Sec. 375.207. MUNICIPAL APPROVAL. (a) A district must obtain the approval of the governing body of the municipality in which it is located for bond issues for an improvement project and the plans and specifications of an improvement project financed by the bond issue before those bonds may be issued.
(b) Instead of approval of bonds by the municipality, the district before finally approving a capital improvements budget may obtain approval from the governing body of the municipality of a capital improvements budget for a period not to exceed five years. If a district obtains approval of a capital improvements budget, it may finance the capital improvements and issue bonds specified in the budget without further approval from the municipality.
(c) A district must obtain approval from the municipality of the plans and specifications of any improvement project that involves the use of the rights-of-way of streets, roads, or highways or the use of municipal land or any easements granted by the municipality.
(d) Except as provided by Section 375.263, a municipality is not obligated to pay any bonds, notes, or other obligations of the district.
