Statement from Sonoma County Water Agency Regarding
Governor's Drought Declaration
There's a drought on. Turn your water off.
(Santa Rosa, CA) The Sonoma County Water Agency issued the following statement on Governor Jerry
Brown's formal declaration today of a statewide drought.
"The Sonoma County Water Agency is pleased that the governor took the necessary action of declaring an
official statewide drought. The Water Agency will work with the appropriate state agencies to ensure all tools
provided by the declaration are reviewed and utilized as needed. We began implementing many of the
declaration's calls to action ahead oftoday's announcement because we saw the writing on the wall. Our region
has experienced consecutive dry years with the driest on record last year. We took immediate action to preserve
water in Lake Mendocino when we saw no rain in the forecast and falling reservoir levels. We will get through
this drought by working together and saving every drop of water we can," said Water Agency Chairman David
Rabbitt.
1
Water Agency Director Efren Carrillo added, "Our region has taken several proactive measure necessary to
manage the early onset of this drought. We did so by successfully petitioning the State Water Resources
Control Board to provide us with more operational flexibility in Lake Mend cino, whlch has enab led us to
reduce water releases to save every drop of water in that reset-voiT. We also joined the Sonoma-Mm·in Saving
Water Partnership's new public outreach campaign. Bottom line; there's a drought on. Turn your water off."
Water Agency Director Shirlee Zane added, "As our region's water resource managers it is essential that we
take advantage of regulatory and funding opportunities provided by this declaration to help our region get
through this drought. Implementing water conservation rebate programs and moving forward now on long-term
water supply projects, such as aquifer storage and recovery or recycled water projects, will not only help our
community today, but into the future."
Water Agency Director Mike McGuire added, "Unless we have a fantastic February or miracle March, our
region will face a drought unlike any other. Lake Mendocino and Lake Pillsbury are at historical lows and we
need to double down on our conservation efforts. Thal means turning off unnecessary outdoor irrigation and
keeping your daily water use behavior top of mind."
Water Agency Director Su an Gorin stated This drought is happening now and requires immediate action by
everyone in our community. Mandated or not a ll of us should be saving water however we can. Community
members sho uld contact their local water utility to learn more about water conservation rebate programs."
Other immediate actions the Water Agency has taken include:
Improving reservoir management: On December 31, 2013, the State Water Resources Control Board issued an
Order approving the Water Agency's petition for temporary urgency change to improve reservoir management
of Lake Mendocino. This order will help preserve water in Lake Mendocino. View the Order online.
Public outreach: The Water Agency along with the Sonoma-Marin Saving Water Partnership launched an
unusual wintertime public awareness with the following message: The drought is on. Tum your water off. The
goal of the effort is to increase public awarene s about the drought and provide conservation tips. The
multimedia effort may be viewed on the Partnership's website at www.wateroff.org.
Stakeholder outreach: The Water Agency continues to work proactively with key stakeholders in the upper
Russian River watershed to efficiently manage water resources. The Water Agency is proactively speaking
with agricultural groups, business coalitions and community based organizations to share drought and water
conservation information.
Weather forecasting: More than 50 percent of the Water Agency s annual water supply comes during extreme
weather events known as atmospheric rivers. The Water Agency is working with the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration s Hydrometeorological Testb d Program to improve our ability to capture and
manage water from atmospheric rivers.
Long term projects: The Water Agency is implementing long term projects that will provide secure and reliable
water supplies for the future including programs for the sustainable management of groundwater resources in
the Alexander Valley, Santa Rosa Plain and Sonoma Valley as well as implementation of water reuse programs
throughout our service area.
Resources: The Water Agency has created a web page dedicated to drought news and information. Please visit
www.sonomacountywater.org to view the page.
2
Future public outreach meetings: The Water Agency will begin planning to host a series of public outreach
meetings to discuss the drought and its implications to our region. Meeting dates and times will be issued in a
future press release, or visit the drought page often to learn more.

Subject: California drought: Jerry Brown declares emergency, asks public to ration water-S.F. Chronicle, 1/17/14
California drought: Jerry Brown declares emergency, asks public to ration water
By Kurtis Alexander, S.F. Chronicle, 1/17/14
(01-17) 10:01 PST San Francisco--Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday officially declared a drought emergency in California,
asking residents to voluntarily reduce their water use by 20 percent and committing to bolster the state's dwindling
water supplies with better management and federal assistance.
The order, announced at a news conference at the governor's San Francisco office, comes as the state is gripped by a
third consecutive year of dry weather.
Rivers are running low. Snowpack is meager. And communities across California are worried about having sufficient
water for homes, businesses and farmland. The dry weather also has increased the threat of wildfire, with record
acreage burning this month, including a 1,700-acre fire that continues to char the hills above Los Angeles.
With the emergency deClaration, Brown said he would make it easier for communities to transfer water from wetter
parts of the state to dryer areas. He also said he would seek federal assistance, though he didn't detail that effort.
"We are in an unprecedented and very serious situation," Brown said. "It's important to awaken all Californians to the
serious matter of drought and the lack of rain."
While Brown said he wanted residents to join the conservation push and reduce their water consumption by 20 percent,
the reductions remain voluntary. He said he would continue to monitor the weather and would consider mandatory
restrictions if things don't improve.
Friday's declaration is the third statewide drought declaration statewide since 1987, the previous coming between 2007
and 2009.
An earlier declaration came during the 1976-77 drought, amid Brown's first stint as governor.
This January, most of California has seen little or no rainfall. The dry spell follows a record-dry 2013 in much of the state
and climate models suggest rain will remain scant during the next few months, setting up California for its third dry '
winter in a row.
Meanwhile, the Sierra Nevada snowpack, vital to filling the state's sprawling system of reservoirs, measured just 17
percent of normal this week.
Already, a ha~dful of water agencies have imposed restrictions on consumers while others-including some in the Bay
Area -are ask1ng for voluntary water reductions. Sacramento is the biggest community to enact requirements so far
ordering consumers Tuesday to scale back water use by 20 to 30 percent. '
Few areas are threatened as much as the Central Valley, where farmers dependent on state and federal water
allocations face among their lowest allotments in years. The State Water Project estimated in November that it would fill
only 5 percent of the water requests it has received from contracting agencies.
Federal officials offered some support Thursday. The U.S. Department of Agriculture designated 27 of California's 58
counties-alongside po~ions of 10 other states-as natural disaster areas because ofthe drought, which means farmers
can get emergency low-mterest loans.
While projections released his week from the National Weather Service don't offer much hope of improving conditions
forecasters note that two months remain of the wet season-plenty of time to make up for lost ground. '

Meeting Date: January 28, 2014

Submitted By: Richard F. Pedroncelli, PLS, Senior Engineering Technician
Prepared By: Richard F. Pedroncelli, PLS, Senior Engineering Technician
Agenda Title: Authorize and approve Amendment 1 to Task Order No. 2013-01 with
Green Valley Consulting Engineers for Inspection and Material Testing of
the Labath/Business Park Overlay and Traffic Signal Installation
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution authorizing and approving Amendment 1 to
Task Order No. 2013-01 with Green Valley Consulting Engineers.
BACKGROUND: The Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for the Implementation of
Mitigation Measures for Widening Wilfred Avenue (JEPA Wilfred) required the Tribe to
construct the Labath/Business Park Overlay and Traffic Signal Installation. The City of Rohnert
Park hired Green Valley Consulting Engineers (Green Valley) to provide inspection and
materials testing services for the Labath/Business Park Overlay and Traffic Signal Installation,
pursuant to City Council Resolution No. 2013-097, adopted on June 25, 2013. Green Valley
provided a scope of work and estimated the cost to provide the services, not to exceed
$142,590.00. Green Valley represented city staff throughout the progress of the construction.
Some work occurred at night and multiple shifts were necessary in order to maintain inspection
and testing of the work.
ANALYSIS: Consultant work is paid on a time and materials basis. The work was performed
under a private contract, therefore the construction schedule was not under city control. Because
some of the work was performed at night and throughout multiple shifts the cost exceeded Green
Valley’s estimate. The amendment amounts to $20,605.00. The final cost of Green Valley
services amounts to $163,195.00.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED: Staff recommends approving Amendment 1 to Task Order No.
2013-01 with Green Valley Consulting Engineers.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE: The Green Valley Consulting Engineers additional
$20,605.00 costs are billable to and paid by the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria pursuant
to the JEPA Wilfred.

Re: Request for Amendment #1 for the Labath Roadway Inspection Services
Dear Pat:
I am writing in regards to our contract for Construction Management and Inspection services
associated with the Labath Roadway Inspection project, as referenced. We respectively request an
amendment to our original Contract to address the additional working days that had been granted
to the Contractor. Our original contract amount was depleted at the expiration of the original
contract working days. This amendment will address the additional costs resulting from additional
work as detailed below.
We are estimating an additional 10-15 working days of part-time required to close out the project.
Below is a brief summary of the additional services provided during the construction phase:
¾The Contractor worked multiple crews for extended hours resulting in a significant amount of
overtime not previously accounted for in the budget.
¾The Contractor worked multiple crews on both day and night shifts requiring 2 inspectors for
a period of 2-3 weeks.
¾Additional work was added on Redwood Drive and J. Rogers Lane which was not
accounted for in the original scope.
¾There were major errors with the electrical plans, which resulted in an additional 3-4 weeks of
work for the Contractor to obtain power for the new signals.
¾The final electrical, landscaping, punch list, etc. work slowed to a crawl resulting in 6-8 weeks
of part time work.
Estimated Fee
Estimated fee for additional services is $20,605 per the attached spreadsheet of hours and
associated fees.
If you have any questions regarding the scope of work required for this project or estimated fee,
please feel free to contact Tim Dillenburg or myself at 707.579.0388.

Department: Development Services
Submitted By: Patrick Barnes, Deputy City Engineer
Agenda Title: Authorize and Approve a Design Professional Services Agreement with
Coastland Civil Engineering for Engineering Design Services for Rohnert Park
Expressway Overlay Project No. 2013-01
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize and Approve a Design Professional Services Agreement with Coastland Civil Engineering
for Engineering Design Services for Rohnert Park Expressway Overlay Project No. 2013-01 in the
amount of $119,389.
BACKGROUND:
The Rohnert Park Expressway Overlay Project (Project) involves overlaying the street surface of the
segment of Rohnert Park Expressway between Snyder Lane and State Farm Drive. The Project is, in
part, federally funded and therefore subject to requirements for Federal funding. The grant the City
has received for Federal funding for this project was the result of the roadway’s proximity to the
Central Rohnert Park Planned Development Area (PDA).
In keeping with staff’s June 2012 presentation to Council regarding roadway maintenance strategy,
these Federal funds are being used to maintain major roadways (arterials and collectors) in the City.
The Rohnert Park Expressway is a major arterial and the most heavily travelled roadway in the City.
It connects the freeway to the PDA, the Rohnert Park Community Center, Sonoma State University
(SSU) and the Green Music Center. The Graton Casino also advertises to patrons that Rohnert Park
Expressway is one of the preferred routes to access the casino. The roadway will support the Central
PDA including the development of the State Farm properties. The current Pavement Condition Index
(PCI) ratings of streets segments on Rohnert Park Expressway range from 48 (poor) to 85 (very
good). Maintaining this vital and very visible link to the City’s major economic centers is crucial and
performing maintenance now will avoid greater costs for rehabilitation in the future.
The construction is expected to cost $2.0 million. Soft costs will total another $350K. Funding will
be a mixture of federal grant and local funds. No General Fund monies will be used for this project.
The design consultant will be responsible for the design of the Project. This includes preparing
construction drawings, bid specifications, and construction cost estimates for the Project. Staff will
perform design review and coordinate with Caltrans for the environmental and grant funding
requirements. The design consultant will be responsible for a design that balances:

Better Community for Today and Tomorrow.”
CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
ITEM NO. 6.C.2
2
1. The available funding.
2. The desire to cover as much of the project area as possible.
3. The City’s requirements to construct the roadway for a 20- year life.
The overall schedule for the Project is dictated by the grant. Design will begin as soon as the design
contract is awarded and all final documents for construction must be submitted to Caltrans for
approval October 1, 2014. The construction is planned for the summer of 2015.
On November 6, 2013, Development Services issued a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) for the
purpose of identifying qualified consultants to assist the City with the design of the Project.
Three proposals were received by the due date of December 3, 2013. The City project team reviewed
the proposals and scored them on responsiveness to the RFP. Based on the review, staff selected
Coastland Civil Engineering for the design services based on based on demonstrated competence and
professional qualifications. Their proposal price is $119,389, which staff believes is reasonable for
the services to be provided.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
Staff considered two other firms for this design and based on the project team, previous experience
and project scope believe Coastland Civil Engineering to be the most qualified for this project.
Staff also considered how much of this project to do in house. Based on our work with Caltrans over
the past few years we believed it best for staff to work directly with Caltrans on the grant and
environmental documents. Staff considered doing the design in-house, but given current
commitments, believes it is best to have this work done by a consultant. Note that even should this
work be done in house, some consultant work would be needed for geotechnical testing and related
work.
FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE:
The design costs will be paid from Gas tax. This approach maximizes the amount of federal grant
available for construction and minimizes overhead expenses during design. No General Fund monies
will be expended on this project.

Agenda Title: Approving and Accepting a 1997 Grant Deed from The Rohnert Park
District to the City of Rohnert Park for Sewer Pond/Animal Shelter
Properties, APN 143-040-002-097 & 098)
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution approving and accepting 1997 Grant Deed
from The Rohnert Park District to the City of Rohnert Park for Sewer Pump Station/Animal
Shelter Properties.
BACKGROUND: The Rohnert Park District was created prior to the City of Rohnert Park
incorporation for the purpose of providing community facilities. The City Council of the City of
Rohnert Park is also the Board of Directors of the Rohnert Park District, with the Mayor
appointed the Chairperson, the City Manager appointed the Executive Director and the City
Clerk appointed the Secretary. The Rohnert Park District authorized execution of a Grant Deed
transferring title of certain property to the City of Rohnert Park by adopting Board Resolution
No. 97-01 on June 24, 1997. The property is located at 301 J. Rogers Lane and is commonly
referred to as the Animal Shelter property. Despite the execution of the Grant Deed, the Sonoma
County Assessor’s Office (Assessor) continues to show the Animal Shelter property (APN 143-
040-097) as owned by the Rohnert Park District.
The Assessor is requesting a Certificate of Acceptance be executed by the City of Rohnert Park
in order to change the owner as the City of Rohnert Park. Staff has researched city records and
has not discovered a Certificate of Acceptance issued for this transaction by the City of Rohnert
Park. Rohnert Park’s City Council members are appointed as the Board of Directors of The
Rohnert Park District. Since The Rohnert Park District, Board of Directors approved the
conveyance of the property to the City of Rohnert Park the intent to transfer the property is clear.
The Grant Deed recorded as document number 19970054392 of Official Records of Sonoma
County on June 26, 1997, and is attached to the resolution for the City Council’s reference. The
City of Rohnert Park approved a Lot Line Adjustment between the Sewer Pump Station and
Animal Shelter properties by City Council Resolution No. 2013-032 adopted on February 26,
2013.
ANALYSIS: Deeds conveying an interest in real property require a certificate or resolution of
acceptance by the City Council to be recorded, as required by Government Code 27281. The
Mission Statement
“We Care for Our Residents by Working Together to Build a
Better Community for Today and Tomorrow.”

record clearly shows the Rohnert Park District’s intention to convey the property to the City of
Rohnert Park, therefore the Certificate of Acceptance is the final step to transfer the property.
The Sonoma County Assessor’s Office request is to simply complete the Grant Deed transaction
by issuing a Certificate of Acceptance.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED: The preferable option is to adopt this resolution. Not adopting the
resolution would be cause for continuing confusion by outside agencies related to the property
ownership.

Department: Administration
Submitted By: Darrin Jenkins, City Manager
Agenda Title: Consideration of Authorizing and Approving an Employment Agreement
between the City of Rohnert Park and Victoria Perrault for Human Resources
Director Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve a resolution authorizing and approving an
employment agreement between the City Of Rohnert Park and Victoria Perrault for Human
Resources Director services.
BACKGROUND:
The City has been without human resources management leadership for approximately ten years.
Since 2010, the City has contracted with Regional Government Services for a part-time Human
Resources Manager. During this time, the consultant in this role has identified a significant
number of substantial and ongoing human resource management needs, and recommended that
the City allocate a full-time management position to address them. In the FY 13/14 budget
process, the City Council funded and allocated this critical position.
ANALYSIS:
The City Manager has selected Victoria Perrault from a pool of qualified candidates recently
generated in a competitive recruitment process for the position of Human Resources Director.
Consistent with City policy, the appointment will be “at-will” and subject to an employment
agreement. Under an at-will employment agreement, the City retains the ability to terminate the
employment relationship with or without cause. In the event the employee is terminated from
employment without cause, the City will provide the employee with a minimal severance benefit.
If the employee is terminated for cause, the City is not obligated to pay any severance benefit.
The proposed agreement is for a term of three years, which allow time to develop administrative
infrastructure and accomplish needed changes within the City organization.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The position has already been allocated in the FY 13/14 budget and placed at salary range 98M
($9,007 per month to $10,948 per month).

Director is exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act and, therefore, no overtime pay will be
paid to Employee based on hours worked.
(b) Employee shall be entitled to all benefits, rights, and privileges accorded to the

capacity as Human Resources Director, regardless of whether the notice of filing of a lawsuit
Page 4 of 6
for such tort, claim, demand, or other legal action occurs during or following Employee's
employment with City as Human Resources Director.
6. CONFLICT OF INTEREST PROHIBITION.

Department: Finance
Submitted By: Mark Walsh, Interim Finance Director
Prepared By: Mark Walsh, Interim Finance Director
Agenda Title: Fiscal Year 2012-13 Financial Audit
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Accept Financial Statement Audit and Financial Reports
BACKGROUND:
The City of Rohnert Park contracts with a CPA firm to conduct an annual audit of the City’s
financial statements that are included in a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). The
independent auditor, Vavrinek, Trine, Day and Company, LLP has completed their audit, and has
issued an “unqualified,” (clean), opinion on the City’s annual financial statements. The Finance
Department of the City of Rohnert Park facilitated the annual audit, and requests the City Council’s
acceptance of the auditor’s opinion and the financial statements.
ANALYSIS:
The City’s Finance Department prepares a comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) each year
that includes financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles applicable to governments in the United States of America (GAAP), and the statements are
subjected to an audit by an independent certified public accounting (CPA) firm conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards applicable to state and local governments
(GAAS). The CAFR includes the financial statements for the City, and the Rohnert Park Financing
Authority, a legally separate component unit for which the City Council maintains fiscal
accountability.
The audit has been completed, and the City’s Finance Department is delivering the report to the
Mayor and City Council, while bringing attention to these related matters:
a) The auditor issued a clean opinion. The auditor’s “unqualified” opinion means the financial
statements are fairly presented, and they did not have to say “except for this or that” in the report.
The external auditor did not note significant deficiencies in the internal control structure of the City.
b) The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded the City of Rohnert Park a
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the prior year’s financial
report. The GFOA is the widely-recognized “best practice” body for governmental accounting,

“We Care for Our Residents by Working Together to Build a
Better Community for Today and Tomorrow.”

auditing and financial reporting. The award means the government went above and beyond the call
of GAAP to provide a comprehensive financial conversation with the public.
c) The “Letter of Transmittal” included in the CAFR makes the report a little easier to
understand, and a lot less boring. That section describes what’s included and what isn’t as far as
the City’s financial transactions are concerned (The reporting entity); discusses major initiatives of
the government; and comments on the future outlook. We thank the City Manager for his assistance
in preparing that communication for the citizenry.
d) The “Management Discussion and Analysis” section provides a brief analysis of events from a
financial statement perspective, and is good reading for those desiring a description of significant
transactions for the year.
e) The statistical section provides interesting historical and demographical information like the
tax revenues for the last ten years; and principal employers, currently and four years ago.
f) Note 18 to the financial statements describes a “subsequent event,” something occurring after the
balance sheet date that requires disclosure to give the reader a clearer picture of the financial
condition. As more fully described in note 18, on November 1, 2013, the State of California
Department of Finance provided conditional approval for repayment of an amount advanced by the
City of Rohnert Park to its former Redevelopment Agency. The conditions will require re-evaluation
of a $2,075,000 “advance to successor agency” recorded in the City’s books at June 30, 2013.
g) Significant and successful efforts were made by Ana Kwong, Accounting Supervisor to close the
books, provide information to the auditors, update statistical information, and facilitate the peer
review work of the GFOA.
h) The external auditor is available to describe the audit to the City Council.
i) The Finance Department staff is available to answer questions of the City Council, Rohnert Park
citizens, and interested readers of the financial statements, and will meet with interested parties upon
request.

Members of the City Council:
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the City of Rohnert Park for the
fiscal year 2012-13 is hereby submitted. This report was prepared by the Finance
Department, which is responsible for both the accuracy of the presented data and the
completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures. We believe the data,
as presented, is accurate in all material aspects and presented in a manner designed to fairly
set forth the financial position and changes in financial position of the City as measured by
the financial activity of its various funds, and that all disclosures necessary to enable the
reader to gain the maximum understanding of the City’s financial affairs have been included.
This is the twelfth year that the City has prepared the CAFR using the financial reporting
requirements as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements – Management’s Discussion and Analysis –
for State and Local Governments. This GASB Statement requires that management provide
a narrative introduction, overview and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements
in the form of a Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal
is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The
MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors.
THE REPORTING ENTITY
The CAFR includes the funds and account groups of the primary government, which
includes several enterprise activities, as well as all of its component units. Component units
include legally separate entities for which the primary government is financially accountable
and that have substantially the same board as the City or provide services entirely to the City.
Accordingly, the Rohnert Park Financing Authority's financial information is blended with
the City's information in this report. The City was incorporated in August 1962. The City
has a council-manager form of government. Five persons are elected by popular vote to
serve four-year terms on the City Council. Elections are held every two years. The Mayor is
separately elected to a one-year term by members of the City Council from among the City
Council members. The Mayor acts as the presiding officer of the City Council. Policies
established by the City Council are implemented through the office of the City Manager.
Economic Condition and Outlook
The City is located in beautiful Sonoma County, approximately forty-five miles north of San Francisco on US
Highway 101. It is home to approximately 41,000 people, Sonoma State University, the Green Music Center and
the award winning Foxtail Golf Course. A neighboring government, the Federated Indians of the Graton Rancheria
(Tribe) opened a newly constructed casino in November 2013. As one of the first planned communities, Rohnert
Park enjoys the benefits of a coordinated system of bike trails and paths, schools and parks, in every neighborhood.
More than 50 restaurants including all the best national chains offer diners the flavors they crave. Residents enjoy
sweeping views of Sonoma and Taylor Mountains, preserved from development forever. Rohnert Park is just
minutes from popular tourism venues including hundreds of local wineries, the Pacific Ocean, and giant redwoods.
I-2
Sonoma County is an attractive international destination and outdoor recreational mecca, with wine related
products, specialty foods, wellness programs and spa experiences; which adds further long-term potential. The
close proximity to major Bay Area attractions will continue to support tourist traffic.
Sonoma County’s economy is beginning to recover. All of the primary sectors are expected to experience modest
growth. The unemployment rate fell to 6.7 percent compared to a year ago at 8.9 percent; sales tax revenues are up;
hotel occupancy and room rates have increased; and Property tax remains flat although property transfer tax has
risen. The growth will be attributable to Sonoma County being an attractive international destination, with close
proximity to major Bay Area attractions that are a draw for many tourists.
MAJOR INITIATIVES
For the Year
In response to the current economic conditions, the City has taken a more proactive approach and has developed a
Strategic Plan for the City of Rohnert Park for 2012-2016. The strategic plan provides a comprehensive framework
which includes an economic development plan, capital improvement plan, a budget process, policy issues,
organizational efficiencies and the General Plan.
The City implemented Zero Based Budgeting for budget 2012-13 which was a prudent and useful exercise to re-
evaluate each line item in the budget. Expenditures were trimmed, vacant positions were frozen and facility
maintenance and capital equipment purchases have been postponed. Revenue projections were higher than the
previous year as the City benefits from the passage of a Measure E ½ cent sales tax measure that provided $3.2
million in fiscal year 2013.
The Measure E half-cent sales tax approved by 55.4% of voters in the June 2010 election authorized the City to
collect the tax for five years unless an extension was approved by the City Council and voters.
Rohnert Park citizens approved an extension of the half-cent tax collection with a 67.3% "yes" vote for Measure A
in the November 2013 election. Measure A removed the five-year sunset provision of Measure E, and allows
collection of the additional sales tax unless its expiration date is changed by unanimous vote of the City Council.
The City discontinued its practice of selling surplus property to offset structural budget deficits and is implementing
a long-term financial recovery plan which includes reviewing revenue opportunities, looking for ways to provide
essential city services, and building the infrastructure needed to attract new residents and businesses.
To address the decline in revenues in past years and to absorb increasing health care and pension costs, the City
only spends what is necessary to stay within our means, while still maintaining essential services. Labor contracts
were modified and required employees to pay their portion of pension contributions and negotiated furloughs as an
additional cost saving measures. The City also has postponed facility maintenance and postponed the purchase of
equipment and vehicles.
The City places a high importance on technology and information systems. The City network serves five primary
facilities: City Hall, Public Safety, Public Works, Senior Center and the Community Center Complex. These
primary sites are linked using leased fiber-optic services. Data and voice information is run over these links and
the appropriate firewalls, routers and switches are in place. All internet traffic is routed through a data center at the
City of Rohnert Park Annex, increasing network security. The City leases servers, desktops, and notebooks so
there is very little cost in keeping the equipment up to date and removing outdated hardware.
The City continues to research and implement technologies that reduce operating costs, such as the server
virtualization program that obviates the need for numerous and expensive physical servers. Future plans are to
continue to consolidate resources in an effort to control costs and maintain a high level of service.
I-3
The Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety serves the citizens of Rohnert Park by performing both Police and
Fire functions. The Officers are trained as both police officers and firefighters as an effective way to provide a
quick response to either structure fires or a crime event. Upgrades to public safety response systems are continued
for FY 13-14, and link Rohnert Parks’ safety resources with neighboring public safety response agencies
throughout Sonoma County.
The Public Works and Community Services Department is a full-service department that is responsible for the
construction, operation, maintenance, and repair of most of the City’s infrastructure, facilities and community
programs. In addition to performing regularly assigned duties, staff responds to over 5,000 citizen requests each
year and responds to a variety of system problems and emergencies 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. The
Department is organized by function into three distinct divisions: Utilities, General Services, and Community
Services.
The Utilities Division consists of potable water, sewer, and drainage systems. Most utility system functions are
heavily regulated where many day-to-day functions are mandated. This division is staffed at a minimum of five
days a week but is also monitored 24-7 through the City’s computer-controlled wireless network.
The General Services Division consists of streets, buildings, fleet, and parks maintenance. This division is also
responsible for the implementation of components of the City’s Greenhouse Gas Action Plan and the administration
of the Foxtail Golf Course lease agreement.
The Community Services Division operates several major City facilities including: Callinan Sports & Fitness
Center, four community centers, Senior Center, pottery studio as well as several parks, community gardens, dog
parks, athletic fields, tennis courts, and three swimming pools. Community Services staff also either runs or
oversees several youth and adult programs, sports leagues, classes, and community events.
In addition, the staff at the Spreckels Performing Arts Center is taking innovative steps toward making the city
owned and operated facility not only a valuable community asset but a financial asset as well. The new theater
performances have been well received by the community and have also recovered all production costs.
The City has also upgraded its freeway signage by installing a state-of-the-art message center through a ground
lease agreement with a private advertising firm. This provides advertising opportunities for local business and
earns the City a modest amount of rental income.
The Development Services Department manages land and building development from concept to completion;
maintains and implements the City’s General Plan and Zoning Code; plans and builds Rohnert Park’s
infrastructure; plans for Rohnert Park’s physical and resource needs by working with local, regional and state
agencies to ensure that there is enough water supply and sewer treatment for Rohnert Park citizens and businesses
now and in the future; and ensures safe structures and physically attractive neighborhoods by enforcing the
California Building Standards Code. In FY12/13 automation efforts included extension of web services by offering
online permitting services to developers and the public, increased utility payment possibilities. The Department has
worked diligently to process land use entitlements and permits for significant land developments this year (Sonoma
Mountain Village, Southeast Specific Plan and University District Specific Plan), and the results of this work will
be seen in the fiscal year to follow.
Despite the reduction in staffing due to budgetary constraints, all City employees are committed to keeping our City
safe and providing the highest quality of public service to our community.
I-4
For the Future
Rohnert Park is home to some of the region’s most affordable, high-quality commercial space. The downsizing of
the telecommunication industry in the early 2000’s has left Rohnert Park with a surplus of commercial units.
Economic development efforts are focused on stimulating interest in locating to Rohnert Park. Recently, several
companies have moved to the former Agilent site, now known as Sonoma Mountain Village. City staff is
optimistic that one or two medium-sized companies will move into the City’s central office area in the coming
year. The City has encouraged or directly invested in several projects to increase foot traffic and daytime presence
in the City’s central area.
Tourism is a key industry in Rohnert Park, contributing significantly to the tax base. The City partners with the
Chamber of Commerce and the Sonoma County Tourism Bureau to promote Rohnert Park as a destination.
Rohnert Park has seven hotels/motels which provide almost 1,000 rooms, and plan to attract more hotels in the near
future. The largest property is the Doubletree Hotel, which offers convention and meeting facilities. The Hampton
Inn captures a previously un-met segment of the tourism market.
Rohnert Park offers a number of amenities for the traveler, including two 18-hole golf courses, a Performing Arts
Center, and a strong base of dining experiences. The Green Music Center at Sonoma State University includes a
world-class concert hall to showcase music and provides education programs year-round. The music center attracts
visitors from within the region and nationwide, due to the quality of the concert experience.
The City is committed to realizing new development anticipated in its General Plan (GP). The GP articulates a
vision for the City that includes an urban growth boundary correlated with a growth management program. It
describes a framework of targeted growth areas, including the creation of a City Center area, the development of a
mixed use area north of the Sonoma State University to integrate with the Green Music Center, the development of
balanced neighborhoods with a variety of housing types, the expansion of commercial uses to the northwest, and
the continued expansion of the City’s network of parks and open space.
The GP provides for an average growth rate of 1% with an ultimate build-out of approximately 20,000 housing
units, 405 acres of commercial, office and industrial uses, 60 acres of mixed use, and 190 acres of open space over
the next twenty years. Legal challenges to the City’s General Plan have been resolved in the City’s favor and the
City is in the midst of Development Agreement discussions with several development groups. Due to recent
downward economic trends, construction is not anticipated until 2014.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls designed to ensure that the
assets of the City are protected from loss, theft, or misuse and to ensure that adequate accounting data are compiled
timely and accurately to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. The City’s internal controls are designed to provide
reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance
recognizes that: (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and (2) the valuation of
costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.
Budgetary Controls.The objective of budgetary controls is to assure compliance with legal provisions embodied
in the annual appropriated budget approved by the City Council. Activities of the General Fund, and certain
Special Revenue and Enterprise Funds are included in the annual appropriated budget. The level of budgetary
control (that is, the level at which expenditures cannot exceed the appropriated amount) is established at the fund
level. The City also maintains an encumbrance accounting system as one technique of accomplishing budgetary
control. All unencumbered appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal year.
As demonstrated by the statements and schedules included in the financial section of this report, the City continues
to meet its responsibility for sound financial management.
I-5
Cash Management.The City’s goals for cash investing are prioritized to protect the principal invested, make cash
available as needed for operations, and earn a return on investment; in that order. Cash is held primarily by the
State and County Investment pools, with some operating cash kept in local banking institutions that provide
efficient operating opportunities at very-low risk.
The following table illustrates the cash invested by the City as of June 30, 2013, by investment type:
Cash and Investments - June 30, 2013
Sonoma County Investment Pool $ 1,918,085
Cash, CD’s and money market funds 15,613,561
State Treasurer LAIF 19,244,418
Total Cash & Investments $36,776,064
Cash temporarily idle during the year was invested in certificates of deposit, State of California Local Agency
Investment Fund (LAIF), Sonoma County Investment Pool, Certificates of Deposit and mutual funds. These
investments are allowed under an investment policy adopted by the City Council. All CDs are FDIC secured and
the City works with two brokerage firms to find attractive investment opportunities.
Risk Management.The City is a member of Redwood Empire Municipal Insurance Fund (REMIF), a joint powers
authority composed of cities located in Northern California. The City maintains coverage for property, liability and
workers’ compensation through REMIF. As of June 30, 1995, REMIF discontinued its indemnity-type health
insurance program and accordingly, the City presently contracts with Anthem Blue Cross for active employees and
retirees under the age of 65; the City contracts with Hartford Insurance for 65+ retirees. Other health related
employee fringe benefit programs used to be self-administered by the City and funded by the General Fund. The
City presently contracts with Delta Dental for dental benefits and V.S.P. for vision benefits.
OTHER INFORMATION
Independent Audit.Management considers an annual audit by independent certified public accountants a sound
and prudent business practice. The accounting firm of Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co., LLP performed the annual
audit for the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. The independent auditor's report on the basic financial
statements and combining and individual fund statements and schedules is included in the financial section of this
report.
Awards.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 for its comprehensive annual financial
report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. This was the thirty-first consecutive year that the City has achieved
this prestigious award. 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.
I-6
Acknowledgments.The preparation of the comprehensive annual financial report was made possible by the
dedicated service of the entire staff of the Finance Department. Most notably, Ana Kwong, Accounting Supervisor,
worked diligently to prepare reports, reconciliations and supporting schedules, and facilities audit completion.
Each member of the department has our sincere appreciation for the contributions made in the preparation of this
report.
Respectfully submitted,

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Rohnert Park, California
Report on the Financial Statements
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 Rohnert Park (the City), as of and for
the year ended June 30, 2013, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the
City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation,
and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable
to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the comptroller general of the United
States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free from material misstatements.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments,
the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such
opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness
of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinions.
F-2
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the City of Rohnert Park, as of June 30, 2013, and the respective changes in financial position and,
where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the City adopted new accounting guidance, GASB Statement
No. 63,Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources, and Net Position
as of June 30, 2013. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion
and analysis, the budgetary comparison schedules, and the schedules of funding progress as listed in the table of
contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the
basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an
essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational,
economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary
information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which
consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the
information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide
any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to
express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise
the City’s basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual nonmajor fund financial
statements and schedules, and the statistical section are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of
management and were derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to
prepare the financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such
information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or
to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund
financial statements and schedules are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements 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 do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.
F-3
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated January 15,2014, on our
consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain
provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to
describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that
testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is
an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s
internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2013
F-4
As management of the City of Rohnert Park (City) we offer readers of the City’s financial statements this overview
and analysis of the City’s financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. We encourage readers to
consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our
letter of transmittal and the City’s basic financial statements, which follow this section.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The assets of the City exceeded liabilities by $130,015,798 (net position) at June 30, 2013, an increase of
$18,044,531 or 16.1 percent over the prior fiscal year. Of this amount, $23,225,583 (unrestricted net position)
may be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors, $33,166,020 is restricted for
specific purposes (restricted net position), and $73,624,195 is net investment in capital assets.
For fiscal year 12-13 (FY 12-13) the increase in net position for business-type activities was $2,917,829; and
the increase for governmental activities was $15,126,702.
Capital assets increased by $3,346,473 during FY 12-13, caused primarily by a project to widen Rohnert Park’s
Wilfred Avenue.
At June 30, 2013, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $53,439,934, an
increase of $13,972,567 from June 30, 2012.
The general fund reported fund balance of $11,253,101 at June 30, 2013; and reports fund balance in these
respective categories:
(1)$2,719,913 is “non-spendable” because money is not going to come in soon enough to support current
spending, like the long-term portion of advances receivable, or the current asset will never be cash, like
prepaid items.
(2)$2,041,125 is restricted fund balance, representing amounts provided by external parties that are
obligated for specific purposes by contract or legislation.
(3)$2,391,104 is assigned by the City Council or City Manager in accordance with policy and/or
budgetary directives.
(4)$4,100,959 is unassigned balance, which represents the residual of total fund balance less the
aforementioned categories. It is available for consideration in the budget process.
Overall, the increase in net position reported in the citywide financial statements, the increase in capital assets, and
the increase in general fund balance all indicate relative financial success for the year. The causes of these positive
indicators are explained in the analysis section of this discussion.
OVERVIEW OF THE 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 comprise three components 1)Government-wide financial statements; 2)Fund
financial statements and 3)Notes to the basic financial statements. This report also contains required and other
supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Government-wide Financial Statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of City finances,
in a manner similar to a private-sector business. These financial statements provide both long-term and short-term
information about the City’s overall financial status.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2013
F-5
The statement of net position presents information on all of the City’s assets and liabilities, with the difference
between the two reported as net position.Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful
indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City’s net position changed during the most
recent fiscal year. All changes in net position 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 result in cash flows in future fiscal periods, such as revenues pertaining to uncollected
taxes and expenses pertaining to earned but unused vacation and sick leave.
Both of these government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported
by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities)from other functions that are intended to recover
all or in part a portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities).The governmental
activities of the City include general government, public safety, public works, parks and recreation, and other. The
business-type activities of the City include water operations, sewer operations and refuse collection operations.
The government-wide financial statements include the City itself (known as the primary government), and a legally
separate entity reported as a component unit, the Rohnert Park Financing Authority (the Financing Authority), for
which the City is financially accountable.
Fund Financial Statements financial information for funds, which are groupings of related accounts 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 finance-related legal compliance. All
of the funds of the City can be divided into three categories:governmental funds,proprietary funds and fiduciary
funds.
Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in
the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements,
governmental funds financial statements focus on near-term inflows and 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
determining what financial resources are available in the near future to finance the City’s programs.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is
useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand
the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental funds balance
sheet and the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a
reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains several individual governmental funds organized according to their type (special revenue, debt
service, capital projects and permanent funds). Information is presented separately in the governmental funds
balance sheet and in the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances for
the General Fund; Housing Projects Special Revenue Fund; Financing Authority; the City Capital Projects; and
Public Facility Finance Fee; all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the remaining governmental
funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation entitled “other governmental funds”. Individual and
combining fund data for each of these non-major governmental funds is provided as supplementary information in
this report.
Proprietary funds are generally used to account for services for which the City charges customers – either outside
customers, or internal units of departments of the City. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as
shown in the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail. The City maintains the following two
types of proprietary funds:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2013
F-6
Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-
wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for the water, sewer, and refuse collection
operations.
Internal service funds are used to report activities that provide supplies and services for certain City programs
and activities. The City uses an internal service fund to account for information systems services. Because
these services predominantly benefit governmental rather than business-type functions, they have been included
within governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the City. The City’s
private-purpose trust funds are reported as fiduciary funds. Since the resources of this fund are not available to
support the City’s own programs, it is not reflected in the government-wide financial statements. The accounting
used for the private-purpose trust fund is similar to that used for proprietary funds.
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of
the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.
The required supplementary information includes the Pension Schedule of Funding Progress and the City’s
General Fund and Housing Projects Special Revenue Fund budgetary comparison schedules. The City adopts an
annual appropriated budget for its General Fund and Housing Projects Special Revenue Fund, and a budgetary
comparison schedule has been provided to demonstrate compliance with this budget.

Statement of Net Position
GovernmentalActivities Business-type Activities Total
Analysis of Net position –Net position may serve as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position.
For the City, combined net position (government and business-type activities) totaled $130 million at June 30,
2013, comprised of total assets of $183.2 million, less total liabilities of $53.2 million.
Combined net position increased by $18.0 million during the year, with assets increasing $23.7 million offset by
liability increases of $5.7 million. Assets increased primarily due to contributions for the Eastside Sewer Trunk and
Wilfred Avenue Widening projects discussed further in the funds’ analysis section of this discussion. The majority
of the liability increase is related to actuarially-determined post-employment medical expenses in excess of cash
payments (pay-go).
A portion of the City’s net position (17.9%) represents unrestricted net position of $23.2 million, which may be
used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
An additional portion of the City’s net position of $33.2 million (25.5%) represents resources that are subject to
external restrictions on how they may be used.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City reported positive balances in all three categories of net position, both
for the City as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and business-type activities except that the City
Capital Projects Fund has a deficit of $0.5 million caused by fund expenditures in advance of related
reimbursements and transfers that will occur next year.

Governmental activities.Governmental activities increased the City’s net position by $15,126,702.
Key elements of the change in net position are as follows:
Total governmental activities revenue increased by $7,798,039 during FY 12-13 due to the net effect of an
increase in operating and capital grants and contributions, modest growth in general fund tax-support revenue,
and reimbursements for capital project contributions reported as other income; offset by the property tax
decline attributed to the dissolution of the City’s prior Redevelopment Agency of approximately $12.5 million.
The City's governmental activities operating grants and contributions revenue increased by $13,003,423 due to
non-recurring contribution of $12.8 million from the Federated Indians of the Graton Rancheria (Tribe) for the
Eastside Sewer Trunk Project. Capital grants and contributions increased year-over-year due to reimbursements
made by the Tribe for the Wilfred Avenue Widening Project.
General revenues and transfers decreased by $8,921,045 due to a reduction in property taxes caused by the
dissolution of the former Redevelopment Agency; offset by modest gains in other categories of revenues, such
as property taxes not related to redevelopment, transient occupancy taxes and sales taxes; and a one-time
increase in other revenue to reimburse the City for its costs of the Wilfred Avenue Widening project.
In May 2011, the City Council approved implementation of a “Fiscal Health Plan” that aligns operating
expenditures with ongoing revenues. This plan calls for budget reductions in response to revenue decreases
and increased costs of retirement and post-employment medical plans. The City now uses a ten-year forecasting
tool to provide vision on long-term financial issues and to point out structural budgetary weaknesses.
Total expenses decreased by $5,477,587. Operating expenses were reduced primarily in the areas of General
Government, Public Works, and interest on long-term debt. This is a direct result of the City controlling
expenditures to alignment with current operating revenue, and increased principal payments on debt.
Business-type activities.Business-type activities increased the City’s net position by $2,917,829. Key factors of
this increase are as follows:
Net position in the Water Fund increased by $1,831,099 primarily due to a one-time reimbursement for a
recycled water system provided by Sonoma County Water Agency.
The Sewer Fund net position increased by $1,437,897 as revenues from operations exceeded expenditures. The
increase is mainly due to a revised rate structure that sets aside money for future capital replacement.
The refuse collection net position decreased by $351,167 primarily due to the shifting of refuse billings back to
Rohnert Park Disposal, a non-governmental entity that provides refuse collection services.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY’S FUNDS
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal
requirements.
Governmental funds.The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows,
outflows and balances of resources that are available for spending. Such information is useful in assessing the
City’s financial requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a
government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. Types of governmental funds
reported by the City include the general fund, special revenue funds, debt service funds, capital projects funds and
the permanent fund.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $53.4
million, an increase of $14 million in comparison with the prior year. The fund balance total is categorized as
follows: $13.3 million is non-spendable,representing prepaid items and long-term receivables reported as advances
loans, and notes; $31.5 million is restricted by external funding sources; $2.6 million is committed; $2.4 million is
assigned and $3.6 million is un-assigned and available for use at the City’s direction.
The restricted fund balance’s use is limited to the following purposes:a) street projects, $2.1 million; b) community
development projects, $11.9 million; c) capital projects $15.1 million; and, d) general government, parks,
recreation, and health and safety $2.4 million.
For FY 12-13 revenues for governmental funds totaled $47.3 million, while expenditures totaled $33.1 million, for
$14.2 million in revenues over expenditures. After net transfers out of $0.2 million, the reported combined change
in governmental funds’ balances was $14.0 million.
General Fund.
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At June 30, 2013 the fund reports balances as follows:
$2.7 million is non-spendable, representing prepaid items and long-term receivables; $2 million is restricted for
housing programs, general government, parks, recreation, and health and safety; and, $2.4 is assigned to purposes
designated by the City Council; and $4.1 million is unassigned fund balance.
General fund balance increased $1.4 million due to the revenue and reimbursement increases and expenditure
control. Sales and use tax increased by $0.5 million, and transient occupancy tax increase by $0.3 million,
reflecting a modest economic recovery. Ongoing operating expenditures were flat, reflecting the Council’s
budgetary directives. Changes to the method for allocating general fund costs to other funds caused increases in
operating transfers and expenditures, but had no net impact on general fund balances.
The Housing Projects Special Revenue Fund decreased by $1.8 million due to debt service requirements and a $1.0
million payment to the State of California, Department of Finance related to dissolution of the former
Redevelopment Agency.
The Public Facility Finance Fee Special Revenue Fund increased by $12.4 million mainly due to contributions
made by the Tribe for the Eastside Sewer Trunk Project.
Proprietary funds. The City’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-
wide financial statements, but in more detail.
CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2013
F-11
At the end of the fiscal year, the unrestricted net position for the Water Fund was $6.2 million; the Sewer Fund had
an unrestricted net deficit of ($1.3 million); and the Refuse Collection Fund had unrestricted net position of $0.7
million.
The total increase in net position for proprietary funds was $2.9 million from the prior year. Factors concerning the
finances of these funds have been addressed previously in the discussion of the City’s business-type activities.
Fiduciary funds. The City’s fiduciary funds consist of two private purpose trust funds: the RDA Obligation
Retirement Trust Fund; and the Special Enforcement Unit – South. The RDA Obligation Retirement Trust Fund
accounts for debt repayment and related tax receipts for the redevelopment agency that was dissolved in FY 11-12.
The Special Enforcement Unit – South accounts for seized assets held for other governments. The net position of
fiduciary activities increased by $983,800 primarily related to tax receipts in excess of debt service payments made
by the successor agency to the former redevelopment agency.
GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
The 2012-13 budget highlights are:
Total operating revenue was budgeted at $22.1 million, relatively flat to the 2011-12 budget. Actual revenue
beat expectations in many categories, with property tax $334,569 over budget due to residual tax distributions
related to RDA dissolution. Sales tax was $557,267 over budget, and is attributed to increased local sales.
Transient occupancy tax was $502,885 or 29.6% over budget, a positive sign of tourism rebounding. Revenue
gains are indicative of the modest economic recovery.
Total expenditures were budgeted at $26.2 million, an increase of $2.9 million over the previous year’s
amended budget. The City made a concerted effort to reduce departmental operating budgets while
maintaining the current level of service, as well as negotiate salary reductions for all employees. Total
expenditures were under budget by $2.2 million for the fiscal year, primarily due to negotiated salary
reductions, unfilled and vacancy positions, and tighter controls on materials, supplies and equipment spending.
Total change in fund balance was budgeted to decrease by $2.7 million; however, primarily due to expenditures
being below budget, total performance of the general fund had a positive variance of $4.1 million as compared
to the final budget.
CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital assets
The City’s capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities as of June 30, 2013, amounted to $96
million (net of accumulated depreciation). Reported capital assets categories include land and easements;
infrastructure, structures and improvements; equipment; and construction in progress. Major capital asset events
during the current fiscal year included the following:
For government activities, construction in progress increased by a net of $6.6 million. Projects in progress
include:
o American Recovery Act Street Maintenance $1.4 million;
o Specific Plan projects $1.5 million;
o Rancho Verde Traffic signal $0.4 million;

acquisition date to the end of the current fiscal year. Governmental fund financial statements record capital asset
purchases as expenditures.

Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budget and Rates
General fund revenues are expected to increase modestly over the next year. According to the Sonoma County
Economic Development Board, Sonoma County has experienced job growth that is above the state and national
growth. Although unemployment remains high relative to pre-recession levels, Sonoma County has seen
steady decrease in the unemployment rate over the past 2 years. Major construction projects such as the
Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) and the Sonoma County Airport expansion are expected to help the
ailing construction sector and increase in tourism.
The City has made concerted efforts to attract visitors, create jobs, and provided recreational activies, as
evidenced by projects like the Donald & Maureen Green Music Center and the Graton Resort and Casino which
have recently opened and drawn a great deal of public attention.
The City Council’s decision to pursue construction of a $13 million sewer trunk line on the east side of the City
is intended to boost residential housing projects and other projects in future years.
Transient Occupancy tax increased by 13.5% for FY 12-13, and is projected to maintain that pace in FY13/14.
Sales tax revenue in Rohnert Park increased by $492,873, or 5.4% over the prior year, mainly due to half-cent
sales tax with Measure E performing well over projection. As sales tax is the largest source of revenue for the
Rohnert Park General Fund (38%), the City has developed an economic development plan and focused on
implementing facets of the plan during fiscal year 2012-13, which include continuing work on the new
development in the specific plan areas, coordinating efforts to fill existing infill and working with the local
business community to assist and retain local businesses.

To address the structural deficit created by the dramatic decline in revenues, the City continues to work to
create a plan and establish a foundation from which we may work towards success with a 10 year financial
recovery model, while still delivering the core essential services. The FY13/14 budget demonstrates the City’s
commitment to continue to endure, yet maintain our core functions and services at the lowest possible cost.
All of these factors were considered in preparing the City’s budget for FY 2013/14.

activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated usefullives and
reported as depreciation expense.

previous years and reported as beginning net position in the statement of activities.

for governmentalfunds are reported as revenues in the statement of activities. 216,381

while the repayment of the principalof long-term debt consumes the current financial
resources of governmentalfunds, Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net
position. Also, governmentalfunds report the effect of issuance costs, premiums,
discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are
deferred and amortized in the statement of activities.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REPORTING ENTITY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of the Reporting Entity - The basic financial statements of the City of Rohnert Park, California (City)
include the financial activities of the City (the primary government) and its component unit. The component unit
discussed below is included in the City’s reporting entity because of the significance of their operational or
financial relationship with the City. The blended component unit, although a legally separate entity, is in substance,
part of the City’s operations and so data from these units is combined with data of the primary government. The
City’s blended component unit has a June 30 year-end.
The Rohnert Park Financing Authority (Financing Authority) is a joint powers authority, organized pursuant to a
joint exercise of powers agreement (Agreement), dated as of January 1, 1999, between the City and the Community
Development Commission (now the Successor Agency). The Agreement was entered into pursuant to the
Government Code of the State of California, commencing with Section 6500. The Financing Authority is a
separate entity constituting a public instrumentality of the State of California and was formed for the public purpose
of assisting in financing activities for the benefit of the City and the Commission. The Financing Authority is
governed by a board consisting of all the members of the City Council.
Component unit financial statements for the Financing Authority can be obtained from the Finance Department of
the City at 130 Avram Avenue, Rohnert Park, CA 94928.
Description of Joint Powers Participation - The City participates in a joint powers activity through a formally
organized and separate entity. The financial activities of the Redwood Empire Municipal Insurance Fund are not
included in the basic financial statements of the City as it is administered by a board that is separate from and
independent of the City.
Basis of Presentation
Government-wide Financial Statements - The statement of net position and statement of activities display
information about the primary government (City) and its component unit. These statements include the financial
activities of the overall government, except for fiduciary activities. Eliminations have been made to minimize the
double counting of internal activities. These statements distinguish between the governmental and business-type
activities of the City and between the City and its discretely presented component unit. Governmental activities,
which normally are supported by taxes and inter-governmental revenues, are reported separately from business-
type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees charged to external parties.
CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2013
F-27
The statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each segment
of the business-type activities of the City and for each function of the City’s governmental activities. Direct
expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and therefore, are clearly identifiable
to a particular function. Program revenues include 1) charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by
the programs and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements
of a particular program. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented
instead as general revenues.
Fund Financial Statements - The fund financial statements provide information about the City’s funds, including
fiduciary funds and blended component unit. Separate statements for each fund category –governmental,
proprietary and fiduciary – are presented. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-
balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures or expenses, as
appropriate. Government resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes
for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. The emphasis of fund
financial statements is on major governmental and enterprise funds, each displayed in a separate column. All
remaining governmental and enterprise funds are separately aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It accounts for all financial resources traditionally
associated with governments, which are not required to be accounted for in another fund.
Housing Projects Special Revenue Fund accounts the activities from the previous Community Development
Commission Housing Projects Special Revenue Fund effective February 1, 2012. It is used to account for
the restricted or committed revenue and expenditures of a portion of the City’s Low Income Housing
activities.
Financing Authority Debt Service Fund accounts for capital items financed by certificates of participation.
City Capital Projects Fund accounts for resources used for the acquisition of capital facilities, except for
those capital facilities financed by enterprise funds, special assessment resources or Community
Development Commission resources.
Public Facility Finance Fee Fund accounts for the financial activities related to the approved Public Facilities
Finance Plan (Facilities Plan). The Facilities Plan’s purpose is to manage the costs of capital facilities,
maintenance and services that are impacted by new development.

The City reports the following major enterprise funds:
Water Fund accounts for water production to the residents of the City. The activities necessary to provide
such service are accounted for in the fund, including, but not limited to, operations, maintenance, financing
and related debt service, and billing and collection.
Sewer Fund accounts for sewage disposal to the residents of the City. The activities necessary to provide
such service are accounted for in the fund, including, but not limited to, operations, maintenance, financing
and related debt service, and billing and collection.
Refuse Collection Fund accounts for service performed by an independent contractor. The activities
necessary to provide such service are accounted for in the fund, including but not limited to contractual
services and billing and collection services.
The City reports the following additional fund types:
Permanent Fund (a governmental fund type)accounts for accumulation of capital donated for the City of
Rohnert Park’s Dorothy Rohnert Spreckels Performing Arts Center. The interest generated from the
donations will be used for the operations of the Performing Arts Center while the corpus is non-spendable.
Internal Service Fund (a proprietary fund type)accounts for the activities of centralized data processing
services and the related billings to other City departments and funds.
Special Enforcement Unit - South Private-Purpose Trust Fund (a fiduciary fund type)accounts for assets
held by the City in a trustee capacity for the benefit of law enforcement agencies in the region.
Redevelopment Agency Obligation Retirement Trust Fund is used to account for the assets held for the
dissolution of the former RDA.
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or expenses are recognized in the accounts and
reported in the basic financial statements. The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is
determined by its measurement focus. All governmental funds are accounted for using a current financial resources
measurement focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities generally are included
on the balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds present increases (i.e., revenues and other financing
sources) and decreases (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. When both restricted and
unrestricted net position are available, unrestricted resources are used only after the restricted resources are
depleted.
The government-wide, proprietary and private-purpose trust fund financial statements are accounted for on a flow
of economic resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, all assets and all liabilities associated
with the operation of these funds are included on the statement of net position. Operating statements of these funds
present increases (i.e., revenues) and decreases (i.e., expenses) in total net position.
Government-wide financial statements are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues
are recognized when they are earned and expenses are recognized when they are incurred.
CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2013
F-29
Governmental funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Their revenues are
recognized when they become measurable and available as net current assets. The City considers property
taxes as available if they are levied and collected within 60 days after year-end. The availability period for
all other revenues susceptible to accrual is also 60 days. Revenues considered susceptible to accrual include
property taxes, sales tax, licenses, interest and rentals, charges for services and intergovernmental revenues.
All other revenues are recognized only when the cash receipts are collected. Expenditures are recorded
when the related fund liability is incurred, except that principal and interest on long-term debt, compensated
absences and claims are recognized when due.
Proprietary funds and the private-purpose trust fund are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting.
Revenues are recognized when they are earned and expenses are recognized when they are incurred. Water,
sewer and refuse collection service revenues earned at June 30, but unbilled, are recognized.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues
and expenses generally result from providing services in connection with the fund’s principal ongoing
operations. The principal operating revenues of the City’s enterprise and internal service funds are charges
for customer services including: water, sewer and refuse collection, and service support charges. Operating
expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of services, administrative expenses
and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as
nonoperating revenues and expenses.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the City considers all highly liquid
investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The proprietary funds
"deposits" in the City cash and investments pool are, in substance, demand deposits and are therefore considered
cash equivalents.
Investments – Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Investments in nonparticipating interest-
earning investment contracts (certificates of deposits and guaranteed investment contracts) are reported at cost, and
all other investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is defined as the amount that the City could reasonably
expect to receive for an investment in a current sale between a willing buyer and seller and is generally measured
by quoted market prices.
Transactions with Joint Powers - Premiums paid to the Redwood Empire Municipal Insurance Fund are recorded as
expenditures of the General Fund and expenses in the statement of activities. Dividends received are recorded as a
reduction of expenditures/expenses.

Bond Discounts, Premiums, Issuance Costs, and Deferred Amounts on Refundings - For governmental fund
financial statements, bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs are recognized during the period the
bonds are issued. Bonds issued are reported as other financing sources including any applicable premiums.
Discounts are reported as a separate financing use. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual net
proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures. For government-wide and proprietary fund financial
statements, bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the
bonds. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Issuance costs are reported as
deferred charges.
Gains or losses occurring from advance refunding are deferred and amortized into expense for both business-type
activities and proprietary funds. For governmental activities, they are deferred and amortized into expense if they
occurred subsequent to June 30, 2001. Bonds payable are reported net of deferred amounts on refundings.
Prepaid Items – Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded
as prepaid items in both the government-wide and fund financial statements.
Capital Assets - are valued at historical cost or, for donated capital assets, at their fair market value on the date
donated. Capital assets include public domain (infrastructure) general capital assets consisting of certain
improvement including roads, bridges, water/sewer, lighting system, drainage systems, and flood control. The City
defines capital assets as assets with an estimated useful life in excess of one year and a value of $5,000 or more.
Capital assets used in operations are depreciated or amortized (assets under capital leases) using the straight-line
method over the lesser of the capital lease period or their estimated useful lives in the government-wide and
proprietary fund financial statements. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Primary Government
Infrastructure 30 years
Structure and improvements 35 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment 3 – 35 years
Accumulated Unpaid Vacation and Sick Pay - It is the policy of the City to permit employees to accumulate earned
but unused vacation and sick leave benefits. Vested or accumulated vacation and sick leave are reported as long-
term liabilities on the statement of net position. If amounts are due and payable at fiscal year-end, they are
recorded as liabilities in the governmental funds.
Claims Liabilities - The City has accrued for claim liabilities including estimated claims incurred but not yet
reported and related allocated loss adjustment expenses.

Property Tax Levy, Collection and Maximum Rates - The State of California Constitution Article XIIIA provides
that the combined maximum property tax rate on any given property may not exceed one percent of its assessed
value unless an additional amount for debt or assessments has been approved by voters. Assessed value is
calculated at 100% of market value as defined by Article XIIIA and may be increased no more than two percent per
year unless the property is sold, transferred or improved. The State Legislature has determined the method of
distribution of receipts from a one percent tax levy among the counties, cities, school districts and other districts.
Sonoma County assesses properties, bills for and collects property taxes as follows:
Secured Unsecured
Lien dates January 1 January 1
Levy dates July 1 July 1
Due dates 50% on November 1 July 1
50% on February 1
Delinquent after December 10 (for November) August 31
April10 (for February)
The term “unsecured” refers to taxes on personal property other than land and buildings. Secured taxes are secured
by liens on the property being taxed.
Property tax revenues are recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes have been levied.
Interfund Transactions - Interfund transactions are reflected as loans, services provided, reimbursements or
transfers. Loans and residual balances outstanding in the fund financial statements are reported as receivables and
payables as appropriate, are subject to elimination upon consolidation and are referred to as either “due to/from
other funds” (e.g., the current portion of interfund loans) or “advances to/from other funds” (e.g., the noncurrent
portion of interfund loans). Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and the
business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as “internal balances”. Advances
to other funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a fund balance reserve account in
applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not available
financial resources.
Services provided, deemed to be at market or near market rates, are treated as revenues and expenditures/expenses.
Reimbursements are when one fund incurs a cost, charges the appropriate benefiting fund and reduces its related
cost as a reimbursement. All other interfund transactions are treated as transfers. Transfers between governmental
or proprietary funds are netted as part of the reconciliation to the government-wide presentation.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

it. At June 30, 2013 the carrying value of the City’s deposits and cash on hand was $10,879,741. The City is not
exposed to such risks as all deposits are insured or collateralized.
Investments

F-33
United States Government and agency investments are required to be of the highest rating available at the time of
purchase. Certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances and savings type accounts must be fully insured or
collateralized.
Credit risk
Credit risk relates to the possibility that an issuer/counterparty to an investment will be unable to fulfill its
obligations. The City’s investment policy is to apply the prudent-person rule: Investments are made as a prudent
person would be expected to act, with discretion and intelligence, to seek reasonable income, preserve capital, and
in general avoid speculative investments. The City’s investment policy includes investments permitted by the
California Government Code and limits medium-term negotiable certificates of deposits, bankers’ acceptances and
commercial paper invests as follows:
Medium-term corporate notes, including bank notes and deposits notes, must be issued by corporations
doing business in the United States as outlined in the California Government Code. Issuers must possess an
acceptable long-term senior debt rating by two of the nationally recognized rating services; i.e., Moody’s
Investors Services, Standard & Poor’s Fitch or Duff & Phelps for maturities of five years or less, a
minimum rating of “AAA” or better.
Negotiable certificates of deposit must be issued by a federal or state chartered bank or a state saving
association or a state licensed, domestic bank of a foreign bank. Issuers must possess an acceptable long-
term senior debt rating by two of the nationally recognized rating services; i.e., Moody’s Investors
Services, Standard & Poor’s Fitch or Duff & Phelps for maturities of five years or less, a minimum rating
of “AAA” or better.
Commercial Paper - State law limits investments in commercial paper to be of “prime” quality of the
highest ranking of the highest letter and number rating as provided for by a nationally recognized
statistical-rating organization (NRSRO).
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment.
The City has an investment policy of lengthening its maturities when rates are falling and shortening its maturities
when rates are rising as a means of managing its exposure to fair value losses and to take advantage of
advantageous interest rates. The City has about 91% of its investments in maturities of less than 1 year in order to
take advantage of anticipated rising interest rates.
As of June 30, 2013, the City’s investments consisted of the following:
Investment Type Fair Value Less than 1 year 1-3 years More than 3 years Credit Rating

As of June 30, 2013, the City’s investment in LAIF was $19,224,418, which has a weighted average maturity of
278 days. The total amount invested by all public agencies in LAIF at that date is approximately $21.2 billion. The
City’s proportionate share of structured notes and asset-backed securities held by the LAIF was $376,799 or 1.96%
of the City’s investment in LAIF. The Local Investment Advisory Board (Board) has oversight responsibility for
LAIF. The Board consists of five members as designated by State Statute. The value of the pool shares in LAIF
that may be withdrawn is determined on an amortized cost basis, which is different from the fair value of the City’s
position in the pool. The City’s investment in LAIF is unrated for credit risk.
As of June 30, 2013, the City’s investment in the County’s Pool was $1,918,085, which has a weighted average
maturity of 1,102 days. The total amount invested by the County’s Pool at that date is approximately $1.5 billion.
The County’s Pool is subject to regulatory oversight by the Treasury Oversight Committee. The value of the pool
shares in the County Pool that may be withdrawn is determined on an amortized cost basis, which is different from
the fair value of the City’s position in the pool. The City’s investment in the County Pool is unrated for credit risk.
4. LOANS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE, NET
In August 2003, the City entered into an amendment to a ground lease dated May 29, 2001 with Rohnert Park Golf,
L.P. (Tenant), whereby the tenant leases certain property and improvements from the City. The City made a one-
time advance totaling $355,000 to the Tenant for the purpose of making improvements to the golf course, and on-
going capital contributions to the Tenant as defined in the agreement. At June 30, 2013, the outstanding balance
owed to the City was $61,685, and principal payments of the advance are paid in equal monthly installments over
10 years. Interest is earned by the City on the unpaid principal portion at a rate of 5% per annum.
The Commission (the former RDA Housing Projects Special Revenue Fund which is now the Housing Project
Special Revenue Fund effective February 1, 2012) extends various developer loans, first-time homebuyer loans,
and rehabilitation loans to property owners for the rehabilitation and improvements of commercial buildings and
residential homes, and other loans for families and individuals of low/moderate income. The Housing Project

Legal Debt Limit
As of June 30, 2013, the City’s legal debt limit (15% of valuation subject to taxation) was $542,024,000. As of
June 30, 2013, the City has no debt subject to the debt limit.
Arbitrage
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 instituted certain arbitrage restrictions with respect to the issuance of tax-exempt
bonds after August 31, 1986. Arbitrage regulations deal with the investment of all tax-exempt bond proceeds at an
interest yield greater than the interest yield paid to bondholders. Generally, all interest paid to bondholders can be
retroactively rendered taxable if applicable rebates are not reported and paid to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
at least every five years. During the current year, Willdan Financial Services performed calculations of excess
investment earnings on various bonds and financings and at June 30, 2013, the City has no liability.

9. EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT PLAN
Plan Description – All permanent employees are eligible to participate in the Public Employees’ Retirement Fund
(the Fund) of the State of California’s Public Employees Retirement System (CALPERS). The Fund is an agent
multiple-employer defined benefit plan that acts as a common investment and administrative agent for various local
and state governmental agencies within the State of California. However, the Fund is pooled for the City’s safety
employees, therefore the safety plan is considered a cost-sharing plan from the City’s perspective. The Fund
provides retirement, disability, and death benefits based on the employee’s years of service, age and final
compensation. Employees vest after five years of service and may receive retirement benefits at age fifty. These
benefit provisions and all other requirements are established by State statute and City ordinance. Copies of the
Fund’s annual financial report may be obtained from CALPERS’ executive office: 400 P. Street, Sacramento, CA
95814. A separate report for the City’s plan within the Fund is not available.

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Funding Policy – Effective August 1, 2011 the employees contribute 100% of the required members contribution,
safety (9%) and miscellaneous first/second tier (8%) and miscellaneous third tier (7%) of their annual covered
salary to the Fund. The City is required to contribute at an actuarially determined rate. The actuarial methods and
assumptions used are those adopted by the Fund’s Board of Administration. The required employer contribution
rates for fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 were 44.552% for safety employees and 24.554% for miscellaneous
employees of annual covered payroll. The contribution requirements of the plan members are established by State
statute and the employer contribution rate is established and may be amended by CalPERS.
Annual Pension Cost – The City’s annual pension cost for the Fund was equal to the City’s required and actual
contributions, which was determined as part of the June 30, 2010 actuarial valuation using the entry age normal
actuarial cost method. The actuarial assumptions included (a) 7.75% investment rate of return (net of
administrative expenses) and (b) projected salary increases from 3.55% to 14.45% depending on age, service and
type of employment. Both (a) and (b) include an inflation component of 3%. 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 30-year rolling period, which results in an amortization of about 6%
of unamortized gains and losses each year. The actuarial value of City’s assets was determined using a 15 year
smoothed market technique.

10.POST EMPLOYMENT HEALTH CARE BENEFITS
Plan Description
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the City implemented GASB Statement No. 45,Accounting and
Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other than Pensions. This statement establishes uniform
financial reporting standards for employers providing postemployment benefits. The provisions of this statement
are applied on a prospective basis.
The City’s single employer defined benefit postemployment healthcare plan (OPEB Plan) provides health insurance
benefits under the Anthem Blue Cross, the Hartford, or Kaiser health plans to eligible retirees and dependents in
accordance with various labor agreements. Employees are eligible for retiree health benefits and life insurance
benefits if they retire from the City on or after age 50 (unless disabled) and are eligible for a PERS pension.
Employees hired after June 30, 2007 are under a defined contribution plan which is funded monthly and are not
eligible to continue coverage under the City’s health plans and thus are not included in the OPEB calculation.
Funding Policy
At the May 10, 2011 budget work session, the City Council directed staff to adopt a 20-year phase-in plan to set
aside monies in the General Fund. To fund its OPEB obligations, the City entered into an agreement with
California Pubic Employer Retiree System (CalPERS) to provide California Employer’s Retiree Benefit trust
(CERBT) services starting June of 2011. The Water and Sewer components are funding the full annual required
contributions.

Benefits to retirees $12,840 per retiree for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 (a total of $1,415,358, including
implied subsidy amounts) for the year. The City’s annual other postemployment benefit (OPEB) cost (expense) is
calculated based on the annual required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount which was determined as
part of a July 1, 2011 actuarial valuation and updated to July 1, 2012 in accordance with the parameters of GASB
Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover
normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to
exceed 30 years. The City has elected to amortize the unfunded actuarial accrued liability over 30 years from July
1, 2010 using a level dollar, closed amortization period. The ARC is subject to change with each actuarial
valuation performed every two years.
The City has calculated and recorded the net OPEB obligation, representing the difference between the ARC,
amortization and contributions, as follows (in thousands):
Annual required Contributions (ARC) 3,610$
Interest on beginning net OPEB Obligation 321
Adjustment to ARC * (498)
Total OPEB Cost 3,433
Contributions made by the City (2,016)
Increase in net OPEB Obligation 1,417
Net OPEB obligations, beginning of the year 8,247
Net OPEB obligations, end of the year 9,664$
* Adjustment reflects a reduction of $74,000 for 2011-12 contribution
and revision to ARC.
Net OPEB Obligation is allocated across the governmental and enterprise funds based on their proportionate current
retiree healthcare expenses. The City’s annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the
plan, and the net OPEB obligation for fiscal year 2013 and the two preceding years were as follows (in thousands):

The OPEB schedule of funding progress in the Required Supplementary Information section following the notes to
the financial statements presents multi-year trend information.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan as understood by the
employer and plan members, and include the types of plan benefits provided at the time of the valuation and the
historical pattern of sharing 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 actuarial cost method used for determining the Actuarial Accrued Liability (AAL) is the Entry Age Normal
Cost Method. The actuarial assumptions used in calculating the fiscal year 2012/13 Annual Required Contribution
(ARC) include a 6.5 percent prefunding discount rate and 4.0 percent pay-as-you-go discount rate, covered payroll
increases of 3.25 percent per year, an inflation rate of 3.0 percent per year, and a medical increase trend rate starting
at 8.5 percent per year, and decreasing gradually over a 7 year period to an ultimate rate of 5.75 percent per year.
The economic assumptions used in calculating the 6/30/13 funded status are the same except that the medical
increase rates are 8.5% decreasing gradually to the ultimate rate of 5.75% In calculating the 201/13 Annual
Required Contribution (ARC), unfunded actuarial accrued liabilities (UAAL) are being amortized as a level dollar
amount over a closed 26 year period.
Funded Status and Funding Progress
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 investment return,
future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of
the plan and 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 three-year
trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to
the actuarial accrued liabilities for plan benefits.

11. FUND BALANCE / NET POSITION
Fund balance is classified in accordance with GASB issued Statement No. 54, which classifies fund balance into
five different components. The components are nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned.
Nonspendable resources are not in spendable form or required to be maintained intact such as an
endowment.
Restricted resources are subject to externally enforceable legal restrictions or imposed by law through
constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Committed resources reflect amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints
imposed by a formal action of the entity’s “highest level of decision making authority,” which would be by
an ordinance passed by the City Council. The constraint remains binding unless modified or rescinded in
the same formal manner by the City Council.
Assigned resources are constrained by the City’s intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither
restricted nor committed.
Per GASB 54, the lowest level of constraint for capital project funds is the assigned classification. The
unassigned classification is to be used when there are negative residual resources in excess of what can be
properly classified as nonspendable, restricted, committed or assigned.
When expenditures are incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted (committed, assigned, or
unassigned) fund balances are available, the city’s practice is to first apply restricted fund balance. When
expenditures are incurred for purposes for which committed, assigned or unassigned fund balances are available,
the City’s practice is to first apply committed fund balance. It is at the discretion of the Council’s designee to then
apply the remaining expenditures to assigned or unassigned fund balance.
The Finance Director has the authority to assign fund balance amounts where the City’s intent is for those amounts
to be used for specific purposes. This delegation of authority is for the sole purpose of reporting these amounts in
the annual financial statements.

Net investment in capital assets – consists of capital assets including restricted capital assets, net of
accumulated depreciation and reduced by the outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes, or other
borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets.
Restricted net position – consists of net position with constraints placed on the use either by: 1) external
groups such as creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or 2) law
through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
Unrestricted net position – all other net position that do not meet the definition of “restricted” or “invested
in capital assets, net of related debt.”
12. RISK MANAGEMENT
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and
omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The City reports all of its risk management activities in its
General Fund. The City participates in the Redwood Empire Municipal Insurance Fund (REMIF), a joint powers
agency (risk-sharing pool) established in May 1976 to provide an independently managed self-insurance program
for member cities. The purpose of REMIF is to spread the adverse effect of losses among the member agencies and
to purchase excess insurance as a group, thereby reducing its costs.
The City’s deductibles and maximum coverage follows:
Excess
Coverage: Deductible REMIF Coverage
General liability 5,000$ 500,000$ 39,500,000$
Workers’ compensation 5,000 1,000,000 Statutory
Property damage 5,000 25,000 300,000,000
Automobile liability 5,000 10,000 39,500,000
Earthquake and flood 100,000 - 40,000,000
Fidelity 5,000 25,000 2,000,000
The City contributes its pro-rata share of anticipated losses to a pool administered by REMIF. Should actual losses
among participants be greater than the anticipated losses, the City will be assessed its pro-rata share of that
deficiency. Conversely, if the actual losses are less than anticipated, the City will be refunded its pro-rata share of
the excess. The City paid insurance premiums and deductibles of $1,173,813 and received REMIF refunds of
$50,332 during the year ended June 30, 2013. Settled claims have not exceeded commercial excess liability
coverage in any of the past three fiscal years.
Claims expenditures and liabilities are reported for self-insured deductibles when it is probable that a loss has
occurred and the amount of that loss can be reasonably estimated. These losses include an estimate of claims that
have been incurred but not reported (IBNR). At June 30, 2013 the amount of these IBNR liabilities was $43,364.
This liability is the City's best estimate based on available information.

liabilities.
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The city is directly and indirectly involved in various suits relating principally to claims arising from construction
contracts, personal injury, and property damage. In the opinion of the City Attorney and City Management,
potential claims against the City resulting from such litigation, not covered by insurance, would not materially
affect the basic financial statements of the City. As a result, no liability has been accrued by the City relating to
these environment matters as of June 30, 2013.
The City participates in several State grant programs. These programs have been audited by the City’s independent
auditors when required, in accordance with the applicable State requirements. No cost disallowances were
proposed as a result of these audits; however, these programs are still subject to further examination by the grantors
and the amount, if any, of expenditures which may be disallowed by the granting agencies cannot be determined at
this time. The City expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.
The City has an agreement with a private party for the purchase of certain vacant parcels known as the Stadium
Lands under an Option to Purchase and Purchase Agreement dated April 8, 2003. To date the City has received
$2.6 million in accordance with the agreement. The private party has terminated the option on one parcel and
indicates they wish to exercise their option on two parcels. The City is currently discussing the details of the
closing with the private party. Depending on the terms of the closing, the City may realize a gain or loss of up to
$300,000.

15. RESTATEMENT TO PRIOR PERIOD BALANCES
The City determined that $342,359 was incorrectly reported in the General Fund as a liability. The past practice
was that this account was for "set aside" future dental insurance premiums and thus the amount was not an actual
liability. As such, the beginning General fund balance and the beginning net position as of July 1, 2012 were
restated to reflect that adjustment.

under a loan agreement originally executed in June 1988. Payments on the loan are subject to administrative
approval processes in accord with the Redevelopment Dissolution Law.

was for legitimate redevelopment purposes, as is required for repayment under Health and Safety Code Section
34191.4(b)(2)(A); and issued its Resolution Number OSB 2013-05 in support of loan repayment.
On November 1, 2013, after review of the Oversight Board’s resolution, the State of California Department of
Finance (DOF) provided the City with a notice of approval of the Oversight Board’s action, and cited qualifications
for loan repayment in accordance with the Health and Safety Code (HSC) section 34191.4.
Repayment is limited to increases in future residual tax distributions to taxing entities.

Investment Fund (LAIF) rate. The LAIF is a pooled cash investment fund that agencies within the State of
California, use for short term cash custody and investment.

Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The City operates under the general laws of the State of California and annually adopts a budget for its
General Fund to be effective July 1 for the ensuing fiscal year. From the effective date of the budget,
which is adopted and controlled at the department level, the amounts stated therein as proposed
expenditures become appropriations to the various City departments. The City Council may amend the
budget by resolution during the fiscal year. The legal level of budgetary control is the fund level. The
City Manager may authorize transfers from one account to another within the same department. All
unencumbered appropriations lapse at year-end.
Annual budgets for the City General Fund, Housing Projects Special Revenue Fund, State Gasoline Tax
Special Revenue Fund, Measure M Traffic Fund, Prop 1B Special Revenue Fund, Traffic Signals Fee
Special Revenue Fund, Capital Outlay Fee Special Revenue Fund, Supplemental Law Enforcement
Services Special Revenue Fund, , DIVCA PEG Fee (AB 2987) Special Revenue Fund, Traffic Congestion
Relief (AB2928) Special Revenue Fund, Graton Mitigation Special Revenue Fund, Graton Mitigation
Special Enforcement Activity Special Revenue Fund, Measure M Fire Benefit Assessment Special
Revenue Fund, Mobile Home Rent Appeals Board Special Revenue Fund, and Copeland Creek Drainage
Facility Special Revenue Fund are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, with the exception of proceeds from the sale of capital assets,
which is treated as revenues on the budgetary basis. The City prefers to leave its original budget
unaltered during the year, unless there are substantial changes to budget forecasts, so that the
effectiveness of individual departments in meeting budget objectives can be evaluated and the adequacy
of the budget itself can be judged. Expenditures in excess of budgeted amounts are allowed by law but
must be approved individually by the City Manager and are required to be disclosed per GAAP.
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments of
expenditures are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is employed as
an extension of the budgetary process. No encumbrances were outstanding at June 30, 2013.

Notes:
(a) The State of California Constitution Article XIII A provides that the combined maximum property tax rate
on any given property may not exceed one percent of its assessed value unless an additionalamount for general
obligation debt has been approved by voters. Assessed value is calculated at 100 percent of market value as
defined by Article XIII A and may be adjusted no more than two percent per year unless the property is
improved, sold or transferred. Because of this method of assessment, the City does not have a reasonable basis
for estimating the actualvalue of taxable property and this information is not presented above.
(b) The State Legislature has determined the method of distribution of receipts from a one percent tax levy
among the counties, cities, schooldistricts and other districts. The City's portion of the Direct Basic Tax Rate is
the AB-8 (Prop 13) legislated amounts.

Notes:
( a ) Overlapping rates are those of localand county governments that apply to
property owners within the City of Rohnert Park. Not alloverlapping rates
apply to allRohnert Park property owners; for example, schooldistricts' rates
apply only to property owners within those districts' geographic boundaries.
Overlapping Rates ( a )
( b ) In 1978, California voters passed Proposition 13, which set the property tax
rate at a 1% fixed amount. This 1% is shared by alltaxing agencies for which
the subject property resides within. In addition to the 1% fixed amount, property
owners are charged taxes as a percentage of assessed property values for the
payment of any voter approved bonds.

For debt repaid with property taxes, the percentage of overlapping debt applicable is estimated using taxable
assessed property values. Applicable percentage were estimated by determining the portion of another
governmentalunit's taxable assessed value that is within the city's boundaries and dividing it by each unit's
totaltaxable assessed value.
Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the City.
This schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne
by the resident and business of the city.

Rohnert Park Financing Authority
Rohnert Park, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the of Rohnert Park Financing Authority (the
Authority), a component unit of the City of Rohnert Park, California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2013,
and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Authority’s basic financial
statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design,
implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our
audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards
applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of
the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the
risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion.An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
2
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective
financial position of the Rohnert Park Financing Authority of the City of Rohnert Park, California,as of June 30,
2013, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows thereof for the year then ended in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
Implementation of New Accounting Standards
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Authority adopted Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) Statement No. 63 -Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of
Resources, and Net Position, effective July 1, 2012.Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Individual Fund Financial Statements
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only the Rohnert Park Financing Authority and do not
purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City of Rohnert Park,California, as of June 30,
2013,and the changes in its financial position, or, where applicable, its cash flows for the year then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not
modified with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s
discussion and analysis, as listed on the table of contents,be presented to supplement the basic financial
statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for
placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have
applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about
the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s
responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the
basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the
limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated January XX, 2014,on
our consideration of the Authority’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance
with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of
that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and
the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on
compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing
Standards in considering the Authority’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

The following discussion and analysis of the City of Rohnert Park Financing Authority’s (Authority) financial

The Authority’s net position decreased by $145,390, from the prior year.
Cash receipts from leases during the year totaled $1,458,603 and were used to pay debt service
requirements for fiscal year 2013.
Basic Financial Statements
The basic financial statements consist of the Authority’s Enterprise Fund. The financial statements also include
notes that explain some of the information in the financial statements and provide more detailed data.
The Enterprise Fund is used to account for the financing of public capital improvements provided by the
Authority to the City’s governmental operations. The financial statements provide both long-term and short-term
financial information and information about cash flows. The Authority’s Enterprise Fund basic financial
statements are as follows:
1.Statement of Net Position;
2.Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Change in Net Position; and
3.Statement of Cash Flows.
The following table presents the Authority’s net position as of June 30, 2013 and 2012:

Total assets decreased by $2,131,878 from $23,246,192 to $21,114,314 during the fiscal year ended June 30,
2013. This is comprised of a decrease of $1,306,791 in current assets and a decrease of $825,087 in noncurrent
assets. The decrease in current assets is primarily due to “project cash”bond draws to fund multiple capital
projects. The decrease in noncurrent assets reflects the declining balance in the net investment in leases as the
City pays the annual lease payments, as well as the amortization of the costs of issuance.
Total liabilities reflect a decrease of $1,986,488 from the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to a $740,000
reduction in long-term debt as a result of scheduled debt service payments, as well as a $1,360,210 reduction in
the amount due to the City of Rohnert Park from “project cash” bond draws.
Use of the Authority’s net position is restricted for debt service. At June 30, 2013, total restricted net position
reported is $2,989.

NOTE 1 –REPORTING ENTITY
Organization
The Rohnert Park Financing Authority (Authority) is a joint powers authority, organized pursuant to a Joint
Exercise of Powers Resolution (Resolution), dated as of January 1, 1999, between the City of Rohnert Park (City)
and the Community Development Commission of the City of Rohnert Park (Commission). The Resolution was
entered into pursuant to the Government Code of the State of California, commencing with Section 6500. The
Authority is a separate entity constituting a public instrumentality of the State of California and was formed for
the public purpose of assisting in financing activities for the benefit of the City and the Commission.
Effective February 1, 2012, the Commission was dissolved and all of the assets and related activities were
transferred to the Successor Agency (RDA Obligation Retirement Trust Fund).
The basic financial statements present only the Authority and are not intended to present fairly the financial
position, the changes in financial position or the cash flows of the City or the RDA Obligation Trust Fund in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The City
Council of the City constitutes the Board of Directors of the Authority. As such, the Authority is an integral part
of the City, and accordingly, the accompanying basic financial statements are blended as a component unit within
the basic financial statements prepared by the City.
The Authority obtains financing for City sponsored projects and purchases using lease agreements signed by the
City or Commission, (now the RDA Obligation Retirement Trust Fund)as collateral. These agreements provide
sufficient resources to repay the debt incurred to finance the projects.
NOTE 2 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)Basis of Presentation and Accounting
The Authority has elected under Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 20,
Accounting and Financial Reporting for Proprietary Funds and Other Governmental Entities That Use
Proprietary Fund Accounting, to apply all applicable GASB pronouncements, as well as any applicable
pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the Accounting Principles Board
or any Accounting Research Bulletins issued on or before November 30, 1989, unless those
pronouncements conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements. The GASB periodically updates its
codification of the existing Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards, which, along
with subsequent GASB pronouncements (Statements and Interpretations), constitutes GAAP for
governmental units. The Authority has elected not to follow subsequent private-sector guidance of FASB
after November 30, 1989.
All activities of the Authority are accounted for within an enterprise fund. The Authority’s enterprise fund
is used to report activity financed with debt that is secured solely by a pledge of revenues from the fees
and charges of the activity (i.e., lease revenue).

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to the Authority is determined by its
measurement focus. The transactions of the Authority are accounted for using the flow of economic
resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, all assets and all liabilities associated with
the operations are included on the statement of net position.
Enterprise funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services in connection with the fund’s principal
ongoing operations. The principal operating revenue of the Authority is lease interest income from the
City. The Authority has no operating expenses. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition
are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
(b)Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original purchase maturities of
three months or less.
(c)Net Investment in Leases
Debt service on the outstanding lease revenue bonds and certificates of participation is funded with
lease payments made by the City or the Successor Agency to the Authority for the use of equipment and
facilities acquired or constructed with bond proceeds issued by the Authority. In the lease agreements
relating to the bonds and certificates of participation, the City and the Successor Agency have
covenanted to make rental payments in amounts corresponding to the Authority’s debt service
requirements and related costs. The net investment in leases reflects the present value of the remaining
future lease payments due from the City and Successor Agency. To the extent that funds are
unexpended upon completion of all projects, such funds will be used to retire outstanding debt and
rental payments required from the City and Successor Agency will be reduced accordingly.
(d)Net Position
Net position comprises various net earnings from operating and nonoperating revenues and expenses.
Net position is classified as restricted for debt service. This consists of funds held by the trustee for the
repayment of debt principal and interest or as reserves.
(e)Estimates
The preparation of basic financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
certain estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly,
actual results may differ from those estimates.
(f)Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such
reclassifications had no effect on net position.

NOTE 3 –RESTRICTED CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
(a)Investments with Fiscal Agent
Provisions of the Authority’s bond trust agreements require that certain project and restricted accounts
be established. These accounts are held by trustees and fiscal agents for debt service payments, reserves
and capital improvement projects. These funds have been invested only as permitted by specific state
statutes governing their investment or applicable Authority ordinance, resolution or bond indenture.
The investments held have been classified as restricted on the statement of net position because their use
is limited by bond covenants.
Information is not available on whether the various mutual funds in which the Authority has invested,
used, or held wrote derivative financial products during the year ended June 30, 2013.
Qualified investments as defined by the trust agreement include the following:
Federal securities
Bonds, debentures, notes or other evidence of indebtedness issued or guaranteed by
certain federal agencies, while for other federal agencies, these investments are
permitted provided that such obligations are backed by the full faith and credit of the
United States of America
Money market funds having a rating by Standard and Poors (S&P) of AAAm-G;
AAAm; or Aam
Certificates of deposit secured at all times by collateral such as federal securities or
bonds, debentures, notes guaranteed by federal agencies and backed by the United
States of America
Certificates of deposit, savings accounts, deposit accounts or money market deposits
which are fully insured by FDIC
Investment agreements, including guaranteed investment contracts, acceptable to the
insurer, if any
Commercial paper rated at the time of purchase, “F-1” by Fitch IBCA and “A-1” or
better by S&P

Federal funds or bankers acceptances with a maximum term of one year of any bank
which has an unsecured, uninsured and not guaranteed obligation rating of “A” or
better by Fitch IBCA and “A-1” or “A” or better by S&P
Local Agency Investment Funds
(b)Custodial Credit Risk
As of June 30, 2013, none of the Authority’s investments were exposed to custodial credit risk as all
investments represent positions held in the State Treasurer’s Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and
money market mutual funds.

We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America
and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the Rohnert Park Financing Authority (the
Authority), a component unit of the City of Rohnert Park, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2013, and the
related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Authority’s basic financial statements,
and have issued our report thereon dated January XX, 2014. Our report included an explanatory paragraph stating
that the financial statements present only the Authority and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the
financial position of the City of Rohnert Park, California as of June 30, 2013, and the changes in its financial
position, and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. Our report also included an emphasis of a matter paragraph regarding the
Authority’s adoption of GASB Statement No. 63 –Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources,
Deferred Inflows of Resources, and Net Position.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Authority’s internal control
over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances 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 Authority’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control 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 and correct,
misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal
control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements
will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough
to merit attention by those charged with governance.
20
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section
and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or,
significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal
control that we consider to be material weaknesses.However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been
identified.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Authority’s financial statements are free from
material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the
determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those
provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of
our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under
Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the
results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on
compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing
Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not
suitable for any other purpose.

City Council of the
City of Rohnert Park
Rohnert Park, California
We have applied the procedures enumerated below to the Appropriations Limit calculation of the City of Rohnert
Park, (the City),for the year ending June 30,2014. These procedures, which were agreed to by the City and the
League of California Cities (as presented in the League publication entitled Agreed Upon Procedures Applied to
the Appropriations Limitation Prescribed by Article XIII-B of the California Constitution)were performed solely
to assist the City in meeting the requirements of Section 1.5 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution. The
City’s management is responsible for the Appropriations Limit calculation.
This agreed upon procedures engagement was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The sufficiency of the procedures is solely the
responsibility of those parties specified in this report. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the
sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or
for any other purpose.
The procedures performed and our findings were as follows:
1.We obtained completed worksheets for the year ending June 30, 2014 and compared the limit and annual
adjustment factors included in those worksheets to the limit and annual adjustment factors that were
adopted by resolution of the City Council. We also compared the population and inflation options
included in the aforementioned worksheets to those that were selected by a recorded vote of the City
Council.
Findings: No exceptions were noted as a result of our procedures.
2.We added last year’s limit to the total adjustments and compared the resulting amount to this year’s limit.
Findings: No exceptions were noted as a result of our procedures.
3.We compared the current year information to the prior year appropriations limit adopted by the City
Council for the prior year.
Finding: No exceptions were noted as result of our procedures.

4.We compared the prior year appropriations limit to the prior year appropriations limit adopted by the City
Council for the prior year.
Finding: No exceptions were noted as a result of our procedures.
We were not engaged to, and did not perform an audit, the objective of which would be the expression of an
opinion on the Appropriations Limit schedule. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Had we
performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to
you. No procedures have been performed with respect to the determination of the appropriation limit for the base
year, as defined by Article XIII-B of the California Constitution.
This report is intended solely for the use of the City Council and management of the City and is not intended to be

NOTES TO THE APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT SCHEDULE
FOR THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2014

1.PURPOSE OF LIMITED PROCEDURES REVIEW
Under Article XIIIB of the California Constitution (the Gann Spending Limitations Initiative), California
governmental agencies are restricted as to the amount of annual appropriations from proceeds of taxes.
Effective for years beginning on or after July 1, 1990, under Section 1.5 of Article XIIB, the annual
calculation of the appropriation limit is subject to a limited procedures review in connection with the annual
audit.
2.METHOD OF CALCULATION
Under Section 10.5 of Article XIIIB, for fiscal years beginning on or after July, 1990, the appropriations
limit is required to be calculated based on the limit for the fiscal year 1986-87, adjusted for the inflation and
population factors discussed in Notes 3 and 4 below.
3.INFLATION FACTORS
A California governmental agency may adjust its appropriations limit by either the annual percentage change
in the 4th quarter per capita personal income (which percentage is supplied by the State Department of
Finance) or the percentage change in the local assessment roll from the preceding year due to the change of
local nonresidential construction. The factor adopted by the City for the year 2013-14 represents the annual
percentage change in the per capita personal income.
4.POPULATION FACTORS
A California governmental agency may adjust its appropriations limit by either the annual percentage change
of the jurisdiction’s own population or the annual percentage change in population of the county where the
jurisdiction is located. The factor adopted by the City for the year 2013-14 represents the annual percentage
change in population for the County.
5.OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
A California government agency may be required to adjust its appropriations limit when certain events occur,
such as the transfer of responsibility for municipal services to, or from, another government agency or
private entity. The City had no such adjustment for the year ending June 30, 2014.

Agenda Title: Campaign Contribution Limit Review Established by Rohnert Park
Municipal Code §2.65.030
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Review the established $500 campaign contribution limit and determine if the limitation shall
remain the same, be increased, or decreased per election cycle. Staff recommends maintaining
the current $500 limit.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council sought to reduce the actual and perceived influence of contributions on elected
officials by limiting the amount of campaign contributions for candidates and to further the goal
of an informed electorate by supplementing the campaign disclosure requirements and related
regulations set forth in the Political Reform Act of 1974. The City Council established campaign
contribution limits with the adoption of Ordinance No. 750 on November 22, 2005, adding
Chapter 2.65, “Campaign Finance Regulations” to Title 2, “Administration and Personnel” to the
Rohnert Park Municipal Code.
In accordance with Rohnert Park Municipal Code §2.65.030 – Contribution limitations-General,
paragraph E, “The five hundred dollar limitation established by this section shall be reviewed by
the city council in January of every fourth year commencing in 2010 to determine whether such
limitation shall remain the same or be increased or decreased.”
Accordingly, Chapter 2.65 of the Rohnert Park Municipal is provided to Council for review and
direction.
ANALYSIS:
Cloverdale, Sebastopol, and Windsor do not have limits. The Sonoma County cities with limits
are not expected to make changes and are listed below.
Healdsburg $500
Rohnert Park $500
Santa Rosa $500
Sonoma $500 (monetary $100, non-monetary $400)
Cotati $350
Petaluma $200
Mission Statement
“We Care for Our Residents by Working Together to Build a

Other California Cities appear to be maintaining current limits and not making changes.
Since the establishment of the $500 contribution limit in 2005, the City has held 4 elective city
office election cycles and the limitation appears to be fulfilling its intended purpose.
Any amendment of the limitation must be done by ordinance and shall be preceded by at least
one public hearing.
OPTIONS CONSIDERED:
Staff would recommend changing the limitation if dissimilar with other Sonoma County cities, if
other California cities making changes, or if Rohnert Park was experiencing actual and perceived
influence of contributions on elected officials.

None.

Agenda Title: Digital Billboard Use Policy- Consideration of amending the policy to allow
local nonprofit organizations messages for welcoming new businesses and
eliminating Exhibit D (local nonprofit organizations list)
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff seeks City Council direction regarding proposed amendments to the Digital Billboard Use
Policy nonprofit use provision. Staff recommends:
1. Amending Section D (message content) of the Digital Billboard Use Policy
(Policy) to allow local nonprofits messages for welcoming new businesses to
Rohnert Park, and
2. Eliminating Exhibit D - local nonprofit organizations in Rohnert Park list.
BACKGROUND:
On October 22, 2013, the City Council adopted a Digital Billboard Use Policy for the City’s 10%
advertising time allocation. The purpose of the Policy is to outline the rules and procedures for
the distribution of information, advertising and announcements of citywide and community
events displayed on the sign. The Policy includes direction on how message requests will be
handled both internally (City) and externally (non-City).
The Digital Billboard Use Policy has a provision for local nonprofit use of the digital billboard.
The Policy allows for up to 5% of the City’s allocated advertising time to be used for local
nonprofit organizations. The Digital Billboard Use Policy defines local nonprofit organizations
as an organization that has been conferred eligible for nonprofit status by the Internal Revenue
Service under United States Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c) and maintains its principal
office or place of operation within the City of Rohnert Park. The Policy limits the messages of
non-profits to the name of the event, the sponsor, date, time and other specific factual details of
the event.
ANALYSIS:
There are several different types of nonprofit organizations that fit within the 501(c) designation;
they range from 501(c)1 through 501(c)29. The Digital Billboard Use Policy did not make the
specific distinction of type of 501(c) organization. However, based on previous discussion and
direction with the City Council, nonprofit use of the digital billboard was determined to be for
“community or civic events” and announcements that:
1. Promote the community, and
Mission Statement
“We Care for Our Residents by Working Together to Build a
Better Community for Today and Tomorrow.”
CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
ITEM NO. 9
2
2. Refer to local events that are of a civic, public or educational in nature, and are
3. Available to the general public.
New Business Welcoming Messages
When the draft Policy was being developed and originally presented to the City Council for
direction, staff’s focus regarding non-profit use was centered on community or civic event
announcements. Anticipated community event announcements typically satisfy all three criteria
mentioned above. The recent Holiday Tree Lighting event that was announced on the Digital
Billboard is a good example of an anticipated community or civic event announcement.
Another type of announcement originating from a local nonprofit could be the welcoming of new
Rohnert Park businesses (whether they are nonprofit or for profit). This type of announcement
could be considered to promote the community’s interest and be available to the general public
and thus satisfy two of the three requirements under the City’s Policy. However, this type of
message was not discussed with the City Council when the policy was in development and is not
considered a “local event”. Therefore, the welcome message doesn’t fit within the current
content requirements of the name of event, sponsor, date, time, etc. The Policy would have to be
amended to allow local nonprofit messages that welcome new businesses.
Staff recommends amending the Policy to allow messages originating from local nonprofits that
welcome new businesses to Rohnert Park. These new businesses welcoming messages could
assist the local economy and the thereby benefit the entire community.
Elimination of Exhibit D – Rohnert Park Nonprofit List
Staff has found that the type and number of 501(c) organizations in Rohnert Park to be extensive
and subject to frequent changes. Thus, unless the nonprofit list is updated frequently, there is a
high probability that the list would be inaccurate. Updating the nonprofit list in periods when
there is no demand for nonprofit usage is not an efficient use of staff time. As a matter of
practice, staff would verify an organization’s local nonprofit status on an as needed basis.
Verifying an organization’s status as a local nonprofit upon use application, as opposed to
maintaining an updated list would be more efficient and better serve the intent of the Policy.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No funding is required for the policy amendment. Allowing business welcoming messages could
help new local businesses and the local economy.
NEXT STEPS:
Staff is seeking City Council direction on the proposed amendments to the Digital Billboard
Policy. With City Council’s direction, staff would amend the Digital Billboard Policy
accordingly and bring back to the City Council at a future meeting for approval.

Subject : Letter of Interest for Sonoma County Child Care
Planning Council
To: Sonoma County Mayors and Council Members Association
This letter will serve as my interest in serving as a representative
on the Sonoma County Child Care Planning Council.
As a mother who raised three children while working full time, I
understand the importance of providing quality care for our
children. I was fortunate that I was able to obtain quality care for
my children during their formative years. I feel strongly that
quality care is important not only for the growth of our children,
but also for the ability of their parents to focus on being productive
workers without worrying about the care of their children.
It would be an honor to serve on this council to ensure that
Sonoma County has quality, accessible and affordable child care.
Thank you,
Susan
