CONDITIONS AFFECTING EXPENDITURE OF BOND PROCEEDS

(a) Expenditures of the bond proceeds by the municipality shall: (1) be made in accordance with the covenants of all ordinances enacted by the municipality before the bond election approving the bonds; (2) benefit the residents of the municipality so that the benefits or expenditures, if feasible, reflect the demographic makeup of the municipality; and (3) to the extent the proceeds are designated for housing in the municipality's bond proposition, be made for construction and rehabilitation of housing and all matters incidental to housing construction and rehabilitation on-site. (b) This section applies cumulatively to the entire bond authorization, rather than to individual bond issues or contracts for the expenditure of the proceeds, and the municipality's governing body is responsible for making decisions on individual bond issues and contracts.
