7-7-2268. Redemption of bonds. (1) Whenever there is available money in any sinking and interest fund over and above the amount required for payment of principal and interest becoming due on the next interest payment date and sufficient to pay and redeem one or more outstanding bonds, or principal installments in the case of amortization bonds, of the issue or series to which the sinking and interest fund belongs, which bonds are not yet due but are then redeemable or will become redeemable on or before the next interest payment date, the county treasurer shall apply the available money in redemption of as many of the bonds, or principal installments in the case of amortization bonds, as the available money will pay and redeem to a redemption date on or before the next interest payment date, as fixed by the county treasurer.
(2) The county treasurer shall give notice, by mail sent at least 30 days before the redemption date, to the holder of the bonds, if ownership of the bonds is registered or is otherwise known to the treasurer, to the registered owners at their addresses as they appear in the bond registration books, and to any bank or financial institution at which the bonds are payable that the bonds or principal installments will be paid and redeemed on that date. A defect in or failure to give notice may not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of a bond or principal installment not affected by the defect or failure. If the ownership of the bonds is not registered, the county treasurer shall also publish in the official newspaper of the county or other newspaper designated in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds once, not less than 30 days prior to the redemption date, a notice that the bonds or principal installments have been called for redemption and will be paid in full on the redemption date. If actual notice of the call has been received, the holder of a bond may waive published or mailed notice.
(3) If the bonds or principal installments are payable at a bank or financial institution, the county treasurer shall remit to the bank or financial institution, before the redemption date, an amount sufficient to pay and redeem the bonds or principal installments with interest accrued on the bonds or principal installments. If the bonds are not presented for payment and redemption on the redemption date, interest ceases on that date if the funds for payment and redemption have been deposited in a bank or financial institution.
