ACTION - 1 of 27 oon 7 1995 ITEM 8 AGENDA REPORT CITY OF POW A Y TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: James L. Bowersox, City ~ INITIATED BY: John D. FilCh, Assistant City Manager f Peggy A. Stewart, Director of Adminis 've Services DATE: October 17, 1995 SUBJECT: Refunding 1970, 1972 and 1975 General Obligation Water bonds and 1978 General Obligation Fire Protection Improvement bonds. BACKGROUND The City has three outstanding general obligation water bonds and one outstanding general obligation fire protection improvement bond. as follows: $3,200,000 General Obligation 1970 Water Bonds $1,400,000 General Obligation 1972 Water Bonds $6,300,000 General Obligation 1975 Water Bonds $1,900,000 1978 General Obligation Fire Protection Improvement Bonds - These bonds have combined outstanding principal of $7,445,000 and an additional sinking fund balance of $1,215,000. They mature between 1991 and 2006. Interest rates on the outstanding bonds range from 5.75% to 7.5%. FINDINGS A refunding plan with substantial savings to taxpayers can be achieved through two actions. The City has adequate funds in the debt service and sinking fund reserves to redeem the 1970 and 1972 general obligation water bonds and the 1978 fire protection bonds. This will result in an average annual debt service savings of $525,000 over the next six years. ACTION: I 2 of 27 )) - -- - Agenda Report October 17, 1995 Page 2 The outstanding 1975 general obligation water bonds with an outstanding principal of $5.1 million and an interest rate of 7.5" would be refunded through the issuance of general obligation refunding bonds. Net present value savings are estimated at $428,000 or 8.7". Given that the 1995/96 tax rate has already been set at .06022 to cover the normal debt service payment, the City will collect more tax revenue this fiscal year than needed. To remedy this and return the City to a stable tax rate next fiscal year, the 1995 Refunding Bonds will be structured with a large principal payment on June I, 1995. This has the effect of applying the 1995/96 over- collection to the cheapest part of the refunding in the same fiscal year it is received. It is anticipated that beginning in fiscal year 1996/97, debt service on the 1995 Refunding Bonds will drop to a level annual debt service through final maturity in 2005/06. Given the current bond market the estimated tax rate to cover the new debt service would be .02000 or below. This would mean that the taxes on a S200,OOO home for the combined general obligation bonds would drop from S120 to $40. In order to proceed with the issuance of the refunding bonds and to provide instructions to the Trustee, it is nect',my for the City Council to adopt the following resolutions and approve the following documents: . - Issuance Resolution: This resolution authorizes the issuance of the refunding bonds, designates the Paying Agent, and describes the terms of the transaction and the sources of funds for repayment.

Security and Source of Payment The Bonds are general obligations of the City and the City Council has the power and is obligated to levy annual ad valorem taxes for payment of the Bonds and the interest thereon.upon all property within the Improvement Area subject to taxation by the City (except certain personal property which is taxable at limited rates) without limitation as to rate or amount. See "CITY FINANCIAL DATA" herein. The City cannot levy any ad valorem tax on property outside the Improvement Area to pay principal of or interest on the Bonds. The Book Entry System General. DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully-registered certificates 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. DTC 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 17 A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds securities that its participants (the "Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among Participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in Participants' accounts, thereby eliminating the need for - physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is LA \952800005 4 ----- ---" owned by a number of its Direct Participants and by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange, Inc. and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as securities brokers and dealers, banks, and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (the "Indirect Participants"). The Rules applicable to DTC and its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Purchases of the 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 (the "Beneficial Owner") is in turn recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but Beneficial Owners are 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 interest in the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Participants acting on behalf of the Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates 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 Participants with DTC are registered in the name ofDTC's partnership nominee, CEDE & Co. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of CEDE & Co. effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC's records reflect_only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such securities are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The 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. Redemption notices shall be sent to CEDE & Co. If less than all of the Bonds are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor CEDE & Co. will consent or vote with respect to the Bonds. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the City 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 the Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Principal, mandatory redemption and interest payments on the Bonds will be made to DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts on payment dates in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on the date payable. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners LA\95280000S 5 - - - will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form of registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not ofDTC, the Paying Agent or the City, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest to DTC is the responsibility of the City and the Paying Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants shall be the responsibility ofDTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners shall be responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. The Paying Agent and the City cannot and do not give any assurances that DTC, DTC Participants or others will distribute payments of principal, interest or and premium with respect to the Bonds paid to DTC or its nominee as the registered owner, or any redemption 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 Paying Agent and the City are not responsible or liable for the failure ofDTC 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. The foregoing description of the procedures and record-keeping with respect to beneficial ownership interests in the Bonds, payment of principal, interest and other payments on the Bonds to DTC Participants or Beneficial Owners, confirmation and transfer of beneficial ownership interests in such Bonds and other related transactions by and between DTC, the DTC Participants and the Beneficial Owners is based solely on information provided by DTC. Accordingly, no representations can be made concerning these mattes and neither the DTC Participants nor the Beneficial Owners should rely on the foregoing information with respect to such matters, but should instead confirm the name with DTC or the DTC Participants, as the case may be. , Discontinuance of Book-Entry. DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Paying Agent and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law, or the City may terminate participation in the system of book-entry transfers through DTC or any other securities depository at any time. In the event that the book-entry system is discontinued, the Paying Agent will authenticate and make available for delivery, replacement Bonds in the form of registered certificates. In addition, the following provisions would apply: the principal of and redemption premium, if any, on the Bonds will be payable at the corporate trust office of the Paying Agent, and interest on the Bonds will be payable by check mailed on each Payment Date to the registered Owners thereof as shown on the registration books of the Paying Agent as described above. Bonds will be transferable and exchangeable on the terms and conditions provided in the Resolution. Transfer Fees. For every transfer and exchange of Bonds, Beneficial Owners may be charged a sum sufficient to cover any tax, governmental charge or transfer fees that may be imposed in relation thereto, which charge may include transfer fees imposed by the Paying Agent, DTC or the DTC Participant in connection with such transfers or exchanges. LA\9S2800005 6 Covenant to Provide Ongoing Disclosure The City has covenanted, pursuant to a Continuing Disclosure Agreement, dated as of November 1, 1995, for the benefit of holders and beneficial owners of the Bonds to provide certain financial information and operating data relating to the City by not later than 180 days following the end of the City's Fiscal Year (which currently would be June 30), commencing with the report for the 1996 Fiscal Year (the "Annual Report"), and to provide notices of the occurrence of certain enumerated events, if material. The Annual Report will be filed by the City with each Nationally Recognized Municipal Securities Information Repository (a "NRMSIR") or the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the "MSRB"), and with the appropriate State information depository, if any. The notices of material events will be filed by the City with the MSRB or with each NRMSIR (and with the appropriate State information depository, if any). The specific nature of the information to be contained in the Annual Report or the notices of material events is summarized below under the caption "APPENDIX _ - Form of Continuing Disclosure Certificate." These covenants have been made in order to assist the Underwriter in complying with S.E.C. Rule 15c2-12(b)(5). ANNUAL DEBT SERVICE The following illustrates the annual debt service for the Bonds as of October 1 of each year. Total ~ Principal Interest Debt Service THE REFUNDING PLAN The proceeds of the Bonds will be used for the purpose of refunding the Prior Bonds and to pay costs of issuance of the Bonds. Concurrent with the issuance of the Bonds, the City will enter into an escrow agreement, dated as of November 1, 1995 (the "Escrow Agreement") with Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association, acting as escrow bank (the "Escrow Bank"). A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds will be deposited in the escrow fund (the "Escrow Fund") established under the Escrow Agreement. Amounts deposited into the Escrow Fund will be invested solely in direct, non-callable general obligations of the United LA\952800005 7 - - States Department of the Treasury, the principal of and interest on which, together with any available cash to be held uninvested, have been verified by * , independent accountants, to be sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Prior Bonds to and including the dates of redemption thereof and to redeem the Prior Bonds on their respective redemption date. See "CONCLUDING INFORMATION -- Verification of Mathematical Accuracy" herein. [In addition to the proceeds of the Bonds deposited in the Escrow Fund, there will also be deposited therein certain funds remaining on deposit under the resolution adopted in connection with the issuance of the Prior Bonds.] See "ESTIMATED SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS" below. Upon deposit of such moneys and securities in the Escrow Fund, the lien of the Prior Bonds on the ad valorem property tax will be economically defeased, but will not be legally defeased until the Prior Bonds are called for redemption on April 1, 1996. The moneys and securities held in the Escrow Fund are pledged to the payment of the Prior Bonds. Neither the moneys or the principal of the escrow securities deposited with the Escrow Bank, nor the interest thereon, will be available for the payment of the Bonds.

CITY FINANCIAL DATA City Assessed Valuations The County Assessor of San Diego County assesses all real and personal property in the City of Poway for tax purposes, except public utility property which is assessed by the State LA \952800005 11 --,.-.-- - --- - .- Board of Equalization. California law exempts $7,000 of the assessed valuation of an owner occupied dwelling. Effective with the 1980/81 fiscal year, State law has also exempted 100% of the value of business inventories from taxation, rather than 50% as in prior years. The law provides for reimbursements to local agencies based on their share of the revenues derived from the' application of the maximum tax rate applied to business inventories in 1979/80 Fiscal Year, with adjustments to reflect increases in population and the consumer price index. Revenue estimated to be lost to local agencies due to such exemptions is reimbursed from State sources. Such reimbursement is based upon total taxes due upon such exempt values and is not reduced by any amount for estimated delinquencies.

Source: San Diego County Auditor-Controller Tax Levies and Delinquencies Taxes are collected by the San Diego County Tax Collector. Taxes and assessments on the secured roll are payable in two installments on November 1 and February 1 of each fiscal year, and become delinquent after December 10 and April 10, respectively. A penalty of 10% is added to the first installment if not paid on or before December 10, and 10%, along with $10.00 for costs, is added to the second installment ifnot paid on or before April 10. At the end of the first year of delinquency, property is sold to the State. When property is redeemed after sale for delinquent taxes, penalties are added at the rate of 1.5% per month, with a $15.00 redemption fee on each separately valued parcel sold to the State. If not redeemed at the end of five years from July 22 of the year first becoming delinquent, the property will be deeded to the State of California, and may thereafter be sold at public auction. Property deeded to the State for delinquent tax may be purchased at public auction by individuals. The County Tax Collector shall auction such property within two years after such property has been deeded to the State. LA\952800005 15 - .- Taxes on property assessed on the unsecured roll are billed as soon as assessed. Taxes on the roll as of July 31, if unpaid, become delinquent on August 31. Taxes added to the roll after July 31, if unpaid become delinquent the last day of the month following the amount in which they were added. A 10% penalty attaches to the taxes when they become delinquent, and if unpaid at the end of the second succeeding month a 1.5% penalty is added on the first day of each month. The County has four ways of collecting delinquent unsecured personal property taxes: (1) 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 lien on certain property of the taxpayer; (3) filing a certificate of delinquency for record in the County Recorder's office in order to obtain a lien on certain property of the taxpayer; and (4) seizure and sale of personal property, improvements or possessory interest belonging or assessed to the assessee. [* The Board of Supervisors of the County has adopted the Alternative Method of Distribution of Tax Levies and Collections and of Tax Sale Proceeds (the "Teeter Plan"), as provided for in Section 4701 ~ Sl:Q. of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, "to accomplish a simplification of the tax-levying and tax apportioning process and an increased flexibility in the use of available cash resources." Pursuant to the Teeter Plan, each entity may draw on the amount of uncollected taxes and assessments credited to its fund, in the same manner as if the amount credited had been collected. Under the Teeter Plan, the County establishes a tax losses reserve fund and a tax resources account. - The City will be responsible for determining the amount of the ad valorem levy on each parcel, which will be entered onto the tax roll. Upon completion of the tax roll, the County's Tax Collector determines the total amount of taxes and assessments actually extended on the roll for each fund for which a tax levy has been included, and apportions 100% of the tax and assessment levies to that fund's credit. Such moneys may thereafter be drawn against in the same manner as if the amount credited had been collected. The Board of Supervisors determines which moneys in the County treasury (including those credited to the tax losses reserve fund) shall be available to be drawn on to the extent of the amount of uncollected taxes credited to each fund for which a levy has been included. When amounts are received on the secured tax roll for the current year or for redemption oftax-clefaulted property, Teeter Plan moneys are undistributed to the apportioned tax resources accounts. The tax losses reserve fund is used exclusively to cover losses occurring in the amount of tax liens as a result of sales of tax-defaulted property. Moneys in this fund are derived from several sources. Amounts collected as costs are distributed to the County's general fund, but delinquent penalty collections are distributed to the tax losses reserve fund. * Verify LA\952800005 16 _._- ~-- When tax-defaulted property is sold, the taxes and assessments which constitute the amount required to redeem the property are prorated between apportioned (Teeter) levies and unapportioned (or non-Teeter) levies. Amounts apportioned to the funds at the time of the levy are distributed to the apportioned tax resources accounts. The pro rata share of redemption penalties or interest collected on amounts levied but not apportioned to funds at the time of the levy is distributed to the respective funds. The balance of redemption penalties or interest, together with delinquency penalties is apportioned to the tax losses reserve fund. If the tax losses reserve fund exceeds 4% of the total taxes and assessments levied for that year, the amounts coming in after it reaches 4% are credited to the County's general fund. If the secured tax delinquency rate stays below 3% for three consecutive fiscal years, then the amounts received thereafter are credited to the County's general fund. The amount of taxes extended on a tax-defaulted property determines the cost of redeeming the property. Ifvaluations of tax-defaulted property entered on the roll exceed 1 % of the total roll, they are not included in any statement of equalized assessed valuations that are the basis for determining bond debt limitations. The Teeter Plan is to remain in effect unless the Board of Supervisors orders its discontinuance or unless, prior to the commencement of any fiscal year of the County (which commences on July 1), the Board of Supervisors shall receive a petition for its discontinuance joined in by resolutions adopted by two-thirds of the participating revenue Cities in the County, in which event the Board of Supervisors is to order discontinuance of the Teeter Plan effective at the commencement of the subsequent fiscal year. The County has never received a petition 'from any governing board to discontinue the Teeter Plan. The Board of Supervisors may, by resolution adopted not later than July 15 of the fiscal year for which it is to apply after holding a public hearing of the matter, discontinue the procedure under the Teeter Plan with respect to any tax levying agency or assessment levying agency in the County if the rate of secured tax delinquency in that agency in any year exceeds 3 % of the total of all taxes and assessments levied on the secured rolls in that agency. In the event that the Teeter Plan or its application to the City were terminated, the amount of the levy of the property tax received by the City would depend upon the collections of the property tax and delinquency rates experienced with respect to the parcels within the City. So long as the Teeter Plan remains effective, the City's receipt of property tax will not be dependent upon actual collections by the County. However, under the statute creating the Teeter Plan, the Board of Supervisors could under certain circumstances terminate the Teeter Plan in its entirety and, in addition, the Board of Supervisors could terminate the Teeter Plan as to the City if the delinquency rate for all taxes levied by the City in any year exceeds 3%.] LA \952800005 17 un '$.

Article XIIIA provides that the maximum ad valorem tax on real property cannot exceed one percent of the "full cash value" of the property, and effectively prohibits the levying of any other ad valorem property tax except for taxes above that level required to pay debt service on voter approved general obligation bonds. "Full cash value" is defined as "the County Assessor's valuation of real property as shown on the 1975/76 tax bill under "full cash value" or, thereafter, the appraisal value of real property when purchased, newly constructed, or a change in ownership has occurred after the 1975 assessment". The "full cash value" is subject to annual adjustment to reflect inflation at a rate not to exceed two percent, or a reduction in the consumer price index or comparable local data, or declining property value caused by damage, destruction or other factors. The foregoing limitation does not apply to ad valorem taxes or special assessments to pay the interest and redemption charges on any indebtedness approved by the voters before July 1, 1978 or any bonded indebtedness for the acquisition or improvement of real property approved by two-thirds of the votes cast by the voters voting on the proposition. Article XIIIB of the California Constitution limits the amount of appropriations of the State and of local governments for "proceeds of taxes" to the amount of appropriations of the entity for the prior year, adjusted for changes in the cost of living, population and services provided. - On November 4, 1986, the voters approved a proposition that amends certain California statutory provisions to increase legislative approval and voter approval requirements required to increase taxes imposed by local governments. The initiative adds provisions to California statutes requiring the following: (i) two-thirds approval of the legislative body followed by majority approval of the electorate voting in an election in order to permit local governments to impose any general tax (defmed as any tax for general governmental purposes); and (ii) two- thirds approval of the electorate voting in an election in order to permit local governments to impose any special tax (defmed as any tax other than a general tax). The initiative further imposes provisions regarding the conduct of the elections requires to be held. In addition, the initiative requires that the revenues from a special tax be used only for the purposes or service for which it was imposed. Furthermore, the initiative contains restrictions on the imposition of ad valorem taxes and sales taxes on real property. Finally, the initiative requires that any tax imposed by any local government on or after August 1, 1985 be ratified by a majority vote of the electorate within two years after the effective date of the initiative in order to be continued on and after November 15, 1988. The initiative does not affect the City's ability to raise property taxes sufficient to repay the Bonds. Budgetary Process The fiscal year of the City begins on the first day of July each year and ends on the thirtieth day of July of the following year. LA\952800005 19 , - - At such date as the City Manager determines, such department head must furnish to the City Manager an estimate of Revenues and expenditures for such department for the ensuing fiscal year, detailed in such manner as may be predescribed by the City Manager. In preparing the proposed budget, the City Manager reviews the estimates, holds conferences thereon with the respective department heads, and revises the estimates as he deems advisable. At least thirty days prior to the beginning of each fiscal year, the City Manager submits to the City Council the proposed budget. After reviewing and making such revisions as it deems advisable, the City Council determines the time for the holding of a public hearing thereon and causes to be published a notice thereof not less than ten days prior to the hearing date. Copies of the proposed budget are available for inspection by the public in the office of the City Clerk at least ten days prior to the hearing. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council further considers the proposed budget and makes any revision thereof that it deems advisable. On or before July 30 it adopts the budget with revisions, if any, by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the total members of the City Council. From the effective date of the budget, the several amounts stated as proposed expenditures become appropriated to the several department, offices and agencies for the objects and purposes named, provided that the City Manager may transfer the appropriations of a fund from one object or purpose to another within the same department, office or agency. All appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal year to the extent that they have not been amended or lawfully encumbered. - At the public meeting after the adoption of the budget, the City Council may amend or supplement the budget by motion adopted by the affirmative vote of at least three members of the five member City Council. The City Council employs, at the beginning of each fiscal year, an independent public accountant who, at such time or times as specified by the City Council, at least annually, and at such other times as he shall determine, examines the books, records, inventories and reports of all officers an employees who receive, control, handle or disburse public funds and of all such other officers, employees or departments as the City Council may direct. As soon a practicable after the end of the fiscal year, a final audit and report is submitted by such accountant to the City Council and a copy of the financial statements as of the close of the fiscal year is published. Audits The City, all its funds and the Poway Redevelopment Agency are audited annually by the certified public accounting firm of Moreland & Associates, Inc. of 61 0 Newport Center Drive, Suite 500, Newport Beach, California 92660. A copy of the audited fmancial statements of the City for Fiscal Year 1993/94 is attached hereto as APPENDIX C. It is anticipated that the audited fmancial statement of the City for Fiscal Year 1994/95 will be available by ,1995. LA\952800005 20 Investments in County Investment Pool As of May 31,1995, City, as a voluntary depositor, had invested approximately $62.5 million with the San Diego County Treasurer (the "Treasurer") in the San Diego County Investment Pool (the "Pool''). Of that amount, $23 million represented general operating reserve . moneys of the City (out ofa total City operating reserve of approximately $73 million) and $39.5 million represents a portion of bond proceeds of the Agency (out of a total of$43.5 million of proceeds). Based on reports from the County, as of May 31,1995 the total deposits in the Pool were approximately $2.82 billion. The market value of the deposits as of May 31,1995 was approximately $2.65 billion for an unrealized loss of approximately $174.4 million, or 6.3%. This unrealized loss compares to unrealized losses of approximately $284 million (or 9.1 %) as of March 31,1995 and $374 million or (11.35%) as of December 31,1994. As the result of the market value loss of the investments within the Pool, the City estimates its share (including the Agency) of the unrealized loss to be approximately $3.6 million, or 3% of its total investment portfolio (as of May 31,1995). The continuing market value of the Pool will depend upon, among other factors, the maturity and type of investments in the Pool and general market conditions. While State law provides that depositors in the Pool are permitted to withdraw funds which they have deposited on 30 days' notice, due to the market value loss of the various investments within the Pool if a significant number of depositors requested withdrawal of their moneys at the same time the Treasurer would currently be unable to honor all withdrawal requests without liquidating investments in the Pool at a significant loss. In order to prevent this liquidity problem, the County, together with an oversight committee and a pool participant committee, approved a Phased Withdrawal Plan (the "Withdrawal Plan"). The Withdrawal Plan is structured to take advantage of the periods of projected high liquidity in the Pool, thereby avoiding the sale of investments at a loss to create liquidity. While voluntary depositors in the Pool are not legally required to participate in the Withdrawal Plan, approximately two-thirds of the voluntary depositors have agreed to participate. The City has elected to withdraw its moneys invested in the Pool over an approximately three-year time period under what is known as the Phased Withdrawal Plan. The City does not anticipate that it will lose any of the money it has invested in the Pool by withdrawing its moneys from the Pool under the Phased Withdrawal Plan, and believes that there will be adequate cash from all available sources to meet both the operating and the capital needs of the City through the fmal withdrawal date of February 2,1998. There can be no guarantee that the City's and the County's expectations regarding the Withdrawal Plan will be realized. In addition, the effect of interest rates and other market conditions may also result in negative consequences to the Pool and City's fmancial conditions.

CERTAIN LEGAL MA TIERS Upon the delivery of the Bonds, Stradling, Yocca, Carlson & Rauth, a Professional Corporation, Newport Beach, California, Bond Counsel, will issue its opinion approving the validity of the Bonds, the form of which opinion is set forth in APPENDIX _ hereto. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the City by the City Attorney, and for the Underwriter by its counsel, Nossaman, Guthner, Knox & Elliott, Los Angeles, California. TAX EXEMPTION In the opinion of Stradling, Y occa, Carlson & Rauth, a Professional Corporation, Newport Beach, California, Bond Counsel, under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions, interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of calculating the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations. In the further opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on the Bonds is exempt from present State of California personal income tax. Bond Counsel notes that with respect to corporations, interest on the Bonds may be included as an adjustment in the calculation of alternative minimum taxable income which may affect the alternative minimum tax liability of such corporations. Bond Counsel's opinion as to the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax .-- purposes of the interest on the Bonds is based upon certain representations of fact and certifications made by the City, the Underwriter and others and is subject to the condition ~t the City comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds to assure that the interest on the Bonds will not become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. Failure to comply with such requirements of the Code might cause interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of execution and delivery of the Bonds. The City has covenanted to comply with all such requirements. Should the interest on the Bonds become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes, the Bonds are not subject to early redemption and will remain outstanding until maturity or until redeemed in accordance with the Resolution. Bond Counsel's opinions may be affected by actions taken (or not taken) or events occurring (or not occurring) after the date hereof. Bond Counsel has not undertaken to determine, or to inform any person, whether any such actions or events are taken or do occur. Although Bond Counsel has rendered an opinion that the on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes provided that the City continues to comply with certain requirements of the Code, the ownership of the Bonds and the accrual or receipt of interest on the Bonds may otherwise affect the tax liability of certain persons. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any such tax consequences. Accordingly, before purchasing any of the Bonds, all potential purchasers should consult their tax advisors with respect to collateral tax consequences with respect to the Bonds. LA\952800005 24 --- _0'_'. Certain agreements, requirements and procedures contained or referred to in the Resolution, the Tax Certificate and other relevant documents may be changed, and certain actions (including, without limitation, the defeasance of the Bonds) may be taken, under the circumstances and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in such documents. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion as to any Bond or the interest thereon if any such change occurs or action is taken upon the advice or approval of bond counsel other than Stradling, Y occa, Carlson & Rauth. ABSENCE OF LITIGATION To the best knowledge of the City there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation at law or in equity before or by any court or governmental agency or body pending or threatened against the City to restrain or enjoin the authorization, execution or delivery of the Bonds, or the collection of ad valorem taxes for payment of the Bonds pursuant to the Resolution, or in any way contesting or affecting validity of the Bonds, the Resolution or the agreement for the sale of the Bonds. RATING [Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, a division of McGraw-Hill, ("Standard & Poor's") and Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's) have assigned their municipal bond rating of"_" and "_" respectively, to the Bonds with the understanding that upon delivery of the Bonds, a policy insuring the payment when due of the principal of and interest with respect to the Bonds will be issued by the Insurer.

There is no assurance that either rating will continue for any given period oftime or that it will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by such rating agency, if, in the judgment of such rating agency, circumstances so warrant. The City and the Insurer undertake no responsibility either to bring to the attention of the Owners the downward revision or withdrawal of any rating obtained or to oppose any such revision or withdrawal. Any such downward revision or withdrawal of such rating may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Bonds.] UNDERWRITING The original purchase price to be paid for the Bonds, upon execution and delivery thereof, is $ , being the principal amount of the Bonds less an Underwriter's discount of $ , plus accrued interest of$ . The Underwriter intends to offer the Bonds to the public initially at the prices and/or yield set forth on the cover page of this Official Statement, plus accrued interest from 1, 1995, which prices or yields may subsequently change without any requirement of prior notice. LA \952800005 25 -..- -.-.--.-. .. -. The Underwriter reserves the right to join with dealers and other underwriters in offering the Bonds to the public. The Underwriter may offer and sell Bonds to certain dealers (including dealers depositing Bonds into investment trusts) at prices lower than the public offering prices, and such dealers may reallow any such discounts on sales to other dealers.

CITY OF POW A Y By: Title: - LA\952800005 27 __no .. - - APPENDIX A CITY OF POWAY GENERAL DEMOGRAPIDC AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION The following material is descriptive of the City of Po way and the surrounding areas of San Diego County. It has been prepared by or excerpted from sources as noted herein and has not been reviewed by Bond Counselor the Underwriter. History and Location Poway developed as an unincorporated community until November 1980, when its 33,500 residents voted to incorporate an area of about 38 square miles. It began its formal existence as a City on December 1, 1980. In November, 1986, the City annexed an additional 1,325 acres, for a total area of about 40 square miles. Poway is located inland about three miles east ofInterstate Highway 15, and is surrounded on three sides by the City of San Diego. Driving distance southerly to downtown San Diego or the San Diego International Airport is about 25 miles. The terrain is hilly and steep in some areas with gentle slopes in the center of the City. Poway is relatively new in that over 70% of the housing stock postdates 1970. Climate - Poway, as part of San Diego County, has a relatively dry climate and its inland location spares it much of the summer fog experienced along the coast. Temperatures are frost-free over 350 days per year, and the City receives on the average approximately 11 inches ofrain, principally between the months of October and April. Population At incorporation in 1980, there were about 33,500 in the City limits. Poway has grown to 46,579 and expects to be built out according to general plan estimates at 52,000. Poway is a low density community predominately of single family homes. Table 1 illustrates comparative population figures. - A-I LA\9S280000S - . --- --- - ~ ';f!. ~ . ~~MN~<-NNN~~NNN~<~~ .... ~~O-~~~~~~Q~~~-~_~ "l ~~ci~~Z~M~ci~~O~M~Z~ ... ~~v N ~N_N_~VM~M N ... ., - - E '8, ~ ~ M....NMN-~N~~~...~...-......-~ ....

EBI is a classification developed exclusively by Sales & Marketing Management to distinguish it from other sources reporting income statistics. EBI is defined as person income less personal tax and non-tax payments - a number often referred to as "disposable" or "after-tax" income. Personal income is the aggregate of wages and salaries, other labor related income (such as employer contributions to private pension funds), proprietor's income, rental income (which includes imputed rental income of owner-occupants ofnon-farm.dwellings), dividends paid by corporations, interest income from all sources, and transfer payments (such as pensions and welfare assistance). Deducted from this total are personal taxes (federal, state, and local), non-tax payments (fines, fees, penalties, etc.), and personal contributions to social insurance.

Housing The average selling price for new and existing single family homes is approximately $281,000. 1990 median income for Poway was to be $53,252, highest of incorporated cities in the County. The median age of Po way residents is 32.6 years, and the family/household size was 3.14 in 1995. Owner occupancy is high, and Poway is predominantly a single family community. Employment The City of Po way is primarily a residential community, thus, there are few major employers in the community. The City itself, the Pomerado Hospital District, and the Poway Unified School District are the largest employers in the area. Numerous small businesses make up the rest of the employment base in the community. In addition, there are plans in place to add -- to the employment base by developing the South Poway Industrial Park. Civilian labor force statistics for the City are unavailable.
