§ 37624 Bond Repayment Revenue Pledge

Key Takeaways

  • •The money to pay back the bonds comes only from the money the local agency makes, like fees or charges.
  • •The local agency doesn't have to use tax money or other funds to pay back these bonds.
  • •If the agency can't pay back the bonds, it doesn't mean the agency is in debt or has to find more money.

Example

A city builds a new parking garage and issues bonds to pay for it.

The money to pay back the bonds comes only from the money people pay to park in the garage. The city can't use tax money to pay back the bonds, and if the garage doesn't make enough money, the city isn't responsible for paying back the bonds.

§ 37624 Bond Repayment Revenue Pledge

Revenues shall be the sole source of funds pledged by the local agency for repayment of its bonds. Bonds issued under the provisions of this part shall not be deemed to constitute a debt or liability of the local agency or a pledge of the faith and credit of the local agency but shall be payable solely from revenues. The issuance of bonds shall not directly, indirectly, or contingently obligate the legislative body to levy or pledge any form of taxation or to make any appropriation for their payment. (Added by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1345.)
