Phase II requires the acquisition of several property interests, including the acquisition of certain property interests consisting of the interests of Lamar Central Outdoor, Inc. ("Lamar") in and to the outdoor advertising structures/billboards identified as Sign Number 33321 and Sign Number 33322, leasehold interests in connection with Sign Number 33321 and Sign Number 33322, easement interests, if any, in connection with the use of the portions of the real property identified as Riverside County Tax Assessor's Parcel Numbers ("APNs") 910-060-002 and 910-060-004 on which Sign Number 33321 and Sign Number 33322 are located, and goodwill relating to said outdoor advertising structures/billboards located on portions of the real properties identified as APNs 910-060-002 and 910-060-004 that are impacted by Phase II (collectively "Subject Property Interests") for public use, namely for public street and highway purposes, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto, including, but not limited to, public street, highway, retention walls, drainage, and public utilities in connection with the City's proposed construction of Phase II.

Section 4. Sub-ect Property Interests. The City seeks to acquire certain real property interests of Lamar consisting of the interests of Lamar in and to the outdoor advertising structures/billboards identified as Sign Number 33321 and Sign Number 33322, depicted on the Exhibit "A" attached hereto and into orated by this reference leasehold interests in connection with Sign Number 33321 and Sign Number 33322, easement interests, if any, in connection with the use of the portions of APNs 910-060-002 and 910-060-004 on which Sign Number 33321 and Sign Number 33322 are located, and goodwill relating to said outdoor advertising structuresibillboards located on portions of the real properties identified as APNs 910-060-002 and 910-060-004.
Section 5. Environmental Review. The environmental effects of the French Valley Parkway/Interstate-15 Over -Crossing and Interchange Improvements Project (PW02-11 and PW07-04) ("Project") and the acquisition of the real property interests needed for the Project were studied and analyzed as an integral part of the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Project (MND) adopted by the City on February 23, 2010 pursuant to Resolution No. 10-14, A Resolution of the City of Temecula Adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the French Valley Parkway/Interstate-15 Over -Crossing and Interchange Improvements Project (PW02-11 and PW07-04) and Approving the Project. At that time, the City was the lead agency under the CEQA for the Project. Caltrans was the lead agency under NEPA for the Project. Together, the City and Caltrans completed an Initial Study [with Mitigated Negative Declaration]/Environmental Assessment with Finding of No Significant Impact (IS/EA), a joint CEQA/NEPA document for the Project. Caltrans signed and approved the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) on January 29, 2010.
In adopting Resolution No. 10-14 approving the MND and the Project, the City Council found that the Project would accomplish the following objectives: (1) reduce current and projected traffic congestion on the ramps and freeway mainline in the project area; (2) improve safety and operations between Winchester Road and the 1-15/I-215 junction; (3) provide alternative vehicular access to I-15 that will also provide operational improvements to the I-15/Winchester Road interchange; and (4) provide improvements to accommodate projected growth and to facilitate local circulation consistent with the General Plans of the Cities of Temecula and Murrieta. In adopting the MND, the City Council found that (1) the MND was prepared in compliance with CEQA; (2) there is no substantial evidence that the Project will have a significant effect on the environment that cannot be adequately and feasibly mitigated; and (3) the MND reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the City Council. The City duly filed the Notice of Determination in accordance with applicable law.
Pursuant to the Caltrans Cooperative Agreement, Caltrans is the lead agency under both NEPA and CEQA for Phase II. The environmental effects of Phase II and the acquisition of the real property interests needed for Phase II were studied and analyzed as an integral part of the MND for the Project and the Caltrans Re -Validation in connection with Caltrans' further I haroby Mortify, under the penalty of padtiry, that the above and foregoing is a true and correct copy of an

environmental analysis and review of the environmental documents for the Project. Caltrans completed the NEPA/CEQA Re -Validation on July 9, 2021 [DIST-CO-RTE: 08-RIV-15, 215; Project No. FTIP ID RIV031215 (RTP ID RIV 031215) (SCH 2O09041108)], which is on file with the City Public Works Department and is incorporated in this Agenda Report by this Reference ("Caltrans Re -Validation").
In the Caltrans Re -Validation, Caltrans explained that the scope of Phase II was modified to include the northbound (NB) collector/distributor connectors to I-15 and I-215, one new bridge, widening of two bridges, ten retaining walls and one sound wall, and some drainage improvements.
The change in the scope of Phase II resulted in a decrease in the number of full and partial acquisitions required for Phase II and an increase in the need for temporary construction easements. Caltrans found that the original environmental document needed to be updated and further documentation was prepared in connection with NEPA. Based on the changed conditions and supporting information, Caltrans found that, with respect to the CEQA analysis, only minor technical changes or additions to the previous documents were necessary and an addendum was prepared and included with the Re -Validation Form. The Re -Validation Form noted that the Phase II improvements were previously identified and were approved as part of Phase II of the Project described in the 2010 IS/EA. It also found that Phase II itself would not result in new types of impacts over those identified in the IS/EA for the overall Project. Caltrans determined that due to the smaller scope of Phase II and the refined project engineering information, the magnitude of various impacts is reduced but generally remains the same as those addressed in the IS/EA.
Caltrans also found that the acquisition of 34 parcels, including the displacement of two nonresidential uses, was anticipated with the overall Project. Of this, two full parcel acquisitions and twelve partial parcel acquisitions were initially anticipated for Phase II (as noted in the 2010 IS/EA). Based on the smaller project scope for Phase II, Caltrans found that Phase 11 would not result in any full parcel acquisitions, but would require eleven partial acquisitions, three permanent footing easements, and five temporary easements for construction of Phase II. Although there has been a reduction in the number of full and partial acquisitions required, Caltrans noted that Phase II requires the acquisition of property interests from APN 910-020-077 that were not included in the original IS/EA and from APN 910-281-001 based on the revisions to the appraisal map approved on June 3, 2021. Caltrans found that the reduction in proposed acquisitions would not result in new impacts and that no new additional mitigation measures are required. Caltrans noted that the proposed footing easements and use of City property would only affect undeveloped land and would not result in displacement of any persons or businesses. Phase II may, however, require the relocation of two outdoor advertising structures/billboards owned by Lamar and identified as Sign Number 33321 and Sign Number 33322 located on APNs 910-060-002 and 910-060-004 in the City of Murrieta, which are the subject of this Resolution of Necessity. In connection with the preparation of this Resolution of Necessity, City Staff reviewed the MND and FONSI for the Project and the Re -Validation prepared in connection with Phase II, and found that the environmental findings for the Project and Phase II are the appropriate findings with respect to the proposed acquisition of the Subject Property Interests in connection with Phase II.
Section 6. Phase 11, as planned and designed, is in the public interest and necessity and is of regional significance. Phase II, as planned and located, will construct a two-lane northbound collector/distributor (C/D) system along I-15 from the Winchester Road/I-15 Interchange northerly on -ramps to just north of the I-15/1-215 junction with connectors to I-15 and I-215.

ay:
received an unprecedented $50 million grant from the Federal Government through the Infrastructure for Rebuilding America grant program administered by the United States Department of Transportation. The grant was supported by local Members of Congress as well as the U.S. Department of Defense and Marine Corps. based on the need to maintain the free flow of traffic to Camp Pendleton and Navy facilities in San Diego County, thus making it a national security improvement. Phase II, as planned and designed, will alleviate congestion, and improve safety and traffic circulation by constructing the northbound collector/distributor road improvements. The City and Murrieta have recognized that the construction of the Project would benefit both communities, and that both communities have a mutual interest in the Project to improve traffic and promote safety for the general public. The improvements proposed for Phase II seek to improve traffic congestion on 1-15 at the 1-215 junction where weaving occurs as drivers choose between I-15 and I-215 at the same time as they merge from Winchester Road onto 1-15, and to improve circulation along these routes.
Section 7. Phase II is consistent with the Circulation Element of the General Plan, which recognizes that "[e]nsuring adequate regional circulation for residents and businesses will require coordination with regional and State transportation planning efforts." (Circulation Element, C-23). Phase II furthers Goal 2 of the Circulation Element, which seeks to create a "regional transportation system that accommodates the safe and efficient movement of people and goods to and from the community." Phase II helps to implement Policy 2.1 and Policy 2.3 of the Circulation Element because it includes the construction of interchange and regional arterial improvements outside the City's jurisdiction in cooperation with Caltrans, the City of Murrieta, and other entities, and also includes improvements to current freeway interchanges within the City to achieve performance standards.
Section 8. Phase II is planned and located in the manner that is most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury. Phase II is planned and designed to construct a two-lane northbound collector/distributor (C/D) system along 1-15 from the Winchester Road/1- 15 Interchange northerly on -ramps to just north of the I-15/I-215 junction with connectors to 1-15 and I-215. The construction of these improvements are of regional significance. Phase II is planned and located to minimize the impact on private parcels. The construction Phase II will not impact any buildings. It will not result in the displacement of any persons or businesses, except for the potential impacts to Lamar's interests in the two billboard/outdoor advertising structures located on APNs 910-060-002 and 910-060-004 in the City of Murrieta that are impacted by Phase II and are the subject of this Resolution of Necessity. Preliminary analysis indicates that it may not be feasible to relocate the two subject billboard/outdoor advertising structures impacted by Phase II.
Section 9. The public use for which the City seeks to acquire the Subject Property Interests, namely for public street and highway purposes, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto, including, but not limited to, public street, highway, retention walls, drainage, and utilities in connection with Phase II will not unreasonably interfere with or impair the continuance of the public use to which any easement holders may have appropriated the Subject Property Interests (Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.510). To the extent that Phase II will require the relocation of the interests/facilities of easement holders located in the area of the Subject Property Interests and impacted by Phase II, the City's use of the Subject Property Interests for Phase 11 is a more necessary public use within the meaning of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.650 than the I hereby certify, under the penalty of perjury, that the above and foregoing is a true and correct copy of an

Section 10. Pursuant to Government Code Section 7260 et seq., the City obtained a fair market value appraisal of the Subject Property Interests and set just compensation for the Subject Property Interests in accordance with the fair market value. On October 22, 2021, the City extended a written offer pursuant to Government Code Section 7267.2 to Lamar, the owner of the impacted outdoor advertising structures/billboards identified as Sign Number 33321 and Sign Number 33322, via certified mail and regular first-class mail. The City's offer included an informational pamphlet describing the eminent domain process and the record owner's rights under the Eminent Domain law. In accordance with Government Code Section 7267.2, the City's written offer contained a written statement of and summary of the basis for, the amount it established as just compensation. The City's offer package for the Subject Property Interests included compensation for improvements pertaining to the realty (the billboard structures) and impact to the Lamar's interests in the Subject Property Interests, including business goodwill.
Further, the offer letter offered to pay the reasonable costs of Lamar, up to $5,000, of an independent appraisal of the Subject Property Interests pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1263.025.
Section 11. The City provided written notice dated November 24, 2021 to the owner of record of the Subject Property Interests, Lamar, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235 of the City Council's intent to consider the adoption of a Resolution of Necessity for the acquisition of the Subject Property Interests by eminent domain. It also notified Lamar of the opportunity to appear before the City Council and raise questions about whether the public interest and necessity require Phase II; whether Phase II is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury; and whether the Subject Property Interests the City seeks to acquire are necessary for Phase I1.
Section 12. Based on the evidence presented at the hearing regarding the acquisition of the Subject Property Interests, consisting of the interests of Lamar in and to the outdoor advertising structures/billboards identified as Sign Number 33321 and Sign Number 33322, leasehold interests in connection with Sign Number 33321 and Sign Number 33322, easement interests, if any, in connection with the use of the portions of APNs 910-060-002 and 910-060-004 on which Sign Number 33321 and Sign Number 33322 are located, and goodwill relating to said outdoor advertising structures/billboards located on portions of the real properties identified as APNs 910- 060-002 and 910-060-004, including the Agenda Report, the documents referenced therein, and any oral or written testimony at the hearing, the City Council hereby finds and determines that:

The Phase II project requires the acquisition of privately -owned lands to accommodate the proposed public improvements.
Phase II requires the acquisition of several property interests, including the acquisition in fee of an approximate 52,090 square foot portion ("Subject Fee Property") of those certain vacant real properties located on the west side of Jackson Avenue in the City of Murrieta, California, and identified as Riverside County Tax Assessor's Parcel Numbers ("APNs") 910-020-077, 910-060- 002, 910-060-003, 910-060-009, 910-060-015 ("Larger Parcel") for public use, namely public street and highway purposes, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto, including, but not limited to, public street, highway, retaining walls, drainage, and public utilities in connection with the City's proposed construction of Phase II. Larchmont Park, LLC, a California limited liability company was the record fee owners of said real property. A billboard structure is located on the property line of the parcel identified as APN 910-060-002 and will be affected by the construction of Phase II. The owners of the APN 910-060-002 received rental income from the billboard's north advertising side based on a ground lease for said billboard.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 7260, et seq., the City obtained a fair market value appraisal of the approximate 52,090 square foot Subject Fee Property, the loss of ground lease rent for the affected billboard, and all interests of Larchmont Park, LLC in and to the subject billboard (collectively "Subject Property Interests") and on August 10, 2021 set just compensation for the Subject Property Interests at the fair market value as determined by the City's independent appraiser based on an October 7, 2020 date of value.

The parties negotiated in good faith the City's purchase of the Subject Property Interests, including severance damages to the remainder portions of the Larger Parcel.

The parties resumed their negotiations after the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-70, and reached an agreement regarding the price and terms of the City's purchase of the Subject Property Interests. On January 25, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-07 approving the Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions between the City and Larchmont Park, LLC for the acquisition of the Subject Property Interests. Escrow for the City's acquisition of the Subject Property Interests closed on March 23, 2022.

The environmental effects of Phase 11 and the acquisition of the real property interests needed for Phase II were studied and analyzed as an integral part of the MND for the Project and the Caltrans Re -Validation in connection with Caltrans' further environmental analysis and review of the environmental documents for the Project. Caltrans completed the NEPA/CEQA Re -Validation on July 9, 2021 [DIST-CO-RTE: 08-RIV-15, 215; 1 hereby certify, under the penalty of perjury, that the above and foregoing is a true and correct copy of an

Project No. FTIP ID RIV031215 (RTP ID RIV 031215) (SCH 2O09041108)], which is on file with the City Public Works Department and is incorporated in this Agenda Report by this Reference ("Caltrans Re -Validation").
In the Caltrans Re -Validation, Caltrans explained that the scope of Phase II was modified to include the northbound (NB) collector/distributor connectors to the I-15 and I-215, one new bridge, widening of two bridges, ten retaining walls and one sound wall, and some drainage improvements. The change in the scope of Phase II resulted in a decrease in the number of full and partial acquisitions required for Phase II and an increase in the need for temporary construction easements. Caltrans found that the original environmental document needed to be updated and further documentation was prepared in connection with NEPA. Based on the changed conditions and supporting information, Caltrans found that, with respect to the CEQA analysis, only minor technical changes or additions to the previous documents were necessary and an addendum was prepared and included with the Re -Validation Form. The Re -Validation Form noted that the Phase II improvements were previously identified and were approved as part of Phase lI of the Project described in the 2010 IS/EA. It also found that Phase II itself would not result in new types of impacts over those identified in the IS/EA for the overall Project. Caltrans determined that due to the smaller scope of Phase II and the refined project engineering information, the magnitude of various impacts is reduced but generally remains the same as those addressed in the IS/EA.
Caltrans also found that the acquisition of 34 parcels, including the displacement of two nonresidential uses, was anticipated with the overall Project. Of this, two full parcel acquisitions and twelve partial parcel acquisitions were initially anticipated for Phase II (as noted in the 2010 IS/EA). Based on the smaller project scope for Phase II, Caltrans found that Phase II would not result in any full parcel acquisitions, but would require eleven partial acquisitions, three permanent footing easements, and five temporary easements for construction of Phase II. Although there has been a reduction in the number of full and partial acquisitions required, Caltrans noted that Phase II requires the acquisition of property interests from APN 910-020-077 that were not included in the original IS/EA and from APN 910-281-001 based on the revisions to the appraisal map approved on June 3, 2021. Caltrans found that the reduction in proposed acquisitions would not result in new impacts and that no new additional mitigation measures are required. Caltrans noted that the proposed footing easements and use of City property would only affect undeveloped land and would not result in displacement of any persons or businesses. Phase II may, however, require the relocation of two outdoor advertising structures/billboards owned by Lamar Central Outdoor, Inc. ("Lamar") and identified as Sign Number 33321 and Sign Number 33322 located on APNs 910-060-002 and 910-060-004 in the City of Murrieta. Larchmont Park, LLC's interest in and to the structure/billboard located on APN 910-060-002 is the subject of this Resolution of Necessity.
In connection with the preparation of this Resolution of Necessity, City Staff reviewed the MND and FONSI for the Project and the Re -Validation prepared in connection with Phase II, and found that the environmental findings for the Project and Phase II are the appropriate findings with respect to the proposed acquisition of the Subject Property Interests in connection with Phase II.
Section 6. Phase II, as planned and designed, is in the public interest and necessity and is of regional significance. Phase II, as planned and located, will construct a two-lane northbound collector/distributor (C/D) system along I-15 from the Winchester Road/I-15 Interchange northerly on -ramps to just north of the I-15/I-215 junction with connectors to the 1-15 and I-215.

Infrastructure for Rebuilding America grant program administered by the United States Department of Transportation. The grant was supported by local Members of Congress as well as the U.S. Department of Defense and Marine Corps. based on the need to maintain the free flow of traffic to Camp Pendleton and Navy facilities in San Diego County, thus making it a national security improvement. Phase II, as planned and designed, will alleviate congestion, and improve safety and traffic circulation by constructing the northbound collector/distributor road improvements. The City and Murrieta have recognized that the construction of the Project would benefit both communities, and that both communities have a mutual interest in the Project to improve traffic and promote safety for the general public. The improvements proposed for Phase II seek to improve traffic congestion on the I-15 at the 1-215 junction where weaving occurs as drivers choose between the I-15 and I-215 at the same time as they merge from Winchester Road onto the I-15, and to improve circulation along these routes.
Section 7. Phase II is consistent with the Circulation Element of the General Plan, which recognizes that "[e]nsuring adequate regional circulation for residents and businesses will require coordination with regional and State transportation planning efforts." (Circulation Element, C-23). Phase II furthers Goal 2 of the Circulation Element, which seeks to create a "regional transportation system that accommodates the safe and efficient movement of people and goods to and from the community." Phase II helps to implement Policy 2.1 and Policy 2.3 of the Circulation Element because it includes the construction of interchange and regional arterial improvements outside the City's jurisdiction in cooperation with Caltrans, the City of Murrieta, and other entities, and also includes improvements to current freeway interchanges within the City to achieve performance standards.
Section 8. Phase II is planned and located in the manner that is most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury. Phase II is planned and designed to construct a two-lane northbound collector/distributor (C/D) system along I-15 from the Winchester Road/I- 15 Interchange northerly on -ramps to just north of the I-15/I-215 junction with connectors to the I-15 and I-215. The construction of these improvements are of regional significance. Phase II is planned and located to minimize the impact on private parcels. The construction of Phase II will not impact any buildings. It will not result in the displacement of any persons or businesses, except for the potential impacts to two billboard/outdoor advertising structures located on APNs 910-060- 002 and 910-060-004 in the City of Murrieta, including the interests of Larchmont Park, LLC in and to the billboard/outdoor advertising structure located on APN 910-060-002 impacted by Phase II.
Section 9. The public use for which the City seeks to acquire the Subject Property Interests, namely for public street and highway purposes, and all uses necessary or convenient thereto, including, but not limited to, public street, highway, retention walls, drainage, and utilities in connection with Phase II will not unreasonably interfere with or impair the continuance of the public use to which any easement holders may have appropriated the Subject Property Interests (Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.510). To the extent that Phase II will require the relocation of the interests/facilities of easement holders located in the area of the Subject Property Interests and impacted by Phase II, the City's use of the Subject Property Interests for Phase II is a more necessary public use within the meaning of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.650 than the uses to which said public utility easement holders have appropriated any easements located in the area of the Subject Property Interests. Accordingly, the City is authorized to acquire the Subject hereby certify, under the penalty of perjury, that the

On October 11, 2021, the City extended a written offer pursuant to Government Code Section 7267.2 to the owner of record, Larchmont Park, LLC, via hand delivery. The City's offer included an informational pamphlet describing the eminent domain process and the record owner's rights under the Eminent Domain law. In accordance with Government Code Section 7267.2, the City's written offer contained a written statement of and summary of the basis for, the amount it established as just compensation.
The City's offer package set forth the date of value used by the appraiser and explained the appraiser's opinion of the highest and best use of the larger parcel of which the Subject Property Interests are a part. The offer package also explained the applicable zoning of the larger parcel of which the Subject Property Interests are a part. The offer also summarized the principal transactions relied on by the appraiser to arrive at the appraiser's opinion of the fair market value.
In addition, the written offer explained the appraiser's valuation analysis, including an analysis of severance damages and of the impacts of the Phase II on the subject billboard. It also included the comparable market data relied on by the appraiser. Further, the offer letter offered to pay the reasonable costs of Larchmont Park, LLC, up to $5,000, of an independent appraisal of the Subject Property Interests pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1263.025.
Section 11. The City provided written notice dated November 24, 2021 to the owner of record of the Subject Property Interests, Larchmont Park, LLC, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.235 of the City Council's intent to consider the adoption of a Resolution of Necessity for the acquisition of the Subject Property Interests by eminent domain.

The notice informed the record owner of the opportunity to appear before the City Council and raise questions about whether the public interest and necessity require Phase II; whether Phase II is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury; and whether the Subject Property Interests the City seeks to acquire are necessary for Phase II.
Section 12. Based on the evidence presented at the hearing regarding the acquisition of the Subject Property Interests, consisting of an approximate 52,090 square foot area in fee and the interests of the record owner in and to the outdoor advertising structure/billboard and lease interests relating to said structure located on portions of APN 910-060-002 impacted by Phase II, including the Agenda Report, the documents referenced therein, and any oral or written testimony at the hearing, the City Council hereby finds and determines that:

TEMECULA COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT
AGENDA REPORT
TO: General Manager/Board of Directors
FROM: Erica Russo, Director of Community Services
DATE: April 26, 2022
SUBJECT: Approve Three -Year Agreement with Advantage Mailing, LLC for Printing Services of the Guide to Leisure Activities
PREPARED BY: Tracy Masters, Community Services Manager
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Directors approve a three-year agreement with Advantage Mailing, LLC for printing services of the Guide to Leisure Activities.
BACKGROUND: The Community Services Department has been proud to provide the residents of Temecula a bi-annual printed activity guide that provides information regarding the many opportunities available for leisure, cultural and educational activities offered by the Community Services Department. This brochure serves as the Department's primary marketing channel and as an effective tool in building a sense of community through people, parks and programs. The printed guide raises awareness of community offerings which has resulted in increased participation and revenue.

FROM: Aaron Adams, City Manager/Executive Director
DATE: April 26, 2022
SUBJECT: Approval Issuance of Special Tax Refunding Bonds for Temecula Public Financing Authority Community Facilities District No. 03-03 (Wolf Creek) PREPARED BY: Jennifer Hennessy, Director of Finance/Treasurer RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Directors adopt a resolution entitled:
RESOLUTION NO. TPFA 2022-
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE
TEMECULA PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY
AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF SPECIAL TAX
REFUNDING BONDS RELATED TO THE TEMECULA
PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY COMMUNITY
FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 03-03 (WOLF CREEK),
APPROVING AND DIRECTING THE EXECUTION OF A
FISCAL AGENT AGREEMENT AND APPROVING OTHER
RELATED DOCUMENTS AND ACTIONS
BACKGROUND: In 2003 the Temecula Public Financing Authority (the "Authority") Community Facilities District No. 03-03 (Wolf Creek) (the "CFD") was formed and subsequently bonds were issued in 2003 to finance various public facilities within the CFD.
Those bonds were payable from the proceeds of an annual special tax levied on the 1,806 homes that were built in the CFD. Those bonds were refunded in 2012. In light of current low interest rates in the financial markets, the opportunity has arisen for the Authority to issue bonds (the "2022 Refunding Bonds") for and on behalf of the CFD, to refund the outstanding 2012 Bonds (the "Outstanding Bonds") and thereby reduce future special tax levies on homeowners with homes located in the CFD.
Due to favorable interest rates in the financial markets, the Outstanding Bonds can now be refunded by means of the issuance of 2022 Refunding Bonds, with the debt service to be payable on the 2022 Refunding Bonds to be less than the debt service due on the Outstanding Bonds to be refunded. Specifically, it is expected that the refinancing transaction for the CFD 03-03 is projected to result in net present value savings of approximately $1,268,292, over the remaining term of the Outstanding Bonds. Actual savings is dependent upon market conditions at the time of sale of the 2022 Refunding Bonds, as well as the credit quality of the CFD and any rating from
a national rating agency or bond insurance commitment from a national bond insurer that may be obtained for the 2022 Refunding Bonds. On February 8, 2022, the Authority adopted a Resolution directing City Staff to move forward with the refunding of Outstanding Bonds and appointed the Consultants to assist City Staff in preparing the documents needed to refund the Outstanding Bonds.
The 2022 Refunding Bonds for the CFD are proposed to be issued pursuant to a Fiscal Agent Agreement setting forth the various terms and provisions for the 2022 Refunding Bonds. The proceeds of the 2022 Refunding Bonds are expected to be applied to the redemption of the Outstanding Bonds pursuant to an Escrow Agreement. The 2022 Refunding Bonds are expected to be offered to investors for sale pursuant to a Preliminary Official Statement, and are expected to be sold to Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, the underwriter for the 2022 Refunding Bonds, pursuant to a Bond Purchase Agreement, subject to parameters set forth in the Resolution authorizing the issuance of the 2022 Refunding Bonds the title of which is set forth above. Those parameters allow for the issuance of up to $17,000,000 of 2022 Refunding Bonds for the CFD.
The Authority will enter into a Continuing Disclosure Agreement for the 2022 Refunding Bonds, which will require that the Authority provide certain ongoing information for the CFD on annual basis until the 2022 Refunding Bonds have been paid in full. City Staff and consultants have reviewed the documents described above and they are now in form ready for approval by the Board of Directors so that the sale and issuance of the 2022 Refunding Bonds can occur.
If the Board of Directors adopts the Resolution authorizing the issuance of the 2022 Refunding Bonds, it is expected that the 2022 Refunding Bonds will be issued on or about June 12, 2022.
SPECIFIC ACTIONS:
That the Authority adopt the resolution authorizing the issuance of the 2022 Refunding Bonds and approving the documents related thereto.
FISCAL IMPACT: None. The 2022 Refunding Bonds will not be obligations of the City of Temecula, or general obligations of the Authority or of the CFD but will be limited obligations of the Authority for the CFD secured solely by the special taxes levied on the homes in the CFD and amounts held in certain funds and accounts established under the Fiscal Agent Agreement. All costs of issuance of the 2022 Refunding Bonds will be paid from the proceeds of the 2022 Refunding Bonds. All administrative costs of the CFD and the 2022 Refunding Bonds will be paid from proceeds of the special taxes levied on homes in the CFD.

A copy of such Supplemental Agreement, together with a request to Owners for their consent thereto, shall be mailed by first class mail, by the Fiscal Agent to each Owner of Bonds Outstanding, but failure to mail copies of such Supplemental Agreement and request shall not affect the validity of the Supplemental Agreement when assented to as in this Section provided.

After the Owners of the required percentage of Bonds shall have filed their consents to the Supplemental Agreement, the Authority shall mail a notice to the Owners in the manner hereinbefore provided in this Section for the mailing of the Supplemental Agreement, stating in substance that the Supplemental Agreement has been consented to by the Owners of the required percentage of Bonds and will be effective as provided in this Section (but failure to mail copies of said notice shall not affect the validity of the Supplemental Agreement or consents thereto).

Subject to approval by at least a two-thirds vote of the votes cast by the qualified electors within a district and compliance with the provisions of the Act, the legislative body may issue bonds for the community facilities district established by it and may levy and collect a special tax within such district to repay such bonds. * Preliminary, subject to change.

The 2022 Bonds will be dated the date of their issuance and interest on the 2022 Bonds, will be payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year (individually an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing March 1, 2023. See "THE 2022 BONDS." The 2022 Bonds will be issued in book -entry form only and, when delivered, will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC"), which will act as securities depository for the 2022 Bonds. See "THE 2022 BONDS —General Provisions." Redemption Prior to Maturity. The 2022 Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption from Special Tax prepayments prior to their respective maturities. The 2022 Bonds maturing on September J 2022 also are subject to mandatory sinking payment redemption prior to maturity. See "THE 2022 BONDS —Redemption."
Sources of Payment for the 2022 Bonds
The 2022 Bonds are secured by and payable from a first pledge of "Special Tax Revenues," other than the first Special Tax Revenues collected by the Authority in any Fiscal Year, in an amount equal to the portion of such Fiscal Year's Special Tax A levy for Administrative Expenses in an amount not to exceed, in any Fiscal Year $30,000, which are to be deposited to the Administrative Expense Fund. "Special Tax Revenues" is defined in the Fiscal Agent Agreement as the proceeds of the Special Tax A received by the Authority, including any scheduled payments thereof and any prepayments thereof, interest thereon and proceeds of the redemption or sale of property sold as a result of foreclosure of the lien of the Special Taxes to the amount of said lien and interest thereon. "Special Tax Revenues" do not include any penalties collected in connection with delinquent Special Taxes which amounts may be forgiven or disposed of by the Authority in its discretion, and if collected, will be used in a manner consistent with the Act. "Special Taxes" are defined in the Fiscal Agent Agreement as the Special Tax A levied within the District pursuant to the Act, the Ordinance adopted by the legislative body of the District providing for the levy of the Special Taxes and the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Special Taxes will be levied in accordance with the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax (the "Rate and Method") recorded as a lien on the Property pursuant to the Notice of Special Tax Lien. Under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, Special Tax Revenues include amounts levied to pay Administrative Expenses. In accordance with the Fiscal Agent Agreement, such amounts will not be paid to the Fiscal Agent, but will be deposited in the Administrative Expense Fund held by the Treasurer and such amounts are not pledged to the payment of the 2022 Bonds.
-2-
Pursuant to the Act, the Rate and Method and the Fiscal Agent Agreement, so long as any 2022 Bonds are outstanding, the Authority will annually levy the Special Tax against the land within the District not exempt from Special Taxes under the Act and the Rate and Method ("Taxable Property") in accordance with the proceedings for the authorization and issuance of the 2022 Bonds and the Rate and Method, to make provision for the collection of the Special Tax in amounts which will be sufficient to (a) (i) pay debt service due on all 2022 Bonds, for the calendar year that commences in such Fiscal Year; (ii) pay periodic costs related to the 2022 Bonds including credit enhancement costs and federal rebate payments related to 2022 Bonds; (iii) pay Administrative Expenses; (iv) provide an amount equal to any anticipated shortfall due to Special Tax delinquency in the prior Fiscal Year; and (v) pay any amounts required to replenish the Reserve Fund for the 2022 Bonds to the amount of the Reserve Requirement (taking into account the amount available to be drawn on the Reserve Fund Insurance Policy described below); less (b) a credit for funds available under the Fiscal Agent Agreement to reduce the annual Special Tax levy. See "SECURITY FOR THE 2022 BONDS - Summary of Rate and Method" herein.
The Rate and Method exempts from the Special Tax up to 33 acres of Public School District Property and up to 232 acres of Public Property and / or Property Owner's Association Property of the District. In Fiscal Year 2021-22, there were 32.45 acres of Public School District Property, approximately 84.72 acres of Public Property and approximately 23.64 acres of Property Owner's Association Property within the District. See "SECURITY FOR THE 2022 BONDS - Summary of Rate and Method" and "BONDOWNERS' RISKS - Exempt Properties." The Authority has also covenanted in the Fiscal Agent Agreement to cause foreclosure proceedings to be commenced and prosecuted, in certain circumstances, against parcels with delinquent installments of the Special Tax. For a more detailed description of the foreclosure covenant, see "SECURITY FOR THE 2022 BONDS - Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure." Except for the Special Tax Revenues (less certain amounts levied to pay Administrative Expenses), no other taxes are pledged to the payment of the 2022 Bonds. The 2022 Bonds are not general or special obligations of the Authority nor general obligations of the District, but are special obligations of the Authority for the District payable solely from Special Tax Revenues and certain amounts held under the Fiscal Agent Agreement as more fully described herein.
Municipal Bond Insurance and Reserve Fund Insurance Policy Concurrently with the issuance of the Bonds, (the "Municipal Bond Insurer") will issue its Municipal Bond Insurance Policy (the "Policy") for the Bonds maturing on September 1 in the years through and including (collectively, the "Insured Bonds"). The Policy guarantees the scheduled payment of principal of and interest on the Insured Bonds when due as set forth in the form of the Policy included as APPENDIX G - "Specimen Municipal Bond Insurance Policy." The Policy does not insure the payment of the Bonds maturing in the years through and including (the "Uninsured Bonds"). See "MUNICIPAL BOND INSURANCE" herein.
In order to further secure the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, a Reserve Fund has been established by the Fiscal Agent Agreement. 75% of the Reserve Requirement for the 2022 Bonds, as defined in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, is anticipated to be funded by the purchase of a Reserve Fund Municipal Bond Insurance Policy (the "Reserve Fund Insurance Policy") issued by the Municipal Bond Insurer. See "SECURITY FOR THE 2022 BONDS - Reserve Fund."

The Authority
The Authority was formed on April 10, 2001, pursuant to a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (the "JPA Agreement") between the City and the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Temecula (the "Agency"), in accordance with Articles 1 through 4 (commencing with Section 6500) of Chapter 5, Division 7, Title 1 of the Government Code of the State of California.
The JPA Agreement was amended in May of 2016, to provide for the withdrawal of the Successor Agency to the Agency as a member of the Authority, and to add the Temecula Community Services District and the Temecula Housing Authority as members of the Authority. See "THE AUTHORITY."
The District
The District was formed by the Board of Directors of the Authority on October 28, 2003, pursuant to the Act. The District is located at the south end of the City along the northeast side of Pechanga Parkway, extending southeast from Loma Linda Road to Deer Hollow Way, just under a mile south of Temecula Parkway and just over a mile east of the Interstate 15 Freeway.
The District is a master -planned community known as "Wolf Creek" of approximately 557 acres with 1,806 residential lots constituting Developed Property under the Rate and Method. In addition, there are two parcels with a combined approximately 20 acres of vacant land permitted to be developed for commercial uses (which are currently classified as "Undeveloped Property" under the Rate and Method, but are expected to effectively become exempt from the levy of Special Taxes — see "THE DISTRICT —Possible Inapplicability of Special Taxes to Certain Property"). The community also includes elementary and middle schools, an approximately 44- acre sports park, an approximately 6-acre neighborhood park, three park activity nodes along Wolf Creek Drive, paseos, a recreation center, a library and a fire station.

UNDER THE FISCAL AGENT AGREEMENT, AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN THIS OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
Bondowners' Risks
Certain events could affect the ability of the Authority to pay the principal of and interest on the 2022 Bonds when due. Except for the Special Taxes, no other taxes are pledged to the payment of the 2022 Bonds. See "SPECIAL RISK FACTORS" for a discussion of certain factors that should be considered in evaluating an investment in the 2022 Bonds. The purchase of the 2022 Bonds involves significant risks, and the 2022 Bonds are not appropriate investments for all types of investors.

PLAN OF REFUNDING
Refunding of 2012 Bonds
Proceeds from the sale of the 2022 Bonds, together with certain funds ("Prior Funds") held under the fiscal agent agreement pursuant to which the 2012 Bonds were issued, will be deposited in an escrow account (the "Refunding Fund") held by U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, acting as escrow bank (the "Escrow Bank") and as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association, as fiscal agent for the 2012 Bonds (the "Prior Fiscal Agent"), pursuant to an Escrow Agreement dated as of June 1, 2022, between the Authority, for and on behalf of the District, and the Escrow Bank. Amounts in the Refunding Fund will be held in cash and will be sufficient, without reinvestment, to provide for the payment of the scheduled debt service due on the 2022 Bonds on September 1, 2022, and to redeem on that date the 2012 Bonds maturing on or after September 1, 2023.
Upon the deposit of proceeds of the 2022 Bonds and the Prior Funds with the Escrow Bank in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, the 2012 Bonds will be legally defeased and will no longer be entitled to the benefits of, or be secured by, or any pledge of, or lien on, the Special Taxes levied on the Taxable Property in the District. Amounts deposited in the Refunding Fund are not in any way available to pay debt service on the 2022 Bonds. -5-

The 2022 Bonds will be issued only as fully registered 2022 Bonds, in the denomination of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, and will bear interest at the rates per annum and will mature on the dates set forth on the inside cover page of this Official Statement. The 2022 Bonds will be dated the date of their issuance and interest will be payable on each Interest Payment Date, commencing March 1, 2023.
Each 2022 Bond will bear interest from the Interest Payment Date next preceding the date of authentication thereof, unless (a) it is authenticated on an Interest Payment Date, in which event it will bear interest from such date of authentication, or (b) it is authenticated prior to an Interest Payment Date and after the close of business on the Record Date preceding such Interest Payment Date, in which event it will bear interest from such Interest Payment Date, or (c) it is authenticated on or before February 15, 2023, in which event it will bear interest from the date of issuance of the 2022 Bonds; provided, however, that if, as of the date of authentication of any 2022 Bond interest thereon is in default, such 2022 Bond will bear interest from the Interest Payment Date to which interest has previously been paid or made available for payment thereon. "Record Date" is defined in the Fiscal Agent Agreement as the fifteenth day of the month next preceding the month of the applicable Interest Payment Date, whether or not such fifteenth (15th) day is a Business Day.
The 2022 Bonds will be payable both as to principal and interest, and as to any premium upon the redemption thereof, in lawful money of the United States of America. The principal of the 2022 Bonds and any premium due upon the redemption thereof will be payable upon presentation and surrender at the principal corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent. Interest on each 2022 Bond will be computed using a year of 360 days comprised of twelve 30-day months.
The 2022 Bonds will be issued in book -entry form only and, when delivered, will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, which will act as securities depository for the 2022 Bonds. Individual purchases of the 2022 Bonds will be made in book - entry form only. Purchasers of the 2022 Bonds will not receive physical certificates representing their ownership interests in the 2022 Bonds purchased. Principal and interest payments represented by the 2022 Bonds are payable directly to DTC by the Fiscal Agent. Upon receipt of payments of principal and interest, DTC will in turn distribute such payments to the beneficial owners of the 2022 Bonds. See Appendix F — "DTC and the Book -Entry Only System." So long as the 2022 Bonds are registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, references in this Official Statement to the owners shall mean Cede & Co., and shall not mean the purchasers or Beneficial Owners of the 2022 Bonds.

Mandatory Sinking Payment Redemption. The 2022 Bonds maturing on September 1, are subject to mandatory sinking payment redemption in part on September 1, and on each September 1 thereafter to maturity, by lot, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, without premium, from sinking payments as follows:

Mandatory Redemption From Special Tax Prepayments. The 2022 Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption prior to their stated maturity on any Interest Payment Date, from the proceeds of Special Tax Prepayments and corresponding transfers of funds from the Reserve Fund (as described below under "SECURITY FOR THE 2022 BONDS —Reserve Fund"), as a whole or in part in an amount equal to $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the 2022 Bonds to be redeemed), as set forth below, together with accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption:

Since the formation of the District in 2003, none of parcels in the District subject to the levy of the Special Taxes have had their Special Tax levies prepaid. No assurance can be given as to prepayments of Special Taxes levied on the Taxable Property that may occur in the future, which would result in a redemption to 2022 Bonds prior to their maturity. See "SECURITY FOR THE 2022 BONDS —Summary of Rate and Method - Prepayment in Full - Special Tax A" and "- Prepayment in Part - Special Tax A." See also "SPECIAL RISK FACTORS —Potential Early Redemption of 2022 Bonds from Special Tax Prepayments." Purchase of 2022 Bonds In Lieu of Redemption. In lieu of redemption as described above, moneys in the Bond Fund may be used and withdrawn by the Fiscal Agent for purchase of Outstanding 2022 Bonds, upon the filing with the Fiscal Agent of an Officer's Certificate requesting such purchase prior to the selection of 2022 Bonds for redemption, at public or private sale as and when, and at such prices (including brokerage and other charges) as such Officer's Certificate may provide, but in no event may 2022 Bonds be purchased at a price in excess of the principal amount thereof, plus interest accrued to the date of purchase and any premium which would otherwise be due if such 2022 Bonds were redeemed in accordance with the Fiscal Agent Agreement.
Selection of 2022 Bonds for Redemption. Whenever provision is made in the Fiscal Agent Agreement for the redemption of less than all of the 2022 Bonds, the Fiscal Agent will select the 2022 Bonds to be redeemed, from among the maturities of the 2022 Bonds or such given portion thereof not previously redeemed as directed by the Treasurer (who shall specify 2022 Bonds to be redeemed so as to maintain substantially level debt service on the Bonds), and within a maturity by lot in any manner which the Fiscal Agent deems appropriate.
E2
Notice of Redemption. The Fiscal Agent will cause notice of any redemption to be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, or by such other means as is acceptable to the recipient thereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, to the Securities Depositories and to one or more Information Services, and to the respective registered Owners of any 2022 Bonds designated for redemption, at their addresses appearing on the Bond Register maintained by the Fiscal Agent; but such mailing is not a condition precedent to redemption and failure to mail or to receive any such notice, or any defect therein, will not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of such 2022 Bonds. The redemption notice will state the redemption date and the redemption price and, if less than all of the then Outstanding 2022 Bonds are to be called for redemption, will designate the CUSIP numbers and, if applicable, Bond numbers of the 2022 Bonds to be redeemed by giving the individual CUSIP number and, if applicable, 2022 Bond number of each 2022 Bond to be redeemed or if Bond numbers have been assigned by the Fiscal Agent to the 2022 Bonds will state that all 2022 Bonds between two stated Bond numbers, both inclusive, are to be redeemed or that all of the 2022 Bonds of one or more maturities have been called for redemption, will state as to any Bond called in part the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and will require that such 2022 Bonds be then surrendered at the Principal Office of the Fiscal Agent for redemption at the said redemption price, and will state that further interest on such 2022 Bonds will not accrue from and after the redemption date.
Effect of Redemption. From and after the date fixed for redemption, if funds available for the payment of the principal of, and interest and any premium on, the 2022 Bonds so called for redemption have been deposited in the Bond Fund, such 2022 Bonds so called will cease to be entitled to any benefit under the Fiscal Agent Agreement other than the right to receive payment of the redemption price, and no interest will accrue thereon on or after the redemption date specified in such notice.
Tender of 2022 Bonds in Payment of Special Taxes. The Authority has covenanted in the Fiscal Agent Agreement not to permit the tender of 2022 Bonds in payment of any Special Taxes except upon receipt of a certificate of an Independent Financial Consultant that to accept such tender will not result in the Authority having insufficient Special Tax Revenues to pay the principal of and interest on the 2022 Bonds that will remain Outstanding following such tender.
Transfer or Exchange of 2022 Bonds
So long as the 2022 Bonds are registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, transfers and exchanges of 2022 Bonds shall be made in accordance with DTC procedures. See Appendix F — "DTC and the Book -Entry Only System." If the book -entry only system for the 2022 Bonds is ever discontinued, any 2022 Bond may, in accordance with its terms, be transferred or exchanged by the person in whose name it is registered, in person or by his duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of such 2022 Bond for cancellation, accompanied by delivery of a duly written instrument of transfer in a form acceptable to the Fiscal Agent.
Whenever any 2022 Bond or 2022 Bonds are surrendered for transfer or exchange, the Authority will execute and the Fiscal Agent will authenticate and deliver a new 2022 Bond or 2022 Bonds, for a like aggregate principal amount of 2022 Bonds of authorized denominations and of the same maturity. The Fiscal Agent will collect from the Owner requesting such transfer any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer or exchange.
No transfers or exchanges of 2022 Bonds will be required to be made (i) within the 15 days prior to the date designated by the Fiscal Agent as the date for selecting 2022 Bonds for redemption, (ii) with respect to any 2022 Bond after such 2022 Bond has been selected for redemption, or (iii) between a Record Date and the succeeding Interest Payment Date. 0 Discontinuance of DTC Services
DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the 2022 Bonds by giving written notice to the Fiscal Agent during any time that the 2022 Bonds are Outstanding, and discharging its responsibilities with respect to the 2022 Bonds under applicable law. The Authority may terminate the services of DTC with respect to the 2022 Bonds if it determines that DTC is unable to discharge its responsibilities with respect to the 2022 Bonds or that continuation of the system of book -entry transfers through DTC is not in the best interest of the Beneficial Owners. The Authority will mail any such notice of termination to the Fiscal Agent.
Upon the termination of the services of DTC as provided in the previous paragraph, and if no substitute Depository willing to undertake the functions can be found which is willing and able to undertake such functions upon reasonable or customary terms, or if the Authority determines that it is in the best interest of the Beneficial Owners of the 2022 Bonds that they obtain certificated Bonds, the 2022 Bonds will no longer be restricted to being registered in the Registration Books of the Fiscal Agent in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, but may be registered in whatever name or names the Owners designate at that time, in accordance with the Fiscal Agent Agreement.
To the extent that the Beneficial Owners are designated as the transferees by the Owners, the 2022 Bonds will be delivered to such Beneficial Owners as soon as practicable in accordance with the Fiscal Agent Agreement.

SECURITY FOR THE 2022 BONDS
General
Pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the 2022 Bonds are secured by a first pledge of all of the Special Tax Revenues (other than the Special Tax Revenues to be deposited to the Administrative Expense Fund pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement) and all moneys deposited in the Bond Fund (including the Special Tax Prepayments Account therein), the Reserve Fund and, until disbursed in accordance with the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the Special Tax Fund. Special Tax Revenues do not include penalties, if any, collected in respect of delinquent Special Taxes. The Special Tax Revenues and all moneys deposited into said funds (except as otherwise provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement) are dedicated to the payment of the principal of, and interest and any premium on, the 2022 Bonds in accordance with the Fiscal Agent Agreement until all of the 2022 Bonds have been paid or defeased.
Amounts in the Administrative Expense Fund, the Improvement Fund, the Costs of Issuance Fund, the Refunding Fund and the Special Tax Revenues to be deposited to the Administrative Expense Fund pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement are not pledged to the repayment of the 2022 Bonds. The Improvements are not pledged as collateral for the 2022 Bonds. The proceeds of condemnation or destruction of any of the Improvements are not pledged to pay the Debt Service on the 2022 Bonds.
Limited Obligation
The 2022 Bonds are limited obligations of the Authority on behalf of the District and are payable solely from and secured solely by the Special Tax Revenues, other than up to $30,000 of the first Special Tax Revenues collected in any Fiscal Year to be used to pay Administrative Expenses, and the amounts in the Bond Fund (including the Special Tax Prepayments Account therein), the Reserve Fund and the Special Tax Fund created pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement. In the event that the Special Taxes are not paid when due, the only sources of funds available to repay the 2022 Bonds are amounts held by the Fiscal Agent under the Fiscal Agent Agreement in the Bond Fund, the Reserve Fund and the Special Tax Fund, and the proceeds, if any, from foreclosure sales of parcels with delinquent Special Tax levies.
Special Taxes
In accordance with the provisions of the Act, the Rate and Method was approved at the time of formation of the District in October of 2003 by the then owners of the property in the District. The Rate and Method is set forth in its entirety in Appendix B. Under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the Authority is obligated to fix and levy the amount of Special Taxes within the District required for the timely payment of principal of and interest on the outstanding 2022 Bonds becoming due and payable, along with necessary replenishment of the Reserve Fund, an amount needed to pay any costs related to the 2022 Bonds, an amount in respect of anticipated delinquencies in payment of the Special Taxes, and an amount estimated to be sufficient to pay the Administrative Expenses, taking into account any prepayments of Special Taxes previously received by the Authority. The Special Taxes levied on any parcel of Taxable Property may not in any event exceed the maximum amount as provided in the Rate and Method and the Act.
The Special Taxes are payable and are to be collected in the same manner, at the same time and in the same installment as County ad valorem taxes on property levied on the secured tax roll are payable, and pursuant to the Act have the same priority, become delinquent at the same times and in the same proportionate amounts and bear the same proportionate penalties and interest after delinquency as do the taxes levied on the County secured tax roll. -11-
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Taxes may be collected in certain circumstances by means of direct billing of the owners of Taxable Property.
Although the Special Taxes will constitute a lien on taxed parcels within the District, they do not constitute a personal indebtedness of the owners of the property within the District.
Pursuant to Section 53356.1 of the Act, in the event of any delinquency in the payment of the Special Tax on a parcel of Taxable Property, the Authority may order the institution of a superior court action to foreclose the lien on the parcel of Taxable Property within specified time limits. In such an action, the real property subject to the unpaid amount of the Special Tax lien may be sold at judicial foreclosure sale. The Act provides that the Special Taxes are secured by a continuing lien that is subject to the same lien priority in the case of delinquency as ad valorem property taxes. See "SECURITY FOR THE 2022 BONDS —Summary of Rate and Method," and "—Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure" and "SPECIAL RISK FACTORS — Parity Taxes and Special Assessments."
The property located within the District is subject to other liens for taxes and assessments, and other such liens could come into existence in the future. See "SPECIAL RISK FACTORS —Parity Taxes and Special Assessments." There is no assurance that any owner of a parcel subject to the Special Tax levy will be financially able to pay the annual Special Taxes or that it will pay such taxes even if financially able to do so. See "SPECIAL RISK FACTORS." For historic information regarding assessed valuations and the payment of, and delinquencies with respect to, Special Taxes in the District, see "THE DISTRICT -Assessed Property Values," and "-Special Tax Delinquencies."
Special Tax Fund
Deposit of Special Tax Revenues. The Fiscal Agent Agreement establishes a Special Tax Fund to be held by the Fiscal Agent. Under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the Authority is obligated to transfer or cause to be transferred to the Fiscal Agent, for deposit by the Fiscal Agent in the Special Tax Fund, as soon as practicable following receipt, all Special Tax Revenues received by the Authority.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(i) the first Special Tax Revenues collected by the Authority in any Fiscal Year, in an amount equal to the portion of such Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy for Administrative Expenses (but not to exceed, in any Fiscal Year, $30,000.00), shall be deposited by the Treasurer in the Administrative Expense Fund;
(ii) any Special Tax Revenues constituting the collection of delinquencies in payment of Special Taxes shall be separately identified by the Treasurer and shall be deposited by the Fiscal Agent first, in the Bond Fund to the extent needed to pay any past due debt service on the Bonds; second, to the Reserve Fund to the extent needed to increase the amount then on deposit in the Reserve Fund up to the then Reserve Requirement; third, to the Administrative Expense Fund to the extent that amounts in such fund were used to pay costs related to the collection of such delinquencies; and fourth, to the Special Tax Fund for use as described below; and (iii) any proceeds of Special Tax Prepayments shall be transferred by the Treasurer to the Fiscal Agent for deposit by the Fiscal Agent (as specified in writing by the Treasurer to the Fiscal Agent) directly in the Special Tax Prepayments Account established under the Fiscal Agent Agreement.
-12-
Moneys in the Special Tax Fund will be held by the Fiscal Agent for the benefit of the Authority and the Owners of the Bonds, will be disbursed as described below and, pending any disbursement, will be subject to a lien in favor of the Owners of the Bonds and the Authority.
Disbursements. On each Interest Payment Date, the Fiscal Agent will withdraw from the Special Tax Fund and transfer the following amounts in the following order of priority:
(i) to the Bond Fund an amount, taking into account any amounts then on deposit in the Bond Fund and any expected transfers under the Fiscal Agent Agreement from the Improvement Fund, the Reserve Fund and the Special Tax Prepayments Account to the Bond Fund, such that the amount in the Bond Fund equals the principal (including any sinking payment), premium, if any, and interest due on the Bonds on such Interest Payment Date; and
(ii) to the Reserve Fund an amount, taking into account amounts then on deposit in the Reserve Fund, such that the amount in the Reserve Fund is equal to the Reserve Requirement.
In addition to the foregoing, if in any Fiscal Year there are sufficient funds in the Special Tax Fund to make the foregoing transfers to the Bond Fund and the Reserve Fund in respect of the Interest Payment Dates occurring in the Bond Year that commences in such Fiscal Year, the Treasurer may transfer to the Administrative Expense Fund, from time to time, any amount in the Special Tax Fund in excess of the amount needed to make such transfers to the Bond Fund and the Reserve Fund, if monies are needed to pay Administrative Expenses in excess of the amount then on deposit in the Administrative Expense Fund.
Summary of Rate and Method
General. The Special Tax is levied and collected according to the Rate and Method, a copy of which is set forth in Appendix B - "Rate and Method." The then qualified electors of the District approved the Rate and Method on October 28, 2003.

The Rate and Method provides the means by which the Board of Directors of the Authority may annually levy the Special Taxes within the District up to the applicable Maximum Special Tax. The Rate and Method provides that the Annual Special Tax A may not be levied after Fiscal Year 2053-54.
Special Tax A Requirement; Special Tax B Requirement. Annually, at the time of levying the Special Tax for improvements with respect to the District, the Authority will determine the amount of money to be collected from Taxable Property in the District (the "Special Tax A Requirement"), which will be the amount required in any Fiscal Year to pay the following:
(i) annual debt service on all outstanding Bonds due in the calendar year which commences in such Fiscal Year;
(ii) periodic cost on the Bonds, including, but not limited to, credit enhancement and rebate payments on the Bonds;
(iii) Administrative Expenses;

In addition, annually at the time of levying the special tax for services with respect to the District, the Authority will determine the amount of money to be collected from Taxable Property in the District, which will be the amount required in any Fiscal Year to pay the estimated costs of providing services, including the salaries of City staff related to and a proportionate share of City overhead costs, for the maintenance of the Flood Control Channel in an amount not to exceed $140,024.14 for Fiscal Year 2021-22, increasing by 2% each Fiscal Year thereafter (the "Special Tax B Requirement"). Revenues derived from the levy and collection of Special Tax B do not constitute "Special Taxes" or "Special Tax Revenues" as such terms are used herein and are not pledged to the payment of debt service on the 2022 Bonds.
Developed and Undeveloped Property; Exempt Property. The Rate and Method declares that for each Fiscal Year, all Parcels of Taxable Property within the District shall be classified as either Developed Property, Approved Property, Undeveloped Property, Public Property and / or Property Owner's Association Property that is not Exempt Property and shall be subject to the levy of Special Taxes in accordance with the Rate and Method. (i) "Taxable Property" means all Parcels in the District which have not prepaid their respective Special Taxes in their entirety pursuant to the Rate and Method, or are not exempt from the Special Tax pursuant to law or the Rate and Method. (ii) "Developed Property" means all Parcels of Taxable Property, not categorized as Approved Property, Undeveloped Property, Public Property and / or Property Owner's Association Property that are not Exempt Property pursuant to the provisions of the Rate and Method, (i) that are included in a Final Map that was recorded prior to the January 1st preceding the Fiscal Year in which the Special Tax is being levied and (ii) a building permit for new construction has been issued prior to April 1st preceding the Fiscal Year in which the Special Tax is being levied.
(iii) "Approved Property" means for the any Fiscal Year, all Parcels of Taxable Property: (i) that are included in a Final Map that was recorded prior to the January 1st preceding the Fiscal Year in which the Special Tax is being levied, and (ii) for which a building permit was not issued prior to the April 1st preceding the Fiscal Year in which the Special Tax is being levied.
(iv) "Public Property" means any property within the boundary of the District which, as of January 1st of the preceding Fiscal Year for which the Special Tax is being levied is used for rights -of -way or any other purpose and is owned by, dedicated to, or irrevocably offered for dedication to the federal government, the State of California, the County of Riverside (the "County"), the City or any other local jurisdiction, provided, however, that any property leased by a public agency to a private entity and subject to taxation under Section 53340.1 of the Act shall be taxed and classified according to its use.
-14-
(v) "Public School District Property' means 33 acres that are acquired or known to the District Administrator to be acquired by Temecula Valley Unified School District located within the Wolf Creek Specific Plan No. 12 approved on January 23, 2001, or as subsequently modified, supplemented or amended.
(vi) "Undeveloped Property" means all Taxable Property not classified as Developed Property, Approved Property, Public Property and / or Property Owner's Association Property that is not Exempt Property (as defined in the Rate and Method). (vii) "Exemptions" is defined to include the following: The Rate and Method provides that no Special Tax shall be levied on up to 33 acres of Public School District Property and up to 232 acres of Public Property and / or Property Owner's Association Property within the District. As of June 1, 2022, there was approximately 32.45 acres of Public School District Property, approximately 84.72 acres of Public Property and approximately 23.64 acres of Property Owner's Association Property within the District.
The District Administrator will assign Exempt Property status in the chronological order in which property becomes Public Property and / or Property Owner's Association Property. After the limit of 232 acres within the District has been reached, the Maximum Special Tax A obligation for any additional Public Property and / or Property Owner's Association Property shall be prepaid in full pursuant to the Rate and Method, prior to the transfer or dedication of such property. Until the Maximum Special Tax A obligation is prepaid as provided in the preceding sentence, the Public Property and / or Property Owner's Association Property within the District shall be subject to the levy of the Special Tax as provided for in the Rate and Method.
Maximum Special Tax. The Maximum Special Tax is defined in the Rate and Method as follows:
Approved Property. The Maximum Special Tax A for each Parcel of Approved Property is $9,374 per acre. The Maximum Special Tax B for each Parcel of Approved Property in Fiscal Year 2022-23 is $539.09 and increases by 2.00% each Fiscal Year thereafter. The Maximum Special Tax for each Parcel categorized as Approved Property shall be the Maximum Special Tax A plus the Maximum Special Tax B.
Developed Property. The Maximum Special Tax A for each Parcel of Residential Property that is categorized as Developed Property shall be the greater of (i) the applicable Assigned Special Tax described in the Rate and Method, or (ii) the amount derived by application of the Backup Special Tax. The Maximum Special Tax A for each Parcel of Non -Residential Property or Multifamily Residential Property shall be the Assigned Special Tax described in the Rate and Method.
The Assigned Special Tax for each Parcel of Developed Property, except Multiple Land Use Property, ranges from $987 to $2,294 per single-family residential unit and $9,374 per acre for a multifamily residential unit in the District. See APPENDIX B - "Rate and Method Table 1" herein for a listing of the Assigned Annual Special Tax rates for various sizes of units in the District.
Backup Special Tax. The Backup Special Tax is $9,374 per acre for Parcels of Developed Property that are included in a Final Map.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if parcels of Residential Property are subsequently changed or modified by recordation of a lot line adjustment or similar instrument, then the Backup Special Tax shall be recalculated.
-15-
Method of Apportionment. The Rate and Method provides that each Fiscal Year, the Authority shall levy the Special Tax on all Taxable Property until the amount of Special Taxes equals the Special Tax Requirement in accordance with the following steps:
First: The Special Tax A shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of Developed Property at up to 100% of the applicable Assigned Special Tax rate in Table 1 of the Rate and Method as needed to satisfy the Special Tax A Requirement. The Special Tax B shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of Developed Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax B as needed to satisfy the Special Tax B Requirement; Second: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax A Requirement after the first step has been completed, the Special Tax A shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of Approved Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax A for Approved Property. If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax B Requirement after the first step has been completed, the Special Tax B shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of Approved Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax B for Approved Property;
Third: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax A Requirement after the first two steps have been completed, the Special Tax A shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of Undeveloped Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax A for Undeveloped Property. If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax B Requirement after the first two steps have been completed, the Special Tax B shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of Undeveloped Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax B for Undeveloped Property;
Fourth: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax A Requirement after the first three steps have been completed, the Special Tax A to be levied on each Parcel of Developed Property whose Maximum Special Tax A is derived through the application of the Backup Special Tax shall be increased in equal percentages from the Assigned Special Tax up to the Maximum Special Tax A for each such Parcel; and Fifth: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax A Requirement after the first four steps have been completed, then the Special Tax A shall be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of Public Property and / or Property Owner's Association Property that is not Exempt Property pursuant to the provisions of the Rate and Method at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax A.
Notwithstanding the above, pursuant to Section 53321 of the Act as in effect at the time of formation of the District, the Rate and Method states that under no circumstances will the Special Taxes levied against any Parcel of Residential Property be increased by more than ten percent (10%) per Fiscal Year as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other Parcel within the District. For such purposes, Residential Property is a Parcel of Developed Property for which a building permit has been issued for purpose of constructing one or more residential dwelling units.
In Fiscal Year 2022-23, Special Taxes are expected to be levied at approximately 68.25%* of the Assigned Special Tax rate on Developed Property. No Special Taxes are expected to be levied on Undeveloped Property in Fiscal Year 2022-23. If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax A Requirement after the levy of Special Taxes at the applicable Assigned * Preliminary, subject to change.
-16-
Special Tax rate, the Special Tax A will be levied Proportionately on each Parcel of Undeveloped Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax A for Undeveloped Property.
As of June 1, 2022, there are approximately 20 acres of Undeveloped Property. The Authority cannot predict how much property will constitute Undeveloped Property in Fiscal Year 2023-24 or in any future Fiscal Year. In any event, the Undeveloped Property could effectively become exempt from the levy of Special Taxes (see "THE DISTRICT —Possible Inapplicability of Special Taxes to Certain Property"), so that it should not be assumed that the currently Undeveloped Property will ever be a source of Special Tax Revenue for the District.
Prepayment in Full — Special Tax A. The Maximum Special Tax A obligation may only be prepaid and permanently satisfied for a Parcel of Developed Property, Approved Property for which a building permit has been issued, or Public Property and / or Property Owner's Association Property that is not Exempt Property pursuant to the Rate and Method, except that a Special Tax B may be levied on such Parcel after the prepayment has occurred. The Maximum Special Tax A obligation applicable to such Parcel may be fully prepaid and the obligation of the Parcel to pay the Special Tax A permanently satisfied as described in the Rate and Method, provided that a prepayment may be made only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to the Parcel at the time of prepayment. The Prepayment Amount for an applicable Parcel after the issuance of 2022 Bonds is calculated based on Bond Redemption Amounts and other costs, all as specified in APPENDIX B — "Rate and Method" herein. Any such prepayment will result in a redemption of 2022 Bonds prior to maturity. See "THE 2022 BONDS — Redemption — Mandatory Redemption From Special Tax Prepayments." See also "SPECIAL RISK FACTORS —Potential Early Redemption of 2022 Bonds from Special Tax Prepayments." Prepayment in Part - Special Tax A. The Maximum Special Tax A on a Parcel of Developed Property or a Parcel of Approved Property for which a building permit has been issued may be partially prepaid in increments of $5,000. The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated pursuant to the Rate and Method. Any such prepayment will result in a redemption of 2022 Bonds prior to maturity. See "THE 2022 BONDS —Redemption — Mandatory Redemption From Special Tax Prepayments." See also "SPECIAL RISK FACTORS —Potential Early Redemption of 2022 Bonds from Special Tax Prepayments."

Reserve Fund
The Fiscal Agent Agreement establishes a debt service reserve fund (the "Reserve Fund") as a separate fund to be held by the Fiscal Agent for the benefit of the Owners of the 2022 Bonds as a reserve for the payment of principal of, and interest and any premium on, the 2022 Bonds. Moneys in the Reserve Fund are subject to a lien in favor of the Owners of the 2022 Bonds. The Reserve Fund is required by the Fiscal Agent Agreement to be maintained in an amount equal to the Reserve Requirement, which is defined in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, as of any date of calculation, as an amount equal to the then Maximum Annual Debt Service, which will be $ as of the Closing Date.
On the date of issuance of the 2022 Bonds, a deposit will be made to the Reserve Fund from proceeds of the 2022 Bonds in an amount equal to 25% of the Reserve Requirement as of the date of issuance of the 2022 Bonds, and 75% of the Reserve Requirement will be satisfied with the deposit of the Reserve Fund Municipal Bond Insurance Policy (the "Reserve Fund Insurance Policy"), to be issued by the Municipal Bond Insurer. The Authority is not required under the Fiscal Agent Agreement to replace the Reserve Fund Insurance Policy with cash or a replacement instrument in the event the ratings of the Municipal Bond Insurer decline or are withdrawn or if amounts are unavailable to be drawn under the Reserve Fund Insurance Policy.
See "SPECIAL RISK FACTORS - Bond Insurance."
-18-
Except as otherwise provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement (with respect to the use of moneys in the Reserve Fund in connection with prepayments of Special Taxes, for the payment of any rebate liability due to the federal government, and the use of moneys in excess of the Reserve Requirement to pay debt service on the Bonds), all amounts deposited in the Reserve Fund 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 and any premium on, the Bonds.
The Fiscal Agent Agreement allows for amounts in the Reserve Fund to be used, at the written direction of an Authorized Officer of the Authority, for purposes of paying any federal rebate liability under the Fiscal Agent Agreement.
Whenever the balance of funds in the Reserve Fund equals or exceeds the amount required to redeem or pay all of the Outstanding 2022 Bonds (not taking into account the amount available to be drawn on the Reserve Fund Insurance Policy), including interest accrued to the date of payment or redemption, the Fiscal Agent will transfer the amount in the Reserve Fund to the Bond Fund to be used for the payment and redemption of all of the Outstanding 2022 Bonds. In the event that the amount transferred from the Reserve Fund to the Bond Fund exceeds the amount required to pay and redeem the Outstanding 2022 Bonds, the balance in the Reserve Fund will be retained by the Authority, free of any encumbrance by the Fiscal Agent Agreement, to be used for any lawful purpose under the Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amounts will be transferred from the Reserve Fund until after (i) amounts in the Reserve Fund are withdrawn for purposes of making payment to the federal government in accordance with the Fiscal Agent Agreement, and (ii) payment of any fees and expenses due to the Fiscal Agent.
Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure
Foreclosure Under the Act. Pursuant to Section 53356.1 of the Act, in the event of any delinquency in the payment of the Special Tax on the taxed parcel, the Authority may order the institution of a superior court action to foreclose the lien on the taxed parcel within specified time limits. In such an action, the real property subject to the unpaid amount of the Special Tax lien may be sold at judicial foreclosure sale.
Authority Foreclosure Covenant. The Authority has covenanted for the benefit of the Bondowners that the Treasurer will determine on or about February 15 and June 15 of each year whether or not all Special Taxes levied in the prior Fiscal Year have been received by the Authority and, consequently, whether any deficiencies in payment of Special Taxes exist. The Fiscal Agent Agreement provides that, following such determination: (A) if, as of any June 15, the Treasurer 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 $2,500 or more, the Treasurer will send or cause to be sent a notice of delinquency (and a demand for immediate payment thereof) to the property owner, and (if the delinquency remains uncured) foreclosure proceedings shall be commenced by the Authority against the delinquent parcel within 90 days of the sending of such notice; and (B) if the Treasurer determines that, as of any June 15, the total amount of delinquent Special Tax for the then current Fiscal Year for the entire District (including the total of delinquencies under subsection (A) above), exceeds 5% of the total Special Tax due and payable for the then current Fiscal Year, the Treasurer shall promptly notify or cause to be notified property owners who are then delinquent in the payment of Special Taxes (and demand immediate payment of the delinquency), and the Authority shall commence foreclosure proceedings against such parcels within 90 days after the notices of delinquency have been sent.
-19-
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Treasurer may defer any mailing of notices of delinquency or foreclosure action if the amount in the Reserve Fund is at least equal to the Reserve Requirement. See Appendix C — "Summary of the Fiscal Agent Agreement." No assurance can be given as to the time necessary to complete any foreclosure sale or that any foreclosure sale will be successful. The Authority is not required to be a bidder at any foreclosure sale and does not intend to be such a bidder.
Sufficiency of Foreclosure Sale Proceeds; Foreclosure Limitations and Delays. 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. Subject to the maximum rates, the Rate and Method is designed to generate from all non-exempt property within the District the current year's debt service, administrative expenses, and replenishment of the Reserve Fund to the Reserve Requirement, including an amount reflecting the prior year's delinquencies. However, if foreclosure proceedings are necessary, and the Reserve Fund has been depleted, there could be a delay in payments to owners of the 2022 Bonds pending prosecution of the foreclosure proceedings and receipt by the Authority of the proceeds of the foreclosure sale.
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 Authority, as judgment creditor, is entitled to purchase any property sold at foreclosure using a "credit bid," where the Authority 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 Authority becomes the purchaser under a credit bid, the Authority must pay the amount of its credit bid into the Bond Fund established for the Bonds, but this payment may be made up to 24 months after the date of the foreclosure sale. Neither the Act nor the Fiscal Agent Agreement requires the Authority to purchase or otherwise acquire any lot or parcel of property foreclosed upon if there is no other purchaser at such sale, and the Authority has no intent to be such a purchaser.
The Authority will levy the Special Tax to pay the current year's debt service and related administrative expenses and to replenish the Reserve Fund to the Reserve Requirement taking into account the amount available to be drawn under the Reserve Fund Insurance Policy, subject to Maximum Special Tax A rates. However, in the event such superior court foreclosure proceedings are necessary, and if the Reserve Fund is depleted, there could be a delay in payments of principal of and interest on the 2022 Bonds pending prosecution of the foreclosure proceedings and receipt by the Authority of the proceeds of the foreclosure sale. See "SPECIAL RISK FACTORS —Bankruptcy Delays" and "—Proceeds of Foreclosure Sales." Note also that the approximately 20 acres of property in the District currently classified under the RMA as Undeveloped Property could effectively become exempt from the levy of Special Taxes. See "THE DISTRICT —Possible Inapplicability of Special Taxes to Certain Property." No Teeter Plan
Collection of the Special Taxes is not subject to the "Alternative Method of Distribution of Tax Levies and Collections and of Tax Sale Proceeds," as provided for in Section 4701 et seq. of the California Revenue and Taxation Code (known as the "Teeter Plan"). Accordingly, collections of Special Taxes will reflect actual delinquencies, if any. -20-
Investment of Moneys
Except as otherwise provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, all moneys in any of the funds or accounts established pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement will be invested by the Fiscal Agent solely in Permitted Investments, as directed by the Authority. See Appendix C — "Summary of the Fiscal Agent Agreement" for a definition of "Permitted Investments" and for additional provisions regarding the investment of funds held under the Fiscal Agent Agreement.
MUNICIPAL BOND INSURANCE
Bond Insurance Policy
Concurrently with the issuance of the 2022 Bonds, (" if or the "Municipal Bonds Insurer") will issue its Municipal Bond Insurance Policy (the "Policy") for the 2022 Bonds maturing on September 1 of the years through (collectively, the "Insured Bonds"). The Policy guarantees the scheduled payment of principal of and interest on the Insured Bonds when due as set forth in the form of the Policy included as an appendix to this Official Statement.

THE DISTRICT
Location and General Description of the District
The District is located at the south end of the City along the northeast side of Pechanga Parkway, extending southeast from Loma Linda Road to Deer Hollow Way, just under a mile south of Temecula Parkway and just over a mile east of the Interstate 15 Freeway. The District is a master -planned community known as Wolf Creek, of approximately 557 acres, with 1,806 residential lots improved with single family homes constituting Developed Property under the Rate and Method.
In addition, there are approximately 20 acres of vacant land permitted to be developed for commercial uses (which are currently classified as "Undeveloped Property" under the Rate and Method, but are expected to effectively become exempt from the levy of Special Taxes — see "THE DISTRICT —Possible Inapplicability of Special Taxes to Certain Property"), elementary and middle schools, an approximately 43-acre sports park, an approximately 6-acre neighborhood park, three park activity nodes along Wolf Creek Drive, paseos, a recreation center, a library and a fire station. Unincorporated County area is across Pechanga Parkway to the west and southwest and also the area nearby to the south. The property within the District is governed by the Wolf Creek Specific Plan.
The Wolf Creek development includes a narrow 6.7-acre park contiguous to Wolf Creek Drive North and Wolf Creek Drive South, including three activity nodes, spanning from the north half to the south half of the project, as well as a paseo system along the backbone roads. In addition, a 6-acre park, located at the main corner of Wolf Valley Road and Wolf Creek Loop Road in the center of the District, includes various amenities such as an open play field, picnic areas, public restrooms, tot lots, monumentation, landscaping, walkways and bike and pedestrian lanes, parking and possible art components in public places. In addition to the public parks, a private recreational facility was constructed that is owned and maintained by the Wolf -21-
Creek Maintenance Corporation. The City also constructed an approximately 43-acre sports facility which includes baseball and soccer fields and many other amenities and recreational components.
In addition to the above listed amenities, schools and parks, the community provides a wide range of housing. The lot sizes span between 20,000 square foot custom lots to 3,000 square foot courtyard lots.
The Temecula Valley Unified School District developed the Temecula Luiseno Elementary School within Phase 1 of the project. The elementary school supplements the Earle Stanley Gardner Middle School, which opened August 27, 2003, adjacent to the first phase of the project and the Great Oak High School at Deer Hollow and Pechanga Parkway (outside the boundary of the District).
A fire station is located in the center of the District, which also enhances fire protection and emergency response for the surrounding community.
The Wolf Creek development is situated on the floor of Wolf Valley. The Pechanga Creek Channel is located offsite to the southwest, across Pechanga Parkway. The parcel slopes gently to the northwest, with a grade change of approximately 120 feet and overall slope of less than two percent. The Wolf Creek Channel, an earthen channel, is located on the northeast side of Pechanga Parkway. The natural terrain and drainage onsite have been modified by agricultural uses. Views consist of the coastal Santa Ana Mountains to the northwest and the Santa Margarita and Agua Tibia ranges to the southeast and southwest.
Historic flood control problems in the vicinity of the District were remedied by the construction of a wide grass -lined flood control channel along the Pechanga Parkway, designed to contain the 100-year floods for the surrounding area.
The Wolf Creek development is surrounded on four sides by existing development. It is located immediately adjacent to the developed areas of Rainbow Canyon on the west, and the Redhawk residential and golf course community to the east and the south. Commercial uses exist to the northwest of the Wolf Creek development, including a building supply store, mini warehouse, convenience market and nursery. The Temecula Creek Inn and Golf Course Resort is located to the northwest. The developed portion of the Pechanga Indian Reservation is located southwest of the property across Pechanga Parkway where a casino and support commercial uses have been constructed.

Possible Inapplicability of Special Taxes to Certain Property The Authority understands that the two parcels totaling approximately 20 acres of property in the District currently classified as Undeveloped Property under the Rate and Method are owned by the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians (the "Tribe"). The Authority has been advised that the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Pacific Regional Office, has prepared an Environmental Assessment (the "EA"), dated March 2022, for the transfer of the two parcels into federal trust status for the Tribe, for development of commercial uses at a future time.
Based on the analysis and impacts in the EA, any input received during a public review period, and the entire administrative record, the Bureau of Indian Affairs will decide whether to reach a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), direct further work on the EA, or initiate the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement. A draft, unsigned FONSI has been prepared and is available for review along with the EA at the Temecula Public Library, 30600 Pauba Rd, Temecula, CA 92592.
If the two parcels ultimately are brought into federal trust status for the Tribe, it is expected that the Authority will not be able to levy Special Taxes on the parcels in the future, whether or not they are developed. It should be noted that currently no Special Taxes are being levied on the parcels, and Special Taxes are currently being levied on Developed Property in the District at approximately 64.18% of the Maximum Special Tax rate applicable to Developed Property.
Land Use Distribution
The District includes 1,806 separate County Assessor's parcels each of which have been improved with a single-family detached home, and two undeveloped parcels. The following table shows the distribution of land use classes of the Taxable Property within the District based on the Rate and Method, the County Fiscal Year 2021-22 assessed values of the parcels, the estimated Special Tax levy for fiscal year 2022-23 for each land use class, and the percentage of the overall Special Tax levy by land use class.

Assessed Property Values
No Appraisal of Property in the District. The Authority has not commissioned an appraisal of the Taxable Property in the District in connection with the issuance of the 2022 Bonds. Therefore, the valuation of the Taxable Property in the District has been estimated for purposes of the Act, and as set forth in this Official Statement, based on the County Assessor's values for Fiscal Year 2021-22.
Assessed Valuation. The valuation of real property in the Authority for ad valorem tax purposes is established by the County Assessor. Assessed valuations are reported at 100% of the full value of the property, as defined in Article XIIIA of the California Constitution. Article XIIIA of the California Constitution defines "full cash value" as the appraised value as of March 1, 1975, plus adjustments not to exceed 2% per year to reflect inflation, and requires assessment of "full cash value" upon change of ownership or new construction. Accordingly, the assessed valuations presented in this Official Statement may not necessarily be representative of the actual market value of the property in the District.
According to the County Assessor's records, as reported by the Special Tax Administrator, the fiscal year 2021-22 total assessed value of 1,808 parcels of Taxable Property in the District is $873,780,803.
Historical Assessed Values. The table below shows annual changes in assessed valuations between fiscal years 2015-16 and 2021-22 with respect to the parcels of Taxable Property that are subject to the levy of Special taxes securing the repayment of the 2022 Bonds. -25-

Value -to -District Lien Ratio
General Information Regarding Value -to -District Lien Ratios. The value -to -District lien ratio on bonds secured by special taxes will generally vary over the life of those bonds as a result of changes in the value of the property that is security for the special taxes and the principal amount of the bonds.
In comparing the aggregate assessed value of the real property within the District, and the principal amount of the 2022 Bonds, it should be noted that an individual parcel may only be foreclosed upon to pay delinquent installments of the Special Taxes attributable to that parcel. The principal amount of the 2022 Bonds are not allocated among the parcels within the District based on their respective assessed values; rather, the total Special Taxes have been allocated among the parcels within the District according to the Rate and Method.
Economic and other factors beyond the property owners' control, such as economic recession, deflation of land values, financial difficulty or bankruptcy by one or more property owners, or the complete or partial destruction of Taxable Property caused by, among other possibilities, earthquake, flood, fire or other natural disaster, could cause a reduction in the assessed value within the District. See "SPECIAL RISK FACTORS —Property Value" and "Bankruptcy Delays."
Aggregate Value -to -District Lien Ratio. The aggregate value -to -District lien ratio of Taxable Property in the District, based on fiscal year 2021-22 County assessed values ($873,780,803), and the initial principal amount of the 2022 Bonds ($15,300,000*) is approximately 57:1*. There is, however, overlapping debt, and the properties in the District are subject to a number of taxes, direct charges and assessments. See "THE DISTRICT —Direct and Overlapping Governmental Obligations" below.
* Preliminary, subject to change.

Value -to -District Lien Ratio Distribution. The table below shows the projected fiscal year 2022-23 projected Special Tax levy, the fiscal year 2021-22 County assessed value, the allocation of the principal amount of the 2022 Bonds to the respective Taxable Parcels, and the estimated debt to value ratios for the ten largest Special Taxpayers in the District.

THE AUTHORITY
The Temecula Public Financing Authority was established pursuant to a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, dated April 10, 2001 (the "JPA Agreement"), by and between the City and the Agency. The JPA was entered into pursuant to the provisions of Articles 1 through 4 (commencing with Section 6500) of Chapter 5, Division 7, Title 1 of the Government Code of the State of California. The Authority was formed for the primary purpose of assisting in the financing and refinancing of public capital improvements in the City. As of May 1, 2016, the JPA Agreement was amended to provide for the withdrawal of the Successor Agency to the Agency as a member of the Authority, and to add the Temecula Community Services District and the Temecula Housing Authority as members of the Authority.
The Authority is administered by a five -member Board of Directors, which currently consists of the members of the City Council of the City. The Authority has no independent staff.
The Executive Director of the Authority is the City Manager of the City, and the Treasurer of the Authority is the City's Director of Finance. The Executive Director administers the day-to-day affairs of the Authority, and the Treasurer has custody of all money of the Authority from whatever source.
SPECIAL RISK FACTORS
The following is a description of certain risk factors affecting the District, the parcels subject to the levy of Special Taxes and the payment of and security for the 2022 Bonds. The following discussion of risks is not meant to be a complete list of the risks associated with the purchase of the 2022 Bonds and does not necessarily reflect the relative importance of the various risks. Potential investors are advised to consider the following factors along with all other information in this Official Statement in evaluating the investment quality of the 2022 Bonds. There can be no assurance that other risk factors will not become material in the future.
Payment of the Special Tax is not a Personal Obligation The owners of the parcels in the District are not personally obligated to pay the Special Tax. Rather, the Special Tax is an obligation that is secured only by a lien against the parcels on which it is levied. If the value of the taxable parcels is not sufficient to secure fully the payment of the Special Tax, the Authority has no recourse against the landowners.
No General Obligation of the Authority or the District
The Authority's obligations under the 2022 Bonds and under the Fiscal Agent Agreement are limited obligations of the Authority on behalf of the District and are payable solely from and secured solely by the Special Tax Revenues, other than up to $30,000 of the first Special Tax Revenues collected in any Fiscal Year to be used to pay Administrative Expenses, and amounts in the Special Tax Fund, the Bond Fund and the Reserve Fund. The 2022 Bonds are neither general or special obligations of the Authority nor general obligations of the District, but are limited obligations of the Authority for the District payable solely from the revenues and funds pledged therefor and under the Fiscal Agent Agreement. None of the faith and credit of the District, the Authority or the State of California or of any of their respective political subdivisions is pledged to the payment of the 2022 Bonds. -32-
Property Value
If a landowner defaults in the payment of the Special Tax, the Authority's only legal remedy is the institution of a superior court action to foreclose on the delinquent taxable parcel in an attempt to obtain funds with which to pay the Special Tax. The value of the taxable parcels in the District could be adversely affected by economic factors beyond the Authority's control, including, without limitation, (i) adverse changes in local market conditions, such as changes in the market value of real property in the vicinity of the District, the supply of or demand for competitive properties in such area, and the market value of residential property in the event of sale or foreclosure; (ii) changes in real estate tax rates and other operating expenses, governmental rules (including, without limitation, zoning laws and laws relating to endangered species and hazardous materials) and fiscal policies; and (iii) natural disasters (including, without limitation, wildfire, earthquakes and floods), which may result in uninsured losses. See "SPECIAL RISK FACTORS —Natural Disasters."
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 such sale will be sufficient to pay the delinquent Special Tax installment. Although the Act authorizes the Authority to cause such an action to be commenced and diligently pursued to completion, the Act does not specify any obligation of the Authority with regard to purchasing or otherwise acquiring any lot or parcel of property sold at the foreclosure sale in any such action if there is no other purchaser at such sale. The Authority is not obligated and does not expect to be a bidder at any such foreclosure sale. See "SECURITY FOR THE 2022 BONDS —Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure" and "SPECIAL RISK FACTORS —Proceeds of Foreclosure Sale."
Exempt Properties
Certain properties are exempt from the Special Tax in accordance with the Rate and Method. 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 property 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 (see "SPECIAL RISK FACTORS —Property Interests of Governmental Agencies; Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation"). If for any reason property within the District becomes exempt from taxation by reason of ownership by a nontaxable entity such as the federal government or another public agency, subject to the limitation of the Maximum Rate, the Special Tax will be reallocated to the remaining taxable properties within the District. This would 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 the 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 Series Prior Bonds when due and a default would occur with respect to the payment of such principal and interest.
-33-
In addition to the foregoing, the approximate 20 acres of currently undeveloped property in the District could effectively become exempt from the levy of Special Taxes. See "THE DISTRICT —Possible Inapplicability of Special Taxes to Certain Property." Parity Taxes and Special Assessments
The Special Taxes and any penalties thereon will constitute liens against the taxable parcels in the District until they are paid. Such lien is on a parity with all special taxes and special assessments levied by other agencies and is coequal to and independent of the lien for general property taxes regardless of when they are imposed upon the taxable parcel. The Special Taxes have priority over all existing and future private liens imposed on the property.
The Authority, however, has no control over the ability of other entities and districts to issue indebtedness secured by special taxes or assessments payable from all or a portion of the taxable parcels within the District subject to the levy of Special Taxes. In addition, the landowners within the District may, without the consent or knowledge of the District, petition other public agencies to issue public indebtedness secured by special taxes or assessments, and any such special taxes or assessments may have a lien on such property on a parity with the Special Taxes. The imposition of additional indebtedness could reduce the willingness and the ability of the property owners within the District to pay the Special Taxes when due. See "THE DISTRICT —Direct and Overlapping Governmental Obligations." Insufficiency of Special Taxes
In order to pay debt service on the 2022 Bonds, it is necessary that the Special Taxes levied against taxable parcels within the District be paid in a timely manner. The Authority has established the Reserve Fund in an amount equal to the Reserve Requirement to pay debt service on the 2022 Bonds to the extent Special Taxes are not paid on time and other funds are not available. See "SECURITY FOR THE 2022 BONDS —Reserve Fund" and Appendix C — "Summary of the Fiscal Agent Agreement —Reserve Fund." Under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the Authority has covenanted to maintain in the Reserve Fund an amount equal to the Reserve Requirement; subject, however, to the limitations that (i) the Authority may not levy the Special Tax in any fiscal year at a rate in excess of the Maximum Special Tax rates permitted under the Rate and Method and (ii) per the Rate and Method, under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied against any Assessor's Parcel of Residential Property for which an occupancy permit for private residential use has been issued be increased by more than ten percent as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other Assessor's Parcel within the District. See "SECURITY FOR THE 2022 BONDS —Summary of Rate and Method." Consequently, if a delinquency occurs, the Authority may be unable to replenish the Reserve Fund to the Reserve Requirement due to the limitation of the Maximum Special Tax rates. If such defaults were to continue in successive years, the Reserve Fund could be depleted and a default on the 2022 Bonds would occur if proceeds of a foreclosure sale did not yield a sufficient amount to pay the delinquent Special Taxes.
The Authority has made certain covenants regarding the institution of foreclosure proceedings to sell any property with delinquent Special Taxes in order to obtain funds to pay debt service on the 2022 Bonds. See "SECURITY FOR THE 2022 BONDS —Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure." If foreclosure proceedings were ever instituted, any mortgage or deed of trust holder could, but would not be required to, advance the amount of delinquent Special Taxes to protect its security interest.
-34-
Tax Delinquencies
Under provisions of the Act, the Special Taxes, from which funds necessary for the payment of principal of, and interest on, the 2022 Bonds are derived, are being billed to the taxable parcels within the District on the regular property tax bills sent to owners of the parcels.
Such Special Tax installments are due and payable, and bear the same penalties and interest for non-payment, 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 regular 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 installment payments in the future. See "SECURITY FOR THE 2022 BONDS — Reserve Fund" and "-Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure" for a discussion of the provisions which apply, and procedures which the District is obligated to follow under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, in the event of delinquency in the payment of Special Tax installments.
See also "THE DISTRICT —Special Tax Delinquencies" for historical Special Tax delinquency history.
Also, as noted under "SECURITY FOR THE 2022 BONDS —Summary of Rate and Method," the Act and effectively the Rate and Method provide that under no circumstances will the Special Taxes levied in any fiscal year against any Parcel used for private residential purposes be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner or owners of any other Parcel or Parcels within the District by more than ten percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that fiscal year had there never been any such delinquencies or defaults.
Bankruptcy Delays
The payment of the Special Tax and the ability of the Authority to commence a superior court action to foreclose the lien of a delinquent unpaid Special Tax, as discussed in "SECURITY FOR THE 2022 BONDS —Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure," may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws generally affecting creditors' rights or by the laws of the State of California relating to judicial foreclosure. Legal opinions to be delivered concurrently with the delivery of the 2022 Bonds (including Bond 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 or any other person claiming an interest in the property could result in a delay in superior court foreclosure proceedings and could result in the possibility of Special Tax installments not being paid in part or in full. Such a delay would increase the likelihood of a delay or default in payment of the principal of and interest on the 2022 Bonds.
Proceeds of Foreclosure Sales
Pursuant to Section 53356.1 of the Act, in the event of any delinquency in the payment of any Special Tax, the Board of Directors of the Authority, as the legislative body of the District, may order that the Special Taxes be collected by a superior court action to foreclose the lien within specified time limits. The Authority has covenanted in the Fiscal Agent Agreement that it will, under certain circumstances, commence such a foreclosure action. See "SECURITY FOR THE 2022 BONDS —Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure." -35-
No assurances can be given that a taxable parcel in the District that would be subject to a judicial foreclosure sale for delinquent Special Taxes will be sold or, if sold, that the proceeds of such sale will be sufficient to pay the delinquent Special Tax installment. Although the Act authorizes the Authority to cause such an action to be commenced and diligently pursued to completion, the Act does not specify any obligation of the Authority with regard to purchasing or otherwise acquiring any lot or parcel of property sold at the foreclosure sale in any such action if there is no other purchaser at such sale and the Authority has not in any way agreed nor does it expect to be such a purchaser.
In a foreclosure proceeding, a judgment debtor (i.e., the property owner) has 140 days from the date of service of the notice of levy in which to redeem the property to be sold and may have other redemption rights afforded by law. If a judgment debtor fails to so redeem and the property is sold, his only remedy is an action to set aside the sale, which must be brought within 90 days of the date of sale if the purchaser at the sale was the judgment creditor. If a foreclosure sale is thereby set aside, the judgment is revived and the judgment creditor is entitled to interest on the revived judgment as if the sale had not been made.
If foreclosure proceedings were ever instituted, any holder of a mortgage or deed of trust on the affected property could, but would not be required to, advance the amount of the delinquent Special Tax installment to protect its security interest.
In the event such superior court foreclosure or foreclosures are necessary, there could be a delay in principal and interest payments to the owners of the 2022 Bonds pending prosecution of the foreclosure proceedings and receipt by the District of the proceeds of the foreclosure sale, if any. Judicial foreclosure actions are subject to the normal delays associated with court cases and may be further slowed by bankruptcy actions and other factors beyond the control of the Authority, including delay due to crowded local court calendars or legal tactics and, in any event could take several years to complete. In particular, bankruptcy proceedings involving the Landowner or any other owner of a taxable parcel in the District could cause a delay, reduction or elimination in the flow of Special Tax Revenues to the Fiscal Agent. See "SPECIAL RISK FACTORS —Bankruptcy Delays."
Natural Disasters
The value of the Taxable Property 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 Taxable Property and the continued habitability and enjoyment of such private improvements. Such occurrences include, without limitation, wildfire, earthquakes and floods. One or more of such natural disasters could occur and could result in damage to improvements of varying 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 considerations preclude such repair or replacement. Under any of these circumstances, the value of the Taxable Property may well depreciate or disappear.
Wildfires
While there have been no wildfires that have affected property in the City, there have been two recent wildfires in the general area, the Tenaja fire in 2019 and the Chaparral fire in 2021. Both fires were over ten miles from the City boundary, and the District is located on the other side of the City. There have also been recent wildfires in the County of San Diego, but none have crossed into Riverside County or had any impact on property in the City. -36-
Hazardous Substances
The presence of hazardous substances on a parcel may result in a reduction in the value of a parcel. In general, the owners and operators of a parcel may be required by law to remedy conditions of the parcel relating to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances. The Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, sometimes referred to as "CERCLA" or the "Superfund Act," is the most well-known and widely applicable of these laws, but California laws with regard to hazardous substances are also stringent and similar. Under many of these laws, the owner or operator is obligated to remedy a hazardous substance condition of property whether or not the owner or operator has anything to do with creating or handling the hazardous substance. The effect, therefore, should any of the taxed parcels be affected by a hazardous substance, is to reduce the marketability and value of the parcel by the costs of remedying the condition, because the purchaser, upon becoming owner, will become obligated to remedy the condition just as is the seller.
The Authority has not independently verified, but is not aware of, the presence of any hazardous substances within the District.
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 Authority has caused notices of the Special Tax to be recorded in the Office of the Riverside County Recorder against each parcel 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 a 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 with the above requirements, or failure by a purchaser or lessor to consider or understand the nature and existence of the Special Tax, could adversely affect the willingness and ability of the purchaser or lessor to pay the Special Tax when due.
Potential Early Redemption of 2022 Bonds from Special Tax Prepayments Property owners within the District are permitted to prepay their Special Taxes in full or in part at any time. Any such prepayments will result in a mandatory redemption of 2022 Bonds on any date for which timely notice may be given under the Fiscal Agent Agreement following the receipt of the Special Tax prepayment. Any resulting redemption of 2022 Bonds that were purchased at a price greater than par could reduce the otherwise expected yield on such 2022 Bonds. The Authority cannot predict whether and if so when Special Tax prepayments will occur in the future. See "THE 2022 BONDS - Redemption - Mandatory Redemption from Special Tax Prepayments."
-37-
Property Interests of Government Agencies; Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation The Authority's ability to collect interest and penalties specified by State law and to foreclose the lien of a delinquent Special Tax payment may be limited in certain respects with regard to properties in which the Internal Revenue Service, the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae"), Freddie Mac, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") or other similar federal agencies has or obtains an interest.
General. The supremacy clause of the United States Constitution reads as follows: "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding." The foregoing is generally interpreted to mean that, unless the United States Congress has otherwise provided, if a federal governmental entity owns a parcel that is subject to Special Taxes within the District but does not pay taxes and assessments levied on the parcel (including the Special Taxes), the applicable State and local governments cannot foreclose on the parcel to collect the delinquent taxes and assessments. Moreover, unless the United States Congress has otherwise provided, if the federal government has a mortgage interest in the parcel and the Authority wishes 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 597 F.2d 174 (9th Cir. 1979), the United States Court of Appeal, Ninth Circuit (the "Ninth Circuit"), held that Fannie Mae 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 Fannie Mae constitutes an exercise of state power over property of the United States.
The Authority has not undertaken to determine whether any federal governmental entity currently has, or is likely to acquire, any interest (including a mortgage interest) in any of the parcels subject to the Special Taxes, and therefore expresses no view concerning the likelihood that the risks described above will materialize while the 2022 Bonds are outstanding.
FDIC. In the event that any financial institution making any loan which is secured by real property within the District is taken over by the FDIC, and prior thereto or thereafter the loan or loans go into default, resulting in ownership of the property by the FDIC, then the ability of the Authority to collect interest and penalties specified by State law and to foreclose the lien of delinquent unpaid Special Taxes may be limited. The FDIC's policy statement regarding the payment of state and local real property taxes (the "Policy Statement") provides that real property owned by the FDIC is subject to state and local real property taxes only if those taxes are assessed according to the property's value, and that the FDIC is immune from real property taxes assessed on any basis other than property value. According to the Policy Statement, the FDIC will pay its proper tax obligations when they become due and payable and will pay claims for delinquent property taxes as promptly as is consistent with sound business practice and the orderly administration of the institution's affairs, unless abandonment of the FDIC's interest in the property is appropriate. The FDIC will pay claims for interest on delinquent property taxes owed at the rate provided under state law, to the extent the interest payment obligation is secured by a valid lien. The FDIC will not pay any amounts in the nature of fines or penalties and will not pay nor recognize liens for such amounts. If any property taxes (including interest) on FDIC owned property are secured by a valid lien (in effect before the property became owned by the FDIC), the FDIC will pay those claims. The Policy Statement further provides that no property of the FDIC is subject to levy, attachment, garnishment, foreclosure or sale without the FDIC's consent. In addition, the FDIC will not permit a lien or -38-
security interest held by the FDIC to be eliminated by foreclosure without the FDIC's consent.
The Policy Statement states that the FDIC generally will not pay non ad valorem taxes, including special assessments, on property in which it has a fee interest unless the amount of tax is fixed at the time that the FDIC acquires its fee interest in the property, nor will it recognize the validity of any lien to the extent it purports to secure the payment of any such amounts. Special taxes imposed under the Act and a special tax formula which determines the special tax due each year, are specifically identified in the Policy Statement as being imposed each year and therefore covered by the FDIC's federal immunity. The Ninth Circuit issued a ruling on August 28, 2001 in which it determined that the FDIC, as a federal agency, is exempt from special taxes levied pursuant to the Act.
The Authority is unable to predict what effect the application of the Policy Statement would have in the event of a delinquency with respect to a parcel in which the FDIC has an interest, although prohibiting the lien of the FDIC to be foreclosed on at a judicial foreclosure sale would likely reduce the number of or eliminate the persons willing to purchase such a parcel at a foreclosure sale. Owners of the 2022 Bonds should assume that the Authority will be unable to foreclose on any parcel owned by the FDIC. Such an outcome could cause a draw on the Reserve Fund and perhaps, ultimately, a default in payment of the 2022 Bonds.
The Authority has not undertaken to determine whether the FDIC currently has, or is likely to acquire, any interest in any of the parcels in the District, and therefore expresses no view concerning the likelihood that the risks described above will materialize while the 2022 Bonds are outstanding.
Cybersecurity
The City of Temecula, the employees of which conduct the operations of the Authority including those related to the District, like many other public and private entities, relies on a large and complex technology environment to conduct its operations. As a recipient and provider of personal, private, or sensitive information, the City is subject to multiple cyber threats including, but not limited to, hacking, viruses, malware and other attacks on computer and other sensitive digital networks and systems. Entities or individuals may attempt to gain unauthorized access to the City's digital systems for the purposes of misappropriating assets or information or causing operational disruption and damage. No assurance can be given that the efforts of the City 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 administration of the District and the 2022 Bonds. The City is also reliant on other entities and service providers in connection with the administration of the 2022 Bonds, including without limitation the County tax collector for the levy and collection of Special Taxes and the Fiscal Agent. No assurance can be given that the City and these other entities will not be affected by cyber threats and attacks in a manner that may affect the 2022 Bond owners.
COVID-19 Pandemic
General. Information about the State's current status regarding the Coronavirus disease can be found at the State's website, www.covidl9.ca.gov . Also see the County's website www.rivcoph.org for up to date information regarding COVID-19 restrictions in place in the County. Reference to the State's and the County's website is included in this Official Statement for general information only and information on such website is not included in this Official Statement by reference to such website.
-39-
The Special Taxes are collected on ad valorem property tax bills delivered by the County. Property tax delinquencies may increase as a consequence of economic difficulties of property owners arising from the impact of the Coronavirus disease.
Bond Insurance
In the event of default of the payment of the scheduled principal of or interest on the Insured Bonds when all or some becomes due, the Fiscal Agent on behalf of any owner of the Insured Bonds shall have a claim under the Policy for such payments. The Municipal Bond Insurer may direct and must consent to any remedies with respect to the Insured Bonds and the Municipal Bond Insurer's consent may be required in connection with amendments to any applicable documents relating to the Insured Bonds. See Appendix A - "Summary of the Fiscal Agent Agreement - Provisions Relating to the Bond Insurance Policy." The Municipal Bond Insurer is expected to insure a majority of the 2022 Bonds and may therefore have the ability to direct the actions of the Fiscal Agent, give consents and waivers and take other actions without regard to the views of the owners of the Uninsured Bonds. As a result, Owners of Uninsured Bonds may be limited in the rights and remedies they are able to exercise in the event of a default by the Authority under the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Municipal Bond Insurer may have different business and other interests than the Owners of the Uninsured Bonds.
The Municipal Bond Insurer is also providing the Reserve Fund Insurance Policy that is available to be drawn on to pay debt service on the 2022 Bonds under certain conditions. See "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS - Reserve Fund" herein.
The long-term ratings on the Insured Bonds are dependent in part on the financial strength of the Municipal Bond Insurer and its claims paying ability. The Municipal Bond Insurer's financial strength and claims paying ability are predicated upon a number of factors which could change over time. No assurance is given that the long-term ratings of the Municipal Bond Insurer and the ratings on the Insured Bonds will not be subject to downgrade and such event could adversely affect the market price of the Insured Bonds or the marketability (liquidity) for the Insured Bonds. See "RATINGS" herein.
The obligations of the Municipal Bond Insurer under the Policy and the Reserve Fund Insurance Policy are unsecured contractual obligations and in an event of default by the Municipal Bond Insurer, the remedies available may be limited by applicable bankruptcy law or state law related to insolvency of insurance companies.
No Acceleration Provision
The 2022 Bonds and the Fiscal Agent Agreement do not contain a provision allowing for the acceleration of the 2022 Bonds in the event of a payment default or other default under the terms of the 2022 Bonds or the Fiscal Agent Agreement or in the event interest on the 2022 Bonds becomes included in gross income for federal income tax purposes.
Taxability Risk
As discussed herein under the caption "TAX MATTERS," interest on the 2022 Bonds could become includable in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation retroactive to the date the 2022 Bonds were issued, as a result of future acts or omissions of the Authority in violation of its covenants in the Fiscal Agent Agreement. There is no provision in the 2022 Bonds or the Fiscal Agent Agreement for special redemption or acceleration or for the payment -40-
of additional interest should such an event of taxability occur, and the 2022 Bonds will remain outstanding until maturity or until redeemed under one of the other redemption provisions contained in the Fiscal Agent Agreement.
In addition, as discussed under the caption "TAX MATTERS," Congress has considered in the past, and may consider in the future, legislative proposals, including some that carry retroactive effective dates, that, if enacted, would alter or eliminate the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on municipal bonds, such as the 2022 Bonds.
Prospective purchasers of the 2022 Bonds should consult their own tax advisors regarding any pending or proposed federal tax legislation. The Authority can provide no assurance that federal tax law will not change while the 2022 Bonds are outstanding or that any such changes will not adversely affect the exclusion of interest on the 2022 Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes. If the exclusion of interest on the 2022 Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes were amended or eliminated, it is likely that the market price for the 2022 Bonds would be adversely impacted.
Enforceability of Remedies
The remedies available to the Fiscal Agent and the registered owners of the 2022 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 2022 Bonds will be qualified to the extent that the enforceability of the legal documents with respect to the 2022 Bonds is subject to limitations imposed by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and by equitable remedies and proceedings generally.
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.
No Secondary Market
No representation is made concerning any secondary market for the 2022 Bonds. There can be no assurance that any secondary market will develop for the 2022 Bonds. Investors should understand the long-term and economic aspects of an investment in the 2022 Bonds and should assume that they will have to bear the economic risks of their investment to maturity.
An investment in the 2022 Bonds may be unsuitable for any investor not able to hold the 2022 Bonds to maturity.
Proposition 218
An initiative measure entitled the "Right to Vote on Taxes Act" (the "Initiative") was approved by the voters of the State at the November 5, 1996 general election. The Initiative added Article XIIIC and Article XIIID to the California Constitution. According to the "Title and Summary" of the Initiative prepared by the California Attorney General, the Initiative limits "the authority of local governments to impose taxes and property -related assessments, fees and charges." Provisions of the Initiative have been and will continue to be interpreted by the courts. The Initiative could potentially impact the Special Taxes otherwise available to the District to pay the principal of and interest on the 2022 Bonds as described below. -41-
Among other things, Section 3 of Article XIIIC states, "...the initiative power shall not be prohibited or otherwise limited in matters of reducing or repealing any local tax, assessment, fee or charge." The Act provides for a procedure, which includes notice, hearing, protest and voting requirements to alter the rate and method of apportionment of an existing special tax.
However, the Act prohibits a legislative body from adopting any resolution to reduce the rate of any special tax or terminate the levy of any special tax pledged to repay any debt incurred pursuant to the Act unless such legislative body determines that the reduction or termination of the special tax would not interfere with the timely retirement of that debt. On July 1, 1997, the Governor of the State signed a bill into law enacting Government Code Section 5854, which states that:
Section 3 of Article XIIIC of the California Constitution, as adopted at the November 5, 1996, general election, shall not be construed to mean that any owner or beneficial owner of a municipal security, purchased before or after that date, assumes the risk of, or in any way consents to, any action by initiative measure that constitutes an impairment of contractual rights protected by Section 10 of Article I of the United States Constitution.
Accordingly, although the matter is not free from doubt, it is likely that Article XIIIC has not conferred on the voters the power to repeal or reduce the Special Taxes if such reduction would interfere with the timely retirement of the 2022 Bonds.
It may be possible, however, for voters or the District or the Board of Directors of the Authority acting as the legislative body of the District to reduce the Special Taxes in a manner that does not interfere with the timely repayment of the 2022 Bonds, but which does reduce the maximum amount of Special Taxes that may be levied in any year below the existing levels.
Furthermore, no assurance can be given with respect to the future levy of the Special Taxes in amounts greater than the amount necessary for the timely retirement of the 2022 Bonds.
Therefore, no assurance can be given with respect to the levy of Special Taxes for Administrative Expenses (as defined in the Fiscal Agent Agreement). Nevertheless, the Authority has covenanted that it will not consent to, or conduct proceedings with respect to, a reduction in the maximum Special Taxes that may be levied in the District on Developed Property below an amount, for any Bond Year, equal to 110% of the aggregate of the debt service due on the 2022 Bonds in such Bond Year, plus a reasonable estimate of Administrative Expenses for each such Bond Year. However, no assurance can be given as to the enforceability of the foregoing covenant.
The interpretation and application of Article XIIIC and Article XIIID will ultimately be determined by the courts with respect to a number of the matters discussed above, and it is not possible at this time to predict with certainty the outcome of such determination or the timeliness of any remedy afforded by the courts. See "—Enforceability of Remedies." Ballot Initiatives
Articles XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution were adopted pursuant to measures qualified for the ballot pursuant to California's constitutional initiative process, and the State Legislature has in the past enacted legislation that has altered the spending limitations or established minimum funding provisions for particular activities. On March 6, 1995 in the case of Rossi v. Brown, the State Supreme Court held that an initiative can repeal a tax ordinance and prohibit the imposition of further such taxes and that the exemption from the referendum requirements does not apply to initiatives. From time to time, other initiative -42-
measures could be adopted by California voters or legislation enacted by the legislature. The adoption of any such initiative or legislation might place limitations on the ability of the State, the Authority, or local districts to increase revenues or to increase appropriations.
IRS Audit of Tax -Exempt Bond Issues
The Internal Revenue Service has initiated an expanded program for the auditing of tax- exempt bond issues, including both random and targeted audits. It is possible that the 2022 Bonds will be selected for audit by the Internal Revenue Service. It is also possible that the market value of the 2022 Bonds might be affected as a result of such an audit of the 2022 Bonds (or by an audit of similar bonds). See "TAX MATTERS."
TAX MATTERS
Federal tax law contains a number of requirements and restrictions which apply to the 2022 Bonds, including investment restrictions, periodic payments of arbitrage profits to the United States, requirements regarding the proper use of bond proceeds and the facilities financed therewith, and certain other matters. The Authority has covenanted in the Fiscal Agent Agreement to comply with all requirements that must be satisfied in order for the interest on the 2022 Bonds to be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Failure to comply with certain of such covenants could cause interest on the 2022 Bonds to become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactively to the date of issuance of the 2022 Bonds.
Subject to the Authority's compliance with the above -referenced covenants, under present law, in the opinion of Quint & Thimmig LLP, Bond Counsel, interest on the 2022 Bonds is excludable from the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, and is not included as an item of tax preference in computing the federal alternative minimum tax under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
In rendering its opinion, Bond Counsel will rely upon certifications of the Authority with respect to certain material facts within the Authority's knowledge. Bond Counsel's opinion represents its legal judgment based upon its review of the law and the facts that it deems relevant to render such opinion and is not a guarantee of a result.
Ownership of the 2022 Bonds may result in collateral federal income tax consequences to certain taxpayers. Prospective purchasers of the 2022 Bonds should consult their tax advisors as to applicability of any such collateral consequences.
The issue price (the "Issue Price") for each maturity of the 2022 Bonds is the price at which a substantial amount of such maturity of the 2022 Bonds is first sold to the public. The Issue Price of a maturity of the 2022 Bonds may be different from the price set forth, or the price corresponding to the yield set forth, on the inside cover page of this Official Statement.
If the Issue Price of a maturity of the 2022 Bonds is less than the principal amount payable at maturity, the difference between the Issue Price of each such maturity, if any, of the 2022 Bonds (the "OID 2022 Bonds") and the principal amount payable at maturity is original issue discount.
For an investor who purchases an OID 2022 Bond in the initial public offering at the Issue Price for such maturity and who holds such OID 2022 Bond to its stated maturity, subject to the condition that the Authority comply with the covenants discussed above, (a) the full -43-
amount of original issue discount with respect to such OID 2022 Bond constitutes interest which is excludable from the gross income of the owner thereof for federal income tax purposes; (b) such owner will not realize taxable capital gain or market discount upon payment of such OID 2022 Bond at its stated maturity; (c) such original issue discount is not included as an item of tax preference in computing the alternative minimum tax for individuals and corporations under the Code, but is taken into account in computing an adjustment used in determining the alternative minimum tax for certain corporations under the Code, as described above; and (d) the accretion of original issue discount in each year may result in an alternative minimum tax liability for corporations or certain other collateral federal income tax consequences in each year even though a corresponding cash payment may not be received until a later year. Owners of OID 2022 Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the state and local tax consequences of original issue discount on such OID 2022 Bonds.
Owners of 2022 Bonds who dispose of 2022 Bonds prior to the stated maturity (whether by sale, redemption or otherwise), purchase 2022 Bonds in the initial public offering, but at a price different from the Issue Price or purchase 2022 Bonds subsequent to the initial public offering should consult their own tax advisors.
If a 2022 Bond is purchased at any time for a price that is less than the 2022 Bond's stated redemption price at maturity or, in the case of an OID 2022 Bond, its Issue Price plus accreted original issue discount reduced by payments of interest included in the computation of original issue discount and previously paid (the "Revised Issue Price"), the purchaser will be treated as having purchased a 2022 Bond with market discount subject to the market discount rules of the Code (unless a statutory de minimis rule applies). Accrued market discount is treated as taxable ordinary income and is recognized when a 2022 Bond is disposed of (to the extent such accrued discount does not exceed gain realized) or, at the purchaser's election, as it accrues. Such treatment would apply to any purchaser who purchases an OID 2022 Bond for a price that is less than its Revised Issue Price even if the purchase price exceeds par. The applicability of the market discount rules may adversely affect the liquidity or secondary market price of such 2022 Bond. Purchasers should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential implications of market discount with respect to the 2022 Bonds.
An investor may purchase a 2022 Bond at a price in excess of its stated principal amount.
Such excess is characterized for federal income tax purposes as "bond premium" and must be amortized by an investor on a constant yield basis over the remaining term of the 2022 Bond in a manner that takes into account potential call dates and call prices. An investor cannot deduct amortized bond premium relating to a tax-exempt bond. The amortized bond premium is treated as a reduction in the tax-exempt interest received. As bond premium is amortized, it reduces the investor's basis in the 2022 Bond. Investors who purchase a 2022 Bond at a premium should consult their own tax advisors regarding the amortization of bond premium and its effect on the 2022 Bond's basis for purposes of computing gain or loss in connection with the sale, exchange, redemption or early retirement of the 2022 Bond.
There are or may be pending in the Congress of the United States legislative proposals, including some that carry retroactive effective dates, that, if enacted, could alter or amend the federal tax matters referred to above or affect the market value of the 2022 Bonds. It cannot be predicted whether or in what form any such proposal might be enacted or whether, if enacted, it would apply to bonds issued prior to enactment. Prospective purchasers of the 2022 Bonds should consult their own tax advisors regarding any pending or proposed federal tax legislation. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any pending or proposed federal tax legislation.
-44-
The Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") has an ongoing program of auditing tax- exempt obligations to determine whether, in the view of the Service, interest on such tax- exempt obligations is includable in the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. It cannot be predicted whether or not the Service will commence an audit of the 2022 Bonds. If an audit is commenced, under current procedures the Service may treat the Authority as a taxpayer and the 2022 Bondholders may have no right to participate in such procedure. The commencement of an audit could adversely affect the market value and liquidity of the 2022 Bonds until the audit is concluded, regardless of the ultimate outcome.
Payments of interest on, and proceeds of the sale, redemption or maturity of, tax exempt obligations, including the 2022 Bonds, are in certain cases required to be reported to the Service.
Additionally, backup withholding may apply to any such payments to any 2022 Bond owner who fails to provide an accurate Form W-9 Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, or a substantially identical form, or to any 2022 Bond owner who is notified by the Service of a failure to report any interest or dividends required to be shown on federal income tax returns. The reporting and backup withholding requirements do not affect the excludability of such interest from gross income for federal tax purposes.
In the further opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on the 2022 Bonds is exempt from California personal income taxes.
Ownership of the 2022 Bonds may result in other state and local tax consequences to certain taxpayers. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any such collateral consequences arising with respect to the 2022 Bonds. Prospective purchasers of the 2022 Bonds should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of any such state and local taxes.
The complete text of the final opinion that Bond Counsel expects to deliver upon issuance of the 2022 Bonds is set forth in Appendix D.
LEGAL MATTERS
Concurrent with the issuance of the 2022 Bonds, Quint & Thimmig LLP, Larkspur, California, Bond Counsel, will render its opinion substantially in the form set forth in Appendix D to this Official Statement. Certain legal matters with respect to the 2022 Bonds will be passed upon for the Authority and the District by Richards, Watson & Gershon, A Professional Corporation, Los Angeles, California, in their capacity as attorneys for the Authority, and for the Authority by Quint & Thimmig LLP, Larkspur, California, acting as Disclosure Counsel.
Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the Underwriter by Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, a Professional Corporation, Newport Beach, California. Payment of the fees and expenses of Bond Counsel, Disclosure Counsel and Underwriter's Counsel is contingent on the issuance of the 2022 Bonds.
From time to time Bond Counsel and Disclosure Counsel represents the Underwriter on matters unrelated to the 2022 Bonds.
RATINGS
S&P Global Ratings, ("S&P") is expected to assign to the Insured Bonds (being the Bonds maturing on September 1 in the years through and including ) its municipal bond rating of " " with the understanding that the Policy insuring the payment when due of the principal of and interest on the Insured Bonds will be issued concurrently by the Bond -45-
Insurer with the delivery of the Insured Bonds. The 2022 Bonds have received the underlying rating of " by S&P. Such ratings reflects only the views of S&P, and any desired explanation of the significance of such ratings may be obtained from S&P Global Ratings.
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 ratings will continue for any given period of time or that such ratings will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by the rating agency, if in the judgment of such rating agency, circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision or withdrawal of such ratings may have an adverse effect on the market price of the 2022 Bonds.
Except as otherwise required in the Continuing Disclosure Certificate, the City undertakes no responsibility either to bring to the attention of the owners of any Bonds any downward revision or withdrawal of any ratings obtained or to oppose any such revision or withdrawal. A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time.
NO LITIGATION
The Authority is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation challenging the validity of the 2022 Bonds, the Special Taxes securing the 2022 Bonds, or any action taken by the Authority in connection with the formation of the District, the levying of the Special Taxes or the issuance of the 2022 Bonds.
MUNICIPAL ADVISOR
The Authority has retained Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates, Inc., Irvine, California, as its Municipal Advisor (the "Municipal Advisor") in connection with the authorization and delivery of the 2022 Bonds. The Municipal Advisor has assisted in various matters relating to the planning, structuring and sale of the 2022 Bonds. The Municipal Advisor has not independently verified any of the data contained in the Official Statement or conducted a detailed investigation of the affairs of the Authority or the District to determine the accuracy or completely of this Official Statement.
UNDERWRITING
The 2022 Bonds are being purchased through negotiation by Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (the "Underwriter"). The Underwriter agreed to purchase the 2022 Bonds at a price of $ (which is equal to the par amount of the 2022 Bonds, plus (less) a net original issue premium (discount) of $ , and less an underwriter's discount of $ ). The initial public offering prices set forth on the inside cover page may be changed by the Underwriter. The Underwriter may offer and sell the 2022 Bonds to certain dealers and others at prices lower than the public offering prices set forth on the inside cover page hereof.
The Underwriter has entered into an agreement with its affiliate, Vining -Sparks IBG, LLC for the distribution of certain municipal securities offerings at the original issue price.
Pursuant to that distribution agreement, Vining -Sparks may purchase the 2022 Bonds from the Underwriter at the original issue price less a negotiated portion of the selling concession applicable to any 2022 Bonds that Vining -Sparks sells. -46-
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
The Authority has covenanted in a Continuing Disclosure Agreement for the benefit of the Owners of the 2022 Bonds to provide Annual Reports that include certain annual financial information and operating data, and to provide notices of the occurrence of certain enumerated events. The Authority has retained Webb Municipal Finance, LLC to act as the Dissemination Agent under the Continuing Disclosure Agreement. The Authority or the Dissemination Agent, on behalf of the Authority, will file the Annual Reports and notices as required by the Continuing Disclosure Agreement with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board. See Appendix E — "Form of Continuing Disclosure Agreement" for the complete text of the Authority's Continuing Disclosure Agreement. The covenants of the Authority in the Continuing Disclosure Agreement have been made in order to assist the Underwriter in complying with Rule 15c2-12(b)(5) (the "Rule") promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
A failure by the Authority to comply with the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Agreement is not an event of default under the Fiscal Agent Agreement (although the holders and beneficial owners of the 2022 Bonds do have remedies at law and in equity). However, a failure to comply with the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Agreement must be reported in accordance with the Rule and must be considered by any broker, dealer or municipal securities dealer before recommending the purchase or sale of the 2022 Bonds. Therefore, a failure by the Authority to comply with the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Agreement may adversely affect the marketability of the 2022 Bonds on the secondary market.
During the last five Fiscal Years, the Authority has complied in all material respects with its obligations under several continuing disclosure agreements entered into in connection with various community facilities district special tax bonds that it has issued. -47-

APPENDIX A
GENERAL, ECONOMIC, AND DEMOGRAPHIC
INFORMATION RELATING TO THE CITY OF TEMECULA
The following information is provided for background purposes only. The City of Temecula has no liability or responsibility whatsoever with respect to the 2022 Bonds or the Fiscal Agent Agreement.
Although reasonable efforts have been made to include up-to-date information in this Appendix A, some of the information is not current due to delays in reporting of information by various sources. It should not be assumed that the trends indicated by the following data would continue beyond the specific periods reflected herein.
Introduction
The City. The City of Temecula (the "City") is located in southwestern Riverside County, California. The City was incorporated on December 1, 1989. Temecula is bordered by the City of Murrieta to thpe north and the Pechanga Indian Reservation and San Diego County to the south. The City of Temecula forms the southwestern anchor of the Inland Empire region.
Temecula is an affluent community. The City is supported by high median and mean income levels as well as the city's favorable tourism and resort industries. The city is a prominent tourist destination, with the Temecula Valley Wine Country, Old Town Temecula, the Temecula Valley Polo Club, the Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival, the Temecula Valley International Film Festival, championship golf courses, and resort accommodations attracting a significant amount of tourists.
The City is a general law city, which operates under a council-manager form of government. The City Council consists of five members elected by district to staggered four- year terms. Each year, the City Council elects a Mayor and a Mayor Pro Tern amongst themselves to serve for one calendar year. The Mayor, who has equal legislative power with fellow members of the City Council, serves as the ceremonial leader of the city and as the presiding officer of the bi-weekly City Council meetings.
The County. Riverside County, California (the "County") is the 4th-most populous county in California and the 11th-most populous in the United States. The County name was taken from the city of Riverside, which is the county seat.
Roughly rectangle -shaped, Riverside County covers 7,208 square miles (18,670 km2) in Southern California, spanning from the Greater Los Angeles area to the Arizona border.
Geographically, the county is mostly desert in the central and eastern portions of the county and is a Mediterranean climate in the western portion of the county. Most of Joshua Tree National Park is located in the county.
The resort cities of Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta, Rancho Mirage, and Desert Hot Springs are all located in the Coachella Valley region of Riverside County. Large numbers of Los Angeles area workers have moved to the county to take advantage of its relatively affordable housing. Alongside neighboring San Bernardino County, it was one of the fastest growing regions in the state prior to the recent changes in the regional economy. In addition, smaller, but significant, numbers of people have been moving into Southwest Riverside County from the San Diego -Tijuana metropolitan area.

Household Effective Buying Income
"Effective Buying Income" is defined as personal income less personal tax and nontax payments, a number often referred to as "disposable" or "after-tax" income. Personal income is the aggregate of wages and salaries, other labor -related 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, 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), nontax payments (fines, fees, penalties, etc.) and personal contributions to social insurance. According to U.S.
A-4
government definitions, the resultant figure is commonly known as "disposable personal income."
The following table summarizes the median household effective buying income for the City, the County, the State and the nation for the past five years.

"Construction Fund" means an account specifically identified in the Indenture to hold funds that are currently available for expenditure to acquire or construct public facilities eligible to be funded by the CFD under the Act.
"Construction Inflation Index" means the annual percentage change in the Engineering News - Record Building Cost Index for the City of Los Angeles, measured as of the calendar year, which ends in the previous Fiscal Year. In the event this index ceases to be published, the Construction Inflation Index shall be another index as determined by the CFD Administrator that is reasonably comparable to the Engineering New -Record Building Cost Index for the City of Los Angeles.
"Future Facilities Costs" means the CFD Public Facilities minus public facility costs funded or available to be funded by the amount in the Construction Fund, and minus public facility costs funded by interest earnings on the Construction Fund actually earned prior to the date of prepayment.
"Outstanding Bonds" means all previously issued Bonds secured by the levy of Special Taxes, which will remain outstanding after the first interest and / or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year, excluding Bonds to be redeemed at a later date with the proceeds of prior prepayments of Maximum Special Taxes.
1. Prepayment in Full — Special Tax A
The Maximum Special Tax A obligation may only be prepaid and permanently satisfied by a Parcel of Developed Property, Approved Property for which a building permit has been issued, or Public Property and / or Property Owner's Association Property that is not Exempt Property pursuant to Section E, except that a Special Tax B may be levied on such Parcel after the prepayment has occurred. The Maximum Special Tax A obligation applicable to such Parcel may be fully prepaid and the obligation of the Parcel to pay the Special Tax A permanently satisfied as described herein; provided that a prepayment may be made only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to the Parcel at the time of prepayment. An owner of a Parcel intending to prepay the Maximum Special Tax A obligation shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay, and within 10 business days of receipt of ::
such notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to cover the cost to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the proper prepayment amount. Within 5 business days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the Prepayment Amount of such Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 60 days prior to any redemption date, unless authorized by the CFD Administrator, for any Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Tax A.
The Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as summarized below (capitalized terms as defined below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus
Redemption Premium
plus
Future Facilities Amount
plus
Defeasance Amount
plus
Administrative Fees and Expenses
less
Reserve Fund Credit
Total: equals
Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as follows:
For Parcels of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Special Tax A for the Parcel to be prepaid. For Parcels of Approved Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Special Tax A for that Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the building permit, which has already been issued for that Parcel. For Parcels of Public Property and / or Property Owner's Association Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Special Tax A for that Parcel.
2. Divide the Maximum Special Tax A computed pursuant to paragraph 1 by the total estimated Maximum Special Taxes A based on the Developed Property Special Tax A which could be charged on all expected development, less any Parcels which have been prepaid.
3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the Outstanding Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and prepaid (the "Bond Redemption Amount").
4. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to paragraph 3 by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium").
5. Compute the Future Facilities Costs.
Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 5 to compute the amount of Future Facilities Costs to be prepaid (the "Future Facilities Amount")
7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the first bond interest and / or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds.
8. Determine the Special Taxes A levied on the Parcel in the current Fiscal Year which have not yet been paid.
Compute the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the reinvestment of the Bond Redemption Amount less the Future Facilities Amount from the
date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment.
10. Add the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 and subtract the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 9 (the "Defeasance Amount").
11. Verify the administrative fees and expenses, including the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the costs of redeeming the Outstanding Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses").
12. The reserve fund credit (the "Reserve Fund Credit") shall equal the lesser of: (a) the expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any, associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.
13. The Maximum Special Tax A prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 3, 4, 6, 10 and 11, less the amount computed pursuant to paragraph 12 (the "Prepayment Amount").
14. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 3, 4, 10 and 12 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the Indenture and be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments. The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 6 shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 11 shall be retained by the CFD.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of Bonds.
In such cases, the increment above $5,000 or integral multiple thereof will be retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next prepayment of Bonds or to make debt service payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax A levy as determined under paragraph 8 (above), the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax A levy for such Parcel from the County tax rolls. With respect to any Parcel that is prepaid, the Board of Directors shall cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Special Tax A and the release of the Special Tax A lien on such Parcel, and the obligation of such Parcel to pay the Special Tax A shall cease. However, Special Tax B shall still be levied on such Parcel.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax A prepayment shall be allowed unless the amount of Maximum Special Tax A that may be levied on Taxable Property after the proposed prepayment is at least 1.10 times the maximum annual debt service on all Outstanding Bonds.
2. Prepayment in Part — Special Tax A
The Maximum Special Tax A on a Parcel of Developed Property or a Parcel of Approved Property for which a building permit has been issued may be partially prepaid in increments of $5,000. The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in Section H.1., except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated according to the following formula:
B-10
PP = ((PE —A)x F)+A
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = the partial prepayment
PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section H.1 F = the percent by which the owner of the Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the Maximum Special Tax A.
A = the Administrative Fees and Expenses calculated according to Section H.1 An owner of a Parcel intending to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax A shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner's intent to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax A, (ii) the percentage by which the Maximum Special Tax A shall be prepaid, and (iii) the company or agency that will be acting as the escrow agent, if applicable, and within 10 business days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the amount of the non- refundable deposit determined to cover the cost to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the proper amount of a partial prepayment. Within 5 business days of receipt of such non- refundable deposit, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the partial Prepayment Amount of such Parcel. Partial prepayment must be made not less than 60 days prior to any redemption date for any Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Tax A.
With respect to any Parcel that is partially prepaid, the CFD Administrator shall (i) distribute the funds remitted to it according to Paragraph 14 of Section H.1., and (ii) indicate in the records of the CFD that there has been a partial prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax A and that a portion of the Maximum Special Tax A equal to the outstanding percentage (1.00 - F) of the remaining Maximum Special Tax A shall continue to be authorized to be levied on such Parcel pursuant to Section D. However, Special Tax B shall still be levied on such Parcel.

5. Subject to the Authority's compliance with certain covenants, interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, and is not included as an item of tax preference in computing the alternative minimum tax under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Failure by the Authority to comply with certain of such covenants could cause interest on the Bonds to be includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactively 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.
Ownership of the Bonds may result in other tax consequences to certain taxpayers, and we express no opinion regarding any such collateral consequences arising with respect to the Bonds.
The rights of the owners of the Bonds and the enforceability of the Bonds, the Resolution and the Fiscal Agent Agreement may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights heretofore or hereafter enacted and also may be subject to the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with general principles of equity.
In rendering this opinion, we have relied upon certifications of the Authority and others with respect to certain material facts. Our opinion represents our legal judgment based upon such review of the law and facts that we deem relevant to render our opinion and is not a guarantee of a result. 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.
