(A) A board of township trustees may purchase machinery, tools, trucks, and other equipment for use in constructing, maintaining, and repairing roads and, subject to Chapter 133. of the Revised Code, may issue for that purpose general obligation bonds of the township for which the full faith and credit of the township shall be pledged.
(B) A board of township trustees may enter into a lease for machinery, tools, trucks, and other equipment for use in constructing, maintaining, and repairing roads, including a lease with an option to purchase.
