The City Council hereby determines that it is in the public interest and more economical to eliminate any disparity in levels or size between such proposed improve- ments and private property on such private property, rather than to adjust the work on public property to eliminate such disparity.

Notice is hereby given that serial bonds to represent unpaid assessments, and bear interest at the rate of not to exceed twelve percent (12%) per annum, payable semi- annually, shall be issued hereunder in the manner provided by Division 10 of the California Streets and Highways Code, and the last installment of bonds shall mature nineteen (19), years from the second day of September next succeeding twelve (12) months after their date. -2- BW522 Sas 0477WLS(3) Resolution No. 86-056/Page 3 of 4 Section 9. The City Council hereby determines that the principal amount of the bonds maturing each year shall be other than an amount equal to an even annual proportion of the aggregate principal of the bonds, and the amount of principal maturing in each year plus the amount of interest payable in that year shall be an aggregate amount that is equal each year, except for the moneys falling due on the first series of the bonds which shall be adjusted to reflect the amount of interest earned from the date when the bonds bear interest to the date when the first interest is payable on the bonds. Section 10. With respect to the procedures for collection of assessments and the advance retirement of bonds in connection with Assessment District No. 85-1, the City proposes to proceed under the provisions of Part 11.1 of Divi- sion 10 of the California Streets and Highways Code. Section 11. The City Council hereby designates the City Treasurer to collect and receive the assessments. Section 12. The City Council hereby determines that the bonds issued to represent unpaid assessments may be refunded under specified conditions by resolution. The City Council hereby declares that such bonds may be refunded upon determination by resolution of the City Council to do so. The City Council may undertake such a refunding upon written recommendation of a financial consultant that it is in the best interests of the City to undertake such a refunding. Such written recommendation shall include the reasons therefor. The maximum interest rate on such refunding bonds shall not exceed twelve percent per annum or such other maximum rate of interest as then may be permitted by law. The maximum number of years to maturity of the refunding bonds shall not exceed thirty-nine years from the second day of September next succeeding ten months from the date of the refunding bonds, or such other maximum number of years to maturity as then may be permitted by law. Any adjustment to assessments resulting from refunding will be done on a pro rata basis. Section 13. Any surplus moneys remaining in the improvement fund after the completion of such proposed improve- ments shall be disposed of in accordance with California Streets and Highways Code Section 10427. Section 14. In the opinion of the City Council, the public interest will not be served by allowing property owners to take a contract to perform the work. Section 15.
