(c) The interest rates under Subsection (b) of this section may be fixed, variable, floating, adjustable, or otherwise, as determined in accordance with the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or notes. The resolution may provide a formula, index, or contractual arrangement for the periodic determination of interest rates without the requirement of specific approval of each determination by the board.
(d) The resolution under which the bonds or notes are issued may delegate to one or more designated officers, employees, or agents of the board the authority to act on behalf of the board, while the bonds or notes remain outstanding, in fixing dates, prices, interest rates, interest payment periods, and other procedures specified in the resolution, so that, among other things, the interest on the bonds or notes may be adjusted by the officer, employee, or agent to permit the bonds or notes to be sold or resold in conjunction with secondary market transactions.
