The bonds shall be executed by the city executive and attested by the fiscal officer.(g) The bonds are exempt from taxation as provided by IC 6-8-5.(h) All bonds issued by the board shall be sold by the city fiscal officer in accordance with IC 5-1-11.(i) Bonds of the flood control district payable by special taxation may not be issued when the total issue for that purpose, including the bonds already issued and to be issued, exceeds two percent (2%) of the adjusted value of the taxable property within the district as determined under IC 36-1-15. All bonds or obligations issued in violation of this subsection are void.(j) The bonds are not, in any respect, a corporate obligation or indebtedness of the consolidated city, but constitute an indebtedness of the flood control district as a special taxing district, and the bonds and interest on them are payable only out of a special tax levy upon all the property of the district. The bonds must recite these terms upon their face, together with the purpose for which they are issued.(k) An action to question the validity of any bonds issued for the flood control district or to prevent their issue must be brought before the date set for the sale of the bonds, and all bonds, from and after that date, are incontestable for any reason.As added by Acts1982 , P.L. 77, SEC.24.
