Title 31, Chapter 7, Section 26
( 31-7-26)
In the discretion of the authority, any issue of revenue bonds
pursuant to this article may be secured by a trust indenture by and
between the authority and a corporate trustee, which may be any
trust company or bank having the powers of a trust company within or
outside the state. Such trust indenture may pledge or assign
revenues and earnings to be received. Either the resolution
providing for the issuance of revenue bonds or such trust indenture
may contain such provisions for protecting and enforcing the rights
and remedies of the bondholders as may be reasonable and proper and
not in violation of law, including covenants setting forth the
duties of the authority in relation to the acquisition of property,
the construction of the project, the maintenance, operation, repair,
and insurance of the project, and the custody, safeguarding, and
application of all moneys. The resolution or trust indenture may
further provide that any project shall be constructed and paid for
under the supervision and approval of consulting engineers or
architects employed or designated by the authority and satisfactory
to the original purchasers of the bonds issued therefor, may also
require that the security given by contractors and by any depository
of the proceeds of the bonds or revenues or other moneys be
satisfactory to such purchasers, and may contain provisions
concerning the conditions, if any, upon which additional revenue
bonds may be issued. It shall be lawful for any bank or trust
company incorporated under the laws of this state to act as such
depository and to furnish such indemnifying bonds or pledge such
securities as may be required by the authority. Such indenture may
set forth the rights and remedies of the bondholders and of the
trustee and may restrict the individual right of action of
bondholders as is customary in trust indentures securing bonds and
debentures of corporations. In addition to the foregoing, such trust
indenture may contain such other provisions as the authority may
deem reasonable and proper for the security of the bondholders. All
expenses incurred in carrying out such trust indenture may be
treated as a part of the cost of maintenance, operation, and repair
of the project or projects affected by such indenture. |
