(a) The governing body of any sewer district located in a county designated an urban area under the provisions of Kan. Stat. Ann. § 19-3524, and amendments thereto, without an election thereon, may issue revenue bonds to: (1) Acquire property rights in connection with disposal of sewage, either within or outside the state; (2) enlarge main sewers of the district; (3) construct disposal plants; (4) acquire or construct revenue producing improvements for the district; and (5) provide funds to enable the governing body to exercise any of its powers. All revenue bonds issued shall be secured by a pledge of the revenues of the district, including user fees, charges and other revenues, any of which may be pledged to their payment.

(b) Prior to issuing any revenue bonds, the governing body shall adopt a resolution, which shall be recorded in its journal, declaring the acquisition or improvement necessary to be done and authorize issuance of revenue bonds to pay all or part of the costs thereof, including legal, engineering and other special costs. The resolution shall specify the amount of bonds to be issued, the rate of interest thereon, the maturity dates and the purpose for which the proceeds are to be expended. Revenue from the operation of any improvement financed in whole or in part by revenue bonds shall be paid into the treasury of the sewer district and kept in a separate fund to be used only for the purpose of paying the cost of operating and maintaining the improvement, providing an adequate depreciation fund and paying the principal and interest on the revenue bonds issued.
