WHEREAS, under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, constituting
Section 53311 et seq. of the California Government Code (the "LAW'), this Board of Directors

of a community facilities district under the Law to be known as the Temecula Public Financing
Authority Community Facilities District No. 03-06 (Harveston II) (the ~District"); and
WHEREAS, under the Law, this Board of Directors is the legislative body for the
proposed District and is empowered with the authority to establish the District and levy special
taxes within the District; and
WHEREAS, this Board of Directors now desires to proceed with the actions necessary
to consider the establishment of the District, and to approve an amendment to an Indenture of
Trust for outstanding Authority bonds to allow for the issuance of bonds for the District.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the Temecula
Public Financing Authority as follows:
Section 1. This Board of Directors proposes to begin the proceedings necessary to
establish the District pursuant to the Law. Receipt of the Petition to form the District is hereby
acknowledged.
Section 2. The name proposed for the District is Temecula Public Financing Authority
Community Facilities District No. 03-06 (Harveston Ii).

funding by the District and pursuant to the Law shall consist of those items listed on Exhibit A
hereto under the heading "Facilities," which Exhibit is by this reference incorporated herein.

R:/TPFA Resos 2003/TPFA Resos 03-20 I
Section 5. Except to the extent that funds are otherwise available to the District to pay
for the Facilities and/or pay the principal and interest as it becomes due on bonds of the District
issued to finance the Facilities, a special tax sufficient to pay the costs thereof, secured by
recordation of a continuing lien against all non-exempt real property in the District, will be levied
within the District and collected in the same manner as ordinary ad valorem property taxes or in
such other manner as this Board of Directors or its designee shall determine, including direct
billing of the affected property owners. The proposed rate and method of apportionment of the
special tax among the parcels of real property within the District, in sufficient detail to allow each
landowner within the proposed District to estimate the maximum amount such owner will have
to pay, and which specifies the tax year after which no further special tax will be levied on land
used for private residential purposes and which otherwise complies with applicable provisions of
the Act is described in Exhibit B attached hereto which Exhibit is by this reference incorporated
herein.
This Board of Directors finds that the provisions of Section 53313.6, 53313.7 and 53313.9 of the
California Government Code (relating to adjustments to ad valorem property taxes and schools
financed by a community facilities district) are inapplicable to the District.
Section 6. It is the intention of this Board of Directors, acting as the legislative body for
the District, to cause bonds of the Authority to be issued for the District pursuant to the Law to
finance the costs of the Facilities. If so issued, the bonds shall be in the aggregate principal
amount of not to exceed $5,500,000, shall bear interest payable semi-annually or in such other
manner as this Board of Directors shall determine, at a rate not to exceed the maximum rate of
interest as may be authorized by applicable law at the time of sale of such bonds, and shall
mature not to exceed 40 years from the date of the issuance thereof.
Section 7. This Board of Directors reserves to itself the right and authority to allow any
interested owner of property in the District, subject to the provisions of Section 53344.1 of the
California Government Code and such requirements as it may otherwise impose, and any
applicable prepayment penalties as prescribed in the indenture or fiscal agent agreement for
any bonds of the Authority for the District, to tender to the Treasurer of the Authority in full
payment or part payment of any installment of special taxes or the interest or penalties thereon
which may be due or delinquent, but for which a bill has been received, any bond or other
obligation secured thereby, in the manner described in Section 53344.1 of the California
Government Code.
Section 8. The levy of said proposed special tax shall be subject to the approval of the
qualified electors of the District at a special election. The proposed voting procedure shall be by
mailed or hand-delivered ballot among the landowners in the proposed District, with each owner
having one vote for each acre or portion of an acre of land such owner owns in the District.
Section 9. Except as may otherwise be provided by law or the rate and method of
apportionment of the special tax for the District, all lands owned by any public entity, including
the United States, the State of California and/or the City of Temecula, or any departments or
political subdivisions of any thereof, shall be omitted from the levy of the special tax to be made
to cover the costs and expenses of the Facilities, the issuance of bonds by the Authority for the
District and any expenses of the District.
Section 10. The Director of Public Works of the City of Temecula is hereby directed to
study the Facilities and to make, or cause to be made, and file with the Secretary a report in
writing, presenting the following:
R:/TPFA Resos 2003/TPFA 03-20 2
(a) A brief description of the Facilities.
(b) An estimate of the fair and reasonable cost of providing the Facilities,
including the incidental expenses in connection therewith, including the costs of the
proposed bond financing, any Authority or City of Temecula administrative costs and all
other related costs.
Said report shall be made a part of the record of the public hearing provided for below.
Section 11. Tuesday, November 25, 2003, at 7:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the
matter may be heard, in the regular meeting place of this Board of Directors, City Council
Chambers, Temecula City Hall, 43200 Business Park Drive, Temecula, California, be, and the
same are hereby appointed and fixed as the time and place when and where this Board of
Directors, as legislative body for the District, will conduct a public hearing on the establishment
of the District and consider and finally determine whether the public interest, convenience and
necessity require the formation of the District and the levy of said special tax.
Section 12. The Secretary is hereby directed to cause notice of said public hearing to
be given by publication one time in a newspaper published in the area of the District. The
publication of said notice shall be completed at least seven days before the date herein set for
said hearing. Said notice shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto.

of a community facilities district and issuance of community facilities district special tax bonds
involving the Authority and the District, in accordance with Section 15061(b) of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines is not a "Project," as defined in Section 15378 of
the CEQA Guidelines, and is therefore exempt from the requirements of CEQA. Pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061(d) and 15062, the Secretary is hereby directed to cause a
Notice of Exemption to be prepared, executed and filed in regard to the foregoing determination.
Section 14. The First Supplemental Indenture of Trust (the "Supplement"), in the form
on file with the Secretary, is hereby approved. The Executive Director is hereby authorized and
directed to execute and deliver the Supplement in such form, together with such changes
thereto as shall be approved by the Executive Director following consultation with Bond
Counsel, the approval of such changes to be conclusively evidenced by the execution of the
Supplement by the Executive Director.
Section 15. This Board of Directors hereby determines that public convenience and
necessity require that territory be added to the District in the future, and that this Resolution
shall constitute a resolution of intention to annex territory to the District pursuant to Sections
53339.2 and 53339.3 of the Law. The name for the District is Temecula Public Financing
Authority Community Facilities District No. 03-06 (Harveston II). The territory proposed for
annexation to the District in the future is as indicated as such on the map of the District
described in Section 3 above (the "Annexation Area"); provided that such territory may be
annexed to the District only with the unanimous approval of the owner or owners of each parcel
or the parcels to be annexed at the time that parcel or those parcels are so annexed. The types
of facilities to be provided in the District and in the Annexation Area are the "Facilities"
referenced in Section 4 above, and such Facilities shall be shared equally by all parcels to be
included in the District and in the Annexation Area. The special taxes which will be levied in the
Annexation Area shall be the same as those described in Section 5 above, and there shall be
no alteration in the special tax rate levied in the District as a result of the proposed annexation
R:/'rPFA Resos 2003/'rPFA 03-20 3
except as may occur by operation of the Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax in
Exhibit B solely as a result of additional territory being included within the District. The hearing
regarding the proposed annexation described in this Section 15 and required by Section
53339.3(0 of the Law shall be combined with the hearing described in Section 11 above, and
the notice described in Section 12 above shall constitute the notice required by Section 53339.4

Property at up to 100% of the applicable Assigned Special Tax as needed to satisfy the Special

Second: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first
step has been completed, the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each Assessor's
Parcel of Undeveloped Property at up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax as needed to
satisfy the Special Tax Requirement;
Third: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first two
steps have been completed, then the levy of Special Tax on each Assessor's Parcel of
Developed Property whose Maximum Special Tax is determined through the application of the
Backup Special Tax shall be increased in equal percentages from the Assigned Special Tax up
to the Maximum Special Tax for each such Assessor's Parcel;
Fourth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first
three steps have been completed, then the Special Tax shall be levied Proportionately on each
Assessor's Parcel of Taxable Property Owner Association Property up to the Maximum Special
Tax for Taxable Property Owner Association Property; and
Fifth: If additional monies are needed to satisfy the Special Tax Requirement after the first four

Property.
Notwithstanding the above, under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied against any

exempt status to Assessor's Parcels in the chronological order in which such Parcels are known
to the CFD Administrator to become Property Owner Association Property, Public Property or
Service Commercial Property. Once an Assessor's Parcel of Public Property has been
classified as exempt, its tax-exempt status will be permanent, independent of its future uses.
Property Owner Association Property or Public Property that is not exempt from Special Tax
levies under this section shall be subject to the levy of Special Tax and shall be taxed
Proportionately as part of the fourth and fifth steps, respectively, in Section D above, at up to
100% of the applicable Maximum Special Tax for Taxable Property Owner Association Property
or Taxable Public Property.
All Assessor's Parcels that have fully prepaid their Special Tax lien pursuant to Section I are
exempt from future Special Tax levies.
G. REVIEW AND APPEAL
Any taxpayer may file a written appeal of the Special Tax levied on his/her property with the
CFD Administrator, provided that the appellant is current in his/her payments of Special Taxes.
During the pendency of an appeal, all Special Taxes previously levied must be paid on or before
the payment date established when the levy was made. The appeal must specify the reasons
why the appellant claims the Special Tax is in error. The CFD Administrator shall review the
appeal, meet with the appellant if the CFD Administrator deems necessary, and advise the
appellant of its determination. If the CFD Administrator agrees with the appellant, the CFD
Administrator shall grant a credit to eliminate or reduce future Special Taxes on the appellant's
property. No refunds of previously paid Special Taxes shall be made.
H. MANNER OF COLLECTION
The Special Tax as levied pursuant to Section D above shall be collected in the same manner
and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes; previded, however, that the CFD
Administretor may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect Special Taxes at a different time or in
a different manner if necessary to meet the financial obligations of CFD No. 03-06 or as
otherwise determined appropriate by the CFD Administrator.
I. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The following definition applies to Section I.
"Outstanding Prepayment Bonds" means, as of any date, all Bonds previously issued that are
anticipated by the CFD Administrator to be outstanding under the applicable Indenture
immediately after the first principal payment date for such Bonds following the then current
Fiscal Year.
1. Prepayment in Full
The Special Tax obligation described in Section D above with respect to any Assessor's
Parcel of Developed Property or Update Property may be fully prepaid. In addition, the Special
Tax obligation of any Assessor's Parcel of Taxable Public Property and/or Taxable Property
Owner Association Property may be prepaid. A prepayment may be made on an Assessor's
Parcel only if there are no delinquent Special Tax levies with respect to such Assessor's Parcel
at the time of prepayment. An owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Special
Tax obligation shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay. Within
30 days of receipt of such written notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the
prepayment amount of such Assessor's Parcel. The CFD Administrator may charge the
Assessor's Parcel owner a reasonable fee for providing these figures, which must be paid by
the owner of the Assessor's Parcel prior to the calculation of the prepayment amount.
Prepayment must be made not less than 15 days prior to the next occurring date that notice of
redemption of Bonds from the proceeds of such prepayment may be given to the Trustee
pursuant to the Indenture.
The Prepayment Amount (defined below) for any Assessor's Parcel of Taxable Public
Property may be determined by the CFD Administrator as authorized under Sections 53317.3
and 53317.5 of the Act. However, no Special Tax prepayment for any Assessor's Parcel of
Taxable Public Property shall be allowed unless the amount of Assigned Special Tax levies that
may be imposed on Taxable Property within CFD No. 03-06 after the proposed prepayment is at
least 1.1 times the maximum annual debt service on all Outstanding Bonds.
The Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as summarized below
(capitalized terms as defined below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
Total: equals Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as
follows:
ParaRraph No.:
1. Confirm that no Special Tax delinquencies apply to such Assessor's Parcel.
For Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property, compute the Assigned Special Tax and
Backup Special Tax applicable for the Assessor's Parcel to be prepaid. For Assessor's
Parcels of Undeveloped Property which ara also classified as Update Property, compute
the Assigned Special Tax and Backup Special Tax for that Assessor's Parcel as though
it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the building permit which
has already been issued for that Assessor's Parcel.
(a) Divide the Assigned Special Tax or Maximum Special Tax computed pursuant to
paragraph 2 by the estimated Assigned Special Tax levies for all of CFD No. 03-06
based on the Developed Property Special Tax levies which could be imposed in the
current Fiscal Year on all expected development in CFD No. 03-06, excluding any
Assessor's Parcels which have been prepaid; and
(b) Divide the Backup Special Tax computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the estimated
Backup Special Tax levies at buildout for all of CFD No. 03-06 using the Backup Special
Tax amounts for the current Fiscal Year, excluding any Assessor's Parcels which have
been prepaid.
11.
12.
13.
Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to paragraph 3(a) or 3(b) by the
Outstanding Prepayment Bonds, and (if determined necessary by the CFD Administrator
to effect the redemption of Bonds with such prepayment) round up to the nearest integral
multiple of $5,000 to compute the amount of Outstanding Prepayment Bonds to be
retired and prepaid (the "Bond Redemption Amount").
Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to paragraph 4 by the
applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Prepayment Bonds to be
redeemed (the "Redemption Premium").
Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from the
first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year until
the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Prepayment Bonds.
Determine the amount of the Special Tax levied on the Assessor's Parcel in the currant
Fiscal Year which, has not yet been paid.
Compute the minimum amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive from
the rainvestment of the Prepayment Amount less the Administrative Fees and Expenses
from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Prepayment
Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment.
Add the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 6 and 7 and subtract the amount
computed pursuant to paragraph 8 (the "Defeasance Amount").
Verify the administrative fees and expenses of CFD No. 03-06, including the costs of
computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the costs
of redeeming Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment
and the redemption (the "Administrative Fees and Expenses").
If bond reserve funds for the Outstanding Prepayment Bonds, if any, are anticipated to
be at or above 100% of the bond reserve requirement (as specified in the Indenture)
immediately after the first principal payment date in the next Fiscal Year, the reserve
fund credit shall equal the expected reduction in the bond reserve requirement, if any,
associated with the redemption of Outstanding Prepayment Bonds as a result of the
prepayment (the "Reserve Fund Credit"). No Reserve Fund Credit shall be granted if
bond reserve funds ara anticipated to be below 100% of the bond reserve requirement
immediately after the first principal payment date in the next Fiscal Year.
The Special Tax prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to
paragraphs 4, 5, 9 and 10, less the amounts computed pursuant to paragraph 11 (the
"Prepayment Amount").
From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 4, 5, and
9 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the Indenture and be
used to retira Outstanding Prepayment Bonds or make debt service payments, The
amount computed pursuant to paragraph 10 shall be retained by CFD No. 03-06.
The Prepayment Amount may be insufficient to redeem an integral multiple of $5,000 of Bonds.
In such cases, the increment above $5,000 or integral multiple thereof will be retained in the
appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next prepayment of Bonds.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax levy as determined under
paragraph 7 (above), the CFD Administrator shall remove the Special Tax from the current
Fiscal Year's levy for such Assessor's Parcel from the County tax rolls. With respect to any
Assessor's Parcel that is prepaid, the Board of Directors shall cause a suitable notice to be
recorded in compliance with the Act, to indicate the prepayment of Special Tax and the release
of the Special Tax lien on such Assessor's Parcel, and the obligation of such Assessor's Parcel
to pay the Special Tax shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax prepayment shall be allowed unless the amount
of Maximum Special Taxes that may be levied on Taxable Property within CFD No. 03-06 after
the proposed prepayment is at least 1.1 times the maximum annual debt service on all
Outstanding Bonds folowing the proposed prepayment.
2. Prepayment in Part
The Maximum Special Tax on an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property or Update
Property may also be partially prepaid. The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in
Section 1.1; except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated according to the following
formula (provided that the partial prepayment must in any event be sufficient to, in addition to
payment of all other components of the Prepayment Amount, redeem Bonds in increments of
$5,000):
PP = ((PE - A) x F) + A
These terms have the following meaning:
pp =
PE =
F =
the partial prepayment
the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section i. 1
the percent by which the owner of the Assessor's Parcel(s) is partially
prepaying the Maximum Special Tax.
the Administrative Fees and Expenses calculated according to Section I. 1
The owner of an Assessor's Parcel who desires to partially prepay the Maximum Special
Tax shall notify the CFD Administrator of (i) such owner's intent to partially prepay the Maximum
Special Tax, (ii) the percentage by which the Maximum Special Tax shall be prepaid, and (iii)
the company or agency that will be acting as the escrow agent, if applicable. The CFD
Administrator shall provide the owner with a statement of the amount required for the partial
prepayment of the Maximum Special Tax for an Assessor's Parcel within 30 days of the request
and may charge a reasonable fee for providing this service. Such fee must be paid prior to the
calculation of the Prepayment Amount.
With respect to any Assessor's Parcel that is partially prepaid, the CFD Administrator
shall (i) distribute the funds remitted to it according to Paragraph 13 of Section 1.1. and (ii)
indicate in the records of CFD No. 03-06 that there has been a partial prepayment of the
Maximum Special Tax and that a portion of the Maximum Special Tax equal to the outstanding
percentage (1.00 - F) of the remaining Maximum Special Tax shall continue to be authorized to
be levied on such Assessor's Parcel pursuant to Section D.
J. TERM OF SPECIAL TAX
The Special Tax shall be levied for a period not to exceed 50 Fiscal Years, commencing with
Fiscal Year 2004-2005.

TEMECULA PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY
COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 03-06
(HARVESTON II)
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Notice is hereby given that on October 22, 2003, the Board of Directors of the Temecula Public
Financing Authority adopted a Resolution entitled "A Resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Temecula Public Financing Authority Declaring Its Intention To Establish A Community Facilities
District And To Authorize The Levy Of Special Taxes Therein - Harveston Il." Pursuant to the
Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, the Board of Directors of the Authority hereby
gives notice as follows:
A. The text of said Resolution of Intention is as follows:
WHEREAS, under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, constituting
Section 53311 et seq. of the California Government Code (the "Law"), this Board of
Directors may commence proceedings for the establishment of a community facilities
district; and
WHEREAS, there have been submitted to this Board of Directors a Petition
(Including Waiver) of Harveston, LLC (the "Petition"), requesting the formation by this
Board of Directors of a community facilities district under the Law to be known as the
Temecula Public Financing Authority Community Facilities District No. 03-06 (Harveston
II) (the "District"); and
WHEREAS, under the Law, this Board of Directors is the legislative body for the
proposed District and is empowered with the authority to establish the District and levy
special taxes within the District; and
WHEREAS, this Board of Directors now desires to proceed with the actions
necessary to consider the establishment of the District, and to approve an amendment to
an Indenture of Trust for outstanding Authority bonds to allow for the issuance of bonds
for the District.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the
Temecula Public Financing Authority as follows:
Section 1. This Board of Directors proposes to begin the proceedings necessary
to establish the District pursuant to the Law. Receipt of the Petition to form the District is
hereby acknowledged.
Section 2. The name proposed for the District is Temecula Public Financing
Authority Community Facilities District No. 03-06 (Harveston II).
Section 3. The proposed boundaries of the Distdct are as shown on the map of
the District on file with the Secretary, which boundaries are hereby preliminarily
approved. The Secretary is hereby directed to record, or cause to be recorded, the map
of the boundaries of the District in the office of the County Recorder as soon as
practicable after the adoption of this Resolution.
Section 4. The type of public facilities (the "Facilities") proposed to be eligible for
funding by the District and pursuant to the Law shall consist of those items listed on
Exhibit A hereto under the heading "Facilities," which Exhibit is by this reference
incorporated herein.
The Executive Director is hereby authorized and directed to enter into a joint
community facilities agreement with the City of Temecula and any other public entity that
will own and/or operate any of the Facilities, such agreements to be in a form provided
by Bond Counsel.
Section 5. Except to the extent that funds are otherwise available to the District
to pay for the Facilities and/or pay the principal and interest as it becomes due on bonds
of the District issued to finance the Facilities, a special tax sufficient to pay the costs
thereof, secured by recordation of a continuing lien against all non-exempt real property
in the District, will be levied within the District and collected in the same manner as
ordinary ad valorem property taxes or in such other manner as this Board of Directors or
its designee shall determine, including direct billing of the affected property owners. The
proposed rate and method of apportionment of the special tax among the parcels of real
property within the District, in sufficient detail to allow each landowner within the
proposed District to estimate the maximum amount such owner will have to pay, and
which specifies the tax year after which no further special tax will be levied on land used
for private residential purposes and which otherwise complies with applicable provisions
of the Act is described in Exhibit B attached hereto which Exhibit is by this reference
incorporated herein.

53313.9 of the California Government Code (relating to adjustments to ad valorem
property taxes and schools financed by a community facilities district) are inapplicable to
the District.
Section 6. It is the intention of this Board of Directors, acting as the legislative
body for the District, to cause bonds of the Authority to be issued for the District pursuant
to the Law to finance the costs of the Facilities. If so issued, the bonds shall be in the
aggregate principal amount of not to exceed $5,500,000, shall bear interest payable
semi-annually or in such other manner as this Board of Directors shall determine, at a
rate not to exceed the maximum rate of interest as may be authorized by applicable law
at the time of sale of such bonds, and shall mature not to exceed 40 years from the date
of the issuance thereof.
Section 7. This Board of Directors reserves to itself the right and authority to
allow any interested owner of property in the District, subject to the provisions of Section
53344.1 of the California Government Code and such requirements as it may otherwise
impose, and any applicable prepayment penalties as prescribed in the indenture or fiscal
agent agreement for any bonds of the Authority for the District, to tender to the Treasurer
of the Authority in full payment or part payment of any installment of special taxes or the
interest or penalties thereon which may be due or delinquent, but for which a bill has
been received, any bond or other obligation secured thereby, in the manner described in
Section 53344.1 of the California Government Code.
Section 8. The levy of said proposed special tax shall be subject to the approval
of the qualified electors of the District at a special election. The proposed voting
procedure shall be by mailed or hand-delivered ballot among the landowners in the
proposed District, with each owner having one vote for each acre or portion of an acre of
land such owner owns in the District.
Section 9. Except as may otherwise be provided by law or the rate and method
of apportionment of the special tax for the District, all lands owned by any public entity,
including the United States, the State of California and/or the City of Temecula, or any
departments or political subdivisions of any thereof, shall be omitted from the levy of the
special tax to be made to cover the costs and expenses of the Facilities, the issuance of
bonds by the Authority for the District and any expenses of the District.
