DESCRIPTION: The California Statewide Communities Development Authority ("CSCDA")
is a joint powers authority sponsored by the League of California Citics and the California State
Association of Counties. The membcr agencies of CSCDA include approximately 230 cities and 54
counties throughout California, including the City of Dublin.
The Statewide Community Infrastructure Program ("SClP") was instituted by CSCDA in 2002 to allow
owners of property in participating cities and counties to finance the development impact fees that would
be payable hy property owners upon receiving development entitlements or building permits (see
Attachment 1). If a property owner chooses to participate, the development impact fees owed to the City
of Dublin will be financed by the issuance of tax-exempt bonds (current interest ratc: 5.25%) by CSCDA.
CSCDA will impose a special assessment on the owner's property to repay the portion of the bonds issued
to finance the fees paid with rcspcct to the property. The property owner will either pay the impact fees at
thc time of pennit issuance, and will he reimburscd from the SCIP bond proceeds when the SClP bonds
are issued, or the qualifying impact fees will be paid, at the time of the building permit issuance, directly
to the City of Dublin ITom the proceeds of the SClP bonds. If the impact fees increase fÌom the time of
the bond issuance to building permit issuance, the developer will be responsible for paying the difference
between the bond procecds and the final impact fees at the time of building permit issuance.

Thc benefits to the Citv of Dublin include:
· The program provides an cconomic development incentive to attract commcrcial and industrial
businesses to the City tl1at may not otherwise be able to locatc to Dublin.
· As in conventional assessment financing, the City of Dublin is not liable to repay the bonds issued by
CSCDA or the assessments imposed on the participating propcrtics.
· CSCDA handles all district formation, district administration, bond issuance and bond administration
functions. A participating City can provide financing to property owners through SCIP while
committing virtually no staff time to administer the program.
The benefits to the developer include:
· Only dcvclopcrs who choose to participate in the program will have assessments imposed on their
property.
· Instead of paying cash for dcvelopment impact fees, the property owner receives low-cost, long-term
tax-exempt financing of those fees, freeing up capital for othcr purposes.
· The property owner can choosc to payoff the special assessments at any time.
· Owners of smallcr projects can have access to tax-exempt financing of infrastructure. Before the
inception of SCIP, only projects large enough to justify the fonnation of an assessment or
communities facilities district had access to tax-exempt financing.
Staff recently met with SCIP program officials and it has bcen determined that the following City
development fees can be paid by the SCIP program:
Public Facilities Fees
Community Parks
Community Parks, Tmprovcmcnts
Community Buildings
Land, Neighborhood Parks
hnprovements, Neighborhood Parks
Freeway Interchange Fee
Traffic Impact Fees - (Eastern Dublin Traffic Impact Fee and Downtown Traffic Impact Fee)
Tri-Valley Transportation Fee
Noise Mitigation Fee
The SCIP program will not allow bond proceeds to pay for the following City fees:
Public Facilities Fees
Libraries
Civic Center
Aquatic Centcr
Fire Impact Fees
IncIusionary In Lieu Fees
The SCIP program will a1so not allow bond proceeds to pay for School District development fees.
Thc SClP program will also allow bond proceeds to pay for certain DSRSD and Zone 7 fees. SClP Staff
has met with DSRSD and is currently working on making this program available for their fees.

2oÓ3
The proposed resolution (see Attachment 2) authorizes the CSCDA to accept applications from owners of
property within the City's planning jurisdiction to apply for tax-exempt financing of development impact
fees through SClP. It also authorizes CSCDA to form an assessment district covering the City of Dublin,
conduct assessment proceedings and levy assessments against thc property of varticivating owners. It also
authorizes miscellaneous related actions and makes certain findings and determinations required by law.
Attached to the Resolution, as Exhibit A, is a "Fonn of CSCDA Resolution of Intention." This is for
informational purposes and does not require action by the City Council.
Over the past two years, the SCIP program issued bonds for development in a number of cities, including
Brentwood, Elk Grove, Lincoln, Millbrae, Napa, Richmond and Roseville. At the prcscnt time, SCIP
Staff will begin accepting applications in October 2005 for a November/December 2005 bond issues.
Staff has had conversations with local dcvclopcrs as to their interest in this typc of program, and the
response has bcen positive with the developer of the Gateway Mcdical Center (Triad Development)
prepared to submit an application to SClP for considcration, should the City Council approve this action.
At this point, Staff would recommend that this program bc made available to commercial/industrial
developments within the City of Dublin. Staff feels that this program is a valuable economic development
tool that would help ease the up-front cost burden of commercial and industrial development in Dublin.
Staff is not recommending this program for residential developments. If it were available for residential
developments, tbe individual homeowncrs would end up paying the fees through the assessments, which
would include thc costs of issuance and interest. There is no way to assure that the sales prices of thc
homes would be reduced by these costs.
RECOMMENA nON: Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the public hearing, deliberate, and
adopt tbe proposed resolution entitlcd "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Dublin authorizing
the City to join the Statcwide Community Inrrastructure Program and authorizing the California Statewidc
Communities Development Authority to acccpt applications rrom property owners for non-residential
developments, conduct special assessment proceedings and levy asscssments within the territory ofthc
City of Dublin and authorizing related actions."

California Statewide Communities Development Authority
Statewide Community Infrastructure Program
SCIP
Introduction to SCIP
The California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA) is offering a
new program to cities and counties, which are members of CSeDA called the Statewide
Community Infrastructure Program ("SCIP''). SCIP is a pooled 6nancing mechanism,
which can be used to fund development impact fec.. Development impact fccs are one
of the primary means by which local agencies obtain revenueS to pay for road, water,
scwcr, parks, and othcr public improvements. SeIP offers the option to fund these fees
through the issuance of t913/1915 Act bonds. Thc program provides a cost-effective
6nancing tool, and considerable flexibility in funding development impact fees.
There arc two impact fee funding programs provided by serp: (1) the Impact Fec
Reimbursement Program, and (2) the Impact Fee Prcfunding Program. Impact fces
fundcd through either program must be used to pay for public improvemcnts and
infrastructure. Eligible fees generally includc any type of impact fce used to pay for
improvcments dedicated, owned and operated by the local agency. Eligible
improvements typically fmanced pursuant to thc 1913/1915 Act includc but are not
limited to:
Street and Roadway>
Freeway Interchanges
Geologic Hazard Abatement
Landscaping
Storm I )rainage:
Flood Control
Street Lighting
Parking
Sidewalks
Water Supply
Sewer and Pipelines
Parks and Parkways
SUP is open to all members of CSCDA. eSeDA is a joint powers authority sponsored
by the League of California Cities and thc California State Association of Counties.
Membership to CSCDA is open to cvcry California city and county and most are aheady
members. Once a member of eSDA to participate in SeIP rcquires the passage of a
simple rcsolution. Under SUP, the district formation proceedings, the issuance of
bonds, accounting for funds and subsequent administration are all handled by a gtoUP of
highly trained professionals. SCIP is designed to offer a tax-exempt pooled fmancing
program, which provides economies of scalc while greatly reducing cost of issuance and
improving interest rates for projccts of any size. Just as importantly, SCIP offcrs a
valuable tool when setting, çollccting and funding local dcvelopment impact fccs.

improving interest rates for projects of any size. Just as importantly, SCIP offers a
valuable tool when setting, collecting and funding loçal development impaçt fees.
Funding of Development Impact Fees
Development impact fees are collected in two fashions. The first and most prevalent is
through the issnance of building pennits. Typically, upon issuance of a permit, a
developer must pay a building permit fee and impact fees. The impact fees payable at
building permit are sçhedu1cs developed by each local agency, and must be consistent
with AB 1600, or a local development fee statute. "The impact fee schedules are
determined by type of improvement to mitigate impacts of new development_ Impact
fees collected in this fashion are a pay-as-you-go funding mechanism as the impact fees
paid when the building permit is issued arc deposited into respective improvement
funds. As the balance of the funds gtOWS, the money is used to pay for public
infrastructuJ:e.
The other method of collecting fees is tied to the development entitlement process_
Under this method, upon approval of a discretionary land entitlement, certain impact
fees become due and payable. For example, a loçal agency may require payment of all
or a portion of certain fees (e.g., park, roadway, water, sewer) upon initial approval of a
development agreement or a subdivision map. The money is paid "p-front and can be
pay for costs of improvements prior to issuance of building permits and development of
the project Fml<ling fees up front can help eliminate a bottleneck such as the need for a
new roadway or water system. It is on the basis of these two methods of paying
development impact fees in California that SCIP has designed its funding programs.
Impact Fee Reimbursement Progr..m_ The SCIP Impact Pee Reimbursement Program
fInances impact fees paid at building permit_ Currently, property OWner" have no choice
but to pay these fees, which can be substantial, in cash at the time a building permit is
issued. SCIP makes available to anyone paying a fee (even a single fee) the opportunity
to complete a sinlple and short application for the ne"t scrp bond issue_ The
landowner sublnits the application, cosigned by the local agency, along with a check for
the impact fees to the SCIP program administrator. The SCIP trustee holds the money
in an interest bearing scrp account set up when the city or county first becomes a
member of SCIP. If the appliçation is approved for funding by the SCIP underwriter,
the landowner is reimbursed from bond proceeds after the next bond sale. An
assessment is levied on the property payable over the 30 year term at a tax e"empt
interest rate. The city or county is not at risk since it receives cash at the time the
building permit is issued in the nonnal way, except it is held by the SCIP trustee instead
of being deposited to a local bank.
Imp..ct Fee Prefundlng Program. Since most inlpact fees arc paid at the time of issuance
of a building permit, this tends to stretch the period of payment of fees for a s"bdivision
or trulster plan area over a several year period_ The pay-as-you-go model can make it
difficult to construçt major infrastructure in advance of large new developments. A loçal
agency may have to delay a project, find interim financing, and may lose ground to
inflation and rising costs. The Impact Fcc Prefunding Program finances impact fees "p-
front in dollar amounts large enough to provide necessary funding for inÍtaet.ructure

before development. takes place, and prior to issuance of building permits_ r or example,
a developer may be required to pay the roadway portion of the impact fee at tentative
map for all the units approved in a subdivision. The local agency can then use the
money to complete a road necessary to remove a local transportation bottleneck. . The
developer submits an application to SCIP, and if approved, the fees are financed through
a SCIP bond isslIe. The Impact Fee Prcfunding Program is particularly important in
rapidly growing communities where the pace of development has outstripped the
capacity of older water, sewer and road systems to accommodate new growth, and not
enough funds have been çollected from building permits to pay for the necessary public
improvements_
All costs of both the Impact Fee Reimbursement Program and the Impact Fee
Pre funding Program are financed in the assessment, so the property owner ends up with
no up-rront payment to participate, except a nominal applieation fee and the cost of an
appraisal, if necessary. Thete is no minimum projeet size, so small- and medium·size
developments can obtain the benefits of cost-effective tax-exempt financing. SCIP will
collect applications for financing, and indude the amounts in it>; next bond issue,
although the bonds may be i..ued in one or more separatc program series at the
discretion of the SCIp underwriter.
Joining SCIP
In order to join SCIp, a local agency must be a member of CSCDA. eSeDA has over
350 members so it is very likely that a city or county interested in joining SCIp is already
a member. If not, there is no cost to join eSCDA, and it can be done by simple
Resolution. '1'0 join SCTP, a local agency will reçeivc a copy of the Sell' Proçedures
Manual. The book contains all of the material needed for reference and administration
of the program. The local agency will also be sent a SCTP Rewlution, which must be
adopted by the governing body at a publk hearing. The resolution only requires a
majority vote of those present rq>resenting a quorum. A staff report is sent to
accompany the Resolution, which can be edited to suit individual loçal agency
requirements and format_ The Resolution authorizes eSCDA to conduçt assessment
proceedings on behalf of the SCIP member. SCIP wnsultants are available to customize
the Resolution and staff report, and can be available ar the public hearing.
Applying to SCIP
The SCTP application process depends in part on rhe funding program. For the Impaçt
Fee Reimbursement Program, the property owner will fill our a short application form at
the time the building pcnnit is issued. The apphçation identifies the property and breaks
out the impact portion of the fees due. The property owner pays all the fees due in cash,
but rather than paying the fees to the local agency, the fees are paid to SCIP, and
deposited into the local agency SCIP acçount. The local agency may withdraw dle cash
at any time from rhe account, or may let the account açcumubte with interest. Upon
issuance of SCIp bonds, the property owner is reimbursed for the finançed fees, and the
bonds are payable through assessment installments levied on the landowner's property.

The Impact Fee Prefunding Program will tend to be for larger projects for which the
local agency requires that certain impact fees be paid as a condition of approval of
development entitlements. For this program, the developer and the local agency submit
an application to SCIP which is much broader in scope, and includes a description of the
project, its stage of development and entitlements, the amount of funding reque",ed and
a summary of the developer's experience with similar projects. The application should be
submitted during the time when the terms of land entitlements are being dctcrmined and
negotiated between the developer and the local agency. Under this program, the fees are
funded directly through the bonds, and paid to the local agency.
Financing
Funding through SCIP is done by the issuance of 30 year tax exempt assessment bonds
under the 1913 /1915 Act. With few exceptions, the bonds are sold as non-rated
securities. However, institutional and retail investors have become quite sophisticated in
assessing the credit quality of these securities. In general, the security offered to
investors is a fIxed lien assessment on real property, a reserve fund, and the underlying
value of the real '"tate. Under no circumstance will CSCDA, a local agency SCIP
member or SClP be required to make up any delinquent debt service payment on the
bonds.
During the application process, SCIP will conduct a thorough credit review of each
application. A condition of funding will be approved entitlements. For the Prefunding
Program, this will generally require a tentative subdivision map with all environmental
approvals (certifIed EIR, negative declaration, Army Corps and fIsh & wildlife permits).
Development agreements ate optional, and an issue to be decided upon between the
local agency and the developer. For the Reimbursement Program, a final subdivision
map must be recorded with appropriate subdivision security, as well as the issuance of a
building permit. Property or acreage, which has not received development entitlements,
is not eligible for funding. Generally speaking, entitlements will not be an i",ue for the
Reimbursement Program, but will need more through review for the Pre funding
Program.
The major component of the credit analysis will be a valuation of the property to be
assessed. For the Reimbursement Program, the owner must submit the current assessed
value, the amount of the building permit, and the building permit valuation prepared by
tile building department. For the Prefunding Program, an MAl apprÚsal must be
prepared which estimates the bulk or wholesale value of the project. Based on the credit
analysis, SCIP may aggtegate properties into separate program series depending on
value-to-lien ratios, ",ams of development, and whether the application is for the
Reimbursement or Prefunding Program. For either program, approved entitlements and
a nùnimum 3:1 value-to-lien ratio is required. Under the Reimbursement Program, the
property may need to be reassessed in order to meet the 3:1 ratio, although the owner
will have the option to pay for an appraisal.
Under typical assessment proceedings, the local agency adopts an engineer's report,
holds a public hearing and landowner vote, and issu," bonds representing the unpaid
aS8e",mems. Under SCIP, the assessment proceedings will be conducted by CSCDA.
4
åJ
566'2..1
A fter approval of the applications, the SCIP assessment engineer will prepare an
engineer's report. The engineer's reports will be aggregated on a county-by-county ba.sis
(including cities within a county), as counties will1cvy the assessment on the tax roll. As
part of the application process, each bndowner will be required to sign a consent and
waiver form agreeing to the assessm=t proceedings in advance, and waiving any right to
challenge. CSCDA will conduct a master set of proceedings for all SCIP members. After
a public hearing and landowner vote, the proceedings will cuhninate in the levy of a fixed
special assessment lien and the issuance of bonds.
SCIP Administration
Annual administration of the Districts will be performed by the SCIP assessm=t
administrator. The costs will be funded on an on-going basis through a charge added to
the annual levy as approved in the engineer's report. Tasks include calculation of annual
payments by property owners, preparation of the assessment levy report, which will be
placed on the County's property tax roll, segregation of assessmcnts, and publishing
notice of the assessments_ In addition, the SCIP assessmcnt administrator will handle
remedial action on delinquent assessments. In the unlikely event that assessment
payments are not brought curr=t on a timely basis, SCIP will pursue judicial foreclosure
on behalf of the issuer CSCDA. A prime advantage of the SUP program for local
agencies will be passing on of the assessment administration work to a staff of highly
trained consultants hired by SCIP. The SCIP administrator will have an 1-800 number
to call for information related to a specific parcel.
Funds will be held by SCIP trustce, and the accounting will be done by the SCIP
program administrator_ When a local agency joins SCIP, an acwunt will be set up based
on the city or county's own internal system for d'-'vclopment fee accounting. Each
month the local agency will get a report showing the balance in the account plus accrued
interest. The funds will invested in a managed investment account. The program
administrator will sclect the investment portfolio and credit each local agency with a
proportionate share of interest. Impact fees paid to SClP under the Reimbursement
Program are considered bond proceeds after issuance, and are subject to rebate. The
program administrator will handle all rebate and continuing disclosure requirements for
each member of SOP.
Conclusion
To conclude, SClP is de<igned to be a seamless and transparent financing mechanism for
local agencies to fund impact fees. Impact fees are becoming increasingly important in
California as a means to pay for thc cost of new infrastructure. SCIP has been
purposefully designed to fit with the way impact fees are collected by local ag=cies, and
to afford an efficient means to provide tax exempt bond financing. The program
benefits both the local agencies and property owners by providing another funding
option for both largc and small projects. Local agencies are relieved of the burden of
administration while still being able to provide flI1ancing to their constituents.

California Statewide CommunitIes Development Authority
Statewide Community Infrastructure Program
SCIP
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What Is SCIP?
The Statewide Community Infrastructure Program (SCIP) is a program sponsored by the
Califomia League of Cities and the California State Association of Counties to finance
development impact fees through the issuance of 1913/15 Act bonds.
2. What is CSCDA?
The Califomia Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA) is a Jomt
powers authority sponsored by the League of California Cities and the Califomia State
Association of Counties_ Nearly every city and County are members of CSCDA. In
2000, CSCDA was the 4th largest municipal bond issuer in the country.
3. Does SCIP How Work'!
SClP has two funding programs; 1) the Reimbursement Program and 2) the Prcfunding
Program. The Rcimburs.,ment Program reimburses developers for fees paid to the local
agency. The Pre funding Program pays the local agency directly for fees negotiated to be
paid earlier in the entitlement process than they normal1y otherwise be paid.
4. What are eligiblc development impact fees?
Fees paid to a local agency to mitigate the impact of dcvelopment and whieh will
ultimately be used by the local agency to pay for the costs of public inÍÌastructurc. The
fccs must be implcmcntcd undcr AB 1600 or a local fee statute. .
5. Why are Impact "'ees so Important
Impact fees are fees paid to local governmcnts to pay for thc cost associatcd with new
development. With limited ability to raise taxes, local agencies now rely on impact as a
major funding source for infrastructure. Statewide, impact fees have become a $4 to $5
bil1ion per year source of new funding.
DJ
II?JZI
6. How are Impact fees typically collected?
Impact fees are nonnally paid at the time a building pennit is issued or when a map is
recorded, and hence are a pay as you go fonn of financing. The Reimbursement Program
is designed to finance fees paid in this fashion.
7. How can Impact fees be madc to be paid in advance?
The local agency can negotiate with the developer to have the fees paid upon approval of
a specific plan, development agreement or tentative map. The fees are paid upfront as
opposed to pay as you go. Fees due in advance of development can be financed through
the SCIP Prefunding Program.
8. If we use SCIP and become a member of CSCDA, are we in any way liable for
payments or defaults of other participants
Absolutely not. If one participant were to defau1t, there would be no effect On the other
participants. There is no cross-collateralization of payments or assessments.
9. What Is the difference between an assessmeut lien aud an assessment bond?
The assessment lien is imposed on the parcel of land pursuant to the Municipal
Improvement Act of 1913. The Act authorizes an issuer to impose an assessment lien on
bencfited property to finance various public improvements. The Bonds are Limited
Obligation Improvement Bonds authorized under the Improvement Bond Act of 1915 and
secured by the liens imposed under the 1913 Act.
10. Is voter approval required?
No. There is no requirement for a genera] election. eSCDA will conduct a public
hearing and landowner ballot procedure to satisfY Proposition 218. Sincc a condition of
participation in SCIP is landowner consent, protests are not expected.
11. Is a local agency participant of the poolliablc to make any bond payments?
No. The bonds are limited obligation bonds, and under no circumstance is a local agcncy
pool participant liable from its genera1 fund or from any oth~'T revenue source. Moreover,
no landowner is responsible tor any other property owner if a payment is late.
12. How Is SCIP administered?
seIP is administered by highly trained and experienced consu1tants who prepare the tax
roll, disseminate continuing disclosure reports, handle delinquencies, and provide
accounting, investment and arbitrage rebate serviccs.
13. Wbat are the duties of a local agency participant aftcr the bonds are issued?
The only duties required arc to provide SelP consu1tants with infonnation concerning the
development such as recordation of subdivisions and changes in property ownership.
14. How does SClI' differ from a typical assessment district?
Sell' does not conduct acquisition proceedings whereby developers are directly
reimbursed for construclion of improvements. SCIP tùnds only impact fees paid to the
Local Agency. The Local Agency ultimately constructs the improvements, thereby
allowing thc Local Agency more flexibility to detennine what is actually funded.
åJ
J z.. 6ì;/- I
15. How does SCIP meet the benefit test?
The benefit test is met by the fact that the each property must pay the impact fee in order
to develop. This differs from typical assessment proceedings in that the benefit test is
tied to the improvement.
16. 00 commercial and industrial projects qualify?
Yes, in tact the permit fee program is ideal for commercial projects, which can pay
substantial impact fees but normally do not participate in bond financing. Examples
would be shopping centers of high-rise buildings.
17. How do you joiu SCIP?
The Local Agency must pass a SCIP Resolution, which consents to CSCDA condllcting
assessment proceedings On its behalf. Each Local Agency must approve and sign each
SCIP funding application.
18. How does a Local Agency Receive Funds?
To obtain funds, the Local Agency submits a requisition to be drawn on its SCIP account.
The SCIP account will be set up to reflect the local agencies own accounting system for
categories (road water, sewer etc) of impact fees.
