(9) As required by Section 159.29(4) of the Industrial Act, adequate provision shall be
made in the Loan Agreement for the operation, repair and maintenance of the Project at the
expense of the Medical Center, and for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Bonds.
(10) As required by Section 159.29(5) of the Industrial Act, the costs of the Project to
be paid from the proceeds of the Bonds shall be "costs" of a "project" within the meaning of
Sections 159.27(2) and 159.27(5), respectively, of the Industrial Act.
(11) The Medical Center has advised the Authority that no certificates of need from the
Florida Agency for Health Care Administration are required with respect to the Project.
(12) Review and comment from the Health Council of South Florida, Inc. (the "Health
Council") as to the issuance of the Series 2000B Bonds was requested and the Health Council
has advised that it has no material concerns with respect thereto.
(13) Pursuant to Section 218.385 of the Florida Statutes, as amended, the sale of the
Bonds through a negotiated private placement by the Placement Agent rather than a public sale
by competitive bid is in the best interests of the Authority and the Medical Center, and the
Authority hereby further finds and determines that the following reasons necessitate such
negotiated private placement of the Bonds by the Placement Agent:
(a) Bonds issued by public bodies for the benefit of not-for-profit hospitals such
as the Medical Center ("health care bonds") generally involve specialized situations and
transactions which need detailed analysis, structuring and explanation throughout the
course of the issue by sophisticated financial advisors, underwriters, investment bankers
and similar parties, such as the Placement Agent, experienced in the structuring of issues
of health care bonds (hereinafter referred to as "health care investment bankers"), much
9
Miami; 23090-00004; Donmcol #: 4898v3
of which would not generally be available on a timely basis from the ultimate underwriter
of health care bonds issued pursuant to a public competitive sale.
(b) Health care bond issues generally involve a rather detailed and often
complicated explanation to potential investors of the structure of the issue, the nature of
the underlying obligor and the impact upon each of the foregoing of Federal and state
health care regulations, including Medicare and Medicaid practices and procedures, and
the assistance of a health care investment banker in preparing necessary offering
memoranda and related information is extremely desirable from the standpoint of the
obligor involved in the issue and from the standpoint of the public body issuing the health
care bonds in ensuring full and accurate disclosure of all relevant information.
(c) For the foregoing and related reasons, most of the health care bonds
heretofore issued throughout the United States have involved participation throughout the
structuring and offering process of health care investment bankers who have purchased or
arranged for the purchase of the health care bonds through a negotiated sale or negotiated
private placement rather than through a public sale by competitive bid; accordingly, the
market may well be more receptive to an issue of health care bonds placed and sold on a
negotiated basis than to one sold by competitive public sale.
(d) Finally, the market for health care bonds such as the Bonds is volatile,
making the presence of the Placement Agent, who has participated and will participate in
the structuring of the Bond issue, desirable in attempting to obtain the most attractive
financing for the Authority and the Medical Center.
Section 2. Authorization of the Bonds. There is hereby authorized the issuance, under
and pursuant to the Trust Indenture, of the Series 2000A Bonds, to be designated as "City of

$120,000,000, and the loan of the proceeds thereof to the Medical Center to (i) pay (or

to a debt service reserve and (iv) finance costs of issuance of the Series 2000B Bonds, including
fiscal, legal and other incidental costs and charges.
The principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds shall not be deemed to
constitute a debt, liability or obligation of the City or of the State of Florida or of any political
subdivision thereof, but shall be payable solely from the sources pledged therefor under the Trust
Indenture and neither the faith and credit nor any taxing power of the City or of the State of

ANALYSIS
The City Commission ofthe City of Miami Beach adopted Ordinance No. 90-2701 on July 25, 1990,
creating the City of Miami Beach Health Facilities Authority to assist health facilities in the
acquisition, construction, financing, and refinancing of health facility related projects in the City.
The Ordinance, as amended, provides that the Authority can issue bonds and notes for the purpose
of providing funds to pay all or any part of the cost of any project or any other lawful purpose and
to issue refunding bonds. Further, it provides that the City Commission must approve any bonds
issued by the Authority as the final step in the approval process.
On June 6, 2000, the issuance of these bonds was discussed by the Finance and Citywide Project
Committee, which recommended that the item be forwarded to the Commission for approval.
AGENDA ITEM f2..-1 C
DATE ~- ,--au
On June 6, 2000, the Health Facilities Authority adopted a Resolution authorizing the issuance of
the Series 2000A Bonds, not to exceed $120,000,000 principal amount, to (i) pay (or reimburse) the
cost of (a) the acquisition by the Medical Center of the facilities commonly known as the Miami
Heart Institute, (b) the acquisition by the Medical Center of land and (c) the undertaking of certain
other capital improvements owned or to be owned by the Medical Center, (ii) if desirable, fund a
deposit to a debt service reserve and (iii) pay certain expenses in connection with the issuance of the
Series A Bonds.
Also on June 6, 2000, the Health Facilities Authority adopted a Resolution authorizing the issuance
of the Series 2000B Bonds, not to exceed $90,000,000 principal amount, to (i) refund and defease
all of the currently outstanding City of Miami Beach Health Facilities Authority Hospital Revenue
Refunding Bonds, Series 1992 (Mount Sinai Medical Center Project) issued for the benefit of the
Medical Center, (ii) if necessary, pay (orreimburse) the cost of the Project, (iii) if desirable, fund
a debt service reserve for the Bonds and (iv) pay certain expenses in connection with the issuance
of the Series B Bonds.
Additionally, the Authority held a public hearing as required by Section 147(f) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, for the purpose of giving all interested persons an opportunity to express
their views in connection with the Authority's proposed issuance of its Hospital Revenue Bonds
(Mount Sinai Medical Center of Florida Project).
These Bonds and the interest thereon, shall not be deemed to constitute a debt, liability or obligation
of the City of Miami Beach and shall be payable solely from the revenues referred to in the Bond
Resolution and neither the faith and credit nor any taxing power of the City of Miami Beach is
pledged to the payment of principal, a redemption premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds.
The issuance of the Bonds serve a valid public purpose by advancing the commerce, welfare and
prosperity of the City and its people. The purpose of assisting health providers in securing access
to the credit markets is achieved in this transaction. The Authority will receive fees that will be used
for City costs for professional services and other expenses ofthe HFA as a result of this transaction.
