Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The Aggie Square Project (Project) is a multi-phase development project envisioned to advance the City’s efforts to make the City of Sacramento a leading location for the health and food sciences and an innovation hub. The proposed Project is a mixed-use innovation and research center located on the UC Davis Sacramento Campus (home of the UC Davis Medical Center) along the Stockton Boulevard corridor. Phase 1 of the Project is being developed under a public/private partnership collaboration between Wexford and UC Davis and is intended to be the catalyst for future development of the surrounding area. In this phase, both UC Davis and private entities intend to put the innovation and research center to multiple uses, including science, technology and data research uses; continuing and professional education; co-working and convening spaces; and mixed-use residential, food education, catering, and community-serving retail.
On September 21, 2021, Council authorized the City to enter into a Master Funding Agreement (Funding Agreement) to evidence the City’s, Wexford’s, and UC Davis’s obligations related to the public-financing assistance for Phase 1. As outlined in the Funding Agreement, UC Davis owns the Aggie Square property and will lease the land to Wexford (or an affiliated entity) for development of the Project. Wexford will lease space in the new facilities to both UC Davis and private interests. The Funding Agreement also set out a framework for the financing of public facilities by utilizing both the Aggie Square Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (Aggie Square EIFD), which will leverage tax-increment generated by the Project, and the Aggie Square CFD, which will utilize special taxes levied on leasehold interests in the Project.
On October 26, 2021, Council adopted a Resolution of Formation that established the Aggie Square CFD and created a future annexation area where parcels may annex to the Aggie Square CFD at a future date with the unanimous approval of the owner or owners of each such parcel at the time of annexation (Reso. No. 2021-0325). The formation of the Aggie Square CFD allows for tax-exempt bond financing to reimburse Wexford for the cost of public infrastructure to be acquired by the City and/or UC Davis. New public capital improvements necessary for the development of Phase 1 include roadway, storm water, water, and sewer improvements within and surrounding the Project.
In connection with the acquisition of facilities to be acquired by the City, the City and Wexford propose to enter into an Acquisition and Shortfall Agreement (A&S Agreement) that prescribes how Wexford is to construct the facilities, how the City is to acquire the facilities, and how bond proceeds generated by the Aggie Square CFD will be used to reimburse Wexford.
In connection with the acquisition of facilities to be acquired by UC Davis, the City, Wexford, and UC Davis propose to enter into an Acquisition Agreement (UC Davis Acquisition

Agreement) that prescribes how Wexford is to construct the facilities, how UC Davis is to acquire the facilities, and how bond proceeds generated by the Aggie Square CFD will be used to reimburse Wexford.
Both agreements are being entered into pursuant to the provisions set forth in the California Government Code section 53313.51, part of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (Act).
Policy Considerations: Both the A&S Agreement and the UC Davis Acquisition Agreement (collectively, the Agreements) are necessary to reimburse Wexford for construction of facilities.
They do not bind the City to make any expenditure, to incur any indebtedness, or to proceed with the Project.
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations:
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): In November 2020, UC Davis prepared the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) for the UC Davis Sacramento Campus 2020 Long Range Development Plan Update (SCH No. 2020020161). This SEIR consists of three volumes, the second being the “Aggie Square Phase I Project EIR.” The UC Davis Sacramento Campus 2020 Long Range Development Plan Update can be viewed on the UC Davis Office of Environmental Planning’s website at:
https://environmentalplanning.ucdavis.edu/2020-lrdp-update- final-supplemental-eir. Additionally, the City prepared an Addendum to the SEIR which is available for review. Lastly, on April 6, 2021, the City adopted a Resolution No. 2021- 0078 certifying that the City has considered the SEIR, determining that the Project has no feasible alternatives or mitigation measures within the City’s jurisdiction that would substantially lessen or avoid any of the significant effects identified in the SEIR, adopting a statement of overriding considerations, and approving the addendum to the SEIR.
Council’s action in approving these agreements is solely for the purpose of providing funding and reimbursement mechanisms and does not affect the environmental review the was previously prepared for the Project. No additional CEQA review is required.
Sustainability: Not applicable.
Commission/Committee Action: None.

City of Sacramento
Rationale for Recommendation: Approval of the Agreements will support new development within the City, and the recommended actions are required by the Act to allow reimbursement to Wexford of the cost of public facilities to be acquired by the City or UC Davis, as applicable.
Financial Considerations: Wexford will fund all costs of improvements for the Project and be reimbursed at a later time if and when sufficient bond proceeds from the Aggie Square CFD and/or tax-increment revenues from the Aggie Square EIFD are available. Reimbursements using CFD special tax bonds will be limited to the construction or financing of authorized public improvements that comply with the City’s adopted Policies and Procedures for Use of Special Assessment and Mello-Roos Community Facilities District Financing for Infrastructure and Public Facilities or any subsequent update to such policy, as well as the Agreements. The special taxes will be used as security for the repayment of tax-exempt CFD bonds that may be are issued and to pay for administrative expenses related to the management of the CFD.
There are no impacts on other funds of the City.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable.
ATTACHMENT 2
BACKGROUND
The Aggie Square CFD was established by the City Council on October 26, 2021, under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982. The CFD currently covers approximately 5.06 acres of property within the Aggie Square Project (Project). An additional 2.60 acres of property are located in a “Future Annexation Area” that may annex to the CFD at a future date.
Purpose of the Aggie Square CFD; List of Facilities
The Aggie Square CFD will finance, through the issuance of tax-exempt bonds or other debt, certain public improvements serving the Project. A full list of improvements authorized to be financed through the CFD is provided in Exhibit B to the Resolution of Formation for the CFD, and a related list of incidental expenses authorized to be financed through the CFD is provided in Exhibit C thereto (Resolution No. 2021-0325).
The maximum principal amount of debt proposed to be incurred for the purposes of the CFD is $45 million. The Aggie Square CFD was established in connection with the Aggie Square EIFD that was also formed in 2021, with the goal of more quickly financing certain authorized facilities than would otherwise occur with the Aggie Square EIFD alone.

ACQUISITION-AND-SHORTFALL AGREEMENT
Aggie Square Community Facilities District No. 2021-01 (Improvements) This Acquisition-and-Shortfall Agreement, dated __________, 2022, for reference, is between the CITY OF SACRAMENTO, a California municipal corporation and charter city (the “ City”) and WEXFORD DEVELOPMENT, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and its permitted assignees under this agreement (the “Developer”).
Background
A. The Developer requested that the City form a community facilities district under the Mello -Roos Community Facilities District Act of 1982, sections 53311 through 53368.3 of the California Government Code (the “Act”), to finance, in part, the acquisition and construction of the public improvements described in Exhibit A, which will be owned by the City (collectively the “Improvements,” and each an “Improvement”), none of which will be within the boundaries of the project site (the “Aggie Square Site”) identified in Exhibit A. The district is named Aggie Square Community Facilities District No. 2021-01 (Improvements) and includes any areas annexed to the district in the future (the “ District ”). The District will also fund facilities that will be owned by THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, acting through its Davis campus (“ UC Davis”) whose acquisition and construction will be governed by an agreement specifically applicable to UC Davis facilities and possibly one or more other agreements.
B. Section 53313.5 of the Act provides that the District may finance the acquisition of facilities benefitting the District only if the facilities have been constructed as if under the direction and supervision of, or the authority of, the local agency that will own or operate the facilities. The purposes of this agreement are (1) to provide for the formation of the District; (2) to provide for the design, construction, and acquisition of the Improvements from the proceeds of special-tax bonds issued by the City by means of the District (the “ Bonds”) or directly from special-tax revenues of the District; and (3) to specify the terms and conditions, including prices and timing, for any reimbursement or other payment to the Developer for the Improvements, and for payment of incidental expenses (e.g., the cost of issuing the Bonds and the expenses of administering the District), whether from the proceeds of the Bonds or special-tax revenues.
C. The parties contemplate that certain of the Improvements will be constructed under construction and design contracts to be awarded by the Developer. The parties further contemplate that the completed Improvements will be conveyed to, and accepted by, the City upon full satisfaction of this agreement. The Developer acknowledges that there may be insufficient funds from the sale of the Bonds to reimburse the Developer for the full cost of the Improvements and that the Developer must pay any funding shortfall in full and without reimbursement from the City. Nothing in this agreement limits or excludes the ability of the Developer to receive reimbursement or compensation for the full cost of
Acquisition & Shortfall Agreement | Page 2
the Improvements from any other source of funds.
D. The parties contemplate that the Improvements to be constructed by the Developer may be constructed in phases and that the City may sell the Bonds in successive series to finance the acquisition of the completed phases from the Developer.
With these background facts in mind, the parties agree as follows:
1. Formation of District. To the extent the City has not already done so, the City shall commence and complete proceedings under the Act for the formation of the District, and the Developer shall cooperate with the City in those proceedings, which may include elections under sections 53326 and 53353.5 of the Act on the following matters:
(a) the issuance and sale of the Bonds;
(b) As more particularly set forth in the Master Funding Agreement approved by the City Council on September 21, 2021 and as it may be amended from time to time (the “MFA”), the annual levy of special taxes on all taxable lease-hold property held by the Developer or the Developer’s successor-in-interest within the District to raise revenues needed to pay principal and interest on the Bonds, to pay the formation costs (including City expenses and consultant expenses), to pay the annual administrative expenses that the City and the District incur in levying and collecting the special taxes and in paying the principal and interest on the Bonds (including the fees of fiscal agents and paying agents), and to replenish the reserve fund for the Bonds, to accumulate funds for future Bond payments; and (c) the establishment of an appropriations limit for the District.
2. Sale of Bonds. Upon completion of the proceedings specified in section 1, the City intends to initiate the issuance and sale of the Bonds, subject to the following: (a) the Bonds will not be sold until this agreement is signed by all parties; and (b) subject to the terms of the MFA, the City will determine, in its sole discretion, the timing of the issuance and sale of the Bonds, their aggregate principal amount, and the terms and conditions upon which they will be sold, in accordance with the proceedings specified in section 1.
3. Improvement Fund. As provided in the indenture or supplemental indenture under which the Bonds are issued and sold (the “Indenture”), the City shall deposit, hold, invest, and disburse the proceeds of the Bonds and shall set aside a portion of the proceeds in a separate fund for constructing and acquiring the Improvements (the “Improvement Fund ”). The City may withdraw monies from the Improvement Fund in accordance with the Indenture to pay for all or a portion of the costs of design, construction, and acquisition and to pay other costs, as provided in this agreement or in the Indenture.
Acquisition & Shortfall Agreement | Page 3
4. Direct Funding. The City shall levy a special tax in accordance with the proceedings specified in section 1. All special tax revenues will be used consistent with Section 2(a) of the Master Funding Agreement.
5. Acquisition.
(a) Completion. The City will not acquire ownership of an Improvement or portion of an Improvement unless, as required by the Guidelines for Special District Acquisition Projects attached as Exhibit B to this agreement (the “Guidelines”), the City Manager determines in writing, as part of the verification process and record, that the Improvement or portion of an Improvement has been completed in accordance with section 6 of this agreement and is a functional, usable unit of infrastructure capable of being incorporated into the City’s infrastructure system. (b) Acquisition Price. When an Improvement or portion of an Improvement to be acquired by the City is completed, and when the Developer has given the City all documents, including lien releases, the City requires for the Improvement or portion of an Improvement, the City shall determine the acquisition price in accordance with the Guidelines. The acquisition price for each Improvement or portion of an Improvement will consist of the following: (1) the Developer’s actually paid construction cost as determined by the amounts set forth in contracts, invoices, cancelled checks, and purchase orders entered into by the Developer with its contractors and suppliers in accordance with the Guidelines; plus, (2) to compensate for engineering costs, an amount equal to 15% of the amount determined under clause (1). “Engineering costs” means engineering costs, design costs, surveying costs, construction-management costs, plan-check fees, and inspection fees. The City shall promptly notify the Developer in writing of the acquisition price once the City has determined it.
(c) Payment by City. Within 30 days after the City notifies the Developer of the acquisition price, the City shall pay the Developer, from the Improvement Fund, the amount of the acquisition price minus a retention equal to 150% of the value of punch-list work not yet completed. The City shall hold the retention amount on each acquired Improvement or portion of an Improvement until the punch-list work for the Improvement or portion of an Improvement is completed and the City has accepted the work.
(d) Payment from Improvement Fund. The City’s obligation to pay for the acquisition of the Improvements is limited to monies in the Improvement Fund after deducting other cash reimbursements. If the monies in the Improvement Fund that are available for the acquisition of the Improvements and the payment of incidental expenses are less than the total cost of the Improvements and expenses, then the Developer shall pay the shortfall. The Developer may carry forward any shortfall in
Acquisition & Shortfall Agreement | Page 4
anticipation of being reimbursed by the City from monies in the Improvement Fund that subsequently become available, and, subject to any applicable legal or other constraints or restrictions, the City shall pay the Developer the shortfall as and when monies become available in the Improvement Fund. Nothing in this agreement limits or excludes the ability of the Developer to receive reimbursement or compensation for the full cost of the Improvements from any other source of funds.
6. Construction Standards. The Developer shall design, bid, and construct the Improvements in accordance with those portions of the Guidelines that the City Manager determines in the City Manager’s sole discretion to be applicable to the particular Improvements. Among other things, the Guidelines specify the procedures for inspection of, approval of, application for, and manner of payment for Improvements. Compliance with the Guidelines will satisfy the following provisions of the Act:
(a) Under section 53313.5 of the Act, the District’s special-tax revenues and proceeds from the Bonds may be used to finance the purchase of Improvements that are completed after adoption of the resolution of formation only if the Improvements are constructed as if they had been constructed under the direction and supervision of, or the authority of, the public agency that will own or operate the Improvements. (b) Under section 53314.9(a)(3) of the Act, the District’s special-tax revenues and proceeds from the Bonds may be used to reimburse the Developer for advances of work in-kind, whether made before or after formation of the District, only if the work has been performed or constructed as if the work had been performed or constructed under the direction and supervision of, or the authority of, the local agency that accepts the work.
7. Ownership and Transfer of the Improvements. The Developer shall convey ownership of the Improvements to the City in accordance with the following policies and procedures:
(a) Real Property Interests. As used in this agreement, “Land” means fee-simple title or such lesser real-property interest as the City determines to be necessary or convenient to be transferred to it in conjunction with the Improvement or portion of an Improvement to be acquired. It is the Developer’s intention that all of the Improvements will be constructed on parcels owned by the City or in the City’s right of way. However, to the extent necessary if an Improvement will be owned and maintained by the City but is partially constructed on a parcel or parcels owned by UC Davis, Wexford shall cause UC Davis to sign and deliver to the City (or shall cause to be signed and delivered) the documents required to complete the transfer of all Land, together with a policy of title insurance, provided at Wexford’s expense, insuring that each of the interests to be transferred is free and clear of all liens, taxes, assessments, easements, leases, or other encumbrances (recorded or not) except for any encumbrances that the City determines, in its reasonable discretion, will not interfere with or have priority over the intended use of the Land or the
Acquisition & Shortfall Agreement | Page 5
Improvements (the “Title Insurance Policy”). The conveyances to the City as described above and the issuance of the Title Insurance Policy shall be completed through escrow and must be evidenced by a recordation indicating the City’s acceptance of title. Improvements. If a transfer is needed as described in section 7(a), Wexford shall transfer or shall cause UC Davis to transfer the Improvements and Land to the City by grant deed or such equivalent documents as the City determines in its reasonable discretion to be required for that purpose. (b) Maintenance Pending Transfer. Pending completion and transfer of the Improvements to the City as described in Section 7(a) above, Developer or its successors in interest shall pay the entire cost of maintaining the Land and the Improvements in accordance with the Guidelines.
(c) Entry upon City Property. The Developer must obtain from the City a written agreement through the Departments of Utilities or Public Works or other department authorizing any entry onto City property or City right of way and specifying the City’s and the Developer’s rights and liabilities related to such entry.
8. Warranties. The Guidelines specify the Developer’s warranty and related obligations.
9. Payment for Incidental and Other Expenses Relating to the Improvements. (a) Incidental and Other Expenses. If the Developer incurs incidental expenses that pertain to the Improvements but are not reimbursed by the 15% allowance for engineering costs in section 5(c) (examples of incidental expenses are the costs of environmental studies and environmental remediation), then the City may use available monies in the Improvement Fund to reimburse the Developer for those expenses so long as (1) the reimbursement is in accordance with the Indenture and any applicable legal or other restrictions and (2) the Developer submits supporting documentation that the City Manager determines to be satisfactory. (b) Advance of Funds. If the Developer advances funds to the City to pay for the City’s incidental expenses, such as the costs of conducting the District formation proceedings and the costs of issuing and selling the Bonds, then the City may use available monies in the Improvement Fund to reimburse the Developer for the advanced funding if (1) the reimbursement is in accordance with the Indenture and any applicable legal or other restrictions and (2) the Developer submits supporting documentation that the City Treasurer determines to be satisfactory. (c) City Expenses. To the extent that there are unfunded or unreimbursed City expenses for review, inspection, and project management pertaining to the Improvements, the City may reimburse itself for those expenses from proceeds of the Bonds or from special-tax revenues.
Acquisition & Shortfall Agreement | Page 6
10. Limitation of Liability; Excess Costs. All City obligations arising out of, or related to, this agreement are special and limited obligations of the City, and the City’s obligations to make any payments under this agreement are to be paid exclusively from the monies, if any, in the Improvement Fund. This agreement does not constitute a general debt or general liability of the City. The Developer’s reimbursement under this agreement will be solely from proceeds of the Bonds. The Developer is not entitled by this agreement or otherwise to reimbursement for sums advanced or expenditures made by the Developer under this agreement, whether for the Improvements, or the maintenance of the Land and Improvements, from any of the following: the City’s general fund, any other City funds, the City’s taxing power, or the City’s other assets. Cost overruns on the Improvements or any portion of the Improvements will be the Developer’s sole responsibility, except that the Developer may apply cost savings from any portion of the Improvements to another portion. For purposes of this agreement, the Developer is solely and fully liable for, and shall pay, all costs of the Improvements and all incidental expenses that are in excess of the available monies in the Improvement Fund. The City’s elected officials, officers, employees, and agents (including contractors and consultants) are not liable in their individual capacities to the Developer or any other party by reason of their signing this agreement or acting or failing to act in connection with this agreement.
Nothing in this agreement limits or excludes the ability of the Developer to receive reimbursement or compensation for the full cost of the Improvements from any other source of funds.

control) on, under, about, or around the portion of the Land on which any of the Improvements or the easements that are required to be or are transferred to City are located; and
(B) occurs on or before the date the Land or the Improvements are conveyed to City under this agreement.
(b) Indemnification by the Developer. The Developer shall fully indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the City and the City’s elected officials, officers, employees, and agents from and against each Claim that arises from any death, bodily injury, personal injury, property damage, economic loss, or violation of law, subject to the following: the Developer will not be liable under this section 11(b) for a Claim alleging the City’s sole and active negligence while performing design review or approval or while inspecting construction in connection with the Improvements.
Nothing in this agreement constitutes the City’s waiver of any immunity or defense it may have relating to any Claim, including immunity or defenses relating to design review, design approval, or construction inspection.
(c) Indemnification Regarding Hazardous Substances. The Developer shall fully indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the City and the City’s elected officials, officers, employees, and agents from and against all Hazardous Substance Claims, subject to the following: the Developer’s obligation under this section 11(c) does not apply to the incorporation of building materials as part of the Improvements so long as the incorporation is performed in accordance with applicable laws and is not in violation of Environmental Laws (defined in Exhibit C) in effect at the time of the incorporation.
(d) Duration of Indemnification Obligations. With respect to the Improvements and to each portion of the Improvements that the Developer constructs, the Developer’s obligations under sections 11(b) and 11(c) will expire on a phase-by-phase basis, as follows:
(1) The Developer’s obligations under section 11(b) will expire for a phase on the date that is one year after the City’s written acceptance of the phase as complete, except that section 11(b) will remain in effect for any Claim made before that date and for any Claim that relates directly or indirectly to such a Claim.
(2) The Developer’s obligations under section 11(c) will survive the termination of this agreement with respect to a phase until the date that is two years after the City’s written acceptance of the phase as complete, except that section 11(c) will remain in effect with respect to any Claim made before that date and for Claims that relate directly or indirectly to such a Claim.
Acquisition & Shortfall Agreement | Page 8
(3) This section 11(d) applies only to sections 11(b) and 11(c) of this agreement and does not affect any liability the Developer might have under applicable law to the extent the Developer is a contaminator of the Land. (e) Additional Provisions Regarding Indemnification Obligations. (1) The City does not waive any rights it has against the Developer under this section 11 because of any insurance coverage provided under this agreement. (2) Except as expressly provided in section 11(b) for Claims based upon the City’s sole and active negligence, the Developer’s obligations under this section 11 will not be limited or waived in any way because the City prepared, supplied, or approved plans and specifications for the Improvements or inspected or failed to inspect construction of the Improvements.
(3) The Developer’s obligations under this section 11 are to be interpreted and applied broadly so as to provide the City with the maximum coverage that accords with the language used.
(4) Except as expressly provided, nothing in this section 11 is to be interpreted as limiting the scope of the parties’ indemnification and defense rights and obligations.
(5) The Developer shall cause all engineering and construction contracts relating to the Improvements to require that the engineer or contractor fully and without limitation indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the City and the City’s elected officials, officers, employees, and agents from and against any liability, claim, demand, damage, or cost (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether for outside counsel or the City Attorney) that arises directly or indirectly from any death, bodily injury, personal injury, property damage, economic loss, or violation of law, but only to the extent that (A) the liability, claim, demand, damage, or cost arises from actions or omissions of the engineer or contractor, or of any person or entity employed by, or acting as the authorized agent for, the engineer or contractor, in connection with the design, construction, maintenance, operation, or repair of the Improvements; and (B) the engineer, contractor, or other party is contractually responsible for a portion or aspect of the Improvements (for example, a contractor responsible for constructing a portion of the Improvements would not be held responsible for the design, nor would an engineer who designed a portion of the Improvements be held responsible for construction not in accordance with the design). If an engineering or construction contract contains the language contained in Exhibit D or other language the City has approved in writing, and if the City is satisfied in its sole discretion with the adequacy of the engineer’s or contractor’s insurance, then the Developer will have satisfied its obligation under this
Acquisition & Shortfall Agreement | Page 9
section 11(e)(5).
(f) Waiver by the Developer. The Developer and its successors and assigns hereby waive and release all claims of whatever nature that may arise against the City or the City’s elected officials, officers, employees, and agents in connection with the design or construction of the Improvements. This waiver and release includes all claims arising under section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as follows:
A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.
Thus, this agreement releases and extinguishes, without limitation, all claims that the parties do not know or suspect to exist as well as all claims that the parties do know or suspect to exist.
(g) Disclaimer by the City Regarding Hazardous Substances. The City has not conducted any review, examination, or assessment to assess, identify, or detect the presence of any Hazardous Substances (defined in Exhibit C) on, under, about, or around the Land (defined in section 7(a)). Between the City and the Developer, any liability associated with the presence of any Hazardous Substances on, under, about, or around the Land, including any interests in the Land dedicated to the City as provided in this agreement, will be governed by the indemnity provisions in this section 11 regardless of whether any such review, examination, or assessment was or is conducted. (h) Indemnification by City. The City shall fully indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the Developer and the Developer’s officers, employees, and agents from and against any liability, claim, demand, damage, or cost (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from any death, bodily injury, personal injury, property damage, economic loss, damage to the environment, or violation of law to the extent arising from either of the following:
(1) the use, storage, treatment, transportation, release, or disposal of Hazardous Substances (defined in Exhibit C) by any person or entity (except persons or entities acting on the Developer’s behalf or under the Developer’s control) on, under, about, or around the portion of the Land on which any of the Improvements or the easements that are required to be or are transferred to City are located, and occurring after the Land or any of the Improvements or easements are conveyed to the City under this agreement; or (2) any act (including those covered by section 11(h)(1)) by the City or the City’s elected officials, officers, employees, and agents in the use and operation of the Improvements.

(b) City Election for Cause.
(1) The City may terminate this agreement, without the Developer’s consent, if any of the following events occurs:
(A) The Developer voluntarily files for reorganization or other relief under any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law.
(B) The Developer has any involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency action filed against it, or suffers a bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings initiated by a trustee or a receiver to take possession of its assets, or suffers an attachment or levy of execution to be made against its leasehold interest or any building it owns within the District, and the action, possession, attachment, or levy is not terminated or released within 60 days after occurring.
(C) The Developer abandons the construction of the Improvements. (D) The Developer breaches any material covenant or defaults in the performance of any material obligation of this agreement. (E) The Developer transfers any of its obligations under this agreement unless as explicitly provided by this agreement.

Acquisition & Shortfall Agreement | Page 11
for conformity with the special-tax formula.
(G) The Developer materially fails to complete the Improvements. (2) The City shall give the Developer written notice when an event described in section 13(b)(1) occurs. As soon as is practicable after receiving the notice, the Developer shall meet and confer with the City Manager and with other appropriate City staff and consultants to discuss options available to ensure timely completion of the Improvements or cure any other defaults, including the option of the City terminating this agreement. If the City elects to terminate this agreement, then the City shall notify the Developer in writing (and any mortgagee or trust beneficiary the Developer has identified to the City, in writing, as entitled to receive the notice) of the grounds for termination, and the Developer will have 60 days after receiving the notice to eliminate or mitigate the grounds for termination to the City’s satisfaction. If the mitigation or elimination selected is such that, by its nature, it cannot be completed within 60 days, and if the Developer begins the mitigation or elimination within the 60- day period and diligently pursues completion of the Improvements or cures any other defaults, then the period for completion will be extended for as long as the City determines is reasonably necessary. If, at the end of the 60-day period and any extension, the Developer has not eliminated or completely mitigated the grounds for termination to the City’s satisfaction, then— (A) the City may terminate this agreement;
(B) the City may assume the Developer’s contracts for, and may award new contracts for, any remaining work related to Improvements not already acquired from the Developer and continue with that work until it has been completed to the City’s satisfaction;
(C) the City may use all or any portion of the monies in the Improvement Fund to pay for any remaining work related to Improvements not already acquired from the Developer; and
(D) the Developer will have no claim or right to any further payments for the Improvements.
(c) Liability for taxes after termination. After termination of this agreement, the Developer’s lease-hold property within the District will remain fully liable for payment of the special taxes required for debt service on the Bonds, administrative costs of the CFD, and for payment of the special taxes required to complete the Improvements that benefit the Developer’s lease-hold property.

Listed in this exhibit are guidelines that must be followed to qualify improvement project costs for reimbursement by the contemplated community facilities district (the “District”) unless waived by the City consistent with City Code and policy. Reimbursement is dependent upon the City’s actual receipt of special -tax proceeds or proceeds from special-tax bonds (the “Bonds”) if the Bonds are issued and upon the legality of reimbursement for individual expense items under applicable law.
1.0 Definitions
1.1 Acquisition Agreement. An agreement between the Developer and the City allowing the District to acquire certain public facilities from the Developer.
1.2 Acquisition Facility or Acquisition Facilities. Those public-facility improvements described in Acquisition Agreements or a Hearing Report, as applicable, filed in the District proceedings.
1.3 Acquisition Price. The amount the District is to pay for the Acquisition Facilities in accordance with the Acquisition Agreement.
1.4 Advertisement. A published public notice that solicits bids for a project in accordance with these guidelines and applicable law.
1.5 Bid Documents. Plans, Specifications, and proposal documents that are prepared by, or under the supervision of, the Design Engineer; conform with policies, rules, regulations, and laws applicable to the City; and are suitable for the solicitation and submittal of bids by contractors for construction of an Acquisition Facility.
