Formation Proceedi ngs. The Community Facilities District was formed, and Improvement Area No. 1 and Improvement Area No. 2 were designated therein, by the Community Facilities District pursuant to the Mello-Roos Act as discussed below.
The Mello-Roos Act was enacted by t he California legislature to provide an alternative method of financing certain public capital facilities and services, especially in developing areas of the State. Any local agency (as defined in the Mello-Roos Act) may establish a community facilities district to provide for and finance the cost of eligible public facilities and services. Generally, the legislative body of the local agency which forms a community facilities district acts on behalf of such dist rict as its legislative body. Subject to approval by two-thirds of the votes cast at an election and compliance with the other provisions of the Mello- Roos Act, a legislative body of a local agency may issue bonds for a community facilities district and may levy and collect a special tax within such district or any improvement area designated therein to repay such indebtedness.
Pursuant to the Mello-Roos Act, on April 4, 2023, the legislative body of the Community Facilities District adopted Resolution No. 2023-06 (the “Resolution of Intention”), stating its intention to form Community Facilities District No. 2023-1, designate Improvement Area Nos. 1 and 2 therein, and to authorize the levy of special taxes on the taxable property within Improvement Area No. 1 and Improvement Area No. 2.

Subsequent to a noticed public hearing, the legislative body of the Community Facilities District adopted Resolution Nos. 2023-22 and 2023-23 on June 20, 2023 (the “Resolution of Formation” and the “Resolution to Incur Debt,” respectively) which established the Community Facilities District , des ignated Improvement Area No. 1 and Improvement Area No. 2 therein, authorized the levy of a special tax within Improvement Area No. 2, determined the necessity to incur bonded indebtedness within the Community Facilities District, including for Improvement Area No. 1 and Improvement Area No. 2, and called election s within Improvement Area No. 1 and Improvement Area No. 2 on the propositions of incurring bonded indebtedness, levying special taxes and setting an appropriations limit therein and therefor.
On June 20, 2023, elections were held within Improvement Area No. 1 and Improvement Area No. 2 at which the landowners within each of Improvement Area No. 1 and Improvement Area No. 2 eligible to vote approved the issuance of bonds by the Community Facilities District in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $3,500,000 for Improvement Area No. 1 and not to exceed $11,000,0 00 for Improvement Area No. 2, and authorized the levy of a special tax to repay the bonds. A separate Notice of Special Tax Lien for each of Improvement Area No. 1 and Improvement Area No. 2 was recorded in the office of the County Recorder on July 6, 2023 as Document No. 2023-0194585 and Document No. 2023-014586, respectively. On July 18 , 2023, the Board, acting as the legislative bod y of the Community Facilities District , adopted Ordinance No. 1161 which authorized the levy of special taxes within Improvement Area No. 1 (the “Improvement Area No. 1 Special Tax”) pursuant to the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax for Improvement Area

No. 1 (the “Improvement Area No. 1 Rate and Method”) and within Improvement Area No. 2 (the “Improvement Area No. 2 Special Tax and, together with the Improvement Area No. 1 Special Tax, the “Special Taxes”) pursuant to the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax for Improvement Area No. 2 (the “Improvement Area No. 2 Rate and Method” and, together with the Improvement Area No. 1 Rate and Method, the “Rates and Methods”), all as approved by the eligible voters at the June 20, 2023, elections.

Such notice shall state the date of the notice, the redemption date, the redemption place and the redemption price and shall designate the CUSIP numbers, Bond numbers and the maturity or maturities (in the event of redemption of all of the Bonds of such maturi ty or maturities in whole) of the Bonds to be redeemed, and shall require that such Bonds be then surrendered at the Trust Office of the Trustee for redemption at the redemption price, giving notice also that further interest on such Bonds will not accrue after the redemption date.
In addition to the foregoing notice, further notice shall be sent by the Trustee in said form to any Bondowner whose Bond has been called for redemption but who has failed to submit his Bond for payment by the date which is sixty days after the redemption date, but no defect in said further notice nor any failure to give or receive all or any portion of such further notice shall in any manner defeat the effectiveness of a call for redemption.
Unless funds for the optional redempti on of any Bonds are irrevocably deposited with the Trustee prior to rendering notice of redemption to the Bondowners, such notice shall state that such redemption is subject to the deposit of funds by the Authority. Any notice of optional redemption shall be cancelled and annulled if for any reason funds will not be or are not available on the date fixed for redemption for the payment in full of the Bonds then called for redemption, and such cancellation shall not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture. The Authority and the Trustee shall have no liability to the Owners or any other party related to or arising from such rescission of redemption. The Trustee shall send notice of such rescission of redemption in the same manner as the original notice of redemption was sent.
Selection of Bonds of a Maturity for Redemption . Unless otherwise provided under the Indenture, whenever provision is made in the Indenture for the redemption of less than all of the Bonds of a maturity, the Trustee shall sel ect the Bonds to be redeemed from all Bonds of such maturity not previously called for redemption, by lot in any manner which the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem appropriate and fair. For purposes of such selection, all Bonds shall be deemed to be comprised of separate $5,000 authorized
11 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040
denominations, and such separate authorized denominations shall be treated as separate Bonds which may be separately redeemed.
Partial Redemption of Bonds. In the event only a portion of any Bond is called for redemption, then upon surrender of such Bond the Authority shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Owner thereof, at the expense of the Authority, a new Bond or Bonds of the same maturity date, of authorized denominations in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Bond to be redeemed.
Effect of Redemption . From and after the date fixed for redemption, if funds available for the payment of the principal of and interest (and premium, if any) on the Bonds so called for redemption have been duly provided, such Bonds so called will cease to be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture other than the right to receive payment of the redemption price, and no interest will accrue thereon from and after the redemption date specified in such notice. All Bonds redeemed pursuant to the Indenture will be cancelled and destroyed.
Payment, Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Bonds
Book-Entry Only System. The Bonds will be issued as fully registered bonds, registe red in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of DTC, and will be available to actual purchasers of the Bonds (the “Beneficial Owners”) in the denominations set forth above, under the book-entry system maintained by DTC, only through brokers and dealers who are or act through DTC Participants (as defined in Appendix B) as described herein.
Beneficial Owners will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of the Bonds. See “THE BONDS — Book-Entry Only System.” In the event that the book -entry-only system is no longer used with respect to the Bonds, the Bonds will be registered and transferred in accordance with the Indenture. See “THE BONDS — Book-Entry Only System.”
Transfer of Bonds . Subject to the book -entry only provisions of the Indenture, any Bond may in accordance with its terms, be transferred, upon the Bond Register, by the person in whose name it is registered, in person or by his duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of such Bond for cancellation, accompanied by delivery of a written instrument of transfer in a form approved by the Trustee, duly executed. Whenever any Bond is surrendered for transfer, the Authority will execute and the Trustee will thereupon authenticate and deliver to the transferee a new Bond or Bonds of like tenor, maturity and aggregate principal amount. No Bonds selected for redemption will be subject to transfer pursuant to the Indenture nor will any Bond be subject to transfer during the fifteen days prior to the selection of Bonds for redemption.
The cost of printing an y Bonds and any services rendered or any expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with any transfer or exchange will be paid by the Authority. However, the Owners of the Bonds will be required to pay any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid for any exchange or registration of transfer and the Owners of the Bonds will be required to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee and Authority in connection with the replacement of any mutilated, lost or stolen Bonds.
Exchange of Bo nds. Subject to the book -entry only provisions of the Indenture, Bonds may be exchanged at the Trust Office of the Trustee for Bonds of the same tenor and maturity and of other authorized denominations. No Bonds selected for redemption will be subject to exchange pursuant to the Indenture, nor will any Bond be subject to exchange during the fifteen days prior to the selection of Bonds for redemption.
The cost of printing Bonds and any services rendered or expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection wi th any transfer or exchange will be paid by the Authority.
Temporary Bonds. The Bonds may be issued initially in temporary form exchangeable for definitive Bonds when ready for delivery. The temporary Bonds may be printed, lithographed or typewritten, will be of such denominations as may be determined by the Authority and may contain such reference to any of the provisions of the Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Bond will be executed by the Authority and be registered and authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same
12 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040
manner as the definitive Bonds. If the Authority issues temporary Bonds, it will execute and furnish definitive Bonds without delay, and thereupon the temporary Bonds may be surrendered for cancellation, in exchange therefor at the Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Bonds an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Bonds of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Bonds will be entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture as definitive Bonds authenticated and delivered thereunder.
Bond Register. The Trustee will keep or cause to be kept at its Trust Office sufficient records for the registration and transfer of the Bonds, which will be the Bond Register and will at all times during regular business hours be open to inspection by the Authority upon reasonable notice; and, upon presentation for such purpose, the Trustee will, under such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, register or transfer or cause to be registered or transferred, on said records, Bonds as provided in the Indenture.
Bonds Mutilated, Lost, Destroyed or Stolen . If any Bond becomes mutilated, the Authority, at the expense of the Owner of said Bond, will execute, and the Trustee will thereupon authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like tenor and authorized denomination in exchange and substitution for the Bond so mutilated, but only upon surrender to the Trustee of the Bond so mutilated. Every mutilated Bond so surrendered to the Trustee will be cancelled by it and destroyed in accordance with the retention policy of the Trustee then in effect. If any Bond issued under the Indenture is lost, destroyed or stolen, evidence of such loss, destruction or theft may be submitted to the Trustee and, if such evidence be satisfactory to it and indemnity satisfactory to it is given, at the expense of the Bond Owner, the Authority will execute, and the Trustee will thereupon authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like tenor in lieu of and in substitution for the Bond so lost, destroyed or stolen (or if any such Bond has matured or has been called for redemption, instead of issuing a substitute Bond the Trustee may pay the same without surrender thereof upon receipt of indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee). The Trustee may require payment of a reasonable fee for each new Bond issued under the Indenture and of the expenses which may be incurred by the Authority and the Trustee. Any Bond issued under the Indenture in lieu of any Bond alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen will constitute an original contractual obligation on the part of the Authority whether or not the Bond alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen be at any time enforceable by anyone, and will be equally and proportionately entitled to the benefits of the Indenture with all other Bonds secured by the Indenture.
Book-Entry Only System
While the Bonds are subject to the book -entry system, the principal, interest and any redemption premium with respect to a Bond will be paid by the Trustee to DTC, which in turn is obligated to remit such payment to its DTC Participants for subsequent disbursement to Beneficial Owners of the Bonds, as described in Appendix G — “DTC AND THE BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM” herein. So long as Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Bonds, references herein to the Owners of the Bonds shall mean Cede & Co. and not the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds. The Authority gives no assurance that DTC or the DTC Participants will distribute payments or notices to Beneficial Owners.

Debt Service Coverage for the Bonds
Scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Bonds equals 100% of the projected Revenues that will be generated by the anticipated payment of debt service on each of the Local Obligations while the Bonds are outstanding. According to the Special Tax Consultant, based on the annual debt service for the Local Obligations, with respect to each Improvement Area, the Special Taxes levied at the maximum Special Tax rates under the related Rate and Method (as defined below), less estimated Administrativ e Expenses and assuming no delinquencies, would generate in each Fiscal Year not less than 110% of debt service payable with respect to each related series of Local Obligations. See “ IMPROVEMENT AREA NO. 1 ” and “IMPROVEMENT AREA NO. 2.” However, under the Mello-Roos Act, under no circumstances may Special Taxes levied against any parcel of property used for private residential purposes in an Improvement Area be
15 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040
increased by more than ten percent (10%) as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owne r of any other parcel within in such Improvement Area. See “SECURITY FOR THE LOCAL OBLIGATIONS.”
SECURITY FOR THE BONDS
General
As described below, the Bonds are payable primarily from Revenues consisting primarily of amounts received by the Authority as the result of its acquisition of the Local Obligations.
The Bonds are special obligations of the Authority payable solely from and secured solely by the Revenues and amounts in certain funds and accounts pledged therefor in the Indenture. The Bonds are not a debt or liability of the City, the State of California or any political subdivisions thereof other than the Authority to the limited extent described herein. The faith and credit of the Authority is not pledged to secure the payment of Bonds, nor is any of its political subdivisions liable therefor, nor in any event shall the Bonds or any interest or redemption premium thereunder be payable out of any funds or properties other than those of the Authority as set forth in the Indenture. The Authority has no taxing power.
Revenues and Flow of Funds
Bonds; Revenues. Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Bonds are secured by a first lien on and pledge (which shall be effected in the manner and to the extent provided in the Indenture) of all of the Revenues. The Bonds are equally secured by a pledge, charge and lien upon the Revenues without priority for any Bond over any other Bond; and the payment of the interest on and principal of the Bonds and any premiums upon the redemption of any Bonds a re secured by an exclusive pledge, charge and lien upon the Revenues. So long as any of the Bonds are Outstanding, the Revenues shall not be used for any purpose except as is expressly permitted by the Indenture.
Collection by the Trustee . The Authority has transferred in trust, granted a security interest in and assigned to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Owners from time to time of the Bonds, respectively, all of the Revenues and all of the right, title and interest of the Authority in the Local Obligations, subject to the terms of the Indenture. The Trustee is entitled to and will collect and receive all of the Revenues and any Revenues collected or received by the Authority will be deemed to be held, and to have been collected or received, by the Authority as the agent of the Trustee and will forthwith be paid by t he Authority to the Trustee. The Trustee also is entitled to and, s ubject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Trustee will take all steps, actions and proceedings reasonably necessary in its judgment to enforce, either jointly with the Authority or separately, all of the rights of the Authority and all of the obligations of the City and the Community Facilities District under the Local Obligations.
Deposit of Revenues. All Revenues derived from the Local Obligations, other than Local Obligation Delinquency Revenues, will be promptly deposited by the Trustee upon receipt thereof in the Revenue Fund.
Any Revenues which represent the payment of delinquent principal of or interest on an issue of Local Obligations will be first applied to make payments req uired pursuant to the Indenture upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and next to be deposited to the Reserve Fund to replenish the amount on deposit therein to the Reserve Requirement.
16 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040
Application of Revenues. On each Interest Payment Date, the Trustee will transfer from the Revenue Fund, and deposit into the following respective accounts for the Bonds, the following amounts in the following order of priority, the requirements of each such account (including the making up of any deficiencies in any such account resulting from lack of Revenues sufficient to make any earlier required deposit) at the time of deposit to be satisfied before any transfer is made to any account subsequent in priority:
Interest Account. On each Interest Payment Date, the Tru stee shall deposit in the Interest Account an amount required to cause the aggregate amount on deposit in the Interest Account to equal the amount of interest becoming due and payable on such Interest Payment Date on all Outstanding Bonds on such date. All moneys in the Interest Account shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of paying interest on the Bonds as it shall become due and payable (including accrued interest on any Bonds redeemed prior to maturity). In the event that t he amounts on deposit in the Interest Account on any Interest Payment Date, after any transfers from the Reserve Fund pursuant to the Indenture, are insufficient for any reason to pay the aggregate amount of interest then coming due and payable on the Outs tanding Bonds, the Trustee shall apply such amounts to the payment of interest on each of the Outstanding Bonds on a pro rata basis.
Principal Account. On each September 1 on which principal of the Bonds shall be payable, the Trustee shall deposit in the Principal Account an amount required to cause the aggregate amount on deposit in the Principal Account to equal the principal amount of, and premium (if any) on, the Bonds coming due and payable on such date, or required to be redeemed on such date pursuan t to the Indenture; provided, however, that no amount shall be deposited to effect an optional redemption of Bonds pursuant to the Indenture unless the Trustee has first received a certificate of an Independent Accountant or an Independent Financial Consultant certifying that such deposit to effect an optional redemption of the Bonds will not impair the ability of the Authority to make timely payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, assuming for such purposes that the Community Facilities Dist rict continues to make timely payments on all Local Obligations not then in default. All moneys in the Principal Account shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of (i) paying the principal of the Bonds at the maturity thereof or (ii) paying the principal of and premium (if any) on any Bonds upon the redemption thereof pursuant to the Indenture.
Reserve Fund. On each Interest Payment Date on which the balance in the Reserve Fund is less than the Reserve Requirement, or amounts are due to an insurer under a Reserve Credit Facility, after making deposits to the Interest Account and the Principal Account as described above, the Trustee shall transfer from the Revenue Fund , an amount sufficient to increase the balance in the Reserve Fu nd to the Reserve Requirement or to reimburse an insurer for draws under a Reserve Credit Facility, by depositing the amount necessary to make the various accounts therein equal to, together, the Reserve Requirement, provided the value of the moneys deposited therein, as invested, shall be valued at market value on such transfer date for purposes of making such determination; and provided, further, that the replenishment of the accounts of the Reserve Fund shall be made in accordance with the Indenture as described under “—Reserve Fund” below.
Deficiencies. If on any Interest Payment Date or date for redemption the amount on deposit in the Revenue Fund is inadequate to make the transfers above as a result of a payment default on an issue of Local Obligations, the Trustee will immediately notify the issuer of such Local Obligations of the amount needed to make the required deposits under “— Application of Revenues .” In the event that following such notice the Trustee receives Local Obligations Delinquency Re venues from the issuer of such Local Obligation to cure such shortfall, the Trustee shall deposit such amounts to the Revenue Fund for application in accordance with the Indenture. The Trustee shall disburse or transfer all Revenues representing Local Obligations Delinquency Revenues of the Community Facilities District first to cure any event of default on the Bonds caused by the nonpayment of the Local Obligations of such Improvement Area and then to replenish the amount in the Reserve Fund to the Reserv e Requirement, subject to the limitations described under the caption “ —Reserve Fund” below.
17 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040
Rebate Fund. On each Interest Payment Date after making the transfers required described above, upon receipt of a Request of the Authority to do so, the Truste e shall transfer from the Revenue Fund to the Rebate Fund for deposit in the accounts therein the amounts specified in such Request of the Authority.
Surplus Fund. On September 1 of each year, after making the deposits described above, the Trustee will transfer all amounts remaining on deposit in the Revenue Fund to the Administrative Expense Fund unless the Trustee has received a request of the Authority directing it to transfer all or a portion of the said amounts to the Surplus Fund, in which case the Trustee shall make the transfer to the Surplus Fund.
Reserve Fund
An account for each issue of Local Obligations will be established in the Reserve Fund (each, a “Reserve Account”). On the date of issuance of the Bonds, the Authority will deposit proceeds of the Bonds in the amount of $_____ into the Reserve Fund, which amount equals the Reserve Requirement as of the date of issuance of the Bonds. Each Local Obligation’s initial Proportionate Share will initially be as follows:
$______ in the Improvement Area No. 1 Reserve Account $______ in the Improvement Area No. 2 Reserve Account The Indenture defines “Proportionate Share” to mean as of the date of calculation for any issue of the Local Obligations, the ratio derived by dividing the outstanding principal amount of such Local Obligations by the principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds.
The aggregate of the foregoing amounts is equal to the Reserve Requirement as of the date of issuance of the Bonds, which is an amount equal to the lowest of (i) 10% of th e initial principal amount of the Bonds, (ii) Maximum Annual Debt Service on the Outstanding Bonds, or (iii) 125% of average Annual Debt Service on the Outstanding Bonds. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Reserve Requirement shall never be greater than the initial Reserve Requirement. In the event that the amount of the Reserve Requirement is changed, the Trustee will, upon receipt of a Request of the Authority, adjust the shares of each Reserve Account to reflect the new Reserve Requirement.
Subject to the limitations set forth in the following paragraph, moneys in the Reserve Fund will be used to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds when the moneys in the Interest Account and the Principal Account of the Revenue Fund are insufficient therefor. In addition, amounts in the Reserve Fund may be applied (i) in connection with an optional redemption of Bonds or a defeasance thereof, (ii) when the balance therein equals the principal and interest due on the Bonds to and including maturity, (iii) credited to an Improvement Area as a result of a reduction in the Reserve Requirement resulting from the redemption of the Local Obligations relating to such Improvement Area and the Bonds so redeemed in connection therewith, or (iv) when amounts in certain accoun ts of the Reserve Fund are transferred to the Interest Account and the Principal Account as a credit against the payments due on the Local Obligations in the event amounts in a Reserve Account are sufficient to repay the remaining principal and interest du e on the related Local Obligations that will be applied to the Bonds, as specified below.
If the amounts in the Interest Account or the Principal Account of the Revenue Fund are insufficient to pay the principal of or interest on the Bonds when due or mand atory sinking fund payments on the Bonds when due, the Trustee shall withdraw from the applicable Reserve Account or Reserve Accounts an amount equal to the deficiency resulting from the delinquency in the payment of scheduled debt service on the applicable Series of Local Obligations and transfer such amount to the Interest Account, the Principal Account or both, as applicable. If there are insufficient funds on deposit in a Reserve Account to cover a deficiency resulting from the delinquency in the payme nt of scheduled debt service on the applicable Series of Local Obligations, the Trustee shall withdraw from each of the other Reserve Accounts an amount based upon the Proportionate Share applicable to each such Reserve Account of such remaining deficiency and transfer such amounts to the Interest Account, the Principal Account or both, as applicable.
18 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040
Upon the transfer by the Trustee to the Reserve Fund of delinquent Revenues, such Revenues shall be allocated to the Reserve Accounts as follows:
First, to the Reserve Account for any series of Local Obligations, other than the Reserve Account to which such delinquent Revenues relate, that amount necessary to increase the amount on deposit in such account to the Reserve Requirement on a Proportionate Sha re basis if the deficiency in the amount on deposit in such account resulted from draws on such account due to delinquencies in the payment of scheduled debt service on that series of Local Obligations from which such delinquent Revenues were received. In the event that such delinquent Revenues are not sufficient to increase the amount on deposit in each of the applicable Reserve Accounts to the Reserve Requirement, a Proportionate Share of such delinquent Revenues shall be deposited in each such Reserve Account.
Second, after increasing the amount on deposit in each applicable Reserve Account to the applicable Proportionate Share of the Reserve Requirement pursuant to the second step, to the Reserve Account for the series of Local Obligations from which t he delinquent Revenues were received that amount necessary to replenish the amount on deposit in such Reserve Account to the applicable Proportionate Share of the Reserve Requirement.
Third, after making all deposits pursuant to the three steps above, the remaining delinquent Revenues, if any, shall be transferred to the Revenue Fund.
When amounts in a Reserve Account are sufficient to repay the remaining principal and interest due on the related Local Obligations that will be applied to the Bonds, such amo unts will be transferred to the Interest Account and the Principal Account as a credit against the payments due on such Local Obligations, with the amount transferred from a Reserve Account being deposited first to the Interest Account as a credit on the i nterest due on such Local Obligations on such date and the balance being deposited to the Principal Account as a credit on the principal due on such Local Obligations on such date.
Surplus Fund
Any amounts transferred to the Surplus Fund pursuant to the In denture shall no longer be considered Revenues and are not pledged to repay the Bonds. So long as Local Obligations are outstanding, on September 1 of each year after setting aside any amount specified in a Request of the Authority as necessary to pay Administrative Expenses, the remaining balance, if any, in the Surplus Fund shall (i) be transferred by the Trustee to the City for credit to the special tax fund for the Local Obligations, and the Community Facilities District shall be credited a percentage of the total amount available on each September 1 that is equal to the percentage which each series of its outstanding Local Obligation represents of all outstanding Local Obligations held by the Trustee as of the date of disbursement or (ii) as set forth in a Request of the City be applied to the redemption of Local Obligations pursuant to the terms of the Local Obligation Indenture with each series of Local Obligations to be credited a percentage of the total amount available on each September 1 that is e qual to the percentage which a series of outstanding Local Obligations represents of all outstanding Local Obligations held by the Trustee as of the date of disbursement. In the event that the Local Obligations have been redeemed or defeased in whole or i n part, then such credit shall be applied among the Local Obligations based on a Certificate of an Independent Financial Consultant prepared at the direction of the Authorized Representative of the City. In the event the Community Facilities District is no longer obligated to levy Special Taxes to repay Local Obligations, then any amounts in the Surplus Fund may be used by the Authority for any lawful purpose, including, but not limited to, the payment of expenses of the Authority, the City or the Communit y Facilities District relating to the Bonds, the Local Obligations, the Community Facilities District, or any other purpose as specified in a Request of the Authority delivered to the Trustee.
19 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040

SECURITY FOR THE LOCAL OBLIGATIONS
General
Each series of Local Obligations is a limited obligation of the Community Facilities District payable solely from Net Special Taxes (defined below) collected in the applicable Improvement Area and amounts deposited by the Community Facilities District in the applicable Special Tax Fund. The Community Facilities District’s limited obligation to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the applicable Local Obligations from Net Special Taxes collected in the applicable Improvement Area and amounts in the applicable Special Tax Fund is absolute and unconditional.
No Local Obligation (and no obligations issued on a parity therewith under the Local Obligation Indentures relating to the Local Obligations, each a “Local Obligation Parity Bond”) is a legal or equitable pledge, charge, lien or encumbrance upon any of the Community Facilities District’s respective property, or upon any of their income, receipts or revenues, except the Net Special Taxes collected in the applicable Improvement Area and other amounts in the applicable Special Tax Fund which are, under the ter ms of each Local Obligation Indentures and the Mello -Roos Act, set aside for the payment of the Local Obligations and
20 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040
interest thereon and neither the respective members of the legislative body of the Community Facilities District or the City Council nor a ny persons executing the Bonds are liable personally on the Bonds by reason of their issuance.
The “Special Taxes” for each Improvement Area are levied and collected according to the Rate and Method established for such Improvement Area. The complete Rate and Method for each of the Improvement Areas is attached hereto as Appendix A — “RATES AND METHODS OF APPORTIONMENT OF SPECIAL TAXES.”
The Local Obligations are not cross -collateralized. In other words, Special Taxes collected in one Improvement Area cannot be used to cover any shortfall in the payment of debt service on the Local Obligations of another Improvement Area. However, the Reserve Fund held by the Trustee and funded at the Reserve Requirement will be available in the event of delinquent Revenu es. See “SECURITY FOR THE BONDS — Reserve Fund” herein.
Except for the foregoing, no other taxes are pledged to the payment of the Local Obligations and Local Obligation Parity Bonds . The Local Obligations and any Local Obligation Parity Bonds are not general or special obligations of the City nor general obligations of the Community Facilities District , but are limited obligations of the Community Facilities District payable solely from amounts deposited by the Community Facilities District in certain funds established under the Local Obligation Indentures, as more fully described herein. The Community Facilities District’s limited obligation to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Local Obligations and any Local Obligation Parity Bonds from amounts in certain funds established under the Local Obligation Indentures is absolute and unconditional, free of deductions and without any abatement, offset, recoupment, diminution or set -off whatsoever. No Owner of the Local Obligations or any Local Obligation Parity Bonds may compel the exercise of the taxing power by the Community Facilities District (except as pertains to the Special Taxes) or the City or the forfeiture of any of their property. The principal of and interest on the Local Obligations and any Local Obligation Parity Bonds and premiums upon the redemption thereof, if any, are not a debt of the City, the State of California or any of its political subdivisions within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation or restriction.
The Special Taxes are collected in the manner and at the same time as ad valorem property taxes are collected and is subject to the same penalties and the same procedure, sale, and lien priority in case of delinquency as is provided for ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that the Community Facilities District may directly bill the Special Tax, and may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner as determined by the City Council.
Under the Mello-Roos Act under no circumstances will the Special Taxes levied against any parcel in an Improvement Area for which an occupancy permit for private residential use has been issued be increased by more than ten percent (10%) per Fiscal Year as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other parcel within such Improvement Area. Therefore, even though the maximum Special Tax rates may allow for Special Tax increases greater than 10%, in the event of high delinquencies in an Improvement Area, the Community Facilities District could not increase the Special Taxes in such Improvement Area in the Fiscal Year following such delinquencies by more than 10% on the residential units. See “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS — Special Tax Delinquencies.”
Local Obligation Indentures
The Local Obligations will be issued under separate Local Obligation Indentures to be executed and delivered in connection with such issuance. The following describes certain provisions of the Local Obligation Indentures, which are substantially similar.

Under the Local Obligation Indentures, the “Net Special Taxes” pledged by the Community Facilities District to the Local Obligations (and any related Local Obligation Parity Bonds) is defined as “Gross Special Taxes” minus amounts set aside to pay Administrative Expenses. “Gross Special Taxes” is defined in each Local Obligation Indenture as the amount of all Special Taxes received by the Community Facilities District from the Improvement Area, together with the proceeds collected from the sale of property pursuant to the foreclosure provisions of the Local Obligation Indenture for the delinquency of such Special Taxes remaining after the payment of all costs related to such foreclosure actions.
“Administrative Expenses” are the administrative costs with respect to the calculation and collection of the Special Taxes, including all attorneys’ fees and other costs related thereto, the fees and expenses of the Trustee, any fees and related costs for credit enhancement for the Local Obligations or which are not otherwise paid as Costs of Issuance, any costs related to the Community Facilities District’s compliance with state and federal laws requiring continuing disclosure of information concerning the Local Obligations, the Community Facilities District, and any other costs otherwise incurre d by the City on behalf of the Community Facilities District, in order to carry out the purposes of the Community Facilities District, as set forth in the Resolution of Formation and any obligation of the Community Facilities District under the Local Obligation Indenture.
Administrative Expenses also include the administrative costs with respect to the collection of Delinquency Proceeds.
The portion of any Prepayment received by the Community Facilities District that is to be applied to the redemption of Local Obligations will be identified as such by the Community Facilities District and transferred to Zions Bancorporation , National Association (“Zions Bancorporation”) for deposit in the Redemption Account. Except for the foregoing portion of any Prepayment to be deposited to the Redemption Account, the Community Facilities District will, as soon as practicable, transfer the Special Taxes received by the Community Facilities District to Zions Bancorporation for deposit in the applicable Special Tax Fund to be held by Zions Bancorporation in trust for the Owners of the Local Obligations . Zions Bancorporation wil l transfer the Special Taxes on deposit in the Special Tax Fund on the dates and in the amounts se t forth in the Local Obligation Indenture, in the following order of priority, to:
(1) The Administrative Expense Fund;
(2) The Interest Account of the Special Tax Fund;
(3) The Principal Account of the Special Tax Fund;
(4) The Trustee for deposit in the Reserve Account under the Authority Indenture the amount necessary to cause the balance on deposit therein to equal the applicable Improvement Area’s Proportionate Share of the Reserve Requirement;
(5) The Redemption Account of the Special Tax Fund; and (6) The Surplus Fund.
Each Local Obligation Indenture creates and establishes a Surplus Fund to be maintained by Zions Bancorporation. As soon as practicable after each September 1, and in any event prior to each October 1, Zions Bancorporation will transfer all remaining amounts in the Special Tax Fund to the Surplus Fund, unless on or prior to such date, it has received a Certificate of an Authorized Representative directing that certain amounts be retained in the Special Tax Fund because the Community Fac ilities District has included such amounts as being available in the Special Tax Fund in calculating the amount of the levy of Special Taxes for such Fiscal Year. The amounts in the Surplus Fund are not pledged to the repayment of the Local Obligations
22 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040
or any related Local Obligation Parity Bonds and may be used by the Community Facilities District for any lawful purpose.
Local Obligation Parity Bonds
The Local Obligation Indentures authorize the Community Facilities District to issue additional bonds payable from Special Taxes on a parity with the related Local Obligations but only for the purpose of refunding all or a portion of the applicable Local Obligations or Local Obligation Parity Bonds. Local Obligations will only be refunded if a corresponding amount of Bonds is refunded. For a description of the conditions established in each Local Obligation Indentures for the issuance of Local Obligation Parity Bonds, see Appendix B — “SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS.” Priority of Lien
Each installment of the Special Taxes and any interest and penalties thereon, constitutes a lien on the parcel of land on which it was imposed until the same is paid. Such lien is co -equal to and independent of the lien for general taxes or any other community facilities district special taxes.
Covenants of the Community Facilities District
In its respective Local Obligation Indenture, the Community Facilities District has made certain covenants, certain of which are described below.
Punctual Payment. The Community Fa cilities District will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of and interest on every Local Obligation and Local Obligation Parity Bond issued under its Local Obligation Indenture , together with the premium, if any, thereon on the date, at the place and in the manner set forth in the Local Obligations and Local Obligation Parity Bonds and in accordance with its Local Obligation Indenture to the extent that Net Special Taxes and other amounts pledged thereunder are available therefor, and that the payments into the Funds and Accounts created thereunder will be made, all in strict conformity with the terms of the Local Obligations , any Local Obligation Parity Bonds, and its Local Obligation Indenture , and that it will faithfully observe and perform all of the conditions, covenants and requirements of its Local Obligation Indenture and all Supplemental Indentures and of the Local Obligations and any Local Obligation Parity Bonds issued under its Local Obligation Indenture.
Against Encumbrance. The Community Facilities District will not mortgage or otherwise encumber, pledge or place any charge upon any of the Net Special Taxes except as provided in the Local Obligation Indenture, and will not issue any obligation or security having a lien or charge upon the Net Special Taxes superior to or on a parity with the Local Obligations, other than Local Obligation Parity Bonds. Nothing in the Local Obligation Indenture shall prevent the Community Facilities District from issuing or incurring indebtedness which is payable from a pledge of Net Special Taxes which is subordinate in all respects to the pledge of Net Special Taxes to repay the Local Obligations and the Local Obligation Parity Bonds.
23 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040
Levy of Special Tax . So long as any Local Obligations or Local Obligation Parity Bonds issued are Outstanding, the Community Facilities District covenants to levy the Special Tax in an amount sufficient, together with other amounts on deposit in the Special Tax Fund and available for such purpose, to pay (1) the principal of and interest on the Local Obligations and Local Obligation Parity Bonds when due, (2) the Administrative Expenses, (3) any amounts required to maintain the Reserve Account of the Special Tax Fund at the Reserve Requirement, and (4) any amounts required to replenish the applicable Reserve Account under the Authority Indenture to the Proportionate Share resulting from the delinquency in the payment of scheduled debt service on the Local Obligations and any Local Obligation Parity Bonds. The Community Facilities District further covenants that it will take no actions that would discontinue or cause the discontinuance of the Special Tax levy or the Community Facilities District’s authority to levy the Special Tax for so long as the Local Obligations and any Local Obligation Parity Bonds are Outstanding.
Commence Foreclosure Proceedings. The Community Facilities District covenants for the benefit of the Owners of the Local Obligations and any Local Obligation Parity Bonds that it will review the public records of the County of Riverside, California, in connection with the collection of the Special Tax not later than July 1 of each year to determine the amount of Special Tax collected in the prior Fiscal Year; and with respect to individual delinq uencies within an Improvement Area , if the Community Facilities District determines that any single property owner subject to the Special Tax is delinquent in the payment of Special Taxes in the aggregate of $2,500 or more or as to any single parcel the de linquent Special Taxes represent more than 5% of the aggregate Special Taxes within an Improvement Area , then the Community Facilities District will send or cause to be sent a notice of delinquency (and a demand for immediate payment thereof) to the proper ty owner within 45 days of such determination, and (if the delinquency remains uncured) the Community Facilities District will cause judicial foreclosure proceedings to be filed in the Superior Court within ninety (90) days of such determination against al l properties for which the Special Taxes remain delinquent; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Community Facilities District may elect to defer foreclosure proceedings on any parcel so long as the amount in the Reserve Account is at least eq ual to the Reserve Requirement and the amount in the Reserve Account for any series of Local Obligations is at least equal to the applicable Improvement Area’s Proportionate Share. The Community Facilities District may, but shall not be obligated to, adva nce funds from any source of legally available funds in order to maintain the Reserve Account and the Reserve Account for any series of Local Obligations . The Community Facilities District may treat any delinquent Special Tax sold to an independent third-party or to any funds of the City for at least 100% of the delinquent amount as having been paid. Proceeds of any such sale up to 100% of the delinquent amount will be deposited in the Special Tax Fund.
Special Taxes Are Not Within Teeter Plan
The Special Taxes are not encompassed within the alternate procedure for the distribution of certain property tax levies on the secured roll pursuant to Chapter 3, Part 8, Division 1 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code (Section 4701 et seq.), commo nly referred to as the “Teeter Plan.” The County has adopted a Teeter Plan under which a tax distribution procedure is implemented and secured roll taxes are distributed to taxing agencies within the County on the basis of the tax levy, rather than on the basis of actual tax collections.
However, by policy, the County does not include special taxes, assessments or assessments in its Teeter Plan.
The Special Taxes of the Improvement Areas are not included in the County’s Teeter Plan.
THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT
The Community Facilities District was formed by the City Council, and Improvement Area No. 1 and Improvement Area No. 2 were designated therein, pursuant to the Mello -Roos Act in 2023 . The Community Facilities District is located in the western portion of the City, west of the 10 Freeway and north of Oak Valley Parkway and includes a total of 419 residential lots comprising Planning Area 4B of the Fairway Canyon master planned community. The Fairway Canyon master planned community surr ounds the Morongo Golf Club at Tukwet Canyon golf course, which meanders through the community. At buildout, Fairway Canyon is expected to consist of approximately 3,300 residential units on approximately 1,556 acres of land, with 46.4
24 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040
acres of commercial/industrial land uses and the balance set aside for public/quasi/public uses. As of October 1, 2025, approximately 2,588 homes within Fairway Canyon have been completed and sold to individual homeowners.
The Community Facilities District consists of Impro vement Area No. 1 and Improvement Area No. 2 and is expected to be developed with a total of 419 single family homes, as described further under the captions “IMPROVEMENT AREA NO. 1” and “IMPROVEMENT AREA NO. 2.” IMPROVEMENT AREA NO. 1

Public education instruction is provided by the Beaumont Unified School District.
According to the Seismic Safety Commission, the area within Improvement Area No. 1 is located within Zone 4, which is considered to be the highest risk zone in California. There are only two zones in California: Zone 4, which is assigned to are as near major earthquake faults, and Zone 3, which is assigned to all other areas of more moderate seismic activity. In addition, the property within Improvement Area No. 1 is located in a Fault-Rupture Hazard Zone (formerly referred to as an Alquist -Priolo Study Zone). Furthermore, a substantial portion of Improvement Area No. 1 is located in an area which the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection of the State of California has designated as either a high or very high fire hazard severity zone.

Property Values and the Appraisal Report
General. The extent to which the Special Tax within Improvement Area No. 1 provides security for the Improvement Are No. 1 Bonds is, at least in part, a function of the value of each parcel of land within Improvement Area No. 1 that is subject to the Special Tax because, in the event that a property owner defaults in the payment of the applicable Special Tax, such property owner will not have any personal liability for the payment of the Special Tax, and the principal remedy available to the Community Facilities District will be to take foreclosure proceedings with respect to the subject property.
Assessed Value. The assessed value of the property within Improvement Area No. 1 represents the secured assessed valuation established by the County Assessor. Assessed values do not necessarily represent market values. Article XIIIA of the California Constitution (Proposition 13) defines “full cash value” to mean “the County assessor’s valuation of real property as shown on the 1975/76 roll under ‘full cash value’, or, thereafter, the appraised value of real property when purchased or newly constructed or when a change in ownership has occurred after the 1975 assessment,” subject to exemptions in certain circumstances of property transfer or reconstruction. The “full cash value” is subject to annual adjustment to reflect increases, not to exceed 2% for any year, or decreases in the consumer price index or comparable local data, or to reflect reductions in property value caused by damage, destruction or other factors. Because of the general limitation to 2% per year in increases in full cash value of properties which remain in the same ownership, the County tax roll does not reflect values uniformly proportional to actual market values. There can be no assurance that the assessed valuations of the properties within Improvement Area No. 1 accurately reflect their respective market values, and the future fair market values of those properties may be lo wer than their current assessed
26 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040
valuations. The Fiscal Year 2025-26 assessed value of the property in Improvement Area No. 1 is $67,338,268.
Appraised Values. As a result of the requirements of Article XIIIA of the California Constitution, a property’s assessed value is not necessarily indicative of its market value. In order to provide information with respect to the value of the property within the Distric t, the City engaged Integra Realty Resources, the Appraiser, to prepare the Appraisal Report. The Appraiser has an “MAI” designation from the Appraisal Institute and has prepared numerous appraisals for the sale of land -secured municipal bonds. The Appra iser has no material relationships with the City, the Community Facilities District, the developers or the owners of the land within the Community Facilities District other than the relationship represented by the engagement to prepare the Appraisal Report . The City instructed the Appraiser to prepare its analysis and report in conformity with City-approved guidelines and the Appraisal Standards for Land Secured Financings published in 1994 and revised in 2004 by the California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission. A copy of the Appraisal Report is included as Appendix C —“APPRAISAL REPORT” to this Official Statement.
The purpose of the Appraisal Report was to estimate the market value of the property within the District subject to the lien of the Special Taxes. Subject to the assumptions and limiting conditions set forth in the Appraisal Report, as of September 5, 2025 , the Appraiser estimated the minimum aggregate value of the fee simple interest of the taxable property within Improvement Area No. 1 w as not less than $79,893,725, consisting of an aggregate Fiscal Year 2025-26 assessed value of $13,293,725 for the 21 single family homes with a complete improvement value assigned by the County for Fiscal Year 2025 -26, and an aggregate appraised value of $66,600,000 for the 111 single family homes which did not have a complete improvement value assigned by the County for Fiscal Year 2025-26.
Reference is made to Appendix C for a complete list of the assumptions and limiting conditions and a full discussion of the appraisal methodology and the basis for the Appraiser’s opinions. In the event that any of the contingencies, assumptions and limiting conditions are not actually realized, the value of the property within Improvement Area No. 1 may be less than the amount reported in the Appraisal Report. In any case, there can be no assurance that any portion of the property within Improvement Area No. 1 would actually sell for the amount indicated by the Appraisal Report.
The Appraisal Report merely indicates the Appraiser’s opinion as to the market value of the property referred to therein as of the date and under the conditions specified therein. The Appraiser’s opinion refle cts conditions prevailing in the applicable market as of the date of the Appraisal Report. The Appraiser’s opinion does not predict the future value of the subject property, and there can be no assurance that market conditions will not change adversely in the future.
It is a condition precedent to the issuance of the Bonds that the Appraiser deliver to the Community Facilities District a certification to the effect that, while the Appraiser has not updated the Appraisal Report since its date and has not un dertaken any obligation to do so, nothing has come to the attention of the Appraiser subsequent to the date of the Appraisal Report that would cause the Appraiser to believe that the value of the property that it appraised in Improvement Area No. 1 is less than the value reported in the Appraisal Report. However, the Appraiser notes that acts and events may have occurred since the date of the Appraisal Report which could result in both positive and negative effects on market value within Improvement Area No. 1.
Estimated Value-to-Lien Ratios
Table 5 below incorporates the values assigned to parcels in the Appraisal Report, the estimated principal amount of the Improvement Area No. 1 Bonds allocable to each category of parcels and the estimated assessed/appraised value -to-lien ratios for various categories of parcels based upon land values as of September 5, 2025, as set forth in the Appraisal Report. Based on the principal amount of the Improvement Area No. 1 Bonds, the estimated assessed/appraised value -to-lien ratio for Improvement Area No. 1 including
27 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040
all Taxable Property is 38.97-to-1. This ratio does not include other direct and overlapping debt within the District. See “ —Direct and Overlapping Indebtedness” below. Taking that direct and overlapping debt into account, the ratio of the aggregate assessed/appraised value of the Taxable Property within Improvement Area No. 1 to the total principal amount of all direct and overlapping bonded debt for Improvement Area No. 1 is approximately 16.60-to-1*.
Table 6 below summarizes the assessed/appraised value -to-lien of the property within Improvement Area No. 1 by value-to-lien ranges for purposes of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Special Tax levy.

Table 8 below describes the estimated Fiscal Year 2025-26 effective tax burden for a property within Improvement Area No. 1 based on the average value of a home within Improvement Area No. 1 with a complete improvement value assigned by the County for Fiscal Year 2025 -26, the estimated Fiscal Year 2025- 26 Special Tax levy and the Fiscal Year 2025-26 levies for all other overlapping taxing jurisdictions. Based on the foregoing and the projected debt service on the Improvement Area No. 1 Bonds and the Administrative Expenses Cap of $30,000 in Fiscal Year 202 5-26 (which amount shall escalate at 2.00% per Fis cal Year), the projected effective tax rate to be levied in Improvement Area No. 1 will average approximately 1.91%.

Property Values and the Appraisal Report
General. The extent to which the Special Tax within Improvement Area No. 2 provides security for the Improvement Are No. 2 Bonds is, at least in part, a function of the value of each parcel of land within Improvement Area No. 2 that is subject to the Special Tax because, in the event that a property owner defaults in the payment of the applicable Special Tax, such property owner will not have any personal liability for the payment of the Special Tax, and th e principal remedy available to the Community Facilities District will be to take foreclosure proceedings with respect to the subject property.
Assessed Value. The assessed value of the property within Improvement Area No. 2 represents the secured assesse d valuation established by the County Assessor. Assessed values do not necessarily represent market values. Article XIIIA of the California Constitution (Proposition 13) defines “full cash value” to mean “the County assessor’s valuation of real property as shown on the 1975/76 roll under ‘full cash value’, or, thereafter, the appraised value of real property when purchased or newly constructed or when a change in ownership has occurred after the 1975 assessment,” subject to exemptions in certain circumsta nces of property transfer or reconstruction. The “full cash value” is subject to annual adjustment to reflect increases, not to exceed 2% for any year, or decreases in the consumer price index or comparable local data, or to reflect
36 4915 -7262-1161v5/022599-0040
reductions in property value caused by damage, destruction or other factors. Because of the general limitation to 2% per year in increases in full cash value of properties which remain in the same ownership, the County tax roll does not reflect values uniformly proportional to actual market values. There can be no assurance that the assessed valuations of the properties within Improvement Area No. 2 accurately reflect their respective market values, and the future fair market values of those properties may be lower than their current assessed valuations. The Fiscal Year 2025 -26 assessed value of the property in Improvement Area No. 2 is $133,428,526.
Appraised Values. As a result of the requirements of Article XIIIA of the California Constitution, a property’s assessed value is not necessarily indicative of its market value. In order to provide information with respect to the value of the property within the District, the City engaged Integra Realty Resources, the Appraiser, to prepare the Appraisal Report. The Appraiser has an “MAI” designation from the Appraisal Institute and has prepared numerous appraisals for the sale of land -secured municipal bonds. The Appraiser has no material relationships with the City, the Community Facilities District, the developers or the owner s of the land within the Community Facilities District other than the relationship represented by the engagement to prepare the Appraisal Report. The City instructed the Appraiser to prepare its analysis and report in conformity with City -approved guidelines and the Appraisal Standards for Land Secured Financings published in 1994 and revised in 2004 by the California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission. A copy of the Appraisal Report is included as Appendix C —“APPRAISAL REPORT” to this Official Statement.
The purpose of the Appraisal Report was to estimate the market value of the property within the District subject to the lien of the Special Taxes. Subject to the assumptions and limiting conditions set forth in the Appraisal Report, as of September 5, 2025 , the Appraiser estimated the minimum aggregate value of the fee simple interest of the taxable property within Improvement Area No. 2 was not less than $ 162,727,411, consisting of an aggregate Fiscal Year 2025-26 assessed value of $90,399,411 for the 148 single family homes with a complete improvement value assigned by the County for Fiscal Year 2025 -26, and an aggregate appraised value of $72,328,000 for the 139 single family homes which did not have a complete improvement value assigned by the County for Fiscal Year 2025-26.
Reference is made to Appendix C for a complete list of the assumptions and limiting conditions and a full discussion of the appraisal methodology and the basis for the Appraiser’s opinions. In the event that any of the cont ingencies, assumptions and limiting conditions are not actually realized, the value of the property within Improvement Area No. 2 may be less than the amount reported in the Appraisal Report. In any case, there can be no assurance that any portion of the property within Improvement Area No. 2 would actually sell for the amount indicated by the Appraisal Report.
The Appraisal Report merely indicates the Appraiser’s opinion as to the market value of the property referred to therein as of the date and under t he conditions specified therein. The Appraiser’s opinion reflects conditions prevailing in the applicable market as of the date of the Appraisal Report. The Appraiser’s opinion does not predict the future value of the subject property, and there can be n o assurance that market conditions will not change adversely in the future.
It is a condition precedent to the issuance of the Bonds that the Appraiser deliver to the Community Facilities District a certification to the effect that, while the Appraiser has not updated the Appraisal Report since its date and has not undertaken any obligation to do so, nothing has come to the attention of the Appraiser subsequent to the date of the Appraisal Report that would cause the Appraiser to believe that the value of t he property that it appraised in Improvement Area No. 2 is less than the value reported in the Appraisal Report. However, the Appraiser notes that acts and events may have occurred since the date of the Appraisal Report which could result in both positive and negative effects on market value within Improvement Area No. 2.
37 4915 -7262-1161v5/022599-0040
Estimated Value-to-Lien Ratios
Table 12 below incorporates the values assigned to parcels in the Appraisal Report, the estimated principal amount of the Improvement Area No. 2 Bonds allocable to each category of parcels and the estimated assessed/appraised value -to-lien ratios for various categories of parcels based upon land values as of September 5, 2025, as set forth in the Appraisal Report. Based on the principal amount of the Improve ment Area No. 2 Bonds, the estimated assessed/appraised value -to-lien ratio for Improvement Area No. 2 including all Taxable Property is 23.20 -to-1. This ratio does not include other direct and overlapping debt within the District. See “ —Direct and Over lapping Indebtedness” below. Taking that direct and overlapping debt into account, the ratio of the aggregate assessed/appraised value of the Taxable Property within Improvement Area No. 2 to the total principal amount of all direct and overlapping bonded debt for Improvement Area No. 2 is approximately 11.91-to-1*.
Table 13 below summarizes the assessed/appraised value -to-lien of the property within Improvement Area No. 2 by value-to-lien ranges based on the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Special Tax levy.

Direct and Overlapping Debt
Improvement Area No. 2 is included within the boundaries of overlapping local agencies providing governmental services. Some of these local agencies have outstanding bonds, and/ or the authority to issue bonds, payable from taxes or assessments. The existing and authorized indebtedness payable from taxes and assessments that may be levied upon the property within Improvement Area No. 2 is shown in Table 14 below.
In addition to current debt, new community facilities districts and/or special assessment districts could be formed in the future encompassing all or a portion of the property within Improvement Area No. 2; and such districts or the agencies that formed them could issue more bonds and levy additional special taxes or assessments.

SPECIAL RISK FACTORS
The Bonds have not been rated by any rating agency, and t he purchase of the Bonds involves significant risks and is not a suitable investment for all investors. The following is a discussion of certain risk factors which should be considered, in addition to other matters set forth herein, in evalua ting the investment quality of the Bonds. This discussion does not purport to be comprehensive or definitive and does not purport to be a complete statement of all factors which may be considered as risks in evaluating the credit quality of the Bonds. The occurrence of one or more of the events discussed herein could adversely affect the ability or willingness of property owners in the Improvement Areas to pay their Special Taxes when due. Such failures to pay Special Taxes could result in the inability of the Community Facilities District to make full and punctual payments of debt service on the Local Obligations which comprise the Revenues available to pay debt service on the Bonds. In addition, the occurrence of one or more of the events discussed her ein could adversely affect the value of the property in the Improvement Areas. See “—Property Values” and “ —No Rating – Limited Secondary Market.”
Risks of Real Estate Secured Investments Generally
Because the timely payment of debt service on the Bonds w ill be dependent upon the timely payment of the Local Obligations and the timely payment of the Local Obligations will be dependent upon the timely payment of Special Taxes, which are secured ultimately by the Taxable Property within the Improvement Areas, the Bond Owners will be subject to the risks generally incident to an investment secured by real estate, including, without limitation, (i) adverse changes in local market conditions, such as changes in the market value of real property in and around the vicinity of the Improvement Area s, the supply of or demand for competitive properties in such area, and the market value of residential property or buildings and/or sites in the event of sale or foreclosure; (ii) changes in real estate tax rates and other operating expenses, governmental rules (including, without limitation, zoning laws and laws relating to endangered species and hazardous materials) and fiscal policies; (iii) natural disasters (including, without limitation, earthquakes, wildfires, floods, drought and windstorms), which may result in uninsured losses; and (iv) adverse changes in local market conditions.
43 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040
The Bonds are Limited Obligations of the Authority
The Bonds are limited obligations of the Authority payable only from amounts pledged und er the Indenture, which consist primarily of payments made to the Trustee on the Local Obligations and the Reserve Fund. Funds for the payment of the principal of and the interest on the Local Obligations are derived only from payments of Special Taxes. The amount of Special Taxes that are collected could be insufficient to pay principal of and interest on the Local Obligations due to non -payment of the Special Taxes levied or due to insufficient proceeds received from a judicial foreclosure sale of land within the Improvement Areas following delinquency. The Community Facilities District’s legal obligations with respect to any delinquent Special Taxes is limited to the institution of judicial foreclosure proceedings under certain circumstances with respe ct to any parcels for which Special Taxes is delinquent. The Bonds cannot be accelerated in the event of any default.
Failure by owners of the parcels within the Improvement Areas to pay Special Tax installments when due, delay in foreclosure proceedings, or the inability of the Community Facilities District to sell parcels which have been subject to foreclosure proceedings for amounts sufficient to cover the delinquent installments of Special Taxes levied against such parcels may result in the inability o f the Community Facilities District to make full or timely payments of debt service on the Local Obligations, which may, in turn, result in the depletion of the Reserve Fund and the inability of the Authority to make full or timely payment on the Bonds.
No Obligation of the City
The Local Obligations and the interest thereon, and in turn, the Bonds, are not payable from the general funds of the City. Except with respect to the Special Taxes, neither the credit nor the taxing power of the Community Faciliti es District or the City is pledged for the payment of the Local Obligations or the interest thereon, and except to compel a levy of the Special Taxes securing the Local Obligations, no Owner of the Bonds may compel the exercise of any taxing power by the C ommunity Facilities District or the City or force the forfeiture of any property of the City or the Community Facilities District. The principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds are not a debt of the City or the Community Facilities District or a legal or equitable pledge, charge, lien or encumbrance upon any of the City’s or the Community Facilities District’s property or upon any of the City’s or the Community Facilities District’s income, receipts or revenues, except the Revenues and other amounts pledged under the Indenture.
No Cross-Collateralization Between Improvement Areas
The Local Obligations are not cross -collateralized. In other words, the Special Taxes from one Improvement Area cannot be used directly to cover any shortfall in the payment of debt service on the Local Obligations of another Improvement Area . However, all amounts in the Reserve Fund are available to pay debt service on the Bonds if the amounts in the Interest Account or the Principal Account of the Revenue Fund are insufficient to pay the principal of or interest on the Bonds when due . See the caption “SECURITY FOR THE BONDS — Reserve Fund.”
Potential Early Redemption of Bonds from Prepayments or Other Sources Property owners within the Improvement Area s are permitted to prepay their Special Taxes at any time. Such prepayments could also be made from the proceeds of bonds issued by or on behalf of an overlapping community facilities district. Such prepayments wi ll result in a redemption of Local Obligations on the first March 1 or September 1 which is more than 30 days following the receipt of the prepayment. The proceeds of the Local Obligations so redeemed will then be used to make a mandatory redemption of th e Bonds. Such mandatory redemption of Bonds that were purchased at a price greater than par could reduce the otherwise expected yield on such Bonds. See “THE BONDS — Redemption — Special Redemption.”
44 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040
Property Values
The value of property within the Improvement Area s is an important factor in evaluating the investment quality of the Bonds. In the event that a property owner defaults in the payment of a Special Tax installments, a Community Facilities District’s only remedy is to judicially foreclose on th at property.
Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should not assume that the property within the Improvement Areas could be sold for the assessed values described herein at a foreclosure sale for delinquent Special Tax installments or for an amount adequate to pay delinquent Special Tax installments.
The assessed values set forth in this Official Statement do not represent market values arrived at through an appraisal process and generally reflect only the sales price of a parcel when acquired by its curr ent owner, increased or decreased annually by an amount determined by the Riverside County Assessor based on current market conditions, generally not to exceed an increase of more than 2% per Fiscal Year from the date of purchase (except in the case of new construction subsequent to such acquisition). No assurance can be given that a parcel could actually be sold for its assessed value.
The actual market value of the property is subject to future events such as downturn in the economy, occurrences of certa in acts of nature and the decisions of various governmental agencies as to land use, all of which could adversely impact the value of the property in the Improvement Area s which is the security for the Local Obligations, which secure the Bonds. As discuss ed herein, many factors could adversely affect property values within the Improvement Area s.
Natural Disasters
General. The market value of the property within the Improvement Areas can be adversely affected by a variety of factors which may affect publ ic and private improvements. Such additional factors include, without limitation, geologic conditions (such as earthquakes), topographic conditions (such as earth movements) and climatic conditions (such as droughts, fire hazard and floods). In the event of a severe earthquake, fire, flood or other natural disaster, there may be significant damage to both property and infrastructure in the Improvement Areas . As a result, a substantial portion of the property owners may be unable or unwilling to pay the S pecial Taxes when due. In addition, the value of land in the Improvement Areas could be diminished in the aftermath of such a natural disaster, reducing the resulting proceeds of foreclosure sales in the event of delinquencies in the payment of the Specia l Taxes.
Geologic Conditions and Seismic Activity . Southern California is a seismically active area. Seismic activity represents a potential risk for damage to buildings, roads, bridges and property within the Taxing Jurisdictions. In addition, land susceptible to seismic activity may be subject to liquefaction during the occurrence of such event. According to the Seismic Safety Commission, the area within the Improvement Areas are located within Zone 4, which is considered to be the highest risk zone in California. There are only two zones in California: Zone 4, which is assigned to areas near major earthquake faults, and Zone 3, which is assigned to all other areas of more moderate seismic activity. In addition, the property within the Improvement Areas are located in a Fault-Rupture Hazard Zone (formerly referred to as an Alquist -Priolo Study Zone).
Flooding. The Improvement Areas are not located within a 500-year floodplain.
Wildfires. In recent years, wildfires have cau sed extensive damage throughout the State, including within the County. Certain of these fires have burned thousands of acres and destroyed hundreds and in some cases thousands of homes. In some instances entire neighborhoods have been destroyed. Severa l fires in recent years damaged or destroyed property in areas that were not previously considered to be at risk from such events. In particular, certain electrical operators in the State have seen their distribution/transmission lines cause billions of d ollars in property damage and the loss of lives. In 2023, as in several prior years, for example, devastating wildfires burned in various communities in the State, causing wide -spread damage. In 2025, communities in Los Angeles County, including Pacific Palisades, Malibu and Altadena, experienced
45 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040
widespread devastation from wildfires causing losses of life, thousands of burned homes, and billions of dollars in property damage. Riverside County is also periodically subject to large -scale wildfires and is expected to be subject to wildfires in the future. In recent years, wildfires have burned hundreds of acres at a time and destroyed dozens of homes and structures in Riverside County. The City is located in the San Gorgonio Pass between the San Bernardino Mountains and the San Jacinto Mountains. Both mountain regions are heavily forested and routinely subject to forest fires.
On January 16, 2025, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N -10-25 (the “Governor’s Order) which canceled penalties, cost s and interest on overdue property taxes (including special taxes) within certain zip codes affected by the Palisades Fire during calendar year 2025. This will likely cause a delay in the payment of special taxes by certain property owners in any community facilities districts affected by Governor’s Order. Unless the majority of property owners within the community facilities districts pay their special taxes voluntarily or have mortgage impound accounts, it is likely that the community facilities distric ts will need to draw upon a reserve fund to make debt service payments on outstanding bonds prior to the expiration of the Governor’s Order and it is possible that outstanding bonds will experience a payment default.
In the event of a major fire or other natural disaster affecting the Improvement Areas, a similar order affecting the Improvement Areas could impact the debt service payment for the Bonds .
In March 2025, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (“ Cal Fire”) released an updated Fire Hazard Severity Zone map for the Southern California region . The Cal Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps evaluate fire hazard, which is defined as the likelihood and expected fire behavior over a 30 to 50- year period without considering mitigation measures such as home hardening, recent wildfire or fuel reduction efforts, as opposed to risk, which is the potential damage a fire can do to the area under existing conditions, accounting for any modifications such as fuel reduction projects, defensible space, and ignition resistant building construction. Pursuant to State law, the State Fire Marshal is mandated to classify the state responsibility areas where the state has financial responsibility for wildfire protection and prevention into Fire Hazard Severi ty Zones classified as “Moderate,” “High” or “Very High.” In areas designated as local responsibility areas, where local agencies have financial responsibility for wildfire protection and prevention, Cal Fire’s Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps make recommen dations for the classification of Moderate, High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones and the local agencies must adopt maps which either adopt Cal Fire’s recommendations or place the relevant areas in a higher classification. For more information on C al Fire’s Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps, see the C al Fire website.
A substantial portion of the property in the Improvement Areas is located in an area which the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection of the State of California has designated as either a high or very high fire hazard severity zone. There is a risk of residential property within the Improvement Areas being destroyed by wildfires and no assurance can be given as to the severity or frequency of wildfires within the vicinity of the Improvement Area. Additionally, property located adjacent to burn areas can be subject to mudslides and flooding, which can cause significant damage and destruction to property.
Property Insurance
In recent years, homeowners in many areas in the State have experienced significant increases in premiums for property and homeowners’ insurance policies as well as difficulty in obtaining such insurance from commercial insurance companies. The increases have been driven by, among other factors, the risk of wildfire damage to property in the State.
In addition, no assurances can be made that adequate homeowners’ insurance coverage will be available in the future from reputable insurance companies, with premiums comparable to historical rates, or at all. The ina bility to obtain adequate insurance coverage could impact the ability of the homeowners’ in the Improvement Areas to reconstruct their homes in the event of damage.
46 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040
Hazardous Substances
While government taxes, assessments and charges are a common claim aga inst the value of a parcel, other less common claims may also be relevant. One of the most serious in terms of the potential reduction in the value of a parcel is a claim with regard to a hazardous substance. In general, the owners and operators of a parcel may be required by law to remedy conditions relating to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances. The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, sometimes referred to as “CERCLA” or the “Super Fund Act,” is the most well -known and widely applicable of these laws, but California laws with regard to hazardous substances are also stringent and similar in effect.
Under many of these laws, the owner (or operator) is obligated to remedy a hazardous s ubstance condition of a parcel whether or not the owner (or operator) had anything to do with creating or handling the hazardous substance. The effect, therefore, should any of the parcels within the Improvement Areas be affected by a hazardous substance, is to reduce the marketability and value by the costs of remedying the condition.
The Community Facilities District is not aware of the presence of any federally or state classified hazardous substances in violation of any environmental laws, located on t he property within the Improvement Areas. However, it is possible that such materials do currently exist and that the Community Facilities District is not aware of them.
It is possible that property in the Improvement Areas may be liable for hazardous sub stances in the future as a result of the existence, currently, of a substance presently classified as hazardous but which has not been released or the release of which is not presently threatened, or the existence, currently, on the property of a substance not presently classified as hazardous but which may in the future be so classified. Additionally, such liabilities may arise not simply from the existence of a hazardous substance but from the method of handling such substance. All of these possibilities could have the effect of reducing the value of the applicable property.
Cybersecurity
The City, like many other public and private entities, rel ies on computer and other digital networks and systems to conduct their operations. The City is potentially subject to multiple cyber threats, including without limitation hacking, viruses, ransomware, malware and other attacks. No assurance can be given that the efforts of the City to manage cyber threats and attacks will be successful in all cases, or that any such attack will not materially impact the operations or finances of the City, or the administration of the Bonds.
The City is also reliant on other entities and service providers in connection with the administration of the Bonds, including without limitation the County tax collector for the levy and collection of Special Taxes and the Trustee. No assurance can be given that the City and these other entities will not be affected by cyber threats and attacks in a manner that may affect the levy and collection of Special Taxes or the payment of debt service on the Bonds.
Parity Taxes and Special Assessments
Property within the Improvement Areas is subject to taxes and other charges levied by several other public agencies. None of the Authority, the Commu nity Facilities District or the City has control over the ability of other entities and districts to issue indebtedness secured by special taxes or assessments payable from all or a portion of the property within the Improvement Areas.
The Special Taxes and any penalties thereon will constitute a lien against the lots and parcels of land on which they will be annually imposed until they are paid. Such lien is on a parity with the lien of all special taxes and special assessments levied by other agencies and is co -equal to and independent of the lien for general ad valorem property taxes regardless of when they are imposed upon the same property. The Special Taxes have priority over all existing and future private liens imposed on the property. See “— Bankruptcy and Foreclosure” below.
47 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040
None of the Authority, the Community Facilities District or the City has control over the ability of other entities and districts to issue indebtedness secured by special taxes, ad valorem taxes or assessments payable from all or a portion of the property within the Improvement Area s. In addition, the landowners within the Improvement Area s may, without the consent or knowledge of the Authority, the Community Facilities District or the City, petition other public agencies t o issue public indebtedness secured by special taxes, ad valorem taxes or assessments. Any such special taxes, ad valorem taxes or assessments may have a lien on such property on a parity with the Special Taxes and could reduce the estimated value -to-lien ratios for property within the Improvement Areas described in this Official Statement.
Payment of the Special Tax is not a Personal Obligation of the Owners An owner of a taxable parcel is not personally obligated to pay the Special Tax. Rather, the Special Tax is an obligation which is secured only by a lien against the taxable parcel. If the proceeds received from the sa le of a taxable parcel following a Special Tax delinquency are not sufficient, taking into account other liens imposed by public agencies, to pay the full amount of the Special Tax delinquency, the Community Facilities District has no recourse against the owner of the parcel.
Disclosures to Future Purchasers
The willingness or ability of an owner of a parcel to pay the Special Tax may be affected by whether or not the owner was given due notice of the Special Tax authorization at the time the owner purchased the parcel, was informed of the amount of the Specia l Tax on the parcel should the Special Tax be levied at the maximum tax rate and the risk of such a levy and, at the time of such a levy, has the ability to pay it as well as pay other expenses and obligations. The City has caused a notice of the Special Tax that may be levied against the taxable parcels in each Improvement Area to be recorded in the Office of the Recorder for the County.
While title companies normally refer to such notices in title reports, there can be no guarantee that such reference w ill be made or, if made, that a prospective purchaser or lender will consider such Special Tax obligation in the purchase of a property within the Improvement Areas or lending of money thereon.
The Mello-Roos Act requires the subdivider (or its agent or re presentative) of a subdivision to notify a prospective purchaser or long -term lessor of any lot, parcel, or unit subject to a Mello -Roos special tax of the existence and maximum amount of such special tax using a statutorily prescribed form. California Ci vil Code Section 1102.6b requires that in the case of transfers other than those covered by the above requirement, the seller must at least make a good faith effort to notify the prospective purchaser of the special tax lien in a format prescribed by statu te. Failure by an owner of the property to comply with the above requirements, or failure by a purchaser or lessor to consider or understand the nature and existence of the Special Tax, could adversely affect the willingness and ability of the purchaser o r lessor to pay the Special Tax when due.
Special Tax Delinquencies
Under provisions of the Mello -Roos Act, the Special Taxes, from which funds necessary for the payment of principal of and interest on the Local Obligations and, thus, the Bonds are derived , are customarily billed to the properties within the Improvement Areas on the ad valorem property tax bills sent by the County to owners of such properties. The Mello -Roos Act currently provides that such Special Tax installments are due and payable, and bear the same penalties and interest for non -payment, as do ad valorem property tax installments.
See the captions “IMPROVEMENT AREA NO. 1 — Delinquency History” and “IMPROVEMENT AREA NO. 2 — Delinquency History” f or the delinquency history of each Improv ement Area over the last five Fiscal Years.
See “SECURITY FOR THE LOCAL OBLIGATIONS — Covenants of the Community Facilities District — Commence Foreclosure Proceedings ,” for a discussion of the provisions which apply, and
48 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040
procedures which the Community Fac ilities District is obligated to follow under the Local Obligation Indentures, in the event of delinquencies in the payment of Special Taxes. See “ — Bankruptcy and Foreclosure” below for a discussion of the policy of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporat ion (the “FDIC”) regarding the payment of special taxes and assessment and limitations on the Community Facilities District’s ability to foreclose on the lien of the Special Taxes in certain circumstances.
The Community Facilities District has the authorit y and the obligation, subject to the Mello-Roos Act and the maximum Special Tax rates set forth in each Rate and Method, to increase the levy of Special Taxes against non-delinquent property owners in the applicable Improvement Area in the event other owners within such Improvement Area are delinquent. Pursuant to each Rate and Method, under no circumstances may the Special Tax levied against any parcel for which an occupancy permit for private residential use has been issued be increased by more than 10% per Fiscal Year as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other parcel or parcels within the Improvement Area. Thus, the Community Facilities District may not be able to increase Special Tax levies in future Fiscal Years by enough to make up for delinquencies for prior Fiscal Years. This would result in draws on the Reserve Fund, and if delinquencies continue and in the aggregate exceed the Reserve Fund balance, defaults would occur in the payment of principal and interest on the Bonds.
Insufficiency of Special Taxes
Notwithstanding that the maximum Special Taxes that may be levied in the Improvement Area s exceeds debt service due on the Local Obligations, the Special Taxes collected could be inadequate to make timely payment of debt s ervice either because of nonpayment or because property becomes exempt from taxation. Each Rate and Method exempts certain specified property from the Special Tax levy. See Appendix D — “RATES AND METHODS OF APPORTIONMENT OF SPECIAL TAXES.” If for any re ason property within an Improvement Area becomes exempt from taxation by reason of ownership by a non-taxable entity such as the federal government, another public agency or other organization determined to be exempt, subject to the limitations of the maxi mum authorized rates, the Special Tax will be reallocated to the remaining taxable properties within such Improvement Area. This could result in certain owners of property paying a greater amount of the Special Tax and could have an adverse impact upon th e ability and willingness of the owners of such property to pay the Special Tax when due.
The Mello-Roos Act provides that, if any property within an Improvement Area not otherwise exempt from the Special Tax is acquired by a public entity through a negoti ated transaction, or by gift or devise, the Special Tax will continue to be levied on and enforceable against the public entity that acquired the property.
In addition, the Mello -Roos Act provides that, if property subject to the Special Tax is acquired b y a public entity through eminent domain proceedings, the obligation to pay the Special Tax with respect to that property is to be treated as if it were a special assessment and be paid from the eminent domain award. The constitutionality and operation of these provisions of the Mello -Roos Act have not been tested in the courts.
Due to problems of collecting taxes from public agencies, if a substantial portion of land within an Improvement Area became owned by public agencies, collection of the Special Ta x might become more difficult and could result in collections of the Special Tax which might not be sufficient to pay principal of and interest on the related Local Obligations when due, or if a substantial portion of land within an Improvement Area became exempt from the Special Tax because of public ownership, or otherwise, the maximum Special Taxes which could be levied upon the remaining taxable property therein might not be sufficient to pay principal of and interest on the related Local Obligations wh en due, and in either case a default could occur with respect to the payment of such principal and interest, and, in turn, a default could occur in the payment of the principal and interest on the Bonds.
Moreover, under no circumstances may the Special Tax levied against any parcel for which an occupancy permit for private residential use has been issued within an Improvement Area be increased by more than 10% per Fiscal Year as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other parcel or
49 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040
parcels within such Improvement Area. Thus, the Community Facilities District may not be able to increase Special Tax levies in an Improvement Area in future Fiscal Years by enough to make up for delinquencies within such Improvement Area for prior Fiscal Ye ars. This may result in draws on the Reserve Fund, and if delinquencies continue and in the aggregate exceed the Reserve Fund balance, defaults would occur in the payment of principal and interest on the Bonds. See “SECURITY FOR THE LOCAL OBLIGATIONS.” FDIC/Federal Government Interests in Properties
General. The ability of the Community Facilities District to foreclose the lien of delinquent unpaid Special Tax installments may be limited with regard to properties in which the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Internal Revenue Service, or other federal agency has or obtains an interest.
The supremacy clause of the United States Constitution reads as follows: “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitut ion or Laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.”
This means that, unless Congress has otherwise provided, if a federal governmental entity owns a parcel that is subject to Special Taxes within the Improvement Areas but does not pay taxes and asse ssments levied on the parcel (including Special Taxes), the applicable state and local governments cannot foreclose on the parcel to collect the delinquent taxes and assessments.
Moreover, unless Congress has otherwise provided, if the federal government h as a mortgage interest in the parcel and the Community Facilities District wishes to foreclose on the parcel as a result of delinquent Special Taxes, the property cannot be sold at a foreclosure sale unless it can be sold for an amount sufficient to pay delinquent taxes and assessments on a parity with the Special Taxes and preserve the federal government’s mortgage interest. In Rust v. Johnson (9th Circuit; 1979) 597 F.2d 174, the United States Court of Appeal, Ninth Circuit held that the Federal National Mortgage Association ( “FNMA”) is a federal instrumentality for purposes of this doctrine, and not a private entity, and that, as a result, an exercise of state power over a mortgage interest held by FNMA constitutes an exercise of state power over propert y of the United States.
The Community Facilities District has not undertaken to determine whether any federal governmental entity currently has, or is likely to acquire, any interest (including a mortgage interest) in any of the parcels subject to the Spec ial Taxes within the Improvement Areas, and therefore expresses no view concerning the likelihood that the risks described above will materialize while the Bonds are outstanding.
FDIC. In the event that any financial institution making any loan which is s ecured by real property within the Improvement Areas is taken over by the FDIC, and prior thereto or thereafter the loan or loans go into default, resulting in ownership of the property by the FDIC, then the ability of the Community Facilities District to collect interest and penalties specified by State law and to foreclose the lien of delinquent unpaid Special Taxes may be limited. The FDIC ’s policy statement regarding the payment of state and local real property taxes (the “Policy Statement”) provides that property owned by the FDIC is subject to state and local real property taxes only if those taxes are assessed according to the property ’s value, and that the FDIC is immune from real property taxes assessed on any basis other than property value. Acco rding to the Policy Statement, the FDIC will pay its property tax obligations when they become due and payable and will pay claims for delinquent property taxes as promptly as is consistent with sound business practice and the orderly administration of the institution’s affairs, unless abandonment of the FDIC ’s interest in the property is appropriate. The FDIC will pay claims for interest on delinquent property taxes owed at the rate provided under state law, to the extent the interest payment obligation i s secured by a valid lien. The FDIC will not pay any amounts in the nature of fines or penalties and will not pay nor recognize liens for such amounts. If any property taxes (including interest) on FDIC -owned property are secured by a valid lien (in effe ct before the
50 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040
property became owned by the FDIC), the FDIC will pay those claims. The Policy Statement further provides that no property of the FDIC is subject to levy, attachment, garnishment, foreclosure or sale without the FDIC’s consent. In addition, the FDIC will not permit a lien or security interest held by the FDIC to be eliminated by foreclosure without the FDIC ’s consent.
The Policy Statement states that the FDIC generally will not pay non -ad valorem taxes, including special assessments, on prop erty in which it has a fee interest unless the amount of tax is fixed at the time that the FDIC acquires its fee interest in the property, nor will it recognize the validity of any lien to the extent it purports to secure the payment of any such amounts. Special taxes imposed under the Mello-Roos Act and a special tax formula which determines the special tax due each year are specifically identified in the Policy Statement as being imposed each year and therefore covered by the FDIC ’s federal immunity. Th e Ninth Circuit has issued a ruling on August 28, 2001 in which it determined that the FDIC, as a federal agency, is exempt from special taxes under the Mello-Roos Act.
The Community Facilities District is unable to predict what effect the application of t he Policy Statement would have in the event of a delinquency in the payment of Special Taxes on a parcel within an Improvement Area in which the FDIC has or obtains an interest, although prohibiting the lien of the Special Taxes to be foreclosed out at a j udicial foreclosure sale could reduce or eliminate the number of persons willing to purchase a parcel at a foreclosure sale. Such an outcome could cause a draw on the Reserve Fund and perhaps, ultimately, if enough property were to become owned by the FDI C, a default in payment on the Bonds.
Bankruptcy and Foreclosure
In the event of a delinquency in the payment of the Special Taxes, the Community Facilities District, under certain circumstances, is required to commence enforcement proceedings as described under the heading “SECURITY FOR THE LOCAL OBLIGATIONS — Covenants of the Community Facilities District.” However, prosecution of such proceedings could be delayed due to crowded local court calendars, dilatory legal tactics, or bankruptcy. It is also po ssible that the Community Facilities District will be unable to realize proceeds in an amount sufficient to pay the applicable delinquency. Moreover, the ability of the Community Facilities District to commence and prosecute enforcement proceedings may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights (such as the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Relief Act of 1940) and by the laws of the State relating to judicial and non -judicial foreclosure. Although bankruptcy proceedings would not cause the liens of the Special Taxes to become extinguished, the amount and priority of any Special Tax liens could be modified if the value of the property falls below the value of the lien. If the value of the property is less than the lien, such excess amount could be treated as an unsecured claim by the bankruptcy court. In addition, bankruptcy of a property owner could result in a delay in the enforcement proceedings because federal bankruptcy laws provide for an automatic stay of foreclos ure and tax sale proceedings. Any such delay could increase the likelihood of delay or default in payment of the principal of and interest on the Local Obligations, and the possibility of delinquent tax installments not being paid in full.
The various le gal opinions delivered in connection with the issuance of the Bonds, including Bond Counsel’s approving legal opinion, are qualified as to the enforceability of the Bonds, the Indenture, the Local Obligations and the Local Obligation Indentures by referenc e to bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium, insolvency and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally or against public corporations such as the Community Facilities District.
Funds Invested in the County Investment Pool
On January 24, 1996, t he United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California held that a State statute providing for a priority of distribution of property held in trust conflicted with, and was preempted by, federal bankruptcy law. In that case, the court ad dressed the priority of the disposition of moneys held in a county investment pool upon bankruptcy of the county. Following payment of the Special Taxes to the Community Facilities District and prior to payment by Zions Bancorporation of debt service on
51 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040
the Local Obligations, such funds may be invested in the name of the City or the Community Facilities District for a period of time in the County investment pool. In the event of a petition of or the adjustment of County debts under Chapter 9 of the Federa l Bankruptcy Code, a court might hold that the Community Facilities District and in turn the Authority and the Bond owners do not have a valid and/or prior lien on the Special Taxes or debt service payments on the Local Obligations where such amounts are d eposited in the County investment pool and may not provide the Bond owners with a priority interest in such amounts. In that circumstance, unless the Bond owners could “trace” the funds that have been deposited in the County investment pool, the Bond owne rs would be unsecured (rather than secured) creditors of the County. There can be no assurance that the Bond owners could successfully so trace the Special Taxes or debt service payments.
No Acceleration Provision
The Bonds do not contain a provision allo wing for the acceleration of the Bonds in the event of a payment default or other default under the terms of the Bonds or the Indenture. Pursuant to the Indenture, an Owner of the Bonds is given the right for the equal benefit and protection of all owners similarly situated to pursue certain remedies described in Appendix B — “SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS — SUMMARY OF AUTHORITY INDENTURE — EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.” Limitations on Remedies
Remedies available to the Owners of the Bonds may be limited by a variety of factors and may be inadequate to assure the timely payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds.
Bond Counsel has limited its opinion as to the enforceability of the Bonds and of the Indenture to the extent that enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium, or other similar laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights, by equitable principles, by the exercise of judicial discretion and by limitations on remedies against public agencies in the State. The lack of availability of certain remedies or the limitation of remedies may entail risks of delay, limitation or modification of the rights of the owners of the Bonds.
Loss of Tax Exemption
As discussed under the caption “LEGAL MATTERS — Tax Matters” herein, interest on the Bonds could become includable in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation retroactive to the date the Bonds were issued, as a result of future acts or omission s of the Authority, the City or the Community Facilities District in violation of covenants in the Indenture or the Local Obligation Indentures, respectively.
Should such an event of taxability occur, the Bonds are not subject to a special redemption and will remain outstanding until maturity or until redeemed under one of the other redemption provisions contained in the Indenture.
Future legislative proposals, if enacted into law, clarification of the Code or court decisions may cause interest on the Bond s to be subject, directly or indirectly, to federal income taxation or to be subject to or exempted from state income taxation, or otherwise prevent Beneficial Owners from realizing the full current benefit of the tax status of such interest. The introduc tion or enactment of legislative proposals, clarification of the Code or court decisions may also affect the market price for, or marketability of, the Bonds. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should consult their own tax advisors regarding any pending or proposed federal or state tax legislation, regulations or litigation, as to which Bond Counsel expresses no opinion.
It is possible that subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds there might be federal, State, or local statutory changes (or judicial or regulatory interpretations of federal, State, or local law) that affect the federal, State, or local tax treatment of the Bonds or the market value of the Bonds. No assurance can be given that
52 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040
subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds such changes or interpre tations will not occur. See “LEGAL MATTERS — Tax Matters” below.
No Rating – Limited Secondary Market
The Authority has not applied to have the Bonds rated by any nationally recognized bond rating company, and it does not expect to do so in the future.
There can be no guarantee that there will be a secondary market for the Bonds or, if a secondary market exists, that such Bonds can be sold for any particular price. Although the Authority has committed to provide certain statutorily required financial an d operating information, there can be no assurance that such information will be available to Bondowners on a timely basis. See “INTRODUCTION — Continuing Disclosure” and Appendix F — “FORM OF CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT.” Any failure to provide annual financial information, if required, does not give rise to monetary damages but merely an action for specific performance. Occasionally, because of general market conditions, lack of current information, the absence of a credit rating for the Bonds or because of adverse history or economic prospects connected with a particular issue, secondary marketing practices in connection with a particular issue are suspended or terminated. Additionally, prices of issues for which a market is being made will depend upon then prevailing circumstances. Such prices could be substantially different from the original purchase price.
Proposition 218
An initiative measure commonly referred to as the “Right to Vote on Taxes Act” (the “Initiative”) was approved by the voter s of the State of California at the November 5, 1996 general election. The Initiative added Article XIIIC and Article XIIID to the California Constitution. According to the “Title and Summary” of the Initiative prepared by the California Attorney General , the Initiative limits “the authority of local governments to impose taxes and property -related assessments, fees and charges.” The provisions of the Initiative continue to be interpreted by the courts. The Initiative could potentially impact the Specia l Taxes available to the Community Facilities District to pay the principal of and interest on the Local Obligations as described below.
Among other things, Section 3 of Article XIII states that “. . . the initiative power shall not be prohibited or otherw ise limited in matters of reducing or repealing any local tax, assessment, fee or charge.” The Mello-Roos Act provides for a procedure which includes notice, hearing, protest and voting requirements to alter the rate and method of apportionment of an exis ting special tax. However, the Mello -Roos Act prohibits a legislative body from adopting any resolution to reduce the rate of any special tax or terminate the levy of any special tax pledged to repay any debt incurred pursuant to the Mello -Roos Act unless such legislative body determines that the reduction or termination of the special tax would not interfere with the timely retirement of that debt. On August 1, 1997, a bill was signed into law by the Governor of the State enacting Government Code Section 5854, which states that:
Section 3 of Article XIIIC of the California Constitution, as adopted at the November 5, 1996, general election, shall not be construed to mean that any owner or beneficial owner of a municipal security, purchased before or after that date, assumes the risk of, or in any way consents to, any action by initiative measure that constitutes an impairment of contractual rights protected by Section 10 of Article I of the United States Constitution.
Accordingly, although the matter is not free from doubt, it is likely that the Initiative has not conferred on the voters the power to repeal or reduce the Special Taxes if such reduction would interfere with the timely retirement of the Local Obligations.
The interpretation and application of the Initiative will continue to be determined by the courts with respect to a number of the matters discussed above, and it is not possible at this time to predict with certainty
53 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040
the outcome of such determination or the timeliness of any remedy afforded by the courts. See “SPECIAL RISK FACTORS — Limitations on Remedies.”
Ballot Initiatives
Articles XIII A, XIII B, XIII C and XIII D, all of which placed certain limitations on the power of local agencies to tax, collect and expend revenues, were adopted purs uant to measures qualified for the ballot pursuant to California’s constitutional initiative process and the State Legislature has in the past enacted legislation which has altered the spending limitations or established minimum funding provisions for part icular activities. From time to time, other initiative measures could be adopted by California voters or legislation enacted by the legislature. The adoption of any such initiative or legislation might place limitations on the ability of the State, the C ity, or the Community Facilities District to increase revenues or to increase appropriations or on the ability of the landowners within the Improvement Areas to complete proposed future development.
Litigation with Respect to Community Facilities District Shapiro. The California Court of Appeal, Fourth Appellate District, Division One, issued its opinion in City of San Diego v. Melvin Shapiro (2014) 228 Cal.App.4th 756 (the “San Diego Decision”). The case involved a Convention Center Facilities District ( the “CCFD”) established by the City of San Diego ( “San Diego”). The CCFD is a financing district much like a community facilities district established under the provisions of the Mello-Roos Act. The CCFD is comprised of all of the real property in San Die go. However, the special tax to be levied within the CCFD was to be levied only on hotel properties located within the CCFD.
The election authorizing the special tax was limited to owners of hotel properties and lessees of real property owned by a governm ental entity on which a hotel is located. Thus, the election was not a registered voter election. Such approach to determining who would constitute the qualified electors of the CCFD was modeled after Section 53326(c) of the Mello-Roos Act, which generally provides that, if a special tax will not be apportioned in any tax year on residential property, the legislative body may provide that the vote shall be by the landowners of the proposed district whose property would be subject to the special tax. The Cou rt held that the CCFD special tax election was invalid under the California Constitution because Article XIIIA, Section 4 thereof and Article XIIIC, Section 2 thereof require that the electors in such an election be the registered voters within the distric t.
Horizon. The Sacramento County Superior Court had issued a tentative ruling in Horizon Capital Investments, LLC v. City of Sacramento et al. (Case No. 34-2017-80002661). That ruling subsequently became the court ’s final order. As described below, this case involved an election to approve the levy of a special tax within a community facilities district (“CFD”) formed under the Mello-Roos Act.
In 2017, the City of Sacramento initiated proceedings to form a CFD to finance certain costs to operate and maintain a streetcar line. As permitted by the Mello-Roos Act, the proposed district included non - contiguous parcels of non -residential property. Because there were fewer than 12 registered voters residing within th e territory of the proposed CFD, the City Council submitted the special tax proposed to be levied within the proposed CFD to the owners of land within the proposed CFD, as required by the Mello-Roos Act.
The proposed special tax received the requisite two -thirds vote in the landowner election.
Petitioners Horizon Capital Investments, LLC et al. filed a writ of mandate and complaint for reverse validation and declaratory relief. Petitioners argued, and the superior court agreed in its final ruling, that under section 4(a) of article XIII A of th e California Constitution (which provides that “Cities, Counties and special districts, by a two -thirds vote of the qualified electors of such district [sic], may impose special taxes on such district…”) the phrase “qualified electors” means the registered voters of the entire City of Sacramento and not just the owners of the property within the boundaries of the proposed CFD. Citing the San Diego Decision, the
54 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040
tentative ruling states that the phrase “qualified electors of the district ” refers to the regis tered voters of the entity imposing the special tax, which in this case was the City of Sacramento . Because the vote within the proposed CFD was by landowners only and not by all registered voters in the City of Sacramento , the final ruling states that the special tax is invalid.
The superior court’s final ruling is not binding upon other courts within the State and does not directly apply to the Improvement Areas, the Special Taxes, or the Local Obligations. The City of Sacramento did not appeal the superior court’s ruling.
The Special Tax Election in the Improvement Areas. With respect to the San Diego Decision, the facts of such case show that there were thousands of registered voters within the CCFD ( viz., all of the registered voters in San Diego). The elections held in the Improvement Area s had less than 12 registered voters at the time of the election to authorize the Special Taxes. In the San Diego Decision, the court expressl y stated that it was not addressing the validity of landowner voting to impose special taxes pursuant to the Mello- Roos Act in situations where there are fewer than 12 registered voters. Thus, by its terms, the court ’s holding in the San Diego Decision doe s not apply to the Special Tax election s in the Improvement Areas. Moreover, Section 53341 of the Mello-Roos Act provides that any “action or proceeding to attack, review, set aside, void or annul the levy of a special tax…shall be commenced within 30 day s after the special tax is approved by the voters.” Similarly, Section 53359 of the Mello-Roos Act provides that any action to determine the validity of bonds issued pursuant to the Mello-Roos Act be brought within 30 days of the voters approving the issuance of such bonds. The petitioners in Horizon filed the writ of mandate within 30 days of the landowner election.
Voters in each Improvement Area s approved their respective Special Tax one June 20, 2023 . Based on Sections 53341 and 53359 of the Mello-Roos Act and analysis of existing laws, regulations, rulings and court decisions, the Community Facilities District believes that no successful challenge to the their respective Special Taxes being levied in accordance with the applicable Rate and Method may now be brought.
LEGAL MATTERS
Tax Matters
In the opinion of Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth LLP , Newport Beach, California, Bond Counsel, under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions, and assuming the accuracy of certain representations and compliance with certain covenants and requirements described herein, interest (and original issue discount) on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of calcul ating the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals. However, it should be noted that, with respect to applicable corporations as defined in Section 59(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), generally certain corpor ations with more than $1,000,000,000 of average annual adjusted financial statement income, interest (and original issue discount) with respect to the Bonds might be taken into account in determining adjusted financial statement income for purposes of comp uting the alternative minimum tax imposed by Section 55 of the Code on such corporations. In the further opinion of Bond Counsel, interest (and original issue discount) on the Bonds is exempt from State of California personal income tax.
The excess of the stated redemption price at maturity of a Bond over the issue price of a Bond (the first price at which a substantial amount of the Bonds of a maturity is to be sold to the public) constitutes original issue discount. Original issue discount accrues under a constant yield method, and original issue discount will accrue to a Beneficial Owner before receipt of cash attributable to such excludable income. The amount of original issue discount deemed received by the Beneficial Owner will increase the Beneficial Owner’s basis in the applicable Bond.
Bond Counsel’s opinion as to the exclusion from gross income for federal i ncome tax purposes of interest (and original issue discount) on the Bonds is based upon certain representations of fact and certifications made by the Authority, the Community Facilities District and others and is subject to the
55 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040
condition that the Authority and the Community Facilities District comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), that must b e satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds to assure that interest (and original issue discount) on the Bonds will not become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. Failure to comply with such requirements of the Code might c ause the interest (and original issue discount) on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds. The Authority and the Community Facilities District will covenant to comply with all such requirements.
The amount by which a Beneficial Owner’s original basis for determining loss on sale or exchange in the applicable Bond (generally, the purchase price) exceeds the amount payable on maturity (or on an earlier call date) constitutes a mortizable bond premium, which must be amortized under Section 171 of the Code; such amortizable bond premium reduces the Beneficial Owner’s basis in the applicable Bond (and the amount of tax-exempt interest received), and is not deductible for federal income tax purposes. The basis reduction as a result of the amortization of bond premium may result in a Beneficial Owner realizing a taxable gain when a Bond is sold by the Beneficial Owner for an amount equal to or less (under certain circumstances) than the original cost of the Bond to the Beneficial Owner. Purchasers of the Bonds should consult their own tax advisors as to the treatment, computation and collateral consequences of amortizable bond premium.
Bond Counsel’s opinions may be affected by actio ns taken (or not taken) or events occurring (or not occurring) after the date hereof. Bond Counsel has not undertaken to determine, or to inform any person, whether any such actions or events are taken or do occur. The Indenture, the Local Obligations In dentures and the Tax Certificate relating to the Bonds permit certain actions to be taken or to be omitted if a favorable opinion of a bond counsel is provided with respect thereto. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion as to the effect on the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on any Bond if any such action is taken or omitted based upon the advice of counsel other than Bond Counsel.
Although Bond Counsel will render an opinion that interest (and original issue discount) on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes provided that the Authority and the Community Facilities District continue to comply with certain requirements of the Code, the ownership of the Bonds and the accrual or receipt of i nterest (and original issue discount) with respect to the Bonds may otherwise affect the tax liability of certain persons. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any such tax consequences.
Accordingly, before purchasing any of the Bonds, all potenti al purchasers should consult their tax advisors with respect to collateral tax consequences relating to the Bonds.
The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has initiated an expanded program for the auditing of tax - exempt bond issues, including both random and targeted audits. It is possible that the Bonds will be selected for audit by the IRS. It is also possible that the market value of the Bonds might be affected as a result of such an audit of the Bonds (or by an audit of similar bonds). No assurance can be given that in the course of an audit, as a result of an audit, or otherwise, Congress or the IRS might not change the Code (or interpretation thereof) subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds to the extent that it adversely affects the exclusion from gross income of interest (and original issue discount) on the Bonds or their market value.
SUBSEQUENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE BONDS THERE MIGHT BE FEDERAL, STATE,
OR LOCAL STATUTORY CHANGES (OR JUDICIAL OR REGULATORY CHANGES TO OR
INTERPRETATIONS OF FEDERA L, STATE, OR LOCAL LAW) THAT AFFECT THE FEDERAL,
STATE, OR LOCAL TAX TREATMENT OF THE BONDS INCLUDING THE IMPOSITION OF
ADDITIONAL FEDERAL INCOME OR STATE TAXES BEING IMPOSED ON OWNERS OF TAX - EXEMPT STATE OR LOCAL OBLIGATIONS, SUCH AS THE BONDS. THESE CHA NGES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET VALUE OR LIQUIDITY OF THE BONDS. NO ASSURANCE
CAN BE GIVEN THAT SUBSEQUENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE BONDS STATUTORY CHANGES
WILL NOT BE INTRODUCED OR ENACTED OR JUDICIAL OR REGULATORY INTERPRETATIONS WILL NOT OCCUR HAV ING THE EFFECTS DESCRIBED ABOVE. BEFORE PURCHASING ANY OF
THE BONDS, ALL POTENTIAL PURCHASERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS
56 4915-7262-1161v5/022599-0040
REGARDING POSSIBLE STATUTORY CHANGES OR JUDICIAL OR REGULATORY CHANGES OR
INTERPRETATIONS, AND THEIR COLLATERAL TAX CONSEQUENCE S RELATING TO THE BONDS.
See Appendix E — “FORM OF BOND COUNSEL OPINION” for a form of the opinion to be provided by Bond Counsel on the date of issuance of the Bonds.
Absence of Litigation
The Authority will certify at the time the Bonds are issued that n o litigation is pending or threatened concerning the validity of the Bonds or the Local Obligations and that no action, suit or proceeding is known by the Authority to be pending that would restrain or enjoin the delivery of the Bonds or the Local Obligations, or contest or affect the validity of the Bonds or the Local Obligations or any proceedings of the Authority taken with respect to the Bonds or the Local Obligations. The Community Facilities District will also certify, at the time the Bonds are issue d, that no litigation is pending or threatened concerning the validity the Local Obligations and that no action, suit or proceeding is known by the Community Facilities District to be pending that would restrain or enjoin the delivery of the Local Obligations, or contest or affect the validity of the Local Obligations or any proceedings of the Community Facilities District taken with respect to the Local Obligations.
Legal Opinion
Certain proceedings in connection with the issuance of the Bonds are subject to the approval as to their legality of Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth LLP, Newport Beach, California, Bond Counsel for the Authority in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. The opinion of Bond Counsel approving the validity of the Bonds substantia lly in the form attached as Appendix E hereto will be attached to each Bond. Bond Counsel’s employment is limited to a review of legal procedures required for the approval of the Bonds and to rendering an opinion as to the validity of the Bonds and the ex emption of interest (and original issue discount) on the Bonds from income taxation. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion to the Owners of the Bonds as to the accuracy, completeness or fairness of this Official Statement or other offering materials relating to the Bonds and expressly disclaims any duty to do so.
Payment of the fees of Bond Counsel, Disclosure Counsel, the Underwriter and Underwriter’s Counsel is contingent upon issuance of the Bonds.
MISCELLANEOUS
No Rating
The Authority has not made, and does not contemplate making, an application to any rating organization for the assignment of a rating on the Bonds.
