Any county legislative body adopting proceedings authorizing the issuance of county bonds for the purpose of acquiring, improving, extending, furnishing, and equipping auditoriums, sports arenas, stadiums, convention centers, and all properties and facilities ordinarily forming part of a so-called "convention complex," or for any part or combination of the foregoing, shall in the proceedings authorizing such bonds:
(1) Provide for the creation of a board of directors which, so long as any of the bonds remain outstanding either in original or refunded form, shall have complete management and control of the facilities acquired with the proceeds of the bonds. Such board shall have the number of members, possessing such qualifications and selected for such terms, and shall operate pursuant to such rules and regulations as may be provided in such proceedings. The members of such board shall serve without compensation except for reimbursement of expenses actually incurred in the performance of their duties. After the appointment and organization of any board of directors, all vacancies thereafter occurring, whether by expiration of term or otherwise, shall be filled by majority vote of the remaining members of the board. Subject to the provisions of such proceedings, the members of the board of directors shall have the powers and duties ordinarily enjoyed by the directors of a private corporation operating similar facilities.
(2) Provide that all revenues of every nature derived from the operation of the facilities so acquired with bond proceeds and not expended in the reasonable and proper costs of maintaining and operating the facilities, including the making of necessary repairs and replacements, be pledged to and utilized for the payment of principal of and interest on the bonds and, if so provided, the creation of a reserve for such purpose.
This act is adopted for the purpose of eliminating or
reducing so far as possible the ad valorem taxes necessary
to be levied for the payment of such bonds and for the purpose
of improving the security of such bonds, and accordingly
the holders of the bonds from time to time shall have a vested
and enforceable contract right in the provisions of this
act and in the provisions of the bond proceedings adopted
pursuant hereto.
