NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Recitals. The above recitals are true and correct. SECTION 2. Determinations. This legislative body hereby makes the following determinations pertaining to the proposed issuance of the Bonds: (a) The Goals and Policies generally require that the full cash value of the properties within Improvement Area A of the Community Facilities District subject to the levy of the special taxes must be at least 4 times the principal amount of the Bonds (as defined below) and the principal amount of all other bonds outstanding that are secured by a special tax levied pursuant to the Act on property within Improvement Area A or a special assessment levied on property within Improvement Area A (collectively, "Land Secured Bonded Indebtedness"). The Act authorizes the City Council, acting as the legislative body of the Community Facilities District, to sell the Bonds only if the City Council has determined prior to the award of the sale of the Bonds that the value of such properties within Improvement Area A will be at least 3 times the amount of such Land Secured Indebtedness. The value of the property within Improvement Area A of the Community Facilities District which will be subject to the special tax to pay debt service on the Bonds will be at least 3.80 times but less than 4 times the amount of the Land Secured Bonded Indebtedness. The Goals and Policies further provide that the full cash value of each development area for which no final subdivision map has been filed must also be at least 4 times the Land Secured Bonded Indebtedness allocable to each such property. The value of each such development area will be less than 4 times the Land Secured Indebtedness allocable to one or more of such areas. The Goals and Policies do, however, provide that a bond issue for a community facilities district with a value-to-debt ratio of less than 4:1 but equal to or greater than 3:1 may be approved, in the sole discretion of the City Council, upon a determination by the City Manager, after consultation with the Director of Finance, bond counsel, the underwriter and the financial advisor (collectively, the "City's Financing Team"), that a value-to-debt ratio of less than 4:1 is financially prudent under the circumstances of the particular community facilities district. The City Manager has consulted with the City's Financing Team regarding the value-to-debt ratios within Improvement Area A as a whole and within the development areas within Improvement Area A. Based upon the review, findings and determination of the City Manager as set forth in Resolution 2002-266 Page 3 the staff report related to this matter which is incorporated herein by this reference, this City Council finds that the issuance of the Bonds is financially prudent under the existing facts and circumstances and approves the issuance of the Bonds. The foregoing determinations are based upon the full cash value of such propeff~es and development areas as shown upon an appraisal of the subject properties prepared by Bruce W. Hull & Associates, a state certified real estate appraiser, as defined in Business and Professions Code Section 11340(c). Such determination was made in a manner consistent with the Goals and Policies. (b) The terms and conditions of the Bonds as contained in the Bond Indenture are consistent with and conform to the Goals and Policies. (c) As a result of the current status of development of the property within Improvement Area A and the relative overall lack of diversity of ownership of property within Improvement Area A, the private sale of the Bonds will result in a lower overall cost to the Community Facilities District. SECTION 3. Bonds Authorized. Pursuant to the Community Facilities District Law, this Resolution and the Bond Indenture, special tax bonds of the Community Facilities District designated as "City of Chula Vista Community Facilities District No. 2001-1 (San Migueal Ranch) 2002 Improvement Area A Special Tax Bonds" (the "Bonds") in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $15,000,000 are hereby authorized to be issued.
