Statute Text
Sale
of bonds; cancellation.
(1) The board may sell from time to time the bonds which have been authorized
by the electors and in such quantities as may be necessary and most
advantageous. Before making any sale the board shall, at a meeting, by
resolution, declare its intention to sell a specified amount of bonds, and the
day, hour and place of such sale, and shall cause the resolution to be entered
on the minutes. Notice of sale shall be given by publication. The notice shall
state that sealed proposals will be received by the board at its office for the
purchase of the bonds until the day and hour named in the resolution. At the
time appointed, the board shall open the proposals and may reject any or all
bids. After offering the bonds for sale, as above provided, if no satisfactory
bid is received, the board may use the bonds for any purpose for which the
proceeds from the sale of bonds may be used, but the board shall in no event
sell or dispose of any bonds for less than 90 percent of their face value.
(2) The board may
by resolution entered on its records cancel any bonds which may have been voted
or issued which have not been sold or deposited as security for funds advanced
or to be advanced, and which the state, United States or any person has no claim
to or equity in. After such cancellation, the bonds shall not be sold or
otherwise disposed of; they shall be invalid and of no effect; and the board
may not replace them without authorization of the electors. [1965 c.623 §22]
