Title 3 — BONDS

The City and County may, from time to time, issue bonds for any of the purposes specified in Sections 142(d) and 143 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Bonds shall be negotiable instruments for all purposes, subject only to the provisions of such bonds for registration.

(Added by Ord. 12-00, File No. 992117, App. 2/11/2000)

Every issue of bonds shall be a limited obligation of the City and County payable from all or any specified part of the revenues and the moneys and assets authorized in this Article to be pledged or assigned to secure payment of bonds. Such revenues, moneys or assets shall be the sole source of repayment of such issue of bonds. Bonds issued under the provisions of this Article shall not be deemed to constitute a debt or liability of the City and County or a pledge of the faith and credit of the City and County but shall be payable solely from specified revenues, moneys, and assets. The issuance of bonds shall not directly, indirectly, or contingently obligate the City and County to levy or pledge any form of taxation or to make any appropriation for their payment.

All bonds shall contain on the face thereof a statement to the following effect: Neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the City and County is pledged to the payment of the principal of or premium or interest on this bond.

Any pledge of revenues or other moneys or assets pursuant to the provisions of this Article shall be valid and binding from the time such pledge is made. Revenues, moneys and assets so pledged and thereafter received by the City and County shall immediately be subject to the lien of such pledge without any physical delivery thereof or further act; and the lien of any such pledge shall be valid and binding as against all parties having claims of

any kind in tort, contract, or otherwise against the City and County, irrespective of whether such parties have notice thereof. Neither the resolution nor any indenture by which a pledge is created need be filed or recorded except in the records of the City and County.
