DATE OF BONDS AND INTEREST RATE: Bonds are to be dated the 2nd day of June, 1972, and will bear interest from said date. Interest rate is fixed in the Resolution of Intention, as amended, at not to exceed seven per cent (7%) per annum.

SOM PURPOSE OF ISSUE: Said bonds are authorized to be issued by the City Council of the City of San Rafael, Marin County, California, by Resolution of Intention No. 3998, as amended, and proceedings subsequent thereto. The purpose is for the construction of storm drainage facilities, street improvements, sanitary sewers, the construction of a levee and all appurtenances thereto. These improvements are within the boundaries of the assessment district designated, "East San Rafael Drainage Assessment District No. 1, City of San Rafael, Marin County, California", and refer- ence for details is made to the proceedings for the formation and comple- tion of said assessment district. PAYMENT: Both principal and interest are payable in lawful money of the United States at the office of the Marin County Treasurer, Civic Center Building, San Rafael, California. CALLABLE BONDS: All bonds are callable pursuant to the provi- sions of the Improvement Bond Act of 1915 twice each year. No bonds may be called except on July 2 or January 2, and there must be a sixty day notice of call. Any bond called will have interest to date of call and a premium of five per cent (50) of the principal amount. AUTHORITY FOR ISSUANCE: Said bonds were authorized to be issued by the proceedings in said assessment district,and said assessment district was organized and consummated under the provisions of the Municipal Improve- ment Act of 1913 and bonds provided to be issued under the Improvement Bond Act of 1915 of the State of California. SECURITY: Said bonds are payable from the redemption fund pro- vided by law which is secured by all of the unpaid assessments within the boundaries of said district. Said bonds are further secured by a limited guarantee on the part of the entity which issued said bonds. Under the provisions of the Improvement Bond Act of 1915, any real property on which the owners have failed to pay installments of assessments as they fall due is sold for delinquencies by the City in the same manner as real property is sold for delinquent taxes. It is the duty of the City of San Rafael to bid such property in at such tax sale. It then becomes the duty of Qct the City to transfer to the Redemption Fund the amount of the purchase. In the event there is not sufficient money in the General Fund to trans- fer this amount into the Redemption Fund, it becomes the mandatory duty of the City to levy a tax up to 10� on each $100.00 of assessed valuation of property within the boundaries of the City of San Rafael sufficient in amount to pay for the delinquencies. It becomes the continuing city of the City, throughout the life of the bond issue, to levy such a tax and to pay for the installments upon property sold to the City for delinquen- cies. The maximum levy which the City is obligated to make in any one year is 10� on each $100.00 of assessed valuation. The assessed valuation of all taxable real property in the City of San Rafael for the fiscal year 1971/72 is the sum of $153,660,614.00. Ten cents on the $100.00 would therefore raise, in the City of San Rafael, the sum of $153,660.00. LEGAL OPINION: The legal opinion of the law firm of Sturgis, Den-Dulk, Douglass & Anderson, 1322 Webster St., Oakland, California 946121, approving the validity of said bonds will be furnished to the successful bidder without charge. In the opinion of Counsel, interest on the bonds is exempt from all federal income taxes, and from State of California per- sonal income taxes, under presently existing statutes, regulations and court decisions, and the bonds are also exempt from all California taxes except inheritance, gift and franchise taxes. HIGHEST BID: Bidders are requested to name the interest rate or rates not exceeding seven per cent (7%) per annum in multiples of 1/8 or 1/20 of one per cent (1%). Each bidder must specify in his bid the amount and maturities of the bonds of each rate and all bonds maturing on the same date must bear interest at the same rate. No bid may name more than four interest rates, any of which may be repeated. No rate may be more than one and one-half per cent (1-1/2%) higher than the lowest rate named in the bid. The interest payable on any bond on any interest pay- ment date may,•however, be represented by one or more coupons. A zero rate cannot be named for all or any of the time from the date of the bond to -4- its stated maturity and the premium, if any, must be paid in the funds specified for payment of the bonds as part of the purchase price. No bid for less than 99% of par and accrued interest or for less than all of the bonds offered will be entertained. Unless all bids are rejected, the bonds will be awarded to the bidder whose proposal results in the lowest net interest cost to the issuer, and the net interest cost will be determined by deducting the amount of any premium paid from the aggregate amount of interest upon all of the bonds from their date until their respective maturities.
