N.M. Stat. § 72-19-89
Issuance of interim debentures and pledge of bonds as
collateral security.
Notwithstanding any limitation or other provision in the Southern Sandoval County
Arroyo Flood Control Act, whenever a majority of the qualified electors of the authority
voting on a proposal to issue bonds has authorized the authority to issue bonds for any
purpose authorized in that act, the authority is authorized to borrow money without any
other election in anticipation of taxes, the proceeds of the bonds or any other revenues
of the authority, or any combination thereof, and to issue interim debentures to evidence
the amount so borrowed. Interim debentures may mature at such time not exceeding a
period of time equal to the estimated time needed to effect the purpose for which the
bonds are so authorized to be issued, plus two years, as the board may determine.
Except as otherwise provided in this section and in Sections 72-19-90 and 72-19-91
NMSA 1978, interim debentures shall be issued as provided in that act for securities in
Sections 72-19-47 through 72-19-80 NMSA 1978. Taxes, other revenues of the
authority, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing proceeds of bonds to
be thereafter issued or reissued or bonds issued for the purpose of securing the
payment of interim debentures may be pledged for the purpose of securing the payment
of the interim debentures. Any bonds pledged as collateral security for the payment of
any interim debentures shall mature at such time as the board may determine, but in no
event exceeding forty years from the date of either any of such bonds or any of such
interim debentures, whichever date is the earlier. Any such bonds pledged as collateral
security shall not be issued in an aggregate principal amount exceeding the aggregate
principal amount of the interim debenture secured by a pledge of such bonds nor shall
they bear interest at any time which with any interest accruing at the same time on the
interim debenture so secured exceeds six percent per year.
