A municipal cooperative shall have the power at any time and from time to time after the issuance of bonds thereof shall have been authorized by resolution duly adopted as hereinbefore provided, to borrow money for the purposes for which such bonds are to be issued in anticipation of the receipt of the proceeds of the sale of such bonds and within the authorized maximum amount of such bond issue. Any such loan shall be paid within five (5) years after the date of the initial loan. Bond anticipation notes shall be issued for all moneys so borrowed under the provisions of this section, and such notes may be renewed from time to time, but all such renewal notes shall mature within the time above limited for the payment of the initial loan. Such notes shall be authorized by resolution of the cooperative utility board and shall be in such denomination or denominations, shall bear interest at such rate or rates, shall be in such form and shall be executed in such manner, all as such cooperative utility board shall prescribe in said resolution. If such notes shall be renewal notes, they may be exchanged for notes then outstanding on such terms as the cooperative utility board shall determine. The cooperative utility board may, in its discretion, retire any such notes from the revenues derived from the project or projects or from such other moneys of the municipal cooperative which are lawfully available therefor or from a combination of each, in lieu of retiring them by means of bond proceeds, provided, however, that before the retirement of such notes by any means other than the issuance of bonds it shall amend and modify the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds in anticipation of the proceeds of the sale of which such notes shall have been issued so as to reduce the authorized amount of the bond issue by the amount of the notes so retired. Such amendatory or modifying resolution shall take effect immediately upon its passage.
