Ordinance.
The ordinance authorizing the refunding
bonds shall prescribe all details thereof and shall provide for the levy
and collection of a direct annual tax upon all the taxable property within
the county sufficient to pay the principal thereof and interest thereon as
it matures. This tax shall be in addition to and exclusive of the maximum
of all other taxes authorized to be levied by the county. Tax limitations
applicable to the county provided by statutes of this State shall not apply
to taxes levied for payment of these refunding bonds. However, taxes
provided to be levied for payment of refunding bonds of any county shall
not be in excess of the constitutional limitation of 75¢ per $100 valuation
unless that excess is authorized by a vote of the people of the county.
A certified copy of the bond ordinance shall be filed with the county
clerk of the county and shall constitute the authority for the extension
and collection of refunding bond and interest taxes as required by the
constitution.

Sec. 6-10003.
Exchange or sale of refunding bonds.
The refunding bonds may be exchanged for the bonds to be refunded
on the basis of dollar for dollar for the par value of the bonds, interest
coupons, and interest not represented by coupons, if any. Instead of this
exchange, the refunding bonds may be sold at not less than their par value
and accrued interest. The proceeds received from their sale shall be used
to pay the bonds, interest coupons, and interest not represented by
coupons, if any. This payment may be made without any prior appropriation
therefor under any budget law.
Bonds and interest coupons which have been received in exchange or paid
shall be cancelled and the obligation for interest, not represented by
coupons, which has been discharged, shall be evidenced by a written
acknowledgment of the exchange or payment thereof.

Sec. 6-10004.
Form of refunding bonds; maturity.
The
refunding bonds shall be of such form and denomination, payable
at such place, bear such date, and be executed by such officials as may be
provided by the corporate authorities of the county in the bond ordinance.
They shall mature within not to exceed twenty years from their date, and
may be made callable on any interest payment date at par and accrued
interest after notice has been given at the time and in the manner provided
in the bond ordinance.
If there is no default in payment of the principal of or interest upon
the refunding bonds, and if after setting aside a sum of money equal to the
amount of interest that will accrue on the refunding bonds, and a sum of
money equal to the amount of principal that will become due thereon, within
the next six months period, the treasurer and comptroller, if there is a
comptroller, of the county shall use the money available from the proceeds
of taxes levied for the payment of the refunding bonds in calling them for
payment, if, by their terms, they are subject to redemption. However, a
county may provide in the bond ordinance that, whenever the county is not
in default in payment of the principal of or interest upon the refunding
bonds and has set aside the sums of money provided in this paragraph for
interest accruing and principal maturing within the next six months period,
the money available from the proceeds of taxes levied for the payment of
refunding bonds shall be used, first, in the purchase of the refunding
bonds at the lowest price obtainable, but not to exceed their par value and
accrued interest, after sealed tenders for their purchase have been
advertised for as may be directed by the corporate authorities thereof.
Refunding bonds called for payment and paid or purchased under this
Section shall be marked paid and cancelled.
