SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF AUDIT REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2005
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
ACCEPT financial audit report for the period April 1, 2004 through March 31, 2005, performed by
Harn & Dolan CPA's, Walnut Creek, California, as recommended by the Advisory Housing Commission.
11. FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Consolidated Operating Budget.
Ill. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
Harn & Dolan has completed their audit of the financial records of the Housing Authority of the
County of Contra Costa and all financial records of the Housing Authority are in order. Although there
were no material weaknesses identified, there was one non-financial reportable condition made.
Furthermore, Harn & Dolan issued a Management Letter listing 6 areas that presented opportunities for
strengthening internal controls and operating efficiencies. A copy of the Management Letter is attached
for your review and a full copy of the Audit Report is on file with the Clerk of the Board.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board of Commissioners elect not to accept the financial audit report as performed by

funds to either redo the financial audit report or contract with another certified public accountancy firm.

To the Board of Commissioners
and Executive Director
Housing Authority of the
County of Contra Costa.
Martinez, California
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the Housing Authority of the
County of Contra Costa for the year ended March 31,2005,we considered the Authority's internal
control structure to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control structure.
It's.
However,, during our audit we became aware of several matters that are opportunities for
strengthening internal controls and operating efficiency. The items that accompany this letter
summarize our comments and suggestions regarding those matters. We have issued a separate report
on the Authority's*internal control structures which is included in our financial report dated August
30, 2005. This letter does not affect our report dated August 30,2005,on the financial statements
of the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa.
We Will discuss the status of these comments during our next engagement. We have already
discussed many of these comments and suggestions with various Authority personnel,and we will
be pleased to discuss them in further detail at your convenience,to perform any additional study of
these matters, or to assist you in implementing recommendations.
Sincerely
Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa

I Subsequent to the preparation of the Financial Data Schedule,required by the U.S.Department
of Housing and Urban Development,Real Estate Assessment Center(HUD,REAC),adjustments
were made to the general ledger changing many of the balances. Upon further review, it was
discovered that the software allows routine transactions to be posted to prior periods. Controls
over the maintenance of the general ledger should be improved to insure that transactions are
posted only to current accounting periods or to prior periods only when authorized by appropriate
personnel.
Authority's Response-A review is under way to address this issue of postings to prior periods.
Restrictions will be placed in the software to prohibit postings out of period by staff. Further,
we are researching system-generated entries to determine if out of period postings can be
prohibited or, at a minimum,tracked.
2. Controls over the reconciliation procedures for the various Authority bank accounts could be
improved. The bank reconciliation documentation is initialed by the preparer,but not initialed
by a reviewer, if any. We noted several instances in which reconciling items should have
required adjustment to the general ledger. In one case, $146,697 was shown as an outstanding
credit to cash. This amount was transferred electronically to the vendor seven days after fiscal
year end. This amount should have been shown as an accounts payable and not a reconciling
item to cash. An audit adjusting entry was made for this amount. Controls over the accuracy of
the general ledger would be improved if bank reconciliations were reviewed and that review
documented. Controls would also be improved if, at year end, adjustments were made to the
general ledger for reconciling items that do not actually effect cash as of the date of the
reconciliation.
Authority's Response-Bank reconciliations will be reviewed and signed off by the Accounting
Supervisor not later than 45 days after the month has ended. During this time,the Accounting
Supervisor will also insure that the required J ournal entries are completed and processed.
3. During our audit we noted several payments made after the fiscal year end which were for costs
incurred during the fiscal year, These costs were not accrued to the correct fiscal year. The bulk
of these costs had to do with contractor retention associated with projects funded by the Capital
Fund Grants. In this case Net Assets was not effected. However, controls over financial
reporting should be improved to insure that all costs are recorded in the fiscal year incurred.
Authority's Response - We will develop a plan to review all payments made in the month
following the fiscal year to determine the proper accrual procedures.
4. During our review of the grant reports for the Public Housing Capital Grant Fund,we noted that
the general ledger accounts are too general to properly support the Annual
0t"StatementlPerformance and Evaluation Report. The generalledger accounts are not specific
enough to track and report the cost categories required by HUD. The final result is that total
costs reported to HUD via the Cost Certificate can not entirely be supported by the general
ledger.

Currently hard costs are posted to Construction-in-Progress and soft costs are expensed. A
spreadsheet is maintained to track cost detail based on an analysis of requisitions and invoices
over the entire grant period. This spreadsheet does not support the Annual
Statement/Performance and Evaluation Report.
Controls over the financial reporting to HUD would be improved if the general ledger accounting
system were expanded to include cost categories required to be reported upon in the Annual
Statement/Performance and Evaluation Report. Costs could then be posted directly to the
appropriate cost category as incurred. This step would not only improve the accuracy of the
Annual Statement/Performance and Evaluation Report, but it would provide more verifiable
support for the requisition of grant funds from HUD.
Authority's Response - We will immediately expand the general ledger to include the detail
required for the reporting to HUD. Invoices paid in the future will be posted to these new
accounts. Further, we will. research costs *incurred previously and transfer them to the
appropriate accounts.
5. During our review of the Public Housing tenant files,the Authority could not always document
that unit inspection were performed in accordance with HUD regulations. HUD requires that
dwelling units be inspected on an annual basis. We reviewed ten Public Housing tenant files and
noted that, in six cases, unit inspections were not documented to have been performed on an
annual basis. The duration between inspections ranged from fifteen to thirty-one months.
Controls over the Authority's compliance with HUD regulations would be improved if the
Authority established a system to insure that inspections are performed on an annual basis as
required by HUD.
Authority's Response-The Authority has engaged an outside firm to perform unit inspections.
We expect inspections to be performed on an annual basis in a more consistent manner in the
future.
6. During our review of seventeen Housing Choice Voucher tenant files,we noted the following:
a) Recertifications of tenant income and family composition were not done on an annual basis
in six cases.
b) Housing assistance payments appeared to be incorrectly calculated in four cases. The errors
appear to range from$3 to $43 per month.
c) Unit inspections were not documented to have been performed on an annual basis in three
cases.
Controls over the administration of the Housing Choice Voucher program need to be
strengthened to 'insure the Authority's compliance with HUD regulations.
Authority's Response - The Authority has implemented a program compliance reporting
system. We will continue to improve our quality assurance procedures in an effort to minimize
and ultimately eliminate errors made,

(Continued)
Authority-Wide Financial Statements
The Authority-wide financial statements are designed to be corporate-like in that all business type activities are
consolidated into columns that add to a total for the entire Authority.
These Statements include a Statement ofNet Assets,which is similar to a Balance Sheet., The Statement ofNet Assets
reports all financial and capital resources for the Authority. The statement is presented in the format where assets,minus
liabilities,equal"Net Assets",formerly known as equity. Assets and liabilities are presented in order of liquidity,
The focus ofthe Statement ofNet Assets(the"Unrestricted Net Assets")is designed to represent the net available liquid
(non-capital)assets,net of liabilities,for the entire Authority.Net Assets(formerly equity)are reported in three broad
categories:
NetAssets,Invested in Capital Assets,Net ofRelated Debt: This component ofNet Assets consists ofall Capital
Assets,reduced by the outstanding balances of any bonds,mortgages,-notes or other borrowings thdt are
attributable to the acquisition,construction,or improvement of those assets, including accrued interest.
Restricted Net Assets: This component ofNet Assets consists of restricted.assets,when constraints are placed
on the asset by creditors(such as debt covenants) grantors,contributors,laws,regulations,etc.
UnrestrictedNetAssets: Consists ofNet Assets that do not meet the definition oV`Net Assets Invested in Capital
Assets,Net of Related Debt",or"Restricted Net Assets".
The Authority-wide financial statements also include a Statement ofActivities(similarto an Income Statement). This
Statement measures net revenue(expense)for each of the Authority's functions and reports revenue by program.
General revenue is reported separately. The activities for the enterprise funds are presented by federal program
administered by the Authority.
The focus of the Statement of Activities is the"Change in Net Assets",which is similar to Net Income or Loss.
Fund Financial Statements
The Fund Financial Statements presentation is similar to the traditional government financial statements. The focus
is now on Major Funds,rather than fund types. The Authority's funds consist exclusively of Enterprise Funds,
Enterprise funds utilize the full accrual basis of accounting. The Enterprise method of accounting is similar to
accounting utilized by the private sector accounting.
Many of the funds administered by the Authority are provided by the Department of Housing and Urban*
Development. Others are segregated to enhance accountability and control. GASB's 34 and 37 require individual
enterprise funds to be reported as major funds if total assets,liabilities,revenue,or expenses of that individual fund
exceed.10%or corresponding element total of the Authority as a whole.

Major Factors Affecting the Statement of Revenue.Expenses and Changes in Net Assets
The major factor affecting change in revenue,as reflected in Table 3 above,is an increase to federal grants. This
was mainly due to an increase of$2 million in Capital Fund Grant Program revenue from HUD and a$3 million
increase in annual contributions earned in the Housing Choice Voucher Program. HUD allowed the Authority to
utilize project reserves to off set the increase in the Housing Assistance Payments.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
MARCH 31,2005
(Continued)
Major changes in expenses were primary due to an increase in housing assistance payments of the Housing Choice
Voucher Program. Housing assistance payments increased due to rising subsidies to families and higher rents.
Savings were recognized in the Administrative area over the prior year because of$1,000,000 grant to DeAnza.
Corporation was-a one time expense in the prior year and because no additional employee contribution to the
retirement fund were required in the current fiscal year.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Commissioners
Housing Authority of the
County of Contra Costa
Martinez, California
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the business-type activities, the aggregate
discretely presented component units,each major fund,and the aggregate remaining fund information of
the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa, California, as of and for the year ended March 3 1,
2005, which collectively comprise the Authority's basic financial statements as listed in the table of
contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Housing Authority of the County of
Contra Costa, California's, management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial-
statements
based on our audit. We did not audit the financial statements of HACCC Casa Del Rio,Inc,a
California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation and CDR Senior Housing Associates,a California Limited
Partnership,which are combined and reported as blended component units titled Casa Del Rio Hou-sing in
the fund financial statements. We did not audit the financial statements of DeAnza Housing Corporation,
a California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation and DeAnza, Gardens L.P. a California Limited
Partnership,which are combined and reported as discretely presented component units titled Component
Units in the Authority-wide financial statements. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors
whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts
included for Component Units and Casa Del Rio Housing is based on the reports of the other auditors.
4
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 and the reports of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our
opinions.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of other auditors, the financial statements referred to
above present fairly,in all material respects,the respective financial position of the bus iness-type activities,
the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa,California,as of March 3 1,2005,and
11
the respective changes in financial position and cash flows thereof for the year then ended in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with GovernmentAuditing Standards,we have also issued a report dated August 30,200510
on our consideration of the Housing Authority of the County of Contra'Costa's internal control over
financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,regulations,contracts
and 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 opon 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
conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit.
The management's discussion-and analysis on pages 1 through 10, 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 and the other auditors 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 opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa.,California,basic financial statements. The
accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is presented for the purpose of additional
analysis as required by the U.S.Office of Management and Budget Circular A-13 3,Audits of States,Local
Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations,and is not a required part of the basic financial statements.
Also,the accompanying Financial Data Schedule, included on pages 49,,53 is presented for-purposes of
additional analysis as required by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Real Estate
Assessment Center and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Also,the accompanying
40
Statement of Completed Capital Fund Program Project is presented for the purpose of additional analysis
as required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and is not a required part of the
basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and,in our opinion,is fairly stated,in all material respects,in relation
to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31,2005
Note 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNITICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The basic financial statements of The Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa. (the
Authority)have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America as applied to governmental entities. The Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establiCalshing governmental
accounting and financial reporting principles.
A. Organization
The Housing-Authority of the County of Contra Costa (the Authority) was established
pursuant to the State Health and Safety Code in 1941. The Authority is a public entity
organized under the laws of the State of California's Health and Safety Code to provide
housing assistance to low and moderate income families at rents they can afford. Eligibility
is determined by family composition and income in areas served by the Authority. To
accomplish this purpose,the Authority has entered into Annual Contributions Contracts with
the U.S.Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD)to operate assisted housing
programs.
The governing board of the Authority is the County Board of Supervisors,which appoints
a seven member advisory board. Although the Authority is a legally separate Agency,
maintaining separate accounting records,staff,and administration facilities,the fact that the
governing board is tile same as the County's defines the Authority as a blended component
unit of the County of Contra Costa. The Authority's financial information-is therefore
included as such in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the County of Contra
Costa. A copy of this report may be obtained by contacting the Office of the Auditor-
Controller,625 Court Street,Martinez,California 94553.
Be Financial Reporting Entitv
The Authority's combined financial statements include the accounts of all the Authority's
operations. The criteria for including organizations as component units within the Authority's
reporting entity, as set forth in Section 2100 of GASB's Codification of Governmental
Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards,include whether:
* The organization is legally separate(can sue and be sued in their own name)
* The Authority holds the corporate powers of the organization
* The Authority appoints a voting majority of the organization's board
* The Authority is able to impose its will on the organization
* The organization has the potential to impose a financial benefit/burden on the Authority
* There is financial dependency by the organization on the Authority

Note 1 (continued) (Continued)
Based on the aforementioned criteria, the Authority has blended and discretely presented
component units. The accompanying financial statements present the Authority and its
component units,entities.for which the Authority is considered to be financially accountable.
The blended component units,although legally separate entities,are,in substance,part of the
authority's operations. Discretely presented component units are reported in a separate
column in the government-wide financial statements to emphasize that they are legally
separate from the government. The component units are as follows:
Blended Component Units. HACCC Casa Del Rio, Inc (A California Nonprofit Public
Benefit Corporation) and CDR Senior Housing Associates (A California Limited
Partnership) . HACCC Dasa Del Rio, Inc. is the general partner of CDR Senior Housing
Associates. The officers and Board members of HACCC Casa Del Rio,Inc.are employees
of the Authority. The partnership was formed i 1 1994 to develop and operate an 82-unit

C. Basis of Presentation*
Government-Wide Financial Statements:
The Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Activities display ino 'ation about the
Authority as a whole. They *include all funds of the Authorityand a column for discretely
presented component units. The Authority has no fiduciary funds. The statements
distinguish between governmental and business-type activities. Governmental activities '
financedgenerally are through taxes, *intergovernmental revenues and other non-exchange
revenues. Business-type activities are financed in whole or in part by fees charged to
f6w
external parties for goods or services. The Authority's activities are strictly business-type,
Fund Financial Statements:
.Fund financial, statements of the Authority are organized into funds, each of which is
.considered a separate 'accounting entity. The operations of each,fund are accounted for
within a separate set of self balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund
Is Is a
equity, revenues, and expenses/expenditures-as appropriate. Government resources are
allocated to,and accounted for, in individual funds based upon the purpose for which they
are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. A fund is
considered major if it is the primary operating fund of the Authority or if total assets,
liabilities,revenue, or expenses/expenditures of the individual fund are at least 10 percent
of the Authority-wide total. The major enterprise funds,and a description of their purpose,
for the fiscal year ended March 31,2005, are as follows:
Public Housing Program Fund The Authority has contracted with HUD(Contract No.
SF-477)to provide housing for low-income families pursuant to the United States Housing
Act of 1937 and the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act., Under this
program, the Authority has used loans and grants from HUD to develop and maintain
housingwhich is rented to qualified low-income families. The notes an bonds used to
develop the initial properties are guaranteed by HUD. HUD instructed all Authorities to
remove this debt from their books of accounts. These HUD-guaranteed notes and bonds
22

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Continued)
Note 1 (continued)
have not been forgiven by HUD. The Public Housing Program's Annual Contributions
40
Contract (ACC) states that all debt services requirements related to these notes will be
HUD's responsibility. It is therefore management's opinion,that the Authority is not liable
for these notes and bonds unless the federal government fails to honor the ACC.
Public Housing Capital Fund Program-This program,funded by HUD,provides funds
for the modernization of Public Housing units. During modernization,costs are accounted
for in this Enterprise fund. Uponcompletion of the modernization for each specific.grant,
the capital assets are transferred to the Public Housing Program Enterprise Fund.
Housing Choice Voucher Program Fund - The Authority has contracted with HUD
(Contract No. SF-473) to provide rent subsidy payments to-low and moderate income
families pursuant to the United States Housing Act of 193 7 and the Department Of Hous ing
and Urban Development Act. Under this programHUD makes annual contribution payments
to the Authority for housing assistance payments(HAP)made on behalf of the families and
an administrative fee to cover.the Authority's costs of administering the program. Program
participants lease directly with private owners after being certified, by Authority staff, as
eligible under HUD regulations. Program participants make payments directly to owners for
their portion of the rent,as calculated by Authority staff based on HUD regulations, while
40
the Authority pays the remaining portion of the rent to the owners.

Note 1 (continued)
PROPRIETARY FUND TYPES
Enterprise Funds Enterprise funds are used to account for operations that are financed and
operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises,where the intent is that costs of
providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or
recovered primarily through user charges. Enterprise funds are also used when the governing
body has decided that periodic determination of revenue eamed, expenses incurred, or net
income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public -policy, management control,
accountability or other purposes.
At Accounting
D. Measurement Focus and Basis 01
Measurement focus refers to what is being measured;basis of accounting refers to when
revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial
statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurement made,regardless
of the measurement focus applied,
The Proprietary Fund Types are accounted for on an economic resources measurement focus
using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when they are earned and
expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred. Under this basis of accounting and
measurement focus, the Authority applies (a) all GASB pronouncements and (b) FASB
Statements and Interpretations,APB opinions,and Accounting Research Bulletins issued on
or before November 30, 1989, except those that conflict with a GASB pronouncement,
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items.
Operating revenues and expenses result from providing goods and services related to the
0
fund's ongoing operations. The principal operating revenue of the Authority's enterprise
funds is dwelling rental income, Operating expenses are necessary costs that have been
incurred in order to provide the good or service that is the.
primary activity of the fund. All
revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues
and expenses.
E. Interfund Transactions
Short-term amounts due between funds are classified as"Due from/to other funds". For
the purpose of the Authority-Wide Statement of Net Assets,, due from/to other funds,
totaling.$2,487,047,have been eliminated. See also Note 40

(Continued)
Note 1 (continued)
A long-term note due from the Management Enterprise Fund to the blended component
unit,HACCC Casa Del Rio,Inc in the amount of$185,000 has been eliminated from the
Authority-Wide Statement of Net Assets. See also note 5 and 7.
Participants of the Housing Choice Voucher Program have decided to occupy units owned
by the Authority's blended component unit. Housing assistance payments made by the
Housing Choice Voucher Program to Casa Del Rio Senior Housing(CDR)totaled$16,586,
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. CDR has a fiscal year end of December 3 1,
which differs from the fiscal year end of the primary government. HAP paid during CDR's
fiscal year totaled$15,937. The difference is insignificant. CDR also pays the Authority
$44,724 annually for management fees. Interfund revenue/expenses of$61,3 10 have been
eliminated for the purpose of preparing the Authority-Wide Statement of Activities.
Interfund transfers were made to close out programs and grants. Interfund transfers of
$1,881,916 have been eliminated from the Authority-Wide Statement of Activities.
F. Capital Assets
Capital Assets, which include property, plant and equipment, acquired for Proprietary
Funds are capitalized in the respective funds to which they apply. The Authority has an
established capitalization policy,which requires all acquisitions of property and equipment
in excess of $5,000 and all expenditures for .repairs, maintenance, renewals, and
betterments that materially prolong the useful lives of assets to be capitalized. Property
and equipment are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or
constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date
of donation. Interest expense incurred during the development period is capitalized. The
costs or normalmaintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or
materially extend assets lives are not capitalized.
Depreciation of exhaustible fixed assets used by 'Proprietary Funds is charged as an
expense against operations,and accumulated depreciation is reported on the Statement of
Net Assets. Capital assets are being depreciated using the straight-line basis over the
useful lives of the assets gepqLajl�as follows:

G. Accounts Receivable
Receivables are principally amounts due from HUD and tenants. Allowance for
doubtful accounts has been provided based on the-likelihood of the recovery.
H. Compensated Absences
It is the Authority's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused
vacation and sick pay benefits. There is no liability for unpaid accumulated sick leave
since the government does not have a policy to pay any amounts when employees
_. . separate from service with the Authority. All vacation pay is accrued when incurred
and allocated to the appropriate-proprietary fund. Total liability for the Authority is
$385,807 based on year-end hourly rates. Of this amount$314,,035 is considered by
the Authority.to be a current liability.
I. Net Assets
Net assets represents the differences between assets and liabilities,, Net Assets consist
of investment in capital assets,net of related debt;restricted net assets;*and unrestricted
net assets. Net assets invested in capital assets,net of related debt,consists of capital
assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of
borrowing used for acquisition, construction, or improvement- of those assets
(excluding interfund borrowing and including accrued interest). Net assets are reported
as restricted when there are limitations unposed on their use through constitutional
provisions or enabling legislation or through external restrictions imposed by creditors,
grantors,or laws or regulations of other governments.
J. Cash and Investments
Cash includes amounts in demand deposits and saving accounts. Investments are
reported in the accompanying statement of net assets at fair value. .
Changes in fair value that occur during a fiscal year are recognized as interest income
reported for that fiscal year. Interest income includes interest earnings,changes in fair
value, and any gains or losses realized upon the liquidation, maturity, or sale of
investments.
The Authority pools cash and investments of all funds. Each fund's share in this pool
is displayed in the accompanying financial statements as cash and investments,, Interest
income earned by the pooled investments is allocated to the various funds based on
each fund's average cash and investment balance.

budget is revised by the Board of Commissioners during the year to give consideration
to unanticipated revenue and expenditures primarily resulting from events unknown at
the time of budget adoption.
M. Estimates

estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities,and the reported revenues and expenses.
Actual results could-differ from those estimates.
N. Encumbrances
Encumbrance accounting is not employed by the Authority.
O. Grant Restrictions
