resolution authorizing revenue bonds unless specifically so permitted by a
covenant of the kind authorized to be included in a resolution by Section 15.

Treasurer, with a surety authorized to do business under the laws of the
State of Illinois, in an amount to be fixed by resolution of the Authority

at any time. The premiums on that bond are payable from the funds of the
Authority. The bond shall be subject to the approval of the Governor and
Attorney General of the State of Illinois, and, when so approved, shall be
filed in the office of the Secretary of State.

perimeter area facility or facilities may be used for rehabilitation,
reconstruction and expansion of existing airports, related facilities,
perimeter areas and perimeter area facilities, or for retirement of any
outstanding bonds issued for airport purposes. After all such bonds have
been paid, such income and revenues may be transferred to the general
corporate fund of the Authority and be used for the maintenance, operation,
repair and development of such airport or airports, related facility or
facilities, perimeter area or areas, and perimeter area facility or
facilities, or for any corporate purpose.
