INTRODUCTION
Bonds to finance the construction of public buildings for City Offices, City
Council Chambers and Police Facilities for the City of Carlsbad and the County of
San Diego are to be issued by the Carlsbad Building Authority. The Authority is
a public entity formed pursuant to an agreement between the County of San Diego
and the City of Carlsbad dated as of October 1, 1967.
In general, the Authority will build the Project in accordance with plans and
specifications previously approved by the City and County. When completed, the
Authority will lease the Project to the City on a "net, net" basis for a term to
coincide with the term of the Bonds. Annual rentals will be in an amount sufficient
to pay principal and interest on the Bonds plus operating expense of the Authority.
The Bonds are to be secured by rents payable by the City of Carlsbad to the
Carlsbad Building Authority in accordance with the terms of the lease. Rents will
flow from the City to the Trustee who will be responsible under the terms of the
Indenture. The Trustee will pay principal and interest on the Bonds.
This Official Statement, in addition to discussing the financing Program, the
City and its economics, will describe, in brief, the various legal instruments
relating to this financing. Complete copies of the following documents will be
found in a booklet accompanying the Statement:

holding by national banks. Said ruling is expected before opening of bids on the
bonds.

masonry exterior walls and frame interior walls. The structure contains the
city administrative offices and police facility. The roof is constructed using
truss steel joists, clear spanning 50 feet with composition built-up roofing.
The building has provisions for parking approximately 100 cars on the site.
The floors are carpeted in most areas. The ceilings are acoustical tile.
"The building is completely air conditioned with the exception of. the 2500
square foot Council Chamber. The heating and air conditioning is accom
plished through the use of hot and chilled water.
"The building consists of four basic areas: (1) Council Chamber; (2) the
City Administrative wing; (3) the Building Services wing, which will con
tain the Building Inspection Department, the Engineering Department and
the Planning Department; and (4) the Police Facility."
It is intended by the City and the County that the occupancy of the Project

the Trustee and the Trustee shall credit said moneys to a special fund, designated
as the "Revenue Fund", which the Trustee shall establish and maintain. All moneys

but shall nevertheless be disbursed, allocated and applied solely for the uses and
purposes hereinafter in this Article V set forth.

Trustee sha II transfer from the Revenue Fund the following amounts at the times and
in the manner hereinafter provided for, and shall deposit such amounts, in the

initial payments from Bond proceeds, are derived from the Revenue Fund and are
subdivisions thereof) each of which Funds shall be disbursed and applied only as
herein authorized:
(a)Interest Fund. On or before August 1 of each year, beginning August 1,
1968, the Trustee shall deposit in the Interest Fund hereby established
(the initial payment into which is provided for in Section 3.03) a sum
sufficient, together with the balance then on hand in said fund, to pay
the twelve (12) months' interest becoming due on the Bonds on the next
succeeding December 15 and June 15, respectively. No payment need
be made into the Interest Fund if the amount contained therein is at least
equa I to the interest to become due in the next ensuing twelve ( 12) months
payment period upon all of the Bonds then outstanding. Moneys in the
Interest Fund shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee soley for the
purpose of paying the interest on the Bonds as it shall become due and
payable or transferring such moneys to the Paying Agents for that purpose.
(b)Retirement Fund. On or before August 1 of each year, beginning August 1,
1968, the Trustee shall deposit in the Retirement Fund hereby established
a sum sufficient, together with the balance then on hand in said fund to
pay the aggregate amount of principal of the outstanding Bonds maturing
on the next succeeding December 15. No payment need be made into the
Retirement Fund if the amount contained therein is at least equal to such
maturity of principal becoming due in the current fiscal year. Moneys
in the Retirement Fund shall be used and withdrawn by the Trustee solely
for the purpose of paying the principal on the Bonds as it shall become due
and payable or transferring such moneys to the Paying Agents for that purpose.
(c)Sinking Fund. On or before August 1 of each year commencing August 1,
1979, after the transfers heretofore required have been made, there shal I

fess than the minimum amount hereinafter specified. Except as provided
in Section 4.01 hereof, such transfers shall in no event be less than
amounts (herein sometimes referred to as "minimum sinking fund payments")
which will be sufficient to call and redeem the Term Bonds in the follow
ing respective minimum principal amounts on December 15th in each of
the following years, to wit:
11
12
Minimum Amount Minimum Amount
Year Each Year Year Each Year
1979 $20,000 1986 $25,000
1980 20,000 1987 25,000
1981 20,000 1988 25,000
1982 20,000 1989 25,000
1983 20,000 1990 30,000
1984 20,000 1991 30,000
1985 25,000 1992 35,000
The minimum sinking fund payment to be made as aforesaid shall be the
amount needed to call and redeem the minimum amount of Term Bonds
which according to the above table are to be called and redeemed, it
being the intent of this provision that the respective minimum amounts
necessary to call and redeem Term Bonds according to the above table
(or to purchase all or any part of such bonds in lieu of call and redemp
tion prior to maturity) shall be transferred to the Redemption Fund at least
one month before the redemption date. In the event that the transfer
made for any year is less than the minimum sinking fund payment for that
year because of lack of funds or for any other reason the deficiency shall
be added to and become a part of the minimum sinking fund payment
required for the following year.
Except as herein provided, moneys in the Sinking Fund shall be used solely
for the purpose of purchasing and/or calling and redeeming Term Bonds
prior to maturity as hereinafter provided. Money in said fund which has
not been set aside in the Redemption Fund for the purpose of ca II and
redemption of Term Bonds prior to maturity may be used by the Authority
to purchase from time to time on the open market any of the outstanding
Term Bonds at such prices and in such manner, either at public or private
sale or otherwise, as the Authority in its discretion may determine but the
purchase price (including brokerage or other charges, but excluding accrued
interest) shall not exceed the maximum redemption price thereof (as pro
vided in Section 4.01) on the next interest payment date of the Term Bonds
so purchased. In the event any Additiona I Term Bonds are issued with
provision for sinking fund payments sufficient to call and redeem said
Additional Term Bonds the money in the Sinking Fund shal I be used for
the purpose of purchasing and/or calling and redeeming said Additional
Term Bonds and the Term Bonds of this issue in the manner provided in
this resolution and subsequent resolutions of issuance without priority for
any Term Bonds of the issue or any issue of Additional Term Bonds.
The Authority covenants that whenever on any November 15 of any year
there shall be in said Sinking Fund an amount at least sufficient to call
$5,000 principal amount of Term Bonds, the moneys in said fund shall be
used to call Term Bonds at the next available call date in the largest
amount which can be called with the money available. The Term Bonds
to be called shall be determined by lot. Money in the Sinking Fund to
be used to ca II Term Bonds sha II for that purpose be transferred to the
Redemption Fund. All term Bonds not paid prior to December 15, 1992,
shall be paid on said date and, to the extent necessary, money in the
Sinking Fund shall be used to pay said Term Bonds and any interest
thereon.
(d)Reserve Fund. The Trustee Shall deposit in the Reserve Fund (the initial
payment into which is provided for in Section 3.03) such amounts as may
be necessary to maintain on deposit in the Reserve Fund an amount equal
to one-half of the Maximum Annual Debt Service. The moneys in the
Reserve Fund shall be applied solely for the purpose of paying the principal
of the Bonds at their maturities, or to make minimum sinking fund payments
to the extent that there are insufficient moneys available for such purposes
in the Interest Fund, the Retirement Fund, the Sinking Fund, or in the
Revenue Fund. An amount equal to one-half of the Maximum Annual Debt
Service on th e Bonds outstanding shall be maintained at all times in the
Reserve Fund by payments from the Revenue Fund from time to time as may
be necessary, and any deficiency therein shall be made up from time to
time from the Revenue Fund. If requested by the Authority in each of the
years prior to completion of construction of the Project, any moneys in
excess of one-half of the Maximum Annual Debt Service then in the
Reserve Fund shall be transferred to the Construction Fund, and thereafter
any moneys in excess of one-half of the Maximum Annual Debt Service
in the Reserve Fund shall on June 30 and December 30 of each year be
transferred to the Revenue Fund. No payment need be made into the
Reserve Fund if and when the aggregate amount of the moneys on deposit
therein equals one-half of the Maximum Annual Debt Service. Moneys
in the Reserve Fund may be used to pay the principal and/or interest on
the last maturity or maturities of Bonds outstanding.
(e)Working Capital Fund. Commencing after the inital Base Rental under the
Lease is paid and thereafter fol lowing each August l, provided that the
current August l transfers to the Interest Fund, the Retirement Fund and
the Sinking Fund is provided for or has been made, and the amount
required to pay principal and interest on the Bonds and make the minimum
sinking fund payments in said fiscal year based upon the amount of Base
Rental payments provided therefor have been retained, the Trustee shall
deposit in the Working Capital Fund for the Revenue Fund, to the extent
available sums sufficient for the payment of:
(i)All taxes and assessments of any nature whatsoever, including, but

items of Additional Rentals when the same become due and, upon receipt
of same, deposit such amounts in the Working Capital Fund.
(f)Operation and Maintenance Fund. If at any time the Authority shall
operate the Project, by reason of default by the City, the Trustee shall

priority shall be the same as the Working Capital Fund above, all amounts
which shall be required to provide for the payment of all costs of mainte
nance and operation of the Project, including costs of repairs and replace

Fund sha 11 be disbursed by the Trustee to pay such costs upon the Written
Request of the Authority.
Any moneys in the Revenue Fund on June 30, 1969 or on each June 30
thereafter, except amounts transferred for the purposes aforesaid, sha 11 be
declared surplus and (a) be used and applied by the Trustee at the direction

While these Bonds are not direct obligations of the City of Carlsbad or the
County of San Diego it is appropriate to discuss in detail the financial data,
history and economy of the City. Rents to be paid by the City to the Authority
constitute the principal source of income to the Authority and therefore the fin
ancial and economic position of the City relate directly to the security of the

MAY COMPANY SHOPPING CENTER
Of major importance to the economy of Carlsbad is the planned May Department
Stores Company shopping center. According to an official of the May Company,
ground-breaking for this approximate 580,000 square foot center will take place in
January, 1968 with completion scheduled for January, 1969. In addition to May
Company, the center will be occupied by J. C. Penney Co. and a 60,000 square
foot Woolworth's outlet, plus speciality and miscellaneous shops taking about 160,000
square feet. The center will be known as Plaza Camino Real, a partnership in which
a May Company subsidiary is the general partner, The partnership owns the real
property on which the shopping center is to be developed and will build the other
stores in the center.
In order to obtain this development, the City has agreed to finance required
off-street parking foci Ii ties through the Carlsbad Parking Lease Corporation. Th is
corporation was incorporated as a non-profit corporation for the purpose of financing
off-street parking facilities for the City of Carlsbad and exists only for that purpose.
The Lease Corporation will acquire parking facilities to be constructed on land
granted by the shopping center developers to the City of Carlsbad. The City in turn
will lease the completed parking facilities and pay the corporation an annual rental
to be specified. Bonds will be sold by the corporation to finance the parking develop
ment, and the City of Carlsbad lease payments will meet all of the interest and
principal requirements of those bonds. Maximum lease payments are not expected
to exceed $156,000.
Although the City will incur a substantial obligation in the form of annual
lease payments to the Lease Corporation, direct financing benefits are expected to
far outweight any liabilities, as indicated by the discussion of "Direct Financing
Benefits" found in the report on" Lease Financing of Proposed Parking Facilities -
City of Carlsbad" dated January, 1966.
"Largest new source of city income produced by the shopping center will
be the city sales tax, collected at a rate of approximately 1 per cent of
the gross sales in the center, Based on current citywide retail safes volume,
the city estimates that it will derive $84,000 from its sales and use tax in
1965/66, up about 10 per cent from the $76,000 received in 1964/65.
Sales taxes produce about 13 per cent of the city's general fund revenues,
a smaller ratio than typically reported by California cities of comparable • II size.
"The retail sales tax applies to nearly all retail sales in the city, whether
or not made through a retail store, Principal exclusions from the sales tax
are food for off-premises consumption, gasoline, and prescription."

THE CITY OF CARLSBAD
The City of Carlsbad, in northern San Diego County, is located on the Calif
ornia coast some 85 miles south of metropolitan Los Angeles and 35 miles north of
San Diego via Interstate 5, one of the main routes between the Canadian and
Mexican Borders. The City covers an area of 10.5 square miles along the ocean.
Elevations range from sea level to over 325 feet in the more easterly of two ridges
which parallel the coastline.
The City encompasses the 460-acre Aqua Hedionda lagoon; the Buena Vista
Lagoon divides Carlsbad from Oceanside on the north. Within a radius of ten
miles are the cities of Vista, San Marcos, and Escondido; the new residential
developments of Lake San Marcos and La Costa; and Rancho Santa Fe, one of the
finest residential areas in southern California. To the south along the coast are
the primarily residential communities of Leucadia, Encinitas, and Cardiff-by-the-Sea.
Northern San Diego County is mountainous, with a comparatively narrow strip
of level land and low rolling hills along the Pacific Coast. Over the years, because
of the terrain, major transportation and communication routes have been established
in this approximately 15-mile-wide corridor. The main coastal line of the Santa Fe
Railroad traverses the City of Carlsbad, as does U.S. 101, which was the main
north-south highway prior to the opening of the eight-lane San Diego Freeway
(Interstate 5) from Oceanside south to the City of San Diego. As a result, good
passenger train service is available, and Carlsbad is within one-half hour's driving
time of San Diego and one and one-half hours from downtown Los Angeles.
Growth in the North Coastal Area
A number of the present-day residential and resort communities along the
coast resulted from the establishment of work camps for construction of what was

the California-Southern Railroad in the late 1800's. A well in Carlsbad which
produced water almost identical to that from a famous well in Karlsbad, Bohemia,
gave the city its name, and in the l 880's the community experienced considerable
growth as a seaside and mineral springs resort. Inland areas, however, have been
used for agricultural purposes, and more recently for the production of avacadoes,
citrus fruits, vegetables, and flowers.
Extensive development of the North Coastal Area was restricted until almost
1950 because of inadequate local water supplies. During World War II a single
barrel aqueduct extending south from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California's Colorado River Aqueduct was built about 15 miles inland from the
coast to supply military establishments and defense industries in the Son Diego area.
Its capacity was enlarged in 1954 by the addition of a second barrel, and a second
aqueduct about eight miles from the coast was completed in 1960. Construction of
a second barrel to the second aqueduct wi 11 be financed from the proceeds of the
sale of $30,000,000 bonds which were authorized by the electorate within the
Son Diego County Water Authority in June 1966.
The increasing pressure from expanding populations to the north and south in
recent years is resulting in the rapid urbanizing of the North Coastal Area, as
evidenced by the fol lowing population increases for its incorporated cities:

Since 1960 the population of the "North County" (Northwest Major Statistical
Area) increased from 150,592 to 219,080, a 45.5 percent gain, nearly twice the
over-all County average of 24.6 per cent. Although the "North County" has had
a more rapid percentage increase than the immediate San Diego metropolitan area
(Southwest Major Statistical Area), the latter continues to lead in absolute popula
tion increase. It now has a population of l, 049, 249, an increase of 181,543 since
1960 which represents approximately 71.4 per cent of the total County population
gain since 1960. Although several statistical areas of the County, such as Spring
Valley, Casa De Oro, and Tri-City Statistical Areas, rank high in percentage
gain in the 1960-1967 period, they ranked much lower in percentage gain the
past two-year period. These statistical areas had been sharing in the rapid
residential construction pace, which carried over from the late 1950's into the
early l 960's. Their recent lower rate of increase reflects the reduction of build
ing activities in these areas.

As guides to accommodating future growth, master plans have recently been
completed for the cities of Carlsbad and Vista, and a portion of the County immed
iately south of Carlsbad designated as the San Diequito Area. The Carlsbad General
Plan, prepared for the City by Daniel, Mann, Johnson & Mendenhall, anticipates
that the population within the City's present boundaries will approach 22,000 by
1985, and that there will be 31,000 people within the over 32-acre Carlsbad
Planning Area which encompasses the present City area. The San Diequito General
Plan, prepared by the San Diego County Planning Department, anticipates that there
will be 160,000 people in 1985 in an area that now has an estimated 30,000 people.
Recent growth includes the establishment of industrial parks in Oceanside and
San Marcos, and major planned residential and resort communities such as Lake San
Marcos and La Caste have been opened in valley areas back from the ocean. The
use of land up to five or six miles from the coast is changing rapidly from rural to
urban, and most of the presently unimproved land farther inland is being held for
future development in parcels of from about 40 to 1,600 acres and up. No small
parcels suitable for tract or subdivision development are available.
It is believed that within fifteen to twenty years northern San Diego Caunty
will be a well-developed metropolitan area, with marina-type communities in most
of the lagoons. Public facilities are being established on an area-wide service
basis, such as the new Oceanside-Carlsbad Junior College, in Oceanside; Palomar
Junior College, in San Marcos; Tri-City Hospital, in Vista; and the Palomar Airport,
east of Carlsbad. A major area installation is the San Onofre Nuclear Generating
Station being constructed by Southern California Edison Company and San Diego
Gas & Electric Company within the boundaries of Camp Pendleton. Scheduled for
operation in 1967, this plant is expected to produce enough power to meet the
electrical needs of a city of 500,000 population.
City Growth
When Carlsbad was incorporated over 15 years ago, it had 6,963 residents.
The 1960 U.S. Census reported the City's population as 9,253, representing an
increase of over 55 per cent in eight years, and, based on the July 1967 estimate
by the County Planning Department of 13,700, the City's population has grown an
additional 48 per cent. Other indices of growth are shown on the following page.

Carlsbad is primarily a suburban residentail and resort community, with most
of the business establishments of a local service nature. In recent years a number
of small businesses and retail outlets have been established in the City, including
two large shopping centers. Mayfair Square has a large Mayfair Market, a Mode
O'Day shop and a Coronet Variety Store, as well as seven other retail establish
ments. Poinsettia Plaza Shopping Center was opened in June 1964, and has a bank
and restaurant in addition to a supermarket and 12 other stores. Ground will be
broken by the May Company in January 1968 for a department store in the new
68-acre Plaza Camino Real in Carlsbad. This $11,000,000 completely enclosed,
air-conditioned shopping center complex will be the only one of its type in the
North County Area. The first phase, expected to be open in 1969, will contain
580,000 square feet of shopping area and wi 11 include May Company and
J.C. Penney department stores and forty specialty shops in two levels with connect
ing malls. When the second phase is completed, there is planned to be 1,000,000
square feet of shopping area with three major department stores and 80 specialty
shops.
Facilities in Carlsbad are accessible to residents of a wide area by a number
of excellent highways, as well as the recently opened San Diego Freeway. There
fore, it is anticipated that the new Plaza Camino Real shopping center complex in
Carlsbad will serve the entire northwestern part of San Diego County and its currently
estimated population of over 191,000. State Highway 78 is an expressway east from

The Carlsbad Police Department has a total permanent personnel of 21, operating
under the supervision of a Chief and a Captain and serving City areas; the Freeway
is patrolled by the California Highway Patrol. City equipment includes six radio
equipped patrol cars, and a harbor patrol boat. The Carlsbad Fire Department has
a full-time staff of ten including a Chief and two Captains. Equipment includes
two 1,000--gallon pumpers, a rescue-salvage rig, two jeeps, and a pickup truck.
The Department also operates a 1,000-gallon Civil Defense pumper.
Water Service in Carlsbad is provided by the City, with the main supply being
obtained from Carlsbad Municipal Water District, which serves surrounding areas.
The City Department has 16 employees, and operates six pickup trucks, meter
reading scooters, backhoes, front-end loaders, dump trucks, and other equipment
necessary to the proper operation of the water system. The water system was acquired
and improved by the proceeds of sales in 1958 and 1960 of a total of $1,047,000
Water Revenue Bonds, of which $992,000 are currently outstanding. These bonds,
which have final maturities in 1988 and 1990, are being retired from revenues of
the system.
Sewage collection and treatment facilities for residents of Carlsbad were
operated by the City until 1961, when it was determined that existing and future
needs could be met more economically through the construction of treatment and
disposal facilities jointly with the Vista Sanitation District, northeast of Carlsbad.
Recent expansion of the joint facilities has also included the Buena Sanitation
District. Sewer service in Carlsbad is $1.00 per month for a single-family residence,
with charges collected on the water bills and receipts applied toward costs of the
system.
The City employs a full-time sewage pumping station operator, and two service
men operate a backhoe, a half-ton repair truck, service rooters, and other neces
sary sewerage system maintenance equipment. The City's share of the sewerage
facilities has been financed by three sales of a total of $2, 122,000 general obliga
tion bonds authorized in January 1962, of which $2,040,000 are currently
outstanding.
Real Estate Values
Homes in Carlsbad have been constructed primarily on an individual basis, and
few, if any, houses are available for less than $20,000. Older buildings are gen
erally in locations where land values are high and newer residences range to $95,000
for five bedrooms on 1/2-to 3/4-acre lots in higher areas with views of the back
country as wel I as the ocean.
The few lots with ocean frontage available in Carlsbad sell at $850 to $1,000
per front-foot. Four to five-acre parcels within the City proper (west of El Camino
Real) are priced to $15,000 an acre, while land in the inland portions of the City
is valued from $4,500 an acre up in parcels of 40 acres or more.

Educational Facilities
Schools for Carlsbad students are, for the most part, under the auspices of the
Carlsbad Union School District, Oceanside-Carlsbad Union High School District,
and the Oceanside-Carlsbad Junior College District. There are three public ele
mentary schools and one junior high school in the City, and two parochial schools.
The Army and Navy Academy, an established military school in Carlsbad with a
national reputation, has an enrollment of over 350 students in grades six through
twelve.
Oceanside-Carlsbad High School District operates one high school in Carlsbad,
with a current enrollment of 1,019.

completed early in 1965, and the 25-story First National Bank Building was formally
opened January 3, 1966. Within the last three years, the U.S. National Bank
Building, the Home Tower Building, and the Electronics Capital Building were com
pleted, all with approximately twenty stories.
New construction includes the City's 14,500-seat International Sports Arena,
recently completed at an estimated cost of $4,500,000. Also recently completed
is San Diego's new International Airport Terminal, costing some $5,400,000. In
the downtown area, construction has just started on San Diego Gas & Electric
Company's $10,000,000 office building.

Increasing diversification is evident in San Diego County's industry. Every
thing from aircraft to commercial fishing and canning plants, shipbuilding and repair,
electronics, and agriculture has its importance in the over-all economic picture.
The influx of many smaller firms in light manufacturing and other fields has been
absorbing payroll reductions in aircraft and allied industries, and resulting in a
reliatively stable rate of employment.
