SUITE 200 IRVINE, CALIFORNIA 92612 (9491474-2020 Fax (949) 263-5520 Water Commissioners Board Municipal Water Department of the City of San Bernardino, California INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT We have audited the accompanying financial statements of each major fund of the Municipal Water Department of the City of San Bernardino (the "Municipal Water Department"), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2005, which collectively comprise the Municipal Water Department's basic financial statements, as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Water Department's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 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 financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions. As discussed in Note I, the financial statements present only the Municipal Water Department and are not intended to present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the City of San Bernardino, California, and the results of its operations and cash flows of its proprietary nmd types, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Municipal Water Department of the City of San Bernardino, as of June 30, 2005, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, of the Municipal Water Department of the City of San Bernardino for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The information identified in the accompanying table of contents as management's discussion and analysis and required supplementary information are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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. MEMBERS OF AICPA AND CALIFORNIA SOCIETY OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS MEMBER OF AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS PRIVATE COMPANIES PRACTICE SECTION Water Commissioners Board Municipal Water Department of the City of San Bernardino, California Page Two Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Municipal Water Department's basic financial statements. The individual fund statements and schedules listed in the table of contents are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The fund financial statements and schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The statistical tables have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated November 4, 2005 on our consideration of the Municipal Water Department's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements, and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That rep011 is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit. ~,"'/__"'/AI?"":',,/:,,; 4~,J November 4, 2005 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 3 (This page intentionally left blank.) 4 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Our discussion and analysis of the San Bernardino Municipal Water Department's financial perfonnance provides an overview of the Department's financial activities for the year ended June 30, 2005. Please read it in conjunction with the Department's basic financial statements. This annual financial report consists of two parts; Management's Discussion and Ana]ysis (this section), and the Basic Financial Statements. The financial statements include notes that explain some of the infonnation therein, as well as provide more detailed data. ]n December 1998, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statement No. 33, Accounting and Financia] Reporting for Non-Exchange Transactions. GASB No. 33 set new revenue recognition rules, including the reporting of contributed capital as Income in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Equity. In June ] 999, the GASB issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for State and Loca] Governments. GASB No. 34 establishes financial reporting standards for state and local governments, cities, villages, and special purpose governments. GASB No. 34 required the following changes to the Department's financial statements: 1. The fonnat of the balance sheet has been changed. Assets and liabilities are now categorized as current and noncurrent. The equity section is displayed in three categories: (1) invested in capita] assets, net of related debt, (2) restricted, and (3) unrestricted. Unrestricted equity is no longer reserved or designated on the face of the balance sheet. 2. The Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Equity now reports contributed capital as revenue, rather than a direct change to equity. 3. The Statement of Cash F]ows now includes a summary of the cash flows from operating activities and continues to reconcile the reasons why cash from operating activities differs from operating income. Financial Hil!hlil!hts During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Water Fund net assets increased $]4.5 million. This is primarily due to $13.7 million in capita] contributions for the year. The Water Department's decrease of operating revenue ($1,007,056), increase of operating expense ($],344,231) and decrease of non-operating revenue ($1,]43,787) combined to decrease net profit by $3,495,074. Net profit decreased from a $4,343,535 gain to an $848,461 gain from 2004 to 2005. The net profit of $.8 million and contributed capita] of $13.7 million increased net assets by $]4.5 million. During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Sewer Fund net assets increased $5.2 million. The Sewer Department's increase in operating revenue ($2,773,649), increase in operating expense ($2,629,725) and decrease of non-operating expense ($895,109) combined to decrease net loss by $1,039,033. Net profit increased from a $1,085,000 loss to a $45,967 loss from 2004 to 2005. The net loss of $.04 million and contributed capital of $5.2 million increased net assets by 5.2 million. 5 Financial Analvsis of the Department Equity - The Water Fund's net assets increased $14.5 million between fiscal years 2004 and 2005, increasing from $94.3 million to $108.8 million. The primary reason for the increase is the $13.7 million in capital contributions. Other assets and other liabilities increased substantially due to entry into the Consent Decree. More detailed information about the Consent Decree is presented in Note 12 to the financial statements. The Sewer Fund's net assets increased from $91.9 million to $97.1 million between fiscal years 2004 and 2005. The primary reason for the increase is the $5.2 million in capital contributions.

This decrease is due to a smaller volume of water purchased due to wet weather conditions last winter. The Water Fund's operating expenses increased 6.7% to $22.3 million. Operating expenses increased primarily due to an overall increase in labor and fringe benefit costs of about $.8 million, and an increase in legal fees of about $.8 million related to the completion of the Consent Decree. The Water Fund's non-operating revenues (expenses) decreased 29.7% to $2.6 million due to a $2.5 million gain on the sale of a $3 million land p~rce1 in fiscal year 2004. Capital contributed to the Water Department increased 260.5% to $13.7 million due to increased construction activity in our service area and the partial use of an $8.5 million grant from the Department of Defense. The combination of non-operating revenues ($2.6 million) and contributed capital ($13.7 million), plus the current year operating loss of $1.7 million caused an increase in net assets of $14.5 million. The Sewer Fund's operating revenues increased by 15.4% to $20.2 million. TIle Sewer Fund's operating expenses increased 16.4% to $19.2 million. Operating revenues increased due to a rate increase effective July I, 2004. Operating expenses increased partially due to an increase in depreciation expense ($1.0 million) caused by a reclassification of fixed assets into shorter, more accurate useful lives. Operating expenses also increased due to additional administrative fees owed to the City of San Bernardino ($.5 million) along with additional electricity ($.2 million) and chemical ($.2 million) costs in plant operations. 6 The Sewer Fund's non-operating revenues (expenses) decreased 45% to ($1.1 million) due to an investment adjustment of $694,000 in fiscal year 2004 which decreased investment income by this amount. Capital contributed to the Sewer Fund increased to $5.2 million. The net loss of $.04 million and contributed capital of$5.2 million left an increase of$5.2 mil1ion to net assets.

This amount represents a net increase (including additions and deductions) of $16.9 million or 21.2% from the prior year. A $4.3 million increase in property, plant and equipment and a $15.5 million increase in construction in progress were partial1y offset by a $2.9 million increase in accumulated depreciation. The primary reason for the $16.9 million increase in net capital assets is due to increased construction in progress for newer projects, such as the Enhanced Reliability Schedule of Improvements projects. At June 30, 2005, the Sewer Fund had invested $110.7 million in capital assets net of $64.1 million of accumulated depreciation. This amount represents a net decrease (including additions and deductions) of $1.8 million or 1.6% from the prior year.

At June 30, 2005, the Sewer Fund had $50.2 million in bonds outstanding, a decrease of 6.3% from the prior year. No new debt was issued during the year and no new debt is anticipated in the coming year.

IS MUNICIPAL WATER DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA Notes to Basic Financial Statements Year ended June 30, 2005 (1 ) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Reporting Entitv The Municipal Water Department of the City of San Bernardino, California ("the Department") is governed under the Charter of the City of San Bernardino. A Board of Water Commissioners who is appointed by the Mayor of the City of San Bernardino has certain limited powers with respect to the Department. The Department has no separate organizing document and is a part of the legal entity of the City of San Bernardino. The Municipal Water Department of the City of San Bernardino operates two enterprise funds: the Water Utility Enterprise Fund (Water Utility) and the Sewer Utility Enterprise Fund (Sewer Utility). The Water Utility also provides administrative services and contracted services to the Sewer Utility. The accounting policies of the Department conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applicable to governments. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management also determines the accounting principles to be used in the preparation of the financial statements. A description of the significant accounting policies employed in the preparation of these financial statements follows: Fund Accounting The accounts of the Department are organized and operated on the basis of funds. A fund is an independent fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. Fund accounting segregates funds according to their intended purpose and uses them to aid management in demonstrating compliance with finance-related legal and contractual provisions. The Department's financial statements include only enterprise funds, which are a proprietary fund type. Enterprise funds are used to account for those operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business or where the Board has decided that the determination of revenues earned, costs incurred and/or net income is necessary for management accountability. Basis of Accounting Proprietary funds are accounted for on the flow of economic resources measurement focus and use the accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred. The Department applies all applicable GASB pronouncements in accounting and reporting for its proprietary operations and applicable F ASBs that occurred prior to November 30, 1989. 16 MUNICIPAL WATER DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. (Continued) Cash and Investments Investments are reported in the accompanying balance sheet at fair value, except for certain certificates of deposit and investment contracts that are reported at cost because they are not transferable and they have terms that are not affected by changes in market interest rates. Changes in fair value that occur during a fiscal year are recognized as investment income reported for that fiscal year. Investment income includes interest earnings, changes in fair value and any gains or losses realized upon the liquidation or sale of investments. Cash for the Department is pooled with the City of San Bernardino for investment purposes in order to maximize interest earnings. Such earnings are credited to the various funds within the City of San Bernardino based upon average monthly cash balances. The investment policies and the associated risk factors as they relate to the Department are included in the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments (including restricted assets) with maturity of three months or less when purchased. Receivables Trade receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts based on management's estimate. Interfund Receivables and Pavables Transactions between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either "interfund receivables/payables" (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or "advances to/from other funds" (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). All interfund transactions are eliminated for financial reporting purposes. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost, using the average-cost method, or market. 17 MUNICIPAL WATER DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. (Continued) Restricted Assets Various resources of the Department are limited as to their use by law or by certificates of participation and bond covenants and are classified on the balance sheet as restricted assets. Proceeds of the certificates of participation and bonds are restricted for the construction of water and sewer system improvements and for repayments. Assessments collected from property owners are restricted for the payment of bond principal and interest. Also, fees imposed on new real estate development are restricted by law for the construction of capital improvements that benefit the development projects. Issuance Costs and Discount Issuance costs, discounts, and deferred funding charges for certificates of participation and bonds payable are being amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the related certificate or bond or the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest method. Capital Assets Property, plant, equipment and water rights are recorded at cost. The Department's policy is to capitalize all property having a value of $5,000 or more and a life expectancy of 3 years or more. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. When material interest incurred during the construction phase is reflected in the capitalized value of the asset constructed, net of interest earned on the invested proceeds over the same period, if any. Overhead costs are capitalized at the rate of 28.9% for labor/benefits, 10% for materials/supplies, 2% for significant contracts and are reflect in the capitalized value of the asset constructed. Depreciation has been provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Useful lives for depreciation purposes are as follows: Wells, pumping plants, reservoirs, and distribution system Interceptor lines Disposal plant Leasehold improvements Shops, offices, stores, and yards Tools and equipment Office equipment Communication equipment Computer equipment Automotive equipment 8 to 50 years 50 years 35 to 50 years 5 to 25 years 10 to 20 years 4 to 20 years 5 to 20 years 8 to 10 years 3 to 5 years 3 to 15 years Equipment leased under capital leases is recorded at cost, and amortization has been provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life. Amortization is included in depreciation expense. 18 MUNICIPAL WATER DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. (Continued) Compensated Absences Employees gain a vested right to accumulated unpaid vacation based on years of service but cannot accumulate more than two years of accrued vacation. Once each fiscal year, employees with at least three weeks of accrued vacation have the option of receiving payment at their regular rate of pay for up to two weeks of regular paid vacation. Employees' vacation benefits are recognized as a liability of the Department. Sick leave is accumulated without limit for each employee at the rate of 3.7 hours per pay period. Leave with pay is provided when employees are absent for health reasons. Upon termination employees are entitled to 25 percent of accumulated sick leave with five years of service and a minimum of 480 hours of accumulated sick leave. Upon retirement or death, employees are entitled to 50 percent of accumulated sick leave up to a maximum of 1,152 hours. Accrued sick leave benefits are recognized as a liability of the Department. Classification of Revenues and Expenses Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the Department's enterprise funds are charges to customers for services. The Department also recognizes as operating revenue the cost of connecting new customers to the system. Operating expenses for the enterprise funds include the cost of services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses. Capital contributions consist of contributed capital assets and special charges that are legally restricted for capital expenditures by state law or by the Board action that established those charges. Interfund Eliminations The interfund eliminations column represents entries made to eliminate interfund income and expenditure transactions between the water and sewer funds for the purposes of consolidated financial statements. 19 MUNICIPAL WATER DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued) (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the Municipal Water Department manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term. and longer term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations. 22 MUNICIPAL WATER DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued) (2) Cash and Investments, (Continued) Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk, (Continued) Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the Municipal Water Department's investments (including investments held by bond trustee) to market interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution of the Municipal Water Department's investments by maturity: Remaining Maturing (in Months) 12 Months 13 to 24 25 to 60 More Than Or Less Months Months 60 Months Investment Type Equity in City Investment pool Held by bond trustee: Money market funds Federal agency securities Total $ 70,179,763 70,179,763 752 752 91,602 91,602 $ 70 272.117 70.272.117 Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required by (where applicable) the California Government Code, the Municipal Water Department's investment policy, or debt agreements, and the actual rating as of year end for each investment type.

There were no investments in anyone issuer (other than U.S. Treasury securities, mutual funds, and external investment pools) that represent 5% or more of total Municipal Water Department. Custodial Credit Risk Custodial credit risk for deposits (including banlc investment contracts) is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code and the Entity's investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure Municipal Water Depal1ment deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits. For investments identified herein as held by bond trustee, the bond trustee selects the investment under the terms of the applicable trust agreement, acquires the investment, and holds the investment on behalf of the reporting government. 24 MUNICIPAL WATER DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued) (2) Cash and Investments. (Continued) Investment in State Investment Pool The Municipal Water Department is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by the California Government Code under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California.

(Continued) The State Revolving Fund loans between the State Water Resources Control Board and the Santa Ana Watershed Authority provided funding for the construction of the San Bernardino/Colton Rapid Infiltration Extraction (RIX) Project. The loan agreements were amended in April 2001 to transfer the loan obligations to the successors in interest, being the City of San Bernardino Board of Water Commissioners, and the City of Colton. The loans require the Department to establish a Wastewater Capital Reserve Sinking Fund (WCRF) for expansion, major repair or replacement of wastewater treatment works at one-half of one percent of the total loan amount over a period of ten years. The Department has decided to use the revenues of the Sewer Utility Fund towards repayment of the loans.

(Continued) Prior Year Defeasance of Debt As of June 30, 2005, approximately $1,233,000 of outstanding 1990 Water Facilities Certificates of Participation are considered in substance defeased through the issuance of the Series 1998A Water and Wastewater Revenue Bonds (see Bonds Payable) and are not included as a liability of the Department in these financial statements. (6) Defined Benefit Pension Plan Qualified employees are covered under a multiple-employer contributory retirement plan maintained by an agency of the State of California, California Public Employees' retirement System (PERS). Plan Description The Department is a part of the City of San Bernardino. The City contributes to PERS, an agent multiple-employer public employee retirement system defined benefit pension plan administered by PERS. All employees who work 1,000 hours or more are eligible to participate. The plan provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries.

(7) Post-Retirement Health Care Benefits In addition to the pension benefits described in note 6, the Department provides the minimum monthly premium for post-retirement medical-health care benefits to each retiree that meets the eligibility criteria for coverage under a department group health insurance plan. The retirees may continue to participate in the health care plan provided the retirees make the arrangements for premiums to be paid with the group plan administrator. This benefit is dependent upon the continued approval of the insurance carriers.s 33 MUNICIPAL WATER DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued) Q) Post-Retirement Health Care Benefits, (Continued) For those retirees who retired on or after attaining age 55 with a minimum of 15 years of service, the Department's contribution is paid directly to the group plan administrator for a portion of the premium up to $482 per month. Premium amounts in excess of the contribution are paid by the retirees. Twenty-five Water Utility retirees and three Sewer Utility retiree are receiving the benefit. For those retirees who are not eligible to receive the monthly contribution and currently enrolled in the Department health group insurance plan, the Department pays to the group plan administrator the amount equivalent to the then current minimum eligibility amount from the previous health plan coverage with the California Public Employees Retirement System.

United States of America. The consent decree settles the City's and the state's claims arising from groundwater contamination allegedly caused by the United States' Department of the Army. The consent decree contains a number of provisions obligating the City (the City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department) to operate and maintain the Newmark Groundwater Superfund Site. The consent decree provided for the payment of $69 million dollars from the United States Department of the Army (Army) to the City of San Bernardino for performance of the work outlined in the consent decree. Essentially, upon entry of the consent decree, the City of San Bernardino, through its Water Department, received title to all of the facilities constructed by the Unitea States Environmental Protection Agency (USEP A) for the Newmark Groundwater Superfund Site and agreed to operate and maintain the groundwater extraction and treatment system (the Newmark Groundwater Superfund Site) for a period of fifty (50) years. The $69 million dollar payment by the Army consisted of $59 million for operation and maintenance (O&M) and $10 million for construction of certain capital facilities needed in the future. The funds received are subject to strict limitations on how they may be spent. O&M including interest or other returns actually earned on that account, have been set aside to be used only to operate and maintain the effectiveness of the Interim Remedial Action at the Newmark Groundwater Superfund Site. The O&M funds can not be used to . fund activities required to construct, operate or maintain the Department's potable water supply system after the point of interconnection between the Newmark Groundwater Superfund Site treatment systems and the Department's potable water supply system, or any activities required to construct, operate or maintain other extraction and treatment facilities for the Department's water supply, unless specifically allowed in the consent decree. Pursuant to the Consent Decree, the Construction funds in the amount of $10 million, including interest or other returns actually earned on that account, have been set aside to be used only for (i) funding construction of treatment and directly related transmission systems that expanded the De}Jartment's capacity to deliver potable water to its residents, and (ii) funding for work performed by the Department to complete construction of the Muscoy Operable Unit extraction system. The Department will complete the construction of the Muscoy Operable Unite extraction system, first using $6,249,000 currently obligated by EP A for that purpose, and then using Consent Decree funds. Consent Decree funds cannot be used for costs incurred by the Department to operate, maintain, repair or retrofit components of the Newmark Groundwater Superfund Site extraction and treatment systems that were constructed by EP A. At the time of receipt, the Department recorded the consent decree proceeds as deferred revenue. Revenue associated with the consent decree are recognized at the time that eligible expenses are incurred. With the $69 million dollar payment from the Federal government, the Department used $50+ million to purchase a blended insurance policy from AIG Insurance. This policy provides both }Jollution legal liability coverage and a financial vehicle/insurance policy blend that provides cost cap coverage for the first 30 years of the Department's 50-year obligations. This policy pays the Department back for itemized expenses and, when appropriate, for the capital expenses that will be incurred. The payment made to purchase thiS insurance has been recorded as prepaid insurance on the balance sheet of the Department's Water Fund. This asset is amortized over the period of benefit as costs are incuITed. 39 MUNICIP AL WATER DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued) (12) Consent Decree, (Continued) It is anticipated that the remaining Consent Decree funds in the amount of approximately $18 million (after purchase of the AIG policy) will be sufficient to pay for a financial vehicle that will payout years 31 through 50. The Department expects to invest the remaining funds III such an investment agreement when the market Rrovides for an appropriate entry into that Rarticular form of investment. Currently~ these funds are invested substantially in a LAIF (Local Agency Investment FunQ) account in the investment pool maintained by the State of California.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Department's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. Such provisions included those provisions of laws and regulations identified in the Guidelines for Comptroller Audits of California Redevelopment Agencies, issued by the State Controller and as interpreted in the Suggested Auditing Procedures for Accomplishing Compliance Audits of California Redevelopment Agencies, issued by the Governmental Accounting and Auditing Committee of the California Society of Certified Public Accountants. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Department's internal control over financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting. Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control that might be a material weakness. A material weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the more internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we consider to be a material weakness. 61 MEMBER5 OF AICPA AND CALIFORNIA 50Clffi OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT5 MEMBER OF MlERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS PRIVATE COMPANIES PRACTICE SECTION Water Commissioners Board Municipal Water Department of the City of San Bernardino, California Page Two This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Water Commissioners Board and management of the Department and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. ~ -,/ 4fS(/~'R~ ~~,P November 4, 2005 62
