TITLE: Resolution No. 2020-63: Underground Utility Assessment District
No. 111 — Authorization of Limited Obligation Improvement Bonds
ABSTRACT:
Staff requests City Council to authorize the issuance of limited obligation improvement
bonds and the execution and delivery of all legal documents, substantially to form,
necessary to issue limited obligation improvement bonds to finance the remaining unpaid
assessments in Assessment District No. 111. The proposed bond issue is secured by
private properties within the district and the City is in no way responsible for repaying this
obligation.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because
this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly;
b) Adopt Resolution No. 2020-63, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport
Beach, California, Authorizing the Issuance and Sale of Limited Obligation
Improvements Bonds with Respect to Assessment District No. 111 (Attachment A);
and
c) Authorize the City Manager and or designee to take any and all actions necessary to
execute and deliver any and all documents deemed necessary or advisable in
consultation with the City Attorney and Bond Counsel in order to carry out the intent
of this resolution, the Fiscal Agent Agreement and the Term Sheet.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
The cost of the project and financing are borne by the residents that electively self-
assessed themselves for the cost of the project and financing. In no event shall the City
be liable for the payment of the principal of or interest on the bonds.

Authorization of Limited Obligation Improvement Bonds

DISCUSSION:
Underground Utility Assessment District No. 111 (AD 111) is the area bounded by
Newport Boulevard, 23rd Street, Ocean Front W. and 31st Street (Attachment B). The City
Council has previously indicated its intention to issue limited obligation improvement
bonds pursuant to the provisions of the Improvement Bond Act of 1915 (Act) in a principal
amount not to exceed the unpaid assessments of AD 111.
On January 12, 2016, a public hearing and vote was held, at which time it was determined
that a weighted majority of the ballots received were in favor of forming AD 111. As such,
Council adopted a resolution approving the Final Engineer's report, approving and
confirming a total assessment of $3,426,186 on the parcels determined to be specially
benefited by the undergrounding project as indicated in the Final Engineer's Report,
designating AD 111 as an underground utilities district, and declaring the intention to
issue bonds.
In February 2016, a cash collection period was opened to afford property owners the
opportunity to prepay all or any portion of the assessments levied upon their parcel or
parcels at a 7.3% discount since certain prepaid financing costs could otherwise be
avoided if bond financing was not required as follows:
Bond Reserve 5.00%
Capitalized Interest 1.30%
Underwriter's Discount 1.00%
Total 7.30%
The cash collection period expired on March 30, 2020 and an Amended Notice of
Assessment was recorded on April 21, 2020, in the official records of the County Recorder
of the County of Orange, discharging the liens on those parcels for which the assessment
had been fully paid. Cash payments totaling $940,708 were received, representing 30%
of the discounted value of the assessments. The sum of the cash payments, together with
the $73,423 assumed financing cost previously included in the total assessment, reduces
the remaining amount of unpaid assessments to $2,412,055 as depicted below.
Assessment levied — cost of improvement project and financing
$3,426,186
Less: City received — prepaid contributions from property owners
$940,708
Less: Exercised financing discount
$73,423
Remaining unpaid assessment amount
$2,412,055
Due to extreme financial market volatility in March 2020, the sale of municipal securities
in the public market became severely disrupted. Based on the analysis at the time, a
private placement was determined to be more cost effective than a public offering. The
successful placement bank offered a financing rate at 2.35% for 20 years with a rate lock
through June 26, 2020. The rate lock was particularly attractive during a time of significant
market volatility, which, unlike a public offering, protected the financing against interest
rate risk.

The financing team recommends proceeding with a private placement. A more detailed
analysis is included with this report as Attachment E.
If Council wishes to proceed with financing the remaining unpaid assessments, City
Council should adopt a resolution, included with this report as Attachment A, to authorize
the issuance of bonds pursuant to the Act, designated the "City of Newport Beach
Assessment District No. 111" in a principal amount not to exceed $2,412,055, to complete
the funding for the Undergrounding Project, to fund a reserve fund and to pay incidental
costs of the Assessment District proceedings and the costs of issuance for the Bonds.
This resolution would also authorize the form, execution and delivery of all documents
necessary to issue and deliver the bonds including:
(1) Fiscal Agent Agreement, a document between the City and US
Bank National Association which governs the terms of the Bonds
(Attachment C); and
(2) Term Sheet, a document between the City and City National Bank,
or an affiliate thereof, which details the terms of the Bonds
(Attachment D).
This resolution also authorizes officers of the City to take any and all actions necessary
to execute and deliver any and all documents deemed necessary or advisable in
consultation with the City Attorney, Bond Counsel and Disclosure Counsel in order to
carry out the intent of this resolution, the Fiscal Agent Agreement and the Term Sheet. In
accordance with the City's Debt Management Policy (F-6), Exhibit A of this resolution
provides additional information relating to the issuance of Bonds, including: the maximum
term, estimated maximum annual debt service, call provisions, estimated cost of issuance
and a list of consultants hired for this issuance.
Also, as required by F-6, included as an attachment to this Staff Report, is a memo from
Urban Futures, Inc., the Independent Registered Municipal Advisor (IRMA) for this
issuance, recommending a private placement of bonds. Included in that memo, also in
order to comply with F-6, is the analyses of all financing scenarios considered.
Finally, per the requirements of Senate Bill 450, Attachment F contains the good faith
estimates provided by Urban Futures, Inc.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this project exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Class 2 Section 15302 (d) (conversion of
overhead electrical utility distribution lines where the surface is restored to the condition
existing prior to the undergrounding) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of
Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it will not have an adverse effect on the
environment.

for payment on the Outstanding Bonds.
Payment of interest on and principal of the Bonds due on or before the maturity or prior
redemption thereof shall be made directly by wire transfer to the then Owner of the Bonds pursuant to
instructions to be provided from time to time by the then Owner to the Fiscal Agent.

4836-0134-3928x3/022459-0023
18-25

Bonds are issued under and pursuant to the 1915 Act and under and pursuant hereto shall be conclusive
evidence of their validity and of the regularity of their issuance and all Bonds shall be incontestable
from and after their issuance. Bonds shall be deemed to be issued, within the meaning hereof,
whenever the definitive Bonds (or any temporary Bonds exchangeable therefor) have been delivered
to the purchaser thereof and the purchase price thereof received.
Section 302. Execution and Authentication. The Bonds shall be signed on behalf of the
City by the manual or facsimile signature of the Treasurer of the City and by the manual or facsimile
signature of the City Clerk in their capacity as officers of the City, and the seal of the City (or a

accordance with its terms, be transferred upon the Bond Register by the person in whose name it is
registered, in person or by his or her duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of such Bond for
cancellation at the aforesaid office of the Fiscal Agent, accompanied by delivery of a written instrument
of transfer in a form acceptable to the Fiscal Agent and duly executed by the Owner or his or her duly
authorized attorney. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Owner of 2020A Bonds may only transfer the
2020A Bonds to a new Owner if the 2020A Bonds are transferred in whole and the new Owner has
delivered an Investor Letter (in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto) to the City and the Fiscal Agent.
Bonds may be exchanged at the aforesaid office of the Fiscal Agent for a like aggregate
principal amount of Bonds of other authorized denominations of the same maturity. The Fiscal Agent
will not charge the Owner for any new Bond issued upon any exchange or transfer, but shall require
the Owner requesting such exchange or transfer to pay any tax or other governmental charge required
to be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer. The cost of printing any Bonds and any services
rendered or any expenses incurred by the Fiscal Agent in connection with any exchange or transfer
shall be paid by the City as Administrative Expenses. Whenever any Bond or Bonds shall be

amount; provided, that the Fiscal Agent shall not be required to register transfers or make exchanges

redemption, or (b) with respect to a Bond after such Bond has been selected for redemption.
Section 304. Bond Register. The Fiscal Agent will keep or cause to be kept, at its corporate
trust office, sufficient books for the registration and transfer of the Bonds which shall at all times during
regular business hours upon reasonable prior notice be open to inspection by the City; and, upon

0
4836-0134-3928x3/022459-0023
18-26
prescribe, register or transfer or cause to be transferred on said Bond Register, Bonds as herein
provided.
The City and the Fiscal Agent may treat the Owner of any Bond whose name appears on the
Bond Register as the absolute Owner of such Bond for any and all purposes, and the City and the Fiscal
Agent shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. The City and the Fiscal Agent may rely on
the address of the Owner as it appears in the Bond Register for any and all purposes. It shall be the
duty of the Bondowner to give written notice to the Fiscal Agent of any change in the Owner's address
so that the Bond Register may be revised accordingly.
Section 305. Mutilated, Lost, Destroyed or Stolen Bonds. If any Bond shall become
mutilated, the City shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of
like tenor, date, maturity and principal amount in exchange and substitution for the Bond so mutilated,
but only upon surrender to the Fiscal Agent of the Bond so mutilated. Every mutilated Bond so
surrendered to the Fiscal Agent shall be handled in accordance with Section 1201 of this Agreement.
If any Bond shall be lost, destroyed or stolen, evidence of such loss, destruction or theft may be
submitted to the Fiscal Agent; and, if such evidence is satisfactory to the Fiscal Agent and, if indemnity
satisfactory to the Fiscal Agent shall be given, the City, at the expense of the Bondowner, shall execute
and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like tenor and maturity, numbered
and dated as such Fiscal Agent shall determine in lieu of and in substitution for the Bond so lost,
destroyed or stolen. Any Bond issued in lieu of any Bond alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen shall
be equally and proportionately entitled to the benefits hereof with all other Bonds issued hereunder.
The Fiscal Agent shall not treat both the original Bond and any replacement Bond as being Outstanding
Bonds for the purpose of determining the principal amount of Bonds which may be executed,
authenticated and delivered or for the purpose of determining any percentage of Bonds Outstanding
hereunder, but both the original and replacement bond shall be treated as one and the same.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, in lieu of delivering a new Bond to replace a Bond
which has been mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen, and which has matured or is about to mature, the
Fiscal Agent may make payment with respect to such Bond upon receipt of indemnity satisfactory to
it and the City.
Section 306. Form of Bonds; Temporary Bonds. At the option of the City, the definitive
Bonds may be typewritten, and the Bonds and the certificate of authentication shall be substantially in
the form provided in Section 604.
Until definitive Bonds shall be prepared, the City may cause to be executed and delivered, in
lieu of such definitive Bonds, temporary Bonds in typed, written, printed, lithographed or engraved
form and in fully registered form, subject to the same provisions, limitations and conditions as are
applicable in the case of definitive Bonds, except that they may be in any denominations authorized by
the City. Until exchanged for definitive Bonds, any temporary Bonds shall be entitled and subject to
the same benefits and provisions of this Agreement as definitive Bonds. If the City issues temporary
Bonds, it will execute and furnish definitive Bonds without unnecessary delay and thereupon any
temporary Bond may be surrendered to the Fiscal Agent at the aforesaid office, without expense to the
Owner, in exchange for a definitive Bond of the same maturity, interest rate and principal amount in
any authorized denomination. All temporary Bonds so surrendered shall be canceled by the Fiscal
Agent and shall not be reissued.

Bonds, each of the remaining mandatory sinking fund payments for such 2020A Bonds, as described
above, will be reduced, as nearly as practicable, on a pro rata basis as directed by the City.
Section 402. Selection of Bonds for Redemption. If less than all of the Outstanding Bonds
are to be redeemed, the City shall designate the principal amount of Bonds of each maturity to be
redeemed as provided for in Section 8768 of the 1915 Act such that the ratio of Outstanding Bonds to
issued Bonds shall be approximately the same in each maturity of the Bonds insofar as possible, and
the Fiscal Agent shall select the particular Bonds to be redeemed from each maturity in said designated
amount by lot in such manner as the Fiscal Agent may choose. The Fiscal Agent shall promptly notify
the City in writing of the Bonds, or portions thereof, selected for redemption.
In lieu, or partially in lieu, of such call and redemption, moneys deposited in the Redemption
Fund may be used to purchase Outstanding Bonds in the manner hereinafter provided. Purchases of
Outstanding Bonds may be made by the City prior to the selection of Bonds for redemption by the
Fiscal Agent, at public or private sale as and when and at such prices as the City may in its discretion
determine, but only at prices (including brokerage or other expenses) of not more than par, plus the
premium, if any, which would be payable with respect to such Bonds upon the redemption thereof,
plus accrued interest, and any accrued interest payable upon the purchase of Bonds may be paid from
the amount in the Interest Account of the Redemption Fund for payment of interest on the next
following Interest Payment Date. The Fiscal Agent shall disburse moneys in the Redemption Fund for
such purpose upon written direction of the City.

Section 403. Notice of Redemption. When Bonds are to be called for redemption under
Section 401(a) or (b) and the Fiscal Agent has received the required notice from the City, the Fiscal
Agent shall give notice, in the name of the City, of the redemption of such Bonds. Such notice of
redemption shall (a) specify the serial numbers and the maturity date or dates of the Bonds selected for
redemption, except that where all the Bonds subject to redemption, or all the Bonds of one maturity,
are to be redeemed, the serial numbers thereof need not be specified; (b) state the date fixed for
redemption and for surrender of the Bonds to be redeemed; (c) state the redemption price; (d) state the
place or places where the Bonds are to be surrendered for redemption; and (e) in the case of Bonds to
be redeemed only in part, state the portion of such Bond which is to be redeemed. Such notice shall
further state that on the date fixed for redemption, there shall become due and payable on each Bond
or portion thereof called for redemption, the principal thereof, together with any premium, and interest
accrued to the redemption date, and that from and after such date, interest thereon shall cease to accrue
and be payable. At least thirty (30) days but no more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date,
the Fiscal Agent shall mail a copy of such notice, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to
the respective Owners of Bonds selected for redemption at their addresses appearing on the Bond
Register. The actual receipt by the Owner of any Bond of notice of such redemption shall not be a
condition precedent thereto, and failure to receive such notice shall not affect the validity of the
proceedings for the redemption of such Bonds, or the cessation of interest on the redemption date. A
certificate by the Fiscal Agent that notice of such redemption has been given as herein provided shall
be conclusive as against all parties.
A notice of redemption for a redemption pursuant to Section 401(b) above may be conditioned
upon receipt by the City of sufficient funds to effect the redemption. If sufficient funds are not on
deposit with the Fiscal Agent at least one day prior to the redemption date, the redemption shall not
occur and the Bonds shall remain Outstanding hereunder. If any redemption is cancelled due to a lack

of such unpaid Assessment Installments and, if the amount apportioned to each parcel exceeds the
amount of said last installment, then such excess shall be credited against the next to last of such
Assessment Installments.
Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, moneys in the Reserve Fund in excess
of the Reserve Requirement shall be withdrawn from the Reserve Fund by the Fiscal Agent on or
before each February 15 and August 15, and shall be transferred to the Interest Account, the Principal
Account or the Prepayment Account in an amount directed in writing by an Authorized Representative

Rebate Account and Alternative Penalty Account therein. All money at any time deposited in the
Rebate Account or the Alternative Penalty Account of the Rebate Fund shall be held by the Fiscal
Agent, for payment to the United States Treasury. All amounts on deposit in the Rebate Fund with
respect to the Bonds shall be governed by this Section 506 and the Tax Certificate, unless the City
obtains an opinion of Bond Counsel that the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax
17
4836-0134-3928x3/022459-0023
18-34
purposes of interest payments on the Bonds will not be adversely affected if such requirements are not
satisfied.
(i) Rebate Account. The following requirements shall be satisfied with respect to
the Rebate Account:
(A) Annual Computation. Within 55 days of the end of each Bond Year,
the City shall calculate or cause to be calculated the amount of rebatable arbitrage for the Bonds in
accordance with Section 148(f)(2) of the Code and Section 1.148-3 of the Rebate Regulations (taking
into account any applicable exceptions with respect to the computation of the rebatable arbitrage
described in the Tax Certificate (e.g., the temporary investments exceptions of Section 148(f)(4)(B)
and (C) of the Code), and taking into account whether the election pursuant to Section 148(f)(4)(C)(vii)
of the Code (the "1'/2% Penalty") has been made), for this purpose treating the last day of the applicable
Bond Year as a computation date, within the meaning of Section 1.148-1(b) of the Rebate Regulations
(the "Rebatable Arbitrage"). The City shall obtain expert advice as to the amount of the Rebatable
Arbitrage to comply with this Section.
(B) Annual Transfer. Within 55 days of the end of each Bond Year for
which Rebatable Arbitrage must be calculated as required by the Tax Certificate, upon the written
direction of an Authorized Representative of the City, an amount shall be deposited to the Rebate
Account by the Fiscal Agent from any funds so designated by the City if and to the extent required, so
that the balance in the Rebate Account shall equal the amount of Rebatable Arbitrage so calculated by
or on behalf of the City in accordance with (i)(A) above. In the event that immediately following any
transfer required by the previous sentence, or the date on which the City determines that no transfer is
required for such Bond Year, the amount then on deposit to the credit of the Rebate Account exceeds
the amount required to be on deposit therein, upon written instructions from an Authorized
Representative of the City, the Fiscal Agent shall withdraw the excess from the Rebate Account and
then credit the excess to the Assessment Fund.
(C) Payment to the Treasury. The Fiscal Agent shall pay, as directed in
writing by an Authorized Representative of the City, to the United States Treasury, out of amounts in
the Rebate Account,

for the Bonds, and (B) each applicable fifth Bond Year thereafter, an amount equal to at least 90% of
the Rebatable Arbitrage calculated as of the end of such Bond Year for the Bonds, as applicable; and
(2) Not later than 60 days after the payment or redemption of all of
the Bonds, as applicable, an amount equal to 100% of the Rebatable Arbitrage calculated as of the end
of such applicable Bond Year, and any income attributable to the Rebatable Arbitrage, computed in
accordance with Section 148(f) of the Code.
In the event that, prior to the time of any payment required to be made from the Rebate
Account, the amount in the Rebate Account is not sufficient to make such payment when such payment
is due, the City shall calculate or cause to be calculated the amount of such deficiency and deposit an
amount received from any legally available source equal to such deficiency prior to the time such
payment is due. Each payment required to be made pursuant to this subsection (a)(i)(C) shall be made
to the Internal Revenue Service Center, Ogden, Utah 84201 on or before the date on which such

payment is due, and shall be accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form 8038-T, or shall be made
in such other manner as provided under the Code.

if it follows the written directions of the City, and shall have no liability or responsibility to enforce
compliance by the City with the terms of the Tax Certificate.
(ii) Alternative Penalty Account.
(A) Six -Month Computation. If the 1 %2% Penalty has been elected for the
Bonds, within 85 days of each particular Six -Month Period, the City shall determine or cause to be
determined whether the 1'/2% Penalty is payable (and the amount of such penalty) as of the close of
the applicable Six -Month Period. The City shall obtain expert advice in making such determinations.
(B) Six -Month Transfer. Within 85 days of the close of each Six -Month
Period, the Fiscal Agent, at the written direction of an Authorized Representative of the City, shall
deposit an amount in the Alternative Penalty Account from any source of funds held by the Fiscal
Agent pursuant to this Fiscal Agent Agreement and designated by the City in such written directions
or provided to it by the City, if and to the extent required, so that the balance in the Alternative Penalty
Account equals the amount of 1 %2% Penalty due and payable to the United States Treasury determined
as provided in subsection (a)(ii)(A) above. In the event that immediately following any transfer
provided for in the previous sentence, or the date on which the City determines that no transfer is
required for such Bond Year, the amount then on deposit in the Alternative Penalty Account exceeds
the amount required to be on deposit therein to make the payments required by subsection (a)(ii)(C)
below, the Fiscal Agent, at the written direction of an Authorized Representative of the City, may
withdraw the excess from the Alternative Penalty Account and credit the excess to the Assessment
Fund.
(C) Payment to the Treasury. The Fiscal Agent shall pay, as directed in
writing by an Authorized Representative of the City, to the United States Treasury, out of amounts in
the Alternative Penalty Account, not later than 90 days after the close of each Six -Month Period the
1'/2% Penalty, if applicable and payable, computed with respect to the Bonds in accordance with
Section 148(f)(4) of the Code. In the event that, prior to the time of any payment required to be made
from the Alternative Penalty Account, the amount in the Alternative Penalty Account is not sufficient
to make such payment when such payment is due, the City shall calculate the amount of such deficiency
and direct the Fiscal Agent, in writing, to deposit an amount equal to such deficiency into the
Alternative Penalty Account from any funds held by the Fiscal Agent pursuant to this Fiscal Agent
Agreement and designated by the City in such written directions prior to the time such payment is due.
Each payment required to be made pursuant to this subsection (a)(ii)(C) shall be made to the Internal
Revenue Service, Ogden, Utah 84201 on or before the date on which such payment is due, and shall
be accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form 8038-T or shall be made in such other manner as
provided under the Code.

Fund with respect to the Bonds after redemption and payment of such issue and after making the
payments described in subsection (a)(i)(C) or (a)(ii)(C) (whichever is applicable), shall be withdrawn
by the Fiscal Agent at the written direction of the City and utilized in any manner by the City.

18-36
(c) Survival of Defeasance and Final Pam. Notwithstanding anything in this Section
or this Fiscal Agent Agreement to the contrary, the obligation to comply with the requirements of this
Section shall survive the defeasance and final payment of the Bonds with respect to which an account
has been created in the Rebate Fund.
(d) Amendment Without Consent of Owners. This Section 506 may be deleted or
amended in any manner without the consent of the Owners, provided that prior to such event there is
delivered to the City an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such deletion or amendment will
not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the
Bonds.
Section 507. Improvement Fund. The moneys in the Improvement Fund shall be applied
to pay the costs of the Improvements and shall be disbursed by the Fiscal Agent as specified in a written
direction from an Authorized Representative of the City which must be submitted in connection with
each requested disbursement substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto.
Upon receipt of a certificate of an Authorized Representative of the City stating that all or a
specified portion of the amount remaining in the Improvement Fund is no longer needed to pay costs
of the Improvements, the Fiscal Agent shall transfer all or such specified portion, as applicable, of the
moneys remaining on deposit in the Improvement to the Prepayment Account of the Redemption Fund
to be used to redeem Bonds or for such other purposes as permitted by the 1913 Act and the 1915 Act,
all as directed in said certificate.
Section 508. Investments. Moneys held in any of the funds and accounts under this
Agreement shall be invested at the written direction of an Authorized Representative of the City only
in Authorized Investments which shall be deemed at all times to be a part of such funds and accounts.
The Fiscal Agent shall provide monthly statements or reports of the principal balances and investment
earnings thereon in each fund and account maintained by the Fiscal Agent hereunder.
Authorized Investments shall be purchased at such prices as directed by an Authorized
Representative of the City in written directions (or telephonic directions confirmed in writing)
delivered to the Fiscal Agent. The Fiscal Agent may conclusively reply upon the written instructions
of the Authorized Representative as to both the suitability and legality of directed investments.
Directions as to the purchase of all Authorized Investments shall be subject to the limitations
hereinafter in this Section set forth and such additional limitations or requirements consistent with the
foregoing as may be established by the Treasurer.
Moneys in all funds and accounts except for the Reserve Fund shall be invested in Authorized
Investments maturing, or with respect to which payments of principal and interest are scheduled or
otherwise payable, not later than the date on which the Treasurer has estimated that such moneys will
be required by the Fiscal Agent for the purposes specified in this Agreement. Moneys in the Reserve
Fund shall be invested in Authorized Investments.
All interest, profits and other income received from the investment of moneys in any fund or
account established pursuant to this Agreement shall be retained therein, except as transfers from such
funds or accounts are authorized in this Agreement. For investment purposes only, the Fiscal Agent

but shall account for each separately.
20
4836-0134-3928x3/022459-0023
18-37
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, an amount of interest
received with respect to any Authorized Investment equal to the amount of accrued interest, if any,
paid as part of the purchase price of such Authorized Investment shall be credited to the fund or account
for the credit of which such Authorized Investment was acquired.
For the purpose of determining the amount in any fund or account other than the Reserve Fund,
all Authorized Investments credited to such fund or account shall be valued at the lower of the cost or
the market value thereof, exclusive of accrued interest. Amounts in the Reserve Fund shall be valued
at their market value at least semi-annually on or before February 15 and August 15 (or more frequently
as may be requested by the Treasurer, but in no event more often than monthly). In making any such
valuation, the Fiscal Agent may utilize nationally recognized securities valuation or pricing services
available to it through its accounting system. The Fiscal Agent may rely on such valuations and shall
not be responsible for the accuracy thereof.
The Fiscal Agent, or any of its affiliates, may act as principal or agent in the making or
disposing of any investment or as a sponsor, depository, manager for or advisor to any issuer of
Authorized Investments. The Fiscal Agent shall sell, or present for redemption, any Authorized
Investment so purchased whenever it shall be necessary to provide moneys to meet any required
payment, transfer, withdrawal or disbursement from the fund or account to which such Authorized
Investment is credited, and, subject to the provisions of Section 904, the Fiscal Agent shall not be liable
or responsible for any loss resulting from such investment, or any other investment made at the
direction of the City or otherwise made in accordance with this Agreement.
In the absence of written investment direction from the Treasurer received at least two Business
Days prior to the maturity of an Authorized Investment, the Fiscal Agent shall invest solely in
Authorized Investments set forth in subsection (3) of the definition thereof.
The Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon the written instructions of the City
directing investments in Authorized Investments as to the fact that each such investment is permitted
by the laws of the State of California and is an Authorized Investment as required by this Agreement
and shall not be required to make further investigation with respect thereto. With respect to any
restrictions set forth in the list of Authorized Investments which embody legal conclusions (e.g., the
existence, validity and perfection of security interests in collateral), the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled
to rely conclusively on an opinion of counsel or upon a representation of the provider of such
Authorized Investment obtained at the City's expense.
Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Fiscal Agent shall not be liable to pay
interest on any moneys received by it, but shall be liable only to account to the City for earnings derived
from funds that have been invested.
The City acknowledges that regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency grant the City the
right to receive brokerage confirmation of security transactions to be effected by the Fiscal Agent
hereunder as they occur. The City specifically waives the right to receive such confirmation to the
extent permitted by applicable law and agrees that it will instead receive periodic cash transaction
statements which include detail for the investment transactions effected by the Fiscal Agent hereunder;
provided, however, that the City retains its right to receive brokerage confirmation on any investment
transaction requested by the City.

Payment of interest on and principal of this bond due on or before the maturity or prior
redemption hereof shall be made directly by wire transfer to the then Owner of this bond pursuant to
instructions to be provided from time to time by the then Owner to the Fiscal Agent.
This bond will continue to bear interest after maturity at the rate above stated provided it is
presented at maturity and payment hereof is refused upon the sole ground that there are not sufficient
moneys in said redemption fund with which to pay the same. If it is not presented at maturity, interest
hereon will run only until maturity.
This bond (the "Bonds") is issued by the City under the Act and the Fiscal Agent Agreement
for the purpose of providing means for paying for the improvements described in the proceedings; and
it is secured by the moneys in the redemption fund and by the unpaid portion of certain assessments
made for the payment of those improvements, and, including principal and interest, is payable
exclusively out of said fund.
Whenever, as of an Interest Payment Date, there are sufficient funds in the Prepayment
Account of the Redemption Fund from the proceeds of prepayments of Assessments, this bond shall
be called for redemption as provided in Part 11.1 of the Act. This bond, or any portion hereof, in the
principal amount of $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof, may be redeemed and paid in advance of
maturity on any Interest Payment Date, by giving notice to the owner hereof and by paying the principal
amount hereof, plus interest to the date of redemption, without premium, unless sooner surrendered, in
which event said interest will be paid to the date of payment.
The Bonds are subject to redemption prior to their stated maturity dates on any Interest
Payment Date on and after September 2, 2027 from such maturities as selected by the City, from any
source of funds other than prepayment of Assessments, including, but not limited to, surplus monies
on deposit in the Improvement Fund, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount being
redeemed, plus accrued interest to the redemption date, without premium.
The Bonds shall be called before maturity and redeemed, from mandatory sinking fund
payments that have been deposited into the Redemption Fund, on September 2, 2021, and on each
September 2 thereafter prior to maturity and at maturity, in accordance with the schedule of payments
set forth below. The Bonds so called for redemption shall be selected by the Fiscal Agent by lot and
shall be redeemed at a redemption price for each redeemed bond equal to the principal amount thereof,
plus accrued interest to the redemption date, without premium, as follows:

In the event of a partial optional redemption or mandatory redemption of the Bonds,
each of the remaining mandatory sinking fund payments for such Bonds, as described above, will be
reduced, as nearly as practicable, on a pro rata basis as directed by the City.
This bond is transferable by the registered owner hereof, in person or by the owner's attorney
duly authorized in writing, at the office of the Fiscal Agent, subject to the terms and conditions
provided in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, including the payment of certain charges, if any, upon
surrender and cancellation of this bond. Upon such transfer a new registered bond or bonds of any
authorized denomination or denominations, of the same maturity, for the same aggregate principal
amount, will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Owner
of this bonds may only transfer this bond to a new Owner if this bond is transferred in whole and the
new Owner has delivered an Investor Letter (in the form attached to the Fiscal Agent Agreement) to
the City and the Fiscal Agent.
Neither the City nor the Fiscal Agent shall be required to make such exchanges or to register
such transfers of bonds (a) during the 15 days prior to any Interest Payment Date or the date established
by the Fiscal Agent for selection of Bonds for redemption, or (b) with respect to a bond after such bond
has been selected for redemption.
The City and the Fiscal Agent may treat the owner hereof, as shown on the bond register kept
by the Fiscal Agent, as the absolute owner for all purposes; and the City and the Fiscal Agent shall not
be affected by any notice to the contrary.

COVENANTS AND WARRANTY
Section 701. Warranty. The City shall preserve and protect the security of the Bonds and
the rights of the Owners against all claims and demands of all persons.
Section 702. Covenants. So long as any of the Bonds are Outstanding and unpaid, the City
makes the following covenants with the Owners under the provisions of the 1913 Act, the 1915 Act
and this Agreement (to be performed by the City or its proper officers, agents or employees), which
covenants are necessary, convenient and desirable to secure the Bonds and tend to make them more
marketable; provided, however, that said covenants do not require the City to expend any funds or
moneys other than the Assessments:
(a) Punctual Payment; Covenant Against Encumbrances. The City covenants that it will
receive all Assessment Installments in trust and will, consistent with Section 503 hereof, deposit the
Assessment Installments in the Assessment Fund, and the City shall have no beneficial right or interest
in the amounts so deposited except as provided by this Agreement. All such Assessment Installments,
whether received by the City in trust or deposited with the Fiscal Agent, all as herein provided, shall
nevertheless be disbursed, allocated and applied solely to the uses and purposes herein set forth, and
shall be accounted for separately and apart from all other money, funds, accounts or other resources of
the City.
The City covenants that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of and
interest on every Bond issued hereunder, together with the premium, if any, thereon on the date, at the
place and in the manner set forth in the Bonds and in accordance with this Agreement to the extent
Assessments and interest earnings transferred to the Redemption Fund are available therefor, and that
the payments into the Redemption Fund and the Reserve Fund will be made, all in strict conformity
with the terms of the Bonds and this Agreement, and that it will faithfully observe and perform all of
the conditions, covenants and requirements of this Agreement and all Supplements and of the Bonds
issued hereunder. If at any time the total balance in the Redemption Fund and the Reserve Fund is
sufficient to redeem all Outstanding Bonds pursuant to Section 401 hereof, the Treasurer may direct
the Fiscal Agent to effect such redemption on the earliest date on which all Outstanding Bonds may be
redeemed.
29
4836-0134-3928x3/022459-0023
18-46
The City will not mortgage or otherwise encumber, pledge or place any charge upon any of the
Assessment Installments, and will not issue any obligation or security superior to the Bonds, payable
in whole or in part from the unpaid Assessments.
(b) Covenant to Levy. The City will cause the Assessment Installments required to pay
the principal of and interest on the Bonds when due to be placed on the tax bills of the owners of the
parcels assessed and covenants to levy assessments, as permitted by law and the Resolution of
Formation, to satisfy the Administrative Expense Requirement.
(c) Commence Foreclosure Proceedings. The City will review the public records of the
County of Orange, California, in connection with the collection of the Assessment Installments not
later than August 1 of each year to determine the amount of Assessment Installments collected in the
prior Fiscal Year. If the City determines that any parcel or parcels are delinquent in the payment of
Assessment Installments, then the City will cause judicial foreclosure proceedings to be filed in the
Superior Court not later than December 1 of each year, and will prosecute diligently such foreclosure
proceedings to judgment and judicial foreclosure sale; provided, however, the commencement of any
foreclosure action may be deferred in the sole discretion of the City if, and only so long as, the amount
in the Reserve Fund is not less than seventy percent (70%) of the Reserve Requirement.
(d) Books and Accounts. The City will cause the Fiscal Agent to keep proper books of
record and accounts, separate from all other records and accounts of the City, in which complete and
correct entries shall be made of all transactions made by its Fiscal Agent hereunder. Such books of
record and accounts shall at all times during business hours and upon reasonable prior notice be subject
to the inspection of the City or of the Owners of not less than ten percent (10%) of the principal amount
of the Bonds then Outstanding or their representatives authorized in writing.
(e) Tax Covenants. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, absent an
opinion of Bond Counsel that the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds will not be
adversely affected for federal income tax purposes by reason of the City's failure to do so, the City
covenants to comply with all applicable requirements of the Code, necessary to preserve such exclusion
from gross income and specifically covenants, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as
follows:
Private Activity. The City will not take or omit to take any action or make any use of the
proceeds of the Bonds or of any other moneys or property which would cause the Bonds to be "private
activity bonds" within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code.
Arbitrage. The City will make no use of the proceeds of the Bonds or of any other amounts or
property, regardless of the source, or take or omit to take any action which would cause the Bonds to
be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code.
Federal Guarantee. The City will make no use of the proceeds of the Bonds or take or omit
to take any action that would cause the Bonds to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of
Section 149(b) of the Code.
Information Reporting. The City will take or cause to be taken all necessary action to comply
with the informational reporting requirement of Section 149(e) of the Code.
30
4836-0134-3928x3/022459-0023
18-47
Rebate Requirements. The City will take no action inconsistent with its expectations stated in
the Tax Certificate and will comply with the covenants and requirements stated therein and
incorporated by reference herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the City agrees that
there shall be paid from time to time all amounts required to be rebated to the United States pursuant
to Section 148(f) of the Code and any temporary, proposed or final Treasury Regulations as may be
applicable to the Bonds from time to time. In particular, the City shall direct the Fiscal Agent to
transfer to the Rebate Fund amounts sufficient to pay and shall instruct the Fiscal Agent to pay to the
United States Treasury any amounts required to be paid as set forth in Section 506 hereof.
(f) Collection of the Administrative Expense Requirements. The City covenants that it
will collect annually an amount specified by the Treasurer to be the Administrative Expense
Requirement to pay for Administrative Expenses. The Administrative Expense Requirement so
collected shall not exceed the amount specified in the Engineer's Report.
(g) Reporting Information. The City covenants that it will provide to the Owner, for so
long as the Bonds are outstanding, by April 1 following the end of each Fiscal Year, commencing with
the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2020, an annual report (the "Annual Report") stating: (i) the principal
amount of Bonds outstanding as of the September 1 preceding the filing of the Annual Report, (ii) the
balance in each fund under the Agreement as of the September 1 preceding the filing of the Annual
Report, (iii) information regarding the annual aggregate special assessment installments, amount
collected, delinquent amount and percent delinquent for the most recent Fiscal Year and the amount
and percent remaining delinquent for any prior fiscal year, (v) status of foreclosure proceedings and
summary of results of foreclosure sales as of the preceding September 1, if available, (v) the most
recent assessed values of the property in the Assessment District and the principal amount of the Bonds,
(vi) a statement regarding the number of parcels that prepaid Assessments, and the amounts so prepaid,
since the filing of the last Annual Report, and (vii) a copy of the City's audited financial statements for
the Fiscal Year then ended (provided, however, that if the City's audited financial statements are not
available by the time the Annual Report is required to be provided, the Annual Report shall instead
contain unaudited financial statements, and the audited financial statements shall be provided as soon
as practicable after they become available).
ARTICLE VIII
AMENDMENTS TO AGREEMENT
Section 801. Amendments Not Requiring Bondowner Consent. The City may from time
to time, and at any time, without notice to or consent of any of the Bondowners, adopt Supplements
hereto for any of the following purposes:
(a) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provisions herein provided that
such action shall not materially adversely affect the interests of the Bondowners;
(b) to add to the covenants and agreements of, and the limitations and the restrictions upon,
the City contained in this Agreement, other covenants, agreements, limitations and restrictions to be
observed by the City which are not contrary to or inconsistent with this Agreement as theretofore in
effect;
(c) to modify, amend or supplement this Agreement in such manner as to permit the
qualification hereof under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, or any similar federal statute
31
4836-0134-3928x3/022459-0023
18-48
hereafter in effect, and to add such other terms, conditions and provisions as may be permitted by said
act or similar federal statute, and which shall not, materially adversely affect the interests of the Owners
of the Bonds; or
(d) to modify, alter, amend or supplement this Agreement in any other respect which is not
materially adverse to the Bondowners.
Section 802. Amendments Requiring Bondowner Consent. Exclusive of the
Supplements described in Section 801, the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Bonds then Outstanding shall have the right to consent to and approve such Supplements
as shall be deemed necessary or desirable by the City for the purpose of waiving, modifying, altering,
amending, adding to or rescinding, in any particular, any of the terms or provisions contained in this
Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall permit, or be construed as permitting, (a) an
extension of the maturity date of the principal, or the payment date of interest on, any Bond, (b) a
reduction in the principal amount of, or redemption premium on, any Bond or the rate of interest
thereon, (c) a preference or priority of any Bond or Bonds over any other Bond or Bonds, or (d) a
reduction in the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds the Owners of which are required to consent
to such Supplement without the consent of the Owners of all the Bonds then Outstanding.
If at any time the City shall desire to enter into a Supplement, which pursuant to the terms of
this Section shall require the consent of the Bondowners, the City shall so notify the Fiscal Agent and
shall deliver to the Fiscal Agent a copy of the proposed Supplement. The Fiscal Agent shall, at the
expense of the City, cause notice of the proposed Supplement to be mailed, by first class mail postage
prepaid, to all Bondowners and their addresses as they appear in the Bond Register. Such notice shall
briefly set forth the nature of the proposed Supplement and shall state that a copy thereof is on file at
the office of the Superintendent of Streets and the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent for
inspection by all Bondowners. The failure of any Bondowners to receive such notice shall not affect
the validity of such Supplement when consented to and approved by the Owners of not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding as required by this Section.
Whenever at any time within one year after the date of the first mailing of such notice the Fiscal Agent
shall receive an instrument or instruments purporting to be executed by the Owners of not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, which instrument or
instruments shall refer to the proposed Supplement described in such notice, and shall specifically
consent to and approve the Supplement substantially in the form of the copy referred to in such notice
as on file with the Superintendent of Streets and the Fiscal Agent, such proposed Supplement, when
duly executed by the City, shall thereafter become a part of the proceedings for the issuance of the
Bonds. In determining whether the Owners of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the
Bonds have consented to the adoption of any Supplement, Bonds which are owned by the City or by
any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under the direct or indirect common
control with the City, shall be disregarded and shall be treated as though they were not Outstanding for
the purpose of any such determination. Upon request, the City shall designate to the Fiscal Agent those
Bonds disqualified by this Section 802.
Upon the execution and delivery by the City and the Fiscal Agent of any Supplement and the
receipt of consent to any such Supplement from the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate
principal amount of Bonds Outstanding in instances where such consent is required pursuant to the
provisions of this Section, this Agreement shall be, and shall be deemed to be, modified and amended
in accordance therewith, and the respective rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement of the
32
4836-0134-3928x3/022459-0023
18-49
City, the Fiscal Agent and all Owners of Bonds then Outstanding shall thereafter be determined,
exercised and enforced hereunder, subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments.
No Supplement pursuant to either Section 801 or Section 802 shall modify or amend any of
the rights or obligations of the Fiscal Agent without its written consent thereto. The Fiscal Agent shall
be provided an opinion of counsel, at the expense of the City, that any such Supplement complies with
the provisions of this Article VIII and the Fiscal Agent may conclusively rely upon such opinion.
Section 803. Notation of Bonds; Delivery of Amended Bonds. After the effective date of
any action taken as hereinabove provided, the City may determine that the Bonds may bear a notation,
by endorsement in form approved by the City, as to such action, and in that case upon demand of the
Owner of any Bond Outstanding at such effective date and presentation of his Bond for the purpose at
the office of the Fiscal Agent, a suitable notation as to such action shall be made on such Bonds. If the
City shall so determine, new Bonds so modified as, in the opinion of the City, shall be necessary to
conform to such action shall be prepared and executed, and in that case upon demand of the Owner of
any Bond Outstanding at such effective date such new Bonds shall be exchanged at the office of the
Fiscal Agent without cost to each Owner, for Bonds then Outstanding, upon surrender of such
Outstanding Bonds.
ARTICLE IX

combined capital and surplus shall be as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.
The City shall notify the Bondowners in writing of any such removal of the Fiscal Agent and
appointment of a successor thereto.
Section 903. Resignation of Fiscal Agent. The Fiscal Agent may at any time resign by
giving written notice to the City. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the City shall promptly
appoint a successor Fiscal Agent by an instrument in writing; provided, however, that in the event that
the City does not appoint a successor Fiscal Agent within thirty (30) days following receipt of such
notice of resignation, the resigning Fiscal Agent may petition, at the expense of the City, an appropriate
court having jurisdiction to appoint a successor Fiscal Agent. Any resignation or removal of the Fiscal
Agent and appointment of a successor Fiscal Agent shall become effective only upon the written
acceptance of appointment by the successor Fiscal Agent, and notice to the Bondowners of the Fiscal
Agent's identity and address.
Section 904. Liability of Fiscal Agent. The recitals of fact and all promises, covenants and
agreements contained herein and in the Bonds shall be taken as statements, promises, covenants and
agreements of the City, and the Fiscal Agent assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same

investment of any moneys in any fund or account established, held or maintained by the City pursuant
to this Agreement or otherwise.

established, if disputed.
Whenever in the administration of its duties under this Agreement the Fiscal Agent shall deem
it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action
hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may,
in the absence of willful misconduct on the part of the Fiscal Agent, be deemed to be conclusively
proved and established by a written certificate of the City, and such certificate shall be full warrant to
the Fiscal Agent for any action taken or suffered under the provisions of this Agreement upon the faith
thereof, but in its discretion the Fiscal Agent may, in lieu thereof, accept other evidence of such matter
or may require such additional evidence as to it may deem reasonable.
The Fiscal Agent shall have no duty or obligations whatsoever to enforce the collection of
Assessments or other funds to be deposited with it hereunder, or as to the correctness of any amounts
received, but its liability shall be limited to the proper accounting for such funds as it shall actually
receive. The Fiscal Agent shall have no duty or obligation to monitor the City's compliance with the
1913 Act or the 1915 Act. No provision in this Agreement shall require the Fiscal Agent to expend or
risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder, or in the exercise of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing

assured to it. The Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to interest on all amounts advanced by it at the

same shall become due and payable; or
(c) Default by the City in the observance of any of the other agreements, conditions or

for a period of thirty (30) days after the City shall have been given notice in writing of such default by
the Fiscal Agent or any Owner, provided that if within thirty (30) days the City has commenced curing
of the default and diligently pursues elimination thereof, such period shall be extended to permit such
default to be eliminated.
Section 1002. Remedies of Owners. Following the occurrence of an event of default, any
Owner shall have the right for the equal benefit and protection of all Owners similarly situated:
(a) By mandamus or other suit or proceeding at law or in equity to enforce his or her rights
against the City and any of the members, officers and employees of the City, and to compel the City

and as often as shall be deemed expedient by the Owners.

determined adversely to the Owners, the City and the Owners shall be restored to their former positions,
rights and remedies as if such suit, action or proceeding had not been brought or taken. No remedy
herein conferred upon or reserved to the Owners is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy. Every

now or hereafter existing, at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and may be exercised without
exhausting and without regard to any other remedy conferred by the 1913 Act, the 1915 Act or any

such instrument is executed by an officer of a corporation or association or a member of a partnership
on behalf of such corporation, association or partnership, such signature guarantee shall also constitute
sufficient proof of his authority.

valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond and the interest thereon to the

Fiscal Agent shall thereupon be released and discharged with respect thereto and the Owners shall look
only to the City for the payment of such Bonds; provided, however, that, before being required to make
any such payment to the City, the Fiscal Agent shall, at the written request and the expense of the City,
cause to be mailed to the registered Owners of such Bonds, at their addresses as they appear on the
Bond Register, a notice that said money remains unclaimed and that, after a date named in said notice,
which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days after the date of the mailing of such notice, the balance
of such money then unclaimed will be returned to the City.

(including the allocated costs and disbursements of in-house counsel, to the extent such services are
not redundant with those provided by outside counsel), and should said suit, action or proceeding be
abandoned, or be determined adversely to the Fiscal Agent, then the City, the Fiscal Agent and the
Bondowners shall be restored to their former positions, rights and remedies as if such suit, action or
proceeding had not been brought or taken.
After the issuance and delivery of the Bonds this Agreement shall be irrepealable, but shall be
subject to modifications to the extent and in the manner provided in this Agreement, but to no greater

contained in this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, is held to be
unconstitutional, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of any
such covenant, agreement or provision, or portion thereof, to other persons or circumstances, shall be
deemed severable and shall not be affected thereby, and this Agreement and the Bonds shall remain
valid and the Bondowners shall retain all valid rights and benefits accorded to them under the laws of

From: Michael Busch, Chief Executive Officer
Urban Futures, Inc.
Date: June 5, 2020
Re: City of Newport Beach
Assessment District No. 111
Limited Obligation Improvement Bonds 2020 Series A
Recommended Structure
In connection with the City of Newport Beach $2,412,000 Assessment District No. 111, Limited Obligation
Improvement Bonds, 2020 Series A (the "Bonds"), Urban Futures, Inc. ("UFI"), as Municipal Advisor, has
evaluated various financing options available to the City, including method of sale. We recommend the
City authorize a private placement of its Bonds with City National Bank (the "Bank" or "City National") at
a rate of 2.35%. Despite the extreme volatility that the municipal market has experienced in the last few
months since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the rate offered by City National is more competitive
than a public sale and the best alternative for mitigating interest rate risk. The following discussion details
the approach and analyses undertaken to reach our recommendation.
Private Placement versus Public Offering
On behalf of the City, UFI solicited proposals from Underwriting/Placement Agent firms for the
Underground Utility Assessment District No. 111 financing, which were due on February 27, 2020. We
asked firms to consider the use of a private placement versus a negotiated public offering as well as
provide indicative rates for each method of sale. As of the date of the proposals, two firms indicated a
private placement would be more favorable to the City, while two other firms recommended a public sale.
Based on their strong proposal, experienced team, and competitive fees, UFI recommended engaging
Hilltop Securities as Underwriter/Placement Agent.
Upon their hire at the beginning of March, Hilltop Securities solicited private placement bids from nine
placement banks and received three bids ranging from 2.20% to 2.53%. BBVA offered the lowest bid at
2.20% and a rate lock of 45 days. Alternatively, City National offered the second lowest rate of 2.35% with
a generous rate lock of 90 days. Opus offered a rate of 2.53% with a 60 -day rate lock. We compared all
of the private placement bids against a public offering scenario, using public offering rates provided by
Hilltop Securities as of March 5, 2020. All of the private placement bids yielded better results than the
public offering option. Additionally, a private placement is estimated to save approximately $50,000 in
costs of issuance and requires less staff time compared to a public sale, which involves the preparation of
an offering document and continuing disclosure agreement.

Unprecedented Municipal Market Environment
At the time the initial bids were received in the beginning of March 2020, municipal interest rates reached
all-time historical lows as California bonds remained in high demand. Shortly thereafter, the financial
markets entered into unprecedented volatility due to the spread of COVID-19 and the imposition of stay-
at-home orders across the U.S and around the world. On March 19th, MMD (the benchmark index for tax-
exempt municipal securities) increased by 50 basis points across all maturities, which represented one of
the largest single -day moves in municipal market history. For several weeks in March, the sale of
municipal securities in the public market was severely disrupted and dislocated and hundreds of issuers
were forced to delay transactions or execute them at much higher spreads.

Locking in the Optimal Option for the City
The chaotic and extremely volatile financial markets put the City's financing in jeopardy, particularly with
a public offering option. The financing team immediately reached back out to the three banks with the
following responses: 1) City National confirmed their 2.35% rate with a 90 -day lock; 2) BBVA indicated
that they would re -lock the rate with a 45 -day rate lock; 3) Opus indicated that they had been acquired
and would be exiting the public finance sector. Given a municipal market environment in which rates
were moving up to 50 basis points in one day, the financing team concluded that City National's offer to
guarantee a very attractive 2.35% rate for 90 days (the only option that would guarantee the rate through
closing of the Bonds) was the most optimal option for the City. After executing a term sheet (subject to

Locking in the Optimal Option for the City

closing of the Bonds) was the most optimal option for the City. After executing a term sheet (subject to
2
18-70
City Council approval) with City National, the Bank agreed to extend its rate lock another week in order to
accommodate the City's desired closing date of June 26, 2020.
Financing Terms and Results
After selecting City National, the financing team finalized terms with the Bank that maximize flexibility for
the City. Ultimately, the Bank agreed to the following terms:
• $2,412,000 Par Amount (final par after
cash collections)
• Final Maturity of 9/2/2040
• Semi -Annual Interest Payments on 3/2
& 9/2
• Principal Payments on 9/2
• 2.35% Interest Rate Locked through June
26, 2020
• 7 -Year Call Option at Par on any Interest
Payment Date
• DSRF Sized at 5% of Par
• Bank Fees of $7,500
The final terms generate $2.2 million for the Improvement Fund, a TIC of 2.35%, total net debt service of
approximately $2.93 million, and average annual debt service of approximately $152,000.
Conclusion
While the markets have recently improved and stabilized, with the benchmark 20 -year rate currently at
1.49%, down from its March 23rd peak of 3.18%, significant uncertainty remains in the municipal market,
particularly for small non -rated transactions that are not general obligation or water/wastewater credits.
During the month of April, only one California land -secured bond transaction priced in the public market;
and since May 1St, only 9 such transactions have priced at generally wider credit spreads. Liquidity remains
an important consideration as volatile markets tend to favor large, liquid issues, resulting in a pricing
penalty for smaller issues. The comparables listed in the Appendix demonstrate that with the currently
negotiated rate and terms with City National, the Assessment District No. 111 Bonds price better than the
comparables, including the City's own Assessment District No. 116 and 116B Bonds issued last year.
Additionally, the City was able to achieve a more favorable call option than all of the comparables, most
of which require a premium for a 7 -year call. Ultimately, subject to City Council approval, the City was
able to lock in a very attractive interest rate of 2.35% with favorable terms, thereby avoid taking on
interest rate risk in a volatile market, while minimizing costs of issuance and staff time.

faith estimates have been provided to the City by Urban Futures, Inc., the City's
Municipal Advisor (the "Municipal Advisor") in consultation with City National Bank
(the "Original Purchaser").

the City's financing plan and current market conditions for Assessment District 111
(The "District), its good faith estimate of the aggregate principal amount including
net premium of the 2020 Bonds to be sold is $2,412,000 (the "Estimated Principal
Amount").
True Interest Cost of the Bonds. The Municipal Advisor has informed the City
that, assuming that the respective Estimated Principal Amount of the Bonds is sold,
and based on market interest rates prevailing at the time of preparation of such
estimate, its good faith estimate of the true interest cost of the 2020 Bonds, which
means the rate necessary to discount the amounts payable on the respective
principal and interest payment dates to the purchase price received for the 2020
Bonds, is 2.35%.
Finance Charge of the Bonds. The Municipal Advisor has informed the City that,
assuming that the Estimated Principal Amounts of the Bonds is sold, and based
on market interest rates prevailing at the time of preparation of such estimate, its
good faith estimate of the finance charge for the 2020 Bonds, which means the
sum of all fees and charges paid to third parties (or costs associated with the 2020
Bonds), is $90,100. Additionally, there will be an annual Trustee and District
administration fees for as long as the 2020 Bonds are outstanding.
Amount of Proceeds to be Received. The Municipal Advisor has informed the
City that, assuming the Estimated Principal Amount of the Bonds is sold, and

estimate, its good faith estimate of the amount of proceeds expected to be received
by the City for sale of the 2020 Bonds, less the finance charge of the 2020 Bonds,
as estimated above, and any reserves or capitalized interest paid or funded with
proceeds of the 2020 Bonds, is $ 2,190,908.
Total Payment Amount. The Municipal Advisor has informed the City that,
assuming that the Estimated Principal Amounts of the 2020 Bonds is sold, and
based on market interest rates prevailing at the time of preparation of such
estimate, its good faith estimate of the total payment amount, which means the
sum total of all payments the City will make to pay debt service on the 2020 Bonds,
18-75
plus the finance charge for the 2020 Bonds, as described above, not paid with the
respective proceeds of the 2020 Bonds, calculated to the final maturity of the 2020
Bonds, is $3,061,568. Additionally, there will be an annual Trustee fees and District
administration fees for as long as the 2020 Bonds are outstanding.
The foregoing estimates constitute good faith estimates only and are based on
market conditions prevailing at the time of preparation of such estimates. The
actual principal amount of the 2020 Bonds issued and sold, the true interest cost
thereof, the finance charges thereof, the amount of proceeds received therefrom
and total payment amount with respect thereto may differ from such good faith
estimates due to (a) the actual date of the sale of the 2020 Bonds being different
than the date assumed for purposes of such estimates, (b) the actual principal
amount of 2020 Bonds sold being different from the respective Estimated Principal
Amounts, (c) the actual amortization of the 2020 Bonds being different than the
amortization assumed for purposes of such estimates, (d) the actual market
interest rates at the time of sale of the 2020 Bonds being different than those
estimated for purposes of such estimates, (e) other market conditions, or (f)
alterations in the City's financing plan, or a combination of such factors. The actual
date of sale of the 2020 Bonds and the actual principal amount of 2020 Bonds sold
will be determined by the City based on various factors. The actual interest rates
borne by the 2020 Bonds will depend on market interest rates at the time of sale
thereof. The actual amortization of the 2020 Bonds will also depend, in part, on
market interest rates at the time of sale thereof. Market interest rates are affected
by economic and other factors beyond the control of the City.
