limitation on time of issuance.
A. In addition to any other law authorizing a county or municipality to issue revenue
bonds, a county or municipality may issue fire district bonds pursuant to the Fire District
Bond Act for the purposes specified in this section.
B. Fire district bonds may be issued for acquiring, extending, enlarging, bettering,
repairing, improving, constructing, purchasing, furnishing, equipping and rehabilitating
any fire district project, including, where applicable, purchasing, otherwise acquiring or
improving the ground therefor, or for any combination of the foregoing purposes. The
county or municipality may pledge irrevocably any or all of the project revenues
provided for the operation of the fire district project for which the particular bonds are
issued to the payment of the interest on and principal of such bonds. The net revenues
of any fire district project shall not be pledged to the bonds issued for any fire district
project which clearly is unrelated in its purpose; but nothing in this section shall prevent
the pledge to any of such bonds of any such revenues received from any existing, future
or disconnected facilities and equipment which are related to and which may constitute
a part of the particular fire district project. Any general determination by the governing
body of the county or municipality that any facilities or equipment are reasonably related
to and shall constitute a part of a specified fire district project shall be conclusive if set
forth in the proceedings authorizing such fire district bonds.
