STATEMENT OF BONDED INDEBTEDNESS AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS

           Charter Section 312(g) requires that the budget provide all essential facts regarding the bonded and other indebtedness of the
           City government. Under the California Constitution, the City may issue general obligation bonds subject to the approval of two-
           thirds of the voters voting on the bond proposition. An ad valorem tax on real property is levied without limitation as to rate and
           amount to pay principal and interest on general obligation bonds. The City may also levy special taxes on real property based
           on the size of improvements (rather than assessed valuation) with two-thirds voter approval. These taxes may secure bonded
           obligation. The City may issue revenue bonds under the State 1941 Act with approval by 50 percent plus one of the voters, and
           under the City Charter, the City may establish its own procedures for issuing revenue bonds. Under State law, the City may
           also enter into long-term lease obligations without obtaining voter approval.  Lease revenue bonds and certificates of
           participation may be issued, which are secured by such lease-purchase agreements. Under various sections of State law, the
           City may establish assessment or Mello-Roos districts and issue bonds for infrastructure improvements.  The bonds are
           secured solely by the properties in the district. The table below summarizes the outstanding general obligation bonded
           indebtedness of the City, judgment obligation bonds, lease revenue bonds, certificates of participation, revenue bonds and
           special assessment and Mello-Roos districts.  .
