Refunding bonds may be issued in a principal amount sufficient to pay all, or any part, of the principal amount of outstanding Bonds, the interest and premium, if any, thereon due upon call and redemption thereof prior to maturity and all expenses of the refunding. Issuance of refunding bonds may be authorized in a resolution.
