Adoption of Goals & Policies Statement for Community
Facilities Districts, specifically for the Point Molate CFD FINANCIAL IMPACT: A Fiscal Impact Study was prepared on behalf of the developer, and the Study was peer reviewed by the City’s consultant. The Study projects a positive long-term
impact of the development. However, with more
conservative assumptions than those used in the peer
reviewed study, a negative fiscal impact is possible.
Developer has now agreed to additional security
measures to ensure that possible negative fiscal impacts to the General Fund are fully addressed to the maximum
degree permitted by State law

November 23, 2021.
STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:
Within its Disposition and Development Agreement and
its Development Agreement with the entitlement holders
of Point Molate, the City has agreed to cooperate in the formation of financing districts, including landscape and lighting maintenance districts, community facilities
districts, benefit assessment districts, geologic hazard abatement districts, and tax-exempt financing
mechanisms. Certain actions are required of the City to comply with these agreements. This item presents
documents required for the first formal step in the
process of forming a Community Facilities District.
Presented herewith are a Resolution Adopting Local
Goals and Policies Relating to Community Facilities
Districts, a Resolution of Intention for the establishment of a Community Facilities District for Point Molate, and a Resolution of Intention to Incur Bonded Indebtedness
within the Community Facilities District for Point Molate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
ADOPT a resolution adopting Local Goals and Policies
Relating to Community Facilities Districts; ADOPT a
resolution of intention to establish the City of Richmond Community Facilities District No. 2022-1 (Point Molate), and to Designate Three Improvement Areas therein, to
Authorize the Levy of a Special Tax to Pay the Cost of
Acquiring or Constructing Certain Facilities, Provide
Certain Services and Pay for Certain Incidental Expenses and to Pay Debt Service on Bonded Indebtedness; and
ADOPT a resolution of intention to Incur Bonded
Indebtedness Within the City of Richmond Community
Facilities District No. 2022-1 (Point Molate), and Each of the Three Improvement Areas Therein. There is no

DISCUSSION:
Background. The formation of land-secured financing districts, as permitted by State law, are utilized to finance the construction, development, and operation of the master infrastructure, offsite improvements, and master developer amenities in connection with various projects and the development of a property.
During the entitlement phase of land use planning, a Fiscal Impact Study1 was prepared by Economic Planning Systems, Inc. (“ EPS”) on behalf of the developer, Winehaven Legacy, and the Study was peer reviewed2 by the City’s consultant, BAE Urban Economics. These studies were reviewed by the City Council prior to the granting of development entitlements in September 2020. The EPS study projected a positive long-term impact of the development. However, adverse fiscal impacts in the short term are possible and have been considered at previous City Council meetings.
This impact has the potential to occur should operating costs exceed the tax revenues derived from the project before the project is completely built out.
Also during the entitlement phase of the land use planning and/or project planning for Point Molate, the City was asked and agreed to include provisions in its Disposition and Development Agreement (“DDA”) and its Development Agreement (“DA”) to cooperate with developers in the formation of financing districts, including landscape and lighting maintenance districts, community facilities districts, benefit assessment districts, geologic hazard abatement districts, and tax-exempt financing mechanisms.
The City is obligated under the terms of its DDA and its DA to work with Winehaven Legacy, aka SunCal, to form a Community Facilities District (“CFD”) for the potential Point Molate project. However, the City is not obligated by the DDA and DA to proceed if the financing mechanism requires General Fund support.
As noted previously, one mechanism of land-secured financing is the CFD. On November 23, 2021, the City Council authorized the City to assemble a team to study the proposed project and develop the various quantitative analyses and legal documents that are necessary for the formation of a Community Facilities District.
Initially the developer’s fiscal impact analysis by EPS showed no impact on the General Fund over the expected absorption timeframe of seven years for buildout.
Over a number of public meetings, this analysis was expanded to 15 - and 30-year buildout scenarios. Because a police and fire station must be constructed and staffed at the early stage of project development, the speed of development and sales is critical. To prevent a negative fiscal impact, the developer first offered $2 million per

year for five years to support operations. The finance team for the City further suggested using the $22.5 million revenue from the sale of the land, as an early development security fund, that would eventually be transferred to the City’s General Fund. The City Council then questioned the assumed sales prices of the units which created the possibility of a negative impact within the 30 -year buildout scenario.
The City’s financial team went back to the developer and requested that the City’s $22.5 million commitment as security be removed, and the developer fund the public safety operations until the costs can be fully carried by the CFD. The developer has responded favorably and will provide an operational subsidy as needed. The City’s police and fire station services costs are projected at $5.355 million, and the developer will provide $6 million with a 12 percent contingency, which payment would escalate at the maximum CFD rate of 6 percent. The need for the $22.5 million Security Fund from the City is eliminated. With this, the City’s financial team thinks the City Council’s efforts have now substantially improved the City’s position.
Risk Assessment. With this summary, the City Council and technical consultants have identified policy questions and risks. The team has designed for City Council consideration a CFD that mitigates or eliminates risks.
The following risks have been identified with respect to the formation of a CFD for Point Molate:
o Risk 1: The CFD allows the development of Point Molate to proceed, and the project has an adverse fiscal impact on the City's General Fund.
o Risk 2: The CFD is formed, but bonds are never issued, and the project is de facto abandoned.
o Risk 3: The CFD issues bonds and the bonds go into default.
o Risk 4: The CFD issues bonds but the development of the project proceeds very slowly or is stalled for years.
Below is a more detailed discussion of each risk described above:
Risk 1: The CFD allows the development of Point Molate to proceed, and the project has an adverse fiscal impact on the City's General Fund.
The primary fiscal challenge associated with the development of Point Molate is the need for both a fire station and a police substation to serve the area. While the DDA specifies that a combined police and fire station must be completed at the expense of the developer prior to sale or rental of housing units in Point Molate, there is no such special provision in the DDA regarding developer funding of the operational costs.
As previously noted, d uring the entitlement phase of land use planning, a Fiscal Impact Study was prepared by EPS on behalf of the developer, and the Study was peer reviewed by the City’s consultant, BAE. The EPS study projects a positive long -
March 18, 2022
term fiscal impact from the develo pment, taking into consideration the full operational costs for the new fire and police stations in Point Molate. City staff has checked the assumptions on fire and police operating expenses and found them substantially accurate. The combined costs of staffing and operating the proposed combined police and fire station in Point Molate projected by the Fiscal Impact Study done in 2020 were estimated to be $5.2 million per year. City staff has done a detailed analysis of the costs to staff and operate the proposed combined police and fire station in Point Molate. The updated staff analysis indicated an annual cost of $5.355 million per year.
However, the staff analysis also indicated a cost of about $1.65 million to acquire police and fire rolling stock for the new station. If leased, an annual lease payment for rolling stock is projected to be less than $300,000 per year. This equipment will need to be replaced over time. City staff’s analysis:
Given all these considerations, the peer-reviewed fiscal impact analysis would indicate, when adjusted for SunCal's current development plans for Point Molate, an annual fiscal surplus of approximately $7.5 million per year at full build out.
However, prior to build out, staff and the finance team have determined that the need to fund $5 million+ per year in fire and police operating expenses for Point Molate will result in a negative fiscal impact prior to the completion of about 600 of the 1,400+ units planned for Point Molate.
Council has directed staff to re-evaluate the fiscal impact of the proposed development using lower estimated valuations for Point Molate than those provided by Integra Reality Resources in their February 7, 2022, analysis. Accordingly, City staff and the City's finance team used the lower estimated valuations provided by Strategic Economics in their September 8, 2020, study for the Point Molate Alliance (Attachment 6). Use of Strategic Economics’ lower valuation assumptions and projecting a long 30-year build out period for Point Molate results in a negative fiscal impact on the City’s General Fund. Use of a 7-year or 15-year build out period with Strategic Economics’ valuation assumptions results in a positive fiscal impact on the City’s General Fund.
Given the requirement that the CFD have no negative impact upon the City, the proposed Rate and Method of Apportionment ("RMA") proposed within the Resolution of Annual Costs for Staffing
Police $2,090,945
Fire $3,264,037
Total $5,354,982
One-Time Start-Up Costs
Police $228,800
Fire $1,412,380
Total $1,641,180
Summary Public Safety Costs for the
Start-Up & Staffing of Station at Point Molate
March 18, 2022
Intention of the City Council of the City of Richmond, California, to Establish the City of Richmond Community Facilities District No. 2022-1 (Point Molate) (Attachment 3) has been designed to fully mitigate the risk of negative fiscal impact on the City’s General Fund, even in the 30-year build out scenario using the valuation estimates of Strategic Economics. This protective provision is described in detail in the section of this staff report regarding the Rate and Method of Apportionment.
Risk 2: The CFD is formed, but bonds are never issued, and the project is de facto abandoned.
The formation of a CFD for a particular real estate development, such as Point Molate, does not directly trigger or result in the issuance of bonds or the actual construction of the project. There are a number of examples in California where CFDs were formed, and years passed before bonds were issued and the project started development. In a few cases, the project was de facto abandoned by the developer.
In this case the City's fiscal risk would arise from the need to provide basic public safety services to the Point Molate area in a vacant land and/or open space state. Neither staff nor the financing team has any estimates of what these costs would be.
If bonds are not issued, the City would not have any of the risks associated with bond issuance, as described below under Risk 3.
With respect to the risk of project failure, staff and the financing team were presented with a number of questions regarding anticipated absorption rates of a development of Point Molate. These questions were addressed in the materials previously presented, and particularly for the Study Session held on February 24, 2022. As addressed then, an absorption study has not been prepared at this time because the absorption study must be prepared and dated not more than 90 days in advance of the issuance of bonds. "Best practices" amongst California public agencies with respect to the absorption study and appraisal for a potential CFD project is to require these documents at the time of bond issuance, as opposed to the time of CFD formation. Since two to three years may transpire between the time of CFD formation and the time when home construction can start, these studies are typically considered speculative at the time of CFD formation.
Risk 3: The CFD issues bonds and the bonds go into default.
As noted in a presentation to Council on November 23, 2021, the worst-case scenario for bond issuance is that the first series of bonds for a Point Molate CFD are issued, but the developer stops paying CFD special taxes and de facto abandons the project. Such a failure would most likely be accompanied by a bankruptcy filing by the developer.
Given the need to fully fund and construct a $40 million+ utility stub across Interstate 580 and up Stenmark Drive before the first building permit can be issued, the project could conceivably remain non-developable until the utility stub is completed.
March 18, 2022
In this case, the City would be required to (1) pursue statutory foreclosure proceedings against taxable property within the CFD and (2) retain bankruptcy counsel in the event the developer files for bankruptcy as well. Again, as noted before, the City has absolutely no obligation to pay debt service on defaulted CFD bonds. The CFD bonds are solely secured by special taxes on taxable property within the CFD. The disclosure to potential bond investors will make this fact very clear.
Nevertheless, the legal costs of statutory foreclosure and bankruptcy proceedings can be significant. Bankruptcy counsel for the City would be very expensive and could easily run $100,000+ per year. Note however that all of these expenses are reimbursable in full from future special taxes from the CFD. Note also that a Federal bankruptcy court has no authority to amend or extinguish the tax lien for the CFD. This means that it is extremely likely that the City will be repaid in full, with interest, for its expenses in pursuing foreclosure and representing itself in bankruptcy court.
The worst case in the City's municipal advisor's experience with respect to this interim adverse impact on the General Fund is with the Ritter Ranch CFD for the City of Palmdale. Foreclosure and bankruptcy court expenses over a six-year period totaled approximately $1 million.
The City’s municipal bond rating is not at risk for being downgraded because the bond rating companies (Moody’s and Standard and Poor’s) do not consider bonds indebtedness of a Community Facilities District to be an obligation of the City. There is no link between a CFD default and the City’s bond rating.
Potential mitigation measures for this risk will be presented as part of the Statement of Goals and Policies discussion described below.
Risk 4: The CFD issues bonds but the development of the project proceeds very slowly or is stalled for years.
City staff and the City's finance team believe that the "cross-over point" where General Fund revenues from the project exceed General Fund expenses occurs when about 600 units have been constructed and certificates of occupancy have been issued in Point Molate. The question is, how does the City deal with the adverse fiscal impact of the project prior to that point?
This question goes to the core question of the anticipated absorption rate for the Point Molate project. SunCal anticipates build out over a 7-year period, measuring from the time the first building permit can be pulled. City staff and its finance team have not seen any market feasibility or absorption study prepared for SunCal. As noted above, Council members have asked appropriate questions about the likely absorption schedule for the project. However, even if such a study were publicly available now, it would remain very speculative. The time for CFD formation, design, permitting and construction of the utility stub and CFD bond issuance in all likelihood puts the first building permit at least
March 18, 2022
two years if not three years in the future. Any absorption estimates done now may not be applicable for the real estate market two or three years from now.
Procedure for Forming the Point Molate CFD. To form a CFD, the City must undertake the following actions:
1) Make Written Request to Establish City of Richmond Community Facilities District No. 2022-1 (Point Molate) (Attachment 1)
2) Adopt a Statement of Goals and Policies (Attachment 2) 3) Adopt a Resolution of Intention to Establish the City of Richmond Community Facilities District No. 2022-1 (Point Molate), and to Designate Three Improvement Areas therein, to Authorize the Levy of a Special Tax to Pay the Cost of Acquiring or Constructing Certain Facilities, Provide Certain Services and Pay for Certain Incidental Expenses and to Pay Debt Service on Bonded Indebtedness (Attachment 3)
4) Adopt a Resolution of Intention to Incur Bonded Indebtedness Within the City of Richmond Community Facilities District No. 2022-1 (Point Molate), and Each of the Three Improvement Areas Therein (Attachment 4)
5) Hold a public hearing no sooner than 30 days after the adoption of a Resolution of Intention to Establish the City of Richmond Community Facilities District No. 2022-1 (Point Molate)
6) After a public hearing, adopt a Resolution of Formation 7) Hold a landowner vote
8)
The proposed CFD formation schedule for Point Molate shows the City Council approving the Resolution of Intention to Establish the City of Richmond Community Facilities District No. 2022-1 on March 15, 2022. The public hearing would be scheduled and noticed for April 19, 2022. Adoption of the Resolution of Formation and the landowner vote would be considered subsequent to the public hearing, with both actions taking place on April 19. 2022, as well. This schedule would accommodate the formation of a CFD by April 20, 2022, as required by the City of Richmond’s DDA.
Statement of Goals and Policies. State law requires that any public entity considering approval of formation of a CFD must adopt a Statement of Goals and Policies. This statement addresses the following major policies regarding CFDs within the City:
Types of land development for which CFDs may be used. Types of facilities and services that CFDs may be used to fund. Minimum ratio of appraised or assessed value to bond amount ("value-to-lien" ratio) for any bond issuance.
Any requirements for developer cash contributions for funding facilities. Method of bond sale for CFD bonds, e.g., public offering and/or private placement.
Maximum term of any CFD bonds.
Minimum land use entitlements required for issuance of bonds. Security requirements from developers for the issuance of bonds.
March 18, 2022
Minimum requirements for CFD bond sale investor disclosure document. Requirements for an absorption study and an appraisal prior to the issuance of bonds.
The City Council will set all of these requirements through adoption of the Statement of Goals and Policies. The Statement of Goals and Policies is typically adopted at the same meeting that the Resolution of Intention to establish a District is adopted. Again, as noted above, the constraints in the Statement of Goals and Policies are not covered by either the Resolution of Intention or Resolution of Formation in the CFD formation process.
Discussion of proposed draft Statement of Goals and Policies. Particular attention has been given to including language in the Statement of Goals and Policies that makes the Statement robust and protective of the City’s interests.
Section V - Security. This section mandates a 5 -to-1 value to lien ratio (ratio between appraised value and bond amount). In addition, it also requires that the developer post a letter of credit payable to the City equal to two years of debt service on their undeveloped property at the time of bond issuance. This has the effect of severely penalizing the developer and thereby discouraging the developer from making delinquent tax payments or filing bankruptcy.
Section VI - Disclosure Requirements. This section, amongst other things, requires the developer to disclose all of their hist ory with other CFDs, including tax delinquencies and bankruptcies. This has the effect of providing transparency to both the City and bond investors.
Section VII - Other Requirements for Land Developers. This section, amongst other things, provides that the City can require funding by developer cash or from bond proceeds of a $100,000 reserve to fund the City costs in the event of developer tax delinquencies or a bankruptcy. This has the effect of providing cash to the City to fund pursuit of remedies i n the event of tax delinquencies or bankruptcy by the developer.
Section XI - Privately Placed CFD Debt. This section provides that if debt for a CFD is privately placed with investors who absolve the City of any responsibility for disclosure, that the value to lien ratio may be as low as 2.5 -to-1, and the letter of credit requirement can be waived. This has the effect of ensuring that the City has no liability to a bond investor and makes the issuance of bonds without risk to the City.
Resolution of Intent. The Resolution of Intent to form a CFD provides preliminary approval of the following documents or specifics of the CFD:
Rate and Method of Apportionment ("RMA")
Authorized Facilities
March 18, 2022
Authorized Servi ces
Boundaries of the CFD
Boundaries of the Improvement Areas
Maximum Authorized Bond Amount
Rate and Method of Apportionment. The Resolution of Intent gives preliminary approval to the RMAs for three separate Improvement Areas within the proposed Point Molate project. Separate RMAs for each Improvement Area allows the special tax rates to be specifically set for the development likely to occur in each Improvement Area.
There are two types of special taxes described within the RMA: Special Tax A to fund facilities for Point Molate, including the police and fire station, and Special Tax B to fund services. Special Tax A can be increased annually at a rate not to exceed 2 percent per year. Special Tax B can be increased at a rate equal to the Consumer Price Index, but not less than 2 percent per year and not greater than 6 percent per year. Both of these special taxes can be levied for a period of 60 years after Fiscal Year 2021-2022.
Full mitigation of negative fiscal impact in the RMA. In response to comments and questions by the City Council at the study session of February 24, 2022, the following changes to the RMA were made with respect to fiscal impact on the General Fund.
The RMA provides for a special tax on undeveloped property owned by SunCal or other developers to fully mitigate the potential for negative fiscal impact should that occur prior to the full build out of the project. As noted earlier, the maximum negative fiscal impact determined by the need to fully staff the police and fire facility for the first "move- ins" for the project is $5.355 million per year; this cost is estimated to be $5.655 million per year if the City leased rather than purchased rolling stock. The maximum special tax for services ("Special Tax B"), including police and fire, on undeveloped property is $6.3 million. This total special tax potential will inflate at the Consumer Price Index at a rate not less than 2 percent but not greater than 6 percent for the life of the CFD.
The fiscal deficit will be determined annually by a consultant retained by the City, using actual sales prices for residential units and other developed property within the CFD, and using the overa ll fiscal impact model recommended by BAE, the City's own fiscal consultant. This tax levy on undeveloped property to mitigate fiscal impact can be repaid from future special taxes levied on developed property from any surplus special taxes for the Special Tax A (facilities tax) after payment of debt service. This means that reimbursement to the developers for any negative fiscal impact tax levies will comes from the special taxes intended to pay debt service on bonds issued to fund infrastructure costs for the Point Molate project, not the Special Tax B used to fund services for both Point Molate and City residents.
Consequently, a slow build out period is not a fiscal impact risk to the City. It was originally presented at the February 24, 2022, workshop to utilize the $22.5 million purchase revenue towards a “Security Fund” against negative fiscal impact. In
March 18, 2022
response to concerns expressed by members of the Council, the proposed undeveloped property tax in the RMA mitigates the need for the "Security Fund " against negative fiscal impact ; it is not required. The City's finance team estimates that using the Strategic Economics valuation estimates and a 30 -year build-out, the total Special Tax B levy on SunCal or other developers is over $60 million. If so, o nly $15 million would be reimbursed from surplus special taxes after debt service from Special Tax A.
This provision gives the City the maximum authority allowed under the State statute to mitigate adverse fiscal impact from the Point Molate project on the City’s General Fund. The only limit is the 6 percent annual cap on increases to Special Tax B for services in the State statute. If the City’s operating expenses at a rate not only in excess of 6 percent for a multi-year period, and the Cit y’s revenues also increased at significantly lower rate over the same multi -year period, a negative fiscal impact is possible.
Downward Adjustment of Special Tax A. The RMA provides that Special Tax A, the facilities tax, can be adjusted downward to keep the combined tax burden on property within the 2 percent of assessed value limit stated under the DDA. This potential downward adjustment takes place at the time of issuance of each series of bonds are any of the three Improvement Areas. The adjustment is based on an estimate of the actual sales prices estimated for new construction within each Improvement Area securing such bond issues. Special Tax A cannot be adjusted upwards under this process, regardless of what the estimated sales prices are.
Note that Special Tax B, the services tax, cannot be adjusted downwards.
Authorized Facilities . All facilities required by the development are authorized.
Authorized Services. All services possible under State law are authorized.
Boundaries of the CFD and the Improvement Areas. The boundaries of the CFD and the Improvement Areas are consistent with the DDA, and do not include areas designated for open space.
Resolution of Intent to Incur Bonded Indebtedness. This resolution sets the maximum Authorized Bond Amo unt for the CFD. The authorized bond amount is capped at a maximum of $292 million. This figure is considerably larger than the $100 million estimated allocation for facilities in the DDA. This resolution does not obligate the City to issue bonds for the Point Molate CFD. To do so, the City Council would be asked to adopt another resolution in the future: a Resolution of Necessity to Incur Bonded Indebtedness.
The authorized bond amount is capped at a maximum of $292 million for the following reasons:
March 18, 2022
Regardless of what the authorized bond amount is, the maximum amount of debt that can be borrowed is controlled by the maximum special taxes that can be levied through Special Tax A (facilities), as capped in the RMA.
Once adopted, Special Tax A may only be increased by a maximum of 2 percent per year, regardless of any increases in the future costs of the construction of Authorized Facilities.
Authorized bond amounts need to provide for funding of debt service reserve funds, capitalized interest, and cos ts of issuance, in addition to facilities costs.
In the event that there are extra facilities costs that cannot be supported by Special Tax A revenue, those costs must be funded by the developer.
Note that the Authorized Facilities would allow this ext ra authorization to be used to fund any improvements required for adaptation to sea level rise.
The extra bond authorization amount in no way reduces the availability of Special Tax B (services) revenues to mitigate any negative fiscal impact.

STATEMENT OF GOALS AND POLICIES FOR THE USE
OF THE MELLO-ROOS COMMUNITY FACILITIES ACT OF 1982
I. INTRODUCTION
The City of Richmond (the “City”) has developed the following Goals and Policies on debt financing as guidelines to assist concerned parties in followin g the City’s approach to community facilities district debt financing. It is the City’s goal to s upport projects which address a public need and provide a public benefit. Proposed projects requesting community facilities district debt financing will be evaluated to determine if such financing is financially viable and in the best interest of the City and current and future City and project residents. These Goals and Policies are designed to comply with Section 53312.7 of the Government Code.
The City will consider applications requesting the formation of community facilities districts and the issuance of bonds to finance eligible public facilities pursuant to the Mello-Roos Act. The City reserves the right to request any additional reports, informati on or studies reasonably necessary in evaluating these applications.
All City and any consultant costs incurred in evaluating applic ations requesting the establishment of Districts (as defined below) will be paid by t he applicant(s) by advance deposit increments or as otherwise agreed in writing by the City. The City shall not incur any non-reimbursable expense for processing such applications. Expenses not chargea ble to the District shall be borne by the applicant.
As a result of a judgment against the City, (i) that certain Di sposition and Development Agreement for Point Molate Mixed-use Development, dated as of September 30, 2020, by and between the City and Winehaven Legacy LLC, and (iii) that certain Development Agreement, by and between the City and Winehaven Legacy LLC, dated as of October 21, 2020, the City was obligated to form a community facilities district encompassing a portion of the area formerly known as the Point Molate Naval Fuel Depot. It is the intent of the City that these Goals and Policies govern the Point Molate CFD in addition to the other Districts formed within the City.

III. ELIGIBLE PUBLIC FACILITIES, SERVICES AND PRIORITIES It shall be a goal and policy of the City that Public Facilitie s eligible to be financed must be owned by a public agency or public utility and must have a useful life of at least five (5) years. In any event, no bonds shall be issued with a maturity date greater than the average useful life of the facilities or improvements being financed. The development proposed within a District must be consistent with the City’s general plan, if any, and must have received any required zoning or specific plan approvals.
The list of Public Facilities eligible to be financed by a District include, but are not limited to, the following:
Streets, highways and bridges
Street lighting
Traffic signals and safety lighting
Parks
Governmental facilities
Sanitary sewer facilities
Storm drain facilities

3 4871-6356-2503v6/200952-0001
community facilities agreements with other public entities for the purpose of financing any Public Facilities.
The foregoing list of eligible Public Facilities may include facilities included as part of the City’s or other public agencies’ development impact fee programs to the extent permitted by the Mello- Roos Act.
When it is determined by the City that only impact fees are to be financed by a series of Bonds, the City may collect a premium of the total fees to be financed. The amount of such premium shall be determined by the City. The City may use the premium to finance Public Facilities and improvements directly benefiting and identified by the City as the most nece ssary to serve the specific needs of the applicable District.
Additionally, a District may finance any one or more of the typ es of services specified in Section 53313 of the Act. Priority for District financing shal l be given to services provided by or directly benefiting the City and, if multiple services are to be financed, with no service having priority over another service; provided, however, the City has final determination as to any service’s eligibility for financing. The City shall not finance services on behalf of other public agencies.
IV. CREDIT QUALITY REQUIRED OF BOND ISSUES
In evaluating a proposed Bond issuance, it shall be a goal and policy of the City that the City’s independent financing consultant, special tax consultant and/or a municipal advisor has reviewed and approved the proposed issuance of the Bonds.
Unless waived by the City Council, or as it relates to privately placed debt, as provided for in Section XI below, prior to the issuance of Bonds, the following credit criteria shall be satisfied: the ratio of the value of all parcels of property subject to the special tax securing the Bonds to the amount of outstanding community facilities district or assessment dist rict bonds attributable to such parcels (the “Value-to-Lien Ratio”) may not be less than five-to-one (5 : 1 ) . T h e f a i r m a r k e t v a l u e o f t h e property within the District or improvement area for purposes of determining the foregoing ratio will be determined based on the appraised value of the property or the assessed value of the property based on the valuation made by an appraiser selected by the City, with a valuation date preceding the issuance of the Bonds by not more than ninety (90) days, and as described more fully in Section IX.
V. SECURITY
It shall be a goal and policy of the City to require sufficient security in connection with the development within each District. To this end:
A. Value-to-Lien Ratios and Status of Development. Unless waived by the City Council, or as it relates to privately placed debt, as provided for in Section XI below, prior to the issuance of Bonds, the following credit criteria shall be satisfied: the ratio of the aggregated total value of all parcels of property subject to the special tax securing the Bonds to the amount of outstanding community facilities district or assessment district bonds attributable to such parcels (the “Value-to-Lien Ratio”) may not be less than five-to-one (5:1). The fair market value of the property within the District or improvement area for purposes of determining the foregoing ratio will be determined based on the assessed value of the property or the appraised value of the property based on the appraisal made by an appraiser selected ATTACHMENT 2 - EXHIBIT A
4 4871-6356-2503v6/200952-0001
by the City with a valuation date within ninety (90) days of th e issuance of the Bonds, as more fully described in Section VII.
B. Letter of credit requirement. Unless waived by the City Cou ncil, in cases where the aggregate maximum special taxes on taxable developed property within a CFD directly securing a CFD bond issue is less than 80% of maximum annual debt service on t hat bond issue, the developers or owners of the undeveloped property securing that bond issue will be required to post a letter of credit.
The amount of the letter of credit shall be equal to 2 years of the maximum annual debt service on the bond issue, less 2 years of the maximum special taxes on developed taxable property securing the bond issue. Developed property shall be determined based on proof of Permit closure and/or Certificates of Occupancy. The letter of credit shall be from a bank or other financial institution rated A or better by Standard & Poor's or Moody's. The amount of the letter of credi t may be reduced annually, based on the sizing formula described above.
VI. DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
It shall be a goal and policy of the City to require sufficient developer disclosure and compliance with all applicable federal securities laws in connection with each District. To this end:
A. Disclosure Requirement for Developers. The applicant will be required to demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the City, that there will be full disclosur e of the Mello-Roos special taxes and any other special tax, assessment, overlapping special taxes or assessment of other districts, or other liens on individual parcels to existing and future property owners, and to prospective purchasers of property including interim purchasers and sales to merchant builders (Section 53341.5 of the Government Code). In addition to all requirements of law, the City shall require the applicant to provide disclosure of such information as the City deems appropriate to the purchasers of property within the District or improvement area, with respect to the existence of the District or improvement area, maximum and/or backup special taxes to be levied within the District or improvement area, facilities to be constructed, the foreclosure process and the terms and conditions of Bond is sues on behalf of the District. Such disclosure shall include home buyer notifications requiring signature prior to home purchases, as well as methods to notify subsequent home purchasers.
The land developer shall be required to disclose (a) all prior experience with CFDs in California, including subsidiaries or affiliated companies, (b) any tax delinquencies with respect to any such prior CFDs, (c) any foreclosures against their properties within such prior CFDs, and any bankruptcy filings by the land developer, including subsidiaries and affiliated companies, with respect to any such prior CFDs.
B. Compliance with Federal Securities Laws. The City shall use all reasonable means to ensure compliance with applicable federal securities laws in connectio n with the issuance of debt and the provision of annual information regarding any District establis hed by the City with respect to which Bonds have been issued, including requiring any developer in a District or improvement area who is material to the Bond issue to transmit appropriate information to the City or its designee for disclosure to Bond investors.
VII. OTHER REQUIREMENTS FOR LAND DEVELOPERS
The City may make the following requirements from land developers with respect to the issuance of any bonds secured by special taxes from a CFD:
ATTACHMENT 2 - EXHIBIT A
5 4871-6356-2503v6/200952-0001
A. The land developer may be required to fund all major projects initially, and then be reimbursed in full or in part by bond proceeds through an acquisition agreement.
B. A reserve for future foreclosure and/or bankruptcy expense s related to the applicable District of at least $100,000 shall be funded by closing on the first series of Bonds from either costs of issuance or a developer cash contribution. If no foreclosure actions or bankruptcy actions are required prior to refunding or pay off of the first series of Bonds, such reserve can be released back to the developer, if funded by the developer, or re-allocated to other purposes, if funded by costs of issuance.
C. The City may charge a fee of up to $100,000, payable from p roceeds of the bond issue, to reimburse itself for the costs of staff time and other expenses related to the issuance of bonds for a CFD.
VIII. EQUITY OF TAX ALLOCATION FORMULAS
It shall be a goal and policy of the City that the rate and method of apportionment of the special tax must be both reasonable and equitable in apportioning the c osts of the Public Facilities to be financed to each of the parcels within the boundaries of the pr oposed District or improvement area.
The City prefers that this apportionment of costs be based on the benefit that each parcel is to receive from the Public Facilities.
The rate and method of apportionment of the special tax is to p rovide for the administrative expenses of the proposed District or improvement area, including, but not limited to, those expenses necessary for the enrollment and collection of the special tax and Bond administration.
All property not otherwise exempted by the Mello-Roos Act or th e rate and method of apportionment of special tax from taxation shall be subject to the special tax. At the time of formation of the District or improvement area, exemptions from the special tax may be given to parcels which are publicly owned, are held by a property owners’ association, are used for a public purpose such as open space, are affected by public utility easements making impractical their utilization for other than the purposes set forth in the easements, or have insufficient value to support bonded indebtedness.
The annual special tax levy on each residential parcel develope d to its final land use shall be approximately equal each year, except that a variation for administrative expenses and delinquencies will be allowed. It is further the policy of the City to comply with the provisions of Section 53321 of the Mello-Roos Act with respect to the escalation of maximum special taxes.
The maximum annual special tax, together with ad valorem property taxes, special assessments or taxes for an overlapping financing district, or any other charges, taxes, or fees payable from and secured by the property, including potential charges, taxes, or fees relating to authorized but unissued debt of public entities other than the City, in relation to the expected assessed value of each parcel upon completion of the private improvements to the parcel is of great importance to the City in evaluating the proposed financing.
It is the objective of the City that maximum special taxes or assessments on residential owner- occupied property, when taken together with ad valorem taxes, any other special taxes levied pursuant to the Mello-Roos Act and assessments applicable to such property, do not exceed in any year in which ATTACHMENT 2 - EXHIBIT A
6 4871-6356-2503v6/200952-0001
bonds are issued for the applicable District or improvement area two percent (2%) of the greater of the appraised value or assessed value of such property.
In evaluating whether this objective can be met, the City will consider the aggregate public service needs for the proposed project. It will consider what public improvements the applicant is proposing to be financed in relation to these aggregate needs and decide what is an appropriate amount to extend in public financing to the identified public improvements.
This evaluation will be based on information obtained from other affected taxing entities that have jurisdiction to impose a levy on the proposed project.
The total maximum annual special taxes that can be collected fr om taxable property in a District or improvement area, taking into account any potential changes in land use or development density or rate, and less all projected administrative expenses , must be equal to at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the gross annual debt service on any Bonds issued by or on behalf of the District or improvement area in each year that said Bonds will remain outstanding.
The rate and method of apportionment of the special tax may include a provision or a backup tax to protect against any changes in development that would result in insufficient special tax revenues to meet the debt service requirements of the district. Such ba ckup tax shall be structured in such a manner that it shall not violate any provisions of the Mello-Roos Act regarding cross-collateralization limitations for residential properties.
A formula to provide for the prepayment of the special tax may be provided; however, neither the City nor the District shall be obligated to pay for the cost of determining the prepayment amount which is to be paid by the applicant.
IX. APPRAISALS
It shall be a goal and policy of the City to establish a uniform set of standards applicable to all appraisals undertaken in connection with the development of a District. To this end:
A. Definition of Appraisal. An appraisal is a written statement i ndependently and impartially prepared by a qualified appraiser setting forth an opinion of defined value of an adequately described property as of a specific date, supported by the presentation and analysis of relevant market information.
B. Absorption Study and Discounted Present Value Cash F low Analysis. Any appraisal for a CFD financed land development project with an estimated p roject build out schedule of more than one year shall include the following:
(1) The estimated build out period shall be based on an absorp tion study by an experienced consultant selected by the City and contracting wit h the City. The cost of the absorption study shall be paid for by the land developer.
(2) One of the bases for determining the appraised value of pr operty within a District shall be a discounted present value cash flow analysis based on the results of the absorption study.
C. Standards of Appraisal. The format and level of documentation for an appraisal depend on the complexity of the appraisal problem. A detailed appraisal shall be prepared for complex ATTACHMENT 2 - EXHIBIT A
7 4871-6356-2503v6/200952-0001
appraisal problems. A detailed appraisal shall reflect nationa lly-recognized appraisal standards, including, to the extent appropriate, the Uniform Appraisal Sta ndards for Federal Land Acquisition.
An appraisal must contain sufficient documentation, including valuation data and the appraiser’s analysis of the data, to support his or her opinion of value. At a minimum, the appraisal shall contain the following items:
(1) The purpose and/or the function of the appraisal, a definition of the estate being appraised, and a statement of the assumptions and limiting conditions affecting the appraisal.
(2) An adequate description of the physical characteristics of the property being appraised, location, zoning, present use, an analysis of the highest and best use. (3) All relevant and reliable approaches to value consistent with commonly accepted professional appraisal practices. If a discounted cash flow analysis is used, it should be supported with at least one other valuation method such as a market approach using sales that are at the same stage of land development. If more than one approach is utilized, there shall be an analysis and reconciliation of approaches to value that are sufficient to support the appra iser’s opinion of value.
(4) A description of comparable sales, including a description of a ll relevant physical, legal, and economic factors such as parties to the transaction, source, and method of financing, and verification by a party involved in the transaction. (5) A statement of the value of the real property.
(6) The effective date of valuation, date of appraisal, signature, and certification of the appraiser.
D. Conflict of Interest. No appraiser or review appraiser shall have any interest direct or indirect in the real property being appraised for the Agency th at would in any way conflict with the preparation or review of the appraisal. Compensation for makin g an appraisal shall not be based on the amount of the valuation.
E. Community Facilities District Appraisal Premises. The valuatio n of proposed community facilities districts should be based on three premises:
(1) Raw Land Value (Premise No. 1). The total land within the proj ect is valued “as is”
(a) With any existing infrastructure.
(b) Without proposed infrastructure being financed.
(c) With existing parcel configuration.
(d) Considering planned densities allowed by the specific plan of the project.
ATTACHMENT 2 - EXHIBIT A
8 4871-6356-2503v6/200952-0001
This is a typical type of land valuation.
(2) Project Build-Out Value (Premise No. 2). The total land within the project is valued under projected conditions:
(a) With proposed infrastructure being financed completely. (b) At the planned densities allowed by the specific plan. (c) Land development is at the stage of being marketed to merch ant builders or tentative tract maps ready to be filed.
This is a projected value based on project plans predicated on market conditions continuing as projected.
(3) Bulk Land Value (Premise No. 3). The total land within the project is valued under projected conditions:
(a) With proposed infrastructure being financed completely. (b) With existing parcel configuration.
(c) Considering planned densities allowed by the specific plan of the project.
X. POINT MOLATE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT
To the extent the formation, levy of special taxes, issuance of bonds, or other provisions with respect to the Point Molate CFD as required pursuant to the ter ms of the Point Molate Development Agreements and any acquisition or other agreement executed by the City in connection the Point Molate CFD is inconsistent with these Goals and Policies, the p rovisions of these Goals and Polices that are inconsistent therewith are hereby waived with respect to the Point Molate CFD.
XI. PRIVATELY PLACED DEBT
If determined to be in its best interests, the City may cause the issuance of Bonds by a District on a private placement basis. City staff shall be delegated the authority to negotiate and finalize the terms of any such privately placed debt. However, the followin g requirements shall apply to all privately placed debt, unless otherwise waived pursuant to Section XI below:
A. Privately placed debt shall only be sold to investors who sign an Investor Letter in form and substance acceptable to the City.
B. After the issuance of any privately placed debt, such debt s hall only be transferred to subsequent transferees who sign an Investor Letter in form and substance acceptable to the City.
C. Unless waived by the City Council, prior to the issuance of the privately placed debt, the following credit criteria shall be satisfied: the ratio of the aggregated total value of all parcels of property subject to the special tax securing the Bonds to the amount of outstanding ATTACHMENT 2 - EXHIBIT A
9 4871-6356-2503v6/200952-0001
community facilities district or assessment district bonds attr ibutable to such parcels (the “Value-to-Lien Ratio”) may not be less than two and 1/2-to-one (2.5:1).
D. No letter of credit, as described in Section V, shall be required for a private placement that otherwise meets the criteria of this section.
XII. EXCEPTIONS TO THESE POLICIES
The City may find in limited and exceptional instances that a waiver of any of the above stated policies, or portions thereof, is reasonable given identified special City benefits to be derived from such waiver. Such waivers are granted only by action of the City Council based upon specific public purpose and/or health and safety findings.

RESOLUTION NO. ___
RESOLUTION OF INTENTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RICHMOND, CALIFORNIA, TO ESTABLISH THE CITY OF RICHMOND COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2022-1 ( POINT MOLATE), AND TO
DESIGNATE THREE IMPROVEMENT AREAS THEREIN, TO AUTHORIZE THE
LEVY OF A SPECIAL TAX TO PAY THE COST OF ACQUIRING OR
CONSTRUCTING CERTAIN FACILITIES, PROVIDE CERTAIN SERVICES AND
PAY FOR CERTAIN INCIDENTAL EXPENSES AND TO PAY DEBT SERVICE
ON BONDED INDEBTEDNESS
WHEREAS, the City of Richmond, California (the “City”) is the fee title owner of 100% of the real property (the “Property”) described in (i) Exhibit A-1 to that certain Disposition and Development Agreement for Point Molate Mixed -Use Development, by and between the City and Winehaven Le gacy LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Winehaven”), dated as of September 30, 2020 (the “DDA”) , and (ii) Exhibit A to that certain Development Agreement, by and between the City and Winehaven, dated as of October 21, 2020 (the “DA” and together with the DDA, the “Development Agreements”); and
WHEREAS, the Property was formerly within the boundaries of Point Molate Naval Fuel Depot (“Naval Fuel Depot”) prior to its closure and was acquired from the United States, subject to conditions during base closure and is owned by the City; and WHEREAS the Navy Fuel Depot closed in 1995 and since disposition to the City, the City has been engaged in various processes to determine how to use the land. One project proposed by the Guidiville Band of Pomo Indians and Upstream Point Molate, LLC (collectively “Upstream”) included a Casino and went through environmental review in 2011 but was turned down by the voters in an advisory measure wh ich caused the Council to decline the project and led to litigation. The lawsuit resulted in a settlement (“Amended Judgment”) where the City agreed to consider other developers over a specified period by the “City Sales Deadline” , the City would sell the property and split the proceeds with Upstream . If no sale occurred in that time, Upstream could purchase the property for $400 and had four years to sell or develop the Property and in such case, it would share proceeds with the City. The City Sales D eadline where Upstream could exercise the Option to purchase is on May 21, 2022 if the City does not accomplish a sale by then; and
WHEREAS, as the DA provides that the City will cooperate with Winehaven by forming a community facilities district ( “CFD”) meeting certain parameters, and the DA requires the Resolution of Formation must be adopted by April 20 , 2022 to meet statutory requirements and the City Sales Deadline. The Council has a meeting set for April 19, 2022. The CFD procedures require 30 days before public hearing on the Resolution of Formation , that the legislative body adopt a Resolution of Intent calling the public hearing . The date for consideration of the Resolution of Intent is set for the City Council’s regular meeting of March 15, 2022; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms an d conditions set forth in the Development Agreements, subsequent to formation of the CFD (as defined below), the City intends to convey the Property to Winehaven which will develop the Property as set forth therein, subject to the provisions hereof; and
2 WHEREAS, the Development Agreements provide for the establishment of a CFD, and multiple improvement areas therein, to provide for financing of certain facilities and services described therein, but the DA clearly established that while the City would cooperate with developer in the establishment of one or more CFDs, it stated that the City will not be obligated to pay any cost related to formation or implementation of any Financing Mechanism from its General Fund (at Section 4.2 Assessment Financing); and WHEREAS, the Resolution of Intent does not mandate that the City form the CFD, as the matter is a public hearing and the Council is entitled to consider all evidence, documentation and testimony produced at the hearing and make such decision as shall be in the City’s interest; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has had numerous studies and presentations on the formation of the CFD, including on its regular agendas and at a special study session held on February 24, 2022, and has studies presented by Winehaven’s financial consultant, the City’s finance team, and even studies done by independent private parties —with significant conflicting information. This information has been discussed with Winehaven and led to several changes in Winehaven’s proposals. Issues have included the projected costs of the infrastructure to be built, projections as to the possible value of the different housing products, what is a reasonable time to project the possible construction and sales of the units, what the values will be, wh at inflation cost and revenue escalations should be used, what the City’s operational costs would be in operating fire and police facilities necessary to protect pubic health and safety , and similar issues. There have been significant differences in opinion on these and other issues; and WHEREAS, due to the pending City Sales Deadline stemming from the Amended Judgment in the Upstream matter, the City needs to adopt a Resolution of Intent on March 15, and as such action does not compel the Council to Adopt a Resolution of Formation on the April 19 as it is a public hearing matter where evidence can be presented, the City Council can adopt the Resolution of Intent without prejudice to its ability to consider the Resolution of Formation entirely on its merits. In that vein, the City Council is free to consider all the variable s in determining if the CFD as established has the potential to impact the General Fund, but also has the ability to consider other related matters such as the likelihood that Winehaven can perform its obligations under the DA, the performance to date of all provisio ns of the DA, Winehaven’s financial sources and all other relevant information relevant to the carrying out and performance of the DA, the DDA and other obligations of Winehaven; and WHEREAS, for all the above considerations, the City will continue to mon itor and discuss with Winehaven the foregoing issues and related issues during the period up and until consideration of the Resolution of Formation and invites those in the public who are interested to look into the information which has been developed con cerning the CFD and the infrastructure financing and funding of services and operations and submit their information and opinions at the hearing on April 19, 2022; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 53318(a) of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, as amended, commencing with Section 53311 of the Government Code (the “Act”), the City Council of the City (the “City Council”) has received a written request from two of its City Councilpersons to commence proceedings to form a community facilities district with boundaries coterminous with the Property to be known as the “City of Richmond Community Facilities District No. 2022 -1 (Point Molate)” (the “Community Facilities District” or “CFD No. 2022 -1”), and to designate three improvement areas therein, t o finance (1) the purchase, construction, expansion, improvement or rehabilitation of the facilities described in Exhibit B hereto (which

WHEREAS, it is the intention of the City Council to consider f inancing the Facilities, Services and the Incidental Expenses through the formation of the Community Facilities District, and the three improvement areas therein, and the sale of bonds (excluding the Services) in an amount not to exceed $ 292,000,000, consisting of $61,000,000 for Improvement Area No. 1 of the Community Facilities District, $ 47,000,000 for Improvement Area No. 2 of the Community Facilities District and $ 184,000,000 for Improvement Area No. 3 of the Community Facilities District (collectively, the “Obligations”) and the levy of a special tax in each improvement area to finance Facilities directly and to pay debt service on the Obligations relating to the applicable improvement area , provided that the aggregate bond authorization and special tax levy are approved at an election to be held for each improvement area therein; and WHEREAS, the legal descriptions for Improvement Area No. 1 of the Community Facilities District, Improvement Area No. 2 of the Community Facilities District and Improvement Area No. 3 of the Community Facilities District are included in Exhibit A hereto.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RICHMOND THAT:
Section 1. Each of the above recitals is true and correct.
Section 2. Intention. The City Council declares its intention to conduct proceedings pursuant to the Act for the establishment of the Community Facilities District with the exterior boundaries coterminous with the Property , and to designate the three improvement areas therein subject to the provisions hereof and that the financing of the CFD not impact or burden the City’s General Fund . It is further proposed that the boundaries of the Community Facilities District, and the three improvement areas the rein, shall be as described in Exhibit A hereto.
The City Clerk is hereby directed to sign the original boundary map of the Community Facilities District and record it with all proper endorsements thereon with the County Recorder of the County of Orange within 15 days after the adoption of this resolution, all as required by Section 3111 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California.
Until the Property is conveyed to Winehaven, the Property owned by the City that is intended to be conveyed to Winehaven will be subject to the special tax of the Community Facilities District on the same basis as private property within the Community Facilities District , and the City hereby affirmatively waives any defense based on the fact of public ownership of the Property currently owned by the City, to any action to foreclose on such Property in the event of nonpayment of the special tax imposed by the Community Facilities District.
4 Section 3. Name of the Community Facilities District . The name of the propo sed Community Facilities District shall be “City of Richmond Community Facilities District No. 2022- 1 (Point Molate).”
Section 4. Types of Facilities and Services to be Financed by the Community Facilities District. The Facilities proposed to be provided within the Community Facilities District are facilities authorized by the Act. The City is authorized by law to construct, acquire, own and operate the City Facilities and to provide the Services described in Exhibit B hereto for the benefit of the Commu nity Facilities District. EBMUD is authorized by law to construct, acquire, own and operate the EBMUD Facilities described in Exhibit B hereto. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the description of the Facilities, Services and Incidental E xpenses herein is sufficiently informative to allow taxpayers within the Community Facilities District to understand what the funds of the Community Facilities District may be used to finance, the Facilities, Services and Incidental Expenses expected to be incurred, including the cost of planning and designing the Facilities, the costs of forming the Community Facilities District, and the three improvement areas therein, issuing bonds, levying and collecting a special tax within each improvement area of the Community Facilities District and the annual administration costs of the Community Facilities District. The City Council hereby finds that the proposed Facilities and Services are necessary to meet increased demands placed upon the City and EBMUD as a result of development expected to occur in the Community Facilities District. The Facilities may be acquired from one or more of the property owners as completed facilities or may be constructed by or on behalf of the City or EBMUD and paid for with special taxes or bond proceeds. Any portion of the Facilities may be financed through a lease or lease -purchase arrangement if the City or EBMUD hereafter determines that such arrangement is of benefit to the City or EBMUD.
Section 5. Special Taxes . Except where funds are otherwise available, it is the intention of the City Council to levy annually in accordance with the procedures contained in the Act a special tax, secured by a continuing lien against all non -exempt real property in each improvement area of the Community Facilities District, sufficient t o pay for the Facilities, Services and Incidental Expenses and the principal and interest and other periodic costs of Obligations issued to finance the Facilities and Incidental Expenses, including the establishment and replenishment of any reserve funds d eemed necessary by the City, and any remarketing, credit enhancement and liquidity facility fees (including such fees for instruments which serve as the basis of a reserve fund in lieu of cash) of the Community Facilities District. The rate and method of apportionment for and manner of collection of the special tax in each of Improvement Area No. 1 of the Community Facilities District , Improvement Area No. 2 of the Community Facilities District and Improvement Area No. 3 of the Community Facilities District is described in detail in Exhibit s C, D and E attached hereto (which attachment s are incorporated herein by this reference). Exhibit s C, D and E allow each landowner within the Community Facilities District to estimate the maximum amount of special taxe s that may be levied annually against each parcel to be included in the applicable improvement area.
If special taxes within an improvement area of the Community Facilities District are levied against any parcel used for private residential purposes, (i) the maximum special tax rate shall not be increased except to the extent permitted in the applicable rate and method included as Exhibits C, D or E hereto, (ii) such special tax shall not be levied later than the 2081-82 Fiscal Year for the component of the special tax used to finance Facilities and Incidental Expenses and for as long as necessary to meet the special tax requirement for Services, and (iii) under no circumstances shall such special tax be increased in any fiscal year as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other parcel or parcels within such
5 improvement area by more than ten percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that fiscal year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults.
The special tax in each improvement area is based on the cost of making the Facilities and Services available to each parcel of real property within such improvement area. The City Council hereby determines the rate and method of apportionments of the special tax set forth in Exhibits C, D and E to be reasonable. Each special tax is apportioned to each parcel on the foregoing basis pursuant to Section 53325.3 of the Act; and such special tax is not on or based upon the value of real property. In the event that a portion of the property within an improvement area shall become for any reason exempt, wholly or partially, from the levy of the special tax specified in Exhibits C, D or E, as applicable, the City Council shall, on behalf of the Community Facilities District, cause the applicable special tax levy to be increased, subject to the limitation of the maximum special tax for a parcel as set forth in Exhibit s C, D or E, as applicable, to the extent necessary upon the remaining property within such improvement area which is not exempt in order to yield the special tax revenues required for the purposes described in this Section. The obligation to pay special taxes may be prepaid as provided in the rate and method of apportionment set forth in each of Exhibits C, D and E , as such rate and method may be amended hereafter.
Section 6. Public Hearing . A combined public hearing (the “Hearing”) on the establishment of the Community Facilities District, and the designation of three improvement areas therein, and for each improvement area, the proposed rate and method of apportionment of the special tax and the proposed issuance of Obligations to finance the Facilities and the Incidental Expenses shall be held at 6:30 p.m., or as soon thereafter as practicable, on April 19, 2022, at the City Council’s Chambers, 450 Civic Center Plaza, Richmond, California. If the City Council determines to form the Community Facilities District, and designate the three improvement areas therein , a special election will be held in each improvement area to authorize the issuance of the Obligations and the levy of the special tax in accordance with the procedures contained in Government Code Section 53326. If such election is held, the proposed vo ting procedure at the election will be a landowner vote with each landowner (including the City pursuant to Section 53317 (f) of the Act ) who is the owner of record of land within each improvement area at the close of the Hearing, or the authorized represen tative thereof, having one vote for each acre or portion thereof owned within such improvement area.
Ballots for the special election may be distributed by mail or by personal service.
At the time and place set forth above for the Hearing, the City Counci l will receive testimony as to whether the Community Facilities District , and the three improvement areas therein, shall be established , whether special taxes shall be levied in accordance with the proposed rate and method of apportionment of the special t ax within the applicable improvement area, and whether Obligations shall be issued within the applicable improvement area to finance Facilities and Incidental Expenses of the Community Facilities District.
At the time and place set forth above for the Hearing, any interested person, including all persons owning lands or registered to vote within each improvement area of the Community Facilities District, may appear and be heard.

Section 9. Advances of Funds. The City may accept advances of funds or work -in- kind from any source, including, but not limited to, private persons or private entities, for any authorized purpose under the Act, including, but not limited to, paying any cost incurred by the City in creating the Community Facilities District. The City may enter into an agreement with the person or entity advancing the funds or work -in-kind for the Community Facilities District , to repay all or a portion of the funds advanced, or to reimburse the person or entity for the value, or cost, whichever is less, of the work-in-kind, as determined by the City Council, with or without interest.
Section 10. Maximum Bonded Indebtedness . The reasonably expected maximum aggregate principal amount of the Obligations is Two Hundred Ninety -Two Million Dollars ($292,000,000), consisting of Sixty-One Million Dollars ($61,000,000) for Improvement Area No. 1 of the Community Facilities District, Forty-Seven Million Dollars ($ 47,000,000) for Improvement Area No. 2 of the Community Facilities District and One Hundred Eighty -Four Million Dollars ($184,000,000) for Improvement Area No. 3 of the Community Facilities District.
Section 11. Reservation of Rights. Except to the extent limited in any bond resolution or trust indenture related to the issuance of Obligations, the City Council here by reserves to itself all rights and powers set forth in Section 53344.1 of the Act (relating to tenders in full or partial payment).
7 Section 12. Effective Date. This Resolution shall be effective upon its adoption.

Property owners may prepay and permanently satisfy the Special Tax A Obligation by a cash settlement with the City as permitted under Government Code Section 53344. The Special Tax B obligation may not be prepaid.
The Special Tax A Obligation applicable t o an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, Approved Property, or Undeveloped Property that has been included in a Final Map may be prepaid and the obligation to pay the Special Tax A for such Assessor’s Parcel permanently satisfied as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made with respect to a particular Assessor’s Parcel 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 eligible to prepay the Sp ecial Tax A Obligation shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay and designate or identify the company or agency that will be acting as the escrow agent, if any. The CFD Administrator shall provide the owner with a statement of the Prepayment Amount for such Assessor’s Parcel within thirty (30) days of the request and may charge a reasonable fee for providing this service. Prepayment must be made at least 60 days prior to any redemption date for Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes, unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee and the City.
01337.0021/775248.1
34 The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated for each applicable Assessor’s Parcel or group of Assessor’s Parcels as follows (capitalized terms are defined below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Future Facilities Amount
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
less Capitalized Interest Credit
Equals: 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 Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, compute the Maximum S pecial Tax A for the Assessor’s Parcel as though all Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property within CFD No. 2022-1 IA 1 have been built out. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax A 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 Approved Property or Undevelo ped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax A for the Assessor’s Parcel.
3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax A derived pursuant to paragraph 2 by the estimated total amount of Special Tax A that could be lev ied at build out of all Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property based on the applicable Maximum Special Tax A for all such Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property not including any Parcels for which the Special Tax A 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 Redemptio n Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”).
6. Determine the Future Facilities Costs.
7. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 6 to determine the portion of the Future Facilities Costs applicable to the Assessor’s Parcel (the “Future Facilities Amount”).
8. Determine the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds on which Bonds can be redeemed from Special Tax A prepayments.
01337.0021/775248.1
35 9. Determine the Special Tax A amount levied on the Assessor’s Parcel in t he current Fiscal Year which have not yet been paid.
10. Determine the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the investment of the Bond Redemption Amount and the Redemption Premium from the date of prepayment until the redemption d ate 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 associated with the prepayment, including the cost to invest the Prepayment Amount, the cost of redeeming the Outstanding Bonds, and the cost of recording notices to evidence the prepayment of the Special Tax A Obligation for the Assessor’s Parce l and the redemption of Outstanding Bonds (the “Administrative Fees and Expenses”).
13. The reserve fund credit (the “Reserve Fund Credit”) shall equal the lesser of: (a) the expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any, associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of th e prepayment 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 and/or pr incipal payment following the current Fiscal Year, a capitalized interest credit shall be calculated by multiplying the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest fund after such first interest and/or principal payment (the “Capitalized Interest Credit”).
15. The amount to prepay the Special Tax A Obligation 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 and 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. 2022-1 IA 1.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem an amount other than a $5,000 increment of Outstanding Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000 or integral multiple thereof will be retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to redeem Outstanding Bonds to be used with the next prepayment of Outstanding Bonds.
The CFD Administrator will confirm that all previously levied Special Taxes have been paid in full. With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel for which the Special Tax A Obligation is prep aid
01337.0021/775248.1
36 in full, once the CFD Administrator has confirmed that all previously levied Special Taxes have been paid, the Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of the Special Tax A and the rele ase of the Special Tax A lien on such Assessor’s Parcel, and the obligation of the owner of such Assessor’s Parcel to pay the Special Tax A shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax A prepayment shall be allowed unless the aggregate amount of Maximum Special Tax A less Administrative Expenses that may be levied on Taxable Property, respectively, after the proposed prepayment is at least 1.1 times the Debt Service on all Outstanding Bonds in each Fiscal Year.
2. Partial Prepayment
The Special Tax on an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, Approved Property, or Undeveloped Property may be partially prepaid. The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in SectionF.1; except that a “Partial Prepayment Amount” shall be calculated according to the following formula:
𝐏𝐏 = (𝐏𝐄 − 𝐀) × 𝐅 + 𝐀
The terms above have the following meanings:
PP = The Partial Prepayment Amount
PE = The Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section F.1 F = The percentage of the Special Tax A Obligation that the owner of the Assessor’s Parcel(s) is partially prepaying
A = The Prepayment Administrative Fees and Expenses from Section F.1 The owner of any Assessor’s Parcel who desires such partial prepayment shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner’s intent to partially prepay the Special Tax A Obligation, (ii) the percentage by which the Special Tax A Obligation shall be prepaid, and (iii) the company or agency that will be acting as the escrow agent, if any. The CFD Administrator shall pro vide the owner with a statement of the amount required for the partial prepayment of the Special Tax A Obligation for an Assessor’s Parcel within sixty (60) days of the request and may charge a reasonable fee for providing this service.
With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel that is partially prepaid, the City shall (i) distribute the funds remitted to it according to SectionF.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of CFD No. 2022 - 1 IA1 that there has been a partial prepayment of the Special Tax A Obligation an d that a portion of the Special Tax with respect to such Assessor’s Parcel, equal to the outstanding percentage (1.00 - F) of the Maximum Special Tax A, shall continue to be levied on such Assessor’s Parcel.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no partial prepay ment shall be allowed unless the aggregate amount of Maximum Special Tax A less Administrative Expenses that may be levied on Taxable Property, respectively, after the proposed partial prepayment is at least

Tax exempt status for the purpose of this paragraph will be assigned by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order in which property becomes eligible for classification as Exempt Property.
If the use of an Assessor’s Parcel of Exempt Property changes so that such Assessor’s Parcel is no longer classified as one of the uses set forth in the first paragraph of Section I above that would make such Assessor’s Parcel eligible to be classified as Exempt Property, such Assessor’s Parcel shall cease to be classified as Exempt Property and shall be deemed to be Taxable Property.
J. APPEALS
Any landowner who pays the Special Tax and claims the amount of the Special Tax levied on his or her Assessor’s Parcel is in error shall first consult with the CFD Administrator regarding such error not later than thirty -six (36) months after first having paid the first installment of the Special Tax that is disputed.

Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Future Facilities Amount
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
less Capitalized Interest Credit
Equals: 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 Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Special Tax A for the Assessor’s Parcel as though a ll Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property within CFD No. 2022-1 IA 2 have been built out. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax A 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 Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax A for the Assessor’s Parcel.
3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax A derived pursuant to paragraph 2 by the estimated total amount of Special Tax A that could be levied at build out of all Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property based on the applicable Maximum Special Tax A for all such Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property not including any Parcels for which the Special Tax A Obligation has been previously prepaid.
4. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to para graph 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 Costs.
7. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 6 to determine the portion of the Future Facilities Costs applicable to the Assessor’s Parcel (the “Future Facilities Amount”).
8. Determine the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fisca l Year until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds on which Bonds can be redeemed from Special Tax A prepayments.
01337.0021/775248.1
58 9. Determine the Special Tax A amount levied on the Assessor’s Parcel in the current Fiscal Year which have not yet been paid.
10. Determine the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the investment of the Bond Redemption Amount and the Redemption Premium from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the Prepayment Amount.
11. Add the amounts derived pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount derived pursuant to paragraph 10 (the “Defeasance Amount”).
12. Verify the administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment, includin g the cost to invest the Prepayment Amount, the cost of redeeming the Outstanding Bonds, and the cost of recording notices to evidence the prepayment of the Special Tax A Obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel and the redemption of Outstanding Bonds (the “Administrative Fees and Expenses”).
13. The reserve fund credit (the “Reserve Fund Credit”) shall equal the lesser of: (a) the expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any, associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.
14. If any capitalized interest for the Outstanding Bonds will not have been expended at the time of the first interest and/or principal payment following the current Fiscal Year, a capitalized interest credit shall be calculated by multiplying the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest fund after such first interest and/or principal payment (the “Capitalized Interest Credit”).
15. The amount to prepay the Special Tax A Obligation 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 and 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. 2022-1 IA 2.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem an amount othe r than a $5,000 increment of Outstanding Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000 or integral multiple thereof will be retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to redeem Outstanding Bonds to be used with the next prepayment of Outstanding Bonds.
The CFD Administrator will confirm that all previously levied Special Taxes have been paid in full. With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel for which the Special Tax A Obligation is prepaid
01337.0021/775248.1
59 in full, once the CFD Administrator has confir med that all previously levied Special Taxes have been paid, the Council shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of the Special Tax A and the release of the Special Tax A lien on such Assessor’s P arcel, and the obligation of the owner of such Assessor’s Parcel to pay the Special Tax A shall cease.

Tax exempt status for the purpose of this paragraph will be assigned by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order in which property becomes eligible for classification as Exempt Property.
If the use of an Assessor’s Parcel of Exempt Property changes so that such Assessor’s Parcel is no longer classified as one of the uses set forth in the first paragraph of Section I above that would make such Assessor’s Parcel eligible to be cla ssified as Exempt Property, such Assessor’s Parcel shall cease to be classified as Exempt Property and shall be deemed to be Taxable Property.
J. APPEALS
Any landowner who pays the Special Tax and claims the amount of the Special Tax levied on his or her Assessor’s Parcel is in error shall first consult with the CFD Administrator regarding such error not later than thirty -six (36) months after first having paid the first installment of the Special Tax that is disputed.

1. Prepayment in Full
Property owners may prepay and permanently satisfy the Special Tax A Obligation by a cash settlement with the City as permitted unde r Government Code Section 53344. The Special Tax B obligation may not be prepaid.
The Special Tax A Obligation applicable to an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, Approved Property, or Undeveloped Property that has been included in a Final Map may b e prepaid and the obligation to pay the Special Tax A for such Assessor’s Parcel permanently satisfied as described herein, provided that a prepayment may be made with respect to a particular Assessor’s Parcel 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 eligible to prepay the Special Tax A Obligation shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay and designate or identify the com pany or agency that will be acting as the escrow agent, if any. The CFD Administrator shall provide the owner with a statement of the Prepayment Amount for such Assessor’s Parcel within thirty (30) days of the request and may charge a reasonable fee for pr oviding this service. Prepayment must
01337.0021/775248.1
80 be made at least 60 days prior to any redemption date for Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes, unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee and the City.
The Prepayment Amount shall be calculated for each applicable Assessor’s Parcel or group of Assessor’s Parcels as follows (capitalized terms are defined below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Future Facilities Amount
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
less Capitalized Interest Credit
Equals: 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 Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Special Tax A for the Assessor’s Parcel as though all Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property within CFD No. 2022-1 IA 3 have been built out. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax A for the Assessor’s Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the Buildi ng Permit which has been issued for the Assessor’s Parcel.
For an Assessor’s Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax A for the Assessor’s Parcel.
3. Divide the Ma ximum Special Tax A derived pursuant to paragraph 2 by the estimated total amount of Special Tax A that could be levied at build out of all Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property based on the applicable Maximum Special Tax A for all such Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property not including any Parcels for which the Special Tax A 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 Outsta nding 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 Costs.
7. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 6 to determine the portion of the Future Facilities Costs applicable to the Assessor’s Parcel (the “Future Facilities Amount”).
01337.0021/775248.1
81 8. Determine the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds on which Bonds can be redeemed from Special Tax A prepayments.
9. Determine the Special Tax A amount levied on the Assessor’s Parcel in the current Fiscal Year which have not yet been paid.
10. Determine the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the investment of the Bond Redemption Amount and the Redemption Premium from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the Prepayment Amount.
11. Add the amounts derived pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and sub tract the amount derived pursuant to paragraph 10 (the “Defeasance Amount”).
12. Verify the administrative fees and expenses associated with the prepayment, including the cost to invest the Prepayment Amount, the cost of redeeming the Outstanding Bonds, and the cost of recording notices to evidence the prepayment of the Special Tax A Obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel and the redemption of Outstanding Bonds (the “Administrative Fees and Expenses”).
13. The reserve fund credit (the “Reserve Fund Credit”) shall equal the lesser of: (a) the expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any, associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new res erve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.
14. If any capitalized interest for the Outstanding Bonds will not have been expended at the time of the first interest and/or principal payment following the current Fiscal Year, a capitalized interest credit shall be calculated by multiplying the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest fund after such first interest and/or principal payment (the “Capitalized Interest Credit”).
15. The amount to prepay the Special Tax A Obligation 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 and the Capitalized Interest Credit.
16. From the Prepayment Amount, the Bond Redemption Am ount, 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. 2022-1 IA 3.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem an amount other than a $5,000 increment of Outstanding Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000 or integral
