INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Honorable Chair and Members of the Governing Board
Azusa Redevelopment Agency
City of Azusa, California
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund,
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Azusa Redevelopment Agency (the Agency), a
component unit of the City of Azusa, California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2011, which
collectively comprise the Agency's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Agency's management. Our responsibility is to express
opinions on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes 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 the 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining
fund information of the Agency, as of June 30, 2011, and the respective changes in financial position
thereof and the respective budgetary comparison for the Combined Low and Moderate Housing Fund for
the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
We would like to draw the reader’s attention to Note 12 – “California Redevelopment Agency
Uncertainty”. The note provides information on two bills passed, AB1X26 and 27 which dissolve
redevelopment agencies effective October 1, 2011 and provide an option to avoid dissolution by making
certain defined payments.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
December 27, 2011, on our consideration of the Agency’s internal control over financial reporting and on
our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements
and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control
over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on
internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing
the results of our audit.

To the Honorable Chair and Members of the Governing Board
Azusa Redevelopment Agency
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the Agency’s financial statements as a whole. The computation of low and moderate income
housing funds excess/surplus are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required
part of the financial statements. These are the responsibility of management and were derived from and
relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements.
The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial
statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information
directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the
financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
The Agency has not presented a management’s discussion and analysis that accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America has determined is necessary to supplement, although
not required to be part of, the basic financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE
AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE
To the Honorable Chair and Members of the Governing Board
Azusa Redevelopment Agency
City of Azusa, California
Compliance
We have audited the Azusa Redevelopment Agency’s (the Agency) compliance with the California Health
and Safety Code as required by Section 33080.1 for the year ended June 30, 2011. Compliance with the
requirements referred to above is the responsibility of the Agency’s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on the Agency’s compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the Guidelines for Compliance
Audits of California Redevelopment Agencies, June 2011, issued by the State Controller and as
interpreted in the Auditing Procedures for Accomplishing Compliance Audits of California Redevelopment
Agencies, August 2011, issued by the Governmental Accounting and Auditing Committee of the California
Society of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to
above that could have a material effect on redevelopment program has occurred. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Agency’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 of the
Agency’s compliance with those requirements.
In our opinion, the Agency complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to
above that are applicable to the redevelopment program for the year ended June 30, 2011.
Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of the Agency is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over
compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit, we
considered the Agency’s internal control over compliance to determine the auditing procedures for the
purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Agency’s internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control does not
allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent,
or detect and correct, noncompliance on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over
compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal control over compliance, such that
there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a compliance requirement will not be
prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis.

Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be
deficiencies, significant deficiencies, or material weaknesses in internal control over compliance. We did
not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material
weaknesses, as defined above.
This report is intended for the information of management, the City Council, and the California State
Controller and it is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other then these specified
parties.

TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2011
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds (19,846,188)$
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities
are different because:
Repayment of bond principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but
the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the statement of net assets. 16,266,911
Bond issuance costs is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but it is
deferred charges in the statement of net assets:
Amortization for current fiscal year (81,904)
Unamortized premium or discounts on bonds issued are revenue or expenditures
in the governmental funds, but these are spread to future periods over the life of
the new bonds:
Amortization for current fiscal year (34,458)
Collections on receivables and loan transactions offset by deferred revenue are
reported as revenue and expenditures in governmental funds; however, they do not
provide revenue or expenses in the statement of activities.(311,854)
Governmental funds report capital outlay as expenditures. However, in the
statement of activities the cost of those assets in capitalized and allocated
over their estimated useful lives through depreciation expense:
Capital outlay expenditures removed 718,430
Depreciation (58,399)
Proceeds of debt is revenue in the governmental funds, but these are additions

I. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a. Description of the Reporting Entity
The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Azusa is a component unit of a reporting entity
that consists of the following primary and component units:
Reporting Entity:
Primary Government:
City of Azusa
Component Units:
Redevelopment Agency of the City of Azusa
Azusa Public Financing Authority
Azusa Industrial Development Authority
The attached basic financial statements contain information relative only to the
Redevelopment Agency of the City of Azusa as one component unit that is an integral
part of the total reporting entity. They do not contain financial data relating to the other
component units.
The Agency was created by Ordinance No. 1055 of the Azusa City Council, adopted on
May 7, 1973. The Agency was established pursuant to the Community Redevelopment
Law of California as codified in Part I of Division 24 of the State of California Health and
Safety Code.
The principal objectives of the Agency are to upgrade residential neighborhoods, improve
the commercial environment, generate added employment opportunities and strengthen
the City of Azusa's economic base. The principal project of the Agency is known as the
Central Business District Redevelopment Project, which was approved by Ordinance
No. 2062 on September 18, 1978. This project has undergone five amendments which
were approved by Ordinance No. 2077 on July 2, 1979, by Ordinance No. 2113 on
July 20, 1981, by Ordinance No. 2197 on November 28, 1983, by Ordinance No. 2249 on
December 17, 1984 and by Ordinance No. 2250 on December 17, 1984.
A second project of the Agency, known as the West End Redevelopment Project, was
approved by Ordinance No. 2196 on November 28, 1983. On November 7, 1988,
Ordinance No. 2382 was passed which approved the merger of the Central Business
District Redevelopment Plan and West End Redevelopment Plan.
On July 17, 1989, the City Council passed Ordinance No. 2402, which approved the
redevelopment plan for the Ranch Center Redevelopment Project. On October 6, 2003,
Ordinance No. 03-06 was passed to add new territory and amend and restate various
limits for the Central Business District and the West End Redevelopment Projects.
On June 26, 2008, Ordinance No. 08-09 passed to add new territory to the Merged
Central Business District and West End Project, and increase the combined tax
increment cap to $300 million.

Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
b. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the
statement of changes in net assets) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities
of the primary government and its component units. For the most part, the effect of
interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities,
which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported
separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and
charges for support. Likewise, the primary government is reported separately from certain
legally separate component units for which the primary government is financially
accountable.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a
given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those
that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues
include: 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use or directly benefit from
goods, services or privileges provided by a given function or segment, and 2) grants and
contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a
particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among
program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and fiduciary funds
even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements.
Major individual governmental funds are reported as separate columns in the fund
financial statements.
c. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when
earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred regardless of the timing of
related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they
are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility
requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial
resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues
are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are
considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon
enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the Agency
considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the
current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as
under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures
related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when
payment is due.
Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses and interest associated with the current fiscal
period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as
revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of special assessments receivable
due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue
of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and
available only when cash is received by the government.

REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF AZUSA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2011
Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
The Agency reports the following major governmental funds:
Combined Low and Moderate Housing Fund
General Agency Fund
Merged Project Area:
- Project fund
- Tax increment fund
- Bonds fund
Governmental Fund Types
Special Revenue Funds account for that portion of tax increment and other revenues
that have been legally restricted for increasing or improving housing for low and
moderate income households. From April 1, 1985, through December 31, 1988, the
Agency established a finding declaring that a substantial effort was being made to
meet low and moderate income housing needs of the community by means of other
state, local and federal funding sources, including the Community Development Block
Grant program of the City of Azusa. Accordingly, all tax increment revenues were
allocated to the debt service funds, as prescribed by Section 33334.2 of the Health
and Safety Code. After December 31, 1988, the Agency allocated a minimum of 20%
of the tax increment revenues received to the special revenue funds. From
July 1, 1991, to June 30, 1993, the Agency has established a finding that a
substantial effort was being made to meet its existing and projected housing needs of
the Ranch Center Project Area by means of funding by the Community Development
Block Grant Program. Tax increment revenues have been appropriately allocated to
the Ranch Center debt service fund.
Debt Service Funds account for the accumulation of resources for the payment of
interest and principal on general long-term debt.
Capital Projects Funds account for financial resources segregated for the
development and redevelopment of the project areas, including acquisition of major
capital facilities, other costs of benefit to the project areas and administrative
expenses incurred in sustaining the Agency.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the
government's policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they
are needed.
d. Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity
1. Cash and Investments
The Agency’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand,
demand deposits and short-term investments with original maturities of three months
or less from the date of acquisition.
Investments for the Agency are reported at fair value. The State Treasurer's
Investment Pool operates in accordance with appropriate state laws and regulations.
The reported value of the pool is the same as the fair value of the pool shares.

REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF AZUSA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2011
Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
2. Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements
outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either "due to/from other
funds" (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or "advances to/from other funds"
(i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances
between funds are reported as "due to/from other funds." Any residual balances
outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are
reported in the government-wide financial statements as "internal balances."
Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a
fund balance reserve account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they
are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial
resources.
All trade and property tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for
uncollectibles.
Property tax revenue is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes have been
levied providing they become available. Available means then due or past due and
receivable within the current period and collected within the current period or
expected to be collected soon enough thereafter (not to exceed 60 days) to be used
to pay liabilities of the current period. The County of Los Angeles collects property
taxes for the Agency. Tax liens attach annually as of 12:01 A.M. on the first day in
January preceding the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. The tax levy covers
the fiscal period July 1 to June 30. All secured personal property taxes and one-half
of the taxes on real property are due November 1; the second installment is due
February 1. All taxes are delinquent, if unpaid, on December 10 and
April 10, respectively. Unsecured personal property taxes become due on the first of
March each year and are delinquent on August 31.
3. Inventories, Prepaid Items and Land Held for Resale
All inventories are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories
of governmental funds are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than
when purchased.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and
are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial
statements.
Land purchased for resale is capitalized as inventory at acquisition costs or net
realizable value if lower.
4. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets
(e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks and similar items), are reported in the applicable
governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial
statements. Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial
individual cost of more than $2,500 (amount not rounded) and an estimated useful
life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated
historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at
estimated fair market value at the date of donation.
20
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF AZUSA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2011
Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 34, the Agency is required to report general
infrastructure assets. The Agency does not have any infrastructure assets.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the
asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are
constructed. Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of
business-type activities is included as part of the capitalized value of the assets
constructed.
Property, plant and equipment of the primary government, as well as the component
units, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated
useful lives:
Assets Years
Structures and improvements 20 - 99
Furniture and equipment
Infrastructure
5 – 25
30 – 65
5. Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term
obligations are reported as liabilities in the governmental activities statement of net
assets. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and
amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds
payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance
costs are reported as deferred charges and amortized over the term of the related
debt.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums
and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face
amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on
debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt
issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not
withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service
expenditures.
6. Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, government funds report the following fund balance
classification:
Nonspendable Fund Balance
The non-spendable fund balance classification includes amounts that cannot be spent
because they are either (a) not in a spendable form or (b) legally or contractually
required to be maintained intact. The “not spendable form” criterion includes items that
are not expected to be converted to cash, for example, inventories and prepaid
amounts. It also includes the long term amount of loans and notes receivable.
21
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF AZUSA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 2011
Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Restricted Fund Balance
The restricted fund balance classification includes amounts that reflect constraints
placed on the use of resources (other than non-spendable items) that are either
(a) externally imposed by creditors (such as through bonded debt reserve funds
required pursuant to debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of
other governments; or (b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling
legislation.
Committed Fund Balance
The committed fund balance classification includes amounts that can only be used for
specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the City Council,
the City’s highest level of decision-making authority. Those committed amounts cannot
be used for any other purpose unless the City Council removes or changes the specific
use by taking the same type of action (for example legislation, resolution, ordinance) it
employed to previously commit those amounts. Committed fund balance also should
incorporate contractual obligations to the extent that existing resources in the fund have
been specifically committed for use in satisfying those contractual requirements. City
Council action to commit fund balance needs to occur within the fiscal reporting
periods; however the amount can be determined subsequently.
Assigned Fund Balance
The assigned fund balance classification includes amounts that are constrained by the
City’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but that are neither restricted nor
committed. The policy hereby delegates the authority to assign amounts to be used for
specific purposes to the Administrative Services Director/Chief Financial Officer for the
purpose of reporting.
II. STEWARDSHIP
Note 2: Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability
a. Budgetary Data
General Budget Policies
The Governing Board approves each year's budget submitted by the Executive
Director prior to the beginning of the new fiscal year. The Board conducts public
meetings prior to its adoption. The budget is prepared by fund, function and activity,
and includes information on the past year, current year estimates and requested
appropriations for the next fiscal year. Supplemental appropriations when required
during the period are also approved by the Board. Intradepartmental budget changes
are approved by the Executive Director. In most cases, expenditures may not exceed
appropriations at the departmental level. At fiscal year-end all operating budget
appropriations lapse. During the year, several supplementary appropriations were
necessary.
Budget Basis of Accounting
Budgets for governmental funds are adopted on a basis consistent with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

III. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS
Note 3: Cash and Investments
As of June 30, 2011, cash and investments were reported in the accompanying financial
statements as follows:
Cash and investments 2,765,603$
Cash and investments with trustees 4,122,490
6,888,093$
The Agency follows the practice of pooling cash and investments of all funds, except for
funds required to be held by fiscal agents under provisions of bond indentures. Interest
income earned on pooled cash and investments is allocated to the various funds based
on cash and investment balances. Interest Income from cash and investments with fiscal
agents is credited directly to the related fund.
Deposits
At June 30, 2011, the carrying amount of the Agency’s deposits was $156,689 and was
equal to the bank balance.
The California Government Code requires California banks and savings and loan
associations to secure a government entity’s deposits by pledging government securities
with a value of 110% of its deposits. California law also allows financial institutions to
secure an Agency’s deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value
of 150% of a City’s total deposits. The City Treasurer may waive the collateral
requirement for deposits that are fully insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC. The collateral
for deposits in federal and state chartered banks is held in safekeeping by an authorized
Agent of Depository recognized by the State of California Department of Banking. The
collateral for deposits with savings and loan associations is generally held in safekeeping
by the Federal Home Loan Bank in San Francisco, California as an Agent of Depository.
These securities are physically held in an undivided pool for all California public agency
depositors. Under Government Code Section 53655, the placement of securities by a
bank or savings and loan association with an “Agent of Depository” has the effect of
perfecting the security interest in the name of the local governmental agency.
Accordingly, all collateral held by California Agents of Depository are considered to be
held for, and in the name of, the local governmental agency.
Investments
Under provision of the Agency’s investment policy, and in accordance with the California
Government Code, the following investments are authorized:
U.S. Treasury Obligations (bills, notes and bonds)
U.S. Government Agency Securities and Instrumentalities of Government Sponsored
Corporations
Mutual Funds
Commercial Paper
Repurchase Agreements

Investments Authorized by Debt Agreements
The above investments do not address investment of debt proceeds held by a bond
trustee. Investments of debt proceeds held by a bond trustee are governed by provisions
of the debt agreements rather than the general provisions of the California Government
Code or the Agency’s investment policy.
Investments in State Investment Pool
The Agency is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is
regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the
Treasurer of the State of California. LAIF is overseen by the Local Agency Investment
Advisory Board, which consists of five members, in accordance with State statute. The
State Treasurer’s Office audits the fund annually. The fair value of the position in the
investment pool is the same as the value of the pool shares.
GASB Statement No. 31
The Agency adopted GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for
certain investments and for External Investment Pools, as of July 1, 1997. GASB
Statement No. 31 establishes fair value standards for investments in participating interest
earning investment contracts, external investment pools, equity securities, option
contracts, stock warrants and stock rights that have readily determinable fair values.
Accordingly, the Agency reports its investments at fair value in the balance sheet. All
investment income, including changes in the fair value of investments, is recognized as
revenue in the operating statement.
Credit Risk
The Agency's investment policy limits investments in medium term notes (MTNs) to those
rated A or higher by Standard and Poor's (S&P) or by Moody's. As of June 30, 2011, the
Agency's investment in medium term notes consisted of various investments rated A/AAA
by Moody’s and by S&P. All securities were investment grade and were legal under State
and Agency law. Investments in U.S. government securities are not considered to have
credit risk; therefore, their credit quality is not disclosed. As of June 30, 2011, the City's
investments in external investment pools and money market mutual funds are unrated.
On August. 5, 2011, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its long-term sovereign
credit rating on the United States of America to AA+ from AAA. As a result, on
August. 8, 2011, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its issuer credit ratings and
related issue ratings on various Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Farm Credit Bank,
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to AA+ from AAA. The City invests in LAIF which invests
in various underlying securities, including the federal agency securities listed above.
While LAIF is not rated, the federal agency securities are, and these have been
affected by this rating change.

Note 3: Cash and Investments (Continued)
Custodial Credit Risk
The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a
depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover deposits or will
not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party.
The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the
counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of
investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party.
As of June 30, 2011, none of the Agency’s deposits or investm ents were exposed to
custodial credit risk.
Interest Rate Risk
The Agency's investment policy limits investment maturities as a means of managing its
exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates. The Agency's
investment policy states that no investment may have a maturity of more than five years
without receiving prior Agency Board approval. The only exception to these maturity limits
shall be the investment of the gross proceeds of tax-exempt bonds, and reserve funds
associated with bond issues. The Agency has elected to use the segmented time
distribution method of disclosure for its interest rate risk.
As of June 30, 2011, the Agency had the following investments and original maturities:

The proceeds of these bonds were used to purchase mortgage loans made to
homeowners for the purpose of financing residential property. These bonds, secured by
first trust deeds and private mortgage insurance, were issued from 1985 through 1992.
Although the Agency has arranged this financing program, these bonds are not payable
from any revenues or assets of the Agency. Generally, the bondholders may look only to
the mortgage loans and other assets held by trustees for security on the indebtedness.

Note 11: Transactions with the State of California
SERAF Shift for fiscal year 2010-2011 and 2011-2012
On July 23, 2009, the State adopted legislation, requiring a shift of monies during fiscal
years 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 to be deposited into the County “Supplemental”
Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (SERAF). These monies were to be distributed
to meet the State’s Prop 98 obligations to schools. The California Redevelopment
Association (CRA) and its member agencies filed a legal action in an attempt to stop
these amounts from having to be paid; however, in May 2010 the Sacramento Superior
Court upheld the legislation. This decision is in the process of being appealed by CRA
and its member agencies.
The payment of the SERAF was due on May 10, 2011, for fiscal year 2010-2011 and it
was made in the amount of $513,029. The legislation allowed this payment to be made
from any available monies present in any project area(s). Subsequent legislation was
passed which even allowed the funding for this payment to be borrowed from the Low

Note 11: Transactions with the State of California (Continued)
and Moderate Income Housing Fund with appropriate findings from its legislative body.
Any amounts borrowed from Low and Moderate Income Housing (including any
suspended set-aside amounts) are to be repaid by June 30, 2015. If those amounts are
not repaid, by that date, then the set-aside percentage to Low and Moderate Income
Housing will increase from 20% to 25% for the remainder of the life of the Agency.
To accomplish the payment, the City advanced the Agency $513,029. In the
accompanying financial statements, the amount paid to the County has been reported as
an advance.
Note 12: California Redevelopment Agency Uncertainty
On July 18, 2011, the California Redevelopment Association (“CRA”) and the League of
California Cities (“League”) filed a petition for writ of mandate with the California Supreme
Court, requesting the Court to declare unconstitutional two bills that were passed as part of
the 2011-12 State Budget, AB1X 26 and 27. AB1X 26 dissolves redevelopment agencies
effective October 1, 2011. AB1X 27, give redevelopment agencies an option to avoid
dissolution if it commits to making defined payments for the benefit of the State, school
districts and certain special districts. In 2011-12, these payments amount to a state-wide total
of $1.7 billion. In 2012-13 and subsequent years, the payments total $400 million, annually.
Each city or county’s share of these payments is determined based on its proportionate share
of state-wide tax increment.
CRA and the League contend that AB1X 26 and 27 are unconstitutional because they violate
Proposition 22 which was passed by the voters in November, 2010. The effect of the
legislation is to achieve a possible unconstitutional result, the use of redevelopment agencies’
tax increment funds to benefit the State and other units of local government, by way of
threatening of the dissolution of redevelopment agencies.
Therefore, the CRA and the League have requested that the Court issue a stay, suspending
the effectiveness of AB1X 26 and 27 until the Court can rule on its constitutionality. CRA and
the League also asked the Court to expedite the briefing and hearing of the case so that a
decision can be rendered by the Court before January 15, 2012, when the first payments are
due. On August 11th, the California Supreme Court agreed to hear the case and granted a
partial stay which was subsequently clarified.
As of the time of the issuance of this report, the outcome of AB1X 26 and 27 upon the
Agency is unknown and consequently the status and even future existence of the Agency is
uncertain as such. In accordance with AB1X 27, the Agency has passed a resolution of
intent to continue and will be required to make a payment to the State in the estimated
amount of $860,944 by January 15, 2012, to avoid dissolution.
