(1)
At any time after recording the landowners notice as provided in ORS 554.190
and adoption of a plan for improvement of the land described in the articles of
incorporation as provided in ORS 554.210, the board of directors may, if in
their judgment it seems best, and subject to the limitations, restrictions and
provisions of the landowners notice, issue bonds or other obligations of the
corporation necessary or convenient for improving the lands, including the
refunding of outstanding bonds and any indebtedness of the corporation.
(2) The bonds
shall be in such denominations as the board may determine, and bear interest
from date at a rate determined by the board, payable semiannually, to mature at
intervals to be determined by the board, both principal and interest being
payable at some convenient insured institution or trust company, as those terms
are defined in ORS 706.008, that is named in the bonds. The bonds shall be
signed by the president of the corporation and attested with the seal of the
corporation and the signature of the secretary. They may be issued so as to
mature serially in annual amounts so as to be approximately equal, principal
and interest, and may be issued so as to include a sum sufficient to pay the
first four years interest, or less, to accrue on the bonds, and be numbered
serially in the order in which they mature. Each such bond shall have interest
coupons attached bearing the serial number of the bond, which coupons shall be
serially numbered in the order of maturity.
(3) If the
directors so determine, they may issue for the purposes stated in this section,
or as provided in ORS 554.270 and 554.280, one or more amortized installment
obligations of the corporation constituting a designated series of such bonds
as particularly described in ORS 554.280, all of which obligations shall be
evenly and ratably paid as the attached installments mature as determined by
the board of directors and as described in ORS 554.280. The latter bonds and
coupons shall be executed and attested as provided by subsections (1) and (2)
of this section for bonds of the corporation. [Amended by 1969 c.694 §48; 1977
