We affirm the circuit court's amended final judgment validating the Florida Development Finance Corporation special assessment revenue bonds. However, because additional steps are required to implement the circuit court's rulings and the rulings of this Court, we remand to the circuit court with instructions to require FDFC to amend the bond documents to remove all references to judicial foreclosure as a remedy and remove all references to the FDFC having, or being delegated, authority to levy the non-ad valorem assessments. We direct that the amended documents be filed in the circuit court following approval of the amendments by the governing board of the FDFC.It is so ordered.
