14-184-127. Obligation on bonds.

(a) (1) It shall be plainly stated on the face of each bond that it has been issued under the provisions of this subchapter, that the bonds shall be obligations only of the central business improvement district, and that in no event shall they constitute any indebtedness for which the faith and credit of the municipality or any of its revenues are pledged.

(2) No member of the board of commissioners shall be personally liable on the bonds or for any damages sustained by anyone in connection with any contracts entered into in carrying out the purposes and intent of this subchapter unless he shall have acted with corrupt intent.

(b) (1) The principal of, interest on, and paying agent's fees in connection with the bonds shall be secured by a lien on and pledge of, and shall be payable from, the assessments levied against the real property within the district or the revenues derived from the operation of revenue-producing facilities of the district including, without limitation, lease rentals as provided for in this subchapter, constructed or acquired under the provisions of this subchapter.

(2) In this regard, the district is authorized to issue bonds for the purposes of constructing and equipping one (1) or more separate and distinct facilities as it may determine and, in the event more than one (1) facility is involved, to operate and pledge revenues from all such facilities as though a single project were involved.

(c) (1) In the case of a separate facility financed by a separate bond issue, the district may pledge and use for debt service and reserves maintained in connection with the single project revenues derived from another project, either on a parity or subordinate lien basis as may be determined by the district, subject to the provisions of any resolutions or trust indentures which authorized and secured bonds previously issued.

(2) The right to issue subsequent issues of bonds can, if the district so determines, be reserved in any authorizing resolution or trust indenture on either a parity or subordinate lien basis and upon such terms and conditions as the district may determine and specify in the particular authorizing resolution or trust indenture.
