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 ("Department"), as of and for the year ended
June 30, 2008, which collectively comprise the Department's basic financial statements, as
listed in the table of contents, These financial statements are the responsibility of the
management of the Department. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial
statements based on our audit. The prior year summarized partial comparative information has
been derived from the financial statements of the Department for the year ended June 30, 2007
and, in our report dated January 4, 2008, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those
financial statements,
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 opinion,
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only the financial activities of the
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 fund 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 Department, as of June 30, 2008, and the respective changes in
financial position and cash flows of the Department for the year then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
As described further in note 7 to the financial statements, the Department changed its method of
accounting for post employment benefits for fiscal years ending on or after June 30, 2008,

The information identified in the accompanying table of contents as management's discussion
and analysis is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is 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.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the Department's basic financial statements. The schedules listed in the
table of contents as supplementary information are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. These schedules 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
December 20, 2008 on our consideration of the 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 report 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.

City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department
Management's Discussion and Analysis
June 30, 2008 and 2007
(in thousands)
As management of the San Bernardino Municipal Water Department (Department), a
department of the City of San Bernardino, California (City), we offer the readers of the
Department's financial statement a narrative overview and analysis of the financial
statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008. The Department operates the
water system for the City and sewer treatment for the City, the City of Loma Linda,
California, and portions of the area served by East Valley Water District. We encourage
the readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with the
accompanying financial statements. All amounts, unless otherwise indicated, are
expressed in thousands of dollars.
Financial highlights
The Department is comprised of two major operating funds; the water utility and the
sewer utility. The assets of the Department exceeded its liabilities at the close of fiscal
years 2008 and 2007 by $248,054 and $238,367, respectively. Of these amounts,
$32,305 and $22,890 respectively; were available to meet the Department's ongoing
obligations to creditors and customers (the unrestricted net assets). The Department's
net assets have increased by $9,687 and $16,136 respectively. Unrestricted net assets
represent 58% and 46% of annual operating expenses for fiscal years 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
Overview of the financial statements
This discussion and analysis letter is intended to serve as an introduction to the
Department's financial statements. The Department operation is accounted for as an
enterprise fund of the City. These financial statements include the activities of the
Department and provide comparative information for the preceding two fiscal years.
Information regarding citywide financial results is available in the City's Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report.
The Department's financial statements are comprised of two components: 1) financial
statements, and 2) notes to the financial statements. Included as part of the financial
statements are the balance sheets, statement of revenues, expenses and changes in
net assets, and statements of cash flow.
The balance sheets present the assets and liabilities with the difference reported as net
assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator
of the improvement in or deterioration of the financial condition of the Department.
The statements of revenues, expenses and changes in fund assets present information
indicating how the Department's net assets have changed during the most recent two
fiscal years. Results of operations are recorded using the accrual basis of accounting,
whereby transactions are reported as underlying events occur, regardless of the timing
of cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in these statements for some
items that will result in cash flow in future fiscal periods.
The statement of cash flows presents the fiows of cash and cash equivalents during the
last fiscal years, including certain restricted amounts.
The notes to the financial statements provide additional information essential to the full
understanding of the data provided in the financial statements.

Water Utility:
Financial analvsis
As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of an entities'
financial position. The water utility's assets exceed liabilities by $148,064 and $138,303
at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Over 88% of the water utility's net assets are represented by its investment in capital
assets, such as wells, reservoirs, treatment facilities and the distribution system; less
any related outstanding debt used to acquire those assets. The water utility utilizes
these assets to provide service to customers. Therefore, these assets are not available
for future spending. Resources necessary to repay the outstanding debt is funded by
other sources, such as operations.
Approximately 6% of the water utility's net assets represent resources that are subject to
external restrictions on how they may be used. These restrictions are for items such as
debt repayment and other legally restricted purposes.
The remainder represents the unrestricted portion which may be used to meet the water
utility's ongoing obligations to creditors and customers.

Liabilities
Total liabilities as of June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $92,750 and $84,019, respectively,
representing an increase of $8,731. Most significantly, the water utility obtained a
second $10,000 note from the California Infrastructure and Economic Development
Bank to fund improvements in the City's northwest expansion.
Net assets
Total net assets as of June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $248,054 and $238,367,
respectively, representing and increase of $9,686. Net assets invested in capital, net of
debt, increased $3,347 due to continued expansion and refurbishment of water
transmission and distribution infrastructure and sewer treatment facilities.
The water utility's statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net assets are for
the years ended June 30 are summarized as follows:
2008 2007 2006

Revenues
Total revenues for fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 are $42,807 compared with $43,965
in fiscal year 2007. The decrease of $1,158 is due in part to lower water sales and a
decrease in capital contributions caused by the slow-down in the local economy.
Expenses
Total expenses for fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 are $33,046 as compared with
$28,383 in fiscal year 2007. The increase of $4,662 is a result of numerous variances
including a one-time recognition of prior unapplied overhead costs ($1,339), recognition
of GASB 45 future medical retirement benefits ($973) and an increase in supplemental
water purchases ($741).

have exacerbated this low supply condition. Management has been actively pursuing
political strategies to augment water supply, including preparation of planning and
environmental documents for a recycled water recharge project. However, the only
source of additional supply at this time is imported water and the costs for imported
water have increased and will continue to increase, without any doubt, into the future.
The water utility actively encourages conservation measures and has embarked in the
last 3 years on a progressively more aggressive conservation program. At this time, the
utility has implemented the last of a three-year water rate increase. It is expected that
the utility will pursue additional rate increases in the near future to support increases in
costs for imported water, increasing costs for oil and gas products and electricity, the
rehabilitation of aging infrastructure and increasing costs related to maintaining,
improving, retaining and training human resources.
Sewer Utility:
Financial analvsis
The sewer utility's assets exceed liabilities by $99,989 and $100,065 at June 30, 2008
and 2007, respectively. Over 66% of the sewer utility's net assets are represented by its
investment in capital assets, such as production, distribution and treatment facilities, less
any related outstanding debt used to acquire those assets. The sewer utility utilizes
these assets to provide service to customers. Therefore, these assets are not available

Assets
Total assets as of June 30,2008 and 2007 were $144,125 and $146,960, respectively,
representing a decrease of $2,835. "Net utility plant" decreased as existing plant's
depreciation exceeded new plant recorded as assets.
Liabilities
Total liabilities as of June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $44,136 and $46,895, respectively,
representing a decrease of $2,759. The sewer utility continues to payoff notes and
certificates of participation without incurring additional debt for construction. Accounts
payable increased due in part to the recognition of the unfunded annual required
contribution for pension costs as required by GASB 45 (see footnote 7 to the audited
financial statements).
Net assets
Total net assets as of June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $99,989 and $100,065,
respectively, representing a decrease of $76. Slight increases in invested capital were
offset by minor decreases in restricted and unrestricted assets.

ManaQement overview
The sewer utility is authorized to increase rates by 5% in each of the next two years.
The sewer utility is working with the water utility toward a 30% design and environmental
review for a tertiary expansion at the Chandler Water Reclamation Facility, which would
provide both Title 22 and "super clean" recycled water. The tertiary-treated recycled
water would be used to irrigate City parks and green areas, roadside medians, golf
courses and potential private facilities, while the "super clean" recycled water would be
used to recharge the groundwater basin.

MUNICIPAL WATER DEPARTMENT
OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
Year ended June 30, 2008
(1) Summarv of Siqnificant Accountinq Policies
Reportinq 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 and approved by the City Council
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 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 Accountinq
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 of Water Commissioners has decided that the determination of revenues earned,
costs incurred and/or net income is necessary for management accountability.
Basis of Accountinq
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 FASBs that occurred prior to
November 30,1989.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements

(1) Summary of Siqnificant Accountinq 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 fiows, 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.

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. 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 reflected 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

Equipment leased under capital leases is recorded at cost, and amortization has been
provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated usefui life. Amortization is
included in depreciation expense.
Comoensated 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 empioyees 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 ieave benefits are recognized as a liability
of the Department.
Ciassification of Revenues and Expenses
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating
items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result' from providing services and
producing and delivering goods in connection with 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 recognizes the collection of fees to
connect new customers to the system as operating revenues, 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 non-operating 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 of Water
Commissioners 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

Disclosures Relatinq to Interest Rate Risjs
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the
fair value of an investment Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the
greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates, One of the
ways that the 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,

Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits (including bank 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 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 toial amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows
financial institutions to secure the Department's deposits by pledging first tnust 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.
Investment in State Investment Pool
The 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. The fair value of the Department's investment in this
pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the
Department's pro-rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF
portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). The balance available for
withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded
on an amortized cost basis.

On March 18, 2004, the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank
(CIEDB) issued its Infrastructure State Revolving Fund Revenue Bonds to provide
funding for a portion of the costs of Phases I and II of the Water System Reliability
Schedule of Improvements including transmission mains, booster stations, and a
reservoir. Installment Sale Agreement No. 02-027 between the Department and the
CIEDB was pledged as security for the bonds. The Department sets aside water
revenues to make installment payments on the bonds as due.
The State Revolving Fund loans between the State Water Resources Control Board and
the Santa Ana Watershed Authority provided funding for the constnuction 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 Ihe 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.

(5) Long-Term Debt (Continued)
In 1998, the Department refinanced the acquisition and construction of certain capital
improvements which were originally financed by the 1992 Sewer Certificates of
Participation, dated February 1, 1992. The refinancing was accomplished by issue of
the 1998 Refunding Sewer Revenue Certificates of Participation in the amount of
$36,230,000. The proceeds of the 1998 Certificates were invested and used to pay
interest on the 1998 issue until February 1, 2001. The 1992 Certificates were called on
February 1,2001 at a prepayment premium of two percent. The funds from the 1998
issue were used to payoff the 1992 Certificates. The Department will now begin paying
the installment payments on the 1998 Certificates from the net revenues on the Sewer
System.
The Department has covenanted that it will budget amounts sufficient to make all
installment payments due.
The required reserve for the 1998 Refunding Sewer Revenue Certificates of Participation
is $2,125,000. As of June 30, 2008, the reserve was fully funded.
Costs related to the issuance of the 1998 Certificates have been paid out of the proceeds
of the issue.

Compensated Absences
The Department's policies relating to compensated absences are described in note 1.
This liability, amounting to $1,963,653 and $2,101,334 at June 30, 2008 and June 30,
2007, respectively, will be paid in future years from future resources from the water and
sewer funds.
(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. Benefit provisions
are established by state statutes, as legislatively amended, within the Public Employees'
Retirement Law. PERS issues a separate comprehensive annual financial report that
includes financial statements and required supplementary information. Copies of the
PERS annual financial report may be obtained from the PERS Executive Office, 400 "P"
Street, Sacramento, California 95814. PERS also issues a separate report on the
actuarial valuation of the plan of the City of San Bernardino, which is availabie at the
Department. Additional information regarding the City's participation in PERS can be
found in the City's financial statements.
(7) Postemployment Benefits other than Pensions
Plan Description: The Department administers a single-employer defined benefit
healthcare plan which provides medical insurance benefits to eligible retirees and their
spouses in accordance with various labor agreements. The Department reports the
financial activity of the plan as a trust fund, and no separate financial report is prepared.

Eligibility: Employees are eligible for retiree health benefits if they retire from the
Department on or after age 50 with at least 5 years of service, and are eligible for a
PERS pension. Membership of the plan consisted of the following at June 30, 2008, the

Funding Policy: The contribution requirements of plan members and the Department are
established and may be amended by the Board of Water Commissioners. The required
contribution is based on projected pay-as-you-go financing requirements, with an
additional amount to prefund benefits as detenmined annually by the Board of Water
Commissioners. For fiscal year 2007-08, the Department contributed $632,000 to the
plan, including $632,000 for current premiums (100% of total premiums). Plan members
receiving benefits contributed $146,000 (approximately 6.2% of total premiums) through
their required contribution. The Department pays up to the entire cost of health benefits
for eligible retirees and their spouses until age 65 subject to the City's vesting schedule.
Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation. The Department's annual other
postemployment benefit (OPEB) cost (expense) is calculated based on the annual
required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in
accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of
funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and
amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) not to exceed thirty years.
The following table shows the components of the Department's annual OPEB cost for
the year, the amount actually contributed to the plan, and changes in the Department's
net OPEB obligation:
The Department's annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed
to the plan, and the net OPEB obligation for 2008 and the two preceding years were as

Actuarial vaiuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported
amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the
future. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the
healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and
the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as
actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about
the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary
information following the notes to the financial statements, presents multi-year trend
information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing
over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for the benefits.
Actuarial Methods .and Assumptions. Projections of benefits for financial reporting
purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer
and the plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each
valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between employer and
plan members to that poinL The actuarial methods and assumptions used include
techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial
accrued liabilities and the actuarial assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of
the calculations.

The actuarial cost method used for determining the benefit obligations Is the Entry Age
Normal Cost Method. The actuarial assumptions included a 5.0 percent investment rate
of return, which is the assumed rate of the expected iong-term investment returns on
plan assets calculated based on the funded level of the plan at the valuation date, and
an annual health care cost trend rate between 9.5-10.9 percent initially, reduced by
decrements of between 0.65-.080% per year to an ultimate rate of 4.5 percent after the
tenth year. Both rates Included a 3.0 percent inflation assumption. The UML is being
amortized as a level percentage of projected payroll over 30 years. It is assumed the
Department's payroll will increase 3.25% per year.

(9) Joint Venture, (Continued)
San Bernardino Public Safety Authority
On April 1, 1968, the City of San Bernardino and the County of San Bernardino formed
the San Bernardino Public Safety Authority (PSA), a joint powers authority, as a
financing vehicle to construct (1) public safety buildings and (2) improvements to the
wastewater treatment plant.
According to the original joint powers agreement, title to the PSA-constructed
wasteweter treatment facility will automatically vest in the City with the residual cash
being transferred to the City after the bonds are repaid. A separate Board consisting of
three members, one appointed by the San Bernardino City Council and two members
appointed by the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors, governs PSA. Effective
with the transfer of the Sewer Utility to the Department, all the assets and activities of
PSA related to the wastewater treatment plant were also transferred to the Department
pursuant to the enabling resolution of October 1973 and are included in the property,
plant, and equipment of the Sewer Utility. The financial statements of PSA are available
at the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, County of San Bernardino, 385 N. Arrowhead
Avenue, 2nd Floor, San Bernardino, California 92402. The joint venture is not
experiencing fiscal stress.
Colton/San Bernardino Reoional Tertiary Treatment and Water Reclamation Authority
On August 2, 1994, the City of San Bernardino, through the Department, formed a joint
powers authority with the City of Colton to construct, operate, use, and maintain tertiary
wastewater treatment, disposal, and water reclamation systems, including the Regional
Rapid Infiltration and Extraction Facility (RIX). The Colton/San Bernardino Regional
Tertiary Treatment and Water Reclamation Authority is governed by a separate Board
consisting of four members, two of whom are appointed by the City of San Bernardino
through the Department's Board of Water Commissioners and two appointed by the City
Council of the City of Colton. Construction of the project was administered by the Santa
Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) and was substantially completed during
1996. Administration and operation of the project was turned over to the Colton/San
Bernardino Regional Tertiary Treatment and Water Reclamation Authority at that time.
Each of the cities, San Bernardino and Colton, has an undivided interest in the real
property and any related debt of the RIX project based on a split of 80 percent and 20
percent, respectively. The Departments' investment in the joint venture is included in the
property, plant, and equipment of the Department. The financial statements are available
at the Department. The joint venture is not experiencing fiscal stress.

immaterial.
(12) Consent Decree
In 1996, the City of San Bernardino ("City") filed a complaint against the United States of
America, Department of the Army ("Army") to recover damages, response costs and
other available remedies relating to contamination alleged to have originated at a World
War II Army installation known as Camp Ono. In March 2005, the United States District
Court, Central District, entered judgment, in the form of a consent decree (Consent
Decree), in the matter of City of San Bernardino v. United States of America. The
consent decree settles the City's and the State's claims arising from the groundwater
contamination allegedly caused by the Army. The Consent Decree contains a number of
provisions obligating the City (through the Municipal Water Department) to operate and
maintain the Newmark Groundwater Superfund site ("Site"). The Site consists of two
operable units, the Newmark Operable Unit and the Muscoy Operable Unit. The
Newmark Operable Unit was declared operational and functional in 1998.

Consent Decree settles the City's and the State's claims arising from the groundwater
contamination allegedly caused by the Army. The Consent Decree contains a number of
provisions obligating the City (through the Municipal Water Department of the City of San
Bernardino ("Department")) to operate and maintain the Newmark Groundwater
Superfund site ("Site"). The Site consists of two operable units, the Newmark Operable
Unit and the Muscoy Operable Unit. The Newmark Operable Unit was declared
operational and functional in 1998. In September 2007, the Muscoy Operable Unit was
declared operational and functional.
The Consent Decree provided for a payment of $69 million from the Army to the City for
performance of the work outlined in the Consent Decree. Upon entry of the Consent
Decree, the City, through the Department, received title to all facilities constructed by the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the Site and agreed to operate
and maintain the groundwater extraction and treatment system for a period of 50 years.
The $69 million dollar payment consisted of $59 million for operation and maintenance
and $10 million for the construction of certain capital facilities that would be required in
the future. The funds are subject to strict limitations, contained in the Consent Decree,
as to how the money may be spent.
Pursuant to the Consent Decree, $10 million, including interest earned, has been set
aside to be used only for (i) funding construction of treatment and directly related
transmission systems that expand the Department's capacity to deliver potable water,
and (iI) funding work performed by the Department to complete construction of the
Muscoy Operable Unit extraction system. These "capital facility" funds may not be used
for costs incurred to operate, maintain, repair or retrofit components of the site extraction
or treatment systems constructed by EPA.

(14) Subsequent Events
A number of financial institutions have reported financial difficulties as an indirect result
of delinquencies associated with home mortgages. The full ramifications of this are not
determinable at this time and it is not possible to determine with certainty all of the
institutions that might be impacted by current market conditions, nor the market
conditions that might exist at the time that investments might be liquidated, if liquidated
prior to maturity.
As discussed further in Note 12 ("Consent Decree"), on March 17, 2006, the Department
entered into a Guaranteed Investment Contract with AIG Match Funding Corporation.
The Department invested $16,482,039 of excess consent decree funds into an interest
bearing Escrow Fund investment with an interest rate of 4.95% per annum. These funds
were invested to pay for the costs associated with the water facilities defined in the
Consent Decree for the years 2035-2056. An additional $50 million was used to
purchase a blended insurance policy to provide a financial vehicle that provides cost cap
coverage for the first 30 years those expenses.
Subsequent to June 30, 2008, AIG has experienced financial difficulties. Although
specific concerns have not been raised with respect to the insurance programs of AIG,
the terms of the Guaranteed Investment Contract only provide the Department with the
position of a secured creditor with respect to an AIG bankruptcy. Given this concern, on
October 9, 2008, the Department negotiated and accepted a "payout" of the Guaranteed
Investment Contract in the amount of $18,661,876 which represented the principal and
accrued interest as of that date. The City is currently holding these funds in anticipation
of reinvestment into an appropriate long-term investment vehicle.

Board of Water Commissioners
Municipal Water Department of the City of
San Bernardino, California
REPORT ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS AND ON
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING BASED ON AN
AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
We have audited the financial statements of the Municipal Water Department of the City
of San Bernardino ("Department"), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2008, which
collectively comprise the Department's basic financial statements and have issued our
report thereon, dated January 20, 2008. 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. 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 Reportinq
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Department's internal control
over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose
of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Department's internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Department's internal control over financial reporting.
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions,
to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is defined
67

to be a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects
the District's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process or report financial data reliably
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than
a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the District's financial statements that is more
than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the District's internal control.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies,
that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial
statements will not be prevented or detected by the Department's internal control is
defined to be a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely
affects the District's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data
reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is
more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the District's financial statements
that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the District's
internal control.
Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting was for the limited
purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily
disclose all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies or
material weaknesses We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over
financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of Water
Commissioners, and management of the Department and is not intended to be and
should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
