PriOrlO October 1,2001, municipalities in Florida were authorized to levy a public service tax, similar to the tax described above, on communications services. However, effective October 1,2001, the Communications Services Tax Simplification Law, Chapter 202, Florida Statutes (the "CSTA") was enacted, One effect of the CSTA was to repeal the authorization of municipalities to levy the public service tax on telecommunications services and to replace that tax, as well as any revenues from franchise fees on cable and telecommunication service providers and permit fees relating to placing or maintaining facilities in rights-of-way collected from providers of certain telecommunications services, with the Discretionary Communications Services Tax. The Discretionary Communications Services Tax is applied to a broader base of communications services tban tbe former public service tax on telecommunications, and includes communications and cable services which originate or terminate in the State of Florida and are charged to a service address within the City, but does not include certain other services such as direct-to~home satellite service. "Communications sCIvices" is defined in the CSTA to mean the transmission, conveyance or routing of voice, data, audio, video, or any other information 01 signals, including cable services, to a point, or between points, by or thlOugh any electronic, radio, satellite, cable, optical, microwave, or other medium or method now in existence of hereafter devised, regardless of the protocol used for such transmission or 7 .....ORAFT..... 12 conveyance. However, the term llcomrnunications services" does not include "information services," installation or maintenance of wiring or equipment on a customer's premises. the sale or rental of tangible personal property, the sale of advertising, including, but not limited to directory advertising, bad check charges, late payment charges. billing and collection services or internet access service, electronic mail service, electronic bulletin board service or similar on~line computer services "lnfonnation service" means, in general, the offering ofa capability for generating, acquiring, storing, transforming, processing, retrieving, using, or-making available information via communications services, including but not limited to, electronic publishing, web-hosting service and end-user 900 number service, Services provided to the federal, state or local governments are exempt from the Discretionary Communications Services Tax. Sales to certain non-profit homes for the aged, religious institutions and educational institutions are also exempt from the tax, In addition, the Discretionary Communications Services Tax does not apply to any direct-to-home satellite service, Under certain circumstances, the Discretionary Communications Services Tax may not exceed $25,000 per calendar year on communication services charges billed to a service address located in a municipality imposing the tax for interstate communications services that originate outside Florida and terminate within Florida. The maximum rate at which any municipality may impose the Discretionary Communications Services Tax is 5,22%, although certain municipalities may not levy at a rate in excess of5.10% The City is cunendy subject to the 5 .22% maximum The Discretionary Communications Services Tax is required to be paid by the purchaser of the communication service and collected from such purchaser by the dealer of the communications services Failure to pay, collect and remit the tax as required by law may subject the offender to criminal penalties. The proceeds of the tax are required to be remitted by the dealer to the State of Florida Department of Revenue ("FDOR") Providers of conununications services may deduct 0 75% of the tax due and accounted for and remitted to the FDOR as a collection tee (or 0.25% in the case of providers who do not employ an enhanced zip code database or a database that is either supplied or certified by the FDOR) FDOR is permitted to deduct its cost of administering the tax, not to exceed I % of the total tax collections, and then distributes the remaining proceeds to the taxing municipality on a monthly basis Under the CSTA, local governments must work with FDOR to properly identify service addresses to each taxing authority. If the City fails to provide FDOR with accurate scrvice address information, it risks losing tax proceeds that it should receive, The City believes it has provided FDOR with all information tllat the FDOR has requested as of the date hereof and that such information is accurate, Revenues raised by a municipality from the Discretionary Communications Services Tax may be used for any public purpose, including pledging such revenues to indebtedness The City has imposed a Discretionary Communications Services Tax since October 1,200 I, the first date on which the tax was authorized under Florida law For the fiscal year ended September 30,2002, the City imposed the tax at the rate of 5.62%, Effective October I, 2002 the City changed the rate to the new statutory maximum of 522%.

The proposed fonn of such opinion of Bond Counsel is attached hereto as Appendix D, Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the City by Goren, Cherof, Doody & Ezrol, PA., City Attorneys, Fort Laudcrdale, F101ida, and for the Underwriter by its counsel, Squire, Sanders & Dempsey LL.P. Counsel to the Underwriter has not been engaged to pass upon the accuracy or completeness of this Official Statement and has no responsibility to investors with respect thereto, The fees of Bond Counsel, Disclosure Counscl and the City Attorneys are contingent upon issuance of the Series 2006 Bonds, TAX EXEMPTION The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), provides that the interest on state and local governmental bonds, such as the Series 2006 Bonds, will not be included in the gross income for federal income tax pUlposes ofthe owner thereof only if certain requirements are met, some of which must be met on a continuing basis, subsequent to the issuance and delivery of the Series 2006 Bonds, Although the City has covenanted to comply with such requirements, non-compUance with such requirements could cause the interest on the Series 2006 Bonds to be included in gross income fOl federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of issue ofthe Serics 2006 Bonds regardless of the date on which such non-compliance OCCUIS or is ascertained, Those requirements include, but are not limited to, provisions which prescribe yield and other limits within which the proceeds of the Series 2006 Bonds and other amounts are to be invested and which require that certain investment earnings on the foregoing be rebated on a periodical basis to the Treasury DepaItment of the United States In the opinion of Moyle, Flanigan, Katz, Raymond & Sheehan, PA, West Palm Beach, Florida, Bond Counsel, under existing law, and assuming continuing compliance with the aforementioned covenants, interest on the Series 2006 Bonds is excluded ITom gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax pJeference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum taxes imposed on individuals and corporations. The law upon which Bond Counsel is basing their opinion is subject to change by the Congress and the Department of the Treasury and to subsequent judicial and administrative interpretation. There can be no assurance that such law or the interpretation thereof will not be changed in a manner which would adversely affect the tax treatment of ownership of the Series 2006 Bonds, 18 ..ORAFT.. 23 [The Series 2006 Bonds maturing in the years , are beiog offered and sold in the initial public offering at an original issue discount ("DID") DID is the difference between thc stated rcdemption price at maturity (generally the face amount onhe Series 2006 Bonds) and the "issue pricc" of the Series 2006 Bonds The "issue price" of each maturity of the Series 2006 Bonds is the respective initial offering prices to the public at which prices a substantial amount of such maturity of the Series 2006 Bonds was sold. DID represents interest which is excludcd from gross income for fedeml income tax purposes and which may result in the collateral fedeml tax consequences described below. DID will accrue over the term of such Series 2006 Bonds at a constant interest rate compounded semi-annually, The portion of DID that accrues during the time an owner owns a Series 2003 Bond constitutes interest excludable from gross income for lederal ineome tax purposes and will inerease such purchaser's adjusted basis in such Series 2006 Bonds for purposes of determining taxable gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of such Series 2006 Bonds. The federal income tax eoosequences of the purchase, ownership and sale or other disposition of Series 2006 Bonds which are not purchased in the initial offering at the initial offering prices may be determined according to rules which differ from those described above_ Owners of Series 2006 Bonds should consult their own tax advisors as to the precise federal income tax and state and local tax consequences of owning and disposing 01 Series 2006 Bonds.] [The Series 2006 Bonds maturing in the years , are being offered and sold in the initial public offering at a premium (the "Premium Bonds"). Section 171 of the Code provides rules under which a bond premium may be amortized and a deduction allowed for the amount of the amortizable bond premium for a taxable year. Under Seetion 171(a)(2) of the Code, however, no deduction is allowable for the amortizable bond premium in the case of the bonds, like the Premium Bonds, the interest on whicb is exeludable from gross income, Under Section 1 016(a)(5) of the Code, the purchaser's hasis in a Premium Bond will he reduced by the amount of the amortizable bond premium disallowable as a deduction under Section 171(a)(1) of tbe Code, Procecds received from the sale, exchange, or otber disposition including redemption of a Premium Bond in excess of the owner's adjusted basis (as reduced pursuant to Section 1016(a)(5) of the Code) will be treatcd as a gain from the sale or exchange of such Premium Bond and not as tax-exempt interest, The basis of an original purchaserofa Prcmium Bond who holds such Premium Bond to maturity will have a basis equal to the principal amount of the Premium Bond and therefore will have no loss upon receipt of such principal amount.] [In addition, the Premium Bonds maturing in the years _ were offered at prices in excess of the principal amount thercof to achieve a yield based upon the date on which such Bonds are subject to optional redemption by the City (the "Call Date") rather than the maturity date (the "Callable Premium Bonds"), Under the Code, the excess of the cost basis of a Callable Premium Bond over the amount payable at the Call Date of the Callable Premium Bond that minimizes the yield to a purchaser of a Callable Premium Bond (the "Lowest Yield Call Date") (other than for a bondholder who holds a bond as inventory, stock in trade, or for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business) is generally characterized as "bond premium" For federal income tax purposes, bond premium is amortized over the period to the Lowest Yield Call Date of a Callable Premium Bond, A bondholder will therefore be required to decrease his basis in the Callable Premium Bond by the amount of the amortizable bond premium attributable to each taxable year he holds such Callable Premium Bond, The amount of the amortizable bond premium attributable to each taxable year is determined on an actuarial basis at a constant interest rate compounded on each interest payment date. The amortizable bond premium attributable to a taxable year is not deductible for federal income tax purposes,] In addition, in the opinion of Bond Counsel, the Series 2006 Bonds are exempt from all present intangible personal property taxes presently imposed by the Slate of Florida, 19 ."DRAF'T** 24 Except as stated above, Bond Counsel expresses no opinion as to any other tax consequences of acquiring, carrying, owning or disposing of thc Series 2006 Bonds Prospective purchasers of the Series 2006 Bonds should be aware that the ownership of tax-exempt obligations may result in collateral federal income tax consequences to financial institutions, property and casualty insurance companies. individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Rctirement benefits, taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase or carry tax-exempt obligations, foreign corporations doing business in tbe Unitcd States and Subchapter S corporations with passive investment income, Prospective purchasers falling within any of these categodes should consult their own tax advisors os to the applicability of these consequences, RATINGS Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") and Standard and Poor's Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hili Companies ("S&P") arc expected to assign to the Series 2006 Bonds their municipal bond ratings of (i) Aaa and AAA, respectively, with the understanding that upon delivery of the Series 2006 Bonds, a policy insuring the payment when due of the principal of and interest on the Series 2006 Bonds (the "Policy") will be issued by MBIA and (ii) A2 and A, respectively, without regard to the Policy The ratings assigned to the Series 2006 Bonds by any rating agency reflect only the views of the rating agency, and an explanation of the significance of the ratings may be obtained only from the rating agency The ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold the Series 2006 Bonds and there is no assurance that such ratings will remain in effect for any given period of time or that they will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely if, in the judgment of the rating agency, circumstances so warranl.

The Insurer requires that the issuer and/or the underlying obligor of the bonds enter into a Financial Guaranty Agreement with the Insurer providing for, among other things, the reimbursement to the Insurer of amounts drawn under the Surety Bond.

The Insurer will undertake its standard credit analysis of the issuer and/or obligor which may result in requests for modifications of the structure or certain provisions of the bond documents, These changes would be in addition to the specific changes required in all financings where a Surety Bond will be issued (see Required Terms below). The Surety Bond may be structured to provide debt service reserve fund replacement for the current issue of bonds and any other debt issued on a parity therewith. However, in all cases, thc Surety Bond will expirc on the final maturity date of the current issue. The program criteria are subject to change by the Insurer. General Terms Provision should be made in the bond documents for the creation of a debt service reserve fund and there should be a requirement to maintain that fund at a certain level. It should also be provided that this requirement may be satisfied by cash or a qualified surety bond or a combination of these two (Note: A "qualified suretv bond" means a suretv bond issued bv an insurance companv rated in the highest rating catel].orv bv Standard & Poor's and Moodv's and. if rated bv A.M. Best & Companv, must also be rated in the highest rating categorv by A.M, Best & Company). In those instances where the issuance of parity debt will cause the debt service reserve fund requirement to increase, the Insurer requires that at the time of issuance of such parity debt, either cash or a qualified surety bond be provided so that the increased requirement will be satisfied. In any event where the debt service reserve fund contains both an the Insurer Surety Bond and cash, the Insurer requires that the cash be drawn down completely before any demand is made on the Surety Bond. ]n any event where the debt service reserve fund contains a surety bond from another entity and an INSURER Surety Bond, the documents should provide for a pro-rata draw on each of the surety bonds, With regard to replenishment, any available monies, as defined in the Indenture or Resolution, should be used first to reimburse the Insurer, thereby reinstating the Surety Bond, and second to replenish the cash in the debt service reserve fund. The rate covenant should be expanded so that, in addition to all other coverage requirements, there are sufficient monies available to pay all amounts owed to the Insurer under the terms of the Financial Guaranty Agreement.
