Recommendation
By Minute Motion, that the City Council receive and file the audited
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the City of Palm
Desert for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.
Committee Recommendation
The Audit, Investment and Finance Committee received the audited financial statements
at their January 24, 2012 meeting, and it was recommended that the statements for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 be received and filed by the City Council.
Background
White Nelson Diehl Evans LLP performed and completed the annual independent audit
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, for the City of Palm Desert in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards. In the auditor's opinion, the basic financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the City of Palm
Desert as of June 30, 2011, and the results of its operations and the cash flows of its
proprietary funds for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

In conducting their audit, the auditors test the City's internal controls. Attached is the
Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting and on compliance and other
matters based on an audit of Financial Statements performed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards.
The CAFR was submitted for the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial
Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association. In order to be awarded a
Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently
organized comprehensive annual financial report. This report must satisfy both generally
accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements. We believe that our
current comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the Certificate of
Achievement Program's requirements, as it has for the past thirteen years.
Staff requests that the Council receive and file the City of Palm Desert's audited financial
reports for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact as a result of this action.

To the Honorable City Council
of the City of Palm Desert
Palm Desert, California
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type activities,
the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the City of Palm Desert for the year ended June 30, 2011. Professional standards require
that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing
standards, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have
communicated such information in our engagement letter to you dated June 17, 2011 and our meeting
on planning matters on June 28, 2011. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you
the following information related to our audit.
Significant Audit Findings
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant
accounting policies used by the City of Palm Desert are described in Note 1 to the financial statements.
Other than the implementation of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 54, "Fund
Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions", no new accounting policies were
adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during June 30, 2011. We noted no
transactions entered into by the governmental unit during the year for which there is a lack of
authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial
statements in the proper period.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are
based on management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions
about future events. Certain accounting estimates are .particularly sensitive because of their
significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them
may differ significantly from those expected.

Significant Audit Findings (Continued)
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices (Continued)
The most sensitive estimates affecting the City's financial statements were:
• Management's estimate of the fair market value of investments is based on market
values provided by outside sources.
• Management's estimate of the value of capital assets (infrastructure) is based on
industry standards.
• The estimated useful lives of capital assets for depreciation purposes are based on
industry standards.
• The funded status and funding progress of the public defined benefit plan with
CalPERS which is based on an actuarial valuation.
• The estimated net OPEB asset which is based on an actuarial valuation.
• The estimate of the deferred asset and liability on the City's Interest Rate Swap
Agreement is provided by an outside consultant.
• The claims liability for workers' compensation and general liabilities are based on
estimates by the claims administrators.
We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop these estimates in determining that they
were reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to
financial statement users. The most sensitive disclosure affecting the financial statements were
reported in Note 10 regarding the defined benefit pension plan and Note 14 regarding other
post -employment benefits.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing
our audit.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during
the audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of
management. Management has corrected all such misstatements. In addition, none of the
misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management were material,
either individually or in the aggregate, to each opinion unit's financial statements taken as a whole.
-2-
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a
financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that
could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor's report. We are pleased to report that no
such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management
representation letter dated December 16, 2011.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and
accounting matters, similar to obtaining a "second opinion" on certain situations. If a consultation
involves application of an accounting principle to the governmental unit's financial statements or a
determination of the type of auditor's opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our
professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the
consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other
accountants.
Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and
auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the governmental unit's auditors.
However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our
responses were not a condition to our retention.
This information is intended solely for the use of City Council and management of the City of Palm
Desert and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
City Council
City of Palm Desert
Palm Desert, California
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type activities,
the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the City of Palm Desert (the City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2011,.which
collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated
December 16, 2011. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City's internal control
over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing
our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an
opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a contrql does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the City's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a
timely basis.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in
the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control
over financial reporting that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We
did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be
material weaknesses, as defined above.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's financial statements are free of
material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and
material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on
compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express
such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that
are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the management, City Council and others
within the City, and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified
parties.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
ON AGREED -UPON PROCEDURES APPLIED
TO APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT WORKSHEET
To the Honorable Mayor
and Members of City Council
City of Palm Desert
Palm Desert, California
We have performed the procedures enumerated below to the accompanying Appropriations Limit
Worksheet No. 6 of the City of Palm Desert, California for the year ended June 30, 2011. These
procedures, which were agreed to by the City of Palm Desert, California and the League of California
Cities (as presented in the League publication entitled "Article XIII-B Appropriations Limit Uniform
Guidelines") were performed solely to assist the City of Palm Desert, California in meeting the
requirements of Section 1.5 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution. The City of Palm Desert's
management is responsible for the Appropriations Limit Worksheet No. 6.
This agreed -upon procedures engagement was conducted in accordance with attestation standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The sufficiency of the
procedures is solely the responsibility of those parties specified in this report. Consequently, we make
no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the purpose for
which this report has been requested or for any other purpose.
The procedures performed and our findings were as follows:
1. We obtained the completed Worksheet No. 6 for the year ended June 30, 2011, and compared the
limit and annual adjustment factors included in that worksheet to the limit and annual adjustment
factors that were adopted by resolution of the City Council. We also compared the population and
inflation options included in the aforementioned worksheet to those that were selected by a
recorded vote of the City Council.
No exceptions were noted as a result of this procedure.

2. For the accompanying Appropriations Limit Worksheet No. 6, we added last year's limit to the
total adjustments, and compared the resulting amount to this year's limit. We also recalculated the
adjustment factor and the adjustment for inflation and population, and compared the results to the
amounts on Worksheet No. 6.
No exceptions were noted as a result of this procedure.
3. We compared the prior year appropriations limit presented in the accompanying Appropriations
Limit Worksheet No. 6 to the prior year appropriations limit adopted by the City Council for the
pnor year.
No exceptions were noted as a result of our performing this procedure.
We were not engaged to, and did not, perform an audit, the objective of which would be the expression
of an opinion on the accompanying Appropriations Limit Worksheet No. 6. Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to
our attention that would have been reported to you. No procedures have been performed with respect
to the determination of the appropriation limit for the base year, as defined by the League publication
entitled "Article XIIIB Appropriations Limitation Uniform Guidelines".
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council and management of the
City of Palm Desert, California and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than
these specified parties.

CITY OF PALM DESERT
NOTES TO APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT WORKSHEET NO. 6
For the year ended June 30, 2011
1. PURPOSE OF LIMITED PROCEDURES REVIEW:
Under Article XIIIB of the California Constitution (the Gann Spending Limitation Initiative),
California governmental agencies are restricted as to the amount of annual appropriations from
proceeds of taxes. Effective for years beginning on or after July 1, 1990, under Section 1.5 of
Article XIIIB, the annual calculation of the appropriations limit is subject to a limited procedures
review in connection with the annual audit.
2. METHOD OF CALCULATION:
Under Section 10.5 of Article XIIIB, for fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 1990, the
appropriations limit is required to be calculated based on the limit for the fiscal year 1986-87,
adjusted for the inflation and population factors discussed at Notes 3 and 4 below.
3. INFLATION FACTORS:
A California governmental agency may adjust its appropriations limit by either the annual
percentage change in the 4th quarter per capita personal income (which percentages are supplied by
the State Department of Finance), or the percentage change in the local assessment roll from the
preceding year due to the change of local nonresidential construction. The factor adopted by the
City of Palm Desert for the fiscal year 2010-2011 represents the annual percentage change for per
capita personal income.
4. POPULATION FACTORS:
A California governmental agency may adjust its appropriations limit by either the annual
percentage change of the jurisdiction's own population, or the annual percentage change in
population in the County where the jurisdiction is located. The factor adopted by the City of Palm
Desert for fiscal year 2010-2011 represents the annual percentage change in population for the
County of Riverside.
5. OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:
A California government agency may be required to adjust its appropriations limit when certain
events occur, such as the transfer of responsibility for municipal services to, or from, .another
government agency or private entity. The City of Palm Desert had no such adjustments for the year
ended June 30, 2011.
See accompanying independent accountants' report on agreed -upon procedures applied to
appropriations limit worksheet.

Citizens of the City of Palm Desert,
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the City of Palm Desert for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2011, is submitted herewith. This report was prepared by the City's Finance
Department.
Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the information
contained in this report, based upon a comprehensive framework of internal control established for this
purpose. Because the cost of internal control should not exceed anticipated benefits, the objective is to
provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of any material
misstatements.
It is the policy of the City of Palm Desert to have an annual audit performed by an independent
certified public accountant. The independent audit of the City's financial statements for fiscal year
ended June 30, 2011, was conducted by White Nelson Diehl Evans, LLP as appointed by the City
Council. The auditor's unqualified ("clean") opinion on the basic financial statements is included in
the Financial Section of this report.
As part of the City's annual audit engagement, the auditors reviewed the City's internal control
structure as well as compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The results of the City's annual
audit for fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, provided no instances of material weaknesses in connection
with the internal control structure or significant violations of applicable laws and regulations.
As recipients of federal, state and county financial resources, the City of Palm Desert is required to
undergo an annual single audit. When applicable, information related to this single audit, including the
schedule of expenditures of federal awards, findings and recommendations, and auditor's reports on
the internal control structure and compliance with applicable laws and regulations, is included in a
separately issued report. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the City is required to have a single
audit performed.
Management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the independent auditor's report
and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial statements. MD&A
complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction with it.

Association of the United States and Canada.

PROFILE OF THE CITY OF PALM DESERT
Located in Riverside County in the geographical center of the Coachella Valley, Palm Desert was
incorporated on November 26, 1973, as a General Law City. Fourteen years later, on
November 4, 1997, voters overwhelmingly approved Measure LL adopting a city charter.
Under the provisions of the charter, the City of Palm Desert has full authority over its own municipal
affairs including: bidding and contracting procedures; regulation of parks, libraries, and other facilities;
certain fees; imposition of taxes; municipal zoning; salaries of officials and employees; municipal
utilities; and municipal election procedures.
The City of Palm Desert operates under a Council -Manager form of government. The City Council
consists of five members elected by the residents of the City. Council terms are four years, and
elections occur in November during even -numbered years. Each November, the City Council selects
the Mayor from among its members for a one-year term. The City Council appoints the City Manager
and the City Attorney.
The City operates as a "contract city", primarily utilizing agreements with other governmental entities,
private firms, and individuals to provide many services. Contracted services include: police and fire
protection through the County of Riverside; animal control; road maintenance and construction
services; legal services; landscape maintenance; and recreation program services. The City is a
member of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority that provides insurance coverage for the

The City maintains budgetary controls. The objective of these budgetary controls is to ensure
compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriated budget approved by the City
Council. Activities of the General, Special Revenue, Debt Service, and Capital Project Funds are
included in the annual appropriated budget. Budgetary amounts for Debt Service, Capital Projects, and
certain Special Revenue Funds are adopted annually, however, these budgets are considered to be
long-term in nature.
The City also maintains an encumbrance accounting system of purchase orders and contracts at the
fund level as a means of accomplishing budgetary control. Open encumbrances are reported as a
reservation of fund balance at the end of each fiscal year. Purchase orders are reviewed to ensure that
funds are available and that requests are properly authorized prior to being released to vendors.
The adopted budget for fiscal year 2010-2011 was prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. As reflected in the statements and schedules
included in the financial section of this report, the City continues to meet its responsibility for sound
financial management.
LOCAL ECONOMY
The City comprises an area of approximately 26 square miles and, as of January 1, 2011, has a
population of 49,111, according to data provided by the California Department of Finance. In addition
to permanent residents, approximately 20,000 seasonal residents make Palm Desert their home for
three to six months each year.
The City of Palm Desert has cultivated a sound foundation of general fund revenues including sales
tax, transient occupancy tax, licenses and permits, property tax, and investment earnings. Tourism and
sales tax are the City's main revenue sources.

Citizens of the City of Palm Desert, Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

As a balanced community where economic, environmental, social, and cultural development
flourishes, Palm Desert is a much. sought-after place to visit and reside. The first city in Riverside
County to create a public art program, Palm Desert is home to numerous cultural attractions including:
the McCallum Theatre for the Performing Arts, a 1,127-seat theater which hosts some of the biggest
names and well-known productions in show business; The Living Desert wildlife and botanical park, a
1,200-acre facility containing a wide array of plants and animals from desert regions around the world;
and the Palm Desert Art in Public Places program, a museum without walls, featuring more than
100 works of art on permanent display throughout the City.
Palm Desert's active, five-star accredited Chamber of Commerce has more than 1,100 members who
work to promote, support, and enhance business prosperity, civic vitality, and the quality of life within
their community. Noted for its extensive array of retail options, including the world famous upscale
shopping destination of El Paseo, the City is home to a variety of malls and retail centers including
Westfield Palm Desert, Desert Crossing, The Gardens on El Paseo, and El Paseo Village.
The internationally acclaimed Desert Willow Golf Resort, one of the nation's premier municipal
courses, boasts 36 holes of championship golf and stunning scenery in close proximity to first-class
hotel accommodations and fine dining.
In addition to being the home of the Coachella Valley's only community college, College of the
Desert, Palm Desert is the location of two new recently opened satellite campuses for California State
University, San Bernardino and the University of California, Riverside. Both of these institutions of
higher learning offer multiple options for degree programs and continuing education.
The State of California Employment Development Department Labor Market Information Division
reported that the City of Palm Desert had an unemployment rate of 8.67% compared to Riverside
County, which had a rate of 14.44%. The City's balanced foundation of tourism, culture, and education
has strengthened the City's labor force as the County tries to rebound from its current economic crisis.
LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING
In June 2011 the City Council approved a total of $5.99 million in funding for various capital
improvement projects for the fiscal year of 2011-2012. Projects include traffic signals, sidewalk
repairs and construction, accessibility improvements, street widening, improving drainage areas, a new
aquatic facility, and renovations at Desert Willow Golf Resort and two local fire stations.
With all these projects slated for the next fiscal year, it is evident that the City of Palm Desert is
committed to promoting tourism, business, culture, and education in an effort to maintain the high
quality of life that the entire community enjoys.

Certificates of Awards for Outstanding Financial Reporting
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Palm Desert for its
comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. This was the 14th
consecutive year that the City has achieved this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate
of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized
comprehensive annual financial report. This report must satisfy both general accepted accounting
principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current
comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program's
requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
Acknowledgments
The preparation of this report could not have been accomplished without the efficient and dedicated
services of the entire Finance Department staff whose names are listed individually in the title page.
Due credit is given to the Mayor and the City Council Members for their interest and support in
planning and conducting the operations of our City in a responsible and progressive manner.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Palm Desert, California
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type
activities, the discretely presented component unit, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the City of Palm Desert, California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2011, which
collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the City of Palm Desert's management. Our responsibility is to express
opinions on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by
the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
City's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective
financial position of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, the discretely presented component
unit, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Palm Desert as of
June 30, 2011, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable thereof for the
year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As described in Note 11, the City has implemented the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board
Statement Number 54, "Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions", for the year ended
June 30, 2011.
As explained further in Note 20, the California State Legislature has enacted legislation that is intended to
provide for the dissolution of redevelopment agencies in the State of California. The effects of this legislation
are uncertain pending the result of certain lawsuits that have been initiated to challenge the constitutionality of
this legislation.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 16, 2011,
on our consideration of the City of Palm Desert's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that
report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the
results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on
compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing
Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.
The management's discussion and analysis, the schedules of funding progress and budgetary comparison
schedules, as listed in the table of contents as required supplementary information, are not a required part of the
basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. This information is an essential part of financial reporting for placing
the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic or historical context. We have applied
certain limited procedures to the management's discussion and analysis and the schedules of funding progress in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of
inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge
we obtained during the audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on the management's discussion and analysis and the schedules of funding progress because the
limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
The budgetary comparison schedules and related note have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and
reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic
financial statements of the City of Palm Desert or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other
additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise
the City's basic financial statements. The combining, individual fund statements and schedules are presented
for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements of the City. Such
information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying
accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures,
including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records
used to prepare the basic financial statements of the City or to the financial statements themselves, and other
additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements of the City of
Palm Desert, California as a whole. The introductory section and statistical section are presented for purposes
of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has not
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly,
we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.

CITY OF PALM DESERT
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Our discussion and analysis of the City of Palm Desert's financial performance for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2011 provides: a comparison of current year to prior year ending results based on the
government -wide statements; an analysis of the City's overall financial position and results of operations
to assist users in evaluating the City's financial position; a discussion of significant changes that occurred
in funds; and significant budget variances. In addition, it describes the activities during the year for capital
assets and long-term debt. We end our discussion and analysis with a description of known facts,
decisions, and conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results
of operations. Please read it in conjunction with the transmittal letter and the City's financial statements.
• The City's total assets exceeded its liabilities by $635.83 million (net assets).
• Long-term debt obligations decreased $21.29 million from $408.24 million to $386.95 million.
• The City's governmental activities net assets decreased $1.29 million, and the net assets of the
business -type activities increased $5.82 million.
• During the year, the City's revenues were $147.11 million and expenses were $142.48 million in
its governmental activities compared to fiscal year 2010, where expenses were $16.59 million
greater than revenues.
• In the City's business -type activities, expenses were $0.23 million more than the $8.58 million
generated in green fees, merchandise sales, rental income and other revenues compared to the
prior year, where business -type activities revenues were $0.61 million less than its expenses.
• The City's governmental activities program revenues and general revenues decreased by $6.85
million, or 4.4 percent from prior year, while program expenses decreased $28.07 million, or 16.4
percent from prior year, which is due to the decrease in the Supplemental Education Relief
Augmentation Fund (SERAF) obligation enacted by the State of California. The payment made in
fiscal year 2010 was $25.52 million and payment made for fiscal year 2011 was $5.26 million.
• Business -type activities revenues increased by $0.48 million, from $8.10 million to $8.58 million.
Expenses increased by $0.10 million from the prior year.
• The revenues available for expenditures were $1.25 million more than budgeted in the General
Fund. The City kept General Fund expenditures within spending limits by $3.25 million.
USING THIS ANNUAL REPORT
This annual report consists of a series of financial statements. The Statement of Net Assets and
Statement of Activities (on pages 15, 16 and 17) provide information about the activities of the City as a
whole and present a long-term view of the City's finances. Fund financial statements start on page 20.
For governmental activities, these fund statements tell how these services were financed in the short term
as well as what remains for future spending. Fund financial statements also report the City's operation in
more detail than the government -wide statements by providing information about the City's most
significant funds and other funds. The remaining fiduciary fund statement provides financial information
about activities for which the City acts solely as a trustee or agent for the benefit of those outside of the
government.
See independent auditors' report. - 3 -
REPORTING THE CITY AS A WHOLE
The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities:
Our analysis of the City as a whole begins on page 15. One of the most important questions asked about
the City's finances is, "Is the City as a whole better off or worse off as a result of the year's activities?"
The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities report information about the City as a whole
and about its activities in a way that answers this question. These statements include all assets and
liabilities of the City using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the accounting used by most
private -sector companies. All of the current year's revenues and expenses are taken into account
regardless of when cash is received or paid.
These two statements report the City's net assets and changes in them. Net assets are the difference
between assets and liabilities, which is one way to measure the City's financial health, or financial
position. Over time, increases or decreases in the City's net assets are an indication of whether its
financial health is improving or deteriorating. Other non -financial factors should be considered, however,
such as changes in the economy that could cause a decrease in consumer spending.
In the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities, we separate City Activities as follows:
Governmental activities — Most of the City's basic services are reported in this category, including
general administration (city manager, city clerk, finance, etc.), police and fire protection, public works,
parks & recreation, and culture departments. Property taxes, sales tax, transient occupancy tax, user
fees, interest income, franchise fees, state and federal grants, contributions from other agencies, and
other revenues finance these activities.
Business -type activities — The City charges a fee to customers to cover all or most of the cost of certain
services it provides. The City's municipal golf course, Desert Willow, and the City's Parkview Office
Complex activities are reported in this category.
Component unit activities — The City includes one separate legal entity in its report — the Palm Desert
Recreation Facilities Corporation. Although legally separate, this "component unit" is important because
the City is financially accountable for it.
REPORTING THE CITY'S MOST SIGNIFICANT FUNDS
Fund Financial Statements:
The fund financial statements provide detailed information about the most significant funds and other
funds, not the City as a whole. Some funds are required to be established by State law and by bond
covenants. However, management established many other funds to help it control and manage money
for particular purposes or to show that it is meeting legal responsibilities for using certain taxes, grants,
and other resources. The City has two types of funds: governmental and proprietary.
Governmental funds — Most of the City's basic services are reported in governmental funds, which focus
on how money flows in and out of those funds and the balances left at year-end that are available for
spending. These funds are reported using an accounting method called modified accrual accounting,
which measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash. The
governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view of the City's general government
operations and the basic services it provides. Governmental fund information helps determine whether
there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the City's
programs. The differences of results in the Governmental Fund financial statements to those in the
Government -Wide financial statements are explained in a reconciliation following each Governmental
Fund financial statement.
See independent auditors' report. - 4 -
Proprietary funds - When the City charges customers for the services it provides, these services are
generally reported in proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are reported in the same way that all activities
are reported in the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities. The City's enterprise funds
are the same as the business -type activities we report in the government -wide statements, but provide
more detail and information such as a statement of cash flows.
THE CITY AS TRUSTEE
Reporting the City's Fiduciary Responsibilities:
The City is the trustee, or fiduciary, for certain funds held on behalf of developers and its employees'
retiree service stipend fund. The City's fiduciary activities are reported in separate Statements of
Fiduciary Assets and Liabilities. We exclude these activities from the City's other financial statements
because the City cannot use these assets to finance its operations. The City is responsible for ensuring
that the assets reported in these funds are used for their intended purposes.
THE CITY AS A WHOLE
The City's combined net assets increased $4.53 million from $631.30 million to $635.83 million. A
separate review of the net change in the governmental and business -type activities is provided for the
reader. Our analysis focuses on the net assets (Table 1) and changes in net assets (Table 2) of the City's
governmental and business -type activities.

Compared to prior year, net assets of the City's governmental activities decreased by 0.2 percent, or
$1.29 million. The City's Net Assets are made up of three components: Investment in Capital Assets, Net
of Related Debt; Restricted Net Assets; and Unrestricted Net Assets. For governmental activities,
unrestricted net assets, which represent the part of net assets that can be used to finance day-to-day
operations, accounted for 19.2 percent of the overall total net assets. Unrestricted net assets decreased
$3.61 million from $110.92 million in 2010 to $107.31 million in 2011. This is an indication that the City's
Governmental Activities financial position recognized a decline from prior year. The City has $3.61 million
less of unrestricted funds that can be used to finance its operations. The decrease is attributable to
transfers out from the General Fund to establish and replenish reserve balances that are not included
under unrestricted net assets.
The increase in restricted net assets of $4.26 million was due to the following: restricted capital projects
decreased by $2.16 million due to capital projects expenses; restricted special projects increased by
$6.91 million due to the increase in the RDA Low-income Housing fund and Housing Authority fund of
$5.94 million. The majority of the capital projects for the RDA Low -Income Housing Fund were in the
design stage of construction during fiscal year 2010/2011. For fiscal year 2011/12 its capital budget
including carryover is $32.36 million; restricted debt projects decreased $0.49 million due to the SERAF
payment that was required to be made to the State of California.
Investment in capital assets, net of related debt decreased $1.94 million. Major additions included land
acquisitions of open space, infrastructure projects that include street widening and improvement projects;
aquatic center construction; and renovation of the City -owned golf resort (see Note 5).
The net assets of the business -type activities recognized an increase of $5.82 million, from $72.29 million
to $78.11 million. The major factor for this year's increase was the net effect of the capitalization of the
improvements to the Clubhouse Kitchen, Terrace and indoor dining area, and the parking lot expansion in
the amount of $6 million. Long term liabilities for Desert Willow increased by $0.71 million as a result of
$1.10 million of capital leases executed for new Golf Cart Fleet, GIPS golf cart system, and additional golf
course equipment.
The change in the City's governmental activities total assets was attributable to the decrease in current
and restricted assets. The total change in current and restricted assets was $33.07 million, with the
majority of the change coming from the reduction in cash and investments. The reduction in cash and
investments was the cause of the City and Agency starting and completing various capital projects. In
addition, the Agency was required to pay the State of California $5.26 million for its SERAF obligation and
made payments in the current year that reduced its obligation to pass -through agencies.
See independent auditors' report. - 6 -
Total liabilities decreased by $34.57 million. There was a $22 million reduction due to the retirement of
debt, and a decrease of $12.57 million in other liabilities. The decrease in other liabilities represents the
change in amounts due under pass -through agreements that decreased from $60.68 million to $44.34
million. The City's Redevelopment Agency retains funds in trust that are distributed at year end. These
funds are held on behalf of other taxing agencies related to specific pass -through agreements (see note
9).

Governmental Activities
Total revenue decreased from $153.96 million to $147.11 million, a 4.5 percent decrease. The decrease
is the result of an 8.16 percent decrease in tax increment of $7.51 million, and a $0.76 million decrease in
investment earnings. Factors that contributed to the changes in revenues are as follows:
• Decrease in tax increment due to declining assessed property values, and
• Decrease in City's earnings due to lower yields in investments related to the current economic
condition.
Total expenses decreased from $170.55 million to $142.48 million. The major factor contributing to the
change in expenses was the payment to the State of California for the SERAF obligation of $5.26 million
which is included in the payments to other agencies expenditures. The payment made in fiscal year 2010
was $25.52 million.

Business -type activities revenues increased by $0.48 million from $8.10 million to $8.58 million, a 5.9
percent increase. The overall increase was directly related to the substantial increase in the sales of the
golf resort's Platinum Card loyalty program. Management diligently marketed the platinum card program
and offered a discount during an introductory period, which motivated sales. The overall rounds mix and
play remained consistent as Desert Willow continued to work closely with wholesalers who provide a
substantial amount of play to the golf courses. Other revenues increased by Desert Willow were
increases in merchandise sales from the proshop and lessons at the golf learning center. The Parkview
Office Complex revenues remained consistent with the prior year.
Operating expenses for business -type activities increased from $8.71 million to $8.81 million, an increase
of 1.1 percent. The majority of the increase was related to general and administration expenses at the
golf resort and increased depreciation for the Parkview Office Complex. The changes implemented by
Desert Willow and the Parkview Office Complex two years ago in response to the economic downturn
have continued to keep the overall expenditures from increasing significantly.
See independent auditors' report. - 10 -
THE CITY'S FUNDS
On page 20, the governmental funds balance sheet is shown. The combined fund balance of $382.43
million decreased from $404.09 million, or 5.4 percent. This total includes the General Fund balance of
$74.22 million, which decreased by $3.35 million from prior year. The City's General Fund balance has a
nonspendable balance of $2.94 million, which includes advances, loans and notes, inventory, and prepaid
cost; $4.50 million in assigned fund balance and $66.78 million of unassigned fund balance. The change
in the General Fund's balance was due to transfers out to other funds to establish and replenish reserve
balances. Other major fund balance changes are noted below:
• The Prop A Fire Tax Fund: the fund balance decreased. In prior years, the General Fund would
transfer funds to the Prop A Fire Tax Fund to cover its shortage; however, due to budget
constraints, the City did not transfer for this year's shortage.
• The Redevelopment Agency Financing Authority Debt Service Fund: the fund balance decreased
due to its scheduled debt service payments.
• The Redevelopment Agency Debt Service Funds: the fund balance decreased due to the SERAF
payment of $5.26 million.
• The Redevelopment Agency Capital Projects Funds: the fund balance decreased due to capital
project expenditures.
• The Redevelopment Low-income Housing Special Revenue Fund: the fund balance decreased
due to the transfers out to the housing authority fund for capital replacement reserve.
More detailed information about the combined fund balance reserves is presented in Note 11 to the
financial statements.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
Based upon recommendations from the City's staff, the City Council revised the City budget several times
during the year. Adjustments were made on a monthly basis as City staff requested additional
appropriations to cover the cost of projects that either had change orders for additional work, or were
underestimated. At mid -year, adjustments were made as department heads were requested to decrease
their budgets due to declining revenues. At year-end, budgets were adjusted for unanticipated
expenditures. All amendments that either increase or decrease appropriations are approved by the City
Council.
For the City's general fund, the actual ending revenues of $44.16 million were $1.25 million more than the
final budgeted revenues of $42.91 million. Sales and transient occupancy taxes continue to be the top
two revenue generators for the City and exceed budgeted revenues by $2.20 million.
The General Fund actual ending expenditures of $47.51 million were $3.25 million less than the final
budget of $50.76 million. There were changes in the original budget compared to the final budget during
the year. The original expenditure budget was $42.91 million compared to the final budget of $50.76
million, a $7.85 million increase. The major change was due to the appropriations of an additional $5.72
million in transfers out for the establishment and replenishment of reserve.
CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital Assets
At the end of 2011, the City had $614.23 million invested in a broad range of capital assets, including
land, streets, bridges, drainage systems, traffic lights, parks, buildings, art work, vehicles and equipment
(See Table 3). This amount represents a net increase (including additions and deductions) of $4.06
million over the prior year.

The City's fiscal year 2012 capital budget calls for it to spend an additional $5.99 million plus continuing
capital projects spending of $123.26 million from prior year, with the majority being spent on street
improvements. Projects will be funded with existing bond proceeds or funds that have been designated by
an outside party for specific use. More detailed information about the City's capital assets is presented in
Note 1 d and Note 5 to the financial statements.
Debt
At year-end, the City's governmental activities had $385.91 million in bonds, notes, contracts, and
compensated absences versus $407.91 million last year, a decrease of $22 million as shown in Table 4.
The major cause for the decrease was the re -payment of principal of tax allocation bonds by the Agency.

The City was able to meet its current year debt obligation in a timely manner. Debts issued in the prior
year have been used to finance various capital projects.
The City's business -type activities debt increased by $0.71 million from $0.33 million to $1.04 million.
Debt in the business -type activities is for capital leasing of equipment. The City's golf course uses leasing
as an alternative to purchasing maintenance equipment to maintain a cash flow to operate the day-to-day
activities. The increase in the City's business -type activities debt was directly related to the new lease
contracts executed during the fiscal year for a new golf cart fleet, new GPS Golf Cart System, and new
maintenance equipment. During the next five years, the debt for the business -type activities will be fully
amortized. More detailed information about the City's long-term liabilities is presented in Note 6 to the
financial statements.
See independent auditors' report. - 13 -
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGETS
In preparing the budget for fiscal year 2012, management focused on three core principles; 1) Minimize
the impact of budget cuts to key services and maintain the level of service expected by residents,
businesses, and visitors, 2) Minimize the number of tax and fee adjustments required to maintain existing
service levels, and 3) Minimize the impact on the City's employees and avoid position reductions if
possible. The following economic factors were considered by management:
In prior years, the City had unallocated reserves in its capital projects and special revenue funds.
In the five-year capital improvement program, all restricted capital funds have been allocated to
various projects. As a result, any additional projects would require a transfer from the general
fund, which would mean a decrease to the City's unobligated general fund reserve. A detailed
analysis will be performed and a cost benefit approach will be employed before the general fund
reserves are decreased for capital improvements.
The City also considered the possibility that the Governor of California may attempt to enact
legislation to eliminate redevelopment agencies across the State to solve the State's budget
crisis. More detailed information about the City actions related to these two budget bills is
presented in Note 20 of the financial statements.
The 2012 budget is a reflection of the City's commitment to the residents of Palm Desert. The City's
conservative approach has provided for a consistently high level of services. The City has made a
commitment to allocate resources for public safety, cultural/social programs, and necessary infrastructure
improvements: A copy of the City's 2011-2012 financial plan can be obtained by contacting the City's
Finance Department or on the City's website at www.citvofpalmdesert.org.

CITY OF PALM DESERT
RECONCILIATION OF THE BALANCE SHEET OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
TO THE STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
June 30, 2011
Total fund balance for governmental funds
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Net Assets are
different because:
When capital assets (land, buildings, equipment, etc.) that are to be used in
governmental activities are purchased or constructed, the costs of those assets
are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. However, the Statement
of Net Assets includes those capital assets and contribution among the assets
of the City as a whole:
Beginning Balance, net depreciation, as restated
Current year additions
Current year deletions
Current year depreciation
Ending Balance, net depreciation
Deferred asset from derivative instruments
Long-term debt activities and compensated absences have not been included
in the governmental fund activities:
Long-term debt
Bond premium
Unamortized loss on defeasance
Compensated absences
Interest on long-term debt is not accrued in governmental funds, but rather is
recognized as an expenditure when due.
Cost of issuing bonds is recognized as an expenditure in the period paid, however,
in the Statement of Net Assets it is amortized over the life of the bond.
Liability from derivative instruments
Because the focus of governmental funds is on short-term financing, some assets
will not be available to pay for current -period expenditures. Those assets (for
example, receivables) are offset by deferred revenues in the governmental funds
and, thus, are not included in fund balance:
Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation - relates to the amount of rent
owed by component unit to City's General Fund
Community Development Block Grant - relates to loans given to low
to moderate income families
Capital reimbursement from developer for work completed by the City
on behalf of the developer
Interest that was not paid at year-end
Sales tax
Redevelopment Agency land purchase from City
Other post employment benefit asset is not available to fund current expenditures
for governmental funds and therefore is not reported as an asset in the
governmental funds.
Internal service fund are used by management to charge the costs of certain
activities, such as equipment to individual funds. The assets and liabilities
of the internal service fund must be added to the Statement of Net Assets.
Net assets of governmental activities

CITY OF PALM DESERT
RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES AND
CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVTTIES
For the year ended June 30, 2011
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are
different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the
Statement of Activities, the costs of those assets are allocated over their
estimated useful lives as a depreciation expense. This is the amount by which
capital outlays exceeded depreciation and deletions in the current period:
Current year additions
Current year deletions
Current year depreciation
Repayment of debt principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but
the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Assets.
An increase in accreted interest on bonds increases the liabilities in the Statement
of Net Assets, but does not provide resources for the fund financial statements.
Costs of issuing bonds are recognized as an expenditures in the period paid,
however, in the Statement of Net Assets, it is amortized over the life of the
bond.
Premium on bonds are recognized as reveneus in the period received, however,
in the Statement of Net Assets it is amortized over the life of the bond.
Losses on defeased bonds are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets as a
reduction to long-term liabilities and amortized over the life of the bonds.
Some expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not require the use of
current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in
governmental funds:
Net change in compensated absences for the current period
Net change in accrued interest for the current period
Net change in claims and judgments for the current period
Collection of deferred revenues is reported as revenues in governmental funds
and thus has the effect of increasing fund balances. For the City as a whole,
however, the collection of these receipts reduces the net assets in the Statement
of Net Assets and does not result in revenues in the Statement of Activities:
Deferred loans
Revenues will not be collected within 60 days of the City's fiscal year-end and,
therefore, are not considered available in the governmental funds:
Capital reimbursement revenue related to construction completed by the
City on behalf of the developer
Interest on note issued by the City
Sales tax true -up from the State
Current year change for other post employment benefit asset.
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain
activities, such as equipment. The net revenues (expenses) of the internal
service funds are reported with governmental activities.
Change in net assets of governmental activities

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
a. Description of the Reporting Entity:
The City of Palm Desert was originally incorporated on November 26, 1973, as a General Law
City. In December 1997, Measure LL was enacted following a vote by Palm Desert residents,
which adopted a City Charter. The City operates under a Council -Manager form of government
and provides the following services: public safety (police and fire), highways and streets,
public improvements, community development (planning, building and zoning) and general
administrative services.
The City has defined its reporting entity in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America which provides guidance for determining which
governmental activities, organizations and functions should be included in the reporting entity.
The Basic Financial Statements present information on the activities of the reporting entity,
which include the City of Palm Desert (the primary government) and its component units,
entities for which the government is considered financially accountable.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
component units be separated into blended or discretely presented units for reporting purposes.
The following criteria were used in determination of blended component units: appointment of
the governing board and fiscal dependence. Although legally separate entities, blended
component units are, in substance, part of the City's operations. Therefore, they are reported as
part of the primary government. Discretely presented component units are reported in a
separate column in the basic financial statements to emphasize that they are legally separate
from the City.
Blended Component Units
Following are descriptions of legally separate component units for which the City is financially
accountable that are blended with the Primary Government. The governing bodies of these
component units are substantially the same as the City.
The Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency (Agency) was established October 24, 1974, pursuant
to California Health and Safety Code Section 33000 entitled "Community Redevelopment
Law." The purpose of the Agency is to prepare and execute plans for the improvement,
rehabilitation and redevelopment of blighted areas within the limits of the City. The Agency's
transactions are reported in the governmental fund financial statements as special revenue, debt
service, and capital projects funds.
See independent auditors' report.

Blended Component Units (Continued)
The Palm Desert Housing Authority (Housing Authority) was established by the City Council
in January 1998, and is partly responsible for the administration of providing affordable
housing in the City. The Housing Authority transactions are reported in the governmental fund
financial statements under other governmental funds.
The Palm Desert Financing Authority (Financing Authority) was formed on January 26, 1989.
The purpose of the Financing Authority is to issue debt and loan the proceeds to the City and
Agency. The Financing Authority's capital related transactions are reported in the governmental
fund financial statements in the capital projects funds, and the collection of assessments and
payments of debt service is recorded in the fiduciary funds.
The City Council of Palm Desert is the governing body for the Agency, Housing Authority and
Financing Authority.
The financial statements of the Agency can be obtained at the administrative offices of the
City. Separate financial statements are not issued for the Housing Authority and Financing
Authority.
Discretely Presented Component Unit
The Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation (Corporation) was incorporated on
February 25, 1997. The purpose of the Corporation is to lease, operate and manage a restaurant
and bar in the Desert Willow Golf Course in Palm Desert, California. The Board of Directors of
the Corporation appoints an executive director to administer operations.
The Corporation is in a separate column to emphasize that it is legally separate from the City
and is financially accountable to the City. The two -member board governing the Corporation is
appointed by the City Council, the City has authority to approve the Corporation's budget, and
the City must approve any debt issued.
Complete financial statements of the Component Unit can be obtained from the City's
administrative offices.

b. Basis of Presentation:
Government -Wide Financial Statements
The government -wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement of
activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government
and its component units. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed
from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and
intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business -type activities, which rely to
a significant extent on fees and charges for support. Likewise, the primary government is
reported separately from certain legally separate component units for which the primary
government is financially accountable.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct and indirect expenses of
a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are
clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include: 1) charges
to customers or applicants who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services or
privileges provided by a given function or segment, and 2) grants and contributions that are
restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment.
Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as
general revenues. Expenses reported for functional activities include allocated indirect
expenses.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds and
fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government -wide financial
statements. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are
reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
Fund Financial Statements
The accounting system of the City is organized and operated on the basis of separate funds,
each of which is considered to be a separate accounting entity. Each fund is accounted for by
providing a separate set of self -balancing accounts that constitute its assets, liabilities, fund
equity, revenues and expenditures/expenses. Funds are organized into three major categories:
governmental, proprietary and fiduciary. An emphasis is placed on major funds within the
governmental and proprietary categories.

A fund is considered major if it is the primary operation fund of the City or meets the following
criteria:
a. Total assets, liabilities, revenues or expenditures/expenses of that individual governmental
or enterprise fund are at least 10% of the corresponding total for all funds of that category
or type; and
b. Total assets, liabilities, revenues or expenditures/expenses of the individual governmental
fund or enterprise fund are at least 5% of the corresponding total for all governmental and
enterprise funds combined.
c. The government has determined that a fund is important to the financial statement user.

for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Special Revenue Funds - Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of
specific revenue resources (other than major capital projects) that are legally restricted to
expenditures for specified purposes.
Debt Service Funds - Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources
for, and the payment of, general long-term obligation principal, interest and related costs.

The funds of the financial reporting entity are described below (Continued):
Proprietary Fund Types
Enterprise Funds - The Enterprise Funds account for operations that are financed and operated
in a manner similar to private business enterprises, where the intent of the City Council is that
the costs (expenses including depreciation) of providing goods and services to the general
public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges.
The Primary Government's Enterprise funds consist of the Parkview Office Complex and the
Desert Willow Golf Course, which are operated by a management company. The Component
Unit's Enterprise fund consists of the Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation.
Internal Service Funds - The Internal Service Fund accounts for financial transactions related to
replacement of City -owned vehicles and equipment. These services are provided to other
departments or agencies of the City on a cost reimbursement basis.
Fiduciary Fund Types
Agency Funds
The Agency, Special Assessment and Treasurers 1911 Bond Act Funds are used to account for
assets held by the City in a custodial capacity as a trustee or as an agent. These assets include
deposits placed with the City by developers, individuals and groups to obtain future services, as
well as deposits from assessment district's property owners. These deposits are reduced by
payments and/or refunds to individuals or entities at some. future time. Agency funds are
custodial in nature and do not involve measurement of results of operations.
The City's Retiree Service Stipend Fund is used to account for assets held to pay for the retiree
service stipend.

The major funds are as follows:
Governmental Funds
The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all
financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Prop A Fire Tax Special Revenue Fund is used to account for all revenues derived from tax
collected within the City for upgrading fire protection and prevention. Its use is restricted to
obtaining, furnishing, operating and maintaining fire protection and prevention services
(currently under contract with Riverside County Fire Department) equipment or apparatus. This
fund is reported as a major fund because the tax collected is a voter approved measure.
The RDA Low Income Housing Special Revenue Fund is used to account for the tax increment
set aside to be spent on projects that benefit low and moderate income families.
The Redevelopment Agency Financing Authority Debt Service Fund is used to account for the
resources and payment of the debt issued by the Palm Desert Financing Authority and loaned to
the Redevelopment Agency.
The Redevelopment Agency Debt Service Fund is used to account for resources and payments
of debt issued by the Redevelopment Agency.
The Redevelopment Agency Capital Projects Fund is used to account for the financial

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
c. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting:
Measurement focus is a term used to describe which transactions are recorded within the
various financial statements. Basis of accounting refers to when transactions are recorded
regardless of the measurement focus applied.
Measurement Focus
On the government -wide Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities, both
governmental and business -like activities are presented using the economic resources
measurement focus. The accounting objectives of the economic measurement focus are the
determination of operating income, changes in net assets (or cost recovery), financial position
and cash flows. All assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) associated with their
activities are reported.
In the fund financial statements, the "current financial resources" measurement focus or the
"economic resources" measurement focus is used as appropriate:
1. All governmental funds utilize a "current financial resources" measurement focus. Only
current financial assets and liabilities are generally included on their balance sheets. Their
operating statements present sources and uses of available spendable financial resources
during a given period. These funds use fund balance as their measure of available spendable
financial resources at the end of the period.
2. The proprietary fund utilizes an "economic resources" measurement focus. Proprietary fund
equity is classified as net assets.
3. Agency funds are not involved in the measurement of results of operations; therefore,
measurement focus is not applicable to them.
Basis of Accounting
In the government -wide Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Activities, both
governmental and business -like activities are presented using the accrual basis of accounting.
Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are
recorded when the liability is incurred or economic asset used. Revenues, expenses, gains,
losses, assets and liabilities resulting from exchange and exchange -like transactions are
recognized when the exchange takes place.
See independent auditors' report.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
c. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting (Continued):
Basis of Accounting (Continued)
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented on the modified accrual
basis of accounting. Under this modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized
when "measurable and available." Measurable means knowing or being able to reasonably
estimate the amount. Available means collectible within the current period or soon enough
thereafter to pay current liabilities.
Revenues that are susceptible to accrual include property taxes and special assessments that are
levied for and due for the fiscal year and collected within 60 days after year-end. Licenses,
permits, fines, forfeits, charges for services and miscellaneous revenues are recorded as
governmental fund type revenues when received in cash because they are not generally
measurable until actually received. Revenue from taxpayer assessed taxes, such as sales taxes,
are recognized in the accounting period in which they became both measurable and available to
pay liabilities of the current period. Grants and similar items are recognized as soon as all
eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. Expenditures generally are
recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However debt service
expenditures as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and
judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Interfund activity in the amount of $2,347,545 has been eliminated from the general
government function for the government -wide financial statements except for charges between
the government's Desert Willow Golf Course and Parkview Office Complex funds and various
other functions of the government. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs
and program revenues for the various functions considered.
The accrual basis of accounting is followed by the proprietary fund. Under the accrual basis of
accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when the liability
is incurred or economic assets are used.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items.
Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing goods and services in
connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal revenue of the
Desert Willow Golf Course and Parkview Office Complex Enterprise Funds are charges to
customers for use of the golf course and rental fees. Operating expenses for enterprise funds
include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital
assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating
revenues and expenses.
See independent auditors' report.

Basis of Accounting (Continued)
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the government's
policy to use restricted resources first, and then unrestricted -resources as they are needed.
d. Capital Assets and Depreciation:
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads,
traffic signals, drainage systems and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental
or business -type activities column in the government -wide financial statements. Capital assets
are defined by the City as assets with an initial cost of more than $500 and an estimated life in
excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if
purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at
the date of donation.
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 34, the City has reported general infrastructure assets
acquired in prior and current years.
The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or
materially extend asset lives are not capitalized.
Property, plant and equipment of the primary government, as well as the component units, are
depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings 40 years
Improvements other than buildings 20 years
Machinery and equipment 5 to 8 years
Infrastructure 20 to 75 years
e. Appropriations Limit:
Under Article XIII-B of the California Constitution (the Gann Spending Limitation Initiative),
the City is restricted as to the amount of annual appropriations from the proceeds of taxes, and
if proceeds of taxes exceed allowed appropriations, the excess must either be refunded to the
State Controller or returned to the taxpayers through revised tax rates, revised fee schedules or
other refund arrangements. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, proceeds of taxes did not
exceed appropriations.

Investments are stated at fair value (quoted market price or the best available estimate thereof).
g. Cash and Investments:
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the City has defined cash and investments to
include cash on hand, demand deposits, investments held in various instruments, and
investments held in the California Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), California Asset
Management Program (CAMP), Riverside County Treasurer's Pooled Investment Fund and
Rabobank.
h. Employee Compensated Absences:
It is the government's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation
and sick leave (compensated absences). Vacation pay and sick leave, which are expected to be
liquidated with expendable available resources, are reported as expenditure and liability of the
governmental fund that will pay it only if they have matured, for example, as a result of
employee resignations or retirements. Compensated absences in the amount of $2,327,599,
which are not expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources, are
reported as long-term liabilities.
i. Property Held for Resale:
The Agency purchased land within the Agency's project area. The land held for resale is
recorded in the Redevelopment Agency Low Income Housing Special Revenue Fund and Other
Governmental Funds as property held for resale at the lower of acquisition cost or net
realizable value. At June 30, 2011, the cost of the property held for resale for various housing
properties in Palm Desert totaled $2,983,412.

Inventory in the amount of $220,236 and $45,349 for the Desert Willow Golf Course
Enterprise Fund (Primary Government) and Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation
(Component Unit), respectively, are stated at lower of cost or market with cost determined
using the weighted average cost method. Inventory in the amount of $25,631 in the general
fund and Other Governmental Funds are stated at cost. Inventory is recorded as an expenditure
when consumed rather than purchased.
Certain payments to vendors that reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods are
recorded as prepaid costs in the government -wide and fund financial statements.
k. Property Tax Calendar:
Property taxes are assessed and collected each fiscal year according to the following property
tax calendar:
Lien date:
Levy date:
Due date:
Delinquent date:

July 1 to June 30
November 1 - 1 st Installment
March 1 - 2nd Installment
December 10 - 1 st Installment
April 10 - 2nd Installment
Under California law, property taxes are assessed and collected by the counties up to 1% of
assessed value, plus other increases approved by the voters. The property taxes go into a pool
and are then allocated to the cities based on complex formulas prescribed by state statutes. The
City accrues only those taxes, which are received within 60 days after the year-end. The City is
a participant in the Teeter Plan under the California Revenue and Taxation Code. The County
of Riverside has responsibility for the collection of delinquent taxes and the City receives
100% of the levy.
1. Restricted Assets:
Certain proceeds of debt issues, as well as certain resources set aside for their repayment, are
classified as restricted assets on the balance sheet because they are maintained in separate
trustee bank accounts and their use is limited to applicable bond covenants. In addition, funds
have been restricted for future capital improvements by City resolution.

2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED):
Deposits
At June 30, 2011, the carrying amount of the City's deposits was $2,042,744, and the bank balance
was $2,575,222. The $(532,478) difference represents outstanding checks and other reconciling
items.
The California Government Code requires California banks and savings and loan associations to
secure an Entity's deposits by pledging government securities with a value of 110% of an Entity's
deposits. California law also allows financial institutions to secure deposits by pledging first trust
deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of total deposits. The City Treasurer may waive the
collateral requirement for deposits that are fully insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC. The
collateral for deposits in federal and state chartered banks is held in safekeeping by an authorized
Agent of Depository recognized by the State of California Department of Banking. The collateral
for deposits with savings and loan associations is generally held in safekeeping by the Federal
Home Loan Bank in San Francisco, California as an Agent of Depository. These securities are
physically held in an undivided pool for all California public agency depositors. Under
Government Code Section 53655, the placement of securities by a bank or savings and loan
association with an Agent of Depository has the effect of perfecting the security interest in the
name of the local governmental agency. Accordingly, all collateral held by California Agents of
Depository are considered to be held for, and in the name of, the local governmental agency.
Investments
Under provision of the City's investment policy and in accordance with the California Government
Code, the following investments are authorized:
• United States Treasury bills, notes, bonds or certificates of indebtedness
• United States government -sponsored agency obligations, participations or other instruments
• Banker's Acceptances issued by commercial banks
• Commercial Paper issued by general corporations
• Negotiable Certificates of Deposits, issued by a nationally or state -chartered bank, a savings
association, a federal association or by a state -licensed branch of a foreign bank
• Time Certificates of Deposit issued by qualified public depositories.
• Repurchase Agreements sold by authorized brokers
• Medium -Term Notes issued by corporations organized and operating in the United States, or by
depository institutions operating in the United States and licensed by the United States or by
any state

GASB Statement No. 31
The City adopted GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain
Investments and for External Investment Pools, as of July 1, 1997. GASB Statement No. 31
establishes fair value standards for investments in participating interest earning investment
contracts, external investment pools, equity securities, option contracts, stock warrants and stock
rights that have readily determinable fair values.
Credit Risk
The City Treasurer is authorized under state and municipal law to invest in various types of
securities that meet specified credit quality standards, based upon credit risk ratings assigned by
Standard and Poors (S&P) or by Moody's Investor Services (Moody's). Permissible City
investments include medium -term notes that are rated "A" or higher at time of purchase;
commercial paper that is rated "A-1" or the equivalent; money market mutual funds that are rated
"AAA"; and United States Government and Federal Agency securities (the quality of United States
Treasury securities is not analyzed since they are not deemed to have credit risk).
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the
holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required, when
applicable, by the California Government Code, the City's investment policy, or debt agreements,
and the Standard and Poor's rating as of year-end for each investment type.

Custodial Credit Risk
The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository
financial institution, a government will not be able to recover deposits or will not be able to recover
collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for the
investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, a
government will not be able to recover the value of investment or collateral securities that are in
the possession of an outside party.
As of June 30, 2011, none of the City's deposits or investments were exposed to custodial credit
risk.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The City's investment policy imposes restrictions on the percentage the City can invest in certain
types of investments, which the City is in compliance. As of June 30, 2011, in accordance with
GASB Statement no. 40, if the city has invested more than 5% of its total investments in any one
issuer then they are exposed to concentration of credit risk. The following investments are
considered to be exposed to concentration of credit risk:

Interest Rate Risk
The City's investment policy limits investment maturities as a means of managing its exposure to
fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates. The City's investment policy states that the
City shall not invest in securities with maturities exceeding five years and the weighted -average
maturity of the City portfolio shall not exceed 540 days. The City has elected to use the segmented
time distribution method of disclosure for its interest rate risk.

Investment in California Asset Management Program
The California Asset Management Program (CAMP) is a public joint powers authority which
provides California Public Agencies with investment management services for surplus funds and
comprehensive investment management, accounting and arbitrage rebate calculation services for
proceeds of tax-exempt financings. The CAMP currently offers the Cash Reserve Portfolio, a
short-term investment portfolio, as a means for Public Agencies to invest these funds. Public
Agencies that invest in the Pool (Participants) purchase shares of beneficial interest. Participants
may also establish individual, professionally managed investment accounts (Individual Portfolios)
by separate agreement with the Investment Advisor.
Investments in the Pools and Individual Portfolios are made only in investments in which Public
Agencies generally are permitted by California statute. The CAMP may reject any investment and
may limit the size of a Participant's account. The Pool seeks to maintain, but does not guarantee, a
constant net asset value of $1.00 per share. A Participant may withdraw funds from its Pool
accounts at any time by check or wire transfers. Requests for wire transfers must be made by
9:00 a.m. that day. Fair value of the Pool is determined by the fair value per share of the Pool's
underlying portfolio.
Investment in Riverside County Treasurer's Pooled Investment Fund
The City is a voluntary participant in the Riverside County Treasurer's Pooled Investment Fund
(Pooled Fund). The fair value of the City's investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying
financial statements at amounts based upon the City's pro-rata share of the fair value that the
Riverside County Treasurer's Office has provided for the entire Pooled Fund (in relation to the
amortized cost of that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based upon the
accounting records that the Riverside County Treasurer's Office maintains, which are recorded on
an amortized cost basis.
Investment in Rabobank Money Market Accounts
The City has money market accounts (MMAs) with Rabobank, N.A. These accounts are the
financial obligations of the bank, and are collateralized with government securities at 110 percent
of the balance on deposit pursuant to California Government Code Section 53652, with a third
party custodian holding the collateral.

3. RECEIVABLES:
Primary Government's Governmental Funds
Notes and Loans Receivable:
On August 8, 2006, the City Palm Desert issued $3,165,000 of Limited Obligation Bonds. The
proceeds of the Bonds will be used to finance the construction of the utility undergrounding and
pay the cost of issuance. The debt service on the bonds is to be paid by assessments secured on the
property tax rolls of those properties benefiting from the improvements. Bond maturities began
September 2, 2007, and continue annually through 2036. The interest rates of the bonds range from
3.85% to 5.15%. The City of Palm Desert is the only bondholder on record for the bonds and
reports a receivable in the general fund that corresponds to the outstanding principal on the bonds.
As of June 30, 2011, the receivable balance was $1,658,000.
On April 21, 2003, the Agency entered into a loan agreement with The Regents of the University
of California, on behalf of its Riverside Campus, to loan various amounts over a period of time, not
to exceed an aggregate amount of $2,000,000. Proceeds of the loan are to be used for capital
improvements at the University's Riverside Campus. The outstanding principal balance and
interest on the note is due in five annual payments beginning on July 15, 2009. As of
June 30, 2011, the amount outstanding on the loan is $1,200,000.
The City has $13,310 and the Agency has $26,045 in home improvement loans. Payments of
interest and principal are due monthly on these loans.
The City entered into several individual loan agreements with residents of the Highlands Utility
Undergrounding Assessment District No. 04-01. The loans were issued by the City to pay off the
principal of the respective properties assessment. In turn, the residents agreed to pay to the City the
full cost of the loan amount plus any accrued interest at a rate of 5.35%. The full amount of the
loan along with all accrued interest is due and payable at the earliest of September 2, 2036 or any
change in ownership of the property. At June 30, 2011 the total receivable from the Highlands
Deferral Loan Program is $140,739.
A loan receivable for the construction of a multi -family affordable housing development dated
June 14, 2001, with a balance of $7,298,547 is due from the Palm Desert Development Company.
The loan is secured by a Deed of Trust with assignment to property, rent and fixtures on the
housing development located in Palm Desert. Interest is earned and due annually at a rate of 1%
per annum from the date on which the final certificate of occupancy is issued. Principal on the loan
is based on the applicable agency's percentage of positive net cash flow derived from the
operations of the Development.

On August 28, 2008 the City Council approved through resolution the Energy Independence
Program (EIP), which is supported by Senate Bill AB811. The EIP program allowed the City to
create the funding mechanism to assist the residents and businesses entering into a loan agreement
with the City and providing the money for the borrowers to acquire and install energy efficient
improvements. Senate Bill AB811 allows the City to lien the properties through annual property
tax assessments for a period not to exceed 20 years. To date, 168 residents and business owners
entered into loan agreements with the City and have completed their improvements through the
EIP program. The loans are payable in two annual installments for a period of 5 years to 20 years
at an interest rate of 7% annually. On June 30, 2011 the outstanding loans receivable through the
EIP Program was $5,404,076.
On January 13, 2011 the City Council approved a loan in the amount of $102,300 with the
Coachella Valley Water District for the relocation of water lines and installation of siphons. The
loan provided is interest -free and principal is due within the first quarter of the 2011-2012 fiscal
year which begins on July 1, 2011.
The Agency has issued loans for several other projects, all of which are secured by a deed of trust.
A valuation allowance equal to the loan balance has been recognized since there is a significant
possibility that these loans will either become uncollectible or forgiven by the Agency at a future
date if all the terms of the loans have been met.

Special Assessment Debt with Government Commitment
Highlands Undergrounding Assessment District No. 04-01, Limited Obligation Improvement
Bonds, Series 2006
On August 8, 2006, the City Palm Desert issued $3,165,000 of Limited Obligation Bonds. The
proceeds of the Bonds will be used to finance the construction of the utility undergrounding and
pay the cost of issuance. The debt service on the bonds is to be paid by assessments secured on the
property tax rolls of those properties benefiting from the improvements. In the event that
assessment collections are insufficient to pay the debt service, the City has a potential obligation to
provide additional funds to pay the debt service, therefore these bonds are reported as special
assessment debt with government commitment. Bond maturities begin September 2, 2007, and
continue annually through 2036. The interest rates of the bonds range from 3.85% to 5.15%. The
City of Palm Desert is the only bondholder on record of the bonds.
The future debt service requirements on the Highlands Undergrounding Assessment District
No. 04-01, Limited Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2006 are as follows:

Tax Allocation bonds used for capital improvements are special obligations of the Agency and the
Financing Authority (a component unit of the Agency) and are secured by an irrevocable pledge of
tax revenues and other funds as provided under the Bond Resolution. The bonds and any interest
thereon are not a debt of the City, the State of California or any of its political subdivisions, and
neither the City, the State of California nor any of its political subdivisions is liable on the bonds,
nor in any event shall the bonds and interest thereon be payable out of any funds or properties other
than those provided under the Bond Resolution. The Agency purchased insurance from Ambac
Assurance Corporation (Ambac) and MBIA Insurance Corporation (MBIA) for the purpose of
enhancing the creditworthiness of the bonds.

Tax Allocation Bonds (Continued)
On November 8, 2010, Ambac Financial Group, Inc. ("Ambac Group"), whose principal operating
subsidiary, Ambac Assurance Corporation, is a guarantor of public finance and structured finance
obligations, announced that it filed for a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code ("Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York ("Bankruptcy Court"). Ambac Group will continue to operate in the ordinary
course of business as "debtor -in -possession" under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in
accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the Bankruptcy
Court.
On February 18, 2009, MBIA announced the restructuring of its financial guaranty insurance
operations into two separately capitalized sister companies, with one entity (MBIA Illinois) assuming
the risk associated with its US municipal exposures, and the other (MBIA Corp) insuring the remainder
of the portfolio. Subsequent to the restructuring of MBIA, Moody's Ratings assigned ratings to the
reinsured municipal securities based on the higher of (a) the insurance financial strength rating of
MBIA Illinois, to `Baal'; or (b) the published underlying rating. Susequent to the restructuring of
MBIA, S&P assigned its insurance financial strength rating of MBIA Illinois to `AA -minus'. Effective
March 19, 2009, MBIA Illinois was renamed National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation
("NPFGC").
National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation (formerly MBIA Illinois), an insurance subsidiary of
MBIA, which assumes the risk associated with U.S. municipal exposures, has financial strength credit
ratings of "BBB (Developing)/Baal (Developing)".
Pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 33670, the total number of dollars of taxes
which may be divided and allocated to the Agency for Project Area No. 1 is $500,000,000, and it is
estimated that the cap will be reached in the year 2022. Project Area No. 4's total is $600,000,000, and
it is estimated that this cap will be reached in the year 2034. The result of reaching the cap limits
would preclude the Agency from receiving taxes and using the taxes to pay debt in these project areas,
thereby requiring the Agency to call bonds prior to those dates. As of June 30, 2011, the Agency has
transferred $6,298,846 to its trustee to cover debt payments.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("Standard & Poor's") has lowered its underlying rating from "A"
to "A-" on the following issues of bonds issued by the Authority: (i) the Authority's Tax Allocation
Revenue Bonds (Project Area No. 1, as Amended), 2006 Series A (the "2006A Authority Bonds"), (ii)
the Authority's Tax Allocation Refunding Revenue Bonds (Project Area No. 1, as Amended), 2006
Series B (Taxable) (the "2006B Authority Bonds", and together with the 2006A Authority Bonds, the
"2006 Authority Bonds"), and (iii) the Authority's Tax Allocation Refunding Revenue Bonds (Project
Area No. 1, as Amended), 2007 Series A (the "2007 Authority Bonds").

In March 2002, the Palm Desert Financing Authority issued $22,070,000 of Tax Allocation
Refunding Revenue Bonds (Project Area No. 1, as amended) 2002 Series A. The proceeds from the

loan was used to prepay the prior loan, which affected the current refunding of a like portion of the
prior bonds. The remainder was used to fund various redevelopment capital projects of the Agency
in Project Area No. 1. The bonds consist of $10,905,000 term bonds at 5.00% due April 1, 2025,
and $11,165,000 term bonds at 5.10% due April 1, 2030. Interest is payable semi-annually on

The Agency entered into a cooperation agreement with the County of Riverside on
December 15, 1987, regarding the adoption of the Agency's Project Area No. 2. The agreement
states that the Agency was to retain 50% of the County's share of tax increment. This was based on
the County's share of tax increment being what would be allocated to the County in the absence of
a redevelopment project area being adopted.
This agreement called for the Agency to retain 50% of the County's share until the gross increment
reached $3,500,000. The agreement further states that when gross increment reaches $10,000,000,
the Agency would repay the 50% of the retained County's share of increment in equal payments
over a 10-year period.
The gross increment reached the $3,500,000 limit in fiscal year 1991-1992. The Agency reached
the $10,000,000 limit in fiscal year 2002-2003. The total amount owed to the County at

As of June 30, 2011, the fair value of $171,598 is reported as a deferred asset from derivative
instruments and a liability from derivative instruments in the Statements of Net Assets.
Credit Risk:
As of June 30, 2011, the City was exposed to credit risk because the swap had a negative fair value.
However, should interest rates change and the fair value of the swap becomes positive, the City
would not be exposed to credit risk in the amount of the derivative's fair value.
The swaps counterparty, Wells Fargo Bank N.A., have the following credit ratings:
Wells Fargo Bank N.A.
Basis Risk:
Standards

Moody's

The swaps do expose the City to basis risk, which refers to a mismatch between the interest rate
received from the swap contract and the interest paid on the variable rate payments to be made on
the debt. The City pays the counterparty a variable interest rate ranged between 1.93% and 5.25%
and receives a variable rate in excess of the 5.25% cap, based on the 1 month UDS-LIBOR-BBA.
The City is at risk that the variable interest rate calculated on the debt is less than the floor
of 1.93%.

Termination Risk:
The swaps may be terminated by the City or the counterparty if the other party fails to perform
under the terms of the swap agreements. In addition, the City has the option to terminate the swaps
upon proper notification to the counterparty. If the swaps are terminated, the City would
prospectively pay the variable rates on the portion of the outstanding bonds related to the swap
agreements. The termination of the swap agreements could therefore increase the City's total debt
service. Also, if at the time of the termination, the swaps have a negative fair value, the City would
be liable to the counterparty for a payment equal to such negative fair value. As of June 30, 2011
the swap had a negative fair value of $171,598.
Swap Payments and Associated Debt:
Using a variable rate range between 1.93% and 5.25% the Series 2009 Financing Authority Energy

until termination, retirement, death or unforeseeable emergency. Pursuant to changes in August
1996, of IRC Section 457, in January 1997, the City established a trust in which all assets held by
Nationwide Retirement Solutions, Inc. (NRS) and ICMA Retirement Corporation (ICMA) were
placed. The City does not have fiduciary responsibility for the plan assets held by NRS and ICMA.
The assets, all property and rights purchased with such amounts and all income attributable to such
amounts are held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the participants and the beneficiaries. The
assets are no longer the property of the City, and as such, are no longer subject to the claims of the
City's general creditors. As a result, the assets in the amount of $9,818,933 held by NRS and
ICMA of the 457 Plan are not reflected in the City's financial statements.
9. AMOUNTS DUE UNDER REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY PASS -THROUGH AGREEMENTS:
Property taxes related to the incremental increase in assessed values after the adoption of the
Redevelopment Plan are, except where otherwise provided by specific agreement, allocated to the
Agency. All taxes on the "frozen" assessed valuation of the property are allocated to the City and
other taxing agencies. The Agency has entered into various pass -through agreements with other tax
agencies to allocate their tax increment resulting from the increase in assessed values after the
adoption of the Redevelopment Plan.

10. PENSION PLAN:
a. Plan Description:
The City of Palm Desert contributes to the California Public Employees Retirement System
(PERS), an agent multiple -employer public employee defined benefit pension plan. PERS
provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost -of -living adjustments and death benefits
to plan members and beneficiaries. PERS acts as a common investment and administrative
agent for participating public entities within the State of California. Benefit provisions and all
other requirements are established by state statute and city ordinance. Copies of PERS' annual
financial report may be obtained from their executive office: 400 Q Street,
Sacramento, CA 95814.

10. PENSION PLAN (CONTINUED):
b. Funding Policy:
Participants are required to contribute 8% of their annual covered salary. The City contributes
7% of the required employee contribution on their behalf and the employee contributes the
remaining 1 %. The City is required to contribute at an actuarially determined rate; the rate for
fiscal year 2010-2011, was 19.412% for non -safety employees of annual covered payroll. The
contribution requirements of plan members and the City are established and may be amended
by PERS.
c. Annual Pension Cost:
For 2011, the City's annual pension cost of $3,432,588 for PERS was equal to the City's
required and actual contributions. The required contribution was determined as part of the
June 30, 2008, actuarial valuation using the entry age normal actuarial cost method. The
actuarial assumptions included: a) 7.75% investment rate of return (net of administrative
expenses), b) projected annual salary increases of 3.25% to 14.45% depending on age, service
and type of employment, and c) 3.25% per year cost -of -living adjustments. Both a) and
b) included an inflation component of 3.00%. The actuarial value of PERS' assets was
determined using techniques that smooth the effects of short-term volatility in the market value
of investments over a three-year period (smoothed market value). PERS' unfunded actuarial
accrued liability is being amortized as a level percentage of projected payroll on a closed basis
that depends on the plan's entry into PERS. The remaining amortization period was 20 years.

$26.67 million. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan)
was $13.49 million, and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 197.74%.

Fund Balance (Continued)
The City has implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 54, "Fund
Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions", for the year ended June 30, 2011.
The fund balances reported on the fund statements now consist of the following categories:
Nonspendable - This classification includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either
(a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
Restricted - This classification includes amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes
stipulated by constitution, external resource providers or through enabling legislation.
Committed - This classification includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes
determined by a formal action of the government's highest level of decision -making authority.
Assigned - This classification includes amounts to be used by the government for specific purposes
but do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed. In governmental funds, other
than the general fund, assigned fund balance represents the remaining amount that is not restricted
or committed.
Unassigned - This classification includes the residual balance for the government's general fund
and includes all spendable amounts not contained in other classifications. In other funds, the
unassigned classification is used only to report a deficit balance resulting from overspending for
specific purposes for which amounts had been restricted, committed or assigned.
When an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund
balances are available, the City's policy is to apply restricted fund balance first.
When an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which committed, assigned or unassigned fund
balances are available, the City's policy is to apply committed fund balance first, then assigned
fund balance, and finally unassigned fund balance.

12. RISK MANAGEMENT:
a. Description of Self -Insurance Pool Pursuant to Joint Powers Agreement:
The City of Palm Desert is a member of the CALIFORNIA JOINT POWERS INSURANCE
AUTHORITY (Authority). The Authority is composed of 121 California public entities and is
organized under a joint powers agreement pursuant to California Government Code §6500 et
seq. The purpose of the Authority is to arrange and administer programs for the pooling of
self -insured losses, to purchase excess insurance or reinsurance, and to arrange for group
purchased insurance for property and other lines of coverage. The California JPIA began
covering claims of its members in 1978. Each member government has an elected official as
its representative on the Board of Directors. The Board operates through a nine -member
Executive Committee.
b. Self -Insurance Programs of the Authority:
A revised cost allocation methodology was introduced in 2010-11, however it retains many
elements of the previous cost allocation methodology. Each member pays an annual
contribution (formerly called the primary deposit) to cover estimated losses for the coverage
period. This initial funding is paid at the beginning of the coverage period. After the close of
the coverage period, outstanding claims are valued. A retrospective deposit computation is
then conducted annually thereafter until all claims incurred during the coverage period are
closed on a pool -wide basis. This subsequent cost re -allocation among members based on
actual claim development can result in adjustments of either refunds or additional deposits
required.
See independent auditors' report.

12. RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED):
b. Self -Insurance Programs of the Authority (Continued):
The total funding requirement for self-insurance programs is estimated using actuarial models
and pre -funded through the annual contribution. Costs are allocated to individual agencies
based on exposure (payroll) and experience (claims) relative to other members of the risk -
sharing pool. Additional information regarding the cost allocation methodology is provided
below.
General Liability
In the liability program claims are pooled separately between police and non -police exposures.
(1) The payroll of each member is evaluated relative to the payroll of other members. A
variable credibility factor is determined for each member, which establishes the weight applied
to payroll and the weight applied to losses within the formula. (2) The first layer of losses
includes incurred costs up to $30,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of
the pool's total incurred costs within the first layer. (3) The second layer of losses includes
incurred costs from $30,000 to $750,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage
of the pool's total incurred costs within the second layer. (4) Incurred costs in excess of
$750,000 up to the reinsurance attachment point of $5 million are distributed based on the
outcome of cost allocation within the first and second loss layers. (5) Costs of covered claims
from $5 million to $10 million are paid under a reinsurance contract subject to a $2.5 million
annual aggregate deductible. Costs of covered claims from $10 million to $15 million are paid
under two reinsurance contracts subject to a combined $3 million annual aggregate deductible.
On a cumulative basis for all 2010-11 reinsurance contracts the annual aggregate deductible is
$5.5 million. (6) Costs of covered claims from $15 million up to $50 million are covered -
through excess insurance policies.
The overall coverage limit for each member including all layers of coverage is $50 million per
occurrence.
Costs of covered claims for subsidence losses are paid by reinsurance and excess insurance
with a pooled sub -limit of $35 million per occurrence. This $35 million subsidence sub -limit is
composed of (a) $5 million retained within the pool's SIR, (b) $10 million in reinsurance and
(c) $20 million in excess insurance. The excess insurance layer has a $20 million annual
aggregate.

Workers' Compensation
In the workers' compensation program claims are pooled separately between public safety
(police and fire) and non-public safety exposures. (1) The payroll of each member is evaluated
relative to the payroll of other members. A variable credibility factor is determined for each
member, which establishes the weight applied to payroll and the weight applied to losses
within the formula. (2) The first layer of losses includes incurred costs up to $50,000 for each
occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool's total incurred costs within the first
layer. (3) The second layer of losses includes incurred costs from $50,000 to $100,000 for each
occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool's total incurred costs within the second
layer. (4) Incurred costs in excess of $100,000 up to the reinsurance attachment point of $2
million are distributed based on the outcome of cost allocation within the first and second loss
layers. (5) Costs of covered claims from $2 million up to statutory limits are paid under a
reinsurance policy. Protection is provided per statutory liability under California Workers'
Compensation Law.
Employer's Liability losses are pooled among members to $2 million. Coverage from $2
million to $4 million is purchased as part of a reinsurance policy, and Employer's Liability
losses from $4 million to $10 million are pooled among members.
c. Purchased Insurance:
Property Insurance
The City of Palm Desert participates in the all-risk property protection program of the
Authority. This insurance protection is underwritten by several insurance companies. City of
Palm Desert property is currently insured according to a schedule of covered property
submitted by the City of Palm Desert to the Authority. City of Palm Desert property currently
has all-risk property insurance protection in the amount of $184,654,940. There is a $5,000
deductible per occurrence except for non -emergency vehicle insurance which has a $1,000
deductible. Premiums for the coverage are paid annually and are not subject to retrospective
adjustments.
Crime Insurance
The City of Palm Desert purchases crime insurance coverage in the amount of $10,000,000
with a $2,500 deductible. The fidelity coverage is provided through the Authority. Premiums
are paid annually and are not subject to retrospective adjustments.

c. Purchased Insurance (Continued):
Special Event Tenant User Liability Insurance
The City of Palm Desert further protects against liability damages by requiring tenant users of
certain property to purchase low-cost tenant user liability insurance for certain activities on
agency property. The insurance premium is paid by the tenant user and is paid to the City of
Palm Desert according to a schedule. The City of Palm Desert then pays for the insurance.
The insurance is arranged by the Authority.
d. Adequacy of Protection:
During the past three fiscal (claims) years, none of the above programs of protection
experienced settlements or judgments that exceeded pooled or insured coverage. There were
also no significant reductions in pooled or insured liability coverage from coverage in 2010-11.
13. DEFERRED REVENUES AND UNEARNED REVENUES:
Major Governmental Funds
General Fund:
On March 13, 1997, the Redevelopment Agency (Agency) purchased land from the City for the
purpose of developing a second golf course financed by a note in the amount of $2,055,000. The
note has no specific due date and carries an interest rate that equates the rate of return the City
receives on its investment with the Local Agency Investment Fund (0.448% at June 30, 2011).
Recognition of the revenue from the sale has been deferred until it becomes available.
On March 13, 1997, the City entered into an agreement with subsequent amendments on June 4,
1997, May 18, 2004, and May 12, 2009, with the Palm Desert Recreational Facilities Corporation
(Corporation) for the use of property at the City's Golf Resort (Desert Willow). Payment is due
when the Corporation's revenues exceed its expenses. At June 30, 2011, the Corporation owed the
City rent totaling $285,000, which will be recognized as revenue by the City when the rent is paid
by the Corporation.
The State of California collects taxes and fees for the City and makes payments to the City at
various times. Due to the City's policy of recognizing revenue, the amount of $469,846 for sales
tax has been deferred.

Employees with at least 5 years of service, not meeting the eligibility requirements for the
stipend program, who retire simultaneously from the City and CalPERS are eligible to continue
medical coverage through the CalPERS Health Plan. The City is required to pay the CalPERS
minimum employer contribution ($105 in 2010 and $108 in 2011) for these employees.
b. Funding Policy:
The contribution requirements of plan members and the City are established and may be
amended by the City, City Council, and/or the employee associations. Currently, contributions
are not required from plan members. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the City
contributed $762,588 to the plan, which included $427,636 of the annual required contribution
and $334,952 pay-as-you-go premiums. The purpose of these contributions is to cover the
required City contribution rate of 6.60% of annual covered payroll (annual payroll of active
employees covered by the plan) and to prefund benefits. As a result, the City calculated and
recorded a Net OPEB Asset, representing the difference between the Annual Required
Contribution (ARC) and actual contributions, as presented below:

The contribution rate of 5.20% is based on the ARC of $427,636, an amount actuarially determined
in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level of
funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis is projected to cover the annual normal cost and the

d. Funded Status and Funding Progress:
As of July 1, 2009, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the plan was 84.04% funded. The
actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $8.23 million, and the actuarial value of assets was
$6.92 million, resulting in an unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) of $1.31 million.
The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was
$12.45 million, and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 10.55%.
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and
assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include
assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts
determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the
City are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and
new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as
required supplementary information following the notes to basic financial statements, presents
multi -year trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or
decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits.
e. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions:
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan and
include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation. The actuarial methods and
assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term
volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets consistent with the
long-term perspective of the calculations.
In the July 1, 2009 actuarial valuation, the entry age normal actuarial cost method was used.
The actuarial assumptions included a 7.75% investment rate of return (net of administrative
expenses) and an initial annual healthcare cost trend rate of 10%, reduced by decrements to an
ultimate rate of 5% after ten years. A 3.25% annual rate of increase in future salaries is also
assumed in the valuation. The City's unfunded actuarial accrued liability will be amortized as
a level percentage of projected covered payroll on a closed basis. The amortization period at
July 1, 2009, was twenty-eight years.

The City has Special Assessment Bonds Payable issued under the 1911 and 1915, Special
Improvement Acts and the 1982 Mello -Roos Community Facilities Act (1982 Bonds). The City has
no liability to 1911 Act bondholders until assessments have been collected from the property
owner. Such liability is then recorded in the Agency Funds. Therefore, the 1911 Bonds are not
recorded as liabilities in the accompanying financial statements.
The City also has no liability to the 1915 Act bondholders or the bondholders of bonds issued
under the 1982 Mello -Roos Community Facilities Act until assessments are collected on the tax
rolls. However, the City may take certain actions to assume secondary liability for all or part of
1915 Act Bonds and the 1982 Bonds until such time as foreclosure proceedings are consummated.
Special assessment bonds payable, as described below, and are not recorded as long-term
liabilities, as these obligations do not constitute a debt or obligation of the City.
2003 Assessment Revenue Bonds
In June 2003, the Palm Desert Financing Authority issued $4,423,000 in 2003 Assessment
Revenue Bonds. The proceeds were used to purchase three series of limited obligation
improvement bonds issued by the City in connection with the financing and refinancing of certain
improvements of benefit to property within the City's Assessment District No. 94-2 (Sunterrace),
Assessment District No. 94-3 (Merano) and Silver Spur Ranch Utility Undergrounding Assessment

Pursuant to AB 26 4x, a budget trailer bill, California redevelopment agencies were required to
make SERAF contributions totaling $1.7 billion for the fiscal year 2009-2010 and $350 million for
the fiscal year 2010-2011. Under AB 26 4x, agencies may borrow a portion of the required
contributions from their low and moderate income housing fund. Alternatively, sponsoring
governmental agencies (the cities or counties) may elect to pay the SERAF contributions on behalf
of their redevelopment agencies. On October 20, 2009, the CRA filed a class action lawsuit in
behalf of all California redevelopment agencies, again challenging the SERAF obligations as
unconstitutional. On May 13, 2010, the Superior Court found in favor of the State relative to the
class action suit.
The Agency's SERAF contributions for fiscal year 2009-2010 was $25,526,215. The Agency
borrowed funds from the low and moderate income housing fund to make this payment. The
SERAF contribution for fiscal year 2010-2011 made by the Agency totaled $5,255,397.

20. RECENT CHANGES IN LEGISLATION AFFECTING CALIFORNIA REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCIES:
As part of the State Budget for fiscal year 2011-2012, Governor Brown signed two bills, AB X1 26
and AB X1 27, on June 29, 2011, affecting redevelopment agencies throughout the State of
California. Upon its effectiveness on June 29, 2011, AB X1 26 immediately prohibited
redevelopment agencies from engaging in most activities (including, but not limited to, the
incurrence of new debt, the execution of new contracts and the modification of existing contracts).
Furthermore, pursuant to AB X1 26, a redevelopment agency would be dissolved on
October 1, 2011, unless the city (or the county, as the case may be) that activated the
redevelopment agency timely enacted an ordinance (an "AB X1 27 Ordinance") to opt into the
"Alternative Voluntary Redevelopment Program" ("AVRP") and agreed to make specified annual
payments to the county auditor -controller for allocation to special districts and educational entities.
Pursuant to AB X1 27, as long as the city is a participant in the AVRP, the redevelopment agency
would be exempt from most of the provisions of AB X1 26 and be permitted to continue and carry
on redevelopment activities.
On July 18, 2011, the California Redevelopment Association (the "CRA") and the League of
California Cities (the "League") filed a petition with the California Supreme Court, requesting the
Court to review the constitutionality of AB X1 26 and AB X1 27 (California Redevelopment Assn.
v. Matosantos, 5194861) (the "CRA Lawsuit"). The CRA and the League also requested the
Supreme Court to issue a stay of the implementation of AB X1 26 and AB X1 27, pending the
Court's disposition of the CRA Lawsuit. On August 11, 2011, the Supreme Court issued a stay
order (the "Stay Order"), which was modified on August 17, 2011. The Supreme Court granted a
stay of portions of AB X1 26 and AB X1 27. The provisions that allow a redevelopment agency to
continue carrying on redevelopment activities, if the city has adopted an AB X1 27 Ordinance, are
subject to the stay.
The City Council of the City of Palm Desert adopted Ordinance No. 1227 on September 8, 2011,
opting into the AVRP in order to provide for the continuation of the Palm Desert Redevelopment
Agency. However, because of the effect of the Stay Order, the authority for the Agency to engage
in most activities, as of the date of this report, continues to be in suspension. The initial payment
by the City is estimated to be $20.5 million with one half due on January 15, 2012 and the other
half due May 15, 2012. The amounts to be paid for the fiscal year 2012-13 and succeeding years
have yet to be determined. The semi-annual payments will be due on January 15 and May 15 of
each year and would increase or decrease with changes in tax increment. Additionally, an increased
amount would be due to schools if any "new debt" is incurred. Assembly Bill X1 27 allows a
one-year reprieve on the Agency's obligation to contribute 20% of tax increment to the low- and
moderate -income housing fund.
See independent auditors' report.

20. RECENT CHANGES IN LEGISLATION AFFECTING CALIFORNIA REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCIES (CONTINUED):
The City and Agency have entered into a reimbursement agreement and the reprieve on the
Agency's obligation to contribute to housing will assist the Agency to assemble sufficient funds to
reimburse the City for the initial payments. Failure to make these payments would require agencies
to be terminated under the provisions of AB X1 26.
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on November 10, 2011, but has not issued its decision as
of the date of this report. It is uncertain whether the Supreme Court will strike down, uphold or
modify some or all of the provisions of AB X1 26 and AB XI 27. If AB X1 26 and AB Xl 27 are
upheld in whole or in part, it may take some time to ascertain the mechanics and practical effects of
the implementation of the upheld provisions. For example, under AB X1 26, if a redevelopment
agency is dissolved, a successor agency to the redevelopment agency will be required to make
payments for enforceable obligations, including previously issued agency bonds, listed in
Recognized Obligation Payment Schedules. However, AB X1 26 establishes a flow of revenues to
repay bonds that is different from the flow of tax increment currently provided in the Community
Redevelopment Law.
Further, under AB X1 26, if the Agency is dissolved, the State Controller of the State of California
is directed to review the propriety of any transfers of assets between redevelopment agencies and
other public bodies that occurred after January 1, 2011. If the public body that received such
transfers is not contractually committed to a third party for the expenditure or encumbrance of
those assets, the State Controller is required to order the available assets to be transferred to the
public body designated as the successor agency by AB X1 26, if a successor agency is established
by only to such extent that such order for return is not prohibited by state or federal law.
In addition, under AB X1 26, if the Agency is dissolved, the interagency receivable recognized by
funds of the City that had previously loaned or advanced funds to the Agency may become
uncollectible resulting in a loss recognized by such funds. The City may also be impacted if
reimbursements previously paid by the Agency to the City for shared administrative services are
reduced or eliminated.

20. RECENT CHANGES IN LEGISLATION AFFECTING CALIFORNIA REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCIES (CONTINUED):
Management believes that the Agency will have sufficient funds to pay its obligations as they
become due during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012. The nature and extent of the operation of
redevelopment agencies in the State of California beyond that time frame cannot be determined at
this time and are dependent upon the outcome of many factors related to the constitutionality of
AB XI 26 and AB X1 27. There is always a possibility that future legislative acts may create new
challenges to the ability of redevelopment agencies to operate in the State of California in light of
the California State Legislature's continued taking of redevelopment agencies funding to balance
the state's budget.
The full text of AB XI 26 and AB X1 27 may be obtained from the "Official California Legislative
Information" website maintained by the Legislative Counsel of the State of California, at the
following webpage: Docket information for the CRA
Lawsuit can be found at the California Appellate Courts Case Information System website, at the

NOTE TO REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
June 30, 2011
BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING:
The City used the following procedures in establishing the budgetary data reported in the financial
statements:
1. Before the beginning of the fiscal year, the City Manager submits to the City Council a
proposed budget for the year commencing the following July 1.
2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
3. The budget is subsequently adopted through passage of a resolution.
4. Expenditures for the General Fund cannot exceed amounts budgeted at the departmental level,
which is the legal level of control.
For other funds, expenditures cannot exceed the total amount budgeted for each fund, which is
the legal level of control. The City Manager is authorized to transfer appropriations (without
council approval) between an object of a General Fund Department. The City Council
approves all other changes. Annual appropriation amounts lapse at year-end.
5. Encumbrances and continuing appropriations are rebudgeted as of July 1, by Council action.
6. Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America for all governmental funds except for certain special revenue
funds and capital projects funds, which adopt project length budgets and debt service funds that
are not budgeted as effectively budgetary control is achieved through debt indenture provisions.
The following special revenue funds had legally adopted budgets during the current fiscal year:
Prop A Fire Tax
Traffic Safety
Gas Tax
Housing Mitigation Fees
Community Development Block Grant
Public Safety Police Grants
El Paseo Assessment District
City -Wide Business License
Landscape and Lighting District No. 1-17
