General Themes – Tax Rate vs. Tax Bill Tax Rate
=
Debt Service Assessed Value
When new bonds are issued,, the amount of Debt Service increases When Debt Service goes up, OR When AV goes down, the Tax Rate Increases However, the actual tax bill for a parcel owner may either go up or down, depending on that property’s AV change Tax Bill = Tax Rate x Property Assessed Value
Debt Service and Tax Rate vs. Tax Bills Example (not real data) Effect of Assessed Value decreasing on tax rate(sample data only): Year 1

Cash Shortfall Status Planned issue of $3.9 billion In K, R, & Y Bonds In FY 09-10 By Spring 2010, state applications for $800 Million will be pending apportionment for new construction projects Currently state is not apportioning, but issuing unfunded approvals 20+ large construction projects remaining to bid Approximately $1.0 B in construction value Average size = $50M Next award anticipated in August 2009 17 between now and June 2010
Funding Strategy – Deferred Payment Plan $800M represents construction contracts for approximately 17 projects

Cash Shortfall Approach / Options Generate $3.9 Billion In K, R, & Y bonds in FY 09-10 Secure $1.1 Billion from State as soon as possible Interim fundingg approach pp options p pending p g state funds: 1.) Use Certificates of Participation (COPs) financing to ensure cash availability, OR 2.) Use 3rd party financing for projects to defer payments until State $ received, OR 3.) Delay project awards until state funds are certain and timing known
Option #1-Deferred Financing Details - COPs COPs issuance backed by future bond issuance 10-year or longer COPs term with ability to pay early Does not count against 2.5% debt limit on G.O. bonds Advantages: Can obtain Board authorization for COPs without issuingg Can issue COPs only AS NEEDED to fund projects If state match cash is received before COPs cash is needed, needed the COPs are never issued and there is no additional financing cost Issue: District capacity to issue COPS
Option # 2 – 3rd Party Financing for Contracts Third-party financing via 17406 Lease-Leaseback 10-year 10 l lease term t with ith pre-paymentt option ti 17406 entity would include financing component Contractor to submit proposal with financing component Security for debt is future bond issuance in 2015 In event state funds are not realized Mostly future Measure R / Y Could need Measure Q if ALL awards with deferred payment In reality, debt will likely be paid off by receipt of state funds
Program Impact of Financing Either financing option comes with financing cost Award contracts in near-term favorable market conditions Financingg cost mayy be mitigated g byy bid savings g in current market If needed, proposed financing cost covered by future bond issuance Measure R or Y cash forecast to be available in 2015 Financed approach maintains school opening schedule and timelyy completion p of program p g
Option #3 – Delay Contract Awards Delay contract awards until state match is certain Could mean 1-2 year (or more) delay in school openings Disadvantages: Cost to children – still on multi-track and Concept 6 calendars l d Likely increase in bid prices due to future escalation Additional cost of program / project management due to extension of program Economic / jobs impact of delaying $1 billion of contracts
Next Steps Targeted rollout of financing program for Sept/Oct RFPs Awards scheduled for December/January Board action on Sept. 22 requesting action to approve financing strategy (COPS) Parallel path / backup plan for third-party financing Industry forum with contractors and financing entities Develop changes to RFPs and 17406 contracts as needed
