City Council
City of Cupertino, California
Independent Auditor’s Report
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 (the City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2010, which collectively comprise the City’s
basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the City’s management. 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. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration
of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our 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 of Cupertino, California as of June 30, 2010,
and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof, and the
respective budgetary comparison for the General Fund for the year then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 1(n) to the basic financial statements, effective July 1, 2009, the City adopted the
provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 51, Accounting and
Financial Reporting for Intangible Assets.
The management’s discussion and analysis and the schedules of funding progress listed in the table of
contents are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have applied
certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods
of measurement and presentation of the required supplementary information. However, we did not audit
the information and do not express an opinion on it.
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 section are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The other supplementary
information section has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The introductory, statistical, and community profile sections have
not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and,
accordingly, we express no opinion on them.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)

This describes the City of Cupertino’s financial performance for the year. Please read it in conjunction with the
accompanying Transmittal Letter and Basic Financial Statements.
2009-10 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Governmental activity revenues were $46,152,000, down significantly from $51,757,000 in 2008-09.
Governmental activity expenses were $46,223,000 in 2009-10, down slightly from $46,807,000 in the prior
year.
Revenues from business-type activities were $6,575,000 in current year, down from $6,980,000 in the prior
year.
Expenses of business-type activities were $5,808,000 in current year, down slightly from $5,828,000 in the
prior year.
Governmental net assets were relatively unchanged while business-type net assets rose $767,000.
General Fund revenues of $35,578,000 represented a large decrease of $5,715,000 from the prior year;
General Fund expenditures increased $680,000 to $32,956,000 in 2009-10.
The General Fund incurred expenditure budget savings of $2,338,000; however, revenues fell short of
budget by $2,310,000.
Including net transfers out, the General Fund balance declined $6,266,000 to end the year at $15,931,000.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Basic Financial Statements comprise the City-wide Financial Statements and the Fund Financial
Statements; these two sets of financial statements provide two different views of the City’s financial activities
and position.
The City-Wide Financial Statements provide a long-term view of the City’s activities as a whole, and
comprise the Statement of Net Assets 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
Assets 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 all
its expenses, with the emphasis on measuring net revenues or expenses for each of the City’s programs. The
Statement of Activities explains in detail the change in Net Assets for the year. Over time, increases or
decreases in net assets 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 Assets 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
Redevelopment Agency, because the City is considered to be financially accountable for the Agency. The
Cupertino Public Facilities Corporation, from which the City leases its major facilities through the payment
of long-term debt, is also included as a component unit.
Business-type activities—All the City’s enterprises are reported here, including solid waste management
and some of the City’s recreational operations. Unlike governmental services, these services are supported
by charges paid by users based on the amount of the service they use.
CITY OF CUPERTINO
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2010
The Fund Financial Statements report the City’s operations in more detail than the government-wide
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, and liabilities; 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,
calledmajor 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.
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 government-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 activities
statements to allow a better understanding of the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financial
decisions.
Enterprise and Internal Service Fund financial statements are prepared on the full accrual basis and include all
their assets and liabilities, current and long-term. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions
presented as business-type activities in the government-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 assets 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 government-wide financial statements.
Comparisons of budget and actual financial information are included in the Basic Financial Statements for the
General Fund and other major Special Revenue Funds. Since none of the City’s Special Revenue Funds are
considered major funds, budgetary comparison schedules for these funds are included in this document as
supplemental information only.
Fiduciary Fundstatements provide financial information about the activity of an assessment district. The City
acts strictly as an agent for the district holding amounts collected from property owners, prior to transferring the
money to the districts’ bond trustees. The City’s fiduciary activities are reported in the separate Statement of
Fiduciary Net Assets and the Agency Funds Statement of Changes in Assets and Liabilities. These activities are
excluded from the City’s other financial statements because the City cannot use these assets to finance its own
operations.
The Notes to Basic Financial Statements provide additional detail that is essential to a full understanding of
the information provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.

The City’s net assets from governmental activities were relatively unchanged from the prior year. The following
significant changes within asset, liability, and net asset categories occurred:
A $7,000,000 investment into an irrevocable trust dedicated to future other post employment benefits
(OPEB) was the major cause of the cash and investments decrease. It also reduced the OPEB obligation
portion of other liabilities by $1,827,000 and increased the OPEB portion of other assets by $3,747,000.
Principal payments on the 2002 certificates of participation lowered long-term debt by $1,460,000.
Approximately $2 million in net assets changed from unrestricted to restricted reflecting lower
unrestricted general funds and higher balances restricted to transportation, redevelopment, and housing
purposes.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2010
City-wide Governmental Revenues
Table 2 shows that total governmental revenues fell $5,605,000 or 11% off of last year, finishing at
$46,152,000.
Sales taxes fell $4,208,000 or 30% off of last year to finish up at $9,931,000. The state’s mechanism of
collecting and allocating these taxes to the City lags actual sales trends by up to a year, so a part of last year’s
recessionary downturn in business-to-business and retail sales showed up in this year’s City results. Actual sales
tax collections in this current year, with prior year effects excluded, were down by only 4% from 2008-09. This
year’s result was also negatively impacted by the timing of a sales tax consulting agreement that is payable out
of a percentage of revenues. The positive revenue result that will show in first quarter of the new fiscal year is
offset by the corresponding higher amount payable for the consulting agreement in the current fiscal year.
Grants and contributions, both operating and capital related, decreased a combined $1,220,000 or 14% from
2008-09 as this year’s Stevens Creek Corridor Park and pavement resurfacing grants from federal and state
sources such as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, Surface Transportation Program, Proposition 1B
bonds, and Park Bond Act were under the 2008-09 Mary Avenue Bicycle Footbridge and community housing
program reimbursements received from the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority and Community
Development Block Grants (CDBG).
City-wide Governmental Expenses
City-wide governmental expenses in Table 2 decreased $584,000 or 1% under 2008-09. Administration,
Recreation Services, and Public Works rose while Law Enforcement and Community Development declined.
Administrative Services, Public & Environmental Affairs, and debt interest were stable.
Administration increased $142,000 or 8% this year due to higher contract attorney use.
Recreation Services rose $239,000 or 6% because the Blackberry Farm recreation area and swimming pool
reopened in July 2009 after a two-year construction project.
Higher depreciation costs caused Public Works expenses to go up $1,216,000 or 7% over the prior year
reflecting the Mary Avenue Footbridge, Stevens Creek Corridor Park, and pavement capital projects completed
in the prior year.
The General Fund paid the County Sheriff’s Office, under a Law Enforcement contract with the City, $251,000
or 3% more this year because of an annual cost of living adjustment, but on a consolidated financial basis, law
enforcement expenses dropped $419,000 from the previous year as internal service costs for information
technology, equipment, and insurance were no longer allocated to this function starting in 2009-10.
Community Development expenses fell $1,827,000 or 30% primarily because of 2008-09 CDBG monies and
City development impact fees expended on the Maitri domestic violence shelter and the Senior Housing
Solution senior living residence.
Change in Net Assets
City-wide governmental expenses in excess of revenues and accompanying net asset decrease of $71,000 was
under the $4,950,000 increase of last year, mostly due to the revenue falloff.
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 the costs of providing
CITY OF CUPERTINO
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2010
services and facilities to the general public on a continuing basis can be financed or recovered primarily through
user fees.
Business-type net assets totaled $9,852,000 at June 30, 2010, an increase of $767,000 from the prior year with
$652,000 of the rise going into capital assets and the rest into unrestricted net assets.
Overall revenues of $6,575,000 this year were $405,000 or 6% lower than last year with declines in all of the
City’s enterprises.
Expenses for all business-type activities were flat at $5,808,000. Revenues over expenses of $767,000 declined
from the $1,152,000 in 2008-09, reflecting the lower operating incomes of the Sports Center, Recreation, and
Resources Recovery enterprises. The major proprietary funds section of this report provides more information
on business-type results.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2010
MAJOR GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
General Fund
General Fund Revenues
General Fund revenues of $35,578,000 ended up $2,310,000 or 6% below the final budget and $5,003,000 or
12% below the original budget for the year ended June 30, 2010. This was $5,715,000 or 14% under last year.
Severe declines in property and sales taxes caused the year-to-year falloff while underperformance in almost all
revenue categories except for transient occupancy taxes and intergovernmental grants produced the budget
shortfall. Table 5 displays year-to-year variations, while Table 6 shows budget versus actual differences.
Property taxes ended the year at $10,439,000, dropping 11% or $1,304,000 from last year while meeting the
final budget. The budget was adjusted downward at mid-year by $770,000 after the State adopted a late 2009-10
budget in September 2009 that included the borrowing of $1,419,000 in property taxes to fund their budget
deficit. Proposition 1A requires that the State repay this to the City by June 30, 2013 with 2% annual interest
and until that is done, it cannot seize any more property taxes under this statute; accordingly, this loan is carried
as a receivable and deferred revenue. The revenue decline was partially offset by actual tax receipts, aside from
the borrowing, coming in slightly better than predicted from the assessed valuation known at the original budget
adoption. However, the City was not immune to the weakness in the residential and commercial real estate
markets and tax roll growth was down from previous years. But because of the City’s low foreclosure rates and
its popular local school districts, assessed values have been impacted less severely relative to many other cities
in the County. This category also includes property taxes that replace motor vehicle license fees lost due to the
statewide fee reduction in 2005.
Sales taxes fell $4,208,000 or 30% off of last year to finish up at $9,931,000. It was $1,718,000 or 15% below
the original budget and $1,318,000 or 12% below the final budget. The state’s mechanism of collecting and
allocating these taxes to the City lags actual sales trends by up to a year, so a part of last year’s recessionary
downturn in business-to-business and retail sales showed up in this year’s City results. Actual sales tax
collections in this current year, with prior year effects excluded, were down by only 4% from 2008-09. This
year’s result was also negatively impacted by the timing of a sales tax consulting agreement that is payable out
of a percentage of revenues. The positive revenue result that will show in first quarter of the new fiscal year is
offset by the corresponding higher amount payable for the consulting agreement in the current fiscal year.
After the City saw declines in the first two quarters, it lowered its sales tax budget by $400,000.
The four hotels in the City remitted $2,142,000 in transient occupancy taxes this year, equaling last year’s
performance. It was 7% or $148,000 better than the final budget. Receipts began to improve in November 2009
as the hotels, which all cater to business, saw a pickup in occupancy rates. Average room rates, however,
continued to lag the prior year. The City had forecasted a stronger business recovery in hotels than what was
unfolding, so the budget for this 10% tax was decreased at mid-year by $400,000.
The City’s 2.4% utility user tax on telecommunication, gas, and electric services rose 2% above last year. This
$3,271,000 in revenues was $95,000 or 3% under the original and final budget. On November 3, 2009, voters
passed an ordinance to ensure that this tax can continue to be collected on contemporary telecom systems.
Franchise taxes of $2,598,000 from electric, gas, water, solid waste, and cable utilities were mostly unchanged
from last year and in-line with this year’s original and final budget.
Other taxes include business license, construction, and property transfer taxes. The county assesses the transfer
tax, at $1.10 per $1,000 in sales price, upon recording the ownership change, and gives the City one-half of the
tax. The increase in housing transactions offset the continuing decline in building activity and the associated
construction tax on its value, causing the other tax category to grow by a net 13% or $133,000 from 2008-09

figures. However, the lack of a pickup in construction, due to difficulties in commercial financing, caused other
taxes to be 4% or $49,000 off of the final budget and 23% or $349,000 under the original budget.
Licenses and permits finished at $2,583,000, declining 6% or $157,000 from 2008-09. It was 20% or $627,000
below the final and original budget. The slump in residential construction continued, while expected new
commercial projects did not come to fruition. Fees from a partially completed project at the Rosebowl were
delayed.
Zoning, planning, and engineering review fees comprise two-thirds of the charges for services category, with
non-enterprise recreational programs encompassing the rest. The category improved from $1,266,000 last year
to $1,334,000 this year, a 5% rise. It finished $100,000 or 7% below the final budget and $500,000 and 27%
under the original budget. Entitlement and street cut review fees were below forecasts as developments were
placed on hold, while Senior Center revenues turned out better than expected and grew over last year as the mild
economic recovery helped trip and class bookings. The Blackberry Farm recreation area reopened in July 2009,
resuming fees for picnic ground and swimming pool use, after being closed for a two year capital improvement
project.
Intergovernmental revenues of $626,000 rose 48% or $205,000 from last year, exceeded the final budget by
27% or $134,000, and topped the original budget by 51% or $211,000. $88,000 of an American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act grant for energy efficiency work appeared in 2009-10 while $40,000 of a Citizens Option for
Public Safety grant, normally received in 2008-09, arrived instead in October 2009. Cost reimbursements from
other governments and districts, including those for State mandates, grew by $42,000. $77,000 in new emergency
management grants were awarded to the City during 2009-10 and subsequently added to the budget.
General Fund cash is part of the City’s pooled investment portfolio. Investment returns of the pool are allocated
to the Fund based on the Fund’s monthly cash balance. These returns plus the renting of City facilities comprise
use of money and property revenues, which extended their slump into a second year, falling 41% from 2008-09,
to finish at $686,000 versus $1,163,000 a year ago. Results include $25,000 of unrealized losses from declines
in market value on the fixed rate securities in the portfolio. Current results were 23% and 51% under the final
and original budgets, respectively. Falling cash balances because of lower revenues and the portfolio’s increased
concentration in safe short-term Treasuries kept yields down. As interest rates did not increase as expected and
investments into higher yielding Federal agencies and the Local Agency Investment Fund did not occur, the
investment revenue budget was decreased at mid-year by $500,000. A further explanation of the investment
picture for the year is in Note 2 of the Basic Financial Statements. Rent income was stable and on budget.
Fines and forfeitures year-to-year were relatively flat. Actual receipts came in $166,000 or 18% below final and
original budget as courts were assessing lower fine amounts in certain cases.
Transfers into the General Fund dropped 22% from $624,000 last year to $487,000 this year. There were fewer
surplus dollars returned to the General Fund from project savings in the Capital Project Improvement Fund. The
budget for transfers added $992,000 during the year to reflect the project savings and a $505,000 borrowing of
money from an internal service fund to replace the State property tax takeaway. However the borrowing was
actually recorded as an advance from another fund liability, rather than as a transfer-in, causing the budget
versus actual difference.

General Fund Expenditures
Fiscal 2009-10 overall expenditures, at $32,956,000, were $680,000 or 2% higher than last year’s total of
$32,276,000. However, this result came in 7% or $2,338,000 under the final budget and $2,533,000 below the
original budget. Year-to-year and budget versus actual results by General Fund department are described below
and in Tables 7 and 8.
Administration expenditures of $1,469,000 rose 10% or $132,000 over last year while finishing $48,000 or 3%
under final budget. Higher usage of contract attorney services accounted for the yearly rise while a staff attorney
vacancy led to a minor budget reduction at mid-year.
Law Enforcement sheriff contract costs of $8,384,000 were under the final budget by $182,000 or 2%. The
budget contains dollars for unexpected events or incidences, so by the end of the year, the normal rate of general
law enforcement, service requests, emergency calls, patrol, and investigations usually brings budget savings.
Funds for school traffic safety was carried over from the previous year and added to the amended budget. The
results exceeded past year expenditures by 3% or $251,000, because of the contract’s cost of living adjustment.
Having contract law enforcement helps the City contain costs.
Public and Environmental Affairs expenditures of $1,487,000 were flat on a budget and year-to-year basis.
Administrative Services increased 3% from last year and finished 8% or $329,000 under final budget. The
City’s biennial City Council election affected the yearly fluctuation. Budget savings were realized in finance,
city clerk, disaster preparedness, insurance, code enforcement and neighborhood watch. The final budget was
$192,000 under the original budget due mid-year budget cuts from a human resource staff vacancy and a lower
insurance reserve.
Non-enterprise Recreation expenditures ended up $285,000 or 7% below final budget, but exceeded last year’s
spending by $215,000 or 6%. The Blackberry Farm recreation area and swimming pool reopened in July 2009
after a two-year closure for construction. Most operational areas realized budget savings but the senior travel
program comprised 45% of the savings as their cost of trips sold budget was set for a higher revenue level than
what was actually realized, even after a mid-year budget decrease.
Community Development costs of $3,069,000 was $492,000 or 14% below the final budget due to a lower
amount of building activity and associated reduction in plan checking and inspection work. Additionally, the
department employed fewer consultant hours than anticipated for its long-term planning work. Costs dipped 4%
or $140,000 from last year as the less contract plan checking was needed.
Public Works maintenance, repair, and engineering expenditures of $10,809,000 rose a slight 1% or $121,000
over the prior year. It was $995,000 or 8% under final budget due to a school traffic safety project that will
continue into next year, two engineering staff vacancies, and surplus engineering, traffic, and maintenance
contingencies. Purchase orders from last year comprised the $253,000 increase from original to final budget.
Transfers out of the General Fund climbed from $7,110,000 in 2008-09 to $9,375,000 in 2009-10, as finally
budgeted, with $3,538,000 for ongoing debt service, $2,625,000 for one-time capital projects, $1,848,000 for
ongoing retiree health obligations, $750,000 for ongoing road maintenance, $300,000 for ongoing accrued leave
payouts, $199,000 for new information technology and equipment, $100,000 for ongoing infrastructure reserve
additions, and a $15,000 new subsidy for storm drain management. The increase over 2008-09 resulted from
new capital funding offset by a reduction in the retiree health contribution, accrued leave payout, and
information technology support. $1,696,000 of the capital funding came out of General Fund reserves for a
citywide streetlight and irrigation retrofit project which is slated to generate future energy savings. The
$929,000 remaining capital commitment was for various tasks described in the Capital Improvement Projects
section of this discussion, $487,000 of it reflects a redeployment of budget savings from older projects. The
budget varied during the fiscal year as new projects were authorized.

General Fund Balance
At June 30, 2010, the General Fund reported a total ending fund balance of $15,931,000, down 28% or
$6,266,000 from the prior year. The City designates $12,500,000 of this for economic uncertainty and $916,000
for utility user taxes specified for capital projects. $1,104,000 is reserved for open purchase orders, future
public access programming, and prepaid expenses. $1,204,000 is earmarked as rehabilitation and employee
housing loans due back to the City. Finally, $207,000 in unreserved, undesignated funds is available to balance
future budgets.
CITY OF CUPERTINO
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2010
The fund balance falloff resulted from revenues exceeding expenditures by $2,622,000 offset by a net transfer
out of $8,888,000. The unreserved, undesignated fund balance took the bulk of the hit dropping from $4,857,000
a year ago to $207,000 at June 30, 2010. The $915,000 set-aside for state budget raids was depleted when the
state took property taxes at mid-year for their budget deficit. The designated utility user tax balance was drawn
down by $684,000 during the year for capital project use. Loan payoffs reduced loan reserves by $17,000.
Public Facilities Corporation
This fund accounts for the payments of principal and interest on the 2002 certificates of participation (COPs),
which refinanced the long-term debt that funded many of the City’s major parks and facilities. As in previous
years, General Fund transfers into the fund cover the debt service payments of $3,538,000.
Capital Improvement Projects
All of the City’s non-enterprise capital projects are in this fund, except for the Stevens Creek Corridor Park,
which is a separate major fund, and the Mary Avenue Bicycle Footbridge, which is a part of Other
Governmental Funds. Funding for these projects come from grants, General Fund, and Other Governmental
Funds. Outlays for park, facility, and traffic projects declined from $2,048,000 in 2008-09 to $1,359,000 in
2009-10, as Sterling/Barnhart Park construction, Service Center equipment wash rack, Quinlan Community
Center courtyard trellis, and Sports Center tennis court lighting were new projects worked on this year. The
General Fund and Other Governmental Funds provided $2,322,000 and $60,000 respectively in new project
funding this year, compared to none the previous year, as earlier revenue forecasts allowed a cautious
resumption of capital spending and an investment in a streetlight and irrigation retrofit project was deemed to be
worthwhile because of future utility bill savings. $487,000 in completed project cost savings were returned to
the General Fund. The General Fund maintained its commitment of contributing $100,000 annually to the
Capital Improvement Fund and designating these contributions towards future projects. As of June 30, 2010,
the Capital Improvement Fund has $1,775,000 designated for capital projects of which $1,000,000 is designated
for infrastructure projects, $699,000 is designated for capital improvement, and $76,000 for construction in
progress.
Stevens Creek Corridor Park
This fund contains three capital projects. The $13,577,000 Phase One segment to completely re-design the
picnic grounds at Blackberry Farm, re-align and restore the natural habitat of the creek, renovate the swimming
pool facilities, and build the creek trail, completed major construction and re-opened to the public on July 4,
2009. Outlays for this segment fell to $994,000 during 2009-10 compared to $9,472,000 the previous year as
this year’s work consisted of providing minor improvements to the area facilities. Phase Two, initially budgeted
at $200,000 for designing a trail extension to Stevens Creek Boulevard, began with $37,000 in expenditures for
2009-10. A new third project, the $800,000 Blackberry Farm infrastructure upgrade, kicked off with $33,000
spent in 2009-10 for design. The General Fund financed two-thirds of Phase One, with the City’s recreation
enterprise fund, State grants, and the Santa Clara Valley Water District backing the rest of the undertaking. The
City billed for and received many of the cost-reimbursement grants during this fiscal year, with $2,294,000
received and accrued this year compared to $804,000 the prior year. Moreover, the infrastructure upgrade
project received a $303,000 transfer from the General Fund this year. With the reimbursements and transfers,
the $838,000 fund balance deficit of the past year turned into a current $965,000 positive fund balance
designated for Phase Two and the infrastructure upgrade.

MAJOR PROPRIETARY FUNDS
Resources Recovery
The City’s solid waste disposal enterprise, operated by a franchise agreement with Recology, experienced little
change in solid waste pickup and debris box revenues compared to the previous year. Operating expenses for
pickup, landfill disposal, recycling, and City administration rose a modest 1%. Operating income declined from
$117,000 to $93,000 this year. With interest earnings of $41,000, net assets increased by $134,000 ending the
year at $5,827,000 in unrestricted net assets. The net asset increase underperformed the $222,000 growth of last
year, because of lower interest earnings from the City’s pooled investment portfolio and the lower operating
income. The City renewed its franchise agreement for five years commencing in November 2010 with a minor
revenue rate increase and a restructuring of how the City and franchisee share revenues and costs.
Blackberry Farm
City employees, with a teaching professional on contract, staff the City-owned Blackberry Farm golf course and
pro shop. Golfing green fees declined at a lower degree that the previous year, as the older demographics of golf
course users continued to negatively impact customer counts.Operating revenues of $569,000 represented a 5%
or $28,000 drop in 2009-10, compared to a 7% and $44,000 decline in 2008-09. Expenses decreased by
$39,000 or 8% finishing at $457,000 this year as water irrigation cost increases of the previous year were
avoided and managed with lower water usage. Increase in net assets was $115,000, an improvement over the
$109,000 of last year. At June 30, 2010, unrestricted net assets were $534,000.
Cupertino Sports Center
Tennis lesson, membership, fitness class and rent revenues of $1,578,000 declined by $154,000 or 9% off of last
year, resulting from a falloff in tennis lesson revenues generated by a private sports operator. Corresponding
contract instructor and in-house staff costs fell by $122,000, but with unchanged facility maintenance costs,
operating income fell to $100,000 in 2009-10, off of the $138,000 produced in 2008-09. After adding-in interest
earnings, the increase in net assets of $104,000 brought ending unrestricted net assets to $346,000 by year-end.
The Sports Center completed $83,000 of tennis court resurfacing and equipment purchases during the year,
enhancing capital assets by that amount.
Recreation Programs
Cultural events, youth and teen programs, sports, dance and fitness classes generated earnings of $2,249,000,
which was $115,000 or 5% less than last year, for this enterprise operated out of the Quinlan Community
Center, Monta Vista Recreation Center, McClellan Ranch, Creekside Park building, eight school sites, and
various parks. Ongoing program expenses, including full-time administrative and programming staff, part-time
activity leaders, and class instructors on contract decreased only $22,000 or 1% from 2008-09. Along with one-
time furniture purchases of $137,000, operating income dropped to $395,000 compared to $624,000 of a year
ago. After adding interest earnings, the fund ended up with an increase in net assets of $413,000 and an
unrestricted net asset balance of $2,355,000. This balance is committed toward future capital improvement and
insurance needs. Memorial Park softball and Library multi-purpose field renovations, park tennis court
resurfacings, and the new Monta Vista Recreation Center roof added $594,000 to capital assets this year.

DEBT ADMINISTRATION
The City’s only long-term debt liability comes from $56,640,000 in Certificates of Participation (COPs) issued
in 2002 by the Cupertino Public Facilities Corporation. The certificates refunded previously issued COPs that
financed the Wilson Park, Blackberry Farm, and Creekside Park purchases, the Memorial Park expansion, the
Quinlan Community Center construction, and the City Hall remodel. It provided capital for the new library
opened in 2004. The serial, fixed interest rate debt ranging from 2% to 5% requires annual debt payments of
$3,534,000 that are covered by the General Fund. The June 30, 2010 outstanding principal of $45,510,000 is
due to be paid off by 2030.

At June 30, 2010, a total of $35,000 in special assessment district debt was outstanding. This debt is secured by
a traffic impact fee, charged as a special assessment on the three commercial parcels in the district. The City,
which is not liable for the debt, acts solely as the district’s agent for the collection and remittance of the
assessment. The bond will be paid off in September 2010.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2010
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds$ (739,233)
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities
are different because of the following:
Capital assets transactions:
Governmental Funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of
activities, the cost of those assets is capitalized and allocated over their estimated useful
lives and reported as depreciation expense.
Expenditures for capital assets reported as:
Capital outlay4,710,360
Public works235,282
Easement received during the year975,820
Less current year depreciation(7,148,481)
Net effect of sales/disposal of capital assets(2,335)
Long term debt transactions:
Repayment of bond principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but in the
statement of net assets the repayment reduces long-term liabilities.1,460,000
Accrual of noncurrent items:
The amounts below included in the statement of activities do not provide or (require)
the use of current financial resources and therefore are not reported as revenues or
expenditures in governmental funds (net change):
Change in compensated absences(79,209)
Change in deferred revenue61,923
Allocation of internal service funds' activities:
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of activities, such
as insurance, equipment acquisition and maintenance, and employees' benefits to
individual funds. The portion of the net revenue (expense) of these Internal Service
Funds arising out of their transactions with governmental funds is reported with
governmental activities.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) 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/Engineering. 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
units, entities 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 units - 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 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 Cupertino Redevelopment Agency was formed in 2000 under the California Health & Safety Code
to assist in the elimination of areas considered to be in a blighted condition. The City Council acts as the
Board of Directors of the Corporation and the Agency. The Mayor and Vice Mayor of the City have
been elected President and Vice President, respectively, of the Corporation. The City Clerk has been
elected Secretary, and the City’s Director of Administrative Services has been appointed Treasurer of
both entities.
The Corporation does not issue separate financial statements, since it is reported separately in the City’s
basic financial statements. The Redevelopment Agency’s separate report is available from the City of
Cupertino’s website at www.cupertino.org.
(b) 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.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2010
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(b) Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation (continued)
Government-wide Statements - The Statement of Net Assets 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, except for fiduciary activities. These statements
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.
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 Assets 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.

(b) Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation (Continued)
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, liabilities, revenues or expenditures in
excess of ten 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:
TheGeneral 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.
ThePublic Facilities Corporation Debt Service Fund accounts for the payments of principal and
interest on certificates of participation issued to provide for the advance refunding of the City
Hall/Library, Wilson Park and Memorial Park certificates of participation.
TheCapital Improvement Projects Fund accounts for activities related to the acquisition or
construction of major capital facilities.
TheStevens Creek Corridor Park Capital Projects Fund accounts for the design and construction of
the Stevens Creek Corridor Park projects.
The City reports all its enterprise funds as major funds in the accompanying financial statements:
TheResources Recovery Fund accounts for activity related to the collection and disposal of solid
waste. A private company has been issued an exclusive franchise to perform these services.
TheBlackberry Farm Fund accounts for activities related to the municipal golf course.
TheCupertino Sports Center Fund accounts for the operation and maintenance of the Cupertino Sports
Center.
TheRecreation Programs Fund accounts for activities of the City’s community centers and park
facilities.
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; all of which are provided to other departments
on a cost-reimbursement basis.
Fiduciary Fund. The City acts as an agent for repayment of certain special assessment debt described
in Note 7. This fund accounts for the tax assessments used for bond payments.
CITY OF CUPERTINO
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2010
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(b) Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Basis of Presentation (Continued)
Basis of Accounting - The government-wide and proprietary financial statements are reported using the
economic resources measurement focus and the full accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded
whenearned 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
asexpenditures 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 deferred revenues are based on the
modified accrual measure.
Fiduciary financial statements consisting of agency funds, report only assets and liabilities, and
therefore have no measurement focus. They recognize receivables and payables on a full accrual basis.
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 taxes rebates which are contingent on revenues collected are netted against the related
revenues.
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 deferred 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.
Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989,
generally are followed in both the government-wide statements for the business-type activities and
proprietary fund financial statements to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict
guidance of GASB. Governments also have the option of following subsequent private-sector guidance
for business-type activities and enterprise funds, subject to the same limitation. The City has elected not
to follow subsequent private-sector guidance.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2010
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(c) 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. The City Manager is responsible
for controlling the City’s expenditures in accordance with the adopted budget. The City Manager is
authorized to transfer appropriations within functional expenditure classifications. Any revision which
requires transfers between functional expenditure classifications or 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.
(d) 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.
CITY OF CUPERTINO
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2010
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(e) Capital Assets
Capital assets are recorded at cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated
capital assets are recorded at their estimated fair 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:
Years
Buildings15 - 25
Improvements10 - 15
Vehicles4 - 10
Street equipment3 - 20
Water equipment3 - 50
Office equipment3 - 5
Road, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, medians and bridges30 - 40
Streetlights20
Storm drain structure and mains40
Traffic signals20
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.
(f) Land Held for Redevelopment
Land held for redevelopment of $615,000 at June 30, 2010 is stated at the lowest of historical cost, net
realizable value determined upon the execution of disposition and development agreement, or agreed-
upon sales price. The land was purchased using Federal grant funds for housing activities.
(g) 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.

(h) 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 Assets.
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 funds to account for termination
payouts.
The changes in compensated absences for the year ended June 30, 2010 were as follows:

(i) Fund Equity
Reservations of fund balances represent those portions of fund balances which are not available for
appropriation or expenditure or are legally restricted for a specific future use. Designated fund balances
represent management’s tentative plans for future use of financial resources.
(j) 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% 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.

(k) 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.
(l) 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.
(m) 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.
(n) Effects of New Pronouncements
During the year ended June 30, 2010, the City implemented the following GASB Statement:
In June 2007, GASB issued Statement No. 51, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Intangible
Assets. This Statement requires that all intangible assets not specifically excluded by its scope
provisions be classified as capital assets. Accordingly, existing authoritative guidance related to the
accounting and financial reporting for capital assets should be applied to these intangible assets, as
applicable. This Statement also provides authoritative guidance that specifically addresses the nature of
these intangible assets. Such guidance should be applied in addition to the existing authoritative
guidance for capital assets. The requirements of this Statement are effective for financial statements for
periods beginning after June 15, 2009.
With the implementation of GASB Statement No. 51, the City reevaluated its capital assets inventory
and determined that easements totaling $16,962,925 should have been capitalized as of June 30, 2009.
As a result, beginning net assets and capital assets for governmental activities have been restated to
correct this error and these balances were increased by $16,962,925.
The City is currently analyzing its accounting practices to determine the potential impact on the
financial statements for the following GASB Statements:
In March 2009, GASB issued Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type
Definitions. The objective to this Statement is to enhance the usefulness of fund balance information by
providing clearer fund balance classifications that can be more consistently applied and by clarifying the
existing governmental fund type definitions. This Statement establishes fund balance classifications
that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which a government is bound to observe
constraints imposed upon the use of the resources reported in governmental funds. Application of this
Statement is effective for the City’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2011.
CITY OF CUPERTINO
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2010
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
In June 2010, GASB issued Statement No. 59, Financial Instruments Omnibus. This statement updates
and improves existing standards regarding financial reporting of certain financial instruments and
external investment pools. Application of this Statement is effective for the City’s fiscal year ending
June 30, 2011.
(o) 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.
NOTE 2 – CASH AND INVESTMENTS
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 Assets and the balance sheet as “cash and
investments.”
(a) Policies
California Law requires banks and savings and loan institutions to pledge government securities with a
market value of 110% of the City’s cash on deposit, or first trust deed mortgage notes with a market value
of 150% 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. 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.

The City must maintain required amounts of cash and investments with trustees or fiscal agents under
the terms of certain debt issues. These funds are unexpended bond proceeds or are pledged reserves to

(e) Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an
investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair
value to changes in market interest rates.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City’s investments (including investments held
by bond trustees) to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the

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. As of June 30, 2010, the total amount recorded by all participating public
agencies in LAIF was approximately $23.3 billion. Of that amount, 94.58% was invested in non-
derivative financial products and 5.42% in structured notes and asset backed securities. These
investments had weighted average maturity of 203 days.
Money market mutual funds are available for withdrawal on demand. At June 30, 2010, money market
mutual funds in the pooled investment and held by fiscal agent had weighted average maturity of 51
days and 7 days, respectively.

(f) 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, 2010 for each investment type,
including those with fiscal agents, as provided by Moody’s ratings:

(g) 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 did not
have investments that represent 5% or more of total City-wide investments.
NOTE 3 – PROPOSITION 1A BORROWING BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
Under the provisions of Proposition 1A and as part of the 200910 budget package passed by the
California state legislature on July 28, 2009, the State of California borrowed 8% of the amount of
property tax revenue, including those property taxes associated with the inlieu motor vehicle license
fee, the triple flip in lieu sales tax, and supplemental property tax, apportioned to cities, counties and
special districts (excluding redevelopment agencies). The State of California is required to repay this
borrowing plus interest by June 30, 2013. After repayment of this initial borrowing, the California
legislature may consider only one additional borrowing within a tenyear period. The amount of this
borrowing pertaining to the City was $1,419,497.
This borrowing by the State of California was recognized as a receivable in the accompanying basic
financial statements. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, the borrowed tax revenues are not
permitted to be recognized as revenue in the governmental fund financial statements until the tax
revenues are received from the State of California (expected to be fiscal year 201213). In the
governmentwide financial statements, the tax revenues were recognized in the fiscal year for which
they were levied (fiscal year 200910).

The Cupertino Public Facilities Corporation issued Certificates of Participation to provide financing for
the construction of the Community Center, improvements of the City Hall and the Library in July 1986;
purchase 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 are scheduled to be sufficient in both time and amount, when the principal and interest
of the certificates are due.
On October 1, 2002, $56,640,000 principal amount of 2002 Refinancing and Capital Improvement Project
Certificates of Participation (2002 COPs), were issued to finance the costs of acquiring and constructing a
new public library and to refund the 1992A COPs, the 1992B COPS and the 1993A COPs (“Prior COPS”).
Payment of the principal and interest are insured by a financial guaranty insurance policy issued by Ambac
Assurance Corporation (Ambac). The reserve fund required for the 2002 COPs is funded with a
reserve fund surety bond issued by Ambac.
The 2002 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. In the event that
insufficient funds are available to make the lease payments, payments will be made from an
apportionment of moneys to which the City is entitled from the Motor Vehicle Licenses Fee Account in
the Transportation Fund of the State of California.

(b) 1915 Act Bonds Without City Commitment
The City acts as agent for the property owners of parcels upon which assessments were made for local
improvements. The City collects the assessments and forwards the collections to bond holders. The
City is not directly liable for the repayment of special assessment district bonds as such bonds and
interest payable are secured by fixed lien assessments on real property; however, the City has
determined that it is not probable that the government would assume responsibility for all or part of the
debt in the event of default. The amount of outstanding bond principal at June 30, 2010 was $35,000.
(c) Conduit Debt
On October 1, 2001, the City authorized the issuance of the Multi-Family Housing Revenue Bonds in an
amount up to $1.6 million to assist a developer in financing the cost of site acquisition and construction
of a 24 unit multi-family rental housing project. The bonds are payable solely out of loan repayments
received from the developer. The principal balance outstanding of the bonds and any accrued and
unpaid interest is due and payable on October 1, 2031. The City has no legal or moral liability with
respect to the payment of this debt. The amount of outstanding conduit debt principal at June 30, 2010
was $928,000.
NOTE 8 - NET ASSETS AND FUND BALANCES
Net Assets are measured on the full accrual basis while Fund Balance is measured on the modified accrual
basis.
Net Assets – The government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements utilize a net assets
presentation. Net assets are categorized as follows:
Invested in Capital Assets, net of related debt – This category groups all capital assets including
infrastructure, into one component of net assets. 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 assets that have 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. At June 30, 2010, the government-wide
statement of net assets reported restricted assets of $8,692,175 in governmental activities, of which
$153,585 are restricted by enabling legislation.
Unrestricted – This category represents net assets of the City that do not meet the definition of “invested
in capital assets, net of related debt” or “restricted.”
Fund Balances, Reserves and Designations - In the governmental fund financial statements, reserves
and designations segregate portions of fund balance that are either not available or have been earmarked
for specific purposes. The various reserves and designations are established by actions of the City
Council and City’s management and can be increased, reduced or eliminated by similar actions.

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(a) 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, 2010, 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.
(b) Lease Agreement with County of Santa Clara
The City has an agreement, expiring in 2019, to lease a building to the County of Santa Clara for the
purpose of providing library service to the City’s residents. The lease requires a minimum annual
payment of $120,000 adjusted for Cupertino’s portion of book circulation and increase of assessed
valuation. This is an operating lease with a renewable option. At June 30, 2010, the cost and carrying
value of the building which opened in October 2004, is $21,935,325 and $17,545,856 respectively, with
$4,389,469 in accumulated depreciation.
(c) Consulting Agreement for Sales Taxes Rebate
The City entered into agreements with two companies to provide services consisting of the assessment
and creation of new sales and use tax revenue sources for the City. The City agreed to pay the two
companies based on a sliding scale payment schedule dependent on the level of new sales tax revenue
realized by the City as defined in the consulting agreements. The agreements with the two companies
will expire by June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2012.

NOTE 10 - LIABILITIES UNDER SELF-INSURANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT
(a) General and Property Liability
The City is self-insured for the first $250,000 of general and property liability for each occurrence, and
the excess (up to $10,000,000 for each occurrence and annual aggregate) is covered through the City’s
participation in the Association of Bay Area Governments Pooled Liability Assurance Network (ABAG
PLAN). The risk pool consists of 31 agencies within the San Francisco Bay Area. The stated purpose
of the ABAG PLAN is to provide certain levels of liability insurance coverage, claims management, risk
management services, and legal defense to its participating members. ABAG PLAN is governed by a
Board of Directors, which comprises officials appointed by each participating member. Premiums paid
to ABAG are subject to possible refund based on the results of actuarial studies and approval by the
Board of Directors. Complete financial statements for ABAG PLAN may be obtained from their offices
at the following address: ABAG PLAN, Finance Department, P.O. Box 2050, Oakland, CA 94604.
Premiums are revised each year based on the City’s claims experience and risk exposure. For the year
ended June 30, 2010, the City paid ABAG PLAN premiums of $247,112.
(b) 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 consisting of
representatives of its member public entities. Complete financial statements for EIA may be obtained
from their offices at the following address: CSAC Excess Insurance Authority, Finance Department, 75
Iron Point Circle, Suite 200, Folsom, CA 95630. For the year ended June 30, 2010, the City paid
premiums of $43,278 to EIA.
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%, annual rate of return of 3%, claim severity increase at 2.5% were assumed. In the
current year, management used actuarial estimates based on an 80% confidence level.
Settlements have not exceeded insurance coverage in the past three years.
Changes in the balances of workers’ compensation claims liabilities during the years ended June 30,
2010 and 2009 are as follows:

NOTE 11 - DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN
(a) Plan Description
Substantially all City employees are eligible to participate in pension plans offered by California Public
Employees Retirement System (CALPERS), an agent multiple employer defined benefit pension plan
which acts as a common investment and administrative agent for its participating member employers.
CALPERS provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments and death
benefits to plan members, who must be public employees and beneficiaries. The City’s employees
participate in the Miscellaneous Employee Plan (Plan). Benefit provisions under the Plan are
established by State statute and City resolution. Benefits are based on years of credited service and
compensation. Audited annual financial statements are available from CALPERS at
www.calpers.ca.gov.
(b) Funding Policy
The contribution requirements of plan members and the City are established and may be amended by
CALPERS. The City is required to contribute at an actuarially determined rate. Based on the June 30,
2007 actuarial report, the Plan’s provisions and benefits in effect at June 30, 2010, are summarized as
follows:
Benefit vesting schedule5 years service
Benefit paymentsMonthly for life
Eligible retirement age50
Benefits, as a % of annual salary multiplied by
years of service and annual salary2% - 2.7%
Required employee contribution rates8%
Required employer contribution rates15.560%
The City covered 75% of the employees’ required payroll contributions for fiscal year 2010.
(c) Annual Pension Cost
CALPERS determines contribution requirements using a modification of the Entry Age Normal Method.
Under this method, the City’s total normal benefit cost for each employee from date of hire to date of
retirement is expressed as a level percentage of the related total payroll cost. Normal benefit cost under
this method is the level amount the employer must pay annually to fund an employee’s projected
retirement benefit. This level percentage of payroll method is used to amortize any unfunded actuarial
liabilities. The actuarial assumptions used to compute contribution requirements are also used to
compute the actuarially accrued liability. The City uses the actuarially determined percentages of
payroll to calculate and pay 100% of the required contributions to CALPERS. This results in no net
pension obligations or unpaid contributions.
Recent Annual Pension Costs, which equal the Annual Required Contribution to CALPERS, were as
follows:

rate of return on investments of 7.75%; (b) inflation of 3.00%; (c) payroll growth of 3.25%; and (d)
projected salary increases of 3.25% to 14.45% depending on age, service, and type of employment.
Changes in liability due to plan amendments, changes in actuarial assumptions, or changes in actuarial
methods are amortized separately on a close basis over twenty years. Market value fluctuations in the
actuarial value of plan assets are smoothed over 15 years. All gains and losses are tracked and
amortized over a rolling thirty year period.
(d) Funded Status and Funding Progress
CALPERS’ latest available actuarial data and funding progress are set forth below at their actuarial
valuation date as of June 30, 2008.
Actuarial accrued liability (AAL)$65,337,134
Actuarial value of plan assets54,571,233
Unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL)$10,765,901
Funded ratio (actuarial value of plan assests/AAL)83.5%
Covered payroll (active plan members)$11,009,984
UAAL as a percentage of covered payroll97.8%
The Schedule of Funding Progress, presented as Required Supplementary Information following the
Notes to Basic Financial Statements, presents multi-year trend information about whether the actuarial
value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liability for
benefits.
NOTE 12 - OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB)
(a) Plan Description
Permanent employees who retire under the City’s CALPERS retirement plan are, pursuant to their
respective collective bargaining agreements, eligible to have their medical insurance premiums paid by
the City. Retirees receive the amount necessary to pay the cost of his/her enrollment, including the
enrollment of his/her family members, in a health benefit plan provided by CALPERS up to the
maximum received by active employees in their respective bargaining unit.
The City contracts with CALPERS for this insured-benefit Plan established under the state Public
Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA). The Plan offers employees and retirees three
CALPERS’ self-funded plans, setup as insurance risk pools, or offers various third-party insured health
plans. The Plan’s 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 $1,202 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 annual financial report of CALPERS, inclusive of their
benefit plans, is available at www.calpers.ca.gov.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2010
NOTE 12 - OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB) (Continued)
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 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 may be obtained from PARS at 4350 Von Karman Avenue, Suite 100, Newport
Beach, CA 92660. A separate report for the City’s portion of the PARS Trust is available at the City’s
Finance Department.
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 CalPERS service, five years of which
must be from the City of Cupertino; and
The employee is eligible for retirement as defined under the CalPERS 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.
(b) Funding Policy
The contribution requirements to the OPEB Plan are established and may be amended by the City
Council. Based on the actuarial valuation date of January 1, 2009, the annual required contribution rate
is 16.93% of annual covered payroll. As of June 30, 2010, the City contributed $7,000,000 to the PARS
Trust and paid $616,760 through healthcare premium payments during the year to fully pre-fund OPEB
Plan. The City is planning to fully fund the Annual OPEB Cost in the future years.
(c) Annual OPEB Cost
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and
assumptions about the probability of occurrence of certain events far into the future. Examples include
assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined
regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject
to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made
about the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information
following the notes to the financial statements, presents multi-year trend information about whether the
actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued
liabilities for benefits.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2010
NOTE 12 - OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB) (Continued)
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 City’s actuary determined the City’s OPEB liability and contribution requirements using the Entry
Age Normal Actuarial Cost Method. The annual rate of return on future assets for benefit payments was
assumed to be 6% on a fully prefunded basis. Inflation of 3%, annual salary increases of 3.25%, City
contribution increases of 3.5%, and healthcare cost growth ranging from 10% initially down to 5% long-
term were also assumed. The Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability is amortized as a level percentage
of pay (assuming 3.25% per year growth in total payroll) over a rolling twenty year period. The
payment for a given year is expressed as a percentage of projected active member payroll for that year.
PEMHCA is a community-rated plan, where the same premiums apply for all plan participants
regardless of the presence or number of active employees. There is no implicit rate subsidy in the
premiums for pre-Medicare retirees.
The City’s annual OPEB cost and actual contributions to the Plan for the years ended 2010 and 2009 are
as follows:

INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS
The Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods or services provided by one
department 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

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.Source: City of Cupertino

COMMUNITY
PROFILE
NOTES
Cupertino owes its name and earliest mention in recorded history to the 1776 expedition led by the Spaniard, Don Juan
Bautista de Anza, from Sonora, Mexico to the Port of San Francisco to found the presidio of St. Francis.
Leaving the majority of the party of men, women, and children
in Monterey to rest from their travels, deAnza, his diarist and
cartographer, Petrus Font, and 18 other men pressed on through
the Santa Clara Valley in late March to their San Francisco
destination.
With the expedition encamped in what is now Cupertino, Font
christened the creek next to the encampment the Arroyo San
Joseph Cupertino in honor of his patron, San Guiseppe (San
Joseph) of Cupertino, Italy. The arroyo is now known as
Stevens Creek.
The village of Cupertino sprang up at the crossroads of
Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road (now DeAnza Boulevard) and
Stevens Creek Boulevard. It was first known as West Side; but by 1898 the post office at the Crossroads needed a new
name to distinguish it from other similarly named towns. John T. Doyle, a San Francisco lawyer and historian, had given
the name Cupertino to his winery in recognition of the name bestowed on the nearby creek by Petrus Font. In 1904 the
name was applied to the Crossroads and to the post office when the Home Union Store incorporated under the name, The
Cupertino Stores, Inc.
Many of Cupertino’s pioneer European settlers planted their
land in grapes. Vineyards and wineries proliferated on
Montebello Ridge, on the lower foothills, and on the flat
lands below.
After 1906 a lot more than grape growing was going on in
Cupertino. Orchards were thriving and new businesses were
being started. In the late 1940’s Cupertino was swept up in
Santa Clara Valley’s postwar population explosion.
Concerned by unplanned development, higher taxes, and
piecemeal annexation to adjacent cities, Cupertino’s
community leaders began a drive in 1954 for incorporation.
Cupertino rancher Norman Nathanson, the Cupertino –
Monta Vista Improvement Association, and the Fact Finding
Committee played important roles in this movement.
th
Incorporation was approved in the September 27, 1955 election. Cupertino officially became Santa Clara County’s 13
City on October 10, 1955.
A major milestone in Cupertino’s development was the creation by some of the city’s largest landowners of Vallco
Business and Industrial Park in the early 1960’s. Of the 25 property owners, 17 decided to pool their land to form Vallco
Park, six sold to Varian Associates, a thriving young electronics firm, founded by Russell Varian, and two opted for
transplanting to farms elsewhere. The name Vallco was derived from the names of the principal developers: Varian
Associates and the Leonard, Lester, Craft, and Orlando families.
Cupertino, with a population of 55,162 and city limits stretching across 13 square miles, is considered to be one of the San
Francisco Bay Area’s most prestigious cities in which to live and work.
Economic health is an essential component to maintaining a balanced environment, which provides high-level
opportunities, and services that create and help sustain a sense of community and quality of life. Public and private
interests must be mutual in that our success as a partnership is a direct reflection of our success as a community. The
cornerstone of this partnership is that of a cooperative and responsive government that provides an environment for
business and residential prosperity and fosters strong working relationships with all sectors of the community.
Our economic development strategies are tailored to address the specific needs of the community. As the City of
Cupertino is a mature city with over 90% build-out, our focus concentrates more on business retention and revitalization.
Business recruitment is site specific and targeted to industries that enhance, rather than draw from, our existing business
base.
As home to many well-known high-tech companies, Cupertino offers a dynamic and exciting business climate. Apple
Inc., Verigy, Durect Corporation, and ArcSight, are headquartered in the city. Hewlett-Packard and DeAnza College, one
of the largest single-campus community colleges in the country, are other major employers. Seagate Technology will
consolidate offices and relocate their headquarters into the city.
The City’s proactive economic development efforts have resulted in a number of innovative, mutually beneficial
partnerships with local companies. The City strives to retain and attract local companies through policies of balanced
growth and streamlined permitting.
The Vallco shopping center includes Macy’s, JCPenney, and Sears as anchors and features many exciting entertainment
and eating venues. Shoppers can enjoy the latest shows at the AMC 16-screen theater, skating at the mall’s full-size ice
rink, and bowling at the chic and upscale Strike Cupertino. They can begin or top off the evening with fine-dining at the
critically-acclaimed Alexander’s Steakhouse or enjoy more casual cuisine at TGI Friday’s, Benihana’s, Dynasty Seafood
Restaurant, Fresh Choice, and food court. The city features many other restaurants and stores to serve the local workforce
and residents.
Four hotels occupy the city, with three of them operated by Hilton, Marriott, and Kimpton Group.
The City of Cupertino has a history of providing high-level municipal services to complement the sense of community
and quality of life enjoyed by our constituents. The City will continue to enhance and promote a strong local economy to
provide municipal services that make Cupertino a place that people are proud to call home.
The City of Cupertino operates as a general law city with a City Council-City Manager form of government. Five council
members serve four year, overlapping terms, with elections held every two years. The council meets twice a month on the
first and third Tuesday at 6:45 p.m. in the Community Hall.
The City has 163 authorized full-time benefited employee positions. City departments include Administration (City
Council, commissions, city manager, city attorney); Administrative Services (finance, human resources, information
technology, city clerk, neighborhood watch, emergency preparedness, code enforcement); Community Development
(planning, building, and economic development); Parks and Recreation; Public Works (engineering, maintenance,
transportation, solid waste, and storm drain management); and Public and Environmental Affairs. Police service is
provided by the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Department, and fire service is provided through the Santa Clara County
Fire District.
Assisting the City Council are several citizen advisory commissions/committees which include housing,
telecommunications, fine arts, library, planning, audit, parks and recreation, bicycle and pedestrian, teen, economic
development, strategic planning, and public safety. Members of the volunteer boards are appointed by the City Council
and vacancies are announced so that interested residents may apply for the positions. Residents are kept informed about
city services and programs through the Cupertino Scene, a monthly newsletter; Cupertino’s government access cable TV
channel; The City Channel; and the city’s website.

Winner of numerous state and national awards for excellence, our
city’s schools are widely acknowledged to be models of quality
instruction.
Cupertino Union School District serves 16,500 students in a 26 square
mile area that includes Cupertino and portions of five other cities. The
district has 20 elementary schools and five middle schools, including
several choice programs. Eighteen schools have received state and/or
national awards for educational excellence.
Student achievement is exceptionally high. Historically, district test
scores place Cupertino among the premier public school districts in
California. The district is a leader in the development of a standards-
based system of education and is nationally recognized for leadership
in the use of technology as an effective tool for learning. Quality teaching and parent involvement are the keys to the
district’s success.
The Fremont Union High School District serves over 10,000 students in a 42 square mile area covering all of Cupertino,
most of Sunnyvale and portions of San Jose, Los Altos, Saratoga, and Santa Clara. The five high schools of the district
have garnered many awards and recognition based on both the achievement of students and the programs designed to
support student achievement. Four of five high schools in the district exceeded their state established achievement targets
for the 2009 Academic Performance Index. District students are encouraged to volunteer and/or provide service to
organizations within the community. During their senior year, if students complete 80 hours of service to a non-profit
community organization, they are recognized with a “Community Service Award” medal that may be worn during their
graduation ceremonies.
