A. On March 23, 1982, the City Council of the City of
Clermont, Florida (the "Issuer") by Resolution No. 394 (the
"Original Instrument"), the title of which is quoted in the title
of this resolution, authorized the issuance of not exceeding

cost of the acquisition, construction and erection of extensions
and improvements to the sewer facilities of the combined munici-

B. The Issuer has entered into a loan agreement with
the United States of America, acting through the Farmers Home
Administration, U.S. Department of Agriculture (the
"Government"), whereby the Government has agreed to purchase the
Bonds.
C. It is and was the intention of the Issuer and the
Government that the franchise tax levied and collected by the
Issuer pursuant to an agreement with Florida Power Corporation
under the authority of an ordinance duly enacted by the Issuer on
September 22, 1970, be pledged as a part of the security for the
payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds.
D. Although said franchise tax is levied and ~ollected
by the Issuer pursuant to an agreement with Florida Power
Corporation, the definition of the term "Franchise Tax" contained
in Section 1.01 of the Original Instrument refers to the
franchise tax "...levied and collected by the Issuer pursuant
to an agreement with Florida Power and Light Company...."
E. The Issuer desires to correct the definition of the
term "Franchise Tax" contained in the Original Instrument, and it
is appropriate and desirable to amend the Original Instrument to
make such correction.
F. The Issuer has determined that it is in the best
interest of the Issuer and its citizens and inhabitants that the
definition of "Franchise Tax" contained in the Original
Instrument be corrected to reflect that the above-described
agreement was entered into with Florida Power Corporation.
Section 3. Amendment. The definition of the term
"Franchise Tax" contained in Section 1.01 of the Original
Instrument is hereby amended to read as follows:
"'Franchise Tax' shall mean the excise tax levied and
collected by the Issuer pursuant to an agreement with Lake Apopka
Natural Gas District for a period of thirty (30) years from the
date thereof, by reason of having granted to said company the
right to supply natural gas to the Issuer and its inhabitants,
under the authority of an ordinance duly enacted by the Issuer on
November 17, 1959, and the excise tax levied and collected by the
Issuer pursuant to an agreement with Florida Power Corporation,
for a period of thirty (30) years from the date thereof, by
reason of having granted to said company the right to supply
electric light and power facilities and services to the Issuer
and its inhabitants, under the authority of an ordinance duly
