BACKGROUND: As required by local code, State law, bond covenants, and best practices, the
City of San Rafael completes an annual audit of its financial activities. The auditing firm of Maze
and Associates, Accountancy Corporation conducted the audit for fiscal year 2015-2016. Their
work was completed in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the provisions
of Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of State and Local Government and
Non -Profit Orizanizations.
The requirements of Section 1.5 of Article XHIB of the California Constitution are met with an
agreed-upon procedure report applied to the Gann Appropriation Limit calculated for the year
ending June 30, 2017. A Memorandum on Internal Control is also prepared by the auditors to
identify areas that could improve the City's organization and controls over its financial activities.
These reports are also attached to this staff report.
Also, as part of the fiscal year-end closing activities, the Finance and Community Services
departments worked with Maze and Associates to complete the annual audit of the City's
childcare program, as required by the State of California.

Finally, the federal Single Audit Act requires that any local agency expending $500,000 or more
in combined federal grant funds, either directly or indirectly in a fiscal year, is subject to a
separate audit on those programs and a separate Single Audit Report is issued. This threshold
was triggered in fiscal year 2015-2016; however, due to the number of programs requiring audit,
the report could not be completed in time to be included. Staff expects to return to the City
Council in early 2017 with the completed Single Audit report.
These reports were presented to the City Council Finance Committee on October 11, 2016 and
November 1, 2016, at which time they were reviewed and discussed.
ANALYSIS:
Overview
The Fiscal Year 2015-2016 saw a continuation of the City's fiscal recovery. The City's General
Fund Emergency Reserves continue to meet the target level of ten percent of operating expenses
established by City Council Policy. Although the City's year ending fund balances are strong,
critical unmet needs have accumulated, as a result of the past, multi-year deferral of various
capital improvements, maintenance and technology support projects and initiatives. Most of the
unassigned general fund balance as of June 30, 2016 has been dedicated to one-time initiatives.
Fiscal year 2015-2016 marks the second year of implementation of the new pension accounting
standard issued by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) known as GASB 68.
These requirements, which affect all public agencies with defined benefit pension programs, are
designed to enhance the comparability of financial statements by requiring the measurement of
pension -related assets and liabilities at fair value, using a consistent and more detailed definition
of fair value and accepted valuation techniques. The net impact of implementing GASB 68
lowers the City's net position as of June 30, 2016 is $116.9 million from a reporting perspective.
The net pension liability as of this date was measured to be $142.3 million. The full funding of
the City's pension costs have been incorporated into the adopted fiscal year 2016-2017 budget;
therefore, there is no negative impact on City operations or services resulting from the
implementation of this new reporting standard.
Consistent with the policy adopted by the City Council upon the implementation of Measure E
transactions and use tax (TUT) in April 2014, the City has set-aside the portion of the Measure E
that exceeds the former Measure S TUT (i.e., one-quarter of one percent from the three-quarter of
one percent tax) for public safety facilities construction and improvements. The accumulated
balance grew from $4,389,470 as of July 1, 2015, to $6,336,377 by June 30, 2016. During the
year $1,901,094 was expended on San Rafael Essential Facilities project -related activities in
preparation for the upcoming major construction.
Fiscal Year 2015-16 Annual Financial Report — Citvwide Financial Results
The actual results of the City's financial activities are presented in the attached Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report. The report includes Government -wide financial statements with
governmental activities and business -type activities presented separately. Net position is one
indicator of the City's financial position. At the end of the fiscal year, net position of the City
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Pa2e: 3
governmental activities was $131.7 million, a decrease of $10.0 million from the prior year
adjusted balance. This decrease is largely attributable to the allocation of pension expense under
the methodology required by GASB 68. The Parking Fund, reported as a business -type activity,
ended the fiscal year with a net position of $9.8 million, the same balance as it ended the
previous fiscal year. Cash contributes approximately 30% of this net position, with the remainder
contributed by parking infrastructure.
A financial summary of revenues and expenditures is shown in the Statement of Activities and
Changes in Net Position. Total governmental expenditures of $110.9 million exceeded revenues
of $100.9 million $10.0 million. This performance was negatively impacted by the reporting
methodology (under GASB 68) for reporting pension expenses.
Additional explanatory information is provided in the Management's Discussion and Analysis
(MD&A) section beginning on page three. The MD&A provides key highlights and a summary
view of financial activities for the year.
Financial Results: General Fund
The final operating results for the General Fund exceeded the projections made at the time the
budget was adopted for fiscal year 2015-2016. This variance was driven by positive performance
in the areas of property tax, transient occupancy tax, and unanticipated reimbursements from fire
strike team activity. General Fund revenues exceeded expenditures and net transfers by
$4.3 million. Of this amount, $1.9 million was assigned to the Measure E — Public Safety Facility
Reserve; $1.0 was assigned to one-time MOU contractual obligations; $0.4 million was added to
the Emergency Cash Flow reserve; $0.4 million was added to the infrastructure reserve;
$0.3 million was added to the General Plan / Long Range Planning reserve; $0.2 million was
used for prepaid expenses; and $0.1 million was retained in Unassigned General Fund balance.
Gann Appropriations Limit
The Agreed -Upon Procedures report for the Gann Appropriations Limit required three
procedures to be performed including testing the accuracy of the calculations and comparison of
information presented. No exceptions were noted in these procedures for compliance with the
Proposition 111 fiscal year 2016-2017 Appropriations Limit calculation.
Memorandum on Internal Control
The auditors are required to communicate to the City Council matters that come to their attention
relating to the audit in a report entitled Memorandum on Internal Control and Required
Communications. For this report, there were two areas that the auditors considered to be internal
control deficiencies. One pertained to the timeliness of bank reconciliations, and the other to the
verification of department revenue and other financial transaction information that flows to the
City's general ledger. The City's management responses to these two items describe the
corrective measures, including process and procedural changes that the City is undertaking.
This communication included references to a few new pronouncements issued by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) which become effective in upcoming fiscal
years. The most notable of these pronouncements is GASB Statement No. 75, which becomes
effective in fiscal year 2017-2018. This Statement introduces new reporting requirements for
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Pa2e: 4
other post -employment benefits (e.g., retiree medical) similar to those just implemented for
defined benefit pension plans. The City is currently planning an early implementation of this
Statement (i.e., fiscal year 2016-2017).
Child Development Program (Childcare) Audit
The Childcare Program had positive operating results, with $4.3 million in total revenues and
$3.8 million in expenditures for the fiscal year. After transfers, the fund balance was increased by
$242,036, from $911,808 to $1,153,844. Approximately half of the residual funds have been
accumulated for capital improvements. The audit resulted in no adverse findings.
Transportation Development Act Audit
Audited financial statements for the City's Bicycle/Pedestrian Projects were prepared in order to
comply with the Transportation Development Act. The scope of this audit covered $251,466 in
TDA revenues (Metropolitan Transportation Commission grants) that were used for multi -use
pathway repairs.
FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact occurs by the City Council's acceptance of these reports.
The fiscal year 2015-2016 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and related reports are
presented as the actual results of the City and related entities' financial activities for the year.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that City Council accept the reports as presented.

Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council and Residents of San Rafael:
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report ("CAFR") of the City of San Rafael ("City")
for the year ended June 30, 2016, is hereby submitted as required by local ordinances, state
statutes and bond covenants. This financial report has been prepared in conformance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as promulgated by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board and includes the report of the independent certified public
accounting firm, Maze and Associates Accountancy Corporation, which has issued an
unqualified, or "clean" opinion on the City's financial statements for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2016.
The independent audit of the financial statements is part of a broader, federally mandated
examination known as a "Single Audit", which is designed to meet the needs of federal
grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Audits require the independent auditor to
report on the audited agency's internal controls and compliance with legal requirements,
with special emphasis on such controls and requirements involving the administration of
federal funding. These reports will be available in the City's separately issued Single Audit
Report.
City Management is responsible for both the data accuracy, and the completeness and
fairness of the presentation of this report. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the data
presented is accurate in all material respects and is reported in a manner that presents fairly
the financial position and results of operations of the various funds and component units of
the City. Further, the CAFR is prepared in accordance with procedures and policies set by
the Government Finance Officers Association. The analysis of the financial condition and
the result of operations can be found in the financial section of the Management's
Discussion and Analysis document. The CAFR is organized into three sections:
1. Introductory section, which is unaudited, includes this letter of transmittal, an
organizational chart and a list of the City's elected and appointed officials.
2. Financial section, includes the general-purpose financial statements, related footnote
disclosures, and the combining and individual fund and account group financial
statements and schedules, as well as the independent auditors' report.
3. Statistical section, which is unaudited, includes selected financial and demographic
information, presented on a multi-year basis. Generally, ten-year data is presented for
expenditures, revenues, assessed valuation for local properties and construction
activity.

REPORTING ENTITY — PROFILE OF THE GOVERNMENT
The City of San Rafael is located 17 miles north of San Francisco in Marin County.
Protected by its Mediterranean like setting along the shores of the San Francisco Bay, the
City enjoys a mild climate year round. As the County seat, San Rafael is considered the
commercial, financial, cultural and civic hub of Marin County. Abundant recreational
facilities are available in and around the City. The City's park and recreational resources
include 19 city parks, 393 acres of developed parkland, city and county open space, and
China Camp State Park. San Rafael is close to other attractions, including the Golden Gate
Bridge, Muir Woods, Point Reyes National Seashore, Mount Tamalpais, multiple state
parks, San Francisco, Oakland and the Sonoma and Napa wine country.
In 1874, the City of San Rafael became the first incorporated city in the county, later
becoming a charter city in 1913 by vote of City residents. The City Council comprises five
members; four are elected at -large to four-year terms while the mayor is elected separately
to a four-year term. The City's land area is 22 square miles, including seventeen square
miles of land and 5 of water and tidelands. San Rafael's population on January 1, 2016 was
60,582, an increase of 0.1% from the January 1, 2015 population of 60,507 (revised from
59,214).
Downtown San Rafael is the location of many community events, including the Thursday
night Farmers Market Festivals six months out of the year, Second Friday Art Walks, the
Twilight Criterium Bike Race, Mill Valley Film Festival, Winter Wonderland/Parade of
Lights, and many more. San Rafael is also the heart of the County's cultural activities with
venues such as the Marin Center, which presents numerous ballets, concerts, speaking
engagements as well as the award winning Marin County Fair; the Falkirk Cultural Center,
providing art exhibits and children's programming; the Christopher B. Smith Film Center,
and a host of other diverse dining and entertainment venues. The City is also home to the
distinguished Dominican University of California.
The City of San Rafael provides a full range of municipal services required by statute or
charter, namely: police and fire protection, construction and maintenance of streets, parks,
storm drains and other infrastructure, recreation, childcare, permits, planning, code
enforcement, and a library system serving two locations. The City performed certain
infrastructure construction and economic development activities through a separate
Redevelopment Agency until its dissolution on February 1, 2012. The City of San Rafael
accepted the role of Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency per Council action
on January 3, 2012, and now conducts its economic development activities with funding
from its General Fund.

The City and California Municipal Finance Authority compose the San Rafael Joint
Powers Financing Authority, originally established by the City and former Redevelopment
Agency for the purpose of financing redevelopment and other projects. The San Rafael
Sanitation District is a discretely presented component unit of the City of San Rafael and is
presented independent of City financial information. For a further explanation of these
entities, refer to Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Financial
Section of the CAFR.
The City participates in various organizations through formally organized and separate
entities established under the Joint Exercise of Powers Act of the State of California. As
separate legal entities, these agencies exercise full powers and authorities within the
scope of the related Joint Powers Agreement including the preparation of annual
budgets, accountability for all funds, and the power to make and execute contracts.
Obligations and liabilities of the separate entities are not those of the City. For a further
explanation of these separate entities, refer to Note 12 — Jointly Governed Organizations in
the CAFR.
Fiscal year 2015-2016 marks the second year of implementation of Governmental
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 68 (GASB 68), Accounting and Financial
Reporting for Pensions. The purpose of this reporting requirement is to improve the
decision-making usefulness of information in financial reports and enhance its value for
assessing accountability and inter -period equity by requiring recognition of the entire net
pension liability and a more comprehensive measure of pension expense. The net pension
liability reported as of June 30, 2016, is based on the latest available GASB 67/68 report
prepared by the Marin County Employees' Retirement Association (MCERA), which was
prepared as of June 30, 2015. The next report is anticipated to be completed within the next
60 days. The City expects the measurement of its net pension obligation to increase from
the $142.3 million reported in this year's financial reports. The primary factor contributing
to this increase is the annual investment return for fiscal year 2015-2016 which, at 1.68%,
fell significantly short of the assumed 7.25% rate. More detailed and specific information
will be available once MCERA releases its report.
ECONOMIC FACTORS
The City has a diversified economic base, which includes an assortment of high-tech,
financial, service -based, entertainment and industrial businesses. Downtown San Rafael
provides a mix of restaurants, retail shops and financial institutions. The City's varied
economic base is reflected in its property tax base, which is 71 % residential, 19%
commercial; 4% institutional, 6% unsecured and others. The top 50 sales tax producers
provide 59% of overall sales tax revenues.
Gary O Phillips, Mayor • Kate Colin, Vice Mayor • Maribeth Bushey, Councilmember • John Gamblin, Councilmember • Andrew Cuyugan McCullough, Councilmember
vii
Fiscal year 2015-2016, marked the second full year of the Measure E Transaction and Use
Tax (TUT). This 0.75% tax took effect in April 2014, supplanting the former TUT
(Measure S) of 0.50%. The revenue from this tax was approximately $11.5 million in the
year ended June 30, 2016, with one-third of the funds allocated to the San Rafael Essential
Facilities project, which includes construction and improvements to several public safety
facilities. Approximately $6.3 million has been accumulated for this project, for which
design work is well underway and construction expected to begin in the upcoming fiscal
year. Total Measure E revenues account for 16% of General Fund Revenues. Regular
sales tax revenues, which have shown a significant recovery over the past few years,
account for 30% of General Fund revenues; while property -related taxes, which have also
recovered well, account for 23% of General Fund revenues.
Demoaraphio Data
The following is a sample of demographic and economic attributes that make San Rafael an
exceptional place to live and work.
El Economic development organizations in San Rafael include the San Rafael Chamber of
Commerce, Downtown Business Improvement District, and the Marin Economic
Forum.
0 Marin County's top 10 employers include Kaiser Permanente, Marin General Hospital,
BioMarin Pharmaceutical, Autodesk, Dominican University of California, Bradley
Real Estate, Novato Community Hospital Wells Fargo, FICO, and W Bradley Electric.
0 Major shopping areas, as measured in available retail square footage, include the
Downtown corridor (938,000 aggregate), Northgate Mall (725,000), Montecito Center
(130,000) and Northgate One (113,900).
El The top three sales tax categories in 2016 for San Rafael were: 1. Autos and
Transportation (33.1%), 2. General Consumer Goods (20%), and 3. Building and
Construction (18.8%).
El Several hotels and motels support tourism activity, led by 235 room facilities for both
the Embassy Suites and Four Points Sheraton. Citywide, the total number of hotel
rooms is 787.
El Establishing and maintaining affordable residential housing for sale and lease continues
to be a challenge both in San Rafael and throughout Marin County. Rents for one -
bedroom apartments range from $2,000 to $2,440, while two bedroom apartments go
for $2,625 to $3,505. The median home value in San Rafael is $880,300.
Recent Growth and economic vibrancv:
BioMarin Pharmaceutical received approvals for a new office building (72,000 sq.
ft.) along with the second phase of the parking garage (an additional 300 parking
spaces to the recently completed 600 space garage).
Gary O Phillips, Mayor • Kate Colin, Vice Mayor • Maribeth Bushey, Councilmember • John Gamblin, Councilmember • Andrew Cuyugan McCullough, Councilmember
V 111
• BioMarin Pharmaceutical purchased a 3 acre site across from its Corporate. Center
site and intends to apply for 200,000 square feet of additional office space. Upon
approval and construction of the new office buildings, the BioMarin
Pharmaceutical corporate headquarters facility will include a total of 673,000
square feet at its campus.
• The former Yardbirds Garden Center was re -tenanted with an Ace Hardware store.
This 8,000 square feet property was one of the last large vacancies along the Fourth
Street commercial corridor and it signifies the return to near full occupancy for
retail stores in the Downtown core for the first time since the recession.
• Construction is nearing completion for various projects related to the SMART
(Sonoma Marin Area Rapid Transit) train. Train tracks, platforms and related
infrastructure are all completed for the Downtown and Civic Center Stations. Train
service is scheduled to start in late 2016.
• Construction is nearing completion for the first phase of `The Village at Loch
Lomond'. This project features 80 housing units; 22,000 square feet of commercial
space; new recreation areas along the shoreline, and improved marina facilities.
• A 40 unit apartment building at 815 B Street approved.
• Whistlestop plans to build a 50 unit senior apartment building along with a senior
services center next to the proposed new 200,000 square feet BioMarin
Pharmaceutical office building at 999 Third Street.
• Vacancy rates are reaching all-time lows for retail and office space in the
Downtown area and for industrial space throughout the city. Asking rents have
increased throughout all market types.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The City's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls to
ensure that the City's assets are adequately protected from loss, theft or misuse. In addition,
management controls ensure that proper accounting data is collected so as to prepare
reports in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Internal accounting controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance
regarding: (1) the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition;
and (2) the reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements and
maintaining accountability for assets. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that
the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived. All internal control
evaluations occur within the above framework. It is management's belief that the City's
internal accounting controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance
that financial transactions are properly recorded.
Gary O. Phillips, Mayor • Kate Colin, Vice Mayor • Maribeth Bushey, Councilmember • John Gamblin, Councilmember • Andrew Cuyugan McCullough, Councilmember
ix
The City develops a budget based upon City Council priorities and department objectives.
The Finance Department maintains a traditional line item budget by major function. Budget
control is accomplished at the functional or division level within each fund. This budget
creates a comprehensive management and fiscal system aimed at achieving the objectives
of each operating level consistent with those that have been set for the community by the
City Council. Each department director is responsible for accomplishing goals within his or
her functional area and monitoring the use of her or his budget allocations consistent with
policies set by the City Council and monitored by the City Manager.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The preparation of this City-wide document would not have been possible without the
assistance from each of the City's departments. We would like to specifically call out the
diligent, dedicated efforts of the Finance Department's staff: appreciation goes to Van
Bach, Accounting Manager; and Francis Law, Senior Accountant. These employees were
instrumental in coordinating the annual audit in a timely and professional manner. We
believe this document meets the Government Finance Officers Association's (GFOA)
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting requirements, and will be
submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility. If accepted, this will mark the fifth
consecutive year that the City received the award.
Lastly, we appreciate the ongoing leadership and support from the Mayor, City
Councilmembers and the City Council Finance Committee. Their strong commitment to
financial accountability and stewardship provide inspiration to the organization for a high
level of achievement.
Respectfully submitted,

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of San Rafael, California
Report on Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of San Rafael (City),
California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements,
which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation
of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit
the component unit financial statements of the San Rafael Sanitation District, which represents 18%, 30%,
and 14%, respective, of the assets, net position, and revenue of the entity -wide reporting entity. These
component unit financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose report thereon has been
furnished to us and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the San Rafael Sanitation
District, is based solely on the report of these auditors. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits
contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment
of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the City's preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal
control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinions.

Opinions
In our opinions, based on our audit and the report of other auditors, the financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental
activities, the business -type activities, each major fund, the aggregate remaining fund information and the
discretely presented component unit of the City as of June 30, 2016, and the respective changes in
financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that Management's
Discussion and Analysis and required supplementary information be presented to supplement the basic
financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required
by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial
reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic or historical
context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted
of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the
information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements,
and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express
an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us
with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City's basic financial statements as a whole. The Introductory Section, Supplementary
Information, and Statistical Section as listed in the Table of Contents are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not required parts of the basic financial statements.
The Supplementary Information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates
directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements.
The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information
directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to
the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the Supplementary
Information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The Introductory and Statistical Sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on them.
2
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated October 12,
2016, on our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other
matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial
reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control
over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City's internal control over financial
reporting and compliance.

CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2016
This analysis of the City of San Rafael's (City) financial performance provides an overview of the City's financial
activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. Please read it in conjunction with the basic financial statements
and the accompanying notes to those basic financial statements.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Government -wide:
Net Position — The assets of the City exceeded its liabilities as of June 30, 2016 by $131.7 million.
• Activities — During the fiscal year the City's total expenses of $115.7 exceeded revenues of $105.7 million
for governmental and business -type activities million by $10.0 million.
Changes in Net Position — The City's total net position decreased by $10.0 million in fiscal year
2015-2016. Net position of governmental activities decreased by $10.0 million, while net position of the
business -type activities remained the same.
Fund Level:
• Governmental Funds — As of the close of fiscal year 2015-2016, the City's governmental funds reported
combined ending fund balances of $50.2 million, an increase of $2.4 million from the fund balance of the
prior year. Of this total amount, $0.5 million is nonspendable, $27.5 million is restricted, $3.8 million is
committed, $16.6 million is assigned, and $1.8 million is unassigned.
• Governmental fund revenues were $100.6 million, an increase of $5.0 million from the previous fiscal year.
In addition to moderate economic growth, this increase was enhanced by the termination of the State's
triple flip sales tax distribution program, which generated a one-time catch up of approximately $1.2
million for which distribution had been delayed.
• Governmental fund expenditures increased by $9.5 million to $98.5 million, from $89.0 million in the prior
year, due primarily to increased capital expenditures for street maintenance, public safety infrastructure and
other capital improvement program expenditures.
• Enterprise fund operating revenue remained level relative to the prior year, at $5.2 million. Enterprise
operating expenditures totaled $4.6 million, an increase of $0.5 million over the previous year. The increase
was attributable primarily to the allocation of pension expense to the parking fund.

CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2016
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial statements, which
have three components: 1) Government -wide Financial Statements, 2) Fund Financial Statements, and 3) Notes to
the Basic Financial Statements.
The basic financial statements include the City (primary government) and all legally separate entities (component
units) for which the government is financially accountable. This report also contains other supplementary
information in addition to the basic financial statements for further information and analysis.
Government -wide Financial Statements
The government -wide financial statements present the financial picture of the City and provide readers with a broad
view of the City's finances. These statements present governmental activities and business -type activities
separately and include all assets of the City (including infrastructure) as well as all liabilities (including long-term
debt). Additionally, certain interfund receivables, payables, and other interfund activity have been eliminated as
prescribed by Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34.
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Position report information about
the City as a whole. These statements include all assets and liabilities of the City using the accrual basis of
accounting, which is similar to the accounting used by most private -sector companies. All of the current year's
revenues and expenses are taken into account, regardless of when cash is received or paid.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City's assets and liabilities, with the difference
between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of
whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Position presents information showing how the City's net position
changed during the year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the
change occurs, regardless of timing of related cash flows.
In the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Position, City activities are
separated as follows:
Governmental Activities — Most of the City's basic services are reported in this category, including Public Safety,
Public Works and Parks, Community Development, Cultural and Recreation, and Government Administration
(finance, human resources, legal, City Clerk and City Manager operations). Property tax, sales and use taxes, user
fees, interest income, franchise fees, hotel taxes, business licenses, and property transfer taxes, plus state and
federal grants finance these activities.
Business -type Activities — The City charges fees to customers to cover the full costs of certain services it provides.
The City's Parking Services program is the City's sole business -type activity.
Discretely Presented Component Units — The government—wide financial statements include not only the City itself
(the primary government), but also the San Rafael Sanitation District, a legally separate entity for which the City is
financially accountable. Financial information for the San Rafael Sanitation District is reported separately from the
financial information presented for the primary government.
The government -wide financial statements can be found on pages 25 through 27 of this report.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2016
Fund Financial Statements and Major Component Unit Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated
for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to
ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City are
divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
The fund financial statements provide detailed information about each of the City's most significant funds called
major funds. The concept of major funds and the determination of the major funds were established in the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 34. Each major fund is presented individually with all
non -major funds summarized and presented in a single column. Further detail on the non -major funds is presented
on pages 106 through 125 of this report.
Governmental Funds — Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as
governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. However, unlike the government -wide
financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable
resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information
may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term financial capacity.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government -wide financial statements, it is
useful to compare the information presented for government funds with similar information presented for
governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand
the long-term impact of the government's near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet
and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a
reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. These
reconciliations are presented on the page immediately following each governmental fund financial statement.
The City has twenty-nine governmental funds, of which three are considered major funds for presentation purposes.
Each major fund is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund
statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances. The City's three major funds are: the General
Fund, Gas Tax, and Traffic and Housing Mitigation. Data from the other twenty-six governmental funds are
combined into a single, aggregated presentation. The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on
pages 30 through 33 of this report. Individual fund data for each of these non -major governmental funds is
provided in the form of combining statements on pages 106 through 125 of this report.
Proprietary Funds — The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds - enterprise funds and internal
service funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business -type activities in the
government -wide financial statements. The City uses an enterprise fund to account for its Parking Services
program and reports it as a major fund. Internal service funds are used to accumulate and allocate costs internally
among the City's various functions. The City uses internal service funds to account for its building maintenance;
vehicle, equipment and computer replacement; workers' compensation; general liability; self-insured dental
program; other employee and retiree benefits programs. Because these services predominantly benefit
governmental rather than business -type functions, they have been included within governmental activities in the
government -wide financial statements.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government -wide financial statements, only in more
detail. Like the government -wide financial statements, proprietary fund financial statements use the accrual basis
of accounting. There is no reconciliation needed between the government -wide financial statements for business -
type activities and the proprietary fund financial statements.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 36 through 38 of this report.

CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2016
Fiduciary Funds — Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the
government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government -wide financial statements because the resources of
those funds are not available to support the City's own programs. The City acts as an agent on behalf of others,
holding amounts collected, and disbursing them as directed or required. The City's fiduciary activities are reported
in the separate Statements of Fiduciary Net Position and the Agency Funds Statement of Changes in Assets and
Liabilities. The City's fiduciary funds include a private purpose trust fund to account for activities of the City of
San Rafael Successor Agency and an agency fund that accounts for resources held by the City in a custodial
capacity for the Pt. San Pedro Road Assessment District. Information for the fiduciary funds can be found on pages
40 through 41 of this report.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the
government -wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages
43 through 89 of this report.
Required Supplementary Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required
supplementary information. One section includes budgetary comparison statements for the major funds (general,
gas tax, and traffic and housing mitigation). The other section is a schedule of funding progress for the Marin
County Employees' Retirement System. All budgeted positions that are filled by either full-time or permanent part-
time employees (working seventy-five percent of full-time equivalent) are eligible to participate in this system.
Required supplementary information can be found on pages 93 through 100 of this report.
GOVERNMENT -WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Statement of Net Position
Net position is one indicator of the City's financial position. During this fiscal year, the net position of the City
was $131.7 million from Governmental Activities and $9.8 million from Business -type Activities, for a total of
$141.5 million. This represents a decrease of $10.0 million from the prior year net position.

CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2016
The following is the condensed Statement of Net Position for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:
Summary of Net Position
(in thousands)
Governmental assets increased by $9.5 million, primarily due to increases in cash and short-term receivables
associated with positive operating results and set aside for specific purposes (e.g., public safety facility construction
and improvements, other capital improvement projects, and risk management reserves). Current and other liabilities
increased by approximately $1.2 million, primarily due to an increase in unearned revenue. Noncurrent
governmental liabilities increased by $66.7 million, mostly attributable to the increase in net pension liability (Note
9).
The net position in business -type activities reflects the activity of the Parking Services program and increased by
$16 thousand from the previous year. The $2.0 million increase in noncurrent liabilities was driven by the increase
in net pension liability, but was substantially offset by a $1.2 million increase in deferred outflows and a
$0.4 million decrease in deferred inflows.
At June 30, 2016, the largest portion of net position in the amount of $204.7 million consisted of the City's
investment in capital assets net of related debt. This component represents the total amount of funds required to
acquire capital assets less any related debt used for such acquisition that is still outstanding. The City uses these
assets to provide services to residents. The capital assets of the City are not sources of income for repayment of
debt as most assets are not revenue generating and generally are not liquidated to repay debt. Therefore, debt
service payments are funded from other sources available to the City.

CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2016
The City's governmental activities net position decreased by $10.0 million during fiscal year 2015-2016. Charges
for services were approximately $1.6 million higher than those of the previous year. This increase was driven by
the reporting of San Rafael Sanitation District personnel reimbursement -related charges in the newly established
internal service fund.
Meanwhile, the City recorded a $2.1 million year -over -year increase in Sales taxes, $1.2 million of which was due
to a one-time catch up of sales tax revenues that were delayed during the 10 -year State modification to sales tax
distribution (Triple Flip) which terminated on December 31, 2015. Property taxes and transient occupancy taxes
registered year -over year increases of $1.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Miscellaneous revenues were
down $0.9 million, due to by approximately $0.8 million in reimbursements of State -mandated costs recorded in
the previous year.
The fiscal year 2015-2016 governmental expenses were $30.3 million more than those of the previous fiscal year.
Approximately $25 million of this increase is attributable to the allocation of pension expense under GASB 68. The
remaining year -over -year increase is attributable to other operating costs, which increased by approximately $5
million, which is consistent with the rate of revenue growth supporting these expenses.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF INDIVIDUAL FUNDS
Governmental Funds
Fund Balance Classifications
In February 2009, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 54 (GASB 54), Fund
Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. The objective of GASB 54 was to enhance the
usefulness of fund balance information by providing clearer fund balance classifications that can be applied. Under
GASB 54, fund balances are classified in five categories: nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and
unassigned based on hierarchy of constraint. Further details on fund balance classifications can be found in Note
8B.
The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances
of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City's financial capacity. In particular,
unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at
the end of the fiscal year.
As of June 30, 2016, the City reported a combined ending fund balance of $50.2 million of all its governmental
funds (an increase of $2.4 million from the prior year): $0.5 million is non -spendable, $27.5 million is restricted,
$3.8 million is committed, $16.6 million is assigned and $1.8 million is unassigned.
General Fund - The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City.
General Fund - The fund balance of the General Fund as of June 30, 2016 was $18.7 million (an increase of
$4.3 million from the prior year balance): $0.5 million is non -spendable, $16.4 million is assigned, and
$1.8 million is unassigned. The assigned portion of the balance includes $6.9 million for emergency and cash flow
needs, which meets the minimum target reserve of ten percent of operating expenditures.
General Fund Budcetary Hi2hli2hts:
The original adopted General Fund budget projected total revenue of $72.7 million and transfers -in of $1.3 million
for total resources of $74.0 million. This budget appropriated expenditures of $67.1 million and transfers -out of
$2.6 million for total appropriations of $69.7 million. Transfers -out were later increased by $1.8 million to
accommodate the funding of the San Rafael Essential Facilities project from Measure E Transactions and Use Tax
(TUT), based on actual project expenditures.
Actual revenues, at $74.8 million, exceeded the original budgeted revenues by $2.1 million. This positive
performance was driven by tax revenues (primarily property tax and transient occupancy tax) that exceeded budget
projections, coupled with approximately $500K in unanticipated reimbursements for fire strike team activity.
Fiscal year 2015-2016 General Fund revenues exceeded expenditures and net transfers by $4.3 million. Of this
amount, $1.9 million was added to Measure E - Public Safety Facility reserve; $1.0 was assigned to one-time MOU
contractual obligations; $0.4 million was added to the Emergency Cash Flow reserve; $0.4 million was added to the
Infrastructure reserve; $0.3 million was added to the General Plan / Long Range Planning reserve; $0.2 million was
used for prepaid expenses, and $0.1 million was retained in Unassigned General Fund balance.

Traffic and Housing Mitigation Fund — The City uses this fund to collect developer contributions to be used for
major street improvement and housing infrastructure projects. During the year, the fund balance decreased from
$12.2 million to $10.4 million. Revenues totaled $0.4 million, while $0.7 million was charged against this fund to
support the maintenance of the City-wide traffic model, including the Tamalpais Avenue queue cutter. In addition,
$1.5 million was transferred to the Gas Tax Fund to support the Downtown Rail Readiness project. The balance in
the fund is being held in anticipation of major street projects identified in the General Plan 2020 and other
qualifying expenditures.
Gas Tax Fund — The City uses this fund to manage its allocation of State gasoline taxes and local funding for street
maintenance projects. Gas tax expenditures exceeded revenues and net transfers by $948 thousand in fiscal year
2015-2016 and the ending fund balance decreased from $7.6 million as of June 30, 2015, to $6.7 million as of June
30, 2016.
Expenditures during fiscal year 2015-2016 totaled $7.1 million. In addition to routine street -related maintenance,
expenditures include $2.3 million for Downtown Rail Readiness, $1.2 million for miscellaneous street resurfacing,
$811K for Del Presidio Blvd—Pt. San Pedro resurfacing, and $638K for H Street drainage improvements.
The largest sources of revenues were $1.3 million in development impact fees, $1.2 million from State gasoline
taxes, $596 thousand in local Measure A funds, and $188 thousand in reimbursements.
Non -major Governmental Funds — The City's non -major funds are presented in the basic financial statements in
the aggregate. At June 30, 2016, non -major funds had a total fund balance of $14.4 million, a $1.4 million increase
from the previous year. The increase included a $242 thousand increase to the childcare operating and capital
reserves, a $377 thousand increase in emergency medical services reserves. The remaining increase of
approximately $0.8 million is the net of capital accumulation for major projects (e.g., Andersen Drive), less
spending down on other capital projects (e.g., Rossi Pump Station, Terra Linda pool house improvements).
Of the ending total non -major fund balances of $14.4 million: $10.5 million (73%) is legally restricted for specific
purposes by external funding source providers, $3.8 million (26%) is committed for special purposes by the City
Council, and $ 0.1 million (1%) is assigned. Additional information about these aggregated non -major funds is
presented in the combining statements which immediately follow the required supplementary information.

Proprietary Funds
The City's proprietary funds are presented in the basic financial statements in a manner similar to that found in the
government -wide financial statements, but in more detail. As noted in the Summary of Changes in Net Position —
Business -type Activities at page 36, the City's proprietary fund net position was increased by $10.6 thousand
during the fiscal year. The Parking Services Fund is the City's sole business -type (Enterprise) activity.
The proprietary fund operating revenue was increased by $36 thousand in fiscal year 2015-2016 to $5.212 million.
The Enterprise fund operating expenses were $4.6 million in fiscal year 2015-2016, an increase of $0.5 million
over the prior fiscal year.
The City's Internal Service Funds are also reported in this Proprietary Fund classification. In fiscal year 2015-2016,
the Internal Services Funds were comprised of: Building Maintenance, Vehicle Replacement, Equipment
Replacement, Employee Benefits, Liability Insurance, Workers' Compensation, Dental Insurance, Employee
Retirement, and OPEB/Retiree Medical. The following additional three funds have now been reclassified into
Internal Service Funds:
Radio Replacement Fund — In prior years, this fund was part reported under the Capital Projects Funds. Effective
in fiscal year 2015-2016, the City reclassified this fund to an Internal Service Fund. As of June 30, 2016, the Radio
Replacement Fund had a total net position of $383 thousand, all of which was unrestricted.
Telephone Replacement Fund — In prior years, this fund was part reported under the Capital Projects Funds.
Effective in fiscal year 2015-2016, the City reclassified this to an Internal Service Fund. As of June 30, 2016, the
Telephone Replacement Fund had a total net position of $338 thousand, all of which was unrestricted.
Sewer Maintenance — In prior years, this fund was reported under the Special Revenue Funds. Effective in fiscal
year 2015-2016, the City reclassified this fund to an Internal Service Fund to record both the cost of providing
services to the San Rafael Sanitation District and the charges for those services. As of June 30, 2016, the Sewer

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2016
ECONOMIC CLIMATE AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET
Seven years after the official end of the Great Recession, the City's revenues have firmly established themselves above
the former peak set at the end of the last decade. As the City looks ahead to fiscal year 2016-2017, management is
encouraged by indicators that the local economy will remain vibrant. However, relatively strong growth in the regional
economy continues to be tempered by uncertainty at the state, national and international levels.
The nation continues to bounce back slowly, fueled by a resurgent housing market and consistent job growth. While
elements of the national economy are on the mend, there are many longer-term issues the nation must address, including
funding changes to the national healthcare system, long-term underemployment and unemployment, and resolving
underfunded federal entitlements and state and local pensions.
The California economy continues to rebound from the recession. Although the 5.4% unemployment rate remains above
the national average of 4.9%, it continues to fall and remains on a convergent track with the national average. Personal
income has rebounded over the past few years, and the State continues to prosper from the flow of capital into the
technology companies who are attracted to California. Although the State's has been able to slowly build back its reserves
and post budget surpluses, there are concerns that budget shortfalls could return within the next few years. In addition, the
"wall of debt" which, when pension and retiree medical liabilities are considered, reaches into the hundreds of billions of
dollars and managing the impact of the severe drought most of the 58 counties are likely to burden the State for several
years.
Locally, the 3.5% Marin County unemployment rate is the second lowest in the State. According to the Marin Economic
Forum, the County added 2,600 payroll jobs and gained approximately 200 payroll businesses in 2015. Real personal
income is projected to grow at an average rate of just over 2% over the next year, and Marin County's taxable sales per
capital are the third highest in the State. Marin County median home prices now hover around $1 million and continue to
rise, while the recovery of commercial real estate has led to stable rents averaging $2.60 per square foot.
The City's general fund is fueled by the momentum of four consecutive years of strong operating results. Service levels
have increased moderately over the past few years, with additional resources being allocated to homeless issues,
massage ordinance enforcement, open space management and deferred maintenance. At the same time, the City is fully
funding its actuarially -determined, required contributions for both pension and retiree medical (OPEB) obligations.
The City enters fiscal year 2016-2017 with approximately $6.3 million accumulated from a dedicated portion of its
Measure E Transaction Use Tax (TUT) for public safety facilities construction and improvements. One-third of this
twenty-year San Rafael three-quarter percent TUT, which became effective April 1, 2014, has been set aside by City
Council direction for this purpose.
Reductions in staffing and service levels, coupled with deferred maintenance of City facilities as method of coping with
past economic downturns means that, although the City is able to maintain and, in some cases, improve on its level of
services and make come strategic investments for the City's future, there will still be critical, unfunded capital and
maintenance needs.
The trends for sales tax and transactions and use tax (Measure E), which combined represent the City's largest tax
revenue generators, suggested continued, but moderate growth. For fiscal year 2016-2017, these taxes are projected to
increase by approximately four percent.
The City's second largest tax generator is property tax. The City is expecting the fiscal year 2015-2016 tax roll to increase
by approximately five percent over the previous year. Other tax and non -tax revenues are expected to grow moderately, in
the range of two to four percent.
20
CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2016
The City's largest expenditure relates to personnel costs. Salaries and benefits are tied to the labor agreements with
each bargaining group. With the exception of SEIU-Childcare, which has a one-year contract terminating on
October 31, 2016, the City's labor units are all operating under contracts that expire on June 30, 2018. Negotiated
compensation increases in effect through June 30, 2018 range between 3.0% and 4.0% for the year.
In the bond markets, the San Rafael name is recognized as a high credit municipal entity given both the City's financial
strength and solid financial management. Because the City's bonds are highly sought by investors and are fairly
competitive in the marketplace, the City can borrow funds at reasonably attractive rates. The City maintains an AA- issuer
credit rating with Standard & Poor's Ratings Services.
The City anticipates spending down most of its funds accumulated for the San Rafael Essential Facilities capital
improvements project. This project, which includes a new public safety administrative building and major safety and
operational improvements to fire stations, is being funded from a dedicated portion of the Measure E TUT. Other General
Fund balances are expected to remain stable for the year.

CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
STATEMENT OF NET POSITION AND
STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities summarize the entire City's financial
activities and financial position. They are also referred to as Government -wide financial statements.
The Statement of Net Position 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-term debt. The Statement of Net Position
focuses the reader on the composition of the City's net position, by subtracting total liabilities from total
assets.
The Statement of Net Position summarizes the financial position of all of 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 position. It is also prepared on
the full accrual basis, which means it includes all the City's revenues and all its expenses, regardless of
when cash changes hands. This differs from the "modified accrual" basis used in the Fund financial
statements, which reflect only current assets, current liabilities, available revenues and measurable
expenditures.
The 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
Position is computed and reconciled with the Statement of Net Position.
Both these Statements include the financial activities of the City and the San Rafael Joint Powers
Financing Authority which are legally separate but are considered to be component units of the City
because they are controlled by the City, which is financially accountable for their activities. The balances
and the activities of the San Rafael Sanitation District, a discretely presented component unit, are
included in these statements in a separate column.

FUND BALANCES TO NET POSITION OF GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES
JUNE 30, 2016
Total fund balances reported on the governmental funds balance sheet
Amounts reported for Governmental Activities in the Statement of Net Position are
different from those reported in the Governmental Funds because of the following:
Capital assets used in Governmental Activities are not financial resources and,
therefore, are not reported in the Governmental Funds.
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the cost of management of
building, workers' compensation, employee benefits, insurance, and post-retirement healthcare benefits
to individual funds. The assets and liabilities are included in Governmental Activities in the Statement
of Net Position.
Interest payable on long-term debt does not require the use of current financial
resources and, therefore, are not reported in the Governmental Funds.
Long-term liabilities, including bonds payable, are not due and payable in the current
period and, therefore, are not reported in the Governmental Funds.

with the
STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2016
NET CHANGE IN FUND BALANCES - TOTAL GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS $3,040,045
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.
Capital outlay and improvement expenditures are therefore added back to fund balance 9,070,964
Non -capitalized capital outlay expenditures were reclassified to various governmental activities (28,749)
Depreciation expense is deducted from fund balance (6,275,340)
Long -Term Debt Proceeds and Payments
Repayments on long-term debt principal are expenditures in the governmental
funds, but in the Statement of Net Position the repayments reduce long-term liabilities. 75,172
Accrual of Non -Current Items
The amount below included in the Statement of Activities does not require the use of current financial resources
and therefore is not reported as revenue or expenditures in governmental funds (net change):
Compensated absences (33,730)
Unavailable revenue (250,189)
Long-term receivable from San Rafael Sanitary District 396,192
Net Pension Liability Transactions
Governmental funds record pension expense as it is paid. However,
in the Statement of Activities those costs are reversed as deferred outflows/(inflows)
and an increase/(decrease) in net pension liability. (17,396,696)
Allocation of Internal Service Fund Activities
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities to
individual funds. The net revenue of the internal service fund is reported with governmental activities. 1,448,976

PROPRIETARY FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Proprietary funds account for City operations financed and operated in a manner similar to a private business
enterprise. The intent of the City is that the cost of providing goods and services be financed primarily
through user charges, whether external or internal.
The City reports its only enterprise fund, as a major fund.
PARKING SERVICES FUND
Established to maintain parking garages, lots and spaces in the Downtown Parking District, and to pay for
parking enforcement and meter collection.
INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS
Established to account for department services and financing performed for other departments within the
same governmental jurisdiction. Funding comes from charges assessed to the departments benefiting
from the service.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2016
NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Description of the Financial Reporting Entity
As required by generally accepted accounting principles, the financial statements present the City of
San Rafael (the City) as the Primary Government, with its component units for which the City is
considered financially accountable. The component units discussed below are included in the City's
reporting entity because of the significance of their operational and financial relationships with the
City.
B. Description of Blended Component Units
The accompanying basic financial statements include all funds and boards and commissions that
are controlled by the City Council. The basic financial statements include the City's blended
component units, entities for which the City is considered to be financially accountable. A
blended component unit, although a legally separate entity, is in substance, part of the City's
operations and so data from this entity is combined with the City. The City's blended component
units are described below.
San Rafael Joint Powers Financing Authority — The San Rafael Joint Powers Financing
Authority (Authority) was formed by the City of San Rafael and the former San Rafael
Redevelopment Agency (Agency) pursuant to Articles 1 and 2 of Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title
1 of the Government Code of the State of California for the purpose of assisting in the financing
and refinancing of certain assessment district and redevelopment -related activities in the City. On
March 18, 2013, the Agency was replaced by the California Municipal Finance Authority
(CMFA) in order that the life of the Authority would extend beyond that of the Agency. The
Authority is administered by a governing board whose members are the City Council of the City
of San Rafael.
Activities of the Authority are reported in the Parking Services Enterprise Funds. Separate
financial statements are not prepared for the Authority.
G Description of Discretely Presented Component Unit
San Rafael Sanitation District — The San Rafael Sanitation District (District) was formed in
1947 under Section 4700 of the California Health and Safety Code to provide wastewater
transmission over the southern two-thirds of the City and adjacent unincorporated areas.
The District is governed by a three-member Board of Directors who are appointed to four-year
terms. The City Council of the City appoints two out of the three board members and has the
ability to remove the two board members at will.
The City contracts with the District to maintain the collection systems in the City and surrounding
unincorporated areas. These employees are paid through the City's payroll department and
participate in the City's cost-sharing multiple -employer defined benefit pension plan administered
by the Marin County Employees' Retirement Association (Association). These costs are the
obligation of the District and not the City. As discussed in Note 4H, a receivable from the District
has been established.
43
CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended June 30, 2016
NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) N
The District's activities are reported as a discretely presented component unit in a separate
column in the basic financial statements which includes the District's assets, liabilities, revenues,
expenses, results of operations and cash flows. The District's fiscal year ends on June 30 and its
separately issued component unit financial statements can be obtained at the San Rafael
Sanitation District, 111 Morphew Street, San Rafael, California 94901.
D. Basis of Presentation
Government -wide Statements - The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities
display information about the primary government (the City) and its component units. These
statements include the financial activities of the overall City government, except for fiduciary
activities. Interfund transfers and amounts owed between funds within the primary government
have been eliminated from the statements. Amounts representing interfund services and uses
remain in the statements. 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 direct 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. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program
or function. 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
needs of a particular program and (c) fees, grants and contributions that are restricted to financing
the acquisition or construction of capital assets. Revenues that are not classified as program
revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues.
Fund Financial Statements - The fund financial statements provide information about the City's
funds, including fiduciary funds and blended component units. Separate statements for each fund
category — governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary — are presented. The emphasis of fund
financial statements is on major individual governmental and enterprise funds, each of which is
displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental and enterprise funds are aggregated
and reported as non -major funds.
Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange
transactions associated with the principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in
which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values. Nonoperating revenues, such as
subsidies and investment earnings, result from nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities.
E. Major Funds and Other Reported Funds
Major funds are defined as funds that have either assets, liabilities, revenues or
expenditures/expenses equal to ten percent of their fund -type total and five percent of the grand
total. The General Fund is always a major fund. The City may also select other funds it believes
should be presented as major funds.
CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended June 30, 2016
NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) N
The City reported the following major governmental funds in the accompanying financial
statements:
General Fund — Established to account for all financial resources necessary to carry out basic
governmental activities of the City which are not accounted for in another fund.
Traffic and Housing Mitigation Special Revenue Fund — Established to maintain long-term
developer contributions for major housing and street improvement projects.
Gas Tax Special Revenue Fund - Established to receive and expend the City's allocation of the
State gasoline taxes.
The City reported its only enterprise fund as a major fund in the accompanying financial
statements. The enterprise fund is:
Parking Services Fund — Established to maintain parking garages, lots and spaces in the
Downtown Parking District, and to pay for parking enforcement, meter collection, and downtown
enforcement services.
The City also reports the following fund types:
Internal Service Funds - These funds account for: building maintenance; vehicle, equipment
computer, radio, and telephone replacement; employee benefits; liability insurance; workers'
compensation; dental insurance; employee retirement; and retiree medical (OPEB); and sewer
maintenance.
Fiduciary Fund — These funds include: Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency Private -
Purpose Trust Fund — which accounts for the accumulation of resources held by the Successor
Agency to the Redevelopment Agency to be used for payments at appropriate amounts and times
in the future; Pt. San Pedro Road Assessment District Agency Fund — which accumulates funds
for the payment of principal and interest for Pt. San Pedro Road Median Landscaping District
bonds. The financial activities of these funds are excluded from the government -wide financial
statements, but are presented in the separate Fiduciary Fund financial statements.
F. Basis of Accounting
The government -wide, proprietary, fiduciary and discretely presented component unit 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. Agency funds are
custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not involve measurement of results of
operations.
45
CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended June 30, 2016
NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) N
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 with the exception of
sales and use tax revenues which are reported as available if collected within ninety days of year-
end. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal
and interest on long-term debt, claims and judgments, and compensated absences, which are
recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. General capital asset acquisitions are
reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds from long-term debt and acquisitions
under capital leases are reported as other financing sources.
Those revenues susceptible to accrual are property and sales taxes, certain intergovernmental
revenues, interest revenue, charges for services, fines and forfeitures. Other receipts and taxes are
recognized as revenue when the cash is received.
Non-exchange transactions, in which the City gives or receives value without directly, receiving
or giving equal value in exchange, include taxes, grants, entitlements, and donations. On the
accrual basis, revenue from taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied or
assessed. Revenue from grants, entitlements, and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in
which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Under the terms of grant agreements, the
City may fund certain programs with a combination of cost -reimbursement grants, categorical
block grants, and general revenue. Thus, both restricted and unrestricted net position may be
made 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.
The City considers restricted shared state revenues such as gasoline taxes and public safety sales
taxes, restricted locally imposed transportation sales taxes, fines, forfeitures, licenses, permits,
charges for services, and program grants as program revenues.
Certain indirect costs are included in program expenses reported for individual functions and
activities.
G. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position or balance sheet will sometimes report a
separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element,
deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future
period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until
then.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position or balance sheet will sometimes report
a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element,
deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position or fund balance that
applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue)
until that time. Unavailable revenue, a type of deferred inflow of resources, is reported in the
governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from
three sources: taxes receivable, interest on interfund advances and loans receivable. These
amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts
become available.

NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) I
H. Budgets, Budgetary Accounting, and Encumbrances
The City adopts an annual budget which is effective July 1 for the ensuing fiscal year. The budget
reflects estimated revenues and expenditures, except for the capital projects funds and the Peacock
Gap Assessment District Debt Service Fund. Appropriations and spending authorizations for
projects in the capital projects funds and some special revenue funds are approved by the City
Council on a multi-year basis. From the effective date of the budget, which is adopted at the
department level, the amounts stated therein as proposed expenditures become appropriations to the
various City departments. The City Council may amend the budget by resolution during the fiscal
year in order to respond to emerging needs, changes in resources, or shifting priorities.
Expenditures may not exceed appropriations at the fund level, which is the legal level of control.
The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between accounts, departments or
funds; the Council must approve any increase in the City's operating expenditures as well as any
appropriations for capital projects.
Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for the
General Fund and Special Revenue Funds.
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders for expenditures are recorded in order to
reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is employed as an extension of the budgetary
process. All unencumbered appropriations lapse at year end.
L Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the City considers all highly liquid investments
(including all restricted assets) with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash
equivalents. The City maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use by all funds.
As the proprietary funds' share of this pool is readily available when needed, such share is also
considered to be cash equivalent. Deposit assets in the proprietary funds are related to insurance
and benefits and are not considered cash equivalents for purposes of the statement of cash flows.
J. Capital Assets
All capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is
not available. Contributed capital assets are valued at their estimated fair market value on the
date contributed.
The City has included the value of all infrastructure capital assets into its Basic Financial
Statements using the Basic Approach for infrastructure reporting.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
Interest incurred during the construction phase is reflected in the capitalized value of the asset
constructed, net of interest earned on the invested proceeds over the same period.
Capital assets, excluding infrastructure, are recorded if acquisition or construction costs exceed
$25,000. The similar threshold for infrastructure is $25,000.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended June 30, 2016
NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) N
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method which means the cost of the asset is divided
by its expected useful life in years and the result is charged to expense each year until the asset is
fully depreciated. The purpose of depreciation is to spread the cost of capital assets equitably
among all users over the life of these assets. The amount charged to depreciation expense each year
represents that year's pro rata share of the cost of capital assets.
The City has assigned the useful lives listed below to capital assets:
Buildings, improvements, and structures 20 — 50 years
Machinery and equipment 4 — 20 years
Infrastructure 15 — 50 years
K. Compensated Absences
Compensated absences are accrued as earned. Upon termination, employees are paid for all unused
vacation at their current hourly rates. Unused sick leave may be compensable up to 600 hours,
depending upon the provisions of the MOUs, which vary by bargaining unit.
The long-term portion of the liability for compensated absences for governmental fund type
operations is recorded as compensated absences in the government -wide financial statements.
Compensated absences are liquidated by the fund that has recorded the liability. Proprietary fund
liabilities are recorded within their respective funds. The long-term portion of governmental
activities compensated absences is liquidated primarily by the General Fund.
The changes of the compensated absences were as follows:

L. Property Tax Levy, Collection and Maximum Rates
State of California Constitution Article XIII A provides that the combined maximum property tax
rate on any given property may not exceed 1% of its assessed value unless an additional amount for
general obligation debt has been approved by voters. Assessed value is calculated at 100% of market
value as defined by Article XIII A and may be adjusted by no more than 2% per year unless the
property is sold, transferred, or substantially improved. The State Legislature has determined the
method of distribution of receipts from a I% tax levy among the counties, cities, school districts and
other districts. Marin County assesses properties, bills for and collects property taxes on the schedule
that follows:
Secured Unsecured
Valuation/lien dates January 1 January 1
Levy dates July 1 July 1
Due dates (delinquent as of) 50% on November 1 (December 10) July 1 (August 31)
50% on February 1 (April 10)
The term "unsecured" refers to taxes on personal property other than land and buildings. These taxes
are secured by liens on the property being taxed.
Property taxes are levied and recorded as revenue when received in the fiscal year of levy because of
the adoption of the "alternate method of property tax distribution," known as the Teeter Plan, by the
City and the County of Marin. The Teeter Plan authorized the auditor -controller of the County of
Marin to allocate 100% of the secured property taxes billed, but not yet paid. The County of Marin
remits tax monies to the City in three installments, as follows:
55% remitted on December 15
40% remitted on April 15
5% remitted on June 15
M. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent asset and liabilities at the dates of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting
periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

N. Recategorization of Funds and New Funds
In Fiscal Year 2015-2016, the City reclassified the Telephone Replacement Fund and Radio
Replacement Fund from Capital Project Funds to Internal Service Funds. In addition, the City
reclassified the Sewer Maintenance Fund from Special Revenue Funds to Internal Service Funds.
As a result of the fund recategorization, total fund balance of the governmental funds were
reduced by $620,969 as of July 1, 2015. Concurrently, total net positions of the Internal Service
Funds were increased by the same amount.
The City added a capital projects fund, San Rafael Essential Facilities, for the purpose of
reporting major capital improvements to public safety facilities.
O. Implementation of Accounting Standards
Adopted in the Current Year
GASB Statement No. 72 — In February 2015, GASB issued Statement No. 72, Fair Value
Measurement and Application. The primary objective of this is to define fair value and describe
how fair value should be measured, define what assets and liabilities should be measured at fair
value, and determine what information about fair value should be disclosed in the notes to the
financial statements. The Statement is effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2015, or the
2015-2016 fiscal year. This pronouncement was implemented effected July 1, 2015.
GASB Statement No. 76 — In June 2015, GASB issued Statement No. 76, The Hierarchy of
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for State and Local Governments. The objective of
this statement is to reduce the GAAP hierarchy to two categories of authoritative GAAP from the
four categories under GASB Statement No. 55. The statement is effective for the periods
beginning after June 15, 2015, or the 2015-2016 fiscal year.
GASB Statement No. 79 — In December 2015, GASB issued Statement No. 79, Certain External
Investment Pools and Pool Participants. The objective of this Statement is to address for certain
external investment pool and their participants the accounting and financial reporting implications
that result from changes in the regulatory provisions referenced by previous accounting and
financial reporting standards. This statement is effective for the periods beginning after December
15, 2015, or the 2015-2016 fiscal year.

P. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The City
categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally
accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy categorizes the inputs to valuation
techniques used to measure fair value into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in
measuring fair value are observable in the market.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
Level 2 inputs are inputs — other than quoted prices included within level 1 — that are
observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
If the fair value of an asset or liability is measured using inputs from more than one level of the fair
value hierarchy, the measurement is considered to be based on the lowest priority level input that is
significant to the entire measurement.
I NOTE 2 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS I
A. Policies
The City maintains an investment policy that emphasizes safety, liquidity and reasonable market
yield. This policy is reviewed and approved by the City Council annually.
The City invests in individual investments and in investment pools. Individual investments are
evidenced by specific identifiable securities instruments, or by an electronic entry registering the
owner in the records of the institution issuing the security, called the book entry system. In order to
increase security, the City employs the trust department of a bank as the custodian of certain City
managed investments, regardless of their form.
California Law requires banks and savings and loan institutions to pledge government securities
with a market value of 110% of the City's cash on deposit, or first trust deed mortgage notes with a
market value of 150% of the deposit, as collateral for these deposits. Under California Law this
collateral is held in a separate investment pool by another institution in the City's name and places
the City ahead of general creditors of the institution.
The City's investments are carried at fair value, as required by generally accepted accounting
principles. The City adjusts the carrying value of its investments to reflect their fair value at each
fiscal year end, and it includes the effects of these adjustments in income for that fiscal year.

under the terms of certain debt issues. These funds are unexpended bond proceeds or are pledged as
reserves to be used if there are insufficient resources to meet debt repayment obligations. The
California Government Code requires these funds to be invested in accordance with City ordinance
bond indentures or State statute. The table below identifies the investment types that are authorized
for investments held by fiscal agents. The table also identifies certain provisions of these debt
agreements:
(A) Guaranteed Investment Contracts must be fully collateralized with U.S.
Treasury Obligations or U.S. Agency Obligations.
E. GASB 72 Fair Value Hierarchy
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The hierarchy is based on the valuation
inputs used to measure fair value of the assets. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in an active
market for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; and Level 3
inputs are significant unobservable inputs.

Source: The above GASB 72 classifications into the different Input Levels are provided by the US Bank Institutional Trust & Custody.
(a) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active market for identical assets. These are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets at the
measurement date. An active market forthe asset is a market in which transactions forthe asset occurwith sufficient frequency and volume
to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
(b) Level inputs are significant other observable inputs. These inputs include: a) Quoted prices for similar assets in active markets; b) Quoted
prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active; and c) Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for an asset.
(c) Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. These inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the er3ent that observable inputs
are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset at the measurement date,
unobservable inputs shall reflect the assumptions that market particpants would use in pricing the asset including assumptions about risk.
(d) This pertains to the City -owned bonds ofits investments in Pt. San Pedro that has no trading market and is thus listed under Level 3.
This bond is valued using discounted cash flow techniques.
(e) The Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is classified in Level 2 is valued based on the fair value factor provided by the Treasurer
ofthe State ofCalifomia, which is calculated as the fair value divided by the amortized cost ofthe investment pool.
(f) The County Investment Pool, held by the San Rafael Sanitary District, that is classified in Level
is valued based on other observable inputs.

F. Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of
an investment. Normally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its
fair value to changes in market interest rates. The City also manages its interest rate risk by holding
most investments to maturity, thus reversing unrealized market gains and losses.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City's investments (including investments
held by bond trustee) to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that
shows the distribution of the City's investments by maturity or earliest call date:

the value of the pool share. The balance is available for withdrawal on demand, and is based on the
accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis.
Included in LAIF's investment portfolio are collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage-backed
securities, other asset-backed securities, loans to certain state funds, and floating rate securities issued
by federal agencies, government-sponsored enterprises, United States Treasury Notes and Bills, and
corporations. At June 30, 2016, these investments matured in an average of 167 days.
Money Market Mutual Funds are available for withdrawal on demand. The investment portfolio of
the Money Market Mutual Fund had an average maturity of 42 days at June 30, 2016.
The County's investment pool is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an
investment company. The pool has a credit rating of "AAA/V1." Investments made by the
Treasurer are regulated by the California Government Code and by the County's investment policy.
The objectives of the policy are in order of priority, safety, liquidity, yield, and public trust. The
County has established a treasury oversight committee to monitor and review the management of
public funds maintained in the investment pool in accordance with Article 6 Section 27131 of the
California Government Code. The oversight committee and the Board of Supervisors review and
approve the investment policy annually. The County Treasurer prepares and submits a
comprehensive investment report to the members of the oversight committee and the investment pool
participants every month. The report covers the types of investments in the pool, maturity dates, par
value, actual costs and fair value.

C. 2012 Authority Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds
On August 7, 2012, the Authority issued 2012 Authority Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds in the
amount of $6,750,000 bearing interest at rates from 2.00% to 4.00%. The proceeds of the Series
2012 Bonds were used to repay the Authority's 2003 Authority Lease Revenue Bonds that
financed the construction of the 3rd and C Street parking structure and achieved lower interest
rates and lower annual debt service payments. The refunding resulted in a net present value
savings to the City in debt service of $670,496. In addition, the requisition price exceeded the net
carrying amount of the old debt by $295,278. The Series 2012 Bonds are payable from lease
payments made by the City to the Authority for leasing the City facilities. The rights to these
lease payments have been irrevocably transferred by the Authority to the Trustee. Activities
related to the Series 2012 Bonds are reported in the Parking Services Enterprise Fund. Principal
payments are due annually on April 1 and interest is payable semiannually on October 1 and
April 1. The Bonds maturing on or prior to April 1, 2022 are not subject to optional redemption
prior to their maturity. The Bonds maturing on or after April 1, 2023 are subject to optional
redemption as a whole or in part on any date after April 1, 2022 at the option of the Authority, at
a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Bonds subject to redemption, plus accrued
interest to the date fixed for redemption, without premium.

NOTE 8 — NET POSITION AND FUND BALANCE (Continued) I
B. Fund Balance
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. The City's
fund balances are classified in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board
Statement Number 54 (GASB 54), Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type
Definitions, which requires the City to classify its fund balances based on spending constraints
imposed on the use of resources. For programs with multiple funding sources, the City
prioritizes and expends funds in the following order: Restricted, Committed, Assigned, and
Unassigned. Each category in the following hierarchy is ranked according to the degree of
spending constraint:
Nonspendable represents balances set aside that do not represent available, spendable resources
even though they are a component of assets. Fund balances required to be maintained intact, such
as Permanent Funds, and assets not expected to be converted to cash, such as prepaids, notes
receivable, and land held for redevelopment are included. However, if proceeds realized from the
sale or collection of nonspendable assets are restricted, committed or assigned, then
Nonspendable amounts are required to be presented as a component of the applicable category.
Restricted fund balances have external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors,
laws, regulations, or enabling legislation which requires the resources to be used only for a
specific purpose. Nonspendable amounts subject to restrictions are included along with spendable
resources.
Committed fund balances have constraints imposed by resolution of the City Council which may
be altered only by resolution of the City Council. Nonspendable amounts subject to council
commitments are included along with spendable resources.
Assigned fund balances are amounts constrained by the City's intent that they be used for a
specific purpose, but are neither restricted nor committed. Intent is expressed by the City
Manager as designated by the City Council and may be changed at the discretion of the City
Council or City Manager. This authorization is given through Resolution No. 13173 which
adopts the City's Fund Balance Policy. This category includes nonspendables, when it is the
City's intent to use proceeds or collections for a specific purpose; and residual fund balances, if
any, of Special Revenue, Capital Projects and Debt Service Funds which have not been restricted
or committed.
Unassigned fund balance represents residual amounts that have not been restricted, committed, or
assigned. This includes the residual General Fund balance and residual fund deficits, if any, of
other governmental funds

The City's defined benefit retirement plan is administered by the Marin County Employees'
Retirement Association (MCERA), a retirement system established in July 1950 and governed by
the California Constitution; the County Employees Retirement Law of 1937 (CERL or 1937 Act,
California government Code Section 31450 et seq.); the Public Employees' Pension Reform Act
of 2013 (PEPRA, Government Code Section 7522); the provisions of California Government
Code Section 7500 et seq; and the bylaws, procedures, and policies adopted by MCERA's Board
of Retirement. The Marin County Board of Supervisors may also adopt resolutions, as permitted
by the CERL and PEPRA, which may affect the benefits of MCERA members.
MCERA operates as a cost-sharing multiple employer defined benefit plan for the City and eight
other participating employers: County of Marin, Local Agency Formation Commission
(LAFCO), Marin City Community Services District, Marin County Superior Court,
Marin/Sonoma Mosquito and Vector Control District, Novato Fire Protection District, Southern
Marin Fire Protection District, and Tamalpais Community Services District. Separate actuarial
valuations are performed for these other agencies and districts, and the responsibility for funding
their plans rest with those entities. Post-retirement benefits are administered by MCERA to
qualified retirees.
Copies of MCERA's annual financial reports, which include required supplementary information
(RSI) for each plan may be obtained from their office at One McInnis Parkway, Suite 100, San
Rafael, CA 94903 or online at www.mcera.org.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 9 — PENSION PLANS (Continued) I
B. Benefit Provisions
Service Retirement: MCERA's service retirement benefits are based on the years of credited
service, final average compensation, and age at retirement, according to the applicable statutory
formula. Members who qualify for service retirement are entitled to receive monthly retirement
benefits for life.
General members hired prior to January 1, 2013 are eligible to retire once they attain the age of
50 (except Misc Tier 2, whereby the minimum age is 55) and have acquired 10 or more years of
retirement service credit. A member with 30 years of service is eligible to retire regardless of age.
A member who is age 70 or older is eligible to retire regardless of service credit. General
members who are first hired on or after January 1, 2013 are eligible to retire once they have
attained the age of 52, and have acquired 5 years of retirement service credit, or age 70,
regardless of service.
Safety members hired prior to January 1, 2013 are eligible to retire once they attain the age of 50
and have acquired 10 or more years of retirement service credit. A member with 20 years of
service is eligible to retire regardless of age. A member who is age 70 or older is eligible to retire
regardless of service. Safety members who are first hired on or after January 1, 2013 are eligible
to retire once they have attained the age of 50, and have acquired 5 years of retirement service
credit, or age 70, regardless of service.
Disability Retirement: A member with five years of service, regardless of age, who becomes
permanently incapacitated for the performance of duty is eligible to apply for a non -service
connected disability retirement. Any member who becomes permanently incapacitated for the
performance of duty as a result of injury or disease arising out of and in the course of
employment is eligible to apply for a service -connected disability retirement, regardless of
service length or age.
Death Benefits: MCERA provides specified death benefits to beneficiaries and members'
survivors. The death benefits provided depend on whether the member is active or retired. The
basic active member death benefit consists of a members' retirement contributions plus interest
plus one month's pay for each full year of service (up to a maximum of six month's pay).
Retiring members may choose from five retirement benefit payment options. Most retirees elect
to receive the unmodified allowance which provides the maximum benefit to the retiree and
continuance of 60% of the retiree's allowance to the surviving spouse or registered domestic
partner after the retiree's death. Other death benefits may be available based on the years of
service, marital status, and whether the member has minor children.
Cost of Living Adjustment: Retirement allowances are indexed for inflation. Most retirees
receive automatic basic cost of living adjustments (COLA's) based upon the Urban Consumer
Price Index (UCPI) for the San Francisco Bay Area. These adjustments go into effect on April 1
of each year. Annual COLA increases are statutorily capped at 2%, 3%, or 4% depending upon
the member's retirement tier. When the UCPI exceeds the maximum statutory COLA for the
member's tier, the difference is accumulated for use in future years when the UCPI is less than
the maximum statutory COLA. The accumulated percentage carryover is known as the COLA
Bank.

NOTE 9 — PENSION PLANS (Continued) I
C. Funding Policy
The funding policy of MCERA provides for actuarially determined periodic contributions by the
City at rates such that sufficient assets will be available to pay plan benefits when due. The
employer rates for normal cost are determined using the Entry Age Normal Actuarial Cost
Method, which takes into account those benefits that are expected to be earned in the future as
well as those already accrued.
The City contribution rates for the year ended June 30, 2016 were as follows:
These rates were determined by MCERA, based on the actuarial valuation dated June 30, 2014.
The actual rate of return on investments during that year was 18.07%. The actuarial value of
assets was determined using techniques that smooth the effects of short-term volatility in the
market value of investments over a period of five years. The smoothed return yielded 12.43%.
The City uses the actuarially determined percentages of payroll to calculate and pay contributions
to MCERA. Contributions to the plan from the City were $19,339,577 for the year ended June 30,
2016, based on a total payroll of $40,300,359, of which $32,126,272 represented the basis for the
plan contributions. Of the total payroll subject to plan contributions, $1,424,835 is attributable to
the San Rafael Sanitation District (SRSD), a component unit of the City.
Effective with the June 30, 2013 valuation, the Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL) as of June
30, 2013 is being amortized over a closed 17 -year period (16 years remaining as of June 30,
2014), except for the additional UAL attributable to the outstanding unfunded actuarial loss from
2009, which is being amortized over a separate closed period (currently 24 years).
D. Pension Liability and Pension Expense
At June 30, 2016, the City reported a liability of $142,323,127 for its proportionate share of the
net pension liability; deferred inflows of $33,817,085; deferred outflows of $39,886,216 due to
the change of assumptions; and additional deferred outflows of $19,339,577 from actual fiscal
year 2015-2016 pension contributions made after the measurement date. Consequently, the net
impact on the City's Statement of Net Position before allocations is $116,914,419. After
allocations to the San Rafael Sanitation District, the net impact on the City's Statement of
Position is $113,057,412.
The proportionate share of the annual pension expense is $19,107,673, or 61.43% of payroll.

These rates were determined by MCERA, based on the actuarial valuation dated June 30, 2014.
The actual rate of return on investments during that year was 18.07%. The actuarial value of
assets was determined using techniques that smooth the effects of short-term volatility in the
market value of investments over a period of five years. The smoothed return yielded 12.43%.
The City uses the actuarially determined percentages of payroll to calculate and pay contributions
to MCERA. Contributions to the plan from the City were $19,339,577 for the year ended June 30,
2016, based on a total payroll of $40,300,359, of which $32,126,272 represented the basis for the
plan contributions. Of the total payroll subject to plan contributions, $1,424,835 is attributable to
the San Rafael Sanitation District (SRSD), a component unit of the City.
Effective with the June 30, 2013 valuation, the Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL) as of June
30, 2013 is being amortized over a closed 17 -year period (16 years remaining as of June 30,
2014), except for the additional UAL attributable to the outstanding unfunded actuarial loss from
2009, which is being amortized over a separate closed period (currently 24 years).
D. Pension Liability and Pension Expense
At June 30, 2016, the City reported a liability of $142,323,127 for its proportionate share of the

Total Pension Liability (TPL) is the actuarial present value of projected benefit payments
attributed to past periods of employee service. For the purposes of Governmental Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 68 (GASB 68), MCERA and the City have adopted a
measurement date of June 30, 2015. The beginning of year measurement of TPL is based on the
actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2014. The TPL at the end of the measurement year, June 30,
2015, is also measured as of the valuation date of June 30, 2014, and projected to June 30, 2015.
The Plan Fiduciary Net Position (FNP) is the fair or market value of assets. The FNP at the
beginning of the year is based on the actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2014. The FNP at the end
of the measurement year, June 30, 2015, is also measured as of the valuation date of June 30,
2014, and projected to June 30, 2015. There were significant events during the projection period
related to actuarial assumption changes as discussed in the actuarial assumptions section of
Note 9.
The Net Pension Liability (NPL) is the City liability for benefits provided through its defined
benefit plan administered by MCERA. It is calculated by reducing the TPL by the FNP.

Actuarial assumptions:
The total pension liability as of June 30, 2015 was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June
30, 2014, using the following actuarial assumptions applied to all prior periods included in the
measurement. The key assumptions in the valuation were:
• Inflation: 3.25%
• Salary increases: 3.25% plus merit component
• COLA increases:
0 3% for those with a 4% COLA cap,
0 2.7% for those with a 3% COLA cap, and
0 1.9% for those with a 2% COLA cap
• Investment rate of return: 7.25% net of investment expense assumed
• Post -Retirement Mortality: Adopted Ca1PERS mortality tables projected generationally
using Scale MP2014
These assumptions constitute a significant change from those used in prior actuarial valuations: The
investment rate of return assumption of 7.25%, coupled with an inflation assumption of 3.25%, was
a decrease from the former 7.50% and 3.50% assumptions for investment returns and inflation,
respectively. The Post -Retirement Mortality assumption incorporated greater longevity
assumptions for retirees. The combined impact of these assumption changes were the major force
behind the growth in NPL from $74.3 million in the prior year to $142.3 million in the current year.
During the measurement year, the service cost and interest cost increased the NPL while
contributions and investment earnings offset by administrative expenses decreased the NPL. As a
result, the Net Pension Liability (NPL) increased from approximately $74.3 million as of June 30,
2014, to approximately $142.3 million as of June 30, 2015. This amount is used for the purpose of
reporting the City's share of NPL in the current reporting year, because the only MCERA GASB
67/68 report available at the time of the audit was that prepared as of June 30, 2015.

Asset Allocation Policy and Expected Long-term Rate of Return by Asset Class
The MCERA Board of Retirement has adopted an Investment Policy Statement (IPS), which
provides the framework for the management of MCERA's investments. The IPS establishes
MCERA's investment objectives and defines the principal duties of the Retirement Board, the
custodian bank, and the investment managers. The asset allocation plan is an integral part of the IPS
and is designed to provide an optimum and diversified mix of asset classes with return expectations
to satisfy expected liabilities while minimizing risk exposure. MCERA currently employs external
investment managers to manage its assets subject to the provisions of the policy. Plan assets are
managed on a total return basis with a long term objective of achieving and maintaining a fully
funded status for the benefits provided through the Plan. The following was the Retirement Board's
adopted asset allocation policy as of June 30, 2015:

Determination of Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the Total Pension Liability was 7.25%. Related to the discount
rate is the funding assumption that employees will continue to contribute to the plan at the required
rates and employers will continue the historical and legally required practice of contributing to the
plan based on an actuarially determined contribution, reflecting a payment equal to annual normal
cost, a portion of the expected administrative expenses, an amortization payment for the
extraordinary losses from 2009 amortized over a closed period (24 years remaining as of the June
30, 2014 actuarial valuation) and an amount necessary to amortize the remaining Unfunded
Actuarial Liability as a level percentage of payroll over a closed period (16 years remaining as of
the June 30, 2014 actuarial valuation).
A change in the discount rate would affect the measurement of the TPL. A lower discount rate
results in a higher TPL and higher discount rates results in a lower TPL. Because the discount rate
does not affect the measurement of assets, the percentage change in the NPL can be very significant
for a relatively small change in the discount rate. A one percent decrease in the discount rate
increases the TPL by approximately 13% and increases the NPL by approximately 85%. A one
percent increase in the discount rate decreases the TPL by approximately 11% and decreases the
NPL by approximately 70%.

NOTE 10 - PUBLIC AGENCY RETIREMENT SYSTEM (DEFINED CONTRIBUTION
RETIREMENT PLANS)
The City contributes to the Public Agency Retirement System (PARS), which administers a defined
contribution retirement plan. A defined contribution retirement plan provides retirement benefits in
return for services rendered, provides an individual account for each participant, and specifies how
contributions to the individual's accounts are determined instead of specifying the amount of
benefits the individual is to receive. The benefits a participant will receive depend on the amount
contributed to the participant's account, and the returns earned on investments on those
contributions. The Plan's trust administrator is Phase II, P.O. Box 12919, Newport Beach,
California 92658.
As established by the plan, all eligible part-time and temporary employees of the City become
participants in the plan from the date that they are hired. An eligible employee is any employee
who, at any time during which the employer maintains this plan, is not accruing a benefit under the
Marin County Employees' Retirement Fund.
As determined by the plan, each employee must contribute 3.75% of gross earnings to the plan.
The City contributes an additional 3.75% of the employee's gross earnings. Contributions made by
an employee and the employer vest immediately. No forfeitures were noted during the current
period.
During the year, the City and employees each contributed $82,853. The total covered payroll of
employees participating in the plan for the year ended June 30, 2016, was $2,209,366. The total
payroll for the year was $40,300,359.
The City also made contributions to a 401(a) tax qualified plan for eligible executive management
and mid -management employees, and elected officials. Under this plan, which was terminated
effective August 3, 2015, the percent amount of contribution ranged from 3% to 4.6% of base salary
of participating employees. During the year, and prior to the plan's termination, the City
contributed $3,770 on behalf of these employees.

Funding Policy and Actuarial Assumptions
The City's funding policy requires a minimum annual contribution equivalent to the annual required
contribution (ARC).
The ARC was determined as part of a June 30, 2013 actuarial valuation using the entry age normal
actuarial cost method. This is a projected benefit cost method, which takes into account those
benefits that are expected to be earned in the future as well as those already accrued. The actuarial
assumptions included (a) 4.00% investment rate of return and (b) 3.25% of general inflation
increase, and (c) a healthcare trend of declining annual increases ranging from 8.30% in 2015 to
5.00% for the years starting 2021. In addition, the fixed dollar benefit amounts are assumed to be
held flat in the future and the premium related benefits are assumed to increase with the healthcare
trend rate.
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as
understood by the City and the plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time
of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing benefit costs between the City and plan
members at that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that smooth
the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets.
Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term perspective and actuarial valuations involve estimates of
the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of events far into the future.
Actuarially determined amounts are subject to revision at least biennially as results are compared to
past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The City's OPEB unfunded
actuarial accrued liability is being amortized as a level percentage of projected payroll using a 21 -
year fixed (closed) period for June 30, 2014 in its June 30, 2013 actuarial valuation.

NOTE 11— POST -EMPLOYMENT HEALTH CARE BENEFITS (Continued) I
Prior to the end of the fiscal year, the City's actuary prepared a new valuation, as of June 30, 2015.
Although this valuation did not recalculate the ARC for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, it did
result in a significant change to the measurement of the City's unfunded actuarial liability (UAL).
The earlier valuation measured the UAL to be $21,044,000 as of June 30, 2013; the new valuation
calculated the UAL to be $32,727,000 as of June 30, 2015. The major driver of this change was a
revision to the actuarial methodology.
To comply with newly revised Actuarial Standard of Practice No. 6 (ASOP 6), the June 30, 2015
actuarial valuation includes an implicit subsidy liability. This liability was not calculated in prior
reports because of the former "community rating" exemption for employers participating in large
pooled health plans like Ca1PERS. When premiums for retirees are determined using a blend of
active employee and retiree experience, it creates an implicit subsidy to the retirees, since retiree
healthcare costs are generally higher than those of active employees. ASOP 6 effectively requires
most public agencies to calculate an implicit subsidy liability whenever their retirees participate in
the group medical plans, but pay the same premiums as active employees. ASOP 6 is effective for
all actuarial valuations with a measurement date on or after March 31, 2015.

equivalent arrangement. Contributions to and withdrawals from a 401(h) account held and
administered by the MCERA were made by the City in prior years and included in actuarial
valuations prior to June 30, 2013. On June 25, 2013, the assets were transferred from the 401(h)
account to an irrevocable trust under the California Employers' Retiree Benefit Trust Fund

municipalities. Each board controls the operations of the respective joint organization, including
selection of management and approval of operating budgets, independent of any influence by
member municipalities beyond their representation on that board. Obligations and liabilities of this
joint organization are not the City's responsibility and the City does not have an equity interest in

A. The Marin County Integrated On -Line Library System (System)
The MARINet Library Consortium was formed to provide for the procurement, ownership,
operation, maintenance, and governance of shared library services among the libraries, public and
academic, in Marin County. Current services shared and paid for on a consortial level through
annual membership dues include an integrated library system including patron database,
cataloging system, and online catalog of materials; delivery of items between libraries in Marin, a
statewide library delivery service called Link+, numerous online resources, and more. The
Governing Board of the System consists of the library director or designated alternate of each
participant in the System. In accordance with the cost sharing formula developed by the library

Funded Status and Funding Progress — As of June 30, 2015, the most recent actuarial valuation
date, the plan was 32% funded. The Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL) for benefits was $48,226
thousand and the Actuarial Value of Plan Asset was $15,449 thousand resulting in an Unfunded
Actuarial Accrued Liability (URAL) of $32,727 thousand. The covered payroll (annual payroll
of active employees covered by the plan) was $32,906 thousand and the ratio of UAAL to the
covered payroll was 99 percent.
The schedule of funding progress presented immediately following the financial statements as
required supplementary information, presents multi-year trend information about whether the
actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued
liability for benefits.
I NOTE 12 — JOINTLY GOVERNED ORGANIZATIONS I
The City participates in the jointly governed organizations discussed below through formally
organized and separate entities established under the Joint Exercise of Powers Act of the State of
California. As separate legal entities, these entities exercise full powers and authorities within the
scope of the related Joint Powers Agreements including the preparation of annual budgets,
accountability for all funds, the power to make and execute contracts and the right to sue and be
sued. Each joint organization is governed by a board consisting of representatives from member
municipalities. Each board controls the operations of the respective joint organization, including
selection of management and approval of operating budgets, independent of any influence by
member municipalities beyond their representation on that board. Obligations and liabilities of this
joint organization are not the City's responsibility and the City does not have an equity interest in
the assets of each joint organization except upon dissolution of the joint organization.

annual membership dues include an integrated library system including patron database,
cataloging system, and online catalog of materials; delivery of items between libraries in Marin, a
statewide library delivery service called Link+, numerous online resources, and more. The
Governing Board of the System consists of the library director or designated alternate of each
participant in the System. In accordance with the cost sharing formula developed by the library
directors of the participants, the City's share of annual operating costs is 16.37% or $188,167 for

The MGSA was formed by the County of Marin and twelve local agencies to acquire street light
facilities, operate the facilities during an eminent domain action against PG&E, and coordinate
the subsequent transfer of the facilities to the individual local agencies. Each of the local
agency's share of contributions was based on the number of street lights to be acquired in the
local agency's individual jurisdiction in relation to the total number of street lights to be acquired
by the MSLAJPA. MGSA services now include street light maintenance, abandoned vehicle
abatement, taxicab regulation and administrative responsibility for MarinMap. The City's

the County to plan, finance, implement, manage, own, and operate a County -wide public safety
and emergency radio system. The Governing Board consists of one representative from each
member. On February 1, 1999, the Authority issued the 1999 Revenue Bonds in the amount of
$26,940,000 with interest rates ranging from 4.75% to 5.01%, maturing on August 15, 2016, to
finance the acquisition and installation of the system. The costs of maintenance, operation, and
debt service are divided on a pro rata share based on an agreed-upon formula established by a
majority of the Governing Board. The members entered into a Project Operating Agreement on
February 1, 1999.
Under the Operating Agreement, members are obligated to contribute service payments to cover
the Authority's operation and debt service. The City's portion of the obligation is 16.913%. The
first operating service payment was in July 1999. The first debt service payment was in August
2002. The City contributed $302,729 of the Authority's operation and debt service for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2016. The City has established a reserve in its internal service funds to pay
future service payments. Financial statements of the MERA can be obtained at 95 Rowland Way,

I NOTE 13 - RISK MANAGEMENT I
The City is exposed to various exposures related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of
assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The City established the
Risk Management Internal Service Fund to account for and finance its uninsured risks of loss.
The City manages risk by participating in a public entity risk pool (described below), purchasing
insurance and by retaining certain risks.
A. Risk Coverage
Liability Coverage
The City is a member of the California Joint Powers Risk Management Authority (CJPRMA)
which covers general liability claims up to $40,000,000. The purpose of CJPRMA is to spread the
adverse effects of general liability losses among the member agencies. The City also purchases
commercial insurance for property damage claims with an insured amount of $99,471,049. The
City is self-insured up to $500,000 for each general liability claim and $25,000 for each property
damage claim. Once the self-insured retention is met CJPRMA becomes responsible for payment
of all liability claims up to the limit. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the City
contributed $249,299 for coverage during the current year and received a refund of $52,041 of
prior year excess contributions. Five years after settlement of all claims for a program year,
CJPRMA retroactively adjusts premium deposits for any excess or deficiency in deposits related
to paid claims and reserves. Financial statements for the risk pools may be obtained from
CJPRMA at 3201 Doolan Road, Suite 285, Livermore, California 94551.
Workers' Compensation Coverage
The City purchases insurance for workers' compensation through Safety National Casualty
Corporation Excess Workers' Compensation and Employers Liability Insurance with coverage up
to statutory limits. The City is self-insured up to $1,000,000 for each worker's compensation claim.
B. Insurance Internal Service Funds and Financial Reporting
The City records estimated liabilities for claims filed up to the amounts for which it retains risk in
the General Liability and Workers Compensation Internal Service Funds. Charges to the General
Fund and other funds are based on relative general liability and workers compensation risk
associated with the activities of each fund. Charges are recorded in the funds as expenditures or
expenses and as revenues in the respective internal service funds.

NOTE 13 - RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued) I
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) requires municipalities to record their
liability for uninsured claims and to reflect the current portion of this liability as an expenditure in
their financial statements. As discussed above, the City has coverage for such claims, but it has
retained the risk for the deductible or uninsured portion of these claims.
The City's liability for uninsured general liability claims and workers' compensation claims,
including claims incurred but not reported, are reported in the Statements of Net Position. The
liability is based on an actuarial valuation prepared as of June 30, 2016:

The City is subject to litigation arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of the City
Attorney there is no pending litigation which is likely to have a material adverse effect on the
financial position of the City as of June 30, 2016.
In August 2004, the City of San Rafael entered into a ten-year Settlement Agreement with the
federal Department of Justice (DOJ) to bring City managed programs, activities, services and
facilities into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). At the City's request,
the Settlement Agreement was revised in 2013, at which time the term was extended to February
2019.
Since the commencement of the Settlement Agreement in August 2004, the City has been
complying with the ADA requirements by submitting all support documentation to report the
City's progress in fulfilling the terms of the Agreement. The DOJ has expressed satisfaction with
the City's compliance and in June 2016 issued correspondence DJ# 204-11-272. The DOJ no
longer requires the City to report on its progress and considers the file closed. The City's
obligations to complete the remedial actions under the Agreement and to comply with Title II of
the ADA still remain.

A. Redevelopment Dissolution
In an effort to mitigate its budget deficit, the State of California adopted ABx1 26 on June 28,
2011, amended by AB 1484 on June 27, 2012, which suspended all new redevelopment activities
except for limited specified activities as of that date and dissolved redevelopment agencies on
January 31, 2012.
The suspension provisions prohibited all redevelopment agencies from a wide range of activities,
including incurring new indebtedness or obligations, entering into or modifying agreements or
contracts, acquiring or disposing of real property, taking actions to adopt or amend
redevelopment plans and other similar actions, except actions required by law or to carry out
existing enforceable obligations, as defined in ABx1 26.
In addition, ABx1 26 and AB1484 directed the State Controller to review the activities of all
redevelopment agencies and successor agencies to determine whether an asset transfer between
an agency and any public agency occurred on or after January 1, 2011. If an asset transfer did
occur and the public agency that received the asset is not contractually committed to a third party
for the expenditure or encumbrance of the asset, the legislation requires the State Controller to
order the asset returned to the redevelopment agency. This review was performed in May 2013,
and a report issued on July 29, 2013 (see section B of this footnote).
The City elected to become the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency, and on
February 1, 2012, the Redevelopment Agency's remaining net assets were distributed to the
Successor Agency. ABx1 26 requires the establishment of an Oversight Board to oversee the
activities of the Successor Agency and one was established on April 2, 2012. The activities of the
Successor Agency are subject to review and approval of the Oversight Board, which is comprised
of seven members.
The activities of the Successor Agency are reported in the Successor Agency to the
Redevelopment Agency Private -Purpose Trust Fund as the activities are under the control of the
Oversight Board. The City provides administrative services to the Successor Agency to wind
down the affairs of the former Redevelopment Agency.
Pursuant to the dissolution of the City of San Rafael Redevelopment Agency, certain assets of the
Redevelopment Agency were distributed to the Housing Successor and all remaining
Redevelopment Agency assets and liabilities were distributed to the Successor Agency.
The City elected to become the Housing Successor and on February 1, 2012. Assets and
Liabilities relating to the Housing Successor are reported in the City's Low and Moderate Income
Housing Special Revenue Fund.

TRUST FUND (SUCCESSOR AGENCY) ACTIVITIES (Continued)
B. Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF)
The Successor Agency's primary source of revenue comes from the RPTTF allocation distributed
by the County. Property tax revenues for each Project Area are deposited into the RPTTF, which
redistributes each Project Area's tax increment under specified formulas. The County Auditor
administers the RPTTF and disburses twice annually from this fun pass-through payments to
affected taxing entities, an amount equal to the total of obligation payments that are required to be
paid from tax increment as denoted on the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule ("ROPS").
The disbursements are established in the treasury of the Successor Agencies, and various allowed
administrative fees and allowances. Any remaining balance is then distributed by the County
Auditor back to affected taxing entities under a prescribed method that accounts for pass-through
payments. The County Auditor is also responsible for the distributing other monies received from
the Successor Agency (from sale of assets, etc.) to the affected taxing entities. Successor agencies
in turn will use the amounts deposited into their respective funds for making payments on the
principal and interest on loans, and monies advanced to or indebtedness incurred by the dissolved
redevelopment agencies.
C. Long -Term Debt
1999 Tax Allocation Bonds and Capital Appreciation Bonds
On June 16, 1999, the former Agency issued Tax Allocation Bonds in the amount of $23,504,004.
The bonds were issued as Current Interest Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of
$21,115,000 and as Capital Appreciation Bonds in the original amount of $2,389,004. The
proceeds of the bonds were used to finance certain redevelopment activities of benefit to the
former Agency's Central San Rafael Redevelopment Project Area.
In December, 2009 of the former Agency exercised the redemption option of the Current Interest
Bonds. The outstanding balance of the Bonds was refunded, on a current basis, through the
issuance of the 2009 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds as discussed below.
The Capital Appreciation Bonds mature annually after December 1 from 2018 to 2022, in
amounts ranging from $1,440,000 to $2,070,000 and bear interest at rates from 5.58% to 5.60%.
Interest on the Capital Appreciation Bonds will compound on each interest premium date and will
be payable solely at maturity. The bonds are secured, on parity with the 1992 and 1995 bonds
(refunded in 2002), by a pledge and a lien on tax revenues and amounts on deposit in certain
funds and accounts held by the fiscal agent.

whole or in part, and by lot within any one maturity, prior to their respective maturity dates, on
any date on or after December 1, 2012, at a price equal to the principal amount, plus accrued
interest on the redemption date. The bonds are payable from tax revenues to be derived from the
redevelopment activities of the former Agency related to the Central San Rafael Redevelopment
Project Area.
2009 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds
On December 14, 2009, the former Agency issued 2009 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds in the
amount of $14,660,000 bearing interest at rates from 3.00% to 5.00%. The proceeds of the Series
2009 Bonds were used to refund the former Agency's 1999 Tax Allocation Current Interest
Bonds, to advance funds to the City to finance street and parking improvements for the benefit of
the Agency's Central San Rafael Redevelopment Project. Principal payments are due annually on
December 30 and interest payable semiannually on June 30 and December 30.
The Series 2009 Bonds maturing on or before December 1, 2019, are not subject to optional
redemption prior to their respective stated maturities. The Series 2009 Bonds maturing on or
after December 1, 2020, are subject to optional redemption as a whole or in part either on a pro
rata basis among maturities or in inverse order of maturity, and by lot within any one maturity,
prior to their respective maturity dates, at the option of the Agency, on any date on or after
December 1, 2019, at a price equal to the principal amount of such Series 2009 Bonds called for
redemption, together with interest accrued on the date fixed for redemption, without premium.
The former Agency pledged all future tax increment revenues for the repayment of the 1999
Capital Appreciation Bonds, and the 2002 and 2009 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds. The
pledge of all future tax increment revenues ends upon repayment of $25.1 million in remaining
debt service on the Bonds, which is scheduled to occur in 2023. For fiscal year June 30, 2016,
tax increment revenues amounted to $4.1 million which was used to make the debt service
payments of $3.6 million.

Unsecured Property —0—Secwed Property
(a) The State Constitution requires property to be assessed at one hundred percent of the most recent purchase price, plus an increment of no more than two percent annually,
plus any local over -rides. These values are considered to be full market values.
(b) California cities do not set their own direct tax rate. The state constitution establishes the rate at I% and allocates a portion of that amount, by an annual calculation, to all the
taxing entities within a tax rate area.

(a) The State Constitution requires property to be assessed at one hundred percent of the most recent purchase price, plus an increment of no more than two percent annually,
plus any local over -rides. These values are considered to be full market values.
(b) California cities do not set their own direct tax rate. The state constitution establishes the rate at I% and allocates a portion of that amount, by an annual calculation, to all the
taxing entities within a tax rate area.
