We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA suite isoo

expenses and changes in retained earnings and cash flows for the year then ended. These Sn=r / n a;ol
financial statements are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. (,, 94111
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America and the State Controller's Minimum Audit Requirements for !5.781.079?
California Special Districts. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material /av 415.421.2976
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.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material l
respects, the financial position of Central Contra Costa Sanitary District at June 30, 2002,
and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as well as
accounting systems prescribed by the State Controller's Office for California Special
Districts.
Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements of
the District taken as a whole. The accompanying supplementary information on pages 20 -
24 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied

material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 1 - Description and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
a. Re on rting Entity
The Central Contra Costa Sanitary District, a special district and a public entity
established under the Sanitary District Act of 1923, provides sewer service for the
incorporated and unincorporated areas under its jurisdiction. The District is governed by
a Board of Directors comprised of five elected members. The District's financial
statements reflect only its own activities; it has no component units (other government
units overseen by the District).
b. Basis of Accounting
The District's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles as promulgated by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB). In addition, the District applies all applicable
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued on or before
November 30, 1989, unless those pronouncements conflict with or contradict GASB
pronouncements.
The District is a proprietary entity; it uses an enterprise fund format to report its activities
for financial statement purposes. Enterprise funds are used to account for operations that
are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises, where the
intent of the governing body,is that the costs and expenses, including depreciation, of
providing goods or services to its customers be financed or recovered primarily through
user charges; or where the governing body has decided that periodic determination of
revenues earned, expenses incurred, and net income is appropriate for capital
maintenance,public policy, management control,accountability, or other purposes.
Enterprise funds are used to account for activities similar to those in the private sector,
where the proper matching of revenues and costs is important and the full accrual basis of
accounting is required. With this measurement focus, all assets and all liabilities of the
enterprise are recorded on its balance sheet, all revenues are recognized when earned and
all expenses, including depreciation, are recognized when incurred. Enterprise fund
equity includes retained earnings and contributed capital.
For internal operating purposes, the District's Board of Directors has established three
separate sub-funds, each of which includes a separate self-balancing set of accounts and a
separate Board approved budget for revenues and expenses. These sub-funds are
combined into the single enterprise fund presented in the accompanying financial
statements. The nature and purpose of these sub-funds are as follows:
Running Expense accounts for the general operations of the District. Substantially all
operating revenues and expenses are accounted for in this sub-fund.
5
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
Notes to the Financial Statements
Sewer Construction accounts for non-operating revenues which are to be used for
acquisition or construction of plant, property and equipment.
Self Insurance accounts for interest earnings on cash balances in this sub-fund and cash
allocations from other sub-funds, as well as for costs of insurance premiums and of claims
not covered by the District's insurance coverage.
That portion of the District's retained earnings which is allocable to each of these sub-
funds has been shown separately in the accompanying financial statements.
The District's Board of Directors adopts annual budgets on a basis consistent with
generally accepted accounting principles.
c. Parts and Supplies
Parts and supplies are valued at average cost and are used primarily for internal purposes.
d. Property.Plant and Equiprnent
Purchased fixed assets are stated at historical cost. Fixed assets contributed to the
District are stated at estimated fair value at the time of contribution. Expenditures which
materially increase the value or life of a fixed asset are capitalized and depreciated over
the remaining useful life of the asset.
Depreciation of exhaustible fixed assets has been provided using the straight line method
as follows:
Years
Sewage Collection Facilities 75
Sewage Treatment Plant and Pumping Plants 40
Buildings 50
Furniture and Equipment 7 - 15
Motor Vehicles 6- 15
e. Defined Contribution Retirement Plans
District employees may defer a portion of their compensation under a District sponsored
Deferred Compensation Plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section
457. Under this Plan, participants are not taxed on the deferred portion of their
compensation until it is distributed to them, distributions may be made only at
termination, retirement, death or in an emergency as defined by the Plan. The District
does not make contributions to the Plan.
6
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
Notes to the Financial Statements
On August 20, 1997, the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code covering section 457
were amended to require existing plans to establish trusts for assets of plans so that they
would not be subject to the rights of general creditors. The District amended its plan
during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 to meet this requirement. Consequently, at
June 30, 2002,the plan assets are held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the participants
and are not included in the District's financial statements.
The District also contributes to a money purchase plan created in accordance with
Internal Revenue Code section 401(a). Contributions to the plan are made in accordance
with a memorandum of understanding stating that in lieu of making payments to Social
Security, the District contributes to the 401(a)Plan an amount equal to that which would
have been contributed to Social Security on behalf of its employees as long as the District
is not required to participate in Social Security. The assets are held in trust and are not
recorded on the books of the District. The District contributed $1,283,462 to the plan
during the year ended June 30, 2002.
f. E[gRerty Taxes
Property tax revenue is recognized in the fiscal year for which the tax is levied. The
County of Contra Costa levies, bills and collects property taxes for the District; all
material amounts are collected by June 30.
General County taxes collected are the same as the amount levied since the County
participates in California's alternative method of apportionment called the Teeter Plan.
The Teeter Plan as provided,in Section 4701 at seq. of the State Revenue and Taxation
Code establishes a mechanism for the County to advance the full amount of property tax
and other levies to taxing agencies based on the tax levy, rather than on the basis of actual
tax collections. Although this system is a simpler method to administer, the County
assumes the risk of delinquencies. The County in return retains the penalties and accrued
interest thereon.
Secured property tax is due in two installments, on November I and February 1,
becoming a lien on those dates, and becoming delinquent on December 10 and April 10,
respectively. Delinquent accounts are assessed a penalty of 10 percent. Accounts which
remain unpaid on June 30 are charged an additional 1 1/2 percent per month. Unsecured
property tax is due on July 1 and becomes delinquent on August 31. The penalty
percentage rates are the same as secured property tax.
7
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
Notes to the Financial Statements
g. Compensated Absences
The liability for vested vacation and sick pay is recorded as an expense when earned.
District employees have a vested interest in 104 percent of accrued vacation time and 85
percent of accrued sick time for employees hired before May 1, 1985. Employees hired
after May 1, 1985 have a vested interest in up to 40 percent of their sick time, based upon
length of employment with the District.
h. New Governmental Accounting-Standards
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 34, Basic Financial
Statements - and Management's Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local
Governments in June 1999. Statement 34 establishes new financial reporting
requirements for state and local governments. The District has not adopted the new
standard for the current year but must adopt the standard for the fiscal year beginning
July 1, 2002. The effect of the new standard on the financial statements has not been
determined.
Note 2- Cash and Investments:
The District's cash is maintained on a pooled basis with that of Contra Costa County, which
treats the District's total cash as a single account balance. All District receipts are deposited
with the County and all District disbursements are made by the County. The County
Treasurer's Office executes investment transactions on behalf of the District in accordance
with the District's investment policy and the constraints prescribed by the Government Code
of the State of California for authorized investments.
The District invests in individual investments and in investment pools. Individual
investments are evidenced by specific identifiable pieces of paper called securities
instruments, or by an electronic entry registering the owner in the records of the institution
issuing the security, called the book entry system. In order to maximize security, individual
investment securities, such as treasury notes, are held in custodial accounts maintained by the
bank.
a. Categorization of Credit Risk of Securities Instruments
The District categorized its individual securities instruments in ascending order to reflect
the relative risk of loss of these instruments. This risk is called credit risky the lower the
number, the lower the risk. The three levels of risk prescribed by generally accepted
accounting principles are described below:
8
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
Notes to the Financial Statements
Categorized Instruments
Category 1 - Securities in this category are registered in the District's name and are in
the possession of the Trust Department of the bank employed by the District solely
for this purpose.
Category 2 - Securities instruments and book entry form securities in this category
are held in the name of the bank's Trust Department in a separate account which is in
the District's name.
Category 3 -Securities instruments or book entry form securities in this category are
not in the District's name or not held by the bank's Trust Department.
Uncategorized Instruments
Pooled investments are not categorized because of their pooled, rather than individual
nature. The value of each participating dollar equals the fair value divided by the
amortized cost.
b. Authorized Investments
The District's Investment Policy and the California Government Code allow the District
to invest in the following, provided the credit ratings of the issuers are acceptable to the
District. Maturities may not exceed one year except for Treasury notes and the Local
Agency Investment Fund.
■ _ United States Treasury Bills and Notes, and obligations of government agencies for
which the full faith and credit of the United States is pledged,
■ Collateralized Certificates of Deposit issued by a Federal or State chartered bank or a
Federal or State chartered savings and loan association,

Investment Account.
9

Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 5- Contractual Assessment Districts:
The District established the Contractual Assessment District (CAD) program to help
homeowners finance the cost of connecting to the District. The construction costs associated
with the projects within the program are capitalized and depreciated. Individual homeowners
are assessed an amount equal to their share of the construction cost and the connection fee.
The portion of the assessment relating to construction cost is recognized as contributed
capital. The assessments plus interest are generally payable over 10 years.
Accounts receivable at June 30, 2002 include CAD assessment receivables of$579,318. The
cost incurred on CAD projects in progress at June 30, 2002 amounted to approximately
$1,304,778;the total budgeted costs for these projects is approximately$1,759,000.
Note 6- Long-Term Debt:
a. Revenue Bonds-2002
In May 2002, the District issued $16,565,000 of Revenue Installment Certificates for
Wastewater Facilities Improvements,with interest rates ranging from 4.0%to 5.0%. The
bonds are secured by a pledge of revenue. Principal payments are due annually on
September 1, commencing in fiscal year 2005, and interest is payable semi-annually on
September I and March I of each year commencing September 1, 2002.
A reserve fund is established by the agreement and is required to be funded in an amount,
as of any date of calculation, equal to the maximum amount of Installment Payments due
in the current or any future year. As of June 30, 2002, the reserve was funded at
$1,296,261.
b. Refunding Revenue Bonds- 1998
In September 1998, the District issued $25,335,000 of Refunding Revenue Bonds with
interest rates ranging from 3.5% and 4.7%. The Bonds are secured by a pledge of
revenue. Principal payments are due annually on September 1, and interest is payable
semiannually on September I and March 1.
The District issued the 1998 Refunding Revenue Bonds to advance refund the 1994
Revenue Installment Certificates, which had interest rates of 5.25% to 6.25%. The net
proceeds from the issuance were used to purchase U.S. government securities and those
securities were deposited in an escrow fund to service and redeem the 1994 debt. As a
result, the advance refunding met the requirements of an in-substance debt defeasance,
and the outstanding balance of the 1994 debt was removed from the District's accounts.
13
Central Contra Costa unitary District
Notes to the Financial Statements
The excess of the amount required to be deposited into the escrow fund over the net
carrying amount of the 1994 debt resulted in a deferred loss. The deferred loss is
reported as reduction of the new debt and is being amortized over the 15 year term of the
new debt.
The outstanding principal balance of the defeased 1994 Revenue Installment Certificates
is$19,830,000 at June 30,2002.
The 2002 and 1998 Revenue Bonds debt service requirements are as follows:

The District's uninsured claims activity and exposure relates primarily to its general and
automobile liability program. The District records its estimated liability for uninsured
claims in this area based on the results of periodic actuarial evaluations. The actuarial
evaluations are typically performed every two years. For intervening years, the liability
for uninsured claims is reviewed for adequacy based on claims activity during the
intervening period.
For the fiscal years 2002 and 2001, settlements have not exceeded insurance coverage.

under which the District became responsible for providing sewage treatment facilities and
services to the City. Under this agreement, the City pays a service charge for its share of

facilities capital costs expended. Service charges and contributions to capital costs from the
City totaled$5,897,008 and$1,557,422 respectively,for the year ended June 30, 2002.
The District had the opportunity to make an unexpected capital purchase of real property
adjacent to its existing treatment plant. The City of Concord's share according to the terms of
the above agreement is $905,255. Because the purchase was unexpected, the District agreed
to accept four equal annual payments beginning July 1, 2004 and annually thereafter on July

payment will be in the amount of$246,000. At the end of June 30, 2002, interest of$11,645

Note 10- Pension Plan:
a. Plan Description
Substantially, all District full-time employees are eligible to participate in the Contra
Costa County Employees' Retirement Association, a cost-sharing multiple-employer
public employee deferred benefit retirement plan (Plan), governed by the County
Employee's Retirement Law of 1937, as amended. The latest available actuarial and
financial information for the Plan is for the year ended December 31, 2001. The Contra
Costa Employees' .Retirement Association issues a publicly available financial report that
includes financial statements and supplemental information of the Plan. That report is
available by writing to Contra Costa County Employees' Retirement Association, 1355
Willow Way Suite 221, Concord, CA 94520-5728 or calling(925)646-5741.
The Plan provides for retirement, disability, death and survivor benefits. Annual cost-of-
living (COL) adjustments to retirement allowances can be granted by the Retirement
Board as provided by State statutes. Service retirements are based on age, length of
service and final average salary. Subject to vested status, employees can withdraw
contributions plus interest credited or leave them as a deferred retirement when they
terminate or transfer to a reciprocal retirement system.

b. Plan ContributionRequirement
The Plan requires employees to pay one-half of the basic retirement benefit and one-half
of future COL costs. However the District has chosen to pay the employee's basic
contributions. The contribution requirement and payment from the District for the plan
year ended December 31, 2001 was $3,395,287. These contributions represented 20% of
covered payroll. The District's contribution for the plan years ended December 31, 2000
and 1999 were $3,155,031 and $2,976,257 respectively and were equal to the District's
required contributions and the employee's basic contribution for each year.
Note 11 - Post-Employment Health Care Benefits:
The District provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees.
These benefits are provided for in negotiated employment agreements, commonly referred to
as Memorandums of Understanding, which cover substantially all employees who reach
normal retirement age while working for the District. These benefits,and similar benefits for
active employees, are provided through a health maintenance organization and an insurance
company whose premiums are based on the benefits paid during the year. The District
recognizes the cost of providing those benefits by expensing the annual insurance premiums,
which were$1,027,611 for the 161 eligible retirees for the year ended June 30,2002.
Note 12- Commitments and Contingencies:
Commitments and contingencies, undeterminable in amount, include normal recurring
pending claims and litigation. In the opinion of management, based upon discussion with
legal counsel, there is no pending litigation which is likely to have a material adverse affect
on the financial position of the District.
Claims and losses are recorded when they are reasonably probable of being incurred and the
amount is estimable. Insurance proceeds and settlements are recorded when received.
The District has purchase commitments relating to construction projects at June 30, 2002 of
approximately$29,733,000.
