(65 ILCS 5/8-4-15) (from Ch. 24, par. 8-4-15)
Sec. 8-4-15.
The ordinance authorizing such refunding revenue bonds shall
prescribe all the details thereof and the bonds shall be in such form and
denomination, payable at such places, bear such date and be executed by
such officials as may be provided in the bond ordinance. The ordinance also
shall determine the period of usefulness of the utility. The refunding
revenue bonds shall mature within the determined period of usefulness of
the utility and shall mature, in any event, within not to exceed 40 years
from their date, and may be made callable on any interest payment date at a
price of par and accrued interest, after notice shall be given by
publication or otherwise at any time or times and in the manner as may be
provided for in the bond ordinance.
The ordinance may contain such covenants and restrictions upon the
issuance of additional refunding revenue bonds, or revenue bonds for the
improvement and extension of such utility or facility as may be deemed
necessary or advisable for the assurance of the payment of the refunding
revenue bonds thereby authorized. Such bonds shall be payable solely from
the revenues derived from such municipally-owned utility or facility and
such bonds shall not, in any event, constitute an indebtedness of the
municipality within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory
limitation, and it shall be plainly stated on the face of each bond that it
does not constitute an indebtedness of the municipality within the meaning
of any constitutional or statutory provision or
limitation.
The validity of any refunding revenue bonds shall remain unimpaired,
although one or more of the officials executing the same shall cease to be
such officer or officers before delivery thereof, and such bonds shall have
all the qualities of negotiable instruments under the Law Merchant and
Article 3 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
