5 General Obligation Bonds u Common in California since the early 20 th Century In 1978, Proposition 13 superseded authority In 1986, restored at 2/3 voter approval level In 2000, 55% voter approval measures allowed with additional accountability requirements Maximum projected tax levy and specified citizens oversight u Full Faith and Credit Bond - Unlimited taxing authority u Ad Valorem taxation u Bonding capacity limited to 1.25% of AV for union districts (2.50% of AV for unified districts) u County is responsible for ongoing administration u No political discretion General Shafter School District - Page 5

6 A Bond is a Loan Bond Proceeds Bond Investors Facilities Improvements Bond Repayment Community Benefit u A bond is a loan. Just like a home mortgage, a general obligation bond allows the taxpayers to buy and receive the benefit of the facilities now, and pay for them over time. General Shafter School District - Page 6

13 Public Information and Input u The District is allowed to engage in sharing information with the public, and should do so Public information, not campaigning Bond counsel will provide guidance u Some items to think about: Does the public know about the condition of the facilities? Does the public know about the District and how finances are managed? Does the public know how good schools improve property values? Does the public know about the potential for future development? What do we know about voters (as compared to our traditional constituency of parents, staff and students)? General Shafter School District - Page 13

Annual California AV inflation factor provided by California State Board of Equalization, and is the lesser of the annual change in the CA CPI or 2%. General Shafter School District - Page 20

21 Reasons Assessed Value Can Change (for most properties) u Pursuant to Proposition 13 (and embodied in Article 13A of the California Constitution), a school district s property tax base can change for four reasons: Properties are sold (and reassessed at the sale price). Properties are improved (and reassessed with the value of the improvement). A year passes (each property s assessed value increases by the lesser of 2% or the change in the California Consumer Price Index). Market value of one or more properties declines below assessed value - assessed value can be adjusted downward to the market value. If market value subsequently increases, assessed value can catch up to pre-decline AV plus allowable adjustments (e.g. 2% annual increase). General Shafter School District - Page 21

22 Grapevine Development Would Increase AV u Up to 12,000 new homes and 10.7 million square feet of commercial development u New homes = improvement to property = reassessment with value of improvement u Two pro forma bond financial plan scenarios: Baseline without Grapevine Development With Grapevine Development General Shafter School District - Page 22

Grapevine development is assumed to occur at constant rate over 30 years and assumes a 3% annual construction inflation rate; thereafter, Grapevine Development property is assumed to increase at 2% annually. A $30 annual tax levy per $100,000 of AV is assumed. General Shafter School District - Page 23

25 Net Local Secured AV Assumed to Increase Assessed Value $3,000,000,000 Different AV Assumptions Based on the AV Types Lead to Moderate Long-Term AV Growth Assumptions $2,500,000,000 $2,000,000,000 Total AV - Actual Net Local Secured - Actual Mineral - Actual Unsecured - Actual Other - Actual Total AV - Assumed Net Local Secured - Assumed Mineral - Assumed Unsecured - Assumed Other - Assumed $1,500,000,000 $1,000,000,000 $500,000,000 Net local secured AV is assumed to grow 4% for , & 5% annually thereafter, while all other types of AV are assumed to remain unchanged $ Fiscal Year Beginning July 1 Historic assessed value (AV) provided by the Kern County Auditor-Controller's Office; AV is preliminary The District s total AV is comprised of net local secured, net unsecured, mineral (oil), and other (utility & homeowners exemption). As homeowners exemption & unsecured components are relatively small and tend to be subject to less predictable volatility, the AV focuses on net local secured. Mineral valuation is based on the lesser of two calculation methodologies, one taking proven reserves at market values less expenses, the other is based off base year values. With depletion rates varying by oil field and unknowable future oil prices making AV projections for mineral values nearly impossible to project over the term of a general obligation bond, mineral values are assumed to remain unchanged.

Net local secured AV is assumed to increase 4% for , & 5% annually thereafter, while all other AV types are assumed to remain unchanged. Net collection assumes County reserve policy (first 10 months of following FY debt service) less assumed revenue. Assumed revenue based on historical data for other Kern Co. districts: unitary revenue = 3% of debt service + reserve collection, other revenue = 1.0% of debt service + reserve collection, & additional receipts = 5% of debt service + reserve - prior reserve. Reserve collected by County applied to last payment. General Shafter School District - Page 26

36 Additional Considerations u Put bond measure on 2016 ballot, based on current conditions Current tax base not sufficient to take care of existing needs u Can put a larger authorization amount on ballot so that we can issue more bonds with future growth in AV u There is no guarantee that the amount of bonds we can issue, given AV and tax rate constraints, will be sufficient to support future needs General Shafter School District - Page 36
