2. APPROVAL OF FISCAL SUFFICIENCY OF NOT EXCEEDING

$300,000,000 STATE OF FLORIDA, DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, PRESERVATION 2000 REVENUE BONDS, SERIES 1998B:

 

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 1998B (the "Bonds.") The proceeds of the Bonds are to be used for the purpose of paying the cost of acquisition of lands and related resources in furtherance of outdoor recreation and natural resources conservation in the State of Florida. It is anticipated the Governor and Cabinet will adopt on March 24, 1998 the Tenth 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 $1,400,000 in principal amount was outstanding and unpaid on February 28, 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 $2,502,615,000 Preservation 2000 Revenue and Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1991A, 1992A, 1993A, 1994A, 1995A, 1996A, 1997A, 1997B and 1998A of which $1,906,525,000 in principal amount was outstanding and unpaid on February 28, 1998. The proposed Bonds shall be issued on parity with the outstanding and unpaid Preservation 2000 Revenue Bonds, Series 1991A,

1992A, 1993A, 1994A, 1995A, 1996A, 1997A, 1997B and 1998A 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. #2)

 

3. APPROVAL OF FISCAL SUFFICIENCY OF NOT EXCEEDING $2,785,000 STATE OF FLORIDA, BOARD OF REGENTS, UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA HOUSING FACILITY REVENUE BONDS, SERIES 1998:

The Bonds will be payable on a parity with the $1,980,000 State of Florida, Board of Regents, University of South Florida Housing Facility Revenue Bonds, Series 1996B. The Governing Board of the Division adopted the First Supplemental Resolution authorizing the issuance of the Bonds on November 4, 1997. It is anticipated the Go

 

vernor and Cabinet will adopt the sale resolution at the Cabinet meeting of March 24, 1998.

 

A study of this proposal and the estimates of revenue expected to accrue from the Pledged Revenues indicate that the proposed bonds and all other outstanding bonds have a lien on the Pledged Revenues are fiscally sufficient
