Executive Summary Adoption of the attached resolutions will allow Staff to proceed with the issuance of the Bonds and the use of proceeds from the Bonds to pay for the costs of the identified projects. Backqround and discussion: Staff recommends the issuance of two series of Bonds relating to the financing and refinancing of projects for the Agency's Project Area No. 4. The Bonds will be issued as tax-exempt bonds. The net proceeds of the Series 2006A Bonds will be used to refund a portion of certain Authority bonds issued in 1998 to finance projects for the Project Area No. 4. The remaining portion of the net proceeds of the Series 2006A Bonds, along with the net proceeds of the Series 2006E Bonds will be used to pay all or a portion of the costs of certain Agency projects benefiting Project Area No. 4. Based on current estimates by the Financing Advisor and the Underwriter, the sale of the two series of Bonds is expected to generate approximately $16,300,000 of net proceeds to be available for Agency projects. The proposed projects are outlined in the attached City Council resolution and are also described in a Summary Report, which was made available to the public for inspection in connection with the City Council public hearing. The repayment of the Bonds will be primarily secured by tax increments generated with respect to Project Area No. 4. The Bonds will rank on a parity with the outstanding bonds previously issued for Project Area No. 4. The Series 2006A Bonds will be current interest bonds. The Series 2006B Bonds will be capital appreciation bonds. Staff Report Approval of Agency/PDFA Resolutions — PA#4 Tax Allocation Refunding Revenue Bonds 2006 Series A and B Page 3 of 4 June 8, 2006 Adoption of the attached resolutions will allow Staff to proceed with the issuance of the Bonds and the use of proceeds to pay for the costs of the identified projects. Staff is utilizing the following financing team: Kenneth L. Dieker, D.B.A. Del Rio Advisors, LLC, Modesto, CA — Financial Advisor, Richards, Watson & Gershon, A Professional Corporation, Los Angeles, CA — Bond Counsel Lofton & Jennings, San Francisco, CA — Disclosure Counsel Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Los Angeles, CA — Trustee and Escrow Agent Wedbush Morgan Securities, Inc., Solana Beach, CA — Underwriter Rosenow Spevacek Group, Inc., Santa Ana, CA — Fiscal Consultant MuniFinancial, Inc., Temecula, CA — Dissemination Agent SUMMARY OF DOCUMENTS TO BE APPROVED: Indenture of Trust The Indenture sets forth all of the terms and conditions of the Bonds (e.g., principal amounts, maturity and redemption schedules, payment, registration and transfer provisions and the form of the Bonds), the covenants and other obligations of the Authority to the bondholders, and the role and the duties of the Trustee. As presented, the Indenture is in substantially final form, except that final dollar amounts and interest rates will be added after the Bonds have been priced and sold and that provisions may be added, deleted or otherwise modified to accommodate the bond insurer requirements. Loan Agreement Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Authority agrees to lend the Agency funds that would be used by the Agency to refund the 1998 bonds and fund capital projects for benefit to Project Area No. 4. The Agency agrees to pay tax increment revenues to the Trustee, as the Authority's assignee, in sufficient amounts to pay debt service on the Bonds. Bond Purchase Agreement This is an agreement between the Authority, the Agency and the Underwriter for the purchase and sale of the bonds. Pursuant to the Bond Purchase Agreement, the underwriter agrees to purchase the Authority bonds at specified prices and interest rates, subject to the receipt of certain opinions, certificates and other conditions. The Bond Purchase Agreement will be presented to the appropriate officers of the Authority and Agency for approval and execution as soon as the Underwriter has completed the process of offering and then pricing the Bonds in the market. Preliminary Official Statement A Preliminary Official Statement relating to the Bonds, in substantially final form, has been prepared by Disclosure Counsel. The Preliminary Official Statement is designed to provide material information to investors with respect to the terms and the security of the Bonds. It includes a full description of the legal and financial aspects, as well as the various legal documents in regard to the Bonds, except for certain information which will be determined upon the pricing of the Bonds (such as the final principal amounts, the interest rates and the redemption dates). The Preliminary Official Staff Report Approval of Agency/PDFA Resolutions — PA#4 Tax Allocation Refunding Revenue Bonds 2006 Series A and B Page 4 of 4 June 8, 2006 Statement also includes information regarding the Authority, the Agency, and the Project Area. The Preliminary Official Statement will be utilized by the Underwriter in its effort to market the bonds to the public. Once the Bonds have been priced and the Bond Purchase Agreement has been signed, Disclosure Counsel will insert the final pricing information into the Preliminary Official Statement, thereby converting it to the Official Statement. The Underwriter will then distribute the Official Statement to the individuals and institutions that purchased the Bonds. Continuing Disclosure Aareement The Continuing Disclosure Agreement is between the Agency, the Trustee and the Dissemination Agent. This agreement directs the Agency to provide an annual report to the Dissemination Agent. The Annual Report contains the Agency's audited financial statements and other pertinent information relating to Project Area No. 4. The Annual Report is sent to state and national repositories so that this information is available to the bondholders. This mechanism is used to keep bondholders informed on an annual basis of the financial status of the Agency. Escrow Aareement The Escrow Agreement is an agreement among the Agency, the Authority and the Trustee. Redemption and final payment of the refunded 1998 Bonds will not occur until some time after the issuance of the Bonds. During this interim period, money derived from the proceeds of the Bonds to be used for the payment and redemption of the 1995 Bonds will be held by the Escrow Agent in an escrow fund. The Escrow Agreement provides for the establishment and maintenance of such escrow fund and the release of money on the appropriate payment and redemption dates. The resolutions permit Staff to make the necessary changes to all of the documents in order to finalize and execute the documents. Staff is recommending that the City Council, the Authority and the Agency adopt their respective resolutions approving and authorizing the sale and issuance of the Bonds, and the execution and delivery ofA rriCla&qAffE) ION: S mitted APPROVED DENIED '/� RECEIVED OTHER / ave Yri o en 14EETING DATE 9 Y AYES : r6ff�, lD r,�n c . dlo//� tip1f, S Direc r of Redevelopmen Housing NOES : _A((SYGP ABSENT:yam A royal: ABSTAIN: N(}�- pp VERIFIM Y:.i City Cle�Ck's Office 'stin McCarthy, AC elopment Paul S.

In case any separate trustee or co-trustee, or a successor to either, shall become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such separate trustee or co-trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee until the appointment of a new trustee or successor to such separate trustee or co-trustee.
