-10- Res. No. 97-91
each interest payment date or the fifteenth day prior to the date

Saturday, Sunday or holiday (herein the "Record Date"); provided,

any Holder of Bonds in an aggregate principal amount of at least
$1,000,000, be transmitted by wire transfer to the Holder to the bank
account number on file with the Paying Agent as of the Record Date.
The Bonds authenticated prior to the first interest payment date
shall be dated and bear interest from the date determined by subse-
quent proceedings of the Commission. Bonds authenticated subsequent
to the first interest payment date shall bear interest from the next
preceding interest payment date on which such interest has been paid,
unless such Bond is registered on an interest payment date or during
the period between a Record Date and the next succeeding interest
payment date, then from such interest payment date if interest is
then paid, as the case may be; provided, however, that if and to the
extent there is a default in the payment of the interest due on such
interest payment date, such defaulted interest shall be paid to the
persons in whose name Bonds are registered on the registration books
of the City maintained by the Registrar at the close of business on
the fifteenth day prior to a subsequent interest payment date estab-
lished by notice mailed by the Registrar to the registered owner not

cipal and premium, if any, in any coin or currency of the United

the payment of public and private debts;
The scheduled payment of principal of and interest on the
Bonds may also be secured by a Bond Insurance Policy, as shall be
determined by subsequent proceedings of the Commission.
SECTION 6. EXECUTION OF BONDS. That the Bonds shall be
executed in the name of the city by the Mayor of the City, and the
official seal of the City shall be affixed thereto or lithographed,
impressed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon, and attested by
the City Clerk, or in such other manner as may be permitted by law.
The signatures of the Mayor or the City Clerk on the Bonds may be
manual or facsimile signature. In case any one or more of the offi-
cers who shall have signed or sealed any of the Bonds shall cease to
be such officer before the Bonds so signed and sealed have been actu-
ally sold and delivered, such Bonds may nevertheless be sold and
delivered as herein provided and may be issued as if the person who
signed or sealed such Bonds had not ceased to hold such office. Any
of the Bonds may be signed and sealed on behalf of the City by such
person as at the actual time of execution of such Bonds shall hold
the proper office, although at the date of such Bonds such person may
not have held such office or may not have been so authorized.
-12- Res. No. 97-91
The Bonds shall bear thereon a certificate of registration
and authentication, in the form set forth in Section 9 hereof, exe-
cuted manually by the Registrar. Only such Bonds as shall bear
thereon such certificate of registration and authentication shall be
entitled to any right or benefit under this Resolution and no Bond
shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose until such certificate
of registration and authentication shall have been duly executed by
the Registrar. Such certificate of the Registrar upon any Bond exe-
cuted on behalf of the City shall be conclusive evidence that the
Bond so authenticated has been duly registered and authenticated and
delivered under this Resolution and that the holder thereof is enti-
tled to the benefits of this Resolution.
SECTION 7. NEGOTIABILITY, REGISTRATION AND CANCET~ATION.
At the option of the registered holder of any Bond and upon surrender
thereof at the designated corporate trust office of the Registrar,
with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar
duly executed by the registered holder of a Bond or his duly autho-
rized attorney and upon payment by such holder of any charges which
the Registrar or the City may require as provided in this Section,
the Bonds may be exchanged for Bonds of the same series and maturity
of any other authorized denominations.
The Registrar shall keep books for the registration of
Bonds and for the registration of transfers of Bonds. The Bonds
shall be transferable by the registered holder thereof in person or
by his attorney duly authorized in writing only upon the registration
-13- Res. No. 97-91
books of the City kept by the Registrar, and only upon surrender
thereof together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory
to the Registrar duly executed by the registered holder or his duly
authorized attorney. Upon the transfer of any such Bond, the City
shall issue in the name of the transferee a new Bond or Bonds.
The City, the Registrar and the Paying Agent shall deem and
treat the person in whose name any Bond shall be registered upon the
registration books kept by the Registrar as the absolute holder of
such Bond, whether such Bond shall be overdue or not, for the purpose
of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal of, premium,
if any, and interest on such Bond as the same become due and for all
other purposes. All such payments so made to any such holder or upon
his order shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the
liability upon such Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid,
and neither the City, the Registrar nor the Paying Agent shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
In all cases in which the privilege of exchanging Bonds or
transferring Bonds is exercised, the City shall execute and the
Registrar shall authenticate and deliver Bonds in accordance with the
provisions of this Resolution. All Bonds surrendered in any such
exchange and transfer shall forthwith be delivered to the Registrar
and cancelled by the Registrar in the manner provided in this
Section. There shall be no charge for any such exchange or transfer
of Bonds, but the city or the Registrar may require the payment of a
sum sufficient to pay any tax, fee or other governmental charge
-14- Res. No. 97-91
required to be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer.
Neither the City nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to transfer
or exchange Bonds for the period from a Record Date to the next suc-
ceeding interest payment date on such Bonds or 15 days next preceding
any selection of Bonds to be redeemed or thereafter until after the
mailing of any notice of redemption; or (b) to transfer or exchange
any Bonds called for redemption. However, if less than all of a Bond
is redeemed or defeased, the City shall execute and the Registrar
shall authenticate and deliver, upon the surrender of such Bond,
without charge to the Bondholder, for the unpaid balance of the prin-
cipal amount of such Bond so surrendered, a registered Bond in the
appropriate denomination.
All Bonds paid or redeemed, either at or before maturity
shall be delivered to the Registrar when such payment or redemption
is made, and such Bonds, together with all Bonds purchased by the
City, shall thereupon be promptly cancelled. Bonds so cancelled may
at any time be destroyed by the Registrar, who shall execute a cer-
tificate of destruction in duplicate by the signature of one of its
authorized officers describing the Bonds so destroyed, and one exe-
cuted certificate shall be filed with the City and the other executed
certificate shall be retained by the Registrar.
-15- Res. No. 97-91
SECTION 8. BONDS MUTILATED, DESTROYED, STOLEN OR LOST.
In case any Bond shall become mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost,
the City may execute and the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver
a new Bond of like date, maturity, denomination and interest rate as
the Bond so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost; provided that, in
the case of any mutilated Bond, such mutilated Bond shall first be
surrendered to the City and, in the case of any lost, stolen or
destroyed Bond, there shall first be furnished to the city and the
Registrar evidence of such loss, theft, or destruction satisfactory
to the city and the Registrar, together with indemnity satisfactory
to them. In the event any such Bond shall be about to mature or have
matured or have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a
duplicate Bond, the City may pay the same without surrender thereof.
The City and the Registrar may charge the Holder of suni Bond their
reasonable fees and expenses in connection with this transaction.
Any Bond surrendered for replacement shall be cancelled in the same
manner as provided in Section 7 of this Resolution.
Any such duplicate Bonds issued pursuant to this Section
shall constitute additional contractual obligations on the part of
the City, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Bonds be at
any time found by anyone, and such duplicate Bonds shall be entitled
to equal and proportionate benefits and rights as to lien on and
source and security for payment with all other Bonds issued
hereunder.

whether such bond shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiv-
ing payment of, or on account of, the principal of and interest on
such bond as the same becomes due, and for all other purposes. All

(4) In all cases in which the privilege of exchanging bonds
or transferring bonds is exercised, the City shall execute and the
Registrar shall authenticate and deliver bonds in accordance with the
provisions of the Resolution. There shall be no charge for any such
exchange or transfer of bonds, but the City or the Registrar may
require payment of a sum sufficient to pay any tax, fee or other gov-
ernmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or
transfer. Neither the City nor the Registrar shall be required (a)
to transfer or exchange bonds for a period from a Record Date to the

nant contained in the preceding sentence, the City agrees to comply
with the provisions of the Tax Certificate executed by the City on
the date of initial issuance and delivery of the Bonds, as such Tax
Certificate may be amended from time to time, as a source of guidance
for achieving compliance with the Code.
2. The City covenants that the City shall make any and
all payments required to be made to the United States Department of
the Treasury in connection with the Bonds pursuant to Section 148(f)
of the Code from amounts on deposit in the fund and accounts estab-
lished in connection with the Bonds or from other legally available
funds of the City.
3. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution
to the contrary, as long as necessary in order to maintain the exclu-
sion of the interest on the Bonds from gross income for Federal
income tax purposes, the covenants contained in this Section shall
survive the payment of the Bonds and the interest thereon, including
any payment or discharge thereof pursuant to Section 12.D of this
Resolution.
B. AD VALOREM TAX. In each year, while any of the Bonds
are outstanding and unpaid, the City covenants that there shall be
levied and collected a tax on all the taxable property within the
-29- Res. No. 97-91
City sufficient to pay the interest on the Bonds as it becomes due,
and to provide for the payment of the principal of sa~.d Bonds and
redemption premium, if any, when due and payable, and the City is,
and shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to levy and
collect or cause to be collected such ad valorem taxes without limi-
tation as to rate or amount on all the taxable property within the
City, sufficient in amount to pay all principal of and redemption
premium, if any, and interest on said Bonds as the same shall become
due and payable.
C. CREATION AND ESTABLISHMENT OF A SINKING FUND AND
VARIOUS ACCOUNTS AND THE DISPOSITION OF MONEYS. There are hereby
created and established the following fund and accounts:
THE "SINKING FUND"
All of the moneys raised by the City from the ad valorem
taxes on the taxable property within the City for the purpose of
paying the principal of and redemption premium, if any, and interest
on the Bonds herein authorized shall be deposited by the City in a
special fund to be known as the "Sinking Fund" which is hereby cre-
ated and established. The moneys in said Sinking Fund shall be used
solely for the payment of the principal of and redemption premium, if
any, and interest on said Bonds as the same become due and payable
and the registered owners of said Bonds shall have a first lien on
all such moneys in the Sinking Fund until paid and applied in the
manner permitted in this Resolution.
-30- Res. No. 97-91
There are also hereby created and established two (2)
separate accounts in the Sinking Fund to be known as the "Interest
Account" and the "Principal Account."
The moneys, at any time, on deposit in the Sinking Fund
shall be disposed of only in the following manner:
(a) Moneys shall first be used, to the full extent
necessary, for deposit into the Interest Account in the
Sinking Fund to pay interest becoming due on the Bonds on
the next semi-annual interest payment date, provided, how-
ever, that deposits for interest shall not be required to
be made into the Interest Account to the extent that money
on deposit therein is sufficient for such purpose.
(b) Moneys shall next be used, to the full extent
necessary, for deposit into the Principal Account in the
Sinking Fund to provide for the required principal amount
maturing and becoming due on the next principal payment
date, provided, however, that deposits for principal shall
not be required to be made into the Principal Account to
the extent that money on deposit therein is sufficient for
such purpose.
(c) The Sinking Fund and the accounts therein shall
constitute a trust fund in the debt service funds of the
City. The amounts required to be accounted for in the
Sinking Fund and each of the accounts designated herein,
may be deposited in a single bank account maintained by the
-31- Res. No. 97-91
city provided that adequate accounting procedures are
maintained to reflect and control the restricted alloca-
tions of the amounts on deposit therein for the various
purposes of such fund and accounts as herein provided. The
designation and establishment of a fund and accounts in and
by this Resolution shall not be construed to require the
establishment of any completely independent fund and
accounts but rather is intended solely to constitute an
allocation of moneys collected by the imposition of ad
valorem taxes.
Moneys on deposit in the Sinking Fund may be invested
in U. S. Obligations or any other permitted investment per-
mitted under Florida law (provided that such other invest-
ment shall be fully collateralized with U. S. Obligations)
maturing not later than such date or dates as the City
shall determine.
All income and earnings received from the investment and
reinvestment of moneys on deposit in the Principal Account and
Interest Account in the Sinking Fund shall be retained therein and
shall be a credit against deposits required by this Resolution.
D. DISCHARGE AND SATISFACTION OF BONDS. The covenants,
liens and pledges entered into, created or imposed pursuant to this
Resolution may be fully discharged and satisfied with respect to the
Bonds in any one or more of the following ways:
-32- Res. No. 97-91
(a) by paying the principal of and interest on Bonds
when the same shall become due and payable; or
(b) by depositing in the Interest Account and
Principal Account, or in such other accounts which are
irrevocably pledged to the payment of the Bonds, as the
City may hereafter create and establish by resolution, cer-
tain moneys, which together with other moneys lawfully
available therefor, shall be sufficient at the time of such
deposit to pay the Bonds, the interest thereon and the
redemption premium, if any, as the same become due on said
Bonds on or prior to the redemption date or maturity date
thereof; or
(c) by depositing in the Interest Account and
Principal Account or such other accounts which are irrevo-
cably pledged to the payment of the Bonds as the City may
hereafter create and establish by resolution, moneys which
together with other moneys lawfully available therefor when
invested in Defeasance Obligations will provide moneys
which shall be sufficient to pay the Bonds, the interest
thereon and the redemption premium, if any, as the same
shall become due on said Bonds on or prior to the redemp-
tion date or maturity date thereof.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing all references to
the discharge and satisfaction of Bonds shall include the
discharge and satisfaction of any issue of Bonds, any
-33- Res. No. 97-91
portion of an issue of Bonds, any maturity or maturities of
an issue of Bonds, any portion of a maturity of an issue of
Bonds or any combination thereof.
(e) If any portion of the moneys deposited for the
payment of the principal of and redemption premium, if any,
and interest on any portion of Bonds is not required for
such purpose, the City may use the amount of such excess
free and clear of any trust, lien, security interest,
pledge or assignment securing said Bonds or otherwise
existing under this Resolution.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the pay-
ment or deposit in the amount and manner provided in this Resolution
has been made by the Bond Insurer under the terms of the Bond
Insurance Policy, the Bond Insurer shall be subrogated to the rights
of the Holders of the Bonds and the liability of the City, with
respect thereto, shall not be discharged or extinguished.
Upon such payment or deposit in the amount and manner pro-
vided in this Section 12.D, the Bonds shall no longer be deemed to be
Outstanding for the purposes of the Resolution and all liability of
the City with respect to the Bonds shall cease, terminate and be com-
pletely discharged and extinguished, and the Holders thereof shall be
entitled for payment solely out of the moneys or securities so
deposited.
-34- Res. No. 97-91
SECTION 13. REDEMPTION OF REFUNDED BONDS AUTHORIZED.
That there is hereby approved and authorized the redemption of the
Refunded Bonds in the manner provided in Section 132.40 of the
Florida Statutes and the resolutions authorizing the issuance of the
Refunded Bonds.
SECTION 14. IRREVOCABLE INSTRUCTIONS TO ESCROW AGENT.
That the City irrevocably instructs the escrow agent, to be deter-
mined by subsequent resolution of the City, to publish and/or mail or
cause to be published and/or mailed, at the times and in the manner
required by the proceedings authorizing the issuance of the Refunded
Bonds, a notice of redemption of the Refunded Bonds in substantially
the forms set forth in the Escrow Deposit Agreement.
SECTION 15. CITY ELECTION TO REFUND REFUNDED BONDS.
That, pursuant to the terms of this Resolution, the City hereby
elects to refund the Refunded Bonds through the issuance of the
Bonds.
SECTION 16. COMPLIANCE WITH ACT. The City has determined
that the maximum principal amount of the Bonds does not exceed the
limit imposed by Section 132.35 of the Florida Statutes.
SECTION 17. FINANCIAL PLAN FOR REFUNDING REFUNDED BOND~.
That the plan of retiring the Refunded Bonds shall be effectuated by
depositing in trust with the escrow agent a portion of the proceeds
derived from the sale of the Bonds, which will be applied by the
escrow agent (except for any open cash balances) to the purchase of
U. S. Obligations. Such proceeds shall be in an amount sufficient to
-35- Res. No. 97-91
purchase U. S. Obligations which, with income and earnings derived
therefrom, will be sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on
the Refunded Bonds prior to the respective redemption dates, and the
redemption price plus accrued interest on such outstanding Refunded
Bonds on such redemption dates.
As a result of such financial plan, the city anticipates
that the refunding of the Refunded Bonds will result in a present
value debt service savings, calculated in accordance with
Section 132.35(2) of the Florida Statutes, of at least $90,000.
That in accordance with Section 132.36 of the Florida
Statutes, the Bonds, when issued, will bear a lower net average
interest cost rate than that borne collectively by the Refunded
Bonds.
SECTION 18. MODIFICATION OR AMENE~NT. No material modi-
fication or amendment of this Resolution or of any resolution amenda-
tory thereof or supplemental thereto, may be made without the consent
in writing of the Owners of two-thirds or more in principal amount of
the Bonds then outstanding; provided, however, that no modification
or amendment shall permit a change in the maturity of such Bonds or a
reduction in the rate of interest thereon, or affecting the uncondi-
tional promise of the City to pay the interest of and principal on
the Bonds, as the same mature or become due, or reduce such percen-
tage of Owners of such Bonds required above for such modification or
amendments, without the consent of the Owners of all the Bonds.
-36- Res. No. 97-91

poses, (iv) to secure or maintain a rating on the Bonds, or (v) to
implement or discontinue a book-entry system.

are insured by a Bond Insurance Policy and such Bonds are then rated
in as high a rating category in which such Bonds were rated at the
time of initial issuance and delivery thereof by the applicable
rating agency, then the consent of the Bond Insurer shall constitute
the consent of the Holders of the Bonds, provided such Bond Insurer
is not in default under the Bond Insurance Policy. The City shall
provide to S&P a copy of each amendment to this Resolution.

this Resolution to the contrary notwithstanding, all provisions of
this Resolution regarding ratings on the Bonds and/or rating agency
shall only be applicable in the event that the City shall elect to

one or more of the covenants, agreements or provisions of this
Resolution should be held contrary to any express provision of law or
contrary to the policy of express law, though not expressly prohibit-
ed, or against public policy, or shall for any reason whatsoever be
held invalid, then such covenants, agreements or provisions shall be

DATE: NOVEMBER 27, 1991
Resolution No. 97-91 authorizes the issuance of General
Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 1991, in an amount not
exceeding $6,500,000, for the purpose of refunding the City's
