C. Preservation of the land as open space is consistent with the Rocklin General Plan; and
D. The preservation of land as open space is in the best interest of the City of Rocklin and is important to the public for the enjoyment of scenic beauty for the following reasons:

Open Space Management and Fuel Modification Plan
Westridge (Sky View)
1 1.0 Introduction
In 2007, the City of Rocklin approved the Clover Valley Tentative Subdivision Map, comprising the development of 558 residential lots and other associated land uses on 622 acres located within Clover Valley, which is situated in the northeast corner of the city. The Westridge (Sky View) project is considered the initial phase of the Clover Valley project, comprising the development of 178 residential lots and three open space lots on roughly 47 acres situated atop the ridge in the northwest corner of Clover Valley. Of the 47 acres, roughly 31 will be developed while the remaining 16 acres will be saved as open space. The project’s Home Owners Association will own the three open space lots (Parcels A, B & C) and manage the open space contained within.
This document describes the management of the fire fuel load within the three open space lots.
It does not cover any fire fuel load management within the private lots or on lands adjacent to the Westridge (Sky View) Subdivision.
2.0 Open Space Description
2.1 Location
The Westridge (Sky View) project comprises an approximately 47-acre long and narrow strip of land located along the ridge above Clover Valley, adjacent to Boulder Ridge Park and the PCWA Sunset Water Treatment Plant property to the west, and Clover Valley to the east. Access to the site is via Park Drive at the south end of the property (see Figure 1).
2.2 Vegetation
The property is located atop the ridge, roughly 160 feet above the valley floor, with a majority of the property covered by two principal plant communities: dry grassland and oak woodland. The dry grassland consists of non -native annual grasses, including ripgut brome, soft chess, filaree, medusahead, wild oat, and star thistle. The annual grasses extend outward from the ridgetop , downslope into the oak woodland canopy located along the steeper slopes of the canyon wall .
Oak woodlands grow in shallow to moderately deep, well-drained soils along the relatively steep canyon side slopes, in excess of 20 percent, supporting a low, dense, closed-canopy woodland of blue oak, interior live oak, California buckeye and poison oak. Small openings in the woodland canopy support ripgut brome and dogtail grass. The floor of the oak woodland supports a species mixture of annual non-natives similar to the dry grassland.
3.0 Long Term Preserve Management
3.1 Preserve Manager
The project’s Home Owners Association (HOA), pursuant to thi s Open Space Management and Fuel Modification Plan (Pl an), will provide management of this open space area . The HOA will function as both the Preserve Manager and the Owner in fee of the open space parcels. All allowed uses and restrictions in this open space area are contained within this plan.
3.2 Management Strategies
• Limit access to the open space.
243
Open Space Management and Fuel Modification Plan
Westridge (Sky View)
2 • Police the property sufficiently to discourage and even prosecute and penalize unauthorized “users”.
• Implement best management practices during construction and maintenance activities to minimize damage to special status species and potential habitat.
3.3 Permitted Uses
The Plan expressly permits the following uses within the subject open space parcels:
• Permitted uses set forth in the City of Rocklin Zoning Ordinance; • Land uses and associated infrastructure set forth in the Westridge (Sky View) Subdivision approval documentation;
• Wildfire mitigation measures, including fire suppression and other emergency response measures necessary;
• Stormwater drainage facilities as noted in the Westridge (Sky View) Subdivision approval documentation and as otherwise approved during the project’s improvement plans review; • Maintenance including weed abatement, utility maintenance, fire prevention, preserve maintenance-abated materials may be chipped on site, lopped and scattered, or chipped and hauled;
• Activities that may be required for the operation and maintenance of other open space infrastructure are permitted.
The entities responsible for operating and maintaining facilities within the open space will be provided access to the open space by the Preserve Manager. The Preserve Manager shall maintain a list of entities who have infrastructure operation and/or maintenance responsibilities within the open space. The Preserve Manager is responsible for notifying and informing entities performing operation and/or maintenance responsibilities within the preserve about preserve management policies including activities prohibited within the preserve.
3.4 Prohibited Activities
The following activities are not permitted within the open space preserve:
• Alteration of existing topography, which includes leveling, grading, or landscaping, for any purposes, except as required for authorized fire protection, routine maintenance of existing utilities, emergency situations including fires, floods, and utility line breakages, planting of native vegetation for preserve enhancement, or other permitted activities defined in this plan;
• Cultivation, plowing, and/or grading except as necessary to remove noxious or dangerous plants consistent with this Plan, or as required to minimize fire, flood, or other public safety danger;
• Dumping and/or burning of rubbish, garbage, or any other wastes or fill materials; • Use of motorized vehicles, except as provided herein; • Removing, altering, or replacing any existing native vegetation, except as part of the Fuel Modification Plan to maintain existing and planned utilities; • Alteration of natural drainages or placement of unauthorized storm water outfalls; • Use of pesticides or herbicides, unless such use is consistent with the maintenance of the open space function;
• Any other activities that, in the opinion of the Preserve Manager, might degrade or interfere with the open space function.
244
Open Space Management and Fuel Modification Plan
Westridge (Sky View)
3 4.0 Fuel Modification Plan Management
4.1 Basis of Plan Design
The management of fuels within the open space is specified in the City of Rocklin’s Municipal Code Chapter 8.10 – Fire Sa fe Vegetation and Debris Management and Chapter 8.12 – Weeds and Rubbish and the Citywide Fuel Load Reduction Guidelines. These practices may occur year-round, with the removal of hazardous trees, branches, and vegetation conducted as needed.
4.2 Vegetation Maintenance Practices
Vegetation maintenance within the open space will comply with the current adopted defensible space and vegetation management practices established by the Rocklin Fire Department, with zones determined based on proximity to structures.
Zone 1
Zone 1 is the area within 30 -feet of property line s or structures. In this case, this is along any residential lots that abut the open space. The operational standards for this zone are as follows:
• Cut, mow, graze annual grass down to a maximum height of 4-inches; • Create horizontal space between shrubs and trees. This distance depends upon the slope with a 10 -foot minimum for trees or twice the height of the shrubs (See diagram in Appendix A);
• Create vertical space between grass, shrubs, and trees. The minimum clearance is 6’ from the ground, or 3x the height of adjacent shrubs (See diagram in Appendix A); • Remove branches that hang over property line;
• Trim trees regularly to keep branches a minimum of 10-feet from other trees; • Create a separation between trees and shrubs. Trees less than 4” DBH removed.
Zone 2
Zone 2 extends from 30 feet to 100 feet from structures, but not less than 20 feet beyond the limit of grading. The operational standards for this zone are as follows:
• Cut, mow, graze annual grass down to a maximum height of 4-inches; • Create horizontal space between shrubs and trees. (See diagram in Appendix A); • Create vertical space between grass, shrubs, and trees. (See diagram in Appendix A)
See Figure 2 for the limits of the two zones throughout the three open space lots. The property must be brought into compliance with this standard and approved by the identified Preserve Manager.
4.3 Large Areas
For large areas within this open space beyond Zone 2, fuel load reduction will be completed in accordance with the current Citywide Fuel Reduction Guidelines.
245
Open Space Management and Fuel Modification Plan
Westridge (Sky View)
4 4.4 Protected Areas and Vegetation
The project area does not contain aquatic resources or riparian habitat. Prior to the start of any fuel load reduction activities, however, the project site shall be surveyed for the presence of elderberry shrubs. Any elderberry shrubs identified during the survey shall be marked with flagging in the field to ensure avoidance and their locations shall be identified on a project site map. A copy of the project site map with identified elderberry shrubs shall be provided to the contractor conducting the fuel load reduction activities and the contractor shall be briefed on the locations of the identified elderberry shrubs and the need to avoid any trimming or removal of elderberry shrubs.
4.5 Access Control
Fencing of areas to separate the subdivision development from the open space area will be as indicated in the Westridge (Sky View) Subdivision improvement plans and as otherwise approved during the project’s improvement plan review process. Those fencing types will primarily include either 4-foot or 6-foot tall tubular steel fencing, or similar, installed at the back of sidewalk where open space areas are adjacent to streets.
5.0 Preserve Funding and Ownership
The open space will be owned by the project’s Home Owners Association (HOA). Ongoing Preserve Operation and Maintenance Funding will be provided by the HOA.

Axon Enterprise, Inc. Agreement for Body Worn Camera and In-Car Camera Services
Date:
September 23, 2025
Submitted By:
Neil Costa, Police Lieutenant
Chad Morris, Police Captain
Rustin Banks, Police Chief
Department:
Police
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Approving and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Master Services and Purchasing Agreement with Axon Enterprise, Inc.
Background:
The Rocklin Police Department (RPD) has been using body-worn (BWC) and in-car cameras (ICC) for more than thirteen years. This technology has shown to be essential, specifically in the areas of transparency, evidence collection and complaint reduction. RPD desires to continue to utilize these exceptionally valuable tools and expand services with a new five-year Master Services and Purchasing Agreement with Axon Enterprise, Inc (Axon). The total contract award is $1,140,945.42 over five years with annual payments.
Maintaining this program safeguards the City’s financial and legal interests. The availability of video evidence not only strengthens court cases and expedites resolutions, but also significantly reduces liability exposure and the costly litigation that can arise from incidents without clear documentation. While the expense of purchasing, maintaining, and managing this technology are significant, the benefits, enhanced officer safety, stronger prosecutions, reduction in civil claims, and improved community relations, outweigh the cost. The continued investment in BWC and ICC technology is not just a tool for law enforcement, but a sound financial and ethical decision that supports the City of Rocklin’s strategic plan goal related to safety, while focusing on effective, transparent, and community-focused policing.
The Axon platform seamlessly integrates their products and services across agencies. The continuity simplifies the learning curve for users and increases efficiencies by reducing duplicity, reducing thousands of hours spent classifying, tagging, redacting and/or transcribing video. Close integration with Axon Evidence (Digital Evidence Management System a.k.a.
Evidence.com) allows fast, efficient, digital and secure sharing of records and cases from RPD to the County of Placer District Attorney’s Office.
Item Number C9.
277
The City has benefited from the use of BWC and ICC and their continued use is essential for effective and efficient police operations. The implementation of Axon’s proprietary Digital Evidence Management System at RPD provides a direct link to the District Attorney’s Office, who have previously instituted Axon’s Digital Evidence Management System. Therefore, staff recommends suspending competitive bidding pursuant to Rocklin Municipal Code Title 3, Section 3.04.090 as a Sole Source (Exhibit C).
The initial term of this agreement is five years, estimated February 1, 2026 through January 31, 2031. The agreement also includes an autorenewal clause for a second five-year term with an option for the City to cancel with 30 days prior to the end of the initial subscription term.
This agreement is structured to provide a suite of selected services based on current staffing and vehicles. All RPD vehicles and officers are outfitted with in-car and body-worn video technology. Future growth is expected and Axon provides flexibility and ease in expanding equipment and services individually, as needed.
Fiscal Impact:
The total cost for the first year is $136,914 and subsequent years is $251,008 annually.
Funding for the first two years will be absorbed within the Police Department's Fiscal Years 2025-2027 Operating Budget within the General Fund (Fund 100). Any additional funding needed in future fiscal years will be proposed and appropriated provided sufficient funds are available in the adopted budgets for the applicable fiscal years.

Staff Report
Subject:
Community Facilities District No. 10 (Whitney Ranch) Refunding Series 2015 and 2019 Special Tax Bonds
Date:
September 23, 2025
Submitted By:
Megan Bressem, Management Analyst
Daniel Choe, Administrative Services Deputy Director
Department:
Administrative Services - Finance
Recommendation:
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Authorizing the Issuance of 2025
Special Tax Bonds and Directing Related Actions to Refund the Whitney Ranch Community Facilities District No. 10 2015 and 2019 Bond Issuances.
Background:
On March 22, 2005, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2005-81, forming Community Facilities District No. 10 (CFD 10) to fund infrastructure for the development of Whitney Ranch. Subsequently, Resolution No. 2005-84 authorized up to $60 million in bonds. It was anticipated the bonds would be issued in phases to help fund the phases of Whitney Ranch infrastructure development. A development agreement for Whitney Ranch was also approved during this same timeframe along with a Reimbursement/Acquisition Agreement.
In 2005, the City issued $25 million in CFD 10 bonds to fund Phase One of Whitney Ranch backbone infrastructure. In 2015, the City issued $27.09 million in CFD 10 bonds to refund the 2005 bonds and provide $6.3 million in new bond proceeds in order to fund construction of additional backbone infrastructure within Whitney Ranch Phase Two. In 2019, the City issued $16 million in CFD 10 bonds to fund construction of additional backbone infrastructure within Whitney Ranch. Most recently, in 2022, the City issued $13.6 million in CFD 10 bonds to fund construction of additional backbone infrastructure within Whitney Ranch.
The bonds issued in 2015 and 2019 are now eligible to be refinanced without a prepayment penalty. Given current interest rates, the City can realize interest cost savings by refinancing the outstanding amount of these bond issues through the issuance of 2025 CFD 10 bonds. A portion of the cash flow savings is achieved by releasing the cash funded debt service reserve fund and using a reserve surety (insurance policy) to facilitate a debt service reserve fund for the refinancing bonds. It is estimated that the 2025 CFD 10 bonds will carry a 14-year term and provide for approximately $375,000 in new project fund proceeds from the release of cash funded debt service reserve funds for the City to acquire certain facilities in Whitney Ranch.
After issuance of the 2025 bonds, there will remain approximately $2 million of bond Item Number D1.

authorization that can be utilized in the future for public improvements. It is anticipated that the refunding of the 2015 Bonds and 2019 Bonds will generate approximately $1.56 million in net present value savings, or 4.8% of refunded par, to homeowners within the special district.
When a CFD is formed, a “Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax” (RMA) is created. The RMA sets a per-parcel maximum special tax with an annual inflation factor and establishes the last year the special taxes may be levied. The RMA for CFD 10 provides that the annual maximum special tax can escalate annually at a rate not to exceed 2%, and the last fiscal year to levy the special taxes is 2050/2051. Currently, CFD 10 special taxes are being levied at approximately 70% of the maximum tax and are expected to remain at that approximate level.
In addition to these maximum special tax limitations, the City adopted policies and procedures for land-secured financings, including CFDs (Resolution No. 2005-112). Within this policy, it is required that, for residential property, the maximum annual debt service for the expected financing, together with all other charges collected or to be collected on the annual tax bill for each developed parcel, shall not exceed two percent (2%) of such parcel’s assessed value.
Currently homes in CFD 10 have an estimated median combined tax levy for all purposes of under 1.8% of assessed valuation.
In accordance with Government Code Section 5852.1, the following information has been obtained and disclosed to the City Council prior to the issuance of the bonds:
(i) the estimated true interest cost of the bonds (being the rate necessary to discount the amounts payable on the respective principal and interest payment dates to the purchase price received for the bonds) is 4.0%,
(ii) the estimated finance charge of the bonds (being the sum of all fees and charges paid to third parties, including bond insurance and surety provider) is $733,673, (iii) the estimated proceeds of the bonds expected to be received, net of proceeds for finance charges in (ii) above to be paid from the principal amount of the bonds and any reserves or capitalized interest paid or funded with bonds is approximately $33,016,718, and (iv) the estimated total payment of the bonds (being the sum of debt service plus finance to be paid to final maturity, plus any financing costs not paid from proceeds of the 2025 CFD 10 bonds) is $40,126,425.
This information is based on good-faith estimates provided by the financing team with market conditions as of August 20, 2025.
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the issuance of the 2025 special tax bonds to refund the 2015 and 2019 bond issuances for the purposes of realizing savings to homeowners, reimbursing the developer for outstanding improvement costs, and releasing and replacing the reserve funds with a surety bond. Adopting the resolution (Attachment 1), will allow for related actions that are necessary to complete the financial transaction, including the approval of the Preliminary Official Statement of the 2025 bonds (Attachment 2), the Supplemental Agreement No. 3 to Fiscal Agent Agreement (Attachment 3), and the Bond Purchase Agreement (Attachment 4).
359
Fiscal Impact:
There is no direct fiscal impact to the General Fund from the staff recommendation. Refunding the 2015 and 2019 Series special tax bond issuances will result in approximately $1.56 million in net present value savings to homeowners within the special district.

8 THE 2025 BONDS
Authority for Issuance
The 2025 Bonds are issued pursuant to the Act, the Fiscal Agent Agreement, and a resolution adopted by the City Council on [September 23], 2025.
On March 22, 2005, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2005-81 (the “Resolution of Formation”), which formed the District. The District was established and authorized to incur bonded indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $ 60,000,000 at a special election in the District held on the same day. Under the provisions of the Act, since there were fewer than 12 registered voters residing within the District for each of the 90-days preceding the protest hearing regarding the formation of the District, the qualified electors entitled to vote in the special election consisted solely of the original master developer , the only eligible landowner/voter in the District, who cast one vote for each gross acre or portion of an acre of land owned within the District. The Developer voted to incur the bonded indebtedness and to approve the annual levy of Special Taxes to be collected within the District, for the purpose of paying for the Improvements, including repaying any indebtedness of the District, replenishing reserve funds and paying administrative expenses of the District. See “THE DISTRICT” herein. At the request of the original master developer, the Special Tax Formula was clarified pursuant to Resolution No. 2015-83 adopted April 15, 2015 to designate special tax rates needed due to changed zoning of certain undeveloped land owned by the original master developer.
The 2025 Bonds represent the fifth series of special tax bonds issued for the District, with the four prior series of special tax bonds described as follows:
in 2005, the City issued the City of Rocklin Community Facilities District No. 10 (Whitney Ranch) Special Tax Bonds Series 2005 (the “2005 Bonds”) in the amount of $25,000,000 to provide funds for the construction and/or acquisition of a portion of the Improvements;
in 2015, the City issued the 2015 Bonds in the amount of $27,090,000 to refinance, in full, the 2005 Bonds and to provide additional funds for the construction and/or acquisition of additional Improvements;
in 2019, the City issued the 2019 Bonds in the amount of $16,000,000 to finance the construction and/or acquisition of additional Improvements; and
in 2022, the City issued the 2022 Bonds in the amount of $13,605,000 to provide additional funds for the construction and/or acquisition of Improvements.
Upon the refunding in full of the 2015 Bonds and 2019 Bonds, the 2025 Bonds will be the only bonds secured on a parity basis with the bonds issued in 2022.

Such notice may specify that it is conditional upon the receipt of funds to pay the redemption price of the 2025 Bonds to be redeemed on or prior to the redemption date and that if such funds are not available, the redemption will be canceled and such 2025 Bonds shall remain Outstanding.

Right to Rescind. The City has the right to rescind any notice of optional redemption of the 2025 Bonds by written notice to the Fiscal Agent on or prior to the dated fixed for redemption.

The Fiscal Agent shall mail notice of such rescission of prepayment in the same manner as the original notice of redemption was sent.

The City may, by a Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement, authorize the issuance of one or more additional series of Parity Bonds in the future, which would be payable on a parity with the 2022 Bonds and 2025 Bonds, subject to compliance by the City with the conditions set forth in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, which include the following:
A reserve account shall be established in an amount equal to the Reserve Requirement calculated with respect to the Parity Bonds.
For each Bond Year that Bonds (including the proposed issue of Parity Bonds) will be outstanding, projected maximum Special Taxes (net of County administration charges and Priority Administration Expenses) on Developed Property (as defined in the Special Tax Formula) in each Fiscal Year are equal to or greate r than 110% of Debt Service due in the Bond Year that begins in the corresponding Fiscal Year.
The fair market value of all parcels in the District subject to Special Taxes, including then existing improvements and any facilities to be constructed or acquired with the proceeds of the proposed series of Parity Bonds, as determined by an appraisal performed on a basis consistent with the appraisal or appraisals prepared in connection with the issuance of Bonds issued and outstanding, and/or the assessed value of parcels and improvements thereon, as shown on the then current County tax roll, is at least 10.00 times the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding Bonds and any Parity Bonds, plus (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the series of Parity Bonds proposed to be issued, plus (iii) the aggregate principal amount of any assessment district bonds then proposed and outstanding and payable from assessments to be levied on parcels of land within the District, plus (iv) a portion of the aggregate principal amount of all Other CFD Bonds then proposed and outstanding and payable at least partially from special taxes to be levied on parcels of land within the District equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Other CFD Bonds multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of special taxes levied for the Other CFD Bonds on parcels of land within the District, and the denominator of which is the total amount of special taxes levied for the Other CFD Bonds on all parcels of lan d against which the special taxes are levied to pay Other CFD Bonds (such fraction to be determined based upon the maximum special taxes which could be levied the year in which maximum annual debt service on the Other CFD Bonds occurs), based upon informat ion from the most recent available fiscal year.

13 SECURITY FOR THE BONDS
Special Taxes
The Bonds (consisting of the 2022 Bonds, 2025 Bonds and any Parity Bonds) are payable from and secured by Special Tax Revenues, which are proceeds of the Special Taxes received by the City, net of the administration charge of the County (currently 1%) and Priority Administrative Expenses ($__ for Fiscal Year 2025-26, escalating at 2% each fiscal year thereafter), including all scheduled payments and delinquent payments thereof, interest and penalties thereon and proceeds of the redemption or sale of property sold as a result of foreclosure of the lien of the Special Taxes.
All of the Special Tax Revenues and all moneys deposited in the Bond Fund and, until disbursed as provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, in the Improvement Fund and the Special Tax Fund are pledged to secure the repayment of the Bonds. The 2025 Bonds (but no other series of Bonds) are also secured by amounts in the 2025 Reserve Account of the Reserve Fund. See “– 2025 Reserve Account” herein. Such pledge shall constitute a first lien on the Special Tax Revenues and said amounts. The Special Tax Revenues and all moneys deposited into such funds (except as otherwise provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement) are dedicated to the payment of the principal of, including any mandatory sinking fund payments, and interest and any premium on, the Bonds as provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreemen t and in the Act until all of the Bonds have been paid and retired or defeased in accordance with the Fiscal Agent Agreement.
A Special Tax applicable to each Taxable Parcel in the District will be levied and collected according to the tax amount determined through the application of the Special Tax Formula, which is administered for the City by Willdan Financial Service, Temecula , California (the “Special Tax Consultant”) and set forth in APPENDIX A hereto. The Special Tax is exempt from the property tax limitation of Article XIIIA of the California Constitution, pursuant to Section 4 thereof as a “special tax” authorized by a two -thirds vote of the qualified electors. The levy of the Special Taxes was authorized by the City pursuant to the Act i n an amount determined according to the Special Tax Formula approved by the City. See “THE DISTRICT.”
The amount of Special Taxes that the District may levy in any year, and from which principal and interest on the Bonds is to be paid, is strictly limited by the maximum rates approved by the qualified electors within the District which are set forth as the annual “Maximum Special Tax” in the Special Tax Formula. Under the Special Tax Formula, Special Taxes for the purpose of making payments on the Bonds will be levied annually in an amount, not in excess of the Maximum Special Taxes. The Special Taxes and any interest earned on the Special Taxes constitute a trust fund for the principal of and interest on the Bonds pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement a nd, so long as the principal of and interest on these obligations remains unpaid, the Special Taxes and investment earnings thereon will not be used for any other purpose, except as permitted by the Fiscal Agent Agreement , and will be held in trust for the benefit of the owners thereof and will be applied pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Special Tax Formula apportions the Special Tax Requirement (as defined in the Special Tax Formula and described below) among the Taxable Parcels of real property within the District according to the rate and methodology set forth in the Special Tax Formula. See “– Special Tax Methodology” below and APPENDIX A.
The City may levy the Special Tax at the Maximum Special Tax rate authorized by the qualified electors within the District, as set forth in the Special Tax Formula, if conditions so require.
The City has covenanted to annually levy the Special Taxes in an amount at least sufficient to pay the Special Tax Requirement (as defined below). Because each Special Tax levy is limited to the Maximum Special Tax rates authorized as set forth in the Special Tax Formula, no assurance can be given that, in the event of Special Tax delinquencies, the amount of the Special Tax Requirement 381
14 will in fact be collected in any given year. See “RISK FACTORS — Tax Delinquencies” herein. The Special Taxes are collected for the City by the County of Placer in the same manner and at the same time as ad valorem property taxes.
Special Tax Methodology
The Special Tax authorized under the Act applicable to land within the District will be levied annually, and collected semi-annually, according to the tax liability determined by the City or its designee through the application of the Special Tax Formula. Capitalized terms set forth in this section and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Special Tax Formula. See APPENDIX A.
The Special Tax Formula is based on proposed land use and development plans as projected for the District at the time of its formation in 2005 , as clarified pursuant to Resolution No. 2015 -83.
See “THE 2025 BONDS – Authority for Issuance.” The Special Tax Formula requires that Special Taxes be levied annually on all Parcels of Taxable Property within the District, under the method of levy described below, as required to meet the Special Tax Requirement. Taxable Property means all Parcels not exempt from the Special Tax pursuant to law or the Special Tax Formula.
Determination of Special Tax Requirement and Other Key Definitions . The “Special Tax Requirement” is defined in the Special Tax Formula to mean “the amount necessary in any Fiscal Year (i) to pay principal and interest on the Bonds, (ii) to create or replenish the reserve funds, (iii) to pay Administrative Expenses, (iv) to cure any delinquencies in the payment of principal or interest on indebtedness of the District which have occurred in the prior Fiscal Year or (based on delinquencies in the payment of the Special Taxes which have already taken place) are expected to occur in the Fiscal Year in which the tax will be collected, and (v) to pay construction expenses to be funded directly from Special Tax proceeds. The amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence may be reduced in any Fiscal Year by … interest earnings on or surplus balances … in funds and accounts for the Bonds …; proceeds received from collection of penalties associated with delinquent Special Taxes; and any other revenues available to pay debt service on the Bonds as determined by the Administrator.”
As used in the Special Tax Formula, “ Developed Property,” with one exception, is defined to mean all Taxable Parcels for which a Final Map was recorded prior to June 1 of the prior Fiscal Year. “Final Map” is defined to mean a final map approved pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act that creates Buildable Lots but not including any map that does not create Buildable Lots, and “Buildable Lot” is defined to mean an individual lot within a Final Map for which a building permit may be issued without further subdivision. The one exception to the definition of Developed Property relates to one specific large lo t zoned for commercial uses (Large Lot 2) within which Taxable Parcels will be deemed to be Developed Property only upon issuance of a building permit for new construction prior to June 1 of the prior Fiscal Year.
“Undeveloped Property” means, in any Fiscal Year, all Parcels of Taxable Property within the District that are not yet Developed Property.
Certain other capitalized terms used in this section entitled, “–Special Tax Methodology” have the meanings given them in the Special Tax Formula. See APPENDIX A.
Calculation of Maximum Special Tax Rates and Changes Thereto. Provision is made in the Special Tax Formula for increases in the rates of Maximum Special Taxes for Developed Property if and to the extent that Large Lots are developed to less density than originally anticipated. 382
15 Provision is also made to accommodate changes in anticipated land uses, all to the end that each Large Lot, singly or in combination, when developed will yield Maximum Special Taxes in at least the amount or amounts displayed in Attachment 2 to the Special Tax Formula shown in APPENDIX A.
Method of Levying Special Tax. The method of levy of the Special Tax on Taxable Property in the District is set forth in the Special Tax Formula as a series of steps , which are describ ed as follows.
Step 1. Step 1 directs that the Special Tax be levied proportionately on each Parcel of Developed Property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each Parcel. The applicable Maximum Special Tax rate for parcels in the District is set forth in the Special Tax Formula and will be increased each year by an amount equal to 2% of the amount in effect for the prior Fiscal Year. For Fiscal Year 2025-26, Maximum Special Tax rates for single family residential property will vary from $ 579.52 to $ 2,347.80 per unit. For multifamily property, the Maximum Special Tax will be $12,838.59 per acre and for non -residential property, the Maximum Special Tax will be $7,429.73 per acre.
Step 2. If additional revenue is needed after Step 1 in order to meet the Special Tax Requirement, Step 2 provides that the Special Tax shall be levied proportionately on each Taxable Parcel of Undeveloped Property within Zone 1 of the District up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Special Tax. Zone 1 is defined to mean the geographical area that, at formation of the District, included what is generally known as Phase 1 of the Whitney Ranch project.
Step 3. If additional revenue is needed after application of Step 2 then, under Step 3, the Special Tax shall be levied proportionately on each Taxable Parcel of Undeveloped Property within Zone 2, up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Special Tax. Zone 2 is defined to mean the geographical area that, at formation of the District, included what is generally known as Phase 2 of the Whitney Ranch project.
Step 4. Finally, if after application of Step 3 additional revenue is needed, the Special Tax shall be levied proportionately on each Parcel of Taxable Public Property up to 100% of the applicable Maximum Special Tax.
Limitation on Increases in Special Tax Levy. If owners are delinquent in the payment of Special Taxes, the City may not increase Special Tax levies to make up for delinquencies for prior Fiscal Years above the Maximum Special Tax rates specified for each cate gory of property within the District. In addition, Section 53321(d) of the Act provides that the special tax levied against any parcel for which an occupancy permit for private residential use has been issued may not be increased as a consequence of delin quency or default by the owner of any other parcel within a community facilities district by more than 10% above the amount that would have been levied in such Fiscal Year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults. In cases of significant delinquency, these factors may result in defaults in the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds. See “RISK FACTORS.”
Prepayment of the Special Tax. The Special Tax may be prepaid, in full or in part, in accordance with a formula calculated in accordance with Section H of the Special Tax Formula .
Certain prepayments have occurred in the District in the past.
383
16 Termination of the Special Tax. The Special Tax will be levied and collected (up to the maximum allowable amount) for as long as needed to pay the principal and interest on the Bonds and other costs incurred in order to construct and acquire the authorized District -funded facilities and to pay the Special Tax Requirement. The Special Tax For mula provides that the Special Tax may not be levied on any parcel in the District after Fiscal Year 2050-51.
Special Tax Fund
When received, the Special Tax Revenues are required under the Fiscal Agent Agreement to be deposited into a Special Tax Fund to be held by the City in trust for the benefit of the Owners of the Bonds. Moneys in the Special Tax Fund will be disbursed as provided below and, pending any disbursement, will be subject to a lien in favor of the Owners of the Bonds.
As soon as practicable after the receipt by the City of Special Tax Revenues , the City shall withdraw from the Special Tax Fund and transfer: (i) to the Fiscal Agent for deposit in the Bond Fund, (a) an amount necessary to pay any principal or interest on the Bonds not paid when due, together with additional interest at rate of the Bonds to the expected date of payment from the date such payment was due, plus (b) an amount, taking into account any amounts then on deposit in the Bond Fund, such that the amount in the Bond Fund equals the principal (including any mandatory sinking fund installment), premium, if any, and interest due on the Bonds on the next two Interest Payment Dates with respect to Special Tax Revenues received during the period from September 1 through the last day of February in any year, and on the next Interest Payment Date with respect to Special Tax Revenues received during the period from March 1 through the last day of August in any year; (ii) to the Fiscal Agent for deposit in the Reserve Fund established under the Fiscal Agent Agreement an amount, taking into account amounts then on deposit in the Reserve Fund, so that the amount therein equals the Reserve Requirement (which will be calculated for each Series of Bonds) and to repay draws on the Reserve Policy ; and ( iii) after the foregoing transfers, transfer any amount remaining in the Special Tax Fund to the Surplus Fund. From time to time, the City may withdraw from the Surplus Fund amounts needed to pay costs of authorized improvements or incidental expenses of the District authorized under the Act. Moneys in the Surplus Fund may, at the City ’s discretion, also be used to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, to replenish the Reserve to the amount of the Reserve Requirement and to repay draws on the Reserve Policy, to pay Administrative Expenses in excess of Priority Administrative Expenses, or for any other lawful purpose for the us e of funds collected on behalf of the District. See “THE IMPROVEMENTS – Construction and Acquisition of the Improvements.”
Delinquent Payments; Foreclosure Covenant
The Special Tax will be collected in the same manner and the same time as ad valorem property taxes, except at the City ’s option, the Special Taxes may be billed directly to property owners or collected at a different time to meet the City ’s financial obli gations. In the event of a delinquency in the payment of any installment of Special Taxes, the City is authorized by the Act to order institution of an action in superior court to foreclose the lien therefor.
Under the Act, the City covenants with and for the benefit of the Owners of the Bonds that it will order, and cause to be commenced as hereinafter provided, and thereafter diligently prosecute to judgment (unless such delinquency is theretofore brought current), an action in the superior court to foreclose the lien of any Special Tax or installment thereof not paid when due as provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement. To carry out the covenant, on or about October 1st of each Fiscal Year, the City is required to compare the amount of Special Taxes theretofore levied in the District to the amount of Special Tax Revenues theretofore received by the City, and:
384
17 Individual Delinquencies . If the City determines that any single parcel subject to the Special Tax in the District is delinquent in the payment of Special Taxes in the aggregate amount of $6,000 or more, then the City shall send or cause to be sent a notice of delinquency (and a demand for immediate payment thereof) to the property owner within 60 days of such determin ation, and (if the delinquency remains uncured) commence foreclosure within 120 days of such determination; or
Aggregate Delinquencies. If the C ity determines that (i) the total amount of delinquent Special Tax for the prior Fiscal Year for the entire District, (including the total of delinquencies under the subsection “– Individual Delinquencies,” above), exceeds 5% of the total Special Tax due and payable for the prior Fiscal Year, the City shall notify or cause to be notified property owners who are th en delinquent in the payment of Special Taxes (and demand immediate payment of the delinquency) within 60 days of such determination, and shall timely commence foreclosure proceedings as directed by legal counsel against each parcel of land in the District with a Special Tax delinquency.
The owners of the 2025 Bonds (but not any other Bonds) benefit from the 2025 Reserve Account of the Reserve Fund; however, if delinquencies in the payment of the Special Taxes with respect to the 2025 Bonds are significant enough to completely exhaust the Reserve Policy limits and deplete the 2025 Reserve Account, there could be a default or a delay in payments of principal and interest to the owners of the 2025 Bonds pending prosecution of foreclosure proceedings and receipt by the City of the proceeds of foreclosure sales. Provided that it is not levying the Special Tax at the Maximum Special Tax rates set forth in the Special Tax Formula, the City may adjust (but not to exceed the Maximum Special Tax and subject to the limitation described under the caption “– Special Tax Methodology – Limitation on Increases of Special Tax Levy” above) the Special Taxes levied on all property within the District subject to the Special Tax to provide an amount required to pay debt service on the Bonds and to replenish the 2025 Reserve Account and any other debt service reserve accounts established for other series of Bonds under the Fiscal Agent Agreement.
Under current law, a judgment debtor (property owner) has at least 120 days from the date of service of the notice of levy in which to redeem the property to be sold. If a judgment debtor fails to redeem and the property is sold, his or her only remedy is an action to set aside th e sale, which must be brought within 90 days of the date of sale. If, as a result of such an action a foreclosure sale is set aside, the judgment is revived and the judgment creditor is entitled to interest on the revived judgment as if the sale had not b een made (California Code of Civil Procedure Section 701.680).
Foreclosure by court action is subject to normal litigation delays, the nature and extent of which are largely dependent upon the nature of the defense, if any, put forth by the debtor and the condition of the calendar of the superior court of the county. Such foreclosure actions can be stayed by the superior court on generally accepted equitable grounds or as the result of the debtor ’s filing for relief under the Federal bankruptcy laws. The Act provides that, upon foreclosure, the Special Tax lien will have the same lien priority as is provided for ad valorem taxes and special assessments.
See “ESTIMATED VALUE OF PROPERTY WITHIN THE DISTRICT – Priority of Lien.”
No assurances can be given that the real property subject to a judicial foreclosure sale will be sold or, if sold, that the proceeds of sale will be sufficient to pay any delinquent Special Tax installment. The Act does not require the District to purchase or otherwise acquire any lot or parcel of property foreclosed upon if there is no other purchaser at such sale.
385
18 Section 53356.6 of the Act requires that property sold pursuant to foreclosure under the Act be sold for not less than the amount of judgment in the foreclosure action, plus post-judgment interest and authorized costs, unless the consent of the owners of 75% of the outstanding Bonds is obtained.
However, under Section 53356.6 of the Act, the District, as judgment creditor, is entitled to purchase any property sold at foreclosure using a “credit bid,” where the District could submit a bid crediting all or part of the amount required to satisfy the judgment for the delinquent amount of the Special Tax. If the District becomes the purchaser under a credit bid, the District must pay the amount of its credit bid into the redemption fund established for the Bonds, but this payment may be made up to 24 months after the date of the foreclosure sale.
2025 Reserve Account
Upon delivery of the 2025 Bonds, a debt service reserve account (the “2025 Reserve Account”) within the Reserve Fund held by the Fiscal Agent will be established for the benefit of the owners of the 2025 Bonds. The City is purchasing a reserve fund insurance policy (the “Reserve Policy”) issued by the Bond Insurer for deposit into the 2025 Reserve Account, in the amount of the “Reserve Requirement” for the 2025 Bonds in the amount of $ _________, which requirement is the least of: (a) Maximum Annual Debt Service on the 2025 Bonds, (b) 125% of the average Annual Debt Service on the 2025 Bonds, and (c) 10% of the original principal amount of the 2025 Bonds (or the issue price of the 2025 Bonds excluding accrued interest, if the net original issue discount or premium is less than 98% or more than 102% of the principal amount of the 2025 Bonds), as calculated by the City. The City is required to maintain an amount of money, the Reserve Policy or other security equal to the Reserve Requirement in the 2025 Reserve Account at all times that the 2025 Bonds are outstanding. Each series of Bonds is secured by its own debt service reserve account within the Reserve Fund. Accordingly, the 2025 Reserve Account is available only for the 2025 Bonds and no other debt service reserve account established under the Fiscal Agent Agreement is available for the 2025 Bonds.
The Reserve Policy and any amounts available in the 2025 Reserve Account will be used and withdrawn by the Fiscal Agent solely for the purpose of making transfers to the Bond Fund in the event of any deficiency at any time in the Bond Fund of the amount then required for payment of the principal of, and interest on, the 2025 Bonds. Whenever transfer is made from the 2025 Reserve Account to the Bond Fund due to a deficiency in the Bond Fund, the Fiscal Agent will provide written notice thereof to the City.
Improvement Fund
Under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the Fiscal Agent previously established the Improvement Fund, which is held by the Fiscal Agent and will be disbursed as provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement for the payment or reimbursement of the costs of the construction and acquisition of the Improvements in accordance with the Acquisition Agreement (as described herein). In connection with the issuance of the 2025 Bonds, the Fiscal Agent will establish the 2025 Improvement Account as a subaccount within the Improvement Fund. Interest earnings from the investment of amounts in the Improvement Fund will be retained in the Improvement Fund to be used for the purposes of the Improvement Fund.
Upon completion of the Improvements and payment pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the Fiscal Agent will transfer th e amount, if any, remaining in the Improvement Fund to the Bond Fund for application to the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds in accordance with the Fiscal Agent Agreement, and the Improvement Fund will be closed. See “THE IMPROVEMENTS.”

20 THE DISTRICT
Overview
Property within the District has developed into a master-planned community known as “Whitney Ranch.” Whitney Ranch is located in the northwest portion of the City immediately adjacent to the boundary between the City and the City of Lincoln. The District was formed and established by the City in 2005 at the request of the Master Developer, in contemplation of residential and non- residential development.
Development is now nearly complete. Completed development includes a 134 -unit senior living facility and more than 3,000 single family homes conveyed to homeowners, with additional home sales pending.
Environmental Matters
Seismic. The areas in and around the District, like those of much of California, may be subject to earthquakes or other unpredictable seismic activity. However, land in the District is not located in a seismic special studies zone.
Flooding. Certain creeks within the District are considered to be Special Flood Hazard Areas (the floodway and the floodplain). However, none of the homes within the District are located within a designated flood area.
Wildfires. The City has areas designated as Moderate and High Fire Hazard Severity Zones by the Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM), particularly in the northeast and southeast corners of the City. The Whitney Oaks area and areas near Interstate 80, including Rocklin Crossing, are identified as both Moderate and High-Risk Fire Hazard Severity Zones. Portions of the District are within areas designated by the OSFM as being in a Moderate Fire Hazard Severity Zone.
Development History
Overview. The District was originally planned for approximately 2,700 single -family residential units (with a portion planned as small-lot units, such as condominiums, townhouses and apartments), approximately 43 acres of commercial/mixed uses and 190 acres of open space.
Development was projected to occur in two phases, referred to as Phase 1 and Phase 2. Over time, the planned development shifted to include a greater number of planned residential units, with taxable property in the District now planned to develop into more than 3,000 taxable residential units.
In 2005, development in the District began by the original master developer, Sunset Ranchos Investors, LLC. Since then, Sunset Ranchos Investors, LLC has completed substantially all of the required backbone infrastructure for the project and sold the majority of taxable lots within the District to merchant builders and other end users. In addition, as part of Phase 1, Sunset Ranchos Investors, LLC delivered the centerpiece of the community, The Ranch House, which is th e community recreation center. This member -owned facility contains two pools, classrooms, residents lounge, and banquet space that are available to the residents. The Whitney Ranch Community Association hosts member events throughout the year along with c lasses and clubs that are of interest to the resident members. A new elementary school and high school now open and operated by Rocklin Unified School District were also completed within Phase 1.
388
21 In October 2020, JEN California 17 purchased the remaining undeveloped land within the District via the acquisition of Sunset Ranchos Investors, LLC. JEN California 17 has overseen the completion of all remaining infrastructure for the project, including within Village 1A which is the last village to be completed. At the present time, all of the residential villages in the District have final maps in place, except for Village 1A (48 planned units), which is anticipated to be received by the end of 2022. In-tract infrastructure remains to be completed for Village 1A and is being undertaken concurrently with the final map process. For more information on the Master Developer and the three merchant homebuilders currently active in the community, see “OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY IN THE DISTRICT.”
OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY IN THE DISTRICT
Unpaid Special Taxes do not constitute a personal indebtedness of the owners of the property within the District . There is no assurance that the present property owners or any subsequent owners will have the ability to pay the Special Taxes or that, even if they have the ability, they will choose to pay the Special Taxes. An owner may elect to not pay the Special Taxes when due and cannot be legally compelled to do so. Neither the City nor any Bond Owner will have the ability at any time to seek payment directly from the owners of property within the District of the Special Tax or the principal or interest on the Bonds, or the ability to control who becomes a subsequent owner of any property within the District.
The Developer and the merchant builders have provided the information set forth in this section entitled “OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY IN THE DISTRICT.” No assu rance can be given that all information is complete. In addition, any Internet addresses included below are for reference only, and the information on those Internet sites is not a part of this Official Statement or incorporated by reference into this Official Statement.
General
Ownership of Taxable Parcels in the District primarily consists of individual homeowners.
Development remains ongoing in the District, with additional finished lots being constructed with homes, and being sold to individual homeowners. However, no assurance can be given that development of the Taxable property in the District will be completed, or that it will be completed in the time period described elsewhere in this Official Statement. The Special Taxes are not personal obligations of The Master Developer , the merchant builders or of any current or subsequent landowners; the Bonds are secured only by the Special Taxes and moneys available under the Fiscal Agent Agreement. See “SECURITY FOR THE BONDS” and “RISK FACTORS” herein.

23 Individual Homeowners
As shown in the table on the prior page, the majority of the taxable parcels in the District are now owned by individual homeowners; more than 3,000 homes had been conveyed to homeowners.
There are three merchant builders active in the community, and the Master Developer of the project (defined below) no longer owns property.
The Master Developer
Sunset Ranchos Investors , LLC. Sunset Ranchos Investors, LLC has been the master developer of the project since inception.

24 ESTIMATED VALUE OF PROPERTY IN THE DISTRICT
The value of the land within the District is a critical factor in determining the investment quality of the 2025 Bonds. If a property owner defaults in the payment of the Special Tax, the City’s only remedy is to foreclose on the delinquent property in an attempt to obtain funds with which to pay the delinquent Special Tax. A variety of economic, political, and natural occurrences incapable of being accurately predicted can affect land values. See “RISK FACTORS – Land Values.”
Unpaid Special Taxes do not constitute a personal indebtedness of the owners of the parcels within the District and the owners have made no commitment to pay the principal of or interest on the 2025 Bonds or to support payment of the 2025 Bonds in any manner. There is no assurance that the owners have the ability to pay the Special Taxes or that, even if they have the ability, they will choose to pay such taxes. An owner may elect to not pay the Special Taxes when due and cannot be legally compelled to do so. Neither the City nor any 2025 Bondholder will have the ability at any time to seek payment from the owners of property within the District of any Special Tax or any principal or interest due on the 2025 Bonds, or the ability to control who becomes a s ubsequent owner of any property within the District.
Assessed Valuations
In connection with valuing property in the District, the City has obtained the assessed valuation for Fiscal Year 2025-26 (the “Assessed Valuation”) of the taxable property in the District which reflects ownership as of the January 1, 2025 lien date. The “full cash” assessed values of all of the Taxable Parcels in the District has been established by the County Assessor for Fiscal Year 2025-26 in the amount of $2,199,977,846. The following table summarizes the historical assessed valuation of property in the District since Fiscal Year 2015-16.

Due to the recent and ongoing nature of development of homes in the District, the County assessed valuations are not in all cases reflective of most current development status. As provided by Article XIII A of the California Constitution, county assessors ’ assessed values are to reflect market value as of the date the property was last assessed (or 1975, which ever is more recent), increased by a maximum of 2% per year. Properties may be reassessed by the County only upon 392
25 a change of at least 51% ownership of existing property or upon new construction. The assessed values of parcels in the District thus reflect, for undeveloped parcels, the estimate of the County Assessor (the “Assessor”) of market value when acquired (or 1975, whichever is later), increased by up to 2% per year, and for parcels on which construction has occurred since their date of acquisition, the Assessor’s estimate of market value as of the time of construction, increased by up to 2% per year. The actual market value of parcels in the District, if sold at foreclosure, may be higher or lower than the Assessor ’s assessed values, depending upon the date of the Assessor ’s most recent assessment. The actual fair mar ket value of any parcel can often be more accurately established through an arms-length sale or an appraisal by an independent appraiser.
Because of the general limitation to 2% per year in increases in full cash value of properties which remain in the sa me ownership, the County tax roll does not reflect values uniformly proportional to actual market values. No assurance can be given that should a parcel with delinquent Special Taxes be foreclosed and sold for the amount of the delinquency, that any bid will be received for such property, or if a bid is received that such bid will be sufficient to pay such delinquent installments.
Value to Lien Ratios
The value of the land within the District is a critical factor in determining the investment quality of the 2025 Bonds. If a property owner defaults in the payment of a Special Tax, the City’s only remedy is to foreclose on the delinquent property in an attempt to obtain funds with which to pay the delinquent Special Taxes. See “SECURITY FOR THE BONDS – Delinquent Payments; Foreclosure Covenant” and “ RISK FACTORS – Bankruptcy and Foreclosure Delays.” Reductions in District property values due to a downturn in the economy, natural disasters such as earthquakes or floods, stricter land use regulations or other events could have an adverse impact on the security for payment of the Special Taxes.
The Special Tax is levied on each parcel within the District and only the respective individual parcel is responsible for such Special Tax.
In comparing the value of the real property within the District and the principal amount of the Bonds, it should be noted that only the real property upon which there is a delinquent Special Tax can be foreclosed upo n, and the real property within the District cannot be foreclosed upon as a whole to pay delinquent Special Taxes of the owners of such parcels within the District unless all of the property is subject to a delinquent Special Tax. In any event, individual parcels may be foreclosed upon separately to pay delinquent Special Taxes levied against such parcels.
Table 1, above, shows the projected special tax levy for Fiscal Year 2025-26, and corresponding value to lien ratios, by development status, and by ownership. The table on the following page provides additional information regarding the value to lien ratios in the District.

Future delinquencies in the payment of property taxes (including the Special Taxes) with respect to property in the District could result in draws on the 2025 Reserve Account established for the 2025 Bonds, and perhaps, ultimately, a default in the payment on the 2025 Bonds. See “RISK FACTORS.”
395
28 Direct and Overlapping Governmental Obligations
Priority of Lien. The principal of and interest on the Bonds are payable from the Special Tax authorized to be collected within the District, and payment of the Special Tax is secured by a lien on certain real property within the District. Such lien is co-equal to and independent of the lien for general taxes and any other liens imposed under the Act, regardless of when they are imposed on the property in the District. The imposition of additional special taxes, assessments and general property taxes will increase the amount of independent and co -equal liens which must be satisfied in foreclosure. The City, the County and certain other public agencies are authorized by the Act to form other community facilities districts and improvement areas and, under other provisions of State law, to form special assessment districts, either or both of which could include all or a portion of the land within the District.
There can be no assurance that the property owners within the District will not petition for the formation of other community facilities districts and improvement areas or for a special assessment district or districts and that parity special taxes or special assessments will not be levied by the City or some other public agency to finance additional public facilities, however no other special districts are currently contemplated by the City or the Master Developer.
Private liens, such as deeds of trust securing loans obtained by a property owner, may be placed upon property in the District at any time. Under California law, the Special Taxes have priority over all existing and future private liens imposed on property subject to the lien of the Special Taxes.
Overlapping Debt Statement. Contained within the boundaries of the District are certain overlapping local agencies providing public services. Many of these local agencies have outstanding debt. The direct and overlapping debt affecting the District as of ________ 1, 2025, is shown in the table below, a direct and overlapping debt report (the “Debt Report ”) prepared by California Municipal Statistics, Inc. The Debt Report is included for general information purposes only. The City has not reviewed the Debt Report for completeness or accuracy and makes no representation in connection therewith.
The Debt Report generally includes long term obligations sold in the public credit markets by public agencies whose boundaries overlap the boundaries of the District in whole or in part. These long-term obligations are not payable from revenues of the District (except as indicated) nor are they necessarily obligations secured by land within the District. In many cases long -term obligations issued by a public agency are payable only from the general fund or other revenues of such public agency. The amount shown reflects the amount outstanding as of the date indicated and does not reflect the amount of authorized but unissued debt.
The contents of the Debt Report are as follows: (1) the first column indicates the public agencies that have outstanding debt as of the date of the Debt Report and whose territory overlaps the District; (2) the second column shows the percentage of the assessed valuation of the overlapping public agency identified in column 1 which is represented by property located within the District; and (3) the third column is an apportionment of the dollar amount of each public agency ’s outstanding debt (which amount is not shown in the table) to property in the District, as determined by multiplying the total outstanding debt of each agency by the percentage of the public agency ’s assessed valuation represented in column 2.

29 City Overlapping Services Districts. Taxable Property within the District is also included in two community facilities districts and one landscaping and lighting district, each heretofore formed by the City, which are generally applicable to and encompass various major planning areas annexed to the City. Community Facilities Di strict No. 1 ( “CFD No. 1 ”) was formed by the City to fund fire protection services throughout various annexed territories within the City and imposes an annual services special tax on all parcels, including commercial, multi-family, industrial and business park parcels. The fiscal year 2025-26 annual special tax ranges from $70.00 to $1,264.62.
Community Facilities District No. 5 (“CFD No. 5”) was formed by the City to fund street and parkway light maintenance, streetscape and open space maintenance and park maintenance within certain annexed territory. CFD No. 5 imposes an annual special tax for services which currently range from $47.88 to $1,994.82 per single family parcel in Whitney Ranch for fiscal year 2025-26.
The actual maximum is dependent on the number of final subdivision parcels “realized” as compared to the number originally planned.
Landscape and Lighting District No. 2 (“ LLD No. 2”) also encompasses property within the District and levies and collects an annual assessment which currently ranges from $5.00 to $90.38 per single family residential unit in Whitney Ranch Phase I and from $76.16 to $654.04 per single family residential unit in Whitney Ranch Phase II (with an equivalent per dwelling unit tax being assessed to multi-family properties) for fiscal year 2025-26 for maintenance of interior street lighting and landscape maintenance costs.
The special tax to be levied annually by CFD No. 1 commences with respect to a given parcel only upon completion of a structure on that parcel. The special tax annually levied by CFD No. 5 and the annual assessment levied by LLD No. 2 may be imposed at any time following annexation.
The range of charges for single family residences in the above districts, regardless of Whitney Ranch overlap, for fiscal year 2025-26 are approximately as follows:
Lowest Highest
CFD No. 1 $70.00 $1,264.62
CFD No. 5 $47.88 $1994.82
LLD No. 2 $5.00 $654.04
Pursuant to authorization received from the qualified electors of the City at the general election held on November 3, 1998 , and re-authorized at a general election held on November 6, 2018, the City Council levies a supplemental special parcel tax for parks and maintenance on improved single-family lots in the amount of $30 annually, on improved multi -family parcels in the amount of $20 per unit annually, and on affordable senior citizen units, as well as unimproved single and multi-family parcels which are included in a subdivision final map filed with the City , in the amount of $10 per unit.
Other Overlapping Special Tax and Assessment Districts. A community facilities district established by the Rocklin Unified Sc hool District (the “School CFD No. 3 ”) overlaps taxable properties which are located within and which are subject to the Special Taxes imposed by the District. The rate and method of apportionment of special taxes applicable to the School CFD No. 3 applies to residential property only. The maximum special tax that may be levied, in fiscal year 2022- 23, against each single family developed parcel is expected to be $ 908.05, with two percent increases per year. If necessary, the undeveloped approved parcels may be assigned a back -up tax rate up to the corresponding developed parcel rate. School CFD No. 3 received voter authorization to issue $36,000,000 in special tax bonds . Bonds have been issued for School CFD 397
30 No. 3, the special taxes levied on parcels within School CFD No. 3 are being used for debt service on the Rocklin Unified School District CFD No. 3 bonds outstanding in the amount of $21,032,787, as indicated in footnote 1 to Table 7.
Other overlapping assessments for the taxable properties encompasse d by the District include annual assessment levies which are imposed by the Placer County Water Agency and by the Placer County Mosquito Abatement District. These levies are projected to total approximately $31.90 per single family parcel for Fiscal Year 2022-23.
Other public agencies whose boundaries overlap those of the District could, without the consent of the City and in certain cases without the consent of the owners of the land within the District, impose additional taxes or assessment liens on the land within the District. The purpose would likely be to finance additional regional or local public improvements or services. The lien created on the land within the District through the levy of such additional taxes or assessments may be on parity with the lien of the Special Tax. In addition, construction loans may be obtained by the Master Developer or home loans may be obtained by ultimate homeowners. The deeds of trust securing such debt on property within the District, however, will be in a junior position to the lien of the Special Tax.

31 Estimated Effective Tax Rate on Single Family Home
The Tax Consultant has estimated that the projected overall effective tax rate for a single- family residential property in the District with a median complete assessed value is approximately
1.60% for Fiscal Year 2025-26, as shown in the following table. This figure may be slightly higher for certain parcels, including parcels participating in a solar assessment financing program (PACE program) offered by the County.

32 RISK FACTORS
The purchase of the 2025 Bonds described in this Official Statement involves a degree of risk that may not be appropriate for some investors. The following includes a discussion of some of the risks which should be considered before making an investment decision.
Limited Obligation of the City to Pay Debt Service
The City has no obligation to pay principal of and interest on the 2025 Bonds in the event Special Tax collections are delinquent, other than from amounts, if an y, on deposit in the 2025 Reserve Account or funds derived from the tax sale or foreclosure and sale of parcels on which levies of the Special Tax are delinquent, nor is the City obligated to advance funds to pay such debt service on the 2025 Bonds. The 2025 Bonds are not general obligations of the City but are limited obligations of the City and the District payable solely from the proceeds of the Special Tax and certain funds held under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, including amounts deposited in the 2025 Reserve Account and investment income thereon, and the proceeds, if any, from the sale of property in the event of a foreclosure. See “SECURITY FOR THE BONDS.” Any tax for the payment of the 2025 Bonds will be limited to the Special Tax to be collected within the jurisdiction of the District.
Remaining Property Development
Taxable land in the District is largely built -out and owned by individual homeowners.
Continuing development of the remaining undeveloped parcels in the District may be adversely affected by changes in general or local economic conditions, fluctuations in or a deterioration of the real estate market, increased construction costs, development, financing and marketing capabilities of the merchant homebuilders active in the community, water or electricity shortages, discovery on the undeveloped property of any plants or animals in their habitat that have been listed as endangered species, changes in laws, and other factors outside the control of the owners of land in the District. Development in the District may also be affected by development in surrounding areas, which may compete with the property in the District . See “ –Property Values and Property Development.”
Exempt Properties
Certain properties are exempt from the Special Tax in accordance with the Special Tax Formula. In addition, the Act provides that properties or entities of the state, federal or local government are exempt from the Special Tax; provided, however, that propert y within the District acquired by a public entity through a negotiated transaction, or by gift or devise, that is not otherwise exempt from the Special Tax, will continue to be subject to the Special Tax. It is possible that property acquired by a public entity following a tax sale or foreclosure based upon failure to pay taxes could become exempt from the Special Tax. In addition, the Act provides that if property subject to the Special Tax is acquired by a public entity through eminent domain proceedings, the obligation to pay the Special Tax with respect to that property, for outstanding Bonds only, is to be treated as if it were a special assessment. The constitutionality and operation of these provisions of the Act have not been tested.
In particular, insofar as the Act requires payment of the Special Tax by a federal entity acquiring property within the District, it may be unconstitutional. If for any reason property within the District becomes exempt from taxation by reason of ownership by a nontaxabl e entity such as the federal government or another public agency, subject to the limitation of the Maximum Special Tax, the Special Tax will be reallocated to the remaining taxable properties within the District. This would 400
33 result in the owners of such property paying a greater amount of the Special Tax and could have an adverse impact upon the timely payment of the Special Tax. Moreover, if a substantial portion of land within the District becomes exempt from th e Special Tax because of public ownership, or otherwise, the maximum rate that could be levied upon the remaining acreage might not be sufficient to pay principal of and interest on the 2025 Bonds when due and a default would occur with respect to the payment of such principal and interest
Property Values and Property Development
The value of Taxable Property within the District is a critical factor in determining the investment quality of the 2025 Bonds. If a property owner defaults in the payment of the Special Tax, the District’s only remedy is to foreclose on the delinquent property in an attempt to obtain funds with which to pay the delinquent Special Tax. Land development and land values could be adversely affected by economic and other factors beyond the District ’s control, such as: a general economic downturn; adverse judgments in future litigation that could affect the scope, timing or viability of development; relocation of employers out of the area; stricter land use regulations; shortages of water, electricity, natural gas or other utilities; destruction of property caused by earthquake, flood or other natural disasters; environmental pollution or contamination.
Neither the Underwriter nor t he City has evaluated development risks. Since these are largely business risks of the type that property owners customarily evaluate individually, and inasmuch as changes in land ownership may well mean changes in the evaluation with respect to any particular parcel, the District is issuing the 2025 Bonds without regard to any such evaluation.
Thus, the creation of the District and the issuance of the 2025 Bonds in no way imply that the District or the City has evaluated these risks or the reasonableness of these risks.
The following is a discussion of specific risk factors that could affect the timing or scope of property development in the District or the value of property in the District.
Land Development. Land values are influenced by the level of development in the area in many respects.
First, undeveloped or partially developed land is generally less valuable than developed land and provides less security to the owners of the 2025 Bonds should it be necessary for the District to foreclose on undeveloped or partially developed property due to the nonpayment of Special Taxes.
Second, failure to complete development on a timely basis could adversely affect the land values of those parcels that have been completed. Lower land values would resu lt in less security for the payment of principal of and interest on the 2025 Bonds and lower proceeds from any foreclosure sale necessitated by delinquencies in the payment of the Special Tax. See “ESTIMATED VALUE OF PROPERTY WITHIN THE DISTRICT – Value to Lien Ratios.” No assurance can be given that the proposed development within the District will be completed, and in assessing the investment quality of the 2025 Bonds, prospective purchasers should evaluate the risks of noncompletion.
Neither th e Master Developer nor any merchant homebuilder active in the community provides assurances to the City that the remaining undeveloped portions of the project will be developed or that sources of financing that will actually be available to the Master Developer or the applicable merchant homebuilder will be sufficient to complete its currently projected development.
Neither the Master Developer nor any merchant homebuilder active in the community has an 401
34 obligation to the City or to owners of the 2025 Bonds to complete its development project in the District.
Risks of Real Estate Investment Generally . Continuing development of land within the District may be adversely affected by changes in general or local economic conditions, fluctuations in the real estate market, increased construction costs, development, financing and marketing capabilities of individual property owners, water or electricity short ages, and other similar factors.
Development in the District may also be affected by development in surrounding areas, which may compete with the District. In addition, land development operations are subject to comprehensive federal, state and local reg ulations, including environmental, land use, zoning and building requirements. There can be no assurance that proposed land development operations within the District will not be adversely affected by future government policies, including, but not limited to, governmental policies to restrict or control development, or future growth control initiatives. There can be no assurance that land development operations within the District will not be adversely affected by these risks.
Natural Disasters. The value of the parcels in the District in the future can be adversely affected by a variety of natural occurrences, particularly those that may affect infrastructure and other public improvements and private improvements on the parcels in the District and the continued habitability and enjoyment of such private improvements. For example, the areas in and surrounding the District, like those in much of California, may be subject to earthquakes or other unpredictable seismic activity, however, the District is not located in a seismic special studies zone.
Other natural disasters could include, without limitation, landslides, floods, droughts, wildfire or tornadoes. One or more natural disasters could occur and could result in damage to improvements of varyin g seriousness. The damage may entail significant repair or replacement costs and that repair or replacement may never occur either because of the cost, or because repair or replacement will not facilitate habitability or other use, or because other consid erations preclude such repair or replacement. Under any of these circumstances there could be significant delinquencies in the payment of Special Taxes, and the value of the parcels may well depreciate.
Drought Conditions. In recent years, California has experienced significant droughts that have resulted in severe impacts to California’s water supplies and their ability to meet all the demands for water in the State. The City cannot predict how long any future drought will last or what effect drought conditions could have on the willingness of property taxpayers in the District to pay their Special Taxes.
Hazardous Substances. Although the City is not aware that the owner (or operator) of any of the property within the District has a current liability for a hazardous substance with respect to any of the parcels, it is possible that such liabilities do currently exist and that the City is not aware of them. A “Phase 1” environmental site assessment was prepared for the property in the District (not including the specific plan Phase 3 property), which did not indicate the presence of any hazardous substance or other environmental concerns within the District.
Endangered and Threatened Species. It is illegal to harm or disturb any plants or animals in their habitat that have been listed as endangered species by the United States Fish & Wildlife Service under the Federal Endangered Species Act or by the California Fish & Game Commission under the California Endangered Species Act without a permit . Although the Master Developer believes that no federally listed endangered or threatened species would be affected by the proposed development within the District, other than any that are permitted by the entitlements 402
35 already received, the discovery of an endangered plant or animal could delay development of vacant property in the District or reduce the value of undeveloped property.
Wildfires and Fire Insurance
Wildfires. In the past, drought conditions in the State (see “Property Values and Property Development – Drought” above) have led to increased risk of wildfire. In particular, certain electrical operators in the State have seen their distribution/transmission lines cause billi ons of dollars in property damage and the loss of lives. In 2023, as in several prior years, for example, devastating wildfires burned in various communities in California, causing wide -spread damage. In 2025, communities in Los Angeles County, including Pacific Palisades, Malibu and Altadena, experienced widespread devastation from wildfires causing losses of life, thousands of burned homes, and billions of dollars in property damage. Although not located in a very high fire hazard severity zone, no assur ance can be given that wildfires will not erupt in the District and negatively impact development of property in the District or willingness and ability to pay property taxes in the future.
On January 16, 2025, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-10-25 (the “Governor’s Order ”) which canceled penalties, costs and interest on overdue property taxes (including special taxes) within certain zip codes affected by the Palisades Fire and the Altadena Fire during calendar year 2025. This will likely ca use a delay in the payment of special taxes by certain property owners in any community facilities districts affected by Governor’s Order. Unless the majority of property owners within the community facilities districts pay their special taxes voluntarily or have mortgage impound accounts, it is likely that the community facilities districts will need to draw upon a reserve fund to make debt service payments on outstanding bonds prior to the expiration of the Governor’s Order and it is possible that outsta nding bonds will experience a payment default. In the event of a major fire or other natural disaster affecting the District, a similar order affecting the District could impact the debt service payment for the 2025 Bonds.
Fire Insurance . Fire insurance has become increasingly costly for homeowners, with several major insurers no longer willing to insure homes in California. In many instances existing policies are not being renewed, or if renewed and subject to substantial increases in premium cost.
Should homeowners within the District be unable to obtain fire insurance or face high premium costs, they may be resistant to a new home purchase or not be able to qualify for a mortgage, which in turn may affect the rate of home sales within the District. Although to the City’s knowledge, homeowners have not experienced issues obtaining fire insurance when purchasing homes in the District, no assurance can be given that going forward fire insurance will be readily available at a reasonable price to homeowners within the District.
Enforceability of Remedies
The remedies available to the Fiscal Agent and the registered owners of the 2025 Bonds upon a default under the Fiscal Agent Agreement or any other document described in this Official Statement are in many respects dependent upon regulatory and judicial actions that are often subject to discretion and delay. Under existing law and judicial decisions, the remedies provided for under such documents may not be readily available or may be limited. Any legal opinions to be delivered concurrently with the issuance of the 2025 Bonds will be qualified to the extent that the enforceability of the legal documents with respect to the 2025 Bonds is subject to limitations i mposed by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and by equitable remedies and proceedings generally.
403
36 Judicial remedies, such as foreclosure and enforcement of covenants, are subject to exercise of judicial discretion. A California court may not strictly apply certain remedies or enforce certain covenants if it concludes that application or enforcement would be unreasonable under the circumstances and it may delay the application of such remedies and enforcement.
Levy and Collection of Special Taxes
General. The principal source of payment of principal of and interest on the 2025 Bonds is the proceeds of the annual levy and collection of the Special Tax against property within the District.
Limitation on Maximum Special Tax Rate. The annual levy of the Special Tax is subject to the maximum annual Special Tax rate authorized in the Special Tax Formula. The levy cannot be made at a higher rate even if the failure to do so means that the estimated proceeds of the levy and collection of the Special Tax, together with other available funds, will not be sufficient to pay debt service on the Bonds.
In addition to the maximum annual Special Tax rate limitation in the Special Tax Formula, Section 53321(d) of the Act provides that the special tax levied against any parcel for which an occupancy permit for private residential use has been is sued may not be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other parcel within a community facilities district by more than 10% above the amount that would have been levied in such Fiscal Year had there never been any such del inquencies or defaults. In cases of significant delinquency, these factors may result in defaults in the payment of principal of and interest on the 2025 Bonds.
No Relationship Between Property Value and Special Tax Levy. Because the Special Tax formula set forth in the Special Tax Formula is not based on property value, the levy of the Special Tax will rarely, if ever, result in a uniform relationship between the value of particular parcels of Taxable Property and the amount of the levy of the Specia l Tax against those parcels. Thus, there will rarely, if ever, be a uniform relationship between the value of the parcels of Taxable Property and their proportionate share of debt service on the Bonds, and certainly not a direct relationship.
Legal Requirements. Other events that may affect the value of a parcel include changes in the law or application of the law. Such changes may include, without limitation, local growth control initiatives, local utility connection moratoriums and local application o f statewide tax and governmental spending limitation measures. Development in the District may also be adversely affected by the application of laws protecting endangered or threatened species.
Factors that Could Lead to Special Tax Deficiencies. The f ollowing are some of the factors that might cause the levy of the Special Tax on any particular parcel of Taxable Property to vary from the Special Tax that might otherwise be expected:
Transfers to Governmental Entities. The number of parcels of Taxable Property could be reduced through the acquisition of Taxable Property by a governmental entity and failure of the government to pay the Special Tax based upon a claim of exemption or, in the case of the federal government or an agency thereof, immunity from taxation, thereby resulting in an increased tax burden on the remaining taxed parcels.
Property Tax Delinquencies . Failure of the owners of Taxable Property to pay property taxes (and, consequently, the Special Tax), or delays in the collection of or inability to collect the Special Tax by tax sale or foreclosure and sale of the delinquent parcels, could 404
37 result in a deficiency in the collection of Special Tax revenues. See “– Tax Delinquencies” below. For a summary of recent Special Tax collection and delinquency rates in the District, see “THE DISTRICT – Special Tax Collection and Delinquency Rates.”
Delays Following Special Tax Delinquencies and Foreclosure Sales. The Fiscal Agent Agreement generally provides that the Special Tax is to be collected in the same manner as ordinary ad valorem property taxes are collected and, except as provided in the special covenant for foreclosure described in “SECURITY FOR THE BONDS – Delinquent Payments; Foreclosure Covenant” and in the Act, is subject to the sam e penalties and the same procedure, sale and lien priority in case of delinquency as is provided for ordinary ad valorem property taxes. Under these procedures, if taxes are unpaid for a period of five years or more, the property is deeded to the State and then is subject to sale by the County.
If sales or foreclosures of property are necessary, there could be a delay in payments to owners of the 2025 Bonds pending such sales or the prosecution of foreclosure proceedings and receipt by the City of the proceeds of sale if the 2025 Reserve Account is depleted. See “SECURITY FOR THE BONDS – Delinquent Payments; Foreclosure Covenant.”
The ability of the City to collect interest and penalties specified by State law and to foreclose against properties having delinquent Special Tax installments may be limited in certain respects with regard to properties in which the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) has or obtains an interest. The FDIC would obtain such an interest by taking over a financial institution that has made a loan that is secured by property within the District. Federal courts have held that, based on the supremacy clause of the United States Constitution, in the absence of Congressional intent to the contrary, a state or local age ncy cannot foreclose to collect delinquent taxes or assessments if foreclosure would impair the federal government interest. Moreover, unless Congress has otherwise provided, if the federal government has a mortgage interest in the parcel and the City wish es to foreclose on the parcel as a result of delinquent Special Taxes, the property cannot be sold at a foreclosure sale unless it can be sold for an amount sufficient to pay delinquent taxes and assessments on a parity with the Special Taxes and preserve the federal government’s mortgage interest. In Rust v. Johnson (9th Circuit; 1979) 597 F.2d 174, the United States Court of Appeal, Ninth Circuit held that the Federal National Mortgage Association (“ FNMA”) is a federal instrumentality for purposes of this doctrine, and not a private entity, and that, as a result, an exercise of state power over a mortgage interest held by FNMA constitutes an exercise of state power over property of the United States.
Other laws generally affecting creditors ’ rights or relating to judicial foreclosure may affect the ability to enforce payment of Special Taxes or the timing of enforcement of Special Taxes. For example, the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act of 1940 affords protections such as a stay in enforcement of the foreclosure covenant, a six-month period after termination of military service to redeem property sold to enforce the collection of a tax or assessment and a limitation on the interest rate on the delinquent tax or assessment to persons in military se rvice if the court concludes the ability to pay such taxes or assessments is materially affected by reason of such service.
Bankruptcy and Foreclosure Delays
The payment of the Special Tax and the ability of the District to foreclose the lien of a delinquent unpaid tax, as discussed in “SECURITY FOR THE BONDS — Delinquent Payments; Foreclosure Covenant,” may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws ge nerally affecting creditors’ rights or by the laws of the State of California relating to judicial foreclosure. The various legal opinions to be delivered concurrently with the delivery of the 2025 Bonds (including Bond 405
38 Counsel’s approving legal opinion) will be qualified as to the enforceability of the various legal instruments by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights, by the application of equitable principles and by the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases.
Although bankruptcy proceedings would not cause the Special Taxes to become extinguished, bankruptcy of a property owner could result in a delay in prosecuting superior court foreclosure proceedings and could result in the possibility of delinquent Special Tax installments not being paid in full. Such a delay would increase the likelihood of a delay or default in payment of the principal of and interest on the 2025 Bonds. To the extent that property in the District conti nues to be owned by a limited number of property owners, the chances are increased that the 2025 Reserve Account established for the 2025 Bonds could be fully depleted during any such delay in obtaining payment of delinquent Special Taxes. As a result, su fficient moneys would not be available in the 2025 Reserve Account for transfer to the Bond Fund to make up shortfalls resulting from delinquent payments of the Special Tax and thereby to pay principal of and interest on the 2025 Bonds on a timely basis.
To the extent that bankruptcy or similar proceedings were to involve a large property owner, the chances would increase the likelihood that the 2025 Reserve Account could be fully depleted during any resulting delay in receiving payment of delinquent Special Taxes. As a result, sufficient monies would not be available in the 2025 Reserve Account for transfer to the Bond Fund to make up any shortfalls resulting from delinquent payments of the Special Tax and thereby to pay principal of and interest on the 2025 Bonds on a timely basis.
Parity Taxes and Special Assessments; Private Debt
The City, the County and certain other public agencies are authorized by the Act to form other community facilities districts and improvement areas and, under other provisions of State law, to form special assessment districts, either or both of which could include all or a portion of the land within the District.
Property in the District is currently subject to certain overlapping tax and assessment liens, as shown in the overlapping debt statement. In general, the liens of these other taxes and assessments are independent and co -equal to the lien securing the Special Taxes. See “ESTIMATED VALUE OF PROPERTY WITHIN THE DISTRICT – Priority of Lien.”
There can be no assurance that property owners within the District will not petition for the formation of other community facilities districts and improvement areas or for a special assessment district or districts and that parity special taxes or special assessments will not be levied by the City or some other public agency to finance additional public faci lities. In addition to liens for special taxes or assessments to finance public improvements of benefit to land within the District, owners of property may obtain loans from banks or other private sources which loans may be secured by a lien on the parcels in the District. Such loans would increase amounts owed by the owner of such parcel with respect to development of its property in the District. However, the lien of such loans would be subordinate to the lien of the Special Taxes.
406
39 Tax Delinquencies
Under provisions of the Act, the Special Taxes will be billed to the properties within the District on the regular property tax bills sent to owners of such properties. Such Special Tax installments are due and payable, a nd bear the same penalties and interest for nonpayment, as do regular property tax installments. Special Tax installment payments cannot be made separately from property tax payments. Therefore, the unwillingness or inability of a property owner to pay r egular property tax bills as evidenced by property tax delinquencies may also indicate an unwillingness or inability to make regular property tax payments and Special Tax payments in the future.
The annual Special Tax will be billed and collected in two i nstallments payable without penalty by December 10 and April 10. In the event such Special Taxes are not timely paid, moneys available to pay debt service on the 2025 Bonds becoming due on the subsequent respective March 1 and September 1 may be insufficient, except to the extent moneys are available in the 2025 Reserve Account.
In the event of non -payment of Special Taxes, funds in the 2025 Reserve Account , if available, may be used to pay principal of and interest on the 2025 Bonds. If funds in the 2025 Reserve Account are depleted, the funds can be replenished from the proceeds of the levy and collection of the Special Tax that are in excess of the amount required to pay all amounts to be paid to the 2025 Bond holders pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement. However, no replenishment from the proceeds of a Special Tax levy can occur as long as the proceeds that are collected from the levy of the Special Tax against proper ty within the District at the maximum Special Tax rates, together with other available funds, remains insufficient to pay all such amounts. Thus it is possible that the 2025 Reserve Account will be depleted and not be replenished by the levy of the Specia l Tax.
See “SECURITY FOR THE BONDS — Delinquent Payments; Foreclosure Covenant” for a discussion of the provisions which apply, and procedures which the City is obligated to follow, in the event of delinquency in the payment of Special Taxes. See also “SECURITY FOR THE BONDS — Special Tax Methodology – Limitation on Increases of Special Tax Levy” for a discussion of a limitation imposed by the Act applicable to Special Tax increases on residential property.
Disclosure to Future Purchasers
The willingness or ability of an owner of a parcel to pay the Special Tax, even if the value of the property is sufficient to justify payment, may be affected by whether or not the owner was given due notice of the Special Tax authorization at the time the owner purchased the parcel, was informed of the amount of the Special Tax on the parcel should the Special Tax be levied at the maximum tax rate and, at the time of such a levy, has the ability to pay it as well as pay other expenses and obligations. The City has caused a Notice of Special Tax Lien to be recorded in the Office of the Recorder for the County against the real property in the District. Although title companies normally refer to such notices in title reports, there can be no guarantee that such reference will be made or, if made, that a prospective purchaser or lender will consider such Special Tax obligation when purchasing real property within the District or lending money thereon, as applicable.
California Civil Code Section 1102.6b requires that, in the case of transfers, the seller must at least make a good faith effort to notify the prospective purchaser of the special tax lien in a format prescribed by statute. Failure by an owner of the property to comply w ith the above requirements, or failure by a purchaser or lessor to consider or understand the nature and existence of the Special 407
40 Tax, could adversely affect the willingness and ability of the purchaser or lessor to pay the Special Tax when due.
No Acceleration Provisions
The 2025 Bonds do not contain a provision allowing for the acceleration of the 2025 Bonds in the event of a payment default or other default under the terms of the 2025 Bonds or the Fiscal Agent Agreement. Under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, a Bond holder is given the right for the equal benefit and protection of all Bond holders similarly situated to pursue certain remedies. So long as the 2025 Bonds are in book -entry form, DT C will be the sole Bond holder and will be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies of Bond holders.
Ballot Initiatives
From time to time, initiative measures qualify for the State ballot pursuant to the State ’s constitutional initiative process and those measures could be adopted by California voters. The adoption of any such initiative might place limitations on the ability of the State, the City, the County or other local districts to increase revenues or to increa se appropriations or on the ability of the landowners to complete the development of the District. See “Property Values and Property Development – Land Development” above. See also “Proposition 218” below.
Voter Initiatives
Under the California Constitution, the power of initiative is reserved to the voters for the purpose of enacting statutes and constitutional amendments. Since 1978, the voters have exercised this power through the adoption of Proposition 13 and similar measures, including Proposition 218, which was approved in the general election held on November 5, 1996, and Proposition 26, which was approved on November 2, 2010.
Any such initiative may affect the collection of fees, taxes and other types of revenue by local agencies such as the District. Subject to overriding federal constitutional principles, such collection may be materially and adversely affected by voter -approved initiatives, possibly to the extent of creating cash -flow problems in the payment of outstanding obligations such as the Special Tax Bonds.
Proposition 218 —Voter Approval for Local Government Taxes —Limitation on Fees, Assessments, and Charges—Initiative Constitutional Amendment, added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitu tion, imposing certain vote requirements and other limitations on the imposition of new or increased taxes, assessments and property-related fees and charges.
On November 2, 2010, California voters approved Proposition 26, entitled the “Supermajority Vote to Pass New Taxes and Fees Act.” Section 1 of Proposition 26 declares that Proposition 26 is intended to limit the ability of the State Legislature and local government to circumvent existing restrictions on increasing taxes by defining the new or exp anded taxes as “fees.” Proposition 26 amended Articles XIIIA and XIIIC of the State Constitution. The amendments to Article XIIIA limit the ability of the State Legislature to impose higher taxes (as defined in Proposition 26) without a two - thirds vote of the Legislature. Article XIIIC requires that all new local taxes be submitted to the electorate before they become effective. Taxes for general governmental purposes require a majority vote and taxes for specific purposes (“special taxes”) require a two-thirds vote.
408
41 The Special Taxes and the 2025 Bonds were each authorized by not less than a two -thirds vote of the landowners within the District who constituted the qualified electors at the time of such voted authorization. The District believes, therefo re, that issuance of the 2025 Bonds does not require the conduct of further proceedings under the Mello-Roos Act, Proposition 218 or Proposition
26. Like their antecedents, Proposition 218 and Proposition 26 are likely to undergo both judicial and legislative scrutiny before the impact on the District can be determined. Certain provisions of Proposition 218 and Proposition 26 may be examined by the courts for their constitutionality under both State and federal constitutional law, the outcome of which cannot be predicted.
Case Law Related to the Mello-Roos Act
On August 1, 2014, the California Court of Appeal, Fourth Appellate District, issued its opinion in City of San Diego v. Melvin Shapiro, et al. (D063997). The case involved a Convention Center Facilities District (the “CCFD”) established by the City of San Diego. The CCFD is a financing district established under the City ’s charter (the “Charter”) and was intended to function much like a community facilities district established under the Mello-Roos Act. The CCFD was comprised of all of the real property in the entire City. However, the CCFD special tax was to be levied only on properties in the CCFD that were improved with a hotel.
At the ele ction to authorize the CCFD special tax, the CCFD proceedings limited the electorate to owners of hotel properties and lessees of real property owned by a governmental entity on which a hotel was located. Registered voters in the City of San Diego were not permitted to vote.
This definition of the qualified electors of the CCFD was based on Section 53326(c) of the Mello - Roos Act, which generally provides that, if a special tax will not be apportioned in any tax year on residential property, the legislative body may provide that the vote shall be by the landowners of the proposed community facilities district whose property would be subject to the special tax.
The San Diego Court held that the CCFD special tax election did not comply with the City’s Charter and with applicable provisions of the California Constitution -- specifically Article XIIIA, section 4 (“Cities, Counties and special districts, by a two-thirds vote of the qualified electors of such district, may impose special taxes on such district…. ”) and Article XIIIC, section 2(d) ( “No local government may impose, extend, or increase any special tax unless and until that tax is submitted to the electorate and approved by a two-thirds vote.”) -- because the electors in the CCFD election should have b een the registered voters residing within the CCFD (the boundaries of which were coterminous with the boundaries of the City of San Diego).
As to the District, there were no registered voters within the District at the time of the election to authorize the Special Taxes. Significantly, the San Diego Court expressly stated that it was not addressing the validity of a landowner election to impose special taxes on residential property pursuant to the Mello -Roos Act in situations where there are fewer than 12 registered voters.
Therefore, by its terms, the San Diego Court’s holding does not apply to the special tax election in the District.
Moreover, Sections 53341 and 53359 of the Act establish a limited period of time in which special taxes levied under the Mello-Roos Act may be challenged by a third party:
53341. Any action or proceeding to attack, review, set aside, void, or annul the levy of a special tax or an increase in a special tax pursuant to [the Mello-Roos Act] shall be commenced within 30 days after the special tax is approved by the voters…. 409
42 53359. An action to determine the validity of bonds issued pursuant to [the Mello - Roos Act] or the validity of any special taxes levied pursuant to [the Mello-Roos Act] … shall …. be commenced within 3 0 days after the voters approve the issuance of the bonds or the special tax …
Landowner voters approved the Special Taxes and the issuance of bonds for the District in compliance with all applicable requirements of the Mello-Roos Act. Therefore, pursuant to Sections 53341 and 53359 of the Mello-Roos Act, the statute of limitations period to challenge the validity of the special tax has expired.
Because the San Diego Court expressly stated that it did not consider the facts presented by the District and because the period for challenging the Special Taxes has passed, the City believes the Special Taxes are valid and cannot be challenged.
Changes in Law
There can be no assurance that the California electorate will not at some future time adopt initiatives or that the Legislature will not enact legislation that will amend the Act or other laws or the Constitution of the State resulting in a reduction of Special Tax Revenues available to pay debt service on the 2025 Bonds.
Loss of Tax Exemption
As discussed under the caption “TAX MATTERS,” interest on the 2025 Bonds could become includable in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation retroactive to the date the 2025 Bonds were issued, as a result of future acts or omissions of the City in violation of its covenants in the Fiscal Agent Agreement. In addition, current and future legislative proposals, if enacted into law, may cause interest on the 2025 Bonds to be subject, directly or indirectly, to federal income taxation by, for example, changing the current exclusion or deduction rules to limit the aggregate amount of interest on state and local government bond s that may be treated as tax exempt by individuals.
Should such an event of taxability occur, the 2025 Bonds are not subject to special redemption and will remain outstanding until maturity or until redeemed under other provisions set forth in the Fiscal Agent Agreement.
Secondary Market
There can be no guarantee that there will be a secondary market for the 2025 Bonds, or, if a secondary market exists, that the 2025 Bonds can be sold for any particular price. Occasionally, because of general market conditions or because of adverse history or economic prospects connected with a particular issue, secondary marketing practices in connection with a particular issue are suspended or terminated. Additionally, prices of issues for which a market is being made will depend upon the then prevailing circumstances.
Public Health Emergencies and Perceptions
In recent years, public health authorities have increasingly focused on pandemic diseases such as the COVID-19, resulting in a greater public concern of new or ongoing health emergencies or threats posed by outbreaks of disease and other public health threats. Pandemic diseases or perceptions of imminen t serious disease outbreaks arising in the future could have significant adverse health and financial impacts throughout the world, leading to loss of jobs and personal 410
43 financial hardships, and/or actions by federal, State and local governmental authorities to contain or mitigate the effects of an outbreak.
Taxpayer assistance measures may include deferral of due dates of property taxes, which was an assistance program during the COVID -19 pandemic, and with or without a deferral some taxpayers may be unable to make their property and Special Tax payments. No assurance can be given that the property tax payment dates will not be deferred in the future, which may cause a delay in the receipt of Special Taxes. In addition, home values may be affected by a reduction in demand stemming from personal finances, or general widespread economic circumstances resulting from pandemic diseases.
Cyber Security
The City, like many other public and private entities, relies on computer and other digital networks and systems to conduct its operations. As a recipient and provider of personal, private or other sensitive electronic information, the City is potentially subject to multiple cyber threats, including without limitation hacking, viruses, ransomware, malware and other attacks. No assurance can be given that the City ’s efforts to manage cyber threats and attacks will be successful in all cases, or that any such attack will not materially impact the operations or finances of the City or the District, or the administration of the Bonds. The City is also reliant on other entities and service providers in connection with the administration of the Bonds, including without limitation the County tax collector for the levy and collection of Special Taxes, the Fiscal Agent, and the dissemination agent. No assurance can be given that the City, the District and these other entities will not be affected by cyber threats and attacks in a manner that may affect the Bond owners.
Bonds Subject to Special Mandatory Redemption from Prepayments
The 2025 Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption from prepayment of special taxes. Such prepayments could be made by any of the owners of any of the property within the District, including the Master Developer, merchant homebuilder s active in the community and individual property owner s. Such prepayments c ould also be made from the proceeds of bonds issued by or on behalf of an over -lapping special assessment district or community facilities district. The resulting redemption of 2025 Bonds that were purchased at a price greater than the applicable redemption price could reduce the otherwise expected yield on such 2025 Bonds.
One undeveloped property owner in the District, Rocklin 688 LP Lessee Et Al, prepaid its special tax obligation in the approximate amount of $1.3 million in 2022 . There has been no prepayments since 2022.
411
44 CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATIONS ON TAXATION AND APPROPRIATIONS
Article XIIIA of the California Constitution, commonly known as “Proposition 13,” provides that each county will levy the maximum ad valorem property tax permitted by Proposition 13 and will distribute the proceeds to local agencies in accordance with an allocation formula based in part on pre-Proposition 13 ad valorem property tax rates levied by local agencies.
Article XIIIA limits the maximum ad valorem tax on real property to 1% of “full cash value,” which is defined as the County Assessor ’s valuation of real property as shown on the 1975 -76 tax bill under full cash value, or, thereafter, the appraised value of real property when purchased, newly constructed, or a change in ownership has occurred after the 1975 assessment. The full cash value may be adjusted annually to reflect increases of no more than 2% per year or decreases in the consumer price index or comparable local data, or declining property value caused by damage, destruction or other factors.
Article XIIIA exempts from the 1% tax limitation any taxes to repay indebtedness approved by the voters prior to July 1, 1978, and requir es a vote of two -thirds of the qualified electorate to impose Special Taxes or any additional ad valorem, sales, or transaction taxes on real property. In addition, Article XIIIA requires the approval of two -thirds of all members of the State Legislature to change any State laws resulting in increased tax revenues. On June 3, 1986, California voters approved an amendment to Article XIIIA of the California Constitution to allow local governments and school districts to raise their property tax rates above the constitutionally mandated 1% ceiling for the purpose of paying off certain new general obligation debt issued for the acquisition or improvement of real property and approved by two-thirds of the votes cast by the qualified electorate.
If any such voter-approved debt is issued, it may be on parity with the lien of the Special Tax on the parcels within the District.
State and local government agencies in the State, and the State itself are subject to annual appropriation limits, imposed by Article XIIIB of the State Constitution. Article XIIIB prohibits government agencies and the State from spending “appropriations subject to limitation” in excess of the appropriations limits imposed. “Appropriations subject to limitation” are authorizations to spend “proceeds of taxes,” which consist of tax revenues, certain state subventions and certain other funds, including proceeds from regulatory licenses, user charges or other fees to the extent that such proceeds exceed the cost reasonably borne by such entity in providing the reg ulation, product or service. No limit is imposed on appropriations of funds which are not “proceeds of taxes” such as debt service on indebtedness existing or authorized before January 1, 1979, or subsequently authorized by the voters, appropriations requ ired to comply with mandates of courts or the federal government, reasonable user charges or fees and certain other non-tax funds.
TAX MATTERS
Federal Tax Status. In the opinion of Jones Hall LLP, as Bond Counsel, subject, however to the qualifications set forth below, under existing law, the interest on the 2025 Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and such interest is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum t ax. Interest on the 2025 Bonds may be subject to the corporate alternative minimum tax.
The opinions set forth in the preceding paragraph are subject to the condition that the City comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amen ded (the “Tax Code”) relating to the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on obligations 412
45 such as the 2025 Bonds. The City has made certain representations and covenants in order to comply with each such requirement. Inaccuracy of those representations, or failure to comply with certain of those covenants, may cause the inclusion of such interest in gross income for federal income tax purposes, which may be retroactive to the date of issuance of the 2025 Bonds.
Tax Treatment of Original Issue Discount and Premium. If the initial offering price to the public at which a 2019 Bond is sold is less than the amount payable at maturity thereof, then such difference constitutes “original issue discount” for purposes of federal income taxes and State of California personal income taxes. If the initial offering price to the public at which a 2019 Bond is sold is greater than the amount payable at maturity thereof, then such difference constitutes “original issue premium” for purposes of federal income taxes and State of California personal income taxes.
De minimis original issue discount and original issue premium are disregarded.
Under the Tax Code, original issue discount is treated as interest excluded from federal gross income and exempt from State of California personal income taxes to the extent properly allocable to each owner thereof subject to the limitations described in the first paragraph of this section. The original issue discount accrues over the term to maturity of the 2019 Bond on the basis of a constant interest rate compounded on each interest or principal payment date (with straight-line interpolations between compounding dates). The amount of original issue discount a ccruing during each period is added to the adjusted basis of such 2025 Bonds to determine taxable gain upon disposition (including sale, redemption, or payment on maturity) of such 2019 Bond. The Tax Code contains certain provisions relating to the accrua l of original issue discount in the case of purchasers of the 2025 Bonds who purchase the 2025 Bonds after the initial offering of a substantial amount of such maturity. Owners of such 2025 Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of ownership of 2025 Bonds with original issue discount, including the treatment of purchasers who do not purchase in the original offering, the allowance of a deduction for any loss on a sale or other disposition, and the treatment of accr ued original issue discount on such 2025 Bonds under federal individual alternative minimum taxes.
Under the Tax Code, original issue premium is amortized on an annual basis over the term of the 2025 Bond (said term being the shorter of the 2025 Bond’s maturity date or its call date). The amount of original issue premium amortized each year reduces the adjusted basis of the owner of the 2025 Bond for purposes of determining taxable gain or loss upon disposition. The amount of original issue premium on a 2025 Bond is amortized each year over the term to maturity of the 2025 Bond on the basis of a constant interest rate compounded on each interest or principal payment date (with straight-line interpolations between compounding dates). Amortized 2025 Bond premium is not deductible for federal income tax purposes. Owners of premium 2025 Bonds, including purchasers who do not purchase in the original offering, should consult their own tax advisors with respect to State of California personal income tax and federal income tax consequences of owning such 2025 Bonds.
California Tax Status. In the further opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on the 2025 Bonds is exempt from California personal income taxes.
Other Tax Considerations. Current and future legislative proposals, if enacted into law, clarification of the Tax Code or court decisions may cause interest on the 2025 Bonds to be subject, directly or indirectly, to federal income taxation or to be subject to or exempted from st ate income taxation, or otherwise prevent beneficial owners from realizing the full current benefit of the tax status of such interest. The introduction or enactment of any such legislative proposals, clarification of the Tax Code or court decisions may also affect the market price for, or marketability of, the 2025 Bonds. 413
46 It cannot be predicted whether or in what form any such proposal might be enacted or whether, if enacted, such legislation would apply to bonds issued prior to enactment.
The opinions expressed by Bond Counsel are based upon existing legislation and regulations as interpreted by relevant judicial and regulatory authorities as of the date of such opinion, and Bond Counsel has expressed no opinion with respect to any proposed legislation or as to the tax treatment of interest on the 2025 Bonds, or as to the consequences of owning or receiving interest on the 2025 Bonds, as of any future date. Prospective purchasers of the 2025 Bonds should consult their own tax advisors regarding any pe nding or proposed federal or state tax legislation, regulations or litigation, as to which Bond Counsel expresses no opinion.
Owners of the 2025 Bonds should also be aware that the ownership or disposition of, or the accrual or receipt of interest on, the 2025 Bonds may have federal or state tax consequences other than as described above. Other than as expressly described above, Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding other federal or state tax consequences arising with respect to the 2025 Bonds, the ownership, sale or disposition of the 2025 Bonds, or the amount, accrual or receipt of interest on the 2025 Bonds.
RATING[S]
S&P Global Ratings, a business unit of Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”), assigned the 2025 Bonds the municipal bond rating of “ ____” with the understanding that upon delivery of the 2025 Bonds, a policy insuring the payment of principal and interest on the 2025 Bonds will be issued by the Bond Insurer . S&P has assigned the underlying rating of “___” to the 2025 Bonds. Such rating reflects only the views of S&P and any desired explanation of the significance of such rating should be obtained from S&P. Generally, a rating agency bases its rating on the information and materials furnished to it and on investigations, studies and assumptions of its own.
There is no assurance such rating will continue for any given period of time or that such rating will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by S&P, if in the judgment of S&P, circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision or withdrawal of such rating may have an adverse effect on the market price for the 2025 Bonds.

The City will covenant for the benefit of owners of the 2025 Bonds to provide certain financial information and operating data relating to the District by not later than nine months after the end of the City’s fiscal year (presently June 30) commencing not later than April 1, 2026 with the report for the 2024-25 fiscal year (the “Annual Report”), and to provide notices of the occurrence of certain listed events.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION – CITY OF ROCKLIN AND COUNTY OF PLACER
The following information concerning the City of Rocklin (the “City”) and the County of Placer (the “ County”), is included only for the purpose of supplying general information. The 2025 Bonds are not a debt of the City, the County, the State of California (the “State”) or any of its political subdivisions, and neither the City, the County, the State nor any of its political subdivisions is liable therefor , except to the extent of the Special Tax Revenues and other amounts pledged by the City to the 2025 Bonds as described in this Official Statement.
General
The City. The City was Incorporated in 1893 as a general law city, the City is located in the County on Interstate 80, 20 miles northeast of Sacramento, 105 miles northeast of San Francisco, 90 miles southwest of Lake Tahoe and 120 miles southwest of Reno. Rocklin’s climate closely tracks that of the Sacramento Metropolitan region. It is characterized by comfortable fall and spring temperatures in the 70 ’s and warm summers. Annual rainfall is 21 inches per year.
The estimated population of Rocklin as of January 1, 2024 was approximately 71,609.
The County. The County, which covers an estimated area of 1,500 square miles, is bordered by the State of Nevada on the east, Nevada County on the north, Yuba and Sutter Counties on the west and by Sacramento and El Dorado Counties on the south. Placer County is included (along with Sacramento County and El Dorado County in the three-county Sacramento Metropolitan Statistical Area. There are six incorporated cities in Placer County, of which four (Auburn, Lincoln, Rocklin and Roseville) have populations of 10,000 or more, with Auburn being the county seat.
The California Legislature approved the formation of Placer County in 1851 from portions of what were then Sutter and Yuba Counties. It is a charter county divided into five districts on the basis of registered voters and population. Placer County is governed by a five-member, non- partisan Board of Supervisors who serves alternate four-year terms. The Supervisors elect one of the members as chairman annually and make program and po licy decisions for the c ounty.
Placer County’s a dministration includes appointed and elected officials, boards, commissions, and committees that assist the Board of Supervisors in making decisions.
A wide range of services is provided by Placer County to its residents, including deputy sheriff and fire protection, medical and health services, education, library services, judicial institutions, a variety of public assistance programs and other programs. Additional services are provided to residents in specific areas by special districts and service or improvement areas.
Some municipal services are provided to incorporated cities within the county’s boundaries on a contract basis. This permits cities to contract fo r services without incurring the cost of creating numerous city departments and facilities.
Topography and Climate
The County offers a great var iety of elevations and terrain. From a minimum of 40 feet above sea level in the southwestern corner of the County near the City of Roseville, the land rises to an elevation of 9,000 feet at the summit of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, near the County’s northeastern boundary. The western portion of the County, an area of rolling foothills, provides the site for several large industrial areas and a major railroad marshaling and switching yard. To 418
B-2
the northeast, the terrain becomes more mountainous, advancing from orchard lan d to high elevation timberland. The eastern side of the County, particularly the area surround ing Lake Tahoe, provides a setting for high-altitude winter sports and summer recreational activities. Over much of its length, the County is bounded by the American and Bear Rivers.
The climate in the lower elevations is generally characterized by warm summers and mild winters. The higher elevations experience the extremes of winter typical of such climes. In the more populated areas, monthly averages of daily extreme temperatures range from 39 degrees Fahrenheit minimum to 52 degrees Fahrenheit maximum in January, and 58 degrees Fahrenheit and 90 degrees Fahrenheit in July. The average annual rainfall is 36 inches, with an average annual snowfall of 216 inches in the Lake Tahoe area. Approximately 90% of average annual rainfall occurs in the six-month period extending from November to April.

Effective Buying Income
Effective buying income (“EBI”) is designated as personal income less personal tax and non-tax payments. Personal income is the aggregate of wages and salaries, other labor income (such as employer contributions to private pension funds), proprietor's income, rental income (which includes imputed rental income of Owner-occupants of non-farm dwellings), dividends paid by corporations, personal interest income from all sources, and transfer payments (such as pensions and welfare assistance). Deducted from this total are personal taxes (federal, state and local), non-tax payments (such as fines, fees, penalties), and per sonal contributions for social insurance. Effective buying income is a bulk measure of market potential. It indicates the general ability to buy and is essential in comparing, selecting and grouping markets on that basis. The following table demonstrates the growth in annual estimated E BI for the County, the State and the United States.
The following table summarizes the total effective buying income for the County, the State and the United States for the period 2021 through 2025.

FORM OF OPINION OF BOND COUNSEL
___________, 2025
City Council
City of Rocklin
3970 Rocklin Road
Rocklin, California 95677
OPINION: $___________ City of Rocklin Community Facilities District No. 10 (Whitney Ranch) Special Tax Bonds Series 2025
Members of the City Council:
We have acted as bond counsel to the City of Rocklin (the “City”) in connection with the issuance by the City of its City of Rocklin Community Facilities District No. 10 (Whitney Ranch) Special Tax Bonds Series 2025 (the “Bonds”). In such capacity, we have examined such law and such certified proceedings, certifications and other documents as we have deemed necessary to render this opinion.
The Bonds are issued pursuant to the Mello -Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, as amended, being sections 53311 et seq. of the California Government Code (the “Act”) , and that certain Fiscal Agent Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2015, by and between the City and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as successor fiscal agent (the “Fiscal Agent”), as supplemented and amended by Supplemental Agreement No. 1 to the Fiscal Agent Agreement dated as of May 1, 2019 , Supplemental Agreement No. 2 to the Fiscal Agent Agreement dated as of June 1, 2022, and Supplemental Agreement No. 3 to the Fiscal Agent Agreement dated as of October 1, 2025 (collectively, the “Fiscal Agent Agreement”) . Under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the City has pledged certain revenues (“Special Tax Revenues”) for the payment of principal, premium (if any) and interest on the Bonds when due.
Regarding questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied on representations of the City contained in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, and in the certified proceedings and other certifications of public officials furnished to us, without undertaking to verify the same by independent investigation.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion, under existing law, as follows:
1. The City is duly created and validly existing as a public body, corporate and politic, with the power to adopt the resolution authorizing the issuance of the Bonds, enter into the Fiscal Agent Agreement, and perform the agreements on its part contained therein and issue the Bonds.
2. The Bonds have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the City and are valid and binding limited obligations of the City, payable solely from the sources provided therefor in the Fiscal Agent Agreement.
429
C-2
3. The Fiscal Agent Agreement has been duly entered into by the City and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the City, enforceable against the City.
4. The Fiscal Agent Agreement creates a valid lien on the Special Tax Revenues and other funds pledged by the Fiscal Agent Agreement for the security of the Bonds, on a parity with other bonds issued or to be issued in accordance with the Fiscal Agent Agreement.
5. The interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for f ederal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax.
The opinions set forth in the preceding sentence are subject to the condition that the City comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, relating to the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on obligations such as the Bonds.
The City has made certain representations and covenants in order to comply with each such requirement. Inaccuracy of those representations, or failure to comply with certain of those covenants, may cause the inclusion of such interest in gross income for federal income tax purposes, which may be retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds.
6. The interest on the Bonds is exempt from personal income taxation imposed by the State of California.
Interest on the Bonds may be subject to the corporate alternative minimum tax. We express no opinion regarding any other tax consequences arising with respect to the ownership, sale or disposition of, or the amount, accrual or receipt of interest on, the Bonds.
The rights of the owners of the Bonds and the enforceability of the Bonds and the Indenture may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights heretofore or hereafter enacted and may also be subject to the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with principles of equity or otherwise in appropriate cases.
This opinion is given as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention, or any changes in law that may hereafter occur. Moreover, our opinions are not a guarantee of a particular result, and are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or any court; rather, our opinions represent our legal judgment based upon our review of existing law that we deem relevant to such opinions and in reliance upon the representations, opinions, and covenants referenced above.
Our engagement with respect to this matter has terminated as of the date hereof.
Respectfully submitted,

The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each 2025 Bond (“Beneficial Owner ”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the 2025 Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the 2025 Bonds, except in the event that use of the book -entry system for the 2025 Bonds is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all 2025 Bonds deposited by Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co. The deposit of 2025 Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the 2025 Bonds; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such securities are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participant s to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.
440
F-2
Redemption notices shall be sent to Cede & Co. If less than all of the 2025 Bonds within an issue are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will consent or vote with respect to the 2025 Bonds. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to an issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the 2025 Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
Principal, mandatory redemption and interest payments on the 2025 Bonds will be made to DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts on payment dates in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on the date payable. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Fiscal Agent or the City, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest to DTC is the responsibility of the City or the Fiscal Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants shall be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of s uch payments to the Beneficial Owners shall be responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
The City cannot and does not give any assurances that DTC, DTC Participants or others will distribute payments of principal, interest or premium with respec t to the 2025 Bonds paid to DTC or its nominee as the registered owner, or will distribute any redemption notices or other notices, to the Beneficial Owners, or that they will do so on a timely basis or will serve and act in the manner described in this Official Statement. The City is not responsible or liable for the failure of DTC or any DTC Participant to make any payment or give any notice to a Beneficial Owner with respect to the 2025 Bonds or an error or delay relating thereto.
The foregoing description of the procedures and record-keeping with respect to beneficial ownership interests in the 2025 Bonds, payment of principal, interest and other payments on the 2025 Bonds to DTC Participants or Beneficial Owners, confirmation and transfer of beneficial ownership interests in such 2025 Bonds and other related transactions by and between DTC, the DTC Participants and the Beneficial Owners is based solely on information provided by DTC.
Accordingly, no representations can be made con cerning these matters and neither the DTC Participants nor the Beneficial Owners should rely on the foregoing information with respect to such matters, but should instead confirm the same with DTC or the DTC Participants, as the case may be.
Discontinuance of Book-Entry System
DTC may discontinue providing its services with respect to the 2025 Bonds at any time by giving notice to the Fiscal Agent and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law or the City may terminate part icipation in the system of book -entry transfers through DTC or any other securities depository at any time. In the event that the book -entry system is discontinued, the City will execute, and the Fiscal Agent will authenticate and make available for delivery, replacement 2025 Bonds in the form of registered bonds. In addition, the principal of and redemption premium, if any, on the 2025 Bonds will be payable as set forth in the Fiscal Agent Agreement and summarized above under the caption “ THE 2025 BONDS – Description of the 2025 Bonds.” 2025 Bonds will be transferable and exchangeable on the terms and conditions provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement.
