The city must start paying back the money within 10 years and finish paying it all back within 50 years. They can split the bonds into groups, like one group paid back in 20 years and another in 30 years. While waiting for the real bonds to be printed, they can give out temporary papers to show people they owe them money.

§ 26241 Bond Maturity And Series

Bonds authorized by this chapter shall mature serially in amounts to be fixed by the board; except that payment shall begin not later than 10 years from the date thereof and shall be completed in not more than 50 years from that date. The board may divide any issue of bonds authorized pursuant to this chapter into two or more series, and may fix different dates of issuance and different maturity dates for the bonds of each series. The bonds of each series shall mature serially in amounts to be fixed by the board, and the board shall fix a date not more than 10 years from the date of issuance of each series for the earliest maturity of such series, and shall fix a date not more than 50 years from the date of issuance of each series for the final maturity of such series. Pending the actual issuance or delivery of bonds, a district may issue temporary or interim bonds, certificates, or receipts, of any denomination whatsoever, with or without coupon, and in such form as may be prescribed by the board, to be exchanged for definitive bonds when ready for delivery. (Amended by Stats. 1959, Ch. 116.)
