RESOLUTION NO. 499
A RESOLUTION BY THE CITY CCUMISSION OF THE CITY OF SANFORD, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING
THE REFUNDING OF SAID CITY'S OUTSTANDING BONDED INDEBTEDNESS AND THE REFUNDING OF JUDGMENTS
SECURED THEREON BY THE ISSUANCE OF REFUNDING BONDS.
WHEREA P, The CITY OF SANFORD, FLORIDA, has outstanding valid indebtedness
hereinafter more particularly described, aggregating the principal amount of FIVE
BILLION NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND ( $5,900,OOO.00) upon which unpaid interest has accrued,
and additional interest_thereAn will continue to accrue; and
WHEREAS, a considerable part of such indebtedness has matured, and the balance
thereof and additional accruals of interest thereon will mature in such amounts and
at such times as to impose upon said City of Sanford too great a burden for it to meet,
and it is in the interest of the City and its creditors that such indebtedness be
readjusted and refunded; and,
WHEREAS, such indebtedness was incurred prior to January 1, 1933, and the holders
thereof, by virtue of the laws in existence at the time of incurring such indebtedness,
have the legal right to require that taxes for the payment thereof be levied on all
property subject to taxation by said City at the time such indebtedness was incurred,
including homesteads exempted from taxation by the amendment ratified November 6, 1934,
adding Section 7 to Article 10 of the Constitution of Florida, and to require the
collection of such taxes in cash at the time and in the same manner as other taxes
levied by the City, and to otherwise enforce their claims and the security therefor
independently of any restrictions or limitations upon the enforcement thereof
enacted by the State Legislature since January 1, 1933, and while nearly all of
such creditors are willing to extend the maturity of their claims and agree to a
reduction in interest thereon, nevertheless they are not willing to so readjust and
refund their claims unless the refunding obligations issued in exchange therefor
have the same security and are entitled to the same remedies and rights of en-
forcement as existed prior to January 1, 1933, and now appertain to said outstanding
claims; and
WHEREAS, in order to permit of a readjustment and refunding that will be
acceptable to its creditors, the City deems it advisable and necessary to authorize
the issuance of refunding bonds under such terms and conditions as will preserve to the
holders thereof the rights, security and remedies now available to them as holders
of the City's present outstanding indebtedness:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Commission of the City of
Sanford, Florida:
SECTION 1. It is hereby found and determined that prior to January 1, 1933,
the following described obligations of the City of Sanford, Florida, were duly
issued for various municipal purposes, and now constitute valid and legally binding

tendered at a lower price, if any. In the event there are insufficient moneys in the sink-
ing fund for either issue to purchase all of the refunding bonds offered by any tender
otherwise acceptable, the City may accept any part of such refunding bonds so tendered,
The City, at its option, may require all tenders of refunding bonds to be accompanied by a cei
tified check of not exceeding one Percent ( 1 %)of the amount of refunding bonds so tendered,

funds for the purchase of refunding bonds if and while it may be in default in the payment of
interest on any refunding bonds authorized by this resolution, unless tenders thereof
shall have been accepted prior to such default, and then it may purchase only the bonds

payment date should occur within a period of time, less than that for which notice of
redemption must be given, plus fifteen ( lj) days, such moneys will be held as special

(a) To insure the prompt and full payment of interest on the Refunding Bonds,
Series A. aid to provide a sinking fund.for the payment or redemption thereof, a tax
shall be levied for each year beginning with the year in which the Refunding Bonds, Series
A. are issued, in an amount sufficient to raise a sum at least equal to the interest
which will fall due in the ensuing year, if fifty percent ( 50%) of the levy is collected
in the ensuing fiscal year, If, however, at the time the levy is made for any year,
the percentage of collections for the immediately preceding fiscal year, is less than
fifty percent ( 50) of the levy, the tax levy for the year for which the levy is to be
made, shall be sufficient, assuming a rate of collection no higher than the preceding year,
to produce in cash the amount required for interest on said refunding bonds. The proceeds
of such taxes shall be paid into a special fund and used solely-for the payment of interest
on said refunding bonds, except that all moneys in such fund in excess of the interest
requirements of the refunding bonds for the fiscal year for which the taxes were levied,
shall be paid into a sinking fund. Moneys so paid into the sinking fund shall be applied
exclusively to the retirement of Refunding Bonds, Series A, by purchase, call or payment
in the manner herein provided. For the fiscal year in which the rufunding Bonds , Series A.
shall mature, the City shall levy a tax in such an amount as shall be sufficient, together
with any sinking funds then in hand, to pay such bonds at their maturity. Notwithstanding
any of the other provisions of this resolution, the City, so long as it_is not in default in
the payment of the principal of or interest on said Refunding Bonds, Series A, shall not be
required to levy for debt service on said bonds during the fiscal years 1937 -1939, 1939 -1939,
1939 -1940 and 1940 -1941, a sum in excess of $97,500.00. Beginning with the fiscal year
1941 -1942, taxes shall be levied for debt service in accordance with the terms of this
resolution, it being the intention of this resolution that the tax levy for debt service
1el
when 100% collected, will provide for the payment of interest on the Refunding Bonds, Series A
together with at least an equal amount for ptincipal retirement, subject, however, to the
foregoing provisions with regard to percentage of collectibility.
(b) In addition to the pledge of unlimited ad valorem taxes for the payment of
Refunding Bonds, Series B, as set forth above, sufficient of the net earnings of the water
plant of the City to pay interest on said bonds is hereby pledged to that purpose, and in
addition thereto an amount of said net earnings equal to one percent (1 %) of the present
amount of bonds to be refunded with Refunding Bonds, Series B, now outstanding, shall annually
be deposited in a. sinking fund and employed only for the purchase or call of said Series B
bonds in the manner provided in sub - sections (a), (b) and (e) of Section5 hereof. In the
event the net earning of the water plant of the City shall exceed the amount required in
and by this sub- paragraph, such surpbus shall be deposited in the sinking fund for said
Series B Bonds, provided, however, that upon the amendment of the City's charter, so as
to authorize such city to use such surplus as part of the City's operating fund, said
surplus may be so used. In the event the net earnings of said water plant in any
year after the fiscal year 1936 -1937, are less than $17,750.00, the City shall levy a
tax in the succeeding year to cover such deficiency, assuming a rate of collection ho
higher than in the preceding year. Such levy shall be in addition to and over and
above the tax levy for debt service, provided for in sub - paragraph (a) of this section.
