§13-2C-7. Bonds issued to finance industrial project or
commercial project.
All bonds issued by a county commission or by a municipality
under the authority of this article shall be limited obligations
of the county, or of the municipality. The principal and
interest on such bonds shall be payable out of the revenues
derived from the lease, sale, financing or other disposition of
the industrial project or commercial project for which the bonds
are issued, or any other revenue derived from such industrial
project or commercial project. The bonds and interest coupons
issued under the authority of this article shall never constitute
an indebtedness of the county, or of the municipality issuing the
same, within the meaning of any constitutional provision or
statutory limitation and shall never constitute or give rise to a
pecuniary liability of the county, or of the municipality issuing
the same. Neither shall such bond nor interest thereon be a
charge against the general credit or taxing powers of the county,
or the municipality and such fact shall be plainly stated on the
face of each such bond. Such bonds may be executed, issued and
delivered at any time and from time to time; may be in such form
and denomination; may be of such tenor, must be negotiable but
may be registered as to the principal thereof or as to the
principal and interest thereof; may be payable in such amounts
and at such time or times; may be payable at such place or
places; may bear interest at such rate or rates payable at such
place or places and evidenced in such manner; and may contain
such provisions therein not inconsistent herewith, all as shall be provided in the proceedings of the governing body whereunder
the bonds shall be authorized to be issued. Said bonds may be
sold by the governing body at public or private sale at, above or
below par, as the governing body shall authorize. The said
bounds may also be issued and delivered to the owner of an
industrial project or commercial project in exchange therefor and
in partial or complete payment of the purchase price thereof.
The bonds issued pursuant to this article by a county
commission shall be signed by the president and attested by the
clerk of the county commission under the seal of the commission
and the bonds issued by a municipality shall be signed by the
mayor or other chief officer thereof and attested by the clerk,
recorder or other official custodian of the records of said
municipality and under the seal of the municipality. The coupons
attached thereto shall bear the facsimile signature of the
president of the county commission or the mayor or other chief
officer of the municipality. In case any of the officials whose
signatures appear on the bonds or coupons shall cease to be such
officers before the delivery of such bonds, such signatures
shall, nevertheless, be valid and sufficient for all purposes to
the same extent as if they had remained in office until such
delivery.
If the proceeds of such bonds, by error of calculation or
otherwise, shall be less than the cost of the industrial project
or commercial project, or if additional real or personal property
is to be added to the industrial project or commercial project,
additional bonds may in like manner be issued to provide the amount of the deficiency, or to defray the cost of acquiring or
financing such additional real or personal property, and unless
otherwise provided for in the trust agreement, mortgage or deed
of trust, shall be deemed to be of the same issue, and shall be
entitled to payment from the same fund, without preference or
priority, and shall be of equal priority as to any security.
