Such limitation shall be plainly stated upon the face of such bonds.
     (2) The bonds referred to in Subsection (1) may be authorized by resolution of the governing body, and may:
     (a) be executed and delivered at any time and from time to time;
     (b) be in such form and denominations;
     (c) be of such tenor;
     (d) be in registered or bearer form either as to principal or interest or both;

     (3) Any bonds issued under this chapter may be sold at public or private sale in such manner and at such time or times as may be determined by the governing body to be most advantageous.

     (4) All bonds issued under this chapter and all interest coupons applicable thereto shall be construed to be negotiable instruments, despite the fact that they are payable solely from a specified source.
