Trust Company (BB &T), per ITB #12 -5829 Radio Road MSTU Fixed Term Loan, to
provide a fixed term loan to finance cost for the Landscaping and Irrigation construction
project within the Radio Road, East of Santa Barbara Boulevard to the Intersection of
Radio Road and Davis Boulevard Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU), approving a
loan agreement in an amount not exceeding $649,000, with a maturity date for the Note no
later than ten (10) years from the date of issuance, and authorizing such note to be payable
from ad valorem taxes in an amount not to exceed .5 mills on all taxable property within
the MSTU.
OBJECTIVE: To accept a fixed term loan proposal from BB &T to finance cost for the
landscaping and irrigation project within the Radio Road, East of Santa Barbara Boulevard to the
intersection of Radio Road and Davis Boulevard Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU) and
enter into a formal loan agreement in an amount not exceeding $649,000. Such note will be
payable from ad valorem taxes from all taxable property within the MSTU, with a maturity date
no later than ten (10) years from the date of issuance.
CONSIDERATIONS: On July 28, 2009, the Board enacted Ordinance No. 2009 -44 creating
the Radio Road, East of Santa Barbara to the intersection of Radio Road and Davis Bc zlevard
Municipal Service Taxing Unit. The principal purpose of the MSTU is to provide landscaping
and irrigation systems for the section of Radio Road from Santa Barbara Boulevard East to Davis
Boulevard.
In response to a request by the MSTU Advisory Committee, the Board authorized the placement
of a referendum on a ballot to determine if qualified electors residing within the MSTU were in
favor of utilizing debt secured by and payable from existing ad valorem taxes levied against all
taxable property within the MSTU to allow the MSTU Landscaping improvement project to be
completed sooner.
On January 31, 2012, voters within the MSTU approved, with a 71.71% margin (682 -yes; 269 -
no), utilizing the existing ad valorem property taxes to support a loan not to exceed $649,000,
with a maturity no longer than 10 years.
A request for proposal was advertised on February 23, 2012. The e- procurement system
recorded that 200 notifications were sent to potential bidders, 21 packages were downloaded, and
one proposal was received on March 09, 2012 from BB &T. On March 23, 2012 the Finance
Committee reviewed the single proposal and recommended Branch Banking and Trust Company,
as a qualified, responsive bidder.
FISCAL IMPACT: The principal amount of the loan shall not exceed $649,000 and is secured
by the ad valorem property tax receipts collected from property owners within the Radio Road
East MSTU. The annual fixed interest rate is 3.44% and the term is 10 years. The fee for legal
review and underwriting payable to BB &T is $3,000.

5/22/2012 Item 11.F.
Debt service on the loan will be paid from a separate debt service fund (266) and the millage rate
will be split between that tax amount required to be raised to satisfy debt and that amount for
operations. Level debt service will occur on this loan over the 10 year period from FY 13 to FY
22 at $76,800 per year. Each year the debt service levy will be calculated first.
Budget amendments will be required to establish the project in fund (166) as well as the debt
service budget in fund (266).
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed and approved by the County
Attorney's Office, is legally sufficient for Board action and only requires a majority vote for
approval —SRT.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact with this
Executive Summary.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners adopt the Resolution
accepting the fixed term loan proposal from BB &T to finance cost for landscaping and irrigation
improvements within the Radio Road, East of Santa Barbara Boulevard to the intersection of
Radio Road and Davis Boulevard Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU) and enter into a loan
agreement in an amount not exceeding $649,000 and requiring such note to be payable from ad
valorem taxes levied on all taxable property within the Radio Road East MSTU. Additionally,
authorize staff to process necessary budget amendments.

Naples, FL 34112
Dear Mr. Carrell:
Branch Banking and Trust Company (`BB &T ") is pleased to offer this proposal for the financing requested by
Collier County, FL ( "County").
(1) Project: Financing of the County's Radio Road East MSTU Fixed Rate Term Loan
- Landscaping and Sprinkler System Capital Improvements
(2) Amount To Be Financed: Not to Exceed $649,000.00
(3) Interest Rates, Financing Terms and Corresponding Payments:
Term NBO Rate
10 years 3.44%
Principal and interest payments shall be due monthly as requested by the County. Interest will accrue on the
principal balance of the loan based on a 30/360 day count basis. Upon being awarded this transaction BB &T must
approve of the final amortization schedule.
The loan proceeds shall be required to be deposited on behalf of the County into a project fund account with
BB &T. Earnings on the project fund shall accrue to the benefit of the County for use on project costs or interest
payments.
The interest rate stated above is valid for a closing not later than June 1, 2012. Closing of the financing is
contingent upon completing documentation acceptable to BB &T and its counsel.
Remuneration for our legal review expenses and underwriting for this financing transaction shall be $3,000.00.
All applicable costs of counsel for the County and any other costs shall be the County's responsibility and separately
payable by the County.
The financing documents shall allow for the prepayment of the principal balance in whole on a scheduled
payment date with a I% prepayment penalty.
The financing documents shall also include a provision that will outline appropriate changes to be implemented
in the event that this transaction is determined to be taxable in accordance with the Florida State Statutes or the Internal
Revenue Service code. These provisions must be acceptable to BB &T.
The stated interest rate assumes that the County expects to borrow more than $10,000,000.00 in the calendar
year 2012 and that the financing shall comply with the IRS Code Sections 141, 148 and 149(e). BB &T reserves the right
to terminate its interest in this bid or to negotiate a mutually acceptable rate if the financing is not a qualified tax - exempt
financing.

5/22/2012 Item 11.F.
(4) Financing Documents:
It shall be the responsibility of the County to retain and compensate counsel to appropriately structure the
financing documents according to Florida State statutes. BB &T shall also require the County to provide an unqualified
bond counsel opinion. BB &T and its counsel reserve the right to review and approve all documentation before closing.
(5) Security:
The loan will be secured by the ad valorem property tax receipts collected from the property owners within the
Radio Road East MSTU.
BB &T appreciates the opportunity to make this financing proposal and requests to be notified within ten days of
this proposal should BB &T be the successful proposer.
BB &T shall have the right to cancel this offer by notifying the County of its election to do so (whether or not
this offer has previously been accepted by the County) if at any time prior to the closing there is a material adverse
change in the County's financial condition, if we discover adverse circumstances of which we are currently unaware, if
we are unable to agree on acceptable documentation with the County or if there is a change in law (or proposed change in
law) that changes the economic effect of this financing to BB &T. We reserve the right to negotiate and/or terminate our
interest in this transaction should we be the successful proposer.

SECTION 2.04. LIMITED GENERAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE
COUNTY. The faith, credit and taxing power of the County shall be and are hereby

have irrevocably deposited in the Sinking Fund any moneys derived from sources other
than the aforementioned Limited Ad Valorem Tax, said Limited Ad Valorem Tax may be
correspondingly diminished; but any such diminution must leave available an amount of
such Limited Ad Valorem Tax, after allowance for anticipated delinquencies in
collection, fully sufficient, with such moneys so deposited from other sources, to assure
the prompt payment of principal and interest falling due prior to the time that the
proceeds of the next annual Limited Ad Valorem Tax levy will be available. Such
Limited Ad Valorem Tax shall be levied and collected at the same time, and in the same
manner, as other ad valorem taxes of the County are assessed, levied and collected. The

law, including, but not limited to, the Referendum Resolution. The County hereby

Obligation Note (Radio Road MSTU Project), Series 2012 Sinking Fund" which shall be

credit to the Sinking Fund the proceeds of the Limited Ad Valorem Tax. Moneys in the
Sinking Fund shall be held in trust by the County and shall be subject to a lien and charge
in favor of the Noteholder and for the further security of such Noteholder.
(b) Moneys in the Sinking Fund shall be used solely for the purpose of paying
debt service on the Note coming due (whether by maturity, scheduled mandatory
redemption or otherwise). On or prior to each Interest Payment Date and Principal
Payment Date, the County shall withdraw from the Sinking Fund sufficient moneys to
pay such principal or interest on the Note. The County covenants that it shall duly and
punctually pay the principal of and interest on the Note at the dates and place and in the
manner provided herein and in the Note according to the true intent and meaning thereof
and all other amounts due under this Agreement.
(c) The County may invest moneys on deposit in the Sinking Fund in any
investments that are authorized by applicable law.
SECTION 2.06. PROJECT FUND. The County covenants and agrees to
establish a special fund to be known as the "Collier County, Florida Limited General

used only for payment of the costs of the Project. Moneys in the Project Fund, until
applied to payment of any costs of the Project in the manner hereinafter provided, shall
be subject to a lien and charge in favor of the Noteholder and for the further security of
such Noteholder. Moneys in the Project Fund shall be held in a deposit account

5/22/2012 Item 11. F.
If the Noteholder is no longer a "qualified public depository" under Chapter 280,
Florida Statutes, the County may, in its sole discretion, immediately withdraw all of its
funds from the Project Fund and transfer them to another financial institution that
qualifies as a qualified public depository, without the necessity of providing a requisition
or requisitions as described below.
The County covenants that the acquisition, construction and equipping of the
Project will be completed without delay and in accordance with sound engineering
practices. Except as provided in the immediately succeeding paragraph, the County shall
only make disbursements or payments from the Project Fund to pay costs of the Project.
The County shall keep records of such disbursements and payments and shall retain all
such records for such periods of time as is required by applicable law. Except as
provided in the immediately succeeding paragraph, the County shall provide the
Noteholder with a fully executed requisition prior to the withdrawal of any funds from
the Project Fund for the payment of Project costs. Such requisition shall be substantially
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Clerk is authorized and directed to execute
and deliver such requisitions. The project manager for the Project is authorized and
directed to approve each requisition as to paragraphs 4 and 6 thereof.
Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 2.06, to the extent that

the payment of principal and interest on the Note.
The date of completion of the acquisition, construction and equipping of the
Project shall be filed by the County Manager with the County. Promptly after the date of
the completion of the Project, and after paying or making provisions for the payment of
all unpaid items of the costs of the Project, the County shall apply any balance of moneys

to pay debt service on the Note, and (B) for any other lawful purpose; provided the

not adversely affect the exclusion, if any, of interest on the Note from gross income for
purposes of federal income taxation.

increased or decreased, respectively, to the product obtained by multiplying the interest
rate otherwise borne by the Note by a fraction, the numerator of which is 1 minus the
Maximum Corporate Tax Rate as decreased or increased, as the case may be, and the
denominator of which is .65.

2011 (the "Referendum Resolution "), the Issuer ordered the holding of a bond
referendum election to determine if the qualified electors within the Radio Road, East of
Santa Barbara Boulevard to the Intersection of Radio Road and Davis Boulevard
Municipal Service Taxing Unit (the "MSTU ") would approve the issuance of not
exceeding $649,000 aggregate principal amount of limited general obligation bonds
payable from ad valorem taxes to be levied in an amount not to exceed .5 mills on all
taxable property within the MSTU for the principal purpose of financing costs of certain

(B) On January 31, 2012, a bond referendum election (the 'Bond Referendum
Election ") was held and the issuance of not exceeding $649,000 principal amount of
limited general obligation bonds payable from ad valorem taxes levied on all taxable
property within the MSTU in an amount not to exceed .5 mills was approved by a
majority of the qualified electors within the MSTU voting in said Bond Referendum
Election.
(C) The Issuer distributed an Invitation to Bid dated February 23, 2012 (the
"Invitation to Bid "), to various financial institutions soliciting bids to provide the Issuer
with a fixed rate term loan to finance the costs of the Project.
(D) Branch Banking and Trust Company (the "Noteholder ") has submitted a
proposal to provide the Issuer with a fixed rate term loan to finance costs of the Project,
which proposal complies with the terms and provisions of the Invitation to Bid and is
attached hereto as Exhibit A.
(E) The Issuer deems it to be in its best interest to accept the proposal of the
Noteholder and to issue its Collier County, Florida Limited General Obligation Note
(Radio Road MSTU Project), Series 2012 (the "Note ") to the Noteholder for the principal
purpose of financing costs of the Project.
(F) The Note shall be issued pursuant to this Resolution and a Loan Agreement
to be executed between the Noteholder and the Issuer (the "Loan Agreement "), the form
of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
(G) Due to the present volatility and uncertainty of the market for tax - exempt
obligations such as the Note, it is in the best interest of the Issuer to sell the Note to the
Noteholder by a negotiated sale pursuant to the provisions hereof and of the Loan
Agreement, allowing the Issuer to choose the date of issuance of the Note rather than
issuing the Note on an advertised date, thereby permitting the Issuer to obtain the best
possible price, terms and interest rate for the Note.
(H) The Note shall be repaid solely from the ad valorem tax levied on all
taxable property within the MSTU in an amount not to exceed .5 mills (the "Limited Ad
Valorem Tax ") to pay the scheduled debt service on the Note as approved by the
qualified electors within the MSTU voting in the Bond Referendum Election, as provided
herein and in the Loan Agreement.
