Section § 52280

Explanation

In California, if bonds haven't been sold within a year after they are given to the county treasurer or not given to the treasurer within a year of the election approving them, the board can officially stop all related proceedings.

The board, by an order entered in its minutes, may cancel all proceedings taken in connection with bonds remaining unsold one year after they are delivered to the county treasurer, or which are not delivered to the county treasurer within one year from the date of the election authorizing the issuance thereof.

Section § 52281

Explanation

This law requires that a certified copy of a particular order be filed with the county treasurer in each county where the lands affected by an assessment, linked to specific bonds, are located.

A certified copy of the order shall be filed with the county treasurer of each county wherein lands affected by the assessment on which the bonds were based are situated.

Section § 52282

Explanation

When the order is received, the county treasurer must cancel any unsold bonds and the coupons attached to them.

Upon receipt of the order, the county treasurer to whom the unsold bonds have been delivered shall cancel the unsold bonds and all coupons attached thereto.

Section § 52283

Explanation

If bonds that were supposed to be sold or issued get canceled, it doesn't change the fact that the assessment (which is the basis for these bonds) is still valid. The board is allowed to ask for payment on any part of this assessment. They can also decide to issue new bonds based on the remaining unpaid portion of the assessment.

Cancellation of unsold or unissued bonds shall not affect the validity of the assessment upon which the bonds were issued, and the board may call for the payment of any part of the assessment as provided in Section 51517 or may cause bonds to be authorized and issued upon the unpaid portion of such assessment.

Section § 52284

Explanation

This law states that if part of a bond issue is canceled, the board must collect the corresponding assessment amount that was meant to secure those canceled bonds. This should be done in installment payments, as the board decides.

The collected money is then deposited in the county treasury and paid out according to the district's needs, specifically prioritizing payments for which the assessment was originally intended.

When a portion of any bond issue is canceled, the board shall call the portion of the assessment securing the canceled bonds, in such installment or installments as the said board shall determine, and the amount collected shall be deposited in the county treasury and paid out on warrants of the district in the order of their registration drawn in payment of costs for the payment of which the assessment was levied.

Section § 52285

Explanation

This law section ensures that when assessments (payments) are called, they are kept at a level that will still allow enough funds to cover the payment of the principal and interest on any bonds that are still owed.

Calls of assessments pursuant to Section 52284 shall be limited to amounts which will leave uncalled a sufficient portion of the assessment to pay principal and interest on the outstanding bonds.
