PREFACE - ORGANIZATION OF THE CITY'S FUNDS
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the City's financial reporting system is organized on a fund basis consisting of three major fund types Governmental, Proprietary and Fiduciary;- and two self-balancing Account Groups: general fixed assets and general long-term debt. The City's various funds, as
summarized below, have been established in order to segregate and identify those financial transactions and resources associated with providing specific activities or
programs in conformance with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations.
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
Most of the City's programs and functions are provided and financed through the following Governmental Funds, which are distinguished by their measurement
focus in determining financial position and changes in financial position, rather than upon determining net income:
General Fund
Special Revenue Funds
Business Improvement Area (BIA)
Gas Tax
Transportation Development Act (TDA)
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Debt Service Fund
Capital Project Funds
Capital Outlay
Parkland Development
Transportation Impact Fee
Open Space Protection
Equipment Replacement
PROPRIETARY FUNDS
Proprietary type funds are distinguished from Governmental type funds by their similarity to private sector enterprises, as the intent is that the costs of providing
services - whether this service is to the public (Enterprise Funds) or internally to the organization (Internal Service Funds) - are to be financed or recovered
primarily through user charges. Enterprise funds may also be established to account for operations under which the organization or an outside granting agency has
decided that a periodic determination of net income under full accrual accounting is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control,
accountability, or other public purposes The following five enterprise funds are used by the City: Water, Sewer, Parking, Transit, and Golf. The City has no internal
service funds.
FIDUCIARY FUNDS
The following agency funds are used to account for assets held by the City solely in a custodial capacity for private individuals, organizations, or other governmental
agencies:
Whale Rock Commission
Jack House
Joint Recreational Use
Narcotics Task Force
General Agency
CDBG Loan Program
Bomb Task Force
ii
Duvall Fund
Hazardous Materials Task Force
CCCSIF Workers’ Compensation Insurance
CCCSIF Liability Insurance
ACCOUNT GROUPS
Except for assets and liabilities associated with Proprietary or Fiduciary fund types, the self-balancing Account Groups of General Fixed Assets and General LongTerm Debt are used for accounting control and accountability for the City's general fixed assets and the unmatured portion of principal outstanding on its general
long-term debt.

COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 1996-97
FINANCIAL CONDITION OVERVIEW
The City's fiscal condition at the end of 1996-97, continues to be strong by local, state and national standards. Overall, the City's fiscal results for 1996-97
met or exceeded projections in virtually all areas of our operations.
Most importantly, the General Fund balance at June 30, 1997 compares favorably with budget estimates. After adjusting for encumbrances, the ending
unreserved General Fund balance is $6,034,400. This is 28% of operating expenditures compared with the City's financial plan policy of 20%; and is
$1,130,100 greater than expected. As discussed in greater detail below, improved revenues primarily accounted for this favorable variance. In summary,
while significant financial challenges continue to face the City in maintaining basic service levels and achieving our capital improvement goals, we are wellpositioned at the end of 1996-97 to meet these challenges.
REPORT PURPOSE AND ORGANIZATION
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the City of San Luis Obispo, California (City) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 was
prepared by the City's Department of Finance. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and fairness of the
presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the City. We believe the data, as presented, is accurate in all material aspects; that it is presented in a
manner designed to fairly set forth the financial position and results of operations of the City as measured by the financial activity of its various funds; and
that all disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain the maximum understanding of the City's financial affairs have been included.
This report is presented in four sections: introductory, financial, statistical, and single audit. These sections are introduced by a preface which includes
guidelines for using the CAFR and an explanation of the organization of the City's funds. The introductory section includes this transmittal memorandum,
directory of officials and advisory bodies, and the City's organization chart. The financial section includes the independent auditors' report, the general
purpose financial statements and the combining and individual fund and account group financial statements and schedules. As reflected in their letter, the
auditors believe that the general purpose financial statements present fairly the City's financial position as of June 30, 1997, and the results of its

operations and the cash flows of its proprietary fund types for the year then ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The statistical
section includes selected financial and demographic information, generally presented on a multi-year basis. The single audit section presents required reports
on internal controls and compliance with laws and regulations related to federal awards.
CITY SERVICES AND REPORT SCOPE
The City provides a wide range of municipal services, including police and fire protection, water and sewer utilities, street maintenance, public transportation,
parking, parks and recreation, planning, building and safety, and other general government services. Several municipal services are provided through other
governmental agencies or private utility companies, including the following:
Service
Animal Control
Elementary and Secondary Schools
Cuesta Community College
Solid waste collection and disposal
Gas, Electric, and Telephone
Agency
County of San Luis Obispo
San Luis Coastal Unified School District
San Luis Obispo County Community College District
San Luis Garbage Company
Private Utility Companies
Financial data for all funds and account groups through which services are provided by the City have been included in this report based on the criteria
adopted by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), which is the authoritative body in establishing generally accepted accounting principles
for local governments.
As required by generally accepted accounting principles, these financial statements present the City (the primary government) and its component units
(entities for which the government is considered to be financially accountable). Blended component units (although legally separate entities) are in substance
part of the government's operations, and so data from these units are combined with data of the primary government. The San Luis Obispo Capital
Improvement Board provides financing for the construction, acquisition, and maintenance of City facilities. The Board is comprised solely of members of the
City Council. Activities of the Board are accounted for in the applicable City governmental or enterprise fund.

ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK
Summary of Local Economy
The City is the governmental, cultural, and commercial center of California's central coast. The economic base of the City consists principally of
governmental services, higher education, the tourist industry and public utilities. The City is home to the renowned Mozart Festival, the International Film
Festival, the Mardi Gras parade and activities, and a highly successful downtown Farmers Market which operates all year round.
The County employs approximately 3,400 individuals; and the State employs 2,000 individuals at California Polytechnic State University and 1,700 at the
California Men's Facility. In addition, Pacific Gas and Electric employs approximately 2,000 individuals in various capacities throughout the County.
Additionally, a number of federal and state regional offices are located in the City.
Retail trade provides the largest single category of employment in the County. Retail trade establishments employing the most workers are restaurants, food
stores and miscellaneous retail stores. The government and educational sector is second to retail trade in the number of jobs provided. Service is the third
largest industry group in the County. The largest sector in the service area is health services, followed by hotels and business services.
Recent economic forecasts and an analysis of the regional trends indicate that San Luis Obispo is experiencing positive economic growth, and local
businesses report plans for overall workforce expansion. The general sentiment is that business conditions are the healthiest seen since the onset of the 199194 recession. Continued improvements are being experienced in two key areas of economic condition measurement: retail sales and tourism.
Future Outlook
Through the adoption of the 1997-99 Financial Plan, the City has taken several steps to ensure its long-term fiscal health. The 1997-99 Financial Plan
presents a balanced budget over the next two years for all of the City's funds: based on projected revenues and beginning fund balances, adequate
resources are available to fund the recommended appropriations while assuring that operating revenues fully cover operating expenditures, and that
fund balances are maintained at policy levels.
Balancing the budget for 1997-99 while assuring that adequate resources are allocated to achieve Council goals was less difficult than it has been for
the past four years. This is largely due to an improving local economy and a significant reduction by PERS in our retirement contribution rates.
However, it also reflects the hard work of the department staff and the Budget Review Team in performing extensive and detailed reviews of
operating and capital expenditures. It also required approval by the Council of a limited number of fee increases in selected areas. And it was also
possible because of the past actions the City has taken to improve our long-term fiscal health. In short, while perhaps less difficult than in the past,
producing a balanced budget for 1997-99 was not easy: it built on the tough policy decisions made in the past; and the careful policy decisions made
by the Council as it was being developed.
The 1997-99 Financial Plan is founded on the basic budget preparation framework set by the Council as part of the goal-setting process:
6
Transmittal Memorandum
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report: Fiscal Year 1996-97
þ
Limiting operating cost increases and reviewing service levels for expenditure reduction opportunities.
þ
Developing a capital improvement plan (CIP) that adequately maintains our existing infrastructure and facilities.
þ
Considering new revenue opportunities as allowed under Proposition 218.
þ
If needed, making strategic use of fund balance and temporarily taking it below policy levels, subject to preparing a definite plan for restoring
this balance in the future.
The Financial Plan reflects all of these principles with the exception of taking fund balances below policy levels. Specific approaches taken by the
staff in holding the line on operating costs include:
þ
From-the-ground-up budgeting. Departments were instructed to take a detailed look at their operating budgets from the “ground-up” to ensure
that all requested line items budget amounts were justified and necessary. Resulting department budget submittals were then evaluated in-depth
by Budget Review Team members.
þ
Fresh look at programs. Departments took a fresh look at their programs to identify opportunities to deliver services differently at a lower cost
while maintaining service standards.
þ
Holding-the-line on staffing. As a service organization, our largest cost area is for regular staffing. As part of the budget instructions to staff
for 1997-99, a fundamental principle was “no new staff” (regular full-time positions). Had it not been for this instruction, in considering
perceived needs by several departments, several new positions would have been requested, building in this higher costs of operation into future
years.
While the General Fund budget for 1997-99 is balanced, and funds Council goals and objectives, we will continue to be faced with ongoing
challenges in maintaining service levels and achieving capital improvement goals. Addressing these needs in the future will require continued efforts
to maintain and strengthen our fiscal position. In addition to a number of programs set forth in our land use, circulation, open space and parks &
recreation elements of the General Plan, projects and issues not fully addressed in this two-year timeframe include:
O Downtown improvements. There are a number of improvements in the Conceptual Physical Plan for the City’s Center that would be desirable
to achieve. In this context, a major work effort for the coming year will be to prepare a master schedule of coordinated infrastructure
improvements for the downtown.
O Laguna lake master plan. We will be finalizing Army Corps of Engineer permit requirements and design during the next two years. Once this
is complete, we will incur significant costs in implementing planned lake and park improvements.
7
Transmittal Memorandum
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report: Fiscal Year 1996-97
O Open space funding. With the narrow defeat of Measure O, and the approval of Proposition 218, the City currently has no identified source of
funding for desired open space protection projects, except as funds can be made available through the General Fund, or supplemented by
available but limited grant funds.
O Pavement management. For the first time since 1989-91, the budget provides funding for pavement sealing and overlay at levels recommended
in the 1988 pavement management plan. However, this plan will be updated within the coming year, and it is possible that additional resource
commitments may be required to support one of our largest infrastructure investments. There is a general perception that the City has not been
doing enough to keep up with the necessity of properly maintaining our street system.
O Transit system operations. Although we believe we can fund our current service levels through 1997-98, maintaining transit system service
levels beyond then in light of federal cutbacks will be very difficult.
O Flood protection. While limited resources are provided in the 1997-99 Financial Plan for flood protection improvements, we will be completing
a comprehensive update to our flood management policy. It is likely that implementing this master plan will require significant new resources.
O Capital improvement plan (CIP). The challenges that will be facing us in the next two-year Financial Plan are pointed out by the CIP proposed
for third and fourth years of this plan. For example, the average General Fund commitment to the CIP is $2.4 million for 1997-99; for 1999-01,
this increases to $3.7 million, an annual increase of $1.3 million.
O Diablo canyon. A recent change in the method used by the State to allocate sales tax dollars from individual purchases for refueling at Diablo
Canyon will result in the loss of approximately $200,000 annually in sales tax revenues. Electrical restructuring, and its possible effect on
PG&E, could also have significant impacts on the local economy and on the City’s revenue picture.
O Adobe preservation. The City has taken-on ownership of three historical adobes over the past few years (Canet, Bowden/La Loma, and
Rodriguez), and with this comes responsibility for preserving and maintaining them. While this process may be helped by the formation of a nonprofit group with this interest, there is already pressure on the City to do more in preserving and improving these historic buildings.
The long-term fiscal health goal included in the 1997-99 Financial Plan as a result of Council goal-setting sets forth four action plans to help us meet
these challenges:
þ
Improving organizational productivity.
þ
Preparing a long-term funding strategy that can achieve broad-based community support.
þ
Evaluating the costs and benefits of annexing Cal Poly.

Continuing to closely review and monitor our fiscal condition.
Departmental Service Efforts and Accomplishments
Each year we take this opportunity to highlight the efforts and accomplishments of a selected program, division, or department. This year our focus is on the
Revenue Management Division in the Department of Finance.
The Revenue Management division has designed and implemented an on-going business tax verification program. The purpose of the business tax
verification program is to ensure that business taxes are paid fairly and equitably, not only for the City, but for the taxpayer as well. Most businesses pay
their “fair share” as set forth in the City’s business tax ordinance, but an ongoing verification program provides assurance to those who correctly pay their
taxes that the City is taking reasonable steps to ensure that others are doing the same.
Working closely with the business community, the intent of the program is to independently verify gross receipts for all businesses over a five-year period.
Approximately 1,300 (20%) of the 6,000 businesses renewing their business tax certificates in 1996-97 were chosen to participate in the first year of this five
year verification program process. These 1,300 businesses received a letter explaining the verification program and the documentation required to be
submitted with their renewal form. The 4,700 businesses not chosen to participate in the program this past year also received a letter explaining the program
and that their business would be participating in a subsequent renewal year.
In conjunction with the City’s financial software vendor, the program was automated to increase efficiency of administering and monitoring the program.
Businesses are selected for the verification program by classification code, location or individually through the software program. Once the business account
is selected, the software prints a special renewal form indicating the business has been selected to participate in the verification program and what is required
for a successful renewal. Throughout the renewal process, the software tracks the type of verification document provided by the business (IRS form, CPA
letter, or similar “third party” verification) and sends out follow-up letters if the renewal form is received without the verification documentation. Most
importantly, the software will not allow a business tax certificate to be issued until the verification is complete by indicating that all documentation has been
received.
Of the 1,300 businesses chosen to participate in the program, only 118 sent in their renewal without the requested verification documents, and only 21 have
not responded with any form of renewal. While it is difficult to evaluate the fiscal impact of this program in light of other enforcement activities and an
improving economy, business tax revenues in general increased by 10% between 1995-96 and 1996-97, compared with sales tax increases of 7% during this
same period. We believe that this verification program is partially responsible for this increase. More importantly, we believe that the credibility and
accountability of our business tax program have been enhanced by creating an ongoing verification program.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City's accounting system is organized and operated on a fund basis. Each fund and account group is a distinct self-balancing accounting entity. Various
funds and account groups utilized by the City are fully described in Note 1 of Notes to the General Purpose Financial Statements. The City's accounting
records for governmental, and agency fund types are maintained on a modified accrual basis whereby revenues are recognized when measurable and
available and expenditures are recognized when materials and services are received. Accounting records for the proprietary fund types are recorded on an
accrual basis.
City management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the City are protected from
loss, theft or misuse and to ensure that adequate accounting data is compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. The internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these objectives are met.
The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that: (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of costs
and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. The following is a summary of key financial policies:
n Budgetary Policy and Control. Budgets are legally adopted annually by the Council by resolution, and are prepared for each fund in accordance with
its basis of accounting. As provided under City Charter, the City Administrative Officer (CAO) is responsible for preparing the budget and for its
implementation after adoption. Since the City utilizes a two-year financial plan, operating appropriations not expended during the first year may be
carried forward into the second year for specific purposes with the approval of the CAO. At the end of the final year of the two-year plan, operating
appropriations lapse unless they are encumbered by contract or purchase order. Project-length budgets are adopted for capital projects. The Council has
the legal authority to amend the budget at any time during the fiscal year. The CAO has the authority to make administrative adjustments to the budget
as long as those changes will not have a significant policy impact nor affect budgeted year-end balances. The City's budgetary policies are more fully
described in Note 1 of the Notes to the General Purpose Financial Statements.
Expenditure and budgeting detail is maintained by the City for each fund and department by program area at the line item level. Budgetary control is
exercised through an on-line computerized system which is interfaced with the City's general ledger. The system maintains an on-going record of budget
balances throughout the year based on actual expenditures and unfilled purchase orders. Open encumbrances at year-end are reported as reservations of
fund balance.
n Fund Balance. It is the City's policy to maintain an unreserved fund balance in the General Fund of at least 20% of operating expenditures. This policy
objective has been achieved for 1996-97. The City maintains a similar policy for working capital balances in the enterprise funds.
n Expenditure Limitation. Article XIII B of the Constitution of the State of California (Proposition 9) provides for the limitation of expenditures by state
and local governments that are funded by general purpose tax revenues. Under these provisions, City appropriations funded through tax sources may not
exceed Fiscal Year 1979 appropriation levels except as adjusted for increases in population and the cost of living. Excluded from this limitation are
appropriations funded through charges for services, fines and forfeitures, grants, transfers of service responsibilities between governmental agencies, debt
used to purchase qualified capital outlay, and qualified indebtedness incurred prior to Fiscal Year 1979. Pursuant to subsequent State legislation adopted
10
Transmittal Memorandum
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report: Fiscal Year 1996-97
after the passage of Proposition 9, the City is required to annually establish and adopt its appropriations limit by resolution. For 1996-97, the City's
appropriations limit was $25,962,100 compared with actual appropriations subject to limitation of $13,764,200, for a favorable variance of
$12,197,900.
n Cash Management. The City's investment management plan addresses a wide variety of investment practices, including: primary investment objectives,
investment authority, allowable investment vehicles, investment maturity terms, eligible financial institutions, capital preservation, and cash flow
management. Under the City's policies, investments in the City's portfolio are intended to be held until maturity; and accordingly, investment terms are
selected for consistency with the City's cash flow needs. Reports are issued monthly to the Council, the CAO, and Department Heads by the Department
of Finance providing detailed information regarding the City's investments and compliance with City policy. Additionally, an investment oversight
committee comprised of the CAO, Assistant CAO, Director of Finance/City Treasurer, Revenue Manager, and the City's independent auditor meet
quarterly to review the City's investment activities and compliance with the Investment Management Plan.
Under the City's investment policies, the City's primary investment objective is to achieve a reasonable rate of return on public funds while minimizing
risks and preserving capital. In evaluating the performance of the City's portfolio in achieving this objective, it is expected that yields on City investments
will regularly meet or exceed the average return on three month U.S. Treasury Bills. This objective was achieved for the 1996-97 fiscal year: during this
period the City experienced an average weighted annual yield of 5.68% compared with an average return on three month U.S. Treasury Bills of 5.34%.
n Debt Administration. At June 30, 1997, the City had outstanding general obligation bonds payable of $430,000, revenue bonds of $28.1 million,
certificates of participation of $7.3 million, and a loan from the State of California of $26.4 million. These liabilities are more fully discussed in Note 7
of the Notes to the General Purpose Financial Statements.
The City's debt management policies are comprehensively stated in the Policies and Objectives section of the 1997-99 Financial Plan. Key components
of this policy include the City's commitment to monitor all forms of debt annually coincident with the City's Financial Plan preparation and review
process. Also, the City will generally conduct financing on a competitive basis and will seek an investment grade rating (Baa or greater) on any direct
debt, and will seek credit enhancements such as letters of credit or insurance when necessary for marketing purposes, availability, and cost-effectiveness.
The City will not obligate the General Fund to secure long-term financing, except when marketability can be significantly enhanced. Projects may be
considered for long-term financing when it is immediately required to meet or relieve capacity needs and current sources are unavailable; is mandated by
state or federal requirements and current revenues and fund balances are insufficient; and the life of the project is ten years or longer. An internal
feasibility analysis is prepared for each long-term financing which analyzes the impact on current and future budgets for debt service, operations, and the
reliability of revenues to support debt service.
n Risk Management. The Council adopted a comprehensive risk management program in March of 1992. The program is staffed by a Risk Manager and
includes systems for risk identification, evaluation, treatment, implementation of treatment and monitoring results in the areas of tort liability, workers'
compensation, property, contracts and safety. Some of the activities included in the program are maintaining a city-wide Safety Committee and a
Wellness Program; coordinating claims processing with workers' compensation and liability third-party administrators; reviewing contracts for proper
insurance; and evaluating the risks of proposed special events. The City also participates in the Central Coast Cities Self-Insurance Fund which operates
11
Transmittal Memorandum
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report: Fiscal Year 1996-97
in accordance with a joint powers authority agreement between its member cities to provide various workers' compensation and general liability
programs.
n Interim Financial Reporting. A comprehensive mid-year budget review is prepared each year, and formal financial reports are prepared quarterly using
a "pyramid" approach in presenting varying levels of detail to the Council, CAO and Department Heads. Detailed reports are issued to departmental staff
on a monthly basis which provide information regarding revenues and expenditures for all program areas by line item, including year-to-date estimates,
year-to-date and monthly actual, encumbrances and budget variances. Additionally, on-line status reporting is available to staff throughout the
organization.
n Goals and Objectives Reporting. The Financial Plan identifies major goals to be accomplished over its two year timeframe. Formal reports are
provided to the Council on an ongoing basis which report our progress in accomplishing these goals as well as the status of capital improvement plan
projects and other key objectives.
n Competitive Bidding Policies. City purchases for materials, equipment, services, and construction projects during the fiscal year were made pursuant
to competitive bidding procedures as outlined in the purchasing section of the City's Financial Management Manual. Under these provisions, open market
bidding procedures are required for purchases in excess of $5,000; and formal bidding procedures are required for purchases in excess of $15,000.
n Personnel Policies. The City maintains written policies and procedures addressing a wide variety of personnel and payroll practices, including
recruitment, promotions, compensation, classification, disciplinary actions, and other conditions of employment. With the exception of the City
Attorney, the CAO has the sole authority for the appointment or removal of all City officers and employees. General Unit and Sworn (Police and Fire)
employees are represented in labor relations matters by separate bargaining units; department heads and other management employees are unrepresented.
n Single Audit for Federal Grant Programs. The City is subject to the financial and compliance reporting requirements of the Single Audit Act of 1984,
which are applicable to all local and state governments receiving federal awards. As part of the City's single audit, tests are made to determine the
adequacy of the internal control system, including that portion related to federal award programs, as well as to determine that the City has complied with
applicable laws and regulations. The results of the City's single audit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 provided no instances of material
weaknesses in the internal control system or significant violations of laws and regulations applicable to each of its major federal programs. Additional
information about the City's federal awards for the year ended June 30, 1997 is provided in the Single Audit section of this report.

As reflected above, revenues for governmental fund operations totaled $28.6 million in 1996-97, an increase of 5% from the prior fiscal year. The following
is a summary of significant revenue highlights:
Tax Revenues
þ
Sales tax revenue, the City's largest single governmental fund revenue source, was $7.0 million, which includes $127,600 in Proposition 172 public
safety revenues. While general sales tax revenues increased overall by $279,500 (4%), point-of-sale revenues increased by about 7% from 1995-96; the
remaining variance was due to decreases in the City's share of "pool" allocations resulting from a change in the method of allocating sales tax generated
by refueling activities at Diablo Canyon power plant.
þ
General property tax revenues remained fairly constant, increasing by only 1% ($51,600) when compared to total prior year revenues. This was less
than projected due to downward property value re-assessments during the year and County adjustments for prior year taxes.
þ
An increase of $203,500 in transient occupancy tax (TOT) revenues over the prior year reflects an 8% increase in the taxable base. The 1996-97
increase in TOT revenues indicates a continuing sign of economic recovery in the tourism industry.
O Consistent with budget projections, utility user taxes increased by 4% ($102,800).
13
Transmittal Memorandum
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report: Fiscal Year 1996-97
O Business tax revenues increased by 10% ($81,400). As noted above, we believe this increase is due to a combination of an improving local economy and
our new verification program.
Fines, Forfeitures and Penalties
The $28,300 increase in this revenue source over the prior year is from vehicle code fines collected by the state and passed through to the city.
Use of Money and Property
Interest revenues were greater than prior years due to higher cash balances available for investment.
Subventions and Grants
The decrease in grant revenue results from several capital improvement plan projects approved for funding through the Community Development Block
Grant program that were not started during the fiscal year. Reimbursement grant revenues will not be available until expenditures are incurred in subsequent
years.
Charges for Services
A 33% increase in service charge revenues is a combination of increases in several revenue sources:
O Fire department revenues increased $240,700 over the prior year which includes a full year of medical emergency recovery fees ($81,500) and $139,000
in mutual aid reimbursements.
O An increase in development activity resulted in development review fees rising $302,100 over the prior year for services such as planning & zoning
($19,900), infrastructure plan check & inspections ($61,400); construction plan check & inspections ($137,600); fire plan check & inspections
($31,900); and encroachment permits ($51,300).
Other Revenues
One-time revenues from the sale of surplus property ($736,300), PERS surplus refunds ($705,600) and insurance refunds and workers compensation
insurance reimbursements ($97,100) account for the increase in other revenues.

As reflected above, total expenditures for the governmental funds were $29.2 million, a decrease of 6% from the prior fiscal year. This was primarily due to
reduced capital spending. Operating expenditures reflect a 7% net increase. The following highlights significant variances from the prior year:
O Transportation. The 35% variance in transportation expenditures is primarily due to a deferral of the 1995-96 street maintenance program until 1996-
97 when two years worth of street maintenance was accomplished. Contract costs for street sealing were $424,000 in 1996-97; there were no similar
costs in 1995-96. The remainder of the variance is a result of increased staffing costs in the transportation planning and pavement maintenance
programs.
O Community Development. The increase in community development activities results from a complete year of operations in the economic development
and natural resources protection programs, which only operated for a partial year in 1995-96.
O General Government. The increase in general government expenditures is primarily a result of an organization-wide conversion to Windows 95 and
improvements to GIS and information systems programs.
O Capital Outlay. The decrease in capital outlay expenditures is due to an unusually large capital improvement program in 1995-96, which included major
projects such as the headquarters fire station, the parks and recreation administration building, and the Marsh Street renovation.
O Debt Service. The planned increase in debt service expenditures of $520,000 reflects the first year of principal and interest payments on the 1996 Lease
Revenue Bonds.

As reflected above, the available year-end fund balance was 28% of operating expenditures, which meets the City's policy of maintaining unreserved fund
balances that are at least 20% of operating expenditures. After adjusting for year-end encumbrances, overall expenditures were less than 1% lower than the
budgeted amount, and revenues were 4% greater than projected.

(1) Exclusive of Proposition 172 sales tax revenues restricted for public safety ($127,600).
(2) Includes building permits, planning fees, engineering fees, and fire plan check fees.
As depicted above, most revenue sources were right on target with their projections. The following highlights key variances from budget estimates:
n Sales tax. The variance in sales tax revenues is solely due to the timing of “pool” revenues, which are highly volatile as a result of Diablo Canyon
refueling activities. Adjusting for pool revenues, point-of-sales revenues were 7% higher than 1995-96, which is right on target with budget projections
for 1996-97.
n Property tax. These revenues were less than projected due to downward property value re-assessments during the year.
n Development review fees. An increase of 21% over projected revenues reflects a higher level of private sector construction activity than anticipated.
n Interest revenue. Between 65% to 70% of the City's portfolio was invested in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) during 1996-97 as well as
during 1995-96. While LAIF rates have also held steady at about 5.8% over the two years, investment earnings are higher than anticipated due to greater
cash balances available for investment during the year .

As reflected above, departmental operating expenditures were less than 1% lower than budget after adjusting for estimated expenditure savings and
encumbrances. The following highlights the two functional areas where expenditures exceeded projections:
O Transportation. The anticipated purchase of the City’s street lighting system and related savings did not occur until after the end of the fiscal year,
resulting in $77,700 more in street lighting costs than projected.
O Leisure, Cultural and Social Services. Due to a dryer-than-projected winter, irrigation costs for the City’s parks and landscaping cost $49,000 more
than projected. These overages were offset by savings in other programs to result in a 1% unfavorable budget variance.
General Fund Other Sources and Uses. Lower operating transfers than projected to the Capital Outlay Fund accounted for all of the favorable variance of
$199,300. This was due to two factors: revenues from the sale of the old headquarters fire station were greater than budgeted by $118,300 ($718,300
compared with the budget estimate of $600,000); and capital outlay fund service charges and contributions were $98,700 greater than projected. These
favorable variances were partially offset by lower than projected operating transfers in from the gas tax and TDA funds.

Enterprise Operations
The City's enterprise operations are comprised of the following five funds: water, sewer, parking, transit, and golf. The following summarizes the financial
operations and changes in financial position for each of the City's enterprise funds:
Water Fund. The water fund accounts for providing water service to customers inside the City as well as some customers in the County. During 1996-97,
2,224 million gallons (6,427 acre feet) were delivered to approximately 13,300 customers. This compares with a current safe annual yield of 7,735 acre feet.

Ending available working capital balance is about $1 million higher than projected level and compares favorably with the 20% working capital policy
($840,900). The increase results primarily from a favorable variance in water service charges. After an unusually wet winter in the prior year that resulted in
lower levels of consumption, customer water usage is currently increasing. Increased development activity resulted in impact fees that were 72% higher than
anticipated. Operating expenditure savings are primarily due to energy savings realized in operating the water treatment plant. Other revenues include a onetime PERS surplus reimbursement of $49,300.

Sewer Fund. The sewer fund accounts for providing wastewater collection, treatment, and reclamation services to customers inside the City as well as some
County customers. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, average daily plant flows were 4.1 million gallons per day (MGD) servicing approximately

As reflected above, ending available working capital balances were $198,200 higher than projected levels. While service charges were slightly less than
anticipated, increased development activity resulted in impact fees 50% higher than anticipated. Expenditure savings of 16% result from lower energy bills
and other operating costs at the water reclamation facility.

For the purpose of this working capital summary, all grants are reflected as revenues. In the financial statements capital grants are recorded as contributed
capital. The City anticipates utilizing available Transportation Development Act (TDA) and Federal Section 9 grant funds to finance capital projects. Interest
revenues were significantly less than projected due to lower cash balances available to invest. Contract costs to operate the transit system were 2% more than
projected. The City continues to monitor volatile federal and state revenue sources and adjusts operating and capital costs accordingly.

AWARDS
Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA)
The GFOA awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of San Luis Obispo for its Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996. The Certificate of Achievement is a prestigious national award recognizing conformance
with the highest standards for preparation of state and local government financial reports.
In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government unit must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual
financial report whose contents conform to program standards. The CAFR must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal
requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. The City of San Luis Obispo has received a Certificate of Achievement for the last eight
consecutive years. We believe our current CAFR continues to conform to the Certificate of Achievement program requirements, and we are submitting it to
GFOA for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997.
California Society of Municipal Finance Officers (CSMFO)
The CSMFO has also awarded a Certificate of Award of Outstanding Financial Reporting to the City for our CAFR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996
and the three previous consecutive years We also believe the current CAFR continues to conform to the CSMFO Award Program requirements.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The preparation and development of this report would not have been possible without the year-round efficiency of the Department of Finance staff and their
special efforts, working in conjunction with the City's independent auditors, to produce this document. We would like to take this opportunity to compliment
all those staff members of both the City and our independent auditors who were associated with the preparation of this report. We would also like to thank the
Council for their continued interest and support in planning and conducting the financial operations of the City in a responsible and progressive manner.

governmental purpose.

enterprise funds to the General Fund based on a cost allocation plan prepared for this purpose which distributes shared costs in a uniform, consistent manner in accordance with generally

OVERVIEW
The City has established a debt service fund to account for the payment and accumulation of resources related to general long-term debt principal and interest
for the following debt issues:
Capital Improvement Board 1994 Refunding Lease Revenue Bonds
These bonds were issued to refund the 1986 Lease Revenue Bonds and to continue to finance parking structures and various road improvement and property
acquisition projects. The Board has entered into a lease agreement with the City under which the City is responsible for making lease payment to the Board's
Trustee in order to fund the annual debt service requirements. Debt service related to the parking structures is recorded directly in the Parking Fund while debt
service related to the road improvement and property acquisition projects is recorded in the debt service fund. The City Council serves as the governing body of
the Board.
Capital Improvement Board Certificates of Participation of 1990
The certificates of participation were issued during Fiscal Year 1991 by the San Luis Obispo Capital Improvement Board to finance improvements to the
recreation center for the City, acquire land to be used as a park and site for Parks and Recreation administration offices, and to implement impending open
space acquisitions. The Board has entered into a lease agreement with the City under which the City is responsible for making lease payment to the Board's
Trustees to fund the annual debt service requirements. The bonds were issued from the capital projects funds and the debt service is recorded in the debt
service fund.
Capital Improvement Board 1996 Lease Revenue Bonds
These bonds were issued to accomplish several high priority capital improvement projects:
n

fund the annual debt service requirements. The City Council serves as the governing body of the Board.

OVERVIEW
Enterprise funds are distinguished by their similarity to private sector activities as the intent is to finance or recover the cost of providing services primarily
through user charges. As such, the measurement focus is on net income in addition to financial position, and changes in cash flows. An accrual basis of
accounting, with depreciation recorded as an expense, is utilized. Enterprise Funds may also be established in order to account for operations under which the
City or an outside grantor agency has decided that a periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital
maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability, or other purposes. The City of San Luis uses the following five enterprise funds:
Water Fund
This fund was established by the City in order to account for the provision of water services to the residents of the City as well as some customers in the
County. All activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in this fund, including, but not limited to, administration, operations, maintenance,
improvements, and debt service.
Sewer Fund
This fund was established by the City in order to account for the provision of waste water collection and treatment services to the residents of the City as well as
some customers in the County. All activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in this fund, including, but not limited to, administration,
operations, maintenance, improvements, and debt service.
Parking Fund
This fund was established to account for the operation of municipal parking lots, parking structures, and street parking meters. All activities necessary to
provide such services are accounted for in this fund, including, but not limited to, administration, operations, maintenance, improvements, and debt service.
Transit Fund
This fund was established to account for the operation and maintenance of the City's transit system. Although user fees are not the primary funding source for
the operation of the system, the State of California and the Federal government, which provide the major funding sources for the system, require that local
transit systems be accounted for on an enterprise fund basis.
Golf Fund
This fund was established to account for the operation and maintenance of the municipal golf course.
95
OVERVIEW
All of the city's fixed assets of a tangible nature, except those relating to the proprietary fund types, are accounted for in the General Fixed Asset Account
Group. As these assets are not financial resources available for expenditure or appropriation, they are not accounted for with Governmental Funds, but as an
account group, and exist solely as accounting records of the City's fixed assets. The City's general fixed assets have been accounted for at cost, and do not
include public domain or infrastructure fixed assets such as roads, streets, bridges, storm drains, or sidewalks, as these assets are immovable and only of value
to the City of San Luis Obispo.
The following schedules have been included in the City's comprehensive annual financial report regarding general fixed assets:
n
Schedule of changes in general fixed assets and investment in general fixed assets
n
Schedule of general fixed assets by program and activity
n
Schedule of changes in general fixed assets by program and activity

OVERVIEW

individuals, organizations, or other governmental agencies:

the City, the California Polytechnic University, and the California Men's Colony.
Leff, Bond, and Ramona Sewer Fund. This fund was established to account for special assessments collected on the property tax roll by the City on behalf of
the property owners within the Ramona Drive Assessment District. The assets and liabilities of this fund were liquidated during the fiscal year ended June 30,
1997.
McMillian Sewer Fund. This fund was established to account for special assessments collected on the property tax roll by the City on behalf of the property
owners within the McMillian Sewer Assessment District. The assets and liabilities of this fund were liquidated during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997
CCCSIF Workers' Compensation Insurance Fund. This fund was established to account for the financial activities of a workers' compensation self-insurance
joint power authority involving several local government entities.
CCCSIF Liability Insurance Fund. This fund was established to account for the financial activities of a liability self-insurance joint power authority
involving several local government entities.
Jack House Fund. This fund was established to account for the financial activities of the Jack House Committee, which includes the rehabilitation and use of a
historic house.
Joint Recreational Use Fund. This fund was established to account for the financial activities of the committee on Joint Recreational Use, which includes the
development and use of recreational facilities built on school district property.

OVERVIEW
The City has established the following four special revenue funds in order to account for the proceeds from revenue sources that are restricted to expenditures
for specified purposes:
Business Improvement Area (BIA) Fund
This fund has been established to account for the receipt of a surcharge derived from a supplemental assessment upon businesses within the downtown area.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Municipal code, this surcharge is equal to 100% of the City's general business tax. Expenditures from the fund are limited to
four basic purposes: decorating public places within the BIA; promoting public events in the downtown core; promoting trade activities; and improving parking
in the downtown core.
Gas Tax Fund
Portions of the tax rate per gallon levied by the State of California on all gasoline purchases are allocated to cities throughout the State on a population basis.
These funds are restricted for expenditures by the State of California for street-related purposes only. Under the City's Financial Plan policies, all gas tax
revenues are transferred to the General Fund for street maintenance purposes.
Transportation Development Act (TDA) Fund
The State of California has designated 1/4% of the sales tax levied statewide for local transportation purposes. Funding for this program was provided during
the 1971 legislative session with the enactment of the Transportation Development Act, which extended the state sales tax to include purchases of gasoline.
Revenues allocated to the City of San Luis Obispo under this program are divided into two categories: Article 3 funds, which are restricted for the improvement
and maintenance of street systems including pedestrian and bicycle facilities; and Article 4 funds, which are restricted for public transit systems and are
recorded directly in the Transit Fund. The purpose of the City's TDA Fund is to account for Article 3 funds. Under the City's Financial Plan policies, all TDA
revenues are allocated for alternative transportation purposes. Accordingly, allocations to this fund are used for bicycle planning purposes. The balance of the
City's TDA funds are allocated to the transit system, which is accounted for as an enterprise fund.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Fund
This fund has been established to account for federal funds received by the City specifically to benefit low and moderate income persons, aid in the elimination
of blight, and meet other community development needs as allowed by block grant regulations.

NOTES:
Includes all Governmental Fund Types
1). Property tax revenues are presented net of SB2557 County administrative fees (approximately 3% of total property tax revenues).
2). Effective with 1993-94 the City has elected to receive its property tax revenues based on the Teeter Plan method of collection whereby the
County remits 100% of taxes levied, pursues collection and retains any delinquent taxes and related taxes and penalties. Of the $4,163,100 received
in 1993-94, $515,600 was due to a one-time distribution of the City's prior year delinquencies, resulting in comparable property tax revenues from
the prior year of $3,647,500. This significant reduction is solely due to state takeaways, as the assessed value for the City grew by 2.6%.
3). During 1994-95, the state again reduced City property tax revenue distributions. This significant revenue reduction is due solely to this additional
state takeaway, as assessed value increased by 2.4%

NOTES: 1. Valuations are established by the County Assessor of the County of San Luis Obispo, except for property owned by private utility companies,
which is valued by the State of California.
2. For comparison purposes, gross assessed valuations include homeowners' exemptions. Although these exemptions reduce property tax
collections, the revenue loss is reimbursed by the State of California. As such, gross assessed valuation is the revenue base used in establishing
property tax-related revenues.
3. The decrease in the value of utility taxable property effective FY 1988-89 is due to the passage of AB454 which changed the way the State Board
of Equalization allocated the values on the utility roll with respect to the different tax rate areas.
4. The decrease in the value of utility taxable property in 1996-97 is due solely to the reduction in value of Southern Pacific
Transportation Company parcels.

NOTE: The secured property tax roll is composed of ad valorem taxes as well as special assessments, and is calculated by the San Luis
Obispo County Auditor-Controller. The San Luis Obispo County Tax Collector is responsible for all property tax roll collections within the
City of San Luis Obispo. The amount reported is before the SB2557 County administrative fees of approximately 3% of total property tax
revenues.
* In 1993-94 the City elected the Teeter Plan method of property tax collection, whereby the County remits 100% of taxes levied and
pursues collection and retains any delinquent taxes and related penalties and interest.
