The council may, by resolution, authorize the issuance of the bonds as general obligations
of the council. The bonds must be sold, issued, and secured in the manner provided in
chapter 475, and the council has the same powers and duties as a municipality and its
governing body in issuing bonds under chapter 475, except that no election is required and
the net debt limitations in chapter 475 do not apply to such bonds. The proceeds of the bonds
may also be used to fund necessary reserves and to pay credit enhancement fees, issuance
costs, and other financing costs during the life of the debt.
new text end

new text begin (c) The bonds may be secured by a bond resolution, or a trust indenture entered into by
the council with a corporate trustee within or outside the state, which must define the
revenues and bond proceeds pledged for the payment and security of the bonds. The pledge
must be a valid charge on the revenues received under section 297A.99, subdivision 11.
Neither the state, nor any municipality or political subdivision except the council, nor any
member or officer or employee of the council, is liable on the obligations. No mortgage or
security interest in any tangible real or personal property is granted to the bondholders or
the trustee, but they have a valid security interest in the revenues and bond proceeds received
by the council and pledged to the payment of the bonds. In the bond resolution or trust
indenture, the council may make such covenants as it determines to be reasonable for the
protection of the bondholders.
