The acquisition, construction, reconstruction, improvement, betterment, or extension of any undertaking, and the issuance of bonds in anticipation of the collection of the revenues of such undertaking to provide funds to pay the cost thereof, may be authorized by an ordinance or resolution of the governing body adopted at any meeting thereof, after appropriate notice, by the affirmative vote of a majority of its members. The amount of such bonds so authorized, however, shall not exceed the amount authorized by the electors of the municipality as provided in this chapter. Unless otherwise provided in the ordinance or resolution, such ordinance or resolution shall take effect immediately and need not be laid over, published, or posted.
