(1) Summary of Si~nificant Accounting Policies
General
The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Xonica (Agency) was
established by the Santa Monica City Council in 1957 pursuant to the
Community Redevelopment Law of California as cod~fied in the State of
California Health and Safety Code. The purpose of the Agency is to
eliminate blight and to promote economic revitalization w~thln designated
project areas of the City of Santa Monica.
The Agency is funded by Federal and local sources. The only source of
Federal funding has been provided under programs sponsored by the V.S.
Department of Housing and Vrban Development (HUD). Through HUD, the
Agency has received funds for its Co~ventional Urban Renewal Program
(Title I) and the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG). All
Federal programs are still operational; however, add~tional fund~ng for
the Title I Program, other than that which is necessary to complete
existing redevelopment activit~es, has ceased. Local funds are prov~ded
principally from incremental property taxes and rentals for che park~ng
f acllit ies .
Basis of Accounting
The accompany~ng combi~ed financial statements of the Agency have been
prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting. The ~od~fied
accrual basis of accounting is defined as the basis of a~counting under
which revenues are recognized when they become both measurable and
available to finance operations of the currene period. Expenditures are
recognized when the related liability is incurred, except for principal
and interest on general long-term debt which is recognized when due.
Investments
Investments are stated at cost and generally consist of Federal
Government-backed securities.
Lon~-Ter~ Liab~lities
Long-ter~ l~abilities are accounted for in the General Long-Ter~ De,t
Account Group.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
Tax Increment Revenues
Incremental property taxes are considered as project revenues by the
Agency when they become both measurable and available for financing the
Agency's redevelopment activities during the year. Property taxes are
considered available if received Within 60 days following year-end, ~n
accordance with the Sational Council on Governmental Accounting's
Interpretation Number 3.
Increme~tal property tax revenues represent property taxes collected from
the excess of taxes levied and collected each year on any redevelopment
proJect over that amount which would have been levied and collected on the
base year property tax assessment. (A property tax base year 1s deter-
mined to be the year prior to the establishment of a redevelopment project
area. )
Total (Memorandum Only)
The column in the accomoanying combined financial st~tements capt~oned
"Total (Memorandum only)" is not necessary for a fair presentation in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles but is presented
as additional analytic data.

Project Notes and ~onds
On November 2, 1978, the Agency authorized the offering of $14,470,000 ~n
Downtown Redevelopment Project Parking Lease Revenue Bonds. Proceeds
from the bonds have been used by the Agency to finance the acquisition
and construction of two garages (the Parking Facility), which provide
parking facilities for a major shopping center in the City or Santa
Monica.
A summary of project bonds payable held in the Agency's general long-ter~
debt account group at June 30, 1983 follows (see note 3).

(3) Restricted Assets
As part af the covenants for the Agency's Downtown Redevelopment Project
Parking Lease Revenue Bonds, the fiscal agent is required to maintain
three separate cash funds, as follows.
Bond Service Account
Monies are transferred into this account each May 15 in amounts equal to
interest due on the next two ensuing interest payment dates. In addition,
on each November 15 an a~ount equal to the principal amount of bonds
maturing on the next ensuing December 1 is transferred into this account.
Working Capital Account
The sum provided in this account is to be used to pay any taxes and
assessments levied on the Agency's interest in the leased premises,
insurance premiums, annual fiscal costs of mai~renance and operation, if
the City defaults on the lease. The fund is to be maintained at $5,000.

Reserve Fund Account
A sum to be equal to at least the maximum annual debt service amount over
che life of che bonds is Co be maintained in this account. Monies in the
Reserve Fund may be used by the Agency, first, far the paTment of losses
sustained by reason of accident or destruction of the Parking Facil~ty
financed by issuance of the bonds and not covered by the required insur-
ance so long as the balance remaining in the Fund is equal to 50% of
maximum annual debt service; second, to help redeem the bonds outstanding
under circumstances where the Parking Facility is not to be repaired or
rebuilt; and third, for the payment of interest on and principal of the
bonds in the event no other funds are available therefor, or for the
final retirement of all bonds then outstanding.
On June 30, 1983, the aforementioned accounts reflected the following
balances:
Bond Service Fund
Working Capital Fund
Reserve Fund
S 476.770

11189,705
Total
$ 116711475
The balances of each of such assets are held ~n trust by an independent
fiscal agent.
(4) Capitalized Lease
On May 1, 1978, the City entered into a lease agreement with the Agency
to provide parking for the shopping center in the Downtown Project. The
lease requires the City to pay the Agency a base rental at an estimated
rate of approximately $1,190,000 per year, and, in addition, the lease
requires the City to make add~tional payments each year sufficient to
operate and maintain the Parking Facility. The lease extends for a per~od
of 3S years or repayment of the bonds issued to finance construction of
the Parking Facility, whichever occurs earlier (note 2).
Upon termination of the lease, ownership of the Parking Facility will
rest with the City. Such lease meets the criteria of a cap~talizable
financing lease. At June 30. 1983, the present value of the lease
payments receivable froID the City was S12,773,558.

(5) Deficit Fund Balances
At June 30, 1983, the Downtown and Ocean Park Redevelopment Projects had
deficit fund balances of $2,890,668 and $2,833,594, respectively. It is
anticipated that these fund deficits will ultimately be alleviated through
future tax increment revenue and ather project revenues.

The Board of Directors
The Redevelopment Agency of the
City of Santa Manica, California:
We have examined the financial statements of the various funds of the
Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Monica (Agency) for the year ended
June 30, 1983 and have issued our report thereon dated October 14, 1983. Our
examination was made in accordance w1th generally accepted audit1ng standards
and, accordingly, included such tests of the accounting records and such other
auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the clrcumstances.
We performed the procedures contained in the publication entitled Guidellnes
for Compliance Audits of California Redevelopment Asencies as promulgated by
the Controller of the State of Californ1a in connect10n w1th a review or the
Agency's compliance with laws, regulations and administrative requirements
governing activities of the Agency, as required by Section 33080.1(a) of the
Health and Safety Code of the State of California. The procedures we performed
would not necessarily disclose instances of noncompliance because they were
based on select1ve tests of accounting records and related data.
During the performance of the aforementioned procedures, nothing came to our
attention that would lead us to believe that the Agency did not comply with
applicable laws, regulations and administrative requirements governing its
activities. This report is to be used solely for filings with appropriate
regulatory agencies and is not intended for any other purpose.

Attn: Mr. Ernesto R. Flores
Economlc Development Manager
Dear Mr. Flores:
Enclosed is a tabulation of proJected taxable value and resulting
tax revenue (Table 1) for Ocean Park Redevelopment proJects l( a)
and lIb) (hereinafter sometimes referred to cOllectively as the
Ocean Park Redevelopment ProJect or as the ProJect). The pro-
Jected revenues are based on information supplied by Agency staff;
assumptions determ~ned by our rev~ew of the ProJect taxable value
history: the property tax assessment and tax apportionment proce-
dures of Los Angeles County; and prellminary County reports of
1984-85 taxable value for the ProJect Area.
~eneral A~sumptions
Tax revenues for 1984-85 have been proJected by applying an esti-
mated 1984-85 tax rate ($1. 045375 per $100) to total lncremental
taxable value for the proJect Area, as reported by the Los Angeles
County Auditor-controller. The 1984-85 tax rate and the rates
utilized ln subsequent fiscal years have been estimated based on
the actual annual decline experienced in the overnde tax rate
from 1978-79 to 1983-84. The hlstorical declining trend lS as-
sumed to continue in future years unt~l 1988-89 when the tax rate
is assumed to stabilize at one percent ($1.00 per $100) of taxable
value established by Article XIIIA of the Cal~fornia Constitution.
The overn.de tax rate decllne ~s the result of several factors:
an effectIve llm~t, established by Article XIIIA, on the amount
that can be levied (l.e., annual debt serv~ce on indebtedness ap-
proved by the voters puor to 1978): nsing taxable values w~thln
the Jurisdictions of taxing entities levying the approved override
rate (thereby redUCIng the amount needed to be lev led by the tax-
~ng entity to meet annual debt service requ~rements): and the ac-
tual retirement, over time, of the voter-approved debt.
WhIle the tax rate ~s assumed to declIne to one percent of taxable
value and remain constant in subsequent years, current law permlts
taXIng ent~ties derivlng revenues from the one percent rate to re-
duce theIr leVIes under certaIn circumstances. It is the apparent

Intent of the law to insulate the other taxing entitles and redevelop-
ment agencies from the effects of such reduct10ns on their property tax
revenues. For purposes of this analysis, It 1S assumed that any use of
a tax rate reductIon from the one percent rate by any taxing entIty
allocated revenues from property taxes collected withIn the proJect Area
would not have a detrimental fiscal impact upon the Agency's receipt of
Incremental tax revenues.
Impacts of Lesislat10n
InitIative PetItion - An InItiatIve petItIon (the -lnItIative-) has qua-
lified for the general election of November 6, 1984. The initiatIve
would amend the state ConstitutIon to further restrict State and local
government's ability to levy new taxes or increase existIng taxes. If
enacted, among the provis1ons of the resulting constitutIonal amendment
would be the requirement that taxable values on the 1978-79 tax rolls be
reconc1led to eliminate any annual inflationary adJustments (lImIted to
a maximum of 2% annually) to real property values used 1n creating that
year's roll. Per the provisions of Art1cle XIIIA of the California Con-
stitution, 1975-76 values, and SUbsequent years' values for property
which changed ownersh1p or was newly constructed, were used as a basis
for creating the 1978-79 tax rolls. The initiative would result 1n a
reduction of 1978-79 values and would affect the values of each parcel
in the ProJect Area for each subsequent year, unless and/or untIl such
parcel was reassessed under the provisions of ArtiCle XIIIA. The ini-
tiative also would require the refunding of all property taxes paid,
plus lnterest, in eXCess of the amount WhICh would have been requ1red
with the lower values. The inItiative does not include any proviSions
for the method of refunding moneys should such action become necessary,
state legislation would be required to establlsh such a method.
Redevelopment agencies with proJects which have generated tax increment
in the years since passage of Article XIIIA would ostenslbly be liable
for some, If not all, of the refund due to proJect area taxpayers as a
result of passage of this new Initlative. Addltlonally, proJect area
values would be adJusted downward reflecting the removal of the pre-
1978-79 Inflat10nary adJustments from values for 1978-79 and subsequent
tax years. This may result 1n a reduction of tax 1ncrement revenue to
be rece1ved by an agency 1n future fiscal years.
Katz Hollis has analyzed the potentlal 1mpact of the lnitlative on ProJ-
ect resources and has submitted that analys1s to the Agency under separ-
ate cover. Under the assumpt10ns utllized 1n that analys1s, approval of

the initiative would require an est1mated total refund, including inter-
est, through 1984-85 of $79,512. Further, annual revenues from the
Project have been estimated to decline by $8,315 1n 1984-85 and subse-
quent years. Projected tax increment revenues, shown on Table l, have
not been reduced to reflect the potential effect of the in1tiat1ve on
Project revenue.
Supplemental Lien Dates
A bill enacted last year, SB 813 (statutes of 1983, Chapter 498), pro-
v1des for the supplemental assessment and taxation of property as of the
occurrence of a change of ownership or completion of new construction.
Previously, statutes enabled the assessment of such changes only as of
the Harch 1 tax lien date next following the change and thus delayed the
rea11zat10n of increased property taxes from the new assessments for up
to 14 months. As enacted, Chapter 498 prov1des 1ncreased revenue to
redevelopment agencles to the extent that new construction or changes of
ownershlp occur within the boundaJ::1es of redevelopment proJects subse-
quent to the March 1 lien date. For the purpose of this analys1s, no
attempt has been made to estlmate the impact on revenues to the Agency
as a result of supplemental assessments. The proJection on Table 1 con-
tains no adJustments to value or revenue as a reflection of such adJust-
ments.
Bus1ness Inventory Revenue
In 1979, the Legislature enacted Assembly Bill 66 (statutes of 1979,
Chapter 1150), e1iminat1ng the assessment and taxation of business in-
ventory property and providing for replacement revenue for local agen-
cies, except redevelopment agencies. In 1980, the LegiSlature enacted
AB 1994 (Statutes of 1980, Chapter 610) providing replacement revenue,
1n part, for the loss of business inventory revenues for redevelopment
agenc1es. Because of the residential nature of the Ocean Park Redevel-
opment ProJect, the amount of the replacement revenue rece1ved by the
Agency has been minimal in each fiscal year (approximately $150).
The Leg1s1ature has now enacted SB 794 (Statutes of 1980, Chapter 447),
repealing the provision for state replacement revenue provided 1n Chap-
ter 1150 and Chapter 610 for local agencies. This measure holds rede-
velopment agencies harmless from the loss of bus1ness lnventory replace-
ment revenues through state payments (spec~al subventions). The special
subventions would be 1n amounts equal to the difference between the pre-

vl.ously received business inventory replacement revenue and revenue de-
ci ved by vlrtue of supplemental assessments (discussed above). If in
any year, however, the previous year's revenues from the supplemental
tax roll exceeds the former amount of bUsl.ness l.nventory subvention
revenue, that prior year I s excess will be crealted agalnst the state
subvention due. This legislation, effectlve for the 1984-85 fiscal
year, will have an lnslgnlficant impact on proJect resources, and has
not been lncluded In proJected tax revenues shown on Table 1.
Verification of 1984-85 Taxable Value
A review of the current year value for Ocean Park Redevelopment ProJect
was conducted in order to venfy the accuracy of the 1984-85 ProJect
Area values reported by Los Angeles County. Incorrectly reported values
for a proJect area affect the amount by which the total proJect value
exceeds the base year value, resulting in tax increment receipts which
could be elther higher or lower than amounts actually due an agency.
The review consisted of a parcel-by-parcel reVlew of the local secured
and unsecured property tax values, and a review of taxable values for
state assessed property.
There appear to be two relatively IDlnor errors made by Los Angeles
County in the computatlon of 1984-85 taxable value for the project
Area. First, unsecured assessments outside the Project Area, havlng a
comblned taxable value of $351,572, have been lncorrectly encoded for
inClusion in total proJect value. The taxable value attributable to
these assessments has been excluded from the prOJected Tax Allocatlons
shown on Table 1. Secondly, an assessment apparently located wlthin the
proJect Area boundanes has been excluded In the county's determination
of total ~roject value. As of this writing, staff within the county AS-
sessor's offlce are currently investigating their records concernlng the
ProJect boundaries to determine the approprlateness of encodlng thls as-
sessment for lncluslon in total ProJect value. (The 1984-85 taxable
value of thls assessment lS $3,066,555.) The potential increase in
Agency tax revenues which rnlght result from the verlflcatlon and reas-
signment by the County of the $3 mlllion assessment has not, however,
been included 1n the proJectlon.
Tax Disbursement
since 1979-80, the Agency has actually recelved from approx1mately 96 to
108 percent of estlmated tax lncrement revenues computed based upon proJ-

ect Area values as reported by the County Auditor-Controller in August
of each fiscal year. The Agency's receipt of revenues Wh1Ch vary from
originally computed revenues 1S the result of several factorsj delln-
quent tax payments, redemptlon paymen ts from pr 1 or years, and ad Just-
ments to the tax roll made throughout the fiscal year. In subsequent
fiscal years, lt is also antlcipated that actual receipts may vary from
original estimates. Because histor1cally, receipts in the Ocean Park
Redevelopment ProJect have not van.ed signif1cantly from origlnal esti-
mates, and have exceeded original estimates 1n certain fiscal years,
Table 1 does not reflect potentlal adJustments of th1S nature.
In accordance w1th the Agency's tax recelpt experience, combined secured
and unsecured tax allocat10ns attr ibutable to the August estimate of
revenues are received 1n periodic payments through January, representlng
approxlmately 45% of the total revenue, wlth an additional 45% recelved
through the end of May. The balance of the revenues are received
through August of the fo1lowlng fiscal year.
Historlcal Taxable values
A review of taxable values Wl thln the project Area since 1978-79 was
conducted in order to determine the historical stabillty anil/or growth
of revenue generation w1th1n the ProJect Area. The review revealed
that, in recent fiscal years (i.e., 1983-84 and 1984-851, taxable values
for certain categories of property Were demonstrat1ng aberrant trends.
Further analysis undertaken to establish the cause of the aberrat10ns
ind~cated that changes in ownership within the completed Sea Colony I
and II resident1al condomlnlum development were, in some instances, re-
sult1ng in a net decrease 1n the taxable value for an indiv1dua1 unit.
Discussions with county appralsal staff and a parcel-by-parcel analysis
of all valuation changes which have occurred within the development
since 1982-83 1ndicate that the assessed values be~ng ass1gned to resold
un~ts ln recent Elscal years are less than values assigned in earl1er
years of the development's eX1stence. It 1S unclear whether the decline
is due to overstatement of the ear11er assessments or a net real decline
in the market value of the unlts. W1th regard to the latter, County ap-
praisal staff respons1ble for assigning taxable values to Sea Colony I
and II 1nd1.cate that market condlt1ons have now improved such that the
value of units selling presently and 1.n the near future should approxi-
mate the 1980 sales values.

If the improvement in market condltions does reVerse the trend of deva-
1uatlon for the unlts, total growth in value for the ProJect Area (which
has, in all years analyzed, off-set the decline ln value of the condomi-
niums} should accelerate. We have, however, excluded from the projec-
tions of Table 1 any trended growth for the proJect Area ln fiscal years
1985-86 through 1987-88 as a ref1ectlon of the possibi11ty of contlnued
decline in the value of the condomlnlums.
Bew Construction Activity
The estimates of taxable value added as a result of new construction and
change in ownership activlty in the proJect Area include valuation esti-
mates for an anticipated residentla1 development, .Colony III,. for
which the exact scope and timJ.ng have yet to be finalized. An Amended
Sales Agreement (August 17, 1983} between the Agency and Pacific Doml-
nion Property Company (the Developer) provldes, under certain speclfied
conditions, for the transfer of the proposed development site from the
Agency to the Developer. Assumptions concerning the planned scope and
timJ.ng of the proposed development are based prlmarily on information
provlded by representatives of Paciflc Dominlon Property Company. Table
2 J.ndicates the estimated year to year additlon of taxable value to the
ProJect. Resultant increases in tax allocations for 1985-86 through
1994-95 are reflected in Table 1.
Sea Colony III is planned as a reSldentla1 development of PaClfic Domi-
nion Property Company which completed a similar residential development
wlthln the Project Area (Sea Colony I and II) in 1980. Plans for Sea
Colony III include 26 townhouses and a four-story, 127 unit resldentla1
condominium overlooking the ocean. Construction is anticipated to start
in the first quarter of 1985 and be completed in the fourth quarter of
1986. Additional taxable value as a result of the constructlon of the
unlts is assumed to be added to the 1986-87 and 1987-88 tax rolls.
Based on absorption rates experienced ln the sale of Sea Colony I and II
unlts, lt lS assumed that approximately 65% of the units will close
escrow through March, 1988 with the rema1ning units to close escrow by
March, 1989.
In addltion to the development of Seal colony III, lt lS our understand-
lng that ln1tlal steps are underway to convert approxlmately 500 reS1-
dential rental units (the Santa Monica Shores) into condom1niuws with1n
the Project boundaries. AS the tlm1ng and realJ.zatlon of the converSlon
are not known at the present time, this development actlvlty is not in-

eluded 1n the ProJection of Tax Allocatlons. Should the Santa Monica
Shores ultimately be sold as 1ndividual resl.dences, tax increment reve-
nues generated by the ProJect w.ould increase slgnificantly over the
amounts proJected in Table 1.
Trended Taxable Value Growth
Amounts added as the result of trended growth are based on the followlng
assumptlons:
Real Property Values: Real property is comprised of locally assessed
secured and unsecured land and improvements. Slnce the enactment of
Article XIIIA (effective as of the 1978-79 Fiscal Year), these values
have been lim1 ted to growth reflecting 1nflation of up to two percent
annually. MaJor exceptions to this .stabill.zation" of value are new
assessments whl.ch may occur in lnstances of new construction or changes
of ownership. The attached proJections are based on the assumption that
l.nflation wlll remaln at a minimum of two percent annually in future
Years. The PrO)ectlons on Table 1, however, exclude any trended growth
through Flscal Year 1987-88 as a reflection of the possl.bl.l1ty of a de-
chne in value of Sea Colony I and II. (See Historical Taxable Value
sectlOn above.) In 1986-89 and thereafter, the maXl.mum lnflationary in-
crease allowable (2 percent) has been included 1n the proJection.
State Board of Equal1zation Values: Taxable values for propert1es as-
sessed by the State Board of Equalization (SSE), shown under Other Prop-
erty ln Table 1, have been held constant at 1984-85 levels for the pur-
poses of the attached projections. A recent decislon by the state Court
of Appeals, discussed below, may have an impact on the manner in WhlCh
utility property is assessed by the SSE. However, such impact cannot be
determlned at thl.S time, and has not been consldered in preparation of
the attached prOJection.
Following the passage of PrOposltlon 13, addlng Artlcle XIIIA to the
state Constltution, the state Board of Equalization determlned that the
provlsions of that Article requlrlng a roll back of real property values
to theu 1975-76 values did not apply to state assessed property. The
State Court of Appeals has recently overturned thlS deternunat10n and
ruled that public utility property assessed by SBE should have been
treated in the same manner as all other property. (ITT World Cornmunica-
tlons, Inc. v. city and County of San Francisco, 151 Cal. App. 3d 1.
Cal. Rptr.-Jan. 1984).

The State Court of Appeal's declsion has been appealed to the californla
Supreme Court. However, a hearlng date has yet to be set. SBE staff
have lndicated that if the Appeal Court's deciSlon is upheld by the
SUpreme Court, the resulting assessments are not antlcipated to have
s ignlficant impact state....ide, or on maJor utility assessees. However,
