%
SECTION 1. This_ Resolution is adopted pursuant to Chapter
166, Florida Statutes, and other applicable provisions of law.
SECTION 2. All capitalized terms, unless otherwise defined
herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Author-
izing Resolution or in such other documents as may be referred to
herein if the context so requires. The term "Authorized Officer"
for purposes of this Resolution shall include the Mayor or Vice
Mayor, the City Manager and the Director of Finance of the City,
and with respect to attestation of the seal of the City and the
making of certificates of matters which are set forth in the
official records of the City, the City Clerk.
SECTION 3. The Bonds shall mature in the amounts and at the
times not exceeding 30 years, shall bear interest at such rates
which result in a net average interest cost rate on the Bonds
that is lower than the net average interest cost rate on the
Prior Bonds, shall be redeemable at the redemption prices and
upon the terms and shall have all of the other characteristics
set forth in Exhibit A of the Purchase Contract. The Mayor or
Vice Mayor of the City is hereby authorized to approve the final
terms of the Bonds, as set forth in Exhibit A of the Purchase
Contract, subject to the restrictions set forth in this
Resolution, without need of further authorization of the
Commission and such approval shall in all respects be binding on
the City. The form of the Bonds and the provisions for
numbering, signatures, authentication and payment of the Bonds
shall be as set forth in the Authorizing Resolution.
SECTION 4. The City hereby finds, ascertains, determines
and declares that a negotiated sale of the Bonds is in the best
interests of the City and is necessary on the basis of the fol-
lowing reasons, as to which specific findings are hereby made:
the complex character of the issuance of the Bonds requires
lengthy and detailed structuring which could be unreasonably
restricted by the lack the flexibility of bidders at competitive
sale; and prevailing market conditions have resulted in rapidly
changing and broadly varying interest rates, the negative effects
of which on the issuance of the Bonds will be minimized by a
negotiated sale.
The negotiated sale of the Bonds to the Underwriters is
hereby approved at a purchase price of not less than 98% of the
initial purchase price of the Bonds by the public, plus accrued
interest from August 1, 1986 to the date of delivery of the
Bonds. The Mayor or Vice Mayor is hereby authorized to approve
the final purchase price of the Bonds, as set forth in the
Purchase Contract, subject to the restrictions set forth in this
Resolution, without need of further authorization of the
Commission and such approval shall in all respects be binding on
the City. The Bonds shall be sold to the Underwriters upon the
terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Contract attached
hereto as Exhibit A, and the Mayor or Vice Mayor is hereby
- 2 -
.
authorized to execute the same with such changes, insertions and
omissions as he shall approve, such execution being conclusive as
to the approval of such changes, insertions and omissions. It is
contemplated that the Purchase Contract will be executed after
the date of adoption of this Resolution, subject to the
provisions thereof and the parameters set forth herein, by the
Underwriters. In compliance with the requirements of F.S.
§218. 385 (4) , a disclosure statement shall be provided to the City
upon the sale of the Bonds.
SECTION 5. The Preliminary Official Statement (the "Preli-
minary Official Statement") in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B, is hereby approved, and the City hereby
approves the use by the Underwriters in connection with the
offering and sale of the Bonds of the Preliminary Official
Statement and of an Official Statement in substantially the form
of the Preliminary Official Statement, with such revisions as
shall hereafter be approved by the Mayor or Vice Mayor. The
Commission hereby further approves the use by the Underwriters of
any supplement or amendment to the Official Statement which is
necessary so that the Official Statement does not include any
untrue statement of a material fact and does not omit to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein not mis-
leading. The Mayor or Vice Mayor is hereby authorized and
directed to execute an Official Statement, and any amendment or
supplement thereto, and thereupon to cause the Official Statement
and any such amendment or supplement to be delivered to the
Underwriters. Approval of the Mayor or Vice Mayor of changes,
insertions and omissions to the form of the Preliminary Official
Statement and the Official Statement shall be conclusively
evidenced by his execution and delivery thereof.
SECTION 6. The proposal submitted by the Underwriters, in
the form of the Purchase Contract, presented at this meeting, a

conclusive evidence of the approval of such changes, insertions
and omissions thereto (which may include changes in dollar
amounts) , and such Authorized Officers are hereby authorized to
affix and attest to the seal of the City on the Escrow Deposit
Agreement. The appointment of Chemical Bank as Escrow Agent
under the Escrow Deposit Agreement is hereby approved.

of Miami Beach
Miami Beach, Florida
Dear Commissioners:
We have examined certified copies of the legal proceedings
and the validation proceedings, Resolution No. 86-18489,
Resolution No. 86- , and other resolutions of the City
Commission of the City of Miami Beach, Florida (the "City" ) , as
amended and supplemented (collectively, the "Resolution" ) and
other proofs submitted, relative to the issuance and sale of
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA
General Obligation Bonds, Series 1986
Dated , 1986
•
The City Commission of the
City of Miami Beach
, 1986
Page 2
maturing in such amounts and at such times, bearing interest and
subject to redemption, all as provided in the Resolution.
As to questions of fact material to our opinion, we have
relied uponsuch certified proceedings and other certifications
of public officials furnished to us, without undertaking to
verify the same by independent .investigation. We have also
examined one of the Bonds as executed and authenticated and have
assumed that all other Bonds have been similarly executed and
authenticated.
From such examination we are of the opinion that such pro-
ceedings and proofs show lawful authority for the issuance and
sale of the Bonds pursuant to the Constitution and other laws of
the State of Florida, including the Charter of the City, that the
Bonds constitute valid and binding general obligations of the
City for the payment of which and the interest on which the full
faith, credit and taxing power of the City are irrevocably
pledged, and that all the taxable property within the City
(excluding homesteads to the extent provided under applicable
law) is subject to the levy of an ad valorem tax, without
limitation as to rate or amount, for the payment of the Bonds and
the interest thereon.
On December 17, 1985, the United States House of Representa-
tives adopted H.R. 3838, 99th Congress, 1st Session with an
effective date of January 1, 1986. H.R. 3838 includes provisions
which would apply to the Bonds retroactive to their date of
issue. The Bonds do not comply with the provisions of H.R. 3838
and interest on the Bonds therefore would not be exempt from
Federal income taxation if H.R. 3838 is enacted in the form
adopted by the House of Representatives.
However, in a Joint Statement on March 14, 1986, the Chair-
men and ranking members of the House Ways and Means Committee and
Senate Finance Committee and the Secretary of the Treasury agreed
to endorse a postponement of the effective dates of certain pro-
visions of H.R. 3838 for certain governmental bonds issued before
September 1, 1986 or the date of enactment of tax reform legisla-
tion, if earlier. In our opinion, the Bonds are governmental
bonds for which the Joint Statement endorses a postponement of
the effective dates of certain provisions of H.R. 3838 and inter-
est on the Bonds would be exempt from Federal income taxation
under H.R. 3838 as adopted by the House of Representatives with
effective dates amended to conform with the Joint Statement,
ti • ' .

City of Miami Beach

except that under H.R. 3838 interest on the Bonds may be subject
to a minimum tax for taxable years beginning after 1987 during
any period when such Bonds are held by property and casualty
insurance companies.
On June 24, 1986, the Senate adopted a tax reform bill in
the form of a substitute version of H.R. 3838. The Senate bill
includes provisions affecting tax-exempt bonds, but generally
would not apply to bonds issued prior to the date of enactment.
In our opinion, interest on the Bonds would be exempt from
Federal income taxation under the Senate bill as adopted on June
24, 1986, except that under the Senate bill interest on Bonds may
be subject to an alternative minimum tax during any period when
such Bonds are held by corporations.
We express no opinion as to the exemption of interest on the
Bonds from Federal income taxation if tax legislation is enacted
in a form which differs from H.R. 3838, as adopted by the House
of Representatives with effective dates amended to conform with
the Joint Statement, or the Senate bill as adopted on June 24,
1986.
It is to be understood that the rights of the holders of the
Bonds and the enforceability thereof may be subject to bank-
ruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar
laws affecting creditors ' rights heretofore or hereafter enacted,
to the extent constitutionally applicable, and that their
enforcement may also be subject to the exercise of judicial dis-
cretion in appropriate cases.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Commission of
Miami Beach, Florida as follows:
4
SECTION 1. This• Resolution is adopted pursuant to Chapter
166, Florida Statutes, and other applicable provisions of law.
SECTION 2. All capitalized terms, unless otherwise defined
herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Author-
izing Resolution or in such other documents as may be referred to
herein if the context so requires. The term "Authorized Officer"
for purposes of this Resolution shall include the Mayor or Vice
Mayor, the City Manager and the Director of Finance of the City,
and with respect to attestation of the seal of the City and the
making of certificates of matters which are set forth in the
official records of the City, the City Clerk.
SECTION 3. The Bonds shall mature in the amounts and at the
times not exceeding 30 years, shall bear interest at such rates
which result in a net average interest cost rate on the Bonds
that is lower than the net average interest cost rate on the
Prior Bonds, shall be redeemable at the redemption prices and
upon the terms and shall have all of the other characteristics
set forth in Exhibit A of the Purchase Contract. The Mayor or
Vice Mayor of the City is hereby authorized to approve the final
terms of the Bonds, asset forth in Exhibit A of the Purchase
Contract, subject to the restrictions set forth in this
Resolution, without need of further authorization of the
Commission and such approval shall in all respects be binding on
the City. The form of the Bonds and the provisions for
numbering, signatures, authentication and payment of the Bonds
shall be as set forth in the Authorizing Resolution.
SECTION 4. The City hereby finds, ascertains, determines
and declares that a negotiated sale of the Bonds is in the best
interests of the City and is necessary on the basis of the fol-
lowing reasons, as to which specific findings are hereby made:
the complex character of the issuance of the Bonds requires
lengthy and detailed structuring which could be unreasonably
restricted by the lack the flexibility of bidders at competitive
sale; and prevailing market conditions have resulted in rapidly
changing and broadly varying interest rates, the negative effects
of which on the issuance of the Bonds will be minimized by a
negotiated sale.
The negotiated sale of the Bonds to the Underwriters is
hereby approved at a purchase price of not less than 98% of the
initial purchase price of the Bonds by the public, plus accrued
interest from August 1, 1986 to the date of delivery of the
Bonds. The Mayor or Vice Mayor is hereby authorized to approve
the final purchase price of the Bonds, as set forth in the
Purchase Contract, subject to the restrictions set forth in this
Resolution, without need of further authorization of the
Commission and such approval shall in all respects be binding on
the City. The Bonds shall be sold to the Underwriters upon the
terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Contract attached
hereto as Exhibit A, •and the Mayor or Vice Mayor is hereby
- 2 -
'WV/
authorized to execute the same with such changes, insertions and
omissions as he shall approve, such execution being conclusive as
to the approval of such changes, insertions and omissions. It is
contemplated that the Purchase Contract will be executed after
the date of adoption of this Resolution, subject to the
provisions thereof and the parameters set forth herein, by the
Underwriters. In compliance with the requirements of F.S.
§218. 385 (4) , a disclosure statement shall be provided to the City
upon the sale of the Bonds.
SECTION 5. The Preliminary Official Statement (the "Preli-
minary Official Statement") in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B, is hereby approved, and the City hereby
approves the use by the Underwriters in connection with the
offering and sale of the Bonds of the Preliminary Official
Statement and of an Official Statement in substantially the form
of the Preliminary Official Statement, with such revisions as
shall hereafter be approved by the Mayor or Vice Mayor. The
Commission hereby further approves the use by the Underwriters of
any supplement or amendment to the Official Statement which is
necessary so that the Official Statement does not include any
untrue statement of a material fact and does not omit to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein not mis-
leading. The Mayor or Vice Mayor is hereby authorized and
directed to execute an Official Statement, and any amendment or
supplement thereto, and thereupon to cause the Official Statement
and any such amendment or supplement to be delivered to the
Underwriters. Approval of the Mayor or Vice Mayor of changes,
insertions and omissions to the form of the Preliminary Official
Statement and the Official Statement shall be conclusively
evidenced by his execution and delivery thereof.
SECTION 6. The proposal submitted by the Underwriters, in
the form of the Purchase Contract, presented at this meeting, a

offering to purchase the Bonds at an aggregate purchase price of
not less than 98% of the initial purchase price of the Bonds by
the public, plus accrued interest from August 1, 1986, to the
date of delivery of said Bonds, is hereby accepted and said Bonds
are hereby awarded to the Underwriters at said price orany
greater price upon the terms and conditions set forth in said

may be approved by the persons executing said Purchase Contract,
the execution of said Purchase Contract to be conclusive evidence
of the approval of any such changes, insertions and omissions.
SECTION 7. Chemical Bank, New York, New York is hereby
appointed to serve as Escrow Agent under the Escrow Deposit
Agreement, approved in form by the Commission in the Authorizing
Resolution. The Authorized Officers are hereby authorized to
- 3 -
• execute and deliver the Escrow Deposit Agreement on behalf of the.
City, their execution of said Escrow Deposit Agreement to be
conclusive evidence of the approval of such changes, insertions
and omissions thereto (which may include changes in dollar
amounts) , and such Authorized Officers are hereby authorized to
affix and attest to the seal of the City on the Escrow Deposit
Agreement. The appointment of Chemical Bank as Escrow Agent
under the Escrow Deposit Agreement is hereby approved.

Bonds, the Authorizing Resolution, this Resolution, the Purchase
Contract and the Escrow Deposit Agreement and also to do all acts
and things required of them by the provisions of this Resolution.
SECTION 11. If the cost of a municipal bond insurance' policy
premium is less than the present value debt service savings
resulting from the difference between the debt service on the

of Miami Beach
Miami Beach, Florida
Dear Commissioners:
We have examined certified copies of the legal proceedings
and the validation proceedings, Resolution No. 86-18489,
Resolution No. 86- , and other resolutions of the City
Commission of the City of Miami Beach, Florida (the "City" ) , as
amended and supplemented (collectively, the "Resolution" ) and
other proofs submitted, relative to the issuance and sale of
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA
General Obligation Bonds, Series 1986
Dated , 1986
The City Commission of the
City of Miami Beach
, 1986
Page 2
maturing in such amounts and at such times, bearing interest and
subject to redemption, all' as provided in the Resolution.
As to questions of fact material to our opinion, we have
relied upon such certified proceedings and other certifications
of public officials furnished to us, without undertaking to
verify the same by independent investigation. We have also
examined one of the Bonds as executed and authenticated and have
assumed that all other Bonds have been similarly executed and
authenticated.
From such examination we are of the opinion that such pro-
ceedings and proofs show lawful authority for the issuance and
sale of the Bonds pursuant to the Constitution and other laws of
the State of Florida, including the Charter of the City, that the
Bonds constitute valid and binding general obligations of the
City for the payment of which and. the interest on which the full
faith, credit and taxing power of the City are irrevocably
pledged, and that all the taxable property within the City
(excluding homesteads to the extent provided under applicable
law) is subject to the levy of an ad valorem tax, without
limitation as to rate or amount, for the payment of the Bonds and
the interest thereon.
On December 17, 1985, the United States House of Representa-
tives adopted H.R. 3838, 99th Congress, 1st Session with an
effective date of January 1, 1986. H.R. 3838 includes provisions
which would apply to the Bonds retroactive to their date of
issue. The Bonds do not comply with the provisions of H.R. 3838
and interest on the Bonds therefore would not be exempt from
Federal income taxation if H.R. 3838 is enacted in the form
adopted by the House of Representatives.
However, in a Joint Statement on March 14, 1986, the Chair-
men and ranking members of the House Ways and Means Committee and
Senate Finance Committee and the Secretary of the Treasury agreed
to endorse a postponement of the effective dates of certain pro-
visions of H.R. 3838 for certain governmental bonds issued before
September 1, 1986 or the date of enactment of tax reform legisla-
tion, if earlier. In our opinion, the Bonds are governmental
bonds for which the Joint Statement endorses a postponement of
the effective dates of certain provisions of H.R. 3838 and inter-
est on the Bonds would be exempt from Federal income taxation
under H.R. 3838 as adopted by the House of Representatives with
effective dates amended to conform with the Joint Statement,

except that under H.R. 3838 interest on the Bonds may be subject
to a minimum tax for taxable years beginning after 1987 during
any period when such Bonds are held by property and casualty
insurance companies.
On June 24, 1986, the Senate adopted a tax reform bill in
the form of a substitute version of H.R. 3838. The Senate bill
includes provisions affecting tax-exempt bonds, but generally
would not apply to bonds issued prior to the date of enactment.
In our opinion, interest on the Bonds would be exempt from
Federal income taxation under the Senate bill a.s adopted on Ji,;he. _.
24, 1986, except that under the Senate bill interest on Bonds may
be subject to an alternative minimum tax during any period when
such Bonds are held by corporations.
We express no opinion as to the exemption of interest on the
Bonds from Federal income taxation if tax legislation is enacted
in a form which differs from H.R. 3838, as adopted by the House
of Representatives with effective dates amended to conform with
the Joint Statement, or the Senate bill as adopted on June 24,
1986.
It is to be understood that the rights of the holders of the
Bonds and the enforceability thereof may be subject to bank-
ruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar
laws affecting creditors ' rights heretofore or hereafter enacted,
to the extent constitutionally applicable, and that their
enforcement may also be subject to the exercise of judicial dis-
cretion in appropriate cases.
