BACKGROUND: The firm of Cropper Accountancy Corporation, Certified Public
Accountants, has completed its examination of the District's financial statements for the
Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2011, and has submitted the audited financial statements
and auditor's opinion thereon.
In the performance of their examination of the financial statements, the auditors
evaluate the District's internal accounting controls to determine the nature and extent of
the auditing procedures required. Based on their observations during the course of the
examination, the auditors are to advise District management of any significant
deficiencies or material misstatements and any recommendations to improve the
system of internal accounting controls. There were no recommendations for
improvements in internal controls this year. There was one recommended audit entry
to reverse a revenue accrual in the Capital Fund which reduces total Capital Revenue
by $600,000.
The audited financial statements were reviewed in detail by John Cropper from Cropper
Accountancy Corporation at the Budget and Finance Committee meeting on October 3,
2011. A copy of the audited financial statements has been received by the Board under
separate cover.

subject. RECEIVE AND ACCEPT THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR
THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2011, AND APPROVE EXTENDING THE
CONTRACT WITH CROPPER ACCOUNTANCY CORPORATION FOR A SIXTH
YEAR
In accordance with Government Code Section 53891, information from the audit will be
used to prepare a report to the State Controller's office. The report will be sent
electronically by the annual deadline of October 18, 2011. The audited financial
statements are also sent to the County Auditor - Controller, Contra Costa County Board
of Supervisors, and the Bond Rating Agencies.
The original contract with Cropper Accountancy Corporation was for a four year term
with an optional fifth year. Last year staff recommended an extension of the contract
with Cropper Accountancy Corporation for a fifth year. Again this year, staff
recommends extending the contract for a sixth year to maintain continuity due to
potential staff turnover next year. This recommendation was discussed with the Budget
and Finance Committee on October 3,.2011 and they concurred. The Board is being
asked to consider and take action to extend the contract for one year.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: The Board is being asked to take two separate
actions:
1) Receive and accept the audited financial statements for the Fiscal Year
ended June 30, 2011 and
2) Extend the contract for audit services with Cropper Accountancy
Corporation for a sixth year through November 30, 2012.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District as of
and for the year ended time 30, 2011, as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the

evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion; the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District as of June 30, 2011, and the changes in
financial position and cash flows thereof for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, as well as accounting systems prescribed by the
California State Controller's office for Special Districts.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management's
Discussion and Ana /vsis be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information,
although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Govemmental 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 assurance.,

11IANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
This section of the District's annual financial report presents an analysis of the District's financial
performance during the fiscal year ended June 30; 2011. This information is presented in conjunction
with the audited financial statements, which follow this report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The District's 2010 -11 financial highlights are listed below. These results are discussed in more detail
later in the repots.
• The District's total ending net assets increased by $1.3 million or 0.22% in 2010 -11 when
compared to fiscal year 2009 -10; when comparing 2010 -11 to 2008 -09, net assets have increased
by $11.1 million or 1.82 %. This is mainly due to capital project asset additions.
• Total revenues in 2010 -11 increased by $02 million or 0.33% when compared to 2009 -10, when
comparing 2010 -11 to 2008 -09, total revenue has increased by $5.0 million or 7.26 %. Although
there was no Sewer Service Charge (SSC) rate increase in 2009 -10 and 2010 -11, a larger portion
of the internal SSC allocation was shifted from Capital Contributions to Operating Revenue.
• Total 2010 -11 expenses increased by $2.0 million or 2.55% compared to 2009 -10; when
comparing 2010 -11 to 2008 -09, total expenses increased by $2.6 million or 3.28 %. This is
mainly due to higher cost of labor and benefits.
• Capital Contributions were significantly lower in 2010 -11 compared to 2009 -10 and 2008 -09.
Capital Contributions decreased by $6.6 million or - 42.29% comparing 2010 -11 to 2009 -10.
When comparing 2010 -11 to 2008 -09, Capital Contributions decreased by $11.1 null ion or
- 55.10 %. This is mainly due to the volatile housing market that resulted in lower connection fees
along with a smaller SSC revenue allocation to Capital Customer Contributions.

The total net assets of the District increased from $611.7 million in 2008 -09 to $621.5 mullion in 2009-
10 and to $622.8 million in 2010 -11. The increase in net assets over the 3 -year period totals $11.1
million and is the result of both net income and capital contributions, $9.8 million in 2009 -10 and $13
million in 2010 -11 (shown in the next table).
By far the largest portion of the District's net assets (86.9% percent) reflects its investment in capital
assets (e.g. land, buildings, machinery, equipment, intangible assets, and sewer line infrastructure), less
any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The District uses these capital
assets to provide services to its ratepayers: consequently, these assets are not available for firhue
spending_ Although the District's investment in its capital assets is reported net of debt; it should be
noted that the fiords needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital
assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. There is currently $4.6 million restricted
for debt service and is higher than in 2008 -09 due to the District refinancing current debt in addition to
raising $30 million in new bond proceeds in 2009 -10. The remaining balance of $76.6 million in
unrestricted net assets may be used to meet the District's ongoing obligations to its ratepayers and
creditors. These unrestricted net assets may also be used for payment of long -tern unfimded liabilities.

In 2010 -11, operating revenues increased by $1.1 million or 1.81 %; however, non - operating revenue
decreased by $0.8 million or -5.62% when comparing 2010 -11 to 2009 -10. The change in total revenue
resulted in a small increase of $0.2 million or .33% when comparing 2010 -11 to 2009 -10. Comparing
2010 -11 to 2008 -09, total revenue has increased by $5.0 million or 7.26 %q, mainly due to the internal
SSC allocation. There was no SSC rate increase nn 2010 -11 and 2009 -10; each year a portion of SSC
revenue is shifted from Capital Contributions to Operating Revenue to cover Operating Expenses.
Property Tax revenue has basically remained flat for the 3 -year period due to small growth to the tax
base, in spite of the sub -prime mortaage crisis and recession. Permit and inspection fees have decreased
in the 3 -year period reflecting the slower housing market. Interest and all other revenue continue to drop,
mainly due to lower investment rates on District investments_
In 2010 -11, total expenses increased by $2.0 million or 2.55% compared to 2009 -10. Comparing 2010-
11 to 2008 -09, total expenses were $2.6 mullion or 3.28% higher. Increases are mainly due to higher
labor and benefit costs offset by plamred cost savings and lower chemical and utility costs. Labor costs
increased due to cost -of- living adjustments, merit increases, filling of vacant positions, and increased
employee benefit costs. Depreciation expense increased due to new capital additions. Non- Operating
Expense is mainly driven by debt service interest expense. Total income before capital contributions
went fi-onn -$10.1 trillion in 2008 -09 to -$6.0 million in 2009 -10 and then increased to $ -7.7 million in
2010 -11.
Capital contributions in 2010 -11 were $9.1 million compared to $15.7 million in 2009 -10 and $20.2
million in 2008 -09_ This was mainly due to less contributed sewer lilies and connection fees due to the
constntction and housing slowdown, except for one large complex connection that was delayed but then
paid early in 2009 -10_ The total change in net assets decreased by $8.7 million or - 86.63% when
comparing 2010 -11 to 2008 -09.
CAPITAL ASSETS
Capital assets include the District's entire major infrastructure including wastewater treatment facilities,
sewers, land, buildings, pturping stations, vehicles, intangible assets and furniture and equipment
exceeding our capitalization policy limit of $5,000, net of depreciation. As of June 30, 2011, the
District's investment in capital assets totaled $593.5 million, which is an increase of $6.7 million or
1.14% over the capital asset balance of $586.8 million at June 30, 2010. Capital Assets increased by
$14.6 million or 2.52% comparing 2010 -11 to 2008 -09. A comparison of the District's capital assets

The major reasons for the increase in capital assets, net of depreciation, of $6.7 nmllion from 2009 -10 to
2010 -11 and $14.6 million from 2008 -09 to 2010 -11, areas follows:
• Treatment plant infrastructure renovations, upgrades, equipment, and improvements increased by
$12.1 million comparing 2010 -11 to 2009 -10 and $19.1 million comparing 2010 -11 to 2008 -09.
• Buildings increased by $10.1 million comparing 2010 -11 to 2009 -10 and $11.3 [trillion
comparing 2010 -11 to 2008 -09. This mainly reflects the Walnut Creek Collection System
Operations new building construction (90% of the cost), along with improvements to the
Household Hazardous Waste Facility and other smaller structures_
• Sewer pipe ongoing renovations, pumping station improvements, and contributed sewer lines
increased by $5.2 million comparing 2010 -11 to 2009 -10 and $21.3 million comparing 2010 -11
to 2008 -09.
• All other asset categories, including constitution in progress, decreased by $4.1 million
comparing 2010-1 1 to 2009 -10 and $2.3 million comparing 2010 -11 to 2008 -09.
• Capital Asset increases are offset by an increased subtraction of accumulated depreciation of
$16.6 million comparing 2010 -11 to 2009 -10 and $34.9 million comparing 2010 -11 to 2008 -09
due to our increasing capital asset investment and its associated depreciation expense.
See Note 4 in the audited financial statements.
DEBT ADMINISTRATION
The District has the following outstanding debt as of June 30, 2011:
Revenue Bonds
Water Reclamation Loan
Total
$ 50,665,000
1,183,583
$ 51,848,583
See Note 6 in the audited financial statements.
ECONOMIC AND OTHER FACTORS
The Federal and State of California economies have failed to recover fully from the 2008 recession. The
housing market is still volatile, which impacts user fees. Changes in the state budget have a significant
impact on the District. Federal and State economic challenges will continue into the future and will
have a pickle -down effect on local governments. Some potential impacts may be:
Continuation of the slow recovery and associated impacts
Employee Memorandum of Understanding contract negotiations; current contracts end as of
April 17, 2012
• Increased cost of employee benefits, mainly pension costs and healthcare
• CmTent and future legislation impacting public employee pensions
• Other Post - Employment benefit required contributions based on actuarial analyses using
lower interest rates
• Possibility of continued reduced new connections and connection fees
• Regulatory requirements becoming more stringent, causing the District to spend more on
compliance, both for operations and maintenance costs and capital projects
• Continued low interest rates negatively impact interest eamings
In addition to making efforts to reduce spending and improve process efficiencies, the District has the
ability to raise the Sewer Service Charge to meet our long -teen commitments. The District has a
Standard and Poors AAA rating, and can obtain bond financing if necessary.

1. DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT AND SIJMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Reomline Entitv
The Central Contra Costa Sanitary District, a special district and a public entity established under the
Sanitary District Act of 1923, provides sewer service for the incorporated and unincorporated areas
under its jurisdiction. A Board of Directors comprised of five elected members governs the District.
As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, these basic
financial statements present the financial statements of Central Contra Costa Sanitary District and its
component trait. The component trait discussed in the following paragraph is blended in the
District's reporting entity because of the significance of its operational or financial relationship with
the District.
Blended Component Unit — Component units are legally separate organizations for which the District
is financially accountable. Component units may also include organizations that are fiscally
dependent on the District, in that the District approves their budget, the issuance of their debt or the
levying of their taxes. In addition, component tints are other legally separate organizations for
which the District is not financially accountable but the nature and significance of the organization's
relationship with the District is such that exclusion would cause the District's financial statements to
be misleading or incomplete. For financial reporting put-poses, the component trait discussed below
is reported in the District's financial statements because of the significance of its relationship with
the District. The component unit, although a legally separate entity, is reported in the financial
statements using the blended presentation method as if it were part of the District's operations
because the Governing Board of the component unit is essentially the same as of governing board of
the District and because its purpose is to finance facilities to be used for the direct benefit of the
District. The Central Contra Costa Sanitary District Facilities Financing Authority was organized
solely for the purpose of providing financial assistance to the District. The authority does this by
acquiring, constructing, improving and financing various facilities, land and equipment purchases,
and by leasing or selling certain facilities, land and equipment for the use, benefit and enjoymeint of
the public served by the District. The Corporation has no members and the Board of Directors of the
Corporation consists of the same persons who are serving as the Board of Directors of the District.
There are no separate basic financial statements prepared for the Corporation.
Basis of Accotuitiva
The District's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The District
applies all applicable GASB pronouncements for certain accounting and financial reporting
guidance. In December of 2010, GASB issued GASBS No. 62, Codification of Accounting and
Financial Reporting Guidance Contained in Pre- November 30, 1989 FASB and AICPA
Pronouncements. This statement incorporates pronouncements issued on or before November 30,
1989 into GASB authoritative literature. This includes pronouncements by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB), Accounting Principles Board Opinions (APB), and the Accounting
Research Bulletins of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' (.AICPA) Conuuittee
on Accounting Procedure, unless those pronouncements conflict with or contradict with GASB
pronouncements.

1. DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT AND SUNDIARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES (continued)
The District is a proprietary entity; it uses an enterprise fund format to report its activities for
financial statement purposes. Enterprise funds are used to account for operations that are financed
and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises, where the intent of the governing
body is that the cost and expenses, including depreciation, of providing goods or services to its
customers be financed or recovered primarily through user charges; or where the governing body has
decided that periodic determination of revenues earned, expense. inured, mid net income is
appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability, or other
purposes.
Enterprise fiends are used to account for activities similar to those in the private sector, where the
proper matching of revenues and costs is important and the Rill accrual basis of accomiting is
required. With this measurement focus, all assets and liabilities of the enterprise are recorded on its
statement of net assets, all revenues are recognized when earned and all expenses, including
depreciation, are recognized when incurred.
Enterprise. fiends distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non- operating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods
in connection with an enterprise fluid's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating
revenues of the District are charges to customers for services. Operating expenses for the District
include the costs of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets.
All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non - operating revenues and
expenses.
For internal operating purposes, the District's Board of Directors has established four separate sub -
funds, each of which includes a separate self - balancing set of accounts and a separate Board
approved budget for revenues and expenses. These sub -fiuids are combined into the single
enterprise fiord presented in the accompanying financial statements. The nature and purpose of these
sub -funds are as follows:
Running Expense
Running expense accounts for the general operations of the District. Substantially all operating
revenues and expenses are accounted for in this sub -fined.
Sewer Constrviction
Sewer construction accounts for non - operating revenues, which are to be used for acquisition or
construction of plant, property and equipment.
Self Insurance
Self insurance accounts for* interest earnings on cash balances in this sub -find and cash
allocations from other sub - funds, as well as for costs of insurance premiums and claims not
covered by the District's insurance coverage.

Debt Service
Debt service accounts for activity associated with the payment of the District's long term bonds
and loans.
That portion of the District's net assets which is allocable to each of these sub -finds has been shown
separately in the accompanying supplementary information to the financial statements.
Tine District's Board of Directors adopts annual budgets oil a basis consistent with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Investments
Investments held at Ame 307 2011, with original maturities greater than one year, are stated at fair
value. Fair value is estimated based on quoted market prices at year -end. All investments not
required to be reported at fair value are stated at cost or amortized cost.
Prepaids
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as
prepaid items in the financial statements.
Bank Escrow Deposit
Ann escrow agreement was formed between the District and the National Park Service for the Right
of Way through the John Muir National Historic Site, in lien of issuing a.perfornance bond. "I1ne
current Right of Way Permit is 10 years, but is renewable and must remain in effect so long as there
is sewerage running through the area; therefore, it is unlikely that the escrow funds will ever be
released to the District. These fiords are listed as restricted cash in the financial statements. See note
2.
Parts and Supplies
Parts and supplies are valued at average cost and are used primarily for internal purposes.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Purchased capital assets are stated at historical cost. Capital assets contributed to the District are
stated at estimated fair value at the time of contribution. The capitalization threshold for capital
assets is $5,000. Expenditures which materially increase the value or life of capital assets are
capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. The term depreciation
includes amortization of intangible assets.

participants are not taxed on the deferred portion of their compensation until it is distributed to them;
distributions may be made only at tennination, retirement, death, or in an emergency as defined by
the Plan. The District does not make contributions to the plan.
The plan's 457 assets are held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the participants and are not
included in the District's financial statements.
The District also contributes to a money purchase plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue
Code section 401(a). Contributions to the plan are made in accordance with a memorandum of
understanding stating that in lieu of making payments to Social Security, the District contributes to
the 401(x) Plan an amount equal to that which would have been contributed to Social Security on
behalf of its employees as long as the District is not required to participate in Social Security. The
assets are held in trust and are not recorded on the books of the District. The District contributed
$1,527,289 to the plan during the year ended June 30, 2011.
Reclassifications
Certain iterns in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to match their presentation
in the current year financial statements.

Contra Costa levies, bills and collects property taxes for the District; all material arnounts are
collected by Jime 30.

1. DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT AND SUAJAIARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES (continued)
General County taxes collected are the same as the amount levied since the County participates in
California's alternative method of apportionment called the Teeter Plan. The Teeter Plan as
provided in Section 4701 at seq. of the State of Revenue and Taxation Code establishes a mechanism
for the county to advance the full amount of property tax and other levies to taxing agencies based
on the tax levy, rather than on the basis of actual tax collections. Although this system is a simpler
method to administer, the County assumes the risk of delinquencies. The County in return retains
the penalties and accrued interest thereon.
Secured Property tax bills are mailed once a year, during the month of October on the current
secured tax roll, to the owner of the property as of the lien date (January 1). Payments can be made
in two installments, and are due on November 1 and February 1. Delinquent accounts are assessed a
penalty of 10 percent. Accounts which remain unpaid on June 30 are charged all additional 1 '/2
percent per month. Unsecured property tax is due on July I and becomes delinquent on August 31 _
The penalty percentage rates are the same as secured property tax.
Compensated Absences
The liability for vested vacation, compensatory time, and sick pay is recorded as an expense when
earned. District employees have a vested interest it 100 percent of accrued vacation time and 85
percent of accrued sick time for employees hied before May 1, 1985. Employees hired after May 1,
1985 have a vested interest in up to 40 percent of their sick time, based upon length of employment
with the District.
In fiscal 2011, accrued compensated absences decreased from $5,724,684 to $5,132,067, or by
$592,617. The current portion of the liability to be used within the next year was estimated by
management to be approximately $515,000 at June 30, 2011. Tire change of $592,617 during fiscal
2011 consists of increases of $486,841 and decreases of $1,079,458.
Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, all highly liquid investments, including restricted assets,
with maturities of three months or less when purchased, are considered to be cash equivalents.
Included therein are petty cash, bank accounts, and the State of California Local Agency Investment
Fund (LAIF). Restricted assets are debt service amounts maintained by fiduciaries and not available
for general expenses.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in confornhity.with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumnptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In March of 2009, GASB issued GASBS No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Gove"inlental Ftmd
Tipe Definitions. This Statement will improve financial reporting by providing fiord balance
categories and classifications that will be more easily understood. Elimination of the reserved
component of find balance in favor of a restricted classification will enhance the consistency
between information reported in the govermrient -wide statements and information in the
governmental fluid financial statements and avoid confusion about the relationship between reserved
fimd balance and restricted net assets. The find balance classification approach in this Statement
will require governments to classify amounts consistently, regardless of the find type or colunm in
which they are presented.
As a result, an amount cannot be classified as restricted in one find but unrestricted in another. The
find balance disclosures will give users information necessary to understand the processes under
which conswurits are imposed upon the use of resources and how those constraints may be modified or
eliminated. The clarifications of the govenmmental find type definitions will reduce uncertainty about
which resources call or should be reported in the respective find types. The provisions of the
Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 30, 2011. The District is classified as an
Enterprise Fund and not a Governmental Fund Type. As such, this standard will not have an effect on
the financial statements of the District.
In December of 2009, GASB issued GASBS No. 57. OPEB Measurements br Agent Employers and
Agent Multiple - Employer Plans. This Statement amends Statement No. 45, Accowiting and
Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemplo ment Benefits Other Than Pensions, to pennit an
agent employer that has an individual- employer OPEB plan with fewer than 100 total plan members
to use the alternative measurement method, at its option, regardless of the number of total plan
members in the agent multiple - employer OPEB plan in which it participates. Consistent with this
change to the employer- reporting requirements, this Statement also amends a Statement No. 43,
Financial Reporting for Postemploinnent Benefit Plans Other Than Pension Plans, requirement that
a defined benefit OPEB plan obtain an actuarial valuation. The amendment penmmits the requirement
to be satisfied for an agent multiple- employer OPEB plan by reporting an aggregation of results of
actuarial valuations of the individual- employer OPEB plans or measurements resulting from use of
the alternative measurement method for individual- employer OPEB plans that are eligible. The
District is required to implement the provisions of the Statement for the year ended June 30, 2012
(effective for periods beginning after Ame 15, 2011). This Statement will not result in a change in
current practice, since the District does not use the alternative measurement method.
hi November of 2010, GASB issued GASBS No. 60, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Service
Concession Arrangements. The objective of this Statement is to improve financial reporting by
addressing issues related to service concession arrangements (SCAB), which are a type of public -
private or public - public partnership.

As used in this Statement, an SCA is an arrangement between a transferor (a govenmient) and an
operator (governmental or nongovernmental entity) in which (1) the transferor conveys to an operator
the right and related obligation to provide services through the use of infiastructrue or another public
asset (a "facility ") nn exchange for significant consideration and (2) the operator collects and is
compensated by fees from third parties. The District is required to implement the provisions of this
Statement for the year ended June 30, 2013 (effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2011).
The District has no known SCAB that would require disclosure or have a material effect on the
financial statements of the District-
In November of 2010, GASB issued GASBS No. 61, The Financial Reporting Entity: Omnibus. This
Statement amends Statements No. 14 and 34, to modify certain requirements for inclusion of
component units in the financial reporting entity. For organizations that previously were required to be
included as component units by meeting the fiscal dependency criterion, a financial benefit or burden
relationship also would need to be present between the primary government and that organization for it
to be included in the reporting entity as a component unit. Further, for organizations that do not meet
the financial accountability criteria for inclusion as component units but that, nevertheless, should be
included because the primary governnnent's management determines that it would be misleading to
exclude them, this Statement clarifies the manner in which that determination should be made and the
types of relationships that generally should be considered in making the detennnnnation.
This Statement also amends the criteria for reporting component units as if they were part of the
primary govennuent (that is, blending) in certain circumstances and clarifies the reporting of equity
interests in legally separate organizations. It requires a primary government to report its equity interest
in a component unit as an asset. The District is required to implement the provisions of this Statement
for the year ended June 30, 2013 (effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2012). This Statement
will not result in a change in current practice, or have a material effect on the financial statements of
the District.
In December of 2010, GASB issued GASBS No. 62, Codification of Accounting and Financial

In June of 2011, GASB issued GASBS No. 63, Financial Reporting and Deferred Outflows of Resources,
Deferred Blows of Resources, and Neu Position. This Statement provides financial reporting guidance for
deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources. Concepts Statement No. 4, Elements of
Financial Statements, introduced and defined those elements as a consumption of net assets by the
government that is applicable to a fare reporting period, and an acquisition of net assets by the
government that is applicable to a future reporting period, respectively. Previous financial reporting
standards do not include guidance for reporting those financial statement elements, which are distinct from
assets and liabilities.
Concepts Statement 4 also identifies net position as the residual of all other elements presented in a
statement of financial position. This Statement amends the net asset reporting requirements in Statement
No. 34, Basic Financial Statements —and Management's Discussion and Analysis for State and Local
Governments, and other pronouncements by incorporating deferred outflows of resources and deferred
inflows of resources into the definitions of the required components of the residual measure and by
renaming that measure as net position, rather than net assets. The District is required to implement the
provisions of this Statement for the year ended June 30, 2013 (effective for periods beginning after
December 15, 2011). -1-his Statement should not result in a change in cu rem practice, or have a material

In hme of 2011, GASB issued GASBS No. 64, Derivative firstrmnents: Application of Hedge Accounting
Termination Provisions. This Statement amends Statement No. 53, Accounting and Financial Reporting for
Derivative Instruments. Some governments have entered into interest rate swap agreements and commodity
swap agreements in which a swap counterparty, or the swap counteuparty's credit support provider,
commits or experiences either an act of default or a temination event as both are described in the swap
agreement. Many of those governments have replaced thew swap countenparty, or swap coumterparty's
credit support providers, either by amending existing swap agreements or by entering into new swap
agreements. When these swap agreements have been reported as hedging inshuunents, questions have
arisen regarding the application of the termination of hedge accounting provisions in Statement No. 53,
Accounting and Financial Reporting for Derivative Instruments. Those provisions require a govermuent to
cease hedge accounting upon the termination of the hedging derivative instnnnent, resulting in the
inuuediate recognition of the deferred outflows of resources or deferred 'inflows of resources as a
component of investment income.

Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of
an investment; generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its
fair value to changes in market interest rates_ It is the District's policy to manage exposure to
interest rate risk by purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer teen investments and by
timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to
maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations.
District policy is that investment maturities do not exceed one year, with the exception of Treasury
Notes or Local Agency Investment Fund, however investments can be held longer with Board
approval.
The District's investments at year end with the exception of the U.S Treasuries and Commercial
Paper below are held in external investment pools which are liquid investments.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the District's investments to nnarket interest
rate fluctuation is provided by the following schedule that shows the distribution of the District's

investment portfolio will be invested in a single issuer. Dining the current fiscal year the District
invested 65% of its monies in the State Investment Pool (LA1F) which is not lunited by the
California Government Code or District Investment Policy.

portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based oil the accounting records maintained by
the County Treasurer, which is recorded on the amortized cost basis.
Investment in the State Investment Pool — The District is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency
Investment Fumd (LAIF) that is regulated by California government code Section 16429 under the

Custodial Credit Risk — Investments
Custodial risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g. the
broker - dealer) to a transaction, a govemmnient will not be able to recover the value of its investment
or collateral securities that are un the possession of another party. The California Government Code
does not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk.
The District's policy is to use the services of the Treasurer's Office of the County of Contra Costa,
which will transact the District's investment decisions in compliance with the requirements of the
District's policy. The Cotmty Treasurer's Office will execute the District's investments through
such broker - dealers and financial institutions as are approved by the County Treasurer, and through
the State Treasurer's Office for investment in the Local Agency hrvestment Fund.

Proposition I Loan Receivable
Under the provisions of Proposition IA, and.as part of the 2009 -10 budget package passed by the
California state legislature on July 28, 2009, the State of California borrowed 8% of the amount of
property tax revenue, including those property taxes associated with the supplemental property tax
apportioned to special districts. The state is required to repay this borrowing, plus interest; by June
30, 2013. After repayment of this initial borrowing, the California legislature may consider only one
additional borrowing within a ten -year period. The amount of this borrowing pertaining to the
District was $ 985,916.
Tile borrowing by the State of California was recognized as a receivable in the accompanying
financial statements, with an equal amount set up as an allowance for doubtful accounts. In the
Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets, the tax
revenues were recognized in the fiscal year for which they were levied (fiscal year 2010).
Due to the current economic climate, and the current budget difficulties of the State of California,
District management has decided to reserve the entire Proposition IA loan of $985,916. This
amount is tracked as a loan receivable on the books, with a corresponding contra account on the
Statement of Net Assets, which effectively eliminates the receivable. The Statement of Revenues,
Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets also includes The property tax revenue connected to the
receivable. The revenue is offset by the provision for losses.

Liabilitv for Uninsured Claims
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) requires state and local governments to
record their liability for uninsured claims in thew financial statements.
The District's uninsured claims activity and exposure relates primarily to its general and automobile
liability program. The District records its estimated liability for lurinsured claims in this area based
on the results of periodic actuarial evaluations. The actuarial evaluations are typically performed
every two years. For intervening years, the liability for tinsured claims is reviewed for adequacy
based on claims activity during the intervening period.
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, 2010, and 2009, settlements have not exceeded insurance
coverage. Changes in the District's estimated liability for uninsured claims for fiscal years 2011,
2010. and 2009 are summarized as follows:

10. POST EMPLOYMENT HEALTH CARE BENEFITS
Plan Description
The District's defined benefit post employment healthcare plan, (DPHP), provides medical benefits
to eligible retired District employees and beneficiaries. DPHP is part of the Public Agency portion
of the Public Agency Retirement System (PARS), an agent nultiple- employer plan administered by
PARS, which acts as a conurron investment and administrative agent for participating public
employees within the State of California. A menu of benefit provisions as well as other
requirements is established by the State star te,with the Public Employees' Retirement Law. DPHP
selects optional benefit provisions from the benefit menu by contract with PARS and adopts those
benefits through District resolution. PARS issues a separate Comprehensive Armual Financial
Report. Copies of the PARS annual financial report may be obtained from PARS, 4350 Von
Kanuran Ave., Suite 100, Ne,.vport Beach, CA 92660; by calling 1(800) 540 -6369; or by enrailing
info@pars.org.
Funding Policy
Statement No. 45 sets rules for computing the employer's expense for retiree benefits other than
pension, called OPEBs. The expense, called the annual OPEB Cost (AOC), is detenrined similarly
to pensions. The annrrol required contribution (4RC) of the employer, represents a level of funding
that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal annual costs each year and amortize
any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed 30 years. Mien an
agency contributes more than the ARC, there is a net OPEB asset; when the contribution is less, a
net OPEB obligation results. There is a net OPEB asset of $916,736 and $746,931 as of hue 30,
2011 and 2010, respectively.
Because of the volatility of the investment market, the District Board voted to make monthly
urstalhnents into the OPEB Trust to take advantage of dollar- cost - averaging.
Armual OPEB Cost
For 2011, the District's annual OPEB cost (expense) was equal to the ARC of $6,976,364. The
District contributed $7,146,169; $3,571,141 for retiree health care premiums and $3,575,028 to the
PARS trust. The following table shows the components of the District's annual OPEB costs for the
years 2011 and 2010, the arnomrt actually contributed to the plan, and changes in the District's net

Per PARS, actuarial assets as of June 30, 2011, including host contributions and interest, total
$18,077,303 ($9,305,798 at June 30, 2010). Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve
estimates of the value of reported amounts and assrmnptions about the probability of occurrence of
events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality, and
the healthcare cost trend. The funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the
employer are subject to continual revision, as actual results are compared with past expectations and
new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of fimding progress, presented as required
supplementary information, presents multiyear trend information that shows whether the actuarial
value of the plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time, relative to the actuarial liabilities for
benefits.

10. POST EMPLOYD4ENT HEALTH CARE BENEFITS (continued)
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Projections for benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan
as understood by the employer and plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the
time of each valuation as well as the historical pattern of sharing benefit costs between the employer
and plan members. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are
designed to reduce short -term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and actuarial value of assets,
consistent with the long term perspective of the calculations.
In August 2011, the District had ail additional actuarial valuation prepared as of July 1, 2010. This
additional valuation was not required at the tune, but was prepared in order to begin a completion
schedule that allows the District to have data available for future budget cycles, in this case for the
2011 — 2012 and 2012 — 2013 fiscal years. The ARC in 2011 — 2012 and 2012 — 2013 will increase
to $8.3 million per year. The neat actuarial valuation is scheduled to be performed by December 31,
2012 to be applied to the 2013 — 2014 fiscal year.
The following is a sunmrary of the actuarial assumptions and methods:

The District has deposited monies to the PARS oust in excess of the actuarial determined arnual
required contribution (ARC), therefore, under the provisions of GASB 45, the District has an OPEB
asset of $916,736 for reporting purposes.
Tire provision for the GASB 45 OPEB obligation is an asset of $916,736 at June 30, 2011. The
actuarial determined liability, which is being paid over the next 30 yeas, is $68,769,305 at July 1,
2009, of which, $18,077,303 (or 26 %) has been funded.
