The bonds may be additionally secured by a mortgage or deed of trust on property of the authority. (b) The bonds must be authorized by resolution adopted by a majority vote of a quorum of the board of directors. The bonds shall be signed by the president or vice president and countersigned by the secretary, or either or both of their facsimile signatures may be printed on the bonds. The seal of the authority shall be impressed or printed on the bonds. (c) The bonds shall mature serially or otherwise in not to exceed 40 years.
