ISSUE
The audited ACFR of Central San for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2023, and the independent auditors'
memorandum on internal control and required communications for the year ended June 30, 2023, are
being submitted to the Board for acceptance.
BACKGROUND
Independent Audit Results
The independent audit firm of Maze &Associates has completed their audit of Central San's annual
financial statements for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2023, and has issued their audit opinion thereon.
The objective of this annually required independent audit is the expression of an opinion as to whether the
basic financial statements are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with United States
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and to report on the fairness of the supplementary
information in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. The audit is conducted in accordance
with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards in the United States (GAAS). GAAS requires the
December 21, 2023 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 98 of 461
Page 2 of 116
independent auditor to plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable, but not absolute, assurance about
whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. Procedures performed necessary to
gather sufficient audit evidence supporting their opinion are based on a comprehensive assessment of
Central San's financial risks and incorporate an element of both internal control risks and inherent business
risks. Management is pleased to announce Central San's independent auditor's report for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2023, expresses an unmodified (clean) opinion. The Independent Auditors' Report
including the audit opinion is included on Page 1 of the attached ACFR (Attachment 1).
In accordance with California Government Code Section 53891, information from the audit is also used
to prepare an annual report filed with the California State Controller's Office (SCO). This report is referred
to as the Financial Transactions Report(FTR) and is prepared following the reporting guidelines published
by the SCO annually. Now that the annual independent audit has been completed, the FTR for the Fiscal
Year ended June 30, 2023, will be remitted electronically by the January 31, 2024, reporting deadline. The
audited financial statements will also be sent to the Contra Costa County Auditor-Controller's Office, the
Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, the Bond Rating Agencies, and posted to the Electronic
Municipal Market Access (EMMA)website as required by continuing disclosure requirements for Central
San's bond and certificate debt issuances.
I n accordance with GAAS, in the performance of their audit of the annual financial statements, the
independent auditors evaluated Central San's internal controls over financial reporting. Based on their
observations during the course of the audit, the independent auditors notify management of any significant
deficiencies or material misstatements and any recommendations to improve the system of internal
accounting controls. The independent auditors are required to communicate certain matters to those
charged with governance at the conclusion of the audit, which is addressed by their"Memorandum on
Internal Control and Required Communications" (Attachment 2). In addition to the clean audit opinion,
management is pleased to report there were no significant deficiencies or material misstatements
identified by the auditors as part of this year's audit.
Financial Summary
Pursuant to GAAP, as a stand-alone business-type governmental entity, Central San uses an enterprise
fund format to report its activities for financial statement purposes. Under this enterprise fund format, all
non-fiduciary sub-funds of the Central San (i.e., Running Expense, Sewer Construction, Self-Insurance,
Debt Service) are consolidated into a single reporting unit and reported in a Statement of Net Position;
Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position; and a Statement of Cash Flows. This
consolidated reporting unit is considered an "opinion unit" and is what Central San's independent auditors
have rendered their(clean) opinion on. Accordingly, the emphasis of the annual audited financial
statements is at the District-wide level pursuant to GAAP and not at the sub-fund level.
Central San's total ending net position increased by$72.8 million or 8.17 percent in 2022-23. This
increase is primarily due to the deferred inflows related to the pension plan decreasing by$126.8 million
offset by a net pension asset of$53.5 million in the prior year transforming to a net pension liability of
$37.8 million.Also, the deferred outflows related to the pension and OPEB plans decreased by a
combined $49.8 million from the prior year. These large changes in pension and OPEB plan related
deferred inflows, outflows, assets, and liabilities are attributable to Central San's plans being nearly fully
funded, making them highly susceptible to the investment market volatility experienced over the past year.
I n addition to market volatility considerations, timing also has an important impact on the performance of
the post-retirement benefit trusts. For instance, while both plans reported significant investment losses for
the calendar year ended December 31, 2022, they reported noteworthy returns for Fiscal Year ended
June 30, 2023, which is reflected in the ACFR (reported on a fiscal year, not calendar year, basis).

GFOA Award Program
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) is a professional association of state/provincial
and local finance officers in the United States and Canada and has served the public finance profession
since 1906. The GFOA established the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting
Program in 1945 to encourage and assist state and local governments to go beyond the minimum
requirements of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) issued by the Government
Accounting Standards Board (GASB), and to prepare an ACFR that provides transparency and full
disclosure, and then recognize individual governments that succeed in achieving that goal.
On August 2, 2023, Central San was awarded a Certificate ofAchievement for Excellence in Financial
Reporting by the GFOA for the report submitted for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2022, representing
the 23rd consecutive year Central San has received the award. The Certificate of Achievement is the
highest form of recognition for excellence in state and local government financial reporting. I n order to be
awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government agency must publish an easily readable report in a
prescribed format report that complies with GAAP, as well as the GFOA program requirements. The
ACFR includes ten years of Central San's historical, financial, and statistical data. The ACFR provides a
concise document for internal management use, as well as external use with other agencies, and is posted
on Central San's website for the general public. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one
year.
The Finance Division has prepared the Central San's ACFR as of June 30, 2023. Management is
confident that the current ACFR continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in
Financial Reporting Program requirements and intends to submit it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility
for another certificate.
ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS
Preparation of an audited ACFR is required by law for all California Special Districts. The Board's
acceptance of the ACFR and the related independent auditors' memorandum on internal control and other
required communications is a necessary formality to finalize and permanently record receipt of the report.
The Board could direct staff not to pursue the GFOA award for the ACFR. However, pursuing the award is
advised, a best practice, and consistent with Central San's strategic plan and goals to provide exceptional
customer service and maintain an excellent reputation in the community.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The acceptance of the independently audited ACFR for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2023, does not
have any direct fiscal impact on Central San.
Staff intends to submit the attached ACFR to the GFOA for the Certificate ofAchievement for
Excellence in Financial Reporting program, for which there is an application fee for submission of an
ACFR for review based on total revenues of the entity applying. Based on this sliding fee schedule,
Central San's fee is expected to be $560. Funding necessary to cover this cost was included in the
adopted budget for the current Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2024.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Finance Committee reviewed this matter at its special meeting on November 27, 2023, and
recommended approval.

CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA •
November 29, 2023
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District Customers and
The Honorable Board of Directors,
Martinez, California:
California Government Code section 26909 requires an audit to be completed and filed with the
California State Controller's Office within twelve months after the close of the fiscal year. This
report is published to fulfill that requirement for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 (FY 2022-23).
Management of Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (the District) assumes full responsibility for
the completeness and reliability of the information in these financial statements, based upon a
comprehensive system of internal controls that is established for this purpose. Because the cost of
internal control should not exceed anticipated benefits, the objective is to provide reasonable,
rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of any material
misstatements.
The District's independent auditors, Maze &Associates,has issued an unmodified ("clean") opinion
on the District's financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023. The independent auditors'
report is located at the front of the financial section of this report.
Management's Discussion and Analysis report (MD&A) immediately follows the independent
auditors' report and provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis of the basic financial
statements. The MD&A complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in conjunction
with it.
PROFILE OF THE GOVERNMENT
History and Services Provided
The District was established in 1946 under the Sanitary District Act of 1923 and is located
approximately 30 miles east of San Francisco. The District builds, operates and maintains the
facilities required to collect and clean wastewater for approximately 352,000 residents of Danville,
Lafayette, Martinez, Moraga, Orinda, Pleasant Hill, San Ramon, Walnut Creek and some of the
unincorporated communities within its District boundaries. The District also treats wastewater for
approximately 133,000 residents of the Cities of Concord and Clayton under a 1974 (and as
subsequently amended) contract with the City of Concord.
The District is committed to protecting public health and preserving the environment at
responsible rates, through conducting long-range financial planning and managing costs. The
District has approximately 1,500 miles of sewer pipeline, ranging in size from 4 inches to 102
inches in diameter, and 19 sewage-pumping stations (three of which are privately owned) in the
i
December 21, 2023 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 107 of 461
Page 11 of 116
District's sewage collection system. The District is the sole provider of wastewater collection and
treatment service within the District limits (see map of service area). The residential segment
makes up the largest segment of the District's customer base representing approximately 83% of
the Sewer Service Charge operating revenue. The District's treatment capacity has grown
significantly from a modest 4.5 million gallons per day(mgd) in 1948 to 53.8 mgd currently. Bonds,
certificates of participation, state/federal grants, and pay-as-you-go local revenue sources of the
District have traditionally financed capital expenditures and capacity expansions. While pay-as-you
go local revenue sources have been the primary financing mechanism for the District's capital
program over the past decade, debt financing is expected to gradually increase. This is
demonstrated by the issuance of$50.6 million in certificates of participation in June 2021 and up to
$98.5 million in approved California Water Board State Revolving Fund loan proceeds over the next
few years (from an approved loan of$173 million). In addition to these approved debt issuances,
the District's long-range financial plan also anticipates the use of additional debt financing for UV
disinfection upgrades,solids handling,and nutrient removal infrastructure needs.
The District also operates a Recycled Water Program, in collaboration with Contra Costa Water
District, that provides high-quality recycled water for landscape irrigation at schools, parks,
playgrounds, median strips and playing fields, as well as dust control and industrial process uses.
Due to strong customer demand, the District maintained operation of its Residential Recycled
Water Fill Station, which allows residential customers to obtain a maximum of 300 gallons of
recycled water per trip for use in hand watering lawns, landscaping, and gardens. The District also
actively pursues new recycled water expansion opportunities to take advantage of the potential
water supply that highly-treated wastewater represents, particularly given California's limited
water supply. The District has been collaborating with public water agency partners to jointly
invest in a project that will enable the District to comply with future nutrient discharge regulations
while producing a new water supply to help ease the region's water shortage. The District recently
executed a Memorandum of Understanding with East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) that
will evaluate several potential recycled water projects together, including an option for potable
reuse - introducing highly-treated recycled water into EBMUD's drinking water supply. The
District continues to actively promote water recycling,given the role this would have in addressing
the statewide water shortage and the developing effects of climate change.
In addition to its responsibility to collect and treat wastewater, the District also undertakes
pollution prevention initiatives through the operation and maintenance of a permanent Household
Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Facility in partnership with Mountain View Sanitary District
and other local governments. The HHW Collection Facility is located adjacent to the District's
wastewater treatment plant and seeks to keep pollutants out of the sewer system, making this
facility a vital part of our overall Pollution Prevention Program. Having completed its 26th year of
operation, the HHW Facility served over 30,000 residential and small business customers. On
average, over two million pounds of hazardous waste is collected and properly disposed of
annually, collecting over 1.8 million pounds of waste in FY 2022-23. In conjunction with its HHW
program,the District's Pharmaceutical Collection Program further encourages pollution prevention
having approximately 5,600 pounds of expired or unwanted medications between its seven
collection sites in FY 2022-23.
Organization.Accounting and Budgetary Controls
A five-member Board of Directors governs the District. The Board sets policies, appoints officers,
and hires and oversees the District's General Manager, Secretary of the District, and District
Counsel. The Board positions are non-partisan and serve staggered four-year terms. The District
began a transition from an "at-large" election system to an area-based"by-division" election system
ii
December 21, 2023 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 108 of 461
Page 12 of 116
under the California Voting Rights Act in 2020. Two Board members were elected in November
2022 and were the first to represent their respective division as part of the by-district election
system (Divisions 2 and 3). Thereafter, the remaining three Board members shall be elected on a
by-division basis in November 2024 (Divisions 1, 4 and 5) completing Central San's transition to a
by-district election system. The Board appoints the General Manager, who in accordance with
policies established by the Board, manages District affairs. The District employed 278 permanent
regular full-time employees at fiscal year-end out of 294 authorized permanent regular full-time
positions for that fiscal year. These employees are organized into three departments steered by an
Executive Governance unit. Department Directors oversee and are responsible for the budgets and
expenses of each department and their underlying divisions. The three departments are:
Administration,Engineering and Technical Services,and Operations.
The District charges fees to external users for providing sewer collection and treatment services,
and these fees comprise the primary revenue source. Accordingly, pursuant to generally accepted
accounting principles issued by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the District
uses full accrual enterprise fund accounting to account for its operations, which is similar, though
not identical, to private industry. The District currently has one enterprise fund for financial
reporting purposes, which is comprised of the following four internal sub-funds for internal
accounting purposes:
■ Running Expense - accounts for the general operations of the District. Substantially all
operating revenues and expenses are accounted for in this fund (also referred to as the
Operations&Maintenance or"O&M"Fund).
■ Sewer Construction - accounts for non-operating revenues that are to be used for acquisition
or construction of plant,property,and equipment(also referred to as the Capital Fund).
■ Self-Insurance - accounts for interest earnings on cash balances in this sub-fund and cash
allocations from other funds, as well as costs of insurance premiums and claims not covered by
the District's insurance policies.
■ Debt Service - accounts for activity associated with the payment of the District's long term
bonds and loans.
Each year, the Board adopts the following four budgets: Operations and Maintenance, Capital
Improvement (i.e. Sewer Construction), Self-Insurance, and Debt-Service. The Board and Finance
Committee review interim financial reports on a quarterly basis for fiduciary purposes, with
management receiving more detailed monthly budget-to-actual results for budget monitoring
purposes. District management is accountable for monitoring variances and adhering to overall
budget constraints. The Board has delegated various contracting and spending authority to the
General Manager, as specified by an adopted Board policy. Additional limited contracting and
spending authority is further delegated to certain staff classifications as specified by internal
signature limits. The District also has several documented financial policies (i.e., debt management,
investments, fiscal reserves, pension and OPEB funding, etc.) that are periodically reviewed and
updated to ensure their consistency with best practices as well as changes in laws and regulations.

ASSESSING THE DISTRICT'S ECONOMIC CONDITION
Local Economy and Outlook
The District's service area is in Contra Costa County (County) in the State of California (State).
According to the State's Employment Development Department (EDD), the County unemployment
rate increased from 3.1% in September 2022 to 4.1% in September 2023. The combination of high
interest rates and increasing unemployment could lead to slower than normal economic growth in
the local economy. To put the County's unemployment rate into perspective, the County ranks as
the 18th lowest in unemployment of the State's 58 counties.
The County's annual population declined by 0.36%as of January 1, 2023 per the State's Department
of Finance Population Research Unit. As of July 1, 2023,the County had an estimated population of
1,144,040. In twenty years, by July 1, 2023, the County's population is projected to grow to
1,302,043 million people. Regarding per capita income,in 2022 the County was ranked 19th among
the state's 58 counties with a per capita income of $95,047 per the U.S. Bureau of Economic
Analysis.
Long-Term Financial Planning
The District strives to maintain an excellent reputation in providing public service, which includes
transparent and accessible governance, financial reporting and management, sewage collection and
treatment,workforce safety, capital improvements and replacements,innovative use of technology,
and customer service. The Board of Directors approved a four-year sewer service charge rate
adjustment schedule in April 2019 spanning July 2019 through June 2023. The four-year sewer
service charge rate increases ranged from 4.75% to 5.25% annually, subject to a Board review for
continued necessity prior to the start of each fiscal year. The planned increases are a critical
component of implementing the treatment plant and collection system capital improvement
projects specified in the District's 20-year Master Plan adopted in 2017. In the spring of 2023,two
years of rate adjustments were adopted for the upcoming two fiscal years, with overall Sewer
Service Charge rates increasing by 1%and 4%,respectively.
As noted previously, in conjunction with the approved sewer service charge rates, the District's
latest 10-year financial plan anticipates some use of additional debt financing to address major
capital spending projects including upgrades to the UV disinfection system, solids handling, and
nutrient removal infrastructure needs. Despite this long-term ramping up in projected capital
financing needs, the FY 2023-24 capital budget is decreasing by approximately $19.8 million
(21.7%) from the prior year's adopted budget, largely attributable to project construction delays
related to pandemic related global materials supply chains. In total, capital budget carryovers
(unused spending authority carried forward to a subsequent year) into FY 2023-24 are
approximately$78.8 million,which Management and the Board are taking into consideration while
forecasting sewer service charge revenue needs for FY 2023-24 and beyond.
District management analyzes and updates a strategic plan every two years,with the seven goals in
effect during FY 2022-23 being:
1. Customer and Community- Provide exceptional customer service,
2. Environmental Stewardship - Meet regulatory requirements, promote sustainability, and
identify and reduce contributions to climate change and mitigate its impacts,
3. Workforce Diversity&Development- Recruit, educate, empower,and retain a workforce
from diverse backgrounds,
iv
December 21, 2023 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 110 of 461
Page 14 of 116
4. Governance & Fiscal Responsibility - Uphold integrity, transparency, and wise financial
management in an effective governing model,
5. Safety & Security - Provide a safe, secure, and healthful workplace that foresees and
addresses threats,
6. Infrastructure Reliability - Maintain facilities and equipment to be dependable resilient,
and long lasting,and
7. Innovation & Agility - Optimize operations for continuous improvement and remain
flexible and adaptable.
Strategies to achieve each of these seven goals are developed, as well as metrics to evaluate success.
Performance on achievement of the goals in the plan is reported quarterly to the Board. The
District updates a 10-year financial plan each year prior to the completion, presentation, and
adoption of the annual budget. The main economic factors considered in this long-term forecasting
exercise are: the impact of state legislation and mandates, regulatory compliance, GASB reporting
requirements, negotiated labor contract terms (including projected changes in retirement and
health care costs), energy costs and interpreting the energy market, interest rates, housing growth,
and infrastructure renewal and replacement needs. The unfunded actuarial accrued liabilities
(UAAL) for the District's pension and other post-employment benefit (OPEB) plans are also
considered in the financial planning process. Pursuant to the most recently issued independent
actuarial reports, the District had a strong fiduciary net position in both plans of approximately
92.4%for its pension plan as of the December 31, 2022 measurement date and 100.2% for its OPEB
plan as of the June 30, 2023 measurement date. Due to continued downturn in the markets since
the December 31, 2022 measurement date, the District assumes the funded status of the pension
plan is likely to remain below 100% in the next actuarial study, which will also be taken into
account when developing future sewer service charge rates and allocations for FY 2024-25 and
beyond.
The District anticipates that it will continue to meet its mission and goals, continue to provide
excellent customer service at responsible rates to its customers,and meet compliance requirements
and other goals as specified in its strategic plan for the foreseeable future.
Relevant Financial Policies
Investment policies for the District's assets, the OPEB Trust, and the Pension Prefunding Trust are
reviewed and approved at least biennially by the Board. During FY 2022-23 the District Board
directed an additional $1,000,000 be contributed to the OPEB Trust as a mechanism to hedge
against potential future employer OPEB contribution rate volatility. The Pension Prefunding Trust
was utilized in June 2021 to pay off the balance of the pension plan's UAAL. Section 53646 of the
California Government Code governs the District's investment practices, with changes in legislation
being considered in the Board's annual review of District investment policies. Additionally, the
Board receives quarterly financial statements that include District investment portfolio reports.
The OPEB Trust and the Section 115 Pension Prefunding Trusts are governed by separate
investment policies. Since 2008, the OPEB Trust has been invested with a moderate investment
strategy, reflecting the relatively long-term horizon for use of the funds. The Section 115 Pension
Prefunding trust funds are invested using a moderately conservative strategy, reflecting its
relatively shorter-term needs. These two irrevocable trusts are managed by an outside investment
advisor subject to investment policies adopted by the Board. The Board Finance Committee
reviews the OPEB Trust and Section 115 Pension Trust performance on a quarterly basis.

Major Initiatives
The District's vision statement in effect during FY 2022-23 was to be an innovative industry leader in
environmental stewardship and sustainability, while delivering exceptional service at responsible
rates. The Board and Management strives to achieve this vision through the establishment of a
Strategic Plan that establishes seven overarching goals (as outlined previously), each with their
own specific underlying strategies,initiatives,and key success measures.
The District has received the Platinum award from the National Association of Clean Water
Agencies (NACWA) for 25 straight years in recognition of 100% compliance with our National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. It has also reduced the number of
sanitary sewer overflows by more than 85% in the past 20 years by improved sewer cleaning and a
robust sewer rehabilitation program.
As described previously, the District reviews and adopts a Strategic Plan every two years. In FY
2021-22, the District Board and Management developed a new Strategic Plan for FY 2022-23 and
FY 2023-24, which was completed and adopted by the Board in the Spring of 2022, immediately
prior to the adoption of the FY 2022-23 budget.The District continues to analyze current and future
rates, costs, and cash flows to ensure consistency with cost of service studies (initially adopted in
FY 2014-15 and then updated in FY 2018-19 for the four-year rate plan extending through FY 2022-
23).
In order to effectively manage assets to meet future state and federal regulatory requirements, the
District initiated an Asset Management Program and the preparation of a Comprehensive
Wastewater Management Plan to evaluate options for addressing future regulatory requirements.
The latest Management Plan was completed in FY 2016-17 and is intended to be used as a roadmap
for capital improvements over the next two decades. Individual projects are proposed in an annual
capital improvement budget, and brought to the Board for approval above specified limits.
Furthermore, in May 2018, the Board approved the adoption of the Uniform Construction Cost
Accounting Act (UPCCA), which provides for a streamlined contracting and approval process for
smaller capital projects.
AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the District for its annual
comprehensive financial report (ACFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. This was the 23ra
consecutive year that the District has achieved this prestigious award. In order to receive the
award, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized ACFR. This report
must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting is valid for a period of one year

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
Martinez, California
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the business-type activities of the Central Contra Costa
Sanitary District (District), California, as of and for the years ended June 30, 2023, and the related notes to the
financial statements, which collectively comprise the District's basic financial statements as listed in the Table of
Contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective
financial position of the business-type activities of the District as of June 30, 2023, and the change in financial
positions and, cash flows thereof for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the District and to meet our other
ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirement relating to our audit. We believe that the
audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Managementfor 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; and for the design, implementation, and
maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free
from material misstatement,whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events,
considered in the aggregate,that raise substantial doubt about the District's ability to continue as a going concern for
twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise
substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that
an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for
one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that,
individually or in the aggregate,they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial
statements.

December 21, 2023 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 120 of 461
Page 24 of 116
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud
or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include
examining,on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 District's internal control. Accordingly,no such opinion is expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that
raise substantial doubt about the District's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period
of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned
scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we
identified during the audit.
Report on Summarized Comparative Information
We have previously audited the District's June 30,2022 financial statements, and we expressed an unmodified audit
opinions on those audited financial statements in our report dated December 8, 2022. In our opinion, the
summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended June 30,2022 is consistent,in all
material respects,with the audited financial statements from which it has been derived.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that Management's Discussion and
Analysis and other Required Supplementary Information, as listed in the table of contents, be presented to
supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, 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.

Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise
the District's basic financial statements. The accompanying Supplementary Information, as listed in the Table of
Contents, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements.
Such 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.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information comprises
the Introductory Section and Statistical Section listed in the Table of Contents, but does not include the basic
financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover
the other information,and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and
consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or
the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude
that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists,we are required to describe it in our report.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
This section of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District's (District) annual financial report presents an
analysis of the District's financial performance during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 (2022-23). This
information is presented in conjunction with the audited financial statements,which follow this report.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The District's 2022-23 financial highlights are listed below. These results are discussed in more detail later
in the report.
• The District's total ending net position increased by$72.8 million or 8.2%in 2022-23.This increase
is primarily due to the deferred inflows related to the pension plan decreasing by $126.8 million
offset by a net pension asset of$53.5 million in the prior year flipping to a net pension liability of
$37.8 million. Also, the deferred outflows related to the pension and OPEB plans decreased by a
combined $46.9 million from prior year. These large changes in pension and OPEB plan related
deferred inflows, outflows, assets, and liabilities are attributable to the District's plans being nearly
fully funded, making them susceptible to the investment market volatility experienced over the past
year.
• Total operating revenue, decreased by$48.9 million or 41.2% in 2022-23. This decrease is directly
attributable to the portion of sewer service charges revenue allocated to operations decreasing from
66.9% in prior year to 41.1%in 2022-23,a decrease of$49.0 million. In the prior year, a significant
increase to the operational share of the sewer service charge allocation was directed by the Board
after 2021 Wastewater Certificates of Participation (2021 COPS) were issued generating $58.0
million in proceeds to help fund capital projects in lieu of sewer service charges. This decrease is
partially offset by a large increase of$3.4 million in investment earnings when compared to the prior
year due to multiple interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve throughout 2022 and into 2023.
• Total 2022-23 operating expenses other than depreciation increased by $7.3 million or 9.1%. This
increase is largely attributable to an increase in pension-related expenses related to the increase in
the net pension liability,described previously.
• Capital Contributions increased in 2022-23 by$61.7 million or 255.3%. The increase is mainly due
to a reduced allocation of sewer service charges allocated to finance capital projects by the Board
following the issuance of the 2021 COPS, as noted previously. To a lesser extent, the increase was
also caused by an increase in capacity fees and contributions from the City of Concord for its flow-
based proportionate share of treatment plant and other eligible capital project costs.

The total net position of the District increased from$890.2 million in 2021-22 to$963.0 million in 2022-23,
an increase of 8.2%.This is an increase of$137.5 million,or 16.7%when compared to 2020-21. Total assets
increased $27.7 million or 2.6% compared to 2021-22 and increased $140.7 million or 15.1% compared to
2020-21. Total liabilities increased $29.0 million or 28.8% compared to 2021-22 and decreased $18.0
million or 12.2%compared to 2020-21. The increase in net position over the three-year period totals$137.5
million, or 16.7%, resulting mostly from pension-related actuarily determined deferred inflows decreasing
from $179.8 million in 2021-22 to $52.9 million in 2022-23 and the prior year's net pension asset of$53.5
million flipping to a net pension liability of$37.8 million.
As a public utility relying heavily on a complex infrastructure network, the largest portion of the District's
net position by far (81.2%) 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 wastewater treatment,
collection, and other services to its customers; consequently, these assets are not available for future
spending. Although the District's investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt,it should be
noted that the funds needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources,since the capital assets
themselves cannot generally be used to discharge these liabilities. The balance of $178.5 million in
unrestricted net position reflects an increase of$35.9 million from 2021-22 and increased by$72.8 million
from 2020-21. As noted previously, this increase was primarily a result of a decrease in pension related
deferred inflows offset by an increase in the net pension liability.

Revenue
Total operating revenues decreased from$118.9 million in 2021-22 to $70.0 million in 2022-23,a decrease
of$48.9 million or 41.2%. This is a decrease of$19.3 million or 21.6% when compared to 2020-21. This
decrease in operating revenues is primarily attributable to a large decrease in the proportion of sewer
service charges authorized by the Board to fund operating and maintenance costs,and an offsetting increase
in funding for capital improvement projects.
Total non-operating revenue decreased from $27.8 million in 2020-21 to $26.4 million in 2021-22 and
increased to $30.3 million in 2022-23. Total non-operating revenues in 2022-23 increased compared to
2021-22 by$3.9 million or 14.9%and increased by$2.5 million or 8.9%comparing 2022-23 to 2020-21.
Total revenues increased from $117.1 million in 2020-21 to $145.3 million in 2021-22 and decreased to
$100.3 million in 2022-23. The change in total revenue represented a decrease of$45.0 million or 31.0%
comparing 2022-23 to 2021-22 and a decrease of$16.8 million or 14.3% comparing 2022-23 to 2020-21.
Revenue attributable to secured property taxes grew over the prior year due to property value growth
attributable to Prop 13 valuation growth, property sales, as well as development within the District.
Accordingly, property tax revenue increased by $1.7 million or 8.0% from 2021-22 to 2022-23, and $2.4
million or 11.8%comparing 2022-23 to 2020-21. Sewer service charge rate collected in 2022-23 reflects an
increase of 4.5% (to $690) for single family homes and 4.6% (to$654) for multi-family homes.

Expenses
Total expenses increased from $104.7 million in 2021-22 to $113.3 million in 2022-23, an increase of$8.6
million or 8.2%.This is an increase of$7.3 million or 6.9%when compared to 2020-21. As noted previously,
this increase from prior year is largely attributable to the net pension liability and recognition of a $15.0
million pension expense adjustment(see Note 9 in the audited financial statements)due to decreased market
performance of assets in the pension trust.
Total income before capital contributions went from $11.1 million in 2020-21,to $40.6 million in 2021-22,
and decreased to-$13.0 million in 2022-23. The significant decrease from 2021-22 to 2022-23 is attributable
to a larger portion of sewer service charges being allocated to operations,as described previously.
Total capital contributions in 2022-23 were $85.8 million compared to $24.1 million in 2021-22 and $46.6
million in 2020-21. As noted previously,this increase was mainly derived from an increase in the allocation
of sewer service charges to the capital program.
CAPITAL ASSETS
Net capital assets for fiscal years 2022-23, 2021-22 and 2020-21 totaled$849.4 million,$812.7 million,and
$760.6 million, respectively. Net capital assets include the District's entire major infrastructure including
wastewater treatment facilities, sewers, land, buildings, pumping stations, vehicles, intangible assets and
furniture and equipment exceeding the District's capitalization policy limit of$5,000,less depreciation. As
of June 30,2023,the District's investment in capital assets totaled$849.4 million,an increase of$36.7 million
or 4.5%over the net capital asset balance of$812.7 million at June 30,2022. Net capital assets increased by
$88.8 million or 11.7% comparing 2022-23 to 2020-21. A comparison of the District's capital assets,net of
depreciation,over the past three fiscal years is presented below:

The increase in capital assets, net of depreciation, of $36.7 million from 2021-22 to 2022-23 and $88.8
million from 2020-21 to 2022-23 is a result of an expanding capital improvement program over these years
to address the replacement of aging treatment plant and collection system infrastructure,address regulatory
requirements,and improve the sustainability of operations and technology. In this timeframe,spending has
exceeded annual depreciation with capital outlays largely financed by pay-as-you-go resources (i.e., new
revenue and reserves) rather than debt. This year's major addition to construction-in-progress includes the
following:
Project Number Project Description Capital Outlay
7361 Filter Plant&Clearwell Improvements Ph. 1A $ 8,289,958

Refer to Note 5 in the audited financial statements for additional details on the District's capital assets.
DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Total long-term debt,excluding liabilities related to pension,OPEB and compensated absences liabilities,for
fiscal years 2022-23, 2021-22 and 2020-21 totaled $67.8 million, $64.1 million, and $75.7 million,
respectively. As of June 30, 2023,the District's outstanding debt totaled $67.8 million,which is an increase
of$3.7 million or 5.7%over the debt balance of$64.1 million at June 30,2022. Debt decreased by$7.9 million
or 10.5%comparing 2022-23 to 2020-21. The increase in debt obligations is due to$15.6 million in proceeds
received from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund in the current year to reimburse eligible costs for the
Solids Handling Facility Improvements capital project and are to be repaid after completion of the project,
offset by the repayment of other outstanding debt. The primary source of funds pledged to and securing the
repayment of debt issuances for the capital improvement program is property taxes. Refer to Note 6 for
additional information on the District's outstanding debt obligations.
ECONOMIC FACTORS, NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET,AND RATES
The District operates as an enterprise fund primarily funded by fees charged to external customers for
services.The District charges rates and fees to customers to cover the costs of operation and maintenance of
the sewage collection and treatment system as well as costs associated with its capital improvement
program. External factors that may affect the District's financial position include, but are not limited to the
following:
• Regulatory requirements becoming more stringent, causing the District to spend more on compliance,
both for operations and maintenance costs as well as capital improvement and replacement projects.
• The economic cycle, creating volatility with capacity/connection fee revenues as new development
projects are highly sensitive to the economic cycle.
10
December 21, 2023 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 129 of 461
Page 33 of 116
• Interest rate and/or investment return, which directly impacts investment earnings, borrowing costs,
and employer pension and OPEB contribution requirements.
• Inflation, as measured using the consumer price index (CPI). The CPI for the San Francis co-Oakland-
Hayward area directly impacts the cost-of-living adjustments provided in the employee MOUs. Higher
than anticipated inflation may also adversely impact spending for contracted services,energy,chemicals,
and other materials/supplies necessary for wastewater collection and treatment services.
• Changes in assessed property values, which affect the District's non-operating ad valorem secured
property tax revenue. When the housing market grows, overall assessed property values increase,
thereby increasing the District's property tax revenues. Conversely, any decline in the housing market
could decrease property values and correspondingly decrease ad valorem property tax receipts for the
District.
These factors, to the extent known, were considered in preparing the District's budget. In June 2023, the
District's Board of Directors adopted an operating and maintenance budget of $90.9 million and sewer
construction capital improvement budget of$71.2 million for the fiscal year ending June 30,2023. Following
a cost of service study, customer outreach, public noticing, and a Public Hearing stipulated by Proposition
218,on June 30,2023 the District's Board of Directors approved new sewer service charges for the two-year
timeframe spanning July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2025. The new sewer service charge rates reflect an overall
modest rate increase of 1%for the year ending June 30, 2024 and 4%for the year ending June 30,2025.
As designed in the District's financial model, steady but controlled sewer service charge rate increases help
prevent spikes in revenue needs from customers in future years when annual capital spending is expected
to significantly, but temporarily, outpace annual revenues. This pay-as-you-go approach, paired with
necessary debt financing,is designed with the intent of achieving rate stability and avoid volatility,benefiting
both the District and its customers. Primary drivers for the expansion of the capital improvement program
include the need to enhance and modernize the District's ageing infrastructure to meet new regulatory
requirements and ensure the sustainability of its infrastructure as the region's population grows driving an
increased demand for service capacity.

CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting Entity
The Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (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 unit.The component unit discussed in the following paragraph is
blended in the District's reporting entity because of the significance of its operational and
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 units 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 purposes,the component unit 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 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 Fin ancingAuthority(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 enjoyment of the public served by the District. The Authority has no
employees and the Board of Directors of the Authority 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 Authority.
B. Basis of Accounting
The District's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The
District applies all applicable Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
pronouncements for accounting and financial reporting guidance.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT AND SUMMARY 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 incurred, and net income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public
policy,management control,accountability,or other purposes.
Enterprise funds 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 full accrual basis of
accounting is required. With this measurement focus, all assets and liabilities of the
enterprise are recorded on its statement of net position, all revenues are recognized when
earned and all expenses,including depreciation,are recognized when incurred.
Enterprise funds 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 fund'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-funds are combined
into the single enterprise fund 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-fund.
Sewer Construction-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-fund 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.
Rate Stabilization Accounts (RSA) have been stablished by the Board and consist of book
accounting in Running Expense and Serwer Construction Funds. Deposits and withdrawals
to/from RSA require Board approval.

POLICIES (Continued)
C. Investments
Investments held at June 30, 2023 and 2022,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.
D. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The
District categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established
by generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy categorizes the inputs
to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels based on the extent to
which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted)in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
Level 2 inputs are inputs-other than quoted prices included within level 1 -that are
observable for an asset or liability,either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
If the fair value of an asset or liability is measured using inputs from more than one level of
the fair value hierarchy, the measurement is considered to be based on the lowest priority
level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
E. Prepaid Expenses
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are
recorded as prepaid items in the financial statements.
F. Parts and Supplies
Parts and supplies are valued at average cost and are used primarily for internal purposes.

G. Property,Plant, and Equipment
Purchased capital assets are stated at historical cost. Capital assets contributed to the District
are reported at acquisition value. 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.
Depreciation of exhaustible capital assets has been calculated using the straight-line method
over the asset's useful life as follows:
Years
Sewage Collection Facilities 75
Intangible Assets 75
Sewage Treatment Plant and Pumping Plants 40
Buildings 50
Furniture and Equipment 5 - 15
Motor Vehicles 7 - 15
H. Property Taxes
Property tax revenue is recognized in the fiscal year for which the tax is levied. The County
of Contra Costa levies, bills and collects property taxes for the District; all material amounts
are collected by June 30.
Property tax revenue recognized is 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 an additional 11/2 percent per month. Unsecured property tax is due on July 1 and
becomes delinquent on August 31. The penalty percentage rates are the same as secured
property tax.

L 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.
J. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions 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.
K. Lease
A lease is defined as a contract that conveys control of the right to use another entity's
nonfinancial asset(the underlying asset)as specified in the contract for a period of time in an
exchange or exchange-like transaction.
L. Prior Year Summarized Comparative Information
The basic financial statements include certain prior-year summarized comparative
information in total but not at the level of detail required for a presentation in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly,such information should be read
in conjunction with the District's financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2022,from
which the summarized information was derived.
M. New Governmental Accounting Standards Board(GASB)Statement Pronouncement
GASB Statement No. 96 - In May 2020, GASB Statement No. 96, Subscription-Based
Information Technology Arrangements (SBITAs) was issued. GASB Statement No. 96 (GASB
96) establishes uniform accounting and financial reporting requirements for SBITAs;
improves the comparability of government's financial statements; and enhances the
understandability,reliability,relevance,and consistency of information about SBITAs. GASB
96 applies to government agencies who are currently using information technology (IT)
software such as Office 365,Adobe,Zoom,and others as specified in their contracts.GASB 96
applies to all contracts meeting the definition of a SBITA, unless specifically excluded. As
defined in GASB Statement No. 96,paragraph 6, a SBITA is a contract that conveys control of
the right to use another party's (a SBITA vendor's) IT software, alone or in combination with
tangible capital assets (with underlying IT assets),as specified in the contract for a period of
time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction.

A Fair Value Hierarchy
The District categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy
established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the
valuation inputs used to measure fair value of the assets. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in
an active market for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs;
and Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.
The following is a summary of the fair value hierarchy of the fair value of investments of the
District as of June 30:

value securities based on the securities' relationship to benchmark quoted prices.
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; 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
term 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 may not
exceed five years, with the exception of Treasury Notes or Local Agency Investment Fund,-
however,investments can be held longer with Board approval.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the District's investments to market
interest rate fluctuation is provided by the following schedule that shows the distribution of
the District's investments by maturity,as of June 30:

Investments in any one issuer(other than U.S.Treasury securities,mutual funds,and external
investment pools) that represent 5 percent or more of total investments are as follows:
Reported Percentage of
Investment Type Amount Holdings
U.S.Federal Agency Securities-FHLB $13,500,000 8.1%
H. 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 government will not be able to recover the value
of its investment or collateral securities that are in 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. As a voluntary pool participant,the County Treasurer's
office transacts the District's investment decisions in compliance with the requirements of
the District's policy. The County 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
Investment Fund.

Discount Rate - The discount rate used to measure the Total Pension Liability (TPL) was
6.75%as of December 31,2022 and December 31,2 02 1.The projection of cash flows used to
determine the discount rate assumed employer and employee contributions will be made at
rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates. For this purpose,only employer
and employee contributions that are intended to fund benefits for current plan members and
their beneficiaries are included. Projected employer contributions that are intended to fund
the service costs for future plan members and their beneficiaries, as well as projected
contributions from future plan members, are not included. Based on those assumptions, the
Plan Fiduciary Net Position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit
payments for current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on
pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to
determine the TPL as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

NOTE 9-PENSION PLANS (Continued)
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined in 2023
using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected
returns, net of inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These returns are
combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future
real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage, adding expected inflation and
subtracting expected investment expenses and a risk margin. The target allocation and
projected arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class,after deducting inflation,
but before investment expenses,used in the derivation of the long-term expected investment
rate of return assumption are summarized in the following table:
Long-Term
Expected
Target Arithmetic Real
Asset Class Allocation Rate of Return
Large Cap U.S.Equity 10% 5.40%
Small Cap U.S.Equity 3% 6.17%
Developed International Equi 10% 6.13%

Opportunistic Real Estate 5% 8.SO%
Risk Parity 3% 3.80%
Hedge Funds 3% 2.40%
Total 100%
A change in the discount rate would affect the measurement of the Total Pension Liability
(TPL). A lower discount rate results in a higher TPL and higher discount rates results in a
lower TPL. Because the discount rate does not affect the measurement of assets, the
percentage change in the Net Pension Liability (NPL) can be very significant for a relatively
small change in the discount rate.The table below shows the sensitivity of the NPL to a one
percent decrease and a one percent increase in the discount rate at June 30, 2023:

(Continued)
The underlying mortality assumptions were based on the mortality improvement projected
generationally with Scale MP-21 and all other actuarial assumptions used in the July 1, 2022
valuation were based on the results of a July 1,2022 actuarial experience study for the period
of July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023.
The long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was determined using a
building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of
OPEB plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These
ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the
expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding
expected inflation.The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for
each major asset class are summarized in the following table:
Target Expected Real Rate
Asset Class Component Allocation of Return
Global Equity 50.0% 4.56%
Fixed Income 45.0% 0.78%
Cash 5.0% -0.50%
Total 100%
Assumed Long-Term Rate of Inflation 2.50%
Expected Long-Term Net Rate of Return,Rounded 5.25%
Discount Rate - The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 5.25%. The
projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that District
contributions will be made at rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates.
Based on those assumptions, the OPEB plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be
available to make all projected OPEB payments for current active and inactive employees and
beneficiaries.Therefore,the long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was
applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total OPEB liability.

* 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 et seq.of the State 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.

MEMORANDUM ON INTERNAL CONTROL
To the Board of Directors
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
Martinez, California
In planning and performing our audit of the basic financial statements of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary
District (District) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, we considered the District's internal control over financial reporting
(internal control) as a basis for designing our auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for
the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the District's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of the District's internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or
employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct
misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the District's financial
statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and was not
designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses. In addition, because
of inherent limitations in internal control, including the possibility of management override of controls,
misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected by such controls. Given these limitations
during our audit, we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material
weaknesses. However,material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
Included in the Schedule of Other Matters are recommendations not meeting the above definitions that we
believe to be of potential benefit to the District.
This communication is intended solely for the information and use of management, Board of Directors, others
within the organization, and agencies and pass-through entities and is not intended to be and should not be used
by anyone other than these specified parties.

NEW GASB PRONOUNCEMENTS OR PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET EFFECTIVE
The following comment represents new pronouncements taking affect in the next few years. We cite them here
to keep you informed of developments:
EFFECTIVE FISCAL YEAR 2023/24:
GASB 100—Accountinz for Chanzes and Error Corrections
The primary objective of this Statement is to enhance accounting and financial reporting requirements for
accounting changes and error corrections to provide more understandable, reliable, relevant, consistent, and
comparable information for making decisions or assessing accountability.
This Statement defines accounting changes as changes in accounting principles, changes in accounting
estimates, and changes to or within the financial reporting entity and describes the transactions or other events
that constitute those changes. As part of those descriptions, for(1) certain changes in accounting principles and
(2) certain changes in accounting estimates that result from a change in measurement methodology, a new
principle or methodology should be justified on the basis that it is preferable to the principle or methodology
used before the change. That preferability should be based on the qualitative characteristics of financial
reporting—understandability, reliability, relevance, timeliness, consistency, and comparability. This Statement
also addresses corrections of errors in previously issued financial statements.
This Statement prescribes the accounting and financial reporting for(1) each type of accounting change and(2)
error corrections. This Statement requires that (a) changes in accounting principles and error corrections be
reported retroactively by restating prior periods, (b) changes to or within the financial reporting entity be
reported by adjusting beginning balances of the current period, and (c) changes in accounting estimates be
reported prospectively by recognizing the change in the current period. The requirements of this Statement for
changes in accounting principles apply to the implementation of a new pronouncement in absence of specific
transition provisions in the new pronouncement. This Statement also requires that the aggregate amount of
adjustments to and restatements of beginning net position, fund balance, or fund net position, as applicable, be
displayed by reporting unit in the financial statements.
This Statement requires disclosure in notes to financial statements of descriptive information about accounting
changes and error corrections, such as their nature. In addition, information about the quantitative effects on
beginning balances of each accounting change and error correction should be disclosed by reporting unit in a
tabular format to reconcile beginning balances as previously reported to beginning balances as restated.
Furthermore, this Statement addresses how information that is affected by a change in accounting principle or
error correction should be presented in required supplementary information (RSI) and supplementary
information (SI). For periods that are earlier than those included in the basic financial statements, information
presented in RSI or SI should be restated for error corrections, if practicable, but not for changes in accounting
principles.

SCHEDULE OF OTHER MATTERS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30,2023
EFFECTIVE FISCAL YEAR 2024/25:
GASB 101—Compensated Absences
The objective of this Statement is to better meet the information needs of financial statement users by updating
the recognition and measurement guidance for compensated absences. That objective is achieved by aligning the
recognition and measurement guidance under a unified model and by amending certain previously required
disclosures.
Recognition And Measurement
This Statement requires that liabilities for compensated absences be recognized for (1) leave that has not been
used and (2) leave that has been used but not yet paid in cash or settled through noncash means. A liability
should be recognized for leave that has not been used if(a)the leave is attributable to services already rendered,
(b) the leave accumulates, and (c) the leave is more likely than not to be used for time off or otherwise paid in
cash or settled through noncash means. Leave is attributable to services already rendered when an employee has
performed the services required to earn the leave. Leave that accumulates is carried forward from the reporting
period in which it is earned to a future reporting period during which it may be used for time off or otherwise
paid or settled. In estimating the leave that is more likely than not to be used or otherwise paid or settled, a
government should consider relevant factors such as employment policies related to compensated absences and
historical information about the use or payment of compensated absences. However, leave that is more likely
than not to be settled through conversion to defined benefit postemployment benefits should not be included in a
liability for compensated absences.
This Statement requires that a liability for certain types of compensated absences—including parental leave,
military leave, and jury duty leave—not be recognized until the leave commences. This Statement also requires
that a liability for specific types of compensated absences not be recognized until the leave is used.
This Statement also establishes guidance for measuring a liability for leave that has not been used, generally
using an employee's pay rate as of the date of the financial statements. A liability for leave that has been used
but not yet paid or settled should be measured at the amount of the cash payment or noncash settlement to be
made. Certain salary-related payments that are directly and incrementally associated with payments for leave
also should be included in the measurement of the liabilities.
With respect to financial statements prepared using the current financial resources measurement focus, this
Statement requires that expenditures be recognized for the amount that normally would be liquidated with
expendable available financial resources.
Notes To Financial Statements
This Statement amends the existing requirement to disclose the gross increases and decreases in a liability for
compensated absences to allow governments to disclose only the net change in the liability (as long as they
identify it as a net change). In addition, governments are no longer required to disclose which governmental
funds typically have been used to liquidate the liability for compensated absences.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30,2023
GASB 101—Compensated Absences(Continued)
How the Changes in this Statement Will Improve Financial Reporting
The unified recognition and measurement model in this Statement will result in a liability for compensated
absences that more appropriately reflects when a government incurs an obligation. In addition,the model can be
applied consistently to any type of compensated absence and will eliminate potential comparability issues
between governments that offer different types of leave.
The model also will result in a more robust estimate of the amount of compensated absences that a government
will pay or settle, which will enhance the relevance and reliability of information about the liability for
compensated absences.

REQUIRED COMMUNICATIONS
To the Board of Directors
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
Martinez, California
We have audited the basic financial statements of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (District) for the
year ended June 30, 2023. Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our
responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards as well as certain information related to the planned
scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information orally during our discussion with the
Audit Committee on July 7, 2023. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the
following information related to our audit
Significant Audit Matters
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Accounting Policies —Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies.
The significant accounting policies used by the District are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. No
new accounting policies were adopted, and the application of existing policies was not changed during the year,
except as indicated below:
The following pronouncements became effective,but did not have a material effect on the financial statements:
GASB 91 — Conduit Debt Obligations
GASB 94— Public-Private and Public-Public Partnerships and Availability Payment
Arrangements
GASB 96— Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements
GASB 99— Omnibus 2022,paragraphs 11-25
Unusual Transactions, Controversial or Emerging Areas-We noted no transactions entered into by District
during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have
been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.
Accounting Estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on
management's current judgments. Those judgments are normally based on knowledge and experience about past
and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive
because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events
affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the District's
financial statements are depreciation, claims liability and actuarial estimates for net pension liability and net
other post-employment benefits liability.

December 21, 2023 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 204 of 461
Page 108 of 116
The value of the assets, liability and assumptions used to determine annual required contributions for
other post-employment benefits is determined by an actuary study provided to the District as of June 30,
2023. The value of the District's net pension asset was obtained from an actuarial valuation provided by
CCCERA.
Management's estimate of depreciation is based on the estimated useful lives of the capital assets, and
its estimate of claims is based on the District Attorney's estimates of current and potential litigation, as
well as actuary studies provided for the District as of June 30, 2023. We evaluated the key factors and
assumptions used to develop the depreciation expense and claims liability and reviewed the current
actuary study and determined that they are reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken
as a whole.
Disclosures-The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit,
other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. We did
not propose any audit adjustments that, in our judgement, could have a significant effect, either individually or
in the aggregate, on the District's financial reporting process.
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely uncorrected misstatements identified
during the audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management.
We have no such misstatements to report to the Board of Directors.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing
matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial statements or the
auditor's report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in a management representation
letter dated November 29,2023.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting
matters, similar to obtaining a "second opinion" on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an
accounting principle to the governmental unit's financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor's
opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant
to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge,there were no such
consultations with other accountants.

Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing
standards, with management each year prior to retention as the District's auditors. However, these discussions
occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our
retention.
Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information that accompanies and
supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding 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 did not audit the required supplementary information and do not express an
opinion or provide any assurance on the required supplementary information.
We were engaged to report on the supplementary information,which accompany the financial statements but are
not required supplementary information. With respect to this supplemental information, we made certain
inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to
determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate
and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplemental
information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial
statements themselves.
This information is intended solely for the use of the Board of Directors and management and is not intended to
be, and should not be,used by anyone other than these specified parties.
