Honorable Board of Directors
Otay Water District
I am pleased to present the Otay Water District’s (the “District”) Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.
This report was prepared by the District’s Finance Department following guidelines set forth by
the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP). Responsibility for both the accuracy of the data presented, and the
completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with District
management. We believe the data, as presented, is accurate in all material respects and that it is
presented in a manner that provides a fair representation of the financial position and results of
operation of the District. Included are all disclosures we believe necessary to enhance your
understanding of the financial condition of the District. GAAP requires 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), which should be
read in conjunction with this report. The District’s MD&A can be found immediately following
the Independent Auditors’ Report.
The District’s financial statements have been audited by Diehl, Evans & Company, LLP, a firm
of licensed certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit was to provide
reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the District 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
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 reasonable basis for rendering an unqualified opinion that the District’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.
REPORTING ENTITY
The District is a publicly-owned water and sewer agency, authorized on January 27, 1956 as a
California special district by the State Legislature, with an entitlement to import water under the
provisions of the Municipal Water District Act of 1911. Its ordinances, policies, taxes, and rates
for service are set by five Directors, elected by voters in their respective divisions, to serve
staggered four-year terms on its Governing Board. The District is a “revenue neutral” public
1
agency, meaning that each end-user pays only their fair share of the District’s costs of water
acquisitions and the construction, operation and maintenance, betterment, and renewal and
replacement of the public water and sewer facilities.
The General Manager reports directly to the Board of Directors and, through two Assistant
General Managers and the District management, oversees day-to-day operations. One Assistant
General Manager oversees the departments of Administrative Services, Finance, Information
Technology and Strategic Planning, while the other oversees the Water Operations and
Engineering departments. These and other lines of reporting are shown on the organization chart
on page 9.
Over the last 53 years, the District has grown from a handful of customers and two employees to
become an organization operating a network with more than 923 miles of pipelines, 42
operational reservoirs, a reclaimed water facility, and one of the largest recycled water
distribution networks in San Diego County. The character of the service area has also changed
from predominantly dry-land farming and cattle ranching, to businesses, high-tech industries,
and large master-planned communities.
Today the District provides water service to nearly 47,125 potable and 683 recycled customers
within approximately 125.5 square miles of southeastern San Diego County. All of the potable
water sold to customers is purchased
from the San Diego County Water
Authority (CWA). Much of this water
is purchased from the region’s water
importer, the Metropolitan Water
District of Southern California (MWD).
The District also has begun purchasing
raw water from CWA and having it
treated by the neighboring Helix Water
District, at their Levy Water Treatment
Plant. This action has brought regional
water treatment closer to our customers
and reduced dependence on water
treatment located outside of San Diego
proper.
The District also owns and operates a wastewater collection and recycling system to provide
public sewer service to approximately 4,640 homes and businesses within portions of the
communities of La Mesa, Rancho San Diego, El Cajon, Jamul, and Spring Valley. Wastewater
collected is conveyed to the District’s Ralph W. Chapman Water Recycling Facility
(RWCWRF), which is capable of reclaiming wastewater at a rate of 1.3 million gallons per day.
The District also purchases up to 6 million gallons per day of recycled water from the City of
San Diego’s South Bay Reclamation Plant. Recycled water from these two sources is used to
irrigate golf courses, schools, public parks, roadway landscapes, and various other approved uses
in eastern Chula Vista. The use of recycled water reduces dependency on imported supplies and
provides a local supply, thereby diversifying District resources.

Balanced Scorecard
MISSION, CURRENT ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, AND OUTLOOK
The mission of the District is to provide customers with the best quality water, wastewater, and
recycled water service in a professional, effective, and efficient manner. As in past years, we
again face several key challenges. These challenges include: an economy in recession and
continuing instability in the financial markets; ongoing home foreclosures; reduced rainfall
throughout the Southwest; water shortages brought about by legal action to reduce water
deliveries from the Sacramento – San Joaquin Bay Delta; and the higher cost of imported water.
Given these uncertain times, the District must find the best solutions that balance the many
expectations placed on it by its customers. Meeting our customers’ expectations requires
dedication, a commitment to continuous improvement, and the innovative use of technologies
and resources.
While overall growth in San Diego County has slowed over the last three years, population
within the District’s service area continues to increase albeit at a much reduced rate. As of July
2009, it is estimated that the District served 195,000 residents. The San Diego Association of
Governments (SANDAG), the regional planning agency, has estimated the District’s growth will
continue for a decade or more. The District projects an ultimate customer population of 277,000
residents.
BUDGET SUMMARY
The District’s Fiscal Year 2009 budget is $113 million, with operating expenditures of $75.7
million and capital expenditures of $37.3 million. The District’s goal is to provide the most
effective and efficient service possible while maintaining affordability of the water supply for the
community.
The Otay Water District’s operating expenditures consist of three major sectors: potable water,
recycled water, and sewer, totaling $75,716,500 for Fiscal Year 2010. Revenues from potable
and recycled water are projected to be $64,077,000, about $8.5 million (15.3%) more than Fiscal
Year 2009. Water sales volumes are expected to decrease as a result of the slowing economy
and expanded efforts to promote water conservation, however, rate increases are essential to
offset the higher cost of water. Sewer revenues are projected to be $2,244,800, about $99,500
more than Fiscal Year 2009, because of necessary rate increases. The remaining revenue of $9.4
million comes from special fees and assessments and miscellaneous income.
Significant aspects of the Operating Budget are:
• A balanced budget meeting the goals of the Strategic Plan.
• An updated six-year Rate Model to ensure sound financial planning and reserve levels.
• Unprecedented water supply rate increases of 21.1% from MWD and 18.1% from CWA
because of the high cost of supply programs, higher energy and higher operating costs.
• Implemented rate increases in potable, recycled water, and sewer. This included pass-
through rate increases from CWA, and County of San Diego.
• Expanded residential, landscape, and commercial water conservation programs.
3
• In response to the economic slowdown, the District has again reduced staffing levels
from 169 full time equivalents to 166. It also cut operating expenditures by $793,100 due
to program funding changes and other discretionary spending cuts.
• Of San Diego County’s 23 water agencies, Otay’s water rate is the eighth-lowest and
below the county-wide average.
The 2009-2010 Capital Improvement Budget (CIP) consists of 87 projects and a budget of $37.3
million. The budget emphasizes long-term planning for on-going programs while functioning
within fiscal constraints and population growth. This year’s CIP budget was increased by $10.5
million, compared to last year’s projection, due to new water supply projects.
BUDGETING CONTROLS
The District views the budget as an essential tool for proper financial management. The budget
is developed with input from the various departments of the organization and is adopted prior to
the start of each fiscal year. It is designed and presented for the general needs of the District, its
staff, and customers. It is a comprehensive and balanced financial plan that features District
services, resources and their allocation, financial policies, and other useful information to allow
the users to gain a general understanding of the District’s financial status and future. Monthly
comparison reports of budget to actual are prepared and distributed along with variance
explanations to all department heads, with top level information provided to the Board at the
monthly board meetings.
STRATEGIC PLAN
The primary way to achieve our objectives is to improve all aspects of our core business
processes. The main tool we will continue to use is the Strategic Business Plan. The District
adopted its first Strategic Plan in 2003, and has updated it every three years. It is reviewed
quarterly by management and semi-annually by the Board. This year it was updated for the 2009
through 2011 timeframe.
Efficiency improvements have become the new competitive advantage for utilities. As a result,
the theme of the 2009 through 2011 Strategic Plan is to capitalize on the technology investments
we have made and to utilize these technologies to continue to improve productivity and
efficiency.
The Strategic Plan also carries forth the District’s
transformation from a growth-centric to a
maintenance-based organization. Where capital and
developer fees supported growth for many years, today
we have become equally focused in managing long-
term maintenance and replacement of our
infrastructure.
This necessary change is illustrated by the business
maturity curve. During high growth, we focus on
4
achieving the macro targets of building and installing new infrastructure. In the future, however,
fewer resources are needed to support slowing growth, but the effort to maintain and improve
infrastructure and assets increases. In future years the District will also derive income more from
rates and less from fees. Consequently, increased costs place pressure on rates more directly.
Therefore, to balance the customer’s interest in minimizing rate increases while also maintaining
its infrastructure investments and our strong financial position, the District will emphasize
internal efficiency and development of technology assisted best practices. In effect, we will use
our investments in technology to do more with the same or even fewer resources.
The Future
The coming years will continue to be challenging times for those in California’s water
community. After years of record low precipitation that dramatically curtailed snow runoff from
the Sierra Nevada Mountains, California’s governor declared an official statewide drought.
Following the governor’s action, Southern California’s largest water wholesaler, MWD,
announced a water supply alert across its six-county service area. It also urged all local
jurisdictions to implement water conservation ordinances and to “significantly increase efforts”
to conserve water.
In addition to the governor’s declaration,
federal court orders have curtailed water
deliveries from Northern California due to
environmental factors in the Sacramento-San
Joaquin Bay Delta. Worsening environmental
conditions in the Bay Delta now challenge
Southern California’s ability to receive water
from the State Water Project. A political
stalemate in the state capital has also made
finding compromise or addressing the
environmental issues in the Bay Delta more
difficult. These factors combined are driving
higher costs for water across the state.
Through foresight and its investments in recycled water, conservation, and a water rate structure
that rewards conservation, the Otay Water District has thus far avoided having to require
mandatory water conservation. Rather, the District has achieved its water conservation goals
using voluntary measures. As you would expect, the planned water sales reductions have
impacted price and will continue to affect the District’s finances. Staff continues working
diligently to address the financial impacts of conservation as it prepares for the possibility of a
severe water shortage and prolonged sales reductions.
With these factors in mind, our success as an organization is vastly enhanced by the practices
and policies put in place by the Board of Directors to ensure the strength and stability of the
District as we move forward into uncertain times. We are fully confident that, with the policies
and practices put in place by the Board, supported by dedicated and talented staff, we will

achieve continued success as an organization and assure the well-being of the customers we
serve.
ACCOUNTING SYSTEM
The Finance Department is responsible for providing financial services to the District, including
financial accounting, reporting, payroll, accounts payable, investment of funds, billing and
collection of water and wastewater charges, taxes, and other revenues. The District’s books and
records are maintained on an enterprise basis, matching revenues against the costs of providing
services. Revenues and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis in the period in which
revenue is earned and expenses are incurred.
INTERNAL CONTROLS
Otay Water District operates within a system of internal controls established and continually
reviewed by management. This provides reasonable assurance that assets are adequately
safeguarded and transactions are recorded correctly according to District policies and procedures.
When establishing or reviewing controls, management must consider the cost of the control and
the value of the benefit derived from its utilization. Management normally maintains and
implements all sensitive controls and those controls whose value adequately exceeds their cost.
Management believes the District’s internal controls, procedures, and policies adequately
safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance of proper recording of financial transactions.
In addition, the District maintains controls to provide for compliance with all finance related
legal and contractual provisions. Management believes the activities reported within the
presented Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) comply with these finance related
legal and contractual provisions, including bond covenants and fiduciary responsibilities.
CASH MANAGEMENT
During the year, available funds are invested in eligible securities, as required by law, and in
accordance with the District’s own investment policy adopted by the Board of Directors. The
investment objectives of the District, in order of priority, are: 1) to preserve the capital of the
portfolio; 2) to maintain adequate liquidity to meet cash flow requirements; and 3) to obtain a
reasonable rate of return without compromising the first two objectives.
RISK MANAGEMENT
In 2003, the District became a member of the Special District Risk Management Authority
(SDRMA), a pool program which provides the District's coverage for property, auto, liability,
health benefits, and workers’ compensation claims. During Fiscal Year 2008-2009, the District
continued its proactive liability risk management role through careful monitoring of losses and
designing and implementing programs to minimize risks and losses. In addition, the District’s
Safety Committee analyzes workers’ compensation issues by monitoring work conditions, and
organizing and implementing safety training programs to reduce employee exposure to hazards.
6
PENSION PLANS
In addition to participating in Social Security, the District provides a defined benefit pension
plan for its employees through the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS).
The District contributes a specified percentage of covered employees’ payroll, which is invested
by CalPERS. Upon retirement, District employees are entitled to a specified retirement benefit.
The plan is more fully described in Note 7 to the Financial Statements.
OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB)
The District provides other post-employment benefits (OPEB) as a part of the total compensation
offered to attract and retain the services of qualified employees. OPEB includes healthcare and
other forms of benefits (for example life insurance), in addition to the benefits provided from
specific pension plans. During Fiscal Year 2007-2008 the District elected to set up an OPEB
trust fund with CalPERS and pre-funded $5.6 million of its net OPEB obligations, approximately
half of the actuarial accrued liability, as of the latest actuarial projection, dated June 30, 2007.
The District has also designated an additional $5.8 million to allow for significant funding of the
remaining obligations. For additional information see Note 8 to the Financial Statements.
AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA)
awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to Otay Water
District for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended June
30, 2008. This was the fifth consecutive year that the District has achieved this prestigious
award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government agency 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.
The District also received a Distinguished Budget
Presentation Award from the GFOA for the District’s
Operating and Capital Budget for Fiscal Year beginning
July 1, 2008, as well as two awards from the CSMFO for
Excellence in Operating Budgeting and Excellence in
Capital Budgeting. These prestigious awards recognize
conformance with the highest standards for preparation of
state and local government financial reports.

presented Otay Water District and Infrastructure
7
Engineering Corporation the 2008 Outstanding Civil Engineering Project for Water
Supply/Waste Water Treatment & Reuse for the 640 Reservoirs. Additionally, the Construction
Management Association of America (CMAA) presented Otay Water District the 2009 Project
Achievement Award for the 640-1 and 640-2 Reservoirs to recognize outstanding achievement in
the practice of construction management.
The Otay Water District’s Information Technology and Strategic Planning Department was
awarded the Best of California, Leadership and Excellence Award for 2008 from the Center for
Digital Government, and the Excellence in IT Practices Award from the Municipal Information

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
Otay Water District
Spring Valley, California
We have audited the accompanying basic financial statements of Otay Water District as of and for the year
ended June 30, 2009, as listed in the table of contents. These basic financial statements are the responsibility of
the Otay Water District’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audit. The basic financial statements of Otay Water District as of June 30, 2008, were audited by
other auditors whose report dated October 24, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the State Controller’s Minimum Audit Requirements for California Special Districts. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit 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 opinion.
In our opinion, the basic financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Otay Water District as of June 30, 2009, and the results of its operations and cash flows
for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America as well as the accounting systems prescribed by the California State Controller's Office and State
regulations governing Special Districts.
The Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the other required supplementary information identified in the
accompanying table of contents are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 it.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the District’s basic financial statements. The
Introductory and Statistical Sections are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part
of the basic financial statements. 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 them.

As management of the Otay Water District (the “District”), we offer readers of the District’s financial statements this
narrative overview and analysis of the District’s financial performance during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. Please
read it in conjunction with the District’s financial statements that follow Management’s Discussion and Analysis. All
amounts, unless otherwise indicated, are expressed in millions of dollars.
Financial Highlights
• The assets of the District exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $460.3 million
(net assets). Of this amount, $69.9 million (unrestricted net assets) may be used to meet the District’s ongoing
obligations to citizens and creditors.
• The District’s total net assets increased by $3.5 million. This is primarily attributable to capital contributions of
$7.0 million during the fiscal year.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the District’s basic financial statements, which are
comprised of the following: 1) Statement of Net Assets, 2) Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets,
3) Statement of Cash Flows, and 4) Notes to the financial Statements. This report also contains other supplementary
information in addition to the basic financial statements.
The Statement of Net Assets presents information on all of the District’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 District is improving or weakening.
The Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets presents information showing how the District’s net
assets changed during the most recent 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 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).
The Statement of Cash Flows presents information on cash receipts and payments for the fiscal year.
The Notes to the Financial Statements provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data
supplied in each of the specific financial statements listed above.
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required
supplementary information concerning the District’s progress in funding its obligation to provide pension benefits to its
employees.
Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of an entity’s financial position. In the case of the
District, assets exceeded liabilities by $460.3 million at the close of the most recent fiscal year.
By far the largest portion of the District’s net assets, $382.4 million (83%), reflects its investment in capital assets, less any
related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The District uses these capital assets to provide services to
citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the District’s investment in its capital
assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from
other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

Total Net Assets $ 460.3 $ 456.8 $ 447.0
At the end of FY-2009 the District is able to report positive balances in all categories of net assets. This situation also held
true for the prior two fiscal years. In FY-2009 total Net Assets increased approximately $3.5 million, to $460.3 million, as
compared to FY-2008 when Net Assets increased by over $9.8 million. While the District’s operations and population
continue to grow, albeit at slower rates than in prior years, the pattern of reduced growth of the District’s Net Assets is
indicative of the reduction in new development projects within the District. This reduction is a result of the ongoing national
housing slump and financial crisis.
The decrease in Current and Other Assets of $15.9 million in FY-2008 corresponds with the increase in Capital Assets of
$22.4 million (net of accumulated depreciation), due to the District’s substantial Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), which was
financed in part by the issuance of $42 million in Certificates of Participation (COPS-2007). (See Note 5 in the Notes to
Financial Statements). In FY-2009 use of the COPS-2007 funds to finance the CIP program continued, contributing to the
increase in Capital Assets of $7.4 million. The use of the COPS-2007 funds is also reflected in the decrease of Current and
Other Assets of $9.4 million. (See Note 3 in the Notes to Financial Statements).

Water Sales increased by $2.2 million in FY-2008 and $1.6 million in FY-2009, mainly due to reduced rainfall during both
years as well as rate increases in both years. Growth also had a partial impact, with new water meter sales of 220 and 158
meters respectively. Despite a prolonged reduction in market rates of return, Non-operating Revenues increased by $2.5
million in FY-2008 and an additional $0.4 million in FY-2008, due to the increased level of investments from the COPS-
2007, increased property tax revenues, and healthcare reimbursements from CalPERS for other post employment benefits
(OPEB). (See Note 8 in the Notes to Financial Statements).
Depreciation Expense increased by $2.2 million in FY-2008, due to a comprehensive review and write-off of long-term fixed
assets that were obsolete and/or no longer serviceable. Other Operating Expense increased by approximately $4.6 million in
FY-2008 and another $0.5 million in FY-2009 as a result of the cost of the additional water sold each year, as well as
increases in outside services and higher pension costs. Non-operating Expense increased $1.6 million in FY-2008 and an
additional $0.2 million in FY-2009 due to increased interest expense from the COPS-2007.
Capital Contributions were $26.5 million in FY-2007 due to the completion of several developer construction projects.
However, because of the nationwide housing mortgage crisis throughout the last 2 years, developers have either slowed-down
or totally stopped work on as many projects as possible until economic conditions improve and the demand for growth
returns, resulting in a decrease in Capital Contributions of $11.6 million in FY-2008 and $7.9 million in FY-2009.

Capital Assets and Debt Administration
Capital Assets. The District’s capital assets as of June 30, 2009, totaled $454.1 million (net of accumulated depreciation).
Included in this amount is land. The total increase in the District’s capital assets was 5.3% for FY-2008 and 1.7% in FY-
2009.

As indicated by figures in the table above, the majority of capital assets added during both fiscal years were related to the
potable and recycled water systems. In addition, the majority of the cost of construction in progress is also related to these
water systems.
Additional information on the District’s capital assets can be found in Note 3 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
Long-term Debt. At June 30, 2009, the District had $79.1 million in outstanding debt which consisted of the following:
General Obligation Bonds $ 7.3
Certificates of Participation 61.5
Notes Payable 0.3
Total Long-term Debt $ 69.1
Additional information on the District’s long-term debt can be found in Note 5 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year 2009-2010 Budget
Economic Factors
Growth in the San Diego area has slowed over the last 2 years, and demand for housing is reflected in a similarly reduced
pace. Water sales volumes are expected to decrease as a result of the slowing economy and expanded efforts to promote
water conservation, however, rate increases are essential to offset the higher cost of water. Ultimately, the District is
projected to serve approximately 277,000 people, with an average daily demand of 56 million gallons per day (MGD). The
District currently provides water service to about 70% of its total projected population, serving approximately 195,000
people. Long-term, this percentage should continue to increase as the District's service area continues to develop and
grow.
The District is projected to deliver approximately 33,300 acre-feet of water to 47,125 potable customer accounts during
Fiscal Year 2009-2010. Management feels that these projections are very realistic after accounting for low growth, supply
changes, and a focus on conservation. Current economic conditions throughout America have created an unprecedented
uncertainty for business and economic projections in the current fiscal year. The nationwide housing mortgage crisis has
resulted in hundreds of foreclosures throughout the District. Additionally, the crisis in the banking and financial industry
has begun to have a ripple effect of employee layoffs across a wide swath of the business community. One of the
subsequent results of these two broad events is the relocation of many homeowners and renters into new housing
arrangements throughout San Diego County. However, as housing patterns change throughout the District, people’s need
for water remains an underlying constant.
Financial
The coming years will continue to be challenging times for those in California’s water community. After years of record
low precipitation that dramatically curtailed snow runoff from the Sierra Nevada Mountains, California’s governor
declared an official statewide drought. Following the governor’s action, Southern California’s largest water wholesaler
announced a water supply alert across its six-county service area. It also urged all local jurisdictions to implement water
conservation ordinances and to “significantly increase efforts” to conserve water. In addition to the drought, federal court
orders have curtailed water deliveries from Northern California due to environmental factors in the Sacramento-San
Joaquin Bay Delta. Worsening environmental conditions in the Bay Delta now challenge Southern California’s ability to
receive water from the State Water Project. A political stalemate in the state capital has also made finding compromise or
addressing the environmental issues in the Bay Delta more difficult. These factors combined are driving higher costs for
water across the state.
Through foresight and its investments in drought-proof recycled water, conservation, and a water rate structure that
rewards conservation, the Otay Water District has thus far avoided having to require mandatory water conservation.
Rather, the District has achieved its water conservation goals using voluntary measures. As you would expect, the planned
water sales reductions have impacted price and will continue to affect the District’s finances. Staff continues working
diligently on developing new water supplies as it addresses the financial impacts of conservation, preparing for the
possibility of a severe water shortage and prolonged sales reductions.
Management is unaware of any other conditions that could have a significant past, present, or future impact on the
District’s current financial position, net assets or operating results.

1) REPORTING ENTITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A) Reporting Entity
Otay Water District (the “District”) is a public entity established in 1956 pursuant to the Municipal Water District Law of
1911 (Section 711 et. Seq. of the California Water Code) for the purpose of providing water and sewer services to the
properties in the District. The District is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of five directors elected by
geographical divisions based on District population for a four-year alternating term.
B) Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
The basic financial statements of the Otay Water District have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the
accepted standard setting body for governmental accounting financial reporting purposes.
The District reports its activities as an enterprise fund, which is used to account for operations that are financed and
operated in a manner similar to a private business enterprise, where the intent of the District is that the costs
(including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or
recovered primarily through user charges. Revenues and expenses are recognized on the accrual basis. Revenues are
recognized in the accounting period in which they are earned and expenses are recognized in the period incurred,
regardless of when the related cash flow takes place.
Net assets of the District are classified into three components: (1) invested in capital assets, net of related debt, (2)
restricted net assets, and (3) unrestricted net assets. These classifications are defined as follows:
Invested in Capital Assets, Net of Related Debt
This component of net assets consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by the
outstanding balances of notes or borrowing that are attributable to the acquisition of the asset, construction, or
improvement of those assets. If there are significant unspent related debt proceeds at year-end, the portion of the debt
attributable to the unspent proceeds are not included in the calculation of invested in capital assets, net of related debt.
Restricted Net Assets
This component of net assets consists of constraints placed on net asset use through external constraints imposed by
creditors (such as through debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments or
constraints imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Unrestricted Net Assets
This component of net asset consists of net assets that do not meet the definition of “invested in capital assets, net of
related debt” or “restricted net assets.”
The District distinguishes operating revenues and expenses from those revenues and expenses that are nonoperating.
Operating revenues are those revenues that are generated by water sales and wastewater services while operating
expenses pertain directly to the furnishing of those services. Nonoperating revenues and expenses are those revenues and
expenses generated that are not directly associated with the normal business of supplying water and wastewater treatment
services.
The District recognizes revenues from water sales, wastewater revenues, and meter fees as they are earned. Taxes and
assessments are recognized as revenues based upon amounts reported to the District by the County of San Diego, net of
allowance for delinquencies of $67,017 and $59,688 at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

B) Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation - Continued
Additionally, capacity fee contributions received which are related to specific operating expenses are offset against
those expenses and included in Cost of Water Sales in the Statement of Revenues and Expenses and Changes in Net
Assets.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the District’s policy to use restricted
resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
The District has elected under GASB Statement No. 20, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Proprietary Funds
and Other Governmental Activities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, to apply all GASB pronouncements as
well as any applicable pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the Accounting
Principles Board (APB), or any Accounting Research Bulletins (ARB) issued on or before November 30, 1989,
unless they contradict or conflict with GASB pronouncements.
C) Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the District considers all highly liquid investments (including
restricted assets) with a maturity period, at purchase, of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
D) Investments
The District’s investments are stated at fair value, except for short-term investments, which are reported at cost,
which approximates fair value. Investments in governmental investment pools are reported on the fair value per
share, of the pool’s underlying portfolio.
E) Inventory and Prepaids
Inventory consists primarily of materials used in the construction and maintenance of the water and sewer system and
is valued at weighted average cost. Both inventory and prepaids use the consumption method whereby they are
reported as an asset and expensed as they are consumed.
F) Capital Assets
Capital assets are recorded at cost, where historical records are available, and at an estimated historical cost where no
historical records exist. Infrastructure assets in excess of $20,000 and other capital assets in excess of $10,000 are
capitalized if they have an expected useful life of two years or more. The District will also capitalize individual
purchases under the capitalization threshold if they are part of a new capital program. The cost of purchased and self-
constructed additions to utility plant and major replacements of property are capitalized. Costs include materials, direct
labor, transportation, and such indirect items as engineering, supervision, employee fringe benefits, and interest
incurred during the construction period. Repairs, maintenance, and minor replacements of property are charged to
expense. Donated assets are capitalized at their approximate fair market value on the date contributed.
The District capitalizes interest on construction projects up to the point in time that the project is substantially
completed. Capitalized interest is included in the cost of water system assets and is depreciated on the straight-line
basis over the estimated useful lives of such assets.

1) REPORTING ENTITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
F) Capital Assets - Continued
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Water System 15-70 Years
Field Equipment 2-50 Years
Buildings 30-50 Years
Communication Equipment 2-10 Years
Transportation Equipment 2-4 Years
Office Equipment 2-10 Years
Recycled Water System 50-75 Years
Sewer System 25-50 Years
G) Compensated Absences
In accordance with GASB Statement No. 16, a liability is recorded for unused vacation and sick leave balances since
the employees’ entitlement to these balances are attributable to services already rendered and it is probable that
virtually all of these balances will be liquidated by either paid time-off or payment upon termination or retirement.
H) Restricted Assets and Liabilities
Certain current liabilities have been classified as current liabilities payable from restricted assets as they will be
funded from restricted assets.
I) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The District charges doubtful accounts arising from water sales receivable to bad debt expense when it is probable that
the accounts will be uncollectible. Uncollectible accounts are determined by the allowance method based upon prior
experience and management’s assessment of the collectability of existing specific accounts. The allowance for
doubtful accounts were $17,531 and $9,253 for 2009 and 2008 respectively.
J) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
K) Property Taxes
Tax levies are limited to 1% of full market value (at time of purchase) which results in a tax rate of $1.00 per $100
assessed valuation, under the provisions of Proposition 13. Tax rates for voter-approved indebtedness are excluded
from this limitation.
The County of San Diego (the “County”) bills and collects property taxes on behalf of the District. The County’s tax
calendar year is July 1 to June 30. Property taxes attach as a lien on property on January 1. Taxes are levied on July 1
and are payable in two equal installments on November 1 and February 1, and become delinquent after December 10
and April 10, respectively.
L) Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

Investments Authorized by the California Government Code and the District’s Investment Policy
The table below identifies the investment types that are authorized for the District by the California Government Code (or
the District’s Investment Policy, where more restrictive). The table also identifies certain provisions of the California
Government Code (or the District’s Investment Policy, where more restrictive) that address interest rate risk, credit risk,
and concentration of credit risk. This table does not address investments of debt proceeds held by bond trustee that are
governed by the provisions of debt agreements of the District, rather than the general provisions of the California
Government Code or the District’s Investment Policy.

Investments Authorized by Debt Agreements
Investments of debt proceeds held by the bond trustee are governed by provisions of the debt agreements, rather than the
general provisions of the California Government Code or the District’s Investment Policy.
Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment.
Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest
rates. One of the ways that the District manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter
term and longer term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or
coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the District’s investments to market interest rate fluctuations is
provided by the following table that shows the distribution of the District’s investments by maturity:

Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment.
This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is
the minimum rating required by (where applicable) the California Government Code or the District’s Investment Policy, or

Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of the District contains various limitations on the amounts that can be invested in any one type or group
on investments and in any issuer, beyond that stipulated by the California Government Code, Sections 53600 through 53692.
Investments in any one issuer (other than U.S. Treasury securities, mutual funds, and external investment pools) that represent
5% or more of total District investments are as follows:
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government
will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside
party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker-
dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in
the possession of another party. The California Government Code and the Entity’s investment policy do not contain legal or
policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or investments, other than the following
provision for deposits: The California Government Code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or
local government units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law
(unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at
least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure
deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits.
As of June 30, 2009, $2,454,830 of the District’s deposits with financial institutions in excess of federal depository insurance
limits were held in collateralized accounts.
Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF)
The District is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by California
Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of California. The fair value of the
District’s investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon District’s pro-
rata share of the fair value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio).
The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an
amortized cost-basis.
San Diego County Pooled Fund
As permitted by its Investment Policy, the District has placed funds with the San Diego County Pooled Fund. The pool may
invest some of their portfolios in derivatives. Detailed information on derivative investments held by this pool is not readily
available.

2) CASH AND INVESTMENTS - Continued
Collateral for Deposits
All cash and Certificates of Deposit are entirely insured or collateralized.
Under the provisions of the California Government Code, California banks and savings and loan associations are required to
secure the District's deposits by pledging government securities as collateral. The market value of the pledged securities must
equal at least 110% of the District's deposits. California law also allows financial institutions to secure District deposits by
pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the District's total deposits.
The District may waive the 110% collateral requirement for deposits which are insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC.

their entirety the District’s previous outstanding General Obligation Bond issue. These bonds are general obligations of
Improvement District No. 27 (ID 27) of the District. The Board of Directors has the power and is obligated to levy annual ad
valorem taxes without limitation, as to rate or amount for payment of the bonds and the interest upon all property which is
within ID 27 and subject to taxation. The General Obligation Bonds are payable from District-wide tax revenues. The Board
may utilize other sources for servicing the bond debt and interest.

7) DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN
Plan Description
The District’s defined plan, (the “Plan”), provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and
death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. The Plan is part of the Public Agency portion of the California Public
Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), an agent multiple-employer plan administered by CalPERS, which acts as a
common investment and administrative agent for participating public employers within the State of California. A menu of
benefit provisions as well as other requirements is established by State statute within the Public Employees’ Retirement Law.
The Plan selects optional benefit provisions from the benefit menu by contract with CalPERS and adopts those benefits
through District resolution. CalPERS issues a separate Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. Copies of the CalPERS’
annual financial report may be obtained from the CalPERS Executive Office, 400 P Street, Sacramento, California 95814.
Funding Policy
Active members in the Plan are required to contribute 8% of their annual covered salary. The District has elected to
contribute 7% on behalf of its employees. The District is required to contribute the actuarially determined remaining amounts
necessary to fund the benefits for its members. The actuarial methods and assumptions used are those adopted by the
CalPERS Board of Administration. The required employer contribution rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 was
19.369%. The contribution requirements of the Plan members are established by State statute and the employer contribution
rate is established and may be amended by the CalPERS.

7) DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN - Continued
Annual Pension Costs
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the District’s annual pension cost and actual contribution was $2,150,579. The
required contribution for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 was determined as part of the June 30, 2006 actuarial valuation.
The following is a summary of the actuarial assumptions and methods:
Valuation Date June 30, 2006
Actuarial Cost Method Entry Age Actuarial Cost Method
Amortization Method Level Percent of Payroll
Average Remaining Period 21 Years as of the Valuation Date
Asset Valuation Method 15 Year Smoothed Market
Actuarial Assumptions:
Investment Rate of Return 7.75% (Net of Administrative Expenses)
Projected Salary Increase 3.25% to 14.45% Depending on Age, Service, and Type of Employment
Inflation 3.00%
Payroll Growth 3.25%
Individual Salary Growth A merit scale varying by duration of employment coupled with an assumed
annual inflation component of 3.00% and an annual production growth of 0.25%.
Initial unfunded liabilities are amortized over a closed period that depends on the Plan’s date of entry into CalPERS.
Subsequent Plan amendments are amortized as a level percentage of pay over a closed 20-year period. Gains and losses that
occur in the operation of the plan are amortized over a rolling period, which results in an amortization of 6% of unamortized
gains and losses each year. If the plan’s accrued liability exceeds the actuarial value of the plan assets, then the amortization
payment of the total unfunded liability may be lower than the payment calculated over a 30-year amortization period.

Funded Status and Funding Progress
As of June 30, 2007, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the plan was 75.6% funded. The actuarial accrued liability (AAL)
for benefits was $59,412,116, and the actuarial value of assets was $44,910,326, resulting in an unfunded actuarial accrued
liability (UAAL) of $14,501,790. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was $10,663,440,
and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 136.0%.
The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary information following the notes to the financial
statements, presents multiyear trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over
the time relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits.

8) OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
Plan Description
The District’s defined benefit postemployment healthcare plan, (DPHP), provides medical benefits to eligible retired District
employees and beneficiaries. DPHP is part of the Public Agency portion of the California Employers’ Retiree Benefit Trust
Fund (CERBT), an agent multiple-employer plan administered by California Public Employees’ Retirement System
(CalPERS), which acts as a common investment and administrative agent for participating public employers within the State
of California. A menu of benefit provisions as well as other requirements is established by State statute within the Public
Employees’ Retirement Law. DPHP selects optional benefit provisions from the benefit menu by contract with CalPERS and
adopts those benefits through District resolution. CalPERS issues a separate Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
Copies of the CalPERS’ annual financial report may be obtained from the CalPERS Executive Office, 400 P Street,
Sacramento, California 95814.
Funding Policy
The contribution requirements of plan members and the District are established and may be amended by the Board of
Directors. DPHP members receiving benefits contribute based on their selected plan options of EPO, Silver or Gold and if
they are located outside the State of California. Contributions by plan members range from $0 to $95 per month for
coverage to age 65, and from $0 to $62 per month, respectively, thereafter.
Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation/Asset
The District’s annual OPEB cost (expense) is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the employer (ARC),
an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC represents a level
of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis is projected to cover the normal annual cost. Any unfunded actuarial liability
(or funding excess) is amortized over a period not to exceed thirty years. The current ARC rate is 7.7% of the annual
covered payroll.
The following table shows the components of the District’s annual OPEB cost for the year, the amount actually
contributed to the plan, and changes in the District’s net OPEB obligation/asset:
2009 2008
Annual Required Contribution (ARC) 873,000$ 846,000$
Interest on net OPEB asset (437,798) -
Adjustment to Annual Required Contribution
(ARC) 489,999 -
Annual OPEB cost (expense) 925,201 846,000
Contributions made 1,481,069 6,495,008
Increase in net OPEB asset (555,868) (5,649,008)
Net OPEB asset - beginning of year (5,649,008) -
Net OPEB asset - end of year (6,204,876)$ (5,649,008)$
For 2009, in addition to the ARC, the District contributed an implied subsidy (healthcare premium payments for retirees to
Special District Risk Management Authority (SDRMA) ) in the amount of $608,069, which is included in the $1,481,069 of
contributions shown above. For 2008 this amount was $649,008, which is included in the $6,495,008 of contributions shown
above.

*The information for 6/30/2007 is unavailable. GASB 45 was implemented in fiscal year 2008.
Funded Status and Funding Progress
The funded status of the plan as of June 30, 2007, the most recent actuarial valuation date, was as follows:
Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL)$ 11,408,000
Actuarial Value of Plan Assets $0
Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL)$ 11,408,000
Funded Ratio (Actuarial Value of PlanAssets/AAL) 0%
Covered Payroll (Active Plan Members)$ 10,951,000 UAAL as a Percentage of Covered Payroll 104.2%
Actuarial valuations of an 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 future employment, mortality,
and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required
contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and
new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary
information following the notes to the 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.

8) OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS - Continued
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the
employer and the plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical
pattern of sharing of benefit costs between employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and
assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued
liabilities and the actuarial assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.
The following is a summary of the actuarial assumptions and methods:
Valuation Date June 30, 2007
Actuarial Cost Method Entry Age Normal Cost Method
Amortization Method Level Percent of Payroll
Remaining Amortization Period 30 Years as of the Valuation Date
Asset Valuation Method 15 Year Smoothed Market
Actuarial Assumptions:
Investment Rate of Return 7.75% (Net of Administrative Expenses)
Projected Salary Increase 3.25%
Inflation 3.00%

9) WATER CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
In 1999 the District formed the Water Conservation Authority (the “Authority”), a Joint Powers Authority, with other local
entities to construct, maintain and operate a xeriscape demonstration garden in the furtherance of water conservation. The
authority is a non-profit public charity organization and is exempt from income taxes. During the years ended June 30, 2009
and 2008, the District contributed $95,270 and $80,541, respectively, for the development, construction and operation costs of
the xeriscape demonstration garden.
A summary of the Authority’s June 30, 2008 audited financial statement is as follows (latest report available):
Assets $ 2,513,701
Liabilities 77,469
Revenues, Gains and Other Support 782,019
Changes in Net Assets (23,115)

10) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Construction Commitments
The District had committed to capital projects under construction with an estimated cost to complete of $1,088,300 at June 30,
2009.
Litigation
Certain claims, suits and complaints arising in the ordinary course of operation have been filed or are pending against the
District. In the opinion of the staff and counsel, all such matters are adequately covered by insurance, or if not so covered, are
without merit or are of such kind, or involved such amounts, as would not have significant effect on the financial position or
results of operations of the District if disposed of unfavorably.
Refundable Terminal Storage Fees
The District has entered into an agreement with several developers whereby the developers prepaid the terminal storage fee in
order to provide the District with the funds necessary to build additional storage capacity. The agreement further allows the
developers to relinquish all or a portion of such water storage capacity. If the District grants to another property owner the
relinquished storage capacity, the District shall refund to the applicable developer $746 per equivalent dwelling unit (EDU).
There were 17,867 EDUs that were subject to this agreement. At June 30, 2008, 1,750 EDUs had been relinquished and
refunded, 14,622 EDUs had been connected, and 1,495 EDUs have neither been relinquished nor connected. At June 30,
2009, 1,750 EDUs had been relinquished and refunded, 14,662 EDUs had been connected, and 1,455 EDUs have neither
been relinquished nor connected.
Developer Agreements
The District has entered into various Developer Agreements with developers towards the expansion of District facilities. The
developers agree to make certain improvements and after the completion of the projects the District agrees to reimburse such
improvements with a maximum reimbursement amount for each developer. Contractually, the District does not incur a
liability for the work until the work is accepted by the District. As of June 30, 2009, none of the 3 outstanding developer
agreements had been accepted, however it is anticipated that the District will be liable for an amount not to exceed $20,300 at
the point of acceptance. Accordingly, the District did not accrue a liability as of year end.
11) RISK MANAGEMENT
General Liability
The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, theft, damage and destruction of assets, errors and
omissions, and natural disasters. Beginning in July 2003, the District began participation in an insurance pool through the
Special District Risk Management Authority (SDRMA). SDRMA is a not-for-profit public agency formed under
California Government Code Sections 6500 et. Seq. SDRMA is governed by a board composed of members from
participating agencies. The mission of SDRMA is to provide renewable, efficiently priced risk financing and risk
management services through a financially sound pool. The District pays an annual premium for commercial insurance
covering general liability, excess liability, property, automobile, public employee dishonesty, and various other claims.
Coverage limits range up to $1 billion. Accordingly, the District retains no risk of loss. Separate financial statements of
SDRMA may be obtained at Special District Risk Management Authority, 1112 “I” Street, Suite 300, Sacramento, CA
95814.
Workers’ Compensation
Through SDRMA, the District is insured up to $200,000,000 for Statutory Workers’ Compensation and $5,000,000 for
Employers’ Liability coverage with no deductible. SDRMA currently has a pool of 336 agencies in the Workers’
Compensation Program.

11) RISK MANAGEMENT - Continued
Health Insurance
Previously the District maintained a self-insurance program for health claims. Beginning in January 2008, the District
began providing health insurance through SDRMA covering all of its employees, retirees, and other dependents. Prior
estimated accrued claims outstanding at June 30, 2008 amounted to $137,029, and all remaining claims were paid as of
December 31, 2008. SDRMA is a self-funded pooled medical program administered in conjunction with the California
State Association of Counties (CSAC).
Adequacy of Protection
During the past three fiscal (claims) years none of the above programs of protection have had settlements or judgments
that exceeded pooled or insured coverage. There have been no significant reductions in pooled or insured liability
coverage from coverage in the prior year.
12) INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, is as follows:
2009 2008
Amount Expensed $ 1,340,110 $ 2,601,252
Amount Capitalized as a Cost of
Construction Projects 1,353,153 373,282
