SUBJECT: COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR
ENDED JUNE 30TH 2013
SUMMARY:
The City engages an independent certified public accounting firm to complete an annual
audit of the City's financial records. There are a number of reports such as the
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), produced as a result of the annual
audit and there are actions that are required by the City's governing board (City Council)
to meet the requirements of various auditing standards, such as meeting with the
auditing firm that conducted the audit to discuss the audit and internal control issues.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Receive and file the CAFR for the year ended June 30, 2013.
2. Discuss the audit and internal controls with the independent certified public
accounting firm, White Nelson Diehl Evans LLP, who conducted the audit.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The independent certified public accounting firm that the City contracted with to
complete the annual audit is White Nelson Diehl Evans LLP. Total cost of the annual
audit is $42,000. Of this amount, $4,000 was charged to the Successor Agency for the
Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency (Successor Agency); $12,600 was charged
to the Water Enterprise fund; and $25,400 was charged to the General Fund.
BACKGROUND:
The reports that are produced for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013 are the CAFR; the
City State Controllers report; and the report of the auditors' consideration of *the City's
internal control over financial reporting and on their tests of its compliance with certain
provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements and other matters. Due to
reduced federal funding, a Single Audit was not required for the fiscal year ending June
30, 2013.
The CAFR consists of a transmittal letter, independent auditor's report, management's
discussion and analysis (MD & A); basic financial statements; notes to the financial
statements; supplementary information and a statistical section. The City implemented
Governmental Accounting Standards Board's (GASB) Statement No. 63, "Financial

Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources, and Net
Position ". The adoption of this standard also provides a new statement of net position
format to report all assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of
resources, and net position. The MD & A presents an overview of the basic financial
statements and what each section consists of and discusses financial highlights for the
year ended June 30, 2013.
General Fund financial highlights for the year ended June 30, 2013 are as follows:
• The City's General Fund total expenditures were $54.8 million, $2.1 million more
than prior year's expenditures. The primary reason for the increase is due to the
legal settlement with Key Bank of $2.1 million for the resolution of a $53 million lien
on property within the former Marine Corps Air Station referred to as the Tustin
Legacy that reverted back to the City when its business relationship with the former
master developer, Tustin Legacy Community Partnership, dissolved.
• General Fund revenues were $56.6 million, $0.8 million less than prior fiscal year.
Taxes increased $4.8 million from prior year primarily due to sales tax revenues of
$21.6 million reflecting a $1.7 million increase from prior year due to the increase in
automobile sales. Property tax revenue increased $2.6 million from prior fiscal year
due primarily due to receiving $1.8 million in property tax residual payments from
allocation of former Redevelopment tax increment. The increase in taxes was
offset with the decrease in intergovernmental revenues of $4.7 million from prior
year due to the decrease in the amount the Successor Agency reimbursed the
General Fund for an outstanding obligation for third party costs incurred for the
extension of Newport Avenue. Charges for services and other revenue decreased
a total of $0.9 million from prior year primarily due to the decrease in workers
compensation contributions as the reserves were adequate and due to the
decrease in equipment replacement contributions from other funds and.
departments as it was determined the reserves for that fund were adequate.
• Other Financing Sources (Uses) increased $42.3 million from prior fiscal year
primarily due to sale of land held for resale within the Tustin Legacy. Total revenues
and transfers in of $99 million exceeded total expenditures of $55 million, by $44
million. Therefore, the General Fund's fund balance of $148.6 million as of June 30,
2012 increased to $192.9 million as of June 30, 2013. Of the $192.9 million,
$128.9 million are nonspendable funds primarily due to a total of $128.8 million in
land held for resale; $19.6 million are restricted funds and $44.3 million are
unassigned and /or spendable funds not contained in other classifications.
Other Financial Highlights for the year ended June 30, 2013 are as follows:
• The City's assets, which encompass all governmental and business type activities
(i.e. General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Capital Projects Funds and the Water
Enterprise Fund) and deferred out flows of resources as of June 30, 2013,
exceeded its liabilities by $695 million (net position). Net position consists of $456

million net investment in capital assets, $54.4 million in restricted net position and
$184.6 million in unrestricted net position.
• The City's total net position increased by $59.3 million primarily due to the gain on
sale of assets of $43.3 million. The assets sold were land held for resale in the
Tustin Legacy area and land held for resale along the 55 freeway and Edinger
Avenue.
• The net increase in the City's total long -term liabilities was $2.6 million. The $2.6
million net increase is primarily due to the $2.0 million liability to fund an annuity the
City purchased to fund an early retirement incentive program.
A more thorough discussion of the financial activities for the year ended June 30, 2013 is
presented in the MD & A.
The City did not have any audit findings and there were two material misstatements that
staff corrected relating to an adjustment due to the refunding of bonds and an adjustment
regarding a receivable from the Successor Agency.
