INTRODUCTION
The description and summaries of various documents hereinafter set forth do not purport to be comprehensive or definitive, and reference is made to each document for the complete details of all terms and conditions. All statements herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to each document. All capitalized terms used in this Official Statement and not otherwise defined herein have the same meaning as in the Trust Agreement (defined below) or the Local Obligations Indenture (defined below), as applicable.
General
This Official Statement, including the cover page, the inside cover page and the Appendices hereto, is provided to furnish certain information in connection with the issuance and sale by the Folsom Ranch Financing Authority (the "Authority") of $10,705,000* aggregate principal amount of Folsom Ranch Financing Authority City of Folsom Community Facilities District No. 23 (Folsom Ranch) Improvement Area No. 4 Special Tax Revenue Bonds, Series 2024 (the "Bonds").
Authority for Issuance
The Bonds will be issued pursuant to the provisions of the Trust Agreement (the "Trust Agreement") among the Authority, the City of Folsom Community Facilities Dishict No. 23 (Folsom Ranch) (the "District"), and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), as authorized pursuant to a resolution of the Authority. The Bonds will be issued pursuant to the Marks-Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985, as amended, constituting Article 4 of Chapter 5, Division 7, Title I of the Government Code of the State of California. The Bonds will be issued as fully registered bonds in book-entry form, in denominations of $5,000 each or any integral multiple thereof and will be dated the date of delivery thereof and bear interest at the rates set forth on the inside front cover page hereof. See "THE BoNDs-Description of the Bonds."
Purpose
The Bonds are being issued to finance the purchase of the limited obligation special tax bonds (the "Local Obligations"), issued by the District pursuant to an Indenture (the "Local Obligations Indenture") between the District and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the "Local Obligations Trustee"). The purchase price of the Local Obligations will be used to finance the acquisition of certain public facilities, fund a debt service reserye account, and pay certain costs of issuance of the Local Obligations and Bonds. See "PLAN OF FINANCE" and "THE IMPROVEMENT AREA."
* Preliminary, subject to change.
11/12/2024 Item No.1.
The Local Obligations are authorized pursuant to (i) the provisions of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, as amended, constituting Section 53311, et seq. of the California Government Code (the "Mello-Roos Act"), (ii) a resolution of the City Council of the City of Folsom (the "City") as legislative body of the District adopted on November 12,2024, and (iii) the Local Obligations Indenture. The Local Obligations are payable from the special taxes authorized to be levied and collected annually upon taxable real property within Improvement Area No. 4 of the District (the "Improvement Area"). See "SECUzuTY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS-General." Security for the Bonds and the Local Obligations
The Bonds are special, limited obligations of the Authority, payable from and secured by the Trust Estate (as defined herein) pledged under the Trust Agreement, consisting primarily of payments received from the District as debt service payments on the Local Obligations.
The Local Obligations will be issued with an annual scheduled debt service that results in at least 1100% annual debt service coverage for the Local Obligations from Effective Tax Rate Evaluation Maximum Facilities Special Tax revenues for Developed Property and Small Lot Final Map Property as of August 31,2024, net of Priority Administrative Expenses (each as defined below), beginning with the levy for Fiscal Year 2025-26. The debt service on the Local Obligations is expected to increase approximately 2% annually through 2044 and then be level through the final maturity. [The Local Obligations are sized so that, beginning with Fiscal Year 2025-26, the Special Tax is expected to only need to be levied on Developed Property to provide sufficient funds to pay the debt service on the Local Obligations. However, if needed, the Special Tax may be levied on other, less-developed categories of property pursuant to the Rate and Method (as defined herein) and, as the Improvement Area continues to develop, the expected Special Tax levy on Developed Property will be allocated across a greater number of parcels.l Although the scheduled payments under the Local Obligations are sufficient, in the aggregate, to provide the Authority with moneys to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds when due (see "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS"), investment in the Bonds involves a substantial degree of risk that may not be appropriate for some investors. See "CERTAIN RISKS TO BONDHOLDERS" below.
The Local Obligations are secured by a pledge of special taxes (including both the Facilities Special Tax and the Services Special Tax for the Improvement Area, each as defined herein) received by the District (the "special Tax" or the "Special Taxes," as the context requires) (including any prepayment thereof and proceeds from foreclosure sales pursuant to the Local Obligations Indenture), net of Priority Administrative Expenses, and the Local Obligations Reserve Account established for the Local Obligations under the Local Obligations Indenture. See "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS." The Special Taxes are included on the regular property tax bill sent to the record owners of taxable properties within the Improvement Area. The District has covenanted in the Local Obligations Indenture to commence judicial foreclosure proceedings against property with delinquent Special Taxes and to diligently pursue such proceedings to cornpletion; provided, however, that the District is not obligated under the Local Obligations Indenture to commence such judicial foreclosure proceedings on any delinquent installment of the Special Tax for any Fiscal Year in which the District has received one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of such installment from the County of Sacramento (the "County") pursuant to the Teeter Plan (described below). See "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS-Payment of the Local Obligations," "-Special Tax Authorization," "-Covenant for Foreclosure" and c'-fhs Teeter Plan."
The Special Taxes secure only the Local Obligations. For this reason, a delinquency or default in the payment of Special Taxes could cause a default in the payments of principal and interest on the Bonds 2 Page 159
11/12/2024 Item No.1.
if moneys in the Local Obligations Reserve Account are insufficient to make up the deficit in debt service for the Local Obligations caused by such delinquency or nonpayment.
NEITHER THE FULL FAITH AND CREDIT NOR THE TAXING POWER OF THE CITY, THE DISTRICT, THE AUTHORITY, THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA (THE "STATE") OR ANY
OTHER POLITICAL SUBDIVISION TFIEREOF IS PLEDGED TO THE PAYMENT OF TFM BONDS. TFM, AUTHORITY HAS NO TAXING POWER. EXCEPT FOR THE TRUST ESTATE, NO OTHER REVENUES OR TAXES ARE PLEDGED TO THE PAYMENT OF THE BONDS. THE BONDS ARE NOT GENERAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE AUTHORITY, THE DISTzuCT OR THE
CITY, BUT ARE LIMITED OBLIGATIONS OF THE AUTHORITY PAYABLE SOLELY FROM THE
TRUST ESTATE, DERIVED PRIMARILY FROM DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS ON THE LOCAL
OBLIGATIONS FROM THE PAYMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAXES LEVIED WITHIN TFIE IMPROVEMENT AREA AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED HEREIN.
The Improvement Area
Genera| The Improvement Area is located in the southern portion of the City, west of East Bidwell Street, north of Mangini Parkway and south of U.S. Highway 50 and consists of over 150 total gross acres (excluding non-parcel areas, such as roadways), of which approximately 95 acres are subject to the Special Tax. Presently, the Improvement Area includes properties in varying stages of development, including unimproved lots, finished lots, homes under construction, and completed homes.
Collectively, these properties are planned to include 648 single family homes.
Formation Proceedings. The District was formed by the City pursuant to the Mello-Roos Act.
The Mello-Roos Act was enacted by the 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, development-related fees, and services. 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 to repay such indebtedness.
Pursuant to the Mello-Roos Act, the City Council undertook proceedings to form the District, initially designating six separate improvement areas therein, including the Improvement Area, and called an election to authorize the incurring of bonded indebtedness and authorize the levy of special taxes within the Dishict. On May 26,2020, elections were held within the District for each improvement area therein at which the eligible voters in each improvement area approved the levy of special taxes in accordance with the respective Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax for such improvement area (the "Rate and Method" for the Improvement Area). In addition, the eligible voters in the Improvement Area authorized the issuance of bonds in an amount not to exceed $64,000,000 for the Improvement Area. In December 2021, a seventh improvement area was designated within the District.
Pursuant to the Rate and Method, an Effective Tax Rate Evaluation was conducted in eatly 2023 to determine the Total Effective Tax Rate for Residential Property within the Improvement Area (each as defined in the Rate and Method). In connection with that Effective Tax Rate Evaluation, the Rate and Method was updated to include the Effective Tax Rate Evaluation Maximum Facilities Special Tax Rates and the Effective Tax Rate Evaluation Minimum Facilities Revenue amounts for all Taxable Properly for Fiscal Year 2022-23. The Rate and Method is included as APPENDIX A hereto and summarized herein under "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS - Special Tax Analysis." a

11/12/2024 Item No.1.
Property Ownership and Development Status
The property within the Improvement Area is under development, with homes completed and sold to individual homeowners, homes under construction and being marketed to individual homeowners, finished lots, and unimproved land. As of November l, 2024, the Taxable Property within the Improvement Area was owned by Taylor Morison of California, LLC, a California limited liability company ("Taylor Morrison"); Folsom Real Estate South, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Folsom Real Estate South"); and individual homeowners. As of that date, Taylor Morrison owned 114 single family lots, Folsom Real Estate South owned four large lot parcels that it expects will ultimately be developed by a separate developer to include 388 single family homes, and individuals owned 146 single family homes. See "PROPOSED PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT-Property Ownership." At full buildout, the Improvement Area is expected to include a total of 648 detached single-family homes.
To date, a final map has been approved and recorded for the 260 single family lots that are owned by Taylor Morrison and the individual homeowners. This portion of the Improvement Area contains the lots that have been, and are currently being, developed by Taylor Morrison for home sales to individual homebuyers. Taylor Morrison's lots in the Improvement Area are being developed and sold across three separate product lines: Debut at Folsom Ranch, Encore at Folsom Ranch, and Legends at Folsom Ranch.
Construction and sale of these 260 single family homes is well underway, with 146 having sold and closed to individual homebuyers as of November 1,2024. As of that same date, Taylor Morrison had pulled 217 building permits and expects to complete construction of its final home within the Improvement Area by the first quarter of 2026.
Other than the 260lots owned by Taylor Morrison and the individual homeowners, Folsom Real Estate South owns the remainder of the Taxable Property (as defined herein) within the Improvement Area (the "Four Large Lots"). Currently, the Four Large Lots are unimproved land. There are several remaining discretionary and non-discretionary approvals required before the Four Large Lots can be fully developed, including the approval of tentative and final small lot maps and satisfaction of City requirements relating to inclusionary housing and habitat mitigation. See "PROPOSED PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT-FoIsom Real Estate South Development-Development Status - Folsom Real Estate South." Additionally, a deviation in the development of the Four Large Lots from the current development entitlements may require additional governmental approvals and could delay the expected development timing.
Folsom Real Estate South is in the process of selling the Four Large Lots and has entered into letters of intent with multiple nationally recognized homebuilders to negotiate the sale of the Four Large Lots and other properties within the Folsom Plan Area (but outside of the Improvement Area). Folsom Real Estate South is actively negotiating a purchase and sale agreement with one of these homebuilders for the Four Large Lots, which it expects to ultimately be developed to include 388 single family homes.
Folsom Real Estate South expects that the sale of these lots to the builder would close upon the satisfaction of various conditions, including the buyer's prior payment of one or more non-refundable deposits and City approval of a small lot tentative map. Folsom Real Estate South is in the process of preparing the small lot tentative map for the Four Large Lots, which it anticipates being approved by the City during the second quarter of 2025. The anticipated purchase and sale agreement would obligate the builder to complete the infrastructure improvements and site development required for the construction of the homes on the Four Large Lots, which includes mass grading work, utilities and roadway improvements, and subdivision improvements. Folsom Real Estate South anticipates construction of the required infrastructure relating to the Four Large Lots to commence during the third quarter of 2025 and continue throtgh2026.

11/12/2024 Item No.1.
As of August 31,2024 (the date of value of the Appraisal), the Improvement Area included 139 completed homes that had closed escrow to individual homeowners, 53 homes under construction, 68 finished lots without vertical home construction, and the unimproved Four Large Lots (which are expected to ultimately be developed into 388 single family homes). Since that date, development within the Improvement Area has continued. As of November 1, 2024, the Improvement Area included 146 completed homes that had closed escrow to individual homeowners, 4 completed model homes, an additional 10 completed homes that had not yet closed escrow to individual homeowners, 47 homes under construction, 53 finished lots without vertical home construction, and the unimproved Four Large Lots.
As of November 7, 2024, Taylor Morrison was under contract for the sale of 8 homes (3 in Encore at Folsom Ranch and 5 in Legends at Folsom Ranch) to individual homeowners. Homes under contract may not result in closed escrows as sales contracts are subject to cancellation.
The following table summarizes, as of November 1, 2024,the ownership and development status of the residential lots and homes proposed to be constructed within the Improvement Area.

FOLSOM PLAN AREA
General Folsom Plan Area Plan of Finance
In 2001 , the City commenced plans to expand its sphere of influence area to include an area south of US Route 50. The area, known as the Folsom Plan Area is bordered to the west by Prairie City Road, the east by the Sacramento/El Dorado County boundary line, the north by US Route 50, and the south by White Rock Road. In November 2004, the citizens of the City adopted Measure W ("Measure W"), which specified certain requirements for annexing the Folsom Plan Area into the City. In June 2011, the City adopted its Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan (the "Specific Plan"). The Local Agency Formation Commission approved the City's plan to annex the Folsom Plan Area on January 18,2012.
As described below, the Folsom Plan Area is an area of approximately 3,500 acres in the southern portion of the City that has been approved for development of approximately 77,461 units of residential development , plus 27 4.5 acres of commercial/industrial development (including mixed use development).
Over ihe build out of the property, the City has used and anticipates continuing to use community facilities districts under the Mello-Roos Act to finance a large portion of the public infrastructure required for the development, plus certain maintenance obligations of public improvements and facilities.
Two community facilities districts formed by the City to finance public infrastructure, maintenance and services benefiting the Folsom Plan Area include Community Facilities District No. 17 (Willow Hill Pipeline) ("CFD 17") and Community Facilities District No. 18 (Folsom Plan Area - Area-Wide Improvements and Services) ("CFD 18"). CFD 17 encompasses nearly all of the property within the Folsom Plan Area, excluding approximately 190 acres bordering El Dorado County in the eastern portion of the City south of US Route50. CFD 18 encompasses all of the property within the Folsom Plan Area, overlapping all of CFD 17 and the additional 190 acres bordering El Dorado County.
The City has issued bonds for CFD 17 in the principal amount of $6,675,000, of which $5,415,000 are currently outstanding. CFD 18 is authorized to issue up to $200,000,000 in bonds. In Octobet 2024, CFD 18 issued bonds in the aggregate principal amount of 826,735,000 to help finance the Phase 2 Water Transmission Facilities (as defined herein). See "PROPOSED PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT- Development Entitlements-Water Supply Infrastructure." The Improvement Area represents approximately 4.9% by acres of CFD 17 and approximately 4.6% by acres of CFD 18, however any overlapping debt issued by CFD 17 or CFD 18 will not be allocated to the properties in the Improvement Area based on their acreage, and the amount of overlapping debt allocated may vary over time. Based on the development status within CFD 18 as of August31,2024, the Improvement Area would generate approximately 5.6% of the maximum CFD 18 special tax levy for bonds. This share of the maximum ifp tt special tax levy for bonds is expected to decrease over time as undeveloped properties within CFD 18 b""o*" approved with final maps or developed. The allocable portion of bonds previously issued for CFD 77 and any bonds to be issued for CFD 18 constitute overlapping debt. See "TFIE IMPROVEMENT AREA-Overlapping Debt."

Public Facilities Financing Plan
Measure W, adopted by City residents in November 2004, required, among other things, that residents north of US Route 50 not bear the cost for infrastructure and public facilities serving the Folsom Plan Area. The City adopted a Public Facilities Financing Plan ("PFFP") for the Folsom Plan Area on January 14,2074. The PFFP provides an overview of how the infrastructure required for the development of the Folsom Plan Area will be financed and constructed and how various public facilities will be financed and maintained to ensure that public facilities and infrastructure will be available for the orderly development of the Folsom Plan Area without cost to the residents of the City north of US Route 50 and without an adverse impact on the service levels provided to future residents of the Folsom Plan Area.
The PFFP contemplates that the primary sources of funding for the construction of the public infrastructure and facilities in the Folsom Plan Area are community facilities districts, development impact fees collected upon permit issuance (including development impact fees of the Folsom Cordova Unified School District), direct developer financing, and matching state school grants and other school funding (including the school facilities improvement district described under "THE IMPROVEMENT AREA-Overlapping Debt"). Subdivision improvements are not included as part of the PFFP.
On September 8, 2015, the City implemented its Specific Plan Infrastructure Fees (the "SPIF") to be collected for the Specific Plan. The SPIF has been updated from time to time and new nexus studies performed periodically to evaluate the costs of improvements and the appropriate fee rates.
As of the date of the Nexus Study Fiscal Year 2020-21 Update, the estimated remaining cost of the backbone infrastructure and public facilities for the Folsom Plan Area at build-out was $403,482,461.
This estimate is subject to a variety of construction and market risks. The City and the District can provide no assurances that the overall costs will not increase, even significantly, in the future. The City has used, and intends to continue to use, multiple funding sources for the Folsom Plan Area infrastructure as development progresses and has continued to progress, including SPIF and the issuance ofbonds for the District and other community facilities districts within the Folsom Plan Area.
The SPIF is administered by the City for the purposes of collecting impact fees for plan area wide improvements for the construction of roadways, water, sewer, drainage, dry utilities, recycled water and habitat mitigation in the Folsom Plan Area. The purpose of the SPIF is to require each landowner to pay its fair share of Folsom Plan Area area-wide improvements and to be reimbursed for any amount expended in excess of a landowner's fair share requirement. Under the terms of an Ordinance for the SPIF adopted by the City (the "SPIF Ordinance"), property owners in the Folsom Plan Area will be eligible to enter into an agreement with the City and receive future reimbursements (that are convertible to fee credits for use within the owner's property) in exchange for the construction of eligible SPIF improvements. Based on the amount of improvements eligible for SPIF reimbursement, a number of properties within the District are anticipated to fully cover their SPIF obligations through the conversion of these SPIF reimbursements to SPIF fee credits. After applying the SPIF reimbursements as SPIF fee credits to all properties in the District, amounts expended by landowners in excess of a project's SPIF obligation are expected to be reimbursed from the City as other SPIF fees are collected in the Folsom Plan Area.
Within the Folsom Plan Area, initial development will be required to pay a "SPIF Set-Aside" component to address initial water and sewer facility costs. This is a loan of SPIF collections to help the cash flow for the initial water and sewer costs. It will be repaid or equalized to all properties through the SPIF program as well as through the District. The SPIF Set-Aside will apply to the first 2,500 Folsom Plan Area dwelling units that would be subject to the SPIF. A portion of the SPIF will be required to be paid regardless of whether a developer/property owner has advance-funded eligible SPIF infrastructure 8 Page 165
11/12/2024 Item No.1.
and has executed a Fee Reimbursement Agreement through the City. An exception to this rule is that a property owner who constructs certain water or sewer infrastructure for which the SPIF Set-Aside is being collected may take a credit against the SPIF Set-Aside.
In addition, in August 2020, the City approved an ordinance amending certain provisions of the SPIF Ordinance to include a new SPIF - Offsite Water Set-Aside. This new SPIF - "Offbite Water Set- Aside" will be payable at the building permit stage and will not be eligible to be offset by fee credits.
In connection with the Specific Plan amendments adopted in August 2024, the City will conduct an update to the Public Facilities Financing Plan.
Phasing of Development. For purposes of setting the PFFP costs, the City projected single family units would be sold and occupied within 13 years, multi-family low density units within 15 years, and multi-family medium and high density units within 18 years.
Backbone Infrastructure. The PFFP provides for the financing or collection of impact fees for and the construction ofthe backbone infrastructure required before construction in the Folsom Plan Area can proceed. Specifically, the PFFP recognizes the need for roadway improvements, on-site water system improvements, off-site water system improvements, recycled water system improvements, sanitary sewer system improvements, storm drainage system improvements, habitat mitigation, and construction of two freeway interchanges and improvements to an existing freeway interchange.
Public Facilities - the Folsom Plan Area. The PFFP describes plans for the financing of public schools, parks, transit services, trails, police and fire facilities and equipment, municipal service center' a corporation yard, solid waste facilities, a library, general capital improvements, transportation, and a community and aquatic center. The PFFP anticipates that the land for the public facilities will be dedicated to the City without cost to the City.
The Folsom Plan Area is currently being served by the existing fire resources of the City as well as other County, El Dorado County and Placer County fire agencies through mutual aid agreements with the City. As noted in the PFFP, the City's goal is to maintain a level of service that represents a rate of 1 station per 12,000 population. The City's first fire station within the Folsom Plan Area opened on September 26,2024.
Development within the Folsom Plan Area, including within the Improvement Area, is dependent upon completion of certain of the above-described infrastructure. For more information on status of construction of improvements and development necessary for development to occur within the Improvement Area, see "PROPOSED PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT." See also "THE IMPROVEMENT AREA-Overlapping Debt."
Folsom Plan Area Development
The Folsom Plan Area is an area of approxim ately 3,520 acres in the southern portion of the City that has been approved for development of approximately 73,343 units of residential development, plus 274.5 acres (equating to 2.5 million square feet) of commercial/industrial development (including mixed use development). Through multiple acquisitions beginning in 2012, affiliates of Westland Capital Partners, L.P. ("Westland") acquired nearly 2,400 acres within the Folsom Plan Area, including propefty planned for development of approximately 8,350 dwelling units, 1.2 million square feet of commercial, office and industrial space, as well as several sites for elementary, middle, and high schools. 9 Page 166
11/12/2024 Item No.1.
Since development began in May 2017, Westland affiliates have invested more than $250 million into backbone infrastructure and subdivision improvements. Westland affiliates' remaining land holdings include land planned for development of nearly 3,500 dwelling units and 1.2 million square feet of commercial and office uses.
Many of the region's largest public and private homebuilders have been actively building in the Folsom Plan Area, including Toll Brothers, Lennar Homes, Tri Pointe Homes, Taylor Morrison, KB HOME Sacramento,Beazer Homes, Woodside Homes and Richmond American in more than ten separate development communities. Multifamily developers undertaking high density projects include Van Daele Homes, A.G. Spanos Company, and St. Anton Communities.
Dignity Health and UC Davis Medical, two of the region's major healthcare providers, own a total of approximately 70 acres within the Folsom Plan Area that are being developed into hospital and medical campus facilities. Development for the Dignity Health campus began in 2021, and significant land development has progressed. The UC Davis Medical property commenced development in August 2023.
The Folsom Plan Area, including Folsom Ranch and Russell Ranch, is widely considered to be the premier master-planned community in the Sacramento region. As of September 30,2024, final maps had been approved and recorded for 4,603 dwelling units. In addition, as of September 30, 2024,building permits for 3,871 residential units and 3,497 certifrcates of occupancy had been issued in the Folsom Plan Area for projects underway. Based on ownership data as of June 30,2024,3,110 homes had been conveyed to individual homeowners.
PLAN OF'FINANCE
Facilities to be Financed
The Bonds are issued for the purpose of providing funds to purchase the Local Obligations. The Local Obligations are being issued to finance the acquisition of certain public capital improvements more particularly described in the Resolution of Formation adopted by the City Council of the City on May 26, 2020. The City and TCS Improvement Company,LLc, a California limited liability company (the "Original Developer") have entered into an acquisition and shortfall agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") wherein the City has agreed to use a portion of the proceeds of the Local Obligations to finance the acquisition from the Original Developer of those facilities set forth in the Acquisition Agreement. Such facilities are expected to consist of certain transportation improvements, water system improvements, recycled water system improvements, drainage system improvements, wastewater system improvements, park, parkway and open space improvements, Specific Plan Infrastructure Fee program improvements and certain Specific Plan Infrastructure Fee obligations (collectively, the "Facilities").
Proceeds from the Local Obligations are expected to finance some, but not all, of the Facilities eligible to be financed within the District, and the District expects to issue one or more series of bonds to finance the acquisition of additional facilities in the future. See "PROPOSED PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT-Development Plan and Status of Development-Status of Development."
THE BONDS
General
The Bonds are secured by a pledge of amounts paid with respect to the Local Obligations. The Local Obligations are secured by a pledge of Special Taxes (including both the Facilities Special Tax and the Services Special Tax, each as defined herein), levied against Taxable Property within the l0 Page 167
11/12/2024 Item No.1.
Improvement Area, net of Priority Administrative Expenses. See "DEBT SERVICE SCHEDULE" and "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS." The Local Obligations are secured by a pledge of Special Taxes (net of Priority Administrative Expenses) on parity with any Additional Local Obligations (defined below).
The Local Obligations Indenture establishes a Local Obligation Reserve Fund and a Local Obligations Reserve Account therein with respect to the Local Obligations. Amounts available from the Local Obligations Reserve Account are available to pay debt service on the Local Obligations. The Local Obligations Indenture requires the funding of separate debt service reserve accounts for the Local Obligations and any Additional Local Obligations, each of which may be used only to pay the principal of and interest on the related series of special tax bonds issued under the Local Obligations Indenture. There is no reserve fund with respect to the Bonds. Amounts available from the Local Obligations Reserve Account are not available to cure a deficiency generally in the Trust Estate to make debt service payments on the Bonds.
Description of the Bonds
General. The Bonds will be dated their date of delivery and mature on September 1, as set forth on the inside front cover page hereof (each, a "Principal Payment Date"). Interest is payable semiannually on March 1 and September I of each year, commencing March 1,2025 (each, an "Interest Payment Date").
The Bonds will be issued as fully registered bonds, without coupons, in denominations of $5,000, or any integral multiple thereof. The Bonds will be issued in book-entry only form and will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC"). DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds. So long as the Bonds are in book-entry only form, principal of and redemption premium, if any, on the Bonds will be payable to DTC or its nominee, who will in tum remit such payments to DTC Participants for subsequent disbursement to the Beneficial Owners. See APPENDIX F-"DTC AND THE BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM." Principal of, and redemption premium, if any, on the Bonds is payable at the corporate trust office of the Trustee. Interest on the Bonds will be paid only to the registered owners as shown on the Trustee's books as of the fifteenth day of the calendar month next preceding each Interest Payment Date (the "Record Date"), except that in the case of an owner of $ I ,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Bonds outstanding, payment will be made at the owner's option by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account in a bank or trust company or savings bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve System and that is located in the continental United States of America according to instructions provided by such owner to the Trustee and received no later than the Record Date for such Interest Payment Date.
The Bonds are special, limited obligations of the Authority. The Bonds are payable solely from and secured by the Trust Estate of the Authority pledged under the Trust Agreement, consisting primarily of payments received by the Authority from the District under the Local Obligations, which payments are secured by a lien of the Special Taxes (defined herein) (net of Priority Administrative Expenses) levied upon property within the Improvement Area, as more fully described herein. See "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS."
Payments under the Local Obligations are calculated to be sufficient to permit the Authority to pay the principal of; and interest on, the Bonds when due. Pursuant to the Local Obligations Indenture, a Local Obligations Reserve Account is established for the Local Obligations. Amounts available from the Local Obligations Reserve Account are not available to cure a deficiency in the Trust Estate available to 1l Page 168

pay debt service of the Bonds. See "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS- Terms of the Local Obligations-Local Obligations Reserve Account." No Additional Bonds under the Trust Agreement. The Trust Agreement does not permit the Authority to issue any additional bonds on parity with the Bonds. However, subject to certain conditions contained in the Local Obligations Indenture, the District may at any time issue bonds (the "Additional Local Obligations") payable from the net proceeds of the Special Tax (after payment of Priority Administrative Expenses) on parity with the Local Obligations. See "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR TI{E BONDS-Terms of the Local Obligations-Additional Local Obligations." Redemption Provisions.
Optional Redemption The Bonds are subject to optional redemption by the Authority prior to their respective maturity dates as a whole or in part on any date on or after ,20_, from any source of available funds other than Minimum Sinking Fund Payments and Special Tax Prepayments, at the following redemption prices (computed upon the principal amount of the Bonds or portions thereof called for redemption) together with accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption:

11/12/2024 Item No.1.
Prepayments from prepaid Special Taxes could be made by any of the owners of any of the property within the Improvement Area, including Taylor Morrison, Folsom Real Estate South, any other developers or homebuilders owning Taxable Property in the Improvement Area, or any individual owner; and they could also be made from the proceeds ofbonds issued by or on behalfofan overlapping special assessment district or community facilities district. The resulting redemption of Bonds that were purchased at a price greater than the applicable redemption price could reduce the otherwise expected yield on such Bonds. See "CERTAIN RISKS TO BONDHOLDERS-Potential Early Redemption of Bonds from Prepaid Special Taxes."
Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption of Bonds. The Bonds maturing on September 1,20 , are subject to mandatory redemption in part on September 1 of each year commencing September 1,20-, at a redemption price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount thereof called for redemption together with accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption:

If the Bonds subject to mandatory redemption are redeemed in part prior to their stated maturity date other than from Minimum Sinking Fund Payments, the Minimum Sinking Fund Payments for such Bonds shall be reduced proportionately by the principal amount of such Bonds so redeemed.
Redemption Instructions. Upon any prepayment of a Local Obligation, the Authority shall deliver to the Trustee a Written Order of the Authority designating the amounts and maturities of the Bonds to be redeemed, which shall be in the manner necessary to enable the Authority to deliver a Cash Flow Certificate satisfuing the requirements described below. In the event only a portion of the Outstanding Bonds of any maturity are to be redeemed at any one time, the Trustee shall select the 13 Page 170
11/12/2024 Item No.1.
particular Bonds of each maturity date to be redeemed in accordance with DTC procedures (which, at the time of the issuance of the Bonds, would be a redemption by lot) or, if the Bonds are not then in book- entry, in a manner that it deems appropriate and fair. The Trustee shall redeem Bonds in Authorized Denominations.
Upon any redemption of a portion but not all of the Outstanding Bonds, the Authority shall deliver to the Trustee a Cash Flow Certificate to the effect that, assuming all payments are made with respect to the Local Obligations, (i) the Revenues, together with moneys on deposit in other funds and accounts held under the Trust Agreement, will be sufficient to pay all Principal Installments, Minimum Sinking Fund Payments and interest payments on the Bonds when due; and (ii) the redemption premiums, if any, on the Local Obligations, together with other Revenues available to the Trustee for such purpose, are sufficient to offset any difference between the interest to accrue on the Bonds to be paid or redeemed with the proceeds of prepayment of such Local Obligations (plus any redemption premium payable upon redemption of such Bonds) and the income to be earned on any investment of such proceeds (assured as of the date of payment thereof), in each case until the date of payment or redemption of Bonds, such that in no event will the prepayment of Local Obligations cause the Trustee to have insufficient funds to pay debt service on the Bonds when due.
In no event shall Bonds be redeemed if upon such redemption the principal amount of the Local Obligations remaining outstanding will be less than the total principal amount of Outstanding Bonds.
Such Written Order of the Authority may speciff that optional redemption of the Bonds will be conditioned upon receipt offunds or other events.
Notice of Redemption. Subject to receipt of the Written Order of the Authority described under "-Redemption Instructions," the Trustee shall give notice of redemption; prsYidgd, that Bonds, identified by CUSP numbers, serial numbers and maturity date, have been called for redemption and, in the case of Bonds to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount thereof that has been called for redemption (or if all the Outstanding Bonds are to be redeemed, so stating, in which event such serial numbers may be omitted), that they will be due and payable on the date fixed for redemption (speciffing such date) upon surender thereof to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, subject to any conditions to such redemption specified in the Written Order of the Authority, at the redemption price (specifring such price), together with any accrued interest to such date, and that all interest on the Bonds (or portions thereof) so to be redeemed will cease to accrue on and after such date and that from and after such date such Bond (or such portion thereof) shall no longer be entitled to any lien, benefit or security under the Trust Agreement, and the Owner thereof shall have no rights in respect of such redeemed Bond or such portion except to receive payment from such money of such redemption price plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. If sufficient monies for the payment of the redemption price of all Bonds to be redeemed are not then on deposit with the Trustee, such notice shall also state that redemption is conditioned upon the timely deposit of sufficient funds therefor with the Trustee.
Such notice shall be mailed by first class mail, in a sealed envelope, postage prepaid, at least thirty (30) but not more than sixty (60) days before the date fixed for redemption, to the Owners of such Bonds (or portions thereof) so called for redemption, at their respective addresses as the same shall last appear on the Bond Register; provided, that neither the failure of an Owner to receive notice of redemption of Bonds nor any error in such notice shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of Bonds.
Any notice of optional redemption may be rescinded by written notice given by the Authority to the Trustee no later than three Business Days prior to the date specified for redemption. The Trustee shall give notice of rescission of the notice of optional redemption or non-satisfaction of any conditions 14 Page 171
11/12/2024 Item No.1.
specified in the notice of optional redemption as soon as practicable to the same parties and in the same manner as the notice of redemption was given.
So long as the Bonds are in book-entry only form, notices of redemption will be given directly by the Trustee to DTC and not to the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds. See APPENDIX F-"DTC AND THE BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM."
Purchase in Lieu of Redemption. ln lieu of redemption of any Bond, amounts on deposit in the Proceeds Fund, the Principal Fund or in the Redemption Fund may be used and withdrawn by the Trustee at any time prior to a notice of redemption having been delivered, upon a Written Order for the purchase of such gonds at public or private sale as and when and at such prices as the Authority may in its discretion determine, but not in excess of the lower of the highest or then current redemption price thereof plus accrued interest to the purchase date; and all Bonds so purchased shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
Payment of Redeemed Bonds. If notice of redemption has been given and not rescinded and if the conditions to such redemption specified therein, if any, have been satisfied, each as provided in the Trust Agreement, the Bonds or portions thereof called for redemption will become irrevocably due and payable on the date fixed for redemption at the redemption price thereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, upon presentation and surrender of the Bonds to be redeemed at the office specified in the notice of redemption. If less than the full principal amount of a Bond is called for redemption, the Authority is required to execute and deliver and the Trustee is required to authenticate, upon surrender of such Bond, and without charge to the Owner thereof, Bonds of like interest rate and maturity in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Bonds so surrendered in such Authorized Denominations as specified by the Owner.
If any Bond or any portion thereof has been duly called for redemption and payment of the redemption price, together with unpaid interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, has been made or providid foi by the Authority, then interest on such Bond or such portion will cease to accrue from such date, and from and after such date such Bond or such portion will no longer be entitled to any lien, benefit or security under the Trust Agreement, and the Owner thereof will have no rights in respect of such Bond or such portion except to receive payment of such redemption price, and unpaid interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption.

DEBT SERVICE SCHEDULE
The annual scheduled debt service for the Bonds, assuming no early redemption other than from mandatory sinking fund installments, is set forth in Table I below. The Local Obligations are sized to provide 100% of the debt service on the Bonds when due and have the same principal amortization as the Bonds. The Local Obligations will be issued with an annual scheduled debt service that results in at least ll}Yo annual debt service coverage for the Local Obligations from the revenues of the Effective Tax Rate Evaluation Maximum Facilities Special Tax (as defined herein) for Developed Property and Small Lot Final Map Property as of August3l,2024, net of Priority Administrative Expenses, beginning with the levy for Fiscal Year 2025-26. The debt service on the Bonds is expected to increase approximately 2% annually through 2044 and then be level through the final maturity. The District expects that Additional Local Obligations will be issued on parity with the Local Obligations as the Improvement Area develops.

SECURITY AND SOI]RCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS
The Bonds are secured by a lien on and pledge of the Trust Estate, consisting primarily of payments received by the Authority from the District under the Local Obligations, which payments are secured by Special Taxes (net of Priority Administrative Expenses) levied upon property within the Improvement Area and received by the District.
NEITHER THE FAITH AND CREDIT NOR THE TAXING POWER OF THE CITY, THE
DISTRICT, THE AUTHORITY, THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OR ANY OTHER POLITICAL SUBDIVISION TTIEREOF IS PLEDGED TO THE PAYMENT OF THE BONDS. THE AUTHORITY HAS NO TAXING POWER. EXCEPT FOR TI{E TRUST ESTATE, NO OTHER REVENUES OR TAXES ARE PLEDGED TO THE PAYMENT OF THE BONDS. THE BONDS ARENOT GENERAL
OBLIGATIONS OF THE AUTHORITY, THE DISTRICT OR CITY, BUT ARE LIMITED
OBLIGATIONS OF THE AUTHORITY PAYABLE SOLELY FROM THE TRUST ESTATE, DERIVED PRIMARILY FROM PAYMENTS ON TI{E LOCAL OBLIGATIONS FROM THE
PAYMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAXES LEVIED WITHIN THE IMPROVEMENT AREA AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED HEREIN.
The Trust Agreement does not permit the Authority to issue any additional bonds on parity with the Bonds. However, subject to certain conditions contained in the Local Obligations Indenture, the District may at any time issue Additional Local Obligations payable from the net proceeds of the Special Tax (after payment of Priority Administrative Expenses) on parity with the Local Obligations. See "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS-Terms of the Local Obligations- Additional Local Obligations ;'
l8 Page 175
11/12/2024 Item No.1.
General
The Trust Estate consists of the Revenues, the amounts in certain of the funds established and held under the Trust Agreement, and the Local Obligations. The Revenues consist of amounts received by the Trustee as the payment of interest on, or the equivalent thereof, and the payment or return of principal of, or redemption premiums, if any, on, or the equivalent thereof, the Local Obligations, whether as a result of scheduled payments, or redemption premiums, Special Tax Prepayments or remedial proceedings taken in the event of a default thereon, and all investment earnings on any money held in the Funds held under the Trust Agreement (except the Rebate Fund).
The principal of and the interest on the Local Obligations are payable from the annual Special Taxes levied and to be collected on all real property within the Improvement Area subject to the Special Taxes and the proceeds, if any, from the sale of such properly for delinquency of such Special Taxes, after payment of Priority Administrative Expenses. The Special Taxes securing the Local Obligations include both the Facilities Special Tax and the Services Special Tax (each as defined herein) levied within the Improvement Area. The Local Obligations are secured by a pledge on the Special Taxes (net of Priority Administrative Expenses) on parity with the pledge of such Special Taxes for any Additional Local Obligations issued under the Local Obligations Indenture. See "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR TI{E BONDS-Payment of the Local Obligations" and "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS-Terms of the Local Obligations." The District may not issue indebtedness payable from the Special Taxes except as provided in the Local Obligations Indenture. See APPENDIX C-"SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL DOCUMENTS- SUMMARY OF THE LOCAL OBLIGATIONS INDENTURE-Authorization and Issuance of Bonds- Additional Bonds; Subordinate Bonds." The City has, however, formed CFD 17 and CFD 18, each of which has issued bonds secured by special taxes with a co-equal lien on property within the Improvement Area. See "FOLSOM PLAN AREA." The Authority, the District and the City have no control over the amount of additional debt payable from taxes or assessments on all or any portion of the properly within the Improvement Area that may be issued in the future by other governmental entities or districts having jurisdiction over all or a portion of the land within the Improvement Area, including CFD I 7 and CFD 1 8.
To the extent such debt is payable from other assessments or special taxes levied pursuant to the applicable law, such assessments or special taxes may have a lien on the property within the Improvement Area on parity with the lien of the Special Taxes.
Flow of Funds
Receipt and Deposit of Revenues. As noted above, Revenues consist of amounts received by the Trustee as the payment of interest on, or the equivalent thereof, and the payment or return of principal of, or redemption premiums, if any, on, or the equivalent thereof, all Local Obligations, whether as a result of scheduled payments, or redemption premiums, Special Tax Prepayments or remedial proceedings taken in the event of a default thereon, and all investment earnings on any money held under the Trust Agreement (except the Rebate Fund). All Revenues, other than Revenues derived from the early redemption of Local Obligations from Special Tax Prepayments received by the Trustee from the Authority, will be deposited into the Revenue Fund. On each Interest Payment Date and each Principal Payment Date, the Trustee will transfer Revenues from the Revenue Fund, in the amounts required in the order of priority as set forth below, with the requirements of each fund being fully satisfied, leaving no deficiencies therein, prior to any deposit into any fund later in priority:
First: To the Interest Fund, an amount of Revenues which together with amounts on deposit therein, is equal to the interest due and payable on the Bonds due on such Interest Payment Date;
19 Page 176
11/12/2024 Item No.1.
Second: To the Principal Fund (i) on each Principal Payment Date from the Revenue Fund an amount of Revenues which, together with any amounts then on deposit in the Principal Fund (other than amounts previously deposited on account of any Bonds which have matured but which have not been presented for payment) is sufficient to pay the Principal Installments on the Bonds due on such Principal Payment Date and (ii) on each September I on which a Minimum Sinking Fund Payment is required to be made (for deposit in the Sinking Fund Account) from the Revenue Fund an amount of Revenues which is equal to the Minimum Sinking Fund Payment due and payable on such date. On each Principal Payment Date, the Trustee shall pay the principal or redemption price due and payable on the Bonds on such date from the Principal Fund.
Following such deposits, any remaining money in the Revenue Fund is required to be transferred to the Local Obligations Trustee for application under the Local Obligations Indenture. For additional information regarding the Flow of Funds, see "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS-Local Obligations Flow of Funds."
Revenues Derived from Special Tax Prepayments. All Revenues derived from early redemption of Local Obligations from Special Tax Prepayments received by the Trustee will be immediately deposited into the Redemption Fund to be applied to the extraordinary redemption of Bonds. See "TIIE BoNDs-Redemption Provisions-Extraordinary Redemptionfrom Prepayment of Special Taxes." Description of Local Obligations
The District will issue the Local Obligations in the principal amount of $10,705,000.- The Local Obligations are secured solely by the Special Taxes (net of Priority Administrative Expenses) levied upon certain real property within the Improvement Area and proceeds of foreclosure sales in the Improvement Area. [The Local Obligations are sized so that, beginning with Fiscal Year 2025-26, the Special Tax is expected to only need to be levied on Developed Property to provide sufficient funds to pay the debt service on the Local Obligations. However, if needed, the Special Tax may be levied on other, less- developed categories of properly pursuant to the Rate and Method (as defined herein) and, as the Improvement Area continues to develop, the expected Special Tax levy on Developed Property will be allocated across a greater number of parcels.]
The pledge of Special Taxes (net of Priority Administrative Expenses) levied within the Improvement Area is on parity with the pledge thereof securing any Additional Local Obligations issued under the Local Obligations Indenture. The District may issue Additional Local Obligations secured on parity with the pledge of the Special Taxes (net of Priority Administrative Expenses) within the Improvement Area only in accordance with the Local Obligations Indenture. See APPENDIX C- ..SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL DOCUMENTS-SUMMARY OF THE LOCAL OBLIGATIONS INDENTURE-Authorization and Issuance of Bonds-ldditional Bonds; Subordinate Bonds." A description of the Improvement Area is set forth under the caption, "THE IMPROVEMENT AREA."
Issuance of Local Obligations
The Local Obligations are authorized pursuant to the Mello-Roos Act and are issued under a resolution of the City Council of the City, as legislative body of the District and the Local Obligations Indenture. The Mello-Roos Act was enacted by the State Legislature to provide an alternate method of * Preliminary, subject to change.

11/12/2024 Item No.1.
financing certain essential public capital facilities and services, especially in developing areas of the State.
Subject to approval by a two-thirds vote of qualified electors and compliance with the 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 to repay such indebtedness.
The Local Obligations constitute special tax obligations of the District payable as to both principal and interest from the annual Special Tax (after payment of the District's Priority Administrative Expenses) to be levied by the District on land within the Improvement Area, including proceeds from the sale of property within the Improvement Area collected as a result of foreclosure of the lien of the Special Taxes and certain funds and accounts held under the Local Obligations Indenture. The District's sole recourse in the event of a delinquency or failure to pay Special Taxes on a particular parcel is to institute foreclosure proceedings with respect to that parcel. However, the District is not obligated under the Local Obligations Indenture to enforce the lien of any delinquent installment of the Special Tax for any Fiscal Year in which the District has received one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of such installment from the County pursuant to the Teeter Plan. See "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS-Covenant for Foreclosure" and "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS-The Teeter Plan" herein.
Payment of the Local Obligations
The Local Obligations constitute the limited obligations of the District payable as to both principal and interest from the annual Special Tax (net of Priority Administrative Expenses) levied by the District on Taxable Properly within the Improvement Area, including proceeds from the sale of property within the Improvement Area collected as a result of foreclosure of the lien on the Special Taxes and certain funds and accounts held under the Local Obligations Indenture. The District's sole recourse in the event of a delinquency or failure to pay Special Taxes on a particular parcel is to institute foreclosure proceedings with respect to that parcel.
The term "Priority Administrative Expenses" means an amount equal to (a) for Fiscal Year 2024-25, $20,000, and (b) for any subsequent Fiscal Year, the amount resulting from increasing the Priority Adminishative Expenses on each July 1, from and including the July I immediately following the end of the then current Fiscal Year to and including the July 1 in such Fiscal Year by 2Yo of the amount in effect for the previous Fiscal Year.

Although the Special Tax will constitute a lien on property subject to taxation in the Improvement Area, it will not constitute a personal indebtedness of the owners of such property. There is no assurance that the owners will be financially able to pay the annual Special Tax or that they will pay such tax even if financially able to do so. The risk of nonpayment by propeffy owners is more fully described in "CERTAIN RISKS TO BONDHOLDERS-Collection of Special Tax." Local Obligations Flow of Funds
Application of Special Tax Fund. Pursuant to the Local Obligations Indenture, the District agrees and covenants that it will deposit the Special Tax proceeds in the Community Facilities Fund, which fund is established in the treasury of the City. All money in the Community Facilities Fund shall be used and withdrawn by the District solely for the benefit of the District in accordance with the Mello-Roos Act, including payment of Expenses and Services. Pursuant to the Local Obligations Indenture, the District further agrees and covenants that, after payment of Priority Administrative Expenses, it will transfer to the Local Obligations Trustee from the Community Facilities Fund amounts sufficient and in sufficient time for the Local Obligations Trustee to make the transfers required by it, and the Local Obligations Trustee shall deposit such proceeds as and when received in the Special Tax Fund. All money in the Special Tax Fund is required to be set aside by the Local Obligations Trustee in the following respective special account and fund within the Special Tax Fund in the following order of priority, and all money in each such account and fund shall be applied, used and withdrawn only for the purposes specified in the Local Obligations Indenture:
(l) Redemption Account; and
(2) Local Obligations Reserve Fund.
Redemption Account. On or before March 1 and September 1 in each year, the Local Obligations Trustee shall, from the money in the Special Tax Fund, transfer to and deposit in the Redemption Account an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount of interest becoming due and payable on all Outstanding Local Obligations and any Additional Local Obligations on such March I or September 1, as 22 Page 179
11/12/2024 Item No.1.
the case may be, and on or before September I in each year, the Local Obligations Trustee shall, from the then remaining money in the Special Tax Fund, transfer to and deposit in the Redemption Account an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount of principal becoming due and payable on all Outstanding serial Local Obligations and any Additional Local Obligations on such September I plus all Minimum Sinking Fund Account Payments required to be made on such September I into the Sinking Fund Subaccount; provided, that all of the aforesaid payments shall be made without priority of any payment over any other payment, and in the event that money in the Special Tax Fund on any March 1 or September 1 is not equal to the amount of interest becoming due on all Local Obligations and any Additional Local Obligations on such date, or in the event that the money in the Special Tax Fund on any September I is not equal to the amount of principal of the Local Obligations and Additional Local Obligations becoming due on such date, as the case may be, then such money shall be applied pro rata in such proportion as such interest and principal and Minimum Sinking Fund Account Payments bear to each other.
No deposit need be made into the Redemption Account if the amount of money contained therein is at least equal to the amount required by the terms of the preceding paragraph to be deposited therein at the times and in the amounts provided in the Local Obligations Indenture.
All money in the Redemption Account shall be used and withdrawn by the Local Obligations Trustee to pay the interest on the Local Obligations and any Additional Local Obligations as it shall become due and payable (including accrued interest on any Local Obligations or any Additional Local Obligations purchased or redeemed prior to maturity) plus the principal of and redemption premiums, if any, on the Local Obligations and any Additional Local Obligations as they shall mature or upon the prior redemption thereof, except that any money in the Sinking Fund Subaccount shall be used only to purchase or redeem or retire the term Local Obligations and any Additional Local Obligations as provided in the Local Obligations Indenture.
Local Obligations Reserve Fund. On or before March 1 and September I in each year, the Local Obligations Trustee shall, from the then remaining money in the Special Tax Fund, transfer to and deposit in each Local Obligations Reserve Account within the Local Obligations Reserve Fund such amount of money as shall be required to restore each such Local Obligations Reserve Account to a sum equal to the Required Bond Reserve (as defined herein) for the applicable series of Local Obligations or Additional Local Obligations, pro rata, to the extent that amounts are available in the Special Tax Fund for such purpose; and for this purpose all investments in each Local Obligations Reserve Account shall be valued on March 1 and September I of each year at the face value thereof if such investments mature within twelve (12) months from the date of valuation, or if such investments mature more than twelve (12) months after the date of valuation, at the price at which such investments are redeemable by the holder at his option, if so redeemable, or if not so redeemable, at the lesser of (i) the cost of such investments plus the amortization of any premium or minus the amortization of any discount, or (ii) the market value of such investments. For purposes of allocating remaining money in the Special Tax Fund between more than one Local Obligations Reserve Account, any such transfers to and deposits in each Local Obligations Reserve Account shall be made equally and ratably.
No deposit need be made into a Local Obligations Reserve Account if the value of the investments contained therein is at least equal to the Required Bond Reserve for the applicable series of Local Obligations or Additional Local Obligations.
All money in each Local Obligations Reserve Account shall be used and withdrawn by the Local Obligations Trustee solely for the purpose of paying the interest on or principal of the corresponding series of Local Obligations or Additional Local Obligations in the event there is insufficient money in the Redemption Account available for this purpose; ppvidgd, that if as a result of any of the foregoing 23 Page 180
11/12/2024 Item No.1.
valuations or due to redemption as a result of property owner prepayments it is determined that the amount of money in a Local Obligations Reserve Account exceeds or will exceed the Required Bond Reserve for the applicable series of Local Obligations or Additional Local Obligations, the Local Obligations Trustee shall withdraw the amount of money representing such excess from such fund and shall deposit such amount of money in the Redemption Account. For the avoidance of doubt, amounts in a Local Obligations Reserve Account are not available to make up a deficiency for the payment of principal and interest on any series of Local Obligations or Additional Local Obligations, other than the specific series of Local Obligations or Additional Local Obligations to which that Local Obligations Reserve Account relates.
Surplus Amounts. On or before March 1 and September 1 in each year, the Local Obligations Trustee shall, from the then remaining money in the Special Tax Fund, transfer all amounts remaining in the Special Tax Fund after the transfers specified in the immediately preceding paragraphs to the City for deposit in the Community Facilities Fund.
Special Tax Authorization
The Special Tax is to be levied and collected against all Taxable Property within the Improvement Area in accordance with the Rate and Method. See APPENDIX A-"RATE AND METHOD." The Special Tax is to be collected in the same manner as ordinary ad valorem property taxes are collected, and, except as otherwise provided in the covenant for foreclosure and in the Mello-Roos Act, is to be 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. See "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BONDS---Covenant for Foreclosure" and "CERTAIN RISKS TO BONDHOLDERS-Collection of Special Tax."
The Rate and Method, subject to the maximum rates set forth therein, apportions the total debt service requirement (principal, interest, and mandatory sinking fund payments), restoration of the Required Bond Reserve, current annual expenses, pay as you go improvement costs and other costs each year among the Taxable Property in the Improvement Area. See APPENDIX A-"RATE AND METHOD."
Pursuant to the Local Obligations Indenture, so long as any Local Obligations or Additional Local Obligations are Outstanding, the District is required annually to levy the Special Tax against all Taxable Property in the Improvement Area and make provision for the collection of such Special Tax in amounts which will be sufficient, after making reasonable allowances for contingencies and errors in the estimates, to yield proceeds equal to the amounts required for compliance with the agreements, conditions, covenants and terms contained in the Local Obligations Indenture, and which in any event will be sufficient to pay the interest on and principal of and Minimum Sinking Fund Account Payments for and redemption premiums, if any, on the Local Obligations and any Additional Local Obligations as they become due and payable, to replenish each reserve account within the Local Obligations Reserve Fund to the Required Bond Reserve and to pay all current Expenses as they become due and payable.
Under the Rate and Method, the Facilities Special Tax (as defined herein) levied in any fiscal year against any Assessor's Parcel (as defined in the Rate and Method) of Developed Property classified as Residential Property may not be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner or owners of any other parcel or parcels within the Improvement Area by more than 10oh above the amount that would have been levied against such Assessor's Parcel in that fiscal year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults. Pursuant to the Rate and Method, property is considered "Residential Property" once a building permit could be issued for the purposes of constructing one or more Residential Units, including either single family detached homes or multi-family attached properties, such as 24 Page 181
11/12/2024 Item No.1.
apartments, and propefty is considered "Developed Property" if a building permit for new construction was issued prior to June 30 of the previous fiscal year. See "CERTAIN RISKS TO BONDHOLDERS- Maximum Special Tax."
Covenant for Foreclosure
The Local Obligations Indenture provides that the Special Tax is to be collected in the same manner as ordinary ad valorem property taxes are collected and, except as provided in the special covenant for foreclosure described below and in the Mello-Roos Act, 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.
Pursuant to Section 53356.1 of the Mello-Roos Act, in the event of any delinquency in the payment of the Special Tax, the District may order the institution of a Superior Court action to foreclose the lien therefor within specified time limits. In such an action, the real property subject to the unpaid amount may be sold at a judicial foreclosure sale. Such judicial foreclosure action is not mandatory.
However, the District has covenanted in the Local Obligations Indenture that it will annually on or before September 1 of each year review the public records of the County relating to the collection of the Special Tax in order to determine the amount of the Special Tax collected in the prior Fiscal Year, and if it determines on the basis of such review that (1) the amount so collected is deficient by more than five percent (5%) of the total amount of the Special Tax levied in such Fiscal Year or (2) any individual lot or parcel is then delinquent on four or more installments of the Special Tax, then in each case the District agrees to, within sixty (60) days thereafter, institute foreclosure proceedings as authorized by the Mello- Roos Act in order to enforce the lien of the delinquent installments of the Special Tax against (i) in the case of clause (1) above, each delinquent lot or parcel in the Improvement Area or (ii) in the case of clause (2) above, such delinquent lot or parcel, respectively, which it agrees to diligently prosecute and pursue such foreclosure proceedings to judgment and sale; provided, that the District is not obligated to enforce the lien of any delinquent installment of the Special Tax for any Fiscal Year in which the District has received one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of such installment from the County pursuant to the Teeter Plan (described herein). Any actions taken to enforce delinquent Special Tax liens shall be taken only consistent with Sections 53356.1 through 53356.7, both inclusive, of the Government Code of the State of California.
In the event that sales or foreclosures of property are necessary, there could be a delay in payments to Owners of the Bonds (if the Local Obligations Reserve Account has been depleted) pending such sales or the prosecution of such foreclosure proceedings and receipt by the District ofthe proceeds of sale. However, within the limits of the Special Tax, the District may adjust the Special Tax levied on Taxable Property in the Improvement Area (subject to the limitation on the Maximum Facilities Special Tax, defined herein), to provide an amount required to pay interest on and principal of the Local Obligations and any additional obligations payable from the Special Tax, and the amount, if any, necessary to replenish each subaccount of the Local Obligations Reserve Fund to an amount equal to the Required Bond Reserve and to pay all current Expenses for the Improvement Area. There is, however, no assurance that the total amount of the Special Tax that could be levied and collected against Taxable Property (as defined in the Rate and Method) in the Improvement Area will be at all times sufficient to pay the amounts required to be paid by the Local Obligations Indenture, even if the Special Tax is levied at the Maximum Facilities Special Tax rates. See "CERTAIN RISKS TO BONDHOLDERS-Maximum Special Tax."
25 Page 182
11/12/2024 Item No.1.
No assurance can be given that the real property subject to sale or foreclosure will be sold, or if sold, that the proceeds of sale will be sufficient to pay any delinquent installments of the Special Tax.
The Mello-Roos Act does not require the District to purchase or otherwise acquire any lot or parcel of property to be sold if there is no other purchaser at such sale. The Mello-Roos Act and the Local Obligations Indenture do speciff that the Special Tax will have the same lien priority as for ad valorem property taxes in the case of delinquency. Section 53356.6 of the Mello-Roos Act requires that property within the Improvement Area that is sold pursuant to foreclosure under the Mello-Roos Act be sold for not less than the amount ofjudgment in the foreclosure action, plus post judgment interest and authorized costs, unless the consent of the owners of at least 7 5%;o of the Local Obligations and any Additional Local Obligations issued under the Local Obligations Indenture is obtained.
No Required Advances from Available Surplus Funds
Neither the City nor the District is obligated to advance available surplus funds available from the City treasury to pay debt service on the Local Obligations or to replenish the Local Obligations Reserve Account; provided, that nothing shall affect the right of the District under the Mello-Roos Act to make advances to cure any deficiencies.
Terms of the Local Obligations
General. The City Council of the City established the District and designated the Improvement Area therein on May 26, 2020. On that same date, the qualified electors of the District in the Improvement Area authorized the issuance of bonds in an amount not to exceed $64,000,000 for the Improvement Area.
The Local Obligations will be the first issuance of bonds for the Improvement Area. The Local Obligations will be issued in the aggregate principal amount of $10,705,000* pursuant to the Mello-Roos Act and the Local Obligations Indenture. The Local Obligations will be dated the date of delivery of the Bonds. The Local Obligations are secured by a pledge of the Special Taxes (net of Priority Administrative Expenses) levied within the Improvement Area. The District may issue Additional Local Obligations on parity with the Local Obligations in accordance with the Local Obligations Indenture.
Based on the expected Special Tax revenues at build-out, the District expects that, following the issuance of the Local Obligations, Additional Local Obligations will be issued to finance the Facilities in the Improvement Area in a total amount of approximately $28,000,000.* This amount may vary depending on the timing of the issuance of the Additional Local Obligations, the size of the homes built and resulting Special Tax revenues, and the applicable interest rates at the time of any such issuance.
Local Obligations Reserve Account. The Local Obligations Indenture establishes, for this series of the Local Obligations specifically, a Local Obligations Reserve Account within the Local Obligations Reserve Fund to be held by the Local Obligations Trustee. The Local Obligations Indenture requires that there be maintained in the Local Obligations Reserve Account an amount equal to the Required Bond Reserve. "Required Bond Reserve" is defined to mean, for the Local Obligations specifically, as of any date of calculation, the least ofi (a) the Maximum Annual Debt Service, (b) one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Average Annual Debt Service or (c) ten (10%) percent of the original principal amount of the Local Obligations; provided that the Required Bond Reserve shall be calculated on the date of issuance of the Local Obligations issued under the Local Obligations Indenture and shall not increase thereafter; and provided further that such requirement (or any portion thereof) may be satisfied by the provision of one or more policies of municipal bond insurance or surety bonds issued by a municipal bond insurer or by a letter of credit issued by a bank, the obligations insured by which insurer or issued by * Preliminary, subject to change.
26 Page 183
11/12/2024 Item No.1.
which bank, as the case may be, have ratings at the time of issuance of such policy or surety bond or letter of credit equal to "AA" or higher (without regard to qualifier) assigned by Fitch or "Aa" or higher (without regard to qualifier) assigned by Moody's or "AA" or higher (without regard to qualifier) assigned by S&P.
The Local Obligations Reserve Account is established specifically for the Local Obligations, and amounts in the Local Obligations Reserve Account are not available to make up a deficiency for the payment of principal and interest on any Additional Local Obligations. Pursuant to the Local Obligations Indenture, each reserve account within the Local Obligations Reserve Fund is only available for paying the interest on or principal of the corresponding series of Local Obligations or any Additional Local Obligations for which it was created.
The Required Bond Reserve with respect to the Local Obligations upon their date of issuance will be$
All money in the Local Obligations Reserve Account will be used and withdrawn by the Local Obligations Trustee solely for the purpose of paying the interest on and principal of the Local Obligations in the event there is insufficient money available for the purpose; provided, that if as a result of any of the valuation of a Required Bond Reserve or as a result of any property owner prepayment it is determined that the amount of money in the Local Obligations Reserve Account exceeds the Required Bond Reserve, the Local Obligations Trustee shall withdraw the amount of money representing such excess from such fund and shall deposit such amount of money in the Redemption Account. Amounts on deposit in the Local Obligations Reserve Account are not available to cure a deficiency in Revenues available to pay debt service on the Bonds.
Additional Local Obligations. The District may at any time, by a supplement to the Local Obligations Indenture, issue Additional Local Obligations that are payable from the proceeds of the Special Tax (after payment of Priority Administrative Expenses) on parity with the Local Obligations, subject to the following conditions, which conditions are precedent to the issuance of such Additional Local Obligations:
(i) The District shall be in compliance with all agreements, conditions, covenants and terms contained in the Local Obligations Indenture and in all Supplemental Indentures required to be observed or performed by it, and no Event of Default under the Local Obligations Indenture or under any Supplemental Indenture shall have occurred and shall be then continuing; (ii) The District shall establish a separate subaccount of the Local Obligations Reserve Fund for the payment of such Additional Local Obligations in an amount equal to the Required Bond Reserve; and
(iii) (a) In each year until the maturity date for the Additional Local Obligations, the Maximum Facilities Special Tax for Taxable Property classified as Developed Property, plus the Effective Tax Rate Evaluation Minimum Facilities Revenue (as defined in the Rate and Method) for Taxable Property not classified as Developed Property less Priority Administrative Expenses is estimated to cover at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the sum of the Annual Debt Service for each year on the Local Obligations and all Additional Local Obligations, including such Additional Local Obligations to be issued, and (b) the Value of all Taxable Properly, in aggregate, is at least three (3) times the aggregate Lien on such Taxable Property.
27 Page 184
11/12/2024 Item No.1.
"Developed Propeffy" means, for purposes of the requirement described above relating to the issuance of Additional Local Obligations, Taxable Property for which a building permit for new construction has been issued as ofthe date ofcalculation. "Effective Tax Rate Evaluation Minimum Facilities Revenue" means the total minimum amount of the Effective Tax Rate Evaluation Maximum Facilities Special Tax, as adjusted annually by the Facilities Special Tax Escalation Factor after the Fiscal Year in which the Effective Tax Rate Evaluation occurred, less any Effective Tax Rate Evaluation Maximum Facilities Special Tax amounts prepaid and permanently satisfied pursuant to the provisions of Section K of the Rate and Method. "Maximum Facilities Special Tax" is the total maximum annual Facilities Special Tax, determined in accordance with the provisions of Section C of the Rate and Method, which may be levied in any Fiscal Year on any Assessor's Parcel of Taxable Property (each as defined in the Rate and Method).
"Value" is defined as the current assessed valuation of the Taxable Property and/or the appraised value of the Taxable Property determined by a MAI appraiser. "Lien" is defined in the Local Obligations Indenture as the aggregate principal amount of all overlapping debt and bonds (including the Local Obligations and any Additional Local Obligations) outstanding that are secured by a special tax levied pursuant to the Mello-Roos Act or a special assessment levied on property within the Improvement Area, including any overlapping debt or bonds for community facilities districts or special assessment districts that is reasonably allocated to property within the Improvement Area.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the District may issue one or more series of Additional Local Obligations (the "Refunding Local Obligations") without meeting the requirements summarized in paragraph (iii) above if, after the issuance and delivery of such Refunding Local Obligations, either (i) none of the Local Obligations and Additional Local Obligations theretofore issued under the Local Obligations Indenture will be Outstanding or (ii) the Debt Service in each Bond Year that begins after the issuance of such Refunding Local Obligations is not increased by reason of the issuance of such Refunding Local Obligations.
Redemption of the Local Obligations. The Local Obligations are subject to extraordinary redemption by the District from funds derived by the District from prepayments of the Special Tax. The Local Obligations are also subject to optional and mandatory redemption by the District. A description of the redemption prices and terms of the Local Obligations is set forth under APPENDIX C-"SUMMARY
OF PRINCIPAL DOCUMENTS-SUMMARY OF THE LOCAL OBLIGATIONS INDENTURE- Redemption of 2024 Bonds."
Selection of Local Obligations for Redemption. If less than all the outstanding Local Obligations and any Additional Local Obligations are to be redeemed as a result of prepayments of the Special Tax at any one time, the Local Obligations and any Additional Local Obligations shall be redeemed pro rata by maturity. If less than all the outstanding Local Obligations and any Additional Local Obligations are to be redeemed at the option of the District at any one time, the Local Obligations and any Additional Local Obligations of the latest maturity date or dates shall be redeemed prior to or simultaneously with the redemption of the Local Obligations and any Additional Local Obligations maturing prior thereto, and if less than all the outstanding Local Obligations and any Additional Local Obligations of any one maturity date are to be redeem ed at any one time, the Trustee shall select the Local Obligations and any Additional Local Obligations or the portions thereof of such maturity date to be redeemed in integral multiples of five thousand dollars ($5,000) in a manner that it deems appropriate and fair. 28 Page 185

Special Tax Analysis
The following is a synopsis of the provisions of the Rate and Method, which should be read in conjunction with the complete text of the Rate and Method which is attached as APPENDIX A. The definitions of the capitalized terms used under this caption "-special Tax Analysis" are as set forth in APPENDIX A. This section provides only a summary of the Rate and Method, and is qualified by more complete and detailed information contained in the entire Rate and Method attached as APPENDIX A.
The Special Tax is to be levied and collected against all Taxable Property within the Improvement Area in accordance with the Rate and Method approved by the landowner electors of the Improvement Area.

The Teeter Plan
In July 1993, the Board of Supervisors of the County approved the implementation of the Alternative Method of Distribution of Tax Levies and Collections and of Tax Sale Proceeds (the "Teeter Plan"), as provided for in Section4T0I et seq. of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. Underthe Teeter Plan, the County apportions secured property taxes on an accrual basis (irrespective of actual collections) to local political subdivisions for which the County acts as the tax-levying or tax-collecting agency.
Under the Teeter Plan, the County distributes tax collections on a cash basis to taxing entities during the fiscal year and shortly after year-end, and also distributes 100% of any taxes delinquent as of June 3Oth to the taxing entities and those special assessment districts and community facilities districts (and individual parcels within each district) that the County determines are eligible to participate in the Teeter Plan by the end of the calendar year. The County may make eligibility determinations on an annual basis and may exclude a district or an individual parcel that had previously been included in the plan. The County has the discretion to determine which delinquent special taxes will be paid through the Teeter Plan on a case-by-case basis.
The County's policy includes the following criteria for delinquent parcels to be excluded from the County's Teeter Plan: (1) tax bills belonging to a governmentaUpublic agency; (2) common area parcels; (3) tax bills on the unitary assessed values or pipeline assessed values; (4) special assessments (subject to judiciary foreclosure) to be stripped from the tax bill; (5) bankruptcy; (6) demolition of the property; (7) vacant buildings (due to a risk of possible demolition); (8) contamination of the property; (9) property that is subjected to the "sealed bid"; (10) the delinquent amount is greater than or equal to assessed value of the property; (11) property that is de-enrolled from the Teeter Plan in previous years under the same owner and (12) the amount of code enforcement liens, other delinquent abatement liens, and delinquent utilities abatement liens, and delinquent utilities levied on the property is equal to or greater than 5o/o of the assessed value of the property. Such policy may be amended by the County at any time and could impact the inclusion of certain delinquent parcels in the Teeter Plan in future years.
The County's policy is that any new taxing entity or special assessment district that includes its levy on the County tax roll is qualified to be under the County's Teeter Plan. The District is included in the County's Teeter Plan. See, however "CERTAIN RISKS TO BONDHOLDERS-Teeter Plan Termination." The District can provide no assurance that the County will continue to include the District in the Teeter Plan.
THE AUTHORITY
The Authority was created by a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, effective April 20,2075 (the "JPA Agreement"), between the City and the City of Folsom South of 50 Parking Authority. The JPA Agreement was entered into pursuant to the Joint Exercise of Powers Act, Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code of the State.

11/12/2024 Item No.1.
Certain economic and demographic information with respect to the City is contained in APPENDIX B. This information is presented solely as background information. The Local Obligations are not general obligations of the City but, rather, are special tax obligations of the District secured solely by the Special Taxes to be paid by the owners of property in the Improvement Area and funds held pursuant to the Local Obligations Indenture.
THE IMPROVEMENT AREA
General Description and Location
The District is a community facilities district organized by the City Council as the legislative body of the District under the Mello-Roos Act for the purpose of providing for the acquisition and conitruction of certain public improvements and the financing of certain services to serve property within the District. The City established the District on May 26,2020, and designated six separate improvement areas therein, including the Improvement Area. On May 26,2020, elections were held within the District for each improvement area therein at which the eligible voters in each improvement area approved the levy of special taxes in accordance with the respective Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax for such improvement area. In addition, the eligible voters in the Improvement Area authorized the issuance of bonds in an amount not to exceed $64,000,000 for the Improvement Area. Pursuant to the Mello-Roos Act, the qualified electors were the landowners of Taxable Property within each Improvement Area. In connection with the landowner election, all electors delivered customary waivers to iertain matters relating to the conduct of the election. In Decembet 2021, a seventh improvement area was designated within the District.
The District expects that such bonds and any bonds issued for the other improvement areas within the District from time to time will be issued to finance the authorized public facilities for the benefit of the District. With respect to the Improvement Area, such bonds will be issued only in accordance with the provisions of the Local Obligations Indenture. The total bonded indebtedness authorized in the Impiovement Area will be limited by the requirements of the Local Obligations Indenture, including the foliowing requirements relating to any Additional Local Obligations: a 3:1 overlapping value to lien ratio on all land plojected to be subject to the levy of the Special Tax and ll}Yo annual coverage from the Maximum Facilities Special Tax for Taxable Property classified as Developed Property (as defined in the Local Obligations Indenture), plus the Effective Tax Rate Evaluation Minimum Facilities Revenue for Taxable Property not classified as Developed Property (as defined in the Local Obligations Indenture) less Priority Administrative Expenses. See "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE BOND S-Term s of the Local Obl i g ations-Addi t i on al L o c al O b I i gat i on s ;' The Improvement Area is located in the southern portion of the City, west of East Bidwell Street, north of Mangini Parkway and south of U.S. Highway 50 and consists of over 150 total gross acres (excluding non-parcel areas, such as roadways), of which approximately 95 acres are subject to the Special Tax. The maps appearing on the inside cover pages show the general location of the District and the Improvement Area.
Presently, the Improvement Area includes properties in varying stages of development, including unimproved land, finished lots, homes under construction, and completed and sold homes. Collectively, these properties are planned to include 648 single family homes. In the portion of the Improvement Area being developed by Taylor Morrison, home construction and sales are well underway. This portion of the Improvement Area will ultimately contain 260 of the 648 single family homes.
The remainder of the Taxable Property within the Improvement Area (refered to herein as the Four Large Lots) is owned by Folsom Real Estate South, which is actively negotiating with a nationally- 39 Page 196
11/12/2024 Item No.1.
recognized homebuilder that it expects to develop that land to include 388 single family homes.
Currently, the Four Large Lots are in the very early stages of development and do not yet have an approved small lot tentative map. Construction of these additional 388 homes will also require the Uuitaer to complete the necessary infrastructure improvements, including mass grading, utilities and roadway improvements, and subdivision improvements. Construction of the public improvements and backbone infrastructure in the Improvement Area is nearly complete, as more particularly described ,,PROPOSED PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT-Development Plan of Finance." Property Values
Parcels of Taxable Property within the Improvement Area with assessed structural improvements values of $300,000 or more as reported by the County of Sacramento Assessor (the "Unappraised Properly") had, in aggregate, an assessed land and improvements value of $80,841,034 as of January l, 2024, as such value was reported by the County Assessor on July 1,2024. Assessed values are opinions of property value determined by the County Assessor's office for property tax purposes. Such assessed value determinations may be subject to appeal by property owners. The resolution of an appeal may result in a reduction to the County Assessor's original taxable value. Although such a result would not reduce the Special Tax on the property, any reduction in the assessed values of property would have an adverse impact on the value-to-debt ratios discussed herein and could lessen the ability or willingness of the ownerJ of such property to pay their assessments. Moreover, assessed values do not necessarily represent the current market value for any parcel'
An appraisal of the remainder of the Taxable Properly within the Improvement Area has been prepared by the Appraiser in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. The purpose of the appraisal was io estimate the market value, subject to the Special Tax and based upon a hypothetical condition, for each parcel of Taxable Property within the Improvement that, as of July 1,2024, (i) was not reported by the-County of Sacramento Assessor to have any assessed structural improvements value or (ii) was reported by the County of Sacramento Assessor to have an assessed structural improvements value of less than $300,000 (such portion, the "Appraised Property"). The appraisal estimates the market value of the Appraised Properly as of August3l,2024 (the "Appraisal"). The Appraisal is attached to this Official Statement as APPENDIX G.
As of the date of inspection, the Appraiser notes that development of portions of the property is underway. The subject property was valued based on the hypothetical conditions that the public improvements to be financed with the proceeds of the Local Obligations have been paid. The Appraisal is based on property values at the time of inspection.
Subject to the assumptions, hypothetical condition and limiting conditions, the Appraiser estimated that the value of the Appraised Property within the Improvement Area had an estimated not- less-than aggregate land value of $69,275,000 as of August 31, 2024. See APPENDIX G- ..APPRAISAL."
Collectively, the aggregate value of the Taxable Property within the Improvement Area (including both the Unappraised Property and the Appraised Property) is $150,116,034.
Value-to-Lien Analysis
The following table sets forth the ratios of the properly values of the Taxable Property to the total liens on the property in the Improvement Area based on the development status of the property as of August 31,2024. The following table shows the value-to-lien ratios for the Improvement Area based on the development status of the Taxable Property as of August3l,2024, for (i) Developed Properfy, Small Lot Final Map Property, and Large Lot Property and (ii) the owners of the Taxable Property. See 40 Page 197
11/12/2024 Item No.1.
"PROPOSED PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT-Development Entitlements." The following table also shows the estimated Facilities Special Tax levy for Fiscal Year 2025-26 based on the properties' current map status as Developed Property, Small Lot Final Map Property, and Large Lot Properly. The value-to- lien ratio for the Improvement Area based solely on the Local Obligations and the appraised value of the land within the Improvement Area is 14.0*:1.0. The overall value to overlapping debt ratio, including certain overlapping general obligation tax and assessment debt, CFD 17 special tax debt, and CFD 18 special tax debt, is 10.5-:1.0 (see "-Overlapping Debt"). Any bonds secured by special assessments or special taxes issued from time to time may have the effect of reducing the value to lien ratio on propefty within the Improvement Area.

11/12/2024 Item No.1.
Overlapping Debt
Set forth below is an overlapping debt table showing the existing authorized indebtedness payable with respect to property within the Improvement Area. Additional indebtedness could be authorized by other public agencies at any time. Further, a portion of the overlapping debt shown in the table below is based on the assessed value of the underlying properly, which can be expected to increase over time as development occurs and the assessed value grows. This table (excluding the footnotes) has been prepared by California Municipal Statistics, Inc. as of September 1,2024, and is included for general information purposes only. The overlapping debt table below does not reflect the $26,735,000 aggregate principal amount of CFD 18 bonds that were issued in October 2024. Other than with respect to CFD 17, the table below allocates overlapping debt based on the assessed value of property and not on taxes paid. The District and the Authority have not reviewed the data for completeness or accuracy and make no representations in connection therewith.
The City authorized the issuance of up to $8,000,000 of bonds for CFD 17, of which $6,675,000 has been issued. Further, the City authorized the issuance of up to $200,000,000 in bonds for CFD 18. In October 2024, CFD 18 issued bonds in the aggregate principal amount of 526,735,000 to help finance the Phase 2 Water Transmission Facilities (as defined herein). A portion of any bonds issued for CFD 18 constitutes overlapping debt. The Improvement Area constitutes approximately 4.6% by acres of CFD 1 8, however any overlapping debt issued by CFD 17 or CFD 18 will not be allocated to the properties in the Improvement Area based on their acreage, and the amount of overlapping debt allocated may vary over time. Based on the development status within CFD 18 as of August 31,2024, the Improvement Area would generate approximately 5.6% of the maximum CFD l8 special tax levy for bonds. This share of the maximum CFD 18 special tax levy for bonds is expected to decrease over time as undeveloped properties within CFD l8 become approved with final maps or developed. Other community facilities districts formed in the Folsom Ranch area will overlap CFD 18 and potentially CFD 17 but are not expected to overlap the Improvement Area. The lien of the Special Taxes for the Improvement Area is on parity with the lien of the special taxes for CFD l7 and CFD 18.
Direct assessments and levies payable with respect to property within the Improvement Area could potentially include up to $750 million of general obligation bonds for the School Facilities Improvement District No.3 of the Folsom Cordova Unified School District ("SFID 3"), approved by voters on March 27,2007. SFID 3 encompasses approximately 52.6 square miles of land including the District and additional territory outside of the District, including territory in the City of Rancho Cordova and unincorporated Sacramento County. As of October 2, 2024, general obligation bonds in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $195.6 million had been issued and approximately $178.7 million were outstanding for SFID 3. At the time of the election approving the SFID 3 general obligation bonds, the ballot summary indicated the average tax rate per $100,000 assessed valuation would be $73.61. For 2023-24, the actual SFID 3 tax rate per $100,000 was approximately $206.30. The following table sets forth the ad valorem tax rates for SFID 3 over the past five years. The future tax levy per property owner in SFID 3 may vary depending on future bond issuance and/or changes in assessed value. [REMAINDER OF PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]

Historical Special Tax Levy
The Special Tax (including both the Facilities Special Tax and the Services Special Tax) was first levied in the Improvement Area for Fiscal Year 2023-24 in the total amount of $366,462.62. This total Special Tax levy for Fiscal Year2023-24was comprised of $235,077.63 for the Facilities Special Tax and$l31,384.99fortheServicesSpecialTax. TheFiscalYear2023-24SpecialTaxwasleviedupon264 parcels and, as of June 30,2024, no parcels in the Improvement Area were delinquent.
PROPOSED PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT
Development Entitlements
Specific Plan. On June 28,2011, the City Council approved the original Specific Plan for the development of the Folsom Plan Area. Various property owners have submitted and received approvals of Specific Plan amendments since the 201I City Council adoption. Most recently, the City revised its Specific Plan to provide for an increase in housing density in order to provide for more affordable housing options. Such Specific Plan amendments were approved by the City Council on August 27, 2024.
The Specific Plan provides for 13,343 total dwelling units and 2.5 million square feet of commercial, office/industrial and mixed use. The Specific Plan also providesfor275.7 acres of public and quasi-public use (public and private schools, parks and infrastructure);182 acres of major roads and l,ll4.5 acres of open space.
The Specific Plan is designed to guide and regulate the development for the area within the City south of US Route 50.
Tentative and Final Mapping. To date, final maps have been approved and recorded for the 260 lots within the Improvement Area owned by Taylor Morrison or individual homeowners. No tentative or final maps have been approved or recorded for the remainder of the Taxable Property within the Improvement Area. Design review approval, which provides for City review of the home plans, architecture and conformance to certain development standards, has been completed for all 260 homes constructed by, or being constructed by, Taylor Morrison within the Improvement Area.
Site Access. External access to the project site will be provided via East Bidwell Sheet to the east, Savannah Parkway to the north, and Mangini Parkway to the south. Pedestrian circulation is provided by a combination of street-separated sidewalks, open space trails, park trails and pathway connections. Proposed on-site improvements include: underground utilities, drainage improvements, retaining walls, driveways, on-street parking, curbs/gutters, sidewalks, pathways, trails, fencing, site lighting, site landscaping, and park enhancements.
Design Guidelines. The Folsom Ranch Central District Design Guidelines (of which the Improvement Area is a part) were approved by the City concurrent with certain Tentative Map approvals on June 23,2015. The design guidelines provide for the orderly development of the proposed single family residential subdivision. The primary purpose of these design guidelines is to articulate the general architectural and design expectations for the proposed residential neighborhood, the landscapes, hardscapes, open spaces, fencing, entry features and site lighting. The goal ofthe design guidelines is to establish a regulatory framework for the design of individual homes on the residential lots. The final design details of the homes are subject to review and approval by the City's Planning Commission as part of future Design Review applications for each applicable development' 46 Page 203
11/12/2024 Item No.1.
Development Conditions/Building Permit Limitations. Certain provisions of the PFFP for the Folsom Plan Area, as implemented through tentative subdivision map conditions, require certain infrastructure be installed or place other limits on the number of building permits that can be issued before certain facilities and/or backbone infrastructure is in place.
For example, certain tentative maps require a fire station to be operational prior to the occupancy of the 1,500th home in the Folsom Plan Area. The City's first fire station within the Folsom Plan Area opened on September 26, 2024.
Phase 2 Water Infrastructure. The City estimates the Phase 1 Water Facilities (as defined herein) have a sustained maximum day demand of up to 2.0 million gallons. A study prepared by Peterson Brustad, Inc. in April 2019 then estimated that water usage would equal or exceed a sustained maximum day demand of up to 2.0 million gallons when approximately 2,800 to 3,300 dwelling units within the Folsom Plan Area had been occupied.
Certain additional water backbone facilities (collectively, the o'Phase 2 Water Facilities") will be constructed to provide expanded water transmission conveyance capabilities to deliver water from the City's water treatment plant to the Folsom Plan Area.
The Phase 2 Water Facilities include (i) a water transmission pipeline (the "Phase 2 Water Transmission Facilities") to be constructed with the proceeds of CFD 18 bonds issued in Octobet 2024, (ii) the Zone 4 Water Facilities (consisting of a zone-specific water tank and booster pump station), and (iii) the remaining Phase 2 Water Facilities (consisting of another zone-specific water tanks and booster pump station) (the "Remaining Phase 2 Water Facilities"), which will be constructed atalater date. The City expects that the Zone 4 Water Facilities and the Remaining Phase 2 Water Facilities would need to be constructed after the completion of the Phase 2 Water Transmission Facilities to maintain the City's standards for delivering water to its customers.
See "PROPOSED PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT - Development Entitlements - Water Supply Infrastructure" below for a more detailed discussion of the Phase 2 Water Facilities and their expected timing and cost.
Developers within the Folsom Plan Area have requested that the Phase 2 Water Facilities be funded in whole or in partthrough bonds issued for CFD 18 and certain pay-go proceeds from CFD 17 and CFD 18 special taxes. See "FOLSOM PLAN AREA-Folsom Plan Area Developmenf' for a discussion of certain development and investment that has already occurred within the Folsom Plan Area and additional future development and investment that is anticipated as the Folsom Plan Area continues to be developed. The timing of issuance of bonds for CFD 18 is dependent upon market conditions and development within the Folsom Plan Area, and additional development within CFD 18 may be required to generate CFD 18 special tax revenues sufficient for funding all of the Phase 2Water Facilities. There can be no assurance that bond proceeds will be available when needed to construct the Phase 2 Water Facilities or to reimburse the developers for costs expended therefor. See "PROPOSED PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT - Development Entitlements - Water Supply Infrastructure" below for a more detailed discussion of the amount and timing of the issuance of CFD 18 bonds to finance the Phase 2 Water Transmission Facilities.
Based on the current stage of planning for the Phase 2 Water Transmission Facilities, the development stage and planned development timeline for the Improvement Area as described in this Official Statement, and the available water facilities servicing the Improvement Area, Taylor Morrison, Folsom Real Estate South, the City, and the District do not believe that these conditions will materially impede development of the Improvement Area as currently planned. However, multiple other 47 Page 204
11/12/2024 Item No.1.
development projects are underway in the Folsom Plan Area, and if there were an unforeseen and signifiiant delay in construction in the Improvement Area it is possible that other development within the Folsom Plan Area will overtake development of the Improvement Area, resulting in the need for completion of the Phase 2 Water Transmission Facilities before all development could be completed within the Improvement Area.
Armlt Corps of Engineers liletland Permitting, Biological Opinion. Streambed Alteration Asreements and Section 106 Compliance. On May 22,2014, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (the "USACOE") issued a Record of Decision ("ROD') for the Folsom South of U.S. Highway 50 Specific Plan Project - City of Folsom Backbone Infrastructure. This wetland permit covered the wetland permitting requirements for the entire backbone infrastructure necessary to serve the Folsom Plan Area.
To the extent backbone infrastructure was required within a property owner's land, the backbone wetland permit authorized the filling of waters of the U.S. necessary for such construction. Each landowner thereafter is required to obtain their own wetland permit for the fill ofjurisdictional wetlands not included in the footprint of the backbone wetland permit. As discussed in greater detail below, the Folsom Plan Area has received all required environmental permits'
Development Agreement Through City Ordinance No. 1149, the City approved a Tier 1 Development Agreement between the City and the property owners within the Folsom Plan Area on July 12,2011. The effective date of the ordinance was Augustll,2011. The Tier 1 Development Agieement vests certain rights of the property owners and of the City and commits each party to the agreements to subsequent actions before development may proceed within the Folsom Plan Area.
Separate First Amended and Restated Tier 1 Development Agreements (the "ARDAs") were entered into among certain property owners and the City for their applicable properties, as approved by the City through City Ordinance No. 1211. The ARDAs for the properly owners comprising the property within the Improvement Area were recorded in the official records of the County of Sacramento in July 2014' The City entered into Amendment No. 1 to the ARDA with Carpenter East, which was recorded in the official records of the County of Sacramento in January 2016. The City also entered into Amendment Nos. 1 and 2 to the ARDA with Folsom Real Estate South, which were each recorded in the official records of the County of Sacramento in January 2016. See "PROPOSED PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT-Property Ownership."
Article 2.5 (commencing with Section 65864), of Chapter 4, Division l, Title 7 of the State Government Code, pertaining to development agreements, has the general effect of authorizing development to continue in accordance with then existing General Plan, Specific Plan, zoning and subdivision regulations notwithstanding any subsequently enacted conflicting regulations, except for regulations the failure of which to enact would place the residents in a condition which is dangerous to their health or safety or both.
Environmental Permits and Approvals. The California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), constituting Division 13 of the State Public Resources Code (commencing with Section 21000) requires that an Environmental Impact Report (an "EIR"), detailing the significant environmental effects of the project and proposed mitigation measures, be prepared, considered and certified as complete by a public agency prior to its taking discretionary action on any project which may have a significant effect on the environment.
In June 2071, after statutorily required public notice, hearing and comment, the City Council certified as adequate and complete a final EIR/EIS for the Specific Plan for the development of the Folsom Plan Area. The EIWEIS satisfied both CEQA and the National Environmental Policy Act for the entirety of the Folsom Plan Area. In February 2015,the City Council of the City adopted the South of Highway 50 Backbone Infrastructure Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (Backbone 48 Page 205
11/12/2024 Item No.1.
Infrastructure MND), dated December 9, 2014. In addition, in connection with amendments to the Specific Plan, after statutorily required public notice, hearing and comment, the City Council certified as adequate and complete a final subsequent environmental impact report addressing increased density in light of the impact analysis provided in the EIRJEIS for the Specific Plan.
The Folsom Plan Area has received all required environmental permits, including a Section 404 Permit for the entire Folsom Plan Area pursuant to Section 404 of the federal Clean Water Act' This permit allows for any necessary fill of jurisdictional wetlands and streambed alterations for the construction of backbone infrastructure to serve the entire Folsom Plan Area at build-out. In addition, a Biological Opinion has been obtained from the US Fish and Wildlife Service for the entire Folsom Plan Area, together with a California Department of Fish and Wildlife Master Streambed Alteration Permit with conditions for the whole of the Folsom Plan Area. All of the property in the Improvement Area subject to the Special Tax has received its Section 404 Permit and a subnotification approval from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
l{ater Suppht The City entered into an agreement (the "Water Supply Agreement") with the property owners in the Folsom Plan Area providing for a water supply for new development south of US Route 50. The Water Supply Agreement was supported by an addendum to the EIR. The Water Supply Agreement provides adequate water supply for full build out of the Improvement Area and the rest of ihe Folsom Plan Area (except the portion of the Folsom Plan Area serviced by the El Dorado Irrigation District). The amount of water provided in the Water Supply Agreement to meet the build-out demands of the Folsom Plan Area project is projected to be 5,600 acre-feet annually.
Water Suppllt in Folsom Generalht The primary water supply source for the City is Folsom Reservoir, which provides the water supply for all of the City south of the American River. The City has water rights and contracts for up to 34,000 acre-feet annually ("aft') through three different contracts with the United States Bureau of Reclamation ("Reclamation"). The surface water supplies were developed through different circumstances and, as such, are subject to unique conditions and limitations.
These attributes and issues affect the volume of water available under certain conditions. Surface water supply for the portions of the City north of the American River is obtained through a contract with the San Juan Water District, and therefore is not a directly owned City supply. The surface water supplies for the City's water service area are listed below.
r I pre-1914 appropriative water right for 22,000 acre-feet per year (Agreement with Reclamation)
. I pre-1914 appropriative water right for 5,000 acre-feet per year (Co-Tenancy agreement with Golden State Water ComPanY)
. { Central Valley Project ("CVP") repayment contract for 7,000 acre-feet per year The City's 22,000 acre-foot entitlement is based on a pre-1914 appropriative right from the South Fork of the American River established by the Natoma Water Company ("Natoma") in 1851. Natoma's original pre-1914 water right established a maximum diversion rate "to fill a Canal Eight feet wide and Four feei deep with a current running Ten miles per hour." This correlates to a diversion rate of 60 cubic feet per second and a maximum allocation of 32,000 afa. This right is held with Golden State Water Company pursuant to a co-tenancy agreement. The City's 5,000 acre-foot entitlement is also based on Natoma's pre-1914 appropriative right from the South Fork of the American River. In Novembet 1994, the City executed a contract with Southern California Water Company-Folsom Division ("SCWC") under which itt" City acquired the right to lease 5,000 afa (of SCWC's remaining 10,000 afa under the original Natoma purchase) for an indefinite period. This right is held with Golden State Water Company pursuant 49 Page 206
11/12/2024 Item No.1.
to a co-tenancy agreement. This water right was also formally recognized in the settlement agreement between Reclamation and the City. As authorized by Public Law No. 101-514, the City was a subcontractor under Sacramento County Water Agency's (SCWA) CVP water-service contract for 7,000 afa. In 2016,the United States, the City and SCWA completed an assignment of this portion of SCWA's CVP water-service contract from SCWA to the City. In February 2020, the City and Reclamation executed a contract that converted the CVP water-service contract into a CVP repayment contract as authorized under the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act.
Under the agreements with Reclamation for 22,000 afa and 5,000 afa, Reclamation delivers this entire water supply without reduction on a perrnanent basis. Under the agreement with Reclamation for 7,000 afa of CVP water, this water supply faces possible reductions pursuant to Reclamation's Municipal and Industrial Water Shortage Policy. In 1994, the City entered into an agreement with Golden State Water Company (f/k/a Southern California Water Company, herein "GSWC") to acquire the right to divert up to 5,000 acre feet of pre-1914 water rights annually (the "GSWC Agreement"), subject to the terms and conditions of that agreement. Under the GSWC Agreement, the City is required to pay for the entire 5,000 acre-feet annual water supply regardless of whether the City is able to divert and use that quantity of water. The City uses the supplies provided in the GSWC Agreement to serve the Folsom Plan Area. The cost of water under the GSWC Agreement is paid for by Folsom Plan Area landowners and water customers.
Source of Water for Folsom PIan Area. The City has determined that its Water Systems Optimization Review Program and implementation of metered rates will provide additional water supplies in an estimated amount of 6,450 acre-feet per year, which is in addition to the present and forecasted demands of the City's existing water users. The City intends to use a portion of this 6,450 acre-feet per year of available water to meet present and future water demand in the East Area in order to make the 5,000 acre-feet per year of GSWC Agreement water supply available for use in the Folsom Plan Area, on the terms and conditions of that Agreement. To meet this intent, the City converted the East Area water supply from the GSWC Agreement to the less expensive CVP repayment contract. The City would meet the additional build-out water demand of the Folsom Plan Area with approximately 600 acre-feet per year of water produced by the Water Systems Optimization Review Program that is in excess of the water demand in the East Area. The water made available under the GSWC Agreement and Water Systems Optimization Review Program will be sufficient to supply the projected water demand in the Folsom Plan Area. Pursuant to the provisions of Sections 860 et seq. of the State Code of Civil Procedure and Government Code Sections 53511 and 53589.5, the City filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State for the County of Sacramento to validate the agreement. The Superior Court determined that the agreement: (a) is lawful, valid, enforceable and in the best interests of the City and all persons in any way interested therein and (b) is consistent with all applicable laws and obligations, including the Measure W water supply requirement.
The City's Community Facilities District No. 2013-1 (Water Facilities and Supply) (the "Water CFD") was formed by the City in 2014. The cost of the GSWC Agreement water will initially be paid for by the Folsom Plan Area through special taxes collected for the Water CFD on certain property in the Folsom Plan Area, including the Improvement Area. When a building permit has been issued and a customer billing account has been established, the developed parcel is no longer subject to the levy of the special tax for the Water CFD and thereafter pays for water through water rates.
Water Conservation The City maintains a five-stage water conservation program with conservation goals and water use restrictions. The City Manager is authorized to implement and enforce whatever conservation measures are deemed necessary to achieve the water reduction requirements of the declared conservation stage.

11/12/2024 Item No.1.
Water Supply Infrastructure. For the first phase of development to occur within the Folsom Plan Area, the developers of the Folsom Plan Area constructed improvements to connect water supply from the north of US Route 50 and extend water infrastructure pipelines (the "Phase 1 Water Facilities").
The Phase I Water Facilities were completed in August 2018. The City estimates the Phase I Water Facilities are adequate for a sustained maximum day demand of up to 2.0 million gallons. A study prepared by Peterson Brustad, Inc. in April 2019 then estimated that water usage would equal or exceed a lustained maximum day demand of up to 2 million gallons when approximately 2,800 to 3,300 dwelling units within the Folsom Plan Area had been occupied. During summer 2021 as a result of high levels of construction activity, the maximum day water demand exceeded 2 million gallons for several days with no service interruption to the water system.
The Phase 2 Water Facilities are required to be constructed to provide expanded water transmission conveyance capabilities to deliver water from the water treatment plant to the Folsom Plan Area. The Phase 2 Water Facilities include (i) the Phase 2 Water Transmission Facilities to be constructed with the proceeds of CFD 18 bonds issued in October 2024, (ii)the Zone 4 Water Facilities (consisting of a zone-specific water tank and booster pump station), and (iii) the Remaining Phase 2 Water Facilities (consisting of another zone-specific water tanks and booster pump station), which will be constructed at a later date.
The City solicited bids for the construction of the Phase 2 Water Transmission Facilities in August 2024 and, in October 2024, approved the award of a construction contract to the contractor submitting the lowest responsive responsible bid based upon a guaranteed maximum price procurement approach. Also in October 2024, CFD 18 issued bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $26,735,000 to help finance the Phase 2 Water Transmission Facilities. The City expects to formally enter into the construction contract for the Phase 2Water Transmission Facilities by the end of Novembet 2024 and that construction of the Phase 2Water Transmission Facilities will commence in the first quarter of 2025 and last approximately 18 months.
The Phase 2 Water Transmission Facilities, when complete, are expected to increase capacity to up a 3.0 million gallon sustained maximum day demand in the Folsom Plan Area (which the City expects will occur when approximately 4,100 dwelling units within the Folsom Plan Area have been occupied)' Following completion of the Phase 2 Water Transmission Facilities, the City anticipates that the Zone 4 Water pacilities will need to be built to provide water to zones 4, 5 and 6 of the Folsom Plan Area when the water facilities for the Folsom Plan Area approach a sustained maximum day demand of 3.0 million gallons. The City expects that an additional series of CFD 18 bonds will be issued to help finance the lone 4 Water Facilities, although the City has not yet determined the timing and amount of this expected issuance.
The timing by which the Remaining Phase 2 Water Facilities will be needed will depend on a variety of factors, including water demand amounts within the Folsom Plan Area, the amount of additional water transmission conveyance capability generated by the Phase 2 Water Transmission Facilities and the Zone 4 Water Facilities, any events impacting the capacity of the existing water infrastructure, and any other factors that increase water demand or decrease water transmission capacity.
As a result, despite the occupancy and water capacity estimates included herein, which are based on water system modeling and analysis conducted by or prepared for the City, the City cannot yet fully predict by when the Remaining Phase 2 Water Facilities will be needed. The City expects to use the proceeds of one or more additional series of CFD 18 bonds to finance all or a portion of the Remaining Phase 2Watet Facilities. However, the timing of issuance of future obligations is dependent upon market conditions and development within the Folsom Plan Area and there can be no assurance that proceeds will be available when needed to timely construct the Remaining Phase 2 Water Facilities. 51 Page 208
11/12/2024 Item No.1.
As of September 30,2024, final maps had been approved and recorded for 4,603 dwelling units within the Folsom Plan Area. Also as of September 30,2024, building permits for 3,871 units and 3,491 certificates of occupancy had been issued in the Folsom Plan Area for projects underway.
The City continues to evaluate water usage and needs within the Folsom Plan Area but there can be no assurance that the construction of the Phase 2Water Facilities will be completed in time to prevent delays to residential and commercial development in the Folsom Plan Area. If the Phase 2 Water Facilities are not constructed in a timely manner, future development in portions of the Folsom Plan Area may be metered, stopped, or the Crty may take other remedial actions, such as implementing water conservation measures to the existing residents, halting discretionary approvals, or taking other actions.
If the Phase 2Water Facilities are not constructed in a timely manner, water pressure to portions of the Folsom Plan Area could be impacted for existing water connections, which could have a negative impact on property values, including within the Improvement Area. Additionally, increased residential water usage approaching the maximum capacity of the current water facilities (including if exacerbated by the Phase 2 Water Facilities not being constructed in a timely fashion) or a reduction in the capacity of the current water facilities could cause the City to consider restricting the continued development of the Folsom Plan Area, including within the Improvement Area. See "CERTAIN RISKS TO BONDHOLDERS-Failure to Develop."
Based on the current stage of planning for the Phase 2 Water Transmission Facilities, the development stage and planned development timeline for the Improvement Area as described in this Official Statement, and the available water facilities servicing the Improvement Area, the City does not expect to impose restrictions on continued development of the Improvement Area. However, multiple other development projects are underway in the Folsom Plan Area, and if there were an unforeseen and significant delay in construction in the Improvement Area it is possible that other development within the Folsom Plan Area will overtake development of the Improvement Area, resulting in the need for the City to take some or all of the actions described in the preceding paragraph.
To help alleviate the demand on the current water facilities, certain developers within the Folsom Plan Area have made alrangements to obtain construction water from the El Dorado Irrigation District ("EID"), an alternative water provider that has existing facilities adjacent to the Folsom Plan Area. For instance, Lennar Homes has previously received construction water from EID for portions of its Russell Ranch project. Such arrangements augment, but do not replace, the need for and the use of City water, which is currently provided through the Phase I Water Facilities. Due to such altemative arrangements for construction water and the amount of development that has already occurred in the Folsom Plan Area, the City does not expect that the demand for construction water will reach 2021 levels in coming years.
Wastewater Treatment. The Sacramento Area Sewer District has an existing wastewater treatment plant with its ongoing and permitted improvement projects projected to accommodate all wastewatei from development in the Folsom Plan Area. Existing sewer transmission mains are capable of conveying wastewater from the Folsom Plan Area and initial development sites (including the Improvement Area) to the existing treatment plant. Developers of property within the Folsom Plan Area will need to extend infrastrucfure to their sites and pay appropriate connection fees for access to the existing wastewater infrastructure.
Flood Zones. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency flood map, the Improvement Area is in Zone X, which consists of areas determined to be outside of the 500-year flood plain.
Fire Zones. The Improvement Area is located within an area identified as a moderate ftehazatd severity zone. More information regarding Fire Hazard Severity Zones can be found at the California 52 Page 209
11/12/2024 Item No.1.
Department of Forestry and Fire Protection website at https://frap.fire.ca.gov, though such website is not incorporated herein by reference. The development within the Improvement Area is subject to mitigation measures set forth in a fuel modification plan approved by the City Fire Department. The mitigation measures include, among others, limitations on the type of vegetation that may be planted within fuel modification zones established in open space areas along certain portions of the perimeter of the Improvement Area, minimum setback of structures and irrigation requirements of the fuel modification zones. Maintenance of such zones is expected to initially be the responsibility of the property owners but upon build-out of the Improvement Area and dedication of the open space to the City will be maintained by the City from funds provided through CFD 18. Homeowner's insurance is expected to be available to property owners within the Improvement Area, and the coverage provided by such insurance typically insures against fire damage, although there is no assurance that homeowners within the Improvement Area will purchase or maintain such insurance.
Drought Conditions and Construction Water Usage. In response to drought conditions in 2021, the City imposed a state mandated 20o/o red:uction in water use on its water customers. In addition, use of City water for construction purposes required City approval. At the time, the City allowed construction within the Folsom Plan Area to proceed, including the use of City water. The City rescinded this requirement in June 2023. However, if prolonged drought conditions return, this could result in mandatory reductions in water usage that may adversely impact the ability of builders within the Improvement Area to develop the Improvement Area in the timeline described in this Official Statement.
To help alleviate the demand on the current water facilities, certain developers within the Folsom Plan Area have made arrangements to obtain construction water from the El Dorado Irrigation District ("EID"), an alternative water provider that has existing facilities adjacent to the Folsom Plan Area. For instance, Lennar Homes has previously received construction water from EID for portions of its Russell Ranch project. Such arrangements augment, but do not replace, the need for and the use of City water, which is currently provided through the Phase 1 Water Facilities. Due to such alternative arrangements for construction water and the amount of development that has already occurred in the Folsom Plan Area, the City does not expect that the demand for construction water will reach 2021 levels in coming years.
A-ffordable Housing. All residential projects receiving funding assistance from the City or otherwise with ten or more units within the Folsom Plan Area must comply with the City's inclusionary housing ordinance, which requires that ten percent of the units built consist of inclusionary housing units.
Residential project developers may satisff this requirement by the payment of an in-lieu fee. In addition, the City entered into a memorandum of understanding with landowners within the Folsom Plan Area whereby the landowners committed to deed-restrict certain lots for the development of 890 units affordable to lower-income households.
Taylor Morrison is satisffing the City's inclusionary housing requirement for its properties within the Improvement Area by payment of an in-lieu fee to the City concurrent with their pulling of building permits. The remaining portion of the Taxable Property within the Improvement Area owned by Folsom Real Estate South is also subject to the City's inclusionary housing requirement, which has not yet been satisfied.
Utilities. All typical urban utility services for finished lots will be extended to the lots. These utilities include electric power, natural gas, telephone, cable television, water, refuse, and sanitary sewer and storm water facilities. The City provides water, sewer, refuse and storm water facilities, and police and fire services. Pacific Gas & Electric provides natural gas and the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) provides electric service. Comcast provides cable service. 53 Page 210
11/12/2024 Item No.1.
Specific Plan Infrastructure Fee Credits and Improvements. The SPIF is administered by the City for the purposes of collecting impact fees for plan area wide improvements for the construction of roadways, water, sewer, drainage, dry utilities, recycled water and habitat mitigation in the Folsom Plan Area. The purpose of the SPIF is to require each landowner to pay its fair share of Folsom Plan Area area-wide improvements and to be reimbursed for any amount expended in excess of a landowner's fair share requirement. Under the terms of the SPIF Ordinance adopted by the City, property owners in the Folsom Plan Area will be eligible to enter into an agreement with the City and receive future reimbursements (that are convertible to fee credits for use within the owner's property) in exchange for the construction of eligible SPIF improvements. Based on the amount of improvements eligible for SPIF reimbursement, all of the properties within the Improvement Area are anticipated to fully cover their SPIF obligations through the conversion of these SPIF reimbursements to SPIF fee credits. After applying the SPIF reimbursements as SPIF fee credits to all properties in the Improvement Area, all amounts expended in excess of the project's SPIF obligation are expected to be reimbursed from the City as other SPIF fees are collected in the Folsom Plan Area.
Within the Folsom Plan Area, initial development will be required to pay a "SPIF Set-Aside" component to address initial water and sewer facility costs. This is a loan of SPIF collections to help the cash flow for the initial water and sewer costs. It will be repaid or equalized to all properties through the SPIF program as well as through CFD 18. The SPIF Set-Aside will apply to the first 2,500 Folsom Plan Area dwelling units that would be subject to the SPIF. A portion of the SPIF will be required to be paid regardless of whether a developer/property owner has advance-funded eligible SPIF infrastructure and has executed a Fee Reimbursement Agreement through the City. An exception to this rule is that a property owner who constructs certain water or sewer infrastructure for which the SPIF Set-Aside is being collected may take a credit against the SPIF Set-Aside.
In addition, in August 2020,the City approved an ordinance amending certain provisions of the SPIF ordinance to include a new SPIF - Offsite Water Set-Aside. This new SPIF - Offsite Water Set- Aside will be payable at the building permit stage and will not be eligible to be offset by fee credits.
