§ 29970 Bond Redemption Proposal Notice

Key Takeaways

  • •Every year, the county must check if there's enough money in a special fund (sinking fund) to pay back some bonds (like loans) before they're due.
  • •If there's enough money, the county has to tell people by putting an ad in a local newspaper for two weeks in a row.
  • •The ad must say how much money is available to pay back the bonds and where and when people can send their offers to sell their bonds back to the county.

Example

Imagine the county has a piggy bank (sinking fund) to save money to pay back some big loans (bonds) they took out to build a new park.

Every year, the county checks if there's enough money in the piggy bank to pay back some of those loans early. If there is, they have to put an ad in the local newspaper for two weeks, saying something like, 'Hey, we have $100,000 to pay back some park bonds! If you have one of these bonds and want to sell it back to us, send us your offer by June 1st at the county office.'

§ 29970 Bond Redemption Proposal Notice

At least once each year within 60 days prior to an interest-payment date, if the sinking fund contains sufficient available money to call one or more of the outstanding bonds, the board shall, by notice published once a week for two successive weeks in some newspaper published in the county, and, in its discretion, in any other newspaper or newspapers, invite sealed proposals for the sale to the county of any bonds for the payment of which the sinking fund was created. The notice shall state the amount available for redemption of the bonds and specify the time and the place the proposals will be opened. (Added by Stats. 1947, Ch. 424.)
