Commentary on Measure H

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

This campaign was designed by Government Financial Strategies (Lori Raineri, Matt Colker). 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 H

COUNTY COUNSEL'S IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS OF BOND MEASURE H

ANALYSIS BY THE COUNTY OF ALAMEDA
COUNTY COUNSEL OF A HAYWARD UNIFIED
SCHOOL DISTRICT BOND MEASURE

Measure H, a Hayward Unified School District ("District") bond measure, seeks voter approval to authorize the District to issue three hundred eighty-one million seven hundred thousand dollars ($381,700,000.00) in bonds at legal rates. The primary purpose of the bonds is to finance district-wide safety improvements and school facility construction.

Pursuant to Section 18 of Article XVI and Section 1 of Article XIIIA of the California Constitution and California Education Code Section 15274, this measure will become effective upon the affirmative vote of at least 55% of the qualified electors voting on this measure.

Proceeds from the sale of school bonds may only be used for construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation or replacement of school facilities, including the furnishing and equipping of such facilities, or for the acquisition or lease of real property for school facilities. In addition, proceeds may only be used for the projects listed in the measure (reproduced in the sample ballot pamphlet), which include district-wide safety improvements (such as security equipment, surveillance cameras, disability access, and upgrades to parent parking), rehabilitation and reconstruction of existing school facilities, and refinancing or retiring debt on school sites and facilities. Proceeds may not be used for any other purpose.

If 55% of those who vote on the measure vote "yes," the District will be authorized to issue bonds in an amount not to exceed the amount noted above. Approval of this measure will authorize a levy on the assessed value of taxable property within the District by an amount needed to pay the principal and interest on these bonds in each year that the bonds are outstanding.

The Tax Rate Statement for the measure in this sample ballot pamphlet reflects the District's best estimate, based upon currently available data and projections, of the property tax rates required to service the bonds. The District's best estimate of the highest tax rate required to be levied to fund the bonds is sixty dollars ($60.00) per one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) of assessed valuation (estimated to be Fiscal Year 2032-33). The District's best estimate of the average annual tax rate required to be levied to fund the bonds over the duration of the bond debt service is fifty-nine dollars and ninetyeight cents ($59.98) per one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) of assessed valuation. The District's best estimate of the total debt service, including principal and interest, that would be required to be repaid if all of the bonds are issued and sold is $845,067,102.00.

If 55% of those voting on this measure do not vote for approval, the measure will fail, and the District will not be authorized to issue the bonds.

The District's Board will establish an independent citizens' oversight committee to ensure that bond proceeds are spent for the projects listed in the measure. The Board will conduct annual, independent performance and financial audits.

This measure is placed on the ballot by the governing board of the District.

FULL TEXT OF BOND MEASURE
for
HAYWARD UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

INTRODUCTION

The Hayward Unified School District serves the Hayward community in Alameda County and provides a quality education to approximately 20,400 students in transitional kindergarten through twelfth grade. The District was established in 1963 and has several aging schools in need of improvements as it struggles to adequately provide safe and modern classroom facilities for its students.

The Hayward community overwhelmingly supported two school improvement bond measures, Measure I in 2008 and Measure L in 2014 to fund an initial phase of upgrades to our local schools. Measures I and L were only intended to address some of the facility needs identified in the 2006 Facilities Master Plan. The District still has an ongoing need for facilities, infrastructure, and security improvements to meet 21st century instructional standards.

Upgrades to local schools are needed to ensure facilities are accessible for students with disabilities and are equitable for all. Repairs and upgrades are needed at school facilities, including, but not limited to leaky roofs, restrooms, multi-purpose rooms, athletic fields, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, and the installation of solar panels at school sites to reduce energy operating costs.

Updates to student safety and security systems are also necessary, including, but not limited to, fire safety and emergency communications systems, including security equipment and surveillance cameras. New facilities are needed for music and art instruction. Construction of permanent classrooms to replace aging and unusable portable classrooms is also necessary.

Funds from a local school facilities improvement bond measure cannot be taken away by the State of California and must stay in our local community to upgrade local schools.

A school facilities improvement bond measure will require strict fiscal accountability requirements, including an independent citizens' oversight committee, Exhibit F.5.b.

BONDS

To provide safe/modern schools; upgrade aging classrooms/school facilities; update classroom technology; provide art/music classrooms; improve accessibility for students with disabilities; upgrade fire safety/emergency communications/school security systems; install solar panels; repair leaky roofs; update plumbing/heating/ventilation systems, shall Hayward Unified School District issue $381,700,000 in bonds at legal rates, levy approximately $60 per $100,000 of assessed value annually (generating approximately $24,502,000), anticipated through 2049-50, with independent oversight and all funds staying local?

MEASURE

As required by the California Constitution, the proceeds from the sale of the bonds will be used only for the purposes authorized under Article XIIIA of the California Constitution, including construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or replacement of school facilities, furnishing and equipping of school facilities, or the acquisition or lease of real property for school facilities, as specifically set forth in this Exhibit A, and costs incident thereto, and not for any other purpose, including salaries and other routine school operating expenses.

The following list describes the specific projects the District proposes to finance with proceeds of the bonds, including other eligible project funds, such as grants, should they become available to the District.

Measure H Tax Rate Statement

HUSDMH-2

TAX RATE STATEMENT OF BOND MEASURE H

An election will be held in the Hayward Unified School District (the "District") on November 6, 2018, to authorize the sale of up to $381,700,000 in bonds of the District for the school facilities projects described in the bond measure. If such bonds are authorized, the District expects to sell the bonds in one or more series. Principal and interest on the bonds will be payable only 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. Such information is based upon assessed valuations available from official sources and projections based upon experience within the District, and other demonstrable factors. Based upon the foregoing, the following information is provided:

1. (1) The best estimate from official sources of the average annual tax rate that would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue over the entire duration of the bond debt service, based on estimated assessed valuations which are projected based on experience within the District or other demonstrable factors, is $0.05998 per $100 of assessed valuation ($59.98 per $100,000 of assessed valuation). The final fiscal year in which the tax is anticipated to be collected is Fiscal Year 2049-50.
2. (2) The best estimate from official sources of the highest tax rate that would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue, based on estimated assessed valuations which are projected based on experience within the District or other demonstrable factors, is $0.0600 per $100 of assessed valuation ($60.00 per $100,000 of assessed valuation). The estimated year in which that rate would apply is Fiscal Year 2032.33.
3. (3) The best estimate from official sources 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 $854,067,102 ($381,700,000 of principal and $472,367,102 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 the estimated tax rate is based on the ASSESSED VALUE of taxable property on Alameda 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 Alameda County Assessor in the annual assessment and the equalization process.
