Sec. 30. (a) For the purposes of anticipating the collection of assessments under this chapter, the municipality shall issue bonds payable out of the assessments. However, a consolidated city is not required to issue bonds under this section.
(b) The terms of the bonds may allow early retirement of the bonds for and to the extent of prepayment of assessments in anticipation of which the bonds were issued.
(c) The bonds bear interest at a rate or rates determined by the legislative body of the municipality and shall be executed, sold, and delivered in denominations determined to be appropriate by the municipal fiscal officer as bonds of a municipality are executed, sold, and delivered.
(d) If the bonds are sold at a public sale, the advertisement of the sale of the bonds shall be published in accordance with IC 5-3-1. The municipality may also sell the bonds by negotiated private sale to a financial institution.
(e) Unless the municipality chooses to sell the bonds by a negotiated private sale to a financial institution, the sale shall be made to the highest and best bidder, as provided in IC 36-9-36. However, the sale may not be for less than the face value of the bonds, plus interest from the date of the bonds to the date of delivery.
(f) The bonds and interest on the bonds are exempt from taxation to the extent provided by IC 6-8-5-1.
(g) The bonds are not a corporate obligation or an indebtedness of the municipality and are payable only out of money actually paid and collected under this chapter (or under IC 36-9-20 before its repeal in 1993). The bonds must state this fact on the bonds' face.
