Findings Regarding Negotiated Sale: In accordance with Section 218.385, Florida Statutes, the City hereby finds, determines and declares, based upon the advice of its Financial Advisor for the Bond, that a negotiated sale of the Bond is in the best interests of the City for the following reasons: (i) The underlying security structure (credit) is one that is broadly understood by market participants and maintains a strong underlying credit rating; (ii) The structure and timing of the issuance of the Bond require extensive planning, and it is not practical for the City, the Financial Advisor, and Pinnacle to engage in such planning within the time constraints and uncertainties inherent within a competitive bidding process; (iii) The short average life of the transaction lends itself to the competitive solicitation of financial institutions undertaken by the City with respect to the Bond; (iv) The Pledged Revenues consist of multiple revenue sources which require extensive planning and explanation to the market and which must continue in accordance with requirements of the pledged revenue structures of the Authorizing Resolutions for the previous Series 2002 Bonds, Series 2007 Bonds and Series 2009 Bonds, City Ordinance No. 12137, adopted October 11, 2001 setting for the limited ad valorem tax debt millage not to exceed the then current rate of 1,218, and the related voter referendum of November 13, 2001; (v) Market conditions are such that this type of credit would be well received by financial institutions; (vi) The vagaries of the current and near future municipal bond market demand that the City have the maximum time and flexibility in order to obtain the most favorable interest rates available; and (vii) The structure and timing of the related redemptions of the Series 2002 Bonds and the Series 2007B Bonds require extensive planning. B. It is in the best interests of the City, its citizens and taxpayers to issue the Bond in order to save approximately Seven Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,800,000.00) (net City of Miand Page 5 of 12 File Id. 15-01485 (Version: 1) Printed On: 4/13/2018 File Number: 15-01485 Enactment Number: R-15-0545 present value) in interest payments on the Series 2002 Bonds and Series 2007B Bonds without extending the time for such payments. C. The Bond shall be payable from the Pledged Funds. D. There are expected to be sufficient Pledged Funds to pay the interest and principal on the Bond as the same become due and payable. E. Except to the extent previously pledged to the City's outstanding Series 2002 Bonds, 2007 Bonds, and 2009 Bonds and to the extent that the City has other existing covenants to budget and appropriate, the Pledged Funds are not now pledged or encumbered in any matter. F. Except to the extent of the City's limited ad valorem pledged debt millage rate (not to exceed the then current rate of 1.218) established by the City in Ordinance No. 12137, adopted October 11, 2001 and approved by referendum of the voters on November 13, 2001, neither the City nor the State of Florida nor any other political subdivision thereof or governmental authority or body therein, shall ever be required to levy ad valorem taxes to pay the Bond, and the Bond shall not constitute a lien upon any properties owned by or situated within the City, except as provided herein with respect to the Pledged Funds, in the manner and to the extent provided herein. G. In accordance with Section 218.385(1), Florida Statutes, as amended, the City hereby finds, determines and declares that a negotiated sale of the Bond is in the best interests of the City due to the complexities of the market and timing of the issuance of the Bond, and the timing of the refundings of the Series 2002 Bonds and Series 2007B Bonds.

H. In accordance with the recommendations of the City's Administration and the Finance Committee, the City Commission hereby approves the selection of the private placement Proposal from Pinnacle for the private placement and negotiated sale of the Bond to Pinnacle, the only responsive and responsible proposer, in order to receive a loan under the Loan Agreement in an amount not to exceed Sixty -Two Million Dollars ($62,000,000.00) to refund the Series 2002 Bonds and Series 2007B Bonds and to provide for costs of issuance of the Bond.

Section 10. Covenants of the City. To the extent permitted by and in accordance with applicable law and budgetary processes, the City covenants that it will, in each year any Payments are due, budget and appropriate (a) sufficient legally available Limited Ad Valorem Taxes as set forth in Ordinance 12137, adopted October 11, 2001 and in accordance with the voter referendum of November 13, 2001, and if necessary (b) such legally available Non -Ad Valorem Revenues to make such Payments as they become due. Such covenants and agreements on the part of the City to budget and appropriate such legally available amounts as stated above shall be cumulative to the extent not paid, and shall continue until such legally available funds in amounts sufficient to make all such required Payments shall have been budgeted, appropriated and actually paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing covenants of the City, the City does not covenant to maintain any services or programs, now provided or maintained by the City, which generate Non -Ad Valorem Revenues. Such covenant to budget and appropriate does not create any lien upon or pledge of such Non -Ad Valorem Revenues, nor, except as provided below, does it preclude the City from pledging in the future its Non -Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it require the City to levy and collect any particular Non -Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it give the Bank a prior claim on the Non -Ad Valorem Revenues City of Miand Page 8 of 12 File Id. 15-01485 (Version: 1) Printed On: 4/13/2018 File Number: 15-01485 Enactment Number: R-15-0545 as opposed to claims of general creditors of the City. Such covenant to budget and appropriate Non -Ad Valorem Revenues is subject in all respects to the payment of obligations secured by a pledge of such Non -Ad Valorem Revenues heretofore or hereinafter entered into (including the payment of debt service on other bonds and other debt instruments of the City). However, the covenant to budget and appropriate in its general annual budget for the purposes and in the manner stated herein shall have the effect of making available for the payment of the Payments, in the manner described herein, Non -Ad Valorem Revenues and to the extent permitted by applicable law placing on the City a positive duty to budget and appropriate, by amendment if necessary, amounts sufficient to meet its obligations hereunder; subject, however, to the payment of services and programs which are for essential public purposes affecting the health, welfare and safety of the inhabitants of the City or which are legally mandated by applicable law. The City represents that the current refunding of the Series 2002 Bonds and the advance refunding of the Series 2007B Bonds serve essential public purposes and shall provide a significant cost savings to the City. Section 11. Tax Covenants. No use will be made of the proceeds of the Bond which, if such use were reasonably expected on the date of issuance of the Bond, would cause the same to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The City at all times while the Bond and the interest thereon are outstanding will comply with the requirements of the Code, including any amendments thereto and any valid and applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder necessary to maintain the exclusion of the interest on the Bond from federal gross income including the creation of any rebate funds or other funds and/or accounts required in that regard. Section 12. Security; Bond Not General Indebtedness. The Bond shall not be deemed to constitute general obligations or a pledge of the faith and credit of the City, the State or any other political subdivision thereof within the meaning of any constitutional, legislative or charter provision or limitation, but shall be payable solely from and secured by a lien upon and a pledge of the Pledged Funds, in the manner and to the extent herein provided. Except to the limited extent provided in Ordinance No. 12137 adopted October 11, 2001 and the voter referendum of November 13, 2001, no holder of the Bond shall ever have the right, directly or indirectly, to require or compel the exercise of the ad valorem taxing power of the City, the State or any other political subdivision of the State or taxation in any form on any real or personal property to pay the Bond or the interest thereon, nor shall any holder of the Bond be entitled to payment of such principal of and interest from any other funds of the City other than the proceeds of the Pledged Funds, all in the manner and to the extent herein provided. The Bond and the indebtedness evidenced thereby shall not constitute a lien upon any real or personal proprty of the City, but shall constitute a lien only on the proceeds of the Pledged Funds, all in the manner and to the extent provided herein. Until payment has been provided as herein permitted, the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bond shall be secured forthwith equally and ratably by a prior lien on the proceeds derived from the Pledged Funds, and the City does hereby irrevocably pledge the same to payment of the pal thereof and interest thereon when due. Section 13. Sale of Bond to Refund and to Redeem the outstanding Series 2002 Bonds and Series 2007B Bonds.
