Operating plan filed by joint municipal lien pool.

7.   Prior to any initial bulk sale, public sale at auction or arrangement for use as collateral for a bond or note of municipal liens by a joint municipal lien pool, the pool shall file an operating plan for review and approval of the Local Finance Board. The operating plan shall include the procedure by which the sale, auction or issuance of bonds or notes shall be accomplished along with a method of distribution of revenues that exceed the costs of operating the activities of the pool. The Local Finance Board shall ensure that the operating plan is fiscally prudent, that the fees and costs to be incurred, including those for professional contracts, are appropriate and reasonable, and that the plan meets such other criteria as the board deems necessary.    L.1997,c.274,s.7.
