payment from current funds is required.

for such Project expenditures occurring within sixty (60) days prior to adoption of this
Resolution. This section of the Resolution is adopted solely for the purpose of establishing

of such bonds, whichever date is earlier. The bonds may be issued in the form of a statutory
installment bond.

specific object or purpose in an amount up to but not exceeding the $4,700,000 maximum
amount of serial bonds authorized to be issued, in anticipation of the issuance and sale of the
serial bonds authorized, including renewals of such bond anticipation notes.
Section 8. Any bond anticipation notes shall be payable from the proceeds derived
from the sale of the bonds or otherwise redeemed in the manner provided by Section 23.00 of the
Local Finance Law. The faith and credit of the Town are hereby irrevocably pledged for the
payment of the bond anticipation notes and the interest on them.

Officer, provided, however, that the maturity of the notes or renewals shall not exceed one (1)
year from the date of issue except as permitted by the Local Finance Law.
