Latest version.
  • To pay the cost of projects, the board of county commissioners is authorized to issue bonds from time to time. Such bonds may be in coupon or registered form, may be in such denomination, shall bear interest at such rate, not exceeding the maximum legal rate at the time of issuance thereof, and shall mature at such time as may be determined by the board of county commissioners. The bonds may be made redeemable before maturity, at the option of the board of county commissioners, at such price and under such terms and conditions as may be fixed by the board of county commissioners prior to their issuance. The board of county commissioners shall determine the place of payment of the principal and interest on the bonds, which may be at any bank or trust company within or without the state. The bonds shall be signed either by manual or facsimile signatures of the chairman and clerk of the board of county commissioners, provided that such bonds shall bear at least one (1) signature which is manually executed thereon, and the coupons attached to such bonds shall bear the facsimile signatures of such officers as shall be designated by the board of county commissioners. The bonds shall have the seal of the board of county commissioners affixed, imprinted, reproduced or lithographed thereon, all as may be prescribed in the resolution authorizing the issuance thereof. The bonds shall be sold at public sale or private sale at such price as the board of county commissioners shall determine to be in the best interest of the county.
