§ 14-184-120. Authority to borrow, issue bonds, etc. — Security — Amount.

For the purpose of providing funds to pay preliminary expenses, to construct improvements according to the plan, or to pay for an improvement already completed, a central business improvement district may borrow money in an amount not exceeding the estimated costs of it, including interest on the money borrowed to a date six (6) months subsequent to the estimated date of completion of the work and a reserve not to exceed one (1) year's principal and interest requirements and, to that extent, may issue negotiable bonds or certificates of indebtedness bearing a rate of interest not to exceed the maximum rate allowed by law. In order to secure the bonds, the district may pledge and mortgage all uncollected assessment of benefits for the payment of the bonds. In addition to bonds for which uncollected assessments may be mortgaged and pledged, or in conjunction with them, the district is authorized to issue revenue bonds from time to time in sufficient principal amounts and to use the proceeds of them, together with any other available funds, for the purposes set forth in this subchapter.
