Background Information (continued):
The Series 2009 A, B, & C Bonds are being issued in tax-exempt, taxable, and Recovery Zone tax-
exempt categories, in connection with uses for the Project contemplated by the City Parking Agreement
of April 15, 2009 among the City, Miami -Dade County and the User. (See also the companion
Resolution for issuance of the Series 2009 A, B, & C Bonds and companion Public Hearing Notice'
required by Section 147(f) of the Code.)
Section 1401 of Title I, Division B of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 ("ARRA")
added Sections 1400U-1 through 1400U-3 to the Code in order to authorize certain state and local
governments to issue Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds and Recovery Zone Facility Bonds
(collectively, "Recovery Zone Bonds") through December 31, 2010. The allocations distributed to each
state are calculated based upon the proportion of that state's 2008 employment decline in relation to the
aggregate 2008 employment declines for all states, with each state's Recovery Zone Bonds allocation
required to be reallocated among the counties and large municipalities within that state. Under the
Recovery Zone allocation for the State of Florida, the City has been allocated $7,877,000 in Recovery
Zone Economic Development Bond allocations and $11,816,000 in Recovery Zone Facility Bond'
allocations.
Pursuant to Section 1400U-1 of the Code, in order for the City to issue Recovery Zone Bonds and use its
allocations under ARRA, the City must designate areas within the City as recovery zones (collectively,
the "Recovery Zone") which are eligible to receive the Recovery Zone allocations. The City Manager
respectfully recommends that it is in the best interest of the City to designate the entire geographic area of
the City as a Recovery Zone due to high levels of poverty, unemployment, and home foreclosures which
have resulted in general economic distress throughout the City.
The Resolution for the Recovery Zone designation has been drafted by and reviewed by our Bond
Counsel, Bryant Miller Olive P.A. The City's Finance Committee also approved the negotiated sale of the
Series 2009 A, B, & C bonds.
