36408.8. A district may borrow money in anticipation of the sale of, but not in excess of the principal amount of, authorized bonds of an improvement district formed pursuant to this division which have not yet been sold and delivered, and for that purpose may issue and sell negotiable bond anticipation notes, and may refund such notes from time to time, but the maximum maturity of any such notes, as originally issued or as refunded, shall not exceed five years from the date of the original notes. The notes shall be sold in such manner as the board may determine, and such notes and the resolution providing for the issuance of such notes may contain any provision, condition or limitation which a bond, or any resolution or ordinance providing for the issuance of bonds, may contain. The interest on bond anticipation notes shall be payable at the time or times provided in such notes and may be represented by interest coupons attached to the notes and shall be payable from the same funds from which the interest on bonds of the improvement district are payable. The principal of such notes may be paid from any moneys of the improvement district available for such purpose. If such notes, or any portion thereof, have not been previously paid, they shall be paid from the proceeds of the next sale of bonds in anticipation of which the notes were issued. The resolution providing for the issuance of bond anticipation notes may contain a provision that, if for any reason bonds of the improvement district are not sold in time to provide funds to pay any unpaid note, and, if other funds of the improvement district are not available for such payment, ad valorem assessments shall be levied upon the assessable land in the improvement district for such payment in the same manner provided for the payment of bonds in such amount each year for such period of years as may be set forth in such resolution. To the extent bond anticipation notes are paid from such assessments, authorized bonds in a corresponding amount shall be canceled and not issued thereafter. When bonds of the improvement district are issued and any portion of the proceeds of the sale are to be used to pay bond anticipation notes, such bonds shall mature not later than the maximum permissible years for such bonds as provided in Section 36195, with the maximum permissible maturity determined from the date of such notes as originally issued.

36447.3. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this chapter to preserve the status of the improvement districts’ bonds which have been consolidated, so that the bonds shall continue to constitute “indebtedness approved by the voters” pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 1 of Article XIII A of the California Constitution and shall reduce accordingly the remaining authorized bonds of the improvement districts. In order to preserve the status of the included bonds, the provisions of this chapter shall be interpreted and applied in a manner so that the burden on the land within the improvement districts does not result in any increase in the amount of assessments that will be levied to pay each improvement district’s proportionate share of the principal and interest payments with respect to each series of the consolidated bonds, over the amount it would have paid had its bonds been sold under other provisions of law. The added financial flexibility included in this chapter has been granted to the district only on the basis that the consolidating of improvement district bond authorizations and the permission to utilize negotiated sale of bonds, variable interest rates, refunding of existing improvement district bonds by exchange, or otherwise, and the other features of this chapter shall be authorized only to the extent that the burden upon the property owners of the improvement districts is not increased.

The variable rate shall on no day exceed the maximum rate permitted for bonds of the district on that day by Section 53541 of the Government Code or any other applicable provisions of law. However, the variable interest rate so permitted may on any day exceed that maximum rate if the interest paid on the bonds from their date of original issuance to that day does not exceed the total interest which would have been permitted to have been paid on the bonds if the bonds had borne interest at all times from the date of issuance to that day at the maximum rate permitted from time to time by Section 53541 of the Government Code or any other applicable provisions of law.
The district may enter into arrangements for the remarketing or resale of the bonds, the purchase and holding of the bonds, liquidity support, debt service insurance or other credit enhancement, and such other matters related to the bonds as the board determines to be necessary or appropriate. The board may provide for the payment of the fees and costs of those arrangements from the proceeds of the bonds or from any other lawfully available source designated by the board, or from any combination thereof.
