financial statements is not a "Project" as defmed under Section 15378 of the State CEQA
Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change to the environment; therefore, pursuant to
Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the actions proposed are not subject to CEQA.
RECOMMENDA nON
Council and Agency accept the fiscal year 2008-2009 Financial Statements.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDA nON

,DISCUSSION
I

records by an independent accowlting fum. The reports are included as attachments. TIle fil11l of
,
Caporieci & Larson has examined the general purpose financial statements of the City of Chula
,
jlista, the Redevelopment Agency and the Public Financing Authority and has issued their opinion
',that those statements "present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the City as of
June 30,2009 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended in confol11lity
. with generally accepted accounting principles",
December-IS, 2009, Item If{
Page 2 of2
The audit did not result in any material adjustments to previously reported year-end figures for the
General Fund. The General Fund available fund balance was verified to be $9.3 million as of June
30, 2009. The $9.3 million available fund balance is unchanged from the amount reported for the
prior year ending balance. This reserve level represents 6.7 percent of the operating budget as
compared to the Council policy minimwn target level of 8 percent (the policy in effect for that date).
()
In order to fonn a basis for their opinion, Caporicci & Larson, evaluated the internal control
procedures ofthe City and found no reportable conditions.
This was Caporicci & Larson's first year serving as the City's auditors. The audit firnl was very
professional and efficient in their work, and provided fresh insight and ideas that were incorporated
into the City's Consolidated Armual Financial Report (CAFR).

or clerical in nature and does not require the City Council members to make or participate in

Consequently, this item does not present a conflict under the Political Refonn Act (Cal. Gov't
Code {I 871 00, et seq.).

CllY OF
CHULA VISTA
Finance Department
November 30, 2009
To the Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council
And Citizens of the City of Chula Vista, California
The Annual Financial Report (the Report) of the City of Chula Vista for the fiscal year ended June
30,2009 is hereby submitted in accordance with City Charter section 1017 and section 25253 of
the Government Code of the State of California.
Purpose and Management Responsibility. This report consists of management's representations
concerning the finances of the City of Chula Vista (City). Consequently, management assumes full
responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the information presented in this report.
To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the City has
established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the
government's assets from loss, theft or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the
preparation of the City's financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP).
Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City's comprehensive
framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute
assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As management,
we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable
in all material respects.
Audited Financial Statements. The City's financial statements have been audited by Caporicci
and Larson, a firm of licensed certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit was
to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the City for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2009, are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing
the overall accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for
rendering an unqualified opinion ("clean") that the City's financial statements for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2009, are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditors'
report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report. The
professionalism and knowledge exhibited by Caporicci and Larson during their audit work is greatly
appreciated.

Organization. This report is presented in three sections: introductory, financial and statistical.
1. The Introductory section includes this transmittal memorandum and other information to
familiarize the reader with the City: a directory of officials and the City's organization chart.
2. The Financial section consists of five parts: the independent auditors' report; management's
discussion and analysis; the basic financial statements; required supplementary information;
non-major governmental funds and agency funds.
3. Lastly, the Statistical section includes selected financial and demographic information, generally
presented on a multi-year basis.
Transmittal Memorandum. GAAP require that management provide a narrative introduction,
overview and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management's
Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). As noted above, the MD&A appears in the Financial Section.
This letter of transmittal is designed to complement MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it.
Single Audit for Federal Grant Programs
The independent audit of the financial statements of the City was part of a broader, federally
mandated "Single Audit" designed to meet the special needs of federal grantor agencies. The
standards governing Single Audit engagements require the independent auditor to report not only
on the fair presentation of the financial statements, but also on the audited government's internal
controls and compliance with legal requirements, with special emphasis on internal controls and
legal requirements involving the administration offederal awards. This separately prepared report
is available from the Finance Department upon request.
GOVERNMENT
Chula Vista was incorporated in 1911, and functions under a City Charter with a Council/Manager
form of government. The City is governed by a four member Council and a Mayor, who serve four
year overlapping terms, and are elected on a citywide basis. The City Council appoints the City
Manager, City Attorney and City Clerk. Municipal services provided include police, fire, parks,
recreation, libraries, planning & building, housing programs, street and drainage construction &
maintenance, sewer services, etc.
THE REPORTING ENTITY
(Activities included in the Report)
The Report includes all activities carried out by the City as a legal entity, and also includes the
activities of certain other entities for which the City Council is financially accountable as determined
under the guidelines of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. Although legally separate
entities, these so called "component units" are under the City's umbrella of accountability, and
therefore, their financial position and results of operations are reflected in the Report.
The component units included in the Report are:
The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula Vista
The Chula Vista Industrial Development Authority
The Chula Vista Public Financing Authority
vi
ACCOUNTING SYSTEMS AND BUDGETARY CONTROL
The basic financial statements are presented on an "economic resources" measurement focus and
the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all of the City's assets and liabilities, including capital
assets as well as infrastructure assets and long-term liabilities, are included in the accompanying
Statement of Net Assets. The Statement of Activities presents changes in net assets.
Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are
earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. All
governmental funds are accounted for on a spending or "current financial resources" measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, only current assets and current
liabilities are included on the balance sheet. The Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and
Changes in Fund Balances present increases (revenue and other financing sources) and decreases
(expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. Under the modified accrual basis of
accounting, revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become both
measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period.
In administering the City's accounting systems, primary consideration is given to the adequacy of
internal accounting controls, which include an array of administrative procedures. These controls
are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding the safeguarding of
assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, as well as the reliability of financial
records for accurate and fair presentation of financial reports. The concept of reasonable
assurance recognizes that the cost of specific controls should not exceed the benefits likely to be
derived from exercising the controls, and that this evaluation necessarily involves estimates and
judgments by management. l!'is believed that the City's internal accounting controls adequately
safeguard City assets' and provide reasonable assurance of proper recording of financial
transactions.
The City Charter assigns the Director of Finance with the responsibility to supervise and be
responsible for the disbursement of all monies and have control over all expenditures to ensure that
budget appropriations are not exceeded. The level of budgetary control, that is, the level at which
expenditures are not to exceed Council approved appropriations, is established by department at
the category level. An encumbrance (commitment) accounting system is utilized as a technique to
enhance budgetary control during the year. Appropriations encumbered (committed) at year end
are carried forward if authorized and are available to be used for those commitments during the
subsequent year while unspent, unencumbered appropriations lapse at year end and become
generally available for re-appropriation the following year.
The City Council adopts the formal budget before the beginning of each fiscal year and may amend
it throughout the year as necessary. Expenditures may not exceed budgeted figures at the
category level (Personnel, Supplies and Services, Other Expenses, Capital) by department.
Financial status reports summarizing the year to date General Fund revenues and expenditures are
presented to the City Council on a quarterly basis.
vii
LOCAL ECONOMY AND PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE
The City of Chula Vista, incorporated in 1911, is a city of great diversity, both geographically and
demographically. It is a community of many choices and opportunities. The City of Chula Vista is
iocated eight miies south of the City of San Diego and seven miles north of the Mexico border.
Chula Vista's city limits cover approximately 50 square miles, which spans from the beautiful
shoreline of San Diego Bay to the breathtaking mountain views in the eastern section of the city.
Chula Vista residents enjoy all the benefits of a major city along with small town friendliness,
affordable housing and near perfect weather. The most recent data available from the San Diego
Association of Governments (SANDAG) estimates that the median income in Chula Vista is
$74,881.
The City of Chula Vista, with a population of approximately 233,108, is the second largest
community in San Diego County. SANDAG projects that the City of Chula Vista will reach a
population of approximately 316,445 by the year 2030. According to the California State
Department of Finance (DO F), the City is ranked number 62 in percentage population change in the
state for the calendar years 2000 to 2009. The City's population grew from 173,543 to 233,108
during that period adding almost 60,000 new residents for a 34.3 percent change. However that
rapid rate of growth slowed due to the collapse of the housing market. The DOF reports that from
2008 to 2009 the City added just 1,803 new residents reflecting a 1.2 percent rate of growth.
SANDAG's 2030 Growth Forecast indicates that the South County sub region will continue to host a
substantial amount of the region's projected growth over the next 21 years, primarily through new
development in the eastern portion of the City.
The number of residential units built hit an all time high during calendar years 1999-2004. Due to
the significant slow down in the housing market, those numbers have dramatically dropped
beginning in 2005. The following graph shows the actual number of housing units completed during
the last 10 calendar years.

The chart illustrates the significant increases in prDperty tax revenue the City has received as a
result Df the rapid develDpment in the east. PrDperty tax revenue has almDst quadrupled Dver the
ten-year periDd. This increase in property tax revenue is of course driven by like increases in the
assessed values in the City. The City's assessed values have grown at histDrical rates until
recently with. the largest percentage increase Df 20 percent Dccurring in fiscal year 2006. Based Dn
the mDst recent CDunty AssessDr Annual ValuatiDn RepDrt, the assessed values in Chula Vista
have decreased by 10.4 percent. The City is anticipating a further decline in assessed values due
tD a number Df factDrs such as the drop in hDusing prices, fDreclDsures and PrDpDsitiDn 8
reassessments. HDwever the City dDes expect develDpment tD return at mDderate levels at SDme

The sub prime mortgage debacle has greatly affected the City. The foreclosure rate has been one
of the highest in the County. The City was susceptible to the sub prime mortgage meltdown due to
the affordable housing available of both new and existing homes, coupled with the relative ease of
obtaining a mortgage. As such when these mortgage interest rates were reset many of these new
owners were unable to afford the new payments.
In addition, these new owners were seeing
their housing prices plummet below the
purchase price of the home. The City has
seen dramatic decreases in median home
prices since September 2007. Recent sales
data indicates that the median price drops
range as high as 53.2 percent in parts of the
City. The chart depicts the change in
median home prices for all zip codes within
the City.

An additional impact on property tax revenues are the property tax delinquency rates that continue
to climb as the sub-prime mortgage crisis is leaving many homeowners with mortgages that are
greater than the current value of their homes. As seen in the chart below, the delinquency rate has
more than doubled from an average of 1.7 percent for fiscal years 1998/99 to 2004/05 to 3.95
percent for fiscal year 2008/09.

Foreclosures are having an additional negative impact on property tax revenues in the City by
depressing housing values. The drop in assessed values has triggered Proposition 8, a
constitutional amendment passed in 1978 that allows for a temporary reduction in assessed value
when real property suffers a "decline-in-value". Therefore, as assessed values fall, homeowners
can apply for a reassessment of their homes which would lead to a reduction of property taxes
based on the lower assessment. Many of these downward reassessments may not appear on
property tax bills until next fiscal year requiring further adjustments to the fiscal outlook.
x
Sales Taxes:
The City receives 1 percent in sales and use tax revenue from all taxable retail sales occurring
within City limits. These funds are collected by the State along with their 7.5 percent component of
the sales and use tax and 0.25 percent designated for transportation for a.total sales tax rate within
San Diego County of 8.75 percent. Sales and use tax revenue is the City's second largest General
Fund revenue source. In fiscal year 2009, sales taxes represented .18.2 percent of total General
Fund revenues.
Sales Tax Revenues
Fiscal Years 1999/2000 to 2008/09
(in millions)
2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009
The growth in retail operators has made significant contributions to Chula Vista's sales tax base.
Over a ten-year period between 2000-2009, Chula Vista's sales tax revenues have grown
approximately 51 percent (in current dollars) with most of that growth occurring after fiscal year
1997. Due to the recent significant economic decline the City's sales tax revenues have dropped
by (-9.6) percent from the previous year. It is anticipated that sales tax revenues will continue to
grow at some point in the future, however that growth may not occur for several years due to the
state of the national and local economies.
Lonq- Term Financial Planninq:
As previously discussed the City is currently experiencing significant economic hardships. Long-
term, the City is in a position to benefit from a vibrant and growing San Diego area economy. The
City considers it essential to fund its financial reserves at a level that can endure a limited economic
recession without impacting service levels and capital maintenance programs. The Council's
General Fund minimum reserve level policy of 8 percent, which became effective in 1996, was
established to prudently protect the fiscal solvency of the City. Reserves are important in order to
mitigate the negative impact on revenues from economic fluctuations, to withstand State budget
grabs and to fund unforeseen expenditure requirements.
However, the recent downturn in the economy has impacted the City's development revenues,
sales tax and property taxes significantly. The City took immediate action by implementing a hiring
freeze and across the board cuts and by doing so was able to mitigate any impacts to General Fund
reserves. As a result the City's General Fund reserve remains unchanged at 6.7 percent as of June
30, 2009, which is below the reserve policy level of 8 percent.
xi
On November 5,2009, the City Council approved a revised General Fund reserve policy. This new
policy increases the desired reserve level to a minimum of 23 percent of General Fund operating
expenditures and is composed of the following three components:
1. General Fund Operating Reserve (15 %). The operating reserve will ensure that the City's
finances are managed in a manner which will (1) continue to provide for the delivery of quality
services, (2) maintain and enhance service delivery as the community grows in accordance with
the General Plan, (3) minimize or eliminate the need to raise taxes and fees because of
temporary revenue shortfalls, and (4) establish the reserves necessary to meet known and
unknown future obligations and ability to respond to unexpected opportunities.
2. Economic Contingency Reserve (5%), The economic contingency reserve represents monies
set aside to mitigate service impacts during a significant downturn in the economy which
impacts City revenues such as sales tax, property tax, business license tax and other revenues.
3. Catastrophic Event Reserves (3%). This reserve will set aside funds for unanticipated
expenditures related lo'a major natural disaster in the City.
The new General Fund Reserve policy of 23 percent is a long-term goal to be achieved within the
nex1 ten years.
During fiscal year 2009, the Finance Department updated the General Fund Five Year Financial
Forecast to assess the General Fund's ability over the next five years to continue current service
levels based on anticipated growth. The forecast anticipated minimal to no growth for the nex1 five
years and identified a structural imbalance that resulted in budgetary cuts citywide. The Finance
Department will continue to update the five-year forecast, as projections are refined. This forecast
will serve as the foundation for the City's Long Term Financial Plan, which is in process. The
Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recognizes the importance of combining the
forecasting of revenues and expenditures into a single financial forecast. The GFOA also
recommends that a government should have a financial planning process that assesses long-term
financial implications of current and proposed policies, programs, and assumptions that develop
appropriate strategies to achieve its goals.
CASH MANAGEMENT POLICIES
In order to maximize investment leverage, it is the City's practice to "pool" available cash from all
Funds for investment purposes. In accordance with the adopted investment policy, available cash
is invested with the goal of safety, meaning protection of principal, as the first priority, ensuring
adequate liquidity as the second priority, and maximizing yield as the third priority. The average
yield on the pooled investment portfolio during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009 was 3.2
percent, a decrease from the prior year yield of 4.71 percent due to a decreasing interest rate
environment.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The City is self-insured for the first $250,000 (increased to $500,000 on July 1, 2009) per
occurrence for its general liability losses including personal injury, property damage, errors and
omission, automobile liability and employment practices liability. For those losses between
$250,000 and $2,000,000 per occurrence, the City pools its liabilities through its membership in the
San Diego Pooled Insurance Program Authority (SANDPIPA). Insurance for losses in excess of the
$2,000,000 up to $45,000,000 is purchased on a group basis by the member cities.
xii
SANDPIPA is ajoint powers authority comprised of twelve San Diego County cities. The Board of
Directors consists of one staff representative (and an alternative) frorn each of the mernber cities as
designated by the city's governing body. Each member city has equal representation on the Board
of Directors. The Board of Directors is liable for all actions of SANDPIPA.
The City is self-insured for the first $1.0 million per occurrence for worker's compensation liabilities.
Excess workers' compensation coverage is obtained through participation in the CSAC Excess
Insurance Authority's Excess Workers' Cornpensation Program. As of June 30,2009, there is 160-
mernber entities participating in the prograrn that offers per occurrence coverage up to $5.0 million
through pooled resources and from $5.0 million to statutory limits via group purchased excess
insurance policies.
The probable amounts of loss as estimated by the City's Risk Manager and Attorney, including an
estimate of incurred-but-not reported losses, have been recorded as liabilities in the basic financial
statements. There were no reductions in insurance coverage from the prioryear and there were no
insurance settlements, which exceeded coverage in each of the past three years. Additional
information on the City's risk management activity can be found under note disclosure 10 to the
financial statements.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The following presents supplemental information to the MD&A, discussing the City's process of
eliminating fiscal years 2008/09 and 2009/10 budget deficits in the General Fund.
In January of 2009, the Chula Vista City Council authorized a budget reduction plan to address
projected shortfalls in fiscal year 2008109 and fiscal year 2009/10 of $3.9 million and $20 million,
respectively. The budget-balancing plan was in addition to the City's previously implemented
budget reduction plans.
I n total, the City has undergone four rounds of budget reductions over the last two fiscal years.
These steps to reduce net costs were necessary to address decreasing revenues and increasing
expenditures. Revenues are down in many categories, including:
. Decreased sales taxes, resulting from the contraction in consumer spending;
. Decreased property taxes, resulting from reduced assessed values; and
. Decreased development program revenues, resulting from the significant drop in development
activity. .
One round of budget reductions took effect in April 2009, with additional cuts occurring in July
2009. These budget-balancing efforts resulted in additional staffing reductions and service impacts
above and beyond the previous four rounds of reductions.
The following discussion provides a summary of the reductions that were implemented in April 2009
and July 2009 and a summary of the last four rounds of budget reductions.
xiii
FISCAL YEAR 2008/09 CUTS (BUDGET REDUCTION PLAN)
In November of 2008, the City identified a budget gap in fiscal year 2008109 resulting from reduced
revenues and unanticipated expenditures. The total gap identified in fiscal year 2008/09 was $3.9
million. At the same time, a preliminary baseline budget for fiscal year 2009/1 0 was prepared. This
baseline budget reflected an $8.6 million drop in projected revenues and $11.4 million in new
expenditures. The total gap projected for fiscal year 2009/10 was $20 million.
In order to close both the fiscal year 2008/09 gap and the fiscal year 2009/10 gaps, the City Council
authorized a series of budget reductions in January 2009. The first group of net cost reductions
was implemented and reduced the projected deficit for fiscal year 2008/09 to $3.5 million and the
fiscal year 2009110 deficit to $15.2 million. The City projected saving a total of $3.8 million in fiscal
year 2009/10 as a result of salary concessions from the City's bargaining groups (elimination or
deferral of cost of living adjustments). The budget reduction plan is summarized below:

PREVIOUS BUDGET CUTS
The City has undergone four rounds of budget reductions over the last two years. The net cost
reduction and authorized staffing reduction in full time equivalents (FTE) resulting from the budget
reduction programs implemented in fiscal year 2007-08 and fiscal year 2008-09 is summarized
below. These reductions include cuts in the City's General fund, Redevelopment (RDA) and
Housing funds, Fleet fund, and Development Services fund (OS F).

AWARD
The Government Finance Officers' Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Chula Vista for its
comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. In order to be
awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently
organized comprehensive annual financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted
accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current
comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program's
requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Preparation of the Report and more importantly, maintaining the City's accounting records in a
manner sufficient to earn the aforementioned auditors opinion is only accomplished with the
continuous concerted effort of each and every staff member in the Finance Department As such, I
express my sincere appreciation for their dedicated service. I would also like to thank the City
Council for their continued support in achieving excellence in financial management

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
of the City of Chula Vista.
Chula Vista, California
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-
type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Chula
Vista, California (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2009, which collectively comprise the
City's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the City's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.
Vve conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United
States and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Govemment 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
Inaterial misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides.a reasonable basis for our
qpinion.
Subsequent to the financial statements date of June 30, 2009 and the year then ended, the State of
California (State) has borrowed, deferred paying certain revenues and proposed taking other funds
from local governments including, cities, counties, districts, and agencies. These actions by the State
include:
. 8% of Property Taxes borrowed - to be repaid in tlu-ee years
. Gas Tax payment.s deferred - h,'o deferral periods during fiscal year 2009-2010
. Redevelopment Agency funds - to be taken for fiscal year 2009-2010 and 2010-2011
These above amounts are very significant to the local goveriunents and 1nay affect their ongoing
operations. Certain lawsuits are in process to stop such State actions. The State Legislature has passed
a bill which allows local governments to securitize tl1e 8% of property taxes borrowed by tl1e State.
For more detailed information, see Note 16 of the Notes to Basic Financial Statements.
In our opinion, the basic financial statenlents referred to above present fairly, in all InateriaI respects,
the respective financial position of the govenUllental activities, the business-type activities, each major
fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of tl1e City as of June 30, 2009, and the respective
changes in financial position and cash flo'\vs, where applicable, thereof for the year then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

In accordance with Govemment Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 7,
2009, on our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
c0111pliance with certain provisions of Iavvs, 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 Govemment Auditing Standards and should be considered. in
assessing the results of our audit.
As described in Note 1 to the basic financial statements, the City implemented Governmental
Accounting Standards Board Statements No. 49, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pollution
Remediation Obligations, No. 52, Land and OilJer Real Estate Held as Investments by Endowments, No. 55,
T1Je Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for State and Local Govemments, and No. 56,
Codification of Accounting and Financ!al Reporting Guidance Contained in AICPA Statements on Auditing
Standards.
The accompanying Required Supplementary Information, such as Management's Discussion and
Analysis, budgetary information, budgetary comparison schedules and other information as listed in
the table of contents, is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary
information required by the Governmental Accounting Standards,Board. We have applied certain
limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of
measurement and presentation of the Required Supplementary Information. However, we did not
audit the information and express no opinion on the Required Supplementary Information.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose' of forming an opinion on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements. The accompanying Supplementary
Information is presented for purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements. The Supplementary Information has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The Introductory and Statistical
Sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the Introduction and Statistical Sections.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Management of the City of Chula Vista (the "City") provides this Management Discussion and Analysis of
the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for readers of the City's financial statements.
This narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City is for the fiscal year ended June
30,2009. We encourage readers to consider this information in conjunction with the additional information
that is furnished in the letter of transmittal, which can be found preceding this narrative, and with the
City's financial statements, which follow.
Financial Highlights
The following outlines financial highlights for the year:
1. TI1e assets of the City exceeded its liabilities at June 30, 2009 by $970.2 million (net assets). Of this
amount, $154.1 million was reported as "unresb'icted net assets" and may be used to meet the
government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
2. Total unrestricted net assets are $7.1 million higher than last fiscal year, an increase of 4.8%.
3. The City's total net assets decreased by $3.9 million in fiscal year 2009. Net assets of governmental
activities decreased by $11.7 million, while net assets of the business type activities increased by $7.8
million. The specifics of the changes in net assets will be discussed in later sections of this document.
4. The City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $133.0 million, a decrease of
$11.1 million from the prior year due to the economic recession and the lack of housing development.
Approximately, 40% of this total amount ($53.9 million) is reserved to indicate that it is not available for
new spending because it has already been committed to liquidate contracts ($12.3 million), pay debt
service ($9.8 miLlion) and reserved amounts for loans receivable and advances ($31.9 miLlion). Of the
remaining balance, $75.9 million is unreserved but has been designated primarily for capital projects.
5. Total citywide liabilities increased by $20.2 million or 15.5%. Liabilities for govermnental activities
increased by $22.2 million or 18.1% and decreased by $1.9 million or 23.9% for business-type activities.
6. The City's total long-term debt obligations had a net decrease of $1.0 million or 0.53% during fiscal year
2009. During the 2009 fiscal year, the Agency issued the 2008 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds ($21.6
million) to refinance the 2000 Tax Allocation Bonds ($15.1 million) and to finance redevelopment
activities. Reductions in the liabilities are composed of debt retirement ($15.1 million), repayments of
bond principal ($7.1 million), repayments on loans/notes payable ($0.2 million) and lease payments
($0.4 million).
7. The unreserved fund balance of the General Fund on June 30, 2009 was $12.4 million, an increase of $0.6
million from the prior year. Included in these figures is $1.0 million of W1reserved fund balance
accounted for in funds, such as the Public Liability Reserve Fund, which are considered general fund
type funds for financial reporting purposes. Excluding these other general fW1d type funds, the
available General Fund balance is $9.3 million or 6.7% of operating expenditures.

OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial statements.
The City's basic financial statements are comprised of three components; 1) government-\vide financial
statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements.
This report also contains required supplementary information (RSI) as well as other supplemental financial
information.
Government-wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the
City's finances, in a marmer similar to private-sector business. They are comprised of the Statement of Net
Assets and Statement of Activities.
The Statement of Net Assets presents information on all of the City's assets and liabilities, with the difference
between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a useful
indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating. This statement
combines and consolidates governmental fund's current financial resources with capital assets and long-
term obligations.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the government's net assets changed during
the fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the
change occurs, regardless 'of the timing of the related cash flows. Thus revenues and expenses are reported
in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g. uncollected
taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
Both of the above financial statements have separate sections for three different types of programs or
activities. These three types of activities are;
Govemmental Activities - The activities in this section are mostly supported by taxes and charges for services.
The governmental activities of the City include General Government, Public Safety, Public Works, Parks
and Recreation and Library.
Business- Type Activities - These functions normally are intended to recover all or a significant portion of
tl1eir costs through user fees and charges to external users of goods and services. The business-type
activities of tl1e City include the Sewer Funds and Transit Operations.
Discretely Presented Component Units - The City of Chula Vista has no discretely presented component units
to report upon.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 18 through 21 of this report.
Fund Financial Statements and Major Component Unit Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts tl1at is used to maintain control over resources that have been
segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund
accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance witl1 finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds
of the City can be divided into three categories; governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary
funds.
4
The fund financial statements provide detailed information about each of the City's most significant funds,
called Major Funds. The concept of Major Funds, and the determination of which' are major funds, was
established by CASB Statement 34 and replaces the concept of combining like funds and presenting them in
total. Instead, each Major Fund is presented individually, with all Non-major Funds summarized and
presented in a single colunm. Further detail on the Non-major funds is presented on pages 101 through 132
of this report.
Gove1'1l11lelltal FUllds - Coverrunental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported
as gOV€111111entaI activities in the government-wide financial statelnents. Ho'\vever, unlike the government-
wide fu1ancial statements, govenunental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows 311d outflows
of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year.
Such information may be useful in evaluating a govenunent's near-term financial capacity.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the govenm1ent-wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for goverrunental' funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the goverrunent-wide Mancial statements. By doing
so, readers may better underst311d the long-term impact of the government's near-term financing decisions.
Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the govenunental fund statement of revenues, expenditures,
and changes in fund bal311ces provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison benveen goverrunental
funds and govenunental activities. These reconciliations are presented on the page immediately following
each govenunental fund financial statement.
The City has thirty-three governmental funds, of which seven are considered major funds for presentation
purposes. Each major fund is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the
governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances. The City's
remaining governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. The basic
goverrunental fund fu1ancial statements can be found on pages 26 through 33 of this report. Individual
fund data for each of these non-major goverrunental funds is provided in the form of combining statements
on pages 101 through 128 of this report.
Proprietary FUllds - The City maintains nvo different types of proprietary funds - enterprise funds and
internal service funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type
activities in the government-wide fu1ancial statements. The City uses an enterprise fund to account for its
Sewer and Transit activities. Internal service funds are used to accumulate and allocate costs internally
among the City's various functions. The City uses internal service funds to account for its fleet of vehicles
and its infornlation systenlS and equipm~nt replacement progranl. Because these services predominantly
benefit govenunental rather than business-type .functions, they have been included \vithin governnlental
activities in the governmental-wide financial statements.
.Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only
in lTIore detail. Like the govenUllent-vvide financial statenlents, proprietary hmd financial statements use
the accrual basis of accounting. There is no reconciliation needed between the governnlent-'\vide financial
statements for business-type activities and the proprietary fund financial statements.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 36 through 38 of this report.
Fiduciary FU1lds - Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside
the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the govenm1ent-wide financial statclnents because the
resources of those funds are not available to support the City's own programs.

Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in
the goverrunent-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on
pages 42 through 92 of this report.
Required Supplementary Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain
required supplementary information providing a budgetary comparison statement for the general fund and
sewer fund. Required supplementary information can be found on pages 94 and 97 of this report.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Net Assets
As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a goverrunent's financial position.
In the case of the City of Chula Vista, combined net assets (goverrunent and business type activities) totaled
$970.2 million at the close of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009.
By far the largest portion of the City's net assets (79.6%) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g. land,
streets, sewers, buildings, machinery, and equipment), less any related debt used to acquire those assets
that are still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently,
these assets are not available for future spending. Altl10ugh tl1e City's investment in its capital assets is
reported net of related debt, it should be noted tl1at tl1e resources needed to repay tl1is debt must be
provided from otl1er sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

Additional portions of the City's net assets are restricted ($43.9 million or 4.5%) and represent resources
that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used, The remaining balance of unrestricted net
assets of $154.1 million may be used to meet tl1e goverrunent's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
At tl1e end of fiscal year 2008-09 the City is able to report positive balances in all tl1fee categories of net
assets, botl1 for tl1e goverrunent as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and business-type
activities. The same situation held true for the prior fiscal year.
There was a decrease of $11.3 million in restricted net assets reported in connection with tl1e City's
goverrunental activities. Almost 75% of tillS decrease is attributable to spending of restricted assets for
designated capital projects.

Changes in Net Assets
The City's net assets have decreased by $3.9 million or 0.4%, from tl1e prior fiscal year. All of the decrease
in tl1e net assets is attributable to the decline in revenues for governmental activities. The City has seen
declines in all program revenue categories primarily due to the lack of housing development and the
contribution of developer-constructed infrastructure.
Further analysis is provided within the govenunental and business-type activity sections below.
Governmental Activities
Governmental activities decreased the City's net assets by $11.7 million thereby accounting for all of the
City's decrease in net assets. A comparison of the cost of services by function for the City's govenm1ental
activities is shown in the table below, along witl1 the revenues used to cover the net expenses of the
governmental activities. Key elements of this decrease are as follows:
. ProgrmTI revenues as a whole
decreased by $58.9 million due to the
lack of housing development in the
City because of the sub-prime
mortgage debacle and collapse of the
housing market.
. General revenues as a whole
decreased by $4.4 million due to the
economic recession and the high
unemployment rates that have
effectively curbed discretionary
spending in the City.
. Due to the decrease in revenues, the
City was able to reduce expenditures
for governmental activities by $20.2
million from the prior fiscal year.

Total program revenues from governmental activities were $108.5 million in fiscal year 2009. Per GASB 34,
program revenues are derived directly from tile program itself or from parties outside the reporting
government's taxpayers or citizenry. They reduce tile net cost of the function to be financed from tile
government's general revenues.
As reflected in tile pie chart, $72.8 million or 34 % of the
governmental program revenues came from Charges
for Services, which includes licenses and permits, plan
checking fees, developer fees, special assessments and
several other fee for service type revenues. Program
revenues under the Operating Grants and
Contributions category totaled $19.0 million or 9% and
include restricted revenues such as Gas Tax,
Transportation Sales Tax, Asset Seizure Funds and
Federal and State Grants.

General revenues are all other revenues not categorized as program revenues such as property taxes, sales
taxes and investment earnings. Total general revenues from governmental activities were $111.4 million in
fiscal year 2009. The largest percentage of general revenues received during fiscal year 2009 for
governmental activities were taxes of $91.2 million, which included Property Taxes of $43.3 million and
Sales Taxes of $26.3 million. A percentage breakdown of all general revenues is shown in the pie chart
above.
Business Type Activities
Net assets for business-type activities were $213.1 million, an increase of $7.8 million from the prior fiscal
year. This increase in net assets for business-type activities was offset by the decrease in net assets from
governmental activities. The change in the net assets is attributable to a reduction in staffing and other cost
cutting measures in the City's sewer funds.
Total program revenues for business-type
activities were $38.3 million that were for various
sewer fees ($31.3 million) and bus fares ($3.7
million) from the Metropolitan Transit System
whom the City contracts with to provide transit
service. Total expenses for the business-type
activities were $32.0 million and were for
expenses related to Sewer ($23.8 million) and
Transit Operations ($8.2 million).

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF INDIVIDUAL FUNDS
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with fu1ance-related
legal requirements.
Governmental Funds
The focus of the City's govenm1ental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and
balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City's financial capacity. In
particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful lneasure of a governnlent's net resources
available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of fiscal year 2009, the City's govenunental funds reported combined ending fund balances of
$133.0 million. Approximately, S79.1 million of this amount constitutes unreserved and undesignated fund
balance, which is available for spending at the goverIU11ent's discretion. The remainder of fund balance is
reserved to indicate that it is not available for spending because it has already been legally committed.
General l'und - Included as part of the general fund category for financial reporting purposes is the
General Fund, which includes the primary operating fund of the city, the Workers Compensation Fund,
Flexible Spending Account l'und and the Public Liability Reserve Fund, which are considered general fund
type funds for financial reporting purposes.
9
At the end of the current fiscal year, unreserved fund balance of the general fund was $12.4 million, while
total fund balance is $33.1 million. As a measure of the general fund's liquidity, it may be useful to
compare both unreserved fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unreserved fund
balance represents 7.7% of total general fund expenditures including transfers out, while total fund balance
represents 21.7% of that same amount.
During the current year, unreserved fund balance of the general fund, excluding the other general fund
type funds is $9.3 million and remains unchanged from the prior year. The available fund balance
represents 6.7% of the general fund operating budget for fiscal year 2008. This is below the City Council's
targeted minimum reserve level of 8% of the operating budget for the general fund.
There is no discussion of any significant budgetary variations between original and final budget amounts
and between final budget amounts and actual results because significant variances have already been
discussed in this document. Management considers a variance of 10% or greater as significant.
Sundry Grants FUlld - This fund is to account for miscellaneous grants/ revenues such as: Supplemental
Law Enforcement Services, California Library Services Act. Public Library Act, Asset Seizure, Local Law
Enforcement Block Grants, federal library grants, waste management and recycling, energy conservation,
parks and recreation social service grants, G. McCandliss memorial cultural arts, federal assistance, CDBG
Section 108 loan, CDBG program income project, HOME project, and Community Development Block
grants.
The ending total fund balance for fiscal year 2009 was $10.2 million, which is a slight decrease of $0.4
million or 3.9% over the prior year. The unreserved portion of the total fund balance is $7.1 million.
Unreserved fund balance represents 59.2% of total fW1d expenditures including transfers out, while total
fund balance represents 85% of that same amount.
Redevelopment Agency - This fund accounts for revenue received from tax increment within the
redevelopment project areas and is used to fund the Low and Moderate Income Housing fund operating
expenditures and Community Housing Improvement Program loans.
The ending total fund balance for fiscal year 2009 was $11.9 million, which is an increase of $1.5 million or
14.2% over the prior year due to reduced expenditures for affordable housing projects. The unreserved
portion of the total fund balance is $10.2 million.
Development Impact FUlld - This fund was established as a depository for various development impact
fees. The fees are levied against all new development in the City in order to pay for the construction or
improvement of public facilities as a result of City growth. At the end of fiscal year 2009, the unreserved
fund balance was $25.8 million, which is a decrease of $0.6 million from the previous fiscal year due
primarily to completing construction of Phase 3 of the Civic Center project which has been funded on a pay-
as-you-go basis from available cash. Since these funds are collected for consb'uction or improvements of
public facilities, they have been fully designated for specific projects.
Park Acquisitioll Development - This fund was established as a depository for fees collected from property
developers for the purpose of providing park and recreational facilities directly benefiting and serving
residents of the regulated subdivision. This in-lieu fee was adopted by the City to acquire neighborhood
and community parkland and to construct parks and recreational facilities.
10
The Parkland Acquisition and Development fee was increased in October 2006 from $8,962 to $9,122 for
Areas West of I-80S and $16,644 to $16,804 for Areas East of I-80S. At the end of fiscal year 2009, the
unreserved fund balance was $32.2 million, which is a decrease of $6.9 miIIion due primarily to construction
of l\{ount San Miguel Community Park. Since these fW1ds are collected for providing parks and
recreational facilities, they have been fuIly designated for specific projects.
Redevelopmellt Agency Debt Se,.vice Fund - This fund was established to account for tax levies, rentals,
other revenues and payments of principal and interest on Redevelopment Agency loans and outstanding
bonds. The unreserved fund balance decreased by $3.3 million from $-29.3 miIIion to $-26.0 miIIion due to a
combination of issuing new debt, 2008 Tax AIIocation Bonds, payment of principal and interest on existing
debt and the repayment of advances from the General Fund.
City Debt Se,.vice Fund - This fund was established to account for the principal and interest payments on
the City's long-term debt. The unreserved fund balance decreased by -$6.5 million from $-14.2 to $-20.7
miIIion for the fiscal year. The decrease is due to three interfund loans during the fiscal year. The
Transportation Development Impact Fee fund made loans to the Public Facilities Development Impact Fee
fund ($5.2 miIIion) and to the Western Transportation Development Impact Fee fund ($180,000). In
addition, the General Fund loaned the Public Facilities Development Impact Fee fund $1.5 miIIion.
Proprietary Funds
The City's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial
statements, but in more detail. .
Sewe,. Fund- The Sewer Fund is used to account for a variety of sewer service related revenues and
expenses. The net assets for the fund increased $9.1 miIIion to $202.0 miIIion. The fund's Investments in
capital assets (i.e. sewer system infrastructure) account for $141.9 miIIion or 70.2% of the net assets of the
fund.
Sewer Fund operating revenues increased by $4.5 million over the prior fiscal year. An increase in sewer
fees accounts for the increase. Total operating expenses for the Sewer Fund decreased by $6.7 miIIion
compared to the last fiscal year. A majority of the decrease is in operations and administration expense,
which was reduced by $5.1 million and is related to the City's contract wiu1 U1e City of San Diego. The City
contracts wiU1U1e City of San Diego to b.eat its sewage through San Diego's treatment plant. Contractual
services with U1e City of San Diego were decreased from the previous year because the City of San Diego
did a reaIlocation of its charges to all participating agencies U1at contract with U1e San Diego.
GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
The final amended general fund budget totaled $151.0 miIIion, including $2.8 miIlion in budget
amendments to U1e originaIly adopted budget and encumbrances of $0.8 miIIion, which wiII fund
conb.actual obligations and outstanding purchase orders. The General Fund's net cost budget amendments
of $1,450,000 are summarized as foIlows:
. $1.2 million for additional public liability expenditures.
. $250,000 for services provided by U1e Couuty of San Diego Registrar of Voters.
Of the $2.8 million in mid-year appropriations, $1.4 miIIion were covered by specific funding sources. As
discussed previously, U1e available fW1d balance of the general fund, excluding the oU1er general fund type
funds, remained unchanged from U1e prior fiscal year at $9.3 miIlion.

CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
. Capital Assets
The City's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business type activities as of June 30, 2009,
amounts to $950.3 million, net of accumulated depreciation of $345.6 million. This investment in capital
assets includes land, buildings, improvements, machinery and equipment, infrastructure and construction
in progress. Infrastructure assets are items that are normally immovable and of value only to the City such
as roads, bridges, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems, lighting systems and similar items. The total
additions to the City's investment in capital assets for the current fiscal year was -$1.4 million, net of
accumulated depreciation.
Major capital asset additions during the current fiscal year are discussed in the City Highlights section of
this document.
Additional information on the City's capital assets can be found in Note 5a of the notes to the financial
statements.
Debt Administration
Long Term Debt - At the end of the 2009 fiscal year, the City had $195.9 million in debt outstanding
compared to the $196.9 million last year, a 0.5% net decrease. During the 2009 fiscal year, the
Redevelopment Agency issued tax allocation bonds in the amount of $21.6 million.
The City has no outstanding general obligation debt. The City has maintained an" A-" rating by Standard
& Poor's for Certificates of Participation, which represents a "stable outlook.
The Redevelopment Agency has maintained an "A" rating for Tax Allocation Bonds from Standard &
Poor's. Additional information on the City's long-term debt obligations can be found in Note 6 of the notes
to tl1e financial statements.
ECONOMIC CLIMATE
Chula Vista, tl1e second largest City in San Diego County, is a town in transition. Once known as a bedroom
community with a strong collection of small businesses, Chula Vista is now attracting multi-national
corporations. High tech companies like Hitachi, DNP America and Leviton have opened new facilities in
Chula Vista du~ing tl1e past few years. These companies find the area a good location from which to
manage their manufacturing and distribution operations both in tl1e United States and in Mexico.
The San Diego regional economy has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past decade. The
severe recession in the first half of the 1990s was the longest and deepest of the past 60 years. The
downturn, subsequent recovery and expansion were not mere business or cyclical adjustments, but an
extensive overhauling and restructuring of the region IS basic eCOl1OInic drivers.
From an economy largely dominated by defense and military expenditures, San Diego indusb'ies
transformed into a diversified mix of high-teclmology commercial endeavors. Some of these sectors were
by-products of defense-based efforts, as well as capitalization of highly educated and skilled workers.
Enlerging growth areas include telecommunications, elech"onic5, COlllputers, software, and biotechnology.I
12
International trade also contributed to the local economic recovery and dynamic performance in recent
years. Cross border trade and interactions with Mexico provide tremendous economic advantages and
opporhmities, becoming an increasingly important facet of the local region's economic forhmes.
Mexico and Canada, US partners under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), dominate
San Diego's export markets by far, accounting for more than one-half (55 percent) of all export production.
San Diego clearly benefits from NAFTA, not only because the agreement further opened up the markets of
our two largest customers, but also because Tijuana and Baja California, our border and economic partner,
was greatly benefited and stimulated by heightened trade and dollars flowing to tl1e region.
As discussed in the transmittal letter, the City has been hard hit by tl1e lack of residential development, the
sub-prime mortgage debacle, and one of tl1e highest foreclosure rates in the county. These factors have
reduced the groWtl1 in assessed values witlun tl1e city from 20% in 2006 to -10.4% in 2009.
The City's two largest sources of discretionary General Fund revenue are property and sales taxes. The
housing factors coupled witl1 increasing unemployment of city residents has led to a leveling off of
property tax revenues and actual decline in sales tax revenues from fiscal year 2008. This trend is expected
to continue until at least 2010. As a result of these revenue declines the City has acted quickly to reduce
expenditures to bring them more in line witl1 revenues. For fiscal year 2009, the City reduced the General
Fund operational budget by over $20 million paring approximately 160 full time positions in a series of
budget cuts.
The City's growth and development is expected to continue but not until the housing market has been
corrected. The San Diego Association of Governments most recent forecast for groWtl1 estimates tl1e City to
add over 80,000 new residents to tl1e community over tl1e next 20 years.

funds.

Reconciliation of the Governmental Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund
Balances to the Government-Wide Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets
For the year ended June 30, 2009
Net Change in Fund Balances - Total Governmental Funds
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities were different because:
Governmental funds reported capital outlay as expenditures. However, in the Government-Wide Statement of Activities and
Changes in Net Assets, the cost of those assets was allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expenses. This
is the amowlt of capital assets recorded in the current period.
Depreciation expense on capital assets was reported in the Government-Wide Statement of Activities and Ganges in Net
Assets, but they did not require the use of current financial resources. TIlerefore, depreciation expense was: not reported as
expenditures in the Governmental Funds. This amount did not include the depreciation expense for Internal Service Funds in
the amount of 51,029,924.
Capital assets contributed by developers were recognized as revenue on the government-wide statement of activities.
However those assets did not provide for current financial resources and therefore were not recognized as revenue on the
governmental funds statement.
1l\e net effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets (i.e. sales, trade-ins, and donations) decreased net
assets.
111e issuance of long~term liabilities provided current financial resources to governmental funds, but issuing debt increased
long-term liabilities in the Government-Wide Statement of Net Assets. Repayment of long-term liabilities was an
expenditures in governmental funds, but the repayment reduced lopg-term liabilities in the Government-Wide Statement of
Net Assets.

the bond.

City of Chula Vista
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the year ended June 30, 2009
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The basic financial statements of the City of Chula Vista, California have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to govermnental agencies. The Governmental
Accounting Standards Boards (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing governmental
accounting and financial reporting principles. The more significant of the City's accounting policies are
described below.

form of government and provides the following services as authorized by its charter: public safety,
COllllTIUlUty services, engineering services, planning services, public works, g~neral administrative
services and capital improvements.
As required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, these basic financial
statements present the City and its component units, entities for which the City is considered to be
financially accountable. The City is considered to be financially accountable for an organization if the
City appoints a voting majority of that organization's governing body and either the City is able to
impose its will on that organization or there is a potential for that organization to provide financial
benefits to or impose specific financial burdens on the City. The City is also considered to be financially
accountable for an organization if that organization is fiscally dependent (i.e., it is unable to adopt its
budget, levy taxes, set rates or charges, or issue bonded debt without approval from the City). In
certain cases, other organizations are included as component units if the nature and significance of their
relationship with the City are such that their exclusion would cause the City's financial statements to be
misleading or incomplete. Blended component units, although legally separate entities are, in
substance, part of the City's operations and data from these units are combined with data of the City.
Each blended component unit has a June 30 year-end. The following entities are reported component
urn ts:

Governmental Fund Financial Statements, Continued
All governmental funds are accounted for on a spending or "current financial resources" nleasurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, only current assets and current
liabilities are included on the balance sheets. The Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in
Fund Balances present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures
and other financing uses) in net current assets. Under the nlodified accrual basis of accoUllting,
revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become both measurable and available
to finance expenditures of the current period.
Revenues are recorded when received in cash, except revenues subject to accrual (up to 7 Inonths after
year-end) are recognized ''\Then due. The prinlary revenue sources, which have been treated as
susceptible to accrual by the City, are property tax, sales tax, special assessments, intergovernmental
revenues, other taxes, interest revenue, rental revenue and certain charges for services. Expenditures
are recorded in the accounting period in which the related fund liability is incurred.
Unearned revenues arise \vhen potential revenues do not meet both the "ll1easurable" and "available"
criteria for recognition in the current period. Unearned revenues also arise when the government
receives resources before it has a legal claim to them, as ,,,hen grant 1110nies are received prior to
incurring qualifying expenditures. In subsequent periods when boOl revenue recognition criteria are
met or when the government has a legal datill to the resources, the unearned revenue is reIlloved from
Ole balance sheet and revenue is recognized.
The Reconciliation of O,e Fund Financial Statements to O,e Government-Wide Financial Statements is
provided to explain Ole differences created by the integrated approach of GASB Statement No. 34.
The City reports Ole following major governmental funds:
General Fund - This is Ole primary operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all revenues
and expenditures Olat are not required to be accounted for in anoOler fund.
SundlY Grants Special Revenue Fund - This fund consists of miscellaneous grants/revenues such as:
supplemental!aw enforcement services, CBAG, California Library Services Act, asset seizure, local
law enforcement block grants, California Recreation grants, Public Safety grants, waste
management and recycling, energy conservation, emergency shelter program, HOME program,
CDBG program income project, and Community Development Block grants.
Redevelopment Agency Special Revenue Fund - This fund was established to account for revenue
received from tax increment \vithin the redevelopn1ent project areas and is used to fund operating
expenditures, debt service and Redevelopment Agency capital projects.
Redevelopment Agency Debt Service Fund - This fund was established to account for debt levies,
rentals, other revenues and paynlcnts of principal and interest on Redeveloplnent loans and

recreational facilities.
Proprietary Fund Financial Statements
Proprietary fund financial statements include a Statement of Net Assets, a Statement of Revenues,
Expenses and Change in Net Assets, and a Statement of Cash Flows for all proprietary funds.
A column representing internal service funds is also presented in these statements. However, internal
service balances and activities have been c0111bined with the govenmlental activities in the governnlent-
wide financial statements.
Proprietary funds are accounted for using the 1/ economzc resources" measurement focus and the accrual
basis of accounting. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) are included
on tl1e Statement of Net Assets. The Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Change in Fund Net Assets
presents increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net assets. Under tl1e accrual basis of
accounting, revenues are recognized in tl1e period in which they are earned while expenses are
recognized in the period in which liability is incurred.
Operating revenues in the proprietary funds are tl10se revenues that are generated from the primary
operations of the fund. All other revenues are reported as nonoperating revenues. Operating expenses
are those expenses that are essential to the primary operations of tl", fund. All other expenses are
reported as nonoperating expenses.
The City reports tl1e following major proprietary funds:
Sewer Enfe1prise Fund - This fund consists of several funds that are used to account for sewer

The Sewer Service Revenue Fund is a depository for all monies collected from the monthly
sewer service charge. Monies in this fund may be used for construction, luaintenance, or
operation of sevV"er.
Fiduciary Fund Financial Statements
Fiduciary fund financial statements include a Statement of Net Assets. The City's fiduciary funds
represent agency funds. Agency funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not
involve measurement of results of operations. The agency funds are accounted for on the accrual basis
of accounting as are the Proprietary funds explained above.
Fiduciary fund types are accounted for according to the nature of the fund. The City has only agency
funds, which are purely custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities), and thus do not involve
measurement of results of operations.
These funds are used to account for money and property held by the City as trustee or custodian. They
are also used to account for various assessrnent districts for which the City acts as an agent for debt
service activities.
C. Use of Restricted alld Ullrestricted Net Assets
When an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net assets are
available, the City's policy is to apply restricted net assets first.
D. Encumbrances
Formal budgetary integration is enlployed as a 111anagement conh'ol device. Enculnbrance accounting,
under which purchase orders, contracts and other con1n1ihnents for the expenditure of n101ues are
recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is employed as an extension of
formal budgetary integration. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are reported as reservations of
fund balances and do not constitute GAAP basis expenditures or liabilities because the commibnents
will be honored during the subsequent year.

E. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments
The City pools its available cash for investment purposes. The City considers pooled cash and
investment amounts, with original maturities of three months or less, to be cash equivalents.
In accordance with CASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and
for Extemal Investment Pools, highly liquid market investments with maturities of one year or less at time
of purchase are stated at amortized cost. All other investments are stated at fair value.
.Market value is used as fair value for those securities for which market quotations are readily available.
The City participates in an inveshllent pool managed by the State of California titled Local Agency
Investment Fund (LA IF) which has invested a portion of tl1e pool funds in Structured Notes and Asset-
backed Securities. LAIF's investments are subject to credit risk witl1 tl1e full faith and credit of tl1e State
of California collateralizing tl1ese investments. In addition, tl1ese Structured Notes and Asset-backed
Securities are subject to market risk as to change in interest rates.
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the City considers each fund's share in the cash and investments
pool to be cash and cash equivalents including cash with fiscal agents.
In accordance with CASB Statement No. 40, Deposit and Invesbnent Disclosures (an ame11dmel1t of GASB
Statement No.3), tl1e City adheres to certain disclosure requirements, if applicable, for Deposits and
Inveshnent Risks in the following areas;
>- Interest Rate Risk
>- Credit Risk
Overall
Custodial Credit Risk
Concentration of Credit Risk
>- Foreign Currency Risk
In addition, other disclosures are specified including use of certain methods to present deposits and
investments, highly sensitive investments, credit quality at year-end and other disclosures.
F. 11lventoties
Inventories are valued on a weighted average-cost basis which are adjusted to ammal physical counts or
estimates under the consumption method of accounting.
G. Restricted Assets
Fiscal agents acting on behalf of tile City hold inveshnent funds arising from tl1e proceeds of long-term
debt issuances. The funds may be used for specific capital outlays or for the payment of certain bonds,
certificate of participation or tax allocation bonds and have been invested only as permitted by specific
State statutes or applicable City ordinance, resolution or bond indenture.

H. Lalld Held for Resale
Land held for resale is recorded at the lower of cost or market, but not greater than the net realizable
value. An amount equal to the carrying value of land is reserved in fund balance because such assets
are not available to finance the City's current operations. The amount recorded as assets held for resale
and the corresponding fund balance reserved as of June 30, 2009 was $0.
1. Capital Assets
Capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost was not
available. Donated fixed assets are valued at their estimated fair market value on the date donated.
City policy has set the capitalization threshold for reporting capital assets at $5,000 for equipment and
$100,000 for infrastructure. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives
of the assets as follows:
Buildings
Improvements other than buildings
Machinery and equipment
Infrastructure
50 years
50 years
5-12 years
30-75 years
In June 1999, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (CASB) issued Statement No. 34 which
requires the inclusion of infrastructure capital assets in local governnlents' basic financial statenlents.
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 34, the City has included all infrastructure.
The City defines infrastructure as the basic physical assets that allow the City to function. The assets
include streets, seV\7er, and park lands. Each major infrastructure system can be divided into
subsystems. For example the street system can be subdivided into pavement, curb and gutters,
sidewalks, medians, streetlights, landscaping and land. These subsystems were not delineated in tlle
basic financial statements. The appropriate operating department maintains information regarding the
su bsyste~s.
Interest accrued during capital assets construction, if any, is capitalized for tlle business-type and
proprietary funds as part of the asset cost.
For all infrastructure systems, the City elected to use tl1e Basic Approach as defined by GASB Statement
No. 34 for infrastructure reporting. The City commissioned an appraisal of City owned infrastructure
and property as of June 30, 2001. This appraisal determined tl1e original cost, which is defined as the
actual cost to acquire new property in accordance witl1 market prices at the time of first
construction/ acquisition.
Original costs were developed in one of three ways: (1) historical records; (2) standard unit costs
appropriate for tl1e consb'uction/ acquisition date; or (3) present cost indexed by a reciprocal factor of
the price increase fro III the construction/ acquisition date to the current date. The accumulated
depreciation, defined as the total depreciation from tl1e date of consb'uction/ acquisition to the current
date on a straight line, unrecovered cost method was computed using industry accepted life
expectancies for each infrastructure subsystem. The book value was tl1en computed by deducting tl1e
acculllulated depreciation from the original cost.

J. Compensated Absences
Government-Wide Financial Statements
For governmental and business-type activities, compensated absences are recorded as expenses and
liabilities as incurred.
Fund Financial Statements
For governmental funds, compensated absences are recorded as expenditures in the years paid, as it is
the City's policy to liquidate any unpaid compensated absences at June 30 from future resources, rather
than currently available financial resources. The General Fund is typically used to liquidate
compensated absences. Tn proprietary funds, compensated absences are expensed to the various funds
in the period they are earned, and such fund's share of the unpaid liability is recorded as a long-term
liability of the fund.
K. Long- Te1711 Debt
Government-Wide Financial Statements
Long-term debt and otl1er financial obligations are reported as liabilities in the appropriate funds.
Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the
bonds using tl1e effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of tl1e applicable premium or
discow1t. Issuance costs are reported as deferred charges.
Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements do not present long-term debt but are shown in tl1e Reconciliation of the
Governmental Funds Balance Sheet to tl1e Government-Wide Statement of Net Assets.
L. Property Taxes
Property taxes are levied on March 1 and are payable in two installments: November 1 and February 1
of each year. Property taxes become delinquent on December 10 and April 10, for the first and second
installments, respectively. The lien date is January 1. The County of San Diego, California (County)
bills and collects property taxes and remits them to tl1e City according to a payment schedule
established by tl1e County.
The County is permitted by State law to levy taxes at 1 % of full market value (at time of purchase) and
can increase tl1e property tax rate no more tl1at1 2% per year based on California CPI whichever is less.
The City receives a share of tlus basic tax levy proportionate to what it received during the years 1980-
1981.
Property tax revenue is recogluzed in tl1e fiscal year for wluch tlle taxes have been levied, provided tlle
taxes are received within 60 days after tl1e end of the fiscal year. Property taxes received after this date
are not considered available as a resource that can be used to finance the current year operations of the
City and, therefore, are not recorded as revenue until collected.
No allowance for doubtful accounts was considered necessary.

M. Use of Estimates
The preparation of basic financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
and disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.
N. Public Facilities Financing
Interest costs incurred from the date of borrowing to the completion of the improvement project(s) are
capitalized, net of interest earnings, on all proprietary fund assets acquired with tax-exempt debt.
O. Net Assets/Fund Balances
Government-Wide Financial Statements
Net assets are categorized as follows:
Invested in Cavital Assets, Net of Related Debt - This amoimt consists of capital assets net of
accumulated depreciation and reduced by outstanding debt that attributed to the acquisition,
construction, or improvement of the assets.
Restricted Net Assets - This amount is restricted by external creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws
or regulations of other govermnents. .
Unrestricted Net Assets - This amount is all net assets that do not meet the defi.nition of "invested in
capital assets, net of related debt" or "restricted net assets."
Fund Financial Statements
Reservations of fund balances of governmental funds and retained earnings of proprietary funds are
created to either satisfy legal covenants, including State laws, that require a portion of the fund equity
be segregated or ideiltify the portion of the fund equity not available for future expenditures.

GASB Statement No. 49 addresses accounting and financial reporting standards for pollution (including
contamination) remediation obligations, which are obligations to address the current or potential
detrimental effects of existing pollution by participating in pollution remediation activities such as site
assessments and cleanups.
GASB Statement No. 52 improves the quality of financial reporting by requiring endowments to report
their land and other real estate investments at fair value, creating consistency in reporting among
similar entities that exist to invest resources for the purpose of generating income.
GASB Statement No. 55 incorporates the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
for state and local governments into the GASB's authoritative literature. It is intended to make it easier
for pre parers of state and local government financial statements to identify and apply the "GAAP
hierarchy," which consists of sources of accounting principles used in the preparation of financial
statements so that they are presented in conformity with GAAP and the framework for selecting those
principles.
GASB Statement No. 56 incorporates accounting and financial reporting guidance previously only
contained in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICP A) auditing literature into the
GASB's accounting and financial reporting literature for state and local governments. The Statement
No. 56 guidance addresses three issues from the AICP A's literature - related party transactions, going

Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an invesbnent will not fulfill its obligation to the holder
of the invesbnent. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical
rating organization. The City's invesbnents are rated by the nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations as follows:

Custodial Cred,t Risk
Demand Deposits:
The California Govenm1ent Code requires California banks and savings and loan associations to secure the
City's cash deposits by pledging securities as collateral. This Code states that collateral pledged in this
manner shall have the effect of perfecting a security interest in such collateral superior to those of a general
creditor. Thus, collateral for cash deposits is considered to be held in the City's name.
The market value of pledged securities must equal at least 110% of the City's cash deposits. California
law also allows institutions to secure City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a
value of 150% of the City's total cash deposits. The City may waive collateral requirements for cash
deposits, which are fully insured up to $100,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The City,
ho\vever, has not \'\'aived the collateralization requirements.
Investments:
For an invesbnent, custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counter party,
the City will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the
possession of an outside party. All securities, with the exception of the money market funds and LAIF,
are held by a third-party custodian (BNY Western Trust). BNY is a registered member of the Federal
H.eserve Bank.

The City invests in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), a State of California investment pool.
LAIF determines fair value on its investment portfolio based on market quotations for those securities
where market quotations are readily available and based on amortized cost or best estimate for those
securities where market value is not readily available.
The City valued its investments in LAIF as of June 30, 2009, at amortized cost which approximates the
fair value. The fair value is calculated by multiplying the account balance with LA IF times a fair value
factor of 1.001364207 which is determined by LAlF. This fair value factor was determined by dividing
all LAIF participants' total aggregate amortized cost by total aggregate fair value.
11.e City's investments with Local Agency Investment Funds (LAIF) at June 30, 2009, included a portion of
the pooled funds invested in Su'uctured Notes and Asset-Backed Securities. These investments included
the following:
Structured Notes are debt securities (other than asset-backed securities) whose cash flow
characteristics (coupon rate, redemption amount, or stated maturity) depend upon one or more
indices and/ or that have embedded forwards or options.
. Asset-Backed Securities, the bulk of which are mortgage-backed securities, entitle their purchasers
to receive a share of the cash flows from a pool of assets such as principal and interest repayments
from a pool of mortgages (such as CMO) or credit card receivables.
As of June 30, 2009, tl.e City had $58,261,988 invested in LAIF, which had invested 14.71% of the pool
investment funds in Medium-Term and Short-Term Structured Notes and Asset-Backed Securities.

The sANDPIPA Board of Directors establishes an Executive Committee that is responsible for the
administration and operation of the risk management programs of sANDPIP A, subject to the control of the
Board. The Executive Committee consists of the Board President, Vice-President, Treasurer and a member
at-large nominated by the Board President and approved by a vote of the Board. The Executive Committee
is responsible for the oversight of all SAND PIP A operations, including preparation and submittal of the
Pool's annual budget to the Board for its review and approval.
Alillual pool premiums and assessments are approved by the Board of Directors and are adjusted alUlUally
based on the member city's incurred losses; the member's share of such losses and other expenses as a
proportion of all member's losses; historical contributions to reserves (including reserves for lBNR losses);
the cost to purchase excess liability 111surance and other coverage and a proportionate share of
adminisb'ative expenses.
The City is self-ll1Sured for the first $1,000,000 per occurrence for workers' compensation liabilities. Excess
workers' compel1Sation coverage is obtained through participation in the CsAC Excess Insurance
Authority's Excess Workers' Compel1Sation Program. As of June 30, 2009, there are 160 member entities
participating in the program that offers per occurrence coverage up to $5,000,000 through pooled resources
and from $5,000,000 to statutory limits via group purchased excess insurance policies.
Only the probable amounts of loss as estimated by the City's Risk Manager and Attorney, includ1l1g an
estimate of 111Curred-but-not-reported losses, have been recorded as liabilities in the accompanying basic
financial staten1ents. There were no reductions in insurance from the prior year and there were no
i11Surance settlements that exceeded coverage in each of the past three years.
The aggregate change in the balance of claims payable as recorded in the GoverlUHental Activities were as
follows:

11. PENSION PLANS
A. Califomia Public Employees' Retirement Plan
Plan Descr;ption
The City contributes to the Califomia Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS), an agent multiple-
employer public employee defined benefit pension plan. PERS provides retirement and disability
benefits, almual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and 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 City
ordinance. Copies of PERS' annual financial report may be obtained from their Executive Office located
at 400 P Street, Sacramento, California 95814.
Fund;nz Policy
Active plan members are required by State statute to contribute 8% for miscellaneous and 9% for safety
employees of their annual covered salary. The City employer makes the contributions required of City
employees on their behalf and for their account, which amounted to $7,097,135 for the year ended
June 30, 2009. The City employer is required to contribute at an actuarial determined rate of 18.317% of
annual covered payroll for miscellaneous employees and 23.936% of annual covered payroll for safety
employees for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.
Annual Pens;o'I Cost
For 2008-2009, the City's armual pension cost of $18,938,442 for PERS was equal to the City's required
and actual contributions. The required contribution was determined as part of the June 30, 2006,
actuarial valuation using the enby age normal actuarial cost method. The actuarial assumptions
included (a) 7.75% investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses), (b) projected salary
increases range from 3.25% to 14.45% for miscellaneous employees and 3.25% to 13.15% for safety
employees depending on age, service, arld type of employment, and (c) 3.25% per year cost-of-living
adjusbnents. Both (a) and (b) included an inflation component of 3%. The actuarial value of PEPS
assets was determined using techniques that smooth the effects of short-term volatility in the market
value of inveshnents over a three year period. PERS unfunded actuarial accrued liability (or surplus)
for both miscellaneous and safety employees are being amortized as a level percentage of projected
payrolls over a closed 20-year period for prior aIld current service unfunded liability.

B. Defined Contribution Pension Plan
The City provides pension plan benefits for all of its part-time employees through a defined
contribution plan (Public Agency Retirement Plan), In a defined contribution plan, benefits depend
solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. The plan is administered by Phase
11 Systems. All part-time employees are eligible to participate from .the date of employment. Federal
legislation requires contributions of at least 7.5% to a retirement plan, and City Council resolved to
match the employees' contributions of 3.75%. The City's contributions for each employee (and interest
earned by the accounts) are fully vested immediately.
For the year ended June 30, 2009, the City's total payroll and covered payroll was $2,565,493. The City
made employer contributions of $96,206 (3.75% of current covered payroll), and employees contributed

12. OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
Plan Description
The City provides a Retiree Healthcare Plan, which allows retirees to purchase healthcare coverage under
the City's medical plan. Retirees pay 100% of the premiums. Retirees not eligible for Medicare pay the
same healthcare premiums as active employees, even though retiree's healthcare costs are greater than that
of active employees. This results in an implied subsidy of retiree's healthcare costs by the City.
On April 22, 200S the City Council approved a medical incentive program for early retirement, the City
offered to pay the employees single premium until December 31,2009 if employees retired between May 5,
200S to June 5, 200S. On December 16, 200S, the City Council approved a third resolution to pay the
employees single premium until December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 if employees retired between
January 1, 2009 to March 27, 2009 and March 2S, 2009 to June 26, 2009, respectively.
Eli'libilitlJ
Employees are eligible for retiree health benefits if they retired from the City on or after age 50 (unless
disabled) and are eligible for PERS pension. The benefits are available only to employees who retired from
the City. Membership of the plan consisted of tl1e following at June 30, 2009:
Police

The above does not reflect current retirees not enrolled in tl1e healtlccare plan who are eligible to enroll in
the plan at a later date.
Flmdin'l Policlf
The City offers an implied subsidy benefit paid by tl1e City. The City's contribution is based on pay as-you-
go. The retirees pay 100% of tl1eir individual premium except for the retirees who retired under fue
incentive plan. The City is contributing between $379 to $676 in montl1ly premiums on behalf of the
employee who retired under fue incentive plan.
Annual Other Poste111vlolf111ent Benefits (OPEB) Cost and Net OPEB Obli'lations
The City's aImual other postemployment benefit (OPEB) cost (expense) is calculated based on the almual
required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordaI1Ce with tl1e
parameters of GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level of funding tl1at, if paid on aI1 ongoing
basis, is projected to cover the normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or
funding excess) not to exceed thirty years.

Information for the year ending June 30, 2007 is not available because CASB Statement No. 45 was first
implemented in 2008.
Fundin? Status and Pl'Ozress
As of June 30, 2007, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the plan was not funded in its initial year of
implementation. The actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $9,608,000, and the actuarial value of assets
was $0, resulting in an unfunded actuarial liability (VAAL) of $9,608,000 and a funded ratio (actuarial value
of assets as a percentage of the actuarial liability) of 0 percent.
Actuarial valuations of m1 ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and
assumptions about the probability of Occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include
assumptions about the future employment, mortality and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined
regarding the funded status of the plan and the alUmal 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, presented as required supplementary information following
the notes to financial statements, 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 the benefits.

Actuarial Methods and AssuJ11vnons
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as
understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time
of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefits costs between employer and plan
members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include teclmiques that are designed
to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial liabilities and the actuarial assets, consistent with
the long-term respective of the calculations.
The actuarial cost method used for determining the benefit obligation is the Enhy Age Normal Cost
Method. The actuarial assumptions included a 4.50% discount rate, the inflation rate for HMO's starts at
9.7% (the increase in 2010 premiums over 2009) and grades down to 4.5% (2017 premiums over 2016) and
relnains at 4.5% into the future. This assull1ption lneans healthcare is assulned to increase, on the average,
7.1 % for HMO's and 7.5% for PPO's a year for the next 8 years after 2009. The general inflation assumption
rate is 3% and is assumed that healthcare will level off at 1.5% over general inflation. The VAAL is being
amortized as a level percentage of projected payroll over 30 years.

13. POLLUTION REMEDIATION OBLIGATIONS
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 49, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pollution Remediation
Obligations, the City is required to estimate the components of expected pollution remediation outlays and
determine whether outlays for those components should be accrued as liabilities or, if appropriate,
capitalized when goods and services are acquired if one of the following five specified obligating events
occurs:
. The City is compelled to take pollution remediation action because of an imminent endangerment;
. The City violates a pollution prevention-related permit or license;
. The City is named, or evidence indicates tl1at it will be named, by a regulator as a responsible party
or potentially responsible party for remediation, or as a govermnent responsible for sharing costs;
. The City is named, or evidence indicates that it will be named, in a lawsuit to compel participation
in pollution remediation;
. The City commences or legally obligates itself to commence pollution remediation.
At June 30, 2009, the City identified the following sites which met one of the above obligating events:
Olay Valley
The City was cited by the County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health for exposed burn
ash at Otay Valley within the City limit. The nature of pollution is illegal fill material spreading in the
area. The City is preparing a remedial action plan for the County of San Diego for approval. The
estimated clean-up cost for a two foot cap of clean fill material and monitoring is approximately
$500,000.
Corp Yard
The City was cited for leaking diesel fuel during the removal of tl1e underground storage tank located at
707 F Street, Chula Vista. The City is required to install groundwater monitoring wells and to monitor
for natural attenuation. The City believes that another round of monitoring at the site will be required.
At June 30, 2009, the estimated installation costs of the groundwater monitoring wells and monitoring
activity is approximately $150,000. .
The City purchases pollution and remediation legal liability insurance to cover pollution legal liability,
remediation legal liability, legal defense expense and contingent transportation coverage in tl1e amount of
$10,000,000 per occurrence up to $50,000,000 with a self-insured retention amount of $100,000 per
occurrence. At June 30, 2009, tl1e City recorded pollution remediation obligations in tl1e amount of $650,000
on tl1e Government-Wide Statement of Net Assets and allocated the total amount to General Gcivermnent
on tl1e Govermnent-Wide Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets. Management expects tl1ese
aInounts to be recovered by the insurance.

14. COMMITMENfS AND CONTINGENCIES
The City is presently involved in certain matters of litigation that have arisen in the normal course of
conducting City business. City management believes, based upon consultation with the City Attorney, that
these cases, in tl1e aggregate, are not expected to result in a material adverse fU1ancial impact on the City.
Additionally, City management believes that the City's insurance programs are sufficient to cover any
potential losses should an unfavorable outcome materialize.
The City participates in a number of federally assisted grant programs, including those from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development, U.s. Department of Justice, U.S. Department of Treasury,
U.S. Department of Transportation, and the U.s. Department of Education. Receipts from these grant
programs are subject to audit to determine if the monies were expended U1 accordance with appropriate
statues, grant terms and regulations. The City believes no significant adjustments will result.
The General Fund has loaned an accumulated amount of $694,173 to the Agency for umeimbursed services
rendered by City staff. It is anticipated that the Agency will repay this loan from tax UlCrement revenues.
Currently, tax increment revenues are used to pay for related debt service expenditures and possible future
debt issuances. As a result, tl1e Agency is uncertain if tl1e amount wiII be repaid to the City's General Fund.
Accordu1gly, tl1is contingent payable has not been reported in tl1e accompanying basic financial statements.
The Agency will record the contingent payable when payment is assured.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
State Bud"et Crisis
Subsequent to the financial statements date of June 30, 2009, the State of California enacted legislation to
borrow property tax payments from local goverrullents. Property taxes borrowed by the State for fiscal
year 2009-2010 were nearly $2 billion statewide to help the State's budget shortfall. The amount to be
borrowed from the City is $4,488,610. The deferral of these funds for 3 years would have a significant
impact on the City's General Fund operations and the 2009-2010 Budget. The City has assumed that these
monies would not be available. Legislators 'll1d the Governor promised to allow local agencies to sell their
eventual repayment from the State to investors to cover the property tax and to pay the full cost of the sale,
or securitization. The Governor signed Senate Bill 67 on October 19, 2009 allowing the securitization to
move forward. The City was approved by the City Council to participate in the program.
The State also enacted legislation authorizing a two-year takeaway of Redevelopment Agency funds. The
estimated impact on tile Redevelopment Agency is $4,160,694 in 2009-2010 and $855,797 in 2010-2011. This
takeaway action is being litigated by tile California Redevelopment Association and other parties with hope
that it will be considered unconstitutional as was last year's State proposed takeaway.
In addition to the property tax borrowing and Redevelopment Agency takeaway, the State is deferring gas
tax monies during 2009-2010. Amounts owed for July through September were distributed in October, and
November tilrough March payments are scheduled to be deferred until April 2010. The City uses these
restricted monies for street maintenance and the deferral will result in cash flow impacts for tile General
Fund.
N a tu re Cen ter
As a result of the budget cuts, operations of the Nature Center is scheduled be turned over to Friends of the
Nature Center, a non-profit organization by the end of the fiscal year.
Certificate of Participation
The City is in tile process of refunding the 2000 Certificate of Participation to take advantage of the
prevailing market conditions and realize interest rate savings and! or restructure debt service for cash flow
purposes. The refunding bond will be issued in February 2010 for $10 million.

1. BUDGETARY INFORMATION
An annual budget is adopted by the City Council prior to the first day of the fiscal year. The budget is
prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The budget process includes
submittal of each department's budget request for the next fiscal year, a detailed review of each
department's proposed budget by the City Manager, and a final City Manager recommended budget that is
transmitted to the City Council for its review before the required date of adoption. Once transmitted to the
City Council, the proposed budget is made available for public inspection. A public hearing is held to give
the public the opportunity to comment upon the proposed budget. Notice of such public hearing is given
in a newspaper of general circulation.
The adoption of the budget is accomplished by the approval of a Budget Resolution. The legal level of
budgetary control is at the department level. Any budget modification, which would result in an
appropriation increase, requires City Council approval. The City Manager and Finance Director are jointly
autl10rized to transfer appropriations up to $15,000 witlun a departmental budget. Any appropriation
transfers between departments or greater tl1an $15,000 require City Council approval.
Reported budget figures are as originally adopted or subsequently amended plus prior year continuing
appropriations. Such budget amendments during tl1e year, including those related to supplemental
appropriations, did not cause tl1ese reported budget amounts to be significantly different tl1an the originally
adopted budget amounts. All appropriations wluch are not obligated, encumbered or expended at the end
of tl1e fiscal year lapse and become a part of the unreserved fund balance which may be appropriated for
the next fiscal year.
An annual budget for tl1e year ended June 30, 2009, was adopted and approved by the City Council for the
general, special revenue and debt service funds. These budgets are prepared on tl1e modified accrual basis
of accounting except that encumbrances outstanding at year-end are considered as expenditures. The
budgets of-the capital projects funds are primarily long-term budgets, which emphasize major programs
and capital outlay plans extending over a number of years. Because of tl1e long-term nature of tl1ese
projects, annual budget comparisons are not considered meatungful, and accordingly, no budgetary
information for capital projects funds is included in tl1e accompanying basic financial statements.

1 Includes redevdopment incremental valuation
2 Redevelopment Agency exemptions are included in Gty exemption data as they are not reported separately
NOTE,
In 1978 the voters of the State of California passed Proposition 13 which limited property taxes to a total maximum rate of 1 % based upon the assessed
value of the property being taxed. Each year, the assessed value of property may be increased by an "inflation factor" (limited to a maximum increase
of2%). With few exceptions, property is only re-assessed at the time that it is sold to a new ov.mer. At that point, the new assessed value is reassessed
at the purchase price of the property sold. The assessed valuation data shown above represents the only data currently available ,dth respect to the
actual market value of taxable property and is subject to the limitations de~cribcd above.

The Government Code of the State of California provides for a legal debt limit of
15% of gross assessed valuation. However, this provision was enacted when
assessed valuation was based upon 25% of market value. Effective witn the 1981-82
fiscal year, each parcel is now assessed at 100% of market value (as of the most
recent change in ownership for that parcel). The computations shown above reflect
a conversion of assessed valuation data for each fiscal year from the current full
valuation perspective to the 25% level that was in effect at the time that the legal
debt margin was enacted by tne State of California for local governments located
within the state.

December 7, 2009
Honorable Members of the Agency,
The Basic Financial Statements and Independent Auditor's Report on all projects of the City of Chula
Vista Redevelopment Agency for the year ended June 30, 2008 is presented in accordance with the
Community Redevelopment Law, S 33000 of the Health and Safety Code of the State of California.
The accuracy of the data presented and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all
disclosures, are the responsibility of the Agency. The Report has been prepared in accordance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as prornulgated by the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB). It is believed that the data reported is accurate in all material respects, that it
is presented in a manner designed to fairly represent the financial position and results of operations of the
Agency as measured by the financial activity in its various Funds, and that all disclosures necessary to
enable the reader to gain maximum understanding of the Agency's financial affairs have been included.
Redevelopment Agency Background
Redevelopment Law
Redevelopment in California started in 1945 with the enactment of the California Redevelopment Act,
which gave cities and counties the authority to establish redevelopment agencies. In 1951, the
Community Redevelopment Act was codified and renamed the Community Redevelopment Law under
Health and Safety Code Section 33000, et seq. Most importantly, the authority for Tax Increment
financing was added.
In 1976, the State Legislature imposed a requirement that 20% of the tax increment generated from
project areas must be used to improve the community's supply of affordable housing. In addition, school
districts and community college districts and other taxing entities receive a portion of the redevelopment
tax increment. For redevelopment projects that were adopted before AS 1290, or January 1, 1994, the
Agency negotiated agreements with these taxing entities. However after the enactment of AS1290, the
negotiated separate agreements with each taxing entity were eliminated and implementation of statutory
reimbursement to all taxing entities was implemented.
Tax Increment Primer
Tax Increment is the increase in property taxes within the redevelopment project area that result from
increases in the project area assessed value that exceeds the base year assessed value. This funding
source provides a way to improve an area by enabling redevelopment agencies to issue tax increment
bonds without using general fund monies or raising taxes.
2/6 rOUR IH t\vr.j'~\J[ , CHUI...\ VIS'TA, CAI.IFOR.0!lA <) 1:..-1]0 (i, 1 ~)) ()~11-50~1
Tax Increment is a powerful funding source for redevelopment activities due to the increased percentage
of property tax the Agency is able to retain. In California, property tax is calculated at one-percent of a
property's assessed value. Of this one-percent the City receives approximately $0.15 per dollar
collected. The rest is passed through to other taxing entities (i.e. school districts, County and ERAF).
However with property taxes collected in a redevelopment project area established in 1994 or later, the
City and other taxing entities will still receive their share of base year taxes but the Agency will receive
approximately 60 percent of the tax increment (taxes above base year values) generated in the project
area (i.e. gross tax increment less 20% for low and moderate housing and 20% for AB1290 pass
throughs).

During the 1970's and 1980's the Agency focused on the Town Centre I, Town Centre II and Bayfront
Redevelopment Project Areas. The Agency issued $7.15 million in tax allocation bonds in 1979, $25.0
million in 1984, $38.6 million in 1986 and $11 0 million Certificate of Participation was issued in 1987.
Most of the bond proceeds were used for planning studies or public infrastructure projects that provided a
public benefit. This strategic focus provided infrastructure in the downtown and bay front areas, but
primarily due to a sluggish real estate market, the public investment did not have the intended effect of
spurring major new development in either location. Projects during this period included: (1) streetscape
improvements along Third Avenue; (2) development of a public parking structure in the Park Plaza
development; and (3) removal of junkyards from the bay front.
In the 1990s, the Agency again focused on foundational planning efforts, including adoption of the
Southwest Redevelopment Project Area to address the annexation of the Montgomery area. Added
investment in public improvement projects included the South Bay Court House ($1.3 million), the
Palomar Trolley Center ($776,000) and the Chula Vista Center parking structure ($3.5 million).
The Agency's Merged Project Area was created in August 2000 pursuant to an amendment to the
redevelopment plans of three of the Agency's Project Areas (i.e. Town Centre II, Otay Valley and
Southwest). Subsequently in October 2000, the Agency issued its most recent Tax Allocation Bond in the
amount of $17.0 million.
Also in 2000, a development agreement for the Gateway Chula Vista
Project, a 347,000 square foot upscale office development at the
northwest corner of Third Avenue and "H" Street, was entered into by
the Agency, committing $7.2 million of Agency funds, representing a
shift of focus toward urban core infill opportunities afforded by
changes in the real estate market and renewed interest from
developers. The first of 2 phases is complete and the result is an
increase of tax increment of approximately $400,000 annually.
Over its 30 year life span, the Agency ushered in a few significant
developments including the 1992 redevelopment of properties for the Scripps Hospital expansion on H
Street, the construction of the Rohr Headquarters Building, upgrades to the Chula Vista Center, relocation
of the auto park to Otay Valley Road and land swap for the development of the state Veterans Home in
2001. The Agency also funded the new Chula Vista Police Station in the amount of $5.8 million in the
form of relocation assistance and land acquisition.
iii
The chart below displays the growth of tax increment for the past ten years. It should be noted that in
fiscal year 2002, tax increment decreased due to the devaluation of the South Bay Power Plant by the
State Board of Equalization.

ACCOUNTING SYSTEMS AND BUDGETARY CONTROL
The basic financial statements are presented on an "economic resources" measurement focus and the
accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all of the Agency's assets and liabilities, including capital
assets, as well as infrastructure assets, and long-term liabilities, are included in the accompanying
Statement of Net Assets. The Statement of Activities presents changes in net assets. Under the accrual
basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are
recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred.
All governmental funds are accounted for on a spending or "current financial resources" measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, only current assets and current liabilities
are included on the balance sheet. The Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund
Balances present increases (revenue and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and
other financing uses) in net current assets. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are
recognized in the accounting period in which they become both measurable and available to finance
expenditures of the current period.
In administering the Agency's accounting systems, primary consideration is given to the adequacy of
internal accounting controls, which include an array of administrative procedures. These controls are
designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding the safeguarding of assets
against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, as well as the reliability of financial records for accurate
and fair presentation of financial reports. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost
of specific controis should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived from exercising the controls, and
that this evaluation necessarily involves estimates and judgments by rnanagement. It is believed that the
Agency's internal accounting controls adequately safeguard Agency assets and provide reasonable
assurance of proper recording of financial transactions.
iv
The City Charter charges the Director of Finance with the responsibility to supervise and be responsible
for the disbursement of all monies and have control over all expenditures to ensure that budget
appropriations are not exceeded. The level of budgetary control, that is, the level at which expenditures
are not to exceed Council approved appropriations, is established by department at the category level.
'An encumbrance (commitment) accounting system is utilized as a technique to enhance budgetary
control during the year. Appropriations encumbered (committed) at year end automatically carry forward
and are available to be used for those commitments during the subsequent year while unspent,
unencumbered appropriations lapse at year end and become generally available for re-appropriation the
following year.
INDEPENDENT AUDIT
An independent audit of the A'gency's records is required by Community Redevelopment Law, S 33000 of
the Health and Safety Code of the State of California and was performed for the year ended June 30,
2009 by the certified public accounting firm of Caporicci and Larson. The auditors report on the basic
financial statements and schedules is included in the Financial Section of the Report. In general, the
auditors concluded that the financial statements and schedules referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Agency as of June 30, 2009, and the results of its
operations and cash flows of its proprietary fund types for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. The professionalism and knowledge exhibited by Caporicci
and Larson. during their audit work is greatly appreciated.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Preparation of the Report and more importantly, maintaining the Agency's accounting records in a
manner sufficient to earn the aforementioned auditors opinion is only accomplished with the continuous
concerted effort of each and every staff member in the Finance Department. As such, I express my
sincere appreciation for their dedicated service.
Respectfully,
Jf!~ ~.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors
of the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula Vista
Chula Vista, California
We have audited the acco111panying financial staten1cnts of the government activities and each
major fund of the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula Vista (Agency), a component
unit of the City of Chula Vista, California (City), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2009,
which collectively comprise the Agency's basic financial statements as listed in the foregoing
table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Agency's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the
United States 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
stateluents are free of material misstaten1ent. An audit includes exanlining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the an10unts and disclosures in the financial statelnents. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
Inanagement as ',,"Tell as evaluating t11e overall basic financial statement presentation. vVe
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Subsequent to the financial statements date of June 30, 2009 and the year then ended, the State
of California (State) has proposed taking Redevelopment Agency funds from local
governments. These amounts are very significant to the local governments and may affect their
ongoing operations. Certain lawsuits are in process to stop such State actions. For more detailed
information, see Note 13 attached in the Notes to Basic Financial Statements.
In our opinion, the basic financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the governmental activities and each major fund of the
Agency as of June 30, 2009, and the respective changes in "financial position for the year then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

In accordance with Govemment Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
December 7, 2009, on our consideration of the Agency's internal control over financial reporting

grants. 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 Govemment Auditing Standards and should be read in
conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit
The Agency has not presented the Management's Discussion and Analysis that the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board has determined is necessalY to supplement,
although not required to be part of the basic financial statements.
The accompanying Required Supplementary Information, such as the budgetary information

Supplementary Information. However, we did not audit the information and express no
opinion on the Required Supplementary Information.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the Agency's basic financial statements. The accompanying
Supplementary Information is presented for purpose of additional al1alysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements. The Supplementary Information has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements al1d,
in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole. The Introductory Section has not been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on
the Introductory Section.

Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula Vista
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the year ended June 30,2009
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The basic financial statements of the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula Vista (Agency), a
component unit of the City of Chula Vista, California, (City) have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to govenmlental agencies. The Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing govenunental
accounting and financial reporting principles. The more significant of the City's accounting policies are
described below.
A. Repottillg Elltity
The Agency is considered a blended component unit of the City. The Agency was created by the City of
Chula Vista City Council (City Council) in October 1972. The City Manager acts as the Agency's
Executive Director and the City Council acts as the governing commission, which exerts significant
influence over its operations. The primary purpose of the Agency is to eliminate blighted areas by
encouraging the development of residential, commercial, industrial, recreational and public facilities.
The BayfrontjTown Centre I Project encompasses approximately 775 acres; its general objective is to
redevelop the Bayfront area and the central business district. The goal of the Town Cenh'e II Project,
which consists of approximately 212.5 acres in the central area of Chula Vista, is to revitalize the area
into a principal regional shopping center. The Otay Valley Road Project area, comprising
approximately 770 acres, was created to establish and upgrade infrastructure capital improvements for
the promotion of indush'ial development. The Southwest Project area, comprising approximately 1,100
acres, was created to upgrade the commercial, industrial, residential properties and rights-of-way at a
more rapid pace than would occur without a redevelopment plan.
Funds for redevelopment projects are provided from various sources, including incremental property
tax revenues, tax allocation bonds, and advances from the City.
B. Basis of Accoulltillg alld Measurement Focus
The accounts of the Agency are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate
accounting entity with its own self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund balance,
revenues and expenditures. These funds are established for the purpose of carrying out specific
activities or certain objectives in accordance vv-ith specific regulations, restrictions or limitations.
Government resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purpose
for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled.
Government - Wide Financial Statements
The Agency's Govermnent-Wide Financial Statements include a Statement of Net Assets and a
Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets. These statements present summaries of
governmental activities for the Agency accompanied by a total column. The Agency does not have any
business-type activities, therefore only govermnental activities are reported.

B. Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus, Continued
Government - Wide Financial Statements, Continued
These basic financial statements are presented on an "economic resources" rneasurelnent focus and the
accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all of the Agency's assets and liabilities, i11cluding capital
assets and long-term liabilities, are included in the accompanying Statement of Net Assets. The
Statement of Activities presents changes in net assets. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues
are recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in
which the liability is incurred.
Certain types of transactions reported as program revenues for the Agency are reported in three
categories:
~ Charges for services
>- Operating grants and contributions
>- Capital grants and contributions
Certain eliminations have been made as prescribed by GASB Statement No. 34 in regards to interfund
activities, payables and receivables. The following interfund activities have been eliminated:
~ Due from and to other funds
>- Advances to and from other funds
>- Transfers in and out
Governmental Fund Financial Statements
Governmental fund financial statements include a Balance Sheet and a Statement of Revenues,
Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances for all major governmental funds and non-major funds.
AIl governmental funds are accow1ted for on a spending or current jinancia/1'esou1'ces measurement focus
and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, only current assets and current liabilities are
included on the Balance Sheet. The Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund
Balances presents increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and
other financing uses) in net current assets. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are
recognized in the accounting period in \vhich they become both m.easurable and available to finance
expenditures of the current period.
Revenues are recorded when received in cash, except that revenucs subject to accrual (generally 60 days
after year-end) are recognized when due. The primary revenue sources, \vhich have been treated as
susceptible to accrual by the Agency, are incren1ent property tax, intergovernmental revenues, other
taxes, interest revenue, rental revenue and certain charges for services. Expenditures are recorded in the
accounting period in which the related fund liability is incurred.

Deferred revenues arise when potential revenues do not meet both the "measurable" and "available"
criteria for recognition in the current period. Deferred revenues also arise when the government
receives resources before it has a legal claim to them, as when grant monies are received prior to
incurring qualifying expenditures. In subsequent periods when both revenue recognition criteria are
met or when the government has a legal claim to the resources, the deferred revenue is removed from
the balance sheet and revenue is recognized.
The reconciliations of the Fund Financial Statements to the Government-Wide Financial Statements are
provided to explain the differences created by the integrated approach of GASB Statement No. 34.
The Agency reports the following major governmental funds:
Low /Moderate Income Housing Special Revenue Fund is used to account for tl1e 20% portion of the
Agency's tax increment revenue that is required to be set aside for IoV\,' and moderate income
housing and related expenditures.
RDA Housing Program Special Revenue Fund is used to account for specific revenue tl1at is
required to be used for low and moderate income housing and related expenditures,
Bavfront/Town Cenh'e I Debt Service Fund is used to account for the repayment of interest and
principal on long-term debt, and tl1e accumulation of resources thereof associated witl1 the Bayfront
and Town Centre I Project Areas.
Town Centre II/Otay Vallev/Soutlnvest Merged Projects Debt Service Fund is used to account for
tl1e payment of interest and principal on long-term debt, and tl1e accumulation of resources thereof
associated witl1 tl1e Town Centre II, Otay Valley Road, and Southwest Merged Project Areas.
Bayfront/Town Centre I Capital Proiects Fund is used to account for the financial resources used in

the goal of obtaining the highest yield Willl tlle greatest safety and least risk. Cash in excess of current
requirelnents is invested in various interest-bearing accounts and other investments for varying terms.

Market value is used as fair value for those securities for which market quotations are readily available.
The City participates in an investment pool managed by the State of California titled Local Agency
Investu1ent Fund (LA IF) which has invested a portion of tl1e pooled funds in structured notes and asset-
backed securities. LAIF determines fair value on its investment portfolio based on market quotations
for tl10se securities where market quotations are readily available and based on amortized cost or best
estimate for those securities where market value is not readily available. LAIF's investments are subject
to credit risk witl1 tl1e full faith and credit of the State of California collateralizing tl1ese invesbnents. In
addition, tl1ese investmentq are subject to market risk as to change in interest rates.
Cash equivalents are considered amounts in den1and deposits and short-ternl invesbnents "\vith a
maturity date within tl1Iee months of tl1e date acquired by tl1e Agency and are presented as "Cash and
Investments" in the accompanying basic financial statements.
In accordance witl1 GASB Statement No. 40, Deposit and Investment Risk Disclosures (an amendment of

F. LOllg- Tenll Debt
Govem1Jlel1t-Wide Fillallcial State1Jle11ts
Long-term debt and other financed obligations are reported as liabilities in the Govermnent-Wide
Financial Statements.
Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the
bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of applicable premium or
discount.
Fund Financial Statements
The Fund Financial Statements do not present long-term debt. Consequently, long-term debt is shown
as a reconciling item in the Reconciliation of t11e Governmental Funds Balance Sheet to the Government-
Wide Statement of Net Assets.
G. Property Tax Revellues
Incremental property tax revenues represent property taxes in each project area arising from increased
assessed valuations over base valuations established at t11e inception of t11e project area. Incremental
property taxes from each project area accrue to t11e Agency until all liabilities and commitments of t11e
project area have been repaid (including cumulative funds provided or committed by t11e Agency).
After all such indebtedness has been repaid; all property taxes from the project area revert back to the
various taxing authorities.
Property taxes are levied on March 1 and are payable in two installments: November 1 and February 1
of each year. Property taxes become delinquent on December 10 and April 10, for the first and second
installments, respectively. The lien date is March 1. The County of San Diego, California (County) bills
and collects property taxes and remits t11em to t11e Agency according to a payment schedule established
by the County.
The County is permitted by State law to levy taxes at 1 % of full market value (at time of purchase) and
can increase the property tax rate no more't11an 2% per year. The District receives a share of this basic
tax levy proportionate to what it received during t11e years 1976-1978.
Properly tax revenue is recognized in the fiscal year for which t11e taxes have been levied.
No allov"rance for doubtful accounts v,.,ras considered necessary.

H. Low alld Modemte Tllcome Housillg
The California Health and Safety Code requires Agency project areas to deposit 20% of allocated
incremental property tax revenues (or 20% of net bond proceeds plus 20% of tax incremental revenues
in excess of debt service payments on the bond) into a Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund. This
money is restricted for the purpose of increasing or improving the community's supply of low and
moderate inCOlne housing. The Agency accounts for these revenues in a special revenue fund.
1. Net Assets
[n the Govemment-Wide Financial Statements, net assets are classified in the following categories:
1I1vested in Capital Assets. Net of Related Debt - This amount consists of capital assets net of
accumulated depreciation and reduced by outstanding debt that attributed to the acquisition,
construction, or inlprovement of the assets.
Restricted Net Assets - This amount is restricted by external creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws
or regulations of other goverrunents.
Unrestricted Net Assets - This anlOunt is all net assets that do not meet the definition of "invested in
capital assets, netof related debt" or "restricted net assets."
J. FUlld Ba lallce
In the Fund Financial Statements, reservations of fund balance of govenmlental funds are created to
either satisfy legal covenants, including State laws, that require a porlion of the fund balance be
segregated or identify the portion of the fund balance not available for future expenditures.
K. Use of RestrictedjUllrestricted Net Assets
\IV-hen an expense is incurred for purposes for Vvhich both restricted and unrestricted net assets are
available, the Agency's policy is to apply restricted net assets first.
L. Use of Estimates
The preparation of fillancial statenlents in confonnity 'with generally accepted accQunm"lg principles
requires ll"lanagernent to make estiInates and assulllptions that affect the reported an"lQunts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ froIl"l those estilnates.

M. Implementation of New GASB Pronouncements
In fiscal year 2009, the Agency adopted new accounting standards in order to conform to the following
Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statements;
~ GASB Statement No. 49, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pollution Remediation Obligations
~ GASB Statement No. 52, Land and Other Real Estate Held as Investments by Endowment
" GASB Statement No. 55, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for State and
Local Governments
~ GASB Statement No. 56, Codification of Accounting and Financial Reporting Guidance Contained in
AlCP A Statements on Auditing Standards
CASB Statement No. 49 addresses accounting and financial reporting standards for pollution (including
contamination) remediation obligations, which are obligations to address the current or potential
detrimental effects of existing pollution by participating in pollution remediation activities such as site
assessments and cleanups.
GASB Statement No. 52 improves the quality of financial reporting by requiring endowments to report
their land and other real estate investments at fair value, creating consistency in reporting among
similar entities that exist to invest resources for the purpose of generating income.
GASB Statement No. 55 incorporates the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles (CAAP)
for state and local governments into the GASB's authoritative literature. It is intended to make it easier
for preparers of state and local government financial statements to identify and apply the "CAAP
hierarchy," which consists of sources of accounting principles used in the preparation of financial
statements so that they are presented in conformity with CAAP and the framework for selecting those
principles.
CASB Statement No. 56 incorporates accounting and financial reporting guidance previously only
contained in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) auditing literature into the
GASB's accounting and financial reporting literature for state and local governments. The Statement
No. 56 guidance addresses three issues from the AICPA's literature-related party transactions, going
concern considerations, and subsequent events.

The Agency invests in the Local Agency Inveshnent Fund (LA IF), a State of California inveshnent pool.
LAIF determines fair value on its investment portfolio based on market quotations for those securities
where market quotations are readily available and based on amortized cost or best estimate for those
securities where market value is not readily available.
The Agency valued its inveshnents in LA IF as of June 30, 2009, at amortized cost which approximate the
fair value. The fair value is calculated by multiplying the account balance with LAIF times a fair value
factor of 1.001364207 which is determined by LAIF. This fair value factor was determined by dividing all
LAIF participants' total aggregate amortized cost by total aggregate fair value.
The Agency's inveshnents with Local Agency Investment FWlds (LAIF) at June 30, 2009, included a portion of
the pooled funds invested in Structured Notes and Asset-Backed Securities. 111ese inveshnents included the

In July 2008, the Agency refunded the 2000 Tax Allocation Bonds in the amount of $15,110,000 with the
$21,625,000 2008 Tax Allocation Bonds. The net proceeds of $20,409,050 were used to purchase direct
obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States are pledged. These securities were
deposited in an irrevocable trust with an escrow agent to provide for all future debt service payments of the
refunded debt. As a result, a portion of these bonds were considered defeased and removed from the City's
long-term debt. At June 30, 2009, the outstanding balance of the defeased portion of the Tax Allocation
Bonds was $15,110,000.
Pledged Revenues
The Agency has pledged tax revenues to the repayment of the Agency's debts through the final maturity of

Tax revenues consist of tax increnlent revenues allocated to the Agency's project areas pursuant to Section
33670 of the Redevelopment Law excluding that portion of such tax increment revenues required to be paid
under Tax-Sharing Agreements unless the payment of such amounts has been subordinated to payment of
debt services on the Bonds. Tax increment received in 2008-2009 was $13,781,681 and total debt service of all
Tax Allocation Bonds paid was $3,362,522. The Bonds required 25% of net revenues. In future years,
arumal principal and interest payments on the Tax Allocation Bonds are expected to require 31 % of tax
increnlent revenues.

A. Litigation
In addition, the Agency is a defendant in certain legal actions arising in the normal course of operations.
In the opinion of management, any liabilities resulting from actions, except for those already disclosed,
will not have a material adverse effect on the Agency's financial position.
B, Commitment to the City's General Fund
The City's General Fund has loaned a cumulative amount of $694,173 to the Agency for unreimbursed
services rendered by City staff, It is anticipated that the Agency will repay this Joan from tax increment
revenues. Currently, tax increment revenues are used to pay for related debt service expenditures and
possible future debt issuance, As a result, the Agency is uncertain if the amount will be repaid to the
City's General Fund. Accordingly, this contingent payable has not been reported in accompanying
basic financial statements. The Agency will record the contingent payable when payment is assured

coverage, which is administered by the City. The Agency pays an amount to the City representing an
estimate of amounts to be paid for reported claims incurred and unreported claims based upon past
experience, modified for current trends and information.
While the ultimate losses incurred through June 3D, 2009, are dependent upon future developments, the
Agency's management believes that amounts paid are sufficient to cover such losses. Premiums paid by the
Agency for the year ended June 3D, 2009, were $15,688.
Citywide information concerning risks, insurance policy limits, deductible and designation of general fund
balance for the year ended June 3D, 2009, may be found in the notes of the City's basic financial statements.

State Bud~et Crisis
Subsequent to the financial statements date of June 30, 2009, the State of California (State) enacted
legislation authorizing a two-year takeaway of Redevelopment Agency funds. The estimated impact on the
Redevelopment Agency is $4,160,694 in 2009-2010 and $855,797 in 2010-2011. These amounts were assumed
in the 2009-2011 Budget. This takeaway action is being litigated by the California Redevelopment
Association and other parties with hope that it will be considered unconstitutional as was last year's State
proposed takeaway.

REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION

Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula Vista
Required Supplementary Information
For the year ended June 30, 2009
1. BUDGETARY INFORMATION
An annual budget is adopted by the Board of Directors prior to the first day of the fiscal year. The budget
process includes submittal of each department's budget request for the next fiscal year, a detailed review of
each department's proposed budget by the Executive Director, and a final Executive Director recommended
budget that is transmitted to the Board of Directors for its review before the required date of adoption.
Once transmitted to the Board of Directors, the proposed budget is made available for public inspection. A
public hearing is held to give the public the opportunity to comment upon the proposed budget. Notice of
such public hearing is given in a newspaper of general circulation.
The adoption of the budget is accomplished by the approval of a Budget Resolution. The legal level of
budgetary control is at the department level. Any budget modification, which would result in an
appropriation increase, requires Board of Directors approval. The Executive Director and Finance Director
are jointly authorized to transfer appropriations within a departmental budget. Any appropriation
b.ansfers between deparbnents require Board of Directors approval.
Reported budget figures are as originally adopted or subsequently amended plus prior year continuing
appropriations. Such budget amendments during the year, including those related to supplemental
appropriations, did not cause tl1ese reported budget amounts to be significantly different tl1al1 the originally
adopted budget amounts. All appropriations which are not obligated, encumbered or expended at the end
of tl1e fiscal year lapse become a part of the unreserved fund balance which may be appropriated for the
next fiscal year.
An alillual budget for the year ended June 30, 2009, was adopted and approved by the Board of Directors
for tl1e special revenue and debt service funds. These budgets are prepared on the modified accrual basis of
accounting except that encumbrances outstanding at year-end are considered as expenditures. The budgets
of tl1e capital projects funds are primarily long-term budgets, which emphasize major programs and capital
outlay plans extending over a number of years. Because of tl1e long-term nature of these projects, arumal
budget comparisons are not considered meaningful, and accordingly, no budgetary information for capital
projects funds is included in the accompanying basic financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS AND
ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING BASED ON AN AUDIT
OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STAiVDARDS
To the Board of Directors
of the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula Vista
Chula Vista, California
We have audited the basic financial statements of the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula
Vista (Agency), a component unit of the City of Chula Vista, California (City), as of and for the year
ended June 30,2009, and have issued our report thereon dated December 7, 2009. We conducted our
audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States and the
standards applicable to financial audits contained in GoVe1'11mel1t Auditil1g Stal1dards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Agency's basic financial statements are
free of material misstatements, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provision of laws,
regulations, contracts and grants, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect
on the determination of basic financial statement amounts. Such provisions included those
provisions of laws identified in the Guidelil1es for Complial1ce Audits of Califomia Redevelopmel1t
Agel1cies, issued by the State Controller and as interpreted in the Suggested Auditil1g Procedures for
Accomplishil1g Complial1ce Audits of Califomia Redevelopmel1t Agel1cies, issued by the Governmental
Accounting and Auditing Committee of the California Society of Certified Public Accountants.
Hov\'ever, proyiding an opinion on cOll1pliance with those provisions ,".ras 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 Govemmellt Auditil1g Stal1dards.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In plarming and performing our audit, we considered the Agency's internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing our audit procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on
the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Agency's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Agency's internal control over financial reporting.
A cOl1trol deficiel1CY exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or
employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect
rnisstatelne~1ts on a tin1ely basis.
A sigl1ifical1t deficiel1cy is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely
affects the Agency's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in
accordance \vith generally accepted accounting principles such that there is lTIOre than a remote
likelihood that a misstatement of the Agency's basic financial statements that is more than
inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the Agency's internal conb'oJ.

A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in
more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the basic financial statements will not
be prevented or detected by the Agency's internal control.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described
in the first paragraph and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might
be significant deficiencies and, accordingly, would not necessarily disclose all significant deficiencies
that are also considered to be material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal
control over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.
This report is intended for the information of the Board of Directors, managements, State Controller's
Office and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specific parties.
However, this report is a matter of public record and its distribution is not limited.
