When the legislative body deems it in the best interests of the local agency, it may authorize the issuance of notes, on a negotiated or a competitive bid basis, maturing within a period not to exceed two years, in anticipation of the sale of bonds duly authorized at the time such notes are issued. Such notes and the resolution providing for the issuance of such notes may contain any provision, condition or limitation which a bond, or any resolution or ordinance providing for the issuance of such bond, may contain. The proceeds from the sale of such notes shall be used only for the purposes for which the bonds were authorized.
