(b) Upon the acquisition of such territory by the city the
existing bonded indebtedness of the district shall remain a
superior obligation to any other bonded indebtedness of the city
or town, with respect to such land only, and the bonded
indebtedness of the district shall in no way affect the bonded
indebtedness or limitations on the bonding capacity of the city
or town.
(c) When the governing body of the city or town determines
to acquire by purchase, gift or otherwise the plant facilities
and equipment of a district, it shall adopt an ordinance
describing in a general manner the assets of the districts to be
acquired, the purchase price thereof, the amount of revenue
bonds proposed to be issued, the maturity or maturities, the
interest rate and other details in connection with the bonds.
The ordinance may provide that the bonds or those specified
shall be to the extent and in the manner prescribed in the
ordinance subordinated to any other bonds payable from the
revenue of the water or sewerage system of the city or town. The
ordinance may contain such covenants and restrictions upon the
issuance of additional revenue bonds which share equally from
the revenues of the system as may be necessary or advisable to
assure the payment of the bonds hereby authorized. The ordinance
may provide the revenue bonds or any part thereof may be sold to
the state of Wyoming or the United States of America or any
agency or instrumentality thereof at private sale without
advertisement for not less than par and accrued interest. The
ordinance may provide that the bonds be redeemable with or
without premium at the time or place the governing body
provides.
