7-13-2333. Issuance of revenue or special assessment bonds without election. (1) The board of directors of the district may authorize the issuance of bonds payable from all or a portion of the revenue of the district or from special assessments levied against benefited property in the district to finance the acquisition, construction, improvement, or extension of any facilities of the district benefiting all or any portion of the district for other authorized corporate purposes of the district, to refund bonds issued for those purposes, to fund a debt service refund for the security of the bonds, to pay interest on the bonds during the estimated period of construction or improvement of facilities, and to pay costs of the bond issuance. Revenue or special assessment bonds issued under this section may be authorized by a resolution adopted by the board of directors of the district without need for authorization through an election. Bonded indebtedness incurred pursuant to this section may not be secured by the levy of the deficiency tax provided in 7-13-2302 if not submitted to and approved by the qualified electors of the district.

(2) Revenue or special assessment bonds authorized in subsection (1) may be sold as provided in 7-13-2329. The board of directors may, by resolution, pledge to the payment of the revenue bonds or special assessment bonds all or a portion of the rates, fees, tolls, rents, or other charges afforded by or special assessments levied in respect of facilities of the district, whether financed with bonds or other available funds of the district. The pledge may be made on a parity with or with a superior or subordinate lien to the pledge of the revenue to other bonded indebtedness of the district, subject to any covenants made with owners of outstanding bonds of the district. The board of directors may also make covenants for the benefit of the owners of the bonds as provided in 7-13-2301, but the revenue or special assessment bonds may not be secured by the bond tax levied pursuant to 7-13-2302 or any other taxing powers of the district. The bonds do not constitute and may not be included as an indebtedness or liability of the district for purposes of any statutory debt limitation but are subject to the limitations of this section.

(3) Bonds may be issued under this section only if:

(a) the bonds are issued in the principal amounts and on terms that stipulate that the amount of principal and interest due in any fiscal year on the bonds and any other revenue or special assessment bonds of the district and issued under this section do not exceed the amount of the revenue or special assessment pledged to the payment of the bonds and received in that fiscal year as estimated by the board of directors of the district in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds; and

(b) the final maturity of the bonds is not later than 40 years after the date of issuance of the bonds or the useful life of the project financed from the proceeds of the bonds, as determined by the board of directors.
