Sec. 7-493. Bonds and notes to be special obligation of municipality. Applicability of statutory debt limitation. Bonds and notes issued pursuant to this chapter
shall be special obligations of the municipality and shall not be payable from nor charged
upon any funds other than the revenues pledged to the payment thereof, nor shall the
municipality issuing the same be subject to any liability thereon except to the extent of
such pledged revenues. No holder or holders of any bonds or notes shall have the right
to compel any exercise of the taxing power of the municipality to pay any bonds or
notes or the interest thereon, nor to enforce payment thereon against any property of
the municipality except the development property mortgaged or otherwise encumbered
under the provisions and for the purposes of this chapter. The bonds and notes shall not
constitute a charge, lien or encumbrance, legal or equitable, upon any property of the
municipality, except the development property mortgaged or otherwise encumbered
under the provisions and for the purposes of this chapter. The substance of such limitation
shall be plainly stated on the face of each bond and note, with appropriate modification
in the case of bonds and notes secured by the covenant and pledge of a municipality to
restore the capital reserve fund to the maximum capital reserve fund requirement. The
foregoing provisions of this section shall be subject to the provisions of section 7-492
when applicable, including particularly the provisions of said section with respect to
notes and bonds secured by such covenant and pledge of a municipality, and all bonds
and notes so secured shall be disclosed and listed in all reports made or required in
connection with any indebtedness of the municipality which is subject to any statutory
limitation. Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (5) of subsection (a) of section
7-492, bonds and notes issued pursuant to this chapter shall not be subject to any statutory
limitation on the indebtedness of the municipality and such bonds and notes when issued
shall not be included in computing the aggregate indebtedness of the municipality in
respect to and to the extent of any such limitation.
