INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors
Lake Elsinore Redevelopment Agency
Lake Elsinore, California
We have audited the accompanyvlg financial statements of the governmental activities, each major
fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Lake Elsinore Redevelopment Agency (a
component unit of the City of Lake Elsinore), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2011, which
collectively comprise the Agency's basic financial statements, as listed in the table of contents. These
basic financial statements are the responsibility of the Agency's management. Our responsibility is to
express opinions on these basic financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the basic financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Agency's internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall basic financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, the basic financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the Lake Elsinore Redevelopment Agency as of June 30, 2011, and the
respective changes in financial position thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Agency will continue as
a going concern. As explained further in Note 15, on December 29, 2011, the California Supreme
Court upheld California Assembly Bill 1 x 26 which provides for the dissolution of redevelopment
agencies and invalidated Assembly Bill lx 27 which allowed an alternative for redevelopment
agencies to continue operations. The California Supreme Court's decisions raise substantial doubt
about the Agency's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As described in Note 8 to the basic financial statements, the Agency has implemented the provisions of
Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement Number 54, "Fund Balance Reporting and
Governmental Fund Type Definitions ", for the year ended June 30, 2011.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
December 30, 201 l on our consideration of the Lake Elsinore Redevelopment Agency's internal
control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws;
regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to
describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the
results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or
on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government
Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.
Management has not presented the management's discussion and analysis that accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic
financial statements. Such missing information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is
required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of
financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic,
or historical context. Our opinion on the basic financial statements is not affected by this missing
information.
The budgetary comparison schedule, identified as required supplementary information in the table of
contents, is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information
required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This
information is an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an
appropriate operational, economic or historical context. The budgetary comparison schedule and
related note have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information
directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements
or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information
is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the Lake Elsinore Redevelopment Agency's basic financial statements. The combining
schedules and the computation of the Housing Set -Aside Fund Excess Surplus, identified as
supplementary information in the table of contents, are presented for purposes of additional analysis
and are not a required part of the basic financial statements of the Agency. Such information is the
responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting
and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional
procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying
accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the financial
statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

RECONCILIATION OF THE GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS BALANCE SHEET
TO THE STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
June 30, 2011
Fund balances for governmental funds
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Net Assets are different because:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources and
therefore are not reported in the funds.
Interest on interfund loans, interest on notes receivables and property tax reported in
the special revenue funds are not available to pay for current- period expenditures,
and therefore, they are reported as deferred revenue in the funds.
Balance at June 30, 2011 are:
Property tax
Interest on interfund loans
Interest on notes receivable
Long -tern notes receivable used in governmental activities are not financial
resources and therefore are not reported in the funds.
Long -term liabilities and related items are not due and payable in the current
period and are not reported as fund liabilities. All liabilities, both current
and lonb tern, are reported in the Statement of Net Assets. Balances as
of June 30, 2011 are:
Noncurrent liabilities
Less: Deferred amount on refunding, net of accumulated amortization
Less: Bond discount, net of accumulated amortization
Accrued liabilities in the Statement of Net Assets differ from the amounts
reported in governmental funds due to accrued interest on the tax
allocation bonds payable.
Deferred charges in the Statement of Net Assets differ from the amounts
reported in governmental funds due to issuance costs net of related
amortization on the tax allocation bonds.
Net deficit of governmental activities

LAKE ELSINORE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
RECONCILIATION OF THE GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS STATEMENT OF
REVENUES, EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES
TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
For the year ended June 30, 2011
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlay as an expenditure in the full amount as
current financial resources are used. However, in the Statement of Activities the
cost of these assets is allocated over the estimated useful life as depreciation
expense.
Capital outlay
Depreciation
The issuance of long term debt and related items provides current financial resources
to governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long term -debt and
related items consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds.
Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net assets. These amounts are the
net effect of these differences in the treatment of long -term debt.
Principal payments
Principal added on note payable
Refunding bonds issued
Tax allocation bonds issued
Payment to refund bond escrow agent
Deferred amount on refunding
Issuance costs
Discount on bonds
Some expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not require the use
of current financial resources and are not reported as governmental fund
expenditures.
Interest and fiscal charges
Amortization of issuance costs
Amortization of deferred amount on refunding
Amortization of bond discount
Project costs
Some revenues reported in the Statement of Activities do not provide the use
of current financial resources and are not reported as governmental fund
expenditures.

1. REPORTING ENTITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
A. Description of the Reporting Entity:
The Lake Elsinore Redevelopment Agency (the Agency) was established by City Council
ordinance and adopted July 15, 1980, pursuant to the State of California Health and Safety
Code, Section 33000, entitled Community Redevelopment Law. As such, the Agency acts as a
legal entity, separate and distinct from the City of Lake Elsinore (the City), even though the
City Council of the City has the authority to appoint the Agency's governing board.
The actions of the Agency are binding, and business, including the incurrence of long -term
debt, is routinely transacted in the Agency's name by its appointed representatives. The
Agency is broadly empowered to engage in the general economic revitalization and
redevelopment of the City through acquisition and development of property in those areas of
the City determined to be in a declining condition.
The Lake Elsinore City Council has declared itself to be the Agency's governing board
pursuant to the Community Redevelopment Law. The Agency has no employees, and all
Agency duties and functions are performed by employees of the City. The City is reimbursed
for the cost of these and other services.
The Agency is a component unit of the City and, accordingly, the financial statements of the
Agency are included in the financial statements of the City_ The Agency is an integral part of
the reporting entity of the City. The funds of the Agency have been blended within the
financial statements of the City because the City Council of the City is the governing board of
the Agency and exercises control over the operations of the Agency. Only the funds of the
Agency are included herein, therefore, these financial statements do no purport to represent the
financial position or results of operations of the City.
The Agency is currently administering the following redevelopment projects:
Rancho Laguna I
The Rancho Laguna Redevelopment Project No. I was established in 1980 and includes
noncontiguous areas that aggregate 1,910 acres which are primarily concentrated in the
northwestern portion of the community. The need for redevelopment was established as a
result of severe flooding in early 1980 and an inability to provide needed public facilities in the
development of vacant portions of the City and rehabilitation of areas for residential and
commercial use.
See independent auditors' report.

The Agency's Redevelopment Projects (Continued):
Rancho Laguna II
The Rancho Laguna Redevelopment Project No. II was established in 1983 and includes
noncontiguous areas that aggregate 4,859 acres. The Agency plans to develop the project area
primarily for new and rehabilitated residential and commercial use.
Rancho Laguna III
The Rancho Laguna Redevelopment Project No. III was established in 1987 and includes 4
noncontiguous parcels that aggregate 3,541 acres. The project areas are being developed to
alleviate blighting conditions. These include the existence of deteriorated, dilapidated, or
obsolescent structures which the Agency may selectively acquire and either rehabilitate or
remove substandard structures and develop for residential, commercial or industrial use.
B. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation:
Financial Statement Presentation
The basic financial statements of the Agency are composed of the following:
• Government -wide financial statements
• Fund financial statements
• Notes to the basic financial statements
Government -wide Financial Statements
The government -wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement of
activities) report information on all of the activities of the Agency. For the most part, the effect
of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which
normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from
business -type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. The
Agency has no business -type activities.
See independent auditors' report.

B. Measurement Focus; Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued):
Government -wide Financial Statements (Continued)
The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given
function are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable
with a specific function. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers who purchase, use,
or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function and 2) grants
and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a
particular function. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are
reported instead as general revenues.
Fund Financial Statements
The accounting system of the Agency is organized and operated on the basis of separate funds,
each of which is considered to be a separate accounting entity. Each fund is accounted for by
providing a separate set of self - balancing accounts that constitute its assets, liabilities, fund
equity, revenues, and expenditures. Governmental resources are allocated to and accounted for
in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by
which spending activities are controlled.
Fund financial statements for the Agency's governmental funds are presented after the
government -wide financial statements. These statements display information about major
funds individually and other governmental funds in the aggregate for governmental funds.
The Agency reports the following major governmental funds:
The Rancho Laguna Special Revenue Fund is used to account for low and moderate income
housing activities within the project areas.
The Rancho Laguna I Debt Service Fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources
for, and the payment of, long -term debt principal, interest and related costs within this project
area.
The Rancho Laguna II Debt Service Fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources
for, and the payment of, long -term debt principal, interest and related costs within this project
area.
The Rancho Laguna III Debt Service Fund is used to account for the accumulation of
resources for, and the payment of, long -term debt principal, interest and related costs within
this project area.

Additionally, the Agency reports the following fund types:
The Cost Recovery System Special Revenue Fund is used to account for receipts of deposits
made by McMillin Summerly, LLC to reimburse the Agency for professional service costs
associated with a disposition and development agreement.
The Capital Proiects Funds are used to account for financial resources to be used for the
acquisition or construction of redevelopment projects and administrative expenses within the
Stadium Capital Projects, Rancho Laguna I, Rancho Laguna II and Rancho Laguna III project
areas.
The Agency Fund is used to account for money received by the Agency as an agent for
individuals, other governments and other entities.
Measurement Focus
Measurement focus is a term used to describe "which" transactions are recorded within the
various financial statements.
On the government -wide Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities, activities are
presented using the economic resources measurement focus. Under the economic resources
measurement focus, all (both current and long -term) economic resources and obligations of the
government are reported.
In the fund financial statements, all governmental funds are accounted for on a spending or
"financial flow" measurement focus. This means that only current assets and current liabilities
are generally included on their balance sheets. Their reported fund balances (net current assets)
are considered a measure of "available spendable resources ". Governmental fund operating
statements present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases
(expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. Accordingly, they are said to
present a summary of sources and uses of available spendable resources during a period.
See independent auditors' report.

B. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued):
Measurement Focus (Continued)
Noncurrent portions of long -term receivables due to governmental funds are reported on their
balance sheets in spite of their measurement focus. However special reporting treatments are
used to indicate that they should not be considered "available spendable resources ", since they
do not represent net current assets. Recognition of governmental fund type revenue represented
by noncurrent receivables are deferred until they become current receivables. Noncurrent
portions of other long -term receivables are offset by fund balance reserve accounts. Revenues,
expenses, gains, losses, assets, and liabilities resulting from nonexchange transaction are
recognized in accordance with the requirements of GASB Statement No. 33.
Because of their spending measurement focus, expenditure recognition for governmental fund
types excludes amounts represented by noncurrent liabilities. Since they do not affect net
current assets, such long -teen amounts are not recognized as governmental fund type
expenditures or fund liabilities. Amounts expended to acquire capital assets are recorded as
expenditures in the year that resources were expended, rather than as fund assets. The proceeds
of long -term debt are recorded as other financing sources rather than as a fund liability.
Amounts paid to reduce long -term indebtedness are reported as fund expenditures.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are combined in a fund, expenses are
considered to be paid first from restricted resources, and then from unrestricted resources.
Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to "when" transactions are recorded regardless of the measurement
focus applied.
In the government -wide Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Activities, the governmental
activities are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis of
accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when the liability
is incurred or economic asset used, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Revenues,
expenses, gains, losses, assets, and liabilities resulting from exchange and exchange -like
transactions are recognized when the exchange takes place.
See independent auditors' report.

B. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued):
Basis of Accounting (Continued)
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented using the modified - accrual
basis of accounting. Their revenues are recognized when they become measurable and
available as net current assets. Measurable means that the amounts can be estimated, or
otherwise determined. Available means that the amounts were collected during the reporting
period or soon enough thereafter to be available to finance the expenditures accrued for the
reporting period.
Revenue recognition is subject to the measurable and availability criteria for the goverrunental
funds in the fund financial statements. Exchange transactions are recognized as revenues in the
period in which they are earned (i.e., the related goods or services are provided). Locally
imposed derived tax revenues are recognized as revenues in the period in which the underlying
exchange transaction upon which they are based takes place. Imposed nonexchange
transactions are recognized as revenues in the period for which they were imposed. If the period
of use is not specified, they are recognized as revenues when and enforceable legal claim to the
revenues arises or when they are received, whichever occurs first. Government- mandated and
voluntary nonexchange transactions are recognized as revenues when all applicable eligibility
requirements have been met. Revenues accrued by the Agency include property taxes levied
and collected within 60 days from the end of the fiscal year.
C. Investments:
Investments are reported at fair value. Investment income includes interest earnings, changes
in fair value, and any gains or losses related to the liquidation or sale of the investment.
D. Restricted Net Assets:
The Agency is required by California Law to set aside a portion of the property tax increments
it receives to increase and improve the City's supply of Low and Moderate Income Housing,
and therefore such assets are restricted for that purpose.
See independent auditors' report.

Property taxes are assessed and collected each fiscal year according to the following property
tax calendar:
Lien Date:
Levy Date:
Due Date:
Delinquent Date:
January I
July 1 to June 30
First Installment - November 1
Second Installment - February
First Installment - December 10
Second Installment - April 10
Under California law, property taxes are assessed and collected by the counties up to I% of
assessed value, plus other increases approved by the voters. The property taxes go into a pool,
and are then allocated to the agencies based on complex formulas prescribed by the state
statutes.
F. Interfund Activity:
In the governmental fund financial statements, activity between funds that are representative of
lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as
either "due to /from other funds" (i.e. the current portion of interfund loans) or "advances
to /from other funds" (i.e. the noncurrent portion of interfund loans). In the government -wide
financial statements, these activities have been eliminated.
Noncurrent portions of long -term interfund loan receivables are reported as advances and such
amounts are offset equally by a fund balance reserve account which indicates that they do not
constitute expendable available financial resources and therefore are not available for
appropriation.
G. Capital Assets:
Capital assets, which include land, structures, equipment, and infrastructure assets, are reported
in the government -wide financial statements. Capital assets are recorded at cost where
historical records are available and at an estimated historical cost where no historical records
exist. Assets purchased in excess of $5,000 are capitalized if they have an expected useful life
of 2 years or more. Donated capital assets are valued at their estimated fair market value at the
date of donation. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of
the asset's lives are not capitalized.
See independent auditors' report.

1. REPORTING ENTITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
G. Capital Assets (Continued):
Major capital outlay for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are
constructed. For debt - financed capital assets, interest incurred during the construction phase is
reflected in the capitalization value of the asset constructed, net of interest earned on the
invested proceeds over the same period. There is no interest expense capitalized by the Agency
for the year ended June 30, 2011.
Capital assets used in operations are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the
straight -line method in the government -wide financial statements. Depreciation is charged as
an expense against operations and accumulated depreciation is reported on the Statement of Net
Assets. The range of lives used for depreciation purposes for each capital asset class is as
follows:
Buildings 40 years
Improvements other than buildings 25 years
Machinery and equipment 5 - 8 years
Furniture and fixtures 5 years
H. Long -Term Obligations:
In the government -wide financial statements, long -tem debt and other long -term obligations are
reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities. Bond premiums and discounts,
deferred amount on refunding, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the
life of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the
applicable bond premium or discount and deferred amount on refunding. Bond issuance costs
are reported as deferred charges and amortized over the term of the related debt.
In the governmental fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond
premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face
amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt
issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported
as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds
received, are reported as debt service expenditures.

I. Fund Balance:
In the governmental fund financial statements, governmental fund types report nonspendable
and restricted fund balance for amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally
restricted by outside parties for use for a specific purpose. Assigned fund balance represent
tentative management plans that are subject to change.
J. Tax Increment:
The Agency follows a policy of contractual obligations for the purpose of spending tax
increment revenue. This policy holds that all expenditures of the Capital Projects Funds (i.e.
salaries, goods and supplies, professional services, etc.) are contractual obligations. Monies are
therefore transferred from the Debt Service Funds to cover the costs of the expenditures from
the Capital Projects Funds.
The Agency has no power to levy and collect taxes, and any legislative property tax reduction
might necessarily reduce the amount of tax revenues that would otherwise be available.
Broadened property tax exemptions could have a similar effect. Conversely, any increase in
the tax rate or assessed valuation, or any reduction or elimination of present exemptions would
necessarily increase the amount of tax revenues that would be available.
K. Explanation of Differences between the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet and the Statement
of Net Assets:
The "total fund balances" of the Agency's governmental funds $7,088,927 differs from "net
assets" of governmental activities $(15,783,127) reported in the Statement of Net Assets. This
difference primarily results from the long -term economic focus of the Statement of Net Assets
versus the current financial resources focus of the Governmental Fund Balance Sheets.
Capital Assets
Capital assets are recorded as expenditures in the full amount as current financial resources are
used in the governmental funds. However, the Statement of Net Assets allocates these capital
assets as financial resources over their estimated useful life.
Capital assets, net of depreciation $ 11.566.861

Investments of debt proceeds held by bond trustee are governed by provisions of the debt
agreements, rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code or the Agency's
investment policy. Investments authorized for funds held by bond trustee include, United States
Treasury Obligations, United States Government Sponsored Agency Securities, Guaranteed
Investment Contracts, Commercial Paper, Local Agency Bonds, Banker's Acceptance and Money
Market Mutual Funds. There were no limitations on the maximum amount can be invested in one
issuer, maximum percentage allowed or the maximum maturity of an investment, except for the
maturity of Commercial Paper which is limited to 92 days and of Banker's Acceptances which are
limited to one year.
Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value
of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of
its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the Agency manages its
exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer tenn
investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing
or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity
needed for operations.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the Agency's investments (including
investments held by bond trustee) to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following
table that shows the distribution of the Agency's investments by maturity:

Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the
holder of the investment. This is measured by the assign rent of a rating by a nationally recognized
statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required by (where
applicable) the California Government Code, the Agency's investment policy, or debt agreements,
and the actual rating by Standard and Poor, as of year end for each investment type:

institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover
collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for
investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker - dealer) to a
transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral
securities that are in the possession of another party.

2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED):
Custodial Credit Risk (Continued)
The California Government Code and the Agency's investment policy do not contain legal or
policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or
investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The California Government Code
requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by
pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law
(unless so waived by the goverrumental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the
collateral pool must equal at least 110 % of the total amount deposited by the public agencies.
California law also allows financial institutions to secure the Agency's deposits by pledging first
trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits. At
June 30, 2011, the Agency's deposits (bank balances) were fully insured by the Federal Depository
Insurance Corporation.
Investment in State Investment Pool
The Agency is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is
regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of
the State of California. The fair value of the Agency's investment in this pool is reported in the
accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the Agency's pro -rata share of the fair
value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that
portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by
LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis.
Investment in California Asset Management Program
The California Asset Management Program (the CAMP) is a public joint powers authority which
provides California Public Agencies with investment management services for surplus funds and
comprehensive investment management, accounting and arbitrage rebate calculation services for
proceeds of tax - exempt financings. The CAMP currently offers the Cash Reserve Portfolio, a
short-term investment portfolio, as a means for Public Agencies to invest these funds. Public
Agencies that invest in the Pool (Participants) purchase shares of beneficial interest. Participants
may also establish individual, professionally managed investment accounts (individual Portfolios)
by separate agreement with the Investment Advisor. The Agency has a separate account with the
Investment Advisor to manage part of the CAMP portfolio which consists of $7,911,514 of United
States Government Sponsored Agency Securities and $7,232,855 of United States Treasury
Obligations.

Investments in the Pools and Individual Portfolios are made only in investments in which Public
Agencies generally are permitted by California statute. The CAMP may reject any investment and
may limit the size of a Participant's account. The Pool seeks to maintain, but does not guarantee, a
constant net asset value of $1.00 per share. A Participant may withdraw funds from its Pool
accounts at any time by check or wire transfers. Requests for wire transfers must be made by
9:00 a.m. that day. Fair value of the Pool is determined by the fair value per share of the Pool's
underlying portfolio.

6. LONG -TERM LIABILITIES (CONTINUED):
A. Loans Payable:
Public Financing Authority
The City of Lake Elsinore's Public Financing Authority (the Authority) has issued Tax
Allocation Revenue Bonds for financing projects of the Agency and to provide funds for the
various debt obligations of the Agency. The Agency has entered into loan agreements with the
Authority which mirror the bonds issued by the Authority. Concurrent with the execution and
delivery of the loan agreements, the Authority issued the aggregate principal amount of its Tax
Allocation Revenue Bonds. The loans were made from the proceeds of the bonds. The
principal and interest are payable in installment payments payable not less than three business
days prior to each interest payment date on the bonds.
At June 30, 2011, loan agreements between the Agency and Authority totaled $60,080,000
based on 2010 Series A Tax Allocation Revenue Bonds, 2010 Series B Tax Allocation Revenue
Bonds, 2010 Series C Tax Allocation Revenue Bonds and the 2011 Series A Tax Allocation
Revenue Bonds issued by the Authority with proceeds disbursed as follows:
Public Financing Authority - 1999 Series A
In February 1999, $33,450,000 principal amount of Tax Allocation Revenue Bonds, Series A,
was issued by the Authority. Concurrent with this issuance, the principal amount was loaned to
the Agency through the release of the net proceeds of the financing. The net proceeds were
used to advance refund $34,825,000 of outstanding 1992 Tax Allocation Revenue Bonds and to
provide funds for the acquisition and construction of certain public Improvements within the
Rancho Laguna Redevelopment Project Areas I and II. The Bonds were refunded by the 2010
Series C Tax Allocation Revenue Bonds in October 2010.
Public Financing Authority - 2010 Series A
In February 2010, S15,435,000 principal amount of Tax Allocation Revenue Bonds, Series A,
was issued by the Authority. Concurrent with this issuance, the principal amount was loaned to
the Agency through the release of the net proceeds of the financing. The net proceeds were
used to advance refund $13,170,000 of outstanding 1999 Series C Tax Allocation Revenue
Bonds. Tax revenue from Project Areas 1, 2, 3 and the Low and Moderate Income Housing
Fund are pledged for repayment of the loan. In the event that tax revenue is not sufficient, the
Agency has covenanted to make an interfund loan from other Project Areas. The loan is
payable in annual installments of $305,000 to $2,910,000 from September 1, 2010 through
September 1, 2033; interest at 2.00% to 5.25 %. The loan balance at June 30, 2011 is
$14,755,000. At June 30, 2011, the Agency has a cash reserve balance for debt service of
$1,472,778 which is sufficient to cover the Bond Indenture Reserve Requirement.

In May 2010, $10,855,000 principal amount of Tax Allocation Revenue Bonds, Series B, was
issued by the Authority. Concurrent with this issue, the principal amount was loaned to the
Agency through the release of the net proceeds of the financing. The net proceeds were used to
advance refund $10,065,000 of outstanding 1995 Series A Tax Allocation Revenue Bonds. Tax
revenues from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund are pledged for the repayment of
the loan. The loan is payable in annual installments of $515,000 to $895,000 from
September 1, 2010 through September 1, 2025; interest at 2.00% to 4.75 %. The loan balance at
June 30, 2011 is $10,340,000. At June 30, 2011, the Agency has a cash reserve balance for debt
service of $939,806 which is sufficient to cover the Bond Indenture Reserve Requirement.
Public Financing Authority - 2010 Series C
In October 2010, $29,435,000 principal amount of Tax Allocation Revenue Bonds, Series C,
was issued by the Authority. Concurrent with this issue, the principal amount was loaned to the
Agency through the release of the net proceeds of the financing. The net proceeds were used to
advance refund $27,495,000 of outstanding 1999 Series A Tax Allocation Revenue Bonds. Tax
revenues from Project Areas 1 and 2 are pledged for the repayment of the loan. In the event
that tax revenues are not sufficient from Project Areas l and 2, the Agency has covenanted to
make interfund loans from Project Area 3 and the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund to
make the loan payment. The loan is payable in annual installments of $605,000 to $2,115,000
from September 1, 2011 through September 1, 2030; interest at 2.00% to 5.00 %. The loan
balance at June 30, 2011 is $29,435,000. At June 30, 2011, the Agency has a cash reserve
balance for debt service of $2,223,028 which is sufficient to cover the Bond Indenture Reserve
Requirement.
The advance refunding resulted in an economic gain of $1,653,015 and a decrease in cash
flows of $2,252,722. Proceeds from the 2010 Series C bonds were invested in an escrow fund
with a trustee which together with earnings will pay interest and principal on the bonds until
fully retired. The 1999 Series A bonds are legally defeased and are no longer a liability of the
Agency.

These bonds are authorized pursuant to the Mello -Roos Community Facilities District Act of 1982,
as amended, and are payable from special taxes levied on property within the Community Facility
Districts according to a methodology approved by the voters within the District and by the Board
of the Agency. Neither the faith and credit nor taxing power of the Agency is pledged to the
payment of the bonds. Reserves have been established from the bond proceeds to meet
delinquencies should they occur and amounted to $1,447,238 at June 30, 2011. if delinquencies

8. GOVERNMENTAL FUND BALANCE CLASSIFICATIONS:
The Agency has implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 54,
"Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions ", for the year ended
June 30, 2011. The fund balances reported on the fund statements now consist of the following
categories:
Nonspendable Fund Balance - This classification includes amounts that cannot be spent because
they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained
intact.
Restricted Fund Balance - This classification includes amounts that can be spent only for specific
purposes stipulated by constitution, external resource providers or through enabling legislation.
Committed Fund Balance - This classification includes amounts that can be used only for the
specific purposes determined by a formal action of the government's highest level of
decision - making authority.
Assigned Fund Balance - This classification includes amounts to be used by the government for
specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed. In
governmental funds, other than the general fund, assigned fund balance represents the remaining
amount that is not restricted or committed.
Unassigned Fund Balance - This classification includes all spendable amounts not contained in
other classifications. The unassigned classification is used only to report a deficit balance resulting
from overspending for specific purposes for which amounts had been restricted, committed or
assigned.
When an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund
balances are available, the Agency's policy is to apply restricted fund balance first.
When an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which committed, assigned or unassigned fund
balances are available, the Agency's policy is to apply committed fund balance first, then assigned
fund balance, and finally unassigned fund balance.

In order to lessen the fiscal impact of the tax increment financing of redevelopment projects on

various governmental agencies to "pass- through" portions of tax increment funds received by the
Agency, attributable to the area within the territorial limits of other agencies.
11. FUND BALANCE DEFICITS AND TENTATIVE PLAN TO ELIMINATE THE DEFICITS:
The Rancho Laguna I and III Debt Service Funds have accumulated fund deficits of $10,287,184
and $16,712,896, respectively, at June 30, 2011. These deficits are due to interfund loans and
interest related to loans from the Housing Fund and in Rancho Laguna III, an interfund loan from
Rancho Laguna II.
In fiscal year 1995/96 Lake Elsinore Finance Authority issued tax allocation revenue bonds the
proceeds of which were deposited into the Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund
( "Housing Fund "). For purposes of the bond documents, this account was designated as the
"Rancho Laguna Special Revenue Fund ". The proceeds of these bonds were then transferred via
interfund loans to the three project areas to cover debt service on prior notes and bonds. In
November 1995, a Riverside Superior Court validated the bond issue and use of bond proceeds.
The Interfund Loan Agreements were part of the validation action. These agreements include
loans for debt service among project area accounts as well as the Housing Fund (Rancho Laguna
Special Revenue Fund). The Agency tracks the amount to /from the various accounts in accordance
with the Interfund Loan Agreements.

11. FUND BALANCE DEFICITS AND TENTATIVE PLAN TO ELIMINATE THE DEFICITS
(CONTINUED):
The Interfund Loan Agreement legally creates the debt and allows for repayment from available
funds as determined by the Agency. Refunding of the bonds does not necessitate revision of the
underlying Interfund Loan Agreements.
The Agency accounts for all payments into and out of the Housing Fund (Rancho Laguna Special
Revenue Fund) in accordance with the Interfund Loan Agreement. All payments from the Housing
Fund are reported as debt to the Housing Fund and the Agency has recognized its obligation to
repay these funds. When the State Department of Housing and Community Development
conducted its 2000 audit of the Agency's Housing Fund, it recognized the protection of the
validation action and found that the Agency has properly tracked and recognized its debt to the
Housing Fund.
The Housing Fund debt has been discussed with the Agency Board and is addressed in several
contexts. From a budgetary standpoint, the Agency has balanced repayment of the City Loan and
repayment of the Housing Fund debt with its other obligations. A repayment schedule to retire the
Agency's Housing Fund debt was prepared during the negotiations of the 2002 Civic Laing DDA.
The 2002 DDA recognized the Housing Fund deficit as a priority obligation with a repayment
schedule of up to $500,000 /year commencing in year 11. The 2011 Amended and Restated DDA
maintains the priority designation of the Agency Housing Fund repayment obligation and allows
payments from the Developer's and Master Developer's Tax Increment up to $833,333 /year. The
Agency's 2005 -2009 and 2009 -2014 Implementation Plans also recognized the Housing Fund debt
and proposal to establish a repayment plan /schedule. To date the Agency has had insufficient
funds to maintain debt reduction payments.
In July 2010, the Agency Board approved an Interfund Loan Promissory Note dated as of
July 2008 to document advances from the Project Area II Special Fund to cover Project Area III
Special Fund debt service obligations.
The plan to eliminate the fund balance deficits is tentative due to the uncertainties surrounding the
continuation of redevelopment agencies in California and the availability of tax increment
revenues. In light of the California Supreme Court's decision upholding AB I x 26 and invalidating
AB Ix 27 and the consequential elimination of tax increment revenues to be allocated to the
Agency and dissolution of the Agency itself, the Agency has no current ability to plan for the
retirement of the debt to the Housing Fund. In the event circumstances change by way of some
future legislative act and the Agency continues to exist and to receive tax increment, we may
recommend adoption of a more formal Housing Deficit Reduction Plan which is permitted, but not
required by law.

The Agency has entered into a bond and loan program to finance low and moderate income
multi - family residential development projects within the City limits. Although the Agency issued
the bonds these debts are not payable from any revenues or assets of the Agency. Neither the faith
and credit nor the taxing power of the Agency, or any political subdivision of the Agency, is

The Agency is a defendant in several other pending lawsuits of a nature common to may similar
jurisdictions. Agency management estimates that the potential claims against the Agency not
covered by insurance resulting from such litigation would not materially affect the basic financial
statements of the Agency.
14. LIABILITY, PROPERTY AND PROTECTION:

The City is a member of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (Authority). The
Authority is composed of 121 California public entities and is organized under a joint powers
agreement pursuant to California Government Code §6500 et seq. The purpose of the Authority
is to arrange and administer programs for the pooling of self - insured losses, to purchase excess
insurance or reinsurance, and to arrange for group purchased insurance for property and other-
coverages. The Authority's pool began covering claims of its members in 1978. Each member
government has an elected official as its representative on the Board of Directors. The Board
operates through a 9- member Executive Cornmittee.

B. Self - Insurance Programs of the Insurance Authority:
A revised cost allocation methodology was introduced in 2010 -11, however it retains many
elements of the previous cost allocation methodology. Each member pays an annual
contribution (formerly called the primary deposit) to cover estimated losses for the coverage
period. This initial funding is paid at the beginning of the coverage period. After the close of
the coverage period, outstanding claims are valued. A retrospective deposit computation is
then conducted annually thereafter until all claims incurred during the coverage period are
closed on a pool -wide basis. This subsequent cost re- allocation among members based on
actual claim development can result in adjustments of either refunds or additional deposits
required.
The total funding requirement for self - insurance programs is estimated using actuarial models
and pre - funded through the annual contribution. Costs are allocated to individual agencies
based on exposure (payroll) and experience (claims) relative to other members of the risk -
sharing pool. Additional information regarding the cost allocation methodology is provided
below.
General Liability Insurance. In the liability program claims are pooled separately between
police and non - police exposures. (1) The payroll of each member is evaluated relative to the
payroll of other members. A variable credibility factor is determined for each member, which
establishes the weight applied to payroll and the weight applied to losses within the formula.
(2) The first layer of losses includes incurred costs up to $30,000 for each occurrence and is
evaluated as a percentage of the pool's total incurred costs within the first layer. (3) The
second layer of losses includes incurred costs from 530,000 to $750,000 for each occurrence
and is evaluated as a percentage of the pool's total incurred costs within the second layer.
(4) Incurred costs in excess of $750,000 up to the reinsurance attachment point of $5 million
are distributed based on the outcome of cost allocation within the first and second loss layers.
(5) Costs of covered claims from $5 million to Sl0 million are paid under a reinsurance
contract subject to a $2.5 million annual aggregate deductible. Costs of covered claims from
$10 million to $15 million are paid under two reinsurance contracts subject to a combined
$3 million annual aggregate deductible. On a cumulative basis for all 2010 -11 reinsurance
contracts the annual aggregate deductible is $5.5 million. (6) Costs of covered claims from
$15 million up to $50 million are covered through excess insurance policies.
The overall coverage limit for each member including all layers of coverage is $50 million per
occurrence.

General Liability Insurance (Continued). Costs of covered claims for subsidence losses are
paid by reinsurance and excess insurance with a pooled sub -limit of $35 million per
occurrence. This $35 million subsidence sub -limit is composed of (a) $5 million retained
within the pool's SIR, (b) $10 million in reinsurance and (c) $20 million in excess insurance.
The excess insurance layer has a $20 million annual aggregate.
C. Purchased Insurance:
All Risk Property Insurance - The City participates in the all -risk property protection program
of the Insurance Authority. This insurance protection is underwritten by several insurance
companies. The City's property is currently insured according to a schedule of covered property
submitted by the City to the Insurance Authority. The City's property currently has all -risk
property insurance protection in the amount of $35,808,267. There is a $5,000 deductible per
occurrence except for non - emergency vehicle insurance which has a $1,000 deductible.
Premiums for the coverage are paid annually and are not subject to retroactive adjustments.
Crime Insurance
The City purchases crime insurance coverage in the amount of $1,000,000 with a $2;500
deductible. The fidelity coverage is provided through the Insurance Authority. Premiums are
paid annually and are not subject to retroactive adjustments.
D. Adequacy of Protection:
During the past three fiscal (claims) years, none of the above programs of protection have
experienced settlements or judgments that exceeded pooled or insured coverage. There were
also no significant reductions in pooled or insured liability coverage in 2010 -2011.
The aforementioned information is not included in the accompanying financial statements.

Taxes Levied
Under provisions of the California Constitutions, taxes levied by any taxing agency on all taxable
property in the project area will be divided as follows when collected:
a. An amount each year equal to the current tax rates applicable to the assessed valuation
(within the project area) prior to the adoption of the Redevelopment Plan will be paid into
the funds of the respective taxing agencies, and
b. Taxes received over and above that amount will be deposited in the Capital Projects
operating funds of the Agency.
The Agency has no power to levy and collect taxes, and any legislated property tax reduction might
reduce the amount of tax revenues that would otherwise be available to pay the amount due to
bondholders. Broadened property tax exemptions would have a similar effect. Conversely, any
increase in the tax rate or assessed valuation, or any reduction or elimination of present exemptions
would increase the amount of tax revenues that would be available to pay principal and interest on
advances from other governments.
McMillin Summerly LLC
On or about December 26, 2002, the Agency entered into a Disposition and Development
Agreement (DDA) with Laing -CP Lake Elsinore LLC and Civic Partners- Elsinore LLC, as
developer and master developer, respectively, covering an area of approximately 3,000 acres
located in Project Areas II and III. As a result of the bankruptcy of the managing member of
Laing -CP Lake Elsinore LLC, Bank of America foreclosed on the property subject to the DDA.
Subsequently, Bank of America transferred the ownership of the property subject to DDA to
McMillin Summerly LLC, who assumed the rights and obligations of the developer under the DDA
pursuant to an Amended and Restated DDA entered into as of March 8, 2011. In the DDA, the
Agency pledged 100% of the net tax increment generated by the property subject to the DDA to the
developer and master developer, excluding, without limitation, moneys to be set aside in the low
and moderate income housing fund and funds payable under existing pass - through agreements.

McMillin Summerly LLC (Continued)
As of June 30, 2011, the Agency has accrued $3,177,229 of tax increment due to the developer and
master developer for payment when due pursuant to the terms of the DDA. A portion of the tax
increment pledge reimburses the developer for construction of certain extraordinary infrastructure
associated with the project. Developer's reimbursement for construction of certain extraordinary
infrastructure is limited to $19,000,000, as adjusted in accordance with the terms of the DDA. The
Agency issued two subordinate tax allocation bonds 2011 Series totaling $4,610,000, the proceeds
of which will be used to reimburse the developer for construction of certain extraordinary
infrastructure. Any unpaid reimbursement of extraordinary infrastructure is to be forgiven upon the
expiration of the Agency's right to receive tax increment under its Redevelopment Plans for Project
Areas II and III. The DDA prohibits further bonded indebtedness secured by tax increment
generated by the project site, other than for specified project purposes.
Supplemental Education Revenue Augmentation Fund ( SERAF)
Pursuant to AB 26 4x, a budget trailer bill, California redevelopment agencies were required to
make Supplemental Education Revenue Augmentation Fund ( SERAF) contributions totaling
$1.7 billion for the fiscal year 2009 -2010 and $350 million for the fiscal year 2010 -2011. Under
AB 26 4x, agencies may borrow a portion of the required contributions from their low and
moderate income housing fund. Alternatively, sponsoring governmental agencies (the cities or
counties) may elect to pay the SERAF contributions on behalf of their redevelopment agencies. On
October 20, 2009, the California Redevelopment Association filed a class action lawsuit on behalf
of all California redevelopment agencies, again challenging the SERAF obligations as
unconstitutional. The court ruled that the SERAF obligations were not unconstitutional.
The Agency's SERAF contributions are $6,976,853 for the fiscal year 2009 -2010 and $1,436,411
for 2010 -2011. For fiscal year 2009 -2010, the Agency paid $4,663,264 from non - housing funds
and the balance of $3,750,000 was from suspending a portion of the 20% set aside amount for
fiscal year 2010 as allowed by the legislation. For fiscal year 2010 -2011, the SERAF payment was
made by the Agency's Debt Service Funds.

Recent Changes in Legislation Affecting California Redevelopment Agencies
On June 29, 2011, the Governor of the State of California signed Assembly Bills l x 26 and 27 as
part of the State's budget package. Assembly Bill 1 x 26 requires each California redevelopment
agency to suspend nearly all activities except to implement existing contracts, meet
already - incurred obligations, preserve its assets and prepare for the impending dissolution of the
agency. Assembly Bill I x 27 provides a means for redevelopment agencies to continue to exist
and operate by means of a Voluntary Alternative Redevelopment Program. Under this program
each City would adopt an ordinance agreeing to make certain payments to the County Auditor
Controller in fiscal year 2011 -12 and annual payments each fiscal year thereafter. Assembly
Bill lx 26 indicates that the City "may use any available funds not otherwise obligated for other
uses" to make this payment. The City of Lake Elsinore intends to use available monies of its
redevelopment agency for this purpose. The amounts to be paid after fiscal year 2012 -13 have yet
to be determined by the state legislature.
Assembly Bill lx 26 directs the State Controller of the State of California to review the propriety
of any transfers of assets between redevelopment agencies and other public bodies that occurred
after January 1, 2011. If the public body that received such transfers is not contractually
committed to a third party for the expenditure or encumbrance of those assets, the State Controller
is required to order the available assets to be transferred to the public body designated as the
successor agency by Assembly Bill 1 x 26.
In the event that Assembly Bill lx 26 is upheld, the interagency receivable recognized by funds of
the City that had previously loaned or advanced funds to the redevelopment agency may become
uncollectible resulting in a loss recognized by such funds. The City might additionally be impacted
if reimbursements previously paid by the redevelopment agency to the City for shared
administrative services are reduced or eliminated.
The League of California Cities and the California Redevelopment Association (CRA) filed a
lawsuit on July 18, 2011 on behalf of cities, counties and redevelopment agencies petitioning the
California Supreme Court to overturn Assembly Bills lx 26 and 27 on the grounds that these bills
violate the California Constitution. On August 11, 2011, the California Supreme Court issued a
stay of all of Assembly Bill Ix 27 and most of Assembly Bill lx 26. The California Supreme
Court stated in its order that "the briefing schedule is designed to facilitate oral argument as early
as possible in 2011, and a decision before January 15, 2012''. A second order issued by the
California Supreme Court on August 17, 2011 indicated that certain provisions of Assembly
Bills lx 26 and 27 were still in effect and not affected by its previous stay, including requirements
to file an appeal of the determination of the community remittance payment by August 15, the
requirement to adopt an Enforceable Obligations Payment Schedule (FOPS) by August 29, 2011,
and the requirement to prepare a preliminary draft of the initial Recognized Obligation Payment
Schedule (ROPS) by September 30, 2011.

15. CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED):
Recent Changes in Legislation Affecting California Redevelopment Agencies (Continued)
Because the stay provide by Assembly Bill lx 26 only affects enforcement, each agency must
adopt an EOPS and draft ROPS prior to September 30, as required by the statute. Enforceable
obligations include bonds, loans and payments required by the federal or State government; legally
enforceable payments required in connection with agency employees such as pension payments
and unemployment payments, judgments or settlement; legally binding and enforceable agreements
or contracts, and contracts or agreements necessary for the continued administration or operation of
the agency that are permitted for purposes set forth in Assembly Bill lx 26.
On August 23, 2011, City Ordinance No. 2011 -1293 was adopted, indicating that the City will
comply with the Voluntary Alternative Redevelopment Program in order to permit the continued
existence and operation of the Agency, in the event Assembly Bills Ix 26 and/or 27 are upheld as
constitutional. The initial payment by the City is $7.318 million with on half due on
January 15, 2012 and the other half due May 15, 2012. The amounts to be paid after fiscal
year 2012 -13 have yet to be determined by the State Legislature. The semi - annual payments will
be due on January 15 and May 15 of each year and would increase or decrease with changes in tax
increment. Additionally, an increased amount would be due to schools if any "new debt" is
incurred. Assembly Bill Ix 27 allows a one -year reprieve on the agency s obligation to contribute
20% of tax increment to the low and moderate income housing fund so as to pen-nit the Agency to
assemble sufficient funds to make its initial payments. Failure to make these payments would
require agencies to be tenninated under the provisions of Assembly Bill lx 26.
On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court rendered an opinion upholding Assembly
Bill l x 26 and invalidating Assembly Bill 1 x 27. The impact of this decision is not reflected in the
accompanying financial statements.

NOTE TO REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
June 30, 2011
1. BUDGETS AND BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING:
The Agency follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial
statements:
1) In May, the City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed operating budget for the
fiscal year commencing July 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and
estimated revenues and other means of financing.
2) Public hearings are conducted at City Council meetings to obtain public input.
3) Prior to July 1, the budget is adopted by Council action.
4) The City Manager is authorized to transfer funds appropriated with respect to those
classifications designated as other services and material and supplies within the same
department. The City Manager may transfer appropriated funds from any classification within
other expenditure categories to the capital outlay classification within the same department
only. For budgeting purposes, all Special Revenue and Capital Projects budgeted funds are
considered a single department. Revenues are budgeted on a line item basis.
5) The legal level of budgetary control is maintained at the departmental level. Formal budgetary
integration is employed as a management control device during the year for the Special
Revenue Fund types to assist in controlling expenditures and enforcing revenue provisions.
Capital Projects Fund types are budgeted on a project by project basis. All appropriations lapse
at the end of the fiscal year, except for capital projects which are carried forward until such
time as the project is completed or terminated.
6) Budgets for the Special Revenue and Capital Projects Funds are adopted on a basis consistent
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Budgeted
amounts are as originally adopted and as further amended by the City Council. Budgetary data
is not presented for Debt Service Funds because the activity within this fund is controlled by
the debt agreements.
7) Budget information is presented for each major Special Revenue Fund. Capital Projects Funds
are not required to present budgetary comparison schedules and formal budgeting policies are
not required for the Debt Services Funds, therefore, the financial statements of these funds are
not included in the Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances -
Budget and Actual.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON COMPLIANCE
AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE
To the Board of Directors
Lake Elsinore Redevelopment Agency
Lake Elsinore, California
Compliance
We have audited the Lake Elsinore Redevelopment Agency's (the Agency) compliance with the
California Health and Safety Code as required by Section 33080.1 for the year ended June 30, 2011.
Compliance with the requirements referred to above is the responsibility of the Agency's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Agency's compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and Guidelines for
Compliance Audits of California Redevelopment Agencies, June 2011, issued by the State Controller
and as interpreted in the Auditing Procedures for Accomplishing Compliance Audits of California
Redevelopment Agencies, August 2011, issued by the Governmental Accounting and Auditing
Committee of the California Society of Certified Public Accountants.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to above that could have a material
effect on the Agency has occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the
Agency's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the Agency's compliance with the requirements
referred to in the first paragraph.

Compliance (Continued)
As described below, the Agency did not comply with the California Health and Safety Code as
required by Section 333080.1. Compliance with such requirements is necessary, in our opinion, for the
Agency to comply with the requirements referred to above.
The Agency did not include with its annual report, due to the legislative body within six
months of the end of the fiscal year, the following items:
A fiscal statement for the previous fiscal year Health and Safety Code
Section 33080.5.
A description of the Agency's activities in the previous fiscal year affecting
housing and displacement Health and Safety Code Sections 33080.4
and 3' )080.7.
A list of, and status report on, all loans that are $50,000 or more, that in the
previous fiscal year were in default, or not in compliance with the terms of the
loan.
Management's Responses:
1. Previous year fiscal statement.
The guidelines for Compliance Audits of California Redevelopment Agencies issued by the
State controller's office, is dated June 2011. The previous year report issued to the State
Controller's officers was done on December 30, 2010. Management was not aware at the
time the report was issued of the requirement to prepare a fiscal statement. In the current
year report, a fiscal statement will be included.
2. Description of Agency's activities in the previous year affecting housing and displacement.
The Agency will include the required information requested in the current year report.
3. A list of and status report on, all loans that are $50,000 or more in default in the previous
fiscal year.
The guidelines for Compliance Audits of California Redevelopment Agencies issued by the
State controller's office, was dated June 2011. The previous year report issued to the State
Controller's officers was done on December 30, 2010. Management was not aware at the
time the report was issued of the requirement to include a list of and status report on, all
loans that are $50.000 or more that were in default. There were no loans in default in the
previous year or in the current year. In the current year report, a report stating the status
will be included.
In our opinion, except for the noncompliance described in the preceding paragraph, the Agency
complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred to above that are
applicable for the year ended June, 30, 2011.
.:
Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of the Agency is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control
over compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our
audit, we considered the Agency's internal control over compliance to determine the auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not
express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Agency's internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control does
not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to
prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal
control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal control over
compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a compliance
requirement will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might
be deficiencies, significant deficiencies, or material weaknesses in internal control over compliance.
We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material
weaknesses, as defined above.
The Agency's responses to the noncompliance identified in our audit are described above. We did not
audit the Agency's responses, and accordingly we express no opinion on the responses.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Agency Members and management of
the Lake Elsinore Redevelopment Agency and the State Controller's Office, Division of Accounting
and Reporting and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specific
parties.
