3. PUBLIC STATEMENTS
4. NEW BUSINESS
A. Discussion and Committee recommendation regarding Bakersfield Senior Housing Project
on Fourth Street and CDBG/HOME/Housing Set Aside financial assistance
EConomic/Community Development Director Donna Kunz explained that this request is for an additional
$280,000 bringing the applicants total request to $560,000. CHDO funds are available for the first
request for $280,000 to build 80 Iow-income units of housing for seniors. The applicants are now
requesting an additional $280,000 for acquisition of adjoining lots to shift the project 110 feet north. This
shift will allow the exiSting recreation building, after school programs and parking lot to remain.
Staff has met with the applicants and is recommending positive consideration of the extra land purchase;
however, all of the HOME allocations for next year are pre-committed, so we do not have a budget on
hand to accommodate this request in the form of a cash grant. Staff requested the Committee's
concurrence to work with the applicants to structure some kind of financing plan (a note or loan) to allow
them to proceed and then phasing the funding when it is available.
Mr. Lynn Edwards and Mr. Vernon Strong spoke regarding their project. The Bakersfield Senior Center
and Retirement Housing Foundation, co-applicants, received their entitlement for a HUD Section 202
grant award of $6.75 million in November 2000. Time is an issue as HUD established a .time frame of
18 months for the project to be completed.
AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
Monday, February 5, 2001
Page.-2-
The Committee unanimously approved allocating $280,000 of CHDO funds for the Bakersfield Senior
Housing Project and directed staff to meet with the applicants to assist them in working out some type
of financing for the additional $280,000 being requested. When completed, the Committee directed staff
to prepare and forward the documents to the City Council.
B, Discussion and Committee recommendation regarding amendment to KCEOC Agreement/
CDBG Action Plan
On December 13, 2000, the City Council approved an agreement with Kern County Economic
Opportunity Corporation (KCEO. C) for $255,000 for acquisition of an 18 acre parcel on Washington Street
and Feliz Ddve. The property has been annexed to the City and escrow will be closing in two to three
weeks.
This amendment 'is for the second installment approved by the Council last year as part of the Action
Plan, which provides $275,000 of additional CDBG funds toward the design, engineering and construction
of the facility. Approval of this amendment will keep the project moving forward. It was noted that the
City's Property Manager is working with-KCEOC on their relocation, as it will free up-the current lOcation
for additional Centennial Garden parking.
The Committee unanimously approved the amendment, which will increase the agreement to $530,000.
Staff was directed to complete the amendment to the agreement and forward to the Council for approval.
C. Discussion and Committee recommendation regarding request received from Bethany
Services for the City to.consider transferring ownership of the.Bakersfield Homeless Center,
1600 E. Truxtun Avenue, to Bethany Services
The City received a request from Bethany Services to transfer the ownership of the Bakersfield Homeless
Center to them. In 1990, Bethany Services, a non-profit corporation, entered into a lease agreement with
the City to lease the Homeless Center from the City for an annual rent of $1.00 for the purpose of
providing food, emergency shelter and transitional services to the homeless.
Mr. Louis Gill spoke regarding their request. Bethany Services would like to have ownership of the facility
in order to purchase land and expand the facility to accommodate the increase of single women with
children and families by providing larger segregated areas. Ownership of the property would allow them
to obtain financing for.the expansion and establish-a line of credit for operating expenses.
Economic Development Director Donna Kunz stated that staff is recommending approval of their request,
but recommended covenants or restrictions be added to the deed because the original source of funding
was block grants that are .restricted to Iow and moderate individuals, and services for the .homeless were
allowed.
Mr. Gill stated that-the loan they will be applying for has some of the same restrictions and their long-term
plans are to provide services to the homeless.
The Committee unanimously approved Bethany Services' request to convey ownership of the Bakersfield
Homeless Center property to them, but directed staff to meet with Bethany Services staff'and their bank
lenders to work out language that will allow approval of their loan, continued use as a homeless center
and an equity share provision on any future sale of the property. After the details are work out, staff was
directed to prepare and forward the documents to the City Council.

D. Discussion and Committee recommendation regarding-request from Bruce Dolgin for
Conditional 'Use Permit exception to.operate Sno-Shack shaved ice kiosks in C-1 zones
Mr. Bruce Dolgin spoke regarding his request to continue operating his Sno-Shack shaved ice kiosks in
a C-1 zone. Last year, he thoughtthe ordinance had been. changed to allow operating in a C-1 zone as
stated in the first reading, but at the second reading of the ordinance, it was changed to a C-2 (which
corrected an error). Due to the confusion, the City issued a temporary conditional use permit for last year
so hecould operate at two.Rite Aid locations, which were received well and very successful. Although
his business falls under a transient business with the City, he feels his business locations are established
over a Iong-term,and he would like to see a change in the ordinance to allow him to continue operating
his two locations in the C-1 zone.
Staff explained that Transient Outdoor Businesses are allowed to operate in C-2 or less restrictive zones
and when the term ofthe ordinance was changed from 90 to 180 days, it was always intended that it
remain in a C-2 zone. However, due to the confusion between the first and second reading' of the
ordinance and to resolve the situation last season, Mr. Dolgin was granted, at no cost to him, two 180-
day Conditional Use Permits (CUPs) that expired at the end of October. A CUP could be issued that
would allow Mr. Dolgin to keep operating his two sites in their present C-1 zone, with notification to
residents within 300 feet of the site. However, it is very expensive, $1,325 per location.
The Committee did not want to impair the integrity of the zoning ordinance or go through the process of
amending the ordinance. Due to the original confusion, the Committee recommended that Mr. Dolgin
reapply for the CUP's and that the City absorb half of the cost. Mr. Dolgin agreed with the
recommendation. The Committee unanimously approved the recommendation and directed staff to
follow through with Mr. Dolgin.
E. Committee discussion and adoption of 2001 Budget and Finance Committee meeting
schedule.
The Committee unanimously adopted the calendar, with the provision that if scheduling conflicts occur,
meetings can be canceled.and rescheduled at the direction of the Committee Chair.
F. Committee-review and recommendation on financial and audit reports:
1. Comprehensive Annual-Financial Report (CAFR)
(This item has previously been approved by the Council to meet legal reporting dates.)
Finance Director Gregory Klimko briefed the Committee. It was noted that the format of the
CAFR will be changing dramatically due -to the implementation of GASB 34 (Government
Accounting Standards Board) to put government entities on more of a measurable basis with
private business. The reporting will stay the same for the coming year, but will change format
for FY 2001-02. Committee Chair Maggard stated it was discussed a year ago the possibility
of changing the governmental fund accounting method that we use on accounting for
Centennial Garden activities. The Finance Director explained that with the implementation of
GASB 34 a year from now, it will be presented differently, more of an enterprise fund -
propriety fund accounting. However, when this new accounting format is implemented, there
will .be a downside as it will make it appear in the General Fund like it has huge losses, when
in fact it balances every year.

The Committee unanimously accepted the audit report as filed.
2, Centennial Garden Financial Statements
(This item has previously been approved by the CounCil to meet legal reporting dates.) The
Finance Director gave an overview of the financial operations of the Garden. The financial
picture, which does not include the debt service or depreciation, is improving every year. The
Convention Center operated with losses every year. With the opening of Centennial Garden
and contracting with,professional management (currently SMG), the net loss for last year was
$227,000; net loss the pr. ior year was $594,000, the year before with City'management of the
Convention Center the operating loss was $1,137,000, for an improvement of approximately
$900,000.
Committee-Chair Maggard stated he-has concerns that in .the City's financial statement we
don't match the debt service payment against the revenues from the operation of .the Center.
It was discussed that there are revenues attributable to the Garden, as the City can now book
many large events, that a financial statement does not articulate, such as Transient
Occupancy Tax generated, sales tax, nearby redevelopment opportunities, visitors to local
restaurants and retail shops, and other revenues that are not quantifiable.
Committee Chair Maggard stated that perhaps it would serve to have a memo for reference to
answer questions that could show the financial progress the City has made .to lower the deficit or
a spreadsheet, and show some of the other benefits the City receives. It was discussed that the
City has not had a year since the Garden was constructed in which the City did not adjust the size
of staff to deal with increased population, there have been no cutbacks or restrictions in normal
business activities and the Garden was absorbed without detriment to any City operations.
The Committee unanimously accepted the audit report as filed.
3. 'Independent Auditor's Report on Compliance with Contractual Requirements relative to
the Bakersfield Subregional Wastewater .Management Plan for FY ended June 30, 2000.
This is a compliance audit which is required as part of an agreement between the City and the
County service agencies. It provides a measurement that the City is in compliance with the
.. Wastewater.Management Plan. 'fhe.Committee unanimously accepted the audit report and itwas
forwarded to the Council.
4, lggg-00 Transportation Development Act Funds Financial Statements
Public Works staff gave a brief overview. Kern COG contracts with an accounting firm to provide
a compliance audit of all the agencies that receive Transportation Development Act Funds. This
includes Article 3 and Article 8 funds. It was noted that Article 3 money can be applied for every year
and used,for the Bike Path, which has been done in the past, and Article 8 money is-being used for
maintenance atthe Amtrak Station. The Committee unanimously accepted the audit report and it
was forwarded to the Council.

ECONOMIC IMPACT ANALYSIS
OF THE
LOS ANGELES COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART
AND T~V~
VAN GOGH'S VAN GOGHS EXHIBITION
Prepared by
Morey and Associates, Inc.
August' 18, 1999
LACMA ECONOMIC IMPACT ANALYSIS
FY 1997-98 AND FY 1998-99
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art commissioned Morey and Associates to
conduct an economic impact analysis of LACMA on Los Angeles County for FY 1998-99
and to particularly assess the impact of the Van Gogh exhibition. Estimates in this analysis
are based on data supplied by LACMA and the Los Angeles Convention and Visitors
"Bureau, as well as on data obtained in a survey of visitors to LACMA conducted in August
1998 and during January-April 1999.'
The economic contribution of LACMA on Los Angeles County was determined
using an input-output model of Los Angeles County constructed specifically for this study.
'This model uses a conservative approach to determine output, income, jobs and taxes
resulting from: visitor expenditures at LACMA, expenditures elsewhere in Los Angeles
.County by visitors to the Museum, and expenditures'by the Museum from nonvisitor
revenues. All expenditures and revenues which are deemed substitutable are not included
· in .the overall economic impact figures because these expenditures and revenues would
occur with or without LACMA.
VISITORS
Attendance
LACMA had attendance of 1,330,000 in FY 1998-99 which was an increase of 775,976
over the previous year. This increase is attributed to the Van Gogh exhibition Which
brought 821,000 visitors to LACMA.
Visitor Origin
44% of all visitors to the Van Gogh exhibition were from Los Angeles County, 30% were
from other areas of southern California, 11% were from northern California, 13% were
from the U.S. outside of California, and I% were from outside the U.S.
Decision to Visit
90% of visitors to the Van Gogh exhibition decided to visit LACMA before their arrival in
Los Angeles and among those, 94% said the Van Gogh exhibition was a reason for coming
to Los Angeles County.
Advertising
92% of visitors to the Van Gogh exhibition saw advertising for LACMA prior to their ..
visit, and 78% specifically recalled advertising for the Van Gogh exhibition.
EXPENDITURES
Combined expenditures of resident and non-resident visitors to LACMA during the Van
Gogh exhibition total $48.5 million. The three largest expenditure categories were:
Shopping at $14.2 million, Entertainment/Attractions at $12.7 million and, Restaurants at
$10.6 million.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
The economic impact of LACMA during the Van Gogh exhibition on Los Angeles County
was as follows (Results are inclusive of multiplier effects except taxes which are only the
direct estimates):
Output $121.9 million
Personal income $39.0 million
Jobs 2,872
Transient Occupancy Tax $ 0.8 million
Sales Tax $2.1 million
The economic impact of LACMA during all of FY 1998-99 on Los Angeles County was as
follows:
Output $195.4 million
Personal Income $62.3 million
Jobs 4,480
..T~ansient Occupancy Tax $1.2 million
Sales Tax $2.8 million
The economic impact of LACMA during FY 1997-98 was as follows:
Output $80.1 million
Personal Income $25.3 million
Jobs 1,752

LACMA-Van Gogh Exhibition Economic Impact Analysis
ECONOMIC IMPACT ANALYSIS OF THE
LOS ANGELES COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART
AND THE VAN GOGH EXHIBITION
I INTRODUCTION
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) commissioned Morey and Associates
to conduct an analysis of the economic impact of the Museum and particularly the special Van
Gogh exhibition, "Van Gogh's Van Goghs," which appeared at the Museum from January 17,
1999 through May 16, 1999. Significant cultural attractions such as .LACMA have an ongoing
economic impact on their communities. These attractions are making expenditures in their
community and they are attracting visitors, both local residents and visitors from outside the area,
who are also spending money. While some visitors from outside the area might be visiting in
order to see a specific cultural attraction, the unique Van Gogh exhibition presents a special
opportunity to observe and measure LACMA's economic impact on Los Angeles County.
Estimates-in this analysis are based on expenditure and attendance data supplied by
LACMA as well as on data obtained in a survey of visitors to the Museum conducted in August
1998 and during the Van Gogh exhibition.
Data obtained from LACMA provide information about the Museum's revenue and cost
structure, employment, payroll, and attendance. Data obtained from the visitor survey provide
information about the expenditure patterns of visitors to the Museum, their visit to the Los
Angeles area, and their economic and demographic characteristics. The expenditure data are
quite important to estimating the overall economic contribution of the Museum because visitors
not only pay entrance fees, they also may stay in overnight accommodations, eat in nearby
restaurants, and make other purchases related to their visit.
Additional information was provided by the Los Angeles Convention & Visitors Bureau
whose Cultural Tourism Department developed an extensive cooperative promotional program-
with American Express and selected area hotels.
These data are used with a specially developed input-output model of Los Angeles
County to calculate the total impact of LACMA within LOs Angeles County. As outlined more
completely in the Appendix, the methods used to construct this model can be applied to develop
input-output models for any county in California (or, for that matter, any county or county-type
area in the United States). These models could be used to evaluate the economic contributions or
losses associated with a broad range of events, but are particularly well suited to making
estimates of a unique facility that attracts out-of-town visitors.
Page I
LACMA-Van Gogh Exhibition Economic Impact Analysis
· The model developed for this study is very detailed. It is individualized for Los Angeles
County, has built-in entry points for the data collected, and can be used to estimate the impact of
the LACMA on output levels, incomes, and employment levels in Los Angeles County.
The remainder of this report is organized into four sections. Section II presents an
overview of the available data and projected visitor expenditures, Section Ill describes the
economic coatribatioa.o£.the Museura(inclusive of multiplier effects), Section IV shows.how the
economic contribution was calculated, and Section V presents conclusions.
A discussion of input-output models and an explanation of the calculation of the
economic .contribution.of the MuSeum is .provided in Section IV.

LACMA-Van Gogh Exhibition Economic Impact Analysis
II DATA
Museum Expenditures
As mentioned previously, this study makes use of data available from the Los Angeles
County Museum of Art as well as from visitors to the facility. Data from the Museum indicates
that in the recent fiscal year (FY1998-99), total combined operating revenues and support
reachedapproximately $49 million. Total operating expenses were approximately $44.3 million
in FY1998-99. These figures represent a substantial increase over the previous fiscal year. In FY
1997-98,-estimated total revenues and support, were $31.6 million while total expenses came to
$31.4 million.
The most important reason for the increase in cash.flow in FY1998-99 was the exhibition
of VanGogh masterpieces that were displayed at the Museum from January 17( 1999 through
May 16, 1999. Total revenues during the Van Gogh exhibition were $22.7 million and total
expenses directly attributable to hosting the exhibition were $10.6 million. With the exception of
fees for the exhibition of $5.5 million, all expenditures by the Museum are assumed to be made
within Los Angeles County.

Number of Visitors
In FY 1997-98, Museum admissions totaled 554,024 persons including total paid
admissions of 227,736 persons. This latter figure does not include persons holding Museum
memberships or those admitted at no charge.
By comparison, FY 1998-99 Museum admissions totaled 1,330,000 persons including
total paid admission of approximately 800,000 persons. Approximately 821,000 persons visited
the Museum during the Van Gogh exhibition. Of these, 566,910 persons paid for admission
under one of several ticket purchase plans.

Selected Visitor Survey Results
To obtain information about visitors to the Museum, two surveys were conducted during
FY 1998-99. The first survey was conducted in August 1998 and the second was conducted in
early 1999 during the Van Gogh exhibition. In the August 1998 survey, 294 visitors were
interviewed on the premises of the Museum. Members were excluded from the survey.
· . During the Van Gogh exhibition 346 visitors including members and non-members were
interviewed on the Museum premises. In each of the two surveys, respondents provided
information on behalf of their party. Results of these sur~eys are presented in the following
sections and incorporated into the analysis.
Past Visits to the Museum
27% of residents and 52% of non-residents who attended the Van Gogh exhibition were
making their first visit to LACMA. The Van Gogh exhibition also brought past visitors back to
the Museum; 65% of the repeat visitors had not visited for one year or more.
76% of Los Angeles County residents at the Van Gogh exhibition had visited in the past
year, and 79% expect to visit within the next year.
Visitor Origin
Nonresident visitors (among non-members) to LACMA increased significantly during the
Van Gogh exhibition. In the August 1998 survey, about 34% of Museum visitors were from
outside Los Angles County. During the Van Gogh' exhibition, this increased to 58% of Museum
visitors, excluding members. Even with members included in the.~Van Gogh survey results, 56%
of visitors were from outside Los Angeles County.
The most significant increase in the percentage of visitors occurred from areas of
California other than LOs Angeles County. And since the percentage of international visitors
remains unchanged in comparing the 1998 and 1999 Van Gogh survey results, we can conclude
there was an actual increase in the number of international visitors.
Figure 2 shows the origin of Museum visitors.
Throughout this report, comparisons with 1998 describe non-members surveyed during"
the Van Gogh exhibition as "Van Gogh," and all respondents surveyed during the Van Gogh
exhibition as "Van Gogh - All Respondents." Since members were excluded from the 1998
survey results, the results described as "Van Gogh" are directly comparable. However, we also
thought it would be useful to describe all respondents during the Van Gogh exhibition.

Length of Trip
Figure 3 compares the length of stay of visitors from outside Los Angeles County. In
comparing visitors to Los Angeles County in the 1998 survey and during the Van Gogh
exhibition, we can-see the percentage of day visitors increased dramatically, from 29% to over
60%. This is due to dramatic increase in the number of visitors from Southern California
residing outside Los Angeles County who came for the day. In t.he 1998 survey, 11% of the
respondents were Southern California residents living outside Los Angeles County. During the
Van Gogh exhibition this increased to 3 I% (among non-members).

Among visitors (non-members) who did stay overnight, the average length of stay was 3.3
nights during Van Gogh compared with 6.9 nights in August 1998. The difference is that August
1998 visitors were on a summer vacation while visitors during Van Gogh were making a special
visit during a time of year that is not when primary vacations are taken.

'Figure 9 shows that ratings for value for admission remained the same. It is important to
note that the admission to the Museum in August '98 was $7.00 and this increased to between
$17.50 and $20.00 for the Van Gogh exhibition. 84% of the respondents also described the price
of admission during the Van Gogh exhibition as "about right" compared to 88% in August '98.
15% of respondents described the price of admission during the Van Gogh exhibition as "too

LACVB Promotion
The Los Angeles Convention & Visitors Bureau developed a special promotional
program with selected area hotels and has reported this as being responsible for 12,435 room
nights. This estimate understates the overall impact on area hotels. Of the 144,437 nonresident
parties, 21% stayed oVernight in a hotel or motel. Based on one-night occupancy and all persons
in the party occupying one room, this equates to 30,332 room nights. The average length of stay
of these persons was 2.7 nights, so counting multiple nights this equates to 81,896 room nights.
Visitor Expenditures
Table 1 shows August 1998 expenditures per party for resident (of Los Angeles County)
and nonresident visitor parties by category. The table also extends per party expenditures to
expenditures by all visitors in FY1997-98 based on attendance of 554,064. The idea behind this
calculation is to estimate the annual expenditures accounted for by Museum visitors during a
"normal year" just prior to the Van Gogh exhibition.
As previously indicated, in FY 1998-99, Museum attendance rose to 1,330,000 and about
821,000 persons visited during the Van Gogh exhibition. The difference between these figures
(509,000) is roughly equal to the number of visitors to the Museum during FY 1997-98. Thus, it
appears that the Museum would have had another "normal year" in attendance had the Van Gogh
masterpieces not been exhibited. In other words, the Van Gogh exhibition represented a
substantial one-time increase in the Museum's economic contribution to the LOs Angeles County
economy.
Figures presented on average per party expenditures were taken from the survey and
pertain to the day that someone in the party was interviewed. Expenditures for.
entertainment/attractions include admission paid at LACMA, and expenditures for restaurants
and shopping include expenditures made at LACMA.

Figures presented for expenditures by all parties were obtained by multiplying the average
per party values by the number of resident and nonresident parties.
There were 176,760 resident visitor parties and 87,061 nonresidentvisitor parties. The
expenditure figures for all parties are used later in the report-tocompute estimates of the ·
economic contribution of LACMA to Los Angeles County in FY 1997-98. Those calculations
and their implications assume that all expenditures were made 'within Los Angeles County and
the visit to the Museum was the main activity that visitors engaged in on that day.
Table 2 shows expenditure figures by visitors during the Van Gogh exhibition. Residents
spent a total of $14,233,091 while nonresidents spent a total of $34,240,084 for total
expenditures of $48,473,175.
As shown, total expenditures on the day of the visit by LOs Angeles County residents
were larger than those reflected in the August 1998 survey. Expenditures reported by
nonresidents were of a comparable magnitude to the August 1998 survey. Average expenditures
per party are taken from Van Gogh visitor survey data. Expenditures by all parties were obtained
by multiplying the average expenditure values by numbers of resident and nonresident parties.
Page 26
LACMA-Van Gogh Exhibition Economic Impact Analysis
There were 118,019 resident visitor parties and 138,544 nonresident visitor parties. Also,
the expenditure figures for all parties are used later in the report to compute estimates of
economic contribution by the Van Gogh exhibition. These calculations are based on the
assumption that all expenditures were made within Los Angeles County, and the visit to the
Museum was the main activity that visitors engaged in on the day they responded to the survey.

Estimates of economic contribution obtained using figures presented in Tables 1 and 2
account not only for Museum admissions and merchandise expenditures, but also Museum-
related expenditures for accommodations, restaurant meals, admissions paid to other attractions,
other shopping activities and so forth.
Because Museum visitors are doing other things besides visiting the Museum, resident ..
expenditures are counted toward the economic contribution of the Museum only on the day of the
visit. If nonresident survey respondents stayed more than one day in the Los Angeles area, it was
assumed to be for the purpose of engaging in other types of activities, except for nonresident
parties who indicated the Van Gogh exhibition was their primary reason for visiting Los Angeles.
In these cases the entire expenditures of their visit were added to the daily expenditures. This
equated to an average additional stay of .36 nights among 80% of nonresident.parties (110,835).
A separate daily expenditure schedule was computed for these parties who spent slightly less on
a daily.basis, $174.80 compared with $196.80 among all respondents.
Page 27
LACMA-Van Gogh Exhibition Economic Impact Analysis
Expenditures of nonresidents obviously exceed those of residents on a day when a visit to
the Museum takes plac. e. This outcome would be expected because residents of Los Angeles
County would be unlikely to use commercial overnight accommodations and less likely to eat all
three of a day's meals in a restaurant. In any case, Table 1 shows that in the August 1998 survey,
nonresident visitor parties spent about $160. I0 on the day of the interview, whereas resident
visitor parties spent about $37.80 per day on the day of the interview. Also, Table 2 shows that
in the survey taken during the Van Gogh exhibition, nonresident visitor parties spent an average
of $196.80 on the day of the interview, whereas resident visitor parties spent an average of
$120.60 on the day of the interview.
Also, average expenditures by nonresidents for accommodations ($41.40 in the August
1998 survey and $39.00 in the Van Gogh exhibition survey) may appear to be unreasonably low
when compared to rates charged 'by Los Angeles County hotels and motels.. However, recall that
the survey indicates that a substantial fraction of nonresident visitors to the Museum in both
surveys are accounted for by people who travel to Los Angeles for that day only or who stay
overnight with friends and .relatives. The expenditure figure presented is the average for all
nonresident parties, whether they actually spent anything on accommodations or not. Among
parties who did stay in commercial accommodations, the average expenditure was $139.90.
The figures for resident and nonresident expenditures for entertainment/attractions are
inclusive of admissions to the Museum and would also include what was spent on other types of
entertainment/attractions on the day of the visit. Notice that reported expenditures on
entertainment/attractions were larger in the Van Gogh exhibition survey as compared with the
August 1998 survey.
Expenditures for restaurants and shopping include expenditures made at LACMA.

Tables 1 and 2 also show total expenditures by category for each of the two visitor
groups. Table 1' shows estimates of total expenditures by Museum visitors based on average per
party expenditures from the August 1998 survey together with attendance figures for FY 1997-
98. Thus, this calculation shows the total direct economic contribution of Museum visitors to
Los Angeles County in the absence of (prior to) the Van Gogh exhibition. Corresponding figures
in Table 2, then, show the direct economic contribution to Los Angeles County by visitors to the
Van Gogh exhibition. Notice that total expenditures by visitors .to the Van Gogh exhibition are
larger than those for FY 1997-98 ($48.5 million vs. $20.6 million) even though the Van Gogh
exhibition lasted only four months. This is also shown in Figure 21.

Expenditures for entertainment/attractions (including Museum fees) total about $3.8
million for FY 1997-98 and $11.4 million for the Van Gogh exhibition. These figures are larger
than the dollar value of admissions received by the Museum during those time periods and reflect
the fact that Museum visitors have other entertainment/attraction expenditures on the day of the
their visit.
Figure 22 shows expenditure categories as a percentage of total expenditures for all
parties visiting LACMA during the Van Gogh exhibition. These percentages remain the same
when computing percentages on a per party basis. As indicated the largest expenditure categories
were shopping at $14.2 million, entertainment at $12.7 million, restaurants at $10.6 million, and
lodging at $6.4 million.'

III ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION
Estimates of the economic contribution of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art to the
Los Angeles County economy make use of visitor party expenditure data reported in Tables 1
and 2 together with financial information provided by the Museum. The idea here is to account
for: (1) Visitor expenditures at the Museum, (2) expenditures elsewhere in Los Angeles County
by visitors to the Museum, and (3) expenditures by the Museum from nonvisitor revenues.
Expenditures by visitors both at the Museum and elsewhere in Los Angeles County are
reported in Tables 1 and 2. Additionally, the Museum received revenues from merchandising,
food service, and special events during FY 1997-98 as well as during the. Van Gogh exhibition.
These revenues are assumed accounted for by the visitor expenditure data. Notice that the visitor
expenditure data would include not only food and retail purchases,made, at. the..Museum, but. also
similar purchases made elsewhere in Los Angeles County.
Finally, the Museum earns revenues that do not come directly from visitors. These
revenues include investment income, memberships, gifts,.and grants.. These revenues represent
further injections of funds into the Los Angeles County economy and are incorporated into the
analysis below. In FY 1997-98, estimated nonvisitor rewenuesmtaled$13.9~million and during
FY 1998-99, forecasted nonvisitor revenues totaled $17.4 million. A fraction of this latter figure
(4/12) is attributed to the Van Gogh exhibition in light of the fact that.it .a, as.held in four.out of
12 months of the fiscal year.'
These estimates of nonvisitor revenues were taken from data provided by LACMA of
estimated revenue sources for FY 1997-98 (Museum Comhined.Revenue.~& Expense Report
Fiscal 1998-99) and forecasted results for FY 1998-99 (Los Angeles County Museum of Art
Recommended Budget Fiscal 1998-99). The following revenue sources were included:
membership dues, unrestricted investment income, restricted investment income, and total
Associates support. Other income sources were not included because they are either County
appropriations which would be spent in other areas if LACMA did not exist, redundant revenue
sources, or were not definable as they impact this analysis.
The economic contribution of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art is measured in
terms of incomes, jobs, and taxes. As previously indicated, calculations of economic
contribution are made using an input-output model of Los Angeles County constructed --
specifically for this study.
Estimates of economic contribution presented below rest on an important assumption: It
is assumed that day visitors to the Museum who live outside Los Angeles County make all of
their expenditures within the County on the day of their visit. Methods for making the estimates
of economic contribution are fully described in Section IV.
Page 32
LACMA-Van Gogh Exhibition Economic Impact Analysis
Personal Income and Jobs
Within Los Angeles County, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art generated about
$25.3 million in personal income for Los Angeles County residents in FY1997-98. Also within
Los Angeles County LACMA generated approximately 1,752 jobs in FY 1997-98.
During thc Van Gogh exhibition, when the number of visitors rose substantially, the
Museum generated about $39.0 million in increased income for Los Angeles County residents
and about 2,872 jobs. Notice that these figures are larger than those for FY 1997-98 despite the
fact that the Van Gogh exhibition lasted only about four months.
We have also estimated LACMA's economic impact for all of FY 1998-99. This was
accomplished by subtracting the number of visitors to the Van Gogh exhibition from total
attendance in FY 1998-99 (1,330,000- 821,000 = 509,000). 509,000 visitors represents 91.8%
of the.number of visitors. We have then applied the percentage to FY- 1997-98 results and
combined them with Van Gogh exhibition results to produce an estimate for all of FY 1998-99.
For all of FY 1998-99 we estimate LACMA produced personal income of $62.3 million
and 4,480 jobs.

Economic Output
Another' way of describing the economic impact is by "economic output" which is the
total economic activity associated with the expenditures. This is reflected in Figure 25.
Economic output can be defined as the value of final goods and services produced by all sectors
of the Los Angeles County economy. It reflects the impact of multipliers on the actual spending
of visitors to LACMA.

Taxes
Also, expenditures by visitors to the Museum for accommodations arc subject to a 14%
(in the City of Los Angeles) transient occupancy tax (TOT) and remaining expenditures are
subject to an 8.25% sales tax. The visitor expenditure data include taxes paid. Thus, an estimate
of tax collections is computed by removing taxes from the expenditure data. Using this approach
implies that TOT collections in Los Angeles attributed to nonresident visitors to the Museum
during FY 1997-98 were $442,636.
Corresponding TOT collections in LOs Angles attributable to Museum visitors during the
Van Gogh exhibition were $788,045 and for all of FY 1998-99 are estimated at $1,194,385.
Sales tax collections in Los Angeles attributable to nonresident Museum visitors wcrc
$787,$91 during FY 1997-98 and $2,120,490 during the Van Gogh exhibition. During all of FY
1998-99, we estimate attributable sales tax collections at $2,843,499.

These estimates of tax collections attributable to the Museum are quite conservative in
that they do not account for indirect effects associated with the multiplier process. These indirect
effects on tax collections are difficult to estimate because of uncertainty about how incomes
attributable to the Museum will be respent.

Table 3 shows sales tax rates which were applied to expenditure data to develop estimates
of tax contributions. Notice that there is no sales tax levied on hotel occupancies. Instead, there
is 14% transient occupancy tax (TOT) in the city of Los Angeles.

IV CALCULATION OF ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION
The specially developed input-output model (See Appendix) was used to calculate total
output, income, and employment contributions of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on
Los Angeles County. The first step in making these calculations is to estimate a set of
multipliers, and the second step involves applying these multipliers to the expenditure data
reported in Tables 1 and ~2 and other data supplied by the Museum. In this context, a multiplier is
a number that accounts for the fact that dollars received by the Museum or spent by Museum
visitors.for other services or goods are then respent in Los Angeles County. As this respending
process continues, total sales of all businesses, total incomes of county residents, and
employment levels continue to rise. A multiplier, therefore, represents the total magnitude of
increase in these variables.
Multipliers
.Table 4 presents output and income multipliers together with related data forthe
economic sectors in which Museum visitors spend money. These are the same sectors listed in
Tables 1 and 2 of the main body of this analysis.
It is important to note this process for calculating economic impact calculates multipliers
for each spending category because each spending type produces different multipliers.
The output multipliers labeled Type I, show the total change in the value of output that
occurs when expenditures in the sector indicated change by $1, and only respending by business
is accounted for. The output multipliers labeled Type Il, reflect the same concept, but are larger
because they account for respending of both businesses and households. Forexample, in Los
Angeles County, when expenditures on accommodations change by $1, total value of output in
all sectors of the economy changes by $1.57 when accounting for business respending only, and
$3.09 when accounting for respending by both businesses and households. As indicated below,
estimates of economic contribution of the LACMA to the Los Angeles County economy should
be based on the larger Type II multipliers because it is important to take account of the fact that
as business revenue rises, a portion of that increase will become income to .households.
The income multipliers developed for this analysis require somewhat more explanation.
The direct effect shows the direct income change to residents of Los Angeles County that comes
about for every $1 change in expenditures made in the categories shown. For example, when --
visitors to .the Museum spend an additional $1 on restaurant meals, about $.34 is paid out to
workers in the form of wages and salaries. In other words, slightly above one-third of all gross
receipts to Los Angeles County eating and drinking establishments find their way directly into
paychecks of workers.
Page 40
LACMA-Van Gogh Exhibition Economic Impact Analysis
The indirect effect reflects the fact that as gross receipts to Los Angeles County business
establishments rise, a portion of these funds is used to make purchases of goods and services
from businesses both within the county as well as outside the county. For example, a $1 increase
in revenues earned by the retail trade sector results in increased interindustry purchases that, in
turn, create an additional $. 14 of income for County residents,Over and above that accounted for
by the direct effect.
Finally, household respending of incomes produces an induced effect. In other words,
when an additional $1 is spent in retail trade, the $.40 of directly created incomes for residents of
Los Angeles County are then respent and that respending induces an additional $.46 of income
creation. The total income changes arising from a $1 change in revenues to a sector then would
be the sum of direct, indirect, and induced income changes; i.e., a $1 change in retail trade
expenditures results in a Countywide income change of about an additional $1.
Two types of income multipliers can be calculated. Type I income multipliers do not
account for household respending of incomes and are computed by dividing the sum of the direct
and indirect income changes by the direct income change. Type II income multipliers are
inclusive of respending by households and are computed by dividing the total income change by
the direct income change. Both types of multipliers show the extent to which direct income
changes in the sectors named at the left result in further income changes when business and/or
household respending is accounted for. Notice that the Type II multipliers are larger than the
Type I multipliers because they are inclusive of both business and household respending.

aln the input-output model developed, expenditure categories refer to "official" sectors. In the
federal government's economic accounting system: (1) accommodations .refers .to hotels and
lodging places (I-0 sector 72.0100; 1987 SIC Code #70), (2) restaurants refers to eating and
drinking places (I-0 sector 74.0000, SIC Code #58), (3) retail trade (including groceries and
gasoline) refers to retail trade except eating and drinking places (I-0 sector 69.0200, SIC Code
#52-57 (except 546), 59, 7389, and 8042), (4) entertainment/attractions refer to amusements and
other recreation services (I-0 sector 76.0206, SIC Code #791, 7992-3, 7996, 7999), and (5)
parking refers to automotive parking and car washes (I-0 sector 75.0003, SIC Codes #752 and
#7542).
Page 42
LACMA-Van Gogh Exhibition Economic Impact Analysis
Table 5 presents employment multipliers and related data for Los Angeles County. Apart
from a change in the unit of measure, direct, indirect, and induced employment changes are
interpreted similarly to those same types of income changes. For example, Column 1 shows that
a $1 million change in expenditures in the retail trade sector leads to a direct change of 46.60
jobs in Los Angeles County. Alternatively stated, from a Countywide perspective, the retail trade
sector offers about 1 job per $21,459 of direct expenditure. These direct expenditures lead to
indirect and induced employment changes that are similar to those described in the context of
income changes. The figures in the indirect employment change column arise from business
respending of gross receipts, and the figures in the induced employment change column are
attributable to household respending of incomes. Total employment changes per $1 million of
expenditures, which are the sum of the figures in Columns l, 2, and 3, are presented in Column
4. The Type I employment mult!plier is computed by dividing the direct plus indirect
employment change by the direct employment change. The Type II multiplier is computed by
dividing the total employment change by the direct employment change. Again, the Type II
multiplier includes the respending of incomes by households, whereas the Type I multiplier does
not.

Table 6 shows how the previous analysis translates into estimates of the economic
contribution of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art to Los Angeles County in FY 1997-98.
These estimates were computed by applying the Type II multipliers just discussed to expenditure
data presented in Table 1.
In particular, figures in Table 6 were obtained using only the portion of expenditures that
comes from non-residents of Los Angeles County. This approach: (1) treats expenditures by
visitors .to the Museum from outside the county as an injection into the local economy and (2)
assumes that Museum-related expenditures .by Los Angeles County residents would be spent
locally on other goods and services if the Museum did not exist. Notice that this approach yields
conservative estimates of economic contribution because it is assumed that Museum-related
.expenditures are perfect substitutes for other goods and services provided in the local economy;
i.e., money not spent by local residents when visiting the Museum would be spent locally on
other types of activities. This conservative assumption leads to the estimates of economic
contribution shown in Table 6.
This series of tables (Table 6, Table 7, and Table 8) describe three different
measurements of economic contribution which are a result of expenditures by visitors to
LACMA and spending by LACMA. (The measurement of taxes is treated separately.) "Output"
describes the total economic activity stimulated by the expenditures of LACMA visitors or the
value of final goods and services produced by all sectors of the Los Angeles County economy.
"Income" describes the dollar amount paid to workers as a result of this "output" or actixtity, and
"Jobs" describes the number of jobs which occur as a result of this "output" or "activity."
For example, as shown in Table 6, in FY 1997-98 LACMA generates about $25'.3 million
in incomes for local residents and about 1,752 jobs from total output of $80,088,000. Total
figures are the sums of the amounts in each category, with each category having different
expenditure levels and multipliers. Expenditures on entertainment and attractions had the
greatest impact on income and jobs, resulting in personal income of $12.9 million and 779 jobs.

Table 7 presents a corresponding analysis for the Van Gogh exhibition. Again, figures in
Table 7 were obtained using only the portion of expenditures that,comes'from nonresidents.
Results show that the Van Gogh exhibition was responsible for creating $39.0 million of
increased incomes for Los Angeles County residents as well as 2;872'jobs in .the Los Angeles
County economy with total output of $121.9 million.
Expenditures during the Van Gogh exhibition reflect increases in all categories,
particularly entertainment and attractions which increased from $1.7 million to $7.4 million and
shopping which increased from $3.4 million to $9.1 million.

LACMA-Van Gogh Exhibition Economic Impact Analysis
V CONCLUSIONS
This analysis has assessed the economic impact of the Los Angles County Museum of
Art, particularly the impact of the exhibition, "Van Gogh's Van Goghs." This analysis has been
approached from the conservative standpoint of describing LACMA's unique impact.
Consequently, we can make the statement that if LACMA did not exist, or if LACMA had not
had this exhibition, Los Angeles County would actually lose this impact. We can therefore state
that this impact is attributable to LACMA.
The overall economic contribution of-LACMA to Los Angeles County accounts for
expenditures at LACMA by visitors, expenditures elsewhere in Los 'Angeles County by visitors
to LACMA, and expenditures by LACMA from nonvisitor revenues. The gross effect of these
expenditures on the economy is also considered and accounted for in terms of taxes, personal
income, and total output. In the case of taxes, we only describe the direct effect and do not apply
any multipliers, as there is not a reliable multiplier for taxes.
The overall economic contribution of LACMA to LOs Angeles County during FY 1998-
1999 was $195.4 million in output, $62.3 million in income, 4,480 jobs, and $4.0 million in
direct taxes.
This is an increase of $115.3 million in output,'$37:0 million in'income arid 2,728]obs
from FY 1997-1998.
The increase in economic contribution can be attributed almost entirely to the Van Gogh
exhibition. The number of visitors to LACMA during.the Yan'Goghexhibition'-numbered
821,000 bringing the total number of visitors to LACMA during FY 1998-99 to 1,330,000, an
increase of nearly 800,000 visitors compared to the previous year/The economiC' contribution 'of
the Van Gogh exhibition to LOs Angeles County was $121.9 million in output, $39.0 million in
income, and 2,872 jobs, exceeding the total output, income and number of jobs from LACMA in
FY 1997-98.
These results establish that LACMA had significant economic impact at FY 1997-98
attendance of 524,024 of $80.1 million in output, $25.3 million in personal income, and 1,752
jobs. Economic impact increased dramatically with the Van Gogh exhibition. The results show
the effect of increased attendance from persons outside LOs Angeles County, and we would
expect similar results in the future with other exhibitions of this magnitude.

In planning and pedorming our audit, we considered the Ci~ of Bakersfield, California's,
internal control over financial reposing in order to determine our auditing procedures for
the purpose.of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and not to provide
assurance on the internal control over financial reposing. Our consideration of the
internal control over financial reposing would not necessarily disclose all ma~ers in the
internal control over financial reposing that might be material weaknesses. A material
weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the'internal
control components does not reduce to a relatively Iow level the risk that misstatements
in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited
may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course
of pedorming their assigned.functions. We noted no maEers involving the internal control
over financial reposing and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses.
