DATE: January 10, 1989
SUBJEiCT: Ernst & Whinney Management Letter and
"Investment Policy Report"
MANAGEMM7.i' LETTER:
Prior Year Cent --Operating Transfers
Last year, Ernst & Whinney recccuiended we implement a computer program; to
print twelve months' operatirr; transfer activity on a single report. This
would speed up their audit work and onr staff work. My comment this year
is the scare as the previous yew. That is, we have this programni.ng
request listed, but it doesn't have as high a priority as other projects,
such as, payroll, utility billing, canbining a-mual financial reports, etc.
Self -Insurance Reserve
Fsnst & Whinney is recariending a full-time "risx management" person to
review the reserves set up 171 the Workers' Compensation and Liability
Administrator. I believe &ds is a significant cost item, and, until we
can justify adding this position to the City, 1 would reccnmend we continue
to accept the reserves rs stated.
Payroll Costs
Ernst & Whinney has recamnended we review the actual payroll costs to
budget amounts on a more frequent basis. We concur and plan to review
these costs on a monthly basis and recc mend adjustments to appropriations
when needed.
Personnel Files
Ernst & Whinney recarmended timely recording of pay rates and ether
personnel information on the personnel records. I don't believe this is a
major problem, however, the addition of staff approved by Council should
alleviate this problem.
Employee Time Cards
Ernst & Whinney rectnmends more rigid enforcanent cf upprovals on time
cards. We have requested all City supervisors to approve time cards,
however, sane occasionally slip through without approval. We are adding a
certification statement to each time card that will require each supervisor
to certify the work has been performed. This statement will be printed on
each new time card issued as soon as we can use up the old time cards. We
hope this certification statement and closer supervision by our staff trill
eliminate this problem.
Memorandum - 2 - January 10, 1989
Carpensated Absences
Enzst & Whinney is requestinq closer monitoring of the data and formula
used to calculate these -liabilities. The Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) requires this liability to be stated at the end of each fiscal
year. What these figures represent is a theoretical accounting concept
based upon the assumption the City would have to close its doors at June
30. This then would obligate the City to pay its employees for any unused
vacation and sick leave. The sick leave calculation is based upon the
existing formula that allows those employees eligible for retirement be
granted paid health premiums for a percent of their mused sick leave based
upon years of service with the City. In the past, Ernst & Whinney,
perforrmed this calculation; however, this year, we calculated most of the
figures ourselves, and sanE of the dsta came fran both their offices and
ours. We shall try to fully automate this function next year, and,
hopefully, eliminate this problem.
Reporting Software
Ernst & Whinney is recawending we prepare the "Canbined Annual Financial
Reports" (CAM . For the past twelve years, the responsibility for the
preparation of the CAFR has been the auditors' based upon the request for
proposal and fee for services. I concur with their earment and feel it is
appropriate we prepare the CAFR; the auditors would then audit the CAFR.
This should save audit fees in ensuing years. We are looking into
obtaining software for this, and we are contacting other California cities
that may be able to assist us. This w i 11 be a major project for our Data
Processing and Accounting staff.
Improved Use of Idle Assets
Ernst & Whinney recatanends we contact other cities who may be interested in
using our heavy duty crane. At the time this purchase vms included in the
1587-88 Budget, one of the priman.), reasons was to have one readily
accessible in the event it was need- 1. Other cities have the same problem
we had, and that is when you need one you cannot find one, or, i f you can,
the time it takes to transport it is considerable and costly.
Capitalization Policy
Ernst & Whinney recammends we review expenditures, for capitalization
purposes, prior -to the close of the fiscal year or at least quarterly. he
agree and plan to do so for the next fiscal year.
"Revenue/Expenditure Reports"
Ernst & Whinney recamiends the "Revenue/Expenditure Reports" (for capital
construction projects) indicate budget appropriations for work that can be
accnnplished in one fiscal year versus the cost of the entire capital
project. VUR we prepare the CAFR on our own, we may be able to add an
additional column indicating what would be a current fiscal year budget.
This information may be significant for an auditor Lo use for comparison
purposes. However, it may not mean that much to non -audit type persons.
Memorandum - 3 - January 10, 1989
"INVES'Ir= POLICY REPOS "' :
Findings
1. Frnst & Whinney states the Library reinvests stock dividends to
purchase additional shares of stock which is considered speculative in
nature. I have forwarded this item to the City Librarian for his
conm-nt .
2. Ernst & Whinney states the "Investment Policy Report" requires all
securities to be transferred to the City's designated bank, and that we
are presently holding G�Z% securities in cur vault. While there is
nothing unsafe or wrong with holding our awn securities, the
"Investment Policy Report" does not provide for it. We are contacting
several regional banks regarding safekeeping services.
3. Ernst & Whinney states we did not amortize the discount we received on
the purchase of federal securities. This was an oversight, and we have
taken care of this item with an adjusting journal entry.
4. Ernst & Whinney states we picked up the wrong June 30, 1988 figure on
the market value of the federal securities purchased frau Midland
Montague. In doing this, we understated the value of the securities.
We adjusted our books to shcxa the increase of $526,131 in market value
at June 30, 1988.

We have audited the financial statements of the City of Lodi for the year
ended .Tune 30, 1988 and have issued our report thereon dated November 18,
1988. As part of our audit, we made a study and evaluation of :he system
of internal accounting control only to the extent we considered necessary
to determine the nature, timing, and extent of our auditing procedures.
Our study and evaluation made for the limited purpose described above
would not necessarily disclose all material weaknesses in the system.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the system of internal
accounting control of the City of Lodi taken as a whole. However, our
study and evaluation disclosed no condition that we believed to be a
material weakness at June 30, 1988. The following suggestions are
submitted to assist in improving procedures and controls.
This report i!� intended solely for the use of management. This
restriction is not intended to limit the distribution of this report,
which, upon acceptance by the City of Lodi, is a matter of public record.

ACCOUNTING SYSTEMS AND INTERNAL CONTROLS
Prior Year Comment - Oioeratina Transfers
Operating transfers during the ;-ear are dut rmined by manually searching
through each fund's equity at -.:;ant in e ch month's general ledger.
Year-to-date summary reports of fund balance activity would enhance the
i
process of identifying operating transfers for financial analysis and
st4te reporting.
S e 1 f- Insurance Reserve
The year-end accrual of claims for the self-insurance reserve are
computed by the carrier. These claims are currently reviewed only for
reasonableness. A full-time "risk management" employee on staff to
review the technical aspects of claims submitted would ensure that the
review and monitoring of workers' Compensation claims is appropriate and
cost effective.
Payroll Coss
A comparison of actual payroll costs to budgeted amounts should be
performed consistently. We recommend that the Assistant Finance Director
compsre these figures on a monthly basis and that unusual variances be
investigated timely. This process should result in better control over
payroll costs and more accurate information regarding budget variances.
blY
Personnel Files
i
Documentation of changes in pay rates and filing of other personnel
information is an important aspect of payroll internal controls. We
recommenj that the City rec)rd and file changes in a timely manner to
realt.ze strengthened inter<<ai controls.
0
-1-
r
.Employee Time Cards
A11 employee time cjrds should be approved throughout the pay period.' We
suggest that the City more rigidly enforce existing policies which state
that department supervisors approve time cards. We also recommend that
the payroll clerk return unapproved time cards to the appropriate
supervisors for approval. The enforcement of these policies should
strengthen internal controls by gaining assurance that employees are not
being paid for hours they have not worked.
Compensated Absences
Accurate data and timely computation of vacation and sick leave accruals
are necessary for proper recording and monitoring of these liabilities.
We recommend a formal process be documented to ensure that errors in
future computations are minimized. This process should improve the
accounting for the vacation and sick leave liability.
ADMINISTRATIVE AND OPERATIONAL CONTROLS
Reporting Software
An automated system for compiling the financial records into the
necessary financial statements for governmental external reporting
purposes should be obtained. W recommend that the City locate the
appropriate software and implement the applicable financial reporting
procedures as this will result: in a more efficient year-end audit as well
as provide the City with a better financial tool for internal reporting
and review purposes throughout the year.
-2-
Ell
Improved Use of Idle Assets
Thi 6i,y recently purchased a twenty -ton crane which may be idle during
the year. We recommend that the City contact other municipalities within
100 miles to inform them of the availability of the crane. Thus, when
the crane is not being used, it could be rented out for a fee. This same
process should be considered for any other potentially idle assets.
talization Polic
It is our understanding that the City reviews expenditures in applicable
funds for capitalization several months after the end of the fiscal year
in which the expenditure arose. We recommend that the City review
expenditures for capitalization purposes at least quarterly and
capitalize fixed asset expenditures at that time. This will result in
the City's fixed asset records being more useful for internal and
external reporting purposes.
Revenue/Expenditure Reports
The Appropriations (budget) column of the Revenue/Expenditure Reports is
currently stated on a project basis only. We recommend the Report
reflect the budget on a fiscal year basis so that the comparison of
budget to actual becomes meaningful. This can be accomplished by either
adding a column to the Report to denote actual project revenues/
expenditures on a fiscal year basis or keep manual accumulations of
necessary information for accurate comparison purposes. The availability
of easily accessible budget-vs.•actuai project information should
facilitate better monitoring of variances from budget,

WE: have applied certain agreed-upon procedures enumerated below with
respect to the Statement of Investment Policy adopted by Council
Resolution 87-121. Our review was made solely to assist you in
evaluating compliance with that policy. The procedures me performed are
summarized as follows:
a. W confirmed the City's investments as of June 30, 1988.
b. We reviewed the monthly investment reports submitted to the City
Council by the Treasurer.
C. We reviewed the System of Internal Investment Controls.
In connection with the procedures referred to above, except as set forth
in the accompanying schedules, no matters came to our attention that
caused us to believe that investment balances might require adjustmenz:.
Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to
our attention that would have been reported to you. This report relates
only to the Statement of Investment Policy and does not extend to any
financial statements of the City of Lodi, taken as a whole.
November 18, 1988
Incidents of Noncompliance with the
Statement of Investment Policy
City of Lodi
Year Ended June 30, 1968
Findings
1. The Statement of Investment Policy states that the City may not
speculate or purchase stocks. However, the City Library's investment
portfolio contained common stock valued at $96,000 at June 30, 1988.
The library obtained the stock through bequests, stock dividends and
dividend reinvestment programs. This reinvestment is considered a
purchase of stock. Furthermore, the continued holding of the stock {
is speculative.
2 The Statement of Investment Policy states "All securities [willbe]
transferred to the City's designated bank. Th,.! City is currently
keeping the certificates of deposit and Government National Mortgage i
Association (C?,I" certificates in the Cit- Hsll safe.
3 During OUT audit procedures vw noted that the City has not amortized
the discount on the purchase of U.S. Treasury B i 11 s in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. An adjustment to
.14 increase the balance by $38,800 was required to properly reflect the '
current book value of the portfolio.
4 The June 30, 1988 Summary Report of Investments showed an incorrect
present market value of $495,974 for the Midland/Montagu U.S.
Treasury Bills. The amount should have been $526,131.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The City Council
City of Lodi
Lodi. California
555 Capitol Mall, Suite 650
Sacramento. California 95814
916/447-3237
We have audited the accompanying general purppse financial statements of
the City of Lodi, California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 1983,
as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the City's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan 2nd perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion,
Complete records are not maintained for general fixed assets and,
therefore, the general purpose financial statements referred to above do
not include a statement of general fixed assets, which should be included
to conform with generally accepted accounting principles.
The records of the enterprise funds were incomplete as to fixed assets
and related depreciation. Because we were unable to satisfy ourselves as
to the proper recording of the fixed assets and related depreciation by
appropriate audit tests or by other means as a result of such incomplete
records, Ae are unable to express an opinion on the accompanying
financial statements of the enterprise funds.
In our opinion, except that the omission of the statement of general
fixed assets described above results in an incomplete presentation, the
general purpose financial statements, other than the enterprise funds
referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the City of Loai, California, at June 30, 1988, and
the results of its operations and the changes in financial position of
its proprietary fund types an:! similar trust funds for the year then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general
purpose financial statements taken as a whole. The financial statements
and schedules listed in the table of contents are presented for purposes
of additional analysis and are not a required part of the general purpose
financial statements of the City of Lodi, California. Such information
has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the
general purpose financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the general purpose
financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CITY OF LODI
June 30. 1988
NOTE A --FINANCIAL REPORTING ENTITY
For financial reporting purposes, in conformance with NCGA Statement 3,
the City includes all funds, account groups, agencies, boards,
commissions, and authorities that are controlled by or dependent on the
City's executive or legislative branches (the Mayor or the Council,
respectively). Control by or dependence on the City was determined on
the basis of budget adoption, taxing euthority, outstanding debt secured
by revenues or general obligations of the City, obligations of the City
to finance any deficits that may occur, or receipt of significant
subsidies from the City. Based on the foregoing criteria, all Funds and
account groups of the City, except for the general fixed asset group of
accounts for- which complete records are not maintained, are included in
the City's financial statements.
MOTE B --SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies of the City summarized below conform to generally
accepted accounting policies for governmental entities, except that
complete records are not maintained for fixed assets.
Basis of Presentation: The financial transactions of the City are
recorded in individual funds and an account group. The various funds and
account group are reported by type in the financi�.l statements. Amounts
in the "Totals (Memorandum Only)" columns in the financial statements
represent a summation of tie combined financial statement line items of
the fund types and account group and are presented only for analytical
purposes. The summation includes fund types and the account group that
use different bases of accounting, both restricted and unrestricted
amounts, interfund transactions that have not been eliminated, and the
caption "amount to be provided," which is not an asset in the usual
sense. Consequently, amounts shown in the "Totals (Memorandum Only)"
columns are not comparable to a consolidation and do not represent the
total resources available or total revenues and expenditures/expenses of
the City.
The City uses the following fund categories, fund types, and account
group:
Genual Fund: To account for all financial resources except those
required to be accounted for in another fund,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
CITY GF LODI
June 30, 1988
NOTE B --SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Special Revenue Funds: To account for the proceeds of specific
revenue sources, other than expendable trusts, or capital projects,
that are legally restricted to expenditures for specific purposes.
Debt Service Funds: To account for the accumulation of resources
for, and payment of, general long-term debt principal and interest.
Enterprise Funds: To account for operations that are financed and
cperated in a manner similar to private business enterprises - where
the intent of the governing body is that the costs (expenses,
including depreciation) of providing services to the general public
on a continuing basis be finar ped or recovered primarily through user
charges.
Internal Service Funds: To account for the financing of services
provided by one department to other departments of the governmental
unit on a cost -reimbursement basis.
Trust and Agency Funds: To account for assets held by a governmental
unit in a trustee capacity or as an agent for individuals, private
organizations, ocher governmental units, and/or other funds. These
include expendable trust funds and nonexpendable trust funds.
General Long -Term Debt Account Group: To account for unmatured
general long-term liabilities of the City.
For financial reporting purposes, the special assessment fund, which was
shown separately in previous years, has been combined with the special
revenue fund for the year ended June 30, 1988. The effect was to
decrease the special revenue fund balance as of July 1, 1987 by
$723,197. Special assessments are levied and collected by the County and
are recognized as income when received. Special assessments receivable
are recorded as deferred revenue since the amounts are not considered
available under generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis of Accounting: Governmental, expendable trust, and agency funds
are accounted for on the modified accrual basis of accounting.
Governmental and expendable trust fund revenues are recognized when
received in cash except. those subject to accrual, which are recorded as
receivables when measurable and available to pay current period
liabilities. Expenditures are recognized on the accrual basis, except
for principal and interest of general and special assessment lrng-term
debt, which is recognized when due.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
CITY OF LODI
June 30, 1988
NOTE B --SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Proprietary and nonexpendable trust funds are accounted for on the
accrual basis of accounting. Their revenues are recognized in the period
earned and expenses are recognized in the period incurred.
Budgetary Accounting: An operating budget is adopted each fiscal year
for the general and special revenue funds on the same modified accrual
basis used to reflect actual revenues and expenditures. Budgetary
control is exercised at the department level. The City Manager is
authorized to transfer budget amounts between departments within any
fund; however, any supplemental appropriations that amend the total
expenditures of any fund require City Council approval. Reported budget
amounts are as originally adopted or as amended by City Council
resolution. Unencumbered appropriations lapse at year-end.
Pooled Cash and Investments: Cash balances of most City funds are pooled
and invested. Interest earned from investments purchased with pooled
cash is allocated to each of the funds based on the fund's average cash
balance. Investments are stated at cost.
Inventories: Inventory -type items are considered expenditures at the
time of issuance of supplies. Inventories of supplies are stated at the
lower of cost (generally determined on a weighted average basis) or
market .
Fixed Assets: Complete fixed asset records for the enterprise funds are
not maintained. As a result, records are also incomplete Cor
depreciati^n.
Compensated Absences: The City records liabilities, discounted to
present value, for future compensated absences (sick leave and vacation
pay) earned and vested for thu General Fund and Enterprise Funds.
Vacation time vests without restriction to substantially all employees.
Sick leave vests only to employees who are eligible for retirement from
the City and is based on years of service. Amounts classified as current
have been included in current year operations. Amounts determined to be
noncurrent for the General Fund have been recorded as liabilities of the
General Long -Term Debt Account Group.
Encumbrances: Encumbrances are established in the general and special
revenue funds to recognize future obligations of the City. They cease to
be encumbrances when Laid or when the actual liability is recorded.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
CITY OF LODI
June 30, 1988
NOTES 13 --SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Fund Equity: Amounts reported as designated for subsequent year's
expenditures in unreserved fund equity relate to unused appropriations
for which there are no purchase orders or contracts, but are expected to
be expended during the next fiscal year.
- Property Taxes: The City receives property tax revenues based on an
allocation factor calculated by the County of San Joaquin under the
provisions of State of California Proposition 13. Property taxes are
received from the County throughout the year and are rtcognized as income
when received. There was no receivable at year-end. Collections in 1988
were $3,338,000.
Sales and Use Taxes: The City receives an allocation of sales and use
taxes from the State of California monthly and recognizes the revenues
iahen received. The City receives 10/1of the 6% sales tax assessed within
City limits.
Grants and Other Governmental Revenues: On grants where expenditures of
funds are the prime factor for determining earnings of grant funds, the
receivable and revenue are recognized when the expenditures have been
incurred. Amounts due from other governmental agencies and the related
revenue thereon are recorded when earned.
Interfund Transactions: During the course of normal operations the City
has numerous transactions between funds, including expenditures and
transfers of resources to provide services, consi.ruet assets, and service
debt. The accompanying financial statements generally reflect such
transactions as .operating transfers. Operating subsidies are also
recorded as operating transfers. The classification of amounts recorded
as subsidies, advances, o,-- equity contributions is determined by Cit),
Council.
Internal service funds are used to record charges for services to all
City departments and funds as operating revenue. The funds so charged
record these payments to the internal service funds as operating expenses.
The General Fund provides administrative services to Enterprises Funds.
Amounts charged to a fund for these services are based on the City's
central service cost allocation plan and are treated as a reduction of
expenditures in the General Fund and as operating expenses in the
Enterprise Funds.

NOTE E --DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN
Plan Descriptioi,
The City contributes to the California Public Employees' Retirement
System (FERS), an agent multiple -employer public employee retirerncnt
system, that acts as a common investment and administrative agent for
participating public entities within the state of California.
The system covers substantial!.y all employees, except elected officials
and those compensated on an hourly basis who were hired after May 31,
1966. The City's. payroll for employees covered by the system for the
year ended June 30, 1988 was $9,366,000. The City's total payroll for
the same period was $10,827,000.
Safety employees are required to contribute 9 percent of their annual
salary to the system, and all other employees are required to contribute
7 percent. The City is required to contribute the remaining amounts
necessary to fund the benefits for its membe-,s, using the actuarial basis
recommended by the PERS actuaries and actuar,.a1 consultants and adopted
by the. PERS Board. of Administration.
Funding Status and Progress
The amoun� shown. below as the "pe.i.sion benefit obligation'' is a
standardized disclosure measure of the pcesent value of pension benefits,
adjusted for the effects of projec.:ed salary increases and step -rate
benefits, estimated to be payable in the future as a result of employee
service to data. This measure i, intended to help users assess the
funding status of the System on a going -concern basis, assess progress
made in accumulating sufficient --ssets to pay benefits when due, and make
comparisons among employers. The measure is the actuarial present value
of credited projected benefits and is independent of the funding method
used to determine contributions to the System.

NOTE E --DEFINED SENT -FIT PENSION PLAN (Continued)
The pension benefit obligation was computed as part of an actuarial
valuation performed as of June 30, 1987. Significant actuarial
assumptions used in the valuation include: (a) a rate of return on the
investment of present and future assets of 8.5 percent per year
compounded annually, (b) projected salary increases of 5 percent per year
compounded annually, attributable to inflation, (c) additional projected
salary increases of 2 percent per year, attributable to seniority/merit,
and (d) no post retirement benefit increases.
The total unfunded pension benefit obligation applicable to the employees
'was$5,458,537 at June 30, 1987 as follows:
Pension Benefit Obligation:
Retirees and beneficiaries currently receiving
benefits and terminated employees not yet
receiving benefits $18,356,355
Current employees:
Accumulated employee contributions including
allocated investment earnings 7,242,192
Employer -financed vested 8,233,537
Employer -financed non vested 410,572
Total pension benefit obligation 34,242,656
Net assets available for benefits at cost
(market value of $36,037,717) 28, 784,119
UNFUNDED PENSION BENEFIT OBLIGATION $ 5,458,537
Contributions Required and Contributions Made
PERS uses the Entry Age Normal Actuarial Cost Method which is a projected
benefit cost method. That is, it takes into account those benefits that
are expected to be earned in the future as well as those already
accrued. According to this cost method, the normal cost for an employee
is the level amount which would fund the projected benefit if it were
paid annually from date of employment until retirement. PERS uses a
modification of the Entry Age Cost Method in which the employer's total
normal cost is expressed as a level percentage of payroll. PERS also

CITY OF LODI

NOTE E --DEFINED BEXEFIT PENSION PIAN (Continued)
uses the level percentage of payroll method to amortize any unfunded
actuarial liabilities. The amortization period of the unfunded actuarial
liability ends on June 30, 2000.
The significant actuarial assumptions used to compute the actuarially
determined contribution requirement are the same as chose used to compute
the pension benefit obligation, as previously described.
The contribution to the system for 1988 of $2,200,712 was made in
accordance with actuarially determined requirements computed through an
actuarial valuation performed as of June 30, 1987. The contribution
consisted of: (a) $1,642,601 normal cost (17.5 percent of current
covered payroll) and (b) $558,111 amortization of the unfunded actuarial
accrued liability (appro:<imately 6.0 percent of current covered payroll);
the City contributed $1,458,985 of this total (approximately 15.6 percent
of current covered payroll) and the employees contributed $741,727
(approximately 7.9 percent of current covered payroll).
Trend Information
Trend information gives an indication of the progress made in
accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due. Systemwide
ten-year trend information may be found in the California Public
Employees' Retirement System Annual Reports.
For the year ended June 30, 1988, available assets were sufficient: to
fund 84 percent of the pension benefit obligation. Unfunded pension,
benefit obligation represented 58 percent of the annual payroll for
employees covered by the PERS for 1988. Showing unfunded pension benefit
obligation as a percentage of annual covered payroll approximately
adjusts for the effects of inflation for analysis purposes. In addition,
for the year ended June 30, 1988, the City's contributions to the system,
all made in accordance with actuarially determined requirements, were 16
percent of annual covered payroll.
NOTE F --DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
The City offers its employees a deferred compensation plan adopted under
Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The plan, availabl4 to all City
employees, permits them to defer a portion of their salary until future
years. Although the City has not received a ruling from the Internal
Revenue Service regarding the eligibil+ty of the plan, the City is not
16
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATMZNTS (Continued)
CITY OF LGDI
June 30, 1968
NOTE F—DEFERRED COMENSATUN FLA14 (Continued)
aware of any events which may result in an adverse tax ruling. The
deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination,
retirement, death, or unforeseeable emergency.
A 1 1 amounts of compensation deferred under the plan, all property and
rights purchased with those amounts, and all income attributable to thosa
amounts, property, cr rights are (until paid or made available to the
employee or other beneficiary) solely the property and rights of the
City, subject only to the claims of the City's general creditors.
Participants' rights under the plan are equal to the fair market value of
the deferred account for each participant.
It is the opinion of the City's legal counsel that the City has no
liability for losses under the plan but does have the duty of due care
that would be required of an ordinary prudent investor. The City
believes that it is unlikely that it will be required to use the assets
to satisfy the claims of general creditors in the future.
The City's deferred compensation plan has as>ets and liabilities totaling
$4,080,000 as of June 30, 1988 recorded in an expendable trust fund.

NOTE I--MEMSERSHIF IN THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA FOWER AGENCY (Continued)
The City, under its contractual obligations, jointly funds the operations
and construction and development programs of NCPA. The City has
coruaitted, if necessary, to advance certain annual amounts to NCPA in the

funding of future advances is contemplated for 1989.
NOTE J --.MEMBERSHIP IN THE CALIFORNIA JOINT POWERS ItiSURANCE AUTHORITY
The City is a member of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority
(California JPIA). Various public agencies formed the California JPIA
for the purpose of sharing the risk of catastrophic general liability,
automobile liability, and public officials errors and omissions losses
because adequate insurance is not available in the commercial insurance
market.
The ultimate cost of the program to the City will depend on the
catastrophic losses of all the members, as well as the City's own loss
Experience, and will be determined retrospectively five years after the
end of the current program year. The City periodically pays deposits to
the California JF.IA,
These deposits are recorded as expenditures in the year paid as they are
a reasonable estimate of the actual cost of the program. During the year
ended June 30, 1988, a deposit of $218,500 was paid to the California
JPIA.
NOTE K--COMITMEPTTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The City is involved in various litigation which arose during the normal
course of operations. The ultimate amount of possible loss cannot be
reasonably estimated, but management believes that any loss incurred as a
result of current litigation sill not have a material effect on the
City's financial statements.

We hx:,e audited the general purpose financial statements of the City of
Lodi, California, for the year ended June 30, 1988, and have issued our
report thereon dated November 18, 1988. Our audit of such general
purpose financial statements was made in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards and the standards for financial and
compliance audits contained in the Standards for Audit of Governmental
Organizations, Programs, Activities, and Functions, issued by the U.S.
General Accounting Office, and accordingly, included such tests of the
accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered
necessary in the circLustances,
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general
purpose financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying Schedule
of Financial Assistance is presented for purposes of additional analysis
and is not a required part of the general purpose financial statements.
The information in that schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the general purpose financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects
in relation to the general purpose financial statements taken as a whole.

establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control. In
fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are
required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of control
procadures. The objectives of a system are to provide management with
reasonable, but not absolutes, assurance that assets are safeguarded
against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions
are executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded
properly to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent
limitations in any system of internal accounting eontrci, errors or
irregularities may nevertheless occur and not be detected. Also,
projection of any evaluation of the system to future periods is subject
to the risk that procedures may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions or that the degree of compliance with the procedures may
deteriorate.
Our study and evaluation made for the limited purpose described in the
first paragraph would not necessarily disclose all material weaknesses in s
the system. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the system of t

we believe to be a material weakness.

The management of the City of Lodi, California, is responsible for
establishing and maintaining internal control systems used in
administering federal financial assistance programs. In fulfilling that
responsibility, estiniates and judgments by management are required to
assess the expected benefits and related costs of control procedures.
The objectives of internal control systems used in administering federal
financial assistance programs are to provide management with reasonable,
but not absolute, assurance that, with respect to federal financial
assistance programs, resource use is consistent with laws, regulations,
and policies; resources are safeguarded against waste, loss, and misuse;
and reliable data are obtained, maintained, and fairly disclosed in
reports.
Because of inherent limitations in any system of internal accounting and
administrative controls used in administering federal financial
assistance programs, errors or irregularities may nevertheless occur and
not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of the systems to
future periods is subject to the risk that procedures may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of
compliance with the procedures may deteriorate.
Our study included all of the applicable control categories listed
above. During the year ended June 30, 1988, the City of Lodi,
California, expended 70% of its total federal financial assistance under
major federal financial assistance programs. With respect to internal
control systems used in administering major federal financial assistance
programs, our study and evaluation included considering the types of
errors and irregularities that could occ,ir, determining the internal
control procedures that should prevent or detect such errors and
irregularities, determining whether the necessary procedures are
prescribed and are being followed satisfactorily, and evaluating any
weaknesses.
With respect to the incernal control system used solely in administering
the nonmajor federal financial assistance programs of the City of Lodi,
California, our study and evaluation was limited to a preliminary review
of the systems to obtain an understanding of the control environment and
the flow of transactions through the accounting system. Our study and
evaluation of the internal control systems used solely in administering
the nonmajor federal financial assistance programs of the City of Lodi,
California, did not extend beyond this preliminary review phase.
Our studjj and evaluation was more limited than would be necessary to
exp-ess an opinion on the internal control systems used in administering
the federal financial assistance programs of the City of Lodi,

Also, our audit, made in accordance with the standards mentioned above,
would not necessarily disclose material weaknesses in the internal

condition that we believe to be a material weakness in relation to a
federal financial assistance program of the City of Lodi, California.
