Okaloosa County, Florida
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Official Statement, which includes the cover page and appendices
hereto, is to furnish information concerning Okaloosa County, Florida (the "County"), its
Airports System and certain other information in connection with the sale by the County of its
$9,980,000 Taxable Airport Revenue Bonds, Series 2007 (the "Series 2007 Bonds"). All
capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in
APPENDIX C.
The Series 2007 Bonds will be issued pursuant to Part I of Chapter 125, Chapter 332,
and Chapter 159, Part VII and Section 218.385, Florida Statutes, as amended from time to
time, and other applicable provisions of law (the "Act"), and a Master Indenture of Trust (the
"Master Indenture"), as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, each dated as of
August 1, 2003, by and between the County and JP Morgan Chase Bank, as trustee, and as
further supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture (the "Second Supplemental
Indenture"), by and between the County and The Bank of New York, New York, New York, as
successor trustee (the "Trustee"), dated as of December 1, 2007 (collectively called the
"Indenture"). The Series 2007 Bonds are to be issued and secured by a pledge of and lien upon
the Trust Estate consisting primarily of Net Revenues derived from the operation of the
County's Airports System, under the Master Indenture, including a lien upon and pledge of a
portion of the revenues derived from a Customer Facility Charge (the "Pledged CFC
Revenues") on all rental car contracts issued for the rental of passenger motor vehicles at the
Okaloosa Regional Airport (the "Airport"). The County has previously issued its Airport
Revenue Bonds, Series 2003 (AMT) (the "Series 2003 Bonds"), secured by the Net Revenues
on a parity with the lien thereon of the Series 2007 Bonds. The Series 2003 Bonds are also
secured by revenues derived from a passenger facility charge (“PFC”) but are not payable from
the Pledged CFC Revenues. The Series 2007 Bonds are not secured by the PFC Revenues.
See "SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2007 BONDS". The Series 2007 Bonds, the Series 2003
Bonds and any additional bonds which may be issued under the Indenture on a parity therewith
("Additional Bonds") are herein sometimes collectively referred to as the "Bonds".
THE SERIES 2007 BONDS AND THE INTEREST THEREON DO NOT
CONSTITUTE A DEBT, LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION OF THE STATE, THE COUNTY,
OR ANY OTHER POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF (OTHER THAN A SPECIAL
OBLIGATION OF THE COUNTY) AND NEITHER THE FAITH AND CREDIT NOR THE
TAXING POWER OF THE STATE, THE COUNTY OR ANY OTHER POLITICAL
SUBDIVISION THEREOF IS PLEDGED TO THE PAYMENT OF THE SERIES 2007
BONDS OR THE INTEREST THEREON.
1
The County is a political subdivision of the State of Florida, located midway between
Pensacola and Panama City in the State's panhandle area. The County provides general
governmental services to its citizens, including the operation of its Airports System, which
consists primarily of the Okaloosa Regional Airport (the "Airport") located on Eglin Air Force
Base on property leased from the U.S. Department of the Air Force and two general aviation
airports, the Destin-Ft. Walton Beach Airport and the Bob Sikes Airport. The Airport had
approximately 370,558 enplaned passengers in calendar year 2006. See "OKALOOSA
REGIONAL AIRPORT" herein and "Report of Airport Consultant" – Appendix B herein.
The proceeds of the Series 2007 Bonds will be used by the County to (i) pay a portion
of the costs of the development of a new rental car facility and related improvements (the
"2007 Project"), (ii) fund the Debt Service Reserve Fund Requirement with respect to the
Series 2007 Bonds, (iii) pay capitalized interest on a portion of the Series 2007 Bonds, and (iv)
pay costs of issuance of the Series 2007 Bonds.
The total cost of the 2007 Project is estimated by the County to be approximately $12.4
million. Approximately $7,400,000 in Project Costs will be funded from proceeds of the
Series 2007 Bonds. The remainder will be funded from various other funding sources. The
County estimates that all elements of the Project will be substantially completed by early
2009. See “The 2007 PROJECT”, herein.
DESCRIPTION OF THE SERIES 2007 BONDS
General
The Series 2007 Bonds will be issued as fully registered bonds without coupons in
denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, will be dated the date of their
delivery, and will bear interest from that date to their respective maturities as set forth on the
inside front cover page hereof, subject to mandatory and optional redemption prior to maturity
as set forth below under "DESCRIPTION OF THE SERIES 2007 BONDS - Redemption
Provisions". Interest will be payable semiannually on April 1 and October 1 of each year,
commencing on April 1, 2008. Except as otherwise provided below under "DESCRIPTION
OF THE SERIES 2007 BONDS - Book-Entry Only System", interest will be payable by check
or draft mailed to the registered owners thereof at the address shown on the registration books
kept by The Bank of New York, New York, New York (the "Registrar") at the close of
business on the fifteenth (15th) day of the calendar month, whether or not a Business Day,
next preceding such Interest Payment Date (the "Regular Record Date"); provided, however,
that payment of the Principal Amount of, Redemption Premium, if any, and interest on the
Series 2007 Bonds may, at the option of any registered owner of Series 2007 Bonds in an
aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000, be transmitted by wire transfer within the
continental United States to such owner to the bank account number on file with the Registrar
as of the Regular Record Date. The Bank of New York is also serving as paying agent (the
"Paying Agent") and authenticating agent (the "Authenticating Agent") for the Series 2007
Bonds.

Book-Entry Only System
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CONCERNING DTC AND DTC'S BOOKENTRY ONLY SYSTEM HAS BEEN OBTAINED FROM SOURCES THAT THE COUNTY
BELIEVES TO BE RELIABLE, BUT NEITHER THE COUNTY NOR THE
UNDERWRITERS TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACCURACY OR
COMPLETENESS THEREOF.
The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, NY, will act as securities
depository for the Series 2007 Bonds. The Series 2007 Bonds will be issued as fully-registered
Series 2007 Bonds registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee).
Purchases of beneficial ownership interests in the 2007 Bonds will be made in book-entry only
form, in the denominations hereinbefore described. Purchasers of beneficial ownership interests
in the 2007 Bonds ("Beneficial Owners") will not receive bond certificates representing their
ownership interests in the 2007 Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry only system
for the 2007 Bonds is discontinued. One fully-registered Series 2007 Bond certificate will be
issued for each maturity of Series 2007 Bonds, and will be deposited with DTC.
DTC, the world's largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under
the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York
Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the
meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered
pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds
and provides asset servicing for over 2 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues,
corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments from over 85 countries that
DTC's participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade
settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited
securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct
Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates.
Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust
companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC, in turn, is owned
by a number of Direct Participants of DTC and Members of the National Securities Clearing
Corporation, Government Securities Clearing Corporation, MBS Clearing Corporation, and
Emerging Markets Clearing Corporation, as well as by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the
American Stock Exchange LLC, and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access
to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers
and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a
custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect
Participants"). DTC has Standard & Poor's highest rating: AAA. The DTC Rules applicable to
DTC and its Direct and Indirect Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.
3
Purchases of Series 2007 Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through
Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Series 2007 Bonds on DTC's records. The
ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Series 2007 Bond ("Beneficial Owner") is in
turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not
receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however,
expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic
statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial
Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Series 2007 Bonds are
to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on
behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their
ownership interests in Series 2007 Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system
for the Series 2007 Bonds is discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Series 2007 Bonds deposited by Direct Participants
with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other
name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Series 2007
Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee
do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial
Owners of the Series 2007 Bonds. DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct
Participants to whose accounts such Series 2007 Bonds are credited, which may or may not be
the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping
account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by
Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to
Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements made among them, subject to any statutory
or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.
Beneficial Owners of Series 2007 Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the
transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Series 2007 Bonds, such
as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Series 2007 Bonds
documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Series 2007 Bonds may wish to ascertain that
the nominee holding the Series 2007 Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit
notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, beneficial owners may wish to provide their
names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to
them. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of a maturity of the Series 2007
Bonds are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of
each Direct Participant in such bonds, as the case may be, to be redeemed.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with
respect to Series 2007 Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's
Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the County as soon as
possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting
rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Series 2007 Bonds are credited on the
record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
4
Principal and interest payments on the Series 2007 Bonds will be made to DTC. DTC's
practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding
detail information from the County or the Registrar, on payable date in accordance with their
respective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by Direct or Indirect Participants to
Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the
case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or with securities
registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Direct or Indirect Participants
and not of DTC, the Registrar, or the County, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements
as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest to DTC is the
responsibility of the County and/or the Registrar for the Series 2007 Bonds, disbursement of
such payments to Direct Participants is be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such
payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the
Series 2007 Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the County. Under such
circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, Series 2007 Bonds
certificates are required to be printed and delivered.
The County may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through
DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Series 2007 Bond certificates will be
printed and delivered.
Neither the County nor the Trustee can give any assurances that DTC, DTC Participants
or others will distribute payments of premium, if any, on the Series 2007 Bonds paid to DTC or
its nominee, or any redemption or other notices to the Beneficial Owners or that they will do so
on a timely basis or that DTC will serve or act in a manner described in this Official Statement.
For every transfer and exchange of a beneficial ownership interest in the Series 2007
Bonds, the Beneficial Owner may be charged a sum sufficient to cover any tax, fee or other
government charge that may be imposed in relation thereto.
Redemption Provisions

are not subject to optional redemption prior to maturity. The Series 2007 Bonds maturing after

Effect of Call for Redemption. On the date designated for redemption by notice, the
Series 2007 Bonds so called for redemption shall become and be due and payable at the
redemption price provided for redemption of such Series 2007 Bonds on such date. If on the
date fixed for redemption moneys for payment of the redemption price and accrued interest are
held by the Paying Agent, interest on such Series 2007 Bonds so called for redemption shall
cease to accrue, such Series 2007 Bonds shall cease to be entitled to any benefit or security
under the Indenture except the right to receive payment from moneys held therefor by the
Paying Agent and the amount of such Series 2007 Bonds so called for redemption shall be
deemed paid and no longer Outstanding.
Method of Selecting Bonds for Redemption. Except when registration of the Series

are to be redeemed, the maturities to be redeemed and the method of their selection shall be
determined by the County, (b) in the event that less than all Series 2007 Bonds of a maturity
are to be redeemed, the Series 2007 Bonds of such maturity to be redeemed shall be selected
by lot in such customary manner as the Trustee shall determine, and (c) in the event that less
than all Series 2007 Bonds of a term bond are to be redeemed, the remaining annual amounts
of mandatory sinking fund redemption shall be reduced in such years and amounts as the
County shall determine.
Upon the selection and call for redemption of, and the surrender of, any Series 2007
Bonds for redemption in part only, and except when registration of the Series 2007 Bonds is
maintained pursuant to a book-entry only system, the County shall cause to be executed,
authenticated and delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder thereof, at the expense
of the County, new Series 2007 Bonds in fully registered form of authorized denominations
and like tenor in an aggregate face amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Series 2007
Bonds surrendered.
Notice of Redemption. During the period that DTC or Cede & Co. is the registered
owner of the Series 2007 Bonds, the Trustee shall not be responsible for mailing notices of
redemption to the Beneficial Owners of the Series 2007 Bonds. See "DESCRIPTION OF THE
SERIES 2007 BONDS -- Book-Entry Only System".

any Series 2007 Bonds is to be redeemed, the Principal Amount to be redeemed.
Any notice of redemption shall be sent by the Trustee not less than thirty (30) nor more
than sixty (60) days prior to the date set for redemption by first class mail (a) to the registered
owner of each of such Series 2007 Bonds to be redeemed in whole or in part at its address as it
appears on the Register, (b) to all organizations registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission as securities depositories, and (c) to at least two information services of national
recognition which disseminate redemption information with respect to tax-exempt securities.
Failure to give any notice specified in (a) with respect to any particular Series 2007 Bond, or
any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of any proceedings for the redemption of any
other Series 2007 Bond with respect to which no such failure or defect has occurred, and
failure to give any notice specified in (b) or (c), or any defect therein, shall not affect the
validity of any proceedings for the redemption of any Series 2007 Bonds with respect to which

Notice of the optional redemption of the Series 2007 Bonds may be conditioned upon
and made subject to the irrevocable deposit of sufficient funds to pay the redemption price

SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2007 BONDS
Limited Obligations
The principal amount of, redemption premium, if any and interest on the Series 2007
Bonds will be payable from, and secured by a lien upon and a pledge of, the "Trust Estate"
created and defined in the Indenture. The Trust Estate consists of: (i) the Net Revenues; and
(ii) the moneys and investments in certain Funds and Accounts pledged under the Indenture,
including primarily the Construction Fund (except to the extent encumbered to pay Costs of
Airport Facilities), the Revenue Fund and the Revenue Fund Coverage Account therein, the
Series 2007 Principal, Interest and Redemption Accounts in the Bond Fund, the Series 2007
Debt Service Reserve Account in the Debt Service Reserve Fund and, as described below, the
Pledged CFC Revenues on deposit in the Series 2007 Pledged CFC Account and Series 2007
CFC Coverage Subaccount in the Customer Facility Charge Fund.
THE SERIES 2007 BONDS AND THE INTEREST THEREON DO NOT
CONSTITUTE A DEBT, LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION OF THE STATE, THE COUNTY
OR ANY OTHER POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF (OTHER THAN A SPECIAL
OBLIGATION OF THE COUNTY) AND NEITHER THE FAITH AND CREDIT NOR THE
TAXING POWER OF THE STATE, THE COUNTY OR ANY OTHER POLITICAL
SUBDIVISION THEREOF IS PLEDGED TO THE PAYMENT OF THE SERIES 2007
BONDS OR THE INTEREST THEREON.
Net Revenues
Under the Indenture, the County has irrevocably pledged the Net Revenues to the
payment of the Series 2007 Bonds. As described above, such Net Revenues are also pledged
to secure the Series 2003 Bonds and any additional Bonds issued pursuant to the terms of the
Indenture. Net Revenues are defined in the Indenture to mean Revenues less amounts needed
to pay Operation and Maintenance Expenses (as hereinafter defined).
Revenues are defined in the Indenture to mean all income and revenues received or
accrued by the County in connection with the ownership, operation or use of, or otherwise
related to the Airports System, including, but not limited to, (a) rentals, fees, and other charges
for the use of or with respect to the Airports, (b) proceeds of business interruption insurance, and
such other moneys designated as "Revenues" pursuant to the terms of a Supplemental Indenture;
provided, however, that Revenues shall not include (A) interest income on, and any profit
realized from, the investment of moneys in any Fund or Account to the extent that such income
or profit is not transferred to, or retained in, the Revenue Fund, the Repair and Rehabilitation
Fund, the Operation and Maintenance Fund or the Bond Fund; (B) interest income on, and any
profit realized from, the investment of moneys in any fund or account funded from the proceeds
of Special Facility Bonds; (C) amounts received by the County from, or in connection with,
Special Facilities, unless such funds are treated as Revenues by the County; (D) grants-in-aid,
donations, bequests and/or amounts received as reimbursements for previously expended money
unless the County has lawfully elected that such grant, donation, bequest or reimbursement is to
be treated as Revenues; (E) insurance proceeds which are not deemed to be Revenues in
11
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; (F) the proceeds of any condemnation
awards; (G) the proceeds of any sale of land, buildings or equipment; (H) proceeds of a drawing
under a Credit Facility; (I) passenger facility charge revenue; (J) Bond proceeds; (K) all revenue
sources, such as, but not limited to, cargo facilities charges and CFCs imposed on rental car
customers, unless such revenue sources are treated as Revenues by the County; and (L) any other
amounts which are not deemed to be Revenues in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles or which are restricted as to their use.
Operation and Maintenance Expenses are defined in the Indenture to mean all expenses
of the County paid or accrued for the operation, maintenance, administration, and ordinary
current repairs of the Airports, including certain payments to the Federal Government pursuant to
the Eglin Agreements. Operation and Maintenance Expenses shall not include (a) the Principal
Amount of, Redemption Premium, if any, or Interest on any Bonds; (b) any allowance for
amortization or depreciation of the Airport Facilities; (c) any other expense for which (or to the
extent to which) the County is or will be paid or reimbursed from or through any source that is
not included or includable as Revenues; (d) any extraordinary items arising from the early
extinguishment of debt; or (e) any expense paid with amounts from the Repair and Rehabilitation
Fund.
Series 2003 Bonds; Pledged PFC Revenues
The County has previously issued its Airport Revenue Bonds, Series 2003, which are
secured by the Net Revenues on a parity with the Series 2007 Bonds. The Series 2003 Bonds
are also secured by certain passenger facility charges (“PFCs”), which do not secure the
Series 2007 Bonds. The Series 2003 Bonds are not payable from the Pledged CFC Revenues.
The County’s expectation with respect to the Series 2007 Bonds is that the PFC revenues will
pay for the debt service associated with the Series 2003 Bonds. See "OKALOOSA REGIONAL
AIRPORT – Passenger Facility Charges."
Pledged CFC Revenues
The Second Supplemental Indenture pledges the County's receipts from a Customer
Facility Charge ("CFC"). The CFC was imposed, as more fully described below, at $2.50 per
transaction day on all rental car contracts issued for the rental of passenger motor vehicles at the
Airport effective December 1, 2004. The CFC was increased to an amount of $3.25 per
transaction day effective July 1, 2007. The CFC has no stated expiration date.
The Pledged CFC Revenues are not pledged to secure the Series 2003 Bonds. The
County's expectation with respect to the Series 2007 Bonds is that Pledged CFC Revenues will
pay the debt service associated with the Series 2007 Bonds.
The CFC was imposed pursuant to Ordinance No. 04-64 of the County, enacted October
19, 2004, as amended by Ordinance No. 07-21 of the County, enacted May 1, 2007 (collectively,
the “CFC Ordinance”). Under the terms of the CFC Ordinance, the CFC is defined as a charge
of $3.25 per Rental Car Transaction Day. "Rental Car Transaction Day" is defined as each 24hour period, or fraction thereof, within a rental period under or pursuant to a Rental Car
12
Contract. "Rental Car Contract" means the document or documents (whether written, electronic
or otherwise) under or pursuant to which any Rental Car Operator rents, arranges for the rental
of, and/or delivers possession of a passenger motor vehicle to a customer. Each Rental Car
Operator is obligated under the CFC Ordinance to remit to the County all CFCs imposed on its
customers pursuant to the CFC Ordinance, whether or not they are actually collected from its
customers.
See "REPORT OF THE AIRPORT CONSULTANT", Appendix B herein, including
Table 5.5, which contains an analysis of the rental car industry, historical collection data and a
projection of CFC Revenues, their anticipated application, and remaining cumulative balances.
Rate Covenant
Pursuant to the Indenture, the County covenants and agrees that it will take all lawful
and available measures to fix and adjust from time to time the rentals, rates, fees and other
charges for the use of the Airports calculated to be at least sufficient to produce (i) Net
Revenues (including Pledged CFC Revenues), plus (ii) Pledged PFC Revenue plus (iii)
amounts, if any, in the Revenue Fund Coverage Account and all PFC Coverage Subaccounts
(collectively, "Amounts Available to Pay Debt Service"), to provide for the greater of either:
(A) (to the extent not otherwise paid from other legally available funds of the
County) the amounts needed for making the required deposits in the Fiscal Year of the County
to the Principal Accounts, the Interest Accounts, the Redemption Accounts, the Debt Service
Reserve Fund, the Operation and Maintenance Reserve Account, the Repair and Rehabilitation
Fund and the Subordinated Indebtedness Fund; or
(B)
an amount not less than 125% of the aggregate Annual Debt Service with respect
to Outstanding Bonds for such Fiscal Year.
The County also covenants in the Indenture that if, upon the receipt of the audit report
for a Fiscal Year, Amounts Available to Pay Debt Service in such Fiscal Year are less than the
amounts specified in (A) or (B) above, the County will take all lawful and available measures
to revise the schedule of rentals, rates, fees and charges for the use of the Airports so as to
generate Amounts Available to Pay Debt Service sufficient to produce the amounts specified
in (A) or (B) above in the Fiscal Year following the Fiscal Year covered by such audit report.
In the event that Amounts Available to Pay Debt Service for any Fiscal Year are less
than the amounts specified in (A) or (B) above, but the County promptly has taken in the next
Fiscal Year all available lawful measures to revise the schedule of rentals, rates, fees and
charges for the use of the Airports so as to generate amounts required in the preceding
paragraph, the Indenture provides that there shall be no Event of Default under the Indenture.
Nevertheless, if after taking the measures required above to revise the schedule of rentals,
rates, fees and charges for use of the Airports, Amounts Available to Pay Debt Service in such
next Fiscal Year during which such adjustments are required to be made (as evidenced by the
audit report for such Fiscal Year) are still less than the amounts specified in (A) or (B) above,
such failure shall constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture.
13
Debt Service Reserve Fund
The Indenture establishes a Debt Service Reserve Fund and provides for the
establishment of separate accounts therein pursuant to Supplemental Indentures for each Series
of Bonds issued under the Indenture. Amounts in each Series Account in the Debt Service
Reserve Fund are to be used to pay debt service on the related Series of Bonds on the date
such debt service is due when insufficient funds for that purpose are available in the Bond
Fund; provided, however, that all amounts in an Account in the Debt Service Reserve Fund are
to be used, together with other amounts available for such purpose under the Master Indenture
as supplemented, to provide for payment of the related Series of Bonds when the aggregate of
such amounts is sufficient for such purpose. Amounts in each Account of the Debt Service
Reserve Fund will be pledged only to Holders of Bonds of the related Series; provided,
however, if so provided in a Supplemental Indenture, upon the issuance of a Series of
Refunding Bonds to refund a portion of a Series of Outstanding Bonds, amounts in the related
Account of the Debt Service Reserve Fund securing the Series of Outstanding Bonds may be
pledged both to the Holders of the unrefunded portion of the Series of Outstanding Bonds and
the Holders of the Series of Refunding Bonds on a combined basis.
The Second Supplemental Indenture establishes the 2007 Series Account in the Debt
Service Reserve Fund and establishes the 2007 Series Debt Service Reserve Fund Requirement
at an amount equal to the least of the following amounts: (a) 10% of the original proceeds of the
Series 2007 Bonds; (b) the Maximum Annual Debt Service on the Series 2007 Bonds occurring
in any Fiscal Year of the Issuer; and (c) 125% of the average Annual Debt Service on the Series
2007 Bonds. "Maximum Annual Debt Service" means the maximum amount of payments
required to be made for principal, interest, sinking fund redemption, reimbursement payments to
Credit Providers, Credit Facility fees, Trustee, Paying Agent and other fiduciary fees and
payments due under a Swap Agreement scheduled to come due within a specified Fiscal Year of
the County or within one day thereafter, if any, with respect to the Series 2007 Bonds for any
Fiscal Year during the term of the Series 2007 Bonds. See “APPENDIX C -- Forms of the
Master Indenture of Trust, The First Supplemental Indenture and the Second Supplemental
Indenture”, herein.
In the event that the balance in the 2007 Series Debt Service Reserve Account is less
than the Debt Service Reserve Fund Requirement following a withdrawal therefrom or the
occurrence of a deficiency resulting from a valuation or the sale of an investment amounts in
the Revenue Fund are to be deposited in such account in equal monthly installments over a
twelve (12) month period sufficient to restore the balance therein to the 2007 Series Debt
Service Reserve Fund Requirement, in accordance with the priority of the flow of funds under
the Indenture. See "FLOW OF FUNDS - Revenues" herein.
Under the Second Supplemental Indenture, such deficiencies are also required to be
funded by monthly deposits of CFC Revenues, to the extent CFC Revenues are legally available
for debt service on the Series 2007 Bonds. As noted above, 100% of CFC Revenues are
expected to be so available.
14
The Indenture provides that in lieu of or in addition to cash or investments, at any time
the County may cause to be deposited to the credit of a Series Account in the Debt Service
Reserve Fund, any form of Credit Facility in an amount which, together with cash, investments
and any other Credit Facilities on deposit in such Debt Service Reserve Fund, will equal the
amount of the related Series Debt Service Reserve Fund Requirement as provided for in the
appropriate Supplemental Indenture, irrevocably payable to the Trustee as beneficiary for the
holders of the related Series of Bonds. The Credit Provider will be required to notify the County
and the Trustee at least twenty-four (24) months prior to expiration of the Credit Facility. If (A)
the County receives such expiration notice and the Credit Provider does not extend its expiration
date, (B) the County and the Trustee receive notice of the termination of the Credit Facility or
(C) the credit rating of the Credit Provider is no longer in the two highest credit rating categories
by two Rating Agencies, the County must (x) provide a substitute Credit Facility that meets the
requirements set forth in the foregoing sentences, (y) deposit the applicable Series Debt Service
Reserve Fund Requirement to the related Series Account in the Debt Service Reserve Fund (1) in
equal monthly installments over the next succeeding twelve (12) months, in the case of receipt of
an expiration notice, (2) prior to the termination date, in the case of receipt of a termination
notice, or (3) within 180 days, in the case of such reduction in credit rating, or (z) instruct the
Trustee to draw on such Credit Facility in the amount of the related Series Debt Service Reserve
Fund Requirement (1) twelve (12) months prior to expiration of the Credit Facility in the case of
receipt of an expiration notice, (2) prior to the termination date in the case of receipt of a
termination notice, or (3) after 180 days in the case of such reduction, in credit rating. The
Trustee shall deposit the proceeds of such drawing to such Series Account in the Debt Service
Reserve Fund.
The 2007 Debt Service Reserve Fund Requirement for the Series 2007 Bonds is
$892,975.00 and will be funded on the date of issuance of the Series 2007 Bonds from the
proceeds of the Series 2007 Bonds.
Additional Bonds
General.
The Indenture permits the issuance of Additional Bonds payable from
Net Revenues on a parity with the Series 2007 Bonds, under certain circumstances as set forth
below.
Additional Bonds. Additional Bonds may be issued under the Indenture, so long as
the County is not in default, as evidenced by a Certificate of No Default executed by an
Authorized Representative, upon satisfaction of one of the following conditions:
for each of the next five (5) full Fiscal Years following issuance of the Additional
Bonds, or each full Fiscal Year from issuance of the Additional Bonds through three
(3) full Fiscal Years following completion of the project or projects financed by the
Additional Bonds proposed to be issued, whichever is later, (i) An Airport Consultant
has provided to the Trustee a certificate stating that, based upon reasonable
assumptions set forth therein, Amounts Available to Pay Debt Service are projected to
be equal to at least 125% of Annual Debt Service (disregarding any Bonds that have
been paid or discharged or will be paid or discharged immediately after the issuance of
15
the Additional Bonds proposed to be issued) provided, however, that if capitalized
interest on any Bonds and proposed Additional Bonds is to be applied in the last Fiscal
Year of the period described in this sentence, the Airport Consultant shall extend the
test through the first three (3) full Fiscal Years for which there is no longer capitalized
interest, or
(ii) the County has provided to the Trustee a certificate stating that in the most
recent completed Fiscal Year for which an independent audit is available or any
consecutive twelve (12) month period out of the last eighteen (18) months Amounts
Available to Pay Debt Service were not less than 125% of (A) Annual Debt Service on
Bonds Outstanding in such Fiscal Year or such period (disregarding any Bonds that
have been paid or discharged or that will be paid or discharged immediately after the
issuance of such Additional Bonds proposed to be issued), plus (B) Maximum Annual
Debt Service with respect to such Additional Bonds proposed to be issued.
Under the First Supplemental Indenture, consent by ACA Financial Guaranty
Corporation, the insurer of the Series 2003 Bonds, and under the Second Supplemental
Indenture, consent by Radian Asset Assurance Inc., the Insurer for the Series 2007 Bonds is
required for issuance of Additional Bonds unless the County complies with the provisions of the
paragraphs set forth above but substituting 150% in place of 125% in clause (i) and clause (ii)
therein.
The County may issue Bond Anticipation Notes, secured on a parity as to the pledge of
Net Revenues with Bonds issued pursuant to the Indenture, provided that the requirements set
forth above are met. For such purpose, Bond Anticipation Notes shall be deemed to have level
debt service (assuming an interest rate equal to The Bond Buyer 25 Bond Revenue Bond Index)
over the anticipated term of the Bonds to be issued to retire such Bond Anticipation Notes.
Refunding Bonds. With respect to Additional Bonds proposed to be issued as
Refunding Bonds, such Bonds may be issued provided that either the requirements set forth
above are satisfied, or the County shall have provided to the Trustee a certificate with an
accompanying schedule indicating that, after issuance of the Refunding Bonds (i) there is no
increase in Maximum Annual Debt Service and (ii) either (A) there is a decrease in the sum of
all Annual Debt Service payable on all Bonds then Outstanding or (B) in each Fiscal Year, the
Annual Debt Service with respect to the Refunding Bonds will be equal to or less than the
Annual Debt Service with respect to the Bonds to be refunded.
Completion Bonds. With respect to Additional Bonds proposed to be issued as
Completion Bonds in order to finish the 2007 Project or portion thereof, the Additional Bonds
test described above need not be met; provided, however, the aggregate Principal Amount of
such Completion Bonds shall be limited to ten percent (10%) of the amount specified in the
Supplemental Indenture in which the initial Series of Bonds issued to finance such project was
authorized as the total principal amount of Bonds and Subordinated Indebtedness originally
projected to be required to complete the funding of such project (as defined in such
Supplemental Indenture). The Construction Manager shall provide a certificate stating the total
estimated cost to complete the project and that the proceeds of the Completion Bonds will not
16
be used for costs related to material changes in the scope of such project. The Financial
Advisor, in reliance on the Construction Manager's certificate, shall provide a certificate
stating (i) the anticipated total principal amount of Bonds and Subordinated Indebtedness
required to finance the project as set forth in the Supplemental Indenture and the principal
amount of Completion Bonds to be issued, and (ii) that the proceeds of the Completion Bonds
are projected to be sufficient to complete the project.
Subordinated Indebtedness. Under the Indenture, the County may incur Subordinated
Indebtedness secured by a lien on Net Revenues and the Trust Estate which is junior and
subordinate to the lien securing the Bonds. Any such Subordinate Indebtedness is required to
have the same payment dates as the Series 2007 Bonds and may not be accelerated without the
consent of the Insurer for the Series 2007 Bonds. See “APPENDIX C – FORMS OF THE

The following information has been furnished by Radian Asset Assurance Inc. ("Radian") for
use in the Official Statement. Reference is made to Appendix F for a specimen of Radian's policy.
FINANCIAL GUARANTY INSURANCE
Description of the Financial Guaranty Insurance Policy
A financial guaranty insurance policy (the "Policy") will be issued by Radian Asset
Assurance Inc. (the "Insurer") simultaneously with the issuance and delivery of the Bonds. The
Policy is noncancelable during its term and provides for the prompt payment of principal of and
interest on the Bonds to the extent that The Bank of New York, New York, New York, as
Trustee (the "Trustee"), has not received sufficient funds from Okaloosa County, Florida (the
17
"Issuer") for payment of the Bonds on the "due date." The Insurer is obligated to make the
required payment on the later of the due date or the first business day after which the Insurer has
received notice from The Bank of New York, as Insurance Trustee (the "Insurance Trustee"),
that the Issuer has failed to pay amounts due on the Bonds. Under the Policy, the "due date" of
the Bonds, when referring to the payment of principal, means the stated maturity date thereof or
the date on which payment of principal is due by reason of mandatory sinking fund payments
and does not mean any earlier date on which payment is due by reason of any call for
redemption, acceleration, or other advancement of maturity, other than in the discretion of the
Insurer. With respect to interest on the Bonds, the "due date" means the stated date for payment
of interest. The Policy guarantees reimbursement of any recovery of any such payment from a
Holder or the Trustee pursuant to a final judgment by any court of competent jurisdiction holding
that such payment constituted a voidable preference within the meaning of any applicable
bankruptcy law.
For specific information on the coverage provided, reference should be made to the
Policy that has been reproduced in specimen form in Appendix F hereto. The Policy does not
insure against nonpayment of principal or interest on the Bonds due to the insolvency,
misconduct or negligence of the Trustee. The Policy does not insure the payment of any
redemption premium.

This information shall be deemed to be incorporated herein by reference and to be a part of this
Official Statement.
Any documents, including any financial statements or financial information of the Insurer
and its subsidiaries that are included therein or attached as exhibit thereto, filed by Radian
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, after the date of Radian's most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (as listed in (b)

the offering of the Bonds offered hereby, that refer to the Insurer or relate to the financial
guaranty business or financial guaranty insurance shall be deemed to be referred to above,
incorporated by reference into this Official Statement from the respective dates of filing such
documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
by reference herein, or otherwise contained in this Official Statement, shall be deemed to be
modified or superseded for purposes hereof to the extent that a statement contained herein or in
any subsequently filed document which also is or deemed incorporated herein by reference
modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not
be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Official Statement.
A complete copy of the Radian Financial Statements is available from the Insurer upon
written request.
The Insurer is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Radian, a publicly owned
corporation with its shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange (symbol "RDN"). Radian is
a global credit risk management company headquartered in Philadelphia with significant
operations in both New York and London. Radian develops innovative financial solutions by
applying its core mortgage credit risk expertise and structured finance capabilities to the credit
enhancement needs of the capital markets worldwide, primarily through credit insurance
products. The company also provides credit enhancement for public finance and other corporate
and consumer assets on both a direct and reinsurance basis and holds strategic interests in creditbased consumer asset businesses. Additional information may be found at www.radian.biz.
NONE OF RADIAN, RADIAN'S OTHER SUBSIDIARIES OR ANY OF RADIAN'S
INVESTORS IS OBLIGATED TO PAY THE DEBTS OF OR CLAIMS AGAINST THE
INSURER.
The Insurer is licensed and subject to regulation as a financial guaranty insurance
corporation under the laws of the State of New York, its state of domicile. In addition, Radian
20
and its insurance subsidiaries are subject to regulation by insurance laws of the various other
jurisdictions in which they are licensed to do business. As a financial guaranty insurance
corporation licensed to do business in the State of New York, the Insurer is subject to Article 69
of the New York Insurance Law which, among other things, limits the business of each financial
guaranty insurer to financial guaranty insurance and related business lines, requires that each
financial guaranty insurer maintain a minimum surplus to policyholders, establishes contingency,
loss and unearned premium reserve requirements for each financial guaranty insurer, and limits
the size of individual transactions and the volume of transactions that may be underwritten by
each financial guaranty insurer. Other provisions of the New York Insurance Law, applicable to
non-life insurance companies such as the Insurer regulate, among other things, permitted
investments, payment of dividends, transactions with affiliates, mergers, consolidations,
acquisitions or sales of assets and incurrence of liability for borrowings.
Neither the Insurer nor any of its affiliates accepts any responsibility for the accuracy or
completeness of, nor have they participated in the preparation of, this Official Statement or any
information or disclosure that is provided to potential purchasers of the Bonds, or omitted from
such disclosure, other than with respect to the accuracy of information presented under the
heading "FINANCIAL GUARANTY INSURANCE" and as set forth in Appendix F of this
Official Statement. The Insurer's role is limited to providing the coverage set forth in the Policy.
In addition, the Insurer makes no representation regarding the Bonds or the advisability of
purchasing the Bonds.
On February 6, 2007, Radian and MGIC Investment Corporation (NYSE: MTG)
("MGIC") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which Radian agreed,
subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, to merge with and into MGIC. On
September 4, 2007, facing market conditions that had made combining the companies
significantly more challenging, Radian and MGIC entered into an agreement that terminated the
Agreement and Plan of Merger, abandoned the merger contemplated by such agreement and
released each other from related claims. Neither company made a payment to the other in
connection with the termination.
The current ratings of the Insurer are "AA" (outlook stable) by Standard & Poor's Ratings
Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. ("S&P") and "Aa3" (outlook stable)
from Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"). As discussed below, Radian has formally
requested that Fitch Ratings Services ("Fitch") immediately withdraw its insurer financial
strength ratings on the Insurer. Notwithstanding this withdrawal request, Fitch continues to
maintain an A+ (Ratings Watch Evolving) rating on the Insurer.
On September 5, 2007, S&P published a report stating that, unlike the ratings for Radian
and its mortgage insurance subsidiaries ("Radian MI") which are on CreditWatch with negative
implications, the "AA" rating on the Insurer is not on CreditWatch. This report also indicated
that Radian's management has stated that it is willing to take whatever reasonably practicable
steps would be necessary to protect the Insurer from the weaker holding company and affiliates
were Radian and Radian MI to be downgraded.
21
On September 5, 2007, Moody's affirmed the Insurer's "Aa3" insurance financial strength
rating and stable outlook. Moody's attributed this affirmation to the Insurer's stable earnings,
limited exposure to residential mortgage risk and the diversity of its direct financial guaranty and
reinsurance portfolio. Moody's stated that it believes the Insurer is adequately capitalized for the
risk of its insured portfolio and that Radian's $100 million capital infusion into the Insurer will
further bolster the Insurer's capital position, enhancing its flexibility to continue to write new
business.
On July 31, 2007, Fitch placed the “AA” insurer financial strength rating of the Insurer,
all obligations insured by the Insurer and all of Radian’s other insurance subsidiaries on Rating
Watch Negative. On September 5, 2007, following the announcement of the termination of the
pending merger between Radian and MGIC, Fitch downgraded the insurer financial strength
rating of the Insurer and the ratings for all obligations insured by the Insurer to “A+” from “AA”
and revised the Rating Watch on the Insurer to “Evolving” from “Negative.” Fitch stated that
the Ratings Watch Evolving on the Insurer indicates that the ratings of the Insurer could be
raised, lowered or affirmed within the very near-term. Absent additional financial or capital
support from either internal or external means, Fitch indicated it is likely that the Insurer’s
ratings will be lowered further, but if additional financial backing is forthcoming, Fitch will
evaluate that level of support and will consider upgrading the Insurer’s ratings at that time.
On September 5, 2007, Radian formally requested that Fitch immediately withdraw all of
its ratings for Radian and its subsidiaries, including the insurer financial strength ratings on the
Insurer. Consequently, Radian has ceased providing information to Fitch in support of its ratings
of the Insurer. On September 9, 2007, Fitch announced that it would not honor Radian’s request
at that time in light of the current high level of investor interest in both the mortgage insurance
and financial guaranty industries, but that Fitch would instead monitor investor interest and make
a decision with respect to Radian’s request at a future date based on market feedback. Fitch also
acknowledged that it would withdraw its ratings of Radian and its subsidiaries regardless of
investor interest if it believed that it no longer had access to adequate public and non-public
information to credibly maintain its ratings.
The ratings of S&P, Moody's and Fitch reflect only the views of the applicable rating
agency, respectively, do not constitute a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and are
subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by such rating agencies. Any further explanation of
any rating may be obtained only from the applicable rating agency. Any downward revision or
withdrawal of any of the above ratings may have an adverse effect on the market price of the
Bonds. The Insurer does not guarantee the market price or investment value of the Bonds nor
does it guarantee that the ratings on the Bonds will not be revised or withdrawn.
FLOW OF FUNDS
Revenues
The County's Revenues are deposited upon receipt in the Revenue Fund held by the
County. On or before the 25th day of each month, the County is required to withdraw money
from the Revenue Fund for application as follows:
22
(1)
to the Operation and Maintenance Fund, held by the County, for monthly
Operation and Maintenance Expenses;
(2)
to the applicable Interest Account in the Bond Fund, an amount, which together
with amounts transferred from any Pledged PFC Account relating thereto and amounts
transferred from the Pledged CFC Account relating thereto, is equal to one-sixth (1/6th) of the
next interest payment due after such date with respect to each Series of Bonds provided,
however, that the Issuer shall be credited with any amount which is on deposit in a Capitalized
Interest Account relating to the next interest payment on such Series in the Construction Fund.
(3)
to the applicable Principal Account or Redemption Account as the case may be in
the Bond Fund, an amount, which together with amounts transferred from any Pledged PFC
Account relating thereto and amounts transferred from the Pledged CFC Account relating
thereto, is equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the next principal payment or mandatory sinking fund
payment due after such date with respect to each Series of Bonds.
(4)
except as described above or in the applicable Supplemental Indenture, to the
Debt Service Reserve Fund, held by the Trustee, 1/12th of the amount required to restore any
deficiency in the Debt Service Reserve Requirement, after taking into account any monthly
transfers from a Pledged CFC Account or other similar account established under a
Supplemental Indenture (including the Pledged PFC Account established with respect to the
Series 2003 Bonds and the First Supplemental Indenture);
(5)
to the Operation and Maintenance Reserve Account, held by the County, 1/12th of
the amount necessary to restore any deficiency in the Operation and Maintenance Reserve
Account Requirement (which is established under the Indenture as 1/6 of the amount budgeted in
the County's then current Fiscal Year for Operation and Maintenance Expenses);
(6)
to the Revenue Fund Coverage Account held by the County, the amount (in 12
equal monthly installments) needed to restore to such account the Revenue Fund Coverage
Amount (25% of Annual Debt Service in any Fiscal Year, less the amount on deposit in the CFC
Coverage Subaccounts or similar accounts established under a Supplemental Indenture,
including the Pledged PFC Coverage Subaccount established with respect to the Series 2003
Bonds under the First Supplemental Indenture, if any). The County expects to be able to deposit
into a Series 2007 CFC Coverage Subaccount the full coverage amount from CFC Revenues
simultaneously with issuance of the Series 2007 Bonds.
(7)
to the Repair and Rehabilitation Fund, held by the County, the amount (in 12
equal monthly installments) necessary to restore any deficiency in the Repair and Rehabilitation
Fund Requirement (initially $500,000, adjusted as provided in the Indenture);
(8)
to the Subordinated Indebtedness Fund, held by the County, the amount required
for debt service on Subordinated Indebtedness;
(9)
to the Rebate Fund, amounts required to provide for rebate on tax-exempt Bonds;
and
23
(10) unless otherwise provided by Supplemental Indenture, to the Airports General
Purpose Fund, all money remaining in the Revenue Fund. The First Supplemental Indenture and
Second Supplemental Indenture require Revenues to be used to fully fund the Debt Service
Reserve Fund prior to any deposit to the Airports General Purpose Fund.
In calculating the amount of any required deposit to a Fund or Account under the
Indenture, credit may be taken for all interest earnings and other amounts lawfully held in such
Fund or Account.
Whenever the amount in a Fund or Account exceeds the amount then required to be on
deposit therein, (i) as to Funds and Accounts held by the County, the County may, or (ii) as to
Funds and Accounts held by the Trustee the Trustee shall, at the written direction of the County
(but only from money held by the Trustee under the Indenture), transfer the excess to the
Revenue Fund or the Airports General Purpose Fund.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, money may be deposited into any
Fund or Account from any legally available source, including but not limited to the Airports
General Purpose established under the Indenture.
Customer Facility Charge Revenues
All receipts from the Customer Facility Charge ("CFC Revenue") are deposited into the
2007 Pledged CFC Account therein until, in each month, the amount on deposit in the 2007
Pledged CFC Account equals (i) the CFC Debt Service on the Series 2007 Bonds for such month
and (ii) the product of (I) any required deposit to the 2007 Debt Service Reserve Account times
(II) the CFC Debt Service Percentage. Any remaining receipts of CFC Revenues shall be
deposited into the 2007 CFC Coverage Subaccount in the amount necessary to maintain therein
the 2007 CFC Coverage Amount, which is defined as 25% of the Debt Service on the Series
2007 Bonds during any Fiscal Year. CFC Revenue in the Customer Facility Charge Fund in
excess of the amount required to be transferred to the 2007 Pledged CFC Account and the 2007
CFC Coverage Subaccount shall remain in the Customer Facility Charge Fund, and invested
pursuant to the Indenture; however, such excess CFC Revenues may be pledged to secure other
indebtedness and are not pledged to secure the Series 2007 Bonds. The CFC Debt Service
Percentage is defined in the Second Supplemental Indenture as determined by dividing the total
costs of CFC Eligible Projects funded from proceeds of the Series 2007 Bonds by the total cost
of the 2007 Project. The County expects the total project funded from proceeds of the Series
2007 Bonds to be CFC-Eligible, and the CFC Debt Service Percentage to thus be 100%.
Monthly debt service on the Series 2007 Bonds and any required deposit to the 2007
Debt Service Reserve Account will be transferred from the 2007 Pledged CFC Account or, as
necessary, the 2007 CFC Coverage Subaccount on or before the 25th day of each month to the
required Accounts in the Bond Fund for payment of the Series 2007 Bonds and to the 2007 Debt
Service Reserve Account if required to restore a deficiency therein. See "FORM OF THE
MASTER INDENTURE, THE FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE AND THE SECOND
SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE," Appendix "C" hereto.
24
Construction Fund
The Indenture creates an Airport Construction Fund, to be held by the County, which
will contain one or more Project Accounts, a Cost of Issuance Account for each Series of
Bonds and may contain a Capitalized Interest Account for each Series of Bonds therein and
such other accounts as may be specified in the applicable Supplemental Indenture. Moneys,
instruments and securities in the Construction Fund shall be held by the County in each Project
Account, in trust for and subject to a pledge and lien in favor of the Holders of the Bonds of
such Series until such moneys have been committed or encumbered to pay lawfully incurred
obligations of the County in connection with paying the Costs of Airport Facilities. The
County covenants that the moneys in such Project Accounts will be applied, in accordance
with the provisions of the Indenture, to the payment of the Cost of the Airport Facilities
financed by such Series of Bonds.
After payments of, and reimbursements with respect to, all costs of issuance of a Series
of Bonds to be financed with proceeds of such Bonds, any amounts remaining in the applicable
Cost of Issuance Account of the Series of Bonds will be transferred to the applicable Project
Account in the Construction Fund and used to pay the Cost of the Airport Facilities financed
by the applicable Series of Bonds.
After payments of, and reimbursements with respect to, the Projects financed by the
related Series of Bonds are completed, as certified by the County, the Project Manager and the
Construction Manager and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing in the
payment of the Principal Amount of or Interest on any Bonds, surplus money in the related
Project Account in the Construction Fund will be applied (i) to eliminate any deficiency in the
related Series Account of the Debt Service Reserve Fund, (ii) for any other Cost of Airport
Facilities, (iii) to the Principal Account, or (iv) to the Redemption Account, if so required by
the applicable Supplemental Indenture.
Pursuant to the Second Supplemental Indenture, there will be established in the
Construction Fund a 2007 Series Project Account, a 2007 Series Cost of Issuance Account and
a 2007 Series Capitalized Interest Account. See "SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS" herein.
THE AIRLINE AGREEMENTS
The County has executed Signatory Airline Operating Agreements and Terminal
Building Leases ("Airline Agreements") with Atlantic Southeast, ExpressJet, American Eagle
and Northwest airlines, each of which operate as signatory carriers at the Airport. Under
provisions in the Agreement, Delta currently operates as an affiliate of Atlantic Southeast and
Gulfstream operates as an affiliate of ExpressJet. The provisions of the Airline Agreements
commenced (other than with respect to airlines that began service after such date) October 1,
2003 and unless terminated sooner, shall expire on September 30, 2008.
Pursuant to the terms of the Airline Agreement, the County calculates airline terminal
rentals under a compensatory approach with revenue sharing credits under which the airlines pay
25
for their specific use of the terminal area. The calculation of landing fees is determined based on
a residual approach with revenue sharing credits. See the "REPORT OF AIRPORT
CONSULTANT", Appendix B herein, at Section 5.2.5, for a discussion of the detailed
methodology used to calculate terminal rental rates, landing fees and security charges, less
revenue sharing credits, due under the Airline Agreements. Non-Signatory airlines (of which
there currently are none) are required to pay certain non-signatory rates. Amounts due under the
Airline Agreements compose a substantial part of the Net Revenues.
The County has covenanted in the Indenture that it will not amend or terminate the
Airline Agreements in any manner which would impair the ability of the County to comply
with its Rate Covenant. See "SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2007 BONDS -- Rate
Covenant". For a discussion of the airlines, see "THE AIRLINES AND THE AIRLINE
INDUSTRY".
For a discussion of parking, concession, general aviation and other non-airline
revenues, see "OKALOOSA REGIONAL AIRPORT -- Airport Financial Operations".

obtained from the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court.
OKALOOSA REGIONAL AIRPORT
The following sets forth a summary description of the Okaloosa Regional Airport and its
operations. For more detailed information, please see "APPENDIX B -- Report of the Airport
Consultant," herein.
General
The Airport is located approximately six miles northwest of the City of Fort Walton Beach,
Florida, in Okaloosa County, Florida, on approximately 108 acres of land on Eglin Air Force Base.
Eglin Air Force Base is the largest Air Force base in the world, covering 724 square miles of land
and approximately 123,000 square miles of water ranges in the Gulf of Mexico. The base is under
the direction of the Air Material Command and the Air Armament Center. The Air Armament
Center is responsible for planning, development, direction, and testing and evaluation of U.S. and
allied air armament, navigation/guidance systems, and command and control systems for all airdelivered weapons. Eglin houses over fifty associate units of the Air Force, including specialized
schools, operations and tactical wings, laboratories and research units. The Airport is located on
the western side of the military airfield. The County has leased the property on which the Airport
sits from the Department of the Air Force for many years. The current lease (the "Lease") was
executed on July 30, 2007 and ends on July 29, 2032. The rent payable under the Lease is
$318,000 per year, escalated at 3% per year thereafter. The Lease may be terminated by the Air
Force for failure to cure a default under the Lease during a reasonable cure period, or at any time
during any national emergency. The Lease may also be terminated or suspended 30 days after a
determination by the Secretary of the Air Force that paramount military necessity at Eglin Air
Force Base requires such suspension or termination. The County may terminate the Lease upon 90
days' notice. Under the Lease, the County is required to pay any taxes or assessments imposed
28
upon the County with respect to the Airport property, to maintain the property in good order and
condition, to repair or replace damaged property, to bear the risk of loss of the leased premises and
to insure such risk.
The Lease provides that all construction or alterations to the Airport must be approved by
the Air Force and the County's operation of the Airport is subject to the priority and primacy of the
Air Force's mission at Eglin Air Force Base, in the judgment of the Base Commander.
The Airport is one of 22 joint-use airports in the country. The Airport's civil aviation
operations share the military runways at Eglin Air Force Base and use Eglin's air traffic control
facilities to coordinate aircraft operations. Pursuant to a 30-year Joint-Use Agreement expiring in
2031, the Air Force permits civilian aircraft to use the flying facilities at Eglin Air Force Base for
not more than 84 landings and takeoffs per day, under the control of the Air Force control tower,
and subject to priority for military takeoffs and landings. This agreement is subject to suspension
or termination on a similar basis to the Lease, described above. The County pays an annual
amount based on operations to reimburse the Air Force for its share of the cost of operating and
maintaining the flying facilities.

Service Area
The Airport Consultant has prepared a detailed analysis of the Airport's service area in its
Report of the Airport Consultant, attached as Appendix B herein.
The area primarily served by the Airport (the "Air Trade Area") is Okaloosa County and a
portion of its two adjoining Florida counties, Santa Rosa County and Walton County. The Air
Trade Area is located in the panhandle of Florida along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. The City
of Fort Walton Beach is the largest city within the Air Trade Area and is located approximately
151 miles west of Tallahassee and 41 miles east of Pensacola.
Passengers originating from adjacent Escambia, Holmes, and Washington counties in
Florida, as well as Southern Alabama, may constitute a secondary service area, but most
passengers using the Airport originate in the Air Trade Area.
There is no connecting or hub activity at the Airport, and all passengers are "origin and
destination passengers."
30
The nearest competing airports are Pensacola Regional Airport, 50 miles to the west, and
Panama City-Bay County International Airport, 66 miles to the east. Panama City is in the process
of relocating their airport to a new site on the west side of Bay County approximately 58 miles to
the east of the Airport. The new Panama City-Bay County International Airport is expected to be
operational in 2010.
Set forth below is the historical regional share of enplanements for the Okaloosa Regional
Airport, the Pensacola Regional Airport and the Panama City-Bay County International Airport.

Airfield Facilities
The airfield facilities at the Airport (the “Airfield”) consist of two precision instrument
runways, Runway 12/30 and Runway 1/19, together with associated taxiways, aircraft parking
aprons and an Air Force air traffic control tower. Runway 12/30 is 12,005 feet long and runway
1/19 is 10,012 feet long and both are equipped with high intensity runway edge lighting with
sequenced flashers located on each end of the runways. Both runways are available to the County
based on the Joint Use Agreement. With the exception of the civilian aircraft Taxiways D-1 and
D-2 and the terminal apron, all airside facilities are maintained by the Air Force. Taxiways D-1
and D-2 are parallel taxiways providing access from the terminal aircraft parking apron to
Runway 12/30 and its northern parallel taxiway. Both taxiways are equipped with medium
intensity taxiway edge lighting. The dual taxiway system provides for the ability to operate
simultaneous arriving and departing operations without undue aircraft hindrance or delay.
Terminal Facilities
Following the completion of the Airport’s 1998 master plan and based on
recommendations therein, the County began the planning, design, and construction of a new
terminal facility. At that time, the age and condition of the Airport’s existing 38,000 square foot
terminal building, and the increasing passenger levels accommodate by the Airport, dictated the
need for a larger, more modern facility. The new two-story terminal facility, with an area of
approximately 110,000 square feet, opened in 2004. The new terminal includes three passenger
loading bridges on the upper-level east side of the concourse and three regional jet gate areas on
the lower west side. In addition to areas for airlines, the new terminal includes areas for five
rental car operators, limited space for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and the
Airport’s administration and maintenance departments.
Support Facilities
Rental Car Areas. There are currently five rental car companies operating on-site at the
Airport. Each company currently leases rental car counter and office space totaling
approximately 750 square feet in the passenger terminal to support their on-Airport operations.
The on-site manager and other staff generally share these offices.
The rental care companies share a consolidated service facility located west of the
passenger terminal building. The existing consolidated service facility consists of a paved area
covered by a metal roof structure that is portioned into six bays. Each bay consists of a fuel
pump, water hose connections, vacuums, and miscellaneous wash equipment. Vehicles are
fueled and then hand washed prior to being rented to a new customer. Current industry standard
is the use of automated car wash facilities which provide greater efficiency in the rental car
service process and reduce environmental impacts. The construction of new rental car service
facilities on an area located on the east side of the passenger terminal is a key component of the
2007 Project. Included in the 2007 Project are the construction of office/storage areas, vehicle
maintenance areas, a five-bay consolidated car wash building, a consolidated fueling facility, and
vehicle storage areas for each rental car operator.
33
The Airport's primary ready/return area is located on the west side of the terminal
building and is comprised of Ready Area A. Ready Area B and an overflow area providing
additional spaces is located on the east side of the terminal. Each of these are paved lots. Ready
Area A contains a total of 286 parking spaces and Ready Area B provides 164 spaces. The
overflow ready space area provides an additional 282 parking spaces. On an annual basis, rental
car operators are allocated ready/return spaces in these areas based on their market share at the
Airport. See "APPENDIX B -- Report of the Airport Consultant - Rental Car Market at the
Airport," for a discussion of the rental car market at the Airport.
Public/Employee Parking. Existing public and employee parking facilities at the Airport
comprise a total of approximately 1,910 vehicle parking spaces. Existing parking facilities and
their respective capacities are summarized as follows:
Long Term – 795 total spaces including 16 reserved for handicap use
Short Term – 207 total spaces including 6 reserved for handicap use
Employee Lot – 542 spaces including 12 reserved for handicap use
Reserved – 30 spaces including 2 reserved for handicap use
Overflow – 338 spaces including 8 reserved for handicap use
The reserved parking area will likely be converted to short-term paid parking under an
anticipated new parking management or operation contract. The overflow lot is used for public
parking during holiday peak seasons. During the remainder of the year, the majority of spaces in
the overflow lot are leased to the rental car companies and used for vehicle storage.
Fuel Facility. The Airport's fuel farm is currently located on the west side of the terminal
apron. Three above ground storage tanks, including two 20,000-gallon JetA fuel tanks and one
3,000-gallon tank used for unleaded automotive gasoline, are located within the facility. The
facility is covered with a metal roof, and has a concrete containment area to contain potential
fuel leaks. The tanks are connected via galvanized steel pipes to the delivery system. An
emergency shutoff switch is located on the northeast side of the fuel farm. The construction of a
relocated fuel farm is planned and the rental car component of that project is included in the
2007 Project. The relocation of aviation fueling facilities is not included in the 2007 Project nor
are the costs associated therewith. The cost of dismantling and removing the existing fuel
facility is included in the 2007 Project cost.
Support Facilities. The Baldwin Building, located east of the terminal building, houses
key components of the Airport's electrical and communications infrastructure. Additionally, it
provides limited storage capability. The Airport maintenance department, responsible for
maintaining County-owned buildings, grounds, and apron areas, currently utilizes multiple
locations for storage of supplies and equipment. The department lacks a dedicated shop area,
which could be used for vehicle maintenance, minor carpentry projects and miscellaneous
equipment repairs.
34
Other Airports
In addition to the Airport, the County also owns and operates two general aviation
facilities, Bob Sikes Airport and Destin/Ft. Walton Beach Airport.
Bob Sikes Airport. Bob Sikes Airport is located northeast of the City of Crestview and is
approximately 18 miles north of the Airport. It is a public-use airport accommodating general
aviation, air taxi and some military operations. Runway 17/35 at Bob Sikes Airport has a length
of 8,005 feet, width of 150 feet, and has precision instrument approach capabilities.
Approximately 50 aircraft are based at Bob Sikes Airport and a full service fixed base operator
(FBO), Sunshine Aero, supports local and transient operators.
Destin/Ft. Walton Beach Airport. Destin/Ft. Walton Beach Airport is located
approximately 6 miles southeast of the Airport. The public use general aviation airport has a
4,999-foot runway and is supported by non-precision instrument approaches. Approximately 75
aircraft are based at Destin/Ft. Walton Beach Airport, and the airport's FBO, Miracle Strip
Aviation, provides fueling and aircraft parking services to local and itinerant operators.
Facilities are currently under construction for a second FBO.
Airlines Serving the Airport
Since 1990, aviation activity at the Airport has produced stages of both strong growth and
declines in operations. In terms of passenger service, the Airport has a history of serving mainly as
a spoke airport or a destination point for a number of hub carriers. As of May 2007, the Airport
had scheduled daily non-stop passenger service provided by eight U.S. carriers: American Eagle,
Atlantic Southeast (d/b/a the Delta Connection), Chautauqua and ExpressJet (both d/b/a
Continental Express) and Delta, Freedom (d/b/a the Delta Connection), Gulfstream (d/b/a the
Continental Connection), and Northwest. AirTran Airways withdrew from the market in
November 2001, switching to the Pensacola Regional Airport, after aggressive marketing efforts
by that airport to increase air service from that city. U.S. Air Express withdrew in 2005.
Delta Air Lines has the largest market share and currently operates 8 daily departures
together with its affiliates. As a percent of total departures, Delta and its regional partners operate
over 50 percent of the Airport’s total departures.
Enplanements
Over the long term, total enplaned passengers at the Airport have increased. From 1999 to
2006, total enplanements grew at an annual compound growth rate of 1.37 percent, which is
comparable to the U.S. national rate of 1.43 percent for the same period. Total annual enplaned
passengers increased from 352,340 in 1999 to 370,558 in 2006. The 2002 figure decreased at a
rate slightly below 20 percent because of the events of September 11, 2001, the economic
slowdown and AirTran’s exit from the market. Enplanements rebounded between 2002 and 2005,
going from 329,481 to 407,053. The 2006 figure decreased at a rate of 9 percent due to Delta's
bankruptcy filing and subsequent cutback in service.

Top 10 Origin and Destination Markets
Atlanta Hartsfield has historically been the top O&D market for the Airport because of its
close proximity to the Airport, as well as its status as Delta Air Lines’ primary hub. However,
during Fiscal Year 2006, Dallas recorded just above 42,190 O&D passengers from the Airport,
giving it a 11.37 percent market share to Atlanta's 9.46%.

Aircraft Operations
Majors/Nationals – With AirTran discontinuing service at the Airport in early Fiscal Year
2002, major/national activity decreased 9.6 percent in Fiscal Year 2002 from Fiscal Year 2001
levels, from 5,266 operations to 4,758 operations during this period. This decrease was lessened
by Delta initiating mainline service at the Airport in the first month of Fiscal Year 2002. Delta
continued to steadily increase its mainline presence at the Airport, as major/national activity
increased to 5,538 operations by Fiscal Year 2005. At its peak in Fiscal Year 2005, Delta
provided five to six daily mainline flights to its Atlanta hub from the Airport. Delta’s decision to
cut back service systemwide as a strategy to emerge from Chapter 11 caused major/national
operations and scheduled seats to decrease 28.4 percent and 48.8 percent, respectively, in Fiscal
Year 2006 from Fiscal Year 2005 levels. Mainline activity by Northwest at the Airport was
relatively stable between Fiscal Year 2001 and Fiscal Year 2006, with approximately three to
four daily flights to its Memphis hub during this period.
Regionals/Commuters – Regional/commuter activity at the Airport decreased from
11,806 operations in Fiscal Year 2001 to 9,458 operations in Fiscal Year 2002, primarily due to
the shifting of certain Atlantic Southeast operations to Delta mainline service in Fiscal Year
38
2002. With the continued expansion of service by Delta carriers at the Airport, as well as the
initiation of service by ExpressJet at the Airport in mid-Fiscal Year 2004, regional/commuter
activity increased from 9,458 operations in Fiscal Year 2002 to 12,480 operations in Fiscal Year
2004. With the discontinuation of service by US Airways Express at the Airport in mid-Fiscal
Year 2005, regional/commuter activity decreased 21.5 percent in Fiscal Year 2005 from Fiscal
Year 2004 levels (from 12,580 operations in Fiscal Year 2004 to 9,806 operations in Fiscal Year
2005). The initiation of service by Gulfstream at the Airport in mid-Fiscal Year 2006 offset the
29.4 percent decrease in scheduled seats by Atlantic Southwest in Fiscal Year 2006, resulting in
activity by this major user group to increase from 9,806 operations in Fiscal Year 2005 to 10,726
in Fiscal Year 2006, an increase of 9.4 percent during this period.

Landed Weight
The table set forth below presents the historical share of landed weight by commercial
airlines at the Airport between Fiscal Year 2002 and Fiscal Year 2006. As shown, Delta carriers
and Northwest had a combined 85 to 90 percent share of Airport landed weight between Fiscal
Year 2002 and Fiscal Year 2005. Similar to enplanements, approximately 20 percent of the Delta
carriers’ share of Airport landed weight was redistributed to American Eagle and Continental
Express in Fiscal Year 2006 due to cutbacks in Delta service systemwide during this period. Delta
carriers, however, maintained the highest share of landed weight at the Airport with approximately
50 percent of the total in Fiscal Year 2006.

Passenger Facility Charges
Passenger Facility Charges ("PFCs") are collected by air carriers serving an airport and
are remitted to the airport less a small handling charge. PFCs are available to airports to finance
certain projects that (i) preserve or enhance capacity, safety or security of the national airport
transportation system, (ii) reduce noise resulting from an airport, or (iii) furnish opportunities for
enhanced competition among air carriers. PFC applications are approved by the Federal
Aviation Administration (the "FAA") for specific projects and for specific amounts for each
project. The airport may only impose the designated PFC until it collects the authorized total
amount of that application. Interest earnings on collections count against the application total.
Under certain circumstances, the FAA grants approval to commence collection of PFCs ("impose
only" approval) before approval to spend the PFCs on approved projects ("use" approval) is
granted. Approval to both collect and spend PFCs is referred to as an "impose and use"
approval. Collected PFCs may be spent on projects in approved applications, regardless of the
Charge Effective Date (i.e., the date on which the FAA expects the airport to begin collecting
PFCs) of the application.
The County is currently collecting PFCs at the rate of $4.50 per passenger for each
eligible flight segment flown (eligible flight segments are limited to the first two airports where
PFCs are imposed for one-way tickets and the first two enplaning airports (outbound) and least
two enplaning airports (inbound) on round-trip tickets) The County is currently authorized to
impose and use up to $37,292,945 in PFCs through the Estimated Expiration Date of December
1, 2019. (For purposes of the preceding sentence, "Estimated Expiration Date" means the date
on which the County is expected to have collected enough PFCs to pay for the projects for which
it has filed PFC applications.) As of March 31, 2007, the County had collected PFCs in the
amount of approximately $8,620,073. The County is now in the process of preparing a new PFC
amendment to be filed with the FAA. If this amendment is approved, the number of PFCeligible projects will be increased. The PFCs are pledged to secure the Series 2003 Bonds,
40
but are not pledged to secure the Series 2007 Bonds.

The PFC rate increased from $3.50 to $4.50 in 2002.
No assurance can be given that PFCs will actually be received in the amount or at the
time contemplated by the County. The amount of actual PFC Revenues collected, and the rate of
collection, will vary depending on the actual levels of qualified passenger enplanements at the
Airport. In addition, the FAA may terminate the County's ability to impose PFCs, subject to
informal or formal procedural safeguards, if (1) the County fails to use its PFC Revenues for
approved projects in accordance with the FAA's approval, the PFC Act or the PFC Regulations,
or (2) the County otherwise violates the PFC Act or the PFC Regulations. The County's ability
to impose a PFC may also be terminated if the Airport violates certain provisions of the Airport
Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 and its implementing regulations. Furthermore, no assurance
can be given that the County's power to impose a PFC will not be terminated by Congress or the
FAA, or that the PFC program may not be modified or restricted by Congress or the FAA so as
to reduce PFC Revenues available to the County.

Management Discussion of Financial Results
Okaloosa Regional Airport derives its revenues from landing fees and rentals charged to
the airlines servicing the Airport and from a variety of non-airline sources. In addition, a $4.50
passenger Facility Charge (PFC) is collected by Airlines on behalf of the Airport and remitted on a
monthly basis. PFCs are being used to fund the Airport's current debt service on its Series 2003
Bonds. The Airport also began to collect a $2.50 per car rental day CFC in December 2005 to
provide initial funding for the 2007 Project and debt service on the Series 2007 Bonds associated
therewith.
Airline Revenue: Landing fees, terminal space rental, security fees, baggage handling and
jet bridge fees charged to the Airlines comprised 30 percent of the Airport's operating revenues in
Fiscal Year 2006. Landing fees decreased by 30 percent due to Delta's strategy of reducing service
while in bankruptcy. Space rental fees increased 94 percent due to rate increases and additional
space rental. The overall result was a 52% increase in Airline revenue over Fiscal Year 2005.
Non-Airline Revenues: These revenues are derived primarily from commissions and space
rental from rental car companies and public parking. Historical non-airline revenue from Fiscal
Year 2002 to Fiscal Year 2006 increased as a compounded annual growth rate of 15.4 percent.
This annual increase can be attributed to growth in rental car revenues and parking revenues at the
Airport, strong growth in revenues at the County's two general aviation airports, and growth in
other revenue items. Non-airline revenues for Fiscal Year 2005 and Fiscal Year 2006 include the
proceeds of land sales at Bob Sikes Airport. Per the terms of the Indenture, land sale proceeds are
excluded from Revenues in the determination of Airline rates and charges.
Operating Expenses: Historical operation and maintenance expenses from Fiscal Year
2002 to Fiscal Year 2006 increased at a compounded annual growth rate of 18.2 percent, higher
than inflationary impacts. The County attributes the increases to increased personnel costs in its
administrative function and increased contracted services expenses, each related primarily to the
new terminal building. Insurance, utilities and cost of fuel were contributors to the increase in
expenses.
THE 2007 PROJECT
In continuation of the development and expansion of the Airport, the County desires to
implement the 2007 Project which includes, among other components, the relocation of all rental
car service functions on the Airport to a 22.6 acre site located east of the Terminal Building. The
site was recently added to the Airport leasehold following negotiations with the Air Force and
the County has received the necessary approvals from the Air Force to complete 2007 Project.
Key components of the 2007 Project include site development and access improvements, the
relocation of the Airport fuel farm, and the construction of relocated rental car service facilities.
Site development projects include clearing and grubbing, excavation, and drainage
improvements necessary to prepare the project site for development. Utilities, including an
electrical duct bank, will be extended to the site to accommodate the lighting and utility service
needs of the relocated fuel farm and relocated rental car service facilities. Access improvements
included in the 2007 Project will provide vehicular access to the site from State Road 85 to
43
accommodate deliveries as well as provide a connection from the site to the existing terminal
loop road for Ready/Return operations. The addition of turn lanes to State Road 85 is also
included in the 2007 Project.
The Airport’s existing fuel farm will be relocated as part of the 2007 Project. Upon its
completion, the new fuel farm facility will utilize a shared fuel tank configuration in a walled
containment area. The fuel facility will be operated by the Airport and will support the storage of
both aviation and automotive fuels. Above ground tanks will provide storage capacity totaling
80,000 gallons for aviation fuel and 50,000 gallons for automotive fuel. Aviation fuel will be
dispensed to trucks that will service aircraft on the apron that is remote from the farm.
Automotive fuel will be transported through pipelines from the fuel farm the rental car service
area.
On-grade rental car facilities to be constructed as part of the 2007 Project include
roadways, a consolidated rental car fueling facility, a five-bay consolidated wash building, and
five rental car service facility buildings and associated vehicle storage parking areas. Each rental
car service facility building will include office/storage areas, a breakroom, and a vehicle
maintenance area to facilitate light automotive maintenance.
The total estimated cost of the 2007 Project is approximately $13.2 million. The aviation
component of the fuel farm relocation is not included the cost of the 2007 Project. A portion of
project costs associated with access improvements and site development are anticipated to be
funded with federal and state grants. Remaining project costs are anticipated to be funded by
accumulated CFC collections and the proceeds of the Series 2007 Bonds.

REPORT OF THE AIRPORT CONSULTANT
In connection with the issuance of the Series 2007 Bonds, the County retained Ricondo &
Associates, Inc., Cincinnati, Ohio (the "Airport Consultant") to prepare the Report of the Airport
Consultant, attached hereto as Appendix B, which includes a description of the 2007 Project, the
economic basis for air traffic at the Airport, air traffic demand, the rental car industry and rental
car demand, existing airport facilities, other capital projects, and financial analysis related to the
overall feasibility of the 2007 Project. The Report of the Airport Consultant also presents airline
traffic and financial forecasts for Fiscal Years 2007 through 2016 and sets forth certain
assumptions upon which the forecasts are based. These assumptions were provided by, or
reviewed and adopted by the County at the time the Report was issued. The Report of the
Airport Consultant has been included in this Official Statement in reliance upon the reputation of
the Airport Consultant as an expert in preparing forecasts and projections with respect to
airports.
Based upon the assumptions and analysis described in the Report of the Airport
Consultant, the Airport Consultant is of the opinion that:
●
The economic base of the Air Trade Area is stable and diversified, and is capable
of supporting increased demand for air travel at the Airport during the projection period.
45
●
The 2007 Project is feasible in terms of providing facilities at the Airport at a cost
that will produce reasonable levels of rates and charges to the users of the Airport facilities.
●
Cost per enplanement for the passenger airlines that are signatory to the AirlineAirport Use and Lease Agreement (“Airline Agreement”) (“Signatory Airlines”) is estimated to
increase from approximately $5.56 budgeted in Fiscal Year 2007 to $7.33 in Fiscal Year 2016, a
compounded annual increase of 3.1%. The Signatory Airlines’ landing fee rate as adjusted is
projected to increase from approximately $1.07 per thousand pounds budgeted in Fiscal Year
2007, to $1.51 per thousand pounds in Fiscal Year 2016.
●
Projected airline rates and charges together with other Airport revenues are
sufficient to ensure that all Operation and Maintenance (O&M) expenses, debt service, and fund
deposit requirements can be generated through reasonable user fees. Debt service coverage is
projected to range from 2.53x to 3.71x, meeting the rate covenant requirement of the Indenture in
each year of the projection period.
The following table sets forth projected debt service coverage of the Series 2003 Bonds
and Series 2007 Bonds for the Fiscal Years ending September 30, 2007 through 2016.

INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
General
The following discussion describes certain risks affecting the payment of and security for
all Bonds outstanding under the Indenture, including the Series 2007 Bonds. The following
discussion is not meant to be an exhaustive list of the risks associated with the purchase of the
Series 2007 Bonds and does not necessarily reflect the relative importance of the various risks.
Potential investors are advised to consider the following along with all other information
described elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this Official Statement in evaluating their
purchase of the Series 2007 Bonds.
General Factors Affecting Airline Activity at the Airport
There are numerous factors which affect air traffic generally and air traffic at the Airport
specifically. Demand for air travel is influenced by factors such as population, levels of
disposable income, the nature, level and concentration of industrial and commercial activity in
the service area, and the price of air travel. The price of air travel is, in turn, affected by the
number of airlines serving a particular airport and a particular destination, the financial
condition, cost structure and hubbing strategies of the airlines serving an airport, the willingness
of competing airlines to enter into an airport market, the cost of operating at an airport, the price
of fuel, and any operating constraints (due to capacity, environmental concerns or other related
factors) limiting the frequency or timing of airport traffic within the national system or at a
particular airport. In addition, the global hostilities and the threat of renewed terrorist attacks
may dampen air traffic.
Airport Security. Concerns about the safety of airline travel and the effectiveness of
security precautions, particularly in the context of international hostilities and terrorist attacks,
influence passenger travel behavior and air travel demand. These concerns have intensified in
the aftermath of the September 11 events and more recent threatened activity with respect to
certain flights to the United States from the United Kingdom in August 2006. Travel behavior
may be affected by anxieties about the safety of flying and by the inconveniences and delays
associated with more stringent security screening procedures, both of which may give rise to the
avoidance of air travel generally and the switching from air to surface travel modes.
Historically, air travel demand has recovered after temporary declines stemming from
terrorist attacks, hijackings, aircraft crashes and international hostilities and, provided that the
intensified security precautions now being implemented in the United States and elsewhere are
48
effective in restoring confidence in the safety of commercial aviation while not imposing
unacceptable inconveniences for air travelers, of which there can be no assurance, it can be
expected that future demand for airline travel at the Airport will depend primarily on economic
rather than security factors.
The Aviation and Transportation Security Act (the “Aviation Security Act”) requires that
all United States airports use TSA-approved explosive detection systems (“EDS”) to screen all
checked baggage. EDS equipment purchased by the federal government has been installed at the
Airport. The Aviation Security Act also requires that eventually all passenger bags, mail and
cargo be screened to prevent the carriage of weapons (including chemical and biological
weapons), explosives or incendiary devices; however, as of the date hereof, no regulations
regarding these enhanced security measures have been proposed. The Airport continues to
follow and implement security initiatives based on the policy and guidelines established by the
TSA and is currently in compliance with all federally mandated security requirements.
However, TSA has broad discretion to modify security requirements from time to time.
The Airport’s operating costs increase when “Code Orange” (high) or “Code Red”
(severe) national threat levels are declared by the Department of Homeland Security and
heightened procedures are implemented consistent with those declarations. Since the institution
of the alert system, the national threat level has never been raised to Code Red, but it has been
raised to Code Orange a number of times. Historically, each time the Department of Homeland
Security raises the threat level to Code Orange, the Airport’s operating costs increased.
The Airport expects that, pursuant to federal regulations, airports in the United States will
be required to implement the Transportation Workers Identification Credential (“TWIC”)
program in the future. It is likely that the TSA will require airports to bear the cost of the daily
operation of the program, including the purchase, maintenance and operation of card readers and
ongoing verifications of credentials for airport workers. The TWIC program may impose
increased short and long term security costs for the Airport. In addition, the TSA announced on
May 17, 2006 new requirements designed to protect the more than 50,000 tons of cargo that is
transported aboard passenger and all-cargo aircraft each day. The security requirements mark
the first substantial changes to air cargo regulations since 1999, and represent a joint
government-industry vision of an enhanced security baseline. Compliance with the new security
measures could increase the Authority’s security costs.
To the extent that the Airport incurs substantial security costs in the future, such costs
could adversely affect the Airport’s financial condition. Although the Airport has received
various capital grants and reimbursements for a portion of security operating costs from the
federal government since 2002, there can be no assurance that the Airport will continue to
receive such federal assistance or that such assistance will be sufficient to mitigate the impact of
such costs. In addition, if the airlines are required to pay substantial security costs, it would
place an additional financial burden on many already financially troubled airlines which, in turn,
could have a negative impact on the operations of the Airport and the Airport’s revenues. The
Airport cannot predict the likelihood or impact of any future government-required security
measures.
49
The Homeland Security Act created the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) to
accomplish several primary goals, identified by the statute as: preventing terrorist attacks within
the United States; reducing the nation’s vulnerability to terrorism; minimizing the damage of,
and assisting in the recovery from, terrorist attacks that do occur; and monitoring connections
between illegal drug trafficking and terrorism and coordinating efforts to sever such connections.
The TSA is now a part of the DHS.
The Homeland Security Act extended the federal government’s guarantee of war-risk
insurance to airlines through August 31, 2007. According to the Air Transport Association,
efforts are underway to extend the guaranty beyond August 31, 2007. The Homeland Security
Act caps the total premium paid by any airline for war-risk insurance at no more than twice the
premium the airline was paying the U.S. Department of Transportation for its third-party policy
as of June 19, 2002. The Homeland Security Act also requires that carriers include methods of
self-defense within their security training programs for flight attendants. The Act also requires
DHS to establish a program for arming pilots, though participation in the program remains
voluntary.
Cost of Aviation Fuel. According to the Air Transport Association, fuel is the second
largest cost component of airline operations after labor and continues to be an important and
uncertain determinate of an air carrier’s operating economics. There has been no shortage of
aviation fuel since the “fuel crisis” of 1974, but any increase in fuel prices causes an increase in
airline operating costs. With higher crude prices driving up the cost of refined products, the
price paid by the U.S. airlines for jet fuel averaged $1.96 per gallon in 2006, an 18 percent
increase from the 2005 average price. At these levels, airlines are not able to fully realize the
expected financial boost from their aggressive conservation measures. According to the Air
Transport Association, a one-dollar increase in the price of oil per barrel equates to
approximately $425 million in annual additional expense for U.S. airlines.
Low-cost Carriers and Low-fare Divisions of Legacy Carriers. In recent years, low-cost
carriers have accounted for an increasing share of the domestic U.S. passenger market at the
expense of the legacy carriers. Nationally, low-cost carrier service accounted for approximately
10% of passenger traffic in the early 1990s and increased to approximately 25% by early 2004.
Increased competition from low-cost carriers has placed additional pressure on the legacy carrier
to institute further cost-cutting measures, reduce their fares to remain competitive and introduce
their own low-fare divisions.
Travel Substitutes. Teleconference, video-conference and web-based meetings have
improved in quality and price and are often considered satisfactory alternatives to face-to-face
business meetings. In addition, leisure and business travelers may choose alternative modes of
transportation, such as cars. The September 11 events have accelerated this trend. Although the
impact cannot be accurately quantified, it is possible that business travel to and from Okaloosa
County may be negatively affected by this trend.
Structural Changes in the Travel Market. Many factors have combined to alter
consumer travel patterns. The threat of terrorism against the United States remains high. As a
result, the federal government has mandated various security measures that have resulted in new
50
security taxes and fees and longer passenger processing and wait times at airports. Both add to
the costs of air travel and make air travel less attractive to consumers relative to ground
transportation, especially to short-haul destinations. The Air Transport Association observes a
disproportionate decline in short-haul air travel and a consistent rise in automobile travel. More
people are choosing to drive where in the past they would have flown. In addition, consumers
have become more price-sensitive. Efforts of airlines to stimulate traffic by discounting fares
heavily have changed consumer expectations regarding airfares. Consumers have now come to
expect low fares. In addition, the availability of fully transparent price information on the
Internet now allows quick and easy comparison shopping, and this has changed consumer
purchasing habits. Consumers have shifted from purchasing paper tickets from travel agencies
or airline ticketing offices to purchasing electronic tickets over the Internet. This has made
pricing and marketing even more competitive in the U.S. airline industry. Finally, smaller
corporate travel budgets, combined with the higher time costs of travel, have made business
customers more amenable to communications substitutes such as tele- and video-conferencing.
Capacity of National Air Traffic Control and Airport Systems. Demands on the national
air traffic control system continue to cause aircraft delays and restrictions, both on the number of
aircraft movements in certain air traffic routes and on the number of landings and takeoffs at
certain airports. These restrictions affect airline schedules and passenger traffic nationwide. The
FAA is gradually automating and enhancing the computer, radar, and communications
equipment of the air traffic control system and assisting in the development of additional airfield
capacity through the construction of new runways and the more effective use of existing
runways. However, increasing demands on the national air traffic control and airport systems
could cause increased delays and restrictions in the future.
General Factors Affecting Airport and Airline Revenues
The revenues of both the Airport and the airlines may be materially affected by many
factors including, without limitation: declining demand, service and cost competition, airline
mergers, the availability and cost of fuel and other necessary supplies, high fixed costs, high
capital requirements, the cost and availability of financing, technological changes, national and
international disasters and hostilities, the cost and availability of employees, strikes and other
employee disruptions, the maintenance and replacement requirements of aircraft, the availability
of routes and slots at various airports, litigation liability, regulation by the federal government,
environmental risks and regulations, noise abatement concerns and regulation, deregulation,
federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws and other risks. Many airlines, as a result of
these and other factors, have operated at a loss in the past and several have filed for bankruptcy,
ceased operations and/or have merged with other airlines.
Operating Results and Financial Condition of Airlines
While the Airport generates revenues from multiple sources, it derives a substantial
portion of its operating revenues from landing and facility rental fees paid by the airlines.
Revenues from landing and facility rental fees paid by airlines constitute 30% of the Airport’s
revenues in 2006. The financial strength and stability of the airlines using the Airport, together
with numerous other factors, influence the level of aviation activity at the Airport.
51
Since 2001, the global airline industry has undergone substantial structural changes and
sustained significant financial losses. Due to the discretionary nature of business and personal
travel spending, airline passenger traffic and revenues are heavily influenced by the strength of
the U.S. economy, other regional economies, security concerns and other factors. Permanent
structural changes to the airline industry are the result of a number of factors including the
impact of low cost carriers, internet travel websites and carriers reorganizing under the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code. Since 2001, numerous U.S. air carriers have sought to reorganize under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 11”), including United, Delta, Northwest, and US
Airways (which has sought reorganization twice). It is possible that other airlines may seek to
reorganize in or out of Chapter 11. See Effect of Airline Bankruptcy, below.
Prior to the events of September 11, 2001, the domestic airline industry was predicting
total losses of approximately $2.5 billion in 2001. As a result of the events of September 11,
2001, and the weakening economy, U.S. airlines, as represented by the Air Transport Association
(“ATA”) members, lost $8.3 billion in 2001, $11.3 billion in 2002, $3.6 billion in 2003, $9
billion in 2004 and $5.6 billion in 2005, with an estimated $2 billion loss for 2006. The longterm credit ratings of many domestic airlines were downgraded, and all domestic airlines were
placed on credit review lists maintained by national credit rating agencies.
According to the ATA, the initial industry economic outlook for 2007 is the most
promising in several years. However airline debt levels remain high, leaving airlines vulnerable
to fuel price spikes, recession or other exogenous events (e.g., terrorism, natural disasters, and
pandemics). It is uncertain whether the industry will sustain such a financial outlook over the
long-term given the risk factors outlined above and high fuel prices.
Airlines have accelerated the structural changes that had been underway prior to
September 11 events. Growing competition from low-cost, low-fare carriers forced network
carriers to implement route rationalization including route transfers to regional partners and the
reduction, or elimination, of service to unprofitable markets. Airlines reduced schedules,
simplified fleets, deferred new aircraft delivery, implemented pay cuts and reduced workforces.
In addition, many legacy airlines have shown increasing flexibility in adjusting fares to match
discount fares offered by low-cost carriers. Airlines have also introduced innovations in
passenger service and convenience – notably the expanded use of the Internet and self-service
kiosks, which have greatly reduced waiting lines for boarding passes.
The County cannot predict the likelihood of future air transportation disruptions or the
impact of these events on any of the airlines using the Airport. For further information regarding
the financial condition and effect on operations of the airlines, including further information
regarding the airlines’ reported load and capacity factors since September 11, 2001, reference is
made to the statements and reports filed periodically by the airlines with the SEC. See Airlines
Subject to Airline Lease Agreement, below.
52
Effect of Airline Bankruptcy
In the event of bankruptcy proceedings involving one or more of the airlines operating at
the Airport, the debtor or its bankruptcy trustee must determine within a time period determined
by the court whether to assume or reject the applicable Airline Lease Agreement or other lease
agreements or operating agreements. In the event of assumption, the debtor would be required to
cure any prior defaults and to provide adequate assurance of future performances under the
relevant agreements. Rejection of a lease or an executory contract by any of such airlines would
give rise to an unsecured claim of the County for damages, the amount of which in the case of a
lease is limited by the Bankruptcy Code.
See below for further detail about Delta Airlines and Northwest Airlines and their
commuter affiliates.
General Financial Condition of Certain Airlines Serving the Airport
Since September 11, 2001, substantially all airlines have been downgraded by the rating
agencies, several have declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy, including Delta Airlines, Northwest
Airlines, US Airways and United, and many airlines have implemented service reductions and
employee layoffs in response to a reduction in passenger demand.
Delta. For the Fiscal Year ended September 30, 2006, Delta and its commuter affiliates
represented approximately 50.0% of the market share of enplaned passengers at the Airport. On
September 14, 2005, Delta and its subsidiaries filed petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code. Atlanta Southeast, Delta's affiliate, paid the $120,000 owing the
Airport at the time of the bankruptcy filing. Delta emerged from Chapter 11 on April 30, 2007.
During its bankruptcy, Delta continued paying amounts owed as an affiliate under the County's
Airline Agreement with Atlantic Southeast.
Northwest. For the Fiscal Year ended September 30, 2006, Northwest and its commuter
affiliates represented approximately 21.3% of the market share of enplaned passengers at the
Airport. On September 14, 2005, Northwest and its subsidiaries filed petitions for relief under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. At the time of the filing of the Northwest
bankruptcy petitions, Northwest officials stated that the airline expected to continue normal
business operations. Northwest has no plans to reject its Airline Agreement with the County and
has continued paying its obligations thereunder. The County has pending prepetition claims in
the amount of $76,855 in connection with the Northwest bankruptcy. There is no payment plan
established at this time. Northwest emerged from Chapter 11 on May 31, 2007.
Because of the constant flow of financial information regarding domestic airlines,
potential investors are urged to review the financial information filed by all airlines serving the
Airport. See Airlines Subject to Airline Lease Agreement below. Information herein under
General Financial Conditions of Certain Airlines Serving the Airport has been included
based upon publicly available information. Neither the Underwriters nor the County make any
representation as to the current accuracy or completeness of such information.
53
Each of the Airlines subject to the Airline Agreement (or their respective parent
corporations) is subject to the information reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, and in accordance therewith files reports and other information with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Certain other airlines are subject to
the information reporting requirements of the Commission. Certain information, including
financial information, as of particular dates concerning each of these reporting airlines (or their
respective parent corporations) is disclosed in reports and statements filed with the Commission.
Such reports and statements can be inspected and copied at the public reference facilities
maintained by the Commission at Room 1024, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549
and the Commission’s regional offices at 500 West Madison Street, Suite 1400, Chicago, Illinois
60661-2511 and 233 Broadway, New York, New York 10279. Copies of such material can be
obtained from the Public Reference Section of the Commission at 450 Fifth Street, N.W.,
Washington, D.C. 20549 (at the above address at the prescribed rates). The Commission also
maintains a website that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other written
information regarding companies that file electronically with the Commission. The address of
the website is http://www.sec.gov. In addition, each of the Airlines subject to the Airline Lease
Agreement is required to file periodic reports of financial and operating statistics with the United
States Department of Transportation (the “DOT”). Such reports can be inspected at the
following location: Office of Aviation Information Management, Data Requirements and Public
Reports Division, Research and Special Programs Administration, Department of Transportation,
400 Seventh Street, S. W. Washington, D.C. 20590, and copies of such reports can be obtained
from the DOT at prescribed rates.
Federal Regulation Regarding Rates and Charges Disputes
In August 1994, the President of the United States signed into law the FAA Authorization
Act of 1994 (the “1994 Act”), which continues the pre-existing federal requirement that airline
rates and charges set by airports be “reasonable” and mandates an expedited administrative
process by which the Secretary of Transportation (the “Secretary”) shall review rates and charges
complaints, 49 U.S.C. § 47129. Under 49 U.S.C. § 47129 an affected air carrier may file a
written complaint requesting a determination of the Secretary as to reasonableness within 60
days after such carrier receives written notice of the establishment or increase of such fee.
During the pendency of the review, the airlines must pay the disputed portion of the fee to the
airport under protest, subject to refund to the extent such fees are found to be unreasonable by
the Secretary. The airport must obtain a letter of credit, surety bond or other suitable credit
facility equal to the amount in dispute unless the airport and the complaining carriers agree
otherwise. In January 1995, pursuant to the 1994 Act, the DOT issued a rule which was
amended effective December 16, 1996 (the “Final Rule”) outlining the rules of practice for filing
complaints and adjudicating complaint matters involving federally assisted airports. This Final
Rule is broader in application and covers matters other than just rates and charges complaints.
The initial rule was accompanied by a policy statement setting forth the standards DOT would
apply to resolving airport fee disputes under 49 U.S.C. § 47129. The initial policy statement was
supplemented in September of 1995 and replaced on June 14, 1996 by the “Policy Regarding
Airport Rates and Charges.” In an August 1, 1997 decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the proposed policy regarding determining the
“reasonableness” of fees was “arbitrary and capricious” Until DOT promulgates a new policy
54
regarding rates and charges, the guiding principle for determining whether rates and charges
established for use of airport assets is the requirement of federal law that such charges be
“reasonable”.
Capacity of National Air Traffic Control and Airport Systems
Demands on the national air traffic control system continue to cause aircraft delays and
restrictions, both on the number of aircraft movements in certain air traffic routes and on the
number of landings and takeoffs at certain airports. These restrictions affect airline schedules
and passenger traffic nationwide. The FAA is gradually automating and enhancing the
computer, radar, and communications equipment of the air traffic control system and assisting in
the development of additional airfield capacity through the construction of new runways and the
more effective use of existing runways. However, increasing demands on the national air traffic
control and airport systems could cause increased delays and restrictions in the future.
Uncertainties of Projections and Assumptions
The Report of the Airport Consultant included as Appendix B to this Official Statement
contains certain assumptions and projections. Demonstration of projected compliance with
certain of the covenants contained in the Indenture is based upon assumptions and projections
which are inherently subject to significant uncertainties. Actual results are likely to differ,
perhaps materially, from those projected. Accordingly, the projections contained in the Report
or that may be contained in any future certificate of the County or a consultant are not
necessarily indicative of future performance, and neither the Airport Consultant nor the County
assumes any responsibility for the failure to meet such projections. In addition, certain
assumptions with respect to future business and financing decisions of the County are subject to
change. No representation is made or intended, nor should any representation be inferred, with
respect to the likely existence of any particular future set of facts or circumstances, and
prospective purchasers of the Series 2007 Bonds are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon
the Report or upon any projections or requirements for projections. If actual results are less
favorable than the results projected or if the assumptions used in preparing such projections
prove to be incorrect, the amount of Net Revenues or Pledged CFC Revenues may be materially
less than expected and consequently, the ability of the County to make timely payments of the
principal of and interest on the Series 2007 Bonds may be materially adversely affected.
Availability of CFCs
The plan of finance for the 2007 Project as described in the Report assumes certain
amounts of CFCs will be available to pay a portion of the costs of the 2007 Project and debt
service on the Series 2007 Bonds. No assurance can be given that these sources of funding will
actually be available in the amounts or on the schedule assumed.
Construction of New Panama City Airport
As described herein, the Panama City-Bay County Airport and Industrial District is
constructing a new Panama City-Bay County Airport on the northwestern side of Panama City,
55
closer to Okaloosa County than the existing airport. Although the Panama City Airport is
smaller than the Airport and serves a more tourism-related market, such that the County does not
foresee substantial impact on operations at the Airport, no assurance can be given that the
opening of such new airport will have no adverse impact upon the operations of the Airport.
LITIGATION
General. The Board of County Commissioners, the Clerk, the Sheriff, the County Property
Appraiser and the County Tax Collector are defendants from time to time in various lawsuits. The
County Attorney represents the Board. The County Property Appraiser, the Clerk, the Sheriff, and
the County Tax Collector each have separate counsel. It is the opinion of the County Attorney with
respect to litigation pending against the Board that the Board either (1) has meritorious defenses
against claims asserted in such litigation, (2) is immune from liability under principles of sovereign
immunity, or (3) has adequate insurance coverage or reserves against liability with respect to such
claims. There can be no assurance, however, that the Clerk and the Board will not incur liability for
which adequate reserves do not exist, as a result of such litigation. In the event of such liability,
the Board could be required, among other responses, to expend reserves, reduce the level of
services, or borrow money in order to satisfy such liability. It is not expected that any such
liability would affect the obligation of the Board to apply the Trust Estate in accordance with the
provisions of the Indenture.
The Series 2007 Bonds. There is no pending or, to the knowledge of the County,
threatened litigation against the County which in any way questions or affects (1) the 2007 Project,
(2) the validity of the Series 2007 Bonds, or any proceedings or transactions relating to their sale,
issuance or delivery, (3) the pledge of the Trust Estate to secure payment of the Series 2007 Bonds,
or (4) the operation of the Airports or the provisions for collection and application of the Net
Revenues and Pledged CFC Revenues in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.
APPROVAL OF LEGALITY
Certain legal matters incident to the issuance of the Series 2007 Bonds and with regard to
the treatment of the interest on the Series 2007 Bonds for Florida and federal tax purposes (see
“TAX MATTERS”) are subject to the legal opinion of Livermore, Freeman & McWilliams, P.A.,
Bond Counsel. Bond Counsel's legal opinion, dated and premised on law in effect as of the date of
original delivery of the Bonds, will be delivered to the Underwriters at the time of original delivery
of the Bonds.
The proposed text of the legal opinion is set forth as Appendix D hereto. The actual legal
opinion to be delivered may vary from that text if necessary to reflect facts and law on the date of
delivery. The opinion will speak only as of its date and subsequent distribution of such legal
opinion by recirculation of the Official Statement or otherwise shall create no implication that
Bond Counsel has reviewed or expresses any opinion concerning any of the matters referenced in
the opinion subsequent to its date.
56
Certain legal matters incident to the issuance of the Series 2007 Bonds will be passed upon
for the County by John R. Dowd, County Attorney, and Nabors, Giblin & Nickerson, P.A., Tampa,
Florida, Disclosure Counsel.
TAX MATTERS
General
In the opinion of Livermore, Freeman & McWilliams, P.A., Bond Counsel, interest on
the Series 2007 Bonds is not excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under
Section 103(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Bond Counsel has expressed
no opinion regarding other federal tax consequences arising with respect to the Series 2007
Bonds.
The following is a summary of certain anticipated federal income tax consequences of the
purchase, ownership and disposition of the Series 2007 Bonds under the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the regulations promulgated thereunder (final and proposed)
(the "Regulations"), and the judicial and administrative rulings and court decisions now in effect,
all of which are subject to change or possible differing interpretations. The summary does not
purport to address all aspects of federal income taxation that may affect particular investors in
light of their individual circumstances, nor certain types of investors subject to special treatment
under the federal income tax laws. Potential purchasers of the Series 2007 Bonds should consult
their own tax advisors in determining the federal, state or local tax consequences to them of the
purchase, holding and disposition of the Series 2007 Bonds.
In general, interest paid on the Series 2007 Bonds, original issue discount, if any, and
market discount, if any, will be treated as ordinary income to the owners of the Series 2007
Bonds, and principal payments (excluding the portion of such payments, if any, characterized as
original issue discount or accrued market discount) will be treated as a return of capital.
Discount Bonds
The Series 2007 Bonds are offered at an original issue discount (“OID”) in the amount of
the excess of the stated redemption price at maturity (as shown on the cover page of this Official
Statement) over the issue price. The issue price is the initial offering price to the public
(excluding bond houses and brokers and others acting as an underwriter) at which a substantial
amount of the OID Bonds were sold.
If the OID is less than 0.25% of the stated redemption price at maturity, multiplied by the
number of complete years to maturity (“de minimus OID”), the amount of de minimus OID is
included in income as stated principal payments are made, pro rata, and is generally treated as
gain recognized on retirement of the OID Bonds.
If the OID is greater than the de minimus OID amount, the OID is generally included in
the gross income of the holder of the OID Bonds in an amount accrued on a daily basis using the
constant yield to maturity method (unless the holder elects to treat all interest as OID). OID
accruing in an accrual period is generally calculated as the product of the Bond’s yield to
57
maturity (i.e., the discount rate that, when used to compute the present value of all principal and
interest payments to be made on the Bond, produces and amount equal to the issue price) times
the adjusted issue price at the beginning of the accrual period less the amount of qualified stated
interest allocable to the accrual period, and allocated ratably to each day in the accrual period.
An accrual period cannot be longer than one (1) year, and a scheduled payment of either
principal or interest must occur on the first or final day of an accrual period. The adjusted issue
price is the issue price increased by the amount of OID previously includable in gross income.
Generally, the adjusted issue price is also the holder’s basis for determining gain or loss on sale
of the OID Bond.
Exceptions and Qualifications
The federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and redemption, sale or
payment at maturity of OID Bonds may be determined according to rules which differ from
those described above. Holders of OID Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect
to the consequences of owning OID Bonds, including the effect of such ownership under
applicable state and local laws.
The foregoing general discussion of certain federal income tax treatment of original issue
discount and original issue premium is subject to numerous exceptions and does not consider the
effect of any holder’s individual circumstances. Holders of the Series 2007 Bonds at original
issue and upon subsequent purchase or other acquisition and upon sale or other disposition of
such Series 2007 Bonds are advised to consult their personal tax advisors for specific treatment
of discount and premium applicable to them
RATINGS
Radian Asset Assurance Inc. ("Radian") has issued a commitment for the delivery of its
Financial Guaranty Insurance policy with respect to the Series 2007 Bonds on the date of
issuance and delivery thereof. The Series 2007 Bonds are expected to be rated at the time of
delivery thereof based upon the issuance of the Radian Financial Guaranty Insurance policy.
Financial Guaranty Insurance issued by Radian currently results in bond issues being rated "AA"
by Standard & Poor's Ratings Service. No assurance can be given that the rating assigned to the
Series 2007 Bonds will not be different from those currently assigned to bond issues insured by
Radian.
Each such rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. No application
has been made to any other rating agency in order to obtain additional ratings on the Series 2007
Bonds.
The ratings reflect the respective rating agency's current assessment of the
creditworthiness of Radian and its ability to pay claims on its policies of insurance. Any further
explanation as to the significance of the above ratings may be obtained only from the applicable
rating agency.
The above described ratings of Radian-insured issues are not recommendations to buy,
sell or hold the Series 2007 Bonds, and such ratings may be subject to revision or withdrawals at
58
any time by the rating agencies. Any downward revision or withdrawals of any of the ratings
may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Series 2007 Bonds.
FINANCIAL ADVISOR
The County has retained Fullerton & Friar, Inc., Largo, Florida, as financial advisor to the
County and, in that capacity, has provided advice in connection with the planning, structuring and
issuance of the Series 2007 Bonds. The financial advisor will not engage in any underwriting
activities with regard to the issuance and sale of the Series 2007 Bonds. The financial advisor is
not obligated to undertake and has not undertaken to make an independent verification or to
assume responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the information contained in
this Official Statement. A portion of the financial advisor’s fee is contingent upon the issuance of
the Series 2007 Bonds and is expected to be paid from the proceeds of the Series 2007 Bonds.
UNDERWRITING
The senior managing underwriter for the Series 2007 Bonds is RBC Dain Rauscher Inc.,
doing business under the name RBC Capital Markets. The Underwriters shown on the cover
page hereof have agreed, subject to the proceedings authorizing the sale of the Series 2007
Bonds, to purchase the Series 2007 Bonds from the County, at a price of $9,431,031.35
($9,980,000 par amount, less Underwriters’ discount of $65,728.75 and less original issue
discount of $483,239.90), for the purpose of resale. The Underwriters have furnished the
information on the cover page of this Official Statement pertaining to the public offering price of
the Series 2007 Bonds. The public offering price of the Series 2007 Bonds may be changed from
time to time by the Underwriters, and the Underwriters may allow a concession from the public
offering price to certain dealers. None of the Series 2007 Bonds will be delivered by the County
to the Underwriters unless all of the Series 2007 Bonds are so delivered.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Excerpts from the audited financial statements of the County relating to the Airports
System Enterprise Fund for the Fiscal Year ended September 30, 2006 have been included as
Appendix A to this Official Statement as a public document. The auditor has not been requested
to perform, and has not performed, any service in connection with, and is therefore not
associated with, the offering of the Series 2007 Bonds.
DISCLOSURE MATTERS
Certificate as to Official Statement
The County has duly authorized, executed and delivered this Official Statement. At the
time of delivery of the Series 2007 Bonds to the Underwriters, the County will provide to the
Underwriters a certificate (which may be included in a consolidated closing certificate of the
County), signed by those County officials who signed this Official Statement, relating to the
accuracy and completeness of this Official Statement and to its being deemed a “final official
statement” in the judgment of the County for the purposes of SEC Rule 15c2-12(b)(3).
59
Continuing Disclosure
The County has covenanted for the benefit of Bondholders to provide certain financial
information and operating data relating to the Airports and the Series 2007 Bonds in each year, and
to provide notices of the occurrence of certain enumerated material events. Annual financial
information and operating data and the audited financial statements will be filed by the County
with each Nationally Recognized Municipal Securities Information Repository (the “NRMSIRs”),
as well as any state information depository that is subsequently established in the State of Florida
(the “SID”). The notices of material events, when and if they occur, shall be timely filed by the
County with the NRMSIRs or the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, and with the SID. The
specific nature of the financial information, operating data, and of the type of events which trigger
a disclosure obligation, and other details of the undertaking are described in “APPENDIX E –
Form of Continuing Disclosure Certificate” attached hereto. The Continuing Disclosure
Certificate will be executed by the County prior to the issuance of the Series 2007 Bonds. These
covenants have been made in order to assist the underwriters in complying with the continuing
disclosure requirements of Rule 15c2-12 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
60
The County has previously entered into a continuing disclosure undertaking with respect to
its outstanding Fourth Cent Tourist Development Tax Revenue Bonds, Series 2000, issued on
March 9, 2000. The annual financial information and data, including the annual financial
statements, for the years 2001 and 2002, required to be filed by April 30 in each of the years, were
not timely filed. In May, 2003, the County filed a Notice of Failure to File and also filed all of the
required information, data and the annual financial statements as of that date. The County has
undertaken measures to ensure future timely compliance with its undertakings, and has timely filed
all the required information annually since 2003.

To the Honorable Chairman and Members of the
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of Okaloosa County, Florida, as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, which
collectively comprise the County’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These
financial statements are the responsibility of Okaloosa County, Florida’s management. Our responsibility is
to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued
by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective
financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely
presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of Okaloosa
County, Florida, as of September 30, 2006, and the respective changes in financial position and where
applicable, cash flows, and the respective budgetary comparison for the General Fund, the Fine and
Forfeiture Fund and the Natural Disasters Fund thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting
principals generally accepted in the United States of America.
Independent Auditors’ Report

Page Two
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 20, 2007, on
our consideration of Okaloosa County, Florida’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of
its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters.
The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting
and compliance and the results of that testing and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over
financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance
with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in Assessing the results of our audit..
The management’s discussion and analysis on pages 3 through 15 is not a required part of the basic financial
statements but is supplementary information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of
inquires of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required
supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise Okaloosa County, Florida’s basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and
individual nonmajor fund financial statements, and statistical section are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The accompanying schedule of
expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance is presented for purposes of additional analysis
as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments,
and Non-Profit Organizations, and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General, Local Governmental Entity
Audits, and is also not a required part of the basic financial statements of Okaloosa County, Florida. The
accompanying schedule of passenger facility charges is presented for purposes of additional analysis as
specified in the Passenger Facility Charge Audit Guide for Public Agencies, issued by the Federal Aviation
Administration, and is not a required part of the basic financial statements of Okaloosa County, Florida. The
combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards
and state financial assistance and the schedule of expenditures of passenger facility charges have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion,
are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The
introductory section and statistical section have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2006
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements of Okaloosa County, Florida (hereinafter referred to as County) have been
prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) as
applied to governments. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted
standard-setting body for governmental accounting and financial reporting. The County uses the Uniform
Accounting System mandated by Chapter 218.33, Florida Statutes.
The County also applies those Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) statements and
interpretations issued on or before November 30, 1989 to its governmental and business-type activities at
the government-wide financial reporting level and to its proprietary funds at the fund reporting level,
provided they do not conflict or contradict GASB pronouncements.
The following is a summary of the more significant accounting policies of the County.
A.
The Reporting Entity
Okaloosa County is a political subdivision of the State of Florida, governed by a five member Board
of County Commissioners, each elected by the citizenry at large for four-year terms. The Board has
no powers other than those expressly vested in it by State Statute and their governmental powers
cannot be delegated. In addition, the Clerk of the Circuit Court, Sheriff, Tax Collector, Property
Appraiser and Supervisor of Elections are elected by the citizenry at-large and function
independently of the Board.
As required by generally accepted accounting principles, these financial statements present
Okaloosa County (the primary government) and its component units. As of September 30, 2006, the
County had one component unit as defined by GASB 14, the Emerald Coast Bridge Authority
(Authority). It is included in the County s reporting entity as a result of fiscal dependency upon the
County and is presented as a governmental fund type. The Authority is discretely presented in a
separate column in the combined financial statements to emphasize it is legally separate from the
primary government. The Authority has a September 30 year-end. The Authority does not issue
separate financial statements. Following is a description.
Emerald Coast Bridge Authority
The Emerald Coast Bridge Authority was established in May 2001 by legislative action amending
Chapter 90-412, Laws of Florida. The legislative action changed the name of the Fort Walton
Bridge Authority to the Emerald Coast Bridge Authority (hereinafter referred to as the Authority).
The Authority consists of five members all appointed by the Governor of Florida. The purpose of
the Authority is the planning, constructing, operating, and maintaining of a bridge or bridges
transversing Choctawhatchee Bay or Santa Rosa Sound, or both, and access roads to the bridge or
bridges. The Board of County Commissioners has the responsibility to review and change the
Authority s budget. The Authority has been in the planning state of its mission statement and has
conducted feasibility studies to determine the best location for a bridge. During fiscal year 2006,
public meetings were held to discuss the bridge corridor options recommended by the studies. It
was determined that none of the options were acceptable to the local public. In May of 2006, the
Authority requested that the Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners forward a letter to
the Florida Legislature asking that they, 1) dissolve the Authority, 2) forgive the debt owed and 3)
state that the bridge corridor options have no public support. No action has been taken by the
Florida Legislature. The Authority is now dormant. Following are their last available fund
statements as of September 30, 2006.

B.
Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
1. Government-Wide Statements
The government-wide financial statements include the statement of net assets and the statement of
activities. These statements display information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the primary
government and its component unit. The primary government and the component unit are reported
separately with the focus of the statements being the primary government. Individual funds are not
displayed. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes, intergovernmental
revenues, and other non-exchange transactions, are reported separately from business-type activities,
which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for
each function of the County s governmental activities and for the different business-type activities
of the County. A function is an assembly of similar activities and may include portions of a fund or
summarize more than one fund to report the expenses and program revenues associated with a
distinct functional activity. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific
function or segment. The County does not allocate indirect expenses to functions in the statement of
activities.
Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly
benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by the programs of the County and 2) grants and
contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational activities or the construction, acquisition,
or rehabilitation of capital assets required by a particular program. These revenues are sub ect to
externally imposed restrictions to these program uses. The determining factor for identifying to
which function program revenue pertains is which function generated the revenue in the case of
charges for service. For grants and contributions, the determining factor is to which function the
revenues are restricted.
Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as
general revenues of the County. The comparison of direct expense with program revenues in the
statement of activities identifies the extent to which each governmental function and each business
activity is self-financing and how much they draw from the general revenues of the County.
2. Fund Financial Statements
During the year, transactions related to certain functions or activities are segregated into separate
funds in order to aid financial management and to demonstrate legal compliance. A fund is a fiscal
and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. The fund financial statements are
designed to present detail information about the County s financial activities. Separate financial
statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds, even though
the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. The emphasis of fund
financial statements is on ma or governmental and enterprise funds, each displayed in a separate
column. All remaining governmental and enterprise funds are aggregated and reported as nonma or
funds.
37
C.
Measurement Focus, Basis o Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
1.
Exchange and Non-exchange Transactions
Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values.
An example of an exchange transaction is a charge for service, rent, in exchange for a specific
service, use of a County building. Non-exchange transactions are those in which the County gives
(or receives) value without directly receiving (or giving) equal value in exchange. An example of a
non-exchange transaction is property tax revenue received by the County which is used to fund
various general governmental services. The revenue from these exchange and non-exchange
transactions is recognized in the financial statements in varying ways depending on the basis of
accounting used.
2. Government-Wide and Fiduciary Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement
focus. All assets and all liabilities associated with the operation of the County are included on the
statement of net assets. The statement of activities reports all revenues and expenses. Fiduciary
funds are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. The statement of fiduciary assets
and liabilities reports all assets and liabilities associated with the agency funds of the County.
Agency funds are the only type of fiduciary fund used by the County.
Government-wide financial statements are reported using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues
are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of
when the related cash flows take place. Nonexchange transactions include property taxes, grants,
entitlements, and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the
fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenue from grants, entitlements, and donations is
recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. The agency
funds of the County use the accrual basis of accounting to recognize the receivables and payables
recorded in those funds.
The effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements
except for interfund services provided and used. Elimination of those charges would distort the
direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned on the statement of
activities.
3. Governmental Fund Financial Statements
All governmental funds are accounted for using a flow of current financial resources measurement
focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities generally are included
on the balance sheet. The statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances reports
the sources (i.e., revenues and other financing sources) and uses (i.e., expenditures and other
financing uses) of current financial resources. This approach differs from the manner in which the
governmental activities of the government-wide financial statements are prepared. Governmental
fund financial statements therefore include reconciliations with brief explanations to better identify
the relationship between the government-wide statements and the governmental fund statements.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the modified accrual basis of accounting.
Under this method, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they become
both measurable and available). “Measurable” means the amount of the transaction can be
determined and “available” means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to
be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The County considers all revenues reported in the
38
C. Measurement Focus, Basis o Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation –Continued
3. Governmental Fund Financial Statements - Continued
governmental funds to be available if the revenues are collected within sixty days after year-end.
Those revenues susceptible to accrual are sales tax, gasoline taxes and other intergovernmental
revenues collected and held by the state at year end on behalf of the County, special assessments,
licenses, interest revenue and charges for service. Current year property taxes uncollected at the end
of the fiscal year are generally immaterial in amount and highly susceptible to uncollectibility and
are not recorded as a receivable on the balance sheet. All other revenue items are considered to be
measurable and available only when the government receives cash.
Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred. Principal and interest on
general long-term debt are recorded as fund liabilities when due or when amounts have been
accumulated in the debt service fund for payments to be made in the following year. General capital
asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of general longterm debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing sources.
4. Proprietary Fund Financial Statements
The proprietary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement
focus. Under this measurement focus, all assets and all liabilities associated with the operation of
the fund are included on the balance sheet. The statement of revenue, expenses and changes in
equity reports revenues and expenses. The proprietary funds are reported using the accrual basis of
accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are
incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods
in connection with a proprietary fund s principal ongoing operations. All revenues and expenses
not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.
Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions
associated with the principal activity of the fund. The principal operating revenues for the
proprietary funds are fees and charges for water and sewer, airports, solid waste, inspection services,
emergency medical services, convention center, self-insurance, compensated absence debt service
and fleet internal service operations. Operating expenses for the enterprise funds, and the internal
service funds, include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses and depreciation of
capital assets.
Non-operating revenues, such as subsidies and investment earnings, result from nonexchange
transactions or ancillary activities. They include property taxes, grants, entitlements, donations and
capital contributions. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal
year for which the taxes are levied. Revenue from grants, entitlements, and donations is recognized
in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.
Contributions of capital in proprietary fund financial statements arise from internal and external
contributions of capital assets or from grants or outside contribution of resources restricted to capital
acquisition and construction.

C. Measurement Focus, Basis o Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation – Continued
5. Other Financial Statement Presentation In ormation
The County currently employs an indirect allocation system. An administrative service fee is
charged by the General Fund, at the direction of the Board of County Commissioners, to several
special revenue and enterprise funds to address General Fund services (finance, personnel,
purchasing, legal, technology management, etc.) provided.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide
financial statements. An exception to this general rule is the charge back of services, such as
insurance costs, vehicle maintenance, and central costs. Elimination of these charges would distort
the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
The County reports the following ma or governmental funds:
General Fund
This is the County s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the
general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Fine and For eiture Fund
This fund is used to account for all criminal ustice activity of Okaloosa County including the
concession sales and expenses related to prisoner activities.
This fund includes
appropriations to the Sheriff, the County Department of Corrections, the Clerk of the Circuit
and County Courts, the Circuit and County Judges, the County Medical Examiner, the State
Attorney and the State Public Defender. The fund accounts for most restricted activity related
to fees generated from the assessment of court costs or fees collected by the Clerk of the
Circuit Court for the County such as those for the improving of court facilities, providing
education and training for law enforcement officers, activities of the Law Library and Legal
Aid that are funded under Chapter 67-1787, Laws of Florida from assessment of a court cost
and the proceeds from the sale of confiscated property declared forfeited by the Circuit Court.
Natural Disasters Fund
This fund is used to account for disaster funding and expenditures not considered normal
recurring operating activity of the County. During fiscal year ended September 30, 2006,
Okaloosa County did not have any new hurricane activity, however, the County was
recovering from damages from urricanes Dennis and Katrina that occurred in 2005 and
from sever damage by urricane Ivan that occurred in fiscal year 2004. This fund accounts
for all recovery activity relating to the storms and for all sources of revenue, federal, state and
local used to fund those activities.
The County reports the following ma or enterprise funds:
Water and Sewer Fund
This fund is used to account for the user charges and expenses associated with the provision
of water and sewer services to residents of the unincorporated areas of Okaloosa County.

sources include federal and state grants, fees from concessionaires and other fees and charges
for services to tenants and airport users.
Solid Waste Fund
This fund is used to account for the revenues and expenses associated with the provision of
solid waste management within Okaloosa County.
Con erence Center Fund
This fund is used to account for the general operation of the Conference Center. This fund
also accounts for the debt service on the Fourth Cent Tourist Development Tax Revenue
Bonds, Series 2000, issued to fund construction of the Conference Center.
The County reports the following fund types:
Internal Service Funds
These funds account for insurance coverage, fleet management services, and funding of
compensated absence debt provided to other departments or agencies of the government, or to
other governments, on a cost reimbursement basis.
Agency Funds
These funds account for monies held on behalf of individuals and companies that use the
County as a depository; property taxes, fines, court costs, licenses and fees collected on
behalf of other governments; and surety bonds and performance deposits.
D.
Assets, Liabilities, and Net Assets or Equity
1. Deposits and Investments
Sections 28.33, 218.415, and 219.075, Florida Statutes, require the investment of surplus public
funds and prescribe the instruments in which those investments are authorized, specifically the State
of Florida Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund; SEC registered money market funds with
the highest credit quality rating; interest-bearing time deposits or savings accounts in qualified
public depositories as defined in s. 280.02; direct obligations of the United States Treasury, federal
agencies and instrumentalities; and securities of or other interest in certain investment companies or
investment trusts the portfolio of which is limited to obligations of the United States Government or
any agency or instrumentality thereof and to repurchase agreements fully collateralized by such
obligations. Because the County has adopted written investment policies as provided in subsection
(1) through (15) of s. 218.415, other investments may be authorized by resolution or ordinance.
Currently authorized are investments in term repurchase agreements with primary broker/dealers
collateralized in the County s name by securities of the United States Government or any agency or
instrumentality thereof; overnight repurchase agreements with collateral held by the custodian bank
or its trust department; tax exempt bonds, notes or obligations rated in the two highest
classifications; inventory-based domestic bankers acceptances eligible to qualify for use as

collateral at the Federal Reserve Bank; SEC registered open-end mutual funds whose portfolios
consist of United States Government securities and repurchase agreements secured by such
securities; and Florida Local Government Investment Trust. The County adheres strictly to the
provisions of those cited Statutes and investments authorized by resolution or ordinance, as well as
with Chapter 517, Florida Statutes, which establishes registration procedures for securities and
dealers.
The Board of County Commissioners maintains a cash and investment pool available for use by all
funds of the Board. Earnings from such investments are allocated to the respective funds based on
applicable cash participation by each fund. In addition, certificates of deposits, money market
accounts and debt securities can be separately maintained by several Board funds. Other elected
officials maintain similar pooled cash accounts or individual cash accounts through which their
office activities are managed.
Each fund s portion of the pooled cash and individual deposit type investments are displayed on the
balance sheet as “cash and cash equivalents.” For purposes of these statements, all highly liquid
investments (including restricted assets) with maturity of ninety days or less when purchased are
considered to be cash equivalents.
U.S. Treasury and agency obligations with maturities of one year or less when purchased are
reported on the balance sheet at their amortized cost. Nonparticipating investment contracts,
generally certificates of deposit, are reported at cost. All other investments are reported at fair
value. The State of Florida provides regulatory oversight for the external investment pools in which
the County invests. The pools either meet the “2A-7 like” criteria of GASB 31 or value investments
at fair value. Therefore, fair value of the position in these pools is the same as the value of the pool
shares.
2. Receivables and Payables
During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual funds for goods
provided or services rendered. These receivables and payables are classified as “due from other
funds or elected officials” or “due to other funds or elected officials” on the fund statement balance
sheets. Short-term interfund loans are also classified as “interfund receivables/payables.” Noncurrent portions of long-term interfund loan receivables are reported as advances and are offset
equally by a fund balance reserve account that indicates that they do not constitute expendable
available financial resources and therefore are not available for appropriation. Any residual
balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in
the government-wide financial statements as “internal balances.”
The Emergency Medical Services Enterprise Fund and the Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund are the
only funds of Okaloosa County that provide for an allowance for doubtful accounts for trade
accounts receivables. All other funds write off accounts receivable when determined to be
uncollectible.

2. Receivables and Payables - Continued
Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property as of the date of assessment and remain in
effect until discharge by payment. Taxes are payable when levied (on November 1, or as soon
thereafter as the assessment roll becomes available to the Tax Collector). The County bills and
collects its own property taxes, as well as taxes for the County School District and taxes for
municipalities and special districts within the County in accordance with the laws of the State of
Florida. No accrual has been made for 2005 ad valorem taxes because property taxes are not legally
due until subsequent to the end of the fiscal year. Collection of taxes and remittance of them to
other governmental agencies are accounted for in the Disbursements Agency Fund of the Tax
Collector.
The following is the current property tax calendar.

Discounts of 1% for each month taxes are paid prior to March 2007 are granted.
Revenue recognition criteria for property taxes under the Governmental Accounting Standards
Board requires that property taxes expected to be collected within 60 days of the current period be
accrued. Current year taxes that are uncollected as of the end of the fiscal year are generally
immaterial in amount and highly susceptible to uncollectibility and, therefore, are not recorded as a
receivable on the balance sheet date.
3. Inventories and Prepaid Items
Inventory is valued at cost (first-in, first-out) in the governmental funds and at lower of cost (first-in,
first-out) or market in the proprietary funds. The consumption method is used to account for the
inventory. Under the consumption method, inventory items are recorded as expenditures during the
period inventory is used.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded
as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements.
4. Restricted Assets
Certain proceeds of the Water and Sewer System Enterprise Fund revenue bonds, the Airport
Enterprise Fund revenue bonds and the Conference Center Enterprise Fund revenue bonds, as well
as certain resources set aside for their repayment, are classified as restricted assets on the balance
sheet because their use is limited by applicable bond covenants. In addition, restricted assets include
funds set aside for repayment of customer deposits in several enterprise funds.

assets are not capitalized in the governmental funds used to acquire or construct them.
capital acquisition and construction are reflected as expenditures in governmental funds,
related assets are reported on the government-wide statement of net assets of Okaloosa
Capital assets acquired by proprietary funds are reported in those funds.
Property, plant and equipment purchased or acquired is carried at historical cost or estimated
historical cost. Contributed assets are recorded at fair market value as of the date received. The
County s capitalization levels are $1,000 on tangible personal property and $5,000 on buildings,
improvements other than buildings and infrastructure. The Sheriff maintains a tangible personal
property inventory and uses a $1,000 capitalization level. Other costs incurred for repairs and
maintenance are expensed as incurred. General infrastructure assets acquired prior to July 1, 1980
are included in the capital asset inventory and are reported at estimated historical cost using deflated
replacement cost.
Depreciation on all assets is provided on the straight-line basis over the following estimated useful
lives:
_______________YEARS______________
Buildings 10 - 50
Improvements Other Than Buildings 7 – 25
Equipment 3 – 7
Vehicles 2 - 15
Roads and Bridges 10 – 75
Wastewater Lines and Pump Stations 10 – 50
Other Infrastructure 10 - 50
6. Compensated Absences
The liability for compensated absences reported in the government-wide and proprietary fund
statements consists of unpaid, accumulated annual and sick leave or compensatory time balances.
The liability is accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial
statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds financial statements only
if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements.
7. Accrued Liabilities and Long-Term Obligations
All payables, accrued liabilities and long-term obligations are reported in the government-wide
financial statements and the proprietary fund financial statements.
In general, governmental fund payables and accrued liabilities that, once incurred, are paid in a
timely manner and in full from current financial resources are reported as obligation of these funds.
owever, compensated absences and claims that will be paid from governmental funds are reported
as a liability in the find financial statements only to the extent that they are “due for payment”
during the current year. Bonds and capital leases are recognized as a liability in the governmental
fund financial statements when due. . At the inception of capital leases reported in governmental
funds, expenditures and an “Other Financing Source” of an equal amount are reported at the net
present value of future minimum lease payments.
44
D.
8. Bond Premiums, Discounts and Issuance Costs
On the government-wide statement of net assets and the proprietary fund type statement of net
assets, bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the
life of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the
applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and
amortized over the term of the related debt. Unamortized losses on bonds are presented as a
reduction of the face amount of bonds payable. The Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund is the only
fund that has unamortized losses on bonds. These unamortized losses on revenue bonds as of
September 30, 2006 are $605,219 (Series 2004).
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts,
as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported
as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing
sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs,
whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service
expenditures.
9. Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance for amounts
that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for use for a
specific purpose. Designations of fund balance represent tentative management plans that are
sub ect to change. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the
policy of the Board to use restricted resources first, and then unrestricted resources as they are
needed.
10. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 2 – STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
A. BUDGETARY INFORMATION
Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. Annual
appropriated budgets are adopted for all governmental and proprietary funds; however, budgets for
proprietary funds are not required to be reported on and are not included in these financial statements. All
appropriations lapse at fiscal year end. Budgetary data reflected in the financial statements are established
by the following Board procedures.
On or about June 1 of each year, proposed budgets are received by the Board of County Commissioners
from its department heads, from all other constitutional officers, and from other agencies requesting
funding for the ensuing fiscal year. These proposed expenditures, along with all estimated receipts, taxes
to be levied, and balances expected to be brought forward are considered by the Board of County
Commissioners in a series of workshops beginning on or before July 15. The Board of County
45
NOTE 2 – STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY – CONTINUED
A. BUDGETARY INFORMATION - CONTINUED
Commissioners requires such changes as deemed necessary, sets proposed millages and establishes dates
for tentative and final public budget hearings as prescribed by Florida Statutes. Proposed budgets are
advertised in a newspaper of general circulation in the County. Public hearings are conducted in Crestview
and Fort Walton Beach for the purpose of receiving input, responding to complaints and providing reasons
and explanations for intended actions to all citizens participating.
In the event the final budget has not been adopted by October 1, the beginning of the fiscal year, Florida
Statutes provide for expenditures based on the adopted tentative budget or the Board readopts its prior
year s adopted final budget, as amended, and expends monies based on that budget until such time as its
tentative budget is adopted pursuant to law. The final appropriations budget is adopted by resolution of the
Board of County Commissioners.
Florida Statutes require that the individual budgets of several of the constitutional officers must be
approved by the State of Florida. The “fee” portion of these budgets is not a part of the appropriations
budget passed by the Board of County Commissioners.
The budgetary information shown in these
financial statements includes the entire budget for each constitutional office. The level of budgetary control
(that is the level at which expenditures cannot legally exceed appropriations) has been established at the
fund level. The County Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within departments of a fund
and between departments of a fund; however, the Board of County Commissioners must approve any
revisions that alter the total expenditures of any fund. Each constitutional officer is authorized to make line
item transfers but must request approval from the Board for increases in appropriations.
Budget amounts are originally adopted amounts as amended by action of the Board of County
Commissioners by revision of fund totals. Supplemental budgetary appropriations of $75,489,681
representing a 26.88 percent increase over the original adopted budget were necessary during the fiscal
year. All amendments to originally adopted amounts were made in a legally permissible manner.
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for the
expenditure of resources are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is
employed in the governmental funds. Encumbrances at fiscal year end do not constitute expenditures since
the commitments will be honored during the subsequent year. Encumbrances will instead be reported as a
reservation of fund balance.
B. DEFICIT FUND EQUITY
The Solid Waste Enterprise Fund reported deficit fund equity of $3,564,707 for the year ended September
30, 2006. The deficit is caused by changes in reporting closure costs and long-term care costs for the solid
waste landfills of the County. Further description of these costs and methods of funding them are
discussed in Note 7.
The Self Insurance Internal Service Fund reported deficit fund equity of $2,379,949. Claim liabilities for
workers compensation, general and automobile liabilities and property damage are funded by actuarially
pro ected budget requirements for expected yearly cash payouts. This funding method results in a deficit
fund balance which will be charged back to the other funds over a reasonable period of time so that service
fund revenues and expenses will be equal.
46
NOTE 3 – DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
The County maintains its deposits only with qualified public depositories as defined in Chapter 280,
Florida Statutes. The provisions of this statute generally require public funds to be deposited in a bank or
savings association designated by the State Chief Financial Officer as a “Qualified Public Depository”.
All qualified public depositories must maintain deposit insurance. They also must place with or in the
name of the Chief Financial Officer of the State of Florida, collateral in the amount of the greater of the
average daily balance of public deposits multiplied by the average monthly balance of public deposits or
125 percent of the average daily balance of public deposits greater than capital. Collateral requirements
may be increase according to statue if specified conditions exist. Eligible collateral includes federal,
federally-guaranteed, state and local government obligations and corporate bonds. In the event of default
by a qualified public depository excess losses over insurance and collateral will be recovered through
assessments to all qualified public depositories of the same type as the depository in default. Under this
method, all County deposits, including certificates of deposit, are considered fully insured.
As of September 30, 2006 the County had the following investments:

State Statutes and the formal investments and portfolio policies adopted by the Board of County
Commissioners restrict the types of investments that can be made by the County. A description of the
requirements and the types of investments allowed as well as information about valuation and other
investment policies can be found in Note 1.D.1.
The investment policy manual details the methods used to manage the risks inherent to the investment
process. The authority for investment of County funds rests with the Clerk of the Circuit Court who has
delegated management of the investment program to the Finance Director. Investments can only be made
by ma ority vote of the investment committee appointed by the Clerk. Although the policies allow
investments in many types of instruments, the investment committee has chosen to limit investment risks
by investing mainly in allowed investment pools. The pools manage interest rate risk by limiting the
weighted average maturity of their portfolios, manage credit risk by investing in mainly governmental and
other highly rates securities, manage concentration of credit risk by limiting investment in any one issuer to
less than 5 percent of the portfolio and manage custodial credit risk by requiring collateral for investments
held by counterparties.
47
NOTE 3 – DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS – CONTINUED
Interest rate risk. In accordance with the investment policy, the exposure to declines in fair value of
investments outside of the pools is managed by matching the investments to a specific cash flow
requirement. The Treasury bill, repurchase agreement and instrumentalities are matched to the timing of
required debt service payments.
Credit risk. As of September 30, 2006, the investment in Florida Local Government Investment Trust
investment pool was rated AAAS-1 by Standard and Poor s. The U.S. government instrumentalities held
at September 30 were all AAA rated by Standard and Poor s and other rating agencies. The investment in
Florida Local Government Surplus Fund Trust investment pool has not been rated.
Concentration of credit risk. The investment policies of the County diversify the portfolio by limiting the
maximum percentage of various types of investments that can be purchased. The investment policy
maximum percentages for the current portfolio are 50 percent for U.S. Treasuries, agencies and
instrumentalities and 50 percent for repurchase agreements. More than 5% of the County s investments
are in the Federal ome Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Federal National Mortgage Association.
These investments are 9.6% and 15.8% respectively of the County s total investments.
Custodial credit risk. Okaloosa County has a perfected first security interest in the collateral underlying
the repurchase agreement. U.S. Treasury bills and U.S. instrumentalities are held by the County s agent in
the County s name in accordance with the Okaloosa County Investment Policy requiring third party
custody and safekeeping.

NOTE 7 - LANDFILL CLOSURE AND POST CLOSURE CARE COSTS
The County is required to study, estimate, and certify to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection the estimated cost to close and to perform
certain maintenance and monitoring functions at Baker Landfill, Wright Landfill, and Laurel ill Landfill
for thirty years after closure and Niceville Landfill for twenty years after closure. One hundred percent of
the landfill capacity has been used in the landfills and they have all been permanently closed.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection approved termination of long-term care at the
permanently closed Laurel ill Landfill effective September 30, 2006.
The County is required by state and federal laws and regulations to develop its estimates using rates
normal to commercial contracting firms and is based on the amount of the landfill capacity used to date,
100%. The landfill closure and post closure costs are reevaluated each year. The estimate is sub ect to
changes resulting from inflation, deflation, technology, or changes in applicable laws or regulations. The
effect of this change in estimates has been reflected in the operations of the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund
and has increased net income by $643,701. The estimated liability for landfill closure and post closure care
costs has a balance of $4,585,262 as of September 30, 2006.
The County issued bonds during the fiscal year ended September 30, 1991 to cover a portion of the
estimated closure and post-closure care costs for the Wright Landfill, which ceased operations on March 1,
1990. Information on that Bond Issue can be found in Note 10.

NOTE 13 - PENSION PLAN
Plan Description
Okaloosa County contributes to the Florida Retirement System (FRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer
defined benefit pension plan administered by the State of Florida Division of Retirement, Department of
Management Services. The Florida Retirement System provides retirement, disability or death benefits to
plan members or their designated beneficiaries. Florida Statutes Chapter 121 provides the authority under
which benefit provisions are established. The provisions may only be amended by legislative action.
Beginning in 2002, a defined contribution plan alternative to the existing defined benefit plan known as the
Public Employee Optional Retirement Program or the FRS Investment Plan became available to FRS
members. Members in either plan who have reached normal retirement age may retire and continue
employment with the County for up to 60 months. During that period the member s retirement benefits
accumulate in the FRS Trust Fund increased by a cost-of-living ad ustment each July and earned interest at
an annual rate of 6.5%. The Florida Retirement System issues a publicly available financial report that
includes financial statements and required supplementary information. That report may be obtained by
writing to State of Florida Division of Retirement, PO Box 9000, Tallahassee, Florida 32315-9000; emailing Research and Education at rep@dms.myflorida.com; or by calling (877) 377-1737.
Funding Policy
Contribution requirements of the plan are established in Florida Statutes Chapter 121 and may only be
amended by legislative action. All retirement legislation must comply with Article X, Section 14 of the
State Constitution and with Part VII, Chapter 112, Florida Statutes. Both of these provisions require that
any increase in retirement benefits must be funded concurrently on an actuarially sound basis. Active plan
members do not contribute to the plan. The FRS funding policy provides for monthly employer
contributions at actuarially determined rates that, expressed as percentages of annual covered payroll are
adequate to accumulate sufficient assets to pay benefits when due. Level percentages of payroll employer
contribution rates, established by state law, are determined using the entry-age actuarial funding method.
If an unfunded actuarial liability re-emerges as a result of future plan benefit changes, assumption changes,
or methodology changes, it is assumed any unfunded actuarial liability would be amortized over 30 years,
using level dollar amounts. Except for gains reserved for rate stabilization, it is anticipated future actuarial
gains and losses are amortized on a rolling 10% basis, as a level dollar amount. Effective July 1, 2002, the
Florida Legislature established a uniform contribution rate system for the FRS, covering both the FRS
Pension Plan and the FRS Investment Plan. The current actuarially determined contribution rates
expressed as a percentage of covered payroll are for regular employees 6.72%, special risk employees
17.42%, special risk administrative support 8.81%, elected udges 17.54%, elected county officers 14.12%,
senior management service class 9.34%, and 8.22% for the Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP).
The County s contributions to the plan for the years ended September 30, 2006, 2005, and 2004, listed
below were equal to the required contributions for the year.

NOTE 14 - POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
In addition to the pension benefits described in Note 9, the County offers postretirement health care
benefits, in accordance with the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliations Act of 1985 (COBRA), to
all employees who retire from the County. Similar coverage is also offered terminated employees under
the same COBRA rules except that the retiree coverage has no maximum coverage period. The retiree or
the terminated employee pays the premium expense for health care benefits. The County records no
expenditures for postemployment health care. At September 30, 2006, 65 of the former employees of the
County were eligible to receive postemployment benefits under the health care plan.
In 1987, the Florida Legislature established the Retiree ealth Insurance Subsidy to assist retirees of all
state-administered retirement systems in paying health insurance costs. Eligible retirees received an extra
$5 per month for each year of creditable service completed at the time of retirement with a minimum
monthly payment of $30 and a maximum payment of $150.
To be eligible to receive the ealth Insurance Subsidy, a retiree under any state-administered retirement
must provide proof of health insurance coverage, which can include Medicare. Any spouse or financial
dependent who receives a monthly retirement benefit may also receive the ealth Insurance Subsidy.
The ealth Insurance Subsidy program is funded by requirement contributions from Florida Retirement
System participating employers. For fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, each employer contributed
1.11% of payroll for all active employees covered by the Florida Retirement System. This contribution is
added to the amount submitted for retirement contributions but is deposited in a separate trust fund (The
Retiree ealth Insurance Subsidy Trust Fund) from which ealth Insurance Subsidy payments are
authorized. If these contributions fail to provide full subsidy benefits to all participants, the subsidy
payments may be reduced or canceled.
NOTE 15 - RISK MANAGEMENT
The County is exposed to risk of loss for claims and udgments for public liability, workers compensation,
employee medical benefits and other special risks. The County uses the Self Insurance Internal Services
Fund to account for all risks from workers compensation loss, general liability, and medical benefit claims
for all County employees except those of the Sheriff, from catastrophic damage to real and tangible
property and from special risk policies for the Board. A mixture of commercial insurance coverage and
self-insurance, which is described below, manages the risk to the County. There has been no significant
reduction in insurance coverage from the prior fiscal year, and insurance coverage has been sufficient to
cover all claims made in the prior three fiscal years.
A.
Method of Risk Management
Public Liability
Florida Statutes 768.28(5) limits the maximum County liability for claims and udgments by
any one person and any one incident to $100,000 and $200,000, respectively. The County
self-insures public liability claims for automobile, general and professional liability. A third
party administrator manages claims. Currently, the County retains the risk for the first
$200,000 ($50,000 for automobile liability) of each claim or incident. Excess insurance is
purchased to cover losses over the $200,000 ($50,000 for automobile liability) self-insured
retention.
The Sheriff maintains a commercial insurance policy for public liability and bears no risk of
loss under this type of coverage.
70
NOTE 15 - RISK MANAGEMENT - CONTINUED
Property Insurance
The County self-insures the risk of physical loss to its real property, business property and
equipment. The County retains the risk of the first $50,000 of physical damage to County
property. The self-insurance retention increases to a maximum of $200,000 if the damage is
the result of a named storm. Excess insurance is purchased to cover the physical damage
exposure over the self-insured retention amount.
All Lines Aggregate Policy
The County purchased an All Lines Aggregate insurance policy that limits the County s risk
for deductible and self-insured retention expenses to $2,400,000 for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2006.
Workers’ Compensation
The County contracts with a service company to have its workers compensation claims
processed. The County retains risk for all claims up to $400,000 per employee per accident.
Excess insurance is purchased to cover losses up to $25,000,000 for workers compensation
and $1,000,000 for employers liability. The County retains no liability for claims that have
been settled by purchase of annuity contracts.
The Sheriff participates in the Florida Sheriff s Association Workers Compensation
Program. It is a fully insured, guaranteed cost program with a deductible trust fund and
insurance with a commercial carrier. The Sheriff retains no risk.
Employee Medical Benefits
The Board of County Commissioners and all other elected officials of Okaloosa County,
except the Sheriff, use a fully insured commercial insurance plan to fund employee medical
benefits. The Board of County Commissioners or elected official pays the premiums for the
employees while the individual pays for dependent and retiree coverage. The County bears
no risk of loss under this type of coverage.
The Sheriff uses a self-funded health plan to provide comprehensive medical benefits to
employees, retirees and their dependents. The plan is funded by contributions from the
Sheriff s General Fund resources and employee contributions. The Sheriff contracts with the
Florida Sheriffs Association Multiple Employers Trust for claims processing. The plan has
an accumulated surplus of $671,346 as well as sufficient revenue to pay current and future
liabilities, as required by Florida Statutes, Section 112.08.
Excess insurance is purchased from a commercial carrier to provide a Specific Claim and
Aggregate Limits coverage. Specific claim coverage benefits the covered individual by
providing $1,000,000 of coverage to begin when a specific claim exceeds $65,000. This
coverage is sub ect to a $2,000,000 aggregate lifetime maximum limit per covered individual.
Aggregate Limits coverage limits the Sheriff s total risk exposure. This coverage provides
the Sheriff with an additional $1,000,000 in coverage for the coverage year when total claims
paid less the total paid under the Specific Claim excess coverage exceeds $3,472,577 for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2006.
71
A.
Method of Risk Management – Continued
The Sheriff uses an internal service fund to account for risks from medical benefit claims.
Claim expenditures and liabilities are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred and
the amount of that loss can be reasonably estimated. At September 30, 2006, the amount of
these liabilities was $377,577. This liability has been determined based on an actuarial
evaluation of all claims reported and all claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) as of
September 30, 2006. Claim liabilities are calculated considering the effects of inflation,
recent claim settlement trends including frequency and amount of payouts and other
economic and social factors.

Special Risk Policies
The Board of County Commissioners purchases commercial crime coverage against theft of
money and securities. All of the other elected officials, except the Sheriff, are covered under
the policy. Florida Statute requires certain classes of employees be provided with a special
death and disability benefit. The Board of County Commissioners purchases a commercial
policy. The County bears no risk of loss under this type of coverage. The Sheriff insures this
exposure separately.

auto liability (both bodily in ury and property damage) have been determined based on an actuarial
evaluation of all claims reported and all claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) as of September
30, 2006. Claim liabilities are calculated considering the effects of inflation, recent claim settlement
trends including frequency and amount of payouts and other economic and social factors. The
actuarial estimation of ultimate losses does not include any future recoveries from the Florida
Special Disability Fund, subrogation or third party liens, etc. except to the degree they are implicitly
included in the trending process of estimating ultimate losses. The ultimate loss calculation does
take into consideration specific excess reinsurance recoverable. Claims liabilities recognized in the
Self Insurance Fund of the Board of County Commissioners at September 30, 2006 were as follows.

Funding of Claims Liabilities
The Self Insurance Fund charges the other funds of the Board and other participating elected
officials for the cost of claim liabilities based on actuarially pro ected budget requirements for
expected yearly cash payouts. This funding method results in a deficit fund balance that will be
charged back to the other funds over a reasonable period of time so that service fund revenues and
expenses will be approximately equal.

NOTE 16 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
911 Service Agreement
At the end of fiscal year 2003, the Board of County Commissioners converted an existing operating lease
for 911 communications equipment to a capital lease. The new lease also included installation of
additional and upgraded equipment. Details of that lease are in Note 9. At the same time the Board
entered into a sixty-month service agreement on the equipment requiring monthly payments of $10,514
beginning October 1, 2003. This obligation totaled $630,840 over the lease term and has $252,336
liability remaining at September 30, 2006.
Reclaimed Water System
The Board of County Commissioners has entered into an agreement to share equally in the costs to
expand a reclaimed water system with the City of Niceville. Prior capital expenditures by the County of
approximately $1,300,000 have been matched by the City to achieve an equitable basis for ownership of
the future oint venture. Additional capital expenditure by the County totaled $1,000,000 through
September 30, 2006. After the system becomes operational, the County agreed to perform minor
maintenance services, equally share with the City of Niceville the future costs of capital expenditures,
operations, ma or maintenance and billing and collection services. The agreement, signed in October
2002, has an initial term of 20 years which may be continued for additional ten-year increments by mutual
written consent of both parties. The system began preliminary operations in November, 2006 and should
be fully on-line in early 2007. The County s investment in this oint venture will be carried in the Water
and Sewer Enterprise Fund.
Customer Facility Charge Agreement
As of December 1, 2004, the County entered into a Customer Facility Charge Agreement with the onairport rental car companies. In accordance with Ordinance No. 04-64, the County imposes and the rental
car companies collect on behalf of the County, a Customer Facility Charge (GFC) of two dollars and fifty
cents ($2.50) per rental car transaction Day on all rental car contracts. CFC revenue will be utilized by
the County to construct, operate and maintain facilities and services for the rental car operators and their
customers at the Okaloosa Regional Airport. CFC collections for the year ended September 30, 2006
were $781,260.
Grants
Amounts received or receivable from grant agencies are sub ect to audit and ad ustment by grantor
agencies, principally the federal government. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already
collected, may constitute a liability of the applicable funds. The amount, if any, of expenditures which
may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although the County expects such
amount, if any, to be immaterial.
Lawsuits
The County is a defendant in various lawsuits. Although the outcome of these lawsuits is not presently
determinable, it is the opinion of the County s counsel that resolution of most of these matters will not
have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the County.
75
NOTE 16 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES -CONTINUED
Arbitrage Rebate
Section 148(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the proposed and temporary
regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service on May 15, 1989, and made final effective May 18,
1992, require the rebate to the United States government of the excess of earnings on non-purpose
investments over earnings which would have been made on such investments if they had been made at
bond yield, together with earnings on all future rebate amounts. Although rebates need not be remitted
until five years after issuance of the bonds and each five years thereafter, computations must be made
annually to show financial position at fiscal year end. Okaloosa County has four bond issues falling
within the purview of the above directives - $5,155,000 Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 1992;
$13,450,000 Fourth Cent Tourist Development Tax Revenue Bonds, Series 2000; and $10,860.000
Airport Revenue Bonds, Series 2003; and $31,170,000 Water and Sewer Revenue Bond, Series 2004.
According to the calculations, the County has no rebate liability with respect to the bonds at September
30, 2006. This determination reflects the liability on that date only and does not represent any amount
that may be due at the end of the five-year period from the delivery date of the bonds.
Hurricane Activity
In September 2004, Okaloosa County, along with most of Northwest Florida, sustained damage due to
urricane Ivan. During fiscal year 2005 the County also received damage from urricane Dennis and
urricane Katrina. Recovery activities due to these events are expected to continue for several years.
The County records hurricane activities in the Natural Disasters Special Revenue Fund. Storm related
expenses incurred during fiscal year 2006 were $1,482,137. As of September 30, 2006, the County has
recorded receivables from the United States Department of omeland Security, Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) and the Florida Department of Community Affairs, Emergency
Management Agency (DCA) of $6,574,462 and $401,213, respectively. For urricane Ivan, it is
expected that FEMA will reimburse 90% of the eligible cost plus a 3% administration fee with certain
costs occurring within the first 72 hours of the event reimbursed at 100%. DCA will reimburse eligible
costs up to 5%. For the other storms, it is expected that the federal government will reimburse 75% with
the remainder to be funded by state and local sources. The remainder of the expenses including those
considered not eligible for reimbursement, such as debris removal from private property, will be covered
by insurance or funded by the County. Revenue related to the FEMA and DCA receivables has been
deferred on the balance sheet of the Natural Disasters Special Revenue Fund as some receipts from the
agencies were not available under the modified accrual basis of accounting.

NOTE 17 – RELATED ORGANIZATION
Library Cooperative
The Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners entered into an inter-local agreement with six
municipalities located within Okaloosa County, Florida to provide for operation of a countywide public
library system. The governing body of the cooperative is the Okaloosa County Public Library
Cooperative Board made up of one appointee from each municipality and the County. Capital assets
remain the property of the participating municipalities. Under the agreement, the County agreed to
provide annual funding to the cooperative of not less than the following amounts for the term of the
agreement. The current agreement is effective October 1, 2003 and ends on September 30, 2008 but is
sub ect to renewal or revision at that time. The Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners
contribution to the library cooperative for the year ended September 30, 2006 was $899,700. Future
commitments to the library cooperative are:

NOTE 18 - JOINT VENTURE
Okaloosa County, in alliance with the City of Valparaiso and City of Niceville, began implementation, in
1975, of initial steps leading to the eventual construction of a comprehensive regional sanitary sewer
system designed to provide service to residents of Niceville and Valparaiso as well as County residents
within the general area. The pro ect was funded 75% by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Grants under provisions of Public Law 92-500 and 25% by the local government applicants.
The system was completed and placed in service during the fiscal year ended September 30, 1982.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1990, a one-million gallon-per-day expansion was completed.
The Board of County Commissioners presently owns 36% of the operating capacity of the total system.
The City of Niceville is a 44% owner and the City of Valparaiso is a 20% owner. The in-service cost of
the property, plant and equipment paid for through the combined funding of the participants and the EPA
is recorded pro-rata on the accounting records of the individual participants.
The Board of County Commissioners portion of assets (at original cost) accounted for in its water and
sewer enterprise fund are as follows.

The system is managed and operated by a separate governing body (Niceville, Valparaiso, Okaloosa
County Regional Sewer Board, Inc.) consisting of six members; two appointed by each of the three
participants. The Sewer Board is responsible for preparing and approving its own budget. The cost of
operations, including additional equipment, inventory purchases, etc., are funded by water and sewer user
fees and are accounted for, in total, on the books and financial statements of the Sewer Board. The
County s share of the operating results of the Niceville, Valparaiso, Okaloosa County Regional Sewer
Board, Inc. is reported in the Board of County Commissioner s water and sewer enterprise fund. The
Board of County Commissioners portion of the equity in the oint venture is $191,340 as of September
30, 2006. Complete financial statements for the Niceville, Valparaiso, Okaloosa County Regional Sewer
Board, Inc. can be obtained from the Sewer Board s administrative office at 507 Crestview Avenue,
Niceville, Florida or from the County Clerk s office at the Okaloosa County Courthouse in Crestview,
Florida.

NOTE 19-SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On December 5, 2006, Okaloosa County issued $65,150,000 of Water and Sewer System Revenue Bonds
with and average coupon interest rate of 4.69%. The bonds were issued to refund $4,655,000 of
outstanding Water
Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 1992 with an average interest rate of 6.0%, and to
obtain construction funding for a new wastewater treatment facility. The net proceeds of $65,692,000
included an approximate $2,000,000 reoffering premium. After payment of $1,582,000 in underwriting
fees, bond insurance premiums and other insurance costs the net proceeds were used to advance refund
the Series 1992 bonds and to fund the pro ect construction fund in the amount of $60,649,775. Prior debt
service reserve funds of $3,850,225 were also transferred into the construction fund to provide a total of
$64,500,000 to construct the new facility. Final plans for the facility are not yet complete, but,
construction is targeted to begin in the next six to twelve months, with completion in approximately three
years. The County sustained an economic loss (difference between the present values of the old and new
debt service payments) on the refunded debt of $37,700.
In addition, the County executed a land lease with the United States Air Force for the property on which
the new facility is to be constructed. The lease begins October 1, 2007 and has a 30 year term. Annual
payments under the lease increase each year and range from $325,000 to $577,150. The total lease
obligation amounts to approximately $13,185,000 over the life of the lease.

Re:
Okaloosa County
Appendix B: Report of the Airport Consultant
Dear Mr. Curry:
This report sets forth findings, assumptions, and projections of the air traffic and financial
analyses developed by Ricondo & Associates, Inc. (R&A), in conjunction with the planned
issuance by Okaloosa County (County) of its Taxable Airport Revenue Bonds, Series 2007
(Series 2007 Bonds). The County operates Okaloosa Regional Airport (the Airport) as well as
two general aviation airports, Bob Sikes Airport and Destin/Ft. Walton Beach Airport,
(collectively known as the Airport System). This report is intended for inclusion in the Official
Statement for the Series 2007 Bonds as Appendix B: Report of the Airport Consultant.
The Series 2007 Bonds will provide funds, along with other available funds of the
County, to fund components of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) known as the 2007
Project, to fund the required Debt Service Reserve Fund with respect to the Series 2007 Bonds,
and to pay costs of issuance of the Series 2007 Bonds. Key components of the 2007 Project
include site development and access improvements, the relocation of the Airport fuel farm, and
the construction of relocated rental car service facilities.
This report includes an overview of the 2007 Project, the economic base of the Air Trade
Area, air traffic demand, existing airport facilities, the rental car industry and rental car demand,
other capital projects, and financial analysis related to the overall feasibility of the 2007 Project
through fiscal year (FY) 2016 1.
On the basis of the assumptions and analyses described in this report, R&A is of the
opinion that the County’s Revenue will be adequate to meet the County’s rate covenant, as set
forth in the Indenture, during the projection period FY 2008 through FY 2016. Additional
findings of these analyses include the following:
1
The County’s fiscal year is the 12-month period ending September 30.

Economic Base
x
Population growth in the Air Trade Area (as defined in Chapter 2) between 1990 and
2005 was higher than that experienced in Florida and nationwide. Population growth
in Okaloosa County 1990 and 2005 was slower than experienced in Florida but in
Santa Rosa and Walton Counties, populations grew at a rate almost double that of the
state of Florida. Population growth in the Air Trade Area between 2005 and 2015 is
expected to exceed that projected for Florida and the nation.
x
Between 2000 and 2005, per capita effective buying income (EBI) for the Air Trade
Area increased at a compounded annual growth rate that was greater than that for
both Florida and the nation. According to Sales and Marketing Management
magazine, continued strong growth in per capita EBI for the Air Trade Area is
expected between 2005 and 2010.
x
Employment rates for the Air Trade Area were higher than those for Florida and the
nation between 1995 and 2005.
x
With the exception of transportation which remained relatively flat, all of the major
industry groups in the Air Trade Area experienced positive growth between 2001 and
2005, with the highest growth occurring in the construction and financial sectors.
x
The temperate climate and natural resources of the Air Trade Area attract many
tourists to the area, many traveling into the area via the Airport.
x
The Air Trade Area is an important center for the military and the military presence
is a significant economic generator.
x
The economic base of the Air Trade Area is stable and diversified, and is capable of
supporting increased demand for air travel at the Airport during the projection period.
Air Traffic
x
The Airport is part of a wide, multi-airport catchment area that also includes
Pensacola Regional Airport (Pensacola) and Panama City-Bay County International
Airport (Panama City). Pensacola is located in Escambia County, Florida,
approximately 50 miles west of the Airport; while Panama City is located in Bay
County, Florida, approximately 70 miles east of the Airport.
x
In November 2001, the low-cost carrier AirTran shifted its service from the Airport
to Pensacola after aggressive marketing efforts by that airport to increase air service
from Pensacola. As a result, the Airport’s share of regional enplanements decreased
from 35.7 percent in CY 2001 to 27.0 percent in CY 2006, while Pensacola’s share
increased from 48.4 percent to 60.0 percent during this same period.
B-3
Mr. James D. Curry

Page 3
x
As of September 2007, the Airport had scheduled passenger service provided by
seven U.S. carriers: American Eagle, Atlantic Southeast (d/b/a the Delta Connection),
Chautauqua and ExpressJet (both d/b/a Continental Express), Delta, Gulfstream
(d/b/a the Continental Connection), and Northwest. Nonstop service from the Airport
is provided primarily to these airlines’ respective hubs (Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, and
Memphis), with Gulfstream also providing nonstop service to Tampa from the
Airport.
x
On September 14, 2005, both Delta and Northwest voluntarily filed for bankruptcy
protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Delta and Northwest filed
their respective Plan of Reorganization and related Disclosure Statement with the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court on December 19, 2006 and February 16, 2007, respectively.
Delta emerged from Chapter 11 on April 30, 2007, and Northwest emerged from
Chapter 11 on May 31, 2007.
x
Passenger activity at the Airport increased from 209,149 enplanements in FY 1996 to
370,558 in FY 2006. This increase represents a compounded annual growth rate of
5.9 percent during this period, compared to 1.8 percent growth nationwide.
Financial Analysis
x
The 2007 Project is feasible in terms of providing facilities at the Airport at a cost
that will produce reasonable levels of rates and charges to the users of the Airport
facilities.
x
Cost per enplanement for the passenger airlines that are signatory to the Signatory
Airline Operating Agreement and Terminal Building Lease (“Airline Agreement”)
(“Signatory Airlines”) is estimated to increase from approximately $5.56 budgeted in
FY 2007, to $7.33 in FY 2016, a compounded annual increase of 3.1 percent. The
Signatory Airlines’ landing fee rate as adjusted is projected to increase from
approximately $1.07 per thousand pounds budgeted in FY 2007, to $1.51 per
thousand pounds in FY 2016.
x
Projected airline rates and charges together with other Airport revenues are sufficient
to ensure that all Operation and Maintenance (O&M) expenses, debt service, and
fund deposit requirements can be generated through reasonable user fees. Debt
service coverage is projected to range from 2.53x to 3.71x, meeting the rate covenant
requirement of the Indenture in each year of the projection period.
Except as defined otherwise, the capitalized terms used in this report are as defined in the
Indenture. The techniques used in this report are consistent with industry practices for similar
studies in connection with airport revenue bond sales. While R&A believes the approach and
assumptions utilized are reasonable, some assumptions regarding future trends and events may
B-4

not materialize. Achievement of projections described in this report, therefore, is dependent upon
the occurrence of future events, and variations may be material.

Introduction
This Report of the Airport Consultant has been prepared to evaluate the financial feasibility of the
planned issuance of Taxable Airport Revenue Bonds, Series 2007 (the Series 2007 Bonds) by
Okaloosa County (the County). Proceeds of the Series 2007 Bonds will partially fund the
development of relocated rental car service and other support facilities (the 2007 Project) at Okaloosa
Regional Airport (the Airport). The 2007 Project will also be funded with federal and state grants,
investment income, and Customer Facility Charges (CFCs) on a pay-as-you-go basis. Debt service
on the Series 2007 Bonds will be repaid with Airport Revenues including a portion of Customer
Facility Charges (CFCs) collected by the rental car companies that are pledged to debt service and
coverage. This report discusses the 2007 Project, the economic base of the Air Trade Area, air traffic
demand, existing airport facilities, other capital projects, an overview of the rental car industry and
rental car demand at the Airport, and financial analysis related to the overall feasibility of the 2007
Project.
Okaloosa County operates the Airport as well as two general aviation airports, Bob Sikes Airport and
Destin/Ft. Walton Beach Airport. The Airport is a joint-use facility operated on the United States Air
Force’s Eglin Air Force Base through written agreement between Okaloosa County and the Air
Force. Through a joint-use agreement with the Department of the Air Force, the County is
authorized to permit civil aircraft to use the flying facilities at Eglin Air Force Base. The current
joint-use agreement is a 30-year agreement scheduled to expire in February 2031. In addition, the
Airport Enterprise Fund of the Board of County Commissioners leases the land on which the Airport
facilities are located from the United States Government under a 25-year agreement expiring in 2032.
With the execution of a new lease on July 30, 2007, the County’s leasehold was increased from
approximately 108 acres to approximately 131 acres, in part to support the 2007 Project.
The Airport is located six miles northeast of Fort Walton Beach and primarily serves Okaloosa
County and portions of Santa Rosa and Walton Counties. Approximately 370,600 passengers were
enplaned at the Airport in Fiscal Year (FY) 2006. Based on passenger enplanement levels, the
Airport is designated as a small-hub facility by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Delta
Air Lines and its affiliated carriers maintain the largest share of air traffic at the Airport and enplaned
approximately 50.1 percent of the Airport’s total traffic in FY 2006.
As discussed in Section 4.4.6 of this report, the County executed the Rental Car Concession Agreement
and Lease (the Concession Agreement) with the five rental car companies currently operating on the
Airport in October 2005. The term of the Concession Agreement extends until September 30, 2010.
The County has also executed a new Rental Car Service Facilities Lease (Lease Agreement) with the
rental car companies. The new Lease Agreement includes the rental car facilities in the 2007 Project.
The rental car companies serving the Airport began collecting CFCs from customers renting cars at the
Airport following the adoption of County Ordinance No. 04-64 (the Ordinance) on October 19, 2004.
The Ordinance was amended on May 1, 2007 and the CFC level was increased from $2.50 to $3.25 per
rental transaction day. As of July 1, 2007, a uniform CFC of $3.25 per rental transaction day is imposed
on rental car customers’ rental agreements at the Airport. The CFC can be increased by subsequent
ordinance of the County.
The following section of this chapter provides a description of the 2007 Project and its estimated
costs.

1.1
The 2007 Project
In continuation of the development and expansion of the Airport, the County desires to implement
the 2007 Project which includes, among other components, the relocation of all rental car service
functions on the Airport to a 22.6 acre site located east of the Terminal Building. The site was
recently added to the Airport leasehold following negotiations with the Air Force and the County has
received the necessary approvals from the Air Force to complete the 2007 Project. Key components
of the 2007 Project include site development and access improvements, the relocation of the Airport
fuel farm, and the construction of relocated rental car service facilities.
Site development projects include clearing and grubbing, excavation, and drainage improvements
necessary to prepare the project site for development. Utilities, including an electrical duct bank,
will be extended to the site to accommodate the lighting and utility service needs of the relocated fuel
farm and relocated rental car service facilities. Access improvements included in the 2007 Project
will provide (1) vehicular access to the site from State Road 85 to accommodate deliveries and (2)
provide connection from the site to the existing terminal loop road for Ready/Return operations. The
addition of turn lanes to State Road 85 is also included in the 2007 Project.
The Airport’s existing fuel farm will be relocated as part of the 2007 Project. Upon its completion, the
new fuel farm facility will utilize a shared fuel tank configuration in a walled containment area. The fuel
facility will be operated by the Airport and will support the storage of both aviation and automotive fuels.
Above ground tanks will provide storage capacity totaling 80,000 gallons for aviation fuel and 50,000
gallons for automotive fuel. Aviation fuel will be dispensed to trucks that will service aircraft on apron
areas that are remote from the farm. Automotive fuel will be transported through pipelines from the fuel
farm to the rental car service area.
On-grade rental car facilities to be constructed as part of the 2007 Project include roadways, a
consolidated rental car fueling facility, a five-bay consolidated wash building, a consolidated rental
car service facility building with five bays, and associated vehicle storage parking areas. Each rental
car service facility bay will include office/storage areas, a breakroom, and a vehicle maintenance area
to facilitate light automotive maintenance.
Exhibit I-1 presents a graphical depiction of the 2007 Project. Total estimated cost of the 2007
Project is approximately $13.2 million. The aviation component of the fuel farm relocation is a
separate project included in the Airport’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and is not included in
the cost of the 2007 Project. A portion of project costs associated with access improvements and site
development are anticipated to be funded with federal and state grants. Remaining project costs are
to be funded by accumulated CFC collections and the proceeds of the Series 2007 Bonds.

Economic Base for Air Transportation
The demand for air transportation is, to a large degree, dependent upon the demographic and economic
characteristics of an airport’s air trade area (i.e. the geographical area served by an airport). This
relationship is particularly true for origin-destination (O&D) passenger traffic, which has been the
foremost component of demand at the Airport. The major portion of demand for air travel at the Airport,
therefore, is influenced more by the local characteristics of the area served than by individual air carrier
decisions regarding hub and service patterns in support of connecting activity. This chapter presents data
that indicate that the Airport’s air trade area has an economic base capable of supporting increased
demand for air travel at the Airport during the projection period.
2.1
Air Trade Area
The borders of an air trade area are influenced by the location of other metropolitan areas and their
associated airport facilities. For purposes of these analyses, the primary air trade area for the Airport is
the Fort Walton Beach, Crestview, Destin, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), as defined by the
federal government’s Office of Management and Budget, and a portion of Santa Rosa and Walton
Counties. The MSA includes all of Okaloosa County. According to the federal government, an MSA is a
geographical area with a large population nucleus, along with any adjacent communities that have a high
degree of economic and social interaction with that nucleus.
It is the economic strength of the MSA that provides the primary base for supporting air transportation at
the Airport. Socioeconomic data for the MSA (hereinafter referred to as the Air Trade Area) were
analyzed in conjunction with those for Florida and the United States to determine the economic strength.
Although only a portion of Santa Rosa and Walton Counties contribute to the Air Trade Area, statistical
data are only available for the entire counties. Exhibit II-1 presents the geographical location of the
Airport’s primary air trade area, as well as its proximity to alternative facilities.
Passengers originating from neighboring Escambia, Holmes, and Washington counties as well as southern
Alabama may represent a secondary air trade area, but most passengers using the Airport originate in the
Air Trade Area.
The identification of this three-county region as the Airport’s Air Trade Area also reflects consideration
of the other two commercial service airports located in Western Florida, Pensacola Regional Airport
(PNS) and Panama City-Bay County International Airport (PFN). Each of these airports has its own
specific role and air trade area.
x
PNS, located approximately 50 miles west of the Airport, serves primarily the domestic travel
needs of its local market, which includes the majority of Santa Rosa County.
x
PFN, located approximately 70 miles southeast of the Airport, serves primarily the domestic
travel needs of its local market, which includes the majority of Walton County.
2.2
Population
Historical population for the Air Trade Area, Florida, and the United States is presented in Table II-1.
Population in the Air Trade Area increased from 253,144 people in 1990 to 328,842 people in 2000 and
to 375,601 people in 2005. Between 1990 and 2005, the Air Trade Area experienced population growth
at a compounded annual growth rate of 2.7 percent, which was higher than that experienced for Florida
and the nation (compounded annual growth rates of 2.1 percent and 1.2 percent, respectively).

Table II-1 also presents population projections for the Air Trade Area, Florida, and the nation for 2015.
As shown, population in the Air Trade Area is expected to increase from 375,601 people in 2005 to
481,000 in 2015. This increase represents a compounded annual growth rate of 2.5 percent during this
period, which is higher than that projected for both Florida and the nation (compounded annual growth
rates of 2.1 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively).
2.3
Income
One measure of the relative income of an area is its effective buying income (EBI). EBI is essentially
disposable personal income and includes personal income less personal taxes (federal, state, and local),
non-tax payments including fines and penalties, and personal contributions for social insurance. EBI is a
composite measurement of market potential and indicates the general ability to purchase an available
product or service. According to Sales and Marketing Management Magazine, of the top 300
Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas in the nation, the MSA ranked 109th in Median
Household EBI in 2005. 1
Table II-2 presents per capita EBI for the Air Trade Area, Florida, and the nation between 2000 and
2005. Per capita EBI for the Air Trade Area was lower than Florida in each year between 2000 and 2005.
Per capita EBI for the Air Trade Areas was lower than the U.S. in 2000 and 2001, but surpassed the U.S.
in 2002 and has been higher in each subsequent year with the differential increasing in each year. Also as
shown, per capita EBI for the Air Trade Area increased at a compounded annual growth rate of 4.6
percent between 2000 and 2005, which was higher than that for Florida and the nation during this same
period (compounded annual growth rates of 2.6 and 1.4 percent, respectively). EBI in the Air Trade Area
increased 12.4 percent from 2001 to 2002. Most of this increase occurred in Walton County and can be
attributed to significant growth in the area adding higher-salaried employees to the Air Trade Area.
Table II-2 also presents projections of per capita EBI for 2010, the latest year for which such projections
are currently available. According to Sales and Marketing Management magazine, per capita EBI for the
Air Trade Area is projected to increase from $20,354 in 2005 to $22,961 in 2010. This increase
represents a compounded annual growth rate of 2.4 percent during this period, which is slightly higher
than projected for Florida and the nation.
An additional indicator of the market potential for air transportation demand is the percentage of
households in the higher income categories. An examination of this indicator is important in that as
personal income increases, air transportation becomes more affordable and, therefore, is used more
frequently. Table II-2 also presents percentages of households in selected EBI categories for 2005. As
shown, 17.5 percent of households in the Air Trade Area had an EBI of $75,000 or more in 2005, which
was comparable to the 17.6 percent for Florida and 17.9 percent for the nation.
2.4
Employment
Recent employment trends for the Air Trade Area, Florida, and the United States are presented in Table
II-3. The Air Trade Area’s civilian labor force increased from approximately 140,000 workers in 1995 to
approximately 186,000 workers in 2005. This increase represents a compounded annual growth rate of
2.9 percent during this period, compared to 2.1 percent for Florida and 1.2 percent for the nation. Table
1
The Office of Management and Budget revised its geographical census definitions to include Metropolitan and
Micropolitan Statistical Areas, collectively called Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs). The CBSA
Metropolitan Areas have at least one central urbanized core area of 50,000 people and the CBSA Micropolitan
Areas have at least one urbanized core area of at least 10,000 people, but fewer than 50,000.

II-3 presents average annual unemployment rates for the Air Trade Area, which were consistently below
those for Florida and for the nation each year between 1995 and 2005.
An analysis of nonfarm employment trends by major industry division is presented in Table II-4, which
compares the Air Trade Area’s employment trends to those for the nation for 2001 and 2005. As shown,
nonfarm employment in the Air Trade Area increased from approximately 102,541 workers in 2001 to
approximately 121,887 workers in 2005. This increase represents a compounded annual growth rate of
4.4 percent during this period, which was higher than the 0.1 percent growth rate nationwide during this
same period.
The largest employers in the Air Trade Area include the military and associated services as well as
tourism service and health care. Major employers in the Air Trade Area, as measured by the number of
employees, are presented in Table II-5 and includes ResortQuest International, Wal-Mart Stores,
Crestview Aerospace, Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort and the Fort Walton Beach Medical Center.
2.5
Economic Base
This section reviews the local economy in greater detail to more clearly examine the basis for the
economic strength of the Air Trade Area. On June 12, 2007, The Wall Street Journal reported that Fort
Walton Beach ranked second in the Moody’s Economy.com Business Vitality Index, which compares 379
U.S. metropolitan areas using a number of metrics, from household income growth to regional cost
structure to employment volatility. The city trailed only Austin, Texas among the nation’s most vital
markets.
2.5.1
Services
Services employment in the Air Trade Area increased at a compounded annual growth rate of 2.5 percent
between 2001 and 2005 compared to 1.5 percent for the nation. The services sector is the largest segment
of employment in the Air Trade Area and in 2005, and accounted for approximately 53,018 employees in
the Air Trade Area (43.5 percent of total nonfarm employment), the highest employment level among
sectors.
2.5.1.1
Travel and Tourism
Tourism is a significant economic contributor for the Air Trade Area, attracting visitors to the sugar-white
beaches and other outdoor recreational opportunities. Although tourism peaks in the spring and summer,
vacationers and part-time residents from the northern United States and Canada enjoy the mild fall and
winter months. Well known beaches that attract tourists to the Air Trade Area include the following:
x
Navarre Beach in Santa Rosa County - 12 miles of coastline; eight miles undeveloped; 130 acres
in total.
x
Destin and Fort Walton Beach in Okaloosa County - 24 miles of beach.
x
The Beaches of Walton County - 26 miles of beach in 14 separate communities.
According to the Okaloosa County Economic Development Council, an estimated 4.5 million people visit
the beaches every year, contributing $1 billion annually and stimulating the need for 35,000 tourismrelated positions in Okaloosa County. Tourism provides over 45 percent of the sales tax returned by the

B-22
November 30, 2007
Okaloosa County
accounted for approximately 22,716 employees in the Air Trade Area (18.6 percent of total nonfarm

presents total retail sales for the Air Trade Area, Florida, and the nation between 2001 and 2006. As
shown, total retail sales for the Air Trade Area increased from $3.9 billion in 2001 to $7.1 billion in 2006.
This increase represents a compounded annual growth rate of 12.5 percent during this period, which was
higher than that for Florida and the nation (compounded annual growth rates of 8.5 and 4.4 percent,
respectively) and reflects the growth in population.
Table II-6 also presents projections of total retail sales for 2011, the latest year for which projections are
currently available. According to Sales and Marketing Management magazine, total retail sales for the
Air Trade Area are projected to increase at a compounded annual growth rate of 5.4 percent between 2006

The Air Trade Area is an important center for the military and its presence is a significant primary
economic generator. The Air Trade Area supports three military installations, Eglin Air Force Base,
Hurlburt Field, and Duke Field, all on one of the largest military bases in the world; Eglin Air Force Base,
covering 724 square miles of land and 101,165 square miles of water in the Gulf of Mexico. These three
installations are collectively known as the Eglin Complex. The local bases support over 60,000 active
military, civil service, and military dependents.

Air Traffic
This chapter describes historical and projected aviation activities at the Airport and discusses key factors
affecting these activity levels.
3.1
Regional Perspective
The Airport is part of a wide, multi-airport catchment area that also includes Pensacola Regional
Airport (Pensacola) and Panama City-Bay County International Airport (Panama City). As shown
earlier on Exhibit 2.1, Pensacola is located in Escambia County, Florida, approximately 50 miles
west of the Airport; while Panama City is located in Bay County, Florida, approximately 70 miles
east of the Airport. These three airports are located in the Florida Panhandle, which includes the
westernmost 16 counties in Florida. Each of these airports serves O&D passengers, with little or no
connecting passenger traffic.
Table III-1 presents regional shares of historical enplanements for these airports during calendar
year (CY) 1996 through CY 2006. As shown, regional enplanements increased from 921,551 in CY
1996 to 1.4 million in CY 2006, a compounded annual growth rate of 3.9 percent. The compounded
annual growth rate was 5.0 percent for the Airport, 4.0 percent for Pensacola, and 1.6 percent for
Panama City during this same period. On a weighted average basis, the Airport had a 29.9 percent
share of regional enplanements between CY 1996 and CY 2006, while Pensacola and Panama City
had a 54.9 and 15.1 percent share, respectively. The presence of the low-cost carrier AirTran in the
region, however, has provided a shifting of these shares of enplanements among the airports.
AirTran initiated service at the Airport in October 1996 with low-fare service to Atlanta. With the
resultant diversion of passengers from Pensacola and Panama City, the Airport’s share of regional
enplanements increased from 24.4 percent in CY 1996 to a high of 36.8 percent in CY 2000. In
November 2001, AirTran shifted its service to Pensacola after aggressive marketing efforts by that
airport to increase air service from Pensacola. As a result, the Airport’s share of regional
enplanements decreased from 35.7 percent in CY 2001 to 27.0 percent in CY 2006, while
Pensacola’s share increased from 48.4 percent to 60.0 percent during this same period. Exhibit III-1
illustrates the trends in regional shares of enplanements for the three airports.
This shifting of service by AirTran from the Airport to Pensacola in November 2001 (i.e., early FY
2002) is also reflected in average fares and revenue yield per coupon mile (revenue yields) trends for
these three airports. 1 As shown in Table III-2, average fares at the Airport were significantly below
those for Pensacola and Panama City each year between FY 1998 and FY 2001; however, average
fares at the Airport were higher than those for Pensacola beginning in FY 2002, with the difference
increasing each year through FY 2006. As also shown, revenue yields for the Airport were relatively
stable through the years shown on Table III-2; however, revenue yields decreased significantly at
Pensacola in FY 2002, from approximately $0.1700 between FY 1995 through FY 2002 to $0.1384
in FY 2003, and remained relatively stable at this level through FY 2005. Revenue yields at
Pensacola increased by approximately $0.02 in FY 2006 from the previous year’s levels; however,
they remained below revenue yields for the Airport and Panama City during this same period.
Exhibit III-2 and Exhibit III-3 illustrate the trends in average fares and revenue yields, respectively,

Table III-3 presents a comparison of daily nonstop service at these three facilities. As shown, the
Airport has a total of 23 daily nonstop flights to six markets; Pensacola has a total of 44 daily
nonstop flights to nine markets, and Panama City has a total of 12 daily nonstop flights to three
markets. As also shown, the three airports primarily serve as spokes to hub airport systems, although
there is intrastate service provided to certain destination markets such as Fort Lauderdale, Orlando,
and Tampa.
On September 15, 2006, the FAA delivered its Final Agency Decision stating a recommendation to move
the current location for Panama City approximately 12 miles northwest to a 4,000-acre west Bay County
site. It is currently estimated that the new airport will open in late 2009/early 2010.
3.2
Airlines Serving the Airport
As of September 2007, the Airport had scheduled passenger service provided by seven U.S. carriers:
American Eagle, Atlantic Southeast (d/b/a the Delta Connection), Chautauqua and ExpressJet (both
d/b/a Continental Express), Delta, Gulfstream (d/b/a the Continental Connection), and Northwest.
As discussed in more detail below, nonstop service from the Airport is provided primarily to these
airlines’ respective hubs (Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, and Memphis), with Gulfstream also providing
nonstop service to Tampa from the Airport. Table III-4 lists the airlines serving the Airport as of
September 2007.
On September 14, 2005, both Delta and Northwest voluntarily filed for bankruptcy protection under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Delta and Northwest filed their respective Plan of
Reorganization and related Disclosure Statement with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on December 19,
2006 and February 16, 2007, respectively. Delta emerged from Chapter 11 on April 30, 2007, and
Northwest emerged from Chapter 11 on May 31, 2007.
Table III-5 presents the historical air carrier base at the Airport between FY 1997 and FY 2007
(through August 2007). Specific points concerning the air carrier base at the Airport are discussed
below:
x
Atlantic Southeast has provided service at the Airport during each year shown on Table III-2.
Operating as the Delta Connection, this airline provided nonstop service to Delta’s Atlanta
hub during these years, as well as nonstop service to Delta’s Dallas hub between late FY
2002 and early FY 2005. Delta initiated mainline service at the Airport in FY 2002 with
three daily nonstop flights to Atlanta and continues to operate at the Airport. Delta’s
subsidiary Comair provided nonstop service from the Airport to Delta’s Cincinnati hub
between FY 2002 and FY 2005 and a portion of FY 2007; however, not on a daily basis.
Operating as the Delta Connection, Freedom provided service at the Airport between April
2007 and August 2007 with daily nonstop service to Atlanta.
x
Northwest has also provided service at the Airport during each year shown on Table III-2,
with three to four daily nonstop flights to its Memphis hub.
x
Chautauqua and ExpressJet operate as Continental Express at the Airport, while Gulfstream
operates as the Continental Connection. ExpressJet has provided service at the Airport since
FY 2003 with one daily nonstop flight to Continental’s Houston hub. After US Airways
Express discontinued service at the Airport in mid-FY 2005, having previously provided
nonstop service to Orlando and Tampa, Gulfstream initiated service at the Airport soon
thereafter with three daily nonstop flights to Tampa. Chautauqua initiated service at the

ExpressJet’s nonstop service to Houston from three daily flights to two daily flights.
Chautauqua currently provides two daily nonstop flights to Houston.

With Atlantic Southeast discontinuing nonstop service to Dallas from the Airport in early FY
2005, American Eagle initiated nonstop service to Dallas from the Airport later that fiscal
year with four daily flights (currently with six daily nonstop flights to this market). On
September 5, 2007, American Eagle initiated nonstop service to Chicago with one daily
flight.
x
AirTran initiated low-fare service at the Airport in the first month of FY 1997 (then ValuJet
until October 1997), providing nonstop service to Atlanta with three daily flights. As
discussed in the next section, this low-fare service stimulated passenger traffic at the Airport
between FY 1997 and FY 2001, with the incumbent Delta carriers providing competitive
low-fare service during this same period to maintain their share of the Atlanta market. In
November 2001, AirTran discontinued its service at the Airport and shifted its low-fare
Atlanta service to Pensacola Regional Airport that same month. This shifting of service was
due to incentives provided at this facility created through an airline travel bank. 2 The
Pensacola Air Travel Bank with AirTran was set up with $2.1 million and 319 local
businesses.
x
As discussed above, US Airways Express discontinued service at the Airport in mid-FY
2005. Up to this point, this airline provided daily nonstop flights to Tampa and Orlando, as
well as daily direct flights to these same markets through Panama City.

Historical Passenger Activity
This section presents historical trends in enplaned passengers at the Airport and the major factors
influencing these trends, as well as historical market shares of enplanements by airline.
3.3.1
Enplaned Passengers
Table III-6 presents historical data for enplaned passengers at the Airport and the nation. As shown,
passenger activity at the Airport increased from 209,149 enplanements in FY 1996 to 370,558 in FY
2006. This increase represented a compounded annual growth rate of 5.9 percent during this period,
compared to 1.8 percent growth nationwide. As also shown, the Airport’s share of U.S. enplanements
increased from 0.038 percent in FY 1996 to 0.055 percent in FY 2006, reflective of the higher
compounded annual growth rate experienced at the Airport than that for the nation during this period.
Specific details concerning enplaned passengers at the Airport between FY 1996 and FY 2007 (through
August 2007) are discussed below:
x
2
FY 1996 - FY 2001. The Airport experienced significant growth in enplanements between
FY 1996 and FY 2001, increasing from 209,149 enplanements in FY 1996 to 410,324
enplanements in FY 2001, the highest enplanment level at the Airport in any fiscal year to
date. This increase represented a compounded annual growth rate of 14.4 percent during this
An airline travel bank is not a typical subsidy or revenue guarantee. It is the financial commitment of a
business community to use a specific air service initiative for a specified period. At the core of an airline travel
bank is a banking arrangement that contractually locks in the financial commitment of individual businesses in
the community to support the partner airline.

period, compared to 2.4 percent nationwide. The initiation of service at the Airport by
AirTran in FY 1997 and the competitive response by Delta carriers to maintain their market
share during this period was the primary factor contributing to this significant growth in
passenger activity at the Airport. Whereas AirTran’s share of Airport enplanements
increased from 2.9 percent in FY 1996 to 23.7 percent in FY 2001, Delta carriers’ share of
Airport enplanements was relatively stable during this period, ranging from a high of 50.3
percent in FY 1997 to a low of 45.1 percent in FY 2000. Delta carriers’ share of Airport
enplanements was 45.4 percent in FY 2001.

x
FY 2002. Passenger activity at the Airport decreased from 410,324 enplanements in FY 2001 to
329,481 in FY 2002, a decrease of 19.7 percent during this period compared to an 8.3 percent
decrease nationwide. The significant decrease in activity nationwide was primarily due to the
terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 (hereinafter referred to as September 11) and the
nationwide economic slowdown. Although these events were contributing factors in the decrease
in Airport enplanements in FY 2002 (enplanements for Northwest and US Airways decreased
24.8 percent and 30.1 percent, respectively, in FY 2002 from FY 2001 levels, resulting in a
combined decrease of 32,204 enplanements for these two carriers), the discontinuation of service
by AirTran from the Airport in early FY 2002 was also a factor affecting passenger activity levels
at the Airport during this fiscal year. However, enplanements for Delta carriers increased from
186,165 in FY 2001 to 228,420 in FY 2002, as Delta initiated mainline service at the Airport in
the first month of FY 2002 utilizing 142-seat MD-80 aircraft to complement its Atlantic
Southeast service to Atlanta.
x
FY 2003 - FY 2005. Passenger activity at the Airport increased from 329,481 enplanements
in FY 2002 to 407,053 in FY 2005, nearly matching the Airport’s highest fiscal year
enplanement level reached in FY 2001. This increase represented a compounded annual
growth rate of 7.3 percent, compared to 5.1 percent nationwide. The majority of this growth
was due to increased service at the Airport by Delta carriers during this period, as passenger
activity for these carriers increased from 228,420 enplanements in FY 2002 to 278,761 in FY
2005 (accounting for approximately 65 percent of the total increase in enplanements at the
Airport during this period). During this period, Delta expanded its mainline service to
Atlanta from the Airport and added Delta Connection service to Dallas, the top-ranked
origin-destination (O&D) market for the Airport in FY 2006. 3 Based on Official Airline
Guide data, scheduled departing aircraft seats for Delta carriers increased at a compounded
annual growth rate of 6.5 percent between FY 2002 and FY 2005. In addition, ExpressJet
initiated service at the Airport in late FY 2003 providing service to Houston, the seventhranked O&D market for the Airport in FY 2006.
x
FY 2006. Passenger activity at the Airport decreased from 407,053 enplanements in FY
2005 to 370,558 enplanements in FY 2006, a 9.0 percent decrease during this period. As
discussed earlier, both Delta and Northwest filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11
in late FY 2005. Although traffic levels for Northwest remained relatively stable at the
Airport between FY 2005 and FY 2006 (79,370 and 78,783 enplanements, respectively),
activity for Delta carriers decreased from 278,761 enplanements in FY 2005 to 185,752 in
FY 2006 (a 33.4 percent decrease during this period). This decrease was primarily due to
Delta’s decision to cut back service systemwide to increase load factors and enhance revenue

nonstop service to this top O&D market from the Airport later that fiscal year.

performance as a strategy to emerge from Chapter 11. This systemwide cutback by Delta in
FY 2006 was evident at the Airport, as scheduled departing aircraft seats for Delta carriers at
the Airport decreased from 398,876 seats in FY 2005 to 234,256 in FY 2006.4 This 41.3
percent decrease in departing seats was similar to the 33.4 percent decrease in enplanements
for this carrier in FY 2006 from FY 2005 levels. Although American Eagle and Continental
Express increased by a combined 60,272 enplanements at the Airport in FY 2006, the
significant decrease in service by Delta carriers offset this increase for an overall 9.0 percent
decrease in passenger activity in FY 2006.
x
3.3.2
FY 2007 Year-to-Date. Based on data through August 2007, enplanements at the Airport
for 11 months of FY 2007 were 6.4 percent higher than enplanement levels for a similar
period in FY 2006 (364,494 and 342,665 enplaned passengers, respectively). Although Delta
enplanements were nearly 40 percent below its FY 2006 levels during 11 months of FY
2007, enplanements for its subsidiary Atlantic Southeast was nearly 35 percent above its FY
2006 levels during 11 months of FY 2007. The initiation of service by Chautauqua and
Freedom at the Airport in April 2007 provided approximately 50 percent of the growth
experienced during this period.
Enplaned Passengers by Airline
Table III-7 presents the historical share of enplanements by airline at the Airport between FY 2002 and
FY 2006. As shown, Delta carriers maintained an approximate 70 percent share of enplanements at the
Airport between FY 2002 and FY 2005. As also shown, Northwest maintained an approximate 26
percent share of Airport enplanements in FY 2002 and FY 2003; however, this share decreased to 20
percent in FY 2004 and FY 2005 due to full fiscal years of activity by Continental Express during this
period. With the cutback in service by Delta and increased passenger activity by American Eagle and
Continental Express in FY 2006, a shifting of shares of enplanements occurred during this period.
Although Northwest maintained its approximate 20 percent share of Airport enplanements in FY 2006,
approximately 20 percent of the Delta carriers’ share was redistributed to American Eagle and
Continental Express. Delta carriers, however, maintained the highest share of enplanements at the
Airport with approximately 50 percent of the total in FY 2006.

Historical Air Service
An important airport characteristic is the distribution of its O&D markets, which is a function of air
travel demands and available services and facilities. This is particularly true for the Airport, as it
services primarily O&D passengers. Table III-8 presents historical data on the Airport’s primary
(i.e., top 20) O&D markets for FY 2001 and FY 2006. As shown, the Airport primarily served
medium-haul markets in the periods depicted, with an average stage length (i.e., passenger trip
distance) of 800 miles in FY 2001 and 922 miles in FY 2006. The Airport’s average stage lengths
during these periods reflect the Airport’s geographical location and strong local demand for major
southern (i.e., Dallas and Atlanta) and eastern (i.e., Washington and New York) markets. Changes in
the O&D rankings and passenger levels are discussed below:

each of these markets (Atlanta, Washington, New York, and Memphis) decreased in FY 2006
from FY 2001 levels. The Atlanta market experienced the most significant decrease, from
92,230 passengers in FY 2001 to 35,100 passengers in FY 2006. This decrease was
primarily due to the discontinuation of service by AirTran at the Airport in FY 2002, the
resultant higher fares (on average, approximately $50 higher per ticket in FY 2006 compared
to FY 2001), and the reduction of service by Delta carriers at the Airport in FY 2006. The
decreases in O&D passengers for the other three markets were primarily due to higher fares.
x
O&D traffic to the Dallas market from the Airport increased from 29,080 passengers in FY 2001
to 42,190 in FY 2006, resulting in this market becoming the top-ranked O&D market at the
Airport in FY 2006. This increase was primarily due to American Eagle initiating daily nonstop
service to Dallas from the Airport in late FY 2005.
x
Connecting service from the Airport to Orlando, Pittsburgh, Fort Lauderdale, and Raleigh
was provided by AirTran through Atlanta in FY 2001. These markets dropped out of the top
20 O&D markets in FY 2006 primarily due to higher fares (on average, approximately $130,
$50, $45, and $75 higher per ticket, respectively, in FY 2006 compared to FY 2001 levels).
As of September 2007, daily nonstop service was provided to six markets with a total of 23 flights:
Delta’s Atlanta hub with seven flights, American’s Dallas hub with six flights, Continental’s
Houston hub with three flights, and Northwest’s Memphis hub with three flights. On September 5,
2007, American Eagle initiated nonstop service to Chicago with one daily flight. Table III-9
presents the Airport’s nonstop markets as of September 2007, including the markets served, daily
flights, and airlines providing nonstop flights. This current commercial traffic level is well below the
maximum 84 civilian aircraft operations (takeoffs and landings) permitted under the Joint-Use
Agreement between the U.S. Air Force and the City for utilizing the airfield at the Airport.
3.5
Historical Commercial Aircraft Operations and Landed Weight
This section presents historical commercial aircraft operations and landed weight by majors/nationals and
regionals/commuters. Majors/nationals are passenger air carriers having the majority of its scheduled
and/or nonscheduled service using aircraft with more than 90 seats. Regionals/commuters predominantly
utilize aircraft with 90 seats or less.
3.5.1
Commercial Aircraft Operations
Table III-10 presents historical commercial operations at the Airport between FY 2001 and FY
2006. As shown, total commercial activity at the Airport ranged from a high of 17,352 operations in
FY 2004 to a low of 14,216 operations in FY 2002. Specific points concerning trends in operational
activity by major user category at the Airport are discussed below:
x
Majors/Nationals. With AirTran discontinuing service at the Airport in early FY 2002,
major/national activity decreased 9.6 percent in FY 2002 from FY 2001 levels, from 5,266
operations to 4,758 operations during this period. This decrease was lessened by Delta
initiating mainline service at the Airport in the first month of FY 2002. Delta continued to
steadily increase its mainline presence at the Airport, as major/national activity increased to
5,538 operations by FY 2005. At its peak in FY 2005, Delta provided five to six daily
mainline flights to its Atlanta hub from the Airport. Delta’s decision to cut back service
systemwide as a strategy to emerge from Chapter 11 resulted in major/national operations
and scheduled seats to decrease 28.4 percent and 48.8 percent, respectively, in FY 2006 from
FY 2005 levels. Mainline activity by Northwest at the Airport was relatively stable between

Regionals/Commuters. Regional/commuter activity at the Airport decreased from 11,806
operations in FY 2001 to 9,458 operations in FY 2002, primarily due to the shifting of certain
Atlantic Southeast operations to Delta mainline service in FY 2002. With the continued
expansion of service by Delta carriers at the Airport, as well as the initiation of service by
ExpressJet at the Airport in mid-FY 2004, regional/commuter activity increased from 9,458
operations in FY 2002 to 12,480 operations in FY 2004. With the discontinuation of service
by US Airways Express at the Airport in mid-FY 2005, regional/commuter activity decreased
21.4 percent in FY 2005 from FY 2004 levels (from 12,480 operations in FY 2004 to 9,806
operations in FY 2005). The initiation of service by Gulfstream at the Airport in mid-FY
2006 offset the 29.4 percent decrease in scheduled seats by Atlantic Southeast in FY 2006,
resulting in activity by this major user group to increase from 9,806 operations in FY 2005 to
10,726 in FY 2006, an increase of 9.4 percent during this period.
Landed Weight by Commercial Airlines
Table III-11 presents the historical share of landed weight by commercial airlines at the Airport
between FY 2002 and FY 2006. As shown, Delta carriers and Northwest had a combined 85 to 90
percent share of Airport landed weight between FY 2002 and FY 2005. Similar to enplanements,
approximately 20 percent of the Delta carriers’ share of Airport landed weight was redistributed to
American Eagle and Continental Express in FY 2006 due to cutbacks in Delta service systemwide
during this period. Delta carriers, however, maintained the highest share of landed weight at the
Airport with approximately 50 percent of the total in FY 2006.
3.6
Factors Affecting Aviation Demand
The projections included herein were prepared on the basis of measurable factors (e.g.,
socioeconomic variables) that determine aviation activity at the Airport. This section discusses
qualitative factors that could influence future aviation activity at the Airport.
3.6.1
National Economy
Air travel demand is directly correlated to income. As consumer income and business profits
increase, so does air travel. Economic indicators in the nation prior to September 11 were beginning
to show signs of a recession. In November 2001, the National Bureau of Economic Research
officially announced that in March 2001 the U.S. economy had entered its 10th recession since the
end of World War II. The loss of household wealth dampened consumer confidence and
significantly reduced consumer spending. According to the Bush Administration’s Council of
Economic Advisers (Council), business investment slowed sharply in late 2000 and remained soft for
more than two years. Also according to the Council, the U.S. economy lost over 900,000 jobs from
December 2000 to September 2001, and then lost almost another 900,000 jobs in the three months
following September 11. 5 The effects of September 11 accelerated the downturn in consumer
spending on consumer goods and services, including spending on air travel.

According to the Council, economic conditions improved substantially in 2003 due to faster growth
in household consumption, significant gains in residential investment, and strong growth in
investment in equipment and software by businesses. Also according to the Council, the recovery of
the national economy became a full-fledged expansion in 2004, with strong output growth and steady
improvement in the labor market. This expansion of the U.S. economy continued in 2005 and 2006,
with the economy increasing 3.1 percent and 3.4 percent, respectively, from the previous year, and
payroll employment increased by 2.0 million employees in 2005 and 2.2 million employees in
2006. 6 , 7 According to the Council, economic expansion is expected to continue, with economic
growth projected to continue at approximately 3.0 percent in 2007 and thereafter, while the
unemployment rate is projected to remain stable and below 5.0 percent. 8 Blue Chip Economic
Indicators, a consensus forecast of 50 U.S. economists, also predicts GDP growth to remain near this
3.0 percent level (2.8 percent for the second half of 2007 and 2.9 percent for 2008), confirming the
Council’s forecast as well as those by the Federal Reserve Board for expansion to continue at a
moderate pace. The expected growth in the economy is a factor included in the assumptions
underlying the projections included herein.
3.6.2
State of the Airline Industry
The U.S. aviation industry has been significantly affected by a number of events that occurred earlier
this decade (e.g., September 11, the economic slowdown, the outbreak of SARS in Asia and Canada,
and the Middle East conflicts). These events contributed to substantial financial losses for the
aviation industry between 2001 and 2005 ($35 billion in cumulative net losses during this period,
excluding extraordinary restructuring charges and gains).
Since the events of September 11 and the nationwide economic slowdown, numerous U.S. passenger
airlines filed for bankruptcy court protection under Chapter 11, including (in chronological order) US
Airways (in 2002 and 2004), United, Hawaiian, Midway, ATA, Aloha, Delta, Northwest, Mesaba,
and Independence Air. Except for Midway and Independence Air, each of these airlines has since
emerged from Chapter 11, most recently Delta on April 30, 2007 and Northwest on May 31, 2007.
Midway and Independence Air ceased operations in 2003 and 2006, respectively.
The Air Transport Association estimates that the aviation industry will report earnings ranging from
$2 billion to $3 billion in 2006 and projects $4 billion in earnings for 2007. The airlines have
responded to the changing nature of the industry by furloughing employees, negotiating significant
wage reductions, deferring aircraft deliveries, streamlining operations, and improving productivity.
While conditions have improved and the overall financial outlook is guardedly optimistic, massive
debt levels, large unfunded pension obligations, and age of aircraft fleets leave the industry
vulnerable to fuel spikes, recession, or other factors beyond the airlines’ control.
The way airlines do business has dramatically changed over the last five years. Faced with the
growth of low-cost airlines and evolving business technology, U.S. legacy airlines have been forced
to change business practices. Carriers that once structured their services around the business traveler
during the economic boom in the 1990s found that more and more businesses were either switching
to low-cost carriers or significantly reducing or eliminating business travel. U.S. legacy carriers
6

November 30, 2007
Okaloosa County
were therefore forced to reduce, eliminate, or switch service to smaller regional jets on unprofitable
routes, reduce work force and implement pay cuts, and reduce fares in order to compete with lowcost carriers.
A major tangible change in the airline industry has been the significantly increased use of smaller,
regional jets. According to Official Airline Guide data, scheduled flights on regional jets nationwide
increased from an average of 85,300 monthly departures in 2000 to 271,100 in 2006, a compounded
annual growth rate of 21.3 percent during this period. Scheduled regional jet traffic nationwide
accounted for approximately 33 percent of scheduled domestic flights in 2006, compared to
approximately 10 percent in 2000.
Most industries have one or more of three inherent structural weaknesses: labor intensive, capital
intensive, and/or vulnerability to cost and supply of a key commodity (e.g., aviation fuel). Airlines
have all three weaknesses. As indicated above, four of the six U.S. legacy carriers have undergone
reorganization under Chapter 11 since the events of September 11. Chapter 11 protection enables
these carriers the ability to pursue cuts in wages, as well as pension and health benefits for workers
and retirees. American and Continental are the two U.S. legacy carriers that have not filed for
bankruptcy protection since the events of September 11, which may or may not become an issue
during the projection period.
3.6.3
Factors Directly Affecting the Airline Industry
3.6.3.1
Cost of Aviation Fuel
As industry fundamentals go, the price of fuel is the most significant force affecting the industry
today. With the price of fuel today, compared to the price of fuel in 2000, the airlines are struggling
to make a profit. The average price of jet fuel was $0.81 per gallon in 2000 compared to $1.97 in
2006. According to the Air Transport Association, every one-cent increase in the price per gallon
increases annual airline operating expenses by approximately $190 million to $200 million.
Also according to the Air Transport Association, U.S. airline fuel expense increased from $16.4 billion in
2000 to $38.0 billion in 2006, a compounded annual growth rate of 15.0 percent during this period. The
airline industry paid $7.5 billion more for fuel in 2004 than in 2003, $10.4 billion in 2005 than in 2004,
and $4.9 billion more in 2006 than in 2005. According to the Air Transport Association’s airline cost
index for the third quarter of 2006, fuel has overtaken labor as the industry’s top cost (27.4 percent of
industry expenditures compared to 23.6 percent, respectively).
The price of jet fuel has forced some airlines to find ways of becoming more fuel efficient, and some
airlines have found ways to save millions of dollars by taking many steps including using newer,
more fuel-efficient airplanes, using only a single engine for taxi, lowering cruise speeds, onboard
weight reduction, more direct routes, and other measures. In the initial years following the events of
September 11 and the nationwide economic slowdown, some U.S. airlines attempted to pass the
higher fuel costs on to consumers by increasing the fuel surcharge; however, some of these attempts
were unsuccessful as many airlines, particularly low-cost carriers, refused to match the increase in a
number of instances.
Airlines have hedged fuel prices through the purchase of oil futures contracts; however, the amount
of hedged fuel cost has varied tremendously by airline and is limited by an individual airline’s
financial condition. The substantial increase in fuel prices has had a significant impact on
profitability and future increases or sustained higher prices could affect airfares and airline service.
B-53
November 30, 2007

3.6.3.2
Airport Security
With enactment of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA) in November 2001, the
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was created, which established different and improved
security processes and procedures. The ATSA mandates certain individual, cargo and baggage
screening requirements, security awareness programs for airport personnel and deployment of
explosive detection devices. The act also permits the deployment of air marshals on all flights and
requires air marshals on all "high-risk" flights. To finance these federal security services, the ATSA
provides for payment by the airlines of approximately $700 million, estimated to be the cost of
providing such services prior to the events of September 11, and imposes a passenger fee of $2.50 for
each flight segment, not to exceed $5.00 per one-way trip.
In November 2002, Congress enacted the Homeland Security Act, which created the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) to accomplish several primary goals: (1) prevent terrorist attacks within
the United States, (2) reduce the nation’s vulnerability to terrorism, (3) minimize the damage of and
assist in the recovery from terrorist attacks that do occur, (4) and monitor connections between illegal
drug trafficking and terrorism and coordinate efforts to sever such connections. The TSA is now a
part of the DHS.
The Homeland Security Act extended the federal government’s guarantee of war-risk insurance to airlines
through February 15, 2007, which was further extended by the Secretary of Transportation through
December 31, 2007. The Homeland Security Act caps the total premium paid by any airline for war-risk
insurance at no more than twice the premium the airline was paying the U.S. DOT for its third-party
policy as of June 19, 2002. The Homeland Security Act also requires that carriers include methods of
self-defense within their security training programs for flight attendants. The Act also requires DHS to
establish a program for arming pilots, though participation in the program remains voluntary.
3.6.3.3
Threat of Terrorism
As has been the case since September 11, the recurrence of terrorism incidents against either
domestic or world aviation during the projection period remains a risk to achieving the activity
projections contained herein. Tighter security measures have restored the public’s confidence in the
integrity of U.S. and world aviation security systems. Any terrorist incident aimed at aviation would
have an immediate and significant impact on the demand for aviation services.
3.6.3.4
Impact of the Airline Industry on the Airport
Continued increases to the cost of aviation fuel and/or an aviation-related terrorist incident during the
projection period would negatively impact activity at the Airport, as higher fuel prices may hasten
the need for certain carriers serving the Airport to seek bankruptcy court protection. An aviationrelated terrorist incident would further erode the health of the aviation industry and require the
airlines to refine their business plans further to remain viable, which certain airlines may not be able
to implement to survive.
3.7
Projections of Aviation Demand
Projections of aviation demand were analyzed on the basis of local socioeconomic and demographic
factors, the Airport’s historical shares of U.S. enplanements, and anticipated trends in air carrier
usage of the Airport.
B-54
November 30, 2007
Okaloosa County
In developing the projections of enplaned passengers at the Airport, two methodologies were
utilized:
x
Market Share Approach. In this methodology, judgments are made as to how and to what
extent the Airport’s rate of growth in domestic enplanements will differ from that projected
for the nation by the FAA. On a macro scale, the U.S. projection provides a growth base
reflecting how industry traffic in general is anticipated to grow in the future. The growth rate
used for the Airport can be reflected as an increase or decrease in its future share of the
market.
x
Socioeconomic Regression Approach. Statistical linear regression modeling is used in this
methodology, with local socioeconomic factors as the independent variable and enplaned
passengers as the dependent variable. Socioeconomic factors utilized in these analyses
included population, income, and employment. Of interest in the analyses, among other factors,
was how well each socioeconomic variable explained the annual variations in enplaned
passengers at the Airport (i.e., the model’s correlation coefficient). Historical activity by AirTran
was omitted from the modeling process to prevent the resultant model projections from being
biased upwards.
The projections are based on a number of underlying assumptions, including:
9
x
The Airport will continue its role of serving primarily O&D passengers and providing
nonstop service to major hub airport systems. In addition, the Airport will continue to serve
primarily medium-haul markets.
x
Low-cost carriers will not initiate service at the Airport or the new Panama City airport during the
projection period. As such, long-term growth at the Airport will be influenced more by local
socioeconomic growth rather than a stimulation or diversion of traffic demand generated by low
fares.
x
Leakage of Airport passenger traffic from Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, and Walton counties
that occurred from AirTran moving its base of activity in the region to Pensacola will remain
at current levels.
x
Service levels at the new Panama City airport will not be significantly different from the
current levels. Although some diversion of local O&D traffic may occur from the Airport to
the new Panama City airport, especially those air travelers residing in eastern Okaloosa
County, it will not materially affect long-term passenger demand at the Airport.
x
Eglin Air Force Base’s operations will maintain its status quo during the projection period,
thereby continuing to provide air travel demand from this sector. 9 Established air travel
contracts and pricing at the Airport for military personnel and their dependents will remain in
place during the projection period.
x
Military aircraft activity levels during the projection period will not prohibit the commercial
airlines from increasing their aircraft activity to meet future passenger demand at the Airport.
In its final report to Congress, the U.S. Department of Defense recommended personnel and mission
realignments to Eglin Air Force Base that will result in an estimated $300 million in new construction and the
addition of approximately 6,000 military and civilian personnel to the base by 2010.

x
Continued high fuel prices in the short term will likely have an adverse impact on airline
profitability, as well as hamper the recovery plans and cost-cutting efforts of certain airlines.
Higher fuel prices may cause changes in air service at the Airport; however, the passenger
demand for its major O&D markets will continue to be served during the projection period.
x
Airline consolidation/mergers that may occur during the projection period are not likely to
negatively impact passenger activity levels at the Airport due to its high percentage of O&D
passengers. New airline alliances, should they develop, will be restricted to code sharing and
joint frequent flyer programs, and will not reduce airline competition at the Airport.
x
For these analyses, and similar to the FAA's nationwide projections, it is assumed that there
will not be terrorist incidents against either domestic or world aviation during the projection
period.
x
Economic disturbances will occur during the projection period causing year-to-year traffic
variations; however, a long-term increase in nationwide traffic is expected to occur
(compounded annual growth rate of 3.3 percent between 2006 and 2016, as projected by the
FAA). 10
Many of the factors influencing aviation demand cannot necessarily or readily be quantified; and any
projection is subject to uncertainties. As a result, the projection process should not be viewed as
precise. Actual future traffic levels at the Airport may differ from projections presented herein
because events and circumstances do not occur as expected, and these differences may be material.
3.7.1
Enplanement Projections
Table III-12 presents historical and projected enplanements for the Airport’s majors/nationals and
regional/commuters. Based on 11 months of actual data and one month of scheduled data,
major/national activity is expected to further decrease in FY 2007 from FY 2006 levels, as Delta
continues to limit its mainline service at the Airport and shift more activity to its regional affiliates.
As a result, major/national enplanements are projected to decrease 13.1 percent in FY 2007 from FY
2006 levels, while regional/commuter enplanements are projected to increase 26.4 percent during this
same period. The overall impact is a 7.8 percent increase in total passenger enplanements at the
Airport in FY 2007. Thereafter, total enplanements are projected to increase from 399,600 in FY
2007 to 514,300 in FY 2016. This increase represents a compounded annual growth rate of 2.8
percent during this period, compared to the 3.3 percent growth projected nationwide by the FAA. As
also shown, major/national and regional/commuter enplanements are expected to increase at a
compounded annual growth rate of 2.2 and 3.2 percent, respectively, between FY 2007 and FY 2016.
It is anticipated that Delta’s mainline service will increase in the long term from its base level
projected in FY 2007; however, it will not increase at as high a rate experienced between FY 2002
and FY 2005. The regionals/commuters’ share of total enplanements at the Airport is expected to
increase slightly from approximately 62 percent in FY 2007 to approximately 64 percent in FY 2002.
3.7.2
Commercial Airline Operations Projections
Table III-13 presents historical and projected commercial airline operations at the Airport. As
shown, passenger airline activity is projected to increase from 14,690 operations in FY 2006 to
16,200 in FY 2007, and then to 19,180 in FY 2016. This increase represents a compounded annual

growth rate of 1.9 percent during this latter period, compared to 2.2 percent projected nationwide for
air carriers and air taxis combined by the FAA. In general, the passenger airline projections were
developed based on historical relationships between enplaned passengers, load factors, and average
seating capacities of aircraft utilized at the Airport. Specifically, average seats for the
majors/nationals are projected to increase slightly from approximately 120 seats in FY 2006 to
approximately 121 seats in FY 2007 (based on scheduled activity provided in the Official Airline
Guide), and then increase to approximately 123.5 seats by the end of the projection period.
Percentage load factors for this major user group are expected to range in the mid-70s during this
period, similar to that projected nationwide by the FAA. Average seats for the regionals/commuters
are projected to increase from approximately 45 seats in FY 2006 to approximately 52 seats in FY
2016, while percentage load factors stay range in the high 70s/low 80s. It is expected that some
shifting from the 50-seat regional jet to the 70-seat regional jet will occur during the projection
period.
3.7.3
Commercial Airline Landed Weight Projections
Table III-14 presents historical and projected commercial airline landed weight at the Airport. As
shown, passenger airline landed weight is projected to increase from 447.992 thousand pounds in FY
2006 to 468,663 thousand pounds in FY 2007, and then to 584.950 thousand pounds in FY 2016 (a
compounded annual growth rate of 2.5 percent during this latter period). In general, the increases in
landed weight are expected as a result of anticipated use of larger aircraft and/or increased operations
at the Airport during the projection period.

Airport Facilities and the Rental Car Industry
This section presents a review of existing Airport facilities, and facilities at the County’s two general
aviation airports, and provides a description of major projects included in the current capital
improvement program.
4.1
The Airport is a commercial service airport located on the northwest side of the airfield at Eglin Air
Force Base in northwest Florida. The Airport is located six miles northeast of Fort Walton Beach
and serves an area including Okaloosa County and portions of Santa Rosa and Walton Counties.
Okaloosa County manages the Airport, along with two other general aviation facilities, Bob Sikes
Airport and Destin/Ft. Walton Beach Airport. Vehicular access to the Airport is provided via State
Highway 85, a major roadway bisecting Eglin Air Force Base. From areas south and west, including
Fort Walton Beach and Destin, regional access to Highway 85 and the Airport is provided via
Highways 98 and 393. Fifteen miles to the north, Interstate 10 provides access to Highway 85 from
areas such as Panama City to the east and Pensacola to the west.
The Airport is one of 22 joint-use airports in the country. As a joint-us facility, a written agreement
between a military department, in this case the Air Force, and Okaloosa County authorizes use of the
military airfield facilities for a public airport. The Airport is one of 12 joint-use Air Force facilities
in the country, there are nine army joint-use facilities and one navy facility. The County leases land
from the Air Force on which the Airport’s terminal and ancillary facilities are located, and pays
additional fees based on the number of civilian operations occurring on the airfield.
Following the completion of the Airport’s 1998 master plan and based on recommendations therein,
the Airport began the planning, design, and construction of a new terminal facility. At that time, the
age and condition of the Airport’s existing 38,000 square foot terminal building, and the increasing
passenger levels accommodated by the Airport, dictated the need for a larger, more modern facility.
Existing Airport facilities are illustrated in Exhibit IV-1 and can be summarized as follows:
x
Airfield Facilities. The airfield facilities at the Airport (the “Airfield”) consist of two
precision instrument runways, Runway 12/30 and Runway 1/19, together with associated
taxiways, aircraft parking aprons and an Air Force air traffic control tower. Runway 12/30 is
12,005 feet long and Runway 1/19 is 10,012 feet long and both are equipped with high
intensity runway edge lighting with sequenced flashers located on each end of the runways.
Both runways are available to the County based on the Joint Use Agreement. With the
exception of the civilian aircraft Taxiways D-1 and D-2 and the terminal apron, all airside
facilities are maintained by the Air Force. Taxiways D-1 and D-2 are parallel taxiways
providing access from the terminal aircraft parking apron to Runway 12/30 and its northern
parallel taxiway. Both taxiways are equipped with medium intensity taxiway edge lighting.
The dual taxiway system provides for the ability to operate simultaneous arriving and
departing operations without undue aircraft hindrance or delay.
x
Terminal Facilities. The new two-story terminal facility, with an area of approximately
110,000 square feet, opened on November 14, 2004. The new terminal includes three
passenger loading bridges on the upper-level east side of the concourse and three regional jet
gate areas on the lower-level west side. In addition to areas for airlines, the new terminal

includes areas for five rental car operators, limited space for the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA), and the Airport’s administration and maintenance departments. The
terminal building was designed and constructed in a manner that will allow it to
accommodate expansion needs, including extension of the concourse, should the need arise.
x
Rental Car Areas. There are currently five rental car companies operating on-site at the
Airport. Each company currently leases rental car counter and office space totaling
approximately 750 square feet in the passenger terminal to support their on-Airport
operations. The on-site manager and other staff generally share these offices.
The rental car companies share a consolidated service facility located west of the passenger
terminal building. The existing consolidated service facility consists of a paved area covered
by a metal roof structure that is portioned into six bays. Each bay consists of a fuel pump,
water hose connections, vacuums, and miscellaneous wash equipment. Vehicles are fueled
and then hand washed prior to being rented to a new customer. Current industry standard is
the use of automated car wash facilities which provide greater efficiency in the rental car
service process and reduce environmental impacts. The construction of new rental car
service facilities on an area located on the east side of the passenger terminal is a key
component of the Series 2007 Project. Included in this project is the construction of
office/storage areas, vehicle maintenance areas, a five-bay consolidated car wash building, a
consolidated fueling facility, and vehicle storage areas for each rental car operator.
The Airport’s primary ready/return areas, Ready Area A and Ready Area B, are located west and
east of the terminal building, respectively. Each of these are paved lots. Ready Area A contains
a total of 286 parking spaces and Ready Area B provides 164 spaces. An additional ready space
area provides 282 parking spaces for vehicle storage. On an annual basis, rental car operators are
allocated ready/return spaces in these areas based on their market share at the Airport.
x
Public/Employee Parking. Existing public and employee parking facilities at the Airport
comprise a total of approximately 1,910 vehicle parking spaces. Existing parking facilities
and their respective capacities are summarized as follows:
- Long Term - 795 total spaces including 16 reserved for handicap use
- Short Term - 207 total spaces including 6 reserved for handicap use
- Employee Lot - 542 spaces including 12 reserved for handicap use
- Reserved - 30 spaces including 2 reserved for handicap use
- Overflow - 338 spaces including 8 reserved for handicap use
The reserved parking area will likely be converted to short-term paid parking under an anticipated
new parking management or operation contract. The overflow lot is used for public parking
during holiday peak seasons. During the remainder of the year, the majority of spaces in the
overflow lot are leased to the rental car companies and used for vehicle storage.
x
Fuel Facility. The Airport’s fuel farm is currently located on the west side of the terminal
apron. Three aboveground storage tanks, including two 20,000-gallon JetA fuel tanks and
one 3,000-gallon tank used for unleaded automotive gasoline, are located within the facility.
The facility is covered with a metal roof and has a concrete containment area to contain
potential fuel leaks. The tanks are connected via galvanized steel pipes to the delivery
system. An emergency shutoff switch is located on the northeast side of the fuel farm. The
B-63
November 30, 2007
Okaloosa County
construction of a relocated fuel farm is planned and the rental car component of that project is
included of the Series 2007 Project. The relocation of aviation fueling facilities is not
included in the project nor are the costs of that project. The cost of dismantling and
removing the existing fuel facility is included in the Series 2007 Project cost.
x
4.2
Support Facilities. The Baldwin Building, located east of the terminal building, houses key
component of the Airport’s electrical and communications infrastructure. Additionally, it
provides limited storage capability. The Airport maintenance department, responsible for
maintaining County-owned buildings, grounds, and apron areas, currently utilizes multiple
locations for storage of supplies and equipment. The department currently lacks a dedicated
shop area, which could be used for vehicle maintenance, minor carpentry projects, and
miscellaneous equipment repairs.
However, the County anticipates beginning the
construction of a new maintenance facility that can accommodate such activities in FY 2008.
Other Airports
In addition to the Airport, the County also owns and operates two general aviation facilities, Bob
Sikes Airport and Destin/Ft. Walton Beach Airport.
x
Bob Sikes Airport. Bob Sikes Airport is located northeast of the City of Crestview and is
approximately 18 miles north of the Airport. It is a public-use airport accommodating
general aviation, corporate aviation, air taxi, and some military operations. Runway 17/35 at
Bob Sikes Airport has a length 8,005 feet, width of 150 feet, and has precision instrument
approach capabilities. Approximately 50 aircraft are based at Bob Sikes Airport and a full
service fixed base operator (FBO), Sunshine Aero, supports local and transient operators.
x
Destin/Ft. Walton Beach Airport.
Destin/Ft. Walton Beach Airport is located
approximately 6 miles southeast of the Airport. The public use general aviation airport has a
4,999-foot runway and is supported by non-precision instrument approaches. Approximately
75 aircraft are based at Destin/Ft/ Walton Beach Airport, and the airport’s FBO, Miracle
Strip Aviation, provides fueling and aircraft parking services to local and itinerant operators.
Facilities are currently under construction for a second FBO.
4.3
Capital Improvement Program
The 2007 Project was summarily described in Chapter 1 of this report. Table IV-1 presents
components of the 2007 Project and estimated costs. Key project components include access
improvements, site development, and utilities for the site; the construction of rental car lots,
roadways, and service facility buildings; and fuel farm improvements. Total 2007 Project cost is
currently estimated to be approximately $13.2 million. Approximately $5.8 million in funding is
anticipated from federal Military Airport Program (MAP) grants, Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) grants and Florida Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) funds, and accumulated
CFC collections. Table IV-2 summarizes the anticipated sources of funds for the 2007 Project. As
shown in Table IV-2, the remaining portion of estimated project costs, approximately $7.4 million, is
anticipated to be funded by the proceeds of the Series 2007 Bonds.
In addition to the 2007 Project, there are a number of other projects included in the FY 2007 through
FY 2012 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) that are planned to be undertaken by the County. The
CIP is presented in Table IV-3 and includes projects anticipated to be undertaken by the County at
the Airport and the two general aviation airports that it operates, Destin/Ft. Walton Beach and Bob
Sikes. These other projects total approximately $27.1 million over the five-year period FY 2007

The County intends to utilize draws from its commercial paper program to provide interim financing for project costs in FY 2008 and FY 2009. Commercial paper principal and interest is assumed to be paid
from the Airports General Purpose Fund assuming an all-in interest rate of 4.5 percent and a 10-year principal amortization period starting in FY 2010. The Airport is seeking approval to use a portion of future
PFC collections to pay commecial paper principal and interest which may reduce the amount of funding required from the Airports General Purpose Fund.

through FY 2012. Funding sources for these other projects do not include any proceeds from the
issuance of the Series 2007 Bonds or proceeds from the issuance of any additional bonds. The
County is participating in a commercial paper program and intends to use a total of approximately
$2.0 million in commercial paper proceeds to fund a portion of project costs in FY 2008 and FY
2009. Future commercial paper debt service payments are subordinate to Series 2003 and Series
2007 debt service payments and are assumed to be paid from Airport Revenues transferred to the
Subordinated Indebtedness Fund. Commercial paper debt service payments are estimated assuming a
4.5 percent all-in interest cost and a 10-year principal amortization period starting in FY 2010.
The future capital projects depicted in the CIP include long-term development plans for each of the
County’s airports. The Airport will only proceed with those projects for which actual demand
materializes and not until such time as adequate funding, including federal and state grants, becomes
available. Furthermore, major future capital projects will likely be the subject of additional
feasibility studies and analysis of the Airport’s ability to maintain its debt service rate covenant and
the Airport’s overall financial situation.
Estimated CIP costs at system airports and major projects included therein can be summarized as
follows:
x
The Airport. Excluding the 2007 Project, the Airport’s CIP is comprised of projects totaling
approximately $11.3 million. These projects include the relocation of the aviation fuel farm,
construction of a cargo/maintenance building, design of terminal/concourse expansions, and
ground access improvements
x
Destin/Ft. Walton Beach Airport. No major capital projects are currently planned at
Destin/Ft. Walton Beach Airport.
x
Bob Sikes Airport. Projects identified in the CIP for Bob Sikes Airport include a multi-year
rehabilitation of runway 17/35, and hangar infrastructure and apron development projects.
The total cost of these projects is approximately $15.4 million.
In addition, the County is undertaking master plan updates at each system airport, the total combined
project cost of these master plans is approximately $433,000. Detailed capital programs beyond FY
2012 have not been developed by the County. Long-term capital programs at the County’s airports
will likely be influenced by the findings of master plan updates currently being undertaken for the
Airport, Destin/Fort Walton Beach Airport, and Bob Sikes Airport. For the purposes of the financial
analysis, it is assumed that the County will undertake capital projects that require approximately
$500,000 of County funds annually for FY 2012 through FY 2016.
4.4
Rental Car Industry
A primary component of the 2007 Project is the development of new rental car service facilities and a
key funding source for the debt service and other costs associated with the project is anticipated to be
CFCs collected by rental car operators. As discussed in more detail in Chapter V of this report, the
number of rental car transaction days at the Airport, or the total number of days cars are rented for all
rental car transactions, is the basis for CFC collections and is related to passenger levels at the
Airport.
Therefore, this section presents an overview of the rental car industry, a description of recent trends and
events occurring in the rental car industry nationwide, a review of the local rental car market.

4.4.1
Industry Overview
The U.S. rental car industry is comprised of two basic components, the airport market and the local
insurance/replacement market. The airport market generally consists of business and leisure air
travelers who rent cars at airports for ground transportation to their destinations. Following declines
after the events of September 11 and the ensuing economic slowdown, the U.S. rental car market has
rebounded and, based on Auto Rental News statistics, total rental car industry revenues have
increased in each year since 2002. Exhibit IV-2 presents historical U.S. rental car industry gross
sales.
4.4.2
Major Rental Car Companies
As shown in Table IV-4, Enterprise has the largest share (34.9 percent) of the total U.S. rental car
market with approximately $7.0 billion of gross sales for CY 2006 due in large part to its dominance
of the insurance/car replacement market. Enterprise has begun to increase its focus at airport markets
and is the fastest-growing rental car company in the airport segment, having grown from one onairport location in 1995 to more than 200 currently. Enterprise opened 39 on-airport locations in the
last year and continues to add two to three on-airport locations each month. In 2006, Enterprise
ranked highest in the J.D. Power and Associates Rental Car Satisfaction Study for airport car rentals. In
March 2007, Enterprise entered into a definitive agreement to purchase Vanguard and the transaction
closed on August 1, 2007.
Currently, six major rental car companies dominate the U.S. rental car market: Avis, Budget,
Dollar/Thrifty, Enterprise, Hertz, and Vanguard. As reflected in Table IV-4, these six companies
accounted for 93.4 percent of total U.S. rental car market gross revenues in CY 2006.
Several ownership changes occurred in the late 1990s due, in large part, to the actions of the major U.S.
automakers. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, most rental car companies were owned by automobile
manufacturers and used as an outlet for unsold automobiles. As a result, rental car agencies were able to
purchase automobiles with very favorable terms. By the mid 1990s, however, the automobile
industry’s financial condition improved, and the need to sell excess car inventories to the rental car
industry diminished. As a result, most of the major automobile manufacturers divested themselves from
rental car companies in the late 1990s. By 1997, nearly all major rental car companies were publicly
traded. As the rental car companies became stand-alone businesses, their profit margins became thinner
in part because the cost of supplying automobile fleets increased.
By the year 2000, Hertz had been purchased by the Ford Motor Company; Avis was purchased by
the Cendant Corporation; Alamo and National were spun off and became a publicly traded company
known as ANC Rental Corporation. Significant changes in ownership have occurred in the rental car
industry since CY 2002. Several companies have undergone a change in controlling ownership
following bankruptcy proceedings. In CY 2002, the ANC Rental Corporation (ANC) (the parent
company of Alamo and National) filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code. In that same year, Budget Rent A Car filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and was subsequently
purchased by the Cendant Car Rental Group (the parent company of Avis).
In CY 2003, Cerberus Capital Management bought ANC and the corporate name of ANC has since
been changed to Vanguard Car Rental USA, Inc. In December 2005, Hertz was acquired by three
leading private equity investment companies: Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, The Carlyle Group, and
Merrill Lynch Global Private Equity. Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group (DTAG), the parent
company of Dollar and Thrifty, became publicly traded after being spun off by its former parent, the

Chrysler Corporation. DTAG then transformed Thrifty from an off-airport, franchisee-operated
brand, to an on-airport, corporately-operated brand. Amid all this turmoil and chaos, Enterprise,
which remains privately held, has grown to become the largest rental car company in the world.
Recent months have seen the industry undergo a series of yet more ownership and structural
transformations. Hertz was sold to a private investor group that subsequently announced its intent to
take the company public. Cendant Corporation broke itself apart with Avis/Budget Group now a
separate, publicly traded company. On August 1, 2007, Enterprise purchased Vanguard.
As of the date of this report, the Avis and Budget brands are owned and operated by one company,
Avis/Budget Group; the Dollar and Thrifty brands are owned and operated by one company, DTAG;
and the Alamo and National brands are owned and operated by one company, Vanguard, which was
purchased by Enterprise. Vanguard will continue to operate as an independent subsidiary of
Enterprise. In general, the rental car companies have maintained brand separate identities for their
respective brands, but have undertaken vigorous measures to cut costs by consolidating fleets,
pooling employees, and consolidating redundant facilities and rental locations.
These events indicate that the rental car industry is attempting to adjust to new market conditions.
However, the U.S. airport rental car market has generally followed airline passenger activity and this
relationship should continue even with restructuring within the industry. While the market shares of
the individual rental car companies may change, a significant percentage of the total U.S. airport
rental car market will continue to grow or shrink primarily as a function of airline passenger activity.
The FAA has projected 3.4 percent compounded annual growth in domestic U.S. enplanements
between FY 2006 and FY 2020.
4.4.3
Rental Car Industry Trends
As shown on Exhibit IV-2, total U.S. rental car gross sales have grown steadily since CY 2002, with
7.2 percent growth in both CY 2004 and CY 2005 and 6.2 percent growth in CY 2006, as both
nationwide enplaned passenger levels and local/insurance replacement market activity have increased
in recent years. The decreases in total U.S. rental car gross sales in CY 2001 and CY 2002 are
primarily attributable to the downturn in the economy (beginning as early as CY 2000) and the
downturn in airline passenger activity nationwide following the events of September 11.
U.S. airport rental car markets generally experienced declines in rental car gross sales, transactions,
and transaction days following the downturn in the economy and the events of September 11. In
recent years, key rental car activity trends at the Airport (and a number of other U.S. airports) have
reversed, illustrated by the growth in rental car transaction days at the Airport from approximately
322,300 transaction days in FY 2002 to approximately 349,500 transaction days in FY 2006.
4.4.4
Consolidated Rental Car Facilities
As airline passenger activity grew in the 1990s, so did airport landside congestion. Remote
consolidated rental car facilities became a popular means for airport operators to address this
congestion problem. Instead of each rental car company having its own shuttle bus system to
transport customers to and from individual remote sites, a consolidated facility brings all the onairport rental car companies together at a single location. A single transit system, typically a bus
system, transports rental car customers to and from the terminal.
B-72
November 30, 2007
Okaloosa County
The first consolidated rental car facilities in the U.S. were completed in the late 1990s. Typically,
but not in the case of the 2007 Project at the Airport, the primary source of funding for these facilities
has been special facility bonds backed by a CFC, which is a fee imposed by an airport upon the
customers of the rental car companies to fund a portion of the costs of these facilities. As previously
mentioned, these fees are typically based on rental car transaction days, although some CFCs are
charged on a per-contract basis.
The 2007 Project includes the construction of new rental car service facilities in an area east of the
passenger terminal building. Upon completion of the 2007 Project, facilities used in common with
other rental car operators at the Airport will include the new fueling facility, the fuel storage facility,
a five-bay rental car service building, and a consolidated car wash building. Each of the five onairport rental car operators will lease on a preferential basis separate office areas,
service/maintenance facilities, and parking areas. Due to the relatively proximate location of existing
rental car facilities to the Terminal Building, and to an even greater degree with the facilities
resulting from the 2007 Project, no bus system is required to serve rental car customers at the
Airport.
4.4.5
Airport Taxes and Surcharges
Taxes and surcharges received considerable attention from the rental car industry during the 1990s,
both in terms of opposition of new taxes to pay for non-rental car-related facilities (such as
convention centers and sports arenas) or promoting the pass through of charges (such as airport
concession fees) to their customers. In an industry that rarely can sustain rate increases, the passthrough movement began in the late 1990s as a result of car rental companies looking for innovative
ways to become more profitable. As a result, rental car companies began implementing passthroughs of concession fees, access fees, and state license and title fees.
Airports also began using CFCs to help pay for improvements to ground access and rental car
facilities, including in some cases consolidated rental car facilities and automated people movers.
The fees are typically charged on a per transaction day or per transaction basis and are passed
through to the customer. The County amended its CFC Ordinance on May 1, 2007, raising the CFC
level at the Airport from $2.50 to $3.25 per rental transaction day. The new CFC level was imposed
on rental car customers’ rental agreements at the Airport starting July 1, 2007. Table IV-5 presents a
comparison of other U.S. airports charging CFCs on a per transaction day basis. The Airport’s $3.25
per transaction day CFC is lower than the current maximum transaction day CFC for all airports
included in the comparison and falls between the mean and the median per transaction day CFC at
airports in the Southeast. Pensacola Regional Airport, located approximately 50 miles west of the
Airport, currently imposes a $3.60 per transaction day CFC and is included in the survey results
summarized in Table IV-5.
4.4.6
Rental Car Market at the Airport
The Airport is currently provided rental car service by five companies that have concession and rental
agreements with the County. The concession agreement was competitively bid in FY 2005 and the
new agreement was in place for the majority of FY 2006. Avis, Budget, Hertz, and Vanguard (operating
as Alamo and National) are corporate operations at the Airport while Dollar/Thrifty is a franchise
operated by LaGrange Aero, Inc.

Enterprise is an off-Airport operator that does not currently lease Airport facilities. As an off-Airport
operator that does not use rental car support facilities at the Airport, Enterprise is not currently
required to collect or submit CFCs for customers that it serves via the Airport. Similar to the onairport operators, it is required to pay a monthly commission of 10 percent of commissionable
revenues to the Airport based revenues earned from its Airport customers. The recent purchase of
Vanguard by Enterprise is not anticipated to negatively impact rental car activity or CFC collections
at the Airport. It is assumed that Enterprise will continue to operate off-Airport and Alamo/National
will continue as an on-Airport operator.
Historical rental car activity is used in Chapter V of this report to develop future projections of onAirport rental car activity, including rental car transaction days and CFC collections.

Financial Analysis
This chapter examines the financial structure of the Airport, cost and financial implications of the
2007 Project, operating expense and revenue projections, reserve requirements established under the
Master Indenture of Trust, dated August 1, 2003, and subsequent supplements thereto (hereinafter
referred to as the “Indenture”), and the rate covenant requirement following completion of the 2007
Project.
5.1
Governing Body
The Airport and the general aviation airports, Destin-Ft. Walton Beach Airport and the Bob Sikes
Airport are owned and operated by the County. The County is a political subdivision of the State of
Florida and is governed by an elected five-member Board of County Commissioners (Board). Each
Commissioner is elected for a four-year term of office. The Board appoints a County Administrator
to administer the County’s programs. The Airports Director reports to the County Administrator.
The County funds operations and capital improvements within the Airport System with revenues
generated from rentals, fees and charges; PFC Revenues; customer facility charge revenues; and
federal grants-in-aid. The County maintains its financial records in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles as they apply to government entities.
5.2
Financial Structure
This section discusses the requirements of the Indenture, key components of the Department of the
Air Force Property Lease, key components of the Eglin Air Force Base Joint-use Agreement, the cost
centers that the County utilizes for the purposes of accounting for revenues, operating expenses,
amortization, and debt service, and the Signatory Airline Operating Agreement and Terminal
Building Lease (Airline Agreement).
5.2.1
Indenture
The financial operation of the Airport System will be governed primarily by the Indenture and the
Airline Agreement. The Indenture provides conditions for the issuance of the Series 2007 Bonds and
the application of Airport System Revenues, as defined therein, to the payment of operating expenses
and debt service.
The Indenture defines Airport System “Revenues” to mean all income and revenues received or
accrued by the County in connection with the ownership, operation or use of, or with respect to the
Airport System including, but not limited to, (a) rentals, fees, and other charges for the use of or with
respect to the Airport System, and (b) proceeds of business interruption insurance, and any such other
moneys designated as Revenues pursuant to the terms of a Supplemental Indenture; provided,
however, that Revenues shall not include (A) interest income on, and any profit realized from, the
investment of moneys in any Fund or Account to the extent that such income or profit is not

Rate Covenant
The County covenants in Section 705 of the Indenture to fix and adjust rentals, fees, and other
charges for the use of the Airport System so as to produce Amounts Available to Pay Debt Service to
provide for the greater of either (1) the amounts needed for making the required deposits in the Fiscal
Year to the Debt Service Fund, the Debt Service Reserve Fund, the O&M Reserve Fund, the Repair
and Rehabilitation Fund, and the Subordinated Indebtedness Fund; or (2) an amount not less than 125

Pursuant to the terms of the Supplemental Indenture for the Series 2007 Bonds, the County will establish
in the Customer Facility Charge Fund, a 2007 Pledged CFC Account and a 2007 CFC Coverage Subaccount. CFC Revenue shall be transferred into the 2007 Pledged CFC Account until, in each month,
the amount on deposit in the 2007 Pledged CFC Account equals the CFC Debt Service on the 2007 Bonds
for such month. CFC Debt Service is the amount of debt service eligible to be paid with CFC Revenues.
That amount is currently estimated at 100 percent of Series 2007 debt service. CFC Revenue will be
deposited into the 2007 CFC Coverage Sub-account in the amount necessary to maintain therein the 2007
CFC Coverage Amount (25 percent of the CFC Debt Service on the Series 2007 Bonds during any Fiscal
Year).
PFC Revenues are available only to pay debt service on the County’s Airport Revenue Bonds, Series
2003 (AMT) and other identified purposes. Pledged CFC Revenues are available only to pay debt service
on the 2007 Bonds and other identified purposes.
5.2.2
Key Provisions of the Department of the Air Force Property Lease
The County leases certain property form the Eglin Air Force Base for the purposes of constructing,
operating and maintaining the Airport and related facilities. On July 30, 2007, the County executed a
25-year lease with the United States Air Force that leases to the County approximately 131 acres of
land located on the Eglin Air Force Base (the “Property Lease”). The July 30, 2007 lease replaces a
prior 30-year lease that the County had executed with the Air Force on February 27, 2001. The
purpose of the new lease is to expand the County’s leasehold from the 108.23 acres that was included
in the prior lease to support the 2007 Project, among others. The sole purposes for which the leased
land may be used, in the absence of prior written approval of the United States government for any
other use, is for the construction, operation, and maintenance of an airport terminal and directly
related facilities; and the construction, development, operation, and maintenance of a fuel farm along
with secure access and support facilities for rental car agencies.
As part of the Property Lease, the County and the Air Force signed an Environmental Condition
Report (“ECR”) setting forth those environmental conditions and matters on and affecting the Leased
Premises on the commencement date of the Lease. At the expiration or earlier termination of the
Property Lease, an updated ECR will be prepared to document the environmental conditions and
matters on and affecting the Leased Premises on the ending date of the Lease. In accordance with the
Environmental Baseline Survey conducted dated November 2005 and a Final Environmental
Assessment dated June 2006, the leased site appears to be free of any contamination.
The Property Lease also provided for a Physical Condition Report (“PCR”) prepared by the
Department of the Air Force 10 days after the execution date of the Property Lease. The PCR set
forth the agreed physical appearance and condition of the Lease Premises as of the commencement
date of the Property Lease as determined by a joint inspection by the Department of the Air Force
and the County. At the expiration or earlier termination of the Property Lease, an updated PCR will
be prepared to document the appearance and physical conditions of the Leased premises on the
ending date of the Property Lease. In accordance with a joint survey of the property, the County and
the Air Force concluded and documented that the leased premises is in excellent condition.
In accordance with the terms of the current Lease, the County is scheduled to pay the Department of
the Air Force $318,000 in FY 2008, the first year of payment under the new Property Lease. For
each year thereafter, the annual amount will be escalated at 3 percent per year.
B-80
November 30, 2007
Okaloosa County
In accordance with the terms of the Lease the Eglin Commander must approve all County plans for
any construction, installation, modifications, alterations, or additions to the Airport before
construction is started, and all construction must be in accordance with approved design and plans
with no expense to the government. The Commander has approved the 2007 Project and has
approved a concurrent project, the construction of a replacement Airport maintenance and cargo
building.
The Lease may be suspended or terminated by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force at any
time during any national emergency, present or future, declared by the President or the Congress of
the United States, or after a written determination of the Secretary of the Air force that paramount
military necessity at Elgin requires such suspension or termination.
5.2.3
Key Provisions of the Eglin Air Force Base Joint-Use Agreement
The Joint-Use Agreement became effective February 27, 2001 and will remain effective for 30 years,
unless otherwise renegotiated or terminated. Furthermore, the Joint-Use Agreement shall not survive
the termination or expiration of the Property Lease. If significant changes in circumstance or
conditions relevant to the Joint-Use Agreement should occur, the Joint-Use Agreement states that the
Air Force and the County may enter into negotiations to revise the provisions of the Joint-Use
Agreement at any time.
The Joint-Use Agreement authorizes the County to permit civil aircraft equipped with two-way
radios capable of communicating with the Eglin Air Force Base Control tower to use the flying
facilities at Eglin, subject to certain operation limitations and subject to Government aircraft having
priority over all civil aircraft at all times. In accordance with the Joint-Use Agreement, civil aircraft
operations are limited to no more that 84 operations per day. An operation is defined as a landing or
a take-off. The current forecast of aircraft operations for the Forecast Period is not affected by this
limitation. The 2016 forecast projects that 48 air carrier operations per day will occur at the Airport,
up from approximately 42 air carrier operations in 2006. Operations limitations in the Joint-Use
agreement are not likely to negatively impact air carrier or other civilian aircraft activity at the
Airport during the projection period of this analysis.
For the purposes of reimbursing the Air Force for the County’s share of the cost of maintaining and
operating the flying facilities, the County agrees to pay the Government, with respect to civil aircraft
authorized to use the flying facilities, a fee based on the total actual number of yearly operations from
a low of 60 operations per day (21,900 operations per year) up to a maximum of 84 operations per day
(30,660 operations per year) in accordance with the payment schedule contained in the Joint-Use
Agreement. Under the payment schedule, the County will pay the Government $7.20 for each operation
occurring in FY 2007. This charge is adjusted each Fiscal Year for inflation, using the Office of the
Secretary of Defense Raw Inflation Indices. At the end of each five-year period during the term of the
Joint-Use Agreement, the charge per operations will be renegotiated. Annual payments are to be made 30
days after the end of the Federal Fiscal Year (September 30).
In accordance with the Joint-Use Agreement, the Air Force will provide fire, crash, and rescue
services involving civil aircraft outside any hangars or other structures within the limits of its existing
capabilities, equipment, and available personnel. The County agrees to reimburse the Air Force for
expenses incurred by the Air Force for fire fighting and/or crash and rescue materials expended in
connection with the providing of such services to civil aircraft. No County reimbursements have
been required since the execution of the Agreement.

included in another Airport Cost Center.
5.2.5
Airport Lease and Use Agreements
The provisions of the Airline Agreement commenced October 1, 2003 and unless terminated sooner,
shall expire on September 30, 2008. The Airline Agreement establishes ratemaking procedures for
the term of the agreement. For the purposes of the analyses contained herein, it is assumed that the
rate making procedures established in the existing Airline Agreement remain in effect through the
projection period. Atlantic Southeast, ExpressJet, Gulfstream, and Northwest have executed the
Airline Agreement and operate as signatory carriers at the Airport. Under provisions in the
agreement, Delta currently operates as an affiliate of Atlantic Southeast.
Pursuant to the terms of the Airline Agreement, the County calculates Airline Terminal rentals under
a compensatory approach with revenue sharing credits under which the Airlines pay for their specific
use of the Terminal Area. The calculation of Landing Fees is determined based on a residual
approach with revenue sharing credits. The Airline Agreement provides for the County to charge
those airlines not signatory to the Airline Agreement non-signatory rates and charges.
For each Fiscal Year the County Airport System Requirement, defined in the Airline Agreement as
operating expenses, capital outlays, debt service, amortization, coverage requirement, fund deposits
and certain other charges is determined and allocated to the County’s Direct and Indirect Cost
Centers discussed in Section 5.2.4 of this report in accordance with the County’s cost accounting and
cost allocation methodologies.
The net amount of the Airport System Requirement allocated to each of the two Indirect Cost Centers
is reallocated to Direct Cost Centers based on each Direct Cost Center’s proportionate share of the
direct Operating Expenses. The total amount of the Airport System Requirement allocated and
reallocated to the Terminal Area Cost Center is referred to as the Terminal Area Requirement. The
amount allocated and reallocated to the Airfield Area Cost Center is referred to as the Airfield Area
Requirement. In addition to determining the annual Terminal Area Requirement and Airfield Area
Requirement, the County also separately allocates and determines the annual Operating Expenses of
B-83
November 30, 2007
Okaloosa County
providing law enforcement assistance to the Airlines’ terminal facilities and functions (Security
Charges).
Calculation of Signatory Airlines rates and charges are described below.
5.2.5.1
Terminal Rentals
In accordance with the provisions of the Airline Agreement, the annual Terminal Building Rental Rates
are calculated as follows. The annual Terminal Area Requirement is reduced by the sum of applied
PFCs, investment income, transferred coverage, and reimbursements for loading bridges allocated to
the Terminal Area Cost Center to determine the Net Terminal Area Requirement.
The annual Terminal Building Rental Rate is calculated by dividing the Net Terminal Area
Requirement by the Rental Divisor for the Terminal Building. Rental Divisor is defined as space
within the Terminal Building made available by County for rental to airlines and other Airport
tenants plus space in the Terminal Building assigned to the Transportation Security Administration
(“TSA”).
Space in the new Terminal Building is leased to the Airlines on a Preferential Use, Common Use, or
Joint-Use basis. For Preferential Use space, each Airline pays the amount, which is the product of
the square footage of the Preferentially Leased Premises and the applicable Terminal building Rental
Rate. For Common Use Leased Premises, each Airline utilizing the Common Use Leased Premises
pays its pro-rata share of the product of the Terminal Building Rental Rate and the square footage of
the Common Use Leased Premises based on their pro-rata share of Enplaned Passengers. For Joint
Use Leased Premises, each Airline utilizing the Joint Use Leased Premises pays its pro-rata share of
the product of the Terminal Building Rental Rate and the square footage of the Joint Use Leased
Premises based on a formula agreed to by and between the County and the Airlines occupying the
Joint Use Leased Premises.
5.2.5.2
Landing Fee Calculation
In accordance with the provisions of the Airline Agreement, the annual Landing Fee Rates are
calculated as follows. The annual Airfield Area Requirements is reduced by the sum non-signatory
landing fees, applied PFCs, investment income, transferred coverage, and other airfield area nonairline revenues allocated to the Airfield Area Cost Center to determine the Net Airfield Area
Requirement.
The annual Signatory Landing Fee Rate per thousand pounds landed weight is determined by dividing
the Net Airfield Area Requirement by the estimated Maximum Gross Landed Weight of all Revenue
Aircraft Arrivals by the Signatory Airlines for the Fiscal Year divided by one thousand.
5.2.5.3
Security Charge
In accordance with the provisions of the Airline Agreement, the annual Airlines’ Security Charge for
each Fiscal Year the County calculates the annual costs associated with the operation, maintenance,
management and administration of the County Sheriff’s Officers deployed at the Airport plus (i) any
equipment costs necessary to support the deployed Sheriff Officers and (ii) any TSA space rental
requirements less any amount received as reimbursement from TSA. These costs are then allocated
to various Airport functions and Cost Centers to determine security costs allocable to the Airlines.
Each Airline’s share of the annual Security Charge is determined based on the Airlines’ percentage
of the total enplaned passengers for the Fiscal Year.
B-84
November 30, 2007
Okaloosa County
5.2.5.4
Revenue Sharing
The County calculates and credits against the Airlines’ Terminal Building Rentals and Landing Fees
a Revenue Sharing Credit. The Revenue Sharing Credit is determined by adding together the
following Airport System revenues:
x
Nonairline revenues, including primarily rental car and parking revenues and revenues from
Bob Sikes and Destin/Ft. Walton Beach airports.
x
Unadjusted Airline Revenues, including Terminal Building Rentals, Landing Fees, and
Security Charges amounts prior to the application of the Revenue Sharing Credits.
x
Other Available Revenues, including Pledged PFC Revenue, Pledged CFC Revenue, Investment
Income, Transferred Coverage, Transferred General Purpose Fund and Equipment and Capital
Outlays Account amounts.
Total net revenues available for revenue sharing is then determined by subtracting Operating and
Maintenance Expenses, Debt Service, and Fund Deposits/Transfers, including transfers from the
General Purpose Fund and Equipment and Capital Outlay Accounts; Annual Capital Outlays; and
any restricted revenues included in Other Available Revenues including PFC and CFC Revenue
pledged for coverage; PFC and CFC Investment Income; Non-PFC/CFC Coverage; and any other
restricted charges from the above referenced Airport System revenues.
Sixty (60) percent of the first $1.2 million of revenue sharing amount is shared with the Airlines and
the County retains the remaining 40 percent. When net revenues available for revenue sharing
exceeds $1.2 million, the Airlines receive 40 percent of the amount exceeding $1.2 million and the
County retains the remaining 60 percent of the amount exceeding $1.2 million. Each Signatory Airlines’
allocable share of the credit is in proportion to its percentages of Signatory Airlines’ Terminal Building
Rentals, Landing Fees and Security Charges for the Fiscal Year.
5.2.5.5
Adjustment of Airline Fees and Charges
If, in the first six months of any Fiscal Year, the current Terminal Building Rentals and Landing Fees
would result in an underpayment of 10 percent or more of the amount required to be generated, the
County may adjust the remaining monthly Landing Fee Rate and Terminal Building Rental Rates, as
applicable.
5.2.5.6
Capital Project Approvals
For certain Capital Projects, the Airlines have the right, through a majority-in-interest clause,
(“MII”), to defer a particular Capital Project for a period of up to twelve months. With respect to
Airfield Area Capital Projects, the MII provision means more that 50 percent of Signatory Airlines
that together landed more than 66 percent of the Signatory Airlines’ Landed Weight during the
previous 12-month period. With respect to any Terminal Area Capital Projects, the MII provision
extends to more than 50 percent of all Signatory Airlines that together lease more than 66 percent of
the total square footage of Signatory Airlines’ Preferential Use Space. Capital Projects that are
excluded from this MII provision include:
x
Any Capital Project in either the Terminal Area or Airfield cost center that has a net capital
cost of $500,000 or less, or whenever the aggregate net capital costs of Capital Projects
proposed in any Fiscal Year is estimated to not exceed $1 million. These limitation amounts
are adjusted annually by a CPI adjustment. Net capital cost means the capital cost exclusive
of Grants-in-Aid and PFCs, the capital cost funded from bonds amortized from PFCs, and
B-85
November 30, 2007
Okaloosa County
any other portion of the capital cost paid from funds not included in Signatory airlines’ rates
and charges.
x
Any Capital Project needed for emergency or safety purposes.
x
Any Capital Project needed to comply with any applicable law, rule regulation, policy of
order of any federal, state or local agency or court or any federal or state grant agreement or
airport certification requirement.
x
Any Capital Project needed to remedy any environmental problem.
x
Any Capital Project needed to repair any casualty damage not covered by insurance.
x
Any Capital Project needed to settle lawful claims, satisfy judgments or comply with judicial
orders against the County.
x
Any Capital Project in the Terminal Area Cost Center or the Airfield Cost Center where the
Debt Service related to the capital project is not paid through Signatory Airline rates and
charges.
x
Any Capital Project in the Terminal Area Cost Center of the Airfield Cost Center that does
not result in an increase in Terminal Building Rentals or Landing Fees paid by the Signatory
Airlines.
x
Any Capital Project related to any Airport gate construction, improvements or repairs that are
funded with MAP funds.
5.2.5.7
Extraordinary Coverage
The Airline Agreement provides that for any Fiscal Year in which Revenues less O&M Expenses
plus other funds available to meet the County’s Rate Covenant under the Indenture is or is projected
to be less than 125 percent of the Debt Service Requirement, the Airlines will make Extraordinary
Coverage Protection Payments to the County in an amount equal to the calculated or projected
shortfall in Revenues. Payments will be apportioned among the Airlines based on their pro-rata
share of Terminal Building Rentals and Landing Fees for the Fiscal Year. Extraordinary Coverage
Protection Payments will be repaid to the Airlines as soon as funds are available for repayment.
5.3
Financing Plan
As discussed earlier, the proceeds of the Series 2007 Bond will fund, in part, the 2007 Project as
described in Chapter I. As presented in Chapter IV, see Table IV-1 and Table IV-2, the total cost

in FY 2010 on Series 2007 Bonds, the first full year of debt service on that series, is approximately
$891,775. Aggregate annual debt service thereafter on Series 2003 and Series 2007 Bonds is
approximately $1.7 million. Commercial paper expense in FY 2010, the first year of principal and
interest payments on the estimated $2.0 million total commercial paper draw that is anticipated to
fund a portion of project costs in FY 2008 and FY 2009, is estimated at approximately $253,000.

Historical O&M Expenses from FY 2002 to FY 2006 increased at a compounded annual growth rate
of 18.2 percent, higher than inflationary impacts. This annual increase can be attributed to increased
personnel costs in the administration function and increased contracted services expenses, each of
which are primarily attributable to the new terminal building. Insurance, utilities, and cost of fuel
were also contributors to the increase in expenses. As described in Section 5.5 of this chapter, nonairline revenues also experienced strong growth over this period. To a large degree, growth in nonairline revenues offset the growth in O&M expenses.
Table V-4 presents O&M Expense for Okaloosa County Airport System by type of expense, airport,
and cost center for FY 2006, Budgeted FY 2007, and projected FY 2008 through FY 2016. O&M
expenses were approximately $5.1 million in FY 2006, budgeted to be $5.9 million in FY 2007, and
projected to increase to $9.0 million in FY 2016. The increase in O&M Expenses projected between
FY 2007 and FY 2016 represents a compounded annual growth rate of 4.8 percent.
As discussed earlier, there are seven direct and indirect categories of expenses included in the Airport’s
financial structure. The major expense categories include the following:
x
Personnel Services. These expenses represent the salaries, wages, and benefits associated
with employment of all Airport personnel as well as personnel at Destin/Ft. Walton Beach
Airport and Bob Sikes Airport. These expenses are projected to increase from approximately
$2.3 million budgeted in FY 2007 to approximately $3.8 million in FY 2016. The
compounded annual growth rate for these expenses for the period FY 2007 to FY 2016 is 5.9
percent.
x
Professional Services. These expenses include costs associated with accounting and
auditing, attorney, consulting, engineering, permitting, and other services that support the
operation of the Airport System. Professional services expenses are projected to increase
from approximately $305,000 in the FY 2007 budget to approximately $435,000 in FY 2016,

x
Contract Services. This category includes services provided by outside contractors such as
security, parking, skycap, lawn maintenance, and other services. In addition, certain costs
related to County administrative functions that are allocated to the Airport are included in this
category. Contributing to the O&M increase in Budget FY 2007 as compared to FY 2006 is
an increase of approximately $250,000 in contract service expenses. These expenses are
projected to increase from approximately $1.2 million budgeted in FY 2007 to approximately
$1.9 million in FY 2016. A portion of this increase is attributable to contract services
expenses included in the O&M component of the new rental car service facility, estimated at
approximately $200,000 in FY 2010 and escalated at 3.0 percent per year thereafter. The
compounded annual growth rate for these expenses for the period FY 2007 to FY 2016 is 5.4
percent.
x
Utilities. Utilities expenses include the cost of electricity, gas, sewer and water, and waste
disposal for the Airport System. The compounded annual growth rate for these expenses for
the period FY 2007 to FY 2016 is 4.7 percent and they are projected to increase from
approximately $567,000 in the FY 2007 budget to approximately $860,000 in FY 2016. A
portion of this increase is attributable to utilities expenses anticipated for the new rental car
service facility, estimated at approximately $50,000 in FY 2010 and escalated at 3.0 percent
per year thereafter.
x
Rentals & Leases. This category includes Airport System costs related to the rental and
lease of land, buildings, equipment, and fleet vehicles. The largest component of this
expense category is the County’s lease expense associated with the Joint-Use Agreement.
Total Rentals and Leases expense is projected to increase from approximately $555,000 in
the FY 2007 budget to approximately $661,000 in FY 2016. The FY 2007 budget currently
includes an increase of approximately $230,000 in land lease expenses that did not
materialize. Representative of the conservative approach used to budget this item in FY
2007, the actual FY 2008 land lease amount in the new lease, and the 3.0 percent escalation
factor applicable to the land lease and the Joint-Use Agreement for the period FY 2008
through the end of their terms, the compounded annual growth rate for these expenses for the
period FY 2007 to FY 2016 is 2.0 percent..
x
Maintenance & Repairs. Expenses related to the maintenance and repair of Airport System
facilities and equipment is included in this category. Maintenance and repairs expenses are
projected to increase from the budgeted FY 2007 amount of approximately $354,000 to
approximately $462,000 in FY 2016, representing a compounded annual growth rate of
approximately 3.0 percent.
x
Others. The largest single expense item included in this category of expense is insurance.
Additional items included in this category include, but are not limited to, advertising,
promotion, supplies, training, and memberships. The compounded annual growth rate for
these expenses for the period FY 2007 to FY 2016 is 3.0 percent and they are projected to
increase from approximately $666,000 in the FY 2007 budget to approximately $868,000 in
FY 2016.

Annual Growth Rate
Source: Okaloosa County, Okaloosa Regional Airport
Historical nonairline revenue from FY 2002 to FY 2006 increased at a compounded annual growth
rate of 15.4 percent. This annual increase can be attributed to growth in rental car revenues and
parking revenues at the Airport, strong growth in revenues at the County’s two general aviation
airports, and growth in other revenue items. Nonairline revenues presented in Table V-5 for FY
2005 and FY 2006 include the proceeds of land sales at Bob Sikes Airport. Per the terms of the
Indenture, land sale proceeds are excluded from Revenues in the determination of Airline rates and
charges.
Table V-6 presents nonairline revenues for the Airport System by airport and type of revenue for FY
2006, Budgeted FY 2007, and projected FY 2008 through 2016. Nonairline revenues are budgeted to
be approximately $5.4 million in FY 2007 and projected to be approximately $7.9 million in FY
2016. This increase represents a compounded annual growth rate of 4.4 percent. In general,
projections of future nonairline revenues were based on a review of existing agreements, historical
trends, the anticipated impacts of inflation, expected rate/revenue increases, and the projected growth
in activity. Starting in FY 2010, an increase of approximately $250,000 in rental car revenues,
escalated at 3.0 percent per year thereafter, is expected as an offset to incremental O&M expenses
anticipated to result from the new rental car service facility. Specific points concerning these
projections are discussed below:
5.5.1
Rental Car Revenue
Rental car revenue at the Airport is comprised of commission fees, terminal and parking area space
rents, and anticipated service facility rentals (including reimbursements for the facility’s O&M
component). Total rental car revenues are projected to increase from approximately $2.7 million
budgeted in FY 2007 to approximately $4.1 million in FY 2016, representing a compounded annual
growth rate of approximately 4.8 percent.
Commission revenues for the period FY 2007 through FY 2010 are primarily comprised of minimum
annual guarantees (MAG) included in the rental car concession agreement. In addition to the MAG,
commission revenues included in Table V-6 include commissions on excess rental car gross
revenues, an amount budgeted at $60,000 in FY 2007, and increased thereafter based on anticipated
inflationary impacts. Beyond FY 2010, total rental car commission revenues are projected to
increase based on projected activity growth and inflationary impacts.

Public Parking
Parking revenue at the Airport is projected to increase from approximately $1.5 million budgeted in
FY 2007 to approximately $2.2 million in FY 2016, representing a compounded annual growth rate
of approximately 4.4 percent.
The County’s contract with the existing parking operator, Republic Parking, expired at the end of FY
2005. Since then, the parking contract has been extended on a month-to-month basis using key
provisions of the expired lease. The County is currently examining alternative parking agreements,
including a parking management contract, seeking to maximize parking revenues. For the purposes
of this analysis, parking revenue projections are developed consistent with the prior parking
agreement. Should the County execute a parking management contract, or other agreement, the
parking revenue projection contained herein could be understated.
Therefore, growth in parking revenues in this projection methodology is attributable to projected growth
in passenger traffic and assumed parking rate increases. As presented in Chapter III, passenger
enplanements at the Airport are projected to increase at a compounded average annual rate of
approximately 2.8 percent from FY 2007 to FY 2016. That growth rate is applied to parking revenues
through the projection period in addition to a parking rate increase assumed to be implemented prior to
the start of FY 2008. The assumed parking rate increase will raise the maximum daily rate in for short
term parking from $8.50 to $10.00 and the maximum daily rate for the long term lot from $6.00 to $7.00.
5.5.3
Passenger Building Revenue
Passenger building revenue at the Airport is primarily comprised of concessionaire and advertising
revenues. Total passenger building revenues are projected to increase from approximately $196,000
budgeted in FY 2007 to approximately $280,000 in FY 2016, representing a compounded annual
The County executed a 15-year concession agreement with the Airport’s current concessionaire on
June 7, 2004. Under the terms of the existing agreement, the concessionaire pays a MAG or a
percentage rent based on total food and beverage sales, whichever is greater. In each full year of
operation under this agreement, revenues from the concessionaire have exceeded the MAG. Future
concessionaire revenues are projected based on anticipated passenger growth at the Airport and
inflationary impacts.
The County’s existing contract for advertising in the terminal building has a term extending 10-years
from DBO of the new terminal. Per the existing contract, advertising revenue received by the
County is comprised of a commission calculated based on 30 percent of gross revenues received by
the advertiser for static terminal rentals and 23 percent of gross revenues received from video,
motion, or computer advertising. Future advertising revenues are projected based on anticipated
passenger growth at the Airport.
5.5.4
TSA Rentals and Reimbursements
TSA rentals and reimbursements are projected to increase from approximately $203,400 budgeted in
FY 2007 to approximately $316,000 in FY 2016, representing a compounded annual growth rate of

Fuel flowage revenues are projected to increase from approximately $84,000 budgeted in FY 2007 to
approximately $105,000 in FY 2016, representing a compounded annual growth rate of
Under the County’s current agreement with Flightline, Inc., that company manages and operates the
Airport’s fueling concession and is reimbursed for a portion of its incurred expenses. Currently, the
County reimburses Flightline expenses at a rate of $2,000 per month, or $24,000 per year, which is
included as a component in Airport O&M. For the right to do business at the Airport, Flightline is
charged a fuel flowage fee of $0.02 per gallon pumped. The current five-year contract became
effective on January 1, 2007, and provides Flightline an option for a five-year extension at the end of
the initial term. The contract does include provisions for increasing the fuel flowage fee; however,
for the sake of this analysis no increases area assumed. Therefore, projected increases in fuel
flowage revenues at the Airport are attributable to increased aircraft operations.

Destin/Fort Walton Beach Airport
Revenues items at Destin/Ft. Walton Beach Airport include fixed based operation rentals and fees,
hangar and field fees, and landing fee revenue. Total revenues are projected to increase from
approximately $363,600 budgeted in FY 2007 to approximately $474,500 in FY 2016. This increase,
representing a compounded annual growth rate of 3.0 percent, is primarily attributable to anticipated
rental rate increases reflective of inflationary impacts.
5.5.9
Bob Sikes Airport
Revenues items Bob Sikes Airport include fixed based operation rentals and fees, hangar and field fees,
and rentals from tenants, including the federal government. Total revenues are projected to increase from
approximately $236,000 budgeted in FY 2007 to approximately $308,000 in FY 2016. This increase,
representing a compounded annual growth rate of 3.0 percent, is primarily attributable to anticipated
rental rate increases reflective of inflationary impacts.
5.6
PFC and CFC Revenues
The Airport is currently authorized to collect a passenger facility charge (PFC) of $4.50 per enplaned
passenger. The Airport is currently authorized by the FAA to collect a total PFC amount of
approximately $37.3 million and has collected approximately $8.6 million through March 2007.
County Ordinance No. 07-21 adopted on May 1, 2007, imposed a uniform CFC of $3.25 per rental
transaction day on rental car customers’ rental agreements at the Airport beginning on July 1, 2007.
The CFC can be increased by subsequent ordinance of the County. Projected FY 2007 CFC
B-97
November 30, 2007
Okaloosa County
collections reflect the CFC rate increase from $2.50 to $3.25 on July 1, 2007. Table V-7 presents
projections of PFC and CFC collections for the forecast period based on the activity forecast
prepared in Chapter III of this report.
For the purposes of this analysis, it is assumed that 90 percent of enplaning passengers at the Airport
are PFC-eligible, and no changes to the current PFC rate or administrative expense are assumed. In
addition to the CFC rate increase in FY 2007, the CFC projection assumes that the ratio of rental car
transaction days per enplanement experienced in FY 2006 remains constant through the projection
period. As shown in Table V-7, the PFC and CFC potential collections based on the forecast are
more than sufficient to cover the estimated total annual debt service for Series 2003 Bonds and Series
2007 Bonds, respectively.
5.7
Airline Rates
Airline rates for the period Budget FY 2007 through FY 2016, calculated per the requirements of the
Airline Agreement, are presented in the following sections. Included in the calculation of terminal
rental rate, landing fee rate, and security charges are projected amounts of net revenues available for
revenue sharing.
5.7.1
Terminal Rental Rate
The terminal rental rate calculation combines direct and indirect O&M expenses and debt service and
other requirements attributable to the Terminal Area Cost Center to determine the Terminal Area
Requirement. Terminal area other revenue credits, passenger loading bridge charges, and personnelrelated security costs allocable to the Airlines’ Security Charge are credited to the Terminal Area
Requirement resulting in a Net Terminal Area Requirement. The Average Terminal Building Rental
Rate is calculated by dividing the Net Terminal Area Requirement by the Airline Rentable Space for
the Terminal Building, which is defined as the sum of rentable space and space assigned to the TSA
for pre-boarding screening of airline passengers and baggage.
Table V-8 presents the calculation of the Signatory Airlines’ Terminal Rental Rate. Per the Airline
Agreement, a revenue sharing credit is included in the calculation. Based on the existing Airline
Agreement, 60 percent of the calculated Total Revenue Sharing Credit in each year is allocable to the
terminal and 40 percent is allocable to the airfield. The amount allocable to the terminal is further
allocated to Airlines’ Rented Space and Security Space based on their pro-rata share of terminal
square footage. After application of allocable amounts of projected revenue sharing credits to
Airlines’ Rented Space, the Signatory Airlines’ Effective Terminal Rental Rate as Adjusted is
projected to increase from approximately $40.47 per square foot in FY 2007, to approximately
$65.77 per square foot in FY 2016. This increase is primarily attributable to increasing O&M
expenses, growth in annual capital charges, and increasing amortization expense.
5.7.2
Landing Fee Rate
The Signatory Airline landing fee rate calculation combines direct and indirect O&M expenses and
debt service and other requirements attributable to the Airfield Area Cost Center to determine the
Airfield Area Requirement. Airfield area nonairline revenues and other revenue credits attributable
to the Airfield Area Cost Center are applied to the Airfield Area Requirement to calculate the Net
Airfield Area Requirement. The Net Airfield Area Requirement is divided by Signatory Airline
landed weight to determine the Signatory Airline Unadjusted Landing Fee Rate per thousand pounds

County agreed to fund annual O&M Reserve and Repair & Rehabilitation Fund deposits through FY 2007.
Equivalent to allocable Airline percentage of Net Revenues Available for Revenue Sharing in current year.
November 30, 2007
Okaloosa County
Table V-9 presents the calculation of the Signatory Airlines’ Landing Fee Rate. After application of
40 percent of the Total Revenue Sharing Credit as calculated per the Airline Agreement, the
Signatory Airline Effective Landing Fee as Adjusted is projected to increase from approximately
$1.07 per thousand pounds in FY 2007, to approximately $1.51 per thousand pounds in FY 2016.
This increase is primarily attributable to increasing O&M, capital, and amortization expenses,
partially offset by increasing Airfield nonairline revenues.
5.7.3
Security Charges
Based on the provisions of Section 6.05 of the Airline Agreement, and allocable amounts of projected
revenue sharing credits, the Signatory Airlines’ Adjusted Security Fee is projected to increase from
approximately $1.25 per passenger in FY 2007, to approximately $1.78 per passenger in FY 2016.
This increase is primarily attributable to increases in County security-related personnel costs.
5.7.4
Loading Bridge Charges
Per Section 6.11 of the Airline Agreement, Airlines pay the County for use of County-owned
passenger loading bridges. Loading bridge charges are budgeted at an annual amount of $21,600
(monthly amount of $600 per loading bridge) in FY 2007. Loading bridge charges will be increased
to an annual amount of $28,800 (monthly amount of $800 per loading bridge) in FY 2008. For the
purposes of this analysis, loading bridge charges are assumed to remain constant at the FY 2008
amount through the projection period.
5.8
Cost per Enplanement
Table V-10 presents projections of the Airport’s estimated average cost per enplaned passenger
(CPE) over the period FY 2007 through FY 2016. The Airport’s estimated signatory airline CPE is
projected to increase from approximately $5.56 in FY 2007, to approximately $7.33 in FY 2016.
5.9
Airport Cash Flow and Debt Service Coverage
Table V-11 presents projected Airport cash flow and debt service coverage for the period FY 2007
through FY 2016. Only CFC Revenues Pledged to Debt Service and CFC Revenues Available for
Coverage are included in Revenues. Total O&M expenses are subtracted from Total Revenues to
determine Net Revenues. PFC Revenues Pledged to Debt Service and PFC Revenues Available for
Coverage are added to Net Revenues to yield Amounts Available for Debt Service. Amounts
Available for Debt Service are divided by projected debt service amounts to calculate Revenue Bond
Debt Service Coverage for the period. Debt service coverage ratios are projected to exceed the
requirement of 1.25 times debt service required in the Indenture in each year of the financial
projection.
Table V-11 also presents projections of Surplus Funds to be Deposited in the Airports General
Purpose Fund. These represent amounts available for transfer to the Airports General Purpose Fund
after accounting for debt service, coverage, and other requirements, including but not limited to
deposits to the O&M Reserve Fund and Repair and Rehabilitation Fund.

TAXABLE AIRPORT REVENUE BONDS, SERIES 2007
Dear Sir:
We have acted as bond counsel in connection with the issuance by Okaloosa
County, Florida (the "County"), of its $_________ Taxable Airport Revenue Bonds, Series
2007 (the "Bonds"), pursuant to the Constitution and laws of the State of Florida,
particularly Part I of Chapter 125, Chapter 332, Part VII of Chapter 159, and Section
218.385, all of Florida Statutes, as amended from time to time, and other applicable
provisions of law, and pursuant to a Master Indenture of Trust dated as of August 1,
2003, between the County and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as trustee, as to which The
Bank of New York serves as successor trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a
First Supplemental Indenture dated as of August 1, 2003 (the First Supplemental
Indenture"), and as supplemented by a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of
December 1, 2007 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture), and, with the Master
Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture (the "Indenture"). The Bonds are being
issued to finance the development and construction of a new rental car facility and
related improvements at Okaloosa Regional Airport, as set forth in the Indenture. We
have examined the law and such certified proceedings of the Board of County
Commissioners (the "Board") of the County and other proofs as we deem necessary to
render this opinion.
As to questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon
representations of the County contained in the Indenture and in the certified
proceedings and other certifications of public officials furnished to us, without
undertaking to verify the same by independent investigation.
As of the date hereof, and based on our examination of the foregoing and the
law and proceedings in this matter, we are of the opinion that:
1.
The County is duly created and validly existing as a political
subdivision of the State of Florida, with the power to execute and delivery the
Indenture and to perform the agreements on its part contained therein and to issue
the Bonds pursuant to the Master Indenture and the Second Supplemental Indenture.
2.
The execution and delivery of the Second Supplemental Indenture
and the issuance of the Bonds has been approved by Resolution of the Board duly
adopted on October 2, 2007. The Second Supplemental Indenture has been duly
executed and delivered and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the County.
The Master Indenture creates a valid lien upon and pledge of the Trust Estate under
the Indenture, and the Second Supplemental Indenture creates a valid lien upon and
D-1
pledge of the Pledged CFC Revenue under the Indenture, each to secure payment of
the Bonds.
3.
The Bonds have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
the County and are valid and binding special obligations of the County, payable solely
from the sources hereinabove described, as provided in the Indenture.
4.
Under existing laws, regulations, rulings and court decisions, the
interest on the Bonds is NOT excluded from gross income for federal income tax
purposes.
It is to be understood that the rights of the holders of the Bonds, and the
enforceability of the Indenture and the Bonds, may be subject to the exercise of
judicial discretion in accordance with general principles of equity, to the valid exercise
of the sovereign police powers of the State of Florida, and of the constitutional powers
of the United States of America and to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights heretofore or hereafter
enacted.
Respectfully submitted,

SPECIMEN FINANCIAL GUARANTY INSURANCE POLICY
FINANCIAL GUARANTY INSURANCE POLICY
Obligor:

Bond Trustee:
Insurance Trustee:
Policy Number:
Premium:
Radian Asset Assurance Inc. ("Insurer"), a corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York, in
consideration of the payment of the premium and subject to the terms of this Policy, hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees the payment of the Obligation (hereinafter defined) to the Insurance Trustee for the
benefit of the Holders (hereinafter defined) from time to time of the Bonds. This Policy does not insure against
any risk other than nonpayment of the Obligation by or on behalf of the Obligor or any other obligor to the Bond
Trustee. Nonpayment includes recovery from a Holder of Bonds or the Bond Trustee of any portion of the
Obligation pursuant to a final judgment by any court of competent jurisdiction holding that such payment
constituted a voidable preference within the meaning of any applicable bankruptcy law.
Upon receipt by the Insurer of telephonic or telegraphic notice, such notice subsequently confirmed to the
Insurer in writing by registered or certified mail, from the Insurance Trustee that the Obligor (or other obligor
responsible for payment of the Obligation) has failed to provide the Bond Trustee with sufficient funds for
payment of the Obligation on the Due Date (hereinafter defined), the Insurer shall, not later than such Due Date
or the first business day after receipt of such notice, whichever is later, pay to the Insurance Trustee for the
benefit of the Holders of the Bonds an amount which shall be sufficient to pay the Obligation, but only upon
receipt by the Insurer, in a form reasonably satisfactory to it, of (a) evidence of the Holder's right to receive such
payment and (b) evidence, including any appropriate instruments of assignment, that all the Holder's rights with
respect to such payment shall thereupon vest in the Insurer. "Due Date" means, when referring to the principal
of the Obligation, the stated maturity date thereof or the date on which the same shall have been duly called for
mandatory sinking fund prepayment and does not refer to any earlier date on which payment is due by reason
of any other call for redemption, acceleration or other advancement of maturity unless the Insurer shall elect, in
its sole discretion, to pay such principal due upon such redemption, acceleration or other advancement of
maturity together with any accrued interest to the date of redemption, acceleration or other advancement of
maturity. Tendering of payment, to the Bond Trustee, of such principal due upon such redemption, acceleration
or other advancement of maturity, together with any accrued interest to the date of such redemption,
acceleration or other advancement of maturity, shall satisfy the Insurer's obligations under this Policy, in full.
When referring to interest on the Obligation, "Due Date" means the stated date for payment of interest.

The Insurer shall, to the extent of any payment made by it pursuant to this Policy, be deemed to have acquired
and become the Holder of the Bonds or portions thereof or interest thereon paid from such payment and shall
be fully subrogated to all rights to payment thereof.
As used herein, the term “Holder” or "Holders" means the registered owners of the Bonds as indicated in the
registration books maintained by the Bond Trustee for such purpose at the time of nonpayment of the
Obligation. The terms “Holder” or “Holders” shall not include the Obligor or any person or entity whose direct or
indirect obligation constitutes the underlying security for the Obligation. As used herein, the term "Bond
Trustee" means the Bond Trustee above named and any successor trustee duly appointed. As used herein,
the term "Insurance Trustee" means the Insurance Trustee above named and any successor insurance trustee
duly appointed. As used herein, the term "Obligation" means the payment of principal and interest regularly
scheduled to be paid on the Bonds, which shall have become due for payment but shall be unpaid on the Due
Date, but does not include any premium payable with respect to the Bonds, nor any redemption (except
mandatory sinking fund redemption), acceleration or other advancement of maturity.
This Policy is non-cancelable for any reason. Premiums paid on this Policy are not refundable for any reason
including without limitation the payment prior to maturity of the Bonds.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Insurer has caused this Policy to be issued to the Insurance Trustee for the
benefit of the Holders from time to time of the Bonds and to be executed and delivered by its duly authorized
officer to become effective and binding upon the Insurer by virtue of the execution and delivery thereof on this
____ day of ______ 20___.
