(1)In the event that the board of directors determines to issue road improvement bonds,

or road district bonds for maintenance purposes, it may pledge the special

assessment and liens on the property for the payment of the principal and interest of

the bonds and shall apply the proceeds exclusively to the payment of the bonds. The

bonds shall bear a date not less than thirty

(30)days nor more than sixty

(60)days

after the date which was the last day for the execution by the property owners of

installment payment agreements. The bonds shall be negotiable and payable to

bearer, shall provide for the semiannual or more frequent payment of interest, shall

bear coupons to provide for the payment of the interest, shall be numbered

consecutively, shall be in denominations of one hundred dollars ($100) or its

multiple (provided that any odd amount not in multiple of one hundred dollars

($100) may be included in the last bond to mature), shall be divided into nine

series as nearly equal as practicable, one

(1)series maturing each year, and shall be

payable at the office of the treasurer of the road district or at a bank or trust

company named in the bonds. The bonds shall have the name of the road for the

improvement or maintenance of which they are issued printed or engraved on the

bonds, shall state the character and extent of the improvements, or the character and

extent of the contemplated maintenance, shall be signed by the chairman and

secretary of the board of directors, and the coupons shall be signed by the secretary

either personally or by his engraved or lithographed facsimile signature.

(2)It shall not be necessary in the bonds to recite the steps taken for the improvement

of the road, maintenance of the road, or in making the assessment of the cost, but it

shall be sufficient to make a general reference to the proceedings and to this

chapter. The bonds shall be exempt from all taxation by or in the Commonwealth of

Kentucky. The bonds shall convey and transfer to the owner of the bonds all lien,

right, title, and interest in and to the assessments and liens upon the respective

parcels of land abutting upon the improvement. The liens, until released after

payment, shall be security for the bonds and coupons until they are paid.

(3)The bonds shall be subject to prepayment and redemption at any interest period

which does not occur within four

(4)years from the date of the issue of the bonds.

The treasurer of the district shall, when funds have accumulated from any special

assessment sufficient to redeem in excess of the next series falling due, by lot select

from the next succeeding issue falling due, bonds of a par value equal to the excess

in the fund arising from the excess collection and shall advertise by publication

pursuant to KRS Chapter 424 the designation and numbers of the bond or bonds so

drawn to the effect that on the specified date, the bonds will be redeemed at their

par value and accrued interest. The bonds specified in the notice shall bear no

interest after the date fixed for their redemption, which provision shall be set forth

in substance on the bonds.
