Citizens and Southern National Bank of Florida, or its successors
-2-
92- 462
or assigns, as Bond Registrar and Paying Agent (the "Bond
Registrar and paying Agent") in the City of Ft. Lauderdale,
Florida. Interest on the Bonds shall be paid by check or draft
drawn upon the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent and mailed to the
registered owners of the Bonds at the addresses as they appear on
the registration books maintained by the Bond Registrar and
Paying Agent at the close of business on the 15th day (whether or
not a business day) of the month next preceding the interest
payment date (the "Record Date"), irrespective of any transfer or
exchange of such Bonds subsequent to such Record Date and prior
to such interest payment date, unless the Issuer shall be in
default in payment of interest due on such interest payment date.
In the event of any such default, such defaulted interest shall
be payable to the persons in whose names such Bonds are
registered at the close of business on a special record date
(which date shall also be the date for the payment of such
defaulted interest) as established by notice deposited in the
U.S. mail, postage prepaid, by the Issuer to the registered
owners of the Bonds not less than fifteen (15) days preceding
such special record date. Such notice shall be mailed to the
persons in whose names the Bonds are registered at the close of
business on the fifth (5th) day (whether or not a business day)
preceding the date of mailing. The registration of any Bond may
be transferred upon the registration books upon delivery thereof
to the principal office of the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent
accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in
form and with guaranty of signature satisfactory to the Bond
Registrar and Paying Agent, duly executed by the registered owner
of the Bond or his attorney -in -fact or legal representative,
containing written instructions as to the details of the transfer
of such Bond, along with the social security number or federal
employer identification number of such transferee. In all cases
of a transfer of a Bond, the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent
shall at the earliest practical time in accordance with the terms
hereof enter the transfer of ownership in the registration books
and shall deliver in the name of the new transferee or
transferees a new, fully registered Bond or Bonds of the same
maturity and of authorized denomination or denominations, for the
same aggregate principal amount and payable from the same source
of funds. The Issuer and the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent may
charge the registered owner of the Bond for the registration of
every transfer or exchange of a Bond an amount sufficient to
reimburse them for any tax, fee or any other governmental charge
required (other than by the Issuer) to be paid with respect to
the registration of such transfer, and may require that such
amounts be paid before any such new Bond shall be delivered.
The Issuer and the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent may
deem and treat the registered owner of any Bond as of the
applicable Record Date as the absolute owner of such Bond for the
purpose of receiving payment of the principal thereof and the
interest and premiums, if any, thereon. Bonds may be exchanged
at the office of the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent for a like
-3-
92- 462
aggregate principal amount of Bonds, of other authorized denom-
inations of the same series and maturity.
B. As set forth above, the Bonds shall be dated
August 1, 1992, shall bear interest from the date thereof,
payable semiannually on the f irst day of February and the f i.rst
day of August of each year, commencing on February 1, 1993, and
shall mature as set forth in Section 3 hereof.
C. CUSIP numbers will be imprinted on the Bonds;
however, the validity, sale, delivery or acceptance of the Bonds
will not be affected in any manner by any error in printing CUSIP
numbers on any of the Bonds.
D. The Bonds shall be executed in the name of the
Issuer by the Mayor or Vice Mayor of the Issuer and the seal of
the Issuer shall be imprinted, reproduced or lithographed on the
Bonds and attested to and countersigned by the Clerk or any
Deputy Clerk of the Issuer. In addition, the City Attorney or
any Assistant City Attorney shall sign the Bonds, showing
approval of the form and correctness thereof, and the Mayor or
Vice Mayor shall sign the validation certificate with respect to
the Bonds. The signatures of the Mayor, Vice Mayor, Clerk,
Deputy Clerk, City Attorney and Assistant City Attorney on the
Bonds may be by facsimile. If any officer whose signature
appears on the Bonds ceases to hold office before the delivery of
the Bonds, his signature shall nevertheless be valid and
sufficient for all purposes. In addition, any Bond may bear the
signature of, or may be signed by, such persons as at the actual
time of execution of such Bond shall be the proper officers to
sign such Bond although at the date of such Bond or the date of
delivery thereof such persons may not have been such officers.
Only such of the Bonds as shall have endorsed thereon a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form herein-
after set forth in Section 4.K hereof, duly executed by the Bond
Registrar and Paying Agent, shall be entitled to any right or
benefit under this Resolution. No Bond shall be valid or
obligatory for any purpose unless and until such certificate of
authentication shall have been duly executed by the Bond
Registrar and Paying Agent, and such certificate of the Bond
Registrar and Paying Agent upon any such Bond shall be conclusive
evidence that such Bond has been duly authenticated and delivered
under this Resolution. The Bond Registrar and Paying Agent's
certificate of authentication on any Bond shall be deemed to have
been duly executed if signed by an authorized officer of the Bond
Registrar and Paying Agent, but it shall not be necessary that
the same officer sign the certificate of authentication on all of
the Bonds that may be issued hereunder at any one time.
E. If any Bond is mutilated, destroyed, stolen or
lost, the Issuer or its agent may, in its discretion, (i) deliver
a duplicate replacement Bond or (ii) pay a Bond that has matured
or is about to mature. A mutilated Bond shall be surrendered to
-4-
92-- 462
and canceled by the Clerk of the Issuer or his duly authorized
agent. The registered owner of a Bond must furnish the Issuer or
its agent proof of ownership of any destroyed, stolen or lost
Bond, post satisfactory indemnity, comply with any reasonable
conditions the Issuer or its agent may prescribe and pay the
Issuer or its agent's reasonable expenses.
Any such duplicate Bond shall constitute an original
contractual obligation on the part of the Issuer whether or not
the destroyed, stolen or lost Bond shall be at any time found by
anyone, and such duplicate Bond shall be entitled to equal and
proportionate benefits and rights as to lien on, and source of
payment of and security for payment from, the funds pledged to
the payment of the Bond so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost.
F. The Bonds maturing on August 1, 2003, or
thereafter, shall be subject to redemption at the option of the
Issuer prior to their maturity on or after August 1, 2002, in
whole at any time or in part on any interest payment date, in
inverse order of maturities and by lot within a maturity in such
manner as the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent may determine at
par, plus accrued interest to the redemption date.
Notice of redemption shall be given by deposit in the
U.S. mail of a copy of a redemption notice, postage prepaid, at
least thirty (30) and not more than sixty (60) days before the
redemption date to all registered owners of the Bonds or portions
of the Bonds to be redeemed at their addresses as they appear on
the registration books to be maintained in accordance with the
provisions hereof. Failure to mail any such notice to a regis-
tered owner of a Bond, or any defect therein, shall not affect
the validity of the proceedings for redemption of any Bond or
portion thereof with respect to which no failure or defect
occurred.
Such notice shall set forth the date fixed for
redemption, the rate of interest borne by each Bond being
redeemed, the date of publication, if any, of a notice of
redemption, the name and address of the Bond Registrar and Paying
Agent, the redemption price to be paid and, if less than all of
the Bonds then outstanding shall be called for redemption, the
distinctive numbers and letters, including CUSIP numbers, if any,
of such Bonds to be redeemed and, in the case of Bonds to be
redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount
thereof to be redeemed. If any Bond is to be redeemed in part
only, the notice of redemption which relates to such Bond shall
also state that on or after the redemption date, upon surrender
of such Bond, a new Bond or Bonds in a principal amount equal to
the unredeemed portion of such Bond will be issued.
Any notice mailed as provided in this section shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the
owner of such Bond receives such notice.
ME
92- 462
In addition to the mailing of the notice described
above, each notice of redemption and payment of the redemption
price shall meet the requirements set forth in (i), (ii) and
(iii) below; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other
provision of this Resolution to the contrary, failure of such
notice or payment to comply with the terms of this paragraph
shall not in any manner_ defeat the effectiveness of a call for
redemption if notice thereof is given as otherwise prescribed
above in this Section 4.F:
(i) Each notice of redemption shall be sent at
least thirty-five (35) days before the redemption date
by registered or certified mail or overnight delivery

Bonds and to one or more national information services
that disseminate notices of redemption of obligations
such as the Bonds.
(ii) Each notice of redemption shall be published
one time in THE BOND BUYER, New York, New York or, if
such publication is impractical or unlikely to reach a

similar to the Bonds, such publication to be made at
least thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for
redemption.
(iii) Upon the payment of the redemption price of
the Bonds being redeemed, each check or other transfer
of funds issued for such purpose shall bear the CUSIP
number identifying, by issue and maturity, the Bonds
being redeemed with the proceeds of such check or other

The Bond Registrar and Paying Agent shall not be
required to transfer or exchange any Bond after the publication
and mailing of a notice of redemption nor during the period of
fifteen (15) days next preceding publication and mailing of a
notice of redemption.
G. Notice having been given in the manner and under
the conditions hereinabove provided, the Bonds or portions of
Bonds so called for redemption shall, on the redemption date
designated in such notice, become and be due and payable at the
redemption price provided for redemption for such Bonds or
portions of Bonds on such date. On the date so designated for

in separate accounts by the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent in
trust for the registered owners of the Bonds or portions thereof
to be redeemed, all as provided in this Resolution, interest on
the Bonds or portions of Bonds so called for redemption shall

principal amount thereof so called for redemption, and the Issuer
shall execute and deliver to or upon the order of such registered
owner, without charge therefor, for the unredeemed balance of the
principal amount of the Bond so surrendered, a Bond or Bonds
fully registered as to principal and interest in an authorized
denomination.

thereof, as provided in this Resolution, shall not be deemed to
be outstanding under the provisions of this Resolution and shall
cease to be entitled to any lien, benefit or security under this
Resolution, except to receive the payment of the redemption price

sent to all registered securities depositories holding
substantial amounts of obligations similar in type to the Series

Ordinances and Resolutions were enacted and adopted pursuant to
Chapter 166, Florida Statutes, the Constitution of the State of
Florida, including, but not limited to, its Article VII, Section
2, the City's Charter and other applicable provisions of law.
Validation
The Series 1992 Bonds are one of a series of storm water
improvement bonds that were validated and confirmed by a Judgment
of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court in and for Dade County,
Florida rendered on July 11, 1984. No appeal was taken from that
Judgment and the time for taking an appeal has expired.

Pledge of Ad valorem Taxes
The Series 1992 Bonds are general obligations of the City
for which its full faith, credit and taxing power have been
irrevocably pledged. The Series 1992 Bonds are payable from
unlimited ad valorem taxes levied on all taxable property located
In the City (excluding homestead exemptions as required by
applicable law). The City has covenanted in the Resolution that
it will diligently enforce its right to receive tax revenues and
will levy and collect such taxes. The City has further
covenanted therein that it will not take any action that will
impair or adversely affect its rights to levy, collect and
receive taxes, or impair or adversely affect in any manner the
pledge made therein on the rights of the holders of the Bonds.
The taxes assessed, levied and collected for the security and
payment of the Series 1992 Bonds are required, pursuant to the
terms of the Resolution, to be assessed, levied and collected in
the same manner and at the same time as other_ ad valorem taxes
are assessed and collected and the proceeds of said taxes, except
as described above and in the Resolution, are to be applied
solely to the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on general obligation bonds of the City.
Under Florida law, all taxable real property and tangible
personal property must be assessed at fair market value, with
some exceptions. Real and personal property valuations are
determined each year as of January 1 by the Property Appraiser's
office. The assessment roll is prepared between January 1 and
July 1, with each taxpayer given notice by mail in August or
September of any increase in assessment.
The property owner has the right to file an appeal with the
Property Appraiser Adjustment Board, which considers petitions
relating to assessments and exemptions. The Property Appraisal
Adjustment Board certifies the assessment roll upon completion of
the hearing of all appeals. Millage rates are then computed by
the various taking authorities and certified to the Property
Appraiser, who applies the millage rates to the assessment roll.
This procedure creates the tax roll, which is then turned over to
the Tax Collector on or about the first Monday in October.
The Florida Constitution entitles each permanent resident of
the State to a $25,000 homestead exemption on their primary
residential property.
All real and tangible personal property taxes are due and
payable on November 1 of each year, or as soon thereafter as the
tax roll is certified and delivered to the Tax Collector. A
notice is mailed to each property owner on the tax roll for taxes
levied by the County, school board and other taxing authorities.
Taxes may be paid upon receipt of such notice, with discounts at
the rate of 4% if paid in the month of November; 3% if paid in
M21
92- 462
the month of December; 2% if paid in the month of January; and 1%
if paid in the month of February. Taxes paid during the month of
March are without discount. All unpaid real and tangible
personal property taxes become delinquent on April 1 of the year
following the year in which the taxes are levied.
The delinquent real property taxes bear interest at the rate
of 18% per year from April 1 until a certificate is sold at
auction, from which time the interest rate shall be as bid by the
buyer of the certificate. Delinquent tangible personal property
taxes also bear interest at a rate of 18% per year from April 1
until paid. Delinquent personal property taxes must be
advertised within forty-five days after delinquency, and after
May 1 the property is subject to levy, seizure and sale.
State law provides that tax liens are superior to all other
liens, except prior United States Internal Revenue Service liens.
The Tax Collector advertises once each week for four (4)
consecutive weeks and sells tax certificates on or before July 1
for unpaid tax bills. Tax certificates not sold at auction
become the property of the City.

PROJECT
The City Commission has approved the expenditure of funds
for various storm sewer projects located within the municipal
-8-
92- 462

for the purpose of paying the cost of construction of storm
sewers, pumping stations, outlets, culverts over or enclosing
streams, wells, other types of local drainage facilities, the
resurfacing of damaged streets and sidewalks, and the acquisition
of land, if necessary. The City has already commenced work on
some of the projects for which it will be reimbursed from the
proceeds of the Series 1992 Bonds. The balance of the proceeds
will be used to pay the cost of completing the projects under
construction and the ones which have not been undertaken as of
the date of this Official Statement. A breakdown of the proposed
storm water projects, with the amounts funded to date and the
balance to be funded, is as follows:

LEGAL DEBT LIMITATIONS
The Florida Constitution
Article VII, Section 12 of the Florida Constitution requires
the approval of a majority of all qualified electors residing
within the municipal boundaries of a municipality prior to the
issuance by that municipality of bonds payable from ad valorem
taxes assessed by the municipality and maturing more than 12
months after the bonds are issued. Once the bonds, referred to
as general obligation bonds, are approved by referendum, the
-11-
92-- 462
Florida Constitution does not provide a limit on the amount of ad
valorem taxes the City may levy to pay principal and interest on
such bonds.
The City Charter_
The City Charter limits general obligation debt of the City
to 15% of the assessed valuation of all real and personal
property within the City limits as shown by the last preceding
assessment roll of the City and provides that bonds for street,
sewer, sidewalk and other public improvements which are paid from
special assessments shall not be subject to such limitation of
amount nor be considered when computing the amount of general
obligation bonds that may be issued.
The debt limitation for general obligation bonds as of
September 30, 1991 was $1,618,882,800, based on the net assessed
valuation of $10,792,152,000. Outstanding general obligation
debt applicable to the City's debt limitation as of September 30,
1991 totaled.$188,605,000 which is approximately 1.75% of the net
assessed valuation.

Description of Revenues.
The following is a
description of the revenues which
comprise the City's General
Fund.
-22-
92- 462
s
General Fund
Property Ta.yes--Article JII, Section 9 of the Florida
Constitution provides that except for taxes levied for payment of
bonds and certain voter approved levies, municipalities in the
State may not levy ad valorem taxes in excess of ten mills per
$1.00 ($10 per $1,000) of assessed valuation upon real estate and
tangible personal property having a situs within the taxing city,
when the tax is being imposed to generate monies for municipal
purposes.
Both Dade County and the City tax real and tangible personal
properties within the City.
Dade County and its twenty-eight incorporated
municipalities, including the City, do not levy personal income
tax, gross receipts tax, inheritance tax, gift tax or commuter
tax.
Public Service Taxes. --These taxes are deposited in the Public
Service Tax Special Revenue Fund, and subsequently transferred to
other funds, including the General Fund.
Frarirhise Taxes --The City has entered into franchise
agreements with utilities to generate revenues for the City based
on the dollar volume of services rendered to City residents. The
'¢ most significant of these agreements is with Florida Power &
Light Company for a 30-year period, with an estimated revenue of
$13.2 million in fiscal year 1992.
Local. Option Gas Tax --This is a tax levied on the sale of
gasoline. The funds generated are to be used for street and
highway maintenance.
Occupational Licenses --The City levies a license tax for
business privilege licenses. License taxes vary according to the
type of business. The exception to this are the contractors'
licenses, which are collected only by the Dade County Tax
Collector. There is a set contractor's fee for all contractors
within the County. After collection, Dade County returns to the
cities its pro rata share of revenue collected. The pro rata
share due each city depends on the number of contractors doing
business within each city's limits.
State Reuenue Sliar•ing--The revenues distributed to the
municipalities by the State of Florida under the State's revenue
sharing program are derived from a percentage of its collection
of the State cigarette tax, the State motor fuel tax and the
State road tax. Its guaranteed entitlement component, $5.7
million annually, is pledged for the payment of debt and recorded
in other funds. Unused funds are transferred to the General Fund
as other financing sources.
-23-
92-. 462
Sales Taxes --The state of Florida levies a 6 percent sales
tax. A portion of this tax, one half of one percent of the 6
percent levied, is shared by municipalities based on their
population.
The City's General Fund receives revenues from a variety of
sources. The following table lists the revenues received by the
City from these sources for the past five fiscal years. Certain
financing sources presented as "Operating Transfers In" in
Appendix B, "General Purpose Financial Statements" are
reclassified in this table according to their sources of origin.

APPROVAL OF LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Legal matters incident to the authorization, delivery and
s
sale of the Series 1992 Bonds, and with regard to the tax status
thereof under existing laws, regulations, rulings and judicial
i -25-
92- 462
decisions, are subject to the unqualified approving opinion of
Fine Jacobson Schwartz Nash Block & England, Miami, Florida, and
the Law Offices of Manuel Alonso-Poch, P.A., Coral Gables,
Florida, Co -Bond Counsel. The form of such opinion is attached
hereto as Appendix C. Certain legal matters will be passed on
for the City by A. Quinn Jones III, City Attorney.
TAX TREATMENT
In the opinion of Bond Counsel, under existing statutes and
court decisions, interest on the Series 1992 Bonds is not
included in gross income for federal income tax purposes,
assuming compliance by the City with certain covenants and
procedures and is not treated as an item of tax preference for
purposes of the alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals
and corporations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, (the "Code"). The Series 1992 Bonds and the income
thereon are exempt from taxation under the laws of the State of
Florida, except for estate taxes and taxes imposed by Chapter
220, Florida Statutes, on interest, income or profits and debt
obligations owned by corporations, banks and savings
associations, as defined therein.
The opinion on tax matters is based on certain represen-
tations set forth in the Tax Certificate delivered by the City
-s
upon the issuance of the Series 1992 Bonds and the City's
,1
covenant contained in the Resolution that it will do and perform
all acts and things necessary to assure that interest on the
Series 1992 Bonds is not included in the gross income of each
registered owner pursuant to the Code. Bond Counsel did not
independently verify the accuracy of the representations made by
+'
ii
the City.
The Code prescribes a number of qualifications and
conditions for the interest on local government obligations to be
{
excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, some
of which, including provisions for potential payments by the City
to the federal government, require future or continued compliance
after issuance in order for the interest to be and continue to be
so excluded from the date of issuance. Non-compliance with these
requirements could cause the interest on the Series 1992 Bonds to
be included in the gross income for federal income tax purposes
of its registered owners and to be subject to federal income tax
retroactively to the date of their issuance.
{
There are Code provisions applicable to corporations, as
defined for federal income tax purposes, that impose an
alternative minimum tax of seventy five percent (75%) of the
excess of adjusted current earnings over other alternative
minimum tax income which may subject a portion of the interest on
the Series 1992 Bonds earned by affected corporations to that
corporate alternative minimum tax. Under the Code, interest on
r
-26-
92- 462
the Series 1992 Bonds may be subject to an environmental tax
imposed on corporations for certain taxable years, a branch
profits tax imposed on certain foreign corporations doing
business in the United States, and a tax imposed on excess net
passive income of certain subchapter S corporations. In
addition, under the Code, the exclusion of interest from gross
income for federal income tax purposes can have certain adverse
federal income tax consequences on items of income or deductions
for particular taxpayers, including among them financial
institutions, some insurance companies, recipients of social
security and railroad retirement benefits, and those that are
deemed to incur or continue indebtedness to acquire or carry tax
exempt obligations. The applicability and extent of these and
other tax consequences will depend upon the particular tax status
of each bondholder. For that reason, they should consult their
tax advisors before purchasing the Series 1992 Bonds to determine
to what extent, if any, the foregoing tax provisions will have on
them. Bond Counsel does not express and has not expressed an
opinion on these matters.
UNDERWRITING
(the "Underwriter") has agreed,
subject to the proceedings authorizing the issuance of the Series
1992 Bonds, to purchase the Series 1992 Bonds 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 Series 1992 Bonds,
and have participated in the preparation of portions of this
Official Statement. The public offering price of the Series 1992
Bonds 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 Series 1992 Bonds will be
delivered by the City to the Underwriter unless all of the Series
1992 Bonds 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 Series 1992 Bonds. 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 contained in the Official Statement. Howard Gary &
Company and Raymond James & Associates, Inc., are full service
investment banking firms which provide financial advisory and
underwriting services to governmental entities throughout the
nation.

v� s
DISCLOSURE 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 Series 1992 Bonds. 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
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 no obligations issued by the
City were ever in default with respect to the payment of
principal and/or interest.
CERTAIN CLOSING CERTIFICATES
Concurrently with the delivery of the Series 1992 Bonds, the
City Manager and the Director of Finance will furnish their
certificate to the effect that, to the best of their knowledge,
this Official Statement, as of its date and as of the date of the
delivery of the Series 1992 Bonds, did not and does not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.
In addition, at the time of delivery of the Series 1992
Bonds to the Underwriter(s), the City will provide to the
Underwriter(s) a certificate (which may be included in a
consolidated closing certificate of the City described in this
section immediately above), signed by those City officials who
signed the Official Statement, relating to the accuracy and

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,

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. In recent
A-5
92- 462
years, the local economy has been negatively impacted by the
bankruptcy of several institutions based in Greater Miami,
including CenTrust Bank, Southeast Bank, Eastern Airlines and Pan
American Airways.
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.
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.
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
A-6
92- 462
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
and office 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 development started in the
fall of 1988 with an initial 860 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 planned to
occur over the next five years for a total of 1,100 residential
units and 250,000 square feet of office and 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 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 attracted 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
Company, Rowye Trading, A.G., Mayr Brothers International and
Abtron Corp.
Other national firms that have established international
operations or office locations in greater Miami are Alcoa
International, Ltd., Atlas Chemical Industries, International
Harvester, Johns Manville International, Minnesota (3-M) Export,
A-7
92- 462

Inc., Pfizer Latin America Royal Export, United Fruit, Baccus
Electronics and Kraft.
