Section 2.

The Joint Powers Agreement, together with the terms and provisions of this resolution, shall together constitute a joint community facilities agreement between the City and the Authority under the Act. As, without this resolution, the Authority has no power to conduct proceedings under the Act to form the Community Facilities District, adoption by the Commission of the Authority of the Resolution of Intention to form the Community Facilities District under the Act shall constitute acceptance of the terms hereof by the Authority. Section 4. This resolution and the agreement it embodies are determined to be in the best interests of the residents of the City, and of the future residents of the area within the Community Facilities District. Section 5. The City acknowledges that the Authority has adopted Local Goals and Policies as required by Section 53312.7 of the Act. The City approves the use of those Local Goals and Policies for use in connection with the Community Facilities District, and hereby agrees that the Authority may act under those Local Goals and Policies in forming and administering the Community Facilities District. Section 6. Pursuant to the Act and this resolution, the Authority may conduct proceedings under the Act to form the Community Facilities District and to have it authorize the financing of the facilities and fees set forth on Exhibit B, attached hereto. All of the facilities, whether to be financed directly or through fees, are facilities that have an expected useful life of five years or longer and are facilities that the City or other local public agencies, as the case may be, are authorized by law to construct, own or operate, or to which they may contribute revenue. The facilities are referred to herein as the "Improvements," and the Improvements to be owned by the City are referred to as the "City Improvements." The fees are referred to as the "Fees," and the Fees paid or to be paid to the City are referred to as the "City Fees." Section 7. For Fees paid or to be paid to another local agency, the Authority will obtain the written consent of that local agency before issuing bonds to fund such Fees, as required by the Act. For the Improvements to be owned by other local agencies, the Authority will separately identify them in its proceedings, and will enter into joint community facilities agreements with those local agencies prior to issuing bonds to finance such Improvements, as required by the Act. Each joint community facilities agreement with a local agency will contain a provision that the local agency will provide indemnification to the City to the same extent that the City provides indemnification to the local agencies under the terms of this resolution.

The City Council certifies to the Commission of the Authority that all of the City Improvements including the improvements to be constructed or acquired with the proceeds of City Fees are necessary to meet increased demands placed upon the City of Bakersfield as a result of development occurring or expected to occur within the Community Facilities District. Joint community facilities agreements with other local agencies will each contain a certification with respect to the Improvements to be owned by, and Fees paid or to be paid to, the local agency equivalent to that made by the City in this paragraph. Section 9. The Authority will apply the special tax collections initially as required by the documents under which any bonds are issued; and thereafter, to the extent not provided in the bond documents, may pay its own reasonable administrative costs incurred in the o�,�6AKF9s a OHSUSA:759338621.2 3 U p ORIGINAL administration of the Community Facilities District.

The City will apply any such special tax revenues it receives for authorized City Improvements or City Fees and its own administrative costs only as permitted by the Act. The joint community facilities agreements with other local agencies must require the other local agencies to apply the special tax revenues they receive for their authorized Improvements and Fees under the Community Facilities District and for their own related administrative costs only as permitted by the Act. Section 10. The Authority will administer the Community Facilities District, including employing and paying all consultants, annually levying the special tax and all aspects of paying and administering the bonds, and complying with all State and Federal requirements appertaining to the proceedings, including the requirements of the United States Internal Revenue Code. The City will cooperate fully with the Authority in respect of the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and to the extent information is required of the City to enable the Authority to perform its disclosure and continuing disclosure obligations with respect to the bonds, although the City will not participate in nor be considered to be a participant in the proceedings respecting the Community Facilities District (other than as a party to the agreement embodied by this resolution) nor will the City be or be considered to be an issuer of the bonds. The Authority is required to obtain a provision equivalent to this paragraph in all joint community facilities agreements with other local agencies. Section 11. In the event the Authority completes issuance and sale of bonds, and bond proceeds become available to finance the Improvements, the Authority shall establish and maintain a special fund to be known as the "City of Bakersfield Rio Bravo Project Community Facilities District Acquisition and Construction Fund" (the "Acquisition and Construction Fund "). The portion of bond proceeds which is intended to be utilized to finance the Improvements and Fees shall be deposited in the Acquisition and Construction Fund. The Acquisition and Construction Fund will be available both for City Improvements and City Fees and for the Improvements and Fees pertaining to the other local agencies. Section 12. As respects the Authority and the other local agencies, the City agrees to fully administer, and to take full governmental responsibility for, the construction or acquisition of the City Improvements and for the administration and expenditure of the City Fees including but not limited to environmental review, approval of plans and specifications, bid requirements, performance and payment bond requirements, insurance requirements, contract and construction administration, staking, inspection, acquisition of necessary property interests in real or personal property, the holding back and administration of retention payments, punch list administration, and the Authority and the other local agencies shall have no responsibility in that regard. The City reserves the right, as respects the Developer, to require the Developer to contract with the City to assume any portion or all of this responsibility. The Authority is required to obtain provisions equivalent to this paragraph in the joint community facilities agreement with the other local agencies. Section 13. The City agrees to indemnify and to hold the Authority, its other members, and its other members' officers, agents and employees, and the other local agencies and their officers, agents and employees (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties ") harmless from AK499 OHSUSA:759338621.2 4 v o ORIGINAI Oak w.

The Authority is required to obtain a provision equivalent to this paragraph in all joint community facilities agreements with the other local agencies naming the City and its officers, agents and employees as Indemnified Parties with respect to the other local agencies' Improvements and the improvements to be constructed or acquired with the other local agencies' Fees.

The City acknowledges that this means all City Improvements must be constructed under contracts that require the payment of prevailing wages as required by Section 1720 and following of the Labor Code of the State of California. The Authority makes no representation that this requirement is the only applicable legal requirement in this regard. The City reserves the right, as respects the Developer, to assign appropriate responsibility for compliance with this paragraph to the Developer. Section 16.

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. In the event that the City Engineer 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. If the further documentation is still not adequate, the City Engineer may revise the Actual Cost Certificate to delete any disallowed items and the determination shall be final and conclusive. Certain soft costs for the Acquisition Improvements, such as civil engineering, may have been incurred pursuant to single contracts that include work relating also to the private portions of the Project. In those instances, the total costs under such contracts will be allocated to each Acquisition Improvement based on the methodology specified in Exhibit A, or as otherwise approved by the City Engineer. Where a specific contract has been awarded for design or engineering work relating solely to OHSUSA:75 934 1 5 09.1 P, K4 U F ORIGINAL an Acquisition Improvement, one hundred percent (100 %) of the costs under the contract will be allocated to that Acquisition Improvement. Amounts allocated to an Acquisition Improvement will be further allocated among the Eligible Portions of that Acquisition Improvement, if any, in the same proportion as the amount to be reimbursed for hard costs for each Eligible Portion bears to the amount to be reimbursed for hard costs for the entire Acquisition Improvement. Costs will be allocated to each Acquisition Improvement based on the methodology specified in Exhibit A, or as otherwise approved by the City Engineer. The costs of certain environmental mitigation required to mitigate impacts of the public and private portions of the Project will be allocated to each Acquisition Improvement based on the methodology specified in Exhibit A, or as otherwise approved by the City Engineer.
