or benefits.
(1)
The corporation may provide that bonds or any of them may be retired at the
option of the corporation on any interest-paying date after the expiration of a
time determined and fixed therein.
(2) Bonds and
obligations shall not be sold for less than 90 percent of their face value, and
may be issued all at the same time or in such amounts as the board deems
necessary. Before issuing any bonds or obligations the board shall first pass a
resolution authorizing the same and provide the whole amount thereof and the
purpose of same and if payable from a separate fund shall designate the same.
The resolution shall prescribe the form and substance of the bonds or
obligations and provide with respect thereto the matters and things otherwise
prescribed therefor in ORS 554.005 to 554.340.
(3) When any
bond, obligation or coupon is payable from revenue by assessment to constitute
a fund for the payment thereof, any such bond, obligation or coupon may at or
after its maturity be surrendered to the corporation in payment of such
assessment, but not in payment of any assessment for operation and maintenance
expense or any other fund separately pledged for payment of other obligations,
bonds or debts of the corporation. Bonds and obligations received in payment of
any obligation shall be numbered consecutively and the lowest numbers paid off
first.
(4) No
obligations of the corporation shall be issued by the board unless it is
determined that the annual assessment which will be required for the payment
thereof as same matures together with other assessments which will be necessary
for maintenance and operation expense and other purposes will not exceed in the
whole the maximum amount of annual benefits which may be assessed and
apportioned in any one year. Nor shall debts be incurred and obligations issued
the aggregate amount of which will exceed the limitation determined by the
determined benefits as stated in the recorded landowners notice.
