October 21, 2013
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,
2013, is hereby submitted as required by local ordinances, State statutes and bond covenants. This financial
report has been prepared in conformance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as promulgated
by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and includes the report of the independent
certified public accounting firm, Maze and Associates Accountancy Corporation, who has issued an
unqualified (“clean”) opinion on the City of San Rafael’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2013.
The independent audit of the financial statements is part of a broader, federally mandated “Single Audit”
designed to meet the needs of federal grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Audit engagements
require the independent auditor to report on the audited agency’s internal controls and compliance with
legal requirements, with special emphasis on such controls and requirements involving the administration
of federal awards. These reports will be available in the City’s separately issued Single Audit 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 and component units of the City of San Rafael. 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 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.

CAFR TRANSMITTAL LETTER
REPORTING ENTITY – PROFILE OF THE GOVERNMENT
The City of San Rafael is located 17 miles north of San Francisco in Marin County. Protected by its
Mediterranean like setting along the shores of the San Francisco Bay, the City enjoys a mild climate year
round. As the County seat, San Rafael is considered the commercial, financial, cultural and civic hub of
Marin County. Abundant recreational facilities are available in and around the City. The City’s park and
recreational resources include 25 City parks, City and County open space, and China Camp State Park. San
Rafael is close to other attractions, including Muir Woods, Mount Tamalpais, four other State parks, as well
as San Francisco, Oakland and the wine country.
In 1874, the City of San Rafael became the first incorporated City in the County, later becoming a charter
city in 1913 by vote of City residents. The City Council comprises five members; four are elected at large to
four-year terms. The mayor is elected separately to a four-year term. The City’s land area is 22 square
miles, including 17 square miles of land and five of water and tidelands. San Rafael's population on January
1, 2013 was 58,182, an increase of 0.3% from the January 1, 2012 population of 57,982.
Downtown San Rafael is the location of many community events, including May Madness Classic Car
Parade, a 26 week Farmers Market Festival on Thursday Nights, Second Friday Art Walks, Twilight
Criterium Bike Race, Mill Valley Film Festival, and the Winter Wonderland/Parade of Lights. San Rafael
is also the heart of the County’s cultural activities with venues such as the Marin Center, Falkirk Cultural
Center, the Christopher B. Smith Film Center, and a host of diverse dining and entertainment venues. Marin
Center presents numerous ballets, concerts, speaking engagements, and the award winning Marin County
Fair. The Falkirk Cultural Center provides art exhibits and children's programming. The City is also home
to the distinguished Dominican University of California.
The City of San Rafael provides a full range of municipal services required by statute or charter, namely:
police and fire protection, construction and maintenance of streets, parks, storm drains and other
infrastructure, recreation, childcare, permits, planning, code enforcement, and a library system serving two
locations. The City performed certain infrastructure construction and economic development activities
through a separate Redevelopment Agency until its dissolution on February 1, 2012. The City of San Rafael
accepted the role of Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency per Council action on January 3,
2012.
The City and California Municipal Finance Authority compose the San Rafael Joint Powers Financing
Authority, which was originally established by the City and former Redevelopment Agency for the purpose
of financing redevelopment and other projects. The San Rafael Sanitation District is a discretely presented
component unit of the City of San Rafael and is presented independent of City financial information. For a
further explanation of these entities, refer to Footnote No. 1 in the Financial Section of the CAFR.
The City participates in various organizations through formally organized and separate entities
established under the Joint Exercise of Powers Act of the State of California. As separate legal entities,
these agencies exercise full powers and authorities within the scope of the related Joint Powers
Agreement including the preparation of annual budgets, accountability for all funds, and the power to
make and execute contracts. Obligations and liabilities of the separate entities are not those of the City.
For a further explanation of these separate entities, refer to Footnote No. 12 in the CAFR.

CAFR TRANSMITTAL LETTER
ECONOMIC FACTORS
The City has a diversified economic base, which includes high-tech, financial, service-based, entertainment
and industrial businesses. Downtown San Rafael provides a mix of restaurants, retail stores and financial
institutions. The City’s diversified economic base is also reflected in a diverse property tax base, which is
76% residential, 21% commercial and 3% industrial. The top 50 sales tax producers provide 56% of overall
sales tax revenues.
For fiscal year 2013-2014, sales tax is projected to increase over the prior year by approximately 6.5%, and
Transaction Use Tax (Measure S) is projected to increase by about 5%. Property-related taxes are projected
to increase by approximately 3%. On the November 2013 ballot there will be a measure (Measure E) to
extend the existing Transaction Use Tax and add an additional .25% to this tax for another 20 years. All
other revenues, including business tax, franchise tax, charges for services and permit fees are expected to
experience modest increases.
It is anticipated that economy will continue to grow during the upcoming year, but job gains will be limited.
The City has achieved significant progress by funding current year operating expenses without the use of
one-time revenues or reserves. However, the organization has deferred maintenance and capital
replacement for several years, and reduced its organizational capacity by approximately 20% over the past
six years.
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.
Economic development organizations in San Rafael include the Downtown Business Improvement
District, Chamber of Commerce and the Marin Economic Forum.

largest employers include Kaiser Permanente, Autodesk, Comcast, City of San Rafael, Safeway,
Macy’s, MHN, Bradley Real Estate, Dominican University of California, and Guide Dogs for the Blind
Major shopping areas, as measured in available retail square footage, include the Downtown corridor
(938,000 aggregate), Northgate Mall (725,000), Montecito Center (130,000) and Northgate One
(113,900).
The top three sales tax categories in 2012 for San Rafael are as follows: 1. Autos and Transportation,
2. General Consumer Goods, 3. Building and Construction.
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.

Marin County. Rents for one bedroom apartments range from $1,000-$1,900, while two bedroom
apartments go for $1,500 to $2,950.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The City's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls to ensure that the
City's assets are adequately protected from loss, theft or misuse. In addition, management controls 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. It is management’s belief that
the City's internal accounting controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance that
financial transactions are properly recorded.
The City develops a budget based upon City Council priorities and department objectives. The Finance
Department maintains a traditional line item budget by major function. Budget control is accomplished at
the functional or division level within each fund. This budget creates a comprehensive management and
fiscal system aimed at achieving the objectives of each operating level consistent with those that have been
set for the community by the City Council. Each department director is responsible for accomplishing goals
within his or her functional area and monitoring the use of his or her budget allocations consistent with
policies set by the City Council and monitored by the City Manager.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

of the City’s departments. We would like to specifically call out the diligent, dedicated efforts of the
Finance Department's staff. Appreciation goes to Van Bach, Accounting Manager, Helen Yu, Senior

the second consecutive year that the City received the award.
Lastly, support by the Mayor and City Council Members, with an emphasis on community based guidance
and customer service, has allowed the Finance Department to bring professional level financial leadership
and management home to San Rafael.
Respectfully submitted,
Nancy Mackle Mark Moses

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of San Rafael, California
Report on Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund, the aggregate remaining fund information and the discretely presented
component unit of the City of San Rafael as of and for the year ended June 30, 2013, and the related notes
to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in
the Table of Contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not
audit the financial statements of the San Rafael Sanitation District which is reported as a discretely
presented component unit. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been
furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the District, is based
solely on the report of the other auditors. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits
contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the City’s preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s
internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinions.
1
Opinions
In our opinions, based on our audit and the report of other auditors the financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental
activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, the aggregate remaining fund information and the
discretely presented component unit of the City as of June 30, 2013, and the respective changes in
financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof and the respective budgetary comparisons
listed as part of the basic financial statements for the year then ended in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matters
Management adopted the provisions of the following Governmental Accounting Standards Board
Statements, which became effective during the year ended June 30, 2013 and had material effects on the
financial statements:
Statement 63 - Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources,
and Net Position. See note 8 to the financial statements for relevant disclosures.
The emphasis of these matters does not constitute a modification to our opinions.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that Management’s
Discussion and Analysis, and budgetary comparison information for the General Fund, Traffic and
Housing Mitigation Fund, and Gas Tax be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such
information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the
basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic or historical context. We have applied
certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of
management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion
or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with
sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City’s basic financial statements as a whole. The Introductory Section, Supplementary
Information, and Statistical Section as listed in the Table of Contents are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not required parts of the basic financial statements.
2
The Supplementary Information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates
directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements.
The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information
directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to
the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the Supplementary
Information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a
whole.
The Introductory and Statistical Sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on them.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated October 18,
2013, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other
matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over
financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on
internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control
over financial reporting and compliance.

CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2013
Government-wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements present the financial picture of the City and provide readers with a broad
view of the City’s finances. These statements present governmental activities and business-type activities separately
and include all assets of the City (including infrastructure) as well as all liabilities (including long-term debt).
Additionally, certain interfund receivables, payables and other interfund activity have been eliminated as prescribed by
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34.
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Position report information about the City
as a whole. These statements include all assets and liabilities of the City using the accrual basis of accounting, which is
similar to the accounting used by most private-sector companies. All of the current year’s revenues and expenses are taken
into account, regardless of when cash is received or paid.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City’s assets and liabilities, with the difference between the
two reported as net position. Over time, increases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial
position of the City is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Position presents information showing how the City’s net position changed
during the year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs,
regardless of timing of related cash flows.
In the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Position, City activities are separated as
follows:
Governmental Activities – Most of the City’s basic services are reported in this category, including Public Safety, Public
Works and Parks, Community Development, Cultural and Recreation and Government Administration (finance, human
resources, legal, City Clerk and City Manager operations). Property, 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 fees to customers to cover the full costs of certain services it provides. The City’s
Parking Services program is the City’s sole business-type activity.
Discretely Presented Component Units - The government–wide financial statements include not only the City itself (the
primary government), but also the San Rafael Sanitation District, a legally separate entity for which the City is financially
accountable. Financial information for the San Rafael Sanitation District is reported separately from the financial information
presented for the primary government.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 23 through 25 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 are divided into three
categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
The fund financial statements provide detailed information about each of the City’s most significant funds, called major
funds. The concept of major funds, and the determination of which are major funds, was established by Governmental
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 34. Each major fund is presented individually, with all non-major funds
summarized and presented in a single column. Further detail on the non-major funds is presented on pages 90 through 110 of
this report.

CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2013
Governmental Funds – Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental
activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements,
governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on
balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a
government’s near-term financial capacity.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is
useful to compare the information presented for government funds with similar information presented for
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the
long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and
the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to
facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. These reconciliations are
presented on the page immediately following each governmental fund financial statement.
The City has thirty-four 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 fund balances. The City’s four major funds are - the General
Fund, Gas Tax, Traffic and Housing Mitigation, and Equipment Replacement. Data from the other thirty
governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. The basic governmental fund financial
statements can be found on pages 28 through 31 of this report. Individual fund data for each of these non-major
governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements on pages 90 through 110 of this report.
Proprietary Funds – The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds - enterprise funds and internal service funds.
Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial
statements. The City uses an enterprise fund to account for its Parking Services program, and reports it as a major fund.
Internal service funds are used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City’s various functions. The City uses
internal service funds to account for its building maintenance, workers compensation, general liability, and self-insured dental
program, and other employee and retiree benefits programs. Because these services predominantly benefit governmental
rather than business-type functions, they have been included within governmental activities in the government wide financial
statements.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more
detail. Like the government-wide financial statements, proprietary fund financial statements use the accrual basis of
accounting. There is no reconciliation needed between the government-wide financial statements for business-type
activities and the proprietary fund financial statements.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 34 through 36 of this report.
Fiduciary Funds – Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government.
Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not
available to support the City’s own programs. The City acts as an agent on behalf of others, holding amounts collected, and
disbursing them as directed or required. The City’s fiduciary activities are reported in the separate Statements of Fiduciary
Net Position and the Agency Funds Statement of Changes in Assets and Liabilities. The City’s fiduciary funds include a
private purpose trust fund to account for activities of the City of San Rafael Successor Agency, and an agency fund that
accounts for resources held by the City in a custodial capacity for the Pt. San Pedro Road Assessment District.
Information for the fiduciary funds can be found on pages 38 through 39 of this report.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Statement of Net Position
Net position is one indicator of the City’s financial position. During this fiscal year, the net position of the City was
$240.1 million from Governmental Activities, and $13.2 million from Business-type Activities, for a total of $253.3
million. This represents an increase of $12.5 million from the prior year.
The following is the condensed Statement of Net Position for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Summary of Net Position
June 30, (in thousands)
Current governmental liabilities decreased by approximately $5.6 million, primarily due to the retirement of a $6.0
million tax revenue anticipation note during fiscal year 2012-2013. The $9.2 million decrease in non-current,
governmental liabilities and $231K in business-type liabilities was largely due to the establishment of the OPEB trust,
which resulted in the recognition of $12.0 million in trust pre-funding when assets previously set aside were
transferred from the City to the trust.

CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2013
The increase in total net position from fiscal year 2012 to fiscal year 2013 is chiefly attributable to positive general
fund operating results and the accumulation of funds for specific purposes (e.g., traffic and housing mitigation, capital
projects, equipment replacement, building maintenance, gas tax, etc.).
The net position in business-type activities, which reflects the activity of the Parking Services program, was
substantially unchanged, registering a $26 thousand increase from the previous year.
At June 30, 2013, the largest portion of net position, 81 percent, consisted of the City’s net investment in capital
assets. This component represents the total amount of funds required to acquire capital assets less any related debt
used for such acquisition that is still outstanding. The City uses these assets to provide services to residents. The
capital assets of the City are not sources of income for repayment of debt as most assets are not revenue generating and
generally are not liquidated to repay debt. Therefore, debt service payments are funded from other sources available to
the City.
A portion of the City's net position, 14 percent, is subject to external restrictions, and their use is determined by those
restrictions whether legal or by covenant.
The remaining portion, 5 percent, is not subject to external restrictions, but may be assigned to reserves or other specified
funding needs.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2013
The City’s governmental activities net position increased by $12.5 million, which represents a 5.5 percent increase from the
previous year. The most significant factor in this change was an increase in tax revenues.
Revenue highlights:
Sales tax (including Triple Flip Backfill and Measure S transactions and use tax) increased by $1.9 million, an
8.5 percent increase compared to fiscal year 2012. Automobile sales contributed heavily to this trend. Transient
Occupancy Tax revenues increased by $319 thousand, or 17.1 percent, fueled by lower vacancy rates coupled
with higher room rates when compared to the previous year.
Franchise tax increased by $255 thousand, or 8.3 percent. Revenues in this area were enhanced by a one-time
adjustment of $97 thousand relating to a distribution of funds collected for prior periods.
Miscellaneous general revenues increased by $2.0 million due to one-time payments that included an RDA
loan repayment and other reimbursements totaling $605 thousand, and a legal fee reimbursement of $853
thousand.
Charges for services increased by $3.6 million, or 15.3 percent. These charges included internal charges of
$1.6 million to fund building maintenance, $670 thousand for vehicle and equipment replacement, and $700
thousand for technology replacement, as well as $669 thousand in external, community development-related
charges.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF INDIVIDUAL FUNDS
Governmental Funds
Fund Balance Classifications
In February 2009, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 54 (GASB 54), “Fund Balance
Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions.” The objective of GASB 54 was to enhance the usefulness of fund
balance information by providing clearer fund balance classifications that can be applied. Under GASB 54, fund balances are
classified in five categories: nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned based on hierarchy of constraint.
Further details on fund balance classifications can be found in Note 8B.

CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2013
The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of
spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financial capacity. In particular, unassigned fund
balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $39.6
million, an increase of $8.8 million from the prior year; $0.6 million is nonspendable, $20.8 million is restricted, $9.2 million
is committed, and $9.0 million is assigned.
General Fund – The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the city.
General Fund – The fund balance of the General Fund as of June 30, 2013 was $3.8 million, a $1.0 million increase
from the prior year; $527 thousand is nonspendable, $801 thousand is committed, and $2.5 million is assigned. The
assigned portion of the balance includes $2.3 million for emergency and cash flow needs.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights:
The original, adopted General Fund budget projected total revenue of $56.1 million and transfers in of $1.5 million for total
resources of $57.6 million. This budget appropriated expenditures of $56.2 million and transfers out of $1.4 million, for a
total of $57.6 million.
Actual revenues, at $60.0 million, exceeded the original budgeted revenues by $3.9 million. This positive performance was
driven by tax revenues (property tax, sales tax, transient occupancy tax) and payments from the Successor Agency for
obligations due to the general fund from the former Redevelopment Agency. In addition, actual transfers in of $3.1 million
exceeded budgeted transfers in by $1.6 million, primarily as a result of $1.5 million released from the general liability reserve
following a positive outcome from litigation.
Of the $5.5 million in additional resources, $4.5 million was allocated via additional appropriations during the year to support
long-term capital infrastructure, building repair and maintenance, technology, and unfunded retirement-related liabilities. The
remaining $1.0 million was added to the emergency and cash flow reserve.

Gas Tax Fund – The City established this fund to manage its allocation of State gasoline taxes and local funding for street
maintenance projects. At June 30, 2013, the Gas Tax fund had a total fund balance of $6.1 million of which $3.9 million is
committed for construction projects approved by the City Council.

Equipment Replacement Fund – The City established this capital project fund to manage the replacement of vehicles and
equipment. At June 30, 2013, the Equipment Replacement fund had a total fund balance of $5.1 million.
Non-major Governmental Funds – The City’s non-major funds are presented in the basic financial statements in the
aggregate. At June 30, 2013, non-major funds had a total fund balance of $12.2 million of which 52.5 percent ($6.4 million)
is legally restricted for specific purposes by external funding source providers and 35.3 percent ($4.3 million) is committed
for special purposes by the City Council. More information about these aggregated non-major funds can be found in the
combining statements which immediately follow the required supplementary information.
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 proprietary fund net position increased by
$26 thousand reflecting net operating results in the Parking Services fund.
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, 2013 amounts to
$210.1 million, net of accumulated depreciation of $142.5 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 $4.8
million, offset by accumulated depreciation of $7.4 million , thereby equaling a net decrease of $2.6 million.
Major capital asset additions during the current fiscal year included work in process such as Mahon Creek Path-Transit
Center Connector, Pt. San Pedro Median Landscaping, Canal Lifeline Phase II, and Grand Ave. Pedestrian Bicycle (Bay
Trail).

ECONOMIC CLIMATE AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGET
The nation is finally emerging from the longest, deepest recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Beacon
Economics is expecting the U.S. economy to grow by 3 percent through 2013, with continued lowering of the unemployment
rate. This optimism is partly driven by a resurgent housing market. Overall, the national economy is on the mend, but there
are many longer-term issues the nation must address, including working through changes to the national healthcare system,
long-term underemployment and unemployment, and resolving fundamental issues related to underfunded federal
entitlements and state and local pensions.
California is likewise headed down the road toward economic recovery. Slightly more than half of the jobs lost during the
downturn have been recovered, and almost every major indicator is showing improvement. Real estate has been one of the
major shifts in California’s economy over the past 12 months – transitioning from being a drag on the recovery to becoming a
driver of growth in the state, with the median price of an existing single-family home up 26 percent. Unlike many states that
were hit hard by the mortgage market crash, California continues to maintain one of the lowest overall housing vacancy rates
in the nation – a positive sign for future homebuilding. In addition, tourism continues to be a force to be reckoned with in
California. With over 70 percent occupancy entering fiscal year 2013-2014, California’s hotel occupancy rate well exceeds
the 62 percent occupancy rate nationwide.
The instability of the State budget continues to be a threat to local governments. However, the State’s fiscal year 2013-2014
budget reflects a significant improvement in the State’s finances due, according to the State Legislative Analyst’s Office
(LAO), “to the economic recovery, prior budgetary restraint, and voters’ approval of temporary tax increases.” The LAO
believes the State has reached a point where its underlying expenditures and revenues are roughly in balance. There are still
significant risks to revenue estimates given uncertainty surrounding federal fiscal policy and the volatility inherent in the
State’s revenue system. The State will still have no sizable reserve at the end of fiscal year 2016-2017, and will not have
begun the process of addressing high unfunded liabilities associated with the teachers’ retirement system and State retiree
health benefits.
With the exception of some continuing employee concessions, the City’s general fund budget for fiscal year 2013-2014
marks the first year in over a decade that short-term strategies (e.g., one-time reductions in contributions to capital
replacement funds, delayed hiring, uses of reserves and borrowed funds, etc.) have not been employed to balance the
budget.
The projected trends for sales tax and transactions and use tax (Measure S), which combined represent the City’s biggest tax
revenue generators, are for continued growth. For fiscal year 2013-2014, sales tax is projected to increase by 6.5 percent and
transactions and use tax (Measure S) is projected to increase by about 5 percent.
The City’s second largest tax generator is property tax. The City is expecting the fiscal year 2013-2014 tax roll to increase by
approximately three percent over the previous year. This is the first increase of more than one percent in the secured tax rolls
for more than five years.
The City’s largest expenditure relates to personnel costs. Salaries and benefits are tied to the labor agreements with each
bargaining group. Most labor units are on a one-year contract that expires on June 30, 2014. The exception is SEIU, which
has a two-year agreement that expires on June 30, 2015.

CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
STATEMENT OF NET POSITION AND
STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities summarize the entire City’s financial
activities and financial position. They are also referred to as Government-wide financial statements.
The Statement of Net Position reports the difference between the City’s total assets and the City’s total
liabilities, including all the City’s capital assets and all its long-term debt. The Statement of Net Position
focuses the reader on the composition of the City’s net position, by subtracting total liabilities from total
assets.
The Statement of Net Position summarizes the financial position of all of the City’s Governmental
Activities in a single column, and the financial position of all the City’s Business-type Activities in a single
column; these columns are followed by a total column which presents the financial position of the entire
City.
The City’s Governmental Activities include the activities of its General Fund, along with all its Special
Revenue, Capital Projects and Debt Service Funds. Since the City’s Internal Service Funds service these
Funds, their activities are consolidated with Governmental Activities, after eliminating inter-fund
transactions and balances. The City’s Business-type Activities include all its Enterprise Fund activities.
The Statement of Activities reports increases and decreases in the City’s net position. It is also prepared on
the full accrual basis, which means it includes all the City’s revenues and all its expenses, regardless of
when cash changes hands. This differs from the “modified accrual” basis used in the Fund financial
statements, which reflect only current assets, current liabilities, available revenues and measurable
expenditures.
The Statement of Activities presents the City’s expenses first, listed by program, and follows these with
the expenses of its business-type activities. Program revenues - that is, revenues which are generated
directly by these programs - are then deducted from program expenses to arrive at the net expense of each
governmental and Business-type program. The City’s general revenues are then listed in the
Governmental Activities or Business-type Activities column, as appropriate, and the Change in Net
Position is computed and reconciled with the Statement of Net Position.
Both these Statements include the financial activities of the City and the San Rafael Joint Powers
Financing Authority which are legally separate but are considered to be component units of the City
because they are controlled by the City, which is financially accountable for their activities. The balances
and the activities of the San Rafael Sanitation District, a discretely presented component unit, are
included in these statements in a separate column.

Amounts reported for Governmental Activities in the Statement of Activities are

Capital Assets Transactions
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the Statement of Activities the cost of
those assets is capitalized and allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense.
Capital outlay and capital projects expenditures are therefore added back to fund balance 9,294,174

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended June 30, 2013
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Description of the Financial Reporting Entity
As required by generally accepted accounting principles, the financial statements present the City of
San Rafael (the City) as the Primary Government, with its component units for which the City is
considered financially accountable. The component units discussed below are included in the City's
reporting entity because of the significance of their operational and financial relationships with the
City.
B. Description of Blended Component Units
The accompanying basic financial statements include all funds and boards and commissions that
are controlled by the City Council. The basic financial statements include the City’s blended
component units, entities for which the City is considered to be financially accountable. A
blended component unit, although a legally separate entity, is in substance, part of the City’s
operations and so data from this entity is combined with the City. The City’s blended component
units are described below.
San Rafael Joint Powers Financing Authority – The San Rafael Joint Powers Financing Authority
(Authority) was formed by the City of San Rafael and the former San Rafael Redevelopment
Agency (Agency) pursuant to Articles 1 and 2 of Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the
Government Code of the State of California for the purpose of assisting in the financing and
refinancing of certain assessment district and redevelopment-related activities in the City. On March
18, 2013, the Agency was replaced by the California Municipal Finance Authority (CMFA) in order
that the life of the Authority would extend beyond that of the Agency. The Authority is administered
by a governing board whose members are the City Council of the City of San Rafael.
As of June 30, 2013, the Authority had no assets or liabilities to report. For the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2013, the Authority had no revenues or expenditures to report. Separate financial
statements are not prepared for the Authority.
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 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 basic financial statements which includes the District’s assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses,
results of operations and cash flows. The District’s fiscal year ends on June 30 and its separately
issued component unit financial statements can be obtained at the San Rafael Sanitation District, 111
Morphew Street, San Rafael, California 94901.

CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended June 30, 2013
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
D. Basis of Presentation
Government-wide Statements - The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities
display information about the primary government (the City) and its component units. These
statements include the financial activities of the overall City government, except for fiduciary
activities. Interfund transfers and amounts owed between funds within the primary government
have been eliminated from the statements. Amounts representing interfund services and uses
remain in the statements. These statements distinguish between the governmental and business-
type activities of the City. Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes,
intergovernmental revenues, and other nonexchange transactions. Business-type activities are
financed in whole or in part by fees charged to external parties.
The Statement of Activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program
revenues for each segment of the business-type activities of the City and for each function of the
City’s governmental activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a
program or function. Program revenues include (a) charges paid by the recipients of goods or
services offered by the programs, (b) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the
operational needs of a particular program and (c) fees, grants and contributions that are restricted
to financing the acquisition or construction of capital assets. Revenues that are not classified as
program revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues.
Fund Financial Statements - The fund financial statements provide information about the City’s
funds, including fiduciary funds and blended component units. Separate statements for each fund
category – governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary – are presented. The emphasis of fund
financial statements is on major individual governmental and enterprise funds, each of which is
displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental and enterprise funds are aggregated
and reported as non-major funds.
Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange
transactions associated with the principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in
which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values. Nonoperating revenues, such as
subsidies and investment earnings, result from nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities.
E. Major Funds and Other Reported Funds
Major funds are defined as funds that have either assets, liabilities, revenues or
expenditures/expenses equal to ten percent of their fund-type total and five percent of the grand
total. The General Fund is always a major fund. The City may also select other funds it believes
should be presented as major funds.
The City reported the following major governmental funds in the accompanying financial
statements:
General Fund – Established to account for all financial resources necessary to carry out basic
governmental activities of the City which are not accounted for in another fund.
Traffic and Housing Mitigation Special Revenue Fund – Established to maintain long-term
developer contributions for major housing and street improvement projects.

CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended June 30, 2013
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Gas Tax Special Revenue Fund - Established to receive and expend the City’s allocation of the
State gasoline taxes.
Equipment Replacement Capital Projects Fund – Established to provide for the replacement
of vehicles and equipment.
The City reported its only enterprise fund as a major fund in the accompanying financial
statements. The enterprise fund is:
Parking Services Fund – Established to maintain parking garages, lots and spaces in the
Downtown Parking District, and to pay for parking enforcement, meter collection, and downtown
enforcement services.
The City also reports the following fund types:
Internal Service Funds - These funds account for: building maintenance, employee benefits,
liability insurance, workers’ compensation, dental insurance, pension plan reserve, and retiree
health (OPEB).
Fiduciary Fund – These funds include: Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency Private-
Purpose Trust Fund – which accounts for the accumulation of resources held by the Successor
Agency to the Redevelopment Agency to be used for payments at appropriate amounts and times
in the future; Pt. San Pedro Road Assessment District Agency Fund – which accumulates funds
for the payment of principal and interest for Pt. San Pedro Road Median Landscaping District
bonds. The financial activities of these funds are excluded from the government-wide financial
statements, but are presented in the separate Fiduciary Fund financial statements.
F. Basis of Accounting
The government-wide, proprietary, fiduciary and discretely presented component unit financial
statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the full accrual
basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time
liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place. Fiduciary funds are
custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not involve measurement of results of
operations.
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-term
debt, claims and judgments, and compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to
the extent they have matured. General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in
governmental funds. Proceeds from long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are
reported as other financing sources.
43
CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended June 30, 2013
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Those revenues susceptible to accrual are property and sales taxes, certain intergovernmental
revenues, interest revenue, charges for services, fines and forfeitures. Other receipts and taxes
are recognized as revenue when the cash is received.
Non-exchange transactions, in which the City gives or receives value without directly, receiving
or giving equal value in exchange, include taxes, grants, entitlements, and donations. On the
accrual basis, revenue from taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied or
assessed. Revenue from grants, entitlements, and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in
which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Under the terms of grant agreements, the
City may fund certain programs with a combination of cost-reimbursement grants, categorical
block grants, and general revenue. Thus, both restricted and unrestricted net position may be
made available to finance program expenditures. The City’s policy is to first apply restricted
grant resources to such programs, followed by general revenues if necessary.
The City considers restricted shared state revenues such as gasoline taxes and public safety sales
taxes, restricted locally imposed transportation sales taxes, fines, forfeitures, licenses, permits,
charges for services, and program grants as program revenues.
Certain indirect costs are included in program expenses reported for individual functions and
activities.
G. Budgets, Budgetary Accounting, and Encumbrances
The City adopts an annual budget which is effective July 1 for the ensuing fiscal year. The budget
reflects estimated revenues and expenditures, except for the Grants Special Revenue Fund, capital
projects funds and the Peacock Gap Assessment District Debt Service Fund. Appropriations and
spending authorizations for projects in the capital projects funds and some special revenue funds
are approved by the City Council on a multi-year basis. From the effective date of the budget,
which is adopted at the department level, the amounts stated therein as proposed expenditures
become appropriations to the various City departments. The City Council may amend the budget
by resolution during the fiscal year in order to respond to emerging needs, changes in resources, or
shifting priorities. Expenditures may not exceed appropriations at the fund level, which is the legal
level of control. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between accounts,
departments or funds; the Council must approve any increase in the City’s operating expenditures
as well as any appropriations for capital projects.
Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for the
General Fund and Special Revenue Funds.

CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended June 30, 2013
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders for expenditures are recorded in order to
reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is employed as an extension of the budgetary
process. 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.
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.
I. Capital Assets
All capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost
is not available. Contributed capital assets are valued at their estimated fair market value on the
date contributed.
The City has included the value of all infrastructure capital assets into its Basic Financial
Statements using the Basic Approach for infrastructure reporting.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
Interest incurred during the construction phase is reflected in the capitalized value of the asset
constructed, net of interest earned on the invested proceeds over the same period.
Capital assets, excluding infrastructure, are recorded if acquisition or construction costs exceeds
$5,000. The similar threshold for infrastructure is $25,000.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method which means the cost of the asset is divided
by its expected useful life in years and the result is charged to expense each year until the asset is
fully depreciated. The purpose of depreciation is to spread the cost of capital assets equitably
among all users over the life of these assets. The amount charged to depreciation expense each year
represents that year’s pro rata share of the cost of capital assets.
The City has assigned the useful lives listed below to capital assets:
Buildings, improvements, and structures 20 – 50 years
Machinery and equipment 4 – 20 years
Infrastructure 15 – 50 years

J. Compensated Absences
Compensated absences are accrued as earned. Upon termination, employees are paid for all unused
vacation at their current hourly rates. Unused sick leave may be compensable up to 600 hours,
depending upon the provisions of the MOUs, which vary by bargaining unit.
The long-term portion of the liability for compensated absences for governmental fund type
operations is recorded as compensated absences in the government-wide financial statements.
Compensated absences are liquidated by the fund that has recorded the liability. Proprietary fund
liabilities are recorded within their respective funds. The long-term portion of governmental
activities compensated absences is liquidated primarily by the General Fund.
The changes of the compensated absences were as follows:
Governmental Business-Type
Activities Activities Total
Beginning Balance $4,375,203 $86,033 $4,461,236
Additions 3,389,844 134,534 3,524,378
Payments (3,497,166) (111,653) (3,608,819)
Ending Balance $4,267,881 $108,914 $4,376,795
Current Portion $533,485 $13,614 $547,099
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 1 (April 10)
46
CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended June 30, 2013
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
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
(GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent asset and liabilities at the dates of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting
periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
M. New Funds
The Measure A Open Space Special Revenue Fund was established to account for the use of
proceeds distributed by the County of Marin from Measure A, as well as other supplementary
matching or City-finding for the operation or maintenance of open space, park or recreation
lands.
The Pt. San Pedro Road Assessment District Agency Fund was established to accumulate funds
for payment of principal and interest for Pt. San Pedro Road Median Landscaping Assessment
District bonds.
NOTE 2 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS
The City’s goal is to invest at the maximum yield, consistent with safety and liquidity.
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 entry system. In order to
increase security, the City employs the Trust Department of a bank as the custodian of certain City
managed investments, regardless of their form.
California Law requires banks and savings and loan institutions to pledge government securities
with a market value of 110% of the City’s cash on deposit, or first trust deed mortgage notes with a
market value of 150% of the deposit, as collateral for these deposits. Under California Law this
collateral is held in a separate investment pool by another institution in the City’s name and places
the City ahead of general creditors of the institution.

NOTE 2 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS (Continued)
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.
B. Classification
Cash and investments as of June 30, 2013, are classified in the financial statements as shown
below, based on whether or not their use is restricted under the terms of City debt instruments or
agency agreements.

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:

The City is a participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by
California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of
California. The City reports its investment in LAIF at the fair value amount provided by LAIF,
which is the same as the value of the pool share. The balance is available for withdrawal on
demand, and is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an
amortized cost basis. Included in LAIF’s investment portfolio are collateralized mortgage
obligations, mortgage-backed securities, other asset-backed securities, loans to certain state
funds, and floating rate securities issued by federal agencies, government-sponsored enterprises,
United States Treasury Notes and Bills, and corporations. At June 30, 2013, these investments
matured in an average of 278 days.

Net Position is the excess of all the City’s assets and deferred outflow over all its liabilities, and
deferred inflows regardless of fund. Net Position are divided into three captions. These captions
apply only to Net Position, which is determined only at the Government-wide level and business type
activity and are described below:
Net Investment in Capital Assets describes the portion of Net Position 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 Position 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.
Unrestricted describes the portion of Net Position which is not restricted to use.

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

NOTE 9 – EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT PLAN
A. Plan Description
The City’s retirement plan is administered by 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 a multiple-employer retirement system governed by the 1937 Act of the California
Government Code. The Association acts as a common administrative and investment agent for defined
benefit retirement plan 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. Copies of the Association’s annual financial reports,
which include required supplementary information for each plan may be obtained from the Marin
County Employees’ Retirement Association, One McInnis Parkway, Suite 100, 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 plan benefits when due. The City
contributed 65.82% and 66.64% of payroll for Police and Fire personnel, respectively, and 44.13% for
other covered employees for the year ended June 30, 2013.
C. Annual Pension Cost
The annual required contribution was determined as part of the actuarial valuation performed as of
June 30, 2012. The employer rates for normal cost are determined using the Entry Age Normal
Actuarial 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 2012 actuarial valuation
include an assumed rate of return on invested assets of 7.50%, annual payroll increases reflecting
3.25% for inflation and an approximate range of 0.50% to 5.00% for merit and longevity. The actual
rate of return on investments was a gain of 1.6%. 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 uses a 17-year level percentage, open method to amortize the
unfunded actuarial liability. It is assumed that payroll will increase at an annual inflation rate of 3.25%
over the amortization period. The City uses the actuarially determined percentages of payroll to
calculate and pay contributions to the Association. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, the City
made an additional contribution of $1,000,000. The required contributions and related rates for the year
ended June 30 were as follows:
Fiscal Year Annual Percentage of Net
Ended Pension Cost APC Pension
June 30 (APC) Contributed Obligation (Asset)
2011 $15,409,519 100% $0

NOTE 10 - PUBLIC AGENCY RETIREMENT SYSTEM (DEFINED CONTRIBUTION
RETIREMENT PLANS)
The City contributes to the Public Agency Retirement System (PARS), which administers a defined
contribution retirement plan. A defined contribution retirement plan provides retirement benefits in
return for services rendered, provides an individual account for each participant, and specifies how
contributions to the individual’s accounts are determined instead of specifying the amount of benefits
the individual is to receive. The benefits a participant will receive depend on the amount contributed
to the participant’s account, and the returns earned on investments on those contributions. The Plan’s
trust administrator is Phase II, P.O. Box 12919, Newport Beach, California 92658.
As established by the plan, all eligible part-time and temporary employees of the City become
participants in the plan from the date that they are hired. An eligible employee is any employee who,
at any time during which the employer maintains this plan, is not accruing a benefit under the Marin
County Employees’ Retirement Fund.
As determined by the plan, each employee must contribute 3.75% of gross earnings to the plan. The
City contributes an additional 3.75% of the employee’s gross earnings. Contributions made by an
employee and the employer vest immediately.
During the year, the City and employees each contributed $66,909. The total covered payroll of
employees participating in the plan for the year ended June 30, 2013, was $1,784,229. The total payroll
for the year was $35,326,393.

RETIREMENT PLANS) (Continued)
Additionally, the City participates in a 401(a) tax qualified plan for eligible executive management and
mid-management employees, and elected officials. This is an employer only contribution program
separate from the Marin County Employees’ Retirement Association. Under this plan, the percent
amount of contribution is 3% of base salary of eligible employees. During the year, the City
contributed $123,704 to the plan on behalf of the eligible employees.
NOTE 11 – 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. Employees who meet the vesting criteria become eligible for these benefits if they
receive a retirement benefit from the Marin County Employees’ Retirement Association within 120
days of retirement from City employment. At June 30, 2013, 324 retirees and surviving spouses
received post-employment health care benefits.
The provisions and benefits of the City’s Other Post Employment Benefit Plan, in effect at June 30,
2013, are summarized as follows:

Funding Policy and Actuarial Assumptions
The City’s funding policy requires a minimum annual contribution equivalent to the annual required
contribution (ARC).
The ARC was determined as part of a June 30, 2011 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) 4.25% investment rate of return and (b) 3.25% of general inflation increase,
and (c) a healthcare trend of declining annual increases ranging from 9.40% in 2013 to 5.00% for
years starting 2021. In addition, the fixed dollar benefit amounts are assumed to be held flat in the
future and the premium related benefits are assumed to increase with the healthcare trend rate.

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended June 30, 2013
NOTE 11 – POST-EMPLOYMENT HEALTH CARE BENEFITS (Continued)
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as
understood by the City and the plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time
of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing benefit costs between the City and plan
members at that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that smooth
the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets.
Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term perspective and actuarial valuations involve estimates of the
value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of events far into the future.
Actuarially determined amounts are subject to revision at least biennially as results are compared to
past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The City’s OPEB unfunded actuarial
accrued liability is being amortized as a level percentage of projected payroll using a 23-year fixed
(closed) period for June 30, 2012.

Generally accepted accounting principles permit assets to be treated as OPEB assets and deducted
from the Actuarial Accrued Liability when such assets are placed in an irrevocable trust or equivalent
arrangement. Contributions to a 401(h) account held and administered by the MCERA were made by
the City in prior years and were included in the June 30, 2011, actuarial valuation. The balance in this
account was recorded as an asset on the City’s government-wide statements. On June 25, 2013, the
401(h) account balance of $12,027,705 was transferred to an irrevocable trust under the California
Employers’ Retiree Benefit Trust Fund (CERBT) managed by CalPERS. This amount is treated as a
contribution toward the Net OPEB Obligation (Asset). As of June 30, 2013, the account balance in
the CERBT was $12,665,652.

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, these entities exercise
full powers and authorities within the scope of the related Joint Powers Agreements including the
preparation of annual budgets, accountability for all funds, the power to make and execute contracts
and the right to sue and be sued. Each 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 purpose of CJPRMA is to spread the adverse
effects of general liability losses among the member agencies. The City also purchases commercial
insurance for property damage claims with an insured amount of $99,236,049. The City is self-
insured up to $500,000 for each general liability claim and $25,000 for each property damage claim.
Once the self-insured retention is met CJPRMA becomes responsible for payment of all liability
claims up to the limit. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, the City contributed $191,896 for
coverage during the current year and received a refund of $101,040 of prior year excess
contributions. Five years after settlement of all claims for a program year, CJPRMA retroactively
adjusts premium deposits for any excess or deficiency in deposits related to paid claims and reserves.
CJPRMA refunds excess contributions to members from time to time, based on the results of
actuarial studies of each program year’s claims experience. Financial statements for the risk pools
may be obtained from CJPRMA at 3201 Doolan Road, Suite 285, Livermore, California 94551.

Workers’ Compensation Coverage
The City purchases insurance for workers’ compensation through Safety National Casualty Corporation
Excess Workers’ Compensation and Employers Liability Insurance with coverage up to statutory limits.
The City is self-insured up to $750,000 for each worker’s compensation claim.
B. Insurance Internal Service Funds and Financial Reporting
The City records estimated liabilities for claims filed up to the amounts for which it retains risk in the
General Liability and Workers Compensation Internal Service Funds. Charges to the General Fund
and other funds are based on relative general liability and workers compensation risk associated with
the activities of each fund. Charges are recorded in the funds as expenditures or expenses and as
revenues in the respective internal service funds.
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) requires municipalities to record their
liability for uninsured claims and to reflect the current portion of this liability as an expenditure in
their financial statements. As discussed above, the City has coverage for such claims, but it has
retained the risk for the deductible or uninsured portion of these claims.
The City’s liability for uninsured general liability claims and workers’ compensation claims,
including claims incurred but not reported, are reported in the Statements of Net Position. The
liability is based on an actuarial valuation prepared as of June 30, 2012:

Litigation
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.
In 2004, the City of San Rafael entered into a Settlement Agreement with the federal Department of
Justice to bring City managed programs, activities, services and facilities into compliance with the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The City has made significant progress over the past eight
years and is in the process of completing the few remaining projects identified in the Settlement
Agreement.
Among those projects is the construction of 800 curb ramps throughout San Rafael. As of June 30,

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

B. Due Diligence and Other Required Reviews
Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund Due Diligence Review
Pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 34179.6 (c), the City of San Rafael Successor Agency
(Agency) submitted an Oversight Board approved Low and Moderate Income Housing Due
Diligence Review to the California Department of Finance (DOF) on October 15, 2012. In
November 2012, the DOF sent correspondence to the City questioning a transfer of $1,371,751 for
cash and investment transfers made. The City contended that the transfers were lawfully made and
requested a meet-and-confer session. Following this meeting, the DOF upheld its position and
demanded payment of $1,371,751. The full payment was made from the Low and Moderate
Income Housing Fund to the Marin County Auditor Controller on December 19, 2012. The Auditor
Controller has indicated the housing funds have been distributed to the taxing entities.
Non-Housing Funds Due Diligence Review
Pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 34179.6(c), the City of San Rafael Successor Agency
submitted an Oversight Board approved Non-Housing Funds Due Diligence Review to the
California Department of Finance (DOF) on February 26, 2013. As of the end of the 45-day review
period, there was no requirement to pay funds from the Non-Housing funds.
State Asset Transfer Review
Pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 34167.5, the State Controller’s Office is required to
review the records of the former redevelopment agency for asset transfers that took place after
January 1, 2011, between the city or county, or city and county that created a redevelopment
agency, or any other public agency, and the redevelopment agency through its termination on
January 31, 2012. The State Controller’s Office is required to order that such assets, except those
that already had been committed to a third party prior to June 28, 2011, the effective date of ABx1
26, be turned over to the Successor Agency. The State Controller’s Office completed this review
on May 17, 2013, and issued its report on July 29, 2013. The report resulted in no action required
by the City of San Rafael Successor Agency.

C. Long-Term Debt
1999 Tax Allocation Bonds and Capital Appreciation Bonds
On June 16, 1999, the former Agency issued Tax Allocation Bonds in the amount of $23,504,004.
The bonds were issued as Current Interest Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $21,115,000
and as Capital Appreciation Bonds in the original amount of $2,389,004. The proceeds of the bonds
were used to finance certain redevelopment activities of benefit to the former Agency’s Central San
Rafael Redevelopment Project Area.
In December, 2009 of the former Agency exercised the redemption option of the Current Interest
Bonds. The outstanding balance of the Bonds was refunded, on a current basis, through the issuance
of the 2009 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds as discussed below.
The Capital Appreciation Bonds mature annually after December 1 from 2018 to 2022, in amounts
ranging from $1,440,000 to $2,070,000 and bear interest at rates from 5.58% to 5.60%. Interest on
the Capital Appreciation Bonds will compound on each interest premium date and will be payable
solely at maturity. The bonds are secured, on parity with the 1992 and 1995 bonds (refunded in
2002), by a pledge and a lien on tax revenues and amounts on deposit in certain funds and accounts
held by the fiscal agent.
2002 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds
On October 9, 2002, the former Agency issued Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds in the amount of
$25,020,000. The proceeds of the bonds were used to refund the 1992 Tax Allocation Refunding
Bonds and the 1995 Tax Allocation Bonds. The Bonds mature annually each December 1 from 2002
to 2022, in amounts ranging from $540,000 to $1,920,000 and bear interest at rates ranging from
2.00% to 5.25%. Interest is payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1. The Bonds maturing
on or after December 1, 2013, are subject to optional redemption prior to maturity, in whole or in
part, and by lot within any one maturity, prior to their respective maturity dates, on any date on or
after December 1, 2012, at a price equal to the principal amount, plus accrued interest on the
redemption date. The bonds are payable from tax revenues to be derived from the redevelopment
activities of the former Agency related to the Central San Rafael Redevelopment Project Area.

On December 14, 2009, the former Agency issued 2009 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds in the
amount of $14,660,000 bearing interest at rates from 3.00% to 5.00%. The proceeds of the Series
2009 Bonds were used to refund the former Agency’s 1999 Tax Allocation Current Interest Bonds, to
advance funds to the City to finance street and parking improvements for the benefit of the Agency’s
Central San Rafael Redevelopment Project. Principal payments are due annually on December 30
and interest payable semiannually on June 30 and December 30.

D. Other Long-Term Obligations
During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013, the San Rafael Successor Agency Oversight Board
approved two personnel-related obligations of the former Redevelopment Agency. On August 30, 2012,
the Oversight Board approved the inclusion of $1,904,431, representing the unfunded pension liability
attributable to former Redevelopment Agency employees; the repayment is being made in ten equal,
annual installments. On January 22, 2013, the Oversight Board approved the inclusion of $502,000,
representing the unfunded OPEB (retiree medical) liability attributable to former Redevelopment Agency
employees; the repayment is being made in nine equal, annual installments.
The following table summarizes the activity for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013:
Approved Balance Balance
Amount June 30, 2012 Additions Retirements June 30, 2013
Unfunded Pension Liability $1,904,431 $1,904,431 $190,443 $1,713,988

Total Long Term Obligations $2,406,431 $246,221 $2,160,210
E. Commitment and Contingencies
State Approval of Enforceable Obligation
The Successor Agency prepares a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) semi-annually
that contains all proposed expenditures for the subsequent six-month period. The ROPS is subject to
the review and approval of the Oversight Board as well as the State Department of Finance. As of
June 30, 2013, the Successor Agency had prepared four ROPS, all of which have been approved by
the Oversight Board and the California Department of Finance. The Department of Finance has
stated that all items on a future ROPS are subject to a subsequent review. The amount, if any, of
current obligations that may be denied by the Department of Finance cannot be determined at this
time. The City expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.
Demand for True-Up Payment
Pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 34183.5 (b), Successor Agencies are required to remit a
True-Up Payment representing a calculation of tax increment collected in December 2011 by the
former Redevelopment Agency in excess of the enforceable obligations, as approved by the County
Auditor/Controller. On July 9, 2012 the Successor Agency received a Demand from the County
Auditor/Controller that had calculated a True-Up Payment of $1,731,446. Management reviewed the
calculation and believes it is inaccurate. Management’s calculation of the True-Up Payment
amounted to $148,589 and on July 12, 2012 the Successor Agency remitted that amount to the
County Auditor/Controller. The remaining unpaid balance of the Demand has not been recorded in
the accompanying financial statements as management believes its calculation is accurate.
The California State Attorney General’s Office has been in contact with the Successor Agency to
inform the Successor Agency of the litigation process that will resolve the issue in the amount paid on
July 12, 2012. The City anticipates proceeding with this process during fiscal year 2013-2014.

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.
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.
