As more fully described above under "SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2025 <br />BONDS -- Covenant to Budget and Appropriate," the County has covenanted and agreed <br />in the Bond Resolution, subject to certain restrictions and limitations, to appropriate in its <br />annual budget, by amendment, if necessary, from Non -Ad Valorem Revenues amounts <br />sufficient to pay principal of and interest on the Series 2025 Bonds when due in the manner <br />and to the extent provided in the Bond Resolution and described herein. While the Holders <br />of the Series 2025 Bonds do not have a lien on any specific Non -Ad Valorem Revenues of <br />the County, the County may in the future issue obligations that are secured by and payable <br />from certain of the Non -Ad Valorem Revenues of the County. See "Other Non -Ad <br />Valorem Indebtedness" herein. The County's covenant and agreement to budget and <br />appropriate Non -Ad Valorem Revenues to pay the Series 2025 Bonds are subject to the <br />payment of those debt obligations that are secured by a pledge of any Non -Ad Valorem <br />Revenues. Additionally, as described under "SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2025 <br />BONDS -- Covenant to Budget and Appropriate," the County's covenant and agreement to <br />appropriate Non -Ad Valorem Revenues to pay the Series 2025 Bonds are also subject to <br />other conditions, including the payment of services and programs which are for essential <br />public purposes affecting the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the County or <br />which are mandated by applicable law, and the obligation of the County to have a balanced <br />budget. <br />The County utilizes fund accounting to demonstrate and ensure compliance with <br />legal, legislative, contractual, and other finance -related provisions. All of the County's <br />funds may be divided into three categories: governmental, proprietary and fiduciary funds. <br />Most of the Non -Ad Valorem Revenues that will be legally available to pay debt service <br />on the Series 2025 Bonds will be accounted for within the County's governmental funds, <br />the largest of which is the County's General Fund. The General Fund is the largest <br />operating fund of the County. Other significant funds within the governmental funds <br />include the Emergency Services District Fund, Optional Sales Tax Fund and the Impact <br />Fee Fund. See Management's Discussion and Analysis contained in "Appendix B — Annual <br />Comprehensive Financial Report for the Fiscal Year ended September 30, 2024" attached <br />hereto. <br />The revenues accounted for in the County's governmental funds can be categorized <br />into seven major categories: taxes, intergovernmental revenues, licenses, permits and fees, <br />charges for services, fines and forfeitures, interest and miscellaneous revenues. Using that <br />organization, the following describes major sources of the County's Non -Ad Valorem <br />Revenues that are accounted for within the County's governmental funds. CERTAIN OF <br />THE NON -AD VALOREM REVENUES DESCRIBED BELOW ARE NOT <br />LEGALLY AVAILABLE TO PAY DEBT SERVICE ON THE SERIES 2025 <br />BONDS. HOWEVER, SUCH NON -AD VALOREM REVENUES MAY BE <br />AVAILABLE TO PAY FOR VARIOUS GOVERNMENTAL SERVICES AND <br />PROGRAMS AND MAY BE AVAILABLE TO PAY DEBT SERVICE ON OTHER <br />18 <br />
