See "RATINGS" herein
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 1993 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 earnings for purposes of such alternative minimum tax. Furthermore, in the opinion of
Bond Counsel, the Series 1993 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 savings
associations. See'TAX EXEMPTION" herein for further information.

REFUNDING PLAN
To effect the advanced refunding of the Refunded Bonds, the County will enter into an Escrow

Bank of Florida, Jacksonville, Florida, as escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent"). Pursuant to the terms of the

Agent. Such moneys will be applied on the date of delivery of the Series 1993 Bonds to the purchase of direct
obligations of or obligations the payment of which are guaranteed by the United States of America (the "Escrow
Securities"). The Escrow Securities will mature at such times and in such amounts, together with cash held by

by or pursuant to said Resolution with respect to such Refunded Bonds will cease, terminate and be discharged.

proceeds from the disposition thereof will be used only to pay the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and
interest on the Refunded Bonds and will not be available for payment of the Series 1993 Bonds or any other
Bonds hereafter issued.

the principal of and interest on the Series 1993 Bonds which shall become Due for Payment but shall be unpaid
by reason of Nonpayment by the County (as such terms are defined in the Municipal Bond Insurance Policy).
The Insurer 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 the Insurer shall
have received notice of Nonpayment from the Trustee. The insurance will extend for the term of the Series 1993
Bonds and, once issued, cannot be canceled by the Insurer.
The Municipal Bond Insurance Policy will insure payment only on stated maturity dates and on manda-
tory sinking fund installment dates, in the case of principal, and on stated dates for payment, in the case of
interest. If the Series 1993 Bonds become subject to mandatory redemption and insufficient funds are available
for redemption of all outstanding Series 1993 Bonds, the Insurer will remain obligated to pay principal of and
interest on outstanding Series 1993 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 1993 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 Trustee has notice that any payment of principal of or interest on a Series 1993 Bond
which has become Due for Payment and which is made to a Bondholder by or on behalf of the County 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 the Insurer 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 Series 1993 Bonds to the Insurance Trustee together with an appropriate instrument of assignment
so as to permit ownership of such Series 1993 Bonds to be registered in the name of the Insurer 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 the Insurer.
Upon payment of the insurance benefits, the Insurer will become the owner of the Series 1993 Bond,
appurtenant coupon, if any, or right to payment of principal or interest on such Series 1993 Bond and will be
fully subrogated to the surrendering Bondholder's rights to payment.
The insurance provided by the Municipal Bond Insurance Policy is not covered by the Florida Insurance
Guaranty Association.
AMBAC Indemnity Corporation
The Insurer is a Wisconsin -domiciled stock insurance corporation regulated by the Office of the Com-
missioner of Insurance of the State of Wisconsin and licensed to do business in 50 states, the District of
Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, with admitted assets of approximately $1,725,000,000
(unaudited) and statutory capital of approximately $963,000,000 (unaudited) as of March 31, 1993. Statutory capi-
tal consists of the Insurer's policyholders' surplus and statutory contingency reserve. The Insurer is a wholly-
owned subsidiary of AMBAC Inc, a 100% publicly -held company. Moody's Investors Service and Standard &
Poor's Corporation have both assigned a triple-A claims -paying ability rating to the Insurer.
Copies of the Insurer's financial statements prepared in accordance with statutory accounting standards
are available from the Insurer. The address of the Insurer's administrative offices and its telephone number are
One State Street Plaza, 17th Floor, New York, New York, 10004 and (212) 668-0340.
The Insurer has entered into pro rata reinsurance agreements under which a percentage of the insurance
underwritten pursuant to certain municipal bond insurance programs of the Insurer has been and will be assumed
by a number of foreign and domestic unaffiliated reinsurers.
The Insurer has obtained a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the insuring of
an obligation by the Insurer will not affect the treatment for federal income tax purposes of interest on such obli-
gation and that insurance proceeds representing maturing interest paid by the Insurer 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 Series 1993 Bonds.
The Insurer makes no representation regarding the Series 1993 Bonds or the advisability of investing
in the Series 1993 Bonds and makes no representation regarding, nor has it participated in the preparation of,
the Official Statement other than the information supplied by the Insurer and presented under the heading
"MUNICIPAL BOND INSURANCE."
THE SENIOR HALF -CENT SALES TAX BONDS
The County issued its $7,530,000 Indian River County Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 1992 (the
"Series 1992 Bonds") on December 8, 1992, to defease $3,775,000 principal amount of its then outstanding
Refunding and Improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 1985 and all of its then outstanding Capital Improvement
Revenue Bonds, Series 1987. The Series 1992 Bonds were issued on a parity with the remaining outstanding
$4,170,000 principal amount of its Refunding and Improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 1985 (the "Series 1985
Bonds"). The Series 1992 Bonds and the Series 1985 Bonds are hereafter collectively referred to as the "Senior
Half -Cent Sales Tax Bonds." The Senior Half -Cent Sales Tax Bonds are presently outstanding in the aggregate
principal amount of $11,700,000 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
created by the Resolution for the security of the holders of the Series 1993 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 135
times the maximum debt service requirement on the Senior Half -Cent Sales Tax Bonds, the Series 1993 Bonds,
and Additional Parity Obligations at the time outstanding, and the additional bonds proposed to be issued. See
the caption "HALF -CENT SALES TAX."

THE RECREATIONAL FACILITIES
The Sandridge Golf Course is currently a 36 -hole public golf course and has related facilities located
at 530073rd 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. The Sandridge Golf Course 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 1986.
The addition of 18 holes to the Sandridge Golf Course in 1992 created a complete golf complex owned
and operated by the County, including a permanent 7,000 -square -foot clubhouse, a golf cart building and a
maintenance building. The golf course portion was 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 Mr. Garl. Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.
was the project engineer for the addition of 18 holes to the golf course portion. The clubhouse, golf course
building and maintenance building were designed by C.E. Block, a Vero Beach -based architect.
The construction of the additional 18 holes at the Sandridge Golf Course involved 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 additional 18 holes at the Sandridge Golf Course presents 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 additional course challenges all levels
of ability. The course promotes shot value and a playable balance (appropriate mix of hole distances) and tests
every club in a player's bag. Today, a more sophisticated public golfer is looking for new courses having the
quality and distinction of the Sandridge Golf Course, and the additional 18 holes have added to the unique
golfing experience already found at the Sandridge Golf Course.

RACETRACK AND JAI ALAI FRONTON FUNDS
Taxes on Pari-Mutuel Wagering
Chapters 500 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 horse 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.
11
The State receives as a tax on all horse racing performances an amount equal to 3.3% of the "handle"
in excess of $3011,000 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 Wagering Trust Fund is less than
$29,915,5110, the deficiency shall be paid into the Pari-Mutuel Wagering Trust Fund from the 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 5th 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.
Rights 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.
12
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.

HALF -CENT SALES TAX
Pursuant to Chapter 212, Part I, Florida Statutes, the State of Florida is authorized to levy and collect
a 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 as set forth in Chapter 212.
Chapter 212 was amended in 1982 and again in 1986, to increase the sales tax from 4% to 5% and then from
5% to 6%. Chapter 218, Florida Statutes, was amended in 1982 to add Part VI thereto entitled "Participation
in Half -Cent Sales Tax Proceeds." Pursuant to Chapter 218, Part VI, which became effective October 1, 1982,
one-half of the net additional taxes remitted to the State of Florida pursuant to Chapter 212 by a sales tax dealer
located within a county is required to be deposited in the Local Government Half -Cent Sales Tax Clearing Trust
Fund in the State Treasury (the "Trust Fund") and earmarked for distribution to the governing body of that
county and of each municipality within the county pursuant to a distribution formula. Such moneys are referred
to in Chapter 218, Part VI, as the Local Government Half -Cent Sales Tax. The Half -Cent Sales Tax is
distributed from the Trust Fund on a monthly basis to participating units of local government. To be eligible
to participate in the Half -Cent Sales Tax the counties and municipalities must comply with certain requirements
set forth in Section 218.63, Florida Statutes.
13
The Half -Cent Sales Tax proceeds collected within a county is distributed to the county and municipal
governments by the State in accordance with the following formulas:
The County's Share unincoMurated area population + 2/3 into rated area 000ulation
(% of total Half -Cent = total county population + 2/3 incorporated area population
Sales Tax Receipts)
Municipality Share municipality oonulation
(% of total Half -Cent = total county population + 2/3 incorporated area population
Sales Tax Receipts)
Population is the latest official state estimate of population certified prior to the beginning of the local
government fiscal year.
The County has complied with all of the requirements set forth in Chapter 218, Part VI, including the
filing of a certificate of compliance with the State Department of Revenue, that are necessary in order for the
County to receive its portion of funds from the Trust Fund during the fiscal year ending September 30, 1992.
The County is obligated to take all lawful action necessary or required to remain an eligible recipient of its
portion of the funds in the Trust Fund so long as any of the Series 1993 Bonds remain outstanding. Although
Chapter 218, Part VI, does not impose any limitation on the number of years during which the County can
receive -distributions of the Half -Cent Sales Tax from the Trust Fund, there may be future amendments to
Chapter 218, Part VI, in subsequent years imposing additional requirements of eligibility for cities and counties
participating in the Half -Cent Sales Tax. To be eligible to participate in the Trust Fund in future years, the
County must comply with the financial reporting requirements of Section 218.23(1), Florida Statutes. Otherwise,
the County loses its Trust Fund Distribution for twelve months following a "determination of non-compliance"
by the State Department of Revenue. The following table shows the County's seven year history of the Half -Cent
Sales Tax revenues in Indian River County:
Source: State of Florida, Department of Revenue.
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 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.
Under Section 165.041, Florida Statutes, a charter for incorporation of a new municipality must be
adopted by a special act of the Florida legislature, after a determination that certain standards set forth in

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 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.
Under Section 165.041, Florida Statutes, a charter for incorporation of a new municipality must be
adopted by a special act of the Florida legislature, after a determination that certain standards set forth in
14
Section 165.041, Florida Statutes, have been met. As applied to any new municipality within the County, those
standards include the following;
(a) The new municipality must have a total population of at least 5,000 persons;
(b) The new municipality must have an average population density of at least 15 persons per acre
except under certain extraordinary conditions; and
(c) Any part of the new municipality's proposed boundaries must be at least two miles from the
boundaries of an existing municipality within the County contiguous and amicable to separate municipal
government.
Under Section 171.041(3), Florida Statutes, a municipality may annex contiguous, compact,
unincorporated territory by adopting an annexation ordinance. Following adoption, such ordinance must be
submitted to a separate vote of the registered electors of the annexing municipality and the registered electors
of the area proposed to be annexed. If there is a separate majority vote for annexation in both the annexing
municipality and in the area proposed to be annexed, then the ordinance of annexation shall become effective
on the effective date speed therein. If there is a majority vote against annexation in either the annexing
municipality or in the area proposed to be annexed, or in both, the ordinance shall not become effective and the
area proposed to be annexed shall not be the subject to an annexation ordinance by the annexing municipality
for a period of two years from the date of the referendum on annexation. If more than 70% of the land in an
area proposed to be annexed is owned by individuals, corporations, or legal entities which are not registered
electors of such area, such area may not be annexed unless the owners of moro than 50% of the land in such
area consent to such annexation. Such consent must be obtained prior to the referendum to be held on the
annexation. An area proposed to be annexed must meet certain standards set forth in Section 171.043, Florida
Statutes.
In addition to the annexation procedures described above, under Section 171.044, Florida Statutes, the
owner or owners of real property in an unincorporated area which is contiguous to a municipality, and reasonably
compact, may file a petition with the governing body of such municipality requesting that such property be
annexed to the municipality. Upon determination by the governing body of the municipality that the petition
bears the signatures of all owners of property in the area proposed to be annexed, the governing body may adopt
a ordinance to annex such property and, after publication as required by law, such ordinance shall becow
effective.

APPROVAL OF LEGALITY
Certain legal matters incident to the authorization, issuance, We, and delivery of the Series 1993 Bonds,
and the treatment of the interest thereon for federal income tax purposes, are subject 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 1993 Bonds. In its capacity as Bond Counsel, Rhoads & Sinon
has participated in the preparation of, and has reviewed those portions of this Preliminary Official Statement
contained under the captions "DESCRIPTION OF THE SERIES 1993 BONDS," "SECURITY FOR THE
SERIFS 1993 BONDS," "APPROVAL OF LEGALITY,"'TAX EXEMPTION," and the "THE RESOLUTION"
contained in Appendix C to this Preliminary Official Statement and the language on the cover and in the
summary of this Official Statement insofar as such portions and such language summarize or describe the terms
of the Series 1993 Bonds, the Resolution and the tax-exempt status of the Series 1993 Bonds. The firm has not
been retained to pass upon, and will not express any opinion upon, any other information contained in this
Official Statement or that may be made available to prospective purchasers of the Series 1993 Bonds. Certain
legal matters will be passed upon for the County by the County Attorney, Charles P. Vitunac, Esquire, Vero
Beach, Florida, and for the Underwriter by its co -counsel, Bryant, Miller and Olive, PA., Tallahassee, Florida,
and Josias and Goren, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
TAX EXEMPTION
Federal Income Tax Matters
On the date of delivery of the Series 1993 Bonds, Rhoads & Sinon, Boca Raton, Florida, Bond Counsel,
will issue an opinion to the effect that under existing statutes, regulations and judicial decisions, interest on the
Series 1993 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, but
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.
The opinion summarized in the preceding paragraph is subject to the condition that the County comply
with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and applicable regulations promulgated
with respect thereto (the "Code), that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Series 1993 Bonds in
order that the interest thereon be and continue to be excluded from gross income for federal income tax
purposes. The County has covenanted to comply with all such requirements, which include, i�r cilia, restrictions
upon the yield at which proceeds of the Series 1993 Bonds and other money held for payment of the Series 1993
Bonds and deemed "proceeds" thereof may be invested and the requirement to calculate and rebate any arbitrage
that may be generated with respect to investments attributable to the Series 1993 Bonds. Failure to comply with
such requirements could cause the interest on the Series 1993 Bonds to be included in gross income retroactive
to the date of issuance of the Series 1993 Bonds.
Ownership of the Series 1993 Bonds may result in collateral federal income tax consequences to certain
taxpayers, including, without limitation, financial institutions, property and casualty insurance companies, certain
subchapter S corporations 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 Series 1993 Bonds. Bond Counsel will express no opinion
as to such collateral tax consequences, and prospective purchasers of the Series 1993 Bonds should consult their
tax advisors.
The County has covenanted, and 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 1993 Bonds, the proceeds of the
Series 1993 Bonds will not be used in a manner that would cause the Series 1993 Bonds to be or become
"arbitrage bonds" In the opinion of Bond Counsel, based upon the facts, estimates and circumstances set forth
18
in said certificate, the Series 1993 Bonds are not presently "arbitrage bonds" under existing statutes, regulations
and judicial decisions.
No representation is made or can be made by the County or any other party associated with the issuance
of the Series 1993 Bonds as to whether or not any legislation now or hereafter introduced and enacted will be
applied retroactively so as to subject interest on the Series 1993 Bonds to inclusion in gross income for Federal
income tax purposes or so as to otherwise affect the marketability or market value of the Series 1993 Bonds.
Enactment of any legislation that subjects the interest on the Series 1993 Bonds to inclusion in gross
income for federal income tax purposes or otherwise imposes taxation on the Series 1993 Bonds or the interest
paid thereon may have an adverse effect on the market value or marketability of the Series 1993 Bonds.
Florida Tax Matters
On the date of delivery of the Series 1993 Bonds, Bond Counsel will issue an opinion to the effect that
under existing statutes, regulations and judicial decisions, the Series 1993 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 savings associations.
Other Federal Income Tax Matters
Interest Expense Deductions for Financial Institutions
Under the Code, financial institutions are disallowed 100 percent of their interest expense deductions
that are allocable, by a formula, to tax-exempt obligations acquired after August 7, 1986. An exception, which
reduces the amount of the disallowance, is provided for tax-exempt obligations issued by a qualified issuer that
specifically designates such obligations as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" under Section 265 of the Code.
The Series 1993 Bonds have not been designated as "qualified tax-exempt obligations." Financial
institutions intending to purchase Series 1993 Bonds should consult with their professional tax advisors to
determine the effect of the interest expense disallowance on their federal income tax liability.
Original Issue Discount
In the opinion of Bond Counsel, under existing statutes, regulations and judicial decisions, the original
issue discount in the selling price of those maturities of the Series 1993 Bonds being sold in the initial public
offering with original issue discount is, to the extent properly allocable to each Holder of such Series 1993 Bonds,
excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes of such Holder, but may not be excludable from
the calculation of "adjusted current earnings" for purposes of the alternative minimum tax imposed on
corporations (as defined for federal income tax purposes). The original issue discount with respect to any
maturity of the Series 1993 Bonds is the excess of the stated redemption price at maturity of such Series 1993
Bonds over the initial offering price at which a substantial amount of the Series 1993 Bonds of such maturity
were sold to the public, excluding underwriters and other intermediaries, in the initial public offering. Accrued
original issue discount will increase a Holder's tax basis in a Series 1993 Bond and affect the determination of
taxable gain from any We or exchange of such Series 1993 Bond.
Prospective purchasers of the Series 1993 Bonds being sold in the initial public offering with original
issue discount should consult their tax advisors for further information concerning the manner in which the
original issue discount is apportioned among successive holders and the tax consequences of purchasing, holding
and selling such bonds.
VERIFICATION OF MATHEMATICAL COMPUTATIONS
The accuracy of the mathematical computations supporting the conclusions (i) that the principal amounts
and the interest on the Escrow Securities and other funds deposited in escrow under the Escrow Agreement are
adequate to provide for the payment when due of the principal, interest and redemption premium, if any, on the
Refunded Bonds and (u) that the yield on the Series 1993 Bonds does not cause the Series 1993 Bonds to be
"arbitrage bonds" under Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1956, as amended, will be verified by
McGladrey & Pullen, Minneapolis, Minnesota, independent certified public accountants, based upon schedules
provided by William R. Hough & Co.
UNDERWRITING

All taxes are due and payable on November 1 of each year or as soon thereafter as the assessment roll
is certified and delivered to the Tax Collector. All unpaid taxes become delinquent on April 1 following the year
in which they are assessed. Discounts are allowed for early payment at the rate of 4% in the month of
November, 3% in the month of December, 2% in the month of January and 1% in the month of February. The
taxes paid in March are without discount.
Delinquent taxes on real property bear interest of 18% per year. On or prior to June 1 following the

Report of Independent Accountants
The Honorable County Commissioners and
Constitutional Officers
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited the accompanying general-purpose financial statements and the
combining and individual fund financial statements of the enterprise funds of
Indian River County, Florida, as of and for the year ended September 30, 1992,
as listed in the Table of Contents. These financial statements are the respon-
sibility of Indian River County, Florida, management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these 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 financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the. amounts and disclosures in the. financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 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, 1992, and the results of its operations and
the cash flows of its proprietary fund types for the year then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion,
the combining and individual fund financial statements of the enterprise funds
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of each of the individual funds financial statements of Indian River
County, Florida, as of September 30, 1992, and the results of operations of such
funds and the cash flows of the individual proprietary funds for the year then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEN ENT S
Year Ended September 30, 1992
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
combined statement of cash flows 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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:
A. Rerwrtin, Entitv - Continued - Applying the criteria above has caused the
inclusion of the following entities:
Indian River County Housing Authority (IRCH - 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
IRCnh.
addition, they provide use Of certain furniture Due to theproprietary nature of the and equipment
IRCHAatno charge.
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, Section 8 Rental Assistance Special Revenue Fund and
o eratIg grants
received from the State of Florida. Since the operating
have
been properly reported in the enterprise fund, the Special ufromn the sBbeen
eliminated for the purposes of this report. Appropriations
totaled $69,852 and the related actual operating costs totaled $84,666 for the
fiscal year. The IRCHA cannot overspend appropriations in total.
Solid Waste Disposal District ISWDDI - The SWDD was included in the report
because the Board site as the Board for the SWDD and sets the non ad valorem
assessment fees for the SWDD. The SWDD is included as an enterprise fund.
North Indian River Count 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 (IRCSBDI - The IRCSBD has a separately
elected board, maintains its own financial records and reports to the Florida
Department of Education.
Indian River Count v 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 Coup Mosquito Control District (IRCMgDl - The IRCMCD has a sepa-
rately elected board, maintains its own financial records, and issues its own
report.
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.

1. Summary of Significant AQQOuntina Policies - Continued:
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 Projects 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.

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 Lona -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. Summery 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 -Ter■ 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. Cash and Investments - The County maintains a cash and investment pool that is
available for use by all funds. This pool has deposits, and all highly liquid
investments (including restricted assets) with maturities of ninety days or less
when purchased. In addition longer-term investments are held by several of the
County's funds. Pooled cash is classified as "Cash and Cash Equivalents" and
pooled investments are combined with other separate investments and classified
as "Investments" in the financial statements. Cash and cash equivalents of
Constitutional Officers are maintained in separate accounts, but have been
combined with the Board's cash and cash equivalents for financial statement
purposes.

I. 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.
G. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - The County provides an allowance for water and
sewer accounts receivable that may become uncollectible. At September 30, 1992,
this allowance was $23,000. The Housing Authority provides an allowance for
rents receivable which may become uncollectible which amounted to $7,592 at
September 30, 1992. No other allowances for uncollectible accounts are main-
tained since other fund accounts receivable are considered collectible as
reported at September 30, 1992.
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 Years
Building and improvements 25 - 40
Machinery and equipment 3 - 10
Utility distribution systems 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 Housing Authority, the Solid Waste Disposal District and the Water and Sewer
System Enterprise Funds incurred interest expense during the construction period
totaling 8845,624. Related interest earnings on construction fund investments
totaled 8448,003 for net capitalized interest of 8397,621.
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 were purchased by the Water and Sewer System
Fund from the Golf Course Fund for irrigating the golf course with treated
effluent. Leachate disposal rights were purchased by the Solid Waste Disposal
Fund from the Water and Sewer System Fund for removal and transporation of
leachate from the County landfill to the sewer system. These assets are being
amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 20
years.

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. Obligation for Bond Arbitrate Rebate - Pursuant to Section 148(f) of the U.S.
Internal Revenue Code, the County must rebate to the United States Government
the excess of interest earned from the investment of certain debt proceeds and
pledged revenues over the yield rate of the applicable debt. This payment is
typically due five years after original issuance of the debt. Amounts reflected
in the balance sheet represent the latest available calculations of the County's
accumulated rebate liability as of the balance sheet date.
Rebate liability associated with general government debt is reported in the
General Long -Term Debt Account Group until the year in which it must be paid
from current resources, at which time it is reflected as a fund liability.
Rebate liability for enterprise debt is reported in the applicable enterprise
fund.
0. Landfill Closure Costs - Under the terms of current state and federal regula-
tions, the Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) is required to place a final
cover on closed landfill areas, and to perform certain monitoring and
maintenance functions for a period of up to thirty years after closure. The
SWDD recognizes these costs of closure and post -closure maintenance over the
active life of each landfill area, based on landfill capacity used during the
period. Required obligations for closure and post -closure costs are recognized
in the Solid Waste Disposal District Enterprise Fund.
R. 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.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:
S. Budgets and Budaetary 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 at the fund level for all govern-
mental 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.

3. Property Tax Revenues:
Property tax revenues recognized for the 1991-92 fiscal year were levied in October,
1991. Virtually all unpaid taxes are collected via the sale of tax certificates

(1) Revenue Bonds - On July 10, 1985, the Board adopted a resolution autho-
rizing the issuance of $25,000,000 of Refunding and Capital Improvement
Revenue Bonds. On November 1, 1985, the Board issued $9,855,000 of
Refunding and Improvement Bonds, 1985 Series. The proceeds of this issue
legally defeased the County's Capital Improvement Revenue Bonds, Series
1980 and 1981, and provided funds to finance the cost of construction and
to reimburse the County for certain capital projects. On July 1, 1987,
the Board issued $3,655,000 of Capital Improvement Revenue Bonds, 1987
series. The proceeds of this issue provide funds for construction of
certain capital projects. The bonds and interest thereon, from both these
issues, are payable solely from and collateralized by a first lien upon
and pledge of the County's half -cent sales tax and related investment
income.

Special Assessment bonds were used for acquisition and construction of a
physically independent North County Wastewater System.
The payments of principal and interest on special assessment bonds and all
other required payments are being paid solely from the proceeds of the
assessments levied against benefiting property owners. There is no secon-
dary lien on the assets or the revenues of the County's Water and Sewer
System, however, if through foreclosure proceeding■ the property cannot be

9. Provision for Closure Costs:
As explained in Note 1.0., current regulations of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation (FDER) require
the Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) to place a final cover on closed landfill
areas, and to maintain those areas for up to thirty years after closure. The SWDD
recognizes the expenses associated with final closure and post -closure maintenance
of the landfill areas over the active life of those areas. These costs are recog-
nized in each operating period based on the amount of waste received during that
period, regardless of when cash disbursements are made for these costs.
The SWDD periodically obtains updated and revised estimates of total future closure
and post -closure costs from its consulting engineers. The provision for closure
costs reported in the financial statements as operating expense represents the
portion of these estimated future outlays which are allocable to the current year
based on the amount of waste received at active landfill areas during the year.
The total unrecognized closure and post -closure costs attributable to the currently
active landfill area (Segment II) is approximately $2.1 million. These costs will
be recognized in future periods as the remaining capacity is filled. This landfill
area is expected to close in the year 1996. In addition, the SWDD has already
purchased land which is expected to provide landfill capacity through the year 2002.

9. Provision for Closure Costs - Continued:
All amounts recognized are based on what it would cost to perform all closure and
post -closure functions in current dollars. Actual costs may be different due to
inflation, changes in technology, or changes in laws and regulations. The SWDD is
required by FDER to annually show proof of ability to finance closure and post -
closure costs, and has done so by fulfilling the requirements of the financial test
provision of the regulation. At the same time, the SWDD is making annual deposits
to a closure cost account to provide for the financing of future closure -related
expenditures. The balance in this account, as of September 30, 1992, was approxi-
mately $3.8 million.
10. Defined Benefit Pension Plans:

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, 1992 as
follows (contribution rates are in agreement with the actuarially determined
rates): Period

The most recent actuarial study was prepared as of July 1, 1991 and indicated no
major changes in procedures and assumptions. 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, 1991, the FRS had
111,821 retirees and beneficiaries, 18,131 vested but terminated potential
annuitants and 544,497 active members. Of the active members, 212,247 are
vested. The total annual payroll of the vested members was approximately $14
billion. The total unfunded pension benefit obligation of the FRS at July 1,
1991 is calculated as follows:

The amount of the total pension benefit obligation is based on a standardized
measurement established by the GASB Statement No. S. 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, 1992. Significant actuarial assumptions used in the
valuation include (a) a rate of return on the investment of present and future
assets compounded annually of 71, and (b) projected salary increases of 71 a
year compounded annually attributable to inflation. _

tion: The actuarially assumed rate of investment earnings was increased from
6.51 to 71, which reduced the pension benefit obligation by $174,592.

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 costs (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 benefits in excess of current assets 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 significant actuarial assumptions used to determine the actuarially deter-
mined employer contribution requirement are the same as those used to compute
the actuarial present value of credited projected benefits. There was a change
in the current year in the benefit provision. The number of years considered in
determining the average final compensation changed from 5 years to 3 years.
This change increased the pension benefit obligation by $157,050. There were no
changes in the current year in the actuarial funding method.
The contributions made to the plan during the fiscal year ended September 30,
1992 were based on the actuarial report dated October 1, 1991. Contributions
made by employees and employer are in agreement with the actuarially determined
contributions. An analysis of contributions made during the current fiscal year

due.
11. Deferred Compensation Plan:
The County offers its employees deferred compensation plans created in accordance
with the Internal Revenue Code, Section 457. The plan permits them to defer a
portion of their compensation until future years. The monies placed in the deferred
compensation plan are not available to employees until termination, retirement,
death, or an unforseeable emergency.
All amounts of compensation deferred under the plan, all property and rights pur-
chased with those amounts, and all income attributable to those amounts, property,
or rights are (until paid or made available to the employee or beneficiary) solely
the property and rights of the County, subject only to the claims of the County's
general creditors. Participants' rights under the plan are equal to those of
general creditors in an amount equal to the fair market value of the deferred
account for each participant.
The County has no liability for losses under the plan but does have the duty of due
care that would be required of an ordinary prudent investor. The County believes
that it is unlikely that it will use the assets to satisfy the claims of general
creditors in the future.

16. Risk Management:
The County is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to
and destruction of assets; errors and omissions: injuries to employees; and natural
disasters. During a 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 lose fund was established of $600,000. As of November 1,
1989, the County's risk retention amounts were increased to $200,000 for each
worker's compensation claim and as of October 1, 1989 $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.

16. 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
$1,216,257 reported in the Fund at September 30, 1992 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:

losses and at September 30, 1992, the retained earnings balance of $2,500,972 has
been designated for this purpose.
17. Commitments and Contingencies:

disposition of lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
position of the County.

standing at September 30, 1992. In the Capital Projects Funds, projects are for

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.
16. Subsequent Events:
A. Refundina Revenue Bonds, Series 1991 - On December 8, 1992, the Board issued a
$7,530,000 Bond with maturity dates ranging from 1993 to 2005 and interest rates

the County's outstanding Refunding and Improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 1985,
and all of the outstanding Capital improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 1987
($2,855,000). The Series 1992 Bonds will be paid from and secured by a first

awarded to James A. Cummings, Inc. at a cost of $13,272,600, which was under the
estimated price. Groundbreaking ceremonies were held on November 5, 1992 and
construction began on that date. The contractor has fourteen months to finish

36 -hole Sandridge Golf Club is a new 7,000 -square foot clubhouse housing the Pro
Shop, Snack Bar and Restroom facilities. Also included in this expansion was an
additional cart storage building and improvements to the golf maintenance
area. This expansion was funded with the County's $6,015,000 1991 Recreation
Revenue Bonds.

and benefits hereof to the same extent as the Bonds surrendered.
The County and the Bond Registrar may treat the Registered Owner of any
Bond as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, whether or not such Bond
shall be overdue, and shall not be bound by any notice to the contrary.

satisfactory indemnity and complying with such other reasonable regulations and
conditions as the Board may prescribe and paying such expenses as the Board and
the Bond Registrar may incur. All Bonds so surrendered shall be canceled by the
Bond Registrar. If any such Bonds shall have matured or be about to mature,
instead of issuing a substitute Bond, the County may pay the same, upon being
indemnified as aforesaid, and if such Bond be lost, stolen or destroyed, without
surrender thereof.
Any such substitute Bonds issued pursuant to this section shall constitute
original, additional, contractual obligations on the part of the County whether
or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Bonds be at any time found by anyone, and

rights as to lien on and source and security for payment from the funds, as

redemption of Term Bonds, the County may purchase from money in the Sinking Fund
or the Bond Amortization Account or other available funds of the County, at a

tender to the Paying Agent for cancellation Term Bonds of the appropriate series
and maturity. The amount of the Term Bonds of such series and maturity to be so
called for redemption on the next mandatory redemption date shall be reduced by
the principal amount of Term Bonds so purchased and tendered and, if the
principal amount thereof is greater than the amount required to be redeemed on
the next mandatory redemption date, the excess may be credited against subsequent
mandatory redemptions in such manner as the County may direct.
Notice of such redemption shall, not more than forty-five (45) days and not
less than thirty (30) days prior to the redemption date, (i) be filed with the
Bond Registrar and Paying Agent, and (ii) be mailed, postage prepaid, to all

or to register the transfer of or exchange any Bonds then considered for
redemption during a period beginning at the close of business on the fifteenth

such Bonds to be redeemed file written waivers of notice with the Paying Agent,
such Bonds may be redeemed on the redemption date without necessity of notice by

the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of any proceeding for
redemption of other Bonds so called for redemption.
So long as the Series 1993 Bond Insurance Policy is in effect, notice of
redemption of Series 1993 Bonds, other than mandatory sinking fund redemption and
redemption resulting from a refunding, shall be given or published only if

additional bonds may be issued from time to time having a lien upon and right to
payment on a parity with the Bonds.
This Bond does not constitute a general indebtedness of the County within
the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision or limitation. It is
expressly agreed by the Registered Owner of this Bond that such Registered Owner
shall never have the right to require or compel the exercise of the ad valorem
taxing power of the County for the payment of the principal of, interest or
premium, if any, on this Bond or the making of any other payments specified by
the Resolution. It is further agreed between the County and the Registered Owner
of this Bond that this Bond and the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall

register the transfer of or exchange any Bonds then considered for redemption
during a period beginning at the close of business on the fifteenth (15th) day
next preceding any date of selection of Bonds to be redeemed and ending at the
close of business on the day of mailing the applicable notice of redemption, as
hereinafter provided, or to register the transfer of or exchange any portion of
any of the Bonds selected for redemption until after the redemption date.

(Insert redemption provisions)
In lieu of any mandatory redemption of the Bonds, the County may purchase
Bonds and tender them to the Paying Agent, all as more fully provided in the
Resolution.

the purposes of redemption, if this Bond is of a denomination larger than $5,000,
it shall be treated as representing that number of Bonds which equals the number
obtained by dividing the principal amount hereof by $5,000, each $5,000 portion
of this Bond being subject to redemption. In case of partial redemption of this
Bond, payment of the redemption price shall be made only upon surrender of this
Bond in exchange for Bonds of authorized denominations and of the same maturity
and interest rate as this Bond, in aggregate principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion of the principal amount hereof.

benefit or security under the Resolution, and the registered owners of such Bonds
or portions thereof so called for redemption shall have no rights with respect
thereto, except to receive payment of the principal to be redeemed and accrued

SECTION 14. BONDS NOT GENERAL OBLIGATIONS. The Bonds shall not be or
constitute general or moral obligations or a pledge of the faith, credit or
taxing power of the County, the State of Florida or any political subdivision
thereof or an indebtedness of any of them as "bonds" within the meaning of the
Constitution of the State of Florida, but shall be special obligations of the
County payable solely from and secured solely by a lien upon and a pledge of the
Pledged Funds, as provided herein. No Registered Owner shall ever have the right
to compel the exercise of the ad valorem taxing power of the County, the State
of Florida or any political subdivision thereof, or taxation in any form of any
real property therein, to pay the principal, interest or premium, if any, on the
Bonds, or be entitled to payment of such principal, interest or premium, if any,
from any funds of the County other than the Pledged Funds, as provided herein.
SECTION 15. SECURITY FOR AND CERTAIN COVENANTS AND PROVISIONS WITH RESPECT
TO THE BONDS. The payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
the Bonds shall be secured forthwith equally and ratably by a pledge of and first
lien upon the Pledged Funds (excluding the Half -Cent Sales Tax). The County does
hereby irrevocably pledge the Pledged Funds (excluding the Half -Cent Sales Tax)
to the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds,
to the extent and in the manner provided herein.
The principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds shall be
secured forthwith equally and ratably by a lien upon and a pledge of the Half -
14
Cent Sales Tax. The County hereby irrevocably pledges the Half -Cent Sales Tax
to the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds.
Such lien and pledge shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to the lien
upon and the pledge of the Half -Cent Sales Tax to the payment of the principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on the bonds, now outstanding or hereafter
issued, under the Sales Tax Resolution.
The County shall be obligated to take all lawful action necessary or
required to continue to be entitled to receive the Half -Cent Sales Tax.
The County hereby covenants that it will not issue any additional
installments of bonds authorized under the Sales Tax Resolution or any additional
parity obligations under the Sales Tax Resolution unless there shall have been
obtained and filed with the County a certificate of the Accountant stating and
setting forth the same information as required by Section 17J(1) of the Sales Tax
Resolution, except that for purposes of said certificate the Maximum Debt Service
Requirement shall include the maximum amount of principal and interest on all
outstanding Bonds becoming due in any ensuing Fiscal Year and Sales Tax receipts
shall include Race Track Funds and Jai Alai Fronton Funds. However, said
certificate shall not be required if compliance with the first paragraph of said
Section 17J(1) is not required.
If at any time hereafter there are no bonds outstanding under the Sales Tax
Resolution and the County covenants not to thereafter issue any bonds under the
Sales Tax Resolution, then the foregoing lien upon and pledge of the Half -Cent
Sales Tax shall no longer be in effect and the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Bonds shall thereafter be secured forthwith equally and ratably
by a first lien upon and pledge of fourteen percent (148) of the Half -Cent Sales
Tax. The County in such event hereby irrevocably pledges said fourteen percent
(148) of the Half -Cent Sales Tax to the payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on the Bonds.
In each Fiscal Year the Half -Cent Sales Tax available after the application
of the Sales Tax Resolution and the Racetrack and Jai Alai Fronton Funds shall
be used to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds in
such Fiscal Year to the extent that amounts in the Sinking Fund (other than in
the Reserve Account) are insufficient to make such payments. To the extent that
the Half -Cent Sales Tax and the Racetrack and Jai Alai Fronton Funds received by
the County in any Fiscal Year are not required for the payment of the principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds in such Fiscal Year, they may be
used by the County for any lawful purpose.
The Half -Cent Sales Tax and the Racetrack and Jai Alai Fronton Funds liened
and pledged hereunder may be invested and reinvested only in Authorized
Investments maturing not later than the date on which the same will be needed for
the purposes therefor. Any and all income received by the County from such
investments may be used by the County for any lawful purpose.
The foregoing covenants and provisions shall be no longer in effect when
no Bonds are outstanding or when all of the Bonds have been defeased pursuant to
Section 28.
Nothing in this Resolution shall constitute or be construed to constitute
a conveyance or mortgage of the Recreational Facilities.

with the amount of any deficiency in prior deposits for interest on
Bonds, and one -twelfth (1/12th) (or such other appropriate equal
monthly portion) of the principal of Bonds to mature on the next

the purchase and tender of Term Bonds in lieu of mandatory

tendered to the Paying Agent in lieu of mandatory redemption on such
date (as and to the extent not prohibited under the terms of the
particular series of Bonds), if any.
(4) Fourth, the County shall deposit into an account in the Sinking Fund
to be known as the "Reserve Account", which is hereby created and
established, a sum sufficient to increase the amount on deposit in the
16
Reserve Account to the Reserve Account Requirement; Provided, however, in
no Fiscal Year shall Net Revenues in excess of twenty percent (208) of the
Reserve Account Requirement be required to be deposited in the Reserve
Account, except as may be required by subsection L or subsection S below.
No further deposits shall be required to be made into the Reserve Account
as long as there shall remain on deposit therein (including any Reserve
Account Credit Instrument as described below) a sum equal to the Reserve
Account Requirement.
A sum to be specified by subsequent resolution of the County may be
deposited in the Reserve Account out of the proceeds of the sale of Bonds.
The value of the Reserve Account, including investments on deposit in the
Reserve Account, shall be determined as described in Exhibit A.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in lieu of, in whole or in
part, the required deposits into the Reserve Account, the County may
cause to be deposited into the Reserve Account any of the following
(each a "Reserve Account Credit Instrument"):
(a) A surety bond or insurance policy issued to
the Paying Agent, as agent of the Bondholders, by a
company licensed to issue an insurance policy
guaranteeing the timely payment of debt service on the
Bonds (a "municipal bond insurer"), if the claims paying
ability of the issuer thereof, at the time of issuance
thereof, shall be rated "AAA" by Standard & Poor's
Corporation or its successor ("S&P") and "Aaa" by
Moody's Investors Service or its successor ("Moody's");
(b) A surety bond or insurance policy issued to
the Paying Agent, as agent of the Bondholders, by an
entity other than a municipal bond insurer, if the form
and substance of such instrument and the issuer thereof
shall be approved by the Series 1993 Bond Insurer; or
(c) An unconditional irrevocable letter of
credit issued to the Paying Agent, as agent of the
Bondholders, by a bank, if such bank is rated at least
"AA" by S&P and "Aa" by Moody's, at the time of issuance
thereof.
Any such Reserve Account Credit Instrument shall meet the further
terms and conditions described in subsection S below and shall be
payable or available to be drawn upon, as the case may be (upon the
giving of notice as required thereunder), by the Paying Agent on any
interest payment date on which a deficiency exists which cannot be
cured by money in any other fund or account held pursuant hereto and
available for such purpose. It shall be the duty of the Paying
Agent to, and the Paying Agent shall, without further authorization
or direction from the County, ascertain the necessity for a claim or
draw upon any Reserve Account Credit Instrument and provide notice
to the issuer of the Reserve Account Credit Instrument in accordance
with its terms not later than three days (or such appropriate time
period as will, when combined with the timing of required payment
under the Reserve Account Credit Instrument, ensure payment under
17
the Reserve Account Credit Instrument on or before the interest
payment date) prior to each interest payment date. If a
disbursement is made under any such Reserve Account Credit
Instrument, the County may reinstate the maximum limits of such
Reserve Account Credit Instrument immediately following such
disbursement, otherwise the amount of credit toward the Reserve
Account Requirement for such Reserve Account Credit Instrument shall
be appropriately reduced.
Furthermore, the County may at any time and from time to time cause
to be deposited in the Reserve Account such a Reserve Account Credit
Instrument and cause an appropriate amount to be withdrawn from the
Reserve Account and deposited in the Revenue Fund.
Moneys in the Reserve Account shall be used only for the purpose of
the payment of principal of or interest on Bonds as the same shall
become due and payable when the other moneys in the Sinking Fund are
insufficient therefor, and for no other purpose. However, upon the
valuation of the Reserve Account in each year, if the moneys on
deposit in the Reserve Account (except the investment income
thereon) exceed the amount required, such excess may be withdrawn
and deposited in the Revenue Fund. If the Reserve Account
Requirement shall at any time be satisfied in whole or in part with
a qualifying letter of credit and such letter of credit is about to
expire or terminate, the County hereby authorizes and directs the
Paying Agent to draw upon such letter of credit prior to its
expiration or termination to the extent required to fully fund the
Reserve Account Requirement unless a replacement Reserve Account
Credit Instrument is in place or the Reserve Account is otherwise
fully funded in its required amount.
(5) Fifth, the County shall from time to time transfer to the
Series 1993 Rebate Account and other similar accounts established with
respect to any Additional Parity Bonds amounts required or estimated to be
required for the purposes thereof.
(6) Sixth, the County shall apply an amount sufficient for
the payment of current debt service and reserve requirements with
respect to any obligations of the County which have a lien on the
Pledged Funds junior and subordinate to the lien of the Bonds.
(7) Seventh, the County may deposit into the "Recreational
Facilities Improvement Fund" (herein the "Improvement Fund"), which
is hereby created and established, an amount to be determined by the
County Administrator to be used only for the purpose of paying the
costs of extraordinary repairs, renewals, replacements,
improvements, additions and expansions with respect to the
Recreational Facilities. Money on deposit in the Improvement Fund
may be withdrawn only upon the authorization of the County
Administrator.
(8) Eighth, the balance of any moneys remaining in the Revenue
Fund after the above required payments have been made may be used by the
County for any lawful purpose.
18
No further deposits to the Sinking Fund, the Bond Amortization Account or
the Reserve Account shall be required when the aggregate sums deposited therein
are and remain at least equal to the sum of all of the principal and interest
then due and thereafter becoming due in all ensuing years for the Bonds then
outstanding.
C. PLEDGED FUNDS AND INVESTMENT OF FUNDS. The Revenue Fund, the Sinking
Fund, the Bond Amortization Account and the Reserve Account shall be Pledged
Funds, shall constitute trust funds for the purposes provided herein for such
funds and shall be used only for the purposes and in the manner provided herein.
All moneys in all funds and accounts created or established hereunder shall be
continuously secured in the manner by which deposits of public funds are required
to be secured by the laws of the State of Florida. Moneys on deposit in the
Revenue Fund and the Sinking Fund (except the Reserve Account therein) may be
invested and reinvested only in Authorized Investments maturing not later than
the date on which the moneys therein will be needed for the purposes of such
funds. Moneys in the Reserve Account may be invested and reinvested in
Authorized Investments maturing not later than ten (10) years from the date of
purchase.
Except as may be provided in a resolution adopted in connection with the
issuance of Additional Parity Bonds, any and all income received by the County
from such investments shall be deposited into the Revenue Fund.
D. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE. The County will maintain the Recreational
Facilities and all parts thereof in good condition and will operate the same in
an efficient and economical manner, making such expenditures for equipment and
for renewals, repairs and replacements as may be proper for the economical
operation and maintenance thereof.
E. RATE COVENANT. The County shall, to the extent practicable, fix,
establish, revise from time to time whenever necessary, maintain and collect such
fees, rates, rentals and other charges for the use of the services of the
Recreational Facilities so as to provide Net Revenues in each Fiscal Year
sufficient to pay (a) one hundred percent (1009) of all required deposits into
the Reserve Account, and (b) one hundred percent (1009) of the amount of
principal and interest becoming due in such Fiscal Year on the Bonds outstanding.
For purposes of this subsection, any amounts owed by the County to the
issuer of a Reserve Account Credit Instrument as a result of a draw thereon, as
appropriate, shall be added to the principal and interest payable on the Bonds
to determine compliance with this rate covenant.
F. BOOKS AND RECORDS. The County shall keep proper books, records and
accounts, showing correct and complete entries of all transactions of the County
relating to the Recreational Facilities and the Pledged Funds. Registered Owners
of the Bonds shall have the right at all reasonable times to inspect all books,
records and accounts of the County relating to the Recreational Facilities and
the Pledged Funds.
G. ANNUAL AUDIT. The County shall also, at least once a year, within 180
days after the close of its Fiscal Year, cause the books, records and accounts
relating to the Recreational Facilities and the Pledged Funds to be audited by
a independent firm of certified public accountants. A copy of such annual audits
shall be furnished to any Registered Owner of the Bonds who shall have requested
in writing that a copy of such audits be furnished him.
19
H. NO MORTGAGE OR SALE OF THE SYSTEM. The County will not mortgage,
pledge or otherwise encumber the Recreational Facilities or any part thereof, or
any Gross Revenues to be derived therefrom, and will not sell, lease or otherwise
dispose of any substantial portion of the Recreational Facilities, except as
provided herein.
The County may sell, lease or otherwise dispose of a substantial portion
of the Recreational Facilities in the event that (a) such portion is determined
by resolution of the Board, upon the recommendation of the County Administrator
and the Qualified Independent Consultant, to be no longer necessary or useful or
profitable for the Recreational Facilities; and (b) the sale, lease or other
disposition of such portion is determined by resolution of the Board, upon
recommendation of the County Administrator and the Qualified Independent
Consultant, not to impair the ability of the County to comply during the current
or any future Fiscal Year with the rate covenant set forth herein.
The proceeds derived from any sale, lease or other disposition (including
condemnation) of a substantial portion of the Recreational Facilities shall be
used for the retirement of outstanding Bonds. The proceeds derived from the
sale, lease or other disposition (including condemnation) of less than a
substantial portion of the Recreational Facilities shall be placed in the
Improvement Fund, provided, however, all or a portion of such proceeds may be
used for the retirement of outstanding Bonds if authorized by resolution of the
Board upon the recommendation of the County Administrator and the Qualified
Independent Consultant.
I. INSURANCE. To the extent practicable, the County will carry adequate
fire and windstorm insurance on all buildings, structures and other appropriate
properties of the Recreational Facilities which are subject to loss through fire
or windstorm, will carry adequate public liability insurance, and will otherwise
carry insurance of all kinds and in the amounts normally carried in the operation
of similar facilities and properties in Florida. Any such insurance shall be
carried for the benefit of the Registered Owners of the Bonds. All moneys
received from losses under any of such insurance, except public liability, are
hereby pledged by the County as security for the Bonds, until and unless such
proceeds are used to remedy the loss or damage for which such proceeds are
received, in which event the repairing of the property damaged or the replacement
of the property destroyed shall be commenced within a reasonable time after the
receipt of such proceeds and shall proceed on a reasonable and continuous basis.
J. NO FREE USE. The County shall not furnish or supply the facilities
or services of the Recreational Facilities free of charge to any person, firm or
corporation, public or private.
K. REMEDIES. Any Registered Owner may by suit, action, mandamus or other
proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction, protect and enforce any and
all rights, including the right to the appointment of a receiver, existing under
the laws of the State of Florida, and may enforce and compel the performance of
all duties required hereunder or by any applicable statutes to be performed by
the County or by any officer thereof.
Nothing herein, however, shall be construed to grant to any Registered
Owner any lien on any property of or in the County, except in the manner and to
the extent provided herein.
20
L. ADDITIONAL PARITY BONDS. No Additional Parity Bonds, payable on a
parity from the Pledged Funds with the Bonds, may be issued hereunder, except for
the purpose of refunding outstanding Bonds, but no refunding may be undertaken
in accordance with this provision if it shall result in an increase in the
maximum amount of principal and interest on all outstanding Bonds becoming due
in any ensuing Fiscal Year.
Each resolution authorizing the issuance of Additional Parity Bonds shall
recite that all of the covenants herein contained will be applicable to such
Additional Parity Bonds.
Additional Parity Bonds may not be issued hereunder at any time while the
County is in default in performing any of the covenants and obligations assumed
hereunder, or all payments herein required to have been made into the accounts
and funds, as provided hereunder, have not been made to the full extent required.
The County covenants for the benefit of the Registered Owners of the Bonds
issued and outstanding hereunder that the County shall, at the time of issuance
of any Additional Parity Bonds, make a deposit to the Reserve Account in the
Sinking Fund created hereunder so that the Reserve Account shall have a value of
cash and investments at such time equal to the Reserve Account Requirement
(giving effect to the Additional Parity Bonds and the retirement of any Bonds
being refunded with proceeds of the Additional Parity Bonds), unless at such time
all or a portion of the Series 1993 Bonds are outstanding and the Series 1993
Bond Insurer shall agree otherwise. Provided, however, in no event shall such
deposit be required to exceed an amount equal to the maximum amount which if
deposited from the proceeds of the Additional Parity Bonds would not adversely
affect the exclusion of the interest on the Additional Parity Bonds from the
gross income of the Registered Owners thereof for purposes of federal income
taxation.
M. ISSUANCE OF OTHER OBLIGATIONS. The County will not issue any other
obligations, except under the conditions and in the manner provided herein,
payable from the Pledged Funds, nor voluntarily create or cause to be created any
debt, lien, pledge, assignment, encumbrance or other charge having priority to
or being on a parity with the lien of the Bonds upon the Pledged Funds, except
as specifically provided herein. The County may issue obligations other than the
Bonds payable from the Pledged Funds provided such obligations are junior and
subordinate in all respect to the Bonds as to lien on and source and security for
payment from the Pledged Funds and such obligations contain an express statement
to that effect.
N. ARBITRAGE. The County covenants to and with purchasers of the issue
which is comprised of the Series 1993 Bonds that it will make no use of the
proceeds of such issue which will cause the Series 1993 Bonds to be or become
"arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 103(b)(2) and Section 148 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") or any applicable
regulations implementing said Sections and the County further covenants to comply
with all other requirements of the Code and any applicable regulations
promulgated thereunder if and to the extent applicable to maintain continuously
the exclusion from gross income for Federal income tax purposes of the interest
on the Series 1993 Bonds.
O. FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS. The designation and establishment of the various
funds and accounts created herein does not require the establishment of any
completely independent, self -balancing funds as such term is commonly defined and
21
used in governmental accounting, but rather is intended solely to constitute an
earmarking of certain revenues and assets as provided herein.
P. POWER TO ISSUE BONDS AND PLEDGE PLEDGED FUNDS. The County is duly
authorized under all applicable laws to create and issue the Bonds and to adopt
this Resolution and to pledge the Pledged Funds in the manner and to the extent
provided herein. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Resolution and
the Sales Tax Resolution, the Pledged Funds have not been pledged or hypothecated
(except with respect to the Retired Bonds which are to be retired with proceeds
of the Series 1993 Bonds) and, upon issuance of the Series 1993 Bonds, will be
free and clear of any pledge, lien, charge or encumbrance thereon or with respect
thereto prior to, or of equal rank with, the security interest, pledge and
assignment created by this Resolution, including any pledge thereof for the
benefit of the Retired Bonds, and all action on the part of the County to that
end has been and will be duly and validly taken. The Bonds and the provisions
of this Resolution are and will be valid and legally enforceable obligations of
the County in accordance with their terms and the terms of this Resolution. The
County shall at all times, to the extent permitted by law, defend, preserve and
protect the pledge of and lien upon the Pledged Funds and all the rights of the
Registered Owners under this Resolution against all claims and demands of all
persons whomsoever.
Q. BONDS SECURED BY PLEDGE OF PLEDGED FUNDS. The Bonds issued hereunder
shall be direct and special obligations of the County payable in accordance with
their terms and the provisions of this Resolution from the Pledged Funds hereby
pledged for the benefit of the Registered Owners, to the extent and in the manner
provided herein.
The Pledged Funds shall be held in trust by the Clerk of the Circuit Court
of the County for the benefit of the Registered Owners of the Bonds to the extent
and in the manner provided herein.
The Pledged Funds shall immediately be subject to the lien and charge of
this Resolution without any physical delivery thereof or further act, and the
lien and charge of this Resolution shall be valid and binding as against all
parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract or otherwise, against the
County, irrespective of whether such parties have notice thereof.
R. TAX COVENANTS. The County covenants that it will not take any action
or fail to take any action with respect to the proceeds of the Bonds that would
result in loss of the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes
pursuant to section 103(a) of the Code of interest paid on outstanding Bonds
which, when initially issued and sold, were the subject of an opinion of counsel
to the effect that interest thereon was so excludable.
S. FURTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESERVE ACCOUNT CREDIT INSTRUMENTS.
The further terms and conditions upon which the Reserve Account Requirement set
forth in subsection B(4) above may be met in whole or in part with a Reserve
Account Credit Instrument are, unless all or a portion of the Series 1993 Bonds
are outstanding and the Series 1993 Bond Insurer agrees otherwise, as follows:
(1) With respect to any letter of credit:
(a) such letter of credit shall be payable in one
or more draws upon presentation by the Paying Agent of
a sight draft accompanied by its certificate that it
22

Account Credit Instrument for any fees or expenses or claims or
draws upon such Reserve Account Credit Instrument shall be
subordinate to the payment of debt service on the Bonds. The right
of the issuer of a Reserve Account Credit Instrument to payment or
reimbursement of its fees and expenses shall be subordinated to cash
replenishment of the Reserve Account, and, subject to the second
succeeding sentence, its right to reimbursement for claims or draws
shall be on a parity with the cash replenishment of the Reserve
Account. The Reserve Account Credit Instrument shall provide for a
revolving feature under which the amount available thereunder will
be reinstated to the extent of any reimbursement of draws or claims
paid. If the revolving feature is suspended or terminated for any
reason, the right of the issuer of the Reserve Account Credit
Instrument to reimbursement will be further subordinated to cash
replenishment of the Reserve Account to an amount equal to the
difference between the full original amount available under the
Reserve Account Credit Instrument and the amount then available for
further draws or claims. In the event (a) the issuer of a Reserve
Account Credit Instrument becomes insolvent, or (b) the issuer of a
Reserve Account Credit Instrument defaults in its payment
obligations thereunder, or (c) the rating of the claims paying
ability of the issuer of the insurance policy or surety bond falls
below "AAA" by S&P and "Aaa" by Moody's, or (d) the rating of the
issuer of the letter of credit falls below "AA" by S&P and "Aa" by
Moody's, the obligation to reimburse the issuer of the Reserve
Account Credit Instrument shall be subordinate to the cash
replenishment of the Reserve Account.
(4) In the event (a) the revolving reinstatement feature
described in the preceding subparagraph (3) is suspended or
terminated, or (b) the rating of the claims paying ability of the
issuer of the surety bond or insurance policy falls below "AAA" by
S&P and "Aaa" by Moody's, or (c) the rating of the issuer of the
letter of credit falls below "AA" by S&P and "Aa" by Moody's, the
Issuer shall either (i) deposit into the Reserve Account an amount
sufficient to cause the cash or permitted investments on deposit in
the Reserve Account to equal the Reserve Account Requirement, such
amount to be paid over the ensuing five years in equal installments
deposited at least semi-annually or (ii) replace such instrument
with another Reserve Account Credit Instrument within six months of
such occurrence. In the event (a) the rating of the claims -paying
ability of the issuer of the surety bond or insurance policy falls
below "A", or (b) the rating of the issuer of the letter of credit
falls below "A", or (c) the issuer of the Reserve Account Credit
Instrument defaults in its payment obligations hereunder, or (d) the
issuer of the Reserve Account Credit Instrument becomes insolvent,
the County shall either (i) deposit into the Reserve Account an
amount sufficient to cause the cash or permitted investments on
deposit in the Reserve Account to equal the Reserve Account
Requirement, such amount to be paid over the ensuing year in equal
installments on at least a monthly basis, or (ii) replace such
instrument with another Reserve Account Credit Instrument within six
months of such occurrence.
24
then holds insufficient funds to make a required payment
of principal or interest on the Bonds;
(b) the draws shall be payable within two days
of presentation of the sight draft;
(c) the letter of credit shall be for a term of
not less than three years and shall be subject to an
"evergreening" feature so as to provide the County with
at least 30 months' notice of termination; the issuer of
the letter of credit shall be required to notify the
County and the Paying Agent not later than 30 months
prior to the stated expiration date of the letter of
credit as to whether such expiration date shall be
extended, and if so, shall indicate the new expiration
date.
If such notice indicates that the expiration date
shall not be extended, the County shall deposit in the
Reserve Account an amount sufficient to cause the cash
or permitted investments on deposit in the Reserve
Account, together with any other qualifying Reserve
Account Credit Instruments, to equal the Reserve Account
Requirement, such deposit to be paid in equal
installments on a least a semi-annual basis over the
remaining term of the letter of credit, unless the
Reserve Account Credit Instrument is replaced by another
Reserve Account Credit Instrument permitted hereunder;
and
(d) The letter of credit shall permit a draw in
full prior to the expiration or termination of such
letter of credit if the letter of credit has not been
replaced or renewed.
(2) The use of any Reserve Account Credit Instrument shall
be subject to receipt of an opinion of counsel acceptable to the
Series 1993 Bond Insurer in form and substance satisfactory to the
Series 1993 Bond Insurer as to the due authorization, execution,
delivery and enforceability of such instrument in accordance with
its terms, subject to applicable laws affecting creditors' rights
generally, and, in the event the issuer of such credit instrument is
not a domestic entity, an opinion of foreign counsel in form and
substance satisfactory to the Series 1993 Bond Insurer. In
addition, the use of an irrevocable letter of credit shall be
subject to receipt of an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Bond
Insurer in form and substance satisfactory to the Series 1993 Bond
Insurer to the effect that payments under such letter of credit
would not constitute avoidable preferences under Section 547 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code or similar Florida laws with avoidable
preference provisions in the event of the filing of a petition for
relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code or similar Florida
laws by or against the County (or any other account party under the
letter of credit).
23
(5) Where applicable, the amount available for draws or
claims under a Reserve Account Credit Instrument may be reduced by
the amount of cash or permitted investments deposited in the Reserve
Account pursuant to either clause (i) of the preceding subparagraph
(4).
(6) Cash on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be used (or
investments purchased with such cash shall be liquidated and the
proceeds applied as required) prior to any drawing on any Reserve
Account Credit Instrument. If and to the extent that more than one
Reserve Account Credit Instrument is deposited in the Reserve
Account, drawings thereunder and repayments of costs associated
therewith shall be made on a pro rata basis, calculated by reference
to the maximum amounts available thereunder.
T. VARIABLE RATE OBLIGATIONS. If the County at any time shall issue
Additional Parity Bonds, the interest rate on which is not established at the
time of issuance at a single numerical rate with respect to each maturity thereof
("Variable Rate Bonds"), then such Variable Rate Bonds shall, for purposes of
this Resolution, save for the provisions with respect to payment of interest
thereon to the holders and registered owners thereof, be assumed to bear interest
at a fixed rate equal to the higher of (a) 1108 of the current interest rate on
the Variable Rate Bonds; or (b) the Bond Buyer 20 General Obligation Bond Index
for the last week of the month preceding the date of sale of the Variable Rate
Bonds.
SECTION 17. SERIES 1993 FUNDS AND ACCOUNT. There is hereby created and
established the "Series 1993 Sinking Fund" within the Sinking Fund, the "Series
1993 Bond Amortization Fund" within the Bond Amortization Fund and the "Series
1993 Reserve Account" within the Reserve Account. The Series 1993 Sinking Fund,
the Series 1993 Bond Amortization Fund and the Series 1993 Reserve Account shall
not in any manner whatsoever affect the parity of the Bonds and are established
solely for the accounting convenience of the County. Revenues and other amounts
deposited in the Sinking Fund allocable to the Series 1993 Bonds shall be held
in the Series 1993 Sinking Fund. Revenues and other amounts deposited in the
Bond Amortization Fund allocable to the Series 1993 Bonds shall be held in the
Series 1993 Bond Amortization Fund. Revenues and other amounts deposited in the
Reserve Account allocable to the Series 1993 Bonds shall be held in the Series
1993 Reserve Account.
SECTION 18. APPLICATION OF SERIES 1993 BOND PROCEEDS. All moneys
received from the sale of the Series 1993 Bonds shall be deposited and applied
by the County as follows:
A. All accrued interest shall be deposited into the Series 1993 Sinking
Fund and applied exclusively for the payment of interest first becoming due on
the Series 1993 Bonds.
B. A sum, if any, specified by subsequent resolution of the Board shall
be deposited into the Series 1993 Reserve Account in the Sinking Fund.
C. An amount to be specified by subsequent resolution of the Board shall
be applied in connection with the retirement of Retired Bonds as specified by
subsequent resolution of the Board.
25
D. The amount necessary to pay all costs and expenses associated with
financial reports, studies and projections, legal fees, accountant's fees, fees
of financial advisors, printing expenses, premiums and expenses related to
insuring or rating the Series 1993 Bonds and all other similar costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the issuance of the Series 1993 Bonds and the
retirement of the Retired Bonds shall be paid or provided for.
E. The balance remaining, if any, after making all the deposits and
payments provided for above shall be deposited into the Series 1993 Sinking Fund
and used only for the purpose of paying the principal of and interest on the
Series 1993 Bonds which first become payable.
SECTION 19. REBATE. Anything to the contrary contained herein
notwithstanding, the County shall from time to time transfer into the "Series
1993 Rebate Account" which is hereby created and established amounts sufficient
to pay to the United States of America all amounts due with respect to the Series
1993 Bonds under the provisions of Section 148 (f) of the Code. The earnings on
the Series 1993 Rebate Account shall be added to and become a part of the 1993
Rebate Account. Moneys in the Series 1993 Rebate Account shall only be used to
pay the amounts due to the United States of America under said Section of the
Code with respect to the Series 1993 Bonds as the same shall become due and
payable; provided, however, if the County shall determin that the amounts in the
Series 1993 Rebate Account are in excess of the amounts sufficient for such
payments, the County may transfer such excess to the Revenue Fund. It is the
intent of this paragraph to provide for payment of all amounts due under said
Section of the Code with respect to the Series 1993 Bonds, in such installments
and at such times as may be required by said Section of the Code. In the event
of any amendment to the Code or the promulgation of regulations under the Code
which provide or require otherwise than as provided or required in this
paragraph, this paragraph shall be deemed to be amended to incorporate such
amendments or regulations, to the extent applicable, and any provisions hereof
which conflict with the provisions thereof shall be deemed to be null and void.
SECTION 20. SALE OF THE SERIES 1993 BONDS. The Series 1993 Bonds may be
sold at public or private sale pursuant to the Act, all at one time or from time
to time, as shall be provided by subsequent resolution of the Board.
SECTION 21. ADDITIONAL COVENANTS RELATING TO THE SERIES 1993 BOND
INSURANCE POLICY. So long as the Series 1993 Bond Insurance Policy is in effect
and the Series 1993 Bond Insurer is not in default under the Series 1993 Bond
Insurance Policy, bankrupt, insolvent or in receivership, the County shall
observe the following covenants:
A. The County shall furnish the following to the Series 1993 Bond Insurer:
(1) as soon as practicable after the filing
thereof, a copy of any financial statement of the County
and a copy of any audit and annual report of the County;
(2) a copy of any notice to be given to the
Registered Owners of Series 1993 Bonds, including,
without limitation, notice of any redemption of or
defeasance of the Series 1993 Bonds, and any certificate
rendered pursuant hereto relating to the security for
the Series 1993 Bonds; and
26
(3) such additional information the Series 1993
Bond Insurer may reasonably request.
B. The County shall notify the Series 1993 Bond Insurer of any failure of
the County to provide any of the items enumerated in paragraphs (1) or (2) of
subsection A of this Section.
C. The County will permit the Series 1993 Bond Insurer to discuss the
affairs, finances and accounts of the County or any information the Series 1993
Bond Insurer may reasonably request regarding the security for the Series 1993
Bonds with appropriate officers of the County. The County will permit the Series
1993 Bond Insurer to have access to the Recreational Facilities and to have
access to and to make copies of all books and records relating to the Series 1993
Bonds at any reasonable time.
D. The Series 1993 Bond Insurer shall have the right to direct an
accounting of the Pledged Funds and other funds and revenues pledged as security
for the Series 1993 Bonds, at the County's expense, and the County's failure to
comply with such direction within thirty (30) days after receipt of written
notice of the direction from the Series 1993 Bond Insurer shall be deemed a
default hereunder; provided, however, that if compliance cannot occur within such
period, then such period will be extended if compliance is begun within such
period and diligently pursued, but only if such extension would not materially
adversely affect the interests of any Registered Owner of any of the Series 1993
Bonds,
E. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution, the County
shall immediately notify the Series 1993 Bond Insurer if at any time there are
insufficient moneys to make any payments of principal and/or interest as required
and immediately upon the occurrence of any event of default hereunder.
F. Any provision of hereof expressly recognizing or granting rights in or
to the Series 1993 Bond Insurer may not be amended in any manner which affects
the rights of the Series 1993 Bond Insurer without the prior written consent of
the Series 1993 Bond Insurer.
G. Unless otherwise provided in this Section, the Series 1993 Bond
Insurer's consent shall be required whenever consent of the holders of the Series
1993 Bonds is required for any of the following purposes: (i) execution and
delivery of any amendment, supplement or change to or modification of this
Resolution; (ii) removal of the Paying Agent and selection and appointment of any
successor paying agent; and (iii) initiation or approval of any action not
described in (i) or (ii) above which requires consent of holders of the Series

SECTION 22. CONCERNING THE PAYING AGENT FOR THE SERIES 1993 BONDS. The
County covenants and agrees that while any of the Series 1993 Bonds are
outstanding and all such bonds have not been defeased in accordance herewith, the
Series 1993 Bond Insurance Policy is in effect, and the Series 1993 Bond Insurer
is not in default under the Series 1993 Bond Insurance Policy, bankrupt,
insolvent or in receivership, the following covenants shall be observed:
A. The Paying Agent may be removed at any time, at the request of the
Series 1993 Bond Insurer, for any breach of the duties set forth in this
Resolution.
27

C. No successor Paying Agent shall be appointed unless the Series 1993
Bond Insurer approves the selection of such successor in writing.

SECTION 23. SERIES 1993 BOND INSURER MAY CONTROL PROCEEDINGS. Anything
in this Resolution to the contrary notwithstanding, while the Series 1993 Bond
Insurance Policy is in effect, any of the Series 1993 Bonds are outstanding and
have not been defeased in accordance herewith, and the Series 1993 Bond Insurer
is not in default with respect to the Series 1993 Bond Insurance Policy,
bankrupt, insolvent or in receivership, then upon default by the County as to
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on Series 1993 Bonds
when and as the same become due upon maturity, any earlier redemption, or
otherwise, or as to the observance of any covenant of this Resolution, the Series
1993 Bond Insurer shall be entitled to control and direct the enforcement of all
rights and remedies granted to the holders of Series 1993 Bonds or the Paying
Agent for the benefit of the holders of Series 1993 Bonds under this Resolution.
SECTION 24. PROCEDURE FOR PAYMENT OF SERIES 1993 BONDS PURSUANT TO THE
SERIES 1993 BOND INSURANCE POLICY. While the Series 1993 Bond Insurance Policy
is in effect and any Series 1993 Bonds insured thereunder (herein, the "Series
1993 Insured Bonds") remain outstanding, the County and the Bond Registrar and
the Paying Agent for any Series 1993 Insured Bonds agree to comply with the
following provisions:
A. At least one (1) day prior to all interest payment dates for Series
1993 Insured Bonds, the Paying Agent will determine whether there will be
sufficient available funds in the Funds and Accounts maintained by the County or
the Paying Agent under this Resolution to pay the principal of or interest on the
Series 1993 Insured Bonds on such interest payment date. If the Paying Agent
determines that there will be insufficient funds in such Funds or Accounts, the
Paying Agent shall so notify the Series 1993 Bond Insurer and the Bond Registrar.
Such notice shall specify the amount of the anticipated deficiency, the Series
1993 Insured Bonds to which such deficiency is applicable and whether such Series
1993 Insured Bonds will be deficient as to principal or interest, or both. If
the Paying Agent has not so notified the Series 1993 Bond Insurer at least one
(1) day prior to an interest payment date, the Series 1993 Bond Insurer will make
payments of principal or interest due on the Series 1993 Insured Bonds on or
before the first (1st) day next following the date on which the Series 1993 Bond
Insurer shall have received notice of nonpayment from the Paying Agent.
B. The Bond Registrar and the Paying Agent shall, after notice has been
given to the Series 1993 Bond Insurer as provided in A above, make available to
the Series 1993 Bond Insurer and, at the Series 1993 Bond Insurer's direction,
to the United States Trust Company of New York, as insurance trustee for the
Series 1993 Bond Insurer or any successor insurance trustee (the "Series 1993
Insurance Trustee"), the registration books of the County maintained by the Bond
Registrar and all records relating to the Funds and Accounts maintained under
this Resolution.
28
C. The Bond Registrar shall provide the Series 1993 Bond Insurer and the
Series 1993 Insurance Trustee with a list of registered owners of Series 1993
Bonds entitled to receive principal or interest payments from the Series 1993
Bond Insurer under the terms of the Series 1993 Bond Insurance Policy, and shall
make arrangements with the Series 1993 Insurance Trustee (i) to mail checks or
drafts to the registered owners of Bonds entitled to receive full or partial
interest payments from the Series 1993 Bond Insurer and (ii) to pay principal
upon Series 1993 Insured Bonds surrendered to the Series 1993 Insurance Trustee
by the registered owners of Series 1993 Bonds entitled to receive full or partial
principal payments from the Series 1993 Bond Insurer.
D. The Paying Agent shall, at the time it provides notice to the Series
1993 Bond Insurer pursuant to A above, notify registered owners of Series 1993
Bonds entitled to receive the payment of principal or interest thereon from the
Series 1993 Bond Insurer (i) as to the fact of such entitlement, (ii) that the
Series 1993 Bond Insurer will remit to them all or a part of the interest
payments next coming due upon proof of Bondholder entitlement to interest
payments and delivery to the Series 1993 Insurance Trustee, in form satisfactory
to the Series 1993 Insurance Trustee, of an appropriate assignment of the
registered owner's right to payment, (iii) that should they be entitled to
receive full payment of principal from the Series 1993 Bond Insurer, they must
surrender their Series 1993 Bonds (along with an appropriate instrument of
assignment in form satisfactory to the Series 1993 Insurance Trustee to permit
ownership of such Series 1993 Bonds to be registered in the name of the Series
1993 Bond Insurer) for payment to the Series 1993 Insurance Trustee, and not the
Paying Agent, and (iv) that should they be entitled to receive partial payment
of principal from the Series 1993 Bond Insurer, they must surrender their Series
1993 Bonds for payment thereon first to the Paying Agent, who shall note on such
Series 1993 Bonds the portion of the principal paid by the Paying Agent and then,
along with an appropriate instrument of assignment in form satisfactory to the
Series 1993 Insurance Trustee, to the Series 1993 Insurance Trustee, which will
then pay the unpaid portion of principal. The Bond Registrar shall take such
action as shall be appropriate to enable such notice to be given to Bondholders.
E. If the Paying Agent has notice that any payment of principal of or
interest on an Insured Bond which has become Due for Payment (as that phrase is
defined in the Series 1993 Bond Insurance Policy), and which is made to a
Bondholder by or on behalf of the County has been deemed a preferential transfer
and theretofore recovered from its registered owner pursuant to the United States
Bankruptcy Code by a trustee in bankruptcy in accordance with the final,
nonappealable order of a court having competent jurisdiction, the Paying Agent
shall, at the time the Series 1993 Bond Insurer is notified pursuant to A above,
notify all registered owners that in the event that any registered owner's
payment is so recovered, such registered owner will be entitled to payment from
the Series 1993 Bond Insurer to the extent of such recovery if sufficient funds
are not otherwise available, and the Paying Agent shall furnish to the Series
1993 Bond Insurer its records evidencing the payments of principal of and
interest on the Series 1993 Insured Bonds which have been made by the Paying
Agent and subsequently recovered from registered owners and the dates on which
such payments were made.
F. In addition to those rights granted to the Series 1993 Bond Insurer
under this Resolution, the Series 1993 Bond Insurer shall, to the extent it makes
payment of principal of or interest on Series 1993 Insured Bonds, become
subrogated to the rights of the recipients of such payments in accordance with
the terms of the Series 1993 Bond Insurance Policy, and to evidence such
29
subrogation (i) in the case of subrogation as to claims for past due interest,
the Bond Registrar shall note the Series 1993 Bond Insurer's rights as subrogee
on the registration books of the County maintained by the Bond Registrar, upon
receipt from the Series 1993 Bond Insurer of proof of the payment of interest
thereon to the registered owners of the Series 1993 Insured Bonds, and (ii) in
the case of subrogation as to claims for past due principal, the Bond Registrar,
shall note the Series 1993 Bond Insurer's rights as subrogee on the registration
books of the County maintained by the Bond Registrar, upon surrender of the
Series 1993 Insured Bonds by the registered owners thereof together with proof
of the payment of principal thereof.
SECTION 25. SUBROGATION RIGHTS OF SERIES 1993 BOND INSURER.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Resolution to the contrary, if the
principal and/or interest due on any Series 1993 Bonds insured by the Series 1993
Bond Insurance Policy shall be paid by the Series 1993 Bond Insurer pursuant to
the Series 1993 Bond Insurance Policy, such Series 1993 Bonds shall remain
outstanding for all purposes, shall not be defeased or otherwise satisfied by
such payment and shall not be considered paid by the County, and the assignment
and pledge of the Pledged Funds and all covenants, agreements and other
obligations of the County to the registered owners shall continue to exist and
shall run to the benefit of the Series 1993 Bond Insurer, and the Series 1993
Bond Insurer shall be subrogated to the rights of such registered owners.
SECTION 26. PARTIES IN INTEREST. Nothing in this Resolution, expressed
or implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon, or to give to, any
person or entity, other than the County, the Series 1993 Bond Insurer, the Paying
Agent (or Paying Agents, if applicable), and the registered owners of the Bonds,
any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Resolution or any covenant,
condition or stipulation therein contained, and all covenants, stipulations,
promises and agreements in this Resolution contained by and on behalf of the
County shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the County, the Series 1993
Bond Insurer, the Paying Agent (or Paying Agents, if applicable), and the
registered owners of the Bonds.
SECTION 27. INTERPRETATION OF RESOLUTION. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Resolution, in determining whether the rights of the
Bondholders will be adversely affected by any action taken pursuant to the terms
and provisions of this Resolution, the Paying Agent shall consider the effect on
the Bondholders as if there were no Series 1993 Bond Insurance Policy.
SECTION 28. DEFEASANCE. If at any time the County shall have paid, or
shall have made provision for payment of, the principal, interest and premiums,
if any, with respect to any of the Bonds or any series thereof, then, and in that
event, the pledge of and lien on the Pledged Funds in favor of the Registered
Owners of such Bonds or of such series, as the case may be, 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 or such series, as the
case may be, the principal of and interest on which will be sufficient to pay,
when due, the principal, interest and premiums, if any, on such Bonds or such
series, as applicable, shall be considered "provision for payment". For purposes
of this Section, amounts paid by the Series 1993 Bond Insurer under the Series
1993 Bond Insurance Policy shall not be deemed paid and shall be deemed due and
owing until paid by the County. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to
require the County to call any of the outstanding Bonds or any series thereof for
redemption prior to maturity pursuant to any applicable optional redemption
30
provisions, or to impair the discretion of the County in determining whether to
exercise any such option for early redemption.
SECTION 29. MODIFICATION OF RESOLUTION. No adverse material modification
or amendment of this Resolution, or of any resolution amendatory hereof or
supplemental hereto, 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
affected by such adverse material modification or amendment; provided, however,
that no modification or amendment shall permit a change in the maturity of any
Bonds or a reduction in the rate of interest thereon or in the amount of the
principal obligation thereof, or affect the unconditional promise of the County
to collect the receipts and revenues pledged hereunder, as herein provided, or
to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same shall become due
from the Pledged Funds or reduce the percentage required above for an adverse
material modification or amendment, without the consent of the Registered Owners
of all of the Bonds affected thereby. The foregoing shall not apply with respect
to supplemental resolutions adopted for the sole purpose of issuing Additional
Parity Bonds or junior and subordinate obligations issued in accordance herewith.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect to any modification or
amendment requiring the consent of the Registered Owners of all of the Bonds
affected thereby, to the extent that any Bonds are insured by a policy of
municipal bond insurance and such Bonds are then rated in one of the two highest
rating categories (without regard to gradation) by either Standard & Poor's
Corporation or Moody's Investors Service, Inc., or the successor of either of
them, then the consent of the issuer of such municipal bond insurance policy
shall be deemed to constitute the consent of the Registered Owners of such Bonds;
provided, however, a copy of such modification or amendment shall be provided to
said rating agencies not less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date
thereof.
SECTION 30. SEVERABILITY. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements
or provisions of this Resolution shall be held contrary to any express provision
of law or contrary to the policy of express law, though not expressly prohibited,
or against public policy, or shall for any reason whatsoever be held invalid,
then such covenants, agreements or provisions shall be null and void and shall
be deemed separate from the remaining covenants, agreements and provisions
hereof, and shall in no way affect the validity thereof or of the Bonds issued
hereunder.
SECTION 31. REPEALER. All resolutions or parts of resolutions in conflict
with this Resolution or any part hereof are, to the extent of such conflict,
hereby repealed.
SECTION 32. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Resolution shall take effect immediately
upon its adoption.

SUITE 301

BOCA RATON, FLORIDA 33432
Re: Indian River County, Florida
$ Aggregate Principal Amount of
Recreational Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1993
Dated as of 1993
OPINION
We have acted as Bond Counsel in connection with the authorization, sale,
issuance and delivery of the Recreational Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1993,
dated as of _ , 1993, in the aggregate principal amount of
$ (the "Series 1993 Bonds"), of Indian River County, Florida (the
"County"). The Series 1993 Bonds are issued under the Resolution hereinafter
defined. No other bonds of the County have been issued and are currently
outstanding under the Resolution. The Series 1993 Bonds and any Additional
Parity Bonds hereafter issued under the Resolution are herein referred to as the
"Bonds".
The Series 1993 Bonds are issued pursuant to the Constitution and laws of
the State of Florida, particularly Chapter 125, Florida Statutes, 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. 93-
, duly adopted by the Board on _ , 1993, as the same may be amended and
supplemented (the "Resolution"), and other applicable provisions of law.
Under the Resolution, First Union National Bank of Florida, Jacksonville,
Florida (the "Paying Agent"), has been appointed as paying agent and registrar
for the Series 1993 Bonds.
The County, pursuant to power and authority vested in it by law, has
determined to retire the Retired Bonds, as defined in the Resolution.
The Resolution provides that the proceeds of the Series 1993 Bonds,
together with other available funds of the County, are to be used for the
following purposes, inter alis: (i) to retire the Retired Bonds; (ii) to make a
deposit into the reserve account established under the Resolution; and (iii) to
pay certain costs and expenses of issuance of the Series 1993 Bonds and
retirement of the Retired Bonds, all as more fully provided in the Resolution.
The Resolution 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 alia, to preserve the exclusion of
interest on the Series 1993 Bonds from gross income for federal income tax
purposes.
The principal of, interest and premium, if any, on the Bonds are payable
from and secured by (1) a first lien upon and pledge of, inter alia, the Net
Revenues from the operation of the Recreational Facilities and the Racetrack
Funds and Jai Alai Fronton Funds received by the County; and (2) a subordinate
lien upon and pledge of the Half -Cent Sales Tax (collectively, the "Pledged
Funds"), all as defined and to the extent and as more fully provided in the
Resolution.
The Series 1993 Bonds shall not constitute a general obligation or
indebtedness of the County and the holders 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 1993 Bonds.
As Bond Counsel, we have examined, among other things: certified copies of
2
certain proceedings of the Board with respect to the Series 1993 Bonds and other
proofs submitted to us which are relevant to the authorization, sale, issuance
and delivery of the Series 1993 Bonds; certified copies of the Ordinance and the
Resolution; certain documents required by the Resolution to be furnished as
conditions precedent to the issuance of the Series 1993 Bonds, a no -litigation
certificate; 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 an executed
Series 1993 Bond, and assume that, as required by the Resolution, all of the
Series 1993 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 to
us without undertaking to verify such facts by independent investigation.
Based on the foregoing, 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 1993 Bonds.
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 in accordance with the provisions of the Resolution.
4. The Series 1993 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, as and to the extent provided in the Resolution.
S. The Series 1993 Bonds and the income therefrom are exempt from
taxation under the laws of the State of Florida, except estate taxes and taxes
3
imposed by Chapter 220, Florida Statutes, on interest, income or profits on debt
obligations owned by corporations, banks and savings associations.
6. Assuming investment and application of the proceeds of the Series
1993 Bonds as set forth in the Resolution and the aforementioned non-arbitrage
certificate, The Series 1993 Bonds are not presently "arbitrage bonds" as
described in Section 103(b)(2) and Section 148 of the Code and applicable
regulations promulgated thereunder.
7. Interest on the Series 1993 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. The opinions
expressed in this paragraph are subject to the condition that the County comply
with all requirements of the Code that must be satisfied subsequent to the
issuance of the Series 1993 Bonds in order that the interest thereon be, or
continue to be, excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, as
the County has covenanted to do in the Resolution and other aforementioned
documents. Failure to comply with certain of such requirements may cause the
inclusion of interest on the Series 1993 Bonds in gross income retroactive to the
date of issuance of the Series 1993 Bonds.
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 1993
4
Bonds and the enforceability of the Series 1993 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,
