6. APPROVAL OF FISCAL SUFFICIENCY OF NOT EXCEEDING
$300,000,000 STATE OF FLORIDA, DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION,
PRESERVATION 2000 REVENUE BONDS, SERIES 1997:
The Division of Bond Finance of the State Board
of Administration (the "Division"), on behalf of the
Department of Environmental Protection of Florida, has submitted
for approval as to fiscal sufficiency a proposal to issue Not
Exceeding $300,000,000 State of Florida, Department of Environmental
Protection, Preservation 2000 Revenue Bonds, Series 1997A (the
"Bonds.") The proceeds of the Bonds are to be used
to finance the acquisition of lands in Florida, for the purposes
of outdoor recreation and natural resources preservation. It
is anticipated the Governor and Cabinet will adopt on March 25,
1997 the fourth Subsequent Resolution authorizing the sale and
issuance of the Bonds.
The Florida Outdoor Recreational Development Council, predecessor to the Department of Natural Resources, heretofore issued $20,000,000 State of Florida, Florida Outdoor Recreation Revenue Bonds, dated July 1, 1968, of which $2,700,000 in principal amount was outstanding and unpaid on February 23, 1997 (the "Prior Lien Obligations.") The Prior Lien Obligations have a first lien on the pledged revenues and the lien of the Preservation 2000 Revenue Bonds shall be junior, subordinate, and inferior to the claim of the Prior Lien Obligations against the pledged revenues.

The Department of Environmental Protection has heretofore
issued $1,800,000,000 Preservation 2000 Revenue Bonds, Series
1991A, 1992A, 1993A, 1994A, 1995A and 1996A of which $1,668,600,000
in principal amount was outstanding and unpaid on February 28,
1997. The proposed Bonds shall be issued on parity with the outstanding
and unpaid Preservation 2000 Revenue Bonds, Series 1991A, 1992A,
1993A, 1994A 1995A and 1996A as to source and security for payment.
The Bonds shall not be secured by a pledge of the
full faith and credit nor the taxing power of the State of Florida
or any political subdivision thereof.
The estimate of funds pledged to the Bonds indicates that sufficient monies can be pledged to exceed the debt service requirements of the proposed issue and that in no State fiscal year will the monies pledged for the debt service
requirement of the proposed issue be less than the
required coverage amount.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board approve the fiscal sufficiency of the proposal outlined above. (Att. #6)
7. INTEREST RATE EXCEPTION PURSUANT TO SECTION 215.84
F.S.:
The Riverwood Community Development District (the
"District") (Charlotte County, Florida), has submitted
a request for authority to issue bonds at an interest rate Not
to Exceed 8.50% for an aggregate amount Not to Exceed $12,980,000
Riverwood Community Development District, Special Assessment Revenue
Refunding Bonds, Series 1997A and Riverwood Community Development
District, Special Assessment Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1997B
(collectively, the "Bonds.")
The Bonds are being issued for the purpose of refunding and restructuring debt service on the District's Special Assessment Revenue Bonds, Series 1992A and 1992B. The Bonds are primarily secured by and payable from non ad valorem assessments levied by the District pursuant to Chapter 170, Florida Statutes, on real property within the District deriving a benefit from the assessable improvements financed thereby. The Bonds are limited obligations of the District payable solely out of the amounts pledged therefor under the Indenture. Neither the property, the full faith and credit, nor the taxing power of the District, Charlotte County, Florida, the State of Florida, or any political subdivision thereof, is pledged as security for the payment of the Bonds. The Bonds do not constitute an indebtedness of the District,
AGENDA

Page Seven
Charlotte County, Florida, the State of Florida,
or any political subdivision thereof, within the meaning of any
constitutional or statutory provisions or limitation.
The Bonds are expected to be sold via negotiated
sale to Prager, McCarthy & Sealy at a private sale at an aggregate
discount including underwriter's and original issue discount,
estimated not to exceed 3.50%. The Bonds shall not be sold to
the general public. The interest rate on the Bonds shall not
exceed 8.50 percent per annum. The maximum interest rate for
the month of March 1997 is 8.65 percent. The District intends
to sell the Bonds in April 1997. Although the proposed rate of
interest on the Bonds does not exceed the maximum interest rate
in effect for March 1997, the District is requesting an authorization
at 8.50% to insure they will be authorized to sell the Bonds in
the event that the maximum rate for April 1997 drops below 8.50%.
RECOMMENDATION: The Executive Director recommends
that the Board approve an interest rate exception on the Bonds
described hereinabove and authorize a rate Not to Exceed 8.50
percent per annum. This authorization is to in no way be construed
as an approval or recommendation of the issue by the State Board
of Administration. In granting this interest rate exception,
the State Board of Administration has relied upon certain information
provided by the Riverwood Community Development District. The
State Board of Administration has not independently verified and
does not intend to independently verify any of this furnished
information. The State Board of Administration does not assume
any responsibility for, and makes no warranty (expressed or implied)
with respect to, the accuracy or completeness of said information.
