INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON THE GENERAL PURPOSE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
' To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
' City of Rosemead
Rosemead, California
We have audited the accompanying general purpose financial statements of the City of Rosemead,
California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 1998. These general purpose financial statements are
the responsibility of the City's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these general
t purpose financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards 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 examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
t 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 opinion.
' In our opinion, the general purpose financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the City of Rosemead, California, as of June 30, 1998, and the results
of its operations and the cash flows of its pension trust fund for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated September 18,
1998, on our consideration of the City of Rosemead's internal control over financial reporting and our
tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws; regulations, contracts and grants.
n Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose financial statements
U taken as a whole. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for
purposes of additional analyses as required by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular
A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, and is not a required part of
the general purpose financial statements of the City of Rosemead, California. Such information has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the general purpose financial statements and,
in our opinion, is fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the general purpose financial
statements taken as a whole.

Significant Accounting Policies
' Reporting Entity
' As required by generally accepted accounting principles, these financial statements present the
government and its component units, entities for which the government is considered to be financially
accountable. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the
government's operations and are controlled by common governing boards; therefore, data from these
' units is combined with data of the primary government. The blended component units included in the
City of Rosemead (the City) reporting entity are the Rosemead Redevelopment Agency (the Agency) and
the Rosemead Housing Development Corporation (the Corporation) which is a component unit of the
' Agency. The component units have the same fiscal year as the City. The component unit financial
statements can be obtained from the City Clerk.

Nature of operations
City of Rosemead
The City provides a broad range of services to its citizens, including general government, public safety,
streets, sanitation and health, cultural and park facilities, and social services.
Many of the functions often provided by municipal government are, in the City, provided by special
districts. Examples of some of these special districts, which usually encompass areas larger than the City
itself, are the Fire Protection District, the Library District and the County Flood Control District. Certain
other governmental functions are paid for by the City, but performed by Los Angeles County
departments under contract. Some of the contracts now in effect are for police, street maintenance and
animal control.
Rosemead Redevelopment Agency
The Agency finances street, park and utility improvements. It also acquires and constructs major capital
facilities, all within the Rosemead Project Area No. 1.
Rosemead Housing Development Corporation
The Corporation accounts for the construction, financing and operations of low and moderate income
housing. It is a California nonprofit benefit corporation organized under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code.

Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
' Measurement focus, basis of accounting and basis of presentation
The accounts of the City and its component units are organized and operated on the basis of funds and
' account groups. A fund is an independent fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of
accounts. Fund accounting segregates funds according to their intended purpose and is used to aid
management in demonstrating compliance with finance-related legal and contractual provisions. The
' minimum number of funds are maintained consistent with legal and managerial requirements. Account
groups are a reporting device to account for certain assets and liabilities of the governmental funds not
recorded directly in those funds.
The government has the following fund types and account groups:
1

I
Governmental Funds are used to account for the general government activities. Governmental fund
types use the flow of current financial resources measurement focus and the modified-accrual basis of
accounting. Under the modified-accrual basis of accounting, revenue is recognized when susceptible to
accrual (i.e., when they are measurable and available). "Measurable" means the amount of the
transaction can be determined and "available" means collectible within the current period or soon enough
thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. The government considers all revenue available if it is
collected within 60 days after year end. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is
incurred, except for unmatured interest on general long-term debt, which is recognized when due, and
certain compensated absences and claims and judgments, which are recognized when the obligations are
expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources.
In determining when to recognize intergovernmental revenue (grants, subsidies and shared revenue), the
legal and contractual requirements of the individual programs are used as guidance. There are, however,
essentially two bases for this revenue recognition. In one, moneys must be expended on the specific
purpose or project before any amounts will be paid to the City; therefore, revenue is recognized based
upon the expenditures recorded. In the other, moneys are virtually unrestricted as to purpose of
expenditure and nearly irrevocable, i.e., revocable only for failure to comply with prescribed compliance
requirements, e.g., equal employment opportunity. These resources are reflected as revenue at the time
of receipt, or earlier if they meet the criterion of availability. Other major revenue that is determined to
be susceptible to accrual includes taxes and interest. Major revenue that is determined not to be
susceptible to accrual because it is either not available soon enough to pay liabilities of the current period
or not objectively measurable include licenses, permits, fines and forfeitures.
Expenditures are recorded when the liability is incurred, except for interest on long-term debt and sick
pay, which are recorded when paid. Vacation pay is recorded as an expenditure in the year it is earned,
to the extent it is paid in that year or within 90 days after year end; otherwise, it is recorded as an
expenditure when it is paid. Estimated losses on insurance claims are charged to expense in the period
the loss is determinable.

The Agency funds are custodial in nature and do not present results of operations or have a measurement
focus.
The accrual basis of accounting is used for the Pension Trust Fund utilizing the flow of economic
resources measurement focus. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenue is recognized when earned
and expenses are recorded when-incurred. The Pension Trust Fund applies applicable FASB
pronouncements issued prior to November 1989 to its financial accounting and reporting.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note I. Reporting Entity, Nature of Operations, Description of Funds and Account Groups, and
Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:
Changes in Accounting Principle
As of July I, 1997, the City of Rosemead adopted Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External
Investment Pools. GASB Statement No. 31 requires that investments be reported at their fair value and
that all changes in fair value be reflected in income for the period in which they occur. The adoption of
this Statement had no material effect on the financial statements for fiscal year ended June 30, 1998.
As of July 1, 1997, the City of Rosemead adopted GASB Statement 27, Accountingfor Pensions by State
and Local Governmental Employers. This Statement establishes standards for measurement, recognition
and display of pension expense and related liabilities, assets and disclosures in the financial statements of
state and local government employers. The adoption of this Statement had no material effect on the
financial statements for fiscal year ended June 30, 1998.
The City of Rosemead has also adopted GASB No. 32, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Internal
Revenue Code Section 457 Deferred Compensation Plans. This Statement establishes accounting and
financial reporting standards for Internal Revenue Code Section 457 deferred compensation plans of
state and local governmental employers. The effect of this Statement was to eliminate the asset and
corresponding liability from the City's books for the year ended June 30, 1998. Also, because the Board
was unaware of any additional risks to plan sponsors, under the revised Internal Revenue Code provision,
any related financial statement disclosures for the deferred compensation plan have been omitted for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1998.
' Management has the ultimate responsibility for the appropriateness of the accounting policies and
procedures used by the City.
Cash investments and other investments
As of July 1, 1997, the City of Rosemead adopted GASB No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting
for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. GASB No. 31 requires that investments be
reported at their fair value and that all changes in fair value be reflected in income for the period in
' which they occur. The City records all investments at fair value, with the exception of Government
Investment Contracts and Commercial Paper and Bonds which are carried at cost. The City has
identified these investments as either being nonnegotiable, having a maturity of one year or less, having a
' redemption value that was fixed and not linked to some sort of index or other market-determined factor,
and the investments are with reputable organizations with good credit standing so that the value of the
investments was not significantly impaired as of year end.
The City pools cash and investment resources of some of its funds in order to facilitate the management
of cash. Cash applicable to a particular fund is readily identifiable. The balance in the pooled cash
accounts is available to meet current operating requirements. Investment earnings are allocated based on
' the source of funds.

I considered to be vested and are paid to the employee based on a vesting schedule. In addition,
Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property as of March I. Taxes are levied on July I and
are payable in two installments on December 10 and April 10. The County of Los Angeles bills and
collects the property taxes and remits them to the City in installments during the year. Property taxes
received within 60 days after the City's fiscal year end are considered "measurable" and "available" and
are accrued in the City's financial statements.
All other receivables are reported at their gross value and, where appropriate, are reduced by the
estimated portion that is expected to be uncollectible.
Property and equipment
All property and equipment of the City are accounted for in the general fixed assets account group.
Public domain (infrastructure) general fixed assets, consisting of certain improvements other than
buildings, such as roads, sidewalks and bridges, are not capitalized. Property and equipment acquired or
constructed for general governmental operations are recorded as expenditures in the fund making the
expenditure and capitalized in the general fixed assets account group.
All general fixed assets which were purchased or constructed are stated at cost. Assets acquired by gift
or bequest are recorded at their fair market value at the date of transfer. No depreciation is recorded on
general fixed assets.
Fund balances

the specific purpose or it represents that amount which is not available to liquidate current liabilities.
The unreserved portion represents the amount available for budgeting future operations.
Vacation pay and compensatory time
City employees accumulate vacation hours which may be paid upon termination, death or retirement.
Employees can accumulate up to three weeks of accrued vacation per year depending on the length of
employment. Employees can accumulate up to 160 hours of sick leave. Any hours in excess of 160 are

Note 7. Employee Pension Plans
Defined contribution pension plan
The City had a defined contribution pension plan which covered substantially all retired employees and
was funded by a group annuity contract. Plan participants became vested upon the dissolution of the
plan on September 8, 1992. There were no subsequent contributions to this plan. On September 8, 1992,
participants of the plan who were current employees had their share of the annuity contract transferred to
the California Public Employee Retirement System (CalPERS). The value of the annuity contract for
retired employees was $203,441 as of June 30, 1998.
Plan description
The City's defined benefit pension plan, PERS, provides retirement and disability benefits, annual
cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. The PERS is part of
the Public Agency portion of the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS), an agent
multiple-employer plan administered by CalPERS, which acts as a common investment and
administrative agent for participating public employers within the state of California. A menu of benefit
provisions as well as other requirements are established by state statutes within the Public Empoyees'
Retirement Law. The City of Rosemead selects optional benefit provisions from the benefit menu by
contract with CalPERS and adopts those benefits through local ordinance. CalPERS issues a separate
from the CalPERS Executive Office, 400 P Street, Sacramento, California 95814.
Funding policy
Active plan members in the PERS are required to contribute 7% of their annual covered salary. The City
' of Rosemead is required to contribute the actuarially determined remaining amounts necessary to fund
the benefits for its members. The actuarial methods and assumptions used are those adopted by the
CalPERS Board of Administration. The required employer contribution rate for fiscal 1995-1996 was
' 5% to 6%. The contribution requirements of plan members are established by state statute and the
employer contribution rate is established and may be amended by CAPERS.

11
Annual pension cost
For fiscal year 1995-1996, the City of Rosemead's annual pension cost was $94,186 and the City of
Rosemead actually contributed $94,186. The required contribution for fiscal year 1995-1996 was
determined as part of the June 30, 1995 actuarial valuation using the entry age normal actuarial cost
method with the contributions determined as a percent of pay. The actuarial assumptions included (a)
8.5% investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses); (b) projected salary increases that vary
by duration of service ranging from 4.5% to 14.95% and (c) 4.5% cost-of-living adjustment. Both (a)
and (b) include an inflation component of 4.5%. The actuarial value of PERS 's assets was determined
using a technique that smoothes the effect of short-term volatility in the market value of investments
over a two- to five-year period depending on the size of investment gains and/or losses. PERS's
unfunded actuarial accrued liability (or excess assets) is being amortized as a level percentage of
projected payroll on a closed basis. The remaining amortization period at June 30, 1996 was 27 years.

Note & Deferred Compensation Plan
' The City has adopted a deferred compensation plan in accordance with Section 457 of the Internal
Revenue Code. Generally, all eligible employees may defer receipt of a portion of their salary until
' future years. The employees are not liable for income taxes on amounts deferred until the funds are
withdrawn. At June 30, 1998 and 1997, assets of the plan totaled approximately $652,000 and $518,000
respectively.
' In prior years, all of the plan assets until paid or made available to the employee on their beneficiary,
were the sole property of the Authority, subject to the claims of the Authority's general creditors. The
' plan was amended during the year ended June 30, 1998, in accordance with recent changes in the Internal
Revenue Code, so that all assets are now held for exclusive benefit of the participants and their
beneficiaries. Therefore, the plan assets and corresponding liability to the participants are no longer
' recognized in the accompanying financial statements.

I NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
I Note 9. Self-insurance Program
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to and destruction of assets;
' errors and omissions; and injuries to employees. The City carries commercial liability insurance and
bonds its employees. The City carries no insurance coverage for natural disasters. Beginning in 1977,
the City became a member of the Southern California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (the Authority)
' (a joint powers authority of 77 California cities) for the purpose of pooling their losses and claims of
workers' compensation and general liability with those of other member cities. The Authority is
governed by a Board of Directors which is composed of one representative and an alternate selected by
' the City Council of each city. Each Board member has one vote regarding control of all budgeting,
financial and management issues coming before the Board of Directors.
' The City, through the Authority, has a self-insured retention of $20,000. The amount exceeding the
self-insured retention level, excluding costs for "property damage only" occurrences which have a total
incurred value of $2,000 or less, will be shared pro ratably among the pool based upon each member's
' share of cost under $30,000 up to a maximum of $500,000. Any losses above $500,000, including
claims adjusting costs and administrative expenses, are shared pro rata based upon each member's share
of aggregate payroll. The City has employers' liability insurance up to $5,000,000 per occurrence. The
coverage under this arrangement includes statutory liability under California Workers' Compensation
Law and any liability under law for damages arising from employment.
' Settled claims have not exceeded coverage for these risks in any of the last three fiscal years.
' Note 10. Long-term Debt
Tax allocation bonds, Series 1993 A and B
' In November 1993, the Rosemead Redevelopment Agency issued tax allocation bonds in the amount of
$34,275,000 (Series 1993A) and taxable tax allocation refunding bonds in the amount of $2,435,000
' (Series 1993B) to finance a portion of the cost of the redevelopment area known as Project Area No. 1.
The bonds bear interest ranging from 4.6% to 5.6% and 5.2% to 5.9% for Series 1993A and B,
respectively. From the proceeds, $14,652,398 of Series A and $2,382,551 of Series B, along with the
existing reserve amount of $2,651,000 on deposit with the fiscal agent, were used to purchase U.S.
' government securities. Those securities were deposited in an irrevocable trust with an escrow agent to
provide for all future debt service payments on the 1987 and 1991 tax allocation bonds which are,
therefore, considered defeased. Series 1993A bonds mature after October 1, 2001 and before October 1,
1 2033, and Series 1993B bonds mature on or before October 1, 2001
In addition, the 1993 bond issue reallocated the $6,813,850 of the proceeds from the 1991 bond issue
' deposited in the Low-Moderate Income Housing Fund in October 1991. The reallocation had the effect
of satisfying the $423,574 borrowed from the ERAF in fiscal year ended June 30, 1993 and satisfying the
set-aside requirements as follows: $812,342 for fiscal year ended June 30, 1992, $847,147 for fiscal year
' ended June 30, 1993 and $469,142 for each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 1997 through June 30,

Note 12. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Low-Moderate Income Housing Set-Aside Fund
Under state law, the Agency is required to set aside a portion of its property tax increment revenue for
low- and moderate-income housing. The Agency has made findings that, for the years ended June 30,
1986 through 1991, it was allowed to defer funding of the set-aside. The set-aside amounts incurred
during the fiscal years ended June 30, 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997 were also deferred until the fiscal year
ending June 30, 2023, as provided by the Agency's adoption of the housing deficit repayment plan. As of
June 30, 1998, the accumulated set-aside amount not yet funded was approximately $4,947,000. As
required by law, the Agency devised a plan to fund the accumulating amount.
Litigation
The City is a member of the "LA County Liability Trust Fund" which was set up to pay for litigation
involving the Los Angeles County Sheriffs' Department within any of the 41 cities that are serviced by
the LA County Sheriffs. The Trust Fund was and is being funded by the 41 cities based upon an
additional 6% charge on the amount paid to Los Angeles County for the use of its deputies within the
City. Based upon the agreement signed by all of the 41 cities at the time the Trust Fund originated, the
cities will be jointly liable for any and all claims filed against an Los Angeles Sheriffs' Deputy, no matter
which of the 41 cities that claim arose from.

I
CITY OF ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 11. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, Continued
In 1998 the County of Los Angeles lost a litigation matter which resulted in a $25,000,0000 judgment
against the Los Angeles County Sheriffs' Department which Los Angeles County has since paid. Now
Los Angeles County is looking to collect this money back from the 41 cities which were members of the
trust fund.
At this time it is too early for the City to predict the financial impact of its share of the settlement which
must be paid to the County of Los Angeles, nor do they know what length of time the settlement
payments, if any, will be spread over. As a result, the City has not recorded any liability relating to this
matter in its June 30, 1998 financial statements.
Advance agreement
In February 1995, the Agency approved an agreement with a local utility company to advance the utility
company $117,600 required to install water distribution mains within the Agency redevelopment area.
The agreement was put on hold by the Agency and, as of September 18, 1998, the agreement continues
to remain on hold.

The Year 2000 issue is the result of shortcomings in many electronic data processing systems and other
electronic equipment that may adversely affect the government's operations as early as fiscal year ending
June 30, 1999.
The City of Rosemead has completed an inventory of its in-house computer systems and other electronic
equipment (i.e., irrigation systems, traffic signals, etc.) within City limits that may be affected by the
Year 2000 issue and that are necessary to conducting the City's operations. Currently, the City is in the
remediation stage in that bid specifications have been drawn up to purchase, from outside vendors,
hardware and software believed to be Year 2000 compliant for the financial reporting systems. the City
has budgeted $50,000 to obtain and implement a complete Year 2000 financial reporting system during
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1999. Testing and validation of the systems will need to be completed
after the hardware and software are installed.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH

AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Rosemead
Rosemead, California
Compliance
RSM
international
We have audited the compliance of the City of Rosemead, California, (the City) with the types of
compliance requirements described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular
A-133 Compliance Supplement that are applicable to its major federal program for the year ended
June 30, 1998. Rosemead's major federal program is identified in the summary of auditor's results
section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Compliance with the
requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to its major federal program is the
responsibility of Rosemead's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Rosemead's
compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; the
standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local
Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types
of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major
federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about Rosemead's
compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in
the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does
not provide a legal determination on Rosemead's compliance with those requirements.
In our opinion, Rosemead complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to above that
are applicable to its major federal program for the year ended June 30, 1998.
Internal Control Over Compliance
The management of Rosemead is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control
over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to federal
programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered Rosemead's internal control over
compliance with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program in
order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and
to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133.

ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Mayor and

City of Rosemead
Rosemead, Califomia
We have audited the financial statements of the City of Rosemead, California, (the City) as of and for the
year ended June 30, 1998 and have issued our report thereon dated September 18, 1998. We conducted
our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the standards applicable to
financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the
United States.
' Compliance
' 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 grants, 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 one instance of noncompliance that is required to be reported under
' Government Auditing Standards which is described in the accompanying schedule of findings and
questioned costs as item CF 97-1.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City's intemal control over financial reporting
in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial
statements and not to provide assurance on intemal control over financial reporting. Our consideration
of internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in internal control
over financial reporting that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a condition in which
the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively
low level the risk that misstatements in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial
statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the
normal course of performing their assigned functions. We note no matters involving intemal control
over financial reporting and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above.

' There were no reportable conditions in internal control noted.

Investments
' The City's investment portfolio at June 30, 1998 included investments in commercial paper
and bonds that were purchased in prior years, which exceed the maximum term limit of five
years required by the California Government Municipal Code.
' Section 536010) of the California Government Municipal Code states that cities are allowed
to invest in corporate or medium-term notes with a maximum of five years from the date of
' purchase, that have a rating of at least "A" by Moody's.
The result of having investments that are not in compliance with the California Government
' Municipal Code could cause the City's investment value to be at risk should market interest
rates become less stable.
' The Condition, which originated in prior years, was caused by the City's management and
investment advisor being unaware of the investment requirements of the California
Government Municipal Code prior to purchasing the investments.
' At June 30, 1997, we recommended that the City design procedures to ensure that all future
investments are in compliance with the California Government Municipal Code. The City
' has since implemented procedures to ensure that investments purchased adhere to the
California Government Municipal Code Section 536010).
