(1) The board of governors of the Colorado state university system, designated in this section as the "board", is authorized to enter into a contract for the advancement of moneys for the acquisition of facilities or equipment, or both, for the Colorado state university auditorium-gymnasium, and in connection with or as a part of such contract to pledge the net income, or any part of such net income, to be derived from such facilities or equipment, or both, so acquired, and to pledge special student fees assessed for the purpose of financing such facilities or equipment, or both, as security for the repayment of the moneys advanced therefor, together with interest thereon. For the same purpose, the board is also authorized to pledge the net income derived from any similar facility or equipment, or portion thereof, which was not acquired with moneys appropriated to Colorado state university, if such net income derived from such similar facility or equipment, or portion thereof, is unpledged or, if pledged, is currently in excess of the amount required to amortize the advancements and interest thereon for which such net income has been obligated. (2) The board shall not pledge the general income of Colorado state university or create any mortgage upon property belonging to such institution or obligate the state of Colorado for the purpose of repaying or receiving any funds raised or advanced under the provisions of this section. (3) Any advancement of moneys may be evidenced by revenue bonds or warrants to be executed by and on behalf of Colorado state university and containing such terms and provisions, including provisions for redemption prior to maturity and a maximum net effective interest rate, as may be determined by the board. Such revenue bonds or warrants shall bear interest at a rate such that the net effective interest rate of the issue of bonds does not exceed the maximum net effective interest rate fixed, which interest shall be payable semiannually or annually. Such revenue bonds or warrants may be sold at less than par, but they may not be sold at a price such that the net effective interest rate of the issue of bonds or warrants exceeds the maximum net effective interest rate fixed. Any such revenue bonds or warrants may be refunded if in the judgment of the board such refunding is to the best interests of the university. (4) If the net income derived from such facilities or equipment so acquired under the provisions of this section exceeds the amount required for the amortization of any advancement made therefor, together with interest thereon, the board may apply such surplus to the redemption of such securities prior to maturity of such securities according to redemption provisions thereof, or such surplus net income may be used by the board for the purposes of altering or adding to any existing equipment or facilities acquired pursuant to the provisions of this section. (5) All obligations and the income therefrom shall be exempt from taxation, except inheritance, estate, and transfer taxes.
