(Finance Director Roberts) Background Summary: At a previous regular meeting (July 18, 2023), the Commission approved the Public Private Partnership for the design and construction of a Police/Public Safety Training Facility. The cost of the facility is projected to be $12.8 million. The City, after discussion with our Financial Advisor, has determined that the best financing arrangement for the facility is to secure a 10-year note. Financing the facility allows the City to maintain a healthy general fund reserve and to capitalize on current investment rates (5.57%) which are higher than the interest inputted on the note (4.4%). The attached Capital Improvement Revenue Note Series 2024 was drafted by our Bond Counsel to facilitate the financing. Issue: Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve the issuance of the City of Ocoee Capital Improvement Revenue Note, Series 2024 Resolution for $10 million for the design, construction, and outfitting of a Police/Public Safety Training Facility?

The interest rate shall be subject to adjustment as described below, and is herein referred to as the 5 “Interest Rate,” calculated on a 360 day year consisting of twelve thirty (30) day months basis; provided, however, that the Interest Rate shall in no event exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law. (B) Adjustments to Interest Rate.

The Series 2024 Note is to be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, together with such non-material changes as shall be approved by the Mayor, following review by the City Manager, Finance Director and City Attorney, such approval to be conclusively evidenced by the execution thereof by the Mayor.

In case any one or more of the officers who shall have signed or sealed the Series 2024 Note or whose facsimile signature shall appear thereon shall cease to be such officer of the Issuer before the Series 2024 Note so signed and sealed has been actually sold and delivered, such Series 2024 Note may nevertheless be sold and delivered as herein provided and may be issued as if the person who signed or sealed such Series 2024 Note had not ceased to hold such office. The Series 2024 Note may be signed and sealed on behalf of the Issuer by such person who at the actual time of the execution of such Series 2024 Note shall hold the proper office of the Issuer, although, at the date of such Series 2024 Note, such person may not have held such office or may not have been so authorized. The Issuer may adopt and use for such purposes the facsimile signatures of any such persons who shall have held such offices at any time after the date of the adoption of this Resolution, notwithstanding that either or both shall have ceased to hold such office at the time the Series 2024 Note shall be actually sold and delivered. SECTION 8. Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Series 2024 Note; Persons Treated as Owner. The Series 2024 Note is initially registered to the Lender. So long as the Series 2024 Note shall remain unpaid, the Clerk will keep books for the registration and transfer of the Series 2024 Note. The Series 2024 Note shall be transferable only upon such registration books; provided, however, that the Series 2024 Note may be transferred only in whole and not in part and any such transfer shall be made only to an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Regulation D thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Resolution or in the Series 2024 Note shall be construed to prohibit the Lender from granting a participation or participations in the Series 2024 Note to any other bank or banks affiliated with the Lender or any subsidiary thereof. The Person in whose name the Series 2024 Note shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and payment of principal of and interest on such Series 2024 Note shall be made only to or upon the written order of the Owner. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Series 2024 Note to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. SECTION 9. Payment of Principal and Interest; Limited Obligation. The Issuer promises that it will promptly pay the principal of and interest on the Series 2024 Note at the place, on the dates and in the manner provided therein according to the true intent and meaning hereof and thereof. The Series 2024 Note shall not be or constitute a general obligation or indebtedness of the Issuer as a “bond” within the meaning of Article VII, Section 12 of the Constitution of the State of Florida, but shall be payable solely from the Pledged Revenues in accordance with the terms hereof. No holder of the Series 2024 Note issued hereunder shall ever have the right to compel the exercise of any ad valorem taxing power to pay such Series 2024 Note, or be entitled to payment of such Series 2024 Note from any funds of the Issuer except from the Pledged Revenues as described herein. 7 SECTION 10. Privately Negotiated Loan. The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that the Lender is purchasing the Series 2024 Note in evidence of a privately negotiated loan and in that connection the Series 2024 Note shall not be (i) assigned a separate rating by any municipal securities rating agency, (ii) registered with The Depository Trust Company or any other securities depository, (iii) issued pursuant to any type of offering document or official statement or (iv) assigned a CUSIP number by the CUSIP Service Bureau. SECTION 11. Covenant to Budget and Appropriate. (A) The City covenants to budget and appropriate in each such Fiscal Year such amount of Non-Ad Valorem Revenues sufficient to provide for the timely payment of the principal of and interest on the Series 2024 Note and any other amounts required to be paid thereunder. Subject to the next paragraph, the City covenants and agrees and has a positive and affirmative duty to appropriate in its annual budget, by amendment, if necessary, from Non-Ad Valorem Revenues, and to deposit into the Debt Service Fund (defined below), amounts sufficient to pay the principal of, and interest on the Series 2024 Note as the same shall become due. Such covenant and agreement on the part of the City to budget, appropriate and deposit such amounts of Non-Ad Valorem Revenues shall be cumulative to the extent not paid, and shall continue until such Non-Ad Valorem Revenues or other legally available funds in amounts sufficient to make all such required payments shall have been budgeted, appropriated, deposited and actually paid. The City further acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of the City to include the amount of such amendments in each of its annual budgets and to budget and pay such amounts from Non-Ad Valorem Revenues may be enforced in a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the remedies set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision of this Resolution to the contrary, the City does not covenant to maintain any services or programs now maintained by the City which generate Non-Ad Valorem Revenues or to maintain the charges it presently collects for any such services or programs. Until such monies are budgeted, appropriated and deposited as provided herein, such covenant to budget and appropriate does not create any lien upon or pledge of such Non-Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it preclude the City from pledging in the future its Non-Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it require the City to levy and collect any particular Non-Ad Valorem Revenues. Such covenant to budget and appropriate Non-Ad Valorem Revenues is subject in all respects to the prior payment of obligations secured by a pledge of such Non-Ad Valorem Revenues heretofore or hereafter entered into (including the payment of debt service on bonds and other debt instruments). Anything in this Resolution or the Series 2024 Note to the contrary notwithstanding, it is understood and agreed that nothing herein shall compel the City to maintain or continue any of the activities of the City which generate user service charges, regulatory fees, or any other Non-Ad Valorem Revenues. Until such monies are budgeted, appropriated and deposited as provided herein, the obligations of the City hereunder shall not be construed as a pledge of or a lien on all or any Non-Ad Valorem Revenues of the City, but shall be payable solely as provided herein subject to the availability of Non-Ad Valorem Revenues after satisfaction of funding requirements for obligations having an express lien on or pledge of such revenues, payment of services and programs which are for essential public 8 purposes affecting the health, welfare and safety of the inhabitants of the City, and subject to the provisions of Section 166.241, Florida Statutes. The City does hereby create and establish the City of Ocoee, Florida, Capital Improvement Revenue Note, Series 2024 debt service fund (the “Debt Service Fund”). The City shall deposit all Non-Ad Valorem Revenues budgeted and appropriated for payment of debt service on the Series 2024 Note or any other obligations of the City arising thereunder into the Debt Service Fund before the date such amounts are needed to pay the principal, interest, or other obligations coming due on the Series 2024 Note. The Owner of the Series 2024 Note shall not have a lien on the Non-Ad Valorem Revenues until such Non-Ad Valorem Revenues are deposited in the Debt Service Fund. This Resolution and the Series 2024 Note do not constitute a lien or encumbrance on the 2024 Project or on any other real or personal property of the Issuer. (B) During such time as this Series 2024 Note is outstanding which is secured by the Pledged Revenues, the Issuer agrees and covenants with the Owner not to issue additional debt payable from such Pledged Revenues unless the debt service coverage, calculated in accordance with the formula below, exceeds 1.25:1.0 for the preceding twelve (12) months. The Issuer agrees that, as soon as practicable upon the issuance of additional debt by the Issuer which is secured by the Pledged Revenues, it shall deliver to the Owner a certificate setting forth the calculations of the financial ratios provided in this Section 11 and certifying that it is in compliance with the provisions of this Section 11. The debt service coverage formula shall be calculated as follows: [Total General Fund Revenues – Ad Valorem Revenues (General Fund) + funds deposited into the General Fund from Enterprise Funds for payment of General Government & Public Safety Expenditures (General Fund] - [Current General Government Expenditures (General Fund) + Current Public Safety Expenditures (General Fund) – Current General Government & Current Public Safety Expenditures paid from Ad Valorem (General Fund] Maximum Annual Debt Service for both the Existing and Proposed Debt payable from Non-Ad Valorem Revenues For purposes of calculating the foregoing, if any non-self-supporting revenue debt bears a rate of interest that is not fixed for the entire term of the non-self-supporting revenue debt (excluding any provisions that adjust the interest rate upon a change in tax law or in the tax treatment of interest on the debt or upon a default), then the interest rate on such non-self- supporting revenue debt shall be assumed to be the highest of (x) the average rate of actual interest borne by such non-self-supporting revenue debt during the most recent complete month prior to the date of calculation, (y) for tax-exempt non-self supporting revenue debt, The Bond Buyer Revenue Bond 30-Year Index last published in the month preceding the date of calculation plus one percent, or (z) for taxable non-self-supporting revenue debt, the yield on a U.S. Treasury 9 obligation with a constant maturity closest to but not before the maturity date of such non-self- supporting revenue debt, as reported in Statistical Release H.15 of the Federal Reserve on the last day of the month preceding the date of issuance of such proposed non-self-supporting revenue debt, plus three percent, provided that if the Issuer shall have entered into an interest rate swap or interest rate cap or shall have taken any other action which has the effect of fixing or capping the interest rate on such non-self-supporting revenue debt for the entire term thereof, then such fixed or capped rate (for the applicable notional amount of non-self-supporting revenue debt) shall be used as the applicable rate for the period of such swap or cap, and provided further that if The Bond Buyer Revenue Bond 30-Year Index or Statistical Release H.15 of the Federal Reserve is no longer available or no longer contains the necessary data, such other comparable source of comparable data as selected by the Owner shall be utilized in the foregoing calculations. For the purpose of calculating the foregoing, “balloon indebtedness” (as defined in the immediately succeeding sentence) shall be assumed to amortize over 20 years in substantially equal annual payments at its fixed interest rate and, if the interest rate is not fixed, at the rate calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. “Balloon indebtedness” is any non-self- supporting revenue debt, twenty percent (20%) or more of the principal amount of which comes due in any single Fiscal Year. As used above, the term “non-self-supporting revenue debt” shall not include any debt payable from revenues of a utility. SECTION 12. U.S. Patriot Act. The Issuer represents and warrants to the Lender that it is not a person named as a Specially Designated National and Blocked Person (as defined in Presidential Executive Order 13224) and that it is not acting, directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of any such person. The Issuer further represents and warrants to the Lender that, to its knowledge, the Issuer is not directly or indirectly, engaged in, nor facilitating, the transactions contemplated by this Resolution on behalf of any person named as a Specially Designated National and Blocked Person. SECTION 13. Role of Lender. The Issuer understands and acknowledges that the Lender and its representatives are not registered municipal advisors and do not provide advice to municipal entities or obligated persons with respect to municipal financial products or the issuance of municipal securities (including regarding the structure, timing, terms and similar matters concerning municipal financial products or municipal securities issuances) or engage in the solicitation of municipal entities or obligated persons for the provision by non-affiliated persons of municipal advisory services and/or investment advisory services. With respect to this Resolution and the Series 2024 Note and any other information, materials or communications provided by the Lender: (a) the Lender and its representatives are not recommending an action to any municipal entity or obligated person; (b) the Lender and its representatives are not acting as an advisor to any municipal entity or obligated person and do not owe a fiduciary duty pursuant to Section 15B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to any municipal entity or obligated person with respect to this Resolution, information, materials or communications; (c) the Lender and its representatives are acting for their own interests; and (d) the Issuer has been informed that the Issuer should discuss this Resolution and the Series 2024 Note and any such other information, materials or communications with any and all internal and external advisors 10 and experts that the Issuer deems appropriate before acting on this Resolution or any such other information, materials or communications. SECTION 14. Payment of Costs of Issuance. The Finance Director is hereby authorized to pay the costs of issuance of the Series 2024 Note from a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Series 2024 Note. SECTION 15. Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the City and the Lender irrevocably and voluntarily waives any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any controversy or claim between the City and the Lender, whether arising in contract or tort or by statute, including but not limited to any controversy or claim that arises out of or relates to the Proposal, the Series 2024 Note or this Resolution. This provision is a material inducement for the Lender’s determination to purchase the Series 2024 Note and for the parties to enter into the transaction contemplated by the Proposal. SECTION 16. Amendment. This Resolution shall not be modified or amended in any respect subsequent to the issuance of the Series 2024 Note except with the written consent of the Owner of the Series 2024 Note. SECTION 17. Limitation of Rights.

SECTION 18. Series 2024 Note Mutilated, Destroyed, Stolen or Lost. In case the Series 2024 Note shall become mutilated, or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Issuer shall issue and deliver a new Series 2024 Note of like tenor as the Series 2024 Note so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost, in exchange and in substitution for such mutilated Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Series 2024 Note destroyed, stolen or lost and upon the Owner furnishing the Issuer proof of ownership thereof and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and complying with such other reasonable regulations and conditions as the Issuer may prescribe and paying such expenses as the Issuer may incur. The Series 2024 Note so surrendered shall be canceled. SECTION 19. Impairment of Contract. The Issuer covenants with the Owner of the Series 2024 Note that it will not, without the written consent of the Owner of the Series 2024 Note, enact any ordinance or adopt any resolution which repeals or impairs this Resolution or the Series 2024 Note in any manner adverse to the Owner the rights granted to the Owner of the Series 2024 Note hereunder.
