SECTION 5.07. TRUST FUNDS. The Pledged Revenue received pursuant to the authority of this Ordinance shall be deemed to be trust funds, to be held and applied solely as provided in this Ordinance and in the resolution authorizing issuance of the Obligations. Such Pledged Revenue may be invested by the County, or its designee, in the manner provided by the resolution authorizing issuance of the Obligations. The Pledged Revenue upon receipt thereof by the County shall be subject to the lien and pledge of the holders of any Obligations or any entity other than the County providing credit enhancement on the Obligations. SECTION 5.08. REMEDIES OF HOLDERS. Any holder of Obligations, except to the extent the rights herein given may be restricted by the resolution authorizing issuance of the Obligations, may, whether at law or in equity, by suit, action, mandamus or other proceedings, protect and enforce any and all rights under the laws of the State of Florida or granted hereunder or under such resolution, and may enforce and compel the performance of all duties required by this part, or by such resolution, to be performed by the County. SECTION 5.09. REFUNDING OBLIGATIONS. The County may, by resolution of the Board, issue Obligations to refund any Obligations issued pursuant to this Ordinance, or any other obligations of the County theretofore issued to finance the 25 Project Cost of a Local Improvement and provide for the rights of the holders hereof. Such refunding Obligations may be issued in an amount sufficient to provide for the payment of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Obligations to be refunded. If the issuance of such refunding Obligations results in an annual Assessment that exceeds the estimated maximum annual Capital Assessments set forth in the notice provided pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof, the Board shall provide notice to the affected property owners and conduct a public hearing in the manner required by Article IV of this Ordinance.
