Independent Auditor’s Report
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of the Pedestrian/Bicycle Facilities Grant (Grant) made
to the City of Cupertino, California (the City), by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission,
Transportation Development Act Funds, Article III as of June 30, 2010, and the related statement of
revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance for the year then ended. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the City’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 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 the Grant’s 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 opinion.
As described in Note 1, the financial statements present only the activities of the Grant and do not purport
to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2010, and changes in its
financial position for the fiscal year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Grant made to the City by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission,
Transportation Development Act Funds, Article III as of June 30, 2010, and the changes in financial
position thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
November 17, 2010 on our consideration of the City’s internal control over the Grant’s financial reporting
and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant
agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of
internal control over the Grant’s financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not
to provide an opinion on the internal control over the Grant’s financial reporting or on compliance. That
report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and
should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the Grant’s basic financial statements.
The supplementary information listed in the table of contents is presented for purposes of additional
analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information 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.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission,
the City Council and City management and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other
than these specified parties.

of the City of Cupertino (City) for Pedestrian/Bicycle Facilities Grant projects funded under the
Transportation Development Act of 1971 (TDA) Article III of the State of California, which
include the construction of pedestrian and bicycle paths. The financial statements do not purport
to present the financial position or changes in financial position of the City. The projects
represent a portion of the activities of the City and, as such, are included in the City’s basic
financial statements.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)Basis of Presentation
The projects are accounted for as part of the Mary Avenue Bicycle Footbridge Capital
Project Fund of the City, which is a governmental fund and is included in the City’s basic

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the modified accrual basis
of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, expenditures are recorded

become measurable and available (received within 60 days after year-end.)

Cash has been advanced to the Pedestrian/Bicycle Facilities Grant projects for
expenditures paid by the City’s capital projects fund for the benefit of the TDA Article III
projects. The projects are obligated to immediately repay these advances upon
reimbursement.

assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

Independent Auditor’s Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters
Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with
Government Auditing Standards and the Transportation Development Act
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of the Pedestrian/Bicycle Facilities Grant (Grant) made
to the City of Cupertino, California (the City), by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission,
Transportation Development Act Funds, Article III as of June 30, 2010, and the related statement of
revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance of the year then ended, and have issued our report
thereon dated November 17, 2010. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits
contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City’s internal control over the Grant’s financial
reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on
the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
City’s internal control over the Grant’s financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on
the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over the Grant’s financial reporting.
Adeficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or
detect misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of
deficiencies in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of
the Grant’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the
first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control over
financial reporting that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not
identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material
weaknesses, as defined above.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Grant’s financial statements are free of
material misstatement, we performed tests of the City’s compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, including the applicable statutes, rules and regulations of the
Transportation Development Act, including Section 6666 of Title 21, of the California Code of
Regulations, and the allocation instructions and resolutions of the Metropolitan Transportation
Commission, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of
financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not
an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests
disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under
Government Auditing Standards or the Transportation Development Act.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission,
the City Council, City management and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than
these specified parties.
