PROCEEDS OF TAX-EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS AND APPROVING AN ACQUISITION
AND FEE FUNDING AGREEMENT FOR BOND-FUNDED FACILITIES WITH THE
CALIFORNIA STATEWIDE COMMUNITIES DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AND
SOMO VILLAGE LLC
WHEREAS, on December 13, 2022 by Resolution No. 2022-123, the City Council of
the City of Rohnert Park (City) authorized the California Statewide Communities Development
Authority (Authority) to form a Community Facilities District (CFD) within the territorial limits
of the City; and
WHEREAS, the Authority has formed a CFD for the purposes of issuing tax-exempt
obligations (Debt) and funding the construction of infrastructure within the City's SOMO
Village Planned Development Area; and
WHEREAS, the City expects that it or SOMO Village LLC ("Developer) will incur
capital expenditures (the "Reimbursement Expenditures") in connection with the construction of
the public infrastructure projects more particularly identified in Exhibit A hereto (the "Projects")
prior to the issuance of the Debt to finance such Projects; and
WHEREAS, the City reasonably expects that the Debt will be issued by CSCDA and
that certain of the proceeds of such Debt will be used to reimburse the Reimbursement
Expenditures; and
WHEREAS, Section 1.150-2 of the Treasury Regulations (the "Treasury Regulations")
requires the City to declare its reasonable official intent to reimburse prior expenditures for the
Projects with proceeds of a subsequent borrowing; and
WHEREAS, City anticipates that some or all of the Projects will be constructed by
others and acquired by the City using the proceeds of the Debt; and
WHEREAS, a form of Acquisition and Fee Funding Agreement (the "Acquisition
Agreement") between the City, the Authority and the Developer, which will govern the

and is on file with the City Clerk; and
WHEREAS, adoption of this resolution is not a"project" under California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") Guidelines section 15378, as the Acquisition Agreement

physical change to the environment. Further, nothing herein constitutes the City's approval of
any applications, development project entitlements and/or permits, and such, to the extent
required in the future, are subject to and contingent upon City Council approval following, to
the extent applicable, environmental review in compliance with the CEQA; and
WHEREAS, nothing herein affects, without limitation, requirements for and/or
compliance with any and all applicable and/or necessary improvement standards, land use
requirements or subdivision requirements relating to the Development Project or any portion
thereof, which obligations are and shall remain independent and subsisting.

Section 1. Recitals. That the foregoing recitals are true and correct.
Section 2. Purpose of Resolution. That this resolution is adopted for purposes of
establishing compliance with the requirements of Section 1.150-2 of the Treasury Regulations.

the Projects.
Section 3. Declaration of City. That the City hereby declares its official intent to
reimburse itself with proceeds of indebtedness for any of the Reimbursement Expenditures
incurred by it prior to incurring such Debt.

Agreement included as Exhibit A to this Resolution is approved subject to minor modifications

4.4. Effective Date. The Effective Date of this Agreement shall be as set forth
in the preamble above.
5. Community Facilities District.
5.1. Establishment of Community Facilities District. Developer has requested
the City to permit the Authority to provide for financing of the Acquisition Improvements
through the establishment and authorization of the Community Facilities District and the City

reasonably cooperate with one another in the completion of the financing through the issuance of
the Bonds in one or more series in any Improvement Area.
5.2. Deposit and Use of Available Amount.
5.2.1 Prior to the issuance of the first series of Bonds for any
Improvement Area, Special Taxes collected by the Authority for that Improvement Area
(including from prepayments of Special Taxes) shall be deposited in an Acquisition and
Construction Fund established by the Authority for that Improvement Area, and may be

held in accordance with the Authority Trust Agreement.
5.2.2 Upon the issuance of the first series of Bonds for an Improvement

Improvement Area for the Acquisition Improvements. Separate accounts may be established for

remain in such Acquisition and Construction Fund for use as provided herein and pursuant to the
Authority Trust Agreement. Money in each and every Acquisition and Construction Fund shall

7
4141-5871-9282.6
Developer or its designee to pay the Acquisition Price of the Acquisition Improvements to the
extent the Acquisition Price has not previously been paid from Available Amounts. Upon
completion of all of the Acquisition Improvements and the payment of all costs thereof, any
remaining funds in all Acquisition and Construction Funds (less any amount determined by the
City as necessary to reserve for claims against the account) (i) shall be applied to pay the costs of
any additional Acquisition Improvements eligible for acquisition or development impact fees
eligible to be paid with respect to the Project as approved by the Authority and, to the extent not
so used, (ii) shall be applied by the Authority to call Bonds or to reduce Special Taxes as the
Authority shall determine.
5.3. Letting and Administering Design Contracts. The Developer has awarded
and administered, or will award and administer, engineering design contracts for the Acquisition
Improvements. All eligible expenditures for design engineering and related costs in connection
with the Acquisition Improvements shall be reimbursed at the time of acquisition of the
Acquisition Improvements. The Developer shall be entitled to reimbursement for any design
costs of the Acquisition Improvements only out of the Acquisition Price as provided in Section
5.6 and shall not be entitled to any payment for design costs independent of the acquisition of
Acquisition Improvements.
5.4. Letting and Administering Construction Contracts; Prevailing Wages.
State law requires that all Acquisition Improvements not completed prior to the formation of the
Community Facilities District shall be constructed as if they were constructed under the direction
and supervision, or under the authority, of the City. In order to assure compliance with those
provisions, except for any contracts entered into prior to the Effective Date, Developer agrees to
comply with the requirements set forth in Agreement Exhibit D, with respect to the bidding and
contracting for the construction of the Acquisition Improvements being constructed by the
Developer. The construction of the Acquisition Improvements constitutes a “public work” as
defined in the California Labor Code, section 1771, et seq (“Labor Code Regulations”).
Developer agrees and acknowledges that the construction of the Acquisition Improvements is
subject to the payment of prevailing wages and agrees to comply with the requirements of the
Labor Code Regulations. Further, Developer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold City, its
elected officials, officers, employees, and agents free and harmless from any and all claims,
damages, suits or actions arising out of or incident to Developer’s obligations under this section.
Developer agrees to satisfy, to the extent applicable, its obligation of registering with the
Department of Industrial Relations and furnishing electronic certified payroll records to the
Labor Commissioner pursuant to Senate Bill 854 (2014). The Developer’s indemnification
obligation set forth in Section 6.1 of this Agreement shall also apply to any alleged failure to
comply with the requirements of this Section, and/or applicable State laws regarding public
contracting and prevailing wages.
5.5. Estimated Cost of Acquisition Improvements. The estimated cost of the
Acquisition Improvements is shown in Agreement Exhibit B attached hereto. Notwithstanding
this estimate, Developer and the City hereby acknowledge and agree that (a) the actual costs to
complete the Acquisition Improvements may vary from this estimate, (b) the Acquisition Price
shall never exceed the Actual Cost of any Acquisition Improvement.
8
4141-5871-9282.6
5.6. Sale of Acquisition Improvements. The Developer agrees to sell to the
City each Acquisition Improvement to be constructed by Developer (including any rights-of-way
or other easements necessary for the Acquisition Improvements, to the extent not already
publicly owned), when the Acquisition Improvement is completed to the satisfaction of the City
for an amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) the Available Amount available from time to time or
(ii) the Actual Cost of the Acquisition Improvement. Agreement Exhibit B, attached hereto and
incorporated herein, contains a list of the Acquisition Improvements. Portions of an Acquisition
Improvement eligible for Installment Payments prior to completion of the entire Acquisition
Improvement (each, an “Eligible Portion”) must be discrete and usable portions. Upon request
by Developer, the City may determine, on a case-by-case basis pursuant to Section 5.8, whether
a portion of any Acquisition Improvement is an Eligible Portion. At the time of completion of
each Acquisition Improvement, or Eligible Portion thereof, the Developer shall deliver to the
City Engineer a written request for acquisition, accompanied by an Actual Cost Certificate, and
by executed Title Documents for the transfer of the Acquisition Improvement where necessary.
The City Engineer shall review the supporting paperwork and respond to the Developer within
thirty days. The failure to respond within such time frame shall be deemed approval of the
Actual Cost. In the event that the City Engineer, during such time period, reasonably finds that
the supporting paperwork submitted by the Developer fails to demonstrate the required
relationship between the subject Actual Cost and eligible work, the City Engineer shall advise
the Developer that the determination of the Actual Cost (or the ineligible portion thereof) has
been disallowed and shall request further documentation from the Developer. Once the
Developer delivers the further documentation, the City Engineer shall have thirty days to review
the additional documentation. If the further documentation is still not reasonably adequate, the
City Engineer shall notify the Developer in writing within such thirty day period and may revise
the Actual Cost Certificate to delete any disallowed items and the determination shall be final
and conclusive. The failure to approve or disapprove of the additional documentation within such
thirty day period shall be deemed approval, and the City Engineer shall process the payment
request. If only a portion of the Actual Cost requires further documentation, the City Engineer
shall approve for payment the Actual Costs that do not require further documentation.
Where a specific contract has been awarded for design or engineering work relating solely to an
Acquisition Improvement or Acquisition Improvements, one hundred percent (100%) of the
costs under the contract will be allocated to that Acquisition Improvement. Costs of
environmental mitigation required solely to mitigate impacts of an Acquisition Improvement or
Acquisition Improvements will be allocated one hundred percent (100%) to that Acquisition
Improvements.
5.7. Conditions Precedent to Payment of Acquisition Price. Payment to the
Developer or its designee of the Acquisition Price for an Acquisition Improvement from an
Acquisition and Construction Fund shall in every case be conditioned first upon the
determination of the City Engineer, pursuant to Section 5.6, that the Acquisition Improvement
satisfies all City regulations and ordinances and is otherwise complete and ready for acceptance
by the City, and shall be further conditioned upon satisfaction of the following additional
conditions precedent:
a) The Developer shall have provided the City with lien releases or
other similar documentation satisfactory to the City Engineer as evidence that none of the
9
4141-5871-9282.6
property (including any rights-of-way or other easements necessary for the operation and
maintenance of the Acquisition Improvement, to the extent not already publicly owned)
comprising the Acquisition Improvement, and the property which is subject to the Special Taxes
of the Community Facilities District, is not subject to any prospective mechanics lien claim
respecting the Acquisition Improvements.
b) The Developer shall be current in the payment of all due and
payable general property taxes, and all Special Taxes of the Community Facilities District, on
property owned by the Developer or under option to the Developer within the Community
Facilities District.
c) The Developer shall have provided the City with the Title
Documents needed to provide the City with title to the site, right-of-way, or easement upon
which the subject Acquisition Improvement is situated. All such Title Documents shall be in a
form acceptable to the City and shall convey Acceptable Title. The Developer shall provide a
policy of title insurance as of the date of transfer in a form acceptable to the City Engineer and
the City Attorney insuring the City as to the interests acquired in connection with the acquisition
of any interest for which such a policy of title insurance is not required by another agreement
between the City and the Developer. Each title insurance policy required hereunder shall be in
the amount equal to the Acquisition Price. The amount paid to the Developer or its designee
upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions precedent shall be the Acquisition Price less all
Installment Payments paid previously with respect to the Acquisition Improvement.
5.8. Payment for Eligible Portions. The Developer may submit an Actual Cost
Certificate to the City Engineer with respect to any Eligible Portion. Payment to the Developer
or its designee from an Acquisition and Construction Fund of an Installment Payment with
respect to such Eligible Portion shall in every case be conditioned first upon the determination of
the City Engineer, pursuant to Section 5.6, that the Eligible Portion has been completed in
accordance with the applicable plans and specifications and that the Eligible Portion satisfies all
City regulations and ordinances and is otherwise complete and, where appropriate, is ready for
acceptance by the City, and shall be further conditioned upon satisfaction of the following
additional conditions precedent:
a) The Developer shall have provided the City with lien releases or
other similar documentation satisfactory to the City Engineer as evidence that the property
(including any rights-of-way or other easements necessary for the operation and maintenance of
the Eligible Portion, to the extent not already owned by the City) comprising the Eligible Portion
is not subject to any prospective mechanics lien claim respecting the Eligible Portion.
b) The Developer shall be current in the payment of all due and
payable general property taxes, and all Special Taxes of the Community Facilities District, on
property owned by the Developer or under option to the Developer within the Community
Facilities District.
c) The Developer shall have provided the City with Title Documents
needed to provide the City with title to the site, right-of-way, or easement upon which the subject
Eligible Portion is situated. All such Title Documents shall be in a form acceptable to the City
10
4141-5871-9282.6
Engineer and shall be sufficient, upon completion of the Acquisition Improvement of which the
Eligible Portion is a part, to convey Acceptable Title.
d) Payment and performance bonds, from a bonding company with an
A.M. Best rating of at least “A-” or its equivalent, applying to plans and specifications for the
Acquisition Improvement approved by the City, shall be in place to secure completion of the
Acquisition Improvement of which the Eligible Portion is a part.
5.9. Development Impact Fees. Development impact fees specified, or
allocable to an Acquisition Improvement specified, in Agreement Exhibit B may be financed
from Available Amounts. With respect to development impact fees allocable to an Acquisition
Improvement, Developer shall submit a written request to the City Engineer specifying the
development impact fee and the amount of the Available Amounts to be used to pay or reimburse
such development impact fee. The City Engineer shall approve or disapprove of the proposed use
of Available Amounts to pay or reimburse such development impact fees within thirty days after
receipt of such request. The failure to respond within such time frame shall be deemed approval
of the use of Available Amounts to pay or reimburse such development impact fees. If the City
Engineer, during such time period, reasonably finds that the use of the Available Amounts to pay
or reimburse such development impact fees would not be permitted under federal income tax
rules for tax-exempt bonds or under other law, the City Engineer shall advise the Developer in
writing of the basis of such finding. For development impact fees that have not already been
paid by the Developer, fees may be prepaid from Available Amounts and the Developer shall be
considered to have paid such fees on the date of such payment. Development impact fees paid
by the Developer to the City prior to the availability of Available Amounts shall be reimbursed
to the Developer from Available Amounts (as and when available), subject to any applicable
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code required to maintain the tax-exempt status of any
Bonds.
5.10. Disbursement Request Form. Upon a determination by the City Engineer
to pay the Acquisition Price of an Acquisition Improvement pursuant to Section 5.7, to pay an
Installment Payment for an Eligible Portion pursuant to Section 5.8, or to provide for the
payment or reimbursement of a development impact fee allocable to an Acquisition
Improvement pursuant to Section 5.9, the City Engineer shall, within fifteen days after such
determination, cause a Disbursement Request Form substantially in the form attached hereto as
Agreement Exhibit C to be submitted to the Authority Trustee, and the Authority Trustee shall
make payment directly to the party specified in such Disbursement Request Form of the amount
specified pursuant to the applicable Authority Trust Agreement. The City may request
disbursement of any development impact fees funded with Available Amounts in accordance
with the provisions of an Authority Trust Agreement by submitting a Disbursement Request to
the Authority Trustee in substantially the form attached hereto as Agreement Exhibit C
pertaining to fee disbursement and the Authority Trustee shall make payment directly to the City
or its designee. The Authority, the City and the Developer acknowledge and agree that the
Authority Trustee shall make payment strictly in accordance with the Disbursement Request
Form and shall not be required to determine whether or not the Acquisition Improvement or
Eligible Portion has been completed or what the Actual Costs may be with respect to the
Acquisition Improvement or Eligible Portion. The Authority Trustee shall be entitled to rely on
the executed Disbursement Request Form on its face without any further duty of investigation.
11
4141-5871-9282.6
Development impact fees may be paid from an Authority Trust Agreement for each and every
Improvement Area, provided that a fee may be paid only once.
In the event that the Actual Cost of an Acquisition Improvement or the Installment Payment for
an Eligible Portion is in excess of the Available Amount, the Authority Trustee shall withdraw
all funds remaining in the applicable Acquisition and Construction Fund and shall transfer those
amounts to the Developer or the City, as applicable, or its designee. The unpaid portion of the
Actual Cost shall be paid from funds that may subsequently be deposited in the same or another
Acquisition and Construction Fund from a subsequent issuance of Bonds, from prepayments of
Special Taxes to be used for construction or acquisition of Acquisition Improvements, or from
Special Tax revenues, if any of those occurs. Acquisition Improvements may be paid from the
Authority Trust Agreement for each and every Improvement Area, provided that an Acquisition
Price may be paid only once.
5.11. Limitation on Obligations. In no event shall the City or the Authority be
required to pay the Developer or its designee more than the Available Amounts (available from
time to time).
5.12. Audit. The City and the Authority shall have the right, during normal
business hours and upon the giving of ten days’ written notice to the Developer, to review all
books and records of the Developer pertaining to costs and expenses incurred by the Developer
(for which the Developer seeks reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement) in constructing the
Acquisition Improvements.
6. Indemnity and Insurance.
6.1. Indemnification. Developer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the City
and Authority, including elective and appointed boards, commissions, officers, agents,
employees and consultants (each an “Indemnified Party” and collectively the “Indemnified
Parties”), harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages or injuries of
any kind (collectively, “Claims”) arising out of Developer’s, or Developer’s contractors’,
subcontractors’, agents’ or employees’, acts, omissions, or operations under this Agreement,
including, but not limited to, the construction by the Developer of any Acquisition Improvement,
whether such acts, omissions, or operations are by Developer or any of Developer’s contractors,
subcontractors, agents or employees, except to the extent such Claims are caused by the sole
negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party. This indemnification includes,
without limitation, the payment of all penalties, fines, judgments, awards, decrees, attorneys’
fees, and related costs or expenses, and the reimbursement of City, its elected officials, officers,
employees, and/or agents for all legal expenses and costs incurred by each of them. Developer
shall defend the City as required by California Civil Code Section 2778, and with counsel
reasonably acceptable to the City. Developer shall have no right to seek reimbursement from
City for the costs of defense.
The aforementioned indemnity shall apply regardless of whether or not City has prepared,
supplied or approved plans and/or specifications for the Acquisition Improvements and
regardless of whether any insurance, workers compensation, disability or other employee benefit
acts or terms required under this Agreement are applicable to any Claims. The City does not and
12
4141-5871-9282.6
shall not waive any of its rights under this indemnity provision because of its acceptance of the
bonds or insurance required under the provisions of this Agreement. Developer’s obligation to
indemnify City shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
Developer agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set
forth here in this section from each and every sub-contractor or any other person or entity
involved by, for, with or on behalf of Developer in the performance of this Agreement, except
from such parties that have been engaged prior to the Effective Date. In the event Developer
fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required here, Developer agrees to be
fully responsible according to the terms of this section. Failure of City to monitor compliance
with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a
waiver of any rights hereunder.
6.2. Assignment and Assumption of Obligations to Authority. In addition to
the indemnification obligations described above, consistent with the requirements of
Section 4.04 of the Development Agreement, Developer is solely responsible for the costs,
expenses and liability associated with the formation of the Community Facilities District. As a
result of Developer’s selection of the Authority, City was obligated to adopt a Resolution, as
described above in Recital D, authorizing the Authority to form the Community Facilities
District within the city limits for the benefit of Developer. Paragraphs 12, 13 and 14 of the
Resolution require the City to indemnify and hold harmless the Authority for specified risks and
to comply with the payment of prevailing wages and satisfy other public contracting
requirements. The City and Developer acknowledge in authorizing the Resolution, that the City
reserved the right to require the Developer to assume the entirety of such responsibility and by
this Paragraph 6.2 intend to effectuate that right. Accordingly, City hereby assigns to Developer
all of its obligations and responsibilities under Paragraphs 12, 13 and 14 of the Resolution.
Developer hereby accepts said assignment and assumes all obligations and responsibilities under
Paragraphs 12, 13 and 14 of the Resolution, and further agrees to perform all of City’s
obligations and covenants under Paragraphs 12, 13 and 14 of the Resolution as if Developer were
the original signatory thereto.
6.3. Insurance. For an Acquisition Improvement, Developer shall maintain
insurance in amount and substance as required under any Development Documents applicable to
such Acquisition Improvement.
7. Breach of Agreement; Opportunity to Cure; Remedies.
7.1. Notice of Breach and Default. The occurrence of any of the following
constitutes a breach and default of this Agreement:
(1) Developer refuses or fails to complete any Acquisition Improvement
within the time set forth in the applicable Development Documents or abandons an Acquisition
Improvement.
(2) Developer assigns the Agreement to an unaffiliated entity without the
prior written consent of City.
13
4141-5871-9282.6
(3) Developer is adjudged bankrupt or makes a general assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or a receiver is appointed in the event of Developer’s insolvency.
(4) Developer or Developer’s contractors, subcontractors, agents or
employees, fail to comply with any terms or conditions of this Agreement to which the
Developer or Developer's contractors, subcontractors, agents, or employees are subject.
(5) Any delay in the construction of any portion of an Acquisition
Improvement or repairs as set forth in the applicable Development Documents, which in the
reasonable opinion of the City Engineer, endangers public or private property.
(6) City fails to perform any obligation under this Agreement.
The City or Developer, as applicable, must serve written notice of breach and default upon the
other party (the “Defaulting Party”), and any surety that has provided bonds with respect to an
Acquisition Improvement. The Defaulting Party shall have 90 days to cure the breach and
default described in the written notice of breach and default.
7.2. Breach of Agreement; Performance by City. If the City or Developer, as
applicable, gives notice under Section 7.1 and the Defaulting Party fails to cure the breach and
default described in the written notice prior to the expiration of the 90-day cure period, an "
Event of Default" shall be deemed to have occurred. In the event of the occurrence and
continuation of an Event of Default by Developer, the City may exercise the remedies described
in Section 7.3 below, including the right of the City to proceed to complete the Acquisition
Improvement by contract or other method the City considers advisable, at the sole expense of
Developer. In the event of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default by Developer
under Section 7.1(1) or 7.1(5), (i) Developer, immediately upon demand, shall pay the costs and
charges related to the Acquisition Improvement and any subsequent repairs, (ii) City, without
liability for doing so, may take possession of and utilize in completing the Acquisition
Improvement and repairs, if any, such materials and other property belonging to Developer as
may be on or about the Property and necessary for completion of the Acquisition Improvement,
and (iii) the City may draw upon any surety bonds required by the applicable Development
Documents.
7.3. Remedies. It is acknowledged by the parties that the City would not have
entered into this Agreement if it were to be liable in damages under or with respect to this
Agreement or the application thereof, other than for the payment to the Developer of any
(i) moneys owing to the Developer hereunder, or (ii) moneys paid by the Developer pursuant to
the provisions hereof which are misappropriated or improperly obtained, withheld or applied by
the City.
In general, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the applicable party
may pursue any remedy at law or equity available for the breach of any provision of this
Agreement, except that the City shall not be liable in damages to the Developer or to any
assignee or transferee of the Developer other than for the payments to the Developer for the
Acquisition Price of any Acquisition Improvement or Installment Payment in respect of any
14
4141-5871-9282.6
Eligible Portion thereof. Subject to the foregoing, the Developer covenants not to sue for or
claim any damages for any alleged breach of, or dispute which arises out of, this Agreement.
8. Miscellaneous.
8.1. Compliance with Laws. Developer shall fully comply with all federal,
state and local laws, ordinances and regulations in the performance of this Agreement.
Developer shall, at its own cost and expense, obtain all necessary permits and licenses for the
Acquisition Improvement, give all necessary notices, pay all fees and taxes required by law and
make any and all deposits legally required by those public utilities that will serve the
development on the Project. Copies and/or proof of payment of said permits, licenses, notices,
fee and tax payments and deposits shall be furnished to the City Engineer upon request.
8.2. Cooperation. The City, the Authority and the Developer agree to
cooperate with respect to the completion of the financing of the Acquisition Improvements by
the Authority through the levy of the Community Facilities District Special Taxes and issuance
of Bonds. The City, the Authority, and the Developer agree to meet in good faith to resolve any
differences on future matters which are not specifically covered by this Agreement.
8.3. General Standard of Reasonableness. Any provision of this Agreement
which requires the consent, approval or acceptance of either party hereto or any of their
respective employees, officers or agents shall be deemed to require that the consent, approval or
acceptance not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless the provision expressly incorporates
a different standard. The foregoing provision shall not apply to provisions in the Agreement
which provide for decisions to be in the sole discretion of the party making the decision.
8.4. Notices. Formal written notices, demands, correspondence and
communications between City and Developer shall be sufficiently given if: (a) personally
delivered; or (b) dispatched by next day delivery by a reputable carrier such as Federal Express

Re: CSCDA Community Facilities District No. 2022-12 (SOMO Village)
The undersigned, a duly authorized officer of the CITY OF ROHNERT PARK (the “City”)
hereby requests a withdrawal from the [Acquisition and Construction Fund held under the
Trust Agreement for the California Statewide Communities Development Authority
Community Facilities District No. 2022-12 (SOMO Village) Special Tax Bonds, Series ___],
as follows:
Request Date: [Insert Date of Request]
Name of Developer: __________________________________
Withdrawal Amount: [Insert Acquisition Price/Installment Payment]
Acquisition Improvements: [Insert Description of Acquisition
Improvement(s)/Eligible Portion(s)]
Payment Instructions: [Insert Wire Instructions or Payment Address
for Developer or Developer’s designee as
provided by the Developer]
The undersigned hereby certifies as follows:
The Withdrawal is being made in accordance with a permitted use of the monies pursuant to
the Acquisition and Fee Funding Agreement and the Withdrawal is not being made for the
purpose of reinvestment.
None of the items for which payment is requested have been reimbursed previously from any
Acquisition and Construction Fund.
If the Withdrawal Amount is greater than the funds held in an Acquisition and Construction
Fund, the Authority Trustee is authorized to pay the amount of such funds and to pay
remaining amount(s) as funds are subsequently deposited in an Acquisition and Construction
Fund, should that occur.
The amounts being disbursed pursuant to this request are being used to finance or refinance
certain public infrastructure and facilities (the “Acquisition Improvements”). The City will
C-2
4141-5871-9282.6
own, and for the entire useful life of such Acquisition Improvements reasonably expects to
own, all of such Acquisition Improvements. To the extent any of such Acquisition
Improvements are sold to an entity that is not a state or local government agency, the City
will seek the advice and approval of bond counsel to the Authority prior to any such sale.
The City will not allow any of such Acquisition Improvements to be used (for example, by
lease or other contract) in the trade or business of any nongovernmental persons (other than
in their roles as members of the general public). All of such Acquisition Improvements will
be used in the performance of essential governmental functions of the City or another state or
local government agency. The average expected useful life of such Acquisition
Improvements is at least 20 years. The representations and covenants contained in this
paragraph are intended to support the conclusion that the interest paid on the bonds issued to
finance the Acquisition Improvements is excluded from gross income for federal income tax
purposes under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).
