Sec. 19. (a) In order to procure funds to pay the cost of a convention center to be built or acquired under this chapter, and to repay advances for preliminary expenses made to the authority by the city under section 9 of this chapter, the board may issue revenue bonds of the authority. The bonds are payable solely from the income and revenues of the particular convention center financed from the proceeds of the bonds.
(b) The revenue bonds shall be authorized by resolution of the board and must bear interest at a rate or rates per year not exceeding the maximum rate fixed in the resolution, payable semiannually or annually, and mature serially, either annually or semiannually, at the times that are determined by the resolution of the board authorizing the bonds. The maturities of the bonds may not extend over a period longer than the period of the lease of the convention center for which the bonds are issued. The bonds may be made redeemable before maturity at the option of the authority, to be exercised by the board, at par value together with the premiums and under the terms and conditions that are fixed by the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds. The principal and interest of the bonds may be made payable in any lawful medium.
(c) The resolution must determine the form of the bonds, including the interest coupons to be attached, and must fix the denomination or denominations of the bonds and the place or places of payment of the principal and interest, which must be at a state or national bank or trust company within Indiana or may be at one (1) or more state or national banks or trust companies outside Indiana. All bonds must have all the qualities and incidents of negotiable instruments under statute, and all bonds constitute legal investments for any private trust funds, and the funds of any banks, trust companies, insurance companies, building and loan associations, credit unions, banks of discount and deposit, savings banks, loan and trust safe deposit companies, rural loan and savings associations, guaranty loan and savings associations, mortgage guaranty companies, small loan companies, industrial loan and investment companies, and other financial institutions organized under statute. Provision may be made for the registration of the bonds in the name of the owner as to principal alone.
