Carpinteria Valley Water District
Introduction
It is our pleasure to submit the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the
Carpinteria Valley Water District (District) for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013,
following guidelines set forth by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. District staff
prepared this financial report. The District is ultimately responsible for both the accuracy of the
data and the completeness and the fairness of presentation, including all disclosures in this
financial report. We believe that the data presented is accurate in all material respects. This report
is designed in a manner that we believe necessary to enhance your understanding of the District’s
financial position and activities.
District Structure and Leadership
The Carpinteria Valley Water District is a special district of the State of California in the southern
coastal portion of Santa Barbara County and includes the City of Carpinteria. The District, which
covers approximately 11,300 acres, is bound on the south by the Pacific Ocean and on the north
by the foothills of the Santa Ynez mountains. The District provides domestic water service to a
population of about 15,700 and approximately 3,883 acres of orchards (typically citrus and
avocado) and various nurseries and greenhouses through a total of 4,424 service connections.
The District is a single purpose enterprise supported solely by the revenue obtained from the
customers it serves. It is governed by a five-member Board of Directors. Board members are
elected by registered voters of the District to four-year terms with elections held in even numbered
years. The Board establishes policy, sets water rates and charges, establishes an annual budget,
approves contracts and labor agreements, and has the authority to adopt ordinances that have the
force of law within the District.
Day-to-day management of the District is performed by a General Manager hired by the Board.
The General Manager hires and manages a total of 19 employees who perform the administrative,
business, engineering, and operations and maintenance of the District. As a public health and
safety water utility the District provides 24/7 emergency service.

The Carpinteria County Water District was incorporated in 1941 as an area-wide organization to
recharge valley wells after several dry years led to alarming drops in the water table. In 1997 the
District adopted an AB3030 Groundwater Management Plan establishing its authority as the
groundwater management agency for the Carpinteria Groundwater Basin. In 1949, voters elected
to participate in the Cachuma Project to bring water from Lake Cachuma to south coast water
agencies. In 1966, the District changed its name to Carpinteria Valley Water District. And in 1991,
voters elected to participate in the State Water Project to provide a conduit to import water from
northern California into Lake Cachuma. As of today, the District relies primarily on well water
and allotments from Lake Cachuma, while State water provides a small but important buffer to
these primary sources.
Local economy
Carpinteria Valley Water District provides water service to the City of Carpinteria and to
unincorporated portions of the County of Santa Barbara. Carpinteria Valley has a diverse economy,
including a cut flower industry, a strong industrial sector, and a thriving tourism sector. In 2013,
the Valley enjoyed lower unemployment rates and higher wage increase than the rest of Santa
Barbara County and much of the state of California. The Southern California Leading Economic
Indicator has been increasing since 2009 and in expected to continue increasing in 2015.
Long-term financial planning and major initiatives
The District has adopted a policy to hold funds in reserve to cover six months of operating
expenditures, to fund capital projects, to mitigate volatility in revenues and to provide for
emergency expenditures. The District’s Reserves Policy will be updated in 2015 to address
changes in risk factors and ensure the District has sufficient reserves to meet objectives and
maintain or improve certain credit ratings. The District has maintained a credit rating of AA-
from Standard and Poors since 2008.
Capital expenditures continue to focus on capital assets related to water transmission and
distribution and water production. As a result of drought-related reductions in State water and Lake
Cachuma allotments, the District has several projects in progress and planned that maintain and
upgrade the capacity of existing wells. Transmission and distribution projects include replacing
aging valves and pipelines, upgrading bridge pipelines and replacement and upgrades of pump
station motors and generators.
The District has completed several major capital improvement projects over the last decade to
improve the safety and reliability of the water system as well as to improve water quality.
Headquarters Well: The Headquarters well, completed in 2004, is capable of producing up to
2 million gallons of water per day. Water produced from this well is typically stored in the
Foothill reservoir for use in the Central Pressure zone which supplies the majority of CVWD’s
3
residential customers. Additionally, this water can be blended with incoming Cachuma water
using Foothill reservoir booster pumps. Blending Cachuma surface water and District
groundwater reduces the concentration of dissolved organic material that reacts with chlorine
producing potentially harmful disinfection by-products. These disinfectant by-products have
been linked to increased risk of cancer. This project cost approximately $2,100,000.
El Carro Well: The El Carro well, completed in 2010, is capable of producing up to 1.5
million gallons of water per day. Water produced from this well is also stored in the Foothill
reservoir producing the same water quality benefits highlighted in the discussion about
Headquarters well. This well, as the second highest producer also gives the District greater
reliability in its groundwater production capability. $1,000,000 of this project was paid for by
State grant funds. This project cost approximately $2,500,000.
CZ Main: The CZ main project was completed in 2012. The project consisted of a mile and a
half of 12 inch Transmission main to convey water produced from El Carro Well to the Foothill
Reservoir and the Central pressure zone. The project also allows more flexibility for water
delivered to the Central zone. This project cost approximately $1,900,000.
Foothill Reservoir: The three million gallon Foothill Reservoir (underground tank) was built
in 2006 to increase the storage capacity within the District, to store groundwater from
Headquarters well for blending and to reduce the District’s reliance on imported surface water
supplies The Reservoir is situated at elevation 260 feet above sea level located within foothills of
Carpinteria – a location that permits gravity flow distribution of well and blended water to all of
the City of Carpinteria. The tanks location and configuration allows the District to target much of
the local groundwater produced to its residential customers. This project cost approximately
$11,700,000.
Ortega Reservoir Cover: The Ortega Reservoir is a 20 million gallon concrete reservoir built
and owned by the United States Bureau of Reclamation located at elevation 454 feet above sea
level in the hills behind Summerland. Water stored in Ortega Reservoir is utilized by both the
Carpinteria Valley Water District and the Montecito Water District. The reservoir is part of the
USBRs South Coast Conduit transmission system. In order to meet Federal and State water
quality standards, the two agencies jointly paid for the alteration of the reservoir and installation
of a 6 acre aluminum roof. The roof prevents evaporation and contamination of treated surface
water and reduces the amount of disinfectant needed to maintain water quality, thereby
contributing to the reduction of unwanted disinfection by-products. Completed in 2006, the
District’s share of the project’s cost was approximately $10,700,000.
Carpinteria Reservoir Cover: The Carpinteria reservoir is a 14 million gallon concrete
reservoir built and owned by the United States Bureau of Reclamation located at elevation 360
feet above sea level in the eastern Carpinteria foothills. The District alone paid for the alteration
of the reservoir and installation of a protective roof, producing the same benefits as the Ortega
Reservoir. Completed in 2004 this project cost approximately $6,400,000.
4
William B. Cater Water Treatment Plant and Pumping Upgrades: District water from the
State Water Project and Lake Cachuma is treated at the City of Santa Barbara’s Cater Water
Treatment Plant. In order to reduce the concentration of dissolved organic matter (and resulting
disinfection byproducts) the City embarked on an ozone pretreatment upgrade. The ozone
facility oxidizes organic matter in the raw surface water, augmenting the convention treatment
process to remove more organic matter from the water. Completed in 2013, the project also
involved upgrading a pumping station that sends water from Cater to the Montecito and
Carpinteria Water Districts. The District’s share of the project’s cost was approximately
$4,400,000.
Due to the extended California-wide drought, the District declared a Stage One Drought
Emergency in February 2014, calling for voluntary 20 percent reduction in water usage to help
ensure adequate water supplies. In June 2014 the Board held rate hearings to add a drought
surcharge to water billing rates to offset drought-related expenditures. This drought surcharge will
be rescinded once the drought ends. Awards and Acknowledgements
The preparation of this report would not have been possible without the skill, effort, and dedication
of the entire staff of the Business Office. We wish to thank all District departments for their
assistance in providing the data necessary to prepare this report. Credit also is due to the Board for
their unfailing support for maintaining the highest standards of professionalism in their oversight
of the District’s finances.

Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of Carpinteria Valley Water District, as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the respective changes in operations and cash flows thereof for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as well as accounting systems prescribed by the State Controller’s Office and state regulations governing special districts.
Emphasis of a Matter
As discussed in Note 1 and Note 15 to the basic financial statements, the District has changed its method for accounting and reporting certain items previously reported as assets or liabilities during fiscal years 2013 and 2014 due to the adoption of Governmental Accounting Standards Board’s Statement No. 65, “Items Previously Reporting as Assets and Liabilities”. The adoption of this standard required retrospective application resulting in a $543,285 and $570,940 reduction of previously reported net position as of July 1, 2013 and 2012, respectively. 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’s Discussion and Analysis on pages 3 through 13 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audits of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

Management’s discussion and analysis of the District's financial performance provides an overview of the District's financial activities for the year ended June 30, 2014. Please read it in conjunction with the District's financial statements, which follow this section.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis provides an introduction and a brief description of the District's financial statements, including the relationship of the statements to each other and the significant differences in the information they provide. The District's financial statements include four components:
Statement of Net Position Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position Statement of Cash Flows Notes to the Financial Statements
The statement of net position includes all the District's assets and deferred outflows and liabilities and deferred inflows, with the difference reported as net position. Net position may be displayed in the categories:
Net Investment in Capital Assets Restricted Unrestricted
The statement of net position provides the basis for computing rate of return, evaluating the capital structure of the District and assessing the liquidity and financial flexibility of the District.
The statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net position presents information which shows how the District's net position changed during the year. All of the current year's revenues and expenses are recorded when the underlying transaction occurs, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows. The statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net position measures the success of the District's operations over the past year and determines whether the District has recovered its costs through user fees and other charges.
The statement of cash flows provides information regarding the District's cash receipts and cash disbursements during the year. This statement reports cash activity in four categories:
Operations Noncapital financing Capital and related financing Investing
This statement differs from the statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net position because the statement accounts only for transactions that result in cash receipts or cash disbursements.
The notes to the financial statements provide a description of the accounting policies used to prepare the financial statements and present material disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles that are not otherwise present in the financial statements.

A combination of conservation and cooler conditions throughout the year contributed to the decrease in water sales in FY 10/11. The increase in FY 11/12 is attributed to dryer conditions which resulted in increased irrigation demand as well as the sale of 800 AF of water to neighboring water agencies. The increase in FY 12/13 is primarily due to the 680 AF of water sales to neighboring water agencies as well as an increase in demand of 277 AF.

A) Reporting Entity
The Carpinteria Valley Water District (the “District”) (formerly known as Carpinteria CountyWater District) was incorporated on February 13, 1941 under authority of the CaliforniaCounty Water Districts Act. By contract dated April 17, 1953, the District entered into anagreement with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation for the construction of a distribution system toserve approximately 96% of the District, thereby creating Improvement District #1. TheDistrict is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of five members elected from voters ofthe District.
B) Accounting Basis
The District reports its activities as an enterprise fund, which is used to account for operationswhere the intent of the District is that the costs of providing goods and services to the generalpublic on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges.Revenues and expenses are recognized on the accrual basis, as such, revenues are recognizedin the accounting period in which they are earned and expenses are recognized in the periodincurred.
An enterprise fund is accounted for on a cost of services or "capital maintenance"measurement focus. This means that all assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent)associated with the activity are included on the statement of net position.
The District distinguishes operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items.Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and the producingand delivering of goods in connection with the District's principal ongoing operations.

N) Implementation of New Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
In addition, this Statement details the recognition and disclosure requirements for employerswith liabilities to a defined benefit pension plan. The provisions of this Statement are effectivefor financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2014. The District is currentlyevaluating the revised Statement and has not yet determined the impact on its financialstatements.
O) Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In June 2011, GASB issued Statement No. 63, Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows ofResources, Deferred Inflows of Resources and Net Position. The Statement requires deferredoutflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources to be reported separately from assetsand liabilities.
The separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents aconsumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized asan outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until that time. Deferred outflows of resourcesare required to be presented separately after assets on the statement of net position. As a resultof GASB 65, Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities, the District’s deferred losson refunding, which resulted from the difference in the carrying value of the refunded debt andits reacquisition price, was reclassified from a liability to a deferred outflow. See Note 15 foradditional information.
The separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents anacquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as aninflow of resources (revenue) until that time. Deferred inflows of resources are required to bepresented separately after liabilities on the statement of net position. The District does nothave any type of these items as of June 30, 2014 and 2013.
P) Net Position
Net position represents the difference between assets and liabilities and is classified into threecomponents.
Net investment in capital assets, consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation,reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowings used for the acquisition, constructionor improvement of those assets. Net investment in capital assets excludes unspent debtproceeds.
Net position is reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use eitherthrough the enabling legislation adopted by the District or through external restrictionsimposed by creditors, grantors or laws or regulations of other governments.
Unrestricted net position consists of net position that does not meet the definition of“restricted” or “net investment in capital assets.”
It is the District's policy to first apply restricted resources when expenses are incurred forpurposes for which both restricted and unrestricted resources are available.

Q) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accountingprinciples requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reportedamounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and thereported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results coulddiffer from those estimates.
Note 2 - Cash and Investments
Investments are carried at fair value as determined by the external investment pool sponsor. On June 30, 2014 and 2013, the District had the following cash and investments on hand:

Total cash and investments 13,459,479$ 12,580,360$
Investments Authorized by the District’s Investment Policy
The District’s investment policy only authorizes investment in the local government investment pool administered by the State of California (LAIF). The District’s investment policy generally limits deposits to the previous FDIC determined limit of $100,000. This limitation does not apply to LAIF or amounts held with fiscal agents. The District’s investment policy does not contain any specific provisions intended to limit the District’s exposure to interest rate risk or credit risk. Investments in LAIF are not rated by a national rating agency.
Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the District manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations.

Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required by the California Government Code and the District’s investment policy, and the actual rating as of June 30, 2014 for each investment type.

Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of the District contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in any one issuer beyond that stipulated by the California Government Code. There are no investments in any one issuer that represent 5% or more of total District investments (other than investments guaranteed by the U.S. Government or investments in external investment pools).

Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The California Government Code and the District’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits, other than the following provisions for deposits: The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The fair value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure the District’s deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits.
None of the District’s deposits with financial institutions in excess of federal depository insurance limits were held in uncollateralized accounts.
The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code and the District’s investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for investments. With respect to investments, custodial credit risk generally applies only to direct investments in marketable securities. Custodial credit risk does not apply to a local government’s indirect investment in securities through the use of mutual funds or government investment pools (such as LAIF).
Investment in State Investment Pool
The District is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by the California Government Code under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The fair value of the District’s investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying basic financial statements at the amounts based upon the District’s pro-rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis.

In accordance with District’s refunding plan, $1,079,808 was deposited with an escrow agent to provide for payment when due (through July 2015) of all principal and interest with respect to the 2006A Refunded Certificates. The total payments made on the 2006A Refunded Certificates from escrow funds will be $1,000,000 in principal and $142,800 in interest. The refunding resulted in increased total debt service payments from $1,142,800 to $3,300,000, including only amounts related to the 2006A Refunded Certificates. This increased cash flow created an economic loss of approximately $133,052 when discounted at the 2010A COPs’ effective interest rate of 6.61769%. At June 30, 2014 there was $440,000 of defeased Series 2006A Refunded Certificates outstanding, to be paid from escrow funds.

Note 8 - Defined Benefit Pension Plan
The District contributes to the California Public Employee’s Retirement System (PERS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer public employee defined benefit pension plan. PERS provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and their beneficiaries. PERS acts as a common investment and administrative agent for participating public entities within the State of California. Benefit provisions and all other requirements are established by state statute and local ordinance. Copies of PERS' annual financial report may be obtained from its Executive Office, 400 P Street, Sacramento, CA 95814.
Funding Policy:
Participants are required to contribute 7% of their covered salary, excluding the first $133.33 per month since the employees are also covered by Social Security. The District makes a portion of the employee required contribution on their behalf based on hire date. The District is required to contribute at an actuarially determined rate: the rate was 19.537% of covered salaries for the year ended June 30, 2014.
The contribution requirements of plan members and the District are established and may be amended by PERS. The District’s contribution for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $299,870 and $320,802, respectively.

At the time of joining a risk pool, a side fund was created to account for the difference between the funded status of the pool and the funded status of the District’s plan. The District’s required contributions are increased by the amortization of this side fund. The District’s side fund as of the June 30, 2012 valuation was ($1,324,950) and the remaining amortization period was 11 years at a rate of 7.50%.
Note 9 - Post-Employment Health Care Benefits
Plan Description
The District provides retiree medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug coverage to current and future eligible retirees and their spouse. Under the Plan, retired employees who attain age 60 with at least 20 years of service are eligible to receive benefits. Spouses may be covered with certain limitations.

Note 9 - Post-Employment Health Care Benefits (Continued)
Funding Policy
The contribution requirements of plan members and the District are established and may be amended by the District and its board of directors. The required contribution is based on projected pay-as-you-go financing requirements.
The District pays 100% of the premium for pre-65 retirees, and contributes up to 5% of a retiree’s PERS benefit toward the cost of medical coverage for post-65 retirees.
Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation
The District’s annual OPEB cost (expense) is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal costs each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years. The following table shows the components of the District’s annual OPEB cost for the year ended June 30, 2014, the amount actually contributed to the plan, and the changes in the District’s net OPEB obligation for plan benefits:

Funded Status and Funding Progress
As of June 30, 2014, based on the last valuation performed the actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $525,049, all of which was unfunded. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was $1,557,756, and the ratio of the unfunded actuarial accrued liability to the covered payroll was 34%.
The projection of future benefit payments for an ongoing plan involves estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress is presented on the following page, and presents multi-year trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.
The following simplifying assumptions were made:

Note 10 - Deferred Compensation Plan
The District offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The plan permits participating employees to defer a portion of their salary until future years. The District matches employee contributions up to 2.5% of a contributing employee’s annual salary. The deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination, retirement, death or unforeseeable emergency.
On June 8, 1997 the District amended the plan in accordance with the provisions of IRC Section 457(g). On that date, assets of the plan were placed in trust for the exclusive benefit of participants and their beneficiaries. The requirements of that IRC Section prescribes that the District no longer owns the amounts deferred by employees, including the related income on those amounts. Accordingly, the assets and the liability for the compensation deferred by plan participants, including earnings on plan assets, are not included in the District’s financial statements. Contributions to the Plan for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $28,906 and $28,204 respectively.
Note 11 - Lease Obligations
The District has lease obligations for two of its well sites.
The High School Well lease, dated March 1, 1989 and amended April 23, 2008 is for a term of thirty years, terminating July 1, 2030. There are no lease payments associated with this lease. In return the District provides the School District with the Irrigation water rate for specific water accounts.

Note 11 - Lease Obligations (Continued)
During 2011, the District purchased a permanent easement from the City for the land that contains the El Carro Well. Prior to the purchase of the easement, the District had a lease with the City, dated November 16, 1990, for the useful life of the well. As “in-lieu of rent” for the first twenty year period, the District installed, at a cost of $40,085, water line and fire hydrant facilities to accommodate future development of the property adjoining the well site.
Note 12 - Cachuma Project Authority
This joint exercise of powers authority was created by the participating agencies for the purpose of renegotiating with the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) the contract for the operation of the Cachuma reservoir. Through the authority, the agencies collectively issued revenue bonds to refinance certain obligations each agency had incurred to finance its share of the expansion of the shared Water Treatment Plant. The District’s share of these revenue bonds is shown as a liability on the statement of net position.
The Cachuma Project Authority successfully renegotiated a contract with the USBR. The Authority, effective September 30, 1996 merged into the Cachuma Operations and Maintenance Board (COMB), which is responsible for all operational aspects of the Cachuma reservoir. All assets and liabilities of the Authority were transferred to COMB. The District continues to contribute its share of the operating expenses. The accumulated contract renegotiation costs are being amortized over the term of the new contract, which is twenty-five years.
Note 13 - Joint Powers Insurance Authority
The District participates in the property and liability program organized by the Association of California Water Agencies/Joint Powers Insurance Authority ("ACWA/JPIA"). ACWA/JPIA is a Joint Powers Authority created to provide a self-insurance program to water agencies in the State of California. The ACWA/JPIA is not a component unit of the District for financial reporting purposes, as explained below.
ACWA/JPIA provides liability, property and workers' compensation insurance for approximately 265 water agencies for losses in excess of the member districts' specified self-insurance retention levels. Individual claims (and aggregate public liability and property claims) in excess of specified levels are covered by excess insurance policies purchased from commercial carriers. ACWA/JPIA is governed by a separate board comprised of members from participating districts. The board controls the operations of ACWA/JPIA, including selection of management and approval of operating budgets, independent of any influence by the members beyond their representation on the board. Each member shares surpluses and deficiencies proportionately to its participation in ACWA/JPIA.
Based on financial information at September 30, 2013, ACWA/JPIA had total assets, liabilities and net position of $194,823,604, $100,307,836 and $94,515,768, respectively. The District paid premiums of $66,379 and $69,452 to ACWA/JPIA for property and liability insurance, and $59,021 and $25,189 for workers’ compensation during the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

A) Central Coast Water Authority
In 1991, the voters of the District elected to participate in the State Water Project (SWP). As aresult, the District joined in the formation of the Central Coast Water Authority (CCWA) inAugust 1991. The purpose of the Central Coast Water Authority is to provide for thefinancing, construction, operation, and maintenance of certain local (non-state owned)facilities required to deliver water from the SWP to certain water purveyors and users in SantaBarbara County.
Each project participant, including the District, has entered into a Water Supply Agreement toprovide for the development, financing, construction, operation and maintenance of theCCWA Project. The purpose of the Water Supply Agreement is to assist in carrying out thepurposes of CCWA with respect to the CCWA Project by:
1) requiring CCWA to sell, and the project participants to buy, a specified amount of waterfrom CCWA ("take or pay"); and
2) assigning the Santa Barbara project participant's entitlement rights in the State Waterproject to CCWA.
Although the District does have an ongoing financial interest pursuant to the Water Supply Agreement between the District and CCWA, the District does not have an equity interest as defined by GASB Code Sec. J50.105.
Each project participant is required to pay to CCWA an amount equal to its share of the total cost of "fixed project costs" and certain other costs in the proportion established in the Water Supply Agreement. This includes the project participant's share of payments to the State Department of Water Resources (DWR) under the State Water Supply Contract (including capital, operation, maintenance, power and replacement costs of the DWR facilities) debt service on CCWA bonds and all CCWA operating and administrative costs.
Each project participant is required to make payments under its Water Supply Agreement solely from the revenues of its water system. Each project participant has agreed in its Water Supply Agreement to fix, prescribe and collect rates and charges for its water system which will be at least sufficient to yield each fiscal year net revenues equal to 125% of the sum of (1) the payment required pursuant to the Water Supply Agreement, and (2) debt service on any existing participant obligation for which revenues are also pledged.
CCWA is composed of eight members, all of which are public agencies. CCWA was organized and exists under a joint exercise of power agreement among the various participating public agencies. The Board of Directors is made up of one representative from each participating entity. Votes on the Board are approximately apportioned between the entities based upon each entity’s allocation of State water entitlement. The Carpinteria Valley Water District share of the project, based upon number of acre-feet of water, is 10.487%.

Operating and capital expenses are allocated among the members based upon various formulasrecognizing the benefits of the various project components to each member.
On October 1, 1992, CCWA sold $177,120,000 in revenue bonds at a true interest cost of6.64% to enable CCWA to finance a portion of the costs of constructing a water treatmentplant to treat State water for use by various participating water purveyors and users withinSanta Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties, a transmission system to deliver such water tothe participating water purveyors and users within Santa Barbara County, and certain localimprovements to the water systems of some of the participating purveyors.
In November 1996, CCWA sold $198,015,000 of revenue bonds at a true interest cost of5.55% to defease CCWA’s $177,120,000 1992 revenue bonds and to pay certain costs ofissuing the bonds. The 1996 bonds were issued in two series: Series A of $173,015,000 andSeries B of $25,000,000. The Series B bonds are subject to mandatory redemption fromamounts transferred from the Construction Fund and the Reserve Fund upon completion of theconstruction of CCWA facilities.
In August 2006, CCWA issued the Series 2006A Refunding Revenue Bonds for $123,190,000at a true interest cost of 4.24% to defease the 1996 Revenue Bonds. A portion of the bondproceeds together with other funds were placed into an escrow account invested in securitieswhich will provide sufficient funds to pay the regularly scheduled principal of and interest onthe refunded bonds on October 1, 2006, and to pay on October 3, 2006 the principal of andaccrued interest to the date of redemption, and redemption premium, if any, on the refundedbonds maturing on and after October 1, 2006.

Bond Issuance Costs
Implementation of GASB Statement 65 recognizes cost of issuance as an expense therefore the adoption of this statement resulted in the write off of the bond issuance costs as of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. The effect of this adjustment was to decrease July 1, 2012 net position by $570,940, decrease bond issuance costs of $543,285 at June 30, 2013 and decrease amortization by $27,655 for the year ended June 30, 2013.
Deferred Loss on Refunding
Implementation of GASB Statement 65 recognizes the loss on refunding of debt as a deferred outflow of resources therefore the adoption of this statement resulted in a change to total assets and liabilities as of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. Total assets and total liabilities were increased by $484,681 and $515,124 as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively due to this reclassification.
