(B) The board may, by resolution, authorize the issuance of notes of the county to finance all costs pertaining to public infrastructure improvements to be made under division (A) of this section and division (D) of section 307.081 of the Revised Code. The notes shall be signed by the board, shall be attested by the signature of the clerk of the board, and shall bear interest in accordance with section 9.95 of the Revised Code. The notes are not subject to Chapter 133 of the Revised Code. The resolution authorizing the issuance of the notes shall pledge the appropriate account of the county’s redevelopment tax equivalent fund to pay the interest on and principal of the notes. The resolution may also pledge other available funds of the county for this purpose; the resolution, however, shall not pledge to levy or collect an ad valorem property tax to pay the interest on and principal of the notes. The notes may contain a clause permitting prepayment at the option of the board and shall have such other terms as are set forth in the resolution authorizing their issuance. The notes shall be offered at public or private sale as directed in the resolution.
