City of Miami for families and persons, including the elderly,
of low or moderate income, as such term is defined in Sec-
tion 3 of this Ordinance, by using the proceeds of such bonds
to assist the County in financing such housing in the City as
herein provided, including increasing the security and market-
ability of County Obligations that shall be issued by Dade
County to acquire, construct and rehabilitate such housing,
on a self-liquidating basis as provided in this Ordinance, there
shall be issued under the Constitution and laws of the State of
Florida and pursuant to the provisions of the Charter of the
City of Miami, as amended, and the Code of The City of Miami,
as amended, subject to the approval of the electors at the
election hereinafter provided for, bonds of The City of Miami in
an aggregate principal amount: not exceeding Twenty -Five Million
Dollars ($75,0f0,C L) , such bond:; to be issued at one time or
from time to tir:.e and to mature in annual installments not exceed-
ing thirty (30) years from their respective date or dates, it
being estimated and declared by the Commission of the City of
Miami that the probable life of said housing is more than thirty
(30) years after the completion of construction or rehabilitation
of said housing.
Such bonds; shall b3 issuable as coupon bonds in denomi-
nations of $ 000 each and as registered bonds without coupons
in dci om i rin t i c,nr of $ 5 , 000 c'rrch or any r•:si 1 t i pl e thereof and shall

conditions as may be fired by resolution prior to the sale of
the bonds.
Section 3. The term "families and persons, including the
elderly, of low or moderate income", as used herein shall mean
and include families or persons whoe income is not sufficient to
enable them, without financial assistance, to live in decent,
safe and sanitary dwellings without overcrowding in The City of
Miami. Such term, for the purposes of this Ordinance and with
respect to any housing assisted by the City hereunder, is in-
tended (i) to include only such families and persons whose annual
income with any rent supplements, grants or other assistance
provided by any federal, state or private agencies shall be at
least sufficient to enable them to pay the rent or other costs
for such housing and (ii) to exclude any families or persons
whose annual income shall be at so high a level that the City
cannot under the 1c:•:: then in force assist the financing of housing
which is available for occupancy by such families or persons. It
is presently estimated, upon the basis of housing costs and rents
and family and personal incomes, that a substantial segment of
the families and the persons in The City of Miami are families
and persons of low or moderate income as such term is used herein.
Section 4. The City of Miami shall enter into one or more
