owners of the district to refund any part of the bonded indebtedness of the district, it
may issue refunding bonds, payable at any time within forty
(40)years from their
date as the board or governing authority may determine. The refunding bonds shall
not exceed the amount of bonds refunded and interest accrued on the bonds to the
date of the refunding bonds. They shall bear interest at a rate or rates or method of
determining rates as the board determines and be payable at least annually.

par value and accrued interest. The proceeds of the sale of the bonds shall be used in
the payment of the outstanding bonds and the cost incident to the issuing of the
refunding bonds. No refunding bond shall become a valid obligation of the district

canceled. Until refunding bonds have been issued, the rate of tax or amount of
assessment applicable to the bonds to be refunded shall not be reduced.
