Summary
The law lets the city sell bonds and short‑term notes to raise money for renovating, building, reconstructing, and equipping parks and recreation centers, including buying land. Proceeds must be used for those projects, bond costs, interest, or repayment of advances. It gives the city council and treasurer flexibility in how the debt is structured and managed.
