Statute Text
Resolution or ordinance authorizing revenue bonds and creating special trust
fund.
(1) Revenue
bonds issued under ORS 777.560 (1) shall be authorized by resolution or
ordinance of the board. The resolution or ordinance shall provide for the
creation of a special trust fund, authorize the appointment of a trustee to
administer the fund, and obligate the port to set aside and pay into the
special trust fund all, or a portion, of its nontax-derived revenues not
otherwise pledged or committed for other purposes for any activity authorized
by ORS 777.105 to 777.258, other than an activity under ORS 777.250 (4)(a) or
(c). For a facility or facilities designated under ORS 777.250 (4)(a) or (c),
no revenues other than those derived from the particular facility or facilities
to be financed by the sale of the particular issue of revenue bonds then being
authorized shall be pledged. The board may, in addition, pledge for the payment
of the principal and interest of any issue of such bonds any property of the
port not pledged for other purposes. However, with respect to revenue bonds
issued to finance a facility or facilities designated under ORS 777.250 (4)(a)
or (c), the board, in addition, may only pledge or mortgage such facilities
including buildings, improvements or properties, and any land acquired in
connection with such facilities, for the benefit of the holders of revenue
bonds issued therefor. Notice that action upon the bond resolution or ordinance
will be taken at the designated meeting of the board shall be given for a
period of not less than two consecutive weeks, prior to the meeting, by
publication once each week in a newspaper of general circulation, published
within the port or, if there be no such newspaper, in a newspaper of general
circulation, published within the county.

upon the revenue bonds issued and sold pursuant to ORS 777.560 (1), and to the
payment of the costs and expenses enumerated in ORS 777.560.

resolution or ordinance may provide that if the money in the special trust fund
is insufficient to pay the revenue bonds the bonds shall be payable out of any
part or all of other nontax-derived revenues of the port. However, for a
facility or facilities designated under ORS 777.250 (4)(a) or (c), no revenues
other than those derived from the particular facility or facilities to be
financed by the sale of the particular issue of revenue bonds then being
