AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Authorization for County Attorney to execute fee agreement letter
for Proposed Issuance of Monroe County, Florida Airport Revenue Bonds (Key West International
Airport), Series 2022, to supplement the outside counsel agreement with the firm of Nabors, Giblin,
and Nickerson, P.A.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The County has used the law firm of Nabors, Giblin & Nickerson, P.A.
as its bond counsel for decades. The most recent iteration of that agreement was entered into on
April 17, 2013. That agreement contains a fee schedule for bond counsel services that is
inappropriate for airport bond issuances due to the complexities specific to airport bond transactions.
Ken Cushine, the Airport's financial advisor recommended a fee of$100,000.00 as a fair amount for
the anticipated magnitude and complexity of the bond issue for the Key West International Airport
Terminal A project. The fee would be paid out of bond proceeds, if the transaction closes. By way
of comparison, the bond counsel fee for the Series 2007 airport bonds was $90,000.00. The
principal amount in that transaction was $29,415,000.00. The principal amount of this transaction is
expected to exceed that 2007 airport bond issuance.
The item would authorize the County Attorney to execute a fee letter on behalf of the County. That
letter would be an addendum to the bond counsel agreement, supplementing the fee provisions.

Re: Proposed Issuance of Monroe County, Florida Airport Revenue
Bonds (Key West International Airport), Series 2022
Dear Bob:
0
Pursuant to our recent discussions with respect to the above-referenced transaction, this L_
letter will describe our responsibilities as bond counsel in connection with the issuance of the r_
Bonds by the County. Many of these responsibilities already have been undertaken.
CU
Bond counsel is engaged as a recognized independent expert whose primary responsibility 0
is to render an objective legal opinion with respect to the authorization and issuance of bonds,
Bonds or other instruments of indebtedness. Bond counsel is responsible for examining applicable
law; preparing the necessary financing documents, resolutions, bond/Bond forms, tax certificates
and other financing agreements and certificates authorizing and securing the Bonds; consulting
with the parties to the transactions prior to the issuance of the Bonds; attending such meetings of
the County as may be necessary to accomplish the financing; reviewing certified proceedings; and
undertaking such additional tasks as is deemed necessary to render the bond counsel opinions. 0
More specifically, our firm, as bond counsel,has performed and would perform the following tasks M
tf
and others with respect to the issuance of the Bonds: 0
C
1. Consultation with County officials and staff concerning all legal questions relating
CD
to the issuance of the Bonds; N
2. Attendance, upon request, at any meeting of the Board of County Commissioners E
or any meeting of staff relating to the issuance of the Bonds;
Packet Pg. 3604
S.7.a
Bob Shillinger, Esq.
June , 2022
Page 2
0
3. Preparation of all agreements, resolutions, bond documents and other instruments �
relating to the Bonds, in cooperation with the County staff and the County's
financial advisor;
0
4. Analysis and resolution of tax issues associated with the Bonds, including
preparation of ruling requests and any contacts with the United States Treasury, if 0
necessary;
5. Negotiation of terms and provisions of the financing documents with counsel to the
purchasers of the Bonds and review of all agreement(s)prepared by counsel to the
purchasers of the Bonds;
0
6. Preparation and review of all documentation required for all closings and
coordination of closings;
0
7. Review of all disclosure documents prepared for or authorized by the County,
insofar as such documents describe the Bonds and summarize the documents
0
securing the Bonds; U
8. Provision of opinions in written form at the time the Bonds are delivered, which
opinions shall cover(i)the legality of the Bonds and the proceedings by which they
are issued; (ii)the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of
interest paid with respect to the Bonds, and (iii) such other issues that are required
of bond counsel; and
9. Consultation with County officials and County staff concerning any additional
questions or issues that may arise with regard to the Bonds.
a�
Based upon our knowledge of this transactions and the fact our current fee schedule does
not contemplate an airport bond issue,we would propose a flat fee for our services as bond counsel
of$100,000 for the Bonds, actual expenses to be billed separately (not to exceed $3,500 for each
transaction). Such fees would be contingent upon the successful issuance of the Bonds. Let me
know if you have any questions or concerns.
