Pending the preparation of definitive bonds, temporary bonds or interim receipts may be issued in such form and containing such terms and such provisions for exchange for definitive bonds as the city may determine. The determination of the foregoing forms, terms and provisions of such bonds may be made by the bond ordinance or other generally applicable ordinance of the city or may be made by such officer or officers of the city as may be designated for such purpose by the bond ordinance or other generally applicable ordinance of the city.
