(1) Notwithstanding ORS § 545.565 to 545.621, the board of directors of an irrigation district may call for payment and retire before maturity any bonds issued in accordance with ORS § 545.565 to 545.621. If sufficient funds are available for the purpose in the special bond fund, the board may direct the treasurer to pay that amount of bonds not due as the money in the fund will redeem at the lowest value at which they may be offered for liquidation, or the board may call bonds for par. The par value of all amortization bonds shall be considered to be the present worth of the unpaid installments on the bonds, discounted to the date they are called at the rate of seven percent per annum. Payment may be made at the office of the county treasurer of the principal county, as defined in ORS § 198.705.
