SUMMARY: The Gas Revenue Bonds, Series 1998 (interest rates from 4.25% to 5.0%) and the Gas Revenue Bonds, Series 1997B (interest rates from 4.5% to 5.0%) are eligible for refunding and defeasance on September 1, 2007. In order to defease the 1997B Bonds, a transfer of funds from the c.I.P. fund in the amount of $3,100,000 to the Gas operating fund 423 is required. Funds will come from project 315-96378 in the amount of $2,240,000, Pasco new mains and service lines and project 315- 96379 in the amount of $860,000, Gas meter change out Pasco. These two projects, which were geared for the increasing housing market, will not be impacted by the transfer of these funds because of the slowdown in the construction industry. A quarterly budget amendment will transfer these funds to the debt service funds for the payoff of the 1997B Bonds. The gas system will use the savings from the 1997 A defeasance to shorten the duration the 1998 bonds are outstanding by four years, with the bonds being fully paid off on September 2019 instead of September 2023. This refunding / defeasance is expected to have a net present value savings of approximately $355,000 to the City. The bonds will be sold competitively and the bonds will not be refunded if adequate savings are not going to be realized.

In the event of any such adjustment in the Series 2007 Bonds, no rebidding or recalculation of the bid submitted with respect to such Series 2007 Bonds will be required or permitted.

Designation of Term Bonds Bidders may specify that the annual Principal Amounts of the Series 2007 Bonds coming due in any two or more consecutive years may be combined to form one or more maturities of Series 2007 Term Bonds scheduled to mature in the last of such years with the preceding annual Principal Amounts for such years constituting mandatory Amortization Installments of Series 2007 Bonds to be selected by lot and redeemed at a price of par plus accrued interest in accordance with the Resolution.

The City reserves the right to determine the Successful Bidder for the Series 2007 Bonds, to reject any or all bids and to waive any irregularity or informality in any bid. The Series 2007 Bonds will be awarded to the bidder (herein referred to as the "Successful Bidder" as to the Series 2007 Bonds) offering such interest rate or rates and purchase price which will produce the lowest true interest cost to the City over the life of the Series 2007 Bonds. True interest cost for the Series 2007 Bonds (expressed as an annual interest rate) will be that annual A-3 Item # 1 Attachment number 1 Page 10 of 23 interest rate being twice that factor of discount rate, compounded semiannually, which when applied against each semiannual debt service payment (interest, or principal and interest, as due) for the Series 2007 Bonds will equate the sum of such discounted semiannual payments to the bid price (inclusive of accrued interest). Such semiannual debt service payments begin on September I, 2007. The true interest cost shall be calculated from the expected closing date of the Series 2007 Bonds (the "Closing Date") and shall be based upon the principal amounts of each serial maturity set forth in this Notice of Bond Sale and the bid price set forth in the Proposal for the Series 2007 Bonds submitted in accordance with the Notice of Bond Sale. In case of a tie, the City may select the Successful Bidder by lot. It is requested that each Proposal for the Series 2007 Bonds be accompanied by a computation of such true interest cost to the City under the term of the Proposal for Bonds, but such computation is not to be considered as part of the Proposal for Bonds. Interest Rates Permitted The Series 2007 Bonds shall bear interest expressed in multiples of one-eighth (1/8) or one- twentieth (1/20) of one percent. No coupon interest rate specified for any maturity of the Series 2007 Bonds maybe less than one percent (1.0%) or more than six percent (6.0%). Should an interest rate be specified which results in annual interest payments not being equally divisible between the semiannual payments in cents the first semiannual payment will be reduced to the next lower cent and the second semiannual payment will be raised to the next higher cent. It shall not be necessary that all Series 2007 Bonds bear the same rate of interest, provided that all Series 2007 Bonds maturing on the same date shall bear the same rate of interest.

The Code contains other provisions that could result in tax consequences, upon which Bond Counsel renders no opinion, as a result of ownership of the Series 2007 Bonds or the inclusion in certain computations (including, without limitation, those related to the corporate alternative minimum tax and environmental tax) of interest that is excluded from gross income.

Available funds of the System will be deposited by the City into the Escrow Account established with the Escrow Agent and invested in cash and/or direct obligations of the United States in order to provide sufficient funds on September 1, 2007, to pay and redeem the Series 1997B Bonds maturing on and after September 1, 2007 in the aggregate principal amount $3,500,000, at the redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Upon issuance of the Series 2007 Bonds and based upon the deposit into the Escrow Fund of the cash and/or direct obligations into the Escrow Fund as described above and the verification of the mathematical accuracy of the sufficiency thereof to pay and redeem the Refunded Bonds as described above by a firm of independent certified public accountants, Bond Counsel will deliver and opinion to the effect that the Refunded Bonds will no longer be outstanding for purposes of the resolution under which they were issued and the pledge of and lien on the Pledged Funds created by or pursuant to said Resolution with respect to such Refunded Bonds will cease, terminate and be discharged. ESTIMATED SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS The proceeds to be received from the sale of the Series 2007 Bonds are expected to be applied as follows: Sources of Funds Par Amount Less: Net Original Issue Discount Funds on Deposit for Refunded Bonds Total Sources of Funds Uses of Funds Deposit to Escrow Fund Underwriter's Discount and Costs of Issuance (1) Total Uses of Funds (1)Includes the premiums for the Municipal Bond Insurance Policy and for the Reserve Fund Surety Policy in an amount sufficient to satisfy the Reserve Requirement applicable to the Series 2007 Bonds. 6 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 9 of 53 DESCRIPTION OF THE SERIES 2007 BONDS General The Series 2007 Bonds will be issued in fully registered book-entry only form in authorized denominations of $5,000 and integral multiples thereof and will be dated dated of delivery, will bear interest (payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year commencing September 1, 2007) at the rates per annum and will mature on the dates and in the amounts, all as set forth on the cover page of this Official Statement. U.S. Bank National Association, Orlando, Florida, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar with respect to the Series 2007 Bonds. Book-Entry Only System THE INFORMATION IN THIS SECTION CONCERNING DTC AND DTC'S BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM HAS BEEN OBTAINED FROM SOURCES THAT THE CITY BELIEVES TO BE RELIABLE, BUT THE CITY TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACCURACY THEREOF. The Series 2007 Bonds will be available in book-entry form only, in denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof. Purchasers of the Series 2007 Bonds will not receive certificates representing their interests in the Series 2007 Bonds purchased. The Underwriter is to confirm original issuance purchases with statements containing certain terms of the Series 2007 Bonds purchased. The following information regarding The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC") and the book-entry only system of registration has been obtained by the City from DTC. No representation is made by the City as to its accuracy or correctness. The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, New York, will act as securities depository for the Series 2007 Bonds. The Series 2007 Bonds will be issued as fully- registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully- registered Series 2007 Bond will be issued for each maturity of the Series 2007 Bonds, as set forth on the inside cover page hereof, and will be deposited with DTC. DTC, the world's largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 2 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments from over 85 7 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 10 of 53 countries that DTC's participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilities the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC, in turn, is owned by a number of Direct Participants of DTC and Members of the National Securities Clearing Corporation, Government Securities Clearing Corporation, MBS Clearing Corporation, and Emerging Markets Clearing Corporation, (NSCC, GSCC, MBSCC, and EMCC, also subsidiaries of DTCC), as well as by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange LLC, and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). DTC has Standard & Poor's highest rating: AAA. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants area on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com. So long as the book-entry only system is in effect, beneficial interests in the Series 2007 Bonds will be available in book-entry form only, in the principal amount of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof. Purchasers of beneficial interests in the Series 2007 Bonds will not receive certificates representing their beneficial interests in the Series 2007 Bonds purchased. Each Underwriter is to confirm original issuance purchases of beneficial interests with statements containing certain terms of the Series 2007 Bonds in which such beneficial interests are purchased. Purchases of Series 2007 Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Series 2007 Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Series 2007 Bonds ("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Series 2007 Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Series 2007 Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Series 2007 Bonds is discontinued. 8 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 11 of 53 To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Series 2007 Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Series 2007 Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Series 2007 Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Series 2007 Bonds are credited, which mayor may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. The Paying Agent will make payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2007 Bonds to DTC or such other nominee, as may be requested by an authorized representative or DTC, as registered owner of the Series 2007 Bonds. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the City and the Paying Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC nor its nominee, the Paying Agent subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the City or the Paying Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. The City and the Paying Agent will send redemption notices to DTC. If less than all of the Series 2007 Bonds within an issue are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Series 2007 Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the City as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Coo's consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Series 2007 9 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 12 of 53 Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). THE CITY AND THE PAYING AGENT WILL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OR OBLIGATION TO THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS, DTC PARTICIPANTS OR THE PERSONS FOR WHOM DTC PARTICIPANTS ACT AS NOMINEES WITH RESPECT TO THE SERIES 2007 BONDS FOR THE ACCURACY OF RECORDS OF DTC, CEDE & CO. OR ANY DTC PARTICIPANT WITH RESPECT TO THE SERIES 2007 BONDS OR THE PROVIDING OF NOTICE OR PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, OR INTEREST, OR ANY PREMIUM ON THE SERIES 2007 BONDS, TO DTC PARTICIPANTS OR BENEFICIAL OWNERS, OR THE SELECTION OF SERIES 2007 BONDS FOR REDEMPTION. The City and the Paying Agent cannot give any assurances that DTC, DTC Participants or others will distribute payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2007 Bonds paid to DTC or its nominee, or any redemption or other notices, to the Beneficial Owners, or that they will do so on a timely basis or that DTC will serve or act in a manner described in this Official Statement. For every transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Series 2007 Bonds, the Beneficial Owner may be charged a sum sufficient to cover any tax, fee or other government charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Series 2007 Bonds at any time by giving notice to the City and the Paying Agent and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, Series 2007 Bonds are required to be printed and delivered. In addition, the City may determine to discontinue the use of book- entry transfers through DTC (or any successor securities depository). Under such circumstances, certificated Series 2007 Bonds are required to be delivered as described below. In the event that the book-entry only system is discontinued, the following provisions will govern the transfer and exchange of Series 2007 Bonds. The Series 2007 Bonds will be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of corresponding bonds in other authorized denominations and of the same series and maturity, upon surrender thereof at the principal corporate trust office of the Bond Registrar. The transfer of any Series 2007 Bonds will be registered on the books maintained by the Bond Registrar for such purpose only upon the surrender thereof to the Bond Registrar with a duly executed written instrument of transfer in form and with guaranty of signatures satisfactory to the Bond Registrar, containing written instructions as to the details of transfer of such Series 2007 Bonds, along with the social security number or federal employer identification number of such transferee. The City and the Bond Registrar may charge the registered owners a sum sufficient to reimburse them for any expenses incurred in making any 10 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 13 of 53 exchange or transfer after the first such exchange or transfer following the delivery of the Series 2007 Bonds. The Bond Registrar or the City may also require payment from the registered owners or their transferees, as the case may be, of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, fee or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. Such charges and expenses shall be paid before any such new Series 2007 Bonds shall be delivered. Neither the City nor the Bond Registrar shall be required to register the transfer or exchange of any Series 2007 Bonds during the period commencing on the fifteenth day (whether or not a business day) of the month next preceding an interest payment date and ending on such interest payment date or, in the case of any proposed redemption of a Series 2007 Bonds, after such Series 2007 Bonds or any portion thereof has been selected for redemption. Redemption Provisions The Series 2007 Bonds are not subject to redemption prior to their stated maturity at the option of the City; provided, however, that, if the winning bidder elects for certain maturities of the Series 2007 Bonds to be Term Bonds, such Series 2007 Term Bonds will be subject to mandatory redemption from amortization installments as provided in such winning bid. Notice of Redemption As long as the book-entry only system is used for determining beneficial ownership of the Series 2007 Bonds, notice of redemption will only be sent to Cede & Co. Cede & Co. will be responsible for notifying the DTC Participants, who will in turn be responsible for notifying the Beneficial Owners. Any failure of Cede & Co. to notify any DTC Participant, or of any DTC Participant to notify the Beneficial Owner of any such notice, will not affect the validity of the redemption of the Series 2007 Bonds. See "DESCRIPTION OF THE SERIES 2007 BONDS -Book-Entry Only System" for a description of DTC Participants and Beneficial Owners. In the event of the discontinuance of the book-entry only system, notice of redemption will be given by the Registrar (who shall be the Paying Agent for the Series 2007 Bonds, or such other person, firm or corporation as may from time to time be designated by the City as Registrar for the Series 2007 Bonds) by mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first-class mail (postage prepaid) not more than thirty (30) days and not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Registered Owner of each Series 2007 Bond to be redeemed in whole or in part at the address shown on the registration books. Failure to give such notice by mailing to any Registered Owner of Bonds, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of any proceeding for the redemption of other Bonds. All Series 2007 Bonds or portions thereof so called for redemption will cease to bear interest after the specified redemption date provided funds for their redemption are on deposit at the place of payment at that time. 11 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 14 of 53 Upon surrender of any Series 2007 Bond for redemption in part only, the City shall issue and deliver to the Registered Owner thereof, the costs of which shall be paid by the Registered Owner, a new Series 2007 Bond or Series 2007 Bonds of authorized denominations in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion surrendered. SOURCE OF PAYMENT AND SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2007 BONDS General The principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2007 Bonds are payable from the Net Revenues equally and ratably with each other and the Parity Bonds. The Series 2007 Bonds and the Parity Bonds are secured by a first and prior lien on the Net Revenues derived from the operation of the System deposited in the Sinking Fund created and established under the Bond Ordinance and from monies and investments deposited in certain funds and accounts established by the Bond Ordinance and earnings thereon. The Series 2007 Bonds shall not constitute an indebtedness, liability, general or moral obligation, or a pledge of the faith, credit or taxing power of the City, the State, or any political subdivision thereof, within the meaning of any constitutional, statutory or charter provisions. Neither the State of Florida, nor any political subdivision thereof, nor the City shall be obligated (1) to levy ad valorem taxes on any property to pay the principal of the Series 2007 Bonds, the interest thereon, or other costs incidental thereto or (2) to pay the same from any other funds of the City except from the Net Revenues, in the manner provided in the Bond Ordinance. The Series 2007 Bonds shall not constitute a lien upon the System, or any part thereof, or on any other property of the City, but shall constitute a first and prior lien only on the Net Revenues in the manner provided in the Bond Ordinance. "Net Revenues" is defined in the Bond Ordinance to mean Gross Revenues less the Cost of Operation and Maintenance. "Gross Revenues" means all monies received from rates, fees, rentals or other charges or income derived from the investment of funds, unless otherwise provided in the Bond Ordinance, by the City or accruing to it in the operation of the System, all calculated in accordance with sound accounting practice. "Cost of Operation and Maintenance" of the System means all current expenses, paid or accrued, for the operation, maintenance and repair of all facilities of the System, as calculated in accordance with sound accounting practice and includes, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, insurance premiums, administrative expenses of the City related solely to the 12 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 15 of 53 System, labor, cost of materials and supplies used for current operation and charges for the accumulation of appropriate reserves for current expenses not annually recurrent but which are such as may reasonably be expected to be incurred in accordance with sound accounting practice, but excluding any reserve for renewals or replacements, for extraordinary repairs or any allowance for depreciation. The Bonds are further secured by a prior lien on and pledge of the monies and investments deposited in the Funds and Accounts established by the Bond Ordinance except for monies and investments deposited in the Operation and Maintenance Fund and the Rebate Fund. Debt Service Reserve Account The Bond Ordinance requires the establishment of a Reserve Account for the Series 2007 Bonds in an amount equal to the Reserve Account Requirement for the Series 2007 Bonds. The Bond Ordinance authorizes the City to obtain the Surety Bond in place of fully funding the Reserve Account. Accordingly, application has been made to AMBAC Assurance Corporation for the issuance of a Surety Bond for the purpose of funding the Reserve Account for the Series 2007 Bonds. The Series 2007 Bonds will only be delivered upon the issuance of the Surety Bond. The premium on the Surety Bond is to be fully paid at or prior to the issuance and delivery of the Series 2007 Bonds. Pursuant to the terms of the Surety Bond, Surety Bond Coverage is automatically reduced to the extent of each payment made by AMBAC Assurance Corporation under the terms of the Surety Bond and the City is required to reimburse AMBAC Assurance Corporation for any draws under the Surety Bond with interest at a market rate. Upon such reimbursement, the respective Surety Bond is reinstated to the extent of each principal reimbursement up to but not exceeding the Surety Bond Coverage. The reimbursement obligation of the City is subordinate to the Issuer's obligations with respect to the Series 2007 Bonds. In the event the amount on deposit in the Sinking Fund, plus all amounts on deposit in and credited to the Reserve Account for the benefit of the Series 2007 Bonds, therein, in addition to the amount available under the Surety Bond, includes amounts available under a letter of credit, insurance policy, surety bond or other such funding instrument (the "Additional Funding Instrument"), draws on the Surety Bond and the Additional Funding Instrument shall be made on a pro rata basis to fund the insufficiency for the Series 2007 Bonds. The Bond Ordinance provides that the Reserve Account for the Series 2007 Bonds shall be replenished in the following priority: (i) principal and interest on the Surety Bond and on the Additional Funding Instruments shall be paid from first available Revenues on a pro rata basis; (ii) after all such amounts are paid in full, amounts necessary to fund the Reserve Account for the benefit of the Series 2007 Bonds to the required level, after taking into account the amounts available under the Surety Bond and the Additional Funding Instruments, if any, shall be deposited from next available Revenues. 13 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 16 of 53 The Surety Bond does not insure against nonpayment caused by the insolvency or negligence of the Paying Agent. Notwithstanding any provision of the Bond Ordinance to the contrary, moneys in the Reserve Account for the Series 2007 Bonds may be used only for the purpose of the payment of maturing principal of or interest or making Amortization Installments on the Series 2007 Bonds when the other moneys in the Sinking Fund are insufficient therefor, and for no other purpose including the payment of any other series of Bonds. FLOW OF FUNDS Establishment of Funds and Accounts The following Funds and Accounts have been established pursuant to the Bond Ordinance: Revenue Fund Operation and Maintenance Fund Construction Fund Sinking Fund Interest Account Principal Account Reserve Account Bond Amortization Account Renewal and Replacement Fund A separate subaccount is required to be maintained in the Reserve Account for the Series 2007 Bonds. Priority of Flow of Funds The entire Gross Revenues, except the income from investments (hereinafter discussed), derived from the operation of the System must be deposited in the Revenue Fund. The Revenue Fund constitutes a trust fund for the purpose provided in the Bond Ordinance, and must be kept separate and distinct from all other funds of the City and used only for the purposes and in the manner provided in the Bond Ordinance. All revenues at any time remaining on deposit in the Revenue Fund must be disposed of on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each month only in the following manner and in the following order or priority: 14 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 17 of 53 1. Revenues must first be used to deposit in the Operation and Maintenance Fund, such sums as are necessary for the Cost of Operation and Maintenance for the next ensuing month. 2. Revenues must next be used for deposit into the Interest Account, such sums as will be sufficient to pay one-sixth (1/6) of all interest becoming due on the Series 2007 Bonds and the Parity Bonds on the next semi-annual interest payment date. 3. Revenues must next be used for deposit into the Principal Account, in any bond year in which a Serial Bond matures, such sums as will be sufficient to pay one- twelfth (1/12) ofthe principal maturing on Serial Bonds in such year. 4. Revenues must next be used for deposit into the Bond Amortization Account in any bond year in which an Amortization Installment is due, such sums as will be sufficient to pay one-twelfth (1/12) of the Amortization Installment required to be made in such year. Such payment will be credited to a separate special account for each series of Term Bonds outstanding, and if there is more than one stated maturity for Term Bonds of a series, then into a separate special account in the Bond Amortization Account for each such separate maturity of Term Bonds. The funds and investments in each such separate account are pledged solely to the payment of principal of the Term Bonds of the series or maturity within a series for which it is established and will not be available for payment, purchase or redemption of Term Bonds of any other series or within a series, or for transfer to any other account in the Sinking Fund to make up any deficiencies in required payments therein. Moneys on deposit in each of the separate special accounts in the Bond Amortization Account are required to be used for the open market purchase or the redemption of Term bonds, pursuant to the Bond Ordinance, of the series or maturity of Term Bonds within a series for which such separate special account is established or may remain in said separate special account and be invested until the stated date of maturity of the Term Bonds. The required deposits to the Principal Account, Interest Account and Bond Amortization Account are required to be adjusted in order to take into account the amount of money currently on deposit therein. 5. Revenues must next be applied by the City to maintain in each subaccount in the Reserve Account a sum equal to the Reserve Requirement, if any, for any subsequent year on each series of Bonds, which sum will initially be deposited therein from the proceeds of the sale of the Series 2007 Bonds and other funds of the City. To the extent the City determines pursuant to a subsequent resolution to fund a subaccount within the Reserve Account for a respective series of Bonds, the City may provide that the difference between the amounts on deposit in such subaccount and the Reserve Requirement for such series of Bonds shall be an amount covered by obtaining bond insurance issued by a 15 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 18 of 53 reputable and recognized municipal bond insurer, by a surety bond, by a letter of credit or any combination thereof or by such other form of credit enhancement as shall be approved by a resolution of the City adopted prior to the issuance of the series of Bonds for which such subaccount is established. Such resolution may also provide for the substitution of such credit enhancement. Bond insurance, a surety bond, a letter of credit or any combination thereof or such other form of credit enhancement may in the future be deposited in the subaccount in the Reserve Account for any Series of Bonds as may be approved by subsequent resolution of the City, provided that the provider of such credit enhancement is then rated in one of the two highest rating categories (without regard to gradation) by Fitch Ratings and Moody's Investors Service, Inc. Any withdrawals from the Reserve Account are required to be subsequently restored from the first moneys available in the Revenue Fund on a pro rata basis as to all sub accounts in the Reserve Account after all required current payments for the Operation and Maintenance Fund and Sinking Fund (including all deficiencies in prior payments to those Funds) have been made in full. Notwithstanding any provision of the Bond Ordinance to the contrary, moneys in each subaccount in the Reserve Account may be used only for the purpose of the payment of maturing principal of or interest or making Amortization Installments on the Bonds for which such subaccount was established when the other moneys in the Sinking Fund are insufficient therefor, and for no other purpose including the payment of any other series of Bonds. In the event of the refunding of any series of Bonds, the City may withdraw from the subaccount within the Reserve Account for such series of Bonds, all or any portion of the amounts accumulated therein with respect to the Bonds being refunded and deposit such amounts as required by the resolution authorizing the refunding of such series of Bonds. 6. The City must next deposit into the Renewal and Replacement Fund an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of an amount equal to 5% of prior year's Gross Revenues; provided, however, that so long as there shall be on deposit in such Renewal and Replacement Fund a balance of at least $300,000, no additional deposits in such Fund are required. The moneys in the Renewal and Replacement Fund may be used only for the purpose of paying the cost of extensions, enlargements or additions to, or the replacement of capital assets of the System and emergency repairs thereto. Such moneys on deposit in such Fund are also required to be used to supplement the Reserve Account if necessary, in order to prevent a default in the payment of the principal or Amortization Installments of and interest on the Bonds. 7. The balance of any moneys remaining in the Revenue Fund after the above required payments have been made may be used by the City for any lawful purpose. 16 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 19 of 53 8. The Operation and Maintenance Fund, the Sinking Fund, the Renewal and Replacement Fund, the Revenue Fund, and all accounts therein and any other special funds established and created under the Bond Ordinance constitute trust funds for the purposes provided in the Bond Ordinance for such funds. All such funds shall be continuously secured in the same manner as City deposits are authorized to be secured by the laws of the State of Florida. COVENANTS Rate Covenant In and by the Ordinance, the City has covenanted that it will fix, establish, revise from time to time whenever necessary, maintain and collect always, such fees, rates, rentals and other charges for the use of the product, services and facilities of the System which will always provide Revenues in each year sufficient to pay, and out of such funds pay, 100% of the Cost of Operation and Maintenance of the System in such year and all reserve and other payments provided for in the Bond Ordinance and 125% of the Bond Service Requirement due in such year on all outstanding Bonds. The City has covenanted that such rates, fees, rentals, or other charges shall not be reduced so as to be insufficient to provide Revenues for such purposes. Additional Parity Obligations Additional Parity Obligations, payable on a parity from Net Revenues of the System with the Series 2007 Bonds and the Parity Bonds, may be issued after the issuance of the Series 2007 Bonds, for construction and acquisition of additions, extensions and improvements to the System or for refunding purposes and upon the following conditions: 1. The Net Revenues derived or which would have been derived, if adjusted as set forth below, from the System, either during the immediately preceding Fiscal Year, during any twelve (12) consecutive calendar months of the eighteen (18) calendar months immediately preceding the sale of the proposed Additional Parity Obligations or during the last twelve (12) month period for which the City has audited financial statements for the System, at the option of the City, shall have been not less than 125% of the Maximum Bond Service Requirement which will become due in any calendar year thereafter on (a) the Series 2007 Bonds then Outstanding, (b) any Additional Parity Obligations issued and then Outstanding (including the Parity Bonds), and (c) the Additional Parity Obligations then proposed to be issued. In determining the amount of Net Revenues for the purposes of paragraph (1) above, the Consulting Engineers may adjust the Net Revenues by adding thereto the following: 17 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 20 of 53 a. The Net Revenues (computed for such utility on the same basis as net revenues are computed for the System) of any gas utility which the City shall have acquired prior to the issuance of such Additional Parity Obligations or which the City shall be acquiring from proceeds of such Additional Parity Obligations; and b. In the event a change has been made in the rate schedules for services from the System prior to the issuance of the proposed Additional Parity Obligations for a part of such 12 month period referred to in (1) above, and such change has resulted in an increase in Net Revenues, such amount of additional Net Revenues which the consulting Engineers estimated would have been received by the City during such 12 month period if such change in such rate schedule had been in effect during the entire 12 month period; and in the event a change has been made in the rate schedules for services from the System prior to the issuance of the proposed Additional Parity Obligations for a part of such 12 month period referred to in (1) above, and such change has resulted in a decrease in Net Revenues, by subtracting therefrom such amount of the Net Revenues which the Consulting Engineers estimate would not have been received by the City during such 12 month period referred to in (1) above, if such change in such rate schedule had been in effect during the entire 12 month period. 2. Each resolution or ordinance authorizing the issuance of Additional Parity Obligations will recite that all of the covenants contained in the Bond Ordinance will be applicable to such Additional Parity Obligations. 3. The City shall not be in default in performing any of the covenants and obligations of the Bond Ordinance, if all payments required to have been made into the accounts and funds, as provided in the Bond Ordinance, shall have been made to the full extent required. Operation and Maintenance The City covenants it will maintain the System and all parts thereof in good condition and will operate the same in an efficient and economical manner making such expenditures for equipment and for renewals, repairs and replacements as may be proper for the economical operation and maintenance thereof. 18 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 21 of 53 Operating Budget The City covenants to annually prepare and adopt prior to the beginning of each of its Fiscal Years, a detailed budget or budgets of the estimated expenditures for the operation and maintenance ofthe System during such next succeeding Fiscal Year. Annual Audit At least once a year, within six months after the close of its Fiscal Year, the City covenants to cause the books, records and accounts relating to the System to be properly audited by a recognized independent firm of certified public accountants. No Mortgage or Sale of the System The City has covenanted not to sell, lease, mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber the System, or any substantial part thereof, or any revenues to be derived therefrom, except as described below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City has reserved the right to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the property comprising a part of the System which the City hereafter determines, in the manner provided in the Bond Ordinance, to be no longer necessary, useful or profitable in the operation of the System. Prior to any such sale, lease or other disposition of said property, if the amount to be received therefor is not in excess of $50,000, the City Manager of the City or other duly authorized officer in charge thereof is required to make a finding in writing determining that such property comprising a part of the System is no longer necessary, useful or profitable in the operation thereof. If the amount to be received from such sale, lease or other disposition of said property is in excess of $50,000 but not in excess of $100,000 such City Manager or other officer is required to first make a finding in writing determining that such property comprising a part of the System is no longer necessary, useful or profitable in the operation thereof, and the governing body of the City must, by resolution or ordinance duly adopted, approve and concur in the finding of such City Manager or other officer, and authorize such sale, lease or other disposition of said property. If the amount to be received from such sale, lease or other disposition of said property is in excess of $100,000 but not in excess of 10% of the value of fixed assets of the System according to the most recent annual audit report, such City Manager or other officer must first make a finding in writing determining that such property comprising a part of the System is no longer necessary, useful or profitable in the operation thereof, and the Consulting Engineer must make a finding that it is in the best interest of the System that such property be disposed of, and the governing body of the City must by resolution or ordinance, duly adopted, approve and concur in the findings of such City Manager or other 19 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 22 of 53 officer and of the Consulting Engineer, and authorize such sale, lease or other disposition of said property. Anything in this section to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing restricts the governing body of the City or, to the extent such authority has been vested in the City Manager by such governing body, the City Manager in exercising discretion, from authorizing the sale or other disposition of any of the property comprising a part of the System, if the Consulting Engineer certifies that the Net Revenues of the System will not be materially adversely affected by reason of such sale or disposition. Such proceeds must be placed in the Renewal and Replacement Fund or used for the retirement of outstanding Bonds, in such proportions to be determined by the governing body of the City upon the recommendations of the City Manager. The payment of such proceeds into the Renewal and Replacement Fund does not reduce the amounts required to be paid into such Fund by other provisions of the Bond Ordinance. Anything in this section to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing prohibits the City from transferring ownership of the System to another governmental entity in accordance with the Bond Ordinance without complying with the provisions described in this section. No Free Service The City has covenanted in the Bond Ordinance that it will not render or cause to be rendered any free services of any nature by the System, nor will any preferential rates be established for users of the same class. Whenever the City, including its departments, agencies and instrumentalities, avails itself of the product, facilities or services provided by the System, or any part thereof, the same rates, fees or charges applicable to other customers receiving like services under similar circumstances must be charged to the City and any such department, agency or instrumentality. Such charges must be paid as they accrue, and the City shall transfer from its general funds to the Revenue Fund sufficient sums to pay such charges. The revenues so received will be deemed to be Revenues derived from the operation of the System, and will be deposited and accounted for in the same manner as other Revenues derived from such operation of the System. Consistent with the foregoing, to the extent that certain marketing and sales programs may involve incentives to customers (other than free energy service), expenses of such incentives are paid by charges against appropriate marketing and sales expenses of the System. Enforcement of Collections The City has covenanted to enforce and collect the rates, fees and other charges for the services and facilities of the System pledged under the Bond Ordinance; to take all 20 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 23 of 53 steps, actions and proceedings for the enforcement and collection of such rates, charges and fees as shall become delinquent to the full extent permitted or authorized by law; and to maintain accurate records with respect thereof. All such fees, rates, charges and revenues pledged pursuant to the Bond Ordinance will, as collected, be held in trust to be applied as provided in the Bond Ordinance. The City will, under reasonable rules and regulations, to the full extent permitted by law, shut off the connection of any users of the System for non-payment of fees, rentals and other charges for the services of the System and will not furnish him or permit him to receive from the System further service until all obligations owed by him to the City on account of services have been paid in full. No Competing System To the full extent permitted by law, the City has covenanted not to hereafter grant, or cause, consent to, or allow the granting of, any franchise or permit to any person, firm, corporation or body, or agency or instrumentality whatsoever, for the furnishing of competing gas services to or within the boundaries of the service area of the City; provided, however, that if the Gas System Manager renders an opinion that it would not be feasible for the City to provide such services to any specific area within the three years succeeding a request to provide such service, the City may authorize or allow the granting of such franchise or permit for such area upon such terms and conditions as it may approve. Unlawful Connection Prohibited The City has enacted an ordinance making it unlawful for any person or persons to tamper with, change or make any connection with the System without the written consent of the City, or to make any reconnection with the System when service has been discontinued for delinquent charges, until such delinquent charges have been paid in full, including interest, reasonable penalties and reconnection charges. The City will diligently, to the full extent permitted by law, enforce this covenant and prosecute any person violating the provisions ofthis covenant or any penal ordinance relating to the same. Amendment of the Bond Ordinance In the Bond Ordinance, the City has reserved the right to amend or supplement the Bond Ordinance for certain purposes without the consent of Bondholders if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of Bondholders. Otherwise, no material modification or amendment of the Bond Ordinance may be made without the consent in writing of the Holders of fifty-one percent or more of the principal amount of the Bonds of each Series so affected and then outstanding. For purposes of the foregoing, to the extent that Bonds of any Series are secured by a Credit Facility and such Bonds are then rated in one of the two highest rating categories (without regard to gradation) by either Fitch 21 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 24 of 53 Ratings or Moody's Investors Service, Inc., or successors and assigns, then the consent of the Credit Facility issuer will be deemed to constitute the consent of the Bondholders of such Series and in such case no consent of the Bondholders of such Series is required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no modification or amendment of the Bond Ordinance may permit a change in the maturity of such Bonds or a reduction in the rate of interest thereon or in the amount of the principal obligation thereof or affecting the promise of the City to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same become due from the Net Revenues of the System or reduce the percentage of the Bondholders required to consent to any material modification or amendment of the Bond Ordinance without the consent of the Bondholders of all such obligations. THE SYSTEM Physical Description The Clearwater Gas System (the "System") began operations in the mid-1920's with the production, distribution and sale of manufactured gas. The System was converted to natural gas in 1959 when Florida Gas Transmission (FGT) extended pipelines into Florida. The System also provides propane (LP) service in areas where natural gas mains have not yet been extended. The System currently serves 19,035 customers in a 330 square mile service territory through 786 miles of underground gas mains and has 90,000 gallons of propane (LP) storage. The following table sets forth the service areas of the System and the respective terms of the franchise agreements. Utility taxes and franchise fees are collected by the respective municipality in addition to the rates, fees and charges imposed by the System.

Gas Supply The City has two firm transportation service agreements (FTS-l & FTS-2) with Florida Gas Transmission (FGT) in order to deliver natural gas to the Cities four gate stations. Both these agreements provide Clearwater with a maximum daily quantity of 12,000 Dekatherms (Dth) of natural gas during the months of November to March; 9,000 Dth's during the month of April; 6,000 Dth's during the months of May to September; and 6,846 Dth's during the month of October. The total annual entitlement is 3,212,226 Dth's of natural gas transportation. At the present time FGT is equally owned by Cross Country Energy Corp, a newly formed holding company that holds Enron Corp interests, and Southern Natural, an EI Paso Corporation Affiliate. The City purchases its gas supply through Florida Gas Utility (FGU). FGU was formed through an Interlocal Agreement among its members. The Interlocal Agreement became effective on September 1, 1989 and consisted of five municipal utilities. Over the next several years, additional electric and gas distribution utilities joined FGU, bringing its total membership in 2005 to 23. The City joined FGU in October 2000 by Resolution 00-35. An updated All Requirements Gas Service Agreement, which was approved by Resolution 02-02 in January 2002, required the City to purchase 100% of its supply through FGU. In December 2004, Clearwater approved Resolution 04-34, which authorized the execution of Public Gas Partners (PGP) Gas Supply Agreement between Clearwater and FGU. Public Gas Partners, Inc. (PGP) , a Georgia non-profit corporation, is the parent company that consists of eight (8) municipal agencies located generally in the southeast region of the United States. FGU became a member of PGP in November 2004. The objective of PGP is to acquire and have a working interest in gas wells selected throughout the United States. Clearwater will purchase long-term natural gas supplies from FGU under the provisions of 26 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 29 of 53 the PGP agreement, which are projected to be at a discounted price relative to the daily gas market and allow for better control of gas supply costs. On June 15, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution 06-38 approving "Gas Supply Agreement No.2" (the "Supply Agreement") with FGU, which consists of pre-purchasing a 20-year supply of natural gas at a discounted price relative to the daily gas market. FGU executed a 20-year Prepaid Gas Purchase agreement with UBS AG effective September 1, 2006. FGU issued four separate sub-series revenue bonds totaling $694,175,000 for prepayment of the gas supply, comprised of $277,670,000 Florida Gas Utility-Series 2006A- 1 Bonds, $138,835,000 Florida Gas Utility-Series 2006A-2 Bonds, $138,835,000 Florida Gas Utility-Series 2006A-3 Bonds, and$138,835,000 Florida Gas Utility-Series 2006A-4 Bonds. The Supply Agreement is a purchasing mechanism to better control the supply and cost of gas in a rising energy market. The City will save 57 cents per million Btu (MMBtu) lower than the daily market, which translates to approximately $10.6 million in savings over the life of the contract. These savings will be passed on to customers through the Purchased Gas Adjustment (PGA) rate on our customer's monthly bill. Since the Supply Agreement is a "take AND pay" contract, the City is only required to pay for such gas supply delivered to the receipt point(s). Clearwater's participation share is at 12.135%., which represents approximately thirty percent (30%) of the City's customer supply requirements, which includes a four percent (4%) annual growth factor over the 20 year period. Rates, Fees and Charges The City Council has established a schedule of rates and charges by ordinance, which includes a purchased gas cost adjustment provision allowing the City to pass-through to customers any increase or decrease in the purchased price of gas. The City is not subject to regulation by any State agency in establishing or revising its rates. Where competitive fuel sources or transportation service are available to the customer, the City Council has authorized the City Manager to enter into contract gas service rates at special rates and/or conditions as required to obtain/retain the customer load. Such contract service must meet the normal construction feasibility formula to insure profitable payback to the City. As of September 30, 2004, not including interruptible accounts, contract rates applied to 760 customer accounts and impacted less than 32.69% of total revenues. The rates currently charged by the System have been effective since May 1, 2002. On March 21, 2005, the City Council enacted Ordinance number 7368-05, which imposed the rates set forth in APPENDIX G hereto, which became applicable to all gas bill and services after April 1, 2005. 27 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 30 of 53 Service Area The System is owned and operated as an enterprise utility by the City of Clearwater. The System operates over 786 miles of underground gas main and handles the supply and distribution of both natural and propane (LP) gas throughout northern Pinellas County and western Pasco County. As a "full service" gas utility, the System provides gas appliance sales, service and repair (both commercial and residential), installation of customer gas piping, construction and maintenance of underground gas mains and service lines, and 24- hour response to any gas emergency call within the service area. The System is regulated for safety by the Florida Public Service Commission and the Federal Department of Transporta tion. The System has been serving customers in the Clearwater area for over 84 years (since 1923) when operations were begun with a manufactured gas plant operation from coal and coke. In 1959, when natural gas transmission lines were finally extended to the Florida peninsula, the System discontinued manufacturing gas and began receiving piped natural gas from Florida Gas Transmission. The System serves over 19,035 customers in a 330 square mile service territory, which includes 17 municipalities as well as the unincorporated areas of northern Pinellas County and western Pasco County. The Pinellas County service territory is 181 square miles and extends generally from Ulmerton and Walsingham Roads on the South to the Pasco County line on the North and from the Gulf of Mexico on the West to the Hillsborough County line on the East. This includes all of the Pinellas beach communities south to Redington Beach. The Pasco County service territory is 117 square miles and extends from the Gulf of Mexico on the West inland about 10 miles to just West of State Road 41 and Land O'Lakes (generally along the right-of-way of the Suncoast Parkway) and from the Pinellas and Hillsborough County lines on the South to generally State Road 52 on the North. The CGS service territory extends 42.3 miles from the southwestern most to the northwestern most points. Residential customers make up over 88.30% of the System's customer base. As of September 30,2006, the System's active natural gas customers were located as shown in the following table: 28 Item # 1 Location Belleair Belleair Beach Belleair Bluffs Belleair Shores Clearwater Dunedin Indian Rocks Beach Indian Shores Largo New Port Richey North Redington Beach Oldsmar Port Richey Redington Beach Redington Shores Safety Harbor Tarpon Springs Unincorporated Areas Pasco Unincorporated Areas Central Pasco Total Attachment number 2 Page 31 of 53 Meters Percentage 380 122 21 18 6,658 1,027 75 55 990 333 11 67 15 21 9 587 1,377 2,309 2,730 103 16,452 2.25% 0.72% 0.12% 0.11% 39.38% 6.07% 0.44% 0.33% 5.86% 1.97% 0.07% 0.40% 0.09% 0.12% 0.05% 3.47% 8.14% 13.66% 16.15% .61% 100.00% The following table shows the five largest interruptible customers by peak monthly consumption and the percent of the System's revenues derived from such customers during the 12 months ending September 30, 2006 29 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 32 of 53 Peak % of Monthly Gross Customer Name Therms Revenues Angelica Textile Service 88,788 2.04% Metal Industries 76,432 1.59% Morton Plant Hospital 100,366 3.14% Mease Hospital 91,412 2.89% Firmenich Citrus Center 24,788 1.10% The following table shows the breakdown of the System's customers by category as well as the volume of gas sold and the sales revenues generated by each category for the fiscal year ending September 30,2004: Average No. Customers Gas Volume Gas Sales Interruptible 13 23.90% 14.32% Residential 14,767 15.11% 22.66% Commercial 2,128 60.99% 63.02% Environmental Remediation Costs In December 1993, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection ("FDEP") informed the City that it intended to pursue an investigation of the City of Clearwater Manufactured Gas Plant (the "Former Plant") site which was located from the 1920's through about 1960 at the current site of the System's Administrative Offices and Pinellas Operations Center. The main components of the Former Plant were removed between 1960 and 1985 and the site is currently paved. An initial investigation by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency in the late 1980's determined that no serious health hazards existed at this site but referred it to the FDEP for future monitoring. 30 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 33 of 53 Environmental Consulting & Technology, Inc. (ECT) of Tampa, Florida, has been retained as the System's environmental consultant. During 1995 ECT, with the assistance of the System's crews, drilled holes and excavated a small segment of the Former Plant site in order to prepare the Contamination Assessment Plan (CAP). ECT submitted a revised CAP to FDEP on November 2, 1995 and was approved. After installing all the necessary monitoring wells and collecting soil samples, ECT submitted the Contamination Assessment Report (CAR) in December 1999 to FDEP. After reviewing the CAR, FDEP requested additional monitoring wells be installed to better determine the contamination boundary in certain areas of the property. Additional wells were installed and analyzed in early 2001. FDEP reviewed the results and once again required additional well installations for additional groundwater and soil data. Additional wells were installed in June 2002 and in early 2003. As of July 2003, FDEP has not approved the revised CAR. Therefore additional fieldwork will continue into the foreseeable future. The cost of the investigation and possible remediation of the site is funded through an Environmental Imposition Adjustment (EIA) applicable to all firm standard natural gas therm rates and standard propane (LP) gallon rates. The EIA permits the System to recover the cost of environmental costs imposed on the System by federal, state and local regulatory agencies. As of September 30, 2006, the City has spent $674,234.26 on the MGP assessment, which includes both environmental consultant and outside attorney fees. Approximately $487,500 has been recovered from City insurance policies to be applied to any required remediation. FINANCIAL GUARANTY INSURANCE Payment Pursuant to Financial Guaranty Insurance Policy Ambac Assurance Corporation ("Ambac Assurance") has made a commitment to issue a financial guaranty insurance policy (the "Financial Guaranty Insurance Policy") relating to the Series 2007 Bonds, effective as of the date of issuance of the Series 2007 Bonds. Under the terms of the Financial Guaranty Insurance Policy, Ambac Assurance will pay to The Bank of New York, in New York, New York, or any successor thereto (the "Insurance Trustee"), that portion of the principal of and interest on the Series 2007 Bonds that shall become Due for Payment but shall be unpaid by reason of Nonpayment by the Obligor (as such terms are defined in the Financial Guaranty Insurance Policy). Ambac Assurance will make such payments to the Insurance Trustee on the later of the date on which such principal and/or interest becomes Due for Payment or within one business day following the date on which Ambac Assurance shall have received notice of Nonpayment from the Trustee. The insurance will extend for the term of the Series 2007 Bonds and, once issued, cannot be canceled by Ambac Assurance. The Financial Guaranty Insurance Policy will insure payment only on stated maturity dates and on mandatory sinking fund installment dates, in the case of principal, and on stated 31 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 34 of 53 dates for payment, in the case of interest. If the Series 2007 Bonds become subject to mandatory redemption and insufficient funds are available for redemption of all outstanding Series 2007 Bonds, Ambac Assurance will remain obligated to pay the principal of and interest on outstanding Series 2007 Bonds on the originally scheduled interest and principal payment dates, including mandatory sinking fund redemption dates. In the event of any acceleration of the principal of the Series 2007 Bonds, the insured payments will be made at such times and in such amounts as would have been made had there not been an acceleration, except to the extent that Ambac Assurance elects, in its sole discretion, to pay all or a portion of the accelerated principal and interest accrued thereon to the date of acceleration (to the extent unpaid by the Obligor). Upon payment of all such accelerated principal and interest accrued to the acceleration date, Ambac Assurance's obligations under the Financial Guaranty Insurance Policy shall be fully discharged. In the event the Trustee has notice that any payment of principal of or interest on a Series 2007 Bond that has become Due for Payment and that is made to a holder by or on behalf of the Obligor has been deemed a preferential transfer and theretofore recovered from its registered owner pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code in accordance with a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, such registered owner will be entitled to payment from Ambac Assurance to the extent of such recovery if sufficient funds are not otherwise available. The Financial Guaranty Insurance Policy does not insure any Nonpayment (as set forth in the Financial Guaranty Insurance Policy). Financial Guaranty Insurance Policy does not cover: risk other than Specifically, the 1. payment on acceleration, as a result of a call for redemption (other than mandatory sinking fund redemption) or as a result of any other advancement of maturity; 2. payment of any redemption, prepayment or acceleration premium; and 3. nonpayment of principal or interest caused by the insolvency or negligence of the Trustee, Paying Agent or Bond Registrar, if any. If it becomes necessary to call upon the Financial Guaranty Insurance Policy, payment of principal requires surrender of the Series 2007 Bonds to the Insurance Trustee together with an appropriate instrument of assignment so as to permit ownership of such Series 2007 Bonds to be registered in the name of Ambac Assurance to the extent of the payment under the Financial Guaranty Insurance Policy. Payment of interest pursuant to the Financial Guaranty Insurance Policy requires proof of holder entitlement to interest payments and an appropriate assignment of the holder's right to payment to Ambac Assurance. 32 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 35 of 53 Upon payment of the insurance benefits, Ambac Assurance will become the owner of a Series 2007 Bond, appurtenant coupon, if any, or right to payment of the principal of or interest on such 2007 Bond and will be fully subrogated to the surrendering holder's rights to payment. The insurance provided by the Financial Guaranty Insurance Policy is not covered by the Florida Insurance Guaranty Association. Ambac Assurance Corporation Ambac Assurance is a Wisconsin-domiciled stock insurance corporation regulated by the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance of the State of Wisconsin, and is licensed to do business in 50 states, the District of Columbia, the Territory of Guam, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, with admitted assets of approximately $10,015,000,000 (unaudited) and statutory capital of approximately $6,371,000,000 (unaudited) as of December 31, 2006. Statutory capital consists of Ambac Assurance's policyholders' surplus and statutory contingency reserve. Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Fitch Ratings have each assigned a triple-A financial strength rating to Ambac Assurance. Ambac Assurance has obtained a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the insuring of an obligation by Ambac Assurance will not affect the treatment for federal income tax purposes of interest on such obligation and that insurance proceeds representing maturing interest paid by Ambac Assurance under policy provisions substantially identical to those contained in the Financial Guaranty Insurance Policy shall be treated for federal income tax purposes in the same manner as if such payments were made by the Obligor.

RATINGS It is anticipated that Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Fitch Ratings will assign the Series 2007 Bonds ratings of "Aaa" and "AAA", respectively, with the understanding that an insurance policy insuring the payment when due of the principal of and interest on the Series 2007 Bonds will be issued by the Insurer. In addition, Moody's Investors Service, Inc. has assigned the Series 2007 Bonds a rating of "A2" without regard to the issuance of the insurance policy. Such ratings reflect the views of the rating agencies and an explanation of the significance of such ratings may be obtained only from the rating agencies furnishing the same. There is no assurance that such ratings may be continued 36 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 39 of 53 for any given period of time or that they will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by such rating agencies, if in its judgment, circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revisions or withdrawal of such ratings may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Series 2007 Bonds. For any additional description of ratings and their meanings, Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Fitch Ratings should be contacted. LEGALITY Certain legal matters in connection with the issuance of the Series 2007 Bonds are subject to the approval of Bryant Miller and Olive P.A., Tallahassee, Florida, Bond Counsel, whose Bond Counsel opinion will be available at the time of delivery of the Series 2007 Bonds. The proposed form of such opinion of Bond Counsel is attached to this Official Statement as APPENDIX E. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the City by Pamela K. Akin, Esquire, City Attorney and by its disclosure counsel, Nabors, Giblin & Nickerson, P.A., Tampa, Florida. TAX EXEMPTION Federal Income Tax Matters The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") establishes certain requirements which must be met subsequent to the issuance and delivery of the Series 2007 Bonds in order that interest on the Series 2007 Bonds be and remain excluded from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation. Non-compliance may cause interest on the Series 2007 Bonds to be included in federal gross income retroactive to the date of issuance of the Series 2007 Bonds regardless of the date on which such non-compliance occurs or is ascertained. These requirements include, but are not limited to, provisions which prescribe yield and other limits within which the proceeds of the Series 2007 Bonds and the other amounts are to be invested and require that certain investment earnings on the foregoing must be rebated on a periodic basis to the Treasury Department of the United States. The City has covenanted in the Resolution to comply with such requirements in order to maintain the exclusion from federal gross income of the interest on the Series 2007 Bonds. In the opinion of Bond Counsel, assuming compliance with the aforementioned covenants, under existing laws, regulations, judicial decisions and rulings, interest on the Series 2007 Bonds is excluded from gross income of the holders thereof for purposes of federal income taxation. Interest on the Series 2007 Bonds is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals or corporations; however, interest on the Series 2007 Bonds may be subject to the alternative minimum tax 37 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 40 of 53 when any Series 2007 Bond is held by a corporation. The alternative minimum taxable income of a corporation must be increased by 75% of the excess of such corporation's adjusted current earnings over its alternative minimum taxable income (before this adjustment and the alternative tax net operating loss deduction). "Adjusted Current Earnings" will include interest on the Series 2007 Bonds. Except as described above, Bond Counsel will express no OpInIOn regarding the federal income tax consequences resulting from the ownership of, receipt or accrual of interest on, or disposition of Series 2007 Bonds. Prospective purchasers of Series 2007 Bonds should be aware that the ownership of Series 2007 Bonds may result in collateral federal income tax consequences, including (i) the denial of a deduction for interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry Series 2007 Bonds, (ii) the reduction of the loss reserve deduction for property and casualty insurance companies by 15% of certain items, including interest on the Series 2007 Bonds, (iii) the inclusion of interest on the Series 2007 Bonds in earnings of certain foreign corporations doing business in the United States for purposes of a branch profits tax, (iv) the inclusion of interest on Series 2007 Bonds in passive income subject to federal income taxation of certain S corporations with Subchapter C earnings and profits at the close of the taxable year, and (v) the inclusion of interest on the Series 2007 Bonds in "modified adjusted gross income" by recipients of certain Social Security and Railroad Retirement benefits for purposes of determining whether such benefits are included in gross income for federal income tax purposes. PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP, SALE OR DISPOSITION OF THE SERIES 2007 BONDS AND THE RECEIPT OR ACCRUAL OF THE INTEREST THEREON MAY HAVE ADVERSE FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES FOR CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL AND CORPORATE REGISTERED OWNERS. PROSPECTIVE REGISTERED OWNERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX SPECIALISTS FOR INFORMATION IN THAT REGARD. During recent years legislative proposals have been introduced in Congress, and in some cases enacted that altered certain federal tax consequences resulting from the ownership of obligations that are similar to the Series 2007 Bonds. In some cases these proposals have contained provisions that altered these consequences on a retroactive basis. Such alteration of federal tax consequences may have affected the market value of obligations similar to the Series 2007 Bonds. From time to time, legislative proposals are pending which could have an effect on both the federal tax consequences resulting from ownership of Series 2007 Bonds and their market value. No assurance can be given that legislative proposals will not be introduced or enacted that would or might apply to, or have an adverse effect upon, the Series 2007 Bonds. 38 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 41 of 53 Tax Treatment of Original Issue Discount Under the Code, the difference between the maturity amount of the Series 2007 Bonds maturing in the years (the "Discount Bonds") and the initial offering price to the public, excluding bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters or wholesalers, at which price a substantial amount of Series 2007 Bonds of the same maturity was sold is "original issue discount." Original issue discount will accrue over the term of such Series 2007 Bonds at a constant interest rate compounded periodically. A purchaser who acquires such Series 2007 Bonds in the initial offering at a price equal to the initial offering price thereof to the public will be treated as receiving an amount of interest excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes equal to the original issue discount accruing during the period he holds such Series 2007 Bonds, and will increase his adjusted basis in such Series 2007 Bonds by the amount of such accruing discount for purposes of determining taxable gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of such Series 2007 Bonds. The federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and redemption, sale or other disposition of the Series 2007 Bonds which are not purchased in the initial offering at the initial offering price may be determined according to rules which differ from those above. Holders of such Series 2007 Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the precise determination for federal income tax purposes of interest accrued upon sale, redemption or other disposition of Series 2007 Bonds and with respect to the state and local tax consequences of owning and disposing of such Series 2007 Bonds. Tax Treatment of Bond Premium The difference between the principal amount of the Series 2007 Bonds maturing in the years (the "Premium Bonds") and the initial offering price to the public (excluding bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters or wholesalers) at which price a substantial amount of such Premium Bonds of the same maturity was sold constitutes to an initial purchaser amortizable bond premium which is not deductible from gross income for Federal income tax purposes. The amount of amortizable bond premium for a taxable year is determined actuarially on a constant interest rate basis over the term of each of the Premium Bonds which term ends on the earlier of the maturity or call date for each of the Premium Bonds which minimizes the yield on said Bonds to the purchaser. For purposes of determining gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of a Premium Bond, an initial purchaser who acquires such obligation in the initial offering to the public at the initial offering price is required to decrease such purchaser's adjusted basis in such Premium Bond annually by the amount of amortizable bond premium for the taxable year. The amortization of bond premium may be taken into account as a reduction in the amount of tax-exempt income for purposes of determining various other tax consequences of owning such Bonds. Owners of the Premium Bonds are advised that they should consult with their own advisors with respect to the state and local tax consequences of owning such Premium Bonds. 39 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 42 of 53 Florida Tax Matters On the date of delivery of the Series 2007 Bonds, Bond Counsel will issue an opinion to the effect that under existing statutes, regulations and judicial decisions, the Series 2007 Bonds are exempt from all present intangible personal property taxes imposed by Chapter 199, Florida Statutes, as amended. VERIFICATION OF MATHEMATICAL COMPUTATIONS The arithmetical accuracy of certain computations included in the schedules provided by RBC Capital Markets on behalf of the City relating to (a) computation of forecasted receipts of principal and interest on the Federal Securities and the forecasted payments of principal and interest to redeem the Refunded Bonds, and (b) computation of the yields on the Refunding Bonds and the Federal Securities was examined by Barthe & Wahrman, P.A., Minneapolis, Minnesota. Such computations were based solely upon assumptions and information supplied by RBC Capital Markets on behalf of the City. Barthe & Wahrman, P.A. has restricted its procedures to examining the arithmetical accuracy of certain computations and has not made any study or evaluation of the assumptions and information upon which the computations are based and, accordingly, has not expressed an opinion on the data used, the reasonableness of the assumptions, or the achievability of the forecasted outcome. INVESTMENT POLICY OF THE CITY Pursuant to the requirements of Section 218.45, Florida Statutes, the City adopted a written investment policy which applies to all funds held by or for the benefit of the City Council (except for proceeds of bond issues which are deposited in escrow and debt service funds and governed by their bond documents) and funds of Constitutional Officers and other component units of the City. The objectives of the investment policy, listed in order in order of importance, are: 1. Safety of principal 2. Provision of sufficient liquidity 3. Optimization of return within the constraints of safety and liquidity The investment policy limits the securities eligible for inclusion in the City's portfolio. The City will attempt to maintain a weighted average maturity of its investments at or below three years; however, the average maturity of investments may not exceed four years. 40 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 43 of 53 To enhance safety, the investment policy requires the diversification of the portfolio to reduce the risk of loss resulting from over-concentration of assets in a specific class of security. The investment policy also requires the preparation of periodic reports for the City Council of all outstanding securities by class or type, book value, income earned and market value as of the report date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, moneys held in the funds and accounts established under the Bond Ordinance may be invested only in Permitted Investments, as described in the Bond Ordinance. ENFORCEABILITY OF REMEDIES The remedies available to the owners of the Series 2007 Bonds under the Bond Ordinance (and the policy of municipal bond insurance referred to herein) are in many respects dependent upon judicial actions which are often subject to discretion and delay. Under existing constitutional and statutory law and judicial decisions, including specifically Title 11 of the United States Code, the remedies specified by the Federal Bankruptcy Code, the Bond Ordinance and any policy of municipal bond insurance referred to herein may not be readily available or may be limited. The various legal opinions to be delivered concurrently with the delivery of the Series 2007 Bonds (including Bond Counsel's approving opinion) will be qualified, as to the enforceability of the various legal instruments, by limitations imposed by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors or by such principles of equity as the court having jurisdiction may impose with respect to certain remedies which require or may require enforcement by a court of equity. LITIGATION There is no litigation or controversy of any nature now pending or threatened (i) to restrain or enjoin the issuance, sale, execution or delivery of the Series 2007 Bonds or (ii) in any way questioning or affecting the validity of the Series 2007 Bonds, the Bond Ordinance, any proceedings of the City taken with respect to the authorization, sale or issuance of the Series 2007 Bonds or the pledge or application of any moneys provided for the payment of the Series 2007 Bonds, including the Net Revenues of the System. The City is a party from time to time in various law suits involving the City generally, and believes that none of the actions currently pending will have a material effect upon the finances of the City or of the System. 41 Item # 1 Attachment number 2 Page 44 of 53 GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The excerpts from the General Purpose Financial Statements and other information of the City for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, are included in APPENDIX B to this Official Statement.

Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, Clearwater, Florida 33755. The purpose is to determine the best proposal that will satisfy the needs and interests of the citizens of Clearwater, specifically an area 2 miles in radius from the Complex, including the neighborhood known as the North Greenwood Community, regarding the programming, maintenance, and operation of the North Greenwood Recreation and Aquatics Complex. Special emphasis will be given to those organizations that have experience and a proven history of operating a municipal style "public" recreation center and meeting the developmental needs of youth, providing positive recreational and learning experiences for the children and adults of Clearwater and providing a sense of place in the Community for all residents. Intent of the applicant's programming should be to offer a wide variety of recreational and educational opportunities to the general population from children to adults similar to the existing programming now in place at the recreation complex and other City recreation complexes. The City will negotiate an agreement with the applicant whose proposal is most responsive to this RFP and is in the best interest of the City. The instructions contained herein must be followed to be considered responsive to this RFP. The City reserves the right to reject any or all responses. 1.2 SCOPE OF PROJECT The City of Clearwater constructed a new recreation center and aquatics complex in 2002 to replace the Holt Avenue Pool and Holt Avenue Youth Center. In addition, the City turned over the operations of the Martin Luther Community Center to the African American Leadership Council (AALC) consolidating staff and resources to operate the new complex on Martin Luther King Jr. Ave. The City has programmed this facility for the past 5 years and prior to that programmed the Holt Avenue facilities for over 50 years and the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for over 30 years. The complex currently offers a wide variety of recreational opportunities including indoor recreation, programmed classes and instruction, camps, and free time in the gym, pool and fitness room. See Attachment "A" for a sample of programming and activities currently being offered. Item # 2 Attachment number 1 Page 3 of 24 The site consists of approximately 6.0 acres MOL, and takes up an entire City block which is bounded by Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd on the East, Pennsylvania Avenue on the West, Palmetto Street on the north and Seminole Street on the south. The Center is located due west of the Jack Russell Stadium and the North Greenwood Branch Library. The building is a concrete block structure consisting of approximately 28,000 square feet with a 15,000 square foot aquatics area and a 1,600 square foot playground. Indoor space consists of two regulation sized gymnasiums, fully equipped fitness room, teen room, arts and crafts room, 3 meeting/program rooms, sound studio, concession area, office area and reception counter, restroom/locker/shower facilities, 3 secured outdoor patio program areas. The aquatics complex consists of 3 pools; a 5 lane 25 yard pool with ADA accessibility ramp and diving well; a 140 foot long 20 foot high slide pool area; and a zero depth water playground area with a connected training pool. Other amenities at the pool include several shaded areas with lounge chairs and tables, landscaping and showers. The playground is a modern up-to-date, colorful safe playground with proper fall zones and mulched landing surfaces. The playground includes play apparatus for children from 4 years old to 12 years old. Also, included on site is a 400 square foot storage building and 62 paved parking spaces and 54 grass parking spaces as well as a well landscaped areas around the perimeter of the building and parking lot as well as the pool area. The City of Clearwater currently operates this complex as part of its overall delivery service to the citizens of Clearwater. The current model for the department is to provide strategically located Community Centers and Complexes rather than smaller neighborhood centers to meet the needs of the community. The larger complexes have the ability to meet many community needs and produce revenue while neighborhood centers are not equipped to do so nor do they have the amenities that the Complex can provide. The 2005-2006 budget of the Complex including the Aquatics area, the Center and the Day Camp was $755,140 and generated approximately $160,800 in revenue utilizing 15.5 Full Time Equivalent employees.

(consent) SUMMARY: Due to lengthy legal review of 2006 law changes regarding student privacy issues and the collection of law enforcement evidence, specifically school security video, all law enforcement agencies providing SRO's in the county have been operating without a contract with PCSB for the 2006-2007 school year. Those issues were just resolved in April 2007, therefore this contract is retroactive to include the 2006-2007 school year. Under the terms of the three-year agreement between the School Board of Pinellas County and the City of Clearwater, the City will provide law enforcement and related services to Clearwater High School and Countryside High School during the regular school year. The assigned officers (2 per school) will provide instruction in law education, will serve as resource persons, conduct investigations, provide security and maintain the peace, make arrests and provide support services as necessary. The annual cost of salaries and benefits of 4 officers over the 3-year period will be approximately $237,560, $251,440 and $268,040, respectively, and will be provided from the Police Department's operating budget. Total annual reimbursement from the School Board over this same 3-year period will be $156,395.40, $162,651.20 and $169,157.28 respectively. The difference between the actual costs and amount reimbursed is offset by the benefit of the program to the community and the Police Department. The continuation of the School Resource Officer Program beyond the current fiscal year will depend on funding being included in future budgets. The Police Department has maintained a good working relationship with the School Board. School Resource Officers have been assigned to Clearwater High School since January 1, 1985 and Countryside High School since January 1, 1986.

WIT N E SSE T H: WHEREAS, the parties hereto value the collaboration and cooperation fostered by the SRO Program and believe that all of society benefits when the safety of children is improved, where the threat of crime and disorder is reduced, the learning environment is improved, and the true mission of teachers becomes more achievable; and WHEREAS, the SRO Program provides an opportunity for students and law enforcement officers to have positive interaction with one another which enhances law enforcement officers' service to the community, and WHEREAS, the BOARD and The City of Clearwater intend to provide law enforcement and related services to the public schools of Pinellas County as hereafter described, and WHEREAS, the BOARD and CLEARWATER P.O. will mutually benefit from the SRO Program.; NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: ARTICLE I. The Obligations of CLEARWATER P.O. and the SROs are as follows: A. Provision of School Resource Officers. The CLEARWATER P.O. shall assign two regularly employed officers each to Clearwater High School and Countryside High School. B. Desiqnation and Selection of School Resource Officers. SRO's have a dual role at the schools which they serve. They shall serve as "law enforcement units" within the meaning of 34 CFR S 99.8 (a)(1 )(i)-(iii), and as "school officials" having a legitimate educational interest in information contained in student records, within the meaning of 20 U.S.C. S1232g and F.S. S 1002.22 (3)(d)(2). The Chief of CLEARWATER P.O., or his designee, in consultation with the Principal of the school to which the SRO will be assigned shall select the SRO on the basis of the following criteria. Item # 4 Attachment number 1 Page 2 of 13 1. The SRO must have the ability to deal effectively with students. The ages, socioeconomic, and cultural composition of the students of the particular school should be considered in making this evaluation. 2. The SRO must have the ability to present a positive image and symbol of the entire police agency. A goal of the SRO Program is to foster a positive image of police officers among young people. Therefore, the personality, grooming, and communication skills of the SRO should be of such nature so that a positive image of the police agency is reflected. The SRO should sincerely want to work with the staff and students at the particular school to which he or she is assigned. 3. The SRO must have the ability to provide good quality educational services in the area of law enforcement. The education, background, experience, interest level and communication skills of the SRO must be of high caliber so that the SRO can effectively and accurately provide resource teaching services. The SRO will spend as much time as practical in classroom instruction, dependent upon time constraints and workload. The SRO and the Principal will formulate an acceptable plan consistent with the circumstances and the needs of the school. 4. The SRO must have the desire and ability to work cooperatively with the Principal and his administrative staff. 5. The SRO must be a state certified Law Enforcement Officer. C. Reqular Dutv Hours/Absences of the School Resource Officers. 1. The SRO will be assigned to his/her school on a full-time basis of eight (8) hours on those days and during those hours that school is in session. The SRO's specific duty hours shall be determined by the SRO supervisor in consultation with the principal, to reflect the needs of the individual school. In each case the agency shall ensure that SROs are present during regular school hours, and those routine duties that require an absence from campus should be accomplished either prior to or after regular school hours. The SRO may be temporarily reassigned only during the period of a law enforcement emergency as such may be determined to exist, by the Chief. 2. If it is necessary for the assigned SRO to be absent from school for less than a full day, the SRO will notify the Principal and provide instructions on how emergency police service may be obtained in his/her absence. If it is necessary for the assigned SRO to be absent from school for a full day or more, then the CLEARWATER P.O. shall supply a substitute SRO. For any day there is not an officer at school for a full day, a credit shall be given to the school system absent exigent circumstances. The credit shall amount to the daily rate of the BOARD's contribution. 3. The Board and CLEARWATER P.O. will cooperate to avoid the use of officers who must be paid at overtime rates to substitute for regular SROs, but recognize that at times the use of overtime will occur. If a substitute SRO must be 2 Item # 4 Attachment number 1 Page 3 of 13 utilized, the School Board shall reimburse the CLEARWATER P.O. for 50% of the replacement officer's rate of pay, including overtime if applicable, for up to 40 hours per SRO position during each year of this Agreement. The Board agrees that the CLEARWATER P.O. may pool the 40 hours for each of its 4 SRO positions and share the aggregated total of 40 hours between SRO positions when providing substitutes. The CLEARWATER P.O. agrees that it will absorb all the costs of providing substitutes beyond the 40 hours allotted for each officer. The parties agree that the Board's financial obligation for payment on account of substitute officers will not exceed the sum of $889.80 per officer (based on 40 hours multiplied by the average of the highest hourly rates of pay for an officer on the pay scale (excluding command positions) for the agencies that contract to provide SRO services to the district as of October 1, 2006). The parties further agree that the Board will pay the amount in 12 monthly payments, during each year of this contract, and the rate for each subsequent year of the term of this agreement shall be increased each year by an amount equal to 4%. D. Duties of School Resource Officers. While on duty, the SRO shall perform the following duties: 1. Speak to classes on the law, including search and seizure, criminal law, motor vehicle law, and other topics when assigned to speak by the Principal. 2. Act as a resource person in the area of law enforcement education at the request of the Principal. 3. Conduct crim inal investigations of violations of law on School Board property which is initiated by the SRO or reported by school personnel per interagency agreement. When dealing with reported minor incidents, nothing shall preclude the SRO from diverting the offender to appropriate school-based discipline, where appropriate and authorized by department policy and applicable law. 4. Provide school-based security and maintain the peace on School Board property, to include in assisting with the development, implementation and evaluation of security programs/crisis plans in their assigned school when requested. 5.

Coordinate with school administrators, faculty and staff, law enforcement agencies, and courts to provide school-based security to maintain the peace and promote order on the school campuses. 12. Create and maintain all records, including security and surveillance camera recordings made at the school site, whether recorded by video tape, digital or other medium, (but excluding school bus recordings), witness or suspect statements, interviews or other documents made in connection with the law enforcement duties set forth in this Agreement. Such records shall constitute "law enforcement records" within the meaning of 34 CFR S 99.8(b) (I)(i)-(iii), while in the hands of the SRO or other law enforcement officer. When such records are made available to school administration for disciplinary or other legitimate educational purposes they shall also constitute confidential student records subject to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, 20 U.S.C. S 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99, and S1002.22, F.S. The SRO shall comply with all laws and policies applicable to such records in both their law enforcement and student record capacities.

Changes in the terms of this Agreement may be accomplished only by formal amendment in writing approved by the CLEARWATER P.O. and the Board. ARTICLE VI. Transfer of SRO's. Both the School Board and CLEARWATER P.O. desire to avoid the transfer of an SRO at the request of a principal.

(consent) SUMMARY: On July 2, 2007, the Police Department will be submitting an application for federal grant funding in the amount of $103,408 for the following equipment: consoles for equipment in police cruisers; two digital voice recorders for use in vice and narcotics; and, eleven laser/radars for use by the traffic enforcement team. There is no cash match or additional personnel associated with this grant. USDOJ/BJA requires that all JAG grant applications be reviewed and approved by the City Council before USDOJ/BJA will consider approval of grant funding.

The supplies to be purchased include: Consoles for police cruisers; solid state digital voice recorder kits; and laser/radars for traffic enforcement. The following is a description of how these supplies will be utilized and why they are needed. Consoles for Police Cruisers Clearwater proposes spending $71,808 of its JAG allocation on new consoles for installation in its police cruisers. Clearwater is currently in the process of revising and replacing its in-car equipment that relates to CAD/RMS functions. The new system involves a ground-breaking partnership with the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office (PCSO) that will provide long-awaited interoperability between the two agencies. As a result of these revolutionary changes, patrol officers will need new consoles in their patrol cars that will accommodate the new equipment that is being installed. The new consoles will provide a strong and safe mounting solution for the patrol car's "mobile office," allowing for installation of a computer, keyboard, printer, etc. The design of the console is still low profile and compact enough to provide for the officer's comfort and safety. These new consoles will allow Clearwater patrol officers to utilize the new CAD/RMS equipment with greater ease and efficiency and allow the officer to provide better service to the residents whom they serve. In addition to the new CAD/RMS, Clearwater will also be installing new Ticket Printers in the patrol cars that will make the new consoles a necessity. This new technology will allow officers to swipe a violator's driver's license through a machine that reads the magnetic strip; the printer will then produce a pre-printed traffic ticket with all of the relevant information. The new Ticket Printers boast a number of capabilities that will provide a myriad of benefits to the patrol officer, the public and the court system, including: (1) completes tickets faster and more accurately; (2) eliminates data entry errors; (3) enables officers to quickly return to service; (4) works with current mobile technology; (5) reduces contact time with violators; and, (6) provides professional easy to read tickets. Without the new consoles, Clearwater's police cruisers would simply not be able to accommodate this cutting edge technology. Item # 5 Attachment number 1 Page 2 of 2 Solid State Digital Voice Recorder Kit Clearwater also proposes spending $5,700 of the JAG grant on two digital voice recorder kits. These devices represent the latest and best in undercover sound recording technology. Clearwater will purchase the kits for use in covert audio recording of criminal suspects in drug trafficking, human trafficking and other criminal investigations. These recording devices are much smaller and easier to conceal than recording devices used in the past and provide crystal clear recordings. These recording devices will be an immense enhancement to Clearwater's undercover criminal operations. Not only will they be used to record undercover drug transactions, but they will also prove useful for utilization by Clearwater's new Human Trafficking Task Force, which was just initiated in the fall of 2006. laser/Radars for Traffic Enforcement Patrol Vehicles and Motorcycles Clearwater proposes to utilize $25,900 in JAG funding to purchase new laser/radar units for its Traffic Enforcement Team. In the past 18 months, 11 of Clearwater's radar units have been taken out of service, all of them no longer working and unable to be repaired for a variety of reasons (all units were 10 years or older, parts were unavailable, etc.) There is no funding in Clearwater's budget to replace these units. The 11 new units that will be purchased incorporate the latest in radar technology, offering the greatest in range and accuracy. It is essential that Clearwater have accurate, reliable radar equipment if it is to be expected to enforce traffic laws within its jurisdiction. Each and every year, surveys and opinion polls reveal that traffic enforcement is the number 1 concern of Clearwater residents. Speeding and aggressive driving are creating major problems on Clearwater's roadways. Strict, reliable enforcement of traffic laws cannot be enforced if law enforcement does not have the proper tools with which to do so. The new laser/radar units will allow Clearwater police officers to provide the kind of diligent traffic enforcement that the public is demanding of them. All of the above items will be purchased and installed within the grant period, most likely within the first year. Item # 5 Meeting Date:6/4/2007 Work Session Council Chambers - City Hall SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION: Accept Easement For Ingress/Egress and Utilities over, under and across portions of Block 12, MAGNOLIA PARK SUB., and Block 12, COURT SQUARE SUB., totaling 7,642 square feet, as conveyed by The Church of Scientology Religious Trust in consideration of receipt of $1.00 and the benefits to be derived therefrom. (consent) SUMMARY: The Church of Scientology has constructed its four story 581 space parking garage addressed at 645 Franklin Street. The subject easements consist of a 24-foot wide access and utility easement containing 7151 square feet and extending along the westerly boundary of the garage site between Franklin and Court Street, and a 491 square foot easement adjacent to Franklin Street right-of-way. The larger easement grants the City authority to maintain and replace its sanitary sewer line as necessary within the prescribed easement area. The smaller easement parcel provides authority for the City to maintain a fire hydrant and water line connection at the base of the garage's northwest stair tower.

Item # 6 Meeting Date:6/4/2007 Work Session Council Chambers - City Hall SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION: Award a contract for "Demolition of Commercial Structure - Jack Russell Stadium, 801 Phillies Drive (07-0002-PR)" to JVS Contracting, Inc. of Tampa, Florida for the sum of $104,280.00 which is the lowest responsible bid received in accordance with the plans and specifications and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent) SUMMARY: Jack Russell Stadium, 801 Phillies Drive, Clearwater, Florida was constructed in 1956 and is over 51 years old. Due to structural failures, repairs were done to this facility in 2002 that has allowed the facility to remain open until now. As this facility aged, necessary, expensive structural repairs became increasingly more frequent as dictated and required by annual structural engineering inspections performed by McCarthy and Associates, Inc. Additionally, this facility no longer achieved or provided the expected standards of level of services provided by the Parks and Recreation Department and as such a Capital Improvement Program (93254) for the future demolition of Jack Russell Stadium was created. The Engineer's Estimate of probable cost for this project was $150,000.00 and eight (8) competetive bids were received. All required asbestos abatement and environmental audits have been completed with no further action required. Funding for this project is provided by Capital Improvement Program (93254), Jack Russell Infrastructure Repairs and Demolition. This project will start as soon as possible after award and execution of contract, and is scheduled to be completed within 60 calendar days. Upon completion of all demolition activities, the facility will reopen to the public and continue to be used as a baseball playing field.

The "Clearwater Beach West Bridge Spur Connector" is a pedestrian and bicycle bridge that will cross over the Mandalay Channel south of the existing fishing pier, and will connect the existing sidewalks on Clearwater Beach and the Memorial Causeway segment of the Ream Wilson Clearwater Trail. Additionally, this bridge has been designed to carry the load of light emergency vehicles if required (ambulance / rescue and police cars only). The original design was a signature cable-stayed bridge that was competitively bid September 19,2005. The lowest bid was in the amount of $5,287,269.35 that exceeded the available federal funding. The City decided to reject the bids and redesign and rebid the bridge as a conventional, multi-span, pre-stressed concrete structure. Supplements to the original LAP agreement have been approved by City Council (7/22/02,1/15/04, and 7/21/05) increasing the grant to a total of $4,728,984.00. All construction and CEI costs associated with this LAP project will be 100% reimbursed by federal CMAQ funds administered through the FDOT. This project will start as soon as possible after award and execution of the contract, and is scheduled to be completed within 413 calendar days. All work will be done from a barge or the causeway. There will be no impact to the road or bridge 43. Sufficient CMAQ budget is available in the Capital Improvement Program project 0315-92340, Clearwater Beach West Bridge Connector, to fund the Construction in the amount of $2,983,472.03 and $390,537.00 for CEI services.

Kunnen, Jr. to condemn and acquire said TCE, and authorize appropriate officiials to execute same. SUMMARY: Channel G, of Alligator Creek, flows along the westerly limits of Fairwood Forest townhomes and the easterly boundary of Clearwater "19" Commerce Park owned by Frank C. Kunnen, Jr. The Fairwood Forest and Clearwater" 19" Commerce Park structures were built too close to the top of the channel and the ditch is between 10 and 12 feet deep. The Fairwood Forest structures are are at risk of falling into the channel unless improvements to the ditch are implemented. The Fairwood Forest Drainage Improvement Project is designed to stabilize the drainage ditch within its historic boundary utilizing gabion baskets. In 2005 all twenty-seven effected Fairwood Forest homeowners granted the City 180 day temporary construction easements to facilitate the proposed project. Mr. Kunnen, whose Commerce Park property extends approximately 550 feet along the westerly project limits, has not responded to requests for the required TCE. On November 8,2006 Colliers Arnold Valuation Services appraised and valued the TCE at $5,500. A purchase agreement offering to pay Mr. Kunnen the full appraised value of the 180 day TCE for project purposes was delivered via certified mail, return receipt on April 9, 2007. Mr. Kunnen met with City staff subsequent to receipt of the purchase offer seeking additional drainage improvements along the southerly boundary of Clearwater "19" Commerce Park. Estimated costs of the proposed improvements were prohibitive, and Mr. Kunnen has not provided any further response to the purchase offer. Total project construction costs are presently estimated at approximately $2,000,000, including approximately $364,000 of improvements to be made to Clearwater "19" Commerce Park property in addition to the cash consideration Mr. Kunnen will receive for the TCE. additional project costs will likely be incurred as a result of the eminent domain process. These coudl include professional fees for attorney(s), appraiser(s) and engineer(s) hired by Mr. Kunnen. Although the exact total costs of the petition to condemn the subject easement are unknown, staff is confident sufficient funding is available in Alligator Creek Implementation Project II (0357-96154) to fund the suit and construction costs.

Name: Board Name: Item # 10 Meeting Date:6/4/2007 Work Session Council Chambers - City Hall SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION: Approve Modification to Settlement Stipulation between City of Clearwater and Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. as successor to Eller Media Company and Patrick Media Group, Inc., and authorize appropriate officials to execute same. (consent) SUMMARY: In 1998, the City entered into a Settlement Stipulation in Patrick Media Group Inc. v. City of Clearwater, Case No. 93-174-CI (21), a case regarding billboard amortization. Patrick was succeeded by Eller Media Company and then by Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. As part of the Stipulation, the company was to remove, and did remove, two billboards on Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard, and was to be allowed to replace them with two billboards at sites of its choosing on U.S. 19. Clear Channel selected a site at 19246 U.S. 19; however, that site is subject to a Development Order requiring compliance with current code which does not allow billboards. Meanwhile, the owner of property at Drew Street and Belcher Road had obtained approval for development [FLD2006-1 0058A]. That property contains an existing billboard also owned by Clear Channel. The Belcher Road property is also the subject of an annexation application, ANX2006-1 0039. This Modification of the Settlement Stipulation provides that Clear Channel will be allowed to erect the billboard at 19246 U.S. 19 following removal of the Belcher Road billboard. The new billboard will be 50' in height as opposed to 40' per the company's assertion that trees and shrubbery compromise visibility at 40'. The City would also support amendment of the Development Order for the U.S. 19 site to allow the new billboard.

City, Case No. 93-2860-CI-21. (consent) SUMMARY: The City has been involved in litigation relating to a claim of Excessive Force against Chief Sid Klein and former Police Officer Robert P Milliron regarding an incident that occurred on August 16, 1991, during which John Crouch was shot and killed by Officer Milliron. The City Commission approved outside counsel services for the defense of this case on November 8, 1993. The Plaintiffs have been extremely resistant to mediation arbitration or settlement of this case. This case has been set for trial three times in the last year. In January, 2006, it was continued to the March docket. On March 6, 2006, during jury selection the court struck the entire jury panel after making unsolicited comments about Officer Milliron which were inadmissible at a civil trial. The case has again been set for trial on July 16,2007. The City Attorney is requesting an attorney client session in this case before the trial begins.
