Sec. 6. The proceeds of the refunding bonds issued pursuant to this chapter shall be placed in escrow and applied, with any other available funds, to the payment on the date selected for redemption of the principal, accrued interest and any redemption premiums of the bonds being refunded, and, if so provided or permitted in the ordinance authorizing the issuance of such refunding bonds or in the trust indenture securing the same, may also be applied to the payment of any interest on such refunding bonds, and any costs of refunding. Pending such application, such escrowed proceeds may be invested in direct obligations of, or obligations the principal of and the interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America, which shall mature, or which shall be subject to redemption by the holder thereof at the option of such holder, not later than the respective dates when the proceeds, together with the interest accruing thereon, will be required for the purposes intended. In lieu of such investments, all or part of such proceeds may be placed in interest bearing time certificates of deposits with such eligible financial institutions in the state of Indiana as the governing body shall determine or other similar arrangements may be made with such eligible financial institutions with regard thereto which will assure that such proceeds, together with the interest accruing thereon, will be available when required for the purposes intended, provided that, if required by the governing body, such time certificates of deposits or other similar arrangements shall be secured to the full amount thereof by direct obligations of, or obligations the principal of and the interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States of America of the type permitted for direct investment of the escrow fund. All interest or other income earned on such investments shall first be used to pay the interest on the refunding bonds as it becomes due. Any excess shall become a part of and held in the escrow fund. Any balance remaining in the escrow fund after redemption of all the bonds being refunded shall be deposited in the sinking fund established for the payment of the principal and interest on the refunding bonds.
