All of the above recitals are true and correct. 2. The Report contains all the matters and things called for by the provisions of the Refunding Law, including (a) a schedule setting forth the unpaid principal and interest on the bonds to be refunded and the total amounts thereof, (b) the total estimated principal amount of the reassessment and of the refunding bonds and the maximum interest rate thereon, together with an estimate of cost of the reassessment and of issuing the refunding bonds, including all costs of issuing the refunding bonds, (c) the auditor's record showing the schedule of principal installments and interest on all unpaid Original Reassessments and the total amounts thereof, (d) the estimated amount of each reassessment, identified by reassessment number corresponding to the reassessment number on the reassessment diagram, together with a proposed auditor's record 32130\00010\75926.2 PAGE 1 OF RESOLUTION NO. 1 88-97 for the reassessment, and (e) a reassessment diagram showing the reassessment district and the boundaries and dimensions of the subdivisions of land within the district, all of which has been done in the form and manner required by the Refunding Law. 3. The Report and each and every part thereof is sufficient in every particular and should stand as the Report for all subsequent proceedings under the Refunding Law and the Resolution of Intention. 4. The conditions of Section 9525 of the Refunding Law have been satisfied in that: (a) Each estimated annual installment of principal and interest on the reassessment is less than the corresponding annual installment of principal and interest on the portion of the Original Reassessment being superseded and supplanted by the same percentage for all subdivisions of land within the district. (b) The number of years to maturity of all refunding bonds is not more than the number of years to the last maturity of the bonds being refunded. (c) The principal amount of the reassessment on each subdivision of land within the district is less than the unpaid principal amount of the portion of the Original Reassessment being superseded and supplanted by the same percentage for each subdivision of land within the district. 5. The Council has acquired jurisdiction to finally determine whether the public interest or necessity require the reassessment and refunding, and to approve and confirm the Report and the reassessment as originally made, or as reviewed and corrected. 6. The Report, including any revisions and corrections thereto heretofore ordered by the Council, should be, and it is hereby, approved and confirmed. Said Report, including any such revisions and corrections, shall stand as the Report for the purposes of all subsequent proceedings to be had pursuant to the Resolution of Intention. 7. The reassessment, including any revisions and corrections thereto heretofore ordered by the Council, is hereby approved and confirmed. In the event the refunding bonds are issued in a principal amount less than the amount of the confirmed reassessment, then the reassessment shall be reduced to an amount equal to the principal amount of the refunding bonds. 8. The public interest or necessity requires the reassessment and refunding. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: 1. The Council shall proceed to authorize, issue and sell refunding bonds pursuant to Chapter 3 of the Refunding Law. 2. The reassessment on each subdivision of land within the district shall supersede and supplant the Original Reassessment thereon. However, since the reassessments do not include 32130\00010\75926.2 PAGE 2 OF RESOLUTION NO. 1 88-97 unpaid installments of assessments originally levied and the penalties and interest thereon, the lien of the reassessment shall supersede and supplement the lien of the Original Reassessment except that the lien of the Original Reassessment shall also continue as security for the collection of any unpaid installments of assessments originally levied and the penalties and interest thereon. The lien of the reassessment and the lien of the unpaid installments of the assessment originally levied and the penalties and interest thereon shall have equal priority as of the date the Original Reassessment became a lien upon the property assessed. 3. It is intended hereby that the Outstanding Bonds and the Original Reassessments shall remain in full force and effect and be secured by the Original Reassessment liens until superseded and supplanted by the reassessments and refunding bonds validly and legally issued pursuant to the Refunding Law, at which time the reassessments and the lien thereof shall become the security for the refunding bonds and the refunding escrow shall become the security for the Outstanding Bonds. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, for any reason, the refunding bonds are not validly and legally issued, it is intended that the Outstanding Bonds and the Original Reassessments shall remain in full force and effect and remain secured by the Original Reassessment liens. 4. The Clerk shall enter this resolution upon the minutes of the Council. 5. The Clerk shall forthwith deliver to the Superintendent of Streets the reassessment, together with the reassessment diagram thereto attached and made a part thereof, as confirmed by this Council, with his or her certificate of such confirmation thereto attached and of the date thereof, and the Superintendent of Streets shall forthwith record the reassessment and reassessment diagram in his or her office in a suitable book to be kept for that purpose, and append thereto his or her certificate of the date of such recording, and such recordation shall be and constitute the reassessment roll herein. 6. The Clerk shall also cause a copy of the reassessment diagram to be filed in the office of the County Recorder of the County of Contra Costa, and shall execute and record a notice of reassessment in the office of such County Recorder, such notice to be in substantially the form provided in Section 3 1 14 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California. From the date of such recording all persons shall be deemed to have notice of the contents of the reassessment, and each of such reassessments shall thereupon be a lien upon the property against which it is made, and unless sooner discharged such liens shall so continue for the period of ten (10) years from the date of said recordation, or, if bonds are issued to represent the reassessments, then such liens shall continue until the expiration of four (4) years after the due date of the last installment on the refunding bonds. The appropriate officer or officers are hereby authorized to pay any and all fees required by law in connection with the above. 7. The Clerk shall also, upon the recording of the reassessment and reassessment diagram in the office of the Superintendent of Streets, file a certified copy of this Resolution in the office of the County Auditor of the County of Contra Costa, who shall keep a record in that 32130\00010\75926.2 PAGE 3 OF RESOLUTION NO. 188-97 office showing the several installments of principal and interest on the reassessments which are to be collected in the County of Contra Costa in each year during the term of the refunding bonds to be issued.
