INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON THE
GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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, 1996. 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 "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, 1996, 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 October 21, 1996,
on our consideration of the City of Rosemead's internal control structure and a report dated October 21,
1996 on its compliance with laws and regulations.

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 Agency has 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.

' 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:
I
1
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 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.

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.

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, 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,
1995 was $1,175,661 and total payroll was $1,757,783.
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, 1995 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.

Net assets available for benefits, at cost (market value
$2,000,984) 1,882,394
Unfunded pension benefit obligation $ 138,815
Actuarially determined contribution requirements and contribution made
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
this Note.

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 $435,630 at June 30, 1996.
23
I NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CITY OF ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA
' Note 8. Deferred Compensation Agreements, Continued
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.
' 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. 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.

I NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
' 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 $275,629 which is not expected
to be paid from available resources is reported in the General Long-term Debt Account Group.

Defeasance ofprior 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, 1996, $19,215,000 of bonds outstanding are considered defeased.

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 the set-aside requirement
amounts incurred 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, 1996, 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.
27
I
I NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CITY OF ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA
I Nate 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, 1996 was $112,347. This amount is included in the City's long-term
debt account group as of June 30, 1996.
' 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 City of Rosemead has denied the claim. An application for leave
to file a late claim was also denied. At the present, there is not enough information to assess the ultimate
outcome.
Advance agreement
In February 1996, 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 October 21, 1996, the agreement continues to
remain on hold.
Note 13. Pronouncement Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In November 1994, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board 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, with
early implementation encouraged. The City has not completed its assessment of the effect that the
adoption of Statement No. 27 will have on its financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE BASED ON
AN AUDIT OF THE GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
' To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
' City of Rosemead
Rosemead, California
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of Rosemead, California, as of and
for the year ended June 30, 1996, and have issued our report thereon, dated October 21, 1996.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and "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
Q free of material misstatement.
Compliance with laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to the City of Rosemead, California, is
the responsibility of the City's management. As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of the City's compliance with
certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants. However, the objective of our audit of the
financial statements was not to provide an opinion on overall compliance with such provisions.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
We noted certain conditions that we believe constitute instances of noncompliance, but which we conclude
do not represent material noncompliance. These conditions are described below.
Investments
A During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, as noted during the prior two fiscal years, the City had
investments in its General Fund that exceeded the five-year maturities limit set by the California Municipal
Code. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, we recommended that the City design procedures to
ensure that any future investments are in compliance with the California Municipal Code. We noted that
all investments acquired since the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994 have had maturities less than, or equal
to, five years. As of June 30, 1996, the City was still holding $1,200,000 of investments, all purchased
prior to July 1, 1994, whereby the original maturity was greater than five years.
On January 1, 1996, the California Municipal Code was amended relating to investment reporting by the
City Treasurer to the City Council. We noted that prior to July 1, 1996, the City did not adhere to these
investment reporting guidelines as they relate to the timing and content of the City Treasurer's report;
however, the City has since implemented the requirements of the California Municipal Code as they relate
to investments. We recommend that the City continue to adhere to the amended California Municipal Code
requirements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL STRUCTURE
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Rosemead
Rosemead, California
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of Rosemead, California, as of and
for the year ended June 30, 1996, and have issued our report thereon, dated October 21, 1996.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and "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
I
I
I
1
I
free of material misstatement.
The management of the City of Rosemead, California, is responsible for establishing and maintaining an
internal control structure. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are
required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of internal control structure policies and
procedures. The objectives of an internal control structure are to provide management with reasonable, but
not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and
that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded properly to
permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of inherent limitations in any internal control structure, errors or irregularities may nevertheless
occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of the structure to future periods is subject to
the risk that procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness
of the design and operation of policies and procedures may deteriorate.
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the City of Rosemead, California, as of
and for the year ended June 30, 1996, we obtained an understanding of the internal control structure. With
respect to the internal control structure, we obtained an understanding of the design of relevant policies and
procedures and whether they have been placed in operation, and we assessed control risk in order to
determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and
not to provide an opinion on the internal control structure. Accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion.

Our consideration of the internal control structure would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal
control structure that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of
' one or more of the internal control structure elements does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that
errors and irregularities 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 noted no matters involving the internal control structure and its
operations that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above.

We have applied procedures to test the City's compliance with the following requirements applicable to its
federal financial assistance program, which is identified in the schedule of federal financial assistance, for
the year ended June 30, 1996:
• Political activity
• Davis-Bacon Act
• Civil rights
• Cash management
• Real property acquisition
• Federal financial reports
• Allowable costs/costs principles
• Drug-free workplace
• Administrative requirements
Our procedures were limited to the applicable procedures described in the Office of Management and
Budget's (OMB) Compliance Supplement for Single Audits of State and Local Governments. Our
procedures were substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of which is the expression of an
opinion on the City's compliance with the requirements listed in the preceding paragraph. Accordingly, we
do not express such an opinion.
With respect to the items tested, the results of those procedures disclosed no instances of noncompliance
with the requirements listed in the second paragraph of this report. With respect to items not tested,
nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the City had not complied, in all material
respects, with those requirements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON
THE INTERNAL CONTROL STRUCTURE USED IN ADMINISTERING
FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Rosemead
Rosemead, California
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of Rosemead, California, as of and
' for the year ended June 30, 1996, and have issued our report thereon dated October 21, 1996. We have
also audited the City's compliance with requirements applicable to its major federal financial assistance
program and have issued our report thereon, dated October 21, 1996.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; "Government Auditing
Standards," issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) Circular A-128, Audits of State and Local Governments. Those standards and OMB Circular
A-128 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement and about whether the City complied with laws and
regulations, noncompliance with which would be material to the major federal financial assistance program.
In planning and performing our audits for the year ended June 30, 1996, we considered the City's internal
control structure in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions
on the City's financial statements and on its compliance with requirements applicable to its major federal
financial assistance program, and to report on the internal control structure in accordance with OMB
Circular A-128. This report addresses our consideration of internal control structure policies and
procedures relevant to compliance with requirements applicable to federal financial assistance programs.
We have addressed internal control structure policies and procedures relevant to our audit of the financial
statements in a separate report dated October 21, 1996.

I procedures used in administering federal financial assistance programs in the following categories:
The management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure.
In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected
benefits and related costs of internal control structure policies and procedures. The objectives of an
internal control structure are to provide management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that
assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, that transactions are executed in
accordance with management's authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that federal financial
assistance programs are managed in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Because of inherent
limitations in any internal control structure, errors, irregularities or instances of noncompliance may
nevertheless occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of the structure to future periods
is subject to the risk that procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the
effectiveness of the design and operation of policies and procedures may deteriorate.
For the purpose of this report, we have classified the significant internal control structure policies and

Specific Requirements:
- Types of services allowed and unallowed
- Reporting
- Cost allocation
- Timing of expenditures
- Environmental reviews
- Program income
- Claims for advances and reimbursements
For all of the internal control structure categories listed above, we obtained an understanding of the design
of relevant policies and procedures and determined whether they have been placed in operation, and we
assessed control risk.
During the year ended June 30, 1996, the City expended 100% of its total federal financial assistance under
one major federal financial assistance program.
We performed tests of controls, as required by OMB Circular A-128, to evaluate the effectiveness of the
design and operation of internal control structure policies and procedures that we considered relevant to
preventing or detecting material noncompliance with specific requirements, general requirements and
requirements governing claims for advances and reimbursements and amounts claimed or used for
matching that are applicable to the City's major federal financial assistance program, which is identified in
the accompanying schedule of federal financial assistance. Our procedures were less in scope than would
be necessary to.render an opinion on these internal control structure policies and procedures. Accordingly,
we do not express such an opinion.
Our consideration of the internal control structure policies and procedures used in administering federal
financial assistance would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control structure that might be
reportable conditions and, accordingly, would not necessarily disclose all reportable conditions that are also
considered to be material weaknesses as defined above. A material weakness is a condition in which the
design or operation of one or more of the internal control structure elements does not reduce to a relatively
low level the risk that errors and irregularities 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 noted no matters involving the internal control structure
and its operations that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above.
