Section 5-17-28 - General obligation bonds; tax levy; exceptionA. At any time after the organization of the infrastructure development zone, the board may order and call a general obligation bond election to submit to the eligible electors the question of authorizing the infrastructure development zone to issue general obligation bonds of the infrastructure development zone to provide money for any services consistent with the service plan. If included in the petition filed pursuant to Section 3 [5-17-3 NMSA 1978] of the Infrastructure Development Zone Act, the question of authorizing general obligations bonds may also be held in conjunction with the organization election.B. If general obligation bonds are approved at an election, the board may issue and sell general obligation bonds of the infrastructure development zone.C. Bonds may be sold in a public offering or in a negotiated sale.D. After the bonds are issued, the board shall enter in its minutes a record of the bonds sold and their numbers and dates and shall annually levy and cause a property tax to be collected, at the same time and in the same manner as other property taxes are levied and collected on all taxable property in the infrastructure development zone, sufficient, together with any money from the sources described in Section 26 [5-17-26 NMSA 1978] of the Infrastructure Development Zone Act to pay debt service on the bonds when due. Money derived from the levy of property taxes that are pledged to pay the debt service on the bonds shall be kept separately from other funds of the infrastructure development zone. Property tax revenues not pledged to pay debt service on bonds may be used to pay other costs of the infrastructure development zone, including costs of organization, administration, operation and maintenance, services or enhanced services. An infrastructure development zone's levy of property taxes shall constitute a lien on all taxable property within the infrastructure development zone, including all leased property or improvements to leased land, which shall be subject to foreclosure in the same manner as other property tax liens under the laws of this state. The lien shall include delinquencies and interest thereon at a rate not to exceed ten percent per year, the actual costs of foreclosure and any other costs of the infrastructure development zone resulting from the delinquency. The proceeds of any foreclosure sale shall be deposited in the special bond fund for payment of any obligations secured thereby.E. Subject to the election requirements of this section, an infrastructure development zone may issue general obligation bonds at such times and in such amounts as the infrastructure development zone deems appropriate to carry out a project or projects in phases.F. Pursuant to this section, the infrastructure development zone may issue and sell refunding bonds to refund general obligation bonds of the infrastructure development zone authorized by the Infrastructure Development Zone Act. No election is required in connection with the issuance and sale of refunding bonds. Refunding bonds issued pursuant to this section shall have a final maturity date no later than the final maturity date of the bonds being refunded.Laws 2009, ch. 136, § 28.
