Subdivision 1.Certificates of indebtedness.

The town board may issue certificates of indebtedness within the debt limits for a town purpose otherwise authorized by law, including projects that eliminate R-22, as defined in section 240A.09, paragraph (b), clause (2). The certificates shall be payable in not more than 20 years and be issued on the terms and in the manner determined by the board.

If within that time, a petition asking for an election on the proposition signed by voters equal to ten percent of the number of voters at the last regular town election is filed with the clerk, the certificates shall not be issued until their issuance has been approved by a majority of the votes cast on the question at a regular or special election. A tax levy shall be made to pay the principal and interest on the certificates as in the case of bonds. §
