SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Department: FINANCE
Prepared by: Cindy Mosser City Manager Approval:
Finance Director
SUBJECT: FY 2008-2009 ANNUAL FINANCIAL AUDIT REPORT; THE GANN
APPROPRIATION LIMIT REPORT, AND THE MEMORANDUM ON
INTERNAL CONTROL STRUCTURE.
RECOMMENDATION: ACCEPT THE FY 2008-2009 ANNUAL FINANCIAL AUDIT
REPORT; ACCEPT THE GANN APPROPRIATION LIMIT
REPORT; AND ACCEPT THE MEMORANDUM ON
INTERNAL CONTROL STRUCTURE.
IC : . lfZ�li1`►11�
As is required by both local code and State law, the City of San Rafael must complete an annual
audit of its financial activities. The auditing firm of Maze and Associates, Accountancy
Corporation conducted the audit for fiscal year 2008-2009. 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
Organizations.
The Federal Government requires that any local agency receiving or 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
amount did occur in fiscal year 2008-2009; therefore, a separate audit report is required. This
report will be presented at a later date.
The requirements of Section 1.5 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution is met with an
agreed upon procedure report applied to the Gann Appropriation Limit calculated for the year
ending June 30, 2010. A management letter/report is also prepared by the auditors to help
identify areas that could help improve the City's organization and controls over financial
activities. This letter/report is enclosed separately with this staff report.
FOR CITY CLERK ONLY
File No.:
Council Meeting:
Disposition:
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
The City Council's approval and acceptance of fiscal year 2008-2009 audited financial report,
and memorandum of internal control structure are needed to remain in compliance with local
charter, State and Federal law.
ANALYSIS:
The actual results of the City's financial activities are presented in the Government -Wide
Financial Statements with governmental activities and business -type activities presented
separately. Net assets are a good indicator of the City's financial position. During this fiscal
year, net assets of the City were $216.9 million, which is a decrease of $3.5 million from the
prior year. A financial summary of expenditures and revenues is shown in the Statement of
Activities and Changes in Net Assets.
Supplementary explanatory information is provided with a Management's Discussion and
Analysis (MD&A) beginning on page 3. The MD&A provides key highlights and a summary
view of performance of financial activities for the year ended June 30, 2009.
The Agreed -Upon Procedures report for the Gann Appropriations Limit required three steps to be
performed including testing the accuracy of the calculations and comparison of information
presented. No exceptions were noted in all three steps for the years ended June 30, 2010.
In the area of accounting practices and internal controls, there are no areas of significant
deficiencies noted for fiscal year 2008-2009. The Memorandum on Internal Control Structure
addressed three other recommendations for the City. The first recommendation addresses the
City's budget and financial condition. The other two recommendations are informational in
nature. From the 2007 fiscal year's management letter/report, all of the prior recommendations
are in various stages of progress or have been implemented. A report on the internal controls
from the parking citation contractor was received which complies with requirements of Statement
on Auditing Standards #70 — Service Organizations. The recommendation for the physical
security of the Information System's server room is completed with a smoke detector. Any other
change to the facility is cost prohibitive. A new professional standard requires our auditors to
communicate to the City Council matters that come to their attention relating to the audit. This
section is the last three pages of the Memorandum on Internal Control Structure.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact occurs by having the Council accepts these reports. The fiscal year 2008-2009
Annual Financial Audit Reports and related letters/reports are presented as the actual results of
the City and Agency financial activities for the year.
OPTIONS:
The City Council can choose to either:
1) Accept the Fiscal Year 2008-2009 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, Agreed -
Upon Procedures report for the Gann Appropriations Limits, and the Memorandum on
Internal Control Structure as presented, or
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 3
2) Reject the reports. The Council is required under current law to accept the reports and file
it with numerous County, State and Federal agencies. Rejecting these reports would
leave the City out of compliance with applicable laws.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Staff recommends Council accept the reports and letters 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 for the year ended June 30,
2009, is hereby submitted as mandated by both local ordinances and State of California statutes. These
ordinances and statutes require that the City of San Rafael annually issue a report on its financial position
and activity, and that an independent firm of certified public accountants audits this report.
Responsibility for both the data accuracy, and the completeness and fainiess of the presentation, rests with
management. 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 of San Rafael. The financial statements are prepared in
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as promulgated by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and include the report of the independent certified public accounting
firm, Maze and Associates Accountancy Corporation.
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 are in the
Management's Discussion and Analysis document in the financial section. 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 of San Rafael's elected and appointed officials.
2. Financial section includes the general-purpose financial statements, related footnote disclosures, and
the combining and individual find 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 provides a full range of municipal services required by statute or charter, namely:
Fire, Police, Community Development (encompassing Building, Planning and Code Enforcement), Public
Works, Community Services (both Recreation and Child Care programs), Redevelopment, Library and
Management Services. The City Council is financially accountable for the San Rafael Redevelopment
Agency and the San Rafael Joint Powers Financing Authority. These entities are considered blended
component units and are combined with the City's figures in this report. 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 Footnote No. I in the Financial
Section of the CAFR.
CAFR TRANSMITTAL LETTER
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 aminal 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 Footnote No. 12 in the CAFR.
The Mission San Rafael Archangel was founded in 1817. San Rafael was incorporated in 1874 and
became a charter city in 1913 by vote within the City. The City Council is composed of five members; four
are elected at large to four-year terms. The mayor is elected separately to a four-year term. The City
currently has a land area of 22 square miles that includes 17 square miles of land and five of water and
tidelands. San Rafael's population in 2009 was 58,363.
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 and cultural and civic hub
of Marin County. Abundant recreational facilities are available in and around the San Rafael area. In
addition to the City's cultural, park and recreational resources, there are other attractions that include Muir
Woods, five State parks, the San Francisco area, Oakland and the nearby wine country.
Each year business merchants and the SRDA sponsor community events, including the Classic Car Parade,
Farriers' Market, Winter Wonderland, Italian Street Painting Festival and the Parade of Lights. San Rafael
is home to Marin County's cultural activities. Marin Center presents numerous ballets, concerts and
speaking engagements. The Falkirk Cultural Center provides art exhibits and children's programming.
ECONOMIC CONDITION
San Rafael is a regional employment center. The number of jobs within the City exceeds the number of
employed residents. Our diversified economic mix includes high-tech, financial, service based,
entertainment and industrial businesses. Even with this diversity, the City finds itself struggling with a
multi-million dollar deficit, resulting from a down economy rooted in high unemployment, vacant
commercial properties, and a stagnant real estate market.
Financial performance and the short term outlook is not getting any brighter in the current (2009-2010)
fiscal year. Sales taxes have been down for four straight quarters. Property taxes remains relatively flat.
The future continues to look troubling as staff and the City Council peer into the future. The State of
California budget deficit was targeted at $21 billion as of December 2009.
The current severe recession continues to have an extreme negative impact on the City's budget. In the
past two years, the City Council has taken actions to reduce the General Fund budget by over $5 million.
Actions implemented produced a multitude of cost savings and revenue enhancements primarily outlined in
a Recession Action Plan and Economic Vitality Plan. Work furloughs, and early retirement program,
hiring freeze, position eliminations including layoffs, and deferrals of contractual salary increases are some
of the actions taken to reduce the deficit.
CAFR TRANSMITTAL LETTER
The 2009-2011 budget cycle looks to be another financial challenge. With a continued flat economy (and
no real recovery expected until at least late 2011) and the State fiscal fiasco, the community and City
Council will be spending countless hours over the next few months reviewing options and looking at ways
of maintaining core services. Employee and community involvement will play a key role in determining
how the City's financial future is shaped.
Demographic Data
A sampling of demographic information is provided to give the user an understanding of the character and
diversity that make San Rafael an exceptional place to live and work.
IE Economic development organizations in San Rafael include the Redevelopment Agency, Business
Improvement District, Chamber of Commerce and the Marin County Economic Commission.
IE San Rafael's population rate grew at about 0.5% per annum from 2000 (56,063) to 2009 (58,363).
El Unemployment rates for 2009 were 9.6% (2008 was 5.9%) for the City and 8.1% countywide.
Q Countywide office vacancy rates rose dramatically to 24.5% for 2009, a dramatic increase from the
16.0% levels for 2008.
171 Median office rents in Central San Rafael were $2.75 per square foot; in North San Rafael the rate
averaged $2.45.
O Median industrial space rents averaged $0.95 per square foot for San Rafael.
I^l Major shopping areas, as measured in available retail square footage, include the Downtown corridor
(938,000 aggregate), the Mall at Northgate (725,000), Montecito Center (130,000) and Northgate One
(113,900).
O "Total Marin County land acreage of 388,352 breaks down as 55,424 in waterways, 128,519 for public
use, 23,241 subject to exemption, 97,615 contract restricted (open space and agriculture), and 83,913 as
developed. The latter category denotes only 22% of all acreage is used for development.
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 803.
O Home buying and apartment rentals continue to be a challenge both in San Rafael and Marin County.
Mean household incomes in San Rafael are $78,680 as of 2008, but less than 30% can afford to buy a
median priced home. Rents for one bedroom apartments range from $80041,900, while two bedroom
apartments go for $1,075 to $2,000.
MAJOR INITIATIVES
Current Year Proicets. Accomplishments and Service Efforts
The City Council adopted a one-year budget in July of 2009 for the 2009-2010 fiscal year.
These objectives support Department goals, the City Council's five-year goals, and our Mission Statement.
Progress reports are provided to the City Council and community at six-month intervals during the two-
year budget.
San Rafael's fiscal practices are codified in the City's Financial Management Policies. The Policies were
adopted to manage current and long-term financial resources, allow for adequate controls, and most
importantly, to encourage input and participation in the City's financial affairs.
CAFR TRANSMITTAL LETTER
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The City's Management Team 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
should 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. We believe the City's internal
accounting controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance that financial
transactions are properly recorded.
Budget Controls - The City develops a budget based upon 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 fiord. 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 their budget allocations
consistent with policies set by the City Council and monitored by the City Manager,
OTHER INFORMATION
Independent Audit - the Charter of the City of San Rafael requires an annual audit of the City's financial
records and transactions by an independent certified public accounting firm. This year, the accounting firm
of Maze and Associates Accountancy Corporation performed the audit. The audit requirement has been
met and the auditors' opinion has been included in this report.
Acknowled rg Hent - The preparation of this document was accomplished through the diligent, dedicated
efforts of the Finance Department's staff. Appreciation goes to Van Bach, Accounting Supervisor, Helen
Yu, Accountant, and Carl Tregner, Accountant. All of these top-notch employees were instrumental in
coordinating the amoral audit in a timely and professional manner. Also, Sylvia Gonzalez, the City
Manager's Administrative Assistant, helped assemble the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
Lastly, staff support by the Mayor and City Council Members, with an emphasis on community focus and
customer service, has allowed the Finance Department to bring professional level financial leadership and
management home to San Rafael. Staff expects to continue producing high quality products, including
award winning annual financial reports. The City Council's openness to change and support in planning
and conducting the operations of the City in a responsible, progressive manner empowers staff to achieve
important goals through a commitment to excellence, professionalism and community interest.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT maze@mazeassociates.com
ON BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS www.mazeassociates.com
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of San Rafael, California
We have audited the 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 as of and for the year
ended June 30, 2009, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in the
Table of Contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the City's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit
the component unit financial statements of the San Rafael Sanitation District (District), which represents
13% and 11% of the assets and revenues and 4% and 9% of liabilities and expenses of the reporting entity,
respectively. These component unit financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose report
thereon has been furnished to us. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for this entity, is
based solely on the report of these other auditors.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States of
America and the standards for 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 as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
fmancial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion the basic financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each major fund, and the
aggregate remaining fund information of the City of San Rafael as of June 30, 2009 and the respective
changes in the financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof for the year then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated October 30,
2009 on our consideration of the City of San Rafael'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 the
internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the
results of our audit.
As described in Note 11, the City implemented the provision of GASB Statement No. 45, Accounting and
Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions.
A Professional Corporation
Management's Discussion and Analysis and Budget and Actual schedules for the General Fund, Traffic
and Housing Mitigation Special Revenue Fund and Gas Tax Special Revenue Fund are not a required
part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Government
Accounting Standards Board. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of
inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required
supplementary information. However, we did not audit this information and express no opinion on it.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the basic financial statements. The supplemental information listed in the Table of Contents is
presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic statements of the City
of San Rafael. This information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.
The introductory section listed in the Table of Contents have not been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion
on them.

Government -Wide Highlights:
Net Assets - The assets of the City exceeded its liabilities at fiscal year ending June 30, 2009 by $216.9
million. Of this amount $1.2 million was reported as "unrestricted net assets' and may be used to meet
the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
Expense Activities - During the fiscal year the City's total revenues ($93.1 million), which is less than
expenses for governmental and business -type activities ($96.6 million) by $3.5 million. Excluding
Depreciation (non-cash expense of $7.7 million), collected revenues were $4.2 million above expenses.
Changes in Net Assets - The City/s total net assets decreased by $3.50 million in fiscal year 2009. Net assets
of governmental activities decreased by $4.08 million, while net assets of the business type activities
increased by $.58 million.
Fund Highlights:
Governmental Funds - Fund Balances- As of the close of fiscal year 2009, the City's governmental
funds reported combined ending fund balances of $31.5 million, a decrease of $3.1 million from the
prior year. Of this total amount, $18.9 million represents reserved fund balances and $1.7million is
designated.
General Fund - The fund balance of the general fund on June 30, 2009 was $3.9 million, a decrease of
$2.3 million from the prior year. $2.2 million was held in reserve, and $1.7 million is designated to
meet our 10% reserve requirement as defined by the City's Financial Management Policies.
Long -Term Debt:
The City's total outstanding debt decreased by $2.6 million (6.0 percent) during the fiscal year,
which reflects payment on redevelopment debt, court fine repayment note, and capitalized lease
obligations.
OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial statements,
which are comprised of 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. The City's component units consist of
the following: The Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Rafael (Agency) and the San Rafael Joint Powers
Financing Authority (Authority). These component units are, for practical purposes, departments of the City
and have been included in the basic financial statements as an integral part of the primary government using the
blended method.
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 Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
Statement No. 34.
The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets report information about the
City as a whole and about its activities. 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 yeai`s revenues and expenses are taken into account, regardless of when cash is received or paid.
The Statement of Net Assets presents information on all of the City s assets and liabilities, with the difference
between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases in net assets 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 Assets presents information showing how the City s net assets
changed during the year. All changes in net assets 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 Assets and the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets, we separate the City
activities 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 and Economic Development, Cultural and Recreation and
Government Administration (finance, human resources, legal, City Clerk and City Manager operations).
Property, sales and use taxes, user fees, interest income, franchise fees, hotel taxes, business license and property
transfer taxes, plus state and federal grants finance these activities.
Business-Type Activities —The City charges a fee to customers to cover all or most of the costs of certain services it
provides. The City's Parking Services program is reported as a business-type activity.
Discretely Presented Component Units - The government-wide financial statements include not only the City itself
(known as the primary government), but also a legally separate entity, the San Rafael Sanitation District 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 itself.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 17 through 19 of this report.
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 can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and
fiduciary funds.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2009
The fund financial statements provide detail information about each of the City's most significant funds, called
Major Funds. The concept of Major Funds, and the determination of which are major funds, was established by
GASB Statement 34 and replaces the concept of combining like funds and presenting them in total. histead, 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 78 through 99 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 reconciliation's are presented on the page immediately following
each governmental fund financial statement.
The City has thirty-one governmental funds, of which four 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 fmld balances. The City's four
major funds are - the General Fund, Redevelopment Agency Capital Projects, Gas Tax, and Traffic and
Housing Mitigation. Data from the other twenty-seven governmental funds are combined into a single,
aggregated presentation. The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 22
through 25 of this report. Individual fund data for each of these non -major governmental funds is
provided in the form of combining statements on pages 78 through 99 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. 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 fleet of vehicles, building maintenance, radio
systems, telephone systems, personal computer replacement program, self-insurance for worker's compensation,
dental, public liability, and employee benefits programs. Because these services predominantly benefit
governmental rather than business -type functions, they have been included within governmental activities in the
governmental -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 28 through 30 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 31
through 63 of this report.
Required Supplementary Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required
supplementary information. It contains budgetary comparison statements for the major funds (general,
redevelopment agency capital project, gas tax, and traffic and housing mitigation). Required supplementary
information can be found on pages 68 through 71 of this report.

At June 30, 2009, the largest portion of net assets (87.6 percent) consists of the City's investment in capital assets
net of related debt. This component portrays the total amount of funds required to acquire those assets less any
related debt used for such acquisition that is still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide
services to citizens. The increase in total net assets from 2007-2008 to 2008-2009 is largely attributable to a netting
of capital assets acquisition against depreciation expense for the year. Total depreciation for this current year
was $7.7 million, while capital asset acquisition totaled $8.5 million, leaving a net increase of $0.8 million.
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. A portion of the City's net assets (11.9 percent) is subject to restrictions
imposed by external parties and their use is determined by those restrictions and agreements. The remainder of
net assets, $1.2 million, may be used to meet the City s ongoing operations.
For the year ended June 30, 2009, the City reported positive balances of net assets in capital and restricted net
assets for governmental activities. Business -type activities reported positive net assets in capital and unrestricted
net assets.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF INDIVIDUAL FUNDS
Governmental Funds
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, unreserved 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 the end of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances
of $31.5 million. Approximately, $12.6 million of this amount constitutes unreserved and undesignated fund
balance, which is available for spending at the government's discretion. The remainder of fund balance is
reserved to indicate that it is not available for spending because it has already been legally committed.
General Fund - The General Fund is the primanj operating fund of the city.
At the end of the current fiscal year, unreserved fund balance of the general fund was $1.7 million, while total
fund balance reached $3.9 million. $1.7 million is held as part of the 10 percent designated unreserved for
emergencies and cash flow cycles as defined in San Rafael's Financial Management Policies. As a measure of the
general fund's liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unreserved fund balance and total fund balance to
total fund expenditures. Unreserved fund balance represents 3 percent of total general fund expenditures
including transfers out, while total fund balance represents 7 percent of that same amount.
The available fund balance in the City's General Fund decreased by $2.3 million compared to the 2008 fiscal year.
This decrease resulted from:
10
Sales tax decreased by $3.8 million or approximately 14.7 percent compared to fiscal year 2008.
• Expenditures increased with personnel costs mainly benefit costs leading the way.
Redevelopment Agency Capital Project Fund - The Redevelopment Agency is responsible for assisting in the
clearance and rehabilitation of areas determined to be in a declining condition in the City. The Agency s
operations are funded primarily by the issuance of debt, which is expected to be repaid out of property tax
increment revenue generated by increased in property assessed values in the redevelopment areas.
The Redevelopment Agency Capital Project Fund was established to account for capital improvement projects
related to the various redevelopment areas. At the end of fiscal year 2009, the reserved fund balance was $6.1
million, a decrease of $0.9 million from the prior year. Expenditures exceeded revenues by $0.94 million. The
decrease is primarily related to decreased expenditures for capital improvement projects. A total of $5.8 million
in fund balance as of June 30, 2009 was reserved for future capital project and housing programs.
Proprietary Funds
The City's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government -wide financial
statements, but in more detail. As discussed in the business -type activities previously, the City's net assets
increased by $0.6 million as a result of operations in the Parking Services fund.
GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
The final amended budget totaled $57.0 million, including an increase of $155,762 in appropriations to the
originally adopted budget.
During the year, however, revenues exceeded budgetary estimates and expenditures did not exceed the final
budgetary estimate. Overall, expenditures exceeded revenues by $2.1 million. The transfers out exceeded the
transfers in by $0.2 million.

CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital Assets
The City's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business -type activities as of June 30, 2009
amounts to $232.6 million, net of accumulated depreciation of $113.4 million. This investment in capital assets
includes land, buildings, improvements, machinery and equipment, infrastructure and construction in progress.
Infrastructure assets are items that are normally immovable and of value only to the City such as roads, bridges,
streets and sidewalks, drainage systems, lighting systems and similar items. The total additions to the City's
investment in capital assets for the current fiscal year was $8.5 million, offset by accumulated depreciation and
retirements of $8.0 million, thereby equaling a net increase of $0.5 million.
Major capital asset additions during the current fiscal included work in process Medway Canal Intersection
Improvements, Third/Union Intersection Improvement, and Francisco Blvd. East Improvement. The City also
purchased eleven vehicles, which included one Paint truck and one Street Sweeper.
Capital Projects
4tb Street Rehabilitation -West End project was completed in 2009.
Additional information on the City's capital assets can be found in Note 5 on pages 45 through 47 of this report.
Debt Administration
As of June 30, 2009, the City had outstanding debt issues as listed below. Not included in the following table is
the Community Facilities District No.1 Special Tax Bond, which is backed by property tax levies against property
owners. The City has no obligation for these bonds. Certain specific revenues back each of the City's other
bonds or General Fund lease payments and carry respectable ratings. The City's long-term obligations for the
fiscal years 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

ECONOMIC CLIMATE AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET
Many factors were considered in preparing the City's budget for fiscal year 2009-2010. In July, the budget was
balanced with strategic remedies such as:
o Deferring the replacement of all non -emergency fleet replacement, and moving the life cycle of each of
our vehicles out one year. This results in the General Fund saving of $754,000.
o Non -Safety Employee Furloughs of 5 percent of approximately $500,000 reduction in the General Fund.
o Implementing a Voluntary Retirement Separation Program for approximately $900,000 reduction in the
General Fund.
o Reduction of force through a Layoff program for an approximate savings of $550,000 in the General
Fund.
o Elimination of a series of vacant positions permanently from the budget, totaling $1.3 million for next
year.
o Reset our projected (and required) Liability and Workers Compensation reserves, providing a one time
General Fund relief of $500,000.
The magnitude and depth of the current recession could not be projected for the rest of the fiscal year. This
downturn in the economy impacts many City revenues. Our sales tax, the City's biggest tax revenue generator,
faces a decline of eighteen percent with no relief in sight. The credit crisis instigated a slow down in the sale of
property causing a reduction in the City's property transfer tax.
The City's second largest tax generator is property tax. Although property sales are not as strong as in previous
years, the assessed values of the properties rose slightly.
The City's largest expenditure by far relates to personnel costs. Salaries and benefits are tied to the labor
agreements with each bargaining group. Except for known increases in contractual obligations, the fiscal year
2008-2009 baseline operating cost levels were maintained for fiscal year 2009-2010. Unfortunately, the City's
revenues are not keeping up with the City's expenditures. Difficult decisions will be made in the coming
months in order to achieve and maintain a balanced budget.

The Statement of Net Assets summarizes the financial position of all the City's Governmental Activities in a
single column, and the financial position of all the City's Business -Type Activities in a single column; these
columns are followed by a total column which presents the financial position of the entire City.
The City's Governmental Activities include the activities of its General Fund, along with all its Special
Revenue, Capital Projects and Debt Service Funds. Since the City's Internal Service Funds service these
Funds, their activities are consolidated with Governmental Activities, after eliminating inter -fund
transactions and balances. The City's Business Type Activities include all its Enterprise Fund activities.
The Statement of Activities reports increases and decreases in the City's net assets. It is also prepared on the
full accrual basis, which means it includes all the City's revenues and all its expenses, regardless of when
cash changes hands. This differs from the "modified accrual" basis used in the Fund financial statements,
which reflect only current assets, current liabilities, available revenues and measurable expenditures.
The Statement of Activities presents the City's expenses first, listed by program, and follows these with the
expenses of its business -type activities. Program revenues—that is, revenues which are generated directly
by these programs—are then deducted from program expenses to arrive at the net expense of each
governmental and business -type program. The City's general revenues are then listed in the Governmental
Activities or Business -type Activities column, as appropriate, and the Change in Net Assets is computed and
reconciled with the Statement of Net Assets.
Both these Statements include the financial activities of the City, the City of San Rafael Redevelopment
Agency, and the San Rafael Joint Powers Financing Authority which are legally separate but are
component units of the City because they are controlled by the City, which is financially accountable for
their activities. The balances and the activities of the discretely presented component units of the San
Rafael Sanitation District are included in these statements as separate columns_

BALANCE SHEET - RECONCILIATION OF GOVERNMENTAL
FUND BALANCES TO NET ASSETS OF GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES
NNE 30, 2009
Total fund balances reported on the governmental funds balance sheet
Amounts reported for Governmental Activities in the Statement of Net Assets 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
communication, telephone, building, fleet maintenance, equipment replacement, 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
Assets.
Interest payable on long-term debt does not require the use of current financial
resources and, therefore, are not reported in the Governmental Funds.
Revenues that are deferred because they are not available currently are taken
into revenue in the Statement of Activities.
Long-term liabilities, including bonds payable, are not due and payable in the current
period and, therefore, are not reported in the Governmental Funds.

Reconciliation of the
NET CHANGE IN FUND BALANCES - TOTAL GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
with the
STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2009
NET CHANGE IN FUND BALANCES - TOTAL GOVERNIvd.NTAL FUNDS
Amounts reported for Govermnenlal Activities in the Statement of Activities are
different because of die following:
Capital Assets Transactions
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the Statement of
Activities the cost of those assets is capitalized and allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense.
Expenditures for capital assets are added back to fund balance
Loss on retirement of capital assets and capital assets transferred to Enterprise Fund are deducted from the fund balance
Current year depreciation is deducted from fund balance
Long -Terni Debt Proceeds and Payments
Repayment of debt principal is an expenditure in the govermnental funds, but the repayment
reduces long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Assets.
Bond interest accretion is deducted from fund balance
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):
Interest payable
Compensated absences
Deferred revenue
Net OPEB liability
Allocation of Internal Service Fund Activity
Internal service funds are used by management to charge die costs of certain activities to
individual funds. The net revenue of the internal service fund is reported with governmental activities.

MAJOR PROPRIETARY FUNDS
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.
The City reported its only enterprise fund as a major proprietary fund.
PARKING SERVICES FUND
Established to maintain parking garages, lots and spaces in the Downtown Parking District (established
over 40 years ago), and to pay for parking enforcement, meter collection, and downtown office services.

NOTE I - 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 following blended
component units are described below.
San Rafael Redevelopment Agency — The San Rafael Redevelopment Agency (Agency) was
established under the provisions of the Community Redevelopment Law (California Health and
Safety Code, commencing with Section 33000) primarily to assist in the clearance and
rehabilitation of areas determined to be in a declining condition in the City. Financial activity of
the Agency commenced in July 1983. Under the Agency's Redevelopment Plan (Plan), approved in
November 1982, the Agency is to assist in the development of the property located in the central
San Rafael business core and east San Rafael, The Agency receives incremental tax revenues on
the developed property due to increases in assessed value. The Agency functions as an independent
entity. The City Council serves as the governing board of the Agency.
The Agency's assets, liabilities, revenues and expenditures (other than those applicable to its capital
assets and long-term debt) are reported in the Fund Financial Statements. The Agency's capital
assets and long-term debt are reported with the Governmental Activities in the Government -Wide
Financial Statements.
San Rafael Joint Powers Financing Authority — The San Rafael Joint Powers Financing
Authority (Authority) was created by the City of San Rafael pursuant to Articles 1 and 2 of Chapter
5 of Division 7 of Title I of the Government Code of the State of California for the purpose of
assisting in the financing and refinancing of certain assessment district activities in the City.
All of the Authority's assets, liabilities, revenues and expenditures are reported in the Fund
Financial Statements. The Agency's capital assets and long-term debt are reported with the
Governmental Activities in the Government -Wide Financial Statements.

NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
C. 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 souther two-thirds of the City and adjacent unincorporated areas. The City contracts with
the District to maintain the collection systems in the City and 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 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 end in June 30 and its separately
issued component unit financial statements can be obtained at Central Marin Sanitation Agency,
Finance Department, 1301 Andersen Drive, San Rafael, California 94901.
D. Basis of Presentation
Government -wide Statements - The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities
display information about the primary government (the City) and its component units. These
statements include the financial activities of the overall City government, except for fiduciary
activities. 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 and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular 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 and proprietary — are presented. The emphasis of fund financial
statements is on major individual governmental and enterprise funds, each of which is displayed
in a separate column. All remaining governmental and enterprise funds are aggregated and
reported as nonmajor funds.

CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended June 30, 2009
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
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
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.
The City reported the following major governmental funds in the accompanying financial
statements:
General Fund — Accounts for all financial resources and transactions except those required to be
accounted for in other funds.
Traffic and Housing Mitigation Fund — Established to maintain long-term developer deposits
for major housing and street improvement projects.
Gas Tax Fund - Established to receive and expend the City's allocation of the State gasoline
taxes.
Redevelopment Agency Capital Projects Fund — Consist of five funds; 1) the 1999 Agency
Bonds Funds, 2) the 2002 Agency Bonds Funds, 3) the RDA Capital Improvement Fund (for
improvement projects), 4) project Administration Fund, and 5) the Housing Fund.
The City reported its only enterprise fund as a major fund in the accompanying financial
statements. The enterprise funds is:
Parking Services Fund — Established to maintain parking garages, lots and spaces in the
Downtown Parking District (established over 40 years ago), and to pay for parking enforcement,
meter collection, and downtown officer services.
The City also reports the following fund types:
Internal Service Funds - These funds account for: building maintenance, employee benefits,
liability insurance, workers' compensation, dental insurance, all of which are provided to other
departments on a cost -reimbursement basis.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE I - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
F. Basis of Accounting
The government -wide, proprietary 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.
Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and
the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when
measurable and available. The City considers all revenues reported in the governmental funds to
be available if the revenues are collected within sixty days after year-end. Expenditures are
recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on long -terns
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. Sales taxes collected and
held by the state at year end on behalf of the City are also recognized as revenue. Other receipts
and taxes are recognized as revenue when the cash is received.
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 assets 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.
The City follows statements and interpretations of the Financial Accounting Standards Board and
its predecessors that were issued on or before November 30, 1989, in accounting for its business -
type activities, unless they conflict with Government Accounting Standards Board
Pronouncements,

G. Budgets, Budgetary Accounting, And Encumbrances
The City adopts a budget on a biannual basis, to be effective July I for the ensuing and subsequent
fiscal years. The two year budget reflects estimated revenues and expenditures for each fiscal year.
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. Expenditures may not exceed
appropriations at the departmental 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 total budget. Several supplemental appropriations were
approved during the course of the year.
The City legally adopts budgets for all its governmental fluids, except for the Cast Francisco
Boulevard Assessment District, 1915 Act Bonds and 1997 Reassessment Bonds debt service funds,
because the City is only required to make debt service payments in the event of bondholder default.
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for
expenditures are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is
employed as an extension of the budgetary process. Encumbrances outstanding at year end are
reported as a reservation of fund balances since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities and
are carried forward in the subsequent year's budget. All unencumbered appropriations lapse at year
end.
The following departments in General Fund and Major Special Revenue Funds incurred
expenditures in excess of their budget. Sufficient resources were available within each
department to finance these overages.

H. 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.
L 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.
GASB Statement No 34 requires the inclusion of infrastructure capital assets in local governments'
basic financial statements. In accordance with GASB Statement No. 34, the City has included the
value of all infrastructure capital assets into its Basic Financial Statements using the Basic
Approach for infrastructure reporting.
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.
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 City has assigned the useful lives listed below to capital assets:
Buildings, improvements, and structures 20 — 50 years
Machinery and equipment 5 —15 years
Infrastructure 15 — 50 years
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 exceeds
$5,000. The similar threshold for infrastructure is $25,000.
Z CompensatedAbsenees
Compensated absences are accrued as earned. Upon termination, employees are paid for all unused
vacation at their current hourly rates. Unused sick leave based upon the rate of two to three percent
(2%-3%) for each year of service, one half of accumulated sick leave becomes vested, up to a
maximum amount as specified under labor contract provisions. The vested portion is available for
current use or, if unused, is payable at termination or retirement.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2009
NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
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 changes of the compensated absences were as follows:
Governmental Business -Type
Activities Activities Total
Beginning Balance $4,498,077 $137,719 $4,635,796

Current Portion $840,577 $14,276 $854,853
K. 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 1% 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 I (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

L. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
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.
M. New Fund
The City has created the Print Shop and Mail Internal Service Fund in fiscal year 2009- The fund
was set up to maintain sufficient reserves for printing and mail payment. All costs associated
with printing and mail expenses are paid from this fund.
NOTE 2 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS
The City's goal is to invest at the maximum yield, consistent with safety and liquidity, while
individual funds can process payments for expenditures at any time.
A. Policies
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 entre 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.

E. Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value
of an investment. 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:

NOTE 8 --NET ASSETS AND FUND BALANCES
A. Net Assets
Net Assets is the excess of all the City's assets over all its liabilities, regardless of fund. Net Assets
are divided into three captions. These captions apply only to Net Assets, which is determined only at
the Government -wide level, and are described below:
Invested in Capital Assets, net of related debt describes the potion of Net Assets which is represented
by the current net book value of the City's capital assets, less the outstanding balance of any debt issued
to finance these assets.
Restricted describes the portion of Net Assets which is restricted to use by the terms and conditions of
agreements with outside parties, governmental regulations, laws, or other restrictions which the City
cannot unilaterally alter. These principally include assets restricted due to Redevelopment Agency
bond covenants or low and moderate income housing loan agreements.
Unrestricted describes the portion of Net Assets which is not restricted to use.
B. ITund Balance
Ll the fund financial statements, fund balances represent the net current assets of each fund. Net
current assets generally represent a fund's cash and receivables, less its liabilities. Portions of a
fund's balance may be reserved or designated for future expenditure.
C. Reservations
Reserves are restrictions placed by outside entities, such as other governments, which restrict the
expenditures of the reserved funds to the purpose intended by the entity which provided the funds. The
City cannot modify or remove these restrictions or reserves.
D. Designations
Designations are imposed by City Council to reflect the future spending plans or concerns about the
availability of future resources. Designations may be modified, amended, or removed by Council
action.

NOTE 9 — EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT PLAN
A. Plan Description
The City contributes to the Marin County Employees' Retirement Association (Association). All full-
time and permanent part-time employees who work at least 75% of a full time position are eligible to
participate.
The Association is an agent multiple -employer defined benefit retirement plan that acts as a common
investment and administrative agent for various local governmental agencies within the County of
Marin. The Association provides retirement, disability, and death benefits based on the employee's
years of service, age, and final compensation. Employees vest after five years of service and are eligible
to receive retirement benefits after 10 years of service and having attained the age of 50, or 30 years of
service (20 years for safety employees) regardless of age. These benefits provisions and all other
requirements are established under the County Employees' Retirement Law of 1937. The City's
retirement plan is included in a separately issued report from the Marin County Employees' Retirement
Association, which can be obtained from Marin County Employee's Retirement Association, 3501
Civic Center Drive, Room 408, Civic Center, San Rafael, California 94903.
B. Funding Policy
The funding policy of the Association provides for actuarially determined periodic contributions by the
City at rates such that sufficient assets will be available to pay Fund benefits when due. The City
contributed 50.90% and 58.69% of payroll to Fund for Police and Fire personnel, respectively, and
26.70°/% for other covered employees for the year ended June 30, 2009.
C. Annual Pension Cost
The annual required contribution was determined as part of the actuarial performed as of June 30, 2008.
The employer rates for normal cost is determined using the Entry Age Normal Actuarial Cost Method,
projected benefit cost method. It takes into account those benefits that are expected to be earned in the
future as well as those already accrued. The significant assumptions used in the 2008 actuarial
valuation include an assumed rate of return on invested assets of 8.00%, annual payroll increases
reflecting 4.00% for inflation and an approximate range of 0.50% to 3.00% for merit and longevity. The
actual rate of return on investments was a gain of 9.8%. 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 Association also uses the level percentage -open method to amortize the
unfunded actuarial liability which was revised to sixteen years level in the amortization period. It is
assumed that payroll will increase at an annual inflation rate of 4.00% over the amortization period. The
required contributions and related rates for the year ended June 30 were as follows:

NOTE 10 - PUBLIC AGENCY RETIREMENT SYSTEM (DEFINED CONTRIBUTION
RETIREMENT PLANS)
The City contributes to the Public Agency Retirement System (PARS), which is 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 plan is administered by Phase 11 located at F.O. Box 10009, Costa Mesa, California
92627.
Under a defined contribution pension plan, the benefits a participant will receive depend solely on the
amount contributed to the participant's account, the returns earned on investments on those
contributions, and forfeitures of other participant's benefits that may be allocated to such participant's
account.
As established by the plan, all eligible non represented employees of the City will become participants
in the plan from the date that they 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.
The City has established the voluntary Retirement Separation Program in fiscal year 2009.
During the year, the City and employees contributed $71,156. The total covered payroll of employees
participating in the plan for the year ended June 30, 2009, was $1,897,489. The total payroll for the
year was $40,377,568.

The provisions and benefits of the City's Other Post Employment Benefit Plan, in effect at June 30,

Funding Policy and Actuarial Assumptions
The annual required contribution (ARC) was determined as part of a .lune 30, 2007 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) 4.50% investment rate of return and (b)
3.00% of general inflation increase, and (c) a healthcare trend of declining annual increases ranging
from 10.4% to 11.3% in 2009 to 4.50% for year starting 2017. In addition, the fixed dollar benefit
amounts are assumed to increase according to general inflation in the future and the premium related
benefits are assumed to increase with the healthcare trend rate. 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 -tern
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 biannually as results are compared to past expectations and new estimates
are made about the fixture. The City's OPEB unfunded actuarial accrued liability is being amortized
as a level percentage of projected payroll using a 30 year amortization period.

NOTE 13 - RISK MANAGEMENT
The City manages risk by participating in the public entity risk pools described below and by retaining
certain risks.
Public entity risk pools are formally organized and separate entities established under the Joint Exercise
of Powers Act of the State of California. As separate legal entities, those 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
site and be sued. Each risk pool is governed by a board consisting of representatives from member
municipalities. Each board controls the operations of the respective risk pool, 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 these risk pools are not the
City's responsibility.
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 City also purchases commercial insurance for
property damage claims with an insured amount of $98,575,604. The City is self-insured up to a
maximum of $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 claims up to the
limit. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the City contributed $260,851 for coverage during the
current year and received a refund of $120,550 of prior year excess contributions. Financial statements

minimum of $750,000 for each worker's compensation claim.
The contributions made to each risk pool equal the ratio of their respective payrolls to the total payrolls
of all entities participating in the same layer of each program, in each program year. Actual surpluses or
losses are shared according to a formula developed from overall loss costs and spread to member
entities on a percentage basis after a retrospective rating.
B. Insurance Internal Service Funds
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.

NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
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.
The City worked with the Department of Justice (DOJ) to determine the City's compliance with the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). The DOJ ratified an ADA Settlement Agreement in
August 2004 providing a number of specific remedies including timelines, law specific solutions and
reporting over the next ten years. For example, City's Web site needs an ADA overhaul, and a
significant amount of items relate to curb ramps. As of June 30, 2009, the City has mad significant
progress in improving the accessibility of its programs, activities, services and facilities. The majority
of the remaining items relate to curb ramps. The City's latest estimate is 583 ramps remaining to be
constructed and the estimated average cost is $5,800 per curb ramp.
On October 1, 2002, the Agency entered into a second amendment to Section 33401 Tax Sharing
Agreement with San Rafael High School District. This agreement provides for additional payments
in the amount of $179,000 each fiscal year beginning with fiscal year 2002-03 through fiscal year
2021-22.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended June 30, 2009
NOTE 15 —SUBSEQUENT EVENT
The State of California adopted AB26 4X in July 2009 which directs that a portion of the
incremental property taxes received by redevelopment agencies be paid to the County
supplemental educational revenue augmentation fund (SERAF) in fiscal years 2009-10 and 2010-
11. The State Department of Finance will determine each agency's SERAF payment by
November 15 of each year, and payments are due by May 10 of the applicable year. Based on
the calculations in AB26 4X, the Agency's SERAF's are estimated to be $1,370,626 in fiscal
year 2009-10 and $282,188 in fiscal year 2010-I1. The Agency can use any legally available
funds to make the SERAF payments. The payment due in fiscal year 2009-10 represents 42% of
the Agency's cash and investments available for operations at June 30, 2009. The obligation to
make the SERAF payment is subordinate to obligations to repay bonds, however if the Agency
fails to make the SERAF payment the Agency may not encumber or expend future funds other
than to pay pre-existing indebtedness, contractual obligations and 75% of the amount expended
on Agency administration for the preceding fiscal year until the SERAF is paid in full. The
Agency's obligation is in addition to amounts due pursuant to the Fiscal Agreement as discussed
above in Note 6.

(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 1% and allocates a portion of that amount, by an annual
calculation, to all the taxing entities within a tax rate area.

AGREED UPON PROCEDURES REPORT ON
COMPLIANCE WITH THE PROPOSITION 111
2009-2010 APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT INCREMENT
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of San Rafael, California
We have applied the procedures below to the Appropriations Limitation Worksheet for the City of San Rafael for
the year ended June 30, 2010. These procedures, which were suggested by the League of California Cities and
presented in their Article XIHB Appropriations Limitation Uniform Guidelines were performed solely to assist
you in meeting the requirements of Section 1.5 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution. The sufficiency
of the procedures is solely the responsibility of the specified users of this report. Consequently, we make no
representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which this
report has been requested or for any other purpose. This report is intended for the information of management
and the City Council; however, this restriction is not intended to limit the distribution of this report, which is a
matter of public record.
The procedures you requested us to perform and our findings were as follows:
A. We obtained the Appropriations Limitation Worksheet and determined that the 2009-2010
Appropriation Limit of $66,617,708 and annual adjustment factors were adopted by resolution of the
City Council. We also determined that the population and inflation options were selected by a recorded
vote of the City Council.
B. We recomputed the 2009-2010 Current Appropriations Limit by multiplying the 2008-2009
Appropriations Limit by the annual adjustment factors.
C. For the Appropriations Limitation Worksheet, we agreed the Per Capita Income, County and City
Population Factors to California State Department of Finance Worksheets.
These agreed-upon procedures are substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion on the Worksheet. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Had we performed
additional procedures or had we made an audit of the Appropriations Limitation Worksheet and the other
completed worksheets described above, matters might have come to our attention, which would have been
reported to you.

MEMORANDUM ON INTERNAL CONTROL
SCHEDULE OF OTHER MATTERS
2009-01- Budgets and Cash Balances
Without a doubt the City's General Fund budget and liquidity is a top priority. As of June 30, 2009,
General Fund available fund balances amounted to $1.7 million. This amount represents eleven days of
general fund expenditures, a very low level of reserves. Actual expenditures for fiscal 2008-2009 totaled
$56.5 million and exceeded revenues by $2.1 million.
During this year's audit, we reviewed the City's financial condition and satisfied ourselves that the City
had sufficient resources available that it could continue as a going concern through June 30, 2010.
Continued deficit spending reduces the likelihood that the City will be able to continue as a going
concern, meaning the City is able to pay its bills on time. With our next audit we will again be required to
review the City's financial condition and determine the likelihood of the City's status as a going concern.
The City should continue to work toward a balanced budget, meaning current year revenues are sufficient
to pay for current year expenditures. Balancing the budget must be top priority. Secondarily, continued
close management and comparison of actual activity against the budget will be needed to ensure further
costs reductions are made as needed. Lastly, staff must determine a minimum cash balance needed for
the "dry spell" and to finance cash flows for the overall City. The City must ensure this minimum cash
balance requirement is not depleted.
Management Response: The City's financial condition is a top priority to Management. We
have held a study session, a workshop, and two community outreach town hall meetings for
budgetary information purposes from November 2009 through January 2010. The City Council
took action on January 4 and on January 26 to amend the fiscal year 2009-2010 budget. The
actions, totaling $2.8 million, included staffing reductions through layoffs and the elimination of
vacant positions, reductions of operating expenditures including contractual services, travel and
conferences and temporary seasonal help. We are continually monitoring the City's revenue and
expenditures and prepare cash flow worksheets to monitor the City's cash needs.
New Governmental Accounting Standards Board Pronouncements:
The following comments represent new pronouncements taking affect in the next few years. We cite
them here to keep you abreast of developments:
2009-02 — Statement No. 53 — Accounting and Financial Reporting for Derivative Instruments
(Effective for fiscal 2009-2010)
This Statement is intended to improve how state and local governments report information about
derivative instruments in their financial statements. Specifically, GASB 53 requires governments to
measure most derivative instruments at fair value in their financial statements that are prepared using the
economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting (proprietary and entity -wide
financial statements). Governments enter into derivative instruments as investments; as hedges of
identified financial risks associated with assets or liabilities, or expected transactions (that is, hedgeable
items); or to lower the costs of borrowings. Governments often enter into derivative instruments with the
intention of effectively fixing cash flows or synthetically fixing prices. Common types of derivative
instruments used by governments include interest rate and commodity swaps, interest rate locks, options
(caps, floors, and collars), swaptions, forward contracts, and futures contracts. In addition, this standard
addresses hedge accounting requirements.

2009-03 Statement No. 54 Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions
(Effective for fiscal 2010-2011)
This Statement establishes fund balance classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the
extent to which a government is bound to observe constraints imposed upon the use of the resources
reported in governmental funds.
The initial distinction that is made in reporting fund balance information is identifying amounts that are
considered nonspendable, such as fund balance associated with inventories. This Statement also
provides for additional classification as restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned based on the
relative strength of the constraints that control how specific amounts can be spent.
The restricted fund balance category includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific purposes
stipulated by constitution, external resource providers, or through enabling legislation.
The committed fund balance classification includes amounts that can be used only for the specific
purposes determined by a formal action of the government's highest level of decision-making authority.
Amounts in the assigned fund balance classification are intended to be used by the government for
specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed. In governmental
funds other than the general fund, assigned fund balance represents the remaining amount that is not
restricted or committed.
Unassigned fund balance is the residual classification for the government's general fund and includes all
spendable amounts not contained in the other classifications. In other funds, the unassigned
classification should be used only to report a deficit balance resulting from overspending for specific
purposes for which amounts had been restricted, committed, or assigned. Governments are required to
disclose information about the processes through which constraints are imposed on amounts in the
committed and assigned classifications.
Disclosure of the policies in the notes to the financial statements is required.
This Statement also provides guidance for classifying stabilization amounts on the face of the balance
sheet and requires disclosure of certain information about stabilization arrangements in the notes to the
financial statements.
The definitions of the general fund, special revenue fund type, capital projects fund type, debt service
fund type, and permanent farad type are clarified by the provisions in this Statement. Interpretations of
certain terms within the definition of the special revenue fund type have been provided and, for some
governments, those interpretations may affect the activities they choose to report in those funds. The
capital projects fund type definition also was clarified for better alignment with the needs of preparers and
users. Definitions of other governmental fund types also have been modified for clarity and consistency.
CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
MEMORANDUM ON INTERNAL
SCHEDULE OF PRIOR YEAR RECOMMENDATIONS
Prior year recommendations that require the reporting of the current year status are as follows:
2007-01: Parkins Citation Revenue Processing Controls
Current Status:
The City's parking citation contractor has provided a SAS 70 audit for the last two years.
2007-05: Information Systems Review
Current Status:
The City's Information Technology (IT) department has a Disaster Recovery Plan, a draft Public Safety
IT Contingency Plan, and a two-year strategic plan. The server room has a smoke detector. Any other
changes to the server room will have to be part of an overall facility needs assessment. Due to the
diversity of the different City department's, each new employee is trained by the department. Department
Director's or their designee will inform the IT department of the computer needs.

This Statement established uniform financial reporting standards for employers providing
postemployment benefits other than pensions (OPEB). There was no cumulative effect on prior
year financial statements. However, Note 11 to the financial statements was modified to include
required disclosures.
GASB Statement No. 49 -- Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pollution Remediation
Obligations
This Statement establishes financial reporting of obligations for pollution remediation. There
was no material effect on the financial statements from the implementation of this Statement.
Unusual Transactions, Controversial or Emerging Areas: No matters have come to our attention that
would require us, under professional standards, to inform you about (1) the methods used to account for
significant unusual transactions and (2) the effect of significant accounting policies in controversial or
emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. There have been no
initial selections of accounting policies and no changes in significant accounting policies or their
application during 2009.
Estimates: Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management
and are based on management's current judgments. Those judgments are normally based on knowledge
and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting
estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of
the possibility that future events affecting them may differ markedly from management's current
judgments. The most sensitive accounting estimates affecting the financial statements are depreciation,
compensated absences and fair values of investments.
Management's estimate of depreciation is based on useful lives determined by management.
These lives have been determined by management based on the expected useful life of assets as
disclosed in Note 1I. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the
depreciation estimate and determined that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.
Accrued compensated absences are estimated using accumulated unpaid leave hours and hourly
pay rates in effect at the end of the fiscal year as discussed in Note 1J. We evaluated the key
factors and assumptions used to develop the accrued compensated absences and determined that
it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a while.
Estimated Fair Value of Investments: As of June 30, 2009, the City, held approximately $44
million of cash and investments, as measured by fair value. Fair value is essentially market
pricing in effect as of June 30, 2009. These fair values are not required to be adjusted for
changes in general market conditions occurring subsequent to June 30, 2009.
Disagreements with Management: For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a
disagreement with management as a matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, concerning a
financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter that could be significant to the City's financial
statements or the auditor's report. No such disagreements arose during the course of the audit.
Management informed us that, and to our knowledge, there were no consultations with other accountants
regarding auditing and accounting matters.
CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
REQUIRED COMMUNICATIONS
Retention Issues: We did not discuss any major issues with management regarding the application of
accounting principles and auditing standards that resulted in a condition to our retention as the City's
auditors.
Difficulties: We encountered no serious difficulties in dealing with management relating to the
performance of the audit.
Audit Adjustments: For purposes of this communication, professional standards define an audit
adjustment, whether or not recorded by the City, as a proposed correction of the financial statements that,
in our judgment, may not have been detected except through the audit procedures performed. These
adjustments may include those proposed by us but not recorded by the City that could potentially cause
future financial statements to be materially misstated, even though we have concluded that the
adjustments are not material to the current financial statements.
We did not propose any audit adjustments that, in our judgment, could have a significant effect, either
individually or in the aggregate, on the City's financial reporting process.
Uncorrected Misstatements: Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely
misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the
appropriate level of management. We have no such misstatements to report to the Council.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council, its committees, and
management and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified
parties.
