DISCUSSION
Redevelopment, directly and indirectly, promotes quality of life improvements for the
community. One of the important reasons for the success of Redevelopment is the ability of
local officials to design and implement programs that achieve goals established locally without
having to obtain state level approvals. Redevelopment benefits include blight elimination, job creation, affordable housing development, increased sales tax, transient occupancy tax generation, economic development, open space development, and implementation of public
projects, infrastructure improvements and pedestrian amenities. Redevelopment is a catalyst for
change as public improvements and investments leverage private investment and breathe new
economic life into the city.

Over the last ten years, the CDC has utilized redevelopment practices to develop over 7.6 million
square feet of development projects with an assessed valuation of over $450 million; created over
5,300 jobs; and over $8 million in new revenues (sales and property tax) to the City of West
Covina. In addition, the CDC has been a leader in providing assistance to increase and improve
affordable housing within the City. Since 1971, the West Covina CDC has provided funding to
rehabilitate over 2,113 affordable housing units through its (home improvement) housing
programs; assisted 142 first time buyers through the previous implemented First Time
Homebuyer Program; and has developed over 705 new affordable housing units in the
community. Without the effects of redevelopment, the following projects would not have
generated revenues to the City, State, schools and other entities. Some of the projects include:
West Covina Heights, Auto Center expansion, Sage Nissan, Citrus Grove, Nogales Medical
Plaza, The Curve, Elephant Bar Restaurant, West Covina Senior Villas I 86 II, Big League
Dreams, etc.
The CDC has adopted Five-Year Implementation Plans, which establish goals to support
economic development, commercial, community and institutional revitalization as well as the
creation and preservation of affordable housing. To implement the programs, activities and
projects associated with each goal, CDC had made redevelopment fund commitments based on
estimated available tax increment revenue and debt financing structures.
Currently, CDC is actively involved in the development of various projects that have been
identified in the 2010-2014 Five-Year Implementation Plan. Many of the identified projects will
accelerate the economic recovery of the City as well as ensure the creation of locally based,
quality jobs. The projects are listed in Attachment No. 1
On January 10, 2011, Governor .Brown released his Fiscal Year 2011-2012 budget proposal,
which has yet to be reviewed and acted upon by the State Legislature -. The Governor's budget
proposal to eliminate redevelopment agencies throughout the . State by' July 1, 2011 would
adversely impact local government. As such, the CDC's ability to carry out these objectives may
be limited. Pursuant to the California Redevelopment Law, Health & Safety Code Section
33220, certain public bodies, including the City may -aid and cooperate in the planning,
undertaking, construction and operation of redevelopment projects. Building on this sucCess,
CDC desires assistance and cooperation in the implementation and completion of these activities
(Attachment No. 1). It is estimated that the total cost for the implementation and completion of
these activities are estimated at $460,840,000. By entering into the Agreement, CDC will pledge
the unencumbered resources in the current FY2010-11 Budget; and the. Net Tax Increment
(defined as gross tax increment, less County Administrative -Fees, 'statutory pass-throughs to
other taxing entities and debt service) from FY2011-12 through the expiration of the project
areas. The purpose of this Agreement is to facilitate the implementation of the activities listed in
Attachment No. 1 pursuant to the terms and conditions outlined in the Agreement.
Under the Cooperation Agreement, CDC will enter into a contract with the City providing that,
among other things, the City will perform certain eligible activities on behalf of the CDC
including installation of publicly-owned capital improvements, public improvements, the
creation and preservation of affordable housing projects and 'other redevelopment projects
located throughout the West Covina Redevelopment Project Area and Citywide Redevelopment
Project Areas. The contemplated activities are beyond those normally. provided by the City and
are specifically intended -to assist CDC in addressing the removal of blight and prevention of the
recurrence of blight. The obligation to pay tax increment, as set forth in the Agreement, shall
constitute an indebtedness of the CDC for the purpose of carrying out the Redevelopment Plans
for each of the affected project areas.
Given the nature of the recommended action (entering into a cooperation agreement for payments
of costs associated with potential future redevelopment activities), conducting analysis under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is premature at this -time and is not currently
required. It should be noted that anticipated developments within each of the CDC's existing
redevelopment project areas -were evaluated as part of the,red.evelopment plan adoption process,
pursuant to the provisions of CEQA. In addition, each individual- capital improvement, public

improvement or affordable housing project/activity listed in this memorandum has already been
or will be reviewed separately in full compliance with the requirements of CEQA prior to project
approval and/or implementation, unless exempted under CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Each of the redevelopment programs and activities are more fully described in the project area's
respective Five-Year Implementation Plans, each of which have been previously approved by the
CDC Board following a duly-notice public hearing. The action will contractually commit
available resources and projected Net Tax Increment from each of the active redevelopment
project areas from FY2011-12 through the expiration of the project areas to the extent that such
funds are realized and available. There is no adverse impact on the City's General Fund as a
result of this action; funds will flow to the City to implement the Agreement.

DISCUSSION:
2010-11 BUDGET — MID-YEAR UPDATE
City of West Covina
MEMORANDUM
AGENDA
Item No.:
Date: February 15, 2011
TO: Andrew G. Pasmant, City Manager
and City Council
FROM: Tom Bachman, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: 2010-11 FISCAL YEAR MID-YEAR BUDGET UPDATE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council receive and file this report.:
General Fund
The 2010-11 Adopted General Fund Budget includes $48.9 -million of estimated revenues and
$52.7 million of appropriations, resulting in a $3.8 million deficit. .Revenues in 2010-11 - are
projected to decrease by 1.5 percent below the 2009-10 -totals while- expenditures are projected to
decrease by 1.6 percent. Since adoption of the budget, the City has identified an additional Prop
A exchange that resulted in additional General Fund revenue of $270,000. This has reduced the
2010-11 gap to $3.56 million. There will also be a limited amount of operating carryovers from
the 2009-10 fiscal year that will increase the gap to approximately $3.7 million.
Through the first seven months, there are some deviations from budget in certain revenue
sources, but in total, revenues are projected to be fairly close - to the $49.2 million adjusted budget
estimate by year-end.
Property tax and sales tax combine for almost 60 percent of the General Fund's revenues.
Property tax revenues will decline - this year for the • second straight year 'after showing
tremendous growth over the previous five years. That decline should not be as great as initially
expected and property tax revenues are now projected to be down 2 percent this year after
declining 4 percent in the 2009-10 fiscal year. Sales tax on the other hand- appears to have
bottomed out and should show a modest increase this year. Recovery of consumer spending
from the recession continues to be hampered by uncertainty hi the housing Market and continued
high unemployment. The City's recovery is furthered hampered by Vacant Commercial buildings
and dismal performance by certain auto dealerships. Property taxes should exceed their revenue
estimate for the current year while sales taxes are projected to be less than the budget estimate.
Most other revenues are performing at or near budget levels, albeit at reduced levels from .
previous highs as nearly all revenues have been impacted by the recession. While most revenues
have been impacted directly by the recession, another large General: Fund revenue has been
indirectly impacted by the recession as the result of downsizing of City staff: The City Charges
out its General Fund administrative functions via an overhead charge to other funds that receive
external funding. As the City has reduced its City Hall Staff 'and .adniinistratiVe Costs, there ate
lesser charges to be recouped from these other special funds. This has resulted .in a decrease of
this revenue source from approximately $2 million per year 'down to $1.6 Million (20%). The
one lone bright spot on the revenue side has been business licenses: that have continued to grow
during the recession, increasing by 33% over the last three years due in large part to increased
enforcement in targeted areas, especially wireless telephone providers.
A more detailed discussien Of the top 10 General Fund revenues is -provided in Attachment -1 of
this report.
On the expenditure side, most departments are either at or below where they should -be . in terms
of budget at this time of the year. The City will again realize signifidant savings' on its variable
rate bond debt service payments due to continued historically 'lbw-interest rates -that have
remained in the 0.25% - 0.50% range. This will allow the General Fund to again .reduce its
transfer to the Debt Service during the current year . Animal Control Costs are running.
significantly above budget due to increased number of calls for Service and animals requiring
housing. This program will be above budget this year and staff is evaluating ways to reduce
costs. The Fire Department budget for the current year included the elimination of one engine
company and the transition of one ambulance from a staffing level of two firefighter/paramedics
to two emergency medical technicians. The engine company was removed from service but the
ambulance transition required agreement with the firefighters association to be implemented due
to constant manning requirements in the MOU. Ultimately, agreement Was not achieved and the
transition did not occur. This has caused the Fire - Department 'budget. to run ahead of budget
through the first seven months of the fiscal .year. Four recent retirements should provide . some
budget relief in the form of overtime savings and two other full time :positions are being held vacant in order to achieve savings in an effort to meet budgetary goals:
The table below presents a summary of General Fund revenues . and expenditures through
January 31, 2011. As of January 31, 2011, the General Fund had received only 51.0 percent of
its estimated revenues compared to spending 56.3% of its appropriations and has spent $4.6
million more than it has received in revenues. While January is a big revenue month for the
City, there are still a couple of large revenue sources such as 'franchise' fees and the sales . tax
reimbursement agreement payment from the CDC that do not come in until later in the fiscal
year Expenditures are very consistent throughout the Year, as the majority Of costs - (83%) are payroll related and paid every two weeks..

Other Funds
Like the General Fund, most other funds have also been affected by the recession. Special
revenue sources, which fund specific types of ongoing operational services, have also
experienced declines, and like the General Fund, they are starting to bottom out and show sighs
of modest growth. Prop A Transit, Prop C Transit, Measure R Transit,- Prop .172 Public Safety
Augmentation, and Prop 42 transportation fluids are all based on . sales tax .revenueS. but are
distributed to cities .using different allocation, methods... While these funds have experienced
declines in the past few years, they have not been as significant as those in the General Fund and
they are now starting to show a little bit stronger growth than sales tax in the General Fund. Prop
A and C and Measure R are all Los Angeles County 'A cent sales tax revenues that are allocated
locally based on population and all are projected to .exceed last, Year's total as well as this year's -
budget estimates. Prop 172 sales tax revenues on the other hand, which are based on statewide
sales tax and fund public safety programs, is now projected to be lower. than. last years. revenues
as well as this year's,budget estimate.
Gas Tax revenue is based on a flat 18 cent per gallon tax and is. allocated to cities based on
population. This revenue sow-ce provides funding for the City's street maintenance programs.
Gas Tax revenue declined sharply over a three-year period before reversing • the trend and
increasing by 1.8 percent in 2009-10. In 2010-11, it is expected to be slightly below last year's
total and right in line with the current year budget estimate.
Two other revenue sources that support ongoing safety operations are parking fines and vehicle
code violations. Both revenues are projected to be below last.Siear's total as well as. below the
current year budget estimate. There are sufficient reserVeS :in the Traffic Safety Fund .so that the
budgeted transfer can be made to the General Fund during the current fiscal year but this will
have to be evaluated in the upcoming year.
In the CDC budget, assessed valuations decreased slightly in the Merged' Project Area by .34
percent while it increased in the Citywide Area by 1.5 percent. Both of these project' 'area are
expected to experience declines in assessed valuations as the county is now processing -the many
pending appeals on commercial properties. Additionally,' they shifted $6:5 'million from the
CDC to the ERAF fund in 2009-10 and the CDC is obligated to, spay an.additional -.$1.3 million to
FISCAL YEAR 2011-12 OUTLOOK

Assistant City Manager
. the ERAF fund in the current year-. The City borrowed the -$6.5 Million last year from the
housing fund to make this payment and will again borrow the $1.3 million this Year. •
As if the two-year transfer of existing redevelopment funds to the ERAF were not enough, the
governor has now proposed that all redevelopment agencies be eliminated as part of his plan to
solve the state's ongoing budget deficit. The outcome of this propdsal . is undertain and causes a great deal of uncertainty on the CDC and its . ability to promote ebonOmic development in the
City. An additional exposure that the City has to the proposed plan to.- eliminate redevelopment
agencies is that in addition to the CDC department staff that is fully funded by -redevelopment
funds, many other City staff members who support • redevelopment . activities: --charge approximately $800,000. per year in personnel costs to the agency that would have to be
otherwise absorbed or eliminated if this proposal is successful. •
The City faces a serious financial crisis that if not addressed over the next eighteen months- will
result in the City exhausting all of its available liquid reserves and being left with a budget
deficit. The City is projected to have between $6 million and $7 million in available reserves at
the end of the current fiscal year and the preliminary deficit for next _year is. projected to be $7:3
million. Simply put, the City must significantly reduce its ongoing structural deficit in the
General Fund for the 2011-12 Fiscal -Year and must balance the :budget by -the 2012-13 Fiscal
Year. This will require the -City to make adjustments to its -cbst structure and the Methods it uses
to provide services.
In addition to declining revenues Over the last three years that have resulted in lower resources,
the city has used up most of its available reserves. When combined with growing costs over the
next three years, the City will experience growing deficits that can: no longer .be funded with
reserves. The City's pension and medical costs have grown Substantially over the last few years
and will continue to grow over the -next several years. In order to offset these increases,- the-City
Council has identified these twe key areas in which cost containment -measures must be
implemented.
Staff has already presented the stumnary -budget information fOr2011-12• to the City .CounCil
including the size of the deficit and the projections. for the •following tWO years.' Based on
preliminary direction from City Council, staff will return to CitY' Council by -the end - of March
with a plan to reduce the deficit. -This plan -will include items that will riot only reduce the
immediate costs of services but also continue the restructuring of •the City's budget so that
service levels can be sustained by current revenues on an ongoing basis.

Properly taxes — Property tax revenues, which include the Supplemental in Lieu of VLF
amount, make up almost 35 percent of General Fund revenues. It is made up of two main
components, (1) property. ;taxes based on real property Iodated within the City, and (2) the
supplemental in lieu of VLF property tax that grows each year based on the increase or decrease
in the total city wide assessed valuation. Total assessed valuation in the City decreased in 2010-:
11 by 0.2% after- declining .2.4% in the prior year. Residential properties, which comprise 90
percent of General Rind property tax revenues, were down 0.4% as compared to a 3.7% decrease
in the prior year. .
The supplemental in lieu of VLF portion declined in 2009-10 by 2.4 percent ($209,000) due to
the decrease in total assessed valuation in the City. It will decrease by $18,000 (0.2%) during the
current year because this revenue source is tied directly to changes in assessed valuation. While
the decline in assessed valuation and property taxes has decreased from the prior year, the
cumulative decrease in property tax revenues in the General over the two-year period is
estimated to be $1.1 million (6%). There are still a large number of commercial assessment
appeals pending with the County. The revenue loss from these appeals could be between $1
million - $2 million. While most of these commercial appeals are within redevelopment project
areas, they would have an indirect effect on General Fund revenues to the extent that they lower
total assessed valuation in the City, which affects the supplemental in lieu of VLF portion.
Property tax revenues through January were $9,004,529 and are .projected to exceed their
revenue estimate for the year due to a smaller than expected decline in assessed valuations.
Sales Tax — Sales tax revenues, which include the triple flip, are at $6,228,528, or 51.9 percent
of its budget estimate through the first, seven Months of the year and include the first half of the
triple flip amount of $1,529,440. This is higher than the $5,726,667 amount at this time last year,
although some of the increase over this seven-month period is due to the size and timing of
advances from the state rather than a direct increase in sales tax revenues. Sales tax revenues
appear to have bottomed out and are beginning to show a modest increase after three consecutive
years in which. sales taxes revenues declined. The auto industry in general appears to have
stabilized but the City Still has certain . dealerships that are struggling. There are also many
vacant midsize and large stores ,still remaining in the City. The expansion of the mall that
followed the move of Best Buy to that location is ongoing and it is expected to help revitalize
that property. The other vacancies will take more time to re-tenant. In many cases, the new
tenants that move into those midsize and large stores will generate less sales tax revenues than
their predecessors.
. . . . . „
„
This growth is expected to be very gradual and will take another four to five years before it
reaches it previous levels generated in 2006-07. Sales tax peaked at $14.2 million in 2006-07
and last year 'generated $11 million, a 22.3% decrease• over that three-year period. The estimate
for the current year is $12 million, although it appears sales tax may fall a little short of that
mark.
. . Interest — Interest income is right where it should be at this time of the year., This is because
essentially all of the City's interest income of $2.4. million comes - from loans to the
redevelopment agency and is paid monthly to the City. .ThOse, rates are set in the agreements
between the City and the CDC. With diminishing reserves and interest rates at about 0.5 perCent,
the City receives very little interest income on its fund balances. . . . .
Franchise Tax Franchise tax receipts are only at $511,184 or 15.2 percent due to the fact that
large payments from the utilities are not received until later in the year and only one quarter's
payment has been received from both Athens . Disposal and Charter Cable. This revenue, source
should meet, or be slightly below its budget estimate of $3.3 million for the fiscal year.
Overhead Chargebacks — These are budgeted chargebacks to various department and funds that
receive external funding. This revenue source has been reduced in recent years as the. City cuts
back on staffing and other expenditures, there are less General Fund Costs to be charged back to
the other funds. . . • • ,
Ambulance Service — Ambulance transport revenues for the first seven months' are $824,998 or 44.6 percent of their revenue estimate with only six months of revenue received to date.'
Revenues for the same period last year were $857;268. This revenue source is projected to fall
short of its budget estimate of $1,850,000 for the fiscal year. •
Business License Tax -7- Business license revenues are-at $1,505,615 :(77.2%) throtigh -seven
months as the majority of business license renewals are due hr January:: This-is the one revenue
source that has consistently grown throughout the recession: :-While . all other: revenues- either
declined or stayed flat. This revenue sources is expected to. exceed its budget estimate of
$1,950,000 during the fiscal year.
• . . . • . . . . • Sales Tax Reimbursement — This reventie source reimburses the General Fund for current year
and prior year sales tax revenues that have been diverted: to the • Community Development
Commission for repayment of the CFD bonds. The Current year portion will not meet its budget
estimate due to sales declines at the Mall. The entire annual amount is repaid at the end of the
fiscal year. . . • . .
Transient Occupancy Tax — Transient occupancy taxes are at $336,110 (44.8 percent) and only
include six months payments. This is Slightly higher than last year's:total of $324,381 at the
same time of year. . This revenue sotnce has declined dramatically oVer the last twb fiscal years
as the recession has battered the hospitality industry and is now only starting to bottom out and
show slight gains. . . . . , .
Other Revenues — This revenue source contains all other- re -Venues, including the Prop A
Exchange and is at $3,352,383 (59.9 percent) for the year. These revenues, in total, should
exceed their budget estimate due to the sale of additional Prop A funds that resulted . in an
additional $270,000 in General Fund revenues. . • - . . •
Fund Transfers — This revenue sourCe includes transfers from the Traffic -Safety; Public Safety
Augmentation and West .Covina Service Group Funds. The Public Safety Augmentation Funds,
which are sales tax based, are down significantly like all other sales tax based revenues. This
decline should be offset by an increase in parking fines: This tev6iiue' Source,- in.total, should be

Most departments are on track at this point in the year to stay within their budgets. The City is
experiencing additional animal control costs as both calls for service and housing of animals are
seeing a significant increase in volume. City staff is working with the County to further evaluate
these- increases and will bring some options forward to the City Council to address this issue
during the budget process., The Fire . Department is running ahead of budget due to the inability
to implement the reduction of one ambulance that was part of the current year budget cuts. Four
recent retirements should help reduce overtime costs and two other positions are being held
vacant in an effort to achieve budget savings to offset the ambulance cost.

FROM: Shannon A. Yauchzee
AGENDA
ITEM NO.
DATE February 15.2011
Public Works Director/City Engineer
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR REALLOCATION OF PROPERTY TAXES
LOS ANGELES COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT NO. 21
(REORGANIZATION NO. 1-2000)
LOCATION: 2701 SOUTH WOODGATE DRIVE (EXISTING CHURCH)
RECOMMENDATION:
is recommended that the City Council adopt the following resolution:
RESOLUTION NO. 2011 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST COVINA, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING
THE JOINT RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE
COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF COUNTY
SANITATION DISTRICT NO. 21 OF THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES,
AND THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST COVINA,
CALIFORNIA, APPROVING AND ACCEPTING NEGOTIATED
EXCHANGE OF PROPERTY TAX REVENUES RESULTING FROM AN
ANNEXATION TO COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT NO. 21, BEING
REORGANIZATION NO. 1-2000.
DISCUSSION:
At the request of the property owner, the Los Angeles County Sanitation District (LACSD) has
submitted an annexation that includes four existing residential homes, located at 2138, 2142, 2146,
and 2150 Evangelina Street, and one existing church located at 2701 South Woodgate Drive for an
allocation of Annual Tax Increment Funds. In order for the properties to connect to the sewer,
LACSD requires the parcel be annexed to a Sanitation District.
Since the passage of Proposition 13, provisions of the California Revenue and Taxation Code have
been adopted which specify that prior to an area being annexed to a special district, the property tax
revenue for the area shall be reallocated, as previously negotiated between the agencies receiving
property tax revenue from the area. Many of the undeveloped areas in the City are not currently
annexed to the LACSD, and in order to develop, the area must be annexed to a district so that they
can receive sanitary sewer service. The LACSD provides both sewage treatment facilities and major
sewer lines connecting the City's sewer system to sewage treatment plants. The construction,
maintenance, and operation of these district facilities are funded by a combination of an ad valorem
property tax and individual sewer assessment fees.
ALTERNATIVES:
There are no other alternatives if the properties are to be developed with the sewer improvements in
accordance with the provisions of local ordinances and State statutes. If the City Council chooses
not to approve the proposed exchange of property tax revenues, the proposed annexation would not
go forward and the area within the annexation would not have the rights to receive sanitary sewer
services.

Page 2 — February 15.2011
FISCAL IMPACT:
The reallocation of the property tax proportionately reflects the existing tax allocation in the majority
of the City, which is already in the LACSD. The reduction in the City's future property tax revenue
in favor of the LACSD for the proposed annexation area is about 0.11% of the City's apportionment
of the property tax. A religious organization owns most of the land in the proposed annexation area
and since religious organization properties are not taxed, the amount being reallocated to the
LACSD is based on the four privately owned properties' assessed values. Since the assessed value
for these properties have yet to be determined, the amount of property taxes paid will be used to
determine the reduction in the City's future property tax revenue in favor of the LACSD.
The annual tax increment for the City of West Covina TD #1 is derived as follows:
Tax Rate Area 08298:
• Property Tax paid in 2010-2011 =$12,978
City's apportionment is $1,880.86 (14.4927% of $12,978)
Sanitation District's share is $2.03 (0.1078% of $1,880.86)
The annual tax increment for the City of West Covina Sewer Maintenance District is derived as
follows:
Tax Rate Area 08298:
• Property Tax paid in 2010-2011 = $12,978
• City's apportionment is $42.89 (0.3305% of $12,978)
• Sanitation District's share is $0.01 (0.0025% of $42.89)
The total adjusted amount represents a reduction of $2.04 of the City's annual tax apportionment
attributable to the land within the boundary of the annexation.
