Section 7-7-4268 - Redemption of bonds(1) Whenever there is available money in any sinking and interest fund over and above the amount required for payment of principal and interest becoming due on the next interest payment date and sufficient to pay and redeem one or more of the outstanding bonds of the issue or series to which the sinking and interest fund belongs, which bonds are not yet due but are then redeemable or will become redeemable on or before the next interest payment date, the city treasurer or town clerk shall apply the available money in redemption of as many of the bonds as the available money will pay and redeem to a redemption date on or before the next interest payment date, as fixed by the city treasurer or town clerk.(2) The city treasurer or town clerk shall notify the holder of the bond or bonds, if ownership of the bonds is registered or is otherwise known to the treasurer, the registered owners at their addresses as they appear in the bond registration books, and any bank or financial institution at which the bonds are payable, by mail sent at least 30 days before the redemption date, that bonds will be redeemed and paid on that date. A defect in or failure to give notice may not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of a bond or principal installment not affected by the defect or failure. If the ownership of the bonds is not registered, the city treasurer or town clerk shall also publish in a newspaper of general circulation printed and published in the city or town and, if there is none, then in a newspaper of general circulation in the city or town printed and published in the county in which the city or town is situated a notice that the bond or bonds have been called for redemption and will be paid in full on the redemption date. The notice must be published once, not less than 30 days prior to the redemption date. If actual notice of the call has been received, the holder of a bond may waive published or mailed notice.(3) If the bonds are payable at a bank or financial institution, the city treasurer or town clerk shall remit to the bank or financial institution, before the redemption date, an amount sufficient to pay and redeem the bonds. If the bonds are not presented for redemption and payment on the redemption date, interest ceases on that date if the funds have been deposited in the bank or financial institution.En.
