(1) By ordinance adopted by the governing body
at a regular or special meeting, by a vote of a majority of the members of the governing body,
the municipality may issue bonds, payable solely from revenues or from taxes pledged pursuant
to section 31-25-807 (3)(b) or from both such revenues and taxes, to pay all or any part of the
cost of any project or for furthering any purpose of this part 8.
(2) The governing body, in determining such costs, may include all costs and estimated
costs of the issuance of said bonds; all engineering, inspection, fiscal, and legal expenses; any
discount on the sale of the bonds; the cost of any financial, professional, or other expert advice;
contingencies; any administrative, operating, or other expenses of the municipality incurred
pursuant to the issuance of such bonds, as may be determined by the governing body; all such
other expenses as may be necessary or incident to the financing, acquisition, improvement,
equipment, and completion of any development project or for furthering any purpose of this part
8; sufficient provision of reserves for working capital, operation, or maintenance or replacement
expense or for payment or security of principal of or interest on any bonds during or after an
acquisition or improvement and equipment as the governing body may determine; and
reimbursements to any governmental agency or instrumentality for any moneys expended
pursuant to agreement on any project or for furthering any purpose of this part 8.
(3) In each such project financed by the proceeds of bonds issued under this part 8, the
governing body shall determine the costs of, and may budget a percentage therefrom for,
operation and administration of the total cost of the actual project.
(4) The proceeds of the bonds may be expended by the municipality or, with the consent
of the municipality, by the authority as agent for, and on behalf of, the municipality. If the
proceeds of the bonds are applied for the acquisition of real or personal properties, the governing
body may:
(a) Retain title to such properties in its own name and lease or grant licenses or
privileges in such properties to the authority in order that the authority may, as principal or
agent, exercise its powers with respect to such properties; or
(b) Convey title to such properties to the authority for such consideration and subject to
such terms and conditions as the governing body may prescribe without regard to any restriction,
limitation, or condition otherwise imposed by statute on the sale or disposition of such properties
by a municipality.
