Article II
Planning Commission
2.20.140 Responsibility—Jurisdiction.
A. The planning commission shall have all of the powers and duties prescribed by city ordinance and state statute, including, but not necessarily limited to, the Planning and Zoning Law (Government Code Section 65000 et seq.), the Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Section 66410 et seq.), the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.), and Title 8 of the Yolo County Code (as adopted by city Ordinance No. 87-18).
B.

For matters where the planning commission merely makes recommendations to the city council, the city council shall be the decision-making body.
(Ord. 15-1 § 2)
840
Ordinance 24-12
2.20.150. Conduct of business.
A. The planning commission shall conduct all business and hearings consistently with requirements of due process. In order to comply with due-process requirements, the planning commission may, on a case-by-case basis, modify procedural provisions of its own rules and regulations and city ordinances, provided that all notice, opportunity to be heard, and other due process procedures satisfy the requirements of law.
B. It is the intent of subsection A of this section to authorize and require all planning commission proceedings to be conducted in a manner consistent with applicable legal requirements. In order to further this intent, if any provision of city ordinance or rules or regulations adopted by the planning commission violates or is inconsistent with any superior legal requirement, then the planning commission is authorized and directed to suspend the application of the inferior ordinance, rule or regulation and to apply the superior legal requirement.
C. The oral proceedings of the planning commission shall be tape recorded and maintained by the city. Any interested person may request a transcription of such proceedings, provided that, prior to commencing the transcription process, such person deposits with the city clerk a sum of money equal to the estimated costs of preparing the transcript by certified court stenographer. (Ord. 15-1 § 2)
2.20.160 Tie votes.
In the event there is a tie vote on any motion pending before the planning commission, the chair shall call for any further motions of any commissioner on the subject. In the event no further motions are made, or that such further motions also result in a tie vote, the chair shall declare a deadlock. When any provision of city ordinance or state statute requires a recommendation from the planning commission before a matter is heard by the city council, a declaration of a deadlock shall be deemed to be a recommendation of denial by the planning commission for all such purposes. A declaration of a deadlock on any matter for which the planning commission is the decision-making body shall be considered a denial of such matter and shall be appealable to the city council, to the same extent, and in the same manner, as if the planning commission had denied the matter. The city clerk is authorized and instructed to waive the applicable filing fee for any appeal resulting from a declaration of a deadlock. (Ord. 15-1 § 2)
2.20.170 Finality of decision—Reconsideration.
A. Except as otherwise provided, a decision of the planning commission shall be final upon vote of the commission on the matter.
B. In cases where the planning commission renders a statement of intended decision with instructions to staff to draft written findings, then the planning commission's decision shall be final upon its final vote and adoption of findings.
C. In cases where city ordinance or other provisions of law expressly provide for an appeal to the city council on the matter, the decision of the planning commission shall be final upon the expiration of the time to appeal or, if an appeal was timely and properly filed, upon final action by the city council on the appeal.
D. The planning commission on its own motion may reconsider any decision provided that:
1. A majority of a quorum of the planning commission agrees to reconsider the decision or, if the action to be reconsidered requires a majority vote of the full planning commission, a majority of the full planning commission agrees to reconsider the decision; and
2. The person requesting reconsideration makes such a request prior to adjournment of the meeting at which the final decision of the planning 841
Ordinance 24-12
commission is made. A request for reconsideration is not a necessary step in the administrative appeals process and the failure to seek reconsideration shall not be deemed a failure to exhaust administrative remedies.
(Ord. 15-1 § 2)
2.20.180 Finality of permit—Conditional issuance.
A. Except as provided in subsection B of this section, any permit or other entitlement for use authorized by action of the planning commission shall not be formally issued by the city until the expiration of the time for appeal to the city council, if any, has expired, or if an appeal has been filed, until the effective date of the city council's decision on the appeal.
B. In its discretion, the planning commission is authorized to conditionally issue a permit or other entitlement for all or part of a requested use prior to expiration of the time for appeal to the city council, provided the following conditions are complied with:
1. The applicant files with the director of community development a written statement, in a form acceptable to the city, acknowledging that the permit is not final, and that no rights will vest by the applicant's expenditures and reliance on a permit or other entitlement for use conditionally issued pursuant to this section;
2. The applicant files with the director of community development a written statement, in a form acceptable to the city, acknowledging that, in the event the city council reverses or modifies the planning commission action, the applicant will remove all improvements, structures, facilities and utilities installed, placed or constructed pursuant to the conditional permit, and shall restore the project site to its condition immediately prior to the conditional issuance of the permit, and shall otherwise comply with the terms of the city council's decision;
3. The applicant files a performance bond or other surety with the director of community development, in a form and amount acceptable to the city, to ensure the applicant's compliance with paragraphs 1 and 2 of this subsection.
C. The planning commission shall not conditionally issue a permit or other entitlement for use after an appeal to the city council has been filed. In exercising its discretion under subsection B of this section, the planning commission shall consider the following factors, in addition to other appropriate factors:
1. Likelihood of an appeal to the city council, and likelihood of reversal or modification in the event there is an appeal;
2. The size and costs of the project; and
3. The practical difficulty in restoring the project site to pre-project conditions in the event the city council reverses or modifies the planning commission's decision.
(Ord. 15-1 § 2)
2.20.190 Denial—Effect.
Unless otherwise specified by the planning commission, denial of any permit or other entitlement for use will be deemed to be a denial with prejudice, except that the city council, on appeal, may remand the matter to the planning commission for further consideration. If a denial of the planning commission is with prejudice, no subsequent application for the same or similar permit or entitlement for use may be filed within one year from the date of the planning commission's decision, or the city council's affirmance, whichever is later, unless the application has been modified to correct the deficiencies and/or to otherwise address the concerns of the planning commission or city council. Any subsequent application will require a new filing fee. If a 842
Ordinance 24-12
denial is expressly made without prejudice, the same or similar application may be resubmitted at any time, and the filing fee will be limited to those fees for additional processing over and above the processing of the original application, as determined by the director of community development.
(Ord. 15-1 § 2)
2.20.200 Appeals.
Except as otherwise provided by city ordinance, state statute or other law, any person interested in an action of the planning commission, including the city council or any individual city councilmember, may take an appeal to the city council by filing a notice of appeal with the city clerk within fifteen days of the date of the final action by the planning commission.
Exception: appeals filed pursuant to Chapter 16.20, Tentative Maps, Section 16.20.060, shall be filed within ten days after the planning commission's decision. Appeals filed pursuant to other city ordinances, state statutes or other laws may be subject to different time lines. The notice of appeal filed with the city clerk, except a notice filed by the city council or a city councilmember, shall be accompanied by the appropriate filing fee as established by the city pursuant to resolution. Upon receipt of the notice of appeal, the city clerk shall cause the record of proceedings before the planning commission to be transmitted to the city council. The record of proceeding shall include all written materials the planning commission considered in taking the action being appealed. The city council may affirm, reverse or modify the decision of the planning commission.
(Ord. 15-1 § 2)
2.20.210 Adoption of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.6—Exhaustion of remedies.

C. Appeal to the city council, when expressly made available by city ordinance or other provisions of law, is a necessary step in the administrative appeals process and the failure to pursue an appeal shall be deemed a failure to exhaust administrative remedies.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 21, 2024 ITEM #13
SUBJECT:
CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 24-86 AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF CITY OF WEST SACRAMENTO INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 1 (BRIDGE DISTRICT AREA) TO FUND VARIOUS CAPITAL PROJECTS AND AUTHORIZE
THE FILING OF A VALIDATION ACTION
INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
Roberta Raper, Finance Director
Finance Department
[ ] Council [X] Staff
[ ] Other
ATTACHMENT [X] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [X] Action
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this report is to seek authorization for the issuance of debt by the City of West Sacramento Infrastructure Financing District No. 1 (Bridge District Area) to fund various capital projects and authorize the filing of a judicial validation action.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the Public Financing Authority adopt Resolution 24-86 which authorizes the following actions:
1. Approve the issuance and sale of City of West Sacramento Infrastructure District No. 1 (“IFD”) bonds in an amount not to exceed $233,000,000 (“Bonds”);
2. Authorize the execution and delivery of a fiscal agent agreement prescribing the terms and conditions of the Bonds;
3. Appoint the firms of Lozano Smith LLP as Bond and Disclosure Counsel, and the firm of Del Rio Advisors, LLC, as Municipal Advisor, in connection with the issuance, sale, and delivery of the Bonds;
4. Authorize the initiation of a judicial validation action with respect to the IFD and the Bonds pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 860 et seq.; and
5. Approve other actions associated with the financing and the validation action.
BACKGROUND
On June 4, 2014, the West Sacramento City Council (the “City Council”) approved Resolution 14-38 proposing to establish the IFD to finance the construction of public improvements in the Bridge District and other eligible uses, directing the preparation of an Infrastructure Financing Plan (the “Plan”), establishing an appropriations limit, and calling an election to approve said actions.
A special election was held on October 8, 2014, at which time the qualified electors within the IFD approved the actions proposed in Resolution 14-38.
On October 8, 2014, the City Council adopted the Plan and established the IFD pursuant to Ordinance 14-12.
Since formation, the IFD has successfully operated and it is estimated to be one of only three such infrastructure financing districts in the State. In accordance with the IFD law, the amount of tax increment allocated to the IFD has increased since the establishment of the IFD base year as of October 8, 2014. Tax increment revenues in the IFD now approach $600,000 for FY 2024/25.
ANALYSIS
The level of tax increment revenues has approached a level where City staff feel it is prudent for the Bridge District IFD to consider issuing bonds. These bonds will be issued by the IFD and will not be an obligation of the City.
Because these IFD tax increment bonds would be one of the first (if not the first) to be publicly issued in the state, staff believes it is necessary to pursue a judicial validation action. The purpose of the validation action would be to validate (among other things) the IFD, the financing structure, and the method of sale.
Today’s approval of the IFD bond issuance and authorization of the validation proceedings begins the financing process. Following today’s approval, staff will work with the City Attorney and special counsel on the validation 848
Consideration of Resolution 24-4 Authorizing the Issuance and Sale of EIFD Bonds and Related Actions August 21, 2024
action and the financing structure. The outcome of the validation action will dictate how certain elements of the financing will ultimately be designed. Accordingly, staff will return to the City Council at a later date for specific approval of a particular series of IFD Bonds and the approximate par amount thereof.
It is important to note that the amount being requested for authority under today’s action is the total amount identified in the IFD formation documents (based on a thirty-year life of the IFD at the time of its creation in 2014).
This is not the amount of bonds to be issued at this time. This action simply allows staff and legal counsel to move forward with the validation action, which requires the City Council to authorize the issuance of debt. Since the amount of bonds proposed has not yet been determined, staff felt it prudent to authorize the full amount over the life of the IFD to move forward with the validation action. At any point in the future when bonds are being considered, City Council approval will be required. Today’s action does NOT authorize staff to issue bonds at will without further consideration or action by the City Council.
Environmental Considerations

Commission Recommendation

Alternatives
As an alternative to the recommended action, the Council could direct that the action be deferred if there are questions or concerns about the nature of the transaction.
Coordination and Review
This report was coordinated with the City Attorney’s office, special legal counsel, the City Manager’s office, the Capital Projects Department, and the Economic Development and Housing Department.
Budget/Cost Impact
The judicial validation is expected to cost somewhere between $50,000 and $80,000. The budget for this work is included in the midterm budget under consideration for approval by Council on today’s agenda. The cost to issue bonds will be funded from the bond proceeds.

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATES (IFD)
California Government Code Section 5852.1 requires that the IFD disclose specified information obtained as good faith estimates from an underwriter or municipal advisor prior to authorization of the issuance of bonds. The IFD has received such information from the Municipal Advisor as set forth below:
(1) Name of Municipal Advisor: Del Rio Advisors, LLC
(2) Meeting Date: August 21, 2024
(3) Name of Bond Issue: City of West Sacramento, Infrastructure Financing District (the “2025 Bonds”)
(4) The Municipal Advisor has provided to the IFD the following required good faith estimates relating to the 2025 Bonds:
a) The true interest cost of the 2025 Bonds, which means 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 bonds: 5.18839%. b) The finance charge of the 2025 Bonds, which means the sum of all fees and charges paid to third parties: $1,665,000 which includes both the underwriter’s discount in the estimated amount of $1,165,000 and costs of issuance in the estimated amount of $500,000.
c) The amount of proceeds received by the public body for sale of the 2025 Bonds less the finance charge of the 2024 Bonds described in subparagraph b) and less any reserves or capitalized interest paid or funded with proceeds of the 2025 Bonds: $213,204,384.95.
d) The total payment amount, which means the sum total of all payments the public body will make to pay debt service on the 2025 Bonds (which total payment amount is calculated to the final maturity of the 2025 Bonds): $379,400,005.00.
The foregoing estimates constitute good faith estimates only. The actual principal amount of the 2025 Bonds issued and sold, the true interest cost thereof, the finance charges thereof, the amount of proceeds received therefrom and total payment amount with respect thereto may differ from such good faith estimates due to a variety of factors. The actual interest rates borne by the 2025 Bonds and the actual amortization of the 2025 Bonds will depend on market interest rates at the time of sale thereof. Market interest rates are affected by economic and other factors beyond the control of the IFD.

Section 2.3 Forms and Denominations. The form of the Bonds of each Series shall be established by the provisions of this Fiscal Agent Agreement with respect to the Series 2025 Bonds or the Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement creating such Series. The Bonds of each Series shall be distinguished from the Bonds of other Series as may be determined by the officers of the City executing particular Bonds, as evidenced by their execution thereof.
The District may issue the Bonds of any Series (i) in such denominations as it specifies at the time of issuance thereof and (ii) in fully registered form without coupons or in fully registered book-entry form.
Section 2.4 Execution and Authentication. The Bonds shall be executed in the name and on behalf of the District by the Mayor and countersigned by the City Clerk. The signature of any of these officers on the Bonds may be facsimile or manual. Unless otherwise provided in any Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement, the Bonds shall then be delivered to the Fiscal Agent for authentication by it.
In case any of the officers who shall have signed or countersigned any of the Bonds shall cease to be such officer or officers of the City before the Bonds so signed or countersigned shall have been authenticated, or delivered by the Fiscal Agent, or issued by the District, such Bonds may nevertheless be authenticated, delivered, and issued and, upon such authentication, delivery, and issue, shall be as binding upon the District as though those who signed and countersigned the same had continued to be such officers of the City. Any Bond may be signed and attested on behalf of the District by such persons as at the actual date of execution such Bond shall be the proper officers of the City although at the nominal date of such Bond any such person shall not have been such officer of the City.
Except as may be provided in any Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement, no Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to the benefits of this Fiscal Agent Agreement 877
4894-8308-9618 18 IFD No. 1 Fiscal Agent Agreement
unless there appears on such Bond a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein, manually executed by the Fiscal Agent. Such certificate of authentication when manually executed by the Fiscal Agent shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Bond has been duly executed, authenticated, and delivered hereunder.
Section 2.5 Registration, Transfer, and Exchange. The Fiscal Agent will keep or cause to be kept, at its Corporate Trust Office, a register (herein sometimes referred to as the “Bond Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Fiscal Agent shall provide for the registration and transfer of Bonds. The Bond Register shall at all times be open to inspection during normal business hours by the District.
Upon surrender of a Bond for transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, the District shall execute and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of the same Series, tenor, and maturity and for an equivalent aggregate principal amount.
Bonds of any Series may be exchanged for an equivalent aggregate principal amount of Bonds of other authorized denominations of the same Series, tenor, and maturity, upon surrender of the Bonds for exchange at the Corporate Trust Office. Upon surrender of Bonds for exchange, the District shall execute and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver the Bonds that the Bondholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
All Bonds surrendered upon any exchange or transfer provided for in this Fiscal Agent Agreement shall be promptly cancelled by the Fiscal Agent and thereafter disposed of as provided for in Section 2.9 (Cancellation).
All Bonds issued upon any transfer or exchange of Bonds shall be the valid obligations of the District, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same security and benefits under this Fiscal Agent Agreement, as the Bonds surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.
Every Bond presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in a form approved in writing by the District, that is duly executed by the Owner or by his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Bonds, but the Bondholder requesting such transfer or exchange shall pay any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer or exchange.
The Fiscal Agent shall not be required to transfer or exchange (i) Bonds of any Series during the period established by the Fiscal Agent for the selection of Bonds of such Series for redemption or (ii) any Bond that has been selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of such Bond selected for redemption in part, from and after the day that such Bond has been selected for redemption in whole or in part.
Section 2.6 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost, or Stolen Bonds. If (i) any mutilated Bond is surrendered to the Fiscal Agent, or the Fiscal Agent receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss, or theft of any Bond, and (ii) there is delivered to the Fiscal Agent such security or indemnity for the District and the Fiscal Agent as the Fiscal Agent may approve, then the District 878
4894-8308-9618 19 IFD No. 1 Fiscal Agent Agreement
shall execute, and upon its request the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Bond, a new Bond of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
Upon the issuance of any new Bond under this Section, the District may require payment by the applicable Bond Owner of a sum sufficient to pay the cost of preparing such Bond, any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto, and any other expenses connected therewith.
Every new Bond issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost, or stolen Bond shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the District, whether or not the destroyed, lost, or stolen Bond shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the security and benefits of this Fiscal Agent Agreement equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Bonds secured by this Fiscal Agent Agreement. Neither the District nor the Fiscal Agent shall be required to treat both the new Bond and the Bond it replaces as being Outstanding for the purpose of determining the principal amount of Bonds that may be issued hereunder, but both the new Bond and the Bond it replaces shall be treated as one and the same.
Section 2.7 Payment of Interest on Bonds; Interest Rights Preserved. Interest on any Bond of any Series that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Owner thereof as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest specified in the provisions of this Fiscal Agent Agreement.
Any interest on any Bond of any Series that is payable but is not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Owner on the relevant Regular Record Date. Such defaulted interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name the Bond is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Fiscal Agent. In the name and at the expense of the District, the Fiscal Agent shall cause notice of the payment of such defaulted interest and the Special Record Date to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Owner of a Bond of such Series at his address as it appears in the Bond Register not fewer than ten (10) days prior to such Special Record Date.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Bond delivered under this Fiscal Agent Agreement upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Bond shall carry all the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Bond. Each such Bond shall bear interest from such date that neither loss nor gain in interest shall result from such transfer, exchange, or substitution.
Section 2.8 Persons Deemed Owners. The District and the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to treat the person in whose name any Bond is registered as the owner thereof for all purposes of the Fiscal Agent Agreement and any applicable laws, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary received by the Fiscal Agent or the District. The ownership of Bonds shall be proved by the Bond Register. The Fiscal Agent may establish a record date as of which to measure consent of the Bondowners in order to determine whether the requisite consents are received.
Section 2.9 Cancellation. All Bonds surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer, or exchange, if surrendered to the Fiscal Agent, shall be promptly cancelled by the Fiscal Agent and, 879
4894-8308-9618 20 IFD No. 1 Fiscal Agent Agreement
if surrendered to any person other than the Fiscal Agent, shall be delivered to the Fiscal Agent and, if not already cancelled, shall be promptly cancelled by the Fiscal Agent.
The District shall deliver to the Fiscal Agent for cancellation any Bonds acquired in any manner by the District, and the Fiscal Agent shall promptly cancel such Bonds.
No Bond shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Bond cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly provided by this Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Fiscal Agent shall destroy all cancelled Bonds and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the District.
Section 2.10 Book-Entry Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Fiscal Agent Agreement to the contrary, if a Series of Bonds is issued in book-entry form the following provisions shall apply:
(A) Limitations on Transfer. Registered ownership of Bonds issued in bookentry form, or any portions thereof, may not be transferred except:
(1) To any successor of DTC or its nominee, or to any substitute depository designated pursuant to clause (2) of this subsection (“substitute depository”); provided that any successor of DTC or substitute depository shall be qualified under any applicable laws to provide the service proposed to be provided by it; (2) To any substitute depository not objected to by the Fiscal Agent, upon (a) the resignation of DTC or its successor (or any substitute depository or its successor) from its functions as depository, or (b) a determination by the District that DTC or its successor (or any substitute depository or its successor) is no longer able to carry out its functions as depository; provided that any such substitute depository shall be qualified under any applicable laws to provide the services proposed to be provided by it; or (3) To any person as provided below, upon (a) the resignation of DTC or its successor (or substitute depository or its successor) from its functions as depository if no substitute depository that is not objected to by the Fiscal Agent can be obtained, or (b) a determination by the District that it is in the best interests of the District to remove DTC or its successor (or any substitute depository or its successor) from its function as depository.
(B) Execution and Delivery of New Bonds. In the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (1) or clause (2) of subsection 2.10(A) (Book-Entry Provisions -- Limitations on Transfer) hereof, upon receipt of all Outstanding Bonds of such Series of book-entry Bonds by the Fiscal Agent, together with a Certificate of the District to the Fiscal Agent, a single new Bond for each maturity of such Series in the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of such maturity then Outstanding shall be executed and delivered, registered in the name of such successor or such substitute depository, or their nominees, as the case may be, all as specified in such Certificate of the District. In the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (3) of subsection 2.10(A) (Book-Entry Provisions -- Limitations on Transfer) hereof, upon receipt of all Outstanding Bonds of such Series of book-entry Bonds by the Fiscal Agent together with a Certificate of the District to the Fiscal Agent, new Bonds of such Series shall be executed and delivered in such denominations and registered in the names of such persons as are requested in such Certificate of the District, subject 880
4894-8308-9618 21 IFD No. 1 Fiscal Agent Agreement
to the limitations of Section 2.5 (Registration, Transfer, and Exchange) hereof; provided the Fiscal Agent shall not be required to deliver such new Bonds within a period less than 60 days from the date of receipt of such a Certificate of the District.
(C) Notation of Reduction of Principal. In the case of partial redemption, cancellation or a refunding of any Bonds evidencing all or a portion of the principal maturing in a particular year, DTC shall make an appropriate notation on the Bonds indicating the date and amounts of such reduction in principal, in form acceptable to the Fiscal Agent. (D) No Responsibility to Persons Other Than Owners. The District and the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to treat the person in whose name any Bond is registered as the Owner thereof for all purposes of the Fiscal Agent Agreement and any applicable laws, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary received by the Fiscal Agent or the District; and the District and the Fiscal Agent shall have no responsibility for transmitting payments to, communication with, notifying, or otherwise dealing with any beneficial owners of the Bonds.
Neither the District nor the Fiscal Agent will have any responsibility or obligations, legal or otherwise, to the beneficial owners or to any other party including DTC or its successor (or substitute depository or its successor), except for the Owner of any Bond. (E) Payments to Depository. So long as all Outstanding Bonds of a Series are registered in the name of “Cede & Co.” or its registered assign, the District and the Fiscal Agent shall cooperate with “Cede & Co.,” as sole registered Owner, and its registered assigns in effecting payment of the principal, redemption premium, if any, and interest represented by the Bonds of such Series by arranging for payment in such manner that funds for such payments are properly identified and are made immediately available on the date they are due.

(A) deposit the amount of [$_________] into the Costs of Issuance Fund, created by Section 3.4 (Establishment and Application of Costs of Issuance Fund); (B) deposit the amount of [$__________] into the Project Fund, created by Section 3.5 (Establishment and Application of the Project Fund); and (C) deposit the amount of [$__________] into the Bond Reserve Fund established pursuant to Section 7.7 (Funding and Application of Bond Reserve Fund).

884
4894-8308-9618 25 IFD No. 1 Fiscal Agent Agreement
Section 3.4 Establishment and Application of Costs of Issuance Fund. The Fiscal Agent shall establish and maintain a separate fund designated as the “Costs of Issuance Fund.” With respect to each Series of Bonds for which proceeds of the sale thereof are required to be set aside specifically to pay Costs of Issuance, the Fiscal Agent shall maintain a separate account within the Costs of Issuance Fund designated as the “________ Costs of Issuance Account” (inserting therein the Series designation of such Bonds). The moneys in each Costs of Issuance Account shall be applied by the Fiscal Agent to pay or to reimburse the District and the City for the payment of the Costs of Issuance of the related Series of Bonds. Before any payment from the Costs of Issuance Fund shall be made, the District shall file or cause to be filed with the Fiscal Agent a Requisition of the District in the form of Exhibit B hereto executed by an Authorized Officer. At the end of four (4) months from the date of issuance of such Series of Bonds, or upon an earlier determination by the District or the City that amounts in such fund are no longer required for the payment of Costs of Issuance, the Fiscal Agent shall transfer any remaining amounts in such fund to the Tax Increment Fund.
Section 3.5 Establishment and Application of the Project Fund (A) Establishment of the Project Fund.

The District may use and withdraw moneys in the Project Fund to pay the costs of the IFD Projects.
(B) Requisition of Amounts in the Project Fund. Before any payment from the Project Fund is made, the District shall file or cause to be filed with the Fiscal Agent a Requisition of the District in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.
(C) Payments from the Project Fund. Upon receipt of a Requisition in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, the Fiscal Agent shall pay the amount set forth in the Requisition as directed by the terms thereof out of the Project Fund. The Fiscal Agent shall not incur any liability for any disbursement from the Project Fund made in reliance upon any Requisition. (D) Transfer of Remaining Balance. When the District determines that all of the costs of the IFD Projects have been paid, the District shall provide written notification of such determination to the Fiscal Agent and direct the Fiscal Agent to transfer any remaining balance in the Project Fund into the Tax Increment Fund and the Project Fund shall thereupon be closed.
Section 3.6 Validity of Series 2025 Bonds. The recital in the Series 2025 Bonds that they are issued pursuant to the IFD Law and statutes of the State shall be conclusive evidence of their validity and of compliance with provisions of IFD Law in their issuance.
ARTICLE IV
ISSUANCE AND DELIVERY OF ADDITIONAL SERIES OF BONDS
Section 4.1 Issuance of Parity Bonds. In addition to the Series 2025 Bonds, the District may issue or incur Parity Bonds in such principal amount as shall be determined by the District subject to the following specific conditions precedent:
885
4894-8308-9618 26 IFD No. 1 Fiscal Agent Agreement
(A) Upon the issuance of such Parity Bonds, there shall have occurred and be continuing no Event of Default (or other event which, once all notice and opportunity to cure have passed, would constitute an Event of Default) unless such default shall be cured upon such issuance.
(B) The Eligible Revenues that may be received by the District in each Fiscal Year during the term of the Parity Bonds, based on the then current year Eligible Revenues, assuming no growth in assessed value, plus at the option of the District the Additional Eligible Revenues, as set forth in a Written Certificate of the District filed with the Fiscal Agent, shall be equal to [125%] of the sum of Maximum Annual Debt Service on all Bonds. For purposes of this test, Maximum Annual Debt Service on any Bonds the proceeds of which have been deposited into an escrow fund meeting the requirements of paragraph (F) below will be excluded. This subsection (B) shall not apply to the issuance of Parity Bonds issued for the purpose of refunding Bonds, if the Annual Debt Service on the refunding Parity Bonds will be less in each Bond Year than the Annual Debt Service on the Bonds being refunded. (C) The Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement providing for the issuance of such Parity Bonds shall provide that interest thereon shall not be payable on any dates other than March 1 and September 1, and principal thereof shall be payable on September 1 in any year in which principal is payable.
(D) The Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement providing for the issuance of such Parity Bonds shall (i) provide for the funding of the Bond Reserve Fund or a subaccount therein in an amount equal to the Bond Reserve Requirement for such Parity Bonds, (ii) designate accounts and subaccounts within the Interest Fund, the Principal Fund, and the Bond Reserve Fund, to be used in connection with such Parity Bonds; and (iii) set forth such other provisions that are appropriate or necessary and are not inconsistent with the provisions hereof. (E) The issuance of such Parity Bonds will not cause the District to exceed any applicable Plan Limitations.
(F) The District shall deliver to the Fiscal Agent a Certificate of the District (which may be based in part on an opinion of Bond Counsel or other counsel to the District and in part on a Report of an Independent Fiscal Consultant) certifying that the conditions precedent to the issuance of such Parity Bonds set forth in the foregoing subsections (a) through (e) of this Section 4.1 have been satisfied.
Section 4.2 Subordinate Debt. In addition to the Series 2025 Bonds and any Parity Bonds, from time to time the District may, subject to any Plan Limitations, issue or incur Subordinate Debt that is either:
(A) payable from, but not secured by a pledge of or lien upon, the Eligible Revenues; or
(B) secured by a pledge of or lien upon the Eligible Revenues which is expressly subordinate to the pledge or lien upon the Tax Increment Revenues under the Irrevocable Pledge and hereunder for the security for the Bonds.
886
4894-8308-9618 27 IFD No. 1 Fiscal Agent Agreement
Section 4.3 Refunding Bonds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the District may at any time issue bonds payable from the proceeds of the Tax Increment Revenues and secured on a parity with the Outstanding Bonds for the purpose of refunding a portion of the Outstanding Bonds hereunder as provided in Section 53397.8 of the IFD Law (or any applicable successor provisions of the IFD Law).
ARTICLE V
REDEMPTION OF BONDS
Section 5.1 General Applicability of Article. Bonds of any Series that are redeemable before their respective stated maturities shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise provided with respect to the Bonds of any particular Series by the provisions of this Fiscal Agent Agreement creating such Series) in accordance with this Article.
Section 5.2 Notice to Fiscal Agent. In the case of any redemption of less than all the Outstanding Bonds of any Series either at the election of the District or from prepaid Tax Increment Revenues, the District shall, at least sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed for redemption (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Fiscal Agent, in its sole discretion) notify the Fiscal Agent of such redemption date and of the principal amount of Bonds of each Series to be redeemed.
Section 5.3 Selection by Fiscal Agent of Bonds to be Redeemed. If the District does not specify the amount of each Series to be redeemed, the Fiscal Agent shall prorate the amount of Bonds to be redeemed between all the Series in proportion to the amount of Bonds of each Series that are Outstanding. If the District does not specify the particular maturities of Bonds of a Series to be redeemed, Bonds of such Series shall be redeemed in inverse order of maturities.
If less than all the Outstanding Bonds of any maturity of a Series are to be redeemed, not more than forty-five (45) days prior to the redemption date the Fiscal Agent shall select the particular Bonds to be redeemed from the Outstanding Bonds of such Series and maturity that have not previously been called for redemption, in minimum denominations of $5,000, by lot or at random in any manner that the Fiscal Agent in its sole discretion shall deem appropriate and fair.
The Fiscal Agent shall promptly notify the District in writing of the Bonds so selected for redemption and, in the case of a Bond selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.
For all purposes of this Fiscal Agent Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Bonds shall relate, in the case of any Bond redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal of such Bond that has been or is to be redeemed.
887
4894-8308-9618 28 IFD No. 1 Fiscal Agent Agreement
Section 5.4 Notice of Redemption.
(A) Mailed Notice. The Fiscal Agent shall mail notice of redemption, such notice being prepared at the cost and expense of the District, by first class mail, not fewer than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date, to (i) the respective Owners of any Bonds designated for redemption at their addresses appearing on the Bond Register, (ii) the Securities Depository (if such Bonds are not then in book-entry form), and (iii) the Information Service. If a Series of Bonds is not then registered solely to a Securities Depository, the Fiscal Agent shall also give notice of redemption of Bonds of such Series to the Securities Depositories and the Information Service (at the same time it mails notice of redemption to the Owners) by registered or overnight mail, or by such other method as may be acceptable to such institutions.
Notice of redemption to the Securities Depository shall be given electronically to “[email protected]” or to such other address as the Securities Depository shall specify.
(B) Content of Notice. Each notice of redemption shall state (a) the date of such notice, (b) the Series designation and maturities of the Bonds to be redeemed, (c) the date of issue of the Series of Bonds, (d) the redemption date, (e) the Redemption Price, (f) the place or places of redemption (including the name and appropriate address or addresses of the Fiscal Agent), (g) the CUSIP number (if any) of the maturity or maturities, and (h) if less than all of any such maturity, the distinctive certificate numbers of the Bonds of such maturity to be redeemed and, in the case of Bonds to be redeemed in part only, the respective portions of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Each such notice shall also (a) state that on said date there will become due and payable on each of said Bonds the Redemption Price thereof or of said specified portion of the principal amount thereof in the case of a Bond to be redeemed in part only, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption, and (b) state that from and after such redemption date interest thereon shall cease to accrue, and (c) require that such Bonds be then surrendered at the address or addresses of the Fiscal Agent specified in the redemption notice.
Neither the District nor the Fiscal Agent shall have any responsibility for any defect in the CUSIP number that appears on any Bond or in any redemption notice with respect thereto, and any such redemption notice may contain a statement to the effect that CUSIP numbers have been assigned by an independent service for convenience of reference and that neither the District nor the Fiscal Agent shall be liable for any inaccuracy in such numbers. (C) Defects in Notice or Procedure. Failure by the Fiscal Agent to give notice to the Information Service or any one or more of the Securities Depositories or failure of any Owner to receive notice or any defect in any such notice shall not affect the sufficiency of the proceedings for redemption. A certificate by the Fiscal Agent that notice of redemption has been given as herein provided shall be conclusive as against all parties to whom such notice was given and no such party shall be entitled to show that he or she failed to receive notice of redemption.
Failure by the Fiscal Agent to mail notice to any one or more of the respective Owners of any Bonds designated for redemption shall not affect the sufficiency of the proceedings for redemption with respect to the Owner or Owners to whom such notice was mailed. (D) Conditional Notice of Redemption; Rescission of Redemption. The District may, at its option, specify in any notice of optional redemption that redemption is conditional upon the availability of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all the Bonds that are to be 888
4894-8308-9618 29 IFD No. 1 Fiscal Agent Agreement
redeemed on the date fixed for redemption. The District may, at its option, prior to the date fixed for optional redemption in any notice of redemption, rescind and cancel such notice of optional redemption by written notice to the Fiscal Agent at least one business day prior to the date fixed for redemption. Any notice of redemption will be cancelled and annulled if for any reason funds are not available on the date fixed for redemption for the payment in full of the Bonds then called for redemption, and such cancellation will not constitute a default under this Fiscal Agent Agreement. Neither the District nor the Fiscal Agent will have any liability to the Owners or any other party as a result of the District’s failure to redeem Bonds as a result of insufficient money.
Section 5.5 Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to any redemption date, the District shall deposit with the Fiscal Agent an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all the Bonds that are to be redeemed on that date. Such money shall be held for the benefit of the persons entitled to such Redemption Price.
Section 5.6 Bonds Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been duly given as aforesaid and moneys for payment of the Redemption Price of the Bonds so to be redeemed being held by the Fiscal Agent, on the redemption date designated in such notice (i) the Bonds so to be redeemed shall become due and payable at the Redemption Price specified in such notice, (ii) interest on such Bonds shall cease to accrue, (iii) such Bonds shall cease to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Fiscal Agent Agreement, and (iv) the Owners of such Bonds shall have no rights in respect thereof except to receive payment of the Redemption Price. Upon surrender of any such Bond for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Bond shall be paid by Fiscal Agent at the Redemption Price. Installments of interest due on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Owners of the Bonds on the relevant Record Dates according to the terms of such Bonds and the provisions of Section 2.7 (Payment of Interest on Bonds; Interest Rights Preserved).
Section 5.7 Bonds Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of any Bond redeemed in part only, the District shall execute and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the Owner thereof, at the expense of the District, a new Bond or Bonds of the same Series of authorized denominations, and of the same maturity, equal in aggregate principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Bond surrendered.

PAYMENT OF BONDS
Section 7.1 Liability of the District Limited to Tax Increment Revenues. (A) Notwithstanding anything in this Fiscal Agent Agreement or in the Bonds contained, the District shall not be required to advance any moneys derived from any source other than the Tax Increment Revenues and other assets pledged hereunder for any of the purposes in this Fiscal Agent Agreement mentioned, whether for the payment of the principal or Redemption Price of or interest on the Bonds or for any other purpose of this Fiscal Agent Agreement. (B) THE BONDS ARE NOT A DEBT OF THE CITY OF WEST
SACRAMENTO THE COUNTY OF YOLO, THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, OR ANY OF ITS
POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS (OTHER THAN THE DISTRICT), AND NEITHER SAID CITY,
SAID COUNTY, SAID STATE, NOR ANY OF ITS POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS (OTHER
THAN THE DISTRICT), IS LIABLE THEREON NOR IN ANY EVENT SHALL THE BONDS
BE PAYABLE OUT OF ANY FUNDS OR PROPERTIES OTHER THAN THE TAX INCREMENT REVENUES. THE BONDS DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN INDEBTEDNESS
WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY DEBT LIMITATION.
Section 7.2 Deposit of Tax Increment Revenues. The Fiscal Agent shall establish and maintain a separate fund designated as the “Tax Increment Fund.” The District agrees and covenants that, at each time that it receives Tax Increment Revenues it will transfer the Tax Increment Revenues to the Fiscal Agent for deposit into the Tax Increment Fund promptly until such time during such Bond Year as the amounts on deposit in the Tax Increment Fund equal the aggregate amounts required to be transferred to the Fiscal Agent for deposit into the Interest Fund, the Principal Fund, the Sinking Account and the Redemption Accounts, and the Bond Reserve 892
4894-8308-9618 33 IFD No. 1 Fiscal Agent Agreement
Fund in such Bond Year pursuant to Section 7.4(D) and shall be disposed of as provided in Section
7.4(D).
All Tax Increment Revenues received by the District during any Bond Year in excess of the amount required to be deposited in the Tax Increment Fund during such Bond Year pursuant to the preceding paragraph of this Section are surplus pursuant to Section 7.4(D) and shall be deposited in the Surplus Fund.
Section 7.3 Pledge of Tax Increment Revenues. Subject only to the provisions of this Fiscal Agent Agreement permitting the application thereof for the purposes and on the terms and conditions set forth herein, all of the Tax Increment Revenues, and all amounts (including proceeds of the Bonds) held by the District or the Fiscal Agent in any fund or account established hereunder (except for amounts held in the Rebate Fund) are hereby pledged to secure the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds in accordance with their terms and the provisions of this Fiscal Agent Agreement. This pledge shall constitute a first lien on the Tax Increment Revenues and amounts in such funds and shall be valid and binding from and after delivery by the Fiscal Agent of the Bonds, without any physical delivery thereof or further act. The Tax Increment Revenues are hereby pledged to the payment of Bonds without priority or distinction of one over the other and the Tax Increment Revenues constitute a trust fund for the security and payment of the interest on and principal of the Bonds; but nevertheless out of Tax Increment Revenues certain amounts may be applied for other purposes as provided herein. The pledge of Tax Increment Revenues herein made shall be irrevocable until all of the Bonds are no longer Outstanding.
Section 7.4 Allocation of Tax Increment Revenues. The Fiscal Agent shall transfer from the Tax Increment Fund and the Fiscal Agent shall deposit into the following respective accounts and funds (each of which accounts and funds are hereby created with the Fiscal Agent) in the following order of priority, the requirements of each such fund (including the making up of any deficiencies in any such fund resulting from lack of Tax Increment Revenues sufficient to make any earlier required deposit) at the time of deposit to be satisfied before any deposit is made to any fund subsequent in priority:
(A) Interest Fund. On or before each Interest Payment Date, the Fiscal Agent shall deposit in the Interest Fund an amount equal to the aggregate amount of interest becoming due and payable on the Outstanding Bonds on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (excluding any interest for which there are moneys deposited in the Interest Fund from the proceeds of any Series of Bonds or other source and reserved as capitalized interest to pay such interest on such Interest Payment Date). No deposit need be made into the Interest Fund if the amount contained therein is at least equal to the interest to become due and payable on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (but excluding any moneys on deposit in the Interest Fund from the proceeds of any Series of Bonds or other source and reserved as capitalized interest to pay interest on any future Interest Payment Dates following such Interest Payment Date). (B) Principal Fund; Sinking Accounts. On or before each Principal Payment Date, the Fiscal Agent shall deposit in the Principal Fund an amount equal to (a) the aggregate amount of principal becoming due and payable on the Outstanding Serial Bonds of all Series on the next succeeding Principal Payment Date plus (b) the aggregate amount of the Mandatory Sinking Account Payments to be paid on the next succeeding Principal Payment Date into the 893
4894-8308-9618 34 IFD No. 1 Fiscal Agent Agreement
respective Sinking Accounts for the Term Bonds of all Series for which Sinking Accounts have been created; provided that, if the District certifies to the Fiscal Agent that any principal payments shall be refunded on or prior to their respective due dates, no amounts need be set aside towards such principal to be so refunded.
No deposit need be made into the Principal Fund so long as there shall be in such fund (i) moneys sufficient to pay the principal of all Serial Bonds issued hereunder and then Outstanding and maturing by their terms within the next twelve months plus (ii) the aggregate of all Mandatory Sinking Account Payments required to be made in such twelve-month period, but less any amounts deposited into the Principal Fund during such twelve-month period and theretofore paid from the Principal Fund to redeem or purchase Term Bonds during such twelve-month period, and less any principal payments to be refunded on or prior to their respective due dates. At the beginning of each Fiscal Year and in any event not later than July 15 of each year, the District shall provide to the Fiscal Agent a Certificate of the District setting forth the principal payments for which deposits will not be necessary pursuant to the preceding sentence and the reason therefor. (C) Bond Reserve Fund. On or before each Interest Payment Date, the Fiscal Agent shall deposit in the Bond Reserve Fund, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.7 (Funding and Application of Bond Reserve Fund), the amount required to restore the balance in the Bond Reserve Fund to an amount equal to the Bond Reserve Requirement. The Fiscal Agent shall promptly notify the District of any deficiencies in the Bond Reserve Fund. The Bond Reserve Fund may be maintained in the form of one or more separate sub-accounts which are established for the purpose of holding the proceeds of separate Series of Bonds in conformity with applicable provisions of the Tax Code.
(D) Surplus. The District shall not be obligated to deposit or cause to be deposited in the Tax Increment Fund in any Bond Year an amount of Tax Increment Revenues which, together with other available amounts in the Tax Increment Fund, exceeds the amounts required to be deposited into the Interest Fund, the Principal Fund, the Sinking Account and the Redemption Accounts and the Bond Reserve Fund in such Bond Year pursuant to this Section.
Once such amount of Tax Increment Revenues has been deposited in the Tax Increment Fund in any Bond Year, the remaining Tax Increment Revenues received in such Bond Year shall be deemed surplus and shall be transferred to the District to be returned to the City or, with the City’s express written permission, may be held by the District to be used for Administrative Expenses and any other authorized purpose under the Infrastructure Financing Plan and the IFD Law.
Section 7.5 Application of Interest Fund. All amounts in the Interest Fund shall be used and withdrawn by the Fiscal Agent solely for the purpose of paying interest on the Bonds as it shall become due and payable (including accrued interest on any Bonds purchased or redeemed prior to maturity pursuant to this Fiscal Agent Agreement). 894
4894-8308-9618 35 IFD No. 1 Fiscal Agent Agreement
Section 7.6 Application of Principal Fund; Sinking Accounts. (A) Application of Principal Fund. All amounts in the Principal Fund shall be used and withdrawn by the Fiscal Agent solely for the purpose of paying the principal of the Bonds when due and payable, except that all amounts in the Sinking Accounts shall be used and withdrawn by the Fiscal Agent solely to purchase or redeem or pay at maturity Term Bonds, as provided herein; and except that any amounts deposited in the Principal Fund for the payment of the Redemption Price on Bonds shall be used and withdrawn by the Fiscal Agent for the payment of such Redemption Price on the date fixed for the redemption of such Bonds. (B) Sinking Accounts. The Fiscal Agent shall establish and maintain within the Principal Fund a separate account for the Term Bonds of each Series and maturity, designated as the “ Sinking Account,” inserting therein the Series and maturity designation of such Bonds.
On the Business Day prior to any date upon which a Mandatory Sinking Account Payment is due, the Fiscal Agent shall transfer the amount of such Mandatory Sinking Account Payment from the Principal Fund to the applicable Sinking Account. With respect to each Sinking Account, on each Mandatory Sinking Account Payment date established for such Sinking Account, the Fiscal Agent shall apply the Mandatory Sinking Account Payment required on that date to the redemption (or payment at maturity, as the case may be) of Term Bonds of such Series and maturity for which such Sinking Account was established, upon the notice and in the manner provided in the Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement pursuant to which such Series of Bonds was created; provided that, at any time prior to giving such notice of such redemption, the Fiscal Agent shall, upon receipt of a Request of the District, apply moneys in such Sinking Account to the purchase of Term Bonds of such Series and maturity at public or private sale, as and when and at such prices (including brokerage and other charges, but excluding accrued interest, which is payable from the Interest Fund) as is directed by the District, except that the purchase price (excluding accrued interest) shall not exceed the principal amount thereof. If, during the twelve-month period immediately preceding said Mandatory Sinking Account Payment date, the Fiscal Agent has purchased Term Bonds of such Series and maturity with moneys in such Sinking Account, or, during said period and prior to giving said notice of redemption, the District has deposited Term Bonds of such Series and maturity with the Fiscal Agent, or Term Bonds of such Series and maturity were at any time purchased or redeemed by the Fiscal Agent from a source of funds allocable to said Mandatory Sinking Account Payment, such Term Bonds so purchased or deposited or redeemed shall be applied, to the extent of the full principal amount thereof, to reduce said Mandatory Sinking Account Payment.
Any amounts remaining in a Sinking Account when all of the Term Bonds for which such account was established are no longer Outstanding shall be withdrawn by the Fiscal Agent and transferred to the District for deposit into the Tax Increment Fund.
All Term Bonds purchased from a Sinking Account or deposited by the District with the Fiscal Agent in a twelve-month period ending July 31 shall be allocated first to the next succeeding Mandatory Sinking Account Payment for such Series and maturity of Term Bonds, then as a credit against such future Mandatory Sinking Account Payments for such Series and maturity of Term Bonds as may be specified in a Request of the District. All Term Bonds redeemed by the Fiscal Agent shall be credited to such future Mandatory Sinking Account Payments for such Series and maturity of Term Bonds as may be specified in a Request of the District. 895
4894-8308-9618 36 IFD No. 1 Fiscal Agent Agreement
Section 7.7 Funding and Application of Bond Reserve Fund. (A) Letter of Credit. In lieu of making the Bond Reserve Requirement deposit in compliance with Section 7.4 (Allocation of Tax Increment Revenues), or in replacement of moneys then on deposit in the Bond Reserve Fund (which shall be transferred by the Fiscal Agent to the District for deposit into the Tax Increment Fund), the District may deliver to the Fiscal Agent an irrevocable letter of credit certified by the District to be in compliance with this subsection.
Such irrevocable letter of credit shall be issued by a financial institution having unsecured debt obligations rated in one of the two highest Rating Categories of Moody’s and S&P, in an amount, together with moneys, Investment Securities, insurance policies, or surety bonds (as described in Section 7.7(B) (Insurance Policy)) on deposit in the Bond Reserve Fund, equal to the Bond Reserve Requirement. Such letter of credit shall have a term no less one (1) year or, if less, the maturity of the Series of Bonds in connection with which such letter of credit was obtained and shall provide by its terms that it may be drawn upon as provided in this Section. At least one month prior to the stated expiration of such letter of credit, the District shall either (i) deliver a replacement letter of credit, (ii) deliver an extension of the letter of credit for at least an additional year or, if less, the maturity of the Series of Bonds in connection with which such letter of credit was obtained, or (iii) deliver to the Fiscal Agent an insurance policy or surety bond satisfying the requirements of Section 7.7(B) (Insurance Policy). Upon delivery of such replacement letter of credit, extended letter of credit, insurance policy, or surety bond, the Fiscal Agent, at the written request of the District, shall deliver the then-effective letter of credit to or upon the order of the District. Alternatively, the District shall include in the Tax Increment Revenues to be collected the amount needed to restore the amount on deposit in the Bond Reserve Fund to an amount equal to the Bond Reserve Requirement by no later than one month prior to the stated expiration date of the letter of credit. If an amount equal to the Bond Reserve Requirement as of the date following the expiration of the letter of credit is not on deposit in the Bond Reserve Fund one month prior to the expiration date of the letter of credit (excluding from such determination the letter of credit), the Fiscal Agent shall draw on the letter of credit to fund the deficiency resulting therefrom in the Bond Reserve Fund. The Fiscal Agent shall have no obligation or responsibility whatsoever to evaluate or determine the sufficiency of any of the documents (including, without limitation, any letter of credit, replacement letter of credit, extended letter of credit, insurance policy or surety bond) provided under this Section 7.7(A) (Letter of Credit). (B) Insurance Policy. In lieu of making the Bond Reserve Requirement deposit in compliance with Section 7.4 (Allocation of Tax Increment Revenues), or in replacement of moneys then on deposit in the Bond Reserve Fund (which shall be transferred by the Fiscal Agent to the District for deposit into the Tax Increment Fund), the District may also deliver to the Fiscal Agent an insurance policy or surety bond certified in writing by the District to be in compliance with this Section 7.7 (B) (Insurance Policy). Such insurance policy or surety bond shall secure an amount, together with moneys, Investment Securities or letters of credit on deposit in the Bond Reserve Fund, no less than the Bond Reserve Requirement issued by an insurance company whose unsecured debt obligations (or for which obligations secured by such insurance company’s insurance policies or surety bonds) are rated at the time of delivery of the policy in one of the two highest Rating Categories of Moody’s and S&P. Such insurance policy or surety bond shall have a term of no less than the maturity of the Series of Bonds in connection with which such insurance policy or surety bond was obtained. In the event that such insurance policy or surety bond for any reason lapses or expires, the District shall immediately implement (i) or (iii) of the third sentence 896
4894-8308-9618 37 IFD No. 1 Fiscal Agent Agreement
of the preceding paragraph or make the required deposits to the Bond Reserve Fund. The Fiscal Agent shall have no obligation or responsibility whatsoever to evaluate or determine the sufficiency of any of the documents (including, without limitation, the insurance policy or surety bond) provided under this Section 7.7(B) (Insurance Policy). (C) Application of Bond Reserve Fund.
(1) Payment of Debt Service Deficiencies. All amounts in the Bond Reserve Fund (including all amounts that may be obtained from letters of credit, insurance policies, and surety bonds on deposit in the Bond Reserve Fund) shall be used and withdrawn by the Fiscal Agent, as hereinafter provided, solely for the purpose of making up any deficiency in the Interest Fund or the Principal Fund as of any Interest Payment Date or Principal Payment Date, as applicable. The portion of the Bond Reserve Fund held in cash or Investment Securities may be used (together with any other moneys available therefor) for the payment or redemption of all Bonds then Outstanding; such portion may also be used for the redemption of or the payment of the final principal and interest payment of a Series of Bonds if, following such redemption or payment, the amounts in the Bond Reserve Fund (including the amounts that may be obtained from letters of credit, insurance policies, and surety bonds on deposit therein) will equal the Bond Reserve Requirement.
The Fiscal Agent shall first draw on the portion of the Bond Reserve Fund held in cash or Investment Securities and then, on a pro rata basis with respect to the portion of the Bond Reserve Fund held in the form of letters of credit, insurance policies, and surety bonds (calculated by reference to the maximum amounts of such letters of credit, insurance policies, and surety bonds), draw on each letter of credit and collect under each insurance policy or surety bond issued with respect to the Bond Reserve Fund, in a timely manner and pursuant to the terms of such letter of credit, insurance policy, or surety bond to the extent necessary in order to obtain sufficient funds on or prior to the date such funds are needed to pay the principal of, Mandatory Sinking Account Payments with respect to, and interest on the Bonds when due.
(2) Repayment of Amounts Recovered as Preferences in Bankruptcy. If the Fiscal Agent has written notice that any payment of principal of or interest on a Bond has been recovered from a Bondowner pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code by a trustee in bankruptcy in accordance with the final, nonappealable order of a court having competent jurisdiction, the Fiscal Agent, pursuant to and provided that the terms of the letter of credit, insurance policy, or surety bond if any, securing the Bonds so provide, shall so notify the District thereof and draw on such letter of credit or collect under such insurance policy or surety bond to the lesser of the extent required or the maximum amount of such letter of credit, insurance policy, or surety bond in order to pay to such Bondowners the principal and interest so recovered. If and to the extent that the Bond Reserve Requirement is satisfied by a deposit of cash or Investment Securities and one or more letters of credit, insurance policies, or surety bonds (or any combination thereof), the Fiscal Agent shall first draw on the portion of the Bond Reserve Fund held in cash or Investment Securities and then make drawings under such letters of credit, insurance policies, or surety bonds shall be made on a pro rata basis (calculated by reference to the maximum amounts of such letters of credit, insurance policies, and surety bonds). The District shall reimburse draws upon any letter of credit, insurance policy, or surety bond that satisfies the Bond 897
4894-8308-9618 38 IFD No. 1 Fiscal Agent Agreement
Reserve Requirement in whole or in part in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any insurance agreement or reimbursement agreement between the District and the provider of such security instruments. Any such reimbursement shall only be made from Tax Increment Revenues.
(3) Reimbursement of Draws on Letters of Credit and Insurance Policies. If a drawing is made on a letter of credit, insurance policy, or surety bond, the Fiscal Agent shall use amounts deposited in the Bond Reserve Fund by the District following such draw first to make the payments required by the terms of the letter of credit, insurance policy, surety bond, or related reimbursement or loan agreement so that the letter of credit, insurance policy, or surety bond shall ( absent the delivery to the Fiscal Agent of a substitute letter of credit, insurance policy, or surety bond satisfying the requirements of this Section or the deposit in the Bond Reserve Fund of an amount sufficient to increase the balance in the Bond Reserve Fund to the Bond Reserve Requirement) be reinstated in the amount of such drawing within one year of the date of such drawing. After such reinstatement, the Fiscal Agent shall use amounts deposited in the Bond Reserve Fund by the District for the replenishment of the portion of Bond Reserve Fund held in cash or Investment Securities.
(4) Surplus Amounts. The Fiscal Agent shall transfer any amounts in the Bond Reserve Fund in excess of the Bond Reserve Requirement on March 1 and September 1 of each year, in accordance with instructions from the District, either for deposit into the Tax Increment Fund or to the Rebate Fund; provided that such amounts shall be transferred only from the portion of the Bond Reserve Fund held in the form of cash or Investment Securities.
Section 7.8 Rebate Fund. The Fiscal Agent shall, when required, establish and maintain a fund designated as the “Rebate Fund” separate from any other fund held by the Fiscal Agent. The Fiscal Agent shall deposit moneys into and disburse moneys from the Rebate Fund pursuant to written instructions from the District. The Fiscal Agent shall be deemed conclusively to have complied with the provisions of this Section and the Tax Certificate if it follows the instructions of the District, including to supply all necessary information in the manner specified in the Tax Certificate. The Fiscal Agent may rely conclusively upon the District’s determinations, calculations and certifications required by this Section. The Fiscal Agent shall have no responsibility to independently make any calculation or determination or to review the District’s calculations hereunder. In the absence of written instructions from the District, the Fiscal Agent shall not be required to take any action with respect to the Rebate Fund or the Tax Certificate and shall have no liability or responsibility to enforce compliance by the District with the terms of the Tax Certificate.
Section 7.9 Investment of Moneys in Funds and Accounts. All moneys in any of the funds and accounts held by the Fiscal Agent and established pursuant to this Fiscal Agent Agreement shall be invested solely as directed by the District, solely in Investment Securities. All Investment Securities shall, as directed by the District in writing, be acquired subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.10 (Federal Income Tax Covenants), the limitations as to maturities hereinafter in this Section set forth and such additional limitations or requirements consistent with the foregoing as may be established by Request of the District and not inconsistent 898
4894-8308-9618 39 IFD No. 1 Fiscal Agent Agreement
with the duties of the Fiscal Agent hereunder. In the absence of any written direction from the District, the Fiscal Agent shall invest, to the extent reasonably practicable any such moneys in item (a) of the second sentence in the definition of Investment Securities, which by their terms mature prior to the date on which such moneys are required to be paid out hereunder and otherwise hold such amounts uninvested; provided, however, that any such investment shall be made by the Fiscal Agent only if, prior to the date on which such investment is to be made, it shall have received a written direction specifying a specific money market mutual fund and, if no such written direction is so received, the Fiscal Agent shall hold such moneys uninvested.
Moneys in the Bond Reserve Fund shall be invested in Investment Securities maturing or available on demand within ten years of the date of such investment. Moneys in the remaining funds and accounts shall be invested in Investment Securities maturing or available on demand not later than the date on which it is estimated that such moneys will be required by the Fiscal Agent.
Unless otherwise provided in a Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement all interest, profits, and other income received from the investment of moneys in: (1) the Rebate Fund shall be deposited in the Rebate Fund, except as otherwise directed by the District in accordance with Section 8.10 (Federal Income Tax Covenants); (2) the Costs of Issuance Fund shall be deposited (or, with respect to any of these accounts or funds held by the Fiscal Agent, transferred by the Fiscal Agent) when received into the Tax Increment Fund, and (3) all other funds and accounts shall be deposited therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph, an amount of interest received with respect to any Investment Security equal to the amount of accrued interest, if any, paid as part of the purchase price of such Investment Security shall be credited to the fund or account from which such accrued interest was paid net of any excess paid to the District pursuant to section 7.7(C)(4) (Funding and Application of Bond Reserve Fund – Application of Bond Reserve Fund – Surplus) hereunder.
All Investment Securities credited to the Bond Reserve Fund shall be valued as of March 1 and September 1 of each year at their market value determined to the extent practical by a quotation service selected by the Fiscal Agent in its sole and absolute discretion, including those available through its regular accounting system.
The Fiscal Agent may commingle any of the funds or accounts established by the Fiscal Agent pursuant to this Fiscal Agent Agreement into a separate fund or funds for investment purposes only, provided that all funds or accounts held by the Fiscal Agent hereunder shall be accounted for separately as required by this Fiscal Agent Agreement.
The Fiscal Agent or any of its affiliates may act as principal or agent in the making or disposing of any investment made by the Fiscal Agent hereunder and, with the prior written consent of the District, may impose its customary charge therefor. The Fiscal Agent may sell, or present for redemption, any Investment Securities so purchased whenever it shall be necessary to provide moneys to meet any required payment, transfer, withdrawal or disbursement from the fund or account to which such Investment Security is credited, and the Fiscal Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss, fee, tax, or other charge incurred in connection with or resulting from such investment, reinvestment, or liquidation of an investment. The District acknowledges that, to the extent regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or other applicable regulatory entity grants the District the right to receive brokerage confirmations of security transactions as they 899

occur, the District specifically waives receipt of such confirmations to the extent permitted by law.

The Fiscal Agent shall not be required to determine the legality of any investments. The Fiscal Agent may make any investments hereunder through its own bond or investment department or trust investment department or those of its parent or any affiliate. Upon the District’s election, such statements will be delivered via the Fiscal Agent’s online service and upon electing such service, paper statements will be provided only upon request. The District understands that trade confirmation for securities transactions effected by the Fiscal Agent will be available upon request and at no additional cost and other trade confirmations may be obtained from the applicable broker.

The Fiscal Agent shall also provide to the District, in accordance with a Request of the District, with respect to each Investment Security transaction effected by the Fiscal Agent such documentation as is reasonably available to the Fiscal Agent and is required by the Code or other applicable law to be obtained by the District as evidence to establish that all investments have been acquired and disposed of on an established market in arm’s-length transactions at a price equal to their fair market value and with no amounts have been paid to reduce the yield on the investments, or shall be United States Treasury Obligations-State and Local Government Series as set forth in the Tax Certificate.
Section 7.10 Funds and Accounts. Any fund required by this Fiscal Agent Agreement to be established and maintained by the Fiscal Agent may be established and maintained in the accounting records of the Fiscal Agent either as a fund or an account and may, for the purposes of such records, any audits thereof and any reports or statements with respect thereto, be treated either as a fund or as an account; but all such records with respect to all such funds shall at all times be maintained in accordance with customary standards of the corporate trust industry, to the extent practicable, and with due regard for the protection of the security of the Bonds and the rights of every Owner thereof.
Section 7.11 Money Held for Particular Bonds. The money held by the Fiscal Agent for the payment of the interest, principal or Redemption Price due on any date with respect to particular Bonds (or portions of Bonds in the case of Bonds redeemed in part only) shall, on and after such date and pending such payment, be set aside on its books and held by it uninvested for the Owners of the Bonds entitled thereto, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 6.4 (Payment of Bonds After Discharge of Fiscal Agent Agreement). 900

ARTICLE VIII
COVENANTS OF THE DISTRICT
Section 8.1 Power to Issue Bonds and Make Pledge. The District is duly authorized pursuant to the IFD Law to issue the Bonds and to enter into this Fiscal Agent Agreement and to pledge the Tax Increment Revenues and other assets purported to be pledged under this Fiscal Agent Agreement and the Irrevocable Pledge in the manner and to the extent provided in this Fiscal Agent Agreement and the Irrevocable Pledge. The Bonds and the provisions of this Fiscal Agent Agreement are and will be the valid and binding limited obligations of the District in accordance with their terms.
Section 8.2 Limitations on Additional Indebtedness. The District shall not create any pledge, lien or charge upon any of the Eligible Revenues or other amounts pledged hereunder having priority over or having parity with the lien of the Bonds while any of the Bonds are Outstanding, except only as permitted in Section 4.1 (Issuance of Parity Bonds) Section 4.2 (Subordinate Debt) and Section 4.3 (Refunding Bonds).
Section 8.3 Enforcement of Irrevocable Pledge. The District hereby covenants to take such actions within its power as may be reasonable and necessary to compel the City to comply with the Irrevocable Pledge to transfer to the District, all of the Tax Increment Revenues in the amounts and at the times provided in this Fiscal Agent Agreement and in the Irrevocable Pledge and as permitted under the IFD Law.
Section 8.4 Punctual Payment and Performance. The District will punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal or Redemption Price and interest to become due in respect of all the Bonds, in strict conformity with the terms of the Bonds and of this Fiscal Agent Agreement, according to the true intent and meaning thereof, and shall punctually pay or cause to be paid all Mandatory Sinking Account Payments, but in each case only out of Tax Increment Revenues as provided in this Fiscal Agent Agreement. The District will faithfully observe and perform all of the conditions, covenants, and terms contained herein and in the Bonds required to be observed and performed by it.
Section 8.5 Extension of Payment of Bonds. The District will not directly or indirectly extend or assent to the extension of the maturity of any of the Bonds or the time of payment of any or claims for interest by any arrangement and in case the maturity of any of the Bonds or the time of payment of any such claims for interest shall be extended, such Bonds or claims for interest shall not be entitled, in case of any default hereunder, to the benefits of this Fiscal Agent Agreement, except subject to the prior payment in full of the principal of all of the Bonds then Outstanding and of all claims for interest thereon that shall not have been so extended. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to limit the right of the District to issue bonds for the purpose of refunding any Outstanding Bonds, and such issuance shall not be deemed to constitute an extension of maturity of Bonds.
Section 8.6 Compliance With Plan Limitations. The District hereby covenants that it shall not issue any bonds, notes or other obligations, enter into any agreement or otherwise incur any indebtedness, which is in any case payable from all or any part of the Tax Increment Revenues, excepting only the Series 2025 Bonds, any Parity Bonds, any Subordinate Debt, and any 901
4894-8308-9618 42 IFD No. 1 Fiscal Agent Agreement
obligations entered into pursuant to Section 8.14 (Maintenance of Tax Increment Revenues). The District shall take no action, including but not limited to the issuance of its bonds, notes or other obligations, which causes or which, with the passage of time would cause, any of the Plan Limitations to be exceeded or violated. The District shall manage its fiscal affairs in a manner which ensures that it will have sufficient Eligible Revenues available under the Plan Limitation described in clause (a) of the definition thereof (the “Increment Limit”) in the amounts and at the times required to enable the Fiscal Agent to pay the principal of and interest and premium (if any) on the Bonds when due. The District hereby agrees that the aggregate amount of Annual Debt Service remaining to be paid on all outstanding Bonds payable from Tax Increment Revenues shall at no time exceed 95% of the aggregate amount of Eligible Revenues which the District is permitted to receive under the Increment Limit. In the event that the aggregate amount of such Annual Debt Service at any time equals or exceeds 95% of Eligible Revenues which the District is permitted to receive under the Increment Limit, all Tax Increment Revenues thereafter received by the Fiscal Agent shall be deposited by the Fiscal Agent into the Interest Fund and Principal Fund to be applied for the sole purpose of paying the principal of and interest on the Bonds (including redemption thereof pursuant to this Fiscal Agent Agreement and any Supplemental Fiscal Agent Agreement, as applicable), notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and not later than July 1 of each succeeding Fiscal Year, the District shall cause to be prepared an accounting which shows the aggregate amount of Annual Debt Service remaining to be paid on all outstanding Bonds payable from Tax Increment Revenues, and the amount of Eligible Revenues which the District is permitted to receive under the Increment Limit and has not yet received.
Section 8.7 Preservation of Rights of Owners. The District, subject to the provisions of this Fiscal Agent Agreement, shall at all times, to the extent permitted by law, defend, preserve, and protect the pledge of Tax Increment Revenues and other assets and all the rights of the Bondholders under this Fiscal Agent Agreement against all claims and demands of all persons whomsoever.
Section 8.8 Waiver of Laws. The District will not at any time insist upon or plead in any manner whatsoever, or claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law now or at any time hereafter in force that may affect the covenants and agreements contained in this Fiscal Agent Agreement or in the Bonds, and all benefit or advantage of any such law or laws is hereby expressly waived by the District to the extent permitted by law.
Section 8.9 Federal Income Tax Covenants. The District shall at all times do and perform all acts and things permitted by law and this Fiscal Agent Agreement that are necessary and desirable in order to assure that interest paid on the Bonds will be excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and shall take no action that would result in such interest not being so excluded; provided that, prior to the issuance of any Series of Bonds, the District may exclude the application of the covenants contained in this Section to such Series of Bonds. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the District agrees to comply with the provisions of the Tax Certificate. This covenant shall survive the defeasance or payment in full of the Bonds.
Section 8.10 Accounting for Tax Increment Revenues. The District will at all times keep, or cause to be kept, proper books of record and account, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, in which complete and accurate entries shall be made of all transactions relating to the Tax Increment Revenues. Such books of record and accounts shall 902
4894-8308-9618 43 IFD No. 1 Fiscal Agent Agreement
at all times during business hours be subject to the Owners of not less than ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, or their representatives authorized in writing.
Section 8.11 RESERVED.
Section 8.12 Continuing Disclosure. The District will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of its Continuing Disclosure Certificate, as originally executed and as may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, neither failure of the District to comply with its Continuing Disclosure Certificate nor failure of a property owner to comply with its continuing disclosure undertaking shall be considered a default hereunder; provided that any Owner may take such actions as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking mandate or specific performance by court order, to cause the District to comply with its obligations under this section.
Section 8.13 Further Assurances. The District will adopt, make, execute and deliver any and all such resolutions, instruments and assurances as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out the intention or to facilitate the performance of this Fiscal Agent Agreement and for the better assuring and confirming unto the Owners of the Bonds of the rights and benefits provided in this Fiscal Agent Agreement.
Section 8.14 Maintenance of Tax Increment Revenues. The District shall comply with all requirements of the IFD Law and the Infrastructure Financing Plan to insure the allocation and payment of the Tax Increment Revenues pursuant to the Irrevocable Pledge. The District will not amend the Infrastructure Financing Plan in any manner which is likely to have the effect of reducing the amount of Tax Increment Revenues unless the District first obtains the report of an Independent Fiscal Consultant stating that, as of the effective date of such amendment, with respect to all Outstanding Bonds, the conditions precedent to the issuance of Parity Bonds set forth in Section 4.1 (Issuance of Parity Bonds) would be met. The District will not enter into any agreement with the City, the County, or any other governmental entity, which would have the effect of reducing the amount of Tax Increment Revenues, unless the requirements of this Section are met (treating such agreement or amendment as if it were an amendment to the Infrastructure Financing Plan); provided that nothing in this Section shall prevent the District from issuing or incurring Subordinate Debt.
The District shall use the proceeds of the Bonds so as to ensure that the Tax Increment Revenues may be used under the IFD Law for the purposes set forth herein. The covenant set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph is of a special and unique kind and character, and there would not be an adequate remedy at law for a breach of such covenant. Therefore, the District agrees that the covenant may be enforced by an action for specific performance and such other equitable relief as is provided by the laws of the State of California. In pursuing specific performance of such covenant, the party seeking to enforce such covenant shall be entitled to petition the court for injunctive relief, including, but not limited to, an order of the court restraining any use of the proceeds of the Bonds that is inconsistent with such covenant. 903

PRINCIPAL SUM: _____________________________________________________ DOLLARS The City West Sacramento Enhanced Infrastructure District No. 1 (Bridge District Area), an Infrastructure Financing District and a legally constituted governmental entity established pursuant to the laws of the State of California (the “District”), for value received, hereby promises to pay (but only out of the Tax Increment Revenues hereinafter referred to) to the registered owner named above or registered assigns, on the maturity date specified above, the principal sum specified above together with interest thereon from the date hereof until the principal hereof shall have been paid, at the interest rate per annum specified above, computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprising twelve 30-day months, payable on [March 1, 2025], and semiannually thereafter on March 1 and September 1 in each year. Interest hereon is payable in lawful money of the United States of America by check mailed on each interest payment date or, upon the written request of any Owner of $1,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Bonds who has provided the Fiscal Agent with wire transfer instructions, by wire transfer on each interest payment date to the registered owner as of the close of business on the 15th day of the calendar month immediately preceding such interest payment date. The principal hereof and premium, if any, hereon are payable at the corporate trust office of [FISCAL AGENT], as fiscal agent (together with any successor as fiscal agent under the hereinafter mentioned Fiscal Agent Agreement, the “Fiscal Agent”), in [FISCAL AGENT CITY], California, in lawful money of the United States of America.
This bond is one of a duly authorized issue of the City of West Sacramento Infrastructure Financing District No. 1 (Bridge District Area) Tax Increment Bonds (the “Bonds”), limited in aggregate principal amount to [$__________], except for refunding bonds, which issue consists or may consist of one or more series of varying denominations, dates, maturities, interest rates and other provisions, as provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement (as defined below), all issued and to be issued pursuant to the provisions of the Infrastructure Financing District Law (Sections 53395 918
4894-8308-9618 A-2 IFD No. 1 Fiscal Agent Agreement
et seq. of the Government Code of the State of California, as amended) (the “IFD Law”) and pursuant to a fiscal agent agreement dated [__________ 1, 2025], between the Fiscal Agent and the District (said fiscal agent agreement, as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Fiscal Agent Agreement”). This Bond is also one of a duly authorized series of Bonds additionally designated “Tax Increment Bonds, Series 2025,” issued in the aggregate principal amount of [$__________].
Reference is hereby made to the Fiscal Agent Agreement and to the IFD Law for a description of the terms on which the Bonds are issued and to be issued, the provisions with regard to the nature and extent of the Tax Increment Revenues (as that term is defined in the Fiscal Agent Agreement), and the rights of the registered owners of the Bonds. All the terms of the Fiscal Agent Agreement and the IFD Law are hereby incorporated herein and constitute a contract between the District and the registered owner from time to time of this Bond. The registered owner of this Bond, by its acceptance hereof, consents and agrees to all the provisions of the Fiscal Agent Agreement. Additional Bonds may be issued on a parity with the Bonds of this authorized issue, but only subject to the conditions and limitations contained in the Fiscal Agent Agreement.
The Bonds and the interest thereon (to the extent set forth in the Fiscal Agent Agreement) are payable from, and are secured by a charge and lien on, a portion of the property tax increment revenues generated from within the boundaries of the District to the District allocated to the District by the City pursuant the Irrevocable Pledge, the IFD Law, and the Infrastructure Financing Plan for IFD No. 1 (as more particularly defined in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the “Tax Increment Revenues”). All of the Bonds are equally secured by a pledge of, and charge and lien upon, all of the Tax Increment Revenues. The Tax Increment Revenues constitute a trust fund for the security and payment of the interest on and principal of the Bonds; but nevertheless out of Tax Increment Revenues certain amounts may be applied for other purposes as provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement.
The Bonds are limited obligations of the District and are payable, both as to principal and interest, and as to any premiums upon the redemption thereof, out of the Tax Increment Revenues and certain funds held by the Fiscal Agent under the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Bonds are not a debt of the City of West Sacramento, the County of Yolo, the State of California, or any of its political subdivisions (other than the District). The Bonds are not secured by a legal or equitable pledge of, or charge, lien or encumbrance upon, any of the property of the District or any of its income or receipts, except the Tax Increment Revenues. No registered owner of this Bond shall ever have the right to compel any exercise of the taxing power (other than as described above) of the District to pay this Bond or the interest hereon.

BACKGROUND
The City Council adopts a biennial budget every two years. On June 28, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution 23-58 approving the O&M and CIP budgets for fiscal years 2023/24 and 2024/25.
Adopting a biennial budget allows for efficiencies of scale as the lengthy, detailed process of developing a budget happens every two years rather than annually. With that gap between budget adoption and the beginning of the second budget year comes new information, which often requires appropriation considerations between budget cycles. For this reason, City staff perform a midterm budget review near the end of the first budget year to request necessary adjustments to the second year of the budget. The midterm process typically begins around February, allowing time for a midterm budget workshop in May and adoption of the midterm budget in June, before the start of the new fiscal year. This year, because the FY 2024/25 budget has already been adopted by the City Council, it is not required for Council to consider midterm budget adjustments prior to the start of the fiscal year.
Throughout the past fiscal year, the City Council has approved memoranda of understanding with all labor groups, all with impacts to the FY 2024/25 budget and beyond. On January 18, 2024, the City Council approved mid-year budget amendments for FY 2023/24, and at that time updated revenue projections were provided for the General Fund for FY 2024/25; however, the Council was not asked to approve adjustments to FY 2024/25 revenues at that time.
The following month, departments began evaluating the adopted FY 2024/25 budget to identify additional needs not addressed in the adopted budget, including increasing utility, fuel, maintenance, and other materials and service costs. This report is the result of that work.
This year, to make the report more digestible and improve transparency, the body of the report is structured as a high-level summary designed to help the reader understand the City’s overall budget posture. Granular data 929 Resolution 24-92 Midterm Budget, Ordinance 24-10 Council Compensation August 21, 2024
underlying the summary numbers are available in the attachments. Attachment 1 provides a detailed update of the General Fund budget to actuals and projections for FY 2023/24 and available capacity for funding new requests for FY 2024/25. The Analysis section of this report provides an update of the General Fund budget to actuals and projections for FY 2023/24 and available capacity for funding new requests for FY 2024/25. A summary of the midterm budget requests is also provided, along with a summary of fund balances before and after funding the proposed adjustments.
In addition, pursuant to City Personnel Rules, Section 3.4, each position in the City is required to be assigned to an appropriate classification. For each classification, a written description of the classification is required to be prepared by the City Manager and approved by the City Council. The description must include the official title of the classification, and the minimum qualifications required for admission in the classification. When new classifications are added or changes in duties and responsibilities or qualifications for existing classifications are required, the City Council must approve such descriptions.
The pay schedule establishes the monthly and annual salary ranges for all regular authorized positions as well as the pay schedule for the Mayor, City Council members, and all extra help positions in the City. CalPERS requires the City to bring updated pay schedules to the City Council whenever there are changes to the salary ranges or job titles. CCR 570.5 specifies the required elements necessary to meet the definition of a publicly available pay schedule. For purposes of determining the amount of “compensation earnable” pursuant to GC sections 20630, 20636, and 20636.1, the payrate shall be limited to the amount listed on a pay schedule that meets all of the following requirements:
1. Has been duly approved and adopted by the employer’s governing body in accordance with requirements of applicable public meetings laws;
2. Identifies the position title for every employee position;
3. Shows the payrate for each identified position, which may be stated as a single amount or as multiple amounts within a range;
4. Indicates the time base, including, but not limited to, whether the time base is hourly, daily, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, or annually;
5. Is posted at the office of the employer or immediately accessible and available for public review from the employer during normal business hours or posted on the employer’s internet website;
6. Indicates an effective date and date of any revisions;
7. Is retained by the employer and available for public inspection for not less than five years; and
8. Does not reference another document in lieu of disclosing the payrate.
All eight (8) requirements must be met in one salary schedule for each member’s pay, for CalPERS to approve the pay amount as payrate and reportable compensation earnable.
The City also maintains Benefits Summaries which contain information regarding benefits offered to the various employee groups. When updates to Benefits Summaries are proposed, they are presented to the Council for consideration and approval. The Benefits Summaries attached include updates to the salary and benefits for the unrepresented employee groups. The unrepresented groups’ benefits are typically revisited every two years with the biennial budget adoption.
Relatedly, the City Council considers and approves a list of authorized positions each fiscal year as part of the budget process. The Authorized Position List identifies the number of positions and their respective classification titles by budget unit. Staff must bring an updated APL to the City Council for approval whenever there are changes to the number(s) of positions or budget unit(s).
ANALYSIS
Since the budget workshop last month, a handful of changes have been made to what is proposed to move forward at this time. Updated revenue projections for FY 2023/24 have resulted in reductions to the proposed revenue increases for FY 2024/25 for the General Fund of $467,925.
Additionally, amounts for existing requests have been updated, a few new requests have been added, and changes in funding sources for a small handful of requests are proposed to ensure the budget and each fund remains balanced after adoption of the proposed adjustments. In all, there are $5,236,110.51 in additional budget requests, primarily attributed to appropriating the fund balance available in the EIFD fund now that the PFA has adopted budget policies for the EIFD allowing those funds to be spent. Total adjustments for the EIFD fund are $4.8 million of the total changes. Other notable changes are an increase of $220,000 for the State Streets Pavement Rehabilitation project and a $200,000 budget for the Bridge District IFD fund to pay for judicial validation action in advance of issuing bonds.

Attachment 2 provides the detailed list of changes since the workshop in July.
This remainder of this section contains summary analyses of the key funds comprising the City’s budget, along with a discussion of the proposed amendment to Title 2 of the Municipal Code, and largely provides the same narrative, though with updated information, from the budget workshop.
General Fund
The City’s General Fund budget is in surplus, but the Council must decide how much of that surplus to spend on midterm adjustments. Due to revenues that are projected to come in $6,192,817 higher than budget, staff is projecting an initial budget surplus of $3,165,717 for FY 2024/25 before any of the additional midterm adjustments discussed in this report are subtracted. Several increased expenditures during the year, including new memoranda of understanding with multiple labor groups, have resulted in this expected surplus being $293,065 smaller than budgeted. Table 1 summarizes General Fund revenues and expenses prior to proposed midterm expenditure adjustments.
Table 1: Projected FY 24/25 Surplus is Smaller than Expected As shown in Table 2, the General Fund is projected to have a surplus of $1,732,041 (approximately 2% of annual General Fund expenditures) after approval of midterm budget proposals, including estimated cost allocation impacts of those proposals.
Table 2: Proposed Midterm Budget Adjustments Would Reduce FY 2024/25 Operating Surplus to $1.7 Million This report recommends Council approval of $1,151,847 in ongoing O&M budget adjustments to account for expenses that were not included in the current budget. These proposed adjustments all partially address the City’s ongoing challenges with operational gaps in our public safety and maintenance departments. When these adjustments are accounted for, along with associated cost allocation adjustments of $281,830, the net General Fund revenue surplus for FY 2024/25 is expected to be $1,732,041. However, as noted later in this report, this ongoing funding capacity is projected to be absorbed in the next two-year budget to cover increased costs associated with approved labor MOUs and other rising costs.
Some of the proposed mid-term budget expenses are one-time costs such as CIP projects that are measured against the City’s one-time fund balance. As shown in Table 3, the City’s available fund balance is estimated at $6,757,241. The sum of the one-time requests being proposed is $6,518,236. Council approval of the onetime requests described in this report would leave an ending fund balance of $239,005.

Resolution 24-92 Midterm Budget, Ordinance 24-10 Council Compensation August 21, 2024
The General Fund, after funding costs related to labor negotiations and MOU and benefit summary updates, and after funding the proposed midterm budget adjustments, is expected to end the fiscal year with a net surplus of $1.7 million and an available fund balance of $239,005.
General Fund Operational Gaps
While staff believe that this surplus and projected fund balance are sufficient to allow the Council to prudently approve the proposed mid-term budget adjustments, it is important to note that, after funding approved labor MOUs and the rising cost of doing business as usual, the General Fund revenue surplus would be fully appropriated. Thus, there were approximately $4.8 million in requests for funding in this mid-year budget that are proposed to be delayed, mostly due to lack of funding capacity. Many of the requests are to fund operational gaps and necessary positions. Moreover, even with significant increases in projected General Fund revenues, the projected General Fund capacity is not enough to make significant progress toward addressing residents’ growing expectations for public services and maintenance of public infrastructure, including roads and public safety, which are part of the basis for the City Council placing a Transaction and Use Tax on the November 2024 ballot.
Ballot Measure Funds
Ballot measure funds continue to be an engine for quality-of-life improvements in the City of West Sacramento.
While revenues in these funds are projected to end lower than originally expected, as shown in Table 4 below, staff projects that all ballot measure funds will end FY 2024/25 with positive fund balances.
Table 4: Ballot Measure Funds Are Balanced
The ballot measure funds are an indispensable aid as the Council strives to align City programs, projects and services with the needs of a growing community. After approval of midterm budget proposals for FY 2024/25, $17,736,915 is budgeted across these funds for annual O&M costs for the voter approved categories of funding as well as several projects, including recreation center improvements, road rehabilitation projects, improvements at Alyce Norman Park ballfields, and development and implementation of a small business accelerator program to name a few. Analyses of past year uses of ballot measure funds is available on the City’s website at https://wsac.city/accountability.
Amendment to Title 2 of the Municipal Code Related to Council Compensation As the City has grown, the demands on its elected officials have expanded as well. The City’s transition to district-based elections has accelerated this trend by encouraging residents to focus their requests and inquiries on the single Councilmember elected to represent their district. While this increased engagement is welcome and good for the City, it impacts the City’s elected officials, each of whom has personal and professional responsibilities outside of their service to the community. Councilmembers are also required to spend a Ballot Measure

Resolution 24-92 Midterm Budget, Ordinance 24-10 Council Compensation August 21, 2024
significant amount of time serving on other agency boards of which the City is a member, without additional compensation for their time attending and preparing for board meetings.
Government Code Section 36516 governs the compensation that California cities may provide elected officials.
The City’s Municipal Code, which is tied to this section of Government Code, sets the Council’s current compensation at $300 per month. In 2023, the State Legislature amended Government Code Section 36516.
The updated law allows compensation of up to $1,600 per month for cities like West Sacramento with populations between 50,000 and 75,000.
Staff recommends that the Council approve Ordinance 24-10, which would amend Title 2 of the Municipal Code to set Council compensation at $1,600 per month, as allowed by Government Code Section 36516. The City is fortunate to have a legacy of extremely capable leaders, who have devoted many hours each month to City business, including preparing for and attending meetings, interacting with residents and staff, and representing the City at various functions. Increasing Council compensation as allowed by State law will help ensure that residents from all walks of life will be able to serve the community as elected officials and receive a more meaningful offset for the personal and professional impacts this enormous time commitment entails. If approved, the increase in compensation would go into effect after the 2024 election, when the new Council term begins.
Mid-Term Budget Proposals for FY 2024/25
Total midterm budget requests propose increased revenues of $5.3 million and grant awards of $5.6 million, for total new revenues of $10.9 million to fund $26.8 million in capital projects, $2.8 million in ongoing annual expenses, and $3.5 million in one-time operating expenditures across all City funds for FY 2024/25, resulting in a net ask of City funds of $22.2 million. Attachment 2 provides a summary of midterm budget impacts by fund, if the midterm budget is approved.

ATTACHMENT 1 – GENERAL FUND UPDATE
1-1
The General Fund is projected to end FY 2023/24 with $81.0 million in ongoing revenues to cover $74.0 million in ongoing expenses, resulting in a projected operating surplus of $7.0 million.
Almost every revenue source within the General Fund is projected to come in over budget, the largest of which is the expected reimbursement from employees charging time to capital projects (salary and benefits) and the ICAP (federally approved cost allocation) reimbursement that is applied to those direct labor charges.
Total Work Order (WO) and ICAP Reimbursement revenues are expected to be over the budgeted amount by nearly $2.3 million for the year. This revenue can be volatile, changing significantly year by year based on the number of project management positions filled, the time spent directly managing projects vs performing administrative duties, time-off taken, etc. The ICAP rate for FY 2024/25 is nearly the same as the FY 2023/24 rate, so it is assumed that, all else being equal, this revenue source will come in close to the same amount for this fiscal year.
Other revenues expected to come in over the budgeted amount include property tax, expected at $1,165,212 over budget; sales tax, projected to come in $1,754,167 over budget; TOT, projected at $175,000 over budget, and other revenues, which, in total, are expected to end the year $1,765,970 over the budgeted amount.
One-time General Fund revenues are projected to end the year at $763,000, and one-time expenses are projected to total $14.8 million for the fiscal year. When combined with ongoing General Fund revenues of $81 million and ongoing expenses of $74 million, this results in an overall projected use of fund balance of $7.1 million for the fiscal year.
The tables in this Attachment provide the revenue and expenditure budgets, actual transactions posted through June 30, 2024, and projections by category for FY 2023/24 as well as the adopted budget and revised revenue and expenditure estimates for FY 2024/25 to determine capacity for midterm General Fund budget requests. These numbers are unaudited, and do not include yearend accounting entries or accruals for revenues due or expenditures owed for services and products received through June 30, 2024. Finance staff, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and pronouncements by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), accrue revenues and expenses for products and services rendered and received during the fiscal year so they are posted to the fiscal year in which the revenue is due or the expenditure owed. This is not only required, but provides for more consistent reporting year over year, and a better picture of what it costs the City to operate on an annual basis.
The General Fund began FY 2023/24 with nearly $17.3 million in total available fund balance.
This balance was appropriated, almost completely, for one-time infrastructure and project costs over the biennial budget period (July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2025). As a result of the net use of $7.1 million for FY 2023/24, the balance available as of July 1, 2024 is estimated at $10.2 million. $5.2 million of that has already been appropriated for one-time projects in FY 2024/25, leaving $5.0 million in new capacity available for midterm one-time budget requests, before considering revenue projections for FY 2024/25.

ATTACHMENT 1 – GENERAL FUND UPDATE
1-4
As a result of increased revenues projected for FY 2023/24, General Fund ongoing revenues are projected to come in $6,192,817 over the adopted budget for FY 2024/25. As with FY 2023/24 revenues, the largest single adjustment is $2,105,096 in Work Order/ICAP billing revenues reimbursing the General Fund for project management time charged directly to capital projects.
Other revenue categories for which increases are proposed include property tax, sales tax, TOT, other taxes, charges for service, and other revenues. Total revenues for FY 2024/25 are expected at $81.6 million to cover $78.4 million in expenses, resulting in a projected net surplus of $2.75 million prior to consideration of midterm budget adjustments proposed in this report.
As previously mentioned, $5.2 million is already appropriated for one-time costs, including contributions to several capital projects, resulting in an approved use of fund balance of nearly $3.2 million for the fiscal year. This leaves an ending fund balance estimated at $8.2 million as of June 30, 2025 prior to consideration of midterm budget adjustments. Keeping in mind that recently approved MOUs for various labor groups include general salary increases and other benefit adjustments totaling over $1.3 million in additional ongoing annual expenses over the next couple of years, and the fact that additional MOUs expire over the term of the current fiscal year, the City’s operational funds require additional capacity in future fiscal years, limiting the ongoing capacity available to fund midterm budget requests.
The General Reserve remains funded at a minimum of 17% of General Fund annual revenues, ending FY 2024/25 at an estimated 17.31% of revenues, or $14.1 million. The Budget Stabilization reserve maintains a balance of $2.4 million and the Staffing Continuity Reserve has remained untouched at $500,000, leaving total reserves of $17,071,767, excluding the General Fund available balance.
The one-time balance projected to be available to fund midterm budget proposals in the General Fund is $8.2 million.
Table 2 provides the General Fund budget, projections, and proposed adjustments for FY 2024/25 prior to consideration of midterm budget adjustments proposed in this report. The adjustment to transfers out from the General Fund is expected adjustments to the cost allocation to the General Fund based on MOU and midyear budget adjustments approved by City Council over the course of the last fiscal year.

ATTACHMENT 2 – MIDTERM BUDGET SUMMARY
2-1
The net impact of midterm budget proposals is $22 million in City funding sources. The proposed midterm budget includes $5.3 million in new revenues across various funds, primarily the General Fund, to offset $2.7 million in ongoing annual expenses, $3.4 million in one-time operating expenses, and $21.2 million in new funding for capital projects. An additional $5.6 million in new grant funding has been awarded for a handful of transportation related projects. A positive number in the net impact column signifies an increase in expenses. A negative number signifies a net increase in revenue or overall reduction in expense for the fund.

There are several changes proposed to the midterm budget since the workshop last month.
Updated revenue projections for FY 2023/24 have resulted in reductions to the proposed revenue increases for FY 2024/25 for the General Fund of $467,925.
Additionally, amounts for existing requests have been updated, a few new requests have been added, and funding sources for a small handful of requests are proposed to change to ensure the budget and each fund remains balanced after adoption of the proposed adjustments. In all, there are $5,236,110.51 in additional budget requests, primarily attributed to appropriating the fund balance available in the EIFD fund now that the PFA has adopted budget policies for the EIFD allowing those funds to be spent. Total adjustments for the EIFD fund are $4.8 million of the total changes. Other notable changes are an increase of $220,000 for the State Streets Pavement Rehabilitation project and a $200,000 budget for the Bridge District IFD fund to pay for judicial validation action in advance of issuing bonds.
Table 2 provides a detailed listing of the changes in the midterm budget proposed today from what was reviewed with Council last month at the budget workshop. 943

Revised Revenue Projections for FY 2024/25
General Fund and tax measure revenues were reviewed by Finance staff in coordination with the City’s revenue consultants, and updated revenue forecasts are provided for the General Fund, the City’s Transaction and Use (TUT) Sales Tax Measure funds (K, V, E, and N), and two other funds.
The General Fund proposed adjustments result in an expected increase in General Fund revenue of just under $6.2 million for the fiscal year. Property Tax revenues are expected to come in nearly $1.2 million over budget due to significant housing sales activity over the past couple of years.
Additionally, Sales Tax revenues are anticipated to come in nearly $1.4 million over budget for the fiscal year, projected to make a full recovery from the reductions seen in FY 2023/24, though not yet reaching the level of revenue expected prior to experiencing the revenue loss. The Work Order/ICAP reimbursement revenue (reimbursement to the General Fund for project management staff charging time to capital projects) is expected to come in at nearly $6.0 million, an increase of $2.1 million over budget.
Outside of the General Fund, the TUT tax measure funds each expect revenue reductions due to a decrease in TUT revenues projected by our consultant, and as seen over the past two years.
Reductions of $180,566 are expected in each of the Measure K and Measure V funds. Measure E fund expects a reduction of $115,155 from budgeted revenues, and Measure N, which had an error in the originally adopted revenue budget, as a proposed reduction to the revenue budget of $477,300. TUT revenues are expected to come in just over $5.2 million each for FY 2024/25.
Discovery Preschool is expecting to implement a minor increase in tuition, as approved by Council in a previous year. That increase, along with a true-up of the revenue budget to actual trends, results in an estimated $24,000 increase to the revenue budget. That increase in revenues is necessary and does not fully fund the cost of the program. Decision Package 592 (DP-00592) requests both a one-time and ongoing annual subsidy for the preschool program to fund the difference between the expected tuition revenue and the expected cost of the program.
In prior years, the Port contributed $25,000 annually toward the significant costs to clean-up and maintain the Stone Lock property. This revenue has not historically been budgeted; however, given the request for funds for maintenance of the Stone Lock property (DP-00578), staff felt it prudent to budget the expected revenue for FY 2024/25 which would be available to offset the Measure G fund contribution toward maintenance of the property.
Table 1 provides the budget, projections, fund, and proposed adjustment for each revenue source for which an adjustment is proposed.

ATTACHMENT 4 – FY 2024/25 POSITION CHANGES
4-1
New Positions
There were ten (10) new position requests in the midterm budget; however, most position requests have been delayed for future consideration due to lack of ongoing funding capacity. The majority of new position requests were positions that would be funded by the General Fund, which, as described in Attachment 1 has limited ongoing funding capacity given the future year impacts of approved MOUs and upcoming MOU expirations.
Three new positions are proposed at this time, including a much-needed Finance Specialist for the Police Department (General Fund), a Community Investment Principal Planner in the Economic Development and Housing Department (Measure G Fund), and an Administrative Analyst in the Parks and Recreation Department (General Fund). In addition, due to a planned reorganization of the Flood Division, a new Flood Protection Manager was added in CMO, which would become the new division-level manager upon the retirement of the Flood General Manager and the Flood Division moves into the Capital Projects Department in January 2025. All requests that impact the Authorized Position List (APL) for the City are detailed in this attachment.
Part-Time/Extra-Help
There are two requests for additional funding for part-time staffing, for a total of $41,550 annually in the General Fund. The first is for $17,550 in additional funding for additional hours for the extrahelp EOC Coordinator position, and $24,000 requested to add part-time intern support to the GIS/Mapping Team in the Capital Projects department.
Position Reclassifications/Upgrades
There are two reclassification requests recommended by Human Resources, both in the City Manager’s Office. The reclassifications proposed would create additional cost of $7,836 annually in the General Support Services fund and $9,568 annually in the Measure E Fund – Home Run category.
The reclassification of the Senior Human Resources Analyst to Human Resources Manager is recommended to support the increased demand for more complex and advanced work, oversight and innovation needed to be performed independently. The elevated position more accurately represents the level of work that is currently being conducted. The level of sophisticated expertise and experience required to formulate, prepare, implement, improve, and maintain HR/Payroll practices, guidelines, technology, and systems (recruitment, benefit administration, payroll, performance management, onboarding, etc.) for continuous organizational support and growth, emphasize the need for this position.
The Business Manager reclassification to Home Run Manager classification is recommended to manage the increased responsibility required for the oversight, management, and expansion of City’s West Sacramento Home Run programs, principally program design, hiring of staff, budgeting, grant applications and maintenance, strategic planning, enrollment growth compliance with City Council mandates, contract creation and compliance for the 6 programs. Work required to ensure collaboration with our school district, community college, city, county and state agencies, other City departments, and community-based organizations has increased.
Specialized knowledge of education and workforce development initiatives in local, county, regional, state, and national arenas is required to ensure efficacy and impact of programs and speaks to the need for a Division Manager-level position.
Position Funding Changes
Two position funding changes are proposed to properly realign the funding with the functions/duties of the positions. First, the Program Manager that was previously split 50%/50% between the City Manager’s office and the Port has been transferred to the Port 100%. The Port Commission approved the additional funding in their June meeting, resulting in savings of $80,191 to the City’s General Support Services fund.
The Administrative Analyst in the City Manager’s office, previously expected to manage grants on a Citywide basis, has been reprogrammed to provide support to City Councilmembers and the City Manager’s office, managing programs like the Community Academy and other community 947

outreach efforts and special projects. As a result, the midterm budget proposes to shift this position entirely to the City Manager’s office, General Support Services fund, relieving $88,258 in annual Measure E funding. The net impact on the General Support Services fund for these two position funding changes is an increase in cost of $8,067 annually.
Net impacts of the above-described position-related requests are an increase of 3.0 FTE and $492,785 in ongoing costs, as shown in the Table 1 below.

ATTACHMENT 5 – FY 2024/25 MIDTERM OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE 5-1
This attachment provides a summary of O&M midterm budget proposals by category. The detailed budget requests may be found in Attachment 4 of the FY 2024/25 Midterm Budget Workshop Report located here. The Attachment starts with a summary list of proposed adjustments. The first column on each summary page includes a reference number. Behind the summary page are detailed pages for each request. These requests are numbered, and the number in the first column of the summary page corresponds to the number at the top of each detailed request page. Council and citizens alike are encouraged to read through the detailed proposals to understand more about each of the requests, why they are being proposed now, and what is intended to be accomplished with the additional funding requested as part of the proposed midterm budget.
FY 2024/25 Midterm O&M Budget Proposals
Department requests proposed for Council consideration with the midterm budget include $3.5 million in one-time funding and $2.3 million in ongoing funding across City funding sources.
Personnel Related
In addition to the position-related requests which impact the APL described in Attachment 3, personnelrelated requests total $440,000 in one-time funds and $727,553 in annual costs. Included in this category are $60,000 annually for health and wellness screenings for firefighters, $66,500 to fund the first increase in Council compensation since the City’s incorporation in 1987, $200,000 in one-time funds to pilot a downpayment assistance program for West Sacramento Police Officers, and $240,000 to implement lateral police officer hiring incentives. Additionally, there is a proposal to eliminate both the annual OPEB contribution and the reimbursement from the OPEB trust that was budgeted in this biennial budget for the first time. This reimbursement from the trust will be brought back for consideration after the actuarial report is updated to contemplate this annual reimbursement to ensure no unanticipated impacts to the City’s OPEB funding status.
The proposed increase to Council compensation is detailed in Decision Package 650, included in Attachment 4, and the Ordinance is included as Attachment 8. While the Ordinance would be effective 30 days after adoption, any change to Council compensation will be effective when Councilmembers are sworn in after the election.
Technology & Software Related
Technology related proposals total $81,918 in one-time costs and $495,097 in annual appropriations.
One-time costs include funding for new registration software for the recreation center, virtual server and network infrastructure end of life replacement, and tablet purchases for parks and rec staff. Ongoing proposals include funding to cover cost increases in maintenance costs for existing software, including fleet GPS, a Tower transmitter lease to add an additional tower for reading water meter data, and translation software.
Vehicles & Equipment
The Vehicles and Equipment category proposes the largest category of one-time appropriation requests ($1.6 million), including $750,000 from the water fund to replace an end-of-life HydroExcavator truck, $132,000 to replace the 17-year old dilapidated Electrical Technician van, $277,500 to replace fire department radios and SCBA air fill stations and equipment, $160,000 for an additional 8-months of HVAC rental costs for City Hall while the new HVAC unit is constructed and installed, and new and replacement vehicles for Capital Projects staff and Parks Maintenance staff. These vehicles were originally budgeted as leases; however, Enterprise has had significant trouble finding and procuring the vehicles we need, resulting in the need to fund these as purchases which we can more quickly procure from a local dealership through the state cooperative contract. Ongoing annual costs total $168,000 and include $150,000 annually toward a lease financing payment for a new Fire Pumper to replace a 26-year old pumper.
Supplies & Services
The supplies and services category includes $1.3 million in one-time funding requests and $561,700 annually across several funds. One-time appropriation requests include $100,000 for a development review process evaluation and innovation plan, $150,000 for a Citywide Arts Master plan, $116,014 in additional Measure E funding for the Home Run paid internship program, $65,000 in tree mitigation funds for the shade tree and urban forest revival program, $75,000 for development of a GIS Master Plan, 950
ATTACHMENT 5 – FY 2024/25 MIDTERM OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE 5-2
Social Equity training for Capital Projects staff, $50,000 for efforts to remove abandoned vessels at the boat dock, one-time funding in the IFD and EIFD funds for judicial validation actions and other services to prepare for issuing bonds, and $22,000 for exterior painting of the apparatus bay at Fire Station 42.
Ongoing annual requests include $384,300 for the newly established Real Property division, and a handful of smaller requests (under $30K each) for operating costs at the West Gateway Place annex, after hours records support for the Police Department, additional funding for backup contract support for Fire Plan Review, septic pumping service at the soon to open Southport Levee Trailhead, and cost increases for Verizon, wildlife services, and animal services.
Other
The Other category has total appropriations requested of $462,067 annually and includes things like reducing the O&M budgets in the CFD cost centers to balance the budgets, increasing budgets for insurance premiums, increases in landfill costs, and a one-time and annual subsidy from Measure E to continue providing quality preschool education at an affordable cost for West Sacramento residents.
Department requests proposed for Council consideration with the midterm budget include $3.5 million in one-time funding and $2.3 million in ongoing funding across several City funds.
