TO: Finance Committee
PREPARED BY: Lauri Lockwood, Financial Analyst
REVIEWED BY: Travis Hickey, Chief Financial Officer
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Review the changes proposed for Community Facilities District No. 2025-4, Heritage Village, to amend the financing plan for certain public improvements within the proposed 162-unit townhome development and recommend submittal to the City Council for consideration.
DISCUSSION
Lennar Homes has approved plans for Heritage Village, a project that includes 162 townhomes on 7.52 acres located west of Menifee Road and north of Rouse Road within the City. On April 2, 2025, the City Council approved Resolution 25-1559 establishing Community Facilities District 2025-4, Heritage Village, (“CFD 2025-4” or “the CFD”) and in May 2025 the City Council approved Ordinance 2025-410 authorizing the levy of special taxes within CFD 2025-4.
Lennar is now requesting that the City revise the financing plan to incorporate Romoland School District fees into the list of approved facilities to be financed with bond proceeds.
When the district was formed last year, it did not appear that there would be enough bond proceeds to cover the cost of school district fees. Since then, however, it was discovered that the cost estimates used to determine the bonding capacity were inaccurate. The fee estimates for both the City and Eastern Municipal Water District (“EMWD”) were based on costs for single- family homes rather than the multifamily homes planned for this project. The multifamily home rates for both agencies are lower than those for single-family homes. This reduction in City and EMWD fees means that bond proceeds could be used to finance a significant portion of school fees.
There are no proposed changes to the size and mix of homes, nor the assigned special taxes.

The effective tax rate would be reduced slightly, only as a factor of anticipated home sale prices increasing since the district was formed last year.
If the requested change is approved, a Joint Community Facilities Agreement with Romoland School District would be brought back to City Council for review.

Public Hearing Report
The Rate and Method of Apportionment allows each property owner within CFD No. 2025-4 to estimate the annual Special Tax amount that would be required for payment. The Rate and Method of Apportionment of the Special Tax established pursuant to these proceedings, is attached hereto as Appendix A (the “Rate and Method”). The Special Tax will be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes and shall be subject to the same penalties, the same procedure, sale and lien priority in the case of delinquency; provided, however, that the CFD Administrator may directly bill the Special Taxes, may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet the financial obligations of CFD No. 2025-4, and provided further that CFD No. 2025-4 may covenant to foreclose and may actually foreclose on parcels having delinquent Special Taxes as permitted by the Act.
All of the property located within CFD No. 2025-4, unless exempted by law or by the Rate and Method proposed for CFD No. 2025-4, shall be taxed for the purpose of providing necessary facilities to serve the District. The Boundary Map for CFD No. 2025-4 is attached hereto as Appendix B. Pursuant to Section 53325.3 of the Act, the tax imposed “is a Special Tax and not a special assessment, and there is no requirement that the tax be apportioned on the basis of benefit to any property.” The Special Tax may be based on the benefit received by property, the co st of making facilities or authorized services available or other reasonable basis as determined by the City, although the Special Tax may not be apportioned on an ad valorem basis pursuant to Articl e XIIIA of the California Constitution. A property owner within the District may choose to prepay in whole or in part the Special Tax. The available method for so doing is described in Section G of the Rate and Method (“Prepayment of Special Tax”).
For each year that any Bonds are outstanding the Special Tax shall be levied on all parcels subject to the Special Tax. If any delinquent Special Taxes remain uncollected prior to or after all Bonds are retired, the Special Tax may be levied to the extent necessary to reimburse CFD No. 2025-4 for uncollected Special Taxes associated with the levy of such Special Taxes, but the Special Tax shall not be levied after 2070-71 Fiscal Year.

the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the Prepayment Amount.
11. Add the amounts derived pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount derived pursuant to paragraph 10 (the “Defeasance Amount”).
12. Verify the administrative fees and expenses of the CFD, the cost to invest the Prepayment Amount, the cost of redeeming the Outstanding Bonds, and the cost of recording notices to evidence the prepayment of the Special Tax obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel and the redemption of Outstanding Bonds (the “Administrative Fees and Expenses”).
13. The reserve fund credit (the “Reserve Fund Credit”) shall equal the lesser of: (a) the expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any, associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.

6. Determine the Future Facilities Costs.
7. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 6 to determine the amount of Future Facilities Costs for the Assessor’s Parcel (the “Future Facilities Amount”).

9. Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Assessor’s Parcel in the current Fiscal Year that have not yet been paid.
10. Determine the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the investment of the Bond Redemption Amount and the Redemption Premium from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the Prepayment Amount.
11. Add the amounts derived pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount derived pursuant to paragraph 10 (the “Defeasance Amount”).
12. Verify the administrative fees and expenses of the CFD, the cost to invest the Prepayment Amount, the cost of redeeming the Outstanding Bonds, and the cost of recording notices to evidence the prepayment of the Special Tax obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel and the redemption of Outstanding Bonds (the “Administrative Fees and Expenses”).
13. The reserve fund credit (the “Reserve Fund Credit”) shall equal the lesser of: (a) the expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any, associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.
14. The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, the Future Facilities Amount, the Defeasance Amount and the Administrative Fees and Expenses, less the Reserve Fund Credit.
15. From the Prepayment Amount, the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption Premium, and Defeasance Amount shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the Indenture and be used to redeem Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments.
The Future Facilities Amount shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The Administrative Fees and Expenses shall be retained by the CFD.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of Bonds.
In such event, the increment above $5,000 or an integral multiple thereof will be retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next redemption from other Special Tax prepayments of Outstanding Bonds or to make debt service payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy as determined pursuant to paragraph 9 above, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy for the Assessor’s Parcel from the County tax roll. With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel for which the Special Tax obligation is prepaid, the City Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Special Tax obligation and the release of the Special Tax lien for the Assessor’s Parcel, and the obligation to pay the Special Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the amount of Maximum Special Tax that may be levied on all Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property after the proposed prepayment will be at least 1.1 times maximum annual debt service on the Bonds that will remain outstanding after the prepayment plus the estimated annual Administrative Expenses.

Tenders of Bonds in prepayment of the Special Tax obligation may be accepted upon the terms and conditions established by the City Council pursuant to the Act. However, the use of Bond tenders shall only be allowed on a case-by-case basis as specifically approved by the City Council.
2. Prepayment in Part
The Special Tax obligation for an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, Approved Property, Undeveloped Property, or Provisional Undeveloped Property may be partially prepaid. For purposes of determining the Partial Prepayment Amount, the provisions of Section G.1 shall be modified as provided by the following formula:
PP = ((PE – A) x F) + A
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = Partial Prepayment Amount
PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section G.1 F = the percent by which the owner of the Assessor’s Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the Special Tax obligation
A = the Administrative Fees and Expenses determined pursuant to Section G.1 The owner of an Assessor’s Parcel who desires to partially prepay the Special Tax obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner’s intent to partially prepay the Special Tax obligation, (ii) the percentage of the Special Tax obligation such owner wishes to prepay, and (iii) the company or agency that will be acting as the escrow agent, if any. Within 5 days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such property owner of the amount of the non- refundable deposit determined to cover the cost to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the Partial Prepayment Amount. Within 15 business days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the amount of the Partial Prepayment Amount for the Assessor’s Parcel. A Partial Prepayment Amount must be made not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Partial Prepayment Amount.
With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel for which the Special Tax obligation is partially prepaid, the CFD Administrator shall (i) distribute the Partial Prepayment Amount as provided in Paragraph 15 of Section G.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of the CFD that there has been a partial prepayment for the Assessor’s Parcel and that a portion of the Special Tax obligation equal to the remaining percentage (1.00 - F) of the applicable Special Tax will continue to be levied on the Assessor’s Parcel pursuant to Section E.
H. TERMINATION OF SPECIAL TAX
For each Fiscal Year that any Bonds are outstanding the Special Tax shall be levied on all Assessor’s Parcels subject to the Special Tax pursuant to Section E. The Special Tax shall cease not later than the 2070-2071 Fiscal Year, however, Special Taxes will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD Administrator has determined (i) that all the required interest and principal payments on the CFD No. 2025-4 Bonds have been paid; (ii) all authorized facilities of CFD No. 2025-4 have been acquired and all reimbursements to the developer have been paid, (iii) no delinquent Special Taxes remain uncollected and (iv) all other obligations of CFD No. 2025-4 have been satisfied.
I. MANNER OF COLLECTION
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes, provided, however, that CFD No. 2025-4 may collect Special Taxes at a different time Item: 6.1
Item Page Number: 55

or in a different manner if necessary to meet its financial obligations, and may covenant to foreclose and may actually foreclose on delinquent Assessor’s Parcels as permitted by the Act.
J. APPEALS OF SPECIAL TAXES
Any taxpayer may file a written appeal of the Special Taxes levied on his/her Assessor’s Parcel(s) with the CFD Administrator, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes.
During pendency of an appeal, all Special Taxes previously levied must be paid on or before the payment date established when the levy was made. The appeal must specify the reasons why the appellant claims the Special Tax is in error. The CFD Administrator shall review the appeal, meet with the appellant if the CFD Administrator deems necessary, and advise the appellant of its determination.
If the CFD Administrator agrees with the appellant, the CFD Administrator shall grant a credit to eliminate or reduce future Special Taxes on the appellant’s Assessor’s Parcel(s). No refunds of previously paid Special Taxes shall be made unless approved by the CFD Administrator.
The CFD Administrator shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment and make determinations relative to the annual levy and administration of the Special Taxes and any taxpayer who appeals, as herein specified.

RE: Request for Amendment of CFD No. 2025-4 (Heritage Village)
Dear Ms. Lockwood,
On behalf of Lennar Homes (“Developer”), we are requesting the City of Menifee (“City”) to amend CFD No. 2025-4 (Heritage Village) (“CFD”) to authorize the financing th e of Romoland School District (“School District”) facilities th rough a JCFA . At the time of CFD formation, the Developer expected Eastern Municipal Water District (“EMWD”) fees to be substantially more . However, due to changes in metering plans the total EMWD fees for the project are now significantly less. As a result, there is additional capacity for funding School District fees.
The attached Exhibit A shows the existing CFD special tax rates under the existing RMA, with the addition of funding school fees under the proposed School District JCFA . There are no other proposed changes to the current CFD special taxes or tax classes , nor the funding amounts allocated to the City because of this proposed amendment. The attached Exhibit B details the total estimated funding for each agency with the addition of the School District JCFA.
We appreciate your consideration of this request and look forward to working with the City team to amend the CFD to authorize school facilities. If you have any questions, please contact me at (949) 542- 7072.
Sincerely,
John Zimmerman

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Proposed Bond Issuance for Community Facilities District No. 2024-1, Banner Park II
MEETING DATE: January 13, 2026
TO: Finance Committee
PREPARED BY: Lauri Lockwood, Financial Analyst
REVIEWED BY: Travis Hickey, Chief Financial Officer
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Review the proposed bond issuance request for Community Facilities District (“CFD”) No. 2024-1, Banner Park II by Pulte Home Co., LLC, to finance the costs of certain public improvements in connection with the development of 182 homes in a community located southeast of Domenigoni Parkway at Lindenberger Road within the City of Menifee (the “City”); and
2. Recommend the Finance Department proceed with the preparation of the Official Statement and other legal documents related to the transaction for presentation to the City Council.
DISCUSSION
Pulte Home Co., LLC, (the “Developer”) owns a residential tract approved for 182 homes within the City. In December 2025, the Developer requested that the City proceed with issuing bonds for CFD No. 2024-1, Banner Park II, (the “Development”) to finance eligible public facilities.
As of mid-December 2025, building permits have been issued for 128 homes. Of these, 65 homes have closed escrow, and 34 homes are sold and currently in escrow. The proposed Series 1 bond issuance for CFD No. 2024-1 is based on 119 homes. According to the City’s tax consultant, Spicer Consulting Group, approximately $6.36 million in bonds could be issued.
A preliminary bond analysis prepared by Spicer Consulting reviewed valuation, delinquency history and effective tax rate to assess the viability of the issuance. The Development demonstrates a strong value-to-lien ratio of 12.25:1 -- which is substantially higher than the City’s policy threshold of 4:1 -- and an estimated average tax rate of 1.9%, which is less than the City’s 2% limit. Because CFD taxes were first levied in Fiscal Year 2025/2026, no delinquencies were reported at the time of the analysis in mid-December.
