EXHIBIT A
GOOD FAITH ESTIMATES
The good faith estimates set forth herein are provided with respect to the Bonds in
accordance with California Government Code Section 5852.1. Such good faith estimates have
been provided to the Authority by Public Resources Advisory Group, the City’s municipal advisor
(the “Municipal Advisor”).
Principal Amount. The Municipal Advisor has informed the Authority that, based on the
City’s financing plan and current market conditions, its good faith estimate of the aggregate
principal amount of the Bonds to be sold is $19,700,000 (the “Estimated Principal Amount”).
True Interest Cost of the Bonds. The Municipal Advisor has informed the Authority that,
assuming that the Estimated Principal Amount of the Bonds is sold, and based on market interest
rates prevailing at the time of preparation of such estimate, its good faith estimate of the true
interest cost of the Bonds, which means the rate necessary to discount the amounts payable on the
respective principal and interest payment dates to the purchase price received for the Bonds, is
1.15%.
Finance Charge of the Bonds. The Municipal Advisor has informed the Authority that,
assuming that the Estimated Principal Amount of the Bonds is sold, and based on market interest
rates prevailing at the time of preparation of such estimate, its good faith estimate of the finance
charge for the Bonds, which means the sum of all fees and charges paid to third parties (or costs
associated with the Bonds), is $360,000.
Amount of Proceeds to be Received. The Municipal Advisor has informed the Authority
that, assuming that the Estimated Principal Amount of the Bonds is sold, and based on market
interest rates prevailing at the time of preparation of such estimate, its good faith estimate of the
amount of proceeds expected to be received by the Authority for sale of the Bonds, less the finance
charge of the Bonds, as estimated above, and any reserves or capitalized interest paid or funded
with proceeds of the Bonds, is $23,100,000.
Total Payment Amount. The Municipal Advisor has informed the Authority that, assuming
that the Estimated Principal Amount of the Bonds is sold, and based on market interest rates
prevailing at the time of preparation of such estimate, its good faith estimate of the total payment
amount, which means the sum total of all payments the Authority will make to pay debt service
on the Bonds, plus the finance charge for the Bonds, as described above, not paid with the proceeds
of the Bonds, calculated to the final maturity of the Bonds, is $24,600,000, which excludes any
reserves or capitalized interest paid or funded with proceeds of the Bonds (which may offset such
total payment amount).
The foregoing estimates constitute good faith estimates only and are based on market
conditions prevailing at the time of preparation of such estimates. The actual principal amount of
the Bonds issued and sold, the true interest cost thereof, the finance charges thereof, the amount
of proceeds received therefrom and total payment amount with respect thereto may differ from
such good faith estimates due to (a) the actual date of the sale of the Bonds being different than
the date assumed for purposes of such estimates, (b) the actual principal amount of Bonds sold
DocuSign Envelope ID: 31CD2D2B-9EDA-46C5-A881-A20C66203857
8 of 8
being different from the Estimated Principal Amount, (c) the actual amortization of the Bonds
being different than the amortization assumed for purposes of such estimates, (d) the actual market
interest rates at the time of sale of the Bonds being different than those estimated for purposes of
such estimates, (e) other market conditions, or (f) alterations in the City’s financing plan, or a
combination of such factors. The actual date of sale of the Bonds and the actual principal amount
of Bonds sold will be determined by the Authority based on the timing of the need for proceeds of
the Bonds and other factors. The actual interest rates borne by the Bonds will depend on market
interest rates at the time of sale thereof. The actual amortization of the Bonds will also depend, in
part, on market interest rates at the time of sale thereof. Market interest rates are affected by
economic and other factors beyond the control of the Authority.
