    INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

    Board of EducationFairfield-Suisun Unified School District

    Fairfield, California

    Report on the Financial Statements

    We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund,and the aggregate remaining fund information of Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015 and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectivelycomprise Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.

    Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

    Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in

    accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includesthe design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

     Auditor’s Responsibility 

    Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. Weconducted 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 andperform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free frommaterial misstatement.

     An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures inthe financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including theassessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’spreparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectivenessof the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includesevaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significantaccounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of thefinancial statements.

    We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

    Opinions

    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, therespective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remainingfund information of Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District, as of June 30, 2015, and the respectivechanges in financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generallyaccepted in the United States of America.

    Emphasis of Matter 

     As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, in June 2012, the Governmental AccountingStandards Board (GASB) issued GASB Statement No. 68, “Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions.” Also, in November 2013 the GASB issued GASB Statement No. 71, "Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date". As discussed in notes 7 and 8, GASBStatements No. 68 and No. 71 are effective for the District's fiscal year ending June 30, 2015. TheseStatements replace the requirements of GASB Statement No. 27, "Accounting for Pensions by State andLocal Governmental Employers" and GASB Statement No. 50, "Pension Disclosures". GASB StatementsNo. 68 and No. 71 establish standards for measuring and recognizing liabilities, deferred outflows of resources, deferred inflows of resources and expenses as well as identifies the methods andassumptions that should be used to project benefit payments, discount projected benefit payments totheir actuarial present value and attribute that present value to period of employee service. Notedisclosures and required supplementary information (RSI) requirements about pensions are alsoaddressed. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

    Other Matters

    Required Supplementary Information

     Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’sDiscussion and Analysis on pages 4 to 9, the General Fund Budgetary Comparison Schedule, Scheduleof Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB) Funding Progress, Schedule of the District's ProportionateShare of the Net Pension Liability, and Schedule of the District's Contributions on pages 50 to 55 be

    presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of thebasic financial statements, is required by Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it tobe an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriateoperational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the requiredsupplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United Statesof America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the informationand comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basicfinancial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements.We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limitedprocedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

    Supplementary Information

    Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectivelycomprise Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District’s basic financial statements. The accompanyingschedule of expenditure of federal awards as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular 

     A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations and the other supplementaryinformation listed in the table of contents are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not arequired part of the basic financial statements.

    The schedule of expenditure of federal awards and other supplementary information as listed in the tableof contents are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to theunderlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Suchinformation, except for the Schedule of Financial Trends and Analysis, has been subjected to the auditingprocedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures,including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves,and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the UnitedStates of America. In our opinion, the schedule of expenditure of federal awards and other supplementaryinformation as listed in the table of contents, except for the Schedule of Financial Trends and Analysis,are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

    The Schedule of Financial Trends and Analysis has not been subjected to the auditing proceduresapplied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.

    FAIRFIELD-SUISUN UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

    Management’s Discussion and Analysis

    For the Year Ended June 30, 2015

    An overview of the Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District’s (the “District”) financial activitiesfor the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, is presented in this discussion and analysis of theDistrict’s financial position.

    This Management Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the District’sfinancial statements, including the notes and supplementary information, which immediatelyfollow this section.

    Financial Highlights 

      The District’s General Fund balance increased by $2,713,167 from the prior year balanceof $26,019,348 at June 30, 2014, to $28,732,515 at June 30, 2015.

      The District’s enrollment and average daily attendance (ADA) reflected a slight decrease.The District’s second period (P-2) attendance, excluding Adult Education, increased from20,389 in 2012-13, to 20,505 in 2013-14, and reflected a decrease in 2014-15 to 20,343.Cumulatively, there is a slight decrease of 46 ADA, or .22%, over the past two years.

      The District is required to have available reserves equal to 3% of General Fund budgetedexpenditures, transfers out, and other uses. The required amount is approximately $5.6million. As of June 30, 2015, the District had $5,798,664 in its Special Reserve for Otherthan Capital Outlay Fund and $10,783,138 in General Fund unassigned amountsavailable to meet this requirement.

    Overview of the Financial Statements

    This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the District’s basicfinancial statements. The District’s basic financial statements comprise three components: 1)government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financialstatements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basicfinancial statements themselves.

    Government-Wide Financial Statements. The  government-wide financial statements aredesigned to provide readers with a broad overview of the District’s finances, in a manner similarto a private-sector business.

    The  statement of net position  presents information on all of the assets, liabilities, deferredoutflows of resources and deferred inflow of resources of the District, with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position mayserve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the District is improving ordeteriorating.

    The  statement of activities  presents information showing how the net position of the Districtchanged during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as theunderlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows.Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result incash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).

    The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 10-11 of this report.

    Fund Financial Statements. A  fund is a group of related accounts that is used to maintaincontrol over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The District,like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate

    compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the District can be dividedinto three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.

    Governmental Funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the samefunctions reported as  governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financialstatements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of expendable resources, as well as on balances of expendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may beuseful in evaluating government’s near-term financing requirements.

    Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financialstatements, it is useful to compare the information presented for  governmental funds with similar

    information presented for  governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-termfinancing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fundstatement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation tofacilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.

    The District maintains thirteen individual governmental funds. Information is presentedseparately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement ofrevenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General Fund, combined with theSpecial Reserve Fund for Other than Capital Projects, which together are considered to be a majorfund. Other major funds are the Capital Facilities Fund, the Bond, Interest and Redemption Fundand the Debt Service Fund. Data from all other governmental funds are combined into a single,

    aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.

    The District adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General Fund. A budgetary comparisonstatement has been provided for the General Fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget.

    The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 12-15 of this report.

    Fiduciary Funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of partiesoutside the governmental entity. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-widefinancial statement because the resources of those funds are not available to support the District’sown programs.

    The District uses an agency fund to account for resources held for student activities and groups.The basic fiduciary fund financial statement can be found on page 16 of this report.

    Notes to the Financial Statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential fora full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 17-49 of this report.

    Financial Analysis of the District’s Funds

    Table 1 summarizes the District’s net position as of June 30, 2015, and 2014. As noted earlier,net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. In thecase of the District, assets plus deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities plus deferredoutflows of resources. by $23,688,478 at the close of the most recent fiscal year.

    The largest portion of the District’s net position (619.38%) reflects its investment in capital assets(e.g., land, buildings and improvements, and furniture and equipment), less any related debt(general obligation bonds payable and obligations under capital leases less unspent bond proceeds) used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The District uses these capitalassets to provide services to students; consequently, these assets are not available for future

    spending. Although the District’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, itshould be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources,since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

    The second largest portion of the District’s net position (166.22%) represents resources that aresubject to external restrictions as to their use. This amount has decreased from prior years due tothe completion of major capital construction projects and expenditure of local bond funds andmatching state apportionments received for capital construction.

    The remaining portion of the District’s net position (-685.60%) represents unrestricted resourcesthat may be used to meet the District’s obligations to students, employees, and creditors.

    At the end of the current fiscal year, the District is able to report positive balances in two of thethree categories of net position.

    Table 2 shows the changes in net position for fiscal year 2015. The District’s net positiondecreased by $155.7 million, or 86.8%, from 2014. This large decrease is due to the cumulativeeffect of the implementation of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statements

     Number 68 and Number 71 which resulted in a $156.4 million restatement of Beginning NetPosition. For further information regarding these statements, please see the note on page 22 ofthis report.

    Governmental funds. The focus of the District’s governmental funds is to provide information onnear-term inflows, outflows, and balances of expendable resources. Such information is useful inassessing the District’s financing requirements. The unreserved fund balance is divided betweendesignated balances and undesignated balances. The District has designated portions of theunreserved fund balance to earmark resources for certain government-wide liabilities and post-employment obligations that are not recognized in the governmental funds. Undesignated balances in the general fund are required by state law to be appropriated in the following year’s budget. Fund balances of capital projects and other governmental funds are restricted by state lawto be spent for the purpose of the fund and are not available for spending at the District’sdiscretion.

     Debt Administration  – At June 30, 2015, the District had $277 million in long-term debtoutstanding – a decrease of 89.93% from last year as shown below in Table 5. The large increasein net pension liability is due to the implementation of GASB 68, which requires the District to

    recognize the long-term debt obligation for the State of California’s share of pensions asdetermined by an actuary. In past years the District has not been required to recognize this debt.

    Economic Factors Facing the District in the Coming Year

    The Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District is faced with the same economic pressures asdistricts throughout the State. Approximately ninety percent of the District’s revenues come fromthe State of California or are controlled by formulas set by the State of California. Therefore, theeconomic fortunes or misfortunes of the State are critical to the District. With the passage ofProposition 30 in November 2012, which increases taxes for up to six years, and with theimplementation of a new funding formula for school districts based on specific student populations, the District can expect to see increased revenues over the next few years.

    The District has made significant budget reductions over the last seven years. As the Districtlooks toward the future, while budget reductions will not likely not be needed, limited newresources will not meet all of the pent up need that has accumulated due to reductions. Therefore,it will be critical for the Governing Board to focus on a balanced approach to meeting all of its

    goals.

    4 - Student Body Fund:

    The Student Body Fund is a Fiduciary Fund for which the District acts as an agent. All cash activity andassets of the various student bodies of the District are accounted for in the Student Body Fund.

    Basis of Accounting: Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or expenses arerecognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to thetiming of the measurement made, regardless of the measurement focus applied.

     Accrual: Governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements and the fiduciary fundfinancial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized whenearned and expenses are recognized when incurred.

    Modified Accrual: The governmental funds financial statements are presented on the modified accrualbasis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded whensusceptible to accrual; i.e., both measurable and available. "Available" means collectible within the

    current period or within 60 days after year end. Expenditures are generally recognized under themodified accrual basis of accounting when the related liability is incurred. The exception to this generalrule is that principal and interest on general obligation long-term liabilities, if any, is recognized when due.

    Budgets and Budgetary Accounting: By state law, the Board of Education must adopt a final budget byJuly 1. A public hearing is conducted to receive comments prior to adoption. The Board of Educationcomplied with these requirements.

    Receivables: Receivables are made up principally of amounts due from the State of California for LocalControl Funding Formula funding and Categorical programs. The District has determined that noallowance for doubtful accounts was required as of June 30, 2015.

    Stores Inventory: Inventory in the General and Cafeteria Funds consists mainly of consumable suppliesheld for future use and are valued at average cost. Inventories are recorded as expenditures at the timeindividual inventory items are transferred from the warehouse to schools and offices.

    Capital Assets: Capital assets purchased or acquired, with an original cost of $15,000 or more, arerecorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost. Contributed assets are reported at fair marketvalue as of the date received. Additions, improvements and other capital outlay that significantly extendthe useful life of an asset are capitalized. Other costs incurred for repairs and maintenance are expensedas incurred. Capital assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over 5 - 50 years dependingon asset types.

    Interfund Activity: Interfund activity is reported as either loans, services provided, reimbursements or transfers. Loans are reported as interfund receivables and payables as appropriate and are subject toelimination upon consolidation. Services provided, deemed to be at market or near market rates, aretreated as revenues and expenditures/expenses. Reimbursements occur when one fund incurs a cost,

    charges the appropriate benefiting fund and reduces its related cost as a reimbursement. All other interfund transactions are treated as transfers. Transfers between governmental funds are netted as partof the reconciliation to the government-wide financial statements.

    NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

    Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources: In addition to assets, the statement of net position includes aseparate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred

    outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s), and assuch will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditures) until then. The Districthas recognized a deferred loss on refunding reported, which is in the statement of net position. Adeferred loss on refunding results from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and itsreacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shortened life of the refunded or refunding debt. Amortization for the year ended June 30, 2015 totaled $353,313. Additionally, theDistrict has recognized a deferred outflow of resources related to the payments made subsequent to themeasurement date for the pensions and changes in proportionate share.

    In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position reports a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents anacquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and as such, will not be recognized as aninflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The District has recognized a deferred inflow of resourcesrelated to the recognition of the pension liability reported which is in the statement of net position.

    Pensions:  For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources anddeferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciarynet position of the State Teachers’ Retirement Plan (STRP) and Public Employers Retirement Fund B(PERF B) and additions to/deductions from STRP’s and PERF B’s fiduciary net position have beendetermined on the same basis as they are reported by STRP and PERF B. For this purpose, benefitpayments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable inaccordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. The following is a summary of pension amounts in the aggregate:

    STRP PERF B Total

    Deferred outflows of resources $ 7,293,422 $ 4,654,062 $ 11,947,484

    Deferred inflows of resources $ 25,521,000 $ 10,325,000 $ 35,846,000Net pension liability $103,639,000 $ 30,048,000 $133,687,000

    Pension expense $ 10,467,925 $ 3,020,162 $ 13,488,087

    Compensated Absences: Compensated absences benefits totaling $1,314,484 are recorded as a long-term liability of the District. The liability is for the earned but unused benefits.

     Accumulated Sick Leave: Sick leave benefits are accumulated for each employee. The employees donot gain a vested right to accumulated sick leave. Accumulated employee sick leave benefits are notrecognized as liabilities of the District since cash payment of such benefits is not probable. Therefore,sick leave benefits are recorded as expenditures in the period that sick leave is taken.

    Unearned Revenue: Revenue from federal, state, and local special projects and programs is recognizedwhen qualified expenditures have been incurred. Funds received but not earned are recorded asunearned revenue until earned.

    NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

    Net Position: Net position is displayed in three components:

    1. Net Investment in Capital Assets – Consists of capital assets including restricted capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by the outstanding balances (excluding unspent bondproceeds) of any bonds, mortgages, notes, or other borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition,

    construction, or improvement of those assets.

    2. Restricted Net Position - Restrictions of the ending net position indicate the portions of net position notappropriable for expenditure or amounts legally segregated for a specific future use. The restrictionfor unspent categorical program revenues represents the portion of net position restricted to specificprogram expenditures. The restriction for special revenues represents the portion of net positionrestricted for special purposes. The restriction for debt service represents the portion of net positionavailable for the retirement of debt. The restriction for capital projects represents the portion of netposition restricted for capital projects. It is the District's policy to use restricted net position first whenallowable expenditures are incurred.

    3. Unrestricted Net Position – All other net position that do not meet the definitions of "restricted" or "netinvestment in capital assets".

    Fund Balance Classifications: Governmental Accounting Standards Board Codification Sections 1300and 1800, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions (GASB Cod. Sec. 1300 and1800) implements a five-tier fund balance classification hierarchy that depicts the extent to which agovernment is bound by spending constraints imposed on the use of its resources. The fiveclassifications, discussed in more detail below, are nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned andunassigned.

     A - Nonspendable Fund Balance:

    The nonspendable fund balance classification reflects amounts that are not in spendable form, such as

    revolving fund cash, prepaid expenditures and stores inventory.

    B - Restricted Fund Balance:

    The restricted fund balance classification reflects amounts subject to externally imposed and legallyenforceable constraints. Such constraints may be imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments, or may be imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enablinglegislation. These are the same restrictions used to determine restricted net position as reported in thegovernment-wide statements.

    C - Committed Fund Balance:

    The committed fund balance classification reflects amounts subject to internal constraints self-imposed by

    formal action of the Board of Education. Constraints giving rise to committed fund balance must beimposed no later than the end of the reporting period. The actual amounts may be determinedsubsequent to that date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements. Formal action by the Boardof Education is required to remove any commitment from fund balance. At June 30, 2015, the Districthad no committed fund balances.

    NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

    D - Assigned Fund Balance:

    The assigned fund balance classification reflects amounts that the District's Board of Education hasapproved to be used for specific purposes, based on the District's intent related to those specificpurposes. The Board of Education can designate personnel with the authority to assign fund balances,however at June 30, 2015, no such designation has occurred.

    E - Unassigned Fund Balance:

    In the General Fund only, the unassigned fund balance classification reflects the residual balance thathas not been assigned to other funds and that is not restricted, committed, or assigned to specificpurposes.

    In any fund other than the General Fund, a positive unassigned fund balance is never reported becauseamounts in any other fund are assumed to have been assigned, at least, to the purpose of that fund.However, deficits in any fund, including the General Fund that cannot be eliminated by reducing or eliminating amounts assigned to other purposes are reported as negative unassigned fund balance.

    Fund Balance Policy: The District has an expenditure policy relating to fund balances. For purposes of fund balance classifications, expenditures are to be spent from restricted fund balances first, followed inorder by committed fund balances (if any), assigned fund balances and lastly unassigned fund balances.

    While GASB Cod. Sec. 1300 and 1800 do not require districts to establish a minimum fund balance policyor a stabilization arrangement, GASB Cod. Sec. 1300 and 1800 do require the disclosure of a minimumfund balance policy and stabilization arrangements, if they have been adopted by the Board of Education.

     At June 30, 2015, the District has not established a minimum fund balance policy nor has it established astabilization arrangement.

    Custodial Relationships: The Statement of Fiduciary Assets and Liabilities represents the assets and

    liabilities of various student organizations within the District. As the funds are custodial in nature, nomeasurement of operating results is presented.

    Property Taxes: Secured property taxes are attached as an enforceable lien on property as of March 1.Taxes are due in two installments on or before December 10 and April 10. Unsecured property taxes aredue in one installment on or before August 31. The County of Solano bills and collects taxes for theDistrict. Tax revenues are recognized by the District when received.

    Encumbrances: Encumbrance accounting is used in all budgeted funds to reserve portions of applicableappropriations for which commitments have been made. Encumbrances are recorded for purchaseorders, contracts, and other commitments when they are written. Encumbrances are liquidated when thecommitments are paid. All encumbrances are liquidated at June 30.

    Eliminations and Reclassifications: In the process of aggregating data for the Statement of Net Positionand the Statement of Activities, some amounts reported as interfund activity and balances in the fundswere eliminated or reclassified. Interfund receivables and payables were eliminated to minimize the"grossing up" effect on assets and liabilities within the governmental activities column.

    NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

    Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generallyaccepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions.

    These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures or expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results maydiffer from those estimates.

    New Accounting Pronouncements: In June 2012 GASB issued GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting andFinancial Reporting for Pensions. This Statement replaces the requirements of GASB Statement No. 27,

     Accounting for Pensions by State and Local Governmental Employers and GASB Statement No. 50,Pension Disclosures, as they relate to governments that provide pensions through pension plansadministered as trusts or similar arrangements that meet certain criteria. GASB Statement No. 68requires governments providing defined benefit pensions to recognize their long-term obligation for pension benefits as a liability for the first time, and to more comprehensively and comparably measurethe annual costs of pension benefits. The Statement also enhances accountability and transparency

    through revised and new note disclosures and required supplementary information (RSI). This Statementis effective for the District’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2015. Based on the implementation of GASBStatement No. 68, the District’s July 1, 2014 net position was restated by $156,470,915, because of therecognition of the net pension liability and deferred outflows of resources .

    In November 2013 GASB issued Statement No. 71, Pension Transition for Contributions MadeSubsequent to the Measurement Date. The objective of this Statement is to address an issue regardingapplication of the transition provisions of GASB Statement No. 68. The issue relates to amountsassociated with contributions, if any, made by a state or local government employer or nonemployer contributing entity to a defined benefit pension plan after the measurement date of the government’sbeginning net pension liability. This Statement amends paragraph 137 of GASB Statement No. 68 torequire that, at transition, a government recognize a beginning deferred outflow of resources for itspension contributions, if any, made subsequent to the measurement date of the beginning net pensionliability. GASB Statement No. 68, as amended, continues to require that beginning balances for other deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions be reported attransition only if it is practical to determine all such amounts. The provisions of this Statement arerequired to be applied simultaneously with the provisions of GASB Statement No. 68 and are effective for the District’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2015. Based on the implementation of GASB Statement No. 71,the District established a deferred outflow category to report the payments made subsequent to themeasurement date of the pensions.

    NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

    In February 2015, the GASB has issued its final standard on accounting and financial reporting issuesrelated to fair value measurements, applicable primarily to investments made by state and local

    governments. GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application, defines fair value anddescribes how fair value should be measured, what assets and liabilities should be measured at fair value, and what information about fair value should be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.Under GASB Statement No. 72, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an assetor paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurementdate. Investments, which generally are measured at fair value, are defined as a security or other assetthat governments hold primarily for the purpose of income or profit and the present service capacity of which are based solely on their ability to generate cash or to be sold to generate cash. Before theissuance of GASB Statement No. 72, state and local governments have been required to disclose howthey arrived at their measures of fair value if not based on quoted market prices. Under the newguidance, those disclosures have been expanded to categorize fair values according to their relativereliability and to describe positions held in many alternative investments. This statement is effective for the District’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2016. Management has not determined what impact this GASB

    statement will have on its financial statements.

    In June 2015, the GASB issued GASB Statement No. 73, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions and Related Assets That Are Not within the Scope of GASB Statement No. 68, and

     Amendments to Certain Provisions of Statements No. 67 and 68, completes the suite of pensionstandards. GASB Statement No. 73 establishes requirements for those pensions and pension plans thatare not administered through a trust meeting specified criteria (in other words, those not covered byGASB Statements No. 67 and No. 68). The requirements in GASB Statement No. 73 for reportingpensions generally are the same as in GASB Statement No. 68. However, the lack of a pension plan thatis administered through a trust that meets specified criteria is reflected in the measurements. Theprovisions in GASB Statement No. 73 are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2015, exceptthose provisions that address employers and governmental nonemployer contributing entities for pensions that are not within the scope of GASB Statement No. 68, which are effective for fiscal yearsbeginning after June 15, 2016. Management has not determined what impact this statement will have onits financial statements.

    NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

    In June 2015, the GASB issued GASB Statement No. 74, Financial Reporting for PostemploymentBenefit Plans Other Than Pension Plans, which replaces GASB Statement No. 43, Financial Reporting

    for Postemployment Benefit Plans Other Than Pension Plans. GASB Statement No. 74 addresses thefinancial reports of defined benefit OPEB plans that are administered through trusts that meet specifiedcriteria. The GASB Statement follows the framework for financial reporting of defined benefit OPEB plansin GASB Statement No. 45 by requiring a statement of fiduciary net position and a statement of changesin fiduciary net position. The Statement requires more extensive note disclosures and RSI related to themeasurement of the OPEB liabilities for which assets have been accumulated, including informationabout the annual money-weighted rates of return on plan investments. GASB Statement No. 74 also setsforth note disclosure requirements for defined contribution OPEB plans. This statement is effective for theDistrict’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2017. Management has not determined what impact this statementwill have on its financial statements.

    In June 2015, the GASB issued GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions, which replaces the requirements of GASB StatementNo. 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other ThanPensions. GASB Statement No. 75 requires governments to report a liability on the face of the financialstatements for the OPEB that they provide. Governments that are responsible only for OPEB liabilitiesrelated to their own employees and that provide OPEB through a defined benefit OPEB plan administeredthrough a trust that meets specified criteria will report a net OPEB liability, which is the differencebetween the total OPEB liability and assets accumulated in the trust and restricted to making benefitpayments. Governments that participate in a cost-sharing OPEB plan that is administered through a trustthat meets the specified criteria will report a liability equal to their proportionate share of the collectiveOPEB liability for all entities participating in the cost-sharing plan. Governments that do not provideOPEB through a trust that meets specified criteria will report the total OPEB liability related to their employees. GASB Statement No. 75 carries forward from GASB Statement No. 45 the option to use aspecified alternative measurement method in place of an actuarial valuation for purposes of determiningthe total OPEB liability for benefits provided through OPEB plans in which there are fewer than 100 planmembers (active and inactive). This option was retained in order to reduce costs for smaller 

    governments. GASB Statement No. 75 requires governments in all types of OPEB plans to present moreextensive note disclosures and required supplementary information (RSI) about their OPEB liabilities.

     Among the new note disclosures is a description of the effect on the reported OPEB liability of using adiscount rate and a healthcare cost trend rate that are one percentage point higher and one percentagepoint lower than assumed by the government. The new RSI includes a schedule showing the causes of increases and decreases in the OPEB liability and a schedule comparing a government’s actual OPEBcontributions to its contribution requirements. Some governments are legally responsible to makecontributions directly to an OPEB plan or make benefit payments directly as OPEB comes due for employees of other governments. In certain circumstances (called special funding situations) GASBStatement No. 75 requires these governments to recognize in their financial statements a share of theother government’s net OPEB liability. This statement is effective for the District’s fiscal year endingJune 30, 2018. Earlier application is encouraged. Management has not determined what impact thisstatement will have on its financial statements.

    NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

    In June 2015, the GASB issued GASB Statement No. 76, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for State and Local Governments, which reduces the GAAP hierarchy to two

    categories of authoritative GAAP from the four categories under GASB Statement No. 55, The Hierarchyof Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for State and Local Governments. The first category of authoritative GAAP consists of Statements of Governmental Accounting Standards. The second categorycomprises GASB Technical Bulletins and Implementation Guides, as well as guidance from the AICPAthat is cleared by the GASB. The Statement also addresses the use of authoritative and nonauthoritativeliterature in the event that the accounting treatment for a transaction or other event is not specified withina source of authoritative GAAP. These changes are intended to improve financial reporting for governments by establishing a framework for the evaluation of accounting guidance that will result ingovernments applying that guidance with less variation. That will improve the usefulness of financialstatement information for making decisions and assessing accountability and enhance the comparabilityof financial statement information among governments. The Statement also is intended to improveimplementation guidance by elevating its authoritative status to a level that requires it be exposed for aperiod of broad public comment prior to issuance, as is done for other GASB pronouncements. In

    connection with GASB Statement No. 76, the GASB also recently cleared Implementation Guide No.2015-1, which incorporates changes resulting from feedback received during the public exposure of all of implementation guidance previously issued. This statement is effective for the District’s fiscal year endingJune 30, 2016. The implementation of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on theDistrict's financial statements.

    NOTE 2 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS (Continued)

    Because the District's deposits are maintained in a recognized pooled investment fund under the care of a third party and the District's share of the Treasurer's Pooled Investment Fund does not consist of 

    specific, identifiable investment securities owned by the District, no disclosure of the individual depositsand investments or related custodial credit risk classifications is required.

    In accordance with applicable state laws, the Solano County Treasurer may invest in derivative securitieswith the State of California. However, at June 30, 2015, the Solano County Treasurer has representedthat the Pooled Investment Fund contained no derivatives or other investments with similar risk profiles.

    Custodial Credit Risk: The District limits custodial credit risk by ensuring uninsured balances arecollateralized by the respective financial institution. Cash balances held in banks are insured up to$250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and are collateralized by the respectivefinancial institution. At June 30, 2015, the carrying amount of the District's accounts was $598,473 andthe bank balance was $603,171, all of which was insured.

    Cash with Fiscal Agent: Cash with Fiscal Agent totaling $9,423,779, represents cash held by a bank astrustee for the repayment of General Obligation Bonds, Mello-Roos Bonds and Certificates of Participation. This amount is fully collateralized.

    Interest Rate Risk: The District's investment policy does not limit cash and investment maturities as ameans of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates. AtJune 30, 2015, the District had no significant interest rate risk related to cash and investment held.

    Credit Risk: The District's investment policy does not limit its investment choices other than the limitationsof state law.

    Concentration of Credit Risk: The District does not place limits on the amount it may invest in any oneissuer. At June 30, 2015, the District had no concentration of credit risk.

    Interfund Activity: Transactions between funds of the District are recorded as interfund transfers. Theunpaid balances at year end, as a result of such transactions, are shown as due to and due from other funds.
