vote within the territory of the CFD for each of the 90 days preceding the close of the public
hearings heretofore conducted and concluded by this Council for the purposes of these
proceedings. Accordingly, and pursuant to Section 3-70.37 of the Law, this City Council finds

thereof canvassed at the meeting of this City Council on October 7, 2025. The City Clerk is hereby
designated as the official to conduct the election and to receive all ballots until 7:00 p.m. on the

City Clerk to determine the electors of the CFD. Pursuant to Section 3-70.37(d) of the Law, the
election shall be conducted by messenger or mail-delivered ballot pursuant to Section 4000 of

70.37(a) of the Law shall govern for purposes of determining the date of the election.

ballot measure, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and by this reference

and directed to cause a ballot, in substantially the form of Exhibit A, to be delivered to each of the
qualified electors of the CFD. Each ballot shall indicate the number of votes to be voted by the
respective landowner to which the ballot pertains. Each ballot shall be accompanied by all
supplies and written instructions necessary for the use and return of the ballot.
5. This Council hereby further finds that the provisions of Section 3-70.37(a) of the
Law requiring a minimum of 5 days following the adoption of the Resolution of Formation to elapse
before the special election are for the protection of the qualified electors of the CFD. There is on
file with the City Clerk a written waiver executed by all of the qualified electors of the CFD allowing
for a shortening of the time for the special election to expedite the process of formation of the
CFD and waiving any requirement for notice, analysis and arguments in connection with the
election. Accordingly, this Council finds and determines that the qualified electors have been fully
apprised of and have agreed to the shortened time for the election and waiver of analysis and
arguments, and have thereby been fully protected in these proceedings. This Council also finds
and determines that the City Clerk has concurred in the shortened time for the election. Analysis
and arguments with respect to the ballot measures are hereby waived, as provided in Section 3-
70.38 of the Law.

bond measure"within the meaning of Sections 53410, et seq. of the California Government Code.
As a result, the bond measure shall include the propositions set forth above and the following: (a)
the specific purpose of the bonds shall be as set forth in the propositions; (b) any proceeds
received from the sale of any bonds shall be applied only to the purposes set forth in the
