§ 21-33-326. Borrowing in anticipation of confirmed federal grants or loans.
(1) Any city, town or village that shall have received a binding commitment from the United States of America, or any agency thereof, or the State of Mississippi, or any agency thereof, for a grant or loan may borrow money in anticipation of receipt of funds from such confirmed grant or loan unless prohibited by federal law or by the terms of the agreement concerning such grant or loan and may assign and pledge as security for such interim financing the proceeds of any such grant or loan. The governing authority of the municipality may borrow such money, as hereinbefore provided, from any available fund in the municipal treasury, or from any other source, and such loan shall be repaid in the manner herein provided.
(2) Such interim financing shall be upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon by the issuing entity and the party advancing such interim funds or the purchaser of the obligations evidencing such indebtedness; provided, however, that the principal on any such loan shall be repaid within a reasonable time after receipt of funds from the United States of America, or from the State of Mississippi, or any agency thereof, the anticipation of which gave rise to said interim financing, and provided that the interest rate on such interim financing shall not exceed that allowed in Section 75-17-107, Mississippi Code of 1972.
(3) In borrowing money under the provisions hereof, it shall not be necessary to publish notice of intention so to do or to secure the consent of the qualified electors, either by election or otherwise. Such borrowing may be authorized by resolution of the governing authority of the issuing entity and may be evidenced by a negotiable note or notes in such form as may be prescribed in such resolution. The indebtedness incurred under this section shall not be considered when computing any limitation of indebtedness of the issuing entity established by law.
(4) Such borrowing, whether or not evidenced by a negotiable note or notes, may be placed or sold at public or private sales for such price and in such manner and from time to time as may be determined by the issuing entity, and the issuing entity may pay all expenses, premiums and commissions which its governing body may deem necessary or advantageous in connection with the issuance thereof.
(5) Such borrowing shall be limited to the sum of: (a) the amount of the confirmed grant or loan; (b) the amount of interest payable on such interim financing; and (c) the reasonable cost of incurring such indebtedness or issuing the note or notes evidencing such indebtedness. All moneys borrowed under the authority of this section shall be secured by and repaid from the grant or loan proceeds, earnings on the investment of the grant or loan proceeds and the proceeds of the interim financing, and from any other proceeds, revenues or earnings received by the issuing entity in connection with such grant or loan or with the interim financing, and may be further secured by and repaid from available revenues of a municipally owned utility.
(6) In the event grant or loan proceeds pledged to the repayment of the interim financing have not been received in time to pay at maturity all or a portion of the principal of and interest on the indebtedness incurred pursuant to this section, the issuing entity may borrow additional moneys pursuant to this section in anticipation of the aforesaid grant or loan proceeds in order to pay at maturity the outstanding principal and interest on the indebtedness previously incurred, provided that the indebtedness originally incurred shall be promptly repaid upon receipt of proceeds of such subsequent borrowing. The issuing entity may enter into agreements with one or more lenders obligating such lenders to provide such additional financing upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon by the issuing entity and the lenders.
(7) The issuing entity borrowing money under the provisions of this section may employ a fiscal adviser under the terms and conditions provided in Section 21-27-45.
(8) This section, without reference to any other statute, shall be deemed to be full and complete authority for the borrowing of such funds and the issuance of a note or notes to evidence such indebtedness, and shall be construed as an additional and alternative method therefor, and none of the present restrictions, requirements, conditions or limitations of law applicable to the issuance or sale of bonds, notes or other obligations by the issuing entity in this state shall apply to the borrowing of funds under this section, and no proceedings shall be required for the borrowing of such funds other than those provided for and required herein, and all powers necessary to be exercised in order to carry out the provisions of this section are hereby conferred; provided further, that powers herein granted shall refer only to notes issued in anticipation of confirmed grants or loans as provided hereinabove.
