Step Four: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first three steps have been completed, then the Special Tax levy on each
Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property for which the Maximum Special Tax is
the Backup Special Tax shall be increased Proportionately from the Assigned
Special Tax up to 100% of the Backup Special Tax as needed to satisfy the Special
Tax Requirement.
Step Five: If additional moneys are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the
first four steps have been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied
Proportionately on each Assessor’s Parcel of Provisional Undeveloped Property
up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax applicable to each such Assessor’s
Parcel as needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement.
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Taxes levied in any Fiscal
Year against any Assessor’s Parcel of Residential Property as a result of a delinquency in the
payment of the Special Tax applicable to any other Assessor’s Parcel be increased by more than
ten percent (10%) above the amount that would have been levied in that Fiscal Year had there
never been any such delinquency or default.
F. EXEMPTIONS
The City shall classify as Exempt Property, in the following order of priority, (i) Assessor’s Parcels
which are owned by, irrevocably offered for dedication, encumbered by or restricted in use by the
State of California, Federal or other local governments, including school districts, (ii) Assessor’s
Parcels which are used as places of worship and are exempt from ad valorem property taxes
because they are owned by a religious organization, (iii) Assessor’s Parcels which are owned by,
irrevocably offered for dedication, encumbered by or restricted in use by a homeowners'
association, (iv) Assessor’s Parcels with public or utility easements making impractical their
utilization for other than the purposes set forth in the easement, (v) Assessor’s Parcels which are
privately owned and are encumbered by or restricted solely for public uses, or (vi) Assessor’s
Parcels restricted to other types of public uses determined by the City Council, provided that no
such classification would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to less than 5.51 Acres.
Notwithstanding the above, the City Council shall not classify an Assessor’s Parcel as Exempt
Property if such classification would reduce the sum of all Taxable Property to less than 5.51
Acres. Assessor's Parcels which cannot be classified as Exempt Property because such
classification would reduce the Acreage of all Taxable Property to less than 5.51 Acres will be
classified as Provisional Undeveloped Property, and will be subject to Special Tax pursuant to
Step Five in Section E.
G. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The following additional definitions apply to this Section G:
“CFD Public Facilities” means $3,900,000 expressed in 2021 dollars, or such lower amount (i)
determined by the City Council as sufficient to provide the public facilities under the authorized
bonding program for CFD No. 2006-6, or (ii) determined by the City Council concurrently with a
covenant that it will not issue any more Bonds to be supported by Special Tax levied under this
Rate and Method of Apportionment.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 3544F9D9-B4B8-4C2B-898C-0989ED43115F
“Construction Fund” means an account specifically identified in the Indenture or functionally
equivalent to hold funds, which are currently available for expenditure to acquire or construct
public facilities eligible to be financed by CFD No. 2006-6.
“Construction Inflation Index” means the annual percentage change in the Engineering News-
Record Building Cost Index for the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario area, measured as of the
Calendar Year which ends in the previous Fiscal Year. In the event this index ceases to be
published, the Construction Inflation Index shall be another index as determined by the City that
is reasonably comparable to the Engineering News-Record Building Cost Index for the Riverside-
San Bernardino-Ontario area.
“Future Facilities Costs” means the CFD Public Facilities minus public facility costs available
to be funded through existing construction or escrow accounts funded by the Outstanding Bonds,
and minus public facility costs funded by interest earnings on the Construction Fund actually
earned prior to the date of prepayment.
“Outstanding Bonds” means all previously issued Bonds issued and secured by the levy of
Special Tax 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 Special Tax.
1. Prepayment in Full
The Maximum Special Tax obligation may be prepaid and permanently satisfied for (i) Assessor’s
Parcels of Developed Property, (ii) Assessor’s Parcels of Approved Property or Undeveloped
Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, (iii) Approved Property or Undeveloped
Property for which a Building Permit has not been issued and (iv) Assessor’s Parcels of Public
Property or Property Owner’s Association Property, or Provisional Undeveloped Property that
are not Exempt Property pursuant to Section F. The Maximum Special Tax obligation applicable
to an Assessor’s Parcel may be fully prepaid and the obligation to pay the Special Tax for such
Assessor’s Parcel permanently satisfied as described herein; provided 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 Special
Tax obligation for such Assessor’s Parcel shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice
of intent to prepay, and within 5 business days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator
shall notify such owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to cover the cost
to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the Prepayment Amount (as defined below) for the
Assessor’s Parcel. Within 15 days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the CFD
Administrator shall notify such owner of the Prepayment Amount for the Assessor’s Parcel.
Prepayment must be made not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date for any Bonds to
be redeemed with the proceeds of such prepaid Special Taxes.
The Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as follows (capitalized terms are
defined below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Future Facilities Amount
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
Equals: Prepayment Amount
DocuSign Envelope ID: 3544F9D9-B4B8-4C2B-898C-0989ED43115F
The Prepayment Amount shall be determined as of the proposed prepayment date as follows:
1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor’s Parcel.
2. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, compute the Maximum Special Tax for
the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped
Property for which a Building Permit has been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax for
the Assessor’s Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based
upon the Building Permit which has been issued for the Assessor’s Parcel. For an Assessor’s
Parcel of Approved Property or Undeveloped Property for which a Building Permit has not
been issued, Public Property, Property Owner’s Association Property, or Provisional
Undeveloped Property to be prepaid compute the Maximum Special Tax for the Assessor’s
Parcel.
3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax derived pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total amount
of Special Taxes that could be levied at the Maximum Special Tax at build out of all Assessor’s
Parcels of Taxable Property based on the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Assessor’s
Parcels of Developed Property not including any Assessor’s Parcels for which the Special Tax
obligation has been previously prepaid.
4. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the principal amount of the
Outstanding Bonds to determine the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the
Prepayment Amount (the “Bond Redemption Amount”).
5. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on
the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”).
6. Determine the Future Facilities Costs.
7. Multiply the quotient derived pursuant to paragraph 3 by the amount determined
pursuant to paragraph 6 to determine the amount of Future Facilities Costs for the Assessor’s
Parcel (the “Future Facilities Amount”).
8. Determine 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 on which Bonds can be redeemed from
Special Tax prepayments.
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 amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the
investment of the Bond Redemption Amount and the Redemption Premium from the date of
prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the
Prepayment Amount.
11. Add the amounts derived pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount
derived pursuant to paragraph 10 (the “Defeasance Amount”).
12. Verify the administrative fees and expenses of the CFD, including the cost of
computation of the Prepayment Amount, the cost to invest the Prepayment Amount, the cost
DocuSign Envelope ID: 3544F9D9-B4B8-4C2B-898C-0989ED43115F
of redeeming the Outstanding Bonds, and the cost of recording notices to evidence the
prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel and the
redemption of Outstanding Bonds (the “Administrative Fees and Expenses”).
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. The Prepayment Amount is equal to the sum of the Bond Redemption Amount, the
Redemption Premium, the Future Facilities Amount, the Defeasance Amount and the
Administrative Fees and Expenses, less the Reserve Fund Credit.
15. From the Prepayment Amount, the Bond Redemption Amount, the Redemption
Premium, and Defeasance Amount shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established
under the Indenture and be used to redeem Outstanding Bonds or make debt service
payments. The Future Facilities Amount shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The
Administrative Fees and Expenses shall be retained by the CFD.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of Bonds.
In such event, the increment above $5,000 or an integral multiple thereof will be retained in the
appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next redemption from other
Special Tax prepayments of Outstanding Bonds or to make debt service payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax levy as determined pursuant
to paragraph 9 above, the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year’s Special Tax
levy for the Assessor’s Parcel from the County tax roll. With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel for
which the Maximum Special Tax obligation is prepaid, the City Council shall cause a suitable
notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Maximum Special
Tax obligation and the release of the Special Tax lien for the Assessor’s Parcel, and the obligation
to pay the Special Tax for such Assessor’s Parcel shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the amount of
Maximum Special Tax that may be levied on all Assessor’s Parcels of Taxable Property after the
proposed prepayment will be at least 1.1 times maximum annual debt service on the Bonds that
will remain outstanding after the prepayment plus the estimated annual Administrative Expenses.
Tenders of Bonds in prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax obligation may be accepted upon
the terms and conditions established by the City 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
City Council.
2. Prepayment in Part
The Maximum Special Tax obligation for an Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property, Approved
Property or Undeveloped Property may be partially prepaid. For purposes of determining the
partial prepayment amount, the provisions of Section G.1 shall be modified as provided by the
following formula:
DocuSign Envelope ID: 3544F9D9-B4B8-4C2B-898C-0989ED43115F
PP = ((PE – A) x F) + A
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = Partial Prepayment Amount
PE = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section G.1
F = the percent by which the owner of the Assessor’s Parcel(s) is partially
prepaying the Maximum Special Tax obligation
A = the Administrative Fees and Expenses determined pursuant to Section G.1
The owner of an Assessor’s Parcel who desires to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax
obligation for the Assessor’s Parcel shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner’s intent
to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax obligation, (ii) the percentage of the Maximum
Special Tax obligation such owner wishes to prepay, and (iii) the company or agency that will be
acting as the escrow agent, if any. Within 5 days of receipt of such notice, the CFD Administrator
shall notify such property owner of the amount of the non-refundable deposit determined to cover
the cost to be incurred by the CFD in calculating the amount of a partial prepayment. Within 15
business days of receipt of such non-refundable deposit, the CFD Administrator shall notify such
owner of the amount of the Partial Prepayment Amount for the Assessor’s Parcel. A Partial
Prepayment Amount must be made not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date for the
Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the proceeds of the Partial Prepayment Amount.
With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel for which the Maximum Special Tax obligation is partially
prepaid, the CFD Administrator shall (i) distribute the Partial Prepayment Amount as provided in
Paragraph 15 of Section G.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of the CFD that there has been a
Partial Prepayment for the Assessor’s Parcel and that a portion of the Maximum Special Tax
obligation equal to the remaining percentage (1.00 - F) of the Maximum Special Tax obligation
will continue to be levied on the Assessor’s Parcel pursuant to Section E.
H. TERMINATION OF SPECIAL TAX
For each Fiscal Year that any Bonds are outstanding the Special Tax shall be levied on all
Assessor’s Parcels subject to the Special Tax. The Special Tax shall cease not later than the
2060-2061 Fiscal Year, however, Special Tax will cease to be levied in an earlier Fiscal Year if
the CFD Administrator has determined (i) that all the required interest and principal payments on
the CFD No. 2006-6 Bonds have been paid; (ii) all authorized facilities of CFD No. 2006-6 have
been acquired and all reimbursements to the developer have been paid, (iii) no delinquent Special
Tax remain uncollected and (iv) all other obligations of CFD No. 2006-6 have been satisfied.
I. MANNER OF COLLECTION
The 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. 2006-6 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 delinquent Assessor’s Parcels as permitted
by the Act.
J. APPEALS OF SPECIAL TAXES
Any taxpayer may file a written appeal of the Special Taxes on his/her Assessor’s Parcel(s) with
the CFD Administrator, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special
Taxes. During pendency of an appeal, all Special Taxes previously levied must be paid on or
DocuSign Envelope ID: 3544F9D9-B4B8-4C2B-898C-0989ED43115F
before the payment date established when the levy was made. The appeal must specify the
reasons why the appellant claims the Special Tax is in error. The CFD Administrator shall review
the appeal, meet with the appellant if the CFD Administrator deems necessary, and advise the
appellant of its determination. If the CFD Administrator agrees with the appellant, the CFD
Administrator shall grant a credit to eliminate or reduce future Special Taxes on the appellant’s
Assessor’s Parcel(s). No refunds of previously paid Special Taxes shall be made.
The CFD Administrator shall interpret this Rate and Method of Apportionment and make
determinations relative to the annual levy and administration of the Special Taxes and any
taxpayer who appeals, as herein specified.
