the date first above written.
1. Upon the terms and conditions and upon the basis of the
representations hereinafter Set forth, the Underwriters, jointly
and severally, hereby agree to purchase from the City, and the
City hereby agrees to sell to the Underwriters, all (but not less

less an original issue discount in the amount of $1,167,250) plus
accrued interest thereon (calculated on the basis of a 360-day
year) from August 1, 1986 to the date of payment for and delivery
of such Bonds (the "Closing"). Terms not otherwise defined here-
in shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Official
Statement for the Bonds.
2. The Bonds shall be as described in and shall be issued
pursuant to a resolution adopted by the City on October 7, 1985,
as supplemented and amended by subsequent resolution adopted by
the City on the date hereof (collectively, the "Resolution").
The Bonds are being issued to provide funds for various expan-
sions and improvements to the City's Water System and Sewer
System (collectively the "System").
3. Pursuant to this Bond Purchase Agreement, it shall be a
condition of your obligation to sell simultaneously all of the
Bonds to the Underwriters and the obligation of the Underwriters
to purchase all of the Bonds; that the entire $16,975,000 aggre-
gate principal amount of the Bonds shall be delivered by you and
accepted and paid for by the Underwriters at the Closing.
4. You hereby acknowledge receipt of a certified or offi-
cial bank cashiers check payable to your order for $169,750
being one percent (1%) of the principal amount of the Bonds. If
you accept this offer, you agree to hold said check uncashed
until the Closing as security for~the performance by the Under-
writers of their obligation to accept and pay for the Bonds at
the Closing, and in the event of their compliance with such obli-
gation, to return said check to the Underwriters at the Closing.
If you do not accept this offer, such check shall be immediately
returned to the Managing Underwriter. In the event of your
failure to deliver the Bonds at the Closing, or if you shall be
unable at or prior to the date of the Closing to satisfy the con-
ditions of the obligations of the Underwriters contained herein,
or if the obligations of the Underwriters shall be terminated for
any reason permitted by this Bond Purchase Agreement, such check
shall be immediately returned to the Managing Underwriter. If
the Underwriters fail (other than for a reason permitted hereun-
der) to accept and pay for the Bonds upon tender thereof by you
at the Closing as herein provided, such check may be retained by
you as and for full liquidated damages for such failure and for
any and all defaults hereunder on the part of the Underwriters,
and the retention of such amount shall constitute a full release
and discharge of all claims and damages for such failure and for
any and all such defaults. The Underwriters understand that in
such event your actual damages may be greater or may be less than
such sum. Accordingly, the Underwriters hereby waive any right
to claim that your actual damages are less than such sum, and
your acceptance of this offer shall constitute a waiver of any
right you may have to additional damages from the Underwriters.

necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

templated offering prices, by the Underwriters of the Series 1986
Bonds to be purchased by them.

1933, or any laws analogous thereto relating to governmental
bodies, and compliance therewith cannot be accomplished prior to
the Closing.

the contemplated offering prices, by the Purchasers of the Series
1986 Bonds to be purchased by them; or trading in any securities
of the City shall have been suspended on any national securities
exchange; or any proceeding shall be pending or threatened by the

FORM OF OPINION OF CITY ATTORNEY
, 1986
City Commission
City of Sanford, Florida
William R. Hough & Co.
Smith Barney, Harris Upham & Co. Incorporated
Southeastern Municipal Bonds, Inc.
Bryant, Miller & Olive, P.A.
Sirs:
We are City Attorneys to the City of Sanford, Florida (the
"City") and as such, have acted as Counsel for the City in con-
nection with the issuance and sale of $ aggregate
principal amount of the City's Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds,
Series 1986 (the "Series 1986 Bonds"). All terms not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the
Bond Purchase Agreement, dated as of July , 1986, by and be-
tween you and the City.
For the purpose of rendering this opinion, we have examined
the Constitution andlaws of the State of Florida, a transcript
of proceedings of the City relating to the authorization and
issuance of the Series 1986 Bonds, and such other records, cer-
tificates and documents as we have considered necessary to render
this opinion. Based upon such review, we are of the opinion
that:
1. The City is a municipal corporation of the State of
Florida, duly created and existing under and by virtue of the
Constitution and laws of the State of Florida.
2. The City had and has good right and lawful authority
under the Constitution and laws of the State to adopt the Resolu-
tion and to authorize and issue the Bonds; the Resolution has
been duly adopted by the City, is presently in full force and
effect and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the City
enforceable in accordance with its terms as part of its contract
with the several holders of the Bonds; and the holders of the
Bonds may either at law or in equity, by suit, mandamus or other
proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction, protect,
enforce or compel the performance of all the duties required
under the applicable Resolution, except to the extent that the
enforceability thereof may be limited by any applicable
Page Two
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the enfor-
cement of creditors' rights generally.
3. The City has authorized, executed and delivered the Offi-
cial Statement.
4. We have participated in the preparation of the Official
Statement and in that connection, have participated in conferen-
ces with and have generally reviewed and discussed with the offi-
cers and staff of the City, with Counsel to the City, with the
Consulting Engineers for the City, with Bond Counsel and with the
Underwriters and their counsel, the information and statements
contained in the Official Statement. While we have not verified
the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements con-
tained in the Official Statement, based upon our examination of
the documents mentioned above and our participation in the con-
ferences mentioned above, no facts have come to our attention
which lead us to believe that the Official Statement as of the
date thereof and at all subsequent times up to and including the
date hereof (except with respect to the Engineer's Report and
summaries thereof and references thereto, and the financial and
statistical information contained in the Official Statement as to
which no view is expressed), contained or contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a
material fact necessary to make the statement therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
5. The Bond Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by the City and constitutes a legal, valid
and binding obligation of the City, enforceable in accordance
with its terms; provided, however, that no representation is made
concerning compliance with the registration requirements of
Federal Securities Laws or the securities or Blue Sky Laws of the
various states.
6. To the best of our knowledge, neither the City's execu-
tion and delivery of the Bond Purchase Agreement and the Series
1986 Bonds, the City's adoption of the Resolution, nor the con-
summation of the transactions contemplated thereby and by the
Official Statement conflicts with or constitutes a breach of or
default under, or will conflict with the laws of the State of
Florida, federal law, or the City's ordinances and resolutions or
any administrative rule or regulation, judgment, decree, order,
license, permit, agreement or instrument to which the City is a
party or by which the City or any of its properties are bound.

7. The pending litigation against the City by Seminole
County challenging two annexation proceedings of the City could
have an adverse effect on future annexations by the City. We are
unable to determine at this time what effect, if any, the outcome
of these suits will have on the number of additional customers
the City will be able to add to the Water and Sewer System
through annexation.
8. Except as may be set forth in the Official Statement, to
the best of our knowledge, there is no action, suit or pro-
ceeding, or any inquiry or investigation by or before any court,
governmental agency, public board or body pending or threatened
against the City, which (a) affects or questions the existence of
the City, (b) affects or seeks to~prohibit, restrain or enjoin
the issuance, sale or delivery of the Series 1986 Bonds or the
use of the Official Statement, (c) affects or questions the vali-
dity of the Bonds, the Resolution or the Bond Purchase Agreement,
(d) questions the completeness or accuracy of the Official State-
ment, (e) affects or questions the power or authority of the City
to own, operate and maintain the System or establish, revise,
levy and collect rates, fees or other charges for the use and
services of the System, or (f) questions the powers of the City
to carry out any other of the transactions contemplated by the
Official Statement, the Resolution or the Bond Purchase Agree-
ment, nor is there any basis therefor.
9. The Bonds have been duly validated in accordance with
Chapter 75, Florida Statutes and the time for appeal has expired
without an appeal having been taken.
10. The City's Ordinance No. 1784, effective November 11,
1985, adopting a revised schedule of water and sewer service
charges is in full force and effect and has not been repealed,
amended or supplemented.
11. The City has good and proper title to the Water System
and Sewer System (collectively the "System") as described in the
Resolution and the Official Statement, and except as disclosed in
the Official Statement, to the best of our knowledge, the City's
System is not in violation in any respect of the State Department
of Environmental Regulation and Federal Environmental Protection
Laws, which could materially adversely affect the operations or
financial condition of the System; and no material pertinent spe-
cial or general state law has been adopted since the adjournment
of the 1986 Regular Session of the Florida Legislature which
affects or would affect the issuance, payment or legality of the
Bonds or the interest thereon, the power of the City to collect
Page Four
and apply the revenues pledged to the payment of said Bonds, the
power or authority of the City to own and operate the System,
including the power to acquire, construct or operate the projects
and facilities described in the Official Statement relating to
the Bonds or the City's power or authority to fix, revise and
collect rates, fees and other charges in connection with the
distribution and sale of water from or collection and disposal of
wastewater by the System.
Very truly yours,
Stenstrom, McIntosh, Julian,
Colbert & Whigham, PoA.

Re: City of Sanford, Florida
Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 1986
Gentlemen:
We have examined the balance sheets of the Water and Sewer Sys-
tems Fund for the City of Sanford, Florida (the "City") as of
September 30, 1985 and the related statements of revenue and
expense, retained earnings and changes in financial position for
the years then ended.
We have reviewed the balance sheets of the Water and Sewer Fund
of the City of Sanford, Florida as of May 31, 1986 and the
related statements of revenue and expense, changes in retained
earnings, and changes in financial position for the eight months
then ended, in accordance with standards established by the
'American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
A review consists principally of inquiries of City personnel and
analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substan-
tially less in scope than an examination in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements
taken as a whole.

Such financial statements and our reports with respect thereto
are included as Appendix B to the Official Statement of the City
in connection with the public sale by the City of the above-
captioned bonds. In connection with the Official Statement:
1. We are independent public accountants with respect to the
City within the meaning of the Rules of Conduct and related in-
terpretations of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American
Institute of Certified Public AccQuntants.
2. We have not examined any financial statements of the
City's Water and Sewer Fund as of any date or for any period sub-
sequent to September 30, 1985. The purpose (and therefore the
scope) of our examination for the year ended September 30, 1985,
was to enable us to express our opinion on the financial state-
ments at September 30, 1985, and for the year then ended, but not
on the financial statements as of or for any period subsequent
thereto.
3. For purposes of this letter, we have read the minutes of
the City Commission of the City of Sanford, Florida from Septem-
ber 30, 1985 to , 1986 as set forth in the minute
books, officials of the City having advised us that the minutes
of all such meetings through , 1986 were set forth
therein (our work did not extend to the period August__, 1986
through August __, 1986, inclusive).
4. The procedures carried out by us with respect to changes
in financial statement items after September 30, 1985 are as
follows:
We have read the monthly financial reports of the Water and
Sewer Systems Fund of the City of Sanford, Florida through
, 1986 and made inquiries of certain officials
· of the City who have responsibility for financial and accounting
matters as to whether: (i) there was any material change at
, 1986 in the reserves and retained earnings or
long term debt of the Water and Sewer Systems or any decrease in
net current assets or net assets, all as compared with
corresponding amounts as of September 30, 1985, (ii) for the
period from September 30, 1985 through May 31, 1986 and sub-
sequently, from May 31, 1986 to August __, 1986, there was any
material decrease as compared with the corresponding period in
the preceding year, in gross revenues or net revenues of the
William R. Hough & Co.
Gray, Harris and Robinson, P.A.
Bryant, Miller and Olive, P.A.
Page Three
City's Water and Sewer System, or (iii) there has occurred any
other change in the financial position or results of operation of
the System that could materially adversely affect the operations
of or financial condition of the System. On the basis of these
inquiries and our reading of the minutes as described in para-
graph three, nothing came to our attention that caused us to
believe that there was any such material changes or decrease
except in all instances for material changes or decreases which
the Official Statement discloses have occurred or may occur.
5. Our examination of the financial statements for the
period referred to in the introductory paragraph of this letter
was comprised of audit tests and procedures deemed necessary for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on such financial statements
taken as a whole. For neither the period referred to therein nor
any other period did we perform audit tests for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on individual balances of accounts or sum-
maries of selected transactions such as those enumerated above,
and accordingly, we express no opinion thereon.
6. We have received a copy of the Official Statement
related to the above-captioned financing. We acknowledge that
our report addressedto the City, dated , 1986, is,
included as Appendix B. To the extent our name is used in the
Official Statement, we hereby consent thereto.
7. We have read the information contained in the Offici~
Statement related to the above-captioned financing under the
heading "Purpose of the Series 1986 Bonds", the table captioned
Historical Statement of Net Income and have compared the infor-
mation for the Fiscal Years ended September 30, 1981 through 1985
with the audited and unaudited financial statements or accounting
records of the City from which such information was derived and
have found such information to be in agreement with such audited
and unaudited statements or such other accounting records.
8. This letter is solely for the information of, and assist-
ance to, the City and its Financial Consultant in conducting and
documenting an investigation of the affairs of the City in con-
nection with the sale of the securities covered by the Official
Statement and is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise
referred to within or without the underwriting group for any

other purpose, including but not limited to the purchase or sale
of securities, nor is it to be filed with or referred to in whole
or in part in the Official Statement or any other documents,
except that reference may be made to it in a purchase contract or

securities covered by the Official Statement.

FORM OF LETTER OF CONSULTING ENGINEERS
August , 1986
William R. Hough & Co.
Smith Barney, Harris Upham & Co., Inc.
Southeastern Municipal Bonds, Inc.
Gentlemen:
We are independent consulting engineers to the City of San-
ford, Florida (the "City"). In connection with the City's pro-
posed water and wastewater facilities program and the issuance by
the City of $ aggregate principal amount of Water
and Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 1986 (the "Series 1986 bonds"),
we have participated in various proceedings relating thereto.
All terms not otherwise defined in this letter have the same
meaning ascribed to those terms in the Bond Purchase Contract,
dated July __, 1986, between you and the City.
For the purpose of rendering this opinion, we have read the
latest available financial statements and interim financial
statements of the City, consulted with officers of the City
responsible for financial, operational and other matters, and have
followed other procedures which we have deemed necessary under
the circumstances. Based upon the above procedures, we are of
the opinion that:
1. Nothing has come to our attention as of August 20, 1986
which would cause our firm to believe that the statements, pro-
jections and tables in the Official Statement relating to the
System (including the information under the headings "The
System", "Rates, Fees and Charges", "Water and Sewer Capital
Improvements Program", "Historical Statement of Net Income" and
"Projected Revenue, Expenses, Debt Service and Coverage" and our
Feasibility Report attached thereto as Appendix C) contained any
untrue statement of a material fact required to be stated therein
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the cir-
cumstances under which they were made not misleading in any
material respect.
2. The accuracy of the revenue projections contained in the
Official Statement in the table captioned "Projected Revenues,
Expenses, Debt Service, and Coverage" and in our Feasibility
Report attached as Appendix C will not be substantially affected
by the outcome of the pending litigation against the City by
William R. Hough & Co.

Seminole County challenging the annexation by the City of two
parcels of land in Seminole County.
We consent to the inclusion of our Feasibility Report as an
appendix to the Official Statement for the Series 1986 Bonds and
the description of and reliance on us as experts in our field.
