Latest version.
  • Said authority may contract with any political subdivision or political subdivisions of this state for the payment of such rents, fees, and charges for the use by such subdivisions or the residents thereof of the project or projects and facilities of the authority, and any such political subdivision shall have and hereby is given the right and power to make such contract, and the rentals contracted to be paid by the lessees or tenants to the authority under such contract or contracts entered into pursuant to the provisions of this division shall constitute general obligations of such political subdivision for the payment of which the full faith and credit of such political subdivision may be pledged to provide the funds required to fulfill all obligations arising under any such contract. Any such political subdivision which shall have entered into such a contract pursuant to the provisions of this division shall annually in each and every fiscal year during the term of such contract include in a general revenue or appropriation measure, whether or not any other items are included, sums sufficient to satisfy the payments required to be made in each year by such contract until all payments required under such contract have been paid in full. In the event for any reason any such provision or appropriation is not made, then the fiscal officers of such political subdivision are hereby authorized and directed to set up as an appropriation on their accounts in each fiscal year the amounts required to pay the obligations called for under any such contract. The amount of the appropriation in each fiscal year to meet the obligations of such contract as authorized and required hereby shall be due and payable and shall be expended for the purpose of paying and meeting the obligations provided under the terms and conditions of such contract, and such appropriation shall have the same legal status as if the contracting political subdivision had included the amount of the appropriation in its general revenue or appropriation measure. Such fiscal officers shall make such payment to the authority if for any reason such appropriation is not otherwise made, and any such political subdivision may obligate itself and its successors to use only such structure, building, or facilities constituting such project and none other.
