The township board may authorize the trustee of the township to issue bonds of the township to pay the debt created. The bonds:
(1) may run for a period not exceeding ten (10) years;
(2) may bear interest at any rate; and
(3) shall be sold by one (1) of the trustees, with the consent of the township board, for not less than par value.
