interest on the Bonds when due. The City has covenanted in the Lease Agreement to make all Lease Payments provided for
therein, to include all such payments in its annual budgets, and to make the necessary annual appropriations for such Lease
Payments. The City’s obligation to make Lease Payments is subject to abatement in the event of damage to, destruction or
condemnation of, or title defects relating to, the Leased Premises described herein. See “SECURITY FOR THE BONDS” and
“RISK FACTORS” herein.
The City has the right to incur other obligations payable from its general revenues without the consent of the Owners
of the Bonds. The Revenues are to be received by the Authority and deposited pursuant to an Indenture of Trust, dated as of
March 1, 2017 (the “Indenture”) between the City and the Trustee.
The Bonds are subject to redemption prior to maturity as described herein. See “THE BONDS - Redemption” herein.

FUNDS HELD UNDER THE INDENTURE. THE BONDS ARE NOT A DEBT, OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY OF THE CITY,
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OR ANY OF ITS POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS (OTHER THAN THE AUTHORITY), NOR DO
THEY CONSTITUTE A PLEDGE OF THE FAITH AND CREDIT OR THE TAXING POWER OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING
(INCLUDING THE AUTHORITY AND THE CITY). THE AUTHORITY DOES NOT HAVE ANY TAXING POWER. THE BONDS
DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN INDEBTEDNESS WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY DEBT
LIMITATION OR RESTRICTION. THE CITY’S OBLIGATION TO MAKE LEASE PAYMENTS IS AN OBLIGATION PAYABLE
FROM THE CITY’S GENERAL FUND OR ANY OTHER SOURCE OF FUNDS LEGALLY AVAILABLE TO THE CITY TO MAKE
LEASE PAYMENTS. THE OBLIGATION OF THE CITY TO MAKE LEASE PAYMENTS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A DEBT OF
THE CITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY DEBT LIMIT OR RESTRICTION OR ANY
OBLIGATION FOR WHICH THE CITY IS OBLIGATED TO LEVY OR PLEDGE ANY FORM OF TAXATION, OR FOR WHICH

2017 LEASE REVENUE REFUNDING BONDS
SERIES A
(PARK PROJECT)
INTRODUCTION
General
This Official Statement, including the cover page and appendices, is provided to furnish information in
connection with the sale by the Encinitas Public Financing Authority (the “Authority”) of 2017 Lease Revenue
Refunding Bonds, Series A (Park Project) (the “Bonds”). The Bonds are being issued pursuant to the
Constitution and laws of the State of California (the “State”), including Articles 1 through 4 (commencing with
Section 6500) of Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code of the State of California (the “JPA
Law”). The Bonds are issued pursuant to an Indenture of Trust, dated as of March 1, 2017 (the “Indenture”),
between the Authority and MUFG Union Bank, N.A. (the “Trustee”).
Proceeds of the Bonds will be used to refund the Project as described herein under “THE FINANCING
PLAN,” and to pay costs of issuance of the Bonds. See “THE FINANCING PLAN,” “THE LEASED
PREMISES” and “SOURCES AND USES OF BOND PROCEEDS” herein.
The Bonds are limited obligations of the Authority payable primarily from and secured by certain
revenues (the “Revenues”) consisting of certain Lease Payments to be paid by the City pursuant to a Second
Amended and Restated Lease Agreement (the “Lease Agreement”), dated as of March 1, 2017, between the City
and the Authority, for certain real property and the improvements thereon (the “Leased Premises”). See “THE
LEASED PREMISES” herein. The City is also required to pay any taxes, assessment charges, utility charges,
maintenance and repair costs of the Leased Premises. The Lease Payments are structured to produce Revenues
sufficient to pay principal of and interest on the Bonds when due. The City has covenanted in the Lease
Agreement to make all Lease Payments provided for therein, to include all such payments in its annual budgets,
and to make the necessary annual appropriations for such rental payments. The City’s obligations to make
Lease Payments is subject to abatement in the event of damage to, destruction or condemnation of, or title
defects relating to, the Leased Premises, as described herein. (See “SECURITY FOR THE BONDS” herein).
The Revenues are to be received by the Authority and deposited pursuant to the Indenture.
Terms used in this Official Statement and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given to them in
APPENDIX C attached hereto.
The Authority and the City
The City is located in the northern coastal area of San Diego County (the “County”) overlooking the
Pacific Ocean. The City encompasses approximately 21.4 square miles and is located 30 miles north of the City
of San Diego. The California Department of Finance has estimated that the City has a population of
approximately 61,928, as of January 1, 2016. For other selected information concerning the City, see “THE
CITY” herein and APPENDIX A – “CITY FINANCIAL, ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC
INFORMATION” and APPENDIX B – “CITY’S AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2015/16” attached hereto.
The Authority was established pursuant to a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement dated November 6,
1991, between the City, the Encinitas Fire Protection District, the Encinitas Sanitation District, the Cardiff
Sanitation District (all of which have since been absorbed into the City) and the San Dieguito Water District (the
“Members”). The Authority was created for the purpose of providing financing for public capital improvements
2
for the Members, including by issuing its obligations and making loans to the Members. See “THE CITY”
herein.
Security for the Bonds
The Bonds are payable solely from, and are secured by, the Revenues (as defined under “SECURITY
FOR THE BONDS” herein), which primarily consist of the Lease Payments. The Lease Payments are payable
for the use of the Leased Premises, together with the capital improvements located thereon, leased to the City
pursuant to the Lease Agreement, from any legally available funds of the City. The City has covenanted in the
Lease Agreement to include the Lease Payments in its annual budgets. The City has further covenanted to make
the necessary annual appropriations for all such Lease Payments, and said covenants have been deemed to be
duties imposed by law. Any legislative enactment or State constitutional amendment having the effect of
reducing the property tax rate would necessarily reduce the amount of general revenues available to the City to
pay the Lease Payments. Likewise, broadened property tax exemptions could have a similar effect. See “RISK
FACTORS” and “CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY LIMITATIONS ON TAXES AND
APPROPRIATIONS” herein for discussion of certain other matters which may affect the collection of
Revenues. The Authority does not have any power to levy and collect taxes.
The City has the right to incur other obligations payable from its general revenues without the consent
of the Owners of the Bonds. In addition, the Indenture allows the Authority to issue certain additional
obligations secured by the Revenues, and the Lease Agreement allows the City to incur other obligations
secured by excess value of the Leased Premises. See “SECURITY FOR THE BONDS” herein.
THE BONDS ARE NOT A DEBT OF THE CITY, THE STATE OR ANY OF THEIR POLITICAL
SUBDIVISIONS (OTHER THAN THE AUTHORITY). THE BONDS ARE SPECIAL OBLIGATIONS OF
THE AUTHORITY AND ARE NOT OBLIGATIONS OF THE CITY. NEITHER THE FULL FAITH AND
CREDIT NOR THE TAXING POWER OF THE CITY, THE STATE OR ANY OTHER POLITICAL
SUBDIVISION THEREOF IS PLEDGED TO THE PAYMENT OF THE BONDS. THE BONDS DO NOT
CONSTITUTE AN INDEBTEDNESS WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR
STATUTORY DEBT LIMITATION OR RESTRICTION.
Abatement
Except to the extent of amounts on deposit in the Bond Fund, or otherwise available from an insurance
or eminent domain award, the Lease Payments due under the Lease Agreement and, correspondingly, the
amount available to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds, will be subject to abatement during any
period in which, by reason of damage or destruction or eminent domain, there is substantial interference with the
use and possession by the City of the Leased Premises. See “RISK FACTORS - Abatement and Eminent
Domain” herein. Amounts on deposit in the Bond Fund constitute a special fund for payment of Lease
Payments, and shall be available for such Lease Payments in the event there is substantial interference with the
use and possession of the Leased Premises.
Redemption
The Bonds are subject to optional redemption, mandatory sinking fund redemption, and special
mandatory redemption as described herein.
Continuing Disclosure
The City has covenanted for the benefit of owners of the Bonds, on behalf of itself and the Authority, to
provide certain financial information and operating data relating to the City and the Authority by not later than
March 1 of each year, commencing with the report for the 2016/17 Fiscal Year (the “Annual Report”) and to
provide notices of the occurrence of certain enumerated events. The Annual Report and notices of material
events will be filed by the City with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the “MSRB”) These
3
covenants have been made in order to assist the Underwriter in complying with Securities Exchange
Commission Rule 15c2-12(b)(5) (the “Rule”). The specific nature of the information to be contained in the
Annual Report or the notices of material events by the City is summarized in APPENDIX E – “FORM OF
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT.” The City and its related entities are currently in compliance
with all continuing disclosure obligations, however, prior instances of non-compliance are described herein
under “CONTINUING DISCLOSURE.”
Forward-Looking Statements
This Official Statement (including the appendices hereto) contains certain forward-looking statements
(collectively, the “Forward-Looking Statements”). All statements other than statements of historical facts
included in this Official Statement, are Forward-Looking Statements. Although the Authority and the City
believe that the expectations reflected in such Forward-Looking Statements are reasonable, no one can be given
assurance that such statements will prove to be correct. Important factors which could cause actual results to
differ materially from expectations of the Authority or the City (collectively, the “Cautionary Statements”) are
disclosed in this Official Statement. All Forward-Looking Statements attributable to the Authority or the City
are expressly qualified in their entirety by the Cautionary Statements.
Summary of Terms
Brief descriptions of the Bonds, the Indenture, the Lease Agreement, the Authority, the City and the
Leased Premises are included in this Official Statement. Such descriptions do not purport to be comprehensive
or definitive. All references herein to the Indenture, the JPA Law and the Constitution and the laws of the State,
as well as the proceedings of the City with respect to the Leased Premises and the Bonds, are qualified in their
entirety by reference to such documents. References herein to the Bonds are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the form thereof included in the Indenture.
Copies of the documents described herein will be available at the office of the City Finance Director,
505 South Vulcan Avenue, Encinitas, California 92024.
THE AUTHORITY
The Encinitas Public Financing Authority was established pursuant to a Joint Exercise of Powers
Agreement dated November 6, 1991, by and among the City, the Cardiff Sanitation District, the Encinitas Fire
Protection District, the Encinitas Sanitary District and the San Dieguito Water District in accordance with the
provisions of the JPA Law. The Authority was created for the purpose of providing financing for public capital
improvements for the City and the Members through the acquisition by the Authority of such public capital
improvements and/or the purchase by the Authority of local obligations within the meaning of the JPA Law.
Under the JPA Law, the Authority has the power to issue bonds to pay the costs of any public capital
improvement. The Cardiff Sanitation District, the Encinitas Fire Protection District and the Encinitas Sanitation
District have since been absorbed by the City and are treated as separate accounting divisions. The current
members of the Authority are the City and the San Dieguito Water District.
THE CITY
The City was incorporated in October 1986. Topography of the surrounding area varies from broad
coastal plains to fertile inland valleys backed up by mountain ranges to the east. The climate is equable in the
coastal and valley regions. The community has long, dry summers and mild temperatures, with mean
temperatures of 70 degrees and an average annual rainfall of 10.36 inches.
The City is the ninth largest in population in the County. Most of the land in the City is zoned
residential. The City is a general law city and operates under a council-manager form of government. The City
maintains a website at www.cityofencinitas.org. However, the information presented there is not part of
4
this Official Statement, is not incorporated by reference herein and should not be relied upon in making
an investment decision with respect to the Bonds.
For other selected information concerning the City, see “THE CITY” herein and APPENDIX A –
“CITY FINANCIAL, ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION” and APPENDIX B – “CITY’S
AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2015/16” attached hereto.

THE FINANCING PLAN
Refunding 2010 Lease Revenue Bonds
The Authority is selling the Bonds, in part, to provide moneys (together with other available funds of
the Authority) necessary to currently refund and defease in whole its $15,265,000 outstanding 2010 Lease
Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series A (Park Project) (the “Prior Bonds”). A portion of the proceeds of the
Bonds, along with certain remaining funds from the Prior Bonds, will be transferred to MUFG Union Bank,
N.A., the trustee for the Prior Bonds (the “Prior Trustee”). Proceeds deposited with the Prior Trustee will be
used by the Prior Trustee to pay the redemption price of the Prior Bonds, plus accrued interest, on April 1, 2017.
See “ESTIMATED SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS” herein. Upon deposit of such proceeds and other
moneys with the Prior Trustee, the Prior Bonds will no longer be deemed outstanding.
The moneys and securities held by the Prior Trustee are pledged to the payment of the Prior Bonds, and
are not available to pay principal of or interest on the Bonds.
The Park Project
The proceeds of the Prior Bonds were used to refund the Authority’s 2001 Lease Revenue Bonds, Series
A (Acquisition Project) (the “2001 Bonds”). The proceeds of the 2001 Bonds were used to acquire an
approximately 44 acre parcel of property for development into a recreational park. Improvements to the park
consist of athletic facilities, skate park, dog park and related infrastructure.

THE LEASED PREMISES
The Leased Premises
The Leased Premises under the Lease Agreement consist of an approximately 44 acre recreational park.
Park improvements generally consist of athletic facilities, skate park, dog park and related infrastructure.
Construction on the park improvements was completed in December 2014. The City expended approximately
$42,750,000 on the acquisition and construction of the park and park improvements. The insured value of the
Property has been determined to be $16,078,800.
Substitution of Leased Premises
Pursuant to the Lease Agreement, the City has the option at any time to substitute other land, facilities
or improvements (the “Substitute Leased Premises”) for the Leased Premises or any portion thereof (the
“Former Leased Premises”) or to release a portion of the Leased Premises (the “Released Leased Premises”)
from the lien of the Lease Agreement, provided that the City shall satisfy all of the following requirements:
(a) The City shall provide written notification of such substitution or release to the Trustee
and Rating Agencies;
(b) The City shall take all actions and shall execute all documents required to subject the
Substitute Leased Premises to the terms and provisions of the Lease Agreement, including the filing
with the Authority and the Trustee of an amended Exhibit A which adds thereto a description of the
Substitute Leased Premises and deletes therefrom the description of the Former Leased Premises or the
Released Premises, as applicable;
(c) (i) In the case of a substitution, the City shall determine and certify to the
Authority and the Trustee that the fair rental value of the Substitute Leased Premises is at least equal to
the remaining Lease Payments after such substitution and that the Substitute Leased Premises are
essential to the governmental functions of the City;
(ii) In the case of a release, the City shall determine and certify to the Authority and
the Trustee that the fair rental value of the remaining Leased Premises after removal of the
Released Premises is at least equal to the then remaining Lease Payments;
(d) In the case of a substitution, the City shall certify in writing to the Authority and the
Trustee that the Substitute Leased Premises serve the public purposes of the City and constitute property
which the City is permitted to lease under the laws of the State;
(e) In the case of a substitution, the City shall certify in writing to the Authority and the
Trustee that the estimated useful life of the Substitute Leased Premises at least extends to the date on
which the final Lease Payment becomes due and payable hereunder;
(f) In the case of a substitution, the City shall obtain a CLTA policy of title insurance in
accordance with the Lease Agreement;
(g) In the case of a substitution, the substitution of the Substitute Leased Premises shall not
cause the City to violate any of its covenants, representations and warranties made herein; and
(h) The City shall obtain and cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Authority an
opinion of Bond Counsel stating that such substitution or release is permitted hereunder and does not
cause interest on the Bonds to become includable in the gross income of the Bond Owners for federal
income tax purposes.
8
From and after the date on which all of the foregoing conditions precedent to such substitution or
release are satisfied, the Lease Agreement shall cease with respect to the Former Leased Premises or Released
Leased Premises, as applicable, and shall be continued with respect to the Substitute Leased Premises and the
remaining Leased Premises. The City shall not be entitled to any reduction, diminution, extension or other
modification of the Lease Payments whatsoever as a result of such substitution or release.
In addition, the Lease Agreement may be amended to allow the City to pay additional rental payments
for the purpose of securing additional obligations of the Authority, to the extent of excess value of the Leased
Premises. See “SECURITY FOR THE BONDS” herein.
THE BONDS
Description of the Bonds
The Bonds will be issued only in the form of fully registered Bonds without coupons, in denominations
of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof. The Bonds will be dated the date of delivery to the Underwriter, will
mature on April 1 in the years and in the respective principal amounts, and will bear interest at the respective
rates per annum, all as set forth on the inside front cover hereof. Interest on the Bonds will be paid on April 1
and October 1 of each year, commencing October 1, 2017, by check mailed on the Interest Payment Date to the
registered owners of the Bonds as of the applicable Record Date (the fifteenth day of the month preceding each
Interest Payment Date); provided however, that payment of interest may be by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to an account in the United States of America to any Owner of Bonds in the aggregate principal
amount of $1,000,000 or more who shall furnish written wire instructions to the Trustee at least five (5) days
before the applicable Record Date.
The principal of each Bond will be payable upon the surrender of such Bond, at maturity or upon
redemption prior to maturity, at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee in Los Angeles, California.
Redemption
Optional Redemption. The Bonds maturing on or before April 1, 2027 shall not be subject to
redemption prior to their respective stated maturities. The Bonds maturing on or after April 1, 2028 shall be
subject to redemption at the option of the Authority as a whole or in part, on any date on or after April 1, 2027,
from any available source of funds at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Bonds to be
redeemed together with accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption, without premium.
Sinking Account Redemption.∗ The Term Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption, in part by lot,
from Sinking Account payments set forth in the following schedule on April 1, 2029 and on April 1, 2030 at a
redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof to be redeemed (without premium), together with interest
accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, that if some but not all of the Term Bonds
have been redeemed pursuant to subsections (b) or (c) below, the total amount of Sinking Account payments to
be made subsequent to such redemption shall be reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Term
Bonds so redeemed pursuant to this subsection (a) by reducing each such future Sinking Account payment on a
pro rata basis (as nearly as practicable) in integral multiples of $5,000, as shall be designated pursuant to written
notice filed by the Authority with the Trustee.

In lieu of such redemption, the Trustee may apply amounts in the Sinking Account to the purchase of
Term Bonds at public or private sale, as and when and at such prices (including brokerage and other charges, but
excluding accrued interest, which is payable from the Interest Account) as may be directed by the Authority
prior to the selection of Bonds for redemption, except that the purchase price (exclusive of accrued interest) may
not exceed the redemption price then applicable to the Term Bonds, as set forth in a Written Request of the
Authority.
Special Mandatory Redemption From Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds. The Bonds shall also be
subject to redemption as a whole or in part on any date, from Net Proceeds required to be used for such purpose
as provided in the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued
thereon to the date fixed for redemption, without premium.
Selection of Bonds for Redemption. Except for Sinking Account Redemption as described above,
whenever provision is made in the Indenture for the redemption of less than all of the Bonds, the Trustee shall
select the Bonds to be redeemed from all Bonds or such given portion thereof not previously called for
redemption from such maturities as shall be set forth in a Written Request of the Authority filed with the
Trustee, or in the absence of such designation of maturities by the Authority, then on a pro rata basis among
maturities, and in any case, by lot within a maturity in any manner which the Trustee in its sole discretion shall
deem appropriate and fair. For purposes of such selection, the Trustee shall treat each Bond as consisting of
separate $5,000 portions and each such portion shall be subject to redemption as if such portion were a separate
Bond.
Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, not
less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days before any redemption date, to the respective Owners of any
Bonds designated for redemption at their addresses appearing on the Registration Books, and to the Securities
Depositories and to one or more of the Information Services. Each notice of redemption shall state the date of
the notice, the redemption date, the place or places of redemption, whether less than all of the Bonds (or all
Bonds of a single maturity) are to be redeemed, the CUSIP numbers and, if less than all of the Bonds of a
maturity are to be redeemed, Bond numbers of the Bonds to be redeemed, the maturity or maturities of the
Bonds to be redeemed and in the case of Bonds to be redeemed in part only, the respective portions of the
principal amount thereof to be redeemed. In case of an optional redemption as described above, notice of
redemption shall be given only if such notice expressly states that such redemption is conditional on receipt by
the Trustee of sufficient moneys on the redemption date to pay off the Bonds being redeemed. Each such notice
shall also state that on the redemption date there will become due and payable on each of said Bonds the
redemption price thereof, and that from and after such redemption date interest thereon shall cease to accrue,
and shall require that such Bonds be then surrendered. Neither the failure to receive any notice nor any defect
therein shall affect the proceedings for such redemption or the cessation of accrual of interest from and after the
redemption date. Notice of redemption of Bonds shall be given by the Trustee, at the expense of the Authority,
for and on behalf of the Authority.
Partial Redemption of Bonds. Upon surrender of any Bonds redeemed in part only, the Authority shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Owner thereof, at the expense of the Authority, a
new Bond or Bonds of authorized denominations equal in aggregate principal amount to the unredeemed portion
of the Bonds surrendered.
Effect of Redemption. Notice of redemption having been duly given as aforesaid, and moneys for
payment of the redemption price of, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption on, the
Bonds (or portions thereof) so called for redemption being held by the Trustee, on the redemption date
designated in such notice, the Bonds (or portions thereof) so called for redemption shall become due and
payable, interest on the Bonds so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, said Bonds (or portions thereof)
shall cease to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and the Owners of said Bonds shall have
no rights in respect thereof except to receive payment of the redemption price thereof.
10
Book-Entry System
So long as Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Bonds, transfer or exchange of Bonds may only be
through the facilities of DTC. See APPENDIX F with respect to DTC procedures for transfer and exchange of
ownership interests in the Bonds. DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued
as fully-registered bonds registered in the name of Cede & Co., (DTC’s partnership nominee). One fully-
registered Bond will be issued for each maturity of the Bonds, each in the aggregate principal amount of such
maturity, and will be deposited with DTC. See APPENDIX F – “BOOK-ENTRY PROVISIONS” herein.
The Authority, the City and the Trustee cannot and do not give any assurances that DTC, DTC
Participants or others will distribute payments of principal, interest or premium with respect to the Bonds paid to
DTC or its nominee as the registered owner, or will distribute any redemption notices or other notices, to the
Beneficial Owners, or that they will do so on a timely basis or will serve and act in the manner described in this
Official Statement. The Authority, the City and the Trustee are not responsible or liable for the failure of DTC
or any DTC Participant to make any payment or give any notice to a Beneficial Owner with respect to the Bonds
or an error or delay relating thereto.
SECURITY FOR THE BONDS
General
The Indenture provides that, subject to certain rights of the Trustee, the Bonds are equally and ratably
payable from and secured by a first lien on and pledge of all Revenues and a pledge of all of the moneys held in
the Interest Account, the Principal Account and the Sinking Account, including all amounts derived from the
investment of such moneys. “Revenues,” as defined in the Indenture, generally means (a) all amounts received
by the Authority or the Trustee pursuant to or with respect to the Lease Agreement, including, without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, all of the Lease Payments (including both timely and delinquent payments, any
late charges, and whether paid from any source), but excluding any amounts payable under Section 4.08(d) of
the Lease Agreement; and (b) all interest, profits or other income derived from the investment of amounts in any
fund or account established pursuant to the Indenture. The principal payable with respect to the Lease Payments
is $11,955,000.
The City is obligated to pay Lease Payments under the Lease Agreement from any legally available
moneys, including its General Fund. Under California law, the obligation of the City to make Lease Payments
is contingent upon the availability of the Leased Premises for use and occupancy by the City. See “Abatement”
below. See “THE LEASED PREMISES” herein.
Under the Indenture, the Authority is authorized under certain conditions to issue additional obligations
secured by the Revenues. See “Additional Bonds” below. Under the Lease Agreement, the City is allowed to
incur other obligations secured by excess value of the Leased Premises.
The Revenues and other funds pledged under the Indenture are the sole security for the Bonds,
and the Authority has no other source of funds, other than the Lease Payments, to pay debt service on the
Bonds.
See APPENDIX C hereto for a summary of the terms of the Indenture and the Lease Agreement.
THE BONDS ARE NOT A DEBT OF THE CITY, THE STATE OR ANY OF ITS POLITICAL
SUBDIVISIONS, AND NEITHER THE CITY, THE STATE NOR ANY OF ITS POLITICAL
SUBDIVISIONS, OTHER THAN THE AUTHORITY, IS LIABLE THEREFOR. THE PRINCIPAL OF,
PREMIUM, IF ANY, AND INTEREST ON THE BONDS ARE PAYABLE SOLELY FROM THE
REVENUES. THE CITY’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LEASE AGREEMENT ARE UNSECURED
OBLIGATIONS PAYABLE FROM ANY LEGALLY AVAILABLE FUNDS OF THE CITY. THE BONDS
DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN INDEBTEDNESS WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR
11
STATUTORY DEBT LIMIT OR RESTRICTION AND DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN OBLIGATION FOR
WHICH THE CITY OR THE STATE IS OBLIGATED TO LEVY OR PLEDGE ANY FORM OF TAXATION
OR FOR WHICH THE CITY OF THE STATE HAS LEVIED OR PLEDGED ANY FORM OF TAXATION.
Lease Payments
The City has covenanted under the Lease Agreement to make Lease Payments for the use and
possession of the Leased Premises. So long as the Leased Premises are available for the City’s use, the City has
covenanted to take such action each year as may be necessary to include all Lease Payments in its annual budget
and annually to appropriate an amount necessary to make such Lease Payments (see “Abatement” below). The
amounts payable to the Trustee as Lease Payments are to be used to make the payments of principal and interest
on the Bonds. The obligation of the City to make Lease Payments (other than to the extent that funds to make
Lease Payments are available in the Bond Fund or otherwise available from an insurance or eminent domain
award) may be abated in whole or in part if the City does not have use and possession of the Leased Premises.
Lease Payments are required to be made by the City under the Lease Agreement on each Interest
Payment Date (individually, a “Lease Payment Date”), for use and possession of the Leased Premises to the next
occurring Lease Payment Date. The amount of such Lease Payment shall be credited with amounts on deposit
in the Bond Fund on such Lease Payment Date. Lease Payments due on each Lease Payment Date shall also be
reduced by the amount of earnings received by the Trustee as of such Lease Payment Date from the investment
of certain funds held by the Trustee. Lease Payments are required to be deposited in the Bond Fund maintained
by the Trustee. Pursuant to the Indenture, on each Interest Payment Date the Trustee will withdraw from the
Bond Fund amounts to make principal and interest payments on the Bonds.
The Lease Payments are structured to produce Revenues sufficient to pay principal of and interest on the
Bonds when due. While the Lease Payments are subject to optional prepayment, Revenues resulting from such
action will be used to redeem a corresponding amount of the Bonds, so that the remaining Lease Payments will
be sufficient to pay the scheduled principal and interest payments on the Bonds.
Scheduled Lease Payments relating to the Bonds are set forth herein under the heading “SOURCES
AND USES OF BOND FUNDS – Debt Service Schedule.”
Additional Bonds
The Authority is authorized in the Indenture, without the consent of the Bondholders, to issue additional
obligations secured by a pledge of the Revenues on a parity to the pledge securing the outstanding Bonds,
provided the Lease Agreement is amended to obligate the City to pay additional amounts of rental thereunder
for the use and occupancy of the Leased Premises, provided that (A) no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing under the Lease Agreement, (B) such additional amounts of rental do not cause the total rental
payments made by the City thereunder to exceed the fair rental value of the Leased Premises, as set forth in a
certificate of a City Representative filed with the Trustee and the Authority, (C) the City shall have obtained and
filed with the Trustee and the Authority a Written Certificate of an Authorized Representative of the City
showing that the fair rental value of the Leased Premises is not less than the sum of the aggregate unpaid
principal components of the Lease Payments and the aggregate principal components of such additional amounts
of rental, (D) such additional amounts of rental are pledged or assigned for the payment of any bonds, notes,
leases or other obligations the proceeds of which shall be applied to finance the construction or acquisition of
land, facilities or other improvements which are authorized pursuant to the laws of the State, and (E) such
additional rental is not at variable rates.
Appropriation; Use of Leased Premises
The City has covenanted to take such action as may be necessary to include all Lease Payments due
under the Lease Agreement in each of its proposed annual budgets and its final adopted annual budgets and to
12
make the necessary appropriations for such Lease Payments and Additional Payments, except to the extent such
payments are abated (see “Abatement” below). The foregoing covenant on the part of the City shall be deemed
to be and shall be construed to be a duty imposed by law and it shall be the duty of each and every public
official of the City to take such action and do such things as are required by law in the performance of the
official duty of such officials to enable the City to carry out and perform its covenants and agreements in the
Lease Agreement.
The obligation of the City to pay Lease Payments shall constitute a current expense of the City and shall
not in any way be construed to be a debt of the City, or the State, or any political subdivision thereof, in
contravention of any applicable constitutional or statutory limitation or requirements concerning the creation of
indebtedness by the City, the State, or any political subdivision thereof, nor shall such obligations constitute a
pledge of general revenues, funds or moneys of the City beyond the Fiscal Year for which the City has
appropriated funds to pay Lease Payments or an obligation of the City for which the City is obligated to levy or
pledge any form of taxation or for which the City has levied or pledged any form of taxation.
Abatement
The Lease Payments allocable to the Leased Premises shall be abated during any period in which by
reason of damage or destruction (other than by eminent domain which is hereinbefore provided for) there is
substantial interference with the use and occupancy by the City of the Leased Premises or any portion thereof.
The amounts of the Lease Payments under such circumstances may not be less than the amounts of the unpaid
Lease Payments, unless such unpaid amounts are determined to be greater than the fair rental value of the
portions of the Leased Premises not damaged or destroyed, based upon the opinion of an MAI appraiser with
expertise in valuing such properties or other appropriate method of valuation, in which event the Lease
Payments shall be abated such that they represent said fair rental value. Such abatement shall continue for the
period commencing with such damage or destruction and ending with the substantial completion of the work of
repair or reconstruction. In the event of any such damage or destruction, this Lease Agreement shall continue in
full force and effect and the City waives any right to terminate this Lease Agreement by virtue of any such
damage and destruction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there may be no abatement of Lease Payments to the
extent that (a) the proceeds of rental interruption insurance, are available to pay Lease Payments, or (b) amounts
in the Bond Fund are available to pay Debt Service payable from Lease Payments which would otherwise be
abated.
Action on Default
Should the City default under the Lease Agreement, the Trustee, as assignee of the Authority under the
Lease Agreement may exercise any and all remedies available pursuant to law. However, the Trustee may not
accelerate the Lease Payments or otherwise declare any Lease Payments not then in default to be immediately
due and payable or terminate the Lease or cause the leasehold interest of the Authority or the sub-leasehold
interest of the City in the Leased Premises to be sold, assigned or otherwise alienated. The City expressly
agrees that in the event of any default it will remain liable for the payment of all Lease Payments and the
performance of all conditions contained in the Lease Agreement and will reimburse the Authority for any
deficiency arising out of the re-leasing of the Leased Premises or, in the event the Authority is unable to re-lease
the Leased Premises, then for the full amount of all Lease Payments to the end of the term of the Lease
Agreement. See “RISK FACTORS” herein.
For a description of the events of default and permitted remedies of the Trustee (as assignee of the
Authority) contained in the Lease Agreement and the Indenture, see APPENDIX C hereto.
Miscellaneous Rent
In addition to the Lease Payments, the City shall pay when due the following items of Miscellaneous
Rent:
13
All fees and expenses incurred by the Authority in connection with or by reason of its leasehold estate in
the Leased Premises as and when the same become due and payable;
All compensation and indemnification due to the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture for all services
rendered under the Indenture and for all reasonable expenses, charges, costs, liabilities, legal fees and other
disbursements incurred in and about the performance of its powers and duties under the Indenture;
The reasonable fees and expenses of such accountants, consultants, attorneys and other experts as may
be engaged by the Authority or the Trustee to prepare audits, financial statements, reports, opinions or provide
such other services required under this Lease Agreement or the Indenture; and
The reasonable out of pocket expenses of the Authority in connection with the execution and delivery of
this Lease Agreement or the Indenture, or in connection with the issuance of the Bonds.
Insurance
The Lease Agreement contains the insurance covenants described below. No assurance can be given
that insurance proceeds will be available or, if available, adequate in an amount sufficient to avoid an
interruption of Lease Payments. Under such a situation, an abatement of Lease Payments is likely to occur. See
“Abatement” above.
The Lease Agreement requires the City to obtain a standard comprehensive general liability insurance
policy or policies in protection of the Authority and the City, including their respective members, officers,
agents, employees and assigns. Said policy or policies must provide coverage in the minimum liability limits of
$1,000,000 for personal injury or death of each person and $3,000,000 for personal injury or deaths of two or
more persons in each accident or event, and in a minimum amount of $100,000 for damage to property resulting
from each accident or event. Such public liability and property damage insurance may, however, be in the form
of a single limit policy in the amount of $3,000,000 (subject to a deductible clause of not to exceed $150,000)
covering all such risks.
The Lease Agreement also requires the City to maintain, or cause to be maintained, casualty insurance
insuring the facilities on the Leased Premises against loss or damage by fire and lightning, with extended
coverage and vandalism and malicious mischief insurance and all other risks in an amount equal to the lesser of
100% of the replacement cost of the facilities or the aggregate unpaid principal components of the Lease
Payments allocable to the facilities. Such insurance may be subject to such deductibles as the City deems
prudent.
The Lease Agreement further requires the City to cause to be maintained, throughout the term of the
Lease Agreement, rental interruption or use and occupancy insurance to cover loss, total or partial, of the use of
the Leased Premises as a result of any of the hazards covered by the insurance in an amount at least equal to the
maximum Leased Payments allocable to the facilities coming due and payable during any future 24 month
period.
The Lease Agreement allows the City to maintain any such insurance as part of or in conjunction with
any other insurance coverage carried by the City or, in whole or in part, in the form of self-insurance by the City
or through participation by the City in a joint powers agency or other program providing pooled insurance.
The Lease Agreement also requires the City to obtain an CLTA policy of title insurance insuring the
City’s leasehold estate, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, in an amount at least equal to the aggregate
principal amount of the Bonds.
See APPENDIX C – “SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL LEGAL DOCUMENTS – Lease Agreement –
Insurance.”
14
Insurance proceeds are required to be applied to the repair of the Leased Premises; or if the proceeds are
insufficient to repair or replace the Leased Premises, the City may prepay the related Lease Payments and
thereby cause the redemption of outstanding Bonds. The Lease Agreement permits the City to satisfy certain of
its insurance requirements through a self-insurance program.
No Reserve Account
Neither the City nor the Authority will create or maintain a debt service reserve account with respect to
the Lease Payments or for the Bonds.
RISK FACTORS
The following factors, along with other information in this Official Statement, should be considered by
potential investors in evaluating the risks in the purchase of the Bonds. However, the following does not
purport to be an exhaustive listing of risk factors and other considerations which may be relevant to an
investment in the Bonds. Additionally, there can be no assurance that other risk factors will not become evident
at any future time.
No Tax Pledge
The Bonds are special obligations of the Authority, payable solely from Lease Payments and the other
assets pledged under the Indenture. Neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the Authority, the City or
the State, or any political subdivision thereof, is pledged to the payment of the Bonds. The Authority has no
taxing power.
The obligation of the City to pay the Lease Payments does not constitute an obligation of the City for
which the City has levied or pledged any form of taxation. The obligation of the City to pay Lease Payments
does not constitute a debt or indebtedness of the City, the Authority, the State of California or any of its political
subdivisions, within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory debt limit or restriction.
Appropriation
Although the Lease Agreement does not create a pledge, lien or encumbrance upon the funds of the
City, the City is obligated under the Lease Agreement, so long as the Leased Premises are available for its use
and possession, to pay Lease Payments from any source of legally available funds (subject to certain exceptions)
and has covenanted in the Lease Agreement that, for so long as the Leased Premises are available for its use, it
will make the necessary annual appropriations within its budget for all Lease Payments. However, the City is
currently liable on other obligations payable from general revenues which may have a priority over the Lease
Payments (for example, if the City were to issue tax revenue anticipation notes), and the Lease Agreement does
not prohibit the City from incurring additional obligations payable from general revenues. See APPENDIX A –
“CITY FINANCIAL, ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION” herein and the financial
statements included in APPENDIX B hereto. In the event the City’s revenue sources are less than its total
obligations, the City could choose to fund other municipal services before making Lease Payments and other
payments due under the Lease Agreement, except from amounts on deposit in the Bond Fund. The City’s ability
to collect, budget and appropriate various revenues is subject to current and future State laws and constitutional
provisions, and it is possible that the interpretation and application of these provisions could result in an inability
of the City to pay Lease Payments when due (see “CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY LIMITATIONS
ON TAXES AND APPROPRIATIONS” below).
No Limit on Additional General Fund Obligations
The City has the ability to enter into other obligations which may constitute additional charges against
its general revenues. To the extent that such additional obligations are incurred by the City, the funds available
15
to make Lease Payments may be decreased. See also “SECURITY FOR THE BONDS – Additional Bonds”
herein.
Abatement and Eminent Domain
Lease Payments are to be paid by the City in each rental period for and in consideration of the right to
use and occupy the Leased Premises during each such period. The obligation of the City to make Lease
Payments (other than to the extent that funds to make Lease Payments are available in the Bond Fund created
under the Indenture) may be abated in whole or in part if the City does not have use and possession of the
Leased Premises.
The amount of Lease Payments due under the Lease Agreement will be adjusted or abated during any
period in which by reason of damage or destruction or eminent domain there is interference with the use and
occupancy by the City of the Leased Premises. Such adjustment or abatement will end with the substantial
completion or replacement, repair or reconstruction of the Leased Premises. If damage or destruction or
eminent domain proceedings with respect to the Leased Premises result in abatement of Lease Payments and the
resulting Lease Payments are insufficient to make all payments of principal and interest due on the Bonds during
the period that the Leased Premises are being replaced, repaired or reconstructed, then such payments of
principal and interest may not be made and no remedy is available to the Trustee or the Owners of the Bonds,
under the Lease Agreement or Indenture, for nonpayment under such circumstances.
No Reserve Fund
Neither the City nor the Authority will create or maintain a debt service reserve account with respect to
the Lease Payments or for the Bonds.
Sufficiency of Lease Payments
The Lease Payments are structured to produce Revenues sufficient to pay principal of, and interest on,
the Bonds when due. While the Lease Payments are subject to optional prepayment, Revenues resulting from
such actions will be sufficient to redeem a corresponding amount of the Bonds, so that the remaining Lease
Payments will be sufficient to pay remaining debt service on the Bonds. The Authority has no other source of
funds available to pay principal of and interest on the Bonds.
Limitation on Enforcement of Remedies; No Acceleration
The enforcement of any remedies provided in the Lease Agreement and Indenture could prove both
expensive and time consuming. Although the Lease Agreement provides that the Trustee may take possession
of the Leased Premises and lease it if there is a default by the City, and the Lease Agreement provides that the
Trustee may have such rights of access to the Leased Premises as may be necessary to exercise any remedies,
portions of such Leased Premises may not be easily subject to reletting and could be of little value to others.
Furthermore, it is not certain whether a court would permit the exercise of the remedies of repossession and
leasing with respect thereto.
The rights of the Owners of the Bonds are subject to the limitations on legal remedies against cities in
the State, including a limitation on enforcement of judgments against funds needed to serve the public welfare
and interest.
IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT UNDER THE LEASE AGREEMENT, THERE IS NO
AVAILABLE REMEDY OF ACCELERATION OF THE TOTAL LEASE PAYMENTS DUE OVER THE
TERM OF THE LEASE AGREEMENT. THE CITY WILL ONLY BE LIABLE FOR LEASE PAYMENTS
ON AN ANNUAL BASIS AS THEY COME DUE, AND THE TRUSTEE WOULD BE REQUIRED TO
SEEK SEPARATE JUDGMENTS FOR THE LEASE PAYMENTS AS THEY COME DUE. IN ADDITION,
ANY SUCH SUIT FOR MONEY DAMAGES COULD BE SUBJECT TO LIMITATIONS ON LEGAL
16
REMEDIES AGAINST PUBLIC AGENCIES IN CALIFORNIA, INCLUDING A LIMITATION ON
ENFORCEMENT OF JUDGMENTS AGAINST FUNDS NEEDED TO SERVE THE PUBLIC WELFARE
AND INTEREST AND A LIMITATION ON ENFORCEMENT OF JUDGMENTS AGAINST FUNDS OF A
FISCAL YEAR OTHER THAN THE FISCAL YEAR IN WHICH THE LEASE PAYMENTS WERE DUE.
Seismic, Topographic and Climatic Conditions
The value of the Leased Premises, and the financial stability of the City, can be adversely affected by a
variety of factors, particularly those which may affect infrastructure and other public improvements and private
improvements and the continued habitability and enjoyment of such improvements. Such additional factors
include, without limitation, geologic conditions (such as earthquakes), topographic conditions (such as earth
movements and floods) and climatic conditions (such as droughts and tornadoes).
The area encompassed by the City, like that in much of California, may be subject to unpredictable
seismic activity. The City is located within an alluvial plain and liquefaction area. There are no special study
zones within the City. Although the City believes that no active or inactive fault lines pass through the City, if
there were to be an occurrence of severe seismic activity in the City, there could be an abatement or adverse
impact on the City's ability to pay the Lease Payments. The City is not obligated to maintain earthquake
insurance with respect to the Leased Premises.
Building codes require that some of these factors be taken into account, to a limited extent, in the design
of improvements, including improvements of the Leased Premises. Some of these factors may also be taken
into account, to a limited extent, in the design of other infrastructure and public improvements neither designed
nor subject to design approval by the City. Design criteria in any of these circumstances are established upon
the basis of a variety of considerations and may change, leaving previously-designed improvements unaffected
by more stringent subsequently established criteria. In general, design criteria reflect a balance at the time of
protection and the future costs of lack of protection, based in part upon a present perception of the probability
that the condition will occur and the seriousness of the condition should it occur. Conditions may occur and
may result in damage to improvements of varying seriousness, such that the damage may entail significant
repair or replacement costs and that repair or replacement may never occur either because of the cost or because
repair or replacement will not facilitate habitability or other use, or because other considerations preclude such
repair or replacement. Under any of these circumstances, the actual value of the Leased Premises, as well as
public and private improvements within the City in general, may well depreciate or disappear, notwithstanding
the establishment of design criteria for any such condition. See “Abatement and Eminent Domain” above.
The City is exposed to a variety of wildfire hazard conditions ranging from very low levels of risk along
the coastal portions of the City, to more severe hazards in the inland areas. The Project is located on the
western, or coastal, side of Interstate 5, and is not considered at significant risk. Currently, fire hazard severity
is a function of fuel conditions, historic climate, wind conditions, and topography. Population density or the
number of structures in a particular region are not currently used to determine the fire hazard severity for a
particular region. The fact that an area is in a low to moderate hazard area does not mean it cannot experience a
damaging fire; it means only that the probability is reduced, generally because the number of days a year that the
area has “fire weather” is less.
Hazardous Substances
An environmental condition that may result in the reduction in the assessed value of parcels would be
the discovery of any hazardous substance that would limit the beneficial use of a property within the City, or the
value of the Leased Premises. In general, the owners and operators of a property may be required by law to
remedy conditions of the property relating to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances. The
Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, sometimes referred
to as “CERCLA” or the “Superfund Act” is the most well-known and widely applicable of these laws, but
California laws with regard to hazardous substances are also stringent and similar. Under many of these laws,
17
the owner (or operator) is obligated to remedy a hazardous substance condition of property whether or not the
owner or operator has anything to do with creating or handling the hazardous substance. The effect, therefore,
should the Leased Premises or any substantial amount of property within the City be affected by a hazardous
substance, would be to reduce the marketability and value of the property by the costs of, and any liability
incurred by, remedying the condition, since the purchaser, upon becoming an owner, will become obligated to
remedy the condition just as is the seller. Such reduction could adversely impact the property tax revenues
received by the City and deposited in the General Fund, which could significantly and adversely affect the
operations and finances of the City. The City and the Authority do not believe that the use of any of such
substances has adversely affected the value of the Leased Premises.
Public Debt Burden on Leased Premises
The ability of land owners within the City to pay property tax installments as they come due could be
affected by the existence of other taxes and assessments, imposed upon the land. In addition, other public
agencies whose boundaries overlap those of the City could, without consent of the City, and in certain cases
without the consent of the owners of the land within the City, impose additional taxes or assessment liens on the
property within the City to finance public improvements to be located inside of or outside of the City. See
APPENDIX A hereto for a statement of direct and overlapping debt on property within the City.
Risk of Uninsured Loss
The City covenants under the Lease Agreement to cause to be maintained certain insurance policies on
the Leased Premises. These insurance policies do not cover all types of risk. For instance, the City does not
covenant to maintain earthquake insurance. The City may self-insure in certain circumstances. Moreover, the
insurance maintained by the City may provide for deductible amounts. The Leased Premises could be damaged
or destroyed due to earthquake or other casualty for which the Leased Premises are uninsured. Under these
circumstances, an abatement of Lease Payments could occur and could continue indefinitely. There can be no
assurance that the providers of the City’s liability and rental interruption insurance will in all events be able or
willing to make payments under the respective policies for such loss should a claim be made under such
policies. Further, there can be no assurances that amounts received as proceeds from insurance or from
condemnation of the Leased Premises will be sufficient to prepay the Lease Payments which secure the Bonds.
Property Tax Allocation by the State; Changes in Law
The responsibility for allocating general property taxes was assigned to the State by Proposition 13,
which stated that property taxes were to be allocated “according to law.” The formula for such allocation was
contained in Assembly Bill 8 (“AB 8”), adopted in 1978, which allocates property taxes among cities, counties,
and school districts. The formulas contained in AB 8 were designed to allocate property taxes in proportion to
the share of property taxes received by a local entity prior to Proposition 13. See “CONSTITUTIONAL AND
STATUTORY LIMITATIONS ON TAXES AND APPROPRIATIONS – Limitations on Revenues.”
Beginning in its fiscal year 1992-93, in response to its own budgetary shortfalls, the State began to
permanently redirect billions of dollars of property taxes Statewide from cities, counties, and certain special
districts to schools and community college districts. These redirected funds reduced the State's funding
obligation for K-14 school districts by a commensurate amount. In response, Proposition 1A of 2004, approved
by State voters in November 2004 and generally effective in Fiscal Year 2006-07, provided that the State may
not reduce any local sales tax rate, limit existing local government authority to levy a sales tax rate or change the
allocation of local sales tax revenues, subject to certain limitations. However, pursuant to Proposition 1A and
beginning in Fiscal Year 2008-09, the State could, upon gubernatorial proclamation of fiscal hardship and
following approval of two-thirds of both houses of the legislature, and it did, shift to schools and community
colleges up to 8% of local government ad valorem property tax revenues, which amount must be repaid, with
interest, within three years. The State could also approve voluntary exchanges of local sales tax and property tax
revenues among local governments within a county. In November 2010, State voters approved Proposition 22,
18
which amends the State's constitution to eliminate the State’s authority to temporarily shift additional ad
valorem property taxes from cities, counties and special districts to schools, among other things. See
“CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY LIMITATIONS ON TAXES AND APPROPRIATIONS, – Voter
Initiatives.”
No assurance can be given that the State, the County’s or the City electorate will not at some future time
adopt initiatives, or that the State Legislature will not enact legislation that will amend the laws of the State in a
manner that could result in a reduction of the City’s property tax allocations or its other revenues and therefore a
reduction of the funds legally available to the City to pay Lease Payments and other payments due under the
Lease Agreement. See, for example, “CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY LIMITATIONS ON TAXES
AND APPROPRIATIONS – Article XIIIC and Article XIIID of the State Constitution.”
Bankruptcy and Foreclosure
The enforceability of the rights and remedies of the Owners and the obligations of the Authority and the
City may become subject to the following: the federal bankruptcy code and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally, now or hereafter in effect; usual equitable principles which may limit the specific enforcement under
state law of certain remedies; the exercise by the United States of America of the powers delegated to it by the
Federal Constitution; and the reasonable and necessary exercise, in certain exceptional situations, of the police
power inherent in the sovereignty of the State of California and its governmental bodies in the interest of serving
a significant and legitimate public purpose. Bankruptcy proceedings, or the exercising of powers by the federal
or state government, if initiated, could subject the Owners to judicial discretion and interpretation of their rights
in bankruptcy or otherwise and consequently may entail risks of delay, limitation, or modification of their rights.
Additionally, failure by major property owners to pay property taxes when due will have an adverse impact on
revenues of the City available to pay Lease Payments, and would increase the likelihood of a delay or default in
payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds. The various legal opinions to be delivered concurrently
with the delivery of the Bonds (including Bond Counsel’s approving legal opinion) will be qualified, as to the
enforceability of the various legal instruments, by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other similar laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally.
Federal Tax-Exempt Status of the Bonds
Tax-Exempt Status of Interest on the Bonds. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”) imposes a number of requirements that must be satisfied for interest on state and local obligations, such
as the Bonds, to be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. These requirements include
limitations on the use of Bond proceeds, limitations on the investment earnings on Bonds proceeds prior to
expenditure, a requirement that certain investment earnings on the Bond proceeds be paid periodically to the
United States and a requirement that the issuers file an information report with the Internal Revenue Service (the
“IRS”). The Authority and the City have covenanted in certain of the documents referred to herein that they will
comply with such requirements. Failure to comply with the requirements stated in the Code and related
regulations, rulings and policies may result in the treatment of interest on the Bonds as taxable, retroactively to
the date of issuance of such Bonds.
Audit. As a part of a larger reorganization of the IRS, the IRS commenced operation of its Tax Exempt
and Government Entities Division (the “TE/GE Division”), as the successor to its Employee Plans and Exempt
Organizations division. The TE/GE Division has a subdivision that is specifically devoted to tax-exempt bond
compliance. Public statements by IRS officials indicate that the number of tax-exempt bond examinations is
expected to increase significantly under the TE/GE Division. There is no assurance that an IRS examination of
the Series A Bonds, if one is undertaken, will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status or market value of such
Series A Bonds.
19
Secondary Market Risk
There can be no guarantee that there will be a secondary market for the Bonds or, if a secondary market
exists, that such Bonds can be sold for any particular price. Occasionally, because of general market conditions
or because of adverse history or economic prospects connected with a particular issue, secondary marketing
practices in connection with a particular issue are suspended or terminated. Additionally, prices of issues for
which a market is being made will depend upon then prevailing circumstances. Such prices could be
substantially different from the original purchase price.
Substitution and Removal of Leased Premises
The Authority and the City may, under the terms of the Lease Agreement, substitute alternate real
property for any portion of the Leased Premises or release a portion of the Leased Premises from the Lease
Agreement, upon compliance with all of the conditions set forth in the Lease Agreement. After a substitution or
release, the portion of the Leased Premises for which the substitution or release has been effected shall be
released from the leasehold encumbrance of the Lease Agreement. See “THE LEASED PREMISES –
Substitution of Leased Premises” herein.
No Liability of Authority to the Owners
Except as expressly provided in the Indenture, the Authority will not have any obligation or liability to
the Owners of the Bonds with respect to the payment when due of the Lease Payments by the City, or with
respect to the performance by the City of other agreements and covenants required to be performed by it
contained in the Lease Agreement or the Indenture, or with respect to the performance by the Trustee of any
right or obligation required to be performed by it contained in the Indenture.
CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY LIMITATIONS ON TAXES AND APPROPRIATIONS
Limitations on Revenues
Article XIIIA of the California Constitution. Article XIIIA of the State Constitution, adopted and
known as Proposition 13, was approved by the voters in June 1978. Section 1(a) of Article XIIIA limits the
maximum ad valorem tax on real property to one percent of “full cash value,” and provides that such tax shall be
collected by the counties and apportioned according to State law. Section 1(b) of Article XIIIA provides that the
one-percent limitation does not apply to ad valorem taxes levied to pay interest and redemption charges on (i)
indebtedness approved by the voters prior to July 1, 1978, or (ii) bonded indebtedness for the acquisition or
improvement of real property approved on or after July 1, 1978, by two-thirds of the votes cast on the
proposition, or (iii) bonded indebtedness incurred by a school district or community college district for the
construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation or replacement of school facilities or the acquisition or lease of real
property for school facilities, approved by 55% of the voters of the district, but only if certain accountability
measures are included in the proposition.
Section 2 of Article XIIIA defines “full cash value” to mean the county assessor’s valuation of real
property as shown on the fiscal year 1975-76 tax bill, or, thereafter, the appraised value of real property when
purchased, newly constructed, or a change in ownership has occurred. The full cash value may be adjusted
annually to reflect inflation at a rate not to exceed two percent per year, or to reflect a reduction in the consumer
price index or comparable data for the area under taxing jurisdiction, or may be reduced in the event of declining
property value caused by substantial damage, destruction or other factors. Legislation enacted by the State
Legislature to implement Article XIIIA provides that, notwithstanding any other law, local agencies may not
levy any ad valorem property tax except the 1% base tax levied by each County and taxes to pay debt service on
indebtedness approved by the voters as described above.
Since its adoption, Article XIIIA has been amended a number of times. These amendments have created
a number of exceptions to the requirement that property be reassessed when purchased, newly constructed or a
20
change in ownership has occurred. These exceptions include certain transfers of real property between family
members, certain purchases of replacement dwellings for persons over age 55 and by property owners whose
original property has been destroyed in a declared disaster, and certain improvements to accommodate disabled
persons and for seismic upgrades to property. These amendments have resulted in marginal reductions in the
property tax revenues of the City.
Both the California State Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court have upheld the validity
of Article XIIIA.
Article XIIIC and Article XIIID of the California Constitution. On November 5, 1996, the voters of
the State approved Proposition 218, known as the “Right to Vote on Taxes Act.” Proposition 218 adds Articles
XIIIC and XIIID to the California Constitution and contains a number of interrelated provisions affecting the
ability of the City to levy and collect both existing and future taxes, assessments, fees and charges.
On November 2, 2010, California voters approved Proposition 26, entitled the “Supermajority Vote to
Pass New Taxes and Fees Act.” Section 1 of Proposition 26 declares that Proposition 26 is intended to limit the
ability of the State Legislature and local government to circumvent existing restrictions on increasing taxes by
defining the new or expanded taxes as “fees.” Proposition 26 amended Articles XIIIA and XIIIC of the State
Constitution. The amendments to Article XIIIA limit the ability of the State Legislature to impose higher taxes
(as defined in Proposition 26) without a two-thirds vote of the Legislature. The amendments to Article XIIIC
define “taxes” that are subject to voter approval as “any levy, charge, or exaction of any kind imposed by a local
government,” with certain exceptions.
Taxes. Article XIIIC requires that all new local taxes be submitted to the electorate before they become
effective. Taxes for general governmental purposes of the City (“general taxes”) require a majority vote; taxes
for specific purposes (“special taxes”), even if deposited in the City’s General Fund, require a two-thirds vote.
The voter approval requirements of Proposition 218 reduce the flexibility of the City to raise revenues for the
General Fund, and no assurance can be given that the City will be able to impose, extend or increase such taxes
in the future to meet increased expenditure needs.
Property-Related Fees, Charges and Assessments. Article XIIID also adds several provisions making it
generally more difficult for local agencies to levy and maintain property-related fees, charges, and assessments
for municipal services and programs. These provisions include, among other things, (i) a prohibition against
assessments which exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on a parcel, (ii) a
requirement that assessments must confer a “special benefit,” as defined in Article XIIID, over and above any
general benefits conferred, (iii) a majority protest procedure for assessments which involves the mailing of
notice and a ballot to the record owner of each affected parcel, a public hearing and the tabulation of ballots
weighted according to the proportional financial obligation of the affected party, and (iv) a prohibition against
fees and charges which are used for general governmental services, including police, fire or library services,
where the service is available to the public at large in substantially the same manner as it is to property owners.
Reduction or Repeal of Taxes, Fees and Charges. Article XIIIC also removes limitations on the
initiative power in matters of reducing or repealing local taxes, assessments, fees or charges. No assurance can
be given that the voters of the City will not, in the future, approve an initiative or initiatives which reduce or
repeal local taxes, assessments, fees or charges currently comprising a substantial part of the City’s General
Fund. If such repeal or reduction occurs, the City’s ability to pay debt service on the Bonds could be adversely
affected.
Burden of Proof. Article XIIIC provides that local government “bears the burden of proving by a
preponderance of the evidence that a levy, charge, or other exaction is not a tax, that the amount is no more than
necessary to cover the reasonable costs of the governmental activity, and that the manner in which those costs
are allocated to a payor bear a fair or reasonable relationship to the payor’s burdens on, or benefits received
21
from, the governmental activity.” Similarly, Article XIIID provides that in “any legal action contesting the
validity of a fee or charge, the burden shall be on the agency to demonstrate compliance” with Article XIIID.
Impact on City’s General Fund. The approval requirements of Articles XIIIC and XIIID reduce the
flexibility of the City to raise revenues for the General Fund, and no assurance can be given that the City will be
able to impose, extend or increase the taxes, fees, charges or taxes in the future that it may need to meet
increased expenditure needs.
The City does not believe that any material source of General Fund revenue is subject to challenge
under Articles XIIIC or XIIID.
Judicial Interpretation. The interpretation and application of Articles XIIIC and XIIID will ultimately be
determined by the courts with respect to a number of the matters discussed below, and it is not possible at this
time to predict with certainty the outcome of such determination.
Expenditures and Appropriations
Article XIIIB of the California Constitution. In addition to the limits Article XIIIA imposes on
property taxes that may be collected by local governments, certain other revenues of the State and local
governments are subject to an annual “appropriations limit” or “Gann Limit” imposed by Article XIIIB of the
State Constitution, which effectively limits the amount of such revenues that government entities are permitted
to spend. Article XIIIB, approved by the voters in June 1979, was modified substantially by Proposition 111 in
1990. The appropriations limit of each government entity applies to “proceeds of taxes,” which consist of tax
revenues, state subventions and certain other funds, including proceeds from regulatory licenses, user charges or
other fees to the extent that such proceeds exceed “the cost reasonably borne by such entity in providing the
regulation, product or service.” “Proceeds of taxes” exclude tax refunds and some benefit payments such as
unemployment insurance. No limit is imposed on the appropriation of funds that are not “proceeds of taxes,”
such as reasonable user charges or fees, and certain other non-tax funds.
Article XIIIB also does not limit appropriation of local revenues to pay debt service on bonds existing
or authorized by January 1, 1979, or subsequently authorized by the voters, appropriations required to comply
with mandates of courts or the federal government, appropriations for qualified capital outlay projects, and
appropriation by the State of revenues derived from any increase in gasoline taxes and motor vehicle weight fees
above January 1, 1990, levels. The appropriations limit may also be exceeded in cases of emergency; however,
the appropriations limit for the three years following such emergency appropriation must be reduced to the
extent by which it was exceeded, unless the emergency arises from civil disturbance or natural disaster declared
by the Governor, and the expenditure is approved by two-thirds of the legislative body of the local government.
The State and each local government entity each have their own appropriations limits. Each year, each
limit is adjusted to allow for changes, if any, in the cost of living, the population of the jurisdiction, and any
transfer to or from another government entity of financial responsibility for providing services.
Proposition 111 requires that each agency’s actual appropriations be tested against its limit every two
years. If the aggregate “proceeds of taxes” for the preceding two-year period exceed the aggregate limit, the
excess must be returned to the agency’s taxpayers through tax rate or fee reductions over the following two
years. If the State’s aggregate “proceeds of taxes” for the preceding two-year period exceeds the aggregate limit,
50% of the excess is transferred to fund the State’s contribution to school and college districts.
Voter Initiatives
Under the California Constitution, the power of initiative is reserved to the voters for the purpose of
enacting statutes and constitutional amendments. Since 1978, the voters have exercised this power through the
adoption of Proposition 13 and similar measures, the most recent of which was approved as Proposition 22 in
the general election held on November 2, 2010.
22
Any such initiative may affect the collection of fees, taxes and other types of revenue by local agencies.
Subject to overriding federal constitutional principles, such collection may be materially and adversely affected
by voter-approved initiatives, possibly to the extent of creating cash-flow problems in the payment of
outstanding obligations such as the Lease Payments.
Proposition 62. On November 4, 1986, California voters adopted Proposition 62, which requires that (i)
any local tax for general governmental purposes (a “general tax”) must be approved by a majority vote of the
electorate; (ii) any local tax for specific purposes (a “special tax”) must be approved by a two-thirds vote of the
electorate; (iii) any general tax must be proposed for a vote by two-thirds of the legislative body; and (iv)
proceeds of any tax imposed in violation of the vote requirements must be deducted from the local agency’s
property tax allocation.
Most of the provisions of Proposition 62, which was a statutory initiative, were affirmed by the 1995
California Supreme Court decision in Santa Clara County Local Transportation Authority v. Guardino, which
invalidated a special sales tax for transportation purposes because less than two-thirds of the voters voting on the
measure had approved the tax. Claims for taxpayer relief where a local entity may have violated Proposition 62
are subject to a three-year statute of limitations, created by statute. In the case Howard Jarvis Taxpayers
Association v. City of La Habra (2001), the California Supreme Court determined that this statute of limitations
begins to run anew every time the city collects the challenged tax.
Proposition 1A of 2004. Proposition 1A of 2004, proposed by the Legislature in connection with the
State’s Fiscal Year 2004-05 Budget, approved by the voters in November 2004 and generally effective in Fiscal
Year 2006-07, provided that the State may not reduce any local sales tax rate, limit existing local government
authority to levy a sales tax rate or change the allocation of local sales tax revenues, subject to certain
exceptions. Proposition 1A of 2004 generally prohibited the State from shifting to schools or community
colleges any share of property tax revenues allocated to local governments for any Fiscal Year , as set forth
under the laws in effect as of November 3, 2004. Any change in the allocation of property tax revenues among
local governments within a county had to be approved by two-thirds of both houses of the Legislature.
Proposition 1A of 2004 provided, however, that beginning in Fiscal Year 2008-09, the State may shift to
schools and community colleges up to 8% of local government property tax revenues, which amount must be
repaid, with interest, within three years, if the Governor proclaimed that the shift is needed due to a severe state
financial hardship, the shift was approved by two-thirds of both houses and certain other conditions were met.
The State could also approve voluntary exchanges of local sales tax and property tax revenues among local
governments within a county. Pending certain State actions, a Prop 1A shift could occur in State fiscal year in
future fiscal years.
See APPENDIX A – “CITY FINANCIAL, ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION –
State Budget and its Impact on the City” for information about the State’s budgets and shifts of local property
revenues under Proposition 1A of 2004 (which must be repaid within three years).
Proposition 22. Proposition 22, entitled “The Local Taxpayer, Public Safety and Transportation
Protection Act,” was approved by the voters of the State in November 2010.
Proposition 22 eliminates or reduces the State’s authority to (i) temporarily shift property taxes from
cities, counties and special districts to schools, (ii) use vehicle license fee revenues to reimburse local
governments for State-mandated costs (the State will have to use other revenues to reimburse local
governments), (iii) redirect property tax increment from redevelopment agencies to any other local government,
(iv) use State fuel tax revenues to pay debt service on State transportation bonds, or (v) borrow or change the
distribution of State fuel tax revenues.
23
Unitary Property
AB 454 (Chapter 921, Statutes of 1986) provides that revenues derived from most utility property
assessed by the State Board of Equalization (“Unitary Property”), commencing with the 1988-89 Fiscal Year,
are allocated as follows: (i) each jurisdiction will receive up to 102% of its prior year State-assessed revenue;
and (ii) if county-wide revenues generated from Unitary Property are less than the previous year’s revenues or
greater than 102% of the previous year’s revenues, each jurisdiction will share the burden of the shortfall or
benefit of the excess revenues by a specified formula. This provision applies to all Unitary Property except
railroads, whose valuation will continue to be allocated to individual tax rate areas.
The provisions of AB 454 do not constitute an elimination of the assessment of any State-assessed
properties nor a revision of the methods of assessing utilities by the State Board of Equalization. Generally, AB
454 allows valuation growth or decline of Unitary Property to be shared by all jurisdictions in a county.
Proposition 26
On November 2, 2010, voters in the State approved Proposition 26. Proposition 26 amends Article
XIIIC of the State Constitution to expand the definition of "tax" to include "any levy, charge, or exaction of any
kind imposed by a local government" except the following: (1) a charge imposed for a specific benefit conferred
or privilege granted directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed
the reasonable costs to the local government of conferring the benefit or granting the privilege; (2) a charge
imposed for a specific government service or product provided directly to the payor that is not provided to those
not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or
product; (3) a charge imposed for the reasonable regulatory costs to a local government for issuing licenses and
permits, performing investigations, inspections, and audits, enforcing agricultural marketing orders, and the
administrative enforcement and adjudication thereof; (4) a charge imposed for entrance to or use of local
government property, or the purchase, rental, or lease of local government property; (5) A fine, penalty, or other
monetary charge imposed by the judicial branch of government or a local government, as a result of a violation
of law; (6) a charge imposed as a condition of property development; and (7) assessments and property-related
fees imposed in accordance with the provisions of Article XIIID. Proposition 26 provides that the local
government bears the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a levy, charge, or other
exaction is not a tax, that the amount is no more than necessary to cover the reasonable costs of the
governmental activity, and that the manner in which those costs are allocated to a payor bear a fair or reasonable
relationship to the payor's burdens on, or benefits received from, the governmental activity. The City does not
believe that Proposition 26 will adversely affect its General Fund revenues.
Future Initiatives
Article XIIIA, Article XIIIB, Article XIIIC, Article XIIID, and Propositions 1A of 2004, 22, 26 and 62
were each adopted as measures that qualified for the ballot through California’s initiative process. From time to
time, other initiative measures could be adopted, further affecting the City or its revenues or the ability of the
City to expend revenues.
TAX MATTERS
In the opinion of Bond Counsel, based upon an analysis of existing laws, regulations, rulings and court
decisions, and assuming, among other matters, compliance with certain covenants, interest on the Bonds is
excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 (the “Code”). Bond Counsel is of the further opinion that interest on the Bonds is not a specific preference
item for purposes of the federal individual or corporate alternative minimum taxes, provided however, that for
the purpose of calculating federal corporate alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations (as defined for
federal income tax purposes), such interest is taken into account in determining certain income and earnings.
24
The Code imposes various restrictions, conditions and requirements relating to the exclusion from gross
income for federal income tax purposes of interest on obligations such as the Bonds. The Authority has
covenanted to comply with certain restrictions designed to insure that interest on the Bonds will not be included
in federal gross income. Failure to comply with these covenants may result in interest on the Bonds being
included in federal gross income, possibly from the date of original issuance of the Bonds. The opinion of Bond
Counsel assumes compliance with these covenants. Bond Counsel has not undertaken to determine (or to
inform any person) whether any actions taken (or not taken) or events occurring (or not occurring) after the date
of issuance of the Bonds may adversely affect the value of, or the tax status of interest on, the Bonds.
Current and future legislative proposals, if enacted into law, clarification of the Code or court decisions
may cause interest on the Bonds to be subject, directly or indirectly, to federal income taxation or to be subject
to or exempted from state income taxation, or otherwise prevent Bond Owners from realizing the full current
benefit of the tax status of such interest. For example, legislative proposals are made from time to time which
generally would limit the exclusion from gross income of interest on obligations like the Bonds to some extent
for taxpayers who are individuals and whose income is subject to higher marginal income tax rates. Other
proposals have been made that could significantly reduce the benefit of, or otherwise affect, the exclusion from
gross income of interest on obligations like the Bonds. The introduction or enactment of any such legislative
proposals, clarification of the Code or court decisions may also affect, perhaps significantly, the market price
for, or marketability of, the Bonds. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should consult their own tax advisors
regarding any pending or proposed federal or state tax legislation, regulations or litigation, and regarding the
impact of future legislation, regulations or litigation, as to which Bond Counsel expresses no opinion.
Certain requirements and procedures contained or referred to in the Indenture, the Tax Certificate, and
other relevant documents may be changed and certain actions (including, without limitation, defeasance of the
Bonds) may be taken or omitted under the circumstances and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
such documents. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion as to the exclusion from gross income of interest on any
Bond if any such change occurs or action is taken or omitted upon the advice or approval of counsel other than
Best Best & Krieger LLP.
In the further opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on the Bonds is exempt from California personal
income taxes.
The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has initiated an expanded program for the auditing of tax-
exempt bond issues, including both random and targeted audits. It is possible that the Bonds will be selected for
audit by the IRS. It is also possible that the market value of the Bonds might be affected as a result of such an
audit of the Bonds (or by an audit of other similar bonds).
Although Bond Counsel is of the opinion that interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for
federal income tax purposes and that interest on the Bonds is exempt from State of California personal income
taxes, the ownership or disposition of, or the accrual or receipt of interest on, the Bonds may otherwise affect a
Bond Owner’s federal or state tax liability. The nature and extent of these other tax consequences will depend
upon the particular tax status of the Bondholder or the Bond Owner’s other items of income or deduction, and
Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any such other tax consequences.
A copy of the proposed form of opinion of Bond Counsel is attached hereto as Appendix D.
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
The City has covenanted for the benefit of owners of the Bonds to provide certain financial information
and operating data relating to the City by not later than March 1 of each year commencing with the report for the
2016-17 fiscal year (the “Annual Report”) and to provide notices of the occurrence of certain enumerated
events. The Annual Report and the notices of enumerated events will be filed by the Dissemination Agent with
the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board’s Electronic Municipal Market Access system (“EMMA”) or any
successor assigned by the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board or Securities and Exchange Commission.
These covenants have been made in order to assist the Underwriter in complying with Rule 15c2-12
25
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Rule”). The specific nature of the
information to be contained in the Annual Report or the notices of enumerated events by the District is set forth
in APPENDIX E – “FORM OF CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT.”
During the last five years the City, the Encinitas Public Financing Authority (the “Financing
Authority”), the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority (the “JPA”), the San Dieguito Water District (the “District”)
the Encinitas Ranch Golf Authority (the “Golf Authority”) and the R.E. Badger Water Facilities Financing
Authority (the “R.E. Badger Authority”) failed to comply in certain respects with continuing disclosure
obligations related to outstanding bonded indebtedness. The failures to comply primarily include, but are not
limited to (i) failure to provide significant event notices with respect to changes in the ratings of outstanding
indebtedness, primarily related to changes in the ratings of various bond insurers insuring the indebtedness of
the City or its related entities; and (ii) incomplete, missing or late filing of annual reports with respect to certain
bond issues. The incomplete filings are described below in detail.
For its City of Encinitas 1997 Refunding Certificates of Participation, Series A (Civic Center Project),
the City filed past the filing deadline its annual report for Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2013 and its audited
financial statements for Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2013, and ratings event notices.
Ratings event notices were not filed timely for the Encinitas Public Financing Authority 2001 Lease
Revenue Bonds, Series A (Acquisition Project), the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority San Diego County,
California 2003 Refunding Revenue Bonds (San Elijo Wastewater Treatment Facilities), the San Dieguito Water
District (San Diego County, California) Water Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2004, the City of Encinitas
Community Facilities District No. 1 2004 Bonds, the Encinitas Public Financing Authority 2010 Lease Revenue
Bonds, Series A (Park Project) and the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority 2011 Refunding Revenue Bonds (San
Elijo Water Reclamation Facility).
For the R.E. Badger Water Facilities Financing Authority 2007 Water Revenue Refunding Bonds, the
R.E. Badger Authority (1) filed past the filing deadline the District’s annual reports for Fiscal Years ending June
30, 2011, 2012 and 2013, (2) filed past the filing deadline the District’s audited financial statements for Fiscal
Years ending June 30, 2012 and 2013, and (3) filed past the filing deadline ratings event notices.
For the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority 2011 Refunding Revenue Bonds (San Elijo Water Reclamation
Facility), the City filed past the filing deadline the City’s annual reports for Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2012.
In addition to the listed incomplete filings of annual disclosure reports, the City has outstanding
Assessment District No. 93-1 (Requeza Street/Bracero Road) Limited Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series A
and Subordinate Series B. The City has timely filed the annual reports for the Assessment District Bonds,
however the City has not included the City’s Audited Financial Statements with the annual reports.
In order to ensure ongoing compliance by the City, on behalf of itself and its related agencies, with the
continuing disclosure undertakings, (i) the City has instituted new procedures to ensure future compliance and
coordination by the City and its related agencies as part of its financial reporting policies; and (ii) the City has
contracted with a consultant to assist the City in filing accurate, complete and timely disclosure reports on behalf
of the City and its related agencies.
The City was advised by Southwest Securities, Inc. that the City was reported by Southwest Securities,
Inc. under the Municipalities Continuing Disclosure Cooperation (“MCDC”) initiative of the SEC. The
reporting relates to the Encinitas Public Financing Authority 2010 Lease Revenue Bonds (the “2010 Authority
Bonds”) and the statement in the official statement for the 2010 Authority Bonds that the City was in
compliance with all continuing disclosure requirements. MCDC was a program allowing issuers and
underwriters to voluntarily report non-compliance with disclosure obligations. The SEC has concluded its
MCDC review for such period and the City was not contacted in connection with such review.

completeness or fairness of the information contained in this Official Statement. The Municipal Advisor is an
independent advisory firm and is not engaged in the business of underwriting, trading, or distributing municipal

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The general purpose financial statements of the City for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2016, pertinent
sections of which are included in APPENDIX B to this Official Statement, have been audited by Pun Group

has not requested, and the auditor has not provided, any consent to the inclusion of its report herein or any
update or review of its report in connection with its inclusion in this Official Statement. See APPENDIX B

RATINGS
S&P Global Ratings, a business unit of Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”) has
assigned an uninsured rating of “AA+” to the Bonds. Such rating reflects only the views of S&P, and any
desired explanation of the significance of such ratings may be obtained from such rating agency at the following
address: S&P Global Ratings, 55 Water Street, New York, New York 10041, (212) 438-2000. Generally, a
rating agency bases its rating on the information and materials furnished to it and on investigations, studies and
assumptions of its own.
There is no assurance such ratings will continue for any given period of time or that such ratings will
not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by the rating agency, if in the judgment of such rating agency,
circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision or withdrawal of such ratings may have an adverse
effect on the market price of the Bonds. Except as otherwise required in the Continuing Disclosure Agreement,
the Authority undertakes no responsibility either to bring to the attention of the owners of any Bonds any
downward revision or withdrawal of any rating obtained or to oppose any such revision or withdrawal. A rating
is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time.
SALE OF THE BONDS
The Bonds were sold by competitive bid on February 7, 2017. The Bonds were awarded to Fidelity
Capital Markets (the “Underwriter”), who submitted the lowest true interest cost bid, at a purchase price of
27
$13,241,326.33. Under the terms of its bid, the Underwriter will be obligated to purchase all of the Bonds if any
are purchased, the obligation to make such purchase being subject to the approval of certain legal matters by
Bond Counsel, and certain other conditions to be satisfied by the Bonds.
The Underwriter has provided the reoffering prices or yields for the Bonds set forth on the inside cover
of this Official Statement, and the Authority and City undertake no responsibility for the accuracy of those
prices or yields. Based on the reoffering prices, the original issue premium on the reoffering of the Bonds is
$1,360,283.55 and the Underwriter’s gross compensation (or “spread”) is $73,957.22.

APPENDIX A
CITY FINANCIAL, ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
The information herein is subject to change without notice, and neither delivery of this Official
Statement nor any sale thereafter of the Bonds shall under any circumstances imply that there has not been any
change in the affairs of the City or in any other information contained herein since the date of the Official
Statement. The Bonds are payable solely from the sources described herein (see “SECURITY FOR THE
BONDS”). The taxing power of the City of Encinitas, the County of San Diego, the State of California or any
political subdivision thereof is not pledged to the payment of the Bonds. See the information under the caption
“THE BONDS.”
General
The City was incorporated in October 1986. The City’s incorporation involved a reorganization
consisting primarily of the incorporation of the City of Encinitas; the detachment of territory from the Cardiff
Sanitation District and annexation of the same territory to the Solana Beach Sanitation District; and the
establishment of the Encinitas Fire Protection District, the San Dieguito Water District (the “Water District”)
and the Encinitas Sanitation District as subsidiary districts of the City. Currently, all of the subsidiary districts,
excluding the Water District, have been absorbed by the City as separate accounting divisions.
The City is located in the northern coastal area of San Diego County (the “County”) overlooking the
Pacific Ocean. The City encompasses approximately 21.4 square miles and is located approximately 25 miles
north of the City of San Diego and immediately north of the City of Solana Beach. Topography of the
surrounding area varies from broad coastal plains to fertile inland valleys backed up by mountain ranges to the
east. The climate is equable in the coastal and valley regions.
The City maintains a website at www.encinitas.org. However, the information presented there is
not part of this Official Statement, is not incorporated by reference herein and should not be relied upon
in making an investment decision with respect to the Bonds.
City Government
The City is a general law city and operates under a council-manager form of government. The City
Council consists of four members elected at large, who also serve as the Board of Directors of the three
subsidiary districts of the City. Council members serve four-year terms, with elections every two years for
either two or three seats. The Mayor is elected city-wide for a two year term. The Mayor sits as a member of
the subsidiary districts of the City. The City Manager is appointed by the City Council and serves as the City
Council’s administrative head of the City. All other city employees are appointed by and are responsible to the
City Manager, except the City Attorney and the City Clerk, who are appointed by the City Council.
The City supplies portions of its residents with water and sewer service through its subsidiary districts.
The northern portion of the City is provided with sewer service by the independent Leucadia County
Wastewater District. The eastern half of the City receives potable water from the Olivenhain Municipal Water
District. Power is supplied by San Diego Gas and Electric, and telephone service by Pacific Bell. The City has
its own parks and community services departments, but contracts for police service from the County. The
current contract with the County for law enforcement services extends through the period July 1, 2012 to June
30, 2017.
Population
At incorporation in 1986, there were about 48,558 people in the City limits. As of January 1, 2016, the
California Department of Finance estimates that Encinitas has grown to a population of 61,928, and expects to
A-2
be built out according to general plan estimates at 73,600. Encinitas is a low density community consisting
predominately of single family homes.

Accounting Policies and Financial Reporting
The City’s accounting records are organized and operated on a “fund” basis, which is the basic fiscal
and accounting unit in governmental accounting. The operations of the different funds are accounted for with
separate sets of self-balancing accounts showing assets, liabilities, fund balance or equity, and revenues and
expenses. The basis of accounting for all funds is more fully explained in the “Notes to the City of Encinitas
General Purpose Financial Statements” contained in APPENDIX B hereto.
The City, all its funds and the Encinitas Public Financing Authority are audited annually by a certified
public accounting firm. The Pun Group LLP, San Diego, California, is the City’s current auditor. The audited
financial statements of the City for Fiscal Year 2015/16 are attached hereto as APPENDIX B. The auditor has
not been requested to review such audited financial statements prior to inclusion in this Official Statement.
Audited financial statements for prior fiscal years are available upon request from the Finance Department of the
City or on its website at www.cityofencinitas.org.
The City General Fund finances the legally authorized activities of the City not provided for in other
restricted funds. General fund revenues are derived from such sources as taxes; licenses and permits, fines,
forfeits and penalties; use of money and property; aid from other governmental agencies; charges for current
services; and other revenue. General Fund expenditures and encumbrances are classified by the functions of
general government, planning and building, public safety, public works, engineering and parks and recreation.
Amounts on deposit in the Bond Fund held by the Trustee are pledged to payment of Lease Payments and are
not available for other uses by the City.
State Budget and its Impact on the City
Set forth in the following paragraphs are descriptions of the State budget process, the current State
budget situation, and the potential impacts on the City.
State Budget Information
State Budgeting Process. According to the State Constitution, the Governor is required to propose a
budget to the State Legislature no later than January 10 of each year, and a final budget must be adopted by a
majority vote of each house of the State Legislature no later than June 15, although this deadline is routinely
breached. The budget becomes law upon the signature of the Governor, who may veto specific items of
expenditure. The following information concerning the State's budget for fiscal year 2016-17 has been obtained
from publicly available information that the City believes to be reliable; however, the City takes no
responsibility as to the accuracy or completeness thereof and has not independently verified such information.
A-4
Information about the State budget is regularly available at various State-maintained websites. Text of proposed
and adopted budgets may be found at the website of the State Department of Finance (the “DOF”),
http://www.dof.ca.gov, under the heading “California Budget.” An impartial analysis of the budget is posted by
the Legislative Analyst's Office (the “LAO”) at http://www.lao.ca.gov. In addition, various State official
statements, many of which contain a summary of the current and past State budgets and the impact of those
budgets on counties in the State, may be found at the website of the State Treasurer,
http://www.treasurer.ca.gov. The information referred to is prepared by the respective State agency maintaining
each website and not by the City, the Authority or the Underwriter, and the City, the Authority and the
Underwriter take no responsibility for the continued accuracy of these Internet addresses or for the accuracy,
completeness or timeliness of information posted there, and such information is not incorporated herein by these
references.
State Budget for Fiscal Year 2016-17
On June 27, 2016, the Governor signed into the law the State budget for fiscal year 2016-17 (the “2016-
17 Budget”). The following information is drawn from the Department of Finance's summary of the 2016-17
Budget and the LAO's preliminary review of the 2016-17 Budget.
The 2016-17 Budget projects, for fiscal year 2015-16, total general fund revenues and transfers of
$117.0 billion and total expenditures of $115.6 billion. The State is projected to end fiscal year 2015-16 with
total available reserves of $7.3 billion, including $3.9 billion in the traditional general fund reserve and $3.4
billion in the Budget Stabilization Account (the “BSA”), the State's basic reserve account. For fiscal year 2016-
17, the 2016-17 Budget projects a growth in State general fund revenues driven primarily by total general fund
revenues of $120.3 billion and authorizes expenditures of $122.5 billion. The State is projected to end the fiscal
year 2016-17 with total available reserves of $8.5 billion, including $1.8 billion in the traditional general fund
reserve and $6.7 billion in the BSA.
As a result of higher general fund revenue estimates for fiscal years 2015-16 and 2016-17, and after
accounting for expenditures that are controlled by State Constitutional funding requirements such as Proposition
2 and Proposition 98, the 2016-17 Budget allocates over $6 billion in discretionary funding for various purposes.
These include: (i) additional deposits of $2 billion to the BSA and $600 million to the State's discretionary
budget reserve fund; (ii) approximately $2.9 billion in one-time funding for infrastructure, affordable housing,
public safety and other purposes; and (iii) $700 million in on-going funding commitments for higher education
(the California State University and the University of California systems), corrections and rehabilitation and
State courts.
As required by Proposition 2, the 2016-17 Budget applies $1.3 billion towards the repayment of existing
State liabilities, including loans from special funds, State and University of California pension and retiree health
benefits and settle-up payments to K-14 school districts resulting from an underfunding of the Proposition 98
minimum funding guarantee in a prior fiscal year. With respect to education funding, the 2016-17 Budget sets
the Proposition 98 minimum funding guarantee at $71.9 billion, an increase of $2.8 billion over the revised level
from the prior fiscal year.
For additional information regarding the 2016-17 Budget, see the DOF website at www.dof.ca.gov and
the LAO's website at www.lao.ca.gov. The information presented on such websites is not incorporated herein by
reference.
Potential Impact of State Financial Condition on the City
The State experienced significant financial stress during the last economic recession, with budget
shortfalls in the several billions of dollars. There can be no assurance that, as a result of such State financial
stress, the State will not significantly reduce revenues to local governments (including the City) or shift financial
responsibility for programs to local governments as part of its efforts to address the State's financial difficulties.
A-5
Although the State is not a significant source of City revenues, no prediction can be made by the City as to what
measures the State will adopt to respond to the current or potential future financial difficulties. There can be no
assurance that State actions to respond to State financial difficulties will not adversely affect the financial
condition of the City.
Future State Budgets
No prediction can be made by the City as to whether the State will continue to encounter budgetary
problems in future fiscal years, and if it were to do so, it is not clear what measures would be taken by the State
to balance its budget, as required by law. In addition, the City cannot predict the final outcome of future State
budget negotiations, the impact that such budgets will have on City finances and operations or what actions will
be taken in the future by the State Legislature and the Governor to deal with changing State revenues and
expenditures. There can be no assurance that actions taken by the State to address its financial condition will not
materially adversely affect the financial condition of the City. Current and future State budgets will be affected
by national and State economic conditions and other factors, including the current economic downturn, over
which the City has no control.
Budgetary Process and Current Budget
The City develops a two-year operating budget for planning purposes and appropriates funds annually
for operations and to fund the capital improvement program prior to the start of each fiscal year. The Council
conducts a public hearing (workshop) prior to adopting the budget. Supplemental appropriations, where
required during the fiscal year, are also approved by the Council. The authority for budgetary control is at the
department level. A department head may transfer appropriations within the department. Expenditures may
exceed appropriations to the extent that departmental revenues are sufficient to offset the excess. Expenditures
in excess of departmental revenues must be approved by the Council. The Council, by the affirmative vote of
three members, may amend the budget to add or delete appropriations, transfer between appropriations within a
fund or change appropriations transfers between funds. An item of Required Supplementary Information,
pursuant to GASB 34, is a Budgetary Comparison Schedule of the Original Adopted Budget and the Final
Budget for the General Fund and all major Special Revenue Funds with explanations of the major changes.
That schedule is included in the financial report in APPENDIX B for Fiscal Year 2015/16.
A-6
Set forth in Table A-4 is the General Fund budget for Fiscal Year 2015/16 compared with actual results
and the adopted budget for Fiscal Year 2016/17. During the course of each Fiscal Year, the budget is amended
and revised as necessary by the City Council. The adopted budget for each fiscal year shown below is the final
adopted budget as adjusted by the City Council.

Historic General Fund Revenues
Taxes received by the City include property taxes, sales taxes, franchise fees, property transfer taxes and
transient occupancy taxes. Of such taxes, property taxes and sales taxes constitute the major sources of
revenues. See “CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY LIMITATIONS ON TAXES AND
APPROPRIATIONS – Voter Initiative,” – “Proposition 62” and – “Proposition 218” herein for a discussion of
certain general taxes imposed by the City that may be affected by initiatives approved by the California voters.
A significant revenue source of the City is State of California payments and other payments in-lieu of taxes.
The City receives a portion of Department of Motor Vehicles fees collected statewide. Payment of State
assistance depends on the adoption by the State of its budget, including the appropriations therein providing for
local assistance. These revenues are shown in the accompanying financial statements as “intergovernmental
revenues.”
The State 2004/05 budget included a permanent reduction of vehicle license rate from 2% to 0.65%.
Backfill dollars for this reduction have been eliminated and replaced with a like amount of property taxes
(property taxes in-lieu of VLF).

A-9
Property Taxes. Property tax receipts provide the largest tax revenue source of the City in each fiscal
year. Property in the State which is subject to ad valorem taxes is classified as “secured” or “unsecured.” The
secured classification includes property on which any property tax levied by a county becomes a lien on that
property. A tax levied on unsecured property does not become a lien against the taxed unsecured property, but
may become a lien on certain other property owned by the taxpayer. Every tax which becomes a lien on secured
property has priority over all other liens, arising pursuant to State law, on the secured property, regardless of the
time of the creation of other liens. The valuation of property is determined as of January 1 each year, and
installments of taxes levied upon secured property become delinquent on the following December 10th and
April 10th of the subsequent calendar year. Taxes on unsecured property are due July 1 and become delinquent
August 31.
Secured and unsecured properties are entered separately on the assessment roll maintained by the county
assessor. The method of collecting delinquent taxes is substantially different for the two classifications of
property. The exclusive means of forcing the payment of delinquent taxes with respect to property on the
secured roll is the sale of the property securing the taxes of the State for the amount of taxes that are delinquent.
The taxing authority has four methods of collecting unsecured personal property taxes: (1) filing a civil action
against the taxpayer; (2) filing a certificate in the office of the county clerk specifying certain facts in order to
obtain a judgment lien on certain property of the taxpayer; (3) filing a certificate of delinquency for recording in
the county recorder’s office in order to obtain a lien on certain property of the taxpayer; and (4) seizing and
selling personal property, improvements or possessory interests belonging or taxable to the assessee. The
County of San Diego has adopted a Teeter Plan with respect to property tax disbursements, however, the City
has elected not to participate.
A 10% penalty is added to delinquent taxes which have been levied with respect to property on the
secured roll. In addition, beginning on the July 1 following a delinquency, interest begins accruing at the rate of
1.5% per month on the amount delinquent. Such property may thereafter be redeemed by the payment of the
delinquent taxes and the 10% penalty, plus interest at the rate of 1.5% per month to the time of redemption. If
taxes are unpaid for a period of five years or more, the property is deeded to the State and then is subject to sale
by the county tax collector. A 10% penalty also applies to the delinquent taxes or property on the unsecured
roll, and further, an additional penalty of 1.5% per month accrues with respect to such taxes beginning on the
varying dates related to the tax billing date.
Legislation enacted in 1984 (Section 25 et seq. of the California Revenue and Taxation Code), provides
for the supplemental assignment and taxation of property as of the occurrence of a change in ownership or
completion of new construction. Previously, statutes enabled the assessment of such changes only as of the next
tax lien date following the change and thus delayed the realization of increased property taxes from the new
assessment for up to 14 months. Collection of taxes based on supplemental assessments occurs throughout the
year. Taxes due are prorated according to the amount of time remaining in the tax year, with the exception of
tax bills dated January 1 through May 31, which are calculated on the basis of the remainder of the current
Fiscal Year and the full 12 months of the next Fiscal Year.
For a number of years, the State Legislature has shifted property taxes from cities, counties and special
districts to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (“ERAF”). In Fiscal Years 1993 and 1994, in response
to serious budgetary shortfalls, the State Legislature and administration permanently redirected over $3 billion
of property taxes from cities, counties, and special districts to schools and community college districts pursuant
to ERAF shifts. The City last paid ERAF in 1995 and 1996, but was not required to pay any ERAF in later
years when it has been imposed on other agencies.
On November 2, 2004, State voters approved Proposition 1A, which amended the State Constitution to
significantly reduce the State’s authority over major local government revenue sources. Under Proposition 1A,
the State may not: (i) reduce local sales tax rates or alter the method of allocating the revenue generated by such
taxes; (ii) shift property taxes from local governments to schools or community colleges; (iii) change how
property tax revenues are shared among local governments without two-thirds approval of both houses of the
A-10
State Legislature; or (iv) decrease Vehicle License Fee revenues without providing local governments with
equal replacement funding. See, “CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY LIMITATIONS ON TAXES
AND APPROPRIATIONS – Voter Initiatives.” Beginning in Fiscal Year 2009, the State may shift to schools
and community colleges a limited amount of local government property tax revenue if certain conditions are
met, including: (a) a proclamation by the Governor that the shift is needed due to a severe financial hardship of
the State; and (b) approval of the shift by the State Legislature with a two-thirds vote of both houses. Under
such a shift, the State must repay local governments for their property tax losses, with interest, within three
years. Proposition 1A does allow the State to approve voluntary exchanges of local sales tax and property tax
revenues among local governments within a county.
Sales and Use Tax. The sales tax is an excise tax imposed on retailers for the privilege of selling or
leasing tangible personal property. The use tax is an excise tax imposed for the storage, use, or other
consumption of tangible personal property purchased from any retailer. The total sales tax rate within the City is
currently 8.00%.
The California State Board of Equalization administers collection of the sales and use tax. Under its
procedures, the State Board of Equalization projects receipts of the sales and use tax on a quarterly basis and
remits an advance of the receipts of the sales and use tax to the City on a monthly basis. The amount of each
monthly advance is based upon the State Board of Equalization’s quarterly projection. During the last month of
each quarter, the State Board of Equalization adjusts the amount remitted to reflect the actual receipts of the
sales and use tax for the previous quarter. The Board of Equalization receives an administrative fee based on the
cost of services provided by the Board to the City in administering the City’s sales tax, which is deducted from
revenue generated by the sales and use tax before it is distributed to the City.
Factors that have historically affected sales tax revenues include the overall economic growth of the San
Diego County Area, competition from neighboring cities, the growth of specific industries within the City, the
City’s business attraction and retention efforts, and catalog and Internet sales.
Other Taxes and Fees
Franchise Fees. The City levies a franchise fee on its cable television, trash collection and utility
franchises.
Transient Occupancy Taxes. The City levies a 10%, voter-approved transient occupancy tax on hotel
and motel bills, and short-term residential vacation rentals.
Property Transfer Taxes. A documentary stamp tax is assessed by the County and remitted to the City
for recordation of real property transfers.
Documentary Transfer Tax. The County imposes a $1.10 per $1,000 of value of any documented sale
or transfer of real property within the City. The tax is due when the transfer is recorded with the County. Title
companies collect the tax as part of the sale closing process and remit the funds to the County when sales or
transfers are finalized. The County remits the amounts due monthly, and the amounts are credited to the general
fund.
City Investment Policy
The City may invest public funds until such time as the funds are needed to pay the obligations of the
City. The City maintains an Investment Policy which sets forth guidelines of the City Treasurer’s investment of
such funds. The Treasurer is a trustee and therefore a fiduciary subject to the prudent investor standards, and the
primary objective shall be to safeguard the principal of the funds under its control. The secondary objective
shall be to meet liquidity needs, and the third objective shall be to achieve a market rate of return.
A-11
The City matches its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. Pursuant to the California
Government Code, maximum maturities shall not exceed five (5) years, without specific approval of the City
Council. The City’s investment policy limits the investment of the City’s funds by specifying term,
diversification and credit quality. The requirements of the City’s policy regarding these investments are either
the same as or more restrictive than the requirements of State law. The City has elected not to permit other
types of investments which are permitted by State law.
The City’s investment portfolio had a market value as of September 30, 2016 of approximately $90
million. The following table presents a breakdown of the City’s investment portfolio by type of security as of
that date.

Risk Management
The City is self-insured for liability claims and losses up to $500,000 per occurrence, and is covered for
covered losses between $125,000 and $2,500,000 by the San Diego Pooled Insurance Program Authority
(“SANDPIPA”) reserve pool. The members share the risk of claims in excess of reserves. Excess liability
insurance coverage is provided for losses between $2,500,000 and $47,000,000 via third-party insurers, and
losses in excess of $47,000,000 are not covered and are the responsibility of the City. The City is self-insured
for workers compensation claims and losses up to $500,000 per occurrence. The City is covered for claims
between $500,000 and $2,500,000 as a member of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority LACWX.
CSAC, EIA also provides excess workers compensation and commercial coverage between $2,500,000 and
$47,000,000 through reinsurance arrangements. The City has stated that settled claims have not exceeded
commercial coverage in any of the past three fiscal years.
The claims liability of $1,589,220 (for both workers compensation and liability) as of June 30, 2016 is
based on the requirements of GASB Statement No. 30, which requires that a liability for claims be reported if
information prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability has been
incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
Retirement Program
The City has entered into a total of three (3) separate defined benefit pension plans covering
miscellaneous and safety employees. As of June 30, 2016, the City Fire Safety Plan and the City Lifeguard Plan
were placed into cost sharing pools. The City’s Miscellaneous plan provides retirement and disability benefits,
annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. The Plans are part of
the Public Agency portion of the California Public Employees Retirement System (“PERS”), a multiple-
employer public employee retirement system that acts as a common investment and administrative agent for
participating public entities within the State of California. A menu of benefit provisions as well as other
A-12
requirements are established by State statutes within the Public Employees’ Retirement Law. The City selects
optional benefit provisions from the benefit menu by contract with PERS and adopts those benefits through local
ordinance. PERS issues a separate comprehensive annual financial report. Copies of the PERS annual financial
report may be obtained from the PERS Executive Office, Lincoln Plaza North, 400 Q Street, Sacramento, CA
95811.
The three City plans are as follows:
(1) The Miscellaneous Plan of the City of Encinitas (Miscellaneous Plan)
(2) The Safety Fire Department Plan of the City of Encinitas (Fire Plan)
(3) The Safety Lifeguard Plan of the City of Encinitas (Lifeguard Plan)
The City’s Miscellaneous Plan is an agent multiple-employer Plan that is part of the Public Agency's
portion of PERS. The Fire and Lifeguard Plans are cost-sharing multiple employer defined benefit plans in
which the City participates with other public agencies that each have less than 100 active members and share the
same benefit formula.
The Miscellaneous Plan provides employees hired before October 13, 2012 with a Tier 1 benefit equal
to 2.7% @ 55 years of age, calculated based on the single highest year of qualifying compensation. As of
October 13, 2012, the City Council imposed new terms and conditions on the miscellaneous employees which
created a new benefit formula for employees hired after the effective date of the change (the “Tier 2
miscellaneous plan”). Employees hired under the Tier 2 miscellaneous plan receive a lower benefit formula,
referred to as the 2% at 60 formula. In addition, legislation enacted by the State of California applying to all
local units of government, referred to as the Public Employees' Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) which became
effective on January 1, 2013, created yet another benefit formula for new hires with no experience or prior
service credit with PERS. In the case of the City, this will constitute a “Tier 3 miscellaneous plan” which
provides a retirement benefit, referred to as the 2% @ 62 formula. The actual retirement benefit for Tier 2 and
Tier 3 miscellaneous employees will be calculated using the average of the highest 36 consecutive months of
qualifying compensation.
The Safety Fire Department Plan provides employees hired before June 23, 2012 with a Tier 1 benefit
equal to 3.0% @ 55 years of age, calculated based on the single highest year of qualifying compensation.
Effective June 23, 2012, the Encinitas Firefighters Association executed a new four year Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with the City that provides for modifications to the pension benefit formula for
employees hired on or after the effective date (the “Tier 2 fire safety plan”). The 3.0% @ 55 formula is
maintained, but the actual retirement benefit will be calculated using the average of the highest 36 consecutive
months of qualifying compensation. In addition, the PEPRA legislation, created yet another benefit formula for
new hires with no experience or prior service credit with PERS. In the case of the City, this will constitute a
“Tier 3 fire safety plan” which provides a retirement benefit, referred to as the 2.7% @ 57 formula. This plan
also utilizes the mandated method of calculation based on the average of the highest 36 consecutive months of
qualifying compensation.
The Safety Lifeguard Plan provides employees hired before October 13, 2012 with a Tier 1 benefit
equal to 3.0% @ 55 years of age, calculated based on the single highest year of qualifying compensation. The
lifeguards have Tier II and Tier III plans which are identical to the Fire Safety Plan described above.
Funding Policy:
Employee Contributions:
Active Tier 1 miscellaneous members are required to contribute 8% of their annual covered salary (the
“employee contribution”). Effective October 13, 2012, all Tier 1 miscellaneous members contribute the full 8%,
which is credited to their individual accounts. Members receiving the Tier 2 or Tier 3 benefits are required to
A-13
contribute 7% of their annual covered salary. Safety lifeguard members are also now required to contribute the
full 9% of their annual covered salary as their employee contribution. Fire safety members are now required to
contribute the full required 9%. The employee contribution requirements are established by State statute.
Employer Contributions:
The City is required to contribute the actuarially determined remaining amounts necessary to fund the
benefits for its members (the “employer contributions”). The employer contribution rate for fiscal year 2015-
2016 was 20.676% for miscellaneous members. With respect to miscellaneous members, the rates are blended
to cover Tiers I, II, and III. The employer contribution rates are calculated and established annually by PERS,
based on the actuarial methods and assumptions as adopted by the PERS Board of Administration.
Annual Pension Costs:
The annual pension cost (APC), which is equivalent to the actual annual required employer
contributions made to PERS, is based on the actuarially determined rates in effect for that fiscal year. These
amounts do not include any payments made by the City on behalf of the employees for employee contributions.
A summary of the annual pension costs and the percentage of the required APC contributed for the last
three fiscal years is presented below:

The actuarial assumptions in the June 30, 2013 actuarial valuation for the City's Miscellaneous Plan,
which was used to determine the fiscal year 2016 annual required contribution, included (1) 7.50% investment
rate of return (net of administrative expenses), which was changed to 7.65% as of June 30, 2015, (b) projected
salary increases that vary by duration of service ranging from 3.30% to 14.20, and (c) a 3% growth in payroll.
Both (a) and (b) included an inflation component of 2.75%.
The actuarial assumptions in the June 30, 2014 actuarial valuation for the City's Miscellaneous Plan
included (1) 7.50% investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses), which was changed to 7.65% as
of June 30, 2015, (b) projected salary increases that vary by duration of service ranging from 3.30% to 14.20%,
and (c) a 3% growth in payroll. Both (a) and (b) included an inflation component of 2.75%.
The actuarial value of the Miscellaneous Plan assets was determined using techniques that smooth the effects of
short-term volatility in the market value of investments over a fifteen-year period (smoothed market value).
PERS' unfunded actuarial accrued liabilities (or excess assets) are being amortized as a level percentage of
projected payroll on a closed basis, depending on the size of investment gains and/or losses.
A-14
As of June 30, 2016, the unfunded actuarial accrued liability of the City is approximately $9.1 million.
Post-Retirement Health Benefits
The City provides postretirement health care benefits through the PERS healthcare program (PEMHCA)
to eligible employees who retire directly from the City. The City pays the cost for lifetime retiree and dependent
medical benefits (average premium for PERS health plans available in San Diego County) for fire department
employees hired before March 16, 1995. Other City retirees receive the PEMHCA minimum benefit, as
determined by PERS. The City does not provide a retiree contribution for dental, vision, or life insurance
benefits. The City’s OPEB plan does not issue a separate stand-alone report.
The City has elected to join the California Employers’ Retiree Benefit Trust (the “Trust”) in accordance
with GASB Statement No. 45, which provides a means to fund the annual OPEB costs, referred to as the Annual
Required Contribution (ARC). The City makes an annual contribution to the Trust, pays benefits either directly
to retirees or through PEMHCA during the year, and then seeks reimbursement for these “pay-as-you-go
expenses” from the Trust.
The actual contributions of the City to the Trust were established by City Council action. The
contribution requirements are established via an actuarial valuation of the City’s Retiree Healthcare Plan as of
June 30, 2013, performed in conformance with the requirements of GASB Statement No. 45. The required
contribution is measured on an accrual basis rather than on a pay-as-you-go basis. The actuarial cost method
used to determine the benefit obligations is the entry-age cost method. The valuation is determined using a
discount rate of 7.61%, which is the discount rate established for the Trust by PERS. Other key assumptions
include: (1) health care cost trend rate of 5.0% to 7.5% depending on type of plan and (2) an average retirement
age of 60. The unfunded actuarial accrued liability is being amortized over a closed thirty-year period.
The Annual Required Contribution (“ARC”) for fiscal year 2015/16 of $560,000 represents a level of
funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal costs each year and to amortize any
unfunded actuarial liability over a maximum of 30 years. The City contributed its ARC of $560,000 to the Trust,
and received reimbursement for actual pay-as-you-expenses incurred during the year. The ARC for 2016/17 is
$930,500.
The City’s annual OPEB costs, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan, and the net
OPEB obligation as of and for the year ended June 30, 2016 and the preceding two years were as follows:

Set forth in Table A-12 are property tax collections and delinquencies in the City as of June 30 for
Fiscal Years 2007 through 2016. The County of San Diego (the “County”) operates under a statutory program
entitled the Alternate Method of Distribution of Tax Levies and Collections and of Tax Sale Proceeds (the
“Teeter Plan”). Under the Teeter Plan local taxing entities receive 100% of their tax levies net of delinquencies,
but do not receive interest or penalties on delinquent taxes collected by the County. The City elected not to
enroll in the Teeter Plan; accordingly, the City’s receipt of its property tax revenues is impacted by
delinquencies in payment, as well as by the collection of interest and penalties on past delinquencies.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2016
8
The Fund Financial Statements include statements for each of the three categories of activities:
Governmental, Business-Type (proprietary) and Fiduciary. The Governmental activities (other
than internal service activities) are prepared using the current financial resources measurement
focus and modified accrual basis of accounting. The Business-Type activities are prepared
using the economic resources management focus and the accrual basis of accounting. The
Fiduciary activities include agency funds that only report a balance sheet and do not have a
measurement focus. Reconciliations of the Fund Financial Statements to the Government-Wide
Financial Statements are included in order to explain the differences created by the integrated
approach (please see pages 34 and 36).
Reporting the City as a Whole
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities
The Government-Wide Financial Statements consist of two financial statements. The
Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Position,
report information about the City as a whole and its activities. These statements include all
assets and liabilities of the City using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the
accounting used by most private-sector companies. Revenues and expenses for the current
fiscal year are accounted for, regardless of when cash is received or paid. One of the most
important questions asked about the City’s finances is “Are the City’s finances better or
worse off as a result of this year’s activities?” These statements can help answer this
question and provides an analysis of the City’s financial position.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City’s assets, deferred
outflows-inflows and liabilities, with the difference between the four reported as Net Position,
which is one way to measure the City’s financial health. Over time, increases or decreases
in the City’s Net Position is one indicator of whether its financial health is improving or
deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the City’s Net Position
changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in Net Position are reported as soon
as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related
cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that
will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (i.e. uncollected taxes and earned but
unused vacation leave).
In both the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net
Position, the City activities are separated as follows:
Governmental activities - Most of the City’s basic services are reported in this category,
including General Government, Public Safety, Public Works, Building and Planning,
Engineering Services, and Parks and Recreation. Property and sales taxes, user fees,
franchise fees, investment earnings and state and federal grants finance these activities.
Business-Type activities – The City charges a fee to customers to cover all or most of the
cost of certain services it provides. These activities include the water and wastewater
operations and a portion of the City’s affordable housing program.

Reporting the City’s Most Significant Funds
Fund Financial Statements – The City’s Fund Financial Statements provide a greater level
of detail regarding the City’s Governmental Activities, which include the General fund, Capital
Improvements, and other Nonmajor Governmental funds. The City reports the General fund
and the Capital Improvements fund as major funds, under the guidance provided by GASB
No. 34. All other governmental funds are considered Nonmajor funds, and are reported as
one group. The General Fund is the largest and most discretionary source of funding for
operations, debt service and capital improvements, via both direct expenditures and transfers
to other City funds. The Capital Improvements Capital Projects Fund accounts for all
governmentally funded capital improvements, as well as a number of work projects such as
long-term consultant studies. All of these expenses appear as capital outlay expenditures.
Capital spending totaled $10.8 million this fiscal year, a decrease of approximately $7.6
million from the prior year. Further discussion of the City’s capital program is included in the
section below entitled CAPITAL ASSETS AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. The
other Nonmajor Governmental Funds are primarily Special Revenue funds, where monies
are collected and held, but are restricted to the specific purpose for which they are collected.
The City’s Debt Service funds are included in this group. Discussion of the City’s debt service
program is included in the section below entitled DEBT ISSUANCE AND ADMINISTRATION.
The City’s Major Funds include: Type of Activity
General Fund Governmental Activities
Capital Improvements Capital Projects Fund Governmental Activities
City’s Water and Wastewater Enterprises Business-Type Activities
o San Dieguito Water District
o Cardiff Sanitary Division
o Encinitas Sanitary Division
Governmental funds – Most of the City’s basic services are reported in Governmental
Funds, which focus on how money flows into and out of those funds and the balances left at
year-end that are available for spending. These funds are reported by using an accounting
method called modified accrual accounting, which measures cash and all other financial
assets that can readily be converted to cash. The Governmental fund statements provide a
detailed short-term view of the City’s general governmental operations and the basic services
it provides. Governmental fund information helps determine whether there are more or fewer
financial resources that can be used in the near future to finance the City’s programs.
Proprietary funds - When the City charges customers for the services it provides (whether
to outside customers or to other units of the City), these services are generally reported in
proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are reported in the same manner as the governmental
activities are reported in Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities and
Changes in Net Position. The City’s enterprise funds (one component of the proprietary
funds) are the same as the business-type activities reported in the government-wide financial
statements, but provide more detail and additional information such as cash flows for
proprietary funds. Internal service funds (the other component of the proprietary funds) report
activities that provide supplies and services to other City’s programs and activities. The
Internal Service funds are reported with Governmental activities in the Government-Wide
financial statements.

Fiduciary funds – The City is the trustee, or fiduciary, for certain funds held on behalf of the
Community Facilities District No. 1 (the Encinitas Ranch Development) and Requeza Street
Assessment District No. 93-1. The City’s fiduciary activities are reported in a separate
Statement of Fiduciary Net Position and Liabilities. We exclude these activities from the
City’s other financial statements because the City cannot use these assets to finance its
operations. The City is responsible for ensuring that the assets reported in these funds are
used for their intended purposes.
Net Position – The City of Encinitas’ combined Net Position (i.e. inclusive of all City funds)
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 are compared to results for 2015 in Table 1.

Net Position represents the most simple test of financial health for the City, indicating the
excess (or deficit) of assets and deferred outflows of resources over liabilities. Net Position
for the City as a whole increased 3.9% from $300.9 million at June 30, 2015, to $312.7
million at June 30, 2016.
The overall increase in total assets is $7.5 million. The Governmental activities total
assets increased $4.5 million with a slight decrease in cash/investments, an increase in
receivables and inventory as well as a decrease in capital assets. The Business-Type
activities total assets increased $3.0 million with increases in both investment in joint
ventures and capital assets. In summary, the Governmental increase of $4.5 million
plus the Business-Type increase of $3.0 million results in an overall increase to the
City’s total assets of $7.5 million.
The overall increase in total liabilities is $1.9 million. This is the net change attributable
to $4.2 million increase in the long-term liabilities and $2.3 million decrease in other
liabilities in the Governmental and Business activities (accounts payable, deposits, and
unearned revenue). $4.0 million of the overall increase in long-term liabilities is the
result of an increase in net pension liabilities (governmental activities total $ 2.8 million
and business-type activities total $1.2 million).
The increase of total assets of $7.5 million along with an increase of Total Liabilities of
$1.9 million and a decrease in Deferred Inflows of $6.2 million has increased the City’s
Total Net Position by $11.8 million or approximately 3.9% increase from 2015.

Business-Type Activities for the City of Encinitas include water and wastewater operations
and a portion of the City’s affordable housing program. These activities increased Net
Position (including transfers) by $3.8 million from the last fiscal year as noted in in Table 2.
Overall revenues decreased $0.9 million while overall expenses decreased $2.6 million from
2015. Net transfers (an increase to Net Position) increase $0.4 million from the prior year.
The Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position for proprietary funds
indicate a decrease of $1.3 million in operating revenues from the previous year. The Water
operating revenue decreased $0.1 million while Wastewater and Affordable Housing
revenues increased $1.4 million. Operating expenses decreased $2.7 million. The primary
reason for the decrease in operating revenue and expenses in 2016 is attributable to the
recreation program funds being transferred back to the General Fund and are now reported
in the Governmental activities starting 2016.
Overall, operating revenue exceeded operating expenses (before transfers) in 2016 resulting
in a total net operating income of $1.3 million.
Chart 3 below compares program revenue from Business-Type activities to program
expenses. Water and wastewater operations operated at a surplus, as referenced in the
Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Position (with transfers-out for $462,721
appearing “below the line” of program expenses).

General Fund
GeneralFundBudgetaryHighlights
General Fund Revenues $2.0 million above projections
Property taxes made up 60% of the general fund revenue budget. The City of Encinitas receives
approximately 24 cents of each dollar of property tax revenue generated in the City. Current
secured property taxes, along with other property tax categories, exceeded projections by
$530,243, a 7.1% increase over 2015. Documentary transfer tax exceeded projections by
$137,189. Sales tax is the City’s second largest revenue source and actual revenue received
exceeded projections by $381,583, a 12.6% increase over 2015. 80% of the City’s Transient
Occupancy Tax (TOT) is deposited to the General Fund and 20% is deposited to the Coastal
Zone Management Fund for sand replenishment. TOT revenue exceeded projections by
$114,172, an increase of 10.4% from 2015. Overall, franchise taxes exceeded projections by
$161,567. Licenses and permits were lower than projections by $17,773 mainly due to a
decrease in business registration renewals and short-term vacation permits. Intergovernmental
revenue was lower than projected by $185,068, primarily due to revenue not yet received from
agencies participating in the Carlsbad Watershed Management Area Cost Sharing Agreement.
Planning and building fees were lower than projections, while Engineering, Fire and Recreation
fees exceeded projections so overall Charges for Services revenue exceeded projections by
$201,892. Fines and Penalties, which include vehicle code and red light violations, exceeded
projections by $154,638. Use of money and property include investment earnings which
exceeded projections by $211,577 and income from City property rentals that exceeded
projections by $169,539, an increase of 59.7%. This was primarily due to an additional lease
agreement for a cell tower at Fire Station 3. Other general fund revenues overall exceeded
projections by $183,593, primarily due to an increase in cost recovery revenue received.
General Fund Expenditures $2.4 million under budget
All general fund functional areas, including general government/administration, experienced
savings in the current fiscal year, with total savings (budget vs. actual) of over $2.4 million. This
represents savings of approximately 4.2%. Actual general fund expenditures were $54.9 million
compared to prior year actuals of $52.1 million.
Excess of Revenues over Expenditures $4.4 million above projections
Actual revenues over expenditures were approximately $13.8 million, compared to a budget of
$9.4 million. NOTE: This does not take into account the Other Financing Sources (Uses)
discussed below. This result is a combination of revenues being above projections and
expenditures being under budget, as discussed above.
Other Financing Sources and Uses – General Fund
Other Financing Sources and Uses consisted of Transfers-in and Transfers-(out) this fiscal year.
City of Encinitas
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2016

Scheduled transfers-in included: (a) monies from the Gasoline Taxes special revenue fund,
which fund a portion of the City’s street maintenance program, and (b) monies for impact fees
collected for community facilities and fire mitigation. The impact fees are transferred at year-
end to reimburse the General Fund for amounts expended in prior years for the Public Library
and Fire Station Rehabilitation projects. Transfers in for operating were lower than budgeted by
$35,591 primarily due to the Gasoline Taxes received were lower than budgeted.
Transfers out to internal service funds includes the General Fund’s contribution to the Self-
Insurance fund. The contribution was set and funded at approximately $900,000.
Appropriations for capital projects from the general fund totaled $16.0 million in 2016.
Transfers-(out) for debt service totaled $5.0 million, which was the same as the $5.0 million
budgeted
Analysis of Fund Balance and Changes in Fund Balance
Fund balance projected to be $28.5 million as of June 30, 2016, a scheduled decrease of about
$12.9 million. Actual fund balance was $32.9 million, or $4.4 million higher than projected.
There was an excess of revenues over expenditures of 13.8 million. Factoring in transfers for
debt service payments of $5.0, capital expenditures of $16.1 and other transfer activity of $1.2
million, the net result is a decrease in total fund balance of $8.5 million at year-end.
CAPITAL ASSETS AND THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
As of June 30, 2016, the City had approximately $393.4 million invested in a broad range of
capital assets including road and drainage systems, parks and beach facilities, public buildings,
water and wastewater treatment facilities, collection and distribution systems and affordable
housing stock. Of that amount, $298.9 million is classified as capital assets under the category
of Governmental Activities, and $94.5 million is classified as capital assets of Business-Type
Activities. In addition, there are $42.2 million of assets under Business-Type Activities classified
as Investment in Joint Ventures. This investment consists mainly of capital assets belonging to
related governmental agencies where the City holds an equity interest in the joint venture. The
assets are principally water and wastewater treatment facilities.
City of Encinitas
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2016

Governmental Activities $298.9 million
The City has two Capital Projects Improvement Funds for the capital improvements for
governmental activities. These include public facilities, acquisition of parkland and park
improvements, infrastructure, and certain City “work projects” such as multi-year consultant
studies that meet the criteria for inclusion as capital projects for budgeting purposes. The City
uses a dollar threshold of $100,000 and a useful life of five years or more in its evaluation for
capitalizing a capital expenditure. Eligible project costs are additions to construction in progress
(CIP) at fiscal year-end. Costs for completed projects are recorded as additions to the
appropriate capital asset category at year-end. .
The City spent approximately $10.8 million this fiscal year on capital improvement projects.
These capital expenditures consisted of a variety of different projects that were either in
development or construction phase. The primary emphasis this fiscal year was on the North
Coast Highway 101 Streetscape, Santa Fe Drive Improvements, Devonshire Drive Traffic
Calming, Civic Center Improvements, El Camino Real Channel Storm Drain Repair, Highway
101 Emergency Repair, and on-going pavement overlay project.
Business-Type Activities
Capital Assets: $94.5 million
The City accounts for the acquisition and construction of capital assets for its Water and
Wastewater operations under its Proprietary-Type funds and as enterprise activities. Capital
spending is recorded as expenses in the appropriate capital fund under each separate activity
during the fiscal year. At the end of the fiscal year, the expenses are analyzed to determine if
they meet the criteria to be capitalized as long-term fixed assets. The criteria are the same as
the City criteria ($100,000 threshold and a minimum five-year life.) Eligible capital expenses are
then capitalized to the construction-in-progress account(s), while non-eligible expenses are
reclassified as operating expenses. Total amounts expended on completed projects are then
transferred to the appropriate capital asset class.
The City’s affordable housing fund carries its investment of about $4 million in affordable
housing stock under the classification of utility, plant, vehicles and equipment. There has not
been any capital spending activity in this fund since its original purchase of 16 housing units in
2004.
Investment in Joint Ventures: $42.2 million
The City’s water and wastewater enterprises each hold equity interests in joint ventures with
other local agencies.
SDWD holds an equity interest, along with Santa Fe Irrigation District, in the R.E. Badger Joint
Facilities. SDWD makes capital contributions each year for the replacement and improvement
of the Joint Facilities, which then gets added to the Investment account at the end of the fiscal
year. SDWD also makes monthly payments to cover its ratable share of annual operating costs.
City of Encinitas
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2016

SDWD also holds an equity interest in the R.E. Badger Water Facilities Financing Authority.
The primary content of this investment consists of a ratable share of certain debt service
reserve fund assets and capitalized financing costs. Therefore, these resources are not
available to SDWD for the funding of its operations.
Cardiff Sanitary Division (CSD) holds an equity interest, along with the City of Solana Beach, in
the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority Joint Facilities. CSD makes capital contributions each year
for the replacement and improvement of the Joint Facilities, which gets added to its Investment
account at the end of the fiscal year. CSD also makes quarterly payments to cover its ratable
share of annual operating costs. The treatment facilities, also serving other local agencies, bill
quarterly for their ratable share of operations costs and capital improvements.
Encinitas Sanitary Division (ESD) holds an equity interest, along with five other local agencies,
in the Encina Wastewater Authority Joint Facilities. ESD makes capital contributions each year
for the replacement and improvement of the Joint Facilities. These capital contributions are
additions to the Investment account at the end of the fiscal year. The Division also makes
quarterly payments to cover its ratable share of annual operating costs.
DEBT ISSUANCE AND ADMINISTRATION
The City has a total of $73.0 million of long-term debt for both Governmental and Business-type
activities as shown in Note 9 – Long-Term Obligations schedule on page 75 of this report. The
Governmental Activities debt totaling $58.7 million include $2.0 million in capital leases, $53.0
million in bonded debt and $3.7 million in claims payable and compensated absences. The
capital leases consist of the Civic Center Roof Replacement and fire apparatus vehicles. The
Business-type Activities debt totals $14.3 million and includes $14.1 million in bonded debt and
$0.2 million in compensated absences. $8.7 million of the total $73.0 million is due within one
year.
Governmental Activities $58.7 million
The majority of the City’s long-term debt is bonded debt issued in order to acquire and/or
construct public facilities including City Hall, the Public Library, the Encinitas Community Park
and the Pacific View land acquisition. On September 23, 2015, the Encinitas Public Financing
Authority (on behalf of the City) refunded its 2006 Public Library bonds with the principal
balance of $16,975,000 with the 2015 Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds for $15,645,000. The
issuance of the new debt and refunding of the old debt resulted in an economic gain of
approximately $3.2 million and the final maturity is the same. Debt payments for all of these
bonds are due semi-annually at fixed amounts, and the debt matures at various times through
2036. Annual debt service averages approximately $1.1 million.
The City has a policy of utilizing lease/purchase financing for the acquisition of equipment
costing more than $100,000. The City is obligated under a lease/purchase agreement (a private
placement with a financial institution) for improvements made to City Hall in 2008. Annual
payments on that lease are $180,000. The City’s total annual debt service of approximately
$4.8 million represents approximately 7.0% of annual general fund operating revenues. The
City currently leases three Fire Engines and the average annual leases are $325,000.
City of Encinitas
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2016
19
Business-Type Activities $14.3 million
SDWD and CSD carry long-term debt issued to construct capital improvements to both their distribution and
collection systems and their Joint Facilities. The Encinitas Housing Authority has a mortgage loan with a
financial institution that partially funded the acquisition of the City’s affordable housing units (Pacific Pines).
The City is not obligated in any way for repayment of these debt issues.
General Information on City debt
The City of Encinitas obtained and affirmed in 2015 an upgrade to its issuer credit rating to AAA by
Standard & Poor’s (S & P). The City’s credit rating affirmed recently by S & P issued a credit rating of AA+
on the City’s 2015 Lease Revenue bonds. Ratings for lease revenue bond issues are typically one notch
lower than the issuers’ rating, due to the structure of the bond issue.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGETS
The City’s elected and appointed officials consider many economic factors when setting budgets, including
national, state and local economic conditions, trends in residential housing, and the unique needs of the
community. The Finance Department coordinates the development of the operating and capital budgets
presented by the City Manager to the City Council for consideration. The City adopts its operating budget in
a two-year cycle, with legal appropriations set for the first year only. The operating and capital budgets for
Fiscal Year 2015-16 were appropriated by the City Council in June 2015.
The fiscal year 2015-16 actual results, when compared to the adopted projections and appropriations,
showed revenues well above forecasts and expenditures significantly under budget. Fiscal year 2016-17
revenues expect to increase modestly above 2015-16 actual levels. Expenditures expect to rise modestly
above 2015-16 levels. Next year’s budget does anticipate a 1% adjustment to employee compensation,
which is the largest portion of the general fund budget. Debt service costs will remain consistent with 2015-
16.

Note 11 – Fund Balance and Net Position Classifications (Continued)
Categorization of Reserves under Adopted City Policies
All unassigned amounts in the City's General Fund are considered reserves under internal City policies. The
City maintains three separate and distinct reserves:
1) Contingency Reserve – represents funds that are set-aside for use only in exceptional
circumstances such as catastrophic events that could negatively impact the financial condition of the
City. Funding represents 20% of the next year’s operating expenditures, and no drawdowns have
ever been executed on this reserve. City Policy requires a 4/5 vote of the City Council to authorize
draws on this reserve. The amount of the contingency reserve as of June 30, 2016 was
$11,822,489.
2) BudgetStabilizationReserve – was established in 2007 to help mitigate potential fluctuations in
operating revenues, or to fund unanticipated operating expenditures. Funding levels are mandated
at 2% to 5% of the next year’s budgeted operating revenues. Any changes to the level of funding for
this reserve also require a 4/5 vote of the City Council. In practice, this reserve has been funded
within the established range since 2007, and changes are made during the annual budget process.
The amount of the budget stabilization reserve as of June 30, 2016 was $1,357,873.
3) GeneralUndesignatedReserve – this reserve represents any remaining unassigned fund balance
after funding levels have been established for (1) and (2) above. These funds may be allocated in
any manner the City Council designates. The amount of the general undesignated reserve as of
June 30, 2016 was $18,594,758.

maximum rate of 1% based upon the assessed value of the property being taxed. Each year the assessed value of
property may be increased by an "inflation factor" (limited to a maximum increase of 2%). With few exceptions,
property is only reassessed at the time that it was sold to a new owner. At that point, the new assessed value is

The Government Code of the State of California provides for a legal debt limit of 15% of gross assessed
valuation. However, this provision was enacted when assessed valuation was based upon 25% of
market value. Effective with the 1981-82 fiscal year, each parcel is now assessed at 100% of market
value (as of the most recent change in ownership for that parcel). The computations shown above
reflect a conversion of assessed valuation data for each fiscal year from the current full valuation
perspective to the 25% level that was in effect at the time the that the legal debt margin was enacted by
the State of California for local governments located within the state.

a conversion of assessed valuation data for each fiscal year from the current full valuation perspective to
the 25% level that was in effect at the time the that the legal debt margin was enacted by the State of

(6) Since 2012, Recycled Water Production and Delivery figures are revised to include water provided
to the Encinitas Ranch Golf Authority (ERGA). Beginning in 2012, the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority
(SEJPA) began directly providing recycled water to ERGA and the District ceased selling recycled water
to ERGA. The recycled water provided to ERGA credits towards the Districts production and delivery
figures as ERGA falls within the District's sphere of influence.

trust as a separate fund.
C-11
Allocation of Revenues
On or before each date on which principal of or interest on the Bonds becomes due and payable, the
Trustee shall transfer from the Bond Fund and deposit into the following respective accounts (each of which the
Trustee shall establish and maintain within the Bond Fund), the following amounts in the following order of
priority, the requirements of each such account (including the making up of any deficiencies in any such account
resulting from lack of Revenues sufficient to make any earlier required deposit) at the time of deposit to be
satisfied before any transfer is made to any account subsequent in priority:
(a) The Trustee shall deposit in the Interest Account an amount required to cause the
aggregate amount on deposit in the Interest Account to be at least equal to the amount of interest
becoming due and payable on such date on all Bonds then Outstanding.
(b) The Trustee shall deposit in the Principal Account an amount required to cause the
aggregate amount on deposit in the Principal Account to equal the principal amount of the Bonds
coming due and payable on such date.
(c) The Trustee shall deposit in the Sinking Account an amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of the Term Bonds required to be redeemed on such date, if any, pursuant to the
Indenture.
Application of Interest Account
All amounts in the Interest Account shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose
of paying interest on the Bonds as it shall become due and payable (including accrued interest on any Bonds
purchased or redeemed prior to maturity pursuant to the Indenture).
Application of Principal Account
All amounts in the Principal Account shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely to pay the
principal amount of the Bonds at their respective maturity dates.

used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely for the purpose of paying the principal of the Bonds to be redeemed
pursuant to the Indenture; provided, however, that at any time prior to giving notice of redemption of any such
Bonds, the Trustee may apply such amounts to the purchase of Bonds at public or private sale, as and when and
at such prices (including brokerage and other charges, but excluding accrued interest, which is payable from the
Interest Account) as shall be directed pursuant to a Written Request of the Authority received prior to the
selection of Bonds for redemption, except that the purchase price (exclusive of accrued interest) may not exceed
the redemption price then applicable to the Bonds.
Insurance and Condemnation Fund
(a) Establishment of Fund. Upon the receipt of any proceeds of insurance or eminent domain with
respect to any portion of the Leased Premises, the Trustee shall establish and maintain a separate Insurance and
Condemnation Fund, to be held and applied as set forth in the Indenture.
C-12
(b) Application of Insurance Proceeds. Any proceeds of insurance against accident to or
destruction of the Facilities collected by the City in the event of any such accident or destruction shall be applied
in accordance with the Lease Agreement. The City shall cause any such proceeds to be paid to the Trustee for
deposit in the Insurance and Condemnation Fund. If the City fails to determine and notify the Trustee in writing
of its determination, within forty-five (45) days following the date of such deposit, to replace, repair, restore,
modify or improve the Facilities, then such proceeds shall be promptly transferred by the Trustee to the
Redemption Fund and applied to the redemption of Bonds pursuant to the Indenture; provided, however, that
such redemption will occur only if the fair rental value of the remaining portion of the Leased Premises is
sufficient to allow the City to continue to make Lease Payments in amounts sufficient to pay debt service on the
Bonds that remain Outstanding after such redemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, however, in the
event of damage or destruction of the Facilities in full, the proceeds of such insurance shall be used by the City
to rebuild or replace the Facilities if such proceeds are not sufficient, together with other available funds then
held by the Trustee, to redeem all of the Outstanding Bonds. All proceeds deposited in the Insurance and
Condemnation Fund and not so transferred to the Redemption Fund shall be applied to the prompt replacement,
repair, restoration, modification or improvement of the damaged or destroyed portions of the Facilities by the
City, upon receipt of Written Requisitions of the City as agent for the Authority (i) stating with respect to each
payment to be made (A) the requisition number, (B) the name and address of the person to whom payment is
due, (C) the amount to be paid and (D) that each obligation mentioned therein has been properly incurred, is a
proper charge against the Insurance and Condemnation Fund, has not been the basis of any previous withdrawal;
(ii) specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the obligation; and (iii) accompanied by a bill or a statement of
account for such obligation. The Trustee may conclusively rely on any such Written Requisitions. Any balance
of the proceeds remaining after such work has been completed as certified by the City as agent for the Authority
shall be paid to the City.
(c) Application of Eminent Domain Proceeds. If all or any part of the Leased Premises shall be
taken by eminent domain proceedings (or sold to a government threatening to exercise the power of eminent
domain) the proceeds therefrom shall be applied in accordance with the Lease Agreement. The City shall cause
any such proceeds to be paid to the Trustee for deposit in the Insurance and Condemnation Fund, to be applied
and disbursed by the Trustee as follows:
(i) If the City has not given written notice to the Trustee, within forty-five (45) days
following the date on which such proceeds are deposited with the Trustee, of its determination that such
proceeds are needed for the replacement of the Leased Premises or such portion thereof, the Trustee
shall transfer such proceeds to the Redemption Fund to be applied towards the redemption of the Bonds
pursuant to the Indenture.
(ii) If the City has given written notice to the Trustee, within forty-five (45) days following
the date on which such proceeds are deposited with the Trustee, of its determination that such proceeds
are needed for replacement of the Leased Premises or such portion thereof, the Trustee shall pay to the
City, or to its order, from said proceeds such amounts as the City may expend for such replacement,
upon the filing of Written Requisitions of the City as agent for the Authority in the form and containing
the provisions set forth in the Indenture and upon which the Trustee may conclusively rely.
Investments
All moneys in any of the funds or accounts established with the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture shall
be invested by the Trustee solely in Permitted Investments which mature not later than the date such moneys are
estimated by the Authority to be required. Such investments shall be directed by the Authority pursuant to a
Written Request of the Authority filed with the Trustee at least two (2) Business Days in advance of the making
of such investments (which Written Request shall certify that the investments constitute Permitted Investments).
In the absence of any such directions from the Authority, the Trustee shall invest any such moneys in Permitted
Investments described in clause (4) of the definition thereof; provided, however, that any such investment shall
be made by the Trustee only if, prior to the date on which such investment is to be made, the Trustee shall have
C-13
received a written direction specifying a specific money market fund and, if no such written direction is so
received, the Trustee shall hold such moneys uninvested. Permitted Investments purchased as an investment of
moneys in any fund shall be deemed to be part of such fund or account.
All interest or gain derived from the investment of amounts in any of the funds or accounts established
under the Indenture shall be deposited in the Bond Fund. For purposes of acquiring any investments under the
Indenture, the Trustee may commingle funds held by it under the Indenture. The Trustee, or an affiliate, may
act as principal or agent in the acquisition or disposition of any investment and may impose its customary
charges therefor. The Trustee shall incur no liability for losses arising from any investments made pursuant to
the Indenture. Permitted Investments that are registered securities shall be registered in the name of the Trustee.
The Authority covenants that all investments of amounts deposited in any fund or account created by or
pursuant to the Indenture, or otherwise containing proceeds of the Bonds, shall be acquired and disposed of at
the Fair Market Value thereof.
Valuation and Disposition of Investments
For the purpose of determining the amount in any fund or account, all Permitted Investments credited to
such fund or account shall be valued at the Fair Market Value thereof; provided, however, that investments in
funds or accounts (or portions thereof) that are subject to a yield restriction under applicable provisions of the
Tax Code shall be valued at their present value (within the meaning of Section 148 of the Tax Code), consisting
generally of the cost thereof. The Trustee shall have no duty in connection with the determination of Fair
Market Value other than to follow the investment directions of the Authority.
PARTICULAR COVENANTS
Punctual Payment
The Authority shall punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of and interest and premium (if any)

The Authority shall not directly or indirectly extend or assent to the extension of the maturity of any of
the Bonds or the time of payment of any claims for interest by the purchase of such Bonds or by any other
arrangement, and in case the maturity of any of the Bonds or the time of payment of any such claims for interest
shall be extended, such Bonds or claims for interest shall not be entitled, in case of any default under the
Indenture, to the benefits of the Indenture, except subject to the prior payment in full of the principal of all of the
Bonds then Outstanding and of all claims for interest thereon which shall not have been so extended. Nothing in
the Indenture shall be deemed to limit the right of the Authority to issue Bonds for the purpose of refunding any
Outstanding Bonds, and such issuance shall not be deemed to constitute an extension of maturity of the Bonds.
Against Encumbrances
The Authority shall not create, or permit the creation of, any pledge, lien, charge or other encumbrance
upon the Revenues and other assets pledged or assigned under the Indenture while any of the Bonds are
Outstanding, except the pledge and assignment created by the Indenture. Subject to this limitation, the
Authority expressly reserves the right to enter into one or more other indentures for any of its corporate
purposes, and reserves the right to issue other obligations for such purposes.

assets and all the rights of the Bond Owners under the Indenture against all claims and demands of all persons

be delivered via the Trustee’s online service and upon electing such service, paper statements will be provided
only upon request. The Authority waives the right to receive brokerage confirmations of security transactions
effected by the Trustee as they occur, to the extent permitted by law. The Authority further understands that

otherwise, any action with respect to the proceeds of the Bonds which, if such action had been reasonably
expected to have been taken, or had been deliberately and intentionally taken, on the Closing Date would have
caused the Bonds to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Tax Code.
(d) Maintenance of Tax-Exemption. The Authority shall take all actions necessary to assure the
exclusion of interest on the Bonds from the gross income of the Owners of the Bonds to the same extent as such
interest is permitted to be excluded from gross income under the Tax Code as in effect on the Closing Date.

take all steps, actions and proceedings which the Trustee determines to be reasonably necessary for the
enforcement of all of its rights thereunder as assignee of the Authority and for the enforcement of all of the
obligations of the City under the Lease Agreement.
Waiver of Laws
The Authority shall not at any time insist upon or plead in any manner whatsoever, or claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law now or at any time hereafter in force that may affect the
covenants and agreements contained in the Indenture or in the Bonds, and all benefit or advantage of any such
law or laws is hereby expressly waived by the Authority to the extent permitted by law.
Further Assurances
The Authority will make, execute and deliver any and all such further indentures, instruments and
assurances as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out the intention or to facilitate the performance of

be remedied, shall have been given to the Authority by the Trustee; provided, however, that if in the
reasonable opinion of the Authority the default stated in the notice can be corrected, but not within such
thirty (30) day period, such default shall not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture if the
Authority shall commence to cure such default within such sixty (60) day period and thereafter
diligently and in good faith cure such failure in a reasonable period of time.
(d) The occurrence and continuation of an event of default under and as defined in the
Lease Agreement.
No Acceleration Upon Event of Default
If any Event of Default shall occur there shall not be any right on the part of the Trustee or the
Bondholders to declare the principal of all of the Bonds then Outstanding, and the interest accrued thereon, to be
due and payable immediately.
Application of Revenues and Other Funds After Default
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Indenture, if an Event of Default shall occur
and be continuing, all Revenues and any other funds then held or thereafter received by the Trustee under any of
the provisions of the Indenture shall be applied by the Trustee as follows and in the following order:
(a) To the payment of any expenses necessary in the opinion of the Trustee to protect the
interests of the Owners of the Bonds and payment of reasonable fees, charges and expenses of the

partially paid, or surrender thereof if fully paid) in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, as
follows:
First. To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of all installments of interest then
due in the order of the maturity of such installments, and, if the amount available shall not be

without any discrimination or preference; and
Second. To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of the unpaid principal of any
Bonds which shall have become due, whether at maturity or by acceleration or redemption, with
interest on the overdue principal at the rate borne by the respective Bonds (to the extent
permitted by law), and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full all the
Bonds, together with such interest, then to the payment thereof ratably, according to the
amounts of principal due on such date to the persons entitled thereto, without any discrimination
or preference.
Trustee to Represent Bond Owners
The Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed (and the successive respective Owners of the Bonds, by
taking and holding the same, shall be conclusively deemed to have so appointed the Trustee) as trustee and true
and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Owners of the Bonds for the purpose of exercising and prosecuting on their
behalf such rights and remedies as may be available to such Owners under the provisions of the Bonds, the
C-17
Indenture and applicable provisions of any law. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or
other occasion giving rise to a right in the Trustee to represent the Bond Owners, the Trustee in its discretion
may, and upon the written request of the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then
Outstanding, and upon being indemnified to its satisfaction therefor, the Trustee shall, proceed to protect or
enforce its rights or the rights of such Owners by such appropriate action, suit, mandamus or other proceedings
as it shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such right, at law or in equity, either for the specific
performance of any covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture, or in aid of the execution of any power
granted therein, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable right or remedy vested in the
Trustee or in such Owners under the Bonds, the Indenture or any other law. Upon instituting such proceeding,
the Trustee shall be entitled, as a matter of right, to the appointment of a receiver of the Revenues and other
assets pledged under the Indenture, pending such proceedings. All rights of action under the Indenture or the
Bonds or otherwise may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Bonds
or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding instituted by
the Trustee shall be brought in the name of the Trustee for the benefit and protection of all the Owners of such
Bonds, subject to the provisions of the Indenture.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture in determining whether the rights of the
Bondholders will be adversely affected by any action taken pursuant to the terms and provisions of the
Indenture, the Trustee shall consider the effect on the Bondholders as if there were no Insurance Policy.
Bond Owners’ Direction of Proceedings
Anything in the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the Owners of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding shall have the right, by an instrument or concurrent instruments
in writing executed and delivered to the Trustee, and upon indemnification of the Trustee to its reasonable
satisfaction, to direct the method of conducting all remedial proceedings taken by the Trustee under the
Indenture, provided that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of
the Indenture, and that the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction which in the
opinion of the Trustee would expose it to liability.
Limitation on Bond Owners’ Right to Sue
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, no Owner of any Bonds shall have the right to
institute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity, for the protection or enforcement of any right or
remedy under the Indenture, the Lease Agreement or any other applicable law with respect to such Bonds,
unless (a) such Owner shall have given to the Trustee written notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default;
(b) the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding shall have made
written request upon the Trustee to exercise the powers granted in the Indenture or to institute such suit, action
or proceeding in its own name; (c) such Owner or Owners shall have tendered to the Trustee reasonable
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; (d) the
Trustee shall have failed to comply with such request for a period of sixty (60) days after such written request
shall have been received by, and said tender of indemnity shall have been made to, the Trustee; and (e) no
direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee during such sixty (60) day
period by the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding.
Such notification, request, tender of indemnity and refusal or omission are hereby declared, in every
case, to be conditions precedent to the exercise by any Owner of Bonds of any remedy under the Indenture or
under law; it being understood and intended that no one or more Owners of Bonds shall have any right in any
manner whatever by his or their action to affect, disturb or prejudice the security of the Indenture or the rights of
any other Owners of Bonds, or to enforce any right under the Bonds, the Indenture, the Lease Agreement or
other applicable law with respect to the Bonds, except in the manner provided in the Indenture, and that all
proceedings at law or in equity to enforce any such right shall be instituted, had and maintained in the manner
C-18
provided in the Indenture and for the benefit and protection of all Owners of the Outstanding Bonds, subject to
the provisions of the Indenture.
Absolute Obligation of Authority
Nothing in the Indenture or in any other provision of the Indenture or in the Bonds contained shall affect
or impair the obligation of the Authority, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and
interest and premium (if any) on the Bonds to the respective Owners of the Bonds at their respective dates of
maturity, or upon call for redemption, as provided in the Indenture, but only out of the Revenues and other
assets therein pledged therefor, or affect or impair the right of such Owners, which is also absolute and
unconditional, to enforce such payment by virtue of the contract embodied in the Bonds.
Termination of Proceedings
In case any proceedings taken by the Trustee or any one or more Bond Owners on account of any Event
of Default shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to
the Trustee or the Bond Owners, then in every such case the Authority, the Trustee and the Bond Owners,
subject to any determination in such proceedings, shall be restored to their former positions and rights under the
Indenture, severally and respectively, and all rights, remedies, powers and duties of the Authority, the Trustee
and the Bond Owners shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.
Remedies Not Exclusive
No remedy conferred upon or reserved in the Indenture to the Trustee or to the Owners of the Bonds is
intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each and every such remedy, to the extent
permitted by law, shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy given under the Indenture or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.
No Waiver of Default
No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Owner of the Bonds to exercise any right or power arising
upon the occurrence of any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a
waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by the
Indenture to the Trustee or to the Owners of the Bonds may be exercised from time to time and as often as may
be deemed expedient.
THE TRUSTEE
Duties, Immunities and Liabilities of Trustee
(a) The Trustee shall, prior to an Event of Default, and after the curing of all Events of Default
which may have occurred, perform such duties and only such duties as are expressly and specifically set forth in
the Indenture and no implied duties or covenants shall be read into the Indenture against the Trustee. The
Trustee shall, during the existence of any Event of Default (which has not been cured), exercise such of the
rights and powers vested in it by the Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a
prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.
(b) The Authority may remove the Trustee at any time unless an Event of Default shall have
occurred and then be continuing, and the Authority shall remove the Trustee if at any time requested to do so by
the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding (or their
attorneys duly authorized in writing) or if at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the Indenture, or shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of
the Trustee or its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take control or charge of the Trustee or
of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, in each case by giving
C-19
written notice of such removal to the Trustee and the City and thereupon shall appoint a successor Trustee by an
instrument in writing. Any such removal shall be made upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the
Trustee. Upon giving such written notice of removal, the Authority shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee
by an instrument in writing.
(c) The Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the
Authority, to the City, and by giving the Bond Owners notice of such resignation by mail at the addresses shown
on the Registration Books. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Authority shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee by an instrument in writing.
(d) Any removal or resignation of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become
effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee; provided, however, that no removal
resignation or termination of the Trustee shall take effect until a successor shall be appointed. If no successor
Trustee shall have been appointed and have accepted appointment within forty-five (45) days of giving notice of
removal or notice of resignation as aforesaid, the Authority shall, and the Trustee may, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee, and such court may thereupon, after such
notice (if any) as it may deem proper, appoint such successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed under
the Indenture, shall signify its acceptance of such appointment by executing and delivering to the Authority and
to its predecessor Trustee a written acceptance thereof, and thereupon such successor Trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the moneys, estates, properties, rights, powers,
trusts, duties and obligations of such predecessor Trustee, with like effect as if originally named Trustee in the
Indenture; but, nevertheless at the Written Request of the Authority or the request of the successor Trustee, such
predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver any and all instruments of conveyance or further assurance and do
such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such
successor Trustee all the right, title and interest of such predecessor Trustee in and to any property held by it
under the Indenture and shall pay over, transfer, assign and deliver to the successor Trustee any money or other
property subject to the trusts and conditions set forth therein. Upon request of the successor Trustee, the
Authority shall execute and deliver any and all instruments as may be reasonably required for more fully and
certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such moneys, estates, properties, rights,
powers, trusts, duties and obligations. Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in
the Indenture, the Authority shall mail or cause the successor Trustee to mail a notice of the succession of such
Trustee to the trusts under the Indenture to the Bond Owners at the addresses shown on the Registration Books.
If the Authority fails to mail such notice within fifteen (15) days after acceptance of appointment by the
successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Authority.
(e) Any Trustee appointed under the Indenture shall be a corporation or association organized and
doing business under the laws of any state or the United States of America or the District of Columbia,
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, which shall have (or, in the case of a corporation
included in a bank holding company system, the related bank holding company shall have) a combined capital
and surplus of at least Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000), and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or State agency, so long as any Bonds are Outstanding. If such corporation publishes a report of
condition at least annually pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining agency above
referred to then for the purpose of the Indenture, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In
case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, the
Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in the Indenture.
Merger or Consolidation
Any bank or trust company into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated or any bank or trust company resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which it
shall be a party or any bank or trust company to which the Trustee may sell or transfer all or substantially all of
its corporate trust business, provided such bank or trust company shall be eligible under the Indenture shall be
C-20
the successor to such Trustee, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act, anything in the
Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding.
Liability of Trustee
(a) The recitals of facts in the Indenture and in the Bonds contained shall not be taken as statements
of the Authority, and the Trustee shall not assume responsibility for the correctness of the same, or make any
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of the Indenture, the Bonds or the Lease Agreement, nor shall the
Trustee incur any responsibility in respect thereof, other than as expressly stated in the Indenture in connection
with the respective duties or obligations therein or in the Bonds assigned to or imposed upon it. The Trustee
shall, however, be responsible for its representations contained in its certificate of authentication on the Bonds.
The Trustee shall not be liable in connection with the performance of its duties under the Indenture, except for
its own negligence. The Trustee may become the Owner of Bonds with the same rights it would have if it were
not Trustee, and, to the extent permitted by law, may act as depository for and permit any of its officers or
directors to act as a member of, or in any other capacity with respect to, any committee formed to protect the
rights of Bond Owners, whether or not such committee shall represent the Owners of a majority in principal
amount of the Bonds then Outstanding.
(b) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a responsible
officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
(c) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in
good faith in accordance with the direction of the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding relating to the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee
under the Indenture.
(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by the Indenture.
(e) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default under the
Indenture, or any other event which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an
Event of Default under the Indenture unless and until it shall have actual knowledge thereof, or shall have
received written notice thereof, at its Office. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Indenture, the
Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance by the Authority or the
City of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements in the Indenture, under the Lease Agreement or of
any of the documents executed in connection with the Bonds, or as to the existence of an Event of Default or an
event which would, with the giving of notice, the passage of time, or both, constitute an Event of Default. The
Trustee shall not be responsible for the validity, effectiveness or priority of any collateral given to or held by it.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the
performance or observance by the City and the Authority of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements set
forth in the Lease Agreement, other than the covenants of the City to make Additional Lease Payments to the
Trustee when due and to file with the Trustee, when due, such reports and certifications as the City is required to
file with the Trustee thereunder.
(f) No provision of the Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties under the Indenture, or in the
exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it is not assured to its satisfaction that the repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(g) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers under the Indenture or perform any duties
thereunder either directly or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any
misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it under the Indenture.
C-21
(h) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by
the Indenture at the request or direction of Owners pursuant to the Indenture, unless such Owners shall have
offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be
incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. No permissive power, right or remedy conferred
upon the Trustee under the Indenture shall be construed to impose a duty to exercise such power, right or
remedy.
(i) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of the Indenture and the Lease
Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of the Indenture.
(j) The Trustee shall not be concerned with or accountable to anyone for the subsequent use or
application of any moneys which shall be released or withdrawn in accordance with the provisions of the
Indenture.
(k) The Trustee makes no representation or warranty, expressed or implied as to the title, value,
design, compliance with specifications or legal requirements, quality, durability, operation, condition,
merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose for the use contemplated by the Authority or the City of the
Leased Premises. In no event shall the Trustee be liable for incidental, indirect, special or consequential
damages in connection with or arising from the Lease Agreement or the Indenture for the existence, furnishing
or use of the Leased Premises.
(l) The Trustee may establish such funds and accounts under the Indenture as it deems necessary or
appropriate to perform its obligations under the Indenture.
Right to Rely on Documents
The Trustee shall be protected in acting upon any notice, resolution, request, requisition, consent, order,
certificate, report, opinion, bonds or other paper or document believed by them to be genuine and to have been
signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Trustee may consult with counsel, who may be counsel
of or to the Authority, with regard to legal questions, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by it under the Indenture in good faith and
in accordance therewith.
The Trustee may treat the Owners of the Bonds appearing in the Registration Books as the absolute
owners of the Bonds for all purposes and the Trustee shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Whenever in the administration of the trusts imposed upon it by the Indenture the Trustee shall deem it
necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action under the
Indenture, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be specifically prescribed in the Indenture) may
be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a Written Certificate, Written Request or Written
Requisition of the Authority or the City, and such Written Certificate, Written Request or Written Requisition
shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken or suffered in good faith under the provisions of the
Indenture in reliance upon such Written Certificate, Written Request or Written Requisition, but in its discretion
the Trustee may, in lieu thereof, accept other evidence of such matter or may require such additional evidence as
to it may deem reasonable.
If the Trustee acts on any communication (including, but not limited to, communication with respect to
the delivery of securities or the wire transfer of funds) sent by electronic transmission, the Trustee, absent
negligence or willful misconduct, will not be responsible or liable in the event such communication is not an
authorized or authentic communication of the party involved or is not in the form the party involved, sent or
intended to send (whether due to fraud, distortion or otherwise). The Trustee will not be liable for any losses,
costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such
C-22
instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction.
The Authority agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic transmission to submit
instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on
unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.
The Trustee shall not be considered in breach of or in default in its obligations under the Indenture and
will not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility under
the Indenture, or progress in respect thereto in the event of enforced delay (“unavoidable delay”) in the
performance of such obligations due to unforeseeable causes beyond its control and without its fault or
negligence, including, but not limited to, natural catastrophes, civil or military disturbances, loss or malfunctions
of utilities, any act of God or war, terrorism or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank or other wire or
communication facility, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, riot, or any similar event and/or occurrences
beyond the control of the Trustee.
Preservation and Inspection of Documents
All documents received by the Trustee under the provisions of the Indenture shall be retained in its
respective possession pursuant to its records retention policies and shall be subject at all reasonable times to the
inspection of the Authority, the City and any Bond Owner, and their agents and representatives duly authorized
in writing, at reasonable hours and under reasonable conditions.
Compensation and Indemnification
The Authority shall pay to the Trustee (solely from Miscellaneous Rent) from time to time the
compensation for all services rendered under the Indenture and also all reasonable expenses and disbursements,
incurred in and about the performance of its powers and duties under the Indenture.
The Authority shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trustee and its officers, directors, agents
and employees, against any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on its
part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust, including costs and
expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any
of its powers under the Indenture. As security for the performance of the obligations of the Authority under the
Indenture and the obligation of the City to pay Miscellaneous Rent to the Trustee, the Trustee shall have a lien
prior to the lien of the Bonds upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds
held in trust for the payment of principal of or interest on particular Bonds. The rights of the Trustee and the
obligations of the Authority under the Indenture shall survive the discharge of the Bonds and the Indenture.
MODIFICATION OR AMENDMENT OF THE INDENTURE
Amendments Permitted
(a) The Indenture and the rights and obligations of the Authority and of the Owners of the Bonds
and of the Trustee may be modified or amended from time to time and at any time by an indenture or indentures
supplemental thereto, which the Authority and the Trustee may enter into when the written consents of the
Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding, shall have been filed with
the Trustee. No such modification or amendment shall (i) extend the fixed maturity of any Bonds, or reduce the
amount of principal thereof or extend the time of payment, or change the method of computing the rate of
interest thereon, or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, without the consent of the Owner of each
Bond so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Bonds the consent of the Owners of which is
required to effect any such modification or amendment, or permit the creation of any lien on the Revenues and
other assets pledged under the Indenture prior to or on a parity with the lien created by the Indenture except as
permitted therein, or deprive the Owners of the Bonds of the lien created by the Indenture on such Revenues and
other assets (except as expressly provided in the Indenture), without the consent of the Owners of all of the
C-23
Bonds then Outstanding. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Bond Owners to approve the particular
form of any Supplemental Indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance
thereof.
(b) The Indenture and the rights and obligations of the Authority, of the Trustee and the Owners of
the Bonds may also be modified or amended from time to time and at any time by a Supplemental Indenture,
which the Authority and the Trustee may enter into without the consent of any Bond Owners, if the Trustee has
been furnished an opinion of counsel that the provisions of such Supplemental Indenture shall not materially
adversely affect the interests of the Owners of the Bonds, including, without limitation, for any one or more of
the following purposes:
(i) to add to the covenants and agreements of the Authority in the Indenture contained
other covenants and agreements thereafter to be observed, to pledge or assign additional security for the
Bonds (or any portion thereof), or to surrender any right or power reserved in the Indenture to or
conferred upon the Authority;
(ii) to make such provisions for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, inconsistency or
omission, or of curing or correcting any defective provision, contained in the Indenture, or in regard to
matters or questions arising under the Indenture, as the Authority may deem necessary or desirable,
provided that such modification or amendment does not materially adversely affect the interests of the
Bond Owners, in the opinion of Bond Counsel filed with the Trustee;
(iii) to modify, amend or supplement the Indenture in such manner as to permit the
qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, or any similar federal
statute hereafter in effect, and to add such other terms, conditions and provisions as may be permitted by
said act or similar federal statute;
(iv) to modify, amend or supplement the Indenture in such manner as to cause interest on
the Bonds to remain excludable from gross income under the Tax Code; or
(v) to facilitate the issuance of additional bonds of the Authority secured by Lease
Payments of the City pursuant to the Lease Agreement.
(c) The Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such
Supplemental Indenture authorized by the Indenture which materially adversely affects the Trustee’s own rights,
duties or immunities under the Indenture or otherwise.
(d) Prior to the Trustee entering into any Supplemental Indenture under the Indenture, there shall be
delivered to the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel stating, in substance, that such Supplemental Indenture has
been adopted in compliance with the requirements of the Indenture and that the adoption of such Supplemental
Indenture will not, in and of itself, adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for purposes of federal
income taxes of interest on the Bonds.
Effect of Supplemental Indenture
Upon the execution of any Supplemental Indenture pursuant to the Indenture, the Indenture shall be
deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith, and the respective rights, duties and obligations
under the Indenture of the Authority, the Trustee and all Owners of Bonds Outstanding shall thereafter be
determined, exercised and enforced under the Indenture subject in all respects to such modification and
amendment, and all the terms and conditions of any such Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed to be part of
the terms and conditions of the Indenture for any and all purposes.
C-24
Endorsement of Bonds; Preparation of New Bonds
Bonds delivered after the execution of any Supplemental Indenture pursuant to the Indenture may, and if
the Trustee so determines shall, bear a notation by endorsement or otherwise in form approved by the Authority
and the Trustee as to any modification or amendment provided for in such Supplemental Indenture, and, in that
case, upon demand on the Owner of any Bonds Outstanding at the time of such execution and presentation of his
Bonds for the purpose at the Office of the Trustee or at such additional offices as the Trustee may select and
designate for that purpose, a suitable notation shall be made on such Bonds. If the Supplemental Indenture shall
so provide, new Bonds so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Authority and the Trustee, to any
modification or amendment contained in such Supplemental Indenture, shall be prepared and executed by the
Authority and authenticated by the Trustee, and upon demand on the Owners of any Bonds then Outstanding
shall be exchanged at the Office of the Trustee, without cost to any Bond Owner, for Bonds then Outstanding,
upon surrender for cancellation of such Bonds, in equal aggregate principal amount of the same series and
maturity.
Amendment of Particular Bonds
The provisions of the Indenture shall not prevent, any Bond Owner from accepting any amendment as to
the particular Bonds held by him.
DEFEASANCE
Discharge of Indenture
Any or all of the Outstanding Bonds may be paid by the Authority in any of the following ways,
provided that the Authority also pays or causes to be paid any other sums payable under the Indenture by the
Authority:
(a) by paying or causing to be paid the principal of and interest and premium (if any) on
such Bonds, as and when the same become due and payable;
(b) by depositing with the Trustee, in trust, at or before maturity, money or securities in the
necessary amount (as provided in the Indenture) to pay or redeem such Bonds; or
(c) by delivering to the Trustee, for cancellation by it, all of such Bonds.
If the Authority shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable under the Indenture by the
Authority, then and in that case, at the election of the Authority (evidenced by a Written Certificate of the
Authority, filed with the Trustee, signifying the intention of the Authority to discharge all such indebtedness and
the Indenture), and notwithstanding that any of such Bonds shall not have been surrendered for payment, the
Indenture and the pledge of Revenues and other assets made under the Indenture with respect to such Bonds and
all covenants, agreements and other obligations of the Authority under the Indenture with respect to such Bonds
shall cease, terminate, become void and be completely discharged and satisfied. In such event, upon the Written
Request of the Authority, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Authority all such instruments as may be
necessary or desirable to evidence such discharge and satisfaction, and the Trustee shall pay over, transfer,
assign or deliver to the City all moneys or securities or other property held by it pursuant to the Indenture which
are not required for the payment or redemption of any of such Bonds not theretofore surrendered for such
payment or redemption.
Discharge of Liability on Bonds
Upon the deposit with the Trustee, in trust, at or before maturity, of money or securities in the necessary
amount (as provided in the Indenture) to pay or redeem any Outstanding Bonds (whether upon or prior to the
maturity or the redemption date of such Bonds), provided that, if such Bonds are to be redeemed prior to
C-25
maturity, notice of such redemption shall have been given as provided in the Indenture or provision satisfactory
to the Trustee shall have been made for the giving of such notice, then all liability of the Authority in respect of
such Bonds shall cease, terminate and be completely discharged, and the Owners thereof shall thereafter be
entitled only to payment out of such money or securities deposited with the Trustee as aforesaid for their
payment, subject, however, to the provisions of the Indenture.
The Authority may at any time surrender to the Trustee for cancellation by it any Bonds previously
issued and delivered, which the Authority may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and such Bonds, upon
such surrender and cancellation, shall be deemed to be paid and retired.
Deposit of Money or Securities with Trustee
Whenever in the Indenture it is provided or permitted that there be deposited with or held in trust by the
Trustee money or securities in the necessary amount to pay or redeem any Bonds, the money or securities so to
be deposited or held may include money or securities held by the Trustee in the funds and accounts established
pursuant to the Indenture and shall be:
(a) lawful money of the United States of America in an amount equal to the principal
amount of such Bonds and all unpaid interest thereon to maturity, except that, in the case of Bonds
which are to be redeemed prior to maturity and in respect of which notice of such redemption shall have
been given as provided in the Indenture or provision satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made for
the giving of such notice, the amount to be deposited or held shall be the principal amount of such
Bonds and all unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date; or
(b) non-callable Federal Securities, the principal of and interest on which when due will, in
the written opinion of an Independent Accountant filed with the City, the Authority and the Trustee,
provide money sufficient to pay the principal of and interest and premium (if any) on the Bonds to be
paid or redeemed, as such principal, interest and premium become due, provided that in the case of
Bonds which are to be redeemed prior to the maturity thereof, notice of such redemption shall have been
given as provided in the Indenture or provision satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made for the
giving of such notice;
provided, in each case, that (i) the Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed (by the terms of the Indenture
or by Written Request of the Authority) to apply such money to the payment of such principal, interest and
premium (if any) with respect to such Bonds, and (ii) the Authority shall have delivered to the Trustee an
opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such Bonds have been discharged in accordance with the Indenture
(which opinion may rely upon and assume the accuracy of the Independent Accountant’s opinion referred to
above).
Unclaimed Funds
Notwithstanding any provisions of the Indenture, and subject to applicable provisions of State law, any
moneys held by the Trustee in trust for the payment of the principal of, or interest on, any Bonds and remaining
unclaimed for two (2) years after the principal of such Bonds has become due and payable (whether at maturity
or upon call for redemption or by acceleration as provided in the Indenture), if such moneys were so held at such
date, or two (2) years after the date of deposit of such moneys if deposited after said date when such Bonds
became due and payable, shall be repaid to the Authority free from the trusts created by the Indenture upon
receipt of a Written Request of the Authority, and all liability of the Trustee with respect to such moneys shall
thereupon cease; provided/ however, that before the repayment of such moneys to the Authority as aforesaid, the
Trustee may (at the cost of the City) first mail to the Owners of Bonds which have not yet been paid, at the
addresses shown on the Registration Books, a notice, in such form as may be deemed appropriate by the Trustee
with respect to the Bonds so payable and not presented and with respect to the provisions relating to the
repayment to the Authority of the moneys held for the payment thereof.
C-26
MISCELLANEOUS
Liability of Authority Limited to Revenues
Notwithstanding anything in the Indenture or in the Bonds contained, the Authority shall not be required
to advance any moneys derived from any source other than the Revenues and other assets pledged under the
Indenture for any of the purposes in the Indenture mentioned, whether for the payment of the principal of or
interest on the Bonds or for any other purpose of the Indenture. Nevertheless, the Authority may, but shall not
be required to, advance for any of the purposes of the Indenture any funds of the Authority which may be made
available to it for such purposes.
Limitation of Rights to Parties and Bond Owners
Nothing in the Indenture or in the Bonds expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to give
to any person other than the Authority, the Trustee, the City and the Owners of the Bonds, any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under or in respect of the Indenture or any covenant, condition or provision contained
therein; and all such covenants, conditions and provisions are and shall be held to be for the sole and exclusive
benefit of the Authority, the Trustee, the City and the Owners of the Bonds.
Funds and Accounts
Any fund or account required by the Indenture to be established and maintained by the Trustee may be
established and maintained in the accounting records of the Trustee, either as a fund or an account, and may, for
the purposes of such records, any audits thereof and any reports or statements with respect thereto, be treated
either as a fund or as an account; but all such records with respect to all such funds and accounts shall at all
times be maintained in accordance with corporate trust industry standards to the extent practicable, and with due
regard for the requirements of the Indenture and for the protection of the security of the Bonds and the rights of
every Owner thereof.
Waiver of Notice; Requirement of Mailed Notice
Whenever in the Indenture the giving of notice by mail or otherwise is required, the giving of such
notice may be waived in writing by the person entitled to receive such notice and in any such case the giving or
receipt of such notice shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such
waiver. Whenever in the Indenture any notice shall be required to be given by mail, such requirement shall be
satisfied by the deposit of such notice in the United States mail, postage prepaid, by first class mail.
Destruction of Bonds
Whenever in the Indenture provision is made for the cancellation by the Trustee and the delivery to the
Authority of any Bonds, the Trustee shall, in lieu of such cancellation and delivery, destroy such Bonds and
deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Authority.
Severability of Invalid Provisions
If any one or more of the provisions contained in the Indenture or in the Bonds shall for any reason be
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then such provision or provisions shall be deemed
severable from the remaining provisions contained in the Indenture and such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of the Indenture, and the Indenture shall be construed as if
such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained in the Indenture. The Authority
hereby declares that it would have entered into the Indenture and each and every other Section, paragraph,
sentence, clause or phrase of the Indenture and authorized the issuance of the Bonds pursuant thereto
irrespective of the fact that any one or more Sections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases of the Indenture
may be held illegal, invalid or unenforceable.
C-27
Evidence of Rights of Bond Owners
Any request, consent or other instrument required or permitted by the Indenture to be signed and
executed by Bond Owners may be in any number of concurrent instruments of substantially similar tenor and
shall be signed or executed by such Bond Owners in person or by an agent or agents duly appointed in writing.
Proof of the execution of any such request, consent or other instrument or of a writing appointing any such
agent, or of the holding by any person of Bonds transferable by delivery, shall be sufficient for any purpose of
the Indenture and shall be conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Authority if made in the manner provided
in the Indenture.
The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such request, consent or other instrument or
writing may be proved by the certificate of any notary public or other officer of any jurisdiction, authorized by
the laws thereof to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the person signing such request, consent or
other instrument acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness of such execution
duly sworn to before such notary public or other officer.
The ownership of Bonds shall be proved by the Registration Books.
Any request, consent, or other instrument or writing of the Owner of any Bond shall bind every future
Owner of the same Bond and the Owner of every Bond issued in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect
of anything done or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Authority in accordance therewith or reliance
thereon.
Disqualified Bonds
In determining whether the Owners of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Bonds have
concurred in any demand, request, direction, consent or waiver under the Indenture, Bonds which are known by
the Trustee to be owned or held by or for the account of the Authority or the City, or by any other obligor on the
Bonds, or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by, or under direct or indirect common
control with, the Authority or the City or any other obligor on the Bonds, shall be disregarded and deemed not to
be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination. Bonds so owned which have been pledged in good
faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of the Indenture if the pledgee shall establish to the
satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to vote such Bonds and that the pledgee is not a person directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by, or under direct or indirect common control with, the Authority or the City
or any other obligor on the Bonds. In case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon
the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.
Money Held for Particular Bonds
The money held by the Trustee for the payment of the interest or principal due on any date with respect
to particular Bonds (or portions of Bonds in the case of Bonds redeemed in part only) shall, on and after such
date and pending such payment, be set aside on its books and held in trust by it for the Owners of the Bonds
entitled thereto, subject, however, to the provisions of the Indenture but without any liability for interest thereon.
Waiver of Personal Liability
No member, officer, agent or employee of the Authority shall be individually or personally liable for the
payment of the principal of or interest or premium (if any) on the Bonds or be subject to any personal liability or
accountability by reason of the issuance thereof; but nothing contained in the Indenture shall relieve any such
member, officer, agent or employee from the performance of any official duty provided by law or by the
Indenture.
C-28
Benefit of Parties
Nothing in the Indenture expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon, or to
give or grant to, any person or entity, other than the Authority, the Trustee, and the registered Owners of the
Bonds, any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of the Indenture or any covenant, condition or stipulation
of the Indenture, and all covenants, stipulations, promises and agreements in the Indenture contained by and on
behalf of the Authority shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Authority, the Trustee and the registered
Owners of the Bonds.
Successor Is Deemed Included in All References to Predecessor
Whenever in the Indenture either the Authority and the Trustee are named or referred to, such reference
shall be deemed to include the successors or assigns thereof, and all the covenants and agreements in the
Indenture contained by or on behalf of the Authority and the Trustee shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
respective successors and assigns thereof whether so expressed or not.
Execution in Several Counterparts
The Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all
purposes be deemed to be an original; and all such counterparts, or as many of them as the Authority and the
Trustee shall preserve undestroyed, shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
Governing Law
The Indenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State.

and less the payment of Costs of Issuance, and in consideration of the execution of the Lease Agreement by the

C-32
prior to April 1, 2031, the Indenture shall be discharged by its terms and any amounts then owed to the Trustee
have been paid in full, the Term of the Lease Agreement shall thereupon end.
Lease Payments; Security Deposit
(a) Obligation to Pay. In consideration of the lease and lease back by the Authority of the Leased
Premises and in consideration of the issuance of the Bonds by the Authority for the purpose of acquiring the
Site, and subject to the provisions of the Lease Agreement, the City agrees to pay to the Authority, its successors
and assigns, as rental for the use and occupancy of the Leased Premises during each Fiscal Year, the Lease
Payments (denominated into components of principal and interest) for the Leased Premises in the respective
amounts specified in Exhibit B to the Lease Agreement, to be due and payable each respective Lease Payment
Date specified in Exhibit B thereto. Any amount held in the Bond Fund (but not including any amounts on
deposit in the Reserve Account), the Interest Account, the Sinking Account or the Principal Account (other than
amounts resulting from the prepayment of the Lease Payments in part but not in whole pursuant to the Lease
Agreement) on any Lease Payment Date shall be credited towards the Lease Payment then due and payable. The
Lease Payments coming due and payable in any Fiscal Year shall be for the use of the Leased Premises for such
Fiscal Year. For purposes of making payments on the Bonds, the City shall deliver the Lease Payments to the
Trustee no later than one Business Day prior to the Lease Payment Date.
(b) Effect of Prepayment. In the event that the City prepays all Lease Payments in full pursuant to
the Lease Agreement, the City’s obligations under the Lease Agreement shall thereupon cease and terminate,
including but not limited to the City’s obligation to pay Lease Payments under the Lease Agreement. In the
event that the City prepays the Lease Payments in part but not in whole pursuant to the Lease Agreement the
Authority shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee and the City a revised schedule of Lease
Payments due after such partial prepayment, which revised schedule of Lease Payments shall be sufficient to
provide for the scheduled payment of remaining principal of and interest on the Bonds, and which schedule shall
represent an adjustment to the schedule of Lease Payments set forth in Exhibit B to the Lease Agreement after
taking into account said partial prepayment.
(c) Rate on Overdue Payments. In the event the City should fail to make any of the payments
required in the Lease Agreement, the payment in default shall continue as an obligation of the City until the
amount in default shall have been fully paid, and the City agrees to pay the same with interest thereon, to the
extent permitted by law, from the date of default to the date of payment at the rate per annum equal to the
average interest rate on the Bonds. Such interest, if received, shall be deposited in the Bond Fund.
(d) Fair Rental Value. The Lease Payments and Miscellaneous Rent coming due and payable under
the Lease Agreement in each Fiscal Year shall constitute the total rental for the Leased Premises for each Fiscal
Year and shall be paid by the City in each Fiscal Year for and in consideration of the right of the use and
occupancy of, and the continued quiet use and enjoyment of, the Leased Premises during each Fiscal Year. The
parties hereto have agreed and determined that the total amount of such Lease Payments and Miscellaneous Rent
for the Leased Premises do not exceed the fair rental value of the Leased Premises. In making such
determination, consideration has been given to the obligations of the parties under the Lease Agreement, the
uses and purposes which may be served by the Leased Premises and the benefits therefrom which will accrue to
the City and the general public.
(e) Source of Payments; Budget and Appropriation. The Lease Payments shall be payable from
any source of available funds of the City, subject to the provisions of the Lease Agreement. The City covenants
to take such action as may be necessary to include all Lease Payments and Miscellaneous Rent due under the
Lease Agreement in each of its budgets during the Term of the Lease Agreement and to make the necessary
annual appropriations for all such Lease Payments and Miscellaneous Rent. The covenants on the part of the
City contained in the Lease Agreement shall be deemed to be and shall be construed to be ministerial duties
imposed by law and it shall be the duty of each and every public official of the City to take such action and do
such things as are required by law in the performance of the official duty of such officials to enable the City to
C-33
carry out and perform the covenants and agreements in the Lease Agreement agreed to be carried out and
performed by the City.
The City and the Authority understand and intend that the obligation of the City to pay Lease Payments
and other payments under the Lease Agreement constitutes a current expense of the City and shall not in any
way be construed to be a debt of the City in contravention of any applicable constitutional or statutory limitation
or requirement concerning the creation of indebtedness by the City, nor shall anything contained in the Lease
Agreement constitute a pledge of the general tax revenues, funds or moneys of the City. Lease Payments due
under the Lease Agreement shall be payable only from current funds which are budgeted and appropriated, or
otherwise legally available, for the purpose of paying Lease Payments or other payments due under the Lease
Agreement as consideration for use of the Leased Premises during the Fiscal Year for which such funds were
budgeted and appropriated or otherwise made legally available for such purpose. The Lease Agreement shall
not create an immediate indebtedness for any aggregate payments which may become due under the Lease
Agreement. The City has not pledged the full faith and credit of the City, the State or any agency or department
thereof to the payment of the Lease Payments or any other payments due under the Lease Agreement, the Bonds
or the interest thereon.
(f) Assignment. The City understands and agrees that all Lease Payments have been assigned by
the Authority to the Trustee in trust, pursuant to the Indenture, for the benefit of the Owners of the Bonds, and
the City hereby assents to such assignment. The Authority hereby directs the City, and the City hereby agrees, to
pay all of the Lease Payments to the Trustee at its Office.
(g) Security Deposit. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Lease Agreement, the City may
on any date secure the payment of the Lease Payments in whole or in part by depositing with the Trustee an
amount of cash which, together with other available amounts, is either (a) sufficient to pay such Lease
Payments, including the principal and interest components thereof, in accordance with the related Lease
Payment schedule set forth in Exhibit B to the Lease Agreement, or (b) invested in whole or in part in
non-callable Federal Securities in such amount as will, in the opinion of an Independent Accountant, together
with interest to accrue thereon and together with any cash which is so deposited, be fully sufficient to pay such
Lease Payments when due under the Lease Agreement or on any optional prepayment date pursuant to the Lease
Agreement, as the City shall instruct at the time of said deposit. Said security deposit shall be deemed to be and
shall constitute a special fund for the payment of Lease Payments in accordance with the provisions of the Lease
Agreement. In connection with the making of any such security deposit, the Authority shall take, and shall
cause the Trustee to take, any actions necessary to remove the appropriate portions of the Leased Premises from
the lien of the Lease Agreement.
(h) Delinquent Lease Payments. Any delinquent Lease Payment shall be made to the Trustee for
application as set forth in the Indenture.
Optional Prepayment
The City shall have the option to prepay the principal components of the Lease Payments in whole, or in
part in any integral multiple of $5,000, on any date on or after April 1, 2027, by paying a prepayment price
equal to the aggregate principal components of the Lease Payments to be prepaid, together with a prepayment
premium equal to the premium (if any) required to be paid on the corresponding redemption of the Bonds
pursuant to the Indenture and together with accrued interest to the prepayment date. Such prepayment price
(except the interest portion thereof, which shall be deposited into the Interest Account) shall be deposited by the
Trustee in the Redemption Fund to be applied to the redemption of Bonds pursuant to the Indenture. The
Authority shall give the Trustee written notice of the City’s intention to exercise its option not less than sixty
(60) days in advance of the date of exercise or such shorter period acceptable to the Trustee. Notwithstanding
any such prepayment, as long as any Bonds remain Outstanding or any Miscellaneous Rent payments remain
unpaid, the City shall not be relieved of its obligations under the Lease Agreement as to such Bonds or such
Miscellaneous Rent.
C-34
Quiet Enjoyment
During the Term of the Lease Agreement, the Authority shall provide the City with quiet use and
enjoyment of the Leased Premises, and the City shall, during such Term, peaceably and quietly have and hold
and enjoy the Leased Premises without suit, trouble or hindrance from the Authority, except as expressly set
forth in the Lease Agreement. The Authority will, at the request of the City and at the City’s cost, join in any
legal action in which the City asserts its right to such possession and enjoyment to the extent the Authority may
lawfully do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Authority shall have the right to inspect the Leased Premises
as provided in the Lease Agreement.
Title
During the Term of the Lease Agreement, the Authority shall hold a leasehold in the Leased Premises,
and in any and all additions which comprise fixtures, repairs, replacements or modifications to the Leased
Premises, except for those fixtures, repairs, replacements or modifications which are added to the Leased
Premises by the City at its own expense and which may be removed without damaging the Leased Premises and
except for any items added to the Leased Premises by the City pursuant to the Lease Agreement. All right, title
and interest of the Authority in and to the Leased Premises shall be transferred to and vested in the City if (a) the
City pays all of the Lease Payments and Miscellaneous Rent during the Term of the Lease Agreement as the
same become due and payable, or if the City posts a security deposit for payment of the Lease Payments or
prepays the Lease Payments pursuant to the Lease Agreement if the City has paid in full all of the Miscellaneous
Rent coming due and payable as of the date of such prepayment; and provided in any event that no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Authority agrees to take any and all steps and execute and
record any and all documents reasonably required by the City to consummate any such transfer of title.
Miscellaneous Rent
In addition to the Lease Payments, the City shall pay when due the following items of Miscellaneous
Rent:
(a) All fees and expenses incurred by the Authority in connection with or by reason of its
leasehold estate in the Leased Premises as and when the same become due and payable;

experts as may be engaged by the Authority or the Trustee to prepare audits, financial statements,
reports, opinions or provide such other services required under the Lease Agreement or the Indenture;

execution and delivery of the Lease Agreement or the Indenture, or in connection with the issuance of
the Bonds, including but not limited to amounts payable pursuant to the Lease Agreement, and
including but not limited to any and all expenses incurred in connection with the authorization, issuance,
sale and delivery of the Bonds, or incurred by the Authority in connection with any litigation which may
at any time be instituted involving the Lease Agreement, the Bonds, the Indenture or any of the other
documents contemplated hereby or thereby, or otherwise incurred in connection with the administration
of the Lease Agreement.
C-35
Substitution or Release of Leased Premises
The City shall have, and is hereby granted, the option at any time and from time to time during the Term
of the Lease Agreement, to substitute other land, facilities or improvements (the “Substitute Leased Premises”)
for the Leased Premises or any portion thereof (the “Former Leased Premises”) or to release a portion of the
Leased Premises (the “Released Premises”) from the lien of the Lease Agreement, provided that the City shall
satisfy all of the following requirements which are hereby declared to be conditions precedent to such
substitution or release:

Released Premises, as applicable;
(c) (i) In the case of a substitution, the City shall determine and certify to the
Authority and the Trustee that the fair rental value of the Substitute Leased Premises is at least equal to
the remaining Lease Payments after such substitution and that the Substitute Leased Premises is
essential to the governmental functions of the City;
(ii) In the case of a release, the City shall determine and certify to the Authority and
the Trustee that the fair rental value of the remaining Leased Premises after removal of the Released
Premises is at least equal to the then remaining Lease Payments;

Trustee that the Substitute Leased Premises serve the public purposes of the City and constitute property
which the City is permitted to lease under the laws of the State;

opinion of Bond Counsel stating that such substitution or release is permitted under the Lease
Agreement and does not cause interest on the Bonds to become includable in the gross income of the
Bond Owners for federal income tax purposes.
From and after the date on which all of the foregoing conditions precedent to such substitution or
release are satisfied, the Term of the Lease Agreement shall cease with respect to the Former Leased Premises

substitution or release.
MAINTENANCE; TAXES; INSURANCE; USE
LIMITATIONS; AND OTHER MATTERS
Maintenance, Utilities, Taxes and Assessments
Throughout the Term of the Lease Agreement, as part of the consideration for the rental of the Leased
Premises, all improvement, repair and maintenance of the Leased Premises shall be the responsibility of the City

Premises which may include, without limitation, janitor service, security, power, gas, telephone, light, heating,
water and all other utility services, and shall pay for or otherwise arrange for the payment of the cost of the
repair and replacement of the Leased Premises resulting from ordinary wear and tear or want of care on the part
of the City or any assignee or sublessee thereof. In exchange for the Lease Payments provided in the Lease
Agreement, the Authority agrees to provide only the Leased Premises, as more specifically set forth in the Lease
Agreement. The City waives the benefits of subsections 1 and 2 of Section 1932 of the California Civil Code,
but such waiver shall not limit any of the rights of the City under the terms of the Lease Agreement.
The City shall also pay or cause to be paid all taxes and assessments of any type or nature, if any,

paid during the Term of the Lease Agreement as and when the same become due.
The City may, at the City’s expense and in its name, in good faith contest any such taxes, assessments,
utility and other charges and, in the event of any such contest, may permit the taxes, assessments or other
charges so contested to remain unpaid during the period of such contest and any appeal therefrom unless the
Authority shall notify the City that, in the opinion of independent counsel, by nonpayment of any such items, the
interest of the Authority in the Leased Premises will be materially endangered or the Leased Premises or any
part thereof will be subject to loss or forfeiture, in which event the City shall promptly pay such taxes,
assessments or charges or provide the Authority with full security against any loss which may result from
nonpayment, in form satisfactory to the Authority.
Modification of Leased Premises
The City shall, at its own expense, have the right to make additions, modifications and improvements to
the Leased Premises. All additions, modifications and improvements to the Leased Premises shall thereafter
comprise part of the Leased Premises and be subject to the provisions of the Lease Agreement. Such additions,
modifications and improvements shall not in any way damage the Leased Premises or cause the Leased
Premises to be used for purposes other than those authorized under the provisions of State and federal law; and
the City shall file with the Trustee and the Leased Premises, upon completion of any additions, modifications
and improvements made thereto pursuant to the Lease Agreement, which shall be of a value that is not
substantially less than the value of the Leased Premises immediately prior to the making of such additions,
modifications and improvements. The City will not permit any mechanic’s or other lien to be established or
remain against the Leased Premises for labor or materials furnished in connection with any remodeling,
additions, modifications, improvements, repairs, renewals or replacements made by the City pursuant to the
Lease Agreement; provided that if any such lien is established and the City shall first notify or cause to be
notified the Authority of the City’s intention to do so, the City may in good faith contest any lien filed or
established against the Leased Premises, and in such event may permit the items so contested to remain
undischarged and unsatisfied during the period of such contest and any appeal therefrom and shall provide the
Authority with full security against any loss or forfeiture which might arise from the nonpayment of any such
C-37
item, in form satisfactory to the Authority. The Authority will cooperate fully in any such contest, upon the
request and at the expense of the City.
Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance
The City shall maintain or cause to be maintained throughout the Term of the Lease Agreement, but
only if and to the extent available from reputable insurers at reasonable cost in the reasonable opinion of the
City, a standard comprehensive general insurance policy or policies in protection of the Authority, City, and
their respective members, officers, agents, employees and assigns. Said policy or policies shall provide
coverage in the minimum liability limits of $1,000,000 for personal injury or death of each person and
$3,000,000 for personal injury or deaths of two or more persons in each accident or event, and in a minimum
amount of $150,000 of damage to property resulting from each accident or event. Such public liability and
property damage insurance may, however, be in the form of a single limit policy or policies in the amount of
$3,000,000 (subject to a deductible clause of not to exceed $150,000) covering all such risks. Such policy or
policies shall provide coverage in such liability limits and be subject to such deductibles as the City shall deem
adequate and prudent. Such insurance may be maintained as part of or in conjunction with any other insurance
coverage carried by the City, and may be maintained in whole or in part in the form of self-insurance by the
City, subject to the provisions of the Lease Agreement, or in the form of the participation by the City in a joint
powers agency or other program providing pooled insurance. In the case of the City’s self-insurance of public
liability and workers’ compensation, the City may maintain a self-insured retention, and pay up to $500,000 of
each liability claim and up to $350,000 of each worker’s compensation claim, so long as the provisions of the
Lease Agreement. The proceeds of such liability insurance shall be applied by the City toward extinguishment
or satisfaction of the liability with respect to which the insurance proceeds shall have been paid.
Casualty Insurance
The City shall procure and maintain, or cause to be procured and maintained, throughout the Term of
the Lease Agreement, insurance against loss or damage to any Facilities by fire and lightning, with extended
coverage and vandalism and malicious mischief insurance. Said extended coverage insurance, if required, shall,
as nearly as practicable, cover loss or damage by explosion, windstorm, riot, aircraft, vehicle damage, smoke
and such other hazards as are normally covered by such insurance, and shall include earthquake coverage if such
coverage is available at reasonable cost from reputable insurers in the judgment of the City’s risk manager. Such
insurance shall be in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (a) one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement
cost of the Facilities, or (b) the aggregate unpaid principal components of the Lease Payments allocable to the
Facilities. Such insurance may be subject to such deductibles as the City shall deem prudent. Such insurance
may be maintained as part of or in conjunction with any other insurance coverage carried by the City, and may
be maintained in whole or in part in the form of the participation by the City in a joint powers agency or other
program providing pooled insurance. The Net Proceeds of such insurance shall be applied as provided in the
Lease Agreement.
Each policy of insurance to be maintained by the City pursuant to the Lease Agreement shall (a) provide
for the full payment of insurance proceeds up to the applicable dollar limit in connection with damage to the
Leased Premises and shall, under no circumstances, be contingent upon the degree of damage sustained at other
facilities owned or leased by the City; and (b) explicitly waive any co-insurance penalty.
Rental Interruption Insurance
The City shall procure and maintain, or cause to be procured and maintained, throughout the Term of
the Lease Agreement, rental interruption or use and occupancy insurance to cover loss, total or partial, of the use
of any Facilities to be constructed on the Leased Premises, as a result of any of the hazards covered by the
insurance required by the Lease Agreement, in an amount at least equal to the maximum Lease Payments
allocable to the Facilities coming due and payable during any future twenty-four (24) month period. Such
insurance may be maintained as part of or in conjunction with any other insurance coverage carried by the City,
C-38
and may be maintained in whole or in part in the form of the participation by the City in a joint powers agency
or other program providing pooled insurance. The proceeds of such insurance, if any, shall be paid to the
Trustee and deposited in the Bond Fund, and shall be applied for the uses and purposes set forth in the
Indenture.
Recordation of the Lease Agreement; Title Insurance
On or before the Closing Date the City shall, at its expense, (a) cause the Lease Agreement, or a
memorandum thereof in form and substance approved by Bond Counsel, to be recorded in the office of the San
Diego County Recorder and (b) obtain a CLTA policy of title insurance insuring the City’s leasehold estate
under the Lease Agreement, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, in an amount at least equal to the
aggregate principal amount of the Bonds. All Net Proceeds received under said policy shall be deposited with
the Trustee in the Redemption Fund and shall be applied to the redemption of the Bonds pursuant to the
Indenture.
Net Proceeds of Insurance; Form of Policies
(a) Each policy of insurance maintained pursuant to the Lease Agreement shall name the Trustee as
loss payee so as to provide that all proceeds thereunder shall be payable to the Trustee and shall name the
Authority, the City and the Trustee as insureds. The City shall pay or cause to be paid when due the premiums
for all insurance policies required by the Lease Agreement. All such policies shall provide that the Trustee shall
be given thirty (30) days’ notice of each expiration, any intended cancellation thereof or reduction of the
coverage provided thereby. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the sufficiency or amount of any insurance
or self-insurance required in the Lease Agreement and shall be fully protected in accepting payment on account
of such insurance or any adjustment, compromise or settlement of any loss. The City shall cause to be delivered
to the Trustee annually, no later than May 1 in each year, beginning on May 1, 2017, a certificate stating that all
of the insurance policies required by the Lease Agreement are in full force and effect and identifying whether
any such insurance is then maintained in the form of self-insurance.
(b) In the event that any insurance maintained pursuant to the Lease Agreement shall be provided in
the form of self-insurance, the City shall file with the Trustee annually, within ninety (90) days following the
close of each Fiscal Year, a statement of the risk manager of the City or an independent insurance adviser
engaged by the City identifying the extent of such self-insurance and stating the determination that the City
maintains sufficient reserves with respect thereto. In the event that any such insurance shall be provided in the
form of self-insurance by the City, the City shall not be obligated to make any payment with respect to any
insured event except from such reserves. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the sufficiency or adequacy of
any insurance required in the Lease Agreement and shall be fully protected in accepting payment on account of
such insurance or any adjustment, compromise or settlement of any loss agreed to by the Trustee.
(c) If the City shall fail to perform any of its obligations under the Lease Agreement, the Authority
or the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, take such action as may be necessary to cure such failure,
including the advancement of money, and the City shall be obligated to repay all such advances as soon as
possible, with interest at the rate payable by the Authority on the Bonds from the date of the advance to the date
of repayment.
Installation of Personal Property
The City may, at any time and from time to time, in its sole discretion and at its own expense, install or
permit to be installed items of equipment or other personal property in or upon any portion of the Leased
Premises. All such items shall remain the sole property of the City, in which neither the Authority nor the
Trustee shall have any interest, and may be modified or removed by the City at any time provided that the City
shall repair and restore any and all damage to the Leased Premises resulting from the installation, modification
or removal of any such items. Nothing in the Lease Agreement shall prevent the City from purchasing or leasing
C-39
items to be installed pursuant to the Lease Agreement under a lease or conditional sale agreement, or subject to a
vendor’s lien or security agreement, as security for the unpaid portion of the purchase price thereof, provided
that no such lien or security interest shall attach to any part of the Leased Premises.
Liens
Neither the City nor the Authority shall, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist
any mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, encumbrance or claim on or with respect to any portion of the Leased
Premises, other than the respective rights of the Authority and the City as provided in the Lease Agreement and
other than Permitted Encumbrances. Except as expressly provided in the Lease Agreement, the City and the
Authority shall promptly, at their own expense, take such action as may be necessary to duly discharge or
remove any such mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, encumbrance or claim, for which it is responsible, if the same
shall arise at any time. The City shall reimburse the Authority for any expense incurred by it in order to
discharge or remove any such mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, encumbrance or claim.
Tax Covenants
(a) Private Activity Bond Limitation. The City shall assure that the proceeds of the Bonds are not
so used as to cause the Bonds to satisfy the private business tests of Section 141(b) of the Tax Code or the
private loan financing test of Section 141(c) of the Tax Code.
(b) Federal Guarantee Prohibition. The City shall not take any action or permit or suffer any action
to be taken if the result of the same would be to cause any of the Bonds to be “federally guaranteed” within the
meaning of Section 149(b) of the Tax Code.
(c) No Arbitrage. The City shall not take, or permit or suffer to be taken by the Trustee or
otherwise, any action with respect to the proceeds of the Bonds which, if such action had been reasonably
expected to have been taken, or had been deliberately and intentionally taken, on the Closing Date would have
caused the Bonds to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Tax Code.
(d) Maintenance of Tax-Exemption. The City shall take all actions necessary to assure the
exclusion of interest on the Bonds from the gross income of the Owners of the Bonds to the same extent as such
interest is permitted to be excluded from gross income under the Tax Code as in effect on the Closing Date.
Payment of Rebatable Amounts
The City agrees to furnish all information to, and cooperate fully with, the Authority and their respective
officers, employees, agents and attorneys, in order to assure compliance with the provisions of the Indenture. In
the event that the Authority shall determine, pursuant to the Indenture, that any amounts are due and payable to
the United States of America thereunder and that neither the Authority nor the Trustee has on deposit an amount
of available moneys (excluding moneys on deposit in the funds and accounts established for the payment of the
principal of or interest or redemption premium, if any, on the Bonds) to make such payment, the Authority shall
promptly notify the City of such fact. Upon receipt of any such notice, the City shall promptly pay the amounts
determined by the Authority to be due and payable to the United States of America under the Indenture, such
payments to be made in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Tax Code.
Continuing Disclosure
The City hereby covenants and agrees that it will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of its
Undertaking to Provide Continuing Disclosure with respect to the Bonds, as originally executed and as it may be
amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Lease Agreement, failure of the City to comply with such Undertaking to Provide Continuing Disclosure shall
not be considered an Event of Default; however, any Owner may take such actions, as provided in such
C-40
Undertaking to Provide Continuing Disclosure, as may be necessary and appropriate to cause the City to comply
with its obligations under such Undertaking to Provide Continuing Disclosure.
DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION AND EMINENT DOMAIN;
USE OF NET PROCEEDS
Eminent Domain
If all of the Leased Premises shall be taken permanently under the power of eminent domain or sold to a
government threatening to exercise the power of eminent domain, the Term of the Lease Agreement shall cease
as of the day possession shall be so taken. If less than all of the Leased Premises shall be taken permanently, or
if all of the Leased Premises or any part thereof shall be taken temporarily under the power of eminent domain,
(a) the Lease Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be terminated by virtue of such
taking and the parties waive the benefit of any law to the contrary, and (b) there shall be a partial abatement of
Lease Payments in an amount to be agreed upon by the City and the Authority such that the resulting Lease
Payments for the Leased Premises, represent fair consideration for the use and occupancy of the remaining
usable portion of the Leased Premises.
Application of Net Proceeds
(a) From Insurance Award. The Net Proceeds of any insurance award resulting from any damage
to or destruction of the Leased Premises by fire or other casualty shall be deposited in its Insurance and
Condemnation Fund or the Redemption Fund, as applicable, by the Trustee and applied in accordance with the
Indenture.
(b) From Eminent Domain Award. The Net Proceeds of any eminent domain award resulting from
any event described in the Lease Agreement shall be deposited in the Insurance and Condemnation Fund or the
Redemption Fund, as applicable, by the Trustee and applied in accordance with the Indenture.
Abatement of Lease Payments in the Event of Damage or Destruction
The Lease Payments allocable to the Leased Premises shall be abated during any period in which by
reason of damage or destruction (other than by eminent domain which is provided for in the Lease Agreement)
there is substantial interference with the use and occupancy by the City of the Leased Premises or any portion
thereof. The amounts of the Lease Payments under such circumstances may not be less than the amounts of the
unpaid Lease Payments, unless such unpaid amounts are determined to be greater than the fair rental value of
the portions of the Leased Premises not damaged or destroyed, based upon the opinion of an MAI appraiser with
expertise in valuing such properties or other appropriate method of valuation, in which event the Lease
Payments shall be abated such that they represent said fair rental value. Such abatement shall continue for the
period commencing with such damage or destruction and ending with the substantial completion of the work of
repair or reconstruction. In the event of any such damage or destruction, the Lease Agreement shall continue in
full force and effect and the City waives any right to terminate the Lease Agreement by virtue of any such
damage and destruction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there may be no abatement of Lease Payments to the
extent that (a) the proceeds of rental interruption insurance, are available to pay Lease Payments, or (b) amounts
in the Bond Fund are available to pay Debt Service payable from Lease Payments which would otherwise be
abated.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES; ACCESS
Disclaimer of Warranties
Neither the Authority nor the Trustee makes any warranty or representation, either express or implied,
as to the value, design, condition, merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose or fitness for the use
contemplated by the City of the Leased Premises, or any other representation or warranty with respect to the
C-41
Leased Premises. In no event shall the Authority, the Trustee, and their respective assigns be liable for

may be reasonably necessary to cause the proper maintenance of the Leased Premises in the event of failure by
the City to perform its obligations under the Lease Agreement.
Release and Indemnification Covenants
The City shall and hereby agrees to indemnify and save the Authority, the Trustee, and their respective
officers, agents, successors and assigns, harmless from and against all claims, losses and damages, including
legal fees and expenses, arising out of (a) the use, maintenance, condition or management of, or from any work

period of thirty (30) days after written notice specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied
has been given to the City by the Authority, or the Trustee; provided, however, that if in the reasonable
opinion of the City the failure stated in the notice can be corrected, but not within such sixty (60) day
period, such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default if the City shall commence to cure such
failure within such sixty (60) day period and thereafter diligently and in good faith shall cure such
failure in a reasonable period of time.
(d) The filing by the City of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or failure by the City
promptly to lift any execution, garnishment or attachment, or adjudication of the City as a bankrupt, or
assignment by the City for the benefit of creditors, or the entry by the City into an agreement of
composition with creditors, or the approval by a court of competent jurisdiction of a petition applicable
to the City in any proceedings instituted under the provisions of applicable federal bankruptcy law, or
under any similar acts which may hereafter be enacted.
Remedies on Default
Whenever any Event of Default referred to in the Lease Agreement shall have happened and be
continuing, it shall be lawful for the Authority to exercise any and all remedies available pursuant to law or
granted pursuant to the Lease Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
the Lease Agreement or in the Indenture, there shall be no right under any circumstances to accelerate the Lease
Payments or otherwise declare any Lease Payments not then in default to be immediately due and payable or to
terminate the Lease Agreement or to cause the leasehold interest of the Authority or the subleasehold interest of
the City in the Site to be sold, assigned or otherwise alienated. Each and every covenant of the Lease Agreement
to be kept and performed by the City is expressly made a condition and upon the breach thereof the Authority
may exercise any and all rights of entry and re-entry upon the Leased Premises. In the event of such default and
notwithstanding any re-entry by the Authority, the City shall, as expressly provided in the Lease Agreement,
continue to remain liable for the payment of the Lease Payments and/or damages for breach of the Lease
Agreement and the performance of all conditions contained in the Lease Agreement, and in any event such rent
and damages shall be payable to the Authority at the time and in the manner as therein provided, to wit:
(a) The City agrees to and shall remain liable for the payment of all Lease Payments and
the performance of all conditions contained in the Lease Agreement and shall reimburse the Authority
for any deficiency arising out of the re-leasing of the Leased Premises, or, in the event the Authority is
unable to relet the Leased Premises, then for the full amount of all Lease Payments to the end of the
Term of the Lease Agreement, but said Lease Payments and/or deficiency shall be payable only at the
same time and in the same manner as provided in the Lease Agreement for the payment of Lease
Payments under the Lease Agreement, notwithstanding such entry or re-entry by the Authority or any
suit in unlawful detainer, or otherwise, brought by the Authority for the purpose of effecting such re-
entry or obtaining possession of the Leased Premises or the exercise of any other remedy by the
Authority.
(b) The City hereby irrevocably appoints the Authority as the agent and attorney-in-fact of
the City to enter upon and re-lease the Leased Premises in the event of default by the City in the
performance of any covenants contained in the Lease Agreement to be performed by the City and to
remove all personal property whatsoever situated upon the Leased Premises to place such property in
storage or other suitable place in the County of San Diego, for the account of and at the expense of the
City, and the City hereby exempts and agrees to save harmless the Authority from any costs, loss or
damage whatsoever arising or occasioned by any such entry upon and re-leasing of the Leased Premises
C-44
and the removal and storage of such property by the Authority or its duly authorized agents in
accordance with the provisions contained in the Lease Agreement.
(c) The City hereby waives any and all claims for damages caused or which may be caused
by the Authority in re-entering and taking possession of the Leased Premises as provided in the Lease
Agreement and all claims for damages that may result from the destruction of or injury to the Leased
Premises and all claims for damages to or loss of any property belonging to the City that may be in or
upon the Leased Premises.
(d) The City agrees that the terms of the Lease Agreement constitute full and sufficient
notice of the right of the Authority to re-lease the Leased Premises in the event of such re-entry without
effecting a surrender of the Lease Agreement, and further agrees that no acts of the Authority in
effecting such releasing shall constitute a surrender or termination of the Lease Agreement irrespective
of the term for which such re-leasing is made or the terms and conditions of such re-leasing, or
otherwise.
(e) The City further waives the right to any rental obtained by the Authority in excess of
the Lease Payments and hereby conveys and releases such excess to the Authority as compensation to
the Authority for its services in re-leasing the Leased Premises.
No Remedy Exclusive
No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Authority in the Lease Agreement is intended to be
exclusive and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall, except as therein expressly provided to the
contrary, be in addition to every other remedy given under the Lease Agreement or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair
any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be
exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle the Authority to
exercise any remedy reserved to it in the Lease Agreement it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other
than such notice as may be required in the Lease Agreement or by law.
Agreement to Pay Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses
In the event either party to the Lease Agreement should default under any of the provisions thereof and
the nondefaulting party should employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the collection of moneys or the
enforcement or performance or observance of any obligation or agreement on the part of the defaulting party
contained in the Lease Agreement, the defaulting party agrees that it will on demand therefor pay to the
nondefaulting party the reasonable fees of such attorneys and such other expenses so incurred by the
nondefaulting party.
No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver
In the event any agreement contained in the Lease Agreement should be breached by either party and
thereafter waived by the other party, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not
be deemed to waive any other breach under the Lease Agreement.
Trustee and Bondholder to Exercise Rights
Such rights and remedies as are given to the Authority under the Lease Agreement have been assigned
by the Authority to the Trustee under the Indenture, to which assignment the City hereby consents. Such rights
and remedies shall be exercised by the Trustee and the Owners of the Bonds as provided in the Indenture.
C-45

APPENDIX D
FORM OF OPINION OF BOND COUNSEL
March 2, 2017
Encinitas Public Financing Authority
505 South Vulcan Avenue
Encinitas, CA 92024
Re: $11,955,000 Encinitas Public Financing Authority 2017 Lease Revenue Refunding
Bonds Series, A (Park Project)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have reviewed the Constitution and laws of the State of California and certain proceedings taken by
the Encinitas Public Financing Authority (the “Authority”) in connection with the issuance by the Authority of
the Encinitas Public Financing Authority 2017 Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series A (Park Project) (the
“Bonds”), pursuant to the provisions of Article 4 of Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the California
Government Code (the “Law”) and pursuant to an Indenture of Trust, dated as of March 1, 2017 (the “Indenture
of Trust”), by and between MUFG Union Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), and the Authority. The
proceeds of the Bonds will be applied by the Authority to refinance improvements to the City’s public library
(the “City”). The Authority and the City have entered into a Second Amended and Restated Lease Agreement,
dated as of March 1, 2017 (the “Lease Agreement”), whereby the City has leased from the Authority certain
City facilities and property (the “Leased Premises”) and the City will make Lease Payments for the Leased
Premises to the Authority. Pursuant to the Indenture of Trust, the Lease Payments have been assigned by the
Authority to the Trustee and will be used by the Trustee to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds. We
have examined the Indenture of Trust, the Lease Agreement and such certified proceedings and other documents
and materials as we deem necessary to render this opinion.
As to questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon the certified proceedings and other
certifications of public officials furnished to us without undertaking to verify the same by independent
investigation.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion, under existing law, that:
The Authority is a joint powers authority duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State
of California, with power to enter into the Indenture of Trust and the Lease Agreement, to perform the
agreements on its part contained therein and to issue the Bonds;
The Bonds constitute the valid and legally binding special obligations of the Authority enforceable in
accordance with their terms and payable solely from the sources provided therefor in the Indenture of Trust;
The Indenture of Trust and the Lease Agreement have been duly approved by the Authority and
constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of the Authority enforceable against the Authority in
accordance with their respective terms;
The Indenture of Trust establishes a lien on and pledge of the Revenues (as such term is defined in the
Indenture of Trust) which consist of Lease Payments and other funds pledged thereby for the security of the
Bonds, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture of Trust;
Interest on the Bonds is exempt from California personal income taxation.
D-2
The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), sets forth certain investment, rebate and
related requirements which must be met subsequent to the delivery of the Bonds for the interest received by the
owners of the Bonds to be and remain excluded from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation.
Noncompliance with such requirements could cause the interest on the Bonds to be subject to federal income
taxation retroactive to the date of delivery of the Bonds. Pursuant to the Indenture of Trust the Authority has
covenanted to comply with the requirements of the Code. Assuming compliance with the aforementioned
covenant, we are of the opinion that, under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and court decisions, the interest
on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation. Interest on the Bonds is
not a specific preference item for purposes of the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code. We are
further of the opinion that interest on the Bonds received by corporations will be included in corporate adjusted
current earnings, a portion of which may increase the alternative minimum taxable income of such corporations.
Although the interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation, the
accrual or receipt of interest on the Bonds, or any portion thereof, may otherwise affect the federal income tax
liability of the recipient. The extent of these other tax consequences will depend on the recipient’s particular tax
status or other items of income or deduction. We express no opinion regarding any such consequences.
Our opinions, expressed herein, may be affected by action taken (or not taken) on events occurring (or
not occurring) after the date hereof. We have not undertaken to determine, or to inform any person, whether any
such actions or events are taken or occur.
The rights of the owners of the Bonds and the enforceability of the Bonds and the Indenture of Trust
may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights
heretofore or hereafter enacted and their enforcement may be subject to the exercise of judicial discretion in
accordance with general principles of equity.
Respectfully submitted,

Section 6. Termination of Reporting Obligation. The City’s and the Authority’s obligations

“obligated person” within the meaning of the Rule.
Section 7. Enforcement. The obligations of the City and the Authority hereunder shall be for the
benefit of the Participating Underwriter and the Owners of the Bonds, including Beneficial Owners of the
Bonds. Unless otherwise required by law, no owners of the Bonds shall be entitled to damages for the City’s or
the Authority’s non-compliance with its undertakings set forth in this Disclosure Agreement; however, the

specific performance of such undertakings by any judicial proceeding available. Breach of the undertakings of

Participating Underwriter, Owners of the Bonds, including Beneficial Owners.
Section 8. Dissemination Agent; Duties. The City or the Authority may, from time to time,
appoint or engage a Dissemination Agent to assist the City in carrying out its obligations under this Disclosure
Agreement, and may discharge any such Dissemination Agent, with or without appointing a successor
Dissemination Agent.
The Dissemination Agent shall have only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Disclosure

obligation to review any information provided to it hereunder or shall be deemed to be acting in any fiduciary
capacity for the Authority, the owners of the Bonds or any other party. Any company succeeding to all or
substantially all of the Dissemination Agent’s corporate trust business shall be the successor to the

Section 9. Amendment; Waiver. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Disclosure
Agreement, the City and the Authority may amend this Disclosure Agreement, and any provision of this
Disclosure Agreement may be waived, if (i) such amendment or waiver does not, in and of itself, cause the
E-5
undertakings herein to violate the Rule, but taking into account any subsequent change in or official
interpretation of the Rule and the amendment or waiver either (i) is approved by the Owners of the Bonds in the
same manner as provided in the Indenture for amendments to the Indenture with the consent of Owners, or (ii)
does not, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, materially impair the interests of the Owners or
Beneficial Owners of the Bonds. The City shall provide notice of any such amendment or waiver to each
Repository.
In the event of any amendment or waiver of a provision of this Disclosure Agreement, the City shall
describe such amendment in the next Annual Report, and shall include, as applicable, a narrative explanation of
the reason for the amendment or waiver and its impact on the type (or, in the case of a change of accounting
principles, on the presentation) of financial information or operating data being presented by the City. In
addition, if the amendment related to the accounting principles to be followed in preparing financial statements,
(i) notice of such change shall be given in the same manner as for a Listed Event under Section 5 and (ii) the
Annual Report for the year in which the change is made should represent a comparison (in narrative form and
also, if feasible, in quantitative form) between the financial statements as prepared on the basis of the new
accounting principles and those prepared on the basis of the formed accounting principles.
Section 10. Default. In the event of a failure of the City or the Authority to comply with any
provision of this Disclosure Agreement, the Trustee at the written direction of the Participating Underwriter or
the Owners of at least 25% aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Bonds, shall, or any Owner or Beneficial
Owner of the Bonds may take such actions as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking mandate or
specific performance by court order, to cause the City to comply with its obligations under this Disclosure
Agreement, but only to the extent funds have been provided to it or it has been otherwise indemnified to its
satisfaction from any cost, liability, expense or additional charges of the Trustee whatsoever, including, without
limitation, fees and expenses of its attorney. A default under this Disclosure Agreement shall not be deemed an
Event of Default under the Indenture, and the sole remedy under this Disclosure Agreement shall be an action to
compel performance.
Section 11. Additional Information. Nothing in this Disclosure Agreement shall be deemed to
prevent the City of the Authority from disseminating any other information, using the means of dissemination
set forth in this Disclosure Agreement or any other means of communication, or including any other information
in any Annual Report or notice of occurrence of an event other than a Significant Event, in addition to that
which is required by this Disclosure Agreement. If the City chooses to include any information in any Annual
Report or notice of the occurrence of an event other than a Significant Event in addition to what is specifically
required by this Disclosure Agreement, the City shall have no obligation under this Disclosure Agreement to
update such information or include it in any future Annual Report or notice of occurrence of a Significant Event.
Section 12. Beneficiaries. This Disclosure Agreement shall inure solely to the benefit of the City,
the Authority, the Trustee, the Dissemination Agent, the Underwriter and Owners and Beneficial Owners from
time to time of the Bonds, and shall create not rights in any other person or entity.

APPENDIX F
BOOK-ENTRY PROVISIONS
The information in this Appendix concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry only system has been obtained
from sources that the Authority and the Underwriter believe to be reliable, but neither the Authority or the
Underwriter take any responsibility for the completeness or accuracy thereof. The following description of the
procedures and record keeping with respect to beneficial ownership interests in the Bonds, payment of
principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to DTC Participants or Beneficial Owners, confirmation
and transfers of beneficial ownership interests in the Bonds and other related transactions by and between DTC,
the DTC Participants and the Beneficial Owners is based solely on information provided by DTC.
The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, NY, will act as securities depository for the
Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s
partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One
fully registered bond will be issued for each annual maturity of the Bonds, each in the aggregate principal
amount of such annual maturity, and will be deposited with DTC.
DTC, the world’s largest securities depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the
New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a
member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform
Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S.
and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100
countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade
settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through
electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This
eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and
non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other
organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”).
DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing
Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated
subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities
brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial
relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has a Standard
& Poor’s rating of AA+. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.
Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will
receive a credit for the Bonds on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Bond
(“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial
Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however,
expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of
their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the
transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books
of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive
bonds representing their ownership interests in the Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system
for the Bonds is discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in
the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized
representative of DTC. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or
such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the
F-2
actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to
whose accounts such Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and
Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants
to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be
governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect
from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to
them of notices of significant events with respect to the Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and
proposed amendments to the Bond documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to ascertain
that the nominee holding the Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial
Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar
and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.
Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Bonds within a maturity are being
redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such
maturity to be redeemed.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Bonds
unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures. Under its usual
procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the Authority as soon as possible after the record date. The
Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts
Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Bonds will be made to Cede & Co.,
or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit
Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the
Authority or the Trustee, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records.
Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary
practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street
name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Trustee, or the Authority, subject
to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption
proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an
authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the Authority or the Trustee, disbursement of such
payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the
Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
A Bond Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Bonds purchased or tendered, through its
Participant, to the Trustee, and shall effect delivery of such Bonds by causing the Direct Participant to transfer
the Participant’s interest in the Bonds, on DTC’s records, to the Trustee. The requirement for physical delivery
of Bonds in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the
ownership rights in the Bonds are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC’s records and followed by a book-
entry credit of tendered Bonds to the Trustee’s DTC account.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by
giving reasonable notice to the Authority or the Trustee. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor
depository is not obtained, physical certificates are required to be printed and delivered.
The Authority may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry only transfers through DTC
(or a successor securities depository). In that event, bonds will be printed and delivered to DTC.
THE TRUSTEE, AS LONG AS A BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM IS USED FOR THE BONDS,
WILL SEND ANY NOTICE OF REDEMPTION OR OTHER NOTICES TO OWNERS ONLY TO DTC.
ANY FAILURE OF DTC TO ADVISE ANY DTC PARTICIPANT, OR OF ANY DTC PARTICIPANT TO
NOTIFY ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER, OF ANY NOTICE AND ITS CONTENT OR EFFECT WILL NOT
F-3
AFFECT THE VALIDITY OF SUFFICIENCY OF THE PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THE
REDEMPTION OF THE BONDS CALLED FOR REDEMPTION OR OF ANY OTHER ACTION
PREMISED ON SUCH NOTICE.
