JOINT COMMUNITY FACILITIES AGREEMENT
THIS JOINT COMMUNITY FACILITIES AGREEMENT (the" Agreement") is entered
into effective as of the _ day of , 2005 (the "Effective Date"), by and among
the ORANGE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, a public entity (the "School District"), the CITY
OF ORANGE, a municipal corporation (the "City"), and SERRANO HEIGHTS EAST, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (the "Company"), and relates to the proposed formation of
COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2005-1 (TREMONT) OF THE ORANGE UNIFIED
SCHOOL DISTRICT (the "District").
RECITALS:
A. The Company is the developer of the land described in Exhibit" A" hereto in the
incorporated territory of the City of Orange, State of California (the "Property") and which is
proposed to constitute the land within the boundaries of the District.
B. The Company has requested that the Board of Education of the School District
the "Board of Education") form and establish the District pursuant to the provisions of the
Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, Chapter 2.5 (commencing with Section 53311) of
Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the California Government Code (the" Act"). The Company has
requested that the District issue special tax bonds (the "Bonds") and use the proceeds of the
Bonds (the "Bond Proceeds") to finance, among other things, the acquisition and/or
construction of various public facilities to be owned and operated by the City and certain City
fees, as described in Exhibit "B" hereto, including (i) certain public facilities to be constructed by
or on behalf of the Company and ultimately owned and operated by the City (the "City
Acquisition Facilities"), (ii) certain public facilities to be constructed and owned and operated
by the City (the "City Fee Facilities") in lieu of the payment of City Fees described in Exhibit B
hereto (the "City Fees"), and (iii) a capital facilities contribution to be made to the City in the
amount of $350,000 (the "City Capital Contribution"). Upon the construction of the City
Acquisition Facilities by or on behalf of the Company and the inspection and acceptance thereof
by the City as described herein, the City Acquisition Facilities shall become part of the City's
public facilities. The City Acquisition Facilities, the City Fee Facilities, and the City Capital
Contribution are collectively referred to herein as the "City Facilities."
C. The Company has sold the Property to MBK Tremont, LLC ("MBK") who has
obtained, or is obtaining, the necessary development approvals to construct approximately 97
attached condominium residential units On the Property (the "Project").
D. The District shall also finance certain facilities described in Exhibit D hereto to be
owned and operated by the School District (the "School Facilities"). It is expected that the cost
of the School Facilities financed by the Bonds will exceed the cost of the City Facilities financed
by the Bonds, therefore the School District is permitted to have primary responsibility for the
formation and administration of the District.
E. The provision of the School Facilities and the City Facilities is necessitated by the
development of the land within the District and the City and the School District find and
1-
determine that the residents of the City, the School District and the District will be benefited by
the construction and/ or acquisition of the City Facilities and the School Facilities and that this
Agreement is beneficial to the interests of such residents.
F. The parties hereto intend to have the District assist in financing the City Facilities
by disbursing Bond Proceeds to finance the construction and/ or acquisition of the City
Facilities; provided however, that the parties acknowledge that the priority of funding shall be
for financing costs, reserve fund deposits, capitalized interest, if any, and the School Facilities
listed in Exhibit D (herein, the "First Priority Uses"), with the City Facilities being funded to the
extent of available funds after satisfaction of the First Priority Uses. With respect to the funding
of the City Facilities, the priority shall be first, the financing of the City Capital Contribution;
second, the funding of an amount (the "City Fee Facilities Amount") to be used to finance the
City Fee Facilities; and third, the funding of an amount for the City Acquisition Facilities.
G. The City is authorized by Section 53313.5 of the Act to assist in the financing of
the acquisition and/ or construction of the City Facilities, and the School District is authorized to
assist in the financing of the School Facilities. This Agreement constitutes a joint community
facilities agreement, within the meaning of Section 53316.2 of the Act, by and among the City,
the School District and the Company, pursuant to which the District when formed will be
authorized to finance the construction and/ or acquisition of the City Facilities. As authorized
by Section 53316.6 of the Act, responsibility for constructing, providing and operating the
School Facilities is delegated to the School District and responsibility for constructing,
providing for and operating the City Facilities is delegated to the City to the extent set forth
herein.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth
herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Recitals. Each of the above recitals is incorporated herein and is true and correct.
2. Proposed Formation of District. At the request of the Company, the School
District will undertake to analyze the appropriateness of forming a community facilities district
to finance, among other things, the City Facilities. The School District will retain, at the
Company's expense, the necessary consultants to analyze the proposed formation of the
District, including an engineer, special tax consultant, bond counsel, appraiser and other
consultants deemed necessary by the School District. The City has retained counsel to assist it
in the review and drafting of this Agreement, and the City expects to retain a consultant to
assist it with the inspection and coordination of construction of the City Acquisition Facilities.
The Company agrees to promptly pay the fees and expenses of any such consultants retained by
the School District or the City, upon receipt of an invoice or invoices therefor, which costs
related to consultants engaged to assist in the inspection and coordination of construction of the
City Acquisition Facilities shall be a part of the Actual Costs (as defined in the last paragraph of
Section 5 below) of the City Acquisition Facilities.

3. Sale of Bonds and Use of Proceeds.
a) City Facilities Account. In the event the District is formed, the Board of
Education of the School District acting as the legislative body of the District may, in its sole
discretion, finance the design, construction and/ or acquisition of the School Facilities and City
Facilities by issuing the Bonds and levying special taxes of the District. The Bonds shall be
governed by the fiscal agent agreement or bond indenture to be hereafter executed in
connection with the issuance of the Bonds (the "Fiscal Agent Agreement"). Bond Proceeds to
the extent designated for the City Facilities shall be held, together with all Bond Proceeds
designated for the acquisition and/ or construction of School Facilities, by the fiscal agent for the
District (the "Fiscal Agent") in a special fund (however denominated in the Fiscal Agent
Agreement, but hereinafter referred to as the "Acquisition and Construction Fund") which shall
be invested by the Fiscal Agent and earn and accumulate its own interest. The portion of the
Bond Proceeds attributable to construction of the City Facilities shall be deposited into a
separate account of the Acquisition and Construction Fund for the City Facilities (however
denominated in the Fiscal Agent Agreement, but hereinafter referred to as the "City Facilities
Account"), and the Fiscal Agent Agreement shall provide that the City shall direct the
investment of amounts in the City Facilities Account subject to the permitted investments for
the Acquisition and Construction Fund specified in the Fiscal Agent Agreement.
b) Deposits. When the Bonds are issued, a portion of the Bond Proceeds shall be
deposited in (i) a special account designated as the "School Facilities Account" of the
Acquisition and Construction Fund, and (ii) the City Facilities Account. As of the date of this
Agreement, the School District does not know the amount, if any, which may be deposited in
the School Facilities Account, but currently estimates the amount to be deposited to be
3,312,569. Once a deposit is made to the City Facilities Account, the District shall notify the
City of the amount of such Bond Proceeds deposited to the City Facilities Account.
If for any reason the amount deposited to the City Facilities Account is less than
350,000, the Company shall, within five business days of the date of issuance of the Bonds,
remit to the City cash in an amount equal to the difference between the amount deposited to the
City Facilities Account and $350,000, which funds the City agrees to expend for costs of the
Grijalva Gym/Sports Center.
c) Credit For City Fees. To the extent that Bond Proceeds in excess of $350,000 are
deposited to the City Facilities Account, the amount in excess of $350,000, up to the next
196,548, shall be considered to be the "City Fee Facilities Amount" for purposes of this
Agreement. The City shall provide a dollar for dollar credit with respect to the City Fees for the
City Fee Facilities Amount. In the event that the City Fee Facilities Amount is less than the
amount of the City Fees (as shown in Exhibit B hereto), the City shall determine the specific fee
obligations to be so credited.
The School District and the District shall have no liability to the Company or any other
party with respect to the amount or allocation of credits against applicable City Fees provided
by the City. Nothing herein shall supersede the obligation of an owner of the Property to pay
the City Fees to the City when due. The purpose of this Agreement is to provide a mechanism
by which the District may issue the Bonds to provide a source of funds to finance City Fee
3-
Facilities, which, when and if the Bonds are issued and the City Capital Contribution is paid in
full from the City Facilities Account, may be used in lieu of the payment of City Fees and, when
and if other Bond proceeds are deposited to the City Facilities Account, to finance City
Acquisition Facilities. In the event that Bond Proceeds deposited in the City Facilities Account
are not available or sufficient to satisfy City Fee obligations after paying the City Capital
Contribution, then such owner shall remain obligated to pay the uncredited City Fees to the
City as a condition of receiving any further building permits for the Property.
d) Financing City Acquisition Facilities. In the event that Bond Proceeds deposited
to the City Facilities Account are in excess of $546,548, the excess shall be available to pay costs
of the City Acquisition Facilities, as provided in Section 5 below.
e) Discretion of School District. The Company acknowledges that the acquisition of
the City Facilities, induding the amount and timing for the delivery of all funding, required for
the City Facilities shall be in all respects subject to the sole discretion and approval of the City
and the School District, as applicable, and neither the City, the District nor the School District
shall be liable for the failure to issue the Bonds or the failure to issue the Bonds in an amount
sufficient to pay for all or any part of the City Facilities. In no event will an act, or an omission
or failure to act, excepting only in the event of the gross negligence or willful misconduct, by the
City, the School District or the District with respect to the disbursement or non-disbursement of
funds pursuant to this Agreement subject the District, the School District or the City to
pecuniary liability hereunder.
f) Conformity with Policies. The Bonds shall be issued only if in its sole discretion
the Board of Education determines that all requirements of state and federal law and all School
District policies have been satisfied or waived by the School District. In no event shall the
Company or the City have a right to compel the issuance of the Bonds.
The School District agrees to use its good faith efforts to issue the Bonds in an amount
sufficient to fund the School Facilities and, after payment of costs of issuance and
administrative expenses, as much of the City Facilities Account that can be supported by the
rate and method of apportionment and the value of the property in the District; subject however
to market conditions, the School District's Local Goals and Policies for Community Facilities
Districts, and the advice of the consultants engaged by the School District in connection with
the issuance of the Bonds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the School District shall have no
liability if the Bonds are not issued, or are issued in an amount that is not sufficient to finance
all or any part of the City Facilities.
4. City Capital Contribution, City Fee Facilities: Disbursements; Advances.
a) Disbursement. From time to time following the funding of the City Facilities
Account of the Acquisition and Construction Fund, (i) the City may notify the District in
writing of a request for the disbursement of all or any portion of the first $350,000 on deposit in
the City Facilities Account for the payment of the City Capital Contribution, and (ii) with
respect to the next $196,548 of the amount in the City Facilities Account, the City may notify the
District in writing and request a disbursement from the City Facilities Account to fund City Fee
Facilities. Upon receipt of any such request from the City, the District shall wire transfer or
4-
I
I
otherwise pay to the City such requested funds to the extent that Bond Proceeds are available in
the City Facilities Account of the Acquisition and Construction Fund for such purpose. The
City agrees to apply any amounts received by it pursuant to this paragraph to costs of Grijalva
Gym/Sports Center (with respect to amounts drawn in respect of the City Capital Contribution)
or to costs of the City Fee Facilities (with respect to draws in regard to the City Fee Facilities
Amount), and not for purposes of reinveshnent.
b) Withheld or Delayed Payments. The Fiscal Agent shall make disbursements
from the Acquisition and Construction Fund in accordance with the terms of the Fiscal Agent
Agreement and the School District and the District shall take such actions as are necessary to
cause the Fiscal Agent to make such disbursements in a timely fashion, but they shall not be
responsible for any actions or failure to act on the part of the Fiscal Agent. The District shall
make the City an intended third party beneficiary of the Fiscal Agent Agreement, so that the
City may, at its option, enforce the draw and inveshnent provisions with respect to amounts in
the City Facilities Account against the Fiscal Agent.
c) Expenditures. The City reasonably expects and agrees to expend amounts
disbursed to the City from the City Facilities Account on costs of the Grijalva Gym/Sports
Center or City Fee Facilities, as applicable, within three years from the date the Bonds are
issued, but the City shall have no liability if for any reason amounts are not so spent.
d) Internal Controls. The City agrees to maintain adequate internal controls over its
payment function and to maintain accounting records in accordance with generally accepted
accounting procedures with respect to the expenditure of amounts disbursed to it from the City
Facilities Account. The City will, upon request, provide to the District the records as to the use
of funds remitted to it from the City Facilities Account for purposes of calculating the District's
arbitrage rebate obligations.
e) Advances. Prior to the formation of the District or the issuance of the Bonds, and
in conjunction with the issuance of building permits for the construction of homes within the
Project, MBK, or its successors or assigns, may elect or be required to ad vance City Fees to the
City (the" Advances"). It is the intent of the City and the Company to finance the City Fee
Facilities with the Bond Proceeds so that all of the City Fees for all units in the Project are
credited as specified in Section 3(c) above. Accordingly, for all Advances made, or to be made,
by MBK or its successors, prior to the issuance of the Bonds, the City shall hold such Advances
unexpended pending payment for the City Fee Facilities through the Bond Proceeds. If the
Bonds are issued and funds in respect of the City Fee Facilities Amount are deposited in the
City Facilities Account, then the City shall pay the Company (and the Company only) an
amount equal to all Advances but solely from such Advances (excluding interest earnings
thereon) up to the amount of funds deposited to the City Facilities Account in respect of the
City Fee Facilities Amount (i.e. the amount deposited to the City Facilities Account up to
196,548 in excess of $350,000). The City shall only be required to hold the Advances
unexpended until March 1, 2006. After such date, the City may expend such Advances, in
which case City Fee Facilities equal to such expended amount shall be deemed paid and such
Advances will not be paid to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City shall make
no payments to the Company of the Advances made by MBK or another party unless and until
the Company provides evidence satisfactory to the City Attorney of its legal right to such
5-
payments (which may be evidenced by an agreement or letter signed by the party that paid the
Advances acknowledging or consenting to such payments being made to the Company).
f) Construction. The City will complete the plans and specifications for
construction of the City Fee Facilities in a form and substance which is satisfactory to the City.
The Company agrees hereby that the owner of the Property will be solely responsible to pay
any and all City Fees relating to the development of the Property in excess of the amount of the
credit for the City Fees provided by Section 3(c) of this Agreement, which City Fees shall be due
at the time such City Fees would otherwise be collected for the Project.
5. City Acquisition Facilities. The following provisions of this Section 5 shall apply
solely with respect to those City Acquisition Facilities to be constructed by the Company and
acquired by the City with Bond Proceeds.
a) Construction and Acquisition of City Acquisition Facilities. The
Company will complete the plans and specifications for such City Acquisition Facilities
herein, the "Plans and Specifications"). The Plans and Specifications shall include the
City's standard specifications and the Plans and Specifications and bid documents shall
be subject to the City approval, which shall not be umeasonably withheld. The City
agrees to process any Plans and Specifications and bid documents for approval in a
manner consistent with current City policies and procedures. The Company will
complete construction of City Acquisition Facilities as required by the City's conditions
of approval of the Project or as otherwise mutually agreed between the City and the
Company.
b) Public Works Requirements. In order to ensure that the City Acquisition
Facilities to be constructed by the Company and acquired with Bond Proceeds will be
constructed as if they had been constructed under the direction and supervision, or
under the authority of, the City, so that they may be acquired by the City pursuant to
Government Code Section 53313.5, the Company shall comply with all of the following
requirements:
i) The City and the Company agree that the City Acquisition
Facilities are of local, and not state-wide concern, and that the provisions of the
California Public Contract Code shall not apply to the construction of the City
Acquisition Facilities. The City and the Company agree that the Company shall
award all contracts for the construction of the City Acquisition Facilities, and that
this Agreement is necessary to assure the timely and satisfactory completion of
the City Acquisition Facilities and that compliance with the Public Contract Code
with respect to the City Acquisition Facilities would work an incongruity and
would not produce an advantage to the City or the District. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall award all contracts for construction of the City
Acquisition Facilities as set forth in this Agreement. The Company shall
establish a list of written criteria acceptable to the City Engineer (including
experience, ability to perform on schedule and financial ability) to determine
qualified general contractors for the construction of the City Acquisition
Facilities. Such general contractors shall provide reasonable opportunity for
6-
c.
I
local contractors to participate as subcontractors. Formal bids need be requested
from only those entities on the list of qualified contractors; and if no such list is
established for any specific City Acquisition Facility, the Company shall solicit at
least three bids for such City Acquisition Facility by means of an informal
bidding process acceptable to the City Engineer. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
bids for each City Acquisition Facility shall be submitted in sealed envelopes to
the City Engineer prior to the time and date prescribed for bid opening. The City
Engineer shaIl open the bids and read them aloud immediately following the
submittal deadline. Upon written request of the City Engineer, the Company
shall provide an analysis of bids for construction of the City Acquisition Facilities
to be constructed under the supervision of the Company.
ii) The contract or contracts for the construction of such City
Acquisition Facilities shall be awarded to the responsible bidder(s) submitting
the lowest responsive bid(s) for the construction of such City Acquisition
Facilities as certified by the Company to the City and the School District. Any
determination to award a contract other than to the apparent lowest bidder shall
be subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
iii) The Company shall require, and the specifications and bid and
contract documents shaIl require all such Contractors to pay prevailing wages
and to otherwise comply with applicable provisions of the State law relating to
public works projects to the extent applicable to a non-governmental entity
constructing infrastructure to be acquired by a public entity.
iv) Contractors shall be required to furnish labor and material
payment bonds and contract performance bonds in an amount equal to 100
percent of the contract price naming the Company and the City as obligees and
issued by insurance or surety companies approved by the City. All such bonds
shall be in a form approved by the City. Rather than requiring its contractors to
provide such bonds, the Company may elect to provide the same for the benefit
of its contractors.
v) All such contractors shall be required to provide proof of
insurance coverage in scope and amount acceptable to the City's Risk Manager
throughout the term of the construction of such City Acquisition Facilities which
they will construct in conformance with the approved Plans and Specifications.
I
vi) In accordance with this Section 5(b), the Company shall be
deemed the awarding body and shall be solely responsible for compliance and
enforcement of the provisions of the State Labor Code and Government Code to
the extent expressly applicable to a non-governmental entity constructing
infrastructure to be acquired by a public entity.
c) Inspection; Completion of Construction. The City shall have primary
responsibility for providing inspection of the construction of the City Acquisition
Facilities constructed by the Company to ensure that the construction is accomplished in
7-
accordance with the Plans and Specifications. The City's personnel and consultants shall
have access to the site of the work at all reasonable times for the purpose of
accomplishing such inspection. Upon Substantial Completion (as defined below) of the
construction of such City Acquisition Facilities by Company, the Company shall notify
the City in writing that the construction of such City Acquisition Facilities has been
Substantially Completed. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Substantially
Complete" or "Substantial Completion" with respect to a City Acquisition Facility
means that such City Acquisition Facility is substantially complete in accordance with its
Plans and Specifications and is available for use by the public for its intended purpose,
notwithstanding any final "punch list" items stilI required to be completed, unless such
items are required for the safe operation of such City Acquisition Facility, and shall be
based upon approval of the City's inspectors, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Upon receiving such written notification from the Company, and upon receipt of
written notification from its inspectors that construction of any of the City Acquisition
Facilities by Company has been Substantially Completed, the City shall within 15 days
of such notification from its inspectors notify the Company in writing that the
construction of such City Acquisition Facilities has been satisfactorily completed, or if
not satisfactorily completed, provide a punch list of items required to be satisfactorily
completed. Upon receiving notification of satisfactory completion (including any and all
punch list items), the Company shall forthwith file with the County Recorder of the
County of Orange a Notice of Completion pursuant to the provisions of Section 3093 of
the Civil Code. The Company shall furnish to the City a duplicate copy of each such
Notice of Completion showing thereon the date of filing with the County Recorder. Any
actual costs incurred by the City in inspecting and approving the construction of any
City Acquisition Facilities by Company (including the cost of the consultants engaged
by the City in connection with such inspection and/ or for any cost review referenced in
the next paragraph) shall be paid by the Company when and as due but in any event
prior to the City's acceptance of and payment for the City Acquisition Facility, subject to
reimbursement to the Company as part of the Actual Cost of the City Acquisition
Facility, without interest, from the City Facilities Account of the Acquisition and
Construction Fund if funds are available therefore.
d) Liens. Upon the expiration of the time for the recording of claim of liens
as prescribed by Sections 3115 and 3116 of the Civil Code, the Company shall provide to
the City such evidence or proof as the City shall require that all persons, firms and
corporations supplying work, labor, materials, supplies and equipment on behalf of
Company for the construction of any City Acquisition Facilities have been paid, and that
no claims of liens have been recorded by or on behalf of any such person, firm or
corporation. Rather than await the expiration of the said time for the recording of claims
of liens, the Company may elect to provide to the City a title insurance policy or other
security acceptable to the City guaranteeing that no such claims of liens will be recorded
or become a lien upon the Property. In any event, no property to be conveyed to the City
in connection with any City Acquisition Facilities shaII be subject to the levy of any
special taxes by the District, or subject to any other lien or encumbrance unless such
liens or encumbrances are reasonably detennined by the City to not interfere with the
actual or intended use of the land or interest therein, or subject to the City to any
8-
I
monetary obligations, and the Company shall discharge any such lien or encumbrance
prior to the use of funds in the City Facilities Account to pay for any such City
Acquisition Facility. If the land underlying the City Acquisition Facility is within the
boundaries of any existing community facilities district, the Company shall be deemed
to have satisfied the foregoing sentence about discharging such lien if the land, while
owned by a governmental agency, is not taxable property or is identified in the rate and
method of apportionment as being exempt from the special tax to be levied by the
community facilities district and the Company provides written confirmation to the City
from the community facilities district administrator and/ or special tax consultant that
the land is non-taxable or that the exemption will apply to the land upon acquisition
thereof by the City. If the land is so identified and confirmed as being non-taxable or
exempt, the Company shall not be required to make any payments, cancel the special
taxes, Or otherwise record any notices of cessation, cancellation, or termination with
respect to such community facilities district, and the lien of the special tax shall be a
permitted exception to title to such land.
e) Acquisition, Acquisition Price; Source of Funds. Provided the Company
has complied with the requirements of this Agreement, the City agrees to acquire the
City Acquisition Facilities from the Company. Notwithstanding the above, nothing
herein shall be construed as requiring Company to construct and deliver any City
Acquisition Facility to the extent it is not already obligated to do the same under the
entitlements and other legal conditions to the development of land in the District, or to
the extent that the Bond Proceeds deposited to the City Facilities Account are not in
excess of the amount of the City Capital Contribution and the City Fee Facilities
Amount. The price to be paid by the District for the acquisition of such City Acquisition
Facilities by the City (the" Acquisition Price") shall be the lesser of (i) the value of the
City Acquisition Facilities, determined as provided below, (ii) the total of the Actual
Costs of the City Acquisition Facilities (as such term is defined below) or (iii) the moneys
available for such purpose in the City Facilities Account (after the withdrawal of the City
Capital Contribution and the City Fee Facilities Amount). The Company shall transfer
ownership of the City Acquisition Facilities to the City by grant deed, bill of sale or such
other documentation as the City may require. Upon the transfer of ownership of the
City Acquisition Facilities or any portion thereof from the Company to the City and
expiration of any maintenance period required by the City, the City shall be responsible
for the maintenance of the City Acquisition Facilities or the portion transferred.
I
The Company shall submit to the City, prior to any payment in respect of any
City Acquisition Facility, evidence of the Actual Costs thereof. If the City Engineer
reasonably determines (in a written letter to the Company) that the Actual Cost is
excessive and that the value of the City Acquisition Facilities is less than the total
amount of such Actual Costs, the Acquisition Price to be paid by the District for the
acquisition of the City Acquisition Facilities shall be the value thereof as reasonably
determined by the City Engineer or a consultant engaged by the City for such purpose.
To the extent funds are available therein, the Acquisition Price of any City
Acquisition Facilities may be determined and paid out of the City Facilities Account of
the Acquisition and Construction Fund upon transfer of ownership of the City
9.
Acquisition Facilities to the City upon a determination of satisfactory completion of such
City Acquisition Fadlity, after deduction for any City consultant costs incurred in
connection with this Agreement not theretofore paid by the Company. Company shall
submit a payment request in the form of Exhibit "C" to the City which upon approval by
the City, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, shall be submitted to the
District.
Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this section, the sole source of funds for
the acquisition by the City of the City Acquisition Facilities or any portion thereof shall be the
Bond Proceeds made available by the District (after the withdrawal of the City Capital
Contribution and the City Fee Facilities Amount). If for any reason beyond the City's control,
the proceedings for the formation of the District are not completed, the Bonds are not sold, or
the amount of Bond Proceeds deposited to the City Facilities Account are not in excess of
546,548, the City shall not be required to pay any costs of any City Acquisition Facilities to the
Company. In such event, the Company shall complete the design and construction and offer to
the City ownership of such portions of City Acquisition Facilities as are required to be
constructed by the Company as a condition to recordation of subdivision maps for the Property,
land use entitlements, or any other agreement between Company and the City, but need not
