Ind. Code § 36-9-30-32 – Lease with option to purchase facilities; exercise of option; nonexercise of option; extension of lease

(a) If a unit exercises an option to purchase contained in a lease under section 24 of this chapter, it may pay the purchase price of the facilities purchased with money obtained from bonds issued and sold under the statutes governing the issue and sale of bonds of the unit.
(b) If the unit does not exercise the option to purchase at the expiration of the lease, the solid waste disposal facilities covered by the lease become the absolute property of the unit upon the unit's full discharge and performance of its obligations under the lease. The lessor corporation shall execute proper instruments conveying to the unit good and merchantable title to the facilities.
(c) If the unit does not exercise the option to purchase, then the board, subject to the approval of the fiscal body of the unit, may extend the lease of the solid waste disposal facility for the term, not to exceed a period equal to the term of the original lease, and for the consideration agreed to by the parties to the original lease or their assignees. At the end of the extension period, the facility covered by the lease becomes the absolute property of the unit, and the lessor corporation shall execute all proper instruments to convey the facility to the unit.
