The Governor and Cabinet adopted on June 26, 1997 the Twelfth Supplemental Authorizing
Resolution authorizing the issuance of the 1997 Series Bonds. It is anticipated
the Governor and Cabinet will adopt on July 14, 1998 the Thirteenth Supplemental Authorizing Resolution authorizing the
issuance of the 1998 Series Bonds. The State Board of Education has heretofore issued Public Education Bonds,
Series A and B of which $136,315,000 in principal amount was outstanding and
unpaid on June 30, 1998; and which bonds constitute a prior lien on the Gross
Receipts Taxes which are required to be deposited in the Public Education Capital
Outlay and Debt Service Trust Fund (the "Gross Receipts Taxes.") The State Board has heretofore issued Public Education Capital Outlay Bonds,
Series 1985, 1985-A, 1986-B, 1986-C, 1987-A, 1989-A, 1989-B, 1990, 1991-A, 1991-B,
1991-C and 1992-A, 1992 Series B, 1992 Series C, 1993 Series A, 1993 Series

A, 1994 Series B, 1994 Series C, 1995 Series A, 1995 Series B, 1995 Series C,
1995 Series D, 1995 AGENDA July 14, 1998 Page 2 Series E, 1995 Series F, 1996 Series A, 1996 Series B and 1997 Series A of
which $6,269,605,000 in principal amount was outstanding and unpaid on June
30, 1998. The proposed Bonds shall be junior, inferior, and subordinate to the
outstanding and unpaid Public Education Bonds, Series A and B and to the outstanding
and unpaid portion of Series 1985, 1985-A, 1986-B, 1986-C, 1987-A, 1989-A, 1989-B,
1990, 1991-A, 1991-B, 1991-C and 1992-A Bonds as to lien on and source and security
for payment from the Gross Receipts Taxes. The proposed Bonds shall be issued
on a parity as to lien on and source and security for payment from the Gross
Receipts Taxes with the outstanding and unpaid Public Education Capital Outlay
Bonds, 1992 Series B, 1992 Series C, 1993 Series A, 1993 Series B, 1993 Series

Series E, 1995 Series F, 1996 Series A, 1996 Series B and 1997 Serie s A. A study of this proposal and the estimates of revenue expected to accrue from
the Gross Receipts Tax, indicate that the proposed Bonds and all other outstanding
bonds having a lien on the Gross Receipts Tax are fiscally sufficient and that
the proposal will be executed pursuant to the applicable provisions of law. 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 $90,000,000 STATE OF FLORIDA,
DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, SAVE OUR COAST REFUNDING REVENUE BONDS,
SERIES 1998A: 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 $90,000,000
State of Florida, Department of Environmental Protection, Save Our Coast Refunding
Revenue Bonds, Series 1998A (the "Bonds") for the purpose of refunding all or
portions of certain outstanding series of Save Our Coast Revenue Bonds. It is
anticipated the Governor and Cabinet will adopt a resolution on July 14, 1998
authorizing the issuance and sale of the proposed Bonds. The Bonds shall have a first lien on and be secured by a portion of the Documentary
Stamp Tax imposed pursuant to Chapter 201, Florida Statutes. 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. AGENDA July 14, 1998 Page 3 The estimate of funds pledged to the Bonds indicates that in no State fiscal
year will the debt service requirements of the Bonds exceed the pledged revenues
available for payment of such debt service requirements and that in no State
fiscal year will the monies pledged for the debt service requirements be less
than the required coverage amount. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board approve the fiscal sufficiency
of the proposal outlined above. (Att. #3) 4. APPROVAL OF FISCAL DETERMINATION OF AN AMOUNT NOT EXCEEDING $10,100,000 FLORIDA HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION HOUSING REVENUE BONDS,

series to be designated) (College Park Apartments Project) (the "Bonds") for
the purpose of financing the development and construction of a multifamily residential
rental development in Collier County, Florida, to be occupied by persons and
families of low, moderate and middle income. The Bonds shall not constitute an obligation, either general or special, of
the State or of any local government thereof; neither the State nor any local
government thereof shall be liable thereon. Neither the full faith, revenue,
credit nor taxing power of the State of Florida, or any local governments thereof
shall be pledged to the payment of the principal of, premium (if any), or interest
on the Bonds. The Bonds shall be payable as to principal, premium (if any),
and interest solely out of revenues and other amounts pledged therefor. RECOMMENDATION: A study of this proposal and of estimates of revenue and other
available moneys expected to accrue indicate that the issue meets the requirements
for the fiscal determination required by Section 420.505, Florida Statutes,
as stated in Article VII, Subsection 16(c) of the revised Constitution of 1968,
and the Executive Director recommends that the State Board of Administration
of Florida (the "Board") approve the fiscal determination thereof. It is further
recommended that, pursuant to the fiscal determination requirements of Subsection
16(c) of Article VII of the revised Constitution of 1968, the Board find and
determine that in no State fiscal year will the debt service requirements of
the Bonds proposed to be issued and all other bonds secured by the same pledged
AGENDA July 14, 1998 Page 4 revenues exceed the pledged revenues available for payment of such debt service
requirements. The Board has relied upon information from others but has not
independently verified the accuracy or completeness of such information. The
Board does not assume any responsibility for, and makes no warranty (express
or implied) with respect to any other aspect of this bond issue except for fiscal
determination. (Att. #4) 5. PROPOSED UNFUNDED ACTUARIAL LIABILITY (UAL) WORK PLAN FOR REVIEW AND COMMENT
BY THE BOARD. THE UAL WORKPLAN IS PROPOSED IN TWO PHASES AS OUTLINED BELOW: Pursuant to the charge contained in Governor Chiles' letter of March 26, 1998,
and the language in CS/CS/HB 3491 passed in the 1998 Session of the Florida
Legislature, the staffs of the State Board of Administration and the Division
of Retirement have prepared the attached Phase I UAL workplan. (See attachments
A and B). This plan has been reviewed by the House and Senate Appropriations/Ways
and Means Committees, House and Senate Governmental Operations Committees, the
Governor's Office of Planning and Budgeting (collectively-the working group),
and other interested parties. All of the proposed tasks, assignments and time
lines have been agreed upon by the assignees and work is already underway on
some of the more routine aspects of the effort. Although the statutory language is discretionary as to the appointment of legislative
members to the working group, it is expected that appointments will be made
later in the work cycle. In other words, we recommend that the staff-generated
analytical work be completed and ultimately presented as the factual background
information necessary for the real policy formulation phase. Phase I is outlined
in the workplan as attachment A--essentially the fact-finding phase. Phase II
will begin with the first meeting of the working group as per the outline in
attachment B. In Phase II, review of all the work products will take place along with presentations
by the outside consultants. The various policy questions will be identified
and attempts made to reach consensus. Throughout the period of analysis and
background preparation, routine status reports will be prepared and submitted
to the Board. Draft work products will also be submitted as will final versions.
Board members or their designees can participate at any time in the process
at their discretion. During Phase II, the Board will be asked to put their thoughts
on the various policy questions on the record. Ultimately, formal recommendations
will be proposed to the Board and submitted to the Legislature in time to meet
the statutory deadline of March 1, 1999. AGENDA July 14, 1998 Page 5 Although a precise workplan is laid out in the attachments, please recognize
that it is subject to change as needed. The State Board of Administration staff remains cognizant of the fact that
the Trustees have a fiduciary responsibility in a matter such as this, and plans
to provide full and ongoing briefings as information and developments warrant.
