Under state law, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors is required to authorize the sale and
issuance of TRANS for school districts within the County. No financial obligation is assumed with these
authorizations. The County's Treasurer/Tax Collector is the paying agent for these notes.
The School District is issuing these TRANS to meet financial needs of the District for fiscal year 2006-
2007.

Without the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors authorization, the School District would not be able
to issue the TRANS, thereby delaying or prohibiting payment of necessary school expenses.

RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE BORROWING OF FUNDS IN THE
NAME OF THE MT. DIABLO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR
FISCAL YEAR 2006-2007 AND THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF 2006 TAX
AND REVENUE ANTICIPATION NOTES THEREFOR
RESOLVED,by the Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County,California,as follows:
WHEREAS, pursuant to Article 7.6 (commencing with section 53850) of Chapter 4 of
Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the California Government Code (the "Law"), school districts
organized and existing under the laws of the State of California are authorized to borrow
money by the issuance of temporary notes, the proceeds of which may be used and expended
for any purpose for which the school district is authorized to spend moneys;
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Law, such notes may be issued in the name of such school
districts by the board of supervisors of the county, the county superintendent of which has
jurisdiction over such school district, as soon as possible following receipt of a resolution of the
governing board of such school district requesting such borrowing;and
WHEREAS, the Board of Education of the Mt. Diablo Unified School District (the
"District") has heretofore adopted its resolution on October 10, 2006 (the "District
Resolution"), finding and determining that it is desirable that the District borrow funds in an
amount not to exceed $40,000,000 with respect to the fiscal year 2006-2007 for authorized
purposes of the District, and requesting that the Board of Supervisors (the 'Board") of Contra
Costa County (the "County") for that purpose authorize the issuance of and offer for sale tax
and revenue anticipation notes in the name of the District in the principal amount of not to
exceed$40,000,000,under and pursuant to the provisions of the Law;
NOW,THEREFORE,it is hereby DETERMINED and ORDERED as follows:
Section 1. Recitals True and Correct. All of the recitals herein set forth are true and
correct and the Board so finds and determines.
Section 2. Approval of Request of District. The Board hereby approves the request of the
District for the Board to issue notes in its name.
Section 3. Authorization and Terms of Notes. Solely for the payment of current expenses,
capital expenditures and other obligations payable from the general fund of District during or
allocable to Fiscal Year 2006-2007, and not pursuant to any common plan of financing, the
Board hereby determines to and shall borrow the aggregate principal sum of not to exceed forty
million dollars ($40,000,000) in the name of the District. Such borrowing shall be by the issuance
of temporary notes under the Law, designated "Mt. Diablo Unified School District (Contra
13008.10
Costa County,California) 2006 Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes" (the "Notes"). The Notes
shall be dated as of their date of delivery, shall mature (without option of prior redemption) on
such date as shall be determined by the Superintendent of the District (or the Superintendent's
designee) prior to the date of sale of the Notes, and shall bear interest from their date, payable
at maturity, and computed on a 30-day month/360-day year basis. Both the principal of and
interest on the Notes shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America, as
described below.
Section 4. Form of Notes; Book Entry Only System. The Notes shall be issued in fully
registered form, without coupons, and shall be substantially in the form and substance set forth
in Exhibit A attached to the District Resolution and by reference incorporated herein,the blanks
in said form to be filled in with appropriate words and figures. The Notes shall be numbered
from 1 consecutively upward, shall be in the denomination of $1,000 each or any integral
multiple thereof.
"CUSIP" identification numbers shall be imprinted on the Notes, but such numbers
shall not constitute a part of the contract evidenced by the Notes and any error or omission with
respect thereto shall not constitute cause for refusal of any purchaser to accept delivery of and
pay for the Notes. In addition, failure on the part of the Board to use such CUSIP numbers in
any notice to registered owners of the Notes shall not constitute an event of default or any
violation of the Board's contract with such registered owners and shall not impair the
effectiveness of any such notice.
Except as provided below, the owner of all of the Notes shall be The Depository Trust
Company, New York, New York ("DTC"), and the Notes shall be registered in the name of
Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. The Notes shall be initially executed and delivered in the
form of a single fully registered Note in the full aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The
Board may treat DTC (or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive owner of the Notes registered in
its name for all purposes of this Resolution, and the Board shall not be affected by any notice to
the contrary. The Board shall not have any responsibility or obligation to any participant of
DTC (a "Participant"), any person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Notes under
or through DTC or a Participant, or any other person which is not shown on the register of the
Board as being an owner,with respect to the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC or any
Participant or the payment by DTC or any Participant by DTC or any Participant of any amount
in respect of the principal or interest with respect to the Notes. The County Treasurer, as paying
agent, shall pay all principal and interest with respect to the Notes only to DTC, and all such
payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Board's obligations
with respect to the principal and interest with respect to the Notes to the extent of the sum or
sums so paid. Except under the conditions noted below;no person other than DTC shall receive
a Note. Upon delivery by DTC to the Board of written notice to the effect that DTC has
determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., the term "Cede & Co." in this
Resolution shall refer to such new nominee of DTC.
If the Board determines that it is in the best interest of the beneficial owners that they be
able to obtain Notes and delivers a written certificate to DTC to that effect, DTC shall notify the
Participants of the availability through DTC of Notes. In such event, the Board shall issue,
transfer and exchange Notes as requested by DTC and any other owners in appropriate
amounts. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Notes at
-2-
any time by giving notice to the Board and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto
under applicable law. Under such circumstances (if there is no successor securities depository),
the Board shall be obligated to deliver Notes as described in this Resolution. Whenever DTC
requests the Board to do so, the Board will cooperate with DTC in taking appropriate action
after reasonable notice to (a) make available one or more separate Notes evidencing the Notes
to any DTC Participant having Notes credited to its DTC account or (b) arrange for another
securities depository to maintain custody of Certificates evidencing the Notes.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution to the contrary, so long as any
Note is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to
the principal and interest with respect to such Note and all notices with respect to such Note
shall be made and given,respectively, to DTC as provided in the representation letter delivered
on the date of issuance of the Notes.
Section 5. Proceeds Fund. There is hereby created a special fund to be held on behalf of
the District by the Treasurer-Tax Collector separate and distinct from all other County and
District funds and accounts designated the "Mt. Diablo Unified School District (Contra Costa
County, California) 2006 Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes Proceeds Fund" (the "Proceeds
Fund") and applied as directed in this Resolution.
Section 6. Deposit and Investment of Proceeds Fund. The proceeds received from the sale
of the Notes shall be deposited in the Proceeds Fund. All moneys held on behalf of the District
in the Proceeds Fund, if not invested, shall be held in time or demand deposits as public funds
and shall be secured at all times by bonds or other obligations which are authorized by law as
security for public deposits,of a market value at least equal to the amount required by law.
Moneys held in the Proceeds Fund shall be invested by the County in any one or more
investments generally permitted to school districts under the laws of the State of California,
consistent with the investment policy of the County and this Resolution (the "Proceeds Fund
Permitted Investments"). The Proceeds Fund Permitted Investments shall specifically include:
(a) the County Pooled Investment Fund maintained by the County; (b) at the request of the
District, in specific investments permitted under section 53601 of the California Government
Code; and (c) in the sole discretion of the District, (i) the Local Agency Investment Fund
maintained by the Treasurer of the State of California; and (ii) investment agreements with
financial institutions with senior unsecured credit ratings in one of the two highest rating
categories (without regard to any refinement or gradation of such rating category by a plus or
minus or a numeral) from one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organization then
rating the Notes.
Interest earning derived from the investment of amounts on deposit in the Proceeds
Fund shall be retained therein and used for the purposes of such fund.
Section 7. Use of Proceeds. The moneys deposited in the Proceeds Fund shall be

Section 8. Securi . The principal amount of the Notes, together with the interest thereon,
shall be payable from taxes, revenue and other moneys which are received by the District for
the general fund of the District for the Fiscal Year 2006-2007. As security for the payment of the
principal of and interest on the Notes, the Board, in the name of the District,hereby pledges the
first "unrestricted moneys", as hereinafter defined, to be received by the County on behalf of
the District in the amounts and in the months as shall be determined by the Superintendent of
the District, or his designee, not later than the date of sale of the Notes (such pledged amounts
being hereinafter called the "Pledged Revenues"). The principal of the Notes and the interest
thereon shall constitute a first lien and charge thereon and shall be paid from the Pledged
Revenues. To the extent not so paid from the Pledged Revenues, the Notes shall be paid from
any other moneys of the District lawfully available therefor. In the event that there are
insufficient unrestricted moneys received by the District to permit the deposit in the Repayment
Fund, as hereinafter defined, of the full amount of the Pledged Revenues to be deposited in any
month on the last business day of such month, then the amount of any deficiency shall be
satisfied and made up from any other moneys of the District lawfully available for the
repayment of the Notes and interest thereon. The term "unrestricted moneys" shall mean
taxes, income, revenue and other moneys intended as receipts for the general fund of the
District and which are generally available for the payment of current expenses and other
obligations of the District.
Section 9. Repayment Fund. There is hereby created a special fund to be held on behalf of
the District by the County Treasurer-Tax Collector separate and distinct from all other County
and District funds and accounts designated the "Mt. Diablo Unified School District (Contra
Costa County, California) 2006 Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes Repayment Fund" (the
"Repayment Fund") and applied as directed in this Resolution. Any money placed in the
Repayment Fund shall be for the benefit of the registered owners of the Notes, and until the
Notes and all interest thereon are paid or until provision has been made for the payment of the
Notes and the interest thereon through the maturity thereof, the moneys in the Repayment
Fund shall be applied solely for the purposes for which the Repayment Fund is created;
provided, however, that any interest earned on amounts deposited in the Repayment Fund
shall periodically be transferred to the general fund of the District.
During the pledge months to be determined by the Superintendent of the District, or his
designee, not later than the date of sale of the Notes, all Pledged Revenues shall be deposited
into the Repayment Fund. On the maturity date of the Notes, the County Treasurer-Tax
Collector shall transfer to DTC the moneys in the Repayment Fund necessary to pay the
principal of and interest on the Notes then due and, to the extent said moneys are insufficient
therefor, an amount of moneys from the District's general fund which will enable payment of
the full principal of and interest on the Notes at maturity. DTC will thereupon make payments
of principal and interest on the Notes to the DTC Participants who will thereupon make
payments to the beneficial owners of the Notes. Any moneys remaining in the Repayment Fund
after the Notes and the interest thereon have been paid, or provision for such,payment has been
made,shall be transferred to the District's general fund.
Section 10. Deposit and Investment of Repayment Fund. All moneys held on behalf of
the District in the Repayment Fund,if not invested,shall be held in time or demand deposits as
public funds and shall be secured at all times by bonds or other obligations which are

required by law.
Moneys held in the Repayment Fund shall be invested by the County in any one or more
investments generally permitted to school districts under the laws of the State of California,
consistent with the investment policy of the County and this Resolution(the "Repayment Fund
Permitted Investments"). The Repayment Fund Permitted Investments shall specifically

the District, in specific investments permitted under section 53601 of the California Government
Code; and (c) in the sole discretion of the District, (i) the Local Agency Investment Fund
maintained by the Treasurer of the State of California; and (ii) investment agreements with
financial institutions with senior unsecured credit ratings in one of the two highest rating
categories (without regard to any refinement or gradation of such rating category by a plus or
minus or a numeral) from one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organization then
rating the Notes.
Amounts on deposit in the Repayment Fund in excess of the amounts required to pay
the principal of and interest on the Notes when due, shall be transferred to the general fund of
the District.
Section 11. Execution of Notes. The Notes shall be executed in the manner set forth in the

Resolution as may be appropriate. Every temporary Note shall be executed by the Treasurer-
Tax Collector upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner as the definitive
Notes. If the Treasurer-Tax Collector issues temporary Notes he will execute and furnish
definitive Notes without delay, and thereupon the temporary Notes may be surrendered for

preparing each new Note issued under this Section 14 and of the expenses which may be
incurred by the Treasurer-Tax Collector in the premises. Any Note issued under the provisions
of this Section 16 in lieu of any Note alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen shall constitute an
