SECTION 4. RESOLUTION CONSTITUTES CONTRACT. In consideration
of the acceptance of the Notes authorized to be issued hereunder by
those who shall own the same from time to time (the "Noteholders"),
this Resolution shall be deemed to be and shall constitute a
contract between the City and such Noteholders, and the covenants
and agreements herein set forth to be performed by the City shall
be for the equal benefit, protection and security of the owners of
any and all of such Notes, all of which shall be of equal rank and
without preference, priority or distinction of any of the Notes
over any other thereof except as expressly provided therein and

SECTION 5. AUTHORIZATION, DESIGNATION AND DETAILS OF THE

imprinted or reproduced thereon and attested by the City Clerk,
either manually or with their facsimile signatures. In case any one
or more of the officers who shall have signed or sealed any of the
Notes shall cease to be such officer before the Notes so signed and

nevertheless be sold and delivered as herein provided and may be
issued as if the person who signed and sealed such Notes had not

The Notes shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication,
in the form set forth in Exhibit "A" hereto, executed manually by

of the Paying Agent upon any Note executed on behalf of the City
shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so authenticated has
been duly authenticated and delivered under this Resolution and
that the owner thereof is entitled to the benefits of this
Resolution.
SECTION 8. NEGOTIABILITY, REGISTRATION AND CANCELLATION. At
the option of a registered owner of a Note and upon surrender of a
Note at the principal corporate trust office of the Paying Agent
with a written instrument of transfer and with guaranty of
signature satisfactory to the Paying Agent duly executed by the
Noteholder or his duly authorized attorney and upon payment by such
Noteholder of any charges which the Paying Agent or the City may
make as provided in this Section, the Note may be exchanged for a
Note of the same aggregate principal amount and maturity of any
other authorized denominations.
The Paying Agent shall keep books for the registration of
Notes and for the registration of transfers of Notes. The Notes
shall be transferable by the owner thereof in person or by his
attorney duly authorized in writing only upon the books of the City
kept by the Paying Agent and only upon surrender thereof together
with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Paying
Agent duly executed by the Noteholder or his duly authorized
attorney. Upon the transfer of any such Note, the City shall cause
to be issued in the name of the transferee a new Note or Notes.
The City and the Paying Agent may deem and treat the person in
whose name any Note shall be registered upon the books kept by the
Paying Agent as the absolute owner of such Note, whether such Note
shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of,
or on account of, the principal of and interest on such Note as the
same becomes due and for all other purposes. All such payments so
made to any such Noteholder or upon his order shall be valid and
effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Note to
the extent of the sum or sums so paid, and neither the City nor the
Paying Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. In
all cases in which the privilege of exchanging Notes or
transferring Notes is exercised, the City shall execute and the
Paying Agent shall authenticate and deliver Notes in accordance
with the provisions of this Resolution. All Notes surrendered in

require the payment of a sum sufficient to pay any tax, fee or
other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such
exchange or transfer.
All Notes paid, at maturity or otherwise, shall be delivered
to the Paying Agent when such payment is made, and such Notes,
together with any Notes purchased by the City for cancellation,
shall thereupon be promptly canceled. Notes so canceled may at any
DW:[04547.D0C3.MISCJTAN-RM0. - 4 -
94- 693
time be destroyed by the Paying Agent, who shall execute a
certification of destruction in duplicate by the signature of one
of its authorized officers describing the Notes so destroyed, and
one executed certificate shall be filed with the City and the other
executed certificate shall be retained by the Paying Agent.
SECTION 9. NOTES MUTILATED, DESTROYED, STOLEN OR LOST. In
case any Note shall become mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost,
the City may execute and the Paying Agent shall authenticate and
deliver a new Note of like date, maturity, denomination and
interest rate as the Note so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost,
provided that, in the case of any mutilated Note, such mutilated
Note shall first be surrendered to the City and, in the case of any
lost, stolen or destroyed Note, there shall first be furnished to
the City and the Paying Agent proof of ownership, evidence of such
loss, theft, or destruction satisfactory to the City and the Paying
Agent, together with indemnity satisfactory to them. In the event
any such Note shall be about to mature or have matured, instead of
issuing a duplicate Note, the City may direct the Paying Agent to
pay the same without surrender thereof. The City and Paying Agent
may charge the owner of such Notes their reasonable fees and
expenses in connection with this transaction. Any Note surrendered
for replacement shall be canceled in the same manner as provided in
Section 8 hereof.
Any such duplicate Notes issued pursuant to this Section shall
constitute additional contractual obligations on the part of the
City, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Notes be at any
time found by anyone, and such duplicate Notes shall be entitled to
equal and proportionate benefits and rights as to lien on and
source and security for payment from the Pledged Funds with all
other Notes issued hereunder.

Paying Agent shall pay over, assign and deliver any moneys held by
it as Paying Agent to its successor.

full faith and credit nor the taxing power of the City, the County
or the State or any political subdivision thereof or governmental
authority or body therein are pledged to the payment of the

under its control that the interest on the Notes issued hereunder

that it will comply with the requirements applicable to it
contained in Section 103 and Sections 141 through 150 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") to the
extent necessary to preserve the exclusion of interest on the Notes

M:[04.U7.D0CS.MISgTAN-RW0. - % -

(1) To make or cause to be made all necessary
determinations and calculations of the Rebate Amount (as
hereinafter defined) and required payments of the Rebate Amount;

the Notes issued hereunder to become arbitrage bonds under Section
148 of the Code.
The City understands that the foregoing covenants impose
continuing obligations on the City that will exist as long as the
requirements of Section 103 and Part IV of Subchapter B of Chapter

the contrary, including, in particular Section 21 hereof, the
obligation of the City to pay the Rebate Amount to the United
States of America and to comply with the other requirements of this
provision shall survive the defeasance or payment in full of the
Notes.
As used herein, the term "Rebate Amount" means the excess
of the amount earned on all non -purpose investments (as defined in
Section 148(f)(6) of the Code) over the amount which would have
been earned if such non -purpose investments were invested at the
rate equal to the yield on the Notes, plus any income attributable
to such excess.
SECTION 14. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. (a) An amount of
proceeds of the Notes equal to the cost of issuance shall be
deposited with the Paying Agent in a separate fund designated the
City of Miami Tax Anticipation Notes, Series 1994 Cost of Issuance

repository acceptable to the City and to advise the City of the

THE CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA
Tax Anticipation Notes, Series 1994
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Official Statement, including the cover
page and all appendices hereto, is to set forth certain information
in connection with the sale by The City of Miami, Florida (the
"City"), of its $25,000,000* aggregate principal amount of Tax
Anticipation Notes, Series 1994 (the "Notes").
AUTHORITY FOR THE ISSUE
The Notes are being issued pursuant to the Constitution and
laws of the State of Florida, particularly Chapter 166, Florida
Statutes, as amended, and pursuant to the Charter of the City, as
amended (collectively, the "Act"), and a resolution duly adopted by
the City on September 22, 1994 (the "Resolution"). A copy of the
Resolution is included as APPENDIX C hereto. Capitalized terms
used herein and not defined shall have the meaning ascribed to them
in the Resolution. For a complete description of the terms and
conditions of the Notes, reference is made to the Resolution. The
description of the Notes and the documents authorizing and securing
the Notes and the information from reports contained herein do not
purport to be comprehensive or definitive. All references herein
to the Notes and such documents and reports are qualified in their
entirety by reference thereto.
PURPOSE OF THE NOTES
The Notes are being issued for the purpose of providing funds
to pay the appropriations made by the City Commission of the City
for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1995 (the "Fiscal Year")
in anticipation of the receipt of the City's ad valorem taxes for
such Fiscal Year and to pay a portion of the costs of issuance of
the Notes.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
The Notes will be issued in the aggregate principal amount,
will bear interest at the rate, and will mature on the date, all as
set forth on the cover page of this Official Statement. The Notes
will be dated the date of their original issuance and delivery and
*Preliminary, subject to change.

shall be issued in fully registered form in the denominations of
$5,000 or any integral multiple thereof and, when issued, will be
registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depository
Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC"). Purchases of beneficial
interests in the Notes will be made in book -entry -only form
(without certificates) in the denominations of $5,000 or any
integral multiple thereof.
The City has appointed the Bank of New York, Trust Company of
Florida, N.A., Jacksonville, Florida as paying agent (the "Paying
Agent") for the Notes.
Hook -Entry -Only System
The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, New York, will
act as securities depository for the Notes. The Notes will be
issued as fully -registered securities registered in the name of
Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee). One fully registered Note
certificate will be issued for the Notes in the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes and will be deposited with DTC.
DTC is a limited -purpose trust company organized under the New
York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of
the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System,
a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform
Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the
provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
DTC holds securities that its participants ("Participants") deposit
with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among Participants
of securities transactions,- such as transfers and pledges, in
deposited securities through electronic computerized book -entry
changes in Participants' accounts, thereby eliminating the need for
physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants
include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies,
clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is
owned by a number of its Direct Participants and by the New York
Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange, Inc., and the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC
system is also available to others such as securities brokers and
dealers, banks, and trust companies that clear through or maintain
a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly
or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). The Rules applicable to
DTC and its Participants are on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
Purchases of Notes under the DTC system must be made by or
through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the
Notes on DTC records. The ownership interest of each actual
purchaser of each Note ("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, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive
written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well
D09:[04S47.DOCS.ML4290013]POS-1. 2
94- 693
as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or
Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered
into the transaction. Transfer of ownership interests in the Notes
are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Participants
acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not
receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the
Notes, except in the event that use of the book -entry system for
the Notes is discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Notes deposited by
Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's
partnership nominee, Cede & Co. The deposit of notes with DTC and
their registration in the name of Cede & Co. effect no change in
beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual
Beneficial Owners of the Notes; DTC's records reflect only the
identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Notes
are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The
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.
Redemption notices shall be sent to Cede & Co. If less than
all of the Notes within an issue are being redeemed, DTC's practice
is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct
Participant in such issue to be redeemed.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will consent or vote with respect
to Notes. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy
to the City 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 the Notes are credited on the
record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus
Proxy) .
Principal and interest payments on the Notes will be made to
DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts on
payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on
DTC' s records unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not
receive payment on payable date. Payments by Participants to
Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and
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 Participant and not
of DTC, the Paying Agent, or the City, subject to any statutory or
regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.
Payment of principal and interest to DTC is the responsibility of
the City or the Paying Agent, disbursement of such payments to
Dog:[04S47,D=.?&M80013;P0s-1. 3 9 4- 693
W
Direct Participants shall be the responsibility of DTC, and
disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners shall be the
responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities
depository with respect to the Notes at any time by giving
reasonable notice to the City or the Paying Agent. Under such
circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository
is not obtained, Note certificates are required to be printed and
delivered.
The City may decide to discontinue use of the system of book -
entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository).
In that event, Note certificates will be printed and delivered.
The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book -
entry system has been obtained from sources that the City believes
to be reliable, but the City takes no responsibility for the
accuracy thereof.
SECURITY FOR THE NOTES
The principal of and interest on the Notes and all required
sinking fund and other payments shall be payable solely from the
City' s ad valorem taxes collected during the Fiscal Year other than
add valorem taxes approved by referendum and levied specifically to
pay debt service on bonds or other obligations issued by the City
(the "Pledged Funds"). Neither the full faith and credit nor the
taxing power of the City, Dade County, Florida or the State of
Florida or any political subdivision thereof or governmental
authority or body therein are pledged to the payment of the
principal of or interest ,on the Notes, except for the Pledged
Funds.
Commencing on December 1, 1994, the Director of Finance shall
withdraw from the General Fund of the City all Pledged Funds as
received and deposit the amount so withdrawn to the credit of a
special fund called the Note Fund created under the terms of the
Resolution (the "Note Fund"), until the amount then on deposit to
the credit of the Note Fund on the first day of the indicated month
equals the following percentages of the sum of the principal of and
interest on the Notes to be paid at maturity (the "Note Fund
Requirement"):

If the amount so deposited in any month to the credit of the
Note Fund shall be less than the required amount for such month,
the requirement therefor shall nevertheless be added to the amount
otherwise required to be deposited in each month thereafter until
such time as such deficiency shall have been made up. Pledged
Funds deposited to the credit of the Note Fund in excess of the
monthly deposit requirement set forth above shall be credited
against future Note Fund deposit requirements. Payments into the
Note Fund shall be adjusted to give credit for investment earnings
then on deposit in the Note Fund and to make up any deficit in the
required cumulative balance attributable to investment losses.
Moneys in the Note Fund shall be trust funds and shall be at all
times secured as are other deposits of public funds. Amounts in
the Note Fund shall be invested in accordance with the City of
Miami, Florida, Code Section 18-2(b)(1986), as amended, and all
investment earnings on funds in the Note Fund shall be retained
therein and applied as stated above.
The City will not create or suffer to be created any lien or
charge upon the Pledged Funds ranking equally with or prior to the
Notes, except for direct obligations of the City for which the full
faith, credit and taxing power of the City have been or shall be
pledged.

REGISTRATION, EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER
As long as a book -entry system is used for determining

exchange of the Notes will occur as described under "DESCRIPTION OF
THE NOTES - Book -Entry -Only System".
LEGAL DEBT LIMITATIONS
The Florida Constitution
The Florida Constitution does not provide a limit on the
amount of ad valorem taxes the City may levy for voted bonds.
However, pursuant to Article VII, Section 9, of the Florida
Constitution, the City is limited to an annual maximum tax levy of
10 mills per $1.00 ($10 per $1,000) of the assessed value of real
estate and tangible personal property for municipal purposes other
than for the payment of voted bonds. Ad valorem taxes levied for
periods not exceeding two years and authorized by a vote of the
electorate are excluded from 10 mill limitations.
Article VII, Section 12 of the Florida Constitution requires
the approval of electors prior to the issuance of bonds payable
from ad valorem taxes and maturing more than twelve months after
issuance. The provision in Article VII, Section 12, which limits
such vote to electors who are owners of freeholds not wholly exempt
from taxation has been held by the courts to be void. Accordingly,
all qualified electors in the City are eligible to vote in bond
elections. The remainder of the relevant section of the Florida
Constitution providing for ad valorem taxation has been held valid
and remains,operative.
The City Charter
The City Charter limits general obligation debt of the City to
15k of the assessed valuation of all real and personal property
within the City limits as shown by the last preceding assessment

Procedure for Tax Levy and Tax Collection
Real and personal property valuations are determined each year
as of January 1, by the Dade County Assessor of Property at 100W of
market value. A notice is mailed to each property owner indicating
the property valuation. The property owner has the right to file
an appeal with the Dade County Clerk of the Board of Tax Adjustment
if such property valuation as determined by the property appraiser
is inconsistent with that as determined by the property owner. All
appeals of such valuation determinations are heard by the Dade
County Board of Equalization. The Board certifies the assessment
roll upon completion of the hearing of all appeals so filed.
All taxes are due and payable on November 1 of each year or as
soon thereafter as the assessment roll is certified and delivered
to the Dade County Tax Collector. The Dade County Tax Collector
mails to each taxpayer on the assessment roll a notice of the taxes
levied. Taxes may be paid upon receipt of such notice, with
discounts at the rate of four percent if paid in the month of
November, three percent if paid in the month of December, two
percent if paid in the month of January and one percent if paid in
the month of February. Taxes paid during the month of March are
without discount. Taxpayers also have the option of paying their
taxes in equal quarterly payments based on the prior years` tax
assessment with a six percent discount with the June 30th payment,
four percent discount with the September 30th payment, two percent
discount plus one-half of any adjustments required to bring tax
payments to current year's tax assessments, discounted at three
percent with the December 31,payment and no discount plus one-half
of any such adjustments with the March 31st payment. All unpaid
taxes on real and personal property become delinquent on April 1 of
the calendar year following the year in which the taxes were
levied. All tax collections for the City are delivered to the City
by Dade County. The delinquent real property taxes bear interest
at the rate of eighteen percent per year from April 1 until a tax
sale certificate is sold at auction from which time the interest
rate shall be as bid by the buyer of the certificate.

TAX MATTERS
The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code,'),
includes requirements which the City must continue to meet after
the issuance of the Notes in order that the interest on the Notes
not be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes.
The City's failure to meet these requirements may cause interest on
the Notes to be included in gross income for federal income tax
purposes retroactive to their date of issuance. The City has
covenanted in the Resolution to take the actions required by the
Code in order to maintain the exclusion from gross income for
federal income tax purposes of the interest on the Notes.
In the opinion of Note Counsel, assuming continuing compliance
by the City with the tax covenants referred to above, under
existing statutes, regulations, rulings and court decisions,
interest on the Notes is excluded from gross income for federal
income tax purposes. Interest on the Notes is not an item of tax
preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax
imposed on individuals and corporations; however, interest on the
Notes is taken into account in determining adjusted current
earnings for purposes of computing the alternative minimum tax
imposed on corporations. Note Counsel is further of the opinion
that the Notes and the interest thereon are not subject to taxation
under the laws of the State of Florida, except as to estate taxes
and taxes imposed by Chapter 220, Florida Statutes, on interest,
income or profits on debt obligations owned by corporations as
defined therein.
Except as described above, Note Counsel will express no
opinion regarding the federal income tax consequences resulting
from the ownership of, receipt or accrual of interest on, or
disposition of the Notes. Prospective purchasers of Notes should
be aware that the ownership of Notes may result in other collateral
federal tax consequences, including (i) the denial of a deduction
for interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or
carry Notes or, in the case of a financial institution, that
portion of the owner's interest expense allocable to interest on a
Note, (ii) the reduction of the loss reserve deduction for property
and casualty insurance companies by 15 percent of certain items,
including interest on Notes, (iii) for taxable years beginning
before 1996, the inclusion of interest on Notes in "modified
alternative minimum taxable income" for purposes of the
environmental tax imposed on corporations, (iv) the inclusion of
interest on Notes in the earnings of certain foreign corporations
doing business in the United States for purposes of a branch
profits tax, (v) the inclusion of interest on Notes in the passive
income subject to federal income taxation of certain Subchapter S
corporations with Subchapter S earnings and profits at the close of
the taxable year and (vi) the inclusion in gross income of interest
on Notes by recipients of certain Social Security and Railroad
Retirement Benefits.

[PENDING MATTERS]
[Employee Benefits Liability]
[The City is a party to a number of cases involving the City's
pension fund and workmen's compensation. Prior to 1973, Florida
statutory law as well as the City's Code permitted the City to
deduct from employees' pension payments the amount that the
employee receives from workmen's compensation. In 1973 Florida
statutory law was repealed but the City continued to offset its
pension payments against workmen's compensation payments of its
employees pursuant to the City Code. In 1989, the Supreme court of
Florida ruled that the City's pension offset was improper. As a
result, the City is or may be subject to an additional 56 pension
offset cases. To date, the Workmen's Compensation Court has issued
18 orders against the City which total in the aggregate $2, 543, 312.
The City took an appeal from each of those orders and has lost at
the appellate court on most of them. The City has employed legal
counsel to seek review of those decisions by the Florida Supreme
Court. In addition to the 18 orders, 23 other cases are currently
in litigation, and the remaining 16 cases have not been pursued to
date. If all 57 cases were decided against the City, the total
cost is estimated to be $6.4 million for which the City has no
reserves.
In the event that the City is successful in its efforts at the
Florida Supreme Court level, the financial impact on the City may
be significantly reduced. Otherwise, it will need to consider
other alternatives such as a structured payment over a number of
years in order to try to mitigate the financial impact that these
decisions would have if the City was required to pay all the claims
within a short period of time.
[Settlement of Claim
The City has recently settled civil litigation brought against
it by Mr. Antonio Edwards and other related parties arising from an
incident involving City police officers., City Resolution J-93-510
authorized the settlement pursuant to which the City agreed to pay,
in various amounts over a four year period commencing October 1,
1993, cash sums equal to $6,737,197 plus the cost of certain past
medical bills and a future health care plan for Mr. Edwards.]
LITIGATION
There is not now pending any litigation restraining or
enjoining the issuance or delivery of the Notes or the levy or
collection of ad valorem taxes to pay the principal of or the
interest on the Notes, or questioning the proceedings or
authorization under which the Notes are to be issued, or affecting
the validity of the Notes.

circumstances so warrant. A revision or withdrawal of any such
rating may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Notes.
UNDERWRITING
(the "Underwriter") has agreed,
subject to the proceedings authorizing the issuance of the Notes,
to purchase the Notes from the City for the purpose of resale. The
Underwriter or their representatives have furnished the information
in this Official Statement pertaining to the public offering price
of the Notes, and have participated in the preparation of portions
of this Official Statement. The public offering price of the Notes
may be changed from time to time by the Underwriter, and the
Underwriter may allow a concession from the public offering price
to certain dealers. None of the Notes will be delivered by the
City to the Underwriter unless all of the Notes are delivered.
FINANCIAL ADVISORS
The City has retained Howard Gary & Company, Miami, Florida,
and Raymond James & Associates, Inc., St. Petersburg, Florida, as
Financial Advisors (the "Financial Advisors") in connection with
the preparation of the City's plan of financing and with respect to
the authorization and issuance of the Notes. The Financial
Advisors are not obligated to undertake and have not undertaken to
make, an independent verification or to assume responsibility for
the accuracy, completeness, or fairness of the information

DISCLOSURES REQUIRED BY FLORIDA BLUE SKY REGULATIONS
Rule 3E-400.003, Florida Administrative Code, requires the
City to disclose each and every default as to payment of principal
and interest after December 31, 1975, with respect to obligations
issued or guaranteed by the City. Rule 3E-400.003 further
provides, however, that if the City in good faith believes that
such disclosure would not be considered material by reasonable
investors, such disclosure may be omitted. Certain obligations
issued by the City in which the City has acted merely as a conduit
for payment do not constitute an actual debt, liability or
obligation of the City, but are instead secured by payments to be
made from certain users of bond -financed property. Because such
other obligations are not dependent upon the City for repayment,
they do not affect or reflect the financial strength of the City.
Accordingly, any prior default with respect to such obligations
issued by the City would not in the City's judgment be considered
material by reasonable investors in the Notes. Accordingly, the
City has not taken affirmative steps to contact the various
trustees of conduit bond issues of the City to determine the
existence of prior defaults.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the best knowledge of the
Director of Finance of the City, the City has not received actual
nog:[0esa7.nocs.Hun2800131P0s-1. 19
94- 693
notice of any default in the payment of principal or interest after
December 31, 1975, on any obligation issued or guaranteed by the
City. Nevertheless, given the number of bond issues of the City
and the turnover in administrative personnel since December 31,
1975, there is no assurance that obligations issued by the City
have never been in default with respect to the payment of principal
and/or interest.

and the Director of Finance will furnish their certificate to the

DESCRIPTION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI
Geography
The City of Miami (the "City"), situated at the mouth of the Miami
River on the western shore of Biscayne Bay, is a main port of entry
in Florida and the county seat of Metropolitan Dade County (the
"County") which encompasses over 2,000 square miles of Florida's
southeastern region. The City comprises 34.3 square miles of land
and 19.5 square miles of water.
Miami is the southern -most major city and seaport in the
continental United States and the center of Pan-American trade and
air transportation. The nearest foreign territory is the Bahamian
Island of Bimini, situated approximately fifty miles off the coast
of Florida. The County is often referred to herein as Greater
Miami.
Climate
Due to its location near the upper boundary of the tropical zone,
Miami's climate is strongly influenced by the Gulf Stream, trade
winds and other local climatic factors. Its average yearly
temperature is 75.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Summer temperatures
average 81.4 degrees Fahrenheit, and winter temperatures average
69.1 degrees Fahrenheit. Rainfall comes most frequently between
the months of May and September, with the heaviest in June,
averaging nine inches.
Population
The U.S. Bureau of Census estimated the population of the City at
358,458 as of April 1, 1990. The estimate is being challenged by
the City. The City estimates that its population in 1993 was
383,550. According to estimates of the City, the population is
expected to increase to 400,000 by the year 2000.
Government of the City

in a final Official Statement. Upon the sale of the Notes, the
City agrees to provide to the successful bidder, within the earlier
of seven business days following the sale of the Notes or to
accompany the successful bidder's confirmation that requests
payment for the Notes, copies of a final Official Statement in
quantities sufficient to comply with the Rule.
The City will include in the Official Statement such
additional information concerning the reoffering of the Notes as
the successful bidder or bidders may reasonably request. The
successful bidder or bidders will be responsible to the City and
its officials in all respects with respect to the accuracy and
completeness of information provided by such successful bidder or
bidders with respect to such reoffering. The successful bidder or
bidders will be required to acknowledge receipt of the Official
Statement and will be prohibited from confirming the sale of any
Notes unless the confirmation requesting payment from the customer
is accompanied or preceded by a copy of the Official Statement. At
the time of or prior to the delivery of the Notes, the successful
bidder or bidders will be required to file the Official Statement
with a nationally recognized municipal securities information
repository acceptable to the City and to advise the City of the
date and repository of such filing. In the event that the Notes

their underwriting period or periods (as defined in the Rule). In
the event that a successful bidder advises the City that its
underwriting period has not been terminated at the time of delivery

any amendment or supplement thereto) to be allocated pro rata among
such bidders but will be responsible for the costs of printing more
than 500 copies of the Official Statement (including any amendment

Each bid must be accompanied by a good faith deposit in the
form of a certified or bank cashier's or treasurer's check drawn

M:J04547.n0cs.MLSCJE cc -Ns. - 3 -
or Financial Surety Bond, on which no interest will be allowed,
must be payable unconditionally to the order of The City of Miami,
Florida. Award or rejection of bids will be made on the date above
stated for receipt of bids and the unsuccessful bidders who
submitted checks in satisfaction of the good faith deposit
requirement will have such checks returned immediately.
Alternatively, the good faith deposit requirement may be
satisfied through the posting of a Financial Surety Bond under
Capital Guaranty Insurance Company's Sure -Bid program, in the
amount of $250,000 and payable to the order of The City of Miami,
Florida. If a Financial Surety Bond is used, such bond must be
submitted to the City prior to the opening of the bids. The
Financial Surety Bond must identify each bidder whose good faith
deposit is guaranteed by such Financial Surety Bond. If the Notes
are awarded to a bidder utilizing a Financial Surety Bond, then
that purchaser (the "Purchaser") is required to submit its good
faith deposit to the City in the form of a cashier's check (or wire
transfer such amount for the benefit of the City to the following
bank and bank account: First Union National Bank of Florida, ABA
No. 063000021, Credit to: The City of Miami, Florida, Acct. No.
2696204833948, Attn: Joyce Blackwood) not later than 3:30 P.M.
Miami time on the next business day following the award. If such
good faith deposit is not received by that time, the Financial
Surety Bond may be drawn by the City to satisfy the good faith
deposit requirement. No interest on the good faith deposit will
accrue to the Purchaser.
The good faith deposit of the successful bidder will be cashed
and the proceeds, on which no interest will be allowed, will be
held as security for the performance of the bid, and, in the event
such successful bidder shall fail to comply with the terms of its
bid, the proceeds will be retained by the City. The retention of
such good faith deposit will constitute full liquidated damages.
If it shall be found impossible to issue and deliver the Notes, the
City will deliver to the successful bidder a certified or bank
cashier's or treasurer's check drawn upon a bank or trust company
in The City of Miami, Florida, payable unconditionally to the order
of such bidder, in the amount of the good faith deposit submitted
by such bidder with its bid. Upon delivery of the Notes, the
proceeds of the good faith deposit of the successful bidder will be
applied to payment for the Notes.
CUSIP Numbers
It is anticipated that CUSIP identification numbers will be
printed on the Notes, but neither the failure to print such numbers
on any Note nor any error with respect thereto shall constitute
cause for a failure or refusal by the purchasers thereof to accept
delivery of or pay for the Notes in accordance with the terms of
their bid. All expenses in relation to the printing of CUSIP
numbers on the Notes will be paid by the City, provided, however,
that the CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of said

successful bidder or bidders.

Notes, to furnish to the City such information concerning the
initial prices at which a substantial amount of the Notes of each

and the City' s Director of Finance or other appropriate officers of

best of their knowledge, the Official Statement as of its date and

contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not

The successful bidder shall have the right, at its option, to
cancel its obligation to purchase the Notes if the City shall fail
to tender the Notes for delivery within 60 days from the date

BACKGROUND•
The City will begin collecting property taxes for fiscal year
1994-95 at the end of November 1994. A cash flow gap
approximating $25 million is expected to occur in October and
November attributable to normal operating expenditures, and the
payment of the City's pension contribution for the year.
These Tax Anticipation Notes will be paid with fiscal year 1995
general fund property taxes. The proposed 1995 budget estimates
these taxes at $97,562,493, net of a 5% reserve for early payment
discounts and uncollectables. Although these budgeted revenues
are based on a preliminary taxroll, the majority of these taxes
are expected to be collected.
Some of the tables in the attached preliminary official statement
will be updated with 1993 and 1994 information prior to their
.final printing.
The Department of Finance hereby recommends the issuance of Tax
Anticipation Notes in October, 1994 in an amount not to exceed
$25 million to bridge the cash flow gap at the beginning of
fiscal year 1994-95, and to prepay the pension contributions.
