Section 32-12-115
Power to issue revenue bonds
- terms
(1)
To carry out the purposes of this article, the board is authorized to issue negotiable coupon bonds payable solely from the revenues derived, or to be derived, from the facility or combined facilities of the rail district. The terms, conditions, and details of said bonds, and the procedures related thereto shall be substantially the same as those provided in part 4 of article 35 of title 31, C.R.S., relating to water and sewer revenue bonds; except that the purposes for which the same may be issued shall not be so limited. Revenue bonds and interest coupons, if any, appurtenant thereto shall never constitute a debt or indebtedness of the rail district or any county, municipality, or other political subdivision of this state within the meaning of any provision or limitation of the state constitution or statutes or any home rule charter and shall not constitute nor give rise to a pecuniary liability of any such rail district, county, municipality, or political subdivision of this state or a charge against its general credit or taxing powers. Each bond issued under this section shall recite in substance that said bond, including the interest thereon, is payable solely from the revenues pledged for the payment thereof and that said bond does not constitute a debt of the rail district within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitations or provisions. Such revenue bonds may be issued to mature at such time, not exceeding the estimated life of the facility to be acquired with the bond proceeds, as determined by the board, but in no event beyond thirty years from their respective dates.(2)
Negotiable coupon bonds payable from revenues derived, or to be derived, from a facility or combined facilities of the rail district as authorized by subsection (1) of this section may further be secured by and be payable from tax revenues of the rail district to the same extent as general obligation bonds authorized in section 32-12-116. The form, terms, and limitations on the bonds shall be as specified in section 32-12-116. The question of the issuance of the bonds shall be submitted to and approved by the eligible electors of the rail district voting thereon, as provided by section 32-12-117.
