Issuance of negotiable coupon bonds
Official statutory text
Upon the expiration of thirty (30) days after the passage of the
assessing ordinance, the governing body may provide by resolution
for the issuance of negotiable interest coupon bonds. The bonds
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 11. Cities and Towns Page 349
shall be designated Local Improvement Bonds and shall be of such
denominations and in such form as the governing body shall
determine. The bonds shall bear the date of thirty (30) days after
the publication of the assessing ordinance and shall bear interest
at the rate of seven percent (7%) per annum until paid, and ten
percent (10%) per annum, from maturity. The bonds may be registered
in the name of the holder thereof and shall be payable at the office
of the municipal treasurer or at the fiscal agency of the State of
Oklahoma. The interest thereon shall be payable annually on the
first day of September of each year. Upon the issuance of the
bonds, they shall be delivered to the municipal treasurer and shall
be sold at not less than par. If the governing body deems it most
advantageous to the municipality, the bonds may be used for the
payment of the cost of acquiring the real estate necessary for the
improvement. The bonds shall be paid from the accumulation of
assessments, interest and penalty, levied against the several lots
and tracts of land described in the assessing ordinance. The
accumulations shall be retained in a separate, special fund used for
the purpose of paying the bonds and interest thereon, and for no
other purpose whatsoever. Any surplus remaining in the fund, after
the payment of all bonds and the interest thereon, shall become the
property of the municipality. In no event shall the municipality be
liable for the payment of the bonds.
