On or about July 1 of each year, but in any event in sufficient time to include the levy of the special
taxes on the County's secured tax roll, the City Finance Director, or his designee, shall determine
whether or not each Parcel within the District is Taxable Property, and whether such Parcel is
designated as Zone A or Zone B. Parcels subject to levy shall be determined based upon the records
of the County Assessor as of the January 1 preceding such July 1.
The City Finance Director, or his designee, shall then determine the Special Tax Liability for the
Fiscal Year commencing such July 1, and then shall allocate such liability among the Parcels and levy
on each Parcel, as follows:
Step 1: Determine the total Land Area of each respective Parcel and for all Parcels in the District.
Step 2: Multiply the total Land Area for each respective Parcel by the appropriate maximum special
tax for that Zone.
Step 3: If the aggregate amount to be levied based on Step 2 above is greater than the aggregate
Special Tax Liability for such Fiscal Year, reduce the special tax for each Parcel
proportionately, so that the aggregate special tax levy for such Fiscal Year for all Parcels
within the District is equal to the aggregate Special Tax Liability for such Fiscal Year.
Under no circumstances will the special taxes levied against any Parcel used as a private residence be
increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other Parcel or Parcels
within the District by more than ten (10) percent, pursuant to California Government Code Section
53321(d), as in effect on the date of formation of the District.

taxes on the County's secured tax roll, the City Finance Director, or his designee, shall determine
which Parcels in Zone A and Zone B are classified as Developed. For those Parceirtlassified as
Developed, the special tax shall be reallocated among all Parcels having the same ownership, such
that the aggregate tax levy for such Parcels equals the annual tax rate calculated above for such
Parcels, as follows:
Step a: Determine the total Building Floor Area for each respective Parcel and for all Parcels with
the same ownership.
Step b: Calculate the annual building

the same ownership.

divided by the total Building Floor Area for all Parcels with
&\moorpark \1997- 1\r &ma2.doc B 2 -3rd Draft - February 11. 1997
Step c: Allocate the remaining twenty percent (20 %) of the Special Tax Liability for all Parcels with
the same ownership by acreage (said amount to be allocated pro rata for any portion of an
acre) of' Land Area within such Parcels.
Step d: Calculate the sum of the building special tax allocation and the land special tax allocation for
each Developed Parcel with the same ownership, such that the sum shall equal the annual
special tax levy for such Parcels.
PREPAYMENTS
The special taxes may be prepaid and permanently satisfied for any Parcel subject to the levy of
the special taxes, when (i) the assessed value of all remaining Parcels in the District equal or exceed
the ratio of three and one - half - to-one (3.5 to 1) of all remaining Bonds outstanding following such
prepayment, or when (ii) all Parcels of Taxable Property will be prepaid and permanently satisfied.
An owner of a Parcel of Taxable Property who desires to prepay and permanently satisfy the special
tax obligation for a Parcel shall notify the City Finance Director in writing of his or her intention. The
City Finance Director, or his designee, shall calculate and determine the prepayment amount, the value
of all remaining Parcels, and such determination shall be final and conclusive. The prepayment
amount for a particular Parcel shall be calculated as follows:
1. The prepayment amount is computed by dividing the Land Area for such Parcel by the
total land area for all Parcels within the District, and multiplying the results by the principal amount of
any outstanding Bonds.
2. The prepayment amount calculated in (1) above for a particular Parcel will be (a)
increased in the amount of (i) applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Bonds to be redeemed
with such prepayment; (ii) an amount determined by the City Finance Director or his designee to offset
any difference between the amount needed to pay debt service on the Bonds and the amount derived
from the reinvestment of the prepaid special tax pending the redemption of such Bonds; and (iii) an
amount determined by the City Finance Director or his designee to pay for the applicable
Administrative Expenses to provide such prepayment; and (b) decreased in the amount of (i) any
special taxes heretofore paid in respect of said Parcel, then held by the Fiscal Agent and available for
payment on the Bonds, and (ii) any reduction in the amount on deposit in the reserve fund for the
Bonds due to the redemption of the Bonds with the proceeds of such prepayment. - '
The Parcel with respect to which prepayment is made must not be delinquent in any payment of
special taxes previously levied within the District. Prepayment shall not relieve any property owner
from paying those special taxes which have already become due and payable, and a Notice of
Cessation of Special Tax Lien shall not be recorded against any Parcel pursuant to California
Government Code Section 53344, until all special taxes with respect to that Parcel have been paid.
