standing obligations issued under this Resolution and all parity obliga—
tions, if any, then outstanding, and (iii) on the parity obligations

(2) Upon recommendation of the consulting engineers,
historical net revenues from the facilities may be adjusted for purposes
of this section by including: (i) 100% of the additional net revenue
which in the opinion of.the consulting engineer would have been
derived by the Issuer from rate increases adopted before the additional
parity obligations are issued, if such rate increase had been
implemented before the commencement of such fiscal year; and (ii) 1000
of the future annual net revenues estimated by the consulting engineer
to be derived during the first full twelve -month period after comple-
tion from facilities to be constructed or acquired from the proceeds

• such facilities to connect with and use such facilities within ninety
(90) days after notification that service is available. The Issuer
will not grant a franchise for the operation of any competing
water system until all obligations issued hereunder together with
the interest thereon have been paid in full.

consulting engineers in an advisory capacity, to inspect the facilities
annually and to make reports and recommendations with respect thereto

additions and improvements thereto. Upon request of any obligation
holder, a copy of each such annual report shall be mailed, postpaid,
to said obligation holder and a copy thereof shall remain on file with
the Village Clerk for public inspection.
R. SUPERVISORY PERSONNEL. The Issuer, in operating the
facilities, will employ or designate one of its qualified employees
as a manager who has demonstrated ability and experience in operating
similar, facilities, and will require all employees who may have
possession of money derived from the operation of the facilities to'
be covered by a fidelity bond, written by a responsible indemnity
company in amounts fully adequate to protect the Issuer from loss.
S. RATES AND CHARGES. The Issuer will enact a rate ordinance
and thereby will fix, establish and maintain such rates and will
collect such fees, rentals or other charges for the services and
facilities of the facilities and revise the same from time to time
whenever necessary, or upon the recommendations of the consulting
engineers, as will always provide revenues sufficient to pay (i) the
operation and maintenance expenses of the facilities, (ii) effective

constitute trust funds for such purposes and there is hereby created
a lien upon such money until so applied in favor of the holders of
the obligations.

engineers, who will certify such facts in writing to the governing
body of the Issuer.

The above and foregoing cause came on for final hearing
on the date and at the time and place set forth in the Order to
Show Cause heretofore issued by this Court and in the notice
addressed to the State of Florida and the several property owners,
taxpayers and citizens of the Village of Tequesta, Florida, (here-
inafter called "plaintiff "), including non - residents owning property
or subject to taxation therein and all others having or claiming
anv right, title or interest in property to be affected by the
issuance by the plaintiff, of not exceeding $365,000 Water Revenue
Certificates, Series 1975 (hereinafter called "obligations") here-
inafter more particularly described, or to be affected in any way
thereby, as heretofore issued against the State of Florida on complaint
of the plaintiff, David H. Bludworth, State Attorney, having filed
an answer herein, this cause having duly come on for final hearing,
and the Court having considered the same, heard the evidence and
•
being fully advised in the premises, finds as follows, that:

was, a duly and legally organized and existing political subdivi-
sion of the State of Florida, created and incorporated under the
provisions of the Constitution and the Laws of the State of Florida.
2. Plaintiff, in and by Chapter 166, Florida Statutes,
is authorized to relocate existing water lines to accoiminodate the
part of the water
v,ic?ening of U. S. Highway 1, such lines being a
system of the plaintiff (hereinafter called "facilities "), pursuant
to the recommendations of the consulting engineers on file with the
• plaintiff (hereinafter called "project ").
3. Authority is conferred upon said plaintiff by the
Constitution and Laws of the State of Florida, particularly such
Chapter 166, to issue the obligations to finance the cost of the
project and to pledge the net revenues derived from the operation
of the facilities and of the investment income derived from the
investment of money on hand in the Sinking Fund and Reserve Account
to the payment of such obligations and the interest thereon.
4. It is necessary for the continued preservation of the
health, welfare, convenience and safety of the plaintiff and its
inhabitants to construct and acquire the project, and it is essential
,that same be accomplished in accordance with the provisions of that
certain resolution adopted on December 23, 1975 (hereinafter called
"Resolution ") which said Resolution authorizes the issuance of the
obligations, hereinafter more particularly described.
5. Pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of
the Constitution and Laws of Florida, plaintiff, by such Resolution
authorized and provided for the issuance of the obligations dated
January 1, 1976, in the denomination of $5,000 each, numbered
consecutively from one upward, maturing and bearing interest at such
rate or rates as hereinafter set forth, for the purpose of financing
the cost of the project, all of which appears and is more fully set
forth in the certified copy of the Resolution heretofore filed herein.
6. The estimated net revenues to be derived from the
operation of the facilities will be sufficient to pay the amount to
become due in each fiscal year for the payment of the principal of
and interest on the obligations herein referred to.
7. The obligations shall be payable as to both principal
and interest solely from the net revenues derived from the operation
of the -facilities and of the investment income derived from the
i Ves mP 2nt of moneys on hand In Sin Fund and Reserve Account
therein. The obli- gations will not constitute an indebtedness of the
plaintiff within the meaning ofE a::.- statutory lim.iLation and no
-2-
or holders of any of the obligations or any coupons appertaining
thereto shall ever have the right to compel the exercise of the ad
valorem taxing power of the plaintiff to pay the obligations or the
interest thereon or to make any of the reserve, sinking fund or other
payments provided for in the Resolution. The obligations shall not
constitute a lien upon the facilities except upon the revenues derived
from the operation of the facilities.
8. The obligations are not "bonds" within the meaning
of the Constitution of Florida, and are not required by the Constitutioi
and Statutes to be approved at an election.
9. The plaintiff, pursuant to the Constitution and Laws
of the State of Florida, has the power and is authorized, and in the
Resolution has covenanted, at all times, to fix, establish and maintain
sufficient rates and collect such fees, rentals or other charges for
the services of the facilities and to revise the same from time to
time whenever necessary, as will always provide revenues in each
year sufficient to pay (i) all costs of operation and maintenance
of the facilities in such year, (ii) effective on October 1, 1976,
for the 1976 -77 fiscal year, 115% of the.maximum Annual Debt Service
Rec1 i? ement -(as defined in the Resolution) coming due in any ensuing
fiscal year on the Outstanding 1967 Certificates, the certificates of
this issue, and any additional parity obligations then outstanding;
(iii) effective on October 1, 1977, for the 1977 -78 fiscal year,
120° of such maximum Annual Debt Service Requirement; (iv) effective
on October 1, 1978, for the 1978 -79 fiscal year and thereafter, 125%
of such maximum Annual Debt Service Requirement, and (v) in all years,
1006 of all reserve and other payments provided for in such Resolution
and in the ordinance authorizing the Outstanding 1967 Certificates
and that such rates, rentals, fees or other charges shall not be
reduced so as to be insufficient to provide revenues for such pur-
pose. Such covenant is legal and valid in all respects.
10. The lien of the obligations on the net revenues of the
facilities will be junior and subordinate in all respects to the lien
thereon of certain outstanding Water_ Revenue Certificates of plaintiff,
da - d July 1, 1967.

such years, but not later than 2005, and in amounts to be fixed by

rate permitted by law, principal and semi - annual interest (January 1
and July 1) callable as provided in said Resolution, is for a proper
public, legal and corporate purpose and is fully authorized by law,
and that the obligations and each of them to be issued as aforesaid
and all proceedings incident hereto are hereby validated and con-
firmed. The obligations are to be issued to finance the cost of
the project. The obligations as and when so issued, will be payable
from and secured by a lien upon and a pledge of the net revenues
derived from the operation of the facilities of the plaintiff and
of' the investment income derived from the investment of moneys on
hand in the Sinking Fund and Reserve Account therein. However, the
lien on the obligations on such revenues is junior and subordinate
in all respects to the lien thereon of said Water Revenue Certificates
of plaintiff dated July'l, 1967, in the manner and under the terms
and conditions contained in the Resolution.
There shall be stamped or written on the back of each of
said obligations, a statement in substantially the following form:
This Certificate is one of a series of
Certificates which were validated and
confirmed by judgment of the Circuit
Court for Palm Beach County, Florida
rendered on March , 197.6.
