227. Where a loan has been ordered by by-law of the Council, the executive committee may effect it by issuing securities or by contract, up to the total amount of principal mentioned in the by-law.
The executive committee shall then determine(1) the interest rate on the loan or securities, or the manner of fixing such rate;
(2) the time the loan is effected;
(3) the contents of the securities or of the contracts; and
(4) the conditions of issue of the securities.
The executive committee may then effect the loan for a term shorter than that authorized by by-law of the Council and determine the part of such loan which shall be renewable at maturity and the maximum term of such renewal.
Any loan for the purpose of such renewal may be effected within the twelve months preceding the date of maturity of the loan to be renewed, provided that the term prescribed by the executive committee for the renewal does not exceed the maximum term determined pursuant to this section.
The executive committee may designate a place outside Québec where a register shall be kept for the registration of securities and a person authorized to keep the register.
It may repay in advance a loan that may be so repaid.
It may prescribe rules on any matter relating to borrowings of the Community that the Council, by by-law, entrusts to it for regulation.
A resolution of the executive committee adopted under this section must be approved by the Minister and the Commission municipale du Québec.
