(1) The loan contract must be approved by resolution of the board and the fiscal body of the eligible entity that established the board.
(2) The loan contract must provide for the repayment of the loan in not more than forty (40) years.
(3) The loan contract must state that the indebtedness is that of the board, is payable solely from revenues of the board that are derived from either airport operations or from revenue bonds, and may not be paid by a tax levied on property located within the district.
(4) The loan contract must be submitted to the department of local government finance, which may approve, disapprove, or reduce the amount of the proposed loan contract. The department of local government finance must make a decision on the loan contract within thirty (30) days after the contract is submitted for review.
