BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA: SECTION 1. FINDINGS. It is hereby found and determined that: (A) On January 7, 1997, the Board of County Commissioners of Collier County, Horida (the "Issuer"), duly adopted a resolution, the title of which resolution is quoted in the title of this resolution (as amended and supplemented, the 'Resolution"), for the purposes described therein, authorizing, among other things, the issuance of not exceeding $4,250,000 Collier County, Horida Naples Park Area Stormwater Improvement Assessment Bonds, Series 1997 (the "Bonds"), for the principal purpose of refunding those certain promissory notes designated Collier County, Hofida Revenue Note, Draw No. A-9-1 and Collier County, Florida Revenue Note, Draw No. A-9-2, issued to the Florida Local Government Finance Commission (the "Commission") on November 13, 1996 and February 20, 1997, respectively (collectively, the ~Refunded Obligations"). (B) On March 25, 1997, the Circuit Court for the Twentieth Judicial Circuit, in and for Collier County, Florida, issued a Final Judgment validating the Bonds. (C) There is hereby authorized the refunding of the Refunded Obligations in order to resmacture the Issuer's debt and establish fixed interest rates with respect to the borrowings represented by the Refunded Obligations, all in the manner as provided by the Resolution and this Supplemental Resolution. (D) The principal of and interest on the Bonds and all required Debt Service Fund (as defined in the Resolution) and other payments shall be payable solely from the Pledged Funds as herein and in the Resolution provided. The Issuer shall never be required to levy ad valorem taxes on any property within its corporate territory to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds or to make the required Debt Service Fund or other payments, and such Bonds shall not constitute a lien upon any property owned by the Issuer. (E) Due to the potential volatility of the market for tax-exempt obligations such as the Bonds and the complexity of the transactions relating to such Bonds, it is in the best interest of the Issuer to sell the Bonds by a negotiated sale, rather than at a specified advertised date, thereby permitting the Issuer to obtain the best possible price and interest rate for the Bonds. The Issuer acknowledges receipt of the information required by Section 8 218.385, Florida Statutes, in connection with the negotiated sale of the Bonds. The aforementioned information is set forth in the copy of the letter of Barnett Bank, N.A., the purchaser of said Bonds (the 'Purchaser") attached hereto as Exhibit A.

(G) The Resolution provided that the Bonds shall mature on such dates and in such amounts, shall bear such rates of interest, shall be payable in such places and shall be subject to such redemption provisions and other terms as shall be determined by supplemental resolution adopted by the Issuer; and it is now appropriate that the Issuer determine such terms and details.
