Under the new Tax Reform Act of 1986, the City Commission must confirm and approve the actions of the Authority in authorizing the issuance of the bonds and the holding of the public hearing. Another public hearing is not required by the City Commission, since the Commission has delegated the Authority to hold such hearings to the City of Miami, Florida Health Facilities Authority, and the Authority has such power by virtue of Chapters 154 and 159, Florida Statutes. The only action required by the Commission is the passage of the attached Resolution approving the issuance of hospital revenue bonds in an amount not to exceed $45,000,000 by the City of Miami, Florida Health Facilities Authority. Subsequent hearings will be held by the Authority prior to a final determination of the financial feasibility of each bond issuance. This resolution merely confirms the required public hearing held by the Authority and the issuance of the bonds by the Authority. These bonds will not constitute a debt or liability of the City of Miami or the City of Miami, Florida Heal th Faci i i ti es Authority. They are payable solely out of the revenues of the hospital on whose behalf the bonds are issued. Florida law prohibits the bonds from being an obligation of the City, the State of Florida, or any political subdivision thereof. cc: Law Department fig' I i
