To the Citizens of Cupertino, Honorable Mayor,
Members of the City Council and City Manager
It is our pleasure to submit the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the City of
Cupertino (the City) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. The Introductory Section includes
1) this transmittal letter, 2) an organizational chart, and 3) a list of principle officials. The
Financial Section includes 1) the independent audit firm's report, 2) a narrative section referred
to as Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), 3) the basic financial statements and
related notes, 4) required supplemental information, and 5) the combining financial statements
for non-major funds. The Statistical Section includes several tables of unaudited data depicting
the financial history of the City as well as miscellaneous statistics.
The City's annual report is prepared in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally
Accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as promulgated by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The report presents City information on an entity-wide
basis and on a more detailed fund level basis. The fund-level reports emphasize the City's major
funds. The MD&A presents a comparative analysis of current and prior year results, changes in
financial position, a comparison of actual versus budget, financial highlights, trends, and
disclosure of any known significant events or decisions that affect the financial condition of the
City. This transmittal letter is designed to complement the MD&A, and should therefore be read
in conjunction with it. The MD&A is required supplementary information and is found in the
Financial Section of the CAFR.
The accuracy of the data presented and the completeness and fairness of the presentations,
including all disclosures, are the responsibility of the management of the City. To provide a
reasonable basis for making these representations, management has established a comprehensive
internal control framework that is designed to protect the City's assets and provide sufficient,
reliable information for the proper preparation of these financial statements. We believe the data
is accurate in all material respects and is presented in a manner that fairly sets forth the City's
financial position. Furthermore, we believe that all disclosures necessary to enable the reader to
gain an understanding of the City's financial activity have been included.

REPORTING ENTITY
This Comprehensive Annual Financial Report includes all component units, funds and account
groups of the City. It reports all activities for which the City is considered to be financially
accountable. The general governmental funds provide a full range of services, including
planning, building, parks and recreation, public works, engineering, maintenance and general
administrative activities. This financial report incorporates data for the City of Cupertino, the
Cupertino Public Facilities Corporation and the Cupertino Redevelopment Agency.
The City operates under a Council-City Manager form of government. There are five council
members, including the Mayor, who serve four-year terms. The City Council appoints the City
Manager who is responsible for the daily administration of the City affairs. The City Council
also appoints the City Attorney and the City Treasurer. All other employees are appointed by the
City Manager.
FACTORS AFFECTING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
The City of Cupertino is located in Santa Clara County at the southern end of the San Francisco
Bay Peninsula. The City is comprised of 11 square miles and is bordered by the cities of San
Jose, Saratoga, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara and Los Altos.

Situated at the west end of Silicon Valley, Cupertino
has earned the reputation of a balanced community
with a healthy climate for business and well
maintained residential neighborhoods, community
parks and public facilities. The excellent reputation of
Cupertino's schools has been a major attraction for
families wishing to settle in close proximity to jobs in
the Santa Clara Valley. The City recognizes the
importance of quality school facilities and programs to
all Cupertino residents, and works in partnership with
the schools in many programs affecting education and
youth.
Cupertino is the world headquarters for major
corporations such as Apple Computer, Portal Software
and Syrnantec. Key divisions of Hewlett-Packard and
Borland Software are also located in Cupertino.
The City has eight large shopping centers including its own regional mall, Vallco Fashion Park,
which is undergoing a massive renovation.
v
The July 2005 Employment Development Department monthly survey showed that the Bay Area
added 26,600 jobs, led by the East Bay with 15,900 jobs and the South Bay with 900 jobs. The
gains are widespread and strong enough in the region to indicate sustainability of this through
2005. Construction, finance and insurance, telecommunications, health care, private education
and transportation have led the gains over the past year, with software, utilities and government
employment still showing weakness. The long suffering manufacturing sector has even added
jobs, especially in computers and electronics. A quarter of the job growth for the year has come
from construction, mostly in the commercial sector, and the City saw related evidence of this
with a doubling of building permit, planning and engineering monies coming to the City during
fiscal 2004-05 for recent and current development projects.
However a September 2005 Field Poll indicated growing consumer pessimism in California. Just
22 percent of registered voters in the State expected the economy to improve, down from 44
percent almost a year ago with 30 percent of voters expecting a worsening of the economy, up
from 14 percent a year ago. Inflation and rising fuel prices worried survey respondents with
nearly half of them concerned that inflation will become a problem, a level of concern not seen
since 1992. Economists are concerned that high gasoline prices could cause higher shipping costs
for retailers who would pass the costs onto consumers of food, clothing and household products.
Nationwide consumer inflation rose significantly by 0.9 percent in September 2005, led by
energy prices, following a 0.5 percent increase in August 2005. September consumer spending
rose 0.5 percent from the previous month. Nationwide personal income increased 1.7 percent in
September, the biggest rise since December 2004, fueled by insurance payments from hurricanes
Katrina and Rita. The overall U.S. economy grew at an upbeat 3.8 annual percent for the quarter
ending in September, however analysts believe that high energy prices and a reduction in auto
sales due to the end of generous buying incentive programs, will cause the growth rate to slow
down in the final three months of this calendar year.
The housing market is showing some signs of coming off the torrid sales pace and price
appreciation of recent years. The California Association of Realtors forecasts home sales in
California to decline 2% in 2006, with median home prices statewide to increase 10% next year,
which would be a falloff from the projected 16 percent increase of2005. This could affect future
property taxes and household sales driven by a strong housing market.
vi
SALES TAX TREND
Locally, sales taxes rose in 2004-05, breaking a three-year period of decline. Sales taxes rose
nearly 7%, led by increases in the business-to-business and oft'ice equipment sector, which
reached three-year highs in tax receipts. However, the general retail and transportation sectors
endured three-year lows in sales taxes. As a result, sales tax has become more concentrated in the
business-to-business at the expense of the general retail sector, with business-to-business
(mostly office equipment) comprising almost 54% of the sales tax base.

The renovation and expausion of Vall co Fashion Park is a key part of the future tax base. With
the recent extension of the development agreement, the securing of the ml!Jor anchor tenants and
the possibility of a new rna,jor hotel become more of a reality for the complex. The relocation of a
major grocery store to a former auto dealer site along with the retail development of the former
Rosebow1 site next to Vallco are other major economic projects that will help the City's revenue
base.
General retall comes in second at 25%. Busmess-to-busmess has historically been a more volatile
sector that foUows the ups and downs of the economy more closely than cousumer sectors such
as retail. Apple Computer, headquartered in the City, has become even more of a driving force in
sales taxes, with their hot roster of products such as the I·Pod definitely providing a benefit to
City revenues. However the competitive and innovative environment of products in that field and
the concentration of the tax base in that area brings up the need for the City to work on
diversiJYíng its sales ta,'{ base mto other business sectors.

DIJP1U'ÚillJilt FOlJlls - Efforts and AClJomplishments
Cupertino Rel:eives Helen Putnam Awards
In an effort to educate the community about the City's budget, the Parks and Recreation
Department developed a board game, Balance or Bust, to increase community awareness about
the budget process.
Often times residents lack an
understanding of what revenues come
to the city and what the city can do to
stTengthen its tax base. There is also a
general lack of knowledge about
what it costs to deliver basic services.
The challenge, then, was to design an
interactive exercise that would raise
the participants' budget literacy and
engage more residents in the budget
process.
Participants at a commnulty fonan
broke into groups and were faced with the challenge ofreçommending service cuts and balancing
the budget with decliulng revenues and increases in demand for services.
At the conclusion of the forum, residents had gained more insight into the challenges facing their
local government and the difficult choices city council has had to make.
The City also received an additional Putnam award i112004-05 with the "What's Your Vision?"
kits. The community Was asked to answer this question as we worked toward conseusus on how
to program the last 60 acres of park property along Steveus Creek.
The vision kits were created with the belief that giving participants appropriate tools and expert
support would allow them to reach consensus on the best way to use the property.
The cost to produce the kits was approximately $50 each and they were distributed nee. Each kit
contained an aerial photo, three 30" x 40" base maps, scaled templates for a variety of park
amenities, a circulation kit cousisting of liS" ribbon, yam and thread, a ruler, and background
information in printed and video form.
Approximately 320 kits were distributed to individnals and groups; 108 completed kits from 500
participants were returned.
At the conclusion of the visioning process, staff was able to take the best points nom the many
ideas received and craft a program for the park, which eventually won community support.
x
LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING
The City will continue to focus on a number of important long-term issues. These issues include
developing a long-term economic strategic plan, enhancing economic development efforts,
looking at partnership opportunities with our schools and other agencies, continued automation,
funding of the capital improvement program, and building up reserves for rising retirement and
insurance costs.
In order to assure that the City can maintain capital facilities and infrastructure as they age, and
can continue to conduct essential business while providing expected services to its residents, the
City prepares a five-year forecast for all funds, which is detailed in the annual budget. The
General Fund forecast assumes operating revenues still not keeping pace with operating
expenditures and debt service obligations by approximately $1.5 million per year, with one-time
revenues covering the shortfall in the next three years. The resulting deficit spending could
deplete the City's reserves by fiscal year 2008-09. A strategic plan to address these issues will be
presented in January 2006. The plan will propose both revenue enhancements and expenditure
program reductions that will accomplish a balanced budget that can meet the City's growing
facility maintenance needs, determine appropriate staffing for unsurpassed customer service and
provide funding for future capital projects.
Up to now, the City has been able to maintain its fiscal stability through prudent use of reserves,
proactive debt refinancing, aggressive pursuit of available revenues, and conservative fiscal
management. As the economy shows mixed signals in terms of inflation, employment, the
housing market, and economic growth, the City plans to increase its efforts in the area of
economic development, make the most of the Redevelopment Agency to improve utilization at
Vallco Mall, and collaborate with other local agencies to maximize resources and funding for
regional programs. As revenues are generated from additional mixed-use development, they will
accelerate the City's ability to avoid deficit spending, replenish its Capita11mprovement Projects
funding and fund other long-term reserves.
ACCOUNTING SYSTEM AND BUDGETARY CONTROL
The City's accounting records are maintained on a modified accrual basis of accounting for all
governmental fund types and agency funds. Under this basis, revenues are recognized when
susceptible to accrual, i.e., both measurable and available, and expenditures, other than interest
on long-term obligations which is recorded when paid, are recognized when the liability is
incurred. The accrual basis of accounting is used by the proprietary fund types where revenues
are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when incurred. In compiling the
government-wide financial statements, the accrual basis of accounting is used to report all of the
City's financial activities. Since the fund financial statements are still compiled using the
modified accrual method for governmental funds, a reconciliation report is provided to show the
changes between the two reporting methods.
Xl
In developing and evaluating the City's accounting system, consideration is given to the
adequacy of internal accounting controls. Such controls are designed to provide reasonable, but
not absolute, assurance regarding the safeguarding of assets against losses from unauthorized use
or disposition and the reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements and
maintaining accountability of assets. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the
costs of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and that the evaluation of
costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. The City's internal
accounting controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance of the proper
recording of financial transactions.
The City's budget is a detailed operating plan that identifies estimated costs and results in
relation to estimated revenues. The budget includes 1) the programs, projects, services and
activities to be provided during the fiscal year; 2) estimated revenue 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
level of budgetary control (i.e., the level at which expenditures cannot legally exceed the
appropriated amount) is the departmental level within the General and Special Revenue funds,
and the project level within the Capital funds.
Changes in Financial Reporting
The enclosed Notes to the Basic Financial Statements reflect the implementation of GASB #40
providing more investment information to help readers assess the credit quality of the City's
investment portfolio, to judge the portfolio's sensitivity to market interest rate changes, and to
judge the City's concentration of credit risk.
Cash Management
The City maintains a cash and investment pool for all City funds. The City's funds are invested
by the City Treasurer according to the investment policy adopted by the City Council. The
objectives of the policy are legality, safety, liquidity, diversity and yield. The policy addresses
soundness of financial institutions and the types of investments permitted by the California
government code.
The City investments may include obligations of the U.S. Treasury and Federal agencies,
commercial paper, banker's acceptances, corporate bonds, repurchase agreements, certificates of
deposit and the State Treasurer's Local Agency Investment Fund. Total investment earnings for
all funds were $0.9 million.
Risk Management
Risk management issues factor substantially in the City's long term financial planning. Whether
through partnership or self-insurance programs, the City strives to maintain sufficient assets to
pay expected losses, maintain funding stability to avoid substantial fluctuation in annual expense,
and monitor risk management policies and claim administration to mitigate future losses.
xii
The City maintains a program of commercial insurance combined with self-insurance for
substantially all of its governmental operations except for major construction projects and
contractor-supplied services. In such circumstances, insurance to protect the City is provided by
each contractor.
INDEPENDENT AUDIT
City Ordinance requires an annual audit of the financial records by an independent certified
public accounting firm selected by the City Council. The City's general purpose financial
statements were audited by Maze and Associates, and their opinion thereon is included in the
Financial Section of this report.
CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT
The Government Finance Officers Association ofthe United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded
a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Cupertino for
its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the year ended June 30, 2004.
In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a governmental unit must publish an easily
readable and efficiently organized Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, whose contents
conform to program standards. Such reports must satisfy both generally accepted accounting
principles and applicable legal requirements. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period
of one year only. We believe our current report continues to meet the program's requirements
and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
1 would like to express my appreciation to the City employees, City Manager, and the members

responsible manner. Special thanks go to the Finance staff - Dixie Farley, Tina Mao, Beth

To the City Council
City of Cupertino, California
We have audited the basic financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each
major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Cupertino as of and for the year ended June
30, 2005, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in the Table of Contents. These
basic financial statements are the responsibility of the City's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these basic financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States of America
and generally accepted government audit standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States of
America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining on a test basis evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated September 20, 2005 on our
consideration of the City's internal control structure and on its compliance with laws and regulations.
In our opinion, the basic 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 at June 30, 2005 and the results of its operations and the cash
flows of its proprietary fund types thereof and the respective budgetary comparisons listed as part of the basic
financial statements for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America.
Management's Discussion and Analysis is required by the Government Accounting Standards Board, but is not
part of the basic component unit financial statements. We have applied certain limited procedures to this
information, principally inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of this
information, but we did not audit this information and we express no opinion on it.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
The supplemental section listed in the Table of Contents are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are
not a required part of the basic financial statements of the City of Cupertino. Such information has been subjected
to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements, and in our opinion are fairly stated
in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
The statistical section listed in the Table of Contents was not audited by us, and we do not express an opinion on this
information.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (MD&A)
This is intended to provide an objective and easily readable analysis of the City of Cupertino's financial
perfonnance for the year. Please read it in conjunction with the accompanying Transmittal Letter and
Basic Financial Statements.
FISCAL 2004-05 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
A strong showing in building activities in the City brought in a healthy dose of development related
revenues to the City. An early payback of vehicle license fee (VLF) monies that the State had borrowed
from the City last year plus modest rises in sales and other taxes contributed to a healthy revenue picture.
All major revenue sources were either better on consistent with last year. Conversely the City maintained
a measured approach to restoring ongoing expenses that had been cutback in recent years, prefening to
build up reserves that could be drawn upon for capital improvements, future retirement costs, insurance
increases, State budget actions, and potential downturns in the economy. Financial highlights of the year
include the following:
· The City's total net assets increased $2.3 million during fiscal 2004-05. At June 30, 2005, net assets
totaled $121.7 million.
· Total City revenues, including program and general revenues, were $44.4 million, while total
expenses were $42.1 million in fiscal 2004-05.
· Net assets in Governmental funds were $115 million, while net assets in business activities were $6.6
million.
· Governmental program revenues were $8.1 million compared with $9.3 million in fiscal 2003-04.
· Governmental expenses were $34.4 million in fiscal 2004-05, compared with $34.8 million in the
prior year.
· Revenues from Business-type activities were $7.8 million in current year, compared with $7.4 million
from the prior year.
· Expenses of Business-type activities were $7.8 million in current year, compared with $6.5 million in
the prior year.
· General Fund revenues of $33.1 million represented an increase of $6 million from the prior year;
General Fund expenditures increased from $23.8 to $24.8 million in fiscal 2004-05.
· Actual expenditures in the General Fund were $3.6 million less than the final fiscal 2004-05 budget
primarily because of significant expenditure reduction efforts by City departments and management
under the direction of the City Council.
· Unreserved General Fund balance of $18.3 million at June 30, 2005 compared favorably with the
budgeted fund balance of $14.2 million.
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 financial position.
The City-Wide Financial Statements provide a longer-tenn 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 infonnation about the financial position of the City as a whole,
including all its capital assets and long-tenn liabilities. The Statement of Activities provides infonnation
about all the City's revenues and all its expenses, also on the full accrual basis, 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.
4
All of the City's activities presented are grouped into Governmental activIties and Business-type
activities, as explained below. All the amounts in the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of
Activities are separated in order to 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 general government, community development, public safety, public works,
culture-recreation, public improvements, planning and zoning, and general administration services.
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 enterprise activities are reported here, including solid waste
collection and disposal and the recreational operations of each of the City's various community
facilities. . Unlike governmental services, these services are supported by charges paid by users based
on the amount of the service they use.
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 and expenditures and fund
balances; they exclude capital assets, long-term debt and other long-term amounts. Because these
statements focus on the near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, such information may be
useful in evaluating near-term financing requirements.
The Fund Financial Statements provide detailed information about each of the City's most significant
funds, called Major Funds. Cupertino's Fund Financial Statements include governmental, enterprise and
internal service funds as discussed below. The concept of major funds, and the determination of which
are major funds, was established by GASB Statement 34 and replaces the concept of combining like
funds and presenting them in total. Instead, 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 the Financial Statements, present the detail of these Non-major funds.) Major Funds present
the major 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 abetter 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, as in
the past, 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 fmancial 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
5
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 the
City of Cupertino, the 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 required in the Major Governmental Fund
Financial Statements only for the General Fund and other Major funds that are Special Revenue Funds.
Since none of the City's Special Revenue funds are considered Major funds for financial statement
purposes, budgetary comparison statements for these funds are included in this document as supplemental
statements only.
Fiduciary Fund statements provide fmancial information about the activities of certain assessment
districts. The City acts strictly as an agent for these districts holding amounts collected from property
owners which await transfer 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.
Notes to the Financial Statements provide additional detail that is essential to a full understanding of the
information provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.
FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES OF THE CITY AS A WHOLE
This analysis focuses on the net assets and changes in net assets of the City's Governmental Activities
(Tables 1,2 and 3) and Business-Type Activities (Tables 4,5 and 6) presented in the City-wide Statement
of Net Assets and Statement of Activities that follow.

The City's net assets from govemmental activities increased $3,6 million or 3% from the prior year. This
Í11crease is the Change in Net Assets reflected in the Statement of Activities, as shown Í11 Table 2, and is
explained below:
. Cash and investments decreased $4.5 mi\!ìon, principally as a result of the disbursement of tùnds
to complete the new ¡¡brary.
.. Capits1 assets increased $4.2 minion primarily for the new library.
.. Restricted net assets decreased $0.1 million as various street and bridge projects utilized the
capital funds set-aside for this purpose.
.. Payments on the 2002 certificates of participation decreased long-term debt by $1.3 million.
" Other liabilities decreased $2.2 million as large capital project bills outstanding at the end of last
year were paid off.
.. Net assets invested in capital assets net of related debt increased $1.1 million representÍ11g
infrastructure improvements and City equipment purchases financed by govemment revenues and
reserves, rather than by debt.
.. Unrestricted net assets is the part of net assets that can be used to finance day-t¡¡..day operations
or reserved for certain purposes by the City Council, without constraints established by debt
covenants or other legal requirements. $21.2 million of unrestricted net assets existed at June 30,
2005, $2.6 million higher than a year ago.

As the Sources of Revenue chart above shows, $9.9 miUion, or 26% of the City's Fiscal 2004-05
revenues, came from other taxes, overtaking,sales taxes as the leading source m revenue. Trus category
rose significantly, $2.2 million, from the prior year hecause this was the first year that the City's received
property taxes that replaced the 0.25% portion of sales taxes that the State is using as security toward
repayment of its deficit recovery bonds, which was passed hy the voters Í11 2004. There was also a
significant increase in park dedication taxes. Other taxes also contaÍ11 transient occupancy taxes, utility
user taxes, francruse fees, and husiness Jícenses. In spite of the ioss of this 0.25%, sales taxes still rose,
increasing from $8.7 million to $9.2 million in 20114-05 due to growth in the business-t¡¡..business and
high tech sectors. It is the second largest category of rl'venues at 25%.
7
The Functional Expenses Chart above includes only current year expenses, which are discussed in detail
below. It does not include capital outlays, which are added to the City's capital assets. During fiscal
2004-05, the City added $4.2 million in governmental net capital assets, as shown in detail at Table II.
The Statement of Activities presents program revenues, expenses, and general revenues in detail. These
are all elements of the Changes in Governmental Net Assets summarized below.

Table 2 shows that total government revenues increased $3.7 million during fiscal 2004-05, driven by the
$2.7 million increase in sales and other taxes discussed previously. The rise in Motor vehicle in-lieu
(VLF) and other intergovernmental revenues reflects the payback to the City of $0.8 million in VLF that
the State did not remit to the City in 2003-04. The rise was tempered by $0.6 million in new ERAF
(Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund) monies that the State has taken from the City, the first of two
annual State takeaways that cities agreed to in exchange for the support and passage of Proposition I A in
8
November 2004, which protects cities from future state revenue raids. Charges for services prospered
from active commercial and multi-family housing development in the City, which helped bring in
noteworthy amounts of permit and plan check revenue.
Total governmental spending decreased by $0.4 million from fiscal 2003-04. Because of the changing
nature of charges of services, sales taxes and State fiscal actions, the City maintained a conservative
approach to governmental expenses in spite of the rise in revenues and as a result, the City's
governmental revenues in excess of expenditures climbed to $2.2 million at June 30, 2005, a turn around
from the $1.9 million deficiency a year ago. After $1.4 million in transfers from business-type activities,
for reimbursement of waste cleanup costs, debt payments on the 2002 debt issue, and funding for the
Stevens Creek Corridor Park project, overall net assets of governmental activities increased $3.6 million
during 2004-05, compared to a decrease of$1.8 million during 2003-04.
Table 3 presents the net cost of each of the City's largest programs-general government, public safety,
development and engineering, public works, parks and recreation, capital asset maintenance and
preservation, and interest on long-term debt. Net cost is defined as total program cost less the revenues
generated by those specific activities; it reflects the financial burden placed on the City's taxpayers by
each function.

· The total cost for all governmental activities this year was $34.3 million. The City's taxpayers
more than paid for of these costs through general revenues and charges for services ($34.7
million), setting aside about $0.4 million to replenish operating reserves that were utilized in the
recent economic downturn. Grants and contributions added $2.8 million to the reserves for
upcoming capital projects.
· Administrative costs comprise 4 percent of governmental services expenses, and include activities
of the City Council, City Manager and City Attorney. Administrative Services activities, which
include Finance, Human Resources, Information Technology, City Clerk, Code Enforcement and
Emergency Preparedness services, accounts for 11 percent of all governmental services. Net
costs in these areas were relatively unchanged from prior year.
· The City's costs for Law Enforcement, procured by contract with the Santa Clara County
Sheriffs Office, were partially offset by $0.7 million in various fines and reimbursements.
Because of a decrease in parking citations, fines, and grants in 2004-05, partially due to some one
9
time corrections from the State received in 2003-04, the City's net cost for law enforcement
increased by $0.5 million in fiscal 2004-05.
· Public Works expenses included Transportation, Engineering, Environmental Programs and the
maintenance of the City's streets, grounds and facilities. Also included are the costs of capital
improvement projects. Offsetting revenues this year include state grants, capital contributions,
environmental fees, facility rental, damage restitutions, and stonn drain fees of $1.2 million.
Because of the completion of large capital projects in early 2004-05, the construction portion of
public works funded by capital grants and contributions decreased, while the maintenance and
general engineering portion of public works remained, funded by general revenues such as
gasoline taxes.
· Community Development programs include Planning, Building and Housing Services. Because
of the boom in development fees for plan checks, building pennits and park dedication, net
revenues of community development activities climbed from $0.1 million last year to $2.7
million this year.
· Most of the costs of the City's Park and Recreation programs are reported as business-type
activities for which fees are charged to recover the costs of the programs. However, many
community events, programs and services are available to the public free of charge. The costs of
administering these general (governmental) activities are partially offset by facility rental fees,
which amounted to $0.2 million in fiscal year 2004-05.
· Interest on the long-tenn debt that was re-financed in 2002 was unchanged at $2.3 million.

cleanup, debt service, and the Stevens Creek Corridor Park capital project.

The implementation of a weekly recycling program, which involved a $1.2 million purchase of new
recycling containers, caused Resources Recovery program expenses and the associated net cost of
activities to rise by $1.1 million. Franchise fees remained unchanged. The commencement of a half
million-dollar payback from Resources Recovery to the General Fund for waste cleanup plus Recreational
Programs' higher contribution toward debt service on the 2002 financing for recreational facilities,
brought about a significant increase in transfers to governmental activities.

THE CITY'S FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Governmental Funds
At June 30, 2005, the City's governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $30.2 million,
which is a decrease of $2.1 million or 7% compared with the prior year. With the October 2004
completion and grand opening of the new library, the Library Construction Fund exhausted its $8 million
fund balance, while robust permit, charges for services, tax and intergovernmental revenues, plus a one-
time sale of land, combined with limited expenditure growth caused the General Fund balance to increase
by $5.6 million. Non-major fund balances increased $276 thousand, with the completion of the Civic
Center project and the kickoff of the Stevens Creek Corridor Park project.
The table below presents governmental fund revenues by source and the related changes for the prior
year. Governmental fund revenues rose $3.7 million or 11.2% this year to a new total of $37.1 million.
$2.0 million of the increase came in licenses and permits and charges for services, the outcome of a
banner year in building permit, planning and development fees. A $2.6 million increase in tax revenues
resulted from a $1.4 million growth in park dedication taxes from new City developments and increases
in sales, property tax, and transient occupancy tax receipts from an improving economy and booming
housing market. Other revenues of $1.7 million in 2004-05 include a $1.2 million sale of an Oak Valley
parcel, the completion of the community fund raising effort for the new library's furnishings and fixtures,
and funding for other capital projects.
These healthy results more than offset a $1.7 million decline in intergovernmental revenues. One-time
Proposition 12, CMAQ, HES, and State intergovernmental revenues declined due to the completion or
progression of the related capital project in fiscal 2003-04, such as the PortallWilson Park improvement,
the DeAnza traffic management system, the adaptive traffic signal control system, the Highway 280/85
ramp meter signal and the Mary Ave bicycle footbridge. This decline also reflects the first of two annual
State takeaways of tax dollars, a loss ofwruch cities agreed to in exchange for the support and passage of
Proposition IA in 2004-05, which protects cities from future state revenue raids. This decline would have
been worse had it not been for a repayment from the State of vehicle license fee revenues that the State
had borrowed in 2003-04.

Governmental fund expenditures decreased $9.2 million this year to $40.2 million, primarily from $10.2
million in less capital outlays due to the completion of the library and civic center projects during the
year. Community development costs rose $594 thousand or 23.3% because of the boom in building
permit and plan check revenue-generating work. Expenditures by major service area and the related
changes from the prior fiscal year are shown in the following table:

Proprietary Funds
Proprietary funds include the City's enterprise" and internal service funds. Entetprise funds are used to
account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business entetprise
where the intent is that the costs of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis
be financed or recovered primarily through user charges. Entetprise activities are included as business-
type activities in the City-wide Financial Statements, and each fund is considered a major proprietary
fund in the Fund Financial Statements.
Entetprise fund net assets totaled $6.6 million at June 30, 2005, a decline of $1.3 million from the prior
year. Entetprise operating revenues were $7.7 million this year, a 4% increase of$3ll thousand over last
year, while net non-operating revenues more than doubled from $95 thousand to $216 thousand this year.
Entetprise operating expenses were $7.8 million in 2004-05, up $\.3 million or 19% ITom the prior year.
Operating loss was $179 thousand in 2004-05 as opposed to an operating income of $777 thousand in the
prior year. Transfers out rose significantly to $1.4 million in fiscal 2004-05, up $1.2 million ITom fiscal
2003-04. Individual entetprise funds comprising this performance are discussed in the Entetprise Funds
portion of this MD&A.
Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of services provided by one department or
agency to other departments or agencies of the City on a cost-reimbursement basis. Because the services
are provided primarily to the general government, these operations are reported as part of government
activities in the City-wide Financial Statements. In essence, any income or losses that are related to an
internal service fund activity represent an adjustment of the expenses recorded by the various
governmental functions. The following table shows actual revenues, expenses (including depreciation)
and results of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

Resources are being accumulated in the Management Infonnation Systems fund (which received a
budgeted $120 thousand transfer in from the General Fund for new hardware purchases), and the
Equipment Revolving fund to provide for future replacement of existing equipment. The Workers'
Compensation fund expense for future and current claims was subsidized by a transfer from the General
Fund, resulting in net assets increasing from $9 thousand to $156 thousand at fiscal year end.
Maior Governmental Funds
General Fund
Revenues
General Fund revenues increased $6 million or 22% to $33.1 million this fiscal year, due to a robust year
in pennit and building fee revenues, gains in property, sales and transient occupancy taxes, and some one-
time payments in intergovernmental revenues and from a sale of property. The result exceeded the budget
by $4.1 million or 14%.
Licenses and pennits nearly doubled from $1.5 inillion in 03-04 to $2.9 million in 04-05. It exceeded
budget expectations by $0.9 million. Charges for services doubled from $0.6 million to $1.2 million and
surpassed the budget by $0.7 million. Implementation of a cost recovery fee system along with a boom in
commercial and residential building activity caused building pennit, inspection, zoning, planning, and
engineering review revenues to come in strongly this year.
The intergovernmental revenue surge was led by a $2 million increase in Motor Vehicle In-Lieu Fees
(VLF) over last year, the result of a repayment of what the State had borrowed and withheld from the City
in fiscal year 03-04 plus an additional correcting payment unrelated to the borrowing. These factors also
caused VLF to come in $1.2 million higher than budget.
Overall taxes came in 9% or $1.7 million over budget and 6% or $1.2 million over last year. Property
taxes were $0.5 million and $0.3 million over budget and last year, respectively. The real property roll
growth ended up at 9% for the year. Sales taxes were up $0.9 million or II % from budget and $0.6
million or 7% higher than last year. The City had budgeted a 4% sales tax decrease from last year, but the
business-to-business and high tech sector continued the growth that they were showing in recent years.
Transient occupancy taxes were $0.2 million or 14% better than budget and increased $0.2 million and
10% from last year, due to increased occupancy and room rates from increased business and leisure
travel.
The sale of one Oak Valley parcel plus a refund for the City's withdrawal from the Silicon Valley Animal
Control Authority caused other revenues to increase by $1.4 million over last year.
14
Use of money and property rose slightly by $0.1 million, up 14% from the previous year, but was below
budget by $0.2 million or 20%. Rising yields helped the portfolio, but a relatively conservative approach
to investments due to a staffing vacancy in the Treasury function kept the return below budgeted
expectations.
Expenditures
Fiscal 2004-05 overall expenditures, at $24.8 million were $1 million or 4% higher than last year's total
of$23.8 million. However this result came in 13% or $3.6 million under the final budget.
Law enforcement was under budget by $0.8 million or 12% due to the lower usage of general law
enforcement, service and emergency calls, patrol, and investigations.
Public works was $1.3 million under budget due to frozen vacant positions, lower spending on facilities
maintenance and repairs, and less than expected costs on library maintenance since the facility was closed
two days a week instead of being open all week. Grounds and park maintenance utility, materials, and
supplies costs were down due to a more wetter than nonnal season which required less water, fertilizer
and other supplies. Street lighting costs were lower due to relief in utility rates, fewer replacements of
light bulbs and the deferred removal and replacement of some older, rusted-out light fixtures.
The completion of the civic center capital projects resulted in net operating transfers out of the General
Fund decreasing from $3.7 million last year to $2.7 million this year.

Fund Balance
At June 30, 2005, the City's General Fund reported a combined ending fund balance of $22.2 million, up
$5.6 million from the prior year. Of the combined current year balance, $6.1 million represented
unreserved, undesignated balances, $12.2 million was designated for contingencies and future retirement
liabilities and $3.9 million was reserved for loans, purchase order commitments, advances to other funds,
affordable housing, and the public access television program.
The $3.9 million reserved portion is not available in liquid resources since it represents monies due the
City or specific future purchases. The $12.2 million designated by the City Council is not available for
new spending because it has already been committed for (I) operating expense contingencies, (2) long-
tenn actuarial liabilities of the City's retiree medical program, (3) fluctuations in the City's CalPERS
retirement rates, and (4) a buffer in times of future economic uncertainty. These are detailed (as with
other govenunental fund balances) in Note 7 to the Basic Financial Statements. The unreserved,
15
undesignated balance in the future may be designated for capital projects, for augmenting the retirement
reserves, or for building up the self-insurance reserves.
Public Facilities Corporation
This fund accounts for the payments of principal and interest on the 2002 certificates of participation
(COPs), the refinanced the long-tenn debt that funded many of the City's major parks and facilities. As in
the previous year, fund activity reflects General Fund and Proprietary Fund transfers that cover debt
service payments of $3.5 million.
Library Construction Fund
This fund accounted for the completed construction and furnishing of a new $21 million public library at
the City's Civic Center. The new 54,000 square foot, two-story library had a grand opening in October
2004. The project was funded through the issuance of the 2002 Public Facilities Corporation debt,
contributions from various residents and community groups, and a $476 thousand advance from the
City's Resource Recovery Fund. $120 thousand of the advance was paid-off by the General Fund this
year.
Other Governmental Funds
Non-major funds are not presented separately in the Basic Financial statements, but are individually
presented as Supplemental htfonnation. They include all the City's Special Revenue and Capital Project
funds, which account for revenue sources that are legally restricted to expenditure for specific purposes
such as streets and roads, parks, housing, stonn drainage, and the Redevelopment Agency. Street and
road expenditures of the Transportation fund this year was $1.8 million, with an ending fund balance of
$2.6 million, much of it eannarked for future capital projects such as the Mary Avenue pedestrian and
bikeway bridge over htterstate 280.
Enterprise Funds
Resource Recovery Fund
The Resource Recovery fund incurred one-time costs of $1.2 million in 2004-05 in order to implement a
weekly recycling pickup service. A new four-year payback to the General Fund for waste cleanup costs
began in the same year. Revenues were unchanged. As a result of these actions, the Recovery fund
experienced an $830 thousand decrease in net assets to $5.7 million, which is entirely unrestricted.
Blackberry Farm Fund
Blackberry Fann incurred an operating loss of $122 thousand in the current year, compared to $48
thousand in the prior year. Operating revenues were down to $1.2 million, compared to $1.3 million in
2003-04. Operating expenses were maintained at last year's total of $1.3 million. Net assets of this Fund
decreased $117 thousand to end the current fiscal year at $564 thousand, with $553 thousand of this
invested in capital assets, $11 thousand in unrestricted assets.
16
Cupertino Sports Center Fund
Revenues rose 17% or $200 thousand over 2003-04 mostly from increased memberships attracted by the
enhancements offered by the newly remodeled facility and from a fee increase in annual passes.
Expenditures rose $100 thousand or 7% over last year due to more instructors for the increased
enrollment in sports classes. The center had an operating loss of $67 thousand compared to $162 thousand
in 2003-04. After adding interest income onto the operating loss, net assets decreased $58 thousand, to
$221 thousand at June 30, 2005, with $203 thousand of it unrestricted.
Recreation Programs Fund
Charges for services increased 16% or $256 thousand over the prior year. A robust offering and
enrollment of cultural youth classes and sports programs contributed to this improvement. Operating
expenses rose about $100 thousand or only 6% over last year for additional instructors to cover the
increased class attendance. Income before transfers improved by nearly $176 thousand or 54% over last
year ending up at $504 thousand for 2004-05. With a transfer out of $888 thousand for 2002 COPs debt
service and Stevens Creek Corridor capital funding, the fund ended up with a decrease in net assets of
$384 thousand, leaving an ending net asset balance of $1 0 1 thousand, nearly all of it unrestricted.
Senior Center Fund
Expenses dropped 13% or $55 thousand to $438 thousand in 2004-05 while maintaining the same level of
service revenues from year-to-year. The center's goal is to operate on an overall break-even basis.
Vacation packages, memberships, and educational classes must run at a profit in order to cover salaries,
bingo, the newsletter, debt service, overhead and certain other senior center services. To achieve this, the
center reduced staff, newsletter costs, recreational trip costs, and computer classes.
CAPITAL ASSETS
At June 30, 2005 the City had $137 million, net of depreciation, invested in a broad range of capital assets
used in governmental and business-type activities, as shown in the table on the following page (further
detail may be found in Note 5 to the Basic Financial Statements):

parcel, sold for $1.2 million this year, had a cost of $600 thousand removed from the capital asset list this
year.
DEBT ADMINISTRATION
The City's debt issues are discussed in detail in Note 6 to the Basic Financial Statements. Unchanged
from last year, except for scheduled debt service payments, the City's debt comprise Certificates of
Participation (COPs) issued by the Cupertino Public Facilities Corporation, and is serviced by the City
through lease payments to the corporation. The total outstanding issuance at June 30, 2005 is $52.3
million.
At June 30, 2005, a total of $150 thousand in special assessment district debt was outstanding, issued by
one special assessment district. This debt is secured by a traffic impact fee, charged as a special
assessment on the real property in the district issuing the debt, and is not the City's responsibility. The
City acts solely as the District's agent in the collection and remittance of the assessment.
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK AND MAJOR INITIATIVES
The impact of the economic environment and a description of the City's major initiatives for the coming
year are discussed in detail in the accompanying Transmittal Letter.

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

Reconciliation of the
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS -- BALANCE SHEET
with the
STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
JUNE 30, 2005
Total fund balances reported on the governmental funds balance sheet
Amounts reported for Governmental Activities in the Statement of Net Assets
are different ITom those reported in the Governmental Funds above because of the following:
CAPITAL ASSETS
Capital assets used in Governmental Activities are not current assets or financial resources and
therefore are not reported in the Governmental Funds.
ALLOCATION OF INTERNAL SERVICE FUND NET ASSETS
Internal service funds are not governmental funds. However, they are used by management to
charge the costs of certain activities, such as insurance and central services and maintenance
to individual governmental funds. The net current assets of the Internal Service Funds are therefore
included in Governmental Activities in the following line items in the Statement of Net Assets.
Cash and investments
Prepaids
Capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation
Accounts payable and accruals
Accrued payroll and benefits
Noncurrent portion of claims payable
ACCRUAL OF NON-CURRENT REVENUES AND EXPENSES
Revenues which are deferred on the Fund Balance Sheets because they are not available currently
are taken into revenue in the Statement of Activities.
LONG TERM ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The assets and liabilities below are not due and payable in the current period and therefore are not
reported in the Funds:

Reconciliation of the
NET CHANGE IN FUND BALANCES - TOTAL GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
with the
STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2005
The schedule below reconciles the Net Changes in Fund Balances reported on the Governmental Funds Statement of
Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance, which measures only changes in current assets and current
liabilities on the modified accrual basis, with the Change in Net Assets of Governmental Activities reported in the
Statement of Activities, which is prepared on the full accrual basis.
NET CHANGE IN FUND BALANCES - TOTAL GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
($2, I 25,648)
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.
The capital outlay expenditures are therefore added back to fund balance
(Net of internal service fund additions of $54,399)
9,247,635
Depreciation expense is deducted from the fund balance
(Depreciation expense is net of internal service fund depreciation
of $5 I 2,270 which has already been allocated to serviced funds)
(4,845,791)
LONG TERM DEBT PROCEEDS AND PAYMENTS
Repayment of bond principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but
in the Statement of Net Assets the repayment reduces long-term liabilities.
Repayment of debt principal is added back to fund balance
1.245,000
ACCRUAL OF NON-CURRENT 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 revenue or expenditures in
governmental funds (net change):
Non-current portion of compensated absences
Deferred revenue
(190,099)
(68,249)
ALLOCATION OF INTERNAL SERVICE FUND ACTIVITY
Internal Service Funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities,
such as equipment acquisition, maintenance, and insurance 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,
because they service those activities.

(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 infonnation 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, Eliminations have been made to minimize the
double counting of internal 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, infonnation 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, (b) grants
and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital needs of a
particular program and (c) development fees which are considered capital grants under
California law. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes,
are presented as general revenues.
Fund Financial Statements: The fund financial statements provide infonnation 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 and enterprise funds are aggregated and reported as nonmajor
funds.
Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result ITom 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,

Basis of Accounting - The government-wide, proprietary, and fiduciary fund financial
statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the full
accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are
recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows
take place.
Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting, Under this method, revenues are
recognized when measurable and available. The City considers all revenues reported in
the governmental funds to be available if the revenues are collected within sixty days
after year-end, Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred,
except for principal and interest on long-tenn debt which are recognized as expenditures
to the extent they have become due and payable. General capital asset acquisitions are
reported as expenditures in governmental funds, Proceeds from long-tenn debt and
acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing sources,
Property taxes, utility taxes, franchise taxes, interest and special assessments are
susceptible to accrual. Sales taxes collected and held by the state at year end on behalf of
the City are also recognized as revenue. Other receipts and taxes are recognized as
revenue when the cash is received.
Grant revenues are recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements are
met. Under the tenns of grant agreements, the City may fund certain programs with a
combination of cost-reimbursement grants, categorical block grants, and general revenue.
Thus, both restricted and unrestricted net assets may available to finance program
expenditures. The City's policy is to first apply restricted grant resources to such
programs, followed by general revenues if necessary.

(7) 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 - Net Assets is the excess of all the City's assets over all its liabilities, regardless of
fund. Net Assets are divided into three captions under GASB Statement 34, These captions
apply only to Net Assets, which is detennined only at the Government-wide level, and are
described below:
Invested in Capital Assets, net of related debt describes the portion of Net Assets which is
represented by the current net book value of the City's capital assets, less the outstanding balance of
any debt issued to finance these assets.
Restricted describes the portion of Net Assets which is restricted as to use by the tenns and
conditions of agreements with outside parties, governmental regulations, laws, or other restrictions
which the City cannot unilaterally alter. . These principally include developer fees received for use
on capital projects, debt service requirements, and redevelopment funds restricted to low and
moderate income purposes.
Governmental fund balances represent the net current assets of each fund, Net current assets
generally represent a fund's cash and receivables, less its liabilities. Portions of a fund's balance
may be reserved or designated for future expenditure,
Fund Balances, Reserves and Designations - In the Fund financial statements, fund balances
represent the net current assets of each fund. Net current assets generally represent a fund's cash
and receivables, less its liabilities, Portions of a fund's balance may be reserved or designated
for future expenditure.
The unreserved fund balances include amounts which have been internally designated to be set
aside and are not considered to be available for immediate appropriation. The components of the
unreserved fund balance for the Governmental Funds at June 30, 2005 are as follows:

(a) New. closed and renamed funds
The City renamed the Gas Tax Special Revenue Fund and the Four Seasons Capital
Project fund to the Transportation Special Revenue Fund and the Cali Mill Plaza Capital
Project Fund, respectively.
In fiscal 2005 the City started the Stevens Creek Corridor Park Capital Project Fund and
closed the Sports Center Building Capital Project fund.
(8) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
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, 2005, 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.
(9) LIABILITIES UNDER SELF-INSURANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The City is self-insured for the first $100,000 of general and automobile liability for each
occurrence, and the excess (up to $10,000,000) is covered through the City's participation in the
Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) general liability risk pool. The pool consists of
31 agencies within the San Francisco Bay area. The stated purpose of the ABAG pool is to
provide certain levels of liability insurance coverage, claims management, risk management
services, and legal defense to each participating city within the pool. Each city was required to
make an initial deposit premium based on an actuarial study of each City's risk exposure. The
premium consists of a risk portion and administrative portion. The premium is revised each year
based on claims experience and risk exposure. Complete financial statements for ABAG plan
may be obtained from their offices at the following address: ABAG Plan Corporation, Finance
Department, P.O. Box 2050, Oakland, CA 94604,
In January 2004, the City joined the California Public Entity Insurance Authority (CPEIA), 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 $100,000,000 limit. CPEIA was
established in 2001 for the purpose of creating a risk management pool for all California public
entities. CPEIA is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of representatives of its member
public entities,
During the fiscal year 2003/04, an outside independent actuary performed a two-year analysis of
the City's workers' compensation program. The resulting unpaid claims liability recorded by the
City includes those based on existing open claims plus those estimated on an incurred but not
reported basis. Allocated loss adjustment expenses, such as fees paid to outside attorneys, were
also considered, .

Due to the passage of the Small Business Job Protection Act (Act) of 1996, and the issuance of
Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 32 "Accounting and Financial
Reporting for Internal Revenue Code Section 457 Deferred Compensation Plans," governmental
entities who have established deferred compensation plans under Internal Revenue Code Section
457 are required to establish trusts to hold plan assets for the exclusive benefit of plan
participants and their beneficiaries. This Act supercedes previous regulations, which required
that plan assets remain the property of the City until paid or made available to the participants,
subject only to the City's general creditors. In compliance with the new regulations, the City
established separate trusts to hold plan assets, The value of assets held in trust under Section 457
deferred compensation plans is approximately $9,898,20 I as of June 30, 2005, These assets have
been excluded from the financial statements.
(12) DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN
(a) Plan Description
The City of Cupertino's defined benefit pension plan provides retirement and disability
benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and
beneficiaries, The plan is part of the Public Agency portion of the California Public
Employees Retirement System (CalPERS), an agent multiple-employer plan administered
by CaIPERS, which acts as a common investment and administrative agent for
participating public employers within the State of California,
A menu of benefit provisions as well as other requirements are established by State
statutes within the Public Employees' Retirement Law. The City selects optional benefit
provisions from the benefit menu by contract with CalPERS and adopts those benefits
through local ordinance, CalPERS issues a separate comprehensive annual financial
report. Copies of the CalPERS' annual financial report may be obtained from the
CalPERS Executive Office, 400 P Street, Sacramento, CA 95814,
(b) Funding Policv
Active plan members are required to contribute 7% of their annual covered salary, which
is paid by the City on behalf of the employee. The City is required to contribute the
actuarially determined remaining amounts necessary to fund the benefits for its members.
The actuarial methods and assumptions used are those adopted by the CalPERS Board of
Administration. The required employer contribution rate for fiscal year 2004/05 was
8.315%. The contribution requirements of the plan members are established by State
statute and the employer contribution rate is established and may be amended by
CalPERS. .

(c) Annual Pension Cost
The required contribution for fiscal year 2004/05 was detennined as part of the June 30,
2002 actuarial valuation using the entry age nonnal actuarial cost method with the
contributions detennined as a percent of pay. The actuarial assumptions included a)
8.25% investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses); b) projected salary
increases that vary by duration· of service ranging from 3.75% to 14,20% for
miscellaneous members and c) no cost-of-living adjustment, Both (a) and (b) include an
inflation component of 3.5% and a payroll growth of 3,75%. The actuarial value of the
City of Cupertino's assets was detennined using a technique that smoothes the effect of
short-tenn volatility in the market value of investments over a three year period. The
City of Cupertino's overfunded actuarially accrued liability is being amortized as a level
percentage of projected payroll on a closed basis. The average remaining amortization
period at June 30, 2005 was 3 years.

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
with outside parties. For the Statement of Activities, the net revenues and expenses of each internal
service fund are eliminated by netting them against the operations of the City departments that generated
them, The remaining balance sheet items are consolidated with these same funds in the Statement of Net
Assets. However, internal service funds are still presented separately in the Fund Financial Statements.
Management Information Systems - Accounts for the activities related to the maintenance and
replacement of the City's technology infrastructure.
Workers' Compensation - Accounts for the activities in support of the self-insured workers'
compensation program.
Equipment Revolving - Accounts for the activities related to the maintenance and replacement of
the City's vehicle fleet.
Long-Term Disability - Accounts for the activities related to the City's program for long term
disability,

FIDUCIARY FUNDS
Fiduciary Funds include all agency funds that account for assets held by the City as an agent for
individuals, private organizations, other governmental units and/or other funds.
All Agency Funds, representing all fiduciary funds of the City, are custodial in nature and do not involve
measurement of results of operations. Such funds have no equity since any assets are due to individuals
or other entities at some future time.
These funds are presented separately from the Governmental and Fund Financial Statements,

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 Nonnan Nathanson, the Cupertino - Monta
Vista Improvement Association, and the Fact Finding
Committee played important roles in this movement.
Incorporation was approved in the September 27, 1955 election. Cupertino officially became Santa Clara County's 13th
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 fonn Vallco
Park, six sold to Varian Associates, a thriving young electronics finn, founded by Russell Varian, and two opted for
transplanting to fanns elsewhere, The name Vallco was derived ¡¡-om the names of the principal developers: Varian
Associates and the Leonard, Lester, Craft, and Orlando families,
