Commentary on Measure W

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.

Impartial Analysis for Measure W

IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS OF MEASURE W

By Mary C. Wickham, County Counsel

Approval of Measure W ("Measure") would authorize the Wiseburn Unified School District ("District"), to issue general obligation bonds in an amount not to exceed $29,000,000. The Measure was placed on the ballot by the Board of Trustees ("Board") of the District by Resolution No. 17/18.15.

Proceeds from the sale of the bonds authorized by the Measure shall be used only for the purposes specified in the Measure, including, but not limited to, repairing/replacing/upgrading aging classrooms, bathrooms, and windows; rehabilitating school building exteriors, including roofs, doors, and fixtures; improving accessibility for disabled persons; upgrading outdated heating/ventilation, plumbing, electrical, communication, safety, fire alarm, and water systems; expanding existing libraries with equipment and technology; modernizing computer labs, food service, administrative, student and support facilities to accommodate before and after school child development programs; installing equipment and furnishings related to projects; landscaping upgrades; installing technology for college preparation and work-force training, and instructional media and presentation equipment; constructing renewable energy savings systems; removing hazardous materials; and planning, designing and providing temporary housing, easements, and facilities necessary to accomplish the projects. Bond proceeds may not be expended on teacher and administrator salaries and other operating expenses.

The Board shall cause independent performance and financial audits to be conducted annually to ensure that bond proceeds are spent only for projects identified in the Measure. The Board shall appoint an independent Citizens' Oversight Committee ("Committee") in compliance with Education Code section 15278 no later than 60 days after the Board enters the election results in its minutes. The Committee will ensure that bond proceeds are spent as specified in the Measure and as provided by law. The District shall create an account into which proceeds of the bond shall be deposited and shall comply with the reporting requirements of Government Code section 53410.

The bonds shall not exceed the maximum interest rate or maturity as allowed by law. The tax and levy authorized to secure the bonds shall not exceed the Proposition 39 limits per $100,000 of taxable property in the District when assessed valuation is projected by the District to increase.

According to the District's Tax Rate Statement, the best estimate of the highest tax rate required to fund the bond issue, which is estimated to be fiscal year 2021-22, is $19.00 per $100,000, based on a projection of assessed valuation available when the District filed its Tax Rate Statement.

This Measure requires a fifty-five percent (55%) vote for passage.

Just tired old cliches written by slick lawyers and advisors!

Back in March, did you know Wiseburn Unified had ordered an election for a huge, new, $49,862,000 tax on your home? Do you feel compelled to reward reckless spending and poor management? If not for us, you wouldn't get the whole story.

NO ADMINISTRATOR SALARIES?

Constitution says no salaries. Statutes say no salaries. Resolution, question, measure, and argument say no salaries. Guess what lawyers snuck in? Hint: "other costs incidental to and necessary" (lawyer code for salaries). You can take that to the bank.

FACTS

How did District get to $29,000,000? Who knows? It doesn't tell you.

Measure W is a contract. Have you read the fine print? Besides District salaries, what else does it pay for? -- "costs of the election," "legal,", "accounting," "audits," and on and on.

Are schools REALLY falling apart? Have you ever read School Accountability Report Cards? (sarconline.org) Three school facilities are rated "exemplary," four "good." Why is District "improving" two nearly new schools? Who's being deceptive and dishonest here?

District's spent $168,691,826 from previous measures. Why are you buying same promises again? Have you ever seen oversight reports?

BOTTOM LINE

Can you trust District? Have you seen enough to convince you that, when you're not looking, District is willing to breach law, its promises, and your trust?

Would you really agree to a written contract where promises weren't explicitly and unambiguously written into it?

Argument Against Measure W

ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE W

Parents, do you hold your children accountable?

Supporting our schools is good. Wasting your money on vague, unenforceable promises is bad.

Don't be deceived. District's campaign is funded by vendors who will likely benefit from bond spending. (pay-to-play?) Beware high-priced marketers masquerading as "parents, teachers, and community leaders."

Vote No on Measure W. Why?

- It's virtually, word-for-word, identical to every other bond measure written by lawyers and advisors who made $4,712,335 (paid by you, with interest) from facilities bonds issued since 1997.

- Can you find a single specific project that District guarantees will be completed?

- Can you trust District? Why did it ignore oversight laws over many years for Measure AA (2010) ($87,000,000)? Measure A (2007) ($32,600,000)?

- Were you surveyed? Did you get a campaign mailer from District? If Measure W passes, YOU PAY for it all.

- Did you know that District has issued $119,593,451 in bonds since 2007? Where has that money gone?

- Did you know District issued interest only bonds 6 times? In Poway Unified, taxpayers ended up paying 10 times the amount borrowed for similar bonds.

Current law permits a bare majority of voters (55%) to approve Measure W provided "... that BEFORE they vote, voters will be given a list of specific projects their bond money will be used for ...". Measure W is required to be a "list of the specific school facilities projects to be funded." But intentionally vague language gives District a BLANK CHECK with NO ACCOUNTABILITY.

Don't vote to waste your taxes on vague promises. Did District keep its promises from Measure AA (2010)? Measure A (2007)? They spent $119,593,451. Where's the "21st-century learning technology?"

Bond money is like drugs. Measure W is another fix. Just say NO!

REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE W

In Wiseburn, promises made are promises kept!

With our community's support, we have made our schools some of the best in the state and nation – and Wiseburn's excellent schools make our neighborhoods better too! Measure "W" will help keep property values strong by maintaining and upgrading all our schools. Vote YES on Measure "W"!

We know that supporting our schools IS good for our children AND our community! That's why we have enthusiastically agreed to invest in our schools – and the District modernized Burnett School (1997), finished construction of Anza School (2002), built a new Dana Middle School (2007), and rebuilt Cabrillo School (2008). Then, Wiseburn High School opened last November, as everyone in the South Bay has taken notice.

Now we need to maintain all our achievements AND all our schools – vote YES on Measure "W"!

Measure "W" will improve student safety and security, provide 21st Century technology, and build classrooms for our youngest children. And it will help keep our schools well maintained.

Measure "W" requires an Oversight Committee, just like our prior measures. Since 2007, that Committee has frequently met to review how we've spent every dollar. Additionally, to make sure Measure "W" remains responsible, the Board adopted policies prohibiting Capital Appreciations Bonds (CABs) and restricting the total cost of the bonds.

So, we'd invite everybody from the California Taxpayers Action Network to drive the 100+ miles from Chula Vista, and spend a day here in Wiseburn, touring our schools. We'd invite them to see what we've built together – then we're sure they'd say vote YES on Measure "W" too!

FURTHER SPECIFICATIONS

Joint-Use Projects. The District may enter into agreements with other public agencies or nonprofit organizations for joint useCriticalThe California Constitution prohibits the use of Proposition 39 bond funds for anything other than "school facilities." The term is used no less than five times in the Constitution. It's not for funding community projects. of school facilities financed with the proceeds of the bonds in accordance with Education Code Section 17077.42 (or any successor provision). The District may seek State grant funds for eligible joint-use projects as permitted by law, and this proposition hereby specifies and acknowledges that bond funds will or may be used to fund all or a portion of the local share for any eligible joint-use projects identified in the Bond Project List or as otherwise permitted by California State regulations, as the Board shall determine.

Single Purpose. All of the purposes enumerated in this proposition shall be united and voted upon as one single proposition, pursuant to Education Code Section 15100, 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 California Government Code Section 53410.

Other Terms of the Bonds. When sold, the bonds shall bear interest at an annual rate not exceeding the statutory maximum, and that interest shall 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 more than the statutory maximum number of years from the date borne by that bond.

BOND PROJECT LIST

The Bond Project List below lists the specific projects the District proposes to finance with proceeds of the bonds. The Bond Project List shall be considered a part of the bond proposition and shall be reproduced in any official document required to contain the full statement of the bond proposition. Listed projects will be completed as neededCriticalYou see? None of these repairs are current needs. They may be needed in the future, though. After years and years of neglect, any facility will fall into disrepair. at a particular school or facility site according to Board-established priorities, and the order in which such projects appear on the Bond Project List is not an indication of priority for funding or completion. Any authorized repairs shall be capital expenditures. The Bond Project List does not authorize non-capital expenditures. Each project is assumed to include its share of costs of the electionCriticalThis illustrates how the district will claw back every nickel and dime it can. The agenda says the election costs will come from the general fund. It's an overhead cost 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 bond issuance, construction-related costs, such as project and construction management, architectural, engineering, inspection and similar planning and testing costs, demolition and interim housing costs, legal, accounting and similar fees, costs related to the independent annual financial and performance auditsCriticalThese audits are required by the constitution.

They are operating costs and are prohibited from being paid by bond funds., a contingency for unforeseen design and construction costs, and other costsCriticalWhat might those other costs be?

What was that they said about no administrative salaries? incidental to or necessary forCriticalWho do you think gets to decide? completion of the listed projects (whether the related work is performed by the DistrictCriticalWhat was that they said about no administrative salaries? or third parties). 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 have not yet been secured. Therefore, the Board cannot guarantee that the bonds will provide sufficient funds to allow completion of all listed projects. Alternatively, if the District obtains unexpected funds from non-bond sources with respect to listed projects, such projects may be enhanced, supplemented or expanded to the extent of such funds. A-3
4138-8446-6193.5 12 Some projects may be subject to further government approvals, including by State officials and boards and/or local environmental or agency approval.

Measure W Tax Rate Statement

EXHIBIT B

TAX RATE STATEMENT

An election will be held in the Wiseburn Unified School District (the "District") on June 5, 2018, to authorize the sale of up to $29,000,000 in bonds of the District to finance school facilities as described in the preposition. If the bonds are approved, the District expects to issue the bonds in multiple series over time. 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 through 9405 of the California Elections Code.

1. 1. The best estimate of the average annual tax rate that would be required to be levied to fund this bond issue over the entire duration of the bond debt service, based on assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement, is 1.874 cents per $100 ($18.74 per $100,000) of assessed valuation. The final fiscal year in which the tax to be levied to {find this bond issue is anticipated to be collected is fiscal year 2041-42.
2. 2. The best estimate of the highest tax rate that would be required to be levied to fund this bond issue, based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement, is 1.900 cents per $100 ($19.00 per $100,000) of assessed valuation in fiscal year 2021-22.
3. 3. The best estimate of the total debt service, including the principal and interest, that would be required to be repaid if all of the bonds are issued and sold is approximately $49,862,000.

Voters should note that estimated tax rates are based on the ASSESSED VALUE of taxable property on the County's official tax rolls, not on the property's market value, which could be more or less than the assessed value. In addition, taxpayers eligible for a property tax exemption, such as the homeowner's exemption, will be taxed at a lower effective tax rate than described above. Certain taxpayers may also be eligible to postpone payment of taxes. Property owners should consult their own property tax bills and tax advisors 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 average annual tax rate, the highest tax rate and the year or years in which it will apply, and the actual total debt service, 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, including the legal limitations on bonds approved by a 55% affirmative vote. 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 County Assessor in the annual assessment and the equalization process.
