    2016-1820 NEW ISSUE INSURED RATING ON INSURED BONDS: Standard & Poor’s: “AA” NO UNDERLYING RATING See “RATING.” In the opinion of Parker & Covert LLP, Sacramento, California, Bond Counsel, based upon an analysis of existing statutes, regulations and court decisions, and assuming, among other things, the accuracy of certain representations and compliance with certain covenants, interest on the Series 2016 Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is exempt from State of California personal income taxes. In the further opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on the Series 2016 Bonds is not an item of tax preference for purpose of the alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations; however, such interest is taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings for the purpose of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on certain corporations. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any other tax consequences relating to the ownership or disposition of, or the accrual or receipt of interest on, the Series 2016 Bonds. See “LEGAL MATTERS - Tax Exemption.” $16,275,000 RIO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 1 2016 SPECIAL TAX BONDS Dated: Date of Delivery Due: September 1, as shown below Authority for Issuance.

  • Measure a – Oxnard Union High School District

    Measure a – Oxnard Union High School District

    Measure A – Oxnard Union High School District Impartial Analysis by County Counsel* Measure “A” was placed on the ballot by the governing Board of the Oxnard Union High School District. Under the Constitution, school districts may issue general obligation bonds if approved by at least 55% of the District’s voters. A “Yes” vote on Measure A would permit the District to issue Bonds in an amount not to exceed $350 Million for improvements and repairs to be made to the following District schools: Adolfo Camarillo, Channel Islands, Condor, Frontier, Hueneme, Oxnard, Pacifica, Rio Mesa, and Rancho Campana, as well as to Oxnard Adult School, including repairs to roofs, plumbing, electrical wiring, and air conditioning. Bond proceeds could also be used for construction of a new high school in Oxnard. According to the District’s Tax Rate Statement, Bonds would issue at legal rates estimated at $0.0278 per $100 of assessed valuation (i.e., $27.80 per $100,000 of assessed value) with a maximum legal rate of $0.03 per $100 ($30 per $100,000 of assessed value). The District’s Assistant Superintendent estimates that the total debt service, including principal and interest, that may be required to be paid if all the bonds are issued and sold is $625 million. The final fiscal year during which the tax will be collected for the Bonds is anticipated to be 2048-49. Bonds proceeds may be used only for Measure A’s stated purposes. Measure A’s stated purposes include the following: the repair, rehabilitation, and making of improvements to existing facilities at schools listed above as well as to education and support facilities within the District; and the acquisition, construction, expansion, and equipping of a new high school to serve the District’s students.

    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary GEOLOGICAL SURVEY George Oils Smith, Director Bulletin 826 NAMES AND DEFINITIONS OF THE GEOLOGIC UNITS OF CALIFORNIA COMPILED BY M.GRACE WILMARTH UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON: 1931 For snle by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. ----- Price 20 cents PREFACE By T. W. STANTON In Bulletin 769, " The geologic time classification of the United States Geological Survey," by M. Grace Wilmarth, secretary of the committee on geologic names, it was announced that Miss. Wilmarth had in preparation a more extended compilation which will form a stratigraphic lexicon of the United States, containing definitions of all the geologic formations that have been named and described in this country. Work on this compilation is making good progress and has now reached a stage where it is possible to give geologists a sample of the lexicon, which will be locally useful and at the same time give them an opportunity to make helpful criticisms both of the character of the material to be included in the larger work and of the form in which it is presented. It happens that California is almost completely isolated from the other States in its stratigraphic development and that the great local variations in sedimentation within its borders, epecially in Tertiary time, have caused the naming of an unusual number of formations. Less than half a dozen of the formations named in California extend into Oregon and Washington, and the number that come into eastern California from Nevada is not much larger. It is therefore thought desirable to issue the " Names and definitions of the geologic units of California " as a separate publication.
