The principal of, redemption premium, if any, and the interest on all such Bonds shall be payable from the General Fund or any other legally available funds of the City. The City shall levy and collect annually an ad valorem tax upon all taxable property in the City, over and above all other taxes author- ized to be levied by the City, sufficient to pay such principal, redemption premium, if any, and interest as the same become due and payable. AD VALOREM TAXATION Under State law, the assessment of all properties and the collection of all county, municipal and school board property taxes are consolidated in the office of the County Property Appraiser and County Tax Collector. Municipali- ties are not permitted to levy property taxes at a rate of more than 10 mills for all municipal purposes; however, there is no limitation as to the rate or amount of ad valorem taxes levied for the purpose of paying debt service on general obligation bonds. The laws of the State regulating tax assessment are designed to assure a consistent property valuation method statewide. Property Assessment Procedure Under Florida law, all taxable real property and tangible personal proper- ty must be assessed at fair market value, with some exceptions. Real and per- 3 sonal property valuations are determined each year as of January 1 by the Pro- perty Appraiser's office. The assessment roll is prepared between January 1 and July 1, with each taxpayer given notice of any increase in assessment. The property owner has the right to file an appeal with the Property Ap- praiser Adjustment Board, which considers petitions relating to assessments and exemptions. The Property Appraisal Adjustment Board certifies the assess- ment roll upon completion of the hearing of all appeals. Millage rates are then computed by the various taxing authorities and certified to the Property Appraiser, who applies the millage rates to the assessment roll. This proce- dure creates the tax roll, which is then turned over to the Tax Collector on or about the first Monday in October. The Florida Constitution entitles the taxable permanent residents of the State to a $25,000 homestead exemption. The Constitution does not limit or restrict the ability of the City to levy ad valorem taxes without limitation as to rate of amount for the purpose of paying debt service on its general obligation bonds.

A-4 I APPENDIX B GENERAL IMEMATION - CITr OF TAMARAC The following is a brief description of the City of Tamarac (the "City"), including certain information concerning its economy, governmental organiza- tion, indebtedness, current major revenue sources, expenditures and general fund. Except where otherwise noted, the information has been provided by the City. Created in 1963 by the Legislature of the State of Florida, the City occupies approximately 11.6 square miles in the northwestern portion of Broward County (the "County"), the second most highly populated county within the State. With its population of approximately 32,000 people, the City ranks 13th of 29 municipalities within the County. GDVJLNMF1rfAL STRUCTURE The City is governed largely by the provisions of its Charter as adopted by the electors of the City on March 9, 1976. Under the Charter, the five member City Council is the policy -making body of the City government. The City is divided into four districts, and each Council member is re- quired to reside in a different one of these districts. The Mayor who runs "at large" may live in any district. Electors vote for each Council seat and not just for the representative of the district in which they live. City Council members serve for two years. The Mayor and two Council members run for election in even numbered years and two Council members run in odd numbered years. The City has a City Manager form of government. The City Manager is appointed by the City Council as the Chief Administrative Officer of the City government. The City Manager directs the functions of the City government through 11 departments. Legal services of the City government are provided by the City Attorney, who is appointed by the City Council. The City Manager prepares and submits the annual budget and capital improvement program to the City Council and executes the budget and capital improvement program in accordance with appropriations and ordinances adopted by the City Council. The City Manager generally begins the budgetary process in March by preparing a letter of transmittal with specific instructions on general budgetary policy for departments. Each department then prepares and submits its proposed budget and in April internal meetings are held to review the aggregate budget. After approval by the City Manager, the tentative budget is submitted to the City Council which holds workshops in which the public is invited to participate. Following these workshops, public hearings are held where again public comment is solicited and considered. The City Council then adopts the budget prior to the end of September. The Council then determines the millage rate necessary to fund the budget. The general fund receives all of the general revenues of the City not specifically levied or collected on behalf of its various special funds.
