County Sustainability District, Inland St. Lucie PACE, LLC and the Solar and Energy Loan Fund of St.
Lucie County, Inc. (SELF) entered into a Special Assessment Funding Agreement.

extend the maturity date of the Bond and the Loan to September 1, 2022.
Similarly, staff is proposing a first amendment to the Administration Agreement. On July 3, 2012,
the District entered into an Administration Agreement with SELF for SELF to provide program
design, implementation and administrative services for the District’s PACE program. The current

SELF representatives contacted County staff requesting that the term of the Administration
Agreement be extended to the same termination date as the Funding Agreement on September 1,
