 2613         Section 9.Authority of district with respect to roads,
 2614  bridges, street lighting, etc.—
 2615         (1)The district shall have the powers, and shall be
 2616  entitled to the benefits and privileges under law, of special
 2617  road and special road and bridge districts. The district shall
 2618  have the right and power to own, acquire, open, extend, close,
 2619  vacate, abandon, construct, reconstruct, replace, expand,
 2620  contract, limit, pave, operate, improve, regulate, and maintain
 2621  highways, streets, roads, bridges, alleys, sidewalks,
 2622  promenades, boardwalks, tunnels, interchanges, underpasses,
 2623  overpasses, causeways, storm drains, and public thoroughfares of
 2624  all kinds and descriptions that are located within and are owned
 2625  and controlled by the district (hereinafter collectively and
 2626  severally referred to as “public roads”) and connections to and
 2627  extensions of any and all existing public roads within the
 2628  district deemed necessary or convenient by the board of
 2629  supervisors to provide access to and from and efficient
 2630  development, redevelopment, preservation, protection, or
 2631  enforcement of the real property within the district; to
 2632  regulate and control the use, encroachments in, upon, over, and
 2633  under, and the obstruction thereof; to erect, maintain, and from
 2634  time to time change the location of traffic control devices and
 2635  signs and street signs; and to construct and maintain sidewalks
 2636  and street lights along public roads and access ways and
 2637  elsewhere in the district as may from time to time be deemed
 2638  appropriate by the board of supervisors adequately to service
 2639  the district and its residential, park, recreational,
 2640  commercial, and industrial areas. The district has no authority
 2641  to take by eminent domain or otherwise acquire, or to prohibit
 2642  or regulate, any federal or state roadway or other
 2643  transportation facility without the consent of, respectively,
 2644  the Federal Highway Administration or the State Department of
 2645  Transportation.
 2646         (2)The district shall have the right and authority to
 2647  contract with and franchise public or private persons to own,
 2648  acquire, open, extend, close, vacate, construct, pave, operate,
 2649  maintain, and improve public roads on such terms with respect to
 2650  construction, maintenance, operation, and restrictions on the
 2651  use of the public roads as the district may determine to be
 2652  appropriate. No private toll road franchised by the district and
 2653  no private road connected to or an extension of any state or any
 2654  other public road within the district shall, by reason of such
 2655  connection with a public road, and when not otherwise dedicated
 2656  to the use of the public, constitute or be deemed a public road.
 2657  Without limiting the district’s authority to use ad valorem
 2658  taxes and other unencumbered collected fees and revenues within
 2659  the district, the district may use ad valorem taxes and other
 2660  unencumbered collected fees and revenues to provide funding for
 2661  public road projects, rail projects, and other regional
 2662  transportation projects outside of the district’s boundaries
 2663  provided that such projects are within Orange County or Osceola
 2664  County; improve a street, road, highway, interstate, or rail
 2665  system that abuts or crosses into or through the district; serve
 2666  or benefit the property owners in the district as determined by
 2667  the board; and are performed, operated, governed, managed, or
 2668  appropriated by the state or its agencies, Orange County, or
 2669  Osceola County. Ad valorem taxes and other fees and revenues
 2670  directed to projects under this subsection may not exceed 5
 2671  mills per annum on the assessed value of the taxable property
 2672  within the district. For purposes of this subsection, the
 2673  reference to 5 mills is a limitation on annual spending
 2674  authority under this subsection and is not to be construed as
 2675  authority to impose ad valorem taxes in excess of the total
 2676  limit on ad valorem taxes under section 24.
 2677         (3)The board of supervisors shall have the right and
 2678  authority to sell or lease any public road to the State
 2679  Department of Transportation, enter lease-purchase agreements
 2680  with respect thereto with the State Department of
 2681  Transportation, and contract with the same for the construction,
 2682  maintenance, regulation, or operation of any public road, on
 2683  such terms and conditions as the board and the State Department
 2684  of Transportation may agree. The State Department of
 2685  Transportation is authorized and empowered to purchase or lease
 2686  any public road from the district, enter lease­purchase
 2687  agreements with respect to the same, and construct or maintain
 2688  any road within the district pursuant to such agreement with the
 2689  board of supervisors. The cost of any road acquired, leased, or
 2690  constructed by the State Department of Transportation may be
 2691  defrayed in whole or in part out of the gasoline tax funds
 2692  accruing to the State Department of Transportation for use in
 2693  Orange and Osceola Counties, as the case may be, under the
 2694  provisions of s. 16, Art. IX of the State Constitution (1885),
 2695  as incorporated by s. 9(c), Art. XII of the State Constitution
 2696  (1968), ss. 206.41 and 206.60, Florida Statutes, and any other
 2697  laws of the state with respect to the application of taxes
 2698  levied upon gasoline, special fuels, or other like products.
 2699         Section 10.State regulations.—The district shall be
 2700  subject to state agency permitting, regulation, and oversight in
 2701  accordance with general law except to the extent specifically
 2702  stated otherwise in this act, including, without limitation, the
 2703  Florida Commission on Ethics, Department of Economic
 2704  Opportunity, Department of Revenue, Department of Financial
 2705  Services, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and
 2706  Department of Environmental Protection. Any permit or
 2707  governmental approval in good standing as of the effective date
 2708  of this act shall continue in full force and effect until
 2709  completed, expired, revised, or revoked as provided by general
 2710  law or this act.
 2711         Section 11.Ethics and open government.—The district and
 2712  its public officers and employees are subject to part III of
 2713  chapter 112, Florida Statutes, the Code of Ethics for Public
 2714  Officers and Employees; however, the board of supervisors may
 2715  enact and enforce an ethics code that is more stringent than
 2716  general law. The district is subject to and shall comply with
 2717  chapter 119, Florida Statutes, the Public Records Act. The
 2718  district is subject to and shall comply with s. 189.015, Florida
 2719  Statutes, and chapter 286, Florida Statutes.
 2720         Section 12.Preemption.—The district shall not have
 2721  authority to adopt and enforce any resolution, code, or
 2722  regulation on a subject that is expressly preempted to the state
 2723  by general law unless otherwise expressly stated in this act.
 2724         Section 13.Exercise by district of powers within counties,
 2725  municipalities, and political subdivisions.—The district shall
 2726  have the power to exercise any of its rights, powers,
 2727  privileges, and authorities in any and all portions of the
 2728  district lying within the boundaries of Orange County, Osceola
 2729  County, the City of Bay Lake, the City of Lake Buena Vista, and
 2730  any other municipal corporation or other political subdivision,
 2731  heretofore or hereafter created or organized, the boundaries of
 2732  which lie wholly or partly within the geographic limits of the
 2733  district, to the same extent and in the same manner as in areas
 2734  of the district not incorporated as part of a county,
 2735  municipality, or other political subdivision. With respect to
 2736  any county, municipal corporation, or other political
 2737  subdivision the boundaries of which lie partly within and partly
 2738  outside the geographic limits of the district, the district
 2739  shall have the power to exercise its rights, powers, privileges,
 2740  and authorities only within the portion of such county,
 2741  municipal corporation, or other political subdivision lying
 2742  within the boundaries of the district, except as otherwise
 2743  provided in section 14. In the event of a conflict between the
 2744  provisions of this act and the powers of the district herein
 2745  provided for and the provisions of any charter or law, now or
 2746  hereafter enacted or adopted, establishing or pertaining to any
 2747  county, municipal corporation, or other political subdivision
 2748  the boundaries of which lie wholly or partly within the
 2749  district, the provisions of this act shall control in the
 2750  portion of such county, municipal corporation, or other
 2751  political subdivision which lie within the geographic limits of
 2752  the district, unless such other enactment of state law
 2753  specifically limits, repeals, supersedes, or amends this act. To
 2754  the extent any code, ordinance, rule, policy, or regulation of
 2755  such county, municipal incorporation, or other political
 2756  subdivision conflicts with or is inconsistent with this act,
 2757  this act controls.
 2758         Section 14.Furnishing facilities and services within
 2759  district territory.—
 2760         (1)The district shall have the power to construct,
 2761  maintain, and operate its projects within the geographic limits
 2762  of the district, including any portions of the district located
 2763  inside the boundaries of any county, incorporated municipality,
 2764  or other political subdivision, and to offer, supply, and
 2765  furnish the facilities and services provided for in this act to,
 2766  and to collect fees, rentals, and other charges from, persons,

 2769  within the geographic limits of the district, and for the use of
 2770  the district itself.
 2771         (2)(a)For any project that the district is currently
 2772  constructing as of, or has constructed prior to, the effective
 2773  date of this act, outside the geographic limits of the district,
 2774  the district may continue to complete, operate, and maintain
 2775  such projects and charge and collect fees, rents, charges, or
 2776  other revenues on such projects subject to any terms and
 2777  conditions of applicable agreements that may exist.
 2778         (b)On or after the effective date of this act:
 2779         1.The district shall not construct any project outside of
 2780  the geographic limits of the district, except upon the consent,
 2781  approval, or certification of any regulatory agency, the state,
 2782  or the governing body of any county, municipality, or other
 2783  political subdivision thereof in which the project is located.
 2784         2.The district may offer, furnish, or supply facilities
 2785  and services outside of the geographic limits of the district;
 2786  however, if consent, approval, or certification of any
 2787  regulatory agency, the state, or the governing body of any
 2788  county, municipality, or other political subdivision thereof is
 2789  required by law such consent, approval, or certification must be
 2790  obtained.
 2791  
 2792  Subject to such approval, the district may charge and collect
 2793  fees, rents, charges, or other revenues on such projects.
 2794         Section 15.Mandatory use of certain district facilities

 2799  facilities, flood control facilities, water and sewer systems,
 2800  and waste collection and disposal systems of the district.
 2801  Subject to such exceptions as may be provided by the
 2802  resolutions, rules, or bylaws of the board of supervisors, and

 2805  drainage and reclamation facilities, flood control facilities,
 2806  water and sewer systems, or waste collection and disposal
 2807  systems shall be constructed or operated within the district

 2809  plans and specifications therefor.
 2810         Section 16.Maintenance of projects across rights-of-way.
 2811  The district shall have the power to construct and operate its
 2812  projects in, on, along, across, through, or under any streets,
 2813  alleys, highways, or other public places or ways, and across any
 2814  drain, ditch, canal, floodway, holding basin, excavation,
 2815  railroad right-of-way, track, grade, fill, or cut. However, just
 2816  compensation shall be paid by the district for any private
 2817  property taken or damaged by the exercise of such power to the
 2818  extent required by law. For properties owned by the state or the
 2819  Federal Government, the consent of the state or the Federal
 2820  Government, as applicable, shall be required for the district to
 2821  construct and operate the district project or projects within
 2822  the state-owned or federally owned properties and facilities.

 2830  including, but not limited to, drainage facilities, water and
 2831  sewer systems, waste collection and disposal systems, and other
 2832  public utilities, and to recover the costs of making connection

 2834         (2)No such rates, fees, rentals, fares, or other charges
 2835  for any of the facilities or services of the district, other
 2836  than parking facilities and parking meters, shall be fixed until
 2837  after a public hearing at which all the users of the proposed
 2838  facility or services or owners, tenants, or occupants served or
 2839  to be served thereby and all other interested persons have an
 2840  opportunity to be heard concerning the proposed rates, fees,

 2843  rentals, fares, and other charges shall be published as provided
 2844  in chapter 50, Florida Statutes, at least 10 days prior to such
 2845  public hearing, which may be adjourned from time to time. After

 2857  charges may be made in the same manner as the same were
 2858  originally established, as hereinabove provided, except that if
 2859  such changes or revisions are made substantially pro rata as to
 2860  all classes of the type of service involved, no notice or
 2861  hearing shall be required.

 2974  exercise jurisdiction or control over any of the projects of the
 2975  district. Subject to the limitations of and as may be otherwise

 3051  MUNICIPALITIES.—The district must exercise its authority set
 3052  forth in this act to adopt, amend, and enforce a comprehensive
 3053  plan in accordance with the Community Planning Act, ss.
 3054  163.3161-163.3253, Florida Statutes, and adopt and enforce

 3087  and facilities, water supply wells and drainage wells, and such
 3088  other safety or sanitary codes as the board of supervisors may
 3089  determine to be necessary. The jurisdiction and power of the
 3090  board provided for herein shall be exclusive of the Florida
 3091  Building Code and the Florida Fire Prevention Code, provided
 3092  that any such codes adopted by the district are at least
 3093  equivalent to the minimum standards in the Florida Building Code

 3095  (10). With respect to buildings and structures existing, under
 3096  construction, or permitted prior to the effective date of this
 3097  act, the board of supervisors may determine whether retrofit
 3098  improvements will be necessary to conform with, in whole or in
 3099  part, current code standards, and the board of supervisors may
 3100  grant waivers to current code standards concerning such
 3101  buildings and structures.

 3108  or such other officer or agency as the board may designate, and
 3109  to prescribe the procedure with respect to the obtaining of such
 3110  permit.
 3111         (d)Provide for the manner in which such comprehensive
 3112  general plans, codes, regulations, and restrictions shall be

 3114  supplemented, changed, or repealed, as the board of supervisors
 3115  may determine, with notice and public hearing as required by
 3116  law.
 3117         (e)Review, process, and comment on and approve, approve
 3118  with conditions, or reject applications for development orders
 3119  and building permits pertaining to properties within the

 3122         (5)RECORDING OF PLATS.—
 3123         (a)Whenever land in the district is platted into lots,
 3124  blocks, parcels, tracts, or other portions, however designated,
 3125  a plat thereof shall be recorded in the public records of Orange
 3126  County or Osceola County, as the case may be. No such plat shall
 3127  be recorded either as an independent instrument or by attachment
 3128  to another instrument entitled to record unless and until it is
 3129  first approved by the board of supervisors. Plats approved by
 3130  the board of supervisors and recorded in the public records of
 3131  Orange County or Osceola County must meet the minimum
 3132  requirements of and be consistent with part I of chapter 177,
 3133  Florida Statutes. Any plat recorded in violation of this section
 3134  shall be invalid and subject to expungement.
 3135         (b)The board of supervisors shall be authorized and
 3136  empowered to prescribe, as prerequisites to the approval for
 3137  record of any plat or plats of lands within the district, the
 3138  width and location of roads, streets, alleys, thoroughfares, and
 3139  ditches and setback therefrom; to adopt and prescribe rules and
 3140  regulations to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this
 3141  act; to prescribe specifications and requirements for
 3142  regulations relating to the construction of roads, streets,
 3143  alleys, and drainage facilities, minimum lot sizes, maximum
 3144  block sizes, building lines, names of streets and roads, bridge
 3145  construction, water supply, sewage disposal, and other related
 3146  matters involving lands to be platted; to prescribe information
 3147  to be shown on plats, including, without limitation, parks,
 3148  recreation areas, and open spaces; and to require the furnishing
 3149  to the board of supervisors of a good and sufficient bond
 3150  conditioned upon the completion of the drainage, sewage,
 3151  streets, roads and alleys, and other improvements shown on the
 3152  plat within such time or times as may be required by the board,
 3153  and such bond shall be approved by the board.
 3154         (c)The board of supervisors is further granted the
 3155  authority and discretion to waive the platting and recording of
 3156  land into lots, roads, blocks, parcels, tracts, or other
 3157  portions, however designated, in any instance in which the board
 3158  determines that the dividing or subdividing of the land without
 3159  a recorded plat is not injurious to the public health, safety,
 3160  comfort, convenience, and welfare of the inhabitants of the
 3161  district.
 3162         (6)VACATING OF PLATS.—
 3163         (a)Plats or integrated portions or parcels of land
 3164  heretofore or hereafter platted within the district may be
 3165  vacated upon the resolution of the board of supervisors upon
 3166  such terms and conditions as the board may prescribe by
 3167  regulation. Such regulation may require, inter alia, the payment
 3168  of all taxes and assessments and the redemption from all
 3169  outstanding tax sales, and the dedication to the public of all
 3170  roads, streets, alleys, and other thoroughfares, however
 3171  designated.
 3172         (b)Upon approval by the board of supervisors of the
 3173  recording of a plat or the vacating of a plat or portions
 3174  thereof, the approval or consent to such recording or vacating
 3175  shall not be required of any other body, authority, or agency of
 3176  Orange County or Osceola County or any political subdivision
 3177  thereof.
 3178         (7)SUBDIVISION OF LANDS.—
 3179         (a)In addition to and not in limitation of any of the
 3180  other powers of the board of supervisors under this act,
 3181  whenever land in the district is to be subdivided, the proposed
 3182  plan for subdivision and use of the land shall be presented to
 3183  the board for its approval in accordance with the standards and
 3184  provisions of this act and in accordance with any rules and
 3185  regulations that may be adopted by the board. The board of
 3186  supervisors shall have the power to adopt subdivision
 3187  regulations providing:
 3188         1.Requirements for general information concerning existing
 3189  conditions and proposed developments as a prerequisite to the
 3190  approval of subdivision plans or plats. This information may
 3191  include, without limitation, data on existing covenants, land
 3192  characteristics, community facilities, and utilities and
 3193  information describing the subdivision proposal, including maps
 3194  and reports presenting the number of residential lots, typical
 3195  lot width and depth, price range, business areas, playgrounds,
 3196  park areas and other open areas, proposed protective covenants,
 3197  and proposed utilities, drainage, and street improvements.
 3198         2.For proper density of population and intensity of use
 3199  and the lengths, widths, and shapes of blocks and lots.
 3200         3.That streets in proposed subdivisions, including streets
 3201  bordering on proposed subdivisions, shall be of specified widths
 3202  and grades and so located as to accommodate prospective traffic
 3203  to serve proposed subdivisions adequately, afford adequate light
 3204  and air, facilitate fire protection, and provide access for
 3205  firefighting equipment to buildings.
 3206         4.That such streets be properly arranged, coordinated, and
 3207  integrated with existing or planned streets, roads, or highways.
 3208         5.That adequate easements or rights-of-way shall be
 3209  provided for drainage and all utilities.
 3210         6.That the layout and design of proposed subdivisions
 3211  shall conform to a comprehensive plan adopted by the board of
 3212  supervisors for the area and to measures adopted to implement
 3213  the comprehensive plan.
 3214         7.The dedication or reservation of land for streets.
 3215         8.The extent to which grounds which are to be used for
 3216  public purposes other than streets shall be dedicated or
 3217  reserved as a condition precedent to approval of any subdivision
 3218  or plat.
 3219         9.That such parks, playgrounds, sites for public building,
 3220  or other areas designated for public use shall be of suitable
 3221  size and location for their designated uses.
 3222         10.The conditions prerequisite to subdivision and
 3223  development of lands subject to seasonal or periodic flooding.
 3224         11.The manner in which and the extent to which streets,
 3225  sidewalks, water, sewer, and other utility connections or mains,
 3226  piping, and any other necessary physical improvements shall be
 3227  installed, and the specifications therefor, as conditions
 3228  precedent to final approval of the subdivision plan.
 3229         12.The requirements of covenants as a prerequisite to
 3230  subdivision plan approval.
 3231         13.That sufficient and suitable monuments shall be placed
 3232  to enable the survey of the subdivision or any part thereof to
 3233  be retraced.
 3234         14.The numbering and naming of streets and the providing
 3235  of street signs.
 3236         (b)Subdivision regulations may further provide that the
 3237  board shall not approve any subdivision plan or plat unless it
 3238  finds after full consideration of all pertinent data that the
 3239  subdivision can be served adequately and economically with such
 3240  normal public facilities and services as are suitable in the
 3241  circumstances of the particular case.
 3242         (c)Subdivision regulations may further require as a
 3243  prerequisite to the approval of a subdivision plan that:
 3244         1.All required improvements shall be installed in accord
 3245  with the provisions of the subdivision regulations or amendments
 3246  thereto; or
 3247         2.A surety bond be executed by a company authorized to do
 3248  business in the state which is satisfactory to the board of
 3249  supervisors, payable to the district in sufficient amount to
 3250  ensure the completion of all required improvements, and provides
 3251  for and secures to the public the actual construction and
 3252  installation of such improvements within a period required by
 3253  the board and expressed in the bond. The board is hereby granted
 3254  the power to enforce such bonds by resort to legal and equitable
 3255  remedies. As an alternative to the provision of a surety bond,
 3256  such regulations may also provide for the deposit of cash in an
 3257  escrow account whereby the board or its agent is put in an
 3258  assured position to provide the required improvements.
 3259         (8)VARIANCES AND WAIVERS.—
 3260         (a)Where the board of supervisors finds that extraordinary
 3261  hardships may result from strict compliance with its regulations
 3262  concerning subdivision and platting, it may vary the regulations
 3263  so that substantial justice may be done and the public interest
 3264  secured, provided that such variation will not have the effect
 3265  of nullifying the intent and purpose of the comprehensive
 3266  general plan or the regulations of the board.
 3267         (b)The regulations of the board of supervisors may further
 3268  provide that the standards and requirements set out in the
 3269  regulations may be modified by the board in the case of a plan
 3270  and program for a new town which comes under the provisions of
 3271  this act, a complete community, or a neighborhood unit, which,
 3272  in the judgment of the board, provides adequate public spaces
 3273  and improvements for the circulation, recreation, light, air,
 3274  and service needs of the tract when fully developed and
 3275  populated, and which also provides such covenants or other legal
 3276  provisions as will ensure conformity with and achievement of the
 3277  comprehensive plan of the board. In granting any such
 3278  modifications, the board of supervisors may require such
 3279  reasonable conditions and safeguards as will secure
 3280  substantially the objectives of the standards or requirements so
 3281  modified.
 3282         (c)The board of supervisors may waive any or all of the
 3283  requirements of this section and the rules and regulations
 3284  adopted thereunder if it is determined upon the plans and data
 3285  submitted by the subdivider that compliance with this section is
 3286  not required because said plan or plat does not conflict with or
 3287  nullify the intent and purpose of this act. If a waiver is
 3288  granted, compliance with this section shall not be required as
 3289  long as the plan, plat, and use of the land upon which the
 3290  waiver is granted is not altered, changed, or modified by the
 3291  subdivider or subsequent owner. In granting variances and
 3292  modifications, the board of supervisors may require such
 3293  conditions as will in its judgment secure substantially the
 3294  objectives of the standards or requirements so varied or
 3295  modified.
 3296         (9)ZONING; PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION; ZONING BOARD OF
 3297  ADJUSTMENT.—In addition to and not in limitation of the

 3311  houses, and any and all other purposes; the location, size, and
 3312  plan of parks and recreational areas, schools, school sites,
 3313  churches, cemeteries, burial places, commercial and industrial
 3314  facilities, public and private utilities, traffic, parking
 3315  facilities, and drainage and water control facilities; and to
 3316  appoint inspectors.
 3317         (b)Adopt regulations to prohibit or control the pollution
 3318  of air and water, and require electrical power,
 3319  telecommunications, and other utility lines, cables, pipes, and
 3320  ducts to be placed underground.
 3321         (c)Divide the district into zones or districts of such
 3322  number, shape, and area as the board of supervisors deems best
 3323  suited to carry out the purposes of this section, and within and
 3324  for each such district make regulations and restrictions as
 3325  provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b). All such regulations
 3326  shall be uniform throughout each district, but the regulations
 3327  in one district may differ from those in another district.
 3328         (d)Provide for the manner in which zoning regulations and
 3329  restrictions and the boundaries of zones and districts shall be
 3330  determined, established, and enforced and from time to time
 3331  amended, supplemented, or repealed.
 3332         (e)In appropriate cases, and subject to such principles,
 3333  standards, rules, conditions, and safeguards as may be provided
 3334  by regulation, make special exceptions to the terms of the
 3335  zoning regulations and restrictions in harmony with their
 3336  general purpose and intent, and authorize variances from the
 3337  strict application of the regulations and restrictions in such
 3338  situations and subject to such limitations as may be provided by
 3339  regulation.
 3340         (f)Establish a Planning and Zoning Commission; prescribe
 3341  the powers, duties, and functions of such Planning and Zoning
 3342  Commission, the requirements for membership on the commission,

 3344  the rules and procedure to be followed in proceedings before or
 3345  involving the commission and as to all other matters affecting
 3346  the organization and functioning of the commission; and appoint
 3347  the members thereof. The board of supervisors may by regulation

 3349  of the administrative duties, powers, and functions of the board
 3350  with respect to zoning as may be provided in such regulation.
 3351         (g)Hear and decide appeals from any order, requirement,
 3352  decision, or determination of the Planning and Zoning Commission
 3353  or by any administrative official in connection with any zoning
 3354  matter, hear and decide requests for special exceptions from the
 3355  terms and provisions of any planning or zoning regulation or
 3356  restriction, and grant variances from the terms of any planning
 3357  or zoning regulation or restriction in appropriate cases. The
 3358  board of supervisors may by regulation provide for a Zoning
 3359  Board of Adjustment to discharge any or all of the foregoing
 3360  administrative functions and duties, prescribe the requirements
 3361  for membership on the Zoning Board of Adjustment, the term or
 3362  terms of office, the rules and regulations for all proceedings
 3363  before or involving such Zoning Board of Adjustment and as to
 3364  all other matters affecting the organization and functioning of
 3365  the Zoning Board of Adjustment, and appoint the members thereof.
 3366         (10)EQUIVALENT STANDARDS.—Any regulations adopted pursuant
 3367  to the provisions of this section relating to safety, health,
 3368  sanitation, or building safety shall prescribe standards at
 3369  least equivalent to the minimum standards in applicable
 3370  statewide regulations protecting the general safety and welfare
 3371  of the public.
 3372         Section 24.Ad valorem taxes.—The board of supervisors
 3373  shall have the power to levy and assess an ad valorem tax on all
 3374  the taxable real and tangible personal property in the district
 3375  to pay the principal of and interest on any general obligation
 3376  bonds of the district, to provide for any sinking or other funds
 3377  established in connection with any such bonds, and to finance
 3378  and defray the cost of any of the projects or activities of the
 3379  district authorized by the provisions of this act or under law,
 3380  provided that the district’s ad valorem taxing authority shall
 3381  be limited to serving or benefitting the property owners of the
 3382  district. The total amount of such ad valorem taxes levied in
 3383  any year shall not be in excess of 30 mills on the dollar per
 3384  annum on the assessed value of the taxable property within the
 3385  district. The ad valorem tax provided for herein shall be in
 3386  addition to county and municipal ad valorem taxes provided for
 3387  by law.
 3388         Section 25.Maintenance taxes.—In addition to the ad
 3389  valorem taxes authorized by section 24, the board of supervisors
 3390  is authorized to levy and assess a maintenance tax as provided
 3391  for in s. 298.54, Florida Statutes, and amendments thereto, in
 3392  an amount not to exceed the maximum rate therein provided, and
 3393  in addition thereto, a special ad valorem maintenance tax on all
 3394  of the taxable real and tangible personal property in the
 3395  district, at a rate not exceeding 10 mills on the dollar per
 3396  annum, for the purpose of defraying any of the costs and
 3397  expenses of the district, including, but not limited to,
 3398  maintenance, repair, and operation of the projects of the
 3399  district, costs incurred in connection with the financing of
 3400  district projects, and costs of administration.
 3401         Section 26.Determining property values for ad valorem tax
 3402  purposes.-Ad valorem taxes of the district shall be based on the
 3403  county assessed valuation of the real and personal property
 3404  subject to such district ad valorem taxes.
 3405         Section 27.Utility tax.—
 3406         (1)The district shall have the right, power, and authority
 3407  by resolution of the board of supervisors to impose, levy, and
 3408  collect on each and every purchase of electricity, metered or
 3409  bottled gas (natural, liquified, petroleum gas or manufactured),
 3410  water service, or telecommunications service in its geographic
 3411  limits a tax (straight percentage, sliding scale, graduated, or
 3412  other basis) in an amount not to exceed 10 percent of the
 3413  payments received by the seller of such utility service from the
 3414  purchaser for the purchase of such utility service. However, the
 3415  sale of natural gas to a public or private utility, including
 3416  municipal corporations and rural electric cooperative
 3417  associations, either for resale or for use as fuel in the
 3418  generation of electricity or other forms of power, shall not be
 3419  deemed to be a utility service, and purchases thereof under such
 3420  circumstances shall not be taxable hereunder. In every case, the
 3421  tax shall be collected from the purchaser of such utility
 3422  service and paid by such purchaser for the use of the district
 3423  to the seller of such utility service at the time of the
 3424  purchaser paying the charges therefor to the seller.
 3425         (2)It shall be the duty of every seller of such utility
 3426  service, in acting as a tax collection medium or agency for the
 3427  district, to collect from the purchaser, for the use of the
 3428  district, any tax imposed and levied by resolution of the board
 3429  of supervisors pursuant to this section, and to report and pay
 3430  over to the board, or such other body or officer as the board
 3431  may designate, all such taxes imposed, levied, and collected in
 3432  accordance with the accounting and other provisions of the
 3433  resolution of the board. Any such resolution may provide that
 3434  federal, state, county, and municipal governments and their
 3435  commissions and agencies, other tax-supported bodies, public
 3436  corporations, authorities, boards and commissions, and churches
 3437  and other charitable organizations shall be exempt from the
 3438  payment of the taxes imposed and levied thereby. In the event
 3439  any such resolution imposes such a tax on the purchase of one of
 3440  the utility services described herein and a competitive utility
 3441  service or services are purchased in the district, then such
 3442  resolution shall impose a tax in like amount on the purchase of
 3443  the competitive utility service or services whether privately or
 3444  publicly owned or distributed. However, telecommunications
 3445  service or other forms of communication shall not be required to
 3446  be considered competitive services.
 3447         (3)Any tax levied pursuant to this section shall be
 3448  separate and in addition to all other taxes, whether levied in
 3449  the form of excise, license, or privilege taxes.
 3450         (4)Any person, firm, or corporation furnishing such
 3451  utility service and required to collect any such tax which
 3452  refuses to collect the tax or any portion thereof shall be
 3453  liable for and pay the tax.
 3454         (5)Each person, firm, or corporation furnishing such
 3455  utility service to users in the district may be required by
 3456  resolution of the board of supervisors to keep accurate records
 3457  of the number of such users, the amount of tax collected, and
 3458  such other information as the board may require, and to submit
 3459  periodic reports of the same to the district or its agent for
 3460  collection, together with remittance of the tax. The board of
 3461  supervisors may prescribe the form of report and fix a date upon
 3462  which the report and tax shall be due.
 3463         (6)For the purpose of compensating the person, firm, or
 3464  corporation furnishing utility services hereunder for the
 3465  keeping of records prescribed and proper accounting and
 3466  remission, the board of supervisors is authorized to allow a
 3467  credit in an amount set by the board to be deducted from the
 3468  amount of the tax submitted.
 3469         Section 28.Determining annual installments of drainage
 3470  taxes.—The board of supervisors shall determine, order, and levy
 3471  the amount of the annual installments of the total taxes levied
 3472  under s. 298.36, Florida Statutes, and amendments thereto, which
 3473  shall become due and be collected during each year.
 3474         Section 29.Collection of ad valorem taxes; tax discounts.—
 3475         (1)The levy by the board of supervisors of the taxes
 3476  authorized by or referred to in sections 24 and 25 shall be by
 3477  resolution of the board entered upon the minutes of the board.
 3478  Certified copies of such resolution executed in the name of the
 3479  board by its chair, or such other officer as the board may
 3480  designate, under its corporate seal, shall be made and delivered
 3481  to the respective Boards of County Commissioners of Orange and
 3482  Osceola Counties not later than June 15 of each year in which
 3483  said taxes are levied. It shall be the duty of the respective
 3484  County Commissioners of Orange and Osceola Counties to order and
 3485  require the respective county property appraisers of said
 3486  counties to assess, and the respective county tax collectors of
 3487  said counties to collect, the amount of taxes so assessed or
 3488  levied by the board of supervisors upon the taxable property
 3489  within the district not exempt by law, at the rate of taxation
 3490  adopted by the board of supervisors for such year, and to
 3491  include in the warrant of the property appraisers and attach to
 3492  or show the same on the assessment roll of taxes for such year.
 3493  The tax collectors shall collect such taxes so levied by the
 3494  board of supervisors in the same manner as other taxes are
 3495  collected and shall pay the same to the board of supervisors
 3496  within the time and in the manner prescribed by law for the
 3497  payment by the tax collector of county taxes to the county
 3498  depository. The respective county tax collectors shall include
 3499  and state separately on the official county tax bill and receipt
 3500  each year the amount of district taxes. For their services
 3501  rendered hereunder, the respective county property appraisers
 3502  and tax collectors shall be compensated by the district as
 3503  prescribed by s. 298.401, Florida Statutes, and amendments
 3504  thereto.
 3505         (2)The ad valorem taxes referred to and provided for in
 3506  section 24 and the maintenance and special ad valorem
 3507  maintenance taxes referred to and provided for in section 25
 3508  shall be subject to the same discounts as county taxes. None of
 3509  the other taxes referred to or provided for in this act or
 3510  chapter 298, Florida Statutes, shall be subject to discounts for
 3511  early payment unless the board of supervisors so provides by
 3512  resolution adopted at the time of the levying or assessment
 3513  thereof. Except as otherwise provided in this act, all taxes
 3514  remaining unpaid after April 1 of the year following that for
 3515  which said taxes are levied shall be and become delinquent and
 3516  bear a penalty of 2 percent a month on the amount of said taxes
 3517  from the date of delinquency until paid. In computing said
 3518  penalty, each fractional part of a month shall be counted as a
 3519  full month.
 3520         Section 30.Tax liens; service charge liens.—
 3521         (1)All taxes of the district provided for in this act or
 3522  chapter 298, Florida Statutes, together with all penalties for
 3523  default in the payment of the same and all costs in collecting
 3524  the same, including reasonable attorney fees fixed by the court
 3525  and taxed as costs in the action brought to enforce payment,
 3526  shall, from January 1 for each year the property is liable to
 3527  assessment and until paid, constitute a lien of equal dignity
 3528  with the liens for state and county taxes and other taxes of
 3529  equal dignity with state and county taxes upon all the real and
 3530  personal property against which such taxes shall be levied. A
 3531  sale of any of the real property within the district for state
 3532  and county or other taxes shall not operate to relieve or
 3533  release the property so sold from the lien for subsequent
 3534  district taxes, or installments of district taxes, which lien
 3535  may be enforced against such property as though no such sale
 3536  thereof had been made.
 3537         (2)Charges and fees due or to become due under any service
 3538  agreements entered into by the district pursuant to subsection
 3539  (5) of section 17 shall constitute a lien of equal dignity with
 3540  district taxes, as provided for in subsection (1), upon all the
 3541  real and personal property to which such service agreements
 3542  relate or by which the same are secured, and the provisions of
 3543  subsection (1) shall be applicable to such charges and fees.
 3544         Section 31.Foreclosure of liens.—
 3545         (1)Any lien in favor of the district arising under chapter
 3546  298, Florida Statutes, or under this act may be foreclosed by
 3547  the district by bringing foreclosure proceedings in the name of
 3548  the district in the Circuit Court for the Ninth Circuit in like
 3549  manner as is provided in chapter 173, Florida Statutes, and
 3550  amendments thereto, and the provisions of said chapter shall be
 3551  applicable to such proceedings with the same force and effect as
 3552  if said provisions were expressly set forth in this act. Any act
 3553  required or authorized to be done by or on behalf of a
 3554  municipality in foreclosure proceedings under chapter 173,
 3555  Florida Statutes, may be performed by such officer or agent of
 3556  the district as the board of supervisors may designate. Such
 3557  foreclosure proceedings may be brought at any time after the
 3558  expiration of 1 year from the date any tax, or installment
 3559  thereof, becomes delinquent.
 3560         (2)In any foreclosure action filed by the district
 3561  pursuant to this section, the district may join as a party
 3562  defendant Orange County or Osceola County, as the case may be,
 3563  for the purpose of determining the amount of their respective
 3564  tax liens. When a county is so joined in such a foreclosure
 3565  action, the judicial sale held in such action shall operate to
 3566  satisfy all county tax liens to the date of such sale, and the
 3567  net proceeds of such sale shall be applied first against
 3568  delinquent state and county taxes and thereafter against
 3569  delinquent district taxes on the property affected. The decree
 3570  of the court in any such foreclosure action shall operate to
 3571  quiet title to the property that is the subject of the action.
 3572         Section 32.Payment of taxes and redemption of tax liens by
 3573  district; sharing in proceeds of tax sale under s. 197.542,
 3574  Florida Statutes.—
 3575         (1)The district has the right to:
 3576         (a)Pay any delinquent state, county, district, municipal,
 3577  or other tax or assessment upon lands located wholly or
 3578  partially within the boundaries of the district; and
 3579         (b)Redeem or purchase any tax sales certificate issued or
 3580  sold on account of any state, county, district, municipal, or
 3581  other taxes or assessments upon lands located wholly or
 3582  partially within the boundaries of the district.
 3583         (2)Delinquent taxes paid, or tax sales certificates
 3584  redeemed or purchased, by the district, together with all
 3585  penalties for the default in payment of the same and all costs
 3586  in collecting the same and reasonable attorney fees, shall
 3587  constitute a lien in favor of the district of equal dignity with
 3588  the liens of state and county taxes and other taxes of equal
 3589  dignity with state and county taxes, upon all the real property
 3590  against which said taxes were levied. The lien of the district
 3591  may be foreclosed in the manner provided in this act.
 3592         (3)In any sale of land pursuant to s. 197.542, Florida
 3593  Statutes, and amendments thereto, the district may certify to
 3594  the clerk of the circuit court of the county holding such sale
 3595  the amount of taxes due to the district upon the lands sought to
 3596  be sold, and the district shall share in the disbursement of the
 3597  sales proceeds in accordance with the provisions of this act and
 3598  under law.
 3599         Section 33.General obligation bonds.—
 3600         (1)The district shall have the power from time to time to
 3601  issue general obligation bonds in an aggregate principal amount
 3602  of bonds outstanding at any one time not in excess of 50 percent
 3603  of the assessed value of the taxable property within the
 3604  district as shown on the pertinent tax records at the time of
 3605  the authorization of the general obligation bonds for which the
 3606  full faith and credit of the district is pledged. Except for
 3607  refunding bonds, no general obligation bonds shall be issued
 3608  unless the issuance thereof is approved by the qualified
 3609  electors of the district in accordance with the requirements for
 3610  such election as prescribed by the State Constitution, such
 3611  election to be called and held in the manner provided in the
 3612  State Constitution and Florida Statutes for such elections. Such
 3613  elections shall be called to be held in the district by the
 3614  respective Boards of County Commissioners of Orange and Osceola
 3615  Counties upon the request of the board of supervisors. The
 3616  expenses of calling and holding such referendum elections shall
 3617  be borne by the district, and the district shall reimburse the
 3618  Boards of County Commissioners of Orange and Osceola Counties,
 3619  as the case may be, for any expenses incurred by said boards in
 3620  calling or holding such elections. In the alternative, at its
 3621  option, the board of supervisors may make such other provision
 3622  for the registration of such qualified electors and the calling
 3623  and holding of such elections as the board from time to time
 3624  deems appropriate.
 3625         (2)The district may pledge its full faith and credit for
 3626  the payment of the principal and interest on such general
 3627  obligation bonds, and for any reserve or other funds provided
 3628  therefor, and may unconditionally and irrevocably pledge itself
 3629  to levy ad valorem taxes on all taxable property in the
 3630  district, to the extent necessary for the payment thereof,
 3631  subject, however, to the limitations on the total amount of ad
 3632  valorem taxes that may be levied in any one year as specified in
 3633  section 24.
 3634         (3)If the board of supervisors determines to issue general
 3635  obligation bonds for more than one different purpose, the
 3636  approval of the issuance of the bonds for each and all such
 3637  purposes may be submitted to the qualified electors on one and
 3638  the same ballot. The failure of the qualified electors to
 3639  approve the issuance of bonds for any one or more purposes shall
 3640  not defeat the approval of bonds for any purpose which shall be
 3641  approved by the qualified electors.
 3642         Section 34.Revenue bonds.—
 3643         (1)The district shall have the power to issue revenue
 3644  bonds from time to time without limitation as to amount. Such
 3645  revenue bonds may be secured by or payable from the gross or net
 3646  pledge of the revenues to be derived from any project or
 3647  combination of projects, from the rates, fees, fares, or other
 3648  charges to be collected from the users of any project or
 3649  projects, from any revenue-producing undertaking or activity of
 3650  the district, or from any other source or pledged security. Such
 3651  bonds shall not constitute an indebtedness of the district, and
 3652  the approval of the qualified electors shall not be required
 3653  unless such bonds are additionally secured by the full faith and
 3654  credit and taxing power of the district.
 3655         (2)Any two or more projects may be combined and
 3656  consolidated into a single project and may thereafter be
 3657  operated and maintained as a single project. The revenue bonds
 3658  authorized herein may be issued to finance any one or more such
 3659  projects separately, or to finance two or more such projects,
 3660  regardless of whether such projects have been combined and
 3661  consolidated into a single project. If the board of supervisors
 3662  deems it advisable, the proceedings authorizing such revenue
 3663  bonds may provide that the district may thereafter combine the
 3664  projects then being financed or theretofore financed with other
 3665  projects to be subsequently financed by the district, and that
 3666  revenue bonds to be thereafter issued by the district shall be
 3667  on parity with the revenue bonds then being issued, all on such
 3668  terms, conditions, and limitations as shall be provided, and may
 3669  further provide that the revenues to be derived from the
 3670  subsequent projects shall at the time of the issuance of such
 3671  parity revenue bonds be also pledged to the holders of any
 3672  revenue bonds theretofore issued to finance the revenue
 3673  undertakings which are later combined with such subsequent
 3674  projects. The district may pledge for the security of the
 3675  revenue bonds a fixed amount, without regard to any fixed
 3676  proportion of the gross revenues of any project.
 3677         Section 35.Utility service tax bonds.—The district shall
 3678  have the power to issue from time to time, without limitation as
 3679  to amount, bonds payable from the proceeds of any utility
 3680  service taxes or funds of the district, or any combination
 3681  thereof. Such bonds shall not constitute an indebtedness of the
 3682  district and the approval of the qualified electors shall not be
 3683  required unless such bonds are additionally secured by the full
 3684  faith and credit and taxing power of the district.
 3685         Section 36.Issuance of additional bonds.—If the proceeds
 3686  of any bonds are less than the cost of completing the project in
 3687  connection with which such bonds are issued, the board of
 3688  supervisors may authorize the issuance of additional bonds, upon
 3689  such terms and conditions as the board may provide in the
 3690  resolution authorizing the issuance thereof, but only in
 3691  compliance with the resolution or other proceedings authorizing
 3692  the issuance of the original bonds.
 3693         Section 37.Refunding bonds.—The district shall have the
 3694  power to issue bonds to provide for the retirement or refunding
 3695  of any bonds or obligations of the district that at the time of
 3696  such issuance are or subsequently thereto become due and
 3697  payable, or that at the time of issuance have been called or are
 3698  or will be subject to call for redemption within 10 years
 3699  thereafter, or the surrender of which can be procured from the
 3700  holders thereof at prices satisfactory to the board of
 3701  supervisors. Refunding bonds may be issued at any time when, in
 3702  the judgment of the board of supervisors, such issuance will be
 3703  advantageous to the district. No approval of the qualified
 3704  electors residing in the district shall be required for the
 3705  issuance of refunding bonds except in cases where such approval
 3706  is required by the State Constitution. The board of supervisors
 3707  may by resolution confer upon the holders of such refunding
 3708  bonds all rights, powers, and remedies to which the holders
 3709  would be entitled if they continued to be the owners and had
 3710  possession of the bonds for the refinancing of which said
 3711  refunding bonds are issued, including, but not limited to, the
 3712  preservation of the lien of such bonds on the revenues of any
 3713  project or on pledged funds, without extinguishment, impairment,
 3714  or diminution thereof. The provisions of this act pertaining to
 3715  bonds of the district shall, unless the context otherwise
 3716  requires, govern the issuance of refunding bonds, the form and
 3717  other details thereof, the rights of the holders thereof, and
 3718  the duties of the board of supervisors with respect thereto.
 3719         Section 38.Pledging ad valorem taxes, assessments, and
 3720  other revenues and properties as additional security on bonds.
 3721  The district may pledge as additional security for the payment
 3722  of any of the bonds of the district its full faith and credit
 3723  and ad valorem taxing power, and provide that such bonds shall
 3724  be payable as to both principal and interest, and as to any
 3725  reserve or other funds provided therefor, from ad valorem taxes
 3726  levied on the taxable real and tangible personal property in the
 3727  district, to the full extent that any revenues as defined in
 3728  section 17, taxes, assessments, or other funds, or any
 3729  combination thereof, pledged therefor are insufficient for the
 3730  full payment of the same, but subject to the limitations on the
 3731  total amount of ad valorem taxes that may be levied in any one
 3732  year specified in section 24, and provided further that no bonds
 3733  shall be issued to the payment of which the full faith and
 3734  credit and taxing power of the district is pledged unless
 3735  approved at an election in the manner provided by law. The
 3736  district, by resolution of the board of supervisors, may also
 3737  pledge as additional security for any bonds the revenues from
 3738  any project of the district, utility service taxes, assessments,
 3739  and any other sources of revenues or funds, or any combination
 3740  of the foregoing, and may pledge or mortgage any of the
 3741  properties, rights, interests, or other assets of the district,
 3742  and such pledge shall not require the submission to or approval
 3743  by the qualified electors of the district unless required by the
 3744  State Constitution. The board of supervisors may also provide
 3745  with respect to any bonds of the district that such bonds shall
 3746  be payable, in whole or in part, as to principal amount or
 3747  interest, or both, out of rates, fees, fares, service charges,
 3748  or other charges collected with respect to any of the projects
 3749  of the district.
 3750         Section 39.Lien of pledges.—All pledges of revenues,
 3751  taxes, and assessments made pursuant to the provisions of this
 3752  act shall be valid and binding from the time when such pledges
 3753  are made. All such revenues, taxes, and assessments so pledged
 3754  and thereafter collected shall immediately be subject to the
 3755  lien of such pledges without any physical delivery thereof or
 3756  further action, and the lien of such pledges shall be valid and
 3757  binding as against all parties having claims of any kind in
 3758  tort, contract, or otherwise against the district, irrespective
 3759  of whether such parties have notice thereof.
 3760         Section 40.Assessable improvements; levy and payment of
 3761  special assessments; assessment bonds and certificates.—The
 3762  district may provide for the construction or reconstruction of
 3763  assessable improvements, and for the levying of special
 3764  assessments upon benefited property for the payment thereof,
 3765  under the provisions of this section.
 3766         (1)The initial proceeding under this section shall be the
 3767  passage by the board of supervisors of a resolution ordering the
 3768  construction or reconstruction of such assessable improvements,
 3769  indicating the location by terminal points, routes, or
 3770  otherwise, and either giving a description of the improvements
 3771  by their material, nature, character, and size or giving two or
 3772  more descriptions with the directions that the material, nature,
 3773  character, and size shall be subsequently determined in
 3774  conformity with one of such descriptions. Assessable
 3775  improvements need not be continuous and may be in more than one
 3776  locality or street. The resolution ordering any such improvement
 3777  may give any short and convenient designation to each
 3778  improvement ordered thereby, and the property against which
 3779  assessments are to be made for the cost of such improvement may
 3780  be designated as an assessment district, followed by a letter or
 3781  number or name to distinguish it from other assessment
 3782  districts, after which it shall be sufficient to refer to such
 3783  improvement and property by such designation in all proceedings
 3784  and assessments, except in the notices required by this section.
 3785         (2)As soon as possible after the passage of such
 3786  resolution, the engineer for the district shall prepare, in
 3787  duplicate, plans and specifications for each improvement ordered
 3788  thereby and an estimate of the cost thereof. Such cost shall
 3789  include, in addition to the items of cost as defined in this
 3790  act, the cost of relaying streets, sidewalks, and other public
 3791  facilities or conveniences necessarily torn up or damaged and
 3792  the following items of incidental expenses:
 3793         (a)Printing and publishing notices and proceedings;
 3794         (b)Costs of abstracts of title; and
 3795         (c)Any other expense necessary or proper in conducting the
 3796  proceedings and work provided for in this section, including the
 3797  estimated amount of discount, if any, upon the sale of
 3798  assessment bonds or any other obligations issued hereunder for
 3799  which such special assessments are to be pledged.
 3800  
 3801  If the resolution provides alternative descriptions of material,
 3802  nature, character, and size, such estimate shall include an
 3803  estimate of the cost of the improvement of each such
 3804  description. The engineer shall also prepare, in duplicate, a
 3805  tentative apportionment of the estimated total cost of the
 3806  improvement as between the district and each lot or parcel of
 3807  land subject to special assessment under the resolution, such
 3808  apportionment to be made in accordance with the provisions of
 3809  the resolution and in relation to apportionment of cost provided
 3810  herein for the preliminary assessment roll. Such tentative
 3811  apportionment of total estimated cost shall not be held to limit
 3812  or restrict the duties of the engineer in the preparation of
 3813  such preliminary assessment roll. One of the duplicates of such
 3814  plans, specifications, and estimates and such tentative
 3815  apportionment shall be filed with the board of supervisors, and
 3816  the other duplicate shall be retained by the engineer in his or
 3817  her files, all thereof to remain open to public inspection.
 3818         (3)The board of supervisors, upon the filing with it of
 3819  such plans, specifications, estimates, and tentative
 3820  apportionment of cost, shall publish a notice stating that, at a
 3821  meeting of the board of supervisors on a certain day and hour
 3822  not earlier than 15 days after such publication, the board of
 3823  supervisors will hear objections of all interested persons to
 3824  the confirmation of such resolution, which notice shall state in
 3825  brief and general terms a description of the proposed assessable
 3826  improvements with the location thereof, and shall also state
 3827  that plans, specifications, estimates, and tentative
 3828  apportionment of cost thereof are on file with the board of
 3829  supervisors. Such notice shall be published as provided in
 3830  chapter 50, Florida Statutes. The board of supervisors shall
 3831  keep a record in which shall be inscribed, at the request of any
 3832  person, firm, or corporation having or claiming to have any
 3833  interest in any lot or parcel of land or property, the name and
 3834  post office address of such person, firm, or corporation,
 3835  together with a brief description or designation of such lot or
 3836  parcel, and it shall be the duty of the board of supervisors to
 3837  mail a copy of such notice to such person, firm, or corporation
 3838  at such address at least 10 days before the time for the hearing
 3839  as stated in such notice. However, the failure of the board of
 3840  supervisors to keep such record or to inscribe any name or
 3841  address or to mail any such notice shall not constitute a valid
 3842  objection to holding the hearing as provided in this section or
 3843  to any other action taken under the authority of this section.
 3844         (4)At the time named in such notice, or to which an
 3845  adjournment may be taken by the board of supervisors, the board
 3846  shall receive any objections of interested persons and may then
 3847  or thereafter repeal or confirm such resolution with such
 3848  amendments, if any, as may be desired by the board and which do
 3849  not cause any additional property to be specially assessed.
 3850         (5)All objections to any such resolution on the ground
 3851  that it contains items which cannot be properly assessed against
 3852  property, or that it is, for any default or defect in the
 3853  passage or character of the resolution or the plans or
 3854  specifications or estimates, void or voidable in whole or in
 3855  part, or that it exceeds the power of the board of supervisors,
 3856  shall be made in writing in person or by attorney and filed with
 3857  the board at or before the time or adjourned time of such
 3858  hearing. Any objections against the making of any assessable
 3859  improvements not so made shall be considered as waived, and if
 3860  any objection is made and overruled or not sustained, the
 3861  confirmation of the resolution shall be the final adjudication
 3862  of the issues presented unless an action is filed in the Circuit
 3863  Court for the Ninth Circuit to secure relief within 30 days
 3864  after the board’s adoption of the resolution or its later
 3865  confirmation.
 3866         (6)Whenever any resolution providing for the construction
 3867  or reconstruction of assessable improvements and for the levying
 3868  of special assessments upon benefited property for the payment
 3869  thereof is confirmed, as hereinabove provided, or at any time
 3870  thereafter, the board of supervisors may issue assessment bonds
 3871  payable out of such assessments when collected. Said bonds shall
 3872  mature not later than 2 years after the last installment in
 3873  which said special assessments may be paid, as provided in
 3874  subsection (10), and shall bear interest not exceeding 6 percent
 3875  per annum. Such assessment bonds shall be executed, shall have
 3876  such provisions for redemption prior to maturity, and shall be
 3877  sold in the manner and be subject to all of the applicable
 3878  provisions contained in this act for revenue bonds, except as
 3879  the same are inconsistent with the provisions of this section.
 3880  The amount of such assessment bonds for any assessable
 3881  improvement, after the confirmation of the initial resolution,
 3882  shall not exceed 70 percent of the estimated amount of the cost
 3883  of such assessable improvements which are to be specially
 3884  assessed against the land or property to be specially benefited
 3885  thereby, as shown in the estimates of the engineer for the
 3886  district referred to in subsection (2). The amount of such
 3887  assessment bonds for any assessable improvement to be issued,
 3888  after the confirmation of the preliminary assessment roll
 3889  provided for in subsection (9), including any assessment bonds
 3890  theretofore issued, shall not exceed the amount of special
 3891  assessments actually confirmed and levied by the board of
 3892  supervisors as provided in subsection (9). Such assessment bonds
 3893  shall be payable from the proceeds of the special assessments
 3894  levied for the assessable improvement for which such assessment
 3895  bonds are issued. However, the district may pledge the full
 3896  faith and credit of the district for the payment of the
 3897  principal of and interest on such assessment bonds if the
 3898  issuance of such assessment bonds is approved in the manner
 3899  provided by law.
 3900         (7)After the passage of the resolution authorizing the
 3901  construction or reconstruction of assessable improvements has
 3902  been confirmed as provided in subsection (4), the district may
 3903  proceed with the construction or reconstruction work. Promptly
 3904  after the completion of the work, the engineer for the district,
 3905  who is hereby designated as the official of the district to make
 3906  preliminary assessment of benefits from assessable improvements,
 3907  shall prepare a preliminary assessment roll and file the same
 3908  with the board of supervisors, which roll shall contain the
 3909  following:
 3910         (a)A description of the lots and parcels of land or
 3911  property within the district which will benefit from such
 3912  assessable improvements and the amount of such benefits to each
 3913  such lot or parcel of land or property, and the preliminary
 3914  assessment. Such lots and parcels shall include the property of
 3915  the county or counties, municipality or municipalities, and any
 3916  school district or other political subdivision within the
 3917  district. There shall also be given the name of the owner of
 3918  record of each lot or parcel, where practicable, and a statement
 3919  of the method of assessment used by such engineer.
 3920         (b)The total cost of the improvement and the amount of
 3921  incidental expense. In making such preliminary assessments, the
 3922  engineer may use any method of determining the amount of special
 3923  benefits accruing to each lot or parcel of land or property from
 3924  such assessable improvements as are approved by the board of
 3925  supervisors. Such special benefits may be based on an acreage
 3926  assessment where benefits from such assessable improvements are
 3927  equal or nearly equal for lands or property in a particular
 3928  area, front footage, or any other factors which the board of
 3929  supervisors deems fair and equitable as between the different
 3930  lots or parcels of land or property benefited, whether improved
 3931  or unimproved. It shall be the duty of the engineer, in making
 3932  such preliminary assessment roll, to view all lots or parcels of
 3933  land or property to be assessed and to determine, for the
 3934  preliminary assessment roll, the amount of benefit which each
 3935  lot or parcel of land or property will receive from such
 3936  assessable improvements, under the method or methods prescribed
 3937  by the board of supervisors, or any combination thereof.
 3938         (8)The preliminary roll shall be advisory only and shall
 3939  be subject to the action of the board of supervisors as
 3940  hereinafter provided. Upon the filing with the board of
 3941  supervisors of the preliminary assessment roll, the board shall
 3942  publish a notice stating that, at a meeting of the board of
 3943  supervisors to be held on a certain day and hour not less than
 3944  15 days after the date of such publication, which meeting may be
 3945  a regular, adjourned, or special meeting, all interested persons
 3946  may appear and file written objections to the confirmation of
 3947  such roll. Such notice shall be published as provided in chapter
 3948  50, Florida Statutes, and shall state the class of the
 3949  assessable improvements and the location thereof by terminal
 3950  points, route, or otherwise. The board of supervisors shall also
 3951  mail a copy of such notice to the persons, firms, or
 3952  corporations referred to in subsection (3) at least 10 days
 3953  before the time of the meeting as stated in such notice.
 3954  However, the failure of the board to mail any such notice shall
 3955  not constitute a valid objection to holding such meeting or to
 3956  any other action taken under the authority of this section.
 3957         (9)At the time and place stated in such notice, the board
 3958  of supervisors shall meet and receive the objections in writing
 3959  of all interested persons as stated in such notice. The board of
 3960  supervisors may adjourn the hearing from time to time. After the
 3961  completion thereof, the board of supervisors shall either annul,
 3962  sustain, or modify, in whole or in part, the preliminary
 3963  assessment as indicated on such roll, either by confirming the
 3964  preliminary assessment against any or all lots or parcels
 3965  described therein or by cancelling, increasing, or reducing the
 3966  same, according to the special benefits which the board decides
 3967  each such lot or parcel has received or will receive on account
 3968  of such improvement. If any property chargeable under this
 3969  section is omitted from the preliminary roll, or if the
 3970  preliminary assessment is not made against it, the board of
 3971  supervisors may place on such roll an apportionment to such
 3972  property. The board of supervisors shall not confirm any
 3973  assessment in excess of the special benefits to the property
 3974  assessed, and the assessments so confirmed shall be in
 3975  proportion to the special benefits. The assessment so made shall
 3976  be final and conclusive as to each lot or parcel assessed
 3977  unless, within 30 days, an action is filed in the Circuit Court
 3978  for the Ninth Circuit to secure relief. If the assessment
 3979  against any property is sustained, reduced, or abated by the
 3980  court, the board of supervisors shall note that fact on the
 3981  assessment roll opposite the description of the property
 3982  affected thereby. The amount of the special assessment against
 3983  any lot or parcel which may be reduced or abated by the court,
 3984  unless the assessment upon the entire district is reduced or
 3985  abated, or the amount by which such assessment is so reduced or
 3986  abated, may by resolution of the board of supervisors be made
 3987  chargeable against the district at large; or, at the discretion
 3988  of the board, a new assessment roll may be prepared and
 3989  confirmed in the manner hereinabove provided for the preparation
 3990  and confirmation of the original assessment roll.
 3991         (10)Any assessment may be paid at the office of the board
 3992  of supervisors within 60 days after the confirmation thereof,
 3993  without interest. Thereafter, all assessments shall be payable
 3994  at such times, over such period of years not exceeding 20 years,
 3995  and in such annual or other installments, with interest at such
 3996  rate not exceeding 8 percent per annum on the principal amount
 3997  of such assessments from the expiration of said 60 days, as the
 3998  board of supervisors determines by resolution. The board of
 3999  supervisors may provide that any assessment may be paid at any
 4000  time before due, together with interest accrued thereon to the
 4001  date of prepayment, if such prior payment is permitted by the
 4002  proceedings authorizing any assessment bonds or other
 4003  obligations for the payment of which such special assessments
 4004  have been pledged.
 4005         (11)All such special assessments shall be collected by the
 4006  respective tax collectors for Orange and Osceola Counties, as
 4007  the case may be, in which event the last sentence of subsection
 4008  (1) of section 29 shall be applicable, or by such other officer
 4009  or agent as the board of supervisors may designate, at such time
 4010  or times as the board shall specify in the proceedings
 4011  authorizing or confirming the special assessments, and if no
 4012  other time is specified, then at the same time as general county
 4013  taxes are collected in Orange and Osceola Counties.
 4014         (12)All assessments shall constitute a lien upon the
 4015  property so assessed from the date of confirmation of the
 4016  resolution ordering the improvement, of the same nature and to
 4017  the same extent as the lien for general county taxes falling due
 4018  in the same year or years in which such assessments or
 4019  installments thereof fall due, and any assessment or installment
 4020  not paid when due shall be collectible with such interest and
 4021  with reasonable attorney fees and costs, but without penalties,
 4022  by the district by proceedings in the Circuit Court for the
 4023  Ninth Circuit to foreclose the lien of assessments as a lien for
 4024  mortgages is or may be foreclosed under the laws of the state;
 4025  provided that any such proceedings to foreclose shall embrace
 4026  all installments of principal remaining unpaid with accrued
 4027  interest thereon, which installments shall, by virtue of the
 4028  institution of such proceedings, immediately become due and
 4029  payable. Nevertheless, if, prior to any sale of the property
 4030  under decree of foreclosure in such proceedings, payment is made
 4031  of the installment or installments which are shown to be due
 4032  under the provisions of the resolution passed pursuant to
 4033  subsection (9) and by subsection (10), and all costs including
 4034  interest and attorney fees, such payment shall have the effect
 4035  of restoring the remaining installments to their original
 4036  maturities, and the proceedings shall be dismissed. It shall be
 4037  the duty of the district to enforce the prompt collection of
 4038  assessments by the means herein provided, and such duty may be
 4039  enforced at the suit of any holder of bonds issued under this
 4040  act in the Circuit Court for the Ninth Circuit by mandamus or
 4041  other appropriate proceedings or action. Not later than 30 days
 4042  after any installments are due and payable, it shall be the duty
 4043  of the board of supervisors to direct the attorney or attorneys
 4044  whom the board shall then designate to institute action within 2
 4045  months after such direction to enforce the collection of all
 4046  special assessments for assessable improvements made under this
 4047  section and remaining due and unpaid at the time of such
 4048  direction. Such action shall be prosecuted in a manner and under
 4049  the conditions in and under which mortgages are foreclosed under
 4050  the laws of the state. It shall be lawful to join in one action
 4051  the collection of assessments against any or all property
 4052  assessed by virtue of the same assessment roll unless the court
 4053  deems such joinder prejudicial to the interests of any
 4054  defendant. The court shall allow reasonable attorney fees for
 4055  the attorney or attorneys of the district, and the same shall be
 4056  collectible as a part of or in addition to the costs of the
 4057  action. At the sale pursuant to decree in any such action, the
 4058  district may be a purchaser to the same extent as an individual
 4059  person or corporation, except that the part of the purchase
 4060  price represented by the assessments sued upon and the interest
 4061  thereon need not be paid in cash. Property so acquired by the
 4062  district may be sold or otherwise disposed of, the proceeds of
 4063  such disposition to be placed in the fund provided by subsection
 4064  (13). However, no sale or other disposition thereof shall be
 4065  made unless the notice calling for bids therefor to be received
 4066  at a stated time and place is published at least once as
 4067  provided in chapter 50, Florida Statutes.
 4068         (13)All assessments and charges made under the provisions
 4069  of this section for the payment of all or any part of the cost
 4070  of any assessable improvements for which assessment bonds are
 4071  issued under the provisions of this law, or which have been
 4072  pledged as additional security for any other bonds or
 4073  obligations issued under this act, shall be maintained in a
 4074  special fund or funds and be used only for the payment of
 4075  principal of or interest on such assessment bonds or other bonds
 4076  or obligations.
 4077         (14)Orange and Osceola Counties, the municipalities, each
 4078  school district, and any other political subdivision wholly or
 4079  partly within the district shall possess the same power and be
 4080  subject to the same duties and liabilities in respect of the
 4081  special assessments under this section affecting the real estate
 4082  of such county, municipality, school district, or other
 4083  political subdivision which private owners of real estate
 4084  possess or are subject to hereunder, and such real estate of any
 4085  such county, municipality, school district, or political
 4086  subdivision shall be subject to liens for said assessments in
 4087  all cases where the same property would be subject to such liens
 4088  had it, at the time the lien attached, been owned by a private
 4089  owner.
 4090         (15)Subject to the terms of any bonds or other obligations
 4091  payable from or secured by the assessments provided for herein,
 4092  the board of supervisors may at any time and from time to time
 4093  modify, in whole or in part, or revoke any plan or specification
 4094  for any assessable improvement. In connection with the revision
 4095  of any such plan or specification, benefits may be reassessed or
 4096  additional assessments made in accordance with the provisions
 4097  and procedures of this section. The board of supervisors may at
 4098  any time approve and make effective technical changes and
 4099  modifications of any plan for any improvement not affecting the
 4100  determination of assessed benefits or the security of bond
 4101  owners.
 4102         Section 41.Issuance of certificates of indebtedness based
 4103  on assessments for assessable improvements; assessment bonds.—
 4104         (1)The board of supervisors may, after any assessments for
 4105  assessable improvements are made, determined, and confirmed as
 4106  provided in section 40, issue certificates of indebtedness for
 4107  the amount so assessed against the abutting property or property
 4108  otherwise benefited, as the case may be, and separate
 4109  certificates shall be issued against each part or parcel of land
 4110  or property assessed, which certificates shall state the general
 4111  nature of the improvement for which the said assessment is made.
 4112  Said certificates shall be payable in annual installments or
 4113  otherwise in accordance with the installments of the special
 4114  assessments for which they are issued. The board of supervisors
 4115  may determine the interest to be borne by such certificates at a
 4116  rate no greater than 6 percent per annum and may sell such
 4117  certificates at either private or public sale and determine the
 4118  form, manner of execution, and other details of such
 4119  certificates. Such certificates shall recite that they are
 4120  payable only from the special assessments levied and collected
 4121  from the part or parcel of land or property against which they
 4122  are issued. The proceeds of such certificates may be pledged for
 4123  the payment of principal of and interest on any revenue bonds or
 4124  general obligation bonds issued to finance in whole or in part
 4125  such assessable improvement, or, if not so pledged, may be used
 4126  to pay the cost or part of the cost of such assessable
 4127  improvements.
 4128         (2)The district may also issue assessment bonds or other
 4129  obligations payable from a special fund into which such
 4130  certificates of indebtedness referred to in subsection (1) may
 4131  be deposited; or, if such certificates of indebtedness have not
 4132  been issued, the district may assign to such special fund for
 4133  the benefit of the holders of such assessment bonds or other
 4134  obligations, or to a trustee for such bondholders, the
 4135  assessment liens provided for in section 40, unless such
 4136  certificates of indebtedness or assessment liens have been
 4137  theretofore pledged for any bonds or other obligations
 4138  authorized hereunder. In the event of the creation of such
 4139  special fund and the issuance of such assessment bonds or other
 4140  obligations, the proceeds of such certificates of indebtedness
 4141  or assessment liens deposited therein shall be used only for the
 4142  payment of the assessment bonds or other obligations issued as
 4143  provided in this section. The district is authorized to covenant
 4144  with the holders of such assessment bonds or other obligations
 4145  that it will diligently and faithfully enforce and collect all
 4146  the special assessments and interest and penalties thereon for
 4147  which such certificates of indebtedness or assessment liens have
 4148  been deposited in or assigned to such fund, and to foreclose
 4149  such assessment liens so assigned to such special fund or
 4150  represented by the certificates of indebtedness deposited in
 4151  said special fund, after such assessment liens have become
 4152  delinquent, and deposit the proceeds derived from such
 4153  foreclosure, including interest and penalties, in such special
 4154  fund, and to make any other covenants deemed necessary or
 4155  advisable in order to properly secure the holders of such
 4156  assessment bonds or other obligations.
 4157         (3)The assessment bonds or other obligations issued
 4158  pursuant to this section shall have such dates of issue and
 4159  maturity as are deemed advisable by the board of supervisors.
 4160  However, the maturities of such assessment bonds or other
 4161  obligations shall not be more than 2 years after the due date of
 4162  the last installment which will be payable on any of the special
 4163  assessments for which such assessment liens, or the certificates
 4164  of indebtedness representing such assessment liens, are assigned
 4165  to or deposited in such special fund.
 4166         (4)Such assessment bonds or other obligations issued under
 4167  this section shall bear interest at a rate not exceeding 6
 4168  percent per annum and shall be executed, shall have such
 4169  provisions for redemption prior to maturity, shall be sold in
 4170  the manner, and shall be subject to all of the applicable
 4171  provisions contained in this act for revenue bonds, except as
 4172  the same may be inconsistent with the provisions of this
 4173  section.
 4174         (5)All assessment bonds or other obligations issued under
 4175  the provisions of this act, except certificates of indebtedness
 4176  issued against separate lots or parcels of land or property as
 4177  provided in this section, shall be and constitute and have all
 4178  the qualities and incidents of negotiable instruments under the
 4179  law merchant and the laws of the state.
 4180         Section 42.Issuance of bond anticipation notes.—In
 4181  addition to the other powers provided for in this act and not in
 4182  limitation thereof, the district shall have the power, at any
 4183  time and from time to time after the issuance of any bonds of
 4184  the district is authorized, to borrow money for the purposes for
 4185  which such bonds are to be issued in anticipation of the receipt
 4186  of the proceeds of the sale of such bonds and to issue bond
 4187  anticipation notes in a principal amount not in excess of the
 4188  authorized maximum amount of such bond issue. Such notes shall
 4189  be in such denomination or denominations, bear interest at such
 4190  rate or rates not in excess of 6 percent per annum, mature at
 4191  such time or times not later than 5 years after the date of
 4192  issuance, be renewable for an additional term or terms in the
 4193  aggregate not in excess of 5 years after the date of first
 4194  renewal, and be in such form and executed in such manner as the
 4195  board of supervisors shall prescribe. Such notes may be sold at
 4196  either public or private sale or, if such notes are renewal
 4197  notes, may be exchanged for notes then outstanding on such terms
 4198  as the board of supervisors shall determine. Such notes shall be
 4199  paid from the proceeds of such bonds when issued. The board of
 4200  supervisors may in its discretion, in lieu of retiring the notes
 4201  by means of bonds, retire them by means of current revenues or
 4202  from any taxes or assessments levied for the payment of such
 4203  bonds, but in such event a like amount of the bonds authorized
 4204  shall not be issued.
 4205         Section 43.Short-term borrowings.—The district at any time
 4206  may obtain loans, in such amount and on such terms and
 4207  conditions as the board of supervisors may approve, for the
 4208  purpose of paying any of the expenses of the district or any
 4209  costs incurred or that may be incurred in connection with any of
 4210  the projects of the district, which loans shall have a term not
 4211  exceeding 2 years from the date of issuance thereof, and may be
 4212  renewable for a like term or terms, shall bear interest in any
 4213  amount not in excess of 6 percent per annum, and may be payable
 4214  from and secured by a pledge of such funds, revenues, taxes, and
 4215  assessments as the board of supervisors may determine. For the
 4216  purpose of defraying such costs and expenses, the district may
 4217  issue negotiable notes, warrants, or other evidences of debt
 4218  signed on behalf of the district by any member of the board of
 4219  supervisors duly authorized by the board, such notes or other
 4220  evidences of indebtedness to be payable at such times, to bear
 4221  interest at a rate not exceeding 6 percent per annum, and to be
 4222  sold or discounted at such price or prices and on such terms as
 4223  the board may deem advisable. The board of supervisors shall
 4224  have the right to provide for the payment thereof by pledging
 4225  the whole or any part of the funds, revenues, taxes, and
 4226  assessments of the district. The approval of the qualified
 4227  electors residing in the district shall not be necessary except
 4228  where required by the State Constitution.
 4229         Section 44.Trust agreements.—In the discretion of the
 4230  board of supervisors, any issue of bonds may be secured by a
 4231  trust agreement by and between the district and a corporate
 4232  trustee or trustees, which may be any trust company or bank
 4233  having the powers of a trust company within or outside the
 4234  state. The resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or
 4235  such trust agreement may pledge the revenues to be received from
 4236  any projects of the district and may contain such provisions for
 4237  protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the
 4238  bondholders as the board of supervisors may approve, including,
 4239  without limitation, covenants setting forth the duties of the
 4240  district in relation to the acquisition, construction,
 4241  reconstruction, improvement, maintenance, repair, operation, and
 4242  insurance of any projects, the fixing and revising of the rates,
 4243  fees, fares, and charges, and the custody, safeguarding, and
 4244  application of all moneys, and for the employment of counselling
 4245  engineers in connection with such acquisition, construction,
 4246  reconstruction, improvement, maintenance, repair, or operation.
 4247  It shall be lawful for any bank or trust company incorporated
 4248  under the laws of the state which may act as a depository of the
 4249  proceeds of bonds or of revenues to furnish such indemnifying
 4250  bonds or to pledge such securities as may be required by the
 4251  district. Such resolution or trust agreement may set forth the
 4252  rights and remedies of the bondholders and of the trustee, if
 4253  any, and may restrict the individual right of action by
 4254  bondholders. The board of supervisors may provide for the
 4255  payment of the proceeds of the sale of the bonds and the
 4256  revenues of any project to such officer, board, or depository as
 4257  it may designate for the custody thereof, and for the method of
 4258  disbursement thereof with such safeguards and restrictions as it
 4259  may determine. All expenses incurred in carrying out the
 4260  provisions of such resolution or trust agreement may be treated
 4261  as part of the cost of operation of the project to which such
 4262  trust agreement pertains.
 4263         Section 45.Sale of bonds.—Bonds may be sold in blocks or
 4264  installments at different times, or an entire issue or series
 4265  may be sold at one time. Bonds may be sold at public or private
 4266  sale after such advertisement, if any, as the board of
 4267  supervisors deems advisable but not in any event at less than 95
 4268  percent of the par value thereof, together with accrued interest
 4269  thereon. Bonds may be sold or exchanged for refunding bonds.
 4270  Special assessment and revenue bonds may be delivered as payment
 4271  by the district of the purchase price or lease of any project or
 4272  part thereof, or a combination of projects or parts thereof, or
 4273  as the purchase price or exchanged for any property, real,
 4274  personal, or mixed, including franchises, or services rendered
 4275  by any contractor, engineer, or other person, all at one time or
 4276  in blocks from time to time, in such manner and upon such terms
 4277  as the board of supervisors in its discretion shall determine.
 4278  The price or prices for any bonds sold, exchanged, or delivered
 4279  may be:
 4280         (1)The money paid for the bonds;
 4281         (2)The principal amount, plus accrued interest to the date
 4282  of redemption or exchange, of outstanding obligations exchanged
 4283  for refunding bonds;
 4284         (3)In the case of special assessment or revenue bonds, the
 4285  amount of any indebtedness to contractors or other persons paid
 4286  with such bonds; or
 4287         (4)The fair value of any properties exchanged for the
 4288  bonds, as determined by the board of supervisors.
 4289         Section 46.Authorization and form of bonds.—Bonds may be
 4290  authorized by resolution or resolutions of the board of
 4291  supervisors which shall be adopted by a majority of all of the
 4292  members thereof then in office. Such resolution or resolutions
 4293  may be adopted at the same meeting at which they are introduced
 4294  and need not be published or posted. The board of supervisors
 4295  may by resolution authorize the issuance of bonds and fix the
 4296  aggregate amount of bonds to be issued, the purpose or purposes
 4297  for which the moneys derived therefrom shall be expended, the
 4298  rate or rates of interest, which shall not exceed 6 percent per
 4299  annum, the denomination of the bonds, regardless of whether the
 4300  bonds are to be issued in one or more series, the date or dates
 4301  thereof, the date or dates of maturity, which shall not exceed
 4302  40 years from their respective dates of issuance, the medium of
 4303  payment, the place or places within or outside the state where
 4304  payment shall be made, registration privileges, redemption terms
 4305  and privileges (whether with or without premium), the manner of
 4306  execution, the form of the bonds, including any interest coupons
 4307  to be attached thereto, the manner of execution of bonds and
 4308  coupons, and any and all other terms, covenants, and conditions
 4309  thereof, and the establishment of reserve or other funds. Such
 4310  authorizing resolution may further provide that such bonds may
 4311  be executed manually or by engraved, lithographed, or facsimile
 4312  signature, provided that where signatures are engraved,
 4313  lithographed, or facsimile, no bond shall be valid unless
 4314  countersigned by a registrar or other officer designated by
 4315  appropriate resolution of the board of supervisors. The seal of
 4316  the district may be affixed, lithographed, engraved, or
 4317  otherwise reproduced in facsimile on such bonds. In case any
 4318  officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature
 4319  appears on any bonds or coupons ceases to be such officer before
 4320  the delivery of such bonds, such signature or facsimile shall
 4321  nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same
 4322  as if he or she had remained in office until such delivery.
 4323         Section 47.Increase in maximum allowable interest on
 4324  district bonds.—Anything in this act or the laws of the state to
 4325  the contrary notwithstanding, if at any time and from time to
 4326  time the general laws of the state permit the counties,
 4327  municipalities, or political subdivisions of the state, or any
 4328  of them, to issue general obligation, revenue, assessment, or
 4329  other bonds bearing interest in an amount or at a rate in excess
 4330  of 6 percent per annum, then the maximum allowable interest on
 4331  any bonds of the district that may be issued during the
 4332  effective period of such general law shall be the maximum amount
 4333  or rate permitted under such general law.
 4334         Section 48.Interim certificates; replacement
 4335  certificates.—Pending the preparation of definitive bonds, the
 4336  board of supervisors may issue interim certificates or receipts
 4337  or temporary bonds, in such form and with such provisions as the
 4338  board may determine, exchangeable for definitive bonds when such
 4339  bonds have been executed and are available for delivery. The
 4340  board of supervisors may also provide for the replacement of any
 4341  bonds that become mutilated or are lost or destroyed.
 4342         Section 49.Negotiability of bonds.—Any bond issued under
 4343  this act and any interim certificate, receipt, or temporary bond
 4344  shall, in the absence of an express recital on the face thereof
 4345  that it is nonnegotiable, be fully negotiable and shall be and
 4346  constitute negotiable instruments within the meaning and for all
 4347  purposes of the law merchant and the laws of the state.
 4348         Section 50.Defeasance.—The board of supervisors may make
 4349  such provision with respect to the defeasance of the right,
 4350  title, and interest of the holders of any of the bonds and
 4351  obligations of the district in any revenues, funds, or other
 4352  properties by which such bonds are secured as the board deems
 4353  appropriate and, without limitation on the foregoing, may
 4354  provide that when such bonds or obligations become due and
 4355  payable or shall have been called for redemption, and the whole
 4356  amount of the principal and the interest and premium, if any,
 4357  due and payable upon the bonds or obligations then outstanding
 4358  shall be paid, or sufficient moneys or direct obligations of the
 4359  United States Government the principal of and the interest on
 4360  which when due will provide sufficient moneys, shall be held or
 4361  deposited in trust for such purpose, and provision shall also be
 4362  made for paying all other sums payable in connection with such
 4363  bonds or other obligations, then and in such event the right,
 4364  title, and interest of the holders of the bonds in any revenues,
 4365  funds, or other properties by which such bonds are secured shall
 4366  thereupon cease, determine, and become void, and the board of
 4367  supervisors may apply any surplus in any sinking fund
 4368  established in connection with such bonds or obligations and all
 4369  balances remaining in all other funds or accounts other than
 4370  money held for the redemption or payment of the bonds or other
 4371  obligations to any lawful purpose of the district as the board
 4372  shall determine.
 4373         Section 51.Bonds as legal investment or security.
 4374  Notwithstanding any provisions of any other law to the contrary,
 4375  all bonds issued under the provisions of this act shall
 4376  constitute legal investments for savings banks, banks, trust
 4377  companies, insurance companies, executors, administrators,
 4378  trustees, guardians, and other fiduciaries, and for any board,
 4379  body, agency, instrumentality, county, municipality, or other
 4380  political subdivision of the state, and shall be and constitute
 4381  securities which may be deposited by banks or trust companies as
 4382  security for deposits of state, county, municipal, or other
 4383  public funds, or by insurance companies as required or voluntary
 4384  statutory deposits.
 4385         Section 52.Agreements with Division of Bond Finance and
 4386  others.—The board of supervisors shall have the power to retain
 4387  and enter into agreements with fiscal agents, financial
 4388  advisers, the Division of Bond Finance of the State Board of
 4389  Administration, engineers, and other consultants or advisers
 4390  with respect to the issuance and sale of any bonds, and the cost
 4391  and expense thereof may be treated as part of the cost and
 4392  expense of such project. The board of supervisors shall engage
 4393  the Division of Bond Finance in connection with the structure,
 4394  management, and execution of debt issuances including, but not
 4395  limited to, direct placements, bank loans, private placements,
 4396  and limited or public offerings of debt.
 4397         Section 53.Covenants.—Any resolution authorizing the
 4398  issuance of bonds may contain such covenants as the board of
 4399  supervisors may deem advisable, and all such covenants shall
 4400  constitute valid and legally binding and enforceable contracts
 4401  between the district and the bondholders, regardless of the time
 4402  of issuance thereof. Such covenants may include, without
 4403  limitation, covenants concerning the disposition of the bond
 4404  proceeds, the use and disposition of project revenues, the
 4405  pledging of revenues, taxes, and assessments, the obligations of
 4406  the district with respect to the operation of the project and
 4407  the maintenance of adequate project revenues, the issuance of
 4408  additional bonds, the appointment, powers, and duties of
 4409  trustees and receivers, the acquisition of outstanding bonds and
 4410  obligations, restrictions on the establishing of competing
 4411  projects or facilities, restrictions on the sale or disposal of
 4412  the assets and property of the district, the priority of
 4413  assessment liens, the priority of claims by bondholders on the
 4414  taxing power of the district, the maintenance of deposits to
 4415  ensure the payment of revenues by users of district facilities
 4416  and services, the discontinuance of district services by reason
 4417  of delinquent payments, acceleration upon default, the execution
 4418  of necessary instruments, the procedure for amending or
 4419  abrogating covenants with the bondholders, and such other
 4420  covenants as may be deemed necessary for the security of the
 4421  bondholders.
 4422         Section 54.Validity of bonds; validation proceedings.—
 4423         (1)Any bonds issued by the district shall be incontestable
 4424  in the hands of bona fide purchasers or holders for value and
 4425  shall not be invalid because of any irregularity or defects in
 4426  the proceedings for the issue and sale thereof. Prior to the
 4427  issuance of any bonds, the district may, but is not required to,
 4428  publish a notice as provided in chapter 50, Florida Statutes,
 4429  stating the date of adoption of the resolution authorizing such
 4430  obligations, the amount, maximum rate of interest, and maturity
 4431  of such obligations, and the purpose in general terms for which
 4432  such obligations are to be issued, and further stating that any
 4433  action or proceeding questioning the validity of such
 4434  obligations or of the proceedings authorizing the issuance
 4435  thereof, or of any covenants made therein, must be instituted
 4436  within 30 days after the first publication of such notice, or
 4437  the validity of such obligations, proceedings, and covenants
 4438  shall not be thereafter questioned in any court whatsoever. If
 4439  no such action or proceeding is so instituted within such 30-day
 4440  period, then the validity of such obligations, proceedings, and
 4441  covenants shall be conclusive, and all persons or parties
 4442  whatsoever shall be forever barred from questioning the validity
 4443  of such obligations, proceedings, or covenants in any court
 4444  whatsoever.
 4445         (2)The power of the district to issue bonds under the
 4446  provisions of this act may be determined, and any of the bonds
 4447  of the district may be validated and confirmed, by circuit court
 4448  decree, under the provisions of chapter 75, Florida Statutes,
 4449  and laws amendatory thereof or supplementary thereto.
 4450         Section 55.Act furnishes full authority for issuance of
 4451  bonds.—This act constitutes full and complete authority for the
 4452  issuance of bonds and the exercise of the powers of the district
 4453  provided herein. The powers conferred by this act on the
 4454  district with respect to the issuance and sale of bonds shall be
 4455  in addition and supplemental to the powers conferred by any
 4456  other law.
 4457         Section 56. Tax exemption.-As the exercise of the powers
 4458  conferred by this act to effect the purposes of this act
 4459  constitute the performance of essential public functions, and as
 4460  the projects of the district will constitute public property
 4461  used for public purposes, all assets and properties of the
 4462  district, and all bonds issued hereunder and interest paid
 4463  thereon, and all fees, charges, and other revenues derived by
 4464  the district from the projects provided for by this act shall be
 4465  exempt from all taxes by the state or by any political
 4466  subdivision, agency, or instrumentality thereof, provided,
 4467  however, that nothing in this act shall be deemed to exempt from
 4468  taxation any property, project, facility, business activity, or
 4469  enterprise that cannot validly be undertaken as a public
 4470  function by special taxing districts or other public bodies
 4471  under the laws and Constitution of the State of Florida, and
 4472  provided further that nothing in this act shall be deemed to
 4473  exempt any property, project, facility, business activity, or
 4474  enterprise of the district, or revenues derived therefrom, which
 4475  would be subject to taxation under the general laws of the State
 4476  of Florida if such property, project, or facility were owned or
 4477  undertaken by a municipal corporation.
 4478         Section 57.Pledge by State of Florida to bondholders of
 4479  district and to Federal Government.—
 4480         (1)For all bonds and other obligations issued before the
 4481  effective date of this act, the State of Florida pledges to the
 4482  holders of any bonds issued under this act that it will not
 4483  limit or alter the rights of the district to own, acquire,
 4484  construct, reconstruct, improve, maintain, operate, or furnish
 4485  the projects or to levy and collect the taxes, assessments,
 4486  rentals, rates, fees, fares, and other charges provided for
 4487  herein and to fulfill the terms of any agreement made with the
 4488  holders of such bonds or other obligations, that it will not in
 4489  any way impair the rights or remedies of the holders, and that
 4490  it will not modify in any way the exemption from taxation
 4491  provided in this act, until all such bonds, together with
 4492  interest thereon, and all costs and expenses in connection with
 4493  any action or proceeding by or on behalf of such holders, are
 4494  fully met and discharged. The State of Florida pledges to and
 4495  agrees with the Federal Government that in the event the Federal
 4496  Government or any agency or authority thereof shall construct or
 4497  contribute any funds, materials, or property for the
 4498  construction, acquisition, extension, improvement, enlargement,
 4499  maintenance, operation, or furnishing of any of the projects of
 4500  the district, or any part thereof, the state will not alter or
 4501  limit the rights and powers of the district in any manner which
 4502  would be inconsistent with the continued maintenance and
 4503  operation of such project, or any part thereof, or the
 4504  improvement thereof, or which would be inconsistent with the due
 4505  performance of any agreements between the district and the
 4506  Federal Government, and the district shall continue to have and

 4589         Section 61.Construction of district projects.—The
 4590  Legislature finds and declares that in order to accomplish the
 4591  purposes of this act, it is essential that the board of
 4592  supervisors have discretion and authority with respect to the
 4593  manner in which the construction of the projects of the
 4594  district, including, but not limited to, projects financed by
 4595  district bonds, taxes, or assessments, shall be undertaken. The
 4596  board of supervisors shall have power and authority to acquire,
 4597  construct, reconstruct, extend, repair, improve, maintain, and
 4598  operate any of the projects of the district, and to that end to
 4599  employ contractors, to purchase machinery, to employ machinery
 4600  operators, and directly to have charge of and construct the
 4601  projects of the district in such manner as the board may
 4602  determine. The district may undertake any construction work with
 4603  its own resources, without public advertisement for bids.
 4604  However, if the district does not use its own resources to
 4605  undertake any construction work, the board of supervisors must
 4606  let contracts for the projects of the district, either as a
 4607  whole or in sections, with public advertising and the receiving
 4608  of bids, all on such terms and conditions as the board may deem
 4609  appropriate. The board of supervisors shall let the contract to
 4610  the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. However, the board
 4611  may in its discretion reject any and all bids.
 4612         Section 62.Enforcement and penalties.—
 4613         (1)The board of supervisors or any aggrieved person may
 4614  have recourse to such civil remedies as may be necessary to
 4615  ensure compliance with the provisions of this act, including
 4616  injunctive relief to enjoin or restrain any person violating the
 4617  provisions of this act, and any bylaws, resolutions,
 4618  regulations, rules, codes, and orders adopted under this act,
 4619  and the court shall, upon proof of such violation, have the duty
 4620  to issue forthwith such temporary and permanent injunctions as
 4621  are necessary to prevent such further violation thereof. In case
 4622  any building or structure is erected, constructed,
 4623  reconstructed, altered, repaired, converted, or maintained, or
 4624  any building, structure, land, or water is used, in violation of
 4625  this act, or of any code, order, resolution, or other regulation
 4626  made under authority conferred by this act or under law, the
 4627  board of supervisors and any person residing in the district may
 4628  institute any appropriate action or proceeding to prevent such
 4629  unlawful erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration,
 4630  repair, conversion, maintenance, or use, to restrain, correct or
 4631  avoid such violation, to prevent the occupancy of such building,
 4632  structure, land, or water, and to prevent any illegal act,
 4633  conduct, business, or use in or about such premises, land, or
 4634  water.
 4635         (2)The district shall have the standing and authority to
 4636  challenge, by an action in a court of proper jurisdiction, any
 4637  action, contract, resolution, ordinance, code, or regulation of
 4638  the City of Bay Lake or the City of Lake Buena Vista that
 4639  violates this act.
 4640         Section 63.Investment of funds.—The board of supervisors
 4641  may in its discretion invest funds of the district as provided
 4642  in s. 218.415, Florida Statutes.
 4643         Section 64.Severability of provisions.—If any section,
 4644  clause, sentence, or provision of this act, or the application
 4645  of such section, clause, sentence, or provision to any persons
 4646  or bodies or under any circumstances, is held to be inoperative,
 4647  invalid, or unconstitutional, the invalidity of such section,
 4648  clause, sentence, or provision shall not be deemed, held, or
 4649  taken to affect the validity or constitutionality of any of the
 4650  remaining parts of this act, or the application of any of the
 4651  provisions of this act to persons or bodies or in circumstances
 4652  other than those as to which it or any part thereof is held
 4653  inoperative, invalid, or unconstitutional, and it is intended
 4654  that this act shall be construed and applied as if any section,
 4655  clause, sentence, or provision held inoperative, invalid, or
 4656  unconstitutional had not been included in this act.
 4657         Section 3. The offices and terms of all members of the
 4658  Board of Supervisors of the Reedy Creek Improvement District
 4659  existing as of the effective date of this act shall end as of
 4660  the effective date of this act, but such members may continue to
 4661  serve until a successor in office is appointed and qualified.
 4662  Until successors are appointed and qualified to replace all of
 4663  the members of the board of supervisors existing as of the
 4664  effective date of this act, board members, officers, and
 4665  employees of the district may not sell, dispose of, encumber,
 4666  transfer, or expend the assets of the district as such assets
 4667  existed on the effective date of this act, other than in the
 4668  ordinary course of business.
 4669         Section 4. The provisions of this act shall be liberally
 4670  construed to effect its purposes and shall be deemed cumulative,
 4671  supplemental, and alternative authority for the exercise of the
 4672  powers provided herein.
 4673         Section 5. Chapter 67-764, Laws of Florida, and the decree
 4674  in chancery No. 66-1061 entered by the Circuit Court in and for
