plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
less Capitalized Interest Credit
Total: equals Special Tax Prepayment Amount
The Prepayment Amount shall be determined as of the proposed prepayment date as follows:
1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor’s Parcel.
2. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Final Mapped Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the Building Permit which has been issued for the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Final Mapped Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued, Public Property or Property Owner’s Association Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel.
3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax derived pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total amount of Special Taxes that could be levied at the Maximum Special Tax at build out of all Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property based on the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property not including any Assessor’s Parcels for which the Special Tax obligation has been previously prepaid.
4. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds to determine the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the Prepayment Amount (the “Bond Redemption Amount”).
5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”).
6. Determine the Future Facilities Cost.
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, which amount shall not be less than $0 (the “Future Facilities Amount”).
8. Determine the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the first bond interest payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds on which Bonds can be redeemed from the Prepayment Amount.
9. Determine the Special Tax levied on the Assessor’s Parcel in the current Fiscal Year which has not yet been paid.
10. Determine the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive Exhibit B
11 Rate and Method of Apportionment
CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) (Beechwood - Facilities)
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 CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2), including the cost of computation of the Prepayment Amount, 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 Maximum 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 Amount, 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 Amount from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.
14. If any capitalized interest for the Outstanding Bonds will not have been expended at the time of the first interest payment following the current Fiscal Year, the capitalized interest credit (the “Capitalized Interest Credit”) shall be calculated by multiplying the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest account after such first interest payment.
15. 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, less the Capitalized Interest Credit.
16. 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 CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2).
The Prepayment Amount may not be sufficient to redeem an aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Bonds which is equally divisible by $5,000. 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 Maximum Special Tax obligation is Exhibit B
12 Rate and Method of Apportionment
CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) (Beechwood - Facilities)
prepaid, the Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Maximum 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.
G.2 Prepayment in Part
The Maximum Special Tax obligation for (i) Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property, (ii) Assessor’s Parcels of Final Mapped Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, (iii) Assessor’s Parcels of Final Mapped Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued; and (iv) Assessor’s Parcels of Public Property or Property Owner’s Association Property that are not exempt pursuant to Section E, 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 = The partial prepayment;
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; and
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 Maximum Special Tax obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner’s intent to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation, (ii) the percentage of the Maximum 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 CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) in calculating the amount of a partial prepayment. 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 for the Assessor’s Parcel. A Partial Prepayment 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 Maximum Special Tax obligation is partially prepaid, the CFD Administrator shall (i) distribute the Partial Prepayment Amount as provided in Paragraph 16 of Section G.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) 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 Exhibit B
13 Rate and Method of Apportionment

percentage (1.00 - F) of Special Tax obligation will continue on the Assessor’s Parcel pursuant to Section D.
H SPECIAL TAX REDUCTION
The following definitions apply to this Section H:
"Base Price" means the minimum price at which Dwelling Units within a given Plan Type have sold or are expected to be sold in a normal marketing environment and shall not include prices of such Dwelling Units that are sold at a discount to expected sales prices for the purpose of stimulating the initial sales activity with respect to such Plan Type. If such information is not available, means the base price of such Dwelling Units, estimated by an MAI Appraiser or Price Point Consultant as of such date, based upon their actual or expected characteristics, such as living area, view, or lot size, but excluding potential appreciation or premiums, options or upgrades. "Plan Type" means a discrete residential plan type generally consisting of residential Dwelling Units that share a common product type (e.g., detached, attached) and that have nearly identical amounts of living area, that is constructed or expected to be constructed within CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) or the surrounding area as identified in the appraisal or Price Point Study.
"Price Point Consultant" means any consultant or firm of such consultants selected by CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) that (a) has substantial experience in performing price point studies or otherwise estimating or confirming pricing for Dwelling Units within community facilities districts, (b) is well versed in analyzing economic and real estate data that relates to the pricing of Dwelling Units in community facilities districts, (c) is independent and not under the control of CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2), the City, or the developer, (d) does not have any substantial interest, direct or indirect, with or in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2), the City, any owner of real property in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2), or any real property in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2), and (e) is not connected with CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) or the City as an officer or employee thereof, but who may be regularly retained to make reports to CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) or the County. "Price Point Study" means a price point study or a letter updating a previous price point study, which (a) has been prepared by the Price Point Consultant, (b) sets forth the Plan Types constructed or expected to be constructed within CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2), (c) sets forth the estimated number of constructed and expected Dwelling Units for each Plan Type, (d) sets forth estimates of the Base Price for each Plan Type and (e) uses a date for establishing such Base Prices that is no earlier than 30 days prior to the date the Price Point Study is delivered to the CFD Administrator pursuant to Section H herein.

"Total Tax Burden” means, with respect to a Plan Type, for the Fiscal Year for which the calculation is being performed, the sum of the Assigned Special Tax and estimated ad valorem property taxes, special assessments, special taxes for any overlapping community facilities districts, and any other governmental taxes, fees and charges levied or imposed on Dwelling Units of such Plan Type in CFD No. 2026- Exhibit B
14 Rate and Method of Apportionment
CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) (Beechwood - Facilities)
1 (IA No. 2) in such Fiscal Year or that would have been levied on all such Dwelling Units had these Dwelling Units been subject to such levies (excluding homeowner’s association dues and Property Assessed Clean Energy (“PACE”) charges imposed pursuant to AB 811 or SB 555, that are levied on individual Assessor’s Parcels, or any other charges applicable to the Assessor’s Parcels initiated by the homeowner after the close of escrow).
At least 30 days prior to the issuance of the first series of Bonds, the following steps shall be taken for each Land Use Class of for-sale Residential Property in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) for evaluating the Special Tax:
Step No.:
1. The CFD Administrator shall determine whether or not the Total Effective Tax Rate for all Plan Types in a Land Use Class is less than or equal to the Total Effective Tax Rate Limit for each Land Use Class of for-sale Residential Property in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2).
a. If the Total Effective Tax Rate for all Plan Types in a Land Use Class in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) is less than or equal to the Total Effective Tax Rate Limit, then there shall be no reduction in Special Tax for such Land Use Class in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2).
b. If the Total Effective Tax Rate for any Plan Type in a Land Use Class in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) is greater than the Total Effective Tax Rate Limit , the CFD Administrator shall calculate a revised Assigned Special Tax for that Land Use Class in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2), such that the revised Assigned Special Tax does not cause the Total Effective Tax Rate for any Plan Type in such Land Use Class to exceed the Total Effective Tax Rate Limit.
2. If the Assigned Special Tax for any Land Use Class is revised pursuant to step
1.b. above, the CFD Administrator shall also prepare and execute a Certificate to Amend the Special Tax substantially in the form of Exhibit “A” hereto and shall deliver such Certificate to Amend the Special Tax to CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2). The Certificate to Amend the Special Tax shall be completed for all Land Use Classes and shall set forth, as applicable, either (i) the reduced Assigned Special Tax for a Land Use Class as calculated pursuant to step 1.b., or (ii) the Assigned Special Tax as identified in Table 1 of Section C for a Land Use Class that was not revised as determined pursuant to step 1.a. A reduction to the Assigned Special Tax in one Land Use Class shall not require a reduction in any other Land Use Class.
3. If the anticipated date of issuance of Bonds is within 180 days of the date of receipt of the Price Point Study by the CFD Administrator, CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) shall execute the acknowledgement on such Certificate to Amend the Special Tax dated as of the closing date of such Bonds, and upon the closing of such Bonds, the Assigned Special Tax for each Land Use Class shall be as set forth in such Certificate to Amend the Special Tax. If the date of issuance of Bonds is not within 180 days of the date of receipt of the Price Point Study by the CFD Administrator, such Certificate to Amend the Special Tax shall not be acknowledged by CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) and shall, as of such date, be Exhibit B
15 Rate and Method of Apportionment
CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) (Beechwood - Facilities)
void and of no further force and effect. In such case, if subsequently Bonds are expected to be issued, at least 30 days prior to that expected date, steps 1 and 2 of this section shall be performed based on a new Price Point Study.
4. After the execution by CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) of the acknowledgement on the Certificate to Amend the Special Tax, CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) shall cause to be recorded in the records of the County Recorder an Amended Notice of Special Tax Lien for CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) reflecting the Assigned Special Tax for CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) set forth in such Certificate to Amend the Special Tax.
5. If the Assigned Special Tax is not required to be changed for any Land Use Class based on the calculations performed under step 1 above, there shall be no reduction in the Assigned Special Tax and no Certificate to Amend the Special Tax shall be required.
I MANNER OF COLLECTION
The Special Tax will be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect the Special Tax at a different time 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 TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
The Special Taxes shall be levied until the final series of Bonds have matured, provided that the Special Taxes shall not be levied after Fiscal Year 2074-2075. The Special Taxes will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD Administrator has determined that all required interest and principal payments on the Bonds have been paid, no delinquent Special Taxes remain uncollected, and the City has covenanted that it will not issue any more Bonds (other than refunding Bonds) to be supported by Special Taxes levied under this Rate and Method of Apportionment as described in Section D.

The CFD Administrator’s allocation to each type of property shall be final.
D APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Commencing with Fiscal Year 2025-2026 and for each following Fiscal Year, the Council shall determine the Special Tax Requirement and shall levy the Special Tax until the total Special Tax levy equals the Special Tax Requirement. The Special Tax shall be levied each Fiscal Year as follows:
First: The Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property up to 100% of the applicable Assigned Special Tax to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Second: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first step has been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Final Mapped Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Third: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first two steps have been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Fourth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first three steps have been completed, the Special Tax on each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property whose Maximum Special Tax is the Backup Special Tax shall be increased Proportionately from the Assigned Special Tax up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Fifth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first four steps have been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Taxable Property Owner Association Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Exhibit A
8 Rate and Method of Apportionment
CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) (Beechwood - Facilities)
Sixth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first five steps have been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Taxable Public Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Taxes levied in any Fiscal Year against any Assessor’s Parcel of Residential Property as a result of a delinquency in the payment of the Special Tax applicable to any other Assessor’s Parcel be increased by more than 10% above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there never been any such delinquency or default.
E EXEMPTIONS
No Special Tax shall be levied on Acres of Property Owner Association Property or Public Property in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) provided that an Assessor’s Parcel shall not be exempt and shall be classified as Taxable Property Owner Association Property and Taxable Public Property if exempting such property would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to less than 19.02 Acres. Tax-exempt status will be assigned by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order in which such Assessor’s Parcels or portions thereof within CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) become Public Property or Property Owner Association Property.
However, should an Assessor’s Parcel no longer be classified as Public Property or Property Owner Association Property, it will, from that point forward, be subject to the Special Tax.
Property Owner Association Property or Public Property that is not exempt from the Special Tax under this section shall be subject to the levy of the Special Tax and shall be taxed Proportionately as part of the fifth step and sixth step in Section D above, respectively, at up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Taxable Property Owner Association Property or Taxable Public Property.
In addition, no Special Tax shall be levied on any Assessor’s Parcel in any Fiscal Year in which such Assessor’s Parcel is classified as Exempt Welfare Exemption Property.
F APPEALS AND INTERPRETATIONS
Any taxpayer may file a written appeal of the Special Tax on his/her property with the CFD Administrator, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes.
During the 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 eliminate or reduce the Special Tax on the appellant’s property.
If the CFD Administrator disagrees with the appellant and the appellant is dissatisfied with the determination, the appellant then has 30 days in which to appeal to the Council by filing a written notice of appeal with the clerk of the Council, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes. The second appeal must specify the reasons for the disagreement with the CFD Administrator’s determination.
Interpretations may be made by the Council by ordinance or resolution for purposes of clarifying any vagueness or ambiguity in this Rate and Method of Apportionment.

Total: equals Special Tax Prepayment Amount
The Prepayment Amount shall be determined as of the proposed prepayment date as follows:
1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor’s Parcel.
2. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Final Mapped Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the Building Permit which has been issued for the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Final Mapped Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued, Public Property or Property Owner’s Association Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel.
3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax derived pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total amount of Special Taxes that could be levied at the Maximum Special Tax at build out of all Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property based on the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property not including any Assessor’s Parcels for which the Special Tax obligation has been previously prepaid.
4. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds to determine the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the Prepayment Amount (the “Bond Redemption Amount”).
5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”).
6. Determine the Future Facilities Cost.
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, which amount shall not be less than $0 (the “Future Facilities Amount”).
8. Determine the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the first bond interest payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds on which Bonds can be redeemed from the Prepayment Amount.
9. Determine the Special Tax levied on the Assessor’s Parcel in the current Fiscal Year which has not yet been paid.
10. Determine the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive Exhibit A
11 Rate and Method of Apportionment
CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) (Beechwood - Facilities)
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 CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1), including the cost of computation of the Prepayment Amount, 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 Maximum 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 Amount, 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 Amount from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.
14. If any capitalized interest for the Outstanding Bonds will not have been expended at the time of the first interest payment following the current Fiscal Year, the capitalized interest credit (the “Capitalized Interest Credit”) shall be calculated by multiplying the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest account after such first interest payment.
15. 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, less the Capitalized Interest Credit.
16. 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 CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1).
The Prepayment Amount may not be sufficient to redeem an aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Bonds which is equally divisible by $5,000. 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 Maximum Special Tax obligation is Exhibit A
12 Rate and Method of Apportionment
CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) (Beechwood - Facilities)
prepaid, the Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Maximum 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.

1. The CFD Administrator shall determine whether or not the Total Effective Tax Rate for all Plan Types in a Land Use Class is less than or equal to the Total Effective Tax Rate Limit for each Land Use Class of for-sale Residential Property in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1).
a. If the Total Effective Tax Rate for all Plan Types in a Land Use Class in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) is less than or equal to the Total Effective Tax Rate Limit, then there shall be no reduction in Special Tax for such Land Use Class in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1).
b. If the Total Effective Tax Rate for any Plan Type in a Land Use Class in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) is greater than the Total Effective Tax Rate Limit , the CFD Administrator shall calculate a revised Assigned Special Tax for that Land Use Class in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1), such that the revised Assigned Special Tax does not cause the Total Effective Tax Rate for any Plan Type in such Land Use Class to exceed the Total Effective Tax Rate Limit.
2. If the Assigned Special Tax for any Land Use Class is revised pursuant to step
1.b. above, the CFD Administrator shall also prepare and execute a Certificate to Amend the Special Tax substantially in the form of Exhibit “A” hereto and shall deliver such Certificate to Amend the Special Tax to CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1). The Certificate to Amend the Special Tax shall be completed for all Land Use Classes and shall set forth, as applicable, either (i) the reduced Assigned Special Tax for a Land Use Class as calculated pursuant to step 1.b., or (ii) the Assigned Special Tax as identified in Table 1 of Section C for a Land Use Class that was not revised as determined pursuant to step 1.a. A reduction to the Assigned Special Tax in one Land Use Class shall not require a reduction in any other Land Use Class.
3. If the anticipated date of issuance of Bonds is within 180 days of the date of receipt of the Price Point Study by the CFD Administrator, CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) shall execute the acknowledgement on such Certificate to Amend the Special Tax dated as of the closing date of such Bonds, and upon the closing of such Bonds, the Assigned Special Tax for each Land Use Class shall be as set forth in such Certificate to Amend the Special Tax. If the date of issuance of Bonds is not within 180 days of the date of receipt of the Price Point Study by the CFD Administrator, such Certificate to Amend the Special Tax shall not be acknowledged by CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) and shall, as of such date, be Exhibit A
15 Rate and Method of Apportionment
CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) (Beechwood - Facilities)
void and of no further force and effect. In such case, if subsequently Bonds are expected to be issued, at least 30 days prior to that expected date, steps 1 and 2 of this section shall be performed based on a new Price Point Study.
4. After the execution by CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) of the acknowledgement on the Certificate to Amend the Special Tax, CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) shall cause to be recorded in the records of the County Recorder an Amended Notice of Special Tax Lien for CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) reflecting the Assigned Special Tax for CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) set forth in such Certificate to Amend the Special Tax.
5. If the Assigned Special Tax is not required to be changed for any Land Use Class based on the calculations performed under step 1 above, there shall be no reduction in the Assigned Special Tax and no Certificate to Amend the Special Tax shall be required.
I MANNER OF COLLECTION
The Special Tax will be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect the Special Tax at a different time 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 TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
The Special Taxes shall be levied until the final series of Bonds have matured, provided that the Special Taxes shall not be levied after Fiscal Year 2074-2075. The Special Taxes will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD Administrator has determined that all required interest and principal payments on the Bonds have been paid, no delinquent Special Taxes remain uncollected, and the City has covenanted that it will not issue any more Bonds (other than refunding Bonds) to be supported by Special Taxes levied under this Rate and Method of Apportionment as described in Section D.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of a Final Map is subsequently changed or modified, then the Backup Special Tax for each Assessor’s Parcel of Residential Property in such Final Map, or the portion thereof that is changed or modified, shall be a rate per Acre calculated as follows:

C.4 Multiple Land Use Classes
In some instances, an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property may contain more than one Land Use Class. The annual Maximum Special Taxes levied on an Assessor’s Parcel shall be the sum of the Maximum Special Taxes for all Land Use Classes located on that Assessor’s Parcel. If an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property includes Non-Residential Property, the Acreage to be assigned to such property for purposes of establishing the Special Tax shall be an amount proportional to the Total Floor Area associated with Non-Residential Property, as applicable. Furthermore, for a condominium plan, if only a portion of its Building Permits have been issued, the remaining portion of the condominium plan shall be considered Final Mapped Property. The CFD Administrator’s allocation to each type of property shall be final.
D APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Commencing with Fiscal Year 2025-2026 and for each following Fiscal Year, the Council shall determine the Special Tax Requirement and shall levy the Special Tax until the total Special Tax levy equals the Special Tax Requirement. The Special Tax shall be levied each Fiscal Year as follows:
First: The Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property up to 100% of the applicable Assigned Special Tax to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Second: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first step has been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Final Mapped Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Third: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first two steps have been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Fourth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first three steps have been completed, the Special Tax on each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property whose Maximum Special Tax is the Backup Special Tax shall be increased Proportionately from the Assigned Special Tax up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Fifth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first four steps have been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Taxable Property Owner Association Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Exhibit A
8 Rate and Method of Apportionment
CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) (Beechwood - Facilities)
Sixth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first five steps have been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Taxable Public Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Taxes levied in any Fiscal Year against any Assessor’s Parcel of Residential Property as a result of a delinquency in the payment of the Special Tax applicable to any other Assessor’s Parcel be increased by more than 10% above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there never been any such delinquency or default.
E EXEMPTIONS
No Special Tax shall be levied on Acres of Property Owner Association Property or Public Property in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) provided that an Assessor’s Parcel shall not be exempt and shall be classified as Taxable Property Owner Association Property and Taxable Public Property if exempting such property would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to less than 18.17 Acres. Tax-exempt status will be assigned by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order in which such Assessor’s Parcels or portions thereof within CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) become Public Property or Property Owner Association Property.
However, should an Assessor’s Parcel no longer be classified as Public Property or Property Owner Association Property, it will, from that point forward, be subject to the Special Tax.
Property Owner Association Property or Public Property that is not exempt from the Special Tax under this section shall be subject to the levy of the Special Tax and shall be taxed Proportionately as part of the fifth step and sixth step in Section D above, respectively, at up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Taxable Property Owner Association Property or Taxable Public Property.
In addition, no Special Tax shall be levied on any Assessor’s Parcel in any Fiscal Year in which such Assessor’s Parcel is classified as Exempt Welfare Exemption Property.
F APPEALS AND INTERPRETATIONS
Any taxpayer may file a written appeal of the Special Tax on his/her property with the CFD Administrator, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes.
During the 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 eliminate or reduce the Special Tax on the appellant’s property.
If the CFD Administrator disagrees with the appellant and the appellant is dissatisfied with the determination, the appellant then has 30 days in which to appeal to the Council by filing a written notice of appeal with the clerk of the Council, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes. The second appeal must specify the reasons for the disagreement with the CFD Administrator’s determination.
Interpretations may be made by the Council by ordinance or resolution for purposes of clarifying any vagueness or ambiguity in this Rate and Method of Apportionment.

An owner of an Assessor’s Parcel intending to prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation for such Assessor’s Parcel shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay, and within 5 business days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to cover the cost to be incurred by CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) in calculating the Prepayment Amount (as defined below) for the Assessor’s Parcel. Within 15 days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the Prepayment Amount for the Assessor’s Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date for any Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such Prepayment Amount.
The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as follows (capitalized terms are defined below):
Prepayment Amount
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Future Facilities Amount
plus Defeasance Amount
Exhibit A
10 Rate and Method of Apportionment
CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) (Beechwood - Facilities)
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
less Capitalized Interest Credit
Total: equals Special Tax Prepayment Amount
The Prepayment Amount shall be determined as of the proposed prepayment date as follows:
1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor’s Parcel.
2. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Final Mapped Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the Building Permit which has been issued for the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Final Mapped Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued, Public Property or Property Owner’s Association Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel.
3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax derived pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total amount of Special Taxes that could be levied at the Maximum Special Tax at build out of all Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property based on the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property not including any Assessor’s Parcels for which the Special Tax obligation has been previously prepaid.
4. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds to determine the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the Prepayment Amount (the “Bond Redemption Amount”).
5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”).
6. Determine the Future Facilities Cost.
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, which amount shall not be less than $0 (the “Future Facilities Amount”).
8. Determine the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the first bond interest payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds on which Bonds can be redeemed from the Prepayment Amount.
9. Determine the Special Tax levied on the Assessor’s Parcel in the current Fiscal Year which has not yet been paid.
10. Determine the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive Exhibit A
11 Rate and Method of Apportionment
CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) (Beechwood - Facilities)
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 CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2), including the cost of computation of the Prepayment Amount, 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 Maximum 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 Amount, 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 Amount from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.
14. If any capitalized interest for the Outstanding Bonds will not have been expended at the time of the first interest payment following the current Fiscal Year, the capitalized interest credit (the “Capitalized Interest Credit”) shall be calculated by multiplying the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest account after such first interest payment.
15. 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, less the Capitalized Interest Credit.
16. 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 CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2).
The Prepayment Amount may not be sufficient to redeem an aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Bonds which is equally divisible by $5,000. 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 Maximum Special Tax obligation is Exhibit A
12 Rate and Method of Apportionment
CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) (Beechwood - Facilities)
prepaid, the Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Maximum 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.
G.2 Prepayment in Part
The Maximum Special Tax obligation for (i) Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property, (ii) Assessor’s Parcels of Final Mapped Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, (iii) Assessor’s Parcels of Final Mapped Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued; and (iv) Assessor’s Parcels of Public Property or Property Owner’s Association Property that are not exempt pursuant to Section E, 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 = The partial prepayment;
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; and
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 Maximum Special Tax obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner’s intent to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation, (ii) the percentage of the Maximum 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 CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) in calculating the amount of a partial prepayment. 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 for the Assessor’s Parcel. A Partial Prepayment 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 Maximum Special Tax obligation is partially prepaid, the CFD Administrator shall (i) distribute the Partial Prepayment Amount as provided in Paragraph 16 of Section G.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) 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 Exhibit A
13 Rate and Method of Apportionment
CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) (Beechwood - Facilities)
percentage (1.00 - F) of Special Tax obligation will continue on the Assessor’s Parcel pursuant to Section D.
H SPECIAL TAX REDUCTION
The following definitions apply to this Section H:
"Base Price" means the minimum price at which Dwelling Units within a given Plan Type have sold or are expected to be sold in a normal marketing environment and shall not include prices of such Dwelling Units that are sold at a discount to expected sales prices for the purpose of stimulating the initial sales activity with respect to such Plan Type. If such information is not available, means the base price of such Dwelling Units, estimated by an MAI Appraiser or Price Point Consultant as of such date, based upon their actual or expected characteristics, such as living area, view, or lot size, but excluding potential appreciation or premiums, options or upgrades. "Plan Type" means a discrete residential plan type generally consisting of residential Dwelling Units that share a common product type (e.g., detached, attached) and that have nearly identical amounts of living area, that is constructed or expected to be constructed within CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) or the surrounding area as identified in the appraisal or Price Point Study.

"Price Point Study" means a price point study or a letter updating a previous price point study, which (a) has been prepared by the Price Point Consultant, (b) sets forth the Plan Types constructed or expected to be constructed within CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2), (c) sets forth the estimated number of constructed and expected Dwelling Units for each Plan Type, (d) sets forth estimates of the Base Price for each Plan Type and (e) uses a date for establishing such Base Prices that is no earlier than 30 days prior to the date the Price Point Study is delivered to the CFD Administrator pursuant to Section H herein.
"Total Effective Tax Rate" means, for a Plan Type, (a) the Total Tax Burden for such Plan Type divided by (b) the Base Price for such Plan Type, converted to a percentage. "Total Effective Tax Rate Limit" means 1.80%.
"Total Tax Burden” means, with respect to a Plan Type, for the Fiscal Year for which the calculation is being performed, the sum of the Assigned Special Tax and estimated ad valorem property taxes, special assessments, special taxes for any overlapping community facilities districts, and any other governmental taxes, fees and charges levied or imposed on Dwelling Units of such Plan Type in CFD No. 2026- Exhibit A
14 Rate and Method of Apportionment
CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) (Beechwood - Facilities)
1 (IA No. 2) in such Fiscal Year or that would have been levied on all such Dwelling Units had these Dwelling Units been subject to such levies (excluding homeowner’s association dues and Property Assessed Clean Energy (“PACE”) charges imposed pursuant to AB 811 or SB 555, that are levied on individual Assessor’s Parcels, or any other charges applicable to the Assessor’s Parcels initiated by the homeowner after the close of escrow).
At least 30 days prior to the issuance of the first series of Bonds, the following steps shall be taken for each Land Use Class of for-sale Residential Property in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) for evaluating the Special Tax:
Step No.:
1. The CFD Administrator shall determine whether or not the Total Effective Tax Rate for all Plan Types in a Land Use Class is less than or equal to the Total Effective Tax Rate Limit for each Land Use Class of for-sale Residential Property in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2).
a. If the Total Effective Tax Rate for all Plan Types in a Land Use Class in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) is less than or equal to the Total Effective Tax Rate Limit, then there shall be no reduction in Special Tax for such Land Use Class in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2).
b. If the Total Effective Tax Rate for any Plan Type in a Land Use Class in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) is greater than the Total Effective Tax Rate Limit , the CFD Administrator shall calculate a revised Assigned Special Tax for that Land Use Class in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2), such that the revised Assigned Special Tax does not cause the Total Effective Tax Rate for any Plan Type in such Land Use Class to exceed the Total Effective Tax Rate Limit.
2. If the Assigned Special Tax for any Land Use Class is revised pursuant to step
1.b. above, the CFD Administrator shall also prepare and execute a Certificate to Amend the Special Tax substantially in the form of Exhibit “A” hereto and shall deliver such Certificate to Amend the Special Tax to CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2). The Certificate to Amend the Special Tax shall be completed for all Land Use Classes and shall set forth, as applicable, either (i) the reduced Assigned Special Tax for a Land Use Class as calculated pursuant to step 1.b., or (ii) the Assigned Special Tax as identified in Table 1 of Section C for a Land Use Class that was not revised as determined pursuant to step 1.a. A reduction to the Assigned Special Tax in one Land Use Class shall not require a reduction in any other Land Use Class.
3. If the anticipated date of issuance of Bonds is within 180 days of the date of receipt of the Price Point Study by the CFD Administrator, CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) shall execute the acknowledgement on such Certificate to Amend the Special Tax dated as of the closing date of such Bonds, and upon the closing of such Bonds, the Assigned Special Tax for each Land Use Class shall be as set forth in such Certificate to Amend the Special Tax. If the date of issuance of Bonds is not within 180 days of the date of receipt of the Price Point Study by the CFD Administrator, such Certificate to Amend the Special Tax shall not be acknowledged by CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) and shall, as of such date, be Exhibit A
15 Rate and Method of Apportionment
CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) (Beechwood - Facilities)
void and of no further force and effect. In such case, if subsequently Bonds are expected to be issued, at least 30 days prior to that expected date, steps 1 and 2 of this section shall be performed based on a new Price Point Study.
4. After the execution by CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) of the acknowledgement on the Certificate to Amend the Special Tax, CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) shall cause to be recorded in the records of the County Recorder an Amended Notice of Special Tax Lien for CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) reflecting the Assigned Special Tax for CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) set forth in such Certificate to Amend the Special Tax.
5. If the Assigned Special Tax is not required to be changed for any Land Use Class based on the calculations performed under step 1 above, there shall be no reduction in the Assigned Special Tax and no Certificate to Amend the Special Tax shall be required.
I MANNER OF COLLECTION
The Special Tax will be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect the Special Tax at a different time 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 TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
The Special Taxes shall be levied until the final series of Bonds have matured, provided that the Special Taxes shall not be levied after Fiscal Year 2074-2075. The Special Taxes will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD Administrator has determined that all required interest and principal payments on the Bonds have been paid, no delinquent Special Taxes remain uncollected, and the City has covenanted that it will not issue any more Bonds (other than refunding Bonds) to be supported by Special Taxes levied under this Rate and Method of Apportionment as described in Section D.

III DESCRIPTION AND ESTIMATED COSTS OF PUBLIC FACILITIES A Description of Public Facilities
A community facilities district may provide for the purchase, construction, expansion, or rehabilitation of any real or tangible property, including public facilities and infrastructure improvements, with an estimated useful life of five (5) years or longer, which is necessary to meet increased demands placed upon local agencies as a result of development or rehabilitation occurring within the community facilities district. In addition, a community facilities district may pay in full all amounts necessary to eliminate any fixed special assessment liens or to pay, repay, or defease any obligation to pay for any indebtedness secured by any tax, fee, charge, or assessment levied within the area of the community facilities district. A CFD may also provide for financing of certain public services to meet these demands.
The facilities described in this Report are all facilities which the City or other local agencies are authorized to own, construct, or finance, and which are required, in part, to adequately meet the needs of CFD No. 2026-1 and are described in the resolution establishing CFD No. 2026-1 (the “Resolution of Formation”). Because the actual needs of CFD No. 2026-1 arising as development progresses therein may differ from those currently anticipated, CFD No. 2026-1 reserves the right to modify the actual facilities proposed herein to the extent CFD No. 2026-1 deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to meet those needs. The Special Taxes required to pay for the construction or financing of said facilities will be apportioned as described in each Rate and Method of Apportionment.
CFD No. 2026-1 is authorized to finance all or a portion of the costs of acquisition, construction, and improvement of facilities permitted under the Act and that are required as a condition of development of the Project within CFD No. 2026-1, including, but not limited to, the following facilities:
Transportation facilities;
Park and recreation improvements and facilities;
Parkway and landscaping improvements;
Public safety facilities including police and fire buildings and equipment; Public library and community center facilities;

IV BONDED INDEBTEDNESS AND INCIDENTAL EXPENSES
A Projected Bond Sales
The maximum amount of the bonded indebtedness of CFD No. 2026-1 for each Improvement Area may include all costs and estimated costs incidental to, or connected with, the accomplishment of the purpose for which the indebtedness is proposed to be incurred as authorized pursuant to the Act. The maximum amount of the indebtedness proposed to be authorized for each Improvement Area is:
Improvement Area No. 1 - $15,000,000
Improvement Area No. 2 - $15,000,000
B Incidental Bond Issuance Expenses to be Included in the Proposed Bonded Indebtedness
Pursuant to Section 53345.3 of the Act, bonded indebtedness may include all costs and estimated costs incidental to, or connected with, the accomplishment of the purpose for which the proposed debt is to be incurred, including, but not limited to, the estimated costs of construction or acquisition of buildings, or both; acquisition of land, rights-of-way, water, sewer, or other capacity or connection fees; satisfaction of contractual obligations relating to expenses or the advancement of funds for expenses existing at the time the bonds are issued, architectural, engineering, inspection, legal, fiscal, and financial consultant fees; bond and other reserve funds; discount fees; interest on any bonds of the district estimated to be due and payable within two years of issuance of the bonds; election costs; and all costs of issuance of the bonds, including, but not limited to, fees for bond counsel, disclosure counsel and the City's general counsel, costs of obtaining credit ratings, bond insurance premiums, fees for letters of credit, and other credit enhancement costs, and printing costs. For the Bonds proposed to be issued by CFD No. 2026-1, the reserve requirement is estimated at approximately 10% of the principal amount of Bonds, capitalized interest is estimated at approximately 5% of the principal amount of Bonds, and all other incidental bond issuance expenses are estimated at approximately 4% of the principal amount of Bonds.

V RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
The property located within CFD No. 2026-1, unless exempted by law or by the applicable Rate and Method of Apportionment (defined below), shall be taxed for the purpose of funding public facilities authorized to be financed by CFD No. 2026-1. 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 benefit received by parcels of real property, the costs of making authorized facilities or authorized services available to each parcel or other reasonable basis as determined by the legislative body,” although the special tax may not be apportioned on an ad valorem basis pursuant to Article XIIIA of the California Constitution.
The rate and method of apportionment of the special tax for each Improvement Area of CFD No. 2026-1 (each, a "Rate and Method of Apportionment"), included in Exhibit B to the Resolution of Intention, and Appendix A of this Report, provides information sufficient to allow each property owner within each Improvement Area of CFD No. 2026-1 to estimate the maximum annual Special Tax he or she will be required to pay.
Sections A through D below provide additional information on each Rate and Method of Apportionment.
A Explanation of Special Tax Apportionment
When a CFD is formed, a special tax may be levied on each parcel of taxable property within the CFD to pay for the construction, acquisition, and rehabilitation of public facilities, to pay for authorized services or to repay bonded indebtedness or other related expenses incurred by a CFD. This special tax must be apportioned in a reasonable manner; however, the tax may not be apportioned on an ad valorem basis.
When more than one type of land use is present within a CFD, several criteria may be considered when apportioning the special tax. Generally, criteria based on building square footage, acreage, and land use are selected, and categories based on such criteria are established to differentiate between parcels of property. These categories are a direct result of the projected product mix and are reflective of the proposed land use types within that CFD. Specific special tax levels are assigned to each land use class, with all parcels within a land use class assigned the same special tax rate.
The Act does not require that special taxes be apportioned to individual parcels based on benefit received.
The major assumption inherent in the Special Tax rates set forth in each Rate and Method of Apportionment is that the level of benefit received from the proposed public facilities and services is a function of land use and/or product type. This assumption is borne out through an examination of commonly accepted statistical measures for public facility usage.
For example, in measuring average weekday vehicle trip-ends, the Institute of Transportation Engineer's Trip Generation manual identifies land use as the primary Attachment 6

RATE AND METHOD OF
APPORTIONMENT

determinant of trip-end magnitude. Larger residential dwelling units typically generate a greater number of trip-ends than do smaller residential dwelling units, and therefore, will tend to receive more benefit from road grading, road landscaping and road improvements.
Drainage and flood control requirements generally vary with the amount of impervious ground cover per parcel. It follows that large homes situated on large lots have more impervious ground cover which will create more drainage flows than that of smaller homes situated on smaller lots.
Sewer treatment costs are based on plant capacity to treat Biochemical Oxygen Demand (“BOD”), Suspended Solids (“SS”), and the flow rate. Other variables for water and sewer requirements include storage and fire flow requirements, as well as the number of bathrooms and fixture units in the home and the population of the household, which tends to vary directly with the size of the dwelling unit.
In addition, larger buildings typically generate a greater number of “person hours,” or the number of hours per week that residents associated with a specific type of land use could potentially use park and recreation facilities or require the need for the proposed public services.
Therefore, Special Tax rates have been established for residential and non-residential land use classes for each Improvement Area of CFD No. 2026-1. In addition, to ensure fairness, the Special Tax rates are uniformly applied within each land use class. The Special Tax for a parcel of Residential Property in each Improvement Area of CFD No. 2026-1 will vary directly based on the type of use and the amount of Residential Floor Area for each residential dwelling unit on such parcel. The Special Tax for Non-Residential Property, if any, in each Improvement Area of CFD No. 2026-1 will vary directly with the acreage of such parcel.
Based on the types of public facilities and services that are proposed for each Improvement Area of CFD No. 2026-1 and the factors described above, the Special Taxes assigned to Developed Property are generally proportionate to the relative uses of such facilities, and, accordingly, the Special Taxes in each Improvement Area of CFD No. 2026-1 can be considered fair and reasonable.
B Assigned and Maximum Special Tax Rates
Table 1 within each Rate and Method of Apportionment lists the Assigned Special Tax that may be levied on each Assessor’s Parcel classified as Developed Property within each Improvement Area of CFD No. 2026-1 to fund the Special Tax Requirement. The Special Tax for an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property cannot exceed the rates shown in such Table 1, except when the Backup Special Tax is applied as discussed in Section V.C below. In addition, the Maximum Special Tax for each Assessor’s Parcel of Final Mapped Property is shown in Section C.2 of each Rate and Method of Apportionment and the Maximum Special Tax for each Assessor’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property, Taxable Public Property, and Taxable Property Owner Association Property is shown in Section C.3 of each Rate and Attachment 6

Method of Apportionment.
C Backup Special Tax
Pursuant to the Rate and Method of Apportionment for each Improvement Area, the Maximum Special Tax for each Assessor’s Parcel classified as Developed Property is the greater of (i) the Assigned Special Tax or (ii) the amount derived by application of the Backup Special Tax.
Within each Improvement Area, the Backup Special Tax for each Assessor’s Parcel of Residential Property in a Final Map shall be computed by multiplying the Acreage of all Taxable Property (excluding Acreage associated with current or expected Non-Residential Property, Taxable Public Property, or Taxable Property Owner Association Property, if any) in such Final Map by the per-acre amount identified in Section C.1.b of the Improvement Area, and dividing the product by the number of such Assessor’s Parcels (i.e., the number of residential lots) in such Final Map.
D Accuracy of Information
In order to establish the Maximum Special Tax rates for each Improvement Area of CFD No. 2026-1 as set forth in the applicable Rate and Method of Apportionment, DTA has relied on information including, but not limited to, absorption, land-use types, building square footage, and net taxable acreage provided to it by others. DTA has not independently verified such data and disclaims responsibility for the impact of inaccurate data, if any, on the Rate and Method of Apportionment for any Improvement Area within CFD No. 2026-1, including the inability to meet the financial obligations within such Improvement Areas.

C.4 Multiple Land Use Classes
In some instances, an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property may contain more than one Land Use Class. The annual Maximum Special Taxes levied on an Assessor’s Parcel shall be the sum of the Maximum Special Taxes for all Land Use Classes located on that Assessor’s Parcel. If an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property includes Non-Residential Property, the Acreage to be assigned to such property for purposes of establishing the Special Tax shall be an amount proportional to the Total Floor Area associated with Non-Residential Property, as applicable. Furthermore, for a condominium plan, if only a portion of its Building Permits have been issued, the remaining portion of the condominium plan shall be considered Final Mapped Property. The CFD Administrator’s allocation to each type of property shall be final.
D APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Commencing with Fiscal Year 2025-2026 and for each following Fiscal Year, the Council shall determine the Special Tax Requirement and shall levy the Special Tax until the total Special Tax levy equals the Special Tax Requirement. The Special Tax shall be levied each Fiscal Year as follows:
First: The Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property up to 100% of the applicable Assigned Special Tax to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Second: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first step has been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Final Mapped Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Third: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first two steps have been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Fourth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first three steps have been completed, the Special Tax on each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property whose Maximum Special Tax is the Backup Special Tax shall be increased Proportionately from the Assigned Special Tax up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Fifth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first four steps have been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Taxable Property Owner Association Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.

Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Taxes levied in any Fiscal Year against any Assessor’s Parcel of Residential Property as a result of a delinquency in the payment of the Special Tax applicable to any other Assessor’s Parcel be increased by more than 10% above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there never been any such delinquency or default.

No Special Tax shall be levied on Acres of Property Owner Association Property or Public Property in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) provided that an Assessor’s Parcel shall not be exempt and shall be classified as Taxable Property Owner Association Property and Taxable Public Property if exempting such property would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to less than 19.02 Acres. Tax-exempt status will be assigned by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order in which such Assessor’s Parcels or portions thereof within CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) become Public Property or Property Owner Association Property.
However, should an Assessor’s Parcel no longer be classified as Public Property or Property Owner Association Property, it will, from that point forward, be subject to the Special Tax.
Property Owner Association Property or Public Property that is not exempt from the Special Tax under this section shall be subject to the levy of the Special Tax and shall be taxed Proportionately as part of the fifth step and sixth step in Section D above, respectively, at up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Taxable Property Owner Association Property or Taxable Public Property.
In addition, no Special Tax shall be levied on any Assessor’s Parcel in any Fiscal Year in which such Assessor’s Parcel is classified as Exempt Welfare Exemption Property.
F APPEALS AND INTERPRETATIONS
Any taxpayer may file a written appeal of the Special Tax on his/her property with the CFD Administrator, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes.
During the 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 eliminate or reduce the Special Tax on the appellant’s property.
If the CFD Administrator disagrees with the appellant and the appellant is dissatisfied with the determination, the appellant then has 30 days in which to appeal to the Council by filing a written notice of appeal with the clerk of the Council, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes. The second appeal must specify the reasons for the disagreement with the CFD Administrator’s determination.
Interpretations may be made by the Council by ordinance or resolution for purposes of clarifying any vagueness or ambiguity in this Rate and Method of Apportionment.

“Construction Fund” means a fund held by the Trustee to fund CFD Public Facilities. “Future Facilities Cost” means the CFD Public Facilities minus public facility costs previously funded, or that can be funded from funds in the Construction Fund. “Outstanding Bonds” means all previously issued Bonds secured by the levy of the Special Tax which will remain outstanding after the first interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year, excluding Bonds to be redeemed at a later date with the proceeds of prior prepayments of the Special Tax.
G.1 Prepayment in Full
The Maximum Special Tax obligation may be prepaid and permanently satisfied for (i) Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property, (ii) Assessor’s Parcels of Final Mapped Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, (iii) Assessor’s Parcels of Final Mapped Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued; and (iv) Assessor’s Parcels of Public Property or Property Owner’s Association Property that are not exempt pursuant to Section E.
The Maximum Special Tax obligation applicable to an Assessor’s Parcel may be fully prepaid and the obligation to pay the Special Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel permanently satisfied as described herein; provided that a prepayment may be made only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor’s Parcel at the time of prepayment. An owner of an Assessor’s Parcel intending to prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation for such Assessor’s Parcel shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay, and within 5 business days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to cover the cost to be incurred by CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) in calculating the Prepayment Amount (as defined below) for the Assessor’s Parcel. Within 15 days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the Prepayment Amount for the Assessor’s Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date for any Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such Prepayment Amount.
The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as follows (capitalized terms are defined below):
Prepayment Amount
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Future Facilities Amount
plus Defeasance Amount
Attachment 6
10 Rate and Method of Apportionment
CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) (Beechwood - Facilities)
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
less Capitalized Interest Credit
Total: equals Special Tax Prepayment Amount
The Prepayment Amount shall be determined as of the proposed prepayment date as follows:
1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor’s Parcel.
2. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Final Mapped Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the Building Permit which has been issued for the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Final Mapped Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued, Public Property or Property Owner’s Association Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel.
3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax derived pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total amount of Special Taxes that could be levied at the Maximum Special Tax at build out of all Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property based on the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property not including any Assessor’s Parcels for which the Special Tax obligation has been previously prepaid.
4. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds to determine the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the Prepayment Amount (the “Bond Redemption Amount”).
5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”).
6. Determine the Future Facilities Cost.
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, which amount shall not be less than $0 (the “Future Facilities Amount”).
8. Determine the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the first bond interest payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds on which Bonds can be redeemed from the Prepayment Amount.
9. Determine the Special Tax levied on the Assessor’s Parcel in the current Fiscal Year which has not yet been paid.
10. Determine the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive Attachment 6
11 Rate and Method of Apportionment
CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) (Beechwood - Facilities)
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 CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1), including the cost of computation of the Prepayment Amount, 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 Maximum 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 Amount, 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 Amount from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.
14. If any capitalized interest for the Outstanding Bonds will not have been expended at the time of the first interest payment following the current Fiscal Year, the capitalized interest credit (the “Capitalized Interest Credit”) shall be calculated by multiplying the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest account after such first interest payment.
15. 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, less the Capitalized Interest Credit.
16. 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 CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1).
The Prepayment Amount may not be sufficient to redeem an aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Bonds which is equally divisible by $5,000. 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 Maximum Special Tax obligation is Attachment 6
12 Rate and Method of Apportionment
CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) (Beechwood - Facilities)
prepaid, the Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Maximum 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.

The owner of an Assessor’s Parcel who desires to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner’s intent to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation, (ii) the percentage of the Maximum 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 CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) in calculating the amount of a partial prepayment. 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 for the Assessor’s Parcel. A Partial Prepayment 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 Maximum Special Tax obligation is partially prepaid, the CFD Administrator shall (i) distribute the Partial Prepayment Amount as provided in Paragraph 16 of Section G.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) 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 Attachment 6
13 Rate and Method of Apportionment

At least 30 days prior to the issuance of the first series of Bonds, the following steps shall be taken for each Land Use Class of for-sale Residential Property in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) for evaluating the Special Tax:
Step No.:
1. The CFD Administrator shall determine whether or not the Total Effective Tax Rate for all Plan Types in a Land Use Class is less than or equal to the Total Effective Tax Rate Limit for each Land Use Class of for-sale Residential Property in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1).
a. If the Total Effective Tax Rate for all Plan Types in a Land Use Class in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) is less than or equal to the Total Effective Tax Rate Limit, then there shall be no reduction in Special Tax for such Land Use Class in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1).
b. If the Total Effective Tax Rate for any Plan Type in a Land Use Class in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) is greater than the Total Effective Tax Rate Limit , the CFD Administrator shall calculate a revised Assigned Special Tax for that Land Use Class in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1), such that the revised Assigned Special Tax does not cause the Total Effective Tax Rate for any Plan Type in such Land Use Class to exceed the Total Effective Tax Rate Limit.
2. If the Assigned Special Tax for any Land Use Class is revised pursuant to step
1.b. above, the CFD Administrator shall also prepare and execute a Certificate to Amend the Special Tax substantially in the form of Exhibit “A” hereto and shall deliver such Certificate to Amend the Special Tax to CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1). The Certificate to Amend the Special Tax shall be completed for all Land Use Classes and shall set forth, as applicable, either (i) the reduced Assigned Special Tax for a Land Use Class as calculated pursuant to step 1.b., or (ii) the Assigned Special Tax as identified in Table 1 of Section C for a Land Use Class that was not revised as determined pursuant to step 1.a. A reduction to the Assigned Special Tax in one Land Use Class shall not require a reduction in any other Land Use Class.
3. If the anticipated date of issuance of Bonds is within 180 days of the date of receipt of the Price Point Study by the CFD Administrator, CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) shall execute the acknowledgement on such Certificate to Amend the Special Tax dated as of the closing date of such Bonds, and upon the closing of such Bonds, the Assigned Special Tax for each Land Use Class shall be as set forth in such Certificate to Amend the Special Tax. If the date of issuance of Bonds is not within 180 days of the date of receipt of the Price Point Study by the CFD Administrator, such Certificate to Amend the Special Tax shall not be acknowledged by CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) and shall, as of such date, be Attachment 6
15 Rate and Method of Apportionment
CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) (Beechwood - Facilities)
void and of no further force and effect. In such case, if subsequently Bonds are expected to be issued, at least 30 days prior to that expected date, steps 1 and 2 of this section shall be performed based on a new Price Point Study.
4. After the execution by CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) of the acknowledgement on the Certificate to Amend the Special Tax, CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) shall cause to be recorded in the records of the County Recorder an Amended Notice of Special Tax Lien for CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) reflecting the Assigned Special Tax for CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) set forth in such Certificate to Amend the Special Tax.
5. If the Assigned Special Tax is not required to be changed for any Land Use Class based on the calculations performed under step 1 above, there shall be no reduction in the Assigned Special Tax and no Certificate to Amend the Special Tax shall be required.
I MANNER OF COLLECTION
The Special Tax will be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 1) may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect the Special Tax at a different time 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 TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
The Special Taxes shall be levied until the final series of Bonds have matured, provided that the Special Taxes shall not be levied after Fiscal Year 2074-2075. The Special Taxes will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD Administrator has determined that all required interest and principal payments on the Bonds have been paid, no delinquent Special Taxes remain uncollected, and the City has covenanted that it will not issue any more Bonds (other than refunding Bonds) to be supported by Special Taxes levied under this Rate and Method of Apportionment as described in Section D.

The CFD Administrator’s allocation to each type of property shall be final.
D APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Commencing with Fiscal Year 2025-2026 and for each following Fiscal Year, the Council shall determine the Special Tax Requirement and shall levy the Special Tax until the total Special Tax levy equals the Special Tax Requirement. The Special Tax shall be levied each Fiscal Year as follows:
First: The Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property up to 100% of the applicable Assigned Special Tax to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Second: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first step has been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Final Mapped Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Third: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first two steps have been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Undeveloped Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Fourth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first three steps have been completed, the Special Tax on each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property whose Maximum Special Tax is the Backup Special Tax shall be increased Proportionately from the Assigned Special Tax up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Fifth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first four steps have been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Taxable Property Owner Association Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.

CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) (Beechwood - Facilities)
Sixth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first five steps have been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Taxable Public Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Taxes levied in any Fiscal Year against any Assessor’s Parcel of Residential Property as a result of a delinquency in the payment of the Special Tax applicable to any other Assessor’s Parcel be increased by more than 10% above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there never been any such delinquency or default.
E EXEMPTIONS
No Special Tax shall be levied on Acres of Property Owner Association Property or Public Property in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) provided that an Assessor’s Parcel shall not be exempt and shall be classified as Taxable Property Owner Association Property and Taxable Public Property if exempting such property would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to less than 18.17 Acres. Tax-exempt status will be assigned by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order in which such Assessor’s Parcels or portions thereof within CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) become Public Property or Property Owner Association Property.
However, should an Assessor’s Parcel no longer be classified as Public Property or Property Owner Association Property, it will, from that point forward, be subject to the Special Tax.
Property Owner Association Property or Public Property that is not exempt from the Special Tax under this section shall be subject to the levy of the Special Tax and shall be taxed Proportionately as part of the fifth step and sixth step in Section D above, respectively, at up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Taxable Property Owner Association Property or Taxable Public Property.
In addition, no Special Tax shall be levied on any Assessor’s Parcel in any Fiscal Year in which such Assessor’s Parcel is classified as Exempt Welfare Exemption Property.
F APPEALS AND INTERPRETATIONS
Any taxpayer may file a written appeal of the Special Tax on his/her property with the CFD Administrator, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes.
During the 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 eliminate or reduce the Special Tax on the appellant’s property.
If the CFD Administrator disagrees with the appellant and the appellant is dissatisfied with the determination, the appellant then has 30 days in which to appeal to the Council by filing a written notice of appeal with the clerk of the Council, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes. The second appeal must specify the reasons for the disagreement with the CFD Administrator’s determination.
Interpretations may be made by the Council by ordinance or resolution for purposes of clarifying any vagueness or ambiguity in this Rate and Method of Apportionment.

Total: equals Special Tax Prepayment Amount
The Prepayment Amount shall be determined as of the proposed prepayment date as follows:
1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor’s Parcel.
2. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Final Mapped Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the Building Permit which has been issued for the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Final Mapped Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued, Public Property or Property Owner’s Association Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s Parcel.
3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax derived pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total amount of Special Taxes that could be levied at the Maximum Special Tax at build out of all Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property based on the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property not including any Assessor’s Parcels for which the Special Tax obligation has been previously prepaid.
4. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds to determine the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the Prepayment Amount (the “Bond Redemption Amount”).
5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”).
6. Determine the Future Facilities Cost.
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, which amount shall not be less than $0 (the “Future Facilities Amount”).

9. Determine the Special Tax levied on the Assessor’s Parcel in the current Fiscal Year which has not yet been paid.
10. Determine the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive Attachment 6
11 Rate and Method of Apportionment
CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) (Beechwood - Facilities)
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 CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2), including the cost of computation of the Prepayment Amount, 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 Maximum 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 Amount, 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 Amount from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.
14. If any capitalized interest for the Outstanding Bonds will not have been expended at the time of the first interest payment following the current Fiscal Year, the capitalized interest credit (the “Capitalized Interest Credit”) shall be calculated by multiplying the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest account after such first interest payment.
15. 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, less the Capitalized Interest Credit.
16. 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 CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2).
The Prepayment Amount may not be sufficient to redeem an aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Bonds which is equally divisible by $5,000. 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 Maximum Special Tax obligation is Attachment 6
12 Rate and Method of Apportionment
CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) (Beechwood - Facilities)
prepaid, the Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Maximum 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.

At least 30 days prior to the issuance of the first series of Bonds, the following steps shall be taken for each Land Use Class of for-sale Residential Property in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) for evaluating the Special Tax:
Step No.:
1. The CFD Administrator shall determine whether or not the Total Effective Tax Rate for all Plan Types in a Land Use Class is less than or equal to the Total Effective Tax Rate Limit for each Land Use Class of for-sale Residential Property in CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2).

1.b. above, the CFD Administrator shall also prepare and execute a Certificate to Amend the Special Tax substantially in the form of Exhibit “A” hereto and shall deliver such Certificate to Amend the Special Tax to CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2). The Certificate to Amend the Special Tax shall be completed for all Land Use Classes and shall set forth, as applicable, either (i) the reduced Assigned Special Tax for a Land Use Class as calculated pursuant to step 1.b., or (ii) the Assigned Special Tax as identified in Table 1 of Section C for a Land Use Class that was not revised as determined pursuant to step 1.a. A reduction to the Assigned Special Tax in one Land Use Class shall not require a reduction in any other Land Use Class.
3. If the anticipated date of issuance of Bonds is within 180 days of the date of receipt of the Price Point Study by the CFD Administrator, CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) shall execute the acknowledgement on such Certificate to Amend the Special Tax dated as of the closing date of such Bonds, and upon the closing of such Bonds, the Assigned Special Tax for each Land Use Class shall be as set forth in such Certificate to Amend the Special Tax. If the date of issuance of Bonds is not within 180 days of the date of receipt of the Price Point Study by the CFD Administrator, such Certificate to Amend the Special Tax shall not be acknowledged by CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) and shall, as of such date, be Attachment 6

CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) (Beechwood - Facilities)
void and of no further force and effect. In such case, if subsequently Bonds are expected to be issued, at least 30 days prior to that expected date, steps 1 and 2 of this section shall be performed based on a new Price Point Study.
4. After the execution by CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) of the acknowledgement on the Certificate to Amend the Special Tax, CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) shall cause to be recorded in the records of the County Recorder an Amended Notice of Special Tax Lien for CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) reflecting the Assigned Special Tax for CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) set forth in such Certificate to Amend the Special Tax.
5. If the Assigned Special Tax is not required to be changed for any Land Use Class based on the calculations performed under step 1 above, there shall be no reduction in the Assigned Special Tax and no Certificate to Amend the Special Tax shall be required.
I MANNER OF COLLECTION
The Special Tax will be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that CFD No. 2026-1 (IA No. 2) may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect the Special Tax at a different time 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 TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
The Special Taxes shall be levied until the final series of Bonds have matured, provided that the Special Taxes shall not be levied after Fiscal Year 2074-2075. The Special Taxes will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if the CFD Administrator has determined that all required interest and principal payments on the Bonds have been paid, no delinquent Special Taxes remain uncollected, and the City has covenanted that it will not issue any more Bonds (other than refunding Bonds) to be supported by Special Taxes levied under this Rate and Method of Apportionment as described in Section D.
