` MEETING DATE: February 27, 1989
SUBJECT :June 30, 1988 Audit and Management
letter.
EXHIBITS ATTACHED une 30 , 1988 Audit and Management
�V letter.
RECOMMENDATION :Accept and file the audit, management '
letter and the Staff ' s responses to same.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT :Attached items.
DESCRIPTION: The City' s Audit report for. the period ending June
30, 1988 is attached as a part of this agenda statement.
The City received an unqualified audit for the year ended June
30, 1988. The auditor states that the financial statements
"present fairly the financial position of the City of
Dublin. . .and the results of operations and the changes in
financial position. . . "
The City Council' s audit subcommittee met with the City' s auditor
and subsequently met with the City staff to discuss the audit and
the auditor ' s management letter. The concerns and comments
discussed at the meetings of the Committee are incorporated
herein.
The management letter contains items which the auditor felt
needed to be considered by the Staff and City Council. The
balance of this agenda statement expresses the status of the
items which the auditor enumerated in his management letter:
1. The City Staff brought to the attention of the
auditor the newly, computerized, financial reports
being generated in the Finance Department. The auditor
expressed a desire to incorporate these reports with
the final audited reports at year end. A meeting is
planned between the Auditor and the Finance Director
later in the year to review the interim financial
reports in light of new Government Accounting Standards
Board statements.
2. During the current fiscal year the City began to
budget the Capital Improvements within the funding
source. This process will conclude with the closing of
the numerous -CIP funds. At the end of this fiscal year
the various CIP funds will be closed.
3 . The conclusion of the steps identified in response
to item#2 above will automatically result in the
elimination of the various "due to" and "due from"
accounts in the Capital Improvement Funds.
4. The audit committee disagreed with the auditor in
this matter. It was felt that the monthly
capitalization of the interest earnings which are held
and used by the Trustee (Bank of California) to pay off
the debt service can actually lead to a less clear
understanding of the amounts of money actually
disbursed for the construction of the Civic Center
during the fiscal year. The committee and staff agreed
that it would prefer to continue to capitalize interest
at the end of the year. So long as the Council agrees
and understands why this is being done the result will
not have negative affect on the financial information
being presented to Council any more than for other
expenditure data which is allocated to specific
accounts at year end.
Yte Q. .
C �
5 . The City obtained an accounts receivable software
program, which is designed to produce automatic monthly
billings of fees due to the City. Staff intends to
activate this program as soon as time allows. The
current projection is to make this software package
active in fiscal year 89-90 . Once activated all
billings will be generated by the Finance Department
based upon internal documents received from all
appropriate departments.
6. The Committee recommended that a resolution be
drafted for the Council' s review and approval setting
up the guidelines for allocating interest income. These
guidelines will, for example, include limits for
allocating interest to funds that owe money to the
General Fund or have an average monthly cash balance of
less than $100,000. The resolution will be presented at
a subsequent Council Meeting.
7 . The Committee recommended that the Staff prepare a
resolution that identified the criteria for voiding any
aged outstanding check issued by the City. It is
intended that the limitations identified in the
California Banking Codes and/or the California Uniform
Commercial Codes, which define when a check has aged
beyond the point when it can be negotiated, be used to
establish the criteria.
8. The- Finance Department has closed the Checking
accounts previously held in the Central Bank. During
the time the accounts were open the City earned an
annual rate of 5. 3% compared to the annual rate of 4. 30
at Security Pacific National Bank, where the City
currently has its operating account.
9. The Council approved a resolution in September
1988 which addressed the question of employee vesting
in the General Leave plan.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council accept,
approve and file the June 30, 1988 audit and management letter
along with Staff ' s response to the management letter.

AUDITOR'S OPINION ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
i_..i
To the City Council
City of Dublin, California
:1] We have examined the financial statements of the City of Dublin as of and
for the year ended June 30, 1988 as listed in the table of contents. Our
examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records
and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. The combined and combining financial statements of the
City of Dublin as of and for the year ended June 30, 1987, were examined
by other auditors whose report dated November 20, 1987, expressed an
unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairy
the financial position of the City of Dublin at June 30, 1988 and the
results of its operations and the changes in financial position of its
proprietary fund types for the years then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent
with that of the preceding year except for the changes, with which we
concur, in accounting for special assessment funds and compensated
absences as discussed in Note 2.
Our examination was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
financial statements taken as a whole. The combining and individual
account group financial statements listed in the table of contents are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part
of the financial statements of the City of Dublin. Such information has
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the examination of
the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a
- whole

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
� 1
The City of Dublin was incorporated February 1, 1982 under the
Municipal Organization Act of 1977. The City operates under a
Council-Manager form of government and provides services to residents
�..� primarily by contracting with other governmental agencies and private
contractors.
a The accounting policies of the City of Dublin conform to generally
:a accepted accounting principles as applicable to governments. The
following is a summary of the more significant policies:
A. Principles of Combination
The financial statements of the City of Dublin include the financial
activities of the City as well as separate legal entities which are
>' controlled by or dependent on the City. Determination of "controlled
by or dependent on" is based on the National Council on Governmental
Accounting Statement 3 "Defining the Governmental Reporting Entity" .
This statement deals with existence as an organized entity,
governmental character, and autonomy. The financial statements
include the financial activities of the following separate legal
entity:
The Dublin Information, Inc. (DII) is a separate legal entity
Ci established to assist in providing financing to the City. See Note
5. The DII meets the criterion of ability to significantly influence
operations and accountability for fiscal matters for inclusion in the
- City's reporting entity. The financial activities of the DII have
been included in the Dublin Information, Inc. Enterprise Fund.
B. Fund Accounting
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds and
account groups, each of which is considered a separate accounting
entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate
set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities,
fund equity, revenues, and expenditures, or expenses, as appropriate.
Government resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual
funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the
means by which spending activities are controlled. The various funds
are grouped, in the financial statements in this report, into seven
-- generic fund types and three broad fund categories as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1 r Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
General Fund-- The General Fund is the general operating fund of the
� . City. It is used to account for all financial resources except those
required to be accounted for in another fund.
Special Revenue Funds-- Special Revenue Funds are used to account for
�,J the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than major capital
projects) that are -legally restricted to expenditures for specific
purposes.
Capital Projects Funds-- Capital Projects Funds are used to account
r.. for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction
�.� of major capital facilities (other than those financed by Proprietary
Funds) .
Debt Service Funds-- Debt Service Funds are established to account for
the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, interest and
principal on long-term debt.
PROPRIETARY FUNDS
Enterprise Funds - Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations
(a). that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private
business enterprises where--the intent of the governing body is that
the costs and expenses, including depreciation, of providing goods or
services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or
recovered primarily through user charges; or (b) where the governing
body has decided that periodic determination of revenues earned,
expenses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital
='! maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability, or
other purposes.
Internal Service Funds -- Internal Service Funds are used to account
for the financing of goods or services provided by one department or
agency to other departments or agencies of the City, or to other
governments, on a cost-reimbursement basis.
FIDUCIARY FUNDS
Agency Funds-- Agency Funds are used to account for assets held by the
City as an agent for individuals, private organizations, other
governments and/or other funds, in accordance with the conditions of
the' agreements. Agency funds are purely custodial and thus do not
involve measurement of results of operations.

long-term liabilities associated with a fund are determined by its

are accounted for on a spending or "financial flow" measurement

focus. This means that only current assets and current liabilities
1'71 are generally included on their balance sheets. Their reported fund
balance (net current assets) is considered a measure of "available
spendable resources" . Governmental fund operating statements present
increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases
(expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets.
?.L Accordingly, they are said to present a summary of sources and uses of
"available spendable resources" during a period.
Fixed assets used in governmental fund type operations (general fixed
assets) are accounted for in the General Fixed Assets Account Group,
rather than in governmental funds. No depreciation has been provided
on general fixed assets.
x;y
_ The City has elected not to capitalize its infrastructure which would
consist of nonenterprise expenditures relating to roads, bridges,
curbs, gutters, streets, sidewalks, drainage systems, and lighting
systems.
All fixed assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical
cost if actual historical cost is not available. Donated fixed assets
are valued at their estimated fair value on the date donated.
The account group is not a "fund" . It is concerned only with the
measurement of financial position. It is not involved with
measurement of results of operations. Because of their spending
L measurement focus, expenditure recognition for governmental fund types
is limited to exclude amounts represented by noncurrent liabilities.
Since they do not affect net current assets, such long-term amounts
are not recognized as governmental fund type expenditures or fund
" liabilities.
A1',1 proprietary funds are accounted for on a cost of services or
"capital maintenance" measurement focus, which means that all assets
and all liabilities associated with their activity are included on
their balance sheets. Their reported fund equity is segregated into
contributed capital and retained earnings components. Proprietary
fund type operating statements present increases (revenues) and
decreases (expenses) in total assets.
Depreciation of all exhaustible fixed assets used by proprietary funds
is charged as an expense against their operations. Accumulated
depreciation is reported on proprietary fund balance sheets.

Depreciation has been provided over the estimated useful lives of the
assets using the straight line method. The estimated useful lives are

D. Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or
r expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial
• j statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the
measurements made., regardless of the measurement focus applied.
All governmental funds and Expendable Trust Funds are accounted for
using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Their revenues are
.,� recognized when they become measurable and available as net current
assets. Sales taxes are considered "measurable" when in the hands of
._.i intermediary collecting governments and are recognized as revenue at
that time. Anticipated refunds of such taxes are recorded as
liabilities and reduction of revenue when they are measurable and
their validity seems certain.
Expenditures are generally recognized under the modified accrual basis
of accounting when the related fund liability is incurred. An
exception to this general rule is principal and interest on general
long-term debt which is recognized when due.
All Proprietary Funds are accounted for using the accrual basis c-f
accounting. Their revenues are recognized when they are earned, and
their expenses are recognized when they are incurred.
E. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data
reflected in the financial statements;
1. Prior to June 30, the City Manager submits to the City Council a
proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the
following July 1. The operating budget includes proposed
expenditures and the means of financing them.
2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
3. Prior to July 1, the budget is legally enacted through passage of
a resolution.
4. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts
within an activity, within any fund; however, any revisions that
alter the total expenditures of any fund must be approved by the
City Council.

F. Appropriation Lapses
In all funds unexpended appropriations lapse at year end.
G. Cash and Investments
The City pools idle cash from all funds except for the Cash and Investments
with Fiscal Agent for the purpose of increasing income through investment
activities. Investments are carried at cost which approximates market
value. Interest income on investments is allocated on the basis of average
month-end cash and investment balances in each fund.
H. Property Tax
Alameda County assesses properties and bills for and collects property
taxes as follows:
Secured Unsecured
Valuation dates March 1 March 1
Lien/levy dates March 1 March 1
Due dates 50% on November 1 July 1
50% on February 1
Delinquent as of December 10 (for November) August 31

The term "unsecured" refers to taxes on personal property other than real
estate, land and buildings. These taxes are secured by liens on the
property being taxed.
Property taxes levied are recorded as revenue and receivables, net of
estimated uncollectibles, in the fiscal year of levy.

Accounts.
The City accounts for compensated absences (unpaid vacation and sick leave)
in accordance with NCGA Statement No. 4. In governmental funds,
compensated absences are recorded as expenditures in the year paid, as it
is the City's policy to liquidate any unpaid vacation or sick leave at June
30 from currently available expendable resources rather than future
t� resources. Accordingly, the entire unpaid liability for the governmental
funds is recorded in the General Fund. In prior years this liability was
recorded as a reservation to fund balance.

Special Assessment and Special Revenue Funds
Effective July 1, 1987 the City implemented Governmental Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 6, Accounting and Financial Reporting for
Special Assessments, the effect of which was to eliminate the Special
I Assessment. Fund type for financial reporting purposes. All Special
'J Assessment funds except the San Ramon Road Specific Plan Assessment
District Fund discussed below were recategorized as Special Revenue
Funds as of July 1, 1987. The fund balances of these Special
Assessment Funds at July 1, 1987 were $71,127, which was recategorized
as Special Revenue Fund Balance as of that date. In addition, $1,456
in Special Revenue Fund balance deficits excluded in error from the
prior year financial statements have been included as of July 1, 1987.
San Ramon Road Specific Plan Assessment District
The San Ramon Road Specific Plan Assessment District Fund was
recategorized as an Agency Fund as of July 1, 1987. Included in this
Fund at that date were $770,000 principal amount of Special Assessment
bonds. These Bonds are a limited obligation issue secured solely by
unpaid assessments on property owners of the San Ramon Road Specific

Federal Aid Urban grant funding had been recorded in error in the General Fund
as receivable from other governments., The City also determined in 1988 that it
'-' had accrued $123,703 of sales tax receivables in excess of the amount actually
collectible as of June 30, 1987. The City analyzed its deposits account in 1988
and as a result wrote off $26,476 of deposits from prior periods. General Fund
balance has been restated as of July 1, 1987 to reflect the elimination of these
amounts.
The City also began to account for compensated absences on the accrual basis in
1988 instead of the cash basis. Accordingly, General Fund balance has been
restated as of July 1, 1987 to eliminate $36,203 of accumulated vested
compensated absences which had previously been reflected as a reservation of
General Fund balance.

In order to finance the construction of the Dublin Civic Center
building, the City on March 1, 1988 signed a non-cancellable
twenty-two year lease with Dublin Information Inc. (DII) , a non-profit
corporation which used the lease as collateral for the issuance of the
1988 Certificates of Participation. The lease provides for
semi-annual payments which are sufficient to pay principal and
interest due on the 1988 Refunding Certificates of Participation.
'A Ownership of the Civic Center Building reverts to the City at the end
r..•a
of the lease.
Since the lease is in essence a financing arrangement with ownership
of the financed assets reverting to the City, the assets and the
related debt evidenced by the 1988 Refunding Certificates of
Participation have been included in the City's financial statements.
The refunding Certificates of Participation will be repaid from
general fund revenues.

Note 6 - Pension Plan
A. Plan Description
The City contributes to the California Public Employees Retirement
�- System (PERS) , an agent multiple-employer public employee retirement
system that acts as a common investment and administrative agent for
participating members in California.
All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to
participate in PERS. Benefits vest after five years of service and are
payable monthly for life upon retirement. Employees who retire at age
60 with 5 years of credited service receive a benefit equal to 10% of
their average monthly salary for their last three years of employment
up to a maximum of 2% of their annual salary. A credited service year
is one year of full time employment.
PERS requires City employees to contribute 7€ of their annual salary
and the City pays the remainder. These benefit provisions and all
other requirements are established by state statute and city
ordinance. Contributions necessary to fund PERS on an actuarial basis
are determined by PERS and its Board of Administration.

Note 6 - Pension Plan (Continued)
B. Funding Status and Progress
r '{
'.a The amount shown below as the "pension benefit obligation" is a
standardized disclosure measure of the present value of pension
benefits, adjusted for the effects of projected salary increases and
step-rate benefits estimated to be payable in the future as a result of
employee service to date. The measure is intended to help users assess
the funding status of PERS on a going-concern basis, assess progress
made in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due and
make comparisons among employers. The measure is the actuarial present
value of credited projected benefits and is independent of the funding
17) method used to determine contributions to the PERS.
i
The pension benefit obligation was computed as part of an actuarial
valuation performed as of June 30, 1987. Significant actuarial
assumptions used in the valuation include (a) a rate of return on the
investment of present and future assets of 8.5% a year compounded
annually, (b) projected salary increases of 5.75% a year compounded
annually, attributable to inflation, plus additional projected salary
increases attributable to seniority/merit, and (d) postretirement
benefit increases adjusted 2% annually after the fist two years of
retirement.
Total over-funded pension benefit obligation applicable to the City's
employees was $31,021 at June 30, 1987, as follows:
Pension benefit obligation:
_ Retirees and beneficiaries currently receiving
benefits and terminated employees not yet
receiving benefits -0-
Current employees:
Accumulated employee contributions including

obligation LLl 021
C. Actuarially Determined Contribution Requirements and Contribution
Made
PERS uses the Entry Age Normal Actuarial Cost Method which is a
projected benefit cost method. That is, it takes into account those
benefits that are expected to be earned in the future as well as those
already accrued.

CITY OF DUBLIN
Notes to the Financial-Statements
Note 6 - Pension Plan (Continued)
j According to this cost method, the normal cost for an employee is the level
„ amount which would fund the projected benefit if it were paid annually from
date of employment until retirement. PERS uses a modification of the Entry
Age Cost Method in which the employer's total normal cost is expressed as a
level percentage of payroll. PERS also uses the level percentage of
payroll method to amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities. The
amortization period of the unfunded actuarial liability ends on June 30,
2000.
The significant actuarial assumptions used to compute the actuarially
determined contribution requirement are the same as those used to compute
�1 the pension benefit obligation, as previously described.
Contributions to PERS are made in accordance with actuarially determined
requirements computed through an actuarial valuation performed as of year
end. The PERS contributions which were entirely paid by the City consisted
of the following for fiscal year ended June 30, 1988:

The Honorable Mayor and
City Council
City of Dublin
Dublin, California
We have examined the financial statements of the City of Dublin for the
year ended June 30, 1988, and have issued our report thereon dated
November 23, 1988. As part of our examination, we made a study and
evaluation of the system of internal control to the extent we considered
necessary to evaluate the system as required by generally accepted
auditing standards. The purpose of our study and evaluation was to
determine the nature, timing, and extent of the auditing procedures
necessary for expressing an opinion on the financial statements. Our
study and evaluation was more limited than would be necessary to express
an opinion on the system of internal accounting control taken as a whole.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of
internal accounting control. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates
and judgements by management are required to assess the expected benefits
and related costs of control procedures. The objectives of a system are
to provide management with reasonable, but not absolute assurance that
assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition,
and that transactions are executed in accordance with management's
authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of inherent limitations in any system of internal accounting
control, errors or irregularities may nevertheless occur and not be
detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the system to future
periods is subject to the risk that procedures may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the
procedures may deteriorate.
Our study and evaluation made for the limited purpose described in the
first paragraph would not necessarily disclose all material weaknesses in
the system. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the system of
internal accounting control of the City of Dublin taken at whole. Our
study and evaluation disclosed no condition that we believe to be a
material weakness. However, our examination disclosed the following areas
in which internal controls could be strengthened.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPROVE=S IN INTERNAL CONTROL
RECOMMENDATION 1 - THE FORMAT OF THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT AND INTERNAL
MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORTS SHOULD BE THE SAME WHEREVER
POSSIBLE,
The Finance Department has recently instituted a series of monthly 1r
financial reports which summarize information by fund type. The format of
the annual financial report should be conformed with the monthly report
format as much as possible. We have already discussed this recommendation
with the Finance Director and will work with him to implement it.
RECOMMENDATION 2 - OLD CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDS SHOULD BE CLOSED
The City currently has over sixty Capital Projects Funds. According to
City staff, many of these Capital Project Funds could be closed, as the
related project has been completed or has never been started. The City
should review its Capital Project Funds and all which are not expected to
incur additional activity should be closed.
In addition, the City should consider reducing the number of new capital
projects funds by combining closely related projects.
RECOMMENDATION 3 - CAPITAL PROJECTS DUE (TO) FROM BALANCES SHOULD BE
ELIMINATED
During our audit we noted that all Capital Projects Funds showed a
$2,114,968 balance Due To Other Funds and a $2,093,695 balance Due From
Other Funds. The City should eliminate these balances by accounting for
the cash transfers which caused them as inter-fund transfers.
RECOMMENDATION 4 - INTEREST COSTS INCURRED ON THE CIVIC CENTER PROJECT
SHOULD BE CAPITALIZED AS CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS
During our audit we noted that interest costs incurred on the Civic Center
Project had not been capitalized. Generally accepted accounting
principles require that all costs incurred in acquiring an asset and
preparing it for its intended use should be capitalized. This requirement
includes interest costs. The City should capitalize all costs, including
interest, incurred on the Civic Center Project as construction in
progress.

RECOMMEND, JNS FOR IMPROVEMENTS IN INTERN. XNTROL
RECOMMENDATION 5 - BILLING AND COLLECTION PROCEDURES FOR DEVELOPER
ACCOUNTS SHOULD BE REVIEWED
The City requires cash deposits from developers to finance work done by
the City on their projects. During our audit we noted that the City's
expenditures on several of these deposit accounts exceeded the amounts of
the deposits.
We understand the Finance Department has changed its accounting procedures
in order to better control individual deposit balances. However, the City
should also review its procedures for billing and collecting differences
such as those noted above. In order to minimize any potential collection
problems,` the Finance Department should prepare an aged trial balance of
outstanding balances to assist the City Engineer in collecting these
balances.
In addition, the City should consider increasing the amount of the
deposits required.
RECOMMENDATION 6 - INTEREST INCOME ALLOCATION PROCEDURES SHOULD BE REVISED
In prior years, interest income was allocated to each fund based on
month-end cash balances, which resulted in certain funds receiving
interest allocations even though their cash balances represented amounts
due to the General Fund for expenditures on their behalf. The General
Fund paid all the liabilities of these funds and was reimbursed by them
after month-end.
The City should revise its interest allocation method to allocate interest
based on each fund's cash balance after adjustment for its balance due to
or from other funds. This method would properly compensate those funds
which finance the activities of other funds.
We understand the Finance Department is in the process of implementing
this recommendation.
RECOMMENDATION 7 - OLD OUTSTANDING CHECKS SHOULD BE CLEARED
The City has several old outstanding checks on its bank reconciliations.
These outstanding checks should be reviewed with the City Attorney to
determine the City's legal obligations to the payees. The City should
then take the steps necessary to remove these old outstanding checks from
its bank reconciliations.
RECOMMENDATION 8 - THE CITY SHOULD CLOSE OLD BANK ACCOUNTS
The City changed'.banks several years ago but still has accounts open in
the old bank with $17,809 and $2,144 in the old general and payroll
accounts, respectively. These accounts should be closed and the balances
transferred to the current checking accounts.

RECOMMENDATION 9 - PERSONNEL POLICIES SHOULD BE REVISED TO SPECIFY WHICH
DAY AN EMPLOYEE'S RIGHT TO ACCRUED COMPENSATED
ABSENCES VESTS
During our audit of payroll, we noted the City has established personnel
policies defining accrued compensated absences such as accrued vacation I.
and sick leave. These policies do not address the question of when an
employee's right to these compensated absences vests. Personnel policies,
should be revised to specify which day an employee's right to accrued
compensated absences vests.
We wish to express our appreciation for the courtesy and cooperation
extended to us by Phil Molina and his staff during our examination.
