DESCRIPTION:
Background
The California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA) is a joint powers
authority sponsored by the League of California Cities and the California State Association of
Counties. To date, 530 cities, counties, and special districts throughout California are members of
CSCDA, including the City of Dublin and the Dublin San Ramon Services District.

In 2002, CSCDA instituted the Statewide Community Infrastructure Program (SCIP) to allow
owners of property in participating cities and counties to finance the development impact fees
that would be payable by property owners upon receiving development entitlements or building
permits through a pooled special assessment districts program. In 2010, SCIP was expanded to
include financing of public capital improvements in addition to fees, and in 2020 was further
expanded to include community facilities districts (CFDs) as a funding mechanism option. Since its
inception, SCIP has issued more than $1 billion in land -secured special assessment and CFD bonds
for development projects in California.
Dublin's Participation in SCIP
On September 20, 2005, the City of Dublin joined SCIP through Resolution No. 185-05, which
authorized CSCDA to accept applications for non-residential developments and levy special
assessments. On December 21, 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 178-10 which
allowed for SCIP financing for multi -family projects.
Since the City joined SCIP, two projects in Dublin have participated in SCIP Series 2007A for a total
face value (par) of approximately $1.14 million, for the Hummer, Saab and Saturn of Dublin and
Venture Commerce Center projects as detailed below.

Revisions to SCIP Resolution
In order for developers to apply for the use of CFD financing through the SCIP program in Dublin,
the City would need to rescind, replace, and restate its SCIP Resolution (No. 178-10, adopted on
December 21, 2010). To date, 27 agencies have adopted the updated resolution allowing for the
formation of CFDs through SCIP.
By adding CFDs as an option under the SCIP program, developers can access another financing
mechanism that can potentially pay for a broader range of City fees and more types of facilities. It
also provides more flexibility in adjusting tax rates by specific product type and can help with
project phasing. Just as with SCIP's current assessment financing program, CSCDA would manage
certain administrative functions of the CFD, including formation, bond issuance, and bond
administration.
The attached Amended and Restated Resolution adds CFDs to the available funding mechansisms
through SCIP within the City's boundaries. The authorization of CSCDA to form assessment
Page 2 of 3

districts and levy assessments against the property of participating owners previously approved
by the City Council would remain in effect.
In addition, the Amended and Restated Resolution approves the form of an acquisition agreement
(Attachment 3), to be entered into between the City and the participating property
owner/developer, if applicable, to provide the terms and conditions under which financing for
public capital improvements would be provided and to establish the procedure for disbursement
of bond proceeds to pay for completed facilities. The Resolution further authorizes miscellaneous
related actions and makes certain findings and determinations required by law.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
None.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
In accordance with State law, a public notice was published in the East Bay Times and posted in
several locations throughout the City. The Staff Report and attachments were made available for
public review five days prior to the public hearing, and the City Council Agenda was posted.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Dublin as
follows:
Section 1. This Amended and Restated Resolution shall constitute full "local approval,"
under Section 9 of the Joint Powers Agreement, and under the Authority's Local Goals and
Policies (defined below), for the Authority to undertake and conduct proceedings in accordance
herewith and under the Mello Roos Act to form CFDs with boundaries that shall be coterminous
with the City's official boundaries of record at the time of such proceedings or any portion thereof
(the "Proposed Boundaries"), and to authorize a special tax and to issue bonds with respect
thereto; provided that the Participating Developers, who shall be the legal owners of such property
at the time of formation of the CFD, execute a written consent to the levy of special tax in
connection with SCIP by the Authority and execute a ballot in favor of the formation of such CFD
and the Mello -Roos Act.
Section 2. The City hereby consents to the conduct of special assessment proceedings by
the Authority in connection with SCIP pursuant to the 1913 Act and the issuance of Local
Obligations under the 1915 Act on any property within the Proposed Boundaries; provided, that:
(1) Such proceedings are conducted pursuant to one or more Resolutions of Intention in
substantially the form of the ROI; and
(2) The Participating Developers, who shall be the legal owners of such property at the time of
the formation of the Assessment District, execute a written consent to the levy of assessments in
connection with SCIP by the Authority and execute an assessment ballot in favor of such
assessment in compliance with the requirements of Section 4 of Article XIIID of the State
Constitution.
Section 3. The Joint Powers Agreement, together with the terms and provisions of this
Amended and Restated Resolution, shall together constitute a separate joint community facilities
agreement between the City and the Authority under the Mello -Roos Act for each CFD formed.
As, without this Amended and Restated Resolution, the Authority has no power to finance City
Fees and/or City Improvements (as such terms are defined herein) in proceedings under the
Mello -Roos Act to form the CFD, adoption by the Commission of the Authority of each Resolution
of Intention to form a CFD under the Mello -Roos Act to finance City Fees and/or City
Reso. No. XX-24, Item X.X, Adopted XX/XX/2024 Page 3 of 8 6
Improvements shall constitute acceptance of the terms hereof by the Authority with respect to
such CFD.
Section 4. This Amended and Restated Resolution and the agreement it embodies are
determined to be beneficial to the residents/customers of the City and are in the best interests of
the residents of the City, and of the future residents of the area within the proposed CFDs and
Assessment Districts. The City hereby finds and declares that the issuance of revenue bonds by
the Authority to purchase Local Obligations in connection with SCIP will provide significant public
benefits, including without limitation, savings in effective interest rate, bond preparation, bond
underwriting and bond issuance costs, and the more efficient delivery of local agency services to
residential and commercial development within the City.
Section 5. The Authority has adopted Local Goals and Policies as required by Section
53312.7 of the Mello -Roos Act. The City approves the use of those Local Goals and Policies in
connection with the formation of CFDs. The City hereby agrees that the Authority may act in lieu
of the City under those Local Goals and Policies in forming and administering the CFDs.
Section 6. The Authority has prepared and will update from time to time the "SCIP Manual
of Procedures" (the "Manual"), and the City will handle Fee revenues and funds for Improvements
for properties participating in SCIP in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Manual.
Section 7. Pursuant to the Mello -Roos Act and this Amended and Restated Resolution,
the Authority may conduct proceedings under the Mello -Roos Act to form the CFDs and to have
such CFDs authorize the financing of any or all of the facilities and Fees set forth on Exhibit C,
attached hereto. All of the facilities, whether to be financed directly or through Fees, shall be
facilities that have an expected useful life of five years or longer and are facilities that the City or
other local public agencies, as the case may be, are authorized by law to construct, own or
operate, or to which they may contribute revenue. Exhibit C may be modified from time to time
by written agreement between an authorized representative of the Authority and of the City. The
facilities are referred to herein as the "Improvements," and the Improvements to be owned by the
City are referred to as the "City Improvements." The Fees paid or to be paid to the City are referred
to as the "City Fees."
Section 8. For Fees paid or to be paid to another agency by any particular CFD (an
"Other Local Agency"), the Authority will obtain the written consent of that Other Local Agency
before issuing Local Obligations to fund such Fees, as required by the Mello -Roos Act. For the
Improvements to be owned by an Other Local Agency, the Authority will separately identify them
in its proceedings, and will enter into a joint community facilities agreement with such Other Local
Agency prior to issuing Local Obligations to finance such Improvements, as required by the Mello -
Roos Act. Each joint community facilities agreement with each Other Local Agency will contain a
provision that the Other Local Agency will provide indemnification to the City to the same extent
that the City provides indemnification to the Other Local Agency under the terms of this Amended
and Restated Resolution.
Section 9. At the time of formation of each CFD, the City will certify to the Commission
of the Authority that all of the City Improvements including the improvements to be constructed or
acquired with the proceeds of City Fees to be funded by such CFD are necessary to meet
increased demands placed upon the City as a result of development occurring or expected to
occur within the proposed CFDs in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. Any appropriate officer
or staff of the City is authorized to execute and deliver such certificate in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit D, with such changes as such signatory shall approve. Joint
Reso. No. XX-24, Item X.X, Adopted XX/XX/2024 Page 4 of 8
7
community facilities agreements with other local agencies will each contain a requirement that
each Other Local Agency will make identical certification in connection with respect to the
Improvements to be owned by, and Fees paid or to be paid to, such Other Local Agency equivalent
to that made by the City in this paragraph.
Section 10. The Authority will apply the special tax collections initially as required by the
documents under which any Local Obligations are issued; and thereafter, to the extent not
provided in the Local Obligations documents, may pay its own reasonable administrative costs
incurred in the administration of the CFDs. The Authority will remit any special tax revenues from
any particular CFD remaining after the final retirement of all related Local Obligations to the City
and to the other local agencies in the proportions specified in the Authority's proceedings. The
City will apply any such special tax revenues it receives for authorized City Improvements or City
Fees and its own administrative costs only as permitted by the Mello -Roos Act. The joint
community facilities agreements with each Other Local Agency must require the Other Local
Agency to apply the special tax revenues they receive for their authorized Improvements and Fees
under the CFDs and for their own related administrative costs only as permitted by the Mello -Roos
Act.
Section 11. The Authority will administer the CFDs, including employing and paying all
consultants, annually levying the special tax and all aspects of paying and administering the Local
Obligations, and complying with all State and Federal requirements appertaining to the
proceedings, including the requirements of the United States Internal Revenue Code. The City
will cooperate fully with the Authority in respect of the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
and to the extent information is required of the City to enable the Authority to perform its disclosure
and continuing disclosure obligations with respect to the Local Obligations and any revenue
bonds, although the City will not participate in nor be considered to be a participant in the
proceedings respecting the CFDs (other than as a party to the agreement embodied by this
Amended and Restated Resolution) nor will the City be or be considered to be an issuer of the
Local Obligations nor any revenue bonds. The Authority is required to obtain a provision
equivalent to this paragraph in all joint community facilities agreements with each Other Local
Agency.
Section 12. In the event the Authority completes issuance and sale of Local Obligations,
and Local Obligation proceeds become available to finance the Improvements, the Authority shall
establish and maintain a special fund for each development project (the "Acquisition and
Construction Fund"). The portion of Local Obligation proceeds which is intended to be utilized to
finance the Improvements and Fees shall be deposited in the Acquisition and Construction Fund.
The Acquisition and Construction Fund will be available both for City Improvements and City Fees
and for the Improvements and Fees pertaining to each Other Local Agency. Subaccounts shall
be created as necessary.
Section 13. As respects the Authority and each Other Local Agency, the City agrees to
fully administer, and to take full governmental responsibility for, the construction or acquisition of
the City Improvements and for the administration and expenditure of the City Fees including but
not limited to environmental review, approval of plans and specifications, bid requirements,
performance and payment bond requirements, insurance requirements, contract and construction
administration, staking, inspection, acquisition of necessary property interests in real or personal
property, the holding back and administration of retention payments, punch list administration, and
the Authority and each Other Local Agency shall have no responsibility in that regard. The City
reserves the right, as respects each Participating Developer, to require the Participating Developer
to contract with the City to assume any portion or all of this responsibility. The Authority is required
Reso. No. XX-24, Item X.X, Adopted XX/XX/2024 Page 5 of 8
8
to obtain provisions equivalent to this paragraph in the joint community facilities agreement with
each Other Local Agency.
Section 14. The City agrees to indemnify and to hold the Authority, its other members,
and its other members' officers, agents and employees, and each Other Local Agency and their
officers, agents and employees (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") harmless from any and all
claims, suits and damages (including costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of the
design, engineering, construction and installation of the City Improvements and the improvements
to be financed or acquired with the City Fees. The City reserves the right, as respects each
Participating Developer, to require the Participating Developer to assume by contract with the City
any portion or all of this responsibility. The Authority is required to obtain a provision equivalent
to this paragraph in all joint community facilities agreements with each Other Local Agency naming
the City and its officers, agents and employees as Indemnified Parties with respect to each Other
Local Agency's respective Improvements and the improvements to be constructed or acquired
with each Other Local Agency's Fees.
Section 15. As respects the Authority and each Other Local Agency, the City agrees —
once the City Improvements are constructed according to the approved plans and specifications,
and the City and the Participating Developer have put in place their agreed arrangements for the
funding of maintenance of the City Improvements — to accept ownership of the City Improvements,
to take maintenance responsibility for the City Improvements, and to indemnify and hold harmless
the Indemnified Parties to the extent provided in the preceding paragraph from any and all claims,
etc., arising out of the use and maintenance of the City Improvements. The City reserves the
right, as respects the Participating Developer, to require the Participating Developer by contract
with the City to assume any portion or all of this responsibility. The Authority is required to obtain
a provision equivalent to this paragraph in all joint community facilities agreements with each Other
Local Agency naming the City and its officers, agents and employees as Indemnified Parties.
Section 16. The City acknowledges the requirement of the Mello -Roos Act that if the City
Improvements are not completed prior to the adoption by the Commission of the Authority of the
Resolution of Formation of the CFD for each respective development project, the City
Improvements must be constructed as if they had been constructed under the direction and
supervision, or under the authority of, the City. The City acknowledges that this means all City
Improvements must be constructed under contracts that require the payment of prevailing wages
as required by Section 1720 and following of the Labor Code of the State of California. The
Authority makes no representation that this requirement is the only applicable legal requirement
in this regard. The City reserves the right, as respects the Participating Developer, to assign
appropriate responsibility for compliance with this paragraph to the Participating Developer.
Section 17. The form of the Acquisition Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B is hereby
approved, and the City Manager or such officer's designee (each, an "Authorized Officer") is
authorized to execute, and deliver to the Participating Developer, the Acquisition Agreement on
behalf of the City in substantially that form, with such changes as shall be approved by the
Authorized Officer after consultation with the City Attorney and the Authority's bond counsel, such
approval to be conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof.
Section 18. After completion of the City Improvements and appropriate arrangements for
the maintenance of the City Improvements, or any discrete portion thereof as provided in Section
53313.51 of the Mello -Roos Act and in the Acquisition Agreement, to the satisfaction of the City,
and in conjunction with the City's acceptance thereof, acquisition of the City Improvements shall
be undertaken as provided in the Acquisition Agreement.

Section 19. The City hereby consents to the formation of the CFDs in accordance with
this Amended and Restated Resolution and consents to the assumption of jurisdiction by the
Authority for the proceedings respecting the CFDs with the understanding that the Authority will
hereafter take each and every step required for or suitable for consummation of the proceedings,
the levy, collection and enforcement of the special tax, and the issuance, sale, delivery and
administration of the Local Obligations, all at no cost to the City and without binding or obligating
the City's general fund or taxing authority.
Section 20. The terms of the Agreement embodied by this Amended and Restated
Resolution may be amended by a writing duly authorized, executed and delivered by the City and
the Authority, except that no amendment may be made after the issuance of the Local Obligations
by the Authority that would be detrimental to the interests of the bondholders without complying
with all of the bondholder consent provisions for the amendment of the bond resolutions, bond
indentures or like instruments governing the issuance, delivery and administration of all
outstanding Local Obligations.
Section 21. Except to the extent of the indemnifications extended to each Other Local
Agency in the Agreement embodied by this Amended and Restated Resolution, and the City's
agreement to take responsibility for and ownership of the City Improvements, no person or entity,
including the Participating Developer, shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of this

express or implied) is intended to confer upon any person or entity other than the Authority and
the City (and their respective successors and assigns) any rights, remedies, obligations or
liabilities under or by reason of this Amended and Restated Resolution.
Section 22. The City shall be identified as a third -party beneficiary of all joint community
facilities agreements between the Authority and each Other Local Agency to the extent of the
indemnification provisions and the provisions whereby each Other Local Agency agrees to take
responsibility for and ownership of their Improvements.
Section 23. The appropriate officials and staff of the City are hereby authorized and
directed to make SCIP applications available to all property owners who are subject to Fees for
new development within the City and/or who are conditioned to install Improvements and to inform
such owners of their option to participate in SCIP; provided, that the Authority shall be responsible
for providing such applications and related materials at its own expense. The staff persons listed
on the attached Exhibit E, together with any other staff persons chosen by the Authorized Officer
from time to time, are hereby designated as the contact persons for the Authority in connection
with SCIP.

capital improvements within the jurisdiction of the City, as are reasonably required by the Authority
in accordance with the Manual to implement SCIP and to evidence compliance with the
requirements of federal and state law in connection with the issuance by the Authority of the Local
Obligations and any other bonds for SCIP. To that end, and pursuant to Treasury Regulations
Section 1.150-2, the staff persons listed on Exhibit E, or other staff person acting in the same

engineering design contracts for the Acquisition Improvements to be acquired from
B-6
4158-8478-2670.1
21
Attachment 3
Developer. All eligible expenditures of the Developer for design engineering and related
costs in connection with the Acquisition Improvements (whether as an advance to the
Local Agency or directly to the design consultant) shall be reimbursed at the time of
acquisition of such Acquisition Improvements. The Developer shall be entitled to
reimbursement for any design costs of the Acquisition Improvements only out of the
Acquisition Price as provided in Section 2.03 and shall not be entitled to any payment for
design costs independent of or prior to the acquisition of Acquisition Improvements.
Letting and Administration of Construction Contracts; Indemnification.
State law requires that all Acquisition Improvements not completed prior to the formation
of the District shall be constructed as if they were constructed under the direction and
supervision, or under the authority, of the Local Agency. [In order to assure compliance
with those provisions, except for any contracts entered into prior to the date hereof,
Developer agrees to comply with the requirements set forth in Exhibit C hereto with
respect to the bidding and contracting for the construction of the Acquisition
Improvements.] The Developer agrees that all the contracts shall call for payment of
prevailing wages as required by the Labor Code of the State of California. The
Developer's indemnification obligation set forth in Section 3.01 of this Agreement shall
also apply to any alleged failure to comply with the requirements of this Section, and/or
applicable State laws regarding public contracting and prevailing wages.
Sale of Acquisition Improvements. The Developer agrees to sell to the
Local Agency each Acquisition Improvement to be constructed by Developer (including
any rights -of -way or other easements necessary for the Acquisition Improvements, to the
extent not already publicly owned), when the Acquisition Improvement has been
constructed and is complete to the satisfaction of the Local Agency for an amount not to
exceed the lesser of (i) the Available Amount or (ii) the Actual Cost of the Acquisition
Improvement. Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein, contains a list of the
Acquisition Improvements. Portions of an Acquisition Improvement eligible for Installment
Payments prior to completion of the entire Acquisition Improvement are described as
eligible, discrete and usable portions in Exhibit A (each, an "Eligible Portion"). At the time
of completion of each Acquisition Improvement, or Eligible Portion thereof, the Developer
shall deliver to the Local Agency Engineer a written request for acquisition, accompanied
by an Actual Cost Certificate, and by executed Title Documents for the transfer of the
Acquisition Improvement where necessary. In the event that the Local Agency Engineer
finds that the supporting paperwork submitted by the Developer fails to demonstrate the
required relationship between the subject Actual Cost and eligible work, the Local Agency
Engineer shall advise the Developer that the determination of the Actual Cost (or the
ineligible portion thereof) has been disallowed and shall request further documentation
from the Developer. If the further documentation is still not adequate, the Local Agency
Engineer may revise the Actual Cost Certificate to delete any disallowed items and the
determination shall be final and conclusive.
Certain soft costs for the Acquisition Improvements, such as civil engineering, may
have been incurred pursuant to single contracts that include work relating also to the
private portions of the Project. In those instances, the total costs under such contracts
B-7
4158-8478-2670.1
22
Attachment 3
will be allocated to each Acquisition Improvement as approved by the Local Agency
Engineer. Where a specific contract has been awarded for design or engineering work
relating solely to an Acquisition Improvement, one hundred percent (100%) of the costs
under the contract will be allocated to that Acquisition Improvement. Amounts allocated
to an Acquisition Improvement will be further allocated among the Eligible Portions of that
Acquisition Improvement, if any, in the same proportion as the amount to be reimbursed
for hard costs for each Eligible Portion bears to the amount to be reimbursed for hard
costs for the entire Acquisition Improvement. Costs will be allocated to each Acquisition
Improvement as approved by the Local Agency Engineer. The costs of certain
environmental mitigation required to mitigate impacts of the public and private portions of
the Project will be allocated to each Acquisition Improvement as approved by the Local
Agency Engineer.
In the event that the Actual Cost is in excess of the Available Amount, the Local
Agency shall withdraw the Available Amount from the Acquisition and Construction Fund
and transfer said amount to the Developer. In the event that the Actual Cost is less than
the Available Amount, the Local Agency shall withdraw an amount from the Acquisition
and Construction Fund equal to the Actual Cost, and shall transfer said amount to the
Developer. Any amounts then remaining in the Acquisition and Construction Fund shall
be applied as provided in Section 1.03.
In no event shall the Local Agency be required to pay the Developer more than the
amount on deposit in the Acquisition and Construction Fund at the time such payment is
requested.
Conditions Precedent to Payment of Acquisition Price. Payment to the
Developer or its designee of the Acquisition Price for an Acquisition Improvement from
the Acquisition and Construction Fund shall in every case be conditioned first upon the
determination of the Local Agency Engineer, pursuant to Section 2.03, that the Acquisition
Improvement satisfies all Local Agency regulations and ordinances and is otherwise
complete and ready for acceptance by the Local Agency, and shall be further conditioned
upon satisfaction of the following additional conditions precedent:
The Developer shall have provided the Local Agency with lien releases or
other similar documentation satisfactory to the Local Agency Engineer as evidence that
none of the property (including any rights -of -way or other easements necessary for the
operation and maintenance of the Acquisition Improvement, to the extent not already
publicly owned) comprising the Acquisition Improvement, and the property which is
subject to the [assessments/Special Taxes] of the District, is not subject to any
prospective mechanics lien claim respecting the Acquisition Improvements.
All due and payable property taxes, and installments of
[assessments/Special Taxes] shall be current on property owned by the Developer or
under option to the Developer that is subject to the lien of the District.
The Developer shall certify that it is not in default with respect to any loan
secured by any interest in the Project.
B-8
4158-8478-2670.1
23
Attachment 3
The Developer shall have provided the Local Agency with Title Documents
needed to provide the Local Agency with title to the site, right-of-way, or easement upon
which the subject Acquisition Improvements are situated. All such Title Documents shall
be in a form acceptable to the Local Agency (or applicable governmental agency) and
shall convey Acceptable Title. The Developer shall provide a policy of title insurance as
of the date of transfer in a form acceptable to the Local Agency Engineer insuring the
Local Agency as to the interests acquired in connection with the acquisition of any interest
for which such a policy of title insurance is not required by another agreement between
the Local Agency and the Developer. Each title insurance policy required hereunder shall
be in the amount equal to or greater than the Acquisition Price.
SCIP Requisition. Upon a determination by the Local Agency Engineer to
pay the Acquisition Price of the Acquisition Improvements pursuant to Section 2.04, the
Local Agency Engineer shall cause a SCIP Requisition to be submitted to the Program
Administrator. The Program Administrator will review the SCIP Requisition and forward
it with instructions to the Authority Trustee and the Authority Trustee shall make payment
directly to the Developer of such amount pursuant to the Authority Trust Agreement. The
Local Agency and the Developer acknowledge and agree that the Authority Trustee shall
make payment strictly in accordance with the SCIP Requisition and shall not be required
to determine whether or not the Acquisition Improvements have been completed or what
the Actual Costs may be with respect to such Acquisition Improvements. The Authority
Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the SCIP Requisition on its face without any further
duty of investigation.

defense of, and indemnifies and saves harmless the Local Agency, the Authority, and
each of its respective officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against all
