` CITY COUNCIL File #360-70
DATE: June 2, 2015
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Christopher L. Foss, City Manager "
SUBJECT: Community Facilities District Formation
Prepared by Colleen Tribby, Administrative Services Director
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will conduct a public hearing, hold a special mailed ballot election and conduct
related proceedings for the formation of the City of Dublin Community Facilities District No.
2015-1 (Dublin Crossing).
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The holding of the Public Hearing, the adoption of these resolutions, and the introduction of the
ordinance has no direct fiscal impact on the City. The costs associated with the formation of a
Community Facilities District are borne entirely by the developer, in this case SunCal. The
Community Facilities District will be self-sustaining, including compensation for the
administrative burden of managing it.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the Community Facilities District Report
prepared by Goodwin Consulting Group, Inc., conduct a public hearing regarding (a) the
establishment of Community Facilities District No. 2015-1 (Dublin Crossing) ("CFD No. 2015-1")
including designation of Improvement Area No. 1 and Future Annexation Area, and (b) deeming
it necessary to incur indebtedness for CFD No. 2015-1, and take the following actions:
1. Adopt a Resolution Forming and Establishing City of Dublin Community Facilities District
No. 2015-1 (Dublin Crossing) and Calling a Special Mailed-Ballot Election of the
Proposition of Levying the Special Taxes Within CFD No. 2015-1.
2. Adopt a Resolution Deeming it Necessary to Incur Indebtedness for Community
Facilities District No. 2015-1 (Dublin Crossing).
3. Adopt a Resolution Calling a Special Mailed-Ballot Election for Community Facilities
District No. 2015-1(Dublin Crossing).
Following the adoption of the above resolutions, Staff recommends that the City Clerk tabulate
the ballots cast in the special mailed ballot election to be held within CFD No. 2015-1 to enable
the qualified election of CFD No. 2015-1 to consider the ballot questions regarding (a)
Page 1 of 4 ITEM NO. 6.2
authorization to levy special taxes within CFD No. 2015-1, (b) the authorization to issue bonds
secured by the levy of such special taxes and (c) the establishment of an appropriations limit for
CFD No. 2015-1.
If the results of the special mailed-ballot election reveal that the propositions have received the
affirmative vote of two-thirds of the votes cast, Staff recommends that the City Council take the
following actions:
1. Adopt a Resolution Declaring the Results of the Special Mailed-Ballot Election for CFD
No. 2015-1 and Directing Recording of Notice of Special Tax Lien.
2. Introduce and Waive the First Reading of the Ordinance Levying Special Taxes Within
CFD No. 2015-1.

Assistant City Manager
DESCRIPTION:
In November 2013, the City Council adopted the Dublin Crossing Specific Plan (DCSP) relating
to the private development of approximately 189 acres on a portion of the Parks Reserve Forces
Training Area (Camp Parks) in the City of Dublin. The DCSP includes provisions for the
demolition of existing buildings and other improvements on the site and construction of a
residential mixed-use project with up to 1,995 single- and multi-family residential units; up to
200,000 square feet of retail, office and/or commercial uses; a 30-acre Community Park; a 5-
acre Neighborhood Park, and a 12-acre school site. The City Council also approved a
development agreement (DA) with Dublin Crossing Venture LLC (SunCal) related to the Dublin
Crossing project.
The DA outlines SunCal's intention to propose the formation of a Community Facilities District
(CFD), or districts, by the City pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982
(Mello-Roos Act) to finance public facilities. A CFD is a defined geographic area in which the
City is authorized to levy annual special taxes to be used to either finance directly the costs of
specified public improvements, or to pay debt service on bonds issued to finance the public
improvements, as well as to pay costs of administering the CFD. CFD formation can be initiated
either by a local agency or via a written petition from the registered voters or owners within a
proposed district. While the City is not ultimately obligated to approve the CFD, the DA specifies
that, upon receipt of a landowner's petition to form a CFD, the City must use its best efforts to
commence proceedings to form a CFD.
Prior to receiving SunCal's petition, City Staff worked with a team of consultants to commence
CFD formation proceedings. In January 2015, the City Council adopted Local Goals and
Policies guiding the City's use of the Mello-Roos Act, and approved a Deposit and
Reimbursement Agreement with SunCal to provide a mechanism for using developer funds to
cover City costs related to CFD formation proceedings.
Page 2 of 4
In April 2015, SunCal took ownership of a portion of the first of five improvement areas
(designated Improvement Area 1) planned for the property, and filed a landowner petition with
the City Clerk to form a CFD in that area, with the remaining improvement areas designated as
territory to be annexed into the CFD in the future. On April 21, 2015, the City Council approved
the Resolution of Intention for CFD No. 2015-1 and set the time and place for tonight's Public
Hearing regarding the CFD.
The next step in the CFD formation process is for the City Council to conduct tonight's Public
Hearing and special mailed ballot election and to take public testimony.
Public Hearing and Tonight's Actions
Tonight's Public Hearing will provide the public an opportunity to provide testimony related to the
formation of CFD No. 2015-1 and the CFD Report (Attachment 1) prepared by Goodwin
Consulting Group, Inc.. The CFD Report describes the CFD boundaries, the rate and method of
apportionment of the special taxes to be levied and the facilities to be financed by the CFD.
The proceedings to establish CFD No. 2015-1 will be accomplished by the adoption of the
resolutions and the introduction of an Ordinance Levying Special Taxes identified in the
recommended actions. Specifically, the City Council will be asked to consider the following
actions-
1. Adopt the Resolution of Formation. This resolution (a) establishes the initial boundaries of
CFD No. 2015-1, (b) designates the land within the initial boundary of CFD No. 2015-1 as
Improvement Area No. 1; (c) provides for the future annexation of the Future Annexation
Area in sequential portions, without additional hearing, as prescribed by the Act; (d)
authorizes the establishment of additional improvement areas with respect to such annexed
land or the annexation thereof to any then-existing improvement area; (e) identifies the types
of public and private utility capital facilities and capital facilities fees and the incidental
expenses which may be financed by CFD No. 2015-1; and (f), subject to voter approval, (i)
authorizes the levy of a special tax on the land within CFD No. 2015-1, (ii) provides the rate
and method of apportionment of the special tax, and (iii) establishes the initial annual
appropriations limitation for Improvement Area No. 1 of CFD No. 2015-1. It also sets out the
terms and conditions for a special mailed-ballot election to be conducted by the City Clerk as
the election official for a vote to be taken by the landowners of record. The registrar of
voters has certified that there are no registered voters within the proposed CFD, thus the
vote will be by the owners of land.
2. Adopt the Resolution Deeming it Necessary to Incur Indebtedness. This resolution
declares that bonds of the CFD No. 2015-1 may be issued, in an amount not to exceed $150
million, in order to finance the public capital improvements described in the resolution
establishing CFD No. 2015-1.
3. Adopt the Resolution Calling for the Special Mailed-Ballot Election for Community
Facilities District No. 2015-1 (Dublin Crossing)
After these resolutions are adopted, the City Clerk will open the ballots and state the results of
the special mailed ballot election. If the results of the special mailed ballot elections reveal that
the propositions have received the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the votes cast, the City
Council will then be asked to:
Page 3 of 4
4. Adopt the Resolution Declaring the Results of the Special Mailed-Ballot Election for
CFD No. 2015-1 and Directing Recording of Notice of Special Tax Lien. This resolution
confirms the results of the election and directing recording of a notice of the lien of the
special taxes. The City Clerk will complete the Canvass and Statement of Results of Election
attached as an exhibit to this resolution.
5. Introduce and Waive the First Reading of the Ordinance Levying Special Taxes Within
CFD No. 2015-1. This Ordinance authorizes the levy of a special tax on parcels of real
property on the secured property tax roll of Alameda County that are within the boundaries of
CFD No. 2015-1.
CONCLUSION AND NEXT STEPS:
The City Council may establish CFD No. 2015-1 only after conducting the public hearing and
only if no majority protest is filed to establishment of CFD No. 2015-1 or the levy of special taxes
is filed by the CFD landowners. Following tonight's public hearing, the proposed schedule to
complete the formation of the CFD is as follows:
• Record Notice of Special Tax Lien (within 15 days after tonight's meeting)
• Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance levying Special Tax, scheduled for June 16,
2015
• Effective Date of Special Tax Ordinance (30 days after adoption, anticipated to be July
16, 2015)
The resolutions and related documents have been prepared and reviewed by the City's finance
team, which includes bond counsel, disclosure counsel, financial advisor, and special tax
consultant.

(DUBLIN CROSSING)
INTRODUCTION
The City Council (the "City Council") of the City of Dublin (the "City") did,
pursuant to the provisions of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (the
"Law"), on April 21, 2015, adopt a resolution entitled, "Resolution of Intention to
Establish a Community Facilities District, to Designate Future Annexation Area, and
Subject to the Required Voter Approval, to Authorize Levy of a Special Tax and
Issuance and Sale of Special Tax Bonds" (the "Resolution of Intention"). In the
Resolution of Intention, the City Council expressly ordered the preparation of a written
Community Facilities District Report (the "Report") for the proposed City of Dublin
Community Facilities District No. 2015-1 (Dublin Crossing) (the "CFD").
The Resolution of Intention ordering the Report did direct that the Report
generally contain the following:
(a) A description of the facilities (the "Facilities") by type which will be
required to adequately meet the needs of the CFD.
(b) An estimate of the fair and reasonable cost of the Facilities including
the cost of acquisition of lands, rights-of-way and easements, any physical
facilities required in conjunction therewith and incidental expenses in connection
therewith, including the costs of the proposed bond financing and all other related
costs as provided in Section 53345.3 of the Act.
For particulars, reference is made to the Resolution of Intention for the CFD, as
previously approved and adopted by the City Council.
NOW, THEREFORE, the following data is submitted pursuant to the direction of
the City Council:
A. DESCRIPTION OF FACILITIES AND COST ESTIMATES. A general
description of the proposed Facilities and cost estimates for the Facilities are set forth in
Exhibit "A" attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof.
B. PROPOSED BOUNDARIES OF THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT.
The proposed boundaries of the CFD are those properties and parcels on which special
taxes may be levied to pay for the Facilities. The proposed boundaries initially included
in the CFD and designated as Improvement Area No. 1 are identified in the map entitled
"Proposed Boundaries of City of Dublin Community Facilities District No. 2015-1 (Dublin
Crossing), City of Dublin, County of Alameda, California" (the "CFD Boundary Map"),
which has been recorded on May 4, 2015 at Page 61 in Book 18 of Maps of
Assessment and Community Facilities Districts in the office of the County Recorder for
the County of Alameda. Additional property may be annexed into the CFD in future
years; the remaining improvement areas have been identified as "Future Annexation
Area" on the CFD Boundary Map, and the annexation of such property is discussed
further below.
C. ANNEXATIONS. In addition to the properties included in the initial CFD
boundaries, adjacent properties have been designated as Future Annexation Area.
Some or all of the property owners of the Future Annexation Area may choose to annex
into an existing improvement area or annex into one or more new improvement areas
within the CFD. By identifying the Future Annexation Area, these annexations will
simply require the unanimous consent of the property owner proposing to annex to the
CFD, without future action by the City Council. The maximum special tax rates for such
annexing property will depend on the improvement area into which the property is
annexed, as discussed in Section E below.
The designation of the Future Annexation Area does not preclude properties
outside this area from annexing into the CFD. However, if a property outside the Future
Annexation Area proposes to annex, there will be actions required at multiple City
Council meetings, including a public hearing and an election of the owner(s) of property
proposed for annexation. The maximum special tax rates for such properties would be
identified in a separate special tax formula adopted as part of the annexation
proceedings.
D. RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF SPECIAL TAX. A
separate Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax (the "RMA") has been
prepared for each of the five improvement areas. All of the property located within the
CFD boundaries, unless exempted by law or by the RMA, shall be taxed for the purpose
of financing the Facilities. The City will annually determine the actual amount of the
special tax levy based on the method and subject to the Maximum Special Tax rates
contained in the RMAs. The RMA for each of the respective Improvement Areas is
provided in Exhibits "B" through "F" attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof.
E. ISSUANCE OF BONDS. At the time of CFD formation, it was anticipated
that Facilities would be funded from the proceeds of multiple tax-exempt bond issues,
although the amount and timing of such issues will depend on the value of property
within the CFD, the timing of absorption of land uses, and other factors. Based on land
uses anticipated within Improvement Area No. 1, it is estimated that approximately
$21.1 million in net construction proceeds will be generated for Facilities. If additional
properties annex into the CFD, the net proceeds generated from the CFD will increase
based on the added special tax capacity generated from the annexed properties.
The maximum principal bond amount to be authorized for the CFD is $150
million. The estimated allocation of this amount to the five respective improvement
areas is as follows: (i) for Improvement Area No. 1, $46 million; (ii) for Improvement
Area No. 2, $34 million; (iii) for Improvement Area No. 3, $23 million; (iv) for
Improvement Area No. 4, $12 million; and (v) for Improvement Area No. 5, $35 million.

"Special Tax" means a Special Tax levied in any Fiscal Year to pay the Special Tax
Requirement.
"Special Tax Buffer" means a portion of the Maximum Special Tax Revenues that shall not
be used to size Bonds to avoid reducing debt service coverage on the Bonds to an amount
less than the Required Coverage. Prior to the Buffer Release, the Special Tax Buffer shall
be subtracted from the Maximum Special Tax Revenues in order to size the issuance of Bonds.
The Special Tax Buffer for Fiscal Year 2015-16 is $60,535, which amount shall be (i) escalated
each Fiscal Year by an amount equal to 2.0% of the amount in effect in the prior Fiscal Year,
(ii) adjusted if there are changes to the Expected Land Uses, as set forth in Sections D and E,
that result in an adjustment to the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues with the adjusted
Special Tax Buffer being equal to 4.0% of the new Expected Maximum Special Tax
Revenues, and (iii) reduced if and when the Administrator determines that Building Permits
issued within Improvement Area No. 1 will result in more Residential Units within the
smaller Square Footage Categories when compared to the Expected Land Uses. Each time
additional Building Permits are issued, the Administrator shall compare the Building Permits
issued to the Expected Land Uses and determine if there is a reduction in the Expected
Maximum Special Tax Revenues. Any such reduction shall be subtracted from the Special Tax
Buffer, and the reduced Special Tax Buffer shall, in the next Fiscal Year and each Fiscal
Year thereafter, be escalated by two percent (2%) of the amount in effect in the prior Fiscal
Year.
"Special Tax Requirement" means the amount necessary in any Fiscal Year (i) to pay principal
and interest on Bonds which are due in the calendar year which begins in such Fiscal Year, (ii) to
create and/or replenish reserve funds for the Bonds to the extent such replenishment has not been
included in the computation of Special Tax Requirement in a previous Fiscal Year, (iii) to cure
any delinquencies in the payment of principal or interest on Bonds which have occurred in the
prior Fiscal Year, (iv) to pay Administrative Expenses, and (v) to pay the costs of Authorized
Facilities so long as the direct payment for Authorized Facilities does not increase the Special
Taxes on Undeveloped Property. The Special Tax Requirement may be reduced in any
Fiscal Year by (i) interest earnings on or surplus balances in funds and accounts for the
Bonds to the extent that such earnings or balances are available to apply against debt service
pursuant to the Indenture or other legal document that sets forth these terms, (ii) proceeds from
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 1 5 May 6,2015
the collection of penalties associated with delinquent Special Taxes, and (iii) any other
revenues available to pay debt service on the Bonds as determined by the Administrator.
"Square Foot" or "Square Footage" means the square footage of a Residential Unit reflected
on a Building Permit, condominium plan, site plan, or other such document. If the Square
Footage shown on a site plan or condominium plan is inconsistent with the Square Footage
reflected on the Building Permit issued for construction of the Residential Unit, the Square
Footage from the Building Permit shall be used to determine the appropriate Square Footage
Category for the Residential Unit.
"Square Footage Category" means one of the six different categories of Single Family
Detached Property and Multi-Family Property set forth in Section C below.
"Taxable Homeowners Association Property" means, in any Fiscal Year, all Parcels of
Homeowners Association Property that are not exempt pursuant to Section H below.
"Taxable Non-Residential Property" means, in any Fiscal Year, all Parcels of Non-Residential
Property that are not exempt pursuant to Section H below.
"Taxable Property" means all of the Assessor's Parcels within the boundaries of Improvement
Area No. 1 which are not exempt from the Special Tax pursuant to law or Section Hbelow.
"Taxable Public Property" means, in any Fiscal Year, all Parcels of Public Property that are
not exempt pursuant to Section H below.
"Undeveloped Property" means, in any Fiscal Year, all Parcels of Taxable Property that are not
Developed Property.
B. DATA FOR ADMINISTRATION OF SPECIAL TAX
Each Fiscal Year, the Administrator shall (i) categorize each Parcel of Taxable Property as
Developed Property or Undeveloped Property, (ii) categorize each Parcel of Developed Property
as Single Family Detached Property, Multi-Family Property, or Taxable Non-Residential
Property, and (iii) determine if there is any Taxable Homeowners Association Property or
Taxable Public Property. For Multi-Family Property, the number of Residential Units shall be
determined by referencing the condominium plan, apartment plan, site plan or other development
plan. In addition, the Administrator shall, on an ongoing basis, track the current balance of the
Special Tax Buffer and determine whether the Buffer Release can take place.
In any Fiscal Year, if it is determined that: (i) a parcel map for property in Improvement Area
No. 1 was recorded after January 1 of the prior Fiscal Year (or any other date after which the
Assessor will not incorporate the newly-created Parcels into the then current tax roll), (ii)
because of the date the parcel map was recorded, the Assessor does not yet recognize the new
Parcels created by the parcel map, and (iii) one or more of the newly-created parcels is in a
different Development Class than other parcels created by the subdivision, the Administrator
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 1 6 May 6,2015
shall calculate the Special Tax for the property affected by recordation of the parcel map by
determining the Special Tax that applies separately to the property within each Development
Class, then applying the sum of the individual Special Taxes to the Parcel that was subdivided by
recordation of the parcel map.
C. MAXIMUM SPECIAL TAX
1. Developed Property
The following maximum Special Tax rates shall apply to all Parcels of Developed Property
within Improvement Area No. 1 for each Fiscal Year in which the Special Tax is levied and
collected:

*On July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter, the Maximum Special Taxes shown in Table 1 shall be
increased by an amount equal to 2.0%of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 1 7 May 6,2015
Once a Special Tax has been levied on a Parcel of Developed Property, the Maximum Special
Tax applicable to that Parcel shall not be reduced in future Fiscal Years because of changes in
land use on the Parcel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the actual Special Tax levied on a Parcel
of Developed Property in any Fiscal Year may be less than the Maximum Special Tax if the
Special Tax Requirement does not require the levy of the Maximum Special Tax pursuant to
Section F below.
2. Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable Homeowners Association Property and
Taxable Public Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable
Homeowners Association Property and Taxable Public Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
$269,300 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by an
amount equal to 2.0% of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
3. Undeveloped Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Undeveloped Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
$269,300 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by an
amount equal to 2.0% of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
D. LAND USE CHANGES
The Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 1, which is shown
in Attachment 1, was calculated based on the Expected Land Uses at CFD Formation. As set
forth in Section E herein, Attachment 1 shall be modified to reflect the Expected Land Uses and
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 1 if property is annexed
to Improvement Area No. 1. Attachment 1 is also subject to modification upon the occurrence of
Land Use Changes, as described below. The Administrator shall review all Land Use Changes
within Improvement Area No. 1 and compare the revised land uses to the Expected Land Uses
to evaluate the impact on the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues.
If,prior to the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in
the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this Section
D. Upon approval of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update Attachment 1 to
show the reduced Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall then be the
amount used to size Bond sales.
If, after the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in the
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this Section D
as long as the reduction in Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues does not reduce
debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage. Upon approval
of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update Attachment 1 to show the reduced Net
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall then be the amount used to size future
bond sales.
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 1 8 May 6,2015
If, after the first Bond sale, the Administrator determines that a proposed Land Use Change
would reduce debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage, a
prepayment must be made by the landowner requesting the Land Use Change in an amount
sufficient to retire Bonds in the amount necessary to maintain the Required Coverage.
E. ANNEXATIONS
If, in any Fiscal Year, a property owner within the Future Annexation Area wants to annex
property into Improvement Area No. 1, the Administrator shall apply the following steps as part
of the annexation proceedings:
Step 1. Working with City staff and the landowner, the Administrator shall determine the
number of Residential Units within each Square Footage Category that are
expected to be built within the area to be annexed.
Step 2. The Administrator shall prepare and keep on file an updated Attachment 1 that
adds the annexed property and identifies the revised Expected Land Uses,
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, and Special Tax Buffer for
Improvement Area No. 1. After the annexation is complete, the application of
Sections D, F and I of this RMA shall be based on the adjusted Expected Land
Uses and Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues including the newly
annexed property.
Step 3. The Administrator shall ensure that a Notice of Special Tax Lien is recorded
against all Parcels that are annexed to the CFD.
Step 4. The Administrator shall recalculate the Public Facilities Requirement used in the
prepayment calculation in Section I below to include the estimated net proceeds
that can be generated to fund Authorized Facilities based on the Maximum
Special Tax capacity from the annexed area. The adjusted Public Facilities
Requirement shall be calculated by (i) dividing the increased Expected Maximum
Special Tax Revenues that can be collected after the annexation by the Expected
Maximum Special Tax Revenues that were in place prior to the annexation, and
(ii) multiplying the quotient by the Public Facilities Requirement that was in
place prior to the annexation.
Step 5. The Administrator shall increase the acreage of exempt Public Property and
exempt Homeowners Association Property to include such acreage as estimated
in the area that was annexed.
F. METHOD OF LEVY OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Each Fiscal Year, the Administrator shall determine the Special Tax Requirement to be collected
in that Fiscal Year. A Special Tax shall then be levied according to the following steps:
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 1 9 May 6,2015
Step 1. In all Fiscal Years prior to the earlier of(i) the funding of all the Authorized
Facilities or (ii) the fifteenth Fiscal Year in which a Special Tax is levied on
Parcels in Improvement Area No. 1, the Maximum Special Tax shall be levied
on all Parcels of Developed Property. Pursuant to the flow of funds set forth
in the Indenture, any Special Tax proceeds collected that are not needed to
pay debt service on the Bonds, replenish reserves, or pay Administrative
Expenses shall be used to pay directly for Authorized Facilities.
After the Fiscal Year in which the earlier of the two dates set forth above
occurs, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of
Developed Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Developed Property until the amount levied is equal to the Special
Tax Requirement.
Step 2. If additional revenue is needed after Step 1 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Undeveloped Property.
Step 3. If additional revenue is needed after Step 2 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Homeowners Association Property up to 100% of the Maximum
Special Tax for each Parcel of Taxable Homeowners Association Property.
Step 4. If additional revenue is needed after Step 3 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Public Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Taxable Public Property.
G. MANNER OF COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAXES
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad
valorem property taxes, provided, however, that prepayments are permitted as set forth in
Section I below and provided further that the City may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect
Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner, and may collect delinquent Special
Taxes through foreclosure or other available methods.
The Special Tax shall be levied and collected until principal and interest on all Bonds have been
repaid, costs of constructing or acquiring Authorized Facilities have been paid, and all
Administrative Expenses have been paid or reimbursed. However, in no event shall Special
Taxes be levied after Fiscal Year 2050-51. Under no circumstances may the Special Tax on a
Parcel in residential use be increased in any Fiscal Year as a consequence of delinquency or
default in payment of the Special Tax levied on another Parcel or Parcels by more than ten
percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there never
been any such delinquencies or defaults.
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 1 10 May 6,2015
H. EXEMPTIONS
Notwithstanding any other provision of this RMA, no Special Tax shall be levied on up to
1.91 Acres of Public Property and 13.44 Acres of Homeowners Association Property in
Improvement Area No. 1, which acreage amounts will be adjusted with each annexation of
property into Improvement Area No. 1 as set forth in Section E above. Tax-exempt status will
be assigned by the Administrator separately to Public Property and Homeowners Association
Property in chronological order based on the date on which Parcels are transferred to a Public
Agency or the Homeowners Association. As of CFD Formation, there was no Non-Residential
Property expected within Improvement Area No. l; therefore, all Non-Residential Property in
Improvement Area No. 1 shall be Taxable Non-Residential Property for purposes of this RMA.
L PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The following definitions apply to this Section L
"Construction Fund" means the account (regardless of its name) identified in the
Indenture to hold funds which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or
construct Authorized Facilities.
"Outstanding Bonds" means all Previously Issued Bonds which remain outstanding,
with the following exception: if a Special Tax has been levied against, or already paid by,
an Assessor's Parcel making a prepayment, and a portion of the Special Tax will be used
to pay a portion of the next principal payment on the Bonds that remain outstanding (as
determined by the Administrator), that next principal payment shall be subtracted from
the total Bond principal that remains outstanding, and the difference shall be used as the
amount of Outstanding Bonds for purposes of this prepayment formula.
"Previously Issued Bonds" means all Bonds that have been issued prior to the date of
prepayment.
"Public Facilities Requirement" means either $21.1 million in 2015 dollars, escalated
two percent (2.0%) per year beginning July 1, 2016 and each July 1 thereafter, or such
lower number as shall be determined by the City as sufficient to fund the Authorized
Facilities.
"Remaining Facilities Costs" means the Public Facilities Requirement minus public
facility costs funded by Previously Issued Bonds or Special Taxes.
1. Full Prepayment
The Special Tax obligation applicable to an Assessor's Parcel in Improvement Area No. 1 may
be prepaid and the obligation of the Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax permanently
satisfied as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made only if there are no
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 1 11 May 6,2015
delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment. An
owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax obligation shall provide the
City with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of such written notice, the
City or its designee shall notify such owner of the prepayment amount for such Assessor's
Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 75 days prior to any redemption date for Bonds
to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes. Under no circumstance shall a
prepayment be allowed that would reduce debt service coverage below the Required Coverage.
The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as follows (capitalized terms as defined above or
below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Remaining Facilities Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Defeasance Requirement
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount shall be determined by
application of the following steps:
Step 1. Determine the greater of (i) the total Maximum Special Tax that could be
collected from the Assessor's Parcel prepaying the Special Tax in the Fiscal
Year in which prepayment would be received by the City, or (ii) the
Maximum Special Tax that could be collected from the Parcel at buildout
based on Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 2. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Step 1 for such
Assessor's Parcel by the lesser of(i) the Maximum Special Tax Revenue that
could be collected in that Fiscal Year from property in Improvement Area
No. 1, or (ii) the Maximum Special Tax revenues that could be
generated at buildout of property in Improvement Area No. 1 based on the
Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the Outstanding
Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and
prepaid (the `Bond Redemption Amount").
Step 4. Compute the current Remaining Facilities Costs (if any).
Step 5. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the amount determined
pursuant to Step 4 to compute the amount of Remaining Facilities Costs to be
prepaid (the "Remaining Facilities Amount").
Step 6. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to Step 3 by
the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be
redeemed (the "Redemption Premium").
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 1 12 May 6,2015
Step 7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption
Amount starting with the last Bond interest payment date on which interest
has been or will be paid by Special Taxes already levied until the earliest
redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds. If Bonds are callable at or prior
to the last Bond interest payment date on which interest has been or will
be paid by Special Taxes already levied, Steps 7, 8 and 9 of this
prepayment formula will not apply.
Step 8. Compute the amount of interest the City reasonably expects to derive from
reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption
Premium from the first Bond interest payment date after which the
prepayment has been received until the redemption date for the Outstanding
Bonds.
Step 9. Subtract the amount computed pursuant to Step 8 from the amount computed
pursuant to Step 7 (the "Defeasance Requirement").
Step 10. The administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment will be
determined by the Administrator and include the costs of computing the
prepayment, redeeming Bonds and recording any notices to evidence the
prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses").
Step 11. If, at the time the prepayment is calculated, the reserve fund is greater than or
equal to the reserve requirement, and to the extent so provided in the
Indenture, a reserve fund credit shall be calculated as a reduction in the
applicable reserve fund for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed pursuant
to the prepayment(the "Reserve Fund Credit").
Step 12. The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed
pursuant to Steps 3, 5, 6, 9, and 10, less the amount computed pursuant to
Step 11 (the "Prepayment Amount").
Step 13. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 6,
and 9 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the
Indenture and be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service
payments. The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 shall be deposited into
the Construction Fund. The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 shall be
retained in the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative
Expenses of Improvement Area No. 1.
Once a full prepayment has been received, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall be
recorded against the Parcel. However, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall not be
recorded until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years have
been collected.
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 1 13 May 6,2015
2. Partial Prepayment
A partial prepayment may be made in an amount equal to any percentage of full prepayment
desired by the party making a partial prepayment, except that the full amount of Administrative
Fees and Expenses determined in Step 10 shall be included in the partial prepayment. The
Maximum Special Tax that can be levied on a Parcel after a partial prepayment is made shall be
determined as follows:
Step 1. Calculate the full prepayment (not including the amount collected for
Administrative Fees and Expenses) that would be due from the Parcel if the
entire Special Tax obligation were being prepaid pursuant to Section L1
above.
Step 2. Divide the partial prepayment amount for the Parcel (not including the
amount collected for Administrative Fees and Expenses) by the amount
computed in Step 1 to determine a percentage.
Step 3. Subtract the percentage computed in Step 2 from 100% to determine the
"Remaining Percentage."
Step 4. Multiply the Remaining Percentage from Step 3 by the Maximum Special
Tax for the Parcel to determine the new Maximum Special Tax that will be
in effect for the Parcel after the partial prepayment is applied.
When a partial prepayment is received, the proceeds shall be deposited as follows:
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 in Section L1 shall be deposited
into the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative Expenses of
Improvement Area No. 1.
• The sum of the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 6, and 9 in Section L1
shall be multiplied by the percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section L2,
and the product shall be the amount deposited into the appropriate fund
established under the Indenture to be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or
make debt service payments.
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 in Section L 1 shall be multiplied by
the percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section L2, and the product shall
be the amount deposited into the Construction Fund.
Once a partial prepayment has been received, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall be
recorded against the Parcel. However, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall not be recorded
until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years have been
collected.
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 1 14 May 6,2015
J. INTERPRETATION OF SPECIAL TAX FORMULA
The City reserves the right to make minor administrative and technical changes to this document
that do not materially affect the rate and method of apportioning Special Taxes. In addition, the
interpretation and application of any section of this document shall be left to the City's
discretion. Interpretations may be made by the City by ordinance or resolution for purposes of
clarifying any vagueness or ambiguity in this RMA.

Taxes, and(iii) any other revenues available to pay debt service on the Bonds as determined by
the Administrator.
"Square Foot" or"Square Footage" means the square footage of a Residential Unit reflected
on a Building Permit, condominium plan, site plan, or other such document. If the Square

Each Fiscal Year, the Administrator shall (i) categorize each Parcel of Taxable Property
as Developed Property or Undeveloped Property, (ii) categorize each Parcel of Developed
Property as Single Family Detached Property, Multi-Family Property, or Taxable Non-
Residential Property, and (iii) determine if there is any Taxable Homeowners Association
Property or Taxable Public Property. For Multi-Family Property, the number of Residential
Units shall be determined by referencing the condominium plan, apartment plan, site plan or
other development plan. In addition, the Administrator shall, on an ongoing basis, track the
current balance of the Special Tax Buffer and determine whether the Buffer Release can take
place.
In any Fiscal Year, if it is determined that: (i) a parcel map for property in Improvement
Area No. 2 was recorded after January 1 of the prior Fiscal Year (or any other date after
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 2 6 May 6,2015
which the Assessor will not incorporate the newly-created Parcels into the then current tax roll),
(ii) because of the date the parcel map was recorded, the Assessor does not yet recognize the
new Parcels created by the parcel map, and (iii) one or more of the newly-created parcels is
in a different Development Class than other parcels created by the subdivision, the
Administrator shall calculate the Special Tax for the property affected by recordation of the
parcel map by determining the Special Tax that applies separately to the property within
each Development Class, then applying the sum of the individual Special Taxes to the Parcel
that was subdivided by recordation of the parcel map.
C. MAXIMUM SPECIAL TAX
1. Developed Property
The following maximum Special Tax rates shall apply to all Parcels of Developed
Property within Improvement Area No. 2 for each Fiscal Year in which the Special Tax is levied
and collected:

*On July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter, the Maximum Special Taxes shown in Table 1 shall be
increased by an amount equal to 2.0%of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 2 7 May 6,2015
Once a Special Tax has been levied on a Parcel of Developed Property,the Maximum Special
Tax applicable to that Parcel shall not be reduced in future Fiscal Years because of changes
in land use on the Parcel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the actual Special Tax levied on a
Parcel of Developed Property in any Fiscal Year may be less than the Maximum Special Tax
if the Special Tax Requirement does not require the levy of the Maximum Special Tax
pursuant to Section F below.
2. Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable Homeowners Association Property and
Taxable Public Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable
Homeowners Association Property and Taxable Public Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
$124,300 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by
an amount equal to 2.0% of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
3. Undeveloped Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Undeveloped Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16
is $124,300 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by
an amount equal to 2.0% of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
D. LAND USE CHANGES
The Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 2, which is
shown in Attachment 1, was calculated based on the Expected Land Uses at CFD Formation.
As set forth in Section E herein, Attachment 1 shall be modified to reflect the Expected Land
Uses and Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 2 if property
is annexed to Improvement Area No. 2. Attachment 1 is also subject to modification upon the
occurrence of Land Use Changes, as described below. The Administrator shall review all
Land Use Changes within Improvement Area No. 2 and compare the revised land uses to the
Expected Land Uses to evaluate the impact on the Expected Maximum Special Tax
Revenues.
If,prior to the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in
the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this
Section D. Upon approval of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update
Attachment 1 to show the reduced Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which
shall then be the amount used to size Bond sales.
If, after the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in
the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this
Section D as long as the reduction in Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues does
not reduce debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage.
Upon approval of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update Attachment 1 to
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 2 8 May 6,2015
show the reduced Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall then be the
amount used to size future bond sales.
If, after the first Bond sale, the Administrator determines that a proposed Land Use Change
would reduce debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage, a
prepayment must be made by the landowner requesting the Land Use Change in an amount
sufficient to retire Bonds in the amount necessary to maintain the Required Coverage.
E. ANNEXATIONS
If, in any Fiscal Year, a property owner within the Future Annexation Area wants to annex
property into Improvement Area No. 2, the Administrator shall apply the following steps as
part of the annexation proceedings:
Step 1. Working with City staff and the landowner, the Administrator shall determine
the number of Residential Units within each Square Footage Category that are
expected to be built within the area to be annexed.
Step 2. The Administrator shall prepare and keep on file an updated Attachment 1 that
adds the annexed property and identifies the revised Expected Land Uses,
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, and Special Tax Buffer for
Improvement Area No. 2. After the annexation is complete, the application of
Sections D, F and I of this RMA shall be based on the adjusted Expected Land
Uses and Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues including the newly
annexed property.
Step 3. The Administrator shall ensure that a Notice of Special Tax Lien is recorded
against all Parcels that are annexed to the CFD.
Step 4. The Administrator shall recalculate the Public Facilities Requirement used in
the prepayment calculation in Section I below to include the estimated net
proceeds that can be generated to fund Authorized Facilities based on the
Maximum Special Tax capacity from the annexed area. The adjusted Public
Facilities Requirement shall be calculated by (i) dividing the increased
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues that can be collected after the
annexation by the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues that were in place
prior to the annexation, and (ii) multiplying the quotient by the Public Facilities
Requirement that was in place prior to the annexation.
Step 5. The Administrator shall increase the acreage of exempt Public Property and
exempt Homeowners Association Property to include such acreage as estimated
in the area that was annexed.
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 2 9 May 6,2015
F. METHOD OF LEVY OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Each Fiscal Year, the Administrator shall determine the Special Tax Requirement to be
collected in that Fiscal Year. A Special Tax shall then be levied according to the following
steps:
Step 1. In all Fiscal Years prior to the earlier of(i) the funding of all the Authorized
Facilities or (ii) the fifteenth Fiscal Year in which a Special Tax is levied on
Parcels in Improvement Area No. 2, the Maximum Special Tax shall be
levied on all Parcels of Developed Property. Pursuant to the flow of funds
set forth in the Indenture, any Special Tax proceeds collected that are not
needed to pay debt service on the Bonds, replenish reserves, or pay
Administrative Expenses shall be used to pay directly for Authorized
Facilities.
After the Fiscal Year in which the earlier of the two dates set forth above
occurs, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of
Developed Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Developed Property until the amount levied is equal to the Special
Tax Requirement.
Step 2. If additional revenue is needed after Step 1 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each
Parcel of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax
for each Parcel of Undeveloped Property.
Step 3. If additional revenue is needed after Step 2 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Homeowners Association Property up to 100% of the Maximum
Special Tax for each Parcel of Taxable Homeowners Association Property.
Step 4. If additional revenue is needed after Step 3 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Public Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for
each Parcel of Taxable Public Property.
G. MANNER OF COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAXES
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary
ad valorem property taxes, provided, however, that prepayments are permitted as set forth in
Section I below and provided further that the City may directly bill the Special Tax, may
collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner, and may collect
delinquent Special Taxes through foreclosure or other available methods.
The Special Tax shall be levied and collected until principal and interest on all Bonds have
been repaid, costs of constructing or acquiring Authorized Facilities have been paid, and all
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 2 10 May 6,2015
Administrative Expenses have been paid or reimbursed. However, in no event shall Special
Taxes be levied after Fiscal Year 2050-51. Under no circumstances may the Special Tax on a
Parcel in residential use be increased in any Fiscal Year as a consequence of delinquency or
default in payment of the Special Tax levied on another Parcel or Parcels by more than ten
percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there
never been any such delinquencies or defaults.
H. EXEMPTIONS
Notwithstanding any other provision of this RMA, no Special Tax shall be levied on up to
20.35 Acres of Public Property and 16.97 Acres of Homeowners Association Property in
Improvement Area No. 2, which acreage amounts will be adjusted with each annexation of
property into Improvement Area No. 2 as set forth in Section E above. Tax-exempt status will
be assigned by the Administrator separately to Public Property and Homeowners Association
Property in chronological order based on the date on which Parcels are transferred to a
Public Agency or the Homeowners Association. As of CFD Formation, there was no Non-
Residential Property expected within Improvement Area No. 2; therefore, all Non-
Residential Property in Improvement Area No. 2 shall be Taxable Non-Residential Property
for purposes of this RMA.
L PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The following definitions apply to this Section L
"Construction Fund" means the account (regardless of its name) identified in the
Indenture to hold funds which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or
construct Authorized Facilities.
"Outstanding Bonds" means all Previously Issued Bonds which remain
outstanding, with the following exception: if a Special Tax has been levied against, or
already paid by, an Assessor's Parcel making a prepayment, and a portion of the
Special Tax will be used to pay a portion of the next principal payment on the Bonds
that remain outstanding (as determined by the Administrator), that next principal
payment shall be subtracted from the total Bond principal that remains outstanding,
and the difference shall be used as the amount of Outstanding Bonds for purposes of
this prepayment formula.
"Previously Issued Bonds" means all Bonds that have been issued prior to the date
of prepayment.
"Public Facilities Requirement" means either $20.8 million in 2015 dollars,
escalated two percent (2.0%) per year beginning July 1, 2016 and each July 1
thereafter, or such lower number as shall be determined by the City as sufficient to
fund the Authorized Facilities.
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 2 11 May 6,2015
"Remaining Facilities Costs" means the Public Facilities Requirement minus
public facility costs funded by Previously Issued Bonds or Special Taxes.
1. Full Prepayment
The Special Tax obligation applicable to an Assessor's Parcel in Improvement Area No. 2
may be prepaid and the obligation of the Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax
permanently satisfied as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made only
if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of
prepayment. An owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax
obligation shall provide the City with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of
receipt of such written notice, the City or its designee shall notify such owner of the
prepayment amount for such Assessor's Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 75
days prior to any redemption date for Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid
Special Taxes. Under no circumstance shall a prepayment be allowed that would reduce debt
service coverage below the Required Coverage. The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated
as follows (capitalized terms as defined above or below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Remaining Facilities Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Defeasance Requirement
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount shall be determined by
application of the following steps:
Step 1. Determine the greater of(i) the total Maximum Special Tax that could be
collected from the Assessor's Parcel prepaying the Special Tax in the Fiscal
Year in which prepayment would be received by the City, or (ii) the
Maximum Special Tax that could be collected from the Parcel at buildout
based on Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 2. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Step 1 for such
Assessor's Parcel by the lesser of (i) the Maximum Special Tax Revenue
that could be collected in that Fiscal Year from property in Improvement
Area No. 2, or (ii) the Maximum Special Tax revenues that could be
generated at buildout of property in Improvement Area No. 2 based on the
Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the Outstanding
Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and
prepaid (the `Bond Redemption Amount").
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 2 12 May 6,2015
Step 4. Compute the current Remaining Facilities Costs (if any).
Step 5. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the amount
determined pursuant to Step 4 to compute the amount of Remaining
Facilities Costs to be prepaid(the "Remaining Facilities Amount").
Step 6. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to Step 3 by
the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to
be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium").
Step 7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption
Amount starting with the last Bond interest payment date on which interest
has been or will be paid by Special Taxes already levied until the earliest
redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds. If Bonds are callable at or
prior to the last Bond interest payment date on which interest has been
or will be paid by Special Taxes already levied, Steps 7, 8 and 9 of this
prepayment formula will not apply.
Step 8. Compute the amount of interest the City reasonably expects to derive from
reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption
Premium from the first Bond interest payment date after which the
prepayment has been received until the redemption date for the
Outstanding Bonds.
Step 9. Subtract the amount computed pursuant to Step 8 from the amount
computed pursuant to Step 7 (the "Defeasance Requirement").
Step 10. The administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment will
be determined by the Administrator and include the costs of computing the
prepayment, redeeming Bonds and recording any notices to evidence the
prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and
Expenses").
Step 11. If, at the time the prepayment is calculated, the reserve fund is greater than
or equal to the reserve requirement, and to the extent so provided in the
Indenture, a reserve fund credit shall be calculated as a reduction in the
applicable reserve fund for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed
pursuant to the prepayment(the"Reserve Fund Credit").
Step 12. The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed
pursuant to Steps 3, 5, 6, 9, and 10, less the amount computed pursuant to
Step 11 (the "Prepayment Amount").
Step 13. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3,
6, and 9 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the
Indenture and be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service
payments. The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 shall be deposited into
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 2 13 May 6,2015
the Construction Fund. The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 shall be
retained in the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative
Expenses of Improvement Area No. 2.
Once a full prepayment has been received, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall
be recorded against the Parcel. However, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall
not be recorded until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal
Years have been collected.
2. Partial Prepayment
A partial prepayment may be made in an amount equal to any percentage of full
prepayment desired by the party making a partial prepayment, except that the full amount of
Administrative Fees and Expenses determined in Step 10 shall be included in the partial
prepayment. The Maximum Special Tax that can be levied on a Parcel after a partial
prepayment is made shall be determined as follows:
Step 1. Calculate the full prepayment (not including the amount collected for
Administrative Fees and Expenses) that would be due from the Parcel if
the entire Special Tax obligation were being prepaid pursuant to Section L 1
above.
Step 2. Divide the partial prepayment amount for the Parcel (not including the
amount collected for Administrative Fees and Expenses) by the amount
computed in Step 1 to determine a percentage.
Step 3. Subtract the percentage computed in Step 2 from 100% to determine the
"Remaining Percentage."
Step 4. Multiply the Remaining Percentage from Step 3 by the Maximum Special
Tax for the Parcel to determine the new Maximum Special Tax that will
be in effect for the Parcel after the partial prepayment is applied.
When a partial prepayment is received, the proceeds shall be deposited as follows:
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 in Section L1 shall be deposited
into the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative Expenses
of Improvement Area No. 2.
• The sum of the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 6, and 9 in Section
L1 shall be multiplied by the percentage determined in Step 2 of this
Section L2, and the product shall be the amount deposited into the
appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used to retire
Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments.
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 2 14 May 6,2015
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 in Section Ll shall be multiplied
by the percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section L2, and the product
shall be the amount deposited into the Construction Fund.
Once a partial prepayment has been received, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall be
recorded against the Parcel. However, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall not be
recorded until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years
have been collected.
J. INTERPRETATION OF SPECIAL TAX FORMULA
The City reserves the right to make minor administrative and technical changes to this
document that do not materially affect the rate and method of apportioning Special Taxes. In
addition, the interpretation and application of any section of this document shall be left to the
City's discretion. Interpretations may be made by the City by ordinance or resolution for
purposes of clarifying any vagueness or ambiguity in this RMA.

RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
A Special Tax applicable to each Assessor's Parcel in Improvement Area No. 3 of the City of
Dublin Community Facilities District No. 2015-1 (Dublin Crossing) shall be levied and collected
according to the tax liability determined by the City or its designee, through the application of
the appropriate amount or rate for Taxable Property, as described herein. All of the property in

Developed Property or Undeveloped Property, (ii) categorize each Parcel of Developed Property
as Single Family Detached Property, Multi-Family Property, or Taxable Non-Residential
Property, and (iii) determine if there is any Taxable Homeowners Association Property or
Taxable Public Property. For Multi-Family Property, the number of Residential Units shall be
determined by referencing the condominium plan, apartment plan, site plan or other development
plan. In addition, the Administrator shall, on an ongoing basis, track the current balance of the
Special Tax Buffer and determine whether the Buffer Release can take place.
In any Fiscal Year, if it is determined that: (i) a parcel map for property in Improvement Area
No. 3 was recorded after January 1 of the prior Fiscal Year (or any other date after which the
Assessor will not incorporate the newly-created Parcels into the then current tax roll), (ii)
because of the date the parcel map was recorded, the Assessor does not yet recognize the new
Parcels created by the parcel map, and (iii) one or more of the newly-created parcels is in a
different Development Class than other parcels created by the subdivision, the Administrator
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 3 6 May 6,2015
shall calculate the Special Tax for the property affected by recordation of the parcel map by
determining the Special Tax that applies separately to the property within each Development
Class, then applying the sum of the individual Special Taxes to the Parcel that was subdivided by
recordation of the parcel map.
C. MAXIMUM SPECIAL TAX
1. Developed Property
The following maximum Special Tax rates shall apply to all Parcels of Developed Property
within Improvement Area No. 3 for each Fiscal Year in which the Special Tax is levied and
collected:

*On July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter, the Maximum Special Taxes shown in Table 1 shall be
increased by an amount equal to 2.0%of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 3 7 May 6,2015
Once a Special Tax has been levied on a Parcel of Developed Property, the Maximum Special
Tax applicable to that Parcel shall not be reduced in future Fiscal Years because of changes in
land use on the Parcel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the actual Special Tax levied on a Parcel
of Developed Property in any Fiscal Year may be less than the Maximum Special Tax if the
Special Tax Requirement does not require the levy of the Maximum Special Tax pursuant to
Section F below.
2. Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable Homeowners Association Property and
Taxable Public Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable
Homeowners Association Property and Taxable Public Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
$190,400 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by an
amount equal to 2.0% of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
3. Undeveloped Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Undeveloped Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
$190,400 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by an
amount equal to 2.0% of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
D. LAND USE CHANGES
The Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 3, which is shown
in Attachment 1, was calculated based on the Expected Land Uses at CFD Formation. As set
forth in Section E herein, Attachment 1 shall be modified to reflect the Expected Land Uses and
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 3 if property is annexed
to Improvement Area No. 3. Attachment 1 is also subject to modification upon the occurrence of
Land Use Changes, as described below. The Administrator shall review all Land Use Changes
within Improvement Area No. 3 and compare the revised land uses to the Expected Land Uses
to evaluate the impact on the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues.
If,prior to the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in
the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this Section
D. Upon approval of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update Attachment 1 to
show the reduced Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall then be the
amount used to size Bond sales.
If, after the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in the
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this Section D
as long as the reduction in Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues does not reduce
debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage. Upon approval
of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update Attachment 1 to show the reduced Net
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall then be the amount used to size future
bond sales.
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 3 8 May 6,2015
If, after the first Bond sale, the Administrator determines that a proposed Land Use Change
would reduce debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage, a
prepayment must be made by the landowner requesting the Land Use Change in an amount
sufficient to retire Bonds in the amount necessary to maintain the Required Coverage.
E. ANNEXATIONS
If, in any Fiscal Year, a property owner within the Future Annexation Area wants to annex
property into Improvement Area No. 3, the Administrator shall apply the following steps as part
of the annexation proceedings:
Step 1. Working with City staff and the landowner, the Administrator shall determine the
number of Residential Units within each Square Footage Category that are
expected to be built within the area to be annexed.
Step 2. The Administrator shall prepare and keep on file an updated Attachment 1 that
adds the annexed property and identifies the revised Expected Land Uses,
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, and Special Tax Buffer for
Improvement Area No. 3. After the annexation is complete, the application of
Sections D, F and I of this RMA shall be based on the adjusted Expected Land
Uses and Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues including the newly
annexed property.
Step 3. The Administrator shall ensure that a Notice of Special Tax Lien is recorded
against all Parcels that are annexed to the CFD.
Step 4. The Administrator shall recalculate the Public Facilities Requirement used in the
prepayment calculation in Section I below to include the estimated net proceeds
that can be generated to fund Authorized Facilities based on the Maximum
Special Tax capacity from the annexed area. The adjusted Public Facilities
Requirement shall be calculated by (i) dividing the increased Expected Maximum
Special Tax Revenues that can be collected after the annexation by the Expected
Maximum Special Tax Revenues that were in place prior to the annexation, and
(ii) multiplying the quotient by the Public Facilities Requirement that was in
place prior to the annexation.
Step 5. The Administrator shall increase the acreage of exempt Public Property and
exempt Homeowners Association Property to include such acreage as estimated
in the area that was annexed.
F. METHOD OF LEVY OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Each Fiscal Year, the Administrator shall determine the Special Tax Requirement to be collected
in that Fiscal Year. A Special Tax shall then be levied according to the following steps:
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 3 9 May 6,2015
Step 1. In all Fiscal Years prior to the earlier of(i) the funding of all the Authorized
Facilities or (ii) the fifteenth Fiscal Year in which a Special Tax is levied on
Parcels in Improvement Area No. 3, the Maximum Special Tax shall be levied
on all Parcels of Developed Property. Pursuant to the flow of funds set forth
in the Indenture, any Special Tax proceeds collected that are not needed to
pay debt service on the Bonds, replenish reserves, or pay Administrative
Expenses shall be used to pay directly for Authorized Facilities.
After the Fiscal Year in which the earlier of the two dates set forth above
occurs, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of
Developed Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Developed Property until the amount levied is equal to the Special
Tax Requirement.
Step 2. If additional revenue is needed after Step 1 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Undeveloped Property.
Step 3. If additional revenue is needed after Step 2 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Homeowners Association Property up to 100% of the Maximum
Special Tax for each Parcel of Taxable Homeowners Association Property.
Step 4. If additional revenue is needed after Step 3 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Public Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Taxable Public Property.
G. MANNER OF COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAXES
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad
valorem property taxes, provided, however, that prepayments are permitted as set forth in
Section I below and provided further that the City may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect
Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner, and may collect delinquent Special
Taxes through foreclosure or other available methods.
The Special Tax shall be levied and collected until principal and interest on all Bonds have been
repaid, costs of constructing or acquiring Authorized Facilities have been paid, and all
Administrative Expenses have been paid or reimbursed. However, in no event shall Special
Taxes be levied after Fiscal Year 2050-51. Under no circumstances may the Special Tax on a
Parcel in residential use be increased in any Fiscal Year as a consequence of delinquency or
default in payment of the Special Tax levied on another Parcel or Parcels by more than ten
percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there never
been any such delinquencies or defaults.
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 3 10 May 6,2015
H. EXEMPTIONS
Notwithstanding any other provision of this RMA, no Special Tax shall be levied on up to 28.15
Acres of Public Property and 10.81 Acres of Homeowners Association Property in Improvement
Area No. 3, which acreage amounts will be adjusted with each annexation of property into
Improvement Area No. 3 as set forth in Section E above. Tax-exempt status will be assigned by
the Administrator separately to Public Property and Homeowners Association Property in
chronological order based on the date on which Parcels are transferred to a Public Agency or the
Homeowners Association. As of CFD Formation, there was no Non-Residential Property
expected within Improvement Area No. 3; therefore, all Non-Residential Property in
Improvement Area No. 3 shall be Taxable Non-Residential Property for purposes of this RMA.
L PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The following definitions apply to this Section L
"Construction Fund" means the account (regardless of its name) identified in the
Indenture to hold funds which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or
construct Authorized Facilities.
"Outstanding Bonds" means all Previously Issued Bonds which remain outstanding,
with the following exception: if a Special Tax has been levied against, or already paid by,
an Assessor's Parcel making a prepayment, and a portion of the Special Tax will be used
to pay a portion of the next principal payment on the Bonds that remain outstanding (as
determined by the Administrator), that next principal payment shall be subtracted from
the total Bond principal that remains outstanding, and the difference shall be used as the
amount of Outstanding Bonds for purposes of this prepayment formula.
"Previously Issued Bonds" means all Bonds that have been issued prior to the date of
prepayment.
"Public Facilities Requirement" means either $13.4 million in 2015 dollars, escalated
two percent (2.0%) per year beginning July 1, 2016 and each July 1 thereafter, or such
lower number as shall be determined by the City as sufficient to fund the Authorized
Facilities.
"Remaining Facilities Costs" means the Public Facilities Requirement minus public
facility costs funded by Previously Issued Bonds or Special Taxes.
1. Full Prepayment
The Special Tax obligation applicable to an Assessor's Parcel in Improvement Area No. 3 may
be prepaid and the obligation of the Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax permanently
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 3 11 May 6,2015
satisfied as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made only if there are no
delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment. An
owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax obligation shall provide the
City with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of such written notice, the
City or its designee shall notify such owner of the prepayment amount for such Assessor's
Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 75 days prior to any redemption date for Bonds
to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes. Under no circumstance shall a
prepayment be allowed that would reduce debt service coverage below the Required Coverage.
The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as follows (capitalized terms as defined above or
below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Remaining Facilities Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Defeasance Requirement
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount shall be determined by
application of the following steps:
Step 1. Determine the greater of (i) the total Maximum Special Tax that could be
collected from the Assessor's Parcel prepaying the Special Tax in the Fiscal
Year in which prepayment would be received by the City, or (ii) the
Maximum Special Tax that could be collected from the Parcel at buildout
based on Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 2. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Step 1 for such
Assessor's Parcel by the lesser of(i) the Maximum Special Tax Revenue that
could be collected in that Fiscal Year from property in Improvement Area
No. 3, or (ii) the Maximum Special Tax revenues that could be
generated at buildout of property in Improvement Area No. 3 based on the
Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the Outstanding
Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and
prepaid (the `Bond Redemption Amount").
Step 4. Compute the current Remaining Facilities Costs (if any).
Step 5. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the amount determined
pursuant to Step 4 to compute the amount of Remaining Facilities Costs to be
prepaid (the "Remaining Facilities Amount").
Step 6. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to Step 3 by
the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be
redeemed (the "Redemption Premium").
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 3 12 May 6,2015
Step 7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption
Amount starting with the last Bond interest payment date on which interest
has been or will be paid by Special Taxes already levied until the earliest
redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds. If Bonds are callable at or prior
to the last Bond interest payment date on which interest has been or will
be paid by Special Taxes already levied, Steps 7, 8 and 9 of this
prepayment formula will not apply.
Step 8. Compute the amount of interest the City reasonably expects to derive from
reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption
Premium from the first Bond interest payment date after which the
prepayment has been received until the redemption date for the Outstanding
Bonds.
Step 9. Subtract the amount computed pursuant to Step 8 from the amount computed
pursuant to Step 7 (the "Defeasance Requirement").
Step 10. The administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment will be
determined by the Administrator and include the costs of computing the
prepayment, redeeming Bonds and recording any notices to evidence the
prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses").
Step 11. If, at the time the prepayment is calculated, the reserve fund is greater than or
equal to the reserve requirement, and to the extent so provided in the
Indenture, a reserve fund credit shall be calculated as a reduction in the
applicable reserve fund for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed pursuant
to the prepayment(the "Reserve Fund Credit").
Step 12. The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed
pursuant to Steps 3, 5, 6, 9, and 10, less the amount computed pursuant to
Step 11 (the "Prepayment Amount").
Step 13. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 6,
and 9 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the
Indenture and be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service
payments. The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 shall be deposited into
the Construction Fund. The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 shall be
retained in the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative
Expenses of Improvement Area No. 3.
Once a full prepayment has been received, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall be
recorded against the Parcel. However, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall not be
recorded until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years have
been collected.
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 3 13 May 6,2015
2. Partial Prepayment
A partial prepayment may be made in an amount equal to any percentage of full prepayment
desired by the party making a partial prepayment, except that the full amount of Administrative
Fees and Expenses determined in Step 10 shall be included in the partial prepayment. The
Maximum Special Tax that can be levied on a Parcel after a partial prepayment is made shall be
determined as follows:
Step 1. Calculate the full prepayment (not including the amount collected for
Administrative Fees and Expenses) that would be due from the Parcel if the
entire Special Tax obligation were being prepaid pursuant to Section L1
above.
Step 2. Divide the partial prepayment amount for the Parcel (not including the
amount collected for Administrative Fees and Expenses) by the amount
computed in Step 1 to determine a percentage.
Step 3. Subtract the percentage computed in Step 2 from 100% to determine the
"Remaining Percentage."
Step 4. Multiply the Remaining Percentage from Step 3 by the Maximum Special
Tax for the Parcel to determine the new Maximum Special Tax that will be
in effect for the Parcel after the partial prepayment is applied.
When a partial prepayment is received, the proceeds shall be deposited as follows:
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 in Section L1 shall be deposited
into the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative Expenses of
Improvement Area No. 3.
• The sum of the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 6, and 9 in Section L1
shall be multiplied by the percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section L2,
and the product shall be the amount deposited into the appropriate fund
established under the Indenture to be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or
make debt service payments.
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 in Section L 1 shall be multiplied by
the percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section L2, and the product shall
be the amount deposited into the Construction Fund.
Once a partial prepayment has been received, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall be
recorded against the Parcel. However, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall not be recorded
until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years have been
collected.

as Single Family Detached Property, Multi-Family Property, or Taxable Non-Residential
Property, and (iii) determine if there is any Taxable Homeowners Association Property or
Taxable Public Property. For Multi-Family Property, the number of Residential Units shall be
determined by referencing the condominium plan, apartment plan, site plan or other development
plan. In addition, the Administrator shall, on an ongoing basis, track the current balance of the
Special Tax Buffer and determine whether the Buffer Release can take place.
In any Fiscal Year, if it is determined that: (i) a parcel map for property in Improvement Area
No. 4 was recorded after January 1 of the prior Fiscal Year (or any other date after which
the Assessor will not incorporate the newly-created Parcels into the then current tax roll), (ii)
because of the date the parcel map was recorded, the Assessor does not yet recognize the new
Parcels created by the parcel map, and (iii) one or more of the newly-created parcels is in a
different Development Class than other parcels created by the subdivision, the Administrator
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 4 6 May 6,2015
shall calculate the Special Tax for the property affected by recordation of the parcel map by
determining the Special Tax that applies separately to the property within each Development
Class, then applying the sum of the individual Special Taxes to the Parcel that was subdivided by
recordation of the parcel map.
C. MAXIMUM SPECIAL TAX
1. Developed Property
The following maximum Special Tax rates shall apply to all Parcels of Developed Property
within Improvement Area No. 4 for each Fiscal Year in which the Special Tax is levied and
collected:

*On July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter, the Maximum Special Taxes shown in Table 1 shall be
increased by an amount equal to 2.0%of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 4 7 May 6,2015
Once a Special Tax has been levied on a Parcel of Developed Property, the Maximum Special
Tax applicable to that Parcel shall not be reduced in future Fiscal Years because of changes in
land use on the Parcel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the actual Special Tax levied on a Parcel
of Developed Property in any Fiscal Year may be less than the Maximum Special Tax if the
Special Tax Requirement does not require the levy of the Maximum Special Tax pursuant to
Section F below.
2. Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable Homeowners Association Property and
Taxable Public Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable
Homeowners Association Property and Taxable Public Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
$78,700 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by an
amount equal to 2.0% of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
3. Undeveloped Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Undeveloped Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
$78,700 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by an
amount equal to 2.0% of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
D. LAND USE CHANGES
The Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 4, which is shown
in Attachment 1, was calculated based on the Expected Land Uses at CFD Formation. As set
forth in Section E herein, Attachment 1 shall be modified to reflect the Expected Land Uses and
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 4 if property is annexed
to Improvement Area No. 4. Attachment 1 is also subject to modification upon the occurrence of
Land Use Changes, as described below. The Administrator shall review all Land Use Changes
within Improvement Area No. 4 and compare the revised land uses to the Expected Land Uses
to evaluate the impact on the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues.
If,prior to the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in
the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this Section
D. Upon approval of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update Attachment 1 to
show the reduced Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall then be the
amount used to size Bond sales.
If, after the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in the
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this Section D
as long as the reduction in Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues does not reduce
debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage. Upon approval
of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update Attachment 1 to show the reduced Net
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall then be the amount used to size future
bond sales.
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 4 8 May 6,2015
If, after the first Bond sale, the Administrator determines that a proposed Land Use Change
would reduce debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage, a
prepayment must be made by the landowner requesting the Land Use Change in an amount
sufficient to retire Bonds in the amount necessary to maintain the Required Coverage.
E. ANNEXATIONS
If, in any Fiscal Year, a property owner within the Future Annexation Area wants to annex
property into Improvement Area No. 4, the Administrator shall apply the following steps as part
of the annexation proceedings:
Step 1. Working with City staff and the landowner, the Administrator shall determine the
number of Residential Units within each Square Footage Category that are
expected to be built within the area to be annexed.
Step 2. The Administrator shall prepare and keep on file an updated Attachment 1 that
adds the annexed property and identifies the revised Expected Land Uses,
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, and Special Tax Buffer for
Improvement Area No. 4. After the annexation is complete, the application of
Sections D, F and I of this RMA shall be based on the adjusted Expected Land
Uses and Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues including the newly
annexed property.
Step 3. The Administrator shall ensure that a Notice of Special Tax Lien is recorded
against all Parcels that are annexed to the CFD.
Step 4. The Administrator shall recalculate the Public Facilities Requirement used in the
prepayment calculation in Section I below to include the estimated net proceeds
that can be generated to fund Authorized Facilities based on the Maximum
Special Tax capacity from the annexed area. The adjusted Public Facilities
Requirement shall be calculated by (i) dividing the increased Expected Maximum
Special Tax Revenues that can be collected after the annexation by the Expected
Maximum Special Tax Revenues that were in place prior to the annexation, and
(ii) multiplying the quotient by the Public Facilities Requirement that was in
place prior to the annexation.
Step 5. The Administrator shall increase the acreage of exempt Public Property and
exempt Homeowners Association Property to include such acreage as estimated
in the area that was annexed.
F. METHOD OF LEVY OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Each Fiscal Year, the Administrator shall determine the Special Tax Requirement to be collected
in that Fiscal Year. A Special Tax shall then be levied according to the following steps:
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 4 9 May 6,2015
Step 1. In all Fiscal Years prior to the earlier of(i) the funding of all the Authorized
Facilities or (ii) the fifteenth Fiscal Year in which a Special Tax is levied on
Parcels in Improvement Area No. 4, the Maximum Special Tax shall be levied
on all Parcels of Developed Property. Pursuant to the flow of funds set forth
in the Indenture, any Special Tax proceeds collected that are not needed to
pay debt service on the Bonds, replenish reserves, or pay Administrative
Expenses shall be used to pay directly for Authorized Facilities.
After the Fiscal Year in which the earlier of the two dates set forth above
occurs, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of
Developed Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Developed Property until the amount levied is equal to the Special
Tax Requirement.
Step 2. If additional revenue is needed after Step 1 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Undeveloped Property.
Step 3. If additional revenue is needed after Step 2 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Homeowners Association Property up to 100% of the Maximum
Special Tax for each Parcel of Taxable Homeowners Association Property.
Step 4. If additional revenue is needed after Step 3 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Public Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Taxable Public Property.
G. MANNER OF COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAXES
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad
valorem property taxes, provided, however, that prepayments are permitted as set forth in
Section I below and provided further that the City may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect
Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner, and may collect delinquent Special
Taxes through foreclosure or other available methods.
The Special Tax shall be levied and collected until principal and interest on all Bonds have been
repaid, costs of constructing or acquiring Authorized Facilities have been paid, and all
Administrative Expenses have been paid or reimbursed. However, in no event shall Special
Taxes be levied after Fiscal Year 2050-51. Under no circumstances may the Special Tax on a
Parcel in residential use be increased in any Fiscal Year as a consequence of delinquency or
default in payment of the Special Tax levied on another Parcel or Parcels by more than ten
percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there never
been any such delinquencies or defaults.
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 4 10 May 6,2015
H. EXEMPTIONS
Notwithstanding any other provision of this RMA, no Special Tax shall be levied on up to
14.54 Acres of Public Property and 6.49 Acres of Homeowners Association Property in
Improvement Area No. 4, which acreage amounts will be adjusted with each annexation of
property into Improvement Area No. 4 as set forth in Section E above. Tax-exempt status will
be assigned by the Administrator separately to Public Property and Homeowners Association
Property in chronological order based on the date on which Parcels are transferred to a Public
Agency or the Homeowners Association. As of CFD Formation, there was no Non-Residential
Property expected within Improvement Area No. 4; therefore, all Non-Residential Property in
Improvement Area No. 4 shall be Taxable Non-Residential Property for purposes of this RMA.

"Construction Fund" means the account (regardless of its name) identified in the
Indenture to hold funds which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or
construct Authorized Facilities.
"Outstanding Bonds" means all Previously Issued Bonds which remain outstanding,

to pay a portion of the next principal payment on the Bonds that remain outstanding (as
determined by the Administrator), that next principal payment shall be subtracted from
the total Bond principal that remains outstanding, and the difference shall be used as the
amount of Outstanding Bonds for purposes of this prepayment formula.

delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment. An
owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax obligation shall provide the
City with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of such written notice, the
City or its designee shall notify such owner of the prepayment amount for such Assessor's
Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 75 days prior to any redemption date for Bonds
to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes. Under no circumstance shall a
prepayment be allowed that would reduce debt service coverage below the Required Coverage.
The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as follows (capitalized terms as defined above or
below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Remaining Facilities Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Defeasance Requirement
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount shall be determined by
application of the following steps:
Step 1. Determine the greater of (i) the total Maximum Special Tax that could be
collected from the Assessor's Parcel prepaying the Special Tax in the Fiscal
Year in which prepayment would be received by the City, or (ii) the
Maximum Special Tax that could be collected from the Parcel at buildout
based on Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 2. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Step 1 for such
Assessor's Parcel by the lesser of(i) the Maximum Special Tax Revenue that
could be collected in that Fiscal Year from property in Improvement Area
No. 4, or (ii) the Maximum Special Tax revenues that could be
generated at buildout of property in Improvement Area No. 4 based on the
Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the Outstanding
Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and
prepaid (the `Bond Redemption Amount").
Step 4. Compute the current Remaining Facilities Costs (if any).
Step 5. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the amount determined
pursuant to Step 4 to compute the amount of Remaining Facilities Costs to be
prepaid (the "Remaining Facilities Amount").
Step 6. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to Step 3 by
the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be
redeemed (the "Redemption Premium").
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 4 12 May 6,2015
Step 7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption
Amount starting with the last Bond interest payment date on which interest
has been or will be paid by Special Taxes already levied until the earliest
redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds. If Bonds are callable at or prior
to the last Bond interest payment date on which interest has been or will
be paid by Special Taxes already levied, Steps 7, 8 and 9 of this
prepayment formula will not apply.
Step 8. Compute the amount of interest the City reasonably expects to derive from
reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption
Premium from the first Bond interest payment date after which the
prepayment has been received until the redemption date for the Outstanding
Bonds.
Step 9. Subtract the amount computed pursuant to Step 8 from the amount computed
pursuant to Step 7 (the "Defeasance Requirement").
Step 10. The administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment will be
determined by the Administrator and include the costs of computing the
prepayment, redeeming Bonds and recording any notices to evidence the
prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses").
Step 11. If, at the time the prepayment is calculated, the reserve fund is greater than or
equal to the reserve requirement, and to the extent so provided in the
Indenture, a reserve fund credit shall be calculated as a reduction in the
applicable reserve fund for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed pursuant
to the prepayment(the "Reserve Fund Credit").
Step 12. The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed
pursuant to Steps 3, 5, 6, 9, and 10, less the amount computed pursuant to
Step 11 (the "Prepayment Amount").
Step 13. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 6,
and 9 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the
Indenture and be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service
payments. The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 shall be deposited into
the Construction Fund. The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 shall be
retained in the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative
Expenses of Improvement Area No. 4.
Once a full prepayment has been received, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall be
recorded against the Parcel. However, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall not be
recorded until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years have
been collected.
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 4 13 May 6,2015
2. Partial Prepayment
A partial prepayment may be made in an amount equal to any percentage of full prepayment
desired by the party making a partial prepayment, except that the full amount of Administrative
Fees and Expenses determined in Step 10 shall be included in the partial prepayment. The
Maximum Special Tax that can be levied on a Parcel after a partial prepayment is made shall be
determined as follows:
Step 1. Calculate the full prepayment (not including the amount collected for
Administrative Fees and Expenses) that would be due from the Parcel if the
entire Special Tax obligation were being prepaid pursuant to Section L1
above.
Step 2. Divide the partial prepayment amount for the Parcel (not including the
amount collected for Administrative Fees and Expenses) by the amount
computed in Step 1 to determine a percentage.
Step 3. Subtract the percentage computed in Step 2 from 100% to determine the
"Remaining Percentage."
Step 4. Multiply the Remaining Percentage from Step 3 by the Maximum Special
Tax for the Parcel to determine the new Maximum Special Tax that will be
in effect for the Parcel after the partial prepayment is applied.
When a partial prepayment is received, the proceeds shall be deposited as follows:
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 in Section L1 shall be deposited
into the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative Expenses of
Improvement Area No. 4.
• The sum of the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 6, and 9 in Section L1
shall be multiplied by the percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section L2,
and the product shall be the amount deposited into the appropriate fund
established under the Indenture to be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or
make debt service payments.
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 in Section L 1 shall be multiplied by
the percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section L2, and the product shall
be the amount deposited into the Construction Fund.
Once a partial prepayment has been received, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall be
recorded against the Parcel. However, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall not be recorded
until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years have been
collected.

J. INTERPRETATION OF SPECIAL TAX FORMULA
The City reserves the right to make minor administrative and technical changes to this document
that do not materially affect the rate and method of apportioning Special Taxes. In addition, the
interpretation and application of any section of this document shall be left to the City's
discretion. Interpretations may be made by the City by ordinance or resolution for purposes of

as Single Family Detached Property, Multi-Family Property, or Taxable Non-Residential
Property, and (iii) determine if there is any Taxable Homeowners Association Property or
Taxable Public Property. For Multi-Family Property, the number of Residential Units shall be
determined by referencing the condominium plan, apartment plan, site plan or other development
plan. In addition, the Administrator shall, on an ongoing basis, track the current balance of the
Special Tax Buffer and determine whether the Buffer Release can take place.
In any Fiscal Year, if it is determined that: (i) a parcel map for property in Improvement Area
No. 5 was recorded after January 1 of the prior Fiscal Year (or any other date after which the
Assessor will not incorporate the newly-created Parcels into the then current tax roll), (ii)
because of the date the parcel map was recorded, the Assessor does not yet recognize the new
Parcels created by the parcel map, and (iii) one or more of the newly-created parcels is in a
different Development Class than other parcels created by the subdivision, the Administrator
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 5 6 May 6,2015
shall calculate the Special Tax for the property affected by recordation of the parcel map by
determining the Special Tax that applies separately to the property within each Development
Class, then applying the sum of the individual Special Taxes to the Parcel that was subdivided by
recordation of the parcel map.
C. MAXIMUM SPECIAL TAX
1. Developed Property
The following maximum Special Tax rates shall apply to all Parcels of Developed Property
within Improvement Area No. 5 for each Fiscal Year in which the Special Tax is levied and
collected:

*On July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter, the Maximum Special Taxes shown in Table 1 shall be
increased by an amount equal to 2.0%of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 5 7 May 6,2015
Once a Special Tax has been levied on a Parcel of Developed Property, the Maximum Special
Tax applicable to that Parcel shall not be reduced in future Fiscal Years because of changes in
land use on the Parcel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the actual Special Tax levied on a Parcel
of Developed Property in any Fiscal Year may be less than the Maximum Special Tax if the
Special Tax Requirement does not require the levy of the Maximum Special Tax pursuant to
Section F below.
2. Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable Homeowners Association Property and
Taxable Public Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable
Homeowners Association Property and Taxable Public Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
$118,900 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by an
amount equal to 2.0% of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
3. Undeveloped Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Undeveloped Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
$118,900 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by an
amount equal to 2.0% of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
D. LAND USE CHANGES
The Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 5, which is shown
in Attachment 1, was calculated based on the Expected Land Uses at CFD Formation. As set
forth in Section E herein, Attachment 1 shall be modified to reflect the Expected Land Uses and
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 5 if property is annexed
to Improvement Area No. 5. Attachment 1 is also subject to modification upon the occurrence of
Land Use Changes, as described below. The Administrator shall review all Land Use Changes
within Improvement Area No. 5 and compare the revised land uses to the Expected Land Uses
to evaluate the impact on the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues.
If,prior to the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in
the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this Section
D. Upon approval of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update Attachment 1 to
show the reduced Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall then be the
amount used to size Bond sales.
If, after the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in the
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this Section D
as long as the reduction in Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues does not reduce
debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage. Upon approval
of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update Attachment 1 to show the reduced Net
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall then be the amount used to size future
bond sales.
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 5 8 May 6,2015
If, after the first Bond sale, the Administrator determines that a proposed Land Use Change
would reduce debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage, a
prepayment must be made by the landowner requesting the Land Use Change in an amount
sufficient to retire Bonds in the amount necessary to maintain the Required Coverage.
E. ANNEXATIONS
If, in any Fiscal Year, a property owner within the Future Annexation Area wants to annex
property into Improvement Area No. 5, the Administrator shall apply the following steps as part
of the annexation proceedings:
Step 1. Working with City staff and the landowner, the Administrator shall determine the
number of Residential Units within each Square Footage Category that are
expected to be built within the area to be annexed.
Step 2. The Administrator shall prepare and keep on file an updated Attachment 1 that
adds the annexed property and identifies the revised Expected Land Uses,
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, and Special Tax Buffer for
Improvement Area No. 5. After the annexation is complete, the application of
Sections D, F and I of this RMA shall be based on the adjusted Expected Land
Uses and Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues including the newly
annexed property.
Step 3. The Administrator shall ensure that a Notice of Special Tax Lien is recorded
against all Parcels that are annexed to the CFD.
Step 4. The Administrator shall recalculate the Public Facilities Requirement used in the
prepayment calculation in Section I below to include the estimated net proceeds
that can be generated to fund Authorized Facilities based on the Maximum
Special Tax capacity from the annexed area. The adjusted Public Facilities
Requirement shall be calculated by (i) dividing the increased Expected Maximum
Special Tax Revenues that can be collected after the annexation by the Expected
Maximum Special Tax Revenues that were in place prior to the annexation, and
(ii) multiplying the quotient by the Public Facilities Requirement that was in
place prior to the annexation.
Step 5. The Administrator shall increase the acreage of exempt Public Property and
exempt Homeowners Association Property to include such acreage as estimated
in the area that was annexed.
F. METHOD OF LEVY OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Each Fiscal Year, the Administrator shall determine the Special Tax Requirement to be collected
in that Fiscal Year. A Special Tax shall then be levied according to the following steps:
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 5 9 May 6,2015
Step 1. In all Fiscal Years prior to the earlier of(i) the funding of all the Authorized
Facilities or (ii) the fifteenth Fiscal Year in which a Special Tax is levied on
Parcels in Improvement Area No. 5, the Maximum Special Tax shall be levied
on all Parcels of Developed Property. Pursuant to the flow of funds set forth
in the Indenture, any Special Tax proceeds collected that are not needed to
pay debt service on the Bonds, replenish reserves, or pay Administrative
Expenses shall be used to pay directly for Authorized Facilities.
After the Fiscal Year in which the earlier of the two dates set forth above
occurs, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of
Developed Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Developed Property until the amount levied is equal to the Special
Tax Requirement.
Step 2. If additional revenue is needed after Step 1 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Undeveloped Property.
Step 3. If additional revenue is needed after Step 2 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Homeowners Association Property up to 100% of the Maximum
Special Tax for each Parcel of Taxable Homeowners Association Property.
Step 4. If additional revenue is needed after Step 3 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Public Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Taxable Public Property.
G. MANNER OF COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAXES
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad
valorem property taxes, provided, however, that prepayments are permitted as set forth in
Section I below and provided further that the City may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect
Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner, and may collect delinquent Special
Taxes through foreclosure or other available methods.
The Special Tax shall be levied and collected until principal and interest on all Bonds have been
repaid, costs of constructing or acquiring Authorized Facilities have been paid, and all
Administrative Expenses have been paid or reimbursed. However, in no event shall Special
Taxes be levied after Fiscal Year 2050-51. Under no circumstances may the Special Tax on a
Parcel in residential use be increased in any Fiscal Year as a consequence of delinquency or
default in payment of the Special Tax levied on another Parcel or Parcels by more than ten
percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there never
been any such delinquencies or defaults.
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 5 10 May 6,2015
H. EXEMPTIONS
Notwithstanding any other provision of this RMA, no Special Tax shall be levied on up to
14.72 Acres of Homeowners Association Property in Improvement Area No. 5, which acreage
amounts will be adjusted with each annexation of property into Improvement Area No. 5 as set
forth in Section E above. Tax-exempt status will be assigned by the Administrator to
Homeowners Association Property in chronological order based on the date on which Parcels
are transferred to the Homeowners Association. As of CFD Formation, there was no Public
Property or Non-Residential Property expected within Improvement Area No. 5; therefore,
all Public Property and all Non-Residential Property in Improvement Area No. 5 shall be
Taxable Public Property and Taxable Non-Residential Property for purposes of this RMA.
L PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The following definitions apply to this Section L
"Construction Fund" means the account (regardless of its name) identified in the
Indenture to hold funds which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or
construct Authorized Facilities.
"Outstanding Bonds" means all Previously Issued Bonds which remain outstanding,
with the following exception: if a Special Tax has been levied against, or already paid by,
an Assessor's Parcel making a prepayment, and a portion of the Special Tax will be used
to pay a portion of the next principal payment on the Bonds that remain outstanding (as
determined by the Administrator), that next principal payment shall be subtracted from
the total Bond principal that remains outstanding, and the difference shall be used as the
amount of Outstanding Bonds for purposes of this prepayment formula.
"Previously Issued Bonds" means all Bonds that have been issued prior to the date of
prepayment.
"Public Facilities Requirement" means either $21 million in 2015 dollars, escalated
two percent (2.0%) per year beginning July 1, 2016 and each July 1 thereafter, or such
lower number as shall be determined by the City as sufficient to fund the Authorized
Facilities.
"Remaining Facilities Costs" means the Public Facilities Requirement minus public
facility costs funded by Previously Issued Bonds or Special Taxes.
1. Full Prepayment
The Special Tax obligation applicable to an Assessor's Parcel in Improvement Area No. 5 may
be prepaid and the obligation of the Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax permanently
satisfied as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made only if there are no
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 5 11 May 6,2015
delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment. An
owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax obligation shall provide the
City with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of such written notice, the
City or its designee shall notify such owner of the prepayment amount for such Assessor's
Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 75 days prior to any redemption date for Bonds
to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes. Under no circumstance shall a
prepayment be allowed that would reduce debt service coverage below the Required Coverage.
The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as follows (capitalized terms as defined above or
below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Remaining Facilities Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Defeasance Requirement
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount shall be determined by
application of the following steps:
Step 1. Determine the greater of (i) the total Maximum Special Tax that could be
collected from the Assessor's Parcel prepaying the Special Tax in the Fiscal
Year in which prepayment would be received by the City, or (ii) the
Maximum Special Tax that could be collected from the Parcel at buildout
based on Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 2. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Step 1 for such
Assessor's Parcel by the lesser of(i) the Maximum Special Tax Revenue that
could be collected in that Fiscal Year from property in Improvement Area
No. 5, or (ii) the Maximum Special Tax revenues that could be
generated at buildout of property in Improvement Area No. 5 based on the
Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the Outstanding
Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and
prepaid (the `Bond Redemption Amount").
Step 4. Compute the current Remaining Facilities Costs (if any).
Step 5. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the amount determined
pursuant to Step 4 to compute the amount of Remaining Facilities Costs to be
prepaid (the "Remaining Facilities Amount").
Step 6. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to Step 3 by
the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be
redeemed (the "Redemption Premium").
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 5 12 May 6,2015
Step 7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption
Amount starting with the last Bond interest payment date on which interest
has been or will be paid by Special Taxes already levied until the earliest
redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds. If Bonds are callable at or prior
to the last Bond interest payment date on which interest has been or will
be paid by Special Taxes already levied, Steps 7, 8 and 9 of this
prepayment formula will not apply.
Step 8. Compute the amount of interest the City reasonably expects to derive from
reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption
Premium from the first Bond interest payment date after which the
prepayment has been received until the redemption date for the Outstanding
Bonds.
Step 9. Subtract the amount computed pursuant to Step 8 from the amount computed
pursuant to Step 7 (the "Defeasance Requirement").
Step 10. The administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment will be
determined by the Administrator and include the costs of computing the
prepayment, redeeming Bonds and recording any notices to evidence the
prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses").
Step 11. If, at the time the prepayment is calculated, the reserve fund is greater than or
equal to the reserve requirement, and to the extent so provided in the
Indenture, a reserve fund credit shall be calculated as a reduction in the
applicable reserve fund for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed pursuant
to the prepayment(the "Reserve Fund Credit").
Step 12. The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed
pursuant to Steps 3, 5, 6, 9, and 10, less the amount computed pursuant to
Step 11 (the "Prepayment Amount").
Step 13. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 6,
and 9 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the
Indenture and be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service
payments. The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 shall be deposited into
the Construction Fund. The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 shall be
retained in the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative
Expenses of Improvement Area No. 5.
Once a full prepayment has been received, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall be
recorded against the Parcel. However, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall not be
recorded until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years have
been collected.
CFD No. 2015-1 IA No. 5 13 May 6,2015
2. Partial Prepayment
A partial prepayment may be made in an amount equal to any percentage of full prepayment
desired by the party making a partial prepayment, except that the full amount of Administrative
Fees and Expenses determined in Step 10 shall be included in the partial prepayment. The
Maximum Special Tax that can be levied on a Parcel after a partial prepayment is made shall be
determined as follows:
Step 1. Calculate the full prepayment (not including the amount collected for
Administrative Fees and Expenses) that would be due from the Parcel if the
entire Special Tax obligation were being prepaid pursuant to Section L1
above.
Step 2. Divide the partial prepayment amount for the Parcel (not including the
amount collected for Administrative Fees and Expenses) by the amount
computed in Step 1 to determine a percentage.
Step 3. Subtract the percentage computed in Step 2 from 100% to determine the
"Remaining Percentage."
Step 4. Multiply the Remaining Percentage from Step 3 by the Maximum Special
Tax for the Parcel to determine the new Maximum Special Tax that will be
in effect for the Parcel after the partial prepayment is applied.
When a partial prepayment is received, the proceeds shall be deposited as follows:
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 in Section L1 shall be deposited
into the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative Expenses of
Improvement Area No. 5.
• The sum of the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 6, and 9 in Section L1
shall be multiplied by the percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section L2,
and the product shall be the amount deposited into the appropriate fund
established under the Indenture to be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or
make debt service payments.
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 in Section L 1 shall be multiplied by
the percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section L2, and the product shall
be the amount deposited into the Construction Fund.
Once a partial prepayment has been received, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall be
recorded against the Parcel. However, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall not be recorded
until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years have been
collected.

which may be annexed to Improvement Area No. 1.
C. Similarly, as to Improvement Area Nos. 2 through 5, the applicable RMA
will apply to all nonexempt real property initially included within the corresponding
Improvement Area, together with any real property which may annexed to that
Improvement Area.

4
Council reserves the right, under Section 53340, to utilize any method of collecting the Special
Tax which it shall, from time to time, determine to be in the best interests of the City, including,
but not limited to, direct billing by the City to the property owners and supplemental billing.
Section 13. Subject to the voter approval required by the Act, this City Council hereby

c. $2.3 million for Improvement Area No. 3;
d. $1.2 million for Improvement Area No. 4; and
e. $3.5 million for Improvement Area No. 5.

assumptions respecting (a) which portions of the territory comprising the Future Annexation
Area will be annexed into the respective Improvement Areas and (b) how those portions of the
territory will be developed. The estimated allocation is subject to modification by the
Administrator (as said term is defined in the Improvement Area No. 1 RMA) if the territory
annexed to any given Improvement Area is different from the present assumptions or if those
portions of the territory are developed differently than presently assumed, as reflected in
Attachment 1 to each of the RMAs;provided that the total initial appropriations limit for CFD
No. 2015-1 for Fiscal Year 2015-16 shall remain at $15 million.

landowners of the land within CFD No. 2015-1 in accordance with Section 53326 of the Act,
which provides that each landowner shall be accorded one vote for each acre or portion of an
acre owned. The election will be conducted as a mailed-ballot election, and this City Council

Property as Single Family Detached Property, Multi-Family Property, or Taxable Non-
Residential Property, and (iii) determine if there is any Taxable Homeowners Association
Property or Taxable Public Property. For Multi-Family Property, the number of Residential
Units shall be determined by referencing the condominium plan, apartment plan, site plan or
other development plan. In addition, the Administrator shall, on an ongoing basis, track the
current balance of the Special Tax Buffer and determine whether the Buffer Release can take
place.
In any Fiscal Year, if it is determined that: (i) a parcel map for property in Improvement
Area No. 1 was recorded after January 1 of the prior Fiscal Year (or any other date after
which the Assessor will not incorporate the newly-created Parcels into the then current tax
roll), (ii) because of the date the parcel map was recorded, the Assessor does not yet
recognize the new Parcels created by the parcel map, and (iii) one or more of the newly-
created parcels is in a different Development Class than other parcels created by the
subdivision, the Administrator shall calculate the Special Tax for the property affected by
recordation of the parcel map by determining the Special Tax that applies separately to the
property within each Development Class, then applying the sum of the individual Special
Taxes to the Parcel that was subdivided by recordation of the parcel map.
B-6
C. MAXIMUM SPECIAL TAX
1. Developed Property
The following maximum Special Tax rates shall apply to all Parcels of Developed
Property within Improvement Area No. 1 for each Fiscal Year in which the Special Tax is levied
and collected:
TABLE 1
Developed Property
Fiscal Year 2015-16
Maximum Special Taxes*
Maximum
Square Footage Special Tax
Land Use Category (Fiscal Year 2015-16)*
Residential Units
Single Family greater than 2,300 $4,878 per
Detached Property Square Feet Residential Unit
Residential Units
Single Family 2,100 to 2,300 $4,528 per
Detached Property Square Feet Residential Unit
Residential Units

Multi-Family 1,600 to 1,800 $3,685 per
Property Square Feet Residential Unit
Residential Units
Multi-Family Less than 1,600 $3,273 per
Property Square Feet Residential Unit
*On July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter, the Maximum Special Taxes shown in Table 1 shall be
increased by an amount equal to 2.0%of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
Once a Special Tax has been levied on a Parcel of Developed Property,the Maximum Special
Tax applicable to that Parcel shall not be reduced in future Fiscal Years because of changes
in land use on the Parcel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the actual Special Tax levied on a
Parcel of Developed Property in any Fiscal Year may be less than the Maximum Special Tax
if the Special Tax Requirement does not require the levy of the Maximum Special Tax
pursuant to Section F below.
B-7
2. Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable Homeowners Association Property and
Taxable Public Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable
Homeowners Association Property and Taxable Public Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
$269,300 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by
an amount equal to 2.0% of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
3. Undeveloped Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Undeveloped Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
$269,300 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by an
amount equal to 2.0% of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
D. LAND USE CHANGES
The Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 1, which is shown
in Attachment 1, was calculated based on the Expected Land Uses at CFD Formation. As set
forth in Section E herein, Attachment 1 shall be modified to reflect the Expected Land Uses
and Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 1 if property is
annexed to Improvement Area No. 1. Attachment 1 is also subject to modification upon the
occurrence of Land Use Changes, as described below. The Administrator shall review all Land
Use Changes within Improvement Area No. 1 and compare the revised land uses to the
Expected Land Uses to evaluate the impact on the Expected Maximum Special Tax
Revenues.
If,prior to the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in
the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this
Section D. Upon approval of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update
Attachment 1 to show the reduced Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall
then be the amount used to size Bond sales.
If, after the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in
the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this
Section D as long as the reduction in Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues does
not reduce debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage.
Upon approval of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update Attachment 1 to show
the reduced Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall then be the amount
used to size future bond sales.
If, after the first Bond sale, the Administrator determines that a proposed Land Use Change
would reduce debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage, a
prepayment must be made by the landowner requesting the Land Use Change in an amount
sufficient to retire Bonds in the amount necessary to maintain the Required Coverage.
B-8
E. ANNEXATIONS
If, in any Fiscal Year, a property owner within the Future Annexation Area wants to annex
property into Improvement Area No. 1, the Administrator shall apply the following steps as part
of the annexation proceedings:
Step 1. Working with City staff and the landowner, the Administrator shall determine
the number of Residential Units within each Square Footage Category that are
expected to be built within the area to be annexed.
Step 2. The Administrator shall prepare and keep on file an updated Attachment 1 that
adds the annexed property and identifies the revised Expected Land Uses,
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, and Special Tax Buffer for
Improvement Area No. 1. After the annexation is complete, the application of
Sections D, F and I of this RMA shall be based on the adjusted Expected Land
Uses and Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues including the newly
annexed property.
Step 3. The Administrator shall ensure that a Notice of Special Tax Lien is recorded
against all Parcels that are annexed to the CFD.
Step 4. The Administrator shall recalculate the Public Facilities Requirement used in
the prepayment calculation in Section I below to include the estimated net
proceeds that can be generated to fund Authorized Facilities based on the
Maximum Special Tax capacity from the annexed area. The adjusted Public
Facilities Requirement shall be calculated by (i) dividing the increased
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues that can be collected after the
annexation by the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues that were in place
prior to the annexation, and (ii) multiplying the quotient by the Public Facilities
Requirement that was in place prior to the annexation.
Step 5. The Administrator shall increase the acreage of exempt Public Property and
exempt Homeowners Association Property to include such acreage as estimated
in the area that was annexed.
F. METHOD OF LEVY OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Each Fiscal Year, the Administrator shall determine the Special Tax Requirement to be
collected in that Fiscal Year. A Special Tax shall then be levied according to the following
steps:
Step 1. In all Fiscal Years prior to the earlier of(i) the funding of all the Authorized
Facilities or (ii) the fifteenth Fiscal Year in which a Special Tax is levied on
Parcels in Improvement Area No. 1, the Maximum Special Tax shall be
levied on all Parcels of Developed Property. Pursuant to the flow of funds
set forth in the Indenture, any Special Tax proceeds collected that are not
needed to pay debt service on the Bonds, replenish reserves, or pay
Administrative Expenses shall be used to pay directly for Authorized
Facilities.
B-9
After the Fiscal Year in which the earlier of the two dates set forth above
occurs, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of
Developed Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Developed Property until the amount levied is equal to the Special
Tax Requirement.
Step 2. If additional revenue is needed after Step 1 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each
Parcel of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax
for each Parcel of Undeveloped Property.
Step 3. If additional revenue is needed after Step 2 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Homeowners Association Property up to 100% of the Maximum
Special Tax for each Parcel of Taxable Homeowners Association Property.
Step 4. If additional revenue is needed after Step 3 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Public Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for
each Parcel of Taxable Public Property.
G. MANNER OF COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAXES
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary
ad valorem property taxes, provided, however, that prepayments are permitted as set forth in
Section I below and provided further that the City may directly bill the Special Tax, may
collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner, and may collect
delinquent Special Taxes through foreclosure or other available methods.
The Special Tax shall be levied and collected until principal and interest on all Bonds
have been repaid, costs of constructing or acquiring Authorized Facilities have been paid, and
all Administrative Expenses have been paid or reimbursed. However, in no event shall Special
Taxes be levied after Fiscal Year 2050-51. Under no circumstances may the Special Tax
on a Parcel in residential use be increased in any Fiscal Year as a consequence of
delinquency or default in payment of the Special Tax levied on another Parcel or Parcels by
more than ten percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal
Year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults.
H. EXEMPTIONS
Notwithstanding any other provision of this RMA, no Special Tax shall be levied on up to
1.91 Acres of Public Property and 13.44 Acres of Homeowners Association Property in
Improvement Area No. 1, which acreage amounts will be adjusted with each annexation of
property into Improvement Area No. 1 as set forth in Section E above. Tax-exempt status will
be assigned by the Administrator separately to Public Property and Homeowners Association
Property in chronological order based on the date on which Parcels are transferred to a
Public Agency or the Homeowners Association. As of CFD Formation, there was no Non-
Residential Property expected within Improvement Area No. l; therefore, all Non-
B-10
Residential Property in Improvement Area No. 1 shall be Taxable Non-Residential Property
for purposes of this RMA.
L PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The following definitions apply to this Section L
"Construction Fund" means the account (regardless of its name) identified in the
Indenture to hold funds which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or
construct Authorized Facilities.
"Outstanding Bonds" means all Previously Issued Bonds which remain
outstanding, with the following exception: if a Special Tax has been levied against, or
already paid by, an Assessor's Parcel making a prepayment, and a portion of the Special
Tax will be used to pay a portion of the next principal payment on the Bonds that
remain outstanding (as determined by the Administrator), that next principal payment
shall be subtracted from the total Bond principal that remains outstanding, and the
difference shall be used as the amount of Outstanding Bonds for purposes of this
prepayment formula.
"Previously Issued Bonds" means all Bonds that have been issued prior to the date
of prepayment.
"Public Facilities Requirement" means either $21.1 million in 2015 dollars,
escalated two percent (2.0%) per year beginning July 1, 2016 and each July 1
thereafter, or such lower number as shall be determined by the City as sufficient to
fund the Authorized Facilities.
"Remaining Facilities Costs" means the Public Facilities Requirement minus
public facility costs funded by Previously Issued Bonds or Special Taxes.
1. Full Prepayment
The Special Tax obligation applicable to an Assessor's Parcel in Improvement Area No. 1
may be prepaid and the obligation of the Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax
permanently satisfied as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made only
if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of
prepayment. An owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax
obligation shall provide the City with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of
receipt of such written notice, the City or its designee shall notify such owner of the
prepayment amount for such Assessor's Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 75
days prior to any redemption date for Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid
Special Taxes. Under no circumstance shall a prepayment be allowed that would reduce debt
service coverage below the Required Coverage. The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated
as follows (capitalized terms as defined above or below):
B-11
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Remaining Facilities Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Defeasance Requirement
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount shall be determined by
application of the following steps:
Step 1. Determine the greater of(i) the total Maximum Special Tax that could be
collected from the Assessor's Parcel prepaying the Special Tax in the Fiscal
Year in which prepayment would be received by the City, or (ii) the
Maximum Special Tax that could be collected from the Parcel at buildout
based on Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 2. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Step 1 for such
Assessor's Parcel by the lesser of(i) the Maximum Special Tax Revenue
that could be collected in that Fiscal Year from property in Improvement
Area No. 1, or (ii) the Maximum Special Tax revenues that could be
generated at buildout of property in Improvement Area No. 1 based on the
Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the Outstanding
Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and
prepaid (the "Bond RedemptionAmount'�.
Step 4. Compute the current Remaining Facilities Costs (if any).
Step 5. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the amount
determined pursuant to Step 4 to compute the amount of Remaining
Facilities Costs to be prepaid (the "Remaining Facilities Amount').
Step 6. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to Step 3 by
the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to
be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium'.
Step 7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption
Amount starting with the last Bond interest payment date on which interest
has been or will be paid by Special Taxes already levied until the earliest
redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds. If Bonds are callable at or
prior to the last Bond interest payment date on which interest has been
or will be paid by Special Taxes already levied, Steps 7, 8 and 9 of this
prepayment formula will not apply.
B-12
Step 8. Compute the amount of interest the City reasonably expects to derive from
reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption
Premium from the first Bond interest payment date after which the
prepayment has been received until the redemption date for the
Outstanding Bonds.
Step 9. Subtract the amount computed pursuant to Step 8 from the amount
computed pursuant to Step 7 (the "Defeasance Requirement'.
Step 10. The administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment will
be determined by the Administrator and include the costs of computing the
prepayment, redeeming Bonds and recording any notices to evidence the
prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and
Expenses'.
Step 11. If, at the time the prepayment is calculated, the reserve fund is greater than
or equal to the reserve requirement, and to the extent so provided in the
Indenture, a reserve fund credit shall be calculated as a reduction in the
applicable reserve fund for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed
pursuant to the prepayment (the "Reserve Fund Credit'.
Step 12. The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed
pursuant to Steps 3, 5, 6, 9, and 10, less the amount computed pursuant to
Step 11 (the "PrepaymentAmount'�.
Step 13. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3,
6, and 9 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the
Indenture and be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service
payments. The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 shall be deposited into
the Construction Fund. The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 shall be
retained in the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative
Expenses of Improvement Area No. 1.
Once a full prepayment has been received, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall
be recorded against the Parcel. However, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall not
be recorded until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years
have been collected.
2. Partial Prepayment
A partial prepayment may be made in an amount equal to any percentage of full
prepayment desired by the party making a partial prepayment, except that the full amount of
Administrative Fees and Expenses determined in Step 10 shall be included in the partial
prepayment. The Maximum Special Tax that can be levied on a Parcel after a partial
prepayment is made shall be determined as follows:
Step 1. Calculate the full prepayment (not including the amount collected for
Administrative Fees and Expenses) that would be due from the Parcel if the
B-13
entire Special Tax obligation were being prepaid pursuant to Section 1.1
above.
Step 2. Divide the partial prepayment amount for the Parcel (not including the
amount collected for Administrative Fees and Expenses) by the amount
computed in Step 1 to determine a percentage.
Step 3. Subtract the percentage computed in Step 2 from 100% to determine the
"Remaining Percentage."
Step 4. Multiply the Remaining Percentage from Step 3 by the Maximum Special
Tax for the Parcel to determine the new Maximum Special Tax that will
be in effect for the Parcel after the partial prepayment is applied.
When a partial prepayment is received, the proceeds shall be deposited as follows:
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 in Section L 1 shall be deposited into
the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative Expenses of
Improvement Area No. 1.
• The sum of the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 6, and 9 in Section 1.1
shall be multiplied by the percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section L2, and
the product shall be the amount deposited into the appropriate fund established
under the Indenture to be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service
payments.
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 in Section L 1 shall be multiplied by the
percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section L2, and the product shall be the
amount deposited into the Construction Fund.
Once a partial prepayment has been received, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall be
recorded against the Parcel. However, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall not be
recorded until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years

Single Family Detached Property, Multi-Family Property, or Taxable Non-Residential Property,
and (iii) determine if there is any Taxable Homeowners Association Property or Taxable Public
Property. For Multi-Family Property, the number of Residential Units shall be determined by
referencing the condominium plan, apartment plan, site plan or other development plan. In
addition, the Administrator shall, on an ongoing basis, track the current balance of the Special Tax
Buffer and determine whether the Buffer Release can take place.
In any Fiscal Year, if it is determined that: (i) a parcel map for property in Improvement Area
No. 2 was recorded after January I of the prior Fiscal Year (or any other date after which the
Assessor will not incorporate the newly-created Parcels into the then current tax roll), (ii) because
of the date the parcel map was recorded, the Assessor does not yet recognize the new Parcels
created by the parcel map, and (iii) one or more of the newly-created parcels is in a different
Development Class than other parcels created by the subdivision, the Administrator shall
calculate the Special Tax for the property affected by recordation of the parcel map by
determining the Special Tax that applies separately to the property within each Development
Class, then applying the sum of the individual Special Taxes to the Parcel that was subdivided by
recordation of the parcel map.
C. MAXIMUM SPECIAL TAX
1. Developed Property
The following maximum Special Tax rates shall apply to all Parcels of Developed Property
within Improvement Area No. 2 for each Fiscal Year in which the Special Tax is levied and
collected:

*On July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter, the Maximum Special Taxes shown in Table 1 shall be
increased by an amount equal to 2.0%of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
Once a Special Tax has been levied on a Parcel of Developed Property, the Maximum Special
Tax applicable to that Parcel shall not be reduced in future Fiscal Years because of changes in
land use on the Parcel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the actual Special Tax levied on a Parcel
of Developed Property in any Fiscal Year may be less than the Maximum Special Tax if the
Special Tax Requirement does not require the levy of the Maximum Special Tax pursuant to
Section F below.
2. Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable Homeowners Association Property and
Taxable Public Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable
Homeowners Association Property and Taxable Public Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
$124,300 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by an
amount equal to 2.0% of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
3. Undeveloped Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Undeveloped Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
C-7
$124,300 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by an
amount equal to 2.0% of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
D. LAND USE CHANGES
The Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 2, which is shown
in Attachment 1, was calculated based on the Expected Land Uses at CFD Formation. As set
forth in Section E herein, Attachment 1 shall be modified to reflect the Expected Land Uses and
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 2 if property is annexed to
Improvement Area No. 2. Attachment 1 is also subject to modification upon the occurrence of
Land Use Changes, as described below. The Administrator shall review all Land Use Changes
within Improvement Area No. 2 and compare the revised land uses to the Expected Land Uses
to evaluate the impact on the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues.
If,prior to the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in
the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this Section
D. Upon approval of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update Attachment 1 to
show the reduced Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall then be the
amount used to size Bond sales.
If, after the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in the
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this Section D
as long as the reduction in Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues does not reduce
debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage. Upon approval
of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update Attachment 1 to show the reduced Net
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall then be the amount used to size future
bond sales.
If, after the first Bond sale, the Administrator determines that a proposed Land Use Change
would reduce debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage, a
prepayment must be made by the landowner requesting the Land Use Change in an amount
sufficient to retire Bonds in the amount necessary to maintain the Required Coverage.
E. ANNEXATIONS
If, in any Fiscal Year, a property owner within the Future Annexation Area wants to annex
property into Improvement Area No. 2, the Administrator shall apply the following steps as part of
the annexation proceedings:
Step 1. Working with City staff and the landowner, the Administrator shall determine the
number of Residential Units within each Square Footage Category that are
expected to be built within the area to be annexed.
Step 2. The Administrator shall prepare and keep on file an updated Attachment 1 that
adds the annexed property and identifies the revised Expected Land Uses,
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, and Special Tax Buffer for
Improvement Area No. 2. After the annexation is complete, the application of
Sections D, F and I of this RMA shall be based on the adjusted Expected Land
C-8
Uses and Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues including the newly
annexed property.
Step 3. The Administrator shall ensure that a Notice of Special Tax Lien is recorded
against all Parcels that are annexed to the CFD.
Step 4. The Administrator shall recalculate the Public Facilities Requirement used in the
prepayment calculation in Section I below to include the estimated net proceeds
that can be generated to fund Authorized Facilities based on the Maximum
Special Tax capacity from the annexed area. The adjusted Public Facilities
Requirement shall be calculated by (i) dividing the increased Expected Maximum
Special Tax Revenues that can be collected after the annexation by the Expected
Maximum Special Tax Revenues that were in place prior to the annexation, and
(ii) multiplying the quotient by the Public Facilities Requirement that was in
place prior to the annexation.
Step 5. The Administrator shall increase the acreage of exempt Public Property and
exempt Homeowners Association Property to include such acreage as estimated
in the area that was annexed.
F. METHOD OF LEVY OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Each Fiscal Year, the Administrator shall determine the Special Tax Requirement to be collected
in that Fiscal Year. A Special Tax shall then be levied according to the following steps:
Step 1. In all Fiscal Years prior to the earlier of(i) the funding of all the Authorized
Facilities or (ii) the fifteenth Fiscal Year in which a Special Tax is levied on
Parcels in Improvement Area No. 2, the Maximum Special Tax shall be levied
on all Parcels of Developed Property. Pursuant to the flow of funds set forth
in the Indenture, any Special Tax proceeds collected that are not needed to
pay debt service on the Bonds, replenish reserves, or pay Administrative
Expenses shall be used to pay directly for Authorized Facilities.
After the Fiscal Year in which the earlier of the two dates set forth above
occurs, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of
Developed Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Developed Property until the amount levied is equal to the Special
Tax Requirement.
Step 2. If additional revenue is needed after Step 1 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Undeveloped Property.
Step 3. If additional revenue is needed after Step 2 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Homeowners Association Property up to 100% of the Maximum
Special Tax for each Parcel of Taxable Homeowners Association Property.
C-9
Step 4. If additional revenue is needed after Step 3 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Public Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Taxable Public Property.
G. MANNER OF COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAXES
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad
valorem property taxes, provided, however, that prepayments are permitted as set forth in
Section I below and provided further that the City may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect
Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner, and may collect delinquent Special
Taxes through foreclosure or other available methods.
The Special Tax shall be levied and collected until principal and interest on all Bonds have
been repaid, costs of constructing or acquiring Authorized Facilities have been paid, and all
Administrative Expenses have been paid or reimbursed. However, in no event shall Special
Taxes be levied after Fiscal Year 2050-51. Under no circumstances may the Special Tax on a
Parcel in residential use be increased in any Fiscal Year as a consequence of delinquency or
default in payment of the Special Tax levied on another Parcel or Parcels by more than ten
percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there
never been any such delinquencies or defaults.
H. EXEMPTIONS
Notwithstanding any other provision of this RMA, no Special Tax shall be levied on up to
20.35 Acres of Public Property and 16.97 Acres of Homeowners Association Property in
Improvement Area No. 2, which acreage amounts will be adjusted with each annexation of
property into Improvement Area No. 2 as set forth in Section E above. Tax-exempt status will
be assigned by the Administrator separately to Public Property and Homeowners Association
Property in chronological order based on the date on which Parcels are transferred to a Public
Agency or the Homeowners Association. As of CFD Formation, there was no Non-Residential
Property expected within Improvement Area No. 2; therefore, all Non-Residential Property in
Improvement Area No. 2 shall be Taxable Non-Residential Property for purposes of this RMA.
L PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The following definitions apply to this Section L
"Construction Fund" means the account (regardless of its name) identified in the
Indenture to hold funds which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or
construct Authorized Facilities.
"Outstanding Bonds" means all Previously Issued Bonds which remain outstanding,
with the following exception: if a Special Tax has been levied against, or already paid by,
an Assessor's Parcel making a prepayment, and a portion of the Special Tax will be used
to pay a portion of the next principal payment on the Bonds that remain outstanding (as
determined by the Administrator), that next principal payment shall be subtracted from
the total Bond principal that remains outstanding, and the difference shall be used as the
amount of Outstanding Bonds for purposes of this prepayment formula.
C-10
"Previously Issued Bonds" means all Bonds that have been issued prior to the date of
prepayment.
"Public Facilities Requirement" means either $20.8 million in 2015 dollars, escalated
two percent (2.0%) per year beginning July 1, 2016 and each July 1 thereafter, or such
lower number as shall be determined by the City as sufficient to fund the Authorized
Facilities.
"Remaining Facilities Costs" means the Public Facilities Requirement minus public
facility costs funded by Previously Issued Bonds or Special Taxes.
1. Full Prepayment
The Special Tax obligation applicable to an Assessor's Parcel in Improvement Area No. 2 may
be prepaid and the obligation of the Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax permanently
satisfied as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made only if there are no
delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment. An
owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax obligation shall provide the
City with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of such written notice, the
City or its designee shall notify such owner of the prepayment amount for such Assessor's
Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 75 days prior to any redemption date for Bonds to
be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes. Under no circumstance shall a
prepayment be allowed that would reduce debt service coverage below the Required Coverage.
The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as follows (capitalized terms as defined above or
below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Remaining Facilities Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Defeasance Requirement
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount shall be determined by
application of the following steps:
Step 1. Determine the greater of (i) the total Maximum Special Tax that could be
collected from the Assessor's Parcel prepaying the Special Tax in the Fiscal
Year in which prepayment would be received by the City, or (ii) the
Maximum Special Tax that could be collected from the Parcel at buildout
based on Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 2. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Step 1 for such
Assessor's Parcel by the lesser of(i) the Maximum Special Tax Revenue that
could be collected in that Fiscal Year from property in Improvement Area
No. 2, or (ii) the Maximum Special Tax revenues that could be
generated at buildout of property in Improvement Area No. 2 based on the
C-11
Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the Outstanding
Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and
prepaid (the "Bond RedemptionAmount'�.
Step 4. Compute the current Remaining Facilities Costs (if any).
Step 5. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the amount determined
pursuant to Step 4 to compute the amount of Remaining Facilities Costs to be
prepaid (the "Remaining Facilities Amount'.
Step 6. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to Step 3 by
the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be
redeemed (the "Redemption Premium'.
Step 7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption
Amount starting with the last Bond interest payment date on which interest
has been or will be paid by Special Taxes already levied until the earliest
redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds. If Bonds are callable at or prior
to the last Bond interest payment date on which interest has been or will
be paid by Special Taxes already levied, Steps 7, 8 and 9 of this
prepayment formula will not apply.
Step 8. Compute the amount of interest the City reasonably expects to derive from
reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption
Premium from the first Bond interest payment date after which the
prepayment has been received until the redemption date for the Outstanding
Bonds.
Step 9. Subtract the amount computed pursuant to Step 8 from the amount computed
pursuant to Step 7 (the "Defeasance Requirement'.
Step 10. The administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment will be
determined by the Administrator and include the costs of computing the
prepayment, redeeming Bonds and recording any notices to evidence the
prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses'.
Step 11. If, at the time the prepayment is calculated, the reserve fund is greater than or
equal to the reserve requirement, and to the extent so provided in the
Indenture, a reserve fund credit shall be calculated as a reduction in the
applicable reserve fund for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed pursuant
to the prepayment (the "Reserve Fund Credit'.
Step 12. The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed
pursuant to Steps 3, 5, 6, 9, and 10, less the amount computed pursuant to
Step 11 (the "PrepaymentAmount'�.
C-12
Step 13. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 6,
and 9 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the
Indenture and be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service
payments. The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 shall be deposited into
the Construction Fund. The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 shall be
retained in the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative
Expenses of Improvement Area No. 2.
Once a full prepayment has been received, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall be
recorded against the Parcel. However, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall not be
recorded until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years have
been collected.
2. Partial Prepayment
A partial prepayment may be made in an amount equal to any percentage of full prepayment
desired by the party making a partial prepayment, except that the full amount of Administrative
Fees and Expenses determined in Step 10 shall be included in the partial prepayment. The
Maximum Special Tax that can be levied on a Parcel after a partial prepayment is made shall be
determined as follows:
Step 1. Calculate the full prepayment (not including the amount collected for
Administrative Fees and Expenses) that would be due from the Parcel if the
entire Special Tax obligation were being prepaid pursuant to Section 1.1
above.
Step 2. Divide the partial prepayment amount for the Parcel (not including the
amount collected for Administrative Fees and Expenses) by the amount
computed in Step 1 to determine a percentage.
Step 3. Subtract the percentage computed in Step 2 from 100% to determine the
"Remaining Percentage."
Step 4. Multiply the Remaining Percentage from Step 3 by the Maximum Special
Tax for the Parcel to determine the new Maximum Special Tax that will be
in effect for the Parcel after the partial prepayment is applied.
When a partial prepayment is received, the proceeds shall be deposited as follows:
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 in Section L 1 shall be deposited into the
account or fund that is established to pay Administrative Expenses of Improvement
Area No. 2.
• The sum of the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 6, and 9 in Section L 1 shall
be multiplied by the percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section L2, and the
product shall be the amount deposited into the appropriate fund established under
the Indenture to be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service
payments.
C-13
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 in Section L 1 shall be multiplied by the
percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section L2, and the product shall be the
amount deposited into the Construction Fund.
Once a partial prepayment has been received, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall be
recorded against the Parcel. However, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall not be recorded
until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years have been
collected.
J. INTERPRETATION OF SPECIAL TAX FORMULA
The City reserves the right to make minor administrative and technical changes to this document
that do not materially affect the rate and method of apportioning Special Taxes. In addition, the
interpretation and application of any section of this document shall be left to the City's
discretion. Interpretations may be made by the City by ordinance or resolution for purposes of
clarifying any vagueness or ambiguity in this RMA.

as Single Family Detached Property, Multi-Family Property, or Taxable Non-Residential
Property, and (iii) determine if there is any Taxable Homeowners Association Property or
Taxable Public Property. For Multi-Family Property, the number of Residential Units shall be
determined by referencing the condominium plan, apartment plan, site plan or other development
plan. In addition, the Administrator shall, on an ongoing basis, track the current balance of the
Special Tax Buffer and determine whether the Buffer Release can take place.
In any Fiscal Year, if it is determined that: (i) a parcel map for property in Improvement Area
No. 3 was recorded after January 1 of the prior Fiscal Year (or any other date after which the
Assessor will not incorporate the newly-created Parcels into the then current tax roll), (ii)
because of the date the parcel map was recorded, the Assessor does not yet recognize the new
Parcels created by the parcel map, and (iii) one or more of the newly-created parcels is in a
different Development Class than other parcels created by the subdivision, the Administrator
shall calculate the Special Tax for the property affected by recordation of the parcel map by
determining the Special Tax that applies separately to the property within each Development
Class, then applying the sum of the individual Special Taxes to the Parcel that was subdivided by
recordation of the parcel map.
C. MAXIMUM SPECIAL TAX
1. Developed Property
The following maximum Special Tax rates shall apply to all Parcels of Developed Property
within Improvement Area No. 3 for each Fiscal Year in which the Special Tax is levied and
collected:

*On July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter, the Maximum Special Taxes shown in Table 1 shall be
increased by an amount equal to 2.0%of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
Once a Special Tax has been levied on a Parcel of Developed Property, the Maximum Special
Tax applicable to that Parcel shall not be reduced in future Fiscal Years because of changes in
land use on the Parcel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the actual Special Tax levied on a Parcel
of Developed Property in any Fiscal Year may be less than the Maximum Special Tax if the
Special Tax Requirement does not require the levy of the Maximum Special Tax pursuant to
Section F below.
2. Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable Homeowners Association Property and
Taxable Public Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable
Homeowners Association Property and Taxable Public Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
$190,400 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by an
amount equal to 2.0% of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
D-7
3. Undeveloped Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Undeveloped Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
$190,400 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by an
amount equal to 2.0% of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
D. LAND USE CHANGES
The Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 3, which is shown
in Attachment 1, was calculated based on the Expected Land Uses at CFD Formation. As set
forth in Section E herein, Attachment 1 shall be modified to reflect the Expected Land Uses and
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 3 if property is annexed to
Improvement Area No. 3. Attachment 1 is also subject to modification upon the occurrence of
Land Use Changes, as described below. The Administrator shall review all Land Use Changes
within Improvement Area No. 3 and compare the revised land uses to the Expected Land Uses
to evaluate the impact on the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues.
If,prior to the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in
the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this Section
D. Upon approval of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update Attachment 1 to
show the reduced Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall then be the
amount used to size Bond sales.
If, after the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in the
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this Section D
as long as the reduction in Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues does not reduce
debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage. Upon approval
of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update Attachment 1 to show the reduced Net
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall then be the amount used to size future
bond sales.
If, after the first Bond sale, the Administrator determines that a proposed Land Use Change
would reduce debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage, a
prepayment must be made by the landowner requesting the Land Use Change in an amount
sufficient to retire Bonds in the amount necessary to maintain the Required Coverage.
E. ANNEXATIONS
If, in any Fiscal Year, a property owner within the Future Annexation Area wants to annex
property into Improvement Area No. 3, the Administrator shall apply the following steps as part of
the annexation proceedings:
Step 1. Working with City staff and the landowner, the Administrator shall determine the
number of Residential Units within each Square Footage Category that are
expected to be built within the area to be annexed.
Step 2. The Administrator shall prepare and keep on file an updated Attachment 1 that
adds the annexed property and identifies the revised Expected Land Uses,
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, and Special Tax Buffer for
D-8
Improvement Area No. 3. After the annexation is complete, the application of
Sections D, F and I of this RMA shall be based on the adjusted Expected Land
Uses and Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues including the newly
annexed property.
Step 3. The Administrator shall ensure that a Notice of Special Tax Lien is recorded
against all Parcels that are annexed to the CFD.
Step 4. The Administrator shall recalculate the Public Facilities Requirement used in the
prepayment calculation in Section I below to include the estimated net proceeds
that can be generated to fund Authorized Facilities based on the Maximum
Special Tax capacity from the annexed area. The adjusted Public Facilities
Requirement shall be calculated by (i) dividing the increased Expected Maximum
Special Tax Revenues that can be collected after the annexation by the Expected
Maximum Special Tax Revenues that were in place prior to the annexation, and
(ii) multiplying the quotient by the Public Facilities Requirement that was in
place prior to the annexation.
Step 5. The Administrator shall increase the acreage of exempt Public Property and
exempt Homeowners Association Property to include such acreage as estimated
in the area that was annexed.
F. METHOD OF LEVY OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Each Fiscal Year, the Administrator shall determine the Special Tax Requirement to be collected
in that Fiscal Year. A Special Tax shall then be levied according to the following steps:
Step 1. In all Fiscal Years prior to the earlier of(i) the funding of all the Authorized
Facilities or (ii) the fifteenth Fiscal Year in which a Special Tax is levied on
Parcels in Improvement Area No. 3, the Maximum Special Tax shall be levied
on all Parcels of Developed Property. Pursuant to the flow of funds set forth
in the Indenture, any Special Tax proceeds collected that are not needed to
pay debt service on the Bonds, replenish reserves, or pay Administrative
Expenses shall be used to pay directly for Authorized Facilities.
After the Fiscal Year in which the earlier of the two dates set forth above
occurs, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of
Developed Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Developed Property until the amount levied is equal to the Special
Tax Requirement.
Step 2. If additional revenue is needed after Step 1 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Undeveloped Property.
Step 3. If additional revenue is needed after Step 2 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Homeowners Association Property up to 100% of the Maximum
D-9
Special Tax for each Parcel of Taxable Homeowners Association Property.
Step 4. If additional revenue is needed after Step 3 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Public Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Taxable Public Property.
G. MANNER OF COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAXES
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad
valorem property taxes, provided, however, that prepayments are permitted as set forth in
Section I below and provided further that the City may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect
Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner, and may collect delinquent Special
Taxes through foreclosure or other available methods.
The Special Tax shall be levied and collected until principal and interest on all Bonds have
been repaid, costs of constructing or acquiring Authorized Facilities have been paid, and all
Administrative Expenses have been paid or reimbursed. However, in no event shall Special
Taxes be levied after Fiscal Year 2050-51. Under no circumstances may the Special Tax on a
Parcel in residential use be increased in any Fiscal Year as a consequence of delinquency or
default in payment of the Special Tax levied on another Parcel or Parcels by more than ten
percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there
never been any such delinquencies or defaults.
H. EXEMPTIONS
Notwithstanding any other provision of this RMA, no Special Tax shall be levied on up to
28.15 Acres of Public Property and 10.81 Acres of Homeowners Association Property in
Improvement Area No. 3, which acreage amounts will be adjusted with each annexation of
property into Improvement Area No. 3 as set forth in Section E above. Tax-exempt status will
be assigned by the Administrator separately to Public Property and Homeowners Association
Property in chronological order based on the date on which Parcels are transferred to a Public
Agency or the Homeowners Association. As of CFD Formation, there was no Non-Residential
Property expected within Improvement Area No. 3; therefore, all Non-Residential Property in
Improvement Area No. 3 shall be Taxable Non-Residential Property for purposes of this RMA.
L PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The following definitions apply to this Section L
"Construction Fund" means the account (regardless of its name) identified in the
Indenture to hold funds which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or
construct Authorized Facilities.
"Outstanding Bonds" means all Previously Issued Bonds which remain outstanding,
with the following exception: if a Special Tax has been levied against, or already paid by,
an Assessor's Parcel making a prepayment, and a portion of the Special Tax will be used
to pay a portion of the next principal payment on the Bonds that remain outstanding (as
D-10
determined by the Administrator), that next principal payment shall be subtracted from
the total Bond principal that remains outstanding, and the difference shall be used as the
amount of Outstanding Bonds for purposes of this prepayment formula.
"Previously Issued Bonds" means all Bonds that have been issued prior to the date of
prepayment.
"Public Facilities Requirement" means either $13.4 million in 2015 dollars, escalated
two percent (2.0%) per year beginning July 1, 2016 and each July 1 thereafter, or such
lower number as shall be determined by the City as sufficient to fund the Authorized
Facilities.
"Remaining Facilities Costs" means the Public Facilities Requirement minus public
facility costs funded by Previously Issued Bonds or Special Taxes.
1. Full Prepayment
The Special Tax obligation applicable to an Assessor's Parcel in Improvement Area No. 3 may
be prepaid and the obligation of the Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax permanently
satisfied as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made only if there are no
delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment. An
owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax obligation shall provide the
City with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of such written notice, the
City or its designee shall notify such owner of the prepayment amount for such Assessor's
Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 75 days prior to any redemption date for Bonds to
be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes. Under no circumstance shall a
prepayment be allowed that would reduce debt service coverage below the Required Coverage.
The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as follows (capitalized terms as defined above or
below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Remaining Facilities Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Defeasance Requirement
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount shall be determined by
application of the following steps:
Step 1. Determine the greater of (i) the total Maximum Special Tax that could be
collected from the Assessor's Parcel prepaying the Special Tax in the Fiscal
Year in which prepayment would be received by the City, or (ii) the
Maximum Special Tax that could be collected from the Parcel at buildout
based on Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 2. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Step 1 for such
Assessor's Parcel by the lesser of(i) the Maximum Special Tax Revenue that
D-11
could be collected in that Fiscal Year from property in Improvement Area
No. 3, or (ii) the Maximum Special Tax revenues that could be
generated at buildout of property in Improvement Area No. 3 based on the
Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the Outstanding
Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and
prepaid (the "Bond RedemptionAmount'�.
Step 4. Compute the current Remaining Facilities Costs (if any).
Step 5. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the amount determined
pursuant to Step 4 to compute the amount of Remaining Facilities Costs to be
prepaid (the "Remaining Facilities Amount'.
Step 6. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to Step 3 by
the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be
redeemed (the "Redemption Premium'.
Step 7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption
Amount starting with the last Bond interest payment date on which interest
has been or will be paid by Special Taxes already levied until the earliest
redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds. If Bonds are callable at or prior
to the last Bond interest payment date on which interest has been or will
be paid by Special Taxes already levied, Steps 7, 8 and 9 of this
prepayment formula will not apply.
Step 8. Compute the amount of interest the City reasonably expects to derive from
reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption
Premium from the first Bond interest payment date after which the
prepayment has been received until the redemption date for the Outstanding
Bonds.
Step 9. Subtract the amount computed pursuant to Step 8 from the amount computed
pursuant to Step 7 (the "Defeasance Requirement'.
Step 10. The administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment will be
determined by the Administrator and include the costs of computing the
prepayment, redeeming Bonds and recording any notices to evidence the
prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses'.
Step 11. If, at the time the prepayment is calculated, the reserve fund is greater than or
equal to the reserve requirement, and to the extent so provided in the
Indenture, a reserve fund credit shall be calculated as a reduction in the
applicable reserve fund for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed pursuant
to the prepayment (the "Reserve Fund Credit'.
Step 12 The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed
pursuant to Steps 3, 5, 6, 9, and 10, less the amount computed pursuant to
D-12
Step 11 (the "PrepaymentAmount'�.
Step 13. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 6,
and 9 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the
Indenture and be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service
payments. The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 shall be deposited into
the Construction Fund. The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 shall be
retained in the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative
Expenses of Improvement Area No. 3.
Once a full prepayment has been received, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall be
recorded against the Parcel. However, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall not be
recorded until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years have
been collected.
2. Partial Prepayment
A partial prepayment may be made in an amount equal to any percentage of full prepayment
desired by the party making a partial prepayment, except that the full amount of Administrative
Fees and Expenses determined in Step 10 shall be included in the partial prepayment. The
Maximum Special Tax that can be levied on a Parcel after a partial prepayment is made shall be
determined as follows:
Step 1. Calculate the full prepayment (not including the amount collected for
Administrative Fees and Expenses) that would be due from the Parcel if the
entire Special Tax obligation were being prepaid pursuant to Section 1.1
above.
Step 2. Divide the partial prepayment amount for the Parcel (not including the
amount collected for Administrative Fees and Expenses) by the amount
computed in Step 1 to determine a percentage.
Step 3. Subtract the percentage computed in Step 2 from 100% to determine the
"Remaining Percentage."
Step 4. Multiply the Remaining Percentage from Step 3 by the Maximum Special
Tax for the Parcel to determine the new Maximum Special Tax that will be
in effect for the Parcel after the partial prepayment is applied.
When a partial prepayment is received, the proceeds shall be deposited as follows:
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 in Section L 1 shall be deposited
into the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative Expenses of
Improvement Area No. 3.
• The sum of the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 6, and 9 in Section L 1
shall be multiplied by the percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section L2,
and the product shall be the amount deposited into the appropriate fund
D-13
established under the Indenture to be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or
make debt service payments.
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 in Section L 1 shall be multiplied by
the percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section L2, and the product shall
be the amount deposited into the Construction Fund.
Once a partial prepayment has been received, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall be
recorded against the Parcel. However, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall not be recorded
until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years have been
collected.
J. INTERPRETATION OF SPECIAL TAX FORMULA
The City reserves the right to make minor administrative and technical changes to this document
that do not materially affect the rate and method of apportioning Special Taxes. In addition, the
interpretation and application of any section of this document shall be left to the City's
discretion. Interpretations may be made by the City by ordinance or resolution for purposes of
clarifying any vagueness or ambiguity in this RMA.

as Single Family Detached Property, Multi-Family Property, or Taxable Non-Residential
Property, and (iii) determine if there is any Taxable Homeowners Association Property or
Taxable Public Property. For Multi-Family Property, the number of Residential Units shall be
determined by referencing the condominium plan, apartment plan, site plan or other development
plan. In addition, the Administrator shall, on an ongoing basis, track the current balance of the
Special Tax Buffer and determine whether the Buffer Release can take place.
In any Fiscal Year, if it is determined that: (i) a parcel map for property in Improvement Area
No. 4 was recorded after January I of the prior Fiscal Year (or any other date after which the
Assessor will not incorporate the newly-created Parcels into the then current tax roll), (ii)
because of the date the parcel map was recorded, the Assessor does not yet recognize the new
Parcels created by the parcel map, and (iii) one or more of the newly-created parcels is in a
different Development Class than other parcels created by the subdivision, the Administrator
shall calculate the Special Tax for the property affected by recordation of the parcel map by
determining the Special Tax that applies separately to the property within each Development
Class, then applying the sum of the individual Special Taxes to the Parcel that was subdivided by
recordation of the parcel map.
C. MAXIMUM SPECIAL TAX
4. Developed Property

*On July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter, the Maximum Special Taxes shown in Table 1 shall be
increased by an amount equal to 2.0%of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
Once a Special Tax has been levied on a Parcel of Developed Property, the Maximum Special
Tax applicable to that Parcel shall not be reduced in future Fiscal Years because of changes in
land use on the Parcel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the actual Special Tax levied on a Parcel
of Developed Property in any Fiscal Year may be less than the Maximum Special Tax if the
Special Tax Requirement does not require the levy of the Maximum Special Tax pursuant to
Section F below.
5. Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable Homeowners Association Property and
Taxable Public Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Taxable Non-Residential Property, Taxable
Homeowners Association Property and Taxable Public Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
$78,700 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by an
amount equal to 2.0% of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
E-7
6. Undeveloped Property
The Maximum Special Tax for Parcels of Undeveloped Property in Fiscal Year 2015-16 is
$78,700 per Acre, which shall be increased on July 1, 2016 and on each July 1 thereafter by an
amount equal to 2.0% of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year.
D. LAND USE CHANGES
The Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 4, which is shown
in Attachment 1, was calculated based on the Expected Land Uses at CFD Formation. As set
forth in Section E herein, Attachment 1 shall be modified to reflect the Expected Land Uses and
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 4 if property is annexed to
Improvement Area No. 4. Attachment 1 is also subject to modification upon the occurrence of
Land Use Changes, as described below. The Administrator shall review all Land Use Changes
within Improvement Area No. 4 and compare the revised land uses to the Expected Land Uses
to evaluate the impact on the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues.
If,prior to the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in
the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this Section
D. Upon approval of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update Attachment 1 to
show the reduced Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall then be the
amount used to size Bond sales.
If, after the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in the
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this Section D
as long as the reduction in Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues does not reduce
debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage. Upon approval
of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update Attachment 1 to show the reduced Net
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall then be the amount used to size future
bond sales.
If, after the first Bond sale, the Administrator determines that a proposed Land Use Change
would reduce debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage, a
prepayment must be made by the landowner requesting the Land Use Change in an amount
sufficient to retire Bonds in the amount necessary to maintain the Required Coverage.
E. ANNEXATIONS
If, in any Fiscal Year, a property owner within the Future Annexation Area wants to annex
property into Improvement Area No. 4, the Administrator shall apply the following steps as part of
the annexation proceedings:
Step 1. Working with City staff and the landowner, the Administrator shall determine the
number of Residential Units within each Square Footage Category that are
expected to be built within the area to be annexed.
Step 2. The Administrator shall prepare and keep on file an updated Attachment 1 that
adds the annexed property and identifies the revised Expected Land Uses,
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, and Special Tax Buffer for
E-8
Improvement Area No. 4. After the annexation is complete, the application of
Sections D, F and I of this RMA shall be based on the adjusted Expected Land
Uses and Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues including the newly
annexed property.
Step 3. The Administrator shall ensure that a Notice of Special Tax Lien is recorded
against all Parcels that are annexed to the CFD.
Step 4. The Administrator shall recalculate the Public Facilities Requirement used in the
prepayment calculation in Section I below to include the estimated net proceeds
that can be generated to fund Authorized Facilities based on the Maximum
Special Tax capacity from the annexed area. The adjusted Public Facilities
Requirement shall be calculated by (i) dividing the increased Expected Maximum
Special Tax Revenues that can be collected after the annexation by the Expected
Maximum Special Tax Revenues that were in place prior to the annexation, and
(ii) multiplying the quotient by the Public Facilities Requirement that was in
place prior to the annexation.
Step 5. The Administrator shall increase the acreage of exempt Public Property and
exempt Homeowners Association Property to include such acreage as estimated
in the area that was annexed.
F. METHOD OF LEVY OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Each Fiscal Year, the Administrator shall determine the Special Tax Requirement to be collected
in that Fiscal Year. A Special Tax shall then be levied according to the following steps:
Step 1. In all Fiscal Years prior to the earlier of(i) the funding of all the Authorized
Facilities or (ii) the fifteenth Fiscal Year in which a Special Tax is levied on
Parcels in Improvement Area No. 4, the Maximum Special Tax shall be levied
on all Parcels of Developed Property. Pursuant to the flow of funds set forth
in the Indenture, any Special Tax proceeds collected that are not needed to
pay debt service on the Bonds, replenish reserves, or pay Administrative
Expenses shall be used to pay directly for Authorized Facilities.
After the Fiscal Year in which the earlier of the two dates set forth above
occurs, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of
Developed Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Developed Property until the amount levied is equal to the Special
Tax Requirement.
Step 2. If additional revenue is needed after Step 1 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Undeveloped Property.
Step 3. If additional revenue is needed after Step 2 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Homeowners Association Property up to 100% of the Maximum
E-9
Special Tax for each Parcel of Taxable Homeowners Association Property.
Step 4. If additional revenue is needed after Step 3 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Public Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Taxable Public Property.
G. MANNER OF COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAXES
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad
valorem property taxes, provided, however, that prepayments are permitted as set forth in
Section I below and provided further that the City may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect
Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner, and may collect delinquent Special
Taxes through foreclosure or other available methods.
The Special Tax shall be levied and collected until principal and interest on all Bonds have
been repaid, costs of constructing or acquiring Authorized Facilities have been paid, and all
Administrative Expenses have been paid or reimbursed. However, in no event shall Special
Taxes be levied after Fiscal Year 2050-51. Under no circumstances may the Special Tax on a
Parcel in residential use be increased in any Fiscal Year as a consequence of delinquency or
default in payment of the Special Tax levied on another Parcel or Parcels by more than ten
percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there
never been any such delinquencies or defaults.
H. EXEMPTIONS
Notwithstanding any other provision of this RMA, no Special Tax shall be levied on up to
14.54 Acres of Public Property and 6.49 Acres of Homeowners Association Property in
Improvement Area No. 4, which acreage amounts will be adjusted with each annexation of
property into Improvement Area No. 4 as set forth in Section E above. Tax-exempt status will
be assigned by the Administrator separately to Public Property and Homeowners Association
Property in chronological order based on the date on which Parcels are transferred to a Public
Agency or the Homeowners Association. As of CFD Formation, there was no Non-Residential
Property expected within Improvement Area No. 4; therefore, all Non-Residential Property in
Improvement Area No. 4 shall be Taxable Non-Residential Property for purposes of this RMA.
L PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The following definitions apply to this Section L
"Construction Fund" means the account (regardless of its name) identified in the
Indenture to hold funds which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or
construct Authorized Facilities.
"Outstanding Bonds" means all Previously Issued Bonds which remain outstanding,
with the following exception: if a Special Tax has been levied against, or already paid by,
an Assessor's Parcel making a prepayment, and a portion of the Special Tax will be used
to pay a portion of the next principal payment on the Bonds that remain outstanding (as
determined by the Administrator), that next principal payment shall be subtracted from
E-10
the total Bond principal that remains outstanding, and the difference shall be used as the
amount of Outstanding Bonds for purposes of this prepayment formula.
"Previously Issued Bonds" means all Bonds that have been issued prior to the date of
prepayment.
"Public Facilities Requirement" means either $7.6 million in 2015 dollars, escalated
two percent (2.0%) per year beginning July 1, 2016 and each July 1 thereafter, or such
lower number as shall be determined by the City as sufficient to fund the Authorized
Facilities.
"Remaining Facilities Costs" means the Public Facilities Requirement minus public
facility costs funded by Previously Issued Bonds or Special Taxes.
1. Full Prepayment
The Special Tax obligation applicable to an Assessor's Parcel in Improvement Area No. 4 may
be prepaid and the obligation of the Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax permanently
satisfied as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made only if there are no
delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment. An
owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax obligation shall provide the
City with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of such written notice, the
City or its designee shall notify such owner of the prepayment amount for such Assessor's
Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 75 days prior to any redemption date for Bonds to
be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes. Under no circumstance shall a
prepayment be allowed that would reduce debt service coverage below the Required Coverage.
The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as follows (capitalized terms as defined above or
below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Remaining Facilities Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Defeasance Requirement
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount shall be determined by
application of the following steps:
Step 1. Determine the greater of (i) the total Maximum Special Tax that could be
collected from the Assessor's Parcel prepaying the Special Tax in the Fiscal
Year in which prepayment would be received by the City, or (ii) the
Maximum Special Tax that could be collected from the Parcel at buildout
based on Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 2. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Step 1 for such
Assessor's Parcel by the lesser of(i) the Maximum Special Tax Revenue that
could be collected in that Fiscal Year from property in Improvement Area
E-11
No. 4, or (ii) the Maximum Special Tax revenues that could be
generated at buildout of property in Improvement Area No. 4 based on the
Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the Outstanding
Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and
prepaid (the "Bond RedemptionAmount'�.
Step 4. Compute the current Remaining Facilities Costs (if any).
Step 5. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the amount determined
pursuant to Step 4 to compute the amount of Remaining Facilities Costs to be
prepaid (the "Remaining Facilities Amount'.
Step 6. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to Step 3 by
the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be
redeemed (the "Redemption Premium'.
Step 7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption
Amount starting with the last Bond interest payment date on which interest
has been or will be paid by Special Taxes already levied until the earliest
redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds. If Bonds are callable at or prior
to the last Bond interest payment date on which interest has been or will
be paid by Special Taxes already levied, Steps 7, 8 and 9 of this
prepayment formula will not apply.
Step 8. Compute the amount of interest the City reasonably expects to derive from
reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption
Premium from the first Bond interest payment date after which the
prepayment has been received until the redemption date for the Outstanding
Bonds.
Step 9. Subtract the amount computed pursuant to Step 8 from the amount computed
pursuant to Step 7 (the "Defeasance Requirement'.
Step 10. The administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment will be
determined by the Administrator and include the costs of computing the
prepayment, redeeming Bonds and recording any notices to evidence the
prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses'.
Step 11. If, at the time the prepayment is calculated, the reserve fund is greater than or
equal to the reserve requirement, and to the extent so provided in the
Indenture, a reserve fund credit shall be calculated as a reduction in the
applicable reserve fund for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed pursuant
to the prepayment (the "Reserve Fund Credit'.
Step 12. The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed
pursuant to Steps 3, 5, 6, 9, and 10, less the amount computed pursuant to
Step 11 (the "PrepaymentAmount'�.
E-12
Step 13. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 6,
and 9 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the
Indenture and be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service
payments. The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 shall be deposited into
the Construction Fund. The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 shall be
retained in the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative
Expenses of Improvement Area No. 4.
Once a full prepayment has been received, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall be
recorded against the Parcel. However, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall not be
recorded until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years have
been collected.
2. Partial Prepayment
A partial prepayment may be made in an amount equal to any percentage of full prepayment
desired by the party making a partial prepayment, except that the full amount of Administrative
Fees and Expenses determined in Step 10 shall be included in the partial prepayment. The
Maximum Special Tax that can be levied on a Parcel after a partial prepayment is made shall be
determined as follows:
Step 1. Calculate the full prepayment (not including the amount collected for
Administrative Fees and Expenses) that would be due from the Parcel if the
entire Special Tax obligation were being prepaid pursuant to Section 1.1
above.
Step 2. Divide the partial prepayment amount for the Parcel (not including the
amount collected for Administrative Fees and Expenses) by the amount
computed in Step 1 to determine a percentage.
Step 3. Subtract the percentage computed in Step 2 from 100% to determine the
"Remaining Percentage."
Step 4. Multiply the Remaining Percentage from Step 3 by the Maximum Special
Tax for the Parcel to determine the new Maximum Special Tax that will be
in effect for the Parcel after the partial prepayment is applied.
When a partial prepayment is received, the proceeds shall be deposited as follows:
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 in Section L 1 shall be deposited
into the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative Expenses of
Improvement Area No. 4.
• The sum of the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 6, and 9 in Section L 1
shall be multiplied by the percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section L2,
and the product shall be the amount deposited into the appropriate fund
established under the Indenture to be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or
make debt service payments.
E-13
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 in Section L 1 shall be multiplied by
the percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section L2, and the product shall
be the amount deposited into the Construction Fund.
Once a partial prepayment has been received, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall be
recorded against the Parcel. However, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall not be recorded
until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years have been
collected.
J. INTERPRETATION OF SPECIAL TAX FORMULA
The City reserves the right to make minor administrative and technical changes to this document
that do not materially affect the rate and method of apportioning Special Taxes. In addition, the
interpretation and application of any section of this document shall be left to the City's
discretion. Interpretations may be made by the City by ordinance or resolution for purposes of
clarifying any vagueness or ambiguity in this RMA.

Each Fiscal Year, the Administrator shall (i) categorize each Parcel of Taxable Property
as Developed Property or Undeveloped Property, (ii) categorize each Parcel of Developed
Property as Single Family Detached Property, Multi-Family Property, or Taxable Non-
Residential Property, and (iii) determine if there is any Taxable Homeowners Association
Property or Taxable Public Property. For Multi-Family Property, the number of Residential
Units shall be determined by referencing the condominium plan, apartment plan, site plan or
other development plan. In addition, the Administrator shall, on an ongoing basis, track the
current balance of the Special Tax Buffer and determine whether the Buffer Release can take
place.
In any Fiscal Year, if it is determined that: (i) a parcel map for property in Improvement
Area No. 5 was recorded after January 1 of the prior Fiscal Year (or any other date after
which the Assessor will not incorporate the newly-created Parcels into the then current tax roll),
(ii) because of the date the parcel map was recorded, the Assessor does not yet recognize the
new Parcels created by the parcel map, and (iii) one or more of the newly-created parcels
is in a different Development Class than other parcels created by the subdivision, the
Administrator shall calculate the Special Tax for the property affected by recordation of the
parcel map by determining the Special Tax that applies separately to the property within
each Development Class, then applying the sum of the individual Special Taxes to the Parcel
that was subdivided by recordation of the parcel map.

in Attachment 1, was calculated based on the Expected Land Uses at CFD Formation. As set
forth in Section E herein, Attachment 1 shall be modified to reflect the Expected Land Uses and
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues for Improvement Area No. 5 if property is annexed
to Improvement Area No. 5. Attachment 1 is also subject to modification upon the occurrence
of Land Use Changes, as described below. The Administrator shall review all Land Use
Changes within Improvement Area No. 5 and compare the revised land uses to the Expected
Land Uses to evaluate the impact on the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues.
If,prior to the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in
the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this
Section D. Upon approval of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update
Attachment 1 to show the reduced Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall
then be the amount used to size Bond sales.
If, after the first Bond sale, a Land Use Change is proposed that will result in a reduction in the
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, no action will be needed pursuant to this Section D
as long as the reduction in Net Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues does not reduce
debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage. Upon approval
of the Land Use Change, the Administrator shall update Attachment 1 to show the reduced Net
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, which shall then be the amount used to size future
bond sales.
If, after the first Bond sale, the Administrator determines that a proposed Land Use Change
would reduce debt service coverage on outstanding Bonds below the Required Coverage, a
prepayment must be made by the landowner requesting the Land Use Change in an amount
sufficient to retire Bonds in the amount necessary to maintain the Required Coverage.

E. ANNEXATIONS
If, in any Fiscal Year, a property owner within the Future Annexation Area wants to annex
property into Improvement Area No. 5, the Administrator shall apply the following steps as part
of the annexation proceedings:
Step 1. Working with City staff and the landowner, the Administrator shall determine
the number of Residential Units within each Square Footage Category that are
expected to be built within the area to be annexed.
Step 2. The Administrator shall prepare and keep on file an updated Attachment 1 that
adds the annexed property and identifies the revised Expected Land Uses,
Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues, and Special Tax Buffer for
Improvement Area No. 5. After the annexation is complete, the application of
Sections D, F and I of this RMA shall be based on the adjusted Expected Land
Uses and Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues including the newly
annexed property.
Step 3. The Administrator shall ensure that a Notice of Special Tax Lien is recorded
against all Parcels that are annexed to the CFD.
Step 4. The Administrator shall recalculate the Public Facilities Requirement used in
the prepayment calculation in Section I below to include the estimated net
proceeds that can be generated to fund Authorized Facilities based on the
Maximum Special Tax capacity from the annexed area. The adjusted Public
Facilities Requirement shall be calculated by (i) dividing the increased Expected
Maximum Special Tax Revenues that can be collected after the annexation by
the Expected Maximum Special Tax Revenues that were in place prior to the
annexation, and (ii) multiplying the quotient by the Public Facilities
Requirement that was in place prior to the annexation.
Step 5. The Administrator shall increase the acreage of exempt Public Property and
exempt Homeowners Association Property to include such acreage as estimated
in the area that was annexed.
F. METHOD OF LEVY OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Each Fiscal Year, the Administrator shall determine the Special Tax Requirement to be
collected in that Fiscal Year. A Special Tax shall then be levied according to the following
steps:
Step 1. In all Fiscal Years prior to the earlier of(i) the funding of all the Authorized
Facilities or (ii) the fifteenth Fiscal Year in which a Special Tax is levied on
Parcels in Improvement Area No. 5, the Maximum Special Tax shall be
levied on all Parcels of Developed Property. Pursuant to the flow of funds
set forth in the Indenture, any Special Tax proceeds collected that are not
needed to pay debt service on the Bonds, replenish reserves, or pay
Administrative Expenses shall be used to pay directly for Authorized
F-9
Facilities.
After the Fiscal Year in which the earlier of the two dates set forth above
occurs, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of
Developed Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
Parcel of Developed Property until the amount levied is equal to the Special
Tax Requirement.
Step 2. If additional revenue is needed after Step 1 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each
Parcel of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax
for each Parcel of Undeveloped Property.
Step 3. If additional revenue is needed after Step 2 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Homeowners Association Property up to 100% of the Maximum
Special Tax for each Parcel of Taxable Homeowners Association Property.
Step 4. If additional revenue is needed after Step 3 to pay the Special Tax
Requirement, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel
of Taxable Public Property, up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for
each Parcel of Taxable Public Property.
G. MANNER OF COLLECTION OF SPECIAL TAXES
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary
ad valorem property taxes, provided, however, that prepayments are permitted as set forth in
Section I below and provided further that the City may directly bill the Special Tax, may
collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner, and may collect
delinquent Special Taxes through foreclosure or other available methods.
The Special Tax shall be levied and collected until principal and interest on all Bonds have
been repaid, costs of constructing or acquiring Authorized Facilities have been paid, and all
Administrative Expenses have been paid or reimbursed. However, in no event shall Special
Taxes be levied after Fiscal Year 2050-51. Under no circumstances may the Special Tax on
a Parcel in residential use be increased in any Fiscal Year as a consequence of delinquency
or default in payment of the Special Tax levied on another Parcel or Parcels by more than ten
percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there
never been any such delinquencies or defaults.
F-10
H. EXEMPTIONS
Notwithstanding any other provision of this RMA, no Special Tax shall be levied on up to
14.72 Acres of Homeowners Association Property in Improvement Area No. 5, which acreage
amounts will be adjusted with each annexation of property into Improvement Area No. 5 as set
forth in Section E above. Tax-exempt status will be assigned by the Administrator to
Homeowners Association Property in chronological order based on the date on which
Parcels are transferred to the Homeowners Association. As of CFD Formation, there was no
Public Property or Non-Residential Property expected within Improvement Area No. 5;
therefore, all Public Property and all Non-Residential Property in Improvement Area No. 5
shall be Taxable Public Property and Taxable Non-Residential Property for purposes of this
RMA.
L PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The following definitions apply to this Section L
"Construction Fund" means the account (regardless of its name) identified in the
Indenture to hold funds which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or
construct Authorized Facilities.
"Outstanding Bonds" means all Previously Issued Bonds which remain
outstanding, with the following exception: if a Special Tax has been levied against, or
already paid by, an Assessor's Parcel making a prepayment, and a portion of the Special
Tax will be used to pay a portion of the next principal payment on the Bonds that
remain outstanding (as determined by the Administrator), that next principal payment
shall be subtracted from the total Bond principal that remains outstanding, and the
difference shall be used as the amount of Outstanding Bonds for purposes of this
prepayment formula.
"Previously Issued Bonds" means all Bonds that have been issued prior to the date
of prepayment.
"Public Facilities Requirement" means either $21 million in 2015 dollars, escalated
two percent (2.0%) per year beginning July 1, 2016 and each July 1 thereafter, or
such lower number as shall be determined by the City as sufficient to fund the
Authorized Facilities.
"Remaining Facilities Costs" means the Public Facilities Requirement minus
public facility costs funded by Previously Issued Bonds or Special Taxes.
1. Full Prepayment
The Special Tax obligation applicable to an Assessor's Parcel in Improvement Area No. 5
may be prepaid and the obligation of the Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax
permanently satisfied as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made only
if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of
prepayment. An owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax
F-11
obligation shall provide the City with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of
receipt of such written notice, the City or its designee shall notify such owner of the
prepayment amount for such Assessor's Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 75
days prior to any redemption date for Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid
Special Taxes. Under no circumstance shall a prepayment be allowed that would reduce debt
service coverage below the Required Coverage. The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated
as follows (capitalized terms as defined above or below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Remaining Facilities Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Defeasance Requirement
plus Administrative Fees and
Expenses less Reserve Fund Credit
equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount shall be determined by
application of the following steps:
Step 1. Determine the greater of(i) the total Maximum Special Tax that could be
collected from the Assessor's Parcel prepaying the Special Tax in the Fiscal
Year in which prepayment would be received by the City, or (ii) the
Maximum Special Tax that could be collected from the Parcel at buildout
based on Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 2. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Step 1 for such
Assessor's Parcel by the lesser of (i) the Maximum Special Tax Revenue
that could be collected in that Fiscal Year from property in Improvement
Area No. 5, or (ii) the Maximum Special Tax revenues that could be
generated at buildout of property in Improvement Area No. 5 based on the
Expected Land Uses at the time the prepayment is calculated.
Step 3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the Outstanding
Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and
prepaid (the "Bond RedemptionAmount'�.
Step 4. Compute the current Remaining Facilities Costs (if any).
Step 5. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Step 2 by the amount
determined pursuant to Step 4 to compute the amount of Remaining
Facilities Costs to be prepaid (the "Remaining Facilities Amount').
Step 6. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to Step 3 by
the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to
be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium'.
Step 7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption
Amount starting with the last Bond interest payment date on which interest
F-12
has been or will be paid by Special Taxes already levied until the earliest
redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds. If Bonds are callable at or
prior to the last Bond interest payment date on which interest has been
or will be paid by Special Taxes already levied, Steps 7, 8 and 9 of this
prepayment formula will not apply.
Step 8. Compute the amount of interest the City reasonably expects to derive from
reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount plus the Redemption
Premium from the first Bond interest payment date after which the
prepayment has been received until the redemption date for the Outstanding
Bonds.
Step 9. Subtract the amount computed pursuant to Step 8 from the amount
computed pursuant to Step 7 (the "Defeasance Requirement'.
Step 10. The administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment will
be determined by the Administrator and include the costs of computing the
prepayment, redeeming Bonds and recording any notices to evidence the
prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and
Expenses'.
Step 11. If, at the time the prepayment is calculated, the reserve fund is greater than
or equal to the reserve requirement, and to the extent so provided in the
Indenture, a reserve fund credit shall be calculated as a reduction in the
applicable reserve fund for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed pursuant
to the prepayment (the "Reserve Fund Credit'.
Step 12. The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed
pursuant to Steps 3, 5, 6, 9, and 10, less the amount computed pursuant to
Step 11 (the "PrepaymentAmount'�.
Step 13. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3,
6, and 9 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the
Indenture and be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service
payments. The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 shall be deposited into
the Construction Fund. The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 shall be
retained in the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative
Expenses of Improvement Area No. 5.
Once a full prepayment has been received, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall
be recorded against the Parcel. However, a Notice of Cancellation of Special Tax Lien shall not
be recorded until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years
have been collected.
F-13
2. Partial Prepayment
A partial prepayment may be made in an amount equal to any percentage of full
prepayment desired by the party making a partial prepayment, except that the full amount of
Administrative Fees and Expenses determined in Step 10 shall be included in the partial
prepayment. The Maximum Special Tax that can be levied on a Parcel after a partial
prepayment is made shall be determined as follows:
Step 1. Calculate the full prepayment (not including the amount collected for
Administrative Fees and Expenses) that would be due from the Parcel if the
entire Special Tax obligation were being prepaid pursuant to Section 1.1
above.
Step 2. Divide the partial prepayment amount for the Parcel (not including the
amount collected for Administrative Fees and Expenses) by the amount
computed in Step 1 to determine a percentage.
Step 3. Subtract the percentage computed in Step 2 from 100% to determine the
"Remaining Percentage."
Step 4. Multiply the Remaining Percentage from Step 3 by the Maximum Special
Tax for the Parcel to determine the new Maximum Special Tax that will
be in effect for the Parcel after the partial prepayment is applied.
When a partial prepayment is received, the proceeds shall be deposited as follows:
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 10 in Section L 1 shall be deposited
into the account or fund that is established to pay Administrative Expenses
of Improvement Area No. 5.
• The sum of the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 3, 6, and 9 in Section
L 1 shall be multiplied by the percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section
L2, and the product shall be the amount deposited into the appropriate fund
established under the Indenture to be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or
make debt service payments.
• The amount computed pursuant to Step 5 in Section 1.1 shall be multiplied
by the percentage determined in Step 2 of this Section L2, and the product
shall be the amount deposited into the Construction Fund.
Once a partial prepayment has been received, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall be
recorded against the Parcel. However, an Amendment to Special Tax Lien shall not be
recorded until all Special Taxes levied on the Parcel in the current or prior Fiscal Years
have been collected.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
DEEMING IT NECESSARY TO INCUR INDEBTEDNESS
Community Facilities District No. 2015-1
(Dublin Crossing)
WHEREAS, this City Council (this "City Council") of the City of Dublin (the "City")
has, by resolution adopted this same date (the "Resolution of Formation"), concluded its legal
proceedings pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (Sections 53311 and
following, California Government Code) (the "Act") to (a) establish a community facilities
district to be known as "Community Facilities District No. 2015-1 (Dublin Crossing), City of
Dublin, County of Alameda, State of California" ("CFD No. 2015-1"), (b) designate the territory
initially included within CFD No. 2015-1 as Improvement Area No. 1, (c) designate additional
territory as Future Annexation Area and (d) approve each of five instruments providing the rate
and method of apportionment of special tax (each, an "RMA"), with each RMA applicable to
one of the five anticipated improvement areas within CFD No. 2015-1, said five RMAs being
attached to the Resolution of Formation as Exhibits B through F, inclusive; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of establishing CFD No. 2015-1 (hereafter, all references to
CFD No. 2015-1 shall be deemed to include the territory initially designated as Improvement
Area No. 1 and additional territory later annexed to CFD No. 2015-1) is to provide financing,
through the levy and collection of a special tax on taxable property within CFD No. 2015-1 (the
"Special Tax") and the issuance and sale of special tax bonds or the establishment of other forms
of debt obligations (the "Obligations") to be secured by and payable from proceeds of the
Special Tax, for (a) a portion of the cost and expense of certain authorized public and private
utility capital improvements and fees (the "Authorized CFD Public Improvements"), together
with related incidental expenses of the authorized improvements and the legal proceedings for
formation of CFD No. 2015-1, (b) establishment of a reserve fund for the Obligations, (c)
funding of the costs of issuance of the Obligations and (d) funding of the on-going costs of
administration of CFD No. 2015-1; and
WHEREAS, by its Resolution Declaring Intention to Incur Indebtedness, Resolution No.
55-15, adopted by this City Council on April 21, 2015, pursuant to Section 53345 of the Act, this
City Council declared its intention to incur indebtedness with respect to CFD No. 2015-1 in
order to provide the financing described therein and scheduled a public hearing to be conducted
this same date with respect to the proposed Obligations, said hearing to be combined with the
public hearing on the proposed formation of CFD No. 2015-1 and proposed levy of the Special
Tax; and
WHEREAS, said public hearing has been conducted as scheduled, and upon the close
thereof, the Resolution of Formation was adopted; and
WHEREAS, in order to provide the financing of the Authorized CFD Public
Improvements and authorized incidental expenses as contemplated, this City Council wishes by
this resolution to deem it necessary to issue and sell the Obligations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City Council of the City of
Dublin hereby finds, determines and resolves as follows:
Section 1. In conformity with the provisions of Section 53351 of the Act, this City
Council finds and declares that, in order to finance the acquisition, construction and installation
of the Authorized CFD Public Improvements and related incidental expenses, as more fully
stated in the Resolution of Formation, it is deemed necessary to incur one or more Obligations to
be secured by and to be payable, as to the principal of and the interest thereon, from proceeds of
the Special Tax.
Section 2. The purpose for which the Obligations are to be established and incurred
is to provide the funds necessary to pay the costs and expenses of acquiring, constructing and
installing the Authorized CFD Public Improvements and related incidental expenses described in
Exhibit A of the Resolution of Formation and the related incidental expenses of the legal
proceedings and bond issuance costs described in Exhibit G of the Resolution of Formation.
Section 3. As further provided by the Resolution of Formation, CFD No. 2015-1 is
being established with the territory initially included within its boundary designated as
Improvement Area No. 1 and with additional territory designated as Future Annexation Area.
Territory in the Future Annexation Area, when annexed to CFD No. 2015-1, may be either (a)
designated as a separate improvement area (each, an "Improvement Area") or (b) annexed to a
previously-established Improvement Area, and the Special Tax will be levied upon the
nonexempt property within each Improvement Area in accordance with an RMA adopted for a
specific Improvement Area. The five separate RMAs, which are set forth as Exhibits B through
F, inclusive, of the Resolution of Formation, correspond with five separate Improvement Areas
identified as Improvement Area No. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, respectively.
The Obligations will be issued in sequential series, with each series to be secured solely
by the proceeds of the Special Tax levied on the nonexempt property within a given
Improvement Area, beginning with Improvement Area No. 1.
The maximum principal amount of the proposed Obligations to be authorized for CFD
No. 2015-1 is $150 million. The estimated allocation of this amount to the five respective
Improvement Areas of CFD No. 2015-1 is as follows:
a. For Improvement Area No. 1, $46 million;
b. For Improvement Area No. 2, $34 million;
c. For Improvement Area No. 3, $23 million;
d. For Improvement Area No. 4, $12 million; and
2
e. For Improvement Area No. 5, $35 million.
This estimated allocation among the respective Improvement Areas is based upon present
assumptions respecting (a) which portions of the territory comprising the Future Annexation
Area will be annexed into the respective Improvement Areas and (b) how those portions of the
territory will be developed, and the estimated allocation is subject to modification by the
Administrator (as said term is defined in the Improvement Area No. 1 RMA) if the territory
annexed to any given Improvement Area is different from the present assumptions or if those
portions of the territory are developed differently than presently assumed; provided that the total
maximum principal amount of the proposed Obligations shall remain at $150 million.
Section 4. Subject to the limit of$150 million on the aggregate principal amount of
the Obligations and to the requirements of the Resolution of Formation and this resolution,
determinations respecting (a) the amount of Obligations to be issued and (b) the amount and
timing of each issuance or incurrence of Obligations shall be subject to the discretion of this City
Council. The refunding of any of the Obligations shall not count against the limitation on the
aggregate principal amount of such Obligations, as provided by Section 53362.7 of the Act.
Section 5. It is the intention of this City Council that any such Obligations, when
issued or incurred, shall be made callable (if bonds) or prepayable (if loan agreements or like
instruments) in accordance with the terms to be specified in the resolution, indenture, trust
agreement or fiscal agent agreement providing for the form, execution and issuance or incurrence
of the Obligations, all in accordance with the terms of the Act.
Section 6. The last maturity of any series of the Obligations shall not be greater than
forty (40) years from the first maturity of any Obligations of such series, and the last maturity of
any Obligations with respect to CFD No. 2015-1 shall be not later than calendar year 2051.
Section 7. The maximum rate of interest shall be determined by competitive sale or
by negotiation at the time of sale or incurrence of the Obligations, but in any case shall not
exceed the maximum legal rate as specified, from time to time, by Government Code Section
53531 or any similar controlling provision of law.
Section 8. The question of the authorization to issue or incur Obligations shall be
submitted to the landowners owning land within CFD No. 2015-1, at the special mailed-ballot
election expected to be called and held this same date as authorized by written waiver and
consent from 100% of such landowners.
Section 9. The ballot language of the ballot measure and the manner of conducting
the election shall be established by the resolution to be adopted by this City Council calling the
special election as required by the Act.
