The Series 1992 Bonds shall not be or constitute general or moral obligations or a pledge of the

shall be special obligations of the County payable solely from and secured solely by a lien upon and pledge
of the Pledged Funds as more fully described 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 Series 1992 Bonds or
the interest thereon, or be entitled to payment of such principal and interest from any funds of the County
other than Pledged Funds.
Pledged Funds
The Series 1992 Bonds are special obligations of the County payable solely from and secured by an
irrevocable pledge of the receipts by the County from the proceeds of the local government half -cent sales
tax as defined and described in, and distributed (including any emergency distributions) to the County under
Part VI, Chapter 218, Florida Statutes ((he "Half -Cent Sales Tax") and, until applied as provided in the
Resolution, the moneys and investments in the funds and accounts under the Resolution and the income and
earnings from investments in any fund or account (other than the Rebate Fund) held thereunder (collectively,
the "Pledged Funds"), all in the manner provided in the Resolution. Pursuant to the Resolution, the County
has reserved the right to issue Additional Parity Obligations payable on a parity with the Series 1992 Bonds
in the manner and upon the conditions provided in the Resolution (see "Issuance of Additional Parity
Obligations" below). The Series 1992 Bonds are secured on a parity with the remaining outstanding Series
1985 Bonds.
Description of the Hair -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 "frust 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.
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 unincorporated area population + 2/3 incorporated area population
(percentage of = total county population + 2/3 incorporated area population
total Half -Cent
(Sales Tax Receipts)
Municipality Share municipality population
(percentage of = total county population + 2/3 incorporated area population
total Half -Cent
(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 1992 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:

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
Section 165.041, Florida Statutes, have been mel. 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 1.5 persons per
acre except under certain extraordinary conditions; and

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
Section 165.041, Florida Statutes, have been mel. 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 1.5 persons per
acre except under certain extraordinary conditions; and
5
(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.
No new incorporated municipalities have been formed within the County since 1965 when the Town
of Orchid was incur rno ated.
Under Section 171.041(3), Florida Statutes, a municipality may annex contiguous, compact,
unincorporated territory by adopting an annexation ordinance. Following adoption, such ordinance roust 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 specified 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 more 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 properly 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 properly and, after publication as required by law, such ordinance
shall become effective.
Reserve Account
Under the Resolution, the County is required to maintain a Reserve Account at an amount equal
to the Maximum Debt Service Requirement on all Bonds issued and outstanding under the Resolution. The
County may satisfy this debt service reserve requirement by making deposits either from the proceeds of sale
of Bonds or from other funds of the County and/or by providing an insurance policy or a letter of credit
meeting certain credit criteria set forth in the Resolution.
The Reserve Account will be in an amount equal to the Maximum Debt Service Requirement upon
issuance and delivery of the Series 1992 Bonds.
Money in the Reserve Account shall be used only for the purpose of paying principal or interest on
the Bonds issued and outstanding under the Resolution when money in the Sinking Fund is insufficient to
make such payments, and for no other purpose.
Subordinate Bonds
The County previously issued its Recreational Revenue Bonds, Series 1985, and its Recreational
Revenue Bonds, Series 1991 (collectively, the "Subordinate Bonds"), which are outstanding in the aggregate
principal amount of $ and are scheduled to be retired over the period ending September
1, 2016. The Subordinate Bonds were issued pursuant to Chapter 125, Florida Statutes, County Home Rule
Ordinance No. 77-19, enacted August 3, 1977, as amended and other applicable provisions of law and Indian
River County Resolution No. 89-78, adopted July 17, 1985, as amended and supplemented (the "Subordinate
Bonds Resolution"). The Subordinate Bonds are secured primarily by the Net Revenues of the County's Golf
Course and a first lien on the racetrack funds and jai alai fronton funds accruing annually to the County
pursuant to Chapter 550 and 551, Florida Statutes.
The Subordinate Bonds are additionally secured by a lien on the Half -Cent Sales Tax (as described
herein) subordinate to the lien and pledge in favor of the herein described Series 1992 Bonds, the remaining
outstanding Refunding and Improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 1985 that were not refunded as part of this
bond issue, and any additional bonds issued on a parity with the Series 1992 Bonds and the remaining
Outstanding Refunding and Improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 1985.
In the Subordinate Bonds Resolution, the County has covenanted that it will issue no additional
obligations on a parity with the Subordinate Bonds, except for refunding purposes and then only if such
refunding does not increase in the maximum annual debt service requirements with respect to the bonds
issued under the Subordinate Bonds Resolution.
Issuance of Additional Parity Obligations
Under the Resolution, before Additional Parity Obligations may be issued, there shall have been
obtained and filed with the County not later than the date of delivery of the Additional Parity Obligations,
a certificate of the Accountant: (a) stating that the books and records of the County relating to the Sales
Tax have been audited by him; (b) selling forth the amount of the Half -Cent Sales Tax, as defined therein,
received by the County for either (i) the immediately preceding Fiscal Year or (ii) any twelve (12)
consecutive months of the eighteen (18) months immediately preceding the proposed date of sale of the
Additional Parity Obligations with respect to which such certificate is made, at the option of the County, and
(c) slating that the Half -Cent Sales Tax receipts and certain investment income for such Fiscal Year or such
twelve (12) months period, as the case may be, are equal to at least 1.35 times the Maximum Debt Service
Requirement on (i) all Bonds then outstanding and (ii) the Additional Parity Obligations with respect to
which such certificate is made.
In addition, the issuance of Additional Parity Obligations is further restricted under the Subordinate
Bonds Resolution , so long as any of the Subordinate Bonds remain outstanding.
MUNICIPAL BOND INSURANCE
The following information has been furnished by Municipal Bond Investors Assurance Corporation
(the "Insurer") for use in this Official Statement. Reference is made to Appendix D for a specimen of the
Insurer's Policy.
The Insurer's policy unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the full and complete payment
required to be made by or on behalf of the County to the Paying Agent or its successor of an amount equal
to (i) the principal of (either at the stated maturity or by an advancement of maturity pursuant to a
mandatory sinking fund payment) and interest on, the Series 1992 Bonds as such payments shall become due
but shall not be so paid (except that in the event of any acceleration of the due date of such principal by
reason of mandatory or optional redemption or acceleration resulting from default or otherwise, other than
any advancement of maturity pursuant to a mandatory sinking fund payment, the payments guaranteed by
the Insurer's policy shall be made in such amounts and at such times as such payments of principal would
have been due had there not been any such acceleration); and (ii) the reimbursement of any such payment
which is subsequently recovered from any owner of the Series 1992 Bonds pursuant to a final judgment by
a court of competent jurisdiction that such payment constitutes an avoidable preference to such owner within
the meaning of any applicable bankruptcy law (a "Preference").
The Insurer's policy does not insure against loss of any prepayment premium which may at any time
be payable with respect to any Series 1992 Bond. The Insurer's policy does not, under any circumstances,
insure against loss relating to: (i) optional or mandatory redemptions (other than mandatory sinking fund
redemptions); (ii) any payments to be made on an accelerated basis; (iii) payments of the purchase price of
Series 1992 Bonds upon tender by an owner thereof; or (iv) any Preference relating to (i) through (iii) above.
The Insurer's policy also does not insure against nonpayment of principal of or interest on the Series 1992
Bonds resulting from the insolvency, negligence or any other act or omission of the Paying Agent or any
other paying agent for the Series 1992 Bonds.
Upon receipt of telephonic or telegraphic notice, such notice subsequently confirmed in writing by
registered or certified mail, or upon receipt of written notice by registered or certified mail, by the Insurer
from the Paying Agent or any owner of a Series 1992 Bond the payment of an insured amount for which
is then due, that such required payment has not been made, the Insurer on the due date of such payment
or within one business day after receipt of notice of such nonpayment, whichever is later, will make a deposit
of funds, in an account with Citibank, NA., in New York, New York, or its successor, sufficient for the
payment of any such insured amounts which are then due. Upon presentment and surrender of such Series
1992 Bonds or presentment of such other proof of ownership of the Series 1992 Bonds, together with any
appropriate instruments of assignment to evidence the assignment of the insured amounts due on the Series
1992 Bonds as are paid by the Insurer and appropriate instruments to effect the appointment of the Insurer
as agent for such owners of the Series 1992 Bonds in any legal proceeding related to payment of insured
amounts on the Series 1992 Bonds, such instruments being in a form satisfactory to Citibank, NA., Citibank,
NA. shall disburse to such owners or the Paying Agent payment of the insured amounts due on such Series

LITIGATION
In the opinion of the County Attorney there is no controversy or litigation now pending or, to the

RATINGS
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Corporation have assigned their municipal

delivery of the Series 1992 Bonds, a policy of municipal bond insurance insuring the payment when due of
principal of and interest on the Series 1992 Bonds will be issued by MBIA. Such ratings reflect only the
views of the rating agencies, and an explanation of the significance of such ratings may obtained from the
applicable rating agency. There is no assurance that such ratings will continue for any given period of time
or that they will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by such rating agencies, if in their judgment,
circumstances so warrant. Any downward revision or withdrawal of such ratings may have an adverse effect
upon the market price of the Series 1992 Bonds.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The County's general purpose financial statements at September 30, 1991 and for the year then

as set forth in their report dated January 31, 1992, which is a part of Appendix B attached hereto.
APPROVAL OF LEGALITY
Certain legal matters incident to the authorization, issuance, sale and delivery of the Series 1992
Bonds, and the treatment of the interest thereon for federal income tax purposes, arc 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 1992 Bonds. In its capacity as Bond
Counsel, Rhoads & Sinon has participated in the preparation of, and has reviewed those portions of this
Official Statement contained under the captions 'DESCRIPTION OF THE SERIES 1992 BONDS",
"SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 1992 BONDS", "APPROVAL OF LEGALITY", "TAX EXEMPTION", and
the "SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION" contained in Appendix C to this
Official Statement and the language on the cover of this Official Statement relating to the Series 1992 Bonds,
the Resolution and the tax-exempt status of the Series 1992 Bonds. Rhoads & Sinon has not been retained
to pass upon, and will not express any opinion upon, any other information continued in this Official
Statement or that may be made available to prospective purchasers of the Series 1992 Bonds. Certain legal
matters will be passed upon for the County by the County Attorney, Charles P. Vilunac, Vero Beach, Florida.
1E
TAX EXEMPTION
Federal Income Tax Matters
On the date of delivery of the Series 1992 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 1992 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
1992 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, inter
alia, restrictions upon the yield at which proceeds of the Series 1992 Bonds and other money held for the
payment of the Series 1992 Bonds and deemed "proceeds" thereof may be invested and the requirement to
calculate and rebate any arbitrage that may be generated with respect to investment attributable to the Series
1992 Bonds. Failure to comply with such requirements could cause the interest on the Series 1992 Bonds
to be included in gross income retroactive to the date of issuance of the Series 1992 Bonds.
Ownership of the Series 1992 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 1992 Bonds. Bond
Counsel will express no opinion as to such collateral tax consequences, and prospective purchasers of the
Series 1992 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 1992 Bonds, the proceeds of
the Series 1992 Bonds will not be used in a manner that would cause the Series 1992 Bonds to be or become
"arbitrage bonds". In the opinion of Bond Counsel, based upon the facts, estimates and circumstances set
forth in said certificate, the Series 1992 Bonds are not presently "arbitrage bonds" under existing statutes,
regulations and decisions.
No representation is made or can be made by the County or any other party associated with the
issuance of the Series 1992 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 1992 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 1992 Bonds.
Enactment of any legislation that subjects the interest on the Series 1992 Bonds to inclusion in gross
income for federal income lax purposes or otherwise imposes taxation on the Series 1992 Bonds or the
interest paid thereon may have an adverse effect on the market value or marketability.
Florida Tax Matters
On the date of delivery of the Series 1992 Bonds, Bond Counsel will issue an opinion to the effect
that under existing statutes, regulations and judicial decisions, the Series 1992 Bonds and the income
12
therefrom are exempt from taxation under the laws of the State of Florida, except as to estate taxes and
taxes imposed by Chapter 200, 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 County is Doi such a "qualified issuer" and has net designated the Series 1992 Bonds as
"qualified lax -exempt obligations". Financial institutions intending to purchase Series 1992 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 1992 Bonds being sold in the initial public
offering with original issue discount is, to the extent properly allocable to each Holder of such Series 1992
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 1992 Bonds is the excess of the stated redemption price at maturity of
such Series 1992 Bonds over the initial offering price at which a substantial amount of the Series 1992
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 the Series 1992 Bond
and affect the determination of taxable gain from any sale or exchange of such Series 1992 Bond.
Prospective purchasers of the Series 1992 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 (a) the mathematical computations of the adequacy of the maturing principal
amounts and interest earnings thereon of the United States Treasury obligations to pay, when due, the
principal of, interest on and redemption premium, if any, on the Refunded Bonds and (b) the mathematical
computations supporting the conclusions that the Series 1992 Bonds are not "arbitrage bonds" within the
meaning of Section 103(c) of the Code will be verified by
independent certified public accountants.
UNDERWRITING
The Underwriter has agreed to purchase all but not less than all of the Series 1992 Bonds at an
aggregated discount of from the initial public offering prices set forth on the cover
page of this Official Statement. This discount includes an original issue discount of . The
13
Underwriter's obligation is subject to certain conditions precedent, and it will be obligated to purchase all
of the Series 1992 Bonds if any Series 1992 Bonds are purchased. The Series 1992 Bonds may be offered
to certain dealers, banks and others at prices lower than the public offering prices set forth on the cover
page of this Official Statement, and such offering prices may be changed from time to time by the
Underwriter.
AUTHORIZATION OF AND CERTIFICATION CONCERNING OFFICIAL STATEMENT
The County has approved this Official Statement and authorized its execution. Concurrently with
the delivery of the Series 1992 Bonds, the Chairman of the Indian River Board of County Commissioners
and the County Administrator will furnish the certificate to the effect that, to the best of their knowledge,
the Official Statement, as of the dated date and as of the date of delivery of the Series 1992 Bonds, does
not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and does not omit to state a material fact which should
be included therein for the purpose for which the Official Statement is to be used, or which is necessary to
make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading.
MISCELLANEOUS
Any statement in this Official Statement involving matters of opinion, whether or not expressly so
stated, are intended as such and are not as representations of fact. This Official Statement is not to be
construed as a contract or agreement between the County or the Underwriter and the purchasers or owners
of any of the Series 1992 Bonds.

Report of Independent Accountants
The Honorable County Commissioners and
Constitutional Officers
Indian River County, Florida
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of Indian River County,
Florida as of September 30, 1991, and for the year then ended, as listed in the
Table of Contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
County's 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, 1991, 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.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Year Ended September 30, 1991
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.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:
A. Reporting Entity - Continued - Applying the criteria above has caused the
inclusion of the following entities:
Indian River County Housing Authority (IRCHA) - The IRCHA was included in the
report because the Board provides the primary funding for the operations of the
IRCHA. The Board maintains budgetary control over the operating costs of the
IRCHA. In addition, they provide use of certain furniture and equipment to the
IRCHA at no charge. Due to the proprietary nature of the IRCHA's operations,
the IRCHA is reported as an enterprise fund. For budgetary control, the Board
maintains a Special Revenue Fund to account for the operating costs of the
IRCHA. Funding is provided from operating transfers from the Board's General
Fund and operating grants received from the State of Florida. Since the oper-
ating costs of IRCHA have been properly reported in the enterprise fund, the
Special Revenue Fund has been eliminated for the purposes of this report.
Appropriations from the Board totaled $88,678 and the related actual operating
costs totaled $78,345 for the fiscal year. The IRCHA cannot overspend appropri-
ations in total.
North Indian River County Fire District, West Indian River County Fire District,
and South Indian River County Fire District - The fire districts were included
in the report because the Board sits as the Board for each fire district,
approves the budget and sets the millage rate for each fire district, and desig-
nates the management of each fire district. The fire districts are reported as
special revenue funds.
The following entities, which meet the scope of public service criteria, have been
excluded from this report:
Indian River County School Board District (IRCSBD) - The IRCSBD has a separately
elected board, maintains its own financial records and reports to the Florida
Department of Education.
Indian River County Hospital (IRCH) - The IRCH has a separately elected board,
maintains its own financial records, can issue debt with the approval of its
board or the voters, and issues its own report.
Indian River County Mosquito Control District (IRCMCD) - The IRCMCD has a sepa-
rately elected board, maintains its own financial records, and issues its own
report.
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 Accounting 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.

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

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 -Term 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.

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, 1991,
this allowance was $4,000. The Housing Authority provides an allowance for
rents receivable which may become uncollectible which amounted to $11,338 at
September 30, 1991. No other allowances for uncollectible accounts are main-
tained since other fund accounts receivable are considered collectible as
reported at September 30, 1991.
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 Enterprise Fund incurred interest expense during the
construction period totaling $26,815. There were no related interest earnings
on construction fund investments for net capitalized interest of $26,815.
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. Intanqible 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.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:
Deferred Revenues - Deferred revenues reported in applicable Governmental Fund
Types represent unearned revenues or revenues which are measurable but not
available and, in accordance with the modified accrual basis of accounting, are
reported as deferred revenues. The deferred revenues will be recognized as
revenue in the fiscal year they are earned or become available.
O. Accrued Compensated Absences - The County records compensated absences in the
Governmental Fund Types as an expenditure for the amount accrued during the year
that would normally be liquidated with expendable available financial
resources. The remainder of the liability is reported in the General Long -Term
Debt Account Group. Proprietary Fund Types accrue compensated absences in the
period they are earned.
P. Obligation for Bond Arbitrage Rebate - Pursuant to Section 198(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.
As of September 30, 1991, the entire arbitrage rebate liability of the County
was related to general government debt. Since these amounts are not due to be
paid until 1993, this liability is reported in the General Long -Term Debt
Account Group.
Landfill Closure Costs - Under the terms of Florida Department of Environmental
Regulation and the Environmental Protection Agency requirements, the County is
required to provide long-term care for landfill operations for up to thirty
years after final closure. Required obligations for closure costs are recog-
nized in the Solid Waste Disposal District 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.

S. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting - The County uses the following procedures in
establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements:
(1) The Constitutional Officers submit, at various times, to the Board and to
certain divisions within the Department of Revenue, State of Florida, a
proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following
October 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the
means of financing them.
(2) The Department of Revenue, State of Florida, has the final authority on
.the operating budgets for the Tax Collector and Property Appraiser
included in the General Fund.
(3) On or before July 15 of each year, the Director of the Office of
Management and Budget, as the Board's designated budget officer, submits
to the Board a tentative budget for the ensuing fiscal year. The tenta-
tive budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing
them. The Board then holds workshops to review the tentative budget by
Fund on an object level.
(4) During September, public hearings are held pursuant to Section 200.065 of
the Florida Statutes in order for the Board to receive public input on the
tentative budget. At the end of the last public hearing, the Board enacts
ordinances to legally adopt the budgets for all governmental fund types.
The budgets legally adopted by the Board set forth the anticipated
revenues by source and the appropriations by function.
(5) Formal budgetary integration of an object level is used as a management
control device for the governmental funds of the County. Management is
authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between objects and departments in
any fund as long as management does not exceed the total appropriations of
a fund. Board approval to amend the budget is only required when
unanticipated revenues are received that management wishes to have
appropriated thereby increasing the total appropriations of a fund.

consolidation. Interfund eliminations have not been made in the aggregation of
these data.
U. Statements of Cash Flows - During the 1991 fiscal year, the County adopted GASB
Statement No. 9, "Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust
Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting". As a
result, the Statement of Changes in Financial Position for proprietary fund
types has been replaced by the Statement of Cash Flows.
2. Cash and Investments:
The County maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use by all
funds except those whose cash and investments must be segregated due to bond cove-
nants or other legal restrictions.
Deposits - At September 30, 1991, the carrying amount of the County's deposits was
$5,186,338 made up of demand deposits, certificates of deposit, money market

(2) General Obligation Bonds - On July 27, 1989, the Board issued $5,900,000
of General Obligation Bonds, 1909 Series. The issuance of the 1989 Series
Bonds was approved by a majority of votes cast in a bond referendum held
on September 2, 1986 by the qualified electors of the County. The princi-
pal and interest on the Bonds are payable from ad valorem taxes levied and
collected upon all taxable property within the County. The proceeds from
this issue provide funds for certain improvements to and expansion of the
County -wide library system, including land acquisition, construction of
branch buildings and purchase of library materials.

(3) Special Assessment Bonds - The proceeds of the initial special assessment
bonds were used to extend the water and sewer distribution systems along
Florida State Road 60. The proceeds of the Rockridge Special Assessment
bonds were used for acquisition and construction of sewer line extensions
in the Rockridge Sanitary Sewer area. The proceeds of the North County
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 proceedings the property cannot be
sold at auction, then the County must acquire it for its market value.

A. Florida Retirement Svstem
The County's employees, except certain firemen, participate in the Florida
Retirement System (FRS), a cost-sharing, multiple -employer public employee
retirement system, administered by the Florida Department of Administration.
The FRS is noncontributory for all members, all contributions are made by the
employer. The FRS has five classes of membership with descriptions and
contribution rates in effect during the period ended September 30, 1991 as
follows (contribution rates are in agreement with the actuarially determined
rates):

The FRS provides vesting after ten years of creditable service. Members are
eligible for normal retirement after vesting (10 years or more creditable
service for regular members). Early retirement may be taken anytime after
vesting, but there is a five percent benefit reduction for each year prior to
normal retirement age (less than 30 years service or 62 years of age for regular
members).
Members are also eligible for in -line -of -duty or regular disability benefits if
permanently disabled and unable to work. Benefits are computed on the basis of
age, average final compensation and service credit.
The County's contributions to the FRS, which are based on Section 121, Florida
Statutes, through September 30, 1991 were $5,051,265 on covered payroll of
$26,648,646, for a 18.96% contribution rate. Total payroll for the County was
$27,538,123. The County's contribution represented less than 1% of total
contributions required of all participating employees.
The most recent actuarial study was prepared as of July 1, 1990 which recommends
an increase in contribution rates over the next five years in order to meet
normal cost and fund the unfunded actuarial accrued liability. The report indi-
cated two major changes in procedures and assumptions. The investment return
was changed to 8% from 9% and the asset valuation method was changed. Section
121.031(3) of the Florida Statutes requires that an actuarial review of the FRS
be performed biennially. The conclusions of the review are included in the
annual report of the FRS.

As of the most recent annual statewide report dated July 1, 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.

Annuitants and vested terminated 9,853
Total pension benefit obligation 33,819
Net assets available for benefits (at cost) 21,644
Unfunded pension benefit obligations $12,175
The amount of the total pension benefit obligation is based on a standardized
measurement established by the GASB Statement No. 5. The standardized measure-
ment is the actuarial present value of credited projected benefits. This
pension valuation method reflects present value of estimated pension benefits
that will be paid in future years as a result of employee services performed to
date and is adjusted for the effects of projected salary increases and any
changes in benefits.
Because the standardized measure is used only for disclosure purposes only, the
measurement is independent of the actuarial computation made to determine
contributions to the pension plan which is the entry age actuarial cost method.
For further information, including 10 -year historical trend information, refer
to the State of Florida's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report or the various
publications available from the Florida Department of Administration.

B. Firefighters Pension Plan
In October, 1981, the South Indian River County Fire District took over opera-
tions of the City of Vero Beach's Fire Department. Full-time firemen were given
the option of joining the Florida Retirement System or remaining in the City's
plan. Twenty full-time firemen and all of the volunteers elected to remain in
the City's plan. Those who joined the Florida Retirement System received
refunds of their contributions from the City's plan. The City has by Statute
retained fiduciary responsibility for this plan which is a single employer
public employee retirement system. Employer contributions to the PERS are made
by the County.
Benefits vest after 10 years of service. Firefighters who retire at the earlier
of age fifty-five and ten years of contributing service or age fifty-two and
twenty-five years of contributing service are entitled to an annual retirement
benefit, payable monthly for life, in an amount equal to 2.50 percent of their
base compensation over the highest five years of employment, multipled by
credited service. The PERS also provides death and disability benefits. These
benefits and other requirements are established by State Statute and City of
Vero Beach ordinance. The firefighters are required to contribute 7 percent of
their compensation. The PEAS 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, 1991. Significant actuarial assumptions used in the
valuation include (a) a rate of return on the investment of present and future
assets compounded annually of 6 1/28, and (b) projected salary increases of 78 a
year compounded annually attributable to inflation.

There were no current year changes in actuarial assumptions or benefit pro-
visions that would affect the pension benefit obligation.
Actuarially Determined Contribution Requirements and Contributions Made - The
County's funding policy provides for actuarially determined periodic contribu-
tions to the plans. The required contributions are actuarially determined and
include normal 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 benefit in excess of current asset is paid off over the future
working years of the covered employee. Therefore, this method automatically
funds the remaining value of benefits while there are still active members.

The 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 were no
changes in the current year in actuarial assumptions, actuarial funding method,
or benefit provisions.
The contributions made to the plan during the fiscal year ended September 30,

10. 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.

15. 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 loss 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.

Year Ended September 30, 1991
15. 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
$2,070,449 reported in the Fund at September 30, 1991 is based on the requirements
of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 10, which requires that a
liability for claims be reported if information prior to the issuance of the finan-
cial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at
the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably
estimated. Estimates for claims incurred but not reported are actuarially deter-
mined and recorded. Changes in the Fund's claims liability amount during the
current and prior fiscal years are as follows:
Beginning -of -
Fiscal -Year -Liability
1988-1989 $ -0-
1989-1990 415,250

Included in the charges to other funds is an amount to fund future catastrophic
losses and at September 30, 1991, the retained earnings balance of $1,355,210 has
been designated for this purpose.
16. Commitments and Contingencies:
A. Litigation - The County is contingently liable with respect to lawsuits and
other claims incidental to the ordinary course of its operations. In the
opinion of management, based on the advice of legal counsel, the ultimate
disposition of lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
position of the County.

B. Construction Commitments - The County has various construction contracts out-
standing at September 30, 1991. In the Capital Projects Funds projects are for
Indian River Boulevard North, Treasure Shores Park, New North County and Main
Libraries, and New Court House. In the Enterprise Funds, the landfill
expansion, Golf Course expansion, Gifford Sludge Facility, and various water and
sewer projects are under construction. A summary of these projects at
September 30, 1991 is as follows:
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.
17. Subsequent Events:
A. Water and Sewer Revenue Bond, Series 1991 - On October 11, 1991, the Board
issued a $9,205,000 Bond consisting of Serial Bonds in the amount of $3,655,000
with maturity dates ranging from 1993-2006 and interest rates ranging from 4.85%
to 6.50% and Term Bonds in the amount of $1,310,000 and $4,240,000 with maturity
dates of 2009 and 2016 and interest rates of 6.7% and 6.5%, respectively. This
bond was to (1) establish the Construction Fund for the purpose of constructing
the regional sludge treatment facility; (2) retire the Water Revenue Bonds,
Series 1988, Anticipation Notes ($3,900,000); and (3) establish Reserve Accounts
and a Sinking Fund related to the Bond. This project is needed to meet the
County's immediate and future needs for the treatment of and disposal of sludge
(the solid or semi-solid residual by-product of the wastewater treatment plant
process), septage (the liquids and portable toilet facilities), and grease (the
material taken from commercial grease traps typically found at food processing
facilities and restaurants).
B. The Board is continuing with plans to build a new County Courthouse estimated to
cost $22,000,000. Property acquisition is nearly complete. The architect's
plans for a three-story complex with adjoining parking garage have been approved
by the Board. Final engineering plans are now being developed. Occupancy is
estimated in mid-1994. Construction will be funded with revenues from the
optional one -cent sales tax.

Resolution to Constitute Contract. In consideration of the
acceptance of the Bonds authorized to be issued under the Master Bond Resolution
by those who shall hold the same from time to time, the Master Bond Resolution
shall be deemed to be and shall constitute a contract between the County and such
holders and, so long as any of the outstanding Bonds are insured by it or held
by it as subrogee of such holders following payment on a municipal bond insurance
policy, the Municipal Bond Insurer, if any. The covenants and agreements set
forth in the Master Bond Resolution to be performed by the County shall be for
the equal benefit, protection and security of the legal holders of any and all
of such Bonds, all of which shall be of equal rank and without preference,
priority or distinction of any of the Bonds over any other thereof, except as
expressly provided in the Bonds or in the Master Bond Resolution.
Special Obligations of the County. The principal of and interest on
the Bonds and all required sinking fund, reserve and other payments shall be

Master Bond Resolution. No holder or holders of any Bonds shall ever have the
right to require or compel the exercise of the ad valorem taxing power of the

all interest becoming due on the next interest payment

Registrar and paying agents.
(2) On a parity with the previously described
deposits, revenues shall simultaneously be applied and
allocated to the "Refunding and Improvement Revenue
Bonds, Bond Amortization Fund" (the "Bond Amortization
Fund"). The amount to be deposited in the Bond
Amortization Fund will be equal to (1/6) one-sixth of
the Amortization Installment required to be made on the
next semiannual payment date or (1/12) one -twelfth of
the Amortization Installment required to be made on the
next annual payment date for Term Bonds.
Credit shall be allowed against the total interest
Amortization Installments and principal due on the next
interest and principal payment dates for any other funds
on hand and available for such purposes in the Sinking
Fund and Bond Amortization Fund.
(3) Moneys remaining in the Revenue Fund shall
next be deposited in a Reserve Account within the
Sinking Fund to maintain a balance equal to the Maximum
Debt Service Requirement on the Bonds. The County may
substitute a qualified municipal bond insurance policy
C-4
or a qualified reserve account letter of credit in an
amount equal to the difference between the Maximum Debt
Service Requirement and the sums on deposit in the
Reserve Account, with the prior consent of the Municipal
Bond Insurer. Moneys in the Reserve Account shall be
used only for the purpose of paying maturing
Amortization Installments or paying principal or
interest due on the Bonds when the other moneys
allocated to the Sinking Fund and Bond Amortization Fund
are insufficient.
(4) The balance of revenues remaining may be
used by the County for any lawful purpose.
Upon the issuance of Additional Parity Obligations
under the terms, provisions and conditions described in
the Master Bond Resolution, the deposits to the Sinking
Fund, the Bond Amortization Fund and the Reserve Account
(if no separate reserve account is funded) shall be
increased so as to provide for the payments of principal
and interest on the Additional Parity Obligations on the
same basis as provided with respect to Bonds, before
revenues become available for other lawful purposes of
the County.
Moneys on deposit in the Revenue Fund, the Sinking
Fund and the Bond Amortization Fund may be invested and
reinvested in Authorized Investments.
The moneys in the Reserve Account, subject to
arbitrage restrictions, may be invested and reinvested
in Federal Securities maturing not later than the final
maturity date of the Bonds. Any and all income received
by the County from such investments shall be deposited
in the Revenue Fund.
Operation of Bond Amortization Fund. Moneys held for the credit
of the Bond Amortization Fund shall be applied to the retirement of Term Bonds
as follows:
(1) Subject to the provisions of subparagraph
(4) below, the County shall endeavor to purchase Term
Bonds then outstanding, at the most advantageous price
obtainable with reasonable diligence, such price not to
exceed the principal of such Term Bonds and the
C-5
redemption premium which would be applicable if the
moneys applied to such purchase were otherwise applied
to the redemption of Term Bonds under subparagraphs (2)
or (3) below. The County shall pay the interest accrued
on such Term Bonds to the date of delivery thereof from
the Sinking Fund and the purchase price from the Bond
Amortization Fund, but no such purchase shall be made by
the County within the forty-five (45) days immediately
preceding any interest payment date on which such Term
Bonds are subject to call for redemption except from
moneys in excess of the amounts set aside or deposited
for the redemption of Term Bonds.
(2) Subject to the provisions of subparagraph
(4) below, the County shall call for redemption on each
interest payment date on which Term Bonds are subject to
redemption from moneys in the Bond Amortization Fund,
such amount of Term Bonds then subject to redemption as
will exhaust the moneys then held in the Bond
Amortization Fund as nearly as may be practicable.
Prior to calling Term Bonds for redemption the County
shall withdraw from the Sinking Fund and from the Bond
Amortization Fund and set aside in separate accounts or
deposit with the Paying Agent the respective amounts
required for paying the interest on the Term Bonds so
called for redemption.
(3) Moneys in the Bond Amortization Fund shall
be applied by the County in each Fiscal Year to the
retirement of Term Bonds then outstanding in the
following order:
(i) The Term Bonds of each series
to the extent of the Amortization
Installment, if any, for such Fiscal Year
for the Term Bonds of each such series then
outstanding and, if the amount available in
such Fiscal Year shall not be sufficient
therefor, then in proportion to the
Amortization Installment, if any, for such
Fiscal Year for the Term Bonds of each such
series then outstanding, provided, however,
that if the Term Bonds of any series shall
not then be subject to redemption from
moneys in the Bond Amortization Fund and if
the County shall at any time be unable to
exhaust the moneys applicable to the Term
C -G
Bonds of such series under the provisions
of this clause (i) in the purchase of such
Term Bonds under the provisions of
subparagraph (1) above, such moneys or the
balance of such moneys, as the case may be,
shall be retained in the Bond Amortization
Fund and, as soon as it is feasible,
applied to the retirement of Term Bonds of
such series; and
(ii) any balance then remaining,
other than moneys retained under clause (i)
of this subparagraph, shall be applied to
the retirement of the Bonds as the County
in its sole discretion shall determine, but
only in the case of the redemption of Bonds
of any series, in such amounts and on such
terms as may be provided in the resolution
authorizing the issuance of the Bonds of
such series.
(4) The County shall deposit into the Bond
Amortization Fund Amortization Installments for the
amortization of the principal of the Current Interest
Paying Term Bonds of any series, and for the payment of
the Compounded Amounts for the Capital Appreciation Term
Bonds of any series, together with any deficiencies for
prior required deposits into the Bond Amortization Fund,
such Amortization Installments to be in such amounts (or
calculable amounts) and to be due on such date or dates
and in such years as shall be determined by resolution
of the County at or prior to the sale of the Bonds of
such series. With respect to Capital Appreciation Term
Bonds, subparagraphs (1) through (3) above shall not
apply.
After all other required payments have been made,
the County shall pay from the Revenue Fund all expenses
in connection with any such purchase or redemption.
Books and Records. The County shall maintain books and records
of the receipt and disbursements of the Sales Tax and any Bondholder shall have
the right at all reasonable times to inspect all accounts, records and data of
the County related thereto.
C-7
Annual Audit. The County shall, immediately after the close of
each Fiscal Year, cause the books, records and accounts relating to the Sales Tax
to be properly audited by a recognized independent firm of certified public
accountants, and shall require the auditors to complete their reports within one
hundred eighty (180) days after the close of the Fiscal Year. Such audits shall
contain, but not be limited to, the statements required by generally accepted
accounting principles applicable to governmental units, and a certificate by the
auditors disclosing any default on the part of the County with respect to any
covenant in the Master Bond Resolution. A copy of such annual audit shall be
made available to any Bondholder upon request.
No Impairment of Sales Tax Pledge. The County will not take any
action which will impair or adversely affect in any manner the pledge of the
Sales Tax or the rights of the Holders of the Bonds issued pursuant to the Master
Bond Resolution. The County shall be unconditionally and irrevocably obligated,
so long as any of the Bonds or the interest thereon are outstanding and unpaid,
to take all lawful action necessary or required to continue to entitle the County
to receive the Sales Tax, to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds and
to make the other payments provided for in the Master Bond Resolution.
Events of Default. It shall be an event of default under the
Master Bond Resolution if:
(1) The County fails to pay the principal,
Amortization Installments or interest on the Bonds when
due;
(2) The County fails to deposit or pay within
ten (10) days after the due date any required deposit or
payment under the Master Bond Resolution.
C-8
(3) The County fails to comply with any other
covenant of the Master Bond Resolution and such failure
continues for more than thirty (30) days;
(4) The County is adjudicated bankrupt or
insolvent and such order continues unstayed or
undischarged for a period of ninety (90) days; or
(5) A court having jurisdiction appoints a
receiver, trustee or assignee in bankruptcy or
insolvency of the County and such order or decree shall
have remained in force undischarged and unstayed for a
period of ninety (90) days.
Remedies. Any holder of Bonds may by suit, action, mandamus or
other judicial proceedings protect or enforce all rights, including the right to
appointment of a receiver, or enforce or compel performance of all duties of the
County under the Master Bond Resolution, including the duty of the County to
remedy an event of default; but nothing in the Master Bond Resolution shall be
construed to grant to any holder of such Bonds any lien on any property of or
within the corporate limits of the County.
Issuance of Remaining Authorized Bonds After Initial Installment and
of Additional Parity Obligations. No further installment of Bonds or Additional
Parity Obligations shall be issued except for the construction and/or acquisition
of lawful capital projects or for refunding purposes and then only upon the
following conditions:
(1) There shall have been obtained and filed
with the County the Certificate of an Accountant
stating:
(a) The books and records of the
County relating to the Sales Tax have been
audited by him;
C9
(b) The amount of Sales Tax
received by the County during the prior
Fiscal Year or any twelve (12) consecutive
months of the eighteen (18) months
immediately preceding the date of sale of
the Additional Parity Obligations; and
(c) The Sales Tax receipts for the
period identified in (b) are equal to at
least 1.35 times the Maximum Debt Service
Requirement on all Bonds and Additional
Parity Obligations then outstanding plus
the Additional Parity Obligations for which
the Certificate is being made.
(2) A series of Bonds or a portion of a series
of Bonds may be refunded with the proceeds from the sale
of Additional Parity Obligations without complying with
the 1(c) coverage test if the Accountant will certify
that the Debt Service Requirement in each Fiscal Year
after the refunding does not exceed the Debt Service
Requirement in each Fiscal Year before the refunding.
However, no Additional Parity Obligations which bear a
variable rate of interest shall be issued without the
prior consent of the Municipal Bond Insurer.
(3) Each resolution authorizing the issuance of
Additional Parity Obligations will recite that all of
the covenants contained in the Master Bond Resolution
will be applicable to such Additional Parity
Obligations.
(4) The County shall not be in default in
performing any of its covenants and obligations under
the Master Bond Resolution.
(5) No Designated Maturity Bonds will be issued
as Additional Parity Obligations as long as Bonds
insured by a Municipal Bond Insurer remain outstanding
unless:
(a) The Municipal Bond Insurer
consents, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld; or
(b) The County covenants to
establish a credit facility which insures
C-10
payment of the principal of such Bonds or
the County covenants to refund such Bonds,
in either case at a date not later than
five years preceding the stated maturity
thereof.
Arbitraee. No use will be made of the proceeds of the Bonds which,
if such use were reasonably expected on the date of issuance of the Bonds, would
cause the same to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of the Internal Revenue
Code. The County at all times while the Bonds and the interest thereon are
outstanding will comply with the requirements of Section 103 of the Internal
Revenue Code and any valid and applicable rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, to the extent required to preserve the exclusion of the interest on
the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes.
Payment From Sales Tax and Investment Income. The County will duly
and punctually pay or cause to be paid from the Sales Tax, the principal of, and
interest and premium, if any, on the Bonds.
Modification or Amendment. No adverse material modification or
amendment of the Master Bond Resolution or any ordinance or resolution amendatory
thereof or supplemental thereto may be made without the consent in writing of the
Holders of fifty-one percent (518) or more in principal amount of the Bonds of
each series then outstanding; provided, however, that in the event the County
obtains a policy of municipal bond insurance covering the Bonds of a series, then
only the consent of the Municipal Bond Insurer for such Bonds shall be required;
provided, further, that no modification or amendment shall permit a change in the
maturity of the Bonds or a reduction in the rate of interest thereon or in the
amount of principal obligation thereof or affecting the promise of the County to
C -II
pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same shall become due from
the Sales Tax or reduce the percentage of the Holders of the Bonds required to
consent to any adverse material modification or amendment of the Master Bond
Resolution without the consent of the Holders of all Bonds or the Municipal Bond
Insurer, if any, of each series, as the case may be. The County may at any time
amend the Master Bond Resolution to provide for the issuance or exchange of Bonds
in coupon form, if and to the extent that doing so will not affect the tax-exempt
status of the interest on the Bonds.
Defeasance. If, at any time, the County shall have paid, or shall
have made provision for payment of, the principal, interest and redemption
premiums, if any, with respect to all of the Bonds, or the Bonds of any series
or portion of a series or any maturity or portion of a maturity of a series,
then, and in that event, the pledge of and lien on the Sales Tax in favor of the
Holders of such Bonds shall be no longer in effect. For purposes of the
preceding sentence, deposit of Federal Securities in irrevocable trust with a
banking institution or trust company, for the sole benefit of such Bondholders,
in respect to which such Federal Securities, the principal and interest received
will be sufficient to make timely payment of the principal, interest, and
redemption premiums, if any, on such Bonds, shall be considered "provision for
payment". Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the County to call any of
the outstanding Bonds for redemption prior to maturity pursuant to any applicable
optional redemption provisions, or to impair the discretion of the County in
determining whether to exercise any such option for early redemption.

BOCA RATON, FLORIDA 33432
Re: Indian River County, Florida
$ Aggregate Principal Amount of
Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 1992
Dated as of , 1992
OPINION
We have acted as Bond Counsel in connection with the authorization, sale,
issuance and delivery of the Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 1992, dated as of
October 1, 1992, in the aggregate principal amount of $ (the
"Series 1992 Bonds"), of Indian River County, Florida (the "County"). The Series
1992 Bonds are issued as the third installment of revenue bonds of the County
heretofore authorized under the Resolution (hereinafter defined) in the maximum
aggregate principal amount of $25,000,000. The first installment of said bonds
was heretofore issued in the aggregate principal amount of $9,855,000 of which
$7,945,000 aggregate principal amount are presently outstanding. The second
installment of said bonds was heretofore issued in the aggregate principal amount
of $3,655,000 of which $3,005,000 aggregate principal amount are presently
outstanding. Said authorized bonds, together with any Additional Parity
Obligations hereafter issued under the terms and conditions provided in the
Resolution are herein referred to as the "Bonds".
The Series 1992 Bonds are issued pursuant to the Constitution and laws
of the State of Florida, including particularly Chapters 125 and 279, Florida
E-1
Statutes (1991), as amended; County 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"); Resolution No. 85-75 duly adopted by the Board on
July 10, 1985, as amended and supplemented, including without limitation the
supplements made by Resolution No. 92- duly adopted by the Board on
1992 (the "Resolution"); and other applicable provisions of law.
Under the Resolution, NationsBank Trust (the "Paying Agent") has been
appointed as paying agent and bond registrar for the Series 1992 Bonds.
The County, pursuant to the power and authority vested in it by law, has
determined to retire a portion of its outstanding Refunding and Improvement
Revenue Bonds, Series 1985, dated as of November 1, 1985 (the "Series 1985
Bonds"), and to retire all of its outstanding Capital Improvement Revenue Bonds,
Series 1987, dated as of July 1, 1987 (the "Series 1987 Bonds"), all of which
bonds were heretofore issued under the Resolution.
The Resolution provides that the proceeds of the Series 1992 Bonds,
together with other available funds of the County, are to be used, inter alia:
(i) to retire a portion of the outstanding Series 1985 Bonds and all of the
outstanding Series 1987 Bonds; (ii) to make a deposit to the Reserve Account
established under the Resolution to the extent necessary to comply with the
Resolution; and (iii) to pay all costs and expenses in connection with the

the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and applicable
regulations promulgated thereunder, inter alia, to preserve the exclusion of the
E-2

purposes.
The principal of, interest and premium, if any, on the Bonds are payable
solely from and secured by a first lien on and pledge of the Pledged Funds, as
defined in the Resolution, which includes the Sales Tax, as defined in the
Resolution (the "Half -Cent Sales Tax"), all as more fully provided in the
Resolution.
The Series 1992 Bonds shall not constitute a general obligation or
indebtedness of the County and the holders thereof shall never have the right to
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 1992
Bonds.
As Bond Counsel, we have examined, among other things: certified copies of
certain proceedings of the Board with respect to the Series 1992 Bonds and other
proofs submitted to us which are relevant to the authorization, sale, issuance
and delivery of the Series 1992 Bonds; a certified copy of the Resolution;
certain documents required by the Resolution to be furnished as conditions
precedent to the issuance of the Series 1992 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 an executed Series 1992 Bond and assume that, as
required by the Resolution, all of the Series 1992 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
E-3
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 and authority to issue the Series 1992 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 receive, hold and apply the Pledged
Funds in accordance with the provisions of the Resolution.
4. The Series 1992 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.
5. The Series 1992 Bonds and the income therefrom are exempt from
taxation under the laws of the State of Florida, except estate taxes and taxes
imposed by Chapter 220, Florida Statutes, on interest, income or profits on debt
obligations owned by corporations, banks and savings associations.
6. Assuming investment and application of the proceeds of the Series 1992
Bonds as set forth in the Resolution and in the aforementioned non -arbitrage
certificate, the Series 1992 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 1992 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 tar, 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
E-4
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 1992 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 1992 Bonds in gross income retroactive to the
date of issuance of the Series 1992 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 1992
Bonds and the enforceability of the Series 1992 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.

of law.
2
Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, herein shall have the
respective meanings ascribed to them in the Official Statement referred to
herein.
As counsel to the County, I have examined, among other things, certified
copies of certain proceedings of the County with respect to the Series 1992 Bonds
and other proofs submitted to me which are relevant to the authorization, sale,
issuance and delivery of the Series 1992 Bonds; a certified copy of the
Resolution; and usual and required closing affidavits, certificates and
documents. I have also participated in the preparation of the Preliminary
Official Statement pertaining to the Bonds, dated October 16, 1992 and the final
Official Statement dated 1992 (collectively the "Official
Statement").
Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:
1. The County is a county duly organized and existing under the
Constitution and laws of the State of Florida and is a subdivision thereof and
has the right to receive the Half -Cent Sales Tax and the power and authority to
issue the Series 1992 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 receive, hold and apply the Pledged
Funds, including without limitation the Half -Cent Sales Tax, in accordance with
the Resolution.
4. No consent, waiver or any other action by any person, board or body,
public or private, is required as of the date hereof for the County to adopt the
Resolution or issue the Series 1992 Bonds or perform its obligations under either
of the foregoing.
5. The adoption of the Resolution and the execution and delivery of the
Series 1992 Bonds and the compliance with the provisions of each do not and will
not conflict with or constitute a breach of or default under any applicable law
or administrative regulation of the State of Florida or the United States or any
applicable judgment or decree or any trust agreement, loan agreement, bond,
note, resolution, ordinance, agreement or other instrument to which the County is
a party or is otherwise subject.
6. There is no litigation or proceeding, pending or threatened,
challenging the creation, organization or existence of the County or the
validity of the Series 1992 Bonds or the Resolution, or seeking to restrain or
enjoin any of the transactions referred to therein or contemplated thereby, or
under which a determination adverse to the County would have a material adverse
effect upon, or which in any manner questions the right of the County to
receive, hold or apply the Pledged Funds or issue the Series 1992 Bonds.
7. The information in the Official Statement under the Caption
"Litigation" fairly and accurately summarizes the information presented therein.
Without having undertaken to determine independently the accuracy,
completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Official Statement,
except as set forth in a paragraph numbered 7 above, I have no reason to believe
that the Official Statement, as of its date, contained, or on the date hereof
contains, any untrue statement of a material fact, or omitted or omits to state
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (except for any

10 -
SECOND DRAFT - November 23, 1992
referred to in Paragraph 1 (whereupon the term "Obligations" shall include such
substituted obligations), but only upon receipt of the following:
(a) an Opinion of a nationally recognized bond counsel firm
that the obligations so substituted are of the type that are
permitted to be held under and pursuant to this Agreement for the
purposes contemplated hereby and to the effect that such
substitution has no adverse effect upon the exclusion of interest on
the Series 1992 Bonds from gross income of the holders thereof for
federal income tax purposes; and
(b) a Certificate of an independent certified public
accountant verifying that the funds on deposit after such
substitution will be sufficient and available to pay the remaining
principal of and interest on the Refunded Series 1985 Bonds and the
Series 1987 Bonds as and to the extent contemplated by Paragraph 3.
To the extent that the Certificate delivered pursuant to subparagraph (b) above
demonstrates and verifies that there are excess funds not required to be held by
the Escrow Agent hereunder to meet scheduled principal and interest payments on
the Refunded Series 1985 Bonds and the Series 1987 Bonds, such excess funds shall
be paid over to the County. Any surplus or excess funds not paid over to the
County may only be invested in Authorized Escrow Investments or time deposits or
certificates of deposit, with a firm rate of interest, issued by a bank or bank
and trust company, that are insured by a Federal depositors, insurance fund
SECOND DRAFT - November 23, 1992
administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or, to the extent not
so insured, are secured as public deposits in accordance with the laws of the
State,
10. Except as provided below, the County may direct the Escrow Agent
to invest, and the Escrow Agent shall invest, money and balances on hand
hereunder from time to time that result from maturing principal and interest on
the Obligations or earnings thereon, available for periods pending application
as herein required, but only upon receipt of an opinion from a nationally
recognized bond counsel firm that the additional investment of money and balances
on hand hereunder is not in violation of Section 103(b)(2) and Section 148 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Notwithstanding the limitations of the preceding paragraph, the
Escrow Agent shall reinvest, without further direction from the County, the
maturing principal and interest on the Obligations and certain other cash to be
available for reinvestment on the dates, in the amounts, with the maturities and
subject to the limitations, if any, set forth in Exhibit "C", which is attached
hereto and made part hereof.
Any reinvestment of the matured principal and interest on the
Obligations or other funds held hereunder shall be only in Authorized Escrow
Investments or, subject to any limitation set forth in this Agreement, time
deposits or certificates of deposit, with a firm rate of interest, issued by a
bank or bank and trust company, that are insured by a Federal depositors'
- 12 -
SECOND DRAFT - November 23, 1992
insurance fund administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or, to
the extent not so insured, are secured as public deposits in accordance with the
laws of the State, in each case stated to mature on or prior to the date when
such funds are required to be applied for the purposes required hereunder
(whereupon the term "Obligations" shall include such reinvestment obligations).
Any such Authorized Escrow Investments, other than State and Local Government
Series United States Treasury Obligations, shall be purchased in an arm's length
transaction and at an open market price; any time deposit or certificate of
deposit shall bear interest at the rate paid by the obligor to the general public
for deposits of similar size and term. Any earnings realized from such
investments or deposits or any other funds on hand from time to time that are not
required for application hereunder or purposes hereof shall be paid over to the
County, or shall be applied as directed by the County.
The Escrow Agent agrees to notify the County of balances to become
available for reinvestment as provided in this Paragraph.
11. This Agreement shall be binding upon the County and the Escrow
Agent and their respective successors in interest, from time to time.
12. This Agreement, in general, and each part of this Agreement, in
particular, immediately upon execution and delivery hereof and at all times
thereafter, shall be and shall be construed to be irrevocable.
13. Money, if any, that may be in possession of the Escrow Agent on
or after September 1, 1997, pursuant to provisions hereof, and that shall not be
- 13 -
required to meet obligations of the County hereunder, promptly shall be returned
to the County or shall be disbursed by the Escrow Agent as shall be directed, in
writing, by the County.
14. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (a)
investment of the funds held under this Agreement in time deposits or
certificates of deposit shall be limited to (i) surplus or excess funds not
required to be applied to meet scheduled principal and interest payments as set
forth in Paragraph 3 and (ii) balances in the escrow account that are not at the
time eligible for investment in State and Local Government Series United States
Treasury Obligations and that are in amounts less than which noncallable direct
obligations of the United States of America of an appropriate maturity are
available for purchase in the open market and (b) at no time may the amount of
investment in any time deposit or certificate of deposit exceed the Federally -
insured limit for such time deposit or certificate of deposit.
14. The County and the Escrow Agent intend to be bound legally
hereby.
