SECTION 13345-13347
13345. Whenever the board, by resolution adopted by a four-fifths vote of all members of the board of a five-ward district, or by a five-sevenths vote of all members of the board of a seven-ward district, finds and determines that any part of the works of the district has been damaged or demolished by reason of fire, flood, earthquake, sabotage, or act of God or the public enemy, and that the cost of repairing or replacing the works so damaged or demolished is too great to be paid out of the ordinary annual income and revenue of the district, and that the public interest requires the incurring of indebtedness for the purposes set forth in the resolution, the board may authorize the incurring of indebtedness for this purpose pursuant to this chapter. 13346. Whenever the board makes the finding and determination as described in Section 13345, the district may borrow money and incur indebtedness by the issuance of bonds, notes, or other securities as provided in this chapter by action of the board and without the necessity of calling and holding an election in the district. These evidences of indebtedness shall constitute general obligations of the district or shall be payable solely from revenues of the district as the board may determine in the resolution authorizing their issuance. The indebtedness may be incurred for any purpose for which the district is authorized to expend funds. The indebtedness incurred under this chapter shall be evidenced by bonds, notes, or other evidences of indebtedness maturing in not to exceed five years from their date, shall bear interest at the rate or rates fixed by the board, and may be issued and sold at a public or private sale as the board may direct. All other terms and conditions of these evidences of indebtedness shall be fixed by the board. The maximum principal amount of all general obligation indebtedness outstanding under this chapter shall not, at any one time, exceed 1 percent of the assessed valuation of the property within the district taxable for district purposes. The board may authorize and issue refunding notes for the purpose of paying and redeeming at or before maturity any notes previously issued and then outstanding. However, these refunding notes shall not be in excess of the limitation of indebtedness provided in this section and shall mature in not to exceed five years from the dates of the original indebtedness. Refunding notes may in turn be refunded under similar terms and conditions, except that no refunding note shall mature in excess of five years from the date of the original indebtedness. 13347. Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this chapter shall be payable from any sources of available funds, including revenues, taxes, or state or federal grants. The board may levy and collect taxes upon all property in the district subject to taxation by the district without limitation of rate or amount for the payment of any evidences of general obligation indebtedness incurred pursuant to this chapter and the interest thereon. These taxes shall be in addition to all other taxes levied for district purposes and shall be levied at the same time and in the same manner as other district taxes are levied and, when collected, shall be deposited in a special fund and shall be used only for the payment of the principal of and interest on this indebtedness. The board shall apply for any federal or state funds available for purposes of repairing or replacing works damaged or demolished by reason of fire, flood, earthquake, sabotage, or act of God or the public enemy.
