(1) If the governing body determines to issue funding bonds for the purpose of paying and discharging any valid and subsisting judgment against the municipality or if, upon canvassing the vote cast at any election held under the provisions of this part 1, it is determined by the governing body that a majority of the votes cast upon the question submitted are for funding, the governing body shall make such determination a part of the official records of the municipality, and the governing body shall immediately thereafter adopt and make a law of the municipality an ordinance which shall not be subject to the referendum provisions of any law providing for the issue of said funding bonds in accordance with the provisions of this part 1. Such ordinance shall fix the date of said funding bonds, shall designate the denominations thereof, the rate of interest, the maturity date which shall not be more than twenty-five years from the date of said funding bonds, the place of payment, within or without the state of Colorado, of both principal and interest, and shall prescribe the form of said funding bonds.
(2) Such funding bonds shall be negotiable in form, shall recite the title of the act under which they are issued, and shall be executed in the name of the municipality, signed by the mayor, countersigned by the treasurer, with the seal of the municipality affixed thereto, and attested by the clerk. The interest accruing on such funding bonds shall be evidenced by interest coupons attached bearing the engraved facsimile signature of the treasurer of the municipality. When so executed, such coupons shall be the binding obligations of the municipality according to their import. In the adoption of said ordinance providing for the issue of such funding bonds, the governing body shall make the principal of the debt payable in substantially equal annual installments during the period, not exceeding twenty-five years, within which the debt is to be discharged. The date of the maturity of the first installment of the debt shall not be more than five years from the date of said funding bonds.
