LEGAL OPINIONS
The proposed form of Bond Counsel’s approving opinion with respect to the Series 2025 Bonds is attached hereto in APPENDIX B—FORM OF OPINION OF BOND COUNSEL. In addition to those matters opined on by Bond Counsel, certain legal matters will be passed on for the IFD by Lozano Smith LLP, in its capacity as Disclosure Counsel and by Kronick Moskovitz Tiedemann & Girard LLP, Sacramento, California, in its capacity as general counsel to the IFD.
Certain legal matters will be passed on for the Underwriters by Kutak Rock LLP, Los Angeles, California, in its capacity as Underwriter’s Counsel.
LITIGATION
There is no action, suit or proceeding known to the IFD to be pending and notice of which has been served upon and received by the IFD, or threatened, restraining or enjoining the execution or delivery of the Series 2025 Bonds or the Fiscal Agent Agreement or in any way contesting or affecting the validity of the foregoing or any proceedings of the IFD taken with respect to any of the foregoing.
NO RATING
The IFD has not made, and does not intend to make, any application for the assignment of a rating to the Series 2025 Bonds.
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
The IFD has covenanted for the benefit of Owners of the Series 2025 Bonds to provide certain financial information and operating data relating to the IFD (the “Annual Reports”) by not later than April 1 after the end of the IFD’s fiscal year (the current end of the IFD’s fiscal year is on June 30), commencing with the report for the 2024-25 fiscal year (which is due no later than March 31, 2026) and notice of the occurrence of certain enumerated events (“Listed Events”) within 10 business days after the occurrence of such a Listed Event. The Annual Report will be filed by the IFD with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the “MSRB”). The specific nature of the information to be made available in the Annual Reports and to be contained in the notices of certain enumerated events is set forth in APPENDIX D—FORM OF CONTINUING DISCLOSURE CERTIFICATE. These covenants have been made in order to assist the Underwriters in complying with S.E.C. Rule 15c2-12(b)(5) (the “Rule”).
The IFD has no prior continuing disclosure obligations under the Rule. [VERIFY] In the past five years, the City has complied in all material respects with respect to prior continuing disclosure obligations under the Rule.
EXHIBIT D
739
4934-9230-1063 -69-
In order to promote compliance by the IFD with respect to its continuing disclosure obligations, the City has adopted disclosure policies, and the IFD has retained Willdan Financial Services to serve as the dissemination agent under the Continuing Disclosure Certificate for the Series 2025 Bonds. See APPENDIX D—FORM OF CONTINUING DISCLOSURE CERTIFICATE.
A failure by the IFD to comply with the Rule will not constitute an event of default with respect to the Series 2025 Bonds. Nevertheless, such a failure must be reported in accordance with the Rule and must be considered by any broker, dealer, or municipal securities dealer before recommending the purchase or sale of the Series 2025 Bonds in the secondary market.
Consequently, such a failure may adversely affect the transferability and liquidity of the Series 2025 Bonds and their market price.

$______________
CITY OF WEST SACRAMENTO
INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 1
(Bridge District Area)
TAX INCREMENT BONDS, SERIES 2025
Members of the City Council:
We have acted as bond counsel to the City of West Sacramento Infrastructure Financing District No. 1 (Bridge District Area) (the “District”), in connection with the issuance by the District of its Tax Increment Bonds, Series 2025 (the “Bonds”). In such capacity, we have examined such law and such certified proceedings, certifications, opinions and other documents as we have deemed necessary to render this opinion.
The Bonds are issued pursuant to (i) Chapter 2.8 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the California Government Code (commencing with section 53395) (the “IFD Law”), (ii) Resolution No. 24-86 adopted by City Council (the “City Council”) of the City of West Sacramento (the “City”) on behalf of the District on August 21, 2024, and Resolution No. 25-____ adopted by the City Council on behalf of the District on ___________, 2025 (together, the “Resolutions”), and (iii) a Fiscal Agent Agreement dated ____________ 1, 2025 (the “Fiscal Agent Agreement”), by and between the District and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as fiscal agent (the “Fiscal Agent”). The Bonds were sold to Piper Sandler & Co., on behalf of itself and Hilltop Securities, Inc. (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to a Bond Purchase Agreement, dated _______, 2025 (the “Bond Purchase Agreement”).
Regarding questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon the representations of the District contained in the Fiscal Agent Agreement and in the certified proceedings and other certifications of public officials and others furnished to us without undertaking to verify the same by independent investigation. In connection with certain questions of law material to our opinion, we have relied on the California Superior Court’s Validation Judgment dated April 17, 2025, in Case No. CV2024-2481, validating (i) the existence of the District, (ii) the Infrastructure Financing Plan (the “IFP”) adopted by the City (iii) the allocation of Tax Increment Revenues pursuant to the IFP, and (iv) the proceedings undertaken by the City and the District in connection with the IFP and the Bonds.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, under existing law:
EXHIBIT D
742
Appendix B
1. The District is an infrastructure financing district and a legally constituted governmental entity established pursuant to the IFD Law, with the power to execute and deliver the Fiscal Agent Agreement, perform the agreements on its part contained therein, and issue the Bonds.
2. The District has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Bonds. The Bonds are valid and binding limited obligations of the District, payable solely from the proceeds of the Tax Increment Revenues and certain funds held under the Fiscal Agent Agreement to the extent specified therein.
3. The Fiscal Agent Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the District and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the District. The Fiscal Agent Agreement creates a valid lien on the Tax Increment Revenues and other funds pledged in the Fiscal Agent Agreement for the security of the Bonds.
5. Interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals; however, interest on the Bonds is taken into account in determining annual adjusted financial statement income for the purpose of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on certain corporations. The opinions set forth in the preceding sentence are subject to the condition that the District comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds in order that interest thereon be, and continue to be, excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The District has covenanted in the Resolutions and the Tax Certificate and other instruments relating to the Bonds to comply with each of such requirements under the Code. Failure to comply with certain of such requirements under the Code may cause the inclusion of interest on the Bonds in gross income for federal income tax purposes to be retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds.
6. Interest on the Bonds is exempt from present State of California personal income taxes.
The opinions and conclusions herein are based on an analysis of existing laws, regulations, rulings, and court decisions and cover certain matters not directly addressed by such authorities. Such opinions or conclusions may be affected by actions taken or omitted or events occurring after the date hereof. We have not undertaken to determine, or to inform any person, whether any such actions are taken or omitted or events do occur or any other matters come to our attention after the date hereof. We have assumed the genuineness of all documents and signatures presented to us (whether as originals or as copies) and the due and legal execution and delivery thereof by, and validity against, any parties other than the District.
We have assumed, without undertaking to verify, the accuracy of the factual matters represented, warranted or certified in the documents reviewed and relied upon by us. We have further assumed compliance with all covenants and agreements contained in such documents. In addition, we call attention to the fact that the rights and obligations under the Bonds, the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the Resolutions, the Tax Certificate, the Continuing Disclosure Certificate and the Bond Purchase Agreement, and their enforceability may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium and other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights, to the application of equitable principles, to the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases, and to the limitations on legal remedies against public entities in the State of California. We express no opinion with respect to any indemnification, contribution, penalty, choice of law, choice of forum, choice of venue, waiver or severability provisions contained in the foregoing documents. We express no opinion regarding the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Official Statement dated _________, 2025, or other offering

materials relating to the Bonds. Further, we express no opinion regarding tax consequences arising with respect to the Bonds other than as expressly set forth herein.
Our opinions are based on existing law, which is subject to change. The opinions represent our legal judgment based upon a review of existing legal authorities that we deem relevant to render such opinions and are not a guarantee of results. Such opinions are further based on our knowledge of facts as of the date hereof. We assume no duty to update or supplement our opinions to reflect any fact or circumstance that may hereafter come to our attention or to reflect any change in any law that may hereafter occur or become effective. Moreover, our opinions are not a guarantee of result and are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service; rather, such opinions represent our legal judgment based upon our review of existing law that we deem relevant to such opinions and in reliance upon the representations and covenants referenced above.

APPENDIX C
BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM
The information in this Appendix C concerning The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, New York, and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from DTC and the IFD takes no responsibility for the completeness or accuracy thereof. The IFD cannot and does not give any assurances that DTC, DTC Participants or Indirect Participants will distribute to the Beneficial Owners (a) payments of interest, principal or premium, if any, with respect to the Bonds, (b) certificates representing ownership interest in or other confirmation or ownership interest in the Bonds, or (c) redemption or other notices sent to DTC or Cede & Co., its nominee, as the registered owner of the Bonds, or that they will so do on a timely basis, or that DTC, DTC Participants or DTC Indirect Participants will act in the manner described in this Appendix. The current “Rules” applicable to DTC are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the current “Procedures” of DTC to be followed in dealing with DTC Participants are on file with DTC.
The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, NY, will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC.
One fully registered certificate will be issued for each maturity of the Bonds, each in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, and will be deposited with DTC.
DTC, the world’s largest securities depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has a Standard & Poor’s rating of AA+. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com. The information set forth on such website is not incorporated herein by reference.
Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Bonds on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Bond (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records.
Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are,
EXHIBIT D
745
4934-9230-1063 C-2
however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Bonds is discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not affect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Bond documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.
Redemption notices will be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Bonds within a maturity are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such maturity to be redeemed.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the IFD as soon as possible after the Regular Record Date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Bonds are credited on the Regular Record Date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
Principal, premium (if any), and interest payments on the Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the IFD or the Fiscal Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Fiscal Agent, or the IFD, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.
Principal, premium (if any), and interest payments with respect to the Bonds to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the IFD or
EXHIBIT D
746
4934-9230-1063 C-3
the Fiscal Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the IFD or the Fiscal Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, certificates representing the Bonds are required to be printed and delivered.
The IFD may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, representing the Bonds will be printed and delivered to DTC in accordance with the provisions of the Fiscal Agent Agreement.
The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that the IFD believes to be reliable, but the IFD takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

information that the Dissemination Agent may be instructed to file with EMMA will be prepared and provided to it by the IFD. The Dissemination Agent has undertaken no responsibility with respect to the content of any reports, notices or disclosures provided to it under this Disclosure Certificate and has no liability to any person, including any Bond owner, with respect to any such reports, notices or disclosures.
The fact that the Dissemination Agent or any affiliate thereof may have any fiduciary or banking relationship with the IFD will not be construed to mean that the Dissemination Agent has actual knowledge of any event or condition, except as may be provided by written notice from the IFD. (b) Compensation of Dissemination Agent. The Dissemination Agent will be paid compensation by the IFD for its services provided hereunder in accordance with its schedule of fees as agreed to between the Dissemination Agent and the IFD from time to time and all expenses, legal fees and expenses and advances made or incurred by the Dissemination Agent in the performance of its duties hereunder. The Dissemination Agent will not be deemed to be acting in any fiduciary capacity for the IFD, Owners or Beneficial Owners, or any other party. The Dissemination Agent may rely, and will be protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any direction from the IFD or an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel. The Dissemination Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the IFD. The Dissemination Agent will not be liable hereunder except for its negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 9. Amendment; Waiver. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Disclosure Certificate, the IFD may amend this Disclosure Certificate (and the Dissemination Agent will agree to any amendment so requested by the IFD that does not impose any greater duties or risk of liability on the Dissemination Agent), and any provision of this Disclosure Certificate may be waived, provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied:
(a) Change in Circumstances. If the amendment or waiver relates to the provisions of Sections 3(a), 4 or 5(a) or (b), it may only be made in connection with a change in circumstances that arises from a change in legal requirements, change in law, or change in the identity, nature, or status of an obligated person with respect to the Bonds, or the type of business conducted. (b) Compliance as of Issue Date. The undertaking, as amended or taking into account such waiver, would, in the opinion of a nationally recognized bond counsel, have complied with the requirements of the Rule at the time of the original issuance of the Bonds, after taking into account any amendments or interpretations of the Rule, as well as any change in circumstances. (c) Consent of Holders; Non-impairment Opinion. The amendment or waiver either (i) is approved by the Bond Owners in the same manner as provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement for amendments to the Fiscal Agent Agreement with the consent of Bond Owners, or (ii) does not, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, materially impair the interests of the Bond Owners or Beneficial Owners.
If this Disclosure Certificate is amended or any provision of this Disclosure Certificate is waived, the IFD will describe such amendment or waiver in the next following Annual Report and will include, as applicable, a narrative explanation of the reason for the amendment or waiver and its impact on the type (or in the case of a change of accounting principles, on the presentation) of financial information or operating data being presented by the IFD. In addition, if the amendment relates to the accounting principles to be followed in preparing financial statements, (i) notice of such change will be given in the same manner as for a Significant Event under Section 5(b), and (ii) the Annual Report for the year in which the change is made should present a comparison (in narrative form and also, if feasible, in quantitative

If the IFD chooses to include any information in any Annual Report or notice of occurrence of a Significant Event in addition to that which is specifically required by this Disclosure Certificate, the IFD will have no obligation under this Disclosure Certificate to update such information or include it in any future Annual Report or notice of occurrence of a Significant Event.
Section 11. Default. In the event of a failure of the IFD to comply with any provision of this Disclosure Certificate, any Certificate owner or Beneficial Owner may take such actions as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking mandate or specific performance by court order, to cause the IFD to comply with their obligations under this Disclosure Certificate. The sole remedy under this Disclosure Certificate in the event of any failure of the IFD to comply with this Disclosure Certificate will be an action to compel performance.
Section 12. Duties, Immunities and Liabilities of Dissemination Agent. The Dissemination Agent will have only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Disclosure Certificate, and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into this Disclosure Certificate against the Dissemination Agent, and the IFD agrees to indemnify and save the Dissemination Agent, its officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless against any loss, expense and liabilities which it may incur arising out of or in the exercise or performance of its powers and duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) of defending against any claim of liability, but excluding liabilities due to the Dissemination Agent’s negligence or willful misconduct.

GENERAL, ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
RELATING TO THE CITY AND THE COUNTY
The information in this Appendix E is presented as general background data. The Bonds are payable solely from the Tax Increment Revenues and amounts held in certain funds under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, as described in the Official Statement.
Although reasonable efforts have been made to include up-to-date information in this Appendix E, some of the information is not current due to delays in reporting of information by various sources. It should not be assumed that the trends indicated by the following data would continue beyond the specific periods reflected herein.
Introduction
The City. The City of West Sacramento, California (the “City”) is located in eastern Yolo County, California (the “County”). The City lies adjacent to the Sacramento River on the east and the east levee of the Yolo Bypass on the west. The City is immediately across the Sacramento River from the city of Sacramento, the state capital, and is approximately 85 miles east of San Francisco. The City was incorporated as a general law city on January 1, 1987, and brought together the four communities of West Sacramento, Bryte, Broderick and Southport. The City encompasses approximately 23 square miles or 12,300 acres including considerable industrial, commercial, residential and agricultural properties. The City’s location and transportation network have contributed to the City’s economic growth. The Port of West Sacramento is located within the City boundaries and provides direct shipping access to the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The City is served by an interstate transcontinental railroad. Interstate 80 and U.S. 50, two of the nation’s principal east-west freeways, traverse the City and connect to Interstate 5, immediately east of the Sacramento River. The City is also home to Sutter Health Park, the temporary home of Major League Baseball’s Athletics.
The County. Yolo County was incorporated in 1950 as one of the State’s original 27 counties. The County encompasses an area of approximately 1,024 square miles, and is located in the agricultural region of the State’s Central Valley and Sacramento River Delta. The County sits across the Sacramento River from Sacramento County, home to the city of Sacramento, the State’s capital. There are four incorporated cities in the County, Davis, West Sacramento, Winters, and Woodland, the county seat. The County’s leading economic activity is agriculture, and it is supported by other industries such as warehousing, distribution, food processing, technology and biotechnology research and development, and higher education at the University of California at Davis. The County provides a full range of services that include general government, public protection, social services, public health, infrastructure, recreation, and cultural services.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Fiscal Consultant Report provides a review of assessed values and a projection of revenues to be pledged for payment of bonds issued by the West Sacramento Infrastructure Financing District No. 1 (Bridge District Area) (“Bridge District IFD”). The Bridge District IFD is proposing issuance of its City of West Sacramento Infrastructure Finance District No. 1 (Bridge District Area) Tax Increment Bonds, Series 2025 (“Bonds”).
The Bridge District IFD receives an allocation of property tax revenues that are generated from growth in the taxable assessed values of properties within its boundaries above the fiscal year (“FY”) 2014-15 base year assessed value established at the time of IFD adoption (“tax increment”). The Bonds are secured by a pledge of Bridge District IFD tax increment revenues.
1.1 Infrastructure Finance Districts in California
Establishment of Infrastructure Finance Districts (IFDs) is authorized by Chapter 2.8 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the California Government Code (commencing with Section 53395) (“IFD Law”). IFDs are authorized to receive an allocation of property taxes calculated based on growth in assessed values over a base year assessed value established at the time of IFD adoption.
IFDs may receive the percentage share of tax increment that is attributable to taxing agencies that agree to participate in financing the IFD, as specified in an adopted Infrastructure Financing Plan (“IFP”). In addition, net available revenues from dissolved former redevelopment project areas are eligible for allocation to IFDs.
1.2 Purpose of this Report
This report provides a projection of tax increment available for allocation to the Bridge District IFD for payment of the Bonds based upon reported FY 2024-25 assessed values. This report also provides information regarding the applicable plan limits, historic assessed value trends, assessed values by land use, top ten property taxpayers, assessment appeals, a history of tax increment revenues, and a summary of construction in-progress within the IFD. 766

2.0 THE BRIDGE DISTRICT IFD
The Bridge District is an area located within the boundaries of the City along the banks of the Sacramento River between the Tower Bridge to the north and the Pioneer Bridge to the south.
The Bridge District IFD was formed, and the IFP for the Bridge District IFD was approved through adoption of City of West Sacramento (“City”) Ordinance 14-12 to finance construction and/or acquisition of public capital facilities in the Bridge District. The City Council adopted Resolution No. 24-86 on August 21, 2024, authorizing the Bridge District IFD to issue bonds.
The boundaries of the Bridge District IFD are shown on Map 1.
Tax increment funds allocated by the City to the Bridge District IFD are available to fund infrastructure and public facilities specified in the IFP and to pay debt service on bonds issued to finance these costs.
In a judicial validation action brought by the City under California Code of Civil Procedure 860 et seq (Case No. CV2024-2481), the Superior Court issued a judgment on April 17, 2025, that the Bridge District IFD had been properly formed and that the IFP and bonds to be issued by the Bridge District IFD are valid.

2.1 Overlap with Successor Agency
The boundaries of the Bridge District IFD are entirely within the Successor Agency to the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of West Sacramento (“Successor Agency”) Redevelopment Project No. 1 (“RDA Project Area”). Overlap with the RDA Project Area affects the effective City share of property taxes that is available for allocation to the Bridge District IFD, as described in Section 3.4.
Redevelopment agencies in California were dissolved under Assembly Bill (“AB”)x1 26 enacted June 2011 and amended by AB 1484 enacted June 2012 and Senate Bill (“SB”) 107 enacted September 2015 (“Dissolution Statutes”). Successor agencies were established to wind down the affairs of former redevelopment agencies and administer their remaining financial obligations.
Under the Dissolution Statutes, county auditor-controllers are required to deposit former tax increment revenues into a Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (“RPTTF”) for each successor agency. Property taxes in the RPTTF are allocated twice yearly for the payment of (1) certain county administrative costs; (2) pass through payments; (3) Enforceable Obligations (as defined in the Dissolution Statutes) of the former redevelopment agency, as identified by dollar amounts on a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (“ROPS”) approved by a countywide oversight board and the State Department of Finance; and (4) administrative costs of the Successor Agency. The distributions are paid twice a year on January 2nd and June 1st.
Upon paying for these obligations, ABx1 26 requires county auditor-controllers to distribute any remaining RPTTF revenues as property taxes to local government agencies whose tax bases overlap the Successor Agency’s project areas. Successor agencies are precluded from incurring new financial obligations with limited exceptions, including issuance of refunding bonds that result in debt service savings.
2.2 Overlap with EIFD No. 1
EIFD No. 1 (“EIFD”) was formed in 2017 through adoption of City Ordinance 17-1 and City of West Sacramento Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District No. 1 Public Financing Authority (“Authority”) Resolution No. 17-2. The EIFD encompasses approximately 4,144 acres.
The Bridge District IFD is contained almost entirely within the boundaries of the EIFD, with all but nine of 178 total Bridge District IFD parcels located within the EIFD. Approximately 99% of the Bridge District FY 2024-25 assessed value is within the EIFD.
Notwithstanding overlap with the EIFD, Bridge District IFD tax increment is pledged to the Bonds and is not available for payment of any EIFD bonds pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement for the EIFD and the Irrevocable Pledge of EIFD Revenues, while any Bridge District IFD bonds are outstanding. After the Bridge District IFD dissolves, tax increment from the Bridge District will be available for allocation to the EIFD. 769
Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. Page 5
\\SF-FS2\wp\21\21271\016\001-001.docx
2.3 Tax Increment Allocation to Bridge District IFD No. 1 The IFP for the Bridge District IFD provides for allocation of up to 100 percent of the City’s share of tax increment from within the boundaries of the Bridge District IFD. The amount to be allocated is annually determined by the City, subject to the requirements of the Irrevocable Pledge of IFD Revenues to be executed at closing of the Bonds.
The City’s share of tax increment consists of two components:
(a) Incremental City RPTTF Funds - Until dissolution of the Successor Agency, projected following FY 2036-37, the City’s share of tax increment consists of “Incremental City RPTTF Funds” generated by growth in assessed value over the FY 2014-15 Bridge District IFD base year assessed value, after making the pass through and enforceable obligation payments described in Section 3. Incremental City RPTTF Funds equal approximately
25.9485%1 of the basic 1% of assessed value property tax levy under Article XIIIA of the California Constitution, applied to the incremental assessed value of the Bridge District IFD. (b) Incremental City Property Taxes - Following dissolution of the Successor Agency, projected following FY 2036-37, allocations to the RPTTF for the Successor Agency will cease and up to 100% of the City’s regular share of property taxes generated by incremental growth in assessed value will be available for allocation to the Bridge District IFD. The IFP provides for allocation of up to 100% of the City’s 49.0122% share of the basic 1% property tax levy.
The revenues available for payment of the Bonds (“Available IFD Revenue”), as specified in the Fiscal Agent Agreement and Irrevocable Pledge of IFD Revenues for the Bonds, include:
(a) Incremental City RPTTF Funds, and
(b) Incremental City Property Taxes,
minus $189,057 per year through FY 2027-28 (“the “CFD 12 Revenues”)2.
Table 1 summarizes the share of the 1% property tax levy generated by incremental assessed values of the Bridge District IFD available for allocation to the Bridge District IFD.
1 See calculation in Table 6.
2 This amount equals to the portion of debt service on the CFD 12 Refunding Bonds paid by the Successor Agency pursuant to an enforceable obligation on the ROPS. CFD 12 debt service amounts are not an obligation of the Bridge District IFD but are excluded from Available IFD Revenues consistent with the Irrevocable Pledge of IFD Revenues. 770

Percentage may shift slightly over time. See supporting calculations in Table 6. (2) Effective share of 1% property tax available to Bridge District IFD after revenue shifts to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF).
2.4 Administrative Cost for Division of Taxes
Section 53396.5 of the California Government Code provides that costs incurred by a county in connection with the division of taxes to an IFD are paid by the IFD. The County of Yolo (“County”) has not historically allocated administrative expenses to the Bridge District IFD; however, County administrative expenses are being allocated to the Successor Agency, which reduces the effective property tax share applicable to Incremental City RPTTF Funds, shown in Table 1 and Table 6. For purposes of the revenue projections presented in Section 8, no administrative expenses are assumed to be allocated to the Bridge District IFD until dissolution of the Successor Agency, based on this existing practice. Following dissolution of the Successor Agency, County administrative costs allocable to the Bridge District IFD are assumed to equal
0.53% of Bridge District IFD revenues. This 0.53% factor is based on a proportionate share of the existing property tax administrative expenses being charged to the Successor Agency. The estimated County administrative expense at 0.53% of Bridge District IFD revenues equates to approximately $5,000 annually based on projected FY 2025-26 assessed values. This estimated administrative expense is deducted in calculating Available IFD Revenue in the Section 8 revenue projections for FY 2037-38 and subsequent years.
2.5 Bridge District IFD Plan Limits
IFD Law provides for allocation of incremental property taxes to IFDs by non-education taxing entities pursuant to an IFP. IFD Law requires the IFP to include a financing section that contains, among other things:
A limit on the total number of dollars of taxes that may be allocated to the district. A date on which the district will cease to exist, by which time all tax allocation to the district will end. The date may not be more than 30 years from the date on which the ordinance forming the district is adopted.
The Bridge District IFD will cease to exist on December 5, 2044, the date that is 30 years from the date the ordinance adopting the Bridge District IFD became effective. The cumulative limit on tax increment allocation to the Bridge District IFD is $1 billion.

Bridge District IFD Adoption Date and Plan Limits Adoption (Effective Date of Ordinance) December 5, 2014 Date Bridge District IFD Ceases to Exist December 5, 2044 Cumulative Limit on Tax Increment Allocated $1,000,000,000 Cumulative Tax Increment Allocated through June 30, 2024 $3,300,351 Based upon the growth assumptions incorporated into the Table 17 revenue projections, incorporating the 2% maximum annual inflation increase under Proposition 13, approximately $20 million in tax increment would be allocable to the Bridge District IFD through the 2044 final maturity for the Bonds, representing approximately 2% of the $1 billion cumulative tax increment limit under the IFP. For the $1 billion cumulative tax increment limit to be reached prior to the final debt service payment in 2044, the FY 2024-25 assessed values of the Bridge District IFD would need to grow at a compound annual growth rate more than approximately 32.7% per year.

3.0 SENIOR SUCCESSOR AGENCY OBLIGATONS
Required pass through and enforceable obligation payments of the Successor Agency are payable prior to allocation of Incremental City RPTTF Funds to the Bridge District IFD until dissolution of the Successor Agency. The Successor Agency is required under H&S Code 34187 (b) to initiate the process of final dissolution within 30 days of paying off all enforceable obligations, which is projected by the end of FY 2036-37. A description of the pass through and enforceable obligations of the Successor Agency is provided below.
3.1 Senior Pass Through and County Administrative Fee Obligations Table 3 summarizes the Successor Agency’s pass through and County administrative fee obligations, which are senior to the Bonds. A description of each obligation follows.
Table 3. Pass Through and County Administrative Fee Obligations of the Successor Agency a. County Administrative Fees Required
b. Contractual Pass Through Agreements To County, County Library, and County Accumulated Capital Outlay Fund
c. AB 1290 Statutory Pass Throughs
(H&S 33607.5 and .7)
To all taxing agencies other than the County, County Library, and County Accumulated Capital Outlay Fund
d. H&S 33676 (a) “2% Election” To Washington Joint Unified School District, Los Rios Community College District, and
Yolo County Office of Education
a. County Administrative Fees
California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 95.3 provides for recovery of a proportionate share of county property tax administration expenses from all non-school agencies including former redevelopment agencies. California Health and Safety Code (“H&S”) 34182 (a) (3) allows counties to recover expenses related to dissolution of redevelopment agencies. County administrative charges to the Successor Agency in FY 2023-24 totaled $528,054. This equates to approximately 1.14% of gross Successor Agency RPTTF revenues. b. County and Flood Control District Agreement
The Successor Agency has a contractual pass through agreement with the County, County Library, and County Accumulated Capital Outlay (A.C.O.) Fund. The agreement specifies pass through payments equal to 100% of each agencies’ share of former tax increment revenue, which together represent approximately 12.6% of the 1% tax levy within the areas of the Bridge District IFD.
c. AB 1290 Statutory Pass Throughs Triggered by SB 211
Statutory pass through payments under AB 1290 were triggered by adoption of ordinances to eliminate the debt incurrence time limit for the RDA Project Area as allowed under legislation 773
Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. Page 9
\\SF-FS2\wp\21\21271\016\001-001.docx
enacted by SB 211. The statutory pass through obligations (set forth under H&S Sections 33607.7 and 33607.5) commenced in FY 2006-07, the first year following the fiscal year in which the original debt incurrence time limit would have taken effect. Taxing agencies without a tax sharing agreement (all taxing agencies other than the County, County Library and County A.C.O.) are eligible to receive their allocation of the resulting statutory pass through.
Three tiers of payments are required. Payments are calculated based on revenues after deduction of the 20% portion of revenues formerly required to be deposited into a separate Low and Moderate Housing Fund. Tier one is calculated based on revenue derived from incremental assessed value growth over FY 2005-06 assessed values, the fiscal year in which the time limit for incurrence of debt would have been reached if it had not been repealed. The tier one payments are equal to 25% of each taxing agency’s respective share of revenues. Tier two payments commenced in FY 2016-17 and are based on 21% of the revenues derived from growth in assessed values over FY 2015-16. The third tier of payments is scheduled to commence in FY 2036-37, the final year the Successor Agency is projected to exist, based on growth in assessed values over FY 2035-36.
d. Taxing Agency Elections Payable Under H&S 33676
Redevelopment projects adopted between January 1, 1985, and January 1, 1994, were subject to payments to schools and to other affected taxing agencies that elected to receive tax revenue payments set forth under H&S Section 33676. The RDA Project Area was adopted during the applicable period. Payments equal the taxing agency’s percentage share of tax increment attributable to inflationary increases in the base year assessed value under Proposition 13 of up to 2% per year. School and community college districts are entitled to the payments even if no election was made at the time of project area adoption, based on the ruling in Santa Ana Unified School Dist. v. Orange County Development Agency. Consistent with this ruling, the County currently deducts payments on behalf of the Washington Joint Unified School District, Los Rios Community College District, and the Yolo County Office of Education.
3.2 Enforceable Obligations of the Successor Agency
Pursuant to Section 53395.4(d) of the California Government Code, any debt of the Bridge District IFD, including the Bonds, is subordinate to any and all enforceable obligations of the Successor Agency. The Successor Agency has the following outstanding enforceable obligations:
(2) Bonds – Outstanding Successor Agency Bonds include its 2014 Senior Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, 2014 Subordinate Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds and 2016 Subordinate Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds. The combined maximum annual debt service is $7,686,384.
(3) Raley’s Landing Owner Participation Agreement – The agreement requires payments equal to 100% of site-specific tax increment revenue generated by 774
Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. Page 10
\\SF-FS2\wp\21\21271\016\001-001.docx
properties subject to the agreement through FY 2036-37. The amount reported on the proposed ROPS for FY 2025-26 is $817,416.
(4) Local Baseball Agreement – The agreement requires two separate payments:
(a) Payment of a $189,057 portion of the annual debt service on the City of West Sacramento Community Facilities District No. 12 (Raley’s Field) Special Tax Refunding Bond Series 2013.
(b) Annual payment to the River City Land Holding Company, equal to an initial annual amount of $224,000 as annually adjusted for changes in the assessed value of the applicable properties since 1999, up to a maximum equal to the Community Facilities District No. 12 special taxes owed by the River City Land Holding Company. The amount reported on the proposed ROPS for FY 2025-26 is $325,000.
Final payments on the Local Baseball Agreement are in 2028. (5) CEMEX Rail Agreement – Requires annual payments of $191,054 per year through 2027.
(6) Administrative Expenses and Trustee Fees – The Successor Agency reported administrative expenses and trustee fee expenses totaling $182,530 in FY 2025-26 and will continue to incur these expenses until bond debt service and all other enforceable obligations have been fully satisfied.
Table 4 provides a projection of Successor Agency enforceable obligation payments through the FY 2036-37 final year of the Successor Agency.

(3) Payments are based on TI generated by eight specific parcels. FY 24-25 and FY 25-26 amounts are based on the approved and proposed ROPS schedules, respectively. FY 26- 27 and subsequent year amounts are projected based on a 3% growth rate. Payment obligation ends after May 2037. (4) Payments to River City Land Holding Company increase or decrease based on changes in assessed value of applicable parcels and are limited to the amount of CFD 12 special taxes due. FY 24-25 and FY 25-26 expenses are based on approved and proposed ROPS schedules, respectively, and a 3% annual growth rate is used to estimate subsequent year amounts.

3.3 Coverage of Successor Agency Enforceable Obligations, Stress Test
Table 5 presents a stress test scenario in which RDA Project Area assessed values are assumed to be reduced by 54% to the $2.56 billion combined base year assessed values of the Bridge District IFD plus the EIFD. The scenario results in a 1.55 coverage ratio of maximum annual Successor Agency enforceable obligations. This demonstrates that, notwithstanding the subordination described in Section 3.2, the Successor Agency can fully fund its enforceable obligations using revenues generated by the EIFD and IFD base year assessed values, without use of any EIFD or Bridge District IFD tax increment.

1.55 (1) Equals the sum of the Bridge District IFD base year value and the EIFD base year assessed values for areas outside of the IFD that overlap the Successor Agency
(2) Note this result is slightly different than a similar coverage test performed with respect to the EIFD in a separate fiscal consultant report. The difference is primarily due to use of the Bridge District IFD base year assessed value for the Bridge District, rather than the higher EIFD base year value for parcels within the Bridge District, as in the EIFD Fiscal Consultant Report.
No reduction or offset to Available IFD Revenue based on outstanding Successor Agency enforceable obligations is reflected in the Section 8 revenue projections based on the analysis in Table 5 demonstrating that Successor Agency revenues, excluding all EIFD and IFD AV Increment, exceed the amount needed to fully fund enforceable obligations. 777

3.4 Incremental City RPTTF Funds Effective Share of 1% Property Tax Table 6 calculates the share of the 1% property tax rate available for inclusion in Incremental City RPTTF Funds through FY 2036-37 as 25.9485%. The effective share of the 1% property tax applicable to Incremental City RPTTF Funds is less than the City’s regular property tax share due to the priority that pass through payments have in the distribution of RPTTF funds.
The percentage of the 1% property tax rate applicable to Incremental City RPTTF Funds is calculated by applying the City’s 49.0122% property tax share to the 52.9428% of the 1% property tax levy that remains after payment of Successor Agency pass through obligations.

4.0 ASSESSED VALUES
4.1 Current Year Assessed Values
The County Assessor annually prepares the assessment roll identifying the assessed values of each property within the county. Assessed values reflect value as of the January 1st preceding the beginning of the fiscal year. Each property assessment is assigned a unique Assessor Parcel Number (“APN”) that corresponds to assessment maps prepared by the County. Each APN is included within a Tax Rate Area (“TRA”), a geographic subarea with a common distribution of taxes. The Bridge District IFD encompasses a portion of APNs within TRA 04- 005.
The County Department of Financial Services (“DFS”) aggregates the assessed values assigned by the Assessor for properties within the boundaries of the Bridge District IFD. This results in the total current year assessed value for the Bridge District IFD3.
The incremental assessed value equals the amount by which current year assessed value exceeds the base year assessed value established at the time of adoption. Incremental assessed value becomes the basis for determining the amount of property tax increment available for allocation to the Bridge District IFD.
Table 7 summarizes the total and incremental taxable assessed values for the Bridge District IFD as of FY 2024-25. The amounts are net of tax-exempt property4.
Table 7. FY 2024-25 Assessed Values, Bridge District IFD Assessed Value % of Total
Secured $245,785,301 99%
Unsecured $3,119,184 1%
Total Assessed Value $248,904,485 100%
Less: Base Year AV ($56,037,242) 23%
Incremental Value $192,867,243 77%
The secured assessment roll includes property for which taxes levied by the County become a lien on that property. The unsecured assessment roll includes other properties such as tenant improvements, trade fixtures, personal property and possessory interests constituting a right to the possession and use of property owned by a governmental agency for a period less than perpetuity.
3DFS assessed value information was adjusted to include five Bridge District IFD secured parcels (058-340-34 and -35, and 058-350-72, -74, -75) that were included by DFS in EIFD assessed values, but which should also be included in Bridge District IFD assessed values. The aggregate assessed value of the five parcels is $8,759,815 and the aggregate land area is 16.6 acres.
4 Except for the homeowner’s exemption which is reimbursed to local governments through a State subvention and is included as part of tax increment revenue.

\\SF-FS2\wp\12\12092\016\001-001.docx
As shown in Table 8, the FY 2024-25 assessed value of the Bridge District IFD equates to approximately 5% of the assessed value of the Successor Agency and approximately 2% of the assessed value of the entire City of West Sacramento.

4.2 Real and Personal Property
Real property, as referred to in this report, is defined to represent land and improvement assessed values on both the secured and unsecured property tax rolls of the County Assessor.
Annual increases in the assessed value of real property are limited to an annual inflationary increase of up to 2%, as governed by Article XIIIA of the California Constitution and known as the Proposition 13 inflation factor. Real property values may increase or decrease upon a change of ownership or new construction and result in establishment of a new base year value for purposes of the 2% maximum increase. As discussed below, the assessed value of taxable property is subject to reduction under certain conditions.
For property tax purposes, the Proposition 13 inflation factor is subject to the State’s Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) inflation adjustment of up to 2% per year. The CPI adjustment is based on the change in the CPI from October to October of the following year. The Proposition 13 inflation factor for the FY 2025-26 assessment roll is 2%. The annual Proposition 13 factor has been less than 2% for two of the last 10 fiscal years, as shown in Table 9.
Table 9. Prop 13 Inflation Factors
10 Year History
2016-17 1.525%
2017-18 2.000%
2018-19 2.000%

2023-24 2.000%
2024-25 2.000%
2025-26 2.000%
The assessed value of Personal Property is not subject to the maximum 2% inflationary increase and is subject to annual appraisal, either upward or downward. Properties assessed by the State Board of Equalization (“SBE”), including railroads and utilities, are valued annually and are not subject to the 2% limitation on annual increases.

2024-25 248,904,485 13.3%
Annualized % Change 16.1%
Over the 11-year period from FY 2014-15 to FY 2024-25, assessed values of the Bridge District IFD increased at an annualized rate of 16.1%, driven by new development. Assessed value growth has been positive every year over this period.
4.4 Values by Property Use
Taxable assessed values by land use category for FY 2024-25 are presented in Table 11. The analysis is based upon County Assessor’s land use classifications applicable to the secured roll.
The County Assessor does not assign a land use classification to unsecured property.
Certain parcels identified by the Assessor as vacant land were found to be improved with recently constructed residential uses. For purposes of Table 11, land use classifications for the applicable parcels were updated to reflect the new residential use.
Residential uses account for 75% of FY 2024-25 Bridge District IFD assessed values; vacant land accounts for 13.9%, industrial uses account for 4.4%, commercial uses account for 4.2%, unsecured assessments account for 1.3%, and other secured property accounts for the remaining 1.1% of FY 2024-25 taxable assessed value.

5.0 ASSESSMENT APPEALS
Property values determined by the County Assessor may be subject to an appeal by the property owner. Assessment appeals are filed annually with the Yolo County Assessment Appeals Board for a hearing and resolution. A property owner can file a regular assessment appeal of current fiscal year assessed values between July 2 and November 30. Revenue and Taxation Code §1604 allows up to two years for an assessment appeal to be decided unless this time limit is waived by the applicant. If not decided within the two-year statutory time frame, the assessor is required to apply the applicant’s opinion of value.
The majority of appeal filings are Proposition 8 (“Prop 8”) appeals relating to temporary declines in market value. Assessed value reductions from Prop 8 appeals are subject to annual review by the Assessor and potential restoration over time based on future increases in market value. “Base year” appeals contest changes in assessed value arising from re-assessable events such as transfer of ownership or new construction. Assessed value reductions from “base year” appeals affect the maximum assessed value under Proposition 13 on an on-going basis.
Resolution of an appeal may result in a reduction to the Assessor's original taxable value and a tax refund to the property owner. The City’s practice has been to allocate up to 100% of the calculated tax increment revenue to the Bridge District IFD based on County-reported assessed values. This apportionment procedure effectively holds the Bridge District IFD harmless from tax refunds arising from assessment appeal refunds. Based on the City’s existing practice, the primary risk to Available IFD Revenues arising from assessment appeals is a potential reduction in future year assessed values.
The Assessor may also proactively review and reduce assessed values for declines in market values without an assessment appeal filing, pursuant to Proposition 8. In the event of a proactive reduction in assessed value by the Assessor, values are subject to restoration over time as market values increase, as with Proposition 8 appeal reductions.
Table 13 summarizes assessment appeal filing outcomes within the Bridge District IFD for appeals of FY 2017-18 to FY 2023-24 assessed values using data provided by staff for the County Assessment Appeals Board5. The appeals database includes 31 resolved appeal records within the Bridge District IFD during this period. Of the 31 resolved appeal records, 13 (42%) were stipulated or adjusted by the Assessment Appeals Board and the remaining 18 (58%) of appeals were denied or withdrawn by the applicant.
Resolved appeals in the Bridge District IFD during FY 2017-18 to FY 2023-24 had an aggregate Assessor value of $70 million. There were 13 stipulated appeals that resulted in a $1 million aggregate net increase in assessed value. This net increase was a result of ten stipulated appeals for FY 2017-18 and FY 2018-19 by number three top taxpayer, River City Land Holding Company, which resulted in a combined $1.4 million net increase in assessed value. The 5 Appeals data was provided on October 16th for appeals prior to 2023-24, December 16th, 2024 for 2023-24 appeals, and January 3, 2025 for FY 2024-25 appeals.

appeals relate to land parcels adjacent to Sutter Health Park filed in conjunction with an appeal of the Sutter Health Park assessed value (Sutter Health Park is not within the Bridge District IFD and so is not included in the Table 13 data). The appeals were resolved pursuant to a settlement agreement, which resulted in a reduction in the assessed value of Sutter Health Park itself, but an increase in the assessed value of adjacent land parcels within the Bridge District IFD. Under the settlement agreement, River City Land Holding Company agreed not to file further appeals as long as the Assessor uses the valuation methodology established in the settlement agreement.

No appeal records were identified in the County’s appeals database for the Bridge District IFD for the FY 2022-23 to FY 2024-25 period, nor were any pending appeal records identified for prior fiscal years. Therefore, no reduction to Bridge District IFD assessed values based upon pending assessment appeals is reflected for purposes of the revenue projections presented in Section 8.

6.0 TAX ALLOCATION AND DISBURSEMENT
6.1 Tax Rates
The tax rates which are applied to taxable values consist of two components: the basic levy of $1.00 per $100 of taxable assessed value and the override tax rate which is levied to pay voter approved indebtedness. The basic levy may not exceed 1% ($1.00 of $100 taxable value) in accordance with Article XIIIA of the California Constitution. Tax Increment is comprised of a share of the basic 1% property tax levy applied to the assessed value of properties within the Bridge District IFD, as identified in Table 1. Accordingly, a one percent levy is applied in the revenue projections presented in Section 8.
6.2 Allocation of Taxes
The Yolo County DFS is responsible for the aggregation of taxable values assigned by the Assessor as of the lien date for property within the boundaries of the Bridge District IFD. This results in the reported total current year Bridge District IFD taxable value and becomes the basis for determining the revenue allocated to the Bridge District IFD.
Secured property taxes are due in two equal installments and become delinquent if not paid by December 10 and April 10. Taxes on unsecured property become delinquent if not paid by August 31. DFS allocates secured property taxes in accordance with the County’s Teeter Plan, which provides for distribution of property taxes based on 100% of the calculated property tax levy, without regard to delinquencies. This allocation method results in allocation of 100% of the calculated tax increment attributed to secured assessed values. Taxes on unsecured property are not part of the Teeter Plan and are allocated to the extent of actual collections. Adjustments as a result of roll corrections and property tax refunds arising from successful assessment appeals for both secured and unsecured taxes are allocated to local agencies.
Prior to dissolution of the Successor Agency, Available IFD Revenues will consist of Incremental City RPTTF Funds. Incremental City RPTTF Funds are allocated as part of semi-annual distributions of RPTTF funds on January 2nd and June 1st of each year. Funds are allocated by the County to the City, with the portion constituting Incremental City RPTTF Funds subsequently allocated by the City to the Bridge District IFD.
Following dissolution of the Successor Agency, funds available to the Bridge District IFD will consist of Incremental City Property Taxes, which are allocated by the County to the City and will subsequently be transferred from the City to the Bridge District IFD. The County allocates property taxes to the City each year in three installments:
The first installment is allocated in January, which for FY 2023-24 included 51% of current secured property taxes and 99% of unsecured property taxes. The second installment is allocated in May, which for FY 2023-24 included 44% of the current secured property taxes and 1% of unsecured property taxes. The third installment is allocated in August, which for FY 2023-24 included 5% of current secured property taxes and a nominal amount of unsecured property taxes. 787
Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. Page 23
\\SF-FS2\wp\12\12092\016\001-001.docx
The City’s practice has been to allocate up to 100% of the calculated levy to the Bridge District IFD. This approach effectively holds the Bridge District IFD harmless from tax refunds from assessment appeals, property tax delinquencies, and roll corrections, while having the effect of excluding supplemental taxes arising from transfers of ownership or new construction that are not yet reflected on the regular secured and unsecured assessment roll.
The City’s past practice has been to allocate funds to the Bridge District IFD prior to the close of the fiscal year. Allocation of funds to the Bridge District IFD has been a year-to-year budgeting decision of the City and eligible funds have not always been fully allocated to the Bridge District IFD. Following issuance of the Bonds, transfers to the Bridge District IFD from the City will be governed by the Irrevocable Pledge of IFD Revenues to be executed concurrent with issuance of the Bonds, requiring the City to transfer at least the amount of Available IFD Revenue required for debt service on the Bonds semi-annually on or before each February 15th and August 15th.
6.3 Unitary Tax Revenues
Most public utility properties are included on the unitary roll and assessed by the California State Board of Equalization as a single unit on a countywide basis. No unitary tax revenues have been allocated to the Bridge District IFD in the past and none are assumed to be allocated in the future for purposes of the revenue projections presented in Section 8.
6.4 Historic Bridge District IFD Revenues
A summary of calculated Bridge District IFD Revenues for the period FY 2016-17 through FY 2023-24 and actual allocations for the same period is presented in Table 14. Calculated Bridge District IFD Revenue grew from zero in the FY 2014-15 base year to $424,000 in FY 2023-24.
Actual allocations exceeded calculated amounts in most years due to an overstatement of the City revenue share applicable to Incremental City RPTTF Funds. Actual allocations in FY 2016- 17 and FY 2018-19 were less than calculated amounts as allocation of funds to the Bridge District IFD is an annual discretionary City budgeting decision. Following issuance of the Bonds, Available IFD Revenues are required to be allocated to the Bridge District IFD pursuant to the Irrevocable Pledge of IFD Revenues in an amount at least equal to required debt service, reserve fund deposits, and fiscal agent fees for outstanding Bridge District IFD bonds.
Bridge District IFD Revenues in Table 14 do not reflect the $189,057 annual deduction for CFD 12 Revenues that applies to determination of Available IFD Revenues. The CFD 12 amounts are an obligation of the Successor Agency and not the Bridge District IFD but are never-the-less deducted in the determination of Available IFD Revenues pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement and Irrevocable Pledge of IFD Revenues.

Amount does not reflect deduction of the CFD 12 Revenues, which is not an expense of the Bridge District IFD. (2) Actual allocations to the Bridge District IFD exceeded calculated revenues in most years due to application of a City revenue share that exceeded the effective City share calculated in Table 6. Allocations to the IFD have been subject to annual City budgeting decisions and in some cases were less than the calculated amount. The Irrevocable Pledge of IFD Revenues will require Available IFD Revenues to be allocated in an amount at least equal to the debt service requirement for the Bonds.

7.0 NEW DEVELOPMENT
The Bridge District is a planned urban district along the Sacramento River that is being developed under a framework established in the Bridge District Specific Plan. Through the end of 2024, approximately 1,110 residential units and 47,000 square feet of commercial development had been completed or commenced construction. In total, the Bridge District has an approved development capacity of up to 5,210 residential units and 7,290,000 square feet of commercial development, with substantial remaining land available to accommodate future build out of the Bridge District Specific Plan.
Construction-in-progress following the January 1, 2024 lien date for the FY 2024-25 assessment roll includes one project, the Bridge District Phase VI project. Bridge District Phase VI is a mixed use development consisting of 260 rental residential units, 4,300 square feet of retail, and 29,000 square feet of office space. Construction was underway and had progressed to construction of the ground floor parking level as of the end of 2024.
Increases in assessed value from construction-in-progress and future planned development within the Bridge District IFD are not included for purposes of the revenue projections presented in Section 8.

8.0 REVENUE PROJECTION
Projected Available IFD Revenue available for payment of debt service on the Bonds is summarized in Table 15, Table 16 and Table 17. Projections of assessed value are included in Table 18 and 19. Two versions of the projection are presented:
(1) “No Growth Projection” - Table 16, reflects reported FY 2024-25 assessed values. (2) “2% Growth Projection” - Table 17, reflects reported FY 2024-25 assessed values and application of the 2% maximum allowable inflationary increase under Proposition 13 in FY 2025-26 and future years. The projections do not include increases in assessed value from construction in progress or future development.
Available IFD Revenue is calculated based on Bridge District IFD incremental assessed value, multiplied by the 1% basic property tax levy, multiplied by the applicable City share of the 1% tax rate, less estimated County administrative expenses, less the $189,057 CFD 12 Revenue amount in FY 2024-25 through FY 2027-28.
Table 15 summarizes the calculation of annual Available IFD Revenue under the No Growth Projection for the following three periods.
A. FY 2024-25 through FY 2027-28 – A $189,057 annual CFD 12 Revenue amount is excluded from Available IFD Revenues during this period and Available IFD Revenues reflect a net effective property tax share of 25.9485%, as calculated in Table 6.
B. FY 2028-29 to FY 2036-37 - The CFD 12 Revenue amount is no longer deducted, and the net effective property tax share remains 25.9485%.
C. FY 2037-38 to FY 2043-44 - Following Successor Agency Dissolution, the Bridge District IFD property tax share increases to 49.0122%.

9.0 CAVEATS AND LIMITATIONS
The projections reflect assumptions based on KMA's understanding of the assessment, tax apportionment, and pass through calculation procedures employed by the County. The County procedures are subject to change as a reflection of policy revisions or administrative, regulatory or legislative mandate. While we believe our estimates to be reasonable, taxable values resulting from actual appraisals may vary from the amounts assumed in the projections.
Assumptions have also been made that no changes to State legislation are enacted to change or eliminate the allocation of Bridge District IFD revenues.
No assurances are provided by KMA as to the certainty of the projected Available IFD Revenues presented in Tables 15 to 19. Actual revenues may be higher or lower than what has been projected and are subject to valuation changes resulting from new developments or transfers of ownership not specifically identified herein, actual resolution of outstanding appeals, future filing of appeals, changes in assessor valuation standards, or the non-payment of taxes due. The analysis of assessment appeals is based solely upon information provided by the County as of the dates indicated.
KMA is not advising or recommending any action be taken by the City with respect to any prospective new or existing municipal financial products or issuance of municipal securities (including with respect to the structure, timing, terms and other similar matters concerning such financial products or issues). KMA is not acting as a municipal advisor and does not assume any fiduciary duty, including, without limitation, a fiduciary duty pursuant to Section 15B of the Exchange Act. The City should discuss any such information and material contained in this report with internal and/or external advisors and experts, including its own municipal advisors, that it deems appropriate before acting on the information. 795

OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this report is to seek Authority approval of a Bond Purchase Agreement related to the issuance of not to exceed $80,000,000 of bonds (the “EIFD Bonds”) issued by the City of West Sacramento Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District No. 1 (the “EIFD”), approve the related Pledge Agreement and other documents and authorize officers to execute and deliver the EIFD Bonds.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the Authority adopt Resolution 25-46 (Attachment 1) which authorizes the following actions:
1. Approve the Bond Purchase Agreement (Exhibit A) related to the issuance and sale by the EIFD of the City of West Sacramento Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District No. 1 bonds in an amount not to exceed $80,000,000; and
2. Authorize the appropriate officers of the Authority to do any and all things and take any and all actions and execute any and all certificates, agreements and other documents, which they, or any of them, may deem necessary or advisable in order to consummate the transactions described in the resolution.
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Resolution 16-58 adopted on November 16, 2016, the City Council of the City of West Sacramento (the “City Council”) (i) approved the initiation of proceedings to establish the City of West Sacramento Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District No. 1 (the “EIFD”), approved an infrastructure financing plan for the EIFD (the “Infrastructure Financing Plan”) that identified certain public and other specified facilities (the “EIFD Facilities”), and approved the establishment of the City of West Sacramento Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District No. 1 Public Finance Authority (the “EIFD PFA”).
Pursuant to Resolution 17-2 adopted by the EIFD PFA on June 28, 2017, the EIFD PFA established the City of West Sacramento Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District No. 1 (the “EIFD”) and adopted an infrastructure financing plan for the EIFD (the “Infrastructure Financing Plan”) in order to finance certain public and other specified facilities as provided in the Infrastructure Financing Plan that is incorporated herein by reference.
Pursuant to Resolution 24-4 adopted by the EIFD PFA on August 21, 2024, the EIFD PFA authorized the issuance and sale of bonds by the EIFD at the direction of the EIFD PFA, in one or more series, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $686,180,000.
Pursuant to Resolution 24-4, the EIFD PFA also authorized the filing of a judicial validation action with respect to the EIFD and the bonds approved therein pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure, Section 860 et seq. On April 17, 2025, the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Yolo issued a validation judgement in favor of the City and the IFD in Case No.CV2024-2495.
In order to facilitate the sale of the EIFD Bonds, this Authority desires to execute a Bond Purchase Agreement by and between this Authority, the EIFD, and the Underwriters (as such term is defined below).
ANALYSIS
The level of tax increment revenues has approached a level where City staff feel it is prudent for the EIFD to issue bonds. These bonds will be issued by the EIFD and will not be an obligation of the City. 805 Consideration of Authority Resolution 25-46 Approving the Bond Purchase Agreement related to the Sale of EIFD Bonds May 21, 2025
Today’s approval of the Bond Purchase Agreement for the EIFD Bonds is an important step in the financing process. Following today’s approval, staff will work with the City’s financing team (the “Financing Team”) to complete the issuance:
City Attorney / Validation Counsel: Kronick Moskovitz Tiedeman & Girard Bond Counsel: Lozano Smith
Municipal Advisor: Del Rio Advisors, LLC
Fiscal Consultant: Keyser Marston Associates, Inc.
Co-Underwriters: Piper Sandler & Co.
Hilltop Securities, Inc.
Underwriter’s Counsel: Kutak Rock LLP
Fiscal Agent: U.S. Bank – Global Corporate Trust
Pursuant to the EIFD Law (Government Code section 53998.50), this Authority’s participation is needed in order for the EIFD to sell the bonds on a negotiated basis to the Underwriters.
The following documents are associated with the issuance of the EIFD Bonds and are part of this agenda item:
Bond Purchase Agreement: (the “Bond Purchase Agreement”) between the EIFD, the West Sacramento Financing Authority (the “JPA”), and Piper Sandler & Co., on behalf of itself and on behalf of Hilltop Securities, Inc. (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the EIFD Bonds will be sold to the JPA and then sold by the JPA to the Underwriters in a manner consistent with California Government Code, Section 6589.
Environmental Considerations
This item approval is not a project that is subject to CEQA because it is not an activity that may cause either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21065; CEQA Guidelines §§ 15060(c), 15378(a).)
Commission Recommendation
Not applicable
Strategic Plan Integration
This item is directly related to multiple current and past Strategic Plan items, including the following:
Fiscal Strategy: Sales Tax Measure For Core Services & Infrastructure Bond (2024) EIFD Policies/Development Tools (2020, 2021)
EIFD Implementation (2016, 2017)
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 costs of issuing the EIFD Bonds will be paid from bond proceeds. The City has funded the cost of the validation process and will be seeking reimbursement of this cost from bond proceeds.

Agreement. The Bonds shall be payable and subject to redemption as provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement and as provided in Exhibit A hereto. The Bonds are legal, valid and binding limited obligations of the District, secured by and payable solely from the Tax Increment Revenues and the funds pledged therefore under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, as defined and described in the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Bonds are being issued to fund (i) the acquisition of certain public facilities and improvements authorized to be financed by the District, (ii) a deposit to a reserve account for the Bonds and (iii) the costs of issuance of the Bonds, all as further described in the Fiscal Agent Agreement and the Official Statement.
Section 4. Establishment of Issue Price.
(a) The Representative, on behalf of the Underwriters, agree to assist the District in establishing the issue price of the Bonds and shall execute and deliver to the District at Closing an “issue price” or similar certificate, together with the supporting pricing wires or equivalent communications, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, with such modifications as may be appropriate or necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Representative, the District and Bond Counsel, to accurately reflect, as applicable, the sales price or prices or the initial offering price or prices to the public of the Bonds. All actions to be taken by the District under this section to establish the issue price of the Bonds may be taken on behalf of the District by the District’s municipal advisor, Del Rio Advisors, LLC (the “Municipal Advisor”) and any notice or report to be provided to the District may be provided to the Municipal Advisor. (b) Except as otherwise set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and (c) below, the District will treat the first price at which 10% of each maturity of the Bonds (the “10% test”) is sold to the public as the issue price of that maturity. At or promptly after the execution of this Purchase Agreement, the Representative shall report to the District the price or prices at which it has sold to the public each maturity of Bonds. If at that time the 10% test has not been satisfied as to any maturity of the Bonds, the Representative agrees to promptly report to the District the prices at which it sells the unsold Bonds of that maturity to the public. That reporting obligation shall continue, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until either (i) the Underwriters have sold all Bonds of that maturity or (ii) the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided that, the Representative’s reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the District or Bond Counsel. For purposes of this Section, if Bonds mature on the same date but have different interest rates, each separate CUSIP number within that maturity will be treated as a separate maturity of the Bonds. (c) The Representative confirms that the Underwriters have offered the Bonds to the public on or before the date of this Purchase Agreement at the offering price or prices (the “initial offering price”), or at the corresponding yield or yields, set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. Exhibit A also sets forth, as of the date of this Purchase Agreement, the maturities, if any, for which the Representative represents that the 10% test has not been satisfied and for which the District and the Representative, on behalf of the Underwriters, agrees that the restrictions set forth in the next sentence shall apply, which will allow the District to treat the initial offering price to the public of each such maturity as of the sale date as the issue price of that maturity (the “hold-the-offering-price rule”). So long as the hold-the-offering-price rule remains applicable to any maturity of the Bonds, the Underwriters will neither offer nor sell unsold Bonds of that 811
EXHIBIT A
4878-2130-5591 4 Bond Purchase Agreement
maturity to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price to the public during the period starting on the sale date and ending on the earlier of the following:
(1) the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date; or (2) the date on which the Underwriters have sold at least 10% of that maturity of the Bonds to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public.
The Representative will advise the District promptly after the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date whether it has sold 10% of that maturity of the Bonds to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public. (d) The Representative confirms that:
(i) any agreement among underwriters, any selling group agreement and each third-party distribution agreement (to which the Representative is a party) relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each Underwriter, each dealer who is a member of the selling group and each broker-dealer that is a party to such third-party distribution agreement, as applicable,
(A) (i) to report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allocated to it, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred until either all Bonds of that maturity allocated to it have been sold or it is notified by the Representative that the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided that, the reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the Underwriters, and (ii) to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, if and for so long as directed by the Representative,
(B) to promptly notify the Representative of any sales of Bonds that, to its knowledge, are made to a purchaser who is a related party to an underwriter participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (each such term being used as defined below), and
(C) to acknowledge that, unless otherwise advised by the dealer or broker-dealer, the Representative shall assume that each order submitted by the dealer or broker-dealer is a sale to the public.
(ii) any agreement among underwriters or selling group agreement relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each Underwriter or dealer that is a party to a thirdparty distribution agreement to be employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public to require each broker-dealer that is a party to such third-party distribution agreement to (A) report the prices at which it sells to the public any unsold Bonds of each maturity allocated to it, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until either all Bonds of that maturity allocated to it have been sold or it is notified by the Representative or such Underwriter or dealer that the 10% test has been satisfied as to the 812
EXHIBIT A
4878-2130-5591 5 Bond Purchase Agreement
Bonds of that maturity, and (B) comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to a particular maturity of the Bonds, if and for so long as directed by the Representative or the Underwriter or the dealer and as set forth in the related pricing wires.
(e) The District acknowledges that, in making the representations set forth in this section, the Representative will rely on (i) the agreement of each Underwriter to comply with the requirements for establishing the issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, each Underwriter’s agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in an agreement among underwriters and the related pricing wires, (ii) in the event a selling group has been created in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each dealer who is a member of the selling group to comply with the requirements for establishing the issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in a selling group agreement and the related pricing wires, and (iii) in the event that an Underwriter or dealer who is a member of the selling group is a party to a third-party distribution agreement that was employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each broker-dealer that is a party to such agreement to comply with the requirements for establishing the issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in the third-party distribution agreement and the related pricing wires. The District further acknowledges that each Underwriter shall be solely liable for its failure to comply with its agreement regarding the requirements for establishing the issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, and that no Underwriter shall be liable for the failure of any other Underwriter, or of any dealer who is a member of a selling group, or of any broker-dealer that is a party to a thirdparty distribution agreement, to comply with its corresponding agreement to comply with the requirements for establishing the issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to the Bonds. (f) The Underwriters acknowledge that sales of any Bonds to any person that is a related party to an underwriter participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (each such term being used as defined below) shall not constitute sales to the public for purposes of this section. Further, for purposes of this section:
(i) “public” means any person other than an underwriter or a related party, (ii) “underwriter” means (A) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract with the District (or with the lead underwriter to form an underwriting syndicate) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public and (B) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract directly or indirectly with a person described in clause (A) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (including a member of a selling group or a party to a third-party distribution agreement participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public),
(iii) a purchaser of any of the Bonds is a “related party” to an underwriter if the underwriter and the purchaser are subject, directly or indirectly, to (i) more than 50% 813

(b) The Underwriters are not in material violation of, or in material breach of or in material default under, any applicable law, regulation, order or agreement to which such Underwriters are a party or by which such Underwriters are bound, which violation or breach would have a material adverse effect on such Underwriters’ ability to execute, deliver and perform this Purchase Agreement.

SUBJECT:
CONSIDERATION OF WEST SACRAMENTO FINANCING AUTHORITY RESOLUTION
APPROVING THE FORM OF AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THE
BOND PURCHASE AGREEMENT RELATED TO THE CITY OF WEST SACRAMENTO INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 1 (BRIDGE DISTRICT AREA) TAX INCREMENT BONDS; APPROVING OTHER ACTIONS RELATED TO THE BONDS INITIATED OR REQUESTED BY: REPORT COORDINATED OR PREPARED BY:
Roberta Raper, Finance Director
Finance Department
[ ] Council [X] Staff

ATTACHMENT [X] Yes [ ] No [ ] Information [ ] Direction [X] Action
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this report is to seek authorization for execution and delivery of the Bond Purchase Agreement related to the issuance of not to exceed $6,500,000 of bonds (the “IFD Bonds”) issued by the City of West Sacramento Infrastructure Financing District No. 1 (Bridge District Area) (the “IFD”) and authorizing officers to execute and deliver the Bond Purchase Agreement and to purchase and sell the IFD Bonds as provided herein.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully recommends that the West Sacramento Financing Authority adopt Resolution 25-47 (Attachment 1) which authorizes the following actions:
1. Authorize the execution and delivery of the Bond Purchase Agreement (Exhibit A), in substantially the form presented at this meeting related to the sale of City of West Sacramento Infrastructure District No. 1 bonds in an amount not to exceed $6,500,000; and
2. Authorize the appropriate officers of the Authority to do any and all things and to execute and deliver any and all documents that they may deem necessary or advisable in order to complete the sale, issuance, and delivery of the Bonds and otherwise to carry out, give effect to, and comply with the terms and intent of this resolution
BACKGROUND
Resolution 14-37 adopted by the City Council on June 4, 2014, proposed the adoption of the Infrastructure Financing Plan, the establishment of Infrastructure Financing District No. 1 (Bridge District Area), the establishment of an appropriations limit, and called an election to approve said actions. On June 4, 2014, the City Council adopted Resolution 14-38 whereby the City Council declared its intent for the IFD to issue bonds and called for an election to issue said bonds. A special election was held on October 8, 2014, at which time the qualified electors within the IFD approved the actions proposed in Resolution 14-37 and Resolution 14-38.
Pursuant to Ordinance 14-12 adopted by the City Council on November 5, 2014, the City Council established the IFD and adopted an infrastructure financing plan for the IFD (the “Infrastructure Financing Plan”) in order to finance certain public facilities (the “IFD Facilities”).
Pursuant to Resolution 24-86 adopted by the City Council on August 21, 2024, the City Council, as the legislative body of the IFD, approved the issuance of Bonds by the IFD, in one or more series, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $233,000,000. Pursuant to Resolution 24-86, the City Council also authorized the filing of a judicial validation action with respect to the IFD and the bonds approved therein pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure, Section 860 et seq. On April 17, 2025, the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Yolo issued a validation judgement in favor of the City and the IFD in Case No. CV2024-2495.
In order to facilitate the sale of the IFD Bonds, this Authority desires to execute a Bond Purchase Agreement by and between this Authority, the IFD, and the Underwriters (as such term is defined below).
ANALYSIS
The level of tax increment revenues has approached a level where City staff feel it is prudent for the IFD to issue bonds. These bonds will be issued by the IFD and will not be an obligation of the City. 838
Consideration of Resolution 25-47 Authorizing Bond Purchase Agreement for Issuance and Sale of IFD Bonds May 21, 2025
Today’s approval of the Bond Purchase Agreement for the IFD Bonds is an important step in the financing process. Following today’s approval, staff will work with the City’s financing team (the “Financing Team”) to complete the financing process:
City Attorney / Validation Counsel: Kronick Moskovitz Tiedeman & Girard Bond Counsel: Lozano Smith
Municipal Advisor: Del Rio Advisors, LLC
Fiscal Consultant: Keyser Marston Associates, Inc.
Co-Underwriters: Piper Sandler & Co.
Hilltop Securities, Inc.
Underwriter’s Counsel: Kutak Rock LLP
Fiscal Agent: U.S. Bank – Global Corporate Trust
Pursuant to the IFD Law (Government Code section 53395 et. seq.), this Authority’s participation is needed in order for the IFD to sell the bonds on a negotiated basis to the Underwriters.
The following document is associated with the issuance of the IFD Bonds as part of the attached agenda item:
Bond Purchase Agreement: (the ”Bond Purchase Agreement”) between the IFD, the West Sacramento Financing Authority (the “JPA”), and Piper Sandler & Co., on behalf of itself and on behalf of Hilltop Securities, Inc. (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the IFD Bonds will be sold to the Authority and then sold by the Authority to the Underwriters in a manner consistent with California Government Code, Section 6589.
Environmental Considerations
This item approval is not a project that is subject to CEQA because it is not an activity that may cause either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21065; CEQA Guidelines §§ 15060(c), 15378(a).)
Commission Recommendation
Not applicable
Strategic Plan Integration
This item is in support of the Council’s 2024 Strategic Plan Policy Agenda item “Fiscal Strategy: Sales Tax Measure for Core Services & Infrastructure Bond.”
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 costs of issuing the IFD Bonds will be paid from bond proceeds. The City has funded the cost of the validation process and will be seeking reimbursement of this cost from bond proceeds.

The District authorizes the Representative to file, and the Representative hereby agrees to file at or prior to the Closing Date, the Official Statement with the MSRB, or its designees in accordance with MSRB Rule G-32. The Official Statement, including the appendices thereto, any documents incorporated therein by reference, and any supplements or amendments thereto on or prior to the Closing Date is herein referred to as the “Official Statement.”
Section 3. Description of the Bonds. The Bonds shall be substantially in the form described in, shall be issued and secured under the provisions of and shall be payable as provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Bonds will be issued pursuant to Chapter 2.99 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 (commencing with section 53395) of the Government Code of the State of California, as amended (the “IFD Law”), Resolution No. 24-86, adopted by the City Council of the City of West Sacramento (the “City Council”), as the legislative body of the District on August 21, 2024, and Resolution No. ____, adopted by the City Council on March ___, 2025 (together, the “District Resolutions”), approving the issuance and sale of bonds in one or more series, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $[NTE AMOUNT], and the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Bonds shall be payable and subject to redemption as provided in the Fiscal 843
EXHIBIT A
4922-9944-3225 3 Bond Purchase Agreement
Agent Agreement and as provided in Exhibit A hereto. The Bonds are legal, valid and binding limited obligations of the District, secured by and payable solely from the Tax Increment Revenues and the funds pledged therefore under the Fiscal Agent Agreement, as defined and described in the Fiscal Agent Agreement. The Bonds are being issued to fund (i) the acquisition of certain public facilities and improvements authorized to be financed by the District, (ii) a deposit to a reserve account for the Bonds and (iii) the costs of issuance of the Bonds, all as further described in the Fiscal Agent Agreement and the Official Statement.
Section 4. Establishment of Issue Price.
(a) The Representative, on behalf of the Underwriters, agree to assist the District in establishing the issue price of the Bonds and shall execute and deliver to the District at Closing an “issue price” or similar certificate, together with the supporting pricing wires or equivalent communications, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, with such modifications as may be appropriate or necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Representative, the District and Bond Counsel, to accurately reflect, as applicable, the sales price or prices or the initial offering price or prices to the public of the Bonds. All actions to be taken by the District under this section to establish the issue price of the Bonds may be taken on behalf of the District by the District’s municipal advisor, Del Rio Advisors, LLC (the “Municipal Advisor”) and any notice or report to be provided to the District may be provided to the Municipal Advisor. (b) Except as otherwise set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and (c) below, the District will treat the first price at which 10% of each maturity of the Bonds (the “10% test”) is sold to the public as the issue price of that maturity. At or promptly after the execution of this Purchase Agreement, the Representative shall report to the District the price or prices at which it has sold to the public each maturity of Bonds. If at that time the 10% test has not been satisfied as to any maturity of the Bonds, the Representative agrees to promptly report to the District the prices at which it sells the unsold Bonds of that maturity to the public. That reporting obligation shall continue, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until either (i) the Underwriters have sold all Bonds of that maturity or (ii) the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided that, the Representative’s reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the District or Bond Counsel. For purposes of this Section, if Bonds mature on the same date but have different interest rates, each separate CUSIP number within that maturity will be treated as a separate maturity of the Bonds. (c) The Representative confirms that the Underwriters have offered the Bonds to the public on or before the date of this Purchase Agreement at the offering price or prices (the “initial offering price”), or at the corresponding yield or yields, set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. Exhibit A also sets forth, as of the date of this Purchase Agreement, the maturities, if any, for which the Representative represents that the 10% test has not been satisfied and for which the District and the Representative, on behalf of the Underwriters, agrees that the restrictions set forth in the next sentence shall apply, which will allow the District to treat the initial offering price to the public of each such maturity as of the sale date as the issue price of that maturity (the “hold-the-offering-price rule”). So long as the hold-the-offering-price rule remains applicable to any maturity of the Bonds, the Underwriters will neither offer nor sell unsold Bonds of that maturity to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price to the public during the period starting on the sale date and ending on the earlier of the following:
844
EXHIBIT A
4922-9944-3225 4 Bond Purchase Agreement
(1) the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date; or (2) the date on which the Underwriters have sold at least 10% of that maturity of the Bonds to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public.
The Representative will advise the District promptly after the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date whether it has sold 10% of that maturity of the Bonds to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public. (d) The Representative confirms that:
(i) any agreement among underwriters, any selling group agreement and each third-party distribution agreement (to which the Representative is a party) relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each Underwriter, each dealer who is a member of the selling group and each broker-dealer that is a party to such third-party distribution agreement, as applicable,
(A) (i) to report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allocated to it, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred until either all Bonds of that maturity allocated to it have been sold or it is notified by the Representative that the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided that, the reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the Underwriters, and (ii) to comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable, if and for so long as directed by the Representative,
(B) to promptly notify the Representative of any sales of Bonds that, to its knowledge, are made to a purchaser who is a related party to an underwriter participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (each such term being used as defined below), and
(C) to acknowledge that, unless otherwise advised by the dealer or broker-dealer, the Representative shall assume that each order submitted by the dealer or broker-dealer is a sale to the public.
(ii) any agreement among underwriters or selling group agreement relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each Underwriter or dealer that is a party to a thirdparty distribution agreement to be employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public to require each broker-dealer that is a party to such third-party distribution agreement to (A) report the prices at which it sells to the public any unsold Bonds of each maturity allocated to it, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until either all Bonds of that maturity allocated to it have been sold or it is notified by the Representative or such Underwriter or dealer that the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, and (B) comply with the hold-the-offering-price rule, if applicable to a particular maturity of the Bonds, if and for so long as directed by the 845

I respectfully request that we recognize June 6th as National Gun Violence Awareness Day through a city proclamation at our upcoming June 4th Council meeting. West Sacramento is home to the Yolo County chapter of Moms Demand Action, a dedicated group actively working to advance peace and prevent gun violence across our region.
Recent tragic incidents involving gun violence in our city’s parks and neighborhoods, particularly those affecting our youth, underscore the urgent need to elevate community awareness and reinforce our commitment to reducing gun violence.
As member of Mayors against Illegal Guns, below their sample resolution we can work on to draft our city's proclamation.
I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this proclamation as a reflection of our shared responsibility to promote safety and well-being for all residents.
Thank you,
Martha
JUNE 6 IS NATIONAL GUN VIOLENCE AWARENESS DAY
Every year, the gun violence prevention movement comes together on the first Friday in June to mark National Gun Violence Awareness Day by wearing the color orange. This year on June 6, we will Wear Orange again to honor the 125 people shot and killed every day in the United States, as well as the many more who are wounded.
Why orange? It was the color that Hadiya Pendleton’s friends wore in her honor when she was shot and killed in Chicago at the age of 15 — just one week after performing at President Obama’s 2nd inaugural parade in 2013. They chose the color orange because it’s the color that hunters wear in the woods to protect themselves and others. It’s a color that demands change to end gun violence.
Ways to participate:

We recognize that the City Council agenda is busy and appreciate any opportunity to present and discuss the findings in the coming months. Do you have any openings for the 15 minute presentation in the coming months?
