The owner intending to prepay the Special Tax obligation on one or more Assessor's Parcel(s) shall provide the Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay. It shall be. a condition precedent to prepayment that the owner intending to prepay the Special Tax must pay to the County all past due Special Tax on the Assessor's Parcel to be prepaid and provide proof of payment to the Administrator.- Promptly following receipt of such notice, the Administrator shall notify the owner of such Assessor's Parcel(s) of the prepayment amount of such .Assessor's Parcel(s). ' The Administrator may charge.a reasonable fee for providing this figure. Prepayment must be made not less than 90 days prior to the next occurring date that Bonds may be redeemed from the proceeds of such prepayment pursuant to the Indenture. The.Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as summarized,below (capitalized terms as defined above or below): - Bond Redemption Amount Plus Redemption Premium Plus Defeasance Amount Plus Administrative Fees and Expenses Less Reserve Fund Credit Less Amount of Current Special Taxes Paid Total: Equals Prepayment Amount 8/31/2004 6 As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount(defined below) shall be calculated as follows: Paragraph No. 1. For Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property intended to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Special Tax for such Assessor's Parcels for the current Fiscal Year. 2. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Paragraph 1 by the total Maximum Special Tax of all Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property for the current Fiscal Year. 3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Paragraph 2 by the Outstanding Bonds as defined in this Section-G to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and prepaid, and round the result up to the nearest multiple of$5,000 (the Bond Redemption Amount). 4. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount less the par amount of Bonds scheduled to mature on the Redemption Date by the applicable redemption premium (the Redemption Premium). 5. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the Redemption Date to the Redemption Date. 6. Compute the amount the Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the reinvestment of the Prepayment Amount from the date of prepayment.until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment. 7 Add the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraph 5 and subtract the amount computed pursuant to Paragraph 6 (the Defeasance Amount). 8. Determine the administrative fees and expenses associated with the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest.the prepayment proceeds, the costs of redeeming Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment,and the redemption-(the Administrative Fees and Expenses). 9. Determine the reserve fund credit (the Reserve Fund Credit) which 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 0) 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. 10. The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraphs 3, 4, 7 and 8; less (i) the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraph 9 and (ii) the Amount of Current Special Taxes Paid (the Prepayment Amount). 8/31/2004 7 11. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraphs 3, 4, 7 (if greater than zero), and 9 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the Indenture and be used to redeem Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments (as appropriate). The amount computed pursuant to. Paragraph 8 shall be retained by the Administrator. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel that is prepaid, the City Council shall (i) cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of the Special Tax and the release of.the Special Tax lien on such Assessor's Parcel, (ii) notify the County that the Special Tax, if any, remaining on the secured tax roll for the Assessor's Parcel has been satisfied and that the County should remove such amounts from the secured tax roll, and (iii) refund the owner for any Special Tax payments made on the Assessor's Parcel after the date of prepayment. From and after the prepayment, 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 the Maximum Special Tax that may be levied on Taxable Property within CFD No. 2004-1 after the proposed prepayment is at least 1.1 times the maximum annual debt service on all Outstanding Bonds. 2. Prepayment in Part The Maximum Special Tax on an Assessor's Parcel of Taxable Property may be partially prepaid. The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in Section H.1, except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated according to the following formula: PP = (PH xF)+ G Where these terms are defined as follows: PP = the partial prepayment PH= the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section H.1, minus the amounts determined in Paragraph No. 8 of Section H.1. . F the percent by which the owner of an Assessor's Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the Maximum Special Tax. G = the amounts determined in Paragraph No. 8 of Section H.1.

This can be done most economically through the establishment of a Community Facilities District (CFD) and the sale of bonds to finance public improvements for the project being developed on Blocks 104 and 105 in Downtown in Huntington Beach and known as The Strand. At the City Council's Meeting of August 16, 2004 the City Council passed two resolutions indicating that it would hold an election with the intent to form a CFD and its intention to establish said district at the City Council meeting of September 20, 2004. Funding Source: Funding for this CFD will come from bonds to be issued in the future. A special tax levy will be paid by CIM/Huntington, LLC to pay the bonds over the life of these bonds. Neither the City nor the Redevelopment Agency has any responsibility for the repayment of the bonds. The costs associated with the issuance of the bonds are funded from the bonds. Recommended Action: 1) Open, Conduct and Close Public Hearing. 2) Adopt Resolution No.�� of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Establishing City of Huntington Beach Community Facilities District No. 2004-1 (The Strand) and Establishing the Boundaries Thereof. s REQUEST FOR ACTION MEETING DATE: 9/20/2004 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER:ED 04-29 3) Adopt Resolution No.Q00 V- 77 of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Calling a Special Election and Submitting to the Voters of the City of Huntington Beach Community Facilities District No. 2004-1 (The Strand) Propositions Regarding Incurrence of Bonded Indebtedness the Annual Levy of Special Taxes Within the Community Facilities District to Pay Principal and Interest on Bonds Thereof, and the Establishment of an Appropriations Limit. 4) Hold Election. 5) Adopt Resolution No. boa - of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Declaring the Results of the Consolidated Special Election for the City of Huntington Beach Community Facilities District No. 2004-1 (The Strand) County of Orange, State of California on the Propositions with Respect to (i) Incurring Bonded Indebtedness in an Original Amount not to Exceed $15,000,000, (ii) the Annual Levy of Special Taxes to Pay Principal and Interest on Bonds, and (iii) the Establishment of an Appropriation Limit and Authorizing the Recordation of the Notice of Special Tax Lien. Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the attached resolutions Analysis: The Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) was approved by the City Council and Redevelopment Agency on June 17, 1999. Since then, the Agency has entered into five Implementation Agreements clarifying some of the terms of the original DDA. On June 25, 2004, the Redevelopment Agency conveyed the properties to the developer. These properties encompass a portion of Block 104 and Block 105 in downtown Huntington Beach. The scope of development includes a 500 space underground parking structure, a 149 room hotel, plus approximately 110, 000 sq. ft. of commercial and office space. Under the terms of the DDA, the Agency has pledged to repay the developer for extraordinary costs associated with development not to exceed $7.9 million. This is referred to as the Developer Advance. The Agency has agreed to repay the Developer Advance from a portion of the project's public revenues including property tax increment, transient occupancy taxes, and sales taxes over 25 years. The interest rate that this obligation carries is 10%. However, there is a provision within the DDA that affords the Agency the opportunity to lower its costs through the issuance of Community Facility District bonds. The rate on the Developer Advance would be adjusted to reflect the rate of the bonds. Since bond rates are currently significantly below the 10% rate, this will permit the Agency to save hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual interest expense. This development project requires a substantial amount of public facilities, such as water, sewer, storm drainage and a subterranean public parking structure. In addition to a new 96" diameter storm drain project along 6th Street, all the utilities (water lines, electrical lines, cable systems and gas lines) running through the existing properties will be relocated around the project. Fifth Street will also be reconstructed on top of the underground parking structure. To finance these public improvements, a Community Facilities District (CFD) is proposed to be formed under the terms of Chapter 3.56 of the Municipal Code of the City of Huntington G:\Gus\CIM104-105\CFD\RCAEstablishing CFD.doc -2- 9/7/200411:25 AM REQUEST FOR ACTION MEETING DATE: 9/20/2004 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER:ED 04-29 Beach and Chapter 2.5 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the California Government Code. This section is most commonly known as "Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982." While a CFD is most often used to finance public infrastructure in new subdivisions on the fringes of urbanized areas, it works equally well for redevelopment projects within urbanized areas. Most recently in Huntington Beach the City has formed CFDs for the Hyatt Resort and Spa, Bella Terra and the McDonnell Center Business Park. The Huntington Beach Community Facilities District No. 2004-1 is limited to the boundaries of The Strand project as specified in the prior Resolution of Intention adopted on August 16, 2004 (Resolution No. 2004-68). A special property tax sufficient to pay debt service on the bonds based upon the value of the private improvements to be developed as part of The Strand will be levied on the property within the District sufficient to retire the bonds. This value will be confirmed by independent appraisal and will be part of the disclosure in the Official Statement. Under no circumstances would the City's general fund or any other funds be obligated to pay debt service. It is requested that the City Council first hold a public hearing on this matter, form the district and then hold an election of the voters of the district, which has only two property owners: CIM/Huntington, LLC and Dolores L. Cracchiolo and Salvator W. as Trustees of Declaration of Trust dated June 12, 1979 an undivided 53% interest to Subtrust C and a 47% undivided interest to Subtrust A. Sometime in the future, after the formation of the Community Facilities District, the City Council will be asked to approve the sale of the bonds to fund the eligible improvements. It is anticipated that the bond sale will take place no earlier than the end of the year. Environmental Status: Implementing actions associated with The Strand are covered under Environmental Impact Report No. 01-02 adopted October 21, 2002.

This procedure shall 9/2/2004 5 Resolution No. 2004-76 be exclusive and its exhaustion by any owner shall be a condition precedent to any legal action by such owner. H. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX The following definitions apply solely to this Section H: Amount of Current Special Taxes Paid means the amount of the Special Tax levied against the subject Assessor's Parcel that was paid to the County or the City by the owner of the subject Assessor's Parcel and would be applied to debt service payments on the Redemption Date and the Interest Payment Date immediately following the Redemption Date. Outstanding Bonds means all Bonds that are deemed to be outstanding under the Indenture the day immediately preceding the next Interest Payment Date. Redemption Date means the Interest Payment Date on which Bonds are proposed to be redeemed from the prepayments of the Special Tax. 1. Prepayment in Full The Special Tax obligation applicable to such Assessor's Parcel may be fully prepaid and the obligation of such Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax permanently satisfied as described herein. The owner intending to prepay the Special Tax obligation on one or more Assessor's Parcel(s) shall provide the Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay. It shall be a condition precedent to prepayment that the owner intending to prepay the Special Tax must pay to the County all past due Special Tax on the Assessor's Parcel to be prepaid and provide proof of payment to the Administrator. Promptly following receipt of such notice, the Administrator shall notify the owner of such Assessor's Parcel(s) of the prepayment amount of such Assessor's Parcel(s). The Administrator may charge a reasonable fee for providing this figure. Prepayment must be made not less than 90 days prior to the next occurring date that Bonds may be redeemed from the proceeds of such prepayment pursuant to the Indenture. The Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as summarized below (capitalized terms as defined above or below): Bond Redemption Amount - Plus Redemption Premium Plus Defeasance Amount Plus Administrative Fees and Expenses Less Reserve Fund Credit Less Amount of Current Special Taxes Paid Total: Equals Prepayment Amount 9/2/2004 6 Resolution No. 2004-76 As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as follows: Paragraph No. 1. For Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property intended to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Special Tax for such Assessor's Parcels for the current Fiscal Year. 2. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Paragraph 1 by the total Maximum Special Tax of all Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property for the current Fiscal Year. 3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Paragraph 2 by the Outstanding Bonds as defined in this Section G to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and prepaid, and round the result up to the nearest multiple of$5,000 (the Bond Redemption Amount). 4. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount less the par amount of Bonds scheduled to mature on the Redemption Date by the applicable redemption premium (the Redemption Premium). 5. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the Redemption Date to the Redemption Date. 6. Compute the amount the Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the reinvestment of the Prepayment Amount from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment. 7. Add the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraph 5 and subtract the amount computed pursuant to Paragraph 6 (the Defeasance Amount). 8. Determine the administrative fees and expenses associated with the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the costs of redeeming Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption(the Administrative Fees and Expenses). 9. Determine the reserve fund credit (the Reserve Fund Credit) which 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. 10. The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraphs 3, 4, 7 and 8, less (i) the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraph 9 and (ii) the Amount of Current Special Taxes Paid (the Prepayment Amount). 9/2/2004 7 Resolution No. 2004-76 11. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraphs 3, 4, 7 (if greater than zero), and 9 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the Indenture and be used to redeem Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments (as appropriate). The amount computed pursuant to Paragraph 8 shall be retained by the Administrator. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel that is prepaid, the City Council shall (i) cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of the Special Tax and the release of the Special Tax lien on such Assessor's Parcel, (ii) notify the County that the Special Tax, if any, remaining on the secured tax roll for the Assessor's Parcel has been satisfied and that the County should remove such amounts from the secured tax roll, and (iii) refund the owner for any Special Tax payments made on the Assessor's Parcel after the date of prepayment. From and after the prepayment, 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 the Maximum Special Tax that may be levied on Taxable Property within CFD No. 2004-1 after the proposed prepayment is at least 1.1 times the maximum annual debt service on all Outstanding Bonds. 2. Prepayment in Part The Maximum Special Tax on an Assessor's Parcel of Taxable Property may be partially prepaid. The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in Section H.1, except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated according to the following formula: PP=(PH x F)+G Where these terms are defined as follows: PP = the partial prepayment PH= the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section H.1, minus the amounts determined in Paragraph No. 8 of Section H.1. F = the percent by which the owner of an Assessor's Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the Maximum Special Tax. G = the amounts determined in Paragraph No. 8 of Section H.1. The owner of an Assessor's Parcel who desires to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax shall notiPj the Administrator of (i) such owner's intent to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax, and (ii) the percentage by which the Maximum Special Tax shall be prepaid. The Administrator shall promptly provide the owner with a statement of the amount required for the partial prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax for an Assessor's Parcel following receipt of the request. 9/2/2004 8 Resolution No. 2004-76 With respect to any Assessor's Parcel that is partially prepaid, CFD No. 2004-1 shall (i) distribute the funds remitted to it according to Paragraph 11 of Section H.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of CFD No. 2004-1 that there has been a partial prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax and that a portion of the Maximum Special Tax equal to the outstanding percentage (i.e., 100% - F) of the remaining Maximum Special Tax shall continue to be authorized to be levied on such Assessor's Parcel pursuant to Section D. 9/2/2004 9 Res.

Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount less the par amount of Bonds scheduled to mature on the Redemption Date by the applicable redemption premium (the Redemption Premium). 5. Compute.the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the Redemption Date to the Redemption Date. 6.

Add the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraph 5 and subtract -the amount computed pursuant to Paragraph 6 (the Defeasance Amount). 8. Determine the administrative fees and expenses associated with the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the costs of redeeming Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption(the Administrative Fees and Expenses). 9. Determine the reserve fund credit (the Reserve Fund Credit) which 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. 10.

Prepayment in Part The Maximum Special Tax on an Assessor's Parcel of Taxable Property may be partially prepaid. The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in Section H.1, except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated according to the following formula: PP = (PH xF) + G Where these terms are defined as follows: PP = the partial prepayment PH = the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section H.1, minus the amounts determined in Paragraph No. 8 of Section H.1. F = the percent by which the owner of an Assessor's Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the Maximum Special Tax. G = the amounts determined in Paragraph No. 8 of Section H.1.

At its meeting on November 15, 2004, commencing at 7:00 p.m., the City Council will conduct consolidated public hearings regarding the formation of the District and the authorization of bonded indebtedness for the District. Immediately following that hearing, the Council will adopt a resolution calling and scheduling consolidated special elections on November 15, 2004, regarding the District incurring bonded indebtedness, the levy of special taxes on taxable property in the District to pay debt service on bonds, and the establishment of an appropriations limit for the District. That resolution will instruct the City Clerk to deliver an official ballot and other election documents to the landowner-voters in the District. This would necessitate the City Clerk delivering the ballots and other election materials to the landowner-voters at that time and the landowner voters voting and returning their ballots immediately thereafter. It is intended that the election will be completed and that the City Council will adopt a resolution declaring the results of the election at the meeting. In order to facilitate the election process and as a matter of convenience, we are enclosing herewith the Official Ballot for CIM/Huntington, LLC, together with the following election documents: (a) Ballot Pamphlet and Instructions to Voter, (b) a Sample Ballot (which is identical to the Official Ballot), (c) an official return envelope for returning the voted ballot to the City Clerk and (d) a copy of the Resolution of Formation to be adopted by the City Council on November 15, 2004.

Failure to vote for any of the three propositions on the ballot will necessitate starting over with the formation proceedings.

As a matter of convenience, we have predated the certification as of November 15, 2004, as that is the date that should be inserted therein. Please do not make any changes or additions to the ballot.

The owner intending to prepay the Special Tax obligation on one or more Assessor's Parcel(s) shall provide the Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay. It shall be a condition precedent to prepayment that the owner intending to prepay the Special Tax must pay to the County all past due Special Tax on the Assessor's Parcel to be prepaid and provide proof of payment to the Administrator. Promptly following receipt of such notice, the Administrator shall notify the owner of such Assessor's Parcel(s) of the prepayment amount of such Assessor's Parcel(s).

For Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property intended to be prepaid, compute .the Maximum Special Tax for such Assessor's Parcels for the current Fiscal Year. 2. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Paragraph 1 by the total Maximum Special Tax of all Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property for the current Fiscal Year. 3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Paragraph 2 by the Outstanding Bonds as defined in this Section G to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and prepaid, and round the result up to the nearest multiple of$5,000 (the Bond Redemption Amount). 4. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount less the par amount of Bonds scheduled to mature on the Redemption Date by the applicable redemption premium (the Redemption Premium). 5. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the Redemption Date to the Redemption Date. 6. Compute the amount the Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the reinvestment of the Prepayment Amount from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment. 7. Add the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraph 5 and subtract the amount computed pursuant to Paragraph 6 (the Defeasance Amount). 8. Determine the administrative fees and expenses associated with the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the costs of redeeming Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption-(the Administrative Fees and Expenses). 9. Determine the reserve fund credit (the Reserve Fund Credit) which 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. . 10.

It shall be a condition precedent to prepayment that the owner intending to prepay the Special Tax must pay to the County all past due Special Tax on the Assessor's Parcel to be prepaid and provide proof of payment to the Administrator. Promptly following receipt of such notice, the Administrator shall notify the owner of such Assessor's Parcel(s) of the prepayment amount of such Assessor's Parcel(s). The Administrator may charge a reasonable fee for providing this figure. Prepayment must be made not less than 90 days prior to the next occurring date that Bonds may be redeemed from the proceeds of such prepayment pursuant to the Indenture. The Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as summarized below (capitalized terms as defined above or below): Bond Redemption Amount Plus Redemption Premium Plus Defeasance Amount Plus Administrative Fees and Expenses Less Reserve Fund Credit Less Amount of Current Special Taxes Paid Total: Equals Prepayment Amount 8/31/2004 6 As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as follows: Paragraph No. 1. For Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property intended to be prepaid, compute the Maximum Special Tax for such Assessor's Parcels for the current Fiscal Year. 2. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Paragraph 1 by the total Maximum Special Tax of all Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property for the. current Fiscal Year. 3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Paragraph 2 by the Outstanding Bonds as defined in this Section G to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and prepaid, and round the result up to the nearest multiple of$5,000 (the Bond Redemption Amount). 4. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount less the par amount of Bonds scheduled to mature on the Redemption Date by the applicable redemption premium (the Redemption Premium). 5. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the Redemption Date to the Redemption Date. 6. Compute the amount the Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the reinvestment of the Prepayment Amount from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment. 7. Add the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraph 5 and subtract the amount computed pursuant to Paragraph 6 (the Defeasance Amount). 8. Determine the administrative fees and expenses associated with the costs of computation of the`prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the costs of redeeming Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the Administrative Fees and Expenses). 9. Determine the reserve fund credit (the Reserve Fund Credit) which 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. 10. The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraphs 3, 4, 7 and 8, less (i) the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraph 9 and (ii) the Amount of Current Special Taxes Paid (the Prepayment Amount). 8/31/2004 7 • 1 11. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraphs 3, 4, 7 (if greater than zero), and 9 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the Indenture and be used to redeem Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments (as appropriate). The amount computed pursuant to Paragraph 8 shall be retained by the Administrator. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel that is prepaid, the City Council shall (i) cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of the Special Tax and the release of the Special Tax lien on such Assessor's Parcel, (ii) notify the County that the Special Tax, if any, remaining on the secured tax roll for the Assessor's Parcel has been satisfied. and that the County should remove such amounts from the secured tax roll, and (iii) refund the owner for any Special Tax payments made on the Assessor's Parcel after the date of prepayment. From and after the prepayment, 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 the Maximum Special Tax that may be levied on Taxable Property within CFD No. 2004-1 after the proposed prepayment is at least 1.1 times the maximum annual debt service on all Outstanding Bonds. 2. Prepayment in Part The Maximum Special Tax on an Assessor's Parcel of Taxable Property may be partially prepaid. The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in Section H.1, except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated according to the following formula: PP= (PH xF) + G Where these terms are defined as follows: PP = the partial prepayment PH= the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section H.1, minus the amounts . determined in Paragraph No. 8 of Section H.1. F = the percent by which the owner of an Assessor's Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the Maximum Special Tax. G = the amounts determined in Paragraph No. 8 of Section H.1. The owner of an Assessor's Parcel who desires to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax shall notify the Administrator of (i) such owner's intent to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax, and (ii) the percentage by which the Maximum Special Tax shall be prepaid. The Administrator shall promptly provide the owner with a statement of the amount required for the partial prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax for an Assessor's Parcel following receipt of the request. 8/31/2004 8 i With respect to any Assessor's Parcel that is partially prepaid, CFD No. 2004-1 shall (i) distribute the funds remitted to it according to Paragraph 11 of Section H.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of CFD No. 2004-1 that there has been a partial prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax and that a portion of the Maximum Special Tax equal to the outstanding percentage (i.e., 100% - F) of the remaining Maximum Special Tax shall continue to be authorized to be levied on such Assessor's Parcel pursuant to Section D. 8/31/2004 9 EXHIBIT "C" SAMPLE BALLOT MEASURE PROPOSITION A Shall Community Facilities District 2004-1 (The Strand) of the City of Huntington Beach be authorized to levy special taxes, subject to the accountability measures set forth in Resolution No. 2004-68, within the district pursuant to the rate and method of apportionment of special taxes (the "Rate and Method") set forth-in such resolution for the purpose of financing the Special Tax Requirement as defined in the Rate and Method?

The Review/Appeal Committee shall promptly review the appeal, and if necessary, meet with the owner, consider written and oral evidence regarding the amount of the Special Tax, and resolve the appeal. If the Review/Appeal Committee's decision requires the Special Tax to be modified or changed in favor of the owner, a cash refund shall not be made (except for the last year of the levy), but an adjustment shall be made to the next Special Tax levy. This procedure shall 7/26/2004 5 be exclusive and its exhaustion by any owner shall be a condition precedent to any legal action by such owner. H. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX The following definitions apply solely to this Section H:, Amount of Current Special Taxes Paid means the amount of the Special Tax levied against the subject Assessor's Parcel that was paid to the County or the City by the owner of the subject Assessor's Parcel and would be applied to debt service payments on the Redemption Date and the Interest Payment Date immediately following the Redemption Date. Outstanding Bonds means all Bonds that are deemed to be outstanding under the Indenture the day immediately preceding the next Interest Payment Date. Redemption Date means the Interest Payment Date on which Bonds are proposed to be redeemed from the prepayments of the Special Tax. 1. Prepayment in Full The Special Tax obligation applicable to such Assessor's Parcel may be fully prepaid and the obligation of such Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax permanently satisfied as described herein. The owner intending to prepay the Special Tax obligation on one or more Assessor's Parcel(s) shall provide the Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay. It shall be a condition precedent to prepayment that the owner intending to prepay the Special Tax must pay to the County all past due Special Tax on the Assessor's Parcel to be prepaid and provide proof of payment to the Administrator. Promptly following receipt of such notice, the Administrator shall notify the owner of such Assessor's Parcel(s) of the prepayment amount of such Assessor's Parcel(s). The Administrator may charge a reasonable fee for providing this figure. Prepayment must be made not less than 90 days prior to the next occurring date that Bonds may be redeemed from the proceeds of such prepayment pursuant to the Indenture.

For Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property intended to.be prepaid, compute the Maximum Special Tax for such Assessor's Parcels for the current Fiscal Year. 2. Divide the Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to Paragraph 1 by the total Maximum Special Tax of all Assessor's Parcels of Taxable Property for the current Fiscal Year. 3. Multiply the quotient computed pursuant to Paragraph 2 by the Outstanding Bonds as defined in this Section G to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and prepaid, and round the result up to the nearest multiple of$5,000 (the Bond Redemption Amount). 4. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount less the par amount of Bonds scheduled to mature on the Redemption Date by the applicable redemption premium (the Redemption Premium). 5. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the Redemption Date to the Redemption Date. 6. Compute the amount the "Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the reinvestment of the Prepayment Amount from the`date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment. 7. Add the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraph 5 and subtract the amount computed pursuant to Paragraph 6 (the Defeasance Amount). 8. Determine the administrative fees and expenses associated with the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the costs of redeeming Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption(the Administrative Fees and Expenses). 9. Determine the reserve fund credit (the Reserve Fund Credit) which 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. 10. The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraphs 3, 4, 7 and 8, less (i) the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraph 9 and (ii) the Amount of Current Special Taxes Paid (the Prepayment Amount). 7/26/2004 7 I l.' From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraphs 3, 4, 7 (if greater than zero), and 9 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the Indenture and be used to redeem Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments (as appropriate). The amount computed pursuant to Paragraph 8 shall be retained by the Administrator. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel that is prepaid, the City Council shall (i) cause a suitable notice to be recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of the Special Tax and the release of the Special Tax lien on such Assessor's Parcel, (ii) notify the County that the Special Tax, if any, remaining on the secured tax roll for the Assessor's Parcel has been satisfied and that the County should remove such amounts from the secured tax roll, and (iii) refund the owner for any Special Tax payments made on the Assessor's Parcel after the date of prepayment. From and after the prepayment, 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 the Maximum Special Tax that may be levied on Taxable Property within CFD No. 2004-1 after the proposed prepayment is at least 1.1 times the maximum annual debt service on all Outstanding Bonds. 2. Prepayment in Part The Maximum Special Tax on an Assessor's Parcel of Taxable Property may be partially prepaid. The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in Section H.1, except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated according to the following formula: PP =(PH xF) + G Where these terms are defined as follows: PP = the partial prepayment PH= the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section H.l, minus the amounts determined in Paragraph No. 8 of Section H.1. F = the percent by which the owner of an Assessor's Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the Maximum Special Tax. G the amounts determined in Paragraph No. 8 of Section H.1. The owner of an Assessor's Parcel who desires to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax shall notify the Administrator of (i) such owner's intent to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax, and (ii) the percentage by which the Maximum Special Tax shall be prepaid.

This can be done most economically through the establishment of a community facilities district (CFD) and the sale of bonds to finance public improvements for the project being developed on Blocks 104 and 105 in Downtown in Huntington Beach and known as The Strand. Funding Source: None as a result of this action (Future bond proceeds not to exceed $15 million). Recommended Action: MOTION TO: 1) Adopt Resolution No.aoo1,\—\D8 , A Resolution of Intention of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach with Respect to Establishment of Proposed City of Huntington Beach Community Facilities District No. 2004-1 (The Strand) and 2) Adopt Resolution No. A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Declaring Necessity for Proposed City of Huntington Beach Community Facilities District No. 2004-1 (The Strand) to Incur a Bonded Indebtedness. Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the attached resolutions. E- \ C) REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: August 16, 2004 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: ED 04-20 Analysis: The Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) was approved by the City Council and Redevelopment Agency on June 17, 1999. Since then, the Agency has entered into five Implementation Agreements clarifying some of the terms of the original DDA. On June 25, 2004, the Redevelopment Agency conveyed the properties to the developer. These properties encompass a portion of Block 104 and Block 105 in downtown Huntington Beach. The scope of development includes a 500 space underground parking structure, a 149 room hotel, plus approximately 110, 000 sq. ft. of commercial and office space. Under the terms of the DDA, the Agency has pledged to repay the developer for extraordinary costs associated with development not to exceed $7.9 million. This is referred to as the Developer's Advance. The Agency has agreed to repay the Developer Advance from a portion of the project's public revenues including property tax increment, transient occupancy taxes, and sales taxes over 25 years. The interest rate that this obligation carries is 10%. However, there is a provision within the DDA that affords the Agency the opportunity to lower its costs through the issuance of Community Facility District bonds. The rate on the Developer Advance would be adjusted to reflect the rate of the bonds. Since bond rates are currently significantly below the 10% rate, this will permit the Agency to save hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual interest expense. . This development project requires a substantial amount of public facilities, such as water, sewer and drainage. In addition to a new.96" diameter storm drain project along 6th Street, all the utilities (water lines, electrical lines, cable systems and gas lines) running through the existing properties will be relocated around the project. Fifth Street will also be reconstructed on top of the underground parking structure. To finance these public improvements, a community facilities district (CFD) is proposed to be formed under the terms of Chapter 3.56 of the Municipal Code of the City of Huntington Beach and Chapter 2.5 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the California Government Code. This section is most commonly known as "Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982." While a CFD is most often used to finance public infrastructure in new subdivisions on the fringes of urbanized areas, it works equally well for redevelopment projects within urbanized areas. Most recently in Huntington Beach the City has formed CFDs for the Hyatt Resort and Spa, Bella Terra and the McDonnell Center Business Park. The Huntington Beach Community Facilities District No. 2004-1 is limited to the boundaries of The Strand project as specified in the Resolution of Intention submitted herewith. A special property tax sufficient to pay debt service on the bonds based upon the value of the private improvements to be developed as part of The Strand will be levied on the property within the District sufficient to retire the bonds. This value will be confirmed by independent appraisal and will be part of the disclosure in the Official Statement. Under no circumstances would the City's general fund or any other funds be obligated to pay debt service. The first of the two attached resolutions ("Resolution of Intention") establishes the boundaries of the District and defines the types of facilities that may be financed with bond proceeds. It sets September 20, 2004 as the date for the public hearing on the formation of the District and requires a notice to be mailed to each registered voter and each landowner within the D:\Documents and Settings\dapkusp\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK80\RCAResoflntention.doc -2- August 4,2004 2:48 PM REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: August 16, 2004 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: ED 04-20 District. The resolution also provides the voting procedures for the election that will immediately follow the public hearing. The second resolution ("Resolution of Necessity') makes a finding that there exists a need to incur a bonded indebtedness in an amount of up to $15 million, the cost of issuance to be included, that all non-exempt parcels will pay the levy shown in Exhibit "B," and the same notice provisions as in the first resolution. Sometime in the future, after the formation of the Community Facilities District, the City Council will be asked to approve the sale of the bonds to fund the eligible improvements. It is anticipated that the bond sale will take place no earlier than the end of the year. Environmental Status: Implementing actions associated with The Strand are covered under Environmental Impact Report.No. 01-02 adopted October 21, 2002.

The owner intending to prepay the Special Tax obligation on one or more Assessor's Parcel(s) shall provide the Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay.

Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount less the par amount of Bonds scheduled to mature on the Redemption Date by the applicable redemption premium (the Redemption Premium). 5. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the Redemption Date to the Redemption Date. 6 Compute the amount the Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the reinvestment of the Prepayment Amount from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment. 7. Add the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraph 5 and subtract the amount computed pursuant to Paragraph 6 (the Defeasance Amount). 8. Determine the administrative fees and expenses associated with the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the costs of redeeming Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the Administrative Fees and Expenses). 9. Determine the reserve fund credit (the Reserve Fund Credit) which 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. 10. The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraphs 3, 4, 7 and 8, less (i) the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraph 9 and (ii) the Amount of Current Special Taxes Paid (the Prepayment Amount). 7/26/2004 7 11. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to Paragraphs 3, 4, 7 (if greater than zero), and 9 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the Indenture and be used to redeem Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments (as appropriate). The amount computed pursuant to Paragraph 8 shall be retained by the Administrator.

From and after the prepayment, 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 the Maximum Special Tax that may be levied on Taxable Property within CFD No. 2004-1 after the proposed prepayment is at least 1.1 times the maximum annual debt service on all Outstanding Bonds. 2. Prepayment in Part The Maximum Special Tax on an Assessor'.s Parcel of Taxable Property may be partially prepaid. The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in Section 11.1, except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated according to the following formula: PP = (PH xF) + G Where these terms are defined as follows: PP = the partial prepayment PH= the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section H.1, minus the amounts determined in Paragraph No. 8 of Section H.1. F = the percent by which the owner of an Assessor's Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the Maximum Special Tax: G the amounts determined in Paragraph No. 8 of Section H.1: The owner of an Assessor's Parcel who desires to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax shall notify the Administrator of (i) such owner's intent to partially prepay the Maximum Special Tax, and (ii) the percentage by which the Maximum Special Tax shall be prepaid.
