DATE: March 7, 2016
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council through City Manager
FROM: William Mushallo, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Resolutions of the Petaluma Public Financing Authority and the Petaluma City
Council Authorizing the Issuance of a Refunding Lease Obligation for the
Purpose of Refinancing at Lower Interest Rates the City of Petaluma 2003
Certificates of Participation and the City of Petaluma 2005 Caltrans Airport Loan
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Petaluma Public Financing Authority and the Petaluma City Council
adopt the attached Resolutions authorizing the issuance of a Refunding Lease Obligation for the
purpose of refinancing at lower interest rates the City of Petaluma 2003 Certificates of
Participation and the City of Petaluma 2005 Caltrans Airport Loan.
BACKGROUND
In December 2003, the City of Petaluma issued $6,295,000 of Certificates of Participation
(COPS) to finance certain capital improvements in the City, including improvements to the
Petaluma Municipal Airport. Additionally, in February 2005, the City of Petaluma borrowed
$1,400,000 from the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to finance
improvements to the Petaluma Municipal Airport.
Currently, $4,210,000 of the 2003 COPS and $706,394 of the 2005 Caltrans Airport Loan remain
outstanding.
An opportunity now exists for the City to refinance the outstanding COPS and Caltrans Loan at
lower interest rates, and in so doing, realize significant debt service savings. At today's
relatively low interest rates, the outstanding COPS and Caltrans Loan can be refinanced at an
"all-inclusive" interest rate of approximately 3.05%, as compared to an average interest rate of
approximately 5.00% on the outstanding COPS and an average interest rate of approximately
4.73% on the outstanding Caltrans Loan.
DISCUSSION
There are three common methods used by cities such as Petaluma to refinance outstanding debt:
competitive sales, negotiated sales and direct private placements. Depending on a variety of
factors including the security, size, term, structure and creditworthiness of the debt, one or
another method of sale will achieve the best overall result, meaning the lowest possible true
interest cost.
City staff in consultation with the City's financing team determined that in this instance, a
private placement would achieve the best overall result. A private placement is when a
municipality such as the City of Petaluma sells a debt obligation directly to an investor, typically
a large commercial bank. By comparison, with a competitive or negotiated sale a municipality
sells its debt to a broker-dealer who then re -sells the debt to investors.
During January, 2016 the City's financing team solicited proposals from several commercial
banks that are active participants in the private placement market for municipal debt in
California. Based on the responses, the City determined that the proposal submitted by BBVA
Compass Bank (BBVA) was best.
In their proposal, BBVA offered to refinance the outstanding COP and Caltrans Loan at an
indicative interest rate of 2.50%. An indicative interest rate is the rate at which a bank or
investor is willing to purchase debt on the date its proposal is submitted. The actual interest rate
at which BBVA may refinance the City's outstanding debt will not be finalized until shortly
before closing. Depending on market conditions at the time of closing, the actual interest rate
may differ from the indicative rate. Moreover, BBVA is under no legal obligation to refinance
the outstanding debt, and retains the right to rescind its offer any time prior to closing.
Similarly, if for any reason prior to closing the City determines that refinancing the outstanding
debt is no longer in its best interest, then the City may cancel the transaction.
Notwithstanding the above, BBVA is highly experienced in transactions of this nature, and has a
very good track record of completing such transactions once begun. BBVA, the City and the
City's financing team are now working together to finalize all of the arrangements necessary to
complete the transaction as soon as possible.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
Based on current market conditions and prevailing interest rates, this refinancing will result in
total debt service savings of approximately $855,000 over the life of the refinancing. These
savings are net of all issuance costs and assume the final maturity of the Refunding Lease
Obligation will be on November 1, 2025, which is approximately three years earlier than when
the 2003 COPS were due to mature.
Another useful measure of the savings from this type of refinancing is `net present value'
savings. Net present value savings measures the "real" savings or the "economic benefit" of a
refinancing by taking into account the time value of money and the costs of issuance.
Based on current market conditions, the estimated net present value savings for this refinancing
is $693,000 or 14.1% of the par amount of outstanding debt being refinanced. As a general rule
of thumb, a refinancing that generates net present value savings of 10% or more is considered
excellent.
The actual amount of savings, however, will not be determined until shortly before closing.
Moreover, if interest rates increase appreciably prior to closing, then the actual amount of
savings may be considerably less. And, in the event interest rates increase dramatically prior to
closing, it is even possible that the savings may not be sufficient to warrant proceeding with the
refinancing, in which case the refinancing may be cancelled or delayed until a later date.
The total cost of issuing the Refunding Lease Obligation is expected not -to -exceed $125,000
including all costs for legal counsel services, financial advisory services, placement agent,
trustee, escrow agent and verification agent services, title insurance and miscellaneous expenses.
All of these costs of issuance are payable from proceeds of the Refunding Lease Obligation. If
the refinancing fails to close, then all of these costs will be waived and the City will not be
billed, with one possible exception. A portion of the legal fees, estimated at not -to -exceed
$5,000 is not contingent. In addition, all staff costs associated with the refinancing will be
reimbursed from the proceeds of the refunding.
No general fund monies will be expended in connection with this refinancing, however, the
General Fund will continue to be required to make debt service payments should the Airport not
be able to. This is the same arrangement as the current financing. A benefit of the refinancing is
that the security will now be provided by the assets of the Airport, as opposed to the Police
Station and the Community Center.
The proposed refunding action takes the form of a lease/lease back arrangement. Typically, City
lease actions are taken by ordinance to satisfy the requirement of Section 46 of the Petaluma City
Charter. Section 46 of the Charter provides that certain specified City actions, including actions
to lease property, shall be done by ordinance, except where the Council takes action pursuant to
general state law. The proposed refunding action does not require action by ordinance because it
satisfies the exception for actions under general state law, in accordance with the following.
Section 37380 of the California Government Code authorizes cities to lease city owned and
controlled property. The Marks -Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985 (the Bond Act),
California Government Code Section 6584 and following, authorizes the creation of financing
authorities pursuant to Bond Act and the Joint Exercise of Powers Law (the Joint Exercise Law),
Government Code Section 6500 and following, to assist in the financing of local agency capital
improvement projects. The City of Petaluma adopted Resolution No. 96-131 on May 20th, 1996,
to create the Petaluma Public Financing Authority (the Authority) pursuant to the Bond Act and
the Joint Exercise Law. The powers of the Authority pursuant to the Bond Act include the
power to lease land and structures as necessary or convenient for the financing of public capital
improvements, in accordance with subdivision (h) of Section 6588 of the Bond Act.
Accordingly, actions of the City Council and the Authority to authorize issuance of refunding
lease obligations as proposed are in accordance with Section 46 of the City's charter as actions
taken pursuant to the Bond Act and other general state law.
The attached Resolutions confer upon City staff all necessary authority to complete the
refinancing. Also attached are draft Financing Documents which drafts may be modified prior to
execution by City staff, as necessary.

applied towards the prepayment of the remaining Lease Payments under Section 9.3.
The Bank shall be named as an additional insured party under the CLTA title policy.

portion of such Net Proceeds are to be applied to the prompt replacement, repair,
restoration, modification or improvement of the damaged or destroyed portions of the

applied to the prompt replacement, repair, restoration, modification or improvement of
the Leased Property, evidenced by a certificate signed by a City Representative.
(d) In the event the City determines to replace, repair, restore, modify or

improvement of the damaged or destroyed portions of the Leased Property by the City,
and until the Leased Property has been restored to its prior condition, the City shall not
place any lien or encumbrance on the Leased Property that is senior to this Lease

therefrom shall be deposited by the City in the Insurance and Condemnation Fund and
shall be applied and disbursed as follows:
(a) If the City has given written notice to the Bank of its determination

for such repair or rehabilitation.
(c) If (i) less than all of the Leased Property shall have been taken in
such eminent domain proceedings or sold to a government

given written notice to the Bank of its determination that such
eminent domain proceedings have materially affected the operation
of the Leased Property or the ability of the City to meet any of its
obligations with respect to the Leased Property under the Lease
Agreement or (ii) all of the Leased Property shall have been taken in
such eminent domain proceedings, then the City shall credit all of
such proceeds towards the prepayment of the Lease Payments
pursuant to Section 9.3.

SECTION 6.4. Termination or Abatement Due to Eminent Domain. If the Leased
Property is taken permanently under the power of eminent domain or sold to a
government threatening to exercise the power of eminent domain, the Term of this
Lease thereupon ceases as of the day possession is taken. If less than all of the Leased
Property is taken permanently, or if the Leased Property is taken temporarily, under the
power of eminent domain, then:
(a) this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect thereto
and does not terminate by virtue of such taking, and the parties
waive the benefit of any law to the contrary; and

determined by the City such that the resulting Lease Payments
represent fair consideration for the use and occupancy of the
remaining usable portions of the Leased Property.
The Lease Payments are also subject to abatement during any period in which
by reason of damage or destruction (other than by eminent domain which is
hereinbefore provided for) there is substantial interference with the use and occupancy
by the City of the Leased Property or any portion thereof. The Lease Payments are
subject to abatement in an amount determined by the City such that the resulting Lease
-26-
Payments represent fair consideration for the use and occupancy of the remaining
usable portions of the Leased Property not damaged or destroyed. Such abatement will
continue for the period commencing with such damage or destruction and ending with
the substantial completion of the work of repair or reconstruction. In the event of any
such damage or destruction, this Lease continues in full force and effect and the City
waives any right to terminate this Lease by virtue of any such damage and destruction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no abatement of Lease Payments under
this Section 6.4 to the extent that (a) the proceeds of rental interruption insurance or (b)
amounts in the Insurance and Condemnation Fund are available to pay Lease Payments
which would otherwise be abated under this Section 6.4, it being hereby declared that
such proceeds and amounts constitute special funds for the payment of the Lease

thereof, or some other event occurs, including, without limitation, condemnation or other
taking of all or a portion of the Leased Property, resulting in the abatement of all or a
portion of Lease Payments and Additional Payments hereunder, and the net proceeds of
insurance in the event of a casualty loss or the net proceeds of a condemnation or other
taking of the Leased Property are not sufficient to prepay a sufficient amount of the
Lease Payments to ensure that the Lease Payments and Additional Payments due
hereunder are paid in full, the City shall use its best efforts to provide Substitute Property
for the damaged or condemned portion of the Leased Property, provided that any such
substitution shall be subject to the approval, by resolution, of the City Council of the City
and the Governing Board of the Authority. To the extent practicable, any such Substitute
Property shall meet the requirements set forth in Section 3.2 hereof, provided that no
substitution occurring pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall be invalid due to one or more of
the requirements set forth Section 3.2 hereof not being met.

thereof, shall at any time for any reason cease to be the legal, valid
and binding obligation of the City or shall cease to be in full force

SECTION 8.2. Remedies on Default. Whenever any Event of Default has
happened and is continuing, the Authority may exercise any and all remedies available
under law or granted under this Lease. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
neither the Authority nor the Bank may accelerate the Lease Payments or otherwise
declare any Lease Payments not then in default to be immediately due and payable.
Each covenant hereof to be kept and performed by the City is expressly made a
condition and upon the breach thereof the Authority may exercise any and all rights
granted hereunder; except that no termination of this Lease may be effected either by
operation of law or acts of the parties hereto, except only in the manner herein expressly
provided. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the
Authority may exercise each and every one of the following remedies, subject in all
respects to the limitations set forth in Section 8.3.
(a) Enforcement of Payments Without Termination. If the Authority
does not elect to terminate this Lease in the manner hereinafter
provided for in subparagraph (b) hereof, the City agrees to and shall
remain liable for the payment of all Lease Payments and the
performance of all conditions herein contained and shall reimburse
the Authority for any deficiency arising out of the re-leasing of the
Leased Property, or, if the Authority is unable to re -lease the Leased
Property, then for the full amount of all Lease Payments to the end
of the Term of this Lease, but said Lease Payments and/or
deficiency shall be payable only at the same time and in the same
manner as hereinabove provided for the payment of Lease
Payments hereunder, notwithstanding such entry or re-entry by the
Authority or any suit in unlawful detainer, or otherwise, brought by
the Authority for the purpose of effecting such re-entry or obtaining
possession of the Leased Property or the exercise of any other
remedy by the Authority. The City hereby irrevocably appoints the
Authority as the agent and attorney-in-fact of the City to enter upon
and re -lease the Leased Property upon the occurrence and
continuation of an Event of Default and to remove all personal
property whatsoever situated upon the Leased Property, to place
the Leased Property in storage or other suitable place in the County
of Sonoma for the account of and at the expense of the City, and
the City hereby exempts and agrees to save harmless the Authority
from any costs, loss or damage whatsoever arising or occasioned
by any such entry upon and re-leasing of the Leased Property and
the removal and storage of the Leased Property by the Authority or
its duly authorized agents in accordance with the provisions herein
contained. The City agrees that the terms of this Lease constitute
full and sufficient notice of the right of the Authority to re -lease the
Leased Property in the event of such re-entry without effecting a
surrender of this Lease, and further agrees that no acts of the
-32-
Authority in effecting such re-leasing shall constitute a surrender or
termination of this Lease irrespective of the term for which such re-
leasing is made or the terms and conditions of such re-leasing, or
otherwise, but that, on the contrary, in the event of such default by
the City the right to terminate this Lease shall vest in the Authority to
be effected in the sole and exclusive manner hereinafter provided
for in subparagraph (b) hereof. The City agrees to surrender and
quit possession of the Leased Property upon demand of the
Authority for the purpose of enabling the Leased Property to be re -
let under this paragraph, and the City further waives the right to any
rental obtained by the Authority in excess of the Lease Payments
and hereby conveys and releases such excess to the Authority as
compensation to the Authority for its services in re-leasing the
Leased Property.
(b) Termination of Lease. If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing hereunder, the Authority at its option may terminate this
Lease and re -lease all or any portion of the Leased Property. If the
Authority terminates this Lease at its option and in the manner
hereinafter provided on account of default by the City (and
notwithstanding any re-entry upon the Leased Property by the
Authority in any manner whatsoever or the re-leasing of the Leased
Property), the City nevertheless agrees to pay to the Authority all
costs, loss or damages howsoever arising or occurring payable at
the same time and in the same manner as is herein provided in the
case of payment of Lease Payments and Additional Rental
Payments. Any surplus received by the Authority from such re-
leasing shall be applied by the Authority to pay the Lease Payments
due hereunder. Neither notice to pay rent or to deliver up
possession of the premises given under law nor any proceeding in
unlawful detainer taken by the Authority shall of itself operate to
terminate this Lease, and no termination of this Lease on account of
default by the City shall be or become effective by operation of law,
or otherwise, unless and until the Authority shall have given written
notice to the City of the election on the part of the Authority to
terminate this Lease. The City covenants and agrees that no
surrender of the Leased Property, or of the remainder of the Term
hereof or any termination of this Lease shall be valid in any manner
or for any purpose whatsoever unless stated or accepted by the
Authority by such written notice.
(c) Proceedings at Law or In Equity. If an Event of Default occurs and
continues hereunder, the Authority may take whatever action at law
or in equity may appear necessary or desirable to collect the
amounts then due and thereafter to become due hereunder or to
enforce any other of its rights hereunder.
SECTION 8.3. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon
reserved to the Authority is intended to be exclusive and every such remedy
cumulative and in addition to every other remedy given under this Lease or now
hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right
-33-
or
is
or
or
power accruing upon the occurrence of any Event of Default impairs any such right or
power or operates as a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised
from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle the
Authority to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article VIII it is not necessary to
give any notice, other than as expressly required in this Article VIII or by law.
SECTION 8.4. Agreement to Pay Attorneys' Fees and Expenses. If the Authority
or the City defaults under any of the provisions of this Lease and the nondefaulting party
employs attorneys or incurs other expenses for the collection of moneys or the
enforcement or performance or observance of any obligation or agreement on the part of
the defaulting party herein contained, the defaulting party will on demand therefor pay to
the nondefaulting party the reasonable fees of such attorneys and such other expenses
so incurred by the nondefaulting party.
SECTION 8.5. No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. If the Authority or
the City breaches any agreement in this Lease and thereafter the other party waives the
breach, such waiver is limited to the particular breach so waived and does not operate to
waive any other breach hereunder.
SECTION 8.6. Application of Proceeds. All net proceeds received from the re-
lease of the Leased Property under this Article VIII, and all other amounts derived by the
City or the Authority as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, shall be paid to
the Bank and applied towards the payment and prepayment of the Lease Payments.
SECTION 8.7. Judicial Reference.
(a) Judicial Reference. The Authority and the City hereby agree: (i) each
proceeding or hearing based upon or arising out of, directly or indirectly, this Lease or
any document related thereto, any dealings between the City and the Authority related to
the subject matter of this Lease or any related transactions, and/or the relationship that
is being established between the City and the Authority (hereinafter, a "Claim") shall be
determined by a consensual general judicial reference (the "Reference") pursuant to the
provisions of Section 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure, as such
statutes may be amended or modified from time to time; (ii) upon a written request, or
upon an appropriate motion by either the Authority or the City, as applicable, any
pending action relating to any Claim and every Claim shall be heard by a single Referee
(as defined below) who shall then try all issues (including any and all questions of law
and questions of fact relating thereto), and issue findings of fact and conclusions of law
and report a statement of decision. The Referee's statement of decision will constitute
the conclusive determination of the Claim. The Authority and the City agree that the
Referee shall have the power to issue all legal and equitable relief appropriate under the
circumstances before the Referee; (iii) the Authority and the City shall promptly and
diligently cooperate with one another, as applicable, and the Referee, and shall perform
such acts as may be necessary to obtain prompt and expeditious resolution of all Claims
in accordance with the terms of this Section; (iv) either the Authority or the City, as
applicable, may file the Referee's findings, conclusions and statement with the clerk or
judge of any appropriate court, file a motion to confirm the Referee's report and have
judgment entered thereon if the report is deemed incomplete by such court, the Referee
may be required to complete the report and resubmit it; (v) the Authority and the City, as
applicable, will each have such rights to assert such objections as are set forth in
Section 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure; and (vi) all proceedings
-34-
shall be closed to the public and confidential, and all records relating to the Reference
shall be permanently sealed when the order thereon becomes final.
(b) Selection of Referee; Powers. The parties to the Reference proceeding
shall select a single neutral referee (the "Referee"), who shall be a retired judge or
justice of the courts of the State of California, or a federal court judge, in each case, with
at least ten years of judicial experience in civil matters. The Referee shall be appointed
in accordance with Section 638 of the California Code of Civil Procedure (or pursuant to
comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of
the federal courts). If within ten days after the request or motion for the Reference, the
parties to the Reference proceeding cannot agree upon a Referee, then any party to
such proceeding may request or move that the Referee be appointed by the Presiding
Judge of the Sonoma County Superior Court, or of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern
District of California. The Referee shall determine all issues relating to the applicability,
interpretation, legality and enforceability of this Section.
(c) Provisional Remedies and Self Help. No provision of this Section shall limit
the right of either the Authority or the City, as the case may be, to (i) exercise such self-
help remedies as might otherwise be available under applicable law, or (ii) ) obtain or
oppose provisional or ancillary remedies, including without limitation injunctive relief,
writs of possession, the appointment of a receiver, and/or additional or supplementary
remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction before, after, or during the pendency of
any Reference. The exercise of, or opposition to, any such remedy does not waive the
right of the Authority or the City to the Reference pursuant to this Section.
(d) Costs and Fees. Promptly following the selection of the Referee, the
parties to such Reference proceeding shall each advance equal portions of the
estimated fees and costs of the Referee. In the statement of decision issued by the
Referee, the Referee shall award costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to the
prevailing party, if any, and may order the Referee's fees to be paid or shared by the
parties to such Reference proceeding in such manner as the Referee deems just.
SECTION 8.8. Assignee to Exercise Rights. Such rights and remedies as are
given to the Authority under this Article VIII have been assigned by the Authority to the
Bank and shall be exercised solely by the Bank.

ARTICLE IX
PREPAYMENT OF LEASE PAYMENTS
SECTION 9.1. Security Deposit. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Lease, the City may on any date secure the payment of the Lease Payments in whole or
in part by depositing with the Authority or a fiduciary reasonably satisfactory to the
Authority, in trust, an amount of cash, which shall be held in a segregated trust or
escrow fund under a trust or escrow agreement that is in form and content acceptable to
the Authority, which cash so held is either (a) sufficient to pay such Lease Payments,
including the principal and interest components thereof, in accordance with the Lease
Payment schedule set forth in Exhibit B, or (b) invested in whole in non -callable Federal
Securities maturing not later than the dates such funds will be required to make Lease
Payments or any prepayment in an amount which is sufficient, in the opinion of an
independent certified public accountant (which opinion must be in form and substance,
and with such an accountant, acceptable to the Authority and addressed and delivered
to the Authority), together with interest to accrue thereon and without reinvestment and
together with any cash which is so deposited, to pay such Lease Payments when due
under Section 4.3(a) or when due on any optional prepayment date under Section 9.2,
as the City instructs at the time of said deposit; provided, however, that at or prior to the
date on which any such security deposit is established, the City shall deliver to the
Authority an opinion of Bond Counsel (in form and substance acceptable to the
Authority) to the effect that any such security deposit will not adversely affect the
excludability of the interest component of Lease Payments from gross income of the
Authority for federal income tax purposes. In the event of a security deposit under this
Section with respect to all unpaid Lease Payments, (i) the Term of this Lease shall
continue, (ii) all obligations of the City under this Lease, and all security provided by this
Lease for said obligations, shall thereupon cease and terminate, excepting only (A) the
obligation of the City to make, or cause to be made, all of the Lease Payments from
such security deposit and, to the extent of any deficiency, as rent payable from other
legally available funds of the City, and (B) the release and indemnification obligations of
the City under subparagraphs (f) and (g) of Section 7.3, and (iii) under Section 4.5, the
Authority's leasehold interest in the Leased Property will vest in the City on the date of
said deposit automatically and without further action by the City or the Authority. The
City hereby grants a first priority security interest in and the lien on said security deposit
and all proceeds thereof in favor of the Authority. Said security deposit shall be deemed
to be and shall constitute a special fund for the payment of Lease Payments in
accordance with the provisions of this Lease and, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, Lease Payments therefrom shall not be subject to abatement under
Section 6.3 to the extent payable from the funds held by the Authority or the fiduciary as
described in the first sentence of this Section 9.1.
SECTION 9.2. Optional Prepayment. The City does not have the right to prepay
the Lease Payments.
SECTION 9.3. Mandatory Prepayment From Net Proceeds of Insurance or
Eminent Domain. The City shall prepay the principal components of the Lease
Payments allocable to the Leased Property in whole or in part on any date, from and to
the extent of any Net Proceeds of insurance award or eminent domain award with
respect to the Leased Property which are applied for that purpose under Article VI, plus
all accrued and unpaid interest to the date of prepayment. Such Net Proceeds, to the
-36-
extent remaining after payment of any delinquent Lease Payments, will be credited
towards the City's obligations under this Section and applied to the prepayment of the
Lease Payments on the next available prepayment date. The City shall give written
notice to the Bank of its intention to prepay the Lease Payments under this Section not
less than 30 days prior to the prepayment date.

This SITE LEASE (this "Site Lease"), dated for convenience as of March 1, 2016,
is between the CITY OF PETALUMA, a charter city duly organized and existing under the

laws of the State of California, as lessee (the "Authority").
BACKGROUND:
1. In order to provide financing and refinancing certain capital improvements
of the City of Petaluma (the "City"), including but not limited to certain improvements to
the Petaluma Municipal Airport and certain street improvements, the City has previously
caused the execution and delivery of the City of Petaluma 2003 Certificates of
Participation (Refunding Certificates and Airports Project) in the initial aggregate original
principal amount of $6,295,000 (the "2003 Certificates"), which are secured by lease
payments made by the City under a Lease Agreement dated as of December 1, 2003
(the "2003 Lease"), between the City of Petaluma Public Financing Corporation, as
lessor, and the City, as lessee.
2. The 2003 Certificates are currently subject to prepayment, at the option of
the City, on any date at a prepayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount
thereof together with accrued interest thereon to the redemption date, without premium,
and in order to realize debt service savings the City have determined to refinance the
2003 Certificates.
3. In order to finance certain capital improvements to the Petaluma Municipal
Airport, the City has heretofore borrowed $1,400,000 from the Department of
Transportation of the State of California ("CalTrans") pursuant to a California Airport
Loan Agreement (the "CalTrans Loan Agreement") dated February 16, 2005, between
CalTrans and the City.
4. The loan made pursuant to the CalTrans Loan Agreement (the "2005
CalTrans Loan") is subject to prepayment, and in order to realize debt service savings
the City has determined to refinance the 2005 CalTrans Loan.
5. In order to refinance the 2003 Certificates and the 2005 CalTrans Loan, the
City has leased the real property, consisting generally of the land and improvements
which constitute certain airport hangers at the City's municipal airport, as more
particularly described in Appendix A attached hereto and by this reference incorporated
herein (the "Leased Property"), to the Authority under a Site Lease dated as of March 1,
2016, which has been recorded concurrently herewith (the "Site Lease"), in
consideration of the payment by the Authority of an upfront rental payment (the "Site
Lease Payment") which is sufficient to provide funds for the prepayment of the 2003
Certificates and the 2005 CalTrans Loan.
6. In order to provide revenues which are sufficient to enable the Authority to
pay the Site Lease Payment, the Authority has agreed to lease the Leased Property
back to the City under that certain Lease Agreement dated as of March 1, 2016 which
has been recorded concurrently herewith (the "Lease") under which the City has agreed
to pay semiannual Lease Payments as the rental for the Leased Property.
7. Funds required to pay the Site Lease Payment to the City will be provided by
Compass Mortgage Corporation (the "Bank"), which will be secured by an assignment of
substantially all of the Authority's rights hereunder and under the Site Lease, including
the right to receive Lease Payments, under an Assignment Agreement dated as of
March 1, 2016, between the Authority as assignor and the Bank as assignee, which has
been recorded concurrently herewith.
8. The City and the Authority have found and determined that all acts and
proceedings required by law necessary to make this Site Lease, when executed by the
City and the Authority, the valid, binding and legal obligations of the City and the
Authority, and to constitute this Site Lease a valid and binding agreement for the uses
and purposes herein set forth in accordance with its terms, have been done and taken,
and the execution and delivery of this Site Lease have been in all respects duly
authorized.
10. Section 46 of the Petaluma Charter (the "Charter") provides that certain
specified City actions, including actions to lease property, shall be done by ordinance,
except where the Council takes action pursuant to general state law.
11. Section 37380 of the California Government Code authorizes cities to lease
city owned and controlled property, and the Marks -Roos Local Bond Pooling Act of 1985
(the Bond Act), California Government Code Section 6584 and following, authorizes the
creation of financing authorities pursuant to Bond Act and the Joint Exercise of Powers
Law (the Joint Exercise Law), Government Code Section 6500 and following, to assist in
the financing of local agency capital improvement projects.
12. The City of Petaluma adopted Resolution No. 96-131 on May 20th, 1996, to
create the Petaluma Public Financing Authority (the Authority) pursuant to the Bond Act
and the Joint Exercise Law, and as created, the powers of the Authority pursuant to the
Bond Act include the power to lease land and structures as necessary or convenient for
WA
the financing of public capital improvements, in accordance with subdivision (h) of
Section 6588 of the Bond Act.
13. As actions taken pursuant to the Bond Act and other general state law,

obligations as proposed are in accordance with Section 46 of the Charter.;

merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any bank, corporation or
association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Escrow
Agent shall be a party, or any bank, corporation or association succeeding to all or
substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Escrow Agent shall be the
successor of the Escrow Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper
with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto except on
the part of any of the parties hereto where an instrument of transfer or assignment is
required by law to effect such succession, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.

3. The Purchaser has conducted its own independent investigation of the financial
condition of the City, the purpose for which the Lease is being executed and delivered, and the

adopted by the City Council of the City on March 7, 2016, and has obtained such information
regarding the Lease, the City and its operations, financial condition and financial prospects as
the Purchaser deems necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the
