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
RSM
international
We have audited the accompanying general purpose financial statements of the City of Rosemead,
California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 1997. These general purpose financial statements are
the responsibility of the City's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these general
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
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, 1997, 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 30,
1997, 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.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose financial statements
taken as a whole. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for
purposes of additional analyses as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133,
Audits of State, 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.

and 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 are 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.
t 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.

Note 1. Reporting Entity, Nature of Operations, Description of Funds and Account Groups,
and 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:
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.

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.
Governmental Fund Types
' The General Fund accounts for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in
another fund. These resources are devoted to financing the general services that the City performs for its
' citizens.
Special Revenue Funds account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than special
t assessments, expendable trusts and major capital projects) that are legally restricted to expenditures for
specified purposes. The Special Revenue Funds and their purposes are as follows:
t The Traffic Safety Fund accounts for the receipt of vehicle code fines which are expended for traffic
safety enforcement.
The State Gas Tax Fund accounts for funds collected from the State of California which are used for
street construction, street maintenance, engineering and administrative costs.
' The Air Quality Management District Fund accounts for the City's share of automobile registration
fees collected from the State by the South Coast Air Quality Management District. The funds are used
in improving transportation systems and to reduce reliance on private vehicles.
The Local Transportation Fund accounts for State grants used to finance the construction of
bikeways and sidewalks.
The Public Transportation Funds account for the City's share of additional sales tax collected in the
County of Los Angeles as a result of Propositions A and C. The funds are used to finance public
transportation projects.
The Community Development Block Grant Fund accounts for Community Development Block
Grants received from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The 1976 Community Parklands Grant Fund accounts for funds to be used for park projects.
The Street Lighting Fund accounts for the operation of street lights within the City.

Fiduciary Fund Types
Fiduciary Funds account for assets held by the government in a trustee capacity or as an agent on behalf
of others. Trust funds account for assets held by the government under the terms of a formal trust
agreement. The City's Fiduciary Fund Types are as follows:
The Pension Trust Fund, a nonexpendable trust fund, accounts for the activity of the retirement plan
for employees of the City using the accrual basis of accounting.
The Agency Funds account for the assets held in a trustee capacity or as an agent. The cash being
held primarily represents amounts placed on deposit for refundable permits and performance bonds
and deferred compensation plans for qualified employees. The Agency funds are custodial in nature
and do not present results of operations or have a measurement focus. Agency funds are refundable
deposits and deferred compensation.
Account Groups
The General Fixed Assets Account Group is used to account for the City's fixed assets.

O The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:
Cash investments and other investments
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. All investments are stated at cost or
amortized cost except those of the Deferred Compensation Plan and Pension Trust Fund, which are
stated at market value. Investment earnings are allocated based on the source of funds.
Receivables
Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property as of March 1. 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 reserved portion of the fund balances represents that amount which has been legally identified for
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
considered to be vested and are paid to the employee based on a vesting schedule. In addition,
employees can accrue compensatory time.
The vested portion of vacation and sick leave by employees at June 30, 1997 that is expected to be paid
within 90 days after year end is included in accrued liabilities in the General Fund. The amount not
expected to be paid within 90 days is included in the General Long-term Debt Account Group.
I "Memorandum Only" total columns
Included on the combined financial statements are total columns captioned "Memorandum Only" to
' indicate that they are presented only for informational purposes. Adjustments to eliminate interfund
transactions have not been recorded in arriving at such amounts and the memorandum totals are not
intended to fairly present the financial position or results of operations of the reporting entity taken as a
' whole.
Additionally, the 1996 totals presented in the "Memorandum Only" columns are included to provide a
' summarized comparison with comparable 1997 amounts and are not intended to present all information
necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. Certain revenue for the year ended June 30, 1996 has been
reclassified, with no effect on net revenue over expenditures, to be consistent with the classifications
adopted for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997.
I Note 2. Budget Matters
The annual budget adopted by the City Council provides for the general operation of the City. It includes
proposed expenditures and estimated revenue for all governmental fund types.
a Budgets presented in this report for comparison to actual amounts are presented in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. Reported budget amounts represent the original adopted
budget as amended.
The City Manager is authorized to make transfers of appropriations within a department. Transfers of
appropriations between departments require the approval of the goveming council. The legal level of
budgetary control is the department level. The governing council made several supplemental budgetary
appropriations throughout the year, none considered to be material.

O Note 7. Employee Pension Plans, Continued
Effective November 1, 1992, the City became a member of PERS, an agent multiple-employer public
employee retirement system that acts as a common investment and administrative agent for cities in the
State. The City's payroll for employees covered by PERS for the calendar year ended December 31,
1996 was $1,144,905 and total payroll was $1,736,935.
All full-time City employees are eligible to participate in PERS. Benefits vest after five years of service.
City employees who retire at or after age 60 with five years of credited service are entitled to an annual
retirement benefit, payable monthly for life. Retirement benefits are calculated using a formula which
multiplies years of credited service by a sliding scale (based on age) by the employee's highest annual
salary during service.
PERS also provides death and disability benefits to participating employees.
' Benefit provisions and all other requirements are established by State statute and City ordinance.
Employees are required to contribute 7% of their salary to the plan. The City contributes the employee's
portion as well as the remaining contribution requirement required to fund the plan.
PERS has in its investments no securities in the form of bonds, notes, leases receivable, loans or any
' other instrument representing debt of the City or any of the other governments included as part of the
City's reporting entity, or any parties related to the City or the other governments included as part of the
City's reporting entity.

Funding status and progress: The amount shown as the pension benefit obligation is a standardized
disclosure measure of the present value of pension benefits, adjusted for the effects of projected salary
increases and step-rate benefits, estimated to be payable in the future as a result of employee service to
date. The measure is intended to help users assess the funding status of the system on a going concern
basis, assess progress made in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due, and make
comparisons among employers. The measure is the actuarial present value of credited projected benefits
and is independent of the funding method used to determine contributions to the system.
The total PERS pension benefit obligation was computed as of June 30, 1996 as part of an actuarial
valuation performed. Significant actuarial assumptions used to determine the pension benefit obligation
include:
• A rate of return on the investment of present and future assets of 8.5% per year compounded
annually.
• Projected salary increases of 4.5% per year compounded annually, attributable to inflation.
• No increases attributable to seniority/merit.
• No postretirement benefit increases.

PERS uses the Entry Age Normal Actuarial Cost Method, which is a projected benefit cost method. That
is, it takes into account those benefits that are expected to be earned in the future as well as those already
accrued. According to this cost method, the normal cost for an employee is the level amount which
would fund the projected benefit if it were paid annually from date of employment until retirement.
PERS uses a modification of the Entry Age Cost Method in which the employer's total normal cost is
expressed as a level percentage of payroll. PERS also uses the level percentage of payroll method to
amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities. The amortization period of the unfunded actuarial liability is
not longer than 30 years for contracting public agencies.
The significant actuarial assumptions used to compute the actuarially determined contribution
requirement are the same as those used to compute the pension benefit obligation as described earlier in

CITY OF ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 8. Deferred Compensation Agreements
The City has a deferred compensation plan which is organized under Internal Revenue Code 457. The
plan allows eligible employees to defer a portion of their gross income to future years not to exceed the
lesser of $7,500 or 25% of the participant's includible compensation. The deferred compensation is not
available to employees until termination, retirement, death or unforeseeable emergency. The deferred
compensation and accumulated earnings thereon totaled $517,848 at June 30, 1997.
The deferred compensation plan is fully funded by the City as the deferred compensation is earned by the
employees. Plan assets and the related liability to employees are accounted for in an agency fund at the
current market value of the annuity contracts and time certificates of deposit.
All amounts of compensation deferred under the plan, all property and rights purchased with those
amounts, and all income attributable to those amounts, property or rights are (until paid or made
available to the employee or other beneficiary) solely the property and rights of the City (without being
' restricted to the provisions of benefits under the plan), subject only to the claims of the City's general
creditors. Participants' rights under the plan are equal to those of general creditors of the City in an
amount equal to the fair market value of the deferred account for each participant.
t The City has no liability for losses under the plan, but does have the duty of due care that would be
required of any ordinary prudent investor. The administrative and reporting functions of the plan are
I being handled by an insurance company

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 of Rosemead 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 of Rosemead, 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 proceeds, 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 on or after October 1, 2033, and Series
1993B bonds mature on or after 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,
2022.
Compensated absences
That portion of the liability for the vested compensated absences totaling $297,011 which is not expected
to be paid from available resources is reported in the General Long-term Debt Account Group.
Other long-term debt
The City has included amounts in the long-term debt account groups for a litigation settlement.

Defeasance of prior debt
The Agency has advance refunded prior bond issues, which are considered defeased and, accordingly,
the long-term debt liability has been removed from the general long-term debt account group. The
Agency is, however, contingently liable if, for any reason, the funds on deposit are not sufficient to retire
the defeased debt. On June 30, 1997, $16,470,000 is considered defeased, consisting of $9,660,149 of
bonds outstanding and $6,809,851 of interest.

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 the set-aside requirement
amounts incurred June 30, 1986 through June 30, 1991 and during the fiscal years ended June 30, 1994,
1995 and 1996 are allowed to be deferred until the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 as a result of a
housing deficit repayment plan devised by the Agency as required by law. As of June 30, 1997, the
' accumulated set-aside amount not yet funded was approximately $4,947,000.
Litigation
The City was a defendant in a lawsuit along with 13 other cities, the County of Los Angeles, five county
garbage collection districts and the State of California for reimbursement of landfill cleanup costs of
' hazardous waste dumped between 1948 and 1984. The plaintiffs claimed that the cities either accepted
for transport or arranged for disposal or treatment of municipal waste which contained hazardous
materials. The plaintiffs also claimed that these materials have been released from the landfill into the
environment.
' 28
C
CITY OF ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
I Note 12. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, Continued
The City and the plaintiffs reached a settlement of the above referenced matter for $946,726. The City's
insurers have agreed to pay $447,467, with the City paying the balance of $499,259. Of this amount,
$300,000 was deposited in an escrow account in January 1994. The remaining amount of $199,259 will
be paid over the next five years with interest at various rates not to exceed 5%. The present value of the
' remaining payments as of June 30, 1997 was $76,773. This amount is included in the City's long-term
debt account group as of June 30, 1997.
' In addition, the City enacted a user fee, imposed on residential and commercial refuse bills, to help offset
the settlement.
' In late July 1995, the 13 cities involved in the above litigation received a claim for indemnity. The
Fortune 500 companies who utilized the landfill are now being sued for traditional tort damages to their
persons and property. The Fortune 500 companies have in turn filed claims with the 13 cities asserting
' that, if they are liable, then the cities are proportionately liable up to an aggregate total of $3,000,000 for
claims in excess of $40,000,000. The cities negotiated a settlement agreement with the homeowners
plaintiffs which requires the cities, including the City of Rosemead, to pay an aggregate total of
' $300,000, approximately $11,500 per city. The settlement calls for the homeowners to indemnify the
cities against any liability to the industrial defendants and/or to dismiss these defendants. The settlement
has been approved by the court and signed by all counsel and all but one homeowner family. The City
' expects the remaining family will sign very soon.
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 30, 1997, the agreement continues
to remain on hold.
' Note 13. Pronouncement Issued but Not Yet Adopted
' In November 1994, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statement of
Governmental Accounting Standards No. 27, Accounting for 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. Statement No. 27 is required to be adopted for years beginning after June 15,
1997. The City has not completed its assessment of the effect that the adoption of Statement No. 27 will
have on its financial statements.
' In January 1997, the GASB issued Statement of Governmental Accounting Standards No. 31, Accounting
and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. This Statement
t establishes new financial reporting standards for investments held by government external investment
pools, interest-earning investment contracts, open-end mutual funds and debt and equity securities.
Statement No. 31 is required to be adopted for years beginning after June 15, 1997. The effect of
adopting this Statement would have been to increase investments and fund balance by approximately
$305,000 at June 30, 1997.

BE REPORTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED GOVERNMENT
AUDITING STANDARDS
A. Compliance finding (CF 97-1)
Investments
t
The City's investment portfolio at June 30, 1997 included investments in commercial paper
and bonds 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 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.
' We recommend that the City design procedures to ensure that all future investments are in
compliance with the California Government Municipal Code.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH
REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO THE MAJOR PROGRAM
AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133
To the Honorable Major and
Members of the City Council
City of Rosemead
Rosemead, California
Compliance
RSM
international
We have audited the compliance of the City of Rosemead (Rosemead) 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,
1997. Rosemead's major federal program is identified in the summary of auditor's results section of the
accompanying schedule of finding 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, 1997.

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.
Our consideration of the internal control over compliance would not necessarily disclose all matters in
the internal control 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 noncompliance with applicable requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants
that would be material in relation to a major federal program being audited may occur and not be
detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control over compliance and its operation that we
consider to be material weaknesses.
This report is intended for the information of management of the City of Rosemead, California, the
United States Department of Housing and Urban Development and the California State Controllers
Office (Division of Audits and Division of Local Government Affairs). However, this report is a matter
of public record and its distribution is not limited.

IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Major and
Members of the City Council
City of Rosemead
' Rosemead, California
We have audited the financial statements of the City of Rosemead (Rosemead) as of and for the year
ended June 30, 1997, and have issued our report thereon dated September 30, 1997. We conducted our
audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the standards applicable to financial

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Rosemead'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 Rosemead's internal 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 the internal control over financial reporting. Our
consideration of the 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
the internal controls over financial reporting and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses
as defined above.
