City Council / Board of Directors
Public Hearing(s)
Meeting of: February 4, 2025
Submitted By:
Fredy Bonilla, City Engineer
Subject:
Pressure Zone Change Project - Area 7 District – Approve Notice of Exemption and Award of Construction Contract
Recommendation:
That the Honorable Board of Directors:
(1) Open and conduct a Public Hearing, receiving testimony regarding the proposed capital improvement project (CIP);
(2) Close the Public Hearing;
(3) Find the project exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301(b) of the CEQA guidelines and Approve the Notice of Exemption; and
(4) Award a construction contract to Hemet Manufacturing Company, Inc., DBA Genesis Construction in the amount of $2,011,621.00, for the Pressure Zone Change Project – Area 7 District Project No. CC25-027.
Fiscal Impact:
This action will result in a fiscal impact of $2,011,621. This project is funded by the Water Fund, No. 410. An additional appropriation is not required. There are sufficient funds available in the project budget to cover the planned expenses.
Budget Account Number Budget Amount
4104500-55080-74428 $4,144,072.42
Strategic Plan Goal:
This item aligns with “Goal E Invest in Infrastructure" in the City of Victorville Strategic Plan 2023-2026. The project involves reconfiguring the existing water system and transitioning the project area from Pressure Zone 3170 to Zone 3290 to address deficient pressure and inadequate fire flow in the Square Mile area. 3 9
6 1
Background:
The Victorville Water District’s residential and commercial customers in the northeast area of Balsam Road and Bear Valley Road have been experiencing low static water pressure and insufficient fire flow deficiencies. The water distribution system of the project area is currently connected to Pressure Zone 3170 and receives supplemental water from Zone 3290 through pressure-reducing valves located at the intersection of Balsam Road and Bear Valley Road. The static water pressure in this area typically ranges from 35 to 40 pounds per square inch (psi).
This project is part of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) outlined in the City's 2021 Water Master Plan. As part of the project, the City will remove and replace the existing pressure-reducing valve station and reconfigure the distribution pipelines to convert the area from Pressure Zone 3170 to Zone 3290, delivering water at approximately 80–90 psi. Additionally, approximately 440 individual pressure regulators will be installed on all service laterals within the project area to protect the plumbing of existing homes and commercial buildings from the increased water pressure.
Discussion:
It is a routine requirement to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) before construction starts on a capital improvement project. A Notice of Exemption, Attachment B, describes the project activities and states that the project is categorically exempt under CEQA section 15301b because the project involves minor alteration of the existing public utility facilities with no expansion of capacity.
This project was bid using formal bidding procedures in accordance with Victorville Municipal Code §2.28.210 and the California Public Contract Code. Formal bidding procedures are used for public works contracts with an estimated cost in excess of five hundred thousand dollars. On November 13, 2024, a Notice Inviting Bids was e-mailed to potential bidders, posted on the City of Victorville website; in addition, it was also published in newspaper(s) of general circulation within the City. On December 19, 2024, five (5) bids were received.
The bid results are shown below:
Company Bid Amount
Hemet, dba Genesis Construction $2,011,621.00
TK Construction $2,600,230.00
Big Ben Construction $2,925,821.00
High Desert Underground Inc. $2,973,951.50
Mike Bubalo Construction $3,447,250.00
The Engineer’s estimate for this project ranged from $1,800,000 to $2,000,000 based on previous CIP projects with similar scopes. The Engineer’s estimate was low due to significant cost increases in construction materials and labor that has occurred in the last few years.
3 9
6 1
After a review of the bid proposals, it was determined that the lowest responsive, responsible bidder is Hemet Manufacturing Company, Inc., DBA Genesis Construction with a bid amount of $2,011,621. Therefore, staff recommends awarding a construction contract to Hemet Manufacturing Company, Inc., DBA Genesis Construction. Please refer to Attachment C, the construction contract, which includes the contract bid items and total contract amount.
Staff recommends that the Honorable Board of Directors approve the Notice of Exemption and award a construction contract to Hemet Manufacturing Company, Inc., DBA Genesis Construction, in the amount of $2,011,621.00, for Pressure Zone Change Project – Area 7 District.
Staff is available for any questions the Board may have.

City Council / Commissioners / Successor Agency
Public Hearing(s)

Submitted By:
Keith C. Metzler, City Manager / Executive Director
Tony Camargo, Deputy City Manager

Carmen Cun, Finance Director / City Treasurer
Subject:
Consideration of Southern California Logistics Airport Authority Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds and Other Related Actions
Recommendation:
That the Honorable City Council, the Southern California Logistics Airport Authority (“SCLAA”) Commission, and the City Council sitting as the Governing Board of the Successor Agency to the Victorville Redevelopment Agency (“Successor Agency”):
(1) Hold a public hearing regarding the proposed issuance by SCLAA of tax allocation refunding bonds in an amount of not to exceed $105 million to refinance certain public capital improvements;
(2) Approve Resolution No. 25-009 approving the issuance and sale of not to exceed $105 million aggregate principal amount of Southern California Logistics Airport Authority Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, pledging the City’s share of tax increment revenues thereto, and making certain findings in connection therewith; (3) Adopt Resolution No. SCLAA-25-002 authorizing the issuance and sale of tax allocation refunding bonds in an amount of not to exceed $105 million, and approving the form of an Indenture of Trust, a Form of Escrow Agreement, a Form of Bond Purchase Agreement, and authorizing certain other actions in connection therewith; and
(4) Adopt Resolution No. R-SA-25-001 approving, ratifying, and consenting to the addition of the Victorville Water District as a member of the Southern California Logistics Airport Authority.
Fiscal Impact:
Raymond James & Associates, Inc., the Underwriter, has provided estimates regarding certain financial aspects of the proposed refinancing of certain series of SCLAA tax 3 9
7 3
allocation bonds. These estimates have been reviewed by Urban Futures, Inc., the Municipal Advisor, and will be provided to the Victor Valley Economic Development Authority (“VVEDA”) and San Bernardino Countywide Oversight Board (“Oversight Board”). As reflected in the Municipal Advisor Report (Attachment C), based on market conditions as of January 6, 2025, it is anticipated that issuance of the 2025 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds (“2025 Bonds”) will comply with the Savings Parameters (as defined in the Municipal Advisor Report) and will generate approximately $24.1 million in debt service savings over the life of the indebtedness and $6.7 million in net present value savings, or 6.8% of refunded par. Final savings achieved will not be determined until the sale of the 2025 Bonds. Since debt service payments are expected to be reduced, various taxing entities are anticipated to receive additional revenues as residual Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund moneys. The City’s General Fund residual share of the total estimated debt service savings is approximately $2.8 million through 2043.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 5852.1, the following good faith estimates* must be disclosed at a public meeting before the Commission’s authorization of the 2025 Bonds:
Information to be disclosed per Government Code Section 5852.1: 2025 Bonds
Principal amount of the 2025 Bonds $86,420,000
True interest cost of the 2025 Bonds (the rate necessary to discount the amounts payable on the respective principal and interest payment dates to the purchase price received for the new issue of the Bonds)
4.04%
Finance charge of the 2025 Bonds (the sum of fees and charges paid to third parties, including bond insurer and surety provider):
$3,425,698
Amount of proceeds received by the public body from the 2025 Bonds, less the finance charge of the 2025 Bonds and any reserves or capitalized interest paid or funded with proceeds of the 2025 Bonds
$89,827,381
The total payment amount (the sum total of all debt service payments on the 2025 Bonds, plus the finance charge of the 2025 Bonds not paid from bond proceeds)
$130,037,206
* These are good faith estimates only and are based on market conditions as of January 6, 2025.
Final results will likely differ based on market conditions as of the actual sale date and other factors. These good faith estimates assume successful procurement of a surety policy for the Debt Service Reserve Fund and other key assumptions. The not to exceed amount of $105 million in the Resolutions provides cushion in case these key assumptions are not realized. Only the amount of 3 9
7 3
principal required to refund the Refunded Bonds and to pay for the finance charge of the 2025 Bonds will be issued.
Strategic Plan Goal:
The City of Victorville Strategic Plan 2023-2026 identifies multi-year strategic goals and various strategies to work toward achieving these goals. Goal A, Financial Sustainability, aims to foster fiscal health through disciplined long-term planning, cost control, increased revenues, and cost recovery. The 2025 Bonds are expected to yield significant debt service savings which is anticipated to result in higher future property tax distributions to the taxing entities, including the City.
Background:
The Victor Valley Economic Development Authority (“VVEDA”) is a joint exercise of powers authority formed by the County of San Bernardino, City of Hesperia, City of Victorville, City of Adelanto, and Town of Apple Valley (the “VVEDA Members”). VVEDA was authorized by Health and Safety Code Section 33492.40 to exercise the powers of a redevelopment agency with respect to the VVEDA Project Area. VVEDA is also authorized to issue refunding tax allocation bonds and other indebtedness for economic savings within the parameters set forth in Section 34177.5(a)(1) of the California Health and Safety Code. The VVEDA Project Area includes the former George Air Force Base parcels (“SCLA parcels”), which now make up the Southern California Logistics Airport (the “Airport”), and parcels “in proximity” to the SCLA parcels. These VVEDA Project Area parcels that are “in proximity” (i.e., exclusive of the SCLA parcels) are located within the various VVEDA Member jurisdictional boundaries (“VVEDA Member Agency Parcels”).
SCLAA is a joint powers authority authorized to exercise its powers, including the power to issue bonds and incur other indebtedness for any of its corporate purposes. In accordance with the terms of the VVEDA JPA, VVEDA delegated its decision-making authority with respect to the Airport to SCLAA, including the authority to issue bonds secured by tax increment revenues to finance and refinance redevelopment activities at the Airport. SCLAA was originally formed by agreement of the City and the former Victorville Redevelopment Agency; when the Victorville Redevelopment Agency was dissolved by statute in February 2012, the City and the Victorville Water District entered into an agreement to add the Victorville Water District as a member of SCLAA (the “SCLAA JPA Amendment”). Pursuant to the terms of the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement creating SCLAA, the Successor Agency to the Victorville Redevelopment Agency now proposes to approve, ratify and consent to the SCLAA JPA Amendment by adoption of Successor Agency Resolution No. R-SA-25-001 (Attachment G).
SCLAA previously issued the following series of tax allocation bonds with respect to the Southern California Logistics Airport Project: (i) Tax Allocation Parity Bonds, Series 2005A; (ii) Housing Set-Aside Revenue Bonds, Refunding Series 2006; (iii) Tax Allocation Revenue Parity Bonds, Refunding Series 2006; (iv) Subordinate Tax Allocation Revenue Bonds, Series 2007; and (v) Subordinate Tax Allocation Revenue Bonds, Series 2008A (collectively, the “Refunded Bonds”). SCLAA will issue the 2025 Bonds to refinance the Refunded Bonds. The financing goal is to maximize economic savings by reducing total 3 9
7 3
debt service, and the savings generated from this refunding are anticipated to result in higher future property tax distributions to the taxing entities, including the City.
The following SCLAA prior obligations (the “Senior Bonds”) that have make-whole calls will remain outstanding and will have a senior lien on tax increment revenues generated in the VVEDA Project Area (after payment of County administrative costs, pass-through obligations, and certain other obligations of VVEDA): (i) Tax Allocation Revenue Parity Bonds, Taxable Series 2006; (ii) Tax Allocation Revenue Parity Bonds, Taxable Forward Series 2006; (iii) Taxable Subordinate Tax Allocation Revenue Bonds, Series 2006; (iv) Taxable Housing Set-Aside Revenue Parity Bonds, Series 2007; (v) Subordinate Tax Allocation Revenue Bonds Series 2008A Capital Appreciation Bonds.
The 2025 Bonds will be secured by tax increment revenues generated in the VVEDA Project Area on a subordinate basis to the Senior Bonds. To the extent required to pay its tax allocation bond debt service, SCLAA is entitled to 100% of the tax increment from the SCLA parcels. Tax increment generated within the VVEDA Member Agency Parcels are shared between SCLAA and the applicable Member Agencies (i.e., tax increment generated from VVEDA Member Agency Parcels located within the City of Victorville is shared between SCLAA and Victorville—same is true for unincorporated County territory, Town of Apple Valley, City of Hesperia, and City of Adelanto). The City of Victorville has pledged its share of tax increment revenues generated in the VVEDA Project Area within the City’s boundaries to the SCLAA Refunded Bonds and Senior Bonds; and, as part of the City’s Resolution No. 25-009 (Attachment A), will continue to pledge its share of tax increment revenues to the 2025 Bonds, on a subordinate basis to the Senior Bonds.
Public Hearing:
The 2025 Bonds are proposed to be issued by SCLAA pursuant to the Marks-Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985 (the “Marks-Roos Act”). Prior to the SCLAA Commission’s action to authorize issuance of the 2025 Bonds, the Marks-Roos Act requires the City to (1) hold a public hearing regarding the proposed issuance of the 2025 Bonds to consider public testimony concerning the sale and delivery of the 2025 Bonds; and (2) adopt a Resolution approving the issuance of the 2025 Bonds and finding that issuance of the 2025 Bonds will have a significant public benefit. The City is anticipated to hold the required public hearing and consider the required resolution this evening, prior to SCLAA’s consideration of its Resolution.
Discussion:
It is anticipated that SCLAA will issue approximately $86.42 million 2025 Bonds to refinance the Refunded Bonds and to pay for Costs of Issuance, including bond insurance and a surety policy for the Debt Service Reserve Fund. Based on the current interest rate environment and other reasonable assumptions, SCLAA is able to achieve savings by refunding the Refunded Bonds. Issuing the 2025 Bonds to refinance the outstanding principal of the Refunded Bonds is expected to generate estimated gross debt service savings of approximately $24.1 million, and net present value savings of approximately $6.7 million (or 6.8% of the refunded bond amount). The City’s 3 9
7 3
General Fund residual share of the total estimated debt service savings is approximately $2.8 million through 2043.
The 2025 Bonds will be issued with fixed interest rates and will have a final maturity of December 1, 2043, amortizing in the same years as the Refunded Bonds. The true interest cost for the 2025 Bonds is estimated to be approximately 4.04% in the current market.
The City Resolution No. 25-009 approves the issuance of the 2025 Bonds, confirms that the City will continue to pledge its share of tax increment revenues generated in the VVEDA Project Area to the 2025 Bonds, on a subordinate basis to the Senior Bonds, and directs VVEDA to transfer the City’s share of tax increment revenues directly to SCLAA to the extent needed to pay debt service on the Senior Bonds, to pay debt service on the 2025 Bonds, and to make any other payments required in the indentures. The City Resolution No. 25-009 also makes a finding that there are significant public benefits to the citizens of the City through the issuance of the 2025 Bonds as it will result in demonstrable savings in effective interest rate to the City and provide a more efficient delivery of public services to the community.
The SCLAA Resolution No. SCLAA-25-002 (Attachment B) approves the issuance of the 2025 Bonds, adopts the City’s Debt Management Policy (Council Policy CP-18-06, last revised February 19, 2019), and appoints and retains the financing team, which includes Urban Futures, Inc. as Municipal Advisor; Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth as Bond and Disclosure Counsel; The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee and Escrow Agent; and Raymond James & Associates, Inc., as Underwriter. The City has also retained the services of Harris and Associates to prepare an independent forecast in the form of a Fiscal Consultant’s Report of projected tax revenues that would be available to the SCLAA for the 2025 Bonds. A preliminary estimate of costs of issuance, including underwriter’s discount but excluding bond insurance and reserve policy premiums, is approximately $696,500. Other than the rating agency’s fee and the Fiscal Consultant’s fee, costs of issuance are contingent on the bond sale and would be paid from 2025 Bond proceeds. Further, the debt service savings analysis takes the estimated costs of issuance into account. The SCLAA Resolution No. SCLAA-25-002 also approves all documents and actions needed to authorize the issuance and sale of the 2025 Bonds, including the following substantially final form financing documents together with any changes or additions deemed advisable and approved by an Authorized Officer:
•Indenture of Trust (Attachment D) between SCLAA and the Trustee, which sets forth the material terms and provisions relating to the 2025 Bonds and whereby the Trustee agrees to certain rights and duties related to the 2025 Bonds. •Escrow Agreement (Attachment E) between SCLAA and the Escrow Agent containing terms by which the Escrow Agent will hold the 2025 Bond proceeds on behalf of the owners of the Refunded Bonds to pay and discharge these Bonds on the redemption date and give proper notice to the owners. 3 9
7 3
•Bond Purchase Agreement (Attachment F) between SCLAA and the Underwriter, pursuant to terms and provisions of which the 2025 Bonds will be sold with a negotiated method of sale, such terms and provisions including an underwriter’s discount not to exceed 0.45% of the principal amount of the 2025 Bonds.
Additionally, the financing team is investigating whether the cash-funded debt service reserve funds of certain outstanding Senior Bonds can be replaced with surety policies, applying the released cash reserve funds to defease Refunded Bonds, thus lowering the principal amount of the 2025 Bonds and increasing the overall cash flow savings. The SCLAA Resolution No. SCLAA-25-002 authorizes Authorized Officers to execute this option should it be available and advisable, in consultation with Bond Counsel and the Municipal Advisor.
If the City Council approves its Resolution No. 25-009, and the SCLAA Commission approves its Resolution No. SCLAA-25-002, staff will return to the SCLAA Commission for approval of the Preliminary Official Statement and Continuing Disclosure Certificate related to the 2025 Bonds. The VVEDA Commission will also consider approving the proposed financing at its meeting on February 13, 2025. Additionally, the Countywide Oversight Board will consider approving the proposed financing at its meeting on March 6, 2025. If the Oversight Board adopts its Resolution and the other materials submitted, then the Oversight Board action will be subject to approval by the California Department of Finance (“DOF”). DOF has up to 65 days to review the Oversight Board’s action which process is expected to conclude in May, after which the 2025 Bonds will be sold and issued.
If the Successor Agency approves its Resolution No. R-SA-25-001, the Successor Agency will request approval of this item from the Oversight Board as well. If approved by the Oversight Board, DOF has up to 40 days to review the Oversight Board’s resolution relating to the SCLAA JPA Amendment.

SAVINGS MEMORANDUM
TO: Southern California Logistics Airport Authority
FROM: Urban Futures, Inc.
Wing-See Fox, Managing Director
DATE: January 6, 2025
RE: Independent Municipal Advisor’s Report: Debt Service Savings Analysis for the Southern California Logistics Airport Authority Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, Series 2025A _____________________________________________________________________________________ Background
The Victor Valley Economic Development Authority (“VVEDA”) is a joint exercise of powers authority formed by the County of San Bernardino, City of Hesperia, City of Victorville, City of Adelanto, and Town of Apple Valley (the “VVEDA Members”). VVEDA was authorized by Health and Safety Code Section 33492.40 to exercise the powers of a redevelopment agency with respect to the VVEDA Project Area (which includes the former George Air Force Base, now referred to as the Southern California Logistics Airport (the “Airport”), and land immediately adjacent to the Airport or in proximity thereto located within the jurisdictional boundaries of the VVEDA Members). VVEDA is also authorized to issue refunding tax allocation bonds and other indebtedness for economic savings within the parameters set forth in Section 34177.5(a)(1) of the California Health and Safety Code (the “Savings Parameters”).
The Southern California Logistics Airport Authority (“SCLAA”) is a joint powers authority authorized to exercise its powers, including the power to issue bonds and incur other indebtedness for any of its corporate purposes. In accordance with the terms of the VVEDA JPA, VVEDA delegated its decision- making authority with respect to the Airport to SCLAA, including the authority to issue bonds secured by tax increment revenues to finance and refinance redevelopment activities at the Airport.
Urban Futures, Inc., has been retained by SCLAA to serve as its independent municipal advisor to determine compliance with the Savings Parameters for purposes of the incurrence by SCLAA of its Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, Series 2025A (the “2025 Bonds”). SCLAA will issue the 2025 Bonds to refund the following obligations of SCLAA with respect to the Southern California Logistics Airport Project: (i) Tax Allocation Parity Bonds, Series 2005A (the “2005A Bonds”); (ii) Housing Set-Aside Revenue Bonds, Refunding Series 2006 (the “2006 Housing Set-Aside Bonds”); (iii) Tax Allocation Revenue Parity Bonds, Refunding Series 2006 (the “2006 Parity Bonds”); (iv) Subordinate Tax Allocation Revenue Bonds, Series 2007 (the “2007 Subordinate Bonds”); and (v) Subordinate Tax Allocation Revenue Bonds, Series 2008A (the “2008A Subordinate Bonds”) (collectively, the “Refunded Bonds”).
SCLAA has selected Raymond James & Associates, Inc., (the “Underwriter”) to structure and negotiate the refunding of the Refunded Bonds. The financing goal is to maximize economic savings by reducing total debt service, and the savings generated from this refunding are anticipated to result in higher future property tax distributions to the taxing entities. This report may be used in presentations to the SCLAA Commission, the Victorville City Council, the VVEDA Commission, and the Countywide Oversight Board, but actual savings will be final only after the pricing of the 2025 Bonds. 1 Plan of Refunding
Based on market conditions as of January 6, 2025, the Underwriter estimates that the refunding of the Refunded Bonds will achieve combined debt service savings of approximately $24.1 million and Net Present Value savings of approximately $6.7 million, or 6.78% of refunded par. The Underwriter’s estimates include the following key assumptions:
(i) the following SCLAA prior bonds (the “Senior Bonds”) that have make-whole calls will remain outstanding and will have a senior lien on Pledged Tax Revenues:
a. Tax Allocation Revenue Parity Bonds, Taxable Series 2006 (the “2006 Taxable Parity Bonds”)
b. Tax Allocation Revenue Parity Bonds, Taxable Forward Series 2006 (the “2006 Taxable Forward Bonds”)
c. Taxable Subordinate Tax Allocation Revenue Bonds, Series 2006 (the “2006 Taxable Subordinate Bonds”)
d. Taxable Housing Set-Aside Revenue Parity Bonds, Series 2007 (the “2007 Taxable Housing Set-Aside Bonds”
e. Subordinate Tax Allocation Revenue Bonds Series 2008A Capital Appreciation Bonds (the “2008A Subordinate CABS”)
(ii) a public market negotiated sale of the 2025 Bonds
(iii)
(iv)
(v)
an underlying rating of “BBB“ is assigned by S&P to the 2025 Bonds bond insurance and reserve fund surety policy
2025 Bonds are structured to achieve proportional savings by refunded series SCLAA may select an alternative structure for the 2025 Bonds and other assumptions may be adjusted, which would change the refunding results.

Based on the 2025 Bonds’ proposed structure and the estimated debt service savings according to numbers prepared by the Underwriter, Urban Futures, Inc., concludes that the 2025 Bonds comply with 4 the Savings Parameters and other requirements of State Law as described below.
A. Total debt service (principal and interest) on the refunding bonds is less than total debt service on the refunded bonds (sec. 34177.5(a)(1)(A)): Section 34177.5(a)(1)(A) requires that the total interest cost to maturity on the refunding bonds or other indebtedness plus the principal amount of the refunding bonds or other indebtedness shall not exceed the total remaining interest cost to maturity on the bonds or other indebtedness to be refunded plus the remaining principal of the bonds or other indebtedness to be refunded. The refunding generates an estimated total debt service savings of approximately $24.1 million calculated as follows: (i) total debt service on the Refunded Bonds, minus (ii) total debt service on the 2025 Bonds. This cash flow savings satisfies the Savings Parameters in Section 34177.5(a)(1). Net Present Value savings are estimated to be approximately $6.7 million, or 6.78% of refunded par, which is above the 3% to 5% minimum savings threshold in the City’s Debt Management Policy.
B. Refunding bonds principal shall be used only for purposes of refunding outstanding obligations (sec. 34177.5(a) (1)(B)): Section 34177.5(a)(1)(B) requires that the principal amount of the refunding bonds or other indebtedness shall not exceed the amount required to defease the refunded bonds or other indebtedness, to establish customary debt service reserves, and to pay related costs of issuance. The anticipated sources and uses of funds for the 2025 Bonds confirm that all proceeds of the 2025 Bonds will be used only to defease the Refunded Bonds, to establish a debt service reserve fund, and to pay related costs of issuance. Proceeds of the 2025 Bonds will not be used for any other purposes, including new- money purposes.
C. SCLAA shall make diligent efforts to ensure lowest long-term cost financing is obtained, to structure refunding that does not provide for any bullets or spikes or variable rates, and shall hire an independent financial advisor (sec. 34177.5(h)): SCLAA has retained Urban Futures, Inc., an independent financial advisor registered with the SEC and MSRB, to monitor the pricing of the 2025 Bonds. In order to achieve the lowest long-term cost of financing, the financing team will explore replacing cash-funded debt service reserve funds of certain outstanding Senior Bonds with surety policies, and applying the released cash reserve funds to defease Refunded Bonds, thus lowering the principal amount of the 2025 Bonds and increasing the overall cash flow savings. SCLAA will also work with the municipal advisor to maximize the current refunding escrow for the Refunded Bonds. In accordance with Section 34177.5(h), the 2025 Bonds will not be structured to include any bullet principal maturities, debt service spikes or variable rate debt.
Issuance of the 2025 Bonds by SCLAA for the purpose of refunding the Refunded Bonds is recommended to achieve debt service savings.

28 4866-1778-8159v7/022726-0006
hereby established in the Debt Service Fund, and in the following order of priority (provided further that, if on the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the date the Authority is required to transfer amounts on deposit in the Special Fund to the Trustee there are not amounts on deposit therein sufficient to make the following deposits, taking into account amounts required to be transferred with respect to Bonds other than the 2025 Bonds, the Authority shall immediately notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of any such insufficiency and the Trustee shall deposit amounts received from the Authority into sub-accounts of the Interest Account and/or Principal Account, as applicable, on a pro-rata basis):
(a) Interest Account. On or before the fifth (5th) Business Day preceding each Interest Payment Date, commencing with the Interest Payment Date of [December] 1, 2025 (with respect to the 2025 Bonds) , the Authority shall withdraw from the Special Fund and transfer to the Trustee, for deposit in the Interest Account an amount which when added to the amount contained in the Interest Account on that date, will be equal to the aggregate amount of the interest becoming d ue and payable on the Outstanding Bonds on suc h Interest Payment Date. No such transfer and deposit need be made to the Interest Account if the amount contained therein is at least equal to the interest to become due on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date upon all of the Outstanding Bonds. All moneys in the Interest Account shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of paying the interest on the Bonds as it shall become due and payable. The Trustee shall establish sub - accounts within the Interest Account for the payment of interest due on the 2025 Bonds and other Bonds, provided that all such Bonds shall be paid on a parity basis. (b) Principal Account . On or before the fifth (5th) Business Day preceding December 1 in each year beginning December 1, 2025 (with respect to the 2025 Bonds), the Authority shall withdraw from the Special Fund and transfer to the Trustee for deposit in the Principal Account an amount which, when added to the amount then contained in the Principal Account, will be equal to the principal becoming due and payable on the Outstan ding Bonds, including pursuant to mandatory sinking account redemption, on the next December 1.

The Trustee shall establish sub-accounts within the Principal Account for the payment of principal due on the 2025 Bonds and other Bonds, provided that all such Bonds shall be paid on a parity basis. (c) Reserve Account . There is hereby established in the Debt Service Fund a separate account known as the “Reserve Account” solely as security for payments of 2025 Bonds payable by the Authority pursuant to this Section 4.03 which shall in each case be held by the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Owners of the 2025 Bonds , provided separate subaccounts may be established in the Reserve Account as separate security for any future issue of Parity Debt. The Reserve Requirement for the 2025 Bonds (calculated on a standalone basis) will be satisfied by the delivery of the 2025 Reserve Policy by the 2025 Insurer on the Closing Date with respect to the 2025 Bonds. The Authority will have no obligation to replace the 2025 Reserve Policy or to fund the Reserve Account with cash if, at any time that the 2025 Bonds are Outstanding, any rating assigned to the 2025 Insurer is downgraded, suspended or withdrawn or amounts are not available under the 2025 Reserve Policy, other than in connection with a draw on the 2025 Reserve Policy.
Except as provided in the preceding paragraph and as may be provided in a Supplemental Indenture or Parity Debt Instrument, in the event that the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account (or the applicable subaccount) becomes less than the Reserve Requirement applicable
29 4866-1778-8159v7/022726-0006
thereto (as determined by the Trustee as provided in Section 6.7), the Trustee shall promptly notify the Authority of such fact. Upon receipt of any such notice and as promptly as is permitted by the Law, the Authority shall transfer to the Trustee an amount sufficient to maintain the Reserve Requirement on deposit in the applicable Reserve Account.
[The amounts available under the 2025 Reserve Policy shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of making transfers to the Interest Account and the Principal Account in such order of priority, in the event of any deficiency at any time in any of such accounts with respect to the payment of debt service on the 2025 Bonds.]
Moneys, if any, on deposit in the Reserve Account (or the applicable subaccount therein) shall be withdrawn and applied by the Trustee for the final payment or payments of principal of and interest on the 2025 Bonds (or the applicable account therein, respectively). The Trustee shall compute the Reserve Requirement annually on or before December 1.
In no event shall amounts in the Reserve Account (exclusive of subaccounts therein, which shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Supplemental Indenture providing for Parity Debt) be applied to payment of any Bonds or Parity Debt other than 2025 Bonds.
Except as provided above, the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account and the subaccounts therein shall be maintained at the Reserve Requirement applicable thereto at all times prior to the payment of the applicable series of Bonds in full. If there shall then not be sufficient Pledged Tax Revenues to transfer an amount sufficient to maintain the applicable Reserve Requirement on deposit in the Reserve Account (or the applicable subaccount), the Authority shall be obligated to continue making transfers as Pledged Tax Revenues become available until there is an amount sufficient to maintain the applicable Reserve Requirement on deposit in the Reserve Account (or the applicable subaccount). No such transfer and deposit need be made to the Reserve Account or the applicable subaccount) so long as there shall be on deposit therein a sum at least equal to the applicable Reserve Requirement. All money in the Reserve Account shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of making transfers pur suant to this Indenture to the Interest Account and the Principal Account, in the event of any deficiency at any time in any of such accounts or for the retirement of all the 2025 Bonds (and other Bonds secured by the Reserve Account or subaccounts therein to the extent provided in a Supplemental Indenture or Parity Debt Instrument) then Outstanding, except that so long as the Authority is not in default hereunder or under any Parity Debt Instrument, any amount in the Reserve Account or subaccount thereof in excess of the applicable Reserve Requirement shall be withdrawn from the Reserve Account or applicable subaccount thereof semiannually on or before two (2) Business Days preceding each June 1 and December 1 by the Trustee and deposited in the Interest Account or be applied pro rata in accordance with this Indenture and any applicable provision of a Parity Debt Instrument. On the Business Day preceding the final Interest Payment Date for a series of Bonds (or multiple series of Bonds issued under this Indenture or a single Parity Debt Instrument), all amounts held in the applicable subaccount of the Reserve Account shall be withdrawn from such subaccount and shall be transferred to the applicable subaccounts of the Interest Account and the Principal Account, in such order, for such series of Bonds, to the extent required to make the deposits then required to be made pursuant to this Section 4.03, or shall be applied pro rata as required by any Parity Debt Instrument, as applicable.
The Authority shall have the right at any time to direct the Trustee to release funds from the Reserve Account or subaccount thereof, in whole or in part, by tendering to the Trustee: (i) a Qualified Reserve Account Credit Instrument, and (ii) an opinion of Bond Counsel stating that neither
30 4866-1778-8159v7/022726-0006
the release of such funds nor the acceptance of such Qualified Reserve Account Credit Instrument will cause interest on the Bonds or any Parity Debt the interest on which is excluded from gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes to become includable in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation. Upon tender of such items to the Trustee, and upon delivery by the Authority to the Trustee of written calculation of the amount permitted to be released from the Reserve Account (upon which calculation the Trustee may conclusively rely), the Trustee shall transfer such funds from the Reserve Account or subaccount thereof to the Authority to be applied in accordance with the Law and the Dissolution Act. The Trustee shall comply with all documentation relating to a Qualified Reserve Account Credit Instrument as shall be required to maintain such Qualified Reserve Account Credit Instrument in full force and effect and as shall be required to receive paym ents thereunder in the event and to the extent required to make any payment when and a s required under this paragraph (d). Upon the expiration of any Qualified Reserve Account Credit Instrument, the Authority shall either (i) replace such Qualified Reserve Account Credit Instrument with a new Qualified Reserve Account Credit Instrument, or (ii) deposit or cause to be deposited with the Trustee an amount of funds equal to the applicable Reserve Requirement, to be derived from the first legally available Pledged Tax Revenues. If the applicable Reserve Requirement is being maintained partially in cash and partially with a Qualified Reserve Account Credit Instrument, the cash shall be first used to meet any deficiency which may exist from time to time in the Interest Account or the Principal Account for the purpose of making payments required pursuant to Sections 4.03(a) or 4.03(b) of this Indenture. If the Reserve Requirement is being maintained with two or more Qualified Reserve Account Credit Instruments, any draw to meet a deficiency which may exist from time to time in the Interest Account or the Principal Account for the purpose of making payments required pursuant to Sections 4.03(a) or 4.03(b) of this Indenture shall be pro-rata with respect to each such instrument.
The Reserve Account shall be maintained in the form of one or more separate sub - accounts which are established for the purpose of holding the proceeds of separate issues of any Parity Debt in conformity with applicable provisions of the Code to the extent directed by the Authority in writing to the Trustee. Separate series of Parity Debt may be secured by common sub-accounts of the Reserve Account as provided in one or more Supplemental Indentures and/or Parity Debt Instruments from time to time.
Section 4.04 Rebate Fund. The Trustee shall establish a separate fund for the 2025 Bonds designated the “Rebate Fund.” Absent an opinion of Bond Counsel that the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the 2025 Bonds will not be adversely affected, the Authority shall cause to be deposited in the Rebate Fund such amounts as are required to be deposited therein pursuant to this Section and the Tax Certificate. All money at any time deposited in the Rebate Fund shall be held by the Tr ustee in trust, for payment to the United States Treasury. All amounts on deposit in the Rebate Fund for the 2025 Bonds shall be governed by this Section and the Tax Certificate, unless the Authority obtains and delivers to the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel that the exclusion from gross income of interest on the 2025 Bonds will not be adversely affected for federal income tax purposes if such requirements are not satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Tax Certi ficate, the Trustee shall be deemed conclusively to have complied with the provisions of this Section and the Tax Certificate if the Trustee follows the directions of the Authority, and the Trustee shall have no independent responsibility to or liability resulting from failure of the Trustee to enforce compliance by the Authority with the Tax Certificate or the provisions of this Section.

(c) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by it and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture, except for actions arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction . Where the Trustee is given the permissive right to do things enumerated in this Indenture, such right shall not be construed as a mandatory duty. (d) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default hereunder unless and until a responsible officer shall have actual knowledge thereof, or shall have received written notice thereof from the Authority at its Principal Corporate Trust Office. In the absence of such actual knowledge or notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee may rely conclusively on the Authority’s certificates to establish the Authority’s compliance with its financial covenants hereunder, including, without limitation, its covenants regarding the deposit of Pledged Tax Revenues into the Special Fund and the investment and application of moneys on deposit in the Special Fund (other than its covenants to transfer such moneys to the Trustee when due hereunder). (e) The Trustee shall have no liability or obligation to the Bondowners with respect to the payment of debt service on the Bonds by the Authority or with respect to the observance or performance by the Authority of the other conditions, covenants and terms contained in this Indenture, or with respect to the investment of any moneys in any fund or account established, held or maintained by the Authority pursuant to this Indenture or otherwise. (f) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers.

If the Authority elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee ’s understanding of
42 4866-1778-8159v7/022726-0006
such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Authority understands and agrees that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Authority shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Authority and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Authority. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee ’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Authority agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Trustee and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Authority; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Trustee immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures. (k) The Trustee shall not be liable to the parties hereto or deemed in breach or default hereunder if and to the extent its performance hereunder is prevented by reason of force majeure.

The Trustee may consult with counsel, including, without limitation, counsel of or to th e Authority, with regard to legal questions, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by the Trustee hereunder in accordance therewith.
The Trustee shall not be bound to recognize any person as the Owner of a Bond unless and until such Bond is submitted for inspection, if required, and his title thereto is established to the satisfaction of the Trustee.
Whenever in the administration of the trusts imposed upon it by this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a Written Certificate of the Authority, which shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken or suffered under the
43 4866-1778-8159v7/022726-0006
provisions of this Indenture in reliance upon such Written Certificate, but in its discretion the Trustee may, in lieu thereof, accept other evidence of such matter or may require such additional evidence as it may deem reasonable.

All interest or gain derived from the investment of amounts in any of the funds or accounts held by the Trustee hereunder shall be deposited in the Interest Account (pro-rata among sub-accounts); provided, however, that all interest or gain from the investment of amounts in the Reserve Account shall be deposited by the Trustee in the Interest Account only to the extent not required to cause the balance in the Reserve Account to equal the Reserve Requirement. The Trustee may act as principal or agent in the acquisition or disposition of any investment and may impose its customary charges therefor. The Trustee shall incur no liability for losses arising from any investments made at the direction of the Authority or otherwise made in accordance with this Section, nor losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its stated maturity or the failure of the Authority to provide timely written investment direction. Ratings of Permitted Investments shall be determined at the time of purchase of such Permitted Investments and without regard to ratings subcategories. The Trustee may make any and all such investments through its own investme nt department or that of its affiliates or subsidiaries, and may charge its ordinary and customary fees for such trades, including account maintenance fees. For investment purposes only, the Trustee may commingle the funds and accounts established hereunder, but shall account for each separately. In the absence of investment instructions from the Authority, the Trustee shall hold the moneys held by it hereunder uninvested.
The Authority acknowledges that to the extent regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or other applicable regulatory entity grant the Authority the right to receive brokerage confirmations of security transactions as they occur, the Authority specifically waives receipt of such confirmations to the extent permitted by law.

satisfaction from any loss, liability or expense (including fees and expenses of its outside counsel and the allocated costs and disbursements of its in -house counsel to the extent such services are not redundant with those provided by outside counsel).
Section 8.07 Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Owners is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy.

Section 8.11 [Special Provisions for 2025 Insurer Default. If a 2025 Insurer Default shall occur and be continuing, then, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (1) if at any time prior to or following a 2025 Insurer Default, the 2025 Insurer has made payment under the 2025 Insurance Policy, to the extent of such payment the 2025 Insurer shall be treated like any other holder of the 2025 Bonds, for all purposes, including giving of consents, and (2) if the 2025 Insurer has not made any payment under the 2025 Insurance Policy, the 2025 Insurer shall have no further consent rights until the particular 2025 Insurer Default is no longer continuing or the 2025 Insurer makes a payment under the 2025 Insurance Policy, in which event, the foregoing clause (1) shall control.

Such opinion and Verification Report shall be addressed to such Insurer and shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the 2025 Insurer . In addition, the escrow agreement shall provide that : (a) any substitution of securities shall require the delivery of a verification report, an opinion of Bond Counsel that such substitution will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income of the holders of the 2025 Bonds of the interest on the 2025 Bonds for federal income tax purposes and the prior written consent of the 2025 Insurer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. The Authority will not exercise any prior optional redemption of 2025 Bonds secured by the escrow agreement or any other redemption other than mandatory sinking fund redemptions unless (i) the right to make any such redemption has been expressly reserved in the escrow agreement and such reservation has been disclosed in detail in the official statement for the refunding bonds, and (ii) as a condition to any such redemption there shall be provided to the 2025 Insu rer a Verification Report as to the sufficiency of escrow receipts without reinvestment to meet the escrow requirements remaining following any such redemption, and the Authority shall not amend the escrow agreement or enter into a forward purchase agreement or other agreement with respect to rights in the escrow without written notice to and the prior written consent of the 2025 Insurer.]

The Bonds are being issued in the form of registered Bonds without coupons. Additional Parity Debt may be issued on a parity with the Bonds, but only subject to the terms of the Indenture.
Reference is hereby made to the Indenture (copies of which are on file at the office of the Authority) and all indentures supplemental thereto and to the Refunding Law, the Dissolution Act, the Marks- Roos Act, and the Law for a description of the terms on which the Bonds are issued, the provisions with regard to the nature and extent of the Pledged Tax Revenues (as that term is defined in the Indenture), and the rights thereunder of the Registered Owners of the Bonds and the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee and the rights and obligations of the Authority thereunder, to all of the provisions of which Indenture the Registered Owner of this Bond, by acceptance hereof, assents and agrees. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Indenture.
The Bonds have been issued by the Authority for the purpose of providing funds to refinance certain bonds previously issued by the Authority and to pay certain expenses of the Authority in issuing the Bonds.

There has been created, and will be maintained by the Authority, the Special Fund into which the Authority will deposit Pledged Tax Revenues received from the Auditor-Controller of the County of San Bernardino and from which the Authority shall transfer amounts to the Trustee for payment, when due, of the principal of and the interest and redemption premium, if any, on the Bonds and any Parity Debt (as defined in the Indenture).

This Bond is transferable upon the Registration Books, by the person in whose name it was registered, in person or by a duly authorized attorney of such person upon surrender to the Trustee at the Principal Corporate Trust Office for cancellation, but only in the ma nner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture. Upon registration of such transfer a new fully registered Bond or Bonds, of any authorized denomination or denominations, for the same aggregate principal amount and of the same seri es, tenor and maturity will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor.

commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Escrow Bank immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.

Section 3. Public Offering and Establishment of Issue Price.
(a) The Underwriter agrees to make an initial public offering of all of the Bonds at the public offering prices (or yields) set forth in Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference. Subsequent to the initial public offering, the Underwriter reserves the right to change the public offering prices (or yields) as the Underwriter deems necessary in connection with the marketing of the Bonds, provide d that the Underwriter shall not change the interest rates set forth on Exhibit A. The Bonds may be offered and s old to certain dealers at prices lower than such initial public offering prices. The Authority acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the purchase and sale of the Bonds pursuant to this Purchase Agreement is an arm’s -length commercial transaction between the Authority, on one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other; (ii) in connection therewith and with the discussions, undertakings and procedures leading up to the consummation of such transaction, the Underwriter is and has been acting solely as principal and is not acting as a Municipal Advisor (as defined in Section 15B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended); (iii) the Underwriter has not assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Authority with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the discussions, undertakings and procedures leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Underwriter has provided other services or is currently providing other services to the Authority on other matters); (iv) the Underwriter has financ ial and other interests that differ from those of the Authority; and (v) the Authority has consulted its own legal, financial and other advisors to the extent that it has deemed appropriate.
(b) The Underwriter agrees to assist the Authority in establishing the issue price of the Bonds and shall execute and deliver to the Authority at Closing (as defined below) an “issue price” or similar certificate, together with the supporting pricing wires or equivalent communications, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B, with such modifications as may be appropriate or necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriter, the Authority and Bond Counsel (as such term is defined below), to accurately reflect, as applicable, the sales price or prices or the initial offering price or prices to the public of the Bonds. All actions to be taken by the Authority under this Section to establish the issue price of the Bonds may be taken on behalf of the Authority by the Authority’s municipal advisor, Urban Futures, Inc., as municipal advisor (the “Municipal Advisor”) and any notice or report to be provided to the Authority may be provided to the Authority’s Municipal Advisor.
(c) Except as otherwise set forth in Exhibit A, the Authority will treat the first price at which 10% of each maturity of the Bonds (the “10% test”), identified under the column “10% Test Used” in Exhibit A, is sold to the public as the issue price of that maturity. At or promptly after the execution of this Purchase Agreement, the Underwriter shall report to the Authority the price or prices at which it has sold to the public each maturity of Bonds. If at that time the 10% test has not been satisfied as to any maturity of the Bonds, the Underwriter agrees to promptly report to the Authority the prices at which it sells the unsold Bonds of that maturity to the public. That reporting obligation shall continue, whether or not the Closing Date (as defined below) has occurred, until either: (i) the Underwriter has sold all of the Bonds of that m aturity; or (ii), the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided that, the Underwriter’s reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon the request of the Authority or Bond Counsel. For 4 purposes of this Section, if Bonds mature on the same date but have different interest rates, each separate CUSIP number within that maturity will be treated as a separate maturity of the Bonds. For clarity, and notwithstanding any other condition to Closing set forth in th is Purchase Agreement, the sale of 10% of each maturity of the Bonds to the public prior to the Closing Date shall not be a condition to Closing.
(d) The Underwriter confirms that it has offered the Bonds to the public on or before the date of this Purchase Agreement at the offering price or prices (the “initial offering price ”), or at the corresponding yield or yields, set forth in Exhibit A, except as otherwise set forth therein. Exhibit A also sets forth, identified under the column “Hold the Offering Price Rule Used,” as of the date of this Purchase Agreement, the maturities, if any, of the Bonds for which the 10% test has not been satisfied and for which the Authority and the Underwriter agree that the restrictions set forth in the next sentence shall apply, which will allow the Authority to treat the initial offering price to the public of each such maturity as of the sale date as the issue price of that maturity (the “hold-the-offering-price rule”). So long as the hold -the-offering-price rule remains applicable to any maturity of the Bonds, the Underwriter will neither offer nor sell unsold Bonds of that maturity to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price to the public during the period starting on the sale date and ending on the earlier of the following:
(i) the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date; or
(ii) the date on which the Underwriter has sold at least 10% of that maturity of the Bonds to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public.
The Underwriter will advise the Authority promptly after the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date whether it has sold 10% of that maturity of the Bonds to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public.

(1) any selling group agreement and any third-party distribution agreement relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each dealer who is a member of the selling group, and each broker-dealer that is a party to such third -party distribution agreement, as applicable, (A) (i) to report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allocated to it, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until either all Bonds of that maturity allocated to it have been sold or it is notified by the Underwriter that the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided that, the reporting obligation after the Closing Date m ay be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the Underwriter, and (ii) to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, if and for so long as directed by the Underwriter; (B) to promptly notify the Underwriter of any s ales of Bonds that, to its knowledge, are made to a purchaser who is a related party to an underwriter participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (each such term being used as defined below), and (C) to acknowledge that, unless otherwise advised by the dealer or broker-dealer, the Underwriter shall assume that each order submitted by the dealer or broker-dealer is a sale to the public; and
(2) any selling group agreement relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each dealer that is a party to a third-party distribution agreement to be employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public to require each broker -dealer that is a party to such third-party distribution 5 agreement to (A) report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allocated to it, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until either all Bonds of that maturity allocated to it have been sold or it is notified by the Underwriter or the dealer that the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided that, the reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the Underwriter or the dealer and (B) comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, if and for so long as directed by the Underwriter or the dealer and as set forth in the related pricing wires.
(f) The Authority acknowledges that, in making the representations set forth in this Section, the Underwriter will rely on (i) in the event a selling group has been created in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each dealer who is a member of the selling group to comply with the requirements for est ablishing issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in a selling group agreement and the related pricing wires, and (ii) in the event that a third - party distribution agreement was employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each broker -dealer that is a party to such agreement to comply with the requirements for establishing issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in the third -party distribution agreement and the related pricing wires. The Authority further acknowledges that the Underwriter shall not be liable for the failure of any dealer who is a member of a selling group, or of any broker -dealer that is a party to a third -party distribution agreement, to comply with its corresponding agreement to comply with the requirements for establishing issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold -the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds.
(g) The Underwriter acknowledges that sales of any Bonds to any person that is a related party to an underwriter participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (each such term being used as defined below) shall not constitute sales to the public for purposes of this Section. Further, for purposes of this Section:
(i) “public” means any person other than an underwriter or a related party;
(ii) “underwriter” means (A) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract with the Authority (or with the lead underwriter to form an underwriting syndicate) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public and (B) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract directly or indirectly with a person described in clause (A) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (including a member of a selling group or a party to a third party distribution agreement participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public);
(iii) a purchaser of any of the Bonds is a “related party” to an underwriter if the underwriter and the purchaser are subject, directly or indirectly, to (A) more than 50% common ownership of the voting power or the total value of their stock, if both entities are corporations (including direct ownership by one corporation of another), (B) more than 50% common ownership of their capital interests or profits interests, if both entities are partnerships (including direct ownership by one partnership of anoth er), or (C) more than 50% common ownership of the value of the outstanding stock of the corporation or the capital interests or profit interests of the partnership, as applicable, if one entity is a corporation and the other entity is a partnership (including direct ownership of the applicable stock or interests by one entity of the other); and

The Animal Services Department is

quality of life by encouraging responsible
pet ownership, providing animal welfare
education, enforcing adherence to City
animal licensing regulations, and
promoting animal adoptions. Our
collaboration with other City Departments
and agencies ensures a safer, healthier,

Licensing events are hosted monthly at
the New Animal Care and Adoption
Center providing an essential service to
local pet owners. In the second quarter
alone, 360 dogs were licensed,
reflecting the community’s commitment
to responsible pet ownership. Licensing
dogs not only ensures compliance with
local regulations but also plays a
critical role in helping the shelter and
the City. Licensed and properly
microchipped dogs allow the
opportunity to return the pet to their
owners if they become lost, reducing
the burden on the shelter and allowing
staff to focus resources on other
animals in need. Additionally, to support
our residents mourning the loss of a
family pet, Animal Services will pick up
a licensed pet at no cost.
MICROCHIPPING
Animal Services successfully
microchipped 600 pets as part of
licensing events, return-to-owner efforts,
and license renewals. Microchipping a pet
ensures that pets can be easily reunited
with their families if they become lost and
significantly reduces the number of stray
animals entering the shelter.
Microchipping supports pet owners by
providing peace of mind, knowing their
pets have a reliable form of identification.
These efforts underscore the City’s
commitment to responsible pet ownership
and improving animal welfare within our
community.

Animal Services staff made a significant impact this
season by hosting four (4) adoption events at the Fall
Festival, Costco, Victor Valley Trunk or Treat, and
Halloween at the Farmers Market. These events
brought the community together to meet, interact
with, and fall in love with animals in need of homes.
Thanks to the dedication of the staff and volunteers, 173 animals were successfully adopted and united with
their forever families. Each event was filled with joy, hope, and the heartwarming sight of pets finding loving homes, showcasing the power of community outreach
in transforming lives—both human and animal alike.

We hope every one of you enjoyed a wonderful Holiday Season. Our Engineering Department worked very hard in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024-2025. I am very proud to report on the progress of the Engineering Department. We completed the following projects:
• Citywide Pavement Preservation Project – This project included micro- surfacing and slurry seal treatment for fourteen (14) miles of City streets and two (2) City Park parking lots. Most of the work was completed last year, and the contractor is currently wrapping up the striping and minor items.
• Area 6 Water Service Replacement Projects – This project replaced 638 40-year-old plastic services in the Golden Triangle area with copper piping including the service saddles. This continues to the City’s investment in Water infrastructure. To minimize leaks, the Victorville Water District has replaced a total of 3,967 plastic services since 2018.
• Septic to Sewer Project. This project constructed a sewer lift station on Willow Street in Old Town Victorville that connected a total of three (3) residential properties to the City’s sewer collection system. We are already planning the next septic to sewer project and the first step will be to seek grant funds to continue to abandon septic systems that will ultimately increase water quality for our great City.
Additionally, we made great progress on our upcoming CIP projects. We are getting ready to advertise the following projects in the next quarter:
• Old Town Sidewalk Connectivity Project Phase 2. This project is partially funded by a $250k grant and will construct missing sidewalk at nine (9) locations in Old Town Victorville.
• Rectangular Red Flashing Beacons – This grant funded project will install Rectangular Red Flashing Beacons at nine (9) different crosswalk locations that will increase pedestrian safety for our residents. The project will also replace non-ADA compliant curb ramps and re-stripe crosswalks.
• Ridgecrest Road Improvements – This project will resurface Ridgecrest Road from Bear Valley Road to Pahute Avenue. The project will also construct sidewalk improvements on the east side of Ridgecrest Road north of Bear Valley Road.
• Roy Rogers Drive Improvements – This project will resurface Roy Rogers Drive from Amargosa Road to I-15. The project will also construct a center median east of Civic Drive.
• Mojave Drive Improvements – This project will resurface Mojave Drive from Amargosa Road to I-15. We are also proposing to complete road widening on the north side of Mojave Drive from Condor Road to Amargosa Road that will include the construction of a third lane for westbound traffic, curb & gutter, sidewalk, street lighting, and fire hydrants. As we wrap up the design, our next step will be to meet with the property owners for the needed right-of- way.
• Mesa Street Sewer Lateral Upgrades between Cataba Road and Cochita Street - This project will excavate and recompact approximately 2,660 lineal feet of deficient trench, repairing sewer laterals, and pavement restoration.
As we head into the Spring & Summer months, you will see more and more construction activity Citywide.
