The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the City of San Rafael for the year ended June 30,
2002, 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 fairness 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, account groups 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, Caporicci and Larson, CP As.
Further, the CAFR is prepared in accordance with procedures and policies set by the Government Finance
Officers Association and the California Society of Municipal Finance Officers. 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 fund and account group financial statements and schedules, as well as the
independent auditors' report.
3. Statistical section, which is unaudited, includes selected financial and demographic information,
presented on a multi-year basis. Generally, ten-year data is presented for expenditures, revenues,
assessed valuation for local properties and construction activity.
REPORTING ENTITY
This report is prepared utilizing Government Accounting Standards Board Statement (GASB) No. 14, the
purpose of which was to define the various entities that should be included in a CAFR. The financial
reporting entity includes all the funds and account groups of the primary government (i.e., the City of San
Rafael), as well as all of its related component units . The definition of a primary government entity is a
separately elected governing body -one that is elected by a majority of citizens in a popular, general
CAFR TRANSMITTAL LETTER
election. Conversely, component units are separate legal entities whose elected leaders are financially
accountable to or reliable on the primary entity. Component unit presentation is required in order to provide
the CAFR reader a complete, comprehensive financial picture.
Component units are broken down into two categories. Blended component units are part of the City's
operations, and therefore their financial data is included with that of San Rafael. The second category,
discrete component units, has financial data presented separate from the City's information in order to
recognize that they are separate legal entities with different governing bodies.
Under GASB Statement No. 14, the San Rafael Redevelopment Agency and the San Rafael Joint Powers
Financing Authority 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.1 in the Financial Section of the CAFR.
The City partICIpates in various organizations through formally organized and separate entitles
established under the Joint Exercise of Powers Act of the State of California. As separate legal entities,
these agencies exercise full powers and authorities within the scope of the related Joint Powers
Agreement including the preparation of annual budgets, accountability for all funds, and the power to
make and execute contracts. Obligations and liabilities of the separate entities are not those of the City.
For a further explanation of these separate entities, refer to Footnote No. 18 in the CAFR.
GOVERNMENTAL STRUCTURE AND SERVICES
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 2000 was 56,063.
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. ill
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,
Farmers' 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.
The City of San Rafael provides 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.

CAFR TRANSMITTAL LETTER
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. Successes for the past several years have been lead by the
Redevelopment Agency's commitment to a revitalization of downtown. Partnerships with community
members and the Chamber of Commerce have paved the way for both new businesses as well as expansion
needs of existing companies. Tourism and travel continue to support hotel and related industries and many
come from all over the world to enjoy the physical beauty of San Rafael and the surrounding areas.
Thanks to redevelopment efforts, two major new centers came to life. Wilson Equity Offices completed
the first two of five planned office buildings at the San Rafael Corporate Center. This prime office
development is located on an old utility plant site, and represents the type of high quality commercial
project the community had called for in the Downtown Vision approved several years ago. The Rafael
Town Center provides office space, retail square footage and 113 units of urban rental apartments.
Adjacent to the Rafael Town Center, the City completed the San Rafael City Plaza. An investment of $1.9
million, without the use of tax revenues, brought to life a community-gathering place for public events, and
includes a water wall feature.
2001-2002 produced the first economic downturn since the early nineties. Implosion of the technology
industry, a national recession and the terrorist attacks of September 11th all combined to produce fewer
revenues than the prior year. San Rafael braced itself for this downturn when the 2001-2003 biennial
budget was adopted by increasing General Fund reserves from 10% to 15%. All of this excess reserve will
disappear by the end of the two year budget cycle thanks in particular to a stagnant Northern California
economy.
Financial performance and the short term outlook is not getting any brighter in the current (2002-2003)
fiscal year. Sales taxes have been down for four straight quarters. Property taxes remain one area of
strength, as the desire to relocate to Marin County continues to put upward pressure on home values. 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 $35 billion as of December 2002. The Governor has proposed an immediate
$10.5 billion dollar deficit down payment that includes the loss of transportation funds for streets,
reductions in library allocations, and the taking of uncommitted Redevelopment Agency housing resources.
The State Legislature is expected to meet in January 2003 and begin cranking out a series of complex and
difficult decisions, which will leave no local government unscathed, including cities. San Rafael expects to
lose some or all vehicle license fees or some other large General Fund tax source, forcing the City Council
to make painful service delivery decisions. Compounding the State problems is an expected increase of $1
million needed for employee pension contributions (attributable to pension plan investment losses over the
past two years).
Anticipating that San Rafael was entering tough times, the City Council amended the 2002-2003 budget in
July of this year by eliminating vacant positions in the Public Works and Police Departments, dropping
theatre programming and trimming some operating expenses. Also, the level of spending was reduced for
street paving (by $100,000) and sidewalk replacement (by $281,000). The sum total of the actions in July
was $1.5 million to keep the 2002-2003 budget balanced.
iii
CAFR TRANSMITTAL LETTER
The 2003-2005 budget cycle looks to be the City's biggest financial challenge in the coming year. With a
continued flat economy (and no real recovery expected until at least late 2003) 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.
129 Economic development organizations in San

(56,063).
129 Unemployment rates for 2001 were 3.5%
(2000 was 2.3%) for the City and 2.5%
countywide. Entry-level positions are a
continued concern to businesses. The low
unemployment, coupled with high housing
costs, makes attracting and retaining these
types of workers a significant challenge.
129 Countywide office vacancy rates rose
dramatically to 22.4% for 2002, a dramatic
increase from the 2.7% levels for 1999.
129 Office rents in Central San Rafael were $3.10
per square foot; in North San Rafael the rate
averaged $2.75.
129 Industrial space rents averaged $1.05 per
square foot for San Rafael.
129 Major shopping areas, as measured III
available retail square footage, include the
Downtown corridor (938,000 aggregate), the
Mall at Northgate (743,000), Montecito Center
(130,000) and Northgate One (113,900).
129 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.
iv
CAFR TRANSMITTAL LETTER
129 Several hotels and motels support tourism activity, led by 235 room facilities for both the Embassy
Suites and Four Points Sheraton (formerly Wyndham Gardens).
129 Home buying and apartment rentals continue to be a challenge both in San Rafael and Marin County.
Mean household incomes in San Rafael are $74,000 as of 2000, but less than 30% can afford to buy a
median priced home. Rents for one bedroom apartments range from $800-$1,500, while two bedroom
apartments go for $1,075 to $1,625.
MAJOR INITIATIVES
Cmrent Veal' Projects, Accomplishme ors and Service Efforts
The City Council adopted a two-year budget in June of 2002 for the 2001-2003 fiscal years. The budget
process included focus group meetings, called "San Rafael Choices." These community sessions solicited
service and project priorities from various neighborhoods throughout the City. In addition, a public opinion
poll was conducted in January of 2001 to evaluate service importance and satisfaction. San Rafael received
very high marks on a broad menu of services.
Taking all of this information, and working with staff in all departments, the City Council was able to adopt
a budget that included over 700 objectives for the coming two-year budget period. 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.
Department summaries of the 2001-2003 major objectives, and the status of each are shown in the table
below. Established objectives are presented in the left-hand column. The right hand column identifies
specific accomplishments or progress completed relative to each objective. This list is by no means all
inclusive of the City's objectives, but is intended to highlight significant service and project efforts in the
two year accounting and budgeting cycle.

the two-year budget period. New projects may have been added since adoption, and are also included
below. Additional projects or actions for the July 2002 to June 2003 timeframe are as follows:
Ii Move forward on a number of new public facility projects:
~ Begin construction of a new Parking Garage at "C" and 3rd Streets. Construction to commence
March 2003. Also, parking revenue bonds will need to be issued to coincide with construction
timetable.
xi
CAFR TRANSMITTAL LETTER
~ Finish relocation of existing tenant and obtain occupancy of new space for Fire Dispatching and
Parking Services Division operations. Renovation and improvement should be completed for
occupancy by May for dispatching and summer for Parking.
~ Complete fundraising efforts through "Friends of San Rafael" in order to obtain full resources
needed for Pickleweed Community Center facilities expansion and renovation. Project should
begin in fiscal year 2003-2004.
~ During the 'parking holiday' period (Thanksgiving to New Years Day), replace all parking
meters. New digital meters will be installed on streets and in smaller parking lots. In addition,
some pay-by-space equipment is planned in long-term facilities, and a new revenue control
system replaces the old technology in the "A" street parking structure.
)i Facilitate a wide variety of private investment and economic development efforts, which include:
~ Continue working with PG&E and the Marriott Corporation to locate a new hotel on the current
PG&E administrative site downtown -plans to incorporate a relocation of St. Vincent de Paul
dining room.
~ Continue efforts to determine if a downtown Cineplex can be built (traffic studies and design
need staff analysis).
~ Negotiating with State Lands and Montecito Center owner regarding new public dock to be
located behind the Center.
=> Investigating environmental and wetland status of Bellam and Windward Way property to assess
its potential development. Coordinating with Fire Department, County of Marin and regional
regulatory agencies.
~ Community Services is working with the San Rafael School District to resolve childcare facility
needs on several campuses. A possibility is being explored of replacing all City owned modular
buildings with new permanent structures as part of a massive school facility upgrading project.
The District would own the sites and lease them to San Rafael for our on-site preschool and after
school programs.
)i The City currently has over 50 capital improvement projects under management in Public Works.
Key infrastructure efforts in the coming year consist of:
~ Repaving the Miracle Mile and the Second @ Union intersections.
=> Replace the pump station at Peacock Gap.
~ Work on the next phase of the Safe Routes to School program.
~ Study traffic signalization at several intersections. If studies and volumes suggest signalization
needs, prepare the necessary recommendations through Traffic Engineer and with the support of
affected neighborhoods.
~ Finnish the seismic and deferred maintenance study. Make recommendations for improvements
and operation needs to the City'S essential service buildings (Police, Fire, Community Centers for
shelter in the time of disaster) that would include the sizing and timing of a new bond measure.
~ Finalize renovation of Santa Margarita Park.
~ Complete designs of Bret Harte Park and Del Ganado Ditch improvements.

)I Technology needs are going to be addressed in the following ways:
:> Working closely with Marin Emergency Radio Authority (MERA) representatives, complete
installation and training of Police, Fire and Public Works staff.
:> Finalize the Police and Fire CADIRMS systems.
)I Other major efforts include:
:> Completing the General Plan 2020. Working through traffic constraints and housing opportunity
sites poses significant challenges in moving this committee process through the Planning
Commission and on to the City Council.
:> Developing and refining the 2003-2005 budget process. Prior budgets were developed in times
of growing services and higher revenues. Careful thought will need to be given on how to
involve employees, residents and businesses in a process that allocate dwindling resources across
an ever growing demand for services.
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 Financial Services Division maintains a traditional line item budget by major function. Budget control
is accomplished at the functional or division level within each fund. This budget creates a comprehensive
management and fiscal system aimed at achieving the objectives of each operating level consistent with
those that have been set for the community by the City Council. Each department director is responsible
for accomplishing goals within his or her functional area and monitoring the use of their budget allocations
consistent with policies set by the City Council and monitored by the City Manager.
GENERAL GOVERNMeNT FUNDS
Analy~j" ojMajor Tax Revenue"
2001-2002 tax performance represented a bust when compared to the five previous years of double-digit
growth. The 'magnificent seven' (six major taxes plus motor vehicle fees) declined 11.5% over the prior
year period. Tax revenues had mixed performance. Those that were economically sensitive (sales, hotel)
plummeted after the 9-11 attacks and a prolonged economic downturn. Stable sources (vehicles license
fees, property tax) grew as vehicle sales and assessed valuations climbed in 2001-02. The table below
summarizes changes from 2000-2001 to 2001-2002.

Sales Tax -Sales Tax now represents
41 % of all general fund revenues (as shown in
adjacent graph). The recession, terrorist attacks
and lack of new significant retailers resulted in
a 10.2 % decline in the City'S largest resource.
Drops occurred in all of the major groupings,
including autos ($337,324), general consumer
goods ($188,181) and business and industry
($436,138). Modest gains occurred in the
hotel, restaurant and food categories. No
recovery is expected in this source at least until
the latter part of the 2003 calendar year.

Property Tax -By far the major contributor to this change was the secured tax liens. Up 13.3% for
the year, assessed values continue to skyrocket as available housing sales remain competitive and interest
lending rates are at 40 year historic lows. 26% of the City'S property taxes were diverted in the early
nineties, on a permanent basis, as part of the Sacramento Legislature balancing the State budget. $523,857
came back to Marin County cities that have continued to pay 'excessive' ERAF property taxes under a State
prescribed formula.
xiv
CAFR TRANSMITTAL LETTER
Business License Tax -Adding a Business License Examiner position to the Financial Services
Division in 1998 has resulted in greater compliance and enforcement efforts. Special projects through
cooperation with other federal and state agencies have increased our total number of licensed businesses.
The increase in taxes is a combination of the Examiner's efforts, special focus on home occupations, and
CPI tax rate adjustments allowed under local ordinance.
Hotel Taxes -Tourism plummeted as business travel dropped markedly, even prior to the horrors
tied to the terrorist attacks. The 2.42% decrease had most hotels and motels results back to 1996-97 levels.
Embassy Suites dropped $168,010 (18%), and the Four Points Sheraton was off $130,740 (28%).
Property Transfer Tax -An annual double-digit increase in real estate values was offset by lower
volume of activity. Tum over of pre-Proposition 13 properties remained slow. Significant commercial and
office sites were part of the prior year (2000-01) results.
Franchise Fees -This tax is two fold. Taxes on the local waste hauler increased by $102,640. This
sum reflects an increase in service volume, customers and an audit of franchise fees collected. A 2% rate
increase was awarded to the refuse company in January 2002. This played a small role in the growth of this
revenue. Utility and cable operations were up about $133,676 (15.2%). Mismanaged State utility
programs led to huge spikes in electricity costs in 2001-02. Although consumers and businesses were hurt
by these increases, the residual impact to San Rafael was high electric franchise fees (up $39,000, or about
39%). Changes in the City'S cable provider resulted in increased services (and consumer rates) and higher
franchise fee collections.
Motor Vehicle In-Lieu Tax -In July of 1998, the State Legislature passed a bill to reduce this tax to
all citizens of California by 25% effective January 1, 1999. Trigger mechanisms in the bill raised this tax
reduction to 67.5% for California motorists. The majority of car taxes (vehicle license fees) are returned to
cities and counties. This 67.5%35% reduction amounts to a potential loss of City revenues in excess of
$2,000,000 per annum. The State pledged as part of this bill to backfill losses from its General Fund.
Through the 2001-2002 year end, the State has paid the backfill. This source remains extremely volatile so
long as the State has the ability to manipulate collection and distribution based upon its own interest.
Growth for the year is tied to increase in prior year auto sales (tax paid on value of car).
The decline of all taxes over 2001-2002 levels is significant. The majority of these moneys, which provide
general Police, Fire, Parks, Library and Recreation Programs, has provided budget stability and heightened
infrastructure maintenance in 2000-01 and prior years . For 2001-02, the economy performed at a lower
level and looks to remain sluggish for the foreseeable future.

A nalysi so af Major Expenditures by Function
Increases or decreases in governmental fund expenditures for major functions of the City compared to the
prior year are detailed below:
8.5% 8.0%

12.9% 7.6%
5.0% 4.5%
9.7% 10.0%
0.4% (89.5%
21.7% 44.1%
In summarizing the changes for Police and Fire Operations, public Safety expenditures have grown over
the prior year for several reasons. Compensation obligations in both bargaining groups required raises in
salaries and benefits ranging from 4% to 6%. A new Fire Inspector was added to the Fire Prevention
Bureau. Lastly, dramatic changes in workers compensation claims and costs added over $200,000 to public
safety benefit expenses as compared to the 2000-2001 levels.
The Public Works category in the current year includes additional staffing positions in Traffic Engineering
and Park Maintenance.
The City took over the apartment and hotel inspection program from the County. The results are the
addition of two Code Enforcement Officers in Community Development services.
Cu ltllfa I and Recreation actIVItIes encompass the Library, Falkirk, Recreation and Child Care
Programming. Expanded efforts in teen and theatre programming added over $50,000 of new expenses in
2001-2002. Well over half of these expenses are recovered through user fees.

CAFR TRANSMITTAL LETTER
Outlays for infrastructure projects and special needs are reflected as Capital Projects Completion of major
projects is paid through a combination of grant, redevelopment, matching and City resources. Annual
costs (which does not necessarily reflect project total) for the 2001-2002 were:
@ $958,911 for the resurfacing of over 40 streets using STIP funds occurred in the Fall of 2001.
@ $162,407 was the initial payment for the Lincoln Avenue Street and sidewalk rehabilitation project. A
total of $1.3 million was used through October of 2002 to completely resurface the road and improve
the worst sidewalk sections of a major north/south San Rafael road.
@ Sidewalk replacement along various segments throughout the community was $95,711.
@ The Redevelopment Agency participated in creating housing at 55 Fairfax Street. $1,180,000 was used
from Low and Moderate Housing Funds to convert this site to 40 units of affordable housing ..
@ The second phase of the BellamlKerner improvements included $861,230 of expenditures for street
improvements, new signals and improved turning lanes.
@ The widening of North San Pedro Road, using City mitigation and County resources, included $837,218
in 2001-2002. This project was completed in the Fall and included new signals, street widening and
medians for this major north San Rafael intersection.
@ The new San Rafael City Plaza was constructed at a cost of $1,918,000, of which $1,689,326 was spent
in the audit year. This project was completed without the use of taxpayer revenues and fulfills a major
public improvement need identified in the Downtown Vision.
@ The West Francisco Boulevard Ditch consumed $515,196 of the Agency's 1995 bond resources.
@ Parkside Child Care Center opened in Albert Park in September of 2001. Expenditures to complete this
project in 2001-2002 totaled $1,121,112.
@ The new Corporation Yard was under construction in 2001-2002. At year-end, $4,177,536 of 1995 and
1999 Agency bond moneys were drawn down to pay for the first p0l1ion of construction on this $6.7
million dollar facility.
@ Reopening the Terra Linda pool in March of 2002 was a welcomed event after fifteen months of closure
and major improvements to the City's only plunge. $1,169,641 paid in 2001-2002 was the final
construction portion of the $1,401,000 project budget.
Debt Service reflects a declining payment on outstanding assessment district bonds, as well as payment of
all Redevelopment debt remaining flat from year to year.
Fund Equity
In order to assess the increase or decrease in each governmental fund's assets, changes in fund equity from
June 30, 2001 to June 30, 2002 is discussed below. Fund equity in governmental funds can be described as
the difference between current assets and current liabilities, or accumulated earnings from operations.
Simply stated, it is the current spendable resources of the fund. The General Fund's change in fund equity
was as follows:
General Fund
2002 2001 Decrease
Fund Equity $8,460,420 $10,166,483 ($1,706,063)
xvii
CAFR TRANSMITTAL LETTER
The build up of fund equity through 2001 tied to strong economic performance tailed off in 2002. At year-
end, the total reflects a reserve of $3,347,314 set aside to meet compensation goals, the completion pf
General Plan 2020, loan receivables and other legal, contractual or administrative commitments. Another
$3,757,328 represents 10% of budgeted expenditures, which is consistent with the City'S Financial Policy
of a 10% General Fund Reserve. This portion is held for emergencies and cash flow cycles. The balance
of $1,355,598 are reserves the Council had established as part of the two year budget and are expected to be
consumed in the 2002-2003 fiscal year in order to maintain a balanced budget.
SPECTA L REVENlffl FUNDS
2002 200J Decrease
Fund Equity $14,558,876 $17,265,890 ($2,707,014)
~ The Special Revenue Fund~ as a group decreased in fund equity by 15.7%. Special Revenues Funds are
established for several reasons, including legal statutes, administrative practices and government
accounting standards. Gas Tax balances declined $482,039 as prior year revenues were used to
complete several street-paving projects. Traffic Mitigation balances dropped $1,137,208, reflecting the
signal and road improvement expenditures for the Bellam Boulevard and North San Pedro Road
projects. $404,678 of runoff charges (paid through property tax bills) was added to the Stormwater
Fund and held for projects to be completed in the 2002-2003 and subsequent years.
CA PTTA L PRO meT FUNDS
2002 20ill Decrease
Fund Equity $19,090,310 $28,494,422 ($9,404,112)
Use of Redevelopment Agency project bonds, as noted above, was the major contributor to this decline.
$2,226,250 remains in equity to complete new corporation yard garages and offices in East San Rafael.
The local school and college districts have claim to $308,000, and redevelopment housing efforts include
$1,355,823 for a "B" Street comer initiative. Completion of the Police and Fire CADIRMS technology
project requires use of $1,258,931 in 2002-03. $9,515,227 of unspent redevelopment bonds is held for
approved projects and should be drawn down within the next two years.
PROPRmTA RY FUNDS
The City has no water or sewer enterprise funds. Separately established districts throughout the City and
County provide these services. For the first time, the City is presenting a Parking Services Enterprise Fund.
Established with the adoption of the 2001-2003 budget, the Parking Fund is charged with running a full
menu of services, including enforcement, collection, adjudication, maintenance of equipment and
replacement of assets. This fund was accounted for as a Special Revenue Fund in prior audits, but is now
properly classified as an Enterprise Fund since the formation of the Parking Services Division under the
Management Services Department.
The City has six internal service funds in place. Replacement of all City vehicles, pool cars and rolling
stock is accounted for in the Equipment Replacement Fund. Rental charge to Departments allow for the
planned replacement of over $10,000,000 in City assets. Workers Compensation and Liability functions
xviii
CAFR TRANSMITTAL lETTER
are self-insured. The City participates in a "pooled" insurance program for catastrophic losses. The Dental
Insurance Program was established in 1997 when the City chose to become self-insured. The Radio
Replacement Fund was established this year to pay for MERA radio operating expenses and debt service
requirements. The City, as a member ofMERA, pays 16.9% of all expenses of this multi-agency entity.
DEBT ADMINISTRATION
The City has no outstanding general obligation bonds as of June 30, 2002. Several debts remain
outstanding for the City and its component units. Outstanding principal on debt obligations of the City
include $870,000 of special assessment bonds and $3,883,789 for the long-term portion of compensated
absences. Also, capitalized leases for equipment, ambulances and fire trucks total $223,726.
The San Rafael Redevelopment Agency has three separate tax allocation bonds outstanding. Year-end
outstanding principal balances total $43,479,004 for the 1992, 1995 and 1999 series. The new Tax
Allocation Bonds issued in June of 1999 received the first ever AA rating for a redevelopment bond issue
in the State of California. $169,000 is due as part ofanote payable related to the financing of real property
acquisition. The outstanding Certificates of Participation issued by the San Rafael Sanitation District
($4,130,955) are to be repaid by District property tax changes in future years and are not an obligation of
the City of San Rafael.
All assessment and tax allocation bond debt is administered by a third party custodial arrangement.
Pursuant to each individual bond document, the trustee collects taxes and remits payments to bondholders
based upon established schedules.
CASH MANAGEMENT
Income earned on investments represents a significant revenue source to the City and allows the City to
operate effectively with fewer resources than would otherwise be required. The investment portfolio at
June 30, 2002 was comprised primarily of U.S. Agency notes, certificates of deposit, medium term
corporate notes and pooled investments with the State of California'S Local Agency Investment Fund.
The City's investments are classified according to their respective credit risk. Purchases are made
following the City's adopted investment policy. Securities must be rated "A" or better at the time of
purchase. The majority of the portfolio'S securities are "AAA" U.S. agency bonds with respect to third
party safekeeping.
City funds are pooled for investment yield purposes. Interest is returned to the various funds comprising
the investment pool based on the fund's cash balance at the end of each quarter. Investments are presented
in the auditor's report under GASB #31. Market value adjustments have been made to all securities that
the City intends to hold until maturity.
GENERAL FIXED ASSETS
The general fixed assets of the City are those assets used in the performance of general government
functions. As of June 30, 2002, the property and equipment is provided for assets capitalized in the general
fixed assets account group. The book value of City owned assets at June 30, 2002 is $44,243,426.
xix
CAFR TRANSMITTAL LETTER
The City is required to change its financial presentatio~ including valuation of infrastructure assets, under
the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement #34. The GASB requirement for San
Rafael takes effect in fiscal year 2002-2003. City staffs are spending time and resources currently to
develop capitalization policies, complete a field audit and asset valuation process, and are working with our
auditors to meet the requirements of Statement #34 in a timely manner.
RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES
The City of San Rafael maintains a self-insured retention of $500,000 for general liability and participates
in a public agency risk sharing pool, California Joint Powers Risk Management Authority, for an additional
$24,500,000 in excess of $500,000. A third party claims administrator evaluates liability claims and makes
recommendations to the City.
The City's self-insured retention for workers compensation claims is $250,000 with excess coverage of
$9,750,000 with United States Fidelity and Guaranty. The City contracts with a different third-party claims
administrators for workers compensation claims.

Financial Management Policies
IT IS THE POLICY OF THE SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL TO BE PRUDENT,
CAREFUL AND OPEN REGARDING THE CITY'S FINANCIAL RESOURCES.
RECOGNIZING THAT A BUSINESS OR RESIDENT MUST PLAN FOR BOTH SHORT
AND LONG TERM FINANCIAL NEEDS, THE CITY SHALL MAKE EVERY EFFORT
TO DO THE SAME. THE CITY'S FINANCIAL POLICIES SHALL INCLUDE ASSETS
(BOTH HUMAN AND CAPITAL), EXPENSES, SAVINGS AND METHODOLOGY. To
THIS END, THE FOLLOWING SHALL BE THE CITY'S FINANCIAL POLICIES:

The City shall maintain its infrastructure.
Ongoing, preventative maintenance is an essential component of the City's
operations. Adequate funding shall be allocated in current years to minimize
expenditures in future years. Infrastructure maintenance includes, but is not
limited to street, sewers, storm drains, sidewalks, lights and parks.
The City shall adequately fund capital replacement.
To the extent possible, the cost of replacing or expanding existing facilities and
equipment will be fully amortized and funded as a continuing cost of doing
business. With respect to equipment, rates shall be established to recover the
replacement cost of each item at the end of its useful life. Facilities will be
amortized to cover ongoing maintenance and cyclical repairs and, to the extent
resources are available, for the replacement or expansion of major structures.
xxv
The City shall maintain competitive compensation.
The City wishes to continue positive labor relations, be competitive in the market
place and desires to attract and retain top talent. Competitive salary and
benefits will be provided to all employees within the City's means, with the
expectation that services being provided by all staff shall continue to be
exemplary.

The City shall know the cost of providing services, make
certain tax dollars are used both efficiently and wisely, and
incur debt only to the extent it does not create a long·term
financial burden.

The City must know its true costs of providing all services.
The City shall maintain current full business costs of providing each and
every City provided service. In addition, the City shall make conscious
decisions about cost recovery and/or general tax subsidy of those services
that benefit only portions of the tax paying public.
The City shall competitively procure goods and services.
Significant savings of tax dollars can be obtained through the competitive
bidding of purchases of goods and services. The City shall seek market
prices or proposals for all significant purchases of goods and services,
including periodic market testing of internally provided services, consistent
with the City's purchasing policy. Preference will be given to San Rafael
businesses.
The City shall oppose mandated programs that are unfounded.
The Federal and State Governments regularly adopt laws that mandate
local compliance or implementation. The City is forced to incur additional
operating costs and no funding is provided to pay for these mandates. The
City shall have a general policy against unfunded mandates, including
social services, which have an adverse impact to San Rafael's services and
budget.
xxvi
The City shall only borrow what it can afford to repay.
Loans and other debts will be established wisely to level out costs.
Refinancing of existing debt will take place when market conditions lend
themselves to economic gains . The City shall not overextend
indebtedness, which may cause undue financial burdens in subsequent
years.

Adequate reserves of funds shall be established to meet future capital
needs, to offset economic hard times, to stabilize fluctuations in cash flow
requirements, and to provide for emergency situations. This shall include
an ongoing 10% General Fund reserve.
The City shall conservatively invest its idle cash.
The City will invest its idle cash in a conservative manner so as to
safeguard public funds. Investment instruments will be chosen using
safety, liquidity and yield as the selection criteria.

City budgets must balance with ongoing revenues equal to or greater than
ongoing expenditures.
The City Council will continue to adopt balanced budgets on an annual
basis. Annual audited financial reports confirm the adoption of a balanced
budget, and note any discrepancies. These financial reports are used by
the financing community to gauge the City's credit worthiness, among other
issues.
Cost must be matched with revenues. Ongoing costs shall only be funded
with ongoing revenues. One-time costs can be funded with one-time
revenues. However, one-time revenues cannot fund ongoing costs.
The City shall base its budget on realistic estimates, assuming normal
revenue inflation will go to pay for normal inflation expenses.
The City shall make its budgetary and financial decisions on conservative
estimates or revenues and expenditures. Normal revenue growth, defined
as increased amounts from existing sources, may not always increase at a
rate equal to or faster than the expenses they support. As a result, the City
should avoid using such revenue as start-up revenue money for new
projects or programs that have ongoing costs. Increases in service levels
should be supported by new revenue sources or reallocation of existing
resources. If normal revenue inflation does not keep up with expense
inflation, alternatives such as decreases in expenses or new revenue
sources would be explored.
The City shall make and report its financial decisions publicly.
Public involvement is encouraged in budgeting and financial planning. The
City Council shall make all non-routine or non-administrative financial
decisions in public at regularly scheduled meetings. The results of such
decision making shall be reported in a timely manner through
Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports, newsletters and other public
information documents.
The City shall comply with all requirements of generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) as they apply to local governmental agencies.
The City will always conduct our financial affairs and maintain our records in
accordance with GAAP as established by the Government Accounting
Standards Board, so as to maintain accuracy and public confidence in our
financial reporting systems.
xxviii
The City shall maintain a long-range fiscal perspective.
The City shall examine its financial condition periodically by forecasting
several years into the future. In this way, adverse trends can be anticipated
and better managed.
The City will require that all proprietary funds (Enterprise and Internal
Service) be self-supporting.
Enterprise Funds
Any enterprise funds established by the City will be supported by
their own rates and not subsidized by the General Fund. We will
assess charges against those funds at a reasonable rate for services
provided by general government.
Internal Service Funds
The internal service funds for vehicle replacement, information
systems and building maintenance should be structured to fund
adequate maintenance and replacement of vehicles, office
equipment, information systems and City buildings in an efficient and
orderly marner. The Building Improvements Fund rates will be
brought up to appropriate levels over a five-year period. The Risk
Management (liability and worker's compensation) Self-Insurance
Funds will continue meeting the City's insurance needs as
economically as possible while maintaining sufficient levels of
coverage to protect the City's employees, property and reserves.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of San Rafael
San Rafael, California
We have audited the accompanying general purpose financial statements of the City of San
Rafael, California (City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002, as listed in the foregoing table
of contents. These general purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the City's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these general purpose financial
statements based on our audit. We did not audit the financial statements of the San Rafael
Sanitation District (District), which is presented as a discrete component unit in the
accompanying financial statements. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors
whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion on the general purpose financial
statements, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the District in the accompanying
general purpose financial statements, is based on the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United
States and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general
purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amountS and disclosures in the general purpose financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall general purpose financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit and the report of other auditors provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of other auditors, the general purpose financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
City as of June 30, 2002, and the results of its operations and cash flows of its proprietary fund
types for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles .in the
United States.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated October 31,
2002 on our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of
its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants.

the audit of the general purpose financial statements and, in our opinion, based on our audit and
the report of other. auditors, is fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the general
purpose financial statements taken as a whole. The statistical information listed in the foregoing

City of San Rafael
Notes to General Purpose Financial Statements
For the year ended June 30, 2002
1. REPORTING ENTITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements of the City of San Rafael (City) have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for
establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles.
A. Reporting Entity
The City maintains a Council-Manager form of government and provides the following services:
public safety (police and fire), public works, community development, library, parks, recreation,
childcare, and general administrative services.
As required by GAAP, these general purpose financial statements present the City (the primary
government) and its component units. Component units generally are legally separate entities for
which a primary government is financially accountable. Financial accountability ordinarily
involves meeting both of the following criteria set forth in GASB Statement No. 14: the primary
government is accountable for the potential component unit, and the primary government is able
to impose its will upon the potential component, or there is a possibility that the potential
component unit may provide specific financial benefits or impose specific financial burdens on the
primary government.
In addition to having the same governing board, the City is financially accountable for the San
Rafael Redevelopment Agency and the San Rafael Joint Powers Financing Authority, and
management activities of both entities are conducted by City staff. The two legally separated
entities are, in substance, part of the City's operations and are, therefore, blended into the City's
general purpose financial statements.
The component units discussed in this note are included in the City's reporting entity because of
the significance of its operational or financial relationships with the City. Each component unit
has a June 30 year end. Separately issued component unit financial statements can be obtained at
the City of San Rafael, Finance Division, 1400 Fifth Avenue, Room 204, San Rafael, California
94901.
Blended Component Units:
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 proposes to assist in the development of

A. Reporting Entity, Continued
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
fixed assets and long-term debt) are blended into the capital projects funds and debt service
funds. The Agency's fixed assets are included in the General Fixed Assets Account Group.
The Agency's long-term debts are blended into the General Long-Term Debt Account Group.
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 1 of the Government Code of the State of California for the
purpose of assisting in the financing and refinancing of certain assessment district activities of
the City.
All of the Authority's assets, liabilities, revenues and expenditures are blended into the capital
projects funds and the debt service funds. The Authority's long-term debts are blended into
the General Long-Term Debt Account Group.
Discretely Presented Component Unit:
San Rafael Sanitation District -The San Rafael Sanitation District (District) was formed in 1947
under Section 4700 of the California Health and Safety Code to provide wastewater
transmission over the southern two-thirds of the City and adjacent unincorporated areas. The
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 general purpose financial statements which includes the District's assets,
liabilities, revenues, expenses, results of operations and cash flows. The District's fiscal year
end is 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.

B. Description of Funds and Account Groups
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds and account groups, each of which is
considered a separate accounting entity with its own self-balancing accounts that comprise its
assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or expenses. These funds and account
groups are established for the purpose of carrying out specific activities or certain objectives in
accordance with specific regulations, restrictions or limitations. Governmental resources are
allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to
be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled.
The various funds presented in the general purpose financial statements are grouped into
categories as follows.
Governmental Fund Types:
The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all
financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other
than expendable trusts or major capital projects) that are legally or administratively restricted
to expenditures for specified purposes.
Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment
of, general long-term debt principal, interest, and related costs.
Capital Projects Funds are used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition
or construction of major capital facilities.
Proprietary Fund Types:
Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods or services provided by
one department or program to other departments or programs of the City, or to other
governments, on a cost-reimbursement basis.
Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations where it is the stated intent that costs of
providing services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered
primarily through user charges.

The General Fixed Assets Account Group is used to maintain control and cost information on
capital assets acquired to perform general government functions.
The General Long-Term Debt Account Group is used to record the unmatured principal of tax
allocation bonds, special assessment bonds, notes, compensated absences, the principal amount
of future lease payments due under lease purchase agreements and other long-term liabilities.
C. Measurement Focus
All governmental funds and expendable trust funds are accounted for on a spending or "current
financial resources" measurement focus. This means that generally only current assets and current
liabilities are included on their balance sheets, with the exception that the noncurrent portion of
long-term receivables are reported on their balance sheets, offset by fund balance reserve accounts
or deferred revenue.
Statements of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances for governmental funds
generally present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures
and other financing uses) in net current assets.
All proprietary funds are accounted for on a cost of services or "economic resources" measurement
focus. This means that all assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) associated with the
activity are included on the balance sheets. Their reported fund equity presents total net assets.
Proprietary fund operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in
total net assets.
D. Basis of Accounting
All governmental funds and expendable trust funds are accounted for using the modified accrual
basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in
the accounting period in which they become both measurable and available to finance
expenditures of the current period. Accordingly, revenues are recorded when received in cash

except that revenues subject to accrual are recognized as income when due. Accrued revenues
include property taxes, taxpayer-assessed tax revenues (sales taxes, transient occupancy taxes
franchise taxes, etc.) and earnings on investments. Grant revenues have been recorded according
to the provisions of GASB, whereby grant funds received before the revenue recognition criteria
have been met are reported as a receivable. Expenditures are recorded in the accounting period in
which the related fund liability is incurred except for unmatured principal and interest on long-
term debt, which are recognized when due, and compensated absences, which are recorded as a
fund liability and an expenditure when expected to be liquidated with expendable available
financial resources.
All proprietary funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting. Their revenues are
recognized when they are earned and become measurable; expenses are recognized when they are
incurred. The City applies all F ASB statements that do not conflict with or contradict GASB
guidance.
E. Budgets
The City adopts a budget on a biannual basis, to be effective July 1 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 funds, except for the East 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. No budget was created for the Recreation Fiduciary Expendable Trust Fund because
donations cannot be anticipated or projected.

E. Budgets, Continued
The basis of accounting applied to the budget data presented for the General Fund, special
revenue funds, debt service funds and expendable trust funds is the modified accrual basis of
accounting, and also conforms to GAAP. The capital projects funds budgets are based on a project
time frame, rather than a fiscal year 1/ operating" time frame, reappropriating unused
appropriations from year to year until project completion.
Supplemental appropriations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, were as follows:
Original Supplemental Final
Fund Budget AEEroEriations Budget
General Fund $ 35,665,740 $ 1,555,950 $ 37,221,690
Special Revenue Funds 15,609,166 646,115 16,255,281
Debt Service Funds 4,491,560 4,491,560
Expendable Trust Funds 58,420 24,540 82,960
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 reservations 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.
F. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments
The City pools its available cash for investment purposes. The City considers pooled cash and
investment amounts with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain
Investments and for External Investment Pools, highly liquid market investments with maturities of
one year or less at time of purchase are stated at amortized cost. All other investments are stated
at fair value. Market value is used as fair value for those securities for which market quotations
are readily available.
The City participates in an investment pool managed by the State of California titled Local Agency
Investment Fund (LAIF), which has invested a portion of the pool funds in Structured Notes and
Asset-Backed Securities. LAIF's investments are subject to credit risk with the full faith and credit
of the State of California collateralizing these investments. In addition, these Structured Notes and
Asset-Backed Securities are subject to market risk as to change in interest rates.

G. Short-Term Interfund ReceivableslPayables
During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual funds for goods
provided or services rendered. These receivables and payables are classified as 1/ due from other
funds" or 1/ due to other funds" on the balance sheet. Short-term loans are classified as interfund
receivables or payables.
H. Property Tax Levy Collection and Maximum Rates
The State of California (State) Constitution Article XIIIA provides that the combined maximum
property tax rate on any given property may not exceed one percent (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 two percent (2%) per year unless the property is sold, transferred, or improved. The
State Legislature has determined the method of distribution of receipts from a one percent (1 %) tax
levy among the counties, cities, school districts, and other districts.
Marin County assesses, bills for, and collects property taxes as follows:
Lien dates
Levy dates
Due dates
Delinquent as of
Secured
January 1
July 1
50% on November 1 and
50% on February 1
December 10 (for November)

Unsecured
January 1
July 1
July 1
August 31
The term 1/ unsecured" refers to taxes on personal property other than real estate, land, and
buildings. These taxes are secured by liens on the property being taxed.
Property taxes levied are recorded as revenue when received in the fiscal year of levy because of
the adoption of the 1/ alternate method of property tax distribution," known as the Teeter Plan, by
the City and the County of Marin. The Teeter Plan authorizes 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

Governmental Funds, the City recognizes taxpayer-assessed taxes in governmental funds as follows:
Sales Taxes -The City accrues actual advances from the State Board of Equalization received in
July and August of the subsequent fiscal year, as these amounts are both measurable and
available to the City to meet its financial obligation for the current period.

purchase and are subsequently capitalized for memorandum purposes in the General Fixed Assets
Account Group. Such assets include land, buildings, building improvements, furniture and
equipment.
Public domain /I infrastructure" fixed assets, such as roads, streets and sidewalks, bridges, curbs
and gutters, drainage systems, lighting systems, and similar assets, are not capitalized. No
depreciation is provided on general fixed assets.
All fixed assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is
not available. Donated fixed assets are valued at their estimated fair market value on the date
donated. Fixed assets acquired by lease obligations are valued at the present value of future lease
payments at the inception of the lease.

The collection systems and facilities of the District are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Assets contributed have been recorded at the fair market value at the date received. Maintenance
and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Improvements are capitalized and depreciated
over the remaining useful lives of the related fixed asset. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets.
A summary of the useful lives of the fixed assets of the District is as follows:
Subsurface lines
Sewage collection facilities
General plant and administrative facilities
K. Long-Term Lease Accounting

Fixed assets acquired through long-term lease contracts are capitalized at the time the contract is
executed. The related assets and liabilities are recorded in the appropriate fund or account group.
L. Compensated Absences
The City accounts for compensated absences (unpaid vacation, sick leave, compensatory time, and
administrative leave) expected to be currently payable as accrued payroll and benefits liability in
the governmental funds to which they relate. The balance of the earned and vested, but unused,
compensated absences expected to be paid subsequent to the end of current fiscal year, is recorded
in the General Long-Term Debt Account Group. Effective July 2001, the requirement that
employees hired before 10/79 be eligible for a portion of unused sick leave was eliminated. No
expenditure was recorded for these amounts.
M. Claims and Judgments
Claims and judgments that normally would be liquidated with expendable available resources are
accounted for in the internal service funds.
N. Appropriation Limit
Under Article XIIIB of the California Constitution (the Gann Spending Limitation Initiative), the
City is restricted as to the amount of annual appropriations from proceeds of taxes. For the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2002, based on calculations by City's management, proceeds of taxes did not
exceed related appropriations. Further, Section 5 of Article XIIIB allows the City to designate a
portion of fund balances for general contingencies to be used for any purpose.

o. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported
amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
P. Total Columns on Combined Statements
Total columns on the combined statements are captioned "Memorandum Only" to indicate that
they are presented only to facilitate financial analysis and do not present financial position, results
of operations or cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Such
data is not comparable to a consolidation. Interfund eliminations have not been made.
Q. Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial data in order to conform with the
current year presentation.
2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS
The City maintains a cash and investment pool, which includes cash balances and authorized
investments of all funds, which the City Treasurer invests to enhance interest earnings. The pooled
interest earned is allocated quarterly to each fund based on an average of quarterly opening and
closing balances of cash and investments.
A. Cash Deposits
The carrying amounts of the City's cash deposits were $4,560,346 at June 30, 2002. Bank balances at
June 30, 2002 were $5,607,110 which were fully insured and collateralized with securities held by the
pledging financial institutions in the City's name as discussed below.
The California Government Code requires California banks and savings and loan associations to
secure the City's cash deposits by pledging securities as collateral. This Code states that collateral
pledged in this manner shall have the effect of perfecting a security interest in such collateral superior
to those of a general creditor. Thus, collateral for cash deposits is considered to be held in the City's
name.
The market value of pledged securities must equal at least 110% of the City's cash deposits. California
law also allows institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes
having a value of 150% of the City's total cash deposits. The City may waive collateral requirements
for cash deposits which are fully insured up to $100,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. The City, however, has not waived the collateralization requirements.

The City's invesbnents with Local Agency Invesbnent Fund (LAIF) at June 30, 2002, included a
portion of the pool funds invested in Structured Notes and Asset-Backed Securities. These
invesbnents include the following:
Structured Notes are debt securities (other than asset-backed securities) whose cash flow
characteristics (coupon rate, redemption amount, or stated maturity) depend upon one or more
indices and/ or that have embedded forwards or options.
Asset-Backed Securities, the bulk of which are mortgage-backed securities, entitle their
purchasers to receive a share of the cash flows from a pool of assets such as principal and interest
repayments from a pool of mortgages (such as CMO's) or credit card receivables.
As of June 30, 2002, the City had $20,305,063 invested in LAIF, which had invested 3.086% of the pool
invesbnent funds in Structured Notes and Asset-Backed Securities. The LAIF fair value factor of
1.002780144 was used to calculate the fair value of invesbnents in LAIF.

The transaction advance refunded the 1991 Certificates by placing an amount in an irrevocable
escrow fund sufficient to retire the debt on August 1, 2001, terminating and legally defeasing the
1991 Certificates. The excess of the reacquisition price over the net carrying amount of the debt
defeased resulted in a deferred amount on refunding of $250,973. The deferred amount on
refunding as well as the discount are carried as a reduction of the certificates of participation to be
amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the new debt as a component of interest expense.
The transaction reduced total cash flows by $44,969 and resulted in an economic gain of $263,736.

12. EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT PLAN
A. Plan Description
The City contributes to the Marin County Employees' Retirement Fund (Fund). All full-time and
permanent part-time employees are eligible to participate.
The fund 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 Fund 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 Fund, which can be obtained from William M. Mercer, Incorporated, 3 Embarcadero
Center, Suite 1500, San Francisco, CA 94111-4015.
B. Funding Policy
The funding policy of the Fund 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 7.03% of payroll to the Fund for public safety personnel and 6.94% for other covered
employees for the year ended June 30, 2002. The City, due to a collective bargaining agreement,
also has a legal obligation to contribute one-half of the employees' contribution up to a maximum
of 7% of payroll for safety employees and a maximum of 5% of payroll for all other employees.
Employees have an obligation to contribute the remaining portion.
C. Annual Pension Cost
The City's annual pension cost to the Fund for the year ended June 30, 2002, of $2,880,000 was
equal to the City's required and actual contributions. The annual required contribution was
determined as part of the actuarial valuation performed as of June 30, 2001. The employer rates for
normal cost is determined using the Entry Age Normal Actuarial Cost Method, a 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 2001 actuarial valuation
include an assumed rate of return on investment assets of 8.25%, and annual payroll increases of
4.12% per year reflecting 4.25% for inflation and approximately 1.00% for merit and longevity. 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 Fund also uses the
level percentage-open method to amortize the unfunded actuarial liability which had fourteen
years left in the amortization period. It is assumed that payroll increases at an annual inflation rate
of 4.25 % over the amortization period.

14. PUBLIC AGENCY RETIREMENT SYSTEM (DEFINED CONTRIBUTION RETIREMENT
PLANS)
The City contributes to the Public Agency Retirement System (PARS), which is a defined
contribution retirement plan. A defined contribution retirement plan provides retirement benefits
in return for services rendered, provides an individual account for each participant, and specifies
how contributions to the individual's accounts are to be determined instead of specifying the
amount of benefits the individual is to receive. The plans are administered by Phase II located at
P.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 a
participant in the plan from the date that they are hired. An eligible employee is any employee
who, at any time during which the employer maintain this plan, is not accruing a benefit under the
Marin County Employees' Retirement Fund.
Contributions made by an employee and the employer vest immediately. 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.
During the year, the City contributed $70,613 and employees contributed $70,613. The total
covered payroll of employees participating in the plan for the year ended June 30, 2002, was
$1,883,013. The total payroll for the year was $30,237,962.
Additionally, the City participates in a 401(a) tax qualified plan for eligible non-represented
management/ mid-management employees. This is an employer only contribution program
separate from the Marin County Employees' Retirement Fund. The City Manager, as Plan
Administrator, annually determines the percent amount of contribution which can range from 0 to
5% of base salary of eligible employees. During the year, the City contributed $110,839 to the plan
on behalf of the eligible employees.

15. POST-EMPLOYMENT HEALTH CARE BENEFITS
The City provides certain health care benefits for retired employees and their spouses. The benefit
provisions were established under the authority of the 1937 Act, Section 31450, et. seq. of the
Government Code. Substantially all of the City's employees may become eligible for these benefits
if they are receiving a retirement benefit from the Marin County Employees' Retirement Fund
within 120 days of retirement from City employment. At June 30, 2002, 207 retirees received post-
employment health care benefits. Those expenditures are reduced by reimbursements from the
Marin County Retirement Office of the annual amount set forth in the County Retirement Rules
and Regulations 1937 Act as amended and in Sections 31450 et. seq. of the Government Code. The
cost of retiree health care benefits is recognized as an expenditure as claims are paid. For the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2002, those costs totaled $309,303.

Note: The general laws of the State of California for Municipalities provide for a legal debt limit of 15% of
gross assessed valuation. However, this provision was enacted when assessed valuation was established
based upon 25% of market value. Effective in fiscal year 1981-82, taxable property is assessed at 100%
of market value. Although debt limit provisions have not been modified by the State since the 81-82 change,
the percentage has been proportionally modified to 3.75% (15% X 25%) for the purpose of this calculation
in order to reflect consistency within the State's original intention of debt limitation.

SALES TAX
Description: Sales and use tax is imposed upon most retail transactions. The Marin County rate reflects
only the basic tax as charged by the State. Of the total 7.25%, 1.00% is returned to San
Rafael. The remainder is allocated to the State's General Fund (5.00%) and the County for
transportation, public safety and other programs (1.25%). Beginning January 2001, the State
portion was reduced 1/4% pursuant to legislation in Sacramento tied to growth in California tax
revenues.
Background: Voter approved laws, restricting tax raising limits, began with Proposition 13 in 1978 and have
occurred up through Proposition 218 in 1996. These revenue restrictions, coupled with State
redistribution of property taxes, have forced cities to rely more and more on sales tax for
municipal services. San Rafael continues to be the retail hub of Marin County, and as such has
benefited from retail uses created by market forces and the Redevelopment Agency efforts
over the past few years .
Results: The early part of this decade represented a deep recession that lasted for several years.

Beginning in 1995-96, the City began to see real increases in sales tax that reflected an
economy on the rise. For the last few years, a combination of global expansion, international
commerce, new local retail business and significant new and leased automobile sales have
translated into significant increases in sales tax. Taxes in 2000-01 are at levels 60% above
those in 1995-96. The economic recession of 2001 and 2002 has produced dramatic drops in
this funding source. Modest growth is expected in the middle of 2003.

PROPERTY TAX
Description: Property tax is imposed on real property (land and permanent improvements) as well as
tangible personal property (furniture, fixtures and equipment). The general levy tax rate is 1 %
of assessed value, adjusted by an annual inflation factor not to exceed 2%. Property is
assessed by the Marin County Assessor's office, except for certain public utility property which
is assessed by the State Board of Equalization.
Background: Growth in property tax revenues is realized from either increased valuation occurring when
property is sold and subsequently reassessed or from the 2% annual increase allowed under
Proposition 13. Since 1992-93, the State has redirected 26% of local San Rafael taxes into its
own budget. Beginning in 1994-1995, the City adopted the "teeter" plan which allows the City
to receive 100% of its property tax, regardless of when the taxes are paid.
Results: The graph below takes on two elements. The first bar shows the actual and estimated 1 %
levy revenues for the City. The additional bar shows the amount of money lost to the State via
tax redistribution. The City receives approximately 12% of each dollar net of redistribution to
the State. The cumulative losses to the City from 1992-93 through 2001-02 total $10,167,618
(per League of California City data). Property taxes continue to rise as recent development
hits the assessor rolls and high demand to be in Marin County remains.

MOTOR VEHICLE IN LIEU FEES
Description: A special license fee is imposed by the State on motor vehicles "in lieu" of property tax. The
Motor Vehicle In lieu Fees are paid by the registered owner of a vehicle. This fee is paid
initially at the date of purchase on new or used vehicles . In second and subsequent years, it is
remitted as part of the vehicle registration process.
Background: A two percent rate is applied to vehicle value annually in order to compute the fee paid by the
registered owner. The 2% rate applies to the original sales value in the year of purchase. By
State Statute, the valuation declines each year by 10% of the remaining value, leveling off at a
15% valuation factor in year 11 . Of the total fees collected by the State, approximately 12% are
distributed to cities . The State approved a reduction of 25% in the personal property tax to
voters for calendar year 1999. An additional 10% rate reduction occurred January 1, 2000, and
the final allowable trigger of 30.5% was completed in 2001 . All tolled, this 67.5% tax reduction
leaves the City at risk because the revenue is "backfilled" from State general fund revenues.
This revenue remains unstable so long as State legislators have the ability to manipulate
collection and distribution reductions during each year of the budget sessions.
Results: Modest increase in revenues are expected in the next two years . Sales of new and used
vehicles should climb moderately, with prices moving close to cost of liv ing indices. The new
Chevrolet dealership in East San Rafael should add some overall car sales volume, and
corresponding vehicle license fees to the City's coffers.

BUSINESS LICENSE TAX
Description : Business License Tax is imposed on all business for the privilege of conducting business within
the City. Most retail, wholesale, professional and service industries pay this tax on a gross
receipts basis. A small portion of businesses pay a tax rate based upon the number of
employees. Apartments pay a tax based upon the number of rental units.
Background: The tax rates are identified in Municipal Code Section 10.04, subject to indexing for inflation.
The rates were last modified in 1991. Future rate restructuring would likely fall under
Proposition 218 voter approval reqUirements. Estimated tax revenues are based upon a
combination of inflation factors, business expansion and retention, turnover, desk and field
audits.
Results: This source of revenues is sensitive to economic cycles. For the past several years, the strong
economy has produced fairly strong growth in this source, particularly those businesses who
pay licenses on a gross receipts basis. Beginning in 1998-99, a field audit position captured
well over 200 new businesses that added to the increases in tax revenues. For 2001-2003,
growth is mostly focused on new business identified via a number of external reference
checking sources. Special project revenues added total dollars through 2001-2002.

HOTEL (OCCUPANCY) TAX
Description : Hotel tax, also referred to as occupancy tax, is imposed on occupants of hotels, inns, motels
and other lodging facilities unless such occupancy is for a period of 30 or more days. The tax
is applied to a customer's lodging bill . Taxes are remitted either monthly or quarterly for all
approved lodging operators.
Background: The current hotel tax rate is 10%. It was last modified in 1988. Factors that influence this
revenue source include room rates, occupancy levels , the number of rooms available for
lodging , business retention, new business development and tourism. The City currently has 9
hotels/motels. These range in scope from a bed and breakfast inn all the way up to corporate
chain facilities . The two largest hotels generate 83% of the total tax received by the City.

For 1998-99, remodeling of the old Bermuda Palms into the Days Inn has translated into
improved tax from this location. In 1999-00 the Wyndham was acquired by the Four Points
Hotel. Occupancy rates started declining in 2001 when the business economy slowed. 9-11
created traveling fears, thereby resulting in a 24% decline in 2001-02. The development of a
new Hilton Hotel is expected to add future hotel revenues in 2004.

PROPERTY TRANSFER TAX
Description: Property transfer tax is imposed on any conveyance of real property when a change in "deed"
is filed with the County of Marin.
Background: The City's Real Property Transfer Tax regulations are laid out in Municipal Code Section 3.22.
San Rafael's tax is imposed at the rate of two dollars for each thousand dollars or fractional
part of one thousand dollars in sales value. This revenue source was last modified in 1990,
resulting in an increase in rates from $1.10 to $2.00 per thousand dollars of value. This rate
change is reflect in the chart below.
Results: This resource, like many tax revenues, is tied to the overall economic vitality of the City. A
boom in market activity resulted in a 45% increase in 1996-97 over 1995-96. Likewise, 1997-
98 was another banner year, up 15% over 1996-97. 1998-99 was 4% less due to limited
housing stock available on the market. In 1999-00 and 2000-01, double digit increases in
real estate values on pre-Proposition 13 properties that turned over and new commercial and
office sites resulted in a large gains once again. For the 2001-2003 period, resources are
expected to decline because of decreased volume in housing and real estate sales; values
should rise sliohtlv.

FRANCHISE FEES
Description: San Rafael imposes a fee on the distribution and sales of public utility services. City Charter
Article XIV provides regulations concerning franchised agencies and businesses. Currently, the
City charges PG&E a franchise fee of 1% for gas and 1/2% for electricity. The local cable
provider, AT&T, pays a 5% franchise fee on a quarterly basis to San Rafael.
Background: In 1997, the City adopted a new franchisee fee for refuse services. The 10% rate is imposed on
Marin Sanitary Service for refuse and recycling services provided in the franchisee's service
area (all of the City except North San Rafael). For the other utilities, the current rates are
applied to revenues generated within the City limits. Statewide utility deregulation is causing
cities, including San Rafael, to see lower overall franchise fees from the major utility provider.
Results: The graph below takes on two elements. The first bar shows the franchise fees on utility
companies only (PG&E and AT&T Cable). The second portion shows the new franchise fee for
refuse that began in 1997-98. For the 2001-through 2003 period , the taxes on the refuse
hauler increase due to service volume and additional customers. Fiscal year 2001-2002
represents two anomalies. Statewide electricity rate spikes in 2001 translated to higher than
expected utility franchise revenues. back payments on local refuse hauler collections added
new one time dollars to the refuse franchise category.
