(a) The commission may provide for the bonds to bear interest at a variable or fixed interest rate, for the manner and intervals, in which the rate shall vary, and for the dates on which the interest shall be payable.
(b) In the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of the bonds, the commission may also provide for call and redemption of the bonds prior to maturity at times and prices and upon other terms as it may specify. However, no bond shall be subject to call or redemption prior to maturity unless it contains a recital to that effect or unless a statement to that effect is printed thereon.
(c) The principal of and interest on the bonds shall be payable in lawful money of the United States at the office of the treasurer of the county or at such other place or places as may be designated, or at either place or places at the option of the holders of the bonds.
(d) The bonds, or each series thereof, shall be dated and numbered consecutively and shall be signed by the chairperson or vice chairperson of the commission and the treasurer, or other officer of the commission performing the duties of a treasurer, of the commission, and the official seal of the commission shall be attached thereto. The interest coupons, if any, of the bonds shall be signed by the treasurer, or other officer performing the duties of a treasurer, of the commission. All of the signatures and seal may be printed, lithographed, or mechanically reproduced. However, the bonds shall be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until manually signed by an authenticating agent duly appointed by the commission or its authorized designee. If any officer whose signature appears on bonds or coupons ceases to be such an officer before the delivery of the bonds, the officer’s signature is as effective as if the officer had remained in office.
