A. A city shall have power to issue bonds from time to time in its discretion to finance in whole or in part the cost of the preparation, acquisition, purchase, lease, construction, reconstruction, improvement, alteration, extension or repair of any project or undertaking hereunder. A city shall also have power to issue refunding bonds for the purpose of paying or retiring bonds previously issued by it hereunder. In order to carry out the purposes of the Municipal Housing Law, a city may issue, upon proper resolution, bonds on which the principal and interest are payable:
(1) exclusively from the income and revenues of the housing project or projects financed with the proceeds of such bonds; or
(2) exclusively from such income and revenues together with grants and contributions from the federal government or other sources in aid of such project or projects.
B. Neither the governing body of a city nor any person executing the bonds shall be liable personally on any bonds by reason of the issuance thereof hereunder. The bonds issued under the provisions of the Municipal Housing Law shall be payable solely from the sources provided in this section. Such bonds shall not be a general obligation of the city issuing them, and they shall so state on their face. The bonds shall not constitute a debt or indebtedness within the meaning of any constitutional, statutory or charter debt limitation or restriction.
