Method Of Bond Payment - Bonds Of School Districts And Community College Districts - CA Education

Section § 15230

This law discusses how the board of supervisors decides when bond payments are due, ensuring it's within 25 years. It allows bonds issued after September 15, 1945, to be redeemed early if specified in a resolution, detailing prices, redemption conditions, and notification methods.

The board of supervisors by an order entered upon its minutes shall fix the time when the whole or any part of the principal of the bonds shall be payable, which shall not be more than 25 years from the date of the bonds. If the governing board of the district has prescribed in its resolution the time or times when the whole or any part of the bonds shall be payable, the times and amounts shall be fixed by the order of the board of supervisors.

Any bonds authorized at an election held after September 15, 1945, may be issued subject to call and redemption before maturity at the option of the governing board of the district. The governing board may include in its resolution a requirement that all or any part of such bonds shall be issued subject to call and redemption before maturity and the price or prices at which the bonds shall be redeemed. The board of supervisors, in its order fixing the form of the bonds and the maturities thereof, shall provide that the bonds be redeemable at the option of the governing board and at the price or prices fixed in the resolution. Bonds issued subject to call and redemption prior to maturity shall contain a recital to that effect, and no bond shall be subject to call or redemption prior to maturity unless it contains that recital. The board of supervisors in its order shall fix the method of giving notice of redemption to holders of bonds to be redeemed.

Section § 15231

This law allows the board of supervisors, directed by the school district's governing board, to divide the total amount of authorized bonds into different groups (or series) and set separate dates for when each group will be issued. If bonds were approved through multiple proposals at various elections, these different bond series can be combined and sold together as one or more series, even if they haven't yet been issued.

The board of supervisors at the direction of governing board of the district may divide the principal amount of bonds authorized at any election into two or more series and may fix different dates for the bonds of each series, in which event the maximum maturity date of the bonds shall be calculated from the date of each series respectively. When the issuance of bonds shall have been authorized pursuant to two or more propositions submitted at the same or different elections, all or any part of the bonds not theretofore issued may be combined and issued and sold as one or more series.

Section § 15232

This law allows the board of supervisors to decide where the principal and interest of bonds can be paid. It could be at the county treasurer's office or any location in the U.S., like a trustee's office. The bondholder might also choose the place of payment, which must be stated in the bonds. If the payment occurs somewhere other than the county treasurer's office, the district will cover the costs using taxes collected for paying those bonds.

The board of supervisors may make the principal and interest of the bonds payable at the office of the treasurer of the county, or at any other place within the United States, including any office of a trustee or paying agent, which the board may designate, or at the office of the county treasurer, or at any other designated place at the option of the bondholder. The place of payment shall be specified in the bonds. The expense of paying the bonds elsewhere than at the office of the treasurer shall be a proper charge against the district to be paid out of the tax levied and collected for the payment of the bonds.

Section § 15233

This section outlines how the payment of bonds for a school district is managed. The county treasurer is responsible for paying the principal and interest on the bonds, which involves canceling them once paid. If there's a designated trustee or paying agent, they handle the payment directly to bondholders and canceling of the bonds or coupons after the receipt of the necessary funds.

(a) The principal and interest on the bonds shall be paid by the county treasurer of the county, the superintendent of schools of which has jurisdiction of the district in behalf of which the bonds were issued, at the place required by the terms of the bonds, upon presentation and surrender of warrants drawn by the county auditor in payment thereof, after he or she has canceled the bonds and coupons, or upon the receipt of the registered owner, if the bonds are registered, after a proper warrant has been drawn by the auditor, out of the fund provided for their payment.

(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), if the board of supervisors has designated the office of a trustee or paying agent as the place for payment of the principal and interest of the bonds, then upon receipt of moneys representing the principal and interest on those bonds, the trustee or paying agent shall be responsible for the actual payment to the bondholders and cancellation of any bonds or coupons.

Section § 15234

If a school district has leftover money in a fund used to pay off its bonds and the related interest, that extra money should be moved over to the district's general fund once all the debts are covered. This transfer happens when the auditor gives the go-ahead.

Any money remaining in the interest and sinking fund of any district after the payment of all bonds and coupons payable from the fund, or any money in excess of an amount sufficient to pay all unpaid bonds and coupons payable from the fund, shall be transferred to the general fund of the district upon the order of the auditor.

Section § 15235

When a county treasury has extra money left over in a school's or college district's fund after paying off all bonds and interest, that money must be moved to a special reserve or building fund for future use. It can only be used for specific purposes outlined in another part of the rules or in the budget guidelines for community colleges.

Any money paid into the county treasury of the county and credited to the interest and sinking fund of any district remaining after the payment of all bonds and coupons payable from the fund, or which is in excess of an amount sufficient to pay all unpaid bonds and coupons payable from the fund, shall be transferred to the special reserve fund of the school district, or designated building fund of the community college district upon the order of the auditor, and may be used only for the purpose specified in Section 42840 or in accordance with the California Community Colleges Budget and Accounting Manual and for no other purpose.
