of its Multifamily Mortgage Revenue Bonds for Gibson Center for the purpose of
Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986

As outlined in the enclosed memorandum from the Housing Finance Authority of Miami-Dade County (HFA), the attached resolution authorizes the HFA to issue Revenue Bonds (Bonds) in one or more series in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $7,000,000 for the construction of the Gibson Center (Project).

The principal and interest on the Bonds shall not constitute a debt, liability or a general obligation of the HFA, County, the State of Florida or any political subdivision of each, but shall be the responsibility of the owner of the Project.

As stipulated in Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Code), the Board of County Commissioners, as the highest governing body, must approve the issuance of the Bonds by the HFA as required by the Code after a public hearing. The public hearing was held by the HFA and such public hearing disclosed no reason why the Bonds should not be issued.

The Bonds are expected to be issued by March 2013.
