Intention. The public interest, convenience and necessity require, and that it intends to order the making of the acquisitions and improvements described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof in and for the City's proposed Western Bypass Assessment District No. 95-1 (the "Assessment District").

Section 3. Nature and Location of and Grades of Improvements. All of the work and improvements are to be constructed at the places and in the particular locations, of the forms, sizes, dimensions and materials, and at the lines, grades and elevations, as shown and delineated upon the plans, profiles and specifications to be made therefor, as hereinafter provided. There is to be excepted from the work above described any of such work already done to line and grade and marked excepted or shown not to be done on the plans, profiles and specifications. Whenever any public way is herein referred to as running between two public ways, or from or to any public way, the intersections of the public ways referred to are included to the extent that work is shown on the plans to be done therein. The streets and highways are or will be more particularly shown in the records in the office of the County Recorder of the County and shall be shown upon the plans. Section 4. Change of Grade. Notice is hereby given of the fact that in many cases the work and improvements will bring the finished work to a grade different from that formerly existing, and that to the extent the grades are hereby changed and that the work will be done to the changed grades. Section 5. Work on Private Property. In cases where there is any disparity in level or size between the improvements proposed to be made herein and private property and where it is more economical to eliminate such disparity by work on the private property than by adjustment of the work on public property, it is hereby determined that it is in the public interest and more economical to do such work on private property to eliminate such disparity. In such R¢sos\95-103 I cases, the work on private property shall, with the written consent of the owner of the property, be done and the actual cost thereof may be added to the proposed assessment of the lot on which the work is to be done. Section 6. Official Grades. This Council does hereby adopt and establish as the official grades for the work the grades and elevations to be shown upon the plans profiles and specifications.

All items of work do not necessarily extend for the full length of the description thereof. The plans and profiles of the work and maps and descriptions as contained in the Engineer's Report, hereinafter directed to be made and filed, shall be controlling as to the correct and detailed description thereof. Section 8. Special Benefit and Boundary Map. The contemplated acquisitions and improvements, in the opinion of this Council, are of more than local or ordinary public benefit, and the costs and expenses thereof are made chargeable upon the Assessment District, the exterior boundaries of which are shown on a map thereof on file in the office of the City Clerk, to which reference is hereby made for further particulars. The map indicates by a boundary line the extent of the territory proposed to be included in Assessment District and shall govern for all details as to the extent of the Assessment District. Section 9. Public Property Exempt. This Council declares that all public streets, highways, lanes and alleys within the Assessment District in use in the performance of a public function, and all lands owned by any public entity, including the United States and the State of California, or any departments thereof, shall be omitted from the assessment hereafter to be made to cover the costs and expenses of the acquisitions and improvements. Section 10. Engineer's Report. The acquisitions and improvements are hereby referred to John Eagan, John Eagan & Associates, Inc., being a competent person employed for the purpose hereof as Engineer of Work for this assessment district (the "Engineer of Work"), and the Engineer of Work is hereby directed to make and file with the City Clerk a report in writing (the "Engineefts Report"), presenting the following: (a) Maps and descriptions of the lands and easements to be acquired, if any; (b) Plans and specifications of the proposed improvements if the improvements are not already installed. The plans and specifications do not need to be detailed and are sufficient if they show or describe the general nature, location, and extent of the improvements. If the Assessment District is divided into zones, the plans and specifications shall indicate the class and the type of improvements to be provided for Resos\95-103 2 each zone. The plans or specifications may be prepared as separate documents, or either or both may be incorporated in the Engineer's Report as a combined document. (c) A general description of works or appliances already installed and any other property necessary or convenient for the operation of the improvements, if the works, appliance, or property are to be acquired as part of the improvements. (d) An estimate of the cost of the improvements and of the cost of lands, rights-of- way, easements, and incidental expenses in connection with the improvements, including any cost of issuing and registering bonds. (e) A diagram showing, as they existed at the time of the passage of this Resolution, all of the following: (1) The exterior boundaries of the Assessment District. (2) The boundaries of any zones within the Assessment District. (3) The lines and dimensions of each parcel of land within the Assessment District. Each subdivision, shall be given a separate number upon the diagram. The diagram may refer to the county assessor's maps for a detailed description of the lines and dimensions of any parcels, in which case those maps shall govern for all details concerning the lines and dimensions of the parcels. (f) A proposed assessment of the total amount of the cost and expenses of the proposed improvement upon the several subdivisions of land in the Assessment District in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each subdivision, respectively, from the improvement. The assessment shall refer to the subdivisions by their respective numbers as assigned pursuant to subdivision (e). In the case of an assessment for installation of planned local drainage facilities which are financed, in whole or part, pursuant to Section 66483 of the California Government Code, the assessment levied against each parcel of subdivided land may be levied on the basis of the proportionate storm water runoff from each parcel. When any portion or percentage of the costs and expenses of the acquisitions and improvements is to be paid from sources other than assessments, the amount of such portion or percentage shall first be deducted from the total estimated cost and expenses of the acquisitions and improvements, and the assessment shall include only the remainder of the estimated cost and expenses.

Section 13. Contracts with Others. To the extent that any of the work, rights, improvements and acquisitions indicated in the Engineer's Report, to be made as provided herein, are shown to be connected to the facilities, works or systems of, or are to be owned, managed and controlled by, any public agency other than this City, or of any public utility, it is the intention of this Council to enter into an agreement with such public agency or public utility pursuant to Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 10100) of the Act, which agreement may provide for, among other matters, the ownership, operation and maintenance by such agency or utility of the works, rights, improvements and acquisitions, and may provide for the installation of all or a portion of such improvements by the agency or utility and for the providing of service to the properties in the area benefiting from the work, rights, improvements and acquisitions by such agency or utility in accordance with its rates, rules and regulations, and that such agreement shall become effective after proceedings have been taken for the levy of the assessments and sale of bonds and funds are available to carry out the terms of any such agreement.

It is the intention of this Council to create a Resos\95-103 4 special reserve fund pursuant to and as authorized by Part 16 of the Bond Law. It is the intention of the City that the City will not obligate itself to advance available funds from the treasury of the City to cure any deficiency in the redemption fund to be created with respect to the bonds; provided, however, that the determination not to obligate itself shall not prevent the City from, in its sole discretion, so advancing funds. Section 15. Refunding of Bonds. The bonds may be refunded pursuant to the provisions of Division 11.5 of the California Streets and Highways Code upon the determination of the Council of the City that the public interest or necessity requires such refunding. Such refunding may be undertaken by the Council when, in its opinion, lower prevailing interest rates may allow reduction in the amount of the installments of principal and interest upon the assessments given to owners of property assessed for the works herein described. The refunding bonds shall bear interest at a rate not to exceed that which is stated in the resolution of the Council expressing its intention to issue the refunding bond, which resolution of intention shall also set forth the maximum term of years of the refunding bonds. The refunding shall be accomplished pursuant to Division 11.5 (commencing with Section 9500) of the California Streets and Highways Code, except that, if, following the filing of the report specified in Section 9523 and any subsequent modifications of the report, the Council finds that each of the conditions specified in the resolution of intention to issue the refunding bonds is satisfied and that adjustments to the assessments are on a pro-rata basis, the Council may approve and confirm the report and may, without further proceedings, authorize, issue and sell the refunding bonds pursuant to Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 9600) of Division 11.5 of the California Streets and Highways Code. Section 16. Division 4. Reference is hereby made to proceedings had pursuant to Division 4 of the Streets and Highways Code of California which are on file in the office of the City Clerk.

Section 17. No Private Contract. Notice is hereby given that, in the opinion of this Council, the public interest will not be served by allowing the property owners to take the contract for the construction of the improvements and therefore that, pursuant to Section 20487 of the California Public Contract Code, no notice of award of contract shall be published.
