Sunset. In all events, this Ordinance shall be in effect only through December 31, 2025.

Alternatively, this Ordinance shall sunset on December 31 st of any year during the term of this Ordinance in the event that the total aggregate distributions of Surtax proceeds equal or exceed the amount of $490,000,000 at any time during that calendar year, in which event the Board shall take necessary action to repeal this Ordinance and notify the Florida Department of Revenue prior to the applicable deadline so that the Surtax will not continue for the following year.
(b)
Survival of restrictions on use of Surtax proceeds. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) for the expiration and repeal of this Ordinance, so long as any Surtax proceeds shall remain unspent, the restrictions hereby imposed concerning the distribution and use of such Surtax proceeds as well as the proceeds of any borrowings payable from Surtax proceeds, and all interest and other investment earnings on either of them shall survive such expiration and repeal and shall be fully enforceable in a court of competent jurisdiction.
