ITEM 7.1.
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DEPARTMENT
DATE: December 18, 2012
MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Jose E. Pulido, City Manag�—r-
By: Tracey L. Hause, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT: COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT (CAFR)
JUNE 30, 2012
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council receive and file the Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report (CAFR) for the year ended June 30, 2012.
BACKGROUND:
1. Since 1994, the City had been contracting with Conrad and Associates LLP for
auditing services.
2. The City has historically produced General Purpose Financial Statements instead
of a CAFR. However, for the fiscal years ending in 1996, 1997 and 1998, the City
completed CAFR's.
3. Beginning in 1999, the City determined that since a CAFR was not required by
State law and returned to completing Basic Financial Statements. Further,
preparation of a CAFR required additional staff time and higher audit fees.
4. In 2006, Conrad and Associates LLP became Mayer Hoffman McCann PC and the
City continued to have them complete the year end audits and financial statements.
5. On June 28, 2011, the City Council approved the Fiscal Year (FY) 2011-12 City
Budget. With the approval of the Budget, the City Council directed City staff to
issue Requests for Proposals (RFP's) for all City contracts, including auditing
services. In addition a $50,000 funding appropriation for auditing services
associated with the FY 2010-11 year end process was included in the FY 2010-11
adopted Budget.
6. On April 18, 2011, staff issued a RFP for the City's auditing services.

7. On May 13, 2011, the RFP formally closed and the City received two proposals
from Mayer Hoffman McCann PC and Vasquez & Company LLP.
8. On July 15, 2011, the City Manager/Interim Administrative Services Director and
the City's Accountant conducted an interview meeting with the representatives from
Vasquez & Company, LLP. It was determined after that meeting Vasquez &
Company could help the City undertake a comprehensive overview of the City's
finances and management practices. Further, the City would be returning to
producing a CAFR and Vasquez and Company, LLP would be completing the
report as part of the audit process.
9. On August 2, 2011, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement
in the amount of $45,000 with Vasquez & Company, LLP for auditing services for
three years with two one-year options.
10. On October 31, 2012, Vasquez & Company completed their field work and has
prepared the CAFR and related reports for FY 2011-12. As a recipient of Federal
grant funds in past years, the City has been required to be in compliance with the
requirements of the Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of
States, Local Governments and Non -Profit Organizations. The process to ensure
that the City is in compliance with this Circular is commonly known as the "Single
AudiC. For the FY 2011-12, the City did not receive in excess of $500,000 in
Federal grant monies; therefore a Single Audit and corresponding reports were not
required.
ANALYSIS:
A Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) is a set of U.S. government financial
statements comprising the financial report of a state, municipal or other governmental
entity that complies with the accounting requirements—generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP)—promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB).
The CAFR accounting structure provides standardization and example documents. All
levels of government -federal, state, local and municipal—produce a CAFR to document
an accurate picture of institutional funds, enterprise or financial holdings, assets and
total investment incomes for those government and nongovernmental entities using the
report.
Beginning with FY 2010-11, the City has moved from a basic financial statement
presentation to this more transparent reporting. Most governmental agencies utilize this
type of reporting, providing for ease of comparing financial data from one agency to
another. The CAFR presents the financial activities for both the City and Redevelopment
Agency.

Vasquez & Company, LLP, Certified Public Accountants have issued an unqualified
("clean") opinion on the City and Agency's financial statements for the year ended June
30, 2012. The City also provides a narrative introduction, overview and analysis of the
CAFR in the form of Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). It can be found
immediately following the independent auditors' report (Attachment "A").
In keeping with the theme of a high performance organization, staff will be submitting the
FY 2011-12 CAFR to the Government Finance Officers' Association (GFOA) for the
Excellence in Financial Report Award Program by December 31, 2012. The GFOA
recognizes innovative programs, contributions to the practice of government finance
that exemplify outstanding financial management. The award stresses practical,
documented work that offers leadership to the profession and promotes improved public
finance.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action of receiving and filing does not have a fiscal impact on the FY 2012-13 City
Budget. However, staff has begun the mid -year budget analysis and will be incorporating
the results of actual spending in the FY 2011-12, as reflected in the CAFR and the Mid -
Year Budget Report, which will be first discussed with the Mid -Year Budget Ad Hoc
Committee (i.e., Mayor Yu and Councilmember Blum) in early February, and then
presented to the entire City Council on February 19, 2013.
CONCLUSION:
Staff is recommending that the City Council receive and file the Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report (CAFR) for the year ended June 30, 2012.

To the Honorable City Council,
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the City of Temple City ("City") for the year
ended June 30, 2012, is hereby submitted as mandated by applicable State of California statutes.
These statutes require that the City annually issue a report on its financial position and activity, and
that an independent firm of certified public accountants audit this report. Responsibilities for both the
accuracy of the data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures
rests with the City's management. The information in this report is intended to present the reader
with a comprehensive view of the City's financial position and the results of its operations for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, along with additional disclosures and financial information designed
to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the City's financial activities.
Vasquez & Company LLP, Certified Public Accountants, have issued an unqualified ("clean") opinion
on the City's financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2012. The independent auditor
concluded, based upon the audit, the City's financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2012 are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The
auditor's report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report. Generally
accepted accounting principles also require that management provide a narrative introduction,
overview and analysis of the basic financial statements in the form of Management's discussion and
analysis (MD&A). It can be found following the independent auditor's report.
PROFILE OF THE GOVERNMENT
The City is centrally located in the west San Gabriel Valley approximately 13 miles east of downtown
Los Angeles. The City was incorporated on May 25, 1960 under the general laws of the State of
California. On April 16, 1971, the City adopted Resolution No. 71-1084 declaring it a charter city.
The City is approximately 3.85 square miles and is surrounded by the cities of Arcadia, San Gabriel,
EI Monte, Rosemead and unincorporated portions of Los Angeles County. The 2010 U.S. Census
Bureau indicates a total population of 35,558. The City is predominately a residential community
with over 10,000 residential parcels. The City operates under the Council — Manager form of
government and contracts for many of its public services including law enforcement.
LOCALECONOMY
The City has weathered the current economic environment as a result of substantial reserves and a
solid property and sales tax base. The San Gabriel Valley has a varied residential, commercial and
industrial base that adds to the stability of the unemployment rate. The U.S. economy continues to
be weak and the recovery is persistently slow. The U.S. still faces plenty of obstacles and many
economists caution that growth is still a ways off.
MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Substantial progress in priorities previously identified by the City Council and staff has been made
during the past fiscal year:
Economic Develooment
1. Facilitated discussions and tenant terms for new additions at Temple City Marketplace including
85 Degrees (bakery) and a proposed Starbucks with a drive-through. Discussions are also
underway to recruit a new restaurant (The Habit).
2. Opened discussions and negotiations with property owners of the former Alpha Beta site, which
resulted in a proposed mixed-use project that could allow for a new park and joint parking
opportunities under a possible public-private partnership (i.e., development agreement). A cost
study—or pro forma—is underway and will determine the feasibility of different development
scenarios for City Council consideration.
3. Initiated development of the City's economic development roadmap, a tangible work plan that
looks to define "economic development" for Temple City by identifying initiatives that can be
accomplished by the City and its stakeholders over the next three to five years.
4. Captured over $4.8 million in grant funding to help drive the design and pre -construction phases
for the Rosemead Boulevard Enhancement Project. Upon completion in 2014, the project will
open up access points to commercial uses, enhance the corridor's overall functionality and
aesthetic, introduce protected bike lanes and set the stage for future redesign of the Las Tunas
corridor.
5. Drafted a downtown parking study to provide a comprehensive review of current and future
parking needs along Las Tunas Drive. The goal is to identify parking problems and potential
solutions to help retain and attract businesses along the corridor, and to mitigate parking impacts
to adjacent neighborhoods, while mitigating parking impacts to adjacent neighborhoods. The
study was completed in October 2012.
6. Developed a public art ordinance that sets the stage for a robust public art program, adding
vibrancy, aesthetics, culture and new destinations to Temple City's built environment.
7. The City made necessary improvements to the business licensing process, including making the
application more user-friendly and clearly stating expectations for supplemental applicant
information.
Financial Solvencv and Accountabilitv
1. Completed and adopted an ordinance that safeguards the City's $21.7 million General Fund
reserve. The policy, which supports the City's long history of conservative budgeting, mandates
the availability of adequate reserves to hedge against economic downturns and other
emergencies. It also provides resources that can be used for one-time needs such as major
capital improvement and economic development projects.
2. Continued use of a zero -based approach to establish balanced City budgets that increase the
level of City services while yielding operational efficiencies.
3. Outsourced fee collection services for parking tickets and administrative citations. This new
arrangement allowed a collection agency to recover an estimated $50,000 in one-time revenue
through use of the State Franchise Tax Board's Tax Intercept Program.
4. Revised the City's antiquated fee schedule and cost allocation plan to reflect the true cost of City
services, eliminating approximately $400,000 in annual General Fund operational subsidies.
Infrastructure, Maintenance and Safetv
1. Captured nearly $432,000 in Safe Routes to School funds for pedestrian safety improvements
near nine Temple City schools. The planned improvements—scheduled to begin within the next
year—will result in the installation of new sidewalks, crosswalks, curb ramps, flashing pedestrian
crosswalk lights and speed feedback signs.
2. Upgraded traffic signals at Temple City Boulevard/Las Tunas Drive and Baldwin Avenue/Olive
Street to provide critical pedestrian safety improvements including vehicular left -turn signal
heads and legally compliant pedestrian curb ramps. Federal and county transportation funds
covered the $206,000 cost.
3. Coordinated the timely cleanup, service delivery and the cost inventory associated with the
unprecedented November 2011 windstorm. Operations transitioned to recovery mode within 24
hours, and all debris removed from City streets in three weeks. The City's cleanup efforts were
one of the quickest and best coordinated in the San Gabriel Valley.
4. Reinstituted a four-year trim cycle for City -owned trees that will foster the proper growth of nearly
5,700 trees, and reduce liability from falling limbs and other unsound conditions.
5. Improved the appearance of Civic Center facilities to be more aesthetically pleasing and inviting
to the public, by adding new landscaping at City Hall, and repainting the exterior of City Hall and
Council Chambers.
Parks and Communitv Services
1. Hosted 12 community events that promote civic engagement, increase cultural unity and
strengthen community image. (e.g., summer concert series, Halloween Carnival, Fall Festival,
Lights on Temple City, Lunar New Year Celebration, Arbor Day Event and Easter Egg Hunt).
2. Offered 16 new classes to meet changing customer needs, including academic courses for
youth, computer instruction courses for youth and seniors, and a modified exercise program for
seniors. Classes in general saw a 6% increase in attendance over the prior fiscal year.
3. Partnered with YWCA Intervale to provide seniors with case management services in five
different languages. Services include advocacy, housekeeping, care giving, bill payment
assistance, and vision and hearing services.
4. Made numerous facility improvements at City parks including but not limited to the resurfacing of
basketball courts, replacement of tennis court screens and construction of new monument
identification signs.
Public Information and Enaaoement
1. Built solid relationships with English and Chinese language media through news releases and
introductions.
2. Rebranded the former city newsletter into Temple City Connect Magazine, a professionally
produced 32 -page quarterly magazine that has been well received by our residents.
3. Launched the first Citizen's Academy, an engagement and leadership succession program
allowing citizens to understand the workings of City Hall through interaction with City officials.
4. Established the City's social media sites and user policies. User activity has grown significantly
since site launches through ad campaigns, the posting of timely and relevant content, and direct
dialogue with users.
5. Secured a FCC license and other clearances to launch the City's first AM radio station by
October. The radio station (AM 1690) will be used to announce community events and traffic
advisories (stemming primarily from Rosemead Boulevard road construction).
6. Made improvements to, and added timely postings to the City website; initiated the RFP process
for the development of a new website. The contract was awarded in September 2012, with site
launch by June 2013.
7. Repurposed the City's Neighborhood Watch Program for greater civic involvement. Meetings are
now well attended at an average of 70 residents per meeting—up from 2 to 4 in previous years.
8. Established an outreach and messaging model (based on the Rosemead Boulevard Project
community meetings) for future civic engagement efforts.
9. Made significant improvements to the annual City budget document for greater transparency and
understanding. This included new presentation formats, a Budget -in -Brief discussion and
performance metrics for each Budget fund.
Strateoic Plannino
1. Finalized the City's first-ever bicycle master plan, which defines a network of designated
bikeways and safety improvements to connect residents to recreational opportunities and
alternate forms of transportation. The plan also serves as a tool for securing funding
opportunities—including the $443,000 state grant for new bike lanes along Rosemead
Boulevard. A $480,000 grant application for citywide bike lanes is pending notice of award.
2. Began a five-year update of the City's Housing Element, a State mandated exercise that looks to
adequately plan for the housing needs of all Temple Citians, regardless of income. A draft
document will be completed in August for public review and consideration by the State
Department of Housing and Community Development.
3. Partnered with Southern California Edison and the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments
to prepare a communitywide Climate Action Plan. Scheduled for completion by October, the plan
will project Temple City's energy usage for the next 20 years, and provide recommendations for
how the community can reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The
partnership also avails the City to the reimbursement of costs by Southern California Edison for
certain energy efficiency upgrades (e.g., new street lighting and HVAC units).
4. Initiated development of a traffic calming master plan to identify street improvements that slow
speed and reduce cut -through traffic through neighborhoods, and better manage circulation. Two
public meetings were held to solicit input. A draft plan will be presented for the Public Safety
Commission and City Council to review in fall. The finalized document will enable the City to
pursue grant opportunities and consider proposed improvements (e.g., speed humps, bulb outs,
and traffic circles).
5. Completed a much-needed update of the City's 1996 emergency preparedness plan. The
document identifies the deployment of resources available in the event of an emergency, and
iv
ensures response compliance with homeland security requirements. It also makes the City
eligible to request state and federal reimbursement costs for local emergency response efforts.
6. Worked with Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department (Temple Station) to complete a three-
year strategic plan prioritizing the City's law enforcement goals. The plan essentially focuses
staff efforts on achieving initiatives that make law enforcement more efficient and effective; and
includes performance measures demonstrating year-to-year achievements, providing a basis for
Temple Station's annual report card to the community.
7. Developed internal department work plans identifying each department's separate tasks and
responsibilities in its special area of focus. The next phase of planning, which kicks off in January
2013, incorporates these major initiatives into one strategic plan that will capture a
comprehensive big -picture vision for the City.
Other
Partnered with the City Prosecutor to assess and update the City's municipal code to incorporate
best practices, meet legal mandates and address current conditions. This resulted in a
registration program for vacant properties, and the establishment of administrative citation and
errant shopping cart ordinances—all which collectively act to enhance the appearance of Temple
City neighborhoods. Proposed code amendments scheduled for City Council consideration in
August will address fireworks restrictions, smoking in public places, frequency of yard sales, and
the required inspection of residential properties for health, safety and consumer purposes.
2. Took all necessary actions to preserve former redevelopment agency assets from being
disposed to the State (per AB x1 26 and AB 1484). This included the transferring of property to
the City, encumbering bond proceeds for the Rosemead Boulevard Enhancement Project, and
preparing tedious recognized obligation payment schedules (ROPS) pursuant to State
Department of Finance regulations.
OTHER FINANCIAL INFOMRATION
Internal Control
Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the information
contained in this report, based upon a comprehensive framework of internal control that it has
established for this purpose. The internal control structure is designed to protect the City's assets
from loss, theft, or misuse and to ensure that adequate accounting data is compiled for the
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal control
should not exceed anticipated benefits, the objective is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute
assurance that the financial statements are free of any material misstatements.
Budaetary and Accountina Svstem
The City is required to adopt a budget for the following year before the end of each fiscal year. The
objective of budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with legal provision embodied in the annual
appropriated budget approved by the City Council. The City's budgetary control is maintained at the
individual departmental level and any change in the adopted appropriations, by department requires
approval from the City Manager and/or City Council.
Cash Management
Cash resources of the individual funds are combined to form a pool of cash and investments. The
City Council adopts an Investment Policy ("Policy') annually and all investments are managed in
accordance with the Policy, which complies with all applicable California statutes and Federal
regulations. It is intended to preserve and protect the investment principals, maintain sufficient
liquidity and diversification to meet anticipated cash flows and avoid incurring unreasonable market
risks and attain a reasonable market rate of return.
MIZA , IFiFL:C: I,iSi
The City is a member of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority ("Authority'). The Authority
is composed of 123 California public entities and is organized under a joint powers agreement
pursuant to California Government. The purpose of the Authority is to arrange and administer
programs for the pooling of self-insured losses, to purchase excess insurance or reinsurance and to
arrange for group purchased insurance for property and other coverage. For general liability, the
first $30,000 of each occurrence is charged directly to the member's primary deposit. The protection
for each member is $50,000,000 per occurrence and $50,000,000 annual aggregate. Administrative
expenses are paid from the Authority's investment earnings. For Workers' Compensation, each
member remits a primary deposit to cover estimated losses for a fiscal year. After the close of a
fiscal year, outstanding claims are valued and a retrospective deposit computation is then made for
each open claim. Again, administrative expenses are paid by the Authority's investment earnings.
The protection of each member is $10,000,000 per occurrence and $10,000,000 annual aggregate.
The City also purchases pollution legal liability insurance, property insurance, earthquake and flood
insurance and crime insurance.
Pension and Other Postemolovment Benefits
The City contributes to the California Public Employees Retirement System ("CaIPERS") a cost-
sharing multiple -employer public employee defined benefit pension plan. CaIPERS provides
retirement, disability benefits and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. CaIPERS acts
as a common investment and administrative agent for participating public entities within the State of
California. The City also provides postemployment healthcare benefits for retirees and their
dependents. With the implementation of GASB Statements 43 and 45, the City discloses the costs
and liability associated with other postemployment benefits such as retiree healthcare.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The City's CAFR was prepared through combined efforts of City staff. Special recognition is due the
Administrative Services Department staff for their effort to ensure timely and accurate reporting. I
would also like to thank the City Council for their continued support and interest in planning and
conducting their financial operations of the City in a responsible and progressive manner.
