8-1.5-5-21. Bonds for Proposed Work Projects

Sec. 21. (a) To procure money to pay for the required property and the acquisition, erection, and construction of the proposed work, and in anticipation of the collection of the special benefit tax, the board may issue, in the name of the unit served by the department, special taxing district bonds of the storm water district. The bonds may not exceed the total estimated cost of the work and property to be acquired as provided for in the resolution, including:
(1) all expenses necessarily incurred for supervision and inspection during the period of construction; and
(2) expenses actually incurred preliminary to the acquiring of the necessary property and the construction of the work, including the cost of records, engineering expenses, publication of notices, salaries, and other expenses incurred, before and in connection with the acquiring of the property, the letting of the contract, and the sale of bonds.
(b) After adopting a resolution authorizing the bonds, the board shall certify a copy of the resolution to the fiscal officer, who shall then prepare the bonds. The executive shall execute the bonds, and the fiscal officer shall attest the bonds.
(c) The board may not issue bonds of the storm water district, payable by a special benefit property tax, when the total of the outstanding bonds of the district that are payable from a special benefit property tax, including the bonds already issued and to be issued, exceeds eight percent (8%) of the total adjusted value of taxable property in the district as determined under IC 36-1-15. For purposes of this section, bonds are not considered to be outstanding bonds if the payment has been provided for by an irrevocable deposit in escrow of government obligations sufficient to pay the bonds when due or called for redemption.
(d) The bonds are not a corporate obligation or indebtedness of the unit but are an indebtedness of the storm water district. The bonds and interest are payable:
(1) out of a special benefit tax levied upon all of the property of the storm water district; or
(2) by any other means including revenues, cash on hand, and cash in depreciation or reserve accounts.
(e) The bonds must recite the terms upon their face, together with the purpose for which they are issued.
