(b) A different rate of interest than that authorized in the original issue of tax increment bonds may be prescribed and the tax increment refunding bonds may be authorized to run for a term exceeding thirty years from the date of their issuance or fifteen years from the final maturity date of the tax increment bonds being refunded. (c) If the final maturity date of the tax increment refunding bonds exceeds the final maturity date of the tax increment bonds being refunded, the council shall, if necessary, pass an ordinance amending the original ordinance passed in accordance with section 33-11 to change the termination date of the district to coincide with the final maturity of the tax increment refunding bonds. Such ordinance shall be passed by the council prior to the issuance of such refunding bonds. (1994, ord 94-76, sec 3.) Section 33-32. Obligations unimpaired.
