October 27, 2006

To the Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council and Citizens of the City of Santa Cruz, California:

Comprehensive Annual Financial Report In accordance with the City Charter, the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the City of Santa Cruz for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 is submitted for your information and review. Various financing covenants and regulations associated with restricted funding sources also require the City of Santa Cruz, California (City) to publish a complete set of financial statements presented in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and audited by a firm of licensed certified public accountants. Pursuant to the requirements noted above, we hereby issue the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the City of Santa Cruz, California for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. This report consists of management's representations concerning the finances of the City of Santa Cruz. Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all the information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the City of Santa Cruz has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the government's assets from loss, theft or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City of Santa Cruz's financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City of Santa Cruz's comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects. Caporicci & Larson, a firm of licensed certified public accountants, has audited the City of Santa Cruz's financial statements. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the City of Santa Cruz for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based on the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unqualified opinion that the City of Santa Cruz’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor's report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.

i

The independent audit of the financial statements of the City of Santa Cruz was part of a broader, federally mandated "Single Audit" designed to meet the needs of federal grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Audit engagements require the independent auditor to report not only on the fair presentation of the financial statements, but also on the audited government's internal controls and compliance with legal requirements, with special emphasis on internal controls and legal requirements involving the administration of federal awards. These reports are available in the City of Santa Cruz’s separately issued Single Audit Report. GAAP require that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City of Santa Cruz's MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors. Profile of the Government The City of Santa Cruz, incorporated in 1866, is located on the northern part of the Monterey Bay approximately 74 miles south of San Francisco and 30 miles from San Jose. The City of Santa Cruz was first founded in 1769 by the Spanish explorer Don Gaspar de Portola, who, along with Father Junipero Serra, began land based settlement in the area. Santa Cruz is the county seat for the County of Santa Cruz, and is a charter city which operates under the provisions of a voter-approved charter. The City has an area of 12 square miles and an estimated population of 56,925 as of January 2006. Santa Cruz is the home to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) which first opened in 1965 and has a current enrollment of over 15,000 students. UCSC has received worldwide recognition in the past few years for its high quality academic programs and sponsored research programs such as the California Institute for Quantitative Biomedical Research (QB3), the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS), and the Laboratory for Adaptive Optics. The major industries include agriculture, tourism, manufacturing, food processing, and technology. Like other cities in California, the City of Santa Cruz has limited ability to set tax rates. The State Constitution establishes a maximum rate for property tax and limits the growth of assessed value. Prop 13 sets the limit for increases of the property tax rate to 2% per year, but upon sale, full value becomes the assessed value. The property tax collected is allocated among the jurisdictions in the City's tax rate areas based on criteria established by the state legislature. The rates and tax base of two of the City's other major general revenues , sales and use tax and motor vehicle in lieu fees (VLF), are also controlled by the legislature. Changes to existing local taxes and any new taxes require voter approval. Taxes used for general purposes are subject to approval by a simple majority of voters while taxes levied for specific purposes require a twothirds majority of voters. Assessments must be approved by a two-thirds vote with voting rights apportioned based on the amount of the assessment. In addition, fees for facilities and services are subject to requirements that they not be set at levels that exceed the reasonable costs of providing services. As a result, fund balances generated by differences between fee revenue and related expense are retained and designated for services and facilities that benefit fee payers. The City of Santa Cruz has operated under the council-manager form of government since its incorporation in 1866. Policy-making and legislative authority are vested in a seven member governing council consisting of the Mayor and six Council Members. The City Council is responsible, among other things, for passing ordinances, adopting the budget, approving nominees to commissions, and hiring the City Manager, City Clerk and City Attorney. The City Manager is responsible for carrying out the policies and ordinances of the City Council, for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the City and for appointing the heads of the various departments. The council is elected on a non-partisan basis. Council Members serve four-year staggered terms, with either three or four Council Members elected every two years. The Mayor is selected by a majority of the City Council and serves a one year term. The Mayor and Council Members are elected at large and all are subject to two term limits. ii

The City of Santa Cruz provides a broad range of services including police and fire protection, construction and maintenance of streets, parks, flood control and other infrastructure, a wharf facility, recreational and cultural activities including a performing arts center and human services programs. It also operates municipal utilities for water, wastewater, storm water, refuse collection, recycling and landfill disposal in addition to self supporting enterprise operations for parking facilities and a golf course. The water utility provides water service beyond the municipal boundaries and has a total service population of approximately 90,000. Certain infrastructure construction and community development activities are provided through a legally separate redevelopment agency. The Council sits as the agency's board and it functions, in essence, as a department of the City. Therefore, the City of Santa Cruz Redevelopment Agency has been included as an integral part of the City of Santa Cruz’s financial statements. Many major public services delivered within the City's boundaries, including education, and public transportation are provided by other agencies. The City of Santa Cruz is not financially accountable for the operations of the franchisees or these government agencies. As required by the City Charter, an annual budget is adopted by the City Council no later than the first regular meeting in July for the fiscal year beginning July first. As part of the budget process, all City departments submit budget requests for the next fiscal year. These requests are reviewed, and a final City Manager recommended budget showing estimated revenues and expenditures of the City is prepared. This proposed budget is transmitted to the City Council and made available to the public for review. Study sessions and a public hearing are conducted before final adoption of the budget by the City Council. The City Manager is authorized to approve appropriation transfers within any department up to a specified amount; however, any new appropriation or appropriation transfer between departments requires approval by the City Council. Several supplemental appropriations were necessary during the year and are reflected in the budget amounts in the financial statements. Expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations at the department level. The Council reviews budget results at the mid-year review and at budget adoption. Redevelopment budgets are adopted annually along with an annual report. The ongoing review and long range planning focus for financial management provides numerous opportunities to identify and respond to changes in revenues and expenditures and in community priorities. Factors Affecting Financial Condition We think that the information presented in the financial statements is best understood when it is considered from the broader perspective of the context within which the City of Santa Cruz operates. Economic Conditions and Outlook The City of Santa Cruz’s economic growth began to slow during the FY 2002 fiscal year and declined significantly through FY 2004. Tax revenues have begun to show positive growth in FY 2005 and FY 2006. However, significant labor cost increases and a continued sluggish economy have resulted in projecting a potential budget deficit for FY 2007. The local economy is linked to a large degree to the economy of the nearby Silicon Valley region, whose growth continues to lag. Over the last four year period, ending with fiscal year 2006, there has been substantial growth in assessed value of real property. The assessed value is approximately $5.7 billion which is an increase of $500.0 or 9.6% over FY 2005. Property Tax revenues are up $5.9 million or 36% over the previous year.

iii

An important event affecting City revenues took place in August 2005. At a special election called by the City Council, voters approved, by a 58% majority, continuation of a franchise tax on municipal utilities. This tax was previously charged as a type of fee which had been deemed invalid in recent court cases without voter approval. Another significant event that took place in recent years was the approval of a ¼ cent transactions and use tax by the voters. On October 8, 2003, the California Governor approved SB 566 which authorized cities to seek voter approval to levy a transactions and use tax in multiples of 0.25%. City Council authorized submitting Measure F, the ¼ cent sales tax measure, to the voters in March, 2003. This is a five-year general tax which was approved by a 69% majority and is effective July 1, 2006. In November 2006, the voters approved Measure H, making the Measure F ¼ cent sales tax permanent and approving an additional ¼ cent sales tax to become effective April 1, 2007. Historical Trend Information Property Tax The historical trend for property tax has been very positive showing substantial growth given the assessed value of property is approximately $5.7 billion with growth in this year of 9.6%. Property Tax revenues are up $5.9 million or 36% over the previous year.

Sales & Use Tax, Local Transactions and Use Tax and Supplemental Property Tax In-Lieu of Sales Tax In the 2005 and 2006 fiscal years revenues have begun to trend significantly upward. Sales tax increased $.3 million in FY 06 over FY 05. Sales tax in 1997 was $10.3 million and it was not until Fiscal Year 2005 that the City again reached that level for sales tax. Sluggish sales tax in the years between 1997 and 2005 was a result of many things, including, a downturn in the economy of the Silicon Valley, decline of the technology sector within the City, relocation of a number of businesses outside the City, and the September 11 tragedy which significantly reduced the tourist trade.

Transient Occupancy Tax Transient Occupancy Tax declined after 2001 for many of the reasons cited and consistent with the decline in sales and use tax. However, the transient occupancy tax has not recovered and based on the forecast for growth in hotel rooms, occupancy, and room rates this revenue has remained basically flat. The slight increase in recent years can be attributed to a small increase in room rates.

Utility Users Tax The utility users tax is the third largest revenue source for the City, coming after property tax and sales tax. The utility users tax is comprised of a tax on eight utilities; electric, wired telecom, wireless telecom, natural gas, cable, water, wastewater, and refuse (the last three being municipal utilities). Modest increases over the last four years can be attributed to a number of factors. Generally speaking, there have been declines in electric and wired telecom while wireless telecom, gas, and cable have increased. The most significant factor for the rise in overall revenues point to the water, wastewater, and refuse municipal utilities and the increase tax revenues due to recent customer rate increases.

Risk management. The City of Santa Cruz uses a program of self-insurance for workers’ compensation and general liability claims, and employs a professional risk manager, supplemented by a professional claim administration firm, to minimize losses. The City is self-insured for workers' compensation up to $500,000 per occurrence. Santa Cruz participates in a multi-agency joint powers authority to provide excess insurance coverage for liability coverage. The joint powers authority and the City rely on estimates prepared by professional actuaries to set aside funds adequate to meet potential future losses. Excess coverage purchased through the joint powers authority covers claims in excess of $1,000,000 for general liability claims. As reflected in the financial statements, the Risk Management internal service fund had deficit net assets as of June 30, 2006 of $4.3 million due to accrued claims liabilities. A deficit balance of $4.8 million related to workers’ compensation activities was offset by surplus balances of $0.4 million related to group health insurance activities and a surplus of 0.2 million related to liability insurance activities, resulting in a total net asset deficit balance of $4.3 million. Significant contributing factors to rising workers’ compensation costs and claims liabilities include both an increased benefit structure resulting from recent State legislation, and cost increases in the excess insurance market that are being passed along to public agencies. At the same time, the self-insured retention per occurrence has increased from $250,000 to $500,000. Health care costs. The City contracts with CalPERS for employee health care coverage. Under this program, employer premiums increased 10% for fiscal year 2006. A similar or even greater increase is projected for fiscal year 2007. In addition, public agencies have been told by CalPERS to expect additional increases in future years.

State budget. California faced budget deficits in previous years. noteworthy changes in state/local finance law. •

This imbalance created a number of

The “Triple Flip” In FY 04, the State of California issued State Deficit Reduction bonds under Proposition 57. Wall Street wanted a dedicated revenue stream. The State of California then devised a method to secure the dedicated revenue stream called the “Triple Flip”. 1.

The State would take 25% of the local government 1% sales tax (Cities and Counties). This is to continue for nine (9) years, beginning in FY 2004-05.

2.

In January (6 months into the fiscal year), the State would require the Counties to take property tax which was earmarked for schools and pay back the first 6 months of the sales tax takeaway to the local governments, the State will then have the counties pay the estimated next 6 months in May. The difference between the estimated and actual sales tax in one year will be corrected in the next year payments.

3.

Then the State, using State General Fund monies, would pay back the schools.

The Sales Tax taken by the State in FY 06 was $2.0 million and it was repaid by the County in the form of “Property Tax in Lieu of Sales Tax. Santa Cruz County pays the City in December and April our estimated 6 month payments. •

VLF-Property Tax Swap for FY 2006 was $3,7 million. In 1999, the state began reducing the vehicle license fee (VLF) rate charged to vehicle owners – and backfilling city and county revenue losses from this tax reduction with state subventions. The FY 2005 state budget package permanently replaced the VLF backfill by shifting an equal amount of K-14 property taxes to cities and counties. Increased state aid offsets K-14 school district revenue losses.



FY 2004-05 Property Tax Shift. The FY 2004-05 state budget package included a $1.3 billion shift of property taxes (called ERAF III) from noneducational local agencies (cities, counties, special districts, and redevelopment agencies) to K-14 school districts. Unlike the two permanent property tax shifts enacted in the 1990’s, this tax shift sunsets in FY 2006-07.



Proposition 1A. In 2004, state voters amended the State Constitution to prohibit the state from permanently reallocating the property tax in any county noneducation local agencies to K-14 school districts. Also, this measure generally requires a two-thirds vote of the Legislature to change the distribution of property taxes amount noneducation local agencies.

Cash management and policies Cash temporarily idle during the year was invested in obligations of the U.S. Treasury and agencies of the federal government, and the State Treasurer's, Local Agency Investment Pool (LAIF). Maturities of the investments range from one day to five years, with an average maturity of 342 days. The average yield on investments not held by fiscal agents was 3.68%. Investment income includes appreciation in the fair value of investments. Increases in fair value during the current year, however, do not necessarily represent trends that will continue; nor is it always possible to realize such amounts. It is the City’s policy to hold investments to maturity; therefore, gains and losses due to temporary market value fluctuations are rarely realized.

vii

Major Initiatives The City of Santa Cruz operates four municipal utilities, including water, wastewater, storm water, and refuse collection/landfill operations. The Water Department has not made any major capital improvements for the past 10 to 15 years while a new water supply project was being developed. Now, in order to address the pressing needs of an aging infrastructure and the need for a new water supply, the Water Department has embarked upon an ambitious program of capital improvements that will span the next 4 years and will cost approximately $53 million, to be financed partially through the issuance of new debt. Major distribution and supply projects are planned, including a desalination plant. The National Marine Sanctuary Program (NMSP), an agency of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the City of Santa Cruz are partnering to design and construct the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Education Center. The Education Center in the City of Santa Cruz will function as the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary’s premier visitor center. The site was chosen after the NMSP studied 23 locations along California’s Central Coast, settling on the City’s ¾-acre “Fun Spot” property in the Santa Cruz beach area, visited by an estimated 3 million people per year. Formal design will commence in FY 2007. The City will continue to use Development Impact fees to enhance and upgrade park facilities. These fees will also be used for improvements to the greenbelt. During these tough economic times the Parks and Recreation Department will continue to seek grants and bond monies to renovate and upgrade outdated facilities. The development of Depot Park and the Multi Modal Station is an example of a successful partnership between numerous agencies. Awards The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Santa Cruz for its comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. This was the 23rd consecutive year that the City has received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, the City published an easily readable and efficiently organized financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for one year only. Due to staff turnover, the City was unable to prepare the FY 2005 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) in the timeframe required to present the CAFR for the award for that year. We believe that our current comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) to meets the Certificate of Achievement Program’s requirements. Acknowledgements The Finance Department takes great pride in the preparation of this report. The professionalism, commitment and effort of the entire staff of the Finance Department have made this presentation possible. We would like to express our appreciation to all the members of the other departments who assisted and contributed to the preparation of this report. We also want to thank the partners and staff of our auditors for their assistance and support. We wish to also express our sincere thanks to the City Manager, the Mayor and the City Council Members for their unfailing support for maintaining the highest standards of professionalism in the management of the City of Santa Cruz's financial operations. Respectfully submitted,

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of the City of Santa Cruz Santa Cruz, California We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the businesstype activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Santa Cruz, California (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2006, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the City’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall basic financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the basic financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of June 30, 2006, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. As described in Note 1 to the basic financial statements, the City adopted the Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 42, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Impairment of Capital Assets and Insurance Recoveries, No. 44, Economic Condition Reporting: The Statistical Section (an amendment of NCGA Statement 1), No. 46, Net Assets Restricted by Enabling Legislation, and No. 47, Accounting for Termination Benefits. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated October 27, 2006 on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council of the City of Arcadia Arcadia, California Page 2 The accompanying Required Supplementary Information, such as Management’s Discussion and Analysis, budgetary comparison information and other information as listed in the table of contents, is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the Required Supplementary Information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The accompanying Supplementary Information is presented for purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. The Supplementary Information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Management's Discussion and Analysis As management of the City of Santa Cruz we offer readers of the City’s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City of Santa Cruz for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal, which can be found on page i of this report.

Financial Highlights – Primary Government (in $ millions) •

Government-Wide Highlights: Net Assets - The assets of the City of Santa Cruz exceeded its liabilities at the close of the fiscal year by $416.6. Of total Net Assets, $98.0 or 23.5% was reported as unrestricted net assets and may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. Restricted net assets of $12.1 may be used for the City’s ongoing obligations related to programs with external restrictions. The remaining $306.5 represents the City’s investment in capital assets, less any related outstanding debt used to acquire those assets. Changes in Net Assets - The City’s total net assets increased by $11.0 or 2.7% in fiscal year 2006. The increase in Net Assets represents the degree to which revenues exceed expenses.



Fund Highlights: Governmental Funds – Governmental funds include general, special revenue, debt service, and capital projects funds. As of the close of fiscal year 2006, the City’s governmental funds, including the Redevelopment Agency Fund, reported a combined ending fund balance of $46.9, which is an increase of $3.1 from the prior year. Approximately 67% of this amount, or $31.4, represents the unreserved fund balance available for appropriation. 52.3% of the unreserved fund balance, or $16.4, has been designated for various purposes. General Fund – Total fund balance of the General Fund on June 30, 2006 was $22.8, an increase of $2.8 or 13.8% from the prior year. 81% of the total fund balance, or $18.5, was unreserved. Of the unreserved fund balance, $7.1, or approximately 38.5%, is designated for various purposes. The designations include $5.3 for the city public trust, and varying amounts for other activities. The remaining unreserved balance of $11.4, or 61.5% of unreserved fund balance, is undesignated.

Overview of the Financial Statements This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s basic financial statements. The City’s basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves. Government-wide Financial Statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. They are comprised of the statement of net assets and statement of activities and changes in net assets. The statement of net assets presents information on all of the City’s assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating. 4

The statement of activities and changes in net assets presents information showing how the City's net assets changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., interest expense due but unpaid). Both of the above government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City include general government, public safety, public works, parks and recreation, library, transit, social services and community and economic development. The business-type activities of the City include the four municipal utilities: water, wastewater, storm water, and refuse and landfill operation; and also the self-supporting golf course and parking enterprises. Blended Component Units – Component units are legally separate entities that meet certain criteria and would be misleading if their data were not included in this report. This report includes two separate legal entities in this category; The City of Santa Cruz Redevelopment Agency, and The Santa Cruz Public Improvement Financing Corporation. In this report all component units are blended with the primary government because the governing boards are substantively the same as the primary government, and the component units serve the primary government exclusively. The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 22-23 of this report. Fund Financial Statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds. The fund financial statements provide detail information about each of the City’s most significant funds, called major funds. The concept of major funds, and the determination of which are major funds, was established by GASB 34 and replaces the concept of combining like funds and presenting them in total. Instead, each major fund is presented individually, with all nonmajor funds summarized and presented in a single column. Individual fund data on the nonmajor funds is presented in the form of combining statements and schedules on pages 107 through 111 of this report. Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government’s near-term financing requirements. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.

5

The City has nine governmental funds, of which two are considered major funds for presentation purposes. Each major fund is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the City’s two major funds – the General Fund and the Redevelopment Agency Fund. Data from the other seven governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 28 through 31 of this report. Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements on pages 108 through 109 of this report. Proprietary Funds – The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds – enterprise funds and internal service funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for the four municipal utilities; water, wastewater, storm water, and refuse and landfill operation; and also the selfsupporting golf and parking enterprises. Internal service funds are used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City’s various functions. The City uses internal service funds to account for its equipment operations and maintenance, stores inventory, telecommunications, and risk management activities. Because these services predominantly benefit governmental rather than business-type functions, they have been included within governmental activities in the governmental-wide financial statements. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The fund financial statements for the proprietary funds provide separate information for the four municipal utilities; water, wastewater, storm water, and refuse and landfill operation; and also the selfsupporting golf course and parking enterprises. Conversely, the internal service funds are combined into a single aggregated column in the proprietary fund statements. Individual fund data for the internal service funds is provided in the form of combining statements on pages 127 - 129 of this report. The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on page 34 - 43 of this report. Fiduciary Funds – Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City’s own programs. Notes to the Financial Statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 49 - 96 of this report. Other Information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information concerning the City of Santa Cruz’s progress in funding its obligation to provide pension benefits to its employees, as well as providing a budgetary comparison schedule for the General Fund and the Redevelopment Agency Fund. Required supplementary information can be found on pages 92 - 96 of this report. Additional budgetary schedules for the General Fund and the combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds and internal service funds are presented immediately following the required supplementary information. Combining and individual statements and schedules can be found on pages XX-XX of this report.

Government-Wide Financial Analysis (in $ millions) Net Assets. As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. In the case of the City of Santa Cruz, combined net assets (governmental and businesstype activities) totaled $416.6 at the close of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006. By far the largest portion of the City’s net assets $306.5 or 73.6% reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, streets, bridges, water and sewer lines, buildings, machinery, and equipment), less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. An additional portion of the City’s net assets $12.1 or 2.9% represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining $98.0 or 23.5% of the City’s net assets, are “unrestricted,” and may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.

Governmental Expenses. Total governmental activity expenses were $78.4 in fiscal year 2006. The largest expenses were incurred for public safety, parks and recreation, and general government. These expenses do not include capital outlays, which are now reflected in the City’s capital assets. Governmental Revenues. Per GASB 34, program revenues are derived directly from the program itself or from parties outside the reporting government’s taxpayers or citizenry. They reduce the net cost of the function to be financed from the government’s general revenues. Total program revenues from governmental activities were $29.3 in fiscal year 2006. Governmental program revenues derive primarily from charges for services, which include licenses and permits, planning fees, developer fees, recreation charges, traffic and other fines and forfeitures, charges to the Library Joint Powers Authority for personnel services provided, and several other revenues. Program revenues under the operating grants and contributions category include revenues restricted for specific purposes, such as gasoline tax and other federal, state and local grants. Program revenues in the capital grants and contributions category also include federal, state and local grants, but are restricted specifically to be used for capital projects or acquisitions. 9

General revenues are all other revenues not categorized as program revenues, and include all taxes, unrestricted grants, contributions and investment earnings, gains on sales of capital assets, and other miscellaneous revenues. Total general revenues from governmental activities were $55.1 in fiscal year 2006. Taxes of $52.0 comprised 94.4% of the City’s general revenues for fiscal year 2006. The largest single source of general revenues received during fiscal year 2006 was $22.4 of property taxes, or 40.8% of general revenues, followed by $11.7 of sales and use taxes, or 21.3% of general revenues. The largest sources of other taxes are, utility user’s taxes, transient occupancy, franchise and admissions taxes.

Financial Analysis of Individual Funds (in $ millions) As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. Governmental Funds - The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $46.9 which is an increase of $3.1 or 7.1% over the previous year. Approximately $31.4 of the fund balance is unreserved fund balance, which is available for spending at the government’s discretion. Unreserved fund balance increased by $2.2 or 7.6% over the previous year. It should, however, be noted that 52.3% of the unreserved fund balance, or $16.4, has been designated for various purposes, such as debt service, capital projects, public art, police programs and the City Public Trust, leaving $15.0 unreserved and undesignated. The remainder of fund balance $15.5 is reserved to indicate that it is not available for spending because it has already been legally committed. General Fund – Total fund balance of the General Fund on June 30, 2006 was $22.8, an increase of $2.8 or 13.8% over the prior year. Approximately 81% of this amount, or $18.5, was unreserved. Of the unreserved fund balance, $7.1, or 38.5% has been designated for specific uses. The designations include $5.3 for the City Public Trust, and $1.4 for Accrued Compensated Absences (such as, vacations), and varying amounts for other activities, such as unemployment insurance, housing, parks and recreation programs, and equipment and facilities maintenance. The remaining unreserved balance of $11.4, or 61.6% of unreserved fund balance, is undesignated and represents an increase of $2.6 or 30.1% over the previous year. As a measure of the general fund’s liquidity, it may be useful to compare unreserved fund balance, the undesignated portion of the unreserved fund balance, ant the total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unreserved fund balance ($18.5) represents 28.5% of total general fund expenditures ($65.0), including transfers out. Unreserved and undesignated fund balance ($11.4) represents 17.5% of total expenditures, and total fund balance ($22.8) represents 35% of total fund expenditures ($65.0). The 17.5% percent of total expenditures that is represented by the undesignated, unreserved fund balance ($11.4) exceeds the City Council’s targeted minimum reserve level of 10% of the operating budget for the General Fund. 12

Redevelopment Agency Fund – The City of Santa Cruz Redevelopment Agency is responsible for redevelopment of areas identified under the Community Redevelopment Law as being blighted. The Agency’s operations are funded primarily by the issuance of debt, which is expected to be repaid out of property tax increment revenue generated by increases in property assessed values in the redevelopment areas. At the end of fiscal year 2006, the total fund balance of the Redevelopment Agency Fund was $14.3, a decrease of $.1 from the prior year, or .9%. Of that amount, $6.3 is reserved to indicate that it is not available for spending because it has already been legally committed. The remainder of the unreserved fund balance of $ 8.0 is designated for either debt service or capital projects and represents an increase of $1.5 or 22.5% over the previous year. The Redevelopment Agency Fund had revenues of $10.9, including $10.3 of property tax increment revenue. Expenditures in this fund amounted to $14.2 which is an increase of $5.6 over the previous year due to increases in capital expenditures within the project areas. Proprietary Funds. The City’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. They include both enterprise funds and internal service funds. For the government-wide financial statements, the internal service funds are consolidated with governmental activities, and the enterprise funds comprise the business-type activities. As discussed in the business-type activities section previously, the City’s net assets increased by $5.0 as a result of operations in the enterprise funds. Net assets ($3.3 negative) in the internal service funds increased by $1.8 over prior year ($5.2 negative). The increases are due to decreases in expenditures in risk management and increases in charges to departments for risk management.

General Fund Budgetary Highlights. The final amended general fund budget, including transfers out and advances, totaled $66.3 and included amendments to the original budget resulting in a $519K increase in operating expenditure appropriations. The principal amendments can be summarized as follows: Operating Appropriations Increases. Significant Appropriations Increases: • • • • • • • •

Minimum Wage Study, $28,000 Public Opinion Survey - Measure F, $36,000 Consultant - Community Design Background, $20,300 Consulting Services - Special District Establishment (Beach Area), $45,000 State Operating Grants - Cal Trans Agreement (Revenue receipt), $130,000 August 30 Special Election, $74,828 State Grant - Route 1/17 Police Officer, $42,000 Electronic Records Management System, $156,907

These appropriations were offset by additional estimated revenue of $2.6, mostly due to increases in taxes of $1.9 and increase in intergovernmental revenues of $0.6

13

Capital Assets and Debt Administration (in $ millions) Capital Assets. The City’s investment in capital assets for its governmental and business- type activities as of June 30, 2006, amounts to $404.6, net of accumulated depreciation of $258.7. This investment in capital assets includes land, land improvements, infrastructure, buildings, machinery and equipment, lease improvements, software, and construction in progress. Infrastructure assets are items that are normally immovable and of value only to the City such as roads, bridges, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems, lighting systems and similar items. The total additions to the City’s investment in capital assets for the current fiscal year, after restatements and deletions, were $4.6, net of accumulated depreciation. Major capital asset additions during the current fiscal included the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

RDA Land Purchase – Salz Tannery, $6,3 Water System Improvements, $7.5 Bike Path, $.1 Vehicles and heavy equipment – General Fund, $.3 Sewer Improvements, $.7 Sewer Vehicles (trucks), $.6 Recycling Center Improvements, $1.1 Refuse Trucks, $1.2 Storm Drain Improvements, $.3 Golf Course Improvements, $2.9

Changes in capital assets from the prior year (as restated) are shown in the following table. Additional information on the City’s capital assets can be found in Note 5 on pages XX-XX of this report. Capital Assets (net of depreciation) (amounts expressed in $ millions) Governmental Activities

Debt Administration (in millions) Long Term Debt - At the end of the current fiscal year, the City had $127.7 in long term debt outstanding compared to $116.7 last year, an increase of $11.0 or 9.4%. Increases to claims and judgments payable, landfill closure costs, lease obligations, and tax allocation bonds were offset by decreases in a variety of other bonds, notes, loans, and leases payable. The debt associated with governmental activities increased by $2.3 or 6.7% from $33.7 to $36.0. Business-type activity debt was increased by $8.7 or 10.5% from $83.0 to $91.7. Major increase in debt during the year included the issuance of Water Revenue Bonds.

14

The City currently has $7.1 in outstanding general obligation debt. This debt was approved by voters in November 1998 and authorized an ad valorem tax override for acquisition of open space property, improvements to fire stations, acquisition of a fire administrative headquarters building, and construction of a community park. This tax override is currently assessed at $9 per $100,000 of assessed value. The largest single debt obligation of the City is a note payable to the State of California for the construction of secondary treatment improvements at the City's wastewater treatment plant. As of June 30, 2006 the outstanding balance on this note was $37.8. The chart below illustrates the changes in bonds, notes, loans and leases payable for the year ending June 30, 2006.

Additional information on the City of Santa Cruz’s long term debt can be found in Note 6 to the financial statements. Economic Climate The City of Santa Cruz, and Santa Cruz County for that matter, is closely tied to the regional economy of the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area and to Silicon Valley in particular. Fiscal Year 2006 showed signs of recovery at the national level, along with the Bay Area and Silicon Valley. Local private employers include a diverse array of manufacturing, business services, retail, hotel and food services, and biotechnology companies. In addition to the local private employers, the local economy also benefits from the University of California Santa Cruz. The University is a major employer, and has potential spin-off benefits from federal and state funded scientific research ventures including biomedical research, technology research, and adaptive optics. 15

The state, and the bay area in particular, experienced modest growth in jobs, personal income, and tourism in 2006 and the economy is expected to continue to improve during 2006, albeit modestly. However, the bay area regional economic opportunities and challenges including continued job growth, housing prices, interest rates, state and national economic issues will, of course, moderate the rate of improvement.

Requests for Information This financial report is designed to provide a general overview of the City’s finances for all of its citizens, taxpayers, customers, investors and creditors. Questions concerning any of the information provided in this report or requests for additional information should be addressed to the City of Santa Cruz, Finance Department, 809 Center Street, Room 8, Santa Cruz, CA 95060.

Compensated absences payable - due within one year

$

3,108,076

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets were different because: Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which depreciation exceeded capital outlays in the current period, excluding the internal service funds, which are reported below.

3,063,302

The net effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets (i.e., sales, trade-ins, and capital contributions) is to increase net assets.

(938)

Revenues considered "unavailable" at the end of the previous fiscal year were collected during the current year and are reported as revenues in the governmental funds. These revenues were previously included in the statement of activities.

(17,811)

Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds.

16,306

Certain costs related to issuing new debt and refunding existing debt are reported as expenditures and financing uses in the governmental funds, but are capitalized in the statement of net assets, and will be amortized over the remaining life of the debt.

(11,311)

Proceeds of long-term debt and payments to refunding bond escrow agents are reported as financing sources/uses in governmental funds. In the statement of net assets, however, issuing or refinancing debt affects noncurrent liabilities.

(3,163,916)

Repayment of principal is an expenditure in governmental funds, but reduces noncurrent liabilities in the statement of net assets.

1,149,777

Debt service principal payments are reclassified as "Community and economic development" expense in the Government-Wide Statement of Activities.

84,323

Accrued but unpaid and accreted interest on long-term debt is reported in the statement of activities, but does not require the use of current financial resources. Therefore, it is not reported as an expenditure in the governmental funds.

(120,310)

Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities, such as insurance and equipment management, to individual funds. The net revenue of the internal service funds is reported with governmental activities. Change in Net Assets of Governmental Activities

City of Santa Cruz Notes to Basic Financial Statements For the year ended June 30, 2006

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The basic financial statements of the City of Santa Cruz, California (City) have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to governmental agencies. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The more significant of the City’s accounting policies are described below. A. Reporting Entity The City was incorporated as a town in 1866 under the laws of the State of California. It became a City in 1876. The City is a charter city administered under a council/manager form of government. The financial statements present the City and its component units (legally separate entities for which the City is considered to be financially accountable). Component units include those entities for which the City may have governing authority or is in a relationship of financial benefit or burden. Component units also include entities that are fiscally dependent upon the City. The financial activities of these entities are integrally related to those of the City and, therefore, blended with those of the City. Blending involves aggregating/merging component unit data and data from the City at the combined financial statement level. Based on the above criteria, the accompanying financial statements include the financial activities of the following entities as blended component units. Separate financial statements of these entities can be obtained from the Finance Department of the City. City of Santa Cruz Redevelopment Agency - The City of Santa Cruz Redevelopment Agency (Agency) was formed in 1956 to improve social, physical and economic conditions of the City by constructing a series of commercial, residential and public buildings in the downtown area. The City's Council members are the Agency's Directors and have full accountability for the Agency's fiscal matters. Santa Cruz Public Improvement Financing Corporation - The Santa Cruz Public Improvement Financing Corporation (Corporation) is a non-profit benefit corporation organized and operated under the laws of the State of California. The primary purpose of the Corporation is to serve as a financing vehicle for the City. The City Council has final responsibility for the operations of the Corporation. B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds, 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. Governmental resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. Government - Wide Financial Statements The City’s Government-Wide Financial Statements include a Statement of Net Assets and a Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets. These statements present summaries of governmental and business-type activities for the City accompanied by a total column. Fiduciary activities of the City are not included in these statements. 51

City of Santa Cruz Notes to Basic Financial Statements, Continued For the year ended June 30, 2006

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus, Continued Government - Wide Financial Statements, Continued These basic financial statements are presented on an “economic resources” measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all of the City’s assets and liabilities, including capital assets, as well as infrastructure assets, and long-term liabilities, are included in the accompanying Statement of Net Assets. The Statement of Activities presents changes in net assets. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. Certain types of transactions are reported as program revenues for the City in three categories: Charges for services ¾ Operating grants and contributions ¾ Capital grants and contributions ¾

Certain eliminations have been made as prescribed by GASB Statement No. 34 in regards to interfund activities, payables and receivables. All internal balances in the Statement of Net Assets have been eliminated except those representing balances between the governmental activities and the businesstype activities, which are presented as internal balances and eliminated in the total primary government column. In the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets, internal service fund transactions have been eliminated; however, those transactions between governmental and businesstype activities have not been eliminated. The following interfund activities have been eliminated: Due to/from other funds Advances to/from other funds ¾ Transfers in/out ¾ ¾

For its business type activities, the City applies all applicable GASB pronouncements currently in effect, as well as Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statements and Interpretations, Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinions, and Accounting Research Bulletins (ARB) of the Committee on Accounting Procedure that do not conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements. Governmental Fund Financial Statements Governmental Fund Financial Statements include a Balance Sheet and a Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances for all major governmental funds and non-major funds aggregated. An accompanying schedule is presented to reconcile and explain the differences in net assets as presented in these statements to the net assets presented in the Government-Wide Financial Statements. The City has presented all major funds that met the applicable criteria. All governmental funds are accounted for on a spending or "current financial resources" measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, only current assets and current liabilities are included on the Balance Sheet. The Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances presents increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period. 52

City of Santa Cruz Notes to Basic Financial Statements, Continued For the year ended June 30, 2006

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus, Continued Governmental Fund Financial Statements, Continued Revenues are recorded when received in cash, except for that revenues subject to accrual (generally 60 days after year-end) are recognized when due. The primary revenue sources, which have been treated as susceptible to accrual by the City, are property tax, sales tax, intergovernmental revenues and other taxes. Expenditures are recorded in the accounting period in which the related fund liability is incurred. Deferred revenues arise when potential revenues do not meet both the “measurable” and “available” criteria for recognition in the current period. Deferred revenues also arise when the government receives resources before it has a legal claim to them, as when grant monies are received prior to incurring qualifying expenditures. In subsequent periods, when both revenue recognition criteria are met or when the government has a legal claim to the resources, the deferred revenue is removed from the Balance Sheet and revenue is recognized. The Reconciliation of the Fund Financial Statements to the Government-Wide Financial Statements is provided to explain the differences created by the integrated approach of GASB Statement No. 34. Proprietary Fund Financial Statements Proprietary Fund Financial Statements include a Statement of Net Assets, a Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets, and a Statement of Cash Flows for each major proprietary fund. A separate column representing internal service funds is also presented in these statements. However, internal service balances and activities have been combined with the governmental activities in the Government-Wide Financial Statements. Proprietary funds are accounted for using the "economic resources" measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) are included on the Statement of Net Assets. The Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets presents increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net assets. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. In these funds, receivables have been recorded as revenue and provisions have been made for uncollectible amounts. In accordance with GASB Statement No. 20, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Proprietary Funds and Other Government Entities that Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, the City applies all GASB pronouncements currently in effect as well as FASB Statements and Interpretations, APB Opinions and ARB of the Committee on Accounting Procedure that do not conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements. Operating revenues in the proprietary funds are those revenues that are generated from the primary operations of the fund. All other revenues are reported as non-operating revenues. Operating expenses are those expenses that are essential to the primary operations of the fund. All other expenses are reported as nonoperating expenses.

City of Santa Cruz Notes to Basic Financial Statements, Continued For the year ended June 30, 2006

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus, Continued Fiduciary Fund Financial Statements Fiduciary Fund Financial Statements include a Statement of Net Assets and a Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Assets. The City's fiduciary funds represent agency funds and private-purpose trust funds. Agency funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not involve measurement of results of operations. The agency funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting. The private-purpose trust funds are used to account for resources legally held in trust for special purposes. C. Use of Restricted/Unrestricted Net Assets When an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net assets are available, the City’s policy is to apply restricted net assets first. D. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments Cash and cash equivalents are considered to be amounts in demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition. For purposes of both the balance sheet and statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes not only currency on hand, but deposits in the City’s cash and investment pool. These deposits have the same characteristics for the participating funds as demand deposit accounts, in that the funds may deposit additional cash at any time and also effectively withdraw cash at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash and cash equivalents also include restricted cash and money market funds held by fiscal agents. Investments include unpooled investments in securities having original maturities greater than three months. In accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools, both these investments and investments included in the City’s cash and investment pool are stated at fair value, which is based on a quoted market price. This includes all investments except the City’s investment in the California Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). LAIF determines fair value on its investment portfolio based on market quotations for those securities where market quotations are readily available and based on amortized cost or best estimate for those securities where market value is not readily available. The City valued its investments in LAIF as of June 30, 2006, by multiplying its account balance with LAIF times a fair value factor determined by LAIF (.998185821). This fair value factor was determined by dividing the total aggregate fair value for all LAIF participants by total aggregate amortized cost. E. Restricted Cash and Investments with Fiscal Agents Certain restricted cash and investments are held by fiscal agents for the redemption of bonded debt and for acquisition and construction of capital projects. F. Prepaid Items Certain payments applicable to future accounting periods are recorded as prepaid items. Prepaid items do not reflect current appropriable resources and, thus, an equivalent portion of fund balance is reserved. 54

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued G. Inventories Inventories consist of material and supplies which are stated at cost using the first-in, first-out method. Inventories are recognized as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased. H. Interfund Transactions Activity between funds that is representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year is referred to as either “due to/from other funds” (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e., the long-term portion of interfund loans). Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the Government-Wide Financial Statements as “internal balances.” I.

Capital Assets Capital assets are defined by the City as assets having an estimated useful life in excess of one year, and an initial, individual cost in excess of the capitalization thresholds described below: Infrastructure Land improvements Buildings and lease improvements Machinery and equipment Software (if qualified)

$

25,000 10,000 10,000 5,000 5,000

All capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Donated fixed assets are valued at their estimated fair market value on the date donated. Assets acquired under capital leases are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest accrued during capital assets construction, if any, is capitalized for the businesstype activities and proprietary funds as part of the asset cost. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend the asset’s useful life are not capitalized. Capital assets are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities in the Government-Wide Financial Statements. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets as follows: Land improvements Buildings and lease improvements Water tanks and water mains Underground sewer lines Other infrastructure Machinery and equipment Software ( if qualified)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued I.

Capital Assets, Continued Assets are grouped by asset type into one of the following accounts – land, land improvements, infrastructure assets (e.g. roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), buildings (and improvements), machinery and equipment, lease improvements, software, and construction in progress. For all infrastructure systems, the City elected to use the Basic Approach as defined by GASB Statement No. 34 for infrastructure reporting. Estimated historical costs were developed in one of three ways: (1) historical records; (2) standard unit costs appropriate for the construction/acquisition date; or (3) present cost indexed by a reciprocal factor of the price increase from the construction/acquisition date to the current date. The accumulated depreciation, defined as the total depreciation from the date of construction/acquisition to the current date on a straight line, unrecovered cost method was computed using industry accepted life expectancies for each infrastructure subsystem. The book value was then computed by deducting the accumulated depreciation from the estimated historical cost.

J.

Interest Payable In the Government-Wide Financial Statements, interest payable on long-term debt is recognized as the liability is incurred for governmental fund types and proprietary fund types. In the Fund Financial Statements, propriety fund types recognize the interest payable when the liability is incurred.

K. Deferred Revenue In the Government-Wide Financial Statements, deferred revenue is recognized for transactions for which revenue has not yet been earned. Typical transactions recorded as deferred revenues in the Government-Wide Financial Statements are long-term assessments, long-term loans receivable, and prepaid charges for services. In the Fund Financial Statements, deferred revenue is recorded when transactions have not yet met the revenue recognition criteria based on the modified accrual basis of accounting. The City records deferred revenue for transactions for which revenues have not been earned, or for which funds are not available to meet current financial obligations. Typical transactions for which deferred revenue is recorded are grants received but not yet earned or available, interest on interfund advances receivable, long-term assessments and loans receivable. L. Compensated Absences The City has accumulated unpaid regular vacation leave (for all departments) which is accounted for in accordance with GAAP. The maximum accumulation of vacation leave is limited to the total number of hours accruable during two years. Employees are paid 100% of their accumulated vacation pay when they terminate their employment for any reason. Employees are allowed a partial payoff of accumulated sick leave up to a certain maximum amount.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued M. Bond Premiums, Discounts, and Issuance Costs For governmental type activities, bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are recognized during the current period. Bond proceeds are reported as other financing sources net of the applicable premium or discount. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual net proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures. For business type activities, bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using a straight-line method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Issuance costs and costs in excess of net assets acquired are reported as other assets in the accompanying financial statements. N. Long-Term Debt Government-Wide Financial Statements - Long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the appropriate activities. Fund Financial Statements - With the exception of advances from other funds, the governmental fund financial statements do not present long-term liabilities. However, the long term debt is shown in the Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet to the Government-Wide Statement of Net Assets. O. Net Assets In the Government-Wide Financial Statements, net assets are classified in the following categories: Invested in Capital Assets, net of Related Debt – This amount consists of capital assets net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by outstanding debt that attributed to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of the assets. Restricted Net Assets – This amount is restricted by external creditors, grantors, contributors, laws or regulations of other governments. Unrestricted Net Assets – This amount is all net assets that do not meet the definition of “invested in capital assets, net of related debt” or “restricted net assets.” P. Fund Balances - Reservations and Designations In the Fund Financial Statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balances for amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for use for a specific purpose. Designations of fund balances represent tentative management plans that are subject to change.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued Q. Property Taxes Assessed property values are determined annually by the County Assessor as of March 1, and become a lien on real property at July 1. Taxes are due November 1 and February 1 and are delinquent if not paid by December 10 and April 10, respectively. The County bills and collects property taxes and remits them to the City under the State authorized method of apportioning taxes whereby all local agencies, including cities, receive from the county their respective shares of the amount of ad valorem taxes collected. Property tax revenues are recognized when levied provided the measurement and availability criteria have been met. R. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. In addition, estimates affect the reported amount of expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. S. Implementation of New Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Pronouncements The City adopted new accounting standards in order to conform to the following Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statements: •

GASB Statement No. 42 Accounting and Financial Reporting for Impairment of Capital Assets and for Insurance Recoveries establishes accounting and financial reporting standards for impairment of capital assets. A capital asset is considered impaired when its service utility has declined significantly and unexpectedly. This Statement also clarifies and establishes accounting requirements for insurance recoveries.



GASB Statement No. 44 Economic Condition Reporting: The Statistical Section (an amendment of NCGA Statement 1) guides the preparation of the statistical section. The statistical section presents detailed information, typically in ten-year trends, that assists users in utilizing the basic financial statements, notes to basic financial statements, and required supplementary information to assess the economic condition of a government.



GASB Statement No. 46 Net Assets Restricted by Enabling Legislation addresses selected issues and amends GASB Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments. The Statement enhances the usefulness and comparability of net asset information and clarifies the meaning of legal enforceability. The Statement also specified accounting and financial reporting requirements for restricted net assets.



GASB Statement No. 47 Accounting for Termination Benefits provides accounting guidance for state and local governmental employers regarding benefits (such as early-retirement incentives and severance benefits) provided to employees that are terminated. The Statement requires recognition of the cost of involuntary termination benefits in the period in which a government becomes obligated to provide benefits to terminated employees. 58

2. CASH DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS, Continued A. Cash Deposits At June 30, 2006, the carrying amounts of the City’s cash deposits were ($681,319), net of outstanding checks in the amount of $2,794,655. Bank balances before reconciling items were $1,306,277. The total bank balance was collateralized or insured with securities held by the pledging financial institutions in the City’s name as discussed below. The California Government Code requires California banks and savings and loan associations to secure the City’s cash deposits by pledging securities as collateral. This Code states that collateral pledged in this manner shall have the effect of perfecting a security interest in such collateral superior to those of a general creditor. Thus, collateral for cash deposits is considered to be held in the City's name. The market value of pledged securities must equal at least 110% of the City's cash deposits. California law also allows institutions to secure city deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the City’s total cash deposits. The City may waive collateral requirements for cash deposits, which are fully insured up to $100,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. B. Investments The investments made by the City treasurer are limited to those allowable under State statutes as incorporated into the City’s Investment Policy, dated May 31, 2006, which is more conservative than that allowed by State statute. The scope of the investment policy includes all activities of the City and the following reporting entities: ¾ ¾ ¾

City of Santa Cruz City of Santa Cruz Redevelopment Agency Santa Cruz Public Improvement Financing Corporation

2. CASH DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS, Continued B. Investments, Continued State of California Local Agency Investment Fund as long as the total amount of City and Agency combined funds invested does not exceed the limit set by LAIF. ¾ Shares of beneficial interest issued by diversified management companies investing in authorized securities and obligations (e.g., money market mutual funds). ¾ Repurchase agreements with primary dealers of the Federal Reserve with specific terms and conditions. The market value of securities that underlie a repurchase agreement shall be valued at 102% or greater of the funds borrowed against those securities and shall be valued daily by the third party custodial agent. Securities that can be pledged for collateral consist only of investments permitted within this policy with a maximum maturity of five years. Purchases shall not exceed 90 days to maturity and 15% of the fair value of the portfolio. ¾

Bond proceeds held by fiscal agents to be used only for specific capital outlay, payments of certain longterm debt and maintaining required reserves are invested in accordance with the requirements and restrictions of the City’s investment policy and as permitted by specific State statutes, applicable City ordinance or resolution, and bond indenture requirements. The City is a participant in LAIF, which is regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The City’s investments with LAIF at June 30, 2006, included a portion of the pool funds invested in Structured Notes and Asset-Backed Securities: Structured Notes: debt securities (other than asset-backed securities) whose cash flow characteristics (coupon rate, redemption amount, or stated maturity) depend upon one or more indices and/or that have embedded forwards or options. Asset-Backed Securities: generally mortgage-backed securities that entitle their purchasers to receive a share of the cash flows from a pool of assets such as principal and interest repayments from a pool of mortgages (for example, Collateralized Mortgage Obligations) or credit card receivables. As of June 30, 2006, the City had $40,815,742 invested in LAIF accounts, which had invested 2.567% of the pool investments in structured notes and asset-backed securities. The City’s share of structured notes and asset-backed securities due to its holdings in LAIF amounted to approximately .960% of investments at June 30, 2006.

Investments with Fair Values Highly Sensitive to Interest Rate Fluctuations. Investments in callable bonds are investments that, although having clearly defined maturities, allow for the issuer to redeem or call such bonds earlier than their respective maturity dates. The investor must then replace the called bonds with investments that may have lower yield than the original bonds. As a result, the fair value of the callable bonds is highly sensitive to changes in interest rates. As of June 30, 2006, the City held $2,000,000 in callable securities, which amounted to approximately 2% of investments at June 30, 2006. The investment policy limits the purchase of callable U.S. Agency instruments to discreet calls and those that pay 100% of the principal at the redemption date. In addition, purchases of callable U.S. Agency instruments are not to exceed 30% of the value of the portfolio. The City is in compliance with these provisions of the investment policy. Credit Risk - State law limits investments in commercial paper and corporate bonds to the top two ratings issued by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. The City’s investments are rated as follows:

U.S. Agencies Federal Farm Credit Bank Federal Home Loan Bank Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation Federal National Mortgage Association U.S. Treasury Money Market Mutual Funds Blackrock Provident - Treasury Trust Fund Fidelity - Treasury Portfolio Goldman Sachs - Financial Square Treasury Obligations Goldman Sachs - Treasury Instruments Guaranteed Investment Contract Trinity Plus Funding Company External Pool State of California - Local Agency Investment Fund

Blackrock Provident U.S. Treasury Money Market Mutual Fund is approved by the National Association of Investors Corporation. Concentration of Credit Risk - The City’s investment policy states that not more than 25% of the portfolio shall be invested in any one entity or any one instrument to protect the City from concentration of credit risk, with the following exceptions: U.S. Treasury Obligations and the external investment pool (State of California – Local Agency Investment Fund). In addition, purchases of mutual funds must not exceed 20% of the value of the portfolio. Purchases in a single mutual fund may not exceed 10% of the value of the portfolio.

ACCEL operates a liability program which is subject to an annual independent financial audit and biennial actuarial study. ACCEL is governed by a twelve member Board of Directors. Each member agency appoints a representative to the Board of Directors. Each member of the Board of Directors has a single vote for policy and charter changes. ACCEL is funded by its member participants and, at the discretion of its Board of Directors, may assess the members for additional premiums (in an unlimited amount) in the event ACCEL assets at any time are insufficient to discharge its liabilities. For the fiscal year 2005-2006, the deposit rate was $0.60 per one-hundred dollars of payroll. ACCEL selffunded $2,000,000 excess of a $1,000,000 member self-insured retention, and purchased a $20,000,000 commercial excess insurance policy, providing a total limit of $23,000,000 per occurrence. In addition to the $23,000,000 program limits, two members purchased optional limits of $10,000,000, and two members purchased another optional $10,000,000. Members were also charged administrative costs in equal amounts. The City of Santa Cruz elected to pay the $360,000 administrative fee from pooled deposits. ACCEL’s day-to-day operations are administered by Driver Alliant Insurance Services contracted by ACCEL to provide accounting, risk consulting, insurance brokerage, and program administration services. Driver’s responsibility also includes the administration of policies as set forth by the ACCEL Joint Powers Authority Agreement, By-laws, and by the Board of Directors. The authority provides coverage above each member’s self-insured retention (SIR), subject to aggregate limit. Historically, nine members have $500,000 SIRS and two members have $1,000,000 SIRS. ACCEL provided an optional coverage of $500,000 excess of $500,000 per occurrence through 1989-90, however this coverage is no longer available. Prior to July 1, 1990, ACCEL pooled losses incurred by its members up to $10,000,000. Effective July 1, 1990, ACCEL created a reinsurance pool within the $9,000,000 excess of $1,000,000 layer by purchasing $5,000,000 excess of $5,000,000 coverage. On July 1, 1997, ACCEL further reduced its exposure and purchased coverage of $17,000,000 excess of $3,000,000 coverage. Due to favorable market conditions, ACCEL purchased coverage of $19,000,000 excess of $1,000,000 effective July 1, 1998. Six members with SIR of $500,000 purchased additional coverage of $500,000 excess of $500,000 (including the City of Santa Cruz). As of July 1, 2000, nine members purchased insurance of $19,500,000 excess of $1,000,000. ACCEL was fully insured through June 30, 2003. As of July 1, 2003, the Authority purchased a reinsurance covering $20,000,000 excess of $2,000,000 and pooled losses in the layer $1,000,000 excess of $1,000,000. All members have SIR of $1,000,000. ACCEL members may participate in the purchase of other insurance, such as excess worker’s compensation and excess liability over $12 million per occurrence where risk is not transferred to the pool. Effective September 1, 2003, ACCEL purchased excess insurance for all losses in excess of $2,000,000 per occurrence. ACCEL does not administer claims for these programs; therefore, no revenue or expense is reflected in ACCEL’s financial statements. 84

7. RISK MANAGEMENT AND SELF-INSURANCE, Continued ACCEL has a retrospective rating plan whereby all premiums collected, together with related investment income earned, in excess of pooled losses and loss expenses for each program year will be returned to members beginning five years after the end of the program year. Losses and loss expenses are allocated to each member based on a weighted actual loss formula. At the June 2006 Board of Directors meeting, a retrospectively rated refund was made available for distribution to the members for program years 2 through 15 in the amount of $10,435,477. Members could elect to have all or a portion of their refund, or choose retain the funds in the respective program year in the member city. The City of Santa Cruz’ retrospective rated refund is $550,058.

7. RISK MANAGEMENT AND SELF-INSURANCE, Continued Risk Management Fund revenues are primarily premium charges received from other funds and are planned to match expenses of insurance premiums for coverage in excess of self-insured amounts, estimated payments resulting from self-insurance programs, and operating expenses. Department charges are based on historical experience. Claims known to be payable and the estimated liability for the balance, based on a case-by-case review of all claims is recorded as claims payable. An additional estimate of the amount to be paid for claims incurred, but not reported, is also recorded as claims payable. Changes in the Risk Management Fund's claims liability amount for the years ended June 30, 2004 through 2006 are as follows: CLAIMS PAYABLE

8. LANDFILL CLOSURE AND POSTCLOSURE COSTS In accordance with requirements established by the California Integrated Waste Management Board, the City has recognized a portion of the landfill's closure and postclosure care (closure) costs. These cost estimates are based on the amount of landfill used to date. The total estimated costs are as follows: Total estimated closure costs Total estimated postclosure costs Total estimated closure and postclosure costs

The City has increased the landfill’s capacity through excavations and plans to continue excavating in future years to increase capacity. This effort has also increased the estimates of the closure and postclosure costs. At June 30, 2006, the estimated landfill closure cost liabilities of $5,751,407 and estimated annual landfill closure cost of $300,433 were calculated as follows: Total estimated closure and postclosure costs

8. LANDFILL CLOSURE AND POSTCLOSURE COSTS, Continued The landfill has an estimated remaining capacity of 5,816,715 cubic yards and has a current projected closure date of January 2038. Based upon the requirements of the California Integrated Waste Management Board, the City set aside $166,558 to fund future closure and post closure costs for the year ended June 30, 2006. All cash is invested. The market value of the invested cash at June 30, 2006 was $3,172,777, and is available to provide for closure and postclosure costs. Total funds accumulated as of June 30, 2006, are comprised as follows: Closure

The City has also estimated corrective action costs of $361,265 for a reasonable foreseeable landfill release. This amount is based on a March 1995 Hydrogeologic Summary for Support of Financial Assurance Mechanism report which is adjusted annually for inflation. Sufficient funds to cover these potential costs are available in the Refuse Fund’s unrestricted cash account. The estimated closure and corrective action costs are current estimates based on data provided by an independent consultant and are subject to changes in inflation, technological advancements, or regulatory changes. 9. RETIREMENT PLANS A. Pension Plan Plan Description The City contributes to the California Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS); an agent multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan. PERS provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. PERS acts as a common investment and administrative agent for participating public entities within the State of California. Benefit provisions and all other requirements are established by state statute and city ordinance. Copies of PERS’ annual financial report may be obtained from their Executive Office located at 400 P Street, Sacramento, CA 95814. Funding Policy City employees are required to contribute 9% for safety employees and 7% for all other employees of their annual covered salary. The City employer is required to contribute at an actuarially determined rate; the fiscal year 2006 rate is 13.835% for miscellaneous employees, 32.616% for police safety employees, and 38.181% for fire safety employees of annual covered payroll. There is a cost sharing agreement with miscellaneous employees whereby the employee is required to pay the employer share above 6.354%, a portion on a pre-tax basis and a portion on a post-tax basis. The contribution requirements of City employees and the City employer are established and may be amended by PERS. 87

9. RETIREMENT PLANS, Continued A. Pension Plan, Continued Annual Pension Cost For fiscal year 2006, the City’s annual pension cost of $6,330,030 for PERS was equal to the City’s required and actual contributions. The required contribution was determined as part of the June 30, 2004, actuarial valuation using the entry age normal actuarial cost method. The actuarial assumption included (a) 7.75% investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses); (b) projected salary increases ranging from 3.25% to 14.45% depending on age, service, and type of employment, and (c) 2% per year cost-of-living adjustments. Both (a) and (b) included an inflation component of 3.0%. The actuarial value of PERS assets was determined using techniques that smooth the effects of short-term volatility in the market value of investments over a three-year period. PERS unfunded actuarial accrued liability (or surplus) is being amortized as a level percentage of projected payroll on a closed basis. The amortization period at June 30, 2004 was 17 years for public safety police employees, 17 years for public safety fire employees, and 30 years for miscellaneous employees for prior and current service unfunded liability.

10. POST-EMPLOYMENT RETIREMENT BENEFITS The City pays a portion of its retiree’s health insurance premium. All part-time and full-time regular employees that meet certain requirements (continuous service with the City and minimum age) are eligible. As of June 30, 2006, there were 143 employees eligible. The benefit will be provided until the retiree becomes eligible for Medicare. The benefit is provided through the memorandum of understanding (MOU) the City has entered into with each bargaining unit. The retirees are paid monthly by the City per the amount specified in each MOU. The City paid $104,952 in post-employment retirement benefits to 65 participants for the year ended June 30, 2006.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The City participates in a number of Federal assisted grant programs, of which the principal grants are the Disaster Assistance Program, Community Development Block Grant, HOME grant program, various Department of Justice and Department of Transportation grant programs. These programs are subject to program compliance audits by the grantors or their representatives. The amount, if any, of expenditures, which may be disallowed by the granting agencies upon audit, cannot be determined at this time although the City expects such amounts to be immaterial. 88

City of Santa Cruz Notes to Basic Financial Statements, Continued For the year ended June 30, 2006

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, Continued The California Legislature granted tidal and submerged lands in trust to the City to be used for a number of statewide purposes in furtherance of navigation, commerce and fisheries. In accordance with this legislation, revenues derived from the Wharf are required to be used for purposes permitted under the grant statute. There are a number of lawsuits presently against the City. While the ultimate outcome of these lawsuits is not determinable, in the opinion of the City Attorney and City management, recovery from the City, if any, would not have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. The following schedule summarizes the major contractual commitments of the City as of June 30, 2006: Major Commitments and Contracts for Professional Services: Utility Billing Software Implementation

14. DEFICIT NET ASSETS The Risk Management internal service fund had deficit net assets of $4,256,330 as of June 30, 2006. This deficit is due to estimated liability insurance claims and workers’ compensation claims liabilities in excess of cash and other assets available in the fund. It is anticipated that this deficit will be made up in future years by increased contributions from other City funds. The City is working to establish an actuarially approved plan to fund the increased liability over a number of years. Net assets in the fund are designated for the following insurance activities: Net Assets Workers' compensation insurance

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Measure H was approved by the City of Santa Cruz voters in November 2006 authorizing an increase of ¼% to the current sales tax rate, and making permanent an existing ¼% temporary sales tax rate (Measure F) that was scheduled to sunset in 2009. Effective April 1, 2007, the State Board of Equalization will show the Measure H approved sales tax increase of ½% for a total City sales tax rate of 8.50%. The increase is expected to generate an additional $2.4 million in annual City revenues.

REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

93

City of Santa Cruz Required Supplementary Information For the year ended June 30, 2006

1. BUDGETARY INFORMATION An annual budget is adopted by the City Council no later than the first regular meeting in July for the fiscal year beginning July first. As part of the budget process, all City departments submit budget requests for the next fiscal year. These requests are reviewed, and a final City Manager recommended budget showing estimated revenues and expenditures of the City is prepared. This proposed budget is transmitted to the City Council and made available to the public for review. Study sessions and a public hearing are conducted before final adoption of the budget by the City Council. The City Manager is authorized to approve appropriation transfers within any department up to a specified amount; however, any new appropriation or appropriation transfer between departments requires approval by the City Council. Several supplemental appropriations were necessary during the year and are reflected in the budget amounts in the financial statements. Expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations at the department level. Under the City Charter, all unexpended appropriations shall lapse at the end of the fiscal year unless they are lawfully committed, or are required by law to be continuously appropriated from year to year. Lawfully committed amounts include amounts legally encumbered at year end. Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for the expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is employed as an extension of formal budgetary integration in the governmental fund types. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are reported as reservation of fund balances since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities, and re-appropriations in the subsequent year provide authority to complete these transactions as expenditures. In addition, project-length (or non-lapsing) budgets are adopted for capital improvement and other projects, and grant-funded projects or programs that may not be completed within the fiscal year during which the budget appropriation for the project or program originates. Under these circumstances, the appropriation continues until project or program completion, or unless the appropriation is subsequently amended or rescinded by the City Council. In the Budgetary Comparison Schedules, the “Original Budget” column includes the final adopted budget amounts, re-appropriations for prior year encumbrances, and continuing appropriations for project-length budgets automatically carried over from prior years. The City Charter requires the City Council, upon recommendation of the City Manager and after providing sufficient funds to meet debt service and operating needs, to annually set aside in the enterprise funds an amount to be used for the acquisition and betterment of plant facilities. Such amounts, if any, would be shown in the financial statements as cash and investments held for betterment of plant facilities. No such funds were set aside during the year ended June 30, 2006.

94

City of Santa Cruz Required Supplementary Information, Continued For the year ended June 30, 2006

1. BUDGETARY INFORMATION, Continued Budgets are adopted each year for all general, special revenue, debt service, and capital projects funds. These governmental fund budgets are prepared on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), except in the following areas: ¾

Budgetary basis revenues include repayments of loan principal. Budgetary basis expenditures include loans made. On a GAAP basis both of these are considered as reclassifications of fund balance (between reserved and unreserved fund balance).

¾

GAAP basis revenues include the fair value adjustment to investment earnings. GAAP basis expenditures include compensated absences expense. Neither of these are included in the budgetary basis.

A reconciliation of differences between budgetary and GAAP revenues and expenditures follows the budget comparison schedules.

Since the City has less than 100 active members in Fire and Police plans in at least one valuation since June 30, 2004, the City is required to participate in a risk pool. An actuarial valuation was performed with other participants within the same risk pool. Therefore, standalone information of the schedule of the funding progress for the City was not disclosed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Non-Major Governmental Funds Special Revenue Funds: Police - Accounts for state and federal grants and other revenues restricted to be used for police programs. State Highway Funds - This fund is used to account for the City's apportionment of the State excise tax on gasoline and other related grants or receipts that are restricted for the planning, construction and maintenance of streets and roads. It is also used to account for a subvention of the State sales tax on gasoline (Traffic Congestion Relief Funds) that are restricted for street and highway maintenance, and rehabilitation and reconstruction of necessary associated facilities such as drainage and traffic control devices. Traffic Impact Fee Funds - This fund is used for capital improvements to mitigate traffic impacts generated by land development. The fee provides financial resources for improvements to transit stops, bike and pedestrian facilities, signal coordination, park and ride lots, and other alternative transportation sources impacted by development, and is levied on all Citywide projects requiring a building permit (residential remodels and limited expansions expected to generate less than five new trips per day are exempt). Parks and Recreation - Accounts for tax and fee revenues restricted for parks and recreation use. Housing and Community Development - Accounts for receipts and expenditures under the Housing and Community Development Act, which includes Community Development Block Grant funds and HOME program funds. It also is used to account for Red Cross housing reconstruction loan repayments and income and related expenditures for a City-owned rental property. Transportation Development Act Fund - This fund is used to account for receipts of State Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds restricted to be used for specialized or unmet transit needs. Acting as the public agency sponsor, the City contracts with non-profit agencies to meet these obligations. Debt Service Fund: General Obligation Bonds - This fund accounts for the debt service for a $7 million general obligation bond issue approved by voters in November 1998. Funds for payment of principal and interest on the bonds are generated by a property tax override assessment of $9.00 per $100,000 of assessed value. Capital Projects Fund: General Capital Improvement - This fund is used to account for capital improvements for which special projects funds have not been established. A portion of the City's transient occupancy tax receipts, combined with other funding sources, such as grants, provides funding for capital projects of general benefit, such as storm drain improvements, or improvements to public buildings.

90,000

Notes: Total Direct Tax Rate is from Table 8. With the passage of a constitutional amendment (Proposition 13) and subsequently enacted State legislation, property is assessed according to a base year rather than on a percentage of market value. Accordingly, a reliable estimate of actual value of taxable property within the City is not possible.

Total Overlapping Rate Total Direct and Overlapping Rate

Notes: 1

Rates are per $100.00 of assessed value.

2

Overlapping rates are those of entities that apply to property owners within the City of Santa Cruz. Not all overlapping rates apply to all property owners (e.g., the rates for school districts apply only to the proportion of the city's property owners whose property is located within the geographic boundaries of the school district).

3

The passage of a constitutional amendment (Proposition 13) in June 1978 limits the property tax rate to a base of $1.00 per $100.00. The $1.00 rate is levied by the County and apportioned to local agencies according to a formula perscribed by the California legislature
