In the event that the board of directors determines to issue road improvement
bonds, or road district bonds for maintenance purposes, it may pledge the
special assessment and liens on the property for the payment of the principal
and interest of the bonds and shall apply the proceeds exclusively to the
payment of the bonds. The bonds shall bear a date not less than thirty (30)
days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date which was the last day for the
execution by the property owners of installment payment agreements. The
bonds shall be negotiable and payable to bearer, shall provide for the
semiannual or more frequent payment of interest, shall bear coupons to
provide for the payment of the interest, shall be numbered consecutively, shall
be in denominations of one hundred dollars ($100) or its multiple (provided that
any odd amount not in multiple of one hundred dollars ($100) may be included
in the last bond to mature), shall be divided into nine (9) series as nearly equal
as practicable, one (1) series maturing each year, and shall be payable at the
office of the treasurer of the road district or at a bank or trust company named
in the bonds. The bonds shall have the name of the road for the improvement
or maintenance of which they are issued printed or engraved on the bonds,
shall state the character and extent of the improvements, or the character and
extent of the contemplated maintenance, shall be signed by the chairman and
secretary of the board of directors, and the coupons shall be signed by the
secretary either personally or by his engraved or lithographed facsimile
signature.
It shall not be necessary in the bonds to recite the steps taken for the
improvement of the road, maintenance of the road, or in making the
assessment of the cost, but it shall be sufficient to make a general reference to
the proceedings and to this chapter. The bonds shall be exempt from all
taxation by or in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The bonds shall convey and
transfer to the owner of the bonds all lien, right, title, and interest in and to the
assessments and liens upon the respective parcels of land abutting upon the
improvement. The liens, until released after payment, shall be security for the
bonds and coupons until they are paid.
The bonds shall be subject to prepayment and redemption at any interest
period which does not occur within four (4) years from the date of the issue of
the bonds. The treasurer of the district shall, when funds have accumulated
from any special assessment sufficient to redeem in excess of the next series
falling due, by lot select from the next succeeding issue falling due, bonds of a
par value equal to the excess in the fund arising from the excess collection and
shall advertise by publication pursuant to KRS Chapter 424 the designation
and numbers of the bond or bonds so drawn to the effect that on the specified
date, the bonds will be redeemed at their par value and accrued interest. The
bonds specified in the notice shall bear no interest after the date fixed for their
redemption, which provision shall be set forth in substance on the bonds.
