To the Citizens of Cupertino,Honorable Mayor,
Members of the City Council, and City Manager
It is our pleasure to submit the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report(CAFR)for the City of Cupertino
(the City) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. The report is prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) set by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
The report presents City information on an entity-wide basis and on a more detailed fund level basis. The
fund-level reports emphasize the City's major funds. A Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A)
presents a comparative analysis of current and prior year results,changes in financial position,a comparison
of actual versus budget, financial highlights, trends, and disclosure of any known significant events or
decisions that affect the financial condition of the City. This transmittal letter is designed to complement
the MD&A and should therefore be read in conjunction with it. The MD&A is required supplementary
information and is found in the Financial Section of the CAFR.
The accuracy of the data presented and the completeness and fairness of the presentations, including all
disclosures,are the responsibility of the management of the City. To provide a reasonable basis for making
these representations, management has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is
designed to protect the City's assets and provide sufficient,reliable information for the proper preparation
of these financial statements. We believe the data is accurate in all material respects and is presented in a
manner that fairly sets forth the City's financial position. Furthermore, we believe that all disclosures
necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the City's financial activity have been included.
REPORTING ENTITY
This CAFR includes all component units and funds of the City. It reports all activities for which the City
is considered to be financially accountable. The general governmental funds support a full range of
services, including law enforcement, community development, recreation, public works, public and
environmental affairs,and general administration. Enterprise funds account for recreation and solid waste
operations supported by user fees. This financial report incorporates data for the City of Cupertino and its
component unit,the Cupertino Public Facilities Corporation.
The City operates under a Council-City Manager form of government. There are five council members,
including the Mayor, who serve staggered four-year terms. The City Council appoints the City Manager
who is responsible for the daily administration of City affairs. The City Council also appoints the City
Attorney and the City Treasurer. All other employees are appointed by the City Manager.
iii.
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
The City of Cupertino is located in Santa Clara County at the southern end of the San Francisco Bay
Peninsula. The City is comprised of 13-square miles and is bordered by the cities of San Jose, Saratoga,
Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, and Los Altos. It has a residential population of 63,344 (based on 2019 Claritas
estimated data).
Situated at the west end of Silicon Valley, Cupertino has earned the reputation of a balanced community
with a healthy climate for business and well-maintained residential neighborhoods, community parks and
public facilities. The excellent reputation of Cupertino's schools is a major attraction for families wishing
to settle in close proximity to high paying jobs in Silicon Valley. The City recognizes the importance of
quality school facilities and programs to all Cupertino residents, and works in partnership with the schools
in many programs affecting education and youth. National surveys rank the City high in education levels,
average household incomes,and registered patent numbers,as well as one of the best cities in which to live
and raise a family.
Cupertino is the corporate headquarters of several notable companies including Apple Inc., Seagate
Technology, CRC Health, DURECT, Mirapath, Bromium, and SugarCRM Inc., and home to many other
well-known firms, such as Altia Systems, Cinarra, Pepperdata, Panasonic Ventures, and Ducati North
America. Other major employers include DeAnza College, one of the largest single-campus community
colleges in the country,the Fremont Union High School District, and Cupertino Union School District.
Cupertino is excited to have a number of new mixed-use development providing more retail and dining
options,as well as providing additional housing opportunities to meet the needs of the growing community.
The Main Street Cupertino and Nineteen800 mixed-use developments have created a vibrant downtown
area for Cupertino,offering a large selection of restaurants and retailers,including Alexander's Steakhouse,
Eureka!, Pacific Catch, Rootstock Wine Bar, Oren's Hummus, Lazy Dog, Chef Hung, Philz Coffee,
HaiDiLao Hot Pot Restaurant, Pressed Juicery, Orangetheory, 85 Degree Bakery, Target Express, Steins
Beer Garden, Kula Sushi, Vitality Bowls, Doppio Zero, Koja Kitchen, and Somi Somi. Housing, office,
and a new Residence Inn by Marriott are available to support the thriving area. Benihana, Bowlmore, and
Ice Center Cupertino also serve as anchors to the area.
The construction of new retail and commercial development strengthens existing popular venues in
Cupertino,including The Marketplace.The Marketplace has a variety of stores and restaurants popular with
students, families, and working professionals. They include Daiso, Marukai Groceries, Super Cue, La
Patisserie Bakery, Beard Papa's, Legend's Pizza, Galpao Gaucho, Merlion Restaurant, Icicles, Garlic
Mediterranean Grill,Rori Rice,and Erik's DeliCaf6.
Cupertino Village is undergoing renovations to upgrade existing buildings, construct new buildings,
parking,and open-courtyard space.The shopping center is home to 99 Ranch Market, Starbucks,JSJ Street
Kitchen, Creamistry,MOD Pizza, Ten Ren Tea, Fantasia Coffee & Tea, Happy Lemon, Joy Luck Palace,
Kee Wah Bakery,Duke of Edinburgh, and many other restaurants,bakeries, and shops.
Cupertino features many other retail opportunities, including TJ Maxx and Home Goods, Whole Foods,
Stein Mart, Pet Club, Sleep Number, Target, and over 180 restaurants to serve residents and the local
workforce.There are now seven hotels providing over 1,000 rooms,to serve the area: The Aloft Cupertino,
Cupertino Hotel, Hilton Garden Inn, Juniper Hotel operated by Curio, Marriott Courtyard, the Residence
Inn by Marriott, and the newest addition is the Hyatt House.
iv.
The redevelopment of the Homestead Square Shopping Center, located at Homestead Road and De Anza
Boulevard, includes a 24-hour Safeway, Ulta Beauty, Ross Stores, Stein Mart, Pet Club, Michael's, Rite
Aid,FedEx Kinko's and numerous restaurants,such as Fish's Wild,Pho Hoa Noodle Soup,Yayoi Teishoku
Japanese Restaurant, Starbucks, and Chipotle.
Apple completed construction of its new corporate campus,Apple Park,which includes approximately 2.8
million square feet of office and R&D space north of Highway 280 between Wolfe Road and Tantau
Avenue. A state of the art Visitors Center, Observation Deck, flagship retail store and cafe are open to the
public seven days a week.
According to the 2019-2020 Assessor's Annual Report for Santa Clara County,Cupertino's net assessment
roll growth increased nearly$831 million, or 3.3%, from the prior year. Approximately$470 million and
$46 million of the increase was attributable to changes in ownership for single family housing and
multifamily housing, respectively. Approximately $58 million and $19 million of the increase was
attributable to changes in new construction for single family housing and multifamily housing,respectively.
Additionally, commercial and industrial increased by$20.9 million, or 0.3%, and $56.9 million, or 7.6%,
respectively.
The City's sales tax revenues are generated from five principal economic categories: business-to-business
67.0%(includes electronic equipment and software manufacturers and distributors), state and county pools
17%,restaurants and hotels 6%,general retail 4%, and fuel and service stations 3%.
Our two largest sales tax payers in the business-to-business category represent a large part of that sector
and therefore can significantly affect sales tax trends. The top tax payer's corporate and business
technology spending has driven growth in this sector. Sales tax activity has increased across most sectors
with a decrease primarily in construction. This decrease is attributed to the winding down of construction
projects in the City, particularly, the Apple Park campus development. Given these trends, the City's FY
2019-20 sales tax revenue is projected to show a more modest increase going forward.

FY 2009-10 showed a significant decline due to Hewlett Packard's move from Cupertino. Continued
economic growth driven primarily by the business to business sector continued through FY 2014-15 until
a slight $400,000 decline in FY 2015-16 due to a one-time clean up payment from the previous year
received in FY 2016-17. FY 2016-17 increased significantly with a $3.5 million "triple-flip" close-out
payment. There was a modest decrease in FY 2017-18 which was again attributable to the one-time"triple-
flip" close-out payment from FY 2016-17 that was not received in FY 2017-18. Despite the fluctuation,
the sales tax base experienced strong growth.FY 2018-19 experienced a slight decrease due to the tapering
V.
of localized sales tax dollars from construction and completion of Apple Campus 2 which further indicates
a return to normalcy in respect to previous years. Additionally, the City received a one-time quarterly
clean-up payment in FY 2017-18 of$1.6 million that contributed to the comparative decrease in FY 2018-
19.
With the economic recovery and easing of credit,commercial development activity picked up considerably
in 2012-13 and 2013-14 led by plan reviews of the new Apple Campus 2. Plans for the redevelopment of
the Marina shopping center into a mixed-use project, Marina Plaza, was approved in 2016. This project
will include 23,000 SF of retail and restaurant use, a 122-room boutique hotel, and 188 residential units
including 16 below market rate units. Construction of a five story, 148-room Hyatt House hotel was
completed in April 2019 and includes a full-service restaurant and meeting rooms.
Through the City's new General Plan Amendment (GPA) Authorization Process applications for two
development projects were authorized by City Council in August 2017: Cupertino Hotel and Cupertino
Village Boutique Hotel. Proposed room counts are 156 and 185 respectively.
The City's pension and retiree medical unfunded actuarial accrued liabilities are discussed in the Notes to
the Basic Financial Statements. The City must pay CalPERS, the state's government pension system,
annually to reduce its long-term liability for pensions. Cupertino's pension actuarial valuation report of
June 30, 2018 reported a pension unfunded accrued liability of $47.5 million with annual payments to
Ca1PERS of 29.8% and 28.6% of payroll for 2020-21 and 2019-20, respectively, with ongoing increases
after that because of actuarial assumption changes. To address long-term rising costs, Cupertino and state
law has reduced pension benefits for new hires and increased employee contributions. As of the June 30,
2019 GASB 74/75 report, the City has a retiree medical unfunded liability of($1,145,000) with annual
payments to a retiree health plan trust at(5.7%)of payroll.
In fiscal year 2017-18, the City Council approved the establishment of a Section 115 trust as part of a
pension rate stabilization program. An initial investment of $8,000,000 was made in FY 2018-19 and
additional on-going contributions to the trust will be appropriated on an annual basis.
Because the City contracts out police services to the County Sheriff and because fire protection is handled
by a special district,the City avoids the high pension,capital,and operating costs of a City-operated public
safety function. The City caps its contributions to employee health insurance premiums that benefit both
the City and employees. A build-up of operating reserves from strong revenue years, such as 2013-14,
along with a traditional under-spending of budgets, enables the City to withstand weak revenue years that
occur periodically, such as in 2009-10.
ECONOMIC INITIATIVES
With the expanded Apple presence, the City's revenue base will remain concentrated among its top
companies and top economic sector,the volatile business-to-business area. Past recessions and the historic
departure of a major tax provider,Hewlett-Packard, demonstrates the need for diversification of the City's
revenue base and a long-term balance of revenues and expenditures. The City desires other revenues to
mitigate the fluctuating nature of sales taxes, hotel taxes,user fees, and state grabs of local taxes in times
of budget distress.
Legislation raising the City's property tax share, the update of the utility user tax, the increase in the
transient occupancy tax, and refinancing of the City's debt are past successes to help diversify and balance
revenues and expenditures. The City Council work program underway in 2018-2019 describes economic
development and administrative initiatives to further increase the City's property tax share; streamline City
web content and permitting for new businesses;continue sponsoring seminars and workshops for new small
vi.
businesses; increase coordination with the Chamber of Commerce and other regional business
organizations; strengthen shop local habits of residents and daytime visitors; and enhance business access
to City services.
ACCOUNTING AND BUDGETARY CONTROL
In developing and evaluating the City's accounting system, consideration is given to the adequacy of
internal accounting controls. The City's controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute,
assurance regarding the safeguarding of assets against losses from unauthorized use or disposition and the
reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability of assets.
The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the costs of a control should not exceed the benefits
likely to be derived and that the evaluation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by
management.
The City's budget is a detailed operating plan that identifies estimated costs and results in relation to
estimated revenues. The budget includes 1) the programs,projects, services and activities to be provided
during the fiscal year; 2) estimated revenue and fund balance available to finance the operating plan; and
3) the estimated spending requirements of the operating plan. The budget represents a process through
which policy decisions are made,implemented and controlled.
INDEPENDENT AUDIT
City ordinance requires an annual audit of the financial records by an independent certified public
accounting firm selected by the City Council and its audit committee. Crowe LLP audited the City's Basic
Financial Statements, and their opinion thereon is included in the Financial Section of this report.
FRAUD INVESTIGATION
On September 5,2018 the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office arrested former City of Cupertino employee
Jennifer"Yuen-Cheng" Chang, Senior Accountant, for her role in the embezzlement of public funds. It is
believed that Ms. Chang issued and cashed numerous fraudulent checks between 2000 and 2014 for a total
of$791,494.
The scheme ended in September 2014 right before the implementation of an upgraded financial system in
December 2014 that tightened internal controls. Ms. Chang,who was hired by the City in 1997, retired in
July 2015.
The checks were uncovered earlier this year by staff during a multi-year, detailed review of several
accounts—including payroll,bank reconciliations, and deposits—which began after the implementation of
the new financial system in fiscal year 2014-2015.The checks were found debited against a liability account
and deemed suspicious due to their nature, size, and lack of supporting documentation.
The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office submitted its case to the Santa Clara County District Attorney's
Office for the issuance of a warrant for Ms. Chang. The California Attorney General has brought forward
68 criminal charges against Ms. Chang. The City of Cupertino is seeking full restitution from Ms. Chang
through upcoming criminal and civil proceedings.
At the Preliminary Hearing on December 10, 2019, Judge Pennypacker ruled that Ms. Chang will have to
stand trial on 53 felony counts. The counts include Grand Theft and Computer Intrusion for the period
September 28,2000 to September 5,2014,and Embezzlement for the period July 22,2011 to September 5,
2014. Because Ms. Chang's bank does not save documents from prior to 2011,the State cannot prove an
vii.
element of the crime of embezzlement. Currently, the Judge set the case for an arraignment for further
decision. It is the City's position to support prosecution to the fullest extent of the law, including full
restitution and jail time if criminal liability is found.
Among other internal controls maintained by the City over its financial records,in addition to the upgraded
financial system in December 2014 that tightened internal controls,the City also hired additional accounting
staff to enhance segregation of duties as well as internal audit function that has been approved for
implementation in fiscal year 2019-20.
CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Cupertino for its CAFR for
the year ended June 30,2018. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement,a government unit must
publish an easily readable and efficiently organized CAFR. This report must satisfy both GAAP and
applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that the current report
continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program's requirements.
Respectfully submitted,

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Cupertino, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities,each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Cupertino,California
(City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2019, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America;this includes the
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these 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 financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements.The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment
of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal
control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinions.
(Continued)
1.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund,
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City, as of June 30, 2019, and the respective changes
in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof and the respective budgetary comparison for
the General Fund, the Transportation Special Revenue Fund, and the Housing Development Special
Revenue Fund for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's
discussion and analysis, and the required supplementary information section on pages <> and <> be
presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic
financial statements, is required by Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an
essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational,
economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary
information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America,
which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing
the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial
statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements.We do not
express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not
provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City's basic financial statements. The introductory section, other supplementary information
section, statistical section and community profile are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are
not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The other supplementary information section is the responsibility of management and was derived from
and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial
statements. Such 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 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 other
supplementary section is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements
as a whole.
The introductory section, statistical section and community profile has not been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an
opinion or provide any assurance on them.
(Continued)
2.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 6, 2020
on our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance
with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The

Management's Discussion and Analysis(Unaudited)
For the Year Ended June 30,2019
This section describes the City of Cupertino's financial performance for the year. Readers are
encouraged to consider the following information in conjunction with the accompanying Transmittal
Letter and Basic Financial Statements.
2018-19 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
• The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows
of resources at the close of the fiscal year 2019 by $275.7 million (net position). Of this amount,
$57.9 million represents unrestricted net position, which may be used to meet the City's ongoing
obligations to citizens and creditors.
• City revenues have decreased slightly in 2018-19 with base governmental revenues showing a $0.1
million decrease, or 0.1%, over 2017-18. The primary fluctuations include a decrease in total cost
allocation charges and operating grants and contributions that were offset with increases in general
revenues. According to the 2019-2020 Assessor's Annual Report for Santa Clara County,
Cupertino's net assessment roll growth increased nearly $831 million, or 3.3%, from the prior year.
Approximately$470 million and$46 million of the increase was attributable to changes in ownership
for single family housing and multifamily housing, respectively. Approximately $58 million and
$19 million of the increase was attributable to changes in new construction for single family housing
and multifamily housing, respectively. Although sales tax has historically grown year over year,the
City experienced a decrease of approximately$1.3 million, or 4.8% over the previous year. This is
primarily due to the winding down of construction at Apple Park as well as a "cleanup" payment
received in fiscal year 2017-18 that was not received in FY 2018-19. Overall, the City experienced
relatively minor declines over the previous fiscal year in business and industry as well as autos and
transportation sectors; however, saw continued growth in all other sectors. With the opening of the
Marriott and Hyatt House hotels, transient occupancy tax experienced significant growth of $2.1
million, or 30.7%, over the previous fiscal year.
• The City continued to make substantial investment into capital projects dedicated to street and
transportation improvements, storm drain improvements, and maintenance of and improvements to
City facilities, resulting in an increase in net capital assets of$860,000, after depreciation.
• The City's change in net position was $17.4 million for governmental activities and$15.8 million in
total, reflecting the continued growth of revenues and modest departmental spending.
• The City's Net Pension Liability for June 30, 2019, was $40.9 million, down$0.3 million from June
30, 2018, or 0.6%. The Plan Fiduciary Net Position as a Percentage of the Total Pension Liability
for the City's pension plan with Ca1PERS went from 67.8%to 69.6%. During fiscal year 2018-19,
the City Council approved an $8.0 million contribution to the City's recently established pension
rate stabilization program(Section 115 Trust). Annual contributions to this trust will continue on an
annual basis and as part of the City's budget process. In accordance with guidance under GASB
67/68,the assets in the Section 115 Trust are reported as restricted cash and investments in the City's
General Fund. While the Section 115 Trust qualifies as a"trust,"the assets in the Section 115 Trust
are not used to directly pay benefits to beneficiaries; rather, they are used to pay Ca1PERS via the
CERBT Trust and as a result, the activities are not required to be reported in a fiduciary fund.
• Business-type activities contributed$6.7 million to citywide revenues totaling$102.6 million,while
the same activities contributed over$8.3 million to citywide expenses of$86.7 million.
• The City implemented the provisions of GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial
Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions, during the fiscal year 2017-18. This
statement requires governments to report a liability on the face of the financial statements for the
OPEB provided by the City. As of June 30,2019,the City reported a Net OPEB Asset of$1,145,000
and Deferred Inflows of Resources related to OPEB of$1.8 million. As of June 30, 2019,the City's
OPEB plan had a funding ratio or funded ratio or status of 104.0%.

CITY OF CUPERTINO
Management's Discussion and Analysis(Unaudited)
For the Year Ended June 30,2019
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City's Basic Financial
Statements. The Basic Financial Statements are comprised of the City-wide Financial Statements, the
Fund Financial Statements, and the notes to the Basic Financial Statements. These two sets of financial
statements provide two different views of the City's financial activities and positions.
The City-Wide Financial Statements provide a long-term view of the City's activities as a whole, and
comprise the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities. These statements are prepared
on the accrual basis, which means they measure the flow of all economic resources of the City as a
whole. The accrual basis of accounting is similar to the accounting used by most private sector
companies. The Statement of Net Position provides information about the financial position of the City
as a whole, including all its capital assets and long-term liabilities. The Statement of Activities provides
information about all the City's revenues and expenses, with the emphasis on measuring net revenues
and expenses for each of the City's programs. The Statement of Activities explains in detail the change
in net position for the year. Over time, increases or decreases in net position can be indicators of whether
the financial condition of the City is improving or deteriorating.
All of the City's activities are grouped into Governmental activities and Business-type activities, as
explained below. The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities provide a summary of
these two types of activities for the City as a whole.
• Governmental activities—Most of the City's basic services are considered to be governmental
activities, including public works, law enforcement, community development, recreation, public &
environmental affairs, and general administration. These services are supported by general City
revenues such as property, sales and other taxes, and by specific program revenues such as developer
fees and grants.
The City's governmental activities include the activities of a separate legal entity, the Cupertino
Public Facilities Corporation (the "Corporation"), because the City is considered to be financially
accountable for the Corporation. The City leases its major facilities from the Corporation, which
then uses the lease payments to pay principal and interest on the Corporation's long-term debt.
• Business-type activities—All of the City's enterprises are reported here, including solid waste
management and most of the City's recreational operations. Unlike governmental services, these
services are supported by charges paid by users based on the amount of services used.
The Fund Financial Statements report the City's operations in more detail than the City-wide Financial
Statements and focus primarily on the short-term activities of the City's General Fund and other major
funds. The Fund Financial Statements measure only current revenues, expenditures, assets, liabilities,
and deferred inflows and outflows of resources; they exclude long-term assets and liabilities. Because
these statements focus on the near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, such information
may be useful in evaluating near-term financing requirements.
The Fund Financial Statements provide detailed information about each of the City's most significant
funds, called major funds. Cupertino's Fund Financial Statements include governmental, enterprise and
internal service funds as discussed below. Each major fund is presented individually,with all non-major
funds summarized and presented only in a single column. Subordinate schedules, which follow the
Notes to Basic Financial Statements, present the detail of these non-major funds. Major funds present
the significant activities of the City for the year, and may change from year to year as a result of changes
in the pattern of City's activities and public interest. For example, the Capital Improvement Projects
Fund may or may not appear as a major fund depending on the volume of construction activity in a
certain year.

CITY OF CUPERTINO
Management's Discussion and Analysis(Unaudited)
For the Year Ended June 30,2019
Governmental Fund financial statements are prepared on the modified accrual basis,which means they
measure only current financial resources and uses. They present essentially the same functions reported
as governmental activities in the city-wide financial statements. However, capital assets and other long-
lived assets, along with long-term liabilities, are not presented in the Governmental Fund financial
statements. Reconciliations are provided to facilitate a comparison between governmental funds and
governmental activity statements to allow a better understanding of the long-term impact of the
government's near-term financial decisions.
Comparisons of budget and actual financial information are included in the Basic Financial Statements
for the General Fund and other major Special Revenue Funds. For other nonmajor funds, budgetary
comparison schedules for these funds are included in this document as supplemental information only.
Enterprise and Internal Service Fund financial statements are prepared on the full accrual basis and
include current and long-term assets and liabilities and deferred outflows and inflows of resources.
Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the City-
wide Financial Statements, and in more detail in the Fund Financial Statements.
Since the City's Internal Service funds provide goods and services only to the City's governmental and
business-type activities,their activities are reported only in total at the fund level. Internal Service funds
may not be major funds because their revenues are derived from other City funds. These revenues are
eliminated in the City-wide financial statements and any related profits or losses are returned to the
activities which created them, along with any residual net position of the Internal Service funds. For this
City, internal service activities predominantly benefit governmental rather than business-type functions,
and are therefore included within governmental activities in the City-wide Financial Statements.
Fiduciary Fund financial statements are prepared on the full accrual basis and include current and long-
term assets and liabilities and deferred outflows and inflows of resources. Fiduciary funds are used to
account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds activities
are excluded from the City's government-wide financial statements because the City cannot use these
assets to finance its own operations.
The City maintains an OPEB Pension Trust Fund that is used to account for the assets and liabilities held
in trust for the retirees' post-employment health benefits.
The Notes to Basic Financial Statements provide important additional detail that is essential to a full
understanding of the data reported in the City-wide and Fund Financial Statements.
CITY-WIDE FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES
This analysis focuses on the net position and changes in net position of the City's Governmental
Activities (Tables 1 and 2) and Business-Type Activities (Tables 3 and 4) as presented in the City-wide
Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities.

The City's change in net position from governmental activities was $17,431,990. The following
significant changes within assets, liability, and net position categories occurred:
• The City made an$8 million contribution to its Section 115 Trust as part of the City's pension
rate stabilization program. Cash held by fiscal agents for debt service is also included in the
$12.4 million of restricted cash and investments. In accordance with guidance under GASB
67/68, the assets in the Section 115 Trust are reported as restricted cash and investments in
the City's General Fund. While the Section 115 Trust qualifies as a"trust,"the assets in the
Section 115 Trust are not used to directly pay benefits to beneficiaries; rather, they are used
to pay CaIPERS via the CERBT Trust and as a result, the activities are not required to be
reported in a fiduciary fund.
• Other assets increased by approximately$1.4 million, primarily due to the actuarily-derived
Net OPEB Asset of$1.1 million.
• Capital assets increased approximately$1.1 million. This consisted of continued significant
capital investment into capital projects dedicated to street and transportation improvements,
storm drain improvements, and maintenance of and improvements to City facilities that was
offset with current year depreciation expense.
• Other liabilities decreased by approximately $4 million, primarily due to a $3.5 million
decrease in deposit liability balance resulting from the completion and/or progression of

various projects such as Apple Campus 2. Additionally, accounts payable and accruals
decreased approximately $1 million due to timing and quantity of services rendered and
invoices received from one fiscal year to the next.
• Deferred Outflows Related to Pension decreased $1.9 million primarily due to actuarial
changes of assumptions. Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pension and OPEB
increased $358 thousand and $496 thousand, respectively, also due primarily to actuarial
changes of assumptions.

For the Year Ended June 30,2019
City-wide Governmental Activities Revenues
Table 2 shows that revenues from governmental activities decreased $0.1 million or 0% from last year,
finishing at $95.9 million. The decreases in functional program revenues are attributable to a gross
amount reduction in the City's cost allocation plan and operating grants and contributions. This decrease
was offset by increases and fluctuations in general revenues, namely, property tax, sales tax, transient
occupancy tax, and investment earnings as further discussed below.
Increases in the City's general revenues are attributable to a $2.2 million increase in property tax over
the prior year. According to the 2019-2020 Assessor's Annual Report for Santa Clara County,
Cupertino's net assessment roll growth increased nearly $831 million, or 3.3%, from the prior year.
Approximately $470 million and $46 million of the increase was attributable to changes in ownership
for single family housing and multifamily housing, respectively. Approximately $58 million and $19
million of the increase was attributable to changes in new construction for single family housing and
multifamily housing, respectively.
Sales tax experienced a decrease of$1.3 million, or 4.8%, over the prior year. primarily due to building
and construction decreases as expected from the completion of the Apple Campus in the first part of
2018 as well as a"cleanup"payment received in fiscal year 2017-18 that was not received in FY 2018-
19. Statewide,July 2019 marked ten years of continuous statewide economic growth which is the longest
period of U.S. economic expansion on record. However, analysts from a variety of economic segments
are reporting signs that we may be leveling off.
Transient occupancy tax has increased $2 million, or 30.7%, over the prior year resulting of the
Residence Inn by Marriott, which opened at Main Street in early 2018, and has continued to experience
growth in occupancy rates. The City's voluntary collection agreement with Airbnb which began in
August of 2018, continues to show growth. Staff estimate approximately$450,000 attributable to short-
term rental TOT revenues in fiscal year 2019-20. Lastly, the opening of the Hyatt House Hotel in April
2019 has contributed to growth in this revenue category.
Investment earnings saw an increase of$2.3 million, or 256%, over the prior year. This was due to the
City's portfolio's market yield increasing from 1.3% as of June 30, 2018 to 2.2% as of June 30, 2019.
Additionally,during fiscal year 2018-19,the City retained a third-party investment advisor to assist with
achieving higher maturity, duration, and market yield while maintaining the overall goal of safety,
liquidity, and returns.
Program revenues showed a decrease of $5.9 million, or 21%, and is primarily attributable to the
completion and winding down of significant construction and development projects resulting in a
decrease in fee revenues. Finally, charges for services experienced a significant gross decrease in cost
allocation plan charges across all funds and resulted in a decrease in revenues.
Operating grants and contributions decreased $2.3 million, or 47%, due to the City receiving a $1.8
million contribution from Apple for the City's 2016 Bicycle Implementation Plan in fiscal year 2017-18
that it did not received in fiscal year 2018-19.

CITY OF CUPERTINO
Management's Discussion and Analysis(Unaudited)
For the Year Ended June 30,2019
City-wide Governmental Activities Expenses
City-wide governmental activities expenses decreased by$3.7 million,or 5%. The City's cost allocation
plan created fluctuations from one department to the next and special project and capital outlay spending
fluctuated as well; however,base expenses remained relatively consistent over the prior year.
Change in Net Position
The City-wide governmental net position increase of $17.5 million was slightly up compared to the
increase of$14.0 million in 2017-18 and can be best explained by continued relative stabilization in
general revenues paired with consistent and conservative spending.
Business Type Activities
Business-type activities in the City-wide Financial Statements include the City's four enterprise funds.
Enterprise funds are used to account for recreational and solid waste management operations that are
financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises where the intent is that costs
of providing services and facilities to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered
primarily through user fees. The major proprietary funds section of this report provides more
information on business-type results.
As shown in Table 3 and Table 4, the business-type net position totaled$8.1 million at June 30, 2019, a
decrease of$1.6 million, or 16.5%, from the prior year with unrestricted net position decreasing $1.3
million and the net investment in capital assets decreasing by $279,000. Business-type activities
transferred in (net) $75,000, an increase of$182,000 over the prior year, which helped minimize the
decrease in net position. Few capital asset additions offset with $291,000 in depreciation expense
resulted in a net decrease of$279,000 over the prior year. Enterprise activities experienced an overall
slight decrease in assets due to the addition of an actuarially-determined Net OPEB Asset of$71,000 in
fiscal year 2018-2019 which offset decreases in the cash and cash equivalent classification. Liabilities
for business-type activities remained relatively consistent with prior year.
In Table 4, revenues for all business-type activities decreased $1.2 million and operating expenses
decreased by $777,000, primarily attributable to the restructuring of the City's waste recovery contract
which eliminated pass-through costs.

MAJOR GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
General Fund
General Fund Revenues
General Fund actual revenues of$88.8 million ended$11.9 million, or 15.5%, above the original budget
and $4.4 million, or 5.2%, above the final budget. Actual revenues were up $3.7 million or 4% when
compared to 2017-18 actuals. Table 5 displays the variations in actual revenues, while Table 6 shows
budgeted revenues compared to actuals.
Property taxes increased $2.9 million, or 13%, over the prior year due to continued roll-growth.
According to the 2019-2020 Assessor's Annual Report for Santa Clara County, Cupertino's net
assessment roll growth increased nearly$831 million, or 3.3%, from the prior year.
Sales tax decreased $1.3 million, or 5%, over the prior year due to the tapering of localized sales tax
dollars from construction and completion of Apple Campus 2 which further indicates a return to
normalcy in respect to previous years. Additionally, the City received a one-time quarterly clean-up
payment in FY 2017-18 of$1.6 million that contributed to the comparative decrease in FY 2018-19.
The City's two largest sales tax payers in the business-to-business category represent a large part of that
sector and therefore can significantly affect sales tax trends. The top tax payer's corporate and business
technology spending has driven growth in this sector. Overall, sales tax activity has increased across
most sectors with a decrease primarily in construction attributable to the winding down of construction
projects in the City,particularly, the Apple Campus 2 project.

CITY OF CUPERTINO
Management's Discussion and Analysis(Unaudited)
For the Year Ended June 30,2019
Transient occupancy tax increased$2.1, or 30.7%, due to the opening of the Residence Inn by Marriott
and Hyatt House hotels. Additionally, the City's voluntary collection agreement with Airbnb began to
bring in additional TOT dollars that contributed to the increase.
Charges for services showed a decline of$2.3 million, or 16%, over the prior year and due to a gross
reduction in cost allocation plan charges as well as decreased fee revenue from the winding down and
completion of Apple Campus 2.
Licenses and permits increased $1.3 million, or 49%, due to increased plan check and building permits.
Overall continued growth in the local economy as well as the annual increase in business license tax
rates also contributed to the increase.

General Fund Expenditures
Fiscal 2018-19 overall expenditures, at$63.0 million,were$2.2 million lower than last year. This result
came in 13% or $9.6 million under the final budget. Year-over-year and budget-versus-actual results
for General Fund programs are described below and in Tables 7 and 8.
Administration increased$1.4 million, or 28%, from 2017-18 and is primarily due to a reorganization of
the following Divisions: Community Outreach and Neighborhood Watch, Disaster Preparedness, and
Economic Development. These Divisions were previously budgeted in The Parks & Recreation and
Community Development Departments.
Law Enforcement was higher by approximately $746,000, or 6%, which was the automatic increase in
the existing contract with the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office triggered by increases in the lease and
Ca1PERS costs.
Innovation & Technology remained relatively consistent from 2017-18 to 2018-19. Some notable
special projects that commenced included, but were not limited to, the City's conference room upgrade,
live graphics system upgrade, hyperconverged storage expansion, and printer and wireless upgrades.
Administrative Services' expenditures decreased approximately $232,000, or 5%, over the prior year.
Despite adding two full-time employees in the Department, the overall decrease was primarily
16
CITY OF CUPERTINO
Management's Discussion and Analysis(Unaudited)
For the Year Ended June 30,2019
attributable to a reduction in contract service charges for the City's sales, property, and transient
occupancy tax collection, audit, and reporting services compared to the previous fiscal year.
Recreation and Community Services General Fund expenditures experienced a 4%increase, or$309,000,
across its programs. While the department's program expenditures remained relatively consistent with the
prior year,the majority of the increase is attributable to negotiated increases in compensation and benefits.
Community Development expenditures in the General Fund increased$189,000 or 2% due to salary and
benefit that were offset with decrease in special project spending; namely, the Vallco Specific Plan.
Public Works expenditures increased approximately$1.8 million or 12%. This is primarily represented
by an increase in compensation and benefits. While various divisions and programs fluctuated over the
prior year, the notable special projects and fluctuations include, but are not limited to, the building and
water system assessment and the Apple Campus 2 Traffic Mitigation Improvements.
Transfers out of the General Fund decreased from $24.1 million in 2017-18 to $19.4 million, with $5.8
million for capital projects in the Transportation Fund, $3.2 million for annual debt service, $8.0 million
for capital projects in the Capital Improvement Projects Fund, $811,000 to subsidize a state-mandated
enforcement program, and$1.6 million to internal service funds.

Capital Improvement Projects
The Capital Improvement Projects Capital Projects Fund carried a June 30, 2019, ending fund balance
of $33,009,760, up 14.2%, or $4.1 million from the beginning of the fiscal year. During fiscal year

related projects. The following capital projects incurred the highest expenditures: Sports Center Exterior
Upgrades, McClellan West Parking Lot Improvements, and 2016 Bike Plan Implementation.
MAJOR PROPRIETARY FUNDS
Resource Recovery
The City has a solid waste franchise agreement with Recology that shares collection, landfill disposal,
and recycling revenues and costs. This fund receives revenues from Recology with the funds going
toward landfill costs, regulatory fees, and staffing costs that the City incurs to manage its solid waste,
recycling, and household hazardous waste programs. This agreement was amended during the fiscal
year that significantly reduced the impact for landfill disposal and as a result, the fund experienced
decreases in both revenues and expenses. Total operating revenue decreased from $2.56 million last
year to $1.8 million this year, while expenses decreased by approximately $859,000. Net position
increased by approximately $171,000. The fund ended the year with a$5,485,694 net position.
Recreation Programs
This enterprise operates the Quinlan Community Center, Monta Vista Recreation Center, McClellan
Ranch, Creekside Park building,eight school sites, and various parks. While the economy and enhanced
marketing helped cultural events, youth and teen programs, sports, dance and fitness classes in generate
increasing revenues in recent years, fiscal year 2018-19 saw a slight decline. These programs generated
approximately$2.0 million in revenues that were 21%lower than last year. Ongoing program expenses
of approximately $2.9 million included full-time administrative and programming staff, part-time
activity leaders, and class instructors on contract. This resulted in a net operating loss of$869,000 as
compared to an operating loss of$700,000 a year ago. After the transfer, the fund ended up with a
decrease in net position of$868,937. The fund ended the year with a net position of$1,838,753.
Cupertino Sports Center
Tennis lesson,membership, fitness class and rent revenues of$2,349,000 decreased by$54,000 or 2.3%
over last year, remaining relatively stagnant over the previous year. In addition, expenses increased by
$402,000 or 15%, resulting in a net operating loss of$687,000. In 2017-18, net operating income was
($230,000). This current year's operating loss was primarily attributable to increases in contract
services. This fund's net position was $748,346 as of June 30, 2019.

NONMAJOR PROPRIETARY FUNDS
Blackberry Farm
City employees, with a teaching professional contractor, staff the City-owned Blackberry Farm golf
course and pro shop. Operating revenues decreased 8% in 2018-2019 from $346,000 to $317,000.
Operating expenses decreased by$11,000, or 1.6%,to $645,000 this year due to a gross decrease in cost
allocation plan charges. Other expense classification remained relatively consistent. Altogether, the
golf course's operating loss increased from $310,000 last year to $321,000 this year. After a transfer in
from the Capital Projects Fund of$75,000, net position decreased $246,000. As of June 30, 2019, this

STATEMENT OF NET POSITION AND STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities summarize the entire City's financial activities
and financial position. They are prepared on the same basis as is used by most businesses, which means
they include all the City's assets and all its liabilities, as well as all its revenues and expenses.This is known
as the full accrual basis-the effect of all the City's transactions is taken into account, regardless of whether
or when cash changes hands, but all material internal transactions between City funds have been
eliminated.
The Statement of Net Position reports the difference between the City's total assets and deferred outflows
and the City's total liabilities and deferred inflows, including all the City's capital assets and all its long term
debt.
The Statement of Net Position summarizes the financial position of all the City's Governmental Activities in
a single column,and the financial position of all the City's Business-Type Activities in a single column;these
columns are followed by a Total column which presents the financial position of the entire City.
The City's Governmental Activities include the activities of its General Fund, along with all its Special
Revenue, Capital Projects and Debt Service Funds. Since the City's Internal Service Funds service these
Funds, their activities are consolidated with Governmental Activities, after eliminating inter-fund
transactions and balances. The City's Business Type Activities include all of its Enterprise Fund activities.
The Statement of Activities reports increases and decreases in the City's net position. It is also prepared
on the full accrual basis, which means it includes all the City's revenues and all its expenses, regardless of
when cash changes hands. This differs from the "modified accrual" basis used in the Fund financial
statements, which reflect only current assets, current liabilities, available revenues and measurable
expenditures.
The format of the Statement of Activities presents the City's expenses first, listed by program, and follows
these with the expenses of its business-type activities. Program revenues, that are revenues which are
generated directly by these programs, are then deducted from program expenses to arrive at the net
expense of each governmental and business-type program. The City's general revenues are then listed in
the Governmental Activities or Business-type Activities column, as appropriate, and the Change in Net
Position is computed and reconciled with the Statement of Net Position.
Both these Statements include the financial activities of the City and the Cupertino Public Facilities
Corporation,which is a legally separate component unit of the City because it is controlled by and financially
accountable to the City.

June 30, 2019
Total fund balances reported on the governmental funds balance sheet $ 128,070,369
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net position are different
from those reported in the governmental funds because of the following:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not current assets or
financial resources and therefore are not reported in the governmental
funds. 192,287,856
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of
activities such as information technology, insurance, equipment
acquisition and maintenance, and certain employee benefits to
governmental funds. The assets and liabilities of the internal service
funds are therefore included in the governmental activities of the
statement of net position. 6,850,177
Certain receivables are not available to pay for current period
expenditures and therefore are deferred in the governmental funds. 3,712,120
The liabilities, deferred inflows of resources and deferred outflows of
resources are not related to the current period and therefore are not
reported in the governmental funds:
Long-term debt (29,300,000)

GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
RECONCILIATION OF NET CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES—
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
For the year ended June 30, 2019
The schedule below reconciles the net changes in fund balances reported on the governmental funds
statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances, which measures only changes in
current assets and current liabilities on the modified accrual basis, with the change in net position of
governmental activities reported in the statement of activities, which is prepared on the full accrual basis.
Total net changes in fund balances reported on the
governmental funds balance sheet $15,611,679
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities
are different from those reported in the governmental funds because of
the following:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in
the statement of activities, the cost of those assets are capitalized and
depreciated over their estimated useful lives, which is reported as
depreciation expense. Expenditures for capital assets reported as:
Capital outlay 8,864,425
Depreciation expense (7,356,610)
Net retirements (512,335)
Long term debt principal payments are reported as expenditures in the
governmental funds but are not reported as expenses in the statement
of activities. 2,220,000
The changes in the amounts below do not provide or require the use of
current financial resources and therefore are not reported as revenues
or expenditures in the governmental funds:
Compensated absences (710,535)
Net pension liability 232,344
Net OP EB asset 1,360,059
Pension-related deferred outflows of resources (1,793,234)
Pension-related deferred inflows of resources (333,889)
OPEB-related deferred inflows of resources (462,073)
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of
activities such as information technology, insurance, equipment
acquisition and maintenance, and certain employee benefits to
governmental funds. The portion of the net expense of these internal
service funds arising out of their transactions with governmental funds
is reported with governmental activities because they service those
activities. 312,159
Change in net position of governmental activities $17,431,990

CITY OF CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended June 30, 2019
NOTE 1 —SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reporting Entity: The City of Cupertino, California (the City) was incorporated on October 3, 1955, under
the laws of the State of California. The City operates under a Council - City Manager form of government
and provides services through the following departments: Administrative Services, Community
Development, City Manager, Parks and Recreation, Public and Environmental Affairs, and Public Works.
Fire services are provided by the Santa Clara County Fire District, and the City contracts with the Santa
Clara County Sheriff's Department for police services, and with Recology for garbage and recycling
services.
The accompanying basic financial statements include all funds and boards and commissions that are
controlled by the City Council. The basic financial statements include the City's blended component unit
entity for which the City is considered to be financially accountable. A blended component unit, although a
legally separate entity, is in substance, part of the City's operations and so data from this unit is combined
with the City.
Blended Component Unit: The Cupertino Public Facilities Corporation (the Corporation)was incorporated
in May 1986, under the Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation Law of the State of California. The Corporation
was organized as a nonprofit corporation solely for the purpose of assisting the City in the acquisition,
construction, and financing of public improvements which are of public benefit to the City. The Corporation,
after acquiring certain properties from the City, leases these back to the City. The lease money provides
the funds for the debt service for the Certificates of Participation issued by the Corporation to acquire the
properties. The Corporation does not issue separate financial statements, since it is reported separately in
the City's basic financial statements.
Fiduciary Component Unit: The City participates in the Public Agency Retirement System (PARS) Public
Agencies Post Retirement Health Care Plan Trust Program (PARS Trust), an agent-multiple employer
irrevocable trust established to fund other postemployment benefits. The PARS Trust functions for the
benefit of the employees. The City funds all PARS Trust costs based on actuarial valuations for its specific
portion of the PARS Trust as opposed to the PARS Trust as a whole.
Effective July 1, 2016, the City reported in its fiduciary fund financial statements the PARS Trust that
pertains to the City as well as OPEB benefit payments of the Plan initiated by the City but reimbursed to
the PARS Trust are required to be recognized under applicable standards due to a change in the reporting
entity. With the implementation of GASB Statement 74, Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit
Plans Other Than Pension Plans, the City reviewed the PARS Trust separately issued financial statements
and determined that inclusion of the City OPEB Plan component unit financial statements and related
disclosures as a City trust fund were necessary as omission would have been misleading.
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation: The City's basic financial statements
are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The
Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the acknowledged standard setting body for
establishing accounting and financial reporting standards followed by governmental entities in the United
States.
Government-wide Statements: The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities display
information about the primary government(the City)and its component units. These statements include the
financial activities of the overall City government and distinguish between the governmental and business-
type activities of the City. Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental
revenues, and other nonexchange transactions. Business-type activities are financed in whole or in part by
fees charged to external parties.

CITY OF CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended June 30, 2019
NOTE 1 —SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The Statement of Activities presents a comparison between expenses and program revenues for each
segment of the business-type activities of the City and for each function of the City's governmental activities.
Expenses include direct and indirect types. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with
a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Indirect expenses such
as depreciation, information technology, insurance and equipment replacement are included in expenses
for individual activities and functions. Program revenues include(a)charges paid by the recipients of goods
or services offered by the programs and (b) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the
operational or capital needs of a particular program. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues,
including taxes, are presented as general revenues. Program revenues and direct expenses related to
interfund services are included and indirect expenses funded by interfund transfers are excluded from the
Statement of Activities. The Statement of Net Position eliminates interfund balances between governmental
funds and interfund balances between proprietary funds.
Fund Financial Statements: The fund financial statements provide information about the City's funds,
including fiduciary funds and blended component units. Separate statements for each fund category —
governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary—are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on
major individual governmental and enterprise funds, each of which is displayed in a separate column. All
remaining governmental funds are aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds.
Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions
associated with the principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in which each party
receives and gives up essentially equal values. Nonoperating revenues, such as subsidies and investment
earnings, result from nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities.
Major Funds: The City's major governmental and enterprise funds are identified and presented separately
in the fund financial statements. All other funds, called nonmajor funds, are combined and reported in a
single column, regardless of their fund type.
Major funds are defined as funds,which have either assets(plus deferred outflows), liabilities(plus deferred
inflows), revenues or expenditures in excess of 10 percent of their fund-type total and five percent of the
aggregate total for both governmental funds and enterprise funds. The General Fund is always a major
fund. The City may select other funds it believes should be presented as major funds.
The City reported the following major governmental funds in the accompanying financial statements:
• The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial
resources except those that are required to be accounted for in another fund.
• The Transportation Special Revenue Fund accounts for the City's gas tax, vehicle registration fees
and grant revenues and expenditures related to the maintenance and construction of City streets.
All revenue in this fund is restricted exclusively for street and road purposes including related
engineering and administrative expenses. Management considers this fund qualitatively major and
has elected to present this fund as such, even if mathematically it does not qualify per applicable
GASB requirements.
• The Housing Development Special Revenue Fund accounts for the Federal Housing and
Community Development Grant Program activities administered through the County. Monies
collected from developers that mitigate the impact of housing needs are also included. Monies in
this fund are governed by the program's rules.

For the year ended June 30, 2019
NOTE 1 —SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
• The Public Facilities Corporation Debt Service Fund accounts for the payments of principal and
interest on certificates of participation issued to provide for the financing of City Hall, Library,Wilson
Park, Memorial Park, and other City facilities.
• Capital Improvement Projects Capital Projects Fund Accounts for activities related to the acquisition
or construction of major capital facilities.
The City reports the following enterprise funds as major funds in the accompanying financial statements:
• The Resources Recovery Fund accounts for activity related to the collection, disposal, and
recycling of solid waste. A private company has been issued an exclusive franchise to perform
these services.
• The Recreation Programs Fund accounts for activities of the City's community centers and park
facilities.
• The Cupertino Sports Center Fund accounts for activities of the City's sports center facilitiy.
The City also reports the following fund types:
• Internal Service Funds. These funds account for workers'compensation, management information
systems maintenance and replacement, equipment maintenance and replacement, retiree health
costs, accrued leave payouts, and long-term disability coverage which are provided to other
departments on a cost-reimbursement basis.
• Fiduciary Fund. The City's Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Trust fund is established in
accordance with GASB Statement No. 74 for the defined benefit OPEB plan administered though
trusts that meet the specified criteria.
Basis of Accounting: The government-wide, proprietary and fiduciary financial statements are reported
using the economic resources measurement focus and the full accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are
recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when
the related cash flows take place.
Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the
modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and
available.The City considers all revenues reported in the governmental funds to be available if the revenues
are collected within sixty days after year-end. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is
incurred, except for principal and interest on long-term debt which are recognized as expenditures to the
extent the City has provided financial resources to a debt service fund for payment of these liabilities that
mature early in the following year. General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in
governmental funds. Proceeds from long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as
other financing sources.
Unearned revenues are considered on a full accrual basis, while unavailable revenues are based on the
modified accrual measure.
Property taxes, transient occupancy taxes, utility taxes, franchise taxes, interest and special assessments
are susceptible to accrual. Other receipts and taxes are recognized as revenue when the cash is received.
Sales taxes collected and held by the state at year end on behalf of the City are also recognized as revenue.
Sales tax consultant payments which are contingent on revenues collected are netted against the related
revenues.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended June 30, 2019
NOTE 1 —SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Under the terms of grant agreements, the City may fund certain programs with a combination of cost
reimbursement grants, categorical block grants, and general revenue. The City's policy is to first apply
restricted grant resources to such programs, followed by general revenues if necessary. Grant revenues
are recognized after eligibility and billing occurs, but may be a deferred inflow if not received within sixty
days of year-end. Because of the cost-reimbursement and recognition nature of some grants, certain
capital project funds may carry deficit fund balances until billing and receipt of grants. The City may also
front the capital outlays with cash advances from other funds.
Non-exchange transactions, in which the City gives or receives value without directly receiving or giving
equal value in exchange, include property taxes, grants, entitlements, and donations. On the accrual basis,
revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied or assessed.
Revenue from grants is recognized as described above. Entitlement and donation revenues are recognized
when cash is received.
Budgetary Practices: The budget of the City is a detailed operating plan which identifies estimated costs
and results in relation to estimated revenues.The budget includes (1)the programs, projects, services and
activities to be provided during the fiscal year; (2)estimated revenue available to finance the operating plan;
and (3) the estimated spending requirements of the operating plan. The budget represents a process
through which policy decisions are made, implemented and controlled. The City prohibits expending funds
for which there is no legal appropriation. Operating appropriations lapse at fiscal year end.
In May of each year, the City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed budget for the fiscal year
beginning July 1. Public hearings on the proposed budget are held during the month of June and the
budgets for all fund types are legally adopted by Resolution prior to June 30. Original budget amounts are
presented on the accompanying budgetary statements include these legally adopted amounts.
The City's legal level of budgetary control is at the functional level for the general fund and at the fund level
for other funds. The City Manager is responsible for controlling the City's expenditures in accordance with
the adopted budget. The City Manager is authorized to administer and transfer appropriations between
budget accounts within the operating budget when in his opinion such transfers become necessary for
administrative purposes. Any revision which increases total appropriations must be approved by the City
Council. Requests for additional personnel or capital outlay also require the approval of the City Council.
Budgets for governmental funds are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting
principles. Budget information is presented for the general, special revenue and debt service funds only.
Capital projects funds are budgeted on a long-term project-by-project basis and, hence, budgets for these
funds are not presented in the basic financial statements.
During the fiscal year, expenditures exceeded appropriations as follows:
Excess of
Expenditures
Fund/Department Over Appropriations
Public Facilities Corporation Debt Service Fund $ 1,500
Cash and Investments: The City pools its cash resources, consisting of cash and investments, of all funds
for investment except for restricted funds generally held by an outside fiscal agent. Cash amounts are
reported net of outstanding warrants. Investments are stated at fair value, except for money market mutual
funds which are reported at amortized cost.

CITY OF CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended June 30, 2019
NOTE 1 —SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Capital Assets: Capital assets are recorded at cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed.
Donated capital assets are recorded at their estimated acquisition value on the date donated. Public
domain (infrastructure) capital assets consisting of roads, bridges, curbs, gutters, medians, sidewalks,
drainage and lighting systems have been capitalized and depreciated. Capital assets are defined as assets
with an initial individual cost of more than $5,000 for general capital assets and $100,000 for intangible
assets.
Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:
Buildings 15—25 years
Improvements 10— 15 years
Vehicles 4— 10 years
Street equipment 3—20 years
Water equipment 3—50 years
Office equipment 3—5 years
Road, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, medians and bridges 30—40 years
Streetlights 20 years
Storm drain structure and mains 40 years
Traffic signals 20 years
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. For
enterprise funds, interest incurred during the construction phase is reflected in the capitalized value of the
asset constructed, net of interest earned on the invested proceeds over the same period. Some capital
assets may be acquired using federal and state grant funds, or they may be contributed by developers or
other governments. These contributions are accounted for as revenues at the time the capital assets are
contributed.
Claims and Judgment Payable: Claims and judgments payable are accrued when the liability is incurred
and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Claims and judgments payable are recorded in an internal
service fund for workers' compensation and long-term disability, and other claims and judgments are
recorded in the General Fund or enterprise funds, as appropriate.
Compensated Absences: Compensated absences comprise vested accumulated vacation and sick leave.
The City's liability for compensated absences is recorded in governmental or business-type activities as
appropriate. The liability for compensated absences is determined annually. For all governmental funds,
amounts expected to be "permanently liquidated," such as what is due to be paid because of a realized
employment action, are recorded as fund liabilities; the long-term portion is recorded in the Statement of
Net Position.
Compensated absences are liquidated by the fund that has recorded the liability. The long-term portion of
governmental activities compensated absences are liquidated primarily by the General Fund, using the
Compensated Absences and Long-Term Disability internal service fund to account for termination payouts.

Non-current portion $ 4,234,115 $ 309,664 $ 4,543,779
Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources: In addition to assets,the statement of financial position or balance
sheet reports a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement
element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position or fund balance that
applies to a future period(s)and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources(expense/expenditure)
until then. The City reports differences between expected and actual experience, changes in pension and
OPEB assumptions, loss on pension and OPEB investments, and contributions made subsequent to the
measurement date as well. Differences between expected and actual experience and changes in pension
and OPEB plan assumptions are deferred and amortized over the average of the expected remaining
service lives of employees who are provided with benefits through the pension and OPEB plans. Loss on
pension and OPEB investments are deferred and amortized over five years. Employer contributions made
subsequent to the measurement date and change in proportionate share are deferred and recognized as a
reduction of the net pension and net OPEB liability in the subsequent reporting year.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position or balance sheet reports a separate section for
deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources,
represents an acquisition of net position or fund balance that applies to a future period(s)and so will not be
recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. Under the accrual basis of accounting
differences between expected and actual experience are deferred and amortized over the average of the
expected remaining service lives of all employees who are provided with benefits through the pension and
OPEB plans.
Property Tax Calendar: All property taxes are levied and collected by the County of Santa Clara. Secured
taxes are levied on July 1, are due in two installments on November 1 and February 1 and become
delinquent after December 10 and April 10. Unsecured taxes are levied on July 1 and become delinquent
on August 31. The lien date for secured and unsecured property taxes is January 1.
The City, in fiscal year 1993-94, adopted an alternative method of property tax distribution (the "Teeter
Plan"). Under this method, the City receives 100 percent of its secured property tax levied in exchange for
foregoing any interest and penalties collected on delinquent taxes. The City receives remittances as a
series of advances made by the County during the year.
Interfund Transactions: Transactions constituting reimbursements to a fund for expenditures/expenses
initially made from it that are properly applicable to another fund, are recorded as expenditures/expenses
in the reimbursing fund and as reductions of expenditures/expenses in the fund that is reimbursed.

For the year ended June 30, 2019
NOTE 1 —SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Statement of Cash Flows: For purposes of reporting cash flows for the City's proprietary funds, pooled
cash and investments are considered cash equivalents as the proprietary funds can access pooled cash
and investments in a manner similar to a demand deposit account.
Prepaid Items: Prepaid items are reported under the consumption method, which recognizes the
expenditures/expense in the period associated with the service rendered or goods consumed.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Implementation of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Pronouncements: Management
adopted the provisions of the following Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statements,
which became effective during the year ended June 30, 2018.
In November 2016, the GASB issued Statement 83, Certain Asset Retirement Obligations. This Statement
addresses accounting and financial reporting for certain asset retirement obligations (AROs) and
establishes criteria for determining the timing and pattern of recognition of a liability and a corresponding
deferred outflow of resources for AROs. This Statement is effective for the City's fiscal year ended June 30,
2019. This statement will have no material impact on the City's financial statements.
In April 2018, the GASB issued Statement No. 88, Certain Disclosures Related to Debt, including Direct
Borrowings and Direct Placements. The primary objective of this Statement is to improve the information
that is disclosed in notes to government financial statements related to debt, including direct borrowings
and direct placements. It clarifies which liabilities governments should include when disclosing information
related to debt. It also defines debt for purposes of disclosure in notes to financial statements as a liability
that arises from a contractual obligation to pay cash (or other assets that may be used in lieu of cash) in
one or more payments to settle an amount that is fixed at the date the contractual obligation is established.
This Statement is effective for the City's fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. This statement will have no
material impact on the City's financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements: Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid
to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The
City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally
accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques
used to measure fair value into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair
value are observable in the market:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 inputs are inputs—other than quoted prices included within level 1 —that are observable
for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
If the fair value of an asset or liability is measured using inputs from more than one level of the fair value
hierarchy, the measurement is considered to be based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to
the entire measurement.

NOTE 2—CASH AND INVESTMENTS
Primary Government: The City's pooled idle funds are invested pursuant to investment policy guidelines
adopted by the City Council. The objectives of the policy are to invest funds to the fullest extent possible
and to invest in accordance with the provisions of the California Government Code with the priority of safety,
liquidity and yield. The policy addresses the safekeeping of securities, types of investment instruments,
diversification, maturities, reporting requirements, and internal control. The City maintains a cash and
investment pool that is available for use by all funds. Each fund type's portion of this pool is displayed on
the Statement of Net Position and the balance sheet as "cash and investments."
Policies: California Law requires banks and savings and loan institutions to pledge government securities
with a market value of 110 percent of the City's cash on deposit, or first trust deed mortgage notes with a
market value of 150 percent of the deposit, as collateral for these deposits. Under California Law, this
collateral is held in a separate investment pool by another institution in the City's name and places the City
ahead of general creditors of the institution.
The City and its fiscal agents invest in individual investments and in investment pools. Individual
investments are evidenced by specific identifiable securities instruments, or by an electronic entry
registering the owner in the records of the institution issuing the security, called the book entry system.
Security instruments owned by the City are held in safekeeping by a third party custodian acting as agent
for the City under the terms of a custody agreement.
The City's investments are carried at fair value with the exception of money market mutual funds, which
are carried at amortized cost. The City adjusts the carrying value of its investments to reflect their fair value
at each fiscal year end, and it includes the effects of these adjustments in investment income for that fiscal
year.
Classification: The City's total cash and investments,at fair value,are presented on the financial statements

The City is a 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 Local
Investment Advisory Board (Board) has oversight responsibility for LAIF. The Board consists of five
members as designated by State Statute. The City reports its investment in LAIF at the fair value amount
provided by LAIF, which is the same as the value of the pool share. The balance is available for withdrawal
on demand, and is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an
amortized cost basis. Included in LAIF's investment portfolio are U.S. Treasuries, Federal Agency
obligations, time deposits, negotiable certificates of deposits, commercial paper, corporate bonds, and
security loans. These investments had weighted average maturity of 167 days.
Money market mutual funds are available for withdrawal on demand. At June 30, 2019, money market
mutual funds, used for pooled investment and held by fiscal agent purposes, had a weighted average
maturity of 32 days or less.
Fair Value Hierarchy: The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy
established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs
used to measure fair value of the assets. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in an active market for identical
assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; and Level 3 inputs are significant
unobservable inputs.
The following is a summary of the fair value hierarchy of the fair value of investments of the City as of
June 30, 2019:

Investments classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy include securities valued using quoted prices in
active markets. Federal Agency Securities and other U.S. Treasury Securities, classified in Level 2 of the
fair value hierarchy are valued using matrix pricing techniques maintained by various pricing vendors.
Matrix pricing is used to value securities based on the securities' relationship to benchmark quoted prices.
Fair value is defined as the quoted market value on the last trading day of the period. These prices are
obtained from various pricing sources by the custodian bank.The California Local Agency Investment Fund
(LAIF) is valued using factors provided in the Pooled Money Investment Account (PMIA) Performance
Report by the State Treasurer's Office. Money market funds and negotiable certificates of deposit are
exempt from fair value measurement and are reported at amortized cost.
Credit Risk: Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of
the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating
organization. Presented below is the actual rating as of June 30, 2019 for each investment type, including
those with fiscal agents, as provided by Moody's ratings:

Concentration of Credit Risk: The City's investment policy contains certain limitations on the amount that
can be invested in any one issuer. In certain categories, these limitations are more restrictive than those
required by California Government Code Sections 53600 et seq. Excluding those issued or explicitly
guaranteed by the U.S.government and investments in the local agency investment fund and mutual funds,
the City had the following investments that represent five percent or more of total City-wide investments:

Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLB) U.S. Agency Notes 11,806,265
OPEB Trust: The OPEB Trust's pooled idle funds are invested pursuant to investment policy guidelines
adopted by the Plan. The objectives of the policy are to invest funds to the fullest extent possible and to
invest in accordance with the provisions of the California Government Code with the priority of safety,
liquidity and yield. The policy addresses the safekeeping of securities, types of investment instruments,
diversification, maturities, reporting requirements, and internal control. The Plan maintains a cash and
investment pool that is available for use only by the plan and not any other City funds.
Policies: California Law requires banks and savings and loan institutions to pledge government securities
with a market value of 110 percent of the Plan's cash on deposit, or first trust deed mortgage notes with a
market value of 150 percent of the deposit, as collateral for these deposits. Under California Law, this
collateral is held in a separate investment pool by another institution in the Plans name and places the Plan
ahead of general creditors of the institution.
The Plan and its fiscal agent invest in individual investments and in investment pools. Individual
investments are evidenced by specific identifiable securities instruments, or by an electronic entry
registering the owner in the records of the institution issuing the security, called the book entry system.
Security instruments owned by the Plan are held in safekeeping by a third party custodian acting as agent
for the City under the terms of a custody agreement.
The Plan's investments are carried at fair value with the exception of money market mutual funds which
are carried at amortized cost.The Plan adjusts the carrying value of its investments to reflect their fair value
at each fiscal year end, and it includes the effects of these adjustments in investment income for that fiscal
year.
Classification: The Plan's total cash and investments, at fair value, are presented on the fiduciary fund
financial statements.
Authorized Investments: The Plan's Investment Policy and the California Government Code allow the Plan
to invest its pooled idle funds in the following, under limits and provisions that address interest rate risk,
credit risk, and concentration of credit risk. Specifics of the policy are:
Fixed Income Assets: The fixed income investments are to maintain intermediate-term average
weighted duration, between three-seven years. At the time of purchase, no single fixed income
issuer shall exceed two percent of the total market value of the Portfolio, with the exception of U.S.
Treasury or Agency obligations. The direct high-yield portion shall constitute no more than 10
percent of the total market value of the Portfolio.

of Wilson Park in 1989; finance the Memorial Park Expansion in 1990; and purchase the Blackberry Farm
and Fremont Older site in 1991. The Cupertino Public Facilities Corporation, as lessor, leased real property
to the City (under the Lease Agreement with the lessee) and assigned the base rental payments to the
trustee for the benefit of the owners of the certificates of participation. The rental payments which represent
the pledged revenues are scheduled to be sufficient in both time and amount, when the principal and
interest of the certificates are due, which was the case for the year ended June 30, 2019.
On May 9, 2012, $43,940,000 principal amount of 2012 Refinancing Certificates of Participation (2012
COPs) were issued to refund the 2002 COPs, to fund a reserve fund for the 2012 COPs, and pay costs
incurred in connection with issuance.
The 2012 COPs are payable by a pledge of revenues from the lease payments payable by the City pursuant
to the Lease Agreement between the Cupertino Public Facilities Corporation and the City for the use and
possession of the Site and Facility as described in the Lease Agreement. The City also covenanted in the
Lease Agreement to include all lease payments in its annual budget. Total debt service payments
remaining on the 2012 COPs is $38,875,109 payable through July 1, 2030. For the year ended June 30,

NOTE 7— NET POSITION AND FUND BALANCES
Net Position is measured on the full accrual basis while Fund Balance is measured on the modified accrual
basis.
Net Position: The government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements utilize a net position
presentation. Net position is categorized as follows:
Net investment in capital assets -This category groups all capital assets including, infrastructure,
into one component of net position. Accumulated depreciation and outstanding balances of debt
that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or improvement of these assets reduce the
balance in this category.
Restricted - This category represents net position that has external restrictions imposed by
creditors, grantors, contributors or laws or regulations of other governments and restrictions
imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Unrestricted- This category represents net position of the City that do not meet the definition of
"net investment in capital assets"or"restricted."
Fund Balances: As prescribed by GASB Statement No. 54, governmental funds report fund balance in
classifications based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the specific
purposes for which amounts in the funds can be spent. Fund balances for governmental funds are made
up of the followings:
Nonspendable Fund Balance - includes amounts that are (a) not in spendable form, or (b) legally
or contractually required to be maintained intact. The "not in spendable form" criterion includes
items that are not expected to be converted to cash, for example: prepaid items, property held for
resale and long term notes receivable.
Restricted Fund Balance - includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific purposes
stipulated by external resource providers, constitutionally or through enabling legislation.
Restrictions may effectively be changed or lifted only with the consent of resource providers.
Committed Fund Balance - includes amounts that can only be used for the specific purposes
determined by a formal action of the City's highest level of decision-making authority, the City
Council. Commitments may be changed or lifted only by the City taking the same formal action
(resolution)that imposed the constraint originally.
Assigned Fund Balance-comprises amounts intended to be used by the City for specific purposes
that are neither restricted nor committed. Intent is expressed by the City Council or official to which
the City Council has delegated the authority to assign amounts to be used for specific purposes.
Through the adopted budget, the City Council establishes assigned fund balance policy levels and
also sets the means and priority for the City Manager to fund these levels.
Unassigned Fund Balance - is the residual classification for the General Fund and includes all
amounts not contained in the other classifications. Unassigned amounts are technically available
for any purpose.
In circumstances when an expenditure may be made for which amounts are available in multiple fund
balance classifications, the fund balance in General Fund will generally be used in the order of restricted,
unassigned, and then assigned reserves. In other governmental funds,the order will generally be restricted
and then assigned.

NOTE 8—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Federal and State Grant: The City participates in a number of federal and state grant programs subject to
financial and compliance audits by the grantors or their representatives. Audits of certain grant programs,
including those for the year ended June 30, 2019, have yet to be conducted. The amount, if any, of
expenditures that may be disallowed by the granting agencies cannot be determined at this time.
Management believes that such disallowances, if any, would not have a material effect on the financial
statements.
Encumbrances: The City uses encumbrances to control expenditure commitments for the year.
Encumbrances represent commitments related to executor contracts not yet performed and purchase
orders not yet filled. Commitments for such expenditure of monies are encumbered to reserve a portion of
applicable appropriations. Encumbrances still open at year end are not accounted for as expenditures and
liabilities, but as restricted, or assigned fund balance.

Workers' Compensation Liability: The City belongs to the CSAC Excess Insurance Authority(EIA), a joint
power authority which provides excess workers' compensation liability claims coverage above the City's
self-insured retention of$500,000 per occurrence. Losses above the self-insured retention are pooled with
excess reinsurance purchased to a$50,000,000 statutory limit. EIA was established in 1979 for the purpose
of creating a risk management pool for all California public entities. EIA is governed by a Board of Directors

It is the City's practice to obtain biennial actuarial studies for the self-insured workers'compensation liability.
The claims liabilities included in the workers' compensation internal service fund is based on the results of
actuarial studies and include amounts for claims incurred but not reported and loss adjustment expenses.
Claim liabilities are calculated considering the effects of inflation, recent claim settlement trends, including
frequency and amount of payouts, and other economic and social factors. Inflation of 2.5 percent, annual
rate of return of two percent, claim severity increase at 2.5 percent were assumed. In the current year,
management used actuarial estimates based on a 90 percent confidence level.

For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to
pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Miscellaneous Plan and
additions to/deductions from the Plan's fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as
they are reported by the CalPERS Financial Office. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds
of employee contributions) are recognized when currently due and payable in accordance with the benefit
terms. Investments are reported at fair value.

Benefits Provided: CalPERS provides service retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living
adjustments and death benefits to plan members, who must be public employees and beneficiaries.
Benefits are based on years of credited service, equal to one year of full time employment. Members with
five years of total service are eligible to retire at age 50 with statutorily reduced benefits. All members are
eligible for non-duty disability benefits after 10 years of service. The cost of living adjustments for each

NOTE 10— DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN (Continued)
Net Pension Liabilitv: The City's net pension liability for the Plan is measured as the total pension liability,
less the pension plan's fiduciary net position. The net pension liability of the Plan is measured as of June 30,
2018, using an annual actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2017 rolled forward to June 30, 2018 using
standard update procedures. A summary of principal assumptions and methods used to determine the net
pension liability is shown below.
Actuarial Assumptions: The total pension liabilities in the June 30, 2016 actuarial valuations were
determined using the following actuarial assumptions:
Valuation Date June 30, 2017
Measurement Date June 30, 2018
Actuarial Cost Method Entry-Age Normal Cost Method
Actuarial Assumptions:
Discount Rate 7.15%
Inflation 2.75%
Payroll Growth 3.00%
Projected Salary Increase Varies by Entry Age and Service (1)
Investment Rate of Return 7.5% (2)
Derived using CalPERS' Membership
Mortality Data for all Funds (3)
(1) Depending on age, service and type of employment
(2) Net of pension plan investment expenses and administrative expenses, including inflation
(3) The mortality table used was developed based on CaIPERS' specific data. The table includes
20 years of mortality improvements using Society of Actuaries Scale BB. For more details on
this table, please refer to the CalPERS 2017 experience study report available on CalPERS
website.
All other actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2017 valuation were based on the results of a
December 2017 actuarial experience study for the period 1997 to 2015, including updates to salary
increase, mortality and retirement rates. Further details of the Experience Study can be found on the
CalPERS website under Forms and Publications.
Change of Assumptions: In 2018, demographic assumptions and inflation rate were changed in
accordance to the CaIPERS Experience Study and Review of Actuarial Assumptions from December 2017.
Discount Rate: The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.15 percent for the Plan.
To determine whether the municipal bond rate should be used in the calculation of a discount rate for each
plan, CalPERS stress tested plans that would most likely result in a discount rate that would be different
from the actuarially assumed discount rate. Based on the testing, none of the tested plans run out of assets.
Therefore, the current 7.15 percent discount rate is adequate and the use of the municipal bond rate
calculation is not necessary. The long term expected discount rate of 7.15 percent will be applied to all
plans in the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF). The stress test results are presented in a detailed
report that can be obtained from the CalPERS website.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block
method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of
pension plan investment expense and inflation)are developed for each major asset class.

NOTE 10 - DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN (Continued)
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CaIPERS took into account both short-term and long-
term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Using historical returns
of all the funds' asset classes, expected compound returns were calculated over the short-term (first 10
years)and the long-term(11-60 years)using a building-block approach. Using the expected nominal returns
for both short-term and long-term,the present value of benefits was calculated for each fund. The expected
rate of return was set by calculating the single equivalent expected return that arrived at the same present
value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and long-term returns. The
expected rate of return was then set equivalent to the single equivalent rate calculated above and rounded
down to the nearest one quarter of one percent.

medical benefits and premium rates are established by CalPERS and the insurance providers. The City
contribution is established by City resolution. Retirees and active employees pay the difference between
the premium rate and the City's contribution. Premiums and City contributions are based on the plan and
coverage selected by actives and retirees, with the City's potential contribution ranging from zero to$1,605
per month per employee or retiree. The responsibility for benefit payments has transferred to the insurers
and the City does not guarantee the benefits in the event of default by the insurers. A comprehensive

of any relevant regulation issued or as may be issued; therefore, authorizing him/her to take whatever
additional actions are required to administer the City's PARS Plan. The PARS Trust is approved by the
Internal Revenue Code Section 115 and invests funds in equity, bond, and money market mutual funds.
Copies of PARS Trust annual financial report is available at the City's Finance Department. However, as
the City is the plan administrator and has ultimate responsibility for the plan, the City considered the plan
to be a single employer plan with PARS as the trust administrator only(with no special funding situation or
nonemployer contributing entity). As such, in accordance with the requirements of GASB Statement 74,
Financial Reporting for Post Employment Benefit Plans Other Than Pension Pans, the City has elected to
present the PARS Trust as a fiduciary fund and include the required disclosures and required
supplementary information in its annual financial statements.
An employee is eligible for lifetime medical benefits under the OPEB Plan, along with his/her spouse or
declared domestic partner at the time of retirement, if all criteria listed below are met:
• The employee was hired or the City Council member was elected prior to August 1, 2004, and the
employee has five or more full-time years of service and the City Council member has five or more
years of elected service with the City of Cupertino; or
• The employee was hired or the City Council member was elected on or after August 1, 2004, and
the employee has ten or more full-time and/or elected years of CaIPERS service, five years of
which must be from the City of Cupertino; and
• The employee is eligible for retirement as defined under the CaIPERS retirement system; and the
employee retires from the City of Cupertino.
In addition,the eligible employee's dependent children at the time of retirement who are under 23 years old
are eligible for medical benefits. In addition to extending the eligibility of dependents from age 23 to age 26
in accordance with the recent healthcare reform act, effective July 1, 2010, employees that retire or resign
from service with the City of Cupertino and who are not eligible for retiree medical benefits can continue on
the City's medical and dental plans provided that they pay the premiums in full.
Plan membership: At January 1, 2019 (the latest information available), Plan membership consisted of the
following:
Inactive plan members or beneficiaries currently receiving benefit payments 138
Inactive plan members entitled to but not yet receiving benefit payments -
Active plan members 176
314
Contributions: OPEB Plan contributions are set by the adopted budget. The cost of the benefits provided
by the OPEB Plan is currently being paid by the City on a fully pre-funded basis. Based on the actuarial
valuation date of January 1, 2019, the annual required contribution rate is 7.41 percent of annual covered
payroll. For the year ended June 30, 2019, the City paid$1,075,908 in healthcare premium payments. Plan

Net OPEB Liability of the City:The components of the net OPEB liability(asset)of the City at June 30, 2019
(expressed in thousands)were as follows:
Total OPEB liability $ 28,073
Plan fiduciary net position 29,218
City's net OPEB asset $ (1,145)
Plan fiduciary net position as a percentage of the total OPEB liability 104.08%
Investment rate of return: The long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was determined
using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return
(expected returns, net of investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected
future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. Best
estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in the target asset allocation
as of June 30, 2019 (see the discussion of the Plan's investment policy) are summarized in the following
table:
Long-Term Expected
Asset Class Real Rate of Return
Fixed income—core 3.13%
Fixed income—high yield 4.75%
Fixed income—inflation protected 3.03%
Fixed income—hedged 3.18%
Equities—domestic 7.30%
Equities—developed foreign 7.77%
Equities—emerging foreign 8.36%
Real estate 5.79%
Commodities 3.87%
Cash 2.61%
Investment policy: The Plan's policy in regard to the allocation of invested assets is established and may
be amended by the Plan's Board by a majority vote of its members. It is the policy of the Plan Board to
pursue an investment strategy that reduces risk through the prudent diversification of the portfolio across a
broad selection of distinct asset classes. The Plan's investment policy discourages the use of cash
equivalents, except for liquidity purposes, and aims to refrain from dramatically shifting asset class
allocations over short time spans. The following was the Board's adopted asset allocation policy as of
June 30, 2019:
Asset Class Target Allocation
Fixed income 29%
Equities 62%
Real estate 6%
Commodities 2%
Cash 1%

NOTE 11 —OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB) (Continued)
Concentrations: The Plan did not have investments outside of mutual funds that comprise five percent or
more of the Plan's total fiduciary net position.
Rate of return: For the year ended June 30, 2019, the annual money-weighted rate of return on
investments, net of investment expense, was 6.32 percent. The money-weighted rate of return expresses
investment performance, net of investment expense, adjusted for the changing amounts actually invested.
Actuarial assumptions: The total OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of January 1,
2019, using the previously listed actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement,
unless otherwise specified. Mortality rates were based on the CalPERS mortality assumptions.
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as
understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time
of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan
members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed
to reduce effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets,
consistent with long-term perspective of the calculations.
The other significant actuarial assumptions used to prepare the City's January 1, 2019 actuarial valuation
include the following:
Valuation date: January 1, 2019
Measurement date: June 30, 2019
Actuarial Cost Method: Entry Age Normal
Amortization Method: Level percent of pay closed
Amortization Period: 10 year
Asset Valuation Method: Market value
Actuarial Assumptions:
Discount Rate 7.00%
Payroll Growth 3.00%
Ultimate Rate of Medical Inflation 4.50%
Mortality(1) CaIPERS mortality assumptions
Health Care Trend The annual cost of healthcare is
expected to decrease from
7.0% in 2019 to 4.5%from 2076
and later.
(1) 2017 CalPERS Experience Study, Recipients with attained age of 50
Discount rate: The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 7.0 percent. The projection
of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that City contributions will be made at rates
equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates. Based on those assumptions, the OPEB plan's
fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current
plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was applied to
all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total OPEB liability.

in taxes received from the company.
NOTE 13— UPCOMING GASB PRONOUCEMENTS
In January 2017, the GASB issued Statement 84, Fiduciary Activities. The objective of this Statement is to
improve guidance regarding the identification of fiduciary activities for accounting and financial reporting
purposes and how those activities should be reported. This Statement establishes criteria for identifying
fiduciary activities of all state and local governments. The focus of the criteria generally is on (1)whether a
government is controlling the assets of the fiduciary activity and (2)the beneficiaries with whom a fiduciary
relationship exists. Separate criteria are included to identify fiduciary component units and postemployment
benefit arrangements that are fiduciary activities. This Statement is effective for the City's fiscal year ended
June 30,2020. Management has not determined what impact, if any,this statement will have on its financial
statements.

NOTE 13— UPCOMING GASB PRONOUCEMENTS (Continued)
In June 2017, the GASB issued Statement 87, Leases. The objective of this Statement is to better meet
the information needs of financial statement users by improving accounting and financial reporting for
leases by governments. This Statement increases the usefulness of governments'financial statements by
requiring recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities for leases that previously were classified as
operating leases and recognized as inflows of resources or outflows of resources based on the payment
provisions of the contract. It establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the foundational
principle that leases are financings of the right to use an underlying asset. This Statement is effective for
the City's fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. Management has not determined what impact, if any, this
statement will have on its financial statements.
In June 2018, the GASB issued Statement No. 89, Accounting for Interest Cost Incurred before the End of
a Construction Period.The objectives of this Statement are (1)to enhance the relevance and comparability
of information about capital assets and the cost of borrowing for a reporting period and (2) to simplify
accounting for interest cost incurred before the end of a construction period. This Statement establishes
accounting requirements for interest cost incurred before the end of a construction period. This Statement
is effective for the City's fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. Management has not determined what impact, if
any, this statement will have on its financial statements.
In August 2018, the GASB issued Statement No. 90, Majority Equity Interests—an amendment of GASB
Statements No. 14 and No. 61. The primary objectives of this Statement are to improve the consistency
and comparability of reporting a government's majority equity interest in a legally separate organization and
to improve the relevance of financial statement information for certain component units. It defines a majority
equity interest and specifies that a majority equity interest in a legally separate organization should be
reported as an investment if a government's holding of the equity interest meets the definition of an
investment. This Statement also requires that a component unit in which a government has a 100 percent
equity interest account for its assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of
resources at acquisition value at the date the government acquired a 100 percent equity interest in the
component unit. This Statement is effective for the City's fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. Management
has not determined what impact, if any, this statement will have on its financial statements.
In May 2019, the GASB issued Statement No. 91, Conduit Debt Obligations. The primary objectives of this
Statement are to provide a single method of reporting conduit debt obligations by issuers and eliminate
diversity in practice associated with (1) commitments extended by issuers, (2) arrangements associated
with conduit debt obligations, and (3) related note disclosures. This Statement achieves those objectives
by clarifying the existing definition of a conduit debt obligation; establishing that a conduit debt obligation is
not a liability of the issuer; establishing standards for accounting and financial reporting of additional
commitments and voluntary commitments extended by issuers and arrangements associated with conduit
debt obligations; and improving required note disclosures. This Statement is effective for the City's fiscal
year ended June 30, 2022. Management has not determined what impact, if any, this statement will have
on its financial statements.

Corporation Debt Service Fund. Although the fund is considered to be a major government fund, budget-
to-actual information in the basic financial statements is limited to the General Fund and major Special
Revenue Funds. All other major governmental fund schedules with such information are therefore included
as Supplemental Information. The Capital Projects Funds are budgeted on a major project length basis
and therefore not comparable on an annual basis.
Public Facilities Corporation Debt Service Fund: This fund accounts for the payments of principal and
interest on certificates of participation issued to provide for the financing of the Civic Center, Library,Wilson
Park, Memorial Park, and other City facilities.

INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS
Internal Service Funds are used to finance and account for special activities and services provided by one
department or program to other departments of the City on a cost reimbursement basis.
The concept of major funds does not extend to internal service funds because they do not do business with
outside parties. For the Statement of Activities, the net revenues or expenses of each internal service fund
are eliminated by netting them against the operations of the City departments that generated them. The
remaining balance sheet items are consolidated with these same funds in the Statement of Net Position.
However, internal service funds are still presented separately in the Fund financial statements.
Information Technology- Accounts for the activities related to the maintenance and replacement
of the City's technology infrastructure.
Workers' Compensation - Accounts for the activities in support of the self-insured workers'
compensation program.
Equipment Revolving - Accounts for the activities related to the maintenance and replacement of
the City's vehicle fleet and other equipment.
Compensated Absences and Long-Term Disability- Accounts for accrued leave payouts and the
City's long term disability insurance program.
Retiree Medical-Accounts for funds set-aside for other post-employment retirement benefits.

Notes:
'In 1978,California voters passed Proposition 13 which set the property tax rate at a 1.00%fixed amount.This 1.00%is shared by all taxing
agencies for which the subject property resides within.In addition to the 1.00%fixed amount,property owners are charged taxes as a
percentage of assessed property values for the payment of any voter approved bonds.
'Overlapping rates are those of local and county governments that apply to property owners within the City.Not all overlapping rates apply to all city property owners.
3Ci's Share of 1%Levy is based on the City's share of the general fund tax rate area with the largest net taxable value within the city.ERAF
general fund tax shifts may not be included in tax ratio figues.
'Redevelopment Rate is based on the largest RDA tax rate area and only includes rate(s)from indebtedness adopted prior to 1989 per
California State statute.RDA direct and overlapping rates are applied only to the incremental property values.The approval of ABXI 26
eliminated Redevelopment from the State of California for the fiscal year 2012/13 and years thereafter.
'Total Direct Rate is the weighted average of all individual direct rates applied to by the government preparing the statistical section
information and excludes revenues derived from aircraft.Beginning in 2013/14 the Total Direct Rate no longer includes revenue generated
from the former redevelopment tax rate areas.Challenges to recognized enforceable obligations are assumed to have been resolved during
2012/13.For the purposes of this report,residual revenue is assumed to be distributed to the City in the same proportions as general fund
revenue.

Note: The Government Code of the State of California provides for a legal debt limit of 15%of gross assessed valuation.However,this
provision was enacted when assessed valuation was based upon 25%of market value. Effective with the 1981-82 fiscal year,each parcel is
now assessed at 100%of market value(as of the most recent change in ownership for that parcel).The computations shown above reflect a
conversion of assessed valuation data for each fiscal year from the current full valuation perspective to the 25%level that was in effect at the
time that the legal debt margin was enacted by the State of California for local governments located within the state.

History
"This place of San Joseph Cupertino has good water and much firewood, but nothing suitable for a
settlement because it is among the hills very near to the range of cedars which I mentioned yesterday, and
lacks level lands."
When Spanish explorer San Juan Bautista De Anza traveled through California in 1776, he and
his party documented these words about the land surrounding Stevens Creek,named back then
as Arroyo San Joseph Cupertino.However,first impressions can often be misleading.Underneath
the spiny, overgrown bush was a completely different land waiting to be uncovered.During this
time, the area was populated by Native Americans who hunted and gathered, prospering from
the abundant resources the land had to offer.
It wasn't until 1848 when the first American settler, Elijah Stephens, a blacksmith from South
Carolina,moved to the area—at this time,named simply'West Side'and primarily owned by the
government. After crossing over the Sierra Nevada in wagons, he discovered the true value of
the land underneath the bush, and proceeded to purchase over 300 acres of farmland to grow
grapes and blackberries.Stephens pioneered the way for farmers,which established West Side as
an agricultural hot spot. The land Stephens owned eventually became Blackberry Farm, and the
road, creek, and reservoir were all named after him, although misspelled.
In early West Side, many of the newest advances in agriculture were being developed. Settlers
were drawn to the land because of its rich earth, where they were able to grow products that
competed on the world market.Once the bush had been cleared,they grew grapes,which covered
the West Valley area with vineyards by the late 1800s.By the 1900s,a plant louse called Phylloxera
spread throughout the vineyards, attacking the roots of the grape vines, killing the grapes and
putting a halt to wine production. As a solution, nearly everything was replanted with fruit
orchards.When the fruit trees blossomed,visitors would come to the orchards for"The Valley of
Heart's Delight" festivals, which celebrated the prosperous agriculture of the West Valley area.
Apart from the farmland, West Side was primarily known as a crossroads, an intersection
between Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road and Stevens Creek. This served as a way station for travelers
to pass through while going from town to town. As more people came to West Side to take
advantage of the rich farm land,more family holdings gathered around the cross-roads. Starting
off as just a post office and home union store, West Side's humble cross-roads brought many
diverse communities, all attracted by the preferable climate and profitable market for crops.
As more people were drawn to the area around the cross-roads, the orchards were gradually
replaced with modern houses for workers. The population steadily grew, and the face of West
Side changed, progressing to a more modern town. The community wanted to rename the city,
as to not confuse it with other cities,as well as establish a unique identity.John T.Doyle,a lawyer
from San Francisco, and writer of historical anthologies on the area,chose the name "Cupertino"
after the original name of the creek.
After the post-World War II population boom,the growing community petitioned for Cupertino
to become an incorporated town. Members of the community were worried that the alternative
to incorporation was to have parts of Cupertino annexed by surrounding cities, splitting up the
community and erasing the local culture. To preserve the rural atmosphere, lower taxes for
farmers, start a local government, and prepare for growth, Cupertino voted for incorporation. In
1955, Cupertino officially became the 13th city in Santa Clara County.
By the 1970s,Cupertino once again began to undergo dramatic changes.The growing community
attracted several large technology corporations. Lockheed Martin, HP, Intel, and many other big
names established themselves in the Silicon Valley.Apple Inc.was founded in Cupertino in 1976
and quickly grew into the tech giant it's known for today.
In the late 20th century, Cupertino and the surrounding areas experienced another surge in
population growth,this time due to the immigration of people from Asian countries.Immigration
laws at the time were in the favor of families looking to move to the Silicon Valley. People
immigrated here for a variety of reasons—whether they were aspiring for career prospects with
major tech companies, or striving for a quality education for their children, everyone who
immigrated here had a common goal: to find opportunities to work hard for a better life for
themselves and their families.
