INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT To The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council The City of Bell Gardens, California We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Bell Gardens, California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2012, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the accompanying table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the City of Bell Gardens’ management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted by the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in the Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Bell Gardens, California, as of June 30, 2012, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, and the respective budgetary comparison for the General Fund thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We would like to draw the reader’s attention to Note 15 – “Successor Agency Trust for Assets of Former Community Development Commission”. The note provides information on the dissolution of the Community Development Commission and the new formed Successor Agency. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated January 24, 2013, on our consideration of the City of Bell Gardens’ internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.
To The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council The City of Bell Gardens, California Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's discussion and analysis as listed in the table of contents be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s financial statements as a whole. The introductory section, combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements, schedules and statistical section, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole. The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.

CITY OF BELL GARDENS
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS As management of the City of Bell Gardens (the City), we offer readers of the City’s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City of Bell Gardens for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal and the City’s financial statements. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
� At June 30, 2012, the City’s net assets (excess of assets over liabilities) were $165.4 million (This includes $66.7 million in extraordinary gain reported in the government-wide financial statements of the governmental activities for the dissolution of the redevelopment agency). If we remove the extraordinary gain related to the redevelopment agency dissolution, the City’s net assets would be $98.7 million.
� During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the City’s total net assets increased by $64.3 million
of which $66.7 million is represented by the extraordinary gain on dissolution of the redevelopment agency. If we remove this extraordinary gain, the City’s total net assets would have decreased by $2.4 million for fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s basic financial statements, which are comprised of three components: 1) Government-Wide Financial Statements, 2) Fund Financial Statements, and 3) Notes to the Basic Financial Statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves. Government-Wide Financial Statements The Government-Wide Financial Statements present the financial picture of the City and provide readers with a broad view of the City’s finances. These statements present governmental activities and business type activities separately and include all assets of the City as well as all liabilities. The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities report information about the City as a whole and about its activities. These statements include all assets and liabilities of the City using the full accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the accounting used by most private-sector companies. All of the current year’s revenues and expenses are taken into account, regardless of when cash is received or paid. The Statement of Net Assets presents information on all of the City’s assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating. The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the City’s net assets changed during the year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event occurs, regardless of timing of related cash flows. In the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities, we separate the City activities as follows: Governmental Activities Most of the City’s basic services are reported in this category, including general government, public safety, public works, community development, and recreation. Property, business, hotel and sales taxes, club card fees, interest income, and state and federal grants finance these activities.
3
Business-Type Activities The City charges a fee to customers to cover all or most of the costs of certain services it provides. The City’s water utility and golf course operations are reported as business-type activities. The government-wide financial statements include not only the City itself (known as the primary government), but also two legally separate entities, the Bell Gardens Community Development Commission and the Bell Gardens Financing Authority. The City is financially accountable for these entities and financial information for these blended component units are reported within the financial information presented for the primary government itself. Fund Financial Statements The fund financial statements provide detailed information about the City’s most significant funds – not the City as a whole. Some funds are required to be established by State law and bond covenants. However, management establishes many other funds to help it control and manage money for particular purposes or to show that it is meeting legal responsibilities for using certain taxes, grants, and other funding sources. The fund financial statements include statements for each of the three categories of activities – governmental, proprietary and fiduciary. The governmental activities are prepared using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. The business-type activities are prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and the full accrual basis of accounting. The fiduciary activities are agency funds, which only report assets and liabilities and do not have a measurement focus. Governmental Funds—The Governmental Funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the Government-Wide Financial Statements. However, unlike the Government-Wide Financial Statements, Governmental Funds Financial Statements focus on current financial resources, which emphasize near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources as well as balances of spendable resources at the end of the fiscal year. This information is essential in evaluating the City’s near-term financial requirements. To better understand the City’s long-term and short-term requirements, it is useful to compare the City’s Governmental Fund Statements with the governmental activities in the Government-Wide Financial Statements. A reconciliation of the statements is provided for both the governmental fund balance sheet and the statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances to facilitate this comparison. The City of Bell Gardens maintains 29 governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General Fund, and the Low and Moderate Housing fund which are reported as major funds. Data from the other 27 governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregate presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements in the Supplementary Information section of this report. The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General fund. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for the General fund to demonstrate its compliance with this budget. Proprietary Funds—The City maintains only one type of proprietary fund, the enterprise fund for its water utility and golf course operations. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in government-wide financial statements. Fiduciary Funds-As a result of the dissolution of the redevelopment agency, the city maintains a fiduciary fund, which consists of a private purpose trust fund used to account for the assets and liabilities of the former community development commission and the allocated revenue to pay estimated installment payments of enforceable obligations until the obligations of the former community development commission are paid in full and assets have been liquidated.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with the non-major governmental funds and enterprise funds are presented immediately following the required supplementary information. GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS Statement of Net Assets At June 30, 2012, the City’s net assets (excess of assets over liabilities) were $165.4 million (This includes $66.7 million in extraordinary gain reported in the government-wide financial statements of the City for the dissolution of the redevelopment agency). If we remove the extraordinary gain related to the redevelopment agency dissolution, the City’s net assets would be $98.7 million. The following is the condensed Statement of Net Assets for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.
Approximately $119 million (72%) of the City’s net assets consist of the City’s investment in capital assets such as land, buildings, machinery and equipment, less any related debt to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. These assets are used to provide services to the citizens of the City of Bell Gardens; therefore, they are not available for future spending. Although the City’s investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

Governmental Activities The City’s net assets from governmental activities totaled $160.6 million. The cost of all governmental activities this year was $38.3 million. Overall, the City’s governmental program revenues were $9.4 million. The City paid for the remaining “public benefit” portion of governmental activities with $26.6 million in taxes (some of which could only be used for certain programs) and with other revenues, such as interest earnings and general entitlements. Revenue highlights:
� General Revenues increased by $68.7 million from the prior year, the majority of this relates to $66.6 million recognized as an Extraordinary gain on the dissolution of the redevelopment agency in the current fiscal year and an increase in operating contributions and grants of $3.2 million from the prior year. The increase in operating contributions and grants in the current year primarily relates to $2.7 million of deferred revenue being recognized for the Terra Bella construction project and the First-Time home buyers program recording $943k of deferred revenue in the current fiscal year.
� Card Club casino revenue decreased by $300k from the prior year; this follows the overall down-turn in the economy.
� Property taxes levied for general purpose decreased $1.9 million. This decrease is due to the dissolution of redevelopment agencies as the redevelopment agency is no longer included with governmental activities.
Expense highlights:
� Expenses remained consistent with prior year with an overall decrease of $100K. The individual departments maintained or slightly increased expenses compared to prior year through various cost minimizing/savings plans including; freezing positions, furlough days and employees being required to contribute a portion to their PERS retirement plans.
Business Type Activities
The City’s business-type activities net assets increased by $600k. Key elements of this increase are as follows: Revenue Highlights:
� Transfers to the Water Utility fund and the Golf Course fund increased by $525k compared to
prior year. � Total program revenue in the business-type activities increased by $39k. � Charges for services at the Golf Course increased by $7k from prior year, primarily due to
increases in golf league related revenue and general golf course revenue. � Charges for services related to the Water Utility fund increased by $12k from prior year, mainly
due to increases in lease of water rights revenue and water sales revenue. � Use of money and property revenue increased by $20k from prior year, mostly due to increases
in Water Utility fund interest on cash with fiscal agent and an increase in golf course rent & concessions.
Expense Highlights:
� Total expenses in the business-type activities decreased by $163k. This was made up of the Water Utility fund expense decreasing by $188k and the Golf Course fund expense increasing by $25k.
7
� The primary decreases in the Water Utility fund expenses in comparison to prior year were related to decreases of $121k in Contractual Services, and $59k in the purchase of water.
� The key increase in expenses at the Golf Course was an increase of $26k in personnel services when compared to prior year.
FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS
The City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. Governmental Funds The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on short-term inflows, outflows and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financing requirements. As of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balance of $41.88 million, an increase of $40.33 million compared to the prior year balance of $1.54 million. This increase was primarily due to the dissolution of the Bell Gardens Redevelopment Agency effective February 1, 2012, pursuant to AB X1 26. As a result of the dissolution, the City recorded the $50.97 million dollar advance given to the former redevelopment agency as an asset in the current year and removed the corresponding liability of the same amount in the current year. Proprietary Funds The City’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. Factors concerning these funds have already been addressed in the discussion of Government-wide Financial Analysis of business-type activities. GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS The original adopted General fund budget for this fiscal year was $24.06 million and the final amended budget was $24.27 million. Budget amendments totaled less than 1% of the original budget. CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION Capital Assets The City of Bell Gardens has $116.1 million invested in net capital assets, as compared to $116.7 million in the prior year. Net decrease in the capital assets is approximately $0.6 million.

Capital Assets at Year-End
(Net of Depreciation)For the Year Ended June 30
The decrease was primarily due to the increase in accumulated depreciation of fixed assets for fiscal year 2011-12. For more detailed information, see note 6 to the financial statements.
Long-term Debt At year-end, the City had $23.7 million in long-term debts including other post-employment benefits obligation, certificates of participations and compensated absences, as compared to $48.5 million in prior year, a net decrease of $24.8 million during the fiscal year. The majority of this decrease relates to $26.1 million in indebtedness of the former Community Development Commission that was transferred to the Successor Agency.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGETS The City of Bell Gardens’ finances are dependent on the local, national and international economies. Even though over 42% of the City’s revenues is received from one local source, the widespread effect of a negative downturn in the economies will have an effect on the City’s finances. The fourth quarter forecast of 2012 completed by the UCLA Anderson School of Management, provided an outlook for the United States saying that Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will grow at less than a 2% annual rate through mid-2013. After that the forecast expects growth to pick up and exceed 3% for most of 2014 with housing activity leading the way. The forecast for California is in line with the national forecast, but with the passage of Proposition 30, there is some risk and potential for impact on the forecast for 2013 and 2014. In addition to the unstable economy, the State has continued to take local governments’ revenue to address their budget crisis. In June 2011, the Governor signed into law AB X1 26 to eliminate all redevelopment agencies. As of February 1, 2012 all redevelopment agencies were eliminated, the potential effect of the revenue loss as a result of this is still ongoing but at a minimum the City’s ability to address blight and revitalize the community has suffered. Although the outlook is not overwhelmingly positive, one item of note that is positive was in the case of the City of Alhambra vs. County of Los Angeles, Case No. S185457, the California Supreme Court ruled on November 19, 2012 that the County of Los Angeles has been overcharging its property tax administration fees (PTAF) to cities relating to the Vehicle License Fee (VLP) swap and “Triple Flip”. There is potential for the City to receive a settlement from L.A. County for approximately $303,000 for PTAF withheld in Fiscal Years 07-08 to 11-12 and possibly more funds for PTAF withheld in FY 06-07 and the 7 % interest. The parties must either settle or resolve their disagreement relative to the statute of limitations. The Operating Budget for fiscal year 2012-13 reflects the City’s commitment to foster steady, controlled growth and provide the highest level of service to the community within the City’s financial constraint and is consistent with the City Council’s goals and objectives. Questions or requests for information regarding the City of Bell Gardens’ 2012-13 budget should be sent to the Finance Department at the address below.

CITY OF BELL GARDENS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2012
I. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a. Description of the Reporting Entity This report includes all fund types of the City of Bell Gardens (the "primary government"), as well as the Bell Gardens Community Development Commission (the Commission) and the Bell Gardens Financing Authority (the Authority). These latter two entities meet the definition of a "component unit", and are presented on a "blended" basis, as if they were part of the primary government. Although the Commission and the Authority are legally separate entities, the governing boards of these entities are comprised of the same membership as the City Council. The City may impose its will on these component units, including the ability to appoint, hire, reassign or dismiss management. There is also a financial benefit/burden relationship between the City and these entities. The City of Bell Gardens, California (City) was incorporated on August 1, 1961. The City operates under a Council-Manager form of government and provides the following services: general government, public safety, public works, recreation and community development. The Bell Gardens Redevelopment Agency (Agency) was established on July 10, 1972, pursuant to the State of California Health and Safety Code Section 33000, entitled "Community Redevelopment Law". On May 27, 1997, the City expanded the Agency to a Community Development Commission (Commission) pursuant to the State of California Health and Safety Code, Section 34100, to include housing activities. The primary purpose of the Commission is to eliminate blighted areas by encouraging development of residential, commercial, industrial, recreational and public facilities and to provide safe and sanitary dwelling accommodations in the City, available to persons of low income. The Community Development Commission was dissolved as of January 31, 2012, through the Supreme Court decision on Assembly Bill 1X 26. See Note 14 for more information on the dissolution. The Bell Gardens Financing Authority (Authority) was created on November 28, 1988, under a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement by and between the City of Bell Gardens and the Bell Gardens Community Development Commission. The Authority was established pursuant to the laws of the State of California with authority to acquire the Commission's bonds as provided in Section 6588 of the Government Code of the State of California. The Commission has determined that "significant public benefits" will be derived by the Commission in undertaking the issuance of the bonds and their sale to the Authority and resale to the underwriter, in furtherance of the corporate purposes of the Commission. Separate financial statements are not prepared for the Commission and the Authority.

CITY OF BELL GARDENS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2012 Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
b. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement of activities) report information on all of activities of the primary government. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements, and eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting of internal activities. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds and the major individual enterprise fund are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
c. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation The government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when the liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal year. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences, claims and judgments are not recognized until paid. The City’s fiduciary funds consist of a private purpose trust fund which is reported using the “economic resources” measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred.
26
CITY OF BELL GARDENS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2012 Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Property taxes, charges for services, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the government. The City reports the following major governmental funds:
� The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. All general tax revenues
and other receipts that are not allocated by law or contractual agreement to some other fund are accounted for in this fund. General operating expenditures not paid through other funds are paid from the General Fund.
� The Low and Moderate Housing Fund was established to account for the assets of the former Community Development Commission’s Low and Moderate Housing Fund.
The City reports the following major proprietary fund:
� The Water Enterprise Fund accounts for the financial activity of the City's water utility.
The costs of providing these services to the general public are financed or recovered primarily through user charges.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
� Special Revenue Funds – These funds account for proceeds of specific revenue
sources that are legally restricted or otherwise assigned for specific purposes.
� Capital Projects Funds – These funds account for the financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities.
� The private-purpose trust fund is used to account for the assets and liabilities of the
former community development commission and the allocated revenue to pay estimated installment payments of enforceable obligations until the obligations of the former community development commission are paid in full and assets have been liquidated.
Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989, generally are followed in both the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. Governments also have the option of following subsequent private-sector guidance for their business-type activities and enterprise funds, subject to this same limitation. The City has elected not to follow subsequent private-sector guidance.
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are payments in lieu of taxes and other charges between the government's water function and various other functions of the government. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
27
CITY OF BELL GARDENS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2012 Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to members, customers or applicants for goods, services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the Water Enterprise Fund are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for the enterprise fund includes the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non operating revenues and expenses. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City's policy to use restricted resources first, then use unrestricted resources as needed.
d. Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets or Equity
1. Cash and Investments
Investments are reported in the accompanying statement of net assets at fair market value. Changes in fair market value that occur during a fiscal year are recognized as investment income reported for that fiscal year. Investment income includes interest earnings, changes in fair market value, and any gains or losses realized upon the liquidation, maturity, or sale of investments.
The City pools cash and investments of all funds, except for assets held by bond trustees and fiscal agents. Each fund's share in this pool is displayed in the accompanying financial statements as cash and investments. Investment income, earned by the pooled investments, is allocated to the various funds based on each fund's average cash and investment balance. For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the City considers all highly liquid investments (including restricted assets) with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash invested in the City's cash management pool is also considered to be cash equivalents.
2. Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either "due to/from other funds" (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or "advances to/from other funds" (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as "due to/from other funds." Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as "internal balances."
28
CITY OF BELL GARDENS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2012 Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Advances, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a nonspendable fund balance account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources.
All trade and property tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibles. Under California law, property taxes are assessed and collected by the counties at 1% of assessed value plus other increases approved by the voters. Property taxes collected go into a pool and are then allocated to the cities based on a predetermined formula. The City of Bell Gardens accrues only those taxes which are received from the County of Los Angeles within 60 days after year-end.
Lien date: January 1Levy date: June 30Due dates: November 1, February 1Delinquent dates: December 11, April 11
3. Inventories and Prepaid Items
Inventories of materials and supplies (if material) are carried at cost on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. The City uses the consumption method of accounting for inventories. Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements.
4. Restricted Assets
Restricted assets represent unexpended bond proceeds, interest earnings thereon and reserve amounts of certificates of participation and tax allocation bonds. Under the related resolutions and indentures, the remaining proceeds are restricted for the use of future construction of improvements to the respective projects, for debt service or for reserve requirements. The majority of these assets are held by trustees and fiscal agents.
5. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, intangible assets and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated assets are valued at the fair value of the assets on the date on which they were contributed. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized. The City utilizes a capitalization threshold of $5,000-$10,000 depending on asset type.
29
CITY OF BELL GARDENS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2012 Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Depreciation is charged to operations using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Buildings and improvements 20-40 yearsEquipment 3-15 yearsInfrastructure 20-50 yearsWater rights 100 years
6. Compensated Absences
The cost of earned but unused vacation and sick leave, for which the City has a future obligation to pay, is recognized in the government-wide financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they become due and payable as a result of employee resignations or retirements. Typically, the City liquidates its compensated absences with general fund resources.
7. Long-term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net assets. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight line method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and amortized over the term of the related debt. In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
8. Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report the following fund balance classification:
Nonspendable - include amounts that cannot be spent because they are either
(a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
Restricted - include amounts that are constrained on the use of resources by
either (a) external creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws of regulations of other governments or (b) by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
30
CITY OF BELL GARDENS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2012 Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Committed – the City Council, as the City’s highest level of decision-making authority, may commit fund balance for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal actions taken, such as an ordinance or resolution. These committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the City Council removes or changes the specified use through the same type of formal action taken to establish the commitment. City Council action to commit fund balance needs to occur within the fiscal reporting period; however, the amount can be determined subsequently. Assigned – include amounts that are constrained by the government’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. Pursuant to the City’s fund balance policy established by the City Council by resolution, it has delegated the authority to assign fund balance amounts to the City Manager or his/her designee for intended specific purposes.
Unassigned - include the residual amounts that have not been restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purposes.
The City Council, as the City's highest level of decision-making authority, may commit fund balance for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal actions taken, such as adoption of an ordinance or resolution. These committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the City Council removes or changes the specified use through the same type of formal action taken to establish the commitment. City Council action to commit fund balance needs to occur within the fiscal reporting period; however the amount can be determined subsequently. In July 2008, through Resolution 2008-17, the City Council adopted a fund balance reserve policy. The policy consists of establishing an economic contingency reserve by placing liquid cash in a financial institution in compliance with the investment policy in the amount of $1,000,000 commencing July 1, 2008 and adding $200,000 to the established reserve fund each fiscal year thereafter. The City Council’s goal is to achieve a minimum of 10% of the annual General Fund appropriations as committed fund balance in the General Fund. The accounting policies of the City consider restricted fund balance to have been spent first when expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available. Similarly, when expenditure is incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of the unrestricted classifications of fund balance could be used, the City considers committed amounts to be reduced first, followed by assigned amounts and then unassigned amounts.

II. STEWARDSHIP
Note 2: Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability
a. General Budget Policies
The City's budget is prepared under the direction of the City Manager. Revenues are budgeted based on source. Expenditures are budgeted by functions, with sub classifications by department and object of expenditures. The City Council approves each year's budget submitted by the City Manager prior to the beginning of the new fiscal year. It includes proposed expenditures and estimated revenues and is legally adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. Public hearings are conducted prior to its adoption by Council. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between departments and object categories, and also between programs. Council approval is required only for transfers of budgeted amounts between funds, or for an increase in total appropriations. Supplemental appropriations, where required during the period are also approved by the Council. Budgeted expenditures are controlled at the fund level. During the year, several supplemental appropriations were necessary. At fiscal year-end, all operating budget appropriations lapse. For fiscal year 2011-2012, the following funds had no legally adopted budget: Low and Moderate Housing Recreation
CLEEP Grant Separated Employee Benefits
OJJDP Boxing COPS Tech
b. Fund Deficit At June 30, 2012, the following non-major funds had deficit fund balances:
Special Revenue Funds:
Community Development Block Grant (53,767)$ Capital Project Funds:
Capital Improvement Projects (262,715)
The fund deficits are expected to be eliminated with future revenues and transfers.

III. DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS
Note 3: Cash and Investments
As of June 30, 2012, cash and investments were reported in the accompanying financial statements as follows:
Governmental activities 11,187,114$ Business-type activities 436,682 Fiduciary funds 5,315,248
Total Cash and Investments 16,939,044$
The City of Bell Gardens maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use for all funds. Each fund type's position in the pool is reported on the combined balance sheet as cash and investments. The City has adopted an investment policy, which authorizes it to invest in various investments. Deposits
At June 30, 2012, the carrying amount of the City’s deposits was $8,777 and the bank balance was $331,997. The $323,220 difference represents outstanding checks and other reconciling items. The California Government Code requires California banks and savings and loan associations to secure a City’s deposits by pledging government securities with a value of 110% of a City’s deposits. California law also allows financial institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of a City's total deposits. The City Treasurer may waive the collateral requirement for deposits which are fully insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC. The collateral for deposits in federal and state chartered banks is held in safekeeping by an authorized Agent of Depository recognized by the State of California Department of Banking. The collateral for deposits with savings and loan associations is generally held in safekeeping by the Federal Home Loan Bank in San Francisco, California as an Agent of Depository. These securities are physically held in an undivided pool for all California public agency depositors. Under
33
CITY OF BELL GARDENS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2012 Note 3: Cash and Investments (Continued)
Government Code Section 53655, the placement of securities by a bank or savings and loan association with an "Agent of Depository" has the effect of perfecting the security interest in the name of the local governmental agency. Accordingly, all collateral held by California Agents of Depository are considered to be held for, and in the name of, the local governmental agency.
A provision of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act provides temporary unlimited deposit insurance coverage for noninterest-bearing transaction account at all FDIC-insured institutions. This provision was effective from December 31, 2010 and will remain effective until December 31, 2012. Noninterest-bearing transaction accounts is defined as an account (1) with respect to which interest is neither accrued nor paid; (2) on which the depositor or account holder is permitted to make withdrawals by negotiable or transferable instrument, payment orders of withdrawal, telephone or other electronic media transfers, or other similar items for the purpose of making payments or transfers to third parties or others; and (3) on which the FDIC-insured depository institutions does not reserve the right to require advance notice of an intended withdrawal. As of June 30, 2012, the City maintains cash deposits that are temporary covered by this provision.

Investments Authorized by Debt Agreements
The above investments do not address investment of debt proceeds held by a bond trustee. Investments of debt proceeds held by a bond trustee are governed by provisions of the debt agreements, rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code or the City’s investment policy.
Investment in State Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by the California Government Code under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The fair value of the City's investment in this pool is reported in the
34
CITY OF BELL GARDENS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2012 Note 3: Cash and Investments (Continued)
accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the City's pro-rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis.
Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The City's investment policy limits investments in medium term notes (MTN’s) to those rated "A" or higher by Standard and Poor's (S&P) or by Moody's. It also limits the investments in commercial paper to those rated "A1+" or higher by Standard and Poor's (S&P) or “P1” by Moody's. As of June 30, 2012, the City invested in treasury obligations. All securities were investment grade and were legal under State law. Investments in U.S. treasuries are not considered to have credit risk and, therefore, their credit quality is not disclosed. As of June 30, 2012, the City's investments in external investment pools and money market mutual funds are unrated. On August 5, 2011, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its long-term sovereign credit rating on the United States of America to AA+ from AAA. As a result, on August 8, 2011, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its issuer credit ratings and related issue ratings on various Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Farm Credit Bank, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to AA+ from AAA. The City invests in LAIF which invests in various underlying securities, including the federal agency securities listed above. While LAIF is not rated, the federal agency securities are, and these have been affected by this rating change as well.
Concentration of Credit Risk The City’s investment policy does not impose restrictions on the maximum percentage it can invest in a single type of investment. As of June 30, 2012, in accordance with GASB Statement No. 40 requirements, the City is exposed to concentration of credit risk whenever they have invested more than 5% of their total investments in any one issuer. As of June 30, 2012, the City was not exposed to concentration of credit risk.
Custodial Credit Risk The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. Custodial credit risk does not apply to a local government's indirect investment in securities through the use of mutual funds or government investment pools (such as LAIF). As of June 30, 2012, none of the City’s deposits or investments were exposed to custodial credit risk.
35
CITY OF BELL GARDENS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2012 Note 3: Cash and Investments (Continued)
Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. The City's investment policy limits investment maturities as a means of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates. The City's investment policy states that, with the exception of the investment of bond proceeds and LAIF, investments may not exceed five years in maturity. The City has elected to use the segmented time distribution method of disclosure for its interest rate risk. As of June 30, 2012, the City had the following investments and original maturities:
Investment Type
Local Agency Investment Fund 8,715,568$ Money Market Accounts 5,113,693 Cash with Fiscal Agents:

e. As of June 30, 2012, the City has $66,741 in settlements receivable. The City is
scheduled to receive $3,600 annually toward the receivable.
f. The Bell Gardens Community Development Commission is required by State law to set aside funds to create and preserve housing that is affordable to low and moderate income families and individuals. The City has decided to utilize these funds for a second mortgage and/or closing costs, as needed for low-to-moderate income first time homebuyers. The City has established a not-to-exceed cap of $33,000 per case on an as needed basis. The Bell Gardens First Time Home Buyer Program is a deferred equity share loan secured by a second deed of trust and note with an annual rate of 3%. The loan shall become due and payable only when the property is sold, leased or transferred. Repayment terms of principal, shared equity and interest at 3% per annum simple interest vary depending on the year sold or transferred. After the twentieth year, the loan is forgiven. The Commission's share of equity in the property shall not exceed the proportional investment as a percentage of the original purchase price. The balance of the First Time Home Buyer Program at June 30, 2012, is $943,036 which has also been recorded as deferred revenue. As a result of the dissolution of the Community Development Commission, the loan receivable was transferred to the City’s Low and Moderate Housing Fund.
g. On March 22, 2011, Terra Bella, LLP, a California limited partnership (the Borrower) and
the Bell Gardens Community Development Commission (the Commission) entered into an owner participation agreement to develop a senior affordable housing project consisting of 65 units. Pursuant to the agreement, the Commission has provided financial assistance in the amount of $2,600,000 for the partial acquisition, construction, operation and maintenance of the units plus $32,000 on preconstruction loans. The promissory note shall bear simple interest at a rate of 3% per annum which is recorded as deferred revenue. Payments shall be made annually in arrears on May 1. The entire unpaid principal balance, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, shall be due on the date which is 65 years from the date a certificate of occupancy is issued for the last residential unit in the project. The balance at June 30, 2012, including accrued interest of $59,220, is $2,691,220. As a result of the dissolution of the Community Development Commission, the loan receivable was transferred to the City’s Low and Moderate Housing Fund.
h. On April 1, 2005, Bell Gardens Housing Partners, L.P., a California limited partnership entered into a promissory note to pay the Bell Gardens Community Development Commission $3,812,203 for the payment of public and private debts. The Commission has provided certain financial assistance in construction of a 72-unit senior affordable housing project by providing a Commission Loan (which is represented by this Promissory Note) in the amount of $3,812,203 for the acquisition and clearing of the site and to help defray Developer's costs. The promissory note amount shall bear simple interest at the rate of 3% per annum, and 10% per annum and shall accrue upon the amount of each payment required upon the date each such payment is due. The Promissory Note shall be paid from “Residual Receipts”, defined as an amount equal to sixty-five percent (65%) of the net profits produced from the project (on a prorate basis), until the note amount has been repaid in full. Any remaining principal, interest and other amounts due and owing under this promissory note shall be paid in full on or before the fifty-fifth (55th) anniversary of the date of the promissory note.

Other Post Employment Benefits Obligation
The City’s policies relating to other post employment benefits are described in Note 9 of the Notes to Financial Statements. The liability will be paid in future years by the general fund.
CJPIA Retrospective Deposit Liability
Retrospective deposits are cost allocation adjustments to prior coverage periods. Some claims take many years to resolve and over time their estimated value changes. The retrospective adjustments are calculated annually and take into consideration all the changes in claim values that occurred during the most recent year. The formula is designed to adequately cover the cost of claims brought against members and to ensure the overall financial strength and security of the Authority. The formula was developed to be as equitable as possible by taking into consideration both risk exposure and claims experience of individual members. CJPIA has temporarily deferred the payment on retrospective deposits owed to the Authority by members. The payment deferral period extends until July 1, 2013 for the Liability program and July 1, 2015 for the Workers’ Compensation program. Retrospective deposit payments are scheduled to resume on these dates. The October 2011 annual retrospective adjustment is included in these balances. At June 30, 2012, the City has a retrospective deposit due of $962,462. Optional Payment Plans
When retrospective deposit payments resume as indicated above, members will have the opportunity to select from a variety of optional payment plans. Discounts under the incentive plan are available to members choosing to voluntarily accelerate payment during the deferral period. The City has chosen not to voluntarily accelerate payment at this time.
After the deferral period, members choosing from among the optional payment plans will be subject to a moderate annual fee. The fee is intended to provide a means for the Authority to recover otherwise foregone investment earnings and to serve as a minor disincentive for the selection of longer financing terms.
Retrospective Balances will Change Annually
Retrospective balances will change with each annual computation during the payment deferral period. Member balances may increase or decrease as a result of the most recent year’s claim development. Accordingly, some members who chose to pay off their balance in full may be required to pay additional retrospective deposits in the future based on the outcome of actual claim development reflected in subsequent retrospective deposit computations. Conversely, if claim development is favorable then subsequent retrospective adjustments could potentially result in refunds to the member.
More information on the CJPIA retrospective balances can be found on the CJPIA website at: http://www.cjpia.org.

For fiscal year 2011-2012, the City's contribution of $3,853,662 for PERS was equal to the City's required and actual contributions. The required contribution was determined as part of the June 30, 2009, actuarial valuation using the entry age normal actuarial cost method.
A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the annual required contribution is shown in the following table:
Valuation Date June 30, 2009Actuarial Cost Method Entry Age Actuarial Cost MethodAmortization Method Level Percent of PayrollAverage Remaining Period 19 Years as of the Valuation Date (Miscellaneous)
18 Years as of the Valuation Date (Safety)Asset Valuation Method 15 Year Smoothed MarketActuarial Assumptions
Investment Rate of Return 7.75% (net of administrative expenses)Projected Salary Increases 3.25% to 14.45% depending on age, service and type
of employmentInflation 3.00%Payroll Growth 3.25%Individual Salary Growth A merit scale varying by duration of employment coupled
with an assumed annual inflation component of 3.00%and an annual production growth of 0.25%
Initial unfunded liabilities are amortized over a closed period that depends on the plan's date of entry into CalPERS. Subsequent plan amendments are amortized as a level percent of pay over a closed 20-year period. Gains and losses that occur in the operation of the plan are amortized over a 30 year rolling period, which results in an amortization of about 6% of unamortized gains and losses each year. If the Plan's accrued liability exceeds the actuarial value of plan assets, the annual contribution with respect to the total unfunded liability may not be less than the amount produced by a 30-year amortization of the unfunded liability.

Three-Year Trend Information for PERS ($ Amount in Thousands)
For fiscal year 2011-2012, the City of Bell Gardens participated in risk pooling for its miscellaneous and safety employees. Risk pooling consists of combining assets and liabilities across employers to produce large groups where the impact of a catastrophic demographic event is shared among all employers of the same risk pool. Participation in risk pools is mandatory for all rate plans with less than 100 active members. Mandated participation in risk pools was initially based on the active membership of each rate plan as of June 30, 2003. The implementation of risk pools was done in a way that minimizes the impact on employer contribution rates. The first year in risk pools, the employer contribution rates are almost identical to what the rates would have been outside pools. Future rates will be based on the experience of each pool. Pooling will reduce the volatility of future employer rates. Mandated participation will occur on an annual basis. If on any valuation date starting with the June 30, 2003, valuation, a rate plan has less than 100 active members, it will be mandated in one of the risk pools effective on that valuation date.
Note 9: Other Post-Retirement Benefits
Plan Description
In addition to the pension benefits described above, the City provides retiree health insurance benefits. In accordance with the plan, which was approved by the City Council, these benefits are available to all employees who are eligible for normal PERS retirement and who retire after January 1, 1990. The City pays for monthly medical, dental and vision premium. The portion paid is based on years of service at retirement. Executives receive 10% for each year and 100% at 10 years. All other receive 0% for the first four years, 50% at five years plus 10% each year thereafter up to 100%.
Funding Policy
Currently, the City funds retiree healthcare benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis. The City recognizes expenditure for its share of the annual premiums as these benefits become due. For fiscal year 2011-2012, the City paid $509,529 for benefits of 20 retired employees.
Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation
The City’s annual other post-retirement benefit (OPEB) cost is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities over a period not to exceed thirty years.

Funded Status and Funding Progress
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trends. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress below presents multiyear trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits. Only one year is presented as this is the third year of the plan and a new actuarial has not been performed.

CITY OF BELL GARDENS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2012 Note 9: Other Post-Retirement Benefits (Continued)
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations. The actuarial valuation, dated June 30, 2009, used the frozen entry age actuarial cost method, a discount rate of 4.00% which is the long-term expected rate of return on the City’s investment fund, and a medical cost trend of 7.0%, 3.5% and 2.0% per year for medical, dental and vision respectively. The unfunded accrued actuarial liability (UAAL) is being amortized over a fixed 20-year closed period as a level percentage of payroll beginning with the 2009-10 fiscal year. As of the actuarial valuation date, the City had 131 active participants and 38 retire es receiving benefits.
Note 10: Insurance a. Description of Self-Insurance Pool Pursuant to Joint Powers Agreement
The City of Bell Gardens is a member of the CALIFORNIA JOINT POWERS INSURANCE AUTHORITY (Authority). The Authority is composed of 123 California public entities and is organized under a joint powers agreement pursuant to California Government Code §6500 et seq. The purpose of the Authority is to arrange and administer programs for the pooling of self-insured losses, to purchase excess insurance or reinsurance, and to arrange for group purchased insurance for property and other lines of coverage. The California JPIA began covering claims of its members in 1978. Each member government has an elected official as its representative on the Board of Directors. The Board operates through a nine-member Executive Committee.
b. Self-Insurance Programs of the Authority
Each member pays an annual contribution (formerly called the primary deposit) to cover estimated losses for the coverage period. This initial funding is paid at the beginning of the coverage period. After the close of the coverage period, outstanding claims are valued. A retrospective deposit computation is then conducted annually thereafter until all claims incurred during the coverage period are closed on a pool-wide basis. This subsequent cost re-allocation among members based on actual claim development can result in adjustments of either refunds or additional deposits required.
The total funding requirement for self-insurance programs is estimated using actuarial models and pre-funded through the annual contribution. Costs are allocated to individual agencies based on exposure (payroll) and experience (claims) relative to other members of the risk-sharing pool. Additional information regarding the cost allocation methodology is provided below.
48
CITY OF BELL GARDENS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2012 Note 10: Insurance (Continued)
General Liability - In the liability program claims are pooled separately between police and non-police exposures. (1) The payroll of each member is evaluated relative to the payroll of other members. A variable credibility factor is determined for each member, which establishes the weight applied to payroll and the weight applied to losses within the formula. (2) The first layer of losses includes incurred costs up to $30,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool’s total incurred costs within the first layer. (3) The second layer of losses includes incurred costs from $30,000 to $750,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool’s total incurred costs within the second layer. (4) Incurred costs in excess of $750,000 up to the reinsurance attachment point of $5 million are distributed based on the outcome of cost allocation within the first and second loss layers. (5) Costs of covered claims from $5 million to $10 million are paid under a reinsurance contract subject to a $2.5 million annual aggregate deductible. Costs of covered claims from $10 million to $15 million are paid under two reinsurance contracts subject to a combined $3 million annual aggregate deductible. On a cumulative basis for all 2011-12 reinsurance contracts the annual aggregate deductible is $5.5 million. (6) Costs of covered claims from $15 million up to $50 million are covered through excess insurance policies. The overall coverage limit for each member including all layers of coverage is $50 million per occurrence. Costs of covered claims for subsidence losses are paid by reinsurance and excess insurance with a pooled sub-limit of $35 million per occurrence. This $35 million subsidence sub-limit is composed of (a) $5 million retained within the pool’s SIR, (b) $10 million in reinsurance and (c) $20 million in excess insurance. The excess insurance layer has a $20 million annual aggregate. Worker Compensation - The City of Bell Gardens also participates in the workers’ compensation pool administered by the Authority. In the workers’ compensation program claims are pooled separately between public safety (police and fire) and non-public safety exposures. (1) The payroll of each member is evaluated relative to the payroll of other members. A variable credibility factor is determined for each member, which establishes the weight applied to payroll and the weight applied to losses within the formula. (2) The first layer of losses includes incurred costs up to $50,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool’s total incurred costs within the first layer. (3) The second layer of losses includes incurred costs from $50,000 to $100,000 for each occurrence and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool’s total incurred costs within the second layer. (4) Incurred costs in excess of $100,000 up to the reinsurance attachment point of $2 million are distributed based on the outcome of cost allocation within the first and second loss layers. (5) Costs of covered claims from $2 million up to statutory limits are paid under a reinsurance policy. Protection is provided per statutory liability under California Workers’ Compensation Law. Employer’s Liability losses are pooled among members to $2 million. Coverage from $2 million to $5 million is purchased as part of a reinsurance policy, and Employer’s Liability losses from $5 million to $10 million are pooled among members.

The Authority has a limit of $50 million for the 3-year period from July 1, 2011 through July 1, 2014. Each member of the Authority has a $10 million sub-limit during the 3-year term of the policy.
Property Insurance The City of Bell Gardens participates in the all-risk property protection program of the Authority. This insurance protection is underwritten by several insurance companies. City of Bell Gardens property is currently insured according to a schedule of covered property submitted by the City of Bell Gardens to the Authority. City of Bell Gardens property currently has all-risk property insurance protection in the amount of $35,664,270.

During the past three fiscal years, none of the above programs of protection experienced settlements or judgments that exceeded pooled or insured coverage. There were also no significant reductions in pooled or insured liability coverage in 2011-12.
Note 11: Contingent Liabilities
The City is a defendant in various lawsuits. Although the outcome of these lawsuits is not presently determinable, in the opinion of the City attorney, the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the City.

CITY OF BELL GARDENS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2012 Note 14: California Redevelopment Agency Dissolution
On July 18, 2011, the California Redevelopment Association (“CRA”) and the League of California Cities (“League”) filed a petition for writ of mandate with the California Supreme Court, requesting the Court to declare unconstitutional two bills that were passed as part of the 2011-12 State Budget, AB1X 26 and 27 (California Redevelopment Association v. Matosantos). AB1X 26 dissolves redevelopment agencies effective October 1, 2011. AB 1X 27 gave redevelopment agencies an option to avoid dissolution if it commits to making defined payments for the benefit of the State, school districts and certain special districts. In 2011-12, these payments amounted to a state-wide total of $1.7 billion. In 2012-13 and subsequent years, the payments totaled $400 million, annually. Each city or county’s share of these payments was determined based on its proportionate share of state-wide tax increment. On August 17, 2011 the Supreme Court issued a stay of the implementation of AB 1X 26 and 27 which allowed a redevelopment agency to continue if it adopted an AB 1X 27 ordinance. However, because of the effect of the stay order, the authority for the Redevelopment Agency to engage in most activities was suspended. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on November 10, 2011 and on December 29, 2011 announced its decision in (California Redevelopment Association v. Matosantos). The court upheld AB 1X 26 which eliminates redevelopment agencies, but invalidated in its entirety AB 1X 27 which allowed redevelopment agencies to continue as long as they made the required payments. AB 1X26 established deadlines for the process of Redevelopment Agency dissolution and the handling of existing obligations. The Court extended certain deadlines of AB 1X 26 in its ruling by four months. The full text of AB 1X 26 may be obtained from the California legislative information website maintained by the Legislative Counsel of the State of California at: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/bilinfo.html. As of January 31, 2012, the Community Development Commission has been dissolved and the City of Bell Gardens has elected to become the Successor Agency. The Successor Agency will be responsible for winding down the remaining activities of the dissolved Community Development Commission.
Note 15: Successor Agency Trust For Assets of Former Community Development Commission
On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill 1X 26 (“the Bill”) that provides for the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies in the State of California. This action impacted the reporting entity of the City of Bell Gardens that previously had reported a redevelopment agency within the reporting entity of the City as a blended component unit. The Bill provides that upon dissolution of a redevelopment agency, either the city or another unit of local government will agree to serve as the “successor agency” to hold the assets until they are distributed to other units of state and local government. On January 23, 2012, the City Council elected to become the Successor Agency for the former community development commission in accordance with the Bill as part of City resolution number 2012-07. After enactment of the law, which occurred on June 28, 2011, redevelopment agencies in the State of California cannot enter into new projects, obligations or commitments. Subject to the control of a newly established oversight board, remaining assets can only be used to pay enforceable obligations in existence at the date of dissolution (including the completion of any unfinished projects that were subject to legally enforceable contractual commitments).
52
CITY OF BELL GARDENS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) JUNE 30, 2012 Note 15: Successor Agency Trust For Assets of Former Community Development Commission
(Continued) In future fiscal years, successor agencies will only be allocated revenue in the amount that is necessary to pay the estimated annual installment payments on enforceable obligations of the former redevelopment agency until all enforceable obligations of the prior redevelopment agency have been paid in full and all assets have been liquidated. The Bill directs the State Controller of the State of California to review the propriety of any transfers of assets between redevelopment agencies and other public bodies that occurred after January 1, 2011. If the public body that received such transfers is not contractually committed to a third party for the expenditure or encumbrance of those assets, the State Controller is required to order the available assets to be transferred to the public body designated as the successor agency by the Bill. Management believes, in consultation with legal counsel, that the obligations of the former community development commission due to the City are valid enforceable obligations payable by the successor agency trust under the requirements of the Bill. The City’s position on this issue is not a position of settled law and there is considerable legal uncertainty regarding this issue. It is reasonably possible that a legal determination may be made at a later date by an appropriate judicial authority that would resolve this issue unfavorably to the City. In accordance with the timeline set forth in the Bill (as modified by the California Supreme Court on December 29, 2011) all redevelopment agencies in the State of California were dissolved and ceased to operate as a legal entity as of February 1, 2012. Prior to that date, the final seven months of the activity of the community development commission continued to be reported in the governmental funds of the City. After the date of dissolution, the assets and activities of the dissolved community development commission are reported in a fiduciary fund (private-purpose trust fund) in the financial statements of the City. The transfer of the assets and liabilities of the former community development commission as of February 1, 2012 (effectively the same date as January 31, 2012) from governmental funds of the City to fiduciary funds was reported in the governmental funds as an extraordinary loss (or gain) in the governmental fund financial statements. The receipt of these assets and liabilities as of January 31, 2012, was reported in the private-purpose trust fund as an extraordinary gain (or loss). Because of the different measurement focus of the governmental funds (current financial resources measurement focus) and the measurement focus of the trust funds (economic resources measurement focus), the extraordinary loss (gain) recognized in the governmental funds was not the same amount as the extraordinary gain (loss) that was recognized in the fiduciary fund financial statements.

On April 1, 2005, Bell Gardens Housing Partners, L.P., a California limited partnership entered into a promissory note to pay the Bell Gardens Community Development Commission $3,812,203 for the payment of public and private debts. The Commission has provided certain financial assistance in construction of a 72-unit senior affordable housing project by providing a Commission Loan (which is represented by this Promissory Note) in the amount of $3,812,203 for the acquisition and clearing of the site and to help defray Developer's costs. The promissory note amount shall bear simple interest at the rate of 3% per annum, and 10% per annum shall accrue upon the amount of each payment required upon the date each such payment is due.

The advances from the City consist of $50,969,615 loans with accrued interest made to the former Community Development Commission to provide cash for capital projects.
On October 20, 2012, the Department of Finance did not qualify the advances of $50,969,615 as an enforceable obligation. Health and Safety Code (HSC) section 34177 (d) (2) states that agreements, contracts, or arrangements between the City that created the Community Development Commission and the former Community Development Commission are not enforceable, unless issued within two years of the Agency’s creation date or for issuance of indebtedness to third-party investors or bondholders. The Commission was established in 1972 and the reimbursement agreements were entered into in 1973 through 1991 and in 2011, therefore, it is not considered an enforceable obligation. The Successor Agency is in the process of having the advance approved as an enforceable obligation.

2003 Tax Allocation Bonds
On June 17, 2003, the Commission issued $17,705,000 of refunding revenue bonds with an average interest rate of 3.9% to advance refund $13.7 million of outstanding 1993 revenue bonds with an average interest rate of 6.25%. The net proceeds of $17.5 million (after payment of insurance, underwriter discount and other issuance cost) plus an additional 2.1 million of 1993 series monies were used to purchase U.S. government securities. Those securities were deposited in an irrevocable trust with an escrow agent to provide for all future debt service payments on the 1993 bonds. At June 30, 2012, the unamortized discount outstanding was $57,036 and the total bonds outstanding was $13,225,000. The annual requirements to amortize the outstanding bond indebtedness as of June 30, 2012, including interest, are as follows:
Principal Interest2012-2013 670,000$ 665,097$ 2013-2014 695,000 636,119 2014-2015 725,000 605,158 2015-2016 755,000 571,835 2016-2017 790,000 535,983 2017-2022 4,560,000 2,046,774 2022-2027 3,135,000 959,872 2027-2032 1,895,000 171,403

On June 14, 2012, Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) downgraded all California tax allocation bonds rated ‘Baa3’ and above. As such, the Bonds’ insured rating was downgraded from ‘A3’ to ‘Ba1’ and underlying rating was downgraded from ‘A3’ to ‘Ba1’. According to Moody’s, all California tax allocation bond ratings remain on review for possible withdrawal.
2005 Revenue Bonds, Series A
On June 22, 2005, the Commission issued $4,775,000 of revenue bonds with an interest rate of 7.75%.

Interest is paid semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 with a final maturity date of October 1, 2029. At June 30, 2012, the unamortized premium outstanding was $290,295 and the total principal outstanding was $4,145,000.

Pledged Revenue
The City pledged, as security for bonds issued, either directly or through the Financing Authority, a portion of tax increment revenue (including Low and Moderate Income Housing set-aside and pass through allocations) that it receives. The bonds issued were to provide financing for various capital projects, accomplish Low and Moderate Income Housing projects and to defease previously issued bonds. Assembly Bill 1X 26 provided that upon dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency, property taxes allocated to redevelopment agencies no longer are deemed tax increment but rather property tax revenues and will be allocated first to successor agencies to make payments on the indebtedness incurred by the dissolved redevelopment agency. Total principal and interest remaining on the debt is $26,575,637 with annual debt service requirements as indicated above. For the current year, the total property tax revenue recognized by the City and Successor Agency for the payment of indebtedness incurred by the dissolved redevelopment agency was $1,820,730 and the debt service obligation on the bonds was $1,809,145.
Bear Sterns Note Payable
On July 2, 2002, the Commission entered into a loan agreement with Bear Stearns Commercial Mortgage, Inc. for the development of the Los Jardines Shopping Center. The loan amount is $10,000,000 with an interest rate of 6.85% per annum. Monthly payments amount to $65,526 on the first day of each calendar month beginning August 2002 and ending June 2012. The balance of the promissory note at June 30, 2012, is $8,716,675. At June 30, 2012, the annual requirements to repay the outstanding indebtedness were as follows:

e. Insurance
The Successor Agency is covered under the City of Bell Garden’s insurance policies. Therefore, the limitation and self-insured retentions applicable to the City also apply to the Successor Agency. Additional information as to coverage and self-insured retentions can be found in Note 10.
f. Subsequent Events
Assembly Bill 1484 established a requirement for the successor agency to remit to the County auditor-controller three payments as determined by the auditor-controller which consist of a payment to be made in July 2012 for taxing entities’ share of December 2011 property tax distribution to redevelopment agency/successor agency, a payment to be made in November 2012 related to Low-Moderate Income Housing Fund Due Diligence Review for unencumbered cash, and a payment to be made in April 2013 related to the other Redevelopment Funds Due Diligence Review for unencumbered cash. As of the date of the report the payment in July 2012 was made in the amount of $515,157. In addition, the Low-Moderate Income Housing Due Diligence Review resulted in an amount due of $229,706 and the other Redevelopment Funds Due Diligence Review resulted in no amount due to the County, neither of which have been confirmed by the Department of Finance.

Notes: Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the city. This schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the residents and businesses of the City of Bell Gardens. This process recognizes that, when considering the city's ability to issue and repay long-term debt, the entire debt burden borne by the residents and businesses should be taken into account. However, this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident—and therefore responsible for repaying the debt—of each overlapping government.
