Year-End Report and Audit Summary
FY 2010-11
General Fund and Other City Funds
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to summarize the results of the City’s audited financial statements for
the year ending June 30, 2011 (Fiscal Year 2010-11). The City Charter requires an independent,
certified public accounting firm to audit the end-of-year financial statements. Preparation and
responsibility for the financial statements rests with the City, and the independent auditor
expresses an opinion about the statements based on their testing and review.
The firm of Moss, Levy & Hartzheim LLP performed the audit of the FY 2010-11 financial
statements. This was the first year of their contract with the City. In the Independent Auditor’s
Report included in the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), Moss, Levy &
Hartzheim LLP report that the City’s financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the City as of June 30, 2011. This report can be found on pages 1-2 of the
CAFR.
The CAFR includes both government-wide financial statements, as well as the more traditional
fund-level financial statements. The requirement for the government-wide financial statements are
a result of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, implemented by
Culver City in FY 2003-04. The idea behind government-wide statements was to collapse all of the
various activities of the governmental entity into a single ‘snapshot’ view, so that the overall
financial health and condition of the entity could be more easily understood by investors and other
readers of the financial statements. However, this government-wide view does not easily relay to
the reader the financial position of those monies where the City has wide discretion versus those
where it has very little discretion. This information is more easily understood from the traditional
fund-level financial statements. For this reason, this report is based on the fund-level financial
statements. Those interested in more information on the government-wide financial statements
should refer to pages 3 through 21 of the CAFR.
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have
been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local
governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related
legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided into three categories: governmental
funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental funds are used to account for functions that are principally supported by taxes and
intergovernmental revenues. The City maintains 31 individual governmental funds. These funds
are further categorized into special revenue funds, capital projects funds, debt service funds and
the general fund. Special revenue funds typically are used where there is a legal or other
requirement to separately track certain types of funding. Capital projects funds are used to
account for capital or infrastructure improvements. Debt service funds account for the issuance
and repayment of debt. All other governmental activities, not required to be accounted for
2
2
separately, are handled through the City’s General Fund. This is the fund for which the City
Council has the most discretion, and includes most of the core operating activities that are familiar
to citizens, such as Police, Fire, Park & Recreation, Public Works, general governmental activities,
etc.
Proprietary funds account primarily for functions that are intended to recover all or a significant
portion of their costs through user fees and charges. There are two types of proprietary funds:
enterprise funds and internal service funds. Enterprise funds can be considered business-type
activities, and are used to account for the Culver City Bus Line, the refuse (solid waste) utility and
the sewer utility. Internal service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate
costs internally among the City’s various functions. Internal service funds are used by the City to
account for self-insurance activities, vehicle operations and maintenance, equipment replacement
and central stores functions.
This report will spend the most time discussing the General Fund, since this is the fund that faces
the most financial pressure based on the overall economy and other factors. The other fund types
will be discussed first. The focus of this report is on the actual results for FY 2010-11, and it does
not look forward to the current or future fiscal years. This will occur in the upcoming FY 2011-12
Mid-Year Budget Report.
ENTERPRISE FUND SUMMARY
The table below summarizes the financial results for the City’s three enterprise funds for FY 2010-
11:
Beginning
Net Assets
Total
Revenue &
Transfers Expenses
Ending Net
Assets
Unrestricted
Net Assets
Refuse Disposal Fund 656,067 11,730,436 10,599,045 1,787,458 529,321
Municipal Bus Lines Fund 30,582,638 18,820,580 18,852,389 30,550,829 4,685,028
Sewer Enterprise Fund 43,326,177 7,725,059 7,053,043 43,998,193 26,349,371
The financial condition of the Refuse Disposal fund improved, as the net assets of the fund were
increased by approximately $1 million. Unrestricted net assets of the fund (assets not restricted by
outside sources or invested in capital), ended in a positive position for the second straight year.
For many years prior, the unrestricted net assets of this fund had been in a negative position.
The Municipal Bus Lines Fund had expenses almost equal to revenue and transfers. This was an
improvement after several years of reduced federal support caused the fund to operate at a deficit.
Based on the somewhat unpredictable nature of certain funding sources, it is important to keep
careful watch on this fund to ensure expenses are aligned with incoming resources. There is
approximately $4.7 million in unrestricted net assets available to support the fund, but this number
has reduced rather significantly in recent years ($8.5 million as of June 30, 2009).
The Sewer Enterprise Fund continues to operate in a financially healthy manner, with revenues
and transfers exceeding expenses. The $26.3 million in unrestricted net assets appear high,
3
3
however the Capital Improvement Plan for the next five years includes $27 million in projects to
improve or replace components of the Sewer system.
INTERNAL SERVICE FUND SUMMARY
The table below represents the financial results for the City’s four internal service funds for FY
2010-11:
Beginning
Net Assets
Total
Revenue &
Transfers Expenses
Ending Net
Assets
Unrestricted
Net Assets
Equipment Replacement Fund 16,015,049 839,277 1,354,577 15,499,749 8,256,313
Fleet Maintenance Fund (1,080,942) 6,657,562 6,673,361 (1,096,741) (1,101,663)
Risk Management Fund (10,659,529) 6,812,685 11,108,522 (14,955,366) (14,955,366)
Central Stores Fund 420,426 1,397,284 1,380,873 436,837 436,837
The Equipment Replacement Fund is used to amortize and ultimately replace City equipment,
primarily vehicles. The expenses can vary significantly from year to year based on what
equipment is being replaced.
The Fleet Maintenance Fund has ended the year in a negative position for several years. The
purpose of this fund is to allocate the repair and maintenance charges of the City’s fleet out to the
departments where the vehicles are in service. Staff has done some analysis and determined a
few items charged to the fund have not been allocated out to departments historically, leading to
the negative position of the fund. Over the next few years, charges to departments will be slightly
increased to close the gap, and staff will monitor the situation going forward to ensure all expenses
are charged out.
The Risk Management Fund has historically carried a negative fund position. In addition to actual
expenses paid out for claims, judgments, attorneys, insurance premiums, etc., the fund also
records the estimates for future claims and judgments as an expense. The City is not is a position
to fully fund future estimated claims, so this fund will continue in an overall negative position. The
fund has adequate cash flows to pay current costs based on its charge outs.
The Central Stores Fund accounts for the inventory of certain items that are used by departments
frequently, and where it is more economical to purchase in bulk and then distribute the items as
needed. Items are purchased and then ‘sold’ to the department that uses them. Much of the
inventory carried supports the fleet maintenance function. The fund continues to operate in a
positive position.
SPECIAL REVENUE FUND SUMMARY
The City currently utilizes nineteen special revenues funds to account for various resources that
are restricted in use. The monies accounted for in these funds are unavailable for discretionary
City funding. Two sizable new special revenue funds created in FY 2010-11 are the Economic
Development Fund and the Housing Fund. These funds were created as a result of the
4
4
Governor’s proposal to eliminate redevelopment agencies. The City and Agency took a variety of
steps to secure assets, which included a series of Cooperation Agreements between the two
entities where the City would carry out certain redevelopment projects with funding provided by the
Agency. The existing assets of the Agency at that time were transferred to various funds within the
City to carry out these Cooperation Agreements. The Economic Development Fund and Housing
Fund were two such funds.
With two exceptions, all special revenue funds ended the year with a positive fund balance. The
Operating Grants Fund typically shows a negative year-end balance, as it accounts for many
reimbursable activities where funds have been spent but have not yet been received. The Parking
Authority Fund was also newly created in FY 2010-11, and ended the year with a slightly negative
balance.
The table below represents the summarized financial activity for the various special revenue funds.
Below the table is a brief description of the purpose of each fund.

Proposition A, approved by voters in 1980, is a one-half of one percent (0.5%) tax on retail sales in
Los Angeles County. The collection of this tax is administered by the County, which returns twenty
five percent (25%) of the collections to cities within the County. The balance of Proposition A tax

transportation projects and programs. The Transportation and Public Works departments utilize the
majority of this funding.
Proposition 1B Fund is used to account for funds received for a Transportation Infrastructure Bond
approved in November 2006 by California voters. Proposition 1B is a $2 billion dollar bond that is
apportioned to each City based on population. Funds can be used for improvements to
transportation facilities, projects that will assist in reducing local traffic congestion and for further
deterioration of transportation infrastructure, and projects that will improve traffic flows or increase
traffic safety that may include, but are not limited to, street and highway pavement maintenance,
rehabilitation, installation, construction and reconstruction of necessary associated facilities such
as drainage and traffic control devices, or the maintenance, rehabilitation, installation, construction
and reconstruction of facilities that expand ridership on transit systems, safety projects to reduce
fatalities, or as local match to obtain state or federal transportation for similar purposes.
Proposition 42 Fund is used to account for funds received by the City through the Traffic
Congestion Relief Act (TCRA) Exchange Program based on established guidelines adopted in
February 2001. The TCRA Exchange Program is intended to increase flexibility in the use of State

During FY 2010-11, the Redevelopment Agency issued additional debt, which increased the
amount of required reserves held by third-party fiscal agent. This is the reason for the increase in
fund balance.
GENERAL FUND
General Fund Overview
? Total revenues were $95,607,765. This included $15,788,254 in one-time, non-recurring
revenues.
? Operating revenue was $79,819,511, up 1.1% from the prior year.
? Total expenditures were $84,185,389, which included $4,525,962 in one-time, non-recurring
expenditures.
? Operating expenditures were $79,659,427, down 2.7% from the prior year.
? Operating revenues exceeded operating expenditures by $160,084.
? The primary explanation for the slight operating surplus was significant expenditure savings
versus the budget. Actual expenditures were approximately $3.5 million less than the
budget, much of that due to personnel savings from the hiring freeze that was instituted.
? The primary source of one-time revenue was the $14,110,004 sale of the Cardiff parking
structure.

FISCAL YEAR 2010-11
GENERAL FUND REVENUE SUMMARY
General Fund revenues slightly exceeded the FY 2010-11 budget by 1%. Revenue categories that
performed under budget, such as Property Tax, Utility Users’ Tax, Charges for Services and Use of
Money and Property, were offset by categories that exceeded the budget, such as Sales Tax,
Business Tax, Real Property Transfer Tax, Transient Occupancy Tax and Fines and Forfeits.
Total General Fund revenues for FY 2010-11 were significantly higher that FY 2009-10 (118%).
However, after correcting for the one-time revenue of $14.1 million due to the sale of the Cardiff
parking structure (included in Other Revenues), total revenues were almost equivalent between
the two years. The positive news is that recurring revenues such as Sales Tax, Business Tax,
10

Utility Users’ Tax and Transient Occupancy Tax increased to offset one-time interfund transfers
that occurred in FY 2009-10 to assist with balancing the budget.

VS. FY09-10
Overall, General Fund expenditures were $84,185,390, or 96.0% of appropriations. Of the
approximate $3.5 million expenditure savings versus the budget, $1.9 million was due to personnel
cost savings, $1.3 million was due to savings in operations and maintenance accounts, and $0.3
million was savings in other accounts. The personnel cost savings were primarily achieved by a
hiring freeze that held a number of positions vacant. These are viewed as one-time savings
because the positions and associated appropriations authority still exist in the budget. If some or
all of the positions are ultimately eliminated from the budget, this will translate into on-going
savings.
General Fund expenditures for FY 2010-11 were 1.9% (approximately $1.5 million) greater than
FY 2009-10. However, the FY 2010-11 total includes a $4 million transfer to the Capital
Improvement & Acquisitions Fund that was approved by the City Council to increase funding for
infrastructure projects and to replace the City’s financial system. Excluding this one-time transfer,
expenditures were actually 3% lower in FY 2010-11 than the prior year. Again, this was due
primarily to personnel cost savings.

11
Nearly all departments were successful in achieving both current year budget savings as well as
spending less than the prior year.
CONCLUSION
Generally, Culver City finished FY 2010-11 with positive financial results. Like virtually all
California cities, Culver City was hard-hit by the recession. For the General Fund, FY 2010-11
showed some positive signs in several revenue categories. The City was also successful in
limiting expenditures by holding positions vacant. However, the Five-Year Forecast continues to
show significant deficits and depletions of the General Fund Reserve. The recent court decision to
uphold the elimination of redevelopment agencies has added further significant pressure. This will
be discussed more during the FY 2011-12 Mid-Year Budget Report, as well as during the
development of the FY 2012-13 budget.

December 27, 2011
Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council, and the citizens of Culver City:
It is our pleasure to submit the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the City of
Culver City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. Responsibility for the accuracy of the
presented data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures,
rests with the City. In our opinion, the data is accurate in all material aspects, is presented in a
manner designed to fairly set forth the financial position and results of operations of the City, and
contains all disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the City's
financial affairs.
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP) as promulgated by the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB). This
report consists of management's representations concerning the finances of the City of Culver
City, California. Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and
reliability of all of the information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for
making these representations, management of the City has established a comprehensive internal
control framework that is designed both to protect the City's assets from loss, theft or misuse and
to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City's financial statements in
conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits,
the City's comprehensive framework of internal controls have been designed to provide
reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from material
misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this
financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects.
The City's financial statements have been audited by Moss, Levy & Hartzheim LLC., a public
accounting firm fully licensed and qualified to perform audits of the State and local governments
within the State of California. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable
assurance that the financial statements of the City of Culver City, California for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2011, are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent
auditors concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an
unqualified opinion that the City of Culver City, California's financial statements for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2011, are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditors'
report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
This CAFR is legally required by the City Charter, various bond covenants, and a number of
granting agencies. The independent audit of the financial statements of the City was part of a
broader, federally mandated "Single Audit" designed to meet the special needs of the Federal
grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Audit engagements require the independent
auditor to report not only on the fair presentation of the financial statements, but also on the
audited government's internal controls and compliance with legal requirements, with special
emphasis on internal controls and legal requirements involving the administration of Federal
awards. These reports are available in the City's separately issued Single Audit Report.
GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview and analysis to
accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management's Discussion and Analysis
(MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in
21
VI
conjunction with it. The City's MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the
independent auditors in the financial section of the CAFR.
Profile of the City of Culver City
The City of Culver City, located on the Westside of Los Angeles County, California, was
incorporated in 1917. The City Charter, which was adopted in 1947, establishes the form of
government, states the powers and duties of the City Council, and establishes various City
offices. The City operates under a Mayor/City Council-City Manager form of government. Under
this system, the people elect a City Council of five citizens who serve a term of four years and
who, in turn, elect the Mayor from among themselves. The City Council appoints the City
Manager, City Attorney, Police Chief and Fire Chief. Other department heads are appointed by
the City Manager.
Culver City is a full-service City, serving a resident population of 40,000 and a daytime population
of approximately 60,000|1010|. Services provided include police, fire, general maintenance, public
improvements, planning and zoning, refuse collection, municipal bus lines, park, recreation and
community services, and general administrative services.
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City financial planning and control. The City
Council is required to adopt an annual budget resolution by July 1 of each fiscal year for the
General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, and Debt Service Fund. It also adopts a project life
budget for Capital Projects Funds and an operating plan for Proprietary Funds. These budgets
are adopted and presented for reporting purposes on a basis consistent with generally accepted
accounting principles.
The City of Culver City is also financially accountable for the legally separate Culver City
Redevelopment Agency and the Culver City Redevelopment Financing Authority, which are
blended into the City’s financial statements. Additional information on all three of these entities
can be found in Note 1 of the Notes to the Financial Statements.
The level of appropriated budgetary control is the total adopted budget, which is defined as the
total budget for all funds and divisions and includes all revisions and amendments approved by
the City Council subsequent to the initial budget adoption. The City Manager may authorize
transfers of appropriations within the adopted budget. Supplemental appropriations during the
year must be approved by the City Council, with certain exceptions delegated to the City Manager
in the Budget Resolution adopted annually by City Council. Unexpended or unencumbered
appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal year. Encumbered appropriations are reappropriated
in the ensuing year's budget. The City utilizes an encumbrance accounting system, whereby
commitments such as purchase orders and unperformed contracts are recorded as restricted
fund balances at year-end.
History of Culver City
Native Americans of Shoshonean origins were the first known inhabitants of the area which
became Culver City. Although Cabrillo anchored his small ship in the port of San Diego in 1542, it
was not until the threat of aggression by other countries, that King Carlos III of Spain mandated
colonization in 1769. Franciscan Father Junípero Serra began to establish the missions from San
Diego northward. The natives became known as the "Gabrielino Indians", due to their proximity to
the San Gabriel Mission (est. 1771). In 1781, the "Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de Los
Angeles" was established by eleven families and an escort of Spanish soldiers. On a later
expedition that year, a young soldado, José Manuel Machado arrived in California with his wife.
Machado was destined to complete his military duty and retire with his family to the pueblo in
|1010| Population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau; Census 2010 PHC-T-40; “Estimated
Daytime Population and Employment-Residence Ratios: 2010”
22
VII
1797. After Machado's death in 1810, two of his sons, José Agustín and José Ygnacio joined
Felipe Talamantes and his son Tomás to graze cattle to the west, where they claimed the 14,000
acre Rancho La Ballona. By 1865, when Agustín Machado, (the most prominent owner), died,
Rancho La Ballona had functioned under three governments: Spain, Mexico and the United
States.
The Gold Rush and the Railroad moved people west. Abbot Kinney bought the land to develop
his "Venice of America" in 1904. A young man from Nebraska, named Harry H. Culver arrived in
California in 1910 and went to work in real estate for I. N. Van Nuys. Culver studied the area and
in 1913 announced his plans for a city halfway between the pueblo of Los Angeles and Kinney's
resort of Venice. Culver envisioned a balanced community with a residential/commercial mix.
Culver, who was already enamored by the movie industry, saw Thomas Ince making a movie with
"painted Indians" in canoes on La Ballona Creek. He convinced the moviemakers to move from
"Inceville" north of Santa Monica to property on Washington Boulevard. This first major movie
studio became a "city within a city", eventually six lots, covering more than 180 acres. What
began as Ince/Triangle Studios became Goldwyn, then successively Metro Goldwyn Mayer,
Lorimar and Columbia Pictures. In 1989, electronics and information technology giant Sony
Corporation purchased Columbia Pictures and the site is now the global headquarters for Sony
Pictures Entertainment.
Ince had moved east on Washington Boulevard to establish his second studio in 1919. After he
died in 1924, this studio prospered as De Mille Studios, Selznick Studios, R.K.O., Pathe, R.K.O.-
Pathe, Desilu, Culver Studios, Laird International, and most currently, The Culver Studios. It was
on this studio's back lot that Atlanta was burned for "Gone with the Wind". The third major studio
was Hal Roach Studios, which existed from 1919 through 1963. It was known as the "Laugh
Factory of the World", where the Our Gang Comedies and Laurel and Hardy were filmed. Hence,
the "Heart of Screenland" appears on our City Seal.
The first City offices where the early "Board of Trustees" met were located on the second floor of
the local theater, which Harry Culver moved to build his six-story Hunt Hotel in 1924. "City Hall"
relocated to Van Buren Place until 1928 when the New City Hall was dedicated at 9770 Culver
Boulevard. That structure has made way for another new City Hall that was completed in 1995.
Through a series of more than 40 annexations over the years, Culver City grew from 1.2 to 5.13
square miles.
In the twenties, Culver City was known for its nightspots like Fatty Arbuckle's Plantation Cafe and
Frank Sebastian's Cotton Club. Western Stove on Hays (National) marked the beginning of
industry in 1922. Despite the Depression, building continued with endeavors like Helms Bakery
which supplied foodstuffs for the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles. The first Industrial tract, the
Hayden Tract, became a reality in the forties. In the late forties, Culver City became a Charter
City with a Unified School District. Our Junior and Senior High Schools were built to complement
what eventually numbered eight elementary schools (presently there are five.) Hughes Aircraft
located nearby and became a major employer of Culver City residents, like Helms and the
studios. In 1950, the Veterans' Memorial Building was completed, Culver Center was built, car
dealerships lined Washington Boulevard and the Fiesta La Ballona celebrated the Spanish
heritage of the area beginning in 1951. In the fall of 1975, Fox Hills Mall was completed as the
first major Redevelopment project. The Filmland Corporate Center, Meralta Plaza and the
beginnings of Corporate Pointe were projects of the 80's.
Redevelopment efforts continue in Downtown Culver City. With the redevelopment of the Helms
and Beacon Laundry buildings into the Helms Furniture District, new theatres in the center of the
City including the redevelopment of the Culver Theatre into the Kirk Douglas Theatre, the 12
screen Pacific Theater complex and the Actor’s Gang at the Ivy Substation, a number of highly
rated new restaurants, a thriving arts district on the eastside and redevelopment of the western
portion of the City, Culver City continues to move forward.
23
VIII
Factors Affecting Financial Condition
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is
considered from the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the City of
Culver City operates.
The National Bureau of Economic Research, which is the non-profit agency responsible for
defining economic cycles, declared June 2009 to be the official end of the recession that began in
December 2007. Since then the economy has shown some signs of life, but foreclosures remain
near record highs, credit continues to be very tight, the stock market has been extremely volatile,
and unemployment remains uncomfortably high. Economic conditions remain bleak enough that,
some economist are predicting that the odds of another recession in 2012 are 50/50.
Local economy. Culver City has a diverse and strong economy. The City's business community
is comprised of a diverse collection of businesses ranging from traditional retailers to a major film
studio. Mainstay firms such as Costco, Westfield-Culver City Mall and Sony Pictures
Entertainment occupy a traditional niche as large institutional property owners, sales tax
producers and employers.
During fiscal year 2009-10, construction was completed on the expansion and remodel of
Westfield–Culver City Mall. The expansion and remodel added approximately 165,000 square
feet of retail space for new anchors Target, Best Buy, and Forever 21 and gave the mall a much
needed face lift.
A number of major mixed use office/retail/residential projects continue to be delayed as
developers have been unable to secure construction financing. Although the economy has
improved since the financial meltdown in 2008, construction financing is still difficult to obtain.
Consequently, receipts from many of the development related revenues that the City is expecting
will be delayed until the credit markets loosen and developers begin to move forward on their
planned projects.
Despite the economic conditions, the City and Redevelopment Agency have recently begun
moving forward on a large office/retail mixed use project located in the heart of downtown Culver
City. The development, currently referred to as Parcel B, was originally slated to be constructed
a few years ago, but the recession delayed the project and ultimately led the Redevelopment
Agency to seek a new developer and development plan. The City and Agency have selected a
new developer for the project and construction should begin within the next year.
Construction on the Red Line extension of the Metro Light Rail System is expected to be
completed in the coming months. The completion of this latest phase terminates in the
Washington/National area in Culver City and will provide residents, commuters, and visitors a
convenient mass transportation option connecting Culver City, USC, and Downtown Los Angeles.
To complement the new extension of the Light Rail System, the City has been working diligently
to create a top notch transit oriented development at the aerial station located at the intersection
of Washington Boulevard and National Boulevard. The proposed transit oriented development is
currently in the planning stages and the City and Redevelopment Agency will be working towards
selecting a developer to work with to construct this project over the next fiscal year.
Although there is some development activity in Culver City, the City is by no means immune to
the impacts from the national recession. There are still significant pressures on the economy that
will continue to dampen any chance for a sustained recovery and, worst case, have the potential
to cause a second recession. Chief among these pressures is a record unemployment rate that
24
IX
continues to be uncomfortably high, both nationally and statewide. In October, the national
unemployment rate was 9.0% while the state’s unemployment rate in September was 11.9%|1010|.
Additionally, California is experiencing an ongoing budget crisis and has had to shift billions of
dollars away from local agencies to try to balance the budget over the last few years. Over the
past two fiscal years, the State of California has taken $10.9 million and $2.25 million,
respectively, from the Culver City Redevelopment Agency to balance their own budget. The
State’s actions have had a significant impact on the Agency’s ability to finance redevelopment
projects.
As a part of the state’s fiscal year 2011-12 budget, legislation was passed eliminating
redevelopment agencies statewide. Agencies may continue to operate if they make a Voluntary
Alternative Redevelopment Payment (VARP) to the State. The Culver City Redevelopment
Agency’s VARP payment is $12 million. The legislation has been challenged in the California
Supreme Court. In August, the Court issued a stay on implementing most of the legislation until
the matter is resolved. The Court has committed to issue a ruling by January 2012.
Despite Culver City’s relative financial strength and economic diversity, in order to maintain that
condition, the City was forced to make some very significant decisions, including eliminating 60
positions in FY 2010-11 and eight positions in FY 2011-12. Additionally, new Memorandums of
Understanding were negotiated with all of the City’s six bargaining groups that included increased
PERS retirement contribution for all employees and restructured retirement benefits to
significantly reduce the City’s future retirement costs. Even with these significant reductions, the
City’s current level of expenditures cannot be sustained by projected revenues. Under the
direction and leadership of the City Manager, the City is continuing the process of re-aligning
expenditures to conform to “new normal” revenue projections that are expected going forward.
Major Initiatives and Improvements for Fiscal Year 2011-12
The budget contains major work plans for each department and a citywide capital project plan to
address the highest priorities of the community and the goals of the City Council. Although the
City is experiencing budget problems, following is a sample of major work programs and
community reinvestment projects that received funding in fiscal year 2011-12 adopted budget:
1. Community Service Improvements
a. Complete field leveling and lighting project at Bill Botts field;
b. Enhance the City’s emergency preparedness program and continue to build
on the City’s ability to deal with emergency situations, such as natural
disasters and/or pandemic outbreaks; and
c. Continue needed renovations at aging City facilities, including Fire Station
Nos. 1 & 2.
2. Community Reinvestment
a. Complete various playground improvement projects;
b. Complete a number of street resurfacing and streetscape improvement
projects throughout the City; and
c. Complete various improvements to the City’s sewer conveyance system;
3. Internal Operational Improvements
a. Continue to review organizational efficiency and develop a succession
planning program; and
b. Implementation of a new Financial & Human Resources system.

this transmittal letter, State unemployment data for October was unavailable.

c. Reduce overall operating costs through negotiations with employee
bargaining groups.
All of the City’s operations, including the community service improvements, community
reinvestment, and internal operational improvements identified above, are funded by various
taxes, fees and fines levied on consumers, residents, businesses, and developers operating
within the City. A brief historical discussion of the City’s major revenues is contained in the
following section.
Revenues
Major sources of General Fund revenue for the City include Sales Tax, Business Tax, Utility User
Tax (UUT), Property Tax and Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT).
Sales Tax
Sales Tax is Culver City’s
single largest revenue source.
Sales tax revenue is a volatile
revenue source and even
though Culver City has a
diverse economic base, the
City has seen large revenue
swings in the past. The
increase in the late 1990’s is a
combination of the robust
economy of the period and the
opening of major retailers
(Costco, BestBuy, and Miller
Honda). The terrorist events in
September 2001 spurred a
sharp drop in sales tax that
took almost two years to fully
recover. The economic recession that began in 2007 resulted in the closing of some major sales
tax generators. Consequently, sales tax receipts declined dramatically in fiscal 2008-09 and
2009-10. Sales tax revenues bottomed out in FY 2009-10 and rebounded in fiscal 2010-11.
Sales tax revenues closed the year at $16.192 million, which is a 13.2% increase over the
previous fiscal year. The budget for fiscal 2010-11 was modestly adjusted upwards at mid-year
by $100,000 to reflect the anticipated increase. The overall total ended up being approximately
$500,000 higher than estimated. Although sales tax revenues were up, receipts were at fiscal
year 2003-04 levels, which suggests the economic adjustment set the City’s revenues back 5 to 7
years.
The adopted budget for fiscal 2011-12 was conservatively forecast, and may be revised at mid-
year using information received over the past couple of months.
26
XI
Business Tax
Business Tax accounts for approximately 12% to 14% of the General Fund revenues. All entities
conducting business in Culver City are required to pay a Business Tax annually. This tax has
experienced relatively stable
growth over the past several
years, a testament to the
growing economic base in
the City and diligent
enforcement by City staff.
Business Tax is based on a
businesses’ gross receipts,
which is a measure of the
amount of business they do
in the City. Recognizing that
significant portions of
business tax revenues are
based on gross receipts, we
can see how downward
trends in the economy
impact City revenues.
Fiscal year 2010-11 Business Tax receipts, including penalties, were $10.049 million, a 4.1%
increase from fiscal year 2009-10 results. In fiscal 2008-09 the City began conducting a more in-
depth Business Tax Audit, initially focused on identifying businesses that operate in the City
without paying the tax, and then focusing on audits of actual returns.
Utility User Tax
Utility User Tax receipts make
up approximately 18.0% of the
General Fund revenues. The
City charges Utility User Tax
(UUT) on electricity, water,
telephone, cable, and natural
gas utilities. The current UUT
rate is 11%. Fortunately, UUT
revenue is much more stable
than other major revenues.
Economic fluctuations have
less impact on UUTs because
residents still need electricity,
natural gas, water, etc. Over
the last ten years, UUT
revenues have grown at an
average annual rate of approximately 3%.
UUT receipts for fiscal year 2010-11 are $14.49 million, which is a 2.5% increase from fiscal year
2009-10. Weather played a bit of a factor during fiscal 2009-10, and kept electricity receipts
lower than anticipated. Fiscal 2010-11 showed a modest increase, but mild weather and lower
than anticipated Electricity receipts kept revenues lower than anticipated. As the economy
recovers, UUT revenues are expected to return to a normal annual average increase of 3.0%.
27
XII
Transient Occupancy Tax
Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) is levied on occupied hotel/motel rooms and is currently 12% of
the room rate. Over the last
five years, TOT revenues
have been highly volatile.
There was a 22% drop in TOT
revenue between 2000-01
and 2001-02, followed by a
30% increase in revenues the
following year, followed by
another decline of 16%
between 2002-03 and 2003-
04. Events such as
September 11th or large hotel
closures have an adverse
impact on TOT revenues.
The spike in fiscal year 2006-
07 was the result of a
payment for back owed taxes
due to a bankruptcy settlement.
Fiscal year 2010-11 TOT revenues were $3.284 million, and exceeded the prior year by almost
11%. Receipts stayed relatively steady throughout the year, even with continued high vacancy
rates and low room rates. Spring saw steady activity, which helped this category end the year
exceptionally strong. All of the City’s larger hotels were also fully operational, which has not
always been the case in prior years.
Fiscal year 2011-12 receipts were budgeted conservatively, and it is expected that projections will
be met. Vacancy rates have lowered somewhat and travel activity has picked up slightly.
The City has placed a measure on the April 2012 Ballot asking voters to approve an increase
from the current 12% room rate to 14%. Based on current occupancy and room rates, this
increase will generate an additional $510,000 annually to the City. If additional hotels/motels are
added in the future, the City will recognize even higher receipts overall.
Property Tax
Culver City is a “low
property tax” city and only
receives 10.5% of the 1%
property tax rate paid by
property owners, which
equates to only about 3.5%
to 4.5% of General Fund
revenues, on average.
Fortunately, Culver City has
not seen a significant drop
in this category the last few
years, and has not
experienced the severe
mortgage and foreclosure
meltdowns felt by other
locales. Culver City’s
property tax revenue has
grown relatively consistently
over the past five years, averaging an annual growth rate of approximately 8%. Given the current
downturn in the housing market, these increases will not continue over the next several years.
28
XIII
The downturn in fiscal 2004-05 and 2005-06 is the recording of the State ERAF shift of
approximately $971,000 each year.
Property Tax receipts ended fiscal year 2010-11 at $3.1 million, which is 11.9% less than fiscal
year 2009-10. Due to the real estate devaluation, many homeowners had their assessed value
decreased, which resulted in lower receipts. Taking into account reduced property values and
slow sales, the revenue projection for fiscal 2011-12 is conservative as growth in revenue is
expected to be flat.
Total Major Tax Revenues
From the chart below, it is clear that there is a correlation between the economy and the City’s
major tax revenues. The terrorist events of September 2001 are clearly indicated in the sharp
decline in four of the five tax revenues, with only property taxes remaining relatively steady. All
four of these taxes rebounded in fiscal 2002-03 and have increased steadily until fiscal 2007-08
when sales tax
showed the first
decline in years.
Without the one-time
payment from a
bankruptcy settlement
in fiscal year 2006-07
for TOT, the recurring
receipts would have
showed a decrease
over the prior year.
Fiscal 2008-09 and
2009-10 show an even
steeper decline in
sales tax. Tax
revenues in fiscal
2010-11 rebounded
slightly and a continued recovery is anticipated to be slow but relatively steady in the future.
EXPENDITURES
The following charts examine the city’s expenditures over the past several years. (Note: A point
of clarification for readers of this letter, the previous revenue graphs do not represent total City
General Fund revenues for the periods evaluated. As noted, they represent only the City’s major
General Fund tax revenue sources. The graph for Expenditures also only includes operating
expenses for the General Fund, and does not include transfers-out to other funds.)
Over 80% of the City’s
General Fund expenditures
are personnel related
costs, with Police and Fire
accounting for over 50% of
the overall General Fund
expenditures. The City has
struggled with rising
medical, retirement, fuel,
and workers’ compensation
costs on an annual basis.
In Fiscal 2003-04, several
positions were eliminated
from the entire City budget,
29
XIV
with 19.5 positions being from the General Fund. Major increases in CalPERS retirement costs
for public safety, stagnant revenues, rising costs, and state takeaway of property tax prompted
those personnel reductions. After a relatively short period of prosperity, additional personnel
reductions were made in FY 2010-11 (which will be discussed in more detail in subsequent
paragraphs) to adjust to the economic correction. Additional cuts are expected in the future to
offset increased CalPERS rates implemented in fiscal 2011-12 and to address a continuing
structural deficit.
The City’s adopted a budget for fiscal 2010-11 included taking approximately $2 million from
reserves and the reduction of 60 positions. The budget was introduced as the first of a two-phase
approach to eliminate the City’s General Fund structural deficit. An additional eight positions
were reduced from the General Fund in the fiscal year 2011-12 budget. All Funds will be
reviewed closely during the year and any recommended adjustments will be given to the City
Council in a timely manner.
General Fund Reserve Percentage
Perhaps the best measure of the City’s effectiveness in weathering an economic downturn and
building sustained growth for the future is its ability to build a fund reserve. It is a goal of the City
to maintain a general operating reserve of, at a minimum, 25% of projected General Fund
operating expenditures for each fiscal year and an additional 5% for emergency situations
(excluding debt service, fund transfers, and encumbered funds). These reserves are designed to
be used in the event of a significant financial emergency.
The City owes its ability to maintain
a relatively healthy reserve in large
part to revenues from major
developments occurring within the
city the past several years, and
conservative budgeting practices
by City Council and staff.
Monies in the reserve are used to
fund one-time projects and
programs, and are most often
transferred to the City’s capital
improvement fund to fund capital
projects.
Long Term Financial Planning
In fiscal year 2006-07, the City developed a long term Comprehensive Financial Master Plan to
forecast revenues and expenditures over a 5- to 15-year period. In addition to providing a long
term forecast for each major fund, the plan identifies long term issues facing the City, including
increases in medical and retirement costs, the impact of development on revenues, and the
impact of deferred maintenance on the state of the City’s infrastructure. The Comprehensive
Financial Master Plan is a valuable financial management tool, especially in challenging financial
times, to assist the City Council in setting priorities and educate the community on the long term
state of the City’s finances.
For Fiscal Year 2011-12, the approved budget assumed savings to be achieved as a result of
labor negotiations. As of December 2012, negotiations have been concluded with all of the City’s
six bargaining groups. Working together, the City Council, City management and the labor
groups were able to reach agreements that will provide budgetary relief to the City both in the
short-term, and particularly in the long-term. Significant achievements in these negotiations are
as follows:
0.0%

? Creation of a second tier for all new hires with lower pension formulas and/or converting
to final three year average earnings.
? All current employees are transitioning into paying their own share of the employee
pension cost, or an equivalent amount through cost sharing.
? All new hires will pay their full share of the employee pension cost immediately.
? Implementation of a cafeteria plan for health benefits, with fixed dollar amounts for each
bargaining group and a 4% annual growth cap. This benefit is now a defined
contribution.
? Reducing the retiree medical benefit for the majority of current employees. With the
exception of those grandfathered (those with 20 years of PERS service credit as of
12/31/2011 or those reaching 25 years of employment with Culver City by January 1,
2022), the benefit has been reduced and converted to a defined contribution.
? Creating a new tier for all employees hired after 7/1/2011 that provides only the minimum
required retiree medical benefit (the PEMHCA minimum).
It is estimated that by the conclusion of the current five-year General Fund projections, the
savings resulting from these negotiations will be nearly $3 million per year over the status quo. In
the longer term (twenty years and beyond), the annual savings are estimated to reach nearly $10
million.
Further expenditure reductions or revenue increases will be necessary in the coming years to
align revenues and expenditures. Through prudent fiscal management, the City has established
reserve funds to allow these reductions to occur over time through prioritization and planning.
City management is focused on taking the actions necessary to achieve long-term balance
between available resources and the quality services the City offers.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
City Council
City of Culver City
Culver City, California
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Culver City,
California, as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, which collectively comprise the City’s basic
financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
management of the City of Culver City. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial
statements based on our audit. The prior year comparative information has been derived from the financial
statements of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, and was audited by other auditors whose
report dated December 7, 2010 expressed unqualified opinions on those statements.
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 of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
The City adopted the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54,
Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definition, and Statement No. 59, Financial
Instruments Omnibus, effective July 1, 2010.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund,
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Culver City, California, as of June 30, 2011,
and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, of the City of Culver
City, California for the fiscal year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
372
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 23,
2011, on our consideration of the City of Culver City, California’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 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 internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the
results of our audit.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s
discussion and analysis on pages 3 through 18 and the budgetary comparison information on pages 85
through 87 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 inquires of management about the methods of preparing the
information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries,
the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial
statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited
procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City of Culver City, California’s financial statements as a whole. The introductory section,
budgetary comparison schedule of the major capital projects fund, combining and individual nonmajor and
internal service fund financial statements and schedules and statistical section are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not required parts of the financial statements. The combining and individual
nonmajor and internal service fund financial statements and schedules and budgetary comparison schedule
of the major capital projects fund are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate
directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements
and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the
underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial
statements themselves, and other additional procedure in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole. The introductory and statistical sections have not
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and,
accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.

CITY OF CULVER CITY
Management's Discussion and Analysis
As management of the City of Culver City (City), we offer readers of the City's financial statements this
narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2011. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional
information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal, which can be found on page V of this report.
Financial Highlights
? The assets of the City exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year by
$211,631,970 (net assets). Of this amount, $45,670,722 (unrestricted net assets) may be used to
meet the City's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
? City total net assets as of June 30, 2011 increased by $7,324,576 over the prior fiscal year,
$4,172,057 of which was a result of operations and $3,152,519 of which was attributable to prior
period adjustments (described in Note 16 of this report). This indicated a moderately strengthened
financial condition with revenues of $173,557,174 and expenses of $169,385,117. In the prior year,
expenses of $147,555,088 exceeded revenues of $138,981,872 by $8,573,216.
? As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined fund
balances of $206,340,723, an increase of $49,886,944 from the prior year, including a prior period
adjustment of ($8,204,045) described in Note 16. Of this amount, $41,050,501 million or
approximately 19.9% of total fund balances are reported as Assigned ($5,917,925) or Unassigned
(35,132,576) fund balances making them available for spending at the City’s discretion (in
compliance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board’s Statement No. 54, Fund Balance
Reporting and Government Fund Type Definitions, see Note 19),
? The increase in the City’s governmental funds reported combined fund balances was the result of an
overall increase in revenues of $12,332,273, an increase in expenditures of $3,583,880, and an
increase in other financing sources of $47,186,132 resulting in a net increase of $49,886,944 or an
increase of $55,935,525 over the prior year.
? At the end of the current fiscal year, the Assigned and Unassigned (GASB Statement No. 54) fund
balance for the General Fund was $43,516,573, or 62.9% of total General Fund expenditures.
? The City’s net capital assets increased by $3,532,559 from the prior year as a result of capital
replacement programs activities. Additionally, a prior period adjustment of $12,289,112 was made,
as discussed in Note 7.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial
statements. The City's basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) Government-wide
Financial Statements, 2) Fund Financial Statements, and 3) Notes to Basic Financial Statements. This
report also contains supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements.
40City of Culver City
Management's Discussion and Analysis (Continued)

Government-wide Financial Statements
The Government-wide Financial Statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the
City's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The Statement of Net Assets presents information on all of the City's assets and liabilities, with the
difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may
serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the City's net assets changed during the
most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise
to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are
reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g.,
uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally
supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that
are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-
type activities). The governmental activities of the City include general government, public safety,
community development, public works, parks, recreation and cultural services, and interest on long-term
debt. The business-type activities of the City include operations of the Culver City Bus Lines, and its
refuse and sewer utilities.
The government-wide financial statements include not only the City itself (known as the primary
government), but also activities of two legally separate component units: the Culver City Redevelopment
Agency and the Culver City Parking Authority. Because the City Council acts as the governing board for
each of these component units and because they function as part of the City government, their activities
are blended with those of the primary government.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 19 through 21 of this report.
Fund Financial Statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control
over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state
and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related
legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided into three categories: governmental funds,
proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental
activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial
statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable
resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such
information may be useful in evaluating the City's near-term financial requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing
so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the City'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 31 individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the
governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and
changes in fund balances for the General Fund, the Economic Development Fund, the Redevelopment
41City of Culver City

Agency Debt Service Fund, the Cooperative Projects Fund, and the Redevelopment Agency Capital
Projects Fund, all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other 26 non-major
governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for all of
these non-major governmental funds are provided in the form of Combining Statements in the Non-major
Governmental Funds section of this report. The Trust and Agency Fiduciary Fund is reported separately.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General Fund and Special Revenue Funds. A
budgetary comparison statement is provided for all funds with an annually adopted budget. The
budgetary comparison statement for the General Fund and the Economic Development Fund are located
in the basic financial statements. The non-major governmental fund budgetary comparisons are located in
the Non-major Governmental Funds section of the report. Project life budgets rather than annual budgets
are adopted for the Capital Projects Funds.
Proprietary Funds
The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same
functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City
uses enterprise funds to account for the Culver City Bus Line and its refuse and sewer utilities. Internal
service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City's
various functions. Because these services predominantly benefit governmental rather than business-type
functions, they have been included within governmental activities in the government-wide financial
statements.
The City uses internal service funds to account for the following activities:
? Self-insurance activities, including:
- General claims liability
- Workers' compensation insurance
- Unemployment benefits
? Vehicle operation and maintenance
? Equipment replacement
? Central stores
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only
in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the Culver City
Bus Lines and the refuse and sewer utilities, all of which are considered major funds of the City.
Conversely, the internal service funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation in the
proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the internal service funds is provided in the
form of combining statements in the Additional Financial Information section of this report.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 31 of this report.
Fiduciary Funds
The City maintains a fiduciary fund and acts as treasurer for the Westside Cities Council of Governments
(WSCCOG), a Joint Powers Authority. WSCCOG was established to enable members to voluntarily
engage in regional and cooperative planning and the coordination of government services and
responsibilities so as to assist the members in the conduct of their affairs. The goal and intent of the
WSCCOG is one of voluntary cooperation among cities for the collective benefit of the cities in the
Westside area of Los Angeles County.
A fiduciary fund is used to report the assets held by the City in trust for the WSCCOG because these
assets cannot be used by the City for its own programs. Because the resources of fiduciary funds, by
definition, cannot be used to support the City’s own programs, such funds are excluded from the

government-wide financial statements. They are reported, however, as part of the basic financial
statements to ensure fiscal accountability.
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
The notes to the basic financial statements provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to
the basic financial statements can be found on page 37 of this report.
Other information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain
required supplementary information concerning budget-to-actual information for certain Major
Governmental Funds. This information can be found on page 85.
The statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental funds and internal service
funds, together with information on capital assets used in the operation of governmental funds (those not
included in internal service funds), are presented immediately following the required supplementary
information on budget-to-actuals. Combining and individual fund statements and schedules can be found
on page 89 of this report.
Government-Wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, changes in net assets over time may serve as a useful indicator of the City's financial
position. In the case of the City, assets exceeded liabilities by $211,631,970 million at the close of the
most recent fiscal year.

Net Assets at June 30, 2011
The largest portion of the City's net assets (57.1%) represents resources that are subject to external
restrictions on how they may be used. Of these, restricted net assets are for repayment of long-term debt,
or related to restrictions in the City's special revenue and capital projects funds.

Management's Discussion and Analysis (Continued)

The second largest portion of the City's net assets (21.6%) is unrestricted and may be used to meet the
City's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
The remaining portion of the City's net assets (21.3%) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land,
buildings, utility and general governmental infrastructure, machinery and equipment, etc.) less any related
debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding that results in a negative balance in capital
assets. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are
not available for future spending. Although the City's investment in its capital assets is reported net of
related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other
sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
The table that compares the City’s assets and liabilities from the prior fiscal year to the current fiscal year
is shown below for comparison.

Net Assets:
At the end of the current fiscal year, as well as the previous year, the City is able to report positive
balances in all categories of net assets for the City as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental
activities.
The City’s governmental current assets increased by $41,193,418, which resulted primarily from an
increase of Cash and Investments (both non-restricted and with fiscal agent) of $28,941,098, an increase
of $10,031,194 in Land Held for Resale, and moderate increases in other categories totaling $1,221,126.
The increases in Cash and Investments and Land Held for Resale were primarily driven by new debt

proceeds and land purchased with those proceeds. Net Capital Assets for the governmental activities
increased by $16,380,211, much of which was attributable to prior period reclassifications of Land Held
for Resale to Capital Assets (see Note 16). Governmental Noncurrent liabilities increased by
$48,953,071, again driven by the issuance of new debt.
The City’s business-type current assets increased by $4,242,467, primarily from an increase in Cash and
Investments of $5,032,367 and minor decreases in other categories of $789,900. Current liabilities of
business-type activities increased by $2,942,170, primarily from an increase in Unearned Revenue of
$2,212,948 and Accounts Payable of $722,755. The increase in Unearned Revenue occurred in the
Municipal Bus Lines, and is the result of a difference in timing of funding received that had not yet been
utilized for its intended purpose.
The City’s net assets increased by $7,324,576 during the current fiscal year, a 3.6% increase over the
prior year. Total adjusted revenues increased by 24.9% (34.6 million). Compared to the prior year, there
was an increase in tax revenues of 29.4% ($20.1 million), an increase in operating contributions and
grants of 19.0% ($2.8 million), an increase in capital contributions and grants of 39.9% ($1.7 million), a
decrease in investment earnings of 63.9% ($2.9 million), and an increase in other revenues of 3,472%
($14.0 million). The tax increases represent recovery of a $10.9 million loss in Property Taxes due to a
State takeaway in the previous year, and other tax increases as a result of slowly recovering economy.
The increase in Other revenues was due to a one-time gain on the sale of a property. The increased
contributions and grants (both operating and capital) represents increased external support also as a
result of the slowly recovering economy. The reduction in Investment Earnings is primarily due to
significant and prolonged yields in the investment market. Expenses increased by 14.8% ($21.8 million)
over the prior year. The increase was driven solely by an increase in Community Development expenses
driven by redevelopment activity. Other expense categories were reduced or held close to prior year
totals based on planned expenditure cuts or freezes across all City government and business-type
activities.
The changes in net assets are reflected in the following table.

Governmental Activities
Governmental activities increased the City's net assets by $6,485,527 thereby accounting for 88.5% of
the total $7,324,576 million increase in the net assets of the City. Key elements of this increase are as
follows:
? Taxes, 65.1% of total governmental activities revenues, increased by $30.9 million (30.0%) from the
prior year. Property taxes increased by $14.1 million (54.7%) mostly due to recovery of a $10.9
million State takeaway in the prior year.
? Other revenues increased by $13.7 million (3,472%) over the prior year, due to a gain on the sale of a
parking structure.
? Charges for Services decreased by $1.5 million (8.0%) primarily due to the economy and a slowdown
in building and construction permits.
? Investment income decreased by $2.2 million (60.9%) due to historically low investment returns.
The percentage amount of revenues for governmental activities, by source, is illustrated in the following
chart:
While the City continued its efforts to maintain effective cost controls, governmental activities expenses
increased 19.6% over the prior period.
? Community Development expenses increased 141.1% ($27.3 million). This was primarily due to
the purchase of property, and pass-through payments of property tax increment by the
Redevelopment Agency to other taxing jurisdictions and the State.
47City of Culver City
Management's Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
11
? General government expenses decreased 43.1% ($4.3 million). This was primarily due to salary
and benefit savings and a decrease in allocated Other Post Employment Benefit expenses.
? All other expenses (Police, Fire, Public Works, Parks, Recreation & Community Service, and
Interest charges) decreased 1.8% ($1.4 million).

Governmental Funds
The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows and
balances of spendable resources. Such information may be useful in assessing the City's financing
requirements. In particular, the committed, assigned and unassigned fund balances may serve as a
useful measure of the City's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balances of $206,340,723, an increase of $41,682,899 from the previous year. This increase is the net
result of a $12.2 million (10.1%) increase in total revenues, a $3.6 million (2.8%) increase in total
expenditures, a $47.1 million increase in other financing sources (due to debt issuance), and a negative
prior period adjustment of $8.2 million.
The City of Culver City has implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board’s (GASB) Statement
No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Government Fund Type Definitions. As a result of this
implementation, the fund balance section of the balance sheets of the governmental funds has been
modified. The change has been made in order for the City’s new fund balance components to focus on
“the extent to which the government is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which
amounts in the fund can be spent.” Previously, the fund balance section focused on whether these
resources were available for appropriation. It also distinguished the unreserved fund balance from the
reserved fund balance. In order to show compliance with GASB Statement No. 54, however, the
components of the new fund balance include the following line items:
a) Nonspendable fund balance - $6,822,089 (inherently nonspendable) includes the portion of net
resources that cannot be spent because of their form, and the portion of net resources that
cannot be spent because they must be maintained intact.
b) Restricted fund balance - $158,468,133 (externally enforceable limitations on use) includes
amounts subject to limitations imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws and
regulations of other governments.
c) Committed fund balance - $0 (self-imposed limitation set in place prior to the end of the period)
Limitations imposed at the highest level of decision making that requires formal action at the
same level to remove.
d) Assigned fund balance - $5,917,925 (limitation resulting from intended use) consists of amounts
where the intended use is established by the highest level of decision making.
e) Unassigned fund balance - $35,132,576 (residual net resources) is the total fund balance in the
general fund in excess of nonspendable, restricted, committed and assigned fund balance and
the excess or deficiency of nonspendable, restricted, and committed fund balance over total fund
balance in other governmental funds.
The implementation of these new components is intended to decrease confusion and help serve the
needs of the financial statement users (Please see Note 19 for more information)
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current fiscal year, the fund
balance components were reported as $6,799,442 nonspendable, $1,024,329 assigned and $42,492,244
unassigned, for a total General Fund balance of $50,316,015. The fund balance of the City’s General
Fund increased by $11,422,378 during the current fiscal year. Key factors in this increase are as follows:
? Total General Fund revenues were $82,739,285, an increase of $16.6 million (25.2%) compared
to the prior year. After adjusting for the reclassification of Business License Tax from Licenses
and permits in the prior year to Taxes in the current year, and for the reclassification of Motor
Vehicle License Fees from Taxes in the prior year to Intergovernmental in the current year, there
are two primary causes for the increases in revenue. Sales taxes increased by approximately
$1.9 million from the prior year as a result of improvements to the economy. There was also
$14.1 million in one-time proceeds from the sale of a parking structure property.
50City of Culver City
Management's Discussion and Analysis (Continued)

? Total General Fund expenditures were $69,164,968, a decrease of $2.2 million (3.1%) from the
prior year. Reductions occurred across most categories as the City continued to maintain
effective cost controls.
? Total General Fund revenues exceeded total expenditures by $13,574,317. Other financing
uses were a net $2,151.939. During the year, the City transferred out $4 million in General
Fund reserves to fund additional capital projects and a financial system replacement project.
This resulted in the $11,422,378 net change in fund balance.
The net change in fund balances for all governmental funds was an increase of $49,886,944. The
primary reason for the increase, aside from the General Fund increase described above, was the
proceeds received from debt issuance of approximately $47 million.
As described further in Notes 17, 18 and 21, the State of California took a variety of actions to jeopardize
redevelopment agencies across the State. The City of Culver City and the Culver City Redevelopment
Agency took a variety of actions during the year to protect the assets of the Agency and ensure they are
available to address local redevelopment needs. This involved, among other actions, the adoption of
Cooperation Agreements between the City and Agency, where the Agency pledged current and future
assets in return for the City managing and executing future redevelopment activities. As a result, there
have been changes from the prior year statements in terms of new funds to account for the transferred
assets, and changes in what are now considered the major and non-major governmental funds.
Proprietary Funds
The City's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial
statements, but in more detail.
Enterprise Funds
As of June 30, 2011, the unrestricted net assets of the enterprise funds totaled $31,563,720, a decrease
of $0.9 million from the prior year. Other factors concerning the finances of these funds have already
been addressed in the discussion of the City's business-type activities.
The Municipal Bus Lines fund holds the City’s bus lines enterprise. At the end of the fiscal year, the
unrestricted net assets were $4,685,028, while total net assets were $30,550,829. The unrestricted net
assets were 24.9% of total Municipal Bus Lines Fund expenses of $18.9 million, while total net assets
were 162% of that same amount. Total net assets declined by $31 thousand due to non-operating
revenues and transfers of $15.2 million not quite covering the operating loss of $15.3 million.
The Refuse Disposal Fund contains the City's refuse collection and disposal enterprise. At year-end, the
unrestricted net assets were $529,321, while total net assets were $1,787,458. The unrestricted net
assets represent 5.0%, while total net assets represent 16.9% of Refuse Collection and Disposal Fund
expenses of $10.6 million. The net increase in the total fund balance for the year was $1.1 million, up
from $0.4 million in the prior year.
The Sewer Fund holds the City's sewer system enterprise. At the end of the fiscal year, the unrestricted
net assets were $26,349,371, while total net assets were $43,998,193. The unrestricted net assets and
total net assets were 3.7 and 6.2 times as large as Sewer Fund expenses of $7.1 million. The net assets
of the Sewer Fund increased by $0.7 million during the fiscal year, with operating income of $1.6 million
and non-operating expenses of $0.9 million.
Internal Service Funds
The City's internal service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs
internally among the City's various functions. The City uses internal service funds to account for its self-
insurance activities, including liability insurance, and workers' compensation insurance, vehicle operations
and maintenance, and central stores. As of June 30, 2011, unrestricted net assets of the internal service
funds had a deficit balance of $7.4 million, while total net assets were also a deficit balance of $102,815.
Total net assets decreased $4.9 million from the past year primarily due to a decrease in operating
revenues of $1.3 million, and an increase in claims and settlements of $1.5 million.
51City of Culver City
Management's Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
15
Because these services predominately benefit governmental rather than business-type functions, they
have been included within governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
Other factors concerning the finances of the internal service funds have already been addressed in the
discussion of the City's governmental activities.
Budgetary Highlights
The City adopts a one year budget, annually appropriates the operating budgets for its governmental
funds (General Fund and Special Revenue Funds) and reports the results of operations on a budget
comparison basis.
In preparing its budgets, the City attempts to estimate its revenues using realistic, but conservative,
methods so as to budget its expenditure appropriations and activities in a prudent manner. As a result,
the City Council adopts budget adjustments during the course of the fiscal year to reflect both changed
priorities and availability of additional revenues to allow for expansion of existing programs, or
alternatively the reduction of available revenues and necessary program reductions. During the course of
the year, the City Council amended the originally adopted budget to re-appropriate prior year approved
projects and expenditures, to allocate additional funding towards capital improvements and technology
enhancements, as well as approving many other adjustments for the current year.
The General Fund had a favorable budget variance of $4.7 million due primarily to actual revenues
exceeding the final budget by $1.3 million along with expenditures savings of $3.5 million. The
expenditure savings represented a concerted effort to contain costs, including a hiring freeze which kept a
number of positions vacant. Revenues performed slightly better than anticipated due to moderate
improvements in the economy.
Capital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital Assets
The City's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities amounts to
$220.7 million net of accumulated depreciation as of June 30, 2011. This investment in capital assets
includes land, buildings, improvements other than buildings, infrastructure (roads, sidewalks, land held
under easement, streetlights, etc.), machinery and equipment, and construction in progress.
The increase in governmental activities capital assets primarily reflects a $12.3 million prior period
adjustment for properties previously reflected under Land Held for Resale that were determined to be
capital assets, and miscellaneous other improvements. The decrease in business-type capital assets
primarily reflects depreciation of existing assets.

Debt Administration
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City had long-term debt of $268.3 million outstanding. This
included bonded debt of $210.3 million, including the current portion of $6.8 million. The bonded debt
amount consists of $190.8 million in tax allocation bonds issued for redevelopment projects and payable
from property tax increment revenues; and $20.1 million issued for various wastewater projects and
payable from sewer enterprise fund revenues. $47.1 in additional debt for redevelopment projects was
issued in FY 2010-2011.
Non-bonded outstanding debt includes certificates of participation of $3.4 million for bus line projects,
secured debts on Agency land of $0.6 million, a loan used to construct the City senior center reimbursed
by HUD funds through the County of Los Angeles of $0.5 million, a net OPEB liability of $22.0 million,
claims and judgments of $20.2 million and employee compensated absences of 10.2 million. The net
decrease in long-term debt is $1.2 million.

Ratings on outstanding debt are provided below. The ratings below are from Moody's Investor Services,
Standard and Poor's, and Fitch, Inc. Prior to the collapse of the bond insurance market which started in
2009, the City’s debt ratings were all “Aaa” or “AAA” based on insured ratings. However, many of these
issues were done with insured-only ratings. As the bond insurance firms were downgraded the rating
agencies have often withdrawn their ratings on the bond insurers, which also means that the ratings on
City bonds were withdrawn. The following table represents the current debt ratings of the City’s
outstanding bonds:

Economic Factors and Next Year's Budget
Revenues
The City adopted its 2011-12 budget projecting flat growth from the prior year in General Fund revenues
for a total of approximately $80.6 million. Between 2009-10 and 2010-11 there was approximately a $4.7
million decrease, but revenues have begun to stabilize and are expected to meet projections in 2011-12.
54City of Culver City
Management's Discussion and Analysis (Continued)

Expenditures
The City's General Fund operating budget for Fiscal Year 2011-12 is approximately $83.5 million. This
amount reflects the reduction of approximately 8 General Fund positions, decreases in operating and
maintenance line items, along with anticipated savings achieved through negotiations with the City’s
bargaining groups. As of December 2011, the City has concluded negotiations with all labor groups.
New agreements call for active employees to phase into paying their full share of the employee retirement
costs, a lower tier of retirement benefits for new employees, conversion to a full cafeteria plan for benefits
with a 4% cap on future growth in City costs, reductions in the retiree medical benefit for active
employees and elimination of all but the statutorily required retiree medical benefits for new hires. The
City anticipates savings from these agreements phasing in over the next three to four years, with
significant savings occurring in the long-term.
Economic Factors
The Los Angeles area Consumer Price Index increased 0.3% for the year ended September 2011. The
unemployment rates have been declining since July 2011. As of September 2011, the unemployment for
the County of Los Angeles was 12.2% and the State of California’s rate was 11.4%.
In this coming fiscal year, the City's budget continues to be impacted by the slow emergence from the
recession, the competition among cities for the same businesses and the weak development
market. Sales tax revenues have begun to show improvement with the completion of the Westfield Mall
project. Additionally, the City continues a hiring freeze and is cutting back on non-critical expenses in
order to maintain services.

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of
activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlay as expenditures. However, in
the statement of activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their
estimated useful lives as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which
depreciation expense exceeded capital outlays in the current period.
Capital outlay 7,356,534
Depreciation expense (4,295,293)
Proceeds from the issuance of bonds is reported as other financing sources in
governmental funds. The issuance of bonds payable increases liabilities in the statement
of net assets, but does not result in an increase in net assets in the statement
of activities. (47,412,887)
In governmental funds, debt issue costs and original issue discount/premium are recognized
as expenditures in the period they are incurred. In the government-wide statements, debt issue
costs and original issue discount/premium are amortized over the life of the debt.
Debt issuance costs incurred 692,083
Original issue discount incurred 642,847
Amortization of debt issuance costs (538,096)
Amortization of original issue discount/premium (150,628)

but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the statement of net assets.
Principal repayment 6,897,948

June 30, 2011
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The basic financial statements of the City of Culver City, California (City) have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(USGAAP) as applied to government units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and
financial reporting principles. The more significant of the City’s accounting policies are described
below.
(a) Reporting Entity
The City of Culver City was incorporated in 1917 and adopted its current City Charter in
1947. The City Charter establishes the form of government, states the powers and duties
of the City Council and establishes the City’s various executive offices. Through the end
of fiscal year 2005-06, the City operated under a Mayor/City Council/Chief
Administrative Office form of government. Under this system, the people elect a City
Council of five citizens who serve a term of four years and who in turn appoint a Chief
Administrative Officer and the non-elected Department Heads. The City Clerk and the
City Treasurer were also elected. The City provides the following services as authorized in
its charter: public safety (police and fire), planning, public works, human services, bus
lines, refuse collection, sewers, and community development.
During fiscal year 2005-06, a revision to the City Charter was approved that changed the
City to a Council/City Manager form of government as of July 1, 2006, and made the City
Treasurer and City Clerk appointed instead of elected positions once their terms expired in
April 2008.
The accompanying basic financial statements present the activity of the City and its
component units, the Culver City Redevelopment Agency and the Culver City
Redevelopment Financing Authority. The basic financial statements are prepared in
accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of
America (USGAAP) as promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB).
Blended Component Units
The activities of component financial reporting units are blended into the City’s financial
statements; the financial data of such component financial reporting units are combined
with the financial data of the City’s operations. Though the component units primarily
serve the City, the members of the City Council sit as the governing board or appoint the
governing board of the component units, and the City Council has the ability to impose its
will upon, and is financially accountable for its component units.

The Culver City Redevelopment Agency (Agency) was established on February 8, 1971,
pursuant to the State of California Health and Safety Code, Section 33000. The primary
purpose of the Agency is to encourage private redevelopment of property and to
rehabilitate areas suffering from economic disuse arising from poor and inadequate
planning, inadequate street layout and street access, lack of open space, landscaping and
other improvements and facilities necessary to establish and maintain economic growth of
the City. The members of the City Council sit at the Agency’s Board of Directors.
The Culver City Redevelopment Agency administers the Culver City Redevelopment
Project. The single Culver City Redevelopment Project was created November 23, 1998,
by Ordinance No. 98-014, which merged the Agency’s three former project areas.
Ordinance No. 98-015 also adopted November 23, 1998, added 270 acres to the Project
Area.
The assets of the City and Agency are not available to pay each other’s liabilities.
Separate financial statements of the Agency have been prepared and should be referred to
for a detailed understanding of its financial position and results of its operations.
Complete financial statements of the Agency may be obtained from:
City of Culver City
Finance Department
9770 Culver Boulevard
Culver City, California 90232
The Culver City Redevelopment Financing Authority (Authority) is a joint powers
authority formed between the City and the Agency in 1989 for the purpose of financing
various redevelopment activities. The transactions of the Authority are included in the
financial statements of the Agency and transactions between the Agency and the
Authority are eliminated for financial statement purposes.
(b) Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus
The basic financial statements of the City are composed of the following:
• Government-wide financial statements
• Fund financial statements
• Notes to the basic financial statements
Financial reporting is based upon all GASB pronouncements, as well as the FASB
Statements and Interpretations, APB Opinions, and Accounting Research Bulletins that
were issued on or before November 30, 1989 that do not conflict with or contradict GASB
pronouncements. FASB pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989 are not
followed in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements.

Government-wide Financial Statements
Government-wide financial statements display information about the reporting
government as a whole, except for its fiduciary activities. These statements include
separate columns for the governmental and business-type activities of the primary
government (including its blended component units). Governmental activities include
governmental funds and proprietary internal service funds. Business-type activities include
proprietary enterprise finds. Eliminations have been made in the Statement of Activities so
that certain allocated expenses are recorded only once (by the function to which they were
allocated). However, general government expenses have not been allocated as indirect
expenses to the various functions of the City.
Government-wide financial statements are presented using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under the economic resources
measurement focus, all (both current and long-term) economic resources and obligations
of the reporting government are reported in the government-wide financial statements.
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenses are recognized in the accounts
and reported in the financial statements. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues,
expenses, gains, losses, assets, and liabilities resulting from exchange and exchange-like
transactions are recognized when the exchange takes place.
Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or
directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function and 2)
grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital
requirements of a particular function. 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 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 an expenditure. The issuance of long-term
debt is recorded as a liability in the government-wide financial statements, rather than as
an other financing source. Amounts paid to reduce long-term indebtedness of the reporting
government are reported as a reduction of the related liability, rather than as an
expenditure.
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, liabilities, 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.

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Fund Financial Statements (Continued)
Fund financial statements for the primary government’s governmental, proprietary, and
fiduciary funds are presented after the government-wide financial statements. These
statements display information about the major funds individually and nonmajor funds in
the aggregate for governmental and enterprise funds. Fiduciary statements include financial
information for fiduciary funds and similar component units. Fiduciary funds of the City
primarily represent assets held by the City in a custodial capacity for other individuals or
organizations.
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 an availability period of 60 days.
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 derived tax revenues are recognized as revenues in the period
in which the underlying exchange transactions upon 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 nonexchange transactions are recognized
as revenues when all applicable eligibility requirements have been met.
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented using the current
financial resources measurement focus. This means that only current assets and current
liabilities are generally included on their balance sheets. The reported fund balance (net
current assets) 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) in net current assets.
Accordingly, they are said to present a summary of sources and uses of “available
spendable resources” during a period.
Non-current 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.

June 30, 2011
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Governmental Funds (Continued)
Revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities resulting from nonexchange transactions are
recognized in accordance with the requirements of GASB Statement No. 33 which requires
that local governments defer grant revenue that is not received within 60 days after the
fiscal year end to meet the “available” criteria of revenue recognition. In the past, the
industry practice for grants was to recognize revenue in the fiscal year in which the related
expense was incurred.
Therefore, recognition of governmental fund type revenue represented by non-current
receivables are deferred until they become current receivables. Non-current portions of
other long-term receivables are offset by fund balance reserve accounts.
Sales taxes, property taxes, franchise taxes, intergovernmental, rental income, transient
occupancy taxes and special assessments are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and
have been recognized as revenues in the current fiscal period to the extent normally
collected within the availability period. Other revenue items are considered to be
measurable and available when cash is received by the government.
Due to the nature 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 issuance of long-term debt is
recorded as other financing sources rather than as a fund liability. Amounts paid to reduce
long-term indebtedness are reported as fund expenditures.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are combined in a fund, expenses are
considered to be paid first from restricted resources, and then from unrestricted resources.
Proprietary Funds
The City’s enterprise and internal service funds are proprietary funds. In the fund financial
statements, the 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, the proprietary
funds are presented using the economic resources measurement focus. This means that all
assets and all liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) associated with their activity are
included on their balance sheets. The proprietary fund type operating statements present
increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net assets.

June 30, 2011
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Proprietary Funds (Continued)
Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange
transactions associated with the principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are
those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values. Non-operating
revenues, such as subsidies, taxes, and investment earnings result from nonexchange
transactions or ancillary activities. Amounts paid to acquire capital assets are capitalized as
assets in the enterprise fund financial statements, rather than reported as an expenditure.
Proceeds of long-term debt are recorded as a liability in the enterprise fund financial
statements, rather than as another financing source. Amounts paid to reduce long-term
indebtedness of the enterprise fund are reported as a reduction of the related liability, rather
than as an expenditure.
Internal service funds are also presented in these statements. However, internal service
balances and activities have been combined with the governmental activities in the
government-wide financial statements. These Internal service funds account for charges to
other funds and departments for insurance, maintenance, and equipment acquisition.
Fiduciary funds are used to account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity or as an
agent for individuals, private organizations, other government units, and/or other funds.
(c) Fund Classifications
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund This is the primary operating fund of the City. It accounts for all activities of
the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Economic Development Program Special Revenue Fund This special revenue fund is used
to account for revenues and resources provided for economic development related
programs and activities.
Redevelopment Agency Debt Service Fund This debt service fund accounts for required
debt reserve balances and the payment of principal and interest on the Redevelopment
Agency’s bonded debt.
Cooperation Agreement Capital Projects Fund This capital projects fund accounts for
former Redevelopment Agency unrestricted tax increment funds transferred to the City
under the 2011 Cooperation Agreement and may only be used for qualified capital projects
identified in that Agreement to carry out projects for redevelopment.
Redevelopment Agency Capital Projects Fund This capital projects fund accounts for
capital financing and construction, including administrative activities of the Merged Project
Area.
The City reports the following major enterprise funds:
Refuse Disposal Fund This enterprise fund is used to account for the operation as well as
the capital assets of the City’s refuse disposal service.

(c) Fund Classifications (Continued)
Municipal Bus Lines Fund This enterprise fund is used to account for the operation as well
as the capital assets of the City’s transportation system.
Sewer Enterprise Fund This enterprise fund is used to account for the maintenance and
operation as well as the capital assets of the City’s sewage disposal service.
(d) Encumbrances
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments
for the expenditure of funds are recorded in order to restrict that portion of the fund
balance, is employed in the governmental funds. Encumbrances are reported as restrictions
of fund balances since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities.
(e) Cash and Investments
Investments are reported in the accompanying balance sheet at fair value, except for certain
certificates of deposit and investment contracts that are reported at cost because they are
not transferable and they have terms that are not affected by changes in market interest
rates.
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. The City
pools the cash and investments of all funds, except for assets held by fiscal agents. Each
fund’s share in this pool is displayed in the accompanying financial statements as cash and
investments.
(f) 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, and have an original maturity date of 3 months or less. Cash
equivalents represent the proprietary funds’ share in the cash and investment pool of the
City. Certain restricted assets and deposits of proprietary funds consist of investments
which are not considered to be cash equivalents as defined above and therefore are
excluded from the statements of cash flows.
(g) Inventories
Inventories are stated at average cost. Physical counts of inventory are taken on a cyclical
basis during each fiscal year with perpetual records adjusted to actual at that time. The City
uses the consumption method of accounting for inventories.

(h) Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements
outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either “due to/from other funds”
(i.e. the current portion of interfund loans) or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e., the
noncurrent portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are
reported as “due to/from other funds”.
(i) Property Taxes
Under California law, property taxes are assessed and collected by the counties up to one
percent (1%) of assessed value, plus other increases approved by the voters. The property
taxes go into a pool, and are then allocated to the cities based on complex formulas.
Accordingly, the City accrues only those taxes that are received within 60 days after year
end.
The property tax calendar is as follows:
Lien Date: January 1
Levy Date: July 1
Due Date: First Installment – November 1
Second Installment – February 1
Delinquent Date: First Installment – December 11
Second Installment – April 11
(j) Claims and Judgments
City records a liability for litigation, judgments, and claims when it is probable that an asset
has been impaired or a liability (including incurred but not reported) has been incurred prior
to year end and the probable amount of loss (net of any insurance coverage) can be
reasonably estimated. This liability is recorded in the Risk Management Fund.
(k) Employee Leave Benefits
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 16, a liability is recorded for unused vacation and
similar compensatory leave balances since the employees’ entitlement to these balances are
attributable to services already rendered and it is probable that virtually all of these
balances will be liquidated by either paid time off or payments upon termination or
retirement.
Under GASB Statement No. 16, a liability is recorded for unused sick leave balances only
to the extent that it is probable that the unused balances will result in termination payments.
This is estimated by including in the liability the unused balances of employees currently
entitled to receive termination payment, as well as those who are expected to become
eligible to receive termination benefits as a result of continuing their employment with the
City. Other amounts of unused sick leave are excluded from the liability since their
payment is contingent solely upon the occurrence of a future event (illness) which is
outside the control of the City and the employee.

(k) Employee Leave Benefits (Continued)
If material, a proprietary fund liability is accrued for all leave benefits relating to the
operations of the Proprietary funds. A current liability is accrued in the governmental funds
for material leave benefits due on demand to governmental fund employees that have
terminated prior to year end. All other amounts are recorded in the government-wide
financial statements. These non-current amounts will be recorded as find expenditures in the
year in which they are paid or become due on demand to terminated employees.
(l) Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets, are
reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the
government-wide financial statements.
Capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or
constructed. Donated capital assets are valued at their estimated fair value on the date of
donation. Capital assets subject to lease obligations are valued at the present value of future
lease payments at the inception of the lease. In accordance with GASB Statement No. 34,
the City has reported all capital assets including infrastructure in the government-wide
statement of net assets. The City’s policy is to capitalize assets over $5,000 with a useful life
of at least three years.
Depreciation of all exhaustible capital assets used by the governmental and business-type
activities is charged as an expense against their operations. Accumulated depreciation is
reported on the statement of net assets. Depreciation has been calculated using the straight-
line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings and infrastructure 50-65 years
Other improvements 20 years
Refuse transfer station 50 years
Transportation equipment 5-12 years
Other equipment 3-25 years

(m) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses, during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(n) Prior Year Comparative
Selected information regarding the prior fiscal year has been included in the accompanying
financial statements. This information has been included for comparison purposes only and
does not represent a complete presentation in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, such information should
be read in conjunction with the City’s prior fiscal year financial statements, from which the
selected financial data was derived.
(o) New Accounting Pronouncements
Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 54
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the City implemented Governmental Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 54 (GASB 54), “Fund Balance Reporting and
Governmental Fund Type Definitions.” The requirements of this statement are effective for
financial statement periods beginning after June 15, 2010.
GASB 54 enhances the usefulness of fund balance information by providing clearer fund
balance classifications that can be more consistently applied, and it clarifies the existing
governmental fund type definitions. It establishes fund balance classification that comprise
a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which a government is bound to observe
constraints imposed upon the use of the resources reported in governmental funds. These
classifications are described in the Fund Equity section of this footnote.
The definitions of the General fund, special revenue fund type, capital projects fund type,
debt service fund type, and permanent fund type are clarified by the provisions in this
statement. The implementation of this Statement did not have any financial impact on
these financial statements.
Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 59
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the City implemented GASB Statement No. 59,
“Financial Instruments Omnibus”. This Statement establishes standards to update and
improve existing standards regarding financial reporting and disclosure requirements of
certain financial instruments and external investment pools for which significant issues
have been identified in practice. The implementation of this Statement did not have an
effect on these financial statements.

(p) Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance as nonspendable,
restricted, committed, assigned, or unassigned based primarily on the extent to which the
City is bound to honor constraints on how to specific amounts can be spent.
• Nonspendable fund balance – amounts that cannot be spent because they are either
(a) not spendable in form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained
intact.
• Restricted fund balance – amounts with constraints placed on their use that are
either (a) externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or
regulations of other governments; or (b) imposed by law through constitutional
provisions or enabling legislation.
• Committed fund balance – amounts that can only be used for specific purposes
determined by formal action of the City’s highest level of decision-making
authority (the City Council) and that remain binding unless removed in the same
manner. The underlying action that imposed the limitation needs to occur no later
than the close of the reporting period.
• Assigned fund balance – amounts that are constrained by the City’s intent to be
used for specific purposes. The intent can be established at either the highest level
of decision making, or by a body or an official designated for that purpose.
• Unassigned fund balance – the residual classification for the City’s funds that
include amounts not contained in the other classification.
The City Council establishes, modifies or rescinds fund balance commitments by passage
of an ordinance or resolution. This is done through adoption of the budget and subsequent
budget amendments that occur throughout the fiscal year.
Fund Balance Policy
The City believes that sound financial management principles require that sufficient funds
be retained by the City to provide a stable financial base at all times. To retain this stable
financial base, the City needs to maintain unrestricted fund balance in its funds sufficient to
fund cash flows of the City and to provide financial reserves for unanticipated expenditures
and/or revenue shortfalls of an emergency nature. Committed, assigned, and unassigned
fund balances are considered unrestricted.
The purpose of the City’s fund balance policy is to maintain a prudent level of financial
resources to protect against reducing service levels or raising taxes and fees because of
temporary shortfalls or unpredicted one-time expenditures.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
June 30, 2011
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(p) Fund Equity (Continued)
Fund Balance Policy (Continued)
It is a goal of the City to maintain a general operating reserve of, at a minimum, 25% of
projected General fund operating expenditures for each fiscal year and an additional 5% for
emergency situations (excluding debt service, fund transfers, and encumbered funds).
These reserves are designed to be used in the event of a significant financial emergency.
Should the General fund reserve fall below 30%, the City will implement measures to
restore the reserve percentage to 30% in the following fiscal year.
The unreserved portion of General Fund Fund Balances can be loaned to the
Redevelopment Agency or to Refuse or Sewer Funds for a total amount no to exceed 50%
of the “Unreserved” fund balance shown in the most current Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report (CAFR).
a. Such loans should be for a term of five years or less and have a call provision of no
more than 120 days. Furthermore, the loan must be secured by assets such as real
property, tax increment funds, or secured by the user fee and/or other sound funding
source.
b. The interest rate for a loan originated by the City will be determined by the Chief
Financial Officer and should be set based on rates of investments and/or loans with
comparable terms on or about the date the loan is executed.
c. Such loan shall be considered as part of the reserve calculation.
The City shall establish, at the beginning of each fiscal year, an “appropriated reserve” to
provide finding for special projects/programs approved by the City Council after the annual
budget is adopted, for unanticipated expenditures of a nonrecurring nature, or to meet
unexpected increases in current service delivery costs. The amount of this reserve will be
approved annually by the City Council.
A portion of any uncommitted fund balance in excess of 30% of annual revenues resulting
from the previous fiscal year’s operations should be committed to capital improvement
projects or should be used to retire existing debt, fund future liabilities or potential
legislative impacts, establish or replenish equipment replacement funds, and/or establish or
replenish deferred maintenance funds.
One-time funds should not be used to fund ongoing City programs. Any one-time revenue
receipt during the fiscal year should be recognized and recorded in a “non-recurring
revenue source” category. One-time revenue windfalls include, but are not limited to: sales
of city-owned real estate, CalPERS rebates, lump sum (net present value) savings from debt
restructuring, litigation settlement, unexpected revenues, and other similar sources of
revenue as designated by the City Council.

Risk Management Fund – The costs to pay employees on Workers’ Compensation related
salary continuance were less in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. Additionally, there was
an overall decrease in total future liability exposure from workers compensation and general
liability claims as determined by an actuary. The decrease in total claims liability exposure
was exceeded by the actual claims costs paid during the fiscal year. As a result, claims and
settlements reflect a negative expenditure.
Parking Authority Fund – The City is reviewing changes to various parking operations and
procedures to eliminate the fund’s deficit.
CDBG Capital and Cooperative Projects Funds – Future revenue should be sufficient to offset
these negative balances.
RDA Capital Projects Fund – This arose as a result of the Cooperation agreements with the
City. Future tax increment should be sufficient to return to positive fund balance.

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 shorter term and longer 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. For purposes of the
schedule shown below, any callable securities are assumed to be held to maturity.

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. Presented on the following page is the minimum rating
required by (where applicable) the California Government Code, the City’s investment policy, or

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 fair market
value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% 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% of the secured public
deposits.
For investments identified herein as held by bond trustee, the bond trustee selects the investment
under the terms of the applicable trust agreement, acquires the investment, and holds the
investment on behalf of the reporting government.
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 entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). The
balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which
are recorded on an amortized cost basis. LAIF is not rated.

(a) For the three years ending June 30, 2006, the State of California required the Redevelopment
Agency to pay the total of $5,497,595 to the County of Los Angeles administrated Education
Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF). It also allowed the Redevelopment Agency to borrow
50% of that amount from the Agency’s Low/Moderate Housing Fund. Additionally, in June
2011 and 2010, the RDA had to make a payment of approximately $2.25 million and $11
million respectively for the Supplemental Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund
(SERAF). The agency can use accumulated balances in their LMIF to make their SERAF
payment. Thus this Special Revenue Fund has an advance to the Capital Projects Fund of
$2,748,693 for ERAF to be repaid at a term no longer than ten (10) years without interest and
an advance of $10,946,277 for the SERAF to be repaid by June 30, 2015. The balance due

1993 Tax Allocation Refunding Revenue Bonds
In November 1993, the Culver City Redevelopment Financing Authority (Authority) issued
$128,070,000 of Revenue Bonds. The net proceeds of these bonds were used to provide loans to
the Agency. The proceeds of such loans were used to advance refund a portion of the Agency’s
outstanding 1989 Series A and Series B Revenue Bonds.
Loans to the Agency from the Authority are at rates and payment terms identical to the
underlying Revenue Bonds of the Authority; the required Reserve and Debt Service Funds for the
Revenue Bonds are maintained by the Agency; and the Agency reimburses the Authority for all of
its other net costs, expenses or losses; therefore, the transactions of the Authority are included in
the financial statements of the Agency and the transactions between the Agency and the
Authority are eliminated for financial statement purposes.
In April 2004, the Agency issued $83,470,000 in Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds 2004 Series A
to advance refund $81,790,000 of outstanding 1993 Tax Allocation Refunding Revenue Bonds.
The remaining outstanding term bonds of $19,800,000 at June 30, 2011 are maturing in 2014 and
are secured by pledged tax revenues. They are subject to mandatory redemption in part by lot on
November 1 of each year commencing November 1, 2009, through maturity from sinking fund
payments, in the amounts of $4,100,000 to $5,355,000 with an interest rate of 5.50%.

1999 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds Series A and B
In October 1999, the Agency issued a total of $51,475,000 in bonds consisting of $31,940,000 in
1999 Series A Bonds (FSA Insured) and $19,535,000 in 1999 Series B Bonds (uninsured). The
Agency sold the bonds to the Financing Authority which then resold the bonds to affect a
negotiated bonds sale. The 1999 bonds were issued to refinance most of the remaining
outstanding 1989 Bonds and generate new bond proceeds to finance redevelopment project
activities within the merged Culver City Redevelopment Project. The bonds are secured by and
payable from tax revenues from the Agency’s Merged Culver City Redevelopment Project.
1999 Series A Tax Allocation refunding Bonds (FSA Insured) – The 1999 Series A Revenue

Note 12 Claims and Judgments
Self-Insurance:
At June 30, 2011 the City was self-insured for workers’ compensation claims, unemployment
insurance, general and automotive liability. The self insurance program is accounted for in the
Risk Management Internal Service Fund. At June 30, 2011, the City reserved $20,221,513 for
unpaid workers’ compensation and general liability claims, representing estimated amounts to be
paid for actual claims and claims incurred but not reported, based upon actuarial evaluations for
each program.
The City pays all claims up to $1,000,000 per claim arising from general and automotive liability
claim actions brought against the City. Amounts in excess of $1,000,000 per claim, up to
$20,000,000 are covered by excess insurance policies secured through the Independent Cities
Risk Management Authority (ICRMA).
ICRMA has 29 member cities, and each appoints one member to the ICRMA Governing Board.
ICRMA is considered a self-sustaining risk pool that will provide coverage for its members for up
to $5,000,000 per insured occurrence for liability claims and statutory limits for workers’
compensation claims.
During the past three fiscal years none of the above programs of protection have had settlements
or judgments that exceeded pooled or insured coverage. There have been no significant reductions
in pooled or insured liability coverage from the prior year.

Note 13 Defined Benefit Pension Plan (PERS)
The City of Culver City contributes to the California Public Employees Retirement System
(PERS), an agent multiple-employer public employee defined benefit pension plan. PERS
provides retirement, disability benefits, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries.
PERS acts as a common investment and administrative agent for participating public entities
within the State of California. Copies of PERS’ annual financial reports may be obtained from its
executive office at 400 “P” Street, Sacramento, California 95814.
Miscellaneous Plan Participants are required to contribute 2% of their annual covered salary. The
City makes the contributions required of City employees on their behalf and for their account.
Benefit provisions and all other requirements are established by state statute and City contracts
with employee bargaining groups.
For each of the fiscal years shown below, the City has contributed at the actuarially determined
rate provided by PERS’ actuaries. Under GASB Statement No. 27, an employer reports an annual
pension cost (APC) equal to the annual required contribution (ARC) plus an adjustment for the
cumulative difference between the APC and the employer’s actual plan contributions for the year.
The cumulative difference is called the net pension obligation (NPO). The ARC for the period
July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011 has been determined by an actuarial valuation of the plan as of June
30, 2008. The contribution rate indicated for the period is 26.519 % of payroll for the safety plan
and 12.192% of payroll for the miscellaneous plan. In order to calculate the dollar value of the
ARC for inclusion in financial statements prepared as of June 30, 2011, this contribution rate
would be multiplied by the payroll of covered employees that was actually paid during the period
July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011.

Initial unfunded liabilities are amortized over a closed period that depends on the plan’s date of
entry into CalPERS. Subsequent plan amendments are amortized as a level percentage of pay
over a closed 20-year period. Gains and losses that occur in the operation of the plan are
amortized over a 30 year rolling period, which results in an amortization of 6% of unamortized
gains and losses each year. If the plan’s accrued liability exceeds the actuarial value of plan
assets, then the amortization payment on the total unfunded liability may not be lower than the
payment calculated over an open 30 year amortization period.
The City of Culver City has individual plans for both safety and miscellaneous employees. The
Schedules of Funding Progress below show the recent history of the actuarial value of assets,
actuarial accrued liability, their relationship, and the relationship of the unfunded actuarial

Plan Description
In addition to the retirement plan described in Note 13, the City of Culver City’s Retiree Insurance
Program (RIP) provides retiree healthcare benefits for eligible City employees and their spouses
who retire with CalPERS pension benefits immediately upon termination of employment from the
City. Benefit provisions are established and may be amended by the City Council. The actuarial
valuation of the City’s RIP was adopted by the City Council in May of 2008. Copies of CalPERS
annual financial report may be obtained from their executive office: 400 “P” Street, Sacramento,
California 95814.
Under the program, the City pays a portion of the premiums for retiree medical coverage.
Participants who retired before January 1, 2007 are eligible for a City contribution up to 100% of
the average of Kaiser and PERSCare Premiums. For retirees on or after January 1, 2007, the City
pays 70% of the PERSCare premium and 95% of the premium for all other plans.
Eligibility
Employees of the City are eligible for retiree health benefits if they are between 50-55 years of
age as of the last day of work prior to retirement and are a vested member of CaIPERS.
Membership in the plan consisted of the following at July 1, 2009, the date of the latest actuarial
valuation:

Funding Policy
The obligation of the City to contribute to the plan is established and may be amended by the City
Council. Employees are not required to contribute to the plan. The City is required to contribute
the annual required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in
accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of funding
that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any
unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years. The
ARC for fiscal year 2010-11 was $11,754,000, 23.6% of estimated covered payroll.
Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation
The City’s annual other postemployment benefit (OPEB) cost (expense) is calculated based on the
annual required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in
accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level of
funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize
any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or finding excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years. The
following table shows the components of the City’s annual OPEB cost for the year, the amount
actually contributed to the plan, and changes in the City’s net OPEB obligation for these benefits:

Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and
assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include
assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts
determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the
employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations
and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of finding progress, presented as
required supplementary information below, presents multi-year trend information about whether
the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial
accrued liabilities for the benefits.
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan
as understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of benefits provided
at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between
employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include
techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued
liabilities and the actuarial assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.
The actuarial cost method used for determining the benefit obligations is the Entry Age Normal
Cost Method. The actuarial assumptions included a 4% investment rate of return, which is the
assumed rate of the expected long-term investment returns on plan assets calculated based on the
funded level of the plan at the valuation date, and an annual healthcare cost trend rate of 10%
initially, reduced by decrements of .5% per year to an ultimate rate of 7.5% after the sixth year.
Both rates included a 3% inflation assumption. The UAAL is being amortized as a level
percentage of projected payroll over an open 30 year period. It is assumed the City’s payroll will
increase 3.25% per year.

Note 15 Deferred Compensation Plan
The City offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal
Revenue Code Section 457. The plan, available to all City employees, permits employees to defer
a portion of their salary until future years. In addition, there is a 401(k) plan allowed for one
individual.
All amounts of compensation deferred under the plan, all property and rights purchased with
those amounts, and all income attributable to those amounts are held in trust for the exclusive
benefit of the employee participants and their beneficiaries. Therefore, the accumulated assets of
the plan are not reported in the funds of the City. Pursuant to guidelines applicable to 401(k)
plans, these assets are also not reported.
While the City has full power and authority to administer and to adopt rules and regulations for
the plan, all investment decisions under the plan are the responsibility of the plan participants.
The City has no liability for losses under the plan, but does have the duty of due care that would
be required of an ordinary prudent investor. Under certain circumstances, employees may modify
their arrangements with the plan to provide for greater or lesser contributions or to terminate their
participation. If participants retire under the plan or terminate service with the City, they may be
eligible to receive payments under the plan in accordance with provisions thereof. In the event of
serious financial emergency, the City may approve, upon request, withdrawals from the plan by
participants, along with their allocated contributions.
Note 16 Restatement of Fund Balance/Net Assets
Beginning fund balance/net assets have been restated as follows:
Governmental fund statements
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the Redevelopment Agency reviewed its capital
assets and land held for resale and determined that 15 parcels previously reported as land held for
resale were actually capital assets of the Agency. The parcels’ cost and respective prior period
adjustment amounts to $7,628,573. The Agency also sold a parcel of Land Held for Resale in a
prior year but did not delete this from its asset holdings in the amount of $550,000.
The Operating Grants Special Revenue Fund was restated due to an understatement of Deferred
Revenue of $25,472.
A prior period adjustment was recorded in the Business-type Activities and the Municipal Bus
Lines Fund, a major proprietary fund, due to an overstatement of prior year due from other
governments in the amount of $932,548.
Government-wide statements
The City understated the capitalized value of building and improvements of the Cardiff parking
structure in the amount of $4,660,539. The Agency also sold a parcel of Land Held for Resale in
a prior year but did not delete this from its asset holdings in the amount of $550,000.
Note 17 Contingencies
The City is a defendant in various lawsuits which have arisen in the normal course of business.
While damages are alleged in some of these actions, their outcome cannot be predicted with
certainty.

Note 17 Contingencies (Continued)
When adopting its budget for fiscal year 2009-10, the state of California reflected in that budget a
shift of a significant portion of tax increment revenue from redevelopment agencies to school
districts for fiscal years 2009-10 and 2010-11. The California Redevelopment Association filed a
lawsuit challenging the legality of this tax shift. The lawsuit is currently in appeals court
following an initial verdict in favor of the defendant.
While a decision in the matter is still pending, the Agency was required to make the fiscal year
2009-10 payment of $10,946,277. The payment required and paid in fiscal year 2010-11 was
$2,253,645.
Over several years AT&T charged its customers Utility Users Tax on internet charges/use which
was not a taxable utility charge. Customers of AT&T filed suit over this practice and prevailed.
AT&T is claiming the City is now required to repay what AT&T remitted as tax to the City. The
City believes the amount to be approximately $250,000.
The Redevelopment Agency operates pursuant to the provisions of California Redevelopment
Law (Health & Safety Code Section 33000 et seq.). On June 28, 2011, the California Legislature
adopted Assembly Bill XI 26 (Dissolution Act) and Assembly Bill XI 27 (Continuation Act).
The express purpose of the Dissolution Act was to provide for the elimination of redevelopment
agencies, and to direct the orderly distribution of a former redevelopment agency's assets and
liabilities. The purpose of Continuation Act was to provide a voluntary alternative for local
governments to continue redevelopment activities. Taken together, these Acts require the Agency
and its sponsoring community (the City) to take several legislative actions to implement their
various provisions.
If the City, as the Agency's sponsoring community, does not elect to continue the Agency under
the provisions of the Continuation Act, the Agency will be deemed dissolved effective October 1,
2011. Under the provisions of the Dissolution Act, an "Enforceable Obligation Payment
Schedule" (EOPS) will be adopted by the Agency and presented to the County Auditor-Controller
for certification. The last official act of the Agency will be to provide a draft "Recognized
Obligation Payment Schedule" (ROPS) to a successor agency. The ROPS is subject to an
independent audit and a review by an independent oversight board. Once audited and accepted by
the oversight board, the County Auditor & Controller is directed to retain an amount of tax
increment sufficient to meet the ongoing cost of enforceable obligations, and then distribute the
remainder of revenues to the affected taxing agencies.
If the City elects to continue the Agency, the City Council must enact a non-binding resolution of
its intent to continue the Agency no later than October 1, 2011, and it must also enact an
ordinance agreeing to comply with the Continuation Act no later than November 1, 2011.
Pursuant to the Continuation Act, the City must then make an annual payment, which may be
reimbursed by the Agency. The required payment, which was calculated by the State Department
of Finance and released to the City on August 1, 2011, is $12,044,227 for fiscal year 2011-12.
Subsequent remittance payments will be calculated using a statutory ratio that will be applied to
the fiscal year 2011-12 payment and adjusted for inflation and other items. The Agency estimates
that the payment for FY 2012-13 will be $2,300,000.

Note 17 Contingencies (Continued)
The City has not recorded any liability related to these Acts in these financial statements. At the
close of fiscal year 2010-11 the amount of the required payment was not yet known. The
California Redevelopment Association, the League of California Cities, and two cities have sued
to prevent enforcement of the Acts. On August 11, 2011, the Supreme Court of California
(Supreme Court) agreed to hear the lawsuit and committed to issuing a decision by January 15,
2012. The Supreme Court also issued a stay of many elements of the Acts, including dissolution,
County actions required for continuation, and the required payment, until the Supreme Court
rules on the merits of the case. The deadlines imposed by the Acts with respect to affirmation of
continuation are expected to be re-set by the Supreme Court at that time, depending on its
decision. If the Supreme Court upholds these Acts, the realization of any costs related to the
Continuation Act is subject to an action by the City Council taken subsequent to the issuance of
this report.
Should the City Council elect to discontinue the Agency, it would then be dissolved and its rights,
obligations and responsibilities would be assigned to a successor agency. If the Supreme Court
upholds these Acts, the City Council will consider the ordinance required for continuation of the
Agency subsequent to the issuance of this report.
Note 18 Subsequent Events
On July 28, 2011, the City introduced the Continuation Ordinance. On August 22, 2011, the
Board of Directors of the Redevelopment Agency adopted the Enforceable Obligation Payment
Schedule and, on September 26, 2011, the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule and an
amended Enforceable Obligation Schedule. Both schedules are required by the Dissolution Act.
No other actions have been taken in light of the stay orders issued by the California Supreme
Court California Redevelopment Assn. v. Matosantos (SI94861). If the Dissolution Act and
Continuation Act are upheld, the Agency will be required to make a determination to continue or
to dissolve the Agency. These actions will be taken subsequent to the issuance of this report.
During the 2011-2012 fiscal year, the City entered into a contract to purchase an Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) system to replace the current finance software at a cost approximately
$1 million.

Net Assets are divided into three captions under GASB Statement No. 34. These captions
apply only to Net Assets as determined at the Government-wide level, and are described

A. Net Assets (Continued)
Invested in Capital Assets, net of related debt describes the portion of Net Assets which is
represented by the current net book value of the City’s capital assets, less the outstanding
balance of any debt issued to finance these capital assets.
Restricted describes the portion of Net Assets which is restricted as to use by the terms and
conditions of agreements with outside parties, governmental regulations, laws, or other
restrictions which the City cannot unilaterally alter.
Unrestricted describes the portion of Net Assets which is not restricted as to use.
B. Fund Balances
Fund balances of the governmental funds are reported separately within classifications based
on a hierarchy of constraints placed on the use of those resources. The classifications are
based on the relative strength of the constraints that control how the specific amounts can be
spent. The classifications are nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned
fund balance. The nonspendable fund balance classification includes amounts that cannot be
spent because they are either not in spendable form or are legally or contractually required to
be maintained intact. Restricted fund balances are those that have externally imposed
restrictions on their usage by creditors, such as through debt covenants, grantors,
contributors, or laws and regulations. The City does not have any committed fund balances at
June 30, 2011.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to
use restricted resources first, followed by the unrestricted, committed, assigned and
unassigned resources as they are needed.
Fund balances are presented in the following categories: nonspendable, restricted, assigned,
and unassigned.
C. Restricted Net Assets
Restricted net assets are net assets that are subject to constraints either (1) externally imposed
by creditors (such as debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other
governments or (2) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

Note 20 Related Party Transactions
On January 15, 2011, the Redevelopment Agency and the City of Culver City (City) entered into
a purchase and sale agreement whereby the Agency (as buyer) purchased a property located at
3846 Cardiff Ave., Culver City, CA from the City (Seller). The purchase/sale price was $14
million. As the Agency is a Component Unit of the City, the transaction is one between related
entities and no gain or loss is recognized. The difference between the carrying value and the
current fair value of the property is $8,081,889. The City earned $403 in interest as a result of
this transaction. The Agency transferred the Cardiff Parking Property to the Culver City Parking
Authority shortly after purchase for no consideration.
The Agency has no employees and utilizes the staff of the City of Culver City. Such staff
personnel are members of the Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) administered by the
State of California into which the City and its employees contribute. Specific attribution of the
Agency’s retirement obligation is not possible. Reference is made to the notes to the basic
financial statements in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the City of Culver City for
a detailed discussion of the status of the City’s retirement plan and funding capabilities.
The Agency indirectly reimburses the City for unemployment and workers’ compensation
insurance costs incurred.
The Agency rents its office space within City Hall from the City. The annual amount of rent paid
is approximately $225,000.
In January and February 2011, the Agency and the City entered into Cooperation and
Implementation Agreements whereby the City will purchase and receive certain assets, liabilities,
options, rents, leases, and other agreements. Under these Cooperation Agreements, the City will
be able to assist the Agency in carrying out its intended purpose – revitalize and eliminate blight
in certain areas within the Agency as well as provide affordable housing (additional information
in Note 21).
Under these agreements, the City purchased each piece of property for $10. The City will record
each piece at its original cost basis to the Agency with the difference as a transfer. The Agency’s
and City’s intent is to be able to continue the projects, agreements, and plans of the Agency.

Note 22 Major, Nonmajor, and Special Revenue Funds
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the Agency entered into a Cooperative Agreement
with the City of Culver City and transferred certain assets, liabilities, options, rents, leases, and
other agreements to the City. This transfer resulted in a significant change in the City’s financial
structure and required the creation of a number of new special revenue funds. A few of these
newly created special revenue funds are significant in size and therefore have been considered
Major funds in these statements. Consequently, some funds that have historically been
considered Major funds are classified as Nonmajor funds in these statements. In the interest of
clarity and transparency, the below table provides a roadmap for comparing each fund’s
statements as of June 30, 2010 to the fund’s statements as of June 30, 2011.

For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2011
Budgets and Budgetary Data
The adopted budget of the City consists of a resolution specifying the total appropriation for each
departmental activity, (e.g., Police Administration, Street Maintenance, etc.).
Total appropriations for each fund may only be increased or decreased by the City Council by
passage of a resolution amending the budget, with the exception of budget adjustments which
involve offsetting revenues and expenditures. In cases involving offsetting revenues and
expenditures, the Finance Director is authorized to increase or decrease an appropriation for a
specific purpose where said appropriation is offset by unbudgeted revenue which is designated for
said specific purpose.
The City Manager has the authority to adjust the amounts appropriated between the departments
and activities of a fund, objects within each departmental activity and between accounts within the
objects, provided, however, that the total appropriations for each fund does not exceed the
amounts provided in the budget resolution.
The level at which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations is the fund level.
All appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end unless City Council takes formal action in the form of a
resolution to continue the appropriation into the following fiscal year.
Budgets for the various funds are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). Annual appropriated budgets are legally adopted for the general,
special revenue, debt service, capital projects, and proprietary fund types.
The City did not adopt budgets for the 2011 Tax Exempt Bond Projects Fund.

90 132NON-MAJOR SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for specific revenues that are legally restricted for particular
purposes.
The City has the following Non-Major Special Revenue Funds:
Gas Tax Fund is used to account for state gasoline taxes received by the City. These funds may be used
for street maintenance, right-of-way acquisition and street construction.
Proposition A Local Return Fund is used to account for Proposition A funds received from the state.
Proposition A funds are voter approved local sales taxes for transportation-related activities. Proposition
A, approved by voters in 1980, is a one-half of one percent (0.5%) tax on retail sales in Los Angeles
County. The collection of this tax is administered by the County, which returns twenty five percent (25%)
of the collections to cities within the County. The balance of Proposition A tax funds are used for rail
development (35%) and discretionary purposes (40%). Almost the entire discretionary portion is used to
fund bus service provided by Metro and 16 other municipal bus operators within the County, including
Culver City Municipal Bus Lines.
Proposition C Local Return Fund is used to account for Proposition C funds received from the state.
Proposition C, approved by voters in 1990, is an additional one-half of one percent (1.5%) tax on retail
sales in Los Angeles County. Proposition C funds are allocated to the construction and operation of the
bus transit and rail system (40%), expansion of rail and bus security (5%), construction of commuter rail
transit centers, park and ride lots, and freeway bus stops (10%), and other transit related improvements to
freeways and state highways (25%). Each year, more than $1 billion dollars is generated in local
transportation revenue.
Measure R Fund is used to account for Measure R funds. Measure R is a one-half cent sales tax approved
by Los Angeles County voters in November 2008 and is to be used to fund new transportation projects
and programs. The Transportation and Public Works departments utilize the majority of this funding.
Proposition 1B Fund is used to account for funds received for a Transportation Infrastructure Bond
approved in November 2006 by California voters. Proposition 1B is a $2 billion dollar bond that is
apportioned to each City based on population. Funds can be used for improvements to transportation
facilities, projects that will assist in reducing local traffic congestion and for further deterioration of
transportation infrastructure, and projects that will improve traffic flows or increase traffic safety that may
include, but are not limited to, street and highway pavement maintenance, rehabilitation, installation,
construction and reconstruction of necessary associated facilities such as drainage and traffic control
devices, or the maintenance, rehabilitation, installation, construction and reconstruction of facilities that
expand ridership on transit systems, safety projects to reduce fatalities, or as local match to obtain state or
federal transportation for similar purposes.
Proposition 42 Fund is used to account for funds received by the City through the Traffic Congestion
Relief Act (TCRA) Exchange Program based on established guidelines adopted in February 2001. The
TCRA Exchange Program is intended to increase flexibility in the use of State and federal transportation
funding to complete transportation improvements without compromising other state funded projects or
activities.
Operating Grants Fund is used to account for operating grant funds resulting from the City’s federal, state
and local operating grants, and the qualified expenditures of these restricted funds.
Section 8 Housing Fund is used to account for assistance provided by the Federal government dedicated
to sponsoring subsidized housing for low-income families and individuals. The Housing Division in the
Community Development Department is responsible for managing and administering Culver City’s
Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP) to provide rental subsidies for qualified low-income
91 133households.
Art in Public Places Fund is used to account for the “Art in Public Places” program. The revenues for this
Fund come from developer in–lieu fees.
Community Development Fund is used to account for funds received from new development impact fees
collected on non-residential construction in excess of 5,000 square feet. These fees may only be used to
fund street improvements, traffic controls and traffic management projects.
CDBG Fund is used to account for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, and the
qualified expenditures of these restricted funds for administrative expenditures such as personnel costs.
Landscape Maintenance Fund is used to account for benefit assessment district funds received from
homeowners for special landscaping services of certain properties within the City.
Park Facilities Fund is used to account for funds received from development impact fees assessed on
subdivision/residential development. These fees may be used for the improvement and expansion of
public parks and park facilities throughout the City.
Asset Seizure Fund is used to account for funds received from federal and local seized and forfeited
properties. Such funds may be used for the detection and prevention of criminal activity, and the
apprehension of criminals through Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.), and other law
enforcement programs.
Housing Fund is used to account for former Low/Moderate Income Housing funds transferred to the City
under the 2011 Cooperation and Implementation Agreement (Agreement). These funds may only be used
for qualified low/moderate income housing projects identified in the Agreement.
Parking Authority Fund is used to account for the operations of the Culver City Parking Authority, which
currently includes the Cardiff Parking Structure. These funds may be used for parking related operations
and infrastructure improvements.
RDA/Low/Moderate Income Housing Fund is used to account for twenty percent (20%) housing set aside
funds as required by redevelopment law. These funds may be used for qualified low/moderate income
housing projects and programs.
Building Surcharge Fund is used to account for funds received from a four percent (4%) surcharge on
certain development related permit fees. The surcharge is used by City to fund digital imaging and storage
of plans and documents and technology improvements and maintenance to enhance customer service.

Note:
(a) Exemptions are netted directly against the individual property categories
In 1978 the voters of the State of California passed Proposition 13 which limited 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 of 2%). With few exceptions, property is only reassessed as a result of new construction
activity or at the time it is sold to a new owner. At that point, the property is reassessed based upon the added value of the
construction or at the purchase price (market value) or economic value 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.

Notes: Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the city. This schedule
estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the residents and businesses of Culver
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. The overlapping debt represents 2.20% of the City's 2010/2011
assessed valuation or $81 million.
