AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: November 4, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Mark E. Davis:
SUBJECT: Visitor - World Diabetes Day lapel pin Presentation
Documents are attached related to Mark E. Davis to Present the Board a World Diabetes Day
lapel pin.
Packet Pg. 6
November is National Diabetes Month and November 14 is World Diabetes Day. To
advocate for better diabetes awareness and education, the International Diabetes
Federation (IDF) encourages those suffering with the disease to meet with community
leaders and present them with a World Diabetes Day lapel pin. We would like to meet
with the Board of Okaloosa County Commissioners, so that our daughter Abigail can
present them with a World Diabetes Day lapel pin in hopes that they will wear it for the
month of November to bring awareness to this important cause.
The World Diabetes Day campaign is led by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF)
and its member associations. It engages millions of people worldwide in diabetes
advocacy and awareness. World Diabetes Day was created in 1991 by the International
Diabetes Federation and the World Health Organization in response to growing concerns
about the escalating health threat that diabetes now poses. As of this year, over 382
million people are living with diabetes and more than 497,000 children under age 15
years has type 1 diabetes. Of the 382 million people living with diabetes, 29.1 million
reside in the US. 8.1 million people have this disease and haven’t been diagnosed.
Diabetes is the sixth leading cause of death in the US and has a direct and indirect cost of
diabetes total $174 billion a year.
The most common forms of diabetes are Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes. Type 1
diabetes accounts for about 5% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes.
• Type 1 diabetes is usually first diagnosed in children and young adults, although it
can occur at any time. To survive, people with type 1 diabetes use insulin from an
injection or a pump. Risk factors for type 1 can be autoimmune, genetic or
environmental. At this time, there are no known ways to prevent type 1 diabetes.
• Type 2 diabetes accounts for about 95% of diagnosed diabetes in adults. Several
studies have shown that healthy eating and regular physical activity, used with
medication, can help control health complications from type 2 diabetes or can
prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes
Abby was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when she was 18 months old. Now age 12,
Abby has been an advocate for a cure from day one. She participated in her first Walk
for a Cure 2 weeks after she was diagnosed and hasn’t missed a year since. She has
actively engaged local, state, and national leaders to lobby for increased funding and
awareness of the differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes and the challenges
associated with each. In 2011, she was one of two children selected to represent the State
of Alabama at the biannual Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s (JDRF) Children’s
Congress in Washington DC. She met with Congressman Roby and Bachus as well as
Senators Shelby and Sessions. Because of her advocacy as well as many others
passionate about finding a cure for diabetes, Congress renewed the $150 million dollar
Special Diabetes Program, which will continue to fund promising research for a cure. We
hope you will wear the pin proudly to support the diabetes community and our fight for a
cure.
Regards,
Mark & Kimberly Davis

AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: November 4, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Elliot Kampert
SUBJECT: Visitor - Gulf Power Community Energy Saver Program
DEPARTMENT: Growth Management
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Gulf Power and the Okaloosa Community Development
Corporation will update the Board of County Commissioners regarding implementation of Gulf
Power's Community Energy Saver program.
BACKGROUND: Gulf Power Corporation's Community Energy Saver program was
established to:
• Assist families living in income eligible neighborhoods by performing a free Energy
Checkup and installing energy conservation measures at no cost to the customer.
• Educate families on energy efficiency techniques and best practices.
• Help save money by changing and controlling energy use behaviors.
• Provide information on additional energy saving programs offered by Gulf Power
Unlike many energy audit programs which typically focus on individual households and rely on
the households to initiate the process, the Community Energy Saver program is intended to work
at the community level with direct, proactive outreach by Gulf Power. For this effort,
neighborhoods in the Fort Walton Beach, Niceville, and Crestview areas were identified using
Census data. Due to Gulf Power's service area, neighborhoods in DeFuniak Springs were also
included. Gulf Power also worked closely with the CDC which, as the County's SHIP
Administrator and NSP contractor, provided an opportunity to cost-effectively reach
concentrations of income qualified households. The update will include a Powerpoint
presentation.
No County funds were expended for this program.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Board receive the presentation and ask
questions as may seem appropriate to the Gulf Power and CDC representatives.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE: A proposed Amendment to the Ray & Shelley Netherwood hangar
lease, Block 8 Lot 1 at the Destin/Ft. Walton Beach Airport, is being presented to the Board of
County Commissioners for approval.
BACKGROUND: On June 11, 2007 the Board approved a hangar lease for Mr. & Mrs.

actual amount of 1,250, resulting in an error of 100 square feet. This Amendment will correct the
error. Also attached is a current certificate of insurance along with the contract and lease internal
coordination sheet.
OPTIONS: Approve, Reject or Table.

AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: November 4, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Rick Owen
SUBJECT: Letter of Support - Northwest Florida Estuaries Restoration Program
Proposal
DEPARTMENT: County Administrator
BCC DISTRICT: ALL
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Staff requests the Board approve and authorize the Chairman to
sign the letter of support for the Northwest Florida Estuaries Restoration Program Proposal and
transmit the letter to Governor Rick Scott.
BACKGROUND: The Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council (GCERC) has asked for
water quality and habitat restoration projects to be funded from Pot 2 of the RESTORE Act. Pot
2 funding is controlled by the Council.
The GCERC has asked each of the 5 Gulf of Mexico coastal States to submit 5 project ideas to
the Council for funding consideration. After consultation among the 8 "disproportionately
affected counties" (Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, Bay, Franklin, Gulf, and Wakulla
Counties) staff suggests that a regional application would have the highest chance of success
and the most positive environmental benefits for the region. Both the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the Council itself have indicated a preference for these
types of large area or regional projects.
The following are the goals (taken from the application) of this approach:
1. Develop a watershed-based plan founded on a unified, holistic vision for a healthy
watershed and that identifies the most pressing environmental issues affecting the
watershed and solutions that address the issues, regardless of political jurisdiction and
funding source.
2. Develop a list of projects in each watershed that specifically addresses solutions to the
identified issues and the root causes of the issues. The project list can be used to pursue
project funding for RESTORE Act and non-RESTORE Act related funding programs
(e.g., grants and Public Private Partnerships) by clearly documenting the need for the
projects in the context of how they will address solutions to the identified watershed
issues.
3. Provide a screening tool for the communities, FDEP, Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission (FWC), National Fish and Wildlife Foundation’s Gulf
Environmental Benefit Fund (NFWF GEBF) and the GCERC to use as they evaluate
project priorities for potential funding.
Packet Pg. 60
4. Focus stakeholder efforts in each of the watersheds and across the regions to increase
long-term coordination and maximize effectiveness of funding and efforts.
If the Northwest Florida Estuaries Restoration Program Proposal is approved by the State of
Florida as one of the 5 allowed applications, it will be forwarded to the GCERC for
consideration.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove letter of support.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends the Board approve the letter of support for the
Northwest Florida Estuaries Restoration Program Proposal and authorize the Chairman to sign
and transmit the letter to Governor Rick Scott.

The Honorable Rick Scott
State of Florida, The Capitol

Tallahassee, FL 32399-0001
Dear Governor Scott,
Okaloosa County supports The Nature Conservancy’s grant application to the Gulf Coast
Ecosystem Restoration Council, for the Northwest Florida Estuaries Restoration Project. This
project is the unique and perfect partnership of the Eight Disproportionately Affected Counties in
Florida to restore the estuaries of the northern Florida gulf coast while still tailored to local
impacts and priorities.
This project includes restoration activities in the eight primary watersheds of northwest Florida:
Perdido Bay, Pensacola Bay, Choctawhatchee Bay, St. Andrews Bay, St. Joseph Bay,
Apalachicola Bay, Ocklockonee Bay, and St. Marks Bay. As a result of the watershed strategic
planning sessions facilitated by the Nature Conservancy, Northwest Florida coastal communities
have mobilized to identify the critical issues that must be addressed in their watersheds.
The uniquely positive characteristic of this process and these projects is that jurisdictional
boundaries are erased and the partnership focuses on the best interest of the entire watershed.
These projects are tailored to each watershed with the purpose of identifying the root causes of
degradation and how to most effectively address the problems. All eight counties and the
northern gulf coast will benefit from application of these focused solutions.
We thank you for your consideration of this application and look forward to working with the
Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council.
Sincerely,
Charles K. Windes, Jr.
Chairman

Northwest Florida Estuaries Restoration Program Proposal
$160M Pot 2 Funding Opportuntity
$17.6M Panhandle Estuary Program Proposal
8 estuaries
DEP receives Funds and distributes
using CBIR model (~ $2M per estuary)
Priorities Identified via TNC
watershed planning process
$
Key Points of the Proposal:
• Money distributed via a CBIR type process
• Priority projects identified using a TNC facilitated science-based stakeholder decision process using the
watershed groups currently in place.
• State receives grant and funds TNC to continue watershed planning to develop a science-based projct
prioritization prcoess.
• Projects identified in each estuary (approx. $2M per estuary).
Goal 1: DEP recommends and the Governor submits the TNC propsal to the Gulf Coast Restoration Council for
funding from the budget 2 RESTORE Act funds.
Success strategy:
• Letter of support to the Governor from each of the eight counties for the TNC to develop and submit the
Proposal to DEP and for the Governor to include as one of FL’s five proposals to the Gulf Coast
Restoration Council.
• Educate and inform state and local officials and organizations of the proposal’s importance to improving
the economic and environmental quality of Panhandle ecosystems.
Goal 2: Gulf Coast Restoration Council selects TNC proposal for funding.
Success strategy:
• Educate and inform all members of the Council, key Senators and Representatives and other interested
parties about the importance of funding this program proposal in Florida.
• Eight County Resolution supporting the proposal
Key Messages:
• Panhandle counties have organized around five watersheds to identify priority issues, root causes and major
actions to improve the economic and enivronmental health of their communities.
• Watershed groups include representatives from Federal, State and local agencies (including AL
representatives), NGOs, universities, business groups, and local stakeholders
• This proposal continues that work by funding the science-based prioritization of projects and providing
~ $2M for each estuary to begin project implementation
Packet Pg. 63
• Ultimate goal is to identify the an initial suite of projects necessary to help improve the environmental and
economic health of each watershed, regardless of funding source, then pursue funding including
RESTORE, Grants, Public Private Partnerships and any other available relevant funding opportunty.

SUBJECT: Seeking Board Approval of A Direct Pay to Cartegraph
DEPARTMENT: Purchasing
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Seeking Board approval of a Direct Pay to Cartegraph.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: Cartegraph licensing renewal is associated with existing
software which is proprietary to Public Works. This software is used for the Public Works work
order system which is essential for their operations. The payment request for this
renewal/support was entered timely as a requisition by Public Works staff. Purchasing, in
cooperation with the Finance Department, is making an effort to convert all software
renewals/support to contracts for more efficient payment and tracking capability. Purchasing
staff has been successful with creating a contract with Cartegraph and a contract payment is in
progress.
Cartegraph representatives have stated they will no longer support the software and the licenses
will be deactivated if payment has not been rendered by November 15, 2014. If there is an
unforeseen delay in processing the contract payment, staff requests Board authorization to issue a
direct payment of $17,235 to Cartegraph for the software license renewals/support.
OPTIONS: Approve/Deny a direct payment to Cartegraph if necessary to render payment prior
to November 15, 2014.

necessary to render payment prior to November 15, 2014.

SUBJECT: Seeking Approval to Award Bid for Access Control System Replacement
DEPARTMENT: Purchasing
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Seeking approval to award and authorize Chairman to sign contract
for Security 101, LLC.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The Airports requested a bid to solicit the replacement of the
Access Control System (ACS) at the Northwest Florida Regional Airport (NWFRA). Bids were
received on October 1, 2014 with Security 101, LLC being the lowest responsive/responsible
bidder at $104,009.07. The bid includes assumptions due to the sensitivity of the security
system. The overall bid is subject to additional scope which was determined at the walk through
to verify all security infrastructure. The additional cost will be $12,841.67. Each bid would
have been subject to this additional work. The total cost of the project will be $116,850.74. Staff
requests the Board approve the award to Security 101, LLC and authorize the Chairman to sign
the contract.
The project will replace the system due to the age of the system, inadequate technology
integration, and continued system failures. The replacement will include software, biometric
readers, badge printer, control panels, and other access control hardware. The ACS replacement
is funded as follows: 50% Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)/ 50% Local. The
project is scheduled to take approximately three (3) to five (5) weeks.

Re: Access Control Proposal
Dear Tracy Stage:
This is a request for an additive change order. During the RFP process the owner supplied information
that led the bidders to believe that the current system operated off of two IC controller and all field devices
were daisy chained to these ICs, after the post-bid inspection we have found that the current system
consists of four total IC controllers that are in a network configuration. In order to provide a successful
conversion to Genetec hardware and labor to install must be added, totaling $6,517.98.
Also omitted from the RFP was a recent system change that added "ACU 9" with six readers attached.
Hardware, software and labor to incorporate this recent addition into the conversion will increase the
project by $6,323.70.
We understand that in order to expedite this process the owner wishes to provide POs in lieu of a formal
contract. Security101 will accept the base bid amount in the form of a PO to start work, however, the
County will need to supply separate POs to incorporate the changes shown above.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: November 4, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Jason Autrey
SUBJECT: Request to advertise RFB for Jail Parking Lot Repair
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: One
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Bid documents for this project are currently being routed through
the internal review process. Public Works is prepared to administer the construction and
inspections phase of the project. Therefore, approval from the Board of County Commissioners
is being requested to begin the advertisement process.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: In April 2014, a major overnight storm event caused
significant damage to much of Okaloosa County’s roadway and drainage infrastructure. One of
the sites most heavily damaged was the parking area of the Okaloosa County Department of
Corrections Facility. The County tasked Avcon, Inc. to perform the survey and design
documents needed for repairs for this site. Construction plans have been completed and the bid
documents and specifications are currently being reviewed.
The cost of these repairs will be 75% funded by direct reimbursement through FEMA’s declared
“State of Emergency” for this storm event. Other funding will include a 12.5% direct
reimbursement from the State of Florida leaving the County responsible for the remaining 12.5%
of the total construction cost. The construction estimate for this project submitted by Avcon, Inc.
is stated as $148,518.00. The 12.5% County portion of the total project cost is approximately
$18,565.00.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove authorization to advertise the RFB for the Department of
Corrections Parking Lot Repair.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve authorization to advertise the RFB for the Department of
Corrections Parking Lot Repair.

TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Ed Schroeder
SUBJECT: Destin Seafood Festival, 2013 Event Funding
DEPARTMENT: Tourist Development Department
BCC DISTRICT:
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Destin Seafood Festival was approved for various marketing
activities outside the local area under the TDD’s special events and sponsorships funding
program for the October 2013 event. Reimbursement was requested in September 2014, but
could not be processed for two reasons.
BACKGROUND: First, according to Section F.300 (4) of the TDD Manual, “The Okaloosa
County tourist development logo and appropriate web links must appear prominently in Event
marketing materials (written and/or electronic) supported by the Special Event and Sponsorship
funding”. The radio ads mention “Emerald Coast Visitors Center” and the Emerald Coast logo is
displayed commensurate with the event’s other supporters in print and online. The Finance
office has denied payment in the amount of $9,285.50 for the Seafood Festival’s radio,
television, and print inserts and related design work and website updates on the basis that the
Emerald Coast logo is not prominently displayed. Logo prominence has not been previously
questioned for any special event.
Second, pursuant to Section F.300 (6) of the TDD Manual, special event and sponsorship
funding is awarded on a value-based or results-based approach: “up to $10 per historically
documented or anticipated room night.” However, Section F.400 (4) of the TDD Manual notes
reimbursement is on a cost-based or efforts-based approach: “Invoices for pre-event
marketing/attendance stimulation initiatives.” There is definitive marketing value in website
exposure and the County has historically paid third-party vendors on a per-impression basis as
part of the strategic marketing plan. A rate of $0.20 per impression has been consistently used to
compensate special events for promoting the Emerald Coast in their online marketing (e.g.
Emerald Coast Golf Tour, Emerald Coast Sports Camps, Emerald Coast Volleyball). Although
the County has historically reimbursed special events for website impressions, the Finance office
has denied payment in the amount of $9,609.80 for the Seafood Festival’s website impressions.
The Tourist Development Council reviewed this reimbursement request and voted to recommend
approval at its October 23, 2014 meeting.
OPTIONS: Approve or Disapprove
RECOMMENDATION: Approve payment in the amount of $18,895.30 for radio, television,
and print advertisements and related design work and website updates, as well as website
impressions, for the 2013 Destin Seafood Festival.

DEPARTMENT: Tourist Development Department
BCC DISTRICT:
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: TDD staff accepted the Florida State HOG Rally’s application for
various marketing activities outside the local area under the TDD’s special events and

BACKGROUND: Section F.300 (8) of the TDD Manual states: “The Post-Event Report shall be

SUBJECT: Emerald Coast Volleyball, 2014 Event Funding
DEPARTMENT: Tourist Development Department
BCC DISTRICT:
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: TDD staff approved the Emerald Coast Fall Volleyball Classic for
various marketing activities outside the local area under the TDD’s special events and
sponsorships funding program for the October 2014 event. However, payment cannot be
rendered because the purchase order was not certified.
BACKGROUND: The event dates were October 1 - 5, therefore funded in the FY15 budget.
Purchasing opened the system for FY15 purchase requisition entry on September 30, and staff
entered a requisition at that time. Purchasing processed the requisition on October 1, and the
purchase order was received by Finance on October 2. The Finance office denied certification of
the purchase order on October 2 since the event start date was October 1.
In accordance with the expenses approved on the application, payment in the amount of
$3,622.30 is requested for printing and mailing of the registration letter and $7,597.60 is
requested for website impressions.
The Tourist Development Council reviewed this reimbursement request and voted to recommend
approval at its October 23, 2014 meeting.
OPTIONS: Approve or Disapprove

in the amount of $59,499 is available for appropriation. To the greatest extent possible, such
opportunities will be presented to the TDC for recommendation to the BCC for approval in
advance.
Task Order 144 in the amount of $18,895 authorizes a social media sweepstakes, email opt-in
button on the website in conjunction with visitors guide requests, and development of three pop-
up banners for use at trade shows. Due to the timing of regular meetings, the TDC is unable to
provide a recommendation to the Board. TDC will be apprised of this use of promotional
reserves at its August 28 meeting.
Although the task order language reflects BCC approval on August 5, the requisite approvals
could not be obtained in time and the task order is being presented to BCC on August 19.
OPTIONS: Approve or Disapprove
RECOMMENDATION: Approve Peter Mayer task order 144 titled Social Media Sweepstakes,
Visitors Guide Email, & Pop-Up Banners in the amount of $18,895.

SUBJECT: Extension of FDOT Contract AQD91 - 5311
DEPARTMENT: Growth Management
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Department of Growth Management requests that the Board
authorize the after-the-fact extension of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Grant
AQD91 and the associated task order.
BACKGROUND: Through the Florida Department of Transportation, Okaloosa County
receives funds from Section 5311 of Title 49 of the US Code that are used to reimburse Okaloosa
County Transit (OCT) for the purchase of paratransit trips and for the WAVE operation in
northern areas of the County. The current 5311 grant, AQD91, had an expiration date of
September 30, 2014. Under FDOT’s process, extensions are granted administratively with
electronic amendment of the grant file with no hard copies of any documents being exchanged
or provided. Therefore, prior to expiration, staff requested and received from the FDOT a 1-year
extension of this grant, and funds have been expended accordingly. However, because the term
of the original grant was approved by the Board of County Commissioners, it is necessary that
the Board authorize the extension as well, and also must authorize the execution of the task order
and task order approval needed to provide the services to be provided through the grant funding.
The remainder of staff signatures on the attached task order approval form will be obtained upon
Board approval of the extension. The extension does not alter any of the budget items within the
grant.
Transportation Disadvantaged Trip and Equipment Grant provides local match for paratransit trips;
County provides match for the Crestview WAVE/Express as applicable. No additional local
funds are needed for this extension.
RECOMMENDATION: The Department of Growth Management requests that the Board
authorize the extension of FY 14 5311 grant AQD91 until September 30, 2015, and authorize the
Chairman to sign the attached Task Order No. 44.2, Revised to be retroactive to October 1, 2014.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Department of Growth Management requests that the Board
grant after-the-fact authorization to extend the expiration of Grant AQH66 until 1/30/2015.
BACKGROUND: As provided in Chapter 341 of the Florida Statutes, Okaloosa County
receives funds from the Florida Department of Transportation to provide public transit service
along the US 98 corridor. The current contract through which these funds are provided expired
on September 30, 2014. However, under FDOT’s process, extensions are granted
administratively with electronic amendment of the grant file with no hard copies of any
documents being exchanged or provided. Therefore, prior to expiration, staff requested and
received from the FDOT an extension of this grant. However, because the term of the original
grant was approved by the Board of County Commissioners, it is necessary that the Board
authorize the extension as well, and also must authorize the execution of the revised task orders
needed to provide the services to be provided through the grant funding. The remainder of staff
signatures on the task order and task order approval form will be obtained upon Board approval
of the extension. Except for the extension of the expiration date, the requested action does not
otherwise alter the grant.
RECOMMENDATION: The Department of Growth Management requests that the Board of
County Commissioners grant after-the-fact authorization for the extension of FY 14 Corridor
Grant AQH66 (new expiration of 1/30/2015) and authorize the Chairman to sign the attached

SUBJECT: PJ Adams Emergency Overlay - Budget Transfer
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: District 1
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Staff is requesting permission to reallocate funds between the Old
Ebenezer Road resurfacing project and PJ Adams Emergency Overlay project to advance the
overlaying of more of PJ Adams Road this fiscal year.
BACKGROUND: During the 2015 budget cycle, the BCC approved $250,000 for Old Ebenezer
Road overlay and $150,000 for the PJ Adams Emergency Overlay. Public Works would like to
overlay only the Cold Mix section on Old Ebenezer Road for a cost of $100,000 and transfer the
remaining amount, $150,000 to the PJ Adams Emergency Overlay project.
The fiscal 2015 budget was approved by the BCC and allocated in account 3201-563243 @
$150,000 - PJ Adams Emergency Overlay & 3202-563149 @ $250,000 - Old Ebenezer Road
overlay.
Staff believes that by overlaying only the Cold Mix section on Old Ebenezer Road, we can defer
approximately $150,000 to be used on the PJ Adams Emergency Overlay. This additional
amount will allow us to go from the FDOT bridge approach (I-10) ROW to the new construction
near Hwy 85.
While staff acknowledges that the roadway widening is progressing (anticipated in the next 5
years), the conditions of the existing roadway are deteriorating to the extent that interim
overlaying of the roadway is needed to keep the roadway functional in the meantime.
The remaining portion of Old Ebenezer Road can be resurfaced in FY 16 as part of the CIP
budget requests.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Board approve the changes as
recommended and allow transfer of $150,000 from the Old Ebenezer project account to PJ
Adams Emergency Overlay account.

SUBJECT: Engineering and Right of Way Acquisition Services for the Widening of
PJ Adams Parkway
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: 3
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request approval to enter into contract with HDR, Inc for design
services as it relates to the widening of PJ Adams Parkway. The attached scope and fee will
provide for the full design of a four-lane roadway from SR 85 to the overpass at Interstate 10.
BACKGROUND: By way of a Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP) agreement
between Okaloosa County and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), approximately
$4,400,000 is available to complete the four-lane design of PJ Adams Parkway from SR 85 to the
overpass at I-10 as well as procure right of way from SR 85 to Ashley Drive. Future funding
agreements will continue the acquisition of right of way as well as fund segments for
consruction.
Included as part of this scope and fee is the full four-lane design from SR 85 to the overpass with
I-10. Once the design is complete staff will coordinate with FDOT regarding the right of way
acquisition aspect of the TRIP agreement. The RFQ previously advertised included the
provision for right of way services, but at the suggestion of FDOT it has been determined that it
would be most appropriate to separate the design and right of way services.
The proposed scope and fee herein is separated into two components; Base Scope and Optional
Services. The Base Scope includes the full topographical survey, geotechnical exploration,
mapping, roadway design, construction cost estimating, PD&E re-evaluation and cultural
resource assessment for a not to exceed fee of $1,508,839.86. Optional services (that may be
required based on the outcome of the design) include wetland mitigation design and noise wall
design; these are available for a not to exceed fee of $53,870.94. Optional services will require
approval from staff if they are deemed necessary as part of the design effort, but prior to
execution by the consultant. The total not to exceed fee is $1,562,710.80.
On September 2, 2014 the Board of County Commissioners authorized staff to negotiate with
HDR, Inc. to perform the necessary services. The proposed scope and fee is attached for
consideration. Funding for this project is through a TRIP Agreement with FDOT for a total
value of $4.4 million; this includes a 50% match by the County. The contract, scope and
insurance requirements have all been reviewed and approved by the proper County departments.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: November 4, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Jason Autrey
SUBJECT: Payment for Waste Tire Removal
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Contract C05-1115-PW for waste tire removal expired on
September 30, 2014. As a new contract has not been established to provide these services, Little
Tire Hauling has continued to perform the necessary services in accordance with the prior
contract. The request is being made to authorize payment to Little Tire Hauling for services
rendered beyond the term of the contract.
BACKGROUND: Okaloosa County has utilized the services of Little Tire Hauling for several
years to manage the hauling and disposal of waste tires generated by residents, businesses, and
Fleet Operations. A request for proposals to perform waste tire hauling services was advertised
on-line prior to the expiration of the current contract and unfortunately there were no responses.
Vendors were apparently unaware of the advertisement. In response, staff has re-advertised the
request for quotes and specifically notified three vendors that provide this service in this region.
This request for quotes is due October 31, 2014.
In the meantime the County continues to have a need for waste tire disposal in order to remain
compliant with Florida Department of Environmental Protection regulations. Little Tire Hauling
has agreed to continue performing the services at the past contract rate, however authorization
from the Board of County Commissioners is required since the original contract has lapsed.
Staff is requesting authorization to pay any and all invoices provided by Little Tire Hauling
subsequent to October 1, 2014 at the original contract rate ($110 per ton for hauling and
disposal) until a new contract is prepared and authorized. On average the cost for this service is
approximately $1,000 per month; it is anticipated that a new waste tire removal contract will be
in place within three months.
We are requesting authorization to pay any and all invoices provided by Little Tire Hauling
subsequent to October 1, 2014 at the price of $110 per ton for hauling and disposal until a new
contract, based on the quotes received on Oct 31, is prepared. The annual amount estimated for
the cost of waste tire management is $12,000.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove authorization for payment of invoices from Little Tire Hauling
for services performed subsequent to October 1, 2014 for waste tire hauling removal until such
time that a new contract for the same services is approved by the Board of County
Commissioners.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve authorization for payment of invoices from Little Tire
Hauling for services performed subsequent to October 1, 2014 for waste tire removal until such
Packet Pg. 606
time that a new contract for the same services is approved by the Board of County
Commissioners.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: November 4, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Jeff Littrell
SUBJECT: Shoal River Buffer Land Acquisition - Purchase Approval
DEPARTMENT: Water and Sewer
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Staff requests that the Board of County Commissioners (BCC)
approve the purchase of land for the Shoal River Buffer and authorize the Chairman to execute a
Resolution, Purchase & Sale Agreement, Restrictive Use Easement, and Closing Documents.
This land purchase is funded by the Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration (REPI)
program and Defense Infrastructure Grants (DIG). The Shoal River Buffer Land Acquisition
benefits both the Air Force (Duke Field flight path) and Okaloosa County (watershed protection
for future water supply).
BACKGROUND: See attached files:
"OCWS Future Water Supply Update" - explains the need, background, and history. Note this is
from the 12/3/2013 BCC presentation.
"OCWS Future Water Supply Plan (Map)" - depicts the current plan/strategy, after years of
planning. This map shows potential locations for the following infrastructure: surface water
treatment plant, off-line reservoir, river intake structure, raw water pumping station, transmission
lines, roads, and the Gulf Power transmission line relocation.
"2010 Implementation Plan (Updated)" - the BCC approved this plan in February 2010. At the
time, it was an unfunded road map. Since then, we have entered into as many partnerships as
possible - Northwest Florida Water Management District, Eglin Air Force Base, and the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers - to accomplish many items on this Implementation Plan. Items
highlighted in green are completed, and items highlighted in yellow are underway.
"REPI Map" - this is Exhibit B of the REPI Cooperative Agreement and functions as a map of
potential land to be purchased for the Shoal River Buffer Land Acquisition.
In addition to the above-mentioned background items, the following documents are attached for
your consideration, with an explanation below:
- County Contract Review Coordination Sheet for the Resolution and Restrictive Use Easement
- Resolution
- Restrictive Use Easement
- County Contract Review Coordination Sheet for the Purchase & Sale Agreement
- Purchase & Sale Agreement
At the 12/3/2013 meeting, the BCC authorized staff to move forward with the Shoal River Buffer
Packet Pg. 608
Land Acquisition with the grant funding that has been obtained. The BCC also authorized staff
to negotiate with the property owner and bring back a contract for approval and execution.
At the 4/15/2014 meeting, the BCC approved and executed the Cooperative Agreement with the
Air Force, which consolidated REPI funding from previous years and committed the County to
put land into a type of conservation easement formally known as a Restrictive Use Easement
(RUE). The land in the RUE will come from both the proposed land purchase and the existing
acreage along the Shoal River that the County purchased in 2007.
Since the 4/15/2014 BCC meeting, two independent land appraisals have been completed per
State Statutes & Air Force standards. The Seller has agreed to a purchase price equal to the
average of the two appraisals. What staff is asking for your consideration and approval today is
essentially the execution of the agreements and concepts that the Board approved at the
12/3/2013 and 4/15/2014 BCC meetings, related to the Air Force (mission protection and
enhancement) and Okaloosa County (watershed protection).
Therefore, for your consideration and approval today is a Resolution regarding the purchase of
the property. With this Resolution, the BCC would be: 1) approving the attached Purchase &
Sale Agreement and authorizing the Chairman or Vice-Chairman to execute, 2) approving the
attached Restrictive Use Easement (RUE) and authorizing the Chairman or Vice-Chairman to
execute, 3) authorizing the Chairman or Vice-Chairman, or their designee to execute and deliver
any and all documentation related to the closing documents, and 4) authorizing the Chairman and
County staff to perform the requirements of the Purchase & Sale Agreement, the Cooperative
Agreement, the Defense Infrastructure Grant (DIG) Agreements, the RUE, and this Resolution.
For example, should a time extension be necessary, the Chairman or Vice-Chairman, or their
designee, is authorized to execute such an extension.
Also included in the closing documents will be the RUE dedicated to the Air Force; thus,
creating the buffer. The attached RUE has been negotiated with the Air Force and has been
through County Contract Review. However, it still has to go through final Air Force review,
which typically happens after the Purchase & Sale Agreement is signed. Please understand that
the BCC approval of the RUE is subject to final revisions by the Air Force and County legal
counsel. This document will be one of many executed on or around the date of closing.
Through the REPI program, the Air Force is expected to wire the necessary money stipulated in
the Cooperative Agreement. DIG monies will be fronted by OCWS' reserve and reimbursed by
Enterprise Florida, Inc. (EFI) via the executed grant agreements. Both the REPI and DIG grants
include both land acquisition costs and closing costs. The land purchase price and closing costs
should be covered 100% by the above-mentioned grants; however, in the event that the closing
costs push the total amount needed over the grant money available, a small amount of additional
money (less than $50K) could be needed from OCWS’ budget, where money is available in 411-
4120-561300.
County Contract Review has been completed and the Coordination Sheets are attached for your
review. In addition, Nabors Giblin Nickerson is serving as the real estate attorney to manage the
closing and ensure all local, state, and federal requirements are met. The attached Purchase &
Packet Pg. 609
Sale agreement stipulates the closing by 12/31/2014, unless a delay is mutually agreeable to the
parties. Staff is planning for a closing the 2nd or 3rd week in December, before the holidays.
OPTIONS: Approve or deny.
RECOMMENDATIONS: OCWS staff recommends BCC approval for the purchase of land to
serve as the Shoal River Buffer and authorize the Chairman to execute a Resolution, Purchase &
Sale Agreement, Restrictive Use Easement, and Closing Documents.

The Need
Water customers in
Okaloosa County are
served by OCWS and
several other utilities
Drinking water supply
relies on wells in the
Floridan Aquifer
Water levels in the
Floridan Aquifer have
been declining since the
1950’s and further
declines are not
sustainable
Packet Pg. 612
The Need
Okaloosa County will need additional water sources to:
– Sustain County’s economic and population growth
– Protect Floridan Aquifer and prevent saltwater intrusion
– Provide for conjunctive use
Packet Pg. 613
Planning Background and History
Early 1990’s – Northwest Florida
Water Management District and
OCWS began to foresee the need
for future water supply planning
Mid 1990’s thru Mid 2000’s –
Initial studies were performed by
various groups (USACE and
NWFWMD primarily) on potential
sources throughout Okaloosa
County.
1999 – Creation of the Regional
Utility Authority (RUA)
Packet Pg. 614
Planning Background and History
2004 – Construction of a 21-mile
30-inch pipeline with two 1-MG
tanks thru Eglin AFB.
2006 – Northwest Florida Water
Management District contracted
with PBS&J to study potential
water supply alternatives.
2006 – Purchased 353 acres
along the Shoal River for future
utilization.
2008 – OCWS formed a Future
Water Supply Committee
consisting of local concerned
citizens.
Packet Pg. 615
Planning Background and History
2008 – OCWS contracted CH2M HILL to assist OCWS and
the Future Water Supply Committee with studying future
water supply.
2009-10 - Two Riverbank Filtration Studies Performed to
Evaluate Suitability of Shoal River.
2010 – In February, Okaloosa Board of County
Commissioners Approved a 4-Year Implementation Plan.
2010-13 – In partnership with the USACE and OCWS, CH2M
HILL has performed three tasks under the USACE’s
Planning Assistance to States Program which provides for a
50/50 cost-share for work performed. In total, the
partnership has performed almost $700,000 in studies with
OCWS contribution $350,000.
Packet Pg. 616
Planning Background and History
2013 – OCWS met with NWFWMD to discuss status of land
acquisition. NWFWMD has not budgeted for land acquisition
in their FY14 budget and has no firm timeline when or if land
acquisition will be funded. NWFWMD preference is for
OCWS to lead this effort.
Packet Pg. 617
Planning Background and History
2013 - Shoal River Land Acquisition was submitted to the
FDEP for consideration for Pot #2 of the RESTORE Act and
NFWF funding.
Packet Pg. 618
Next Steps
Safe Yield Analysis on Shoal River (aka Water Use Permit) -
Perform preliminary analysis to determine the feasibility of
withdrawing up to 10-million gallons per day from the Shoal
River.
Utilize existing REPI and DIG Grants obtained in partnership
with Eglin AFB to purchase land parcels north of Eglin AFB,
south of I-10 and near the Shoal River for both source water
protection, military buffer, and potential water treatment plant
site.
Packet Pg. 619
Next Steps
All three REPI Grants require a match
– The match for REPI 1 is the OCWS’s existing 353 acres along the Shoal
River.
– The match for REPI 2 and 3 is the DIG Grant 2 and 3.
DIG 1 is also available and is intended to partner with NWFWMD to
purchase the reservoir property.
Grant Utilization Plan
– Utilize REPI 2 and 3 matched with DIG 2 and 3, respectively, to purchase
land in the targeted area and place all land within a restrictive use easement
with Eglin AFB. The land acquisition may also include additional phases of
REPI & DIG.
– Seek an extension for DIG 1 from current expiration date of 12/23/13 to
allow for more time to coordinate with the NWFWMD and determine
whether they are going to assist with the land acquisition. Land purchased
with DIG 1 will not be required to be placed within a restrictive use
easement, thus it has more flexibility. Packet Pg. 620
Next Steps
Packet Pg. 621
Shoal River Buffer Land Acquisition –
Moving Forward with REPI & DIG
- Retain real estate attorney to manage closing and ensure
all local, state, and federal requirements are met.
– Obtain asking price and questionnaire from property
owner.
– Conduct 2 land appraisals in conformance with State
Statutes & Air Force standards.
– Negotiate with property owner and sign contract (will
bring back to BCC for approval and execution).
Packet Pg. 622
(continued)
– During contract period (6-12 months):
• Survey
• Environmental Baseline Survey
• Title work & insurance
• Restrictive Use Easement reviewed & signed by Air Force
– Obtain money from Eglin AFB for the land purchase and
allowable transaction costs.
– Closing
• Okaloosa County would now own the property
• Restrictive Use Easement to the Air Force would be executed
* Note: All land acquisition costs & closing costs are reimbursable through REPI &
DIG grants. However, in moving forward with this process, OCWS assumes the
financial risk on any expenses should we not close on the property. These
expenses are minimal compared to the benefit.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: November 4, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Jeff Littrell
SUBJECT: Okaloosa Island Water Supply - FDEP Grant Agreement
DEPARTMENT: Water and Sewer
BCC DISTRICT: 2
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Staff requests that the Board of County Commissioners (BCC)
approve and authorize the Chairman to execute the Grant Agreement between the County and the
Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for $600,000 of state appropriations for
the Okaloosa Island Water Supply Project.
BACKGROUND: This past February, Okaloosa County submitted three water & sewer projects
via the County lobbyist (Cardenas Partners) for state appropriations. The requests were as
follows:
1. Okaloosa Island/Wright Area Gravity Sewer Rehabilitation Project - $450,000
2. Okaloosa Island Water Supply Project - $600,000
3. Lake Pippin Area Sanitary Sewer Improvement Project - $2,000,000
This past June, staff received great news that all three requests had been funded, as listed above,
for the state FY2014-2015 budget year. We also received notice that the state appropriations
would be administered through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's (FDEP)
grant program. Since June, OCWS staff has been working with FDEP staff to firm up Project
Work Plans and resulting Grant Agreement on each project. OCWS staff has also been
coordinating the grant agreements with other County staff, including the Clerk of the Court. As
we are working with various FDEP personnel with variable timing, staff will be coming to you
with three separate FDEP Grant Agreements, one for each of the above-mentioned projects. For
these grant agreements, a match is not required, and eligible expenses can be retroactive back to
7/1/2014, provided that they meet the Scope of Work and satisfy other terms and conditions of
the grant agreement.
The first of these three FDEP Grant Agreements was approved by the BCC on October 7, 2014.
The second, "Okaloosa Island Water Supply Project", is for your review and approval today.
The agreement, titled "State Financial Assistance Agreement, Okaloosa County, DEP Agreement
No. LP46042", is attached, along with the County Contract Review Coordination Sheet. As
shown in Attachment A, the "Project Work Plan", the total project (also known as "Brooks
Bridge Water Main Bore") is estimated at $1,200,000. This $600,000 grant is budgeted as
follows: $100,000 for land/easement acquisition, $150,000 for engineering services, and
$350,000 for construction services. Because this grant does not require a match, the first
$350,000 expensed on the construction will be reimbursable from FDEP. Any additional money
to complete the project above $350,000 will be local funding from OCWS' budget. The project
generally consists of a replacement water main under Santa Rosa Sound via a directional bore
and associated connections to the existing water system. The design work will be done by
Packet Pg. 661
utilizing an existing Master Service Agreement with one of our consulting engineering firms. A
task order would be brought to the BCC in the future for approval. Bid documents, plans, and
specs would be produced to procure a contractor for this specialized work.
OPTIONS: Approve or deny.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends BCC approval for the Chairman to execute the
Grant Agreement with FDEP for $600,000 of state appropriations funding for the Okaloosa
Island Water Supply Project. Staff also requests that the BCC authorize the Chairman to execute
any future grant documents, including modifications to the grant agreement that don't change the
total dollar amount.

STATE OF FLORIDA
GRANT ASSISTANCE
PURSUANT TO LINE ITEM 1668A OF THE 2014-2015
GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT
THIS AGREEMENT is entered into between the STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT
OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, whose address is 2600 Blair Stone Road, MS 3505,
Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400 (hereinafter referred to as the “Department”) and
OKALOOSA COUNTY, whose address is 1804 Lewis Turner Boulevard, Suite 206,
Fort Walton Beach, Florida 32547 (hereinafter referred to as “Grantee”), a local government
under the laws of the State of Florida, to provide funds for the Okaloosa Island Water Supply
Project. Collectively, the Department and the Grantee shall be referred to as “Parties” or
individually as a “Party.”
In consideration of the mutual benefits to be derived from this Agreement, the
Department and the Grantee do hereby agree as follows:
1. The Grantee does hereby agree to perform in accordance with the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement, Attachment A (Project Work Plan), and all attachments and exhibits
named and attached hereto, which are incorporated by reference.
2. This Agreement shall be effective on July 1, 2014 and end no later than
September 30, 2018, inclusive. The Grantee shall be eligible for reimbursement for work
performed on or after the effective date through the expiration date of this Agreement. This
Agreement may be amended to provide for additional services if additional funding is made
available by the Legislature.
3. A. As consideration for the services satisfactorily rendered by the Grantee under the
terms of this Agreement, the Department shall pay the Grantee on a cost reimbursement
basis an amount not to exceed $600,000 toward the total estimated project cost of
$1,200,000. The parties hereto understand and agree that this Agreement does not require
a match on the part of the Grantee. If the Grantee finds, after receipt of competitive bids,
that the work described in Attachment A cannot be accomplished for the current
estimated project cost, the parties hereto agree to modify the Project Work Plan described
in Attachment A, by amendment of this Agreement, to provide for the work that can be
accomplished for the funding identified above.
B. Prior written approval from the Department’s Grant Manager shall be required for
changes between deliverable budget categories not to exceed 10% of the total deliverable
budget amount. The Department Grant Manager will transmit a copy of the written
approval and revised budget to the Department Contracts Disbursements Office for
Revised 7/14
DEP Agreement No. LP46042, Page 1 of 12
Packet Pg. 664
inclusion in the Agreement file. Changes that exceed 10% of the total approved
deliverable budget will require a formal change order to the Agreement. Changes that
transfer funds from one deliverable to another or that increase or decrease the total
deliverable funding amount will require a formal amendment to the Agreement.
C. The Grantee shall request reimbursement for all eligible project costs upon receipt
and acceptance of the deliverable(s) identified in Attachment A, utilizing a properly
completed Disbursement Request Package (provided as Attachment B). All bills for
amounts due under this Agreement shall be submitted in detail sufficient for a proper pre-
audit and post-audit thereof. A final Disbursement Request Package must be submitted
to the Department no later than December 31, 2018, to assure the availability of funds for
payment. The Disbursement Request Package must include:
(1) A completed Disbursement Request Form submitted by the Grantee’s
Grant Manager. Such requests must be accompanied by sufficiently itemized
summaries of the materials, labor, or services to identify the nature of the work
performed; the amount expended for such work; and the person providing the
service or performing the work and proof of payment of the invoices; and,
(2) A certification signed by the Grantee’s Grant Manager as to the current
cost of the Project; that the materials, labor, or services represented by the invoice
have been satisfactorily purchased or performed and applied to the project; that all
funds expended to date have been applied toward completing the Project; and,
(3) If construction is included in Attachment A, a certification by the
Engineer responsible for overseeing construction is necessary. The certification
must state that equipment, materials, labor and services represented by the
construction invoices have been satisfactorily invoiced, purchased, received,
approved and applied to the Project, as described in the Project Work Plan
(Attachment A), in accordance with construction contract documents; state that
payment is in accordance with construction contract provisions; state that
construction, up to the point of the request, is in compliance with the contract
documents; and identify all additions or deletions to the Project which have
altered the Project's performance standards, scope, or purpose since the issue of
the Department construction permit; and,
(4) Such other certificates or documents by engineers, attorneys, accountants,
contractors, or suppliers as may reasonably be required by the Department.
D. The State Chief Financial Officer requires detailed supporting documentation of
all costs under a cost reimbursement agreement. In accordance with the Attachment C,
Contract Payment Requirements, the Grantee shall comply with the minimum
requirements set forth therein. The Disbursement Request Package Form in
Attachment B shall be accompanied by supporting documentation and other
requirements as follows:

subcontractors must be substantiated by copies of invoices with backup
documentation identical to that required from the Grantee. Subcontracts which
involve payments for direct salaries of the subcontractor’s employees shall clearly
identify the personnel involved, salary rate per hour, and hours/time spent on the
project. All multipliers used (i.e. fringe benefits, overhead, and/or general and
administrative rates) shall be supported by audit. If the Department determines
that multipliers charged by any subcontractor exceeded the rates supported by
audit, the Grantee shall be required to reimburse overpayments resulting from use
of these excessive multipliers to the Department within thirty (30) days of written
notification. Interest on the excessive charges shall be calculated based on the
prevailing rate used by the State Board of Administration. For fixed price
(vendor) subcontracts, the following provisions shall apply:
a. The Grantee may award, on a competitive basis, fixed price
subcontracts to consultants/contractors in performing the work described
in Attachment A. Invoices submitted to the Department for fixed price
subcontracted activities shall be supported with a copy of the
subcontractor’s invoice and a copy of the tabulation form for the
competitive procurement process (Invitation to Bid or Request for
Proposals) resulting in the fixed price subcontract.
b. The Grantee may request approval from the Department to award a
fixed price subcontract resulting from procurement methods other than
those identified in the paragraph above. In this instance, the Grantee shall
request the advance written approval from the Department’s Grant
Manager of the fixed price negotiated by the Grantee. The letter of request
shall be supported by a detailed budget and Scope of Services to be
performed by the subcontractor. Upon receipt of the Department Grant
Manager’s approval of the fixed price amount, the Grantee may proceed in
finalizing the fixed price subcontract.
c. All subcontracts are subject to the provisions of paragraph 13 and
any other appropriate provisions of this Agreement which affect

and fringe benefits).
F. State guidelines for allowable costs can be found in the Department of Financial
Services’ Reference Guide for State Expenditures at
http://www.fldfs.com/aadir/reference%5Fguide.

contingent upon an annual appropriation by the Legislature. The Parties understand that this
Agreement is not a commitment of future appropriations.
5. Progress Reports (Attachment D) shall be submitted quarterly describing the work
performed, problems encountered, problem resolution, schedule updates and proposed work for
the next reporting period. Reports shall be submitted to the Department’s Grant Manager no
later than twenty (20) days following the completion of the reporting period. It is hereby

ending March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. The Final Project Report shall be
submitted no later than the completion date of the Agreement. The Department's Grant Manager
shall have ten (10) calendar days to review the required reports and deliverables submitted by the

Party of its sovereign immunity or the provisions of Section 768.28, Florida Statutes.
8. A. The Department may terminate this Agreement at any time in the event of the
failure of the Grantee to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement. Prior to

intent to terminate and shall provide the Grantee an opportunity to consult with the
Department regarding the reason(s) for termination.
B. The Department may terminate this Agreement for convenience by providing the

submittal of a satisfactory deliverable, at no additional cost to the Department, within ten (10)
days after notification that the deliverable was unsatisfactory. If a satisfactory deliverable is not
submitted within the specified timeframe, the Department may, in its sole discretion, either: 1)
terminate the Agreement for failure to perform, or 2) the Department Grant Manager may, by
letter specifying the failure of performance under the Agreement, request that a proposed

request from the Department. The CAP shall be sent to the Department Grant Manager
for review and approval. Within ten (10) business days of receipt of a CAP, the
Department shall notify the Grantee in writing whether the CAP proposed has been
accepted. If the CAP is not accepted, the Grantee shall have ten (10) business days from
receipt of the Department’s letter rejecting the proposal to submit a revised proposed
CAP. Failure to obtain the Department’s approval of a CAP as specified above shall
result in the Department’s termination of this Agreement for cause as authorized in this
Agreement.
B. Upon the Department’s notice of acceptance of a proposed CAP, the Grantee shall
have ten (10) calendar days to commence implementation of the accepted plan.
Acceptance of the proposed CAP by the Department does not alter or amend the
Grantee’s obligations under this Agreement. If the CAP fails to correct or eliminate
performance deficiencies by the Grantee, the Department shall retain the right to require
additional or further remedial steps, or to terminate this Agreement for failure to perform.
No actions approved by the Department or steps taken by the Grantee shall serve to
condone, forgive or estop the Department from asserting subsequent deficiencies in
performance. The Grantee shall continue to implement the CAP until all deficiencies are
corrected. Reports on the progress of the CAP will be made to the Department as
requested by the Department Grant Manager.
C. Failure to respond to the Department’s request for a CAP or failure to correct a
deficiency in the performance of the Grantee as specified by the Department may result in
termination of this Agreement.
The remedies set forth above are not exclusive and the Department reserves the right to
exercise other remedies in addition to or in lieu of those set forth above.
10. This Agreement may be unilaterally canceled by the Department for refusal by the
Grantee to allow public access to all documents, papers, letters, or other material made or
received by the Grantee in conjunction with this Agreement, unless the records are exempt
pursuant to Section 24(a) of Article I of the State Constitution, Section 119.07(1), Florida
Statutes, or other statute.
11. The Grantee shall maintain books, records and documents directly pertinent to
performance under this Agreement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles

access to such records for audit purposes during the term of this Agreement and for five (5) years
following Agreement completion. If any work is subcontracted, the Grantee shall similarly
require each subcontractor to maintain and allow access to such records for audit purposes.

state) identified in Attachment G, Exhibit 1 when making its determination. For federal
financial assistance, the Grantee shall utilize the guidance provided under OMB Circular
A-133, Subpart B, Section ___.210 for determining whether the relationship represents
that of a subrecipient or vendor. For state financial assistance, the Grantee shall utilize
the form entitled “Checklist for Nonstate Organizations Recipient/Subrecipient vs.
Vendor Determination” (form number DFS-A2-NS) that can be found under the
“Links/Forms” section appearing at the following website:

3.D.(1)b. Regardless of any subcontract, the Grantee is ultimately responsible for all work to be
performed under this Agreement. The Grantee shall submit a copy of the executed subcontract to
the Department within ten (10) business days after execution. The Grantee agrees to be
responsible for the fulfillment of all work elements included in any subcontract and agrees to be
responsible for the payment of all monies due under any subcontract. It is understood and agreed
by the Grantee that the Department shall not be responsible to any subcontractor for any expenses
or costs incurred under the subcontract and that the Grantee shall be solely responsible to the
subcontractor for all expenses and costs incurred under the subcontract.
14. The Department of Environmental Protection supports diversity in its procurement
program and requests that all subcontracting opportunities afforded by this Agreement embrace
diversity enthusiastically. The award of subcontracts should reflect the full diversity of the
citizens of the State of Florida. A list of minority owned firms that could be offered
subcontracting opportunities may be obtained by contacting the Florida Department of
Management Services, Office of Supplier Diversity, at (850) 487-0915.

28. A. The accounting systems for all Grantees must ensure that funds awarded by this
grant are not commingled with funds from other agencies. Funds from each agency must
be accounted for separately. Grantees are prohibited from commingling funds on either a
program-by-program or a project-by-project basis. Funds specifically budgeted and/or
received for one project may not be used to support another project. Where a Grantee's,
or subrecipient's, accounting system cannot comply with this requirement, the Grantee, or
subrecipient, shall establish a system to provide adequate fund accountability for each
project it has been awarded.
B. If the Department finds that these grant funds have been commingled, the
Department shall have the right to demand a refund, either in whole or in part, of the
funds provided to the Grantee under this Agreement for non-compliance with the material
terms of this Agreement. The Grantee, upon such written notification from the
Department shall refund, and shall forthwith pay to the Department, the amount of money
demanded by the Department. Interest on any refund shall be calculated based on the

29. The Grantee is authorized to purchase the land described in Attachment A. All land
acquired under this Agreement shall be used in perpetuity for the purposes described herein. The
following language shall be included on the deed to the property purchased under this
Agreement:
“By acceptance of this deed, Grantee hereby agrees that the use of the property described
herein (the “Property”) shall be subject to the terms and conditions contained in that certain
Grant Award Agreement (DEP Agreement No. LP46042, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1
and by reference made a part hereof (hereinafter referred to as the “Restrictive Covenants”).
These Restrictive Covenants shall run with the title to the Property in perpetuity and be binding
upon Grantee and all successive owners (and all parties claiming by, through and under the
owners) of the Property. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection shall be deemed a
third party beneficiary of these Restrictive Covenants in a court of competent jurisdiction. The
Department shall have the authority to enforce these Restrictive Covenants in any judicial
proceeding seeking any remedy recognizable at law or in equity, including an action or lawsuit
seeking damages, injunction, specific performance, or any other form of relief, against any
person, firm or entity violating or attempting to violate any of these Restrictive Covenants. The
failure by the Department to enforce any covenant or restriction contained herein shall in no
event be deemed a waiver of such covenant or restriction or of the right of the Department to
thereafter enforce such covenant or restriction. The invalidation of any one of the provisions of
these Restrictive Covenants by a court of competent jurisdiction shall in no way affect any of the

PROJECT WORK PLAN
OKALOOSA COUNTY
LP46042
Project Title: Okaloosa Island Water Supply Project
Project Location Okaloosa Island, Okaloosa County, FL
Project Background: Okaloosa County Water and Sewer (OCWS) installed a water supply
main in 2001 to replace an older water main that provided potable water to the residents and
businesses located on Okaloosa Island (Island), a tourist community located just east of Fort
Walton Beach, Florida. The older 16-inch ductile iron water main, which is suspended along the
side of Brooks Bridge, is exhibiting signs of significant deterioration and is vulnerable to
hurricanes and damage from other external forces. The newer main was installed as a
subaqueous horizontal directional drill (HDD) that extends from the mainland to the island as it
crosses under the Santa Rosa Sound (Sound). The length of the subaqueous segment of the main
is approximately 1,400 feet. Once the new main was placed into operation, the older main was
taken out of service but left in place as a back-up as long as the deterioration did not become too
extensive.
In 2006, the County discovered a leak in the newer main and immediately took it offline. The
original main was placed back into service because it was the only alternative for maintaining
water service to Okaloosa Island. Through a series of complicated inspections, the County
discovered that the newer main was torn at a location approximately half way across the Santa
Rosa Sound and over 70 feet below the bottom of the Sound. The tear, which ranged from
approximately ¼ inch to 1 inch wide, extended from the 3 o'clock position to the 9 o'clock
position on the pipe.
The County began formulating and implementing a plan in an attempt to repair the main
immediately after accumulating the applicable data and assessing the extent of the damage. The
County had initially pursued repairing the main, but was unsuccessful because of the difficult
access to the tear, the accumulation of sand through the tear, and the difficulty of repairing the
leak while maintaining the service to island. The County decided that the most feasible
alternative for providing a long-term, reliable source of potable water to the island is to replace
the main with a new subaqueous pipe.
Project Description: The proposed replacement main is anticipated to consist of approximately
3,800 linear feet of 20-inch diameter, high density polyethylene pipe installed below the Sound
and on the Island via directional bore. Because easements have not yet been obtained and final
alignment is not known, the approximate linear foot, diameter, and type of pipe is subject to
change.

Contract Payment Requirements
Florida Department of Financial Services, Reference Guide for State Expenditures
Cost Reimbursement Contracts
Invoices for cost reimbursement contracts must be supported by an itemized listing of expenditures by category
(salary, travel, expenses, etc.). Supporting documentation must be provided for each amount for which reimbursement
is being claimed indicating that the item has been paid. Check numbers may be provided in lieu of copies of actual
checks. Each piece of documentation should clearly reflect the dates of service. Only expenditures for categories in
the approved contract budget should be reimbursed.
Listed below are examples of the types of documentation representing the minimum requirements:
(1) Salaries: A payroll register or similar documentation should be submitted. The payroll register
should show gross salary charges, fringe benefits, other deductions and net pay. If an
individual for whom reimbursement is being claimed is paid by the hour, a document
reflecting the hours worked times the rate of pay will be acceptable.
(2) Fringe Benefits: Fringe Benefits should be supported by invoices showing the amount paid on behalf of the
employee (e.g., insurance premiums paid). If the contract specifically states that fringe
benefits will be based on a specified percentage rather than the actual cost of fringe
benefits, then the calculation for the fringe benefits amount must be shown.
Exception: Governmental entities are not required to provide check numbers or copies
of checks for fringe benefits.
(3) Travel: Reimbursement for travel must be in accordance with Section 112.061, Florida Statutes,
which includes submission of the claim on the approved State travel voucher or electronic
means.
(4) Other direct costs: Reimbursement will be made based on paid invoices/receipts. If nonexpendable property
is purchased using State funds, the contract should include a provision for the transfer of
the property to the State when services are terminated. Documentation must be provided
to show compliance with Department of Management Services Rule 60A-1.017, Florida
Administrative Code, regarding the requirements for contracts which include services and
that provide for the contractor to purchase tangible personal property as defined in Section
273.02, Florida Statutes, for subsequent transfer to the State.
(5) In-house charges: Charges which may be of an internal nature (e.g., postage, copies, etc.) may be reimbursed
on a usage log which shows the units times the rate being charged. The rates must be
reasonable.
(6) Indirect costs: If the contract specifies that indirect costs will be paid based on a specified rate, then the
calculation should be shown.
Contracts between state agencies, and or contracts between universities may submit alternative documentation to
substantiate the reimbursement request that may be in the form of FLAIR reports or other detailed reports.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: November 4, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Jeff Littrell
SUBJECT: Eglin Wastewater Treatment Contract Modification for Delivery Dates
DEPARTMENT: Water and Sewer
BCC DISTRICT: 3
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: OCWS staff is requesting approval from the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) for the execution of a sixth contract modification with Eglin Air Force
Base for delivery date extensions related to construction work and Capacity Expansion Charges
(CECs) for Eglin AFB's wastewater at Camp Rudder. Attached for your review is both the
modification itself and the completed County Contract Review Coordination Sheet.
BACKGROUND: In September 2011, Okaloosa County went under contract (FA2823-11-C-
0030; County Contract No. C11-1906-WS) with the U.S. Air Force for the construction of the
Duke Field wastewater infrastructure. The contract was modified in August 2012 to add the
following: CECs for Duke Field, construction costs for Main Base wastewater infrastructure,
CECs for Main Base, construction costs for Camp Rudder wastewater infrastructure, and CECs
for Camp Rudder. The total contract is now $16,699,568; of that, $8,026,192 is reimbursement
of design and construction costs, and $8,673,376 is for CECs.
A third contract modification was executed in April 2013 for flow charges (AKA monthly billing
rates) related to transmitting, treating, and disposing of Eglin AFB's wastewater at Duke Field,
Main Base, and Camp Rudder. No money was assigned to this modification.
A fourth contract modification was executed in June 2013 to correct several administrative
oversights pertaining to miscalculated delivery dates, payment methods, and verbiage of Eglin's
internal processes. No money was assigned to this modification.
A fifth contract modification was executed in December 2013 to extend the delivery dates for the
construction work and CECs for Phase II (Eglin Main Connections) and Phase III (Camp Rudder
Connections) by an additional 8 months due to government delays. The modification only
extends delivery dates, and had no effect on financial terms.
Eglin AFB would now like to execute a sixth contract modification to extend the delivery dates
for the construction work and CECs for Phase III (Camp Rudder Connections) by an additional 6
months due to government delays. The modification only extends delivery dates, and has no
effect on financial terms.
OPTIONS: Approve or deny.
Packet Pg. 690
RECOMMENDATIONS: OCWS staff recommends approval by the BCC to authorize the
Chairman to execute the sixth contract modification to the Eglin Wastewater Treatment Re-
configuration contract (FA2823-11-C-0030) for the delivery date extensions associated with
construction work and CECs for Camp Rudder.

SUBJECT: FY14 SMP Revision
DEPARTMENT: Tourist Development Department
BCC DISTRICT:
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Pursuant to Section D.200(2) of the Tourist Development
Department Operations and Procedures Manual, all advertising/marketing expenditures made
during the fiscal year shall be in conformity with the approved Strategic Marketing Plan.
BACKGROUND: The adopted FY 2013-14 Strategic Marketing Plan (SMP) provides for
digital outdoor advertising in 3 metro markets for the Christmas season. However, digital
outdoor advertising was conducted earlier than scheduled and ran the Fall campaign in order to
capitalize on a successful summer season and improve fall seasonal occupancy rather than
waiting until Christmas. The Strategic Marketing Plan must be revised in the form of a
Resolution to reflect this change.
This change is evidenced in red font on page 5 of the attached FY 2013-14 Consolidated
Strategic Marketing Plan - Revised.
The Tourist Development Council reviewed the revised SMP and voted to recommend approval
at its October 23, 2014 meeting.
OPTIONS: Approve or Disapprove
RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution 2014-__ adopting the Okaloosa County Tourist
Development Department FY 2013-14 Consolidated Strategic Marketing Plan - Revised; a copy
of which is attached.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: November 4, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Ed Schroeder
SUBJECT: FY15 SMP Update
DEPARTMENT: Tourist Development Department
BCC DISTRICT:
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Pursuant to Section D.200(2) of the Tourist Development
Department Operations and Procedures Manual, the Strategic Marketing Plan (SMP) sets forth
the proposed marketing activities and expenditures for the year.
BACKGROUND: Actual partner participation in the co-op program is less than anticipated in
the SMP adopted by the Board on August 19. Several co-op opportunities are not being pursued
due to lack of partner interest, and the agency has proposed alternatives. These changes result in
a minor net decrease to co-op program costs.
The Tourist Development Council reviewed this SMP co-op program update and voted to
recommend approval at its October 23, 2014 meeting.
Peter Mayer Task Order 150, which authorizes the advertising agency to purchase media under
the co-op program, is currently being revised and will be presented on November 18.
OPTIONS: Approve or Disapprove
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the following:
1) Elimination of Collinson Media (print), Rachael Ray/More (print), International Travel
Guide (print), and Southern Living (digital) from the co-op program.
2) Addition of Fall Travel to the Southeast (print/digital) and Southwest Spirit (print) to the co-
op-program.
3) Staff to present amendment of the SMP in the form of a resolution on a quarterly basis to
memorialize changes.

AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: November 4, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Ed Schroeder
SUBJECT: Non-Deployment of the Tenneco
DEPARTMENT: Tourist Development Department
BCC DISTRICT:
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request cancelling the deployment of the Tenneco vessel as an
artificial reef to avoid the risks of towing and deploying an aging vessel of questionable
structural integrity.
BACKGROUND: The Tenneco is a concrete hulled vessel constructed in St. Marks, FL in
1942. The TDC allocated $75K for deployment of the Tenneco vessel as an artificial reef to
serve as a dive certification platform on May 30, 2013. The BCC approved the acquisition of the
Tenneco on June 18, 2013 pending certain conditions being met.
The permit for the Tenneco deployment area has been approved by the FDEP, but it is still
pending USACE approval. It is unknown when the County will receive USACE approval for
Fish Haven 19. A positive HazMat inspection has been received from SCS Engineering, and a
positive Coast Guard inspection has been completed. The approved/awarded marine contractor’s
insurance should provide coverage during transport of the vessel, but the County will need to
provide coverage once the vessel is docked.
Before the Tenneco can be deployed as artificial reef material, it will need to be completely
cleaned and stripped of all wooden materials, tanks, and hazardous materials. Very little of the
original deck structure (structures that visually define it as a vessel) will remain intact. The
Tenneco will essentially be a cigar shaped concrete hull resting in approximately 60 feet of
water. The logistics for prepping the vessel for deployment will include the coordination of
volunteer groups to perform the work, dumpsters and barrels for the disposal of waste oils, fuel,
and other hazardous materials, and heavy equipment may be required to efficiently deconstruct
the entire upper wooden deck area. The Tenneco is currently moored in Bayou Chico, directly
adjacent to the Barrancas Ave Bridge and Pelican’s Perch Marina. Unless a safe harbor can be
found within Okaloosa County, the Tenneco will need to be cleaned and prepped for deployment
in Pensacola. Preparation of the Tenneco has not been yet begun, but it will take a significant
effort and may present Okaloosa County with additional liabilities. In addition, the marine
contractor that removed the vessel from the Pelican’s Perch Marina berth pointed out that they
felt that the vessel was “a little fragile” and stated that they used great caution when they pulled
it away from the dock and off of the bottom where it had been resting for approximately 30
years. The Pelican’s Perch Marina is under pressure from the FDEP to dispose of the Tenneco as
a condition of their submerged land lease renewal, and Okaloosa County TDD was recently
contacted for support regarding the FDEP’s requirement to remove the vessel from Bayou Chico.
The FY 2014-15 budget includes $75,000 for Boat Reef (account 1175-563753). Staff requests
the Tenneco deployment no longer be pursued due to logistical, liability, and financial concerns.
Packet Pg. 724
The budgeted funds will be better spent on deploying donated concrete materials from Eglin
AFB or another structure to serve as a dive certification platform.
The Tourist Development Council voted to recommend cancelling the Tenneco deployment at its
October 23, 2014 meeting.
OPTIONS: Approve or Disapprove
RECOMMENDATION: Approve cancelling deployment of the Tenneco vessel as an artificial
reef.

SUBJECT: Waste Management Contract Amendment
DEPARTMENT: Tourist Development Department
BCC DISTRICT:
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request Board approval for Waste Management contract
amendment to be retroactive to July 1, 2014.
BACKGROUND: The County is currently in a 36-month contract for dumpster service at the
Emerald Coast Convention Center. In accordance with the “Customer Comments” on page 2 of
4 of WM Agreement # S0003339246, “Rate guarantee for one year excluding disposal price
increases. Then cap rate increase in years 2 & 3 to no more than 3%, excluding disposal.”
Waste Management invoiced a 3% increase to the haul rate and disposal rate effective 7/1/14
(the start of year 2). However, the contract must first be amended to reflect the change in price.
Legal and Purchasing have reviewed the contract amendment to memorialize the rate increase,
and the amendment falls within the signature authority of the Purchasing Manager. Board
approval is being requested since the contract amendment date is retroactive to July 1, 2014.
OPTIONS: Approve or Disapprove
RECOMMENDATION: Approve making Amendment 1 to Waste Management contract C03-

TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Rick Owen
SUBJECT: Bond Resolution and Authorization
DEPARTMENT: County Administrator
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: After presentation by Mark Galvin, First Southwest Company,
Mark Mustian, Nabors, Giblin and Nickerson, P.A., the Board is asked to consider and approve:
1. A Resolution amending Resolution No. 09-190 providing that the Debt Service Reserve
Account on any future series of bonds be zero.
2 Supplemental Resolution delegating to the Chairman of the Board of County
Commissioners and the County Administrator the authorization to determine final
structure within certain established parameters.
BACKGROUND: On September 16, 2014 the Board of County Commissioners authorized Staff
and the County’s Financial Advisor, Mark Galvin of FirstSouthwest Company to move forward
with a 20 year bond issue to fund the construction plan of the Administrative Complex in
Shalimar, and an RFQ for design/build contractor for the Crestview Courthouse renovation.
Additionally, the Board gave direction on the construction of new building adjacent to the
Sheriff's Office. Since then, staff has worked with various contractors on the three projects to
the best cost estimate. Concurrently, the County Administrator, legal team, Clerk of Courts
Finance Director, and other staff members and the County’s bond underwriters (RBC Capital
Markets and Crews and Associates) have worked with County’s financial advisor and bond
counsel in preparing the necessary documents including drafts of the preliminary official
Statement and amending bond resolution. The County as part of this process had their AA rating
from Standard and Poor’s affirmed and an upgrade bond rating from Fitch Rating Services From
A+ to AA- in addition to securing bond insurance commitment from America Mutual. Approval
of the Resolution will allow for the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners and the
County Administrator the authorization to determine final structure within certain established
parameters.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of the resolutions as presented which
authorizes the Chairman to execute all appropriate documents on behalf of the County to
complete the issuance of not to exceed amount of $25 million and to award the sale of the bonds
to the underwriters based on the not to exceed parameters as set forth in the resolution and with
the recommendations of the Financial Advisor.

Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services
Terms and Conditions Applicable To Public Finance Credit Ratings
General. The credit ratings and other views of Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“Ratings Services”) are statements of
opinion and not statements of fact. Credit ratings and other views of Ratings Services are not recommendations to
purchase, hold, or sell any securities and do not comment on market price, marketability, investor preference or
suitability of any security. While Ratings Services bases its credit ratings and other views on information provided by
issuers and their agents and advisors, and other information from sources it believes to be reliable, Ratings Services does
not perform an audit, and undertakes no duty of due diligence or independent verification, of any information it receives.
Such information and Ratings Services’ opinions should not be relied upon in making any investment decision. Ratings
Services does not act as a “fiduciary” or an investment advisor. Ratings Services neither recommends nor will
recommend how an issuer can or should achieve a particular credit rating outcome nor provides or will provide
consulting, advisory, financial or structuring advice. Unless otherwise indicated, the term “issuer” means both the issuer
and the obligor if the obligor is not the issuer.
All Credit Rating Actions in Ratings Services’ Sole Discretion. Ratings Services may assign, raise, lower, suspend, place
on CreditWatch, or withdraw a credit rating, and assign or revise an Outlook, at any time, in Ratings Services’ sole
discretion. Ratings Services may take any of the foregoing actions notwithstanding any request for a confidential or
private credit rating or a withdrawal of a credit rating, or termination of a credit rating engagement. Ratings Services will
not convert a public credit rating to a confidential or private credit rating, or a private credit rating to a confidential credit
rating.
Publication. Ratings Services reserves the right to use, publish, disseminate, or license others to use, publish or
disseminate a credit rating and any related analytical reports, including the rationale for the credit rating, unless the
issuer specifically requests in connection with the initial credit rating that the credit rating be assigned and maintained
on a confidential or private basis. If, however, a confidential or private credit rating or the existence of a confidential
or private credit rating subsequently becomes public through disclosure other than by an act of Ratings Services or its
affiliates, Ratings Services reserves the right to treat the credit rating as a public credit rating, including, without
limitation, publishing the credit rating and any related analytical reports. Any analytical reports published by Ratings
Services are not issued by or on behalf of the issuer or at the issuer’s request. Ratings Services reserves the right to
use, publish, disseminate or license others to use, publish or disseminate analytical reports with respect to public credit
ratings that have been withdrawn, regardless of the reason for such withdrawal. Ratings Services may publish
explanations of Ratings Services’ credit ratings criteria from time to time and Ratings Services may modify or refine
its credit ratings criteria at any time as Ratings Services deems appropriate.

for the Series 2014 Bonds is Hancock Bank, Orlando, Florida. The Series 2014 Bonds
will be subject to redemption as described under "DESCRIPTION OF THE SERIES
2014 BONDS -- Redemption Provisions" herein.
The Series 2014 Bonds will bear a Certificate of Authentication to be manually
executed by the Registrar, and no Series 2014 Bond will be valid or obligatory for any
purpose unless the Certificate of Authentication thereon has been duly executed by the
Registrar.
Book-Entry Only System
The information provided immediately below concerning DTC and the Book-
Entry Only System has been obtained from DTC and is not guaranteed as to accuracy
or completeness by, and is not to be construed as a representation by, the
Underwriter, the County or the Paying Agent.
Unless the book-entry system described herein is terminated, DTC will act as
securities depository for the Series 2014 Bonds. The Series 2014 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 or more fully-registered bond certificates will be issued for the Series 2014
Bonds, and will be deposited with the Paying Agent on behalf of DTC. Individual
purchases of beneficial interests in the Series 2014 Bonds will be made in increments
of $5,000 or integral multiples thereof.
DTC and its Participants. DTC, the world's largest securities 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
4
Packet Pg. 844
the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-
U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market
instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC's participants ("Direct Participants")
deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates 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 is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing
Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered
clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. 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 a Standard & Poor's Rating of AA+. The
DTC Rules applicable to its Direct and Indirect Participants are on file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at
www.dtcc.com. The contents of such website do not constitute a part of this Official
Statement.
Purchases. Purchases of the Series 2014 Bonds under the DTC system must be
made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Series 2014
Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each
Series 2014 Bond ("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 purchases. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive
written confirmations providing details of the transactions, as well as periodic
statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participants through which the
Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the
Series 2014 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 the Bonds, except in
the event that use of the book-entry system for the Series 2014 Bonds is discontinued.
Transfers. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Series 2014 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 the Series 2014 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
5
Packet Pg. 845
Owners of the Series 2014 Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct
Participants to whose accounts such Series 2014 Bonds are credited, which may or
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.
Notices. 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. Beneficial Owners of the Series 2014 Bonds may wish to take
certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with
respect to the Series 2014 Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed
amendments to the Bond documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Series 2014
Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Series 2014 Bonds for their
benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the
alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the
Paying Agent and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.
Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Series 2014
Bonds within an issue are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the
amount of the 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 the Series 2014 Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in
accordance with DTC's procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an
Omnibus Proxy to the issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus
Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to
whose accounts the Series 2014 Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a
listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
NEITHER THE COUNTY NOR THE PAYING AGENT WILL HAVE ANY
RESPONSIBILITY OR OBLIGATION TO SUCH PARTICIPANTS OR THE
PERSONS FOR WHOM THEY ACT AS NOMINEES WITH RESPECT TO THE
PAYMENTS TO OR THE PROVIDING OF NOTICE FOR THE DTC
PARTICIPANTS, THE INDIRECT PARTICIPANTS OR THE BENEFICIAL
OWNERS OF THE SERIES 2014 BONDS. THE CITY CANNOT PROVIDE ANY
ASSURANCE THAT DTC, DIRECT PARTICIPANTS OR OTHERS WILL
DISTRIBUTE PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL OF, PREMIUM, IF ANY, OR
INTEREST ON THE SERIES 2014 BONDS PAID TO DTC OR ITS NOMINEE, AS
THE REGISTERED OWNER, OR ANY NOTICES TO THE BENEFICIAL
OWNERS OR THAT THEY WILL DO SO ON A TIMELY BASIS, OR THAT DTC
WILL ACT IN THE MANNER DESCRIBED IN THIS OFFICIAL STATEMENT.

Payments. Payments on the Series 2014 Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or
such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC.
DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds
and corresponding detail information from the Paying Agent on the relevant 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, the Paying Agent or the County, subject to any statutory
or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment to Cede &
Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of
DTC) is the responsibility of 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.
Discontinuance of Book-Entry-Only System. DTC may discontinue providing
its services as depository with respect to the Series 2014 Bonds at any time by giving
reasonable notice to the County or the Paying Agent. Under such circumstances, in
the event that a successor depository is not obtained, certificated Series 2014 Bonds
are required to be printed and delivered to the holders of record.
The County may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only
transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository) with respect to the Series
2014 Bonds. Under current industry practices, however, DTC would notify its Direct
or Indirect Participants of the County's decision but will only withdraw beneficial
interests from a Series 2014 Bond at the request of any Direct or Indirect Participant.
In that event, certificates for the Series 2014 Bonds will be printed and delivered.
No Assurance Regarding DTC Practices
The foregoing information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-
entry system has been obtained from sources that the County believes to be reliable,
but the County, the Underwriter and the Paying Agent take no responsibility for the
accuracy thereof.
So long as Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Series 2014 Bonds as
nominee of DTC, references herein to the holders or registered owners of the Series
2014 Bonds will mean Cede & Co. and will not mean the Beneficial Owners of the
Series 2014 Bonds.
None of the County, the Paying Agent or the Underwriter will have any
responsibility or obligation to the Participants, DTC or the persons for whom they act
7
Packet Pg. 847
with respect to (i) the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC or by any Direct or
Indirect Participant of DTC, (ii) payments or the providing of notice to the Direct
Participants, the Indirect Participants or the Beneficial Owners, (iii) the selection by
DTC or by any Direct or Indirect Participant of any Beneficial Owner to receive
payment in the event of a partial redemption of the Series 2014 Bonds or (iv) any other
action taken by DTC or its partnership nominee as owner of the Series 2014 Bonds.
Registration, Transfer and Exchange
The Series 2014 Bonds will be and have all the qualities and incidents of
negotiable instruments under the Uniform Commercial Code - Investment Securities
Laws of the State of Florida, subject to the DTC Book-Entry Only System and to the
provisions for registration, exchange and transfer contained in the Resolution and in
the Series 2014 Bonds. The Series 2014 Bonds will be transferable only upon the
registration books maintained for such purpose at the corporate trust office of the
Registrar. So long as any of the Series 2014 Bonds remain outstanding, the Registrar
must maintain and keep books for the registration of the Series 2014 Bonds.
All Series 2014 Bonds presented for transfer, exchange, or payment (if so
required by the County or the Registrar) must be accompanied by a written instrument
or instruments of transfer or authorization for exchange, in form and with guaranty of
signature satisfactory to the County or the Registrar, duly executed by the Registered
Owner or by his or her duly authorized attorney.
The Registrar or the County may require payment from the Registered Owner
or transferee of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, fee or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any exchange or transfer of the Series 2014
Bonds. Such charges and expenses shall be paid before any new Series 2014 Bonds
shall be delivered.
The Registrar is not required to issue, transfer or exchange any Series 2014
Bonds between the Record Date and the relative Interest Payment Date on such Series
2014 Bonds or, in the case of any proposed redemption of Bonds, after any such Series
2014 Bonds or any portion thereof has been selected for redemption.
New Series 2014 Bonds delivered upon any transfer or exchange will be valid
obligations of the County, evidencing the same debt as the Series 2014 Bonds
surrendered, will be secured by the Resolution, and will be entitled to all of the
security and benefits of the Resolution to the same extent as the Series 2014 Bonds
surrendered.
8
Packet Pg. 848
The County and the Registrar may treat the Registered Owner of any Series
2014 Bond as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, whether or not such Series
2014 Bond is overdue, and will not be bound by any notice to the contrary.

Registrar) notify the Registrar of such redemption date and of the principal amount of
Series 2014 Bonds to be redeemed. For purposes of any redemption of less than all of
the outstanding Series 2014 Bonds of a single maturity, the particular Series 2014

Registrar is not the Paying Agent for such Bonds) in writing of the Series 2014 Bonds
or portions of Series 2014 Bonds selected for redemption and, in the case of any Series
2014 Bond selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be

given by the Registrar on behalf of the County, and (A) shall be filed with the Paying
Agent for such Series 2014 Bonds, and (B) shall be mailed first class, postage prepaid,

certificate number (and, in the case of a partial redemption of any Series 2014 Bond,
the principal amount) of each Series 2014 Bond to be redeemed; (8) that on such
redemption date there shall become due and payable upon each Series 2014 Bond to
be redeemed the redemption price thereof, or the redemption price of the specified
portions of the principal thereof in the case of Series 2014 Bonds to be redeemed in
part only, together with interest accrued thereon to the redemption date, and that from

designated by the Paying Agent to be responsible for such redemption.
Within 60 days of the date of redemption, the Paying Agent shall give a second
notice of redemption by mailing another copy of the redemption notice to the Holders
of Bonds called for redemption but which have not been presented for payment within
30 days after the date set for redemption.
In addition to the mailing of the notice described above, each notice of
redemption and payment of the Redemption Price shall meet the following
requirements; provided, however, the failure to provide such further notice of
redemption or to comply with the terms of this paragraph shall not in any manner
defeat the effectiveness of a call for redemption if notice thereof is given as prescribed
above.
(a) Each further notice of redemption shall be sent by certified mail or
overnight delivery service or telecopy to all registered securities depositories then in
the business of holding substantial amounts of obligations of types comprising the
Bonds and to two or more national information services which disseminate notices of
prepayment or redemption of obligations such as the Bonds.
(b) Each further notice of redemption shall be sent to such other Person, if
any, as shall be required by applicable law or regulation.
The County may provide that a notice of redemption may be contingent upon
the occurrence of certain condition(s) and that if such condition(s) do not occur the
notice will be rescinded, provided notice of rescission shall be mailed in the manner
described above to all affected Bondholders not later than three Business Days after
the Issuer determines that such conditions will not be satisfied.
Any Series 2014 Bond which is to be redeemed only in part shall be
surrendered at any place of payment specified in the notice of redemption (with due
endorsement by, or written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar
duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and
the County shall execute and the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder
of such Series 2014 Bond, without service charge, a new Series 2014 Bond or Series
2014 Bonds, of the same interest rate and maturity, and of any authorized
denomination as requested by such Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to
and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Series 2014 Bonds
so surrendered.
Notice of redemption having been given substantially as aforesaid, the Series
2014 Bonds or portions of Series 2014 Bonds so to be redeemed shall, on the
11
Packet Pg. 851
redemption date, become due and payable at the redemption price therein specified,
and from and after such date (unless the County shall default in the payment of the
redemption price) such Series 2014 Bonds or portions of Series 2014 Bonds shall
cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of such Series 2014 Bonds for redemption in
accordance with said notice, such Series 2014 Bonds shall be paid by the Registrar
and/or Paying Agent at the appropriate redemption price, plus accrued interest. All
Series 2014 Bonds which have been redeemed shall be cancelled by the Registrar and
shall not be reissued.
SOURCES OF AND SECURITY FOR PAYMENT OF THE
SERIES 2014 BONDS
General
The principal of, premium if any, and interest on the Series 2014 Bonds will be
payable from and will be secured solely by a lien upon and a pledge of (i) the Sales
Tax Revenues, and (ii), until applied in accordance with the provisions of the
Resolution, all moneys, including investments thereof, in the funds and accounts
established under the Resolution other than the Rebate Fund (collectively, the
"Pledged Funds"). The Series 2014 Bonds are secured by the Pledged Funds on a
parity with the County's Sales Tax Revenue Bonds, Series 2009A and Taxable Sales
Tax Revenue Bonds, Series 2009B (Direct Payment Build America Bonds)
(collectively, the "Series 2009 Bonds"), which are currently outstanding in the
aggregate principal amount of $________. The Series 2014 Bonds, Series 2009 Bonds
and any Additional Bonds issued pursuant to the Resolution are collectively referred to
herein as the "Bonds".
The Series 2009B Bonds were issued as "Build America Bonds," whereby the
United States Government is to provide a federal subsidy payment to the County on a
semi-annual basis with respect to the Series 2009B Bonds. For purposes of issuing
Additional Bonds (including the Series 2014 Bonds) and computing the Reserve
Account Requirement, the Resolution provides that such federal subsidy payments
shall be computed net of the federal payments. Set forth below is a table showing the
amount of Federal Direct Payments received by the County in fiscal years 2010-2014:

2013 465,000.38
2014 451,145.14
*Due to federal sequestration, the County did not receive the full amount of expected
federal subsidy payments in fiscal years 2013 or 2014.
Limited Obligations
THE PRINCIPAL OF, PREMIUM IF ANY, AND INTEREST ON THE
SERIES 2014 BONDS WILL NOT BE OR CONSTITUTE A GENERAL
INDEBTEDNESS OF THE COUNTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY
CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY PROVISION OR LIMITATION, AND THE
COUNTY IS NOT OBLIGATED TO LEVY ANY AD VALOREM TAXES FOR
THE PAYMENT THEREOF. NEITHER THE FULL FAITH AND CREDIT NOR
THE AD VALOREM TAXING POWER OF THE COUNTY, THE STATE OF
FLORIDA OR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OR AGENCY THEREOF IS
PLEDGED TO SUCH PAYMENT, AND NO OWNER OF ANY SERIES 2014
BOND SHALL EVER HAVE THE RIGHT TO COMPEL THE EXERCISE OF THE
AD VALOREM TAXING POWER OF THE COUNTY OR TAXATION IN ANY
FORM ON ANY REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY TO PAY THE PRINCIPAL
OF, PREMIUM, IF ANY, AND INTEREST ON SUCH SERIES 2014 BOND, OR
BE ENTITLED TO PAYMENT THEREOF FROM ANY MONEYS OF THE
COUNTY EXCEPT FROM THE PLEDGED FUNDS IN THE MANNER AND TO
THE EXTENT PROVIDED IN THE RESOLUTION. THE PRINCIPAL OF,
PREMIUM, IF ANY, AND INTEREST ON THE SERIES 2014 BONDS DO NOT
CONSTITUTE A LIEN UPON ANY PROPERTY OF OR IN THE COUNTY,
OTHER THAN THE PLEDGED FUNDS, IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN THE
RESOLUTION.
Establishment of Funds and Accounts
The Resolution establishes several funds and accounts, including a Revenue
Fund, a Debt Service Fund, a Payment Account and a Reserve Account within the
Debt Service Fund, and a Rebate Fund. The Reserve Account will not secure the
Series 2014 Bonds. Moneys in these funds and accounts, other than the Rebate Fund,
until applied in accordance with the provisions of the Resolution, will be subject to a
lien and charge in favor of the Holders of the Series 2014 Bonds and for the further
security of such Holders, all as provided in the Resolution.
13
Packet Pg. 853
The moneys required to be accounted for in each of the funds and accounts
established under the Resolution may be deposited in a single bank account, and funds
allocated to such funds and accounts may be invested in a common investment pool,
provided that adequate accounting records are maintained to reflect and control the
restricted allocation of the moneys on deposit therein and such investments for the
various purposes of such funds and accounts.
The designation and establishment of the various funds and accounts by the
Resolution does not require the establishment of any completely independent, self-
balancing funds as such term is commonly defined and used in governmental
accounting, but rather is intended solely to constitute an earmarking of certain
revenues for certain purposes and to establish certain priorities for application of such
revenues as herein provided.
Application of Pledged Funds
Debt Service Fund. The Resolution requires the County to, within two
Business Days after receipt thereof, deposit into the Revenue Fund all Sales Tax
Revenues. On or before the last day of each month, subject to the credits provided for
in the Resolution, the County shall deposit to the Payment Account in the Debt
Service Fund such sums as are necessary to pay the principal and interest coming due
on the Bonds in the current calendar month if such interest and principal amounts were
deemed to accrue monthly (assuming that a year consists of twelve (12) equivalent
calendar months having thirty (30) days each). Commencing in the month which is
one year prior to the first Amortization Installment, there shall be deposited or credited
to the Payment Account the sum which, together with the balance in such account,
shall equal the Amortization Installment on all Term Bonds outstanding due and
unpaid and that portion of the Amortization Installments of all Term Bonds
outstanding next due which would have accrued on such Term Bonds during the then
calendar month if such Amortization Installments were deemed to accrue monthly
(assuming that a year consists of twelve (12) equivalent calendar months having thirty
(30) days each) in equal amounts the next preceding Amortization Installment due
date, or, if there is no such preceding Amortization Installment due date, from a date
one year preceding the due date of such Amortization Installment. All Hedge Receipts
and Direct Payments, if any, shall be deposited directly to the Payment Account upon
receipt.
Moneys in the Payment Account shall be used (a) to pay interest, principal and
Amortization Installments on all outstanding Bonds, on a pro-rata basis, as and when
the same become due, whether by redemption or otherwise, and (b) for Hedge
Payments, and for other purposes. The County shall adjust the amount of the deposit
into the Payment Account not later than the month immediately preceding any Interest
Payment ate so as to provide sufficient moneys in the Payment Account to pay the
14
Packet Pg. 854
interest, principal and Amortization Installments on the Bonds coming due on such
Interest Payment Date. No further deposit needs be made to the Interest Account
when the moneys therein are equal to the interest coming due on the Outstanding
Bonds on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. With respect to debt service on
any Bonds which are subject to a Qualified Hedge Agreement, any Hedge Payments
due to the Qualified Hedge Agreement Counterparty relating to such Bonds shall be
paid to the Qualified Hedge Agreement Counterparty on a parity basis with the
aforesaid required payments into the Payment Account.
In computing the interest on Variable Rate Bonds which shall accrue during a
calendar month, the interest rate on such Variable Rate Bonds shall be assumed to be
120% of the average of the SIFMA Index over a 12 month period of time ending on
the date immediately prior to the commencement of such calendar month.
Amounts accumulated in the Payment Account with respect to any
Amortization Installment (together with amounts accumulated in the Payment Account
with respect to interest, if any, on the Term Bonds for which such Amortization
Installment was established) may be applied by the County, on or prior to the sixtieth
(60th) day preceding the due date of such Amortization Installment, (a) to the purchase
of Term Bonds of the series and maturity for which such Amortization Installment was
established, or (b) to the redemption at the applicable redemption prices of such Term
Bonds, if then redeemable by their terms. The Bonds so purchased or redeemed shall
be deemed to constitute part of the Payment Account until such Amortization
Installment date, for the purposes of calculating the amount of such Account. As soon
as practicable after the sixtieth (60) day preceding the due date of any such
Amortization Installment, the County shall proceed to call for redemption on such due
date, by causing notice to be given as provided in the Resolution, Term Bonds of the
series and maturity for which such Amortization Installment was established (except
in the case of Term Bonds maturing on an Amortization Installment date) in such
amount as shall be necessary to complete the retirement of the unsatisfied balance of
such Amortization Installment. The County shall pay out of the Payment Account to
the Paying Agent, on or before the day preceding such redemption date (or maturity
date), the amount required for the redemption (or for the payment of such Term Bonds
then maturing), and such amount shall be applied by such Paying Agent to such
redemption (or payment). All expenses in connection with the purchase or redemption
of Term Bonds shall be paid by the County from the Revenue Fund.
Reserve Account. The County shall establish within the Reserve Account a
separate subaccount for each series of Bonds issued under the Resolution, except as
described below. The Reserve Account Requirement for the Series 2014 Bonds is
zero, and the Reserve Account does not secure the Series 2014 Bonds. The Series
2009 Bonds are secured by a subaccount of the Reserve Account.
15
Packet Pg. 855
At the option of the County, a subaccount may secure more than one series of
Bonds. The moneys on deposit in each such subaccount shall be applied solely for the
payment of maturing principal of, redemption price, if applicable (provided that the
Reserve Account may only be applied to the payment of redemption price if all Bonds
will be redeemed), or interest or Amortization Installments on the series of Bonds for
which it is designated and shall not be available to pay debt service on any other
series.
There shall be deposited to each subaccount of the Reserve Account such sum,
if any, as will be necessary to immediately restore any funds on deposit in each such
subaccount to an amount equal to the Reserve Account Requirement applicable thereto
including the reinstatement of any Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve
Account Letter of Credit on deposit therein; provided, in no event shall the amount
deposited in the subaccounts of the applicable Reserve Account be less than (a) one
fourth (1/4) of the amount which would enable the County to restore the funds on
deposit in each subaccount to an amount equal to the Reserve Account Requirement in
four (4) months from the date of such shortfall in the event such shortfall is a result of
a decrease in the market value of Authorized Investments on deposit therein, or (b)
one twelfth (1/12) of the amount which would enable the County to restore the funds
on deposit in each such subaccount to an amount equal to the Reserve Account
Requirement in one (1) year from the date of such shortfall if such shortfall is a result
of a withdrawal from such subaccount(s). Such obligation to replenish the Reserve
Account shall be payable from amounts on deposit in the Revenue Fund after the
deposits required to be made to the Payment Account set forth above. To the extent
there are insufficient moneys in the Revenue Fund to make the required monthly
deposit into each subaccount of the Reserve Account, such deposits shall be made to
each subaccount on a pro rata basis in relation to the amount of the deficiency existing
in each subaccount. On or prior to each principal and interest payment date for the
Bonds, moneys in each subaccount of the Reserve Account shall be applied by the
County to the payment of the principal of, or redemption price, if applicable, and
interest on related series of Bonds to the extent moneys in the Payment Account and
the Revenue Fund are insufficient therefor. Whenever there shall be surplus moneys
in any subaccount of the Reserve Account by reason of a decrease in the Reserve
Account Requirement or due to a deposit of a Reserve Account Letter of Credit or
Reserve Account Insurance Policy, such surplus moneys shall be deposited by the
County, upon receipt of an approving opinion of Bond Counsel, on a pro rata basis
into other subaccounts, if any, containing less than the Reserve Account Requirement
applicable thereto, and otherwise, into the Payment Account.
Upon the issuance of any series of Bonds under the terms, limitations and
conditions as provided in the Resolution, the County shall fund the corresponding
subaccount of the Reserve Account established for such series in an amount at least
equal to the Reserve Account Requirement applicable to such series of Bonds;
16
Packet Pg. 856
provided, however, that in the case of Variable Rate Bonds, no such Reserve
Requirement shall be required; and provided, further that said Reserve Account
Requirement may at the County's election be zero. Such required amount shall be paid
in full from the proceeds of such series of Bonds or other sources, on the date of
delivery of such series of Bonds.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in lieu of the required deposits into
a subaccount of the Reserve Account, the County may, with the prior written consent
of each Insurer and Credit Bank, as applicable, insuring or guaranteeing such series of
Bonds, cause to be deposited into such subaccount a Reserve Account Insurance
Policy and/or Reserve Account Letter of Credit for the benefit of the Bondholders in
an amount equal to the difference between the Reserve Account Requirement
applicable thereto and the sums then on deposit in such subaccount, if any.
Payments to Providers of Reserve Account Letters of Credit or Reserve
Account Insurance Policies. Any remaining amounts in the Revenue Fund shall be
used to pay any outstanding amounts owed to any Insurer or provider of a Reserve
Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter of Credit.
Subordinated Indebtedness. Any remaining amounts in the Revenue Fund
shall next be used to pay any outstanding amounts due and payable with respect to
Subordinated Indebtedness.
Surplus Funds. The balance of any moneys remaining in the Revenue Fund
after the payments and deposits required as set forth above may be transferred, at the
discretion of the County, to any other appropriate fund or account of the County and
be used for any lawful purpose.
Whenever the amount on deposit in a subaccount of the Reserve Account
(other than amounts available under a Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve
Account Letter of Credit), together with the other amounts in the Debt Service Fund,
are sufficient to fully pay the corresponding series of outstanding Bonds in accordance
with their terms (including principal or applicable redemption price and interest
thereon), no further deposits to the Debt Service Fund for such series need be made
and the funds on deposit in such subaccount of the Reserve Account may be
transferred to the other accounts of the Debt Service Fund for the payment of the
Bonds.
The County, in its discretion, may use moneys in the Payment Account to
purchase or redeem Bonds coming due on the next principal payment date, provided
such purchase or redemption does not adversely affect the County's ability to pay the
principal or interest coming due on such principal payment date on the Bonds not so
purchased or redeemed.
17
Packet Pg. 857
At least three (3) business days prior to the date established for payment of any
principal of or redemption price, if applicable, or interest on the Bonds, the County
shall withdraw from the appropriate account of the Debt Service Fund sufficient
moneys to pay such principal or redemption price, if applicable, or interest and deposit
such moneys with the Paying Agent for the Bonds to be paid.
In the event the County shall issue a series of Bonds secured by a Credit
Facility, the County may establish such separate subaccounts in the Payment Account,
to provide for payment of the principal of and interest on such series; provided one
series of Bonds shall not have preference in payment from Pledged Funds over any
other series of Bonds. The Issuer may also deposit moneys in such subaccounts at
such other times and in such other amounts from those provided in the Resolution as
shall be necessary to pay the principal of and interest on such Bonds as the same shall
become due, all as provided by the supplemental resolution authorizing such Bonds.
In the case of Bonds secured by a Credit Facility, amounts on deposit in any
subaccounts established for such Bonds may be applied as provided in the applicable
supplemental resolution to reimburse the Credit Bank for amounts drawn under such
Credit Facility to pay the principal of or redemption price, if applicable, and interest
on such Bonds; provided such Credit Facility shall have no priority over Bondholders
or the Insurer or any provider of a Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve
Account Letter of Credit to amounts on deposit in the Debt Service Fund.
Rebate Fund. The County has established a separate fund to be designated the
"Rebate Fund" under the Resolution. The County will cause to be deposited into the
Rebate Fund, each year, the cumulative amounts required to be deposited therein in
order to make rebate payments to the United States of America pursuant to the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in accordance with the
provisions of the Resolution. Amounts deposited into the Rebate Fund are not pledged
to secure the Series 2014 Bonds.
Issuance of Additional Bonds
The County may issue one or more series of Additional Bonds for any one or
more of the following purposes: financing the cost of an additional project, or the
completion thereof or of the initial Project, or refunding any or all outstanding Bonds
or of any subordinated indebtedness of the County. No such Additional Bonds shall
be issued (i) if there is an Event of Default under the Resolution unless such issuance
will cure such Event of Default and (ii) unless the following conditions are complied
with:
(A) Except as otherwise provided in (D) below, there shall have been
obtained and filed with the County a statement of an independent certified public
18
Packet Pg. 858
accountant of reasonable experience and responsibility: (1) stating that the books and
records of the County relating to the Sales Tax Revenues have been examined by him;
(2) setting forth the amount of the Sales Tax Revenues which have been received by
the County during any twelve (12) consecutive months designated by the County
within the twenty-four (24) months immediately preceding the date of delivery of such
Additional Bonds with respect to which such statement is made; and (3) stating that
the amount of the Sales Tax Revenues received during the aforementioned 12-month
period equals at least 1.35 times (a) the Maximum Annual Debt Service of all Bonds
then outstanding and such Additional Bonds with respect to which such statement is
made and (b) any amounts then owed by the County under any Reserve Account
Letter of Credit or Reserve Account Insurance Policy as a result of a drawdown on
such Reserve Account Letter of Credit or Reserve Account Insurance Policy, plus 1.0
times the maximum annual debt service on any subordinated indebtedness
outstanding. In the event that Florida law is amended to provide for additional sales
tax revenues to be distributed to the County, and the County, by supplemental
resolution, extends the pledge of the Sales Tax Revenues created by the Resolution to
include such additional sales tax revenues, then for the purpose of determining
whether there are sufficient Sales Tax Revenues to meet the afore-referenced tests, the
independent certified public accountant shall assume that such additional sales tax
revenues were in effect during the applicable twelve (12) consecutive month period.
(B) For the purpose of determining the Maximum Annual Debt Service,
the interest rate on additional parity Variable Rate Bonds then proposed to be issued
and on outstanding Variable Rate Bonds shall be deemed to be 120% of the average of
the SIFMA Index over a two year period of time ending with the date immediately
prior to the sale of such Additional Bonds. For the purpose of determining the

Outstanding Variable Rate Bonds shall be deemed to be (1) if such Variable Rate
Bonds have been Outstanding for at least 24 months prior to the date of sale of such
Additional Bonds, the highest rate of interest borne by such Variable Rate Bonds
during the 24 months ending on the date immediately prior to the sale of such

least 24 months prior to the date of sale of such Additional Bonds, 120% of the
average of the SIFMA Index over a two year period of time ending on the date
immediately prior to the sale of such Additional Bonds.
(C) Additional Bonds shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant to the
Resolution the same as the outstanding Bonds, and all of the other covenants and other
provisions of the Resolution (except as to details of such Additional Bonds
inconsistent therewith) shall be for the equal benefit, protection and security of the
Holders of all Bonds issued pursuant to the Resolution. Except as provided otherwise
in the Resolution, all Bonds, regardless of the time or times of their issuance, shall
19

rank equally with respect to their lien on the Pledged Funds and their sources and
security for payment therefrom without preference of any Bonds over any other.
(D) In the event any Additional Bonds are issued for the purpose of
refunding any Bonds then outstanding, the conditions of (A) above shall not apply,
provided that the issuance of such Additional Bonds shall result in a reduction of the
aggregate debt service on the Bonds. The conditions of (A) above shall apply to
Additional Bonds issued to refund subordinated indebtedness and to Additional Bonds
issued for refunding purposes which cannot meet the conditions of the first sentence in
this paragraph.
(E) In the event that the total amount of Series 2014 Bonds authorized to be
issued are not issued simultaneously, such Series 2014 Bonds which are subsequently
issued shall be subject to the conditions of (A) above.
(F) No Additional Bonds shall be issued if any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing under the Resolution

PLEDGED FUNDS
Sources of Payment
General. The Series 2014 Bonds are payable solely from and secured by a
pledge of and lien upon the proceeds of the local government half-cent sales tax
allocated for and distributed monthly to the County pursuant to Chapter 218, Part VI,
Florida Statutes (the "Sales Tax Revenues") and, (2) until applied in accordance with
the provisions of the Resolution, all moneys, including investments thereof, in the
funds and accounts established in the Resolution, other than the Rebate Fund
(collectively, hereinafter called the "Pledged Funds").
THE SERIES 2014 BONDS, THE PREMIUM, IF ANY, AND THE
INTEREST THEREON SHALL NOT BE OR CONSTITUTE GENERAL
21
Packet Pg. 861
OBLIGATIONS OR INDEBTEDNESS OF THE COUNTY (OR "BONDS" WITHIN
THE MEANING OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA), BUT

NO REGISTERED OWNER OR OWNERS OF ANY SERIES 2014 BONDS SHALL
EVER HAVE THE RIGHT TO COMPEL THE EXERCISE OF THE AD

IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN THE RESOLUTION.
Local Government Half-Cent Sales Tax. The Local Government Half-Cent
Sales Tax is remitted to the County pursuant to Chapter 218, Part VI, Florida Statutes,
as amended (the "Half-Sales Tax Act"). The Florida Revenue Act of 1949, Chapter
212, Part I, Florida Statutes, as amended (the "Sales Tax Act") authorizes the levy and
collection by the State of Florida of a sales tax upon, among other things, the sales
price of each item or article of tangible personal property sold at retail in the State of
Florida, subject to certain exceptions and dealer allowances as set forth in the Sales
Tax Act. The sales tax in Florida is currently six percent.
The sales tax is collected on behalf of the State of Florida by businesses at the
time of sale at retail, use, consumption, or storage for use or consumption, of taxable
property and remitted to the State on a monthly basis. The Sales Tax Act provides for
penalties and fines, including criminal prosecution, for non-compliance with the
provisions thereof.
All funds received and collected by the State of Florida are required to be
deposited in the General Revenue Fund of the State and then distributed to various
funds as enumerated in the Sales Tax Act. After various enumerated distributions, a
portion of the amount remitted by a sales tax dealer within a participating county is
required to be transferred into the Local Government Half-Cent Sales Tax Clearing
Trust Fund (the "Trust Fund") and earmarked for distribution to the governing body of
that participating county and of each participating municipality within that county
pursuant to formulas set forth in the Sales Tax Act. The sales tax does not include any
sales tax revenues which may be distributed to the County from the Discretionary
Sales Tax Clearing Trust Fund pursuant to Sections 212.054 and 212.055, Florida
22
Packet Pg. 862
Statutes or any discretionary communications service tax imposed by the County on
communications services pursuant to Section 202.19, Florida Statutes.
The Sales Tax collected within a county and distributed to local government
units is distributed among the county and the municipalities therein in accordance with
the following formula:
County Share
(percentage of total Half-Cent = unincorporated + 2/3 incorporated
Sales Tax receipts) area population area population
__________________________________
total county + 2/3 incorporated
population area population
Municipality Share
(percentage of total Half-Cent = municipality population
Sales Tax receipts)
__________________________________
total county + 2/3 incorporated
population area population
For purposes of the foregoing formula, "population" is based upon the latest
official State estimate of population certified prior to the beginning of the local
government fiscal year. Should any unincorporated area of Okaloosa County become
hereafter incorporated as a municipality, the share of the sales tax received by the
County would be reduced.
The sales tax is distributed from the Trust Fund on a monthly basis to
participating units of local government. The Sales Tax Act permits the County to
pledge its share of the sales tax for the payment of principal of and interest on any
capital project.
To be eligible to participate in the sales tax, the counties and municipalities
must comply with certain requirements set forth in the Sales Tax Act. These
requirements include those concerning the reporting and auditing of its finances, the
levying of ad valorem taxes or receipt of other revenue sources, and certifying certain
requirements pertaining to the employment and compensation of law enforcement
officers, the employment of fire fighters, the auditing of certain dependent special
districts, and the method of fixing millage rates for the levying of ad valorem taxes.
Although the Sales Tax Act does not impose any limitation upon the number of
years during which the County can receive distribution of the sales tax from the Trust
Fund, there may be future amendments to the Sales Tax Act. To be eligible to
23
Packet Pg. 863
participate in the Trust Fund in future years, the County must comply with certain
eligibility and reporting requirements of the Sales Tax Act, otherwise, the County will
not be entitled to any Trust Fund distributions for twelve (12) months following a
"determination of noncompliance" by the State Department or Revenue. The County
has complied with all of the requirements set forth in the Sales Tax Act.

MUNICIPAL BOND INSURANCE
The County has received a commitment from Build America Mutual
Assurance Company (the "Insurer") to issue a Municipal Bond Insurance Policy (the
"Policy") for the Series 2014 Bonds. As described on the cover hereof, the County
will make a decision at pricing regarding which Series 2014 Bonds, if any, will be
guaranteed under the Policy. Any such Series 2014 Bonds so insured are referred to
herein as the "Insured Bonds".
THE PROJECT
The Project is the acquisition and construction of additional County facilities to
be known as the "Southside Annex", improvements to the County Courthouse in
Crestview, and other capital improvements.
25

INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
General
The purchase of the Series 2014 Bonds involves a degree of risk, as is the case
with all investments. Factors that could affect the County's ability to perform its
obligations under the Resolution, including the timely payment of principal of and
interest on the Series 2014 Bonds, include, but are not necessarily limited to, the
following:
Limited Special Obligations
The Series 2014 Bonds are limited, special obligations of the County, the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on which are payable from and secured
solely by a pledge of and lien on the Pledged Funds.
THE SERIES 2014 BONDS DO NOT CONSTITUTE A GENERAL
OBLIGATION OR INDEBTEDNESS OF THE COUNTY AND ARE NOT "SERIES
2014 BONDS" WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE
STATE OF FLORIDA. NO REGISTERED OWNER OR BENEFICIAL OWNER
OF ANY SERIES 2014 BONDS WILL EVER HAVE THE RIGHT (1) TO COMPEL
THE LEVY OF AD VALOREM TAXES TO PAY PRINCIPAL OF, PREMIUM, IF
ANY, OR INTEREST ON THE SERIES 2014 BONDS, OR (2) TO COMPEL THE
COUNTY TO PAY THE PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM, IF ANY, AND INTEREST ON
THE SERIES 2014 BONDS FROM ANY FUNDS OF THE COUNTY OTHER
THAN THE PLEDGED FUNDS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN THE
RESOLUTION. THE PRINCIPAL OF, PREMIUM, IF ANY, AND INTEREST ON
THE SERIES 2014 BONDS DO NOT CONSTITUTE A LIEN ON ANY PROPERTY
OF OR IN THE COUNTY OTHER THAN THE PLEDGED FUNDS IN THE
MANNER PROVIDED IN THE RESOLUTION.
Bond Insurance
Although some or all of the Series 2014 Bonds may be insured by the
Municipal Bond Insurance Policy issued by the Insurer which unconditionally
guarantees the payment of that portion of the principal of and interest on Insured
Bonds which has become due for payment, but which is unpaid by reason of
nonpayment by the County, there can be no assurance that the Insurer will make such
payments.
In the event of default of the payment of principal or interest with respect to
the Insured Bonds when all or some becomes due, any owner of the Insured Bonds
shall have a claim under the Policy for such payments. However, in the event of any
26
Packet Pg. 866
acceleration of the due date of such principal by reason of mandatory or optional
redemption or acceleration resulting from default or otherwise, other than any
advancement of maturity pursuant to a mandatory sinking fund payment, the payments
are to be made in such amounts and at such times as such payments would have been
due had there not been any such acceleration. The Policy does not insure against
redemption premium, if any. The payment of principal and interest in connection with
mandatory or optional prepayment of the Insured Bonds by the County which is
recovered by the County from the bond owner as a voidable preference under
applicable bankruptcy law is covered by the insurance policy, however, such payments
will be made by the Insurer at such time and in such amounts as would have been due
absent such prepayment by the County unless the Insurer chooses to pay such amounts
at an earlier date.
Under most circumstances, default of payment of principal and interest does
not obligate acceleration of the obligations of the Insurer without appropriate consent.
The Insurer may direct and must consent to any remedies and the Insurer's consent
may be required in connection with amendments to any applicable bond documents.
In the event the Insurer is unable to make payment of principal and interest as
such payments become due under the Policy, the Insured Bonds are payable solely
from the moneys received pursuant to the Resolution. In the event the Insurer
becomes obligated to make payments with respect to the Insured Bonds, no assurance
is given that such event will not adversely affect the market price of the Insured Bonds
or the marketability (liquidity) for the Insured Bonds.
The long-term ratings on the Insured Bonds are dependent in part on the
financial strength of the Insurer and its claim paying ability. The Insurer's financial
strength and claims paying ability are predicated upon a number of factors which
could change over time. No assurance is given that the long-term ratings of the
Insurer and of the ratings on the Insured Bonds insured by the Insurer will not be
subject to downgrade and such event could adversely affect the market price of the
Insured Bonds or the marketability (liquidity) for the Insured Bonds. See "RATINGS"
herein.
The obligations of the Insurer are general obligations of the Insurer and in an
event of default by the Insurer, the remedies available may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy law or other similar laws related to insolvency.
Neither the County nor the Underwriters have made independent investigation
into the claims paying ability of the Insurer and no assurance or representation
regarding the financial strength or projected financial strength of the Insurer is given.
Thus, when making an investment decision, potential investors should carefully
27
Packet Pg. 867
consider the ability of the County to pay principal and interest on the Insured Bonds
and the claims paying ability of the Insurer, particularly over the life of the investment.
Economic Factors
The Pledged Funds consist primarily of the Sales Tax Revenues received by
the County. Worsening economic conditions could impact the County's ability to pay
principal and interest on the Series 2014 Bonds. See "SALES TAX REVENUES" and
"THE COUNTY - Eglin Complex" herein.
THE COUNTY
Background
The County encompasses approximately 1,936 square miles, with
approximately 24 miles of coastline along the Gulf of Mexico. It is bordered on the
west by Santa Rosa County, on the north by the State of Alabama and on the east by
Walton County. The County was created by an act of the legislature of Florida in
1915. The County seat is located at the City of Crestview in the northern portion of
the County. Incorporated cities in the County include: Cinco Bayou, Crestview,
Destin, Fort Walton Beach, Laurel Hill, Mary Esther, Niceville, Shalimar and
Valpariso.
Eglin Complex
Eglin Air Force Base is the largest Air Force Base in the world, covering 724
square miles of land and approximately 123,000 square miles of water ranges in the
Gulf of Mexico. The base actually encompasses three military installations; Eglin Air
Force Base, Hurlburt Field and Duke Field, collectively known as the "Eglin
Complex". Eglin Air Force Base was established in 1934 and is responsible for
development, acquisition, testing, deployment and containment of all air-delivered
weapons. Hurlburt Field is headquarters to the Air Force Special Operations
Command and its mission is to support training and execution of worldwide special air
operations. Duke Field houses the 9191 Special Operations Wing, the only special
operations unit in the Air Force Reserve. The Eglin Complex is under the direction of
the Air Material Command and the Air Armament Center. The Air Armament Center
is responsible for planning, development, direction, testing and evaluation of U.S. and
allied air armament, navigation/guidance systems, and command and central systems
for all air-delivered weapons. The Eglin Complex houses over fifty associate units of
the Air Force, including specialized schools, operations and tactical wings,
laboratories and research units.
28
Packet Pg. 868
According to the Economic Development Council of Okaloosa County,
approximately 41% of the land area of the County is covered by the Eglin Complex
and approximately 70% of the County's economic activity comes from the military
and civilian installations connected to the Eglin Complex.
The economic viability of the County is directly dependent on the military.
The County's military installations are the prime generators of economic activity that
support active military, civil service, military dependents and retired military
personnel and their families. Further, defense related spending in the County
generates additional employment and wages and many of the largest defense
contractors in Florida have operations in the County.
In November, 2005, the United States Defense Base Realignment and Closure
Commission, commonly referred to as "BRAC", ordered 22 major U.S. military bases
closed. As a result of the closures and realignments, approximately 5,000 new
military and civilian personnel will be living and working at the Eglin Complex,
including the U.S. Army 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) which will be relocated
from Fort Bragg, North Carolina to the Eglin Complex. It is estimated that the
population impact, including spouses and children, will be approximately 6,000
people. The F35 Joint Strike Fighter Initial Training Center will also come to the
Eglin Complex. The first F35s are expected to arrive in 2010 and the estimated
population impact through 2016 is estimated at 4,800.
Population
The total population of the County was 170,498 in 2000 according to the U.S.
Census Bureau and was estimated to be 180,822 in 2012, according to the Florida
Statistical Abstract 2012 published by the University of Florida, Bureau of Economic
and Business Research. The population and commercial growth of the County is
primarily in the coastal area of the County along the Gulf of Mexico within the cities
of Fort Walton Beach and Destin at the hub of the population center.
Government
The County is governed by an elected five-member Board of County
Commissioners (the "Board"). Each Commissioner is elected for a four-year term of
office. The Board appoints a County Administrator to administer the County's
programs. The Clerk of the Circuit Court of the County is the clerk, auditor and
comptroller for the Board. The County seat is in Crestview, with a branch office in
Shalimar. In addition to the courthouse facilities, service complexes are located in the
north and southern sections of the County. Listed below are current members duly
elected of the Board of County Commissioners and their term expiration dates.

Budgetary Process
The County's annual budget is prepared pursuant to Chapters 129 and 200 of
the Florida Statutes and represents the County's legal authority to levy taxes and
expend funds for County purposes. The Board will be held personally liable and
subject to penalty for making unbudgeted expenditures.
On or before June 1 of each year the Sheriff, the Clerk of the Circuit Court and
the Supervisor of Elections must each submit to the Board a tentative budget request
for their respective offices for the ensuing fiscal year. No later than 15 days after the
Property Appraiser certifies the tax roll, the County Budget Officer prepares and
presents to the Board a tentative budget for each Board fund. The Board receives and
examines the tentative budget for each fund and, subject to the notice and hearing
requirements, make such changes as it deems necessary provided that the budget
remains in balance. A summary of the tentative budget is prepared by the Board,
advertised, publicly reviewed and revised prior to final approval and adoption before
the end of the fiscal year on September 30.
Annual Audit
Florida law requires that an annual audit of all County accounts and records be
completed within one year following the end of each Fiscal Year, by an independent
certified public accountant retained by the County and paid from its public funds.
Description of Financial Practices
The financial statements of the County are prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles as applied to local government finances. The
County uses funds and accounts groups to report on its financial position and the
results of its operations. A more detailed description of the financial practices of the
County is included in the Notes to the County's financial statements included herein as
Appendix A. A copy of the County's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 is available from the office of the Clerk of the
Circuit Court.
30
Packet Pg. 870
The Government Finance Officers' Association has awarded the Certificate of
Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the County for the fiscal year
ending September 30, 2013 and the County expects to receive this award again for
2014. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a governmental unit must
publish an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial
report, whose contents conform to industry standards.
Investment Policy
Moneys on deposit in the funds and accounts created under the Resolution may
be invested only in Authorized Investments (as defined in the Resolution).
Additionally, investment of surplus funds of the County is subject to state law,
including, in particular, Section 218.415, Florida Statutes, which requires the adoption
of a formal written investment policy for each unit of local government within the
state. In the absence of such a formal written investment policy, investment of surplus
funds is limited to certain specified types of investments. The Board of County
Commissioners has adopted a formal investment policy (the "Investment Policy")
which governs the investment of surplus County funds. The County's Investment
Policy applies to all funds held by or for the benefit of the Board and provides for
monthly reporting and quarterly detailed analysis of the investment portfolio of the
County. The Investment Policy specifies the types of investments permitted and
specifically prohibits the investment in derivative financial products. The investment
of bond proceeds may be further limited or expanded by the respective bond resolution
or covenants. The Clerk of the Circuit Court, a separate, elected, constitutional officer
of the County, has been designated by the Board of County Commissioners to serve as
investment manager pursuant to Section 125.31, Florida Statutes. A copy of the
Investment Policy may be obtained from the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court.
LEGAL MATTERS
Legal Opinions
Certain legal matters incident to the issuance of the Series 2014 Bonds and
with regard to the treatment of the interest on the Series 2014 Bonds for federal tax
purposes (see "TAX EXEMPTION") are subject to the legal opinions of Nabors,
Giblin, & Nickerson, P.A., Bond Counsel. The signed legal opinions, dated and
premised on law in effect as of the date of original delivery of the Series 2014 Bonds,
will be delivered to the Underwriters at the time of original delivery of the Series 2014
Bonds.
The proposed text of the legal opinions are set forth as Appendix D hereto.
The actual legal opinions to be delivered may vary from that text if necessary to reflect
facts and law on the date of delivery. The opinion will speak only as of its date and
31
Packet Pg. 871
subsequent distribution of such legal opinion by recirculation of the Official Statement
or otherwise shall create no implication that Bond Counsel has reviewed or expresses
any opinion concerning any of the matters referenced in the opinion subsequent to its
date.
Certain legal matters incident to the issuance of the Series 2014 Bonds will be
passed upon for the County by Nabors, Giblin & Nickerson, P.A., as the County
Attorney.
Litigation
General. The Board, the Clerk, the Sheriff, the County Property Appraiser and
the County Tax Collector are defendants from time to time in various lawsuits. The
County Attorney represents the Board. The County Property Appraiser, the Clerk, the
Sheriff, and the County Tax Collector each have separate counsel. It is the opinion of
the County Attorney with respect to litigation pending against the Board that the
Board either (1) has meritorious defenses against claims asserted in such litigation, (2)
is immune from liability under principles of sovereign immunity, or (3) has adequate
insurance coverage or reserves against liability with respect to such claims. There can
be no assurance, however, that the Clerk and the Board will not incur liability for
which adequate reserves do not exist, as a result of such litigation. In the event of
such liability, the Board could be required, among other responses, to expend reserves,
reduce the level of services, or borrow money in order to satisfy such liability. It is
not expected that any such liability would affect the obligation of the Board to apply
the proceeds of the Pledged Funds in accordance with the provisions of the Resolution.
The Series 2014 Bonds. There is no pending or, to the knowledge of the
County, threatened litigation against the County which in any way questions or affects
(1) the Project, (2) the validity of the Series 2014 Bonds, or any proceedings or
transactions relating to their sale, issuance, or delivery, (3) the pledge of the Pledged
Funds to secure payment of the Series 2014 Bonds, or (4) the provisions for collection
and application of the Pledged Funds in accordance with the provisions of the
Resolution.
While Bond Counsel has reviewed certain portions of this Official Statement, it
has not been engaged by the County to confirm or verify, and expresses and will
express no opinion as to, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of any statements in
this Official Statement, or in any other reports, financial information, offering or
disclosure documents or other information pertaining to the County, or the Series 2014
Bonds that may be prepared or made available by the County, the Underwriters or
others to the holders of the Series 2014 Bonds or other parties.
32
Packet Pg. 872
TAX MATTERS RELATED TO THE SERIES 2014 BONDS
Opinion of Bond Counsel
In the opinion of the Bond Counsel (see Appendix D), the interest on the Series
2014 Bonds is excludable from gross income and is not a specific item of tax
preference for federal income tax purposes under existing statutes, regulations, rulings
and court decisions. However, interest on the Series 2014 Bonds will be includable in
the computation of adjusted current earnings for the purpose of computing the
alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations by the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"). Failure by the County to comply subsequent to the
issuance of the Series 2014 Bonds with certain requirements of the Code regarding the
use, expenditure and investment of bond proceeds and the timely payment of certain
investment earnings to the Treasury of the United States may cause interest on the
Series 2014 Bonds to become includable in gross income for federal income tax
purposes retroactive to their date of issue. The County has covenanted in the
Resolution to comply with all provisions of the Code necessary to, among other
things, maintain the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Series 2014 Bonds
for purposes of federal income taxation. In rendering its opinion, Bond Counsel has
assumed continuing compliance with such covenants.
Internal Revenue Code of 1986
The Code contains a number of provisions that apply to the Series 2014 Bonds,
including, among other things, restrictions relating to the use of investment of the
proceeds of the Series 2014 Bonds and the payment of certain arbitrage earnings in
excess of the "yield" on the Series 2014 Bonds to the Treasury of the United States.
Noncompliance with such provisions may result in interest on the Series 2014 Bonds
being included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to their
date of issue.
Collateral Tax Consequences
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, the Series 2014 Bonds. Prospective
purchasers of the Series 2014 Bonds should be aware that the ownership of the Series
2014 Bonds may result in other collateral federal tax consequences. For example,
ownership of the Series 2014 Bonds may result in collateral tax consequences to
various types of corporations relating to (1) denial of interest deduction to purchase or
carry such Series 2014 Bonds, (2) the branch profits tax, and (3) the inclusion of
interest on the Series 2014 Bonds in passive income for certain Subchapter S
33

corporations. In addition, the interest on the Series 2014 Bonds may be included in
gross income by recipients of certain Social Security and Railroad Retirement benefits.
PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP, SALE OR DISPOSTION OF THE SERIES
2014 BONDS AND THE RECEIPT OR ACCRUAL OF THE INTEREST
THEREON MAY HAVE ADVERSE FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES FOR
CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL OR CORPORATE BONDHOLDERS, INCLUDING,
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE CONSEQUENCES DESCRIBED ABOVE.
PROSPECTIVE BONDHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX
SPECIALISTS FOR INFORMATION IN THAT REGARD.
Other Tax Matters
INTEREST ON THE SERIES 2014 BONDS MAY BE SUBJECT TO
STATE OR LOCAL INCOME TAXATION UNDER APPLICABLE STATE OR
LOCAL LAWS IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS. PURCHASERS OF THE
SERIES 2014 BONDS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO
THE INCOME TAX STATUS OF INTEREST ON THE SERIES 2014 BONDS
IN THEIR PARTICULAR STATE OR LOCAL JURISDICTIONS.
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 2014 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 2014 Bonds. From time to time,
legislative proposals are pending which could have an effect on both the federal tax
consequences resulting from ownership of the Series 2014 Bonds and their market
value. No assurance can be given that additional legislative proposals will not be
introduced or enacted that would or might apply to, or have an adverse effect upon, the
Series 2014 Bonds. For example, proposals have been discussed in connection with
deficit spending reduction, job creation and other tax reform efforts that could
significantly reduce the benefit of, or otherwise affect the exclusion from gross income
of, interest on obligations such as the Series 2014 Bonds. The President previously
released legislative proposals that would, among other things, subject interest on tax-
exempt obligations to a Federal income tax for taxpayers with incomes above certain
thresholds for tax years beginning after 2012. The further introduction or enactment
of one or more of such proposals could affect the market price or marketability of the
Series 2014 Bonds.

Packet Pg. 874
Bond Premium
The difference between the principal amount of the Series 2014 Bonds
maturing on October 1, through October 1, (collectively, 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 Premium Bond which ends on the earlier of
the maturity or call date for each of the Premium Bonds which minimizes the yield on
such Premium 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.

shall be filed by the County with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board's
electronic municipal access system ("EMMA"). The specific nature of the financial
information, operating data, and of the type of events triggering a disclosure
obligation, and other details of the undertaking are described in "Appendix F -- Form
of Continuing Disclosure Certificate" attached hereto. The Continuing Disclosure

The County was several days late in filing its comprehensive annual financial
statements for fiscal years 2010 and 2013, has inadvertently failed to include in its
required annual disclosure an update of its water and sewer rates, and inadvertently
failed to include a debt service coverage calculation for its sales tax-secured bonds in
fiscal year 2013. In addition, certain annual reports and audited financial statements
were filed late in the five years preceding 2009. The County has taken steps to ensure
that these discrepancies do not occur again, including the hiring of a third-party
dissemination agent.

GENERAL INFORMATION PERTAINING TO
OKALOOSA COUNTY, FLORIDA
Location and Size
Okaloosa County was formed by an act of the Florida Legislature in 1915. The
County is in the center of a 100 mile long strip of beaches in northwest Florida. The
County seat is located at Crestview in the northern half of the County. Niceville, Fort
Walton Beach, Valparaiso, Shalimar, Wright, Ocean City and Destin are other
important population centers. The county is bordered on the west by Santa Rosa
County, on the north by the State of Alabama, on the east by Walton County and on
south by the Gulf of Mexico. Okaloosa County has a total land area of 1,936 square
miles and approximately 24 miles of beaches facing directly on the Gulf of Mexico.
The total population of the County was 170,498 in 2000 according to the U.S. Census
Bureau and was 180,882 as of April 1, 2012 according to the Florida Statistical
Abstract 2012 published by the University of Florida, Bureau of Economic and
Business Research. The northern half of the County is largely agricultural and is
centered on the County seat, Crestview. The eastern portion of the Black River Forest
comprises nearly one-third of this northern portion of the County.
The entire central and southern portions of the County, with the exception of
the coastal area, is given over to the massive Eglin Air Force Base installation. The
twin cities of Niceville and Valparaiso offer residential living, shopping and
commercial accommodations to Air Force families and personnel. Fine fishing
facilities are found along Choctawhatchee bay to the south of the base.
The coastal area along the Gulf of Mexico has Fort Walton Beach and Destin
as its hub. Visitors from northern states, tourists from all parts of the national and
personnel recently retired from the Armed Services have made this area their
permanent home. The population and commercial growth of the County is primarily
in this coastal section.
Recreation and Tourism
In Okaloosa County, the resident and tourist has a full range of natural
attractions and opportunities offered to him. Mile after mile of beautiful beaches and
waterways attract boat enthusiasts, swimmers, skiers, surfers, skindivers and scuba
divers. Concentrations of fighting game fish may be found offshore from Destin.
Party and charter boats make runs out to favorite fishing reefs daily. Pier and bridge
fishing on the Gulf of Mexico and inland bays and fresh water fishing in lakes and
streams are excellent. The hunter may try for deer, turkey, quail, dove, duck and wild
B-1
Packet Pg. 880
hog in the game management areas of the northern part of the County. Sailing, golfing
and camping are other year-round activities.
It is estimated that over 3,500,000 tourists visit the County each year. Tourists
may visit the USAF Armament Museum, which is located on Eglin Air Force Base.
Modern motels, condominiums and apartments are available accommodating up to
16,670 rooms for visitors.
Federal Installation
One of the largest U.S. Air Force installations in the free world is located
in Okaloosa County. Established in 1935, Eglin Air Force Base is a massive testing
and research facility covering 725 square miles in Walton, Okaloosa and Santa Rosa
Counties. It includes three active major airfields: Eglin Main, Hurlburt and Duke.
The Armament Division is responsible for research and development of all Air Force
non-nuclear munitions a satellite tracking station and more than 40 other
organizations. The unique McKinley Climatic Laboratory allows military and civilian
testing of components and equipment at temperature extremes much lower than that
actually experienced at polar or desert base locations. Giant aircraft, capable of
carrying 500 personnel, can be accommodated within the confines of the laboratory.
Eglin air Force Base is the home of the h air force Test Center, under the Air
Force Systems Command. The 3rd Fighter Wing is on Eglin Main Base while the
919th Special Operation Group and the 7281 Tactical Control Squadron are at Duke
Field. Other units, including a large Army Range Group, occupy other facilities.
In 1999, Federal military employment in Okaloosa County was approximately
16,000, and Federal civilian employment was approximately 6,750, primarily at the
military bases.
Because of its wide range of activities, the uniqueness of its various facilities,
and its vast size and favorable location, Eglin Air Force Base should continue to play a
vital role in the defense programs of the United States.

Pension Plan
Plan Description
Okaloosa County contributes to the Florida Retirement System (FRS), a cost-
sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan administered by the State of
Florida Division of Retirement, Department of Management Services. The FRS
provides retirement, disability or death benefits to plan members or their designated
beneficiaries. Florida Statutes Chapter 121 provides the authority under which benefit
provisions are established. The provisions may only be amended by legislative action.
Beginning in 2002, a defined contribution plan alternative to the existing
defined benefit plan known as the Public Employee Optional Retirement Program or
the FRS Investment Plan became available to FRS members. Members in either plan
B-5
Packet Pg. 884
who have reached normal retirement age may retire and continue employment with the
County for up to 60 months. During that period the member's retirement benefits
accumulate in the FRS Trust Fund increased by a cost-of-living adjustment each July
and earned interest at an annual rate of 6.5%. The FRS issues a publicly available
financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary
information. That report may be obtained on the State of Florida Department of
Management Services website at www.dms.myflorida.com.
FRS Plan Changes
Effective July 1, 2011, the Florida Legislature passed Senate Bill 2100 that
made substantive changes to the Florida Retirement System (FRS). The new Bill
requires all FRS Investment and Pension Plan members (except those in Deferred
Retirement Option Program, DROP) to now pay a 3% employee contribution, on a
pretax basis, beginning on or after July 1, 2011. Cost of living adjustments (COLA)
on or after July 1, 2011 are not automatic at 3%, but based on total years of service
earned prior to July 1, 2011 to total years of service at retirement, multiplied by 3%.
New members enrolling into FRS for the first time after July 1, 2011 will be
subject to additional changes including 1) an increased vesting period from 6 years to
8 years, 2) a change calculation of benefits using Average Final Compensation (AFC)
on the highest eight years of compensation as compared to highest five years. In
addition, the normal retirement date for Regular, Senior Management Service, Elected
Officers', and Special Risk Administrative Support Classes was modified to be age 65,
with 8 years of service or 33 years of service regardless of age. Normal retirement for
Special Risk Class members now at age 60, with 8 years of service, or 30 years of
special risk class service or age 57, with 30 years of combined special risk class
service and military service. For those members participating in the DROP program,
the Legislature reduced the annual interest rate used for benefits from 6.5% to 1.3%.
The funding policy relative to the FRS plan is disclosed below.
Funding Policy
Contribution requirements of the plan are established in Florida Statutes
Chapter 121 and may only be amended by legislative action. Effective July 1, 2011,
the Florida Legislature passed Senate Bill 2100 requiring all employee members to
contribute 3% to the Plan. Formerly, only employers were required to contribute to
the FRS Plan. The FRS funding policy now provides for monthly employer and
employee contributions at actuarially determined rates that, expressed as percentages
of annual covered payroll are adequate to accumulate sufficient assets to pay benefits
when due. Level percentages of payroll employer contribution rates, established by
state law, are determined using the entry-age actuarial funding method. If an
unfunded actuarial liability re-emerges as a result of future plan benefit changes,
B-6
Packet Pg. 885
assumption changes, or methodology changes, it is assumed any unfunded actuarial
liability would be amortized over 30 years, using level dollar amounts. Except for
gains reserved for rate stabilization, it is anticipated future actuarial gains and losses
are amortized on a rolling 10% basis, as a level dollar amount.
In July 2002, the Florida Legislature established a uniform contribution rate
system for the FRS, which remained in effect with the passage of Senate Bill 2100.
The uniform contribution system covers both the FRS Pension Plan and the FRS
Investment Plan. Employers and employees contribute a percentage of the total
payroll for each class of FRS membership.
The current actuarially determined contribution rates expressed as a percentage
of covered payrolls are for regular employees 6.95%, special risk employees 19.06%,
special risk administrative support 35.96%, elected judges 28.28%, elected county
officers 33.03%, senior management service class 18.31%, and 12.84% for the
Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP). The County's contributions to the plan
for the years ended September 30, 2013, 2012, and 2011, listed below were equal to
the required contributions for the year.

Total Contributions $5,730,838 $5,015,442 $7,821,776
Effective July 1, 2013, the Florida Legislature passed Senate Bill 1810 that sets
the employer-paid contribution rates for both FRS and HIS system. The employer-
paid contribution rate to pay the normal costs and amortization of the unfunded
actuarial liability of the FRS increased. The established rates are based on the rates
recommended in the "Blended Rate Study" associated with the 2012 Actuarial
Valuation of the FRS. The "Blended Rate Study" covers a thirty-year period, with
rates adjusted annually. The contributions will be deposited into the FRS Trust Fund
to fund retirement benefits to members participating in the FRS.

Health Insurance Subsidy
Plan Description
The Board of County Commissioners contributes to the Florida Retirement
System Health Insurance Subsidy (FRSHIS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined
benefit pension plan administered by the State of Florida Division of Retirement,
Department of Management Services. Florida Statutes provides the authority under
which benefit provisions are established. The provisions may only be amended by
legislative action. The FRS issues a publicly available financial report that includes
financial statements and required supplementary information. That report may be
obtained on the State of Florida Department of Management Services website at
www.dms.myflorida.com.
The FRS provides assistance to retirees of all state-administered retirement
systems in paying health insurance costs. Eligible retirees received an extra $5 per
month for each year of creditable service completed at the time of retirement with a
minimum monthly payment of $30 and a maximum payment of $150. To be eligible
to receive the Health Insurance Subsidy (HIS), a retiree under any state-administered
retirement must provide proof of health insurance coverage, which can include
Medicare. Any spouse or financial dependent who receives a monthly retirement
benefit may also receive the HIS.
Funding Policy
The HIS program is funded by required contributions from FRS participating
employers. According to the FRS actuarial valuation of HIS completed July 1, 2012,
the unfunded actuarial liability of the HIS program was $8.8 billion. The annual
required contribution (ARC) calculated in July, 2012, for the fiscal year ending June
30, 2013 is 1.71% of active payroll. Effective July 1, 2013, with the passage of Senate
Bill 1810, the employer-paid contribution rate for the HIS program increased from
1.11% of the employer's payroll to 1.20% of the employer's payroll. This contribution
is added to the amount submitted for retirement contributions but is deposited in a
separate trust fund (The Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy Trust Fund) from which
Health Insurance Subsidy payments are authorized. If these contributions fail to
provide full subsidy benefits to all participants, the subsidy payments may be reduced
or canceled.

circumstances; and
(c) The amendment or waiver either (1) is approved by the Holders of the
Bonds in the same manner as provided in the Bond Resolution for amendments to the
Bond Resolution with the consent of Holders, or (ii) does not, in the opinion of

shall include, as applicable, a narrative explanation of the reason for the amendment or
waiver and its impact on the type (or in the case of a change of accounting principles,

required by this Disclosure Certificate. If the Issuer chooses to include any

to that which is specifically required by this Disclosure Certificate, the Issuer shall
have no obligation under this Certificate to update such information or include it in
any future Annual Report or notice of occurrence of a Listed Event.

with any provision of this Disclosure Certificate, any Holder or Beneficial Owner of
the Bonds may take such actions as may be necessary and appropriate, including
seeking mandate or specific performance by court order, to cause the Issuer to comply
with its obligations under this Disclosure Certificate; provided, however, the sole
remedy under this Disclosure Certificate in the event of any failure of the Issuer to

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF OKALOOSA COUNTY, FLORIDA
AMENDING ITS RESOLUTION NO. 09-190, ADOPTED
NOVEMBER 17, 2009, IN CERTAIN RESPECTS; AND
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Okaloosa County, Florida (the
"County") has on November 17, 2009, previously adopted its Resolution No. 09-190 (the
"Resolution"), which provides for the issuance from time to time of Sales Tax Revenue Bonds of
the County; and
WHEREAS, the County has previously issued its Sales Tax Revenue Bonds, Series
2009A and Taxable Sales Tax Revenue Bonds (Direct Payment Build America Bonds), Series
2009B (collectively, the "Series 2009 Bonds"); and
WHEREAS, the Resolution provides for the issuance of Additional Bonds (as defined
therein), and in connection therewith the creation of a subaccount of the Reserve Account
established thereby funded at the Reserve Account Requirement; and
WHEREAS, the County desires to amend the Resolution to provide that the Reserve
Account Requirement may, with respect to a series of future Bonds, be zero; and
WHEREAS, Section 7.01(L) of the Resolution authorizes amendments to the Resolution
that, in the opinion of the County, would not materially adversely affect the security for the
Bonds; and
WHEREAS, since the Series 2009 Bonds continue to be secured by a separate
subaccount of the Reserve Account and the absence of a reserve subaccount for a series of
Additional Bonds does not affect such security, the County does not believe such amendment
would adversely affect the security for the existing Bonds; and
WHEREAS, Section 7.03 of the Resolution provides that if all the Bonds Outstanding
thereunder are insured or guaranteed as to principal and interest by an Insurer or Insurers and
said Bonds shall be rated by the rating agencies which shall have rated the Bonds at the time
such Bonds were guaranteed no lower than in the top four rating categories (including
gradations) established by said rating agencies on the date of being guaranteed, the Issuer may
enact certain Supplemental Resolutions amending certain parts of the Resolution with the written
consent of such Insurer or Insurers and the acknowledgment of such Insurer or Insurers that its
guaranty policy will remain in full force and effect, without the prior written consent of the
Bondholders; and
Packet Pg. 902
WHEREAS, Assured Guaranty is the Insurer of all of the Series 2009 Bonds, the only
Bonds currently Outstanding under the Resolution, and is rated "AA" by Standard & Poor’s
Rating Group, which is the rating agency which rated the Series 2009 Bonds and continues to
rate them, and such rating is within the top four rating categories (including gradations) of such
services;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF OKALOOSA COUNTY FLORIDA as follows:
SECTION 1. The Resolution is hereby amended to provide that, at the option of the
County, the Reserve Account Requirement with respect to any Additional Bonds issued under
the Resolution may be zero; provided, that at the time of issuance of such Additional Bonds, the
Additional Bonds shall be rated (without regard to any credit enhancement) at least AA- or Aa3
by Standard & Poor's Ratings Service or Moody's Investors Service, respectively.
SECTION 2. This Amending Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its
adoption, and the approval by Assured Guaranty Corp. referenced below.

RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF OKALOOSA COUNTY, FLORIDA
SUPPLEMENTING RESOLUTION NO. 09-190 OF THE
COUNTY; MAKING CERTAIN COVENANTS AND
AGREEMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE ISSUANCE OF
THE COUNTY'S SALES TAX REVENUE BONDS, SERIES
2014; PROVIDING CERTAIN TERMS AND DETAILS OF
SUCH BONDS, INCLUDING AUTHORIZING A
NEGOTIATED SALE OF SAID BONDS AND THE
EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF A BOND PURCHASE
CONTRACT WITH RESPECT THERETO UPON
COMPLIANCE WITH CERTAIN PARAMETERS;
APPOINTING THE PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR
WITH RESPECT TO SAID BONDS; AUTHORIZING THE
EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF AN OFFICIAL
STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO; AUTHORIZING
THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF AN INSURANCE
AGREEMENT AND A CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
CERTIFICATE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
OKALOOSA COUNTY, FLORIDA, as follows:
SECTION 1. FINDINGS. It is hereby found and determined that:
(A) On November 17, 2009, the Board of County Commissioners of Okaloosa County,
Florida (the "County" or "Issuer") duly adopted Resolution No. 09-190 (as previously supplemented,
the "Authorizing Resolution"). All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings set forth in the Authorizing Resolution.
(B) The Authorizing Resolution, as further supplemented hereby, is referred to herein as
the "Bond Resolution."
(C) The Authorizing Resolution provides for the issuance of Bonds thereunder, upon
meeting the requirements set forth in the Authorizing Resolution.
(D) The County deems it to be in the best interests of its citizens and taxpayers to issue its
Sales Tax Revenue Bonds, Series 2014 (the "2014 Bonds") for the purpose of financing certain
capital improvements in and for the County (described in Exhibit D attached hereto) (the "2014
Project"). The County has issued its Sales Tax Bond Anticipation Note, Series 2014 (the "2014
Note") to provide interim financing for the 2014 Project.
Packet Pg. 905
(E) The principal of and interest on the 2014 Bonds and all required sinking fund, reserve
and other payments shall be limited obligations of the County, payable solely from the Pledged
Funds, as provided in the Authorizing Resolution. The 2014 Bonds shall not constitute a general
obligation or a pledge of the faith, credit or taxing power of the County, the State of Florida, or any
political subdivision thereof, within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provisions, except
to the extent specifically set forth in the Authorizing Resolution. Neither the State of Florida, nor
any political subdivision thereof, nor the County shall be obligated (1) to exercise its ad valorem
taxing power in any form on any real or personal property of or in the County to pay the principal of
the 2014 Bonds, the interest thereon, or other costs incidental thereto or (2) to pay the same from any
other funds of the County except from the Pledged Funds, in the manner provided in the Bond
Resolution.
(F) Due to the present volatility of the market for tax-exempt obligations such as the 2014
Bonds, it is in the best interest of the County to sell the 2014 Bonds by a negotiated sale, allowing
the County to enter the market at the most advantageous time, rather than at a specified advertised
date, thereby permitting the County to obtain the best possible price and interest rate for the 2014
Bonds. The County acknowledges receipt of the information required by Section 218.385, Florida
Statutes, in connection with the negotiated sale of the 2014 Bonds. A copy of the letter of the
underwriters for said 2014 Bonds containing the aforementioned information is a condition
precedent to the execution and delivery by the Issuer of the Purchase Contract referred to below.
(G) RBC Capital Markets LLC, on behalf of itself and Crews & Associates, Inc.
(collectively, the "Underwriters") expects to offer to purchase the 2014 Bonds from the County and
submit a Bond Purchase Contract in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Purchase Contract")
expressing the terms of such offer, and, assuming compliance with the provisions of Section 5
hereof, the Issuer does hereby find and determine that it is in the best financial interest of the Issuer
that the terms expressed in the Purchase Contract be accepted by the Issuer.
(H) The Authorizing Resolution provides that Bonds such as the 2014 Bonds shall mature
on such dates and in such amounts, shall bear such rates of interest, shall be payable in such places
and shall be subject to such redemption provisions as shall be determined by Supplemental
Resolution adopted by the County; and it is now appropriate that the County determine parameters
for such terms and details.
SECTION 2. AUTHORITY FOR THIS SUPPLEMENTAL RESOLUTION. This
Supplemental Resolution is adopted pursuant to Article II of the Authorizing Resolution, the
provisions of the Act (as defined in the Authorizing Resolution) and other applicable provisions of
law.
SECTION 3. AUTHORIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE 2014 BONDS. The
County hereby determines to issue a series of Bonds in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding
$25,000,000, the exact principal amount to be as set forth in the Purchase Contract, to be known as

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: November 4, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Rick Owen
SUBJECT: Information for Backyard Chicken Discussion and Direction
DEPARTMENT: County Administrator
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Board of County Commissioners has expressed interest in
allowing the keeping of chickens in residential areas. In order to allow such activity, it is
necessary to amend various portions of the County Code to eliminate conflicts with such an
activity.
BACKGROUND: Numerous communities across the country, including cities and counties in
Northwest Florida, have amended their land development codes and other regulations to allow
the keeping of poultry as an accessory activity to residential use. Setbacks from property lines,
separation requirements from inhabited buildings, the number of birds kept, and enclosure
requirements are among the commonly regulated elements of raising chickens in residential
areas. Some of the more common practices include:
1. Allowing chickens in rear and side yards only
2. Establishing property line setbacks, typically between 5 and 10
3. Establishing minimum distances from adjacent residential properties,
typically between 20 and 30 feet
4. Establishing a maximum number of birds, 4 to 8 per residence is typical
5. Providing requirements for coops/hen houses, typically 2 - 4 square feet
per bird
6. Ensuring that coops and outside enclosures are secure against predators
7. Ensuring that food containers and enclosures are secure against rodents
and pests
8. Roosters are usually prohibited
9. Most ordinances reviewed do not allow the sale of eggs from chickens
produced by backyard flocks, they are for the consumption of the owners of the chickens only
It should also be noted that the Crestview livestock provisions attached hereto are a draft recently
discussed but not voted on by the City Council. The minutes of the workshop are included as the
issues raised may be applicable to County deliberations.
While the issues associated with the keeping of poultry are addressed in various parts of the
County Code, most particularly section 2.21.05.10 (keeping of livestock), section 9.02.03
(Community Noise Abatement), and 5-32.d (Animal Sheltering), none of these sections provides
any of the types of standards that have been enacted by other communities specific to poultry.
Therefore, if the Board of County Commissioners wishes to allow the keeping of "backyard
flocks" for the production of eggs and possibly meat, staff recommends that the Code be
Packet Pg. 939
amended to provide specific standards so that, in the event of complaints, the enforcing agencies
have clear rules to enforce.
Enforcement is an important consideration. The County's contract with the Panhandle Animal
Welfare Society (PAWS) makes that agency responsible for enforcing "all applicable Okaloosa
County ordinances and Florida statutes relating to animal control." If the County adopts specific
standards for the housing of chickens, the impact on PAWS' workload, as well as potentially the
Code Enforcement Division and the Sheriff's office, will need to be considered.
This topic was brought before the Board at the August 19, 2014 BCC meeting with no action
taken. At the request of a commissioner, staff has brought this agenda item back for further
consideration.
OPTIONS: The Board has three options: 1) it can direct staff to begin the drafting of
regulations to allow the keeping of poultry in residential areas; 2) it can direct staff to conduct
further research and bring back more refined recommendations; or 3) it can take no action.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners
consider the information provided herein, and direct staff as to its intentions regarding allowing
the keeping of chickens as accessory to residential uses.

Workshop
May 12, 2014
5:00 p.m.
The Workshop Meeting of the Crestview City Council was called to order at 5:00 PM. Members present
were: President Shannon Hayes, Vice President Mickey Rytman, Joe Blocker and Thomas Gordon,
Robyn Helt. Also present were Mayor David Cadle, City Clerk Elizabeth Roy, City Attorney J. Jerome
Miller, department heads and members of the press.
The data reflected within these proceedings constitutes an extrapolation of information elicited from
notes, observations, and recordings. Comments reflected herein are sometime paraphrased, condensed
and have been edited to reflect essential subject matter covered during the meeting. Background data of
individual cases heard before the council are on file with the Clerk’s office. Parties interested in receiving
a verbatim account of the proceedings are responsible for coordinating with the City Clerk Department
pursuant to Crestview Policy 91-1, Duplication of Public records, Chapter 119 and 283, Florida Statutes
and Attorney General Opinions in force at time of enactment of Policy 91-1.
1. Call to Order
Meeting called to order by Mr. Hayes at 5:00 p.m.
2. Invocation & Pledge of Allegiance
The invocation was led by Ms. Helt and the pledge by Mr. Rytman.
3. Discussion, Animal Control Changes
Mr. Hayes stated that the workshop today is for the Animal Control Ordinance and for the
Council to address the changes.
Ms. Roy stated that the four areas of main concern seems to be chickens, number of animals,
tethering and to some extent pot bellied pigs. Those four items were brought up most often in
workshops. She would like to cover all four of those items and to see if Council can reach a
consensus of where they would like to move from here.
Ms. Roy then started with the issue of the chickens. She pointed on page six in Section 10-10
titled Livestock under “b” number two that “No person shall slaughter any chickens.” The
purpose of that line was that people could not raise chickens for slaughter. Her proposal for
changing that is to take out the line and replace it with “No person shall raise chickens expressly
for slaughter.” The other items in that section should remain the same.
Mr. Blocker inquired about the number of chickens that can be kept because the number is four
but he was asked if it was at one time seven or if it could be changed to seven.
Ms. Roy stated that the only seven pertains to the number of domesticated animals that one can
own. Nobody has inquired about the number of chickens one can own.
Packet Pg. 946
Discussion ensued relative to changing the number of allowable chickens.
Ms. Helt stated that she has proposed including the chickens in the Animal Ordinance, she is not
in favor of the limitation of four, this should depend upon the property size. She also feels that it
is not the business of the City to prevent the slaughter of chickens if it is done responsibly and
humanely. Ms. Helt feels that the City should not have a prohibition against the selling of eggs to
ones neighbor.
Ms. Roy stated that the selling of eggs is a Heath Department and a Food and Drug
Administration issue not a City of Crestview issue.
Ms. Helt expressed that she feels that the word moveable as it regards to a chicken enclosure
needs to be clearly defined or omitted. Because what one may consider moveable maybe not
what the City considers moveable. She does not want to impose rules and regulations where she
does not think it necessary when it comes to those issues.
Ms. Roy stated that with the selling of the eggs if the City allows people to sell eggs is the City
held liable if those eggs make someone sick this would be a question she would have to pose
with the Health Department.
Mr. Gordon agrees with the other Council members on their view regards to owning chickens.
Mr. Hayes stated that the chickens do not pose a problem until they become a nuisance. He
would like the selling of eggs to be researched.
Ms. Roy stated that the number of chickens one can own is really determined by the space that is
provided for the chickens to live in. If a person has the adequate amount of space for a large
number of chickens and they are not a nuisance to neighbors then it may be possible to have
more than four chickens.
Discussion ensued relative to the space for chickens.
Ms. Roy suggested that with the selling of chicken products if there is no wording specifically
against it but to say that the selling is only allowed if it is by state statute.
Mr. Miller commented that he does not find a sponsor for a particular policy among the
legislators. Ms. Roy is not the legislator. We can produce a sponsored draft ordinance for you to
approve, and then convince your fellows that, that model ought to be passed. He feels that the
Council is no further along today in this mediation approach to composing legislation than they
were months ago with this and other issues. There have been subject matters opened today that
have some foundations in other locations in the City Code. In 1941, when Fort Walton Beach
was incorporated, the driving force was that Florida was an open range state. That was the way
that people in an urban area could come together and gain the authority to regulate roaming
livestock. Because in unincorporated areas in Florida every property was, in practice, zoned
agriculture and for agriculture uses the livestock could roam anywhere they weren’t fenced out.
There was no requirement that they be fenced in. In the City’s zoning code there are permitted
2
Workshop 05/12/14
Packet Pg. 947
uses, none of them can be used by its owners for agricultural purposes except for possibly two
locations that are zoned for agriculture. There seems to be some sentiment to change that and
permit agricultural uses in a broader portion of the City. This would be a zoning issue not an
Animal Ordinance issue.
Mr. Miller suggested to Council to have a draft ordinance generated by them, with Staff if you
need that assistance, would be a starting point on that expressed philosophy.
Ms. Roy explained the reason that the twenty foot from the property line is in this ordinance is
because of the City’s Land Use Ordinance which prohibits any kind of animals, livestock within
twenty feet of a property line. By having that in the Animal Ordinance keeps it in compliance
with the Land Use Ordinance.
Mr. Blocker commented that with other guidelines in place if a person meets that criteria then
they should be able to keep as many chickens as they please.
Ms. Roy continued to speak about the other changes in the ordinance in dealing with the number
of animals a person is allowed to own. At current the ordinance states that one can own at least
four adult dogs and four additional animals. The change would decrease the number of
domesticated animals to seven. This does decrease the total by one but it increases the amount of
actual dogs one can have.
Ms. Helt suggested language related to nuisance stand and we should stay of a person’s business
in regards to how many pets they have. Provided they have the space, the means and take good
care of their dogs as long as the dogs are not a nuisance she does not like the limitation.
Mr. Rytman asked if these changes being made to this ordinance was to clarify that P.A.W.S
handles the Animal Control and not the City of Crestview. This is will give P.A.W.S a guideline
to regulate the animals within the City limits and we as a Council should decide what a nuisance
is.
Ms. Roy states that this ordinance is not being changed to accommodate a contractor. The
ordinance is being changed and taking the City Animal Control out of the ordinance and to put
the City in compliance.
Discussion ensued relative to the topic of number of dogs and animals being a nuisance.
Mr. Gordon echoed the same sentiment of Ms. Helt of keeping government out of dictating to
people how many dogs a person can own.
Mr. Hayes stated that he does not have a problem with the number of dogs, cats, chickens one
owns as long as they are not a nuisance. He feels that citizens may not have a problem with the
number of animals, but whether or not they are a nuisance may be the issue.
Ms. Roy informed Mr. Hayes that there are provisions for animal nuisance in the ordinance.
3
Workshop 05/12/14
Packet Pg. 948
Mr. Hayes stated that the consensus of the Council is to look more into what defines a nuisance.
Ms. Roy points out that on the current ordinance and the revised ordinance the City is designated
as a Bird Sanctuary. She could not found why or how the City got this designation but in
researching this that any bird that is protected is protected by Federal and State statutes. There
cannot be any gun fired, fireworks displayed or any action that may prove dangerous to birds. A
person cannot remove a bird from a light pole, even if it causing problems, because of this
designation. Ms. Roy suggested to get rid of the Bird Sanctuary designation.
Mr. Miller stated that at this point it seems that there are two legislative perspectives. He
recommends that the Council do separate ordinances to get some these issues resolved. One
would be to remove the provision that imposes a restriction on the number of dogs and the other
would be removing the Bird Sanctuary designation.
Mr. Blocker commented that from his research he agrees to remove that designation from the
ordinance.
Ms. Roy addresses the issue of the pot bellied pigs because in the current ordinance chickens or
pigs are not allowed. In the draft ordinance it was said that the pot bellied pig is considered a
domesticated animal.
Ms. Helt stated that she did not want to impose a regulation on someone where a regulation does
not need to exist.
Discussion ensued.
Ms. Roy then reached the issue of tethering as it relates to the ordinance. This is not in the
current ordinance at all. This change would disallowing tethering of dogs to solid posts except
for limited times when there is someone in your yard. It has been brought forth from citizens
who do not want people to be able to tether a dog to a tree or a dog house as a means of restraint.
If a dog is on a chain it would need to be on a moveable line not a tether.
Mr. Hayes addressed Mr. Miller in relating to the number of animals and bird sanctuary will that
mean a change in the ordinance or how does the process work.
Mr. Miller stated that he already suggested to the Clerk to bring these items back to the Council
in separate ordinances. Because there is a variety of input they will need to come back as
separate ordinances.
Ms. Roy asked if there was a consensus from the Council on tethering.
Mr. Hayes answered that he was for what is in this ordinance now.
Mr. Miller asked if the issue of tethering was in the old ordinance.
4
Workshop 05/12/14
Packet Pg. 949
Ms. Roy answered that it was not in the old one but in the rewritten ordinance.
Mr. Blocker asked for clarification of the meaning of the word property as it relates to tethering a
dog. He also asked if it is P.A.W.S who determines the fees a person should pay or is a fee
schedule that the City provides them to determine what a person should pay when they are in
violation of the ordinance.
Ms. Roy informed Mr. Blocker that the ordinance clearly stated that property is defined as one’s
dwelling and not a vehicle. As far as the fees, those are set by P.A.W.S because they are the
collector of the fees. Those fees are used to offset the City’s cost to P.A.W.S that is in the
contract now.
Mr. Gordon states that his issue is with the tethering of the dog in a back of a vehicle. He feels
that it would be over regulating the freedom of our constituents and those traveling through this
area. He thinks that it is inhumane to tie a dog up in the backyard but do we want to have a dog
tied up in the back of a vehicle because it is the City policy.
Mr. Rytman agrees with what Mr. Gordon stated on this issue.
Ms. Helt does not feel that this is an issue that really needs to be addressed. Even on the tethering
issue, she doesn’t understand where the Council stands on it. Right now there is no prohibition in
the current code related to tethering. She wants to know if the Council is going for a prohibition
against tethering or not to deal with tethering at all.
Discussion ensued relative to tethering.
Mr. Hayes states that it seems that the Council would agree to the tethering portion of the
ordinance but not to the tethering to the vehicle and to leave that to the responsibility of the
owner of the animal.
Ms. Helt asked that if Mr. Hayes was agreeing to the tethering portion as written. Because there
is no mention of a pulley system or alternatives to tethering a dog to a stationary object as
discussed.
Ms. Roy stated that the verbiage for that can be added.
Ms. Helt commented that from what she read it the ordinance would seem to not allow any type
of tethering.
Ms. Roy stated that the only tethering not allowed is the tethering to a stationary object.
Mr. Blocker addressed section 10-7 where it states that an owner cannot vaccinate their own
animals.
Ms. Roy stated that is correct because it is a state law.
5
Workshop 05/12/14
Packet Pg. 950
Mr. Blocker does not agree with that at all even if it is a state law.
Mr. Hayes then asked Council for direction or a consensus to the ordinance.
Mr. Blocker recommends to do away with the number of animals a person can own whether it be
a chicken, cat, pig or dog because there is legislation in place that dictates what one can do or
have on their property.
Mr. Hayes commented that there was a consensus to remove the number of animals from the
ordinance.
Mr. Gordon stated that in regards to tethering, he feels that to have a dog tied to a stationary
object is inhumane there has to be some source of opportunity for the Animal Control to come in
and care for the animal if the owner is not doing so. In that instance he agrees that there needs to
be a tethering policy.
Mr. Rytman commented that his main concern was the abuse to animals he does like the pulley
system idea and is for the tethering portion of the ordinance.
Mr. Hayes informed the City Clerk that the majority of the Council is in agreement with the
tethering portion of the ordinance.
Brian Hughes, 705 Ashley Drive, Crestview FL, wanted to congratulate the Council for resisting
the urge to legislate. Because it is so easy to be influenced to pass a law against something and
sometimes we don’t think the laws all the way through. He then gave an example of why items
need to be thought through.
Penny Crock, 310 Springwood Circle, Crestview FL, stated that she has owned up to fourteen
dachshunds in a small yard, top show dogs. I have introduced myself to every person and have
given them my personal information. She does not think tethering is good but if a dog jumps out
of a pick-up truck in front of her car she will try to miss the dog and may hit a person. She
believes restraint makes sense. A person will either take care of their dog or they won’t but
someone should be able to walk in when abuse is happening.
April Meier, 198 North Main Street, Crestview FL, had a question with Section 10-5, item
number two that deals with no domestic animals can trespass on school grounds. Which she
discussed this issue at the other Workshop concerning the Animal Ordinance. Dozier the
Therapy dog does go to the schools and Ms. Meier feels the issue needs to be addressed. She
then addressed the section that deals with having a dog for the physically handicap but not dogs
that are used for emotional therapy.
Ms. Roy stated that the section does state that the dog must trespass but if it is invited to the
school there is no issue.
Ken, Crestview FL, stated that he vaccinates his animals that include horses, dogs, rabbits,
chickens and other animals. There are many stores that sell the vaccinations and he did not see
6
Workshop 05/12/14
Packet Pg. 951
that it was against the law because to take the animals to the a Vet it would cost four times the
amount than the pack that is sold in stores.
Mr. Hayes instructed the Clerk to research to find a statute that regulates vaccinations.
Ms. Roy answered that it is possible that a person has to have a vet certificate to get a license.
Landrum B. Edwards, 587 East Brock Avenue, Crestview FL, stated that yesterday afternoon he
had a wild turkey in his yard and then he received a call from his neighbor asking him to quiet
his dog and when he did there was a possum in the tree. He asked who is going to come get the
possum out of the tree in the middle of the night. Mr. Edwards stated that he owned seventeen
dogs at one time and was certified from his Vet to perform vaccinations to his animals.
Thomas Simms, 426 Mara Drive, Crestview FL, stated that his concern is with chickens because
he lives in Countryview on a quarter acre lot. From his understanding the chickens can roam free
during the day in the lot. If that is done he cannot let his dog out because the dog will chase the
chickens. Would it be his responsibility to train his dog to what a chicken is? His dog chases
anything that comes in the yard, so since he can’t tether him what does he do.
Mr. Rytman stated that he would like to see the ADA compliance added to the ordinance.
Discussion ensued.
