Agenda 09/22/2020 Item #11B (Resolution - Revenue Bonds)09/22/2020
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Resolution authorizing the issuance of not exceeding
$92,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Collier County, Florida Special Obligation
Revenue Bonds, Series 2020A to finance the acquisition, construction and equipping of
various capital improvements and refinance certain outstanding indebtedness of Collier
County; and not exceeding $26,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Collier County,
Florida Taxable Special Obligation Revenue Bonds, Series 2020B to purchase certain real
property; making certain covenants and agreements with respect to said bonds;
authorizing the awarding of said bonds pursuant to a public bid; delegating certain
authority to the County Manager for the award of the bonds and the approval of the terms
and details of said bonds; authorizing the publication of a Notice of Sale for the bonds or a
summary thereof, authorizing the distribution of a preliminary official statement;
appointing the paying agent and registrar for said bonds; establishing a book -entry system
of registration for the bonds; authorizing the execution and delivery of a continuing
disclosure certificate; providing for an effective date; and approve all necessary FY 2021
budget amendments.
OBJECTIVE: To approve the enabling documents necessary to provide for an open market
competitive bid; related award and issuance of not exceeding $92,000,000 in aggregate principal
amount of Special Obligation Revenue Bonds, Series 2020A and issuance of not exceeding
$26,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Taxable Special Obligation Revenue Bonds, Series
2020B.
CONSIDERATIONS: For at least the past two fiscal years a discussion of financing certain
new and replacement capital infrastructure has been discussed by the Board at the time of Budget
Policy adoption and during budget workshops.
The issuance of debt for capital improvements is generally considered as a good alternative to
pay as you go under the philosophy that future tax payers who will also enjoy the capital
improvements should participate in funding capital improvements rather than that burden falling
solely to existing tax payers. Further, the low interest rate environment, the County's investment
quality credit rating, a revenue to debt service ratio well below the self-imposed cap of 13%, and
not raising the millage rate to pay debt service for world class capital amenities provide further
rationale for issuing strategic debt.
This planned new and replacement capital financing generally includes two components; tax
exempt financing for storm -water system improvements, parks aquatics and other
parks/recreation infrastructure and refinancing certain variable rate commercial paper debt used
to purchase the sports complex property; and a taxable component to purchase the 967 acre
Hussey property which the Board authorized in May 2020 and funds to acquire the plus or minus
1,046 acre Camp Keais parcel. The following table describes the major projects and indebtedness
sought.

Generally, planned stormwater projects considered for funding include improvements related to
flood protection, water quality, system restorations and upgrades and system enhancements to
address changes in both the built environment and natural setting, due to changing populations,
demographics and climate. A description of certain strategic system improvements is shown
below.
• Golden Gate City Outfalls: The project includes four square miles of developed area
challenged by aging infrastructure, resulting in chronic and widespread street flooding
and other nuisance flooding. Work in the area will begin by addressing the 130+
Stormwater outfalls that have reached the end of their useful life in combination with the
evaluation of the canal system's ability to receive stormwater. Future phases of the
project will focus on neighborhood improvements to provide both flood protection and
water quality improvements and will be partnered with other infrastructure improvements
planned for the area.
• Naples Park: The project is an ongoing partnership with Collier County Public Utilities
to provide new Water, Wastewater and Stormwater Infrastructure on all east -west streets
in Naples Park. The project provides significant improvements to the Stormwater
Packet Pg. 218
11.B
09/22/2020
Management System in areas that have been challenged by frequent street flooding and
other nuisance flooding concerns. These upgrades to the Stormwater System also
provide essential water quality improvements through the more modern and effective
management of Stormwater runoff, therefore reducing nutrients and other pollutants
discharged into sensitive receiving waters.
• West Goodlette Frank Road Area Stormwater Improvement: This project is Phase II of
the partnership between the City of Naples and Collier County to deliver a combined
septic to sewer conversion and stormwater infrastructure project which will address
critical flooding issues experienced in the neighborhoods and will convert approximately
900 septic systems to sanitary sewer. This project is critical for both health safety, by
providing enhanced flood protection, and water quality, as the project will decrease
nutrients being discharged to the Gordon River and ultimately Naples Bay, which are
both impaired.
• Upper Gordon River: The watershed of the Gordon River consists of more than 4,000
acres. A suite of projects are being developed to address issues such as street and
neighborhood flooding, increased conveyance of stormwater, water quality improvements
to protect sensitive receiving waters and increased flood protection level of service
through modernizing and automating structures, improvement of treatment train capacity
through pump and infrastructure upgrades, etc. These projects include the replacement of
the Gordon River AMIL gates, Freedom Park Bypass Ditch upgrades, Freedom Park
Pump Station upgrades, Gordon River Rock Weir replacement and channel
improvements etc.
Planned aquatics and other parks and recreation improvements considered for funding include;
• Various capital improvements at "Sun and Fun", Golden Gate, Immokalee and Vineyards
aquatics facilities including but not limited to, those related to pool restoration, electrical,
decking, disability improvements, activity and competitive pool improvements,
bathhouse, slide tower, pump house, splash pads, flow rider and other improvements.
• Various capital improvements at Sugden Park, North Collier Regional Park and
Caxambas Park including but not limited to, those related to piers, stationary docks,
floating docks, and boardwalks.
• Various capital improvements at Goodland and Port of the Island Marinas including but
not limited to, assessment and renovation of dock and reparation and replacement of
seawalls.
Internal Revenue Code provisions require that proceeds derived from tax exempt indebtedness be
reasonably spent within a three (3) year window. Taxable debt proceeds have no spend down
limitations. Tax exempt financing offers a lower cost of financing and the interest rate spread
between taxable and tax-exempt financing is approximately 30 to 50 basis points, depending
upon market conditions. Due to the potential for end land uses on the Hussey and Camp Keais
properties which do not qualify for tax exempt status, taxable financing is the prudent approach.
Board members will recall that taxable financing was used to acquire the Golden Gate Golf
Course.

Local Option Infrastructure Sales Tax Financing is not intended for use nor available to funding
these planned capital improvements.
This executive summary provides as attachments required documents necessary to market,
competitively sell and award these capital improvement bonds based upon the lowest true
interest cost (TIC). Also attached is the Plan of Finance prepared by PFM Financial Advisor's,
LLC., the County's independent financial advisor.
The Plan of Finance is summarized below;

Debt service will be paid from a covenant to budget and appropriate (CBA) all legally available
non ad -valorem revenues. Based upon current market conditions it is likely that the lowest TIC
bid will be lower than the planning scenario of 2.5578%.
While the "Plan of Finance" is specific regarding how proceeds will be distributed, Bond
Resolution language and language within the disclosure documents will contain customary
statements providing the County with flexibility to use proceeds from the tax exempt Series
2020A and Taxable Series 2020B for other like capital needs authorized by the County.
FINANCE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Finance Committee after discussion endorsed by majority vote the Plan of Finance as
recommended by the County's independent financial advisor.
FISCAL IMPACT: Closing on the bond issue is expected on or about November 3, 2020. Bond
proceeds on the project anticipated to be in the $115,000,000 to $117,000,000 range dependent
upon market and bid conditions (bond premium, underwriters discount, etc.) with the tax-exempt
component paid out in various construction increments over a period not to exceed three years
from closing. The Bond Resolution provides the necessary issuance flexibility to accommodate
market and bid conditions.

Memorandum
To: Collier County, Florida
From: PFM Financial Advisors LLC
Plan of Finance and Method of Sale Recommendation — Tax -Exempt and Taxable Special
Re: Obligation Revenue Bonds, Series 2020A&B
The purpose of this memorandum is to outline the plan of finance for the County's upcoming issuance of
Tax -Exempt and Taxable Special Obligation Revenue Bonds, Series 2020A&B (the "Bonds") and
summarize the recommendation of PFM Financial Advisors LLC ("PFM") to move forward in order to fund
the capital projects designated in the series resolution.
PFM has worked closely with County Administration over the last several months in order to develop a cost-
effective plan of finance to fund various capital projects, including:
• Strategic Land Acquisition: $25,000,000
• Stormwater System Improvements: $60,000,000
• Aquatics Center: $20,000,000
• Refinancing Commercial Paper Balance: $10,000,000
The projects total approximately $115,000,000 and will be funded with a combination of tax-exempt and
taxable bonds. More specifically, the land acquisition projects will be issued on a taxable basis in order to
provide the County with future flexibility as to the use(s) of the land in the future.
Current Market Conditions
At the time of this memorandum market conditions remain very favorable for municipal issuers. Interest
rates through the course of 2020 have remained very low, in fact well below the average and near the
lowest points over the last ten years (table 1). The yield curve is also favorable in the middle to long
segments, with a relatively flat borrowing cost in years 15-30 (table 2). Additionally, we have experienced
a higher volume of issuers taking advantage of the currently narrow spreads between taxable and tax-
exempt interest rates. Table 3 shows the ratio of Treasury rates vs tax-exempt rates over the last five
years.

Plan of Finance and Method of Sale
The County has historically accessed the capital markets through both public offerings and private
placements. Both methods of sale can be utilized to the County's advantage depending on the security,
size, and term of projects being financed. In the case of the 2020 Bonds, we have recommended the County
utilize a public offering in order to maximize the repayment term and fund the capital plan with a streamlined
process. A private placement to a bank provider would very likely limit the overall term of the financing to
15 years or less. The 2020 Bonds anticipate an amortization period of 25 years for the tax-exempt
component (Series A). The taxable bonds (Series B) will be structured to amortize sooner over the first 9-
10 years of the amortization term. The purpose of amortizing the taxable bonds first is to optimize the cost
of borrowing. The tax-exempt bonds will be structure to amortize after the taxable bonds in order to create
level debt service for the entirety of the 2020AB repayment term. Preliminary numbers are provided at the
end of this memorandum.

EIVIONIN>d110167a1
The 2020AB Bonds are recommended for issuance through a competitive public sale for several reasons.
First and foremost, the strong credit ratings of the County will make the Bonds attractive to investors. The
County is aware of the benefits of direct placements (competitively bid bank loans), chiefly the limited
administrative burden, faster time to market, lower costs of issuance, and less stringent continuing
disclosure. However, in our estimation at this time the funding costs are lower and can be locked for the full
term of the financing through a public offering. The non -Ad Valorem revenue security is well understood by
market participants and should be competitively bid.
We look forward to progressing forward with the plan of finance towards a successful competitive pricing
on October 7, 2020 and closing on November 3, 2020.

Florida law.

rate market, the Issuer deems it to be in its best interest to issue the Series 2020A Bonds in
order to finance costs of the Series 2020A Project and to refinance the Prior Indebtedness

and to the extent provided herein.

with this Resolution and the applicable Official Notice of Sale and offers to purchase such
Series of the Bonds at the lowest true interest cost to the Issuer, as calculated by the

SECTION 2.03. EXECUTION OF BONDS. The Bonds shall be executed in
the name of the Issuer with the manual or facsimile signature of the Chair and the official
seal of the Issuer shall be imprinted thereon, attested with the manual or facsimile signature
of the Clerk. In case any one or more of the officers who shall have signed or sealed any
of the Bonds or whose facsimile signature shall appear thereon shall cease to be such officer
of the Issuer before the Bonds so signed and sealed have been actually 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
Bond may be signed and sealed on behalf of the Issuer by such person who at the actual
time of the execution of such Bond shall hold the proper office of the Issuer, although at
the date of such Bond such person may not have held such office or may not have been so
authorized. The Issuer may adopt and use for such purposes the facsimile signatures of
any such persons who shall have held such offices at any time after the date of the adoption
of this Resolution, notwithstanding that either or both shall have ceased to hold such office
at the time the Bonds shall be actually sold and delivered.
SECTION 2.04. AUTHENTICATION. No Bond shall be secured hereunder
or entitled to the benefit hereof or shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there
shall be manually endorsed on such Bond a certificate of authentication by the Registrar or
such other entity as may be approved by the Issuer for such purpose. Such certificate on
any Bond shall be conclusive evidence that such Bond has been duly authenticated and
delivered under this Resolution. The form of such certificate shall be substantially in the
form provided in Section 2.09 hereof.
SECTION 2.05. TEMPORARY BONDS. Until definitive Bonds are
prepared, the Issuer may execute, in the same manner as is provided in Section 2.03, and
deliver, upon authentication by the Registrar pursuant to Section 2.04 hereof, in lieu of
definitive Bonds, but subject to the same provisions, limitations and conditions as the
definitive Bonds, except as to the denominations thereof, one or more temporary Bonds
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Bonds in lieu of which such temporary Bond or
Bonds are issued, in denominations authorized by the Issuer by subsequent resolution and
with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate to temporary Bonds.
The Issuer, at its own expense, shall prepare and execute definitive Bonds, which shall be
authenticated by the Registrar. Upon the surrender of such temporary Bonds for exchange,
the Registrar, without charge to the Holder thereof, shall deliver in exchange therefor
definitive Bonds, of the same Series, aggregate principal amount and maturity as the
temporary Bonds surrendered. Until so exchanged, the temporary Bonds shall in all
13
Packet Pg. 252
11.B.2
respects be entitled to the same benefits and security as definitive Bonds issued pursuant
to this Resolution. All temporary Bonds surrendered in exchange for another temporary
Bond or Bonds or for a definitive Bond or Bonds shall be forthwith cancelled by the
Registrar.
SECTION 2.06. BONDS MUTILATED, DESTROYED, STOLEN OR
LOST. In case any Bond shall become mutilated, or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Issuer
may, in its discretion, issue and deliver, and the Registrar shall authenticate, a new Bond
of like tenor as the Bond so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost, in exchange and
substitution for such mutilated Bond upon surrender and cancellation of such mutilated
Bond or in lieu of and substitution for the Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, and upon the
Holder furnishing the Issuer and the Registrar proof of his ownership thereof and
satisfactory indemnity and complying with such other reasonable regulations and
conditions as the Issuer or the Registrar may prescribe and paying such expenses as the
Issuer and the Registrar may incur. All Bonds so surrendered shall be cancelled by the
Registrar. If any of the Bonds shall have matured or be about to mature, instead of issuing
a substitute Bond, the Issuer may pay the same or cause the Bond to be paid, upon being
indemnified as aforesaid, and if such Bonds be lost, stolen or destroyed, without surrender
thereof.
Any such duplicate Bonds issued pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall constitute
original, additional contractual obligations on the part of the Issuer whether or not the lost,
stolen or destroyed Bond be at any time found by anyone, and such duplicate Bond shall
be entitled to equal and proportionate benefits and rights to the same extent as all other
Bonds issued hereunder.
SECTION 2.07. INTERCHANGEABILITY, NEGOTIABILITY AND
TRANSFER. Bonds, upon surrender thereof at the office of the Registrar with a written
instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or
his attorney duly authorized in writing, may, at the option of the Holder thereof, be
exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of registered Bonds of the same Series
and maturity of any other authorized denominations.
The Bonds issued under this Resolution shall be and have all the qualities and
incidents of negotiable instruments under the law merchant and the Uniform Commercial
Code of the State, subject to the provisions for registration and transfer contained in this
Resolution and in the Bonds. So long as any of the Bonds shall remain Outstanding, the
Issuer shall maintain and keep, at the office of the Registrar, books for the registration and
transfer of the Bonds.
Each Bond shall be transferable only upon the books of the Issuer, at the office of
the Registrar, under such reasonable regulations as the Issuer may prescribe, by the Holder
thereof in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing upon surrender thereof
together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed
14
Packet Pg. 253
11.B.2
and guaranteed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney. Upon the transfer of any
such Bond, the Issuer shall issue, and cause to be authenticated, in the name of the
transferee a new Bond or Bonds of the same Series, aggregate principal amount and
maturity as the surrendered Bond. The Issuer, the Registrar and any Paying Agent or
fiduciary of the Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Outstanding
Bond shall be registered upon the books of the Issuer as the absolute owner of such Bond,
whether such Bond shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on
account of, the principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest on such Bond and
for all other purposes, and 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 Issuer nor the Registrar nor any Paying
Agent or other fiduciary of the Issuer shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Registrar, in any case where it is not also the Paying Agent in respect to any
Bonds, forthwith (A) following the fifteenth (15th) day prior to an Interest Date for the
Bonds; (B) following the fifteenth day next preceding the date of first mailing of notice of
redemption of any Bonds; and (C) at any other time as reasonably requested by the Paying
Agent of such Bonds, shall certify and furnish to such Paying Agent the names, addresses
and holdings of Bondholders and any other relevant information reflected in the
registration books. Any Paying Agent of any fully registered Bond shall effect payment of
interest on such Bonds by mailing a check to the Holder entitled thereto or may, in lieu
thereof, upon the request and expense of such Holder, transmit such payment by bank wire
transfer for the account of such Holder.
In all cases in which the privilege of exchanging Bonds or transferring Bonds is
exercised, the Issuer shall execute and deliver Bonds and the Registrar shall authenticate
such Bonds in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution. Execution of Bonds by
the Chair and Clerk for purposes of exchanging, replacing or transferring Bonds may occur
at the time of the original delivery of the Bonds. All Bonds surrendered in any such
exchanges or transfers shall be held by the Registrar in safekeeping until directed by the
Issuer to be cancelled by the Registrar. For every such exchange or transfer of Bonds, the
Issuer or the Registrar may make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee, expense
or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer.
The Issuer and the Registrar shall not be obligated to make any such exchange or transfer
of Bonds during the fifteen (15) days next preceding an Interest Date on the Bonds or, in
the case of any proposed redemption of Bonds, then, for the Bonds subject to redemption,
during the 15 days next preceding the date of the first mailing of notice of such redemption
and continuing until such redemption date.
SECTION 2.08. FULL BOOK ENTRY FOR BONDS. Notwithstanding the
provisions set forth in Section 2.07 hereof, the Bonds shall be initially issued in the form
of a separate single certificated fully registered bond certificate for each maturity of each
Series of the Bonds. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of each such Bond shall be
15
Packet Pg. 254
11.B.2
registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as
nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). All of the Outstanding Bonds shall
be registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as
nominee of DTC. As long as the Bonds shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., all
payments of principal on the Bonds shall be made by the Paying Agent by check or draft
or by bank wire transfer to Cede & Co., as Holder of the Bonds, upon presentation of the
Bonds to be paid, to the Paying Agent.
With respect to the Bonds registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar
in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the Issuer, the Registrar and the Paying
Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to any direct or indirect participant in the
DTC book -entry program (the "Participants"). Without limiting the immediately preceding
sentence, the Issuer, the Registrar and the Paying Agent shall have no responsibility or
obligation with respect to (A) the accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co. or any
Participant with respect to any ownership interest on the Bonds, (B) the delivery to any
Participant or any other Person other than a Bondholder, as shown in the registration books
kept by the Registrar, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of
redemption, or (C) the payment to any Participant or any other Person, other than a
Bondholder, as shown in the registration books kept by the Registrar, of any amount with
respect to principal of, Redemption Price, if applicable, or interest on the Bonds. The
Issuer, the Registrar and the Paying Agent shall treat and consider the Person in whose
name each Bond is registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar as the Holder
and absolute owner of such Bond for the purpose of payment of principal, Redemption
Price, if applicable, and interest with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of giving notices
of redemption and other matters with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of registering
transfers with respect to such Bond, and for all other purposes whatsoever. The Paying
Agent shall pay all principal of, Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest on the Bonds
only to or upon the order of the respective Holders, as shown in the registration books kept
by the Registrar, or their respective attorneys duly authorized in writing, as provided herein
and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Issuer's
obligations with respect to payment of principal, Redemption Price, if applicable, and
interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No Person other than a
Holder, as shown in the registration books kept by the Registrar, shall receive a certificated
Bond evidencing the obligation of the Issuer to make payments of principal, Redemption
Price, if applicable, and interest pursuant to the provisions of this Resolution. Upon
delivery by DTC to the Issuer of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to
substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., and subject to the provisions in Section
2.07 with respect to transfers during the 15 days next preceding an Interest Date or mailing
of notice of redemption, the words "Cede & Co." shall refer to such new nominee of DTC;
and upon receipt of such notice, the Issuer shall promptly deliver a copy of the same to the
Registrar and the Paying Agent.
16
Packet Pg. 255
11.B.2
Upon (A) receipt by the Issuer of written notice from DTC (i) to the effect that a
continuation of the requirement that all of the Outstanding Bonds be registered in the
registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC,
is not in the best interest of the beneficial owners of the Bonds or (ii) to the effect that DTC
is unable or unwilling to discharge its responsibilities and no substitute depository willing
to undertake the functions of DTC hereunder can be found which is willing and able to
undertake such functions upon reasonable and customary terms, or (B) determination by
the Issuer that such book -entry only system is burdensome or undesirable to the Issuer and
compliance by the Issuer of all applicable policies and procedures of DTC regarding
discontinuance of the book entry registration system, the Bonds shall no longer be
restricted to being registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of
Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, but may be registered in whatever name or names Holders
shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution. In such event, the
Issuer shall issue, and the Registrar shall authenticate, transfer and exchange the Bonds of
like principal amount and maturity, in denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple
thereof to the Holders thereof. The foregoing notwithstanding, until such time as
participation in the book -entry only system is discontinued, the provisions set forth in the
Blanket Letter of Representations previously executed by the Issuer and delivered to DTC
shall apply to the payment of principal of, Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest on
the Bonds.
SECTION 2.09. FORM OF BONDS. The text of the Bonds shall be in
substantially the following form with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be
necessary and/or desirable and approved by the Chair prior to the issuance thereof (which
necessity and/or desirability and approval shall be presumed by such officer's execution of
the Bonds and the Issuer's delivery of the Bonds to the purchaser or purchasers thereof):

time period shall be satisfactory to the Registrar), notify the Registrar of such redemption
date and of the Series and principal amount of Bonds to be redeemed. For purposes of any
redemption of less than all of the Outstanding Bonds of a single maturity of a Series, the
particular Bonds or portions of Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected not less than 35
days prior to the redemption date by the Registrar from the Outstanding Bonds of the
maturity or maturities designated by the Issuer by such method as the Registrar shall deem
fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of Bonds or
portions of Bonds in principal amounts of $5,000 and integral multiples thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that less than the entire principal amount of a
Term Bond is to be optionally redeemed, the Issuer shall determine how the principal
amount of such refunded Term Bond is to be allocated to the Amortization Installments for
the Term Bond and shall notify the Paying Agent and Registrar of such allocation.
If less than all of the Outstanding Bonds of a single maturity of a Series are to be co
redeemed, the Registrar shall promptly notify the Issuer and Paying Agent (if the Registrar
is not the Paying Agent for such Bonds) in writing of the Bonds or portions of Bonds M
selected for redemption and, in the case of any Bond selected for partial redemption, the
principal amount thereof to be redeemed. o`

25
Packet Pg. 264
11.B.2
affect the proceedings for redemption of Bonds as to which no such failure or defect has

such Bonds, (3) the maturity date and rate of interest borne by each Bond being redeemed,

for redemption, and (12) any other conditions that must be satisfied prior to such
redemption.
In addition to the mailing of the notice described above, each notice of redemption
and payment of the Redemption Price shall meet the following requirements; provided,
however, the failure to provide such further notice of redemption or to comply with the
terms of this paragraph shall not in any manner defeat the effectiveness of a call for
redemption if notice thereof is given as prescribed above:

delivery service or telecopy to all registered securities depositories then in the business of

ARTICLE IV
SECURITY; FUNDS; COVENANTS OF THE ISSUER
SECTION 4.01. BONDS NOT TO BE INDEBTEDNESS OF ISSUER. The
Bonds shall not be or constitute general obligations or indebtedness of the Issuer as "bonds"
within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision, but shall be special
obligations of the Issuer, payable solely from amounts budgeted and appropriated by the
Issuer from Non -Ad Valorem Revenues in accordance with Section 4.02 hereof. No
Holder of any Bond shall ever have the right to compel the exercise of any ad valorem
taxing power to pay such Bond, or be entitled to payment of such Bond from any moneys
of the Issuer except from the Non -Ad Valorem Revenues in the manner and to the extent
provided herein.
SECTION 4.02. COVENANT TO BUDGET AND APPROPRIATE;
PAYMENT OF BONDS. During such time as any of the Bonds are outstanding hereunder
or any amounts due hereunder or with respect to the Bonds remain unpaid or outstanding,
the Issuer covenants and agrees to appropriate in its annual budget, by amendment, if
necessary, from Non -Ad Valorem Revenues amounts sufficient to (A) pay principal of and
interest on the Bonds when due, and (B) pay all required deposits to the Rebate Fund
pursuant to Section 4.03 hereof. Such covenant and agreement on the part of the Issuer to
budget and appropriate such amounts of Non -Ad Valorem Revenues shall be cumulative
to the extent not paid, and shall continue until such Non -Ad Valorem Revenues or other
legally available funds in amounts sufficient to make all such required payments shall have
been budgeted, appropriated and actually paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing covenant
of the Issuer, the Issuer does not covenant to maintain any services or programs, now
provided or maintained by the Issuer, which generate Non -Ad Valorem Revenues.
Such covenant to budget and appropriate does not create any lien upon or pledge of
such Non -Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it preclude the Issuer from pledging in the future
its Non -Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it require the Issuer to levy and collect any
particular Non -Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it give the Bondholders a prior claim on
the Non -Ad Valorem Revenues as opposed to claims of general creditors of the Issuer.
Such covenant to appropriate Non -Ad Valorem Revenues is subject in all respects to the
payment of obligations secured by a pledge of such Non -Ad Valorem Revenues heretofore
or hereafter entered into (including the payment of debt service on bonds and other debt
instruments). However, the covenant to budget and appropriate for the purposes and in the
manner stated herein shall have the effect of making available for the payment of the
Bonds, in the manner described herein, Non -Ad Valorem Revenues and placing on the
Issuer a positive duty to appropriate and budget, by amendment, if necessary, amounts
sufficient to meet its obligations hereunder; subject, however, in all respects to the
restrictions of Section 129.07, Florida Statutes, which generally provide that the governing
body of each county may only make appropriations for each fiscal year which, in any one
year, shall not exceed the amount to be received from taxation or other revenue sources;
Packet Pg. 267
11.B.2
and subject, further, to the payment of services and programs which are for essential public
purposes affecting the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the Issuer or which
are legally mandated by applicable law.
The Issuer covenants and agrees to transfer to the Paying Agent for the Bonds, solely
from funds budgeted and appropriated as described in this Section 4.02, on or prior to the
date designated for payment of any principal of or interest on the Bonds, sufficient moneys
to pay such principal or interest. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall utilize such moneys
for payment of the principal and interest on the Bonds when due.
SECTION 4.03. REBATE FUND. The Issuer covenants and agrees to
establish a special fund to be known as the "Collier County, Florida Special Obligation
Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2020A Rebate Fund," which shall be held in trust by the
Issuer and used solely to make required rebates to the United States (except to the extent
the same may be used to pay debt service on the Series 2020A Bonds) and the Bondholders
shall have no right to have the same applied for debt service on the Bonds. The Issuer
agrees to undertake all actions required of it in its arbitrage certificate relating to the Series
2020A Bonds, including, but not limited to:
(A) making a determination in accordance with the Code of the amount required
to be deposited in the Rebate Fund;
(B) depositing the amount determined in clause (A) above into the Rebate Fund;
(C) paying on the dates and in the manner required by the Code to the United
States Treasury from the Rebate Fund and any other legally available moneys of the Issuer
such amounts as shall be required by the Code to be rebated to the United States Treasury;
and
(D) keeping such records of the determinations made pursuant to this Section
4.03 as shall be required by the Code, as well as evidence of the fair market value of any
investments purchased with proceeds of the Series 2020A Bonds.
The provisions of the above -described arbitrage certificates may be amended
without the consent of any Holder from time to time as shall be necessary, in the opinion
of Bond Counsel, to comply with the provisions of the Code.
SECTION 4.04. ANTI -DILUTION. During such time as any Bonds are
Outstanding hereunder, the Issuer agrees and covenants with the Bondholders that upon
the issuance of any subsequent Debt (1) Non -Ad Valorem Revenues shall cover projected
Maximum Annual Debt Service on the Bonds and maximum annual debt service on Debt
by at least 1.5x; and (2) projected Maximum Annual Debt Service on the Bonds and
maximum annual debt service for all Debt will not exceed 20% of the aggregate of General
Fund Revenues, MSTD Revenues and Impact Fee Proceeds exclusive of (a) ad valorem
29
Packet Pg. 268
11.B.2
tax revenues restricted to payment of debt service on any Debt and (b) any proceeds of the
Bonds or Debt. The calculations required by clauses (1) and (2) above shall be determined
using the average of actual Non -Ad Valorem Revenues, General Fund Revenues, MSTD
Revenues and Impact Fee Proceeds for the prior two Fiscal Years based on the Issuer's
Annual Audits. For purposes of the calculations required by clauses (1) and (2) above,
Maximum Annual Debt Service on the Bonds and maximum annual debt service on Debt
shall be done on an aggregate basis whereby the annual debt service for each is combined
and the overall maximum is determined.
For the purposes of the covenants contained in this Section 4.04, maximum annual
debt service on Debt means, with respect to Debt that bears interest at a fixed interest rate,
the actual maximum annual debt service, and, with respect to Debt which bears interest at
a variable interest rate, maximum annual debt service on such Debt shall be determined
assuming that interest accrues on such Debt at the current "Bond Buyer Revenue Bond
Index" as published in The Bond Buyer no more than two weeks prior to any such
calculation; provided, however, if any Debt, whether bearing interest at a fixed or variable
interest rate, constitutes Balloon Indebtedness, as defined in the immediately following
sentence, maximum annual debt service on such Debt shall be determined assuming such
Debt is amortized over 20 years from its original date of issuance on an approximately
level debt service basis. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, "Balloon Indebtedness"
means Debt, 25% or more of the original principal of which matures during any one Fiscal
Year. In addition, with respect to debt service on any Debt which is subject to a Qualified
Hedge Agreement, interest on such Debt during the term of such Qualified Hedge
Agreement shall be deemed to be the Hedge Payments coming due during such period of
time. With respect to debt service on any Debt with respect to which the Issuer elects to
receive or is otherwise entitled to receive direct subsidy payments from the United States
Department of Treasury, when determining the interest on such Debt for any particular
interest payment date the amount of the corresponding subsidy payment shall be deducted
from the amount of interest which is due and payable with respect to such Debt on the
interest payment date, but only to the extent that the Issuer reasonably believes that it will
be in receipt of such subsidy payment on or prior to such interest payment date.
SECTION 4.05. REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT. The Issuer covenants and
agrees to establish a special account to be known as the "Collier County, Florida Taxable
Special Obligation Revenue Bond, Series 2020B Real Property Account," which shall be
used only for costs related to the purchase of the Real Estate. The Issuer may establish
separate subaccounts within the Real Property Account. Moneys in the Real Property
Account, until applied in payment of any item of the costs of the purchase of the Real
Property in the manner hereinafter provided, shall be subject to a lien and charge in favor
of the Holders of the Series 2020B Bonds and for the further security of such Holders.

paid by the provisions of this Resolution, and there may be paid into the Real Property

an Authorized Issuer Officer in the appropriate records of the Issuer. Promptly after the
date of such completion and after paying or making provision for the payment of all unpaid
items of the costs related to the purchase of the Real Property, the Issuer shall apply any
balance of moneys remaining in an account in the Real Property Account to pay debt
service on the Series 2020B Bonds or shall be applied for any other capital project or
improvement of the Issuer that is approved by the Board.

agrees to establish, a special account to be known as the " Collier County, Florida Special
Obligation Revenue Bonds, Series 2020A Construction Account," which shall be used only
for payment of costs of the Series 2020A Project. The Issuer may establish separate
accounts within the Construction Account. Moneys in the Construction Account, until

The proceeds of insurance maintained pursuant to this Resolution against physical
loss of or damage to the Series 2020A Project, or of contractors' performance bonds with
respect thereto pertaining to the period of construction thereof, shall be deposited into the
Construction Account.
Any moneys received by the Issuer from the State or from the United States of
America or any agencies thereof for the purpose of financing part of the costs the Series

manner as other Series 2020A Bond proceeds are used therein; provided that separate
accounts or subaccounts may be established in the Construction Account for moneys
received pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph whenever required by Federal or State
law.
The Issuer covenants that the acquisition, construction and installation of the Series
2020A Project will be completed without delay and in accordance with sound engineering
practices. The Issuer shall make disbursements or payments from the Construction
Account to pay costs of the Series 2020A Project. The Issuer shall keep records of such
disbursements and payments and shall retain all such records for such period of time as
required by applicable law. The Issuer shall make available the records at all reasonable
times for inspection by any Holder of any of the Series 2020A Bonds or the agent or
representative of any Holder of any of the Series 2020A Bonds.

described in this Section 8.01, the Issuer shall cause the Registrar to mail a notice to the

Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Issuer to call any of the Outstanding
Bonds for redemption prior to maturity pursuant to any applicable optional redemption
provisions, or to impair the discretion of the Issuer in determining whether to exercise any

Page 4
Packet Pg. 293
11.B.3
in the Bond Resolution) amounts sufficient to (A) pay principal of and interest on the Bonds
when due, and (B) pay all required deposits to the Rebate Fund (as defined in the Bond
Resolution) pursuant to the Bond Resolution. Such covenant and agreement on the part of
the County to budget and appropriate such amounts of Non -Ad Valorem Revenues shall
be cumulative to the extent not paid, and shall continue until such Non -Ad Valorem
Revenues or other legally available funds in amounts sufficient to make all such required
payments shall have been budgeted, appropriated and actually paid. Notwithstanding the
foregoing covenant of the County, the County does not covenant to maintain any services
or programs, now provided or maintained by the County, which generate Non -Ad Valorem
Revenues.
Such covenant to budget and appropriate does not create any lien upon or pledge of
such Non -Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it preclude the County from pledging in the a
future its Non -Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it require the County to levy and collect m
any particular Non -Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it give the Bondholders a prior claim o
on the Non -Ad Valorem Revenues as opposed to claims of general creditors of the County. N
Such covenant to appropriate Non -Ad Valorem Revenues is subject in all respects to the •R
payment of obligations secured by a pledge of such Non -Ad Valorem Revenues heretofore cn
or hereafter entered into (including the payment of debt service on bonds and other debt
instruments). However, the covenant to budget and appropriate for the purposes and in the o
manner stated herein shall have the effect of making available for the payment of the o
CM
Bonds, in the manner described in the Bond Resolution, Non -Ad Valorem Revenues and
placing on the County a positive duty to appropriate and budget, by amendment, if
necessary, amounts sufficient to meet its obligations under the Bond Resolution; subject, `n
however, in all respects to the restrictions of Section 129.07, Florida Statutes, which
generally provide that the governing body of each county may only make appropriations r
for each fiscal year which, in any one year, shall not exceed the amount to be received from
taxation or other revenue sources; and subject, further, to the payment of services and n
programs which are for essential public purposes affecting the health, safety and welfare c
of the inhabitants of the County or which are legally mandated by applicable law.

ADJUSTMENT OF AMOUNTS AND MATURITIES
The aggregate principal amount of each maturity of Bonds is subject to adjustment
by the County after the receipt and opening of the bids for their purchase. Changes to be
made after the opening of the bids will be communicated to the successful bidder directly
prior to 8:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Savings Time on the date following the sale date.
The County may cancel the sale of the Bonds or adjust the aggregate principal
amount. The County may increase or decrease the principal amount of the Bonds or any
maturity thereof by no more than the individual maturity or aggregate principal
percentages, if any, shown in the Summary Table. This may include the elimination of one
or more maturities. The County will consult with the successful bidder before adjusting
the amount of any maturity of the Bonds or canceling the Bonds; however, the County
reserves the sole right to make adjustments, within the limits described above, or cancel
the sale of the Bonds.
Adjustment to the size of the Bonds within the limits described above does not
relieve the successful bidder from its obligation to purchase all of the Bonds offered by the
County.
Each bid must specify the initial reoffering prices to the public of each maturity of
y
Bonds. Adjustments may be made to the principal amounts based on the reoffering prices
shown on the Parity System. In determining whether there will be any revision to the
c!?
principal amount of or maturity of the Bonds subsequent to the bid opening and award, the
County expects that changes may be made that are necessary to increase or decrease the
r
principal amount of the Bonds to meet the County's funding objectives, all subject to the
limitations set forth above.
In the event that the principal amount of any maturity of the Bonds is revised after
the award, the interest rate and reoffering price for each maturity and the Underwriter's
Discount on the Bonds as submitted by the successful bidder shall be held constant. The
"Underwriter's Discount" shall be defined as the difference between the purchase price of
the Bonds submitted by the bidder and the price at which the Bonds will be issued to the
public, calculated from information provided by the bidder, divided by the par amount of
the Bonds bid.
FORM AND PAYMENT
The Bonds will be issued in fully registered, book -entry only form and a bond
certificate for each maturity will be issued to The Depository Trust Company, New York,
New York ("DTC"), registered in the name of its nominee, Cede & Co. A book -entry
system will be employed, evidencing ownership of the Bonds, with transfers of ownership
effected on the records of DTC and its participants pursuant to rules and procedures

adopted by DTC and its participants. The successful bidder, as a condition to delivery of
the Bonds, will be required to deposit the Bond certificates with DTC or the Registrar (as
defined below), registered in the name of Cede & Co. Principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Bonds will be payable by UMB Financial Corporation, the paying agent and
registrar (the "Registrar") for the Bonds by wire transfer or in clearinghouse funds to DTC
or its nominee as registered owner of the Bonds. Transfer of principal, premium, if any,
and interest payments to the beneficial owners by participants of DTC will be the
responsibility of such participants and other nominees of beneficial owners. Neither the
County nor the Registrar will be responsible or liable for payments by DTC to its
participants or by DTC participants to beneficial owners or for maintaining, supervising or
reviewing the records maintained by DTC, its participants or persons acting through such
participants. Principal of, and premium, if any, on the Bonds and interest on the Bonds is
payable on the dates shown in the Summary Table. So long as DTC or its nominee is the
registered owner of the Bonds, payments of principal, interest and any redemption
premium on the Bonds will be made to DTC or its nominee.

W

The bidder understands, by submission of its bid, that the bidder is solely responsible for
v
the selection of any insurer and for all negotiations with the insurer as to the premium to

AWARD OF BID
The County expects to award the Bonds to the winning bidder as soon as practicable
after the bids are opened on the sale date. Bids may not be withdrawn prior to the award.
Unless all bids are rejected, the Bonds will be awarded by the County on the sale date to
the bidder whose bid complies with this Official Notice of Sale and results in the lowest
true interest cost ("TIC") to the County. The lowest TIC will be determined by doubling
the semi-annual interest rate, compounded semi-annually, necessary to discount the debt
service payments from the payment dates to the dated date of the Bonds and to the
aggregate purchase price of the Bonds. If two or more responsible bidders offer to purchase
the Bonds at the same lowest TIC, the County will award the Bonds to one of such bidders
by lot. Only the final bid submitted by any bidder through the Parity System will be
considered. The right reserved to the County shall be final and binding upon all bidders

ANY AND ALL BIDS AND TO WAIVE IRREGULARITY OR INFORMALITY IN
ANY BID.

in New York, New York on or about the delivery date shown in the Summary Table, or
such other date agreed upon by the County and the successful bidder. Payment for the

The successful bidder for the Bonds is required to submit its Good Faith Deposit
(see Summary Table) to the County in the form of a wire transfer in federal funds not later
than 2:30 p.m., Eastern Daylight Savings Time, on the day of the award. If such deposit is

The Good Faith Deposit so wired will be retained by the County until the delivery
of such Bonds, at which time the Good Faith Deposit will be applied against the purchase
price of such Bonds or the Good Faith Deposit will be retained by the County as partial
liquidated damages in the event of the failure of the successful bidder to take up and pay

The County will pay no interest on the Good Faith Deposit. The balance of the purchase
price must be wired in federal funds to the account detailed in the closing memorandum
provided by the County to the successful purchaser, simultaneously with delivery of such
Bonds.
CUSIP NUMBERS
It is anticipated that CUSIP numbers will be printed on the Bonds, but neither failure
to print such numbers on any Bonds nor any error with respect thereto will constitute cause
for a failure or refusal by the purchaser thereof to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds.
Neither the County nor Bond Counsel will review or express any opinion as to the
correctness of such CUSIP numbers. The policies of the CUSIP Service Bureau will
govern the assignment of specific numbers to the Bonds. The County's Financial Advisor
will be responsible for applying for and obtaining CUSIP numbers for the Bonds. All
expenses in relation to the printing of CUSIP numbers on the Bonds will be paid for by the
County; provided, however, that the CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of
said numbers will be the responsibility of and will be paid for by the successful bidder.
BLUE SKY
The County has not undertaken to register the Bonds under the securities laws of
any state, nor investigated the eligibility of any institution or person to purchase or
participate in the underwriting of the Bonds under any applicable legal investment,
insurance, banking or other laws. By submitting a bid for the Bonds, the successful bidder
represents that the sale of the Bonds in states other than Florida will be made only under
exemptions from registration or, wherever necessary, the successful bidder will register the
Bonds in accordance with the securities laws of the state in which the Bonds are offered or
sold. The County agrees to cooperate with the successful bidder, at the bidder's written
request and expense, in registering the Bonds or obtaining an exemption from registration
in any state where such action is necessary; provided, however, that the County shall not
be required to consent to suit or to service of process in any jurisdiction.
CERTAIN DISCLOSURE OBLIGATIONS OF THE PURCHASER
Section 218.38(1)(b)(2), Florida Statutes, requires that the successful purchaser file
a statement with the County containing information with respect to any fee, bonus or
gratuity paid, in connection with the Bonds, by any underwriter or financial consultant to
Collier County, Florida [Taxable] Special Obligation Revenue Bonds, Series 2020[AI[B] - Official Notice of Sale
Page 12
Packet Pg. 301
11.B.3
any person not regularly employed or engaged by such underwriter or consultant. Receipt
of such statement is a condition precedent to the delivery of the Bonds to such successful
bidder.
The winning bidder must (1) complete the Truth -in -Bonding Statement provided by
Bond Counsel (the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A) and (2) indicate whether
such bidder has paid any finder's fee to any person in connection with the sale of the Bonds
in accordance with Section 218.386, Florida Statutes.
[ESTABLISHMENT OF ISSUE PRICE
The winning bidder shall assist the County in establishing the issue price of the
Bonds and shall execute and deliver to the County on or prior to the closing date for the
Bonds an "issue price" or similar certificate setting forth the reasonably expected initial
offering prices to the public or the actual sales price or prices of the Bonds, together with
the supporting pricing wires or equivalent communications, substantially in the applicable
form attached hereto as Exhibit B, with such modifications as may be appropriate or
necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the winning bidder, the County and Bond
Counsel.
The County intends that the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 4)
1.148-1(f)(3)(i) (defining "competitive sale" for purposes of establishing the issue price of cn
the Bonds) will apply to the initial sale of the Bonds ("competitive sale requirements")
because:
M

(1) the County has disseminated this Official Notice of Sale to potential
underwriters in a manner that is reasonably designed to reach potential underwriters; n
4-
0
(2) all bidders shall have an equal opportunity to bid;
0
(3) the County expects to receive bids from at least three underwriters of
municipal bonds who have established industry reputations for underwriting new
issuances of municipal bonds; and
(4) the County anticipates awarding the sale of the Bonds to the bidder
who submits a firm offer to purchase the Bonds at the lowest true interest cost, as
set forth in this Official Notice of Sale.
Any bid submitted pursuant to this Official Notice of Sale shall be considered a firm
offer for the purchase of the Bonds, as specified in the bid. BY SUBMITTING A BID
FOR THE BONDS, A BIDDER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS TO THE
COUNTY THAT THE BIDDER HAS AN ESTABLISHED INDUSTRY
REPUTATION FOR UNDERWRITING NEW ISSUANCES OF MUNICIPAL

BONDS SUCH AS THE BONDS AND SUCH BIDDER'S BID IS SUBMITTED FOR
AND ON BEHALF OF SUCH BIDDER BY AN OFFICER OR AGENT WHO IS
DULY AUTHORIZED TO BIND THE BIDDER TO A LEGAL, VALID AND
ENFORCEABLE CONTRACT FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE BONDS. Once the
bids are communicated electronically via the Parity System to the County, each bid will
constitute an irrevocable offer to purchase the Bonds on the terms herein and therein
provided.
In the event that the competitive sale requirements are not satisfied, the County shall
so advise the winning bidder. In such case, the County shall treat the first price at which
10% of a maturity of the Bonds is sold to the public (the "10% test") as the issue price of
that maturity, applied on a maturity -by -maturity basis. The winning bidder shall advise
the County if any maturity of the Bonds satisfies the 10% test as of the date and time of the
award of the Bonds. [The County will not require bidders to comply with the "hold -the -
offering -price rule" set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1. 148-1 (f)(2)(ii) and therefore
does not intend to use the initial offering price to the public as of the sale date of any
maturity of the Bonds as the issue price of that maturity. Bids will not be subject to
cancellation by the bidders in the event that the competitive sale requirements are not
satisfied; provided, however, the County reserves the right to reject any and all bids, for
any reason, as set forth under "RIGHT OF REJECTION" herein. Bidders should prepare
their bids on the assumption that all of the maturities of the Bonds will be subiect to the
10% test in order to establish the issue price of the Bonds.]
If the competitive sale requirements are not satisfied, then until the 10% test has M
been satisfied as to each maturity of the Bonds, the winning bidder agrees to promptly
report to the County the prices at which the unsold Bonds of each maturity have been sold M
to the public. That reporting obligation shall continue, whether or not the closing date for —
the Bonds has occurred, until the 10% test has been satisfied for each maturity or until all 0
Bonds of that maturity have been sold. o
By submitting a bid and if the competitive sale requirements are not met, each bidder
confirms that: (i) any agreement among underwriters, any selling group agreement and
each retail distribution agreement (to which the bidder is a party) relating to the initial sale
of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain
language obligating each underwriter, each dealer who is a member of the selling group,
and each broker -dealer that is a party to such retail distribution agreement, as applicable,
to report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allotted
to it until it is notified by the winning bidder that either the 10% test has been satisfied as
to the Bonds of that maturity or all Bonds of that maturity have been sold to the public, if
and for so long as directed by the winning bidder and as set forth in the related pricing
wires, and (ii) any agreement among underwriters relating to the initial sale of the Bonds
to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language

obligating each underwriter that is a party to a retail distribution agreement to be employed
in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public to require each broker -dealer
that is a party to such retail distribution agreement to report the prices at which it sells to
the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allotted to it until it is notified by the winning
bidder or such underwriter that either the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of
that maturity or all Bonds of that maturity have been sold to the public, if and for so long
as directed by the winning bidder or such underwriter and as set forth in the related pricing
wires.
Sales of any Bonds to any person that is a related parry to an underwriter shall not
constitute sales to the public for purposes of this Official Notice of Sale. Further, for
purposes of this Official Notice of Sale:
(i) "public" means any person other than an underwriter or a related parry
(as defined in Section 1.150-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations) to an underwriter,
(ii) "underwriter" means (A) any person that agrees pursuant to a written =�
contract (i.e. this Official Notice of Sale) with the County (or with the lead a

The purpose of this Official Statement, including the cover page and appendices, is to set forth

THE SERIES 2020 BONDS SHALL NOT BE OR CONSTITUTE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS OR

interest to the redemption date.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SERIES 2020 BONDS
General
The Series 2020 Bonds shall be issued only in fully registered form without coupons in principal
denominations of $5,000 each or any integral multiple thereof. The Series 2020 Bonds are dated as of their

cover page hereof. Interest on the Series 2020 Bonds is payable semiannually on each April and
October 1, commencing April 1, 2021 (the "Interest Dates"). Interest payable on the Series 2020 Bonds on
any Interest Date shall be paid by check or draft of UMB Financial Corporation, Dallas, Texas, as Paying

maintained by UMB Financial Corporation, Dallas, Texas, as Registrar, as of the close of business on the
fifteenth (15th) day (whether or not a business day) of the calendar month next preceding the applicable
Interest Date (the "Record Date"); provided, however, at the request of any holder of Series 2020 Bonds,
interest payments may be made by bank wire transfer to the account designated by such holder.
Principal of, or Redemption Price, if applicable, on the Series 2020 Bonds is payable to the holder thereof
at the designated corporate office of the Paying Agent, except as otherwise described below under the

The Series 2020 Bonds will be issued initially as book -entry obligations and held by The N
Depository Trust Company ("DTC") as securities depository. The ownership of one fully registered Series
2020 Bond for each maturity as set forth on the inside cover page hereof, in the appropriate aggregate `m
co
principal amount of such maturity, will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC.
For more information regarding DTC and DTC's Book -Entry System, see the subheading "—Book-Entry
Only System" which immediately follows.
Book -Entry Only System
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CONCERNING THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY
("DTC") AND DTC'S BOOK -ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM HAS BEEN OBTAINED FROM SOURCES THAT
THE COUNTY BELIEVES TO BE RELIABLE. THE COUNTY TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE
ACCURACY THEREOF.
SO LONG AS CEDE & CO. IS THE REGISTERED OWNER OF THE SERIES 2020 BONDS, AS
NOMINEE OF DTC, CERTAIN REFERENCES IN THIS OFFICIAL STATEMENT TO THE SERIES 2020
BONDHOLDERS OR REGISTERED OWNERS OF THE SERIES 2020 BONDS SHALL MEAN CEDE &
CO. AND WILL NOT MEAN THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF THE SERIES 2020 BONDS. THE
DESCRIPTION WHICH FOLLOWS OF THE PROCEDURES AND RECORD KEEPING WITH RESPECT
TO BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP INTERESTS IN THE SERIES 2020 BONDS, PAYMENT OF INTEREST
AND PRINCIPAL ON THE SERIES 2020 BONDS TO DIRECT PARTICIPANTS (AS HEREINAFTER
DEFINED) OR BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF THE SERIES 2020 BONDS, CONFIRMATION AND
TRANSFER OF BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP INTERESTS IN THE SERIES 2020 BONDS, AND OTHER
RELATED TRANSACTIONS BY AND BETWEEN DTC, THE DIRECT PARTICIPANTS AND
BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF THE SERIES 2020 BONDS IS BASED SOLELY ON INFORMATION
FURNISHED BY DTC. ACCORDINGLY, THE COUNTY NEITHER MAKES NOR CAN MAKE ANY
REPRESENTATIONS CONCERNING THESE MATTERS.

DTC will act as securities depository for the Series 2020 Bonds. The Series 2020 Bonds will be
issued as fully -registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or
such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully -registered
Series 2020 Bond certificate will be issued for each maturity of each series of the Series 2020 Bonds in the
aggregate principal amount thereof, and will be deposited with DTC.
DTC, the world's largest securities depository, is a limited -purpose trust company organized g
r
under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York ZM
Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of o
the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions
1
of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 0
3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money a
market instruments from over 100 countries that DTC's participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with op
DTC. DTC also facilitates the post -trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other c
securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book -entry transfers and N
pledges between Direct Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of m
�L
securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, (n
banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly -owned
subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC is the holding company for `°
Q
DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are N
registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the N
DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers,
banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship
Cn
with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). The Direct Participants and
the Indirect Participants are collectively referred to herein as the "DTC Participants." DTC has an S&P
Global Ratings ("S&P") rating of AA+. The DTC Rules applicable to its DTC Participants are on file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). More information about DTC can be found at
www.dtcc.com. d
Purchases of Series 2020 Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct
Participants, which will receive a credit for the Series 2020 Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership
interest of each actual purchaser of each Series 2020 Bond ("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded
on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation
from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations
providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or
Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of
ownership interests in the Series 2020 Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of
Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive
certificates representing their ownership interests in the Series 2020 Bonds, except in the event that use of
the book -entry system for the Series 2020 Bonds is discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Series 2020 Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with
DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be
requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of the Series 2020 Bonds with DTC and
their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in
beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Series 2020 Bonds;
DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Series 2020
25694/009/01626500.DOCv3
5 Packet Pg. 334
11.B.5
Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants
will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct
Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial
Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory
requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Series 2020 Bonds may wish to
take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the
Series 2020 Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the security
documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Series 2020 Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee
holding the Series 2020 Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial
Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the
Bond Registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to
the Series 2020 Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's MMI
Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the County as soon as possible
after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those
Direct Participants to whose accounts Series 2020 Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a
listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
Payment of principal and interest on the Series 2020 Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or such m
other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit `m
co
Direct Participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the
County, on the payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records.
Payments by DTC Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and M
customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or
registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such DTC Participant and not of DTC or the d
County, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. d
Payment of principal and redemption proceeds to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be y
requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the County, disbursement of M
such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such 0
payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. p
DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Series 2020 Bonds
at any time by giving reasonable notice to the County. Under such circumstances, in the event that a
successor depository is not obtained, the Series 2020 Bonds are required to be printed and delivered.
The County may decide to discontinue use of the system of book -entry -only transfers through
DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Series 2020 Bonds certificates will be printed
and delivered to DTC.
Interchangeability, Negotiability and Transfer
So long as the Series 2020 Bonds are registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, the following
paragraphs relating to transfer and exchange of Series 2020 Bonds do not apply to the Series 2020 Bonds to the
extent of a conflict with the DTC book -entry system.

incidents of negotiable instruments under the law merchant and the Uniform Commercial Code of the
State, subject to the provisions for registration and transfer contained in the Resolution and in the Series
2020 Bonds. So long as any of the Series 2020 Bonds shall remain Outstanding, the County shall maintain

Q
whose name any Outstanding Series 2020 Bond shall be registered upon the books of the County as the
N
absolute owner of such Series 2020 Bond, whether such Series 2020 Bond shall be overdue or not, for the
c
N
purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, and
interest on such Series 2020 Bond and for all other purposes, and 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
co
Series 2020 Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid and neither the County nor the Registrar nor
any Paying Agent or other fiduciary of the County shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
In
M

The Registrar, in any case where it is not also the Paying Agent in respect to any Series 2020
Bonds, forthwith (A) following the fifteenth (15th) day prior to an Interest Date for the Series 2020 Bonds;
(B) following the fifteenth (15th) day next preceding the date of first mailing of notice of redemption of
any Series 2020 Bonds; and (C) at any other time as reasonably requested by the Paying Agent of such

the County shall execute and deliver Series 2020 Bonds and the Registrar shall authenticate such Series
2020 Bonds in accordance with the provisions of the Resolution. Execution of Series 2020 Bonds by the
Chair and Clerk for purposes of exchanging, replacing or transferring Series 2020 Bonds may occur at the
time of the original delivery of the Series 2020 Bonds. All Series 2020 Bonds surrendered in any such
exchanges or transfers shall be held by the Registrar in safekeeping until directed by the County to be
cancelled by the Registrar. For every such exchange or registration of transfer of Series 2020 Bonds, the
County or the Registrar may make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee, expense or other
governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer. The County and the
Registrar shall not be obligated to make any such exchange or transfer of Series 2020 Bonds during the
fifteen (15) days next preceding an Interest Date on the Series 2020 Bonds or, in the case of any proposed

Series 2020 Bonds Mutilated, Destroyed, Stolen or Lost
So long as the Series 2020 Bonds are registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, the following
paragraphs relating to mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Series 2020 Bonds do not apply to the Series 2020 Bonds
to the extent of a conflict with the DTC book -entry system.
In case any Series 2020 Bond shall become mutilated, or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the County
may, in its discretion, issue and deliver, and the Registrar shall authenticate, a new Series 2020 Bond of
like tenor as the Series 2020 Bond so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost, in exchange and substitution for
such mutilated Series 2020 Bond upon surrender and cancellation of such mutilated Series 2020 Bond or
in lieu of and substitution for the Series 2020 Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, and upon the Series 2020
Bondholder furnishing the County and the Registrar proof of his ownership thereof and satisfactory
indemnity and complying with such other reasonable regulations and conditions as the County or the
Registrar may prescribe and paying such expenses as the County and the Registrar may incur. All Series
2020 Bonds so surrendered shall be cancelled by the Registrar. If any of the Series 2020 Bonds shall have
matured or be about to mature, instead of issuing a substitute Series 2020 Bond, the County may pay the
same or cause the Series 2020 Bond to be paid, upon being indemnified as aforesaid, and if such Series
2020 Bonds be lost, stolen or destroyed, without surrender thereof.
Any such duplicate Series 2020 Bonds issued pursuant to the Resolution shall constitute original,
additional contractual obligations on the part of the County whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed
Series 2020 Bond be at any time found by anyone, and such duplicate Series 2020 Bond shall be entitled to
equal and proportionate benefits and rights to the same extent as all other Series 2020 Bonds issued
pursuant to the Resolution. d

SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2020 BONDS
General
During such time as any of the Series 2020 Bonds are outstanding under the Resolution or any
amounts due under the Resolution or with respect to the Series 2020 Bonds remain unpaid or
outstanding, the County has covenanted and agreed to appropriate in its annual budget, by amendment,
if necessary, from Non -Ad Valorem Revenues amounts sufficient to (A) pay principal of and interest on
the Series 2020 Bonds when due, and (B) pay all required deposits to the 2020A Rebate Fund pursuant to
the Resolution.
"Non -Ad Valorem Revenues" means all General Fund Revenues and MSTD Revenues, other than
m
�L
revenues generated from ad valorem taxation on real or personal property, and all Impact Fee Proceeds,
but only to the extent they are legally available to make the payments required in the Resolution.
3
"General Fund Revenues" means total revenues of the County derived from any source whatsoever and
Q
that are allocated to and accounted for in the General Fund as shown in the Annual Audit. "General
G
N
Fund" means the "General Fund" of the County as described and identified in the Annual Audit. "Impact
N
Fee Proceeds" means the proceeds of all impact fees levied by the County that are allocated to and
accounted for in the Capital Projects Funds as shown in the Annual Audit. "Capital Projects Funds"co
`m
means the "Capital Projects Funds" of the County as described and identified in the Annual Audit.
"MSTD Revenues" means all revenues of the County derived from any source whatsoever and that are
allocated to and accounted for in the Unincorporated Area Municipal Services Taxing District ("MSTD")
Fund as shown in the Annual Audit. "Unincorporated Area Municipal Services Taxing District Fund"
means the "Unincorporated Area Municipal Services Taxing District ("MSTD") Fund" of the "Special
d
Revenue Funds" of the County as such Funds are described and identified in the Annual Audit.
d
Such covenant and agreement on the part of the County to budget and appropriate such amounts
of Non -Ad Valorem Revenues shall be cumulative to the extent not paid, and shall continue until such
Non -Ad Valorem Revenues or other legally available funds in amounts sufficient to make all such
required payments shall have been budgeted, appropriated and actually paid. Notwithstanding the
foregoing covenant of the County, the County does not covenant to maintain any services or programs,
now provided or maintained by the County, which generate Non -Ad Valorem Revenues.
Such covenant to budget and appropriate does not create any lien upon or pledge of such Non -
Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it preclude the County from pledging in the future its Non -Ad Valorem
Revenues, nor does it require the County to levy and collect any particular Non -Ad Valorem Revenues,
nor does it give the Series 2020 Bondholders a prior claim on the Non -Ad Valorem Revenues as opposed
to claims of general creditors of the County. Such covenant to appropriate Non -Ad Valorem Revenues is
subject in all respects to the payment of obligations secured by a pledge of such Non -Ad Valorem
Revenues heretofore or hereafter entered into (including the payment of debt service on bonds and other
debt instruments). However, the covenant to budget and appropriate for the purposes and in the manner
stated in the Resolution shall have the effect of making available for the payment of the Series 2020
Bonds, in the manner described in the Resolution, Non -Ad Valorem Revenues and placing on the County
a positive duty to appropriate and budget, by amendment, if necessary, amounts sufficient to meet its
25694/009/01626500.DOCv3
10 Packet Pg. 339
11.B.5
obligations under the Resolution; subject, however, in all respects to the restrictions of Section 129.07,
Florida Statutes, which generally provide that the governing body of each county may only make
appropriations for each fiscal year which, in any one year, shall not exceed the amount to be received
from taxation or other revenue sources; and subject, further, to the payment of services and programs
which are for essential public purposes affecting the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the
County or which are legally mandated by applicable law.
The County has covenanted and agreed to transfer to the Paying Agent for the Series 2020 Bonds,
solely from funds budgeted and appropriated as described in the Resolution, on or prior to the date
designated for payment of any principal of or interest on the Series 2020 Bonds, sufficient moneys to pay
such principal or interest. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall utilize such moneys for payment of the
principal and interest on the Series 2020 Bonds when due.
THE SERIES 2020 BONDS SHALL NOT BE OR CONSTITUTE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS OR
INDEBTEDNESS OF THE COUNTY AS "BONDS" WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY
CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY PROVISION, BUT SHALL BE SPECIAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE
COUNTY, PAYABLE SOLELY FROM AMOUNTS BUDGETED AND APPROPRIATED BY THE
COUNTY FROM NON -AD VALOREM REVENUES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESOLUTION. NO
HOLDER OF ANY SERIES 2020 BOND SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO COMPEL THE EXERCISE OF
ANY AD VALOREM TAXING POWER TO PAY SUCH SERIES 2020 BOND, OR BE ENTITLED TO
PAYMENT OF SUCH SERIES 2020 BOND FROM ANY MONEYS OF THE COUNTY EXCEPT FROM
THE NON -AD VALOREM REVENUES IN THE MANNER AND TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED IN THE
RESOLUTION.
No Reserve for the Series 2020 Bonds i
M
The County has determined not to fund a debt service reserve fund or account to further secure
the Series 2020 Bonds. aa)
Anti -Dilution Test
During such time as any Series 2020 Bonds are Outstanding under the Resolution, the County has
agreed and covenanted with the Series 2020 Bondholders that upon the issuance of any subsequent Debt
(as hereinafter defined) (1) Non -Ad Valorem Revenues shall cover projected Maximum Annual Debt
Service on the Series 2020 Bonds and maximum annual debt service on Debt by at least 1.5x; and (2)
projected Maximum Annual Debt Service on the Series 2020 Bonds and maximum annual debt service for
all Debt will not exceed 20% of the aggregate of General Fund Revenues, MSTD Revenues and Impact Fee
Proceeds exclusive of (a) ad valorem tax revenues restricted to payment of debt service on any Debt and
(b) any proceeds of the Series 2020 Bonds or Debt. The calculations required by (1) and (2) above shall be
determined using the average of actual Non -Ad Valorem Revenues, General Fund Revenues, MSTD
Revenues and Impact Fee Proceeds for the prior two Fiscal Years based on the County's Annual Audits.
For purposes of the calculations required by clauses (1) and (2) above, Maximum Annual Debt Service on
the Series 2020 Bonds and maximum annual debt service on Debt shall be done on an aggregate basis
whereby the annual debt service for each is combined and the overall maximum is determined.
For the purposes of the covenants contained in the preceding paragraph, maximum annual debt
service on Debt means, with respect to Debt that bears interest at a fixed interest rate, the actual
maximum annual debt service, and, with respect to Debt which bears interest at a variable interest rate,
25694/009/01626500.DOCv3
11 Packet Pg. 340
11.B.5
maximum annual debt service on such Debt shall be determined assuming that interest accrues on such
Debt at the current 'Bond Buyer Revenue Bond Index" as published in The Bond Buyer no more than two
weeks prior to any such calculation; provided, however, if any Debt, whether bearing interest at a fixed
or variable interest rate, constitutes Balloon Indebtedness, as defined below, maximum annual debt
service on such Debt shall be determined assuming such Debt is amortized over 20 years from its original
date of issuance on an approximately level debt service basis. For purposes of this paragraph, 'Balloon
Indebtedness" means Debt, 25% or more of the original principal of which matures during any one Fiscal
Year. In addition, with respect to debt service on any Debt which is subject to a Qualified Hedge
Agreement, interest on such Debt during the term of such Qualified Hedge Agreement shall be deemed
to be the Hedge Payments coming due during such period of time. With respect to debt service on any
Debt with respect to which the County elects to receive or is otherwise entitled to receive direct subsidy
payments from the United States Department of Treasury, when determining the interest on such Debt
for any particular interest payment date the amount of the corresponding subsidy payment shall be
deducted from the amount of interest which is due and payable with respect to such Debt on the interest
payment date, but only to the extent that the County reasonably believes that it will be in receipt of such
subsidy payment on or prior to such interest payment date.
"Debt" means at any date (without duplication) all of the following to the extent that they are
secured by or payable in whole or in part from any Non -Ad Valorem Revenues (A) all obligations of the
`°
Q
County for borrowed money or evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments; (B)
G
N
all obligations of the County to pay the deferred purchase price of property or services, except trade
CD
N
accounts payable under normal trade terms and which arise in the ordinary course of business; (C) all
obligations of the County as lessee under capitalized leases; and (D) all indebtedness of other Persons toco
`m
the extent guaranteed by, or secured by, Non -Ad Valorem Revenues of the County; provided, however, if
with respect to any obligation contemplated in (A), (B), or (C) above, the County has covenanted to
budget and appropriate sufficient Non -Ad Valorem Revenues to satisfy such obligation but has not
secured such obligation with a lien on or pledge of any Non -Ad Valorem Revenues then, and with
respect to any obligation contemplated in (D) above, such obligation shall not be considered 'Debt" for
d
purposes of the Resolution unless the County has actually used Non -Ad Valorem Revenues to satisfy
such obligation during the immediately preceding Fiscal Year or reasonably expects to use Non -Ad
Valorem Revenues to satisfy such obligation in the current or immediately succeeding Fiscal Year. After
y
an obligation is considered 'Debt" as a result of the proviso set forth in the immediately preceding
sentence, it shall continue to be considered 'Debt" until the County has not used any Non -Ad Valorem
p
Revenues to satisfy such obligation for two consecutive Fiscal Years. �%
Real Property Account
The County covenanted and agreed in the Resolution to establish a special account, the "Collier
County, Florida Taxable Special Obligation Revenue Bonds, Series 2020B Real Property Account" (the
'Real Property Account"), which shall be used only for costs related to the purchase of the Real Estate.
The County may establish separate subaccounts within the Real Property Account. Moneys in the Real
Property Account, until applied in payment of any item of the costs of the purchase of the Real Property
in the manner hereinafter provided, shall be subject to a lien and charge in favor of the Holders of the
Series 2020B Bonds and for the further security of such Holders.
There shall be paid into the Real Property Account the amounts required to be so paid by the
provisions of the Resolution, and there may be paid into the Real Property Account, at the option of the

County may establish separate accounts within the Construction Account. Moneys in the Construction
Account, until applied in payment of any item of costs of the Series 2020A Project in the manner
hereinafter provided, shall be subject to a lien and charge in favor of the Holders of the Series 2020A
Bonds and for the further security of such Holders.
There shall be paid into the Construction Account the amounts required to be so paid by the
provisions of the Resolution and there may be paid into the Construction Account, at the option of the
County, any moneys received for or in connection with the Series 2020A Project by the County from any
other source.
The proceeds of insurance maintained pursuant to the Resolution against physical loss of or
damage to the Series 2020A Project, or of contractors' performance bonds with respect thereto pertaining
to the period of construction thereof, shall be deposited into the Construction Account.
Any moneys received by the County from the State or from the United States of America or any
agencies thereof for the purpose of financing part of the costs the Series 2020A Project shall be deposited

GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING NON -AD VALOREM REVENUES i
M
General
The County generally receives two primary sources of general governmental revenue: ad
valorem taxes and non -ad valorem revenues. Ad valorem taxes may not be pledged for the payment of
debt obligations of the County maturing more than twelve months from the date of issuance thereof
without approval of the electorate of the County. The ad valorem tax revenues of the County are not
pledged as security for the payment of the Series 2020 Bonds and the County is not obligated to budget
and appropriate ad valorem tax revenues for the payment of the Series 2020 Bonds.
Non -ad valorem revenues of the County may be pledged, subject to certain limitations disclosed
herein, for the payment of debt obligations of the County. Such non -ad valorem revenues include a
broad category of revenues, including, but not limited to, revenues received from the State, investment
income and income produced from certain services and facilities of the County, as described below.
Series 2020 Bondholders do not have a lien on any specific non -ad valorem revenues of the County.
As more fully described above under "SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2020 BONDS," the County
has covenanted and agreed in the Resolution, subject to certain restrictions and limitations, to appropriate
in its annual budget, by amendment, if necessary, from Non -Ad Valorem Revenues amounts sufficient to
pay principal of and interest on the Series 2020 Bonds when due in the manner and to the extent
described in the Resolution. The holders of the Series 2020 Bonds do not have a lien on any specific Non -
Ad Valorem Revenues of the County and the County has outstanding certain other debt obligations
payable from a lien upon and pledge of certain of the Non -Ad Valorem Revenues of the County.
25694/009/01626500.DOCv3
14 Packet Pg. 343
11.B.5
The County is the recipient of certain non -ad valorem revenue sources, including but not limited
to, half -cent sales tax revenues and/or certain revenue sharing revenues that have been negatively
impacted by the effects of COVID-19. Travel restrictions and shelter in place orders have resulted in, and
will likely continue to result in, decreased tourism, travel and consumer spending, as more particularly
described below under "RISK FACTORS."
A large percentage of the revenues of the County, including ad valorem taxes and non -ad
valorem revenues, are deposited in the General Fund and the Unincorporated Area Municipal Services
Taxing District Fund. The General Fund is the largest operating fund of the County. It is used to account
for substantially all countywide activities and is supported principally by ad valorem taxes. The
Unincorporated Area Municipal Services Taxing District Fund accounts for municipal type services
provided in the unincorporated area of the County and is also supported primarily by ad valorem taxes.
See "CERTAIN FINANCIAL MATTERS - General Fund and Unincorporated Area Municipal Services
Taxing District Fund" herein. Furthermore, as described herein under "SECURITY FOR THE SERIES
2020 BONDS," the obligation of the County to budget and appropriate Non -Ad Valorem Revenues is
subject to a variety of factors, including without limitation the payment of services and programs which
are for essential public purposes affecting the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the County
or which are mandated by applicable law, and the obligation of the County to have a balanced budget.
The County's infrastructure sales surtax is not described herein and is not available to pay debt
service on the Series 2020 Bonds because it is not deposited into the funds described in the definition of
Non -Ad Valorem Revenues. See "SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2020 BONDS — General" and APPENDIX
B — Form of the Resolution" attached hereto.
The County is permitted by the Florida Constitution to levy ad valorem taxes at a rate of up to
$10 per $1,000 of assessed valuation for general governmental expenditures. The County's General Fund +,
ad valorem tax millage rate for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020 is $3.5645 per $1,000. The d
County's Unincorporated Area Municipal Services Taxing District Fund ad valorem tax millage rate for d
the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020 is $0.8069 per $1,000. The County is also permitted by the y
Florida Constitution to levy ad valorem taxes above the $10 per $1,000 limitation to pay debt service on W
general obligation long-term debt if approved by a voter referendum but does not currently do so. 2
The Florida Department of Financial Services ("FDFS") has developed, as part of the Uniform
Accounting System Manual's Chart of Accounts, six major categories of local government revenues:
taxes, intergovernmental revenues, licenses, permits and impact fees, charges for services, fines and
forfeitures and miscellaneous revenues. Using that organization, the following describes the major
sources of the County's Non -Ad Valorem Revenues:
Taxes
Local Communications Services Tax
Chapter 202, Florida Statutes (the "CSTA") authorizes counties in Florida to impose a local
communications services tax on the sale of communications services as defined in Section 202.11, Florida
Statutes. Pursuant to Sections 202.19 and 202.20, Florida Statutes, any sale of communications services
charged to a service address in the County is subject to the County's local communications services tax at
a rate of 2.10%.

The local communications services tax applies to the purchase of "communications services"
which originated or terminated within unincorporated Collier County, with certain exemptions described
below. "Communication services" under the CSTA are defined as the transmission, conveyance, or
routing of voice, data, audio, video, or any other information or signals, including cable services, to a
point, or between or among points, by or through any electronic, radio, satellite, cable, optical,
microwave, or other medium or method now in existence or hereafter devised, regardless of the protocol
used for such transmission or conveyance. The term does not include:
(a) Information services.
(b) Installation or maintenance of wiring or equipment on a customer's premises.
(c) The sale or rental of tangible personal property.
(d) The sale of advertising, including, but not limited to, directory advertising.
(e) Bad check charges.
(f) Late payment charges.
(g) Billing and collection services.
(h) Internet access service, electronic mail service, electronic bulletin board service, or similar
on-line services.
While such services have historically been taxed, if the charges for such services are not stated c
separately from the charges for communications services, on a customer's bill, providers now have the N
ability to exclude such services from the tax if they can be reasonably identified from the selling dealer's
books and records kept in the regular course of business. The dealer may support the allocation of
charges with books and records kept in the regular course of business covering the dealer's entire service
area, including territories outside of Florida. n
M
The sale of communications services to (i) the federal government, or any instrumentality or
agency thereof, or any entity that is exempt from state taxes under federal law, (ii) the State or any
county, municipality or political subdivision of the State when payment is made directly to the dealer by d
the governmental entity, and (iii) any home for the aged or educational institution (which includes state
tax -supported and nonprofit private schools, colleges and universities and nonprofit libraries, art M
galleries and museums, among others) or religious institutions (which include, but are not limited to,
organizations having an established physical place for worship at which nonprofit religious services and
activities are regularly conducted) that is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the 0
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), are exempt from the local communications c
services tax. P
The CSTA provides that, to the extent that a provider of communications services is required to
pay to a local taxing jurisdiction a tax, charge, or other fee under any franchise agreement or ordinance
with respect to the services or revenues that are also subject to the local communications services tax,
such provider is entitled to a credit against the amount of such local communications services tax payable
to the State in the amount of such tax, charge, or fee with respect to such service or revenues. The
amount of such credit is deducted from the amount that such local taxing jurisdiction is entitled to
receive under Section 202.18(3), Florida Statutes. However, the County does not impose any such fees or
charges on communications services providers.
Under the CSTA, local governments must work with the Federal Department of Revenue
("FDOR") to properly identify service addresses to each municipality and county. If a jurisdiction fails to
25694/009/01626500.DOCv3
16 Packet Pg. 345
11.B.5
provide the FDOR with accurate service address information, the local government risks losing tax
proceeds that it should properly receive. The County believes it has provided the FDOR with all
information that the FDOR has requested as of the date hereof and that such information is accurate.
Providers of communications services collect the local communications services tax and may
deduct 0.75% as a collection fee (or 0.25% in the case of providers who do not employ an enhanced zip
code database or a data base that is either supplied or certified by the FDOR). The communications
services providers remit the remaining proceeds to the FDOR for deposit into the CST Trust Fund. The
FDOR then makes monthly contributions from the CST Trust Fund to the appropriate local governments
after deducting up to 1% of the total revenues generated as an administrative fee.
The proceeds of the local communications services tax, less the FDOR's cost of administration
which may not exceed 1% of the total tax generated, are deposited in the Local Communications Services
Tax Clearing Trust Fund (the "CST Trust Fund") and distributed monthly to the appropriate jurisdiction.
The local communications services tax revenues received by the County are deposited into the County
General Fund and may be used for any public purpose. The revenues that are received by the County
from such communications services tax which derive from the CST Trust Fund created with the FDOR
pursuant to Section 202.193, Florida Statutes, may be pledged for the repayment of current or future
bonded indebtedness.
The amount of local communications services tax revenues received by the County is subject to
increase or decrease due to (i) increases or decreases in the dollar volume of taxable sales within the
County, (ii) legislative changes, and/or (iii) technological advances which could affect consumer
preferences.
T
The amount of the local communications services tax revenues collected within the County may M
be adversely affected by incorporation or annexation. Such incorporation or annexation would decrease
the number of addresses contained within the County. At this time, there are no incorporations or c
d
annexations anticipated within the County. B
Intergovernmental Revenues
All revenues received by a local unit from federal, state, and other local government sources in
the form of grants, shared revenues, and payments in lieu of taxes would be included in the
intergovernmental revenues category. The category is further classified into seven subcategories: federal
grants, federal payments in lieu of taxes ('PILOT'), state grants, state shared revenues, state PILOT, local
grants and local shared revenues. If a particular grant is funded from separate intergovernmental
sources, then the revenue is recorded proportionately. The largest component is the "Local Government
Half -Cent Sales Tax."
Local Government Half -Cent Sales Tax
The half -cent sales tax revenues consist of the amount of the Local Government Half -Cent Sales
Tax distributed to the County by the State of Florida (the "State") from the Local Government Half -Cent
Sales Tax Clearing Trust Fund to the County pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 218, Part VI, Florida
Statutes (the "Half -Cent Sales Tax Revenues").
25694/009/01626500.DOCv3

11.B.5
The State levies and collects a sales tax on, among other things, the sales price of each item or
article of tangible personal property sold at retail in the State, subject to certain exceptions and dealer
allowances. In 1982, the Florida Legislature created the Local Government Half -Cent Sales Tax Program
(the "Half -Cent Sales Tax Program") which distributes a portion of the sales tax revenue and money from
the State's General Revenue Fund to counties and municipalities that meet strict eligibility requirements.
In 1982, when the Half -Cent Sales Tax Program was created, the general rate of sales tax in the State was
increased from 4% to 5%, and one-half of the fifth cent was devoted to the Half -Cent Sales Tax Program,
thus giving rise to the name "Half -Cent Sales Tax." Although the amount of sales tax revenue deposited
into the Half -Cent Sales Tax Program is no longer one-half of the fifth cent of every dollar of the sales
price of an item subject to sales tax, the name "Half -Cent Sales Tax" has continued to be utilized.
Section 212.20, Florida Statutes, provides for the distribution of sales tax revenues collected by
the State of Florida and further provides for the distribution of a portion of sales tax revenues to the Half -
Cent Sales Tax Clearing Trust Fund (the "Half -Cent Sales Tax Trust Fund"), after providing for transfers
to the General Fund and the Ecosystem Management and Restoration Trust Fund. The proportion of
sales tax revenues deposited in the Half -Cent Sales Tax Trust Fund (the "Half -Cent Sales Tax revenues") is
8.814% of all state sales tax remitted to the State by a sales tax dealer located within a particular county.
Such amount deposited in the Half -Cent Sales Tax Trust Fund is earmarked for distribution to the
governing body of such county and each participating municipality within that county pursuant to a
distribution formula. The general rate of sales tax in the State is currently 6%.
As of October 1, 2001, the Half -Cent Sales Tax Trust Fund began receiving a portion of location m
communications services tax revenues pursuant to the CSTA. Accordingly, moneys distributed from the `m
co
Half -Cent Sales Tax Trust Fund now consist of funds derived from both general sales tax proceeds and
local communications services tax revenues required to be deposited into the Half -Cent Sales Tax Trust
Fund. The Half -Cent Sales Tax Revenues are distributed from the Half -Cent Sales Tax Trust Fund on a M
monthly basis to participating units of local government in accordance with Part VI, Chapter 218, Florida
Statutes (the "Sales Tax Act"). The Sales Tax Act permits the County to pledge its share of the Half -Cent E
Sales Tax for the payment of principal of and interest on any capital project. Florida law also allows
counties to impose a sales surtax of up to 1% to fund infrastructure improvements upon approval by a y
vote of the electors. The County has not imposed a 1% sales surtax.
To be eligible to participate in the Half -Cent Sales Tax Program, each municipality and county is
required to have met the Eligibility Requirements:
(i) reported its finances for its most recently completed fiscal year to the FDFS as required
by Florida law;
(ii) m de provisions for annual post audits of financial accounts in accordance with
provisions of law;
(iii) levied, as shown on its most recent financial report, ad valorem taxes, exclusive of taxes
levied for debt service or other special millages authorized by the voters, to produce the
revenue equivalent to a millage rate of three (3) mills on the dollar based upon 1973
taxable values or, in order to produce revenue equivalent to that which would otherwise
be produced by such three (3) mill ad valorem tax, to have received a remittance from the
county pursuant to a municipal services benefit unit, collected an occupational license

tax, utility tax, or ad valorem tax, or have received revenue from any combination of
those four sources;
(iv) certified that persons in its employ as law enforcement officers meet certain qualifications
for employment, and receive certain compensation;
(v) certified that persons in its employ as firefighters meet certain employment qualifications
and are eligible for certain compensation;
(vi) certified that each dependent special district that is budgeted separately from the general
budget of such county or municipality has met the provisions for annual post audit of its
financial accounts in accordance with law; and
(vii) certified to FDOR that it has complied with certain procedures regarding the
establishment of the ad valorem tax millage of the county or municipality as required by
law.
Although the Sales Tax Act does not impose any limitation on the number of years during which
a county or municipality may receive distributions of the Half -Cent Sales Tax revenues from the Half-
`°
Q
Cent Sales Tax Trust Fund, there may be amendments to the Sales Tax Act in subsequent years imposing
N
additional requirements of eligibility for counties and municipalities participating in the Half -Cent Sales
CD
N
Tax revenues, or the distribution formulas in Sections 212.20(6)(d) or 218.62, Florida Statutes, may be
revised. To be eligible to participate in the Half -Cent Sales Tax Trust Fund in future years, the Countyco
`m
must comply with the financial reporting and other requirements of the Sales Tax Act. Otherwise, the
County would lose its Half -Cent Sales Tax Trust Fund distributions for twelve (12) months following a
"determination of noncompliance" by FDOR. The County has always maintained eligibility to receive the
Sales Tax revenues.
v
Half -Cent Sales Tax revenues collected within a county and deposited in the Half -Cent Sales Tax
Trust Fund are distributed among such county and the eligible municipalities therein in accordance with
the following formula:

volume of taxable sales within the County, (iii) legislative changes relating to the sales tax, which may
include changes in the scope of taxable sales, changes in the tax rate and changes in amounts deposited
into the Trust Fund, and (iv) other factors which may be beyond the control of the County or the Series
2020 Bondholders, including but not limited to public health emergencies, the potential for increased use
of electronic commerce and other internet-related sales activity that could have a material adverse impact
upon the amounts collected by the State, deposited into the Trust Fund and then distributed to the
County.
In July, 2020, the County received a distribution of half -cent sales tax revenues from the State
relating to May, 2020 collections within the County. The amount of half -cent sales tax revenues received
by the County for the nine month period ending July, 2020 was $38,476,653 (unaudited), which when
compared to the same nine month period for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019 ($39,906,686)
reflects an approximate 3.6% decrease in collections. The table below reflects month by month collections
and percentage increase/decrease for that comparison period.

�l> There is a two month time lag between local economic collection activity and the distribution
from the State.
Therefore, for example, revenues reflected in the table above
as collections for the
month of October were actually
collected locally in
August and distributed to the County in
October.
See "RISK FACTORS" herein for more information about the impacts of COVID-19 on the
County and its receipt of half -cent sales tax revenues because of reduced retail sales.
In addition, the amounts deposited in the Trust Fund which are to be distributed to the County
will be affected by changes in the relative populations of the unincorporated and incorporated areas
within the County. Such relative populations are subject to change through normal increases and
decreases in population within the existing unincorporated and incorporated areas of the County and are
also subject to change by the annexation of previously unincorporated areas of the County by the
municipalities within the County or incorporations. Such annexations or incorporations would not only
increase the population of the incorporated areas but also would, in equal amount, decrease the
population of the unincorporated areas. Currently, the County is not aware of any potential
incorporations or annexations in the County.

State Revenue Sharing
A portion of the taxes levied and collected by the State is shared with local governments under
provisions of Chapter 218.215, Florida Statutes. To be eligible for State Revenue Sharing funds, a local
government must have satisfied the Eligibility Requirements.
Eligibility is retained if the local government has met eligibility requirements for the previous
three years, even if the local government reduces its millage or utility taxes because of the receipt of State
Revenue Sharing funds.
The amount of the State Revenue Sharing Trust Fund distributed to a county is calculated using a
formula consisting of the following equally weighted factors: county population, unincorporated county
population and county sales tax collections. A county's population factor means a county's population
divided by the total population of all eligible counties in the State. The unincorporated county
population factor means the county's unincorporated population divided by the total unincorporated
population of all eligible counties in the State. A county's sales tax collections factor means that county's
sales tax collections during the preceding year divided by the total sales tax collections during the same
period for all eligible counties in the State. Funds are wired monthly by FDOR.
Each eligible county is entitled to receive a minimum amount of State Revenue Sharing funds,QP
N
known as the "guaranteed entitlement" and the "second guaranteed entitlement," the first of which is
correlated to amounts received by such county from certain taxes on cigarettes, roads and intangible `m
co
property in the State fiscal year 1971-1972 and the second of which is correlated to the amount received
by such county in State fiscal year 1981-1982 from the then -existing tax on cigarettes and intangible
personal property, less the guaranteed entitlement. The funds remaining in the Revenue Sharing Trust
Fund after the distribution of the Guaranteed Entitlement and Second Guaranteed Entitlement are
referred to as "growth monies" that are further distributed to eligible counties (the "Growth Monies"). d
There are no restrictions on the use of the Guaranteed Entitlement, Second Guaranteed
Entitlement or the Growth Monies revenues, however there are restrictions on the amount of funds that
can be pledged for bond indebtedness. Counties are allowed to pledge the Guaranteed Entitlement and
the Second Guaranteed Entitlement revenues. Counties can assign, pledge, or set aside as a trust for the
payment of principal or interest on bonds or any other form of indebtedness an amount up to 50 percent
of the State Revenue Sharing funds (including Growth Monies) received by it in the prior State fiscal year.
To be eligible to participate in State Revenue Sharing in future years, the County must comply
with certain eligibility and reporting requirements. If the County fails to comply with such requirements,
FDOR may utilize the best information available to it, if such information is available, or take any
necessary action including disqualification, either partial or entire, and the County shall further waive
any right to challenge the determination of FDOR as to its disbursement, if any.
See "RISK FACTORS" herein for more information about the impacts of COVID-19 on the
County and its receipt of State Revenue Sharing funds.

Licenses, Permits and Impact Fees
These are revenues derived from the issuance of local professional, occupational, and other
licenses. Included in this category are impact fees. Pursuant to Ordinance No. 2001-13, as amended, such
impact fees include: County -Wide Library Impact Fees, Emergency Medical Services Impact Fees,
Government Facilities Impact Fees, Law Enforcement Impact Fees, Correctional Facilities Impact Fees,
Road Impact Fees, Fire Impact Fees and Parks Impact Fees. The Board established separate impact fee
trust funds for each of the County -Wide Library Impact Fees, Emergency Medical Services Impact Fees,
Government Facilities Impact Fees, Law Enforcement Impact Fees, Correctional Facilities Impact Fees,
Road Impact Fees, Fire Impact Fees and Parks Impact Fees. Each of these impact fee trust funds is
maintained separate and apart from each other and from all other funds of the County. The funds
deposited into each impact fee trust fund are to be used solely for the purpose of providing growth
necessitated improvements and additions to the specific public facility for which such impact fees are
received.
Impact fees are charged on new construction and must be used for growth related capital
expansion. The use of impact fees is limited under Florida law to (i) payment for expansion facilities or
(ii) paying debt service on obligations issued to acquire or construct or refinance expansion facilities to
the extent the debt service is attributable to expansion facilities. The use of impact fees is further limited
to facility expansions related to the purpose of the impact fee itself. For example, County -Wide Library
Impact Fees may only be used to pay debt service which relates to library facilities expansion. Under
Florida law, investment earnings with respect to impact fees are subject to the same restrictions on use as
the impact fees themselves. Impact fee revenues fluctuate with the amount of new construction or
development which occurs within the County. Therefore, there can be no assurances that such revenue
will not decrease or be eliminated altogether in the event that new construction, for whatever reason,
might decrease or cease altogether within the County.
The 2020A Project does not consist of growth related improvements and additions or law
enforcement, library, emergency medical services, parks, road or fire growth related improvement
additions. Therefore, Government Facilities Impact Fees, Correctional Facilities Impact Fees, Law
Enforcement Impact Fees, Library Impact Fees, Emergency Medical Services Impact Fees, Road Impact
Fees, Park Impact Fees and Fire Impact Fees are not legally available to pay any debt service on the Series
2020A Bonds.
Charges for Services
Revenues resulting from a local unit's charges for services are reflected in this category and
include those charges received from private individuals or other governmental units. The following
functional areas include such charges:
(i)
General government;
(ii)

(iii)
Physical environment;
(iv)

Fines and Forfeitures
Fines and forfeitures reflect those penalties and fines imposed for the commission of statutory
offenses, violation of lawful administrative rules and regulations, and for neglect of official duty.
Forfeitures include revenues resulting from parking and court fines.
Interest
This category includes interest earned on County investments. As the economy slowed, the
amount of interest received by the County has been negatively impacted.
Miscellaneous Revenues
This category includes a variety of revenues including:
(i)
Rents and royalties;
(ii)
Disposition of fixed assets;
(iii)

cis The use of impact fees is limited under Florida law to (1) payment for expansion facilities or (2) paying debt
service on obligations issued to acquire or construct or refinance expansion facilities to the extent the debt
service is attributable to expansion facilities. The use of impact fees is further limited to facility expansions
related to the purpose of the impact fee itself. For example, County -Wide Library Impact Fees may only be
used to pay debt service which relates to library facilities expansion. The 2020A Project does not consist of
growth related improvements and additions or law enforcement, library, emergency medical services,
parks, road or fire growth related improvement additions. Therefore, Government Facilities Impact Fees,
Correctional Facilities Impact Fees, Law Enforcement Impact Fees, Library Impact Fees, Emergency Medical
Services Impact Fees, Road Impact Fees, Park Impact Fees and Fire Impact Fees are not legally available to
pay any debt service on the Series 2020A Bonds. Under Florida law, investment earnings with respect to
impact fees are subject to the same restrictions on use as the impact fees themselves. Impact fees revenues
fluctuate with the amount of new construction or development which occurs within the County. Therefore,
there can be no assurances that such revenue will not decrease or be eliminated altogether in the event that
new construction, for whatever reason, might decrease or cease altogether within the County.
(2) Includes Alcoholic Beverage Licenses, Child Support Enforcement Program Grants, Insurance Agents
License Fees, Emergency Management Assistance Federal Grants, FEMA Reimbursements, Oil/Gas
Severance Tax, Federal Payment in Lieu of Taxes and Seminole Compact Revenue.
(3) Includes Radio Tower Leases, Facilities Leases, Scrap Sales, Cemetery Lot Fees, Scrap Sales, Insurance
Refunds and Private Contributions.
(4) Generally accepted accounting principles, as applied to governmental accounting, require that payments in
lieu of taxes that are reasonably equivalent in value to services received should be booked as interfund
transfers. Therefore, this revenue source is not separately stated in the County's audited financial
statements.

Since there is no lien on the Non -Ad Valorem Revenues in favor of the Holders of the Series 2020
Bonds, the exercise of remedies by the holders of the other obligations heretofore or hereafter issued
which are payable from Non -Ad Valorem Revenues may result in the payment of debt service on any
such obligations prior to the payment of debt service on the Series 2020 Bonds.

CERTAIN FINANCIAL MATTERS
Financial and Operating Plan (Budget) and Capital Improvement Planning Policy
The County's budget is adopted by the Board no later than September 301h of each year, and the
County's budget has consistently received the Government Finance Officers Association of the United
States and Canada ("GFOA") Certificate of Achievement for its budget presentations since the County
began participation in the program in 1988. The County utilizes the following procedures in establishing
the budgetary data reflected in its financial statements:
1. Prior to October 1st, the County prepares a proposed operating budget for the subsequent
fiscal year. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them.
2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
3. Prior to October 1st, the budget is legally adopted through passage of a resolution.
4. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the
year for the County funds.
5. Budgets for all County funds are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted
accounting principles.
6. Expenditures may not legally exceed budgeted appropriation at the fund level.
T
The County maintains a five-year Capital Improvement Program which is updated annually in M
connection with the adoption of the budget. Proposed projects are prioritized and funds are allocated to
projects according to their order of priority. The 5-year strategic capital plans which are part of the policy d
coordinate capital needs and the impact of those capital needs on operating budgets. E
Financial Reporting and Annual Audit
The GFOA has awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the
County for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report ("CAFR") in each year since the County began
participation in the program in 1986.
Florida law requires that an annual audit of each county's accounts and records be completed by a
firm of independent certified public accountants retained and paid for by such county. Clifton Larson
Allen LLP performed the audit for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. The audited financial
statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019 appear as APPENDIX C attached hereto.
General Fund and Unincorporated Area Municipal Services Taxing District Fund
The General Fund and the Unincorporated Area Municipal Services Taxing District Fund are the
general operating funds of the County. They account for all financial resources except for those required
to be accounted for in any other fund. The largest source of revenue in these funds are ad valorem
taxation. Ad valorem taxes have not been pledged to secure the Series 2020 Bonds which means that the
County cannot be compelled to levy ad valorem taxes in order to pay debt service on the Series 2020
25694/009/01626500.DOCv3
27 Packet Pg. 356
11.B.5
Bonds. Revenues deposited in the General Fund and the Unincorporated Area Municipal Services Taxing
District Fund do not directly correspond to the Non -Ad Valorem Revenues from which debt service on
the Series 2020 Bonds is payable as some General Fund Revenues and MSTD Revenues are not legally
available to pay debt service on the Series 2020 Bonds. Operations are removed from the General Fund
and the Unincorporated Area Municipal Services Taxing District Fund only when they are deemed to be
true enterprise operations.
Although the Series 2020 Bonds are not payable from ad valorem taxation, approximately 76.88%
of General Fund Revenues and MSTD Revenues which are collected by the County come from ad
valorem taxes. To the extent that the future collection of ad valorem tax revenues is adversely affected, a
larger portion of non -ad valorem revenues would be required to balance the budget and provide for the
payment of services and programs which are for essential public purposes affecting the health, safety and
welfare of the inhabitants of the County or which are mandated by applicable law.
The following chart shows information regarding the General Fund and the Unincorporated Area
Municipal Services Taxing District Fund (no Capital Projects Funds and no other funds in the Special
Revenue Funds are included in the chart) for the County's fiscal years ending September 30, 2015 through
and including September 30, 2019 (neither Impact Fee Proceeds or associated expenditures are included
in such chart):

While the table above is not intended to represent revenues of the County which would
necessarily be available to pay debt service on the Series 2020 Bonds, they are an indication of the relative
amounts of legally available non -ad valorem revenues of the County which may be available for the
payment of principal of and interest on the Series 2020 Bonds taking into account general governmental
expenditures. The ability of the County to appropriate Non -Ad Valorem Revenues in sufficient amounts
to pay the principal of and the interest on the Series 2020 Bonds is subject to a variety of factors, including
the County's responsibility to provide for the payment of services and programs which are for essential
public purposes affecting the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the County or which are
mandated by applicable law and the obligation of the County to have a balanced budget. No
representation is being made by the County that any particular non -ad valorem revenue source will be
available in future years, or if available, will be budgeted to pay debt service on the Series 2020 Bonds.
Continued consistent receipt of Non -Ad Valorem Revenues is dependent upon a variety of
CO
factors, including formulas specified under Florida law for the distribution of certain of such funds which
c
take into consideration the ratio of residents in unincorporated areas of the County to total County
N
residents. Aggressive annexation policies by municipalities in the County or greater growth in the
m
�L
incorporated areas of the County as compared to unincorporated areas could have an adverse effect on
certain non -ad valorem revenues. The amounts and availability of any of the Non -Ad Valorem Revenues
to the County are also subject to change, including reduction or elimination by change of State law or
`°
Q
changes in the facts or circumstances according to which certain of the Non -Ad Valorem Revenues are
N
allocated. In addition, the amount of certain of the Non -Ad Valorem Revenues collected by the County is
CD
N
directly related to the general economy of the County. Accordingly, adverse economic conditions could
have a material adverse effect on the amount of non -ad valorem revenues collected by the County. TheCO
`m
County may also specifically pledge certain of the Non -Ad Valorem Revenues or covenant to budget and
appropriate legally available non -ad valorem revenues of the County to future obligations that it issues.
In the case of a specific pledge, such Non -Ad Valorem Revenues would be required to be applied to such
obligations prior to paying the principal of and interest on the Series 2020 Bonds.
Classification of Local Government Expenditures
The County classifies its expenditures in accordance with the Uniform Accounting System
devised by the FDFS.
General government expenditures arise from operations of legislative, judicial and administrative
activities of the local government. These costs are related to operations of the Board, the County
Manager's office, comprehensive planning, financial operations, legal expenses, court services and other
general government services.
Public safety expenditures reflect all costs provided to achieve a satisfactory living environment
for the community and its citizens which include expenditures for the County's Sheriff and fire
department operations, as well as emergency disaster relief services and protective inspections.
Physical environment expenditures relate to the County's conservation and natural resource
management efforts.
Transportation expenditures generally reflect the costs of roads, bridges and streets.
25694/009/01626500.DOCv3
30 Packet Pg. 359
11.B.5
Economic environment expenditures include the costs of providing economic development
activities, housing opportunities and related programs, and other activities intended to raise the
economic status of the citizenry.
Human services expenditures reflect the County's activities related to the care treatment and
control of mental and physical illness and similar services.
Culture and recreation expenditures include the County's costs of operating parks and recreation
facilities and of offering special events, cultural services and programs and similar services.
Capital outlay expenditures include expenditures which result in the acquisition of, or addition to,
fixed assets such as buildings, land and roads.
Debt service expenditures are used to account for principal and interest payments on local
government debt.
RISK FACTORS
The future financial condition of the County could be affected adversely by, among other things,
public health emergencies, legislation, environmental and other regulatory actions, changes in demand
for services, economic conditions, demographic changes, hurricanes, droughts and litigation. In
particular, some of the possible changes in the future may include, but not be limited to, the following:
1. The County's financial results could be harmed by a national or localized outbreak of a n
highly contagious, epidemic or pandemic disease. Specifically, there can be no assurances that the spread M
of the novel strain of coronavirus called COVID-19, or other highly contagious or epidemic or pandemic
diseases, will not adversely impact any of the County's finances and/or its financial position, including d
revenues, expenses and liquidity. The impact of COVID-19 is expected to continue to have a negative E
financial impact on local, state and national economies, the long-term severity of which is unknown at
this time, in a manner that could adversely affect the amount of certain Non -Ad Valorem Revenue y
sources received by the County (such as half -cent sales tax revenues and/or certain revenue sharing
revenues) as well as the amount of property taxes received by the County. See "GENERAL
INFORMATION REGARDING NON -AD VALOREM REVENUES" herein for more information. ?+
The outbreak of COVID-19, a respiratory virus which was first reported in China, has since
spread to other countries, including the United States, and is considered a Public Health Emergency of
International Concern by the World Health Organization. The United States State Department and the
Center for Disease Control, as well as other governmental authorities, nations and airlines have issued
travel restrictions and warnings for a number of countries in Asia and Europe. The spread of COVID-19
has led to quarantine and other "social distancing" measures throughout the United States. These
measures have included recommendations and warnings to limit non -essential travel and promote
telecommuting. The State and local governments within the State, including the County, are heavily
reliant upon tourism, which may be negatively impacted by travel restrictions and the spread of COVID-
19. As a result of the spread of COVID-19, the Governor of Florida declared a state of emergency on
March 9, 2020 (which was extended on July 7, 2020 for an additional 60 days). On March 16, 2020, the
Board declared a state of emergency within the County. On March 27, 2020, the Governor issued an
executive order suspending vacation rentals operations which prohibited new reservations or the
25694/009/01626500.DOCv3
31 Packet Pg. 360
11.B.5
acceptance of new guests for check -in until May 21, 2020 when such restrictions were lifted. On April 1,
2020, the Governor issued a mandatory "safer at home" order for the entire State, which was effective
April 3, 2020 through April 30, 2020. On April 29, 2020, the Governor announced the first phase of
reopening businesses which began on May 4, 2020 and allowed for the reopening of certain businesses
(restaurants, retail stores, museums and libraries). On May 15, 2020, the Governor announced an
expanded phase 1 opening which allowed for gyms, fitness centers and studios to open and allowed
restaurants and retail businesses to increase seating/occupancy capacity from 25% to 50%. On May 22,
2020, the Governor announced that youth activities, including summer camps and organized sports, were
allowed to reopen. On June 3, 2020, the Governor announced most of the State would enter phase 2 of
reopening effective June 5, 2020 which allowed bars and pubs to operate at a seated capacity of 50%
inside and full seated capacity outside, movie theaters, bowling alleys and concert halls may open at 50%
capacity, pari-mutual facilities will reopen with strict health and safety guidelines, and restaurants, retail
and gyms continue to operate at 50% capacity; provided, however, that restaurants are able to serve at
bars with chairs properly socially distanced. On June 26, 2020, as a result of spikes in COVID-19 cases,
the Department of Business and Professional Regulation ordered all businesses that derive more than
50% of their revenue from alcohol sales must stop selling alcohol to customers on their premises.
Although, bars can still sell alcohol in to -go containers and restaurants that do not rely on alcohol sales
for a majority of their revenue can continue to serve alcohol to seated customers on site. On July 21, 2020,
the Board issued an Emergency/Executive Order which, among other things, mandates individuals wear
face coverings in public under certain circumstances (which expires on October 22, 2020 unless otherwise
extended).
The County has received funds from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act `m
from the State in the amount of approximately $16.8 million, with a total award of $67.2 million. co
Additionally, the County was awarded approximately $9.5 million by the Federal Transit Administration n
for programs related to COVID-19. M
While the effects of COVID-19 may be temporary, it has altered the behavior of businesses and
people in a manner resulting in negative impacts on global and local economies. The continued spread of
COVID-19, and measures taken to prevent or reduce it, are anticipated to adversely impact state, national
and global economic activities and, accordingly, adversely impact the financial condition and
performance of the State and the County, and the extent of that impact has been, and could continue to
be, material. Recently, stock markets in the U.S. and globally have seen significant volatility and declines
that have been attributed, at least in part, to the COVID-19 concerns. While the long-term impact on the
County is uncertain at this time, the County is monitoring the impact of COVID-19 and will address such
impacts, as necessary. See "GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING NON -AD VALOREM
REVENUES" and 'RATINGS" herein, " APPENDIX C — Collier County Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report For Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2019" attached hereto.
2. The State is naturally susceptible to the effects of extreme weather events and natural
disasters including floods, droughts, and hurricanes, which could result in negative economic impacts on
coastal communities such as the County. Such effects can be exacerbated by change in climate. The
occurrence of such extreme weather events could damage the local infrastructure that provides essential
services to the County. The economic impacts resulting from such extreme weather events could include
a loss of property values, a decline in revenue base, and escalated recovery costs. No assurance can be
given as to whether future extreme weather events will occur that could materially impair the financial
condition of the County. In order to address the ongoing challenges related to climate change, extreme
25694/009/01626500.DOCv3
32 Packet Pg. 361
11.B.5
weather events, sea level rise, etc., Collier County is leading or participating in multiple efforts including,
but not limited to:
• Partnership in ongoing NOAA study, specific to Collier County, providing scenario
modeling and end -user decision tools related to sea -level rise and storm surge and study
of potential natural features that may serve as enhanced protective features against the
same threats.
• Partnership with the Army Corp. of Engineers on a long-term Coastal Resilience
Program for Collier County, including beaches, dunes, back bays, etc. with
recommendations on both natural and engineered protective solutions.
• Partnership with the South Florida Water Management District to model and survey
critical natural areas downstream of the managed stormwater systems to understand
functionality, challenges, need for maintenance, etc. as these areas serve as critical
stormwater conveyances and outfalls.
• Development of a Stormwater structure automation program, starting with stormwater
structures at the freshwater/saltwater interface in order to provide better flood protection
and manage stormwater in combination with storm events, higher than average tides,
etc.
• Installation of additional infrastructure components to address tidal backflow in low-
lying areas.
T
• Enhanced funding for the maintenance of critical stormwater infrastructure.
M
T
• Update of the adopted rate of rise (seal level rise) calculation used for planning purposes
through the Floodplain Management Plan. c
• Accommodations for sea level rise projections in all capital project planning and design.
• Development of plan for completion of Vulnerability Assessment tasks and moving
forward with Adaptation Planning.
3. The County, like many other governmental entities, relies on a technology environment to
conduct its operations. As such, it may face multiple cybersecurity threats including but not limited to,
hacking, viruses, malware and other attacks on computer or other sensitive digital systems and networks.
In order to protect data the County currently has $10 million of cyber liability coverage that provides for
recoveries in the event of a data breach, virus or other cyberattack. Other coverages included within the
policy are security breach notification and remediation expenses, crisis management services expenses,
extortion expenses, computer fraud, reputational harm and social engineering. In addition, the Collier
County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptrollers' ("Clerk") agency has $5 million of cyber liability
coverage with the same lines of coverage that the County maintains. Both the County and the Clerk
agencies require staff training in the area of cyberattack and data security in order to maintain employee
access to their respective networks.

General Information. Substantially all full-time employees of the County are eligible to
participate in the FRS. The FRS is a cost -sharing multiple -employer public -employee retirement system
with two primary plans — the FRS defined benefit pension plan (the "FRS Pension Plan") and the FRS
defined contribution plan (the "FRS Investment Plan"). The FRS Pension Plan was created in Chapter 121,
Florida Statutes, to provide a defined benefit pension plan for participating public employees.
Florida Retirement System Pension Plan

N
organizations, although optional, is generally irrevocable after election to participate is made. Members
m
hired into certain positions may be eligible to withdraw from the FRS altogether or elect to participate in

Beginning July 1, 2001 through June 30, 2011, the FRS Pension Plan provided for vesting of
benefits after six years of creditable service for members initially enrolled during this period. Members
not actively working in a position covered by the FRS Pension Plan on July 1, 2001, must return to
covered employment for up to one work year to be eligible to vest with less service than was required
under the law in effect before July 1, 2001. Members initially enrolled on or after July 1, 2001 through
June 30, 2011, vest after six years of service. Members initially enrolled on or after July 1, 2011, vest after
eight years of creditable service. Members are eligible for normal retirement when they have met the
requirements listed below. Early retirement may be taken any time after vesting within 20 years of
normal retirement age; however, there is a 5% benefit reduction for each year prior to the normal
retirement age.
• Regular Class, SMSC, and EOC Members - For members initially enrolled in the FRS Pension
Plan before July 1, 2011, six or more years of creditable service and age 62, or the age after completing
six years of creditable service if after age 62. Thirty years of creditable service regardless of age before
age 62. For members initially enrolled in the FRS Pension Plan on or after July 1, 2011, eight or more
years of creditable service and age 65, or the age after completing eight years of creditable service if
after age 65. Thirty-three years of creditable service regardless of age before age 65.
• Special Risk Class and Special Risk Administrative Support Class Members - For members initially Fa
enrolled in the FRS Pension Plan before July 1, 2011, six or more years of Special Risk Class service and c
age 55, or the age after completing six years of Special Risk Class service if after age 55. Twenty-five N
years of special risk service regardless of age before age 55. A total of 25 years of service including
special risk service and up to four years of active duty wartime service and age 52. Without six years of
Special Risk Class service, members of the Special Risk Administrative Support Class must meet the
requirements of the Regular Class. For members initially enrolled in the FRS Pension Plan on or after n
July 1, 2011, eight or more years of Special Risk Class service and age 60, or the age after completing M
eight years of Special Risk Class service if after age 60. Thirty years of special risk service regardless of
age before age 60. Without eight years of Special Risk Class service, members of the Special Risk
Administrative Support Class must meet the requirements of the Regular Class. E
Benefits. Benefits under the FRS Pension Plan are computed on the basis of age, average final
compensation, creditable years of service, and accrual value by membership class. Members are also
eligible for in -line -of -duty or regular disability and survivors' benefits. Pension benefits of retirees and
annuitants are increased each July 1 by a cost -of -living adjustment. If the member is initially enrolled in
the FRS Pension Plan before July 1, 2011, and all service credit was accrued before July 1, 2011, the annual
cost -of -living adjustment is 3% per year. If the member is initially enrolled before July 1, 2011, and has
service credit on or after July 1, 2011, there is an individually calculated cost -of -living adjustment. The
annual cost -of -living adjustment is a proportion of 3% determined by dividing the sum of the pre -July
2011 service credit by the total service credit at retirement multiplied by 3%. FRS Pension Plan members
initially enrolled on or after July 1, 2011, will not have a cost -of -living adjustment after retirement.
The Deferred Retirement Option Program ("DROP") became effective July 1, 1998, subject to
provisions of Section 121.091(13), Florida Statutes. FRS Pension Plan members who reach normal
retirement are eligible to defer receipt of monthly benefit payments while continuing employment with
an FRS employer. An employee may participate in the DROP for a maximum of 60 months. Authorized
instructional personnel employed with a district school board, the Florida School for the Deaf and the
Blind or a developmental research school of a state university may be allowed to extend their DROP
participation for up to an additional 36 months beyond their initial 60-month participation period.

11.B.5
Monthly retirement benefits remain in the FRS Trust Fund during DROP participation and accrue
interest. As of June 30, 2019, the FRS Trust Fund held $2,542,917,693 in accumulated benefits for 33,490
DROP participants. Of these 33,490 DROP participants, 31,749 were active in the DROP with balances
totaling $2,277,211,830. The remaining participants were no longer active in the DROP and had balances
totaling $265,705,863 to be processed after June 30, 2019.
Administration. The Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement administers
the FRS Pension Plan. The State Board of Administration (the "SBA") invests the assets of the FRS
Pension Plan held in the FRS Trust Fund. Costs of administering the FRS Pension Plan are funded from
earnings on investments of the FRS Trust Fund. Reporting of the FRS Pension Plan is on the accrual basis
of accounting. Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when the obligation
is incurred.
Contributions. All participating employers must comply with statutory contribution
requirements. Section 121.031(3), Florida Statutes, requires an annual actuarial valuation of the FRS
Pension Plan, which is provided to the Legislature as guidance for funding decisions. Employer and
employee contribution rates are established in Section 121.71, Florida Statutes. Employer contribution
rates under the uniform rate structure (a blending of both the FRS Pension Plan and FRS Investment Plan
rates) are recommended by the actuary but set by the Legislature. Statutes require that any unfunded
actuarial liability ("UAL") be amortized within 30 plan years. Pursuant to Section 121.031(3)(f), Florida
Statutes, any surplus amounts available to offset total retirement system costs are to be amortized over a
10-year rolling period on a level -dollar basis. The balance of legally required reserves for all defined
benefit pension plans at June 30, 2019, was $163,573,726,217. These funds were reserved to provide for
total current and future benefits, refunds, and administration of the FRS Pension Plan.

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions for the FRS Pension Plan. The total pension liability was
determined by an actuarial valuation as of the valuation date of July 1, 2019, calculated based on the
discount rate and actuarial assumptions below:
June 30, 2018 June 30, 2019
Discount rate 7.00% 6.90%
Long-term expected rate of return, net of investment expense 7.00% 6.90%

Annual Financial Report for Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2019.
The plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit
payments of current active and inactive employees in determining the projected depletion date.
Therefore, the discount rate for calculating the total pension liability is equal to the long-term expected
rate of return.
The actuarial assumptions used to determine the total pension liability as of June 30, 2019, were
based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period July 1, 2013 - June 30, 2018.

Retiree Health Insurance Subsidygram
The HIS Program is a cost -sharing multiple -employer defined benefit pension plan established
under Section 112.363, Florida Statutes. The benefit is a monthly payment to assist retirees of state -
administered retirement systems in paying their health insurance costs and is administered by the
Division of Retirement within the Department of Management Services. For the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2019, eligible retirees and beneficiaries received a monthly HIS payment equal to the number of
years of creditable service completed at the time of retirement multiplied by $5. The payments are at
least $30 but not more than $150 per month, pursuant to Section 112.363, Florida Statutes. To be eligible
to receive a HIS benefit, a retiree under a state -administered retirement system must provide proof of
health insurance coverage, which can include Medicare.
The HIS Program is funded by required contributions from FRS participating employers as set by
the Legislature. Employer contributions are a percentage of gross compensation for all active FRS
members. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, the contribution rate was 1.66% of payroll pursuant to
Section 112.363, Florida Statutes. HIS contributions are deposited in a separate trust fund from which
HIS payments are authorized. HIS benefits are not guaranteed and are subject to annual legislative
appropriation. In the event the legislative appropriation or available funds fail to provide full subsidy
benefits to all participants, the legislature may reduce or cancel HIS payments.

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions for the HIS. The total pension liability was determined by
an actuarial valuation as of the valuation date, calculated based on the discount rate and actuarial
assumptions below, and then was projected to the measurement date. Any significant changes during
this period have been reflected as prescribed by GASB 67. The same demographic and economic
assumptions that were used in the Florida Retirement System Actuarial Valuation as of July 1, 2019
("funding valuation") were used for the HIS Program, unless otherwise noted. In a given membership

In general, the discount rate for calculating the total pension liability under GASB 67 is equal to
the single rate equivalent to discounting at the long-term expected rate of return for benefit payments
prior to the projected depletion date. Because the HIS benefit is essentially funded on a pay-as-you-go
basis, the depletion date is considered to be immediate, and the single equivalent discount rate is equal to
the municipal bond rate selected by the plan sponsor. The discount rate used in the 2019 valuation was
updated from 3.87% to 3.50%, reflecting the change in the Bond Buyer General Obligation 20-Year Bond
Municipal Bond Index as of June 30, 2019.
The actuarial assumptions used to determine the total pension liability as of June 30, 2019, were

FRS Investment Plan
The SBA administers the defined contribution plan officially titled the FRS Investment Plan. The
Florida Legislature establishes and amends the benefit terms of the plan. Retirement benefits are based
upon the value of the member's account upon retirement. The FRS Investment Plan provides vesting
after one year of service regardless of membership class. If an accumulated benefit obligation for service
credit originally earned under the FRS Pension Plan is transferred to the FRS Investment Plan, the years
of service required for vesting under the FRS Pension Plan (including the service credit represented by
the transferred funds) is required to be vested for these funds and the earnings on the funds. The
employer pays a contribution as a percentage of salary that is deposited into the individual member's
account. Effective July 1, 2011, there is a mandatory employee contribution of 3.00%. The FRS
Investment Plan member directs the investment from the options offered under the plan. Costs of
administering the plan, including the FRS Financial Guidance Program, are funded through an employer
assessment of payroll and by forfeited benefits of plan members. After termination and applying to
receive benefits, the member may rollover vested funds to another qualified plan, structure a periodic
payment under the FRS Investment Plan, receive a lump -sum distribution, or leave the funds invested for
future distribution. Disability coverage is provided; the employer pays an employer contribution to fund
the disability benefit which is deposited in the FRS Trust Fund. The member may either transfer the
account balance to the FRS Pension Plan when approved for disability retirement to receive guaranteed
lifetime monthly benefits under the FRS Pension Plan, or remain in the FRS Investment Plan and rely
upon that account balance for retirement income.

Pensions by State and Local Governmental Employers", which was subsequently amended by GASB
No. 71, "Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date" (collectively, E
"GASB No. 68/71"), which was effective for the County's fiscal year ended September 30, 2016. As a
participating employer, the County implemented GASB No. 68/71, which requires an employer y
participating in a cost -sharing multiple -employer defined benefit pension plans to report the employer's W
proportionate share of the net pension liabilities of the defined benefit pension plans. The greatest impact
of GASB No. 68/71 to the County is the inclusion of the County's proportionate share of the FRS Net p
Pension Liability (the "County's Net Pension Liability"), which reduced the County's Unrestricted Net �+
Position and Total Net Position. Additionally, pension expense is no longer equal to pension c
contributions made, but instead is equal to the change in net pension liability from year to year, with
adjustments for deferred amounts. The County is also now required to include more extensive footnote a
disclosures and supplementary schedules. All of these decreases are accrual based accounting changes, o
and do not represent decreases in cash or liquidity positions. B
Multiple Employer Defined Benefit Retirement Plan
As provided by Chapters 121 and 112, Florida Statutes, the FRS provides two cost -sharing,
multiple -employer defined benefit plans administered by the Florida Department of Management
Services, Division of Retirement, including the FRS Pension Plan and HIS. Under Section 121.4501,
Florida Statutes, the FRS also provides a defined contribution plan FRS Investment Plan alternative to the
FRS Pension Plan, which is administered by the SBA. As a general rule, membership in the FRS is

government, district school board, state university, community college, or a participating city or special
district within the State of Florida. The FRS provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost -of -
living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. Benefits are established by

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and
assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include
assumptions about future employment, mortality and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined
regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject
to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made
about the future.
Calculations for financial reporting purposes are based on the benefits provided under terms of
the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members in effect at the time of each valuation and
on the pattern of sharing of costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The projection of
benefits for financial reporting purposes does not explicitly incorporate the potential effects of legal or
contractual funding limitations on the pattern of cost sharing between the employer and plan members in
the future. Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term perspective. Consistent with that perspective,
actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of
short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets.
The actuarial methods are:

LITIGATION
There is no pending or, to the knowledge of the County, any threatened litigation against the
County of any nature whatsoever which in any way questions or affects the validity of the Series 2020
Bonds, or any proceedings or transactions relating to their issuance, sale, execution, or delivery, or the
adoption of the Resolution, or the covenant to budget and appropriate Non -Ad Valorem Revenues in the
manner and to the extent described herein and in the Resolution. Neither the creation, organization or
existence, nor the title of the present members of the Board, or other officers of the County is being
contested.

financial condition of the County, but may, in the aggregate, have a material impact thereon. In the
opinion of the County Attorney, however, the County will either successfully defend such actions or
otherwise resolve such matters without any material adverse consequences on the financial condition of

DISCLOSURE REQUIRED BY FLORIDA BLUE SKY REGULATIONS
Pursuant to Section 517.051, Florida Statutes, as amended, no person may directly or indirectlyQP
N
offer or sell securities of the County except by an offering circular containing full and fair disclosure of all
defaults as to principal or interest on its obligations since December 31, 1975, as provided by rule of the
`m
Office of Financial Regulation within the Florida Financial Services Commission (the "FFSC"). Pursuant
co
to administrative rulemaking, the FFSC has required the disclosure of the amounts and types of defaults,
any legal proceedings resulting from such defaults, whether a trustee or receiver has been appointed over
M
the assets of the County, and certain additional financial information, unless the County believes in good
faith that such information would not be considered material by a reasonable investor. The County is not
d
and has not been in default on any bond issued since December 31, 1975 that would be considered
d
material by a reasonable investor in the Series 2020 Bonds.
M
The County has not undertaken an independent review or investigation of securities for which it
has served as conduit issuer. The County does not believe that any information about any default on
such securities is appropriate and would be considered material by a reasonable investor in the Series
2020 Bonds because the County would not have been obligated to pay the debt service on any such
securities except from payments made to it by the private companies on whose behalf such securities
were issued and no funds of the County would have been pledged or used to pay such securities or the
interest thereon.

subsequently to the issuance of the Series 2020A Bonds with certain requirements of the Code, including
but not limited to requirements regarding the use, expenditure and investment of Series 2020A Bond
proceeds and the timely payment of certain investment earnings to the Treasury of the United States, may
cause interest on the Series 2020A Bonds to become includable in gross income for federal income tax
purposes retroactive to their date of issuance. The County has covenanted in the Resolution to comply
with all provisions of the Code necessary to, among other things, maintain the exclusion from gross
income of interest on the Series 2020A Bonds for purposes of federal income taxation. In rendering its
opinion, Bond Counsel has assumed continuing compliance with such covenants.
Internal Revenue Code of 1986
The Code contains a number of provisions that apply to the Series 2020A Bonds, including,
among other things, restrictions relating to the use of investment of the proceeds of the Series 2020A
Bonds and the payment of certain arbitrage earnings in excess of the "yield" on the Series 2020A Bonds to
the Treasury of the United States. Noncompliance with such provisions may result in interest on the
Series 2020A Bonds being included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to their
date of issue.
Collateral Tax Consequences
Except as described above, Bond Counsel will express no opinion regarding the federal income `m
co
tax consequences resulting from the ownership of, receipt or accrual of interest on, or disposition of, the
Series 2020A Bonds. Prospective purchasers of the Series 2020A Bonds should be aware that the
ownership of the Series 2020A Bonds may result in other collateral federal tax consequences. For M
example, ownership of the Series 2020A Bonds may result in collateral tax consequences to various types
of corporations relating to (1) denial of interest deduction to purchase or carry such Series 2020A Bonds, E
(2) the branch profits tax, and (3) the inclusion of interest on the Series 2020A Bonds in passive income for
certain Subchapter S corporations. In addition, the interest on the Series 2020A Bonds may be included in y
gross income by recipients of certain Social Security and Railroad Retirement benefits.
PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP, SALE OR DISPOSITION OF THE SERIES 2020A BONDS AND THE
RECEIPT OR ACCRUAL OF THE INTEREST THEREON MAY HAVE ADVERSE FEDERAL TAX
CONSEQUENCES FOR CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL AND CORPORATE BONDHOLDERS, INCLUDING,
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE CONSEQUENCES DESCRIBED ABOVE. PROSPECTIVE SERIES 2020A
BONDHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX SPECIALISTS FOR INFORMATION IN
THAT REGARD.
Other Tax Matters
Interest on the Series 2020A Bonds may be subject to state or local income taxation under
applicable state or local laws in other jurisdictions. Purchasers of the Series 2020A Bonds should consult
their tax advisors as to the income tax status of interest on the Series 2020A Bonds in their particular state
or local jurisdictions.
During recent years legislative proposals have been introduced in Congress, and in some cases
enacted, that altered certain federal tax consequences resulting from the ownership of obligations that are
25694/009/01626500.DOCv3
57 Packet Pg. 386
11.B.5
similar to the Series 2020A Bonds. In some cases these proposals have contained provisions that altered
these consequences on a retroactive basis. Such alteration of federal tax consequences may have affected
the market value of obligations similar to the Series 2020A Bonds. From time to time, legislative
proposals are pending which could have an effect on both the federal tax consequences resulting from
ownership of the Series 2020A Bonds and their market value. No assurance can be given that additional
legislative proposals will not be introduced or enacted that would or might apply to, or have an adverse
effect upon, the Series 2020A Bonds.
Original Issue Discount
Certain of the Series 2020A Bonds (the "Discount Bonds") may be offered and sold to the public at
.5
an original issue discount, which is the excess of the principal amount of the Discount Bonds over the
a
initial offering price to the public, excluding bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations
op
acting in the capacity of underwriters or wholesalers, at which price a substantial amount of the Discount
c
Bonds of the same maturity was sold. Original issue discount represents interest which is excluded from
N
gross income for federal income tax purposes to the same extent as interest on the Discount Bonds.
m
�L
Original issue discount will accrue over the term of a Discount Bond at a constant interest rate
(n
compounded semi-annually. An initial purchaser who acquires a Discount Bond at the initial offering
price thereof to the public will be treated as receiving an amount of interest excludable from gross income
`°
Q
for federal income tax purposes equal to the original issue discount accruing during the period he holds
N
such Discount Bonds and will increase its adjusted basis in such Discount Bonds by the amount of such
N
accruing discount for purposes of determining taxable gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of such
Discount Bonds. The federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and prepayment, saleCn
`m
or other disposition of Discount Bonds which are not purchased in the initial offering at the initial
offering price may be determined according to rules which differ from those above. Owners of Discount
Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the precise determination for federal income
tax purposes of interest accrued upon sale, prepayment or other disposition of such Discount Bonds and
with respect to the state and local tax consequences of owning and disposing of such Discount Bonds.
d
Original Issue Premium
Certain of the Series 2020A Bonds (the "Premium Bonds") may be offered and sold to the public
at a price in excess of the principal amount of such Premium Bonds, which excess constitutes to an initial
purchaser amortizable bond premium which is not deductible from gross income for Federal income tax
purposes. The amount of amortizable bond premium for a taxable year is determined actuarially on a
constant interest rate basis over the term of the Premium Bonds which term ends on the earlier of the
maturity or call date for each Premium Bond which minimizes the yield on said Premium Bonds to the
purchaser. For purposes of determining gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of a Premium Bond,
an initial purchaser who acquires such obligation in the initial offering to the public at the initial offering
price is required to decrease such purchaser's adjusted basis in such Premium Bond annually by the
amount of amortizable bond premium for the taxable year. The amortization of bond premium may be
taken into account as a reduction in the amount of tax-exempt income for purposes of determining
various other tax consequences of owning such Premium Bonds. The federal income tax consequences of
the purchase, ownership and sale or other disposition of Premium Bonds which are not purchased in the
initial offering at the initial offering price may be determined according to rules which differ from those
described above. Owners of the Premium Bonds are advised that they should consult with their own
advisors with respect to the state and local tax consequences of owning such Premium Bonds.

Series 2020B Bonds
In the opinion of Bond Counsel, the form of which is included as APPENDIX D-2 hereto, the
interest on the Series 2020B Bonds is not excludable from gross income of the owners thereof for federal
income tax purposes. Interest on the Series 2020B Bonds may also be subject to state or local income
taxation under applicable state or local laws. Purchasers of the Series 2020B Bonds should consult their
own tax advisors as to the income tax status of interest on the Series 2020B Bonds in their particular state
or local jurisdiction.
Except as provided above, Bond Counsel is not rendering any opinion regarding tax
consequences of owning the Series 2020B Bonds. There are several tax -related issues attendant with
ownership of the Series 2020B Bonds, including, but not limited to, treatment of original issue discount or
premium, if any, treatment of secondary market discount or premium, if any, reporting requirements and
possible application of backup withholding tax, determination of an owner's tax basis and gains or losses
in connection with sales, exchanges or other dispositions of the Series 2020B Bonds, foreign ownership,
ownership by certain employee benefit plans and other retirement plans and other issues. Many of the
rules related to these issues are complicated and purchasers of the Series 2020B Bonds should consult
their own tax advisors and professionals as to the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and
disposition of the Series 2020B Bonds under federal, state, local, foreign and other tax laws.

heads and elected officers submit their proposed expenditures beginning in April for compilation by the
Director no later than July 1 of each year and each submission is matched against available revenues. A
balanced, proposed budget is presented to the Board for review within 15 days of receipt of an assessed
value certification from the County's Property Appraiser which is due by July 1. A tentative budget is
thereupon adopted within 15 days.
Subsequent to public hearings, a final budget is adopted. The final budget for the fiscal year

for April, 2020, May, 2020, June, 2020, July, 2020 and August, 2020, respectively, which indicate that
unemployment within the United States has increased to approximately 14.7% for April, 2020 and
declined to approximately 13.3% for May, 2020, 11.1% for June, 2020, 10.2% for July, 2020 and 8.4% for
August, 2020. The increases in unemployment rates are reflective of the negative impacts of COVID-19
on employment. While the County does not have updated unemployment statistics as of the date hereof,
the May, 2020, June 2020, July, 2020, August, 2020 and September, 2020 reports from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics are likely indicative of the kind of increase the County may see in its unemployment rate as a
result of the negative impacts of COVID-19. See 'RISK FACTORS" in the body of this Official
Statement.

Mexico beaches, golf, tennis and other attractions. Everglades National Park, the United States only
subtropical National Park, located near Naples, comprises a substantial portion of the County. Collier -
Seminole Park and Corkscrew Swamp are also located nearby. Salt water fishing in the Gulf of Mexico,
as well as fresh water fishing, makes the many lakes and waterways popular vacation spots. The County
is regarded as one of the largest shelling areas in the United States.

(1) Basis for property tax rates is 1 mill per $1,000 of assessed value. Property is assessed as of
January 1 and taxes based on those assessments are levied according to the tax rate in effect that
tax year and become due on November 1. Therefore, assessments and tax levies applicable to a
certain tax year are collected in the fiscal year ending during the following calendar year.

Property Tax Reform
Millage Rollback Legislation. In 2007, the State Legislature adopted a property tax plan which
significantly impacted ad valorem tax collections for State local governments (the "Millage Rollback
Legislation"). One component of the Millage Rollback Legislation required counties, cities and special
districts to rollback their millage rates for the 2007-2008 Fiscal Year to a level that, with certain
adjustments and exceptions, would generate the same level of ad valorem tax revenue as in Fiscal Year
2006-2007; provided, however, depending upon the relative growth of each local government's own ad
valorem tax revenues from 2001 to 2006, such rolled back millage rates were determined after first
reducing 2006-2007 ad valorem tax revenues by zero to nine percent (0% to 9%). In addition, the Rollback
Legislation also limited how much the aggregate amount of ad valorem tax revenues may increase in
future fiscal years. A local government may override certain portions of these requirements by a
supermajority, and for certain requirements, a unanimous vote of its governing body.
Constitutional Exemptions. Certain exemptions from property taxes have been enacted.
Constitutional exemptions include, but are not limited to, property owned by a municipality and used
exclusively by it for municipal or public purposes, certain household goods and personal effects to the
value fixed by general law, certain locally approved community and economic development ad valorem
tax exemptions to new businesses and expansions of existing businesses, as defined by general law and
historic preservation ad valorem tax exemptions to owners of historic properties, $25,000 of the assessed
value of property subject to tangible personal property tax, the assessed value of solar devices or
25694/009/01626500.DOCv310
Packet Pg. 403
11.B.5
renewable energy source devices subject to tangible personal property tax may be exempt from ad
valorem taxation, subject to limitations provided by general law, and certain real property dedicated in
perpetuity for conservation purposes, including real property encumbered by perpetual conservation
easements or by other perpetual conservation protections, as defined by general law.
Limitation on Increase in Assessed Value of Property. The State Constitution limits the increases in
assessed just value of homestead property to the lower of (1) three percent of the assessment for the prior
year or (2) the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers, U.S. City
Average, all items 1967=100, or successor reports for the preceding calendar year as initially reported by
the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. The accumulated difference between
the assessed value and the just value is known as the "Save Our Homes Benefit." Further, any change of
ownership of homestead property or upon termination of homestead status such property shall be
reassessed at just value as of January 1 of the year following the year of sale or change of status; new
homestead property shall be assessed at just value as of January 1 of the year following the establishment
of the homestead; and changes, additions, reductions or improvements to the homestead shall initially be
assessed as provided for by general law.
Owners of homestead property may transfer up to $500,000 of their Save Our Homes Benefit to a
new homestead property purchased within two years of the sale of their previous homestead property to
which such benefit applied if the just value of the new homestead is greater than or is equal to the just
value of the prior homestead. If the just value of the new homestead is less than the just value of the prior
homestead, then owners of homestead property may transfer a proportional amount of their Save Our
Homes Benefit, such proportional amount equaling the just value of the new homestead divided by the
just value of the prior homestead multiplied by the assessed value of the prior homestead.
T
For all levies other than school district levies, assessment increases for specified nonhomestead M
real property may not exceed ten percent (10%) of the assessment for the prior year. This assessment 77
limitation is, by its terms, to be repealed effective January 1, 2019; however, the legislature by joint
resolution approved an amendment abrogating such repeal, which was approved by the electors in the E
November 6, 2018 general election and came into effect January 1, 2019.
Homestead Exemptions. In addition to the exemptions described above, the State Constitution also
provides for a homestead exemption. Every person who has the legal title or beneficial title in equity to
real property in the State and who resides thereon and in good faith makes the same his or her permanent
residence or the permanent residence of others legally or naturally dependent upon such person is
eligible to receive a homestead exemption of up to $50,000. The first $25,000 applies to all property taxes,
including school district taxes. The additional exemption, up to $25,000, applicable to the assessed value
of the property between $50,000 and $75,000, applies to all levies other than school district levies. A
person who is receiving or claiming the benefit of an ad valorem tax exemption or a tax credit in another
state where permanent residency, or residency of another legally or naturally dependent upon the owner,
is required as a basis for the granting of that ad valorem tax exemption or tax credit is not entitled to the
homestead exemption. In addition to the general homestead exemption described in this paragraph, the
following homestead exemptions are authorized by State law:
Certain Persons 65 or Older. A board of county commissioners or the governing authority of any
municipality may adopt an ordinance to allow an additional homestead exemption equal to (i) of up to
$50,000 for persons age 65 or older with household income that does not exceed the statutory income
limitation of $20,000 (as increased by the percentage increase in the average cost of living index each year
since 2001) or (ii) the assessed value of the property with a just value less than $250,000, as determined
25694/009/01626500.DOCv311
Packet Pg. 404
11.B.5
the first tax year that the owner applies and is approved, for any person 65 or older who has maintained
the residence as his or her permanent residence for not less than 25 years and whose household income
does not exceed the statutory income. The County enacted an ordinance providing for the exemption
from County ad valorem taxes described in this paragraph.
In addition, veterans 65 or older who are partially or totally permanently disabled may receive a
discount from tax on homestead property if the disability was combat related and the veteran was
honorably discharged upon separation from military service. The discount is a percentage equal to the
percentage of the veteran's permanent, service -connected disability as determined by the United States
Department of Veteran's Affairs. The County has not enacted an ordinance providing for the exemption
from County ad valorem taxes described in this paragraph.
Deployed Military Personnel. The State Constitution provides that by general law and subject to
certain conditions specified therein, each person who receives a homestead exemption who was a
member of the United States military or military reserves, the United States Coast Guard or its reserves,
or the Florida National Guard; and who was deployed during the preceding calendar year on active duty
outside the continental United States, Alaska, or Hawaii in support of military operations designated by
the legislature shall receive an additional exemption equal to a percentage of the taxable value of his or
her homestead property. The applicable percentage shall be calculated as the number of days during the
preceding calendar year the person was deployed on active duty outside the continental United States,
Alaska, or Hawaii in support of military operations designated by the legislature divided by the number
of days in that year.
Certain Active Duty Military and Veterans. A military veteran who was honorably discharged, is a in
resident of the State, and who is disabled to a degree of 10% or more because of misfortune or while r
serving during wartime may be entitled to a $5,000 reduction in the assessed value of his or her property. M
This exemption is not limited to homestead property. A military veteran who was honorably discharged
with a service -related total and permanent disability may be eligible for a total exemption from taxes on
homestead property. A similar exemption is available to disabled veterans confined to wheelchairs. E
Under certain circumstances, the veteran's surviving spouse may be entitled to carry over these
exemptions. M
Certain Totally and Permanently Disabled Persons. Real estate used and owned as a homestead by a
quadriplegic, less any portion used for commercial purposes, is exempt from all ad valorem taxation.
Real estate used and owned as a homestead by a paraplegic, hemiplegic, or other totally and permanently
disabled person, who must use a wheelchair for mobility or who is legally blind, is exempt from taxation
if the gross household income is below statutory limits.
Survivors of First Responders. Any real estate that is owned and used as a homestead by the
surviving spouse of a first responder (law enforcement officer, correctional officer, firefighter, emergency
medical technician or paramedic), who died in the line of duty may be granted a total exemption on
homestead property if the first responder and his or her surviving spouse were permanent residents of
the State on January 1 of the year in which the first responder died.
Save Our Homes Portability Affected by Storm Damage (SOH). Owners of homestead property that
was significantly damaged or destroyed as a result of a named tropical storm or hurricane can elect to
have the property deemed abandoned if the owner establishes a new homestead by January 1 of the
second year immediately following the storm or hurricane. This will allow the owner of the homestead
25694/009/01626500.D00012
Packet Pg. 405
11.B.5
property to keep their SOH benefit if they move from the significantly damaged or destroyed property to
establish a new homestead by the end of the year following the storm.
Property Tax Relief for Natural Disasters. In light of the recent natural disasters, the state
legislature created a property tax relief credit for homestead parcels on which certain residential
improvements were damaged or destroyed by a hurricane that occurred in 2016 or 2017, namely
hurricanes Hermine, Matthew, and Irma. If the residential improvement is rendered uninhabitable for at
least 30 days due to a hurricane that occurred during the 2016 or 2017 calendar year, taxes initially levied
in 2019 may be abated. Due to this reduction in ad valorem tax revenue, the legislature is required to
appropriate funds to offset the deficit in certain taxing jurisdictions.
Recent Amendments Relating to Ad Valorem Taxation. In the 2016 legislative session, several
amendments were passed affecting ad valorem taxation, including classification of agricultural lands
during periods of eradication or quarantine, deleting requirements that conservation easements be
renewed annually, providing that just value of real property shall be determined in the first tax year for
income restricted persons age 65 or older who have maintained such property as the permanent residence
for at least 25 years, authorizing a first responder who is totally and permanently disabled as a result of
injuries sustained in the line of duty to receive relief from ad valorem taxes assessed on homestead
property, revising procedures with respect to assessments, hearings and notifications by the value
adjustment board, and revising the interest rate on unpaid ad valorem taxes.
Future Amendments Relating to Ad Valorem Taxation. Historically, various legislative proposals and `y
constitutional amendments relating to ad valorem taxation have been introduced in each session of the
L
State legislature. Many of these proposals have provided for new or increased exemptions to ad valorem CO
taxation and limited increases in assessed valuation of certain types of property or have otherwise r
restricted the ability of local governments in the State to levy ad valorem taxes at then current levels. M
Constitutional Limitations on New State Taxes and Fees
During the 2018 State legislative session, the State Legislature passed House Joint Resolution 7001
("HJR 7001"), including an amendment to the State Constitution providing that no state tax or fee may be
imposed, authorized, raised by the State Legislature, or authorized by the State Legislature to be raised,
except through legislation approved by two-thirds of the membership of each house of the Legislature.
The same requirement would apply to decreasing or eliminating any state tax, fee exemption or credit.
Previously, such actions could be approved by a majority vote. HJR 7001 also requires that any proposed
state tax or fee imposition, authorization or increase must be contained in a separate bill that contains no
other subject. The joint resolution specifies that the amendment does not authorize the imposition of any
state tax or fee otherwise prohibited by the State Constitution, and does not apply to any tax or fee
imposed by, or authorized to be imposed by, a county, municipality, school board, or special district. The
amendment in the HJR 7001 was approved by at least sixty percent of the voters during the 2018 general
election and was passed and signed into law by Governor Scott and will take effect on January 8, 2019.
Although the legislation will not subject local taxes and fees to the stricter voting requirement, local
governments could be adversely impacted during recessionary economic environments if State
lawmakers are unable to raise taxes. The County does not expect that HJR 7001 will have an impact on its
ability to pay debt service on the Series 2020 Bonds.
