I joined the Marine officer program over 40 years ago. I served as an infantry officer and a Judge Advocate. In my long career,my duties spanned defending and prosecuting war crimes, advising Marine Commanders, and a combat tour in Ramadi, Baghdad, and Fallujah,eventually retiring in 2006 after 32 years active and reserve. When it comes to our national defense, I have the know-how to ask the right questions and focus on the key issues:fixing our VA, eliminating waste,and protecting our service members by putting them in harms way only when absolutely necessary. I have lived in the 49th District since I was stationed at Camp Pendleton in 1981.All three of my children grew up here and attended our public schools. I own a business here and know what matters to this community. I will fight to bring back American jobs that provide living wages and equal pay for equal work,and demand comprehensive immigration reform that makes American employers part of the solution. America needs new,positive leadership committed to integrity,accountability, and transparency in Congress, ending big money's influence on government. For me,true patriotism is about serving our country however we can.Our duty is to keep America strong and keep it working for all Americans. I ask for and would be honored to have your vote. UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 49th District DARRELLISSA US Representative/Entrepreneur Working to create jobs and grow the American economy is my passion. As the founder of a consumer technology company that employs hundreds of people today, an entrepreneur, innovator, and former Army officer, I've put those skills to work for you in Congress to foster job creation, to protect the incredible creative space that exists on the Internet, and to promote and realize opportunities that are available in the new economy. As your representative, I stopped the most harmful Internet regulatory scheme ever considered in Congress, SOPA. I worked collaboratively to protect your private information online and to foster job-creating startups. I stood up to Wall Street, opposing the bailout of the big banks, and called to account Presidents from both parties when they abused their offices.

CS-0149-1 N SD 312-020 STATE ASSEMBLY 76th District ROCKY CHAVEZ Marine Colonel/Assemblymember I am running for re-election because I care about continuing to improve our schools, protecting the average taxpayer,and keeping promises to our veterans. Our children deserve a quality education that provides them with the tools and skill sets that they will need for success in the 2111 century. Every child deserves a safe school with world class teachers. I will continue my fight to make certain that more dollars are spent in the classroom and not on overhead. Before I was elected, I promised to protect Proposition 13 and never vote for a tax increase. I am proud to say that I have kept that promise. The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association gave me an "A" grade when it comes to protecting taxpayers. I have also taken the lead in opposing"job killer' legislation that drives jobs out of California. We need to create a positive business environment that is capable of creating long term job growth. As a retired Marine Colonel I understand how our region has benefited by the presence of our military and its veterans. During my time in the State Assembly I have introduced legislation that streamlined the benefit application process for veterans and another that made going to college more affordable. I am proud that the American Legion named me their"Legislator of the Year'. If you honor me again with your vote I will continue to work to improve our schools, honor our veterans,and protect taxpayers. www.RockyChavez.com STATE ASSEMBLY 76th District THOMAS KROUSE AGE: 48 Chief Operating Officer/Businessman/Election Reform Advocate Voters First, Not Special Interests!

SAN DIEGUITO UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT Governing Board Member LUCILE HOOTON LYNCH Businesswoman/Attorney/Parent A change in leadership is needed to end the destructive divisiveness plaguing our board.

A board member with collaborative legal and business skills can help resolve disagreements regarding contracts as well as other issues facing this district such as historically underperforming student populations and lack of board transparency.

LACEY MARY ENYEART The Nature Conservancy San Diego 911 Emergency Dispatcher ALLAN ARROLLADO President, San Diego Fire Fighters PR-CW01-A-3 N SD 312-035 REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE No Real Accountability Over the Bureaucrats Despite a voter-friendly name,the deceptively-titled'Independent Oversight Committee'is nothing more than an insiders' club. The media has exposed the committee's chairman as a registered lobbyist for the construction industry which is making millions on these projects. He lobbies the very government officials he is supposed to oversee! Worse yet, in 2010 SANDAG reduced the conflict of interest rules governing this so-called committee. A Tax that Hurts Working Families Many working families are struggling in this high-tax state. This 18 Billon tax will be paid by our children and grandchildren and last for 40 years!Twelve years ago voters passed a 40-year sales tax increase for SANDAG's transportation improvements but commutes have not gotten any better.With billions and billions of dollars in proposed tax increases on this year's ballot already, send a message and vote NO on Measure A! A Transportation Tax that Doesn't Pay for Transportation Read the fine print. Bureaucrats expanded the definition of"Local Infrastructure Projects' ($4.3 Billion) to include: incentives for infill developers, bike paths, sidewalks, streetlights, beach sand replenishment, greenhouse gas reduction, monitoring open space and other non-transportation pet projects. There is$2.54 Billion for bike lanes and open space but only$0.6 Billion for normal highway lane expansions. No Traffic Congestion Relief Measure A documents literally state"travel times to work remain flat for drivers alone and improve for transit uses."So while over%of commuters travel alone, only 3.4%of this tax is going to help them. Additionally, over $7.5 Billion is earmarked for mass transit despite the fact only 2.7% of commuters use it—and the percentage of transit riders has decreased since 2005.

MEASURE B ORDINANCE AMENDING THE COUNTY GENERAL PLAN, COUNTY ZONING MAP AND COUNTY CODE, AND ADOPTING THE LILAC HILLS RANCH SPECIFIC PLAN Shall this Initiative be adopted for the purpose of amending the County General Plan, Zoning Ordinance and Code of Regulatory Ordinances and approving the Lilac Hills Ranch Specific Plan ("Plan")? The Plan provides for the development of a 608-acre master-planned community including 1,746 dwelling units, three commercial centers, a public park, 10 private parks and 16 miles of trails. The project site is generally located north of Escondido and east of 1-15 in the unincorporated area of North San Diego County. This measure requires approval by a simple majority(over 50%)of the voters voting on the measure. COUNTY COUNSEL IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS This measure would amend the County General Plan,Zoning Ordinance and Code of Regulatory Ordinances and adopt the Lilac Hills Ranch Specific Plan for the development of a 608-acre master-planned community ("the project") located east of 1-15, south and west of West Lilac Road, north of Mountain Ridge Road and west of Covey Lane in the unincorporated area of North San Diego County. Much of the project site is currently used for agricultural operations, and the surrounding area has low-density residential and agricultural uses. Under the current General Plan designation, up to 110 homes could be developed on the project site; no commercial uses are allowed. The measure is exempt from the normal environmental review process. The measure allows development of a new community including 1,746 dwelling units(903 single- family detached units, 164 single-family attached units, 211 mixed-use units, 468 single-family detached senior citizen units), and three commercial mixed-use centers totaling 90,000 square feet of space. This measure would require amendments to the County General Plan including: (a) changing the project site's land use designation from semi-rural to village; (b) exempting the project from the leapfrog development restrictions; (c) exempting the project from policies to protect agriculture and to maintain the existing rural life style; (d) exempting the project from the usual methodology for determining the maximum amount of time allowed for the fire agency to get to the project site and applying a separate methodology for the project. The measure requires the project to include 25.6 acres of parks, including a 13.5-acre public park, 10 private parks, and 16 miles of trails. Approximately 104.1 acres would be preserved on site as biological open space,23.8 acres of which would be in active agriculture. This measure states its intent to provide a sustainable community that will introduce a variety of housing types across a range of affordability levels and create employment, retail and service opportunities in San Diego County. PR-CW01-B-1 N SD 312-039 COUNTY COUNSEL IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) The measure further states its intent to require all necessary public facilities and services to meet the needs of the community. The measure requires recreational facilities, a potential school site, an internal private road system, storm drain system, underground utilities,water lines, a site for a water reclamation facility and related distribution system, detention basins and wet weather storage ponds. It would also amend County Ordinances to apply the standards included in the project for improving public and private roads if those standards conflict with the usual County standards. The measure incorporates design features and policies based on the National Green Building Standards. The measure may be amended by a majority vote of the Board of Supervisors, based on a proposal submitted by the Lilac Hills Ranch applicant or the County, or a vote of the people. The measure was placed on the ballot by a petition signed by the requisite number of voters. "Yes"is a vote to adopt this measure. "No"is a vote to deny this measure. The above statement is an impartial analysis of Measure B. A copy of the measure is also available for viewing at the Registrar of Voters website at www.sdvote.com/en/measure-b.pdf.

PR-CW01-B-2 N SD 312-040 ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE B San Diego County faces a critical housing shortage, resulting in higher housing costs and pressure to build more homes in existing communities. Measure B authorizes development of Lilac Hills Ranch, a pedestrian-oriented village in North County that includes housing priced to start at $300,000 —within reach of most working families and first-time home buyers — to address the County's housing crisis and reduce development pressures near your neighborhood. SANDAG calculated Lilac Hills Ranch reduces local traffic by giving existing residents nearby shopping, parks and a school, eliminating lengthy trips now required for these services. It also provides an alternative to lengthy commutes to San Diego employment centers from housing in southern Riverside County. Measure B requires strict energy and water-efficient green building standards and a water reclamation facility that will reduce water consumption of the completed project compared to current use of the property. Measure B requires the developer to provide a 13.5-acre public park and ten neighborhood parks, 23.8 acres of agriculture, 20.3 acres of open space with 18.3 acres maintained as orchards, preservation of 104 acres of biological open space, creation of 6 acres of wetland habitat, and a 16-mile trail network connected to County regional trails. Measure B requires the developer—not the taxpayers—to pay for these facilities. In addition, the developer is required to pay for a K-8 school to serve the project and nearby residents. Lilac Hills Ranch conforms to the vision and guiding principles of the County's General Plan, complies with fire safety standards of the local Fire Protection District, and significantly improves existing roads near the project. Lilac Hills Ranch was thoroughly reviewed for over three years by the County's Planning Department,including two comprehensive Environmental Impact Reports. Housing advocates,local residents,business leaders and taxpayers urge you to vote Yes on Measure B. w ..Yes ForBetter.com HOWARD WINDSOR LOU RIDDLE Former CALFIRE Unit Chief for San Diego and President, Bonsall Unified San Diego County Fire Chief, Retired School District Board of Trustees ALAN NEVIN MARY SALAS Director of Economic Research Mayor Xpera Group City of Chula Vista JERRY SANDERS President and CEO San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce PR-CW01-B-3 N SD 312-041 REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE B Measure B is an end-run around environmental and safety laws designed to protect all San Diegans. Lilac Hills Ranch is inconsistent with the County General Plan. The County Board of Supervisors has not voted to approve the Project. The County's own analysis of Measure B shows it is bad for the region. Measure B Will Worsen Regional Traffic Lilac Hills Ranch will add more than 19,000 daily car trips to local roads and highways. Taxpayers may foot the bill for any remaining traffic problems caused by this project. Needed improvements may cost taxpayers more than $1.005 billion. Measure B Won't Increase Affordable Housing Supplies San Diego County has an affordable housing shortage. Nothing in Measure B requires affordable housing at Lilac Hills Ranch. According to the developer, Lilac Hills single family detached homes will start at more than$500,000. Lilac Hills residents will face HOA as well as Mello-Roos fees for essential services, further driving up home costs. Measure B will not reduce the cost of housing in the county. Measure B Adds to Taxpayer Burden Measure B allows a developer to skirt county requirements to provide water, sewer, fire, and road improvements for more than 1,700 new homes on land that is zoned to support 110 homes. The project increases fire and safety risks. Taxpayers will be forced to make up for the shortfall in the developer's investment in public services. Measure B is a bad deal for San Diegans. VOTE NO ON MEASURE B PAM SLATER-PRICE DR. LOU OBERMEYER San Diego County Supervisor Retired Superintendent District 3 1992-2013 Valley Center/Pauma Unified School District VICTOR REED DIANE BARLOW COOMBS Retired Escondido City Fire Chief San Diegans for Managed Growth PATZAHAROPOULOS President—CEO Middle Class Taxpayers PR-CW01-B-4 N SD 312-042 ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE B VOTE NO ON MEASURE B. Measure B is a developer attempt to build 1,746 houses and 90,000 square feet of retail space in a critical agricultural area where only 110 homes and no retail uses are allowed by law(a 1,487% density increase). An impartial County report demonstrates that Measure B exempts crucial fire safety and road improvements. Instead of keeping residents and their children safe, Measure B may require county taxpayers to pay for the improvements. The facts in the County report show that: 1. MEASURE B won't meet the required 5-minute fire and emergency response time to protect the public and save lives. And, the developer chose not to construct an essential new fire station. 2. MEASURE B will create 19,428 car trips daily. And, MEASURE B doesn't pay for all improvements to freeways or county roads. It will take far more than the developer's proposed $5 million to fix the shortfall. It also removes critical road and intersection improvements the County required, creating unsafe road conditions for which county taxpayers will be liable. MEASURE B will exacerbate urban sprawl,which is inconsistent with the County General Plan. MEASURE B supporters claim it would provide affordable housing for low income families and veterans. NOT ONE WORD OF MEASURE B MENTIONS AFFORDABLE HOUSING. If Measure B is aooroved,there is no enforceable requirement to provide affordable housina. MEASURE B is a deceptive sweetheart deal for the developer at the expense of all San Diego County residents. Don't be fooled. VOTE NO ON MEASURE B.

LOU OBERMEYER VICTOR REED Retired Superintendent Retired Escondido City Fire Chief Valley Center/Pauma Unified School District MARTHA COX President-SD League of Women Voters North County SD PR-CW01-B-5 N SD 312-043 REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE B A small group of NIMBYs(Not In My Back Yard)seeks to block this environmentally-friendly way to address our County's worsening housing crisis. Sitting in their million dollar homes, opponents couldn't care less if you, your children or grandchildren can't afford to stay in San Diego County to raise a family. Opponents misrepresent and distort the facts about one of the best-designed master-planned communities in our County's history. Here are the facts: Lilac Hills Ranch is adjacent to a 2417-staffed fire station. Its fire safety plan was approved by the local fire protection district. It will be one of the most fire safe projects in the County. Measure B will result in reduced traffic on area roads, providing nearby commercial and other services which now require lengthy car trips. It requires the developer to pay for over$14 million in fees and upgrades to area roads. Additionally, the developer made a Ieaally bindina $2 million commitment for additional upgrades so area roads will be safer than they are now. The developer made a legally binding commitment to the local school district to provide a turnkey K-8 school to serve project residents and neighboring families. Measure B is consistent with the vision and goals of the County General Plan to provide sustainable, pedestrian-friendly villages near major transportation corridors to meet the region's housing needs. Please don't be misled by opponents. Measure B is a well-planned, environmentally-friendly way to help address our region's housing crisis. w ..Yes ForBetter.com HOWARD WINDSOR LOU RIDDLE Former CALFIRE Unit Chief for San Diego and President, Bonsall Unified School San Diego County Fire Chief, Retired District Board of Trustees ALAN NEVIN MARY SALAS Director of Economic Research Mayor Xpera Group City of Chula Vista JERRY SANDERS President and CEO San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce PR-CW01-B-6 N SD 312-044 CITY OF ENCINITAS (This Measure will appear on the ballot in the following form.) MEASURE T Shall City Council Resolution No. 2016-52 and Ordinance No. 2016-04, which collectively update the City's General Plan Housing Element, amend related General Plan provisions, and amend Specific Plans, Zoning Code, Zoning Map, Municipal Code, and Local Coastal Program, in an effort to comply with State law, incentivize greater housing affordability, implement rules to protect the character of existing neighborhoods, maintain local control of Encinitas zoning, and resolve existing lawsuits, be adopted? This measure requires approval by a simple majority(over 50%)of the voters voting on the measure.

You may also view the full text of the measure at www.sdvote.com/en/measure-t.pdf. (NOTE:Web address is in all lower case letters.) CITY ATTORNEY IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS This Measure reflects City Council actions taken to bring the City into compliance with State housing law. The State of California requires that all cities, as part of the General Plan, prepare a legally adequate Housing Element and implement its programs. The City Council prepared this comprehensive Housing Program to comply with such State law, including without limitation, encouraging the production of more affordable housing. This Measure repeals the existing Housing Element of the General Plan, and enacts a new Housing Element that locates new potential housing sites,and incentivizes their development to allow for new housing,typically with mixed land uses. This Measure also creates a new land use designation in the General Plan's Land Use Element("At Home in Encinitas")that allows existing uses to continue and thrive,while encouraging their transition to residential housing over time. This Measure also amends the General Plan Housing Element and Land Use Element to allow for three-story buildings, and amends the Noise Element to resolve internal inconsistencies and reflect contemporary noise standards for mixed land uses. This Measure amends the North 101 Corridor Specific Plan to provide additional sites that accommodate mixed land uses involving residential housing, to remove prohibitions on ground floor housing,except in key centers,and to allow all lawful means of subdividing land regardless of housing type. The Downtown Encinitas, Encinitas Ranch and Cardiff-by-the-Sea Specific Plans are also amended by this Measure to provide additional sites that accommodate mixed land uses involving residential housing. This Measure also amends the City Zoning Code by adopting a new Chapter 30.36 to provide implementation standards relative to the new General Plan Housing Element, amended Land Use Element and other amendments relative to the City's "At Home in Encinitas" Housing Program, PR-09V0-T-1 N SD 312-045 CITY ATTORNEY IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS(CONTINUED) including without limitation,new Design Guidelines to provide for development quality,the rezoning of existing sites to provide for adequate housing and to implement the amended General Plan Land Use Element's land use map, and related changes required for consistency between the General Plan amendments, Specific Plan amendments and Zoning Code. This Measure also amends Chapter 30.00 of the City Zoning Code to allow three-story buildings on those sites designated "At Home in Encinitas." However,in the Cardiff Town Center area,the height is limited to two stories. This Measure amends the Local Coastal Program by making a required request for California Coastal Commission certification of the changes to the land use policy and implementation framework to guide development in the Coastal Zone due to the above-described amendments to the General Plan, Specific Plans,Zoning Code and Municipal Code that this Measure brings about. The Encinitas City Council referred this Measure to the voters pursuant to Proposition A, which is codified in Encinitas Municipal Code Chapter 30.00, and further pursuant to the Settlement Agreements between the City and the Building Industry Association of San Diego County(BIA) and between the City and DCM Properties, Inc.

PR-09V0-T-2 N SD 312-046 ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE T Vote YES on the Encinitas Housing Plan. Measure T will update the City's housing plan and provide for future housing in Encinitas. Measure T was developed in public, by the public. This is YOUR plan — the "environmentally superior alternative"—developed after more than 140 public meetings. This plan puts any added growth in areas where it makes the most sense, taking into account economic vitality, neighborhood characteristics and traffic. A Yes vote helps Encinitas retain its local land use control and brings the city into compliance with California housing laws. It reduces taxpayer risk from lawsuits like the three already fled against the City related to compliance with state housing law. A Yes vote approves rules that require new housing to be compatible with the city's community character, but does not approve any specific projects. A Yes vote affects less than 1% of the city's total land area, distributed fairly across Encinitas. A Yes vote will enable more housing choices for seniors, millennials, first time home buyers, and young families.This could be your parents,adult children, or even you as your needs change. If we don't pass Measure T, a judge could impose a housing plan for future growth, or the city could lose its ability to make local land use decisions. Nothing would ruin our cherished community character faster than losing our self-determination when it comes to development. A"No"vote could mean protracted and expensive legal battles,paid for by you,the taxpayers. This housing plan allows for smaller, more accessible and affordable homes, and brings the city into compliance with California law. This is your opportunity to vote on the housing plan. Use your right to vote and vote YES. KRISTIN GASPAR LISA SHAFFER Mayor Deputy Mayor MARK MUIR Council Member CATHERINE BLAKESPEAR TONY KRANZ Council Member Council Member PR-09V0-T-3 N SD 312-047 REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE T In the ballot measure description and the argument in favor, NOTHING describes precisely what you are asked to approve: NO mention of UPZONING, NO mention of commercial and residential MIXED USE, NO mention of reduced parking requirements on new projects, NO mention of increased building heights to 48 feet, NO requirement of one single affordable house to be built, NO mention of the windfall profits for lucky property owners, and NO mention of the increases in traffic, carbon emissions,and strains on infrastructure. Only by reading all 230 pages of the measure do you know all the details. Design guidelines such as parking and setbacks can be waived by the unelected Director of Planning. INCONSISTENT with Prop A: changes height measurement,eliminates future update votes,adds livable attic. The Global Warming Solutions Act is ignored. Only superficial Environmental Impact Reports were done with NO vetting by our own Environmental Commission. Vote NO to preserve our unique Southern California beach town and prevent higher density. Inexpensive housing cannot be built because our land is too expensive. Glen Campora, Director of the Department of Housing and Community Development, confirmed publicly the State never sues a city for not passing a housing element update, but only finds for compliance. Lawsuits from developers could result in a judge ordering another vote. Do not let Encinitas be held hostage by a few developers. NO on Measure T.Send it back and demand a better plan.

Passage of this measure will result in the following: UPZONING. A minimum of 2,000 to 4,000 luxury condos and apartments to be built on 113 acres located at major intersections citywide,along El Camino Real, Encinitas Blvd., and Highway 101. MIXED USE. Nearly all will be combined commercial and residential,fronting major roads. HOUSING DENSITY. Increases current maximum to 30-41 units per acre. BUILDING HEIGHT. Increases current maximum of 30 feet to 48 feet, 3 stories plus a livable attic. TRAFFIC. 12,000 to 24,000 more cars on the road each day causing more congestion, strain on infrastructure,gridlock, and air pollution. PARKING. Parking reduced to only 1 car per unit will force overflow into adjacent neighborhoods, lowering property values. AFFORDABLE HOUSING. No guarantee any affordable housing will be built. All condos and apartments could be sold or rented at current market prices. DENSITY BONUS. Developers have an incentive to increase the number of units by 35% over zoning. Density bonus can be invoked on the 113 rezoned acres and will not reduce the use of density bonus throughout the entire City. COMMUNITY CHARACTER. Encinitas is the last of the small towns in coastal Southern California. Approval will destroy, not protect, our beach town. It will remove many of the protections of Prop A,the Right to Vote initiative passed in 2013. CITY STAFF CONTROL. 90% of developers' projects will be approved by one unelected staff member without Planning Commission, City Council,and public input. VOTE NO ON MEASURE T.

Measure T is your plan—the environmentally superior alternative. Opponents do not offer a plan to comply with state law. Without Measure T, the City continues to be exposed to expensive lawsuits because we do not comply with state law. Plain and simple, we must follow the law. Rejecting Measure T won't eliminate State housing requirements or make housing more affordable. But it does put our beloved community at risk. Voting YES allows Encinitas to control land use and protect community character. New projects with 10 or more units must include deed-restricted affordable housing and all projects must meet community-sensitive design guidelines. Don't be fooled by opponents' misleading claims. Measure T is consistent with Prop A. Less than 1%of Encinitas'land area will be affected.All Measure T projects will go to Planning Commission for public review. The nay-sayers offer no solutions, risk more lawsuits and offer no housing strategy. The scenarios in the opposing argument are scare tactics.Zoning changes are needed so we can allow for less expensive housing.Our cherished community character will benefit from homes that are more affordable for our seniors,our kids, and ourselves. Everyone agrees Encinitas needs more housing diversity. Measure T is an essential step in this direction. Vote YES on Measure T to protect Encinitas taxpayers, offer housing choices and comply with the law.

Bonds-Yes Bonds—No This measure requires approval by 55%of the voters voting on the measure. Full text of this measure follows the arguments and rebuttals. COUNTY COUNSEL IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS This measure was placed on the ballot by the governing board of the MiraCosta Community College District ('District"). This measure, if approved by 55% of the votes cast on the measure, will authorize the District to issue and sell $455,000,000 in general obligation bonds. The sale of these bonds by the District is for the purpose of raising money for the District, and represents a debt of the District. In exchange for the money received from the bond holders, the District promises to pay the holders an amount of interest for a certain period of time, and to repay the bonds on the expiration date. Voter approval of this measure will also authorize an annual tax to be levied upon the taxable property within the District. The purpose of this tax is to generate sufficient revenue to pay interest on the bonds as it becomes due and to provide a fund for payment of the principal on or before maturity. Proceeds from the sale of bonds authorized by this measure may be used by the District for the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation or replacement of community college facilities, including the furnishing and equipping of community college facilities, or the acquisition or lease of real property for community college facilities. The interest rate on any bond,which is established at the time of bond issuance, could not exceed 12%per annum. The final maturity date of any bond could be no later than 40 years after the date the bonds are issued as determined by the District. The tax authorized by this measure is consistent with the requirements of the California Constitution. The California Constitution permits property taxes, above the standard one percent (1%)limitation,to be levied upon real property to pay the interest and redemption charges on any bonded indebtedness for, among other things, the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or replacement of school facilities, including the furnishing and equipping of school facilities, when approved by 55%of the voters if PR-35MO-MM-1 N SD 312-051 COUNTY COUNSEL IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) (1)the proceeds from the sale oft he bonds are used only for the purposes specified, (2) the District, by evaluating safety, class size reduction, and information technology needs, has approved a list of specific projects to be funded, (3)the District will conduct an annual,independent performance audit,and (4)the District will conduct an annual,independent financial audit. If a bond measure is approved, state law requires the District to establish an independent citizens' oversight committee. The District has made this ballot measure subject to these requirements. Approval of this measure does not guarantee that the proposed projects in the District that are the subject of these bonds will be funded beyond the local revenues generated by this measure. A"YES"vote is a vote in favor of authorizing the District to issue and sell $455,000,000 in general obligation bonds. A"NO"vote is a vote against authorizing the District to issue and sell $455,000,000 in general obligation bonds. TAX RATE STATEMENT An election will be held in the MiraCosta Community College District(the"District") on November 8, 2016,for the purpose of submitting to the electors of the District the question of issuing up to $455,000,000 in principal amount of General Obligation Bonds. If such bonds are authorized and sold, the principal thereof and interest thereon will be payable from the proceeds of tax levies made upon the taxable property in the District. The following information regarding tax rates is given to comply with Section 9401 of the California Elections Code. Such information is based upon the best estimates and projections presently available from official sources, upon experience within the District,and other demonstrable factors. Based upon the foregoing and projections of the District's assessed valuation, and assuming the entire debt service will be paid through property taxation: 1. The best estimate of the tax rate that would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue during the first fiscal year after the sale of the first series of bonds,based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of fling of this statement, is$0.01499 per$100 of assessed valuation (or$14.99 per$100,000 of assessed valuation for fiscal year 2017/18. 2. The best estimate of the tax rate that would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue during the first fiscal year after the sale of the last series of bonds,based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of the fling of this statement, is$0.01499 per$100 of assessed valuation(or$14.99 per$100,000 of assessed valuation)for fiscal year 2024/25. 3. The best estimate of the highest tax rate that would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue,and an estimate of the years in which that rate will apply,based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of the fling of this statement, is$0.01499 per$100 of assessed valuation(or$14.99 per$100,000 of assessed valuation),which is projected to be the same in every fiscal year that the bonds remain outstanding. PR-35MO-MM-2 N SD 312-052 TAX RATE STATEMENT(CONTINUED) 4. The best estimate of the total debt service,including the principal and interest,that would be required to be repaid if all the bonds are issued and sold is approximately$777,089,013. Voters should note that estimated tax rate is based on the ASSESSED VALUE of taxable property on the Countys official tax rolls, no on the property's market value. In addition, taxpayers eligible for a property tax exemption, such as the homeowner's exemption, will be taxed at a lower effective tax rate than described above. Property owners should consult their own property tax bills and tax advisors to determine their property's assessed value and any applicable tax exemptions. Attention to all voters is directed to the fact that the foregoing information is based upon projections and estimates only,which are not binding upon the District. The actual timing of bond sales and the amount of bonds sold at any given time will be governed by the needs of the District, the state of the bond market, and other factors. The actual interest rates on any bonds sold will depend upon market conditions and other factors at the time of sale. The actual assessed valuations in future years will depend upon the value of the property within the District as determined in the assessment and equalization process. Therefore, the actual tax rates and the years in which such rates are applicable may vary from those presently estimated as stated above. Sunita V.Cooke, Ph.D. Superintendent President MiraCosta Community College District PR-35MO-MM-3 N SD 312-053 ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE MM Vote YES on Measure MM to improve MiraCosta College: a vital contributor to our North San Diego County economy and an essential resource for local students seeking affordable higher education and preparation for 21"century careers. MiraCosta College provides training in growing fields like biotechnology, nursing, maritime technology and high-tech manufacturing. Local technology companies, hospitals and businesses count on MiraCosta College for skilled workers. More than 1,800 active-duty military personnel, veterans and their families rely on MiraCosta College for essential job training and counseling services. From Carmel Valley in the south to Camp Pendleton in the north, more than one-third of local high school graduates attend MiraCosta College. As the cost of four- year college skyrockets, demand for MiraCosta College's excellent,affordable higher education has risen. It has been more than 50 years since MiraCosta College received significant funding for facility improvements. Classrooms, laboratories and career training facilities need upgrading. Additional classrooms and labs are needed to serve the growing demand for career training in healthcare, science, technology, engineering and math. State government will not provide the necessary funds to our college. Vote YES on MM: Upgrade career training facilities for science,nursing,healthcare,engineering, technology and skilled trades Improve facilities for veterans'job training, counseling and support services Update instructional technology for improved student learning in math,science and technology Improve access for students with disabilities Repair or replace leaky roofs,worn-out floors and restrooms, old rusty plumbing and faulty electrical systems Every Penny Stays Local All funds would support our local community college No funds could be taken by the State No funds could be spent on salaries or pensions Independent citizens'oversight is required Join business leaders, veterans, taxpayer advocates, educators and students in supporting Measure MM: protect MiraCosta College as an essential resource for local students and employers alike. GREGORY A. STEIN JOE PANETTA Chairman of the Board, President&CEO, Biocom San Diego County Taxpayers Association DAVID M. BRAHMS EMILY RUSSELL Brigadier General, USMC,(ret.) President, National Student Nurses Association at MiraCosta College JIM ASHCRAFT Encinitas Business Owner PR-35MO-MM-4 N SD 312-054 REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE MM MiraCosta College District Property Owners Alert The proposed MiraCosta College bond is completely unnecessary and a shameless waste of taxpayer's money In 2000,the percentage of votes needed to pass K12 and community college school bonds was reduced from 66 2/3rds%to 55%. Now over 80%of school bonds pass,regardless of their size or justification. Because of this, many districts are now seeking the maximum bond amounts allowed by law,rather than must what they truly need. MiraCosta's massive demolish and rebuild proposal appears to be a product of this wasteful thinking. MiraCosta wants the voters to give it$455 million,without specific plans or meaningful justification,and then allow it,in all its wisdom,to determine how to spend the money. This upside down process must be rejected because it includes no guarantees that everything presented to the voters will ever be built. MiraCosta,in its proponent statement, side stepped the point that its income over the past 50 years has been tremendous. It is one of only a few college districts that has been able to fund both an extravaaant operation and a robust buildina proaram without General Obligation Bonds,for such a period of time. Throughout the MiraCosta College District there are multiple K12 school districts. Each of which probably having one or more outstanding bonds;therefore,to avoid expensive unexpected tax impacts,the cumulative cost of all school bonds must be carefully considered before voting. Stop the Waste Vote No on Measure MM GARY D.GONSALVES MD ROBERT SONDE Medical Doctor President Encinitas Taxpayers Assoc. JERRY PETERS SHEILA S.CAMERON Pres.Of the Cardiff Taxpayers Assoc. Former Encinitas Mayor PR-35MO-MM-5 N SD 312-055 ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE MM Vote No on MiraCosta College Measure MM The proposed MiraCosta College $455 million General Obligation Bond is not necessary. This request for more tax dollars comes at a time when facility needs are declining because of flat enrollment and 40%of all of MiraCosta's credits are now being granted for online courses. MiraCosta is a wealthy district. It receives more each year in local property taxes and other income than required to operate its educational programs and with state aid, to fund its ongoing facilities' needs. Over the years, taxpayers have provided MiraCosta more than 70 buildings. About half,have been constructed in the past 40 years. Now, it appears that those in power want to reconfigure the 3 campuses. They want$455 million of your money to tear down some very expensive, fully functional buildings and to replace them with new ones. Because the $455 million is beyond MiraCosta's borrowing and state support limits, it is jumping on the bond market band wagon and hoping voters will blindly pass its unsupported Measure MM request. MiraCosta has language in this proposal that will allow it to basically use the $455 million for whatever construction projects it wants,where it wants and when it wants. Consequently, if voters approve the bond they will not be assured that everything proposed will ever be built. The massive$455 million is not justified. The MiraCosta bond request amount is 23 times more than the system wide California Community College Trustees included in its 5 year plan and 10 times more than even what MiraCosta told these trustees it needed. While additional facilities may be desired, they appear to be within the capability of the existing MiraCosta budget. No new bonds/taxes are required.

BRADY JERRY PETERS Former Board Member- President of the Cardiff Taxpayers Assoc. Republican Party of San Diego County ROBERT SONDE President Encinitas Taxpayers Association PR-35MO-MM-6 N SD 312-056 REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE MM Our opponents have misunderstood or mistaken the facts. Let's correct the record: FACT: MiraCosta College's facility needs are rising because the State of California eliminated community college facility funds 10 years ago. That's why nearly every other community college in California has passed bonds recently—some, multiple times. MiraCosta College hasn't passed one in 50 years. Measure MM is also necessary to help MiraCosta College qualify for any future state facility funds. FACT: Over 19,000 students take classes at MiraCosta College each semester, in person. MiraCosta College is a leader in providing online content, but thousands of students are pursuing programs requiring hands-on learning, real world training and practical experience. Measure MM is necessary to provide these skills for today's jobs in manufacturing,technology, healthcare and other growing fields. FACT: Our aging college, which has served our region well for decades, is offering 21st century career training in buildings from the 1950s and 1960s. We can be proud that the college has taken care of its facilities for so many years,but we live in a rapidly changing world and it's simply not possible to prepare students to compete for today's and tomorrow's jobs in classrooms and labs built 50 years ago. FACT: Measure MM is a thoughtful plan, focused on essential improvements, with a specific project list, subject to citizen oversight annual audits. That's why it is one of very few 2016 measures endorsed by the San Diego County Taxpayers Association. Please join us—Vote Yes on Measure MM.

To upgrade classrooms and career training facilities for science, healthcare, technology, advanced manufacturing, other growing local industries, provide job training/placement to Navy/ Marines/ other veterans, improve access to affordable higher education for local students, improve disabled access, repair, construct, acquire classrooms, facilities, sites/equipment, shall MiraCosta Community College District issue $455,000,000 in bonds, at legal rates, subject to local control, requiring annual audits and independent citizen oversight?" Bonds-Yes Bonds—No PROJECTS The Board of Trustees of the MiraCosta Community College District, to be responsive to the needs of its community, evaluated MiraCosta College's urgent and critical facility needs, and its capacity to provide students,active military,and Veterans with support and job training facilities, and an affordable education to prepare them for success in college and careers. Veteran's support, job training facilities, safety issues, class size and offerings, and information and computer technology were each considered in developing the scope of projects to be funded, as such are outlined in the District's Facilities Master Plan 2016 Update and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and available for review on the District's website (www.miracosta.edu). In developing the scope of projects, basic repairs,job training facilities, campus safety,facilities supporting Veterans, and the expansion of opportunities for local students to receive an affordable, quality education, were prioritized. If these facility needs are not addressed now, MiraCosta College would be unable to remain competitive in preparing students for jobs in high demand industries and university transfer. The Board of Trustees determines that MiraCosta College MUST: (i) Improve career training facilities for science, healthcare,technology and skilled trades to better prepare students and returning veterans for success in college and careers. (ii) Increase opportunities for local students to earn college credits, certifications and job skills at reasonable prices and transfer to four- year colleges and universities; (iii) Expand and improve the Veterans'Center and provide job training,job placement,counseling, and support services to Navy,Marine and other military veterans and their families; (i v) Continue training local workers and partnering with local industries in biotech,aerospace, high-tech manufacturing, biomedical engineering, computer science and nursing to drive our local economy; (v) Ensure that all money raised by this measure will stay in our community to support local students,and cannot be taken away by the State or used for other purposes; PR-35MO-MM-8 N SD 312-058 FULL TEXT OF MEASURE MM(CONTINUED) (vi) PROVIDE LOCAL NORTH COUNTY STUDENTS WITH AN AFFORDABLE, HIGH-QUALITY EDUCATION; (vii) Adhere to stringent fiscal accountability safeguards including: (a) All expenditures will be subject to annual independent financial audits, (b) No funds will be used for administrator or faculty salaries and pensions, (c) An independent citizens' oversight committee will be appointed to ensure that all funds are spent only as authorized. The following types of projects are authorized to be undertaken at each of the District's locations: PROVIDE AN AFFORDABLE EDUCATION FOR LOCAL RESIDENTS AND VETERANS: Facility Improvements Needed To Update Classroom, Laboratory Instruction and Technology To Support Core Subjects. Like Math.Science and Technology Goals and Purposes: The cost to attend the University of California and the State University systems has become so expensive,more local students and their families rely on MiraCosta College to start their education and save tens of thousands of dollars. Additional funds are needed to ensure local students have access to affordable,high quality education in North County. Since more than one-third of all local high school graduates rely on MiraCosta College for higher education and to prepare them for careers,this essential community resource must be maintained. Add classrooms and laboratories for high-demand courses in nursing,biotechnology, biomanufacturing,and other skilled trades that serve the local economy. Improve student safety and campus security systems,including security lighting, and emergency communications systems, smoke detectors,fire alarms and sprinklers. Repair leaky roofs,worn out floors and restrooms, old rusty plumbing,and faulty electrical systems. Update campus facilities to improve access for students with disabilities.
