						<section><p>The Authority is hereby authorized to fix, revise, charge and collect fees or other charges for the use of the <span class="dictionary">airports</span> and to <span class="dictionary">contract</span> with any <span class="dictionary">person</span>, partnership, association or corporation desiring the use of any part thereof, including the right-of-way adjoining the <span class="dictionary">airports</span> for placing thereon telephone, telegraph, electric light or power lines, and to fix the terms, conditions, rents and fees or other charges for such use. Such fees or other charges shall be so fixed and adjusted in respect of the aggregate of fees or other charges from the <span class="dictionary">airports</span> as to provide a fund sufficient with other revenues, if any, (i) to pay the cost of maintaining, repairing and operating the <span class="dictionary">airports</span>, (ii) to pay the principal of and interest on such <span class="dictionary">bonds</span> as the same shall become due and payable, and (iii) to create reserves for such purposes. The fees and other charges and all other revenues derived from the <span class="dictionary">airports</span>, except such part thereof as may be necessary to pay such cost of maintenance, repair and operation and provide such reserves as may be provided for in the resolution authorizing the issuance of such <span class="dictionary">bonds</span> or in the trust agreement securing the same, shall be set aside at such regular intervals as may be provided in such resolution or such trust agreement in a sinking fund which is hereby pledged to, and charged with, the payment of the principal of and the interest on such <span class="dictionary">bonds</span> as the same shall become due, and the <span class="dictionary">redemption</span> price or the purchase price of <span class="dictionary">bonds</span> retired by call or purchase as therein provided. Such pledge shall be valid and binding from the time when the pledge is made. The fees and other charges and other revenues or other moneys so pledged and thereafter received by the Authority shall immediately be subject to the <span class="dictionary">lien</span> of such pledge without any physical delivery thereof or further act, and the <span class="dictionary">lien</span> of any such pledge shall be valid and binding as against all parties having claims of any kind in <span class="dictionary">tort</span>, <span class="dictionary">contract</span> or otherwise against the Authority, irrespective of whether such parties have notice thereof. Neither the resolution nor any trust agreement by which a pledge is created need be filed or recorded except in the records of the Authority. The use and <span class="dictionary">disposition</span> of moneys to the credit of such sinking fund shall be subject to the provisions of the resolution authorizing the issuance of such <span class="dictionary">bonds</span> or of such trust agreement. Except as may otherwise be provided in such resolution or such trust agreement, such sinking fund shall be a fund for all such <span class="dictionary">bonds</span> without distinction or priority of one over another.</p></section></text><history>2001, c. 342.</history><metadata><court_decisions></court_decisions></metadata></law>
