In our capacity as Bond Counsel we have reviewed the

Re: $ Indian River County, Florida, Recreational
Revenue Bonds, Series 1991
Gentlemen:
This letter is being delivered to you pursuant to Paragraph
8(F) (4) of the Bond Purchase Agreement dated July 23, 1991 (the
"Bond Purchase Agreement") between William R. Hough & Co. (the
"Underwriter") and the Board of County Commissioners of Indian
River County,Florida (the "Issuer"), relating to the issuance and
sale by the Issuer of the above -referenced bond issue (the
"Bonds"). Terms defined in the Bond Purchase Agreement are used
in this letter with the meanings assigned to them in the Bond
Purchase Agreement.
We have acted as your counsel in connection with the sale of
the Bonds to you, and in that capacity, have examined the executed
counterparts of the Bond Purchase Agreement and the Resolution.
We have also examined the originals or copies, certified or otherwise
identified to our satisfaction, of such other documents, records
and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable
for purposes of this letter.
It is our opinion that:
1. Under existing laws, the Bonds may be offered and sold
without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
based upon the provisions of Section 3(a)(2) of such Act.
2. The Resolution is not required to be qualified under the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, based upon the provisions
of Section 304(a)(4) of such Act.
3. The requirements contained in the Bond Purchase Agreement
which are conditions precedent to the obligation of the Underwriters
to accept and pay for the Bonds have been met, except as such
requirements have been modified or waived by the Underwriter,
such modification or waiver evidenced by the Underwriter's payment
for the Bonds.
4. Without having undertaken to determine independently the
accuracy or completeness of the statements contained in the Official
Statement, but on the basis of our conferences with the County
Administrator and other representatives of the Issuer, counsel to
the Issuer, Bond Counsel, the Issuer's Financial Advisor and the
Underwriter and our examination of certain documents referred to
in the Official Statement, nothing has come to our attention
which would lead us to believe that the Official Statement (other
than information received from the Insurer and other than
financial statements and other financial or statistical data
contained therein and the information contained in the appendices,
as to which we express no opinion) as of its date and as of the
date hereof, contained or contains any untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make

Board of County Commissioners

William R. Hough & Co.
St. Petersburg, Florida
Gentlemen:
This opinion has been requested of the undersigned, a Vice
President and an Assistant General Counsel of AMBAC Indemnity
Corporation, a Wisconsin stock insurance company ("AMBAC Indemnity"),
in connection with the issuance by AMBAC Indemnity of a certain
Municipal Bond Insurance Policy, effective as of the date hereof
(the "Policy"), insuring $ in aggregate principal
amount of the Indian River County, Florida (the "Issuer"),
Recreational Revenue Bonds, Series 1991, dated August 1, 1991
(the "Bonds").
In connection with my opinion herein, I have examined the
Policy, such statutes, documents and proceedings as I have
considered necessary or appropriate in the circumstances to
render the following opinion, including, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, certain statements contained in the
Official Statement of the Issuer dated July , 1991, relating
to the Bonds (the "Official Statement") under the heading
"MUNICIPAL BOND INSURANCE" and "RATINGS".
Based upon the foregoing and having regard to legal
considerations I deem relevant, I am of the opinion that:
1. AMBAC Indemnity is a stock insurance company duly
organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of
Wisconsin and duly qualified to conduct an insurance business in
the State of Florida.
2. AMBAC Indemnity has full corporate power and authority
to execute and deliver the Policy and the Policy has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by AMBAC Indemnity and
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of AMBAC
Indemnity enforceable in accordance with its terms except to the
extent that the enforceability (but not the validity) of such
obligation may be limited by any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
liquidation, rehabilitation or other similar law or enactment now
or hereafter enacted affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights.
3. The execution and delivery by AMBAC Indemnity of the
Policy will not, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated thereby and the satisfaction of the terms thereof
will not, conflict with or result in a breach of any of the
terms, conditions or provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation
or By -Laws of AMBAC Indemnity, or any restriction contained in
any contract, agreement or instrument to which AMBAC Indemnity is
a party or by which it is bound or constitute a default under any
of the foregoing.
4. Proceedings legally required for the issuance of the
Policy have been taken by AMBAC Indemnity and licenses, orders,
consents or other authorizations or approvals of any governmental
boards or bodies legally required for the enforceability of the
Policy have been obtained; any proceedings not taken and any
licenses, authorizations or approvals not obtained are not
material to the enforceability of the Policy.
5. The statements contained in the Official Statement
under the heading "MUNICIPAL BOND INSURANCE" insofar as such
statements constitute summaries of the matters referred to
therein, accurately reflect and fairly present the information
purported to be shown and, insofar as such statements describe
AMBAC Indemnity, fairly and accurately describe AMBAC Indemnity.
6. The form of Policy contained in the Official Statement
as Appendix F thereto is a true and complete copy of the form of
Policy.

In the Opinion of Bond Counsel, assuming continuing compliance by the County with certain covenants to comply with provisions
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. as amended, interest on the Series 1991 Bonds is excluded from gross income for purposes of
federal income laxation and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on
individuals and corporations under existing statutes, regulations and judicial decisions; although it should be noted that in the case of
corporations (as defined for federal income tax purposes), such interest is taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings
for purposes of such alternative minimum tax. Furthermore. in the Opinion of Bond Counsel, the Series 1991 Bonds and the income
therefrom are exempt from taxation under the laws of the State of Florida, except as to estate taxes and taxes imposed by Chapter 220.

Sales Tax Bonds and any additional bonds issued on a parity with
the Senior Half -Cent Sales Tax Bonds pursuant to the resolution
which authorized the issuance of the Senior Half -Cent Sales Tax
Bonds (the "Half -Cent Sales Tax Resolution"). See "THE PARITY

6
-f u/ -l0_20►
any constitutional or statutory limitation of indebtedness, but
shall be payable from and secured by a lien upon and a pledge of
the Pledged Funds and the Half -Cent Sales Tax. No holder of the
Series 1991 Bonds shall ever have the right to compel the levy of
ad valorem taxes to pay principal of, redemption premium, if any,
and interest on the Series 1991 Bonds. The Series 1991 Bonds
shall not constitute a lien upon any other property of the
County, but shall constitute a lien only upon the Pledged Funds
and the Half -Cent Sales Tax.
Rate Covenant
The County will, to the extent practicable, fix, establish,
revise from time to time whenever necessary, maintain and collect
always such fees, rates, rentals and other charges for the use of
the services of the Project which will always provide Gross
Revenues in each year sufficient to pay, and out of such funds
pay, 100% of all Costs of Operation and Maintenance in such year,
all Bond Service Requirements becoming due in such year on the
outstanding Bonds and all reserve or other payments required by
the Resolution.
Reserve Account
Under the Resolution, the County is required to establish a
Reserve Account. The Reserve Account is required to be funded in
an amount equal to the Reserve Account Requirement. The County
may provide for this deposit to the Reserve Account either from
the proceeds of the sale of Bonds, from other available moneys of
the County and/or by providing an insurance policy or a letter of
credit meeting the quality of credit criteria required by the
Resolution.
The Reserve Account Requirement for each series of Bonds is
the amount determined by resolution of the County on or prior to
the sale of the applicable series of Bonds. The County has
established a Reserve Account Requirement of $ 2/ Y' ' for the
Series 1991 Bonds, which amount the County will deposit into the
Reserve Account upon delivery of the Series 1991 Bonds.
Money in the Reserve Account shall be used only for the
purpose of the payment of maturing principal of or interest on
the Series 1991 Bonds and maturing Amortization Installments on
Term Bonds, if any, when the other money in the Sinking Fund is
insufficient therefor, and for no other purpose.
Kunicipal Bond Insurance

MUNICIPAL BOND INSURANCE
Payment Pursuant to Municipal Bond Insurance Policy
AMBAC Indemnity Corporation (the "Insurer") has made a
commitment to issue a municipal bond insurance policy (the
"Municipal Bond Insurance Policy") relating to the Series 1991
Bonds effective as of the date of issuance of the Series 1991
Bonds. Under the terms of the Municipal Bond Insurance Policy,
AMBAC Indemnity will pay to the United States Trust Company of
New York, in New York, New York or any successor thereto (the
"Insurance Trustee") that portion of the principal of and

interest on the Series 1991 Bonds which shall become Due for
Payment but shall be unpaid by reason of Nonpayment by the Issuer
(as such terms are defined in the Municipal Bond Insurance
Policy). AMBAC Indemnity will make such payments to the Insurance
Trustee on the later of the date on which such principal and
interest becomes Due for Payment or within one business day
following the date on which AMBAC Indemnity shall have received
notice of Nonpayment from the Paying Agent. The insurance will
extend for the term of the Series 1991 Bonds and, once issued,
cannot be cancelled by AMBAC Indemnity.
The Municipal Bond Insurance Policy will insure payment only
on stated maturity dates and on mandatory sinking fund installment
dates, in the case of principal, and on stated dates for payment,
in the case of interest. If the Series 1991 Bonds become subject
to mandatory redemption and insufficient funds are available for
redemption of all outstanding Series 1991 Bonds, AMBAC Indemnity
will remain obligated to pay principal of and interest on
outstanding Series 1991 Bonds on the originally scheduled
interest and principal payment dates including mandatory sinking
fund redemption dates. In the event of any acceleration of the
principal of the Series 1991 Bonds, the insured payments will be
made at such times and in such amounts as would have been made
had there not been an acceleration.
In the event the Paying Agent has notice that any payment of
principal of or interest on a Series 1991 Bond which has become
Due for Payment and which is made to a Bondholder by or on behalf
of the Issuer has been deemed a preferential transfer and theretofore
recovered from its registered owner pursuant to the United States
Bankruptcy Code in accordance with a final, nonappealable order
of a court of competent jurisdiction, such registered owner will
be entitled to payment from AMBAC Indemnity to the extent of such
recovery if sufficient funds are not otherwise available.
The Municipal Bond Insurance Policy does not insure any risk
other than Nonpayment, as defined in the Policy. Specifically, the
Municipal Bond Insurance Policy does not cover:
1. payment on acceleration, as a result of a call for
redemption (other than mandatory sinking fund redemption)
or as a result of any other advancement of maturity.
2. payment of any redemption, prepayment or acceleration
premium.
3. nonpayment of principal or interest caused by the insolvency
or negligence of any Trustee or Paying Agent, if any.
If it becomes necessary to call upon the Municipal Bond Insurance
Policy, payment of principal requires surrender of the Series
1991 Bonds to the Insurance Trustee together with an appropriate
9
instrument of assignment so as to permit ownership of such Series
1991 Bonds to be registered in the name of AMBAC Indemnity to the
extent of the payment under the Municipal Bond Insurance Policy.
Payment of interest pursuant to the Municipal Bond Insurance Policy
requires proof of Bondholder entitlement to interest payments and
an appropriate assignment of the Bondholder's right to payment to
AMBAC Indemnity.
Upon payment of the insurance benefits, AMBAC Indemnity will
become the owner of the Series 1991 Bond, appurtenant coupon, if
any, or right to payment of principal or interest on such Series
1991 Bond and will be fully subrogated to the surrendering
Bondholder's rights to payment.
AMBAC Indemnity Corporation
AMBAC Indemnity Corporation ("AMBAC Indemnity") is a Wisconsin -
domiciled stock insurance company, regulated by the Insurance
Department of the State of Wisconsin and licensed to do business
in 50 states and the District of Columbia, with admitted assets
of approximately $1,259,700,000 (unaudited) and statutory capital
of approximately $752,200,000 (unaudited) as of March 31, 1991.
Statutory capital consists of AMBAC Indemnity's policyholders'
surplus and statutory contingency reserve. AMBAC Indemnity is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Citicorp Financial Guaranty Holdings,
Inc. (Holdings") (formerly known as AMBAC, Inc.), a financial
holding company and itself a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citibank,
N.A. ("Citibank").
On May 1, 1991, AMBAC, Inc. ("AMBAC, Inc."), a financial
holding company recently formed by Holdings, registered for sale
with the Security and Exchange Commission 17,600,000 shares of
its common stock. If the sale is completed, Citibank, through
its affiliate Holdings, is expected to own approximately 49% of
the total equity of AMBAC, Inc., with a right to cast 20% of the
total number of votes of all shares of outstanding common stock
of AMBAC, Inc. until such time as Citibank, including its
affiliates, reduces its equity ownership to less than 25% of
AMBAC, Inc. (at which time the shares owned by it become non-
voting). Prior to the consummation of the proposed sale of
common stock, AMBAC Indemnity will become a direct wholly owned
subsidiary of AMBAC, Inc. The Wisconsin Insurance Department has
stated that the sale of common stock described herein does not
require its prior approval. Both Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
and Standard & Poor's Corporation have reaffirmed that the
proposed sale of the common stock of AMBAC, Inc. will not affect
AMBAC Indemnity's triple-A claims -paying ability ratings.
Copies of AMBAC Indemnity's financial statements prepared in
accordance with statutory accounting standards are available from
AMBAC Indemnity. The address of AMBAC Indemnity's administrative
10
offices and its telephone number are One State Street Plaza, 17th
Floor, New York, New York, 10004 and (212) 668-0340.
AMBAC Indemnity has entered into pro rata reinsurance agreements
under which a percentage of the insurance underwritten pursuant to
certain municipal bond insurance programs of AMBAC Indemnity has
been and will be assumed by a number of foreign and domestic
unaffiliated reinsurers.
AMBAC Indemnity has obtained a ruling from the Internal Revenue
Service to the effect that the insuring of an obligation by AMBAC
Indemnity will not affect the treatment for federal income tax
purposes of interest on such obligation and that insurance proceeds
representing maturing interest paid by AMBAC Indemnity under policy
provisions substantially identical to those contained in its municipal
bond insurance policy shall be treated for federal income tax
purposes in the same manner as if such payments were made by the
issuer of the Bonds.
AMBAC Indemnity makes no representation regarding the Series
1991 Bonds or the advisability of investing in the Series 1991 Bonds
and makes no representation regarding, nor has it participated in
the preparation of, the Official Statement other than the
information supplied by AMBAC Indemnity and presented under the
heading "MUNICIPAL BOND INSURANCE".
Moody's Investors Service rates all bond issues insured by
AMBAC Indemnity "Aaa" and short term loans "MIG -1", both designated
to be of the highest quality.
Standard & Poor's Corporation rates all new issues insured
by AMBAC Indemnity "AAA" Prime Grade.
The Moody's Investors Service rating of AMBAC Indemnity
should be evaluated independently of the Standard & Poor's
Corporation rating of AMBAC Indemnity. No application has been
made to any other rating agency in order to obtain additional
ratings on the Series 1991 Bonds. The ratings reflect the
respective rating agency's current assessment of the creditworthiness
of AMBAC Indemnity and its ability to pay claims on its policies
of insurance. Any further explanation as to the significance of
the above ratings may be obtained only from the applicable rating
agency.
The above ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or
hold the Series 1991 Bonds, such ratings may be subject to
revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating agencies. Any
downward revision or withdrawal of either or both ratings may
have an adverse effect on the market price of the Series 1991 Bonds.
The insurance provided by the Municipal Bond Insurance
11
Policy is not covered by the Florida Insurance Guaranty Association
created under Chapter 631, Florida Statutes.
The information relating to AMBAC Indemnity contained above
has been furnished by AMBAC Indemnity and neither the County nor
the Underwriter have undertaken any independent investigation of
the operations of AMBAC Indemnity. No representation is made
herein as to the accuracy or adequacy of such information or as
to the absence of material adverse changes in such information
subsequent to the date hereof. The County and the Underwriter
make no representation as the ability of AMBAC Indemnity to make
payments under the Municipal Bond Insurance Policy. See "APPENDIX
D - SPECIMEN MUNICIPAL BOND INSURANCE POLICY". A Statement of
Insurance relating to the Municipal Bond Insurance Policy will be
printed on the Series 1991 Bonds.
THE PARITY BONDS
The County issued its $2,720,000 Recreational Revenue Bonds,
Series 1985 (the "Parity Bonds"), in April of 1986, pursuant to
the Resolution, to construct and equip an eighteen hole public
golf course and related clubhouse facilities to be owned and
operated by the County. The Parity Bonds are presently outstanding
in the aggregate principal amount of $2,720,000, with a final
maturity date of September 1, 2015. The Parity Bonds are secured
by a lien on and pledge of the Pledged Funds on a parity with the
lien and pledge of such revenues in favor of the holders of the
Series 1991 Bonds.
THE SENIOR HALF -CENT SALES TAX BONDS
The County issued its $9,855,000 Refunding and Improvement
Revenue Bonds, 1985 Series in November of 1985 and its $3,655,000
Capital Improvement Revenue Bonds, 1987 Series in July of 1987
(collectively, the "Senior Half -Cent Sales Tax Bonds"), to
finance or refinance certain capital improvements in the County.
The Senior Half -Cent Sales Tax Bonds are presently outstanding in
the aggregate principal amount of $11,865,000, with a final
maturity date in 2005. The Senior Half -Cent Sales Tax Bonds are
secured by a lien on and pledge of the Half -Cent Sales Tax which
is prior and superior to the lien and pledge of the holders of
the Series 1991 Bonds and the Parity Bonds.
In the Resolution, the County has covenanted not to issue
additional bonds on a parity with the Senior Half -Cent Sales Tax
Bonds (except for refunding bonds) unless the Half -Cent Sales Tax
receipts and Racetrack and Jai Alai Fronton Funds for either the
immediately preceding Fiscal Year or any twelve consecutive
months of the eighteen months immediately preceding the date of
sale of such additional bonds are equal to at least 1.35 times
the maximum debt service requirement on the Senior Half -Cent
Sales Tax Bonds, the Series 1991 Bonds, the Parity Bonds, and
12
Additional Parity Obligations at the time outstanding, and the
additional bonds proposed to be issued. See the caption "HALF -

TEE PROJECT
The Existing Facility
The Sandridge Golf Course is currently an 18 hole public golf
course and has related facilities located at 5300 73rd Street in
the unincorporated north central part of Indian River County.
Because the golf course is adjacent to a sand ridge that runs
through central Indian River County, the golf course has more
changes in elevation than the typical Florida course. Sandridge
was one of only fifty golf facilities to receive the National
Golf Foundation's Inaugural Public Golf Achievement Award for 1990.
The golf course currently has 28 full time and 10 part time
employees, all under the supervision of golf course professional
and director Robert J. Komarinetz. Mr. Komarinetz has managed the
golf course since September of 1986 and has been a professional
golfer and golf course manager since 1966.

In addition there are 10 private golf courses in Indian River
County that are not available for play by the general public.
The 1991 Project
The 1991 Project will consist of the construction of an
additional 18 holes to the Sandridge Golf Course, and construction
of a permanent 7,000 square foot clubhouse, a golf cart building
and a maintenance building. The golf course portion of the 1991
Project is being designed by Links Design, Inc., which designed
the original 18 holes. The President of Links Design, Inc. is
Ronald M. Garl, and he and his company have designed over 125
golf courses, 76 of which are in the State of Florida. According
to the most recent annual report in "Florida Golfer", seven of
Florida's top 60 golf courses were designed by Ron Garl. Kimley-
Horn and Associates, Inc. is the project engineer for the golf
course portion of the 1991 Project. The clubhouse, golf course
building and maintenance building are being designed by C. E.
Block, a Vero Beach based architect.
The golf course construction at the new 18 holes at Sandridge
will generally involve the following: (1) clearing, (2) lake
excavation, (3) shaping of golf course features, (4) installation
of irrigation system, and (5) grassing of the golf course.
The new 18 holes at Sandridge will present a par 72 golf
course 6,250 yards in length, with a challenging, diverse golf course
design. With the strategic location of hazards and bunkers,
multiple tee placement, and the incorporation of wetlands and
native vegetation, this new course will challenge all levels of
ability. The course will promote shot value and a playable
balance (appropriate mix of hole distances) which should test
every club in a player's bag. Today, a more sophisticated public
golfer is looking for new courses having the quality and distinction
of Sandridge, and the new 18 holes will certainly add to the
unique golfing experience already found at Sandridge.

RACETRACK AND JAI ALAI FRONTON FONDS
Tames on Pari -Mutual Wagering
Chapters 550 and 551, Florida Statutes, provide for the levy,
collection and distribution of taxes based upon a percentage of the
total wagering through the pari-mutuel operated pools on every horse
and dog track and jai alai fronton in the State and on every race or
game at such tracks or frontons and, also, a 15% tax (or ten cents,
if greater) on entrance gate admissions charged for such races or
games. The Division of Pari-mutuel Wagering of the Florida
Department of Business Regulation (the "Division") supervises all
pari-mutuel wagering throughout the State.
The State receives as a tax on all horse racing performances an
amount equal to 3.3% of the "handle" in excess of $300,000 for each
performance per day with certain exceptions. "Handle" is defined as
the aggregate of contributions to all pari-mutuel pools on races
conducted by the permit holder. The State also receives (i) as a tax
on dog racing, an amount equal to 7.6% of the handle in excess of
$25,000 for each performance per day with certain exceptions, and (ii)
as a tax on all jai alai fronton performances, an amount equal to 7.1%
of the handle in excess of $25,000 for each performance per day with
certain exceptions. In addition to the foregoing taxes, the State
receives, as a tax, an amount equal to the "breaks" from each permit
holder conducting dog racing and jai alai performances. "Breaks"
represent that portion of each pari-mutuel pool which is not
redistributed to the wagering public or withheld by the track.
All amounts received by the State as admission tax, tax on the
handle, and tax on the breaks are deposited with the State Treasurer;
one-half (1/2) of that amount is credited to the Pari-mutuel Wagering
Trust Fund, and the remaining half is credited to the General
Revenue Fund.
All amounts received from occupational licenses from those persons
connected with a racetrack, administrative fines and penalties, and
other miscellaneous receipts associated with pari-mutuel activity are
also credited to the Pari-mutuel Wagering Trust Fund.
All moneys deposited to the credit of the Pari-mutuel Wagering
Trust Fund shall be distributed in the following manner:
(1) In each fiscal year, the sum of $29,915,500 is divided
into as many equal parts as there are counties in the State of
Florida (67) and one part is distributed to each county; any
excess of such moneys is transferred to the General Revenue Fund.
(2) If the sum available for distribution in the Pari-
mutuel WageringTrust Fund is less than $29,915,500, the deficiency
shall be paid into the Pari-mutuel Wagering Trust Fund from the
20
General Revenue Fund up to the amount of the deficiency if the
deficiency does not exceed the deposits of pari-mutuel tax
collections to the General Revenue Fund for that particular fiscal
year.
(3) Distributions to the counties commence each fiscal year
on or before January 5th and continue monthly for a total of four
months. If on April Sth the sums distributed to the counties
do not equal the maximum sum to be distributed, then the Division
shall immediately transfer to the Pari-mutuel wagering Trust Fund
from the General Revenue Fund in the manner stated above, the
sums required to pay each county the sum to which it is entitled.
(4) After payments to the counties have been completed as
described above, all unappropriated funds in the Pari-mutuel
Wagering Trust Fund shall be deposited to the credit of the
General Revenue Fund.
Right of Cancellation by Voters
A permit to operate a horse track, dog track or jai alai fronton
in any county is subject to cancellation by the voters of that
county. Section 550.18, Florida Statutes, provides that:
Upon petition of twenty percent of the qualified electors
of any county wherein any racing has been licensed and
conducted . . . the county commissioners of such county shall
provide for the submission to the electors of such county at
the then next succeeding general election the question of
whether any permit or permits theretofore granted shall be
continued or revoked, and if a majority of the electors voting
on such question in such election shall vote to cancel or
recall the permit theretofore given, then the division of
pari-mutuel wagering shall not thereafter grant any license on
the permit so recalled.
Chapter 551, Florida Statutes, subjects a permit to operate a jai alai
fronton to the same conditions as a permit to operate a dog or
horse track.
History of Total Revenues and Distributions
The following table shows a ten year history (1981-1990) of pari-
mutuel revenues and the manner in which they have been distributed.

RALF-CENT BALES TAX
Pursuant to Chapter 212, Florida Statutes, the State of
Florida is authorized to levy and collect a 6% sales tax on,
among other things, the sales price of each item or article of
tangible personal property sold at retail in the State of
Florida, subject to certain exceptions and dealer allowances.
Part VI, Chapter 218, Florida Statutes, as amended (the "Sales Tax
Act"), currently provides that 9.888% of the proceeds remitted to
the State of Florida by a sales tax dealer located within a
particular county (the "Half -Cent Sales Tax") is required to be
deposited in the Local Government Half -Cent Sales Tax Clearing
Trust Fund in the State Treasury (the "Half -Cent Sales Tax Trust
Fund") and is ear -marked for distribution to the governing body
of such county and of each participating municipality within that
county pursuant to a distribution formula. The Half -Cent Sales
Tax is distributed from the Trust Fund on a monthly basis to
participating units of local government in accordance with the
Half -Cent Sales Tax Act.
The Half -Cent Sales Tax collected within a county is
distributed to the governing body of each county and to participating
municipalities within each such county in accordance with the
following formula:
County's Share
(percentage of
total Half -Cent
Sales Tax receipts)
Each Municipality's
Share (percentage of =
total Half -Cent Sales
Tax receipts)
unincorporated
area population
total County
population
2/3 incorporated
+ area population
2/3 incorporated
+ area population
municipality
total County
population +
population
2/3 incorporated
area population
The formula is revised each year based upon the population
estimates prepared by the University of Florida, Bureau of
Economic and Business Research.
Because distribution of the Half -Cent Sales Tax is based on
the population of unincorporated areas within the County relative
to the population of incorporated municipalities within the
County, the County's share of the Half -Cent Sales Tax would be
reduced if unincorporated areas of the County were to be annexed
by an existing municipality within the County or if unincorporated
areas of the County were to become incorporated municipalities.
23
The County has complied with all of the requirements set
forth in the Half -Cent Sales Tax Act for the current fiscal year,
including the filing of a certificate of compliance with the
State Department of Revenue, which is necessary in order for the
County to receive its portion of funds from the Half -Cent Sales
Tax Trust Fund during the 1990-1991 fiscal year.

VALIDATION
The Series 1991 Bonds were validated in a total amount not
to exceed $6,500,000 by a Final Judgment of the Circuit Court of
the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit of Florida, in and for Indian River
County, rendered on July 17, 1991. The time for an appeal will
expire on August 16, 1991. The Series 1991 Bonds will not be
issued if an appeal is pending on the proposed closing date.
LITIGATION
In the opinion of the County Attorney there is no controversy
or litigation now pending or, to the best of the County's knowledge,
threatened, which seeks to restrain or enjoin the execution,
issuance, sale or delivery of the Series 1991 Bonds or that in any
way contests the validity of the Series 1991 Bonds; or any
proceedings of the County taken with respect to the authorization,
sale, or issuance of the Series 1991 Bonds, or the imposition of
the rates, fees and charges for the use of the Project, or the
pledge or application of any monies provided for the payment of
or security for the Series 1991 Bonds.
RATINGS
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's
Corporation have assigned their municipal bond ratings of "Aaa"
and "AAA", respectively, to the Series 1991 Bonds with the
understanding that upon delivery of the Series 1991 Bonds, a
policy of municipal bond insurance insuring the payment when due
of principal of and interest on the Series 1991 Bonds will be issued
by AMBAC Indemnity. Such ratings reflect only the views of the
rating agencies, and an explanation of the significance of such
ratings may be obtained from the applicable rating agency. There

to the approval of Rhoads & Sinon, Boca Raton, Florida, Bond
Counsel, whose approving opinion in substantially the form
attached hereto as APPENDIX E will be printed on all of the Series

participated in the preparation of, and has reviewed those
portions of this Official Statement contained under the captions
"DESCRIPTION OF THE SERIES 1991 BONDS," "SECURITY FOR THE SERIES
1991 BONDS," "APPROVAL OF LEGALITY," "TAX EXEMPTION," and the
"SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION" contained in

the Series 1991 Bonds, the Resolution and the tax-exempt status
of the Series 1991 Bonds. The firm has not been retained to pass

contained in this Official Statement or that may be made available
to prospective purchasers of the Series 1991 Bonds. Certain
legal matters will be passed upon for the County by the County
Attorney, Charles P. Vitunac, Vero Beach, Florida, and for the
Underwriter by its counsel, Boose Casey Ciklin Lubitz Martens
McBane & O'Connell, West Palm Beach, Florida.
TAX EXEMPTION
Opinion of Bond Counsel
In the opinion of Rhoads & Sinon, Boca Raton, Florida, Bond
Counsel, assuming continuing compliance by the County with
certain covenants to comply with provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), to preserve the
exclusion of interest on the Series 1991 Bonds from gross income
for federal income tax purposes, interest on the Series 1991
Bonds is excluded from gross income for purposes of federal
income taxation and is not an item of tax preference for purposes
of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and
corporations, under existing statutes, regulations and judicial
decisions; although it should be noted that in the case of
corporations (as defined for federal income tax purposes), such
interest is taken into account in determining adjusted current
27
earnings for purposes of such alternative minimum tax. Bond
Counsel expresses no other opinion with regard to federal income
tax consequences arising with respect to the Series 1991 Bonds.
The Series 1991 Bonds and the income therefrom are exempt
from taxation under the laws of the State of Florida, except as
to estate taxes and taxes imposed by Chapter 220, Florida
Statutes, on interest, income or profits on debt obligations
owned by corporations, banks, and saving associations.
Non -Arbitrage Bonds
The County will issue its certificate to the effect that on
the basis of the facts, estimates and circumstances in existence
on the date of delivery of the Series 1991 Bonds, it is not
expected that proceeds of the Series 1991 Bonds will be used in a
manner that would cause the Series 1991 Bonds to be "arbitrage
bonds". Such certificate will be accompanied by an opinion of
Bond Counsel, based upon the facts, estimates and circumstances
set forth in said certificate, that the Series 1991 Bonds are not
currently "arbitrage bonds," under existing statutes, regulations
and decisions.
The County has also covenanted in the Resolution with the
purchasers of the Series 1991 Bonds that it will make no use of
the proceeds of the Series 1991 Bonds which will cause the Series
1991 Bonds to become "arbitrage bonds," and has further covenanted
in the Resolution to comply with the requirements of Section 103
and 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and
regulations promulgated thereunder from time to time, during the
term of the Series 1991 Bonds, if and to the extent applicable to
maintain continuously the exclusion of interest on the Series
1991 Bonds from gross income for Federal income tax purposes.
Corporate Alternative Minimum Taxes; Environmental Tax; Branch
Profits Tax
Interest on the Series 1991 Bonds may be includable in a
corporation's "adjusted net book income" upon which alternative
minimum taxable income is calculated and such interest may also
be included in corporate alternative minimum taxable income that
is subject to the environmental tax imposed under Section 59A of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). In
addition, such interest may be includable in the amount upon
which certain foreign corporations are required to pay the branch
profits tax imposed under Section 884 of the Code. Prospective
28
corporate purchasers of the Series 1991 Bonds should consult
their professional tax advisors concerning the potential impact
of receipt of interest income on such bonds upon their Federal
tax liability.
Financial Institutions' Costa of Carrying Tax-Exempt Bonds
Under the Code, financial institutions are denied 100
percent of the interest expense deduction that is allocable, by
formula, to the carrying of tax-exempt obligations acquired after
August 7, 1986; the former provision of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1954, which provided for a 20 percent disallowance of the
interest expense deduction, continues to apply with respect to
tax-exempt obligations acquired on or before August 7, 1986, as
well as to new issues specifically designated as "qualified tax-
exempt obligations" under Section 265 of the Code.
The Series 1991 Bonds have not been designated by the County
as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for the purposes of Section
265 of the Code. (� /Ae
yers
Original Issue Discount "5"173v4e'- /,71Y1 S7.'9.1e 4w- / 62/'‘
In the opinion • Bond Counsel, under existing law, the
original issue discount in the selling price of each Series 1991
Bonds maturing en- , to the extent properly allocable to
each holder of such Series 1991 Bond, will be excluded from gross
income for federal income tax purposes with respect to such
holder. The original issue discount is the excess of the stated
redemption price at maturity of such Series 1991 Bonds over the
initial offering price to the public, excluding underwriters and
other intermediaries, at which price a substantial amount of such
Bonds were sold.
Under section 1288 of the Code, original issue discount on
tax-exempt bonds accrues on a compound basis. The amount of
original issue discount that accrues to a holder of a Series 1991
Bond who acquires the Series 1991 Bond in this offering during
any accrual period generally equals (i) the issue price of such
Series 1991 Bond plus the amount of original issue discount
accrued in all prior accrual periods, multiplied by (ii) the
yield to maturity of such Series 1991 Bond (determined on the
basis of compounding at the close of each accrual period and
properly adjusted for the length of the accrual period), less
(iii) any interest payable on such Series 1991 Bond during such
accrual period. The amount of original issue discount so accrued
29
in a particular accrual period will be considered to be received
ratably on each day of the accrual period, will be excluded from
gross income for federal income tax purposes, and will increase
the holder's tax basis in such Series 1991 Bond. Any gain
realized by a holder from a sale, exchange, payment or redemption
of a Series 1991 Bond would be treated as gain from the sale or
exchange of such Series 1991 Bond.
Other Federal Income Tax Consequences
Ownership of the Series 1991 Bonds may also result in other
Federal income tax consequences to certain taxpayers, including,
but not limited to, financial institutions, property and casualty
insurance companies, certain subchapter S corporation with
substantial passive income and subchapter C earnings and profits,
individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement
benefits and taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or
continued indebtedness to purchase or carry the bonds. No
opinion or representation concerning these matters is being given
or made by the County, Bond Counsel or any other party associated
with issuance, offering or sale of the Series 1991 Bonds.
Prospective purchasers of the Series 1991 Bonds should consult
their own tax advisors concerning these matters.
UNDERWRITING
William R. Hough & Co. (the "Underwriter") has agreed, subject
to certain conditions, to purchase the Series 1991 Bonds from the
County at an aggregate discount of $/7,fs4f 5-9,5from the initial
public offering prices set forth on the cover page of this Official
Statement. This discount includes an original issue discount of
$ C5#5. ,'S . The Underwriter's obligation is subject to certain
conditions precedent, and it will be obligated to purchase all the
Series 1991 Bonds if any Series 1991 Bonds are purchased. The
Series 1991 Bonds may be offered and sold to certain dealers
(including dealers depositing such Series 1991 Bonds into investment
trusts) at prices lower than such public offering prices, and such
public offering prices may be changed, from time to time, by the
Underwriter.

The economy of the County is based upon agriculture (citrus
and cattle), tourism, light manufacturing, wholesale and retail
trade and commercial fishing. In the 1989-1990 crop year Indian

4th among all Florida counties in total citrus production, but
2nd in grapefruit production. Part of the citrus fruit is sold to
the fresh fruit market, and there are also 21 major packing
houses and one citrus juice processing plant located in the
County. Approximately 50,000 acres of improved pasture and rangelands
are utilized for dairy farming and beef cattle production, while
approximately 35,000 acres remain as forest and woodlands.

Report of Independent Accountants
The Honorable County Commissioners and
Constitutional Officers
Indian River County, Florida
APPENDIX B
We have audited the accompanying general purpose financial statements of Indian
River County, Florida as of September 30, 1990, and for the year then ended, on
pages 2 through 52. These general purpose financial statements are the respon-
sibility of the County's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these general purpose financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
and Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the
United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial state-
ments are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the general purpose
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting princi-
ples used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall general purpose financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the general purpose financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Indian River
County, Florida at September 30, 1990, and the results of its operations and the
changes in financial position of its proprietary fund types for the year then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Year Ended September 30, 1990
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Indian River County, Florida (the "County") is a political subdivision of the State
of Florida. It is governed by an elected Board of County Commissioners (the
"Board") which is governed by state statutes and regulations. In addition to the
members of the Board, there are five elected Constitutional Officers: Clerk of the
Circuit Court, Sheriff, Tax Collector, Property Appraiser, and Supervisor of
Elections. The Constitutional Officers maintain separate accounting records and
budgets.
The accompanying financial statements present the combined financial position and
combined results of operations of the various fund types and account groups and the
changes in financial position of the proprietary fund types for the funds controlled
by the Board and the County's Constitutional Officers.
The Board funds a portion or, in certain instances, all of the operating budgets of
the County's Constitutional Officers. The payments by the Board to fund the opera-
tions of the Constitutional Officers are recorded as operating transfers out on the
financial statements of the Board and as operating transfers in or charges for
services on the financial statements of the Constitutional Officers. Accordingly,
such amounts and the budget relating to those amounts have been eliminated in the
accompanying combined financial statements.
The accounting policies of the County conform to generally accepted accounting
principles, as applicable to governments. The following is a summary of the more
significant policies.
A. Reporting Entity - Generally accepted accounting principles require that finan-
cial operations of governmental departments, agencies, commissions or authori-
ties over which the governmental unit's elected officials have oversight respon-
sibility be included in the reporting entity's financial statements.
Criteria used to determine if an agency should be included in the County's
report were the oversight responsibility and the scope of public service.
Oversight responsibility implies that an agency is dependent on another. The
manifestations of oversight responsibility are financial interdependency,
selection of governing authority, designation of management, ability to
significantly influence operations, and accountability for fiscal matters. The
manifestations of scope of public service are whether the activity is for the
benefit of the reporting entity and/or its residents and whether the activity is
conducted within the geographic boundaries of the reporting entity and is
generally available to the citizens of that entity.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
Year Ended September 30, 1990
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:
A. Reporting Entity - Continued - Applying the criteria above has caused the
inclusion of the following entities:
Indian River County Housing Authority (IRCHA) - The IRCHA was included in the
report because the Board provides the primary funding for the operations of the
IRCHA. The Board maintains budgetary control over the operating costs of the
IRCHA. In addition, they provide use of certain furniture and equipment to the
IRCHA at no charge. Due to the proprietary nature of the IRCHA's operations,
the IRCHA is reported as an enterprise fund. For budgetary control, the Board
maintains a Special Revenue Fund to account for the operating costs of the
IRCHA. Funding is provided from operating transfers from the Board's General
Fund and operating grants received from the State of Florida. Since the oper-
ating costs of IRCHA have been properly reported in the enterprise fund, the
Special Revenue Fund has been eliminated for the purposes of this report.
Appropriations from the Board totaled $74,235 and the related actual operating
costs totaled $70,702 for the fiscal year. The IRCHA cannot overspend appropri-
ations in total.
Indian River County Law Library (IRCLL) - The IRCLL was included in the report
because a member of the Board serves on the IRCLL Board, the facilities for the
IRCLL are provided by the Board, and funds are provided to the IRCLL under a
special act passed by the Florida State Legislature at the request of the
Board. In prior years, the IRCLL was reported as a special revenue fund. As of
October 1, 1989, the IRCLL became a department of the Board of County
Commissioners' General Fund. On October 1, 1989, a residual fund equity
transfer out of the IRCLL Special Revenue Fund to the Indian River County
General Fund in the amount of $8,569 was made.
North Indian River County Fire District, West Indian River County Fire District,
and South Indian River County Fire District - The fire districts were included
in the report because the Board sits as the Board for each fire district,
approves the budget and sets the millage rate for each fire district, and desig-
nates the management of each fire district. The fire districts are reported as
special revenue funds.
The following entities, which meet the scope of public service criteria, have been
excluded from this report:
Indian River County School Board District (IRCSBD) - The IRCSBD has a separately
elected board, maintains its own financial records and reports to the Florida
Department of Education.
Indian River County Hospital (IRCH) - The IRCH has a separately elected board,
maintains its own financial records, can issue debt with the approval of its
board or the voters, and issues its own report.
Indian River County Mosquito Control District (IRCMCD) - The IRCMCD has a sepa-
rately elected board, maintains its own financial records, and issues its own
report.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:
Indian River County Health Department (IRCHD) - The Board does provide some
funds for the operations of the IRCHD, sets part of the fee schedule, and must
provide the facilities for the IRCHD. However, the Florida Department of Health
and Rehabilitation appoints the management of the IRCHD, maintains the financial
records, and includes the IRCHD in its own report. The funds and facilities
provided by the Board are mandated by the Florida State Statutes.
B. Fund Accounting - The accounts of the County are organized on the basis of funds
and account groups, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity.
The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self -
balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues
and expenditures, or expenses, as appropriate. Government resources are allo-
cated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which
they,are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are con-
trolled. The purpose of the County's various funds and account groups is as
follows:
Governmental Funds
General Fund - The General Fund is the general operating fund of the
County. It is used to account for all financial resources, except those
required to be accounted for in another fund.
Special Revenue Funds - Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the
proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than major capital projects)
that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes.
Debt Service Funds - Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accu-
mulation of resources for, and the payment of, general long-term debt
principal, interest and related costs.
Capital Proiects Funds - Capital Projects Funds are used to account for
financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of
major capital facilities (other than those financed by the proprietary
funds).
Proprietary Funds
Enterprise Funds - Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations
(a) that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business
enterprises - where the intent of the governing body is that the costs
(expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the
general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily
through user charges; or (b) where the governing body has decided that
periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred, and/or net
income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management
control, accountability or other purposes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
Year Ended September 30, 1990
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:
Proprietary Funds - Continued
Internal Service Funds - The Fleet Management and Self Insurance Internal
Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods and services
provided to other departments or agencies of the County, on a cost -
reimbursement basis.
Fiduciary Funds
Trust and Agency Funds - Trust and Agency Funds are used to account for
assets held by the County in a trustee capacity or as an agent for indi-
viduals, private organizations, other governments, and/or other funds.
These include Agency Funds and an Expendable Trust Fund.
Account Groups
General Fixed Assets - To account for all fixed assets of the County,
except fixed assets of proprietary funds.
General Long -Term Debt - To account for all the outstanding principal
balances of general and special obligation bonds, notes, capital leases
and compensated absences of the County, except long-term obligations of
proprietary funds.
C. Measurement Focus
Governmental Fund Types - General, Special Revenue, Debt Service and Capital
Projects Funds are accounted for on a "spending" or "financial flow" measurement
focus. This means that only current assets and current liabilities are
generally included on the balance sheets. Accordingly, the reported unreserved
fund balance (net current assets) is considered a measure of available, spend-
able or appropriable resources. Governmental Fund Type operating statements
present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expendi-
tures and other financing uses) in net current assets.
Proprietary Fund Types - The Enterprise and Internal Service Funds are accounted
for on an "income determination" measurement focus. Accordingly, all assets and
liabilities are included on the balance sheet, and the reported fund equity
(total reported assets less total reported liabilities) provides an indication
of the economic net worth of the fund. Operating statements for the Proprietary
Fund Types report increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total eco-
nomic net worth.
Fiduciary Fund Types - The Expendable Trust Fund is accounted for in the same
manner as Governmental Funds. The Agency Funds are custodial in nature (assets
equal liabilities) and do not involve measurement of results of operations.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:
C. Measurement Focus - Continued
Account Groups - The General Fixed Assets Account Group and the General Long -
Term Debt Account Group are concerned only with the measurement of financial
position. They are not involved with the measurement of results of opera-
tions. Fixed assets, which are not used in Proprietary Fund operations, are
accounted for in the General Fixed Assets Account Group. Depreciation is not
charged on the general fixed assets. Long-term debts, which are not intended to
be financed through the Proprietary Funds, are accounted for in the General
Long -Tera Debt Account Group.
D. Basis of Accounting - Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expendi-
tures or expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial
statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurements made,
regardless of the measurement focus applied.
All Governmental Funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of
accounting. Under the modified accrual basis, revenues are recognized when they
become measurable and available as net current assets. Primary revenues,
including taxes, intergovernmental revenues, charges for services, rents and
interest are treated as susceptible to accrual under the modified accrual
basis. Other revenue sources are not considered measurable and available, and
are not treated as susceptible to accrual. Expenditures are generally recog-
nized under the modified accrual basis of accounting when the related fund
liability is incurred. An exception to this general rule is that principal and
interest on general long-term debt is recognized when due.
Proprietary Funds - The Enterprise and the Internal Service Funds are accounted
for using the accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are
recognized when they are earned and expenses are recognized when they are
incurred. Unbilled utility receivables are recorded at year end.
Fiduciary Funds - The Expendable Trust Fund and the Agency Funds are accounted
for on the modified accrual basis.
E. Equity in Pooled Cash and Investments - The County, for accounting and invest-
ment purposes, maintains a pooled cash and investment account for all Board
funds. This gives the County the ability to invest large amounts of idle cash
for short periods of time and to maximize earning potential. The "equity in
pooled cash and investments" represents the amount owned by each fund of the
Board. Cash and investments of Constitutional Officers are generally maintained
in separate accounts, but have been combined with the Board's equity in pooled
cash and investments for financial statement purposes.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:
F. Investments - Investments consist of Repurchase Agreements, U.S. Treasury
Securities, U.S. Government Agency Securities, and the Local Government Surplus
Funds Trust Fund that are recorded at cost, which approximates market value.
Investments held in the deferred compensation plan are recorded at market value.
G. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - The County provides an allowance for water and
sewer accounts receivable that may become uncollectible. At September 30, 1990,
this allowance was $4,000. The Housing Authority provides an allowance for
rents receivable which may become uncollectible which amounted to $11,884 at
September 30, 1990. No other allowances for uncollectible accounts are main-
tained since other fund accounts receivable are considered collectible as
reported at September 30, 1990.
H. Inventories - Inventories are valued at cost, which approximates market, using
the "first -in, first -out" method of accounting. The costs of General Fund and
Expendable Trust Fund inventories are recorded as expenditures when consumed
rather than when purchased. Inventory of the Clerk of the Circuit Court,
included in the Combined Agency Funds, represents documentary stamps on consign-
ment from the State of Florida. Stamps are carried at cost, which is their face
value.
I. Property, Plant and Equipment
(1) Property, plant and equipment purchased in the Governmental Fund Types are
recorded as capital outlay expenditures at the time of purchase. Such
assets are capitalized at cost in the General Fixed Assets Account Group,
except for certain improvements other than buildings ("infrastructure")
such as roads, bridges, curbs and gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage
systems and lighting systems. Donated and confiscated assets are recorded
in the general fixed assets at their fair market value at the time
received.
No depreciation has been provided on general fixed assets.
The Board holds legal title for the general fixed assets used in the
operations of the Board, Property Appraiser, Tax Collector, Supervisor of
Elections, and Clerk of the Circuit Court and is accountable for them
under Florida law.
The Sheriff is accountable for and thus maintains general fixed asset
records pertaining only to equipment used in his operations. These assets
have been combined with the Board's general fixed assets in the General
Fixed Assets Account Group.

(2) Property, plant and equipment of the Proprietary Fund types are recorded
at cost. Donated property, plant and equipment are capitalized at their
fair market value at the time received. Depreciation is provided using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various
classes of depreciable assets. The estimated useful lives of the various
classes of depreciable assets are as follows:
Assets
Building and improvements
Machinery and equipment
Utility distribution systems
Years
25 - 40
3 - 10
25 - 50
J. Capitalization of Interest - Interest costs related to bond issues are capital-
ized during the construction period. These costs are netted against applicable
interest earnings on construction fund investments. During the current period,
the Water and Sewer System Enterprise Fund incurred interest expense during the
construction period totaling $498,333. Related interest earnings on construc-
tion fund investments totaled $138,630 for net capitalized interest of $359,703.
K. Unamortized Bond Costs - Bond issue costs and legal fees associated with the
issuance of Proprietary Fund revenue bonds are amortized over the life of the
bonds using the straight-line method of accounting.
L. Unamortized Bond Discount - Bond discount associated with the issuance of
Proprietary Fund revenue bonds are amortized according to the interest method,
which results in a constant rate of interest being applied to the amount out-
standing at any given time. For financial reporting, unamortized bond discount
is netted against applicable long-term debt.
M. Intangible Assets - Land use rights purchased by the Water and Sewer System Fund
from the Golf Course Fund for irrigating the golf course with treated effluent
are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
life of 20 years.
N. Deferred Revenues - Deferred revenues reported in applicable Governmental Fund
Types represent unearned revenues or revenues which are measurable but not
available and, in accordance with the modified accrual basis of accounting, are
reported as deferred revenues. The deferred revenues will be recognized as
revenue in the fiscal year they are earned or become available.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:
0. Accrued Compensated Absences - The County records compensated absences in the
Governmental Fund Types as an expenditure for the amount accrued during the year
that would normally be liquidated with expendable available financial
resources. The remainder of the liability is reported in the General Long -Term
Debt Account Group. Proprietary Fund Types accrue compensated absences in the
period they are earned.
P. Contributions - The contributions accounted for in the Proprietary Fund Types
represent contributions from other funds, State and Federal Aid programs,. and
impact fees charged to new customers for their anticipated burden on the
existing system. Depreciation expense on contributed fixed assets is reflected
in the statement of revenues, expenses and changes in retained earnings.
Depreciation on contributed fixed assets is transferrred to the related
contribution accounts (reducing contributions) instead of retained earnings.
0. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting - The County uses the following procedures in
establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements:
(1) The Constitutional Officers submit, at various times, to the Board and to
certain divisions within the Department of Revenue, State of Florida, a
proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following
October 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the
means of financing them.
(2) The Department of Revenue, State of Florida, has the final authority on
the operating budgets for the Tax Collector and Property Appraiser
included in the General Fund.
(3) On or before July 15 of each year, the Director of the Office of
Management and Budget, as the Board's designated budget officer, submits
to the Board a tentative budget for the ensuing fiscal year. The tenta-
tive budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing
them. The Board then holds workshops to review the tentative budget by
Fund on an object level.
(4) During September, public hearings are held pursuant to Section 200.065 of
the Florida Statutes in order for the Board to receive public input on the
tentative budget. At the end of the last public hearing, the Board enacts
ordinances to legally adopt the budgets for all governmental fund types.
The budgets legally adopted by the Board set forth the anticipated
revenues by source and the appropriations by function.
(5) Formal budgetary integration of an object level is used as a management
control device for the governmental funds of the County. Management is
authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between objects and departments in
any fund as long as management does not exceed the total appropriations of
a fund. Board approval to amend the budget is only required when
unanticipated revenues are received that management wishes to have
appropriated thereby increasing the total appropriations of a fund.

2. Cash and Investments:
The County maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use by all
funds except those whose cash and investments must be segregated due to bond cove-
nants or other legal restrictions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - At September 30, 1990, the carrying amount of the
County's cash and cash equivalents was $19,436,017 made up of demand deposits,
certificates of deposit, money market accounts, savings accounts and petty cash.
All deposits with financial institutions were 1001 insured by federal depository
insurance or by collateral pursuant to the Public Depository Security Act of the
State of Florida. Various deposits were earning interest from 5-111.
Investments - Florida Statutes, the Board of County Commissioners' Investment
Policy, and various bond covenants authorize investments in certificates of deposit,
money market accounts, savings accounts, repurchase agreements, the Local Government
Surplus Funds Trust Fund administered by the Florida State Board of Administration,
obligations of the U.S. Government, and government agencies unconditionally guaran-
teed by the U.S. Government. Certificates of deposit, money market accounts and
savings accounts and bank balances are reported as cash and cash equivalents
above. The County invested in only these types of instruments during the fiscal
year.
The County's investments are categorized below to give an indication of the level of
risk assumed at year end. Category 1, defined as insured or registered or for which
the securities are held by the County or its agent in the County's name. Category
2, defined as uninsured and unregistered, with securities held by the counterparty's
trust department in the County's name.

1989. Virtually all unpaid taxes are collected via the sale of tax certificates
prior to fiscal year end, therefore, there were no material taxes receivable at
fiscal year end.

►. Defined Benefit Pension Plans:
A. Florida Retirement System
The County's employees, except certain firemen, participate in the Florida
Retirement System (FRS), a cost-sharing, multiple -employer public employee
retirement system, administered by the Florida Department of Administration.
The FRS is noncontributory for all members, all contributions are made by the
employer. The FRS has five classes of membership with descriptions and
contribution rates in effect during the period ended September 30, 1990 as
follows (contribution rates are in agreement with the actuarially determined
rates):
Regular Class - Members not qualifying
for other classes
Senior Management Service Class - Members
of senior management who do not elect the
optional annuity retirement program
Special Risk Class - Members employed as
law enforcement officers, firefighters,
or correctional officers and meet the
criteria set to qualify for this class
Special Risk Administrative Support Class
- Special risk members who are trans-
ferred or reassigned to non -special risk
and meet the criteria
Elected State Officer's Class - Certain
elected county officials

17.50% 19.90%
14.76% 14.09%
18.44% 19.71%
The FRS provides vesting after ten years of creditable service. Members are
eligible for normal retirement after vesting (10 years or more creditable
service for regular members). Early retirement may be taken anytime after
vesting, but there is a five percent benefit reduction for each year prior to
normal retirement age (less than 30 years service or 62 years of age for regular
members).
Members are also eligible for in -line -of -duty or regular disability benefits if
permanently disabled and unable to work. Benefits are computed on the basis of
age, average final compensation and service credit.

A. Florida Retirement System - Continued
The County's contributions to the FRS, which are based on Section 121, Florida
Statutes, through September 30, 1990 were $3,876,242 on covered payroll of
$24,736,032, for a 15.67% contribution rate. Total payroll for the County was
$27,854,074. The County's contribution represented less than 1% of total
contributions required of all participating employees.
The most recent actuarial study was prepared as of July 1, 1989 which recommends
an increase in contribution rates over the next five years in order to meet
normal cost and fund the unfunded actuarial accrued liability. The report indi-
cated two major changes in procedures and assumptions. The investment return
was changed to 8% from 9% and the asset valuation method was changed. Section
121.031(3) of the Florida Statutes requires that an actuarial review of the FRS
be performed biennially. The conclusions of the review are included in the
annual report of the FRS.
As of the most recent annual statewide report dated July 1, 1989, the FRS had
101,791 retirees and beneficiaries, 15,055 vested but terminated potential
annuitants and 502,773 active members. Of the active members, 198,113 are
vested. The total annual payroll of the vested members was approximately $12
billion.

The amount of the total pension benefit obligation is based on a standardized
measurement established by the GASS Statement No. 5. The standardized measure-
ment is the actuarial present value of credited projected benefits. This
pension valuation method reflects present value of estimated pension benefits
that will be paid in future years as a result of employee services performed to
date and is adjusted for the effects of projected salary increases and any
changes in benefits.

Because the standardized measure is used only for disclosure purposes only, the
measurement is independent of the actuarial computation made to determine
contributions to the pension plan which is the entry age actuarial cost method.
For further information, including 10 -year historical trend information, refer
to the State of Florida's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report or the various
publications available from the Florida Department of Administration.
B. Firefighters Pension Plan
In October, 1981, the South Indian River County Fire District took over opera-
tions of the City of Vero Beach's Fire Department. Full-time firemen were given
the option of joining the Florida Retirement System or remaining in the City's
plan. Twenty full-time firemen and all of the volunteers elected to remain in
the City's plan. Those who joined the Florida Retirement System received
refunds of their contributions from the City's plan. The City has by Statute
retained fiduciary responsibility for this plan which is a single employer
public employee retirement system. Employer contributions to the PERS are made
by the County.
Benefits vest after 10 years of service. Firefighters who retire at the earlier
of age fifty-five and ten years of contributing service or age fifty-two and
twenty-five years of contributing service are entitled to an annual retirement
benefit, payable monthly for life, in an amount equal to 2.50 percent of their
base compensation over the highest five years of employment, multipled by
credited service. The PERS also provides death and disability benefits. These
benefits and other requirements are established by State Statute and City of
Vero Beach ordinance. The firefighters are required to contribute 7 percent of
their compensation. The PERS also receives contributions from the State for
insurance premium refunds. The County is required to contribute the remaining
amount necessary to pay the annual normal cost plus an amount sufficient to fund
any unfunded accrued liability over 40 years.
Funding Status and Progress - The amount shown as the "pension benefit obliga-
tion" is a standardized disclosure measure of the present value of pension bene-
fits, adjusted for the effects of projected salary increases and step -rate bene-
fits, estimated to be payable in the future as a result of employee service to
date. The measure is intended to help users assess the funding status of the
PERS on a going -concern basis, assess progress made in accumulating sufficient
assets to pay benefits when due, and make comparisons among employers. The
measure is the actuarial present value of credited projected benefits and is
independent of the funding method used to determine contributions to the PERS.

The pension benefit obligations were computed as a part of actuarial valuations
performed as of October 1, 1990. Significant actuarial assumptions used in the
valuation include (a) a rate of return on the investment of present and future
assets compounded annually of 6 1/2%, and (b) projected salary increases of 7% a
year compounded annually attributable to inflation.
Total unfunded pension benefit obligations are as follows:

There were no current year changes in actuarial assumptions or benefit pro-
visions that would affect the pension benefit obligation.
Actuarially Determined Contribution Requirements and Contributions Made - The
County's funding policy provides for actuarially determined periodic contribu-
tions to the plans. The required contributions are actuarially determined and
include normal coats (after deducting expected employee contributions) and the
amount of the additional unfunded obligations created due to increases in plan
benefits over a period of 40 years. Employer contribution rates are determined
using the frozen entry age actuarial funding method. The Firemen's PERS uses
the aggregate actuarial cost method which does not produce a past service
liability that is amortized over a fixed number of years. Instead, the value of
all projected benefit in excess of current asset is paid off over the future
working years of the covered employee. Therefore, this method automatically
funds the remaining value of benefits while there are still active members.

The contributions made to the plan during the fiscal year ended September 30,

that it is unlikely that it will use the assets to satisfy the claims of general
creditors in the future.

disasters. During the previous fiscal year, the County established a fund to
account for risk management called the Self Insurance Fund (an internal service
fund). The risk management program began on November 1, 1988. Under this program,
the Self Insurance Fund provides coverage for up to a maximum of $100,000 for each
worker's compensation claim, $100,000 for each general or auto liability claim,
$100,000 for each property damage claim, and $25,000 for each errors or omissions
claim. In addition, an aggregate loss fund was established of $600,000. As of
October 1, 1989, the County's risk retention amounts were increased to $175,000 for
each worker's compensation claim and $500,000 for each general or auto liability
claim. Risk retention was decreased to $10,000 for each property damage claim and
stayed the same for errors or omissions. The aggregate loss fund was increased to
$1,000,000. The County purchases commercial insurance for claims in excess of
coverage provided by the Fund and for all other risks of loss.

Year Ended September 30, 1990
13. Risk Management - Continued:
All departments of the County participate in the program. Payments are made by
various funds to the Self Insurance Fund based on past experience and actuarial
estimates of the amounts needed to pay current year claims. The claims liability of
$1,113,947 reported in the Fund at September 30, 1990 is based on the requirements
of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 10, which requires that a
liability for claims be reported if information prior to the issuance of the finan-
cial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at
the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably
estimated. Estimates for claims incurred but not reported are actuarially deter-
mined and recorded. Changes in the Fund's claims liability amount during the
current and prior fiscal years are as follows:
Beginning -of -
Fiscal -Year -Liability
Current Year
Claims Balance
and Charges Claim at Fiscal

1988-1989 $ -0- $504,167 $ 88,917 $ 415,250
1989-1990 415,250 866,250 167,553 1,113,947
14. Commitments and Contingencies:
A. Litigation - The County is contingently liable with respect to lawsuits and
other claims incidental to the ordinary course of its operations. In the
opinion of management, based on the advice of legal counsel, the ultimate
disposition of lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
position of the County.
B. Construction Commitments - The County has various construction contracts out-
standing at September 30, 1990. In the Capital Projects Funds projects are for
Indian River Boulevard North, Treasure Shores Park, New North County and Main
Libraries, Phase III of the Jail, and New Health Department Building. In the
Enterprise Funds, the landfill expansion, Golf Course expansion, North County
Sewer Line, and various water and sewer projects are under construction. A

.C. Grants - Amounts received or receivable from grantor agencies are subject to
audit and adjustment by grantor agencies. If any expenditures are disallowed as
a result of these audits, the claims for reimbursement to the grantor agency
would become a liability of the County. In the opinion of management, any such
adjustments would not be significant.
15. Subsequent Events:
A. Housing Authority - During fiscal year 1990, the Housing Authority acquired land
in connection with construction of another low -rent, multi -family housing
facility. The Authority has received preliminary approval for construction of
100 units from Farmers Home Administration. FHA funding consists of a
53,816,000 loan and $1,200,000 FmHA grant. Construction of these units is
expected to begin during fiscal year 1991.
B. On December 11, 1990, the Board approved a plan for the acquisition of property
as a site for the new County Courthouse in an amount approximating $2.5 million.
C. On January 28, 1991, the Board approved a plan for the issuance of approximately
$8,250,000 in revenue bonds for the acquisition of land and construction of an
additional eighteen -hole golf course. From the proceeds of these bonds, the
County would advance refund the outstanding balance of Recreational (Golf
Course) Revenue Bonds, Series 1985 in the amount of $2,720,000.

Account therein, a sum sufficient to pay when due the entire
principal of the Bonds remaining unpaid, together with interest
accrued or to accrue thereon, the Issuer covenants with the
Registered Owners of any and all Bonds, among other things, as
follows:
1. Racetrack Fund. The Racetrack and Jai Alai Fronton
Funds shall, upon receipt thereof, be deposited in the "Racetrack
Revenue Fund" (the "Racetrack Fund"), created and established
under the Resolution. In each year when the amount on deposit in
the Racetrack Fund, together with the amount then on deposit in
the Sinking Fund (excluding the Reserve Account therein), equals
the current Bond Service Requirement, no further deposits of
Racetrack and Jai Alai Fronton Funds shall be required, and any
funds on deposit in the Racetrack Fund in excess of the amount of
the Racetrack and Jai Alai Fronton Funds which, together with the
funds currently on deposit in the Sinking Fund (excluding the
Reserve Account therein), equal the current Bond Service
Requirement, shall be paid to the Issuer. Money on deposit in
the Racetrack Fund shall, to the extent necessary, be used for
the purpose of supplementing the Sinking Fund (excluding the
Reserve Account therein) in order to prevent a default in the
payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds.
2. Revenue Fund. The Gross Revenues shall, upon receipt
thereof, be deposited in the "Recreational Facilities Revenue
Fund" (the "Revenue Fund"), created and established under the
Resolution.
3. Disposition of Revenues. All revenues at any time
remaining on deposit in the Revenue Fund shall be disposed of
only in the following manner and in the following order of priority:
(a) First, for deposit on or prior to the 15th day of
each month, in the "Recreational Facilities Operation and
Maintenance Fund" (the "Operation and Maintenance Fund"), which
is created and established under the Resolution, such sums as are
necessary for the Cost of Operation and Maintenance for the next
ensuing month.
C-5
(b) Second, for deposit into a separate fund which is
created under the Resolution and designated "Recreational Revenue
Bonds Sinking Fund" (the "Sinking Fund"), such sums as will be
sufficient to pay all interest becoming due on the Bonds during
the current Bond Year and all principal maturing on the Serial
Bonds during the current Bond Year. All such payments, as
provided above, shall include an amount sufficient to pay the
fees and charges of the paying agents if not otherwise provided.
(c) Third, on a parity with the payments into the
Sinking Fund, from the money on deposit in the Revenue Fund, the
Issuer shall next deposit into the "Bond Amortization Account" in
the Sinking Fund, created and established under the Resolution,
if and to the extent required, a sum equal to the amount of any
annual Amortization Installment for Term Bonds which shall become
due and payable during the current Bond Year.
(d) Fourth, to maintain in the Reserve Account in the
Sinking Fund, which Reserve Account is created and established
under the Resolution, a sum equal to the Reserve Account Requirement
on the Bonds. The Issuer shall deposit into the Reserve Account,
on or prior to the 15th day of each month, 1/12 of 20% of the
difference between the amount deposited into the Reserve Account
from the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds and the Reserve
Account Requirement, and no further deposits shall be required to
be made into the Reserve Account as long as the amount on deposit
therein (including any Reserve Account insurance policy or letter
of credit as described below) shall be equal to the Reserve
Account Requirement. The value of the Reserve Account, including
investments on deposit therein, shall be determined annually on
the first day of the Fiscal Year and any amount on deposit
therein in excess of the Reserve Account Requirement shall, to
the extent practicable, be paid to the Issuer.
Any withdrawals from the Reserve Account shall be subsequently
restored from the first money available in the Revenue Fund after
all required current payments for the Sinking Fund, Bond Amortization
Account, Operation and Maintenance Fund (including all deficiencies
in prior payments to those funds and accounts) and Reserve
Account have been made in full. Any excess funds in the Reserve
Account shall be transferred to the Revenue Fund.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in lieu of the
required deposits into the Reserve Account, the Issuer may cause
to be deposited into the Reserve Account a municipal bond
insurance policy issued by a reputable and recognized municipal
bond insurer with the highest rating from A. M. Best & Company,
or a letter of credit from a bank or trust company whose letter
of credit results in the rating of municipal obligations in one
of the 3 highest categories of either Moody's Investors Service,
Inc., or Standard & Poor's Corporation, for the benefit of the
C-6
Registered Owners in an amount equal to the difference between
the Reserve Account Requirement and the sums then on deposit in
the Reserve Account, if any, which Reserve Account insurance
policy or letter of credit shall be payable or available to be
drawn upon, as the case may be (upon the giving of notice as
required thereunder), on any Bond interest payment date on which
a deficiency exists which cannot be cured by money in any other
fund or account held pursuant to the Resolution and available for
such purpose. If a disbursement is made under the Reserve
Account insurance policy or letter of credit, the Issuer shall be
obligated to either reinstate the maximum limits of such Reserve
Account insurance policy or letter of credit immediately following
such disbursement, to the Reserve Account Requirement, or to
deposit into the Reserve Account from the Pledged Funds, funds in
the amount of the disbursement made under such Reserve Account
insurance policy or letter of credit, or a combination of such
alternatives as shall equal the Reserve Account Requirement.
Money in the Reserve Account shall be used only for the
purpose of the payment of maturing principal of or interest on
the Bonds and maturing Amortization Installments on Term Bonds,
if any, when the other money in the Sinking Fund is insufficient
therefor, and for no other purpose.
The Issuer shall not be required to make any further
payments into the Sinking Fund (including the Bond Amortization
Account and the Reserve Account therein) when the aggregate
amount of money in the Sinking Fund (including the Bond Amortization
Account and the Reserve Account therein) are at least equal to
the total Bond Service Requirement for all Bond Years of the
Bonds then outstanding, plus the amount of redemption premium, if
any, then due and thereafter to become due on such Bonds then
outstanding by operation of the Bond Amortization Account.
(e) Fifth, for deposit into a special fund to be known
as the "Recreational Facilities Improvement Fund" (the "Improvement
Fund"), which fund is created and established under the Resolution.
The Issuer shall deposit into the Improvement Fund, on or prior to
the 15th day of each month, an amount determined in the discretion
of the County Administrator. The money in the Improvement Fund
shall be used only for the purpose of paying the cost of extensions,
enlargements or additions to, or the replacement of capital
assets of, the Project, and emergency repairs thereto, or for the
purchase or redemption of Bonds. Such money on deposit in the
Improvement Fund shall also be used to supplement the Reserve
Account, if necessary, in order to prevent a default in the
payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds. The money
on deposit in the Improvement Fund shall be withdrawn only upon
the authorization of the County Administrator of the Issuer.
(f) Sixth, after the above required payments have been
made, for any lawful purpose.
C-7
The Revenue Fund, the Sinking Fund (including the Bond
Amortization Account and the Reserve Account therein), the
Operation and Maintenance Fund, the Improvement Fund and any
other special funds and accounts established and created under
the Resolution shall constitute trust funds for the purpose
provided in the Resolution for such funds and accounts. The
money in all such funds and accounts shall be continuously
secured in the same manner as county deposits are authorized to
be secured by the laws of the State of Florida.
Money on deposit in the Revenue Fund, the Sinking Fund
(excluding the Bond Amortization Account and the Reserve Account
therein), the Bond Amortization Account and the Improvement Fund
may be invested and reinvested in Authorized Investments which
mature not later than the dates on which the money on deposit
therein will be needed for the purposes of such funds and
accounts. Money on deposit in the Reserve Account may be
invested and reinvested only in investments described in Subsection
1 of the definition of "Authorized Investments" maturing not
later than the last maturity of the Bonds.
4. Operation of Bond Amortization Account. Money held for
the credit of the Bond Amortization Account shall be applied to
the retirement of Term Bonds as follows:
(a) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below,
the Issuer shall endeavor to purchase Term Bonds then outstanding,
at the most advantageous price obtainable with reasonable
diligence, such price not to exceed the principal of such Term
Bonds and the redemption premium which would be applicable if the
money applied to such purchase were otherwise applied to the
redemption of Term Bonds under paragraphs (b) or (c) below. The
Issuer shall pay the interest accrued on such Term Bonds to the
date of delivery thereof from the Sinking Fund and the purchase
price from the Bond Amortization Account, but no such purchase
shall be made by the Issuer within the period of 45 days immediately
preceding any interest payment date on which such Term Bonds are
subject to call for redemption, except from money in excess of
the amounts set aside or deposited for the redemption of Term Bonds.
(b) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below,
the Issuer shall call for redemption on each interest payment
date on which Term Bonds are subject to redemption from money in
the Bond Amortization Account, such amount of Term Bonds then
subject to redemption as will exhaust the money then held in the
Bond Amortization Account as nearly as may be practicable. Prior
to calling Term Bonds for redemption, the Issuer shall withdraw
from the Sinking Fund and from the Bond Amortization Account and
set aside in separate accounts for deposit with the paying agents
the respective amounts required for paying the interest on the
Term Bonds so called for redemption.
C-8
(c) Money in the Bond Amortization Account shall be
applied by the Issuer in each Bond Year to the retirement of Term
Bonds then outstanding in the following order:
(i) the Term Bonds of each series to the extent
of the Amortization Installment, if any, for such Bond Year for
the Term Bonds of each such series then outstanding and, if the
amount available in such Bond Year shall not be sufficient
therefor, then in proportion to the Amortization Installment, if
any, for such Bond Year for the Term Bonds of each such series
then outstanding; provided, however, that if the Term Bonds of
any series shall not then be subject to redemption from money in
the Bond Amortization Account and if the Issuer shall at any time
be unable to exhaust the money applicable to the Term Bonds of
such series under the provisions of this clause in the purchase
of such Term Bonds under the provisions of paragraph (a) above,
such money or the balance of such money, as the case may be,
shall be retained in the Bond Amortization Account and, as soon
as it is feasible, applied to the retirement of Term Bonds of
such series; and
(ii) any balance then remaining, other than money
retained under the first clause of this paragraph, shall be
applied to the retirement of such Bonds as the Issuer in its sole
discretion shall determine, but only, in the case of the redemption
of Bonds of any series, in such amounts and on such terms as may
be provided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the
Bonds of such series.
(d) The Issuer shall deposit into the Bond Amortization
Account, Amortization Installments for the amortization of the
principal of the Term Bonds, together with any deficiencies for
prior required deposits, such Amortization Installments to be in
such amounts and to be due in such years as shall be determined
by resolution of the Board prior to the sale of the Bonds.
The Issuer shall pay from the Sinking Fund all expenses in
connection with any such purchase or redemption.
5. Operation and Maintenance. The Issuer will maintain
the Project and all parts thereof in good condition and will

replacements as may be proper for the economical operation and
maintenance thereof.
6. Rate Covenant. The Issuer will, to the extent practicable,
fix, establish, revise from time to time whenever necessary,
maintain and collect always such fees, rates, rentals and other
charges for the use of the services of the Project which will
always provide Gross Revenues in each year sufficient to pay, and
C-9
out of such funds pay, 100% of all Costs of Operation and
Maintenance in such year, all Bond Service Requirements becoming
due in such year on the Outstanding Bonds and all reserve or
other payments required in the Resolution.
7. Books and Accounts; Audit. The Issuer shall keep
proper books, records and accounts, separate and apart from all
other records and accounts, showing correct and complete entries

times to inspect such books, records and accounts. The Issuer
shall within 180 days following the close of each Fiscal Year,
cause an audit of such books, records and accounts to be made by
an independent firm of certified public accountants; however,
such audit may be included in the annual audit of the operations
of the Issuer. Copies of each such audit report shall be placed
on file with the Issuer and be made available at reasonable times
for inspection by Registered Owners.
8. No Mortgage or Sale of Project. The Issuer shall not
sell, mortgage, lease or otherwise dispose of or encumber the

the properties comprising the Project if simultaneously with such
sale or other disposition thereof, provision is made for the
payment of cash and/or Federal Securities into the Sinking Fund,
the principal of and interest on which is sufficient to pay the
principal of, applicable redemption premium and interest on all
Bonds then outstanding in full in accordance with the requirements
of the Resolution; and (b) may sell, lease or otherwise dispose of
any portion of the properties of the Project which shall have
become unserviceable, inadequate, obsolete, worn out or unfit to
be used in the operation of the Project or no longer necessary,
material to, or useful in such operation.

properties comprising the Project of the kinds, against such
risks, accidents or casualties, and in at least the amounts,
which are usually and customarily carried upon similar properties,
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
fire, extended coverage and general liability, and also all
additional insurance covering such risks as shall be deemed
necessary or desirable by the Issuer; provided, however, that in
lieu of carrying such insurance, the Issuer may self -insure to
the extent customary with like properties. In the event of any
loss or damage to the properties of the Project covered by
insurance, the Issuer shall with respect to each such loss,
promptly repair and reconstruct to the extent necessary for the
proper conduct of the operations of the Project, the lost or
damaged portion thereof, and shall apply the proceeds of any
insurance policy or policies covering such loss or damage for
C-10

and reconstruction is not necessary for the efficient operation
of the Project.
10. No Impairment of Contract. The Issuer has full power
and authority to irrevocably pledge the Pledged Funds to the
payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds. The
pledge of such Pledged Funds, in the manner provided in the

and pursue such legal remedies which may be available to it
either in law or in equity to prevent or cure any default or
impairment as within the meaning of this paragraph.

the Project free of charge to any person, firm or corporation,
public or private.

no use of proceeds of the Series 1991 Bonds that will cause them
to be or to become "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of the
Code, as amended, and applicable regulations, and to comply with
all other requirements of such Code if and to the extent
applicable to maintain continuously the Federal income tax
exemption of interest on the Series 1991 Bonds.

(except (a) an amount equal to accrued and capitalized interest,
if any, on the Bonds to be deposited in the Sinking Fund, (b) an
amount equal to all or a portion of the Reserve Account Requirement
to be deposited in the Reserve Account and (c) an amount necessary
to pay costs of issuance of the Series 1991 Bonds and related
costs), shall be deposited in a trust fund which is created and
established under the Resolution and designated as the "Recreational
Revenue Bonds, Series 1991 Facilities Construction Fund" (the
"Construction Fund"). The money therein shall be used only for
the payment of the cost of the Project, but, pending such
application, may be invested in Authorized Investments maturing
at such time or times as necessary to meet the requirements of

money in the Construction Fund after completion of the Project
shall be deposited in the Revenue Fund.
DEFEASANCE
If, at any time, the Issuer shall have paid, or shall have
made provision for payment of, the principal, interest and
redemption premiums, if any, with respect to any of the Bonds,
then, and in that event, the pledge of and lien on the Pledged
Funds in favor of the Registered Owners of such Bonds shall be no
longer in effect. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the
deposit of Federal Securities in irrevocable trust with a banking
institution or trust company, for the sole benefit of the
Registered Owners of such Bonds, in an amount such that the
principal of and interest on such Federal Securities will be
sufficient to pay when due the principal, interest and redemption
premiums, if any, on such outstanding Bonds, shall be considered
"provision for payment." For the purposes of this Section,
amounts paid under a municipal bond insurance policy shall not be
deemed paid pursuant to this Section, and shall continue to be
due and owing until paid by the Issuer in accordance with this
resolution. Nothing in the Resolution shall be deemed to require
the Issuer to call any of such outstanding Bonds for redemption
prior to maturity pursuant to any applicable optional redemption
provisions, or to impair the discretion of the Issuer in determining
whether to exercise any such option for early redemption.
MODIFICATION OR AMENDMENT
No material modification or amendment of the Resolution or
of any resolution amendatory thereof or supplemental thereto, may
be made without the consent in writing of the Registered Owners
of 51% or more in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then
outstanding, or the Registered Owners of all the Bonds to be
affected by such modification or amendment; provided, however,
that no modification or amendment shall permit a change in the
maturity of such Bonds or a reduction in the rate of interest
thereon or in the amount of the principal obligation, or affect
the unconditional promise of the Issuer to pay the principal of
and interest on the Bonds as the same shall come due from the
Pledged Funds, or reduce the percentage of the Registered Owners
of the Bonds required to consent to any material modification or
amendment hereof, without the consent in writing of the Registered
Owners of all such Bonds.
For the purpose of this Section, to the extent any Bonds are
insured by a municipal bond insurance policy, and the insurer is
not then in default under such policy or is not then bankrupt,
insolvent or in receivership, such insurer shall be deemed to be
the Registered Owner of any Bonds so insured (a) at all times for
the purpose of giving any approval or consent to the execution
and delivery of any supplemental or amendatory resolution which
C-12
under the Resolution requires the written approval or consent of
the Registered Owners of not less than 60% in aggregate principal
amount of the Bonds outstanding, and (b) following a default in
the payment, when due, of principal, redemption premium, if any,
and/or interest on the Bonds.

Re: Indian River County, Florida
$ Aggregate Principal Amount of
Recreational Revenue Bonds, Series 1991
Dated as of , 1991
OPINION
We have acted as Bond Counsel in connection with the authorization,
sale, issuance and delivery of the Recreational Revenue Bonds, Series 1991,
dated as of , 1991, in the aggregate principal amount of
$ (the "Series 1991 Bonds"), of Indian River County, Florida (the
"County"). The Series 1991 Bonds are issued as Additional Parity Obligations
under the Resolution hereinafter defined. Recreational Revenue Bonds, Series
1985, dated as of April 1, 1986, in the aggregate principal amount of $2,720,000.
(the "Series 1985 Bonds"), of the County have been issued and are currently
outstanding. The Series 1985 Bonds, the Series 1991 Bonds and any Additional
Parity Obligations hereafter issued under the Resolution are herein referred to
as the "Bonds".
The Series 1991 Bonds are issued pursuant to the Constitution and laws
of the State of Florida, particularly Chapter 125, Florida Statutes (1990), as
amended, Ordinance No. 77-19, duly enacted by the Board of County Commissioners
of the County (the "Board") on August 3, 1977, as amended (the "Ordinance"), and
Resolution No. 85-78, duly adopted by the Board on July 17, 1985, as amended and
supplemented, including without limitation the amendments and supplements made by
Resolution No. 91-70, duly adopted by the Board on June 18, 1991, as amended and
supplemented (collectively the "Resolution"), and other applicable provisions of
law.
Under the Resolution, C&S/Sovran Trust Company (Florida), N.A., Fort
Lauderdale, Florida (the "Paying Agent"), has been appointed as paying agent and
registrar for the Series 1991 Bonds.
The County, pursuant to power and authority vested in it by law, will
acquire, construct, furnish and equip an expansion of the Sandridge Golf Course
owned by the County, including without limitation an additional eighteen hole
public golf course and an expansion of the clubhouse facilities (the "1991
Project").
The Resolution provides, inter alio, that the proceeds of the Series
1991 Bonds are to be used for and towards: (i) the payment of costs and expenses
of the 1991 Project; (ii) a deposit into the reserve account created and
established under the Resolution for the Bonds; and (iii) the payment of all
costs and expenses of issuance of the Series 1991 Bonds, all as more fully
provided in the Resolution.
The Resolution also contains covenants of the County to comply with
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and
applicable regulations promulgated thereunder inter alis, to preserve the
Federal income tax exemption of the interest on the Series 1991 Bonds.
The principal of, interest and premium, if any, on the Bonds are
payable from and secured by a first lien on and pledge of the Pledged Funds, as
2
defined in the Resolution, which include the Net Revenues, as defined in the
Resolution, from the operation of the Sandridge Golf Course and the Racetrack
Funds and Jai Alai Fronton Funds, as defined in the Resolution, received by the
County, all as more fully provided in the Resolution. The principal of, interest
and premium, if any, on the Series 1985 Bonds and the Series 1991 Bonds are
further payable from and secured by a lien on and pledge of the Sales Tax, as
defined in Resolution No. 85-75 of the County, as amended (the "Half-Cent Sales
Tax"), all as more fully and to the extent provided in the Resolution.
The Series 1991 Bonds shall not constitute a general obligation or
indebtedness of the County and the Registered Owners thereof shall never have the
right to require or compel the exercise of the power of the County to levy ad
valorem taxes for the payment of the principal of, interest or premium, if any,
on the Series 1991 Bonds.
As Bond Counsel, we have examined, among other things: certified
copies of certain proceedings of the Board with respect to the Series 1991 Bonds
and other proofs submitted to us which are relevant to the authorization, sale,
issuance and delivery of the Series 1991 Bonds; certified copies of the Ordinance
and the Resolution; a certificate of no litigation; a non-arbitrage certificate
of the County; a rebate compliance certificate of the County; and usual and
required closing affidavits, certificates and documents. We also have examined a
specimen of the Series 1991 Bonds executed in the manner required by the
Resolution, and assume that, as required by the Resolution, all of the Series
1991 Bonds have been similarly executed, will be issued in registered form and
will be authenticated by the Paying Agent, acting as bond registrar.
As to questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon
the certified proceedings and other certifications of public officials furnished
3
to us without undertaking to verify such facts by independent investigation.
Based on our examination and assuming investment and application of the
proceeds of the Series 1991 Bonds as set forth in the aforementioned non -
arbitrage certificate and rebate compliance certificate, assuming that the Series
1991 Bonds will remain in registered form as required by the Resolution, and
assuming continuing compliance by the County with the aforementioned covenants
pertaining to the Code, we are of the opinion that:
1. The County is a political subdivision of the State of Florida and
has the power to issue the Series 1991 Bonds and to acquire, construct, furnish,
equip, own, operate and maintain the 1991 Project.
2. The Ordinance and the Resolution have been duly enacted and
adopted, respectively, by the County and are valid and enforceable instruments.
3. The County is legally obligated to collect, receive, hold and
apply the Pledged Funds and the Half -Cent Sales Tax in accordance with the
provisions of the Resolution.
4. The Series 1991 Bonds are valid and legally binding special
obligations of the County and are payable from and secured by a lien upon and
pledge of the Pledged Funds and the Sales Tax, as and to the extent provided in
the Resolution.
5. The Series 1991 Bonds and the income therefrom are exempt from
taxation under the laws of the State of Florida, except estate taxes and taxes
imposed by Chapter 220, Florida Statutes, on interest, income or profits on debt
obligations owned by corporations, banks and savings associations.
6. The Series 1991 Bonds are not presently "arbitrage bonds" as
described in Section 103(b)(2) and Section 148 of the Code and applicable
regulations promulgated thereunder.
4
7. Interest on the Series 1991 Bonds (including any original issue
discount properly allocable to the holder thereof) is excluded from gross income
for purposes of federal income taxation and is not an item of tax preference for
purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and
corporations under present statutes, regulations and judicial decisions; although
it should be noted that in the case of corporations (as defined for federal
income tax purposes), such interest is taken into account in determining adjusted
current earnings for purposes of such alternative minimum tax.
We express no opinion regarding other federal tax consequences arising
with respect to the Bonds.
It is to be understood that the rights of the holders of the Series
1991 Bonds and the enforceability of the Series 1991 Bonds and of the Resolution
may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other
similar laws affecting creditors' rights heretofore or hereafter enacted and that
their enforcement may be subject to the exercise of judicial discretion in
accordance with general principles of equity.
Very truly yours,
