INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON THE
GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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, 1990, as listed
in the table of contents. 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.
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, 1989, and the results of its operations and
changes in financial position of its Pension Trust Fund for the year then ended
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose
financial statements taken as a whole. The combining and individual fund
financial statements listed in the table of contents as supplementary information
' are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are 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.

I NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
' Note 1. Reporting Entity, Nature of Operations, Description of Funds and
Accounts Groups and Significant Accounting Policies
' Reporting Entity
The criteria of oversight responsibility, special financing
relationships and scope of public service was used in determining the
agencies or entities which comprise the City for financial reporting
purposes. Oversight responsibility is determined by the extent of
financial interdependency, control over the selection of the governing
' authority and management, ability to significantly influence
operations, and accountability for fiscal matters. Based on these
criteria, the Rosemead Redevelopment Agency (the Agency) is included
' in the combined financial statements of the City.
Nature of Operations
City of Rosemead
The 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 of Rosemead, 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 A ep ncv
The Rosemead Redevelopment Agency (the Agency) finances street, park
and utility improvements within the Rosemead Project Area No. 1.
Description of Funds and Account Groups
The accounts of the reporting entity are organized on the basis of
funds or groups of accounts, each of which is considered to be a
separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted
for by providing a separate set of self-balancing accounts which
comprise its assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and expenditures.
The various funds and account groups are presented as follows:

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

'
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 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 Aid to Cities Fund accounts for funds received from the County
of Los Angeles for street construction and maintenance projects.
'
The Local Transportation Fund accounts for state grants used to
finance the construction of bikeways and sidewalks.
The Public Transportation Fund accounts for the City's share of
additional sales tax collected in the County of Los Angeles as a
result of Proposition A. 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 Li hg tiny Fund accounts for the operation of street lights
within the City.
The Narcotic Seizure Fund accounts for the funds received from the
County of Los Angeles from the confiscation of cash and other
'
valuables seized during drug related police raids. The funds are
used to further enhance the City's drug related crimes prevention
and detection programs.
The R. Z'Berg/Harris Grant Fund accounts for a state grant for
preapproved park projects.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Reporting Entity, Nature of Operations, Description of Funds and
Account Groups and Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
Coital Projects Fund (Redevelopment Fund) account for financial
resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major
capital facilities within the Agency.
The Debt Service Fund accounts for the accumulation of resources for-
the payment of general long-term debt principal, interest and related
costs.
Fiduciary Fund Types
The Pension Trust Fund accounts for the activity of the retirement
plan for employees of the City.
The Expendable Trust Fund accounts for the repair, replacement or
restoration of disaster damaged publicly owned and certain nonpublicly
owned facilities.
The Agency Fund accounts 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.
Account Groups
The General Fixed Assets Account Group accounts for all property and
equipment except for public domain fixed assets (e.g., streets,
bridges,-sidewalks, curbs, gutters and storm drainage systems).
The General Long-Term Debt Account Group accounts for the outstanding
principal balances of all long-term debt expected to be financed from
governmental fund types.
Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
Governmental fund types are accounted for using the modified accrual
basis of accounting. Revenue is recognized when it becomes both
measurable and available. Taxes are considered to be measurable
when collected by an intermediary and are recognized as revenue at
that time. Expenditures are generally recognized when the related
liability is incurred. An exception to this general rule exists for
unmatured principal and interest on general long-term debt which is
recognized as an expenditure when due.
The pension trust fund is accounted for using the accrual basis of
accounting. Revenue is recognized when it becomes measurable and
expenses are recognized when the liability is incurred.

Cash and investments
The City pools cash and investment resources of its various 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. No loss is
recognized when market values decline below costs since it is generally
the policy of the City to hold such investments until they mature.
Investment earnings are allocated based on the source of funds.
Receivables
All 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 up to 240 hours of compensatory time. Any hours in excess
of 240 are paid to the employee.

The City has a defined contribution pension plan. The plan covers
substantially all employees and is funded by a group annuity insurance
contract. Employees eligible for the plan are vested 1008 upon

vested before five years. The contributions to the plan are at the
discretion of the City Council. This plan does not allow for employee
contributions. The total payroll for employees covered by this plan
for the calendar year ended December 31, 1989 was $882,278. The total
payroll for all employees for the calendar year ended December 31,
1989 was $1,507,396. The total pension contribution for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1990 was $84,505.

Note 7. Pension Plan and Deferred Compensation Agreements, Continued
' The City has a deferred compensation plan which is organized under
Internal Revenue Code 457. The Plan allows eligible employees to tax
defer a portion of their gross income not to exceed the lesser of
$7,500 or 258 of the participant's includible compensation. The
deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination,
retirement, death or unforeseeable emergency.
' 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.

Expenditures exceeded appropriations for the year ended June 30, 1990
in the following special revenue funds:

Local Transportation
Fund $ 36,280 $ 50,400 $ 14,120
State Gas Tax Fund $ 713,590 $ 721,376 $ 7,786
The budget overexpenditures were due to the margin of error in
estimating appropriations based on the best known facts at the time
the budgets were adopted. The effect on the financial statements
caused by these overexpenditures was not considered material as the
actual revenue of these funds was also more than the estimated revenue
used in preparing the budgets.
Note 10. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Under state law, Rosemead Redevelopment 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
year ended June 30, 1990, it was exempt from funding any of the set
aside. As of June 30, 1990, the accumulated set aside amount not yet
funded was approximately $2,974,000. The law requires the Agency to
devise a plan to fund the accumulating amount and to begin funding it
by 1996.
During the year ended June 30, 1990, a lawsuit was filed against
several local governments, including the City, asking for monetary
damages in order to assist the plaintiffs in cleanup of a former
landfill now contaminated by hazardous waste. Management and legal
counsel for the City are unable to reasonably estimate the amount of
liability which may be incurred if an adverse decision is rendered.
However, the City intends to vigorously defend itself in regard to
this lawsuit.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
ON INTERNAL CONTROL STRUCTURE
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of 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, 1990, and have issued our
report thereon dated October 10, 1990.
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.
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the City of
Rosemead, California, for the year ended June 30, 1990, we considered its
internal control structure 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 structure.
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.
21
I
For the purpose of this report, we have classified the significant internal
control structure policies and procedures in the following categories:
• Revenue/Receipts
• Purchases/Disbursements
• Payroll/Disbursements
• Financial Reporting
For all of the internal control structure categories listed above, 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.
We noted a certain matter involving the internal control structure and its
operation that we consider to be a reportable condition under standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to
significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control
structure that, in our judgment, could adversely affect the entity's ability to
record, process, summarize, and report financial data consistent with the
assertions of management in the financial statements. The matter that we
consider to be a reportable condition is described below.
CONDITION
The City does not have adequate internal accounting controls because of an
inadequate segregation of duties. A good system of internal accounting control
contemplates an adequate segregation of duties so that no one individual
handles a transaction from its inception to its completion.
MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSE
The City is aware of the lack of segregation of duties. At the present time,
however, the City is not large enough to employ additional personnel in the
accounting department. The City is also of the opinion that it is not cost
beneficial to hire additional accounting personnel.
In addition, it is the City's opinion that there are sufficient compensating
controls to offset the lack of segregation of duties. The compensating
controls include supervision, review, authorization and approval of
transactions by City Council and senior employees of the City.
A material weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or operation
of the specific internal control structure elements does not reduce to a
relatively low level the risk that errors or 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.
Our consideration of the internal control structure 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.
However, we believe the reportable condition described above is not a material
weakness.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
ON SPECIFIC COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO
MAJOR FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
To the Honorable Mayor and
' Members of the City Council
City of Rosemead, California
We have audited the City of Rosemead, California, compliance with the
requirements governing types of services allowed or unallowed; eligibility;
matching, level of effort, and/or earmarking; reporting; special tests and
' provisions for 14.218 - Community Development Block Grant Program; claims for
advances and reimbursements; and amounts claimed or used for matching that are
applicable to its major federal financial assistance program, which is identified
in the accompanying schedule of federal financial assistance, for the year ended
' June 30, 1990. The management of the City is responsible for the City's
compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on compliance with those requirements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,
Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United
States, and 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 material noncompliance with the
requirements referred to above occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test.
' basis, evidence about the City's compliance with those requirements. We believe

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON INTERNAL ACCOUNTING AND
ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROL SYSTEMS USED TO ADMINISTER FEDERAL
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of 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, 1990, and have issued our
report thereon dated October 10, 1990. As part of our audit, we made a study
and evaluation of the internal control systems, including applicable internal
administrative controls, used in administering federal financial assistance
programs to the extent we considered necessary to evaluate the systems as
required by generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the Yellow Book, and the
provisions of Office of Management and Budget Circular A-128, "Audits of State
and Local Governments." For the purpose of this report, we have classified the
significant internal accounting and administrative controls used in administering
federal financial assistance programs in the following categories:
INTERNAL ACCOUNTING CONTROLS
Revenue/Receipts
Expenditures:
Purchasing
Cash disbursements
Payroll
Financial Reporting
ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS
General requirements:
Political activity
Construction project administration
Civil Rights enforcement and administration
Cash management
Davis-Bacon
Relocation assistance and real property acquisition
Federal financial reports
- 29 -
' Specific requirements:
Types of services allowed and unallowed
Cost allocation
Special requirements
The management of the City of Rosemead, California, is responsible for
' establishing and maintaining internal control systems used in administering
federal financial assistance programs. In fulfilling that responsibility,
estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected
' benefits and related costs of control procedures. The objectives of internal
control systems used in administering federal financial assistance programs are
to provide management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that, with
respect to federal financial assistance programs, resource use is consistent with
laws, regulations, and policies; resources are safeguarded against waste, loss,
and misuse; and reliable data are obtained, maintained, and fairly disclosed in
reports.

Because of inherent limitations in any system of internal accounting and
administrative controls used in administering federal financial assistance.
programs, errors or irregularities may nevertheless occur and not be detected.
Also, projection of any evaluation of the systems to future periods is subject
to the risk that procedures may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions or that the degree of compliance with the procedures may deteriorate.
Our study included all of the applicable control categories listed above. During
the year ended June 30, 1990, the City of Rosemead, California, expended 96.78
of its total federal financial assistance under one major federal financial
assistance program. With respect to internal control systems used in
administering this major federal financial assistance program, our study and
evaluation included considering the types of errors and irregularities that could
occur, determining the internal control procedures that should prevent or detect
such errors and irregularities, determining whether the necessary procedures are
prescribed and are being followed satisfactorily, and evaluating any weaknesses.
With respect to the internal control systems used solely in administering the
nonmajor federal financial assistance program of the City of Rosemead,
California, our study and evaluation was limited to a preliminary review of the
systems to obtain an understanding of the control environment and the flow of
transactions through the accounting system. Our study and evaluation of the
internal control systems used solely in administering the nonmajor federal
financial assistance program of the City of Rosemead, California, did not extend
beyond this preliminary review phase.
Our study and evaluation was more limited than would be necessary to express an
opinion on the internal control systems used in administering the federal
financial assistance programs of the City of Rosemead, California. Accordingly,
we do not express an opinion on the internal control systems used in
administering the federal financial assistance programs of the City of Rosemead,
California. Further, we do not express an opinion on the internal control
systems used in administering the major federal financial assistance programs
of the City of Rosemead, California.
Also, our audit, made in accordance with the standards mentioned above, would
not necessarily disclose material weaknesses in the internal control systems used
solely in administering the nonmajor federal financial assistance program.

1 However, our study and evaluation and our audit disclosed the following condition
that we believe results in more than a relatively low risk that errors or
1 irregularities in amounts that would be material to a federal financial
assistance program may occur and not be detected within a timely period. The
matter that we consider to be a reportable condition is described below.
1 CONDITION
The City does not have adequate internal accounting controls because of an
1 inadequate segregation of duties. A good system of internal accounting control
contemplates an adequate segregation of duties so that no one individual
handles a transaction from its inception to its completion.
' MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSE
The City is aware of the lack of segregation of duties. At the present time,
1 however, the City is not large enough to employ additional personnel in the
accounting department. The City is also of the opinion that it is not cost
beneficial to hire additional accounting personnel.
1 In addition, it is the City's opinion that there are sufficient compensating
controls to offset the lack of segregation of duties. The compensating
controls include supervision, review, authorization and approval of
1 transactions by City Council and senior employees of the City.
This condition was considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of
1 the audit tests to be applied in 1) our audit of the general purpose financial
statements, and 2) our audit and review of the City of Rosemead, California,
compliance with laws and regulations, noncompliance with which we believe could
have a material effect on the allowability of program expenditures for the major
1 federal financial assistance program and nonmajor federal financial assistance
program. This report does not affect our reports on the general purpose
financial statements and on the City of Rosemead, California, compliance with
1 laws and regulations dated October 10, 1990.
This report is intended for the information of management of the City of
1 Rosemead, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development via the
Los Angeles County Community Development Commission, and California State
Controller's Office (Division of Audits and Division of Local Government Fiscal
Affairs). This restriction is not intended to limit the distribution of this
1 report, which is a matter of public record.
