If the audit reflects that all bonds, notes and coupons duly paid and cancelled have been properly accounted for, then the paying agents or other persons who have the local government's bonds, notes and coupons in their possession shall, at the direction of the local government, destroy the same and furnish a certified list of bonds, notes and coupons duly paid and cancelled by issue showing the bond, note and coupon number, the amount of each, the date paid and such additional information as the governing body may require. The governing body shall cause the certified list of bonds, notes and coupons duly paid and cancelled to be recorded in the official minutes of the governing body.Acts 1986, ch. 770, § 1-23.
