RECOMMENDATION
Review the Draft FY11-12 Budget,and provide Staff with direction in anticipation of the
Public Hearing to adopt the FY11-12 Budget on June 21,2011.
DISCUSSION
Staff's Proposed FY11-12 Budget
The draft budget document includes Staff's proposed FY11-12 budget,which is balanced
with a $44,782 surplus,as follows.
Revenues 23,199,100
Transfers In 452,000

Although the City's expenditures per capita continues to be one of the lowest in the South
Bay and lower than the state average,Staff has attempted to control FY11-12 cost
estimates by looking towards innovative ideas such as virtualization of network servers and1-1

continuing to reduce the REACH recreation program subsidy.
The draft FY11-12 budget maintains core service levels and the City Council's reserve
policy thresholds,and includes the community grants approved by City Council on March
29th
•Staff has included the only anticipated impact as a result of ongoing state budget
problems,which is the potential loss of Citizens Options for Public Safety (COPS)revenue
of $100,000,addressed later in this report.The Governor's proposal to eliminate
redevelopment agencies has been included in his May revision of the draft state budget.
The California Legislative Counsel's office has issued an opinion that the Governor's
proposal for redevelopment agencies is illegal.Based upon language in the proposal,it
appears that the Redevelopment Agency's (RDA's)debt to the county would continue to be
paid from tax increment.Staff will continue to monitor the state's budget situation and
keep the City Council informed.
Los Angeles County CEO Fujioka has notified the California Contract Cities Association
that he will be recommending a one-year suspension of the contribution to the Sheriff's
Liability Trust Fund (4%of service costs)for FY11-12,resulting in a potential one-time
savings of about $158,000 for the City.The County Board of Supervisors has not yet
made a decision regarding the CEO's recommendation;however,Staff believes there is a
high probability that the contribution will be suspended and has included the savings in the
draft FY11-12 budget.
The May 9th version of the draft budget document delivered to City Council on April 25th
included certain assumptions regarding future employee compensation and benefits.
However,the Pension Subcommittee of the City Council isin the process of developing a
proposal that will be presented to the City Council after July 1st which is expected to
favorably impact the FY11-12 bUdget.Until the work of the Pension Subcommittee is
completed,the Subcommittee requested that Staff maintain the FY1 0-11 assumptions for
employee compensation in the draft FY11-12 budget.Therefore,the employee
compensation package for FY11-12 includes a 3%cost of living increase based on March
CPI (consistent with historical practice and FY1 0-11),a 1.6%merit increase (same as
FY1 0-11),no additions to staff,and a 3-to-1 Performance Incentive Pool (payment subject
to achievement of cost savings/new revenue goals).
A total of about $7 million of projects has been included in the draft Capital Improvement
Projects budget (including Water Quality &Flood Protection),funded with $1.8 million of
General Fund money and $5.2 million of restricted money.
In accordance with the City Council's reserve policy,the draft budget also includes a
transferfrom the General Fund to the CIP Reserve for future capital projects in an amount
equivalent to anticipated FY11-12 transient occupancy tax (TOT)revenue.The result is an
anticipated $7.9 million CIP Reserve at June 30,2012.The City Council's reserve policy
recommends a minimum reserve of $3 million.The $19.4 million San Ramon Canyon
Stabilization project remains on the unfunded list in the draft 2011 Capital Improvement
Plan.The City has applied for funding from both federal and state sources,and expects to
receive notification towards the end of 2011/beginning of 2012.

Notable General Fund Changes
Including the potential loss of COPS revenue noted above,Staff expects that total General
Fund revenue will increase by 2.0%.Although property assessments are expected to
increase 2.3%and TOT is expected to increase 7.8%,most other FY11-12 revenue is
expected to approximate FY10-11 bUdgeted amounts.The FY10-11 revenue budget
included an estimate of $140,000 for a one-time catch-up payment for additional FY09-1 0
property tax as a result of improvements at Terranea.Excluding this one-time revenue
would result in a net increase of 2.6%when comparing FY11-12 total General Fund
revenue to FY10-11.
The draft FY11-12 budget includes an overall 4.2%increase of General Fund expenditures
from FY10-11.However,the FY10-11 budget was adjusted to include savings of about
$302,000 for vacant employee positions.Excluding the impact of full staffing,additional
notable changes to programs are discussed below.
City Council-The draft FY11-12 budget includes health insurance coverage for all 5 City
Council Members,which increases program expenditures by about $30,000.Previously,
only 3 of the 5 City Council Members were participating in the City's health insurance
benefit.In addition,health insurance coverage is expected to increase by 15%in 2012.
The average cost of health insurance per Council Member is $13,425 for FY11-12.
City Manager -An allocation of $100,000 has been included for a Community Survey to
obtain resident input regarding the City's needs and priorities.The survey is expected to
be a valuable tool to help the City Council develop its policies over the coming years.In
addition,the City has received a FY11-12 general liability insurance credit of $120,000 for
retrospective claims calculations.
Comml,Jnity Outreach -For FY1 0-11,the City Council eliminated the appropriation for a
printed City newsletter.Staff was able to print two editions of the newsletter during FY10-
11 using other savings in the program.However,based on comments received from
residents and feedback from staff on attendance at City events normally featured in the
newsletter,Staff has included a $19,500 provision for the printing and mailing of a quarterly
City newsletter.
Emergency Preparedness -An allocation of $30,000 has been added to the draft FY11-12
budget for consulting services to manage Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA)claims and to assist with emergency planning.During FY1 0-11,these consulting
services were funded with an appropriation continued from FY09-10.
Storm Water Quality -The State Water Resources Control Board has required the City to
study the effects of its storm water runoff entering Lake Machado in Harbor City.The draft
FY11-12 budget includes an allocation of $25,000 for this purpose.
Parks,Trails &Open Space Maintenance -This program covers a wide variety of
expenditures,including park landscape maintenance,open space brush removal (fuel
modification),irrigation repairs,maintenance activities to accommodate special events at
1-3
DRAFT FY11-12 BUDGET
June 7,2011
Page 4 of 8
the City's park sites,portable toilets,and maintenance of playgrounds.Because the
program accounts for a number of expenditures that fluctuate unexpectedly with weather
conditions or other outside factors,the program has a history of being conservatively
budgeted.Annual favorable variances were $154,656 in FY08-09 and $286,337 in FY09-
10 for this program.Finance and Public Works Staff worked together to analyze the
reasons for the variances,trends,and other relevant information;and have developed a
proposed FY11-12 program budget that is expected to be a closer reflection of actual
expenditures,resulting in budgetary savings of about $186,000.
Geology -This program accounts for geo-technical consultant services to review and make
recommendations for privately initiated geo-technical reports.This program is completely
funded with associated fee revenue.Both the revenue and expenditure amounts have
been decreased to reflect the trend of actual activity in this program.
The City funds replacement of its equipment (computers,vehicles,copiers,etc.)through
equipment replacement charges to the General Fund,which are based on the estimated
equipment usage for each activity.The City Council's reserve policy recommends the
Equipment Replacement Fund maintain a balance equivalent to the estimated current
replacement cost of all capitalized equipment.Prior to FY07-08,the Equipment
Replacement Fund balance had grown through annual cost savings and interest earnings.
A plan was developed and implemented with the FY07 -08 budget to reduce the Equipment
Replacement Fund balance to the recommended level by reducing charges to the General
Fund.The goal for the Equipment Replacement Fund balance has been reached (reduced
from $3.0 million to $1.7 million),and the draft FY11-12 budget includes charges to the
General Fund that return to the normal level of funding prior to FY07-08.The FY06-07
Equipment Replacement charge to the General Fund was $435,513.The draft FY11-12
budget includes total charges of $480,000.
Menu (for City Council Deliberation)
Consistent with the 2010 budget process,Staff developed an aggregate list of 14
expenditures for the City Council's consideration of whether or not to include in the draft
FY11-12 budget (the "Menu",attachment A).The targeted projects and services are not
legally mandated,do not affect revenue streams,do not affect core service levels,and do
not have a direct impact on the health and safety of the City's residents.The Menu will be
the primary tool used to memorialize City Council decision making during the Budget
Workshop.
To prepare for the decision process,Staff has removed each Menu item from Staff's draft
FY11-12 budget to arrive at the "Baseline"budget for City Council to use as a starting point
in its decision-making process.The net activity of revenue,expenditures and transfers
(totaling $743,282)is the Baseline for City Council to use while building its draft FY11-12
budget.From the Baseline starting point,the City Council may consider adding Menu
items into the spending plan as it builds its draft FY11-12 Budget.As an alternative,the
City Council may direct Staff to include other projects or services in its draft FY11-12
Budget.

Generally,the Menu items are presented in the order of the Budget Document.Staff has
numbered the Menu items in this staff report and the Menu,and has provided draft two-
year budget document page references to improve the City Council's navigation.
Menu Items Included in Staff's Proposed FY11-12 Budget
1.Employee Performance Incentive Pool
Page 76 of draft budget document
$114,300
Similar to the FY1 0-11 program,Staff would be required to identify cost savings and/or
new revenue in order to receive this performance incentive pay.Staff is proposing a
program that requires a ratio of 3 to 1 savings to performance pay.If Staff were to only
achieve $30,000 savings,the payout would only be $10,000.The performance pool
would be set with a maximum payout amount of$114,300 (2%of salaries).The FY10-
11 program maximum was $131,100.
2.Employee Merit Increase $92,000
Consistent with FY10-11,the average merit increase to employee salaries would be
1.6%.The ten-year history of employee merit increases follows.
FY11-12 1.60%
FY10-11 1.60%
FY09-10 3.50%
FY08-09 3.22%
FY07-08 7.00%
FY06-07 7.00%
FY05-06 7.00%
FY04-05 3.90%
FY03-04 3.90%
FY02-03 5.10%
3.Aircraft Noise Consultant $15,000
Page 62 of draft budget document
An aviation consultant advises the City on aircraft noise issues,including the pending
proposed Class C airspace surrounding Long Beach Airport and the proposed South
Crenshaw helicopter route extension to the ocean.This service was added to
operations via a FY10-11 budget adjustment.
4.Federal Lobbyist
Page 62 of draft budget document
$48,000
The City retains the services of a lobbyist to secure federal funding for the San Ramon
Canyon stabilization project.An appropriation continued from FY09-10 provided the
funding for FY1 0-11 services.
1-5

June 7,2011

5.Community Outreach
Page 68 of draft budget document
$47,300
The Community Outreach program includes allocations for the Community Newsletter
($19,500),a single Community Leaders'Breakfast ($2,000),the annual Holiday
Reception ($4,000),Mayors Luncheons ($1,200),meals for City Council's working
meetings ($11,800),Chamber of Commerce and Coordinating Council memberships
($3,300),and City tiles/engraving/pins ($3,500).
6.Leadership Academy &Organizational Development
Page 73 of draft budget document
$20,000
This budget allocation has previously been funded with midyear budget adjustments,
and provides for programs such as the Community Leadership Academy and
organizational development.
7.Community Resource Grant Deputy Program
Page 85 of draft budget document
$187,000
The regional contract with the Sheriff includes 2 sworn deputies dedicated to
addressing juvenile crime prevention and a variety of quality of life issues in the
community.These deputies are charged at a discounted rate due to the grant funding
allocation by the cities towards this program.The City's estimated 60%share of these
2 deputies is $187,000 for FY11-12.To date,this program has been partially funded
with an annual allocation of $100,000 from the state through the Citizens Options for
Public Safety (COPS)program.Continued funding for this state-share revenue would
require a statewide ballot measure to continue the 0.15%vehicle license fee dedicated
for this purpose.Due to the unlikelihood of a successful ballot measure,the League of
California Cities has recommended that cities should not include COPS revenue in their
draft FY11-12 budgets.If the COPS funding is lost,the City would need to fund the
program entirely from the General fund and may not receive the Sheriff's discounted
rate for grant deputies.
8.Public Safety Targeted Enforcement &Outreach Programs
Page 87 of draft budget document
$15,000
Priorto FY11-12,special target enforcement and outreach programs recommended by
the Sheriff have been funded with prior year savings via a continued appropriation.
Programs change regularly and have included special traffic enforcement efforts,
business outreach on Western Avenue,and directed patrols in the Portuguese Bend
Nature Preserve.Staff has added an allocation to the draft FY11-12 budget to reflect
the historical service level.
9.City Hall Reception Area Staffing
Page 139 of draft budget document
$32,000
Part-time Recreation employees staff the reception area in the main City Hall building

and answer the main City Hall phone line.As an alternative,the public counters in
Community Development and Public Works would need to assume responsibility for all
City Hall visitors,including mail and deliveries.The City's phone system could be
configured to utilize an auto attendant.
10.Fourth of July Celebration
Page 145 of draft budget document
$25,800
This allocation includes the contract for games and entertainment,as well as payment
for the Palos Verdes Symphonic Band performance.
11.Other Recreation Special Events
Page 145 of draft budget document
$27,100
Other special events include Whale of a Day and the Shakespeare by the Sea drama
production.Expenditures are for part-time staffing,parking service,equipment rental
and supplies.
12.Hesse Park Kitchen Improvements
Page 175 of draft budget document
$35,000

GUIDE TO THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES BUDGET
FY11-12 & FY12-13
The City's budget is more than just a compilation of revenues and expenditures. It represents a
financial and policy implementation plan. In addition, it is a communication medium for the City
Council, staff and the public. It also encompasses the City's commitment to provide quality, customer-
oriented services to the community.
The budget document is organized into the following sections:
• Budget Overview
• General Fund Overview
• Redevelopment Agency Overview
• Improvement Authority Overview
• City Council
• City Attorney
• City Administration
• Public Safety
• Finance & Information Technology
• Community Development
• Recreation & Parks
• Public Works
• Infrastructure Improvements
• Equipment Replacement
The Budget Overview section contains: the City Manager's budget message, this guide to the budget
document, fund descriptions, combined summaries of funds, inter-fund transfer summaries, an inter-
fund charge summary, revenue descriptions, an index of budget programs, and expenditure
descriptions.
The General Fund Overview section is comprised of a summary of estimated General fund balance,
as well as schedules of General fund revenues, expenditures and operating transfers.
The Redevelopment Agency and Improvement Authority (component units of the City) Overview
sections contain descriptions of component unit activity, as well as component unit fund summaries.
The remainder of the budget document is organized by department or function, and provides detailed
budget program information. Within each department or function section, a description of each
budget program is included, as well as line item budget details and justifications for expenditures and
transfers out.
Within each budget program, program revenues are presented with program expenditures to arrive at
a net program cost to the City.
The following definitions of some of the frequently used words and phrases will help when
reading this budget document:
• Activity - A specific and distinguishable service within a budgetary program to fulfill
1
a community need or a city government responsibility (e.g. the rabies clinic is an
activity within the animal services program).
• Appropriation - City Council authorization to expend monies and/or to incur legal
obligations for specific operational and capital outlay purposes.
• Department - A designated organizational unit of the city government (e.g.
Administration, Public Works, etc.).
• Fiscal Year - The twelve-month period of time to which the budget applies, covering
July 1st through June 30th.
• Fund - A separate fiscal and accounting entity, which segregates specific financial
activity for various purposes or functions.
• Function - A combination of programs and activities authorized by budget
appropriations and designed to achieve a major purpose of the City (e.g. Public
Safety).
• Inter-fund Transfers - Monies transferred from one fund to another in order to
reimburse that fund for expenditures or to finance the activities of that fund. It
should be noted that the City's budget consolidates many Infrastructure
Improvement projects into the Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) fund,
necessitating the transfer of monies from a number of different funds to the CIP fund
to finance these projects.
• Object Accounts - Expenditure classifications according to the types of items
purchased or services obtained (e.g. full time salaries, operating supplies,
professional/technical services, etc.).
• Program - An activity or a group of similar or related activities designed to achieve a
specific goal or objective of the city (e.g. Animal Services is a program within the
Public Safety function).
To assist the reader in understanding the relationship between function, program, activities
and object accounts, the Chart of Accounts – Expenditure Account Code Components is
presented within this Budget Overview section of the budget document.
Capital Improvement Plan
The City’s Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan has been incorporated into this budget
document. Funded projects identified in the Plan can be found within the Infrastructure
Improvements section of this document.

RANCHO PALOS VERDES FUND DESCRIPTIONS
Unrestricted Funds
GENERAL FUND
The General fund is used to account for all revenues and expenditures of the City that
are not required to be accounted for in another fund. Revenues are not restricted and
primarily consist of taxes, fees and permits, fines and forfeitures, use of money and
property, charges for services, and vehicle license fees. Expenditures are primarily for
the operation and administration of City services, including public safety, planning,
building and safety, recreation programs, and maintenance of public facilities.
Funds Restricted by Council Action
BEAUTIFICATION FUND
The City receives a portion of revenues generated by the sale of recyclable materials
picked up at curbside by local refuse haulers. Recycling revenues are used for
neighborhood beautification grants and beautification projects in the City’s right of way
(e.g. medians).
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS (CIP) FUND
The CIP fund accounts for major improvement projects related to roadways, parks,
buildings, rights-of-way, and the sewer system. A variety of funding sources support
CIP expenditures including federal, state, and local grant monies, Proposition A & C
funds, Measure A monies, Developer fees, Beautification monies, and General fund
operating transfers.
EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT FUND
This fund was established in 1990 to collect the costs of operating, maintaining and
replacing City owned vehicles, computer equipment, and office equipment. The fund
allows for a gradual accumulation of monies for equipment replacement, rather than a
sudden expense in the year equipment is replaced. Revenues represent the combined
total of each department’s share of the costs of operation, maintenance, and
depreciation of their respective equipment.
BUILDING REPLACEMENT FUND
The Building Replacement fund is designed to accumulate monies to finance major
improvements (e.g. roofing), and partially provide for future replacement of City owned
buildings.
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS FUND
This fund accounts for the costs of benefits provided to City employees, including
retirement, workers compensation insurance, and health insurance. Revenues
represent the combined total of each department’s share of these costs.

RANCHO PALOS VERDES FUND DESCRIPTIONS
Funds Restricted by Law or External Agencies
STREET MAINTENANCE FUND
Highway Users tax revenue is generated by a state imposed tax on each gallon of fuel
sold in California. Each city in California receives an annual allocation based on vehicle
registration, assessed valuation, and population. Highway Users tax revenue is
restricted and can only be used for road maintenance. Maintenance activities include
street sweeping, crack seal, patching, and curb and gutter repair.
In addition to street maintenance, this fund accounts for traffic signal maintenance,
street landscape maintenance, and Palos Verdes Drive South (PVDS) road
maintenance in the Portuguese Bend landslide area of the City. These maintenance
costs are supplemented with funds transferred from the Waste Reduction fund, the
Landscape and Street Lighting (1972 Act) fund, the Street Lighting (1911 Act) fund, and
the General fund.
LANDSCAPE AND STREET LIGHTING (1972 ACT) FUND
The City Council established a landscape and lighting assessment district in 1992.
Assessments partially fund street landscape activities accounted for within the Street
Maintenance fund. The use of assessment revenues is restricted to expenditures for
activities within the street right-of-way that provide a benefit to the entire City.
EL PRADO FUND
In 1982, the El Prado Recreation and Parks District was reorganized as a subsidiary
district of the City. The City provides regular maintenance and operation services for
two ground level spotlights and two overhead lights at the entrance of the El Prado
neighborhood. A property tax assessment is remitted to the City to fund these
expenditures, as well as other projects to improve the common area at the entrance of
the El Prado neighborhood.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) FUND
The City receives per capita allocations of CDBG funds from the County, which receives
a CDBG allocation from the Federal government. CDBG funds are used for a variety of
projects and activities, including grants and loans to low-income homeowners for home
improvement projects, a recreation program for people with disabilities, and projects
improving accessibility for disabled persons.
STREET LIGHTING (1911 ACT) FUND
In 1995, the City Council authorized the transfer of a street lighting maintenance district

SOURCES AND USES OF CITY REVENUES - ALL FUNDS
GENERAL FUND
The General fund accounts for a variety of different revenues that may be used for any
expenditures of the City. Primarily, General fund revenue consists of general-purpose taxes. The
most significant General fund revenue sources are described below.
PROPERTY TAX: Property Taxes are the largest single source of revenue to the General Fund.
The Los Angeles County Assessor determines property valuations for all real property within the
City. The County levies the base property tax of one percent, equaling $1 per each $100 of
assessed valuation (subject to growth limitations of 2% per year). Rancho Palos Verdes' share of
the $1 is about 6%. (Example: For a home with a $600,000 assessed valuation, the base property
tax billed by the County is $6,000 per year, and the City's 6% share is about $360 per year.) A
number of other governmental agencies providing services within the City receive the remaining
94%, with the majority going to the County and the School Districts.
PROPERTY TAX IN-LIEU OF VEHICLE LICENSE FEES: Prior to 1999, State residents paid a
Vehicle License Fee of 2% of the market value of their respective vehicles to the Department of
Motor Vehicles. This Vehicle License Fee funding is passed through to cities and counties
throughout California. The State legislature reduced the Vehicle License Fee tax rate from 2% to
0.65% over a period of three years ending in 2001. The same legislation also guaranteed cities and
counties that the State would “backfill” or pay the difference between the two rates.
The Property Tax In-Lieu of Vehicle License Fee component of the State’s Budget eliminated the
backfill portion (1.35%) of the Vehicle License Fee payment and replaced it dollar for dollar with
property tax taken from the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund. The Property Tax In-Lieu of
Vehicle License Fee is permanent and took effect on July 1, 2004. Property Tax In-Lieu of Vehicle
License Fee revenue will increase each year with the City’s change in assessed value of taxable
property.
PROPERTY TAX IN-LIEU OF SALES TAX (TRIPLE FLIP): Proposition 57, the one time Economic
Recovery Bond of $15 billion, was approved by the voters of California on March 2, 2004. The $15
billion will be used to finance the State’s accumulated General Fund deficit.
The "Triple Flip" mechanism, used to secure the $15 billion bond issue, redirects 0.25% of the sales
and use tax going to cities and counties throughout the State. The State will then replace the lost
revenue on a dollar-for-dollar basis with property tax taken from the Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund. The Triple Flip took effect on July 1, 2004. The Triple Flip will be
discontinued when the Economic Recovery Bonds are retired. The Property Tax In-Lieu of Sales
Tax increases each year in relation to the sales and use tax each jurisdiction would have otherwise
received.
SALES AND USE TAX: In accordance with the California Revenue and Taxation Code and the
Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law of 1955, this tax is imposed at the rate of
9.25% on the sales price of any taxable transaction in Los Angeles County (County).
The State Board of Equalization administers sales and use tax. Prior to the issuance of the State’s
Economic Recovery Bond issue of $15 billion, the City received 1% of the sales tax rate. However,
as detailed in the Property Tax In-Lieu of Sales Tax section above, the City currently receives only
0.75%. The State, County and Transportation District share the remaining sales tax collected.
UTILITY USERS TAX: In FY93-94, the voters of the City approved a tax of 3% on the consumers
of natural gas, electricity, water, and telephone services. The tax is collected by each of these
17
SOURCES AND USES OF CITY REVENUES - ALL FUNDS
utilities as a part of its regular billing procedure and remitted to the City.
FRANCHISE TAXES: Under several State statutes, the City imposes franchise tax on natural gas,
electric, water, trash and cable television companies operating in the City for the privilege of using
the City rights-of-way. The amounts paid are based on a percentage of gross receipts.
BUSINESS LICENSE TAX: Title 5 of the Municipal Code requires all entities conducting business
within the City to pay annual Business License tax, generally based on the gross receipts of the
business.
PROPERTY TRANSFER TAX: The County collects a Property Transfer Tax when real property
changes ownership. The County collects $1.10 for each $1,000 of value transferred (sales price),
which is split between the County and the City.
TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX: The City’s transient occupancy tax (TOT) is 10% of rent charged
by an operator for the privilege of occupying a hotel.
GOLF TAX: In 1993, the golf tax was established as 10% of golf fees charged by the golf course
operator.
PLANNING AND BUILDING PERMITS: The Planning and Building divisions issue permits for
building/remodel construction activities involving residential and commercial structures to ensure
compliance with the City's Development Code. Permit fees are charged to recover the cost of
providing such services.
FINES AND FORFEITURES: The City receives a portion of the revenue collected from traffic
tickets issued within the City. The Superior Court administers the traffic ticket revenue and has
asserted that the City receives an average of about 89% of the revenue from each ticket.
USE OF MONEY AND PROPERTY: This includes earnings from investment of City funds as well
as revenue received from the Point Vicente Interpretive Center, rental of City facilities, parking lot
fees, and other rentals.
INTERFUND CHARGES FOR SERVICES (SPECIAL FUND ADMINISTRATION): Certain
restricted City funds (1972 Act Assessment District, 1911 Act Assessment District, Proposition A,
Beautification and Waste Reduction) are charged amounts to defray the costs of City administration
of these activities.
MOTOR VEHICLE IN-LIEU FEES (VEHICLE LICENSE FEES): Prior to 1999, State residents paid
a Vehicle License Fee of 2% of the market value of their respective vehicles to the Department of
Motor Vehicles. This Vehicle License Fee funding is passed through to cities and counties
throughout California. The State legislature reduced the Vehicle License Fee tax rate from 2% to
0.65% over a period of three years ending in 2001. The same legislation also guaranteed cities and
counties that the State would “backfill” or pay the difference between the two rates.
As described above, the Property Tax In-Lieu of Vehicle License Fee component of the State’s
Budget eliminated the backfill portion (1.35%) of the Vehicle License Fee payment and replaces it
dollar for dollar with property tax taken from the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund. The
Vehicle License Fee revenue detailed in the City’s Budget is comprised of the “non-backfill” portion
(.65%), which is distributed to cities and counties based on population, after the cost to administer
the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is deducted.
18
SOURCES AND USES OF CITY REVENUES - ALL FUNDS
RESTRICTED REVENUES
The revenue sources listed below are restricted by law or administrative action for specific
purposes.
TRANSPORTATION
STATE HIGHWAY USERS TAX: The City is allocated a share of revenues derived from the State
Highway Users Tax based primarily on population. This tax is collected by gasoline retailers at the
pump and is administered by the State Controller. Proposition 111 makes additional gas tax
monies available to cities, although the city must meet a Maintenance of Effort (MOE) requirement.
This MOE necessitates spending a certain amount of General fund monies for street maintenance.
The Highway Users Tax is restricted and can only be used for the construction, improvement, and
maintenance of public rights-of-way. Activities financed by the Highway Users tax include, but are
not limited to, street patching, slurry sealing, street reconstruction, curb/gutter/sidewalk repair, and
street sweeping.
PROPOSITION C: Proposition C is a voter-approved measure enacted in 1990 which imposes a ½
cent sales tax in Los Angeles County for the purpose of improving transportation conditions. These
monies are distributed on a per capita basis and must be used for transit services, bus stop
improvements and maintenance, and street improvement projects for streets heavily used by
transit. Proposition C monies must be spent within three years of allocation. Proposition C monies
are used to support the arterial pavement management program (overlay and slurry seal).
PROPOSITION A: The City receives monies from Proposition A, which is a ½ cent sales tax
approved by the voters of Los Angeles County in 1980. The revenues are received by cities on a
per capita basis and may only be used for transit services and bus stop improvements and
maintenance.
The City has historically used these monies to finance participation in the Palos Verdes Transit/Dial-
a-Ride, Municipal Area Express (MAX) transit system, and for bus stop shelter maintenance and
improvements.
MEASURE R: Measure R is a voter-approved ½ cent sales tax to be used for transit and freeway
improvement projects. This measure was approved in November 2008 and will go into effect July 1,
2009. It was enacted for a period of 30 years for Los Angeles County. This money will help fund
projects such as pothole repairs, arterial street resurfacing, left-turn signals, bikeways, pedestrian
improvements, streetscapes, traffic signal synchronization and local transit services. These funds
will be allocated by Metro, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, according
to an approved expenditure plan.
BIKEWAY/PEDESTRIAN (SB 821): Bikeway/pedestrian funds are received annually based on
population. These funds are authorized under the California Transportation Development Act
(TDA), SB 821, Article 3. The funds may be used for the design and construction of bicycle and
pedestrian facilities on roadways, which meet specific requirements.
LANDSCAPE AND STREET LIGHTING
1972 ACT ASSESSMENTS: In 1992, the City Council approved the establishment of a Landscape
and Lighting District as allowed in the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972. These funds may be
19
SOURCES AND USES OF CITY REVENUES - ALL FUNDS
used for activities including the operation, servicing, and maintenance of City landscaping, park and
recreation improvements, street lighting and traffic signals. The assessments under a 1972 Act
district are calculated each year based on the benefit received by each parcel of property and are
billed on the property tax bill. Some expenses of the district have been determined to be of citywide
benefit while the remaining expenses are only assessed to local areas of benefit. These
calculations are made and adopted annually as a part of the Assessment Engineer’s report.
EL PRADO LIGHTING ASSESSMENTS: In 1982, the El Prado Recreation and Parks District was
reorganized as a subsidiary district of the City. The City provides service for the maintenance and
operation of two ground-level spotlights and two overhead lights at the entrance to the El Prado
neighborhood. A property tax assessment is remitted to the City to finance these expenditures, as
well as other projects to improve the common area at the entrance of the El Prado neighborhood.
1911 ACT ASSESSMENTS: In 1995, the City Council authorized the transfer of a street lighting
maintenance district from Los Angeles County to the City. Funds generated from an existing 1911
Act District established by Los Angeles County are now remitted to the City for street lighting
maintenance costs. The assessments for this district are calculated based on benefit and are only
for property within the boundaries of the district.
INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCE
ABALONE COVE SEWER DISTRICT: In 2002, the Redevelopment Agency completed
construction of a sanitary sewer system in the Abalone Cove area. Parcel owners in the Abalone
Cove sewer project area pay semi-annual fees to the Abalone Cove Sewer (assessment) District to
partially fund the operating cost of the sewer system. The amount of the fee is based upon costs to
provide sewer services to that parcel, and varies with the type of sewer connection.
WATER QUALITY FLOOD PROTECTION FUND: In 2005, property owners approved the Storm
Drain User Fee, which provides funding for the City’s storm drain improvement and maintenance
program. Property owners pay the user fee for parcels that use the City’s storm drain system. In
2006, the fee was based on $86 per Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU); increasing by the
Consumer Price Index each year (maximum 2%). The median residential parcel size in the City
represents one ERU. The fee currently generates about $1.2 million of restricted revenue for the
City annually.
PARK DEVELOPMENT
QUIMBY: The City collects Quimby Act fees using the provisions of the State Subdivision Map Act
and the City Municipal Code. These fees are collected from residential developers in-lieu of
dedicating land for park use. The fees are based on a formula specified in the Municipal Code.
They are paid by residential developers as a condition of approval for final subdivision maps or
parcel maps and are used for improving park and recreation facilities.
MEASURE "A" / COUNTY PARK BOND ACT: In 1992, and again 1996, the voters of Los Angeles
County approved the Safe Neighborhood and Parks Act (a.k.a. Measure "A"-1992/1996) which
places an assessment on the property tax bill for each residential property within the County for the
purpose of county-wide park improvements. The City is eligible for several funding components
including specific projects contained in the Act, Discretionary per Parcel funds, and countywide
Competitive Grants. These funds are to be used for City parks and recreation capital
improvements.
20
SOURCES AND USES OF CITY REVENUES - ALL FUNDS
MEASURE “A” MAINTENANCE: As part of the Measure “A”/County Park Bond Act described
above, the City receives annual funding allocations for maintenance. These funds can only be used
for maintenance and servicing open space and park improvements acquired or built by the City with
Measure “A” funds.
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT MITIGATION
HABITAT RESTORATION FEE: In 1997, the City Council granted a conservation easement over
the Palos Verdes Drive East Switchback property to the developer of the Ocean Trails golf course
and residential project (now Trump National). The easement allows the developer to re-vegetate
the property with coastal sage scrub habitat as mitigation for impacts to the native habitat on the
Ocean Trails project site. A fee was charged for the conservation easement and the money will be
used for future habitat restoration efforts on City owned property. It is anticipated that other
developers may purchase conservation easements from the City or pay habitat mitigation fees,
which will be added to this fund. The specific use of these funds will be determined on an on-going
basis.
SUBREGION 1 MAINTENANCE MONIES: In 1992, the City Council approved Tentative Tract Map
No. 46628 for 79 single family residential lots at the base of Hawthorne Boulevard, seaward of
Palos Verdes Drive West. The project included dedication of over 70 acres of open space to the
City. In February 1999, the developer entered into a development agreement with the City that
required the payment of $750,000 to the City to fund long-term maintenance of the dedicated open
space. The endowment generates interest earnings to maintain the landscaped areas, wetlands,
bluff face, native habitat areas, trails, signage, scenic turn-outs, parking areas and miscellaneous
drainage improvements on the dedicated property.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN-LIEU FEE: In June 1997, the City Council approved the
establishment of an in-lieu affordable housing fee pursuant to the City's General Plan Housing
Element and Development Code. The fee is charged to developers of large commercial and
residential projects who do not provide affordable housing on-site as part of their development
project, and will facilitate the development of affordable housing within the City. This includes
providing affordable housing to low and moderate-income households through the construction or
renovation of facilities or through rental subsidy programs. The specific use of the funds will be
determined on an on-going basis.
ENVIRONMENTAL EXCISE TAX: In 1974, the City Council determined that development and
construction of new residential and commercial structures in the City had impacts on the existing
quality of life and ecology of the City, and that this new development increases the demand for
public services. Therefore, the City Council imposed a special, nonrecurring Environmental Excise
Tax. The funds are to be used for the purpose of purchasing land, constructing buildings and
improvements, and purchasing machinery and equipment to develop, improve and expand City
services and capital facilities.
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
PROPERTY TAX INCREMENT: The City’s Redevelopment Agency receives property tax
increment in the project area (the landslide area of the City). This revenue is used to repay the
Agency’s debt to the County used to finance landslide abatement activities. After the debt to
the County is repaid, the Redevelopment Agency may use tax increment to repay its debt to the
City, also used to finance landslide abatement activities. The Agency began collecting tax
increment in 1985, and will continue to collect tax increment through 2034.
21
SOURCES AND USES OF CITY REVENUES - ALL FUNDS
20% SET-ASIDE: State law requires that the City’s Redevelopment Agency set aside 20% of the
property tax increment it receives for the purpose of acquiring, developing and providing affordable
housing within the City.
OTHER SOURCES OF REVENUE
RECYCLING: The City has conducted a single-family, curbside recycling program since 1989 and
a multi-family program since 1991. The City receives funds from the sale of recyclable materials
picked up by the waste haulers and deposits those funds into the Beautification fund. These
recycling funds are used for activities including beautification grants to enhance areas visible from
the public rights-of-way and for the Recycler of the Month program.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT: Block grant funds are made available through
the federal Housing and Urban Development department and are administered by the L.A. County
Community Development Commission (CDC). Each fiscal year, the City receives an allocation on a
per capita basis. Typically, there is a requirement that a portion of the CDBG funds must be used
for projects that benefit low and moderate-income residents. The CDC determines the exact
amount of funding for each project. The City currently uses this funding to extend grants and loans
to low and moderate-income property owners for home improvements, certain projects to assist the
City and its compliance with the Americans with Disability Act (ADA), and a recreation program for
the developmentally disabled.
WASTE REDUCTION: Fees are collected from residents and businesses and remitted to the City
by waste haulers to fund the Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE) program as
mandated by State law - the Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939). Grants are also
received for activities within the SRRE program.
AIR QUALITY: Under Assembly Bill (AB) 2766, the State authorized an assessment on the Motor
Vehicle Fee for transportation/air quality related activities of local governments. These funds are
administered by the South Coast Air Quality Management District and are distributed to cities on a
population basis. The funds are used for reduction of air pollution within the south coast basin. The
City currently uses its allocation to help fund its participation in local transit operations.

CITY PERSONNEL
The City of Rancho Palos Verdes is a contract city utilizing third party vendors for
all of its major services, including police and fire protection. The Community
Development and Recreation departments provide the City’s in-house
operational services including building inspection, code enforcement, planning,
and recreation programs. The City has a total staff of 75.5 full-time equivalents
(FTE’s), including 58 full-time positions and about 25 part-time positions.
Many of the City’s employees have professional and technical qualifications. In
fact, 37 of the 58 full-time positions require a college degree; and there are only 5
full-time administrative support positions. Many of the non-degreed positions
have technical qualifications and specific experience requirements.
As the City maintains a small staff, employees wear many different hats; which
helps to develop a big-picture perspective. Combined with the institutional
knowledge that comes with longevity (31 of the 58 full-time employees have
more than 10 years of service), the City is able to serve the community with
relatively lean staffing levels.

RANCHO PALOS VERDES REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
The Rancho Palos Verdes Redevelopment Agency (RDA) was established in
1984 with the primary purpose of providing mitigation measures to stabilize
landslides in the Abalone Cove and Portuguese Bend areas of the City.
RDA expenditures for landslide mitigation facilities are accounted for in two
separate funds based on the geographical boundaries of the two landslide areas.
In addition, the RDA maintains a Housing Set-Aside fund to account for the 20%
tax increment set-aside for affordable housing purposes as required by law, and
a Debt Service fund to account for the outstanding debt. Program budgets and
justifications are included in the Public Works section of this two-year budget
document; with the exception of the Housing Set-Aside fund, which is included in
the Community Development section.
Operating and maintenance expenditures for the landslide mitigation facilities
constructed by the RDA are budgeted and accounted for within the Joint Powers
Improvement Authority.
The City has entered into an agreement to provide the RDA operating funds in
the form of advances from the City’s General fund, as the RDA requires in
carrying out its function. Each fiscal year, interest accrues on these advances (at
the rate of 3% plus the average Local Agency Investment Fund rate, or LAIF
rate) and is added to the balance of the loan. A Summary of RDA Loans from
the City is included in this budget section.
The 20% housing set-aside is for the purpose of preserving, improving and
expanding housing opportunities for low and moderate income residents. In
FY09-10 and FY10-11, the RDA expended the 20% set-aside funds it had
accrued over the years on the development of the City’s first affordable housing
project - the 34-unit Mirandela Senior Affordable Housing Complex. In the future,
the RDA will continue to expend its 20% funds towards affordable housing
opportunities.

RANCHO PALOS VERDES JOINT POWERS IMPROVEMENT AUTHORITY
Operating and maintenance expenditures for the landslide mitigation facilities
constructed by the Rancho Palos Verdes Redevelopment Agency (RDA) are
budgeted and accounted for within the Joint Powers Improvement Authority.
Maintenance within the Abalone Cove landslide area is funded in accordance
with the 1987 Landslide Settlement Agreement between the City, the RDA, and
the County. The agreement required that $1,000,000 of the original $10,000,000
bond proceeds be set aside as a non-expendable deposit from which investment
interest earnings are to be used for the cost of landslide mitigation facility
maintenance within Abalone Cove.
Unlike Abalone Cove, maintenance within the Portuguese Bend landslide area
has no independent source of funding. These costs are funded with annual
operating transfers from the City’s General Fund, and are accounted for in a
separate fund within the Improvement Authority in order to prevent commingling
of funding sources. It should be noted that according to the Landslide Settlement
Agreement, tax increment revenue of the RDA is not to be used to provide
maintenance for either Abalone Cove or Portuguese Bend landslide mitigation
facilities.
Program budgets and justifications are shown within the Public Works
Department, which has responsibility for administering those programs.

CITY ADMINISTRATION PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE PROGRAM
City Council challenged staff to develop an employee incentive program for the coming year that
tied incentive compensation levels to positive, pro-active financial and customer service
improvements, beginning in Fiscal Year 10-11. Applying a private-sector, incentive-based
model, staff was tasked with offsetting potential personnel incentive payments by identifying
cost savings and locating new sources of revenue--all while improving service and efficiency.
Rancho Palos Verdes is already a lean organization with the lowest revenue per capita in the
South Bay and the fewest full-time employees for its population.
57
Staff met the challenge, generating a total of 138 suggestions. A multi-departmental committee
examined the suggestions closely and identified the best ideas. 17 ideas involved cost
savings/new revenue and 29 provided enhanced customer service and organizational
efficiencies. Those ideas totaled over $600,000 in cost savings and revenue generation, far
exceeding City Council’s target of $150,000 for fiscal year 10-11. Staff’s suggestions and
accomplishments were highlighted at a “Spotlight on Achievements” event on May 3, 2011.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
In June 2009, the Council authorized the City Clerk’s Office to convert from preparing summary
minutes to action minutes for all televised City Council meetings and detailed minutes for all
non-televised City Council meetings. As a result of this change, the City Clerk discontinued the
use of a contract minute taker and began transcribing the minutes in-house. The goal is to have
the draft minutes ready for Council’s adoption within thirty days of the meeting, including the
time it takes for the City Clerk to circulate the draft minutes to staff for comments prior to placing
them on the agenda for approval. As reflected in the following graph, there has been a marked
decrease in turnaround time for the production of the minutes, in spite of an increase in the
number of meetings and other increasing work demands in the office. For purposes of
comparison, in 2007, there were 32 Council meetings with an average time between the
meeting date and the date of approval of the minutes of approximately 98 days; and in 2008,
there were 35 Council meetings with an average time between the meeting date and the date of
approval of the minutes of approximately 103 days. As further illustrated in the graph, in 2009
there were 40 meetings with an average time between the meeting date and the date of
approval of the minutes of approximately 43 days; and in 2010 there were 44 meetings with an
average time between the meeting date and the date of approval of the minutes of
approximately 28 days.

RISK MANAGEMENT
The number of Workers Compensation claims (including part-time staff and volunteers) has
remained low through the years. Rancho Palos Verdes is consistently among the leaders in low
workers compensation losses among cities of our size and risk. The recent increase in claims
reflects a change in the industry standards of what constitutes a claim.

The majority of liability claims filed against the City tend to be related to City trees, traffic
accidents and trip and falls at City facilities. The City’s liability claims tend to average fewer
than fifteen claims annually. However, the number of claims increased substantially in 2005-
59
2006 as a result of the 2004/2005 disaster rainstorms. Our claim experience compared with
other cities of our size and risk is about average.

PUBLIC SAFETY
The public safety program provides for the overall protection and preservation of the City, including
its residents, business owners and visitors. Public safety programs, which are administered by the
City Manager’s Office, include Sheriff, Special Programs, and Emergency Preparedness.
SHERIFF
The City contracts with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for general law enforcement
services through a joint regional law enforcement agreement with the Cities of Rolling Hills and
Rolling Hills Estates. The Deputy City Manager serves as the liaison to the Regional Law
Enforcement Committee. Sheriff services include: patrol services, traffic and parking enforcement,
general and specialized investigations, and various crime prevention services.
SPECIAL PROGRAMS
Special law enforcement programs include school crossing guard services, the parking citation-
processing contract, sobriety checkpoint and seat belt enforcement programs and the “Student and
the Law” classes taught at Palos Verdes Peninsula High School and Rancho Del Mar Continuation
School by deputies from the Lomita Sheriff’s Station.
78
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
Through the Emergency Preparedness program, the City provides for disaster planning and
coordination of a comprehensive emergency action program in the event of a natural or man-made
disaster. The City Manager’s Office is responsible for maintaining the City’s emergency supplies,
training City staff, updating the City’s Emergency Operations Plan, coordinating with the County and
other local agencies, and providing staff support to the City’s Emergency Preparedness Committee.
PUBLIC SAFETY GRANTS
The Public Safety Grants program accounts for grants received by the City that are restricted to
certain public safety expenditures The City has received California Law Enforcement Equipment
Program (CLEEP) funds from the state, which are used to purchase technology and equipment for
law enforcement. These monies are recorded in a special revenue fund and transferred out to pay
for eligible public safety costs expended within the General fund. In 2008 and 2011, CLEEP funds
were used to purchase a patrol car equipped with an Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR)
software system.
PUBLIC SAFETY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
PART I CRIMES
Part I offenses are used by law enforcement agencies in the United States to reveal the extent of
criminal activity and to identify trends. Part I crimes include criminal homicide, forcible rape,
robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny theft, grand theft auto and arson. There were no
homicides or incidents of arson in 2010, but there were 8 reported cases of rapes, 5 robberies and
29 aggravated assaults for a total of 42 violent crimes. The majority of the rape cases involved
victims who knew their assailant, often associated with domestic violence incidents. Therefore,
there was no indication of a serial rapist in the community.

Cities often use a formula based on the number of Part I Crimes committed each year per
10,000 in population as a way of expressing the overall crime rate in the community. The chart
below compares the crime rate in Rancho Palos Verdes using this formula since 2001:
Year Crimes Rate
2001 123.06
2002 137.61
2003 122.42
2004 122.42
2005 100.57
2006 120.41
2007 139.28
2008 123.33
2009 102.38
2010 110.24
In 2008, about 110 people out of every 10,000 in Rancho Palos Verdes were victims of a Part 1
Crime, compared to 246 for the entire area of Los Angeles County served by the Sheriff’s
Department.
80
SHERIFF’S RESPONSE TIME
The Sheriff’s goal is to respond to calls for assistance in a timely manner, especially with regard to
immediate needs and emergency situations. The Lomita Sheriff Station’s estimated average
response times are as follows:
Sheriff’s Response Time Performance
Type of Calls Desired Response
Time
Average
Routine Within 60 minutes Most often 25 minutes or less
Immediate Within 20 minutes Most often 10 minutes or less
Emergency Within 10 minutes Most often 6 minutes or less
CORE DEPUTY TEAM
First established in FY96-97, the Community Resource (CORE) Team provides Sheriff Deputies
assigned to address juvenile crime and delinquency issues, assist with emergency preparedness,
coordinate with the City’s volunteer Neighborhood Watch program, patrol open space areas and
resolve neighborhood disputes. One of the CORE Team’s primary missions is to police the local
high schools and intermediate schools and the adjacent shopping areas to detect and deter juvenile
crime. Because of the variables involved in the reporting of data on juvenile crime, the exact effect
the CORE team has had on juvenile crime in the City is uncertain. For the City of Rancho Palos
Verdes, however, the Sheriff’s Department has reported the following number of incidents involving
youth, which indicates a declining trend during the first four years of the program and relative
stability since that time, with only one discernible uptick in 2005:
Year Juvenile Crimes Number of Deputies
1997 149 reports 1
1998 99 reports 1
1999 95 reports 2
2000 66 reports 2
2001 42 reports 3
2002 36 reports 3
2003 45 reports 3
2004 32 reports 3
2005 51 reports 3
2006 31 reports 3
2007 27 reports 3
2008 31 reports 3
2009 27 reports 2
2010 31 reports 2
According to the Sheriff’s Department, the criteria consisted of all crime reports involving a subject
between the ages of five and seventeen. This included both identified subjects and unidentified
subjects with a description provided by a witness (based on information provided by the Los
Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Lomita Station).
81
ANIMAL CONTROL
The City contracts with the County of Los Angeles, Department of Animal Care and Control
(LAC DACC) for basic service. The County provides and charges for services tendered upon
request or service call. The agency’s target response times are identified below.

The FY11-12 amount reflects and 3.07% increase, and the FY12-
13 amount reflects a 3.00% increase.
1. General Law Enforcement: Provides for basic law enforcement
services by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department as part
of the Peninsula Regional Law Enforcement Agreement. This
amount reflects the "One Price Model" concept established by the
Sheriff’s Department in 1998. That concept was implemented to
give cities greater flexibility in the use of their police force. For
example, instead of purchasing units specifically for general law or
traffic enforcement at different prices, this "cost model" approach
enables the City to purchase units at "one price" and direct their
use wherever necessary.
Also included in this amount is the 4% liability cost for the Liability
Trust Fund that is administered by the County of Los Angeles.
For FY11-12 only, the Liability Trust Fund contribution
requirement has been temporarily suspended. The FY12-13
amount includes the required 4% contribution. Oversight of this
fund, however, is conducted by the Liability Trust Fund Oversight
Committee, which was established by the Contract Cities
Association. The City’s cost for this Oversight Committee is
based upon an approximate cost of 0.1515% of the City’s contract
with the Sheriff’s Department.
2. Traffic Control at Miraleste Intermediate School: A Los Angeles
County Sheriff’s Community Service Officer (CSO) conducts traffic
control at this location. The cost of a CSO is less than a Deputy
Sheriff and the cost is shared among the three Regional Cities
(Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills Estates and Rolling Hills)
based upon the percentage of their student population: RPV 75%,
RHE 22%, and RH 3%.
3. Grant Deputy Program: This budget is for the Community
Resource (CORE) policing team that polices Peninsula High
School, Rancho del Mar Continuation School, Miraleste
Intermediate School, Dodson Junior High School, the Peninsula
Shopping Center and the open space areas on the south side of
the Peninsula. The team also teaches Student & the Law classes
at Peninsula High School and Rancho del Mar Continuation
School. First established in FY96-97 with one deputy, the Team
was increased in size until it had three deputies beginning in FY99-
00. Beginning in FY09-10, the regional contract CORE team has
been reduced to two deputies. A portion of the funding for this
program comes from a grant received from the State through the
COPS (Brulte) legislation.

Planning decisions rendered over-the-counter typically involve a ministerial review of plans by
counter staff to ensure that the proposed improvements meet the City’s development standards,
with the possible necessity of a foliage analysis. Decisions on planning applications that are
rendered by the Director, Planning Commission or City Council are discretionary decisions that
usually involve a finding of neighborhood compatibility. The City’s neighborhood compatibility
review process can be lengthy since it typically involves the submission of detailed project
plans, the construction of a project silhouette, the issuance of a public notice with comment
period, numerous site visits by staff to address issues raised by the public and the preparation
of a Staff Report that analyzes the proposal in the context of the closest 20 properties.
Decisions rendered by the Planning Commission take longer since they necessitate the
scheduling of a public hearing before the Commission. More than one public hearing is often
needed for the Planning Commission to render a decision. Decisions by the City Council
typically occur as a result of an appeal. The processing time noted is the median time between
application submittal and application completeness and the median time between application
completeness and application decision. Processing time between application submittal and
application completeness includes the time taken by applicants to respond to incomplete items,
which can vary in duration and which City staff has no control over.

Building permits issued over-the-counter typically involve minor improvements such as
plumbing, electrical or mechanical work, re-roofs and any other non-structural projects. Building
permits that are taken in for plan check typically involve projects that require a structural
engineering or geo-technical review such as building construction, pools, retaining walls and
tenant improvements. The processing time noted is the median time between building permit
submittal into plan check and when the permit is ready for issuance. Processing time includes
the time taken by applicants to respond to plan check corrections, which can vary in duration
and which City staff has no control over.

Municipal Code enforcement cases typically involve violations such as property maintenance or
trash can issues. These cases are typically resolved through a site visit, written notice and
consultation with the offending party. Building Code enforcement cases typically involve
violations such as non-permitted construction or grading. These cases are typically resolved
after one or more site visits and multiple letters to the offending party. Furthermore, these cases
often require parties to go through the planning application and building permit process to
resolve the issue while being monitored by code enforcement staff. Zoning Code enforcement
cases typically involve building permit violations such as expired permits. These cases are
110
typically resolved with a letter to the offending party. The processing time noted is the median
time between the filing of a case and when the case is closed out or resolved. It should be

View Restoration Permits are requests for the restoration of a view that has been impaired by
foliage and no documentation of the view since November 1989 exists. The processing of these
permits typically involves a pre-application meeting and depending on the success of the pre-
application meeting, may require a hearing before the Planning Commission. View Preservation
Permits are requests for the preservation of a view that has existed sometime since November
1989 (as documented in a photograph) and which now has been impaired by foliage. The
processing of these permits typically involves staff site visits, a staff analysis and a
determination by the Director. City Tree Review Permits are requests for the restoration of a
view that has been impaired by City trees. The processing of these permits typically involves a
site visit, the preparation of a staff report, input from the City arborist, notice of the decision and
the trimming or removal of the City tree(s) by City work crews.

RECREATION & PARKS DEPARTMENT
The Recreation and Parks Department is responsible for coordinating a comprehensive park system
and numerous community activities. The Recreation and Parks Department manages five programs:
Administration, Recreational Facilities, Special Events, Point Vicente Interpretive Center (PVIC), and
the REACH Program. Some specific responsibilities of the Recreation and Parks Department include:
RECREATION ADMINISTRATION (101-5010)
• Coordination with a variety of community groups to assure compliance with City requirements
for approximately 20 community events (e.g. the Palos Verdes Marathon and the Palos Verdes
Peninsula Land Conservancy nature walks);
• Administration of the Gifts for Parks program, which formally recognizes donations from
individuals and organizations for REACH, special events such as the Fourth of July Celebration;
• Supervision of approximately 30 part-time employees that staff park facilities;
• Coordination with the Los Angeles County Fire Department (Lifeguard Division) for lifeguard
services at Abalone Cove Beach. The County receives tax and assessment revenues to
provide for these services; hence they are provided at no cost to the City;
• Administration of long-term leases at City parks and public facilities; and
• Administration of the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA) Rangers
contract. The Ranger Program is a partnership between the City of Rancho Palos Verdes and
the MRCA and provides open space patrols and interpretive services such as educational
information about the Palos Verdes Peninsula Nature Preserve, night hikes, and community
presentations.
Abalone Cove Shoreline Park
131
RECREATIONAL FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS (101-5030)

Cove Shoreline Park;
• Coordination of several new City-run recreation programs for youth and adults;
• Coordination of privatized recreation classes;
• Coordination of facility rentals for events such as weddings, private parties, special tours, non-profit
organization events, City meetings and Peninsula Seniors events; and
• Coordination of the promotion of the park sites through community outreach events, fliers, the City’s
website, and media outlets.

• Administration of the City's largest volunteer population (150 participants). The Los Serenos de
Point Vicente docent organization offers hikes and tours at Abalone Cove Shoreline Park, the
Forrestal Nature Reserve, the trails at Trump National, and Point Vicente Interpretive Center.
Activities include hosting the City’s Appreciation Luncheon and providing guidance and
interpretive services for 3,000 to 5,000 participants at pre-scheduled docent led hikes and tours
per year;
• Coordination of the day-to-day activities of a gift shop and popular museum focused on the

participants with developmental disabilities; and
• Creation of four quarterly REACH newsletters listing the available activities and programs.
133
RECREATION & PARKS PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
The Recreation and Parks Department provides quality recreation services for park visitors in a
number of ways. While many of these recreation options are difficult to quantify, (e.g. the
number of children using City playgrounds), other recreation options such as private rentals,
classes, docent-led hikes, and community organization meetings are scheduled through the
Department and are therefore more readily calculated and tracked. Attendance totals are
derived from contract estimates and staff observations. However, the totals below do not
reflect long-term leased facilities, and City meetings. The largest numbers of visitors use the
parks for informal, non-contracted drop-in use. Due to the inherent difficulty of arriving at an
accurate estimate, no numbers are included for drop-in use.
Park Rentals and Attendance
The following graphs show the total attendance and the number of events that took place at
Rancho Palos Verdes parks from 2000-2010. These events include community group
meetings, private party rentals, senior lectures and bridge, and youth sports leagues, just to
name a few.

Docent-Led Educational Hikes and Tours
Another recreation option provided by the Department is the docent-led educational hike and
tour program offered at several RPV locations. These hikes and tours provide schools, scout
groups, individuals, and organizations the opportunity to learn about local flora, fauna, and
geology, as well as to the chance to experience the natural beauty of Rancho Palos Verdes.
Below are graphs illustrating the number of hikes and tours and participant attendance at the
tide pools at Abalone Cove, the trails at Trump National, the Forrestal Nature Reserve, and the
museum at the Point Vicente Interpretive Center from 2000-2010.

152
TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT (101-3006 and 202-3004)
The Traffic Management program accounts for management, maintenance and improvements
of the City’s traffic engineering facilities, consulting traffic engineering support to the City’s
Traffic Safety Commission, Radar Trailer Program for traffic education and enforcement,
Pavement Striping and Marking Program, Safe Routes to School program, oversized vehicle
and neighborhood parking permit programs, and traffic signal maintenance, repair and upgrade
activities.
STORM WATER QUALITY (101-3007)
In 1972, Congress passed the Clean Water Act (CWA) to reduce water pollution from end-of-
pipe sources. Through the CWA, a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
was established, which is administered by Regional Water Quality Control Boards in individual
states. In 1987, the CWA was revised to include the reduction of pollutants in municipal storm-
water runoff as well.
In 1990, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region, issued its
first NPDES Permit for control of storm-water and urban runoff from municipalities (MS4 Permit)
153
within Los Angeles County. Rancho Palos Verdes is a co-permittee of the Los Angeles County
MS4 Permit, with the Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD) being the lead
agency. The goals of the MS4 permit are the protection of the beneficial uses of water bodies
within Los Angeles County and the reduction of pollutants in storm-water and urban runoff to the
maximum extent practicable. As a result of the NPDES MS4 Permit, the City is required to
investigate illicit discharges, develop a program to reduce pollutants from public agency
activities, implement a public outreach program to educate the public, review plans for storm-
water concerns as they are submitted to the City, inspect construction sites for proper sediment
control and inspect selected businesses for potential storm-water related problems.
The MS4 Permit has a five-year life span and subsequent MS4 Permits were issued in 1996
and 2001. With each permit the number of requirements and complexity for compliance has
increased. These complexities have kept the expected 2006 MS4 Permit from being
authorized, and the next five year cycle is upon us again in 2011. The Regional Board had
planned to issue an extension to the 2006 Permit for another 18 months, beginning in April of
2011 as a temporary measure until a new five year permit could be set in place. However, the
LACFCD has indicated they will no longer serve as lead agency and will instead seek their own
permit. The loss of the lead agency for the Los Angeles County permit, combined with strong
reactions from other co-permittees and the environmental community on the permit
requirements, have derailed these plans. We continue to monitor status changes of the new
permit, which come frequently.
Beginning in 2001, the Los Angeles County MS4 Permit included provisions for the
implementation of “Total Maximum Daily Loads” (TMDLs), which establish numerical limits on
the amount of selected pollutants that can be discharged in storm-water and urban runoff.
Development of these TMDLs is controversial and requires vigorous review by the City to avoid
unreasonable and unfunded demands by the state agency. Several additional TMDLs have
been added over the years and more are anticipated in the near future. Accordingly, the cost of
implementation and compliance is expected to rise. The City has expended funds on structural
improvements, such as catch basin inserts, and programmatic efforts, such as shared
monitoring and public outreach plans with other peninsula cities. The Storm Water Quality
program funds the City’s activities with respect to these regulations.
BUILDING MAINTENANCE (101-3008)
The Building Maintenance program centralizes maintenance expenditures for all Cityowned
buildings, including those at the Civic Center and various park sites. Building Maintenance
includes routine activities such as custodial services, general repairs, security, utility service and
generator maintenance; as well as non-routineor preventive activities such as flooring
replacement and painting.
PARKS, TRAILS & OPEN SPACE MAINTENANCE (101-3009 and 224-3024)
The Parks, Trails & Open Space Maintenance program centralizes maintenance expenditures
for all City park sites and open space areas. Specific activities accounted for in this program
include weed abatement, maintenance of grounds, play equipment and picnic areas, irrigation
systems, and trails.
154
STREET MAINTENANCE - PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD MAINTENANCE – PAVEMENT
MANAGEMENT (202-3002 and 202-3005)
The Portuguese Bend Road Maintenance – Pavement Management program accounts for the
roadway maintenance of Palos Verdes Drive South in the landslide area of the City. Roadway
maintenance includes periodic resurfacing, pavement grinding, dig out repairs, reworking
roadway base material, crack-sealing, re-striping and curb repairs.
STREET MAINTENANCE - NON PAVEMENT (202-3003 and 203-3010)
The Street Maintenance – Non Pavement program accounts for activities related to
maintenance of the City’s roadsides, City rights of way, roadways, medians, trees, sidewalks,
street sweeping, street signs, as well as electrical and water utility service for these facilities.
Specific maintenance activities include the coordination of:
• Contract services for roadside maintenance activities, including litter removal, sign repair
and installation, clean up of illegal dumping, vegetation removal, and fence and guardrail
repair;
• Contract services for roadway maintenance activities, including temporary pavement
patching of street surfaces and temporary sidewalk repairs and maintenance;
• Ten (10) miles of median and parkway maintenance;
• The annual Citywide Street Tree Maintenance program for 8,000 trees;
• The annual Sidewalk Repair Program to repair sidewalks on a five-year cycle, which
includes the installation of access ramps, root barriers and new curbs and gutters;
• The street sweeping contract with sweeping activity on 270 curb miles;
• The Street Sign Program to replace aging street signs.
Street Maintenance – Non Pavement activities are partially funded with 1972 Act assessments.
In 1992, the City Council approved the establishment of a Landscaping and Lighting District as
allowed in the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972. Assessments to individual property owners
155
remain constant each year. Assessment revenue to the City fluctuates depending upon
delinquency rates and new construction within the district.
SEWER MAINTENANCE (101-3026)
The City owns the sewer system within the City’s boundaries; however, Los Angeles County
provides maintenance and emergency repairs. This General fund program was newly
established for FY07-08, as a result of the City’s desire to contribute to a more proactive
approach to maintenance of the City’s sewer system. The program accounts for the cost of
updating the Sewer System Master Plan, industrial waste monitoring, pipe filming, and
investigating and cleaning sewer pipes. Not only does this work enable the City to propose
capital improvement projects to the County, and perform small crack repairs discovered during
pipe filming, any roots or obstructions discovered during the video inspections are removed
which minimizes the opportunity for overflows.
SPECIAL DISTRICT MAINTENANCE
El Prado Lighting fund (209-3019)
In 1982, the El Prado Recreation and Parks District was reorganized as a subsidiary district of
the City. The City provides services for the maintenance and operation of two ground-level
spotlights and two overhead lights at the entrance to the El Prado neighborhood. A portion of
the homeowners' 1% property tax assessment (approximately $700) is remitted to the City to
fund these expenditures.
Subregion 1 Maintenance fund (223-3023)
As part of the development of Sub-region 1 (Ocean Front Estates), the developer, Capital
Pacific Holdings (CPH), agreed to provide a deposit in the amount of $750,000 for the
maintenance of 71 acres of parkland that was to be dedicated to the City. This maintenance
fund was established in FY01-02 and interest revenue generated from the endowment is used
to fund the maintenance of the natural open space, landscaping, trails, and a slant drain pipe.
General funds are used to subsidize some of these maintenance costs.
STREET LIGHTING (211-3011)
In February 1995, the City Council authorized the transfer of a citywide street lighting
maintenance district from Los Angeles County to the City. Funds generated from an existing
1911 Act District established by Los Angeles County now accrue to the City for street lighting
maintenance costs. The 1911 Act funds are restricted and may only be used for activities
related to the lighting district.
As in past years, the City will annually receive a portion of revenue from the County that is
generated by the 1% base property tax. The FY11-12 revenue estimate is $440,000. The
assessment for each property is calculated based on benefit received.
156
BEAUTIFICATION (212-3012)
The City has conducted a single-family curbside recycling program since 1989, and a multi-
family program since 1991. In February 1996, the City expanded its curbside recycling program
to add mixed paper, corrugated cardboard and used motor oil, in addition to the existing
newspaper and commingled container recycling. The City also expects to continue receiving
100% of the California Redemption Value (CRV) of beverage containers picked up at curbside.
This Beautification account was created to administer the use of these funds.
The use of recycling funds includes the beautification grants and median improvements. The
beautification grant program makes funds available to homeowners associations and
community groups for activities that beautify areas visible from public right-of-ways. Recycling
funds are also used for citywide median beautification projects, which are budgeted under the
Street Improvements Fund.
WASTE REDUCTION (213-3013)
This program provides for the implementation of the City's Source Reduction and Recycling
Element (SRRE) of the City's General Plan. The SRRE was approved in 1990 in response to
legislation known as Assembly Bill (AB) 939, the Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989.
AB 939 requires every California City to reduce its waste stream 25% by 1995 and 50% by the
year 2000. In 2002 the City joined the Los Angeles Regional Agency (LARA) for AB 939
implementation. LARA’s diversion rate exceeds 55%.
The City receives AB 939 fees from its commercial and residential waste haulers. thatfund the
Source Reduction and Recycling Element program implementation activities. In addition, the
City receives Used Oil Payment Program grants, Department of Conservation (DOC) Beverage
and Container Recycling Block Grants and, when eligible, Rubberized Asphalt Concrete (RAC)
and multi-family Recycling grants.
The City's various reuse, reduce and recycling programs include, but are not limited to:
157
• Residential green waste (including Christmas trees) and co-mingled recycling, backyard
composting programs and recycling of used motor oil and filters;
• Re-using of inert material such as concrete and asphalt as base material for road
reconstruction projects, and/or using rubberized asphalt concrete (recycled tire material)
for arterial rehabilitation projects;
• Purchasing park play equipment, park benches and picnic tables, trash and recycling
containers, office furniture and paper made from recycled content material;
• Hosting an annual electronics recycling and household hazardous waste roundup;
• Recycling and reusing tree trimmings as mulch on medians, trails and City parks;
• Encouraging school recycling by offering financial incentives to participating schools and
promoting recycling assemblies;
• Encouraging commercial recycling by offering commercial haulers a financial incentive
for recycling (reduced AB 939 fees);
• Recycler of the Month program where two cards are drawn at every City Council
meeting from a pool of residents who participate in the curbside recycling program, and
$250 cash awards are presented to each winning resident
• Used motor oil and filter collection at curbside;
• Servicing recycling containers at City parks; and
• Public outreach programs, including print advertisements, billing inserts, press releases,
City website, City list server, and public service announcements (PSA), and Channel 33
RPVTV PSA’s; and
• Bi-annual Citywide rush Clearing Events
TRANSIT
Air Quality Management District (AQMD) (214-3014)
This program is funded by restricted funds authorized under Assembly Bill (AB) 2766, which
provided for a motor vehicle registration fee assessment to support transportation/air quality
related activities of local government and air pollution control districts. The funds are part of the
annual local return program administered by the South Coast Air Quality Management District
and are distributed to cities on a population pro rata basis. These funds are restricted to uses
that contribute to the reduction of air pollution within the south coast air basin. Beginning in
FY95-96, these funds have been used to supplement funding for the Palos Verdes Peninsula
Transit Authority, augmenting Proposition A funds that are also used to support this program. In
addition, AQMD funds may be used to purchase clean-air vehicles for the City’s fleet of
vehicles.
Transit (Proposition A) (216-3016)
Proposition A funds come from a 1/2 cent sales tax and are distributed annually to cities on a
per capita basis. These funds are restricted and may only be used for transit services, bus stop
improvements, bus pullouts and pads, as well as bus stop maintenance. The allocation varies
each year based on the actual amount of sales tax received in Los Angeles County. Rancho
Palos Verdes utilizes these funds to participate in the Palos Verdes Peninsula Transit
Authority/Dial-a-Ride programs, install bus stop pads, and for bus stop shelter maintenance and
improvements.
158
The Palos Verdes Peninsula Transit Authority (PVPTA) operates a fixed route shuttle service on
seven routes on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Service operates between residential
neighborhoods, schools, and commercial areas. In addition to funding from local jurisdictions,
PVPTA has received a subsidy from the County of Los Angeles for the past twelve years.
ABALONE COVE SEWER MAINTENANCE (225-3025)
The Abalone Cove sewer system is one of several landslide mitigation projects recommended
by a panel of experts who served the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) of the City until 1996.
Funding for the sewer project was derived from the proceeds received from the $10 million of
bonds issued to the RDA. The bonds were issued by the County as required by the 1987
Reimbursement Settlement Agreement (Horan Agreement) entered into by the City, the RDA,
certain residents of the RDA project area and the County. The Abalone Cove Sewer System
was completed in 2002. This agreement expressly prohibits the use of RDA and Improvement
Authority funds to maintain the sewer system.
To provide funding for the operation and maintenance of the system, the City Council
established the Abalone Cove Sewer Maintenance Fee for users of the system during FY 01-
02. The City Council annually conducts a public hearing, at which time, current and projected
year’s costs are reviewed and rates are set for the ensuing fiscal year. Fees paid by users of
the system depend upon the amount of sewer discharge generated by the user, as well as
what elements of the system serve the user.
When the Abalone Cove Sewer Service Maintenance Fee was established, the City Council
agreed to subsidize sewer operations in an effort to reduce fees to property owners and to
help bring uniformity of fees. The City has subsidized district maintenance during each year of
its operation, with a yearly general fund transfer, however, Council has asked staff to reduce
the subsidy to zero in the near future.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) (310-309X)
Since 1986, the City of Rancho Palos Verdes has been receiving funds annually from the Los
Angeles Urban County’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, which
receives its allocation from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Participating cities receive funding based upon the total number of cities participating in the
County’s program, and a city’s commitment to provide housing, economic and community
development opportunities which principally benefit persons of low and moderate income levels
and/or aid in the prevention of blighted conditions. The funds are allocated to the City on a per
capita basis. These funds are used for a variety of projects and activities, including the Home
Improvement Program for low and moderate-income homeowners, Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA) accessibility projects, and CDBG program administration.
RDA - PORTUGUESE BEND (375-307X)
The Redevelopment Agency was established in 1984, as a separate governmental entity with
the responsibility to install and construct mitigation measures to stabilize landslides in the
Abalone Cove and Portuguese Bend areas of the City. Projects approved during FY2010-2011
included two emergency projects. The roadside stabilization project installed an earthen
159
buttress adjacent to the shoulder of the roadway, south of Palos Verdes Drive South and east of
the Archery Club. The drainage grading project will re-grade a path in the same area to re-
install drainage facilities south of the roadway. RDA – Portuguese Bend program expenditures
within the current budget are limited to administrative activities.
IMPROVEMENT AUTHORITY - PORTUGUESE BEND (285-3088)
A separate Joint Powers Improvement Authority was created in 1990 to maintain landslide
abatement improvements installed and constructed by the RDA. Separate funds have been
established to record the maintenance activities associated with the Abalone Cove and
Portuguese Bend areas of the RDA. Funding for maintenance expenditures associated with the
Portuguese Bend landslide area is provided via an annual operating transfer from the City’s
General fund.
IMPROVEMENT AUTHORITY - ABALONE COVE (795-3089)
A separate Joint Powers Improvement Authority was created in 1990 to maintain landslide
abatement improvements installed and constructed by the RDA. Separate funds have been
established to record the maintenance activities associated with the Abalone Cove and
Portuguese Bend areas of the RDA. Funding for maintenance expenditures associated with the
Abalone Cove landslide area is provided via investment interest earnings on a non-expendable
$1 million deposit received as part of a 1991 settlement agreement with the County of Los
Angeles.
INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS
The Public Works department is also responsible for administering Infrastructure Improvements
programs, formerly referred to as Capital Improvements. Program narratives, budget details,
and justifications are included within the “Infrastructure Improvements” tab immediately following
the “Public Works” tab in this budget document.
PUBLIC WORKS PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Maintenance Program
A large part of the Public Works Department’s activity is focused on responding to requests for
service from residents. The department strives to resolve requests promptly and efficiently, with
the goal of addressing 80% of all service requests within two weeks. Based on the data
collected using this software during the last three fiscal years, the percentage of service
requests that were addressed within two weeks are as follows:
FY01-02 60%
FY02-03 70%
FY03-04 82%
FY04-05 79%
FY05-06 88%
FY06-07 91%
160
FY07-08 91%
FY08-09 96%
FY09-10 94%
Recycling Program
The City is mandated to reduce its waste stream in accordance with state law (AB939). Cities
throughout California are required to achieve a diversion rate of 50% by the year 2000. Rancho
Palos Verdes has used a variety of programs to promote and increase recycling among
residents in order to meet this requirement. The City joined the Los Angeles Regional Agency
(LARA) for AB939 purposes in 2002. LARA’s diversion rate includes all member cities’
diversions, including RPV. Therefore, the success of the City’s recycling programs is reflected
in the City’s approved solid waste diversion rates over the past several years:
1995 28 %
2000 47%
2005 59%*
2006 55%*
2007 56%*
2008 56%*
2009 60%*
2010 TBD**
* LARA’s diversions **This diversion rate has been submitted, but has yet to be verified.
Roadway Maintenance Program
The City invests considerable resources to maintain the high quality of its roadways. A
Pavement Management Report is updated every three years to determine the condition of the
City’s roadways by calculating a pavement rating. The pavement rating is a number between 0
and 100 that measures the quality of pavement. A new roadway has a pavement rating of 100.
The average pavement rating for the City’s roadways for the past thirteen years are:
1995 75
1996 78
1997 80
1998 82
1999 88
2000 88

Street Sweeping Program
The City invests considerable resources on programs to reduce the amount of trash that enters
the City’s canyons, waterways, and the Pacific Ocean. The City’s Street Sweeping Program is
161
just one example. In FY01-02, the City began monitoring the amount of trash being picked up
by the street sweeping program as a performance measurement for reducing the amount of
trash that enters our surface water systems:
FY01-02 25 tons/month
FY02-03 21 tons/month
FY03-04 66 tons/month
FY04-05 63 tons/month
FY05-06 63 tons/month
FY06-07 63 tons/month
FY07-08 63 tons/month
FY08-09 64 tons/month
FY09-10 63 tons/month
Traffic Enforcement
The Public Works Department works closely with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department
on traffic safety matters. Beginning in 2002, the City began monitoring and reporting the
monthly average number of traffic collisions, how many of those were injury collisions, and
comparing the number of injury collisions to the number of hazardous citations issued by the
Sheriff. Through the regional law enforcement contract, Rancho Palos Verdes has been served
by two traffic enforcement deputies (one patrol car and one motorcycle). In order to address
increased concern about speeding and unsafe driving practices, the City hired a dedicated
traffic enforcement deputy in December 2005 to work primarily during the evening hours and on
weekends. Further, a third regional traffic deputy was added to the contract in September 2006.

Sidewalk Repair Program: Sidewalks are repaired and replaced
throughout the City on a five-year cycle. In addition to repairing

which provides a more efficient and less expensive alternative to
repairing sidewalks that do not need to be replaced. Adjacent
property owners reimburse the City for a portion of the expense to
repair and replace sidewalks. Increased rainfall over the past year
has caused more rapid root growth, creating more sidewalk safety
issues that will be addressed in FY 11-12. (FY11-12 $140,000)

INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS
The Public Works Department manages improvements to the City’s
infrastructure. The costs of infrastructure improvements are expended in the
following enterprise, internal service and capital projects funds: the Water Quality
and Flood Protection fund, the Building Replacement fund, the Environmental
Excise Tax (EET) fund, the Quimby fund, the Proposition C fund, and the Capital
Improvement Projects (CIP) fund.
Water Quality and Flood Protection Fund
The City’s Storm Drains require improvements to maintain adequate operations
and avoid the pitfalls associated with aging infrastructure. Properly operating
storm drains help prevent erosion, flooding, landslides, mudslides and polluted
waters. Established in FY04-05, the Water Quality and Flood Protection
Program collects voter approved storm drain user fees to repair and replace
storm drains and improve water quality throughout the City.
Building Replacement Fund
Expenditures in this fund are limited to improvement projects that extend the life
or substantially improve City-owned buildings.
Environmental Excise Tax Fund
This fund will provide for Civic Center planning studies and Hesse Park
improvements.
Quimby Fund
Currently, there are no planned uses for this fund.
217
Proposition C Fund
The Proposition C fund contributes funding to annual Arterial pavement
rehabilitation projects. The majority of Proposition C funding is transferred to the
CIP fund for Street Improvements.
Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) Fund
Activities within this fund include:
• Infrastructure Improvements Administration (330-3030) ;
• Street Improvements (330-3031);
• Storm Drain Improvements (330-3032);
• Parks, Trails & Open Space Improvements (330-3033);
• Sewer Improvements (330-3035); and
• Building Improvements (330-3036).
Maintenance activities are not included within this function and are presented in
other budgetary programs within the Public Works section of this budget
document. A variety of funding sources support capital improvement projects
and include federal, state, and local grant monies, Proposition C and Proposition
A funds, Recycling monies, developer fees, and General fund contributions.

1. Hesse Park Drop Ceiling Retrofit/Replacement - The ceiling is
deteriorating and continued maintenance is not cost effective. As
Hesse Park is the backup site for the Emergency Operations
Center, the new ceiling will improve access for maintenance and
be seismically retrofitted. As this project extends the life of the
building, it will be funded by the Building Replacement Fund.
(FY11-12 $145,000)
2. City Hall Community Room Drop Ceiling Retrofit/Replacement,
funded by the General Fund. (FY11-12 $15,000)
4. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan – Based
on the 2011 ADA Compliance Assessment, Citywide facility
Improvements to comply with ADA requirements have a
preliminary cost estimate of $6.7 million. This does not include
City Hall or the Ladera Linda Community Center, as future
improvements to those facilities are expected to be fully
accessible. Improvements will be constructed in phases to
address the highest priority needs as determined by Department
of Justice guidelines. Initial projects will address access to City
facilities starting with the removal of safety hazards and barriers.
This effort will be funded by the CIP Reserve for Future Projects.

EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT
The City's Equipment Replacement Fund was established in 1990 and is designed to
collect the costs of operating, maintaining and replacing vehicles, computer equipment,
and other equipment. The fund allows for the gradual accumulation of monies for
equipment replacement, rather than a spiking of expense in the year equipment is
replaced.
EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT – COMPUTER EQUIPMENT (681-2082)
The Computer Equipment program accounts for the cost of maintaining, purchasing, and
amortizing the City’s computer equipment and systems, including desktop computers,
network server, printers, and software. Revenues within this program represent the
combined total of each department's share of these costs.
EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT – VEHICLES (681-3081)
The Vehicles program accounts for the cost of maintaining, purchasing, and amortizing
the City’s fleet of vehicles. Revenues within this program represent the combined total
of each department's share of these costs.
EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT – FURNITURE & EQUIPMENT (681-6083)
The Furniture and Equipment program accounts for the cost of maintaining, purchasing,
and amortizing the City’s equipment, including photocopiers, other office equipment,
audio/visual equipment, telecommunications equipment, and emergency generators.
Revenues within this program represent the combined total of each department's share
of these costs.
