TUSTIN PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY
REVENUE BONDS
(Tustin Ranch)
INTRODUCTION
This Official Statement, including the cover, inside cover,
the table of contents and the Appendices, is provided to furnish
information in connection with the sale by the Tustin Public
Financing Authority (the "Authority") of its $37,829,000*
aggregate principal amount of Revenue Bonds (Tustin Ranch),
Series A (the "Series A Bonds"). The Series A Bonds will be
issued by the Authority pursuant to an Indenture of Trust, dated
as of , 1995 (the "Indenture,,), between the Authority
and State Street Bank and Trust Company of California, N.A., as
trustee (the "Trustee").
The proceeds from the sale of the Series A Bonds will be
used principally to purchase certain limited obligation
improvement bonds of Reassessment District No. 95-1 [the
"Assessment Bonds (95-1)"] of the City of Tustin (the "City").
The Assessment Bonds (95-1) are being issued by the City pursuant
to the Refunding Act of 1984 for 1915 Improvement Act Bonds (the
"Act") and further pursuant to a Fiscal Agent Agreement, dated as
of , 1995 (the "Fiscal Agent Agreement"), between the
City and State Street Bank and Trust Company of California, N.A.,
as fiscal agent (the "Fiscal Agent"), and will be secured by
certain unpaid reassessments levied by the City pursuant to the
Act. The proceeds from the sale of the Assessment Bonds (95-1)
will be used principally to refund the outstanding fixed rate
improvement bonds (the "Prior Fixed Rate Bonds") of the City's
previously-formed Assessment District No. 85-1 and Assessment
District No. 86-2 (the "Prior Districts',). See "THE REFUNDING
PLAN" herein. Together, the Prior Districts include the entire
area of a mixed-use development project of the Irvine Company
known as the "Tustin Ranch".
The City is located in central Orange County, about 40 miles
southeast of Los Angeles and 80 miles north of San Diego. The
City spans approximately 11.2 square miles and adjoins the cities
of Irvine, Orange and Santa Ana, as well as unincorporated areas
of the County of Orange. As of January 1, 1995, the City's
current population was estimated at 62,500, representing an
approximate 4.5% increase from January, 1994.
* Preliminary, subject to change
Reassessment District No. 95-1 (Tustin Ranch) (the
"Reassessment District") is bounded generally .by the Santa Aha
Freeway (Interstate 5), Browning. Ayenue and Tustin Ranch Road,
Santiago Canyon Road, and jamb°ree~Ro'ad. See "ADDendi~ A -
Reassessment Diagram" herein.
In legal proceedings concluded in 1986, the City established
Assessment District No. 85-1 ("A.D. 85-1"), then comprised of 19
assessed parcels covering a total area of approximately 522
acres. A.D. 85-1 is bounded by the Santa Ana Freeway (Interstate
5), Browning Avenue, Irvine Boulevard and.Jamboree Road. Within
A.D. 85-1, approximately 52 acres is occupied by the Tustin
Autocenter; 120 acres is either occupied by or designated for the
Tustin Market Place and Tustin Ranch Plaza, retail shopping
centers, and other commercial and retail development; and the
remaining 350 acres are either occupied by or designated for
residential development. In August, 1986, the City issued
$50,650,000 principal amount of variable rate improvement bonds
for A.D. 85-1, and proceeds of the issue have been used to fund
the design and construction of public improvements within A.D.
85-1, including streets and other traffic access and control
facilities, drainage facilities, and utility improvements. The
planned improvements are substantially completed. As of March,
1994, there were approximately 1,315 assessed parcels from the
original 19 parcels.
In legal proceedings concluded in 1988, the City established
Assessment District No. 86-2 ("A.D. 86-2"), then comprised of 56
assessed parcels covering a total area of approximately 2,260
acres, 1,440 of which are within the City boundary and the
remaining portion of which are located primarily in an
unincorporated area of the County (to the northeast of the City),
with a small portion of A.D. 86-2 falling within the southeastern
border of the City of Orange. A.D. 86-2 is bounded by Irvine
Boulevard, Tustin Ranch Road, santiago Canyon Road, and Jamboree
Road. As to the portion of A.D. 86-2 within the City,
approximately 30 acres are either occupied by or designated for
commercial and retail development; 150, acres are occupied by the
Tustin Ranch Golf Club; 670 acres are either occupied by or
designated for residential development; and the balance to
various other uses. In September, 1988, the City issued
$81,400,000 principal amount of variable rate improvement bonds
for A.D. 86-2, and proceeds of the issue have been used to fund
the design and construction of public improvements within A.D.
86-2 of a similar nature to those for A.D. 85-1. Again, the
public improvements are substantially complete. As of March,
1994, there were approximately 2,298 assessed parcels from the.
original 56 parcels.
The respective Indentures of Trust (the "Prior Indentures")
pursuant to which the variable rate improvement bonds of the
Prior Districts (the "Prior Variable Rate Bonds") were issued
each provided for the conversion of a portion of the Prior Bonds
to a fixed rate mode (the "Prior Fixed Rate Bonds") upon the
occurrence of certain events prescribed by the Prior Indentures
(primarily, the transfer to third parties of title to portions of
the assessed property by The Irvine Company, the owner of
substantially all of the assessed property at the time of
issuance of the Prior Variable Rate Bonds). The Prior Indentures
and related legal documents for the Prior Districts also provided
for conversion to a fixed rate of the unpaid assessments on the
related parcels (the "Fixed Rate Parcels"), the conveyance of
which caused the conversion of the subject portion of the Prior
Variable Rate Bonds into the Prior Fixed Rate Bonds. The
Reassessment District consists of all Fixed Rate Parcels from the
Prior Districts which have an unpaid reassessment.
Of the $132,050,000 principal amount of Prior Variable Rate
Bonds, $53,024,000 have been converted to Prior Fixed Rate Bonds,
of which $51,756,377 remain outstanding and will be redeemed on
September 2, 1995, from the proceeds of sale of the Series A
Bonds and other available funds. See "THE REFUNDING PLAN"
herein.
The Series A Bonds are limited obligations of the Authority,
payable, solely from Revenues (as defined in the Indenture) of the
Authority, consisting primarily of payments received by the
Authority from the City in connection with the Assessment Bonds
(95-1), which payments are in turn secured by liens of the unpaid
reassessments levied upon the parcels in the Reassessment
District. The Series A Bonds are not a debt of the City, the
State of California or any of its political subdivisions, and
neither the faith and credit nor the general taxing power of the
City, the State or any of its political subdivisions is pledged
to the payment of the Series A Bonds.
Pursuant to the Act, reassessment installments sufficient to
pay the principal of and interest on the Assessment Bonds (95-1)
are to be billed on the regular County property tax bills and are
to be remitted to the City in accordance with established
procedures for such remittances. Pursuant to the Indenture, the
Authority has assigned to the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Owners from time to time of the Series A Bonds, all right, title
and interest of the Authority in the Assessment Bonds (95-1),
including the entitlement to receive payment of the principal of
and interest on said Assessment Bonds (95-1).
If a delinquency' occurs in the payment of any reassessment
installment securing the Assessment Bonds (95-1), the Fiscal
Agent will have a duty only to transfer into the Redemption Fund
for the Assessment Bonds (95-1) from the Reserve Fund for the
Assessment Bonds (95-1) (but only to the extent funds are
available therein) the amount necessary to pay principal of or
interest on the Assessment Bonds (95-1) when due. There is no
assurance that sufficient funds will be available in the Reserve
Fund for the Assessment Bonds (95-1) for this purpose. The City
has. determined, pursuant to Section 8769 of the California
Streets and Highways Code, that it will not obligate itself to
advance funds from its treasury to cover'any delinquency on the
reassessments or payments on the Assessment Bonds (95-1).
The City has covenanted in the Fiscal Agent Agreement that,
no later than October I each year, judicial foreclosure
proceedings will be commenced and diligently prosecuted to
enforce payment of reassessm~nt!~h~ilment~ which are then
delinquent in an amount of $2,000 or more and to enforce payment
of other, delinquent installments of a lesser amount in certain
prescribed circumstances. .See "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS - Covenant
of Superior Court Foreclosure" herein.
THE REFUNDIN~ PL~I~
The Refunding Plan for the Prior Variable Rate Bonds and the
Prior Fixed Rate Bonds (the "Refunding Plan") is being
implemented in two separate components. The first component is
related to the Series A Bonds and pertains to refunding of the
Prior Fixed Rate Bonds, as discussed herein.
The second component.is related to proposed Reassessment
District No. 95-2 and the proposed issuance and sale by the City
of its Series A of variable rate limited obligation improvement
bonds (the "Series A Assessment Bonds (95-2)") of said
Reassessment. District No. 95-2 and provides for the proposed
refunding of the remaining outstanding Prior Variable Rate Bonds.
The proposed issuance and Sale by the City of its Series A of
variable rate limited obligation improvement bonds, if, as and
when authorized, will be the subject of a separate Official
Statement pertaining to said proposed issue and is not further
discussed herein.
Pursuant to the Indenture, proceeds from the sale of the
Series A Bonds will be deposited as follows:
(a) An amount equal to the Reserve Requirement with respect
to the Series A Bonds, as established in accordance with the
definition of Reserve Requirement in the Indenture, will be
deposited in the Reserve Account.
(b) The remainder of the proceeds will be deposited in the
Program Fund.
On the Closing Date, the Trustee will withdraw from the
Program Fund an amount equal to the purchase price of the
Assessment Bonds (95-1), as established by the Bond Purchase
Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement (95-1)"), dated as of ,
1995, by and between the City and the Authority, and relating to
the acquisition by the Authority of the Assessment Bonds (95-1).
Payment of said purchase price will be made by the Trustee on
behalf of the Authority, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (95-
1), and the ownership of the Assessment Bonds (95-1) will be
registered to the Trustee.
Payment of said purchase price of the Assessment Bonds (95-
1) will be made by the Trustee to State Street Bank and Trust
Company of California, N.A., as Fiscal Agent pursuant to the
Fiscal Agent Agreement. Pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Fiscal
Agent Agreement, proceeds of sale of the Assessment Bonds (95-1)
will be deposited or transferred as follows:
(a) An amount representing capitalized interest With
respect to the Assessment Bonds (95-1) will be deposited in the
Redemption Fund for the Assessment Bonds (95-1).
(b) An amount representing the Reserve Requirement for the
Assessment Bonds (95-1), as established pursuant to the Fiscal
Agent Agreement, will be deposited in the Reserve Fund for the
Assessment Bonds (95-1).
(c) A prescribed amount will be deposited in the
Improvement Fund to finance a portion of the cost of the
remaining components of the public improvement projects of'the
Prior Districts.
(d) A prescribed amount will be deposited in the Costs of
Issuance Fund for the Assessment Bonds (95-1).
(e) A prescribed amount will be transferred to State Street
Bank and Trust Company of California, N.A., as escrow bank (the
"Escrow Bank"), pursuant to the Escrow Agreement (the "Escrow
Agreement"), dated as of , 1995, by and between the
City and the Escrow Bank.
Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Bank will
establish two separate escrow funds (the "Escrow Funds"), one
(the "85-1 Escrow Fund") for the redemption on the Redemption
Date of the Prior Fixed Rate Bonds of A.D. 85-1 and the other
(the "86-2 Escrow Fund") for the redemption on the Redemption
Date of the Prior Fixed Rate Bonds of A.D. 86-2. As provided in
the Escrow Agreement, the moneys deposited in the Escrow Funds
from proceeds of sale of the Assessment Bonds (95-1) will be
supplemented by transfers from prescribed funds held and
administered by the trustee under the Prior Indentures in amounts
certified by a nationally recognized firm of independent
certified public accountants to be sufficient to redeem the Prior
Fixed Rate Bonds'on the Redemption Date.
The Prior Fixed Rate Bonds are the result of eleven (11)
separate conversion/reoffering transactions under the Prior
Indentures as follows:

So long as'any Series A Bond is registered in the name of
DTC, or its nominee, all payments with respect to the principal,
premium (if any) and interest with respect to such Series A Bond
and all notices with respect to such Series A Bond shall be made
and given, respectively, as provided in the Representation

consent or other action and give DTC notice of such record date
not less than 15 calendar days in advance of such record date to
the extent possible.

SECURITY FOR THE .SERIES A BONDS
The Series A BOnds are secured by the Revenues of the
Authority, as defined in the Indenture and consisting primarily
of principal of and interest on the Assessment Bonds (95-1),
whether as a result of scheduled debt service or redemption of
any Assessment Bond (95-1) in advance of maturity, together with
all investment earnings on any moneys held in the funds or
accounts established under the Indenture except the Rebate Fund.
Pursuant to the Indenture, a Reserve Account will be funded with
proceeds' of. the Series A Bonds in the amount of $ .
As prescribed by the Indenture, the Trustee will be the
registered Owner of the Assessment Bonds (95-1) and will
therefore receive from the Fiscal Agent the payments of the
principal'of and the redemption premiums, if any, and interest on
the Assessment Bonds (95-1), all of which payments constitute
Revenues upon receipt by the Trustee. Pursuant to the Act, the
City is required annually to transmit to the County Auditor the
respective amounts of individual reassessment installments on all
unpaid reassessments, the sum of which individual reassessment
installments is sufficient to pay the principal of and interest
on the Assessment Bonds (95-1).as such principal and interest
become due and payable. Said reassessment installments are then
billed on the regular County property tax bills and are remitted
to the City in accordance with established procedures for such
remittances.
Assuming timely payment by the respective property owners of
the obligations (including the reassessment installments) billed
on the regular County property tax bills, and further assuming
timely remittance by the County to the City of the amount of such
reassessment installments thereby collected, the City will have
sufficient funds from the reassessment installments to make
timely payment to the Fiscal Agent of each March 2 interest
payment and each September 2 principal and interest payment on
the Assessment Bonds (95-1), as the same become due and payable.
In December, 1994, and as a consequence.of the bankruptcy
filing of the County of Orange (see "SPECIAL RISK FACTORS -
Delays in Remittances" herein), the City experienced temporary
delays in the remittance by the County of certain amounts
collected for the City on the County's property tax bills,
including installments of assessments related to the Prior Fixed
Rate Bonds. However, as of January 31, 1995, all amounts related
to property tax bill collections on behalf of the City had been
remitted to the City in full, and the March 2, 1995, interest
payments and September 2, 1995 principal and interest payments to
holders of the Prior Fixed Rate Bonds were made on time.
The City presently expects that future remittances of such
amounts will be made to the City on a timely basis and in
accordance with established procedures for such remittances.
However, as the County reduces staffing levels in response to its
financial problems, neither the City nor the Authority can be
certain that the City's expectation of timely remittances will be
met, and there may be further delays in such remittances.from the
County to the City which could lead to delays in principal or
interest payments to the Owners of the Series A Bonds.
THE SERIES A BONDS ARE LIMITED OBLIGATIONS OF THE AUTHORITY,
PAYABLE SOLELY FROM AND SECURED SOLELY BY THE REVENUES PLEDGED
THEREFOR IN THE INDENTURE. THE SERIES A BONDS ARE NOT A DEBT OF
THE CITY, THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OR ANY OF ITS POLITICAL
SUBDIVISIONS, AND NEITHER THE FAITH AND CREDIT NOR THE GENERAL
TAXING POWER OF THE CITY, THE STATE OR ANY OF ITS POLITICAL
SUBDIVISIONS IS PLEDGED TO THE PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL OR INTEREST
ON THE SERIES A BONDS. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE SERIES A BONDS OR
ANY INTEREST OR REDEMPTION PREMIUM THEREON BE PAYABLE OUT OF ANY
FUNDS OR PROPERTIES OTHER THAN THOSE OF THE AUTHORITY AS SET
FORTH IN THE INDENTURE. NEITHER THE SERIES A BONDS NOR THE
OBLIGATION TO MAKE PAYMENTS UNDER THE ASSESSMENT BONDS (95-1)
CONSTITUTE AN INDEBTEDNESS OF THE CITY, THE STATE OR ANY
POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF, WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY
CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY DEBT LIMITATION OR RESTRICTION.
Pa~me~ts Of ASsessment Bonds
The Assessment Bonds (95-1) are secured by unpaid
reassessments levied against private property within the
Reassessment District, pursuant to the Act. Such unpaid
reassessments (together with interest thereon) and moneys in the
Redemption Fund established for the Assessment Bonds (95-1)
constitute a trust fund for the redemption and payment of the
principal of, Premium, if any, and interest on the Assessment
Bonds (95-1). Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Assessment Bonds (95-1) are payable exclusively out of the
Redemption Fund. Pursuant to the Fiscal Agent Agreement, a
Reserve Fund has been established for the Assessment Bonds (95-1)
in the amount of $ .
THE ASSESSMENT BONDS (95-1) ARE NOT SECURED BY THE GENERAL
TAXING POWER OF THE CITY, THE STATE OR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION
OF THE STATE, AND NEITHER THE CITY NOR THE STATE HAS PLEDGED ITS
FULL FAITH AND CREDIT FOR THE PAYMENT THEREOF. PURSUANT TO
SECTION 8769 OF THE CALIFORNIA STREETS AND HIGHWAYS CODE, THE
CITY HAS ELECTED NOT TO OBLIGATE ITSELF TO ADVANCE~ AVAILABLE
FUNDS FROM THE CITY TREASURY TO CURE ANY DEFICIENCY WHICH MAY
OCCUR IN THE REDEMPTION FUND. A DETERMINATION NOT TO OBLIGATE
ITSELF, HOWEVER, SHALL NOT PREVENT THE CITY FROM SO ADVANCING
FUNDS IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION.
The reassessments levied in the Reassessment District and
each installment thereof and any interest and penalties thereon
constitute liens against the parcels of land on which they are
levied until the same are paid. The liens imposed in the
Reassessment District are subordinate to fixed special assessment
liens previously imposed upon the same property but have priority
over existing and future private liens and over any fixed special
assessment liens which hereafter be created against the property.
Such liens are co-equal to and independent of the lien for
general property taxes and special taxes. While there are no
prior special assessment liens on any of the parcels of land in
the Reassessment District, there are liens for special taxes and
the recurring lien for general property taxes. See "LAND
OWNERSHIP AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT - Estimated Direct and
Overlapping Debt" herein.
ALTHOUGH THE UNPAID REASSESSMENTS CONSTITUTE LIENS ON THE
PARCELS OF LAND ASSESSED, THEY DO NOT CONSTITUTE A PERSONAL
INDEBTEDNESS OF THE RESPECTIVE PROPERTY OWNERS. THERE IS NO
ASSURANCE THAT PRESENT PROPERTY OWNERS WILL REMAIN THE PROPERTY
OWNERS, THAT PROPERTY OWNERS WILL BE FINANCIALLY ABLE TO PAY
THEIR ASSESSMENTS, OR THAT PROPERTY OWNERS WILL IN FACT PAY SUCH
REASSESSMENT INSTALLMENTS EVEN THOUGH FINANCIALLY ABLE TO DO SO.
Under provisions of the Act, installments sufficient to meet
annual payments of principal and interest on the' Assessment Bonds
(95-1) are to be collected on the regular property tax bills sent
by the Orange CountY Tax Collector to owners of the parcels of
land against which there are unpaid reassessments. These annual
installments are to be paid into the Redemption Fund for the
Assessment Bonds (95-1), which will be held by the Fiscal Agent,
and used to pay the principal of and interest on the Assessment
Bonds (95-1) as they become due. The installment billed against
each parcel of land each year represents a pro-rata share of the
total principal and interest coming due on all of the Assessment
Bonds (95-1) that year. The amount billed against each parcel of
land is based on the percentage which the unpaid reassessment
against the parcel bears to the total of unpaid reassessments in
the Reassessment District, plus an administrative charge of the
City. The failure of a property owner to pay an annual
reassessment installment will not result in an increase in
reassessment installments against other property in the
Reassessment District.
In the event of delinquencies of a certain amount respecting
any installment of an unpaid reassessment, and with respect to
all delinquencies in certain circumstances, as prescribed in the
Fiscal Agent.Agreement, the city has~ovenanted to institute
superior court foreclosure proceedings to enforce payment of such
delinquencies. See "Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure"
herein.
Additional Assess, meD$ Bonds ¢95-1)
The Assessment Bonds (95-1) are being issued pursuant to the
Fiscal Agent Agreement in a principal amount equal to the unpaid
reassessments for the Reassessment District. Pursuant to the
Act, no additional Assessment Bonds (95-1) can be issued upon the
security of the unpaid reassessments for the Reassessment
District.
~eserve Account
·
Under the Indenture, the Trustee is required on the Closing
Date to deposit in the Reserve Account from proceeds of sale of
the Series A Bonds an amount equal to the "Reserve Requirement",
which is defined in the Indenture to mean, as of the date of any
calculation, the lesser of (1) ten percent (10%) of the original
aggregate principal amount of the Series A Bonds or (2) the
maximum amount of principal of and interest on the Series A Bonds
coming due and payable in the current or any future Bond Year.
The moneys in the Reserve Account may be invested in any
"Permitted Investment", as said term is defined in the Indenture,
subject to the following:
(1) In the event that such Permitted Investments may be
redeemed at par so as to be available on each Interest Payment
Date, then any amount in the Reserve Account may be invested in
such redeemable Permitted Investments maturing on any date on or
prior to the final maturity date of the Series A Bonds.
(2) Otherwise, investment of Reserve Account moneys shall
be restricted to Permitted InveStments which mature no later than
the earlier of (a) five years from the date of investment or (b)
the final maturity date of the Series A Bonds.
Ail interest or gain from the investment of moneys in the
Reserve Account shall be retained therein, subject to the payment
of rebate respecting portions of such interest or gain.
So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, any amount in the Reserve Account in excess of the
then applicable Reserve Requirement on February 15 and Augus.t 15
of each year shall be withdrawn from the Reserve Account by the
Trustee and, subject to payment of rebate respecting portions of
such excess, deposited in the Interest Account.
Pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Fiscal Agent Agreement, the
City has covenanted, for the benefit of the Owners of the
Assessment Bonds (95-1), that, no later than October 1 each year,
it will cause to be commenced and thereafter diligently
prosecuted a superior court foreclosure action, pursuant to
Sections 8830 through 8835, inClusive, of the California Streets
and Highways Code, under the following circumstances:
(1) If there is a cumulative delinquency respecting
reassessment installments of $2,000 Or greater for a specific
parcel for one or more prior Fiscal Years, foreclosure shall be
commenced against each such parcel.
(2) If there is a cumulative delinquency respecting
reassessment installments of $1,000 or greater for a specific
parcel for one or more prior Fiscal Years, and if the'total
amount of delinquent reassessment installments for the prior
Fiscal Year attributable to all parcels in the Reassessment
District other than the parcels subject to foreclosure under (1)
above exceeds 5% of the total reassessment installments billed
for the prior Fiscal Year, then foreclosure shall be commenced
against each parcel having the cumulative delinquency of $1,000
or greater.
(3) Finally, if the total amount of delinquent reassessment
installments for the prior Fiscal Year attributable to all
parcels in the Reassessment District other than the parcels
subject to foreclosure under (1) and (2) above exceeds 3% of the
total reassessment installments billed for the prior Fiscal Year,
then foreclosure shall be commenced against every delinquent
parcel.
Even though foreclosure is commenced and diligently
prosecuted in accordance with the City's covenant of foreclosure,
neither the City nor the Authority can be assured that, in the
event such foreclosure progresses to the point of a foreclosure
sale, there will be any bidder for the subject parcel or parcels.
While the City presently believes that each of the parcels in the
Reassessment District has sufficient value to assure meaningful
bidding at such foreclosure sale, there is no assurance that such
present value will not decline in the future, and neither the
City nor the Authority is obligated to be a bidder at such
foreclosure sale. In the absence of any outside bidder, the
foreclosure sale may not produce money to the City in
satisfaction of its foreclosure judgment from which to pay the
principal of or the interest on the Assessment Bonds (95-1).
:~riority of Lie-
General
The unpaid reassessments and each installment thereof and
any interest and penalties thereon constitute a lien against each
of the respective parcels within the Reassessment District until
the same are paid. Such lien is subordinate to all special
assessment or reassessment liens~previously imposed upon the same
property, but has priority over ali Private liens and over all
special assessment or reassessment liens which may thereafter be
created against the same property. However, such lien will be on
a parity with the lien of any special taxes or other taxes
imposed, whether prior to the date hereof or in the future,
against parcels within the Reassessment District pursuant to the
Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, as amended (the
"Mello-Roos Act"), or other applicable legislation.
Community F&cilities District
The Tustin Unified School District has formed its community
Facilities District No. 88-1 ("CFD No. 88-1") pursuant to the
Mello-Roos Act, encompassing a major portion of the land within
the Reassessment District, to provide financing for school
facilities. Special tax' bonds (the "CFD Series A Bonds") have
been issued by CFD No. 88-1 upon the security of the special tax
lien established upon the parcels within CFD No. 88-1, and the
CFD is obligated to levy special taxes upon the parcels within
CFD No. 88-1 from year to year in amounts sufficient to pay the
principal of and the interest on the CFD Series A Bonds (together
with any additional CFD special tax bonds which may be issued
hereafter). The last maturity of the CFD Series A Bonds is in
2017, beyond the last maturity of the Series A Bonds.
The lien securing payment of the special taxes to be
levied from year to year upon the parcels within CFD No. 88-1
will be on a parity with the lien securing payment'of the
reassessments. See "REASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 95-1 - Direct and
Overlapping Debt" herein.
BOND INSURANCE
(to come, if applicable)
METHOD OF REASSESSMENT
The total amount of reassessments levied in the Reassessment
District was established to be equal to the principal amount of
the Assessment Bonds (95-1). Said amount of each reassessment
was calculated for each of the individual parcels of land within
the Reassessment District in proportion to the unpaid existing
assessment on each such parcel. The amount of each of the
reassessments levied, identified by reassessment number,, is shown
in the Reassessment Report for the Reassessment District, Which
report is on file in the office of the Public Works Director of
the City.
THE REASSESSMENT DISTRICT
General
The parcels of land comprising the Reassessment District are
the Prior Fixed Rate Parcels of the Prior Districts (see
"INTRODUCTION" herein). Those parcels of the Prior Districts
which continued to have a variable rate status are included in
Reassessment District No. 95-2. See "REFUNDING PLAN" herein.
Status of Public ]~mprov~_m_ent_-
The public improvements financed with the proceeds of the
Prior Bonds are substantially complete.
The only remaining public improvements necessary to enable
the remaining undeveloped property in the Reassessment District
to develop are in-tract improvements to certain specific parcels
which will be the responsibility of the developer of such
specific parcel or parcels. Examples of such in-tract
improvements are local streets; curb, gutters and sidewalk;
traffic control signage and striping; street lights; landscaping;
water distribution lines and appurtenances; sanitary sewer
laterals, collection lines and appurtenances; and underground
gas, electric, telephone and cable television facilities.
With the exception of school facilities to be developed.by
the Tustin Unified School District, no additional major
infrastructure such as arterial s~reets, parks, fire stations, or
libraries are reqUired or anticipated for the full development of
the remaining undeveloped property in the Reassessment District,
and construction of such school facilities is not a condition

remaining undeveloped property in the Reassessment District.
Looati0D and Terrain o~ the Reassessment Distriot
The City is located in central Orange County, about 40 miles
southeast of Los Angeles and 80 miles north of San Diego. The
City spans approximately 11.2 square miles and adjoins the cities
of Irvine, Orange and Santa Ana..
The.combined area of the Prior Districts, of which the
Reassessment District is a part (and consisting of the Prior
Fixed Rate Parcels from both of the Prior Districts), is
approximately 2',782 acres and is located along 'the east side of
the City, extending generally in a southwest-to-northeast band
approximately 3/4ths of a mile Wide, from the Santa Ana Freeway
(Interstate 5) (the "Freeway") to Santiago Canyon Road, a distance
of approximately 6 miles.
The terrain is relatively flat, extending gently uphill
toward the northeast, and transitioning to gently rolling hills
in the last mile.
Land Uses and Development Status
The following Table 1 illustrates the land use categories of
the reassessed parcels in the Reassessment District. As used in
Table 1, the ten "developed" means that at least one structure
has been. constructed on the parcel, which has been assigned
improvement assessed value by County. The developed portion of
the reassessed property represents approximately 85% of the total
number of reassessed parcels and approximately % of the unpaid
reassessments on the reassessed property.

De 1;J. nquency History
As of , 1995, there were a total of
parcels within the Reassessment District which were delinquent in
the payment of assessment installments for Fiscal Year 1994-95.
These delinquent 1994-95 assessment installments totaled $ ,
which represents % of the total 1994-95 assessment
installments levied. Of the 15 largest landowners (see Table 2
above), only the San Ramo and Lewis Homes parcels were
delinquent, and the San Ramo delinquency has been reinstated.
The following Table 4 illustrates the historical assessment
delinquency for parcels included in the Reassessment District.

SPECIAL RISK FACTORS
The following information should be considered by
prospective investors in evaluating the Series A Bonds. Howe%er,
it does not purport to be an exhaustive listing of the risks and
other considerations which may be relevant to an investment in
the Series A Bonds. In addition, the order in which the
following information is presented is not intended to reflect the
relative importance of any such risks. If any risk factor
materializes to a sufficient degree, it alone could delay or
preclude payment of princiPal of or interest on the Series A
Bonds or both.
The Series A Bonds are Limited Obligations of the &uthorit¥
Funds for the payment of the principal of and the interest
on the Series A Bonds are derived from annual reassessment
installments. While a modest coverage factor has been
established in structuring the annual reassessment amounts (see
"REASSESSMENT DISTRICT - Debt Service Coverage - TABLE 6"
herein), the amount of annual reassessment installments that are
collected by the City could be insufficient to pay principal of
and interest on the Series A Bonds due to non-payment of such
annual reassessment installments levied or due to insufficient
proceeds received from a judicial foreclosure sale of land within
the Reassessment District following delinquency. The City's
legal obligations with respect to any delinquent reassessment
installments which secure the Series A Bonds are limited to (1)
payments from the Reserve Fund to the extent of funds on deposit
therein, and (2) the institution of judicial foreclosure
proceedings with respect to any parcels for which the
reassessment installment is delinquent (see "SECURITY FOR THE
SERIES A BONDS - Covenant for Superior Court Foreclosure"
herein). The Series A Bonds cannot be accelerated in the event
of any default.
The Reassessments are Not Personal 0bliqations of ~e
ProDert¥ Owners
Under the provisions of the Act, reassessment installments
will be billed to the owner of each parcel in the Reassessment
District against which there is an unpaid reassessment, such
billing to be made on the regular property tax bills sent to such
owners. Such reassessment installments are due and payable at
the same time and bear the same late charges and penalties as for
non-payment of regular property tax installments.
The obligation to pay reassessment installments does not
constitute a personal obligation of the Current or subsequent
owners of the respective parcels which are subject to the
reassessment liens. Enforcement of the payment obligation by the
City is limited to judicial foreclosure in the Orange County
Superior Court pursuant to Sections 8830 and following of the
California Streets and Highways Code. There is no assurance that
any current or subsequent owner of a parcel subject to a
reassessment lien will be able to pay the reassessment
installments or that such owner will choose to pay such
installments even though financially able to do so.
The Assessment Bonds ¢95-1) are. Limited Oblications of the City
The obligation of the City, as issuer of the Assessment
Bonds (95-1), to advance the amount of delinquencies to the
Trustee, as the registered holder of the Assessment Bonds (95-1),
is strictly limited to funds on deposit in the Reserve Fund
established and held by the City pursuant to the Fiscal Agent
Agreement. Pursuant to Section 8769 of the California Streets
and HighwaYs Code, the City has expressly elected not to obligate
itself to advance available funds from the City's treasury to
make up deficiencies in the amount of reassessment installments
collected.
Sustained failure by property owners to pay reassessment
installments when due, combined with depletion of the Reserve
Fund and the inability of the City to sell parcels which have
become subject to judicial foreclosure proceedings for amounts
sufficient to cover the delinquent reassessment installments,
will most likely result in the inability of the City to make full
or punctual payments of interest on or principal of the
Assessment Bonds (95-1), which could result in a default on the
Series A Bonds.
Bankruptcy and Foreclosure Delays
The payment of reassessment installments and the ability of
the City to foreclose the lien of a delinquent reassessment is
normally delayed by and may be limited in other ways by
bankruptcy, insolvency, or other laws generally affecting
creditors' rights or by State law relating to judicial
foreclosure. In addition, the prosecution of a judicial
foreclosure may be delayed due to congested local court calendars
or procedural delays.
The various legal opinions to be delivered concurrently with
the delivery of the Series A Bonds (including Bond Counsel's
approving legal opinion) will be qualified as to the
enforceability of'the various legal instruments, including the
Series A Bonds, by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or
other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.
Although bankruptcy proceedings would not cause the
reassessments to become extinguished, bankruptcy of a property
owner could result in a delay in prosecuting'judicial foreclosure
proceedings and could result in delinquent reassessment
installments not being paid in full. Such a delay would increase
the likelihood of a delay or default in payment of the principal
of and interest on the Series A Bonds.
The ability of the City to foreclose the lien of a
delinquent reassessment may be limited in certain respects with
regard to parcels in which the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the "FDIC") or the Resolution Trust Company (the
"RTC") has an interest or hereafter obtains an interest. In 1991
and 1992, the RTC issued certain policy statements (the "Policy
Statements") (and later adopted by the FDIC) pursuant to which the
RTC, when liquidating assets in its corporate and receivership
capacities (but not when acting as a conservator) has taken the
position, in part, that real property owned by the RTC is subject
to state and local real property taxes if those taxes are
assessed according to the property's value, but that the RTC is
immune from real property taxes assessed on other bases.
The Policy Statements also provide that the RTC will pay its
proper tax obligations when they become due and will pay claims
for delinquencies as promptly as is consistent with sound
business practice and the orderly administration of the
institution,s affairs, unless abandonment of the RTC interest in
the property is appropriate. It further provides that the RTC
will pay claims for interest on delinquent property taxes owed at
the rate provided under state law. The RTC will not pay for any
amounts in the nature of fines or penalties and will not pay nor
recognize liens for such amounts.
The Policy Statements also provide that if any property
taxes (including interest) on RTC-owned property are secured by a
valid lien (in effect before the property became owned by the
RTC), the RTC will pay those claims. No property of the RTC is
subject to levy, attachment, garnishment, foreclosure or sale
without the RTC's consent. In addition, a lien for taxes and
interest may attach, but the RTC will not permit a lien or
security interest held by the RTC to be eliminated by foreclosure
without the RTC's consent.
The Policy Statements are unclear as to whether the RTC
considers the reassessments levied by the City to be "real
property taxes" which the RTC intends to pay. The Policy
Statements provide: "The [RTC] is only liable for state and
local taxes which are based on the value of the property during
the period for which the tax is imposed, notwithstanding'the
failure of any person, including prior record owners, to
challenge an assessment under the procedures available under
State law. In the exercise of its business judgment, the [RTC]
may challenge assessments which do not conform with the statutory
provisions, and during the challenge will generally pay tax
claims based on the assessment level deemed appropriate. The
[RTC] will generally limit challenges to the current and
immediately preceding taxable years and to the pursuit of
previously filed tax protests. However, the [RTC] may, in the
exercise of its business judgment, challenge any prior taxes and
assessments provided that (1) the [RTC's] records (including
appraisals, offers or bids received for the purchase of the
property, etc.) indicate that the assessed value is clearly
excessive, (2) a successful challenge will result in a
substantial savings to the [RTC], (3) the challenge will not
unduly delay the sale of the property, and (4) there is a
reasonable likelihood of a successful challenge."
The Authority and the City are unable to predict what
effect, if any, the application of~the Policy Statement will have
in the event of a delinquency in the payment of reassessments
relating to a parcel or to parcels within the Reassessment
District in Which either the RTC or the FDIC have an interest.
The Authority and the City are likewise unable to predict what
effect, if any, the application of the Policy Statements will.
have on the payment of the interest on and the principal of the
Series A Bonds. The Authority and the City are unable to
determine if the RTC or the FDIC has an interest in any parcel
within the Reassessment District.
_~xisteDce 9~ Undeveloped Property
Approximately % of the reassessments are secured by
liens on undeveloped property, and the average value-to-lien
ratio for such undeveloped property is ~:1 (see "THE
REASSESSMENT DISTRICT - Development Status - TABLE 1" herein).
The undeveloped property consists of subdivided lots which are
owned by developers or merchant builders who intend, to develop
the property for single family residential (see "THE REASSESSMENT
DISTRICT - Zoning Classifications for Undeveloped Property -
TABLE 3" herein). There may be subsequent transfers of ownership
of the undeveloped property prior to completion of development.
Failure of the owners of undeveloped property to pay the
reassessment installments when due could result in a default in
the payments of principal of and interest on the Reassessment
Bonds (95-1), which could result in the inability of the
Authority to make payments of the principal of and interest, on
the Series A Bonds.
price Realized Upon Foreclosure
Section 8832 of the California Streets and Highways Code
(the "Streets and Highways Code") prescribes the minimum price
(the "Minimum Price") at which property may be sold in a judicial
foreclosure resulting from delinquencies on reassessment
installments. The Minimum Price is the amount equal to the
delinquent installments of principal and interest of the
reassessment, together with all interest, penalties, costs, fees,
charges and other amounts more fully detailed in said Section
8832. However, Section 8836 of the Streets and Highways Code
provides that the court may authorize a sale a less than the
Minimum Price if the court makes certain determinations, based on
the evidence introduced at the required hearing, which evidence
must establish that no ultimate loss will result to the
Bondholders or that no other remedy is acceptable.and at least
75% of the Bondholders' consent.
The reassessment lien' upon property sold pursuant to this
procedure at a lesser price than the Minimum Price shall'be
reduced by the difference between the Minimum Price and the
3 4
actual sale price. In addition, the court shall permit
participation by the Authority, as owner of all of the·
Reassessment Bonds (95-1), in its consideration of the petition
as necessary to it determination. Reference should be made to
Section 8836 for the complete presentation of this provision.
If foreclosure proceedings do not result in full collection
of delinquent reassessments, it is possible that owners of the
Series A Bonds may not receive payment of principal of or
interest on the Series A Bonds.
Uncertainties of Future Develop~en%
The motivation of the present or future owners of the
undeveloped property in the Reassessment District may be
diminished in the event significant delays are experienced in
development efforts. However, further development of the lands
located in the Reassessment District may be affected by changes
in general economic conditions, fluctuations in the real estate
market, changes in the ownership of the land, and other factors.
In addition, any' proposed development is subject to existing and
future federal, state and local regulations. Approval may be
required from various public agencies in connection with the
'design, nature and extent of the required public improvements, or
such matters as land use and zoning. Failure to meet any such
future regulations or obtain any such approvals in a timely
manner could delay or adversely affect any proposed development
of the parcels of land in the ReasseSsment District.
The land within the Reassessment District is subject to a
number of contingencies which could slow or prevent future
development of the undeveloped land. Consequently, no assurance
can be given that such development will be partially or fully
completed, and in assessing the investment quality of the Series
A Bonds, prospective purchasers should evaluate the risks of
noncompletion, including but not limited to the following.
(1) First, undeveloped land is less valuable than such land
in a developed condition and provides less valuable security to
the-Series A Bondowners should it be necessary for the City to
foreclose due to the nonpayment of reassessment installments
which secure the Assessment Bonds (95-1).
(2) Second, if much of the land in the Reassessment
District remains undeveloped, the number of likely purchasers at
a foreclosure sale, in the event the City forecloses the lien of
delinquent unpaid reassessment installments, is likely to be
reduced.
(3) Third,-in addition to potentially reducing the ability
and willingness of the landowners to pay reassessment
installments, a slowdown of the economic development process in
the region could adversely affect land values and reduce the
proceeds received at a foreclosure sale in the event reassessment
installments are not paid when due.
There can be no assurance that land development operations
within the Reassessment District will not be adversely affected
by future governmental policies, including, but not limited to,
governmental policies to restrict or control development.
Any event that significantly impacts the ability to develop
land in the Reassessment District may cause the property values
on undeveloped property to decrease substantially from the
assessed values set forth herein and could affect the willingness
and ability of the owners of the undeveloped property to pay the
reassessment installments when due.
Direct an~ Overla~min~ X~eM~e~ness
The ability'or willingness of an owner of land within the
Reassessment District to pay reassessment installments could be
affected by the imposition of other taxes and assessments imposed
upon the land. In addition, other public agencies whose
boundaries overlap those of the Reassessment District could,
without the consent of the CitY or the Authority, and in certain
cases without the consent of the owners of the land within the
Reassessment Districts, impose additional taxes or assessment
liens on the property within the Reassessment District to finance
public improvements or services to be located or provided inside
of or outside of the Reassessment District. A statement of
direct and overlapping indebtedness on land within the
Reassessment District is included herein under the heading
"REASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 95-1 - Estimated Direct and
Overlapping Debt - TABLE 9".
Earthauakes
The Reassessment District, like all California communities,
may be subject to unpredictable seismic activity. The occurrence
of seismic activity in or around the Reassessment District could
result in substantial damage to properties in the Reassessment
District, which, 'in turn, could substantially reduce the value of
such properties and could affect the willingness or ability of
the property owners to pay their reassessment installments when
due.
Drouaht coDd~t~ons
·
California has recently experienced drought conditions,
although rainfall this year has terminated the drought conditions
.throughout the State. Water service within the Reassessment
District is provided by the Irvine Ranch Water District ("IRWD").
While IRWD currently anticipates being able to supply water for
existing and new development within its service area for the
foreseeable future, there can be no assurance that any renewal of
drought conditions will not adversely affect IRWD's ability to do
so. Such failure could adversely affect the financial condition
of the property owners and could slow or halt development
efforts, thereby adversely affecting the willingness or the
ability of the owners of undeveloped property to pay their
reassessment installments when due.
Lan~ ValUeS
The value of land within the Reassessment District is an
important factor in evaluating the investment quality of the
Series A Bonds. In the event that a property owner defaults in
the payment of a reassessment installment, the City's only remedy
is to judicially foreclose on that property. Prospective
purchasers of the Series A Bonds should not assume that the
property within the Reassessment District could be sold for the
assessed amount described herein at a foreclosure sale for
delinquent reassessment installments or for an amount adequate to
pay delinquent reassessment installments.
The property values set forth in the various tables herein
are the property values determined by the Orange County Assessor
for property tax purposes. These assessed value determinations
may be subject to an appeal by the property owner. Assessment
appeals are annually filed with the County Assessment Appeals
Board for a hearing and resolution. At the time of filing,
applicants are required to estimate an opinion of value. The
resolution of an appeal may result in a reduction to the
Assessor's original taxable value and a tax refund to the
applicant/property owner. Any reduction in assessed taxable
values of property within the Reassessment District would have an
adverse impact on the value-to-lien ratios discussed in the
tables herein.
The actual market value of the property is subject to future
events such as downturn in the economy, occurrences such as
earthquakes, droughts or floods or other events, all of which
could adversely impact the value of the land in the Reassessment
District which is the security for the Assessment Bonds (95-1)
which secure the Series A Bonds. As discussed herein, many
factors could adversely affect property values or prevent or
delay land development within the Reassessment District.
Hazardous ~ubsta~ces
The market value of the property in the Reassessment
District is subject to'diminution upon the future release or
discovery thereon of a hazardous substance. In general, the
owners and operators of a parcel may be required by law to remedy
conditions relating to releases or threatened releases of
hazardous substances. The federal Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, sometimes
referred to as "CERCLA" or "Superfund Act" is the most well know
and widely applicable of these laws, but California laws with
regard to hazardous substances are also stringent and similar.
Under many of these laws, the owner (or operator) is obligated to
remedy a hazardous substance condition of property whether or not
the owner (or operator) had anything to do with creating or
handling the hazardous substance. The effect therefore, should
any of the parcels be affected by a hazardous substance, is to
reduce the marketability and value by the costs of remedying the
condition, because the purchaser, upon becoming owner, will
become obligated to remedy the condition just as is the seller.
·
The value of the property within the Reassessment District,
as set forth in the various tables herein, does not reflect the
presence of any hazardous substance or the possible liability of
the owner (or operator) for the remedy of a hazardous substance
condition of the property. Neither the Authority nor the city
has independently verified, and neither is aware, that the owner
(or operator) of any of the parcels within the Reassessment
District have such a current liability with respect to any such
parcel. However, it is possible that such liabilities do
currently exist and that neither the Authority nor the City is
aware of. them.
Further, it is possible that liabilities may arise in the
future with respect to any of the land within the Reassessment
District resulting from the existence, currently, of a substance
presently classified as hazardous but which has not been released
or the release of which is not presently threatened, or may arise
in the future resulting from the existence, currently, on the
parcel of a substance not presently classified .as hazardous but
which may in the future be so classified. Further, such
liabilities may arise not simply from the existence of a
hazardous substance but from the method of handling it. All of
these possibilities could significantly adversely affect the
value of a parcel and the willingness or ability of the owner of
any parcel to pay the reassessment installments when due.
Endangered and Threatened ~pecies
There is no known presence of any endangered or threatened
species of animal or plant life within the area of the
Reassessment District. Future discovery of any endangered or
threatened species could delay or halt further development of the
undeveloped property in the Reassessment District.
,,,,Cumulative Burden of Parity Taxes, Special Assessments an~
.Development Costs
The reassessments and the annual installments thereon
constitute a lien against the parcels of land on which the
reassessments have been levied. Such lien is on a parity with
all special taxes levied by other agencies and is co-equal to and
independent of the lien for general property taxes, regardless of
when they are imposed upon the same property.
Development of the undeveloped land within the Reassessment
District is contingent upon construction and installation of
public improvements within the respective parcels of land,
including local streets, water distribution facilities, sewage
collection laterals and lines, drainage facilities, gas,
telephone, electrical and cable television facilities, as well as
on-site grading and related improvements. The cost of these
additional improvements could increase the public and private
debt for which the undeveloped land within the Reassessment°
District is security. This increased debt could reduce the
ability or willingness of the owners of the undeveloped property
to pay the reassessment installments when due.
Neither the City nor the Authority has control over the
ability of other entities to issue indebtedness secured by
special taxes or assessments payable from all or a portion of the
property within the Reassessment District. In addition, the
owners of property within the Reassessment District may, without
the consent or knowledge of the City or the Authority, petition
other public agencies to issue public indebtedness secured by
special taxes or assessments. Any such special taxes may have a
lien on such property on a parity with the lien of the
reassessments.
Loss of Tax Exemption
As discussed under the caption "CONCLUDING INFORMATION - Tax
Exemption" herein, the interest on the Series A Bonds could
become includable in gross income for federal income tax
purposes, retroactive to the-date of issuance of the Series A
Bonds, as a result of failure of the Authority or the City to
comply with certain provisions of the Code. Should such an event
of taxability occur, the Series A'Bonds are not subject to early
redemption and will remain outstanding to maturity or until
redeemed under the optional redemption or mandatory sinking fund
redemption provisions of the Indenture.
Orange County Bankruptcy
Background of Bankruptcy
on December 6, 1994, the County and the Orange County
Investment Pools (collectively, the "Pool") filed for protection
under Chapter 9 of the United States Bankruptcy Code following
losses which were eventually realized at approximately $1.7
billion in the market value of the Pool's investment portfolio.
County funds and funds of more than 200 non-County governmental
· agencies within the State were invested in the Pool.
As of November 30, 1994, the Pool had assets of
approximately $20.6 billion, of which $13 billion was borrowed
through repurchase contracts and reverse repurchase contracts.
The remaining $7.6 billion included $2.7 billion deposited by the
County and $4.9 billion deposited by local agencies other than
the County.
Although non-County Pool investors ("Pool Participants")
were entitled to withdraw monies on relatively short notice, the
Pool. was invested in securities with an average duration of four
(4) years in order to enhance returns. To further enhance yield,
some Pool monies were also invested in a variety of structured
instruments, such as inverse floaters and step-up callable notes,
which were highly sensitive to changes in market interest rates.
Repurchase and reverse repurchase~agr~eements were also used t°
obtain loans from broker/dealers to further enhance returns by
leveraging. Such borrowing exposed the County to cash collateral
calls in the event of losses in the market value of the
collateral. These long dated and structured securities, together
with leverage, caused the Pool's portfolio to generate high rates
of return while the interest rate yield curve was steep from late
1991 through 1993. However, these same factors limited the
Pool's liquidity and resulted in substantial losses of market
value when market interest rates incureased and the yield curve
flattened through most of 1994.
Shortly after the cases were filed, an Official Investment
Pool Participants' Committee (the "Pool Participants' Committee")
was formed, comprised of representative Pool depositors, to
facilitate negotiation and settlement of various issues with the
County. Several other official and unofficial committees and
subcommittees have been formed in each Chapter 9 cases, all with
the same overall purpose. The Bankruptcy Code provides for the
creation of official creditors' committees to represent their
constituents before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, to investigate the
debtor's conduct and to advise the debtor in connection with
formulation of a plan of adjustment.
Following the $1.7 billion losses in the Pool's investment
portfolio and the resulting bankruptcy filings, distributions
from the Pool were stayed, and various Pool Participants asserted
a variety of tort claims against the County, including breach of
fiduciary duty, fraud and .negligence, and asserted trust claims
seeking the full amount of the funds they had placed in the
County treasury. After extensive negotiations between the County
and the Pool Participants Committee, the County and the Pool
Participants entered into the Comprehensive Settlement Agreement
Re the Orange County Investment Pools ("the Settlement
Agreement"). See "The Settlement Agreement" below.
In 1994, the City had approximately $4 million of principal
on deposit with the Pool which it withdrew. There were certain
interest earnings on the City's investment that could be
withdrawn only after giving written notice to the County. These
earnings were not withdrawn before the bankruptcy filing. The
interest earnings of the City currently on deposit in the Pool
amount to approximately $8,000.00.
The Settlement Aqreement
On April 5, 1995, the County'filed with the Bankruptcy Court
the Settlement Agreement. The effectiveness of the Settlement
Agreement was contingent upon acceptance of the Settlement
Agreement within approximately three (3) weeks by at least 80% of
the Pool Participants holding at least 90% in aggregate amount of
the non-County investment balances in the Pool. The requisite
number of Pool Participants accepted the Settlement Agreement,
and on May 2, 1995, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order
approving the Settlement Agreement and authorizing the county to
perform its respective obligations under the Settlement
Agreement.
The Settlement Agreement generally provides for distributing
to Pool Participants a portion of their December 6, 1994,
investment balances in the Pool which portion constitutes
approximately 77% of the Pool Participants' aggregate December 6,
1994, investment balances. This amount was distributed to Pool
Participants on May 19, 1995. Moreover, the Settlement Agreement
enables Pool Participants to select one or two options for the
treatment of the deficiency between that distribution and their
investment balances. Under "Option B", which was selected by
less than 10% of the Pool Participants, Pool Participants
generally reserve their rights to litigate against the County to
recover their deficiency Under "Option A" which was selected
· ,
by more than 90% of the Pool Participants, including the City
(the "Option A Pool Participants"), Option A Pool Participants
release any and all Pool-related claims they may have against the
County and assign to the County any and all Pool-related claims
they may have against third parties, and receive in exchange the
following three types of consideration, intended to enable the
Option A Pool Participants eventually to receive approximately
100% of their investment balances.
The first component of consideration consists of
approximately $236 million in "Recovery Notes" to be distributed
to Option A Pool Participants in amounts such that (a) each
Option A Pool participant that is a school district or school-
related entity (the "School Pool Participants") will receive
approximately $.13 for each $1.00 invested in the Pool and
(b) the other Option A Pool Participants will receive
approximately $.03 for each $1.00 invested in the Pool. The
Recovery Notes constitute administrative claims under Section
364(c) (1) of the Bankruptcy Code, with priority over all other
administrative expenses and unsecured claims against the County,
subject to certain carve-out expenses for professional and legal
fees incurred by the County in the bankruptcy proceedings. Under
the Settlement Agreement, the County is required to use its "best
efforts" to monetize the Recovery Notes, and did so by selling
bonds on June 16, 1995.
The second component of consideration consists of
approximately $343 million of "Settlement Secured Claims"
allocated to the Option A Pool Participants that are not School
Pool Participants in an amount that provides them the
approximately 90% level of recovery provided to School Pool
Participants through the Recovery Notes. The Settlement Secured
Claims are allowed general claims in the County's bankruptcy case
that are secured by a first priority security interest in a
ratable share of 65% of.the net proceeds the County receives from
the assertion of certain Pool-related claims against third
parties.
The County has filed lawsuits ~gainst Merrill Lynch & Co.,
Inc. and its affiliates (the "Merrill Lynch Lawsuit") and may
proceed against other entities in ~.f~orts to recover some or all
of the Pool's investment losses. The outcome of these lawsuits
'is not certain, but any recovery received by the county would be
subject to distribution as stated above.
The third and final component of consideration consists of
approximatelY $514 million of "Repayment Claims" that represent
the final approximately $.10 increment of the deficiency claims
asserted by Option A Pool Participants. The Repayment Claims are
allowed general unsecured claims in the County's bankruptcy case
on account of which the holder is not entitled to receive any
payment from the County or out of any assets of the County,
whether under a plan of adjustment or otherwise, until the
payment in full of all "Senior Claims" against the County and the
payment of postpetition interest therein, "Senior Claims"
include, among other indebtedness, short-term debt for borrowed
money, some trade debt incurred prior to the commencement of the
County's bankruptcy case, and certain other indebtedness of the
County.
On May 23, 1995, the Bankruptcy court determined that the
Pool was not eligible for bankruptcy relief because it is not a
"municipality" specifically authorized by State law to file for
bankruptcy protection and that the Pool's bankruptcy case would
be dismissed. All orders made in the Pool's case, including the
order approving the Settlement Agreement, will be preserved or
otherwise protected by transfer to the County's bankruptcy case.
The final eight orders were scheduled for court hearing to
approve transfer on July 27, 1995.
One-Half Cent Sales Tax Increase Ballot Proposal
The County submitted to the voters for election on June 27,
1995, a proposal to increase the County-wide sales tax by one-
half cent for up to ten years ("Measure R"). The election was
held and Measure R did not pass.
Consensus County Recovery Plan
.The County submitted to the State Legislature a Consensus
County Recovery Plan which provided for the transfer of revenues
between certain public agencies in Orange County, the purpose of
which was to enable the County, over time, to obtain revenues
sufficient to satisfy its obligations under the Settlement
Agreement. Both Houses of the State Legislature adopted Assembly
Bill 1664, Senate Bill 863, and Senate Bill 1276, the purpose of
which was to amend or provide authority under State law to
effectuate the Consensus County Recovery Plan. These Bills were
signed by the Governor on October 9, 1995, along with Senate Bill
727 which pertains to Los Angeles County.
Assembly Bill 1664 authorizes the County to enter into an
agreement to finance the lease or lease purchase of County
property through the issuance of certificates of participation or
lease revenue bonds. Such certificates of participation or lease
revenue bonds shall be paid from monies credited to the Motor
Vehicle License Fee Account in the Transportation Tax Fund to
which the Orange County Transportation Authority ("OCTA") is
currently entitled. This Fund would then be reduced by the
amount of the payments on the certificates of participation or
lease revenue bonds to which the County would otherwise be
entitled. The monies of the County in the Motor Vehicle License
Fee Account in the Transportation Fund are pledged to all
certificates of participation or lease revenue bonds issued by
the County in 1996 or 1997, including any obligations issued
before 2010 to refund such certificates of participation or lease
revenue bonds having a maturity of 20 years or more.
In addition, the county may also elect to provide funds to
pay such certificates of participation or lease revenue bonds
from monies which would otherwise be transmitted by the County
pursuant to Section 7204 of the Revenue and Taxation Code (sales
and use taxes imposed by the County in excess of 1%). The funds
transferred from the Transportation Tax Fund and sales and use
taxes to pay for the certificates of participation or lease
revenue bonds are authorized to be transferred for a period of 15
years commencing in 1996. The legislation also limits the amount
of such taxes which may be transferred during the 15-year period
to $38 million per year. The County is required to use these
funds to provide satisfaction in full or other consensual
treatment of the outstanding and allowed claims of County
vendors, employees and holders of outstanding debt of the County
and the expenses of administration of the County's bankruptcy
case and to perform the County's obligations pursuant to a
confirmed plan of adjustment.
Senate Bill 863 provides that the Orange County Development
Agency shall transfer to the general fund of the County $4
million per year. In addition, the Orange County Flood Control
District and Harbors, Beaches and Parks District is to transfer
$4 million per year to the County. The County is required to
utilize these funds for the purpose of providing satisfaction in
full, or other consensual treatment of the outstanding and
allowed claims of County vendors, employees and holders of County
debt. These funds may also be utilized to pay expenses of
administration in the County's bankruptcy case and of the
County's obligations pursuant to confirmed plan of adjustment.
Senate Bill 1276 provides that it is in'the interest of the
State of California and all public debt issuers in the State of
California to enable the County of Orange to finance an
acceptable plan of adjustment in order to improve the credit
standing of all California public debt issuers and to protect the
health, safety and welfare of the residents of the County and the
State. This Bill also provides a backup plan in the event that
the County does not file a plan of adjustment with the Bankruptcy
Court by January 1, 1996, the Governor may appoint an individual
to serve as a trustee of the County. The appointment may occur
at any time after January 1, '1996, until confirmation of the
plan. Moreover, if the Governor determines that as of May 1,
1996, or any date thereafter,~.the Parties in the Orange County
bankruptcy case have failed to reach substantial agreement on the
terms of a plan of adjustment and the timely confirmation of the
Plan appears unlikely, the Governor shall appoint a trustee.
This legislation also provides for the duties of the trustee with~
regards to the Orange County bankruptcy case.
This Bill also provides that $23 million per year that would
be allocated to the County for motor vehicle fuel taxes shall be
transferred instead to OCTA. This transfer shall end in June,
2013.
It is anticipated that the County will file a plan of
adjustment with the Bankruptcy Court before January 1, 1996.
City cannot currently predict when the County will be able to
emerge from the Chapter 9 bankruptcy.
The
The Authority was not a Pool Participant, and the City, with
only $8,000.00 remaining in the Pool, does not expect any
material adverse consequences from the losses to the Pool.
However, water, sanitary sewer, and fire protection services
are provided to property within the Reassessment District by
entities which are either governed by the County or are Pool
Participants. Furthermore, school facilities and K through 12
public educational programs and services are provided within the
Reassessment District by the Tustin Unified School District (the
"School District"), which is a Pool Participant.
Neither the City nor the Authority can predict the severity
of the adverse consequences to either the water, sanitary sewer
and fire protection service providers or the School District as a
result of the investment losses experienced by the Pool, and
neither the City nor the Authority can predict either (1) the
degree or duration of any possible curtailment of services
normally provided to the property and inhabitants of the
Reassessment District by the respective service providers and-the
School District or (2) the need for either the serviCe providers
or the School District to increase fees or taxes to pay for such
services. However, it is possible that such services will be
curtailed to a degree or for a period of time or that fees or
taxes will be increased to an extent that such curtailment or
increases or both may lead to delays in further development of
the undeveloped property in the Reassessment District or to
decreases in property values or both. Either such delays or such
decreases in property values could reduce the willingness or the
ability of the property owners in the Reassessment District to
pay reassessment installments when due, which could lead to
default in the payment~of the principal of or the interest on the
Series A'Bonds.
~elays Sn ~em~ttances
As a consequence of the Orange County bankruptcy, 'the City
has experienced temporary delays in the remittance by the County
of certain amounts collected for the City on the County's
property tax bills, including installments of assessments related
to the Prior Fixed Rate Parcels. However, as of ,
1995, all amounts related to property tax bill collections on
behalf of the City have been remitted to the City in full, and
the March 2, 1995, interest payments to holders of the Prior
Fixed Rate Bonds were made on time.
The City presently expects that future remittances of such
amounts will be made to the City on a timely baSis and in
accordance with established procedures for such remittances.
THE AUTHORITY
The Authority is a joint powers authority, organized
pursuant to a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, dated as of
April 3, 1995, between the City and the Tustin Community
Redevelopment Agency (the "Agreement"). The Agreement was
entered into pursuant to Sections 6500 and following of the
California Government Code. The Authority is a separate entity,
constituting a public instrumentality of the State of California
and. was formed for the public purpose of assisting in financing
and refinancing projects pursuant to the Bond Law for the benefit
of the City.
The Authority is governed by a Commission, which is
comprised of five members. The members of the City Council of
the City constitute the members of the Commission of the
Authority. The Authority is specifically granted all of the
powers specified in the Bond Law, including but not limited to
the power to issue bonds and to sell such bonds to public or
private purchasers at public or by negotiated sale. The
Authority is entitled to exercise the powers common to its
members and necessary to accomplish the purposes for which it was
formed. These powers include the power to make and enter into
contracts; to employ agents and employees; to acquire, construct,
manage, maintain and operate buildings, works or improvements; to
acquire, hold or dispose of property within the City; and to
incur debts, liabilities or obligations.

purchase price of $ . Simultaneously with the
purchase of the Series A Bonds by the Underwriter, the Authority
has agreed to purchase the Assessment Bonds (95-1) from the City.
The Underwriter's obligation to purchase the Series A Bonds is
contingent upon the Authority's purchase of the Assessment Bonds
(95-1), the approval of certain legal matters by counsel and
certain other conditions. The Underwriter is obligated to
purchase all of the Series A Bonds if any are purchased.
The Underwriter may offer and sell the Series A Bonds to
certain dealers and others at prices lower than the public
offering prices set forth on the cover page hereof. The offering
prices of the Series A Bonds may'be changed from time to time by
the Underwriter.
Legal opinion
The legal opinions of Jones Hall Hill & White, A
Professional Law Corporation, Bond Counsel, approving the
validity of the Series A Bonds and the Assessment Bonds (95-1),
in substantially the forms set forth as Appendix [ ] hereto, will

A Bonds will be provided with each definitive bond. Certain
legal matters will be passed upon for the Underwriters by Orrick,
Herrington & Sutcliffe and for the Authority and the City by the
City Attorney.
Tax Matters
In the opinion of Jones Hall Hill & White, A Pr6fessional
Law Corporation, San Francisco, California, Bond Counsel,
subject, however to the qualifications set forth below, under
existing law, the interest on the Series A Bonds is excluded from
gross income for federal income tax purposes and such interest is
not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal
alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations,
provided, however, that, for the purpose of computing the
alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations (as defined for
federal income tax purposes), such interest is taken into account
in determining certain income and earnings.
The opinions set forth, in the preceding paragraph are
subject to the condition that the Authority comply with al1
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code")
that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Series A
Bonds in order that such interest be, or continue to be, excluded
from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The Authority
has covenanted to comply with each such requirement. Failure to
comply with certain of such requirements may cause the inclusion
of such interest-in gross income for federal income tax purposes
to be retroactive to the date of issuance of the Series A Bonds.
In the.further opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on the
Series A Bonds is exempt from California personal income taxes.
Owners of the Series A Bonds should also be aware that the
ownership or disposition of, or the accrual or receipt of
interest on, the Series A Bonds may have federal or state tax
consequences other than as described above. Bond Counsel
expresses no opinion regarding any federal or state tax
consequences arising with respect to the Series A Bonds other
than as expressly described above.
No Litiqation
There is no proceeding or litigation of any nature now
pending to restrain or enjoin the issuance, sale, execution or
delivery of the Series A Bonds, or in any way contesting or
affecting the validity of the Series A Bonds, the proceedings of
the Authority taken with respect to the issuance or sale thereof,
the proceedings of the City relating to the issuance and sale to
the Authority of the Assessment Bonds (95-1), the pledge or
application of any moneys or securities provided for the payment
of the Series A Bonds, the existence or powers of the Authority
or the title of any Commissioners or officers of the Authority to
their respective positions. A certificate of the Authority to
this effect will be delivered on the date of delivery of the
Series A Bonds.
