The City of Gulf Breeze, Florida, issued a bond pool, prior to the Tax Reform Act of 1986, with the purpose of loaning such fund to other overnmental units. Burrowing these funds would be advantageous �o the City due to the following: Market competitive rates Very low closing costs and fees, .8% of principal amount. (Normally closing costs approximate 2% of principal). Availability of variable or fixed interest rates. Unrestricted investment yield for three-year period. The enterprise fund projects being financed by this loan have not had a track record as profit making operations, therefore, a stronger revenue pledge must be made in order to borrow funds from this, or any other source. It is anticipated that in future years these enterprise funds will generate enough funds to pay debt service. At this time it is suggested that a portion of the fines and forfeitures revenues collected from Dade County Courts be pledged for the repayment of this loan. It is estimated that annual debt service cost on a fixed mode will approximate $650,000. Debt service coverage, which will be negotiated with the lenders, will be at least 125% of debt service requiring a pledge of $812,500. Total revenues from Dade County Courts approximate $2.5 million annually. The pledge to be made will be limited to the debt service coverage required by lender.
