(a) The bonds shall be signed by the secretary or shall bear the secretary's facsimile signature, and any coupons attached thereto shall bear the facsimile signature of the secretary. Bonds bearing the signatures of officers in office on the date of the signing thereof shall be valid and binding obligations, notwithstanding that before the delivery thereof any or all the persons whose signatures appear thereon shall have ceased to hold such office.

The resolution authorizing the bonds may provide that the bonds shall contain a recital that they are issued pursuant to K.S.A. 32-857 through 32-864, which recital shall be conclusive evidence of their validity and of the regularity of their issuance.
