Independent Auditors' Report
Board of DirectorsEast Quincy Services DistrictQuincy, CA
We have audited the accompanying fmancial statements of the business-type activities and each major fund of the East Quincy Services District (District) as of and for the year ended June 30,2015, and the related notes to the fmancial statements, which collectively comprise the District'sbasic fmancial 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 includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of fmancial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment 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 District's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

530.258.2272 Fax: 530.258.2282
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, the respective financial position of the business-type activities and each major fund of East Quincy Services District as of June 30, 2015, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of a Matter
Change in Accounting Principle
As described in Note 1 to the fmancial statements, in 2015, the District adopted new accounting guidance, Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions, and GASB Statement No. 71, Pension Transition for contributions made Subsequent to the Measurement, an amendment of GASB Statement No. 68. 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 and budgetary comparison information identified in the table of contents be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a basic part of the 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 Americwhich 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 audit 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.

·------ ·····-----
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated September 11, 2015, on our consideration of the District's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the District's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

EAST QUINCY SERVICES DISTRICT Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A)
June 30, 2015
INTRODUCTION
East Quincy Services District's present operations include providing water and sewer services to residents of the District.
Our discussion and analysis of East Quincy Services District's (District) financial performance provides an overview of the District's fmancial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. It should be read in conjunction with the District's financial statements, including notes and supplementary information, which follow this section.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
o The net position was $7,486,309 at June 30, 2015. This was a decrease of $239,628 from the prior year, with $189,118 of the decrease attributed to a prior period adjustment from the implementation of GASB 68, which recognizes net pension liability for the first time. More details are provided in the discussion under pension liabilities.
o Overall revenues were $1,524,946, which were less than expenses of$1,575,456 by $50,510.
o The total cost of the District's programs increased by $52,988 from last year.
o Debt has increased by $157,549 from the implementation of GASB 68.
OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This armual report consists of three parts - management's discussion and analysis (this section), the basic financial statements, and required supplementary information. The three sections together provide a comprehensive overview of the District. The basic financial statements are comprised of two kinds of statements that present financial information from different perspectives:
o Goverrnnent-wide fmancial statements, which comprise the first two statements, provide both short-term and long-term information about the entity's overall financial position.
o Fund financial statements focus on reporting the individual parts of the District operations in more detail. The fund financial statements comprise the remaining statements.
• Proprietary funds statements provide information about the short and long-term financial information of the district that operate like businesses.
The financial statements also include notes that explain some of the information in the statements and provide more detailed data. The basic fmancial statements are followed by a section of required supplementary information that further explains and supports the financial statements. A comparison of the district's budget for the year is included.
-4-
Government-Wide Statements
The government-wide statements report information about the District as a whole using accounting methods similar to those used by private-sector companies. The statement of net position includes all of the government's assets and liabilities. All of the current year's revenues and expenses are accounted for in the statement of activities regardless of when cash is received or paid.
The two government-wide statements report the District's net assets and how they have changed. Net assets, the difference between the assets and liabilities, are one way to measure the District's financial health or position.
o Over time, increases or decreases in the District's net assets are an indicator of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating, respectively.
o To assess the overall health of the District, one needs to consider additional nonfinancial factors such as changes in the property tax base, changes in program funding by the Federal and State governments, and condition of facilities.
The government-wide financial statements of the District include business-type activities. Most of the District's basic services are included here, such as water and sewer. Customer payments finance most of these activities.
Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements provide more detailed information about the District's most significant funds-not the District as a whole. Funds are accounting devises that the District uses to keep track of specific sources of funding and spending for particular programs. Some funds are required to be established by state law and by bond covenants. The Board of Directors establishes other funds to control and manage money for particular purposes or to show that the District is meeting legal responsibilities for using certain revenues. The District has one kind of fund:
Proprietary Funds - Services for which the District charges a fee are generally reported in proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are reported in the same way as the district-wide financial statements.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE ENTITY AS A WHOLE
Net Position
The District's combined net position was $7,486,309 at June 30, 2015. See Table 1.The significant changes in Table 1line items for fiscal2015 vs 2014 are:
• Increase in cash due to rate increases.• The implementation of GASB 68 in fiscal year 2015 resulted in the recognition of the $173,192
Pension Liability, the $189,188 prior period adjustment, and the recognition of $39,892 of deferred inflows and $49,319 of deferred outflows.

PENSION LIABILITIES, CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE AND PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS:
The District implemented GASB Statement No. 68 for the year ended June 30, 2015. The Statement requires numerous new pension disclosures in the notes to the financial statements and two new schedules as required supplementary information. Also, for the first time, the District is required to recognize pension expense, report deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions and a net pension liability for its proportionate shares of the collective pension expense, collective deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions and collective net pension liability. More detailed information about the Districts pension plans and related expenses and liabilities is presented in the notes to the financial statements. The reporting of these new amounts on the financial statements, resulted in a prior period adjustment that decreased the net position by $189,118.

EAST QUINCY SERVICES DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2015
NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The District provides water and sewer services to approximately 960 residential and commercial customers within the boundaries of the District.
East Quincy Services District (District) accounts for its financial transactions in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
1. Reporting Entity
The District's combined financial statements include the accounts of all its operations. The District evaluated whether any other entity should be included in these financial statements. The criteria for including organizations as component units within the District's reporting entity, as set forth in GASB Statement No. 14 "The Financial Reporting Entity" and GASB Statement No.39 "Determining Whether Certain Organizations Are Component Units," include whether:
The organization is legally separate (can sue and be sued in its name) The District holds the corporate powers of the organizationThe District appoints a voting majority of the organization's boardThe District is able to impose its will on the organizationThe organization has the potential to impose a financial benefit/burden on the DistrictThere is fiscal dependency by the organization on the DistrictThe economic resources received or held by the separate organization are entirely oralmost entirely for the direct benefit of the primary governmentThe primary government is entitled to, or has the ability to otherwise access, a majority ofthe economic resources received or held by the separate organizationThe economic resources received or held by an individual organization that the specific primary government is entitled to, or has the ability to otherwise access, are significant to that primary government
Based on these criteria, the District has no component units. Additionally, the District is not a component unit of any other reporting entity as defined by the GASB Statement.
2. Basis of Presentation, Basis of Accounting
a. Basis of Presentation
Government-wide Statements: The statement of net position and the statement of activitiesinclude the fmancial activities of the overall government, except for fiduciary activities.
- 16-
EAST QUINCY SERVICES DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2015
Eliminations have been made to minimize the double-counting of internal activities. Business-type activities are financed in whole or in part by fees charged to external parties.
The statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for the different business-type activities of the District. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. The District does not allocate indirect expenses in the statement of activities. Program revenues include (a) fees, fines, and charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by the programs and (b) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues.
Fund Financial Statements: The fund financial statements provide information about the District's funds, with separate statements presented for each fund category. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major enterprise funds, each displayed in a separate colunm.
Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions associated with the principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values. Nonoperating revenues, such as subsidies and investment earnings, result from nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities.
The District reports the following major Enterprise Funds:
The Water Fund accounts for water revenue, expenses, and net position. The Sewer Fund accounts for sewer revenue, expenses, and net position.
b. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting
Proprietary Fund Financial Statements: These fmancial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus. They are reported using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place. Nonexchange transactions, in which the District gives (or receives) value without directly receiving (or giving) equal value in exchange, include property taxes, grants, entitlements, and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenue from grants, entitlements, and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.
When the District incurs an expense for which both restricted and unrestricted resources may be used, it is the District's policy to use restricted resources fust, then unrestricted resources.

EAST QUINCY SERVICES DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2015
Under GASB Statement No. 20, "Accounting and Financial Reporting for Proprietary Funds and Other Govermnental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting," all proprietary funds will continue to follow Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") standards issued on or before November 30, 1989. However, from tbat date forward, proprietary funds will have the option of either 1) choosing not to apply future FASB standards (including amendments of earlier pronouncements), or 2) continuing to follow new FASB pronouncements unless they conflict with GASB guidance. The District has chosen not to apply future FASB standards.
3. Assets, Liabilities, and Eguity
a. Cash, Cash Eguivalents and Concentrations of Risk
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, highly liquid investments, including restricted funds, are considered to be cash equivalents if they have a maturity of three months or less when purchased. The District considers cash, investments in the Local Agency Investment Fund, and reserved cash to be cash equivalents.
Cash balances held in banks are insured to $250,000 by the Federal Depository InsuranceCorporation.
The District is authorized to deposit cash and invest excess funds by California Govermnent Code Section 53648 et seq. The funds maintained by the District are either secured by federal depository insurance or are collateralized.
b .. Capital Assets
Property, Plant and Equipment owned by the Enterprise Fund is stated at cost. Donated fixed assets are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of the donation. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets' lives are not capitalized. A capitalization threshold of $5,000 is nsed. Capital assets are being depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Asset Class BuildingsOffice EquipmentMeters and Maint. EquipmentUtility Plant and Infrastructure
Estimated Useful Lives
333-75-2015-50
Gain or loss is recognized when assets are retired from service or are otherwise disposed.

EAST QUINCY SERVICES DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2015
c. Property Tax
Secured property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property as of January I. Taxes are payable in two installments on December 10 and April 10. Unsecured property taxes are payable in one installment on or before August 31. The County of Plumas bills and collects the taxes for the District. The District recognizes tax revenues when apportioned by the County.
d. Receivable and Payable Balances
The District believes that sufficient detail of receivable and payable balances is provided in the financial statements to avoid the obscuring of significant components by aggregation. Therefore, no disclosure is provided which disaggregates those balances.
There are no significant receivables which are not scheduled for collection within one year of yearend.
e. Deferred Inflows and Deferred Outflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expenses/expenditure) until then. Currently, the District has only one item that qualifies for reporting in this category, deferred amounts from District pension contributions.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The District has only one type of item that qualifies for reporting in this category, deferred recognition of pension plan earnings.
f. Compensated Absences
Accumulated unpaid employee vacation leave benefits are recognized as liabilities of the District. The current portion of the liabilities is recognized in the Water Fund and Sewer Fund at year end.

Designated for System Facilities $ 911,237Designated for Vehicles 44,704Other Umestricted Net Position 554,100
Total Umestricted Net Position $ 1,510,041
The System Facility Reserves are for futme replacement of the water and sewer systems. The Vehicle Fund Reserve is for futme replacement of district vehicles. Additionally, the water fund has a Reserve to track refundable customer utility deposits.
h. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of management's estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
i. Components of Net Position
For Government-Wide Financial Statements, equity is classified in three components as follows:
Net Investment in Capital Assets consists of capital assets including restricted capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by the outstanding balances of debt borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets.
Restricted Net Position consists of net assets with restrictions placed on their use either by external groups such as contributors, grantors or regulations of other governments, or law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Umestricted Net Position consists of all other net assets that do not meet the definition of"restricted" or "net investment in capital assets."
When both restricted and umestricted resources are available for use, it is the District's policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
j . Change in Accounting Principles

The Statement requires munerous new pension disclosures in the notes to the financial statement and two new 10-year schedules as required supplementary information.

NOTE 7- RISK MANAGEMENT AND LITIGATION
The District is exposed to various risks of losses related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees and customers; and natural disasters. The District has managed these risks by obtaining coverage from commercial insurance companies as well as providing employee education and prevention programs. All risk management activities are accounted for in the Water Fund and Sewer Fund. Expenses and claims are recognized when it is probable that a loss has occurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In determining claims, events that might create claims, bnt for which none have been reported are considered.
The District's attorney estimates that the amount of aetna! or potential claims against the District as of June 30, 2015 will not materially affect the financial condition of the District. Therefore, the funds contain no provision for estimated claims. Information relating to an analysis of claims activities for the year was not available.
NOTE 8- FORMATION OF AMERICAN VALLEY COMMUNITY SERVICE AUTHORITY
In October 1995, The East Quincy Services District formed a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) with the Quincy Community Services District to more effectively serve the residents of Quincy, California.

NOTE 10- PENSION PLAN
Plan Description
The District, as the employer, participates in the cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan administered by the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS). The plan provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members, and beneficiaries. A full description of the pension plan benefit provisions, and assumptions for funding purposes can be obtained in Appendix B of the June 30,2013 CalPERS actuarial evaluation report available at https://www.calpers.ca.gov/page/formspublications.
Contributions

Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30. 2014, using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all prior periods included in the measurement:
Discount Rate: Inflation:Salary Increases: Investment Rate of Return:
Mortality Rate Table: Post Retirement Benefit
7.50%2.75%Varies by Entry Age and Service7.50% net of Pension Plan Investment and AdministrativeExpensesDerived using CalPERS Membership Data for all Funds
Increase Contract COLA up to 2.75% until Purchasing Power Protection AllowanceFloor on Purchasing Power applies, 2.75% thereafter
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. The table below reflects long-term expected real rates of return by asset class. The rate of return was calculated using the capital marked assumptions applied to determine the discount rate and asset allocation. These geometric rates of return are net of administrative expenses.

EAST QUINCY SERVICES DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2015
CalPERS stress tested plans that would most likely result in a discount rate that would be different from the actuarially assumed discount rate. Based on the testing, none of the tested plans run out of assets. Therefore, the current 7.50% discount rate is adequate and the use of the municipal bond rate calculation is not necessary. The long term expected discount rate of 7.50% is applied to all plans in the Public Employees Retirement Fund. The stress test results are presented in a detailed report called "GASB Crossover Testing Report" that can be obtained at the CalPERS' website under the GASB 68 section.
Sensitivity of the Net Pension Liability to Changes in the Discount Rate
The following presents the net pension liability/(asset) of the Plan as of the measurement date using the discount rate of 7.50%, as well as what the net pension liability/(asset) would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1 percentage-point lower (6.50%) or 1 percentage point higher (8.50%) than the current rate:

Discount Rate - 1% (6.50%)

Detailed information about the pension plan's fiduciary net position is available in the separately issued financial report of CalPERS which can be located at https:ljwww.calpers.ca.gov/page/forms-pub\ications.
NOTEll-OTHERPOSTEMPLOYMENTBENETITS
In the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010, the District implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 45 Accounting and Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other than Pensions, for certain postemployment health care and life insurance benefits provided by the District. The requirements of this Statement were implemented prospectively, and accordingly, for financial reporting purposes, no liability is reported for the postemployment health care and life insurance benefits liability at the date of transition. The recognition of the liability accumulated from prior years will be phased in over 30 years.
Plan Description and Eligibility Requirements
The District provides certain postretirement healthcare benefits, as established by board policy, to eligible employees who retire from the District based on standards determined by PERS.
The District pays health insurance premiums on behalf of pre-Medicare retirees at a rate of 45%of the cost.
-28-
EAST QUINCY SERVICES DISTRICT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2015
All contracts with District employees will be renegotiated periodically in the future, thus costs and benefits are subject to change. Benefits and contribution requirements for the OPEB plan are established by various labor agreements.
For the District, OPEB benefits are administered by District personnel. No separate financial statements are issued.
Funding Policy
The District currently pays for post employment healthcare benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis. Due to the requirements of GASB No. 45, assets intended to fund future obligations are not considered to offset the unfunded benefit obligation until the assets are transferred to an irrevocable trust designed to pay for future OPEB obligations.
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 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. Significant actuarial methods and assumptions are as follows:
Plan TypeActuarial Valuation DateAlternative Measurement MethodAmortization MethodRemaining Amortization PeriodActuarial Assumptions:
Investment Rate of Return Projected Salary Increases Healthcare Inflation Rate
Single Employer07/1/12Projected UnitLevel Dollar25 Years
4.0%5.0%5.7%
The District has elected to calculate information of an actuarial nature using the alternative measurement method permitted by GASB Statement No. 43 for single-employer plans with fewer than one hundred employees.
Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligations
The following table shows the District's annual OPEB cost for the year, the amount actually contributed to the plan, and changes in the District's net OPEB obligation:

Funding Status and Funding Progress
The required schedule of funding progress presents multi-year trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits.
The funded status of the plan as of June 30,2015 is as follows:

Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events in the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment and termination, mortality, and healthcare cost trends. 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED
ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Board of DirectorsEast Quincy Services DistrictQuincy, CA
Members of the Board of Directors:
We have audited, in accordance with the 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, the financial statements of the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of East Quincy Services District as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District's basic financial statements and have issued om report thereon dated September 11, 2015.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planuing and performing om audit of the fmancial statements, we considered the District's internal control over fmancial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedmes that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing om opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District's internal controL Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the District's internal controL
Our consideration of the internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses, or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. However, as described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs, we identified certain deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses and significant deficiencies.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal comse of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the District's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. We consider the deficiencies described in

the accompanying schedule offmclings and questioned costs listed as items 2015-1 and 2015-2to be material weaknesses.
A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. We consider the deficiencies described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as items 2015-1 to 2015-3 to be significant deficiencies.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether District's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, provicling an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
District's Response to Findings
The District's response to the fmdings identified in our audit is described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. The District's response was not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accorclingly, we express no opinion on it.
Purpose of the Report
This purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the District's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the District's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

2015
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
East Quincy Services District provides water and sewer services to residential and commercial customers within the boundaries of the District. The quality of the District's internal controls is highly dependent upon involvement io the day to day operations by the District Board Members. Also, due to the limited number of employees of the District, there is an inability to segregate the custody of and accountability for District assets in the manner generally required for model systems of internal accounting controls. A summary of the auditors' results follows:
1. Type of Auditors' Report on Financial Statements: Unmodified2. Internal Control Findings: 3 Significant Deficiencies, 2 beiog Material Weaknesses.3. Material Noncompliance Noted: None.

Finding 2015-1 Lack of Segregation of Duties
Criteria Upon Which Audit Finding is Based (Legal Citation)Internal Control Standards.
Finding (Condition)An inadequate segregation of duties exists.
Amount of Questioned Cost, How Computed and PrevalenceNone.
EffectThe District has exposure to risk of fmancial statement misstatement and the potentialrisk of errors or fraud.
CauseDue to the District only having a few personnel assigned to duties that involve access tothe general ledger and other accounting records and who also have custody of andresponsibility for handling cash and other assets, an inadequate segregation of duties exists.
RecommendationWe reco=end that the District employees and Board examine all activities of theDistrict carefully to help decrease the risks of any individual being in a position to both perpetrate and conceal errors or fraud.
District's ResponseDue to the number of employees of the District, it is not possible for the District to costeffectively mitigate this finding. The District cannot, with its current budget hire anadequate number of employees to insure that custody of assets and accountability for assets is separated.
The District does, however, believe that being aware of this weakness will insure that existing employees and Board members will maintain diligence to potential risks of not having an adequate segregation of duties.

EffectThere is a risk that a material financial statement misstatement may exist and not beprevented or detected by the District's system of internal control.
CauseThis condition has always existed at the District, and is being reported in accordance withStatement on Auditing Standards No. 122 (SAS 122).
RecommendationWe recommend that the District consider the cost benefit of hiring an accountant familiar with GAAP or contracting with an independent CPA firm to compile financial statementsin conformity with GAAP.

EQSD-QCSD Bi-District Rate Setting CommitteeProgress Report #3 1/22/16 {FINAL 2/1}
The Bi-District Rate-Setting Committee for wastewater treatment met for 2.5 hours on · Friday, January 22, 2016 in the QCSD Conference Room to continue its discussion around the financial reserves necessary to sustain the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) serving American Valley.
The agenda included additional review of our work in advance of the Prop. 218 schedule, a review of the first six months of booked operating expenses for FY2015-16, a report on two upcoming capital projects, and the bi-district application for a state WWTP planning grant.
The Committee verified that Prop. 218 notices and protest hearings are required by that 1996 law amending the California constitution when there are new categories
of fees or charges, and increases in service fees within existing categories.
Further review of the California p gl?l_ _ _Districts Association's Proposition 218Guide for Special Districts shows that mailed notifications and a schedule for a protest hearing on rates and/or fees is necessary by either QCSD or EQSD (only when) their billed fees to customers will contain a future fee increase for water supply, wastewater collection, or wastewater treatment.
A continued review of the FY15/16 WWTP operating budget versus its booked expenses for the six months to date revealed that they (thus far) tracked well compared to the audited expenditures from FY14/15. There is no way to compress the period for review of a fiscal year's expenses in advance of the starting point for the following fiscal year.
This is why the Committee confirmed inDecember, 2015 that booked expensesafter six mo11_tos of WWTP operat ions would become our standard for projecting operating expenses for the following fiscal year (and thus any necessary rateincreases for that following year). This approach was deemed necessary due to both board's approval schedule for their individual budgets and potential Prop. 218 notifications and protest proceedings that must precede the July 1st activation date for any new rates.
Pace Engineering will present its WWTP feasibility study to the AVCSA meeting scheduled for February 23rd. This report will identify the pathways to comply with state requirements for a discharge permit whose notifications to QCSD will be tardy by almost a year as of that meeting. The final state requirements should be known
by June 2016, and Pace has a proximate idea of what the critical discharge limits are likely to be.------- -- - -------- --- ---- ·-
The options for the WWTP's retrofitting or new construction will be presented in thereport. As covered previously in Progress Report #1, final construction and commissioning of the updated plant is expected in December 2020. Some subjective benefits? Wastewater discharge to irrigation, groundwater, and the North Fork of the Feather River willbecome cleaner than it has ever been sinceAmerican Valley's population expanded toward its current total.
The day after the AVCSA meeting, state water regulators from Redding and Sacramento Offices will join us for a tour of the WWTP. Hopefully, they will take away an understanding of the fiscal challenge of only 2,787 dwelling unit equivalents
supporting technical and expensive WWTPtechnology.
Larry rep_()rt dthat the gorps of Engineer§ _is slowing progress on the boulder vein project with requests for information that are unclear. Larry will re-engage, and hopefully this will not result in anypostponement of construction next season.
There is nothing new on the planning grant for WWTP improvement, other than there having been an interest in the bi-district's median household income statistic by the agencies completing our application packet.
The next meeting of the committee will be on Friday 2/19/16.

SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOlATION FOR FAILURE TO MEET SMALL WATER SUPPLIER WATER CONSERVATION REQUIREMENTS
On May 5, 2015, the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) adopted Resolution 2015-0032, anEmergency Regulation for Statewide Urban Water Conservation (Emergency Regulation) pursuant to Water Code section1058.5. The Emergency Regulation became effective on May 18, 2015. Among other things, the Emergency Regulation is designed to achieve the 25 percent statewide potable water usage reduction through February 2016 ordered by Governor Brown in his April 1, 2015 executive order.
Section 865 (f)(1) of the Emergency Regulation requires that each public water supplier that supplies less than 3,000 customers, or supplies less than 3,000 acre feet annually to take one or both of the following actions:
(A) Limit outdoor irrigation of ornamental landscapes or turf with potable water by the persons it serves to no more than two days per week; or(B) Reduce by 25 percent its total potable water production relative to the amount produced in 2013.
Water Code section 1846(a)(2), provides that any person or entity that violates a regulation adopted by the State WaterBoard may be liable for up to five hundred dollars ($500) for each day the violation occurs.
We have reviewed your submitted small water supplier report and have determined that you have not met the requirements of the Emergency Regulation specified in Section 865(f)(1)(A) and/or (B). The Notice of Violation is an informal enforcement action intended to bring your attention to the violation and to give you an opportunity to return to compliance as soon as possible. The State Water Board requires that you comply with the Emergency Regulation. Failure

MEMORANDUM
August 29, 2015
To: Larry Sullivan, General Manager, Quincy Community Services District, 900Spanish Creek Road, Quincy, CA. ph. 530-283-0836
From: Burkhard Bohm, Hydrogeologist, 530-836-2208
Regarding: American Valley groundwater information.
As requested, available groundwater information for American Valley has been surveyed. Since its inception in the early 1990's the QCSD has taken it upon itself to upgrade an aged water supply and waste water treatment infrastructure, whereas groundwater resource development and planning remained limited to a wellhead protection demonstration project report in the late 1990's and a number of well drilling and testing reports. However, no comprehensive groundwater monitoring program and resource management plan has ever been developed.
Introduction
This memorandum is intended to provide an overview of available pertinent groundwater data in American Valley, data that become the basis for developing a Groundwater Management Plan (GWMP) for American Valley. The GWMP should eventually meet the specifications of the groundwater management guidelines recently adopted by the State of California. The purpose of the GWMP is to serve as a tool for rational long termaquifer management and development. The objectives are to minimize well interference, to prevent ground water quality degradation, to protect recharge areas from excessive development, and to establish avenues whereby local stakeholders' concerns can be met.
Overview- Historic Background
The queries how to resolve the increasingly pressing need to expand groundwater resources in AV began as far back as 1994. In October of that year a study was conducted to evaluate the possibilities and the weaknesses in the existing groundwater supply system of the Quincy Community Services District (see report, PGH, 1994}. The
American Valley groundwater information, August 2015 Page 1 of6
report constituted a review of then perceived available municipal water well drilling alternatives for the QCSD in western American Valley. It was mostly based on hydrogeologic analysis, i.e. with emphasis on:
1. water availability (pumping rate, productivity);2. water quality problems related to iron and manganese;3. existing and potential future contamination potential.
The final analysis included a qualitative discussion of economic feasibility, like pipeline costs, time required to develop the new source, and site accessibility. Given the urgency of locating new water supply sources for the QCSD, it was proposed that there was little choice but to accept initial high drilling costs, just to overcome the current impasse. For further information about the situation the reader is referred to the detailed study by Files Engineering in 1989 (Files, 1989), in particular the economic analysis (Appendix I) and water use projections (page 10) of that report.
Eventually, in order to streamline the decision-making process a rating system was developed. This rating system has undergone several iterations and has helped to keep the discussion about groundwater resource development more understandable for District Management, the District Board members and the general public.
The original rating system developed up to 2008 was based on:
1. Site access.2. Delivery system (length of pipeline needed)3. Productivity expected4. Likelihood of contamination5. Vulnerability to contamination6. Ambient groundwater quality
At that time a selection of 23 alternative drill sites were identified and rated. Specific test drilling methods (and subsequent well testing) was recommended to facilitate subsurface data collection.
Meanwhile the problem became more pressing due to several new developments, some of which seemed predictable after completion of the Wellhead Protection Report (PGH,1998). This included well deterioration and casing collapse in aged wells and MTBE contamination due to poor choice of well location (and/or industrial sites). Additionally new sources of poor water quality posed constraints on selection of new well sites (PGH,2003). Other issues pertain to gradual groundwater quality changes associated withurban sprawl in American Valley (PGH, 1998).
In other words, although American Valley is blessed with abundant groundwater resources, it appears as if development and management of this resource increasingly becomes like a "moving target", given the changes in land development and possibly changing environmental (climatic) conditions.
American Valley groundwater information, August 2015 Page 2 of6
It is also becoming increasingly clear that under such conditions it becomes increasingly difficult to manage and protect a resource without a comprehensive groundwater management plan (GWMP). Recommendations to develop a GWMP were made as far back as 2003, in part as a valuable tool and in part as a means to help the District qualify for outside funding.
Data and Other Information
A host of data and technical reports addressing groundwater issues (and hydrologic issues in general) have accumulated since the QCSD came into existence in the early1990's:
A. A listing of more than 25 pertinent reports and other documents is given below.
B. The Districts are required to collect certain groundwater quality data on a regularbasis. These data are stored in a database at the offices of the State DHS. We have requested a "data dump" for both East and West Quincy. Such data have proven invaluable to identify groundwater quality trends (see for example PGH (1998) and PGH (2005)). Unfortunately the data are provided in a very impractical format, i.e. more than 170 pages of printouts in MS Word files.
C. Additional water quality data are contained in some of the technical reports (PGH1998, 2003, 2005, and others).
D. Pumping test data analysis and interpretation for at least five test wells. The data are not included in the technical reports (PGH 2003, 2005), and need to be retrieved from our project filing archives.
E. Other information includes geophysical survey results and geologic drilling logs(PGH 2003, 2005).
F. We did not research the availability of data in the "coffers" of the District offices.
To our knowledge, up to now neither QCSD nor EQSD have engaged in systematic and consistent groundwater data collection and database development, probably mostly because both Districts remained preoccupied with resolving more immediate day-to-day issues to keep "the water flowing", while upgrading an aging water and wastewater infrastructure. The absence of a well water level and monthly (weekly) pumping volume database can become an obstacle in future groundwater management schemes.
Recommendations
In the past, when applying for funding from the State, entities with some sort of ground water management plan (GWMP) in place were given funding preference. It is thus strongly recommended to start working on implementing a GWMP as soon as possible, preferably under the umbrella of the AV Joint Powers Agreement (JPA). More so, a GWMP should be more than just a formality, not knowing the course of further urban
American Valley groundwater information, August 2015 Page 3 of6
sprawl in American Valley, especially given the ongoing difficulties in securing good well sites, and potential problems with industrial contamination in both parts of Quincy.
Probably the GWMP needs to be integrated into the County General Plan, and initially may not have to be very comprehensive, thereby remaining a "living document", a document that serves as a strategy towards long term groundwater development in AV. It should change as the strategy is implemented and the aquifer system is further developed (like in adaptive management).
