execute and deliver the insurance policy for the Bonds
(the "Policy") and the Policy has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by FGIC and constitutes a legal,
valid and binding obligation of FGIC enforceable in
accordance with its terms, and (C) the statements
contained in the Official Statement under the heading
"MUNICIPAL BOND INSURANCE" insofar as such statements
constitute summaries of the matters referred to
therein, accurately reflect and fairly present the
information purported to be shown and, insofar as such
statements purport to describe FGIC, fairly and
accurately describe FGIC;
(ix) A letter from each of Moody's Investors
Service and Standard & Poor's Corporation to the effect
that the Bonds have been assigned a rating no less
favorable than "Aaa" and "AAA," respectively, which

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA
Water and Sewer Revenue Refunding Bonds,
Series 1989
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Official Statement, which includes the cover
page and the appendices hereto, is to furnish information in
connection with the sale by Indian River County, Florida (the
"County") of $6,510,000 aggregate principal amount of its Water and
Sewer Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1989 (the "Series 1989 Bonds").
The Series 1989 Bonds are being issued pursuant to the authority
of the Constitution and laws of the State of Florida, including
Chapters 125 and 159, Florida Statutes, and other applicable
provisions of law (the "Act") and Resolution No. 89-19, adopted by
the County on February 14, 1989, as the same may be amended and
supplemented (collectively, the "Resolution"). The Series 1989
Bonds were validated and confirmed by judgment of the 19th Judicial
Circuit in and for Indian River County, Florida on March 27, 1989.
The appeal period for validation of the Series 1989 Bonds expires on
April 26, 1989. The Series 1989 Bonds and any additional
obligations of the County issued on a parity with the Series 1989
Bonds pursuant to the Resolution are herein referred to as the
"Bonds."
The Series 1989 Bonds are limited obligations of Indian River
County, Florida, payable by the County from and secured by a lien
upon and pledge of the Net Revenues of the System, including amounts
on deposit in the Sinking Fund, the Bond Amortization Account and
the Reserve Account established under the Resolution, all as
described herein. It is anticipated that such lien and pledge of
the Net Revenues of the System will in the future be subordinate to
a lien on the revenues and receipts of the System to be granted to
secure payment of certain bonds to be sold to FmHA pursuant to
Resolution 82-61 of the County (the "Senior Lien Bond Resolution")
and certain loan commitments between FmHA and the County. See
"FUTURE FINANCING PLANS - Prior Pledge to and Lien for Series 1986
Bonds."
Neither the County, the State of Florida nor any political
subdivision thereof has pledged its faith or credit or taxing power
to the payment of the Series 1989 Bonds. No holder of the Series
1989 Bonds shall ever have the right to compel the exercise of any
ad valorem taxing power of the County or taxation in any form of any
real property therein to pay the Series 1989 Bonds or the interest
due thereon nor be entitled to payment of the Series 1989 Bonds from
any funds of the County except as described herein.
Terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in Appendix D attached hereto.

registered and authenticated as of an interest payment date, in
which event such Bond shall bear interest from such interest payment
date; or (b) such Bond is registered and authenticated after a
Record Date (hereinafter defined) and before the next succeeding
interest payment date, in which event such Bond shall bear interest
from such interest payment date, or (c) such Bond is registered and
authenticated on or prior to the Record Date first preceding
November 1, 1989, in which event such Bond shall bear interest from
April 15, 1989; or (d) as shown by the records of the Paying Agent,
interest on such Bond is in default, in which event such Bond shall
bear interest from the date on which interest was last paid on such
Bond, until the principal amount thereof is paid.
The interest on the Series 1989 Bonds will be payable by check
drawn on the Paying Agent and will be mailed to each Registered
Owner thereof. Payment of the interest on the Series 1989 Bonds
shall be made to the Registered Owners thereof whose names and
addresses appear, at the close of business on the fifteenth (15th)
day next preceding each interest payment date (the "Record Date") on
the registration books maintained by the Paying Agent, unless the
County is in default in the payment of interest due on such interest
payment date. In the event of any such default, such defaulted
interest shall be payable to the persons in whose names the Series
1989 Bonds are registered at the close of business on a special
record date for the payment of such defaulted interest established
by notice mailed by the Paying Agent to the Registered Owners of the
Series 1989 Bonds not less than fifteen (15) days preceding such
special record date. Such notice shall be mailed to the persons in
whose names the Series 1989 Bonds are registered at the close of
business on the fifth (5th) day preceding the date of mailing. The
principal of the Series 1989 Bonds will be payable upon surrender of
the Series 1989 Bonds at the principal corporate trust office of the
Paying Agent or any successor to the Paying Agent as paying agent
under the Resolution.

for redemption; the redemption price or prices applicable to the
Bonds to be redeemed; and that on the date fixed for redemption such
Bonds will be payable at the principal corporate trust office of the

on such Bonds. If holders or Registered Owners of all such Bonds to
be redeemed file written waivers of notice with the Paying Agent,
such Bonds may be redeemed on the redemption date without necessity
of notice by mailing. Failure to mail any notice of redemption or
any defect therein or in the mailing thereof will not affect the
validity of any proceeding for redemption of other Bonds so called
for redemption.
SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT
Pledge of Net Revenues
The Series 1989 Bonds are limited obligations of the County.
The Series 1989 Bonds will be payable solely by the County from and
secured by a lien upon and pledge of the "Net Revenues" of the
System, together with such other revenues and funds which the County
may choose to pledge by subsequent resolution as described below.
Subject to the release of security as discussed below, "Net
Revenues" for purposes of the Series 1989 Bonds means Revenues less
Operating Expenses. "Revenues" as used herein means: (i) all
receipts and revenues of the County derived from the imposition,
collection and enforcement of uniform water and sewer service rates,
fees and charges for the use of and the services furnished or to be
furnished by the facilities constituting the System, including the
earnings and interest income derived from the investment of moneys
on deposit in various funds and accounts established in connection
with the System, but excluding Surcharges, Impact Fees, Special
Assessments, Franchise Fees and Fees in lieu of Franchise Fees (the
"Uniform Charges"); (ii) with the consent of the Bond Insurer so
long as any Series 1989 Bonds are outstanding, such Surcharges,
Impact Fees, Special Assessments, Franchise Fees and Fees in lieu of
Franchise Fees as the County, by resolution, may pledge specifically
in connection with the Series 1989 Bonds; and (iii) with the consent
of the Bond Insurer so long as any Series 1989 Bonds are
outstanding, such other revenues of the County as the County, by
resolution, may pledge specifically in connection with the Series
1989 Bonds.
THE REVENUES PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERIES 1989 BONDS
INCLUDE ONLY THE UNIFORM CHARGES OF THE SYSTEM AND DO NOT INCLUDE
ANY SURCHARGES, IMPACT FEES, SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS, FRANCHISE FEES,
FEES IN LIEU OF FRANCHISE FEES OR OTHER REVENUES OF THE SYSTEM,
The County may, by resolution of the Board filed with the Clerk
of the Board of County Commissioners, except and release from the
foregoing pledge and lien, and the phrase "Revenues" as used in
connection with the Series 1989 Bonds shall no longer include, the
receipts and revenues of the County derived from the Uniform Charges
for the use of and services furnished or to be furnished by any
water and/or sewer facilities constituting a physically independent
system of the County, or any Impact Fees, Special Assessments,
Surcharges, Franchise Fees, Fees in Lieu of Franchise Fees or other
receipts and revenues (other than Uniform Charges) theretofore
pledged in connection with the Series 1989 Bonds, if there shall be
filed with the Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners the
following:
(1) A certificate of an independent firm of certified
public accountants of suitable experience and
responsibility: (i) stating that the books and records of
the County relating to the collection and receipt of the
Revenues and the Operating Expenses have been audited by
them for the Fiscal Year immediately preceding the date of
the proposed release of such receipts and revenues from the
pledge hereunder or for any twelve (12) consecutive month
period out of the eighteen (18) consecutive months
immediately preceding such date; (ii) setting forth the
Revenues, the Uniform Charges, the Operating Expenses and
the Net Revenues for the audited period referred to in (i)
above, with respect to which such certificate is made; and
(iii) stating that the Net Revenues, adjusted to give
effect to the proposed release of such receipts and
revenues as if the same had occurred at the beginning of
such audited period, were equal to at least 1.20 times the
largest amount of principal and interest which will mature
and become due in any Fiscal Year thereafter on all Bonds
then outstanding. For purposes of (iii) above
(A) Revenues, Uniform Charges and Operating Expenses may be
further adjusted so as to fairly represent the operation of
the System, provided that the amount and a detailed reason
for such adjustment is set forth in such certificate;
(B) Net Revenues may also be adjusted for (I) the pro forma
effect of rates implemented prior to the proposed release
of such receipts and revenues and (II) new customers added
to the System during the test period; and (C) any amounts
owed to the issuer of a Reserve Account Credit Instrument
(hereinafter defined) as a result of a draw thereon, as
appropriate, shall be added to the principal and interest
payable on Bonds to determine compliance with the foregoing
test;
(2) A certificate of the chief financial officer of
the County stating that the County has established and will
maintain a separate accounting of all revenues and expenses
in connection with any such independent system or with
respect to such Impact Fees, Surcharges, Special
Assessments, Franchise Fees, Fees in Lieu of Franchise Fees
or other receipts and revenues to be released, apart from
the Pledged Funds; and
(3) Written consent of the Bond Insurer, if the Bond
Insurance Policy is then in effect.
For purposes of the foregoing, payments during the Fiscal Year
for: (i) principal and interest on senior lien bonds (the "Senior
Lien Bonds") to be issued in the future to FmHA pursuant to the
Senior Lien Bond Resolution ("Senior Lien Bonds Debt Service"),
(ii) any renewal and replacement fund created in connection with the
Senior Lien Bonds Resolution (the "Required Renewal Fund Payments")
and (iii) any Reserve Account created in connection with the Senior
Lien Bonds (the "Senior Lien Reserve Account Payments"), shall be
treated as Operating Expenses. All or any part of the certificate
required under subparagraph (1) above may be rendered by consulting
engineers, consultants or other persons with requisite knowledge and
experience who are not reasonably objected to by the Bond Insurer.
See "FUTURE FINANCING PLANS - Prior Pledge to and Lien for Series
1986 Bonds."
Neither the County, the State of Florida nor any political
subdivision thereof has pledged its faith or credit or taxing power
to the payment of the Series 1989 Bonds. No holder of the Series
1989 Bonds shall ever have the right to compel the exercise of any
ad valorem taxing power of the County or taxation in any form of any
real property therein to pay the Series 1989 Bonds or the interest
due thereon nor be entitled to payment of the Series 1989 Bonds from
any funds of the County except as described herein.
Insurance
The scheduled payment of principal and interest on the Series
1989 Bonds will be insured by Financial Guaranty Insurance Company
("Financial Guaranty"). The County has made no investigation and
makes no representation with respect to Financial Guaranty and the
policy, and reference should be made to the information under the
caption "MUNICIPAL BOND INSURANCE" herein and Appendix C attached
hereto for a description of Financial Guaranty and its specimen
insurance policy. The material tinder said caption and in Appendix C
has been furnished by Financial Guaranty.
Rate Covenant
The County covenants in the Resolution to establish and maintain
such Uniform Charges and, as applicable, such Surcharges, Impact
Fees, Special Assessments, Franchise Fees, Fees in lieu of Franchise
Fees and such other receipts and revenues in connection with the
System, so as to always provide either of the following:
(1) Uniform Charges less Operating Expenses sufficient to
pay (a) one hundred percent (100%) of all required deposits into
the Reserve Account, and (b) one hundred twenty percent (120%)
of the amount of principal and interest becoming due in such
Fiscal Year on the Bonds outstanding, or
(2) When the Revenues include receipts and revenues in
addition to Uniform Charges, Net Revenues in each Fiscal Year
sufficient to pay (a) one hundred percent (100%) of all required
deposits into the Reserve Account, and (b) one hundred twenty
percent (120%) of the amount of principal and interest becoming
due in such Fiscal Year on the Bonds outstanding; provided,
however, that Uniform Charges less Operating Expenses are
sufficient to pay (a) one hundred percent (100%) of all required
deposits into the Reserve Account, and (b) one hundred percent
(100%) of the amount of principal and interest becoming due in
such Fiscal Year on the Bonds outstanding.
For purposes of the foregoing rate covenant, Senior Lien Bonds
Debt Service, Required Renewal Fund Payments and Senior Lien Bonds
Reserve Account Payments shall be treated as Operating Expenses. In
addition, any amounts owed by the County to the issuer of a Reserve
Account Credit Instrument (hereinafter defined) as a result of a
draw thereon, as appropriate, shall be added to the principal and
interest payable on the Bonds to determine compliance with this rate
covenant. See "FUTURE FINANCING PLANS - Prior Pledge to and Lien
for Series 1986 Bonds."
Flow of Funds for Series 1989 Bonds
Under the Resolution, the County has covenanted that all
Revenues shall upon receipt thereof be deposited in the "Water and
Sewer Revenue Fund" (the "Revenue Fund"). The Revenues are subject
to the prior pledge and lien granted with respect to the Senior Lien
Bonds, when issued, under the Senior Lien Bond Resolution.
Subject to the prior pledge and lien granted with respect to the
Senior Lien Bonds and the flow of funds with respect thereto (See
"SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT - Flow of Funds under Senior Lien
Bond Resolution"), all Revenues on deposit in the Revenue Fund for
the Series 1989 Bonds shall be disposed of by the County subject to
the following order of priority:
(1) First, the Countv shall transfer in each month to the
Operation and Maintenance Fund the amount required to be
deposited therein to pay the Operating Expenses due or to become
due for such month, provided, however, that credit shall be
given for funding of such month's Operating Expenses under the
Senior Lien Bond Resolution to fund an Operation and Maintenance
Fund.
(2) Second, the County shall deposit in each month to a
fund to be known as the "Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds Sinking
Fund" (the "Sinking Fund"), one-sixth (1/6th) of such sum as
will be sufficient to pay interest on the Bonds as the same
shall become due on the next interest payment date, together
with the amount of any deficiency in prior deposits for interest
on Bonds, and one --twelfth (1/12th) of the principal of Bonds
maturing or subject to mandatory call for redemption on the next
principal payment date with respect to the Bonds. Such deposits
shall take into account the sums, if any, in the Bond
Amortization Account (hereinafter defined) attributable to such
payments and the sums, if any, deposited in the Sinking Fund out
of proceeds from the sale of Bonds to pay interest thereon. In
addition, there shall be deposited in the Sinking Fund amounts
sufficient to pay the fees and charges of the Paying Agent.
(3) Third, the County shall deposit into an account in the
Sinking Fund to be known as the "Bond Amortization Account,"
such sums as are required by resolution of the County to be
deposited therein at such times as are required thereby for each
series of Term Bonds for purposes of the mandatory redemption
thereof.
(4) Fourth, the County shall deposit into an account in
the Sinking Fund to be known as the "Reserve Account," a sum at
least equal to and sufficient to pay the maximum amount of
principal and interest on all outstanding Series 1989 Bonds
becoming due in any ensuing Fiscal Year. A sum to be specified
by subsequent resolution of the County will be deposited in the
Reserve Account out of the proceeds of the sale of Series 1989
Bonds. To the extent the amount deposited in the Reserve
Account out of the proceeds of the sale of the Series 1989 Bonds
is less than the maximum amount of principal and interest on all
outstanding Series 1989 Bonds becoming due in any ensuing Fiscal
Year, the County will make such additional required payments or
substitutions therefor as described herein.
Provided, however, in no Fiscal Year shall Net Revenues in
excess of twenty percent (20%) of the maximum amount of
principal and interest on all outstanding Bonds becoming due in
any ensuing Fiscal Year be required to be deposited in the
Reserve Account, except as may be required by Section 16,
subsections P or Z of the Resolution. No further deposits shall
be required to be made into the Reserve Account as long as there
shall remain on deposit therein (including any Reserve Account
Credit Instrument as described below) a sum equal to the maximum
amount of principal and interest on all outstanding Bonds
becoming due in any ensuing Fiscal Year. The value of the
Reserve Account, including investments on deposit in the Reserve
Account, shall be determined annually on the first day of the
Fiscal Year by an independent firm of certified public
accountants, who may be the accountants for the County, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of, in whole or in part,
the required deposits into the Reserve Account, the County may
cause to be deposited into the Reserve Account any of the
following (each a "Reserve Account Credit Instrument"):
(a) A surety bond or insurance policy issued to the
Paying Agent, as agent of the Bondholders, by a company
licensed to issue an insurance policy guaranteeing the
timely payment of debt service on the Bonds (a "municipal
bond insurer"), if the claims paying ability of the issuer
thereof shall be rated "AAA" or "Aaa" by Standard & Poor's
Corporation ("S&P") or Moody's Investors Service
("Moody's"), respectively;
(b) A surety bond or insurance policy issued to the
Paying Agent, as agent of the Bondholders, by an entity
other than a municipal bond insurer, if the form and
substance of such instrument and the issuer thereof shall
be approved by the Bond Insurer; or
(c) An unconditional irrevocable letter of credit
issued to the Paying Agent, as agent of the Bondholders, by
a bank, if such bank is rated at least "AA" by S&P.
Any such Reserve Account Credit Instrument shall meet the
further terms and conditions described in Section 16, subsection
Z of the Resolution and shall be payable or available to be
drawn upon, as the case may be (upon the giving of notice as
required thereunder), by the Paying Agent on any interest
payment date on which a deficiency exists which cannot be cured
by money in any other fund or account held pursuant hereto and
available for such purpose. It shall be the duty of the Paying
Agent to, and the Paying Agent shall, without further
authorization or direction from the County, ascertain the
necessity for a claim or draw upon any Reserve Account Credit
Instrument and provide notice to the issuer of the Reserve
Account Credit Instrument in accordance with its terms not later
than three days (or such appropriate time period as will, when
combined with the timing of required payment under the Reserve
Account Credit Instrument, ensure payment under the Reserve
Account Credit Instrument on or before the interest payment
date) prior to each interest payment date. If a disbursement is
made under any such Reserve Account Credit Instrument, the
County may reinstate the maximum limits of such Reserve Account
Credit Instrument immediately following such disbursement,
otherwise the amount of credit toward the Reserve Account
10
requirement for such Reserve Account Credit Instrument shall be
appropriately reduced.
Furthermore, the County may at any time and from time to time
cause to be deposited in the Reserve Account such Reserve
Account Credit Instrument and cause an appropriate amount to be
withdrawn from the Reserve Account and released to the County.
Moneys in the Reserve Account shall be used only for the purpose
of the payment of maturing principal of or interest on Bonds
when the other moneys in the Sinking Fund are insufficient
therefor, and for no other purpose. However, upon the valuation
of the Reserve Account in each year, if the moneys applied and
allocated to the Reserve Account (except the investment income
thereon) exceed the amount required, such excess may be
withdrawn and released to the County. If the Reserve Account
requirement shall at any time be satisfied in whole or in part
with a qualifying letter of credit and such letter of credit is
about to expire or terminate, the County authorizes and directs
the Paying Agent to draw upon such letter of credit prior to its
expiration or termination to the extent required to fully fund
the Reserve Account requirement unless a replacement Reserve
Account Credit Instrument is in place or the Reserve Account is
otherwise fully funded in its required amount.
(5) Fifth, moneys in the Revenue Fund shall be applied to
the payment of current debt service and reserve requirements of
any obligations of the County issued to finance the cost of
additions, acquisition, extensions and improvements to the
System which are junior and subordinate to the lien of the
Series 1989 Bonds on the Pledged Funds.
(6) Sixth, the balance of any moneys remaining in the
Revenue Fund after the above required payments have been made
may be (a) deposited into a special fund to be known as the
"Sewer and Water Renewal and Replacement Fund," which shall be
used only for the purpose of paying the costs of extensions,
enlargements, or additions to or the replacement of capital
assets of the System, and for emergency repairs thereto or
(b) used by the County for any lawful purpose.
No further deposits to the Sinking Fund, the Bond Amortization
Account or the Reserve Account shall be required when the aggregate
sums deposited therein are and remain at least equal to the sum of
all of the principal and interest then due and thereafter becoming
due in all ensuing years for the Series 1989 Bonds then
outstanding.
Flow of Funds under Senior Lien Bond Resolution
While any Senior Lien Bonds are outstanding, the gross revenues
and receipts of the System pledged for payment of the Senior Lien
Bonds, which include the Revenues pledged in connection with the
Series 1989 Bonds, will be utilized by the County in the following
11
order of priority before the Revenues are available under the
Resolution for payment of the Series 1989 Bonds or any Additional
Parity Bonds:
(1) First, the County shall transfer each month to the
sinking fund for the Senior Lien Bonds created under the Senior
Lien Bond Resolution, if any Senior Lien Bonds are then
outstanding, the amount required by the Senior Lien Bond
Resolution to be deposited therein monthly to provide for timely
payment of the principal and interest on the Senior Lien Bonds
currently becoming due and payable.
(2) Second, while any Senior Lien Bonds are outstanding,
the County shall transfer and deposit to the credit of the
reserve account in the Sinking Fund for the Senior Lien Bonds
under the Senior Lien Bond Resolution, the sum of 1/12 of lo% of
the "Maximum Bond Service Requirement," as that phrase is
defined in the Senior. Lien Bond Resolution, on the Senior Lien
Bonds until such time as the funds and investments therein shall
equal such Maximum Bond Service Requirement, and monthly
thereafter such amount as may be necessary to maintain in such
reserve account the Maximum Bond Service Requirement, but not
exceeding 1/12 of the Maximum Bond Service Requirement monthly.
In connection with Senior Lien Bond Resolution and the Senior
Lien Bonds, the County may be required to fully fund the Maximum
Bond Service Requirement prior to making any payment with
respect to the Series 1989 Bonds. Under the Resolution, the
County has covenanted that in such event it will promptly fully
fund such Maximum Bond Service Requirement of the Senior Lien
Bonds with available revenues and funds other than the Revenues
pledged to secure the Series 1989 Bonds or ad valorem taxes,
unless the Bond Insurer shall agree otherwise.
(3) Third, the County shall transfer in each month to the
Operation and Maintenance Fund the amount required to be
deposited therein to pay the Operating Expenses due or to become
due for such month.
(4) Fourth, while any Senior Lien Bonds are outstanding,
the County shall transfer and deposit into a special fund to be
known as the "Indian River County Water and Sewer System Renewal
and Replacement Fund," an amount equal to 1/12 of 5% of the
gross revenues of the System (excluding Impact Fees) for the
preceding Fiscal Year. Such fund shall be used only for the
purpose of paying the cost of extensions, enlargements,
improvements or additions to or the replacement of capital
assets of the System, and for emergency repairs thereto. Impact
Fees on deposit in the Renewal and Replacement Fund shall only
be used to pay the cost of extensions, enlargements,
improvements or additions to the System made necessary by the
inclusion of new customers of the System.
12
(5) Fifth, the balance of any moneys remaining after the
above required payments have been made may be used by the County
for any lawful purpose.
FUTURE FINANCING PLANS
Prior Pledge to and Lien for Series 1986 Bonds
In December 1987 the County issued 6 3/8% Water and Sewer
Revenue Bonds, Anticipation Notes in an aggregate principal amount
of $9,200,000 ("1986 Anticipation Notes") in anticipation of the
receipt by the County of the proceeds from the sale of its
$9,200,000 Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 1986 (the "Series
1986 Bonds"). The County currently anticipates that the Series 1986
Bonds will be sold to FmHA pursuant to the laws of the State of
Florida, Resolution No. 86-35 and the Senior Lien Bond Resolution,
as amended and supplemented (collectively, the "Series 1986 Bond
Resolution"), and certain Letters of Condition between FmHA and the
County ("FmHA Letters of Condition"), on or prior to December 1,
1990. Pursuant to the Series 1986 Bond Resolution and the FmHA
Letters of Condition the County anticipates that it will pledge to,
and grant a lien on, the revenues and receipts of the System for
payment of the Series 1986 Bonds when issued, with such pledge and
lien being senior to the pledge of, and lien on, the Net Revenues of
the System for payment of the Series 1989 Bonds.
FmHA has also issued a commitment to provide a $450,000 loan to
the County for the purchase and improvement of a utility system in
the "Bent Pine" area of the County, subject to fulfillment by the
County of certain conditions (the "Bent Pine Commitment'). Any
bonds sold to FmHA issued by the County in connection with the Bent
Pine Commitment would likely involve a pledge of, and grant of a
lien on, the revenues and receipts of the System, which pledge and
lien would also be senior to the pledge of, and lien on, the Net
Revenues of the System granted to secure payment of the Series 1989
Bonds.
Other than bonds sold to FmHA as described above (the "Senior
Lien Bonds"), the County shall not issue any other bonds or
obligations senior to or having priority to the Net Revenues of the
System pledged for payment of the Series 1989 Bonds.
Issuance of Additional Parity Bonds
Additional Parity Bonds, payable on a parity from the Net
Revenues with the Series 1989 Bonds, may be issued from time to time
to finance any portion of the costs of the construction and/or
acquisition of additions, extensions and improvements to the System,
or of any physically separate water or sewer system declared by
resolution of the Board to be part of the System, or for refunding
purposes, in the manner herein_ provided.
13
Before issuing any such Additional Parity Bonds, there shall
have been obtained and filed with the County a certificate of an
independent firm of certified public accountants of suitable
experience and responsibility: (i) stating that the books and
records of the County relating to the collection and receipt of the
Revenues and the Operating Expenses have been audited by them for
the Fiscal Year immediately preceding the date of sale of the
proposed obligations or for any twelve (12) consecutive month period
out of the eighteen (18) consecutive months immediately preceding
the date of sale of the proposed obligations; (ii) setting forth the
Revenues, the Uniform Charges, the Operating Expenses and the Net
Revenues for the audited period referred to in (i) above, with
respect to which such certificate is made; and (iii) stating that:
(a) during such audited period, the County was in
compliance with the rate covenant previously discussed; and
(b) the Net Revenues, as adjusted as hereinafter provided,
were equal to at least 1.20 times the largest amount of
principal and interest which will mature and become due in any
Fiscal Year thereafter on all Bonds then outstanding, including
the proposed Additional Parity Bonds; and when the Revenues
include receipts and revenues in addition to Uniform Charges,
the Uniform Charges less Operating Expenses, adjusted as
hereinafter provided, were equal to at least 1.00 times the
largest amount of principal and interest that will mature and
become due in any Fiscal Year thereafter on all Bonds
outstanding, including the proposed Additional Parity Bonds.
For purposes of (iii) above: (A) Revenues, Uniform Charges and
Operating Expenses may be adjusted so as to fairly represent the
operation of the System, provided that the amount and a detailed
reason for each such adjustment is set forth in such certificate;
(B) Net Revenues may also be adjusted for (i) the pro forma effect
of rates implemented prior to issuance of the Additional Parity
Bonds, (ii) new customers added to the System during the test
period, (iii) already existing occupied residences or operating
business establishments which will be connected to the System upon
completion of projects under construction or to be funded with bond
proceeds, and (iv) Net Revenues attributable to customers for whom
Impact Fees have been paid, and which will be connected to the
System upon completion of projects under construction or to be
funded with bond proceeds (provided that while the Series 1989 Bonds
are outstanding and the Bond Insurance Policy is in effect, not more
than 40% of the Net Revenues described in this subclause (iv) shall
be used as an adjustment under this clause (B) without the consent
of the Bond Insurer); and (C) any amounts owed by the County to the
issuer of a Reserve Account Credit Instrument as a result of a draw
thereon, as appropriate, shall be added to the principal and
interest payable thereon on the Bonds to determine compliance with
the foregoing test.

For purposes of the foregoing, Senior Lien Debt Service,
Required Renewal Fund Payments and Senior Lien Bonds Reserve Account
Payments shall be treated as Operating Expenses. All or any part of
the certificate required under the second paragraph of this
subsection may be rendered by consulting engineers, consultants or
other persons with requisite knowledge and experience who are not
reasonably objected to by the Bond Insurer. See "FUTURE FINANCING
PLANS - Prior Pledge to and Lien for Series 1986 Bonds."
Additional Parity Bonds may not be issued at any time at which
the County is in default in performing any of the covenants and
obligations under the Resolution, or all payments herein required to
have been made into the accounts and funds, as provided under the
Resolution, have not been made to the full extent required.
The foregoing conditions shall not apply with respect to
Additional Parity Bonds the proceeds of which will be used to
complete a project a substantial portion of the cost of which has
been or will be paid out of the proceeds of Bonds issued under the
Resolution.
The County covenants for the benefit of the Registered Owners of
the Series 1989 Bonds and any other Bonds issued and outstanding
under the Resolution that the County shall, at the time of issuance
of any Additional Parity Bonds, make a deposit to the Reserve
Account in the Sinking Fund created under the Resolution so that the
Reserve Account shall have a value of cash and investments at such
time equal to the maximum amount of principal and interest on all
outstanding Bonds (including the Additional Parity Bonds and giving
effect to the retirement of any Bonds being refunded with proceeds
of the Additional Parity Bonds) becoming due in any ensuing fiscal
year, unless the Bond Insurer shall agree otherwise.
The County presently has outstanding an aggregate of $3,900,000,
6 7/8% Water Revenue Bonds, Series 1988, Anticipation Notes due
December 1, 1991 (the "1988 Anticipation Notes"). Such Notes were
issued in anticipation of the receipt by the County of the proceeds
from the future sale of its Water Revenue Bonds, Series 1988 which
have been authorized in an amount up to $4,000,000 (the "Series 1988
Bonds"). The County expects that the Series 1988 Bonds will be sold
at public or private sale pursuant to the laws of the State of
Florida and Resolution No. 88-44 duly adopted by the County on
August 2, 1988, as amended and supplemented from time to time, on or
prior to the maturity of the 1988 Anticipation Notes. Upon
issuance, the Series 1988 Bonds will be either (i) payable on a
parity from the Net Revenues with the Series 1989 Bonds or
(ii) payable from and secured by a pledge of and lien upon the
Surcharges from the North Beach Water System operations of the
System, which Surcharges are not included in the Net Revenues
pledged in the Resolution as of the date hereof.

MUNICIPAL BOND INSURANCE
Concurrently with the issuance of the Series 1989 Bonds,
Financial Guaranty Insurance Company ("Financial Guaranty") will
issue its Municipal Bond New Issue Insurance Policy for the Series
1989 Bonds (the "Policy"). The Policy unconditionally guarantees
the payment of that portion of the principal of and interest on the
Series 1989 Bonds which has become due for payment, but shall be
unpaid by reason of nonpayment by the County. Financial Guaranty
will make such payments to Citibank, N.A., or its successor as its
agent (the "Fiscal Agent"), on the later of the date on which such
principal and interest is due or on the business day next following
the day on which Financial Guaranty shall have received telephonic
or telegraphic notice, subsequently confirmed in writing, or written
notice by registered or certified mail, from an owner of Series 1989
Bonds or the Paying Agent of the nonpayment of such amount by the
County. The Fiscal Agent will disburse such amount due on any
Series 1989 Bond to its owner upon receipt by the Fiscal Agent of
evidence satisfactory to the Fiscal Agent of the owner's right to
receive payment of the principal and interest due for payment and
evidence, including any appropriate instruments of assignment, that
all of such owner's rights to payment of such principal and interest
shall be vested in Financial Guaranty. The term "nonpayment" in
respect of a Series 1989 Bond includes any payment of principal or
interest made to an owner of a Series 1989 Bond which has been
recovered from such owner pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy
Code by a trustee in bankruptcy in accordance with a final,
nonappealable order of a court having competent jurisdiction.
The Policy is non -cancellable and the premium will be fully paid
at the time of delivery of the Series 1989 Bonds. The Policy covers
failure to pay principal of the Series 1989 Bonds on their
respective stated maturity dates, or dates on which the same shall
have been duly called for mandatory sinking fund redemption, and not
on any other date on which the Series 1989 Bonds may have been
accelerated, and covers the failure to pay an installment of
interest on the stated date for its payment.
Financial Guaranty is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FGIC
Corporation (the "Corporation"), a Delaware holding company. The
Corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of General Electric Capital
Corporation ("GECC"). Neither the Corporation nor GECC is obligated
to pay the debts of or the claims against Financial Guaranty.

THE SYSTEM
General
The County owns and operates water and sewer systems
(collectively, the "System"), which were established in 1978. The
County provides water and sewer services to a portion of the
County's population, with a majority of the other County residents
being serviced by private wells and septic tanks and the City of
Vero Beach, Florida, which operates its own water and sewer systems.
17
The County presently operates two water plants, the South County
plant ("South County Plant") and the North Beach plant ("North Beach
Plant"). The water plants have a present nominal capacity of 3
million gallons per day ("MGD"). In addition, the County purchases
750,000 gallons of water per day from the City of Vero Beach,
Florida. The County is currently expanding the storage capacity of
the South County Plant to 5 million gallons, which expansion is
expected to be completed by the summer of 1989. Also under
construction is a transmission line connecting different areas of
the County's water system. On November 1, 1988, the County
consummated the purchase of the business and assets of the North
Beach Water Company consisting of the North Beach Plant and a
distribution system in the northern portion of the County ("NBWC
System").
The County's sewer system currently consists of four small
wastewater plants and two regional plants. The County also has the
right to have treated up to 1.39 MGD at the municipally -owned Vero
Beach wastewater plant. The County is expanding each of its
regional plants from a treatment capacity of 1 MGD to a capacity of
2 MGD, with completion of such expansion expected in 2 years.
System Staff
The System presently employs 58 persons. The System is managed
by Terrance G. Pinto, Director of Utilities. It is the opinion of
management that the System enjoys excellent labor relations.
Water and Sewer Customers
The number of County water and sewer customers, expressed as the
number of equivalent residential units ("ERUs"), for the years
1984-1988 is set forth below:

9,552
The NBWC System presently provides approximately 2,000
additional Water ERUs.
Rate Structure
Rates charged by the County for water service and sewer service
are charged upon reservation of such service. For water service the
County charges a $1.82 billing charge per connection, a $5.34 base
facility charge per ERU per month and $1.99 volume charge per 1,000
gallons of water consumption. For sewer service the billing charge
is $1.84 per connection, the base facility charge is $1.53 per ERU
18
per month and the volume charge is $2.86 per 1,000 gallons of water
consumption. Since February 1, 1987 a 6% surcharge has been added
to the current monthly charge. In addition, customers of the NBWC
System are charged up to an additional $13.00 surcharge per ERU per
month.
Outstanding Debt
As of February 28, 1989, there was an aggregate of $21,978,200
principal amount of indebtedness of the County outstanding in
connection with the System, consisting of (i) $8,878,200 outstanding
principal amount of the Original Bonds, (ii) $9,200,000 outstanding
principal amount of the 1986 Anticipation Notes, and
(iii) $3,900,000 principal amount of 1988 Anticipation Notes.

SUMMARY OF CERTAIN
PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION
The following constitutes a summary of certain provisions of the
Resolution. This summary does not purport to be a complete
description of the terms of the Resolution and accordingly, is
qualified by reference thereto and subject to the full text
thereof. Copies of the Resolution may be obtained from the County.
The covenants of the County set forth in the Resolution are subject
to any stricter covenants which may be imposed upon the County in
the Senior Lien Bond Resolution, which shall be observed while any
Senior Lien Bonds are outstanding.
Retirement of Original Bonds. The Resolution authorizes the
County to purchase and redeem the Original Bonds with proceeds of
the Series 1989 Bonds pursuant to and as more fully described in the
letter dated January 10, 1989, to the County from FmHA, the holder
of the Original Bonds.
27
Non -Arbitrage and Tax Covenants. The County covenants in the
Resolution that it will make no use of the proceeds of the Series
1989 Bonds which would cause the Series 1989 Bonds to be "arbitrage
bonds" within the meaning of Section 103(b)(2) and Section 148 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and it will comply
with all other requirements of applicable provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Application of the Bond Proceeds. All moneys received from the
sale of the Series 1989 Bonds shall be deposited and applied by the
County as follows:
(1) All accrued interest on the Series 1989 Bonds shall be
deposited into the Sinking Fund and applied exclusively for the
payment of interest first becoming due on the Series 1989 Bonds.
(2) A sum, if any, specified by subsequent resolution of
the County shall be deposited into the Reserve Account in the
Sinking Fund.
(3) The amount necessary to purchase and redeem all of the
outstanding Original Bonds shall be paid to the FWA.
(4) Next, the amount necessary to pay all engineering
fees, costs and expenses of financial reports, studies and
projections, legal fees, fees of financial advisors, insurance
premiums, costs of the issuance of the Series 1989 Bonds, and all
other similar costs incurred in connection with the retirement of
the original Bonds and the issuance of the Series 1989 Bonds shall
be paid or provided for.
If for any reason any proceeds of the Series 1989 Bonds are not
necessary for or are not applied to the payment of such costs, then
such moneys shall be deposited by the County into the Sinking Fund
and used only to pay the principal of and interest on the Series
1989 Bonds.
A Rebate Account is established wherein amounts sufficient to
pay the United States of America all amounts due with respect to the
Series 1989 Bonds under the provisions of Section 148(f) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or under similar
provisions of subsequent Federal revenue laws will be transferred
from the funds and accounts created under the Resolution.
Investments. All moneys in all funds and accounts created by
the Resolution, including without limitation, the Revenue Fund, the
Sinking Fund, the Bond Amortization Account and the Reserve Account,
must be secured in the manner by which deposits of public funds are
authorized to be secured by State law and may be invested only in
those investments specified in Section 125.31 Florida Statutes (the
Authorized Investments"). Moneys on deposit in the Revenue Fund
and the Sinking Fund (except the Reserve Account therein) may be
invested and reinvested only in Authorized Investments maturing not
later than the date on which the proceeds thereof will be needed.
28
Moneys in the Reserve Account may be invested and reinvested in
Authorized Investments maturing not later than five (5) years from
the date of purchase. Except as may be provided in a resolution
adopted in connection with the issuance of Additional Parity Bonds,
any and all income from such investments shall be deposited into the
Rebate Account to the extent required and the excess, if any, into
the Revenue Account.
Defeasance. If at any time the County shall have paid, or shall
have made provision for the payment of, the principal, interest and
premiums, if any, with respect to any of the Series 1989 Bonds,
then, and in that event, the pledge of and lien on the Pledged Funds
in favor of the Registered owners of such Bonds shall no longer be
in effect. The Resolution provides that, for purposes of the
preceding sentence, the deposit of sufficient cash and/or direct
obligations of the United States or obligations the principal of and
interest on which are fully guaranteed by the United States, none of
which permit redemption prior to maturity at the option of the
obligor ("Federal Securities"), or bank certificates of deposit
fully secured as to principal and interest by Federal Securities (or
deposit of any other securities or investments which may be
authorized by law from time to time and sufficient under such law to
effect such a defeasance) in irrevocable trust with a banking
institution or trust company, for the sole benefit of the Holders,
the principal of and interest on which will be sufficient to pay
when due the outstanding Series 1989 Bonds, shall be considered
'.provision for payment".
Events of Default: Remedies. No event of default is expressly
stated in the Resolution. In addition, no trustee has been
appointed under the Resolution to enforce any failure by the County
to pay principal of or interest on the Series 1989 Bonds, when due,
or to enforce any remedies provided by the Resolution to the holders
of the Series 1989 Bonds. In determining whether an event of
default has occurred no effect shall be given to payments made by
the Bond Insurer. No remedial action shall be taken without the
consent of the Bond Insurer and the Bond Insurer acting alone, shall
have the right to direct remedies upon default. Subject to the
foregoing, any Holder of any Series 1989 Bond may either at law or
in equity by suit, action, mandamus or other proceeding in any court
of competent jurisdiction, protect or enforce any and all rights
existing under Florida law or granted and contained in the
Resolution, and may enforce and compel the performance of all duties
required by the Resolution or by any applicable state or Federal
statutes to be performed by the County or any officer thereof.
Modification. No adverse material. modification or amendment of
the Resolution, or of any resolution amendatory thereof or
supplemental thereto, may be made without the consent in writing of
the Holders of 51% or more in aggregate principal amount of the
Series 1989 Bonds and any Additional Parity Bonds then outstanding
affected by such adverse material modification or amendment;
provided, however, that no modification or amendment shall permit a
change in the maturity of any Series 1989 Bonds or any Additional
29
Parity Bonds or a reduction in the rate of interest thereon or in
the amount of the principal obligation thereof, or affect the
unconditional promise of the County to levy, impose and/or collect
the Revenues, or to pay the principal of and interest on the Series
1989 Bonds or any Additional Parity Bonds as the same shall become
due or reduce the percentage required above for an adverse material
modification or amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all
of the Series 1989 Bonds or any Additional Parity Bonds affected
thereby. The foregoing shall not apply with respect to supplemental
resolutions adopted for the sole purpose of issuing Additional
Parity Bonds or junior and subordinate obligations issued in
accordance with the Resolution or any resolution authorizing the
issuance of Senior Lien Bonds to FmHA as contemplated by the
Resolution.
Operation and Maintenance. The County will maintain the System
and all parts thereof in good condition and will operate the same in
an efficient and economical manner making such expenditures for
equipment and for renewals, repairs and replacements as may be
proper for the economical operation and maintenance thereof.
No Mortgage or Sale of the System. The County will not sell,
mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber the System or any part
thereof, or any Revenues to be derived therefrom, except as provided
in the Resolution (which contemplates, without limitation, the
issuance of Senior Lien Bonds to the FmHA and the issuance of
Additional Parity Bonds), and will not sell, lease or otherwise
dispose of any substantial portion of the System, except as set
forth below.
The County may sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the property
comprising a substantial portion of the System in the event that
(a) such property is determined by resolution of the Board, upon the
recommendation of the County Administrator and the Consulting
Engineers, to be no longer necessary or useful or profitable for the
System; and (b) the sale, lease or other disposition of such
property is determined by resolution of the Board, upon
recommendation of the County Administrator and the Consulting
Engineers, not to impair the ability of the County to comply during
the current or any future Fiscal Year with the rate covenant set
forth above.
The proceeds derived from any sale, lease or other disposition
of a substantial portion of the System shall be used for the
retirement of outstanding Series 1989 Bonds, subject to the prior
application thereof for any then outstanding Senior Lien Bonds. Any
other proceeds derived from the sale, lease or other disposition of
a portion of the System shall be placed in an appropriate fund of
the County relating to the renewal or replacement of the System,
provided, however, all or a portion of any such proceeds may be used
for the retirement of outstanding Series 1989 Bonds if authorized by
resolution of the Board upon the recommendation of the County
Administrator and the Consulting Engineers.
30
Insurance. For so long as any of the Series 1989 Bonds are
outstanding, and to the extent practicable, the County will carry
adequate fire and windstorm insurance on all buildings, structures
and other appropriate properties of the System which are subject to
loss through fire or windstorm, will carry adequate public liability
insurance, and will otherwise carry insurance of all kinds and in
the amounts normally carried in the operation of similar facilities
and properties in Florida. Any such insurance shall be carried for
the benefit of the Registered Owners of the Series 1989 Bonds,
subject to the prior application thereof for any then outstanding
Senior Lien Bonds. All moneys received from losses under any of
such insurance, except public liability, are hereby pledged by the
County as security for the Series 1989 Bonds, until and unless such
proceeds are used to remedy the loss or damage for which such
proceeds are received, in which event the repairing of the property
damaged or the replacement of the property destroyed shall be
commenced within a reasonable time after the receipt of such
proceeds and shall proceed on a reasonable and continuous basis.
No Free Service. The County will not render or cause to be
rendered any free use of any nature of the System, nor will any
preferential rates be established for users of the same class.
Operating Budget. On or before the last day of each Fiscal
Year, the County shall adopt an annual budget for the System for the
ensuing Fiscal Year, which shall include a budget for Operating
Expenses, The Operating Expenses incurred in any Fiscal Year will
not exceed the reasonable and necessary amounts required therefor
and the County will not expend any amount or incur any obligation
for the operation, maintenance and repair of the System in excess of
the amount provided for the purpose in the annual budget for the
then current Fiscal Year except upon resolution of the Board
declaring that such expenses are necessary for the operation and
maintenance of the System.
If the budget discloses that the estimated Revenues and other
revenues, funds and receipts pledged hereunder, if any, will be
insufficient during such Fiscal Year, after payment of the Operating
Expenses, to meet the rate covenant set forth herein, the County
shall forthwith revise the rates, fees and charges imposed with
respect to the System in order to cure such estimated deficiency and
to comply with the rate covenant. There shall be included in the
budget amounts necessary to provide for the orderly replacement of
the depreciable capital assets of the System.
Consulting Engineers. The County will annually retain the
Consulting Engineers for the purpose of providing the County with
competent engineering counsel with respect to the economical and
efficient operation of the entire water and sewer system of the
County and in connection with the making of capital improvements
thereto and renewals and replacements thereof. The County may,
however, employ additional engineers at any time with relation to
specific engineering and operation problems arising in connection
therewith.
31
No Competing Systems. To the full extent permitted by law, the
County will not grant, renew, extend or allow to expand any
franchise or permit for any system similar to the System within the
service area of the System.
TAX EXEMPTION
In the opinion of Rhoads & Sinon, Boca Raton, Florida, Bond
Counsel, assuming continuing compliance by the County with certain
covenants to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), in order to preserve the federal
income tax exemption of the interest on the Series 1989 Bonds,
interest on the Series 1989 Bonds is exempt from present federal
income taxes under existing statutes, regulations and decisions;
provided, however, that such exemption does not extend to
corporations to the extent that they are required to include such
interest in the calculation and payment of alternative minimum taxes
imposed under the Code, or the "Environmental Tax" under Section 59A
of the Code, or to certain foreign corporations doing business in
the United States of America to the extent that they are subject to
the branch profits tax imposed under Section 884 of the Code.
Further, interest on the Series 1989 Bonds is not an item of tax
preference for purposes of calculating the federal alternative
minimum taxes imposed on individuals and corporations.
Interest on the Series 1989 Bonds is exempt from taxation under
the laws of the State of Florida, except as to estate taxes and
taxes imposed by Chapter 220, Florida Statutes, on interest, income
or profits on debt obligations owned by corporations, banks, and
savings associations.
The County will issue its certificate to the effect that on the
basis of the facts, estimates and circumstances in existence on the
date of delivery of the Series 1989 Bonds, it is not expected that
proceeds of the Series 1989 Bonds will be used in a manner that
would cause the Series 1989 Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" under
Section 103(b)(2) of the Code, as contemplated by the United States
Treasury regulations relating to "arbitrage bonds". Such
certificate will be accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel, based
upon the facts, estimates and circumstances set forth in said
certificate, that the Series 1989 Bonds are not currently "arbitrage
bonds," under existing statutes, regulations and decisions.
Corporate Alternative Minimum Taxes; Environmental Tax; Branch
Profits Tax
Interest on the Series 1989 Bonds may be includible in a
corporation's "adjusted net book income" or "adjusted current
earnings" upon which alternative minimum taxable income is
calculated for tax years beginning in 1987 and thereafter, and such
interest may also be included in corporate alternative minimum
taxable income that is subject to the environmental tax imposed
under Section 59A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
32
(the "Code"). In addition, such interest may be includible in the
amount upon which certain foreign corporations are required to pay
the branch profits tax imposed under Section 884 of the Code.
Prospective corporate purchasers of the Series 1989 Bonds should
consult their professional tax advisors concerning the potential
impact of receipt of interest income on such Bonds upon their
Federal tax liability.
Financial Institutions' Costs of Carrying Tax -Exempt Bonds
Under the Code, financial institutions are denied 100 percent of
the interest expense deduction that is allocable, by formula, to the
carrying of tax-exempt obligations acquired after August 7, 1986;
the former provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, which
provided for a 20 percent disallowance of the interest expense
deduction, continues to apply with respect to tax-exempt obligations
acquired on or before August 7, 1986, as well as to new issues
specifically designated as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" under
Section 265 of the Code, as discussed below.
A general exception to the 100 percent disallowance rule of
Section 265 of the Code is provided for certain tax-exempt
obligations that are not "private activity bonds" as defined in the
Code (other than "qualified 501(c)(3) bonds") and that are issued by
a governmental issuer that reasonably expects to issue (together
with any of its subordinate entities and authorities) not more than
$10,000,000 in principal amount of tax-exempt obligations in the
same calendar year. The exception applies only if the issuer
specifically designates the issue as "qualified tax-exempt
obligations" under Section 265 of the Code.
Financial institutions considering the purchase of the Series
1989 Bonds should consult with their professional tax advisors to
determine the effect of the interest expense disallowance related to
tax-exempt bonds upon their Federal income tax liability.
The Series 1989 Bonds have not been designated by the issuer as
"qualified tax-exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 265 of
the Code.
Other Federal Income Tax Consequences
Ownership of the Series 1989 Bonds may also result in other
Federal income tax consequences to certain taxpayers, including, but
not limited to, financial institutions, property and casualty
insurance companies, certain subchapter S 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 bonds. No opinion
or representation concerning these matters is being given or made by
the issuer of the Series 1989 Bonds, Bond Counsel or any other party
associated with issuance, offering or sale of the Series 1989
33
Bonds. Prospective purchasers of the Series 1989 Bonds should
consult their own tax advisors concerning these matters.
NON -ARBITRAGE BONDS
The County has covenanted in the Resolution with the purchasers
of the Series 1989 Bonds that it will make no use of the proceeds of
the Series 1989 Bonds which will cause the Series 1989 Bonds to be
or become "arbitrage bonds," and has further covenanted in the
Resolution to comply with the requirements of Section 103 and 148 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations
promulgated thereunder from time to time, during the term of the
Series 1989 Bonds, if and to the extent applicable to maintain
continuously the Federal income tax exemption of interest on the
Series 1989 Bonds. Officials of the County have executed a
certificate concerning the use of the proceeds of the Series 1989
Bonds in conformity with regulations issued under Sections 103 and
148 of the Code.
LITIGATION
In the opinion of the County Attorney, no legal proceedings are
pending or threatened that materially affect the County's ability to
perform its obligations to the holders of the Series 1989 Bonds or
that materially affect the financial condition of the System.
In the opinion of the County Attorney, there is no litigation or
controversy of any nature now pending or, to the County's knowledge,
threatened to restrain or enjoin the issuance, sale, execution or
delivery of the Series 1989 Bonds or in any way contesting the
validity of the Series 1989 Bonds or any proceedings of the County
taken with respect to the authorization, sale or issuance of the
Series 1989 Bonds or the pledge or application of any moneys
provided for the payment of the Series 1989 Bonds.
RATINGS
It is expected that Moody's Investors Service and Standard &
Poor's Corporation will assign a rating of "Aaa" and "AAA,"
respectively, to the Series 1989 Bonds on the understanding that the
standard insurance policy, insuring the timely payment of the
principal of and interest on the Series 1989 Bonds, will be issued
by Financial Guaranty upon delivery of the Series 1989 Bonds. No
application has been made to any other agency for a rating on the
Series 1989 Bonds. A rating reflects only the views of the rating
agency at the time such rating is given, and neither the.County nor
the Underwriter make any representation as to the appropriateness of
any rating. An explanation of the significance of the rating may be
obtained from the rating agency providing such rating. There is no
assurance that the ratings on the Series 1989 Bonds will continue
34
for any given period of time or that the ratings will not be
suspended, lowered or withdrawn entirely if, in the judgment of the
respective rating agency, circumstances so warrant. Any suspension,
downward revision or withdrawal of either such rating may have an
adverse effect on the market price of the Series 1989 Bonds. The
County and the Underwriter have undertaken no responsibility either
to bring to the attention of the Registered Owners of the Series
1989 Bonds any proposed suspension, change in or withdrawal of
either such rating or to oppose any such suspension, revision or
withdrawal.
UNDERWRITING

Financial Associates, Inc. (the "Underwriter"), subject to certain
terms and conditions set forth in a bond purchase agreement between
the County and the Underwriter, including the approval of certain
legal matters by Bond Counsel and the existence of no material
change in the affairs of the County from that set forth in this
Official Statement.
The aggregate purchase price payable by the Underwriter is
$6,367,357.50 plus accrued interest on the Series 1989 Bonds from
April 15, 1989 to the date of delivery of the Series 1989 Bonds.
The Series 1989 Bonds are offered for sale to the public at the
price set forth on the cover page of this Official Statement. The
Series 1989 Bonds may be offered and sold to certain dealers at
prices lower than such offering prices, and such public offering
prices may be changed, from time to time, by the Underwriter.
LEGALITY
The issuance of the Series 1989 Bonds is subject to the approval
of Rhoads & Sinon, Boca Raton, Florida, Bond Counsel to the County,
whose unqualified approving opinion, in substantially the form
attached hereto as Appendix B will be available at the time of

passed upon for the County by Charles P. Vitunac, Esq., County
Attorney, and for the Underwriter by Gunster, Yoakley, Criser &

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 and the combining financial statements - enterprise funds of the County
as of and for the year ended September 30, 1988, 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 stan-
dards. 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 presenta-
tion. 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, 1988, and the results of its operations and
the changes in financial position of its proprietary fund types for the year
then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also,

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Year Ended September 30, 1988
I. Su=ary 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, except the Supervisor of Elections, main-
tain separate accounting records and budgets.
The accompanying financial statements present the combined financial position and
combined results of operations of the various fund types and account groups and the
changes in financial position of the proprietary fund types for the funds controlled
by the Board and its 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.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
Year Ended September 30, 1988
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 $71,977 and the related actual operating
costs totaled $71,296 for the fiscal year. The IRCHA cannot overspend appropri-
ations in total.
Indian River County Law Library (IRCLL) - The IRCLL was included in the report
because a member of the Board serves on the IRCLL Board, the facilities for the
IRCLL are provided by the Board, and funds are provided to the IRCLL under a
special act passed by the Florida State Legislature at the request of the
Board. The IRCLL is reported as a special revenue fund.
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, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
Year Ended September 30, 1988
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:
Indian River County Health Department (IRCHD) - The Board does provide some
funds for the operations of the IRCHD, sets part of the fee schedule, and must
provide the facilities for the IRCHD. However, the Florida Department of Health
and Rehabilitation appoints the management of the IRCHD, maintains the financial
records, and includes the IRCHD in its own report. The funds and facilities
provided by the Board are mandated by the Florida State Statutes.
B. Fund Accounting - The accounts of the County are organized on the basis of funds
and account groups, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity.
The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self -
balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues
and expenditures, or expenses, as appropriate. Government resources are allo-
cated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which
they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are con-
trolled. The purpose of the County's various funds and account groups is as
follows:
Governmental Funds
General Fund - The General Fund is the general operating fund of the
County. It is used to account for all financial resources, except those
required to be accounted for in another fund.
Special Revenue Funds - Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the
proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than major capital projects)
that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes.
Debt Service Funds - Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accu-
mulation of resources for, and the payment of, general long-term debt
principal, interest and related costs.
Capital 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
Year Ended September 30, 1988
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:
Proprietary Funds - Continued
Internal Service Fund - The Fleet Management Internal Service Fund is used
to account for the financing of goods and services provided by the Fleet
Management Department to other departments or agencies of the County, on a
cost -reimbursement basis.
Fiduciary Funds
Trust and Agency Funds - Trust and Agency Funds are used to account for
assets held by the County in a trustee capacity or as an agent for indi-
viduals, private organizations, other governments, and/or other funds.
These include Agency Funds and an Expendable Trust Fund.
Account Groups
General Fixed Assets - To account for all fixed assets of the County,
except fixed assets of proprietary funds.
General Lona -Term Debt - To account for all the outstanding principal
balances of general and special obligation bonds, notes, capital leases
and compensated absences of the County, except long-term obligations of
proprietary funds.
C. Measurement Focus
Governmental Fund Types - General, Special Revenue, Debt Service and Capital
Projects Funds are accounted for on a "spending" or "financial flow" measurement
focus. This means that only current assets and current liabilities are
generally included on the balance sheets. Accordingly, the reported unreserved
fund balance (net current assets) is considered a measure of available, spend-
able or appropriable resources. Governmental Fund Type operating statements
present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expendi-
tures and other financing uses) in net current assets.
Proprietary Fund Types - The Enterprise and Internal Service Funds are accounted
for on an "income determination" measurement focus. Accordingly, all assets and
liabilities are included on the balance sheet, and the reported fund equity
(total reported assets less total reported liabilities) provides an indication
of the economic net worth of the fund. Operating statements for the Proprietary
Fund Types report increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total eco-
nomic net worth.
Fiduciary Fund Types - The Expendable Trust Fund is accounted for in the same
manner as Governmental Funds. The Agency Funds are custodial in nature (assets
equal liabilities) and do not involve measurement of results of operations.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTy, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
Year Ended September 30, 1988
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Continued:
C. Measurement Focus -.,Continued
Account Groups - The General Fixed Assets Account Group and the General Long -
Term Debt Account Group are concerned only with the measurement of financial
position. They are not involved with the measurement of results of opera-
tions. Fixed assets, which are not used in Proprietary Fund operations, are
accounted for in the General Fixed Assets Account Group. Depreciation is not
charged on the general fixed assets. Long-term debts, which are not intended to
be financed through the Proprietary Funds, are accounted for in the General
Long -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. Exceptions to this general rule include principal and
interest on general long-term debt, which is recognized when due and prepaid
insurance and similar items which are recorded as expenditures when purchased.
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 Funds and the Agency Funds are accounted
for on the modified accrual basis.
E. Equity in Pooled Cash and Investments - The County, for accounting and invest-
ment purposes, maintains a pooled cash and investment account for all Board
funds. This gives the County the ability to invest large amounts of idle cash
for short periods of time and to maximize earning potential. The "equity in
pooled cash and investments" represents the amount owned by each fund of the
Board. Cash and investments of Constitutional Officers are generally maintained
in separate accounts, but have been combined with the Board's equity in pooled
cash and investments for financial statement purposes.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATENENTS - CONTINUED
Year Ended September 30, 1988
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:
F. Investments - Investments consist of repurchase agreements, U.S. Treasury
Securities, U.S. Government Agency Securities, Certificates of Deposit and
savings accounts that are recorded at cost, which approximates market value.
G. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - The County provides an allowance for water and
sewer accounts receivable that may become uncollectible. At September 30, 1988,
this allowance was $4,000. The Housing Authority provides an allowance for
rents receivable which may become uncollectible which amounted to $1,757 at
September 30, 1988. No other allowances for uncollectible accounts are main-
tained since other fund accounts receivable are considered collectible as
reported at September 30, 1988.
H. Inventories - All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market on the
basis of the "first -in, first out" method of accounting. The effect of this
method is to assign a balance sheet cost which reflects current replacement
values.
Supply inventories in the General Fund are accounted for using the consumption
method. This method requires that items be charged to inventory as purchased
and to expenditures when consumed.
Land inventory in the Housing Authority Enterprise Fund consists of developed
land held for resale to low income citizens. All costs incurred to develop land
are included in inventory and are removed from inventory when the land is sold
based on the relative value of the lots within inventory. Inventories in other
proprietary funds consist of materials and supplies held for consumption.
Inventory of the Clerk of the Circuit Court, included in the combined Agency
Funds, represents documentary stamps on consignment from the State of Florida.
Stamps are carried at cost, which is their face value.
Inventory in the Expendable Trust Fund (Inmate Welfare Trust) consists of
supplies held for resale to inmates accounted for on the consumption method.
This method requires that items be charged to inventory as purchased and to
expenditures when consumed (sold).
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.

I. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:
I. Property, Plant and Eguipment - Continued
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 Solid Waste Disposal District and Water and Sewer System Enterprise Funds
incurred interest expense during the construction period totaling $645,493
Related interest earnings on construction fund investments totaled $459,962 for
net capitalized interest of $185,531.
K. Unamortized Bond Costs - Bond issue costs and legal fees associated with the
issuance of revenue bonds are amortized over the life of the bonds using the
straight-line method of accounting.
L. Unamortized Bond Discount - Bond discount associated with the issuance of
Proprietary Fund revenue bonds are amortized according to the interest method,
which results in a constant rate of interest being applied to the amount out-
standing at any given time. For financial reporting, unamortized bond discount
is netted against applicable long-term debt.
M. Intangible Assets - Land use rights purchased by the Water and Sewer System Fund
from the Golf Course Fund for irrigating the golf course with treated effluent
are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
life of 20 years.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:
N. Deferred Revenues - Deferred revenues reported in applicable Governmental Fund
Types represent unearned revenues or revenues which are measurable but not
available and, in accordance with the modified accrual basis of accounting, are
reported as deferred revenue. The deferred revenue will be recognized as
revenue in the fiscal year they are earned or bacon* available.
0. Accrued Compensated Absences - The County records compensated absences in the
Governmental Fund Types as an expenditure for the amount accrued during the year
that would normally be liquidated with expendable available financial
resources. The remainder of the liability is reported in the General Long -Term
Debt Account Group. Proprietary Fund Types accrue compensated absences in the
period they are earned.
P. Contributions - The contributions accounted for in the Proprietary Fund Types
represent contributions from other funds, State and Federal Aid programs, and
impact fees charged to new customers for their anticipated burden on the
existing system. Depreciation expense on contributed fixed assets is reflected
in the statement of revenues, expenses and changes in retained earnings.
Depreciation on contributed fixed assets is transferrred to the related
contribution accounts (reducing contributions) instead of retained earnings.
Q. 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.

0. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting - Continued
(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 and final budget. Based on the public input received, the Board
shall require such changes to be made as it shall deem necessary, provided
the budget remains in balance and subject to the budget preparation and
adoption procedures as defined in Section 129.03 of the Florida Statutes.
(5) Prior to October 1, the budget is legally enacted through passage of an
ordinance setting forth total revenues and total expenditures by fund.
(6) It is unlawful to expend in any fiscal year more than the total amount
budgeted in each fund's budget pursuant to Section 129.07 of the Florida
Statutes.
(7) Budgeted amounts as shown in the financial statements are as originally
adopted, with the exception of the General Fund, which was increased
$538,455 by resolutions adopted by the Board.
(8) Formal budgetary integration is used as a measurement control device for
all governmental funds of the County. The level on which expenditures may
not legally exceed appropriations is the fund level.
(9) Budgets for the governmental fund types are adopted on a basis consistent
with generally accepted accounting principles.
(10) Appropriations for the County lapse at the close of the fiscal year.
R. Total Columns on Combined Statements - Overview - Total columns on the combined
statements are captioned "Memorandum Only" to indicate that they are presented
only to facilitate financial analysis. Data in these columns do not present
financial position, results of operations, or changes in financial position in

$1,050,000 Solid Waste Disposal System Revenue Bonds, Series 1977 by depositing
$971,991 from excess funds of the Solid WAste Disposal System with an escrowed

nition of an accounting gain of $77,069. However, the aggregate debt service
payments for the next 6 years increased by $17,885 which resulted in an economic
loss (difference between the present values of the debt service payments on the

(2) 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. During the current fiscal year, the County
refinanced the outstanding bonds in order to obtain a lower interest
rate. The refinancing resulted in economic gains of $24,615 and $316,638
for the Route 60 Waterline bonds and Route 60 Sewerline bonds, respec-
tively.
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.
At September 30, 1988, special assessment bonds consisted of the

7. Retirement:
A. Florida Retirement System
The County's employees, except certain firemen, participate in the Florida
Retirement System (FRS), a multiple employer cost sharing defined benefit
retirement system, administered by the Florida Department of Administration.
The FRS has five classes of membership with descriptions and contribution rates
in effect during the period ended September 30, 1988 as follows (contribution
rates are in agreement with the actuarially determined rates):
Regular Class - Members not qualifying for other classes
(13.14% rate).
Senior Management Service Class - Members of senior management
who do not elect the optional annuity retirement program
(13.88% rate).
Special Risk Class - Members employed as law enforcement
officers, firefighters, or correctional officers and meet the
criteria set to qualify for this class (15.11% rate).

and meet the criteria (15.441 rate).
Elected State Officer's Class - Certain elected State and
County officials (varies from 11.501 to 20.941 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; 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, 1988 were $2,279,360 on covered payroll of
$16,508,439, for a 13.811 contribution rate. Total payroll for the County was
$16,913,425.
The most recent actuarial report was prepared as of July 1, 1987 which recom-
mends 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
indicated two major changes in procedures and assumptions. The investment
return was changed to 81 from 91 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 biannually. The conclusions of the review are included in
the annual report of the FRS.

Total pension benefit obligation 20,819
Net assets available for benefits 13,977

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.

a. 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 PERS. Employer contributions to the
PEAS 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 Eifty-two and
twenty-five years of contributing service are entitled to an annual retirement
benefit, payable monthly for life, in an amount equal to 2.50 percent of their
base compensation over the highest five years of employment, multipled by
credited service. The PERS also provides death and disability benefits. These
benefits and other requirements are established by State Statute and City of
Vero Beach ordinance. The firefighters are required to contribute 7 percent of
their compensation. The PERS also receives contributions from the State for
insurance premium refunds. The County is required to contribute the remaining
amount necessary to pay the annual normal cost plus an amount sufficient to fund
any unfunded accrued liability over 40 years.
Funding Status and Progress - The amount shown as the "pension benefit obliga-
tion" is a standardized disclosure measure of the present value of pension bene-
fits, adjusted for the effects of projected salary increases and step -rate bene-
fits, estimated to be payable in the future as a result of employee service to
date. The measure is intended to help users assess the funding status of the
PEAS 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 January 1, 1988. 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 1/2Y, and (b) projected salary increases of 79 a
year compounded annually attributable to inflation.

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.

8. 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.

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

14. Change in Accounting Estimate:
During the current fiscal year, the County issued the Solid Waste Disposal System
Revenue Bonds, which are in part to fund the costs of closure of Segment I of the
Solid Waste Disposal District Landfill. The additional funding is necessary due to
certain recent regulatory requirements which have escalated the costs of closure.
Based on an engineering report made available in the current year, the County
estimates the total costs of closure to be $1,658,000 of which $1,519,850 has been
considered current and has been accrued in the current year in the Solid Waste
Disposal District Enterprise Fund.
15. Subsequent Events:
Water and Sewer System - On December 1, 1988, the County issued $3,900,000 in 6 7,88
Water Revenue Bond, Series 1988, Anticipation Notes. The notes were issued in
anticipation of the receipt by the County of the proceeds from the future sale of
its $4,000,000 Water Revenue Bonds, Series 1988. The County currently expects that
the Series 1988 Bonds will be sold at public or private sale pursuant to the laws of

BOCA RATON, FLORIDA 33432
Re: Indian River County, Florida
$6,510,000 Aggregate Principal Amount of
Water and Sewer Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1989 May 4, 1989
Dated as of April 15, 1989
OPINION
We have acted as Bond Counsel In connection with the authorization, Issuance and sale of the Water and Sewer Revenue Refunding
Bonds, Series 1989, dated as of April 15, 1989, In the aggregate princippal amount of $6,510,000 (the 'Bonds'), of Indian River Countyy
Florida (the 'County'). The Bonds are Issued pursuant to the Constllutlon and laws of the State of Florida, particularly Chapters 126
and 159, Florida Statutes (1988), and Resolution No. 89-19, duly adopted by the Board of County Commissioners of the County (the
'Board') on February 14, 1989, as amended and supplemented (the 'Resolution'), and other applicable provisions or law. Under the
Resolution, Florida National Be* St. Petersburg, Florida (the 'Paying Agent% has been appointed as paying agent and registrar for
the Bonds.
The Resolution contains covenants of the County to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code or 1986, as amended (the
'Code'), and applicable regulations promulgated thereunder, Inter alto, to preserve the Federal Income tax exemption of the Interest on
the Bonds.
The County, pursuant to power and authority vested in It by law, has heretofore acquired and/or constructed water and sewer
systems located In the Countyy which, together with any and all Improvements, extensions and additions thereto hereafter constructed
or acquired and any phyalcally Independent water or sewer system hereafter made a part of the System by resolution of the Board,
together with any art all Improvements, extensions and additions thereto thereafter constructed or acquired, are herein referred to as
the 'System'.
The Resolution provides, Inter ally that the proceeds of the Bonds together with other available funds of the County, are to be used
for the purpose o! providing funds for and toward: (1) retirement or the Original Bonds, as that phrase is defined In the Resolution,
heretofore Issued by the County to finance a portion of the costs of acquisition and/or construction of the System, (18 establishment of
a debt service reserve account !or the Bonds, and (118 payment of a0 costs and expenses of Issuance or the Bonds and retirement of
such Original Bonds, all as more fully provided In the Resolution.
The principal of and Interest on the Bonds are payable solely from and secured by a lien on and pledge of the Pledged Funds, as
defined In the Resolution, which Include the Net Revenues, as that phrase Is defined In the Resolution, of the System. Reference is made
to the Resolution for the definition of the term 'Revenues', for terms and conditions upon which certain receipts and revenues pledged
under the Resolution may be released from such pledge, and for terms and conditions upon which additional bonds having a senior or
parity lien upon and right to payment from such Pledged Funds may be Issued from time to time.
The Bonds shall not constitute a general obligation or Indebtedness of the County, and the holders thereof shall never have the right
to require or compel the exercise of the power of the County to levy ad valorem taxes for the payment of the principal of and Interest on
the Bonds.
As Bond Counsel, we have examined, among other things: certined copies of certain proceedings of the Board with respect to the
Bonds and other proofs submitted to us which ere relevant to the Issuance and s9le of the Bonds; a certlned copy of the Resolution:
certain documents required by the Resolution to be furnished as conclItIons precedent to Issuance and delivery of the Bonds: an affidavit
of no Iltigatlon; anon -arbitrage certificate of the County: an Investment certificate of the County; and usual and required closing
affidavits, certlAcetes end documents. We also have examined a specimen of the Bonds executed In the manner required by the
Resolution, and assume that, es required by the Resolution, all of the Bonds have been slmllariy executed, will be Issued In registered
form and will be euthenlieated by the Paying Agent, acting as bond registrar.
As to questions o! fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon the certined proceedings and other certifications of public
officials furnished to us without undertaking to verify such facts by Independent Investigation.
Based on our examinatlon and assuming investment and sppllcatlon of the proceeds of the Bonds as set forth In the aforementioned
non -arbitrage certificate and Investment certldcate, assuming that the Bonds will remain In registered form as required by the
Resolution, and assuming continuing cc pile by the County with the aforementioned covenants pertaining to the Code, we are of the
opinion that:
I. The County Is a political subdivision of the State of Florida and has the power to issue the Bonds and to awn, operate and maintain
the System.
2. The Resolution has been duly adopted by the County and Is a valid and enforceable Instrument.
3. The Bonds are valid and legally binding special obligations of the County and arc payable from and secured by a lien upon and
pledge of the Pledged Funds, as that term is donned In the Resolution.
4. Interest on the Bonds Is exempt hum taxation under the laws of the Stale 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.
5. The Bonds are not presently 'arbitrage bonds' as described In Section 103(b)(2) and Section 148 of the Code and applicable
regulations promulgated thereunder.
6. Interest on the Bonds Is exempt, under present statutes, regulations and decisions, from present Federal Income taxes: provided,
however, that such exemption does not extend to corporations to the extant
he they are required to Include such Interest in the
calculation and payment of alternative minimum vexes Imposed under the Code or the 'Environmental Tex' under Section 59A of the
Code, or lu certeI foreign corporations doing business In the United States of America to the extent that they are subject to a branch
profits tax Imposed under Seetlon 684 of the Code. Further, Intens: on the Bonds Is not an Item of tax preference for purposes of
calculating Federal alternative minimum taxes Imposed on Individual. and corporatlons.
It is to IX underalaod that the rights critic holders of the Bonds and the enroreeabllity of the Bonds and of the Resolution may be
sub)ect to banki'll y, Insolvency, reorganization, moratoduin and other similar laws a8ecting creditors' rights generally heretofore or
hereafter enacted and that lhelr enforcement may be subject to :he exercise of ludlcl.l discretion In accordance with general principles
of equity.

adjusted so as to fairly represent the operation of the
System, provided that the amount and a detailed reason for
such adjustment is set forth in such certificate; and
(2) A certificate of the Consulting Engineers stating
that either: (i) the Uniform Charges less Operating
Expenses, as each are estimated by the Consulting
Engineers, for the first twelve (12) months following
release of such receipt and revenues shall equal at
least times the largest amount of principal and
interest which will become due in any succeeding Fiscal
Year on the Bonds or (ii) when Revenues include receipts
and revenues in addition to the Uniform Charges, the Net
Revenues, as estimated by the Consulting Engineers, for the
first twelve (12) months following release of such receipt
and revenues shall equal at least times the largest
amount of principal and interest which will become due in
any succeeding Fiscal Year on the Bonds; and
(3) A certificate of the chief financial officer of
the County stating that the County has established and will
maintain a separate accounting of all revenues and expenses
in connection with any such independent system or with
respect to such Impact Fees, Surcharges, Special
Assessments, Franchise Fees, Fees in Lieu of Franchise Fees
or other receipts and revenues to be released, apart from
the Pledged Funds.
For purposes of the foregoing, payments during the Fiscal Year
for: (i) principal and interest on senior lien bonds (the "Senior
Lien Bonds") to be issued in the future to FmHA pursuant to the
Senior Lien Bond Resolution ("Senior Lien Bonds Debt Service"),
(ii) any renewal and replacement fund created in connection with the
Senior Lien Bonds Resolution (the "Required Renewal Fund Payments")
and (iii) any Reserve Account created in connection with the Senior
Lien Bonds (the "Senior Lien Reserve Account Payments"), shall be
treated as Operating Expenses. See "FUTURE FINANCING PLANS - Prior
Pledge to and Lien for Series 1986 Bonds."
Neither the County, the State of Florida nor any political
subdivision thereof has pledged its faith or credit or taxing power
to the payment of the Series 1989 Bonds. No holder of the Series
1989 Bonds shall ever have the right to compel the exercise of any
ad valorem taxing power of the County or taxation in any form of any
real property therein to pay the Series 1989 Bonds or the interest
due thereon nor be entitled to payment of the Series 1989 Bonds from
any funds of the County except as described herein.
Insurance
The scheduled payment of principal and interest on the Series
1989 Bonds will be insured by F G's.c The County
has made no investigation and makes no representation with respect
to and the policy, and reference should
be made to the information under the caption "MUNICIPAL BOND
INSURANCE" herein and Appendix C attached hereto for a description
of and its specimen insurance policy. The
material under said caption and in Appendix C has been furnished
by F G T: c.,
Rate Covenant
The County covenants in the Resolution to establish and maintain
such Uniform Charges and, as applicable, such Surcharges, Impact
Fees, Special Assessments, Franchise Fees, Fees in lieu of Franchise
Fees and such other receipts and revenues in connection with the
System, so as to always provide either of the following:
(1) Uniform Charges less Operating Expenses sufficient to
pay (a) one hundred percent (100%) of all required deposits into
the Reserve Account, and (b) one hundred percent (100%) of the
amount of principal and interest becoming due in such Fiscal
Year on the Bonds outstanding, or
(2) When the Revenues include receipts and revenues in
addition to Uniform Charges, Net Revenues in each Fiscal Year
sufficient to pay (a) one hundred percent (100%) of all required
deposits into the Reserve Account, and (b) one hundred twenty
percent (120%) of the amount of principal and interest becoming
due in such Fiscal Year on the Bonds outstanding.
For purposes of the foregoing rate covenant, Senior Lien Bonds
Debt Service, Required Renewal Fund Payments and Senior Lien Bonds
Reserve Account Payments shall be treated as Operating Expenses.
See "FUTURE FINANCING PLANS - Prior Pledge to and Lien for Series
1986 Bonds."
Flow of Funds for Series 1989 Bonds
Under the Resolution, the County has covenanted that all
Revenues shall upon receipt thereof be deposited in the "Water and
Sewer Revenue Fund" (the "Revenue Fund"). The Revenues are subject
to the prior pledge and lien granted with respect to the Senior Lien
Bonds, when issued, under the Senior Lien Bond Resolution.
Subject to the prior pledge and lien granted with respect to the
Senior Lien Bonds and the flow of funds with respect thereto (See
"SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT - Flow of Funds under Senior Lien
Bond Resolution"), all Revenues on deposit in the Revenue Fund for
the Series 1989 Bonds shall be disposed of by the County subject to
the following order of priority:
(1) First, the County shall transfer in each month to the
Operation and Maintenance•Fund the amount required to be
deposited therein to pay.the Operating Expenses due or to become
due for such month, provided, however, that credit shall be
given for funding of such month's Operating Expenses under the
Senior Lien Bond Resolution to fund an Operation and Maintenance
Fund.
(2) Second, the County shall deposit in each month to a
fund to be known as the "Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds Sinking
Fund" (the "Sinking Fund"), one-sixth (1/6th) of such sum as
will be sufficient to pay interest on the Bonds as the same
shall become due on the next interest payment date, together
with the amount of any deficiency in prior deposits for interest
on Bonds, and one -twelfth (1/12th) of the principal of Bonds
maturing or subject to mandatory call for redemption on the next
principal payment date with respect to the Bonds. Such deposits
shall take into account the sums, if any, in the Bond
Amortization Account (hereinafter defined) attributable to such
payments and the sums, if any, deposited in the Sinking Fund out
of proceeds from the sale of Bonds to pay interest thereon. In
addition, there shall be deposited in the Sinking Fund amounts
sufficient to pay the fees and charges of the Paying Agent.
(3) Third, the County shall deposit into an account in the
Sinking Fund to be known as the "Bond Amortization Account,"
such sums as are required by resolution of the County to be
deposited therein at such times as are required thereby for each
series of Term Bonds for purposes of the mandatory redemption
thereof.
(4) Fourth, the County shall deposit into an account in
the Sinking Fund to be known as the "Reserve Account," a sum at
least equal to and sufficient to pay the maximum amount of
principal and interest on all outstanding Series 1989 Bonds
becoming due in any ensuing Fiscal Year. A sum to be specified
by subsequent resolution of the County will be deposited in the
Reserve Account out of the proceeds of the sale of Series 1989
Bonds. To the extent the amount deposited in the Reserve
Account out of the proceeds of the sale of the Series 1989 Bonds
is less than the maximum amount of principal and interest on all
outstanding Series 1989 Bonds becoming due in any ensuing Fiscal
Year, the County will make such additional required payments or
substitutions therefor as described herein.
Provided, however, in no Fiscal Year shall Net Revenues in
excess of twenty percent (20%) of the maximum amount of
principal and interest on all outstanding Bonds becoming due in
any ensuing Fiscal Year be required to be deposited in the
Reserve Account. No further deposits shall be required to be
made into the Reserve Account as long as there shall remain on
deposit therein (including any Reserve Account insurance policy
or letter of credit as described below) a sum equal to the
maximum amount of principal and interest on all outstanding
Bonds becoming due in any ensuing Fiscal Year. The value of the
Reserve Account, including investments on deposit in the Reserve
Account, shall be determined annually on the first day of the
Fiscal Year by an independent firm of certified public
accountants, who may be the accountants for the County, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of, in whole or in part,
the required deposits into the Reserve Account, the County may
cause to be deposited into the Reserve Account either an
insurance policy issued by a reputable and recognized municipal
bond insurer or a letter of credit from a bank or trust company
whose municipal bond insurance policy or letter of credit will
result in the highest rating of municipal obligations of either
Moody's Investors Service or Standard & Poor's Corporation. Any
such insurance policy or letter of credit shall be payable or
available to be drawn upon, as the case may be (upon the giving
of notice as required thereunder), on any interest payment date
on which a deficiency exists which cannot be cured by money in
any other fund or account held pursuant hereto and available for
such purpose. If a disbursement is made under any such
insurance policy or letter of credit, the County may reinstate
the maximum limits of such insurance policy or letter of credit
immediately following such disbursement, otherwise the amount of
credit toward the Reserve Account requirement for such insurance
policy or letter of credit shall be appropriately reduced.
Furthermore, the County may at any time and from time to time
cause to be deposited in the Reserve Account such an insurance
policy or letter of credit and cause an appropriate amount to be
withdrawn from the Reserve Account and released to the County.
Moneys in the Reserve Account shall be used only for the purpose
of the payment of maturing principal of or interest on Bonds
when the other moneys in the Sinking Fund are insufficient
therefor, and for no other purpose. However, upon the valuation
of the Reserve Account in each year, if the moneys applied and
allocated to the Reserve Account (except the investment income
thereon) exceed the amount required, such excess may be
withdrawn and released to the County.
(5) Fifth, moneys in the Revenue Fund shall be applied to
the payment of current debt service and reserve requirements of
any obligations of the County issued to finance the cost of
additions, acquisition, extensions and improvements to the
System which are junior and subordinate to the lien of the
Series 1989 Bonds on the Pledged Funds.
(6) Sixth, the balance of any moneys remaining in the
Revenue Fund after the above required payments have been made
may be (a) deposited into a special fund to be known as the
"Sewer and Water Renewal and Replacement Fund," which shall be
used only for the purpose of paying the costs of extensions,
enlargements, or additions to or the replacement of capital
assets of the System, and for emergency repairs thereto or
(b) used by the County for any lawful purpose.
No further deposits to the Sinking Fund, the Bond Amortization
Account or the Reserve Account shall be required when the aggregate
sums deposited therein are and remain at least equal to the sum of
all of the principal and interest then due and thereafter becoming
due in all ensuing years for the Series 1989 Bonds then
outstanding.
Flow of Funds under Senior Lien Bond Resolution
While any Senior Lien Bonds are outstanding, the gross revenues
and receipts of the System pledged for payment of the Senior Lien
Bonds, which include the Revenues pledged in connection with the
Series 1989 Bonds, will be utilized by the County in the following
order of priority before the Revenues are available under the
Resolution for payment of the Series 1989 Bonds or any Additional
Parity Bonds:
10
(1) First, the County shall transfer each month to the
sinking fund for the Senior Lien Bonds created under the Senior
Lien Bond Resolution, if any Senior Lien Bonds are then
outstanding, the amount required by the Senior Lien Bond
Resolution to be deposited therein monthly to provide for timely
payment of the principal and interest on the Senior Lien Bonds
currently becoming due and payable.
(2) Second, while any Senior Lien Bonds are outstanding,
the County shall transfer and deposit to the credit of the
reserve account in the Sinking Fund for the Senior Lien Bonds
under the Senior Lien Bond Resolution, the sum of 1/12 of 10% of
the "Maximum Bond Service Requirement," as that phrase is
defined in the Senior Lien Bond Resolution, on the Senior Lien
Bonds until such time as the funds and investments therein shall
equal such Maximum Bond Service Requirement, and monthly
thereafter such amount as may be necessary to maintain in such
reserve account the Maximum Bond Service Requirement, but not
exceeding 1/12 of the Maximum Bond Service Requirement monthly.
In connection with Senior Lien Bond Resolution and the Senior
Lien Bonds, the County may be required to fully fund the Maximum
Bond Service Requirement prior to making any payment with
respect to the Series 1989 Bonds. Under the Resolution, the
County has covenanted that in such event it will promptly fully
fund such Maximum Bond Service Requirement of the Senior Lien
Bonds with available revenues and funds other than the Revenues
pledged to secure the Series 1989 Bonds.
(3) Third, the County shall transfer in each month to the
Operation and Maintenance Fund the amount required to be
deposited therein to pay the Operating Expenses due or to become
due for such month.
(4) Fourth, while any Senior Lien Bonds are outstanding,
the County shall transfer and deposit into a special fund to be
known as the "Indian River County Water and Sewer System Renewal
and Replacement Fund," an amount equal to 1/12 of 5% of the
gross revenues of the System (excluding Impact Fees) for the
preceding Fiscal Year. Such fund shall be used only for the
purpose of paying the cost of extensions, enlargements,
improvements or additions to or the replacement of capital
assets of the System, and for emergency repairs thereto. Impact
Fees on deposit in the Renewal and Replacement Fund shall only
be used to pay the cost of extensions, enlargements,
improvements or additions to the System made necessary by the
inclusion of new customers of the System.
(5) Fifth, the balance of any moneys remaining after the
above required payments have been made may be used by the County
for any lawful purpose.

FUTURE FINANCING PLANS
Prior Pledge to and Lien for Series 1986 Bonds
In December 1987 the County issued 6 3/8% Water and Sewer
Revenue Bonds, Anticipation Notes in an aggregate principal amount
of $9,200,000 ("1986 Anticipation Notes") in anticipation of the
receipt by the County of the proceeds from the sale of its
$9,200,000 Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 1986 (the "Series
1986 Bonds"). The County currently anticipates that the Series 1986
Bonds will be sold to FmHA pursuant to the laws of the State of
Florida, Resolution No. 86-35 and the Senior Lien Bond Resolution,
as amended and supplemented (collectively, the "Series 1986 Bond
Resolution"), and certain Letters of Condition between FmHA and the
County ("FmHA Letters of Condition"), on or prior to December 1,
1990. Pursuant to the Series 1986 Bond Resolution and the FmHA
Letters of Condition the County anticipates that it will pledge to,
and grant a lien on, the revenues and receipts of the System for
payment of the Series 1986 Bonds when issued, with such pledge and
lien being senior to the pledge of, and lien on, the Net Revenues of
the System for payment of the Series 1989 Bonds.
FmHA has also issued a commitment to provide a $450,000 loan to
the County for the purchase and improvement of a utility system in
the "Bent Pine" area of the County, subject to fulfillment by the
County of certain conditions (the "Bent Pine Commitment"). Any
bonds sold to FmHA issued by the County in connection with the Bent
Pine Commitment would likely involve a pledge of, and grant of a
lien on, the revenues and receipts of the System, which pledge and
lien would also be senior to the pledge of, and lien on, the Net
Revenues of the System granted to secure payment of the Series 1989
Bonds.
Other than bonds sold to FmHA as described above (the "Senior
Lien Bonds"), the County shall not issue any other bonds or
obligations senior to or having priority to the Net Revenues of the
System pledged for payment of the Series 1989 Bonds.
Issuance of Additional Parity Bonds
Additional Parity Bonds, payable on a parity from the Net
Revenues with the Series 1989 Bonds, may be issued from time to time
to finance any portion of the costs of the construction and/or
acquisition of additions, extensions and improvements to the System,
or of any physically separate water or sewer system declared by
resolution of the Board to be part of the System, or for refunding
purposes, in the manner provided and upon compliance with both of
the following conditions:
(1) There shall have been obtained and filed with the
County a certificate of an independent firm of certified
public accountants of suitable experience and
responsibility: (i) stating that the books and records of
the County relating to the collection and receipt of the
12
Revenues and the Operating Expenses have been audited by
them for the Fiscal Year immediately preceding the date of
sale of the proposed obligations or for any twelve (12)
consecutive month period out of the eighteen (18)
consecutive months immediately preceding the date of sale
of the proposed obligations; (ii) setting forth the
Revenues, the Uniform Charges, the Operating Expenses and
the Net Revenues for the audited period referred to in (i)
above, with respect to which such certificate is made; and
(iii) stating that either: (a) the Uniform Charges less
Operating Expenses, as adjusted as hereinafter provided,
were equal to at least times the largest amount of
principal and interest which will mature and become due in
any Fiscal Year thereafter on all Bonds then outstanding,
excluding the proposed Additional Parity Bonds or (b) when
Revenues include receipts and revenues in addition to the
Uniform Charges, the Net Revenues, as adjusted as
hereinafter provided, were equal to at least times
the largest amount of principal and interest which will
mature and become due in any Fiscal Year thereafter on all
Bonds then outstanding, excluding the proposed Additional
Parity Bonds. For purposes of (iii) above Revenues,
Uniform Charges and Operating Expenses may be adjusted so
as to fairly represent the operation of the System,
provided that the amount and a detailed reason for each
such adjustment is set forth in such certificate; and
(2) There shall have been obtained and filed with the
County a certificate of the Consulting Engineers stating
either: (i) the Uniform Charges less Operating Expenses,
as each are estimated by the Consulting Engineers, for the
first twelve (12) months following completion of the
project for which the Additional Parity Bonds are being
issued shall equal at least times the largest amount
of principal and interest which will become due in any
succeeding Fiscal Year on the Bonds, including the proposed
Additional Parity Bonds or (ii) when Revenues include
receipts and revenues in addition to the Uniform Charges,
that the Net Revenues, as estimated by the Consulting
Engineers, for the first twelve (12) months following
completion of the project for which the Additional Parity
Bonds are being issued shall equal at least times the
largest amount of principal and interest which will become
due in any succeeding Fiscal Year on the Bonds, including
the proposed Additional Parity Bonds.
For purposes of the foregoing, Senior Lien Debt Service,
Required Renewal Fund Payments and Senior Lien Bonds Reserve Account
Payments shall be treated as Operating Expenses. See "FUTURE
FINANCING PLANS - Prior Pledge to and Lien for Series 1986 Bonds."
Additional Parity Bonds may not be issued at any time at which
the County is in default in performing any of the covenants and
obligations under the Resolution, or all payments herein required to
13
have been made into the accounts and funds, as provided under the
Resolution, have not been made to the full extent required.
The foregoing conditions shall not apply with respect to
Additional Parity Bonds the proceeds of which will be used to
complete a project a substantial portion of the cost of which has
been or will be paid out of the proceeds of Bonds issued under the
Resolution.
The County presently has outstanding an aggregate of $3,900,000,
6 7/8% Water Revenue Bonds, Series 1988, Anticipation Notes due
December 1, 1991 (the "1988 Anticipation Notes"). Such Notes were
issued in anticipation of the receipt by the County of the proceeds
from the future sale of its Water Revenue Bonds, Series 1988 which
have been authorized in an amount up to $4,000,000 (the "Series 1988
Bonds"). The County expects that the Series 1988 Bonds will be sold
at public or private sale pursuant to the laws of the State of
Florida and Resolution No. 88-44 duly adopted by the County on
August 2, 1988, as amended and supplemented from time to time, on or
prior to the maturity of the 1988 Anticipation Notes. Upon
issuance, the Series 1988 Bonds will be either (i) payable on a
parity from the Net Revenues with the Series 1989 Bonds or
(ii) payable from and secured by a pledge of and lien upon the
Surcharges from the North Beach Water System operations of the
System, which Surcharges are not included in the Net Revenues
pledged in the Resolution as of the date hereof.

THE SYSTEM
Total
$
The County owns and operates water and sewer systems
(collectively, the "System"), which were established in 1978. The
County provides water and sewer services to a portion of the
County's population, with a majority of the other County residents
15
being serviced by private wells and septic tanks and the City of
Vero Beach, Florida, which operates its own water and sewer systems.
The County presently operates two water plants, the South County
plant ("South County Plant") and the North Beach plant ("North Beach
Plant"). The water plants have a present nominal capacity of 3
million gallons per day ("MGD"). In addition, the County purchases
750,000 gallons of water per day from the City of Vero Beach,
Florida. The County is currently expanding the storage capacity of
the South County Plant to 5 million gallons, which expansion is
expected to be completed by the summer of 1989. Also under
construction is a transmission line connecting different areas of
the County's water system. On November 1, 1988, the County
consummated the purchase of the business and assets of the North
Beach Water Company consisting of the North Beach Plant and a
distribution system in the northern portion of the County ("NBWC
System").
The County's sewer system currently consists of four small
wastewater plants and two regional plants. The County also has the
right to have treated up to 1.39 MGD at the municipally -owned Vero
Beach wastewater plant. The County is expanding each of its
regional plants from a treatment capacity of 1 MGD to a capacity of
2 MGD, with completion of such expansion expected in 2 years.
System Staff
The System presently employs 58 persons. The System is managed
by Terrance G. Pinto, Director of Utilities. It is the opinion of
management that the System enjoys excellent labor relations.
Water and Sewer Customers
The number of County water and sewer customers, expressed as the
number of equivalent residential units ("ERUs"), for the years
1984-1988 is set forth below:

Rate Structure
Rates charged by the County for water service and sewer service
are charged upon reservation of such service. For water service the
County charges a $1.82 billing charge per connection, a $5.34 base
16
facility charge per ERU per month and $1.99 volume charge per 1,000
gallons of water consumption. For sewer service the billing charge
is $1.84 per connection, the base facility charge is $1.53 per ERU
per month and the volume charge is $2.86 per 1,000 gallons of water
consumption. Since February 1, 1987 a 6% surcharge has been added
to the current monthly charge. in addition, customers of the NBWC
System are charged up to an additional $13.00 surcharge per ERU per
month.
Outstanding Debt
As of February 28, 1989, there was an aggregate of $21,978,200
principal amount of indebtedness of the County outstanding in
connection with the System, consisting of (i) $8,878,200 outstanding
principal amount of the Original Bonds, (ii) $9,200,000 outstanding
principal amount of the 1986 Anticipation Notes, and
(iii) $3,900,000 principal amount of 1988 Anticipation Notes.
Selected Financial Data
The following table sets forth selected financial data for the

in this Official Statement, See "DESCRIPTION OF THE BONDS" and
"SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT".
Description
Indian River County (the "County") was established in 1925 by an
Act of the Legislature separating it from St Lucie County. The
County encompasses approximately 497 square miles and is located in
the middle of Florida on the eastern coast, approximately 135 miles
north of Miami, 190 miles south of Jacksonville, and 135 miles east
of St, Petersburg. The County is bounded on the north by Brevard
County, on the south by St, Lucie County, on the west by Osceola and
Okeechobee Counties and on the east by the Atlantic Ocean. The City
of Vero Beach is the seat of County government and the largest city
in the County. Other incorporated cities located within the County
are Fellsmere, Indian River Shores, Orchid and Sebastian. There are
approximately 100 miles of waterfront land in the County, including
about 23 miles of Atlantic beaches.
Government
Indian River County has a five -member Board of County
Commissioners (the "Commission"). Each member represents one of

Operation and Maintenance. The County will maintain the System
and all parts thereof in good condition and will operate the same in
an efficient and economical manner making such expenditures for
equipment and for renewals, repairs and replacements as may be
proper for the economical operation and maintenance thereof.
No Mortgage or Sale of the System. The County will not sell,
mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber the System or any part
thereof, or any Revenues to be derived therefrom, except as provided
in the Resolution (which contemplates, without limitation, the
issuance of Senior Lien Bonds to the FmHA and the issuance of
Additional Parity Bonds), and will not sell, lease or otherwise
dispose of any substantial portion of the System, except as set
forth below.
The County may sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the property
comprising a substantial portion of the System in the event that
(a) such property is determined by resolution of the Board, upon the
recommendation of the County Administrator and the Consulting
Engineers, to be no longer necessary or useful or profitable for the
System; and (b) the sale, lease or other disposition of such
property is determined by resolution of the Board, upon
recommendation of the County Administrator and the Consulting
Engineers, not to impair the ability of the County to comply during
the current or any future Fiscal Year with the rate covenant set
forth above.
The proceeds derived from any sale, lease or other disposition
of a substantial portion of the System shall be used for the
retirement of outstanding Series 1989 Bonds, subject to the prior
application thereof for any then outstanding Senior Lien Bonds. Any
other proceeds derived from the sale, lease or other disposition of
a portion of the System shall be placed in an appropriate fund of
the County relating to the renewal or replacement of the System,
provided, however, all or a portion of any such proceeds may be used
for the retirement of outstanding Series 1989 Bonds if authorized by
resolution of the Board upon the recommendation of the County
Administrator and the Consulting Engineers.
Insurance. For so long as any of the Series 1989 Bonds are
outstanding, and to the extent practicable, the County will carry
adequate fire and windstorm insurance on all buildings, structures
and other appropriate properties of the System which are subject to
28
loss through fire or windstorm, will carry adequate public liability
insurance, and will otherwise carry insurance of all kinds and in
the amounts normally carried in the operation of similar facilities
and properties in Florida. Any such insurance shall be carried for
the benefit of the Registered Owners of the Series 1989 Bonds,
subject to the prior application thereof for any then outstanding
Senior Lien Bonds. All moneys received from losses under any of
such insurance, except public liability, are hereby pledged by the
County as security for the Series 1989 Bonds, until and unless such
proceeds are used to remedy the loss or damage for which such
proceeds are received, in which event the repairing of the property
damaged or the replacement of the property destroyed shall be
commenced within a reasonable time after the receipt of such
proceeds and shall proceed on a reasonable and continuous basis.
No Free Service. The County will not render or cause to be
rendered any free use of any nature of the System, nor will any
preferential rates be established for users of the same class.
Operating Budget. On or before the last day of each Fiscal
Year, the County shall adopt an annual budget for the System for the
ensuing Fiscal Year, which shall include a budget for Operating
Expenses. The Operating Expenses incurred in any Fiscal Year will
not exceed the reasonable and necessary amounts required therefor
and the County will not expend any amount or incur any obligation
for the operation, maintenance and repair of the System in excess of
the amount provided for the purpose in the annual budget for the
then current Fiscal Year except upon resolution of the Board
declaring that such expenses are necessary for the operation and
maintenance of the System.
If the budget discloses that the estimated Revenues and other
revenues, funds and receipts pledged hereunder, if any, will be
insufficient during such Fiscal Year, after payment of the Operating
Expenses, to meet the rate covenant set forth herein, the County
shall forthwith revise the rates, fees and charges imposed with
respect to the System in order to cure such estimated deficiency and
to comply with the rate covenant. There shall be included in the
budget amounts necessary to provide for the orderly replacement of
the depreciable capital assets of the System.
Consulting Engineers. The County will annually retain the
Consulting Engineers for the purpose of providing the County with
competent engineering counsel with respect to the economical and
efficient operation of the entire water and sewer system of the
County and in connection with the making of capital improvements
thereto and renewals and replacements thereof. The County may,
however, employ additional engineers at any time with relation to
specific engineering and operation problems arising in connection
therewith.
29
No Competing Systems. To the full extent permitted by law, the
County will not grant, renew, extend or allow to expand any
franchise or permit for any system similar to the System within the
service area of the System.
TAX EXEMPTION
In the opinion of Rhoads & Sinon, Boca Raton, Florida, Bond
Counsel, assuming continuing compliance by the County with certain
covenants to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), in order to preserve the federal
income tax exemption of the interest on the Series 1989 Bonds,
interest on the Series 1989 Bonds is exempt from present federal
income taxes under existing statutes, regulations and decisions;
provided, however, that such exemption does not extend to
corporations to the extent that they are required to include such
interest in the calculation and payment of alternative minimum taxes
imposed under the Code, or the "Environmental Tax" under Section 59A
of the Code, or to certain foreign corporations doing business in
the United States of America to the extent that they are subject to
the branch profits tax imposed under Section 884 of the Code.
Further, interest on the Series 1989 Bonds is not an item of tax
preference for purposes of calculating the federal alternative
minimum taxes imposed on individuals and corporations.
Interest on the Series 1989 Bonds is exempt from taxation under
the laws of the State of Florida, except as to estate taxes and
taxes imposed by Chapter 220, Florida Statutes, on interest, income
or profits on debt obligations owned by corporations, banks, and
savings associations.
The County will issue its certificate to the effect that on the
basis of the facts, estimates and circumstances in existence on the
date of delivery of the Series 1989 Bonds, it is not expected that
proceeds of the Series 1989 Bonds will be used in a manner that
would cause the Series 1989 Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" under
Section 103(b)(2) of the Code, as contemplated by the United States
Treasury regulations relating to "arbitrage bonds". Such
certificate will be accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel, based
upon the facts, estimates and circumstances set forth in said
certificate, that the Series 1989 Bonds are not currently "arbitrage
bonds," under existing statutes, regulations and decisions.
Corporate Alternative Minimum Taxes; Environmental Tax; Branch
Profits Tax
Interest on the Series 1989 Bonds may be includible in a
corporation's "adjusted net book income" or "adjusted current
earnings" upon which alternative minimum taxable income is
calculated for tax years beginning in 1987 and thereafter, and such
interest may also be included in corporate alternative minimum
taxable income that is subject to the environmental tax imposed
under Section 59A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
30
(the "Code"). In addition, such interest may be includible in the
amount upon which certain foreign corporations are required to pay
the branch profits tax imposed under Section 884 of the Code.
Prospective corporate purchasers of the Series 1989 Bonds should
consult their professional tax advisors concerning the potential
impact of receipt of interest income on such Bonds upon their
Federal tax liability.
Financial Institutions' Costs of Carrying Tax -Exempt Bonds
Under the Code, financial institutions are denied 100 percent of
the interest expense deduction that is allocable, by formula, to the
carrying of tax-exempt obligations acquired after August 7, 1986;
the former provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, which
provided for a 20 percent disallowance of the interest expense
deduction, continues to apply with respect to tax-exempt obligations
acquired on or before August 7, 1986, as well as to new issues
specifically designated as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" under
Section 265 of the Code, as discussed below.
A general exception to the 100 percent disallowance rule of
Section 265 of the Code is provided for certain tax-exempt
obligations that are not "private activity bonds" as defined in the
Code (other than "qualified 501(c)(3) bonds") and that are issued by
a governmental issuer that reasonably expects to issue (together
with any of its subordinate entities and authorities) not more than
$10,000,000 in principal amount of tax-exempt obligations in the
same calendar year. The exception applies only if the issuer
specifically designates the issue as "qualified tax-exempt
obligations" under Section 265 of the Code.
Financial institutions considering the purchase of the Series
1989 Bonds should consult with their professional tax advisors to
determine the effect of the interest expense disallowance related to
tax-exempt bonds upon their Federal income tax liability.
The Series 1989 Bonds have not been designated by the issuer as
"qualified tax-exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 265 of
the Code.
Other Federal Income Tax Consequences
Ownership of the Series 1989 Bonds may also result in other
Federal income tax consequences to certain taxpayers, including, but
not limited to, financial institutions, property and casualty
insurance companies, certain subchapter S 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 bonds. No opinion
or representation concerning these matters is being given or made by
the issuer of the Series 1989 Bonds, Bond Counsel or any other party
associated with issuance, offering or sale of the Series 1989
31
Bonds. Prospective purchasers of the Series 1989 Bonds should
consult their own tax advisors concerning these matters.
NON -ARBITRAGE BONDS
The County has covenanted in the Resolution with the purchasers
of the Series 1989 Bonds that it will make no use of the proceeds of
the Series 1989 Bonds which will cause the Series 1989 Bonds to be
or become "arbitrage bonds," and has further covenanted in the
Resolution to comply with the requirements of Section 103 and 148 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations
promulgated thereunder from time to time, during the term of the
Series 1989 Bonds, if and to the extent applicable to maintain
continuously the Federal income tax exemption of interest on the
Series 1989 Bonds. Officials of the County have executed a
certificate concerning the use of the proceeds of the Series 1989
Bonds in conformity with regulations issued under Sections 103 and
148 of the Code.
LITIGATION
In the opinion of the County Attorney, no legal proceedings are
pending or threatened that materially affect the County's ability to
perform its obligations to the holders of the Series 1989 Bonds or
that materially affect the financial condition of the System.
In the opinion of the County Attorney, there is no litigation or
controversy of any nature now pending or, to the County's knowledge,
threatened to restrain or enjoin the issuance, sale, execution or
delivery of the Series 1989 Bonds or in any way contesting the
validity of the Series 1989 Bonds or any proceedings of the County
taken with respect to the authorization, sale or issuance of the
Series 1989 Bonds or the pledge or application of any moneys
provided for the payment of the Series 1989 Bonds.
RATINGS
It is expected that Moody's Investors Service and Standard &
Poor's Corporation will assign a rating of "Aaa" and "AAA,"
respectively, to the Series 1989 Bonds on the understanding that the
standard insurance policy, insuring the timely payment of the
principal of and interest on the Series 1989 Bonds, will be issued
by upon delivery of the Series 1989 Bonds.
No application has been made to any other agency for a rating on the
Series 1989 Bonds. A rating reflects only the views of the rating
agency at the time such rating is given, and neither the County nor
the Underwriter make any representation as to the appropriateness of
any rating. An explanation of the significance of the rating may be
obtained from the rating agency providing such rating. There is no
assurance that the ratings on the Series 1989 Bonds will continue
32
for any given period of time or that the ratings will not be
suspended, lowered or withdrawn entirely if, in the judgment of the
respective rating agency, circumstances so warrant. Any suspension,
downward revision or withdrawal of either such rating may have an
adverse effect on the market price of the Series 1989 Bonds. The
County and the Underwriter have undertaken no responsibility either
to bring to the attention of the Registered Owners of the Series
1989 Bonds any proposed suspension, change in or withdrawal of
either such rating or to oppose any such suspension, revision or
withdrawal.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Year Ended September 30, 1988
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, except the Supervisor of Elections, main-
tain separate accounting records and budgets.
The accompanying financial statements present the combined financial position and
combined results of operations of the various fund types and account groups and the
changes in financial position of the proprietary fund types for the funds controlled
by the Board and its 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
significant policies. Is a summary of the more
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.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA
NOTES To FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
Year Ended September 30, 1988
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 $71,977 and the related actual operating
costs totaled $71,296 for the fiscal year. The IRCHA cannot overspend appropri-
ations in total.
Indian River County Law Library (IRCLL) - The IRCLL was included in the report
because a member of the Board serves on the IRCLL Board, the facilities for the
IRCLL are provided by the Board, and funds are provided to the IRCLL under a
special act passed by the Florida State Legislature at the request of the
Board. The IRCLL is reported as a special revenue fund.
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 Nosguito Control District (IRCNCD) - The IRCNCD has a sepa-
rately elected board, maintains its own financial records, and issues its own
report.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
Year Ended September 30; 1988
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Continued:
Indian River_ County Health Department (IRCHD) - The Board does provide some
funds for the operations of the IRCHD, sets part of the fee schedule, and must
provide the facilities for the IRCHD. However, the Florida Department of Health
and Rehabilitation appoints the management of the IRCHD, maintains the financial
records, and includes the IRCHD in its own report. The funds and facilities
provided by the Board are mandated by the Florida State Statutes.
B. Fund Accounting - The accounts of the County are organized on the basis of funds
and account• groups, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity.
The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self -
balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues
and expenditures, or expenses, as appropriate. Government resources are allo-
cated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which
they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are con-
trolled. The purpose of the County's various funds and account groups is as
follows:
Governmental Funds
General Fund - The General Fund is the general operating fund of the
County. It is used to account for all financial resources, except those
required to be accounted for in another fund.
Special Revenue Funds - Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the
proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than major capital projects)
that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes.
Debt Service Funds - Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accu-
mulation of resources for, and the payment of, general long-term debt
principal, interest and related costs.
Capital 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.

Year Ended September 30, 1988
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:
Proprietary Funds - Continued
Internal Service Fund - The Fleet Management Internal Service Fund is used
to account for the financing of goods and services provided by the Fleet
Management Department to other departments or agencies of the County, on a
cost -reimbursement basis.
Fiduciary Funds
Trust and Aaency Funds - Trust and Agency Funds are used to account for
assets held by the County in a trustee capacity or as an agent for indi-
viduals, private organizations, other governments, and/or other funds.
These include Agency Funds and an Expendable Trust Fund.
Account Groups
General Fixed Assets - To account for all fixed assets of the County,
except fixed assets of proprietary funds.
General Lona -Term Debt - To account for all the outstanding principal
balances of general and special obligation bonds, notes, capital leases
and compensated absences of the County, except long-term obligations of
proprietary funds.
C. Measurement Focus
Governmental Fund Types - General, Special Revenue, Debt Service and Capital
Projects Funds are accounted for on a "spending" or "financial flow" measurement
focus. This means that only current assets and current liabilities are
generally included on the balance sheets. Accordingly, the reported unreserved
fund balance (net current assets) is considered a measure of available, spend-
able or appropriable resources. Governmental Fund Type operating statements
present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expendi-
tures and other financing uses) in net current assets.
Proprietary Fund Types - The Enterprise and Internal Service Funds are accounted
for on an "income determination" measurement focus. Accordingly, all assets and
liabilities are included on the balance sheet, and the reported fund equity
(total reported assets less total reported liabilities) provides an indication
of the economic net worth of the fund. operating statements for the Proprietary
Fund Types report increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total eco-
nomic net worth.
Fiduciary Fund Types - The Expendable Trust Fund is accounted for in the same
manner as Governmental Funds. The Agency Funds are custodial in nature (assets
equal liabilities) and do not involve measurement of results of operations.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued:
F. Investments - Investments consist of repurchase agreements, U.S. Treasury
Securities, U.S. Government Agency Securities, Certificates of Deposit and
savings accounts that are recorded at cost, which approximates market value.
G. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - The County provides an allowance for water and
sewer accounts receivable that may become uncollectible. At September 30, 1988,
this allowance was $4,000. No other allowances for uncollectible accounts are
maintained since other fund accounts receivable are considered collectible as
reported at September 30, 1988.
H. Inventories - All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market on the
basis of the "first -in, first out" method of accounting. The effect of this
method is to assign a balance sheet cost which reflects current replacement
values.
Supply inventories in the General Fund are accounted for using the consumption
method. This. method requires that items be charged to inventory as purchased
and to expenditures when consumed.
Land inventory in the Housing Authority Enterprise Fund consists of developed
land held for resale to low income citizens. All costs incurred to develop land
are included in inventory and are removed from inventory when the land is sold
based on the relative value of the lots within inventory. Inventories in other
proprietary funds consist of materials and supplies held for consumption.
Inventory of the Clerk of the Circuit Court, included in the combined Agency
Funds, represents documentary stamps on consignment from the State of Florida.
Stamps are carried at cost, which is their face value.
Inventory in the Expendable Trust Fund (Inmate Welfare Trust) consists of
supplies held for resale to inmates accounted for on the consumption method.
This method requires that items be charged to inventory as purchased and to
expenditures when consumed (sold).
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.

I. Property. Plant and Equipment - Continued
The Board holds legal title for the general fixed assets used in the
operations of the Board, Property Appraiser, Tax Collector, Super%isor 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 Solid Waste Disposal District and Water and Sewer System Enterprise Funds
incurred interest expense during the construction period totaling $645,493
Related interest earnings on construction fund investments totaled $459,962 for
net capitalized interest of $185,531.
K. Unamortized Bond Costs - Bond issue costs and legal fees associated with the
issuance of revenue bonds are amortized over the life of the bonds using the
straight-line method of accounting.
L. Unamortized Bond Discount - Bond discount associated with the issuance of
Proprietary Fund revenue bonds are amortized according to the interest method,
which results in a constant rate of interest being applied to the amount out-
standing at any given time. For financial reporting, Unamortized bond discount
is netted against applicable long-term debt.
M. Intangible Assets - Land use rights purchased by the Water and Sewer System Fund
from the Golf Course Fund for irrigating the golf course with treated effluent
are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
life of 20 years.

N. Deferred Revenues - Deferred revenues reported in applicable Governmental Fund
Types represent unearned revenues or revenues which are measurable but not
available and, in accordance with the modified accrual basis of accounting, are
reported as deferred revenue. The deferred revenue will be recognized as
revenue in the fiscal year they are earned or become available.
0. Accrued Compensated Absences - The County records compensated absences in the
Governmental Fund Types as an expenditure for the amount accrued during the year
that would normally be liquidated with expendable available financial
resources. The remainder of the liability is reported in the General Long -Term
Debt Account Group. Proprietary Fund Types accrue compensated absences in the
period they are earned.
P. Contributions - The contributions accounted for in the Proprietary Fund Types
represent contributions from other funds, State and Federal Aid programs, and
impact fees charged to new customers for their anticipated burden on the
existing system. Depreciation expense on contributed fixed assets is reflected
in the statement of revenues, expenses and changes in retained earnings.
Depreciation on contributed fixed assets is transferrred to the related
contribution accounts (reducing contributions) instead of retained earnings.
0. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting - The County uses the following procedures in
establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements:
(1) The Constitutional Officers submit, at various times, to the Board and to
certain divisions within the Department of Revenue, State of Florida, a
proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following
October 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the
means of financing them.
(2) The Department of Revenue, State of Florida, has the final authority on
the operating budgets for the Tax Collector and Property Appraiser
included in the General Fund.
(3) On or before July 15 of each year, the Director of the Office of
Management and Budget, as the Board's designated budget officer, submits
to the Board a tentative budget for the ensuing fiscal year. The tenta-
tive budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing
them.

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

(2) 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. During the current fiscal year, the County
refinanced the outstanding bonds in order to obtain a lower interest
rate. The refinancing resulted in economic gains of $24,615 and $316,638
for the Route 60 Waterline bonds and Route 60 Sewerline bonds, respec-
tively.
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.

The County's employees, except certain firemen, participate in the Florida
Retirement System (FRS), a multiple employer cost sharing defined benefit
retirement system, administered by the Florida Department of Administration.
The FRS has five classes of membership with descriptions and contribution rates
in effect during the period ended September 30, 1988 as follows (contribution
rates are in agreement with the actuarially determined rates):
Regular Class - Members not qualifying for other classes
(13.14% rate).
Senior Management Service Class - Members of senior management
who do not elect the optional annuity retirement program
(13.88% rate).
Special Risk Class - Members employed as law enforcement
officers, firefighters, or correctional officers and meet the
criteria set to qualify for this class (15.11% rate).

and meet the criteria (15.44% rate).
Elected State Officer's Class - Certain elected State and
County officials (varies from 11.50% to 20.94% 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; 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, 1988 were $2,279,360 on covered payroll of
$16,508,439, for a 13.811 contribution rate. Total payroll for the County was
$16,913,425.
The most recent actuarial report was prepared as of July 1, 1987 which recom-
mends 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
indicated 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 biannually. The conclusions of the review are included in
the annual report of the FRS.

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 PERS. 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 January 1, 1968. 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 1/21, and (b) projected salary increases of 7% a
year compounded annually attributable to inflation.

Total unfunded pension benefit obligations are as follows:
There were no current year changes in actuarial assumptions or benefit pro-

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 Fireman'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.

S. 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.

B. Construction Commitments - The County has various construction contracts out-
standing at September 30, 1988. In the Capital Projects Funds projects are for
Golden Sands Park and various road projects. In the Enterprise Funds, the
landfill expansion and various water and sewer projects are under construc-
tion. A summary of these projects at September 30, 1988 is as follows:
Capital
Proiects Enterprise Total

Remaining commitment at
September 30, 1988 SS 418.2977 $3,759,960 S 4,178,257
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.
14. Change in Accounting Estimate:
During the current fiscal year, the County issued the Solid Waste Disposal System
Revenue Bonds, which are in part to fund the costs of closure of Segment I of the
Solid Waste Disposal District Landfill. The additional funding is necessary due to
certain recent regulatory requirements which have escalated the costs of closure
past the original estimates. Based on an engineering report made available in the
current year, the County estimates the total costs of closure to be $1,658,000 for
which $1,519,850 has been considered current and accrued in the current year in the
Solid Waste Disposal District Enterprise Fund.
15. Subsequent Events:
Water and Sewer System - On December 1, 1988, the County issued $3,900,000 in 6 7/88
Water Revenue Bond, Series 1988, Anticipation Notes. The notes were issued in
anticipation of the receipt by the County of the proceeds from the future sale of
its $4,000,000 Water Revenue Bonds, Series 1988. The County currently expects that
the Series 1988 Bonds will be sold at public or private sale pursuant to the laws of
the State of Florida and Resolution No. 88-44 duly adopted by the County on
August 2, 1988.
