We have audited the financial statements of the La Quinta Financing Authority (a component
unit of the City of La Quinta) as of and for the year ended .lune 30, 2000, as listed in the table of
contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of the City of
La Quinta, California. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. 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 financial position of the La Quinta Financing Authority (a component unit of the City of
La Quinta) at June 30, 2000, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

LA QUINTA FINANCING AUTHORITY
Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended June 30, 2000
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the La Quinta Financing Authority ("Authority") have
been prepared on the modified accrual basis. Revenues are recognized when they
become measurable and available. Expenditures are recorded when a related
liability is incurred, except that prepaid expenses are not recorded, and interest
and principal on revenue bonds and transfers to the City of La Quinta are recorded
as expenditures when due.
(b) Fund Accountin
The accounts of the Authority are organized on the basis of funds and account
groups as follows:
Debt Service Fund - used to account for the accumulation and holding of
resources for, and the payment of, principal and interest when due. Revenue
sources are lease repayments and bond proceeds.
Capital Projects Fund - accounts for all expenditures during constriction of
remaining improvements to streets and public facilities at the La Quinta Civic
Center site. Revenue sources are the moneys released from the 1991 Revenue
Bond reserve and a portion of the 1996 Refunding Revenue bond proceeds.
General Long -Term Debt Account Group - used to account for the outstanding
principal of long-term debt.
(c) Budgetary Data
Annual budgets of revenues and expenditures are not applicable to the Authority.
This is due to the legal structure of the bond indentures, which specifically directs
the timing and amounts of receipts and disbursements.
(d) Investments
For financial reporting purposes, investments are adjusted to their fair value
whenever the difference between fair value and the carrying amount is immaterial.
Changes in fair 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 value, and any gains or losses realized upon the liquidation or sale
of investments.

include cash payments from the City of La Quinta as well as any credits toward
the City's payment due to capitalized interest or interest earnings on reserve
accounts held by the City.
Memorandum Only Totals
Columns in the accompanying financial statements captioned "Totals
(Memorandum Only)" are not necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but are
presented as additional analytical data. Interfund balances and transactions have
not been eliminated. Therefore, the data in this column does not represent
consolidated financial information.
(2) Description of Reporting Entity
The La Quinta Financing Authority is a joint exercise of powers authority created by a
joint powers agreement between the City of La Quinta and the La Quinta Redevelopment
Agency, dated November 19, 1991. The purpose of the Authority is to provide, through
the issuance of debt, financing necessary for the construction of various public
improvements. The Authority is an integral part of the City of La Quinta and the
financial transactions of the Authority are also included in the general purpose financial
statements of the City of La Quinta.

Investments of cities (including component units) in securities are classified in three
categories to give an indication of the level of custodial risk assumed by the entity.
Category 1 - includes investments that are insured or registered, in the Authority's
name, or for which the securities are held by the Authority or the
Authority's custodial agent (which must be a different institution other
than the party through which the Authority purchased the securities) in
the Authority's name. Investments held "in the Authority's name"
include securities held in a separate custodial or fiduciary account and
identified as owned by the Authority in the custodian's internal
accounting records.
Category 2 - includes uninsured and unregistered investments for which the securities
are held in the Authority's name by the dealer's agent (or by the trust
department of the dealer if the dealer was a financial institution and
another department of the institution purchased the securities for the
Authority).
Category 3 - includes uninsured and unregistered investments for which the securities
are held by the dealer's trust department or agent, but not in the
Authority's name. Category 3 also includes all securities held by the
broker-dealer agent of the Authority (the party that purchased the
securities for the Authority) regardless of whether or not the securities
are being held in the Authority's name.

(4) Lease Receivable
On November 19, 1991, the Authority leased from the City the land that was to be used
as the site for the future City Hall facility. Under the terms of the operating lease, an
advance rent of one dollar was paid at the inception of the lease as full consideration for
the Authority's use of the land for the term of the operating lease which ends on
October 8, 2028, unless terminated earlier as provided in the lease agreement. The City
retains title to the land during the term of the lease.
On November 19, 1991, the Authority entered into a sublease agreement to lease the land
along with the City Hall improvements ("the Project") back to the City. The lease
payments to be received by the Authority from the City are equal to the Authority's semi-
annual debt service payment required on the $8,515,000 of 1991 Local Agency Revenue
Bonds until fiscal year 1997. The Authority defeased the 1991 Local Agency Revenue
Bonds with the issuance of $8,790,000 of 1996 Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds during
fiscal year 1997. As a result of this refunding, the sublease agreement was amended on
October 1, 1996 to provide that the Authority shall receive from the City lease payments
which are equal to the Authority's semi-annual debt service required on the 1996 Lease
Revenue Refunding Bonds and the term of the sublease agreement ends September 30,
2028, unless terminated earlier as provided in the first amendment to the sublease
agreement.
The sublease provides that upon payment by the City of all required lease payments, title
to the City Hall improvements is transferred to the City. Accordingly, the Authority's
sublease of the Project to the City is accounted for as a capital lease and the project assets
have been transferred to the City. Upon transfer of the Project to the City, the Authority
recorded a lease receivable and related deferred revenue to account for its interest in lease
payments to be received from the City. At June 30, 2000, the balance of the lease
receivable was $8,010,000.

On November 15, 1996, the Authority issued $8,790,000 of 1996 Lease Revenue
Refunding Bonds to defease the remaining 1991 Local Agency Revenue Bonds in the
amount of $8,200,000 and to provide funds for construction of remaining improvements
to the La Quinta Civic Center site.
The bonds consist of $3,630,000 of serial bonds and $5,160,000 of term bonds. The
serial bonds will accrue interest at rates between 3.70% to 5.30%v and principal amounts
mature between October 1, 1997 to October 1, 2008 in amounts ranging from $285,000 to
$380,000. The term bonds accrue interest at a rate of 5.55% and mature on October 1,
2018.
A surety agreement has been purchased to satisfy the bond reserve requirement. The
amount of principal outstanding on the 1996 Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds at June 30,
2000 was $8,010,000.
A portion of the $8,790,000 bond proceeds, along with the remaining reserve from the
1991 Local Agency Revenue Bonds were used to purchase state and local government
securities that were deposited in a trust with an escrow bank to provide for all future debt
service payments on $8,200,000 of the outstanding 1991 Local Agency Revenue Bonds.
As a result, these certain bonds are considered to be defeased and the liability has been
removed from the long term debt account group of the Authority. At June 30, 2000, the
amount of defeased bonds outstanding is $7,205,000.
