(1)
The board of directors of the district shall be bound by the plan of financing set forth in the petition for the organization of the subdistrict and approved by decree of the district court. The appointment of appraisers shall not be necessary in the event that the plan adopted provides that general obligations of the subdistrict are to be issued or provides for the issuance of revenue warrants which are a lien and charge upon the rental and income from the irrigation works or reservoirs or other improvements to be constructed under the plan adopted and the rental derived from any such works.
(2)
The warrants shall be payable in such denominations, with a maximum net effective interest rate which may be fixed by the board of directors of said district pursuant to the order and decree of the court. Such warrants shall bear interest such that the net effective interest rate of the warrants does not exceed the maximum net effective interest rate authorized. The board shall pledge the income and rentals from said irrigation works or water supplied therethrough, and the subdistrict shall not be otherwise obligated for the payment thereof.
(3)
At the time said revenue warrants are issued, the board of directors of the district shall make and enter in the minutes of the proceeding a resolution in which the due dates of said revenue warrants, the rate of interest thereon, the general provisions of said bonds, and a recital that the same are payable out of rental and income only are set forth and shall require the payment of an assessment or annual rental charge by the persons who are to use or derive benefit from the water or other service furnished through said improvements or works, sufficient to meet said payments, and the resolution shall be irrepealable during the time that any of said revenue warrants are outstanding and unpaid. The revenue warrants shall be signed "Water Users' Association No. .... in the Colorado River Water Conservation District, By .............., President. Attest .............., Secretary" or "Special Improvement District No. .... in the Colorado River Water Conservation District, By .............., President. Attest .............., Secretary". They shall be countersigned by the treasurer.
(4)
General obligation bonds of said subdistrict shall be signed in the same manner as provided in this section for revenue warrants and shall recite that the same are issued pursuant to the provisions of this article and are to be payable at the time and in the manner and with the rate of interest therein specified and that the same were issued under and pursuant to a decree of court and a resolution of the board of directors authorizing the issue of said obligations and referring to the date of said resolution. Said bonds shall further recite that they are payable from funds to be derived by assessments and tax levies against the property in said subdistrict and not otherwise, and that the same are not to be deemed as an obligation of the Colorado river water conservation district but only as an obligation of said subdistrict, and that the district itself is not obligated in any manner for the payment of said bonds.
