FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE
MTG. 09-l l-01 FISCAL YEAR ENDED
DEPT. FIN JUNE 30,200l CITY MGR.-&&
Accept the Financial Status Report for the fiscal year ended June 30,200l.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The financial results for the General fund, the Water Operations fund, the Sewer Operations fund,
and the Redevelopment Agency are presented in the attached report for the fiscal year ended June
30, 2001 (Exhibit 1).
The 2000-01 fiscal year books are closed and the audit is under way. The Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report (CAFR) is expected to be issued in December 2001. The financial results shown in
this report for the General and Redevelopment funds are on a budgetary basis, which means the
expenditures include encumbrances and other adjustments to make them comparable to the adopted
budget. In addition, interest income is presented on an amortized cost basis for all funds rather than
at market value as required under generally accepted accounting principles. These adjustments will
be made for presentation in the CAFR.
The General fund ended the year with an available balance of $57 million. Revenues totaled $80.8
million, which were $444,000 above recent projections and $11.4 million higher than the previous year. Total expenditures (including operating transfers) at $71.2 million for the year were $6.2 million
below the budget. The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to the strong local economy with
the most noticeable improvement in property, sales and franchise taxes. Income from investments
and property also showed strong growth during the year, due in part to the maintenance of higher
average daily cash balances. The graph shows the effect of the stronger local economy on General
fund revenues during the past few years.
The chart also reflects the
slight leveling off of
expenditures during the year. Although expenditures
for general City services actually increased during the
year by approximately $6
million, the amount
transferred to the General
Capital Construction fund for
capital projects declined by $2.7 million. Thus, the net
increase shown in the graph
is minimal. Any revenues

General fund balance as of June 30, 2001 is $57 million.

Construction of the Vista/Carlsbad trunk line
Phases I and II of the South Agua Hedionda Interceptor
Work on numerous waterlines, pump stations and street maintenance projects throughout the
City.
The Water Operations fund had an operating income of $961,000 for the year. Due to heavier
than normal rainfall in the region, partially offset by an increase in the customer base, water sales
were $843,000 lower than last year. A large increase in other revenues more than compensated
for the reduction in water sales. This increase in other revenues was primarily the result of
recording property tax revenues in the Water Operations fund in 2000-01 versus the Capital
Replacement fund in 1999-00.
Sewer Operations had an annual operating income of $499,000 for the fiscal year. Total revenues
were higher than the previous year due to several factors, including an increase in the customer
base, higher interest earnings due to the maintenance of higher cash balances and a new revenue
source: engineering labor charged to capital projects. Expenditures were higher than the previous year due in large part to the maintenance and operations portion of the utility engineering and
utility billing charge backs included in the interdepartmental charges, as well as increased Encina
plant operating expenses resulting from the recent surge in gas and electricity rates.
Revenues to the Redevelopment Agency total $1.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2001, which is $87,000 more than the prior year. The Agency’s primary source of revenue is property
taxes, which increased by $192,000, or 14%, this year from the increase in assessed values within the Redevelopment area. Expenditures for the Agency were below budget by $40,000 due
to a postponed study and a water billing adjustment.
Additional information regarding the financial results for all of these funds is available in the
attached report (Exhibit 1).
FISCAL IMPACT:

The three largest economic segments in the City continue to be new auto sales, department stores and
restaurants; together they generate 54% of the City’s sales tax revenues.
In order to comply with a Revenue and Taxation Code provision passed in 1991, a sales tax rollback of
0.25% went into effect on January 1, 2001. This rollback was due to the state having back-to-back fiscal
years with a reserve fund of at least 4% of its total General fund. This reduction in the sales tax rate from
7.75% to 7.5% came from the State’s share of the sales tax. The City has continued to receive its 1%
share.
Property Taxes ($19.7 Million) - The City wrapped up the year with $19.7 million in
property tax revenues, an increase of 17% from fiscal year 1999-2000. According to
the County of San Diego Assessor’s Office reports, assessed values in Carlsbad
increased 18% for fiscal year 2000-01. This was the largest increase of any city in
San Diego County.
Financial Status Report 2
According to the most recent County of San Diego Assessor’s Office report, assessed values in Carlsbad
have increased 12.5% for fiscal year 2001-02. Although this increase was not the largest in the county,
Carlsbad has once again experienced another double-digit percentage increase for the upcoming year.

Transient Occupancy Tax ($9.3 Million] - Transient occupancy taxes (TOT) are
$936,000 more than the previous fiscal year. The increase in TOT revenues is due
entirely to the opening of the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel and the Carlsbad Beach
Hilton Gardens in June 2000. Without these two new hotels, TOT for the year
would have actually decreased by 1%. According to PKF Consulting, room rates
have increased during the past year, leading us to believe that the drop in TOT
increase in the vacancy rate experienced by local hotels. This is directly attributable
m in the economy.
Development-Related Revenues ($5 Million) - Development-related
revenues, which include building permits, planning fees, building department
fees, and engineering fees again this year reflect a slowing down of the
building activity in Carlsbad. The most noticeable decreases were seen in
engineering fees and building permits.
The most significant source of development-related revenues this past year was building permits, down 3%,
as compared to fiscal year 2000. Building permits are issued to cover the cost of regulating construction
activities. This allows the City the means to protect overall community interests. For the fiscal year, 1,823
new homes were started, compared to 1,838 new homes in fiscal year 2000. For the year, residential
home development was most active in Ranch0 Carrillo, La Costa Valley and Calavera Hills. In addition,
there was an extensive amount of multi-unit development throughout the City during the year.
Total commercial/industrial building permits issued this year comprised 811,336 commercial and 463,754
industrial square feet. This compares to 265,487 commercial and 475,664 industrial square fee permitted
last fiscal year. Some of the larger commercial projects permitted included the La Costa Glen apartment
buildings, Carlsbad Self Storage, Inns of America Suites, the AIbertson’s at La Costa Plaza, and the La Costa Glen Assisted Living facility.
Income From Investments and Property ($ 4.8 Million) - For the year, income
from investments and property is up almost $2.6 million. The increase in interest
revenue is due to two factors. First, General fund revenues have increased
significantly in the current fiscal year. Combining this increase in revenues with a
reduction in expenditures as compared to the previous year, the cash balance has
increased by 34% this year.
Secondly, investments are valued at an amortized cost in FY 2000-01 as compared to the market value in
the previous year. This accounting adjustment raised income from investments by an additional 25%.
The remaining increase in income from investments and property was created by an increase in rental
income.
0 Vehicle License Fees ($4.3 Million) - Vehicle License Fees (VLF) have
UP increased by $524,000 over 1999-2000 figures. Vehicle License Fees are
14% collected by the Department of Motor Vehicles and disbursed by the State
Controller to the City. The State taxes motor vehicles in lieu of local property taxes. Vehicle License Fees have increased this year due to the population
growth in the City and the Statewide increase in VLF received. Registered vehicles include automobiles,
Financial Status Report 3
trucks, trailers, and motorcycles. State Assembly Bill 858 went into effect on January 1, 2001. This bill
provides a 67.5% VLF credit to licensed vehicle owners in the State. Vehicle owners will see a reduced
VLF fee during the year. This reduction will be in place for the 2001 and 2002 calendar years. This bill is
double-joined with State Assembly Bill 511, which appropriated money necessary to cover the reduction in
VLF revenues so that cities and counties, the recipients of VLF, will not see any reduction in their VLF
revenues at this time.
Franchise Taxes ($3.8 Millionl - Franchise tax revenues are up significantly from
the previous fiscal year. Franchise fees come from public utility sources such as
SDG&E, trash collection franchises and cable franchises conducting business within
City limits. The majority of this year’s increase is due to increased collections from
San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E).
SDG&E pays franchise taxes for the use of public land over which they transport gas and electric services.
In addition, SDG&E also pays an “in-lieu” franchise tax based on the value of gas and electricity transported
on SDG&E lines but purchased from another source. The majority of “in-lieu” taxes collected are from
Cabrillo Power, the operator of the Encina Plant. This “in-lieu” tax was put in place to capture the franchise
taxes on gas and electricity that is transported using public lands but which would not otherwise be included
in the calculations for franchise taxes.
The franchise taxes paid by SDG&E are up in total by 18.9%. Net electricity sales increased by 1 I%, while
net gas sales increased by 45%. The “in-lieu” taxes are up 221.6% for the year. SDG&E did not complete
the sale of Cabrillo Power until May of 1999. Therefore, the 1999 “in-lieu” taxes paid by Cabrillo Power
represented just over 7 months worth of activity; on the other hand, “in-lieu” taxes collected in 2000 from
Cabrillo Power were for an entire year, creating the large variance.
Business License Tax ($2.3 Million) - Business license revenues have
increased by $437,000 over 1999-00 figures. The majority of this year’s
increase was due to two factors; the success of our recent public awareness
campaign and the licensing of Cabrillo Power.
In an effort to create equity among the business community, as well as bring businesses into compliance
with the City’s business license ordinance, the City embarked on a public awareness campaign. This
campaign was designed to educate the business community on the requirements and procedures for
business licensing in the City of Carlsbad. Over 2,100 letters were mailed to various businesses that were
potentially doing business in the City without a license. The City also implemented a temporary amnesty
period through September 30, 2000, for newly licensed businesses. During this amnesty period, all
penalties for prior business license taxes were waived for newly licensed businesses. The City saw 317
new organizations obtaining a business license as a result of this program, bringing in over $102,000 in
additional business license revenue.
The other factor in the growth in the business license tax is the licensing of Cabrillo Power. The power
plant was not required to have a business license when they were owned by SDG&E, as they were under a
franchise agreement with the City. However, since the sale of the plant, they are no longer under a
franchise agreement with the City. They are now required to pay business license taxes. The combination
of this new source of tax revenue, and the success of the amnesty program and the public awareness
campaign, has helped to push business license revenues up over 23% as compared to last year.
Interdepartmental Charges ($2.1 Million) - Interdepartmental charges are $141,000,
or 7%, more than last year. Interdepartmental charges are generated through the
Treasurer’s portfolio management fee, engineering overhead charged to capital projects
Financial Status Report
and miscellaneous interdepartmental expenses charged to funds outside of the General fund or services
performed by departments within the General fund. The majority of this year’s increase is due to an
increase in the monthly administrative overhead revenue generated through charges to funds outside of the
General fund.

UP 55%
.’
+ ?i!Q
Ambulance Fees ($1.4 Million1 - The City bills any individual who is
transported in one of the City’s ambulances. Billing and collecting of these
fees is done by an outside company, which receives a percentage of the fees I collected. For the year, ambulance fees are 55% or $513,000 higher than
fiscal year 1999-00. 25% of the increase is due to higher collection rates and
an increase in the City’s population, while 30% is due to a change in the accounting method for ambulance
fees to a full-accrual basis.
Other Licenses and Permits ($1.3 Million) - Other licenses and permits consist
of plumbing, electrical, mechanical, right-of-way, grading, conditional land use, lagoon, and other miscellaneous permit revenues. In the previous fiscal year
there was a large refund of fees for a permit application, which was withdrawn.
This is a big factor in the increase in fees for the current fiscal year. Additional
increases can be seen in miscellaneous building permits (plumbing, electrical and
mechanical), miscellaneous development permits (right-of-way and coastal development) and general permits (special use and fire protection systems).
Other Revenue Sources ($1.3 Million1 - Other revenue sources include
revenues received by the City to offset the costs of special studies or projects for
developers, reimbursements for damage done to City streets, right-of-ways, other
City owned property, other miscellaneous reimbursements, and donations. Year-
to-date other revenue sources are up by 119%. This increase in revenues is
primarily due to four reimbursements received by the City; two employee life insurance premium rebates
from the previous fiscal year, a rebate from San Diego Gas and Electric for previous overcharges and a
partial insurance reimbursement for water damage at the Senior Center.
0 Recreation Fees ($1.1 Million) - Recreation fees are generated through
instructional classes, youth and adult sports, the triathlon and other special
2% events, day trips, various aquatic programs, and lagoon permits. Year-to-date
recreation fee revenue is $244,000 ‘more than the previous fiscal year.
$187,000 of the current year recreational revenue-represents fees paid in the
prior year for programs in the current fiscal year. In fiscal year 1999-2000 these amounts were shown as
deferred revenues and recognized as revenue in the current fiscal year.

l Water sales are down slightly from the previous year due to the heavier than normal rainfall
the region experienced this past winter. UP l 4% Increase in charges for current services is due to the net effect of a $110,000 decrease in
plan check revenue and a $176,000 increase in delivery charge revenue due to the increased
customer base.
l Increase in interest revenue is due to the maintenance of a higher cash balance as
compared to the prior fiscal year, as well as an increase in the market value on investments.
l The decrease in fines, forfeitures and penalties is the result of allocating late charges to the various
utility services (water, sewer and trash) in the current fiscal year. In the previous fiscal year, all late
charges were reflected in the Water Enterprise.
l The majority of the increase in other revenues is the result of recording property tax revenues in the
Water Operations fund in 2000-01 versus the Capital Replacement fund in 1999-00.
Financial Status Report
l Expenses
l Purchased water expense has decreased by 4% due to the net effect of the recent heavy
rainfall the region has experienced, partially offset by a 1% increase in the cost per acre foot
of water.
l Reduction in staffing costs is the result of moving utility engineering and utility billing staff to
the General fund and charging for their services through interdepartmental charges.
In total, staffing and interdepartmental charges are $135,000 higher than the previous year. This is due
to the maintenance and operations portion of the utility engineering and utility billing charge backs
included in the interdepartmental charges.
Although gas and electric rates have increased drastically during the current fiscal year, utilities charged
to the Water Operations fund have only increased 7% from the previous fiscal year due to the allocation
of charges between Water Operations and Reclaimed Water Operations.
Increase in depreciation/replacement expense represents an operating transfer made to the Capital
Replacement fund to partially cover the annual capital replacement costs.
Outside services and maintenance expenses have decreased due largely to three factors. First, there
was a reduction in the current fiscal year for installation and training expenses for the new utility billing
system that occurred in the previous fiscal year. In addition, the engineering consulting expenses are
now being charged through interdepartmental charges instead of being charged directly to the Water
Enterprise fund. Finally, the reduction in miscellaneous outside services is due to normal fluctuations in
spending for maintenance and environmental compliance.
Miscellaneous expenses are up due to several factors; the increase in the cost for meters and fittings,
utility billing write-offs and gains on the disposal of assets. These increases were partially offset by a
decrease in computer software expenses related to the utility billing system and a reduction in postage
expenses due to fewer customer mailings and reduced supplies expense.

l
Increase in charges for current services are due to an increase in the customer base.
Increase in interest revenue is attributable to the maintenance of a higher cash balance as
well as an increase in the market value on investments.
Other revenues include charges for engineering labor charged to capital projects. This new
revenue source is the result of charging engineering overhead on sewer capital projects and
will partially offset the new utility engineering charge back expense.
Reduction in staffing costs is the result of moving utility engineering staff to the General fund
and charging for their services through interdepartmental charges.
In total, staffing and interdepartmental charges are $406,000 higher than the previous year.
This is due to the maintenance and operations portion of the utility engineering and utility
billing charge backs included in the interdepartmental charges and a more accurate
accounting of the Sanitation fund’s share of these costs.
Encina Plant services are paid quarterly and are based on the actual costs incurred at the plant. Actual
operating expenses in the current year have increased by 25% primarily due to higher energy costs. In
addition, $88,000 was paid to reimburse Encina for expenses that exceeded revenues in fiscal year
1999-2000 as determined by their audit. In the prior fiscal year, the City reimbursed Encina $357,000
for expenses that exceeded revenues.
The $52,000 decrease from 1999-2000 in outside services/maintenance is due primarily to sewer
relocation costs incurred last year, which were associated with the Chestnut Avenue/Valley Street
sidewalk project.
The reduction in capital outlay is the result of the purchasing and refurbishing of sewer maintenance
equipment in 1999-2000.

Revenues
l Assessed values within the Redevelopment area are up approximately 12%, thereby
causing an increase in property tax revenues.
l Higher interest revenues are due to the maintenance of higher cash balances in the
current fiscal year as well as an increase in the market value on investments.
l The majority of the decrease in miscellaneous revenues is the result of a $200,000
federal grant received last fiscal year for assistance in the purchase of the Tyler Court
Apartments.

Expenditures
l Excluding the purchase of the Tyler Court Apartments last fiscal year, total expenditures
were 5% higher this past fiscal year.
l Outside services, maintenance and miscellaneous expenses were up by 27% this year.
