§ 6084.2. A district may issue limited obligation notes after the adoption, by a four-fifth

(a) A district may issue limited obligation notes after the adoption, by a four-fifths vote of all the commissioners of the board, of a resolution reciting each of the following: (1) That the resolution is being adopted pursuant to this subdivision. (2) The purposes of incurring the indebtedness. (3) The estimated amount of the indebtedness. (4) The maximum amount of notes to be issued, and the source of revenue or revenues to be used to secure the limited obligation notes. (5) The maturity date of the limited obligation notes. (6) The form of the limited obligation notes. (7) The manner of execution of the limited obligation notes. (b) The resolution may also provide for one or more of the following matters: (1) Insurance for the limited obligation notes. (2) Procedures in the event of default, terms upon which the limited obligation notes may be declared due before maturity, and the terms upon which that declaration may be waived. (3) The rights, liabilities, powers, and duties arising upon the district’s breach of an agreement with regard to the limited obligation notes. (4) The terms upon which the holders of the limited obligation notes may enforce agreements authorized by this section. (5) A procedure for amending or abrogating the terms of the resolution with the consent of the holders of a specified percentage of the limited obligation notes. If the resolution contains this procedure, the resolution shall specifically state the effect of amendment upon the rights of the holders of all of the limited obligation notes. (6) The manner in which the holders of the limited obligation notes may take action. (7) Other actions necessary or desirable to secure the limited obligation notes or tending to make the notes more marketable. (c) The limited obligation notes shall bear interest at a rate not exceeding the rate permitted under Article 7 (commencing with Section 53530) of Chapter 3 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code. (d) The limited obligation notes may not mature later than 10 years after the date of the issuance of the notes, and the total amount of the limited obligation notes outstanding at any one time for the district may not exceed the sum of ten million dollars ($10,000,000). (e) The agreement between the district and the purchasers of the limited obligation notes shall state that the notes are limited obligation notes payable solely from specified revenue of the district. The pledged revenue shall be sufficient to pay the following amounts annually, as they become due and payable: (1) The interest and principal on the notes. (2) Payments required for compliance with the resolution authorizing issuance of the notes or agreements with the purchasers of the notes. (3) Payments to meet any other obligations of the district that are charges, liens, or encumbrances on the pledged revenue. (f) The limited obligation notes are special obligations of the district, and shall be a charge against, and secured by a lien upon, and payable, as to the principal thereof and interest thereon, from the pledged revenue. If the revenue described in the authorizing resolution is insufficient for the payment of interest and principal on the notes, the district may make payments from any other funds or revenues that may be applied to their payment. The revenue and any interest earned on the revenue constitute a trust fund for the security and payment of the interest on and principal of the notes. (g) So long as any limited obligation notes or interest thereon are unpaid following their maturity, the pledged revenue and interest thereon may not be used for any other new purpose. (h) If the interest and principal on the limited obligation notes and all charges to protect them are paid when due, the district may expend the pledged revenue for other purposes. (i) Limited obligation notes of the same issue shall be equally secured. (j) The general fund of the district is not liable for the payment of the principal or the interest on the limited obligation notes. (k) The holders of the limited obligation notes may not compel the exercise of the taxing power by the district, other than the revenue pledged, or the forfeiture of the district’s property. ( l ) Every agreement shall recite in substance that the principal of, and interest on, the limited obligation notes are payable solely from the revenue pledged to the payment of the principal and interest and that the district is not obligated to pay the principal or interest except from the pledged revenue.
