is in the best interest of the City to sell the Series 1992
Bonds at a negotiated sale or by a private placement or in
part at a negotiated sale and in part by private. placement.
Because of the different purposes for the issuance of the
Series 1992 Bonds, it is in the best interest of the City to
issue the Series 1992 Bonds in two series as the Series
1992A Bonds and the Series 1992B Bonds.
C. The City is not in default in performing any
of the covenants and obligations assumed by it under the
General Ordinance or the Bond Ordinance and all payments
required thereunder to have been made into the accounts and
funds established therein have been made to the full extent
required.
D. Each of the 1986 Subordinated Bonds, the
Council Loan and the 1990 Subordinated Bonds was issued for
a purpose for which Additional Bonds may be issued under the
General Ordinance.

1992B Bonds will be issued unless the requirements of
Section 209 of the General Ordinance are satisfied on or
prior to the issuance thereof and upon issuance in
accordance with the terms hereof and of the General
Ordinance and Bond Ordinance, the Series 1992A Bonds and
the Series 1992B Bonds will constitute Additional Bonds
under the General Ordinance entitled to all the security and
benefits thereof.

the City, the Department and the Underwriters.
This offer is made subject to your acceptance and

$ of original issue discount) plus accrued interest on
the 1992A Bonds from March 1, 1992 to the day of Closing

substantially all of the 1992A Bonds to the public at initial
public offering prices not greater than (or yields not less than)

official Statement (hereinafter defined); provided, however, that
the Underwriters reserve the right to make concessions to certain

shall deem necessary in connection with the marketing of the
1992A Bonds.
2. Good Faith Check. Delivered to the City herewith,
as a good faith check, are New York Clearinghouse Funds payable
to the order of the City in the amount of $55,000 (the "Good
Faith Check"), as security for the performance by the
Underwriters of their obligation to accept and pay for the 1992A
Bonds at Closing in accordance with the provisions hereof. In the
event that the City accepts this offer, the City agrees not to
cash such check and agrees to hold such Good Faith Check in
accordance with this Paragraph 2. The Good Faith Check will
serve as security for the performance by the Underwriters of

Agreement. Upon compliance by the Underwriters with such
obligation, the Good Faith Check shall be returned to the

Check shall be retained by the City as and for full liquidated
damages, and not as a penalty, for such failure and for any and
all defaults hereunder on the part of the Underwriters, and the
retention of such amounts shall constitute a full release and
discharge of all claims and damages for such failure and for any
and all such defaults hereunder on the part of the Underwriters,
it being understood by the parties hereto in the event of a
default by the Underwriters hereunder, actual damages may be
difficult or impossible to compute.

of the obligations of the Underwriters contained in this Bond
Purchase Agreement, or if the obligations of the Underwriters
contained herein shall be canceled or terminated for any reason
permitted by this Bond Purchase Agreement, the City shall be
obligated to return the Good Faith Check to the Representative,

referred to above (the 111992A Bonds"), Howard Gary & Company and
First Equity Corporation of Florida, AmeriSecurities Capital
Corporation, Argyle Securities and Guzman & Company (the
"Underwriters") are preparing to underwrite a public offering of
the 1992A Bonds. Arrangements for underwriting the 1992A Bonds
will include a Bond Purchase Agreement between the City and the
Underwriters that will embody the negotiations in respect
thereof.
The purpose of this letter is to furnish, pursuant to
the provisions of Section 218.385(4), Florida Statutes, as
amended, certain information in respect of the arrangements
contemplated for the underwriting of the 1992A Bonds as follows:
(a) The nature and estimated amounts of expenses to be

forth in Schedule I attached hereto.

(c) Subject to the outcome of negotiations of the terms
of this Bond Purchase Agreement and to the
successful sale by the Underwriters of all the
1992A Bonds at the initial public offering price,
it is our expectation that based on current market
conditions, the underwriting spread (i.e., the
difference between the price at which the 1992A
3249/GAR55001/A34
n
r
Bonds will be initially offered to the public by
the Underwriters and the price to be paid to the
City for the 1992A Bonds, exclusive of accrued
interest on both cases) will be of the
principal amount of the 1992A Bonds.
(d) Based on and as part of the estimated underwriting
spread set forth in paragraph (c) above, the
Underwriters will charge a management fee of
of the principal amount of the 1992A Bonds.
(e) There is no other fee, bonus or other compensation
to be paid by the Underwriters in connection with
the issuance of the 1992A Bonds to any person not
regularly employed or retained by the Underwriters,
except as specifically enumerated as expenses
referred to in paragraph (a) above to be incurred
by the Underwriters as set forth in Schedule I
attached hereto.
(f) The name and address of each of the Underwriters
are set forth in Schedule II attached hereto.
We understand that you do not require any further
disclosure from the Underwriters pursuant to Section 218.385(4),

Book -Entry Provisions
The following text was provided directly from The
Depository Trust Company and the City is not responsible for its
content.
1. The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, New
York, will act as securities depository for the 1992A Bonds. The
'992A Bonds will be issued as fully -registered securities
registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee).
One fully -registered Security certificate will be issued for each
maturity the 1992A Bonds, each in the aggregate principal amount
of such maturity, and will be deposited with DTC.
2. DTC is a limited -purpose trust company organized
under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within
4 tf � .... _1 "._i
03244/GAR55002/AA4
the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal
Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning or.
the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency"
registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the
Bonds 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 Bonds 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.
3. Purchase of the 1992A Bonds under the DTC system
must be made by or through Direct Participants, which are to
receive a credit for the 1992A Bonds on DTC's records. The
ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each 1992A 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, but
Beneficial Owners are 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 1992A Bonds
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 1992A Bonds, except in the event that use of the
book -entry system for the 1992A Bonds is discontinued.
4. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all 1992A Bonds
deposited by Participants with DTC are registered in the name of
DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co. The deposit of 1992A Bonds
with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. affect
no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the
actual Beneficial Owners of the 1992A Bonds. DTC's records
reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose
accounts such 1992A Bonds are credited, which may or may not be
in the Beneficial Owners. The Participants will remain
responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of
their customers.
5
03249/CA"5001/AA4
5. 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.
6. Redemption notices shall be sent to Cede & Co. If
less than all of the 1992A Bonds 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.
7. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will consent or vote with
respect to 1992A Bonds. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an
Omnibus Proxy to the issuer 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
1992A Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a
listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
8. Principal and interest payments on the 1992A Bonds
will be made to DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct
Participants' accounts on the payment date in accordance with
their respective holdings shown on DTC's records unless DTC has
reason to believe that it will not receive a 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 Trustee,
the Paying Agent, or the City, subject to any statutory or
regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.

the City or the Trustee, disbursement of such payments to 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.

by giving reasonable notice to the City or the Trustee. Under
such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities
depository is not obtained, bond certificates are required to be
printed and delivered.
10. The City may decide to discontinue use of the
system of book -entry transfers through DTC (or a successor
securities depository). In that event, bond certificates will be
printed and delivered.

Additional Provisions Regarding Book -Entry System
The City and the Bond Registrar will recognize and treat
DTC (or any successor securities depository) or its nominee as
the holder and owner or the 1992A Bonds for all purposes,
including payment of debt service, notices, enforcement of
remedies and voting. DTC (or any successor securities
depository) or its nominee for all purposes under the Ordinance
will be, and will be considered by the City to be, the registered
owner or registered holder of the 1992A Bonds.
The City and the Bond Registrar have no responsibility
or liability for any aspects of the records or notices relating
to, or payments made on account of, book -entry interest
ownership, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any
records relating to that ownership.
The City cannot and does not give any assurances that
DTC Participants, Indirect Participants or others will distribute
payments of debt service on the 1992A Bonds made to DTC or its
nominee as the registered owner, or any notices to the Beneficial
Owners, or that they will do so on a timely basis, or that DTC
will serve and act in a manner described in this Official
Statement.
In the event that DTC determines not to continue to act
as securities depository for the 1992A Bonds, the City may in its
discretion attempt to establish a securities depository, book -
entry relationship with another securities depository. If the
City does not do so, or is unable to do so, and after the Bond
Registrar has made provisions for notification of the Beneficial
Owners by appropriate notice to DTC, the City and the Bond
Registrar will authenticate and deliver replacement 1992A Bonds
in the denomination of $5,000 or any integral multiple of $5,000
to, or at the direction of, and if the event is not the result of
City action or inaction, at the expense (including printing
costs) of, any persons requesting such issuance.

Rate Covenant
The City and the Board have covenanted in the Ordinance
to establish, fix, charge and collect rates, fees, rentals and

often as may be necessary or appropriate to produce Revenues in
each Fiscal Year at least equal to the sum of (i) Current
Expenses for such period, plus (11) 125% of the Principal and
Interest Requirements for such period, plus (III) the amounts
required to be deposited in the Reserve Account in such period.
If, in any such Fiscal Year, the Revenues are not
sufficient to meet such requirements and if the cash and value of
the Investment Obligations available within the funds and
accounts created by the Ordinance are not sufficient to make such
deposits to the Interest Account, the Principal Account, the
Sinking Fund Account and the Reserve Account, the City and the
Department have covenanted to take action to revise the rates,
fees, rentals and charges, or alter their methods of operation or
take whatever action is necessary to produce the amount so
required in such period.

the requirements of (i), (ii) and (III) above, have not been
satisfied, then within 15 days of the receipt of the audit report
for such Fiscal Year, the Department will employ a Parking
Consultant to review and analyze the financial status and the
administration and operations of the Parking System, to inspect
the properties constituting the Parking System and to submit to
the Board and the Director, within 60 days thereafter, a written
report on the same, including the action taken by the City and
the Department with respect to the revision of its rates, fees,
rentals and charges, which report may contain recommendations of
further revisions of the rates, fees, rentals, charges and
methods of operation of the Parking System that will result in
producing the amount so required during that Fiscal Year.
Promptly upon its receipt of the recommendations, the Department
will transmit copies thereof to the City Commission, the Trustee
and each Holder of Record who has requested the same and will
take such further action as is then in the best interest of the
Registered Owners of the Bonds, the Department, the City and its
citizens.
In the event the City and the Department fail to take
the action described above, the Trustee may, and upon request of

On or before the first day of each Fiscal Year, the City
and the Board are required to adopt the budget for the Parking
System (which budget together with any amendments thereof or
supplements thereto as hereinafter permitted is herein
collectively called the "Annual Budget"). Copies of the Annual
Budget are to be filed with the Trustee, mailed by the Department
to the Parking Consultant, Moody's Investors Service, Inc.,
Standard & Poor's Corporation, and each Bondholder requesting the
same, and made available for inspection at the office of the
Chief Financial Officer.
If the City and the Board have not adopted the Annual
Budget before the first day of any Fiscal Year, the preliminary
budget for such Fiscal Year or, if there is none, the budget for
the preceding Fiscal Year, shall be deemed to be in force and
effect.
Financial Operations
The Department follows generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) applicable to governmental units. Departmental
accounting records are maintained on an accrual basis.
The Department utilizes a custom -designed computerized
garage revenue control system. The system, by the use of a bar
code reader, automatically enters and records all ticket
transaction information into the computer to enhance the internal
accounting controls of the Department.
Pension Plan
The Department is the sole sponsor of a defined benefit
pension plan (the "Pension Plan") which covers all of the
eligible full-time employees of the Department. The Pension
Plan, effective since November 14, 1971, requires contributions
from employees at a rate of 6-1/2 percent of their salaries. The
Department's contribution is equal to the remaining amount
necessary to fund the Pension Plan adequately.
In accordance with the Pension Plan, the Department is
required to fund liabilities of the Pension Plan based upon
actuarial valuations. Certified actuarial valuations of the
Pension Plan are required every three years, although it has been
the policy of the Retirement Board created under the terms of the
Pension Plan to obtain actuarial valuations at the end of each
Fiscal Year.
The actuarially computed present values of accumulated
Pension Plan benefits at September 30, 1990 and 1990 were as

Year ending September 30, 1992 is $120,000.
THE PARKING SYSTEM
System Facilities
As of September 30, 1991, the Department managed
approximately 21,274 spaces, including 5 garages, 62 surface
lots, and 7,432 on -street street meters. The Department provides
parking for over 72,000 vehicles daily.
Many of these spaces serve the central business district
of the City; in addition, important segments of the Parking
System serve the outlying areas of Coconut Grove, Little Havana,
the Civic Center, Jackson Memorial Hospital, Brickell Avenue, the
Design Plaza, the Omni Mall and shopping area and the Edison
Business District. The Board has made a policy decision to
operate throughout the City in order to expand service and to
reduce dependency on downtown economic conditions.
The composition of, and recent changes in, the total
number of spaces contained within the Parking System are
"reflected in the following table:

(1) In 1988 the Department added approximately 2,800 spaces to serve the
parking requirement of the newly -built Miami ARena, home to The Miami
Heat basketball franchise.
(2) From January 1986 through January 1992, the Department managed the
operation of the 1,200 space Bayside Garage, located at the Bayside
Marketplace. The facility was developed jointly by The Rouse Company
and The City of Miami. Upon the expiration of the management
agreement on January 8, 1992, The Rouse Company assumed management of
the facility.
The principal facilities owned by the Department are:
o Municipal Garages Nos. 1, 2, 3 (2,437 spaces)
o Municipal Lots Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 19, 21, 27 &
35 (1,119 spaces)
Facilities operated by the Department under management
or lease agreements include:
o City of Miami -
International Place and Government Center
Garages and Municipal Lot Nos. 1, 24, 28, and 57-60
(4,640 spaces);
o Metropolitan Dade County -
Municipal Lot Nos. 18, 22, 23, 26, 34, 44, 45 and
46 (1,429 spaces);
o State of Florida -
Municipal Lot Nos. 6, 11-17, 29, 30, 32, 33, 36-39,
42, 49-56 (2,674 spaces);
o Miami Dade Community College -

o Martin Luther King Economic Development Corporation
and R.J. Properties -
Municipal Lot No. 7 (66 spaces);
o Florida East Coast Railroad -
Municipal Lot Nos. 61, 62, and 63 (1,005 spaces).
The Department manages, under separate management
agreements, the operations of the Downtown Government Center
Garage and International Place for the City. Under the terms of
the agreements, the Department receives a management fee based on
a percentage of gross revenues for each garage, which is recorded
as revenue from management and administrative fees on the
Department's financial statements. Because all ownership rights
and ultimate financial responsibility for these operations are
held by the City, respectively, these operations are excluded
from the Department's reporting entity.
Additional Operations
In addition to on -street and off-street parking
operations, the Department shares responsibility with the City of
Miami Police Department for the ticketing and towing of illegally
parked vehicles. The Department also shares responsibility with
Metropolitan Dade County for enforcement of parking regulations.
Although the Department participates in these enforcement and
regulatory responsibilities, the Department receives no parking
fine revenue. All parking fine revenue generated within the City
is collected by the Metropolitan Dade County Clerk of the Circuit
and County Courts, and is allocated to the City (66.67 percent)
and Metropolitan Dade County (33.33 percent). Such parking fine
revenues are not treated as revenues of the Parking System and
are not included as Net Revenues pledged to the Bonds. During
Fiscal Year 1990/91, Department traffic management enforcement
efforts generated approximately $683,790 in parking fine revenue
for the City and $341,895 for Metropolitan Dade County.
A unique non -parking related responsibility of the
Department is the management of the historic 1,700 seat Gusman
Center for the Performing Arts and the Olympia Office Building
owned by the City. The Gusman Center and Olympia Building
Complex was donated to the City in 1975 by its benefactor,
Maurice Gusman, with the stipulation that the facility be managed
by the Department. The City provides deficit funding, as
necessary, to operate the facility. The operation of the complex
is accounted for as a separate enterprise fund of the Department.
Parking Consultant
Since 198.4, the Department has designated the
engineering firm of Desman Associates as their Parking
Consultant. The Department has engaged the firm to provide
03249/GAR55001/AA4
6 0
various studies and inspections of the System. In their last
Inspection of the System in March, 1991, Desman Associates found
the facilities and equipment to be in good condition. Attached
as Appendix B is the Report of the Parking Consultant, dated
January 29, 1992.
System Rates and Charges
The Department monitors the daily revenue collections of
its parking garages with a computerized revenue collection
system. Parking lots and garages are monitored with daily
revenue reports. Meter locations are monitored with a
computerized analytical system which allows monitoring of meters
by zones as small as a single City block. The Department reviews
the rates and revenues of the Parking System monthly and annually
as part of the budget process. The present policy of the Board
is to keep the rates of the Parking System comparable to similar
public and private facilities.
The chief factors which cause rate changes include: (I)
a change in the demand for a facility and (ii) a change in the
rates charged by nearby similar parking facilities. Parking
meters are removed from unprofitable areas provided such a
removal will not have an adverse effect on an adjacent profitable
facility. At present, it is the policy of the Department to
establish rates at a level necessary to ensure a minimum of 1.5
times debt service coverage; the Department has covenanted in the
Ordinance to maintain a 1.25 times debt service coverage.
All rate changes must be submitted to the Board for
adoption. Rate changes adopted by the Board must subsequently be
submitted to the City Commission for ratification. The City
Commission delegates to the Board the ability to set rates on an
"experimental basis" for less than one year in order to enable
the Board and Department to react quickly to changing
environmental factors and to open new facilities during the
Fiscal Year without the need to amend the rate ordinance.
The current rate structure of the Department provides,
as follows:
o On Street Meter Rates consist of $.25, $.50, $.75,
or $1.00 per hour depending on the specific
location of the Meter.
o On Street Monthly Permit Rates range from $10.00 to
$25.00 per month.
o Off Street Surface Lot Rate structure ranges from
$8.00 to $33.00 per month.
o Garage Rates range from $60.00 to $88.00 per month.

(1) The Statements of Revenues and Expenses of the Department of Off -
Street Parking of the city of Miami, Florida for the Years Ended
September 30, 1990 and 1991 have been examined by Coopers & Lybrand,
Independent Certified Public Accountants. Their Opinion for the
Years ended September 30, 1990 and 1991 appears in Appendix A of this
Official Statement.
(2) Operating Expenses exclude interest and depreciation expense.
REPORT OF THE PARKING CONSULTANTS
The Report of Desman Associates, to the Department,
dated J. 1992, which appears as Appendix B hereto, sets
forth the projected operating results for each of the five Fiscal
Years from 1992 through 1996. The report of the Parking
Consultants should be read in its entirety, including the
considerations and assumptions upon which it is based.
Assumptions of Parking Consultants
In the preparation of the forecast of future operations
summarized in their report, the Parking Consultants have made
certain assumptions with respect to conditions, events, and
circumstances which may occur in the future. While the Parking
Consultants believe such assumptions are reasonable and
attainable for the purpose of forecasting the future operations
of the Parking System, the actual results may differ from those
forecast, as influenced by the conditions, events, and
circumstances which may occur. The principal assumptions used in
the forecast of future operations are as follows:
1. The revenues will decrease in 1992 compared to
1991.
2. From 1992 through 1996, the conditions will be
nearly stable.
3. The revenues will increase at the rate of
approximately one percent per year from 1992
through 1996 due to increased use and/or rate
increases.
4. The 1992 operating expenses will be approximately
as budgeted by the Department.
5. The operating expenses will increase at the rate of
approximately two percent per year for the period
1992 through 1996.
27
03249/GAR55001/AA4
Conclusions of the Parking Consultants
Based on their analysis, investigations, and the
assumptions stated herein, the Parking Consultants are of the
opinion that:
1. The forecast of revenues, operation and maintenance
expenses, and debt service payments for the period Fiscal Year
1992 to Fiscal Year 1996 reasonably reflect the expected
financial operations of the Department.
2. The projected financial operation of the Department
will be in compliance with the covenants contained in the
Ordinance with respect to rates for use of the System and debt
service coverage.
3. The Net Revenues of the Department will exceed that
required by the Ordinance after issuance of the Series 1992A
Bonds. The debt service coverage ratio is estimated to be 1.50
or more compared to the required 1.25.
4. The Parking Consultant does not know of any major
facilities which are likely to be developed within the next five
years.
5. While the Parking Consultants have not conducted a
detailed review of the Department's forecast of routine annual
capital expenditures, the firm has reviewed the overall level of
routine capital expenditures over the Fiscal Year 1992 to Fiscal
Year 1996 period and such level is considered reasonable and
necessary to maintain the System facilities in good working
order.
Projected Financial Operations
A summary of projected financial operations of the
Department as prepared by the Parking Consultants is presented
below, along with a statement of forecast debt service coverage.
The forecast of financial operations of the Department illustrate
the ability to generate sufficient revenues to provide adequate
debt service coverage and sufficient funds to support the
Department's operations through Fiscal Year 1996. No adjustment
to existing rates is indicated during the forecast period. [
Annual revenues are expected to be adequate to meet all financial
requirements of the Department including routine capital
expenditures for the Fiscal Year 1992 to Fiscal Year 1996
period.]

LITIGATION
1992A Bonds. There is no litigation pending that (i)
seeks to restrain or enjoin the issuance or delivery of the 1992A
Bonds or the proceedings or authority under which they are to be
issued, (ii) contests the creation, organization, or existence of
the City or of the Department, or (iii) in any manner questions
the right of the City to receive or pledge the Net Revenues to
repayment of the 1992A Bonds.
General. The City experiences routine litigation and
claims incidental to the conduct of its affairs. In the opinion
of the City Attorney, there are no lawsuits presently pending or
threatened, the adverse outcome of which would impair the City's
ability to perform its obligations to the Registered Owners of
the 1992A Bonds.
INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
The financial statements of the City of Miami, Florida,
Department of Off -Street Parking at September 30, 1990 and 1991
and for each of the two Fiscal Years in the period ended
September 30, 1991, appended hereto (Appendix A) as part of the
Official Statement, have been audited by Coopers & Lybrand,
Certified Public Accountants, as set forth in their report dated
December 20, 1991, which report is appended hereto.
LEGALITY
Legal matters incident to the issuance of the 1992A
Bonds and with regard to the tax-exempt status of the interest on
the 1992A Bonds (see "TAX EXEMPTION") are subject to the legal
opinion of Holland & Knight, Miami, Florida, and Kubicki, Draper,
Gallagher & McGrane, P.A., Miami, Florida, whose legal services
as Co -Bond Counsel have been retained by the City. The signed
legal opinion, dated and premised on law in effect as of the date
of original delivery of the 1992A Bonds, will be delivered to the
Underwriters at the time of original delivery, and the text of
the opinion will be printed on the 1992A Bonds.
The proposed text of the legal opinion is set forth as
Appendix E. The actual legal opinion to be delivered may vary
from that text, if necessary, to reflect facts and law on the
date of delivery. The opinion will speak only as of its date,
and subsequent distribution of it by recirculation of the
Official Statement or otherwise shall create no implication that
Co -Bond Counsel has reviewed or expresses any opinion concerning
any of the matters referenced in the opinion subsequent to its
date.
30
03249;GAR55001/AA4
Co -Bond Counsel will also opine on the date of issuance
of the 1992A Bonds that the statements contained herein under the
Sections captioned "Description of the Bonds" (other than the
portion thereof captioned "Book -Entry Provisions") and "Security
for the 1992A Bonds", to the extent such Sections purport to
summarize portions of the Ordinance, constitute fair summaries of
the portions of the Ordinance purported to be summarized therein,
and the statements contained in the Section captioned "Tax
Exemption; Income Tax Effects" are accurate. Except with respect
to the foregoing matters, Co -Bond Counsel has not undertaken
independently to verify, and therefore expresses no opinion as
to, any of the information or statements contained in this
Official Statement, or any exhibits, schedules, or attachments
hereto.
Certain legal matters will be passed on for the City by
A. Quinn Jones, III, Esquire, City Attorney. Certain legal
matters will be passed on by Squire, Sanders & Dempsey, Miami,
Florida, Counsel to the Underwriters.
TAX EXEMPTION; INCOME TAX EFFECTS
In the opinion of Holland & Knight, Miami, Florida, and
Kubicki, Draper, Gallagher & McGrane, P.A., Miami, Florida, Co -
Bond Counsel, under existing law, the 1992A Bonds are exempt from
present Florida intangible personal property taxes. Also, in the
opinion of Co -Bond Counsel, under existing law, interest on the
1992A Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax
purposes. The opinion of Co -Bond Counsel is conditioned upon
compliance by the City with covenants in the Ordinance to comply
with certain arbitrage rebate and other tax requirements
contained in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), to the extent necessary to preserve the exclusion of
interest on the 1992A Bonds from gross income for federal income
tax purposes. If the City fails to comply with such covenants,
interest on the 1992A Bonds could become includable in the gross
income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes
retroactive to the date of issuance. -
Certain of the 1992A Bonds have been offered to the
public at original issue discount (the "Discount 1992A Bonds").
The original issue discount is the excess of the stated
redemption price at maturity of the Discount Series 1992A bonds,
so increased, over the aggregate initial offering price to the
public (excluding underwriters and other intermediaries) at which
price a substantial amount of each maturity of the Discount
Series 1992A Bonds was sold. Under existing law, an appropriate
portion of any original issue discount, depending in part on the
period a Discount Series 1992A Bond is held by the purchaser
thereof, will be treated for .federal income tax purposes as
interest which is excludable from gross income rather than as
taxable gain. Under Section 1288 of the Code, original issue
discount on tax-exempt bonds accrues on a compound basis. The
31
03249/GAR55001/AA4 " '�'
amount of original issue discount that accrues to a holder of a
Discount Series 1992A Bond who acquires the Discount Series 1992A
Bond in this offering during any accrual period would generally
equal (i) the issue price of such Discount Series 1992A Bond plus
the amount of original issue discount accrued in all prior
accrual periods, multiplied by (ii) the yield to maturity of such
Discount Series 1992A Bond (determined on the basis of
compounding at the close of each accrual period and properly
adjusted for the length of accrual period), less (III) any
Interest payable on such Series Discount 1992A Bond during such
accrual period. The amount of original issue discount so accrued
in a particular accrual period would be considered to be received
ratably on each day of the accrual period, would be excluded from
gross income for federal income tax purposes and would increase
the holder's tax basis in such Discount Series 1992A Bond.
Proceeds from the sale, exchange, payment or redemption of a
Discount Series 1992A Bond in excess of the holder's adjusted
basis (as increased by the amount of original issue discount
which has accrued and would be treated as tax-exempt interest in
his hands) would be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of
such Discount Series 1992A Bond and not as interest. The federal
income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and
redemption, sale or other disposition of Discount Series 1992A
Bonds which are not purchased in the initial offering at the
initial offering price may be determined according to uses which
differ from those described above. Owners of Discount Series
1992A Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to
the original issue discount consequences of owning Discount
Series 1992A Bonds.
An alternative minimum tax is imposed by the Code on
corporations at a twenty percent (2o%) rate and on taxpayers
other than corporations at a twenty-four percent (24%) rate in
taxable years beginning after December 31, 1990 (and at a twenty-
one percent (21%) rate in taxable years beginning before January
1, 1991). Interest on the 1992A Bonds will not be treated as an
item of tax preference for purposes of the alternative minimum
tax. Interest on the 1992A Bonds will therefore not be included
alternative minimum taxable income of taxpayers other than
corporations. Interest on the 1992A Bonds received by a
corporate Bondholder will, however, be included in such
Bondholder's adjusted current earnings. A corporation's
alternative minimum taxable income will be increased by seventy-
five percent (75%) of the corporation's adjusted current earnings
included in its alternative minimum taxable income.

Other potential federal income tax consequences to
Holders of the 1992A Bonds include the following:
32 c c� i c
03249/GAR55001/AA4 1
� " AL -��`
1. Environmental Superfund Tax. Section 59A of the
Code imposes for taxable years beginning before January 1, 1996,
an additional tax on corporations at a rate of .12 percent on the
excess over $2,000,000 of a corporation's "modified alternative
minimum taxable income." Interest on the 1992A Bonds received by
a corporation will be included in the determination of such
Bondholder's "modified alternative minimum taxable income."
2. Financial Institutions and Prourty and Casualty
Insurance Companies. Section 265 of the Code provides that a
inan ial institution holding 1992A Bonds will be denied any
deduction for its interest expense allocable to such 1992A Bonds.
Under Section 832(b)(5)(B) of the Code, insurance companies
subject to tax imposed by Section 831 of the Code (including
property and casualty insurance companies) will be required to
reduce the amount of their deductible underwriting losses by 15%
of the amount of tax-exempt interest received from investments
made after August 7, 1986, including investments in the 1992A
Bonds.
3. Social Security and Railroad Retirement Benefits.
Under Section 86 of the Code, recipients of certain social
security benefits and railroad retirement benefits may be
required to include a portion of such benefits within gross
income by reason of receipt of interest on the 1992A Bonds.
4. S Corporations. Section 1375 of the Code imposes a
tax on the income of an S corporation having Subchapter C
earnings and profits at the close of a taxable year, if greater
than twenty-five percent (25%) of the gross receipts of such S
corporation is passive investment income. Interest on the 1992A
Bonds will be included in an S corporation's passive investment
income.
5. Foreign Corporation Branch Offices Tax. Section 884
of the Code imposes a branch profits on foreign corporations
equal to 30 percent of the "divided equivalent amount" for the
taxable year. Interest on the 1992A Bonds would be taken into
account in determining a foreign corporation's dividend
equivalent amount" to the extent such interest is effectively
connection (or treated as effectively connected) with the foreign
corporation's conduct of a trade or business within the United
States.
These and other provisions of the Code may give rise to
adverse federal income tax consequences to particular
Bondholders. Owners of the 1992A Bonds should consult their own
tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of owning 1992A
Bonds.

GENERAL INFORMATION CONCERNING
THE CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA
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
as of April 1, 1990 was 383,000. According to estimates of the
City, the population is expected to increase to 400,00 by the
year 2000.
Government of the City
The City has operated under the Commission -City Manager
form of government since 1921. The Commission consists of five
elected citizens, who are qualified voters in the City, one of
whom serves as Mayor. The Commission acts as the governing body
of the City with powers to enact ordinances, adopt resolutions
and appoint a chief administrative officer known as the City
Manager. The City Clerk and City Attorney, as well as members of
the Planning Advisory Board, the Zoning Board, the City of Miami
Health Facilities Authority and the Miami Sports and Exhibition
Authority are also appointed by the City Commission. Members of
C-1
the Off -Street Parking Board and the Downtown Development
Authority are appointed by the respective bodies and confirmed by
the City Commission.
City elections are held in November every two years on a
non -partisan basis. Candidates for Mayor must run as such and
not for the Commission in general. At each election, two or
three members of the Commission are elected for four-year terms.
Thus, the terms are staggered so that there are always at least
two experienced members on the Commission.

Regional Government Services
The following information and data concerning the County
describes the regional government services the County provides
for its residents, including residents of the City.
The County is, in effect, a municipality with
governmental powers effective upon the 27 cities in, and the
unincorporated areas of, the County. The County does not
displace or replace the cities but supplements them by providing
certain governmental services. The County can take over
particular activities of a city's operations (1) if the services
fall below minimum standards set by the Board of County
Commissioners of the County (the "County Commission"), or (2)
with the consent of the governing body of such city.
Since its inception, the County government has assumed
responsibility for a number of functions, including delivery of
County -wide police services, which complement municipal police
services within the municipalities, with direct access to the
National Crime Information Center in Washington, D.C. and the

of fire protection services, which complement municipal fire
protection services within four municipalities and provide full
service fire protection for twenty-three municipalities which
have consolidated their fire departments with the County's fire
department; management of a consolidated two-tier court system
pursuant to the revision of Article v of the Florida Constitution
which became effective on January 1, 1973; the development and

ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC DATA
Introduction and Recent Developments
The City's diversified economic base is comprised of
light manufacturing, trade, commerce, wholesale and retail trade,
and tourism. While the City's share of Florida's tourist trade
remains an important economic force, the great gains the City has
made in the areas of banking, international business, real estate
and transhipment have fortified the economic base.
Major capital improvements have allowed the City or the
County to accommodate and foster rapid expansion. The Port of
Miami has almost doubled in size, from 325 acres to 600 acres
through a $250 million expansion program completed in 1981. The
Port expansion program is designed to move 16 million tons of
cargo and four million cruise ship passengers a year by the year
2000.
Miami International Airport is undergoing $1.0 billion
expansion program. A seven story 7,500 space parking structure,
directly across from the main terminal, has been completed. An
elevated pedestrian sky bridge, opened in early 1985, connects
the parking structure to the main terminal. Other projects
include the construction of a direct connector road to the
airport expressway, and a cargo tunnel. Expansion and
modernization of passenger gate areas continues in order to
accommodate the increase in domestic and international passenger
traffic.
Downtown Miami experienced unprecedented growth during
the 1980's particularly in the development of commercial office
space. Completed projects represent an estimated investment of
public and private funds in excess of $2.4 billion.
Bayside
The Rouse Company, a leading builder of specialty
marketplaces in downtown waterfront settings, has developed the
Bayside Specialty Center on twenty acres of City -owned property
along the waterfront in Downtown Miami. The project currently
features 235,000 square feet of retail space. Total project cost
was $128 million, with City participation limited to a $4 million
investment in infrastructure improvements. The Bayside Parking
Garage, located adjacent to the Specialty Center, contains 1,200
parking spaces.
C-5
s? JrAR�.�P_Nfas3-
Bayfront Park
Bayfront Park, adjacent to the Bayside project area,
currently is being redeveloped at a total project cost in excess
of $20 million. More than fifty percent (50%) of the project
financing has been secured by the City through a variety of
Federal, State and private funding sources.
Southeast Overtown/Parkwest
The Southeast Overtown/Parkwest Redevelopment Program
entails the redevelopment of 200 acres of prime real estate,
adjacent to the central business district, for new residential
commercial activity. The general redevelopment concept for the
project area is the provision of a wide range of housing
opportunities, with supporting commercial uses, to serve the
area's future population. By the end of the century the project
area is envisioned to have the capacity to support over 9,000
residential units and over one million square feet of commercial
space. The City has been delegated limited redevelopment powers
for the implementation of the redevelopment plan. Public sector
involvement will focus on land acquisition, resident relocation,
demolition, project marketing, infrastructure improvements and
construction and, in some instances, the provision of "gap"
financing. The City has estimated that over $1.0 billion in
private investment will occur during the next 20 years. Phase I
[Re]development is under way with 1,200 units. Public
infrastructure work, including utilities, street improvements and
pedestrian amenities, is now being designed for implementation in
conjunction with the private development. Total public
investment in Phase I Redevelopment is over $58 million. New
private construction in the amount of $200 million is programmed
to occur over the next five years for a total of 1,900
residential units and 250,000 square feet of commercial space.
Miami Arena
The County levies a 3% Convention Development Tax on
hotel rooms, of which the City receives one-third. This tax is
received by the Miami Sports and Exhibition Authority to finance
its operations and debt service cost. The most significant
project financed by the Authority is the Miami Arena located
within the Southeast Overtown/Park West redevelopment area, home
to the Miami Heat of the National Basketball Association and the
University of Miami Hurricanes. This 300,000 square feet multi-
purpose facility, completed in 1988 at a total cost of $48
million, accommodates up to 15,600 spectators.
Corporate Expansion
The favorable geographic location of Greater Miami, the
trained commercial and industrial labor force and the favorable
transportation facilities have caused the economic base of the
��.
mum
il 0
area to expand by attracting to the area many national and
international firms doing business in Latin America. In Greater
Miami, over 100 international corporations have set up
hemispheric operations. Among them are such corporations as Dow
Chemical, Gulf Oil Corporation, Owens-Corning Fiberglass
Corporation, American Hospital Supply, Coca-Cola Interamerican
Corporation, Ocean Chemicals, Inc., a subsidiary of Rohm & Hass

Harvester, Johns Manville International, Minnesota (3-M) Export,
Inc., Pfizer Latin America Royal Export, United Fruit, Baccus
Electronics and Kraft.
Industrial Development
Greater Miami contains over one hundred million square
feet of industrial space. Manufacturing concerns account for
nearly half of the occupied industrial space and storage
companies occupy an additional 35% of the City's industrial
space. Transportation and service companies occupy the bulk of
the remaining 15% of the City's industrial space.
The Industrial Development Authority (IDA) of the County
reports that approximately two-thirds of Greater Miami's
industrial firms own their facilities. There are currently 37
industrial parks in Greater Miami.
Greater Miami's apparel industry is one of the largest
in the nation, primarily consisting of numerous small firms
rather than a few large operations. Approximately 30,000 jobs
are provided by nearly 500 manufacturers. Florida apparel firms,
most of which have their principal facilities in the Miami area,
shipped $849 million of merchandise in 1980, a 56% increase over
1970 figures.
Financial Institutions
The County is second only to New York in the
concentration of international and Edge Acts Banks in North
America; approximately 41 foreign banks branches and 10
representative offices are presently operating in the County.
Additionally, there are 29 Edge Act Banks that are located in the
Miami area. These include: Bank America International, Bankers
Trust International, Banco de Santander International, Chase Bank
International, Citibank International, Irvin Trust, American
Express Bank International, Manufacturer's Hanover International,
and Morgan Guaranty International. The Federal Reserve System
has established a branch office in the County to assist the
Atlanta office with financial transactions in the South Florida
area.

The Port of Miami (the "Port") is owned by the County

the Port's convenient location combine to make the Port the
nation's leading export port to the Western Hemisphere. From
1981 to 1990 the total cargo handled increased from approximately
2.7 million tons to over 3.5 million tons, an increase of 30%.
