NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM
DESERT DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE, AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Intention. In accordance with the request set forth in the Petition, the City
Council hereby declares its intention to conduct proceedings for the
formation of a community facilities district under the terms of the Act.
Section 2. Name of District. The name of the proposed community facilities district is
"City of Palm Desert Community Facilities District No. 2005-1 (University
Park)" (the "District").
Section 3. Boundaries of District. The exterior boundaries of the District and the
zones therein are shown on the map now on file in the office of the City
Clerk entitled "Map of Proposed Boundaries, Community Facilities District
No. 2005-1 (University Park)" (the "Map"). The Map indicates, by a
boundary line, the extent of the territory included in the proposed District
and the extent of the territory in each zone and shall govern for all details

RESOLUTION NO. 05-87
date and adoption of this Resolution. The City Clerk shall file the original
of the Map in her office and, within fifteen (15) days after the adoption of

the records of the County Recorder, County of Riverside, State of
California, and in any event the Map shall be filed no later than fifteen (15)
days before the public hearing specified in Section 7 below.
Section 4. Facilities. The types of public facilities proposed to be provided to serve
the District and to be financed under the Act shall consist of those facilities
set forth on Exhibit "A", attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference. The Facilities have a useful life of five years or longer and are
public facilities as defined by the Act, which the City, the Coachella Valley
Water District, and the Palm Springs Unified School District are authorized
by law to construct, acquire, own, operate, or contribute revenue to. The
City Council intends to execute a joint community facilities agreement with
the Coachella Valley Water District and the Palm Springs Unified School
District. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the description
of the Facilities herein is sufficiently informative to allow taxpayers within
the proposed District to understand what the funds of the District may be
used to finance. The City Council hereby finds that the proposed Facilities
are necessary to meet increased demands placed upon the City as a
result of development occurring in the proposed District.
Section 5. Special Tax.
a. Except where funds are otherwise available, it is the intention of the
City Council to levy annually in accordance with procedures contained
in the Act a special tax (the "Special Tax") within the District sufficient
to pay for (1) the Facilities, and (2) the principal and interest and other
periodic costs on bonds or other indebtedness issued by the District to
finance the Facilities, including without limitation, the establishment
and replenishment of any reserve funds deemed necessary by the
District, any remarketing, credit enhancement and liquidity facility fees
(including such fees for instruments which serve as the basis of a
reserve fund in lieu of cash), financing of the costs associated with the
issuance of the bonds, and all other costs necessary to finance the
Facilities which are permitted to be financed pursuant to the Act. The
Special Tax will be secured by recordation of a continuing lien against
all non-exempt real property in the District and will be collected in the
same manner as ordinary ad valorem property taxes are collected, or
in such other manner as may be provided by the City Council
including, without limitation, direct billing of the affected property
owner, and shall be subject to the same penalties, procedure, sale and
lien priority in case of delinquency as applicable for ad valorem
property taxes. In the first year in which the Special Tax is levied, the
levy shall include a sum sufficient to repay to the City all amounts, if

any, transferred to the District pursuant to Section 53314 of the Act
and interest thereon.
b. The proposed rate and method of apportionment of the Special Tax
among parcels of real property in the District (the "Rate and Method"),
in sufficient detail to allow each resident or landowner within the
proposed District to estimate the maximum amount such resident or
owner will have to pay, is shown in Exhibit "B," attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference. The City Council hereby determines
the Rate and Method set forth in Exhibit "B" to be reasonable. The
obligation to pay the Special Tax may be prepaid as set forth in Exhibit
"B."
c. In the case of any Special Tax to pay for the Facilities to be levied
against any parcel used for private residential purposes: (i) the
maximum Special Tax shall be specified as a dollar amount which shall
be calculated and thereby established not later than the date on which
the parcel is first subject to the tax because of its use for private
residential purposes and which amount shall not be increased over
time over two percent (2%) per year; (ii) the tax year after which no
further Special Tax subject to this sentence shall be levied or collected
shall be as set forth in Exhibit "B" hereto; and (iii) under no
circumstances will the Special Tax levied against any parcel used for
private residential purposes be increased as a consequence of
delinquency or default by the owner of any other parcel within the
District by more than ten percent (10%). For the purposes hereof, a
parcel is used for "private residential purposes" not later than the date
on which an occupancy permit for private residential use is issued.
Bonds. It is the intent of the City Council, acting as the legislative body of
the District, to cause one or more series of bonds to be issued under the
Act by the District to finance, in whole or in part, the Facilities. If so
issued, bonds will be in the aggregate principal amount of not to exceed
$70 million. All such bonds issued by the District shall bear interest
payable semi-annually or in such other manner as the City Council shall
determine at a maximum interest rate not in excess of twelve percent
(12%) per annum or such rate not in excess of the maximum rate
permitted by law at the time the bonds are issued, and the term of the
bonds of each series shall not exceed forty (40) years from the date of
issuance of such series thereof or such longer term as is then permitted
by law.
Section 7. Hearing. A public hearing on the establishment of the District, the extent
of the District, the furnishing of Facilities to serve the District, and the
proposed Rate and Method (the "Hearing") shall be held on December 8,

RESOLUTION NO. 05-87
For each Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property classified as Non -
Residential Property or for each Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property
to be classified as Non -Residential Property within the Final Subdivision
Map area, the Backup Special Tax shall be determined by multiplying
$21,000 for Zone A, $27,000 for Zone B, $27,000 for Zone C, $23,000 for
Zone D, and $28,000 for Zone E by the total Acreage of any such
Assessor's Parcel.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Assessor's Parcels of Residential Property,
Non -Residential Property, or Undeveloped Property for which the Backup
Special Tax has been determined are subsequently changed or modified by
recordation of a new or amended Final Subdivision Map, then the Backup
Special Tax applicable to such Assessor's Parcels shall be recalculated to
equal the amount of Backup Special Tax that would have been generated if
such change did not take place.
2. Undeveloped Property and Provisional Undeveloped Property
The Maximum Special Tax for each Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property and
Provisional Undeveloped Property shall be $21,000 per Acre for Zone A, $27,000 per
Acre for Zone B, $27,000 per Acre for Zone C, $23,000 per Acre for Zone D, and
$28,000 per Acre for Zone E.
D. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Commencing with Fiscal Year 2006-2007 and for each following Fiscal Year, the
Council shall determine the Special Tax Requirement and shall levy the Special Tax
until the amount of Special Taxes equals the Special Tax Requirement. The Special
Tax shall be levied each Fiscal Year as follows:
First: The Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on all Developed Property at a
rate up to 100% of the applicable Assigned Special Tax to satisfy the Special Tax
Requirement.
Second: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after
the first step has been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on all
Undeveloped Property within Zone A, Zone B, Zone C, Zone D, and Zone E, at a
rate up to 100% of the Maximum Annual Special Tax for Undeveloped Property. In
determining the Acreage of an Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property for
purposes of determining the annual Special Tax to be levied on such Assessor's Parcels
of Undeveloped Property, the CFD Administrator shall not include any Acreage
shown on any applicable tentative subdivision map or other land use entitlement
approved by the City that designates such Acreage for a use that would be classified as
Open Space, Property Owner Association Property, or Public Property.
Third: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first two steps have been completed, the Special Tax to be levied on each Assessor's
Parcel of Developed Property whose Maximum Annual Special Tax is derived by the
City of Palm Desert, CFD 2005-1 (University Park) 8
RESOLUTION NO. 05-87
application of the Backup Special Tax shall be increased Proportionately from the
Assigned Special Tax up to the Maximum Annual Special Tax for each such Assessor's
Parcel.
Fourth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after
the first three steps have been completed, then the Special Tax shall be levied
Proportionately on all Provisional Undeveloped Property at a rate up to 100% of the
Maximum Annual Special Tax for Undeveloped Property.
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied against
any Assessor's Parcel of Residential Property be increased by more than ten percent
per year as a consequence of delinquency or default in the payment of Special Taxes by
the owner of any other Assessor's Parcel in the CFD.
E. EXEMPTIONS
1. The CFD Administrator shall classify the following as Exempt Property: (i) Public
Property, (ii) Property Owner Association Property, (iii) Open Space and (iv)
Assessor's Parcels with public or utility easements making impractical their
utilization for other than the purposes set forth in the easement; provided,
however, that no such classification shall reduce the sum of all Taxable
Property to less than 7.07 Acres for Zone A, 17.64 Acres for Zone B, 22.37
Acres for Zone C, 10.1 Acres for Zone D, and 129.5 Acres for Zone E.
Assessor's Parcels which cannot be classified as Exempt Property because
such classification would reduce the Acreage of all Taxable Property to less
than 7.07 Acres for Zone A, 17.64 Acres for Zone B, 22.37 Acres for Zone
C, 10.1 Acres for Zone D, and 129.5 Acres for Zone E will be classified as
Provisional Undeveloped Property and shall be taxed pursuant to the fourth
step of Section D. Exempt status for purposes of this paragraph will be
assigned by the CFD Administrator in the chronological order in which
property becomes Exempt Property.
2. The Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation for any property which would be
classified as Public Property upon its transfer or dedication to a public
agency but which is classified as Provisional Undeveloped Property pursuant
to E.1 above shall be prepaid in full by the seller pursuant to Section H.1,
prior to the transfer/dedication of such property to such public agency.
Until the Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation for any such Public
Property is prepaid, the property shall continue to be subject to the levy of
the Special Tax as Provisional Undeveloped Property.
3. If the use of an Assessor's Parcel of Exempt Property changes so that such
Assessor's Parcel is no longer classified as one of the uses set forth in Section
E.1 that would make such Assessor's Parcel no longer eligible to be classified
as Exempt Property, such Assessor's Parcel shall cease to be classified as
City of Palm Desert, CFD 2005-1 (University Park) 9
RESOLUTION NO. 05-87
Exempt Property and shall be deemed to be Taxable Property.
F. REVIEW/APPEAL COMMITTEE
Any landowner or resident who feels that the amount of the Special Tax levied on
their Assessor's Parcel is in error shall first consult with the CFD Administrator
regarding such error. If following such consultation, the CFD Administrator
determines that an error has occurred the CFD Administrator may amend the amount
of the Special Tax levied on such Assessor's Parcel. If following such consultation and
action (if any by the CFD Administrator), the landowner or resident believes such
error still exists, such person may file a written notice with the City Clerk of the City
appealing the amount of the Special Tax levied on such Assessor's Parcel. Upon the
receipt of any such notice, the City Clerk shall forward a copy of such notice to the
City Manager who shall establish as part of the proceedings and administration of CFD
No. 2005-1 a special three -member Review/Appeal Committee. The Review/Appeal
Committee may establish such procedures, as it deems necessary to undertake the
review of any such appeal. The Review/Appeal Committee shall interpret this Rate
and Method of Apportionment and make determinations relative to the annual
administration of the Special Tax and any landowner or resident appeals, as herein
specified. The decision of the Review/Appeal Committee shall be final and binding as
to all persons.
G. MANNER OF COLLECTION
The annual Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as
ordinary ad valorem property taxes; provided, however, that CFD No. 2005-1 may
directly bill the Special Tax, may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in a
different manner if necessary to meet its financial obligations, and may covenant to
foreclose and may actually foreclose on Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property that are
delinquent in the payment of Special Taxes as permitted by the Act.
Tenders of Bonds in prepayment of Maximum Annual Special Taxes may be accepted
upon the terms and conditions established by the Council pursuant to the Act.
However, the use of Bond tenders shall only be allowed on a case -by -case basis as
specifically approved by the Council.
H. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The following definitions apply to this Section H:
"CFD Public Facilities" means those public facilities authorized to be financed by
CFD No. 2005-1.
"CFD Public Facilities Costs" means either $55 million, or such lower number as
shall be determined either by (a) the CFD Administrator as sufficient to finance the
CFD Public Facilities, or (b) the Council concurrently with a covenant that it will not
issue any more Bonds to be secured by Special Taxes levied under this Rate and
City of Palm Desert, CFD 2005-1 (University Park) 10
RESOLUTION NO. 05-87
Method of Apportionment.
"Construction Fund" means an account specifically identified in the Indenture to
hold funds which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or construct the
CFD Public Facilities.
"Future Facilities Costs" means the CFD Public Facilities Costs minus that (a)
portion of the CFD Public Facilities Costs previously funded (i) from the proceeds of
all previously issued Bonds, (ii) from interest earnings on the Construction Fund
actually earned prior to the date of prepayment and (iii) directly from Special Tax
revenues and (b) the amount of the proceeds of all previously issued Bonds then on
deposit in the Construction Fund.
"Outstanding Bonds" means all previously issued Bonds which will remain
outstanding after the first interest and/or principal payment date following the current
Fiscal Year, excluding Bonds to be redeemed at a later date with the proceeds of prior
prepayments of Maximum Annual Special Taxes.
1. Prepayment in Full
The Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation may only be prepaid and permanently
satisfied for an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property or Undeveloped Property for
which a building permit has been issued, or Provisional Undeveloped Property. The
Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation applicable to such Assessor's Parcel may be
fully prepaid and the obligation of the Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax
permanently satisfied as described herein; provided, however that a prepayment may
be made only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's
Parcel at the time of prepayment. An owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to
prepay the Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation shall provide the CFD
Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of
such written notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the prepayment
amount of such Assessor's Parcel. Prepayment must be made not less than 45 days
prior to the next occurring date that notice of redemption of Bonds from the proceeds
of such prepayment may be given by the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. The CFD
Administrator may charge a reasonable fee for providing this figure, which can be
collected prior to preparing such calculation.
The prepayment amount shall be calculated as summarized below (capitalized terms as
defined below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Future Facilities Amount
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Prepayment Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
less Capitalized Interest Credit
equals Prepayment Amount
City of Palm Desert, CFD 2005-1 (University Park) 11
RESOLUTION NO. 05-87
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall
be calculated as follows:
Step No.:
1. For Developed Property, compute the Maximum Annual Special Tax for the
Assessor's Parcel to be prepaid. For Assessor's Parcels of Undeveloped
Property, for which a building permit has been issued, to be prepaid, compute
the Maximum Annual Special Tax for that Assessor's Parcel as though it was
already designated as Developed Property, based upon the building permit issued
for that Assessor's Parcel. For Assessor's Parcels of Provisional Undeveloped
Property to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Annual Special Tax for that
Assessor's Parcel using the Maximum Annual Special Tax for Provisional
Undeveloped Property.
2. Divide the Maximum Annual Special Tax computed pursuant to step 1 by the sum
of the total expected Maximum Annual Special Tax revenues which may be
levied within CFD No. 2005-1 excluding any Assessors Parcels for which the
Maximum Annual Special Tax obligation has been previously prepaid.
3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to step 2 by the principal amount of the
Outstanding Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired
and prepaid (the "Bond Redemption Amount").
4. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to step 3 by the
applicable redemption premium(s) on the next possible Bond call date, if any, on
the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the "Redemption Premium").
5. If all the Bonds authorized to be issued by CFD No. 2005-1 have not been issued,
then compute the Future Facilities Costs.
6. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to step 2 by the amount if any, determined
pursuant to step 5 to compute the amount of Future Facilities Costs to be
allocated to such Assessor's Parcel (the ".Future Facilities Amount').
7. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount
from the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current
Fiscal Year until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds.
8. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor's Parcel.
9. Determine the Special Taxes levied on the Assessor's Parcel in the current Fiscal
Year, which have not yet been paid.
10. Determine the fees and expenses of CFD No. 2005-1 including but not limited to,
City of Palm Desert, CFD 2005-1 (University Park) 12
RESOLUTION NO. 05-87
the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment
proceeds, the costs of redeeming Bonds from the proceeds of such prepayment,
and the cost of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the
redemption (the "Prepayment Fee and Expenses").
11. Compute the amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from
the reinvestment of the prepayment amount, less the Prepayment Fees and
Expenses, pursuant to step 10, from the date of prepayment until the redemption
date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment.
12. Add the amounts computed pursuant to steps 7 and 9 and subtract the amount
computed pursuant to step 11 (the "Defeasance Amount").
13. The reserve fund credit (the "Reserve Fund Credit') shall equal the lesser of: (a) the
expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if
any, associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the
prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve
requirement (as defined in the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of
Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the reserve
fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than
zero.
14. If any capitalized interest for the Outstanding Bonds will not have been expended
at the time of the first interest payment following the current Fiscal Year, a
capitalized interest credit shall be calculated by multiplying the quotient
computed pursuant to step 2 by the expected balance in the capitalized interest
fund after such first interest payment (the "Capitalied Interest Credit').
15. The Maximum Annual Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts
computed pursuant to steps 3, 4, 6, 10, and 12, less the amounts computed
pursuant to steps 13 and 14 (the "Prepayment Amount').
16. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to steps 3, 4, 12,
13 and 14 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the
Indenture and be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service
payments. The amount computed pursuant to step 10 shall be retained by CFD
No. 2005-1. The amount computed pursuant to step 6 shall be deposited in the
Construction Fund.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment
of Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000 or integral multiple thereof will
be retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the
next prepayment of bonds or to make debt service payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy as determined
under step 9 above, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year's
Special Tax levy for such Assessor's Parcel from the County tax rolls. With respect to
any Assessor's Parcel that is prepaid, the Council shall cause a suitable notice to be
City of Palm Desert, CFD 2005-1 (University Park) 13
RESOLUTION NO. 05-87
recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Special Taxes and
the release of the Special Tax lien on such Assessor's Parcel, and the obligation of such
Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the
amount of Maximum Annual Special Taxes that may be levied on Taxable Property
within CFD No. 2005-1 both prior to and after the proposed prepayment is at least 1.1
times the maximum annual debt service on all Outstanding Bonds plus the cost of
annual Administrative Fees and Expenses.
2. Prepayment in Part
The Maximum Annual Special Tax on an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property or
an Assessor's Parcel of Undeveloped Property for which a building permit has been
issued may be partially prepaid. The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as
presented in Section H.1; except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated according
to the following formula:
PP=((Pe—A)xF)+A
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = the partial prepayment
PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section H.1, minus Prepayment
Fees and Expenses determined pursuant to step 10.
F = the percent by which the owner of the Assessor's Parcel(s) is partially prepaying
the
Maximum Annual Special Tax.
A= the Prepayment Fees and Expenses determined pursuant to step 10.
The owner of an Assessor's Parcel who desires to partially prepay the Maximum
Annual Special Tax shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner's intent to
partially prepay the Maximum Annual Special Tax, (ii) the percentage by which the
Maximum Annual Special Tax shall be prepaid, and (iii) the company or agency that
will be acting as the escrow agent, if applicable. The CFD Administrator shall provide
the owner with a statement of the amount required for the partial prepayment of the
Maximum Annual Special Tax for an Assessor's Parcel within 30 days of the request
and may charge a reasonable fee for providing this service.
With respect to any Assessor's Parcel that is partially prepaid, the City shall (i)
distribute the funds remitted to it according to step 16 of Section H.1, and (ii) indicate
in the records of CFD No. 2005-1 that there has been a partial prepayment of the
Maximum Annual Special Tax and that a portion of the Maximum Annual Special Tax
equal to the outstanding percentage (1.00 - F) of the remaining Maximum Annual
Special Tax shall continue to be authorized to be levied on such Assessor's Parcel
pursuant to Section D.
