The parameters for issuing the bonds are that the principal amount should not exceed $15 million, true interest cost should not exceed 4.25 percent per year, and the bonds should be repaid no later than Feb. 15, 2035.

If the parameters are not met by Oct. 1, the authority to issue these bonds will expire.
