(65 ILCS 5/11-128-5) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-128-5)
Sec. 11-128-5.
The corporate authorities may issue bonds against the taxes
levied, but the bonds shall be payable only out of the special tax when
collected and out of the net revenue derived from the operation of the
waterworks.
These bonds shall be made to mature in as nearly as possible equal
installments of $100, or multiples thereof. The first installment shall be
payable one or 2 years from the date of issue, and the last installment
within one year after the date of the last tax levy provided by the vote
authorizing a levy. The bonds shall bear interest at a rate not to exceed
the maximum rate authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the
time of the making of the contract, payable annually or semi-annually.
They shall be sold for not less than
par, or they may be paid out at not less than par for the construction,
purchase, and/or enlargement of the waterworks.
With respect to instruments for the payment of money issued under this
Section either before, on, or after the effective date of this amendatory
Act of 1989, it is and always has been the intention of the General
Assembly (i) that the Omnibus Bond Acts are and always have been
supplementary grants of power to issue instruments in accordance with the
Omnibus Bond Acts, regardless of any provision of this Act that may appear
to be or to have been more restrictive than those Acts, (ii) that the
provisions of this Section are not a limitation on the supplementary
authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts, and (iii) that instruments
issued under this Section within the supplementary authority granted
by the Omnibus Bond Acts are not invalid because of any provision of
this Act that may appear to be or to have been more restrictive than
those Acts.
