(1) All bonds issued by a municipality
under the authority of this chapter shall be secured solely by
revenues derived from the lease or sale of the facility. Bonds and
any interest coupons issued under the authority of this chapter
shall not constitute nor give rise to a pecuniary liability of the
municipality or a charge against its general credit or taxing
powers. Such limitation shall be plainly stated upon the face of
each of such bonds. The use of the municipality's name on revenue
bonds authorized hereunder shall not be construed to be the giving
or lending of the municipality's financial guarantee or pledge,
i.e. credit to any private person, firm, or corporation as the term
credit is used in Article 8, section 7 of the Washington state
Constitution.
(2) The bonds referred to in subsection (1) of this section,
may (a) be executed and delivered at any time and from time to
time, (b) be in such form and denominations, (c) be of such tenor,
(d) be in bearer or registered form either as to principal or
interest or both, as provided in RCW 39.46.030, and may provide for
conversion between registered and coupon bonds of varying
denominations, (e) be payable in such installments and at such time
or times not exceeding forty years from their date, (f) be payable
at such place or places, (g) bear interest at such rate or rates as
may be determined by the governing body, payable at such place or
places within or without this state and evidenced in such manner,
(h) be redeemable prior to maturity, with or without premium, and
(i) contain such provisions not inconsistent herewith, as shall be
deemed for the best interest of the municipality and provided for
in the proceedings of the governing body whereunder the bonds shall
be authorized to be issued.
(3) Any bonds issued under the authority of this chapter, may
be sold at public or private sale in such manner and at such time
or times as may be determined by the governing body to be most
advantageous. The municipality may pay all expenses, premiums and
commissions which the governing body may deem necessary or
advantageous in connection with the authorization, sale and
issuance thereof from the proceeds of the sale of said bonds or
from the revenues of the facilities.
(4) All bonds issued under the authority of this chapter, and
any interest coupons applicable thereto shall be investment
securities within the meaning of the uniform commercial code and
shall be deemed to be issued by a political subdivision of the
state.
(5) The proceeds from any bonds issued under this chapter
shall be used only for purposes qualifying under Section
103(c)(4)(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended.
(6) Notwithstanding subsections (2) and (3) of this section,
such bonds may be issued and sold in accordance with chapter 39.46 RCW.
