has a land area of 13.6 square miles and a population of 42,810. The City is primarily a"bedroom"community with
relatively little commercial activity.
The City has operated under the council-manager form of government since incorporation. Policy-making and
legislative authority are vested in the governing council,which consists of five council members, including the mayor
and mayor pro-tem. The governing council is responsible,among other things,for passing ordinances,adopting the
budget, appointing committees and hiring the city manager and the city attorney. The city manager is responsible for
carrying out the policies and ordinances of the governing council, for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the
government, and for appointing the heads of the government's departments. The council is elected on a non-
partisan, at-large basis. Council members are elected to four-year staggered terms with two or three council
members elected every two years. The council designates the mayor and mayor pro-tem for a one-year term.
Though the General fund reserves of the City increased during the fiscal year ended June 30,2004, it is important to
continue to measure the City's financial strength over time, notjust on the basis of the most recent three or four years
experience. The budget adopted by the City Council for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005 presents the
expectation of a decrease of General fund reserves. Potential economic downturn and the need to establish an
infrastructure renewal and maintenance program will require continued conservative fiscal policies.
MAJOR INITIATIVES
The City's staff,following specific directives of the City Council and the City Manager, has been involved in a variety
of projects throughout the year. These projects reflect the government's commitment to ensuring that its citizens are
able to live and work in an enviable environment.

Standards Committee to review the existing residential development standards and determine if any
modifications are necessary.

event on the Point Vicente Interpretive Center grounds.
➢ The Los Serenos de Pointe Vicente docents continued their successful docent-led hike programs at several
sites throughout the City.

➢ The City hosted the fourth annual Shakespeare By the Sea drama production at Upper Point Vicente Park.
➢ Recreation and parks staff continued to coordinate several annual community events including the Abalone
Cove Beach Clean-Up Day and Breakfast with Santa.
➢ Once again,the City has qualified for the use of Community Development Block grant funds for the REACH
program for the developmentally challenged.
Administration
➢ The City celebrated its 30th Anniversary of incorporation with two special community events. A family-friendly
Community Barbecue and Picnic was held in September 2003 at Upper Point Vicente Park and a formal
dinner dance was hosted at the Los Verdes Country Club in November 2003. A thirteen-member resident
volunteer committee assisted the City in planning both events.
➢ The City Council sponsored a Community Leaders' Breakfast meeting in March 2004 that featured a
discussion of municipal finance problems and possible solutions. Representatives from City committees and
VI
commissions, adjoining cities and local districts, homeowners associations, community volunteer
organizations and the local business community attended the Breakfast.
➢ The City continued to publish the widely read and much acclaimed quarterly City Newsletter. In FY 03-04,
the newsletter featured articles on Marine training exercises at Long Point, the City's new Neighborhood
Compatibility Ordinance, the Update of the City's General Plan, the City Council's Goal Setting Workshop
and the acquisition of the Lower Point Vicente Park and the Point Vicente Fishing Access properties from
Los Angeles County.
➢ The City Council continued to provide financial assistance to a variety of non-profit organizations that provide
service to the community.
➢ The City completed a Girls' Softball Feasibility Study, which studied five park sites to determine where new
softball fields could be located in the community.
➢ The City entered into an Agreement with Cox Communications to install a fiber optic cable connection from
the City Studio to the Cox network to enable live and taped cable broadcasts directly from the City studio.
➢ The City continued to expand its presence on the local cable television network by moving production and
editing of its monthly cable television show"RPV CityTalk" and other original programming to the Multi-Media
Studio located at City Hall.
➢ The City changed medical insurance carriers, thereby cutting the City's cost for medical insurance premiums
by 30%, while still providing City employees and their dependents with equivalent or better coverage levels.

of Rancho Palos Verdes unjustly denied him a permit to use a radio antenna for commercial purposes. At
issue is whether the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 provides for money damages from city officials
in cases of violations, or simply a court order requiring the city's compliance.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Finance department of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining an appropriate internal control
structure. The internal control system is designed to ensure that the assets of the City are protected from loss,theft,
or misuse and to ensure that adequate accounting data is compiled to allow for the preparation of financial
statements in conformitywith Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The internal control structure is designed to
provide reasonable,but not absolute,assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance
recognizes that: (1)the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and(2)the valuation of
costs and benefits requires estimates and judgements by management.
Single Audit. As a recipient of federal,state, and county financial assistance,the City is responsible for ensuring that
an adequate internal control structure is in place to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations related to
those programs. This internal control structure is subject to periodic evaluation by management. In years when over
$500,000 is expended on Federal financial assistance programs, the City is required to undergo an annual single
VII
audit in conformity with the provisions of the Single Audit Act of 1984 and U.S. Office of Management and Budget
Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. For the year ended June 30,
2004, less than$500,000 was expended on Federal financial assistance programs; and therefore,a single audit was
not required.
Budgeting Controls. The City of Rancho Palos Verdes maintains budgetary controls. The objective of these
budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisions contained in the annual appropriated budgets
approved by the City Council, Redevelopment Agency Board, and Improvement Authority Commission. Activities of
the General fund,Special Revenue funds,Capital Projects funds,Debt Service fund and Permanent fund are included
in the annual appropriated budgets of the government units. The level of budgetary control(that is,the level at which
expenditures cannot legally exceed the appropriated amount) is established at the department/function level within
each fund. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device. The City also maintains an
encumbrance accounting system as one method of maintaining budgetary control. Encumbrances lapse at year-end,
and any unexpended balance is eligible to be carried over to the following year's budget appropriations with Council
approval.
General Government Functions. The following schedule presents a summary of all Governmental fund revenues for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 with the amount and percentage of increases or decreases in relation to prior
year revenue:
Increase/ Percent of
(Decrease) Increase/
Amount from FY02-03 (Decrease)
Taxes $ 12,081,242 $ 1,035,014 9.4%
Licenses and permits 1,309,732 (153,403) -10.5%
Fines and forfeitures 101,788 (13,660) -11.8%
Use of money and property 732,971 (70,539) -8.8%
Charges for services 378,995 174,197 85.1%
Revenues from other agencies 3,453,070 (865,008) -20.0%
Other revenues 2,363,433 1,809,398 326.6%
TOTAL REVENUES $ 20,421,231 $ 1,915,999 10.4%
With overall revenues increasing by over$1.9 million for the year,the City recognized large fluctuations in several of
the different revenue categories. These increases and decreases are discussed below.
Tax revenue increased by over$1 million when compared to FY02-03. The strength of local property values provided
a property tax increase of more than $320,000. An increase in the occupancy rate within the City's commercial
district contributed to a Sales ax increase of about$200,000. The City began collecting a storm water franchise tax
from waste haulers in excess of$100,000. Cable franchise tax increased by about$70,000 due to increased cable
rates and usage. Finally, golf tax revenue of about$130,000 was added to the Tax revenue category for FY03-04.
Previously, it was reported in the Licenses and Permits revenue category.
The increase in Charges for Services was attributable to the City collecting Quimby fees of more than$110,000 and
Environmental Excise Tax of more than $60,000 from residential tract developments.
The decrease of revenues from other agencies was primarily the result of the State's temporary increase of the
Vehicle License Fee rate during Fall 2003. During the temporary increase, the State did not remit Vehicle License
Fee backfill for three months. The City's loss of revenue is characterized by the State as a loan; however, Staff has
conservatively elected not to record the revenue and a corresponding receivable from the State.
Other revenues increased by more than$1.8 million due to the receipt of insurance proceeds for the emergency San
Ramon drainage project completed in FY02-03.
The following schedule presents a summary of all Governmental fund expenditures for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2004, and the amount and percentage of increases and decreases in relation to prior year amounts:
VIII
Increase/ Percent of
(Decrease) Increase/
Amount from FY02-03 (Decrease)
Administration $ 3,328,272 $ 235,673 7.6%
Public safety 3,038,650 (55,355) -1.8%
Public works 4,800,709 (490,941) -9.3%
Parks and recreation 945,547 159,759 20.3%
Planning,building and code enforcement 2,362,503 168,238 7.7%
Pass through to other agencies 156,064 19,160 14.0%
Capital outlay 368,018 (3,524,622) -90.5%
Debt service 805,035 (31,200) -3.7%
TOTAL EXPENDITURES $ 15,804,798 $ (3,519,288) -18.2%
The overall $3.5 million decrease in expenditures is due to large fluctuations in several expenditure categories.
These increases and decreases are discussed below.
The Administration expenditures increase was primarily due to an $84,000 increase in legal fees resulting from
litigation, and a $125,000 increase in information technology expenditures resulting from several large projects,
including the purchase of ortho-photographic maps for the City's Graphic Information System.
The net decrease in Public works expenditures is almost entirely due to the continuance of FY03-04 street slurry seal
projects to FY04-05.
Parks and recreation expenditures increased due to consulting costs associated with activities of the Open Space,
Planning and Park Recreation Task Force.
Total capital outlay expenditures decreased by a net amount of more than $3.5 million. The City Council cut
proposed capital outlay expenditures from the FY03-04 budget due to the State budget crisis. In addition, capital
project budgets vary each year, due to the City's needs and funding availability. The annual residential overlay
project was postponed to FY04-05 and there were no large storm drain construction projects.
Budget to Actual Comparison. Once again,the City experienced a favorable budget variance in the General fund for
the fiscal year ended June 30,2004. Actual General fund revenues were approximately$1,979,000 greater than the
amount budgeted,while expenditures were approximately$755,000 less than the amount budgeted. The positive
variance resulted from unexpected receipt of Vehicle License Fee revenue during the State budget crisis, the
continued careful management of resources, and the continued strength of property values during FY03-04.
Governmental Fund Balances. The combined fund balances of all Governmental Funds increased by approximately
$4,616,000 from the prior year. The net increase is primarily attributable to reduced spending on infrastructure
renewal and maintenance, as well as the receipt of insurance proceeds related to the emergency San Ramon
drainage project completed in FY02-03.
Debt Administration. At June 30, 2004, the City had no general obligation debt. The City's debt consists of one tax
increment bond issued during FY97-98 and related deferred interest payable. The schedule for repayment of this
bond is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Cash Management. To obtain increased flexibility in cash management,the City employs a pooled cash system.The
goals of the City's investment policy are safety,liquidity,and yield, in that order. Investments are currently maintained
with the State Treasurer's Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF); however, the City's investment policy permits
investments legally allowable understate law. LAIF provides high safety and liquidity and is operated specifically for
local governments. The City's invested balance with LAIF as of June 30,2004 was$33,314,937. The average return
on invested funds was 1.535%. Earnings are allocated to the various funds based on average cash balances.
Risk Management. The City of Rancho Palos Verdes is a member of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority
(CJPIA). With 106 members, it is the largest joint powers insurance authority in California. Through the CJPIA,the
City is self-insured against liability and workers' compensation claims. As protection against catastrophic loss,
members fund a pool to finance large settlements. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, Rancho Palos
Verdes continued its proactive liability risk management role through careful monitoring of losses, working closely
with the CJPIA's third-party claims adjuster, and designing and implementing programs to minimize risks and reduce
losses. In addition,the City Manager's staff analyzes workers compensation issues by monitoring work conditions,
and organizing and implementing safety-training programs to reduce employee exposure to hazards.
ix
Fiduciary Operations. The City of Rancho Palos Verdes has a fiduciary fund that is used to account for assets(cash)
held by the City in a trustee capacity or as an agent for other governmental units, private organizations or individuals.
The trust and agency fund is restricted as to its use and is not available to fund the operating activities of the City
and, as such, are offset by a liability equal to the carrying amount of the asset.
OTHER INFORMATION
Independent Audit. The City requires an annual audit by independent certified public accountants. The accounting
firm of Vavrinek, Trine, Day&Company, LLP conducted this year's audit. The auditors' report on the government-
wide financial statements and combining and individual fund statements and schedules is included in the financial
section of this report.
GFOA Certificate of Achievement Award. The Government Finance Officer's Association of the United States and
Canada (GFOA) oversees a prestigious national award program to recognize conformance with the highest
standards of report preparation. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement,a government unit must publish
an easily readable and efficiently organized CAFR. This report must satisfy both Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles and applicable legal requirements.
The GFOA awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Rancho Palos
Verdes for its CAFR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. This was the eleventh consecutive year that the City of
Rancho Palos Verdes has achieved this prestigious award. A copy of the GFOA Certificate of Achievement is
included later in the introductory section of this year's CAFR. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one
year only. We believe our current CAFR continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program's requirements
and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
CSMFO Certificate of Award for Outstanding Financial Reporting. The California Society of Municipal Finance
Officers (CSMFO) awarded a Certificate of Award for Outstanding Financial Reporting to the City of Rancho Palos
Verdes for its CAFR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. A copy of this Certificate of Award has also been
included later in the CAFR's introductory section. The certificate is issued in recognition of meeting professional
standards and criteria in reporting which reflect a high level of quality in the annual financial statements.
Acknowledgments. Completion of this report was the accomplishment by combined efforts of many individuals,
especially Kathryn Downs,Accounting Manager, who prepared the report. I wish to acknowledge the assistance of
our auditors, Vavrinek, Trine, Day& Company, LLP and the contributions of other Finance Department staff: Gary
Gyves, Jane Lin, Teresa Takaoka, Gayle Vanoverbeck, Selena Wright, and Nancy Vitez.
I would also like to recognize the City Council for their continued leadership directing the City to achieve a sound

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
Management's Discussion and Analysis
June 30, 2004
As management of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, we offer readers of the City of Rancho
Palos Verdes'financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities
of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. We encourage
readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that
we have furnished in our letter of transmittal, which can be found on pages iv-x of this report.
Financial Highlights
➢ The assets of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes exceed its liabilities, at the close of the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, by$118,355,813 (net assets). Of this amount,
$14,271,456(unrestricted net assets) may be used to meet the government's ongoing
obligations to citizens and creditors.
➢ The City's total net assets increased by$2,907,037. This increase is primarily
attributable to the excess of General fund revenues over General fund expenditures.
➢ As of June 30, 2004, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balances of$23,752,320, an increase of$4,616,433 in comparison with the prior year.
The increase in combined ending fund balances is primarily attributable to reduced
spending on infrastructure renewal and maintenance projects and receipt of insurance
proceeds from the emergency San Ramon drainage project completed in FY02-03.
Approximately$9,884,560 (unreserved fund balance) is available for spending at the
government's discretion. The combined unreserved fund balance includes the RDA Debt
Service negative fund balance of$12,070,150.
➢ As of June 30, 2004, unreserved fund balance for the General fund was $14,066,002 or
117%of total General fund expenditures and transfers out.
➢ The City's total debt increased by$3,120 (0.06%)during the current fiscal year. The total
increase was entirely attributable to an increase in the accumulation of employee
compensated absences.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial
statements, which are comprised of three components: 1)government-wide financial statements;
2)fund financial statements; and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains
other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are
designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City's finances, in a manner similar to a
private-sector business.
The statement of net assets presents information on all of the City's assets and liabilities, with the
difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net
assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City of Rancho
Palos Verdes is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the government's net assets
changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as
the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash
flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only
result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g. uncollected taxes and earned but unused
vacation leave).

CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
Management's Discussion and Analysis
June 30, 2004
Both the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are
principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities)from
other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user
fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City include
general government, public safety, public works, planning, building and safety, and recreation.
The City does not have business-type activities.
The government-wide financial statements include not only the City of Rancho Palos Verdes itself
(known as the primary government), but also a legally separate Redevelopment Agency and a
legally separate Improvement Authority for which the City of Rancho Palos Verdes is financially
accountable. Financial information for these component units has been included as an integral
part of the primary government.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 11-12 of this report.
Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain
control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City of
Rancho Palos Verdes, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure
and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City
can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same
functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial
statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on
balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be
useful in evaluating a government's near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term
financing decisions. Both the governmental balance sheet and governmental fund statement of
revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this
comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City of Rancho Palos Verdes maintains 29 individual governmental funds. Information is
presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund
statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General fund, the
Street Maintenance fund, the Capital Improvements fund and the RDA Debt-Service fund, all of
which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other 25 governmental funds are
combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non-
major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this
report.
The City of Rancho Palos Verdes adopts an annual appropriated budget for each of its
governmental funds. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for each
governmental fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 13-20 of this report.

CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
Management's Discussion and Analysis
June 30, 2004
Proprietary funds. The City of Rancho Palos Verdes maintains one type of proprietary fund.
Internal service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally
among the City's various functions. The City uses internal service funds to account for its fleet of
vehicles, computer systems, furniture and equipment, employee benefits, and Civic Center
building improvements. Because these services predominantly benefit the governmental
function, they have been included within governmental activities in the government-wide financial
statements.
Proprietary fund financial statements provide the same type of information as the government-
wide financial statements, only in more detail. All three internal service funds are combined into a
single, aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data
for the internal service funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this
report.
Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to
a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.
The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 24-43 of this report.
Other information. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major
governmental funds and internal service funds are presented immediately following the notes to
the financial statements. Combing and individual fund statements and schedules can be found
on pages 50-89 of this report.
Government-wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial
position. In the case of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, assets exceeded liabilities by
$118,355,813 at June 30, 2004. By far the largest portion of the City's net assets (78 percent)
reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g. land, infrastructure, buildings, equipment). The City
uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not
available for future spending.

CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
Management's Discussion and Analysis
June 30, 2004
An additional portion of the City's net assets ($11,584,984 or 10 percent) represents resources
that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of
unrestricted net assets ($14,271,456 or 12 percent) may be used to meet the government's
ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
Governmental activities. Governmental activities increased the City's net assets by
$2,907,037, thereby accounting for 100 percent of the total growth in the net assets of the City.

Key elements of this increase are as follows:
General fund revenues exceed General fund expenses and net transfers by$4.2 million.
The difference in the method of accounting for capital assets in the governmental funds
versus the statement of activities accounts for a decrease in excess of$2.4 million in net
assets. Governmental funds do not depreciate infrastructure assets. However, in the
statement of activities, the cost of infrastructure assets is allocated over their estimated
useful lives.

CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
Management's Discussion and Analysis
June 30, 2004
➢ The difference in the method of accounting for interest income in the governmental funds
versus the Statement of Activities accounts for an increase in excess of approximately
$532,000 in net assets. Unpaid accrued interest income is deferred in the governmental
funds since it is not available.
➢ The Proposition C fund did not fund any major construction projects during FY03-04. The
fund balance increased by$404,000 as it continued to accumulate transportation sales
tax.
➢ The excess of Internal Service fund revenues over expenses of approximately$268,000.
The net revenues and expenses of Internal Service funds are reported with governmental
activities in the Statement of Activities.

As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending
fund balances of$23,752,320, an increase of$4,616,433 in comparison with the prior year.
Approximately 42 percent of the combined ending fund balances ($9,884,560)constitutes
unreserved fund balance, which is available for spending at the City's discretion. The combined
unreserved fund balance includes the RDA Debt Service negative fund balance of$12,070,150.
The remainder of the combined ending fund balances is reserved to indicate that it is not
available for new spending because it has already been committed 1)to liquidate contracts and
purchase orders of the prior period ($4,262,400), 2)to reserve the principal balance of loans
made to the City's Redevelopment Agency ($5,917,907), and 3)for a variety of other restricted
purposes ($3,687,453).
The General fund is the chief operating fund of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. At the end of
the current fiscal year, unreserved fund balance of the General fund was $14,066,002, while total
fund balance reached $20,704,911. As a measure of the General fund's liquidity, it may be useful
to compare both unreserved fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures and
transfers out. Unreserved fund balance represents 117 percent of total General fund
expenditures, while total fund balance represents 172 percent of that same amount.
7
CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
Management's Discussion and Analysis
June 30, 2004
During the current fiscal year, the fund balance of the City's General fund increased by
$4,244,062. The key factor in this growth follows:
Revenues exceeded expenditures by approximately$4.6 million; however, almost
$370,000 was transferred to other funds primarily for capital projects.
The debt service fund has a negative fund balance of$11,305,005. The Redevelopment
Agency's debt to the City is recorded in the debt service fund; however, because there are
currently no assets to extinguish that debt, the fund carries a negative fund balance. The net
decrease in the debt service fund balance during the current year was $389,913, which
represents accumulated interest on the advance from the City to the Redevelopment Agency.
Proprietary funds. The City's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the
government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. Unrestricted net assets of the Internal
Service funds at the end of the year amounted to $4,175,990. The total growth in net assets was
$268,015.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The difference between the original budget and the final amended budget for expenditures was
an increase of$958,474; and can be briefly summarized as follows:
A decrease of$685,600 was attributable to appropriations continued to FY04-05.
➢ An increase of approximately $839,680 was attributable to appropriations continued from
FY02-03.
Additional funds of$344,007 for legal fees were required to support the Indian Ridge
Crest Gardens lawsuit, proposed cable franchise modifications, and additional litigation
services.
➢ Additional funds of$77,222 were approved for construction of the elevator at City Hall.
➢ Additional funds of$69,000 were required to purchase ortho-photographic maps.
➢ Additional funds of$64,000 were approved for a temporary full-time engineering position.
Additional funds of$61,500 were required to support the CORE deputy program.
➢ Additional funds of$57,719 were required to support consulting services for the Building
& Safety program.
➢ Other immaterial increases totaled approximately$130,946.
Capital Asset and Debt Administration

30, 2004, amounts to $92,499,373 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital
assets includes land, buildings, park improvements, roadways, sewer, storm drains, vehicles,
computer equipment, furniture, other equipment, and construction in progress. During the current
fiscal year, the City's investment in capital assets decreased by 2.5 percent.

accumulation of additional employee compensated absences.
State statutes limit the amount of general obligation debt a governmental entity may issue to 15
percent of its total assessed valuation. The current debt limitation for the City of Rancho Palos
Verdes is $962,539,428. Additional information on the City's long-term debt can be found in note

CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
Management's Discussion and Analysis
June 30, 2004
Economic Factors and Next Year's Budgets and Rates
➢ Local property values remain strong; therefore, property tax revenue (approximately 28
percent of City-wide revenues) remains unaffected by the downturn in the economy.
➢ State shared revenues (i.e. Motor Vehicle In Lieu Tax) have substantially remained intact
for FY03-04.
These factors were considered in preparing the City's budget for FY04-05. Due to the continued
uncertainty of the state budget, the FY04-05 city budget was conservatively prepared assuming
that only one-third of the Motor Vehicle In Lieu Tax would be received.

RECONCILIATION OF THE BALANCE SHEET OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDIE
TO THE STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
JUNE 30, 2004
Fund Balances of Governmental Funds $ 23,752,320
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net assets are
different because:
Capital assets of governmental activities are not financial resources and, therefore,
are not reported in the governmental funds. 92,115,525
Interest accrued on the advance receivable in the General Fund is not paid by the
owing funds and, therefore, is recorded as deferred revenue and added to the
balance of the advance. The statement of net assets reports on the full accrual
basis and does not defer currently unavailable revenues. 6,106,215
Interest expenditures are recognized when due, and therefore, interest payable
is not recorded in the governmental funds. (22,729)
Long-term notes receivable are not current available resources and, therefore,
are not reported in the governmental funds. 604,982
Long-term liabilities are not due and payable in the current period and, therefore,
are not reported in the governmental funds. (8,760,338)
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain
activities, including equipment and building replacement and employee benefits,
to individual funds. The assets and liabilities of the internal service funds
are included in the statement of net assets. 4,559,838

CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDIC
TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2004
Net Change in Fund Balances-Total Governmental Funds $4,616,433
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities differs
from the amounts reported in the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes
in Fund Balances because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement
of activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives
as depreciation expense, or are allocated to the appropriate functional expense when
the cost is below the capitalization threshold. Gains and losses on asset disposals
are also not recgonized in the governmental funds. This activity is reconciled as follows:
Cost of assets capitalized 379,087
Depreciation expense (2,813,101)
Loss on asset disposals (22,558)
Unpaid accrued interest income is deferred in the governmental funds since it is
not available. This income is accrued in the Statement of Activities. 532,285
Increases in long-term notes receivable use current financial resources and are
included in the expenditures, of governmental funds. Repayments of long-term notes
receivable provide current financial resources and are included in the revenues of
governmental funds. These changes in notes receivable are not reflected in the
revenues or expenses of the Statement of Activities. This amount represents
the net change in the long-term notes receivable. (50,004)
Compensated absences expenses reported in the statement of activities do not
require the use of current financial resources and therefore are not reported as
expenditures in governmental funds. (3,120)
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain
activities, including equipment and building replacement and employee benefits, to
individual funds. The net revenues/(expenses)of the internal service funds (excluding
transfers and interest income)are reported with governmental activities. 268,015

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2004
NOTE#1— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes conform to accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America as applicable to governments. The Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for governmental accounting and
financial reporting principles. The following is a summary of the significant policies.
A. Reporting Entity:
The reporting entity "City of Rancho Palos Verdes" includes the accounts of the City, the Rancho
Palos Verdes Redevelopment Agency (the RDA) and the Joint Powers Improvement Authority (the
Authority).
The City was incorporated on September 7, 1973 as a general law city and operates under a
Council/Manager form of government.
The RDA was formed in 1984 pursuant to the State of California Health and Safety Code, Section
33000 entitled "Community Redevelopment Law". Its purpose is to finance long-term capital
improvements designed to eliminate physical and economic blight in a project area through
stabilization of hazardous landslides.
The Authority was formed on September 4, 1990 in accordance with the provisions of the
Reimbursement and Settlement Agreement, dated October 27, 1987, entered into by the City, the
RDA and the County of Los Angeles (the County) in connection with the Horan lawsuit. The
Agreement requires funds to be set aside and expended by the Authority to maintain landslide
abatement improvements installed and constructed by the RDA.
The criteria used in determining the scope of the reporting entity are based on the provisions of
GASB Statement 14. The City of Rancho Palos Verdes is the primary government unit. Component
units are those entities which are financially accountable to the primary government, either because
the City appoints a voting majority of the component unit's Board, or because the component unit will
provide a financial benefit or impose a financial burden on the City. The City has accounted for both
the RDA and the Authority as "blended" component units. Despite being legally separate, the RDA
and the Authority are so intertwined with the City, it is in substance, part of the City's operations.
Accordingly, the balances and transactions of the RDA are reported as separate funds in the Special
Revenue, Debt Service, and Capital Projects Funds. The balances and transactions of the Authority
are reported as separate funds in a Permanent Fund and a Special Revenue Fund. The following
specific criteria were used in determining that the RDA and the Authority are "blended" component
units:
1) The members of the City Council also act as the governing body of both the RDA and the
Authority.
2) The City, the RDA and the Authority are financially interdependent. The City makes loans to the
RDA for use on redevelopment projects. Available property tax revenues of the RDA will be used
to repay the loans from the City. It is not anticipated that tax increment revenues will be available
to repay the loans any time in the immediate future.
3) Employees of the City manage both the RDA and the Authority.
24
CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2004
NOTE#1— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
The financial statements for both the RDA and the Authority may be obtained at the City's
administrative offices.
Participation In Public Entity Joint Powers Authority:
The City is a member of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Transit Joint Powers Authority. The Transit
Authority is comprised of four member cities and is organized under a Joint Powers Agreement
pursuant to the California Government Code. The purpose of the Authority is to study, implement,
and provide a public transit system within and around the Palos Verdes Peninsula. These transit
services include Palos Verdes Transit, Dial-A-Ride, and a fixed route shuttle service. Periodic
deposits are paid by member cities and are adjusted retrospectively to cover costs. Costs are
prorated among all participating cities based on population.
The City does not have an equity interest in the Transit Authority; therefore, no amount has been
reported in the Statement of Net Assets. However, the City does have an ongoing financial interest
because the City is able to influence the operations of the Authority so that the Authority uses its
resources on behalf of the City. Also, an ongoing financial responsibility exists because the Authority
is dependent on continued funding from the City. The condensed financial information of the
Authority has not been reproduced in this report, but is available from the Authority.
B. Accounting and Reporting Policies:
The City has conformed to the pronouncements of the GASB, which are the primary authoritative
statements of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to
state and local governments. In accordance with GASB Statement No. 20, the City applies all
applicable Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements, as well as those of its
predecessors, issued on or before November 30, 1989, unless any such pronouncements contradict
GASB pronouncements. The City also applies all FASB Statements and Interpretations issued after
November 30, 1989, except those that conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements.
C. Description of Funds:
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate
accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing
accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures. The following
are types of funds used:
Governmental Fund Types:
• General Fund— Used to account for all financial resources except those that are required to be
accounted for in another fund.
• Special Revenue Funds— Used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are
restricted by law or administrative action for specified purposes.
• Debt Service Fund — The debt service fund of the RDA is used to account for property tax
increment revenue and related interest income. Disbursements from this fund consist mainly of
principal and interest on RDA indebtedness.
25
CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2004
NOTE#1— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
• Capital Projects Funds — Used to account for financial resources used for the construction of
specific capital projects.
• Permanent Fund — Used to account for resources legally restricted to the extent that only
earnings, and not principal, may be used for purposes that support the reporting government's
programs.
Proprietary Fund Type:
• Internal Service Funds— Used to account for the financing of goods or services provided by one
department of the City to other departments on a cost-reimbursement basis.
D. Basis of Accounting/Measurement Focus
Government—Wide Financial Statements
The City's Government-Wide Financial Statements include a Statement of Net Assets and a
Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets. These statements present summaries of
Governmental Activities for the City.
These statements are presented on an "economic resources" measurement focus and the accrual
basis of accounting. Accordingly, all of the City's assets and liabilities, including capital assets and
infrastructure as well as long-term debt, are included in the accompanying Statement of Net Assets.
The Statement of Activities presents changes in net assets. Under the accrual basis of accounting,
revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the
period in which the liability is incurred. The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which
the direct expenses of a given function are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those
that are clearly identifiable with a specific function. The types of transactions reported as program
revenues for the City are reported in three categories: 1) charges for services, 2) operating grants
and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions. Charges for services include revenues
from customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or
privileges provided by a given function. Operating grants and contributions include revenues
restricted to meeting the requirements of a particular operating function and may include state shared
revenues and grants. Capital grants and contributions include revenues restricted to meeting the
requirements of a particular capital function and may include grants and developer fees. Taxes and
other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general
revenues.
Internal balances in the Governmental-wide statements have been eliminated as prescribed by GASB
Statement No. 34.
Governmental Fund Financial Statements
Governmental fund financial statements include a Balance Sheet and Statement of Revenue,
Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances for all major governmental funds and aggregated non-
major funds. An accompanying schedule is presented to reconcile and explain the differences in fund
balances as presented in these statements to the net assets presented in the Government-Wide
Financial Statements. The City has presented all major funds that met qualifications of GASB
Statement No. 34. In addition, the City has presented the Street Maintenance Special Revenue Fund
and the Capital Improvements Capital Projects Fund, as major funds because the City believes the
financial position and activities of these funds are significant to the City as a whole.
26
CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2004
NOTE#1— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
All governmental funds are accounted for on a spending or "current financial resources"
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, only current assets
and current liabilities are included on the Balance Sheets. The Statement of Revenues, Expenditures
and Changes in Fund Balances present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and
decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in fund balances. Revenues are recognized in the
accounting period in which they become susceptible to accrual, that is, when they become both
measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period. "Measurable" means that the
amount of the transaction can be determined, and "available" means collectible within the current
period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. Accrued revenues
include property taxes received within 60 days after year-end (see Note #11), taxpayer-assessed
taxes such as sales taxes, and earnings on investments. Grant funds earned but not received are
recorded as a receivable, and grant funds received before the revenue recognition criteria have been
met are reported as deferred revenues. Expenditures are recorded when the fund liability is incurred,
if measurable, except for immature interest on general long-term debt, which is recognized when due.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the government's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources
of the City, except those that are required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Street Maintenance Special Revenue Fund is used to account for State highway users tax used
for street maintenance, right-of-way acquisition and street construction.
The Capital Improvement Capital Projects Fund is used to account for the funds used for the City's
capital improvement projects.
The RDA Debt Service Fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the
payment of principal and interest on the RDA's debt and other long-term obligations.
Proprietary Fund Financial Statements
Proprietary fund types are accounted for using the "economic resources" measurement focus and
accrual basis of accounting. This means that all assets and liabilities (whether current or non-current)
associated with the activity are included on the balance sheet. Their reported fund equity presents
total net assets. The operating statement of the proprietary funds present increases (revenues) and
decreases (expenses) in total net assets. Revenues are recognized when they are earned and
expenses are recognized when the liability is incurred.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods
in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues
of the City's internal service funds are charges to other funds for services. Operating expenses for
the internal service funds include the costs of employee benefits, maintenance of capital assets, and
depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as
non-operating revenues and expenses.
The City's internal service funds are presented in the proprietary funds financial statements. Because
the principal users of the internal services are the City's governmental activities, the financial
statements of the internal service funds are consolidated into the governmental column when
presented in the government-wide financial statements. To the extent possible, the cost of these
services is reported in the appropriate functional activity (administration, public safety, public works,
etc.).
27
CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2004
NOTE#1— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
The City uses the internal service funds to finance and account for goods and services provided by
one City department to other City department including the purchase and maintenance of equipment,
replacement of buildings and employee benefits.
E. Budgetary Accounting:
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with GAAP for all governmental funds. All annual
appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end. Throughout the year, the City Council made several
supplementing budgetary adjustments to the General fund, Special Revenue funds, Capital Projects
funds, Proprietary funds and the Permanent fund. These adjustments resulted in a net appropriation
increase in the amount of $4,161,937. This increase resulted primarily from amounts carried over
from FY02-03 as continuing appropriations.
Under Article XIIIB of the California Constitution (the Gann Spending Limitation Initiative), the City is
restricted as to the amount of annual appropriations from the proceeds of taxes, and if proceeds of
taxes exceed allowed appropriations, the excess must either be refunded to the State Controller,
returned to the taxpayers through revised tax rates or revised fee schedules, or an excess in one year
may be offset against a deficit in the following year. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, based
on calculations by City Management, proceeds of taxes did not exceed related appropriations.
F. Advances to Other Funds
Long-term inter-fund advances are recorded as a receivable in the advancing governmental fund and
as a liability in the fund receiving the advance. Accrued unpaid interest is deferred in the advancing
governmental fund and the principal portion of the advance is reported as a reservation of fund
balance.
G. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include land, machinery and equipment (vehicles, computers, etc.), buildings
and improvements, and infrastructure assets (street systems, storm drains, sewer systems, etc.), are
reported in Governmental Activities column of the Government-Wide Financial Statements. Capital
assets are defined by the City as all land and buildings, vehicles, computers and equipment with an
initial individual cost of more than $5,000; and improvements and infrastructure assets with costs of
more than $100,000. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if
purchased or constructed. Donated or annexed capital assets are recorded at estimated market
value at the date of donation or annexation.
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. Depreciation is recorded in the Government-Wide Financial
Statements on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the assets as follows:
Buildings and improvements 25 to 50 years
Vehicles, computers, and equipment 3 to 10 years
Infrastructure Assets
Roadway Network 10 to 100 years
Sewer Network 25 to 50 years
Storm Drain Network 30 to 100 years
Parks and Recreation Network 25 years

H. Employee Compensated Absences:
City employees may receive from 10 to 20 days vacation time each year, depending upon length of
service. An employee may accumulate earned vacation time up to a maximum of two years' worth of
accrued vacation leave. Upon termination, employees are paid the full value of their unused vacation
time at their existing salary. There is no fixed payment schedule for employee compensated
absences.
At June 30, 2004, vested accrued vacation and compensatory time amounted to $193,938.
I. Investments:
The City has adopted the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
Statement No 31, "Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and External Pools",
which require governmental entities to report certain investments at fair value in the balance sheet
and recognize the corresponding change in the fair value of investments in the year in which the
change occurred. In accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, the City has adjusted certain
investments to fair value (when material).
Investments are included within the Financial Statement classifications of "Cash and Cash
Equivalents" and are stated at fair value, (see Note#2).
J. Cash and Cash Equivalents:
For purposes of the statement of cash flows of the proprietary funds, all cash and investments with an
original maturity of 90 days or less are considered to be cash and cash equivalents. As explained in
Note #2, the City pools investment funds for maximum return. A substantial portion of these
investments is held in the State Treasurer's Local Agency Investment Pool, which is highly liquid.
The City has no non-cash investing, capital, or financing activities to be reported on the statement of
cash flows.
K. Claims and Judaments:
When it is probable that a claim liability has been incurred, and the amount of the loss can be
reasonably estimated, the City records the estimated loss, net of any insurance coverage under its
self-insurance program. At June 30, 2004, in the opinion of the City Attorney, the City had no
material claims, which require loss provisions in the financial statements. Small claims and
judgments are recorded as expenditures when paid.
The City's self-insurance program is administered through the California Joint Powers Authority (the
CJPIA), which is described at Note#8. The CJPIA is a public entity risk pool, which is accounted for
under the provisions of GASB Statement 10. Claim losses recorded in the CJPIA include both
current claims and Incurred But Not Reported claims (IBNR). The City records amounts deposited
with CJPIA as insurance expenditures in the General Fund when paid. These deposits are subject to
retrospective adjustment. Favorable claims experience result in a refund of deposits from the CJPIA
and such refunds, if any, are recorded as a reduction of insurance expenditures in the year received.
Adverse claims experience result in the payment of additional deposits and such deposits, if any, are
recorded as insurance expenditures when paid.

When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to use
restricted resources first, and then unrestricted resources as they are needed.

Fair Value of Investments
GASB Statement No. 31 generally applies to investments in external investment pools (State of California
LAIF), investments purchased with maturities greater than one year, mutual funds, and certain investment
pools agreements. Generally, governmental entities need to report the "fair value" changes for these
investments at year-end and record these gains or losses on their income statement.
The City holds an investment in LAIF that is subject to being adjusted to "fair value". The City is required
to disclose its methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of its holdings in LAIF. The City
relied upon information provided by the State Treasurer when estimating the City's fair value position of
investments held in LAIF. The City had a contractual withdrawal value of $33,314,937 whose pro-rata
share of fair value was estimated by the state Treasurer to be $33,261,106. The fair value change in this
investment for the year came to an amount that was not material for presentation in the financial
statements.
LAIF is a governmental investment pool managed and directed by the California State Treasurer and is
not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. An oversight committee, comprised of
California State officials and various participants, provide the management of the fund. The daily
operations and responsibilities of LAIF fall under the auspices of the State Treasurer's office. The City is
a voluntary participant in the investment pool.

NOTE#3—INTERFUND TRANSACTIONS, Continued
The City has entered into an agreement to provide the RDA operating funds and staff assistance,
supplies, technical and other services and facilities of the City as the RDA requires in carrying out its
function under the community redevelopment law. The RDA will repay the resulting indebtedness, plus
interest, from incremental property tax revenues arising from the project area, as such revenue becomes
available. As of June 30, 2004, no revenue was available to the RDA to repay the advances due to the
City, nor are sufficient revenues expected to be available to repay advances in the immediate future.
Variable interest was accrued at a rate of 5.18 percent and 4.54 percent respectively during the fiscal
years ended June 30, 2003 and 2004. Of the $12,024,123 remaining indebtedness, $9,527,888 relates
to the Portuguese Bend portion of the RDA, while $2,496,235 relates to the Abalone Cove portion.
During the year ended June 30, 2004, accrued interest of $422,393 was added to the balance of the
advance to the Portuguese Bend Fund, while principal of$40,355 and accrued interest of$109,893 was

A. RDA Tax Increment Bond and Deferred interest Payable
In July 1991, the RDA received $10,000,000 in loan proceeds (the Loan) from the County of Los
Angeles (the County) upon the County's issue of Abalone Cove Improvement Bonds 2651-M
pursuant to a Reimbursement and Settlement Agreement (the Agreement), dated October 27, 1987 in
connection with the Horan Lawsuit. The Loan was made for the purpose of abating the Abalone
Cove landslide. The settlement Loan was secured by property assessment liens in the Abalone Cove
project area.
As stipulated by the parties to the Agreement, a portion of the Loan proceeds was used to repay a tax
allocation and revenue anticipation promissory note issued to the County in the principal amount of
$1,450,000, plus accrued interest equal to $179,244. A second portion of the proceeds was used to
repay expenses advanced by the County in the amount of $135,614. A third portion was used to
repay certain loans from the City to the RDA in the amount of$787,340.
Per the terms of the Agreement, $1,000,000 of the proceeds was deposited in the Abalone Cove
Maintenance Nonexpendable Trust Fund of the Joint Powers Improvement Authority. The remainder
of the proceeds was accounted for in the RDA's Abalone Cove Fund. Concurrent with the execution
of the Agreement, the County deeded its title in the Abalone Cove Beach Park to the RDA.
As part of the Agreement, the RDA is required to transfer 17 percent of tax increment revenue to the
Consolidated Fire Protection District of the County and 50.9 percent of tax increment revenue for debt
repayment to the County. In accordance with the Agreement, the RDA was to pay the Loan principal
plus interest at 7.7654 percent over a 30-year period that began in 1992. However, these debt
payments were to be deferred 10 years until the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002.
As part of the deferral arrangement, the accrued interest from the inception of the Loan through
June 30, 2002, in the amount of $7,314,944, was scheduled for payment over a 20-year period
beginning in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2002, with no additional interest. The remaining balance
of $10,274,119 was scheduled for payment to the County over a 20-year period beginning in the
fiscal year ending June 30, 2002, with interest at 7.7654 percent.
On November 1, 1997, the City, RDA and County of Los Angeles entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) agreeing to restructure the repayment schedule of the debt owed the County
by the RDA. In accordance with the terms of the MOU, the $10,000,000 loan principal owed the
County was cancelled. As consideration for the loan cancellation, the RDA made a lump sum
payment to the County in the amount of $4,545,000 and issued a $5,455,000 tax increment bond to
the County (the RDA bond). Of the $4,545,000 lump sum payment, $2,000,000 was paid from tax
increment revenue and interest earnings accumulated in the Debt Service Fund. The remaining
$2,545,000 was funded by a combination of a loan from the General Fund of the City to the Agency
for$1,545,000 and a net operating transfer from the Agency's Abalone Cove Capital Projects Fund to
the Debt Service Fund of $1,000,000. The private property liens resulting from the formation of the
bond assessment district in connection with the Reimbursement and Settlement Agreement in 1987
were discharged in accordance with the terms of the MOU.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2004
NOTE#5—LONG-TERM DEBT, Continued
The RDA bond was issued as a conduit through the Improvement Authority to the County. No
issuance costs were incurred. One hundred percent of net future tax increment revenue will fund the
payment of the RDA bond debt and the deferred interest from the original Loan until paid in full. In
December 1997, the County began withholding payment of the Agency's net tax increment revenue
(net of the 17 percent payment to the County Fire Protection District and the 20 percent housing set-
aside amount) to offset the annual principal and interest charges. The principal of the RDA bond will
mature in installments each December 2nd, commencing December 2, 2004. Interest accrues at a
rate of 5 percent per annum and is payable in arrears each June 2nd and December 2nd. Additionally,
both the accrued interest and deferred interest on the $10,000,000 Loan previously owed the County
was retroactively recalculated from the Loan origination date at a rate of approximately 5 percent
compared to 7.7654 percent per the original Agreement. The recalculated deferred interest is
$3,111,400. In accordance with the MOU, the recalculated deferred interest does not accrue
additional interest. The accumulated amount of tax increment withheld over the scheduled principal
and interest payment made during the life of the RDA bond is recorded in the Debt Service Fund as a
prepaid item at June 30, 2004.
After payment of the deferred interest, the RDA may elect to further defer payment to the County of
the 50.9 percent of tax increment revenue in order to extinguish any other indebtedness of the RDA.
This deferral would allow the tax increment to be available for the repayment of loans made to the
RDA by the City (Note#3). In the event the deferral is elected, the debt owed the City is fully
extinguished and no other RDA indebtedness exists, the RDA will transfer all subsequent tax
increment revenue to the County to fund prior deferrals of, and current payments of, the 50.9 percent
of tax increment revenue required to be paid per the Settlement Agreement.
The debt service schedule below summarizes all fixed principal and interest payments for the term of
the RDA bond. Because the payback period for the deferred interest amount will fluctuate depending
on the availability of excess tax increment revenues, no amounts have been included in the following
schedule for repayment of the deferred interest.

Invested in Capital Assets
This category groups all capital assets, including infrastructure, into one component of net assets.
Accumulated depreciation on these assets reduces this category.
Restricted Net Assets
This category presents external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributions or laws or
regulations of other governments and restrictions imposed by law through constitutional provisions or
enabling legislation.
Unrestricted Net Assets
This category represents the net assets of the City that are not externally restricted for any project or
other purpose.
In the Fund Financial Statements the City has established "reserves" to segregate portions of fund
balance which are not appropriable for expenditure in future periods, or which are legally set aside for a
specific future use. In addition, fund balance may be designated to indicate tentative plans for financial
resource utilization of unreserved fund balance in a future period.

NOTE#7—PENSION PLAN
Plan Description
The City's defined benefit pension plan provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living
adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. The Plan is part of the Public
Agency portion of the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS), an agent multiple-
employer plan administrated by CalPERS, which acts as a common investment and administrative agent
for participating public employers within the State of California. State statutes, within the Public
Employees' Retirement Law, establish benefit provisions and other requirements. The City selects
optional benefit provisions from the benefit menu by contract with CalPERS and adopts those benefits
through local ordinance. The CalPERS issues a separate comprehensive annual financial report. Copies
of the CalPERS annual financial report may be obtained from the CalPERS Executive Office — 400 P
Street, Sacramento, California, 95814.
Funding Policy
A contribution of 7 percent of annual covered salary is required for each active plan member. For local
miscellaneous members, the City pays the full 7 percent contribution for all the full-time positions, while
part-time employees must contribute the 7 percent from earnings. Additionally, the City is required to
contribute the actuarially determined remaining amounts necessary to fund the benefits for its members.
The actuarial methods and assumptions used are those adopted by the CalPERS Board of
Administration. The required employer contribution rate for FY03-04 was 2.455 percent for local
miscellaneous members. The contribution requirements of the plan members are established by State
statute and the employer contribution rate is established and may be amended by CalPERS.

NOTE#7—PENSION PLAN, Continued
Annual Pension Cost
For FY03-04, the City's actual and contributed pension cost was $267,684. The required contribution for
FY03-04 was determined as part of the June 30, 2001 actuarial valuation using the entry age normal
actuarial cost method with the contributions determined as a percent of pay. The actuarial assumptions
included (a) 8.25 percent investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses); (b) projected salary
increases that vary by duration of service ranging from 3.75 percent to 14.20 percent; and (c) payroll
growth of 3.75 percent. Both (a) and (b) include an inflation component of 3.5 percent. The actuarial
value of the Plan's assets was determined using a technique that smoothes the effect of short-term
volatility in the market value of investments over a two to five year period depending on the size of

NOTE#8—INSURANCE
Description of Self-Insurance Pool Pursuant to Joint Powers Agreement
The City is a member of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA). The CJPIA is
comprised of 106 California public entities and is organized under a joint powers agreement pursuant to
California Government Code section 6500 et seq. The purpose of the CJPIA is to arrange and administer
programs for the pooling of self-insured losses and to purchase excess insurance or reinsurance, and to
arrange for group-purchased insurance for property and other coverage. The CJPIA pool began covering
claims of its members in 1978. Each member government has an elected official as its representative on
the Board of Directors. The Board operates through a 9-member Executive Committee. The accounting
methods used by the CJPIA are more fully described at Note#1-K.

NOTE#8—INSURANCE, Continued
Self-Insurance Programs of the CJPIA
• General Liability
Each member government pays a primary deposit to cover estimated losses for a fiscal year
(claims year). Six months after the close of a fiscal year, outstanding claims are valued. A
retrospective deposit computation is then made for each open claims year. Costs are spread to
members as follows: the first $30,000 of each occurrence is charged directly to the member;
costs from $30,001 to $750,000 are pooled based on a member's share of costs under $30,000;
costs from $750,001 to $15,000,000 are pooled based on payroll. Costs of covered claims above
$15,000,000 are currently paid by reinsurance. The protection for each member is $50,000,000
per occurrence and $50,000,000 annual aggregate.
• Workers' Compensation
The City also participates in the workers compensation pool administered by the Authority. Pool
deposits an retrospective adjustments are valued in a manner similar to the General Liability pool.
The City is charged for the first $25,000 of each claim. Costs are pooled above that level to
$50,000. Costs from $50,001 to $100,000 per claim are pooled based on the member's losses
under its retention level. Costs between $100,001 and $2,000,000 per claim are pooled based on
payroll. Costs between $2,000,000 and $50,000,000 are paid by excess insurance purchased by
CJPIA. Costs in excess of$50,000,000 are pooled based on payroll.
Purchased Insurance
• Environmental Insurance
The City participates in the pollution legal liability and remediation legal liability insurance, which
is available through the CJPIA. The policy covers sudden and gradual pollution of scheduled
property, streets, and storm drains owned by the City. Coverage is on a claims-made basis.
There is a $50,000 deductible. The CJPIA has a limit of$120,000,000 for the 3-year period from
July 1, 2002 through June 30, 2005. Each member of the CJPIA has a $10,000,000 limit during
the 3-year term of the policy.
• Property Insurance
The City participates in the all-risk property protection program of the CJPIA. Several insurance
companies underwrite this insurance protection. The City's property is currently insured
according to a schedule of covered property submitted by the City to the CJPIA. Total all-risk
property insurance coverage is $9,408,365. There is a $5,000 per loss deductible. Premiums for
the coverage are paid annually and are not subject to retroactive adjustments.
• Earthquake and Flood Insurance
The City purchases earthquake and flood insurance on a portion of its property. The earthquake
insurance is part of the property protection insurance program of the CJPIA. The City's property
currently has earthquake protection in the amount of$8,763,365. There is a deductible of 5% of
value with a minimum deductible of$100,000. Premiums for the coverage are paid annually and
are not subject to retroactive adjustments.

CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2004
NOTE#8—INSURANCE, Continued
Adequacy of Protection
During the past three fiscal (claims) years none of the above programs of protection have had
settlements or judgments that exceeded pooled or insured coverage. There have been no significant
reductions in pooled or insured liability coverage in the year ended June 30, 2004. As previously
described in Note #1-K, the City has no material claims, which would require loss provisions in the
financial statements.
NOTE#9—ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS BOND ISSUES
Assessment District No. 9 issued special assessment bonds for the purpose of public improvements
under the Municipal Improvement acts of 1911 and 1913. Neither the faith, credit, not taxing power of the
City is pledged to the repayment of the bonds. The City is only acting as an agent for the property
owners and bondholders in collecting and forwarding the special assessment. Accordingly, the un-retired
principal at June 30, 2004 of$1,247 has not been recorded as a long-term liability in the Statement of Net
Assets.
NOTE#10— CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
In the normal course of operations, the City has been named as a defendant in various claims and legal
actions. In the opinion of management and legal counsel, the ultimate liability for these legal actions and
claims will not have a material adverse effect on the City's general-purpose financial statements.
NOTE#11—PROPERTY TAXES
Under California law, property taxes are assessed and collected by the counties up to 1 percent of
assessed value, plus other increases approved by the voters. The property taxes go into a pool, and are
then allocated to the cities based on complex formulas. Accordingly, the City accrues only those taxes,
which are received from the county within sixty days after year-end.
Lien date March 1
Levy date June 30
Due date November 1 and February 1
Collection dates December 10 and April 10
NOTE#12—DEFERRED REVENUES
The deferred revenues in the fund financial statements of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes as of June 30,
2003 consisted of the following:
Source General Fund
Accrued Interest from Long-Term Advances
to the Redevelopment Agency $ 6,106,215
Advance on Federal Grant 36,011
Total Deferred Revenues $ 6,142,226

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2004
NOTE#13—LAND HELD FOR DEVELOPMENT
On March 21, 2000, the City purchased approximately 20 acres of land to be used for an affordable
housing project. The total cost of the land was $702,392. The City has recorded the cost of the land as
an asset in the special revenue fund that purchased the property(Housing Set-Aside fund).
The City expects one or more developers to file an application for a multiple unit housing project, with an
affordable housing element, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005. If approved, the City anticipates
transferring the land to a developer for construction of the housing project. The City will recognize a gain
or loss on the disposal of the land at the time a disposition and development agreement is finalized. The
fund balance in the Housing Set-Aside fund has been reserved for an amount equal to the purchase price
of the land.
In the event the Crestridge property is not used for low or moderate income housing, or in the event the
property is used for a purpose that may not be charged against the Housing Set-Aside fund in the full
amount of $702,392, then all, or a portion of the $702,392 purchase price must be reimbursed to the
Housing Set-Aside fund. Following such reimbursement, the fund balance will likely exceed $1 million.
The amount exceeding $1 million is defined as "excess surplus." In the event of the occurrence of excess
surplus, the RDA may be required to either transfer the excess surplus to the County Housing Authority
within one year, or spend such excess within an additional two years after such occurrence. The
Community Redevelopment Law sets forth substantial penalties if the RDA fails to properly dispose of
excess surplus funds.
NOTE#14— OTHER REQUIRED FUND DISCLOSURES
The following fund had a deficit fund balance as of June 30, 2004:
RDA Debt Service Fund $ 11,305,005
The City plans to finance this deficit through future revenues to the fund.
The expenditures of the Capital Improvements Capital Projects Fund exceeded the budget by$28,652.
NOTE#15—RESTATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
During the 2003-04 fiscal year the City reevaluated the accounting treatment of the deferred interest
payable in connection with the City's Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the County of Los
Angeles (see Note 5A). As a result, the City restated beginning net assets to recognize the deferred
interest as a long-term liability.
The following is a summary of the effect of the restatement:
Net Assets at June 30, 2003, as previously reported $ 118,560,176
Recognition of deferred interest payable (3,111,400)
Net Assts at June 30, 2003, as restated $ 115,448,776
