2021 Tennessee Code|Title 7 - Consolidated Governments and Local Governmental Functions and Entities|Chapter 67 - Sports Authorities Act of 1993|§ 7-67-113. Security for Bonds

  The principal of and interest on any bonds issued by the authority shall be secured by a pledge of the revenues and receipts out of which the principal and interest shall be made payable and may be secured by a pledge of revenues of the authority derived from other sources, such as revenues from other sports and recreational facilities and a mortgage or deed of trust covering all or any part of the projects from which the revenues or receipts so pledged may be derived, including any enlargements of and additions to any such projects thereafter made, or revenues derived directly or indirectly by the authority from tax revenues allocated, transferred, contributed or pledged by a municipality having taxing authority, other than tax revenues derived from ad valorem property taxes that shall not be contributed or pledged by a municipality in payment of or collateral for any revenue bonds of the authority. The proceedings under which the bonds are authorized to be issued and any such mortgage or deed of trust may contain any agreements and provisions respecting the maintenance of the projects covered by the bonds, the fixing and collection of rents for any portions of projects leased by the authority to others, the creation and maintenance of special funds from such revenues and the rights and remedies available in the event of default, all as the board of directors shall deem advisable and not in conflict with this chapter. Each pledge, agreement, or mortgage or deed of trust made for the benefit or security of any of the bonds of the authority shall continue effective until the principal of and interest on the bonds for the benefit of which the pledge, agreement, or mortgage or deed of trust were made shall have been fully paid. In the event of default in such payment or in any agreement of the authority made as a part of the contract under which the bonds were issued, whether contained in the proceedings authorizing the bonds or in any mortgage or deed of trust executed as security for the bonds, such payment or agreement may be enforced by suit, mandamus, the appointment of a receiver in equity or by foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed of trust, or any one (1) or more of such remedies.   The board of directors of any authority issuing bonds under this chapter shall charge, collect and revise, from time to time whenever necessary, rents and charges for the rental of projects or parts of projects, the revenues from which are pledged to the payment of such bonds, sufficient to pay for the operation and maintenance of such projects and such portion of the administrative costs of the authority as may be provided in the lease or leases of such projects, and to pay such bonds and the interest on the bonds as the bonds and interest become due, including such reserves for the bonds and interest as may be determined to be necessary by the board of directors.
