PURPOSE OF FEASIBILITY REPORT 
 
This Report has been prepared for consideration of the feasibility and benefits of certain public infrastructure 
(as defined in Section 48-701, Arizona Revised Statutes) (collectively, the “Public Infrastructure”), to be financed by 
the Bonds, if any are issued, and of the plan for financing the Public Infrastructure in accordance with the provisions 
of Section 48-715, Arizona Revised Statutes.  Pursuant to Section 48-715, Arizona Revised Statutes, this Report 
includes (i) a description of the Public Infrastructure, an estimate of cost and a timetable to acquire the Public 
Infrastructure (see Section Two); (ii) a map showing, in general, the location of the Public Infrastructure and area to 
be benefited by the Public Infrastructure (see Section Three); and (iii) a plan of finance for the Public Infrastructure 
(see Section Four). 
 
This Report has been prepared for consideration by the District Board.  It is not intended or anticipated that 
this Report will be relied upon by other persons, including, but not limited to, purchasers of the Bonds.  This Report 
does not attempt to address the quality of the Bonds as investments or the likelihood of repayment of the Bonds, if 
any are issued.  In preparing this Report, employees of Pulte Home Company LLC (“Pulte”), the master developer 
of the property within the District, the underwriter, the financial advisor, bond counsel, staff of the City of Buckeye, 
Arizona (the “City”) that provide services to the District, and other persons and experts have been consulted as 
deemed appropriate.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT 
 
Formation of the District was approved by the City on April 19, 2005, on the request of all of the landowners 
within the District.  The District consists of approximately 4,015 acres within the approximately 10,354 acre master-
planned community called Festival Ranch (the “Project”).  The Project is located along the Sun Valley Parkway 
generally between 259th Avenue and the 291st Avenue alignments.  Single-family residential units are planned for 
approximately 3,190 acres within the Project.  As of March 31, 2024, Pulte has closed 4,342 residential homes at Sun 
City Festival (age restricted) and 1,274 homes at Festival Foothills (non-age restricted), for a total of 5,616 residential 
homes. 
 
In addition to residential development, several community amenities have been constructed within the 
District.  Currently, a 27-hole golf course is completed along with a 15,000 square foot golf clubhouse, a 30,000 
square foot recreation center, a 24,000 square foot recreation center, an 8,000 square foot arts and crafts building, a 
softball complex, a pet park, a pickleball complex and a community park.

The Public Infrastructure described above was completed from 2006 to the date of this Report.  Proceeds of the Bonds 
will be used to finance the acquisition of a portion of the Public Infrastructure.  Additional portions of public 
infrastructure have been completed but are awaiting administrative approval by the District before such public 
infrastructure is eligible for funding from future bonds.  Additional public infrastructure as contemplated by the 
District’s formational documents will be constructed in the future.

PLAN OF FINANCE 
 
This Plan of Finance is subject to modification to accommodate market conditions at the time of the 
actual sale of the Bonds and to the extent necessary to comply with federal and State law.  
 
(i) 
Formation and Authorization: 
 
 
In response to a petition from the owners of 100% of the property within the District, the City Council 
formed the District on April 19, 2005.  The District is authorized to issue not-to-exceed $175,000,000 
in principal amount of general obligation bonds pursuant to an election held on May 25, 2005.  The 
remaining authorization prior to the issuance of the Bonds is $106,397,622. 
 
 
The District has previously issued the following series of general obligation bonds: 
 
$800,000, District General Obligation Bonds, Series 2006; 
 
$1,535,000, District General Obligation Bonds, Series 2007; 
 
$7,600,000, District General Obligation Bonds, Series 2009; 
 
$5,400,000, District General Obligation Bonds, Series 2012; 
 
$1,800,000, General Obligation Bonds, Series 2013; 
 
$5,410,000, General Obligation Bonds, Series 2016; 
 
$3,665,000, General Obligation Bonds, Series 2017; 
 
$2,940,000, General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2017;  
 
$3,335,000, General Obligation Bonds, Series 2018; 
 
$5,715,000, General Obligation Bonds, Series 2019;  
 
$3,885,000, General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2019; 
 
$5,315,000, General Obligation Bonds, Series 2020;  
 
$5,790,000, General Obligation Bonds, Series 2021;  
 
$6,075,000, General Obligation Bonds, Series 2022; 
 
$3,985,000, General Obligation Bonds, Series 2023; 
 
$10,075,000, General Obligation Bonds, Series 2024; and 
 
$2,995,000, General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2024. 
 
(ii) 
Proposed Debt Issuance: 
 
The Bonds are anticipated to be issued in September 2025.  As indicated in Table One herein, it is 
currently estimated that the Bonds will have a final maturity of approximately 20-years with principal 
amortized such that when combined with the debt service on the previous issues referenced above, the 
result will be aggregate level debt service along with a targeted secondary tax rate of not to exceed 
$3.00 per $100 of net assessed limited property value (not including the tax of $0.30 per $100 of net 
assessed limited property value levied to pay a portion of operation and maintenance expenses of the 
District and of the public infrastructure financed by the District (the “Operation and Maintenance 
Tax”)).

(b) All costs of issuance and underwriter fees will be paid by Pulte. 
 
(iv) 
Disclosure of Taxes and Assessments: 
 
 
Section 32-2181 et seq., Arizona Revised Statutes requires the disclosure of all property taxes and 
assessments to be paid by a homeowner in the Arizona Department of Real Estate Subdivision Public 
Report (the “Public Report”).  Each homebuyer must be supplied a Public Report and, prior to any 
home sale, the homebuyer must acknowledge by signature that they have read and accepted the Public 
Report. 
  
In addition, Pulte requires the homebuyer to sign an additional form that highlights and discloses the 
additional taxes as a result of the District financing.  
 
(v) 
Operation and Maintenance Estimated Revenues and Expenditures: 
 
The Public Infrastructure that may be acquired by the District has been dedicated to the City.   
 
 
Some or all of the public infrastructure heretofore or hereafter constructed may be, and may continue 
to be, supported by City monies (after acceptance of any such public infrastructure by the City), the 
Operation and Maintenance Tax, Home Owner’s Association (“HOA”) fees, developer contributions, 
or some combination of one or more of such revenue sources.  Pursuant to a development agreement 
among the Project property owners and the City, the master HOA is responsible for the operation and 
maintenance costs of landscaping for the roadways, trails, and open space within the District.  All 
homeowners are required to participate in the HOA.  Monthly fees for the HOA are approximately 
$168 per home in Sun City Festival and $95 per home in Festival Foothills. 
 
 
Pursuant to a development agreement among the Project property owners and the City, Pulte is 
required to provide a warranty for all infrastructure comprised of streets, parkways and alleys and all 
appurtenances thereto at its expense for a period of two years from the date the City accepts the 
infrastructure. Such warranty requires repair actions reasonably necessary to correct defects according 
to customary engineering industry standards for each item of the Public Infrastructure.
