    Memo

    Date: 10/11/2017

    To: Mark R. Williams and District Board of Directors Members MW

    From: Susan McGuire, CPA SM

    Re: Capital Facilities Charge Accounting and Reporting

    Background: California Government Code Section 66013 was substantially amended in 1998 that imposed more stringent accounting and reporting requirements for fees collected for sewer connection and capacity charges. Capacity charge is defined as a charge for facilities in existence at the time a charge is imposed or charges for new facilities to be constructed in the future that are of benefit to the person or property being charged.

    The accounting requirements provide that the District deposit its Capital Facilities Charges (CFC) and related interest earned into a separate Connection Fees account and to account for those charges in a manner to avoid commingling with other monies of the District and to expend those charges only for the purposes for which the charges were collected. The law also requires that this information simply be made available to the public within 180 days after the end of the fiscal year.

    Pursuant to the Districts Ordinance Code, Title 2, Chapter 1, the District charges a Capital Facilities Charge for each Equivalent Sewer Unit as outlined in Section 907 for new connections and for the additions or alterations of existing structures. The District identifies projects which expand existing capacity and allocates funding from the Capital Facilities Charge fund as part of the annual budget.

    Attached for information only is a copy of the District's annual Revenue and Expenditure Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 and report of Capital Projects budgeted for FY 2016/17 that fully comply with the accounting and reporting provisions of Government Code Section 66013.

    October 6, 2017

    To the Board of DirectorsLas Gallinas Valley Sanitary DistrictSan Rafael, California

    We have audited the financial statements of Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District as of and for the year ended June 30, 2017, and have issued our report thereon dated October 6, 2017. Professional standards require that we advise you of the following matters relating to our audit.

    Our Responsibility in Relation to the Financial Statement Audit

    As communicated in our engagement letter dated May 21, 2017, our responsibility, as described by professional standards, is to form and express an opinion(s) about whether the financial statements that have been prepared by management with your oversight are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit of the financial statements does not relieve you or management of your respective responsibilities.

    Our responsibility, as prescribed by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, as part of our audit, we considered the internal control of Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District solely for the purpose of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal control.

    We are also responsible for communicating significant matters related to the audit that are, in our professional judgment, relevant to your responsibilities in overseeing the financial reporting process. However, we are not required to design procedures for the purpose of identifying other matters to communicate to you.

    Planned Scope and Timing of the Audit

    We conducted our audit consistent with the planned scope and timing we previously communicated to you.

    Compliance with All Ethics Requirements Regarding Independence

    The engagement team, others in our firm, as appropriate, our firm, and our network firms have complied with all relevant ethical requirements regarding independence.

    Qualitative Aspects of the Entitys Significant Accounting Practices

    Significant Accounting Policies

    Management has the responsibility to select and use appropriate accounting policies. A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District is included in Note 2to the financial statements. There have been no initial selection of accounting policies and no changes in significant accounting policies or their application during 2017. No matters have come to our attention that would require us, under professional standards, to inform you about (1) the methods used to account for significant unusual transactions and (2) the effect of significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus.

    Significant Accounting Estimates

    Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on managements current judgments. Those judgments are normally based on knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ markedly from managements current judgments.

    The most sensitive accounting estimates affecting the financial statements are:

    Managements estimate of the net pension liability is based on actuarial assumptions and GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions An Amendment of GASB Statement 27. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimate of the net pension liability and determined that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

    Managements estimate of the net Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) obligation is based on actuarial assumptions and GASB Statement No. 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the net OPEB obligation and determined that it is reasonable in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

    Financial Statement Disclosures

    Certain financial statement disclosures involve significant judgment and are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statement users. The most sensitive disclosures affecting Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary Districts financial statements relate to:

    The Defined Benefit Pension Plan disclosure in Note 11 to the financial statements, including disclosures regarding deferred inflows, deferred outflows, net pension liability, and pension expense.

    Note 12 to the financial statements regarding Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB), which describes the Districts postretirement benefit policies.

    Commitments for ongoing projects found in Note 10 to the financial statements describing expected future expenses.

    The 2017 Revenue Bond disclosure found in Note 8E to the financial statements. This includes important information regarding bond provisions.

    Significant Difficulties Encountered during the Audit

    We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management relating to the performance of the audit.

    Uncorrected and Corrected Misstatements

    For purposes of this communication, professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that we believe are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. Further, professional standards require us to also communicate the effect of uncorrected misstatements related to prior periods on the relevant classes of transactions, account balances or disclosures, and the financial statements as a whole. The attached proposed journal entry report (Attachment A) summarizes uncorrected financial statement misstatements whose effects in the current and prior periods, as determined by management, are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole.

    In addition, professional standards require us to communicate to you all material, corrected misstatements that were brought to the attention of management as a result of our audit procedures. None of the misstatements identified by us as a result of our audit procedures and corrected by management (Attachment B) were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole

    Disagreements with Management

    For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, which could be significant to Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary Districts financial statements or the auditors report. No such disagreements arose during the course of the audit.

    Representations Requested from Management We have requested certain written representations from management, which are included in the attached letter dated October 6, 2017 (Attachment C). Managements Consultations with Other Accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters. Management informed us that, and to our knowledge, there were no consultations with other accountants regarding auditing and accounting matters. Other Significant Matters, Findings, or Issues In the normal course of our professional association with Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District, we generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, operating and regulatory conditions affecting the entity, and operational plans and strategies that may affect the risks of material misstatement. None of the matters discussed resulted in a condition to our retention as Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary Districts auditors. Other Information in Documents Containing Audited Financial Statements Pursuant to professional standards, our responsibility as auditors for other information in documents containing Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary Districts audited financial statements does not extend beyond the financial information identified in the audit report, and we are not required to perform any procedures to corroborate such other information. However, in accordance with such standards, we have applied certain limited procedures, including inquiring of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with managements responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. Additionally, we read the information and considered whether such information, or the manner of its presentation, was materially inconsistent with its presentation in the financial statements. Our responsibility also includes communicating to you any information which we believe is a material misstatement of fact. Nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that such information, or its manner of presentation, is materially inconsistent with the information, or manner of its presentation, appearing in the financial statements. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of Directors and management of Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
