Commentary on Measure F

Are you sure you want vote to support this extravagant measure? It has no accountability.

This campaign was designed by a member of the school bonds cartel. We figured out just the right words to get you to you to open up your checkbook.

We'd also like to introduce you to our partners -- bond lawyers, brokers, wealthy investors, architects, management firms, construction companies, and trade unions. We all stand to make a ton of money on these bonds. Our profits come right off the top, before a penny is actually spent on improving the facilities.

We're not just doing it for the money. We like to show off our work in Architectural Digest and other places where the rich and famous congregate.

Remember, we've taken a lot of risk. We gave money to get your governing board members elected, so they'd be sure to remember us when we came around for a hand-out later.

It's just business-as-usual, here in sunny Corruptifornia.

Please don't read the fine print. That's just put in by the lawyers to make what we're going to do to for you legal.

Measure F Question

"To upgrade schools by replacing old portables with new classrooms, science labs, athletic facilities at reopened middle school, relieving overcrowding, reducing traffic congestion, increasing safety, repairing or replacing inefficient heating, plumbing, electrical systemsCriticalFOUR PINOCCHIOS! Yet the full text says: "Schools have upgraded access to technology and repaired and replaced heating, plumbing and ventilation systems." Is the district lying? Or is it just trying to sell you a bill of goods you've already paid for? Where are the details on what all the previous bond money paid for?; replacing, constructing and renovating schools, shall the North Monterey County Unified School District be authorized to issue $40,000,000 in bonds at interest rates within the legal limit with no funds for administrator salariesTHREE PINOCCHIOS!Check out the fine print buried in the measure. When you're not looking, the district will pay itself with money borrowed at interest. Dishonest and disgusting. and an appointed Independent Oversight CommitteeCriticalIndependent? Really? The staff selects the committee. The Board rubber-stamps it. The Board can remove anyone who questions anything that the money is used for. You can be certain that there won't be anyone on the committee who isn't a cheerleader for spending your money on architectural marvels, like the Taj Mahal. to monitor all bond expenditures?"

Argument in Favor of Measure F

Argument in favor of Measure F

The District has experienced a rapid increase in enrollment over the past five years, growing from 4,284 students to more than 4,670 today--an increase of 386. We continue to grow and expect enrollment to exceed 5,000. We need at least 30 new classrooms over the next several years to serve students. The District schools are old with an average age of 61 years and have more than 50 aging portable classrooms that have exceeded their lifespan.

A Yes vote on Measure F will:

• Remove aging portable classrooms at Castroville, Echo Valley, Elkhorn and Prunedale Elementary Schools and replace them with new permanent classrooms.
• Complete the construction of Moss Landing Middle School to include a gym, locker rooms and athletic fields
• Reconvert the North Monterey Middle School to a second elementary school in Castroville so students will not be bused to schools far from home.
• Replace old, temporary classrooms at North Monterey County High School with a new Science, Technology, Engineering Math (STEM) building.

If Measure F is not approved:

• Schools remain severely overcrowded
• Out of date portable classrooms will remain
• Many students will continue to be bused from Castroville to other schools in the District
• Middle School students continue at a school that lacks proper classrooms, science labs, fields and technology
• Critical programs such as pre-school, music, adult education and intervention may be in jeopardy due to lack of classrooms.

A Yes vote on both Measure E and F will provide classrooms and facilities for students to improve educational opportunities for all students in the North Monterey County Unified School District.

Our students, our teachers and our community deserve better and less crowded schools. Please join us and vote Yes on Measures E and F to provide great schools and classrooms for all students.

Rebuttal to Argument Against Measure F

Rebuttal to the Argument Against Measure F

Measure F opponents make the choice very simple:

We can Vote Yes to raise the funds needed to renovate our local schools and prepare them to serve a growing student population:

Or;

We can accept overcrowded schools and classrooms, deteriorating facilities and out-of-date computer networks and technology infrastructure.

Measures E and F are both needed if we want to provide the classrooms our students deserve and reduce overcrowding. A Yes vote on Measures E and F will:

• • Rebuild and reopen Moss Landing Middle School with all new classrooms, science labs, library/media center, gym and playfields
• • Reconvert North Monterey County Middle School to a second elementary school to serve Castroville students and reduce the number of students bused to other elementary schools
• • Replace aging portables with new classrooms and technology
• • Replace old, temporary classrooms at North Monterey County High School with a new Science, Technology, Engineering Math (STEM) building
• • Provide additional fields and athletic facilities for school and community use
• • Increase campus safety.

If approved, an independent citizens' oversight committee will be appointed to monitor all expenditures and review audits to make sure every cent is spent appropriately. All information about District bonds is and has always been available at www.nmcusd.org.

Our schools are overcrowded and the average age is more than 61 years. We have dedicated teachers and staff who strive to provide outstanding educationCriticalJust look at the pitiful scores that were finally released by the California Department of Education in September. Perhaps, these shills for the district need to look up the word "outstanding" again. in out-of-date classrooms on overcrowded campuses. We can do better.

Please vote Yes on Measure F.

NORTH MONTEREY COUNTY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

BOND PROJECT LIST

If both bond measures on the ballot are approved by voters, the North Monterey Unified School District can relieve severe overcrowding at all elementary schools and the middle school, replace old, worn out portables with new classroom buildings, upgrade athletic fields and playgrounds, and build a new Science/Technology/Engineering/Math (STEM) facility at North Monterey County High School. The cost of the project includes items such as classrooms, utilities, ADA and State/County/Coastal regulations, furniture and equipment, educational services facilities, library, multi-purpose rooms, and other school facilities to serve students.

Reopening the Moss Landing site will allow the District to utilize District assets to solve numerous problems. The District will finally have a comprehensive middle school facility that will better serve our community. With an additional elementary school opening in Castroville, students will not be redirected and bused to schools far from home. Temporary portable classrooms on existing elementary campuses will be replaced with permanent buildings with upgraded infrastructure for technology to improve 21st century learning. The high school campus will replace temporary portable classrooms with the new Science Technology, Engineering/Math (STEM) building. Severe overcrowding at all schools will be reduced and permanent buildings will replace aging portables that have exceeded their 20-year lifespan.

If Measure __, the reopening of Moss Landing Middle School is approved, the bond funds would be used to remove old portable classrooms from campuses, add permanent classrooms, build new science labs, and improve access to classroom technology, greatly reducing impacted schools. Bond funds will also be used to repair or replace infrastructure such as heating, air, plumbing, roofs and electrical systems. Measure __ will also provide funds to complete the reopening of the Moss Landing Middle School to include a gym, locker rooms, and athletic fields.

If Measure __, the reopening of Moss Landing Middle School is not approved, this bond measure would be used to add classrooms to existing schools to accommodate increasing student enrollment. Each campus is currently at or over capacity so adding classrooms at each site is problematic. If Moss Landing is not reopened, two story classrooms will be added at schools, old portables will remain and playgrounds, fields and multi-use rooms as well as parking and traffic will be greatly impacted.

If both bond measures are not approved by voters. The schools in the North Monterey County Unified School District will continue to be severely overcrowded. Every possible classroom, including the old portables that have outlived their usefulness will be used to house students and special programs such as preschool, music and interventions may be in jeopardy due to lack of available classroom space. Many students from Castroville will continue to be bused to schools away from Castroville. Middle School students will continue to attend a school designed as an elementary school and will not have access to fields or modern, 21st century classrooms, science labs and technology. In addition, the Science/Technology/Engineering/Math (STEM) facility at North Monterey County High School will not be built and high school students will not have the science classrooms they deserve.

The North Monterey County Unified School District serves more than 4,600 students in grades K- 12. The district operates eight schools at seven campuses, Castroville Elementary, Echo Valley Elementary, Elkhorn Elementary, Prunedale Elementary, North Monterey County Middle, Central Bay High and North Monterey County High School. The district also operates preschools at each elementary school as well as the Castro Plaza Family Resource Center, and its North Monterey County Center for Independent Studies (K-12 school) and the adult education school.

The schools in the district are old, with the average age of 61 yearsTHREE PINOCCHIOS!Isn't that nice? List the years that the schools were built. Why won't the district say how much money and when has already been spent on these schools? The implication is that the schools have never been renovated since they were built. It's very deceitful to give you half the information.. The District has used bond funds approved by voters in 2002 and 2013 and maximized local bond investments with matching state funds, grants, developer fees, and federal stimulus funds. North Monterey County High School has recently opened a new library/media center, renovated the gymnasium and the new athletic track and field facility will open soon. Schools have upgraded access to technology and repaired and replaced Exhibit A
Page 2

heating, plumbing and ventilation systems. Bond funds have also been used to replace fire alarms and other improvements for student safety.

But there is much more that must be completed. The District has experienced a rapid increase in enrollment over the past few years. We will need at least 30 new additional classrooms over the next several years to accommodate students in our District schools. The District has over 50 aging portable classrooms that have exceeded their 20-year lifespan that must be replaced with new permanent buildings, with upgraded infrastructure for technology to improve 21st century learning. The high school's campus needs to replace temporary portable classrooms with a new Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) building to provide science labs. Our schools continue to improve but our facilities are impacted and our resources limited.

The District has recently updated its Facilities Master Plan. The Master Plan is to provide all students with equitable access to quality facilities no matter which school a child attends. All schools in the district will receive bond funds and accountability and oversight safeguards will be put in place to make certain all funds are spent appropriately. The schools in the district include:

What will it train staff to do? How to open a door? How to turn on the lights? This is just another way to move operating costs from the general fund to the bonds and use the money saved to pay salaries, benefits, and pensions. and a customary contingency, and escalation for unforeseen design and construction costs. In addition to the listed projects stated above, the Project List also includes the acquisition of a variety of instructional, maintenance and operational equipment, including the reduction or retirement of outstanding lease obligationsCriticalLeases are OPERATING expenses explicitly prohibited by the Constitution Article XIII-A Section 1(b)(3)(A) (Proposition 39). "not for any other purpose, including teacher and administrator salaries and other school operating expenses." and interim funding incurred to advance fund projects from the Project List, payment of the costs of preparation of all facility planning, facility studies, assessment reviews, facility master plan preparation and updatesCriticalFacilities master plans are required by law, whether or not there is a bond. These are OPERATING expenses explicitly prohibited by the Constitution Article XIII-A Section 1(b)(3)(A) (Proposition 39). "not for any other purpose, including teacher and administrator salaries and other school operating expenses.", environmental studies (including environmental investigation, remediation and monitoring), design and construction documentation, and temporary housing of dislocated District activities caused by bond projects.

The budget for each project, as defined in the Capital Investment Program is an estimation and may be affected by factors beyond the District's control. The final cost of each project will be determined as plans are finalized, construction bids are awarded and projects are completed. Based on the final costs of each project, certain of the projects described above may be delayed or may not be completed. Demolition of existing facilities and reconstruction of facilities scheduled for repair and upgrade may occur, if the Board determines that such an approach would be more cost-effective in creating enhanced and operationally efficient campuses. Necessary site preparation/restoration and landscaping, may occur in connection with new construction, renovation or remodeling, or installation or removal of relocatable classrooms, including ingress and egress, removing, replacing, or installing irrigation, utility lines, trees and landscaping, redirecting fire access, and acquiring any necessary easements, licenses, or rights of way to the property.

The allocation of bond proceeds may be affected by the District's receipt of State matching funds and the final costs of each project. In the absence of State matching funds, which the District will pursue to reduce the District's share of the costs of the projects, the District may not be able to complete some of the projects listed above.

The timeline and order of completion of the identified projects within this Bond Project list are at the discretion of the District. In addition, the issuance of bonds pursuant to this measure depends in part on the assessed valuation of properties in the District and as a result issuance will likely require approval from the State Department of Education for a waiver of bonding capacityRED FLAG!Forget about the "estimated" tax rate! It's just a fantasy. This means that the district is going to put you into debt no matter how high your tax bill goes. Suckers!.

FISCAL ACCOUNTABILITY: IN ACCORDANCE WITH EDUCATION CODE SECTION 15272, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES WILL APPOINT A CITIZENS' OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE AND CONDUCT ANNUAL INDEPENDENT AUDITS TO ASSURE THAT FUNDS ARE SPENT ONLY ON DISTRICT PROJECTS AND FOR NO OTHER PURPOSE. THE EXPENDITURE OF BOND MONEY ON THESE PROJECTS IS SUBJECT TO STRINGENT FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY REQUIREMENTS.

Measure F Tax Rate Statement

Exhibit B

EXHIBIT B

TAX RATE STATEMENT

An election will be held in the North Monterey County Unified School District (the "District") on November 7, 2017, to authorize the sale of up to $40 million in bonds of the District for the specific school facilities projects listed in the Bond Project List established by the District, as described in the proposition. If the bonds are authorized, the District expects to sell the bonds in one or more series. Principal and interest on the bonds will be payable from the proceeds of tax levies made upon the taxable property in the District. The following information is provided in compliance with Sections 9400-9404 of the California Elections Code.

1. (1) The best estimate of the tax rate that would be required to be levied to fund the bonds during the first fiscal year after the first sale of the bonds based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement, is $0.059 per $100 of assessed valuation ($59 per $100,000 of assessed valuation) in fiscal year 2018-19.
2. (2) The best estimate of the tax rate that would be required to be levied to fund the bonds during the first fiscal year after the last sale of the bonds, based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement, is $0.059 per $100 of assessed valuation ($59 per $100,000 of assessed valuation) in fiscal year 2021-22.
3. (3) The best estimate of the highest tax rate that would be required to be levied to fund the bonds, based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement, is $0.059 per $100 of assessed valuation ($59 per $100,000 of assessed valuation) in fiscal year 2021-22.
4. (4) The best estimate of the average tax rate which would be required to be levied to fund the bonds during the life of the bonds, based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement, is $0.059 per $100 of assessed valuation ($59 per $100,000 of assessed valuation).
5. (5) The best estimate of the total debt service, including the principal and interest, that would be required to be repaid if all the bonds are issued and sold is $82,163,800 ($40,000,000 of principal and $42,163,800 of interest). This estimate is based on assumptions regarding future interest rates and the term, timing, structure and amount of each series of bonds.

Voters should note that such estimated tax rates are specific to the repayment of bonds issued under this authorization and are and will be in addition to tax rates levied in connection with other bond authorizations approved or to be approved by the District or any other overlapping public agency.

Voters should note that estimated tax rate is based on the ASSESSED VALUE of taxable property on Monterey County's official tax rolls, not on the property's market value. Property owners should consult their own property tax bills to determine their property's assessed value and any applicable tax exemptions.

Attention of all voters is directed to the fact that the foregoing information is based upon the District's projections and estimates only, which are not binding upon the District. The actual tax rates and the years in which they will apply may vary from those presently estimated, due to variations from these estimates in the timing of bond sales, the amount of bonds sold and market interest rates at the time of each sale, and actual assessed valuations over the term of repayment of the bonds. The dates of sale and the amount of bonds sold at any given time will be determined by the District based on need for construction funds and other factors. The actual interest rates at which the bonds will be sold will depend on the bond market at the time of each sale. Actual future assessed valuation will depend upon the amount and value of taxable property within the District as determined by the Monterey County Assessor in the annual assessment and the equalization process.

NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved, determined and ordered by the Board of Trustees of the North Monterey County Unified School District as follows:

Section 1. Specifications of Election Order. Pursuant to sections 5304, 5322, 15100 et seq., and section 15266 of the California Education Code, an election shall be held within the boundaries of the District on November 7, 2017, for the purpose of submitting to the registered voters of the District the following proposition:

BOND AUTHORIZATION

By approval of this proposition by at least 55% of the registered voters voting on the proposition, the District shall be authorized to issue and sell bonds of up to $40 million in aggregate principal amount to provide financing for the specific school facilities projects listed in the Bond Project List attached hereto as Exhibit A, subject to all of the accountability safeguards specified below. Bonds will be issued in one or more series.

ACCOUNTABILITY SAFEGUARDS

The provisions in this section are specifically included in this proposition in order that the voters and taxpayers of the District may be assured that their money will be spent wisely to address specific facilities needs of the District, all in compliance with the requirements of Article XIII A, section 1(b)(3) of the State Constitution, and the Strict Accountability in Local School Construction Bonds Act of 2000 (codified at section 15264 et seq. of the California Education Code).

Evaluation of Needs. The Board of Trustees has prepared its capital improvement program in order to evaluate and address all of the facilities needs of the District, and to determine which projects to finance from a local bond at this time. The Board of Trustees hereby certifies that it has evaluated safety, class size reduction and information technology needs in developing the Bond Project List contained in Exhibit A.

Independent Citizens' Oversight Committee. The Board of Trustees shall establish an independent Citizens' Oversight Committee (section 15278 et seq. of the California Education Code), to ensure bond proceeds are expended only for the school facilities projects listed in Exhibit A. The committee shall be established within 60 days of the date when the results of the election appear in the minutes of the Board of Trustees.

Annual Performance Audits. The Board of Trustees shall cause to conduct an annual, independent performance audit to ensure that the bond proceeds have been expended only on the school facilities projects listed in Exhibit A.

Annual Financial Audits. The Board of Trustees shall cause to conduct an annual, independent financial audit of the bond proceeds until all of those proceeds have been spent for the school facilities projects listed in Exhibit A.

Special Bond Proceeds Account; Annual Report to Board. Upon approval of this proposition and the sale of any bonds approved, the Board of Trustees shall take actions necessary to establish an account in which proceeds of the sale of bonds will be deposited. As long as any proceeds of the bonds remain unexpended, the Superintendent shall cause a report to be filed with the Board no later than January 1 of each year, commencing January 1, 2018, stating (1) the amount of bond proceeds received and expended in that year, and (2) the status of any project funded or to be funded from bond proceeds. The report may relate to the calendar year, fiscal -3- year, or other appropriate annual period as the Superintendent shall determine, and may be incorporated into the annual budget, audit, or other appropriate routine report to the Board.

BOND PROJECT LIST

The Bond Project List attached to this resolution as Exhibit A shall be considered a part of the ballot proposition, and shall be reproduced in any official document required to contain the full statement of the bond proposition.

The Bond Project List, which is an integral part of this proposition, lists the specific projects the District proposes to finance with proceeds of the Bonds. Such projects will be completed as needed. Each project is assumed to include its share of costs of the election and bond issuance, architectural, engineering, and similar planning costs, construction management, and a customary contingency for unforeseen design and construction costs. The final cost of each project will be determined as plans are finalized, construction bids are awarded, and projects are completed. In addition, certain construction funds expected from non-bond sources, including State grant funds for eligible projects, have not yet been secured. Therefore the Board of Trustees cannot guarantee that the bonds will provide sufficient funds to allow completion of all listed projects.

FURTHER SPECIFICATIONS

No Administrator Salaries. Proceeds from the sale of bonds authorized by this proposition shall be used only for the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or replacement of school facilities, including the furnishing and equipping of school facilities, or the acquisition or lease of real property for school facilities, and not for any other purpose, including teacher and administrator salaries and other school operating expenses not related to the Bond project.

Single Purpose. All of the purposes enumerated in this proposition shall be united and voted upon as one single proposition, pursuant to section 15100 of the California Education Code, and all the enumerated purposes shall constitute the specific single purpose of the bonds, and proceeds of the bonds shall be spent only for such purpose, pursuant to section 53410 of the California Government Code.

Other Terms of the Bonds. When sold, the bonds shall bear interest at an annual rate not exceeding the statutory maximum, and that interest will be made payable at the time or times permitted by law. The bonds may be issued and sold in several series, and no bond shall be made to mature later than shall be permitted by law.
