Terms Used In Indiana Code 36-9-31-10

  • Board: refers to the board of public works of the consolidated city, subject to IC 36-3-4-23. See Indiana Code 36-9-31-2
  • Disposal: includes the treatment of as well as the placing, processing, confining, compacting, storing, or covering of waste. See Indiana Code 36-9-31-2
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • Lien: A claim against real or personal property in satisfaction of a debt.
  • Net revenues: means the amount of revenues received by the consolidated city from the operation and ownership of facilities less the reasonable expenses of the operation, repair, and maintenance of these facilities. See Indiana Code 36-9-31-2
  • Obligation: An order placed, contract awarded, service received, or similar transaction during a given period that will require payments during the same or a future period.
  • Property: includes personal and real property. See Indiana Code 1-1-4-5
  • Revenue bonds: means bonds issued under section 10 of this chapter. See Indiana Code 36-9-31-2
  • Revenues: means the amounts received by the consolidated city from the operation or ownership of facilities, including amounts received from the collection of fees under section 8 of this chapter, amounts received under financing agreements under section 11 of this chapter, tipping fees, lease rentals, and amounts received from the sale or other disposition of byproducts, but not including any amounts derived from the levy of taxes. See Indiana Code 36-9-31-2
  • Waste: includes solid waste and water disposed of in conjunction with the disposal of solid waste, as well as liquid waste (consisting of sludge from air or water pollution control facilities or water supply treatment facilities), when disposed of in conjunction with the disposal of solid waste. See Indiana Code 36-9-31-2
     (c) The revenue bonds are special obligations of the consolidated city and are payable solely from and secured by a lien upon the revenues of all or part of the facilities whether or not the facilities are being financed with revenue bonds under this section, as shall be more fully described in the ordinance authorizing the issuance of the revenue bonds. The ordinance may pledge and assign for the security of the revenue bonds all or part of the revenues or net revenues of the facilities.

     (d) The revenue bonds, and interest on them, are not a debt of the consolidated city or the board, nor a charge, lien, or encumbrance, legal or equitable, upon property of the board or the city, or upon the revenues of the board other than those revenues of the facilities that have been pledged to the payment of the revenue bonds. Every revenue bond must recite in substance that the revenue bond, including interest, is payable solely from the revenues pledged to its payment, and that neither the board nor the city is under any obligation to pay it, except from those revenues.

     (e) In order that the payment of the revenue bonds and the interest on them be adequately secured, the consolidated city and its officers, agents, and employees shall provide for such covenants and do such other acts and things that may be necessary, convenient, or desirable in order to secure the revenue bonds or that may tend to make the revenue bonds more marketable.
