(1) The county treasurer shall first pay out of the proper special improvement district fund, on each interest payment date, the interest on all outstanding warrants or bonds on presentation of the coupons belonging to the warrants or bonds or otherwise then payable and the principal, if any, then payable on the warrants or bonds. Any funds remaining in the fund must be applied to the redemption of the warrants or bonds in the order specified in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds.

(2) Special improvement district warrants or bonds must be redeemed on any interest payment date from the proceeds of the bonds or warrants remaining after payment of all costs of the improvements, as provided in 7-12-2173, or from the prepayment of assessments levied in the district. Special improvement district bonds or warrants may otherwise be subject to redemption and prepayment as provided in the resolution on any interest payment date.

(3) The date of redemption must be fixed by the county treasurer and may not be less than 30 days after the date of publication or of mailing of the notice. The county treasurer shall give written notice to the holders of the warrants or bonds to be redeemed, if their addresses are known, of the number of warrants or bonds to be redeemed and the date on which payment will be made. If the addresses of the holders of all bonds or warrants to be redeemed are not known, the county treasurer shall publish notice of redemption once in a newspaper of general circulation in the county. On the date fixed for redemption, interest must cease.
