JAMES C. LEDEORP, Ja. Mayor
STEVEN ft HOEBAVER Mayor Thu Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
LAHE bn EN( Councilnu'mt'or The staff and I are pleased to present the Fiscal Year 2009-10 budget that includes appropriations for the City of Palmdale, Palmdale Community Redevelopment Agency, Palmdale Civic Authority, Palmdale Housing Authority, Pafmdale Airport Authority and the Industrial Development Authority This message provides you with highlights of last year's accomplishments and describes this year's goals in six areas: public safety; economic development; recreation and arts; transportation; capital 38300 Sierra Highway improvements and technology.
l'almdale, CA. 93550-4798 The recommended budget includes significant reductions to General Fund spending as part of a comprehensive balancing strategy to mitigate the impacts of both declining [1: 661/267-5100 , revenues and rising costs. Revenue enhancements included a voter approved hotel tax increase, Pax: 6/2675122 administration fees for internal services to special funding sources, and fee increases to provide a more appropriate level of cost recovery on City services and programs ['Di): 661/2675167 Expenditure decreases of $7.4 million included a 10% personnel reduction through elimination of vacant positions and employee buyout incentives reducing the workforce from 289 to 256, reallocation of costs to special - funding sources, curtailing department expenditures for operations and contractual services, reducing and suspending employee benefits, imposing furloughs, suspending non-essential programs and services, eliminating commissions, reducing the frequency of City Council and I Planning Commission meetings, and delaying capital improvement. Despite these reductions, staff believes the recommended budget is balanced, fair, and in line with the overall priorities of our community.
The Fiscal Year 2009-10 expenditure cuts are in addition to the reductions kuxiliar)'aidsprol'idedJor already made in Fiscal Year 2008-09. These reductions totaled $10.5 million or 12.1% as compared to the 2007-08 financial plan. Cost saving communE ation acessi1'iliry measures last year included a 19% personnel reduction, postponing non- critical capital improvement projects, and suspending employee benefits, upon 72 hours' notice and request. I non-essential programs and services, and community contributions.
www. cit yofpalmdale. org BUDGET OVERVIEW
The budget is the formal document that provides the spending authority for the City's programs/projects during the next 12 months. By adopting the budget, the City Council formalizes our priorities and goals and provides the public with a clear picture of the services the City will provide. The City receives revenue from a wide variety of sources. Use of these funds is often restricted. To ensure that the revenue is spent properly, separate accounting funds are established to record the revenue and expenditures.
The recommended budget for Fiscal Year 2009-10 is comprised of all City funds, including the General Fund, special revenue funds, and the legally separate Community Redevelopment Agency, Housing Authority and Palmdale Civic Authority funds. Each fund accounts for distinct and uniquely funded operations. The recommended budget includes total combined expenditures of $219.8 million, with $163 million budgeted for operations and $56.9 million budgeted for capital projects. This information is summarized in the table below by fund type.
The General Fund is the primary and largest individual fund in the City and is used to account for revenues not specifically levied or collected for the City’s other separately distinct funds. City operations such as public safety, library, recreation, parks, development, and administrative services are provided from the General Fund. For Fiscal Year 2009-10, the recommended General fund operating budget totals $68.4 million and includes an additional $380,000 for capital expenditures.
Summary of Fiscal Year 2009-10 Recommended Budget by Fund Type
Operating Capital Budget Program Total % of Total General Fund $ 68,378,740 $ 380,000 $ 68,758,740 31.30% Special Revenue Fund 22,453,320 56,023,570 78,476,890 35.70% Redevelopment Agency Fund 61,673,610 - 61,673,610 28.04% Housing Authority Fund 4,739,440 - 4,739,440 2.16% Palmdale Civic Authority 5,703,520 450,000 6,153,520 2.80% Total $ 162,948,630 $ 56,853,570 219,802,200 100.00%
Special revenue funds account for restricted revenues and have a recommended operating budget of $22.5 million and a capital budget of $56.0 million.
The Redevelopment Agency, Housing Authority, and Palmdale Civic Authority make up the remaining $72.1 million in the total combined recommended operating budget and $.5 million in the total combined recommended capital budget. Each of these separate legal entities were created for a distinct purpose: the Community Redevelopment Agency to eliminate blight and provide low and moderate income housing in the community, the Housing Authority to work with mobile home parks located in the City, and the Palmdale Civic Authority to finance various projects of the City and the Redevelopment Agency.
ii The total combined recommended budget for Fiscal Year 2009-10 reflects a 1.5% decrease compared to the 2008-09 adopted budget and a 5.5% decrease compared to the 2008-09 revised budget. The decrease is attributed to the following items:
Decrease in Expenditures (in millions) Fiscal Year 2009-10 Compared to Fiscal Year 2008-09 Revised & Adopted Type of Expenditure From 2008-09 Revised Budget From 2008-09 Adopted Budget

CURRENT ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK
Pace of Decline in Economy Slowing
The U.S. officially entered into recession in December of 2007. The current economic situation is severe and this recession is expected to be one of the longest and deepest the U.S. has experienced in the past 50 years.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the broadest measure of the health of the U.S. economy. Growth in GDP entered negative territory in the fourth quarter of 2007. While the first and second quarter of 2008 showed sluggish growth compared to the fourth quarter of 2007, subsequent measures exhibited declines, with GDP re-entering negative territory in the 3rd and 4th quarter of 2008. The first quarter of 2009 marked the third quarter in a row that the economy contracted, shrinking at an annual pace of 5.7%. It was one of the largest quarterly declines in 27 years, second only to the fourth quarter of 2008, when GDP plunged at an annual pace of 6.3%.
iii Economists expect GDP to decline less sharply in the second quarter of 2009, nearly break even in the third quarter, and finally turn to a modest positive in the final quarter of the year.
Consumer spending currently comprises more than 70% of GDP. Between 2000 and 2007 the average American increased personal consumption by 44%. This accounted for 77% of America’s growth during the 7-year period. Consumers were spending more than they earned as this growth was primarily financed through home equity extractions of $2.3 trillion and by stock market capital gains.
For the first time in nearly 20 years household spending has been going backwards resulting from a sharp drop in household wealth as unemployment rises and consumers biggest assets – houses and retirement funds – lose value. Personal consumptions expenditures (PCE) were down in the third and fourth quarters of 2008 when compared with the immediately preceding quarters. Although there was a slight gain in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2008, PCE continued to lag in total when compared to any of the first three quarters of 2008. PCE for both March and April 2009 declined.
The recession has cut into demand for goods and services. Unemployment has been rising rapidly across the U.S., reaching a 25-year high in April, causing anxious consumers to cut back. In the meantime, households have been trying to insulate themselves against the impacts of the recession by increasing savings and paying down debt. Personal savings as a percentage of disposable income stood at 4.4% for the first quarter of 2009 increasing to 5.7% in April, as opposed to the negative annual savings rates seen in 2005 and 2006 and the near zero rates experienced during 2007. Additionally, households’ total outstanding debt fell in the fourth quarter of 2008 for the first time since World War II and has continued this downward trend into the first quarter and for April of 2009.
Unemployment Rates (Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics)
March 2009 March 2008 March 2007 United States 9.0 5.2 4.5 California 11.5 6.5 5.1 Los Angeles County 11.3 6.2 4.7 Palmdale 13.9 7.8 6.0 Lancaster 15.8 8.9 6.9
The number of unemployed persons has risen by 7 million and the national unemployment rate has grown by 4.5 percent. Moody’s expects that the U.S. economy will not see significant job creation until mid 2010.
iv Another key component of GDP is private sector investment in residential and non- residential structures and equipment. Residential investment is highly cyclical and leads other components in the business cycle because it is interest rate sensitive and is also dependent on consumer confidence (job security and anticipated income gains). Both residential and non-residential investment can be postponed/deferred during times of economic weakness, which is currently the case for this sector of the economy comprising approximately 15% of GDP.
Quarter-to-quarter residential investment entered negative territory during the first quarter of 2006 and has remained negative for 13 straight quarters into the first quarter of 2009. Non-residential investment entered negative territory in the third quarter of 2008 and is currently in its third consecutive quarter of decline. With credit being difficult to acquire and confidence still at low levels for both consumers and business, the trend of declining residential investment is expected to continue into the fourth quarter of 2009, while business investment is not expected to turn around until late 2010/early 2011.
Economists believe that a minor recovery will emerge toward the end of 2009 led by an improvement in household consumption and the housing sector, but the road to recovery will be long and the economy will not regain its normal course until 2011.
IMPACTS OF ECONOMIC CRISIS ON CITY
Local Perspective on Recession
While some U.S. regions and localities are experiencing the downturn differently, for the first time in postwar era, all levels of government are impacted with dramatic revenue reductions simultaneously. The City of Palmdale began seeing the effects of a slowing economy in October of 2007 and did not delay in actively addressing the decreases in revenue by reducing the City’s operating costs.
Beginning in the Fiscal Year 2007-08 and continuing through Fiscal Year 2009-10, the City has taken revenue and expenditure measures that have resulted in savings of over $35.7 million or approximately $11.9 million annually.
The economic crises has had the greatest impact on the General Fund, which relies heavily on sales tax, property tax, and development revenue to finance those services typically associated with local government – public safety, library, recreation, parks, building, planning, engineering and general administration.
Historic Declines in Key General Fund Revenues
The last three years have brought unprecedented declines in key revenues not seen in the past 19 years.
As shown in the accompanying table, the City realized a one-time, 6.2% decline in sales tax receipts in Fiscal Year 1996-97 totaling $470,000. For Fiscal Years 2006-07
v through 2009-10, the cumulative decline in this key revenue will total $5.6 million or 29.5%.
Property taxes and vehicle license fees will decrease in total for the first time in 19 Years. This revenue will fall by $3.5 million or 17.5% for Fiscal Year 2008-09 through 2009-10.
During Fiscal Years 1993-94 through 1996-97, Palmdale experienced a slowing in the housing sector that resulted in a cumulative decline in licenses, permits, fees and charges of $1.7 million or 34.1%. In comparison, the current recession for Fiscal Years 2007-08 through 2009-10 will produce a cumulative decline of $8.4 million or 45.8% in this revenue source.

When comparing consecutive years of decline, the 4-year period from 1993-94 to 1996- 97 produced a net revenue increase of $1.2 million because the decline in licenses, permits, fees, and charges were more than offset by increases in sales taxes, property taxes, and vehicle license fees. In stark contrast, the 4-year period from 2006-07 to 2009-10 produced a net revenue decrease of $10.5 million because this recession has affected all of the City’s key revenues.
The City has experienced declines in the past, but the magnitude of this economic crisis has been dramatic in that had revenues held at a level prior to each key revenue’s decline the City would have had $39.4 million more in resources for programs and services.
vi The Fiscal Year 2008-09 estimates and 2009-10 projections for sales taxes, property taxes, and licenses, permits, fees and charges are summarized in the table below. Based on the most recent data and the economic indicators discussed previously, these key revenues have been cautiously estimated. During 2008-09, these key revenues alone will be down by $6.1 million and for 2009-10 an additional decline of $3.8 million is projected.

Status of General Revenues, Expenditures, and Fund Balance Reserves
In addressing the recessionary impacts to our revenues, our main objective was to deal directly and honestly with the current economic environment, while minimizing service level impacts to the public, especially in public safety. This approach relied primarily on reducing costs, with minimum use of one-time revenues. As a result, total General Fund expenditures for Fiscal Year 2009-10 are projected to decrease $6,320,510 or 8.5 percent when compared to the Fiscal Year 2008-09 revised budget. If Fiscal Year 2008-09 or 2009-10 revenues exceed projections, replenishment of the reserve to the minimum level would be recommended to City Council.
Total General Fund revenues for Fiscal Year 2009-10 are projected to decrease $2,946,550 or 7.1 percent, when compared to the Fiscal Year 2008-09 revised budget. The continuing projected decrease in revenue is due to the on-going decline in the housing market that impacts our development, property tax and property tax in-lieu revenues. Additionally, sales tax continues to fall as consumers spend less to mitigate the effects of the recession. The budget summary includes a detailed analysis of all revenues.
It is City policy to maintain a minimum general fund reserve of 10 percent of operating expenditures. This reserve policy protects the general fund, the main source of revenue for City operations, by providing a cushion for temporary revenue short falls or unpredictable one-time expenditures. This year the City will use a portion of this reserve as intended to mitigate the revenue decreases in order to continue providing necessary service levels for our citizens. The Fiscal Year 2009-10 budget projects a year-end fund balance reserve of $6,031,057, which is 8.8 percent of operating expenditures.
vii Potential Impacts of the California State Budget Crisis
The State of California is struggling with historic decreases in personal income taxes, corporate income taxes, and sales taxes, and faces a structural deficit of over $23 billion for the 2009-10 Fiscal Year. In a letter dated June 10, 2009, California State Controller, John Chiang warned that “the State will run out of cash in less than 50 days without correction by the Legislature and Governor” and further called for “credible and durable budget solutions”. The State’s inability to solve its structural deficit has become a chronic problem at the expense of local governments. Over the past 15 years, Palmdale has lost more than $17 million to State raids and has been forced to loan millions more in the form of withheld revenues. This year may prove to be no different, with several proposals on the table to either “borrow’ or “seize” local revenues to temporarily plug the State budget gap with one-time takes.
The following proposals are under consideration by the State to close California’s budget deficit:
• Proposal to take two years of local Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax (HUTA). Palmdale’s estimated impact would be a loss of $2.3 million in 2009-10 and $1.8 million in 2010-11. This funding source is used to fund our Street Maintenance and Traffic Engineering Division. Note: This “take” proposal is believed to be unconstitutional because it directly contradicts limits placed on the legislature’s use of these funds by Proposition 5 in 1974 and Proposition 2 in 1998.
• Proposal to take redevelopment funds for three years beginning with 2008-09. Palmdale’s Redevelopment Agency impact would be a loss of $2.4 million each year totaling $7.2 million. A Superior Court judge ruled the “take” as unconstitutional, but apparently the Budget Conference Committee believes that language directing the money be spent on schools in redevelopment project areas would address the Constitutional challenge. The Community Redevelopment Association attorney’s disagree.
• Proposal to borrow local Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax. Palmdale’s estimated impact would be a loss of $2.4 million in 2009-10.
• Proposal to borrow local property tax. Palmdale’s estimated impact would be $1.9 million of General Fund revenues.
• Proposal to borrow Proposition 42 Local Street & Road funding. Palmdale’s estimated impact would be a loss of $1.3 million in 2008-09, $1.4 million in 2009- 10, and $1.5 million in 2010-11.
Repayment with interest within 3 years would be required under the Constitution on the proposals to borrow local revenue. Although the Budget Conference Committee rejected the proposals to borrow local property tax and Proposition 42 funding, there are rumors circulating through the Capital that the Committee may reverse these decisions. There is currently no provision for any of the above proposals included in the
viii recommended budget. If just one of these proposals occurs, Palmdale will be faced with further tough decisions to balance this year’s budget.
HUMAN RESOURCES
As one of the cost savings measures implemented in Fiscal Year 2008-09, the City withdrew from PERS health plans and adopted self-funded health insurance programs for employees. In addition, the City went out to bid for other insurance plans and realized additional cost savings.
Other projects included revision of the Human Resources Rules and Regulations, development of a new evaluation system for department heads and research on the City’s succession plan.
Additionally, the department launched a web based Youth Resource Guide and an employee Brown Bag Lunch series modeled on the Partner’s Academy. More volunteer opportunities were identified in the City and programming was expanded at the Neighborhood Houses.

CITY CLERK
2009 Election
An election will be held November 3, 2009 to elect a Mayor and two Council members. The City has approximately 57,243 registered voters. The City Clerk is the official filing officer who administers federal, state, county and local procedures through which the election process functions to elect City officials. The City Clerk works directly with incumbents, candidates and the public and is the primary contact for all candidates and citizens wanting election information. Palmdale consolidates with the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder's office for various election services including Sample Ballot and Voter's Pamphlet, Election Day voting, ballot tallying and official canvass of the election.
xi Records Management
The City’s Records Management Program preserves and protects public records. The Electronic Document and Imaging Program handles comprehensive records in both hard and electronic form. Staff prepares records for imaging, performs quality control, registers and electroncially archives documents and plans. Staff currently retrieves up to 290 records a year. The RMConsole program provides City Staff and the public easy access to archived documents and information.
The City Clerk and City Attorney Staff will upgrade the City’s Retention and Destruction policy to be in line with the State’s guidelines to reduce storage in order to relocate from the current off-site location to a smaller facility at a future date. In addition, once the City’s vault is complete, permanent and other appropriate documents will be relocated there.
PUBLIC SAFETY AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS
Public safety continues to be a top priority of the City and this year more than $22,282,190 million is budgeted for public safety efforts. Through the Partners for a Better Palmdale initiative, Palmdale is realizing its mission to become the safest, healthiest and most vibrant city possible. Some key successes related to public safety and community relations include:
• Increased particiapation in the Neighborhood and Apartment Watch programs by 28%; • Increased volunteer participation in the Adopt-a-Wall program by 107%; • Increased graffiti restitution collection by 33%; • Hired a full-time emergency services coordinator; and • Received a $100,000 Emergency Operations Center (EOC) technology grant, earmarked to update the City’s EOC equipment.
The Palmdale School District recently adopted the BEST Behavior Practices Program creating a standardized district-wide behavorial intervention program. This program is designed to motivate, train, and support students in appropriate classroom, school, and community behaviors. The Warnack Incentive for Noticing Great Students (WINGS) program is an integral part of the District’s BEST Behavior Program. The WINGS program was introduced at two high-risk schools centrally located in Palmdale, Tamarisk Elementary School and Cactus Middle School this spring. The first year of the WINGS program will be jointly funded by the Palmdale School District, community member A.C. Warnack, and the City of Palmdale with the City contributing $50,000.The goal of WINGS is to reduce behavioral dysfunction, increase student achievement and create civic awareness.
Law Enforcement
Palmdale’s law enforcement efforts have paid off with another year of reductions in the crime rate. Palmdale gang deputies work with California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers
xii in the California Gang Reduction, Intervention and Prevention (CalGRIP) program to reduce gang violence. Another component of the Sheriff’s anti-gang strategy is increased graffiti enforcement using deputies from the County’s Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Bureau to assist Palmdale’s dedicated graffiti investigator with probation and parole sweeps focusing on identified graffiti vandals.
Palmdale’s Burglary Task Force, in partnership with local businesses, is using tracking devices and advanced video surveillance equipment to reduce both residential and commercial burglaries. Palmdale station has added a second ALPR vehicle that records up to 1,000 photos and license plates per hour, checking for warrants as deputies drive down the street. The data is stored for detectives to use later in identifying suspects’ cars that have been recorded in an area where a crime was later discovered.
For the sixth year in a row, the City has seen a reduction in the crime rate including a 10% reduction in Part I crimes. This continued reduction is a testament to a strong crime prevention program and intelligent police work.
Partners Against Crime
Entering its seventeenth year, the Partners Against Crime (PAC) program continues to be a cornerstone of the city’s crime containment and prevention strategy. This program brings together key players from the Sheriff’s Department; staff from the City’s public safety, code enforcement, building and safety, city attorney and housing; officers from probation, parole, Section 8 investigation and community partners who are dedicated to preserving the quality of life in Palmdale. Falling under the umbrella of PAC is Graffiti Investigations, the Career Criminal Apprehension Team and Youth Crimes Task Force. These teams work to reduce Part I crimes.
Funded by the City, Palmdale Section 8 Investigations is also assigned to the PAC team, working daily with the Sheriff’s department to eliminate fraud and prosecute crime occurring in this program. A main component of this program is the Landlord Training class. Since 1996, this class has trained more than 1,000 rental property owners and managers in techniques to reduce crime at their properties and providing safe housing for residents.
Crime Prevention
The crime prevention staff works closely with residents and business owners to establish watch districts throughout the city in the residential neighborhoods and commercial areas. Residents and business owners collaborate with the City and local law enforcement by joining neighborhood, apartment and business watch programs. Watch members identify issues and develop strategies to prevent crime or to solve neighborhood and retail crime problems. The number of community watch programs increased 28% in the last year.
xiii Community Service Officers
Community service officers are non-sworn City employees who work in coordination with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Four community service officers are assigned to the Palmdale Sheriff’s Station. They take report calls and perform other duties that allow deputies to respond to priority and emergent calls for service. The community service officers also assist city code and parking enforcement, report graffiti locations for removal, identify vacant homes and work with Southern California Edison to report street light repair issues. Two of the community service officers are trained to fingerprint crime scenes. The community service officers assigned to the Palmdale Station write approximately 2,400 reports annually and respond to nearly 2,700 calls for service.
Emergency Preparedness
Staff participates on the Antelope Valley Emergency Management Council to coordinate response and recovery activities with all local stakeholders. Staff sits on the board of the Disaster Management Area B, which includes the cities of Lancaster, Santa Clarita, Malibu, Agoura Hills, Hidden Hills, Calabasas, Westlake Village and Los Angeles County to coordinate emergency preparedness activities on a regional basis.
In the fall, the City, in cooperation with the Los Angeles County Public Health Department, will participate in a community point of dispensing (POD) exercise. The exercise is designed to simulate the large-scale distribution of preventive medication in the event of a disaster or public health incident that results in the exposure of a significant number of people.
Parking Enforcement and Administrative Citation Division
The parking enforcement and administrative citations staff addresses blight caused by abandoned, inoperative, and illegally parked vehicles. Staff processes citations issued by public safety, code enforcement, building and safety and the Sheriff’s Department Through the administrative citation program, staff addresses community concerns for violations such as illegal firework use, loud music and parties, graffiti and illegal businesses. In Fiscal Year 2008-09, staff responded to over 1,200 calls for service and removed over 400 illegal vehicles found on city streets. In Fiscal Year 2009-10, residents will be able to pay their parking tickets online.
Park and Facility Security
Formerly designated the Park Ranger program, the City Council adopted a title change for this program in April 2009. Public Security Officers provide security by regularly patrolling City parks and City facilities. They enhance public awareness by answering questions pertaining to department policies and City ordinances while on patrol and negotiating solutions when problems occur. They also provide security for City events such as the Starlight Concert Series, Thursday Night on the Square and other events
xiv held at City facilities. Officers will be providing security to the Palmdale Transportation Center and the Park and Rides.
Families in Action
The Families in Action staff work cooperatively with many other agencies and organizations in the Antelope Valley to provide support, education and assistance to families and young people in Palmdale. In addition, the program offers case management assistance, mediation and conflict resolution, application assistance for families applying for Healthy Families state-sponsored medical insurance and taxi vouchers and bus tokens.
The program expanded last year and now consists of six different parent education classes, two of which are taught in Spanish, and two curriculums for children ten and up. The new curriculums are “New Baby, Now What?” and “Energize Your Relationship”. In Fiscal Year 2008-09, there were 47 different blocks of classes offered serving more than 820 parents and teens.
Families in Action continue to facilitate Teen Court, which is a voluntary diversion program for first-time juvenile offenders. The program allows certain juvenile cases to be heard by a jury of the juvenile’s peers rather than a judge. Staff also coordinated with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and Antelope Valley High School District to bring the Museum of Tolerance mobile learning center (SHARE) to Palmdale to increase tolerance and respect.
Fire Services
Two new fire stations were opened in 2008, one on the east side of Palmdale and one on the west side. Each houses a four-person engine company. There are now five fire stations, five engine companies, one truck company, two paramedic squads and two paramedic engine companies in the City.
The resources of thirteen additional fire stations with fourteen engine companies, a second Truck Company, a Hazardous Materials Response Team, a Heavy Rescue Team (USAR), and seven paramedic squads are seamlessly available when needed from the Antelope Valley Division of the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
A fifth Bell 412 helicopter was added to the air fleet, which brings the total to six Bell 412s and three Fire Hawks. One of these helicopters is stationed at Fire Station 129 on Avenue M and is staffed with two paramedics and one pilot trained for trauma emergencies as well as wildland fires. Additionally, the Los Angeles County Fire Department has one leased Erickson Sky Crane available during the fire season, a helicopter that can carry 3,000 gallons of water. There are also two leased Canada Air Super Scooper fixed wing aircraft available during the fire season that can scoop nearly 2000 gallons of water from lakes or reservoirs. Palmdale can also call upon the combined strength of the Los Angeles County Fire Department, the second largest department in the nation, when it is needed for large-scale situations.
xv ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The deep economic recession continues to plague communities across the nation. Palmdale has been impacted but continues to interest retail, commercial and industrial developers. Several development deals are in the works for new retail, commercial and industrial ventures.
Retail and Commercial Development
With a population of 151,346, Palmdale is the sixth largest of 88 cities in Los Angeles County. With an average household income of $66,219, Palmdale residents have discretionary income that attracts new retail chains and restaurant owners.
New businesses that opened in last year include Camille’s Restaurant, Claim Jumper Restaurant, Sonic Drive Thru, Forever 21, Buffalo Wild Wings, Fire Island Grill, Butler’s Coffee, Love Sushi, Smart and Final Extra, and It’s a Grind Coffee.
Development has continued in the 746-acre Palmdale Trade and Commerce Center. A new 7-story, 150-suite Embassy Suites Hotel is under construction and will open late 2009. Over 202,000-square-feet of medical and professional office building space is available for lease or purchase with an additional 130,000-square-feet in various stages of planning. The Palmdale Medical Center is under construction and is expected to open early 2010. The City is proceeding with the development of a conference center immediately adjacent to the new Embassy Suites hotel.
The City introduced the Business Economic Stimulus (BEST) Program in February 2009 in order to provide an incentive to residents to shop in Palmdale. Those who purchased a new car or motorcycle at the Palmdale Auto Mall received a $300 or $100 Antelope Valley Mall gift card respectively. Those who spend $300 in Palmdale restaurants or retail stores received a $30 gift card. This program was a rousing success and during its four-month run infused $300,000 into the local economy.
Industrial Development
The 120-acre Fairway Business Park is considered the premier business park in the Antelope Valley. Prominent businesses such as Delta Scientific Corporation, U.S. Pole Company and FedEx Ground Distribution Center occupy over 457,000-square-feet of building space. An additional 309,690-square-feet of industrial/commercial building space is available for purchase or lease. Eight lots remain available in the Park, totaling 35.42 acres.
Business Development
Businesses of all sizes often need help when dealing with federal, state and local regulations and the City offers assistance by managing the Antelope Valley Enterprise Zone and Foreign-Trade Zone. The City held the second annual business appreciation breakfast this spring to provide important information about business programs and
xvi resources to local businesses. Presentations featured the Antelope Valley Enterprise Zone, Palmdale Business Watch Program, South Valley WorkSource Center and the Palmdale Institute of Technology (AERO Institute).
Business professionals from the Small Business Development Center provide no cost one-on-one business consulting and no- and low-cost business training on a regular basis in office space at the South Valley WorkSource Center. The South Valley WorkSource Center in Palmdale will celebrate its fourth anniversary in October 2009. The Center, directly funded by Los Angeles County, with assistance from the Redevelopment Agency, helps to meet the needs of employers and job seekers in Palmdale and the south Antelope Valley area. This center has an entrepreneurial business focus to better prepare for emerging industry trends in the workplace.
Aerospace Industry
The US Air Force Plant 42 is one of the largest regional employers and a major force in the local economy. The City continues to be diligent in its lobbying efforts to keep jobs in Palmdale while realizing that it is unable to control decisions made by the federal government, which largely funds numerous aerospace programs at Plant 42.
In the fall of 2007, NASA Dryden opened an Aircraft Operations Facility at Site 9 at US Air Force Plant 42. Five specialized science platform aircraft will be housed at the facility, including the DC-8 Airborne Laboratory, the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), two ER-2 high-altitude aircraft and a Gulfstream-III multi- role cooperative research platform. An estimated 150 Dryden civil service and contractor staff will be working at the facility. In addition, visiting scientists from around the world will be based at the site while their experiments or missions are in progress.
The Palmdale Institute of Technology
The Palmdale Institute of Technology building is home to the AERO Institute. The AERO Institute represents a unique collaboration with the NASA Dryden Fight Research Center, the California Space Grant Foundation and the City of Palmdale. The Institute offers college-credit courses in business and multiple engineering disciplines from public and private colleges and universities around the country, including Purdue University College of Engineering, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, University of Southern California Viterbi School of Engineering and Pepperdine University. The Palmdale site also offers workshops and materials for educators teaching kindergarten through twelfth grade and is home to the NASA Exploratorium, a hands-on science exhibit.
Power Plant
Safe, affordable, reliable power is vital to keeping businesses here and attracting new jobs. Recognizing the need for improvements and additions to the electrical infrastructure in southern California, the City has been pursuing development of a 500-
xvii megawatt natural gas powered plant and a 50-megawatt solar plant. Inland Energy has been engaged by the City to obtain all necessary entitlements for the project.
In approximately four years, the City hopes to provide enough power to serve more than 400,000 homes in southern California. Due to Palmdale’s unique location in the high desert and close proximity to readily accessible transmission lines flowing into the Los Angeles basin, the Palmdale power plant will be a vital component in meeting the energy needs of the Los Angeles and Inland Empire regions.
Hospital/Medical Facilities
Infrastructure construction for the up to 250-bed Universal Health Services hospital at Tierra Subida and Avenue Q-5 began in 2005, and construction of the hospital began in 2006. The hospital, which is expected to open in early 2010, will have the largest emergency room in the Antelope Valley with 35 beds. The housing portion of the complex, called Summer Terrace, will also be completed in 2009 and will include up to 80 units of affordable senior housing. In addition, there will be two 60,000-square-foot professional medical office buildings on the site. The first of these buildings opened in mid-2008. The City provided the land and funded the off-site infrastructure, including roadways, traffic signals, streetlights, storm drainage, sanitary sewers, water and other utilities for the project.
Housing Programs
The Community Redevelopment Agency’s housing division offers numerous rehabilitation programs including the Community Outreach Program that began in 2004. Staff works in partnership with nonprofit groups to provide landscape assistance to very low-income families with almost $10,000 in grants awarded to date. Other programs for low- to moderate-income families are the Single Family Residential Rehabilitation Loan Program, Mobile home Rehabilitation Loan Program, Rental Rehabilitation Program, Emergency Grant Program and In-Fill Housing Program.
New Affordable Housing Projects
Los Angeles County donated five acres of undeveloped property at Avenue R and 27th Street East to the Community Redevelopment Agency for development of an affordable senior housing project. This 81-unit rental project called Cielo Azul began construction in June 2007 and opened for active seniors in mid-2008.
Courson Connection Project
Work will continue this year on the Courson Connection Project east of Poncitlan Square. Whispering Palms, the first of four phases of affordable senior apartment buildings opened in mid-2008 with 75 units for very low and low-income seniors. Phase 2, a 78-unit affordable senior rental housing project, began construction last year. Two subsequent phases of about 75 units each will be completed by 2012. A new 14,900- square-foot Senior Center began construction in mid-2008 and will open fall 2009.
xviii RECREATION, ARTS AND EDUCATION
PARKS AND RECREATION
Parks and recreation facilities currently include 311 acres of developed park land, four swimming pools, three recreation centers, a seven-field softball complex and five additional fields, a ten-field soccer complex and seven additional fields, two roller hockey rinks, two skate parks, a six-acre water park, a senior center, a meeting/banquet facility and an outdoor amphitheater.
Recreation Programs
A variety of programs and events are offered to meet the needs of the diverse community. Toddlers learn social skills, preschool children are introduced to a variety of activities and sports program participants learn good sportsmanship and athletic skills. Opportunities for teens include athletic programs, dance, martial arts, aquatics programs and recreation center services. Senior citizens enjoy a variety of programs that inspire healthy living and social exchange. Concerts, community events and water park amenities provide fun and relaxation for all ages.
Parks and Recreation Partnerships
The City continues to provide assistance to local youth soccer, baseball and football organizations. Agreements are in place with Palmdale Little League, Palmdale Pony Youth Baseball League and the American Indian Little League for use of facilities, City maintenance services and improvements to sites. The City also has an agreement with the Antelope Valley Boys and Girls Club for its use of space at the Hammack Activity Center.
The City offers after-school programs at a variety of locations. Currently there are three programs in the Westside School District at Cottonwood, Rancho Vista and Esperanza schools. Within the Palmdale School District, programs are located at Desert Rose, Chaparral and Mesquite schools. The City cooperates with the Antelope Valley Union High School District and the Palmdale School District, exchanging use of facilities through reciprocal use or facility use agreements.
City staff work with the Antelope Valley Services Organization Association to plan events throughout the year to honor our nation’s military service men and women. The cities of Palmdale and Lancaster work with the International Heritage Committee to host an annual celebration of cultural diversity held in each city on alternating years. Just recently at the 2009 CalFest conference, the department received three first-place awards for the Palmdale Fall Festival best new idea (Bella Pasarella), Fall Festival event photograph and the Thursday Night on the Square best marketing brochure.
xix Growth in Parks and Recreation Programs
The aquatics division has experienced enormous growth over the past few years. The City now operates four pools and provides well-trained lifeguards for DryTown Water Park. In the learn-to-swim programs for children ages two to seventeen, over 20,000 are expected to attend this year. The recreational swim attendance is projected to average 10,000 per month and the City expects over 55,000 people at the aquatics facilities this summer.
Palmdale’s family water park is preparing to open for its fourth season. Thousands enjoyed the water park’s amenities the past three summers. Back again this year is Sundown at DryTown when guests can dive into their weekend early. Extended Friday hours from 6:30 – 9:30 pm July 3, 10, 17, 24, 31 and August 7 will allow swimmers to take a dip at dusk. DryTown is open May 30 through August 16 daily and weekends only August 22 through September 27. The park also hosted over 200 birthday parties during regular operating hours and several evening buyouts in 2008. Even further growth and increased attendance is expected in 2009.
Parks and Recreation online registration continues to expand. Customers can explore all programs on the City’s Web Site and register for most activities. High demand activities such as swim lessons and bus excursions have been made available for online registration as an added convenience.
Special Events
Last year, 190,000 people enjoyed the annual Fourth of July Celebration, Thursday Night on the Square, Starlight Concert Series, Palmdale Jazz and Wine Festival, Palmdale Fall Festival, 5/10k Walk/Run and The Showdown Rodeo. We are expecting a steady attendance to continue at the City’s special events in 2009. This year, there will be eight weekly events at Thursday Night on the Square. In 2008 an estimated 3,500 people per week enjoyed this event which features craft booths, food vendors, entertainment, a farmers market and children’s activities. Performers at this year’s Starlight Concert Series at the Palmdale Amphitheater are Bucky Covington, Air Supply, The Gregg Rollie Band, The Four Tops and Julianne Hough with opener Gloriana. In September, the City will host its third annual Palmdale Jazz and Wine Festival. Due to budget constraints, the City has suspended the annual Palmdale Fall Festival.
Warnack Nature Park
In Fiscal Year 2009-10, the City will work with the California Department of Water Resources to develop access to the 132-acre Warnack Nature Park south of the California Aqueduct, approximately 1,800 feet east of Godde Hill Road. The City also plans to work with scout organizations to develop signage, campsites and other amenities.
xx Tejon Park Equestrian Center
Last year, the City completed construction of the Barrel Springs Equestrian Arena at Tejon Park. The facility is available to the public from dawn to dusk free of charge. A committee of local equestrians schedules the events at the arena. The arena is used for horse shows and trials, show jumping, barrel racing, western riding, dressage, gymkhanas, equestrian play days and junior rodeos.
PALMDALE PLAYHOUSE
The Palmdale Playhouse first opened in September 1994. Since its opening, it has continued to build a tradition of classes, education and performance opportunities for the community. Last season showed increases in attendance at Playhouse events, program revenue, membership in programs and an 18% increase in ticket revenue over the previous year.
The Palmdale Playhouse Visual and Performing Arts Program provides residents the opportunity to gain experience in the areas of drama, music, dance, art, and literature, and display their talents on a professional stage. Arts workshops, gallery exhibits, writing competitions and an exciting volunteer program are available for members of the community.
During the summer of 2009, the Playhouse will hold Summer Theatre Camp for youth aged 13 to 19 years old and Junior Theatre Camp for youth aged 9 to 12 years old. Both camps offer an opportunity for students to learn every phase of theatre production from casting and acting to set design and construction, lighting and sound. New in the summer of 2009 will be Symphonic Orchestra Camp. This all-ages camp will provide attendees a two-week session of intensive instruction culminating in a performance of light orchestral music.
Due to a significant reduction in the Fiscal Year 2009-10 budget, the upcoming Playhouse season will be limited to programs and events provided by those involved in the Palmdale Playhouse Visual and Performing Arts Programs. Those programs include the Palmdale Youth and Community Dance Company, the Palmdale Children’s and Community Choir, The Youth and Community Orchestra, the Palmdale Visual Arts Group, the Palmdale Writer’s Roundtable and the Palmdale City Players. Program members will have an opportunity to showcase their work in plays, musical concerts and recitals, art gallery exhibits and dance performances.
In November of 2009, the Playhouse will conclude fundraising for the Mobile Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall for the Antelope Valley. The Palmdale Playhouse staff initiated the project following the 1999 and 2005 performances of the play “A Piece of My Heart” and it is now a valley-wide project. The memorial will be over 250 feet wide, six feet high in the center and contain the engraved names of over 58,000 U.S. servicemen and women who died in Vietnam. The memorial is intended to be mobile and will travel to
xxi various locations in years to come. Once it is unveiled, ownership and management will be transferred to an Antelope Valley veterans group.
JOE DAVIES HERITAGE AIRPARK AT PALMDALE PLANT 42
The Joe Davies Heritage Airpark at Palmdale Plant 42 celebrated its grand opening in August 2004 and was renamed in 2006 to honor Joe Davies, retired commander of Air Force Plant 42 and former City councilmember. The Airpark has become a major tourist destination attracting more than 10,000 visitors a year. The static display park features 16 aircraft. There is an A4, A7, B52, C140, F4, F5, F14, F86, F100, F101, F104, F105, T33, T38, and Burt Rutan’s composite “Triumph”.
The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress was recently re-assembled and is currently being restored, along with a Curtiss-Wright Corporation C-46 Commando. The C-46 is being restored inside and out. With a cockpit that is ‘kid friendly’ and inviting allowing the next generation to dream. The bay is being fitted with jump seats on one side and photos and posters of the era will be displayed on the opposite side. Both planes should be completed and ready for the public by fall of 2009.
A Lockheed L-1011 TriStar is being readied for transportation to the park and should be here by early summer of 2009. We will be turning the first-class section into a conference/education room and there will be two large cherry-wood with glass door cabinets, that will house a collection of aircraft models, some being quite rare.
PALMDALE CITY LIBRARY
The Palmdale City Library provides up-to-date information as well as cultural and recreational material for residents of all ages. Librarians guide the public in finding information using online databases, the Internet or traditional print resources.
Library use increased sharply in Fiscal Year 2008-09 due in large part to the downturn in the economy. National statistics indicate that library use increases during tough economic times and Palmdale is no exception. Circulation overall increased 23% and, in some areas of the collection, circulation increased as much as 58%.
Due to the continued decline in City revenues, the Library’s Fiscal Year 2009-10 budget has been reduced and Library operations will be scaled back. The bookmobile program was shut down June 1, 2009. The Library will also permanently close the Youth Library in the summer of 2009 and move the collection to the Main Library. Services to children, teens and adults will continue to be provided in the Main Library building.
The Palmdale Library Literacy Program has continued to expand. It now serves over 113 learners with 65 volunteer tutors. This past year, the Literacy Program also obtained the services of two full-time AmeriCorp volunteers to assist in the office as well as with tutoring. Originally funded by a five-year grant from the California State Library,
xxii this program is now supported by the City. It provides English-speaking adults assistance in learning basic reading and writing skills.
The City continues to plan for additional library facilities. A 16,400-square-foot branch library has been designed for the Palmdale Oasis Park. This will be a full-service branch library designed to serve all ages. The Ritter Ranch development agreement requires the developer to build and furnish a 16,000-square-foot single-story branch library in Ritter Ranch once 5,000 residential units have been built. The developer will also be required to contribute $250,000, adjusted by any increase or decrease in the Consumer Price Index from the time of the agreement, towards the purchase of library materials.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
For many years, City departments have worked diligently in a cooperative manner to provide the community with various services and amenities. The proposed budget once again reflects an extraordinary cooperative effort between City departments to bring even more services and amenities to the residents and businesses despite the state budget crisis and national economic decline.

*This chart represents a portion of the capital projects over a two-year period. Other capital projects are detailed in other charts throughout this document.
The State’s budget crisis has severely cut revenues normally used to fund many City projects and programs. For instance, programs such as Proposition 42 (AB2928) resurfacing programs were suspended for several years, and only now are some of those suspended funds making their way into the City’s budget. In addition, the Metropolitan Transportation Agency (MTA) grant programs for the past year have been terminated and Caltrans has delayed funding of some construction projects because of State Fiscal matters. In addition, the higher cost of gasoline has reduced consumption,
xxiii thereby reducing the amount of gas taxes allocated to the City for annual roadway maintenance and repair.
The cost of construction in general has dramatically increased. In early 2004, steel suppliers started notifying customers that they should expect a significant increase in steel prices and shortages in the availability of certain steel products. The increases in steel prices and shortages were the precursor of a construction industry cost escalation cycle that is often experienced during periods of rapid economic growth. This phenomenon has already affected City projects involving various major trades.
The total budget for this Fiscal Year of $51.8 million for capital projects combined with last year’s estimated total of $30.8 million brings the two-year total to $82.6 million in significant investments in the City of Palmdale these past two years.
Water Resource Projects
The City funds improvements to several drainage ways including Amargosa, Anaverde, Portal Ridge and Pearland. The City has been able to maximize the amenities provided to the residents by implementing a joint use policy for facilities. Many of the drainage basins that are used for flood protection are also used for recreational purposes, a way to make the most use of every tax dollar available. The City also funds projects that handle other water resources such as sanitary sewer systems, reclaimed water systems and natural groundwater recharge facilities.
TRANSPORTATION
Palmdale Transportation Center
The $14.85 million Palmdale Transportation Center opened in 2005 as the preeminent transportation hub of the Antelope Valley, enhancing the economic vitality of Palmdale and the surrounding region. The center serves as a Metrolink train station, a regional and local bus transfer depot for the Antelope Valley Transit Authority and Santa Clarita Transit and a centrally located stop for Amtrak Throughway bus service and Greyhound bus lines. Plans call for a high-speed rail stop at the center as well. Concessions are located inside the building, and the center has 24-hour security. In Fiscal Year 2007-08, 146 commuter parking spaces were added. Scheduled enhancements in Fiscal Year 2009-10 include computerized information kiosks and improved bicycle and pedestrian access.
Tierra Subida Avenue Improvement Project
The Tierra Subida Avenue Improvement Project will serve the hospital being constructed in the vicinity. The project will widen the street from Avenue Q-8 to Rayburn Road. Because much of the work is adjacent to property owned by the Los Angeles County Waterworks District, the City and County will enter into a cooperative agreement for funding to complete the design of this project. Work will commence in Fiscal Year 2009-10.
xxiv Rancho Vista Boulevard Improvements
The safety and capacity improvements to Rancho Vista Boulevard between Division Street and 15th Street East will commence with Phase 1 in Fiscal Year 2009-10. Phase 1 includes signalization and improvements to the 10th Street East intersection of Rancho Vista Boulevard. Phase 2, scheduled to start construction in Fiscal Year 2010-11, will make improvements to the 3rd Street East and 8th Street East intersections of Rancho Vista Boulevard. Phase 3, scheduled to start construction in Fiscal Year 2013-14, will be a grade separation to take Rancho Vista Boulevard under Sierra Highway and the railroad tracks.
Street Resurfacing/Sealing Program
The street resurfacing/sealing program for Fiscal Year 2008-09 provided for renewal of approximately 24 lane-miles of collector and minor arterial streets. The street resurfacing/sealing program funds for Fiscal Year 2009-10 will provide for renewal of approximately 15.8 lane-miles of arterial streets.
Traffic Signal Projects
The City places a high priority on traffic safety. The City will spend approximately $2.4 million this year to complete the design and installation of four new traffic signals. This will bring the total number of city-owned signals to 92 and the total number of city- maintained signals to 137.
20th Street West Bridge at Amargosa Creek
Because 20th Street West is a major north/south arterial serving the west side of Palmdale, the crossing at Amargosa Creek is critical to provide anther link between commercial development in the Trade and Commerce Center and the residential areas of Anaverde and Ritter Ranch. A Preliminary Engineering Project Report has been completed and final designs, right-of-way and permits are being pursued.
ADA Ramps and Bus Stop Retrofit: 430k 09-10
SR2S: 1.4 million 09-10 Safe Route to School Grant
The City applied for and received a State Route to School (SR2S) grant to install two signals and street improvements at Golden Poppy Elementary School located on Rockie Lane south of Avenue R, east of 60th Street East.
TECHNOLOGY
The City outsources information technology functions and support through a contract with Affiliated Computer Services (ACS). ACS is a premier provider of information technology to government clients worldwide and has enabled the City to provide
xxv residents and staff with technology to support a growing reliance on digital operations, communication and storage.
On-line Services
An on-line support “chat” line has been added to the City’s home page. It is monitored by Information Services, Communications or Administration staff who respond on-line in real time. The staff providing on-line support assist users in navigating the City’s web site. They also provide answer to questions about the City’s programs and services.
The City’s Library Web Site, www.cityofpalmdale.org/library, was completely redesigned last year and added to the City site. New features include a more prominent link to the on-line homework help line, clearer instructions for renewals and library card applications, a featured book of the month and a question of the week.
A Youth page has been added to the City of Palmdale’s Web Site that is full of color and life for younger residents and posted on on-line job academy sign-up form.
In Fiscal Year 2009-10, parking citations will be added to the Web Site so the public can pay parking tickets on-line. An e-bid for contractors will also be available in the spring of 2010 for all City construction projects.
Disaster Recovery Site
A new Storage Area Network (SAN) was purchased in Fiscal Year 2008-09 and the ACS staff has been working diligently with Dell to configure the old SAN system to serve as a disaster recovery system. This system is stored in another area of the City, as this will help protect the system from fire and floods. This SAN will be the back up for all data stored on the main SAN in the City’s server room and allow for data recovery in case of a disaster.
Financial System Upgrade
ACS staff has continued to work with the Finance staff this past year to upgrade the MUNIS software and continues to train departments in the use of the multiple application financial system. In addition, the City has purchased the MUNIS Contract Module, which will track expenditures and contract balances. ACS staff is testing the module to ensure it meets all the City Attorney’s requirements for tracking City contracts. It should be ready for implementation by January 1, 2010.
In Fiscal Year 2009-10, ACS will be adding the vendor on-line module. Businesses will be able to automatically add information for 1099s and address changes for Accounts Payable and Purchasing information.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
The City’s GIS Program, originally implemented in 2003, continues to expand throughout the organization and be used as a research and data collection tool. The availability of a various types of interactive maps and data helps make the decision-
xxvi making process easier and faster. GIS is funded by a variety of sources including landscape, sewer, and lighting assessment districts, Housing and Community Redevelopment Agency funds, and General Funds (fees collected for development applications and permits). During FY 2008-09, MapGuide 6.5, was launched for public use through the City's Web Site (www.cityofpalmdale.org). The GIS Web Site was recognized by the Southern California Chapter of the American Public Works Association (APWA), and received the Chapter's Project of the Year Award. In Fiscal Year 2007-08, the City's Intranet-based GIS was awarded "Best Use of Technology" by the California Geographic Information Association (CGIS).
The GIS Section maintains approximately 140 individual GIS data layers. Integration with other City technologies to include Permits PLUS, ProjectDox, RMConsole, Citrix, Cititech and other software programs continues to be a priority. During FY 2009-2010, the GIS Section will upgrade the system from MapGuide 6.5 to MapGuide Enterprise. Enterprise provides for easier overall set up and access for the end-user. It will also have a different look and feel and is expected to provide a better overall GIS experience for the end-users. CONCLUSION
While the City of Palmdale has continued to be affected by declining revenues and the weak economy, due to a series of cost cuffing measures included in the Fiscal Year 2009-10 budget, the City's economic outlook remains positive. The staff and I remain committed to providing excellent services to Palmdale's 151,346 residents, and we are confident that this year's budget provides the necessary funding to continue to meet our goals this year.
City residents and visitors from around the region will continue to enjoy the many newer amenities such as DryTown Water Park & Mining Company, Palmdale Oasis Park, the expanded Marie Kerr Park, the Palmdale Amphitheater, the Best of the West Softball Complex and the swimming pools. City staff and I look forward to new and exciting developments that are in the works such as the Courson Connection Project's new Senior Center and the Palmdale Conference Center. Staff is committed to continuing to develop the Partners for a Better Palmdale program this year and collaborating with numerous stakeholders to make a positive difference in our community. We know that engaging our citizens and expanding our volunteer corps will help us to achieve success. We look forward to working together with our energies focused on making Palmdale the safest, healthiest and most vibrant city possible.
Sincerely,
H. Williams Manager

Appropriations Limit Discussion
For the Fiscal Year 2009-10
Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution, more commonly referred to as the Gann Initiative or Gann Appropriations Limit, was adopted by California voters in 1980. The Gann Appropriations Limit places restrictions on the amount of tax proceeds that state and local governmental agencies can receive and appropriate each fiscal year.
The Limit changes each fiscal year and is different for each governmental agency. The Limit is calculated based on the actual amount of tax proceeds appropriated during the 1978-79 fiscal year, and is increased each year for inflation and population growth. Inflationary adjustments are, by law, based on the growth in the California Per Capita Income or the growth in non-residential assessed valuation due to new construction within the City. Population adjustments are based on the population growth of the City or the population growth within the City's county. The decision as to which of the options to select is made annually by a recorded vote of the City Council.
For fiscal year 2009-10, the City of Palmdale estimates that tax proceeds to be received, as well as tax proceeds appropriated by the City Council, will, as in prior years, continue to be under the legal limit. The City's appropriations limit for fiscal year 2009-10 is established at $98,638,322 a 4.15 percent increase over the fiscal year 2008-09 limit. This is the maximum amount of tax proceeds the City will be able to receive and appropriate in the coming fiscal year. The City's appropriations subject to the limit for fiscal year 2009-10 are estimated to be $37,743,470. Therefore the City's fiscal year 2009-10 adopted budget appropriations subject to the limit are $60,894,852 less than the appropriations limit.
The statutes regarding the adoption of the Appropriations Limit, contained in Government Code Section 7910, require the governing body to annually adopt, by resolution, an appropriations limit prior to the beginning of the fiscal year in question. The City's fiscal year 2009-10 appropriations limit was presented for adoption at the July 1, 2009, City Council Meeting.

As demonstrated by the high level of median household income, Palmdale has a highly skilled work force that could provide employers with a large pool of human resources.
In addition to the City Council, there are several other bodies that act to govern Palmdale and provide the highest possible municipal service to its residents. Those other governmental entities are described as follows:
Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA)
The Community Redevelopment Agency's primary purpose is to eliminate blighted areas within the City by encouraging development of residential, commercial, industrial, recreational and public facilities. The Community Redevelopment Agency is comprised of two divisions: Economic Development and Housing. Staff time and resources are committed to maximizing the potential of the City's Redevelopment Agency by implementing an aggressive economic development program to diversify and strengthen the City's economic base. The Housing Division also offers an increasing variety of programs designed to help residents of Palmdale improve their homes and neighborhoods, such as the Single Family Rehabilitation Loan program, Mobile Home Rehabilitation Loan program and the Citywide Mortgage Assistance program.
Palmdale Civic Authority (PCA)
The Palmdale Civic Authority was created under a joint powers agreement between the City of Palmdale and the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Palmdale for the purpose of financing public improvements in the City. The Palmdale Civic Authority issues the debt and then loans the proceeds to the City or the Community Redevelopment Agency to finance projects that benefit the project areas or the City.
Industrial Development Authority (IDA)
In February 1995, the Industrial Development Authority was created by City Council Ordinance for the purpose of financing industrial development in the City. In FY 2007-08, the Industrial Development Authority anticipates working with manufacturers and industrial companies to develop new industrial sites in Palmdale.
Housing Authority of the City of Palmdale (HA)
In May 1996, the Housing Authority of the City of Palmdale was created for the purpose of working with the mobile home parks located in the City. In FY 1997-98 the Housing Authority, with the Community Redevelopment Agency, assisted LINC Housing, Inc., a non-profit agency, in acquiring three mobile home parks. LINC Housing is now responsible for paying the bonds and utilizing the rents collected from those parks.
Meeting the Future
With a large percentage of highly skilled workers, land available for industrial, commercial, and residential development, and an aggressive economic development program to diversify and strengthen the City's economic base, the future is filled with change and opportunity. The City's government is working toward building a bright future for the citizens of Palmdale.

BUDGET POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
By Palmdale Municipal Code Section 3.04.020, the City Manager shall submit a proposed budget to the City Council each year
Page 13 BUDGET GUIDE
BUDGET BASIS
The budgets of general government type funds (for example, the general fund itself, and street and transit funds) are prepared on a modified accrual basis. Briefly, this means that obligations of the City are budgeted as expenditures, but revenues are recognized only when actually received.
The Enterprise Funds (proprietary funds) also recognize expenditures as encumbrances when a commitment is made (e.g., through a purchase order). Revenues, on the other hand, are recognized when they are obligated to the City (for example, water user fees are recognized as revenue when service is provided). The City of Palmdale does not currently have any Enterprise Funds.
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) shows the status of the City's finances on the basis of "Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" (GAAP) which conforms to the way the City prepares the budget.
RESPONSIBILITY
The department heads are responsible for preparing their budgets in accordance with the guidelines provided by the Finance Department or other special budget instructions that may be provided by the City Manager.
The Finance Department will provide cost experience data as may be required by any City departments. The Director of Finance will prepare all revenue, debt service and reserve estimates. The Finance Department will check and confirm the completeness of all departmental budgets. If a budget is found to be in error or is incomplete, the budget will be returned to the originating department head for correction and will be returned corrected by that department in one workday. The Finance Department will not change any departmental request without written consent of the affected department.
BUDGET PREPARATION
The process of developing the operating budget begins officially in January of each year. The budget preparation process provides department heads an opportunity to examine program(s), to propose changes in current services, to recommend revisions in organizations and methods and to outline requirements for capital outlay items.
OPERATING BUDGET
A. Ongoing operating costs should be supported by ongoing stable revenue sources. This protects the City from fluctuating service levels and avoids crises when one-time revenues are reduced or removed. Listed below are some corollaries to this policy:
1. Cash balances should be used only for one-time expenditures, such as capital equipment and improvements or contingency accounts.
2. Ongoing maintenance costs, such as street resurfacing or swimming pool replastering, should be financed through recurring operating revenues rather than through bond issuances.
3. Fluctuating federal grants should not be used to fund ongoing programs.
B. Revenue Policies:
1. A diversified and stable revenue system will be maintained to ensure fiscal health and absorb short run fluctuations in any one revenue source.
Page 14 BUDGET GUIDE
2. User fees for all operations will be examined annually to ensure that fees cover direct and indirect costs of service.
3. Development fees for one-time capital expenditures attributable to new development will be reviewed annually to ensure that fees match development related expenditures.
C. General Fund unappropriated reserves should be equal to at least ten percent of appropriations. However, the City Council will have the authority to lower the unappropriated reserves below ten percent. Staff will submit a budget and strive for an unappropriated fund balance of 10 percent of General Fund appropriations, subject to City Council approval.
D. The Director of Finance, with the approval of the City Manager, shall approve the encumbrances and continuing appropriations from one fiscal year to the next fiscal year. These encumbrances and continuing appropriations shall become part of the City and CRA budgets.
E. Debt Management:
Short term borrowing or lease/purchase contracts should be considered for financing major operating capital equipment when the Director of Finance along with the City's financial advisor determines that this is in the City's best financial interest. Lease/purchase decisions should have the concurrence of the appropriate department head.
CAPITAL BUDGET
A. The long-range capital improvement plan shall be prepared and updated each year. Although this plan may include "unfunded" projects that carry out the City's strategic and general plans, it must also include a capital-spending plan that identifies projects that can be completed with known funding sources.
B. Each department must, when planning capital projects, estimate the project’s impact on the City's operating budget.
C. Amendments to capital appropriations fall under the same guidelines as changes to the operating budget, with one exception: any project change exceeding 20 percent of the original contract price or $100,000 must receive specific City Council or Agency approval. This approval can be by motion rather than resolution and may accompany a recommendation for award of bid, change order, or other Council action. While this approval is not a strict legal requirement, it serves to keep the Council informed on capital project activity and funding, and ensures that revisions of project priorities are in line with Council expectations.
BUDGET REVIEW
During the budget review phase, the Finance Department analyzes new positions, operating requests and capital budget requests. This information is then compiled and presented to the City Manager. The Budget Team, comprised of the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Deputy City Manager, Director of Finance, Assistant Director of Finance, and the Budget Manager conduct meetings with each department to review their estimated expenditures for the current fiscal year and the proposed base line requests and enhancements for the proposed budget year. At the completion of these meetings, the Finance Department again compiles all the financial data and presents the proposed budget to the City Manager for final review.
BUDGET ADOPTION
The City Manager presents the proposed budget to the City Council, Community Redevelopment Agency, Palmdale Civic Authority, Housing Authority and Industrial Development Authority for review. A public hearing is held and after all changes, modifications and revisions are made the budget is adopted by resolution.
Page 15 BUDGET GUIDE
BUDGET IMPLEMENTATION
A budgetary control system will be maintained to ensure compliance with the budget.
The Finance Department is responsible for setting up the budget for tracking purposes and is charged with making sure the funds are available during the year to cover expenditures and appropriations.
BUDGET REVISION
A. Any changes in total fund appropriations, except relating to sub-section “D”, must be approved by the City Council.
B. Uses of unappropriated reserves must be specifically approved by the City Council. This may be by Council motion rather than Resolution.
C. Shifts in appropriations within funds that total up to $25,000, except relating to sub-section “D”, may be done administratively on the authority of the City Manager. Procedures for appropriation transfers and delegation of budget responsibility will be set by the City Manager.
D. As per Section 7 of the Human Resources Rules and Regulations, the appointing authority may transfer, demote, suspend, or reinstate employees. Per this authority, shifts in appropriations relating to personnel changes may be done administratively by the City Manager.
Page 16 BUDGET GUIDE

Page 27 BUDGET SUMMARY
The narrative that follows describes the different revenues and the changes reflected in the FY 2009-10 budget.
I. GENERAL FUND
The General Fund revenues for FY 2009-10 are projected to decrease $2,946,550 or 7.10 percent, when compared to the FY 2008-09 estimated. The City cautiously forecasts FY 2009-10 revenues and project to see a general decrease in key revenues including a decrease of $2,791,280 in property taxes, $222,000 in sales tax, $178,410 in interest revenue, $129,900 in franchise fees, $505,360 in engineering fees, $344,180 in Park and Recreation fees, and $259,420 in one time reimbursements received in FY 2008-09. The decreases were offset by increases of $784,000 in administrative fees received from special funds and increase of $700,000 in Transient Occupancy Tax.
A. PROPERTY TAX - With the passage of AB1197, the City of Palmdale became a low property tax City. The first payment of taxes occurred in FY 1989-90. This program was to be phased in over a seven-year period with an increase each year to a maximum of .07 percent of the assessed value. During FY 2009-10 the City received .07 percent of assessed valuation. Los Angeles County is proactively reevaluating property values and a decline in property values are expected to be approximately 9.7% in FY 2009-10. The projected Property Tax (AB1197) for FY 2009-10 is $4,752,250 a decrease of $502,750.
As a result of the Budget Act of 2004-05, the State took portions of the motor Vehicle License fee and swapped it with Property Taxes. The Property Tax in Lieu of VLF is based on growth in gross assessed values and is expected to decline in FY 2009-10. The projected Property Tax in Lieu of VLF for FY 2009-10 is $11,504,250 a decrease of $1,800,220.
As a result of Assembly Bill 1389 approval on January 29, 2009, the Redevelopment Agency was required to pay in FY 2008-09 for prior year statutory pass through payments to the City of Palmdale. The projected Property Tax Increment merged Project Area for FY 2009-10 is $179,690 a decrease of $488,310.
B. LICENSES AND PERMITS
ANIMAL LICENSES - Animal licenses are collected by Los Angeles County. The actual revenue figures are not known until June of each year. FY 2009-10 is expected to the same when compared to the FY 2008-09 estimated.
PERMITS - Building permits generate a substantial portion of the revenue in this category. The City estimates the same number of permits will be issued in FY 2009-10 as in FY 2008-09. The estimated FY 2009-10 revenues are projected to be $1,200,000.
C. SALES AND OTHER TAXES
SALES TAX - The City has projected a 5 percent decrease in its sales tax base for FY 2009-10 when compared to the FY 2008-09 estimated base. This would result in a decrease of approximately $222,000. Sales taxes generated, as a result of the Regional Shopping Mall, Auto Center, and the Palmdale Promenade, will be reported in the Community Redevelopment Agency Budget. The sales tax revenue projected for FY 2009-10 for the Redevelopment Agency Project Area #1 and Project Area #2A is $9,116,000. When the Redevelopment Agency sales tax revenues are included with the General Fund sales tax revenues of $4,218,000, the combined Citywide FY 2009-10 sales tax revenues are projected to be $13,334,000.

Figure 9: Sales Tax Revenue
PROPERTY TRANSFER TAX - This tax is imposed on each deed or instrument by which real property is transferred within the City.

Page 40 BUDGET SUMMARY
Not only do capital improvement projects have a significant initial impact to the City’s Capital Improvement Budget, but most capital projects have long-term impacts to the City’s annual operations and maintenance budget as well.
For instance, when a park is constructed, the City must expend significant funds on an annual basis to provide adequate maintenance of the park. Maintenance expenditures include the cost of utilities (electricity, water, sewer, telephone, gas etc.) that provide services to the property as well as labor (maintenance crews), materials (fertilizer, irrigation parts, etc.) and equipment (lawn mowers, vehicles, small tools, etc.) required to adequately maintain the property to a level of service acceptable to the City. The level of maintenance at each individual facility dictates these annual expenditures; however, average unit costs based upon past expenditures for various City facilities are as follows:
Category of Improvement Average Annual Unit Cost for Maintenance Operations
Streets $9,000 per mile of collector or arterial street Buildings $8.48 per square foot of building area Traffic Signals $9,958 per traffic signal Traffic Signing & Marking $1,200 per mile of collector or arterial street Drainage Basins $890 per drainage basin Drainage Systems $0.14 per linear-foot of drainage system Parks $6,200 per acre of Park Landscape Parkways $0.66 per square-foot of landscaped parkway
Maintenance Category Budget
City Facility Maintenance $2,452,460 Park Maintenance $3,592,830 Street and Drainage Maintenance $5,735,920 Transit Service Maintenance $2,740,350 Park N’ Ride Maintenance $ 207,630 Landscape Maintenance $4,741,360 Street Light Maintenance $ 626,310
Additionally, the City spends funds for operational expenditures for labor, materials, equipment, and security to provide programs at parks and City buildings. The level of programming at each individual facility dictates these annual expenditures; however, average unit costs based upon past expenditures are as follows:
Category of Improvement Unit Cost for Programming Operations
Buildings $59 per square foot of building Parks $30,446 per developed acre of Park

IV. CONCLUSION
Palmdale has experienced substantial growth since 1980, growing from a population of 12,227 to an estimated population of 151,346 today. The City's greatest challenge revolves around maintaining high service levels, providing cultural and recreational facilities, attracting commercial and industrial business to balance Palmdale's economic base, and providing jobs for the thousands of residents commuting to the San Fernando Valley and the Los Angeles Basin.

Page 90 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
DEPARTMENT SUMMARY
Capital Program
The Capital Improvement Project budget accounts for all capital projects over $5,000, excluding special district improvements and CRA capital projects. The Program Management division is responsible for the development, implementation, and management of the City's ongoing Ten- Year Capital Improvement Program, which includes improvement projects throughout the City, such as: landscaping, beautification and signage; street widening, rehabilitation, resurfacing and sealing; sidewalks, bikeways, and trails; Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements; traffic signals and safety improvements; transportation facilities and transit amenities; water resource and drainage systems; parks, recreation, and athletic facilities; public offices and buildings; overhead utility undergrounding; and environmental mitigation.
About the Capital Program
The capital improvement projects for FY 2009-10 are part of the 2009 Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plan. The Public Works Department prepares the ten-year plan using input from all City Departments. Projects and corresponding funding sources were identified and then capital improvement expenditures were scheduled by fund and prioritized.
The costs associated with the number of capital projects identified for FY 2009-10 exceed the amount of available funds. It is anticipated that the number of capital projects identified will continue to be numerous for the next several years as the City continues to grow and mature. Therefore, recommended expenditures are for the completion of projects started in prior fiscal years and the implementation of projects of highest priority in FY 2009-10.
Not only do capital improvement projects have a significant initial impact to the City’s Capital Improvement Budget, but most capital projects have long-term impacts to the City’s annual operations and maintenance budget as well. For instance, when a park is constructed, the City must expend significant funds on an annual basis to provide adequate maintenance of the park. Maintenance expenditures include the cost of utilities that provide services to the property as well as labor (maintenance crews), materials, and equipment (lawn mowers, vehicles, small tools, etc.) required to adequately maintain the property to a level of service acceptable to the City. The level of maintenance at each individual facility dictates these annual expenditures; however, average unit costs based upon past expenditures for various City facilities are as follows:
Category of Improvement Average Annual Unit Cost for Maintenance Operations
Streets $9,000 per mile of collector or arterial street Buildings $8.48 per square foot of building area Traffic Signals $9,958 per traffic signal Traffic Signing & Marking $1,200 per mile of collector or arterial street Drainage Basins $890 per drainage basin Drainage Systems $0.14 per linear-foot of drainage system Parks $6,200 per acre of Park Landscape Parkways $0.66 per square-foot of landscaped parkway

DEPARTMENT SUMMARY
Debt Service
Debt Service is a series of payments of interest and principal required to be paid on a debt over a given period of time.
About Debt Service
The City’s debt management policy provides for the City’s current and future ability to finance major operating capital equipment and capital improvement projects at beneficial interest rates without adversely affecting the City’s ability to finance essential City services.
Decisions regarding the use of debt are based upon, but not limited to, factors such as economic, demographic, and financial resources available to repay the debt, the City’s long-term operating and capital needs, review and analysis of financial strength ratios and indicators, and the impact of future debt financing on these ratios and indicators.
The types of debt covered in this section are Certificates of Participation bonds and Assessment District/Community Facilities District bonds. Additional debt such as Tax Allocation bonds, Revenue bonds, Capital Leases, and Public Improvement Reimbursement Agreements are covered in other pertinent sections of the budget.
Certificates of Participation bonds are issued by the Palmdale Civic Authority. The Palmdale Civic Authority issues the debt and then loans the proceeds to the City to finance public improvements of the City. Certificates of Participation allow the public to purchase participation in a stream of lease payments relating to the acquisition or construction of specific equipment, land, or facilities. Lease payments are made pursuant to a Lease Agreement and are sufficient to pay principal and interest on the Certificates as due.
Assessment District/Community Facilities District Bonds are issued within certain areas of the City to finance public improvements within a district area. The principal and interest are paid from the collection of special assessments or taxes on property within each district. The district bonds do not constitute indebtedness of the City payable from its general funds, and the City is in no way obligated for their repayment except to the extent of any assessments or special taxes collected and pledged for their repayment.
Tax Allocation Bonds are issued by redevelopment agencies to eliminate blighted areas within the City by encouraging development of residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, and public facilities. Redevelopment projects are financed through an allocation of certain ad valorem property taxes collected within a redevelopment area. The effective date of the ordinance approving the redevelopment plan fixes assessed valuation of all real and personal property in the project area. The portion of the property tax collected that is attributable to the increase in assessed valuation since the adoption of the project area plan, called “tax increment”, is allocated to the redevelopment agency. These tax increment revenues may be pledged to the Page 403 DEBT SERVICE
About Debt Service, continued
repayment of indebtedness incurred in financing or refinancing a redevelopment project. Redevelopment agencies themselves do not have any independent power to levy and collect property taxes and must rely on the above allocation of taxes as their primary funding source. Debt Service information on Tax Allocation bonds can be found in the Community Redevelopment Agency sections of the budget.
Revenue Bonds are issued by the Palmdale Civic Authority for the purpose of assisting the Agency in financing projects through, among other means, the acquisition by the Authority of capital improvements and/or the purchase by the Authority of local obligations. The bonds are payable from and secured by a pledge of Agency tax increment and/or sales tax revenues. The loan payments made to the Authority by the Community Redevelopment Agency from the pledged revenue sources are in turn used to pay principal and interest with respect to the revenue bonds as they become due. Debt Service information on Revenue bonds can be found in the Community Redevelopment Agency sections of the budget.
The City has entered into various capital lease/purchase agreements for equipment with payment lengths ranging from 3 to 6 years. The City has capital leases for Xerox copiers, Munis accounting database system, and other various equipment. Debt Service information on Capital Leases can be found in different sections of the budget according to the City departments who use leased equipment.
The City has entered into various Public Improvement Reimbursement Agreements to reimburse developers for the installation of public improvements during the development of certain retail shopping centers within the City. The reimbursements made to developers are based on 50% of the sales tax generated on the various retail sites. Debt Service information on Public Improvement Reimbursement Agreements can be found in the General City and Community Redevelopment Agency sections of the budget.

POLICY
I. CITY GOVERNMENT
General Background
The City of Palmdale encompasses approximately 103 square miles within the Antelope Valley and is located in the northeast portion of the County of Los Angeles. The City is 60 miles north of Los Angeles. It is situated in the high desert, at an elevation of 2,600 feet with a pleasant climate and an average mean temperature of 72 degrees Fahrenheit. The City has an estimated population of 151,346 as of January 1, 2009.
Organizational Structure
The City was incorporated on August 24, 1962, as a general law City and uses the Council/City Manager form of government. The five-member City Council consists of an elected mayor who serves a two-year term and four Council members who are elected at large to overlapping four-year terms. The mayor pro tem is selected from among the City Council members. The City Manager serves at the pleasure of the City Council to administer the City's affairs and to carry out policies established by the City Council.
The City Council also acts as the governing body for the Community Redevelopment Agency, Industrial Development Authority, Palmdale Civic Authority and the Housing Authority of the City of Palmdale that are non-profit organizations of the City. The City organizational chart, in the Community Profile section of the budget, provides an overview of the City's organization and the relationships between the City Council, boards, commissions and departments.
Reporting Entity and Services
The budget includes all of the funds and account groups of the City of Palmdale, the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Palmdale (CRA), the Palmdale Civic Authority (PCA) and the Housing Authority (HA). The City provides the following municipal services:
Municipal Services
Building and Safety Economic Development Engineering General Administrative Support Library Parks, Recreational and Cultural Planning Public Safety Public Works
The Director of Finance/City Treasurer is responsible for City financial administration, establishing and maintaining the general accounting system for the City, auditing for payment all demands or charges upon the City and acting as custodian and disbursing agent for all City funds.
Page 433 APPENDIX
POLICY (continued)
II. FINANCIAL STRUCTURE
Accounting Systems and Budgetary Control
In developing and evaluating the City's accounting systems, consideration is given to the adequacy of internal accounting controls. Internal accounting controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding: 1) the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition and 2) the reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets.
The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that: 1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and 2) the evaluation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.
All internal control evaluations occur within the above framework. Management believes that the City's internal accounting controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance of properly recording financial transactions.
Budgetary control is maintained at the category level.
Fund Descriptions
The City's accounting records are organized and operated on a "fund" basis, which is the basic fiscal and accounting entity in governmental accounting. Each fund is designated by fund type and classification.
The following is a description of the different funds:
Fund Type Classification
Governmental Funds General, Special Revenue, Debt Service and Capital Projects Fiduciary Fund Agency Account Groups General Fixed Assets and General Long-Term Debt
A. Governmental Funds
These funds are used to account for the City's expendable financial resources and related current liabilities, except for those accounted for in proprietary funds.
The basic financial statements necessary to fairly present financial position and operating results for governmental funds are the balance sheet and the statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance. Governmental funds are maintained using the modified accrual basis of accounting that is explained in the notes to the combined financial statements.
B. Fiduciary Funds
Agency funds are maintained to account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity for individuals, private organizations, other governments and other funds. The City has agency funds, which are custodial in nature and are used to receive and disburse funds that do not belong to the City. An agency fund functions as a clearing account and does not measure results of operations.
C. Account Groups
In addition to the various fund types, a fourth category of accounting entities, account groups, is used to establish accounting control and accountability for the City's general fixed assets and
Page 434 APPENDIX
POLICY (continued)
General long-term debt. The City's general fixed assets (which are all of the City's fixed assets except those accounted for in the proprietary fund) are not financial resources available for expenditure.
The unmatured principal of the City's general long-term debt (which are long-term liabilities not accounted for in proprietary funds) does not require financial resources during the current accounting period. Accordingly, these amounts are not accounted for in governmental funds, but in self-balancing account groups.
III. FINANCIAL POLICIES
General
The financial policies establish the framework for overall fiscal planning and management. The policies set forth guidelines for both current activities and long range planning. The policies will be reviewed annually to assure the highest standards of fiscal management.
Overall Goals
The overall financial goals underlying these financial policies are:
A. Fiscal Conservatism: To ensure that the City is at all times in a solid financial condition. This can be defined as:
1. Cash solvency - the ability to pay bills
2. Budgetary solvency - the ability to balance the budget
3. Long run solvency - the ability to pay future costs
4. Service level solvency - the ability to provide needed and desired services
B. Flexibility: To ensure that the City is in a position to respond to changes in the economy or new service challenges without an undue amount of financial stress.
C. Adherence to the Highest Accounting and Management Practices: As set by the Government Finance Officer’s Association standards for financial reporting and budgeting, by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board and other professional standards.
Cash Management
A. Purpose
An investment policy has been adopted by Resolution and is reviewed each year. The investment policy provides guidelines for the prudent investment of temporary idle cash and outlines the policies for maximizing the efficiency of the cash management system. The ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status of the City while protecting its pooled cash.
B. Objective
The cash management system is designed to accurately monitor and forecast expenditures and revenues, thus enabling the City to invest funds to the fullest extent possible. The City attempts to obtain the highest yield obtainable as long as investments meet the criteria established for safety and liquidity.
Page 435 APPENDIX
POLICY (continued)
C. Policy
In order to maximize interest earnings, the City commingles the cash of all funds including the Community Redevelopment Agency funds, except those funds held in trust for the City by various financial institutions in accordance with applicable trust agreements related to debt issues. Interest revenue derived from commingled cash is allocated monthly to the participating funds based on the relative cash balance of each fund.
D. Procedures
Criteria for selecting investments and the order of priority are:
1. Safety: The safety and risk associated with an investment refers to the potential loss of principal, interest, or a combination of these amounts. The City only operates in those investments that are considered very safe.
2. Liquidity: This refers to the ability to "cash in" at any moment in time with a minimal chance of losing some portion of principal or interest. Liquidity is an important investment quality especially when the need for unexpected funds occasionally occurs.
3. Yield: Yield is the potential dollar earnings an investment can provide and sometimes is described as the rate of return.
Debt Administration
A. Objective
The debt management policy provides for the City’s current and future ability to finance major operating capital equipment and capital improvement projects at beneficial interest rates without adversely affecting the City’s ability to finance essential City services.
B. Policy
Decisions regarding the use of debt are based upon, but not limited to, factors such as economic, demographic and financial resources available to repay the debt, the City’s long-term operating and capital needs, review and analysis of financial strength ratios and indicators, and the impact of future debt financing on these ratios and indicators.
Competitive versus negotiated bond sales are determined by City Council on an issue-by-issue basis taking into account statutory requirements, the type of debt instrument being issued, the complexity of the financing structure, and other factors that indicate one method to be more effective over the other. If a negotiated sale is anticipated, the Finance Department and Bond Counsel establish a list of pre-qualified underwriters.
C. Legal Debt Margin
The aggregate principal amount of the City’s general obligation debt for public improvements is statutorily limited to 15.0 percent of the City’s total reported assessed valuation. Based upon an assessed valuation of $12.2 billion for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009, the City is limited to general obligation indebtedness in the aggregate amount of $1.83 billion. The City has no general obligation debt outstanding as of June 30, 2009.

Capital Leases
The City has entered into various lease/purchase agreements for equipment with payment lengths ranging from 3 to 6 years.
Tax Allocation Bonds
Tax Allocation Bonds are issued by redevelopment agencies to eliminate blighted areas within the City by encouraging development of residential, commercial, industrial, recreational and public facilities. Redevelopment projects are financed through an allocation of certain ad valorem property taxes collected within a redevelopment area. The effective date of the ordinance approving the redevelopment plan fixes assessed valuation of all real and personal property in the project area. The portion of the property tax collected that is attributable to the increase in assessed valuation since the adoption of the project area plan, called “tax increment”, is allocated to the redevelopment agency. These tax increment revenues may be pledged to the repayment of indebtedness incurred in financing or refinancing a redevelopment project. Redevelopment agencies themselves do not have any independent power to levy and collect property taxes and Page 437 APPENDIX
POLICY (continued) must rely on the above allocation of taxes as their primary funding source.
The proceeds of the 1998 Bonds were used to advance refund in part the Agency’s obligations with respect to the 1994 Revenue Bonds. The Agency will use sales tax and incremental property tax generated in Project Area No. 2A to pay principal and interest with respect to the 1998 Bonds as they become due.
The proceeds of the 1999 Bonds were used to finance the construction of a golf course and other redevelopment activities in or of benefit to Project Area No. 2A.

The proceeds of the 2005 Series F Bonds were used to finance housing activities of the Agency. The principal and interest on the bonds are payable from and secured by 20% of the tax increment arising from Project Area No. 2A.
Certificates of Participation
Certificates of Participation allow the public to purchase (in $5,000 increments) participation in a stream of lease payments, installment payments or loan payments relating to the acquisition or construction of specific equipment, land or facilities. Certificates of Participation do not constitute indebtedness under the state constitutional debt limitation.
On March 17, 1999, the Palmdale Civic Authority issued Certificates of Participation to finance the construction, installation and equipping of a new Courthouse building and City Hall building. The 1999 Certificates represent direct, undivided fractional interests in a lease of the City Hall Site, Administration Building, Development Services, Central Maintenance Yard and Hammack Activity Center. Upon completion of construction of the City Hall and Courthouse, the City has the right, subject to certain conditions, to substitute the City Hall and Courthouse projects for the above
Page 438 APPENDIX
POLICY (continued) properties, as the property subject to the lease. Title to the land and facilities covered by the lease and the 1999 Certificates is vested in the Authority, for the benefit of the 1999 Certificate holders, during the lease term.

On April 12, 2007, the Palmdale Civic Authority issued Certificates of Participation to finance the acquisition of land for the possible location of a power plant. The Lease Payments to be made by the City to the Authority pursuant to the Lease Agreement will be in amounts calculated to be sufficient to pay principal and interest with respect to the Certificates when due. The Lease Payments are payable by the City from its General Fund for the right to the use and possession by the City of the Property.
Revenue Bonds
Revenue Bonds are issued by the Palmdale Civic Authority for the purpose of assisting the Agency in financing projects through, among other means, the acquisition by the Authority of capital improvements and/or the purchase by the Authority of local obligations. The bonds are payable from and secured by a pledge of Agency tax increment and/or sales tax revenues.
