The Bonds are being issued, together with the Authority's Multifamily Housing Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1998A ("Series 1998A Bonds") for the purpose of providing financing for the acquisition, construction and equipping of a 256 unit multifamily residential housing facility to be located in Miami-Dade County, Florida (Doral Terrace Apartments Project). The Bonds will be secured by a Subordinate Mortgage which will be subordinate to any mortgage securing the Series 1998A Bonds. The Bonds are not general obligations of the Issuer but are limited obligations payable solely from the trust estate pledged pursuant to the payment thereof and shall be a valid claim of the respective holders thereof only against the trust estate so pledged as aforesaid. Neither the State of Florida, Miami-Dade County, nor any agency or political subdivision thereof (other than the Issuer to the limited extent provided in the Indenture) shall be obligated to pay the principal and redemption price of the Bonds, the interest th

 

ereon or other costs incident thereto except from the trust estate. Neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the State of Florida, Miami-Dade County, or any agency or political subdivision thereof (including the Issuer) is pledged to the payment of the principal or redemption price of the Bonds or the interest thereon or other costs incident thereto.

 

The Bonds will be issued in minimum denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples thereof. The Bonds shall be sold only by limited private offering to one or more sophisticated investors who will be required to represent to the Authority that it is a sophisticated investor that is capable of assessing the risks and merits of investing in the Bonds and is capable of bearing the risk of loss associated with such an investment. Additionally, the Authority intends to restrict the transfer of the Bonds to sophisticated investors that can make similar representations. The interest rate on the Bonds shall not exceed 9.00 percent per annum. The maximum interest rate for the month of August 1998 is 8.16 percent.

 

RECOMMENDATION: The Executive Director recommends that the Board approve the negotiated sale of the Bonds and authorize an interest rate Not Exceeding 9.00 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 Housing Finance Authority of Miami-Dade County, Florida. 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. (Att. #4)
