• When they want to raise funds for a capital project by borrowing from investors via the issuance of municipal securities (Bonds, Notes)
• When they want to borrow the funds on a tax-exempt basis
• When the IRS authorizes the borrowing for the purpose of the project
• When state law authorizes the borrowing & there is a public purpose
