February 7, 2020
To the Citizens of La Quinta, and the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
It is with great pleasure that we present to you the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
(CAFR) of the City of La Quinta for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. The CAFR has been
prepared by the Finance Department for the benefit of City Council members, citizens,
investors, grantors, employees, and others who may have an interest in the financial well-
being of the City.
The CAFR presents information regarding the City’s financial activities. This transmittal
letter provides a non-technical summary of the City’s finances, services, achievements, and
economic outlook. A more detailed analysis is presented in the Management’s Discussion
and Analysis section (MD&A) that immediately follows the independent auditor’s report. The
MD&A provides an overview and analysis of the basic financial statements and complements
this transmittal.
Responsibility for both the accuracy and the completeness of all disclosures rests with the
City of La Quinta. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the enclosed data is accurate in
all material respects and is reported in a manner designed to fairly present the financial
position and results of City operations. Supplementary disclosures are included to
summarize the City’s financial activities.
This CAFR was prepared in conformance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP). The City’s financial reporting is based upon all Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) pronouncements.
Eide Bailly LLP has issued an unmodified (“clean”) opinion on the City’s financial statements
for the year ended June 30, 2019. This is the most favorable conclusion. The independent
auditor’s report is located at the front of the financial section. The independent audit
involved examining evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation and conformity with GAAP.
ii
Government Profile
The City of La Quinta is located 120 miles east of Los Angeles in the eastern portion of
Riverside County known as the Coachella Valley. The City has a permanent population of
approximately 42,000, within a boundary of 36 square miles. Each year nearly 18,000
seasonal residents also call La Quinta home from October through May. The City sits at the
base of the Santa Rosa Mountains and is an integral part of the Coachella Valley’s world-
renowned resort and retirement area.
The City was incorporated in 1982 as a general law City and became a charter city in
November 1996. It is governed by a five-member City Council under the Council/Manager
form of government. The Mayor is directly elected, serves a two-year term, and represents
the City at many public functions; the four Council Members serve four-year terms, with
two Council Members elected every two years. The Mayor and Council Members are elected
at large and also serve as the Board of Directors of the Housing and Finance Authorities.
The Council appoints the City Manager, who in turn appoints the Directors of the various
departments except for the City Attorney who is appointed by the Council. The Finance
Director also serves as the City/Housing Authority Treasurer and the City Manager is also
the Executive Director of the Housing Authority.
The City provides a range of services, which include street and infrastructure construction
and maintenance; community development and planning; affordable housing programs;
code compliance; recreational and cultural activities; and operations management.
The City contracts with other government agencies and private entities for specific services,
including police and fire protection, library and museum services, water and sewer service,
electricity service, public transit, refuse collection, and street sweeping.
The City’s annual operating and capital improvement budgets are adopted by resolutions
for the fiscal year that begins July 1st. Separate resolutions are adopted by the City Council
and Board of Directors of the Housing and Finance Authorities.
The annual budget is the foundation for the City’s financial planning and control. The budget
is prepared by fund, function, department, and line item. Department Directors may transfer
line item resources within a division with the approval of the City Manager. The City
Manager may authorize transfers between divisions and departments.
iii
Local Economy
According to the State of California Employment Development Department, as of November
2019, the unadjusted unemployment rate for La Quinta was 3.5%, which was lower than
adjusted rates for Riverside County’s at 3.8% and the statewide average of 3.7%. The City’s
dominant industries are recreation, tourism, and retailers, with the following being major
employers: La Quinta Resort and Club, Desert Sands Unified School District, Wal-Mart Super
Center, Costco, Home Depot, Imperial Irrigation District, Lowe’s Home Improvement,
Target, and Traditions Golf Club.
The City is committed to retaining and attracting new revenue-generating businesses. In
2019, the City welcomed Marvyn’s Magic Theater, Tuscano’s BrewQuinta, Planet Fitness,
and Floor and Decor; along with the expansion of the popular Okura restaurant.
Long-term Financial Planning
Sound financial governance continues to be management’s focus. The City has a long
history of providing superior service, life enrichment opportunities, and a quality
environment to its residents, businesses, and visitors. La Quinta, like every other
municipality in the State, is faced with rising pension and public safety costs, among other
economic challenges. La Quinta is addressing these costs by establishing and funding Other
Post Employment Benefit and Pension Trusts and conducting a regional assessment on
police services to identify long-term savings.
The City ensures that its long-range goals are met through a variety of Boards and
Commissions. Each is comprised of Council appointed residents, may include a City Council
representative, and are supported by City staff. In addition, the City has adopted various
financial policies and practices with the goal of sustaining a fiscally resilient government
over the long-term, improving fiscal sustainability, as well as increasing transparency and
encouraging public engagement.
In 2018/19, the General Fund’s non-spendable fund balance decreased by $19 million. The
decrease reflects the write-off of five interfund loans as described in Note 19 of the financial
statements. In addition, 2017/18 Pension Trust committed reserves of $2,000,000 were
utilized and augmented with an additional $4,540,000 for a total of $6,540,000 to establish
and fund a pension trust, which in 2018/19 is recognized as a restricted fund balance. In
May 2018, the City adopted a Reserve Policy and as of June 30, 2019 reserves are 82%
iv
funded with a balance of $37.5 million and a goal of being fully funded by June 30, 2021.
In addition, the City paid off a 1996 Civic Center general obligation bond.
In June 2019 the City Council adopted a conservative budget for fiscal year 2019/20 based
on current economic conditions. The adopted budget had operating revenues exceeding
expenses by $292,300. Included in the 2019/20 budget were $21.2 million of capital
improvements with 28% ($7,446,100) of these funds coming from the General Fund and
47% ($9,898,600) from grants. Improvements include parkway landscape turf conversions
north of Highway 111, drainage improvements, and road and sidewalk improvements to
decrease vehicle congestion and improve walkability. New community amenities include an
event space at SilverRock, a Village Art Plaza Promenade, and a Skate Park.
La Quinta has cultivated a sound foundation of General Fund revenues including sales tax,
transient occupancy (hotel) tax, and property tax. The City was incorporated in 1982 after
Proposition 13 was approved (the landmark property tax reform initiative enacted in 1978);
as such, the City receives a smaller share of property tax revenue and must rely heavily on
sales tax and transient occupancy (hotel) tax revenue for General Fund income.
The Future
The luxury Montage and lifestyle Pendry hotels are under construction. The development is
adjacent to the SilverRock Golf Resort and includes a spa, conference center, lifestyle
branded residential, resort and mixed-use villages, and a golf clubhouse. Concurrently, the
City is constructing a 14-acre event site and passive community park adjacent to this
development. The park will feature rolling hills, water features, meandering walkways, and
360-degree breathtaking views. A Residence Inn is also under construction on Highway 111.
The Highway 111 business corridor is a two mile-long, 400-acre regional commercial hub
at the center of the City, with daily traffic exceeding 40,000 vehicles, and accounts for
nearly 80% of the City’s annual sales tax revenue. A visionary assessment of the corridor
was completed in the Fall of 2019. The assessment produced a Highway 111 Corridor Plan
(Plan) which identifies design and aesthetic opportunities to promote business visibility and
access, emerging technology, mixed use development, future land-use, and development
strategies. The Plan includes a community supported vision and guiding principles that
encourage a vibrant and walkable area. In 2020, the City will begin to implement the various
priorities identified in the Plan.
v
CV Link, a 49-mile long regional, multimodal pathway is under construction and will link
Palm Springs to Thermal. CV Link is anticipated to attract 13,500 to 16,000 pedestrians,
bicyclists, and other users annually. The pathway will run north of the Highway 111 corridor
and supports new business opportunities.
Awards and Acknowledgements
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA)
awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City for its
CAFR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. This was the twenty-second consecutive year
that the City received this prestigious award. To be awarded a Certificate of Achievement,
the City had to publish an easily readable and efficiently organized CAFR.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for one year. We believe that our current CAFR
continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s requirements and we are
submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
We would like to express our appreciation to the City Council for their ongoing oversight of
the financial affairs of the City and their prudent fiscal, economic, and land use policy and
direction. We also thank City staff with special appreciation to the Finance Department for
their continued effort to provide accurate financial data and the preparation of this report.
Respectfully Submitted,

Independent Auditor’s Report
The Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
City of La Quinta, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, business-type activities,
each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of La Quinta, California, (City), as of
and for the year ended June 30, 2019, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively
comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation
of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
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 in the United States of America and the
standards applicable to financial audits contained in 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 from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those
risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation
of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly,
we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinions.
2
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective
financial position of the governmental activities, business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the City, as of June 30, 2019, and the respective changes in financial position,
and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s
discussion and analysis, schedule of the City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability, schedule of
pension plan contributions, schedule of changes in the net OPEB liability/(asset) and related ratios, schedule of
OPEB contributions, budgetary comparison schedules for the General Fund and Housing Authority special
revenue fund and the related notes, as listed on 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.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City's basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual fund
statements and schedules, and statistical section are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual fund statements and schedules are the responsibility of management and were
derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic
financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of
the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such
information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial
statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and
individual fund statements and schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic
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.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated February 7, 2020, on
our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with
certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that
report is solely 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 effectiveness of the City’s internal control
over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance
with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and
compliance.

HIGHLIGHTS
At the close of 2018/19 (June 30, 2019):
• The total assets and deferred outflows of the City exceeded its total
liabilities and deferred inflows at the close of the fiscal year 2018/19
by $746,237,000 (net position). Of this amount, $138,824,000 (unre-
stricted net position) may be used to meet ongoing obligations and
approximately $562,598,000 or 75% was invested in capital assets and
is not available to meet ongoing obligations.
• Governmental activities total net position increased by $21,552,000
and the Business-Type total net position increased by $5,233,000
which is attributable to the SilverRock Golf Course.
• Governmental funds (General Fund, Housing Authority, Capital
Improvement Fund, Civic Center Fund, seventeen (17) Special
Revenue Funds, eight (8) capital projects funds, and the Finance
Authority Fund) had a combined ending fund balance of $160,522,000,
an increase of $10,840,000. The primary reasons for this increase are
the establishment of a Pension Trust ($6,540,000), an extraordinary
gain of $993,000 derived from the Redevelopment loan repayment, the
write-off of five interfund loans, and a $2,550,000 increase in transient
occupancy hotel and sales taxes combined.
• The unassigned General Fund balance comprised $16,229,000, or
14%, of the total $117,638,000 balance and represented 22% of total
final General Fund budgeted expenses including transfers and multi-
year capital projects.
• Total governmental activities debt decreased by $1,774,000 from
$15,878,000 to $14,104,000. In 2018/19, the Eisenhower Drive
retention basin land purchased for drainage improvements and the
1996 Civic Center Revenue Bonds were paid in full. (Note 5)
OVERVIEW
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements provide a broad overview of the
City’s finances. There are two statements – statement of net position and
statement of activities, as described below.
5
The statement of net position presents information on all City assets and
deferred outflows of resources as well as liabilities, and deferred inflows of
resources, with the difference between the two reported as net position.
Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful
indicator of whether the City’s financial position is improving or
deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the
government's net position changed during the most recent fiscal year.
All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event
occurs giving rise to the change, regardless of the timing of related cash
flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for
some items that will only result in cash flows in f uture fiscal periods,
for example, earned but unused vacation leave.
Both of these government-wide financial statements distinguish City
functions, which are principally supported by taxes , fees, and
intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other
functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of
their costs through user charges (business-type activities).
Governmental activities include general government, public safety,
community services, community development and publi c works;
business-type activities include the SilverRock Gol f course operations.
The government-wide financial statements include no t only the City of
La Quinta (known as the primary government), but also the La Quinta
Financing Authority and the La Quinta Housing Autho rity. Although
legally separate entities, they function for all practical purposes as City
departments.
The government-wide financial statements are listed in the table of
contents under the Financial Section of this report .
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts and is use d to maintain control
over resources that have been segregated for specif ic activities or
objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund
accounting to ensure compliance with finance-relate d legal
requirements. All City’s funds are aggregated into three categories:
governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciar y funds.
Government Funds
Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same
functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide
financial statements. However, unlike the governmen t-wide financial
statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-
6
term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances
of spendable resources available at the end of the fi scal year. Such
information may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term
financing requirements.
Because the focus is narrower than the government-wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare this informatio n with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government-
wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand
the long-term impact of the government's near-term financing
decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the
governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes
in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison
between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains thirty (30) individual governmen tal funds, which are
distinguished between major and non-major 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. There are four (4) major governmental funds: the
General Fund, two (2) capital project funds, and one special revenue
fund. Data from the other twenty-six (26) 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 under Other Governmental Funds.
The City adopts an annual budget for its General Fund. A budgetary
comparison schedule has been provided to demonstrat e compliance with
the adopted budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found in the
table of contents under the heading Basic Financial Statements.
Proprietary Funds
Proprietary funds are broken down into enterprise and internal service
funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented
as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements.
The City maintains one (1) enterprise fund to account for the SilverRock
Golf Course operations, which is considered to be a major fund.
Internal service funds are used to allocate costs among the City’s various
functions. The City has four (4) internal service f unds: vehicles,
information technology systems, park equipment and facilities, and
insurance. Because these four (4) services predominantly benefit
governmental rather than business-type functions, t hey have been
included within governmental activities in the govern ment-wide financial
statements. The internal service funds are combined into a single,
7
aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements.
Individual fund data for the internal service funds is provided in the form
of combining statements on the Combining and Individual Fund
Statements.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements are listed in the table of
contents under Proprietary Funds: Statement of Net Position, Statement of
Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Fund Net Position, and Statement of
Cash Flows.
Fiduciary Funds
Fiduciary funds, also called agency funds, are used to account for resources
held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are
not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the
resources of those funds are not available to support the City’s own
programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used
for proprietary funds.
The City reports on three fiduciary funds: 1) Successor Agency Trust which
provides for activities associated with the dissolution of the former
Redevelopment Agency, 2) Defined Contribution Pension Trust established
to provide retirement benefits and 3) Agency Funds.
The basic fiduciary fund financial statements are listed in the table of
contents under Fiduciary Funds: Statement of Net Position – Fiduciary
Funds and Changes in Net Position – Fiduciary Funds.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes to the financial statements provide information that is essential
to obtain a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide
and fund financial statements. These notes are listed in the table of contents
under Notes to Basic Financial Statements.
Other Information

Government-Wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a
government's financial position. In the case of the City, assets and deferred
outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources
by $746,237,000 at the close of the 2018/19, which is $26,785,000 more
than the previous year. Increases were reflected in all three categories;
capital assets, restricted, and unrestricted net position for governmental
activities.
The largest portion of the City’s Net Position ($562,598,000 or 75% for
2018/19 and $554,499,000 or 77% for 2017/18) reflects investment in
capital assets (e.g., land, buildings; machinery, and equipment), net of
related debt. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to
citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending.
However, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay the related
debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets
themselves cannot be used to liquidate debt.
City of La Quinta Net Position
An additional portion of the City's net position ($44,815,000 or 6% in 2019
and $39,205,000 or 5% in 2018) represents resources that are subject to
external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of
unrestricted Net Position $138,824,000 (19%) may be used to meet the
government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
At the end of 2018/19, the City had positive balances in all three categories
of Net Position, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its
separate governmental activities. As a result of an interfund loan write-off
business type Unrestricted Net Position went from a deficit balance of
$5,203,000 to a positive balance of $240,000 (Note 19).

Governmental Activities
Governmental activities Net Position increased by $21,552,000 accounting
for a positive 3% percent change in the Net Position from the previous year.
Key elements of these changes are as follows:
City of La Quinta Changes in Net Position
• Revenues overall increased by $9,350,000 with the largest increase
($4,347,000) being investment income followed by an increase of
$2,550,000 in other taxes; attributed to transient occupancy and sales
taxes combined. Additional increases include property taxes -
$537,000, grant contributions - $1,364,000, capital gains - $1,007,000
and motor vehicle in lieu revenue - $145,000. These increases were
offset by decreases totaling $600,000 for charges for services and
miscellaneous revenues combined.
• Expenses for Governmental Activities decreased by $13,003,000
(a 21% decrease when compared to 2017/18). The $11,150,000
decrease in public works reflects multiple projects in design phase with
larger construction costs expected in 2019/20. As noted earlier
Governmental Activities include 26 individual governmental funds and
include capital asset activity allocated on a percentage basis by

can be found on Note 4.
• The General Fund contributed $450,000 to the business-type activities
of the golf course. Funds were utilized to support operations per the
adopted budget. An interfund loan due to General Fund from SilverRock
Golf Resort is reflected as a special item loss of $5,554,000 for
Governmental Activities and gain for Business Type Activities.
Business-Type Activities
This was the fourteenth full year of operations for the SilverRock Golf
Resort since the golf course opened in 2005.
Charges for services primarily consisted of green f ees which totaled
$3,773,000, $206,000 greater than the previous year, with golf course
expenses of $4,559,000, which were $240,000 or approximately 5%
more than the previous year. After transfers in and a special item
resulting from an interfund loan write-off, the net position increased by
$5,233,000.
Expenses increases included a $122,000 increase in management
services and an $84,000 increase for maintenance and operations.
In 2018/19, the General Fund transferred $450,000 to the SilverRock Golf
Fund to support operations.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENT’S FUNDS
As noted earlier, 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
near-term inflows, outflows, and balances. Such inf ormation is useful in
assessing the City's financing requirements. In particular, unassigned
fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a gov ernment's net
resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
11
As of the end of 2018/19, the City's governmental funds reported combined
ending fund as follows:
City of La Quinta Governmental Fund Balances
Governmental fund balances ended the year totaling $160,522,000, an
increase of $10,840,000 in comparison with the prior years’ ending balance
of $149,681,000. These collective fund balances include the General Fund,
Housing Authority, Financing Authority, Capital Improvement Fund, Civic
Center Fund, and various Special Revenue and Capital Improvement funds.
Nonspendable
Nonspendable reserves are $33,684,000 or 21%; these reserves are not
available to fund operating expenditures because they are in the form of
land and receivables.
Restricted
$51,355,000 (32%) are restricted fund balances, which are the result of
external limitations on spending. The Restricted funds such as Measure A,
which can only be used for transportation; Gas Tax Fund, restricted for
street related purposes; Section 115 trust restricted for Pension Liabilities
(new in 2018/19); or Housing Funds, restricted for housing activities to
preserve and produce affordable housing.
Committed
$31,745,000 (20%) are committed fund balances which are the result of
self-imposed limitations established by the City Council. The City adopted a
Reserve Policy in May 2018 which established three additional General Fund
committed reserve categories including: Economic Disaster Reserve,
Capital Replacement Reserve, and a Pension Trust Reserve.
Assigned
Assigned funds are constrained by the City’s intent to use them for specific
purposes and represent a total of $29,440,000 (18%) of the total fund
balance. $11,853,000 represents funds for approved Capital Projects
carryovers for multi-year projects. Available Measure G sales tax revenue
ended the year at $7,722,000. $9,865,000 represents funds held in trust
with the County of Riverside for fire services.

12
Unassigned
The remaining fund balance or $14,297,000 represents unassigned fund
balances or the residual net resources after taking into consideration the
other classifications. The Capital Improvement Fund accounted for
$380,000 of the negative $1,932,000 balance of all other funds. The
remaining balance was largely attributed to the Library Development
Impact Fee Fund. This amount represents an advance due to the
Redevelopment (RDA) Successor Agency and is included in the Successor
Agency of the former RDA as a receivable.
General Fund
The General Fund is the City’s chief operating fund. At the end of 2018/19,
the unassigned fund balance was $16,229,000 while total fund balance was
$117,638,000.
The General Fund balance decreased by $4,186,000 in 2018/19. Key factors
were:
• A year-over-year decrease of $19,293,000 in non-spendable is
attributed to the interfund loan write-offs described in Note 19, the sale
of City owned property held for resale - $2,589,000, and the annual
Redevelopment Agency loan repayment which reduced the due from
other government balance by $1,696,000 resulting in an outstanding
loan balance of $34,895,000 (recognized as 80% in the General Fund
and 20% in the Housing Authority Fund).
• Committed reserves increased by $2 million due to: a.) an increase in
natural disaster reserve of $2,600,000, b.) an increase of $2,860,000
in economic disaster reserve, and c.) a decrease of $1,441,000 in
operational carryovers.
• Pension Trust reserves of $2,000,000 and an additional contribution of
$4,540,000 for a total of $6,540,000 were used to establish a Pension
Trust Fund in 2018/19, which removed this 2017/18 committed
reserve category and established the Section 115 Trust Restricted
reserve.
• An increase of $9.5 million in assigned reserves was due to multi-year
Capital Projects ($6,856,000) and Measure G sales tax revenue
($2,552,000) and fire services trust ($111,000).
13
• Assigned to public safety represents property tax accumulated and held
in trust by the County of Riverside for fire protection, disaster
preparedness and response, fire prevention, rescue, hazardous
materials mitigation, technical rescue response, medical emergency
services, and public service assists (the County and City negotiated an
agreement wherein the County fire service property tax revenue
generated in the two former City redevelopment project areas is
pledged to the City to fund the aforementioned services). This portion
of assigned fund balance as of June 30, 2019 is $9,865,000.
• The General Fund revenues overall were $6,857,000 or 12% higher
than budgeted. The increased revenue is attributable to higher
collection of property, sales, and hotel taxes. Combined taxes collected
were $2.9 million over budget. In addition, the extraordinary gain (RDA
loan repayment and interest earned) of $795,000 was not budgeted;
these funds are recognized in unassigned reserves and reduce non-
spendable reserves each year. 80% of the extraordinary gain is
recognized in the General Fund and 20% in the Housing Authority
Fund.
• Actual expenses were $4,241,000 lower than the final budget and
$23,370,000 higher than 2017/18 expenditures. However, expenses
included non-cash transactions for the disposal of land held for resale
($2,589,000) and interfund loan write-offs of $15,017,000.
• Expense savings after these adjustments were $13,365,000 of which
$12,598,000 were carried over into 2019/20 for continuing
appropriations related to operations and Capital Improvement Projects
(CIP).
Housing Authority Fund
The Housing Authority Fund is used to account for the activities of the
Housing Authority; the Housing Authority invests in programs and projects
that preserve and increase the supply of affordable housing in the City. The
fund balance increased by $351,000 to end the year at $22,041,000.
Capital Improvement Fund
The Capital Improvement Fund is primarily used to record the expenditures
for capital projects. The fund had thirty-five (35) active Capital Improvement
Projects budgeted during 2018/19. The five most active projects were:
14
• Washington Street Apartments rehabilitation and expansion
($8,380,000)
• Citywide drainage improvements ($1,545,000)
• Madison Street widening from Avenue 50 to 52 ($1,508,000)
• Pavement Management Plan street improvements ($1,075,000)
• North La Quinta landscape improvements ($672,000)
Civic Center Fund
The Civic Center fund is primarily used to collect developer impact fees for
the 2004 City Hall expansion and to fund a portion of the debt service on the
original City Hall construction. The City Hall expansion was completed in
2007/08 and the final repayment of the original City Hall construction bonds
was made in 2018/19. The $7,106,000 million advance from the General
Fund was written off in 2018/19 (Note 19) resulting in a positive ending
restricted fund balance of $80,000.
PROPRIETARY FUNDS
The City of La Quinta's proprietary funds provide the same type of
information found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more
detail.
The financial activities of the City enterprise fund are addressed in the
discussion of the City’s business-type activities. In addition, the City has four
(4) internal service funds to accumulate resources for equipment and vehicle
replacement, information technology, insurance, and park equipment and
facility replacement.
GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
Revenue appropriations and transfers in increased by $4,917,000 between
the original ($52,297,000) and final amended budget ($57,215,000). The
main components of the increase were due to sales tax revenue which
increased by $2,090,000 and land sales of $1,384,000.
Expenditure appropriations and transfers out increased by $21,345,000
between the original ($51,153,000) and final amended budget
($72,498,000). Following are the primary changes:
15
• $9,591,000 in operational and capital improvement project carryover
appropriations from prior fiscal years to 2018/19 as approved by City
Council
• $6,540,000 added for the establishment of a Pension Trust using
previously committed General Fund reserves ($2,000,000) and
$4,540,000 from unassigned fund balance.

• $2,976,000 transfer from the General Fund to the Economic
Development Fund.

TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2019
See accompanying notes to basic financial statements.
25
Net Change in Fund Balances - Total Governmental Funds 10,840,487$
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are
different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement
of activities, the costs of those assets are allocated over their estimated useful lives
as depreciation expense. Adjustments for capital outlay, net of asset deletions and
the net depreciation expense is reported in the governmental activities.9,484,959
This issuance of long-term debt liabilities provides current financial resources in
the governmental funds, but issuing debt increases the long-term liabilities in
the statement of net position. Repayment of bond principal is an expenditure
in the governmental fund, but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the
statement of net position
Principal repayments 650,000
Capital lease activity (65,458)
Loan repayments 1,125,000 1,709,542
Accrued interest for long-term liabilities. This is the net change in accrued interest
for the current period.50,493
Compensated absences expenses reported in the statement of activities do not
require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as
expenditures in governmental funds.(118,113)
Governmental funds report OPEB contributions as expenditures. However, in the Statement
of Activities, OPEB expense is measured as the change in OPEB liability and the
amortization of deferred outflows and inflows of resources related to OPEB.
This amount represents the net change in OPEB related amounts.33,200
Pension expense recognizes the change in net pension liability and related deferred outflows and inflows of resources
and therefore is not recognized under the current resources measurement and (decreases)/increases from net position.(543,506)
Revenues reported as unavailable revenue in the governmental funds are recognized
as operating contributions and grants in the statement of activities (867,999)
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities,
such as equipment management and self-insurance, to individual funds.
The net revenues (expenses) of the internal service funds is reported with 963,419

I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Reporting Entity
The City of La Quinta (City) was incorporated May 1, 1982, under the general laws of the State of
California. In November 1996, the City became a charter City. The City operates under the Council –
Manager form of government.
The City provides many community services including public safet y, highway and street maintenance,
health and social services, cultural and leisure services, public improvements, planning and zoning services,
and community development services.
The accounting policies of the City conform to generally accepted accounting principles as applicable to
governments. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, these financial statements present
the City and its component units, which are entities for which the City is considered to be financially
accountable. The City is considered to be financially accountable for an organization if the City appoints
a voting majority of that organization’s governing body and the City is able to impose its will on that
organization or there is a potential for that organization to provide specific financial benefits to or impose
specific financial burdens on the City. The City is also considered to be financially accountable if an
organization is fiscally dependent (i.e., it is unable to adopt its budget, levy taxes, set rates or charges, or
issue bonded debt without approval from the City). In certain cases, other organizations are included as
component units if the nature and significance of their relationship with the City are such that their exclusion
would cause the City’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.
All of the City’s component units are considered to be blended component units. Blended component units,
although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the City’s operations and so data from these
units are reported with the interfund data of the primary government.
The following organizations are considered to be component units of the City:
City of La Quinta Public Financing Authority
The La Quinta Public Financing Authority (Financing Authority) was established pursuant to a Joint
Exercise of Powers Agreement dated November 19, 1991, between the City and the Former
Redevelopment Agency (now Successor Agency). The purpose of the Financing Authority is to
provide financing necessary for the construction of various public improvements through the issuance
of debt. Although the Financing Authority is legally separate, it is reported as if it were part of the City
because the City Council also serves as the governing board of the Financing Authority and the
management of the City has operational responsibility for the Financing Authority. Separate financial
statements of the Financing Authority are not prepared.
City of La Quinta Housing Authority
The La Quinta Housing Authority (Housing Authority) was established pursuant to California Housing
Authorities Law (Health and Safety Code Sections 34200 et seq.) on September 15, 2009. The purpose
of the Housing Authority is to provide safe and sanitary hous ing opportunities for La Quinta residents.
Although the Housing Authority is legally separate, it is reported as if it were part of the City because
the City Council also serves as the governing board of the Housing Authority and the management of
the City has operational responsibility for the Housing Authority. Separate financial statements of the
Housing Authority are not prepared.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
b. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The basic financial statements of the City are composed of the following:
• Government-wide financial statements
• Fund financial statements
• Notes to the financial statements
Government-wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of
activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its
component units. All fiduciary activities are reported only in the fund financial statements.
Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other
nonexchange transactions, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a
significant extent on fees and charges to external customers for support. Likewise, the primary
government is reported separately from certain legally separate component units for which the primary
government is financially accountable.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or
segments are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a
specific function or segment. Program revenues include charges for services, special assessments, and
payments made by parties outside of the reporting City’s cit izenry if that money is restricted to a
particular program. Program revenues are netted with program expenses in the statement of activities
to present the net cost of each program. Taxes and other items not properly included among program
revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are
capitalized as assets in the government-wide financial statements, rather than reported as expenditures.
Proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as a liability in the government-wide financial statements,
rather than as other financing sources. Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness of the reporting
government are reported as a reduction of the related liability, rather than as expenditures.
Fund Financial Statements
The underlying accounting system of the City is organized and operated on the basis of separate funds,
each of which is considered to be a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are
accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, deferred outflows
of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or
expenses, as appropriate. Governmental resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual
funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending
activities are controlled.
Fund financial statements for the governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary funds are presented after the
government-wide financial statements. These statements display information about major funds
individually and nonmajor funds in the aggregate for governmental and proprietary funds. Fiduciary
statements include financial information for fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds of the city primarily
represent assets held by the City in a custodial capacity for other individuals or organizations.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
c. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
Government-Wide Financial Statements
While separate government-wide and fund financial statements are presented, they are interrelated. The
governmental activities column incorporates data from governmental funds and internal service funds,
while business-type activities incorporate data from the government's enterprise funds. 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.
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement
focus basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a
liability is incurred regardless of the related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized in the year they
are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by
the providers are met.
Governmental Funds
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented using the modified-accrual basis of
accounting. Their revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available as net current
assets. Measurable means that the amounts can be estimated, or otherwise determined. Available
means that the amounts were collected during the reporting period or soon enough thereafter to be
available to finance the expenditures accrued for the reporting period. The City uses a 60-day
availability period.
Revenue recognition is subject to the measurable and availability criteria for the governmental funds
in the fund financial statements. Exchange transactions are recognized as revenues in the period in
which they are earned (i.e., the related goods or services are provided). Locally imposed delivered tax
revenues are recognized as revenues in the period in which the underlying exchange transaction on
which they are based takes place. Imposed nonexchange transactions are recognized as revenues in the
period for which they were imposed. If the period of use is not specified, they are recognized as
revenues when an enforceable legal claim to the revenues arises or when they are received, whichever
occurs first. Government-mandated and voluntary non-exchange transactions are recognized as
revenues when all applicable eligibility requirements have been met.
Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses 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.
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented using the current financial resources
measurement focus. This means that only current assets, deferred outflows of resources, current
liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources are generally included on their balance sheets. The
reported fund balance is considered to be a measure of “available spendable resources”. Governmental
fund operating statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases
(expenditures and other financing uses). Accordingly, they are said to present a summary of sources
and uses of “available spendable resources” during a period.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
c. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)
Noncurrent portions of long-term receivables due to governmental funds are reported on their balance
sheets in spite of their spending measurement focus. Special reporting treatments are used to indicate,
however, that they should not be considered “available spendable resources”, since they do not
represent net current assets. Recognition of governmental fund type revenues represented by
noncurrent receivables are deferred until they become current receivables. Noncurrent portions of other
long-term receivables are offset by fund balance reserve accounts.
Because of their spending measurement focus, expenditure recognition for governmental fund types
excludes amounts represented by noncurrent liabilities. Since they do not affect net current assets, such
long-term amounts are not recognized as governmental fund type expenditures or fund liabilities.
Amounts expended to acquire capital assets are recorded as expenditures in the year that resources were
expended, rather than as fund assets. The proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as other financing
sources rather than as a fund liability. Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness are reported as
fund expenditures.
Proprietary Funds
The City’s enterprise and internal service funds are proprietary funds. In the fund financial statements,
proprietary funds are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when
they are earned and expenses are recognized when the related goods or services are delivered. In the
fund financial statements, proprietary funds are presented using the economic resources measurement
focus. This means that all assets, all deferred outflows of resources, all liabilities, and all deferred
inflows of resources (whether current or noncurrent) associated with their activity are included on their
balance sheets. Proprietary fund type operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases
(expenses) in total net position.
Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as assets in the proprietary fund financial
statements, rather than reported as expenditures. Proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as a liability
in the proprietary fund financial statements, rather than as an other financing source. Amounts paid to
reduce long-term indebtedness of the proprietary funds are reported as a reduction of the related
liability, rather than as expenditures.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expens es from nonoperating 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 Enterprise Funds are charges to customers for sales and services.
Operating expenses for Enterprise Funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses
and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported
as nonoperating revenues and expenses.

Fiduciary Funds
The pension and private-purpose trust funds are reported using the economic resources measurement
focus and the accrual basis of accounting. The agency fund has no measurement focus but utilizes the
accrual basis of accounting for reporting its assets and liabilities.
d. Major Funds, Internal Service Funds and Fiduciary Fund Types
The City’s major governmental funds are as follows:
General Fund – This fund is the primary fund of the City and is used to account for all revenue and
expenditures of the City not legally restricted as to use. A broad range of municipal activities are
provided through this fund including City Manager, City Attorney, Finance, City Clerk, Community
Development, Police Services, Public Works, and Community Services.
Housing Authority- This fund accounts for the combined housing activities of the Housing Authority
in Project Areas 1 and 2 which promotes and provides for quality housing. Revenues will be provided
from the receipts and collections of rents, notes and loans. All monies in the Housing Authority must
be used in accordance with the applicable housing-related provisions of the California Housing
Authorities Law.
Capital Improvement Fund – This capital projects fund is used to account for the planning, design and
construction of various capital projects throughout the City.
Civic Center Fund – This fund accounts for the accumulation of resources provided through developer
fees for the acquisition, construction, or improvement of the Civic Center.
The City’s major proprietary fund is as follows:

compensation and risk management. Expenses are shared among departments on an allocation basis.
Fiduciary Funds:
Agency Fund – This fund accounts for assets held by the City as an agent for assessment district
bondholders.
Pension Trust Fund – This fund accounts for the activities of the Supplemental Pension Savings Plan,
which accumulates resources for pension benefit payments to qualified government employees.
Private-Purpose Trust Fund – This fund accounts for the assets and liabilities of the Former Agency
and its allocated revenue to pay estimated installment payments of enforceable obligations until
obligations of the Former Agency are paid in full and assets have been liquidated.
e. Assets, Deferred Outflow of Resources, Liabilities, Deferred Inflow of Resources, and Net Position or
Equity
Cash and Investments
For financial reporting purposes, investments are adjusted to their fair value. 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. All investments are valued at fair value.
The City pools cash and investments of all funds, except for assets held within the Section 115 trust
and amounts held by 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 month end cash and investment balance.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid
investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash or so near their maturity that
they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Cash equivalents
also represent the proprietary fund’s share in the City’s cash and investment pool. Cash equivalents
have an original maturity date of three months or less from the date of purchase. For purposes of the
statement of cash flows, the entire balance of cash and investments on the combined balance sheet for
the proprietary funds is considered cash and cash equivalents.

Restricted Section 115 Trust Cash and Investments
All assets in the Section 115 Trust are irrevocably dedicated to funding obligations of the City’s pension
beneficiaries, other post-employment beneficiaries or costs of administering the Trust. The funds are
not considered plan assets of either the pension plan or OPEB plan and are therefore considered
restricted assets of the City.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at cost using the first in/first out (FIFO) method. The City uses the consumption
method of accounting for inventories.
Prepaid Items
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. The City utilizes the
consumption method, in which prepaid items are accounted for in the period that the benefit was
received.
Capital Assets
Capital assets (including infrastructure) are recorded at cost where historical records are available and
at an estimated historical cost where no historical records exist. Contributed capital assets are valued
at their acquisition value at the date of the contribution. Generally, capital asset purchases in excess of
$5,000 are capitalized if they have an expected useful life of three years or more.
Capital Assets include public domain (infrastructure) consisting of certain improvements including
roads, streets, sidewalks, medians, and storm drains.
Capital assets used in operations are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line
method in the government-wide financial statements and in the fund financial statements of the
proprietary funds. Depreciation is charged as an expens e against operations and accumulated
depreciation is reported on the respective balance sheet.
The following schedule summarizes capital asset useful lives :
Building and improvements 10-30 years
Equipment and furniture 3-20 years
Vehicles 5-10 years
Infrastructure 10-50 years
Software 5-10 years

Property Taxes
Under California law, property taxes are assessed and collected by the counties up to 1 percent of
assessed value, plus other increases approved by the voters. The property taxes are recorded initially
in a pool, and are then allocated to the cities based on complex formulas. Accordingly, the City of La
Quinta accrues only those taxes that are received from the County within ninety days after year-end.
Lien date January 1
Levy date July 1
Due dates November 1 and February 1
Collection dates December 10 and April 10
Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statements of net position and the governmental fund balance sheet will
sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial
statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies
to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/ expenditure)
until then. Governmental activities recorded deferred outflows of resources related to pensions and
OPEB of $3,336,256 and $209,118, respectively.
In addition to liabilities, the statements of net position and governmental fund balance sheet will
sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement
element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future
period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City
has reported items on the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet as unavailable revenues that were not
received within the City’s availability period. Additionally, Governmental activities recorded deferred
inflows of resources related to pensions and OPEB of $1,027,528 and $39,483, respectively.
Compensated Absences
Vacation and sick time is vested on a percentage based on number of years employed at the City.
Maximum accumulation of sick and vacation is 40 and 60 days, respectively.
Upon termination or retirement, permanent employees are entitled to receive compensation at their
current base salary for all unused vacation leave. If an employee terminates with a minimum of two
years’ service, the employee is entitled to receive 25 percent of the value of his unused sick leave. The
percentage increases by 25 percent for each five-year period until the employee is entitled to 100
percent of the value of their unused sick leave. This will occur upon the completion of twenty years of
continuous employment. The General Fund resources are used to pay for the accumulated benefits to
employees.

Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary 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 position. Bond premiums and
discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method.
Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount.
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.
Fund Balance
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report the following fund balance classifications:
Nonspendable includes 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 includes 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.
Committed includes amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints
imposed by formal action of the City’s highest authority, the City Council. The formal action that is
required to be taken to establish, modify, or rescind a fund balance commitment is by a resolution.
Assigned includes amounts that are constrained by the City’s intent to be used for specific purposes,
but are neither restricted nor committed. City Council is authorized to assign amounts to a specific
purpose. The City Council authorizes assigned amounts for specific purposes pursuant to the policy-
making powers granted through a resolution.
Unassigned includes the residual amounts that have not been restricted, committed, or assigned to
specific purposes. The general fund is the only fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance.

Fund Balance Flow Assumptions – governmental fund financial statements
Sometimes the City of La Quinta will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and
unrestricted resources (the total of committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance). In order to
calculate the amounts to report as restricted, committ ed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance in the
governmental fund financial statements a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the
resources are considered to be applied.
It is the City’s policy to consider restricted fund balance to have been depleted before using any of the
components of unrestricted fund balance. Further, when the components of unrestricted fund balance
can be used for the same purpose, committed fund balance is depleted first, followed by assigned fund
balance. Unassigned fund balance is applied last.
Net Position Flow Assumption – government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements
Sometimes the City of La Quinta will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted (e.g.,
restricted bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report
as restricted net position and unrestricted net position in the government-wide and proprietary fund
financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are
considered to be applied. It is the City’s policy to consider restricted net position to have been depleted
before unrestricted net position is applied.
f. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of cont ingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
g. New Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted in the Current Year
GASB Statement No. 83 – In November 2016, GASB issued Statement No. 83, Certain Asset Retirement
Obligations. The objective of this Statement is to provide financial statement users with information about

Investments Authorized by the City Section 115 Trust
Investments of the Trust are governed by the provisions of the City of La Quinta Section 115 Trust Agreement,
rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code or the City’s investment policy. Investments
authorized for funds held in the Section 115 Trust include Equit y and Fixed Income Mutual Funds. The strategic
range allowed for Equity and Fixed Income Mutual Funds is 5%-20% and 60%-95%, respectively. There are no
limitations on the maximum amount that can be invested in one issuer or the maximum maturity of an investments.
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.
One of the ways that the City manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of short ter m
and long term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing
or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for
operations.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City’s investments (including investments held by bond
trustee) to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution of the City’s
investments by maturity:

Disclosures Relating to 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 commercial paper and money market mutual funds to those rated
the highest rating as rated by Moody’s or Standard and Poor’s (S&P). Presented below are the S&P ratings as of

Custodial Credit Risk
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 its 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 (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its
investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code and
the City’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial
credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The California Government
Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging
securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the
governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110 percent
of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure City
deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150 percent of the secured public deposits, or
by letters of credit issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco having a value of 105 percent of the
secured public deposits.

accommodated upon request.
Investment in Riverside County Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the Riverside County Pooled Investment Fund that is regulated by California
Government Code Section 53646 and managed by the Riverside County Treasurer. The City’s investment in this
pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements of net position and prepared using the accrual basis of
accounting. Investments are reported at fair value. The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting
records maintained by the County.
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 accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the City’s pro-
rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the ent ire LAIF portfolio (in relations 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. Deposits and withdrawals are made on the basis of $1 and not fair value.
Accordingly, the City’s measurement of fair value of its investment with LAIF is based on uncategorized inputs,
not defined as a level 1, level 2, or level 3 input. LAIF is not registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and is not rated.
Investment in California Asset Management Program
The City is a voluntary participant in the California As set Management Program (CAMP) that is regulated by the
California Government Code Section 53601 (p) and managed by a Board of Trustees comprised of finance directors
and treasurers of California public agencies that are members of the Joint Powers Authority. The City’s investment
in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements of net position and prepared using the accrual basis
of accounting. Investments are reported at fair value. The balance available for withdrawal is based on the
accounting records maintained by CAMP.
Fair Value Measurements
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted
accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable
inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. Investments categorized as Level 2 are valued using the
market approach and quoted market prices.

NOTE 8: DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN
Miscellaneous Plan
Plan Description
All qualified employees are eligible to participate in the City’s Miscellaneous Employee Pension Plan, a cost-
sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plans administered by the California Public Employees’
Retirement System (CalPERS). Benefit provisions under these plans are established by State statute and City
resolution. CalPERS issues publicly available reports that include a full description of the pension plans regarding
benefit provision, assumption and membership information. Copies of the report can be found on the CalPERS
website.
Benefits Provided
CalPERS provides service retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments and death benefits
to plan members, who must be public employees and beneficiaries. Benefits are based on years of credited service,
equal to one year of full time employment. Members with five years of total service are eligible to retire at age 50
with statutorily reduced benefits. All members are eligible for non-duty disability benefits after 10 years of service.
The death benefit is one of the following: The Basic Death Benefit, the 1959 Survivor Benefit, or the Optional
Settlement 2W Death Benefit. The cost of living adjustments for each plan are applied as specified by the Public
Employees’ Retirement Law. The Plan’s provisions and benefits in effect at June 30, 2019 are summarized as

Contributions
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL) requires that the employer
contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective
on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. Funding contributions are determined annually on an actuarial
basis as of June 30th by CalPERS. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount necessary to finance the
costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, and any unfunded accrued liability. The employer is required
to contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees.
Employer contributions to the pension plan were $1,299,600 for the year ended June 30, 2019.

Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense and Deferred Outflows and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions
As of June 30, 2019, the City reported a liability of $12,403,691 for its proportionate share of the collective net
pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2018, and the total pension liability used to
calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2017, and rolled forward
to June 30, 2018. The City’s proportion of the collective net pension liability was based on a projection of the
City’s long-term share of contributions to the pension plan relative to the projected contributions of all participating
employers, actuarially determined. The City’s proportion of the collective net pension liability as of June 30, 2017

NOTE 8: DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN (CONTINUED)
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Used to Determine Total Pension Liability
For the measurement period ended June 30, 2018 (the measurement date), the total pension liability was determined
by rolling forward the June 30, 2017 total pension liability. The total pension liability in the June 30, 2017 actuarial
valuation was determined using the following actuarial methods and assumptions:
Miscellaneous
Valuation Date June 30, 2017
Measurement Date June 30, 2018
Actuarial Cost Method
Discount Rate 7.15%
Inflation 2.50%
Payroll Growth 3.00%
Projected Salary Increase Varies by Entry Age and Service
Investment Rate of Return 7.15%
Mortality Rate Table Derived using CalPERS' Membership Data for all Fund
Entry-Age Normal Cost Method
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.15 percent. The projection of cash flows used to
determine the discount rate assumed that employee contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and
that the City’s contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined
contributions rates and the employee rate. Based on those assumptions, each pension plan’s fiduciary net position
was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current active and inactive employees.
Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected
benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
In determining the long-term expected percent rate of return on pension plan investments, CalPERS took into
account both short and long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Based
on the expected benefit payments of the Public Employees’ Retirement Fund, CalPERS indicated that a 19 year
horizon was ideal in determining the level equivalent discount rate assumption. Using historical returns of all the
funds’ asset classes, expected compound (geometric) returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10 years)
and the long-term (11-60 years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns for both
short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected rate of return
was then set equivalent to the single equivalent rate calculated above and rounded down to the nearest one quarter
of one percent. The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class
are the same for the Plan. These geometric rates of return are summarized in the following table:

was established as a means to set aside monies to fund the City’s pension and OPEB obligations. Contributions to
the Section 115 Trust are irrevocable, the assets are dedicated to providing benefits to plan member, and the assets
are protected from creditors of the City. The purpose of the creation of the section 115 Trust was to address the
City’s pension obligations by accumulating assets to reduce the net pension liability. However, in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, the assets in the Section 115 Trust are not considered to have present
service capacity as plan assets and are therefore considered restricted assets of the City rather than pension plan
assets. Accordingly, the Section 115 Trust’s assets are recorded as restricted for pension benefits in the City’s
General Fund rather than assets of the pension plan during the measurement of the net pension liability. The assets
held in trust will be considered pension plan assets at the time they are transferred out of the Trust into the pension

NOTE 12: RISK MANAGEMENT
Description of Self-Insurance Pool Pursuant to Joint Powers Agreement
The City of La Quinta is a member of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA). The CJPIA is
composed of 116 California public entities and is organized under a joint powers agreement pursuant to California
Government Code §6500 et seq. The purpose of the CJPIA 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 CJPIA 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.
Self-Insurance Programs of the CJPIA
Each member pays an annual contribution at the beginning of the coverage period. A retrospective adjustment is
then conducted annually thereafter, for coverage years 2012-13 and prior. Coverage years 2013-14 and forward are
not subject to routine annual retrospective adjustment. The total funding requirement for self-insurance programs
is based on actuarial analysis. Costs are allocated to individual agencies based on payroll and claims history, relative
to other members of the risk-sharing pool.
Primary Liability Program
In the liability program claims are pooled separately between police and general government 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 from $750,000 to $50 million, are distributed based on
the outcome of cost allocation within the first and second loss layers.
The overall coverage limit for each member, including all layers of coverage, is $50 million per occurrence. Costs
of covered claims for subsidence losses have a sub-limit of $40 million per occurrence.

Workers’ Compensation
In the workers’ compensation program claims are pooled separately between public safety (police and fire) and
general government 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 from $100,000
to statutory limits are distributed based on the outcome of cost allocation within the first and second loss layers .
For 2018-19, the CJPIA’s pooled retention is $2 million per occurrence, with reinsurance to statutory limits 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.
Purchased Insurance
Pollution Legal Liability Insurance – The City of La Quinta participates in the pollution legal liability insurance
program which is available through the Authority. The policy covers sudden and gradual pollution of scheduled
property, streets, and storms drains owned by the City of La Quinta. Coverage is on a claims-made basis. There is
a $50,000 deductible. The Authority has an aggregate limit of $50 million for the 3-year period from July 1, 2017
through July 1, 2020. Each member of the Authority has a $10 million sub-limit during the 3-year policy term.
Property Insurance - The City of La Quinta participates in the all-risk property protection program of the CJPIA.
This insurance protection is underwritten by several insurance companies. City of La Quinta property is currently
insured according to a schedule of covered property submitt ed by the City of La Quinta to the CJPIA. City of La
Quinta property currently has all-risk property insurance protection in the amount of $72,715,239. There is a
$10,000 deductible per occurrence except for non-emergency vehicle insurance which has a $2,500 deductible.
Special Event Tenant User Liability Insurance – The City of La Quinta further protects against liability damages
by requiring tenant users of certain property to purchase low-cost tenant user liability insurance for certain activities
on agency property. The insurance premium is paid by the tenant user and is paid to the City of La Quinta according
to a schedule. The City of La Quinta then pays for the insurance. The insurance is facilitated by the Authority.
Earthquake and Flood Insurance - The City of La Quinta purchases earthquake and flood insurance on a portion of
its property. The earthquake insurance is part of the property protection insurance program of the Authority. City
of La Quinta property currently has earthquake protection in the amount of $0. There is a deductible of 5% per unit
of value with a minimum deductible of $100,000.
Crime Insurance - The City of La Quinta purchases crime insurance coverage in the amount of “Non Participant”
with a “Non Participant” deductible. The fidelity coverage is provided through the Authority.
Adequacy of Protection
During the past three fiscal years, none of the above programs of protection experienced settlements or judgments
that exceeded pooled or insured coverage.

a. Fund Balance Commitments
In the governmental fund financial statements, committed reserves include:
Natural Disaster Emergency Reserves: These funds may be us ed for the preparation, recovery, and
restoration of services before, during and/or after a natural disaster (such as flood, earthquake, etc.) as
defined by City Code 2.20.020.
The target is $10,000,000 and will be reviewed every five years by conducting a risk analysis of all City
assets, insurance levels, and potential federal/state contributions towards disaster recovery efforts. For the
year ended June 30, 2019, the City has committed $10,000,000 for this purpose.
Economic Downturn Reserves: These funds may be used in such instances as a declared national, state, or
regional recession; loss of a major (top 10) revenue-generating business; or a natural disaster resulting in a
significant decline in revenues. These reserves may also be used if overall revenues decrease or
expenditures increase more than 10% of the previous year’s actual revenues or expenditures.
The target is $11,000,000, based on a 10-year analysis of the revenues and expenditure flows (which
included the financial impacts of the Great Recession). The target will be evaluated again in the event of
another significant economic downturn. For the year ended June 30, 2019, the City has committed
$11,000,000.
Cash Flow Reserves: These funds are maintained to have adequate cash on hand to account for the uneven
receipt of revenue. For example, property tax accounts for a large percentage of annual revenue, the bulk
of which is not remitted until December and May of each year.
The target is $5,000,000 and will be determined annually by analyzing the prior fiscal year by month and
calculating the largest cumulative deficit between revenues and expenditures, with a minimum expectation
of approximately 10% of operating expenditures reserved. The cash flow reserve is fully funded as of
June 30, 2019.
Capital Improvement Reserves: These funds may be used for capital assets and infrastructure rehabilitation,
improvement, and replacement.
The target is $10,000,000 and is based on annual depreciation of assets. For the year ended June 30, 2019,
the City has committed $5,000,000.
Committed to Fiscal Year 2019-2020 carryovers totaled $745,300 at June 30, 2019.

NOTE 17: SUCCESSOR AGENCY TRUST FOR ASSETS OF FORMER REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY
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 La Quinta 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 3, 2011, the City Council elected to become the Successor Agency for
the Former Redevelopment Agency (‘Former Agency”) in accordance with the Bill as part of City resolution
number 2012-002.
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).
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 Agency until all enforceable
obligations of the prior redevelopment agency have been paid in full and all assets have been liquidated.
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.
The Successor Agency to the Former Agency is reported as a fiduciary fund (private purpose trust fund).

Cash and investments reported in the accompanying financial statements consisted of the following:
Cash and investments pooled with the City 36,573,141$
Cash and investments with fiscal agent 1,675

b. Loans Receivable
Owner Participation Agreement – Garff Properties, LLC
In July 2010, the Former Agency entered into an Owner Participation Agreement (OPA) with Garff
Properties-La Quinta, LLC (“Garff”) that provides for the Former Agency to provide a rehabilitation loan
to Garff of up to $2,300,000 for the construction of a new auto dealership facility and rehabilitation of an
existing dealership facility. In connection with the OPA, Garff has executed a promissory note which is
secured by a deed of trust, and an operating covenant. The loan will be repaid by crediting future sales and
property tax increment taxes generated on the site until the cumulative taxes collected equals the loan
amount. At that time, the note will be cancelled, and the operating covenant will terminate.

If, after ten years of operation, a shortfall exists between the revenues collected and the outstanding loan
amount, the note will be cancelled, and the operating covenant will terminate. Further, if at any time
through no fault of the dealership certain future events outside of the dealership control occur the note will
be cancelled, and the operating covenant will terminate. The balance at June 30, 2019 is $276,589.
Owner Participation Agreement – Torre Nissan
In June 2011, the Former Agency entered into an Owner Participation Agreement (OPA) with an auto
dealer, Mega Dealer, LLC (“Torre Nissan”) that provides for the Former Agency to provide a rehabilitation
loan to Torre Nissan of up to $1,500,000 for the remodeling of the existing dealership and an expansion of
the dealership facility to accommodate a new line of electric and commercial vehicles. The new expansion
will also include service and parts sales facilities. In connection with the OPA, Torre Nissan has executed
a promissory note, which is secured by a subordinated deed of trust, and an operating covenant. The loan
will be repaid by crediting future sales and property tax increment taxes generated on the site until the
cumulative taxes collected equals the loan amount. If Nissan Motor Company ceases to exist, the note will
be cancelled, and the operating covenant will terminate. At the end of the ten-year operating covenant, the
operating covenant will terminate, and the note will be cancelled, and any outstanding loan balance will be
forgiven. The balance at June 30, 2019 is $1,005,517.
c. Due from other Governments
La Quinta Library
In April 2005, an advance of $2,490,273 was made from the former redevelopment agency to provide
funding for the construction of the public library. The loan accrues interest at the earnings rate of the City’s
investment pool fund. The remaining balance of this loan at June 30, 2019, is $1,548,436.
d. Deferred Outflows of Resources
As debt is refunded, the difference between the carrying value of the refunded debt and the reacquisition
price is recorded as a deferred outflow of resources and amortized over the shorter of the new or refunded
debt, whichever is shorter. Activity during the fiscal year is comprised of the following:

Loans from the City of La Quinta
The City of La Quinta loaned money to the Former Agency to cover operating and capital shortfalls. In a
letter dated November 6, 2013, the California Department of Finance approved the loans as enforceable
obligations to be paid through Successor Agency property tax. This loan approved split between the City’s
General and the Housing Authority Funds. As of June 30, 2019, principal and interest due to the City of
La Quinta was $34,894,713.
On November 22, 2017, the Department of Finance (DOF) approved the last and final Recognized
Obligation Payment Schedules (ROPS). The ROPS is a comprehensive schedule which includes all bond
debt service payments, City loan repayments, administration, and annual reporting requirements from fiscal
years 2018-2019 to 2039-2040.
f. Pledged Tax Revenues
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 $262,514,800 with annual debt
service requirements as indicated above. For the current year, the total property tax revenue recognized by
the Successor Agency for the payment of indebtedness incurred was $20,664,124 and the debt service
obligation on the bonds was $17,368,061.

NOTE 18: EXTRAORDINARY ITEM
Annual loan repayments of the loan between the City and the Successor Agency are first applied to principal then
interest and when received are allocated 80 percent General Fund and 20 percent Housing Authority Fund. The
interest accrued on the adjusted principal amount is reflected as an extraordinary gain by the City and an
extraordinary loss in the Successor Agency. The Department of Finance approval of the last and final ROPS
increased the quarterly interest rate (from 3% to 4%, since the inception of the loan in November 2006). The interest
due as of June 30, 2019 was $12,141,458.
NOTE 19: SPECIAL ITEM
In previous years, the City had four outstanding interfund loans, totaling $15,017,126. These interfund loans were
established from 2003 to 2009 and are irregular and non-recurring. They were established to supplement the
construction costs associated with the development of major infrastructure which could have been funded with
restricted DIF funds, should they have been available at the time. Since inception, the City has reported the
outstanding loan balances in annual financial statements as Advances from Other Funds.
The repayment terms and collectability of these loans wer e evaluated by Staff and confirmed with the City’s 2019
Development Impact Fee analysis. Results were presented to the Financial Advisory Commission who in
conjunction with Staff recommended City Council approve the early retirement of these interfund loans resulting

Notes:
(1)The tax increment received was a result of the activity of the Redevelopment Agency. On June 28, 2011, California Governor Jerry Brown
signed ABx1 26, the Redevelopment Dissolution Act. The Act was upheld by the California Supreme Court on Dec. 29, 2011, and the agency
was effectively dissolved Feb. 1, 2012.
(2) Starting in 2017, the revenue collected by the County that is remitted to the City for fire services was included in the property tax number.

(1)Other includes dry farm, government owned, institutional, irrigated, miscellaneous, recreational, vacant, cross reference and unknown. For 2016, prior years 2007
through 2015 were adjusted to match current reporting categories for consistency.
(2)Prior years 2007 through 2015 adjusted to match current reporting for consistency.
(3)In 1978 the voters of the State of California passed Proposition 13 which limited property taxes to a total maximum rate of 1% based upon the assessed value of the
property being taxed. Each year, the assessed value of property may be increased by an "inflation factor" (limited to a maximum increase of 2%). With few exceptions,
property is only re-assessed at the time that it is sold to a new owner; at which time the new assessed value is the purchase price of the property sold. The assessed
valuation data shown above represents the only data currently available with respect to the actual market value of taxable property and is subject to the limitations
described above.
(4)In 2016 (and going forward) data will be obtained from California Municipal and The Assessor Controller's Office. The existing column headers were slightly modified to
accommodate the property type classifications. The column labeld agriculture was formerly "industrial".
(5)Prior to 2015, this column also included Exempt Property Valuations

Total Collections to Date
Collections within the Fiscal
Year of Levy
Notes:
(1)Taxes Levied. The total tax levy is based on the Statement of Original Charge from the Riverside County Auditor-
Controller Office. The amounts presented include City property taxes for tax districts 02-2374 and 02-2375 and are not
inclusive of the redevelopment increment values.
(2)Collections in Subsequent Years. The City participates in the Riverside County Teeter program; the secured taxes are
remitted in a series of advances and settlement payments, the last of which is not received by the City until October of
the subsequent year. Additionally, the City receives remittances for prior year throughout the subsequent year. As
these values are not known at the time of publishing, the number in this column will be adjusted on the 18-19 CAFR to
reflect all prior year collections received.
(3)Collections to Date. The total amount does not include any apportionment adjustments that are the result of
successful appeals of a taxpayer assessed valuation, escaped bills, refunds, or any other adjustments made by the
County Auditor-Controller. As such, the percentage of the levy collected may be higher or lower than expected.
Additionally, the increment values of the former Redevelopment Agency are allocated through a waterfall distribution
process in accordance with California Health and Safety Code 34183 and 34188, and are not reflected on the Statement
of Original Charge.

Notes:
(1) Total assessed valuation is from the Equalized Assessor report which includes homeowner exemptions.
(2)For debt repaid with property taxes, the percentage of overlapping debt applicable is estimated using taxable assessed property values. Applicable percentages
were estimated by determining the portion of the overlapping district's taxable assessed value that is within the city's boundaries divided by the district's total
taxable assessed value.
(3)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. 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.
