INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
The Honorable Board of Supervisors
County of San Luis Obispo, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the County of San Luis Obispo, California (County), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2013,
and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the County’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.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the
financial statements of the San Luis Obispo County Pension Trust Fund and the First 5 San Luis Obispo County,
a discretely presented component unit. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports
have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the San Luis Obispo
County Pension Trust, and the First 5 San Luis Obispo County are based solely on the reports of the other
auditors. 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
opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the
business-type activities, the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining
fund information of the County, 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.

The Honorable Board of Supervisors
County of San Luis Obispo, California
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s
discussion and analysis, schedules of funding progress for both the defined benefit retirement plan and the other
post employment benefits (OPEB) plan and budgetary comparison information, 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 County's basic financial statements. The introductory section, combining and individual nonmajor fund
financial statements and schedules, and 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 relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to
prepare the basic 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 information is 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.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 19, 2013 on
our consideration of the County’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 County’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

COUNTY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2013
As management of the County of San Luis Obispo, (the County), we offer readers the County’s financial
statements, this narrative overview, and analysis of the financial activities of the County for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2013. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with
the transmittal letter at the front of this report and the County’s financial statements, which begin on
page 41. All amounts, unless otherwise indicated, are expressed in thousands of dollars.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (in thousands)
In FY 2012-13 the County implemented GASB Statements No. 63, Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows
of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources. GASB 63 provides financial reporting guidance for deferred
outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources. Deferred outflows and inflows occur when
governments enter into transactions that result in the consumption or acquisition of net assets in one period
that are applicable to future periods. They are distinguished from assets and liabilities. Consequently, the
Statement of Net Assets is now referred to as the Statement of Net Position.
The assets of the County exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year by
$1,662,615 (net position). Of this amount $362,690 (unrestricted net position) may be used to
meet the government’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors, $28,863 is restricted for specific
purposes (restricted net position), and $1,271,062 is invested in capital assets, net of related debt.
(Table A)
The County’s net position increased by $78,917 during the current fiscal year. The increase in
restricted and unrestricted net position represents the degree to which increases in ongoing
revenues exceeded increases in ongoing expenditures. The increase in capital assets net of related
debt represents capital acquisitions during the year reduced by depreciation and increased by
retirement of long-term debt. (Table B)
As of June 30, 2013 the County’s governmental activities reported combined ending net position of
$1,437,044, an increase of $40,228 in comparison with the prior year. Approximately 22% of the
combined fund balances, or $362,690 is available for spending at the County’s discretion for current
and future needs (unrestricted net position). (Table A)
Business-type activities posted net program income of $33,804 before general revenues,
contributions and transfers from other funds, an increase of $31,249 when compared to net program
income of $2,555 in the prior year. Significant differences from the prior year include an increase of
$26,590 of contributed capital in the Los Osos Wastewater fund related to escalated construction
activity. Additionally, the Los Osos Wastewater fund had a decrease of $6,288 related to the prior
year assumption of State loans from the Los Osos CSD.
At the end of the fiscal year, the entire $207,699 fund balance of the general fund was either
nonspendable ($3,092), restricted ($4,005), committed ($96,365) or assigned ($104,237).
The County issued new Assessment bonds of $24,173 to the USDA to finance costs of the Los Osos
Wastewater project, an increase of $8,809 over prior year issuances required by an increase in
construction activities in the current fiscal year. Additional bonds will be issued as future project
expenditures occur.
21
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the County’s basic financial
statements. The County’s basic financial statements include four components: 1) government-wide financial
statements, 2) fund financial statements, 3) notes to the financial statements, and 4) required
supplementary information. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the
basic financial statements.
Government-wide financial statements
The Government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the
County’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The Statement of Net Position (formerly the Statement of Net Assets) presents information on all of the
County’s assets, deferred outflows, liabilities and deferred inflows, with the difference 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 County is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the government’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 the related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses
are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g.,
uncollected taxes and earned but unused employee vacation balances).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the County that are principally
supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are
intended to recover all or a significant portion of their cost through user fees and charges (business-type
activities). The governmental activities of the County include public protection, public ways and facilities,
health and sanitation, public assistance, education, recreational and cultural services and general
government. The main business-type activities of the County include the airport, golf courses, flood control
districts, the Nacimiento water project, the Los Osos wastewater project and county services areas.
Blended component units are included in our basic financial statements and consist of legally separate
entities for which the County is financially accountable and that have substantially the same board as the
County or provide services entirely to the County. They include county service areas, flood control districts,
waterworks districts, lighting maintenance districts, and the San Luis Obispo County Public Facilities
Corporation and San Luis Obispo County Financing Authority.
The County discretely presents the First 5 San Luis Obispo County component unit. The mission of First 5 is
to allocate funds from the California Children and Families Trust Fund and advocate for quality programs and
services, supporting children prenatal to age 5, to ensure that every child is healthy and ready to learn in
school. First 5 does not meet the requirements for blending, and therefore its financial activities are
presented separately from the County.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 41 to 43 of this report.
22
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
Fund financial statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been
segregated for specific activities or objectives. The County, like other state and local governments, uses
fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the
funds of the County can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and
fiduciary funds.
Governmental 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 fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows
of spendable resources, as well as on the balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal
year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government’s near-term financing requirements.
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 fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statements of revenues,
expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between
governmental funds and governmental activities.
The County maintains twenty-four individual governmental funds organized according to their type: general,
special revenue, debt service, and capital projects. 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 and the capital projects fund, which are considered to be major funds.
Data from the remaining twenty-two governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated
presentation. Individual fund data for each of the non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of
combining statements found in the other supplementary information section of this report.
A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for the general fund and any major special revenue
funds to demonstrate compliance with the budget and can be located in the required supplementary section
of the report. Individual budgetary data for each of the non-major governmental funds is provided in the
other supplementary information section of this report.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 47 to 50 of this report.
Proprietary funds – The County maintains two different types of proprietary funds, enterprise and internal
service funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities
in the government-wide financial statements. The County uses enterprise funds to account for the airport,
golf course, transit districts, flood control districts, waterworks districts and county service areas. Internal
service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the County’s
various functions. The County uses internal service funds to account for its reprographic services, vehicle
operations and maintenance, public works services, Other Post Employment Benefits, and self-insurance
programs. Because these services predominately benefit governmental rather than business-type functions,
they have been included within governmental activities in the governmental-wide financial statements.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in
more detail. The Airport, Nacimiento Water Contract, State Water Project, Lopez Flood Control, and Los
Osos Wastewater funds are considered to be major funds of the County and are presented separately in the
proprietary fund financial statements. All other enterprise funds have been combined into a single column
for presentation. The eight internal service funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation in the
proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the internal service and enterprise funds is
provided in the form of combining statements found in the other supplementary section of this report.
23
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 51 to 53 of this report.
Fiduciary funds – Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the
government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the
resources of those funds are not available to support the County’s own programs. The accounting used for
fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds.
The basic fiduciary fund financial statements can be found on pages 54 to 55 of this report.
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements – The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.
The notes to the basic financial statements can be found on pages 59 to 93 of this report.
Required Supplementary Information – The statements are followed by a section of required supplementary
information (RSI) that further explains and supports the information in the financial statements.
The required supplementary information can be found on pages 97 to 101 of this report.
Other Supplementary Information – In addition to the basic financial statements, accompanying notes, and
required supplementary information, this report also presents certain other supplementary information
concerning the County’s general fund and special revenue funds budgetary schedules and combining and
individual fund statements.
Combining and individual fund statements and schedules – The combining and individual fund statements
and schedules referred to earlier provide information for non-major governmental funds, enterprise, internal
service funds, and fiduciary funds and are presented immediately following the required supplementary
information. Combining and individual fund statements and schedules can be found on pages 107 to 120
and 143 to 165 of this report.
Budgetary comparison schedules – Budgetary comparison schedules for major funds (other than the General
Fund which is presented with the individual General Fund statements). The budgetary comparison schedules
for the Capital Projects, Pension Obligation Bond, Public Financing Corporation, Public Financing Authority
and non-major Special Revenue funds can be found on pages 123 to 140 of this report.
Detail Budgetary schedules demonstrating legal level of compliance with budgetary control for the General
Fund are presented with the individual General Fund statements on pages 169 to 175 of this report.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
In accordance with changes in governmental accounting standards, the County applied Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34 to these financial statements.
As stated earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position.
In the case of the County, assets and deferred outflows exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows by
$1,662,615 as detailed in the table below:

Analysis of Net Position
Approximately 22% or $362,690 of the County’s net position represents unrestricted net position, which may
be used to meet the County’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
The most significant portion of the County’s net position, $1,271,062 or 76%, reflects its investment in
capital assets net of accumulated depreciation (e.g. land and easements, structures and improvements,
infrastructure, and equipment), less any outstanding related debt used to acquire those assets. The County
uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for
future spending. Although the County’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it
should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since
the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
The remaining balance of the County’s net position of $28,863, or 2%, represents resources that are subject
to external restrictions on how they may be used.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the County reported positive balances in all three categories of net
position, both for the County as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental activities and business-
type activities. Net position for governmental activities increased $40,228 and net position for business
activities increased $38,689 resulting in an overall increase of $78,917 in the County’s total net position.
25
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
Net Investment in capital assets for business type activities increased $13,337. This increase is primarily due
to construction activity in the Los Osos Wastewater fund that does not have related debt. The remainder is
comprised of reductions to capital related debt from scheduled debt service principal payments and
construction in progress in various nonmajor enterprise activities.
Net Investment in capital assets for governmental activities increased $4,039. The majority of the increase is
associated with construction in progress for several large infrastructure projects having no related debt, and
the retirement of capital related long-term debt.
There was an increase of $64,155 in unrestricted net position reported in connection with the Total Primary
Government. This category represents net position of the County which is not subject to constraints imposed
by creditors, grantors, contributors, laws or regulations. This amount may be used to meet the County’s
general obligations. The increase was due to excess general revenues over net program revenues and a
decrease in amounts restricted for commitments to creditors.
The table on the next page indicates the changes in net position for governmental and business-type
activities:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
Analysis of Governmental and Business-type Activities
Governmental Activities
Governmental activities increased San Luis Obispo County’s net position by $40,228 compared to an increase
of $40,794 in the prior year. Factors contributing to the increase are as follows:
Total revenues from Governmental Activities grew by 5.0% with a net increase of $21.1 million from the
prior year. Program Revenues were essentially unchanged with the exception of increases in Operating
Grants and Contributions and Other Taxes and a decrease in Capital Grants and Contributions.
The Operating Grants and Contributions category rose primarily due to a $10.3 million increase in Mental
Health Medi-Cal and Mental Health Services Act state funding in the Health and Sanitation function.
Operating Grants and Contributions also saw increases in the Public Protection function in part due to
increased State funding from the passage of AB 109, commonly known as 2011 Public Safety Realignment,
which realigned responsibility for incarcerating certain offenders from the State to counties with funding
provided by the State. Additionally the Public Protection function received increased Proposition 172 sales tax
funding.
Other Taxes increased by $7.6 million the majority of which relates to an increase in Sales and Use tax
revenue due to the construction of a solar farm in the Carissa Plains. Transient Occupancy taxes and
Property Transfer taxes also showed slight increases over the prior year.
A $10.5 million decrease in the Capital Grants and Contributions category was caused primarily by revenue
reductions in the Public Ways and Protection function as the Willow Road Interchange and San Simeon Creek
roads projects wound-down.
Transfers from Business-type to Governmental activities decreased by slightly more than $8 million primarily
due to a prior year one-time transfer of reserves from the Nacimiento Water Contract fund (Nacimiento
Water Contract Business-Type activity) to the SLO Flood Control & Water Conservation District
(Governmental Activities, Public Ways and Facilities function).
Total expenses from Governmental Activities increased $14 million over the prior year. Within Governmental
Activities, the Recreation and Cultural Services function had the most significant increase (32.6%) driven
slightly by the expense of increased salaries, but mostly by the loss on the retirement of Parks capital assets.
Health and Sanitation (5.2%) and Public Ways and Facilities (5.0%) functional expenses also increased. The
increase in Health and Sanitation functional expenses was caused by increased salaries, services and
supplies for Mental Health and Drug and Alcohol treatment services including an adult drug treatment court
collaborative. The increase in Public Ways and Facilities reflects greater general road maintenance activity in
FY 2012-13.
The County has remained committed to a seven-year plan enacted in FY 2007-08 to navigate through
national and local fiscal challenges and address a consequential structural budget gap. The plan includes a
combination of short-term measures and expenditure reductions, with expenditure reductions addressing a
larger share of the gap as the plan progresses. Expenditure measures have included reducing department
budgets, maintaining a partial hiring freeze, and progressing labor negotiations including pension cost
sharing, reduced benefit pension plans (Tier 2 and Tier 3) for new employees; and an updated approach to
setting salaries by using a broader labor market for equitable compensation comparisons. As a result, the
budget gap has been reduced from a peak of $30 million in FY 2009-10 to $2.2 million FY 2013-14.
Business-type Activities
Business-type Activities increased San Luis Obispo County’s net position by $38.7 million compared to a
decrease of $.9 million in the previous year. Revenues exceeded expenses by $38.5 million, and a transfer
of $166 thousand from Governmental Activities resulted in the total increase to net position. Key elements
of current year activity are as follows:
28
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
Total revenue increased $26.2 million from the preceding year. The largest increase occurred in Capital
Grants and Contributions ($27.3 million) due to escalated construction activity for the Los Osos Wastewater
Project. The increase in Capital Grants and Contributions was offset by slight decreases in Fees, Fines and
Charges for Services ($856 thousand) and in Operating Grants and Contributions ($275 thousand). The
largest decrease in Fees Fines and Contributions ($522 thousand) resulted from decreased water sales in the
General Flood Control activity. Decreased water sales also resulted in lower revenue for the State Water
Contract activity. The $275 thousand decrease in Operating Grants and Contributions was primarily caused
by a prior year one-time Federal Aviation Administration reimbursement for airport equipment.
General Revenues for Business-type activities were consistent with the prior year with the exception of an $8
thousand decrease in transfers due to a prior year one-time transfer of reserves from the Nacimiento Water
Contract fund to the SLO Flood Control & Water Conservation District reported under Governmental
Activites.
Expenses for Business-type Activities decreased $5.1 million from the prior year. Within Business-type
activities, the largest decrease ($6.3 million) was attributable to a spike in Los Osos Wastewater expenses
in the prior year caused by a one-time charge related to the assumption of State loans from the Los Osos
CSD. This decrease in expenses was offset slightly by an increase in Nacimiento Water Contract services and
supplies.
FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF COUNTY'S FUNDS
As noted earlier, the County uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-
related legal requirements.
Governmental Funds
The focus of the County’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and
balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the County’s financing
requirements. In particular, total fund balance less the nonspendable portion may serve as a useful
measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. Total fund
balance consists of the following components (see footnote 11 for additional detail):
Nonspendable fund balance, $3,688, represents amounts that are not spendable in form, or are
legally or contractually required to be maintained intact, and includes (1) inventories of $96
(2) prepaid items of $340 and (3) long term receivables of $3,252.
Restricted fund balance, $22,316, represents amounts that are subject to externally enforceable
legal restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, laws, regulations, or enabling
legislation. This balance includes amounts restricted for (1) Tax Loss Reserves of $4,005 (2) Public
Protection of $11, (3) Public Ways and Facilities of $16,033, and (4) Debt Service of $2,267.
Committed fund balance, $162,268, represents amounts with constraints imposed by the Board of
Supervisors for specified purposes. Significant components of this balance include commitments for
(1) Public Protection – $16,976, (2) Solar Plant Mitigation – $8,078, (3) Automation Projects –
$10,755 (4) Building Replacement $12,441 (5) Tax Reduction Reserve – $35,549, and (6) Capital
Projects – $25,084.
Assigned fund balance, $104,237, represents amounts the County intends to use for specific
purposes that are neither restricted nor committed. Significant components of this balance include
(1) Health and Sanitation – $20,342, (2) Tax Reduction Reserve – $17,394, (3) Public Protection –
$16,384, (4) Public Assistance – $13,134, and (5) Subsequent Fiscal Year Budget - $30,134.
29
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the County’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balance of $292,509, an increase of 11.5%, or $30,158 in comparison with the prior year. Approximately
91% of the total fund balance, or $266,505, is available to meet the County’s current and future needs.
General Fund
The general fund is the chief operating fund of the County. As of the end of the current fiscal year,
spendable fund balance of the general fund was $204,607 while total fund balance reached $207,699. As a
measure of the general fund’s liquidity, it is useful to compare both total fund balance and spendable fund
balance to total fund expenditures of $346.4 million. Spendable fund balance represents 59% of the total
fund expenditures, while total fund balance represents 60% of the same amount, a 7% increase from the
prior year. During the current fiscal year, the fund balance of the general fund increased by $26.7 million.
The following provides an explanation for the change in fund balance.
Total revenues exceeded total expenditures by $51.1 million. General fund revenues ended the year with
an increase of $20.3 million over the prior year. Total expenditures increased $7.6 million.
Most revenue categories were essentially unchanged from the prior year with the exception of Aid from
Governmental Agencies and Taxes which increased by $11.4 million and $10.5 million respectively. The
$11.4 million increase in Aid from Governmental Agencies was driven by large increases in state funding
for Mental Health Medi-Cal and Mental Health Services Act services along with increases in realignment
revenue. The Taxes increase is primarily comprised of a $6.4 million increase in Sales and Use Tax due
to the construction of a new solar farm in the Carissa Plains. Revenue from Current Property Taxes and
Transient Occupancy Taxes also increased for the third consecutive year.
Total expenditures in General Fund increased $7.6 million (2.2%) from the prior year. Expenditures
were down or relatively flat for all functions except for the Public Protection function which experienced
a $5.1 million increase over the prior year. This increase was driven by additional Sheriff-Coroner
expense related to the 2011 Realignment program, as well as County Fire staffing associated with the
Carissa Plains solar farm construction project and Planning Department strategic planning and affordable
housing activities. General Government functional expenditures decreased $1.5 million primarily due to
decreased Information Technology maintenance contracts and across the board decreases in insurance
costs. The decrease was offset by increases in the Health and Sanitation function due to increased
salaries, services and supplies for Mental Health and Drug and Alcohol treatment services and increased
salaries in the Public Assistance function.
Capital Projects
The Capital Projects Fund handles construction projects for the County’s governmental funds. The fund had
a total fund balance of $25.1 million. Capital outlay expenditures exceeded revenues by $3.3 million and
transfers in exceeded transfers out by $5.7 million. The net of these two factors resulted in a $2.4 million
increase in fund balance for the current year. Funding for specific projects comes from use of designations,
public facilities fees, issuance of long-term debt, and aid from other government agencies. The general fund
transferred $3.5 million for Facility Planning and $1.2 million for Solar and Energy projects to the Capital
Projects Fund in the current year. Significant current year activities of the Capital Projects Fund are
discussed in the Capital Assets section under Governmental Activities.
Governmental Fund Revenues
Revenues for governmental funds combined totaled $451.4 million in the current fiscal year, which
represents an increase of approximately 3.0% or $13.2 million from the prior fiscal year revenues of $438.2
million.
The following table presents the amount of revenues from various sources and also displays increases or
decreases from the prior year.

Total $ 451,413 100% $ 438,167 100% $ 13,246 3.0%
The following provides an explanation of revenues by source that changed significantly over the prior
year in the governmental funds.
Taxes increased $10.9 million or 6.7%. $6.4 million of the increase is from Sales and Use Tax due
to the construction of a new solar farm in the Carissa Plains. Revenue from Current Property
Taxes and Transient Occupancy Taxes also increased for the third consecutive year; however,
the Transient Occupancy Tax increase was offset by a slight decrease in Tax Loss Reserve Fund
proceeds.
Revenues from Use of Money and Property decreased $798 thousand or 35.1%. The most
significant factor relates to a spike in the prior fiscal year caused by the receipt of two year’s
worth of right of way lease payments being received in a single year. In addition, the County
experienced a decrease in interest revenue.
Charges for Current Services decreased $3.9 million or 8.5%. The largest factor contributing to
the decrease was the issuance of $1.8 million in refunds of SB2557 property tax administrative
fees previously charged to cities in the County. The refunds resulted from a Supreme Court
decision regarding the method of calculation of the fees. Also contributing to the decline was a
reduction in collections of Road Impact Fees and also in payments by the Courts for County
provided services.
Other Revenues increased $2.9 million or 34.2%. The increase was comprised primarily of
receipts of $1.7 million from a court settlement regarding a local development. Additionally, the
County received $815 thousand in non-governmental contributions toward the construction of
new libraries in Cambria and Atascadero.

The following provides an explanation of the expenditures by function that changed significantly over the
prior year.
Public Protection expenditures increased $5.3 million or 3.8% due to additional Sheriff-Coroner
expenditures related to the 2011 Realignment program. Costs also increased for County Fire
staffing associated with Carissa Plains solar farm construction projects and for Planning
Department strategic planning and affordable housing activities.
Public Ways and Facilities expenditures decreased $6.2 million or 15.3%. The fluctuation is
attributable primarily to decreased spending on countywide maintenance projects along with
decreased construction and maintenance activity in the Roads Fund. Significant projects
finalized in the current fiscal year include the Willow Road Interchange project in Nipomo and
the preliminary engineering phase of the Oceano Drainage project.
Capital Outlay expenditures decreased $1.8 million or 33.4%. The majority of the decrease is
attributable to the Creston Fire Station construction being completed in the prior year. The
decrease due to the fire station was partially offset by a slight increase in expenditures related
to the Juvenile Hall construction project.
Proprietary Funds
The County’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial
statements, but in more detail. The following table shows actual revenues, expenses, and results of

All the enterprise funds are expected to continue to meet all ongoing cost of operations and in the long term
be able to maintain sufficient reserves.
The Airport Fund reported an operating loss of $1.1 million, slightly less than the prior year loss
of $1.6 million. Net position decreased by $683 thousand in the current year. The loss was less
than anticipated in the FY 2012-13 budget due to control of expenditures, despite a 1.4%
decrease in passenger enplanements compared to the prior year. Although enplanements
declined, the 1.4% decrease is an improvement over the prior year decrease of 4%.
The Nacimiento Water Contract Fund realized operating income of $8.8 million, and increased
net position by $641 thousand, an improvement over the prior year $5.1 million decrease in net
position. The prior year decrease in net position was due to a one-time $8.8 million transfer of
reserves to the SLO Flood Control & Water Conservation District that became available for
general district needs once the pipeline became fully operational. In its second full year of water
delivery, the fund’s revenues decreased slightly ($12 thousand) and expenditures for contractors
increased by $2.2 million causing a net decrease in operating income of $2.4 million (21%).
33
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
The State Water Project Fund reported $658 thousand in operating income after reporting a loss
of $174 thousand in the prior year. The $832 thousand increase in operating income resulted
from a 25% increase in property tax revenue and an 89% decrease in professional services
expenses.
The Los Osos Wastewater Fund reported an operating loss of $339 thousand primarily due to
costs associated with the Water Conservation Program. Capital contributions increased to $35.7
million which is $26.6 million over the prior year amount. The increase in capital contributions
caused a change in net position of $35.4 million.
GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
The original budget for expenditures and transfers out increased by $28.4 million, or 7%, during the course
of the year contributing towards the final amended budget. This increase was funded in part by increases in
budgeted revenues of $16.4 million and the use of reserves and designations for the balance.
Unanticipated revenues totaling $9.3 million in State and Federal Aid, $3.9 million in Other Revenue, and
$1.3 million in Charges for Current Services financed the budget augmentations and also offset an
unanticipated decrease of $174 thousand in Other Financing Sources. The largest budget augmentations
occurred in the functional areas of General Government ($12.3 million), Public Protection ($8.3 million), and
Health and Sanitation ($3.9 million). The increases for the General Government function include prior year
carryovers for facilities planning funding and new library construction ($4.7 million) and for services and
supplies for all departments ($4.2 million). $3.2 million of the services and supplies carryover is attributable
to maintenance project budgets that were carried forward from FY 2011-12 to FY 2012-13. Other
significant budget increases for the General Government function include $596 thousand in appropriations to
fund a lawsuit regarding the construction of the New Government Center as well as other litigation matters,
and a $600 thousand increase in funding to the Public Defender. Significant Public Protection function
budget augmentations include $2.1 million for the Sheriff-Coroner’s programs, $1.8 million for Planning
programs and $1.2 million for County Fire services. Several additional budget supplements took place in the
Health and Sanitation function. $1.2 million of augmentations were approved for Mental Health Services Act
programs; $831 thousand for federal and state grants for Drug and Alcohol services; and $703 thousand for
Mental Health services. At the close of the current fiscal year, actual General Fund expenditures were 90%
of budget, while General Fund revenues were realized at 99% of budget.
CAPITAL ASSET AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital Assets
At June 30, 2013, the County had $1.6 billion invested in a broad range of capital assets, including land,
buildings, systems improvements, machinery and equipment, park facilities, golf courses, airport facilities,
roads, bridges, dams, and water and sewer lines (see Table F on the following page). This amount
represents a net increase (including additions and deductions) of $37 million or 2.4% from last year.

Major additions and future commitments in capital assets – Governmental activities
County Roads had the majority of additions in governmental activities with $5.0 million worth of assets
related to the Willow Road Interchange project in Nipomo, $3.0 million for a bridge project on Price Canyon
road, $1.3 million on a Nacimiento Road overlay project and $810 thousand of improvements to the Maria
Vista Estates project. Other infrastructure projects completed during FY 2012-13 include an upgrade to the
Sheriff-Coroner’s evidence room ($0.4 million) and dispatch console system ($0.5 million) as well as Office of
Emergency Services decontamination showers and radiation monitors ($0.1 million). On-going projects
include a Women’s Jail, expansion of the Juvenile Hall, and development of new sites for the Cambria and
Atascadero Libraries.
Major additions and future commitments in capital assets – Business-type activities
The majority of additions ($39 million) and future commitments ($60 million) in business-type activities
relate to the $173 million wastewater project for the community of Los Osos. The project is designed to
address groundwater contamination issues caused by years of seepage from septic systems and is scheduled
for completion in early 2015. In FY 2012-13, the County implemented a water conservation program with
the goal of reducing indoor consumption to 50 gallons per person per day in accordance with the project’s
Coastal Development Permit.
The General Flood Control Zone recognized $0.4 million of assets related to the Arroyo Grande Rodriguez
Bridge fish passage improvement project. This project was designed to reconstruct a portion of the Arroyo
Grande Creek that had an exposed concrete water supply line within the bed of the channel. Water flow had
nearly undermined the encasement, potentially leading to failure of the pipeline and creating a drop that
created a partial barrier to fish passage.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
More detailed information about the County's capital assets is presented in Notes 4 and 5 in the financial
statements.
Debt Administration
At the end of the current fiscal year, the County of San Luis Obispo had total notes and bonds payable of
$442.1 million. In July 2003, the county issued Pension Obligation Bonds to refund the Unfunded Actuarial
Accrued Liability due to the Pension Trust. In 2009, the County issued the 2009 Series A Term Bonds to
refund and defease the 2003 Series B Auction Rate Bonds. The balance remaining on the County’s Pension
Obligation Bonds at the end of FY 2012-13 is $115.6 million. Pension Obligation Bonds debt service
payments are funded by County payroll benefits. The remainder of the County’s debt consists of: $45.3
million in certificates of participation, which are repaid from a variety of revenues; $34.4 million in State
loans and $196.3 million in revenue bonds which are repaid with water service revenue. General Obligation
Bonds totaling $10.9 million are backed by the full faith and credit of the County. Additionally, the County is
liable for $2.4 million of special assessment debt in the event of default by the property owner subject to the
assessment.

The increase over last year for the County’s notes and bonds payable was $13.6 million, or 3.2%. This
increase is the net of new debt issuances and scheduled debt payments. During FY 2012-13, the County
issued $24.2 million in Assessment Bonds.
The County also issued a $19.8 million Certificate of Participation (COP) to refund the 2002 A COP, which
was used to finance a portion of the new government center along with the Dairy Creek Golf Course. The
economic gain from the refunding was $2.4 million. Debt service is provided by semi-annual payments
funded by general County revenues for the portion of the COP relating to the new government center and by
semi-annual lease payments from the Dairy Creek Golf Course.
36
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
The County received a credit rating of “AA-” from Standard & Poor’s and an “AA” rating from Fitch on the
COP debt issuance in FY 2012-13.
State statutes limit the amount of general obligation debt a governmental entity may issue to 1.25% of its
net assessed valuation. The current debt limitation for the County is $522.5 million.
Additional information on the County’s long-term debt can be found in Note 10 to the financial statements.
Other liabilities include compensated absences of $25.8 million for governmental activity compensated
absences and $297 thousand for business-type activities compensated absences; landfill post-closure costs
of $4.2 million; and a self-insurance liability of $18.8 million. More detailed information about the County’s
long-term liabilities is presented in Note 10 to the financial statements.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET AND RATES
For the sixth straight year, the County is forced to tackle budgeting challenges created by flat or
decreasing revenues. Fiscal year 2013-2014 represents year six of a seven year budget
balancing plan that began in fiscal year 2008-09. The plan is designed to gradually close a
structural budget gap by transitioning from the use of short-term solutions initially to, increasing
reliance on expenditure reductions so that structural balance is achieved by the end of year
seven. The plan has been successful to date, with the budget gap reduced to $2.2 million for FY
2013-14 from $30 million in FY 2009-10.
Faced with a $2.2 million budget gap in the General Fund’s Status Quo budget, the County used
a combination of short-term solutions and expenditure reductions to bridge the gap. The FY
2013-14 budget used short-term solutions to bridge 10% of the gap and ongoing expenditure
reductions to cover the remaining 90%.
The County’s unemployment rate dropped to 6.2% in October 2013, lower than both the state
rate of 8.7% and the national rate of 7.3%.
Economic indicators show some signs of local economic improvement from the recent economic
downturn:
Local housing market indicators were mixed. Home sales dropped to 353 homes sold
(data as of October 2013) or by 6.1 % year from the prior year. However, as of
October 2013, the median price for homes increased 20.7%, to $434,500 from $360,000
in October 2012.
The number of building permits issued was flat and remained around the lowest number
issued in the last 10 years
Property transfer taxes for unincorporated areas came in 16.8% higher than the
preceding year reflecting an increase in the value and number of real estate transactions
County assessed property tax valuations increased slightly from $41.3 million to $41.8
million or 1.1%.
Transit Occupancy tax (bed tax) collections continued an upward trend in FY 2012-13,
with an increase of 16.6% over FY 2011-12.
The Board of Supervisors adopted the FY 2013-14 budget in June 2013, with a $65.2 million
fund balance in the general fund, of which $30.1 million was appropriated to finance the current
year’s expenditures including contingencies, $9 million was placed in general reserves, and $8.2
million was earmarked for designations. The total General Fund budget for FY 2013-14 is $414
million, a 3% increase from the previous year. The County budget also includes community-
wide results and indicators as well as department goals and performance measures that gauge
how departments are meeting the needs of the community.

June 30, 2013 (in thousands)
Fund Balance - total governmental funds (page 47) $ 2 92,509
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement
of net position are different because:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources and,
therefore, are not reported in the governmental funds. 1 ,118,178
Accrued property tax and grant revenues are not available to pay for current-period
expenditures and, therefore, are deferred in the funds. 27,302
The pension assets resulting from contributions in excess of the annual required
contribution are not financial resources and, therefore, are not reported in the funds. 135,119
The other post employment benefit (OPEB) asset is not available to pay for current-period
expenditures and, therefore, is deferred in the funds. 1,539
Cost of issuance on pension obligation bonds recognized as current expenditures in the governmental funds
are deferred in the statement of net position. 1,790
Internal service funds are used by the County to charge the cost of vehicle fleet management,
centralized reprographic services, comprehensive public works services, and operations of the
County's workers' compensation, protected self-insurance, unemployment, and dental insurance
programs to individual funds. The assets and liabilities are included in governmental activities
in the statement of net position. 30,324
Adjustments for Internal Service Funds are necessary to "close" those funds by charging
additional amount to participating business-type activities to completely cover the Internal
Service Funds' cost for the year. 2,174
Interest on long-term debt is recognized as it accrues, regardless of when it is due. ( 1,742)
Long-term liabilities, including bonds and notes payable, are not due and payable in the current
period and, therefore, are not reported in the governmental funds as follows:
Certificates of participation (115,624)
Bonds and notes payable (26,892)
Compensated absences (23,482)
Landfill closure/postclosure costs ( 4,151)

Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds to the
Government-Wide Statement of Activities - Governmental Activities
For the Year Ended June 30, 2013 (in thousands)
Net Change in fund balance - total governmental funds (page 49) $ 30,158
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the
statement of activities are different because:
Property tax and intergovernmental revenue in the statement of activities that do not provide
current financial resources are not reported as revenues in the funds. 2,301
Governmental funds report capital outlay as expenditures. These expenditures
have no effect on net position.
Capital outlay expenditures that have no effect on net position is reported in the following
functional categories:
Capital outlay $ 3,604
General government 1,538
Public protection 2,312
Public ways 14,488
Health and sanitation 114
Public assistance 4 2
Education --
Recreation and cultural services 2 3 22,121
In the statement of activities, the cost of capital assets is allocated over their estimated
useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. (16,595)
The net effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets
(i.e., sales, trade-ins, and donations) is to decrease net position. (2,467)
Bond proceeds are reported as financing sources in governmental funds and thus
contribute to the change in fund balance. In the statement of net position, however,
issuing debt increases long-term liabilities and does not affect the statement of activities.
Similarly, repayment of principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but
reduces the liability in the statement of net position.
Refunding certificates of participation issued (14,427)
Premium on refunded certificates of participation issued (1,418)
Payment to refunded fiscal agent 16,400
Debt principal payments 4,065
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current
financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in the
governmental funds as follows:
Change in compensated absences (167)
Change in accrued interest payable 135
Change in landfill closure/postclosure costs ( 73)
Change in OPEB (291)
Amortization of debt premiums, discounts and issuance costs ( 43)
Amortization of prepaid pension contributions 1,905
Internal service funds are used by the County to charge the cost of vehicle fleet management,
centralized reprographic services, comprehensive public works services, and operations of the
County's workers' compensation, protected self-insurance, unemployment, and dental insurance
programs to individual funds. The net revenue or expenditure effect of internal service funds
is reported with governmental activities. (1,407)
Adjustment necessary to close internal service funds activities. This is the current year excess of
revenues over expenses allocable to business-type activities 31
Change in net position of governmental activities (page 43) $ 40,228

COUNTY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2013
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. FINANCIAL REPORTING ENTITY
The County of San Luis Obispo (the County) was established by an act of the Legislature on February 18,
1850 as one of California’s original 27 Counties. The County is a political subdivision of the State of
California and may exercise the powers specified by the Constitution and laws of the State. The County
exercises its powers through an elected five member Board of Supervisors. The County provides various
services on a countywide basis including public protection, public ways and facilities, health and sanitation,
public assistance, education, recreational and cultural services.
The County reporting entity includes all significant organizations, departments, and agencies over which the
County is considered financially accountable. The component units discussed below are included in the
County’s reporting entity because of the significance of their operational and financial relationships with the
County. The accompanying financial statements present the financial position of the County and those
County-related entities that meet the criteria for component units established by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statements 14 and 61.
Blended Component Units
These component units are so intertwined with the County that they are, in substance, the same as the
County and, therefore, are blended and reported as if they were part of the County. Each of the following
entities’ governing bodies are substantively the same as the governing body of the County, are fiscally
accountable to the County, and have a significant relationship with the County, and therefore are included in
its government-wide, governmental fund and proprietary fund financial statements:
County Service Areas – County Service Areas have been established for the purpose of providing specific
services to distinct geographical areas within the County. These services include drainage and sewer
collections facilities maintenance, street lighting energy charges, centralized septic services, wastewater
disposal and treatment, and fire and emergency medical services in various unincorporated areas of the
county.
Flood Control and Water Conservation Districts – Flood control and water conservation districts have been
established for the purpose of providing specific flood and conservation services to distinct geographical
areas within the county. These services include weather and hydrological data collections services, delivery,
water treatment, and water distribution services, and the construction of the Lopez Dam Seismic
Remediation project.
San Luis Obispo County Financing Authority – The Authority was created to assist in the financing,
construction, and equipping of public facilities for one or both of the Authority’s members.
San Luis Obispo County Public Facilities Corporation – The PFC is a nonprofit public benefit corporation
organized to assist public agencies within the County of San Luis Obispo with the acquisition and
construction of various public facilities.
Separate financial statements or additional financial information for each of the component units may be
obtained from the Auditor-Controller at 1055 Monterey, Room D220, San Luis Obispo, CA 93408.
59
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Also included in the accompanying financial statements as investment trust funds are the assets of
numerous self-governed schools, special districts, and regional boards and authorities for which the County
Treasurer acts as custodian of those assets. The financial reporting for these governmental entities, which
are independent of the County, is limited to the total amount of cash and investments and the related
fiduciary responsibility of the County for disbursement of these assets. Activities of these entities are
administered by separate boards and are independent of the County Board of Supervisors. The County
Auditor-Controller makes disbursements upon the request of the entity’s officers. The County Board of
Supervisors has no effective authority to govern, manage, approve budgets, assume financial accountability,
establish revenue limits, nor to appropriate surplus funds available in these entities. Seven cities and
numerous self-governed special districts provide services to the residents of the county. The operations of
these entities have been excluded from the basic financial statements as each entity conducts its own day-
to-day operations and answers to its own governing board.
Discretely Presented Component Unit
First 5 San Luis Obispo County – First 5 was created in 1998 with the passage of Proposition 10, the
California Children and Families First Act. First 5’s mission is to allocate funds from the California Children
and Families Trust Fund and advocate for quality programs and services, supporting children prenatal to age
5, to ensure that every child is healthy and ready to learn in school. First 5 is governed by a nine-member
commission that includes public officials and community leaders from the fields of early childhood education,
health care, and family support. The County can influence the day-to-day operations and financial decisions
of First 5 as the County Board of Supervisors appoints all commission members. First 5 is reported as a
discretely presented component unit because its governing body is not the substantively the same as the
County’s governing body, and it does not provide services entirely or exclusively to the County.
B. GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Government-wide Financial Statements
The Government-wide financial statements consist of the statement of net position and the statement of
activities that report information about the County and its component units. 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. The statements distinguish between governmental and
business-type activities of the County. Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes,
intergovernmental revenues and other nonexchange revenues. Business-type activities are financed in
whole or in part by fees charged to external parties for goods or services.
The statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for the
different business-type activities of the County and for each function of the County’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. Internal activities and indirect expenses are consolidated in the
statement of activities. Examples of expenses that have been eliminated include the allocation of indirect
costs under the County-wide Cost Allocation Plan and internal payments for services provided between
departments.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) fees, fines and charges to customers or applicants for
goods or services offered by the programs, 2) operating grants and contributions that are restricted to
meeting the operational requirements of a particular program, and 3) capital grants and contributions
restricted to particular programs. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather
than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in
connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operation. The principal operating revenues of the
County enterprise funds (Airport, Nacimiento Water Contract, State Water Project, Lopez Flood Control
60
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Project, Los Osos Wastewater, and nonmajor enterprise) and of the government’s internal service funds are
charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service
funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All
revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements report detailed information about the County’s funds, including fiduciary funds
and blended component units. Separate statements are provided for each fund category – Governmental,
Proprietary, and Fiduciary even though the latter are excluded from the Government-wide financial
statements. The emphasis of the Governmental and Proprietary Fund financial statements is on major
individual funds. Each major fund is presented in a separate column. Nonmajor funds are aggregated and
presented in a single column. The internal service funds are presented in a single column on the face of the
proprietary fund statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, the County implemented the following Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) Statements:
GASB Statement No. 61, The Financial Reporting Entity: Omnibus an amendment of GASB
Statements No. 14 and No. 34. The requirements of this statement are effective for financial
statement periods beginning after June 15, 2012. GASB 61 augments the relevance of the financial
statements by improving guidance for including, presenting, and disclosing information about
component units and equity interest transactions of the County. It allows users of the financial
statements to better assess the accountability of elected officials by ensuring that the financial
reporting entity includes only organizations for which the elected officials are financially accountable
or that are determined by the government to be misleading to exclude.
GASB Statement No. 62, Codification of Accounting and Financial Reporting Guidance Contained in
Pre-November 30, 1989 FASB and AICPA Pronouncements. The requirements of this statement are
effective for financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2011. GASB 62 codifies all
sources of generally accepted accounting principles for state and local governments so that they
derive from a single source. GASB 62 modifies guidance as necessary to appropriately recognize the
governmental environment and the needs of governmental financial statement users.
GASB Statement No. 63, Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of
Resources, and Net Position. The requirements of this statement are effective for financial
statement periods beginning after December 15, 2011. GASB 63 provides financial reporting
guidance for deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources. Deferred outflows
and inflows occur when governments enter into transactions that result in the consumption or
acquisition of net assets in one period that are applicable to future periods. They are distinguished
from assets and liabilities. Consequently, the Statement of Net Assets is now referred to as the
Statement of Net Position. GASB 63 standardizes the presentation of deferred outflows and inflows
of resources and their effects on a government’s net position.
The County reports the following Major Governmental Funds:
The General Fund is the County’s primary operating fund. The General Fund is used to account for
all revenues and expenditures necessary to carry out the basic governmental activities of the County
that are not accounted for through other funds. For the County, the General Fund includes such
activities as public protection, public ways and facilities, health and sanitation, public assistance,
education, and recreational and cultural services.
61
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for the financial resources restricted for the acquisition
or construction of specific projects, or items other than those financed by proprietary funds.
The County reports the following Major Proprietary Funds:
The Airport Fund accounts for the maintenance, operations, and development of the County-owned
commercial service airports in San Luis Obispo and Oceano.
The Nacimiento Water Contract Fund accounts for the activities and delivery of water associated
with the Nacimiento water supply reservoir and the contract with Monterey County.
The State Water Project Fund accounts for revenues, expenses and net position relating to the
countywide taxpayers’ obligations associated with the State Water Project, which provides for the
delivery of state water into the County.
The Lopez Dam Flood Control Fund accounts for the maintenance, water treatment and water
distribution services of the Lopez Dam Flood Control Zone 3, which provides water to south San Luis
Obispo County, and the activities of the Lopez Dam Seismic Remediation Project.
The Los Osos Wastewater Fund accounts for the construction, operation and maintenance of the
wastewater treatment plant serving the community of Los Osos.
Additionally, the County reports on Internal Service Funds. Internal Service Funds are used to
account for the financing of goods or services provided by one department or agency to other
departments or agencies of the County or to other governments on a cost-reimbursement basis.
Internal Service Funds account for the activities of fleet operations, equipment maintenance
services, and self-insurance programs such as workers’ compensation, long-term disability, employee
benefits, and personal injury and property damage.
The County reports the following Fiduciary Funds:
The Pension Trust Fund accumulates contributions from the County, its employees, and earnings
from the fund’s investments. Disbursements are made from the fund for retirement, disability and
death benefits (based on a defined benefit formula) and administrative expenses. This fund includes
all assets of the San Luis Obispo County Pension Trust as of December 31, 2012.
The Investment Trust Funds account for the assets of legally separate entities that deposit cash with
the County Treasurer. These entities include school and community college districts, other special
districts governed by local boards, regional boards and authorities and pass through funds for tax
collections for cities. These funds represent the assets, primarily cash and investments, and the
related liability of the County to disburse these monies on demand. The County reports on 99
different Investment Trust Funds.
The Agency Funds account for the resources held by the County in a custodial capacity on behalf of
other agencies. The County reports on 137 different Agency Funds. These include accounts for
temporary holding of funds for the tax assessment areas created under the 1915 Improvement Act,
temporary clearing funds, and other temporary holding funds not classified in other agency
categories.
C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The Government-wide, Proprietary, and Fiduciary Fund financial statements are reported using the economic
resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, except that Agency Fund financial
statements have no measurement focus. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded
when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Nonexchange transactions, in
which the County gives (or receives) value without directly receiving (or giving) equal value in exchange,
62
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
include property, sales, and transient occupancy taxes, grants, entitlements, and donations. On an accrual
basis, revenues from property taxes are recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied.
Revenues from sales and occupancy taxes are recognized when the underlying transactions take place.
Revenues from grants and similar items are recognized as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the
provider have been satisfied.
Governmental Fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized as soon as
they become both measurable and available. The County considers all revenues in governmental funds to
be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of
the current period. For this purpose, the County considers property tax revenues and all other revenues to
be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. It is the County’s
policy to submit reimbursement and claim requests for federal and state grant revenues within 30 days of
the end of the program cycle, and payments are generally received within 90 days. Property taxes,
franchise taxes, licenses, and interest are considered to be susceptible to accrual. Expenditures generally
are recorded when the related liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service
expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are
recognized as expenditures only to the extent that payment is due. General capital assets acquisitions are
reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of general long-term debt and acquisitions under
capital leases are reported as other financing sources.
The County eliminates the effect of interfund activity from the Government-wide financial statements by
consolidating internal activities and indirect expenses in the statement of activities.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the County’s policy to use
restricted resources first, and then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
D. ASSETS, LIABILITIES, AND FUND EQUITY
Deposits and Investments
As required by Government Code Section 27130, a treasury oversight committee serves the County. The
committee consists of a representative appointed by the Board of Supervisors, the Auditor-Controller,
Superintendent of Schools, a representative from the County's school districts and community college, and
one member from the public at large. The committee meets annually and is subject to the California open
meeting statutes.
Cash balances of substantially all funds are pooled and invested by the County Treasurer for the purpose of
increasing earnings through investment activities. State statutes authorize the County to invest in
obligations of the U.S. Treasury, commercial paper, corporate bonds, repurchase agreements, and the State
Treasurer’s Investment Pool. In accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial
Reporting for Certain Investments and External Investment Pools, investments held by the County Treasurer
are stated at fair value at June 30, 2013. The fair value of pooled investments is determined annually and is
based on current market prices.
The County pool is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company
and does not issue separate investment reports. The County has not provided or obtained any legally
binding guarantees to support the value of the shares. Participants may withdraw up to the amortized cost
of their respective shares as displayed on the combined balance sheet. The share of the Treasurer's pool
related to involuntary participants is 99.9 percent.
63
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The County’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-
term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. All short-term
cash surpluses are maintained in the County Treasury cash and investments pool, the earnings from which
are allocated quarterly to each fund based on average daily cash balances.
Receivables and Payables
All trade and property tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. No
uncollectible allowance is recorded for enterprise special district receivables, which are primarily for water
service billings. These receivables are written off in the year they become uncollectible.
Property Tax
The County is responsible for the assessment, collection, and apportionment of property taxes for all taxing
jurisdictions within the County, including school, cities, and special districts. Property taxes, for which the
lien date is January 1, are payable in two equal installments, November 1 and February 1, and become
delinquent on December 10 and April 10, respectively. Property taxes receivable are recognized when
levied. Property taxes on the unsecured roll are due on the January 1 lien date and become delinquent on
August 31. The County is permitted by Article XIII-A of the State of California Constitution (known as
Proposition 13) to levy a maximum tax of $1.00 per $100.00 of full cash value. The bills are payable in equal
installments, November 1st and February 1st and become delinquent on December 10th and April 10th,
respectively. Property taxes are accounted for in the Unapportioned Property Tax and Interest Fund, an
Agency Fund, until apportionment and disbursement to the taxing jurisdictions. Property tax receivables are
recognized when the taxes are levied.
Beginning in fiscal year 1993-1994, the County of San Luis Obispo adopted the "Alternative Method of
Distribution of Tax Levies and Collections and of Tax Sale Proceeds" provided for in Revenue and Taxation
Code Sections 4701-4717, which is commonly known as the "Teeter Plan". The Teeter Plan has no impact
on tax rates or collection procedures. It merely changes the way the collections of delinquent taxes and
penalties are distributed among the taxing agencies. Those agencies participating in the Teeter Plan receive
100% of the secured property taxes billed each year without regard to delinquencies. The General Fund
covers the delinquent amount to all agencies and, in return, receives the delinquent taxes, penalties and
interest when collected. As a result of the Teeter Plan, secured property taxes receivable are recorded in the
General Fund only, and there is no allowance for uncollectible amounts. Penalties and interest are deposited
into the Tax Loss Reserve Fund. Once the Tax Loss Reserve Fund balance exceeds 25% of the secured
delinquent roll, the excess may be credited to the General Fund.
The Teeter Plan was amended beginning fiscal year 2001-2002 by removing unitary tax payments (including
PG&E), so that all agencies in the County will share in any delinquency that may occur.
Unsecured property is not part of the Teeter Plan. Unsecured property taxes receivable are accrued to
taxing agencies, net of the uncollectible amount which is estimated based on prior year collections.
Interfund Transactions
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of
the fiscal year are referred to as either “due to/from other funds” (i.e., the current portion of interfund
loans) or “advances to/from other funds” (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund loans). All other
outstanding balances between funds are reported as “due to/from other funds.” Any residual balances
outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the
Government-wide financial statements as “internal balances.”
64
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by nonspendable fund
balance in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not
expendable available financial resources.
Inventories and Prepaid Items
Inventories held by the General Fund, Public Works, Reprographics and the Garage Internal Service Funds
are carried at cost (first-in, first-out). The Internal Service Funds’ inventories are controlled by perpetual
inventory systems, and are adjusted as appropriate to reflect year-end physical inventory counts.
Governmental Funds (other than the General Fund) record inventory as expenditures when purchased.
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
Capital assets, which include land, structures and improvements, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g.,
roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type
activity columns in the Government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined as assets with an
initial individual cost greater than the capitalization threshold for the specified type of asset and an
estimated useful life beyond a single fiscal period. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated
historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market
value at the date of donation. General infrastructure assets acquired prior to July 1, 1980, are reported at
estimated historical cost using deflated replacement costs.
Normal maintenance and repairs are not capitalized, but are charged to operations when incurred.
Betterments or major improvements, which significantly increase values, change capacities, or extend useful
lives, are capitalized. Upon sale or retirement of capital assets, the cost and related accumulated
depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the
results of operations.
Capital outlays are recorded as expenditures in the General, Special Revenue, and Capital Projects Funds
and as capital assets in the Government-wide financial statements to the extent the County’s capitalization
thresholds are met. Interest incurred, during the construction phase, on financing capital assets of business-
type activities is reflected in the capitalized value of the asset constructed net of interest earned on the
invested proceeds over the same period. Amortization of assets acquired under capital leases is included in
depreciation and amortization. Facilities and improvements, infrastructure, and machinery and equipment of
the primary government, as well as the component units, are depreciated using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives.
The capitalization thresholds and estimated useful lives of specific asset types are as follows:
Asset Type Capitalization Threshold Estimated Useful Life
Land No threshold ---------------
Infrastructure $100,000 20 to 100 years
Structures & Improvements $25,000 15 to 50 years
Equipment $5,000 2 to 15 years
Capital Lease By asset type Lease term or useful life
Compensated Absences
The County’s policy is to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick leave
benefits. Each year-end, a liability is accrued for the balance of unpaid compensatory time off, sick leave,
and vacation earned.
65
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Accumulated benefits will be liquidated in future years as employees elect to use them. In the normal
course of business, all payments of these accumulated benefits will be funded from appropriations in the
year in which they are to be paid; therefore the total liability is recorded as long-term. A liability for these
amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee
designations and retirements.
Long-term Obligations
In the Government-wide financial statements, and in proprietary funds in the fund financial statements,
long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental
activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net position. Bond premiums and
discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective
interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well
as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other
financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while
discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld
from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance in classifications based primarily
on the extent to which the County is bound to honor the constraints on the specific purposes for which
amounts in the funds can be spent. The fund balance classifications used are nonspendable, restricted,
committed, assigned and unassigned (see Note 11 for a description of these categories).
In circumstances when an expenditure is made for a purpose for which amounts are available from multiple
fund balance classifications, fund balance is generally depleted in the order of restricted, committed,
assigned, and unassigned.
E. ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

DETAIL NOTES ON ALL FUNDS
2. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash in Treasury
Investments made by the Treasurer are regulated by the California Government Code and by the County's
Investment Policy (IP). The objectives of the policy in order of priority are safety and preservation of
capital, liquidity sufficient to meet scheduled cash flow needs, and then yield, subject to safety and liquidity,
while maintaining compliance with federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
The San Luis Obispo County Investment Pool is rated by Fitch Ratings, one of the Nationally Recognized
Statistical Rating Organizations. Fitch has consistently rated the County Pool with their highest rating since
FY 1994/95. The County Pool’s “AAA” rating reflects the “pool’s lowest vulnerability to losses as a result of
defaults in its portfolio and is based on the actual and prospective average credit quality of the pool’s
investments.” The County Pool’s “V1” volatility rating reflects the pool’s low market risk and capacity to
return stable principal value to meet anticipated cash flow requirements, even in adverse interest rate
environments. Effective February 10, 2010, Fitch eliminated the V1+ rating from its Fund Volatility Rating
scale and revised its highest rating to V1. On March 18, 2010, the County Pool’s volatility rating was revised
from “V1+” to “V1,” to reflect the new highest rating. Most recently on August 8, 2013, Fitch confirmed the
County Pool’s “AAA/V1” rating.
The County Treasury Oversight Committee (CTOC) was created by the Board of Supervisors' Resolution and
is formed by five members. The CTOC monitors and reviews quarterly, the management of public funds
maintained in the investment pool in accordance with the California Government Code. The CTOC and the
Board of Supervisors review and approve the IP annually. The County Treasurer prepares and submits a
comprehensive investment report to the members of the CTOC and the investment pool participants every
quarter. The report covers the type of investments in the pool, maturity dates, par value, actual costs and
fair value. California Government Code directs the CTOC to cause an annual IP compliance audit. A list of
providers for the annual compliance audit is specified in the Board Resolution which created the CTOC.
These providers are: County Auditor in conjunction with or in addition to work directed by California
Government Code; independent certified public accountants (CPAs) selected to review the County’s
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report; and independent CPAs as deemed appropriate. Gallina, LLP was
selected to perform the Annual Investment Program Compliance Audit for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2013. The results of these audits have been presented to the Board of Supervisors on a yearly
basis.
Under parameters established by the California Government Code, the County may purchase: obligations
issued by the United States Treasury; obligations, participations, or other instruments of or issued by a
federal agency or a United States government-sponsored enterprise; obligations of state and local agencies
of this state and any of the other 49 states; bankers’ acceptances; commercial paper; negotiable certificates
of deposit; repurchase agreements; medium-term corporate notes; as well as other investments established
by the California Government Code. The California Government Code prohibits investments in derivatives
which include inverse floaters, range notes, or mortgage-derived, interest strips and any security that could
result in zero interest accrual if held to maturity. While securities lending and reverse repurchase
agreements are considered permitted investments per California Government Code, the County IP prohibits
these types of investments.
The County maintains a combined pool with cash and investments which provide cash flow for the funding
needs of the County and local agencies required by law to keep funds in the Treasury.
67
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The combined pool’s investments have a carrying value that uses the amortized cost method and includes
accrued interest. This pool, which is available to all funds, has deposits and investments with a weighted-
average maturity of less than one year. Interest is apportioned to the separate funds based on the
individual fund's average daily balance.
Investments were authorized by the California Government Code and the County Treasurer's IP: Securities
were held in a customer-segregated safekeeping account during the fiscal year. Repurchase agreements
were collateralized 102% with government and agency securities in accordance with multi-party agreements
on file with the Treasurer. A Cash Statement and Asset List is requested monthly from the appropriate
institutions and verified against records maintained in the Treasury.
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 31 requires governmental external
investment pools to report certain investments at fair value in the financial statements and report the
change in the fair value of investments in the year in which the change occurred. In compliance with these
requirements, the fair value of the County's combined pool is determined annually and is based on current
market prices received from the securities custodian, and the California State Local Agency Investment Fund
(LAIF), except for instruments which are carried at amortized cost plus accrued interest. The County
Treasury has provided a fair value dollar factor of 1.000349217007 in the Quarterly Report of Investments
as of June 30, 2013, which can be used for financial reporting by the pool participants. The fair value of the
investments is the pool participant’s amount invested balance multiplied by the fair value dollar factor.
The County’s combined pool has invested in LAIF. This fund is not registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission as an investment company, but is required to invest according to California State
Code. Market valuation is conducted quarterly. LAIF provided a fair value dollar factor of 1.000273207 for
its portfolio as of June 30, 2013. The fair value of the investments in LAIF is the pool participant’s amount
invested balance multiplied by the fair value dollar factor. As of June 30, 2013, 1.96% of the LAIF pool
includes structured notes and asset-backed securities. The Local Investment Advisory Board, which consists
of five members as designated by statute, provides oversight for LAIF.
As of June 30, 2013, the County’s combined pool includes funds deposited in collateralized Public Investment
Money Market Accounts (PIMMAs), Certificates of Deposit placed through the Certificate of Deposit Account
Registry Service (CDARS), and a Federally Insured Cash Account (FICA). PIMMAs are interest-bearing active
bank accounts and by California Government Code (GC) §53631 et seq., are considered depository accounts,
not investments. PIMMAs are fully liquid and collateralized by eligible securities per GC 53651 et seq.
Deposits placed through CDARS as authorized by California GC §53635.8, are distributed into individual
Certificates of Deposit (CD) of less than $250,000 each that are fully FDIC insured, and placed through a
network participating bank that uses the CD Account Registry Service, a private entity that assists in the
placement of the individual CDs. FICA is similar to CDARS where a single large deposit is placed into
individual deposits of less than $250,000 with network banks. As a result, full FDIC insurance is maintained.
Unlike CDARS, FICAs are not term deposits, and the full balance is available at any time on demand. Even
though PIMMAs and FICAs are not investments by code, they are included in the County’s combined pool
and are treated internally as investments for tracking, management, and reporting purposes.
The table below identifies the investment types that are authorized for the County by the California
Government Code. The County’s combined pool is further restricted by both the County IP and the
Treasurer’s written policies and procedures to reduce exposure to investment risks. The County IP gives the
County Treasurer the authority to act in the best interest of the County in the face of changing market
conditions and circumstances by making written exceptions to the County IP and the Treasurer’s written
policies and procedures within the limits of the California Government Code and all relevant laws. As of
June 30, 2013, the table represents the County’s IP or where more restrictive, the Treasurer’s written
policies and procedures, that address interest risk, credit risk, and concentration of credit risk.

Harbor District, was approved by the County Treasurer in January 2013. The investment is an exception to the above restriction of one
(1) year as it has a maturity of five (5) years. However, it is within what is allowed by California Government Code.
Interest Rate Risk
In accordance with its investment policy, the County manages its exposure to declines in fair values by
structuring the portfolio so that securities mature to meet cash flow requirements for ongoing operations
and thereby avoiding the need to sell securities on the open market prior to maturity.
Custodial Credit Risk
The County minimizes this type of credit risk by pre-qualifying the custodial financial institution, and
requiring the custodian to hold securities in the County Treasurer's name.
69
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Credit Risk
The County minimizes its exposure to credit risk by pre-qualifying the financial institutions limiting
investments to the safest types of securities, diversifying the portfolio, and setting limits per issuer.
Concentration of Credit Risk
At June 30, 2013, the County did not have investments in corporate bonds, medium term notes, or money
market mutual funds. Investments in obligations of the U.S. government, U.S. government agencies or
government-sponsored enterprises are exempt from limitations set by GASB.
The following is a summary of the credit quality distribution and concentration of credit risk by investment

therefore are within the limits authorized in the Treasurer’s Investment Policy.
GASB Statement No. 40 requires that investments in single issuers exceeding 5% of the County’s pooled
investments be disclosed as concentrations of credit risk. As of the year ended June 30, 2013 no

County as Lessee
Operating Leases: The County has commitments under long-term real property operating lease agreements
for facilities used in operations. These leases do not meet any of the four criteria for capitalization set by
FASB 13. The County is the lessee under operating leases for real property used to house certain County
functions.
In addition to real property leases, the County has also entered into operating leases for equipment, of
which most are data processing and office equipment leases. Management expects that in the normal
course of business, leases that expire will be renewed or replaced by other leases. Commitments under the
operating lease agreements for equipment, as described above, are not material.
Rental payments for fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 totaled $3,547,609. The following rental costs
represent future minimum payments under leases that have remaining non-cancelable terms in excess of
one year as of June 30, 2013 for the next five years and for each five-year period thereafter (in thousands):

Liability $ 250,000 per occurrence $ 25,000,000
Workers' Compensation $ 250,000 per occurrence Statutory
Unemployment $ 583,782 maximum -----
Dental None–Funded by Employees -----

Obispo.
The estimated claims liability for the Protected Self Insurance Fund was recorded at a discounted 85%

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Description of Long-Term Lease Arrangements
The County formed the Public Facilities Corporation and the Financing Authority for the purpose of issuing
debt. On behalf of the County, these two entities issued all currently outstanding certificates of participation
and the Lopez Dam remediation general obligation bond. Therefore, the County makes semi-annual lease
payments in lieu of debt service to these entities from a variety of sources including State and Federal
revenues, penalty assessments, golf course fees, water contract payments, and property taxes. For lease
payment details, see above schedules for specific type of debt.
Description of Special Assessment Bonds
Special assessment debt has been issued to provide funds for the construction of streets, utility and water
delivery systems. These bonds will be repaid from amounts levied against the property owners benefited by
this construction.
The County acts in an agent capacity for the assessment districts. In the event that a deficiency exists
because of unpaid or delinquent special assessments at the time a debt service payment is due, the County
must provide resources to cover the deficiency until other resources, for example, foreclosure proceeds, are
received. Special assessment principal outstanding at June 30, 2013 totals $2,376 with interest rates from
3.5% to 6.85%.
Accrued Vacation and Sick Leave Pay and Compensatory Time Off
County employees have accumulated unpaid vested benefits for compensatory time off, sick leave and
vacation earned of $26,157 at June 30, 2013. The accumulated benefits will be liquidated in future years as
employees elect to use them. In the normal course of business, all payments of these accumulated benefits
will be funded from appropriations in the year in which they are to be paid.
Legal debt margin
State statutes limit the amount of general obligation debt a governmental entity may issue to 1.25% of its
net assessed valuation. The current debt limitation for the County is $522,454 with a margin of $512,564.
Rebatable Arbitrage Earnings
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 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. During the current year, the County performed calculations of excess investment
earnings and at June 30, 2013 had an arbitrage liability of $655,278.
Debt Refunding
On July 17, 2012, all the outstanding principal and interest due on the Certificates of Participation 2002
Series A were paid. Funding was provided by the issuance of the SLO County Financing Authority Lease
Revenue Refunding Bonds 2012 Series A. The aggregate difference between the 2002 Series A and the
2012 Series A was $3,187. Using the effective interest rate method, the refunding resulted in an economic
gain of $2,404.
11. NET POSITION/FUND BALANCES
The government-wide and business-type activities fund financial statements utilize a net position
presentation. Net position is categorized as invested capital assets (net of related debt), restricted and
unrestricted.

In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance in classifications based primarily
on the extent to which the County is bound to honor the constraints imposed on the use of resources
reported in the funds. In circumstances when an expenditure is made for a purpose for which amounts are
available from multiple fund balance classifications, fund balance is generally depleted in the order of
restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned.
As prescribed by GASB statement 54, the following classifications are used to identify the components of
fund balance:
Nonspendable Fund Balance – includes amounts that are (a) not in spendable form, or (b) legally or
contractually required to be maintained intact. The “not in spendable form” criterion includes items
that are not expected to be converted to cash, for example: inventories, prepaid amounts, and long-
term notes receivable.
Restricted Fund Balance – includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific purposes
stipulated by external resource providers, constitutionally or through enabling legislation.
Restrictions may effectively be changed or lifted only with the consent of the resource provider.
Committed Fund Balance – includes amounts that can only be used for the specific purposes
determined by formal action of the County’s highest level of decision-making authority. As
prescribed by the State of California County Budget Act, fund balance commitments are established,
modified or rescinded by resolution adopted by a four-fifths vote of the Board of Supervisors at
regular or special meetings. The general reserve, however, is only established, cancelled, increased
or decreased at the time of adopting the budget except in cases of legally declared emergency.
Assigned Fund Balance – comprises amounts intended to be used by the County for specific
purposes that are neither restricted nor committed. As a practice, for financial statement
presentation the County Auditor-Controller assigns non-restricted and non-committed fund balance
of the General Fund to its intended purpose. Assigned fund balance can be identified by
departments and the County Administrative Officer for specific uses during the County’s budgeting
process. Budgets requested by departments require approval by the County Board of Supervisors.
Unassigned Fund Balance – is the residual classification for the General Fund and includes all
amounts not contained in the other classifications. Unassigned amounts are technically available for
any purpose.

13. OTHER COMMITMENTS
In 1965, San Luis Obispo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (District), a blended
component unit of the County, began payments in accordance with a contract with the State Department of
Water Resources (DWR) for a water supply from the State Water Project. Estimated future principal
payments for the State Water Contract will total $28,897,726 over the next 22 years. The estimated
amounts vary by year. For example, the principal amount due in 2013 is $832,082 while $1,980,213 is due
in 2035. In 1992 the District entered Water Supply Contracts, of like terms, with various sub-contractors
which presently provide resources to cover approximately 85% of the capital costs. The contract with the
DWR expires in 2035, and during 2013 the State began formal contract extension negotiations with the
District and all of the other State Water Contractors. The negotiations are still in progress.
14. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The County is subject to various lawsuits, inverse condemnation cases, personnel actions, disputes over tax
assessments, and other actions incidental to the ordinary course of County operations. In the opinion of the
County Counsel, the total potential claims against the County not covered by insurance resulting from
litigation would not materially affect the financial statements of the County at June 30, 2013.
15. DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN
Plan Description
The County of San Luis Obispo (the “County”) contributes to the San Luis Obispo County Employees
Retirement Plan (the “Plan”), which is an independent single-employer, contributory defined benefit pension
plan for employees of the County of San Luis Obispo, employees of the Superior Court in San Luis Obispo
County, employees of the San Luis Obispo Local Agency Formation Commission, employees of the San Luis
Obispo Air Pollution Control District and employees of the San Luis Obispo County Pension Trust. The Plan
exists, operates and is constituted under the authority of Section 53215 of Section 17 of Article XVI of the
California Constitution and the Government Code Article 1.5 (Pension Trusts), of Chapter 2 (Officers and
Employees), of Part 1 (Powers and Duties Common to Cities, Counties and Other Agencies), of Division 2
(Cities, Counties and Other Agencies), of Title 5 (Local Agencies) of the California Government Code.
87
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Pursuant to the foregoing California Government Code provisions, the County of San Luis Obispo Board of
Supervisors established the San Luis Obispo County Pension Trust (the “Trust”) by the adoption of Chapter
2.56 of the San Luis Obispo County Code. Following the adoption of Chapter 2.56 of the County Code, the
Board of Supervisors adopted the By-Laws of the Pension Trust. The San Luis Obispo County Employees
Retirement Plan is part of those By-Laws. The County of San Luis Obispo Board of Supervisors may amend
the Plan’s provisions.
Participation in the Plan is mandatory for all regular employees. The Trust and the Plan are both
administered by the San Luis Obispo County Pension Trust Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”). Separate
stand-alone financial statements were issued for the Plan and are available at the County of San Luis Obispo
Auditor-Controller's office.
Benefit Provisions
Plan participants, upon attaining the normal retirement age of 55 for Safety employees and Probation
Officers and 60 for Miscellaneous employees, are entitled to annual retirement benefits as defined in the
Plan document. The applicable retirement formula, minimum retirement age, compensation base, post
retirement cost of living adjustment, cost of living adjustment carry over, and final compensation maximum
may differ depending upon the Plan provisions in effect at the member’s date of hire, the member’s
classification, and the member’s bargaining unit. The Plan permits early retirement for all employees at age
50 with 5 or more years of service credit. Participants receive their accumulated plan benefits as a life
annuity payable monthly upon retirement. In the event of total and permanent disability, participants, upon
satisfaction of membership service requirements and other applicable provisions of the Plan, receive
disability benefits as defined in the Plan document. The Plan provides for an Annual Cost of Living
Adjustment (COLA) based on the Consumer Price Index. The Plan also provides death benefits.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting - The Plan's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Plan and its
wholly owned subsidiary, Fiduciary Properties Incorporated, and are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting. Contributions from the County and the County's employees are recognized as revenue when
due, pursuant to formal commitments, as well as statutory or contractual requirements. Benefits and
refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Investment income
is recognized as earned by the Plan.
Investments in corporate notes, bonds, collateralized mortgage obligations, alternative investments, equities,
futures, real estate investment funds, equity real estate holdings, and other short-term cash investments are
reported at fair value. Securities traded on a national exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or
at year-end closing prices as quoted by an independent securities valuation company. Investments that do
not have an established market are reported at estimated fair value. The Plan uses the calendar year for
financial reporting purposes.
The County's contributions to the Plan are recognized when due. The County’s contributions are due at the
end of each pay period.
The Plan has elected to present the financial statements in accordance with Statement No. 25 of the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
There are no investments in loans or investments in leases with parties related to the pension plan.
Concentrations – As of December 31, 2012, the Plan held no investments of a single issuer comprising 5% or
more of net position.
Funding Policy – The Trustees establish and may amend the funding policy. Participants were required to
contribute to the Plan for the 2012 calendar year at rates ranging from 4.89% to 23.98% of includable
compensation as defined in the Plan document, depending upon the collective bargaining agreement under
which the participant is covered. Such contributions, together with the County's appropriations, are
88
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
currently invested in corporate notes, bonds, collateralized mortgage obligations, alternative investments,
equities, futures, real estate investment funds, equity real estate holdings, and other short-term cash
investments. The participants' accumulated contributions may be withdrawn at any time should the
participant leave the employment of the County prior to retirement.
The Trustees established the pension plan contribution rate requirement with the advice of their retained
actuary. There were no legal or contractual maximum contribution rates in effect during 2012. Periodic
employer contributions to the Plan were determined on an actuarial basis using the Entry Age Normal cost
method. This method is one of the actuarial methods authorized under GASB 27.
In 2003 the County issued a Pension Obligation Bond. The Entry Age Normal cost method permitted the
selection of either a 30-year or 40-year amortization period for such bonds. The Trustees chose a closed
amortization period of 30-years. As a result of the issuance of the Pension Obligation Bond by the County,
the scheduled increases in required contributions previously adopted by the Board of Trustees were
rescinded and, based upon the advice of the plan actuary, the rates charged to the County were established
at a range of 15.09% to 27.78% of payroll. Specific appropriation rates were adopted for each benefit group
at various times during 2012 as negotiations for changes to the Retirement Allowance formula were
concluded and implemented.
Total contributions and appropriations to the Plan in 2012 amounted to $55,945,080. Of this total,
$30,942,038 was regular Employer appropriations. Employee contributions amounted to $25,003,042. The
Employee contributions did not include Employee Additional Voluntary Contributions of $107,470 and County
Additional for Employee Contributions of $96,653. The contributed amounts were actuarially determined as
described above and were based on an actuarial valuation report as of December 31, 2012.
Annual Pension Cost and Net Pension Asset
The County's annual pension cost and prepaid pension asset, computed in accordance with GASB 27,
Accounting for Pensions by State and Local Governmental Employers, for the year ended June 30, 2013,
(based on an actuarial valuation report as of December 31, 2012) were as follows (in thousands):
Amount
Annual Required Contribution (ARC) $ 31,123
Interest on beginning net pension asset (9,658)
Adjustment to the ARC 7,571
Annual Pension Cost (APC) 29,036
Employer contributions made 30,941
Increase (decrease) in net pension asset 1,905
Net pension asset / (obligation), beginning of year 133,214
Net pension asset / (obligation), end of year $ 135,119
The annual pension cost and net pension asset were based on an actuarial valuation report as of December
31, 2012. The actuarial values of assets were determined on a market related blend basis, with each years’
gains and losses smoothed over a five year period for all years except 2008. The loss in 2008 was smoothed
over a ten year period.
The net position held in trust for pension benefits are allocated among various reserves. For the year ended
December 31, 2012, these reserves were generally credited with interest at the rate of 7.25%. In addition,
any additional employee or employer contributions, as well as interest credited to these additional
contributions, earned interest at the rate of 2.80%. Any interest or dividends earned in excess of the
amount required to be credited to the various reserves is accumulated in the contingency reserve account.

value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits over
time.
Actuarial calculations are based on the benefits provided under the terms of the substantive plan in effect at
the time of each valuation and on the pattern of cost sharing between the employers and plan members to
that point. The projection of benefits for financial reporting does not explicitly incorporate the potential
effect of legal or contractual funding limitations on the pattern of cost sharing between the employer and the
future plan members to that point in time.
Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term perspective. Actuarial methods and assumptions used include
techniques to reduce short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets.
Actuarial valuations involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the
probability of events far into the future. Actuarially determined amounts are subject to continual revision as
results are compared to past expectations and new estimates are made about the future.
Latest Actuarial Valuation Methods and Assumptions
Contributions were made in accordance with actuarially determined requirements. A variety of significant
actuarial assumptions are used to determine the contributions required. These assumptions are summarized
below:

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Valuation Date: December 31, 2012 (January 1, 2013)
Actuarial Cost Method Entry Age Normal
Amortization Method 30 years declining, Closed Method
Remaining Amortization Period 27 years
Asset Valuation Method Market Related Blend, Five-year smoothing for all years
except 2008, which was smoothed over 10 years
Actuarial Assumptions:
Investment Rate of Return 7.25% effective annual interest rate
Inflation Rate Assumption 2.75% per year
Base Annual Rate of Compensation Increase 3.25% (including inflation)
Payroll Growth Rate 3.75% per year
Cost-of-Living Adjustments 2.75% for Tier 1/ 2.00% for Tier 2
Amortization of Unfunded Actuarial Liabilities is done as a level percent of payroll over 27 years (28 years
was used in the previous valuation) for funding computation.

the Financial Statements presents multi-year trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan
assets is increasing or decreasing relative to the actuarial accrued liability for benefits over time.
16. LANDFILL POSTCLOSURE CARE COSTS
The Los Osos Landfill is a closed facility under the responsibility of the County. State and federal laws and
regulations require the County of San Luis Obispo to perform various maintenance and monitoring activities
at the site. By agreement with the land owner, the County assumed responsibility for all closure and
postclosure costs when the facility stopped accepting waste. As of this date, the landfill closure is complete
and only postclosure costs remain.
The remaining estimated liability for landfill postclosure cost as of June 30, 2013 is $4,151,279 (in 2013
dollars). Of this $3,130,610 is for the Maintenance Cost and $1,020,669 is the Corrective Action Cost. The
cost estimates were provided by a licensed professional geologist in the Post Closure Maintenance Plan
dated May 8, 2012 and the Engineers Estimate of Corrective Action for a Foreseeable Release dated
March 23, 2011. Both reports are required to be updated every five years. However, the actual cost of
postclosure care may be higher (or lower) due to inflation, changes in technology, or changes in landfill laws
and regulations. Therefore, the cost estimate will be reviewed and adjusted as needed for changes in these
factors.
17. POST EMPLOYMENT HEALTHCARE BENEFITS
Plan Description and Benefits
The County administers a single-employer defined postemployment benefit (OPEB) plan. Employees retiring
from the County with at least 50 years of age and 5 years of service may continue to purchase healthcare
coverage, if they select one of the plans offered under the County’s contract with the state’s California Public
Employee Retirement System (CalPERS.) The County assists eligible retirees by paying a portion of their
premiums for medical care.
In April 2010 the County established an irrevocable trust with the California Employer’s Retiree Benefit Trust
(CERBT) to prefund the future cost of retiree health insurance benefits. The CERBT’s administrator,
CalPERS, issues a publicly available financial report consisting of financial statements and required
supplementary information for the CERBT in aggregate. The report may be obtained by writing to CalPERS,
91
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Lincoln Plaza North, 400 Q Street, Sacramento, CA 95811. CalPERS does not provide a separate, audited
GAAP-basis postemployment benefit plan report for the County’s discrete information.
Funding Policy
The CalPERS contract requires that the County contribute certain minimum amounts for each retiree’s health
insurance. If the County selected another provider for health insurance coverage these minimum amounts
might not apply. However, the County has been using CalPERS for medical coverage since 1990, and
currently has not expressed intent to change providers. The amounts the County actually contributes
depend on bargaining unit and for calendar year 2012 ranged from $112 to $139 per month. The subsidy is
adjusted annually to reflect changes in the medical component of the Consumer Price Index.
Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Asset
The County’s annual Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) cost is equal to the (a) annual required
contribution (ARC) less (b) one year’s interest on the beginning balance of the net OPEB asset plus/minus
(c) any adjustment to the ARC. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is
projected to cover the normal cost of each year and any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess)
amortized over a thirty year open period. The ARC of $1,439 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013
includes the normal cost for current active employees of $706 and a component for amortization of the total
unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) of $734. The following table shows the components of the Net
OPEB Asset as of June 30, 2013:
Annual required contribution (ARC) $1,439
Interest on prior year net OPEB asset (139)
Adjustment to ARC 528
Annual OPEB Cost 1,828
Contributions made 1,537
Increase (decrease) in net OPEB obligation 291
Net OPEB obligation (asset) – beginning of year (1,830)
Net OPEB obligation (asset) – end of year ($1,539)
The County’s annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan, and the Net
OPEB Obligation (Asset) for the fiscal year ended 2013 and the two preceding years are as follows:
Fiscal Annual Percent of Net OPEB
Year OPEB OPEB Cost Obligation
Ended Cost Contributions Contributed (Asset)
2011 $1,645 $1,747 106% ($1,995)
2012 $1,863 $1,698 91% ($1,830)
2013 $1,868 $1,537 84% ($1,539)
Funded Status and Funding Progress
The funded status of the OPEB plan as of June 30, 2013 (based on the County’s June 30, 2011 actuarial
valuation) is as follows:
Actuarially accrued liability $21,185
Actuarial value of plan assets (8,775)
Unfunded actuarially accrued liability $12,410
Funded ratio (actuarial value of plan
assets/AAL) 41.42%
Covered payroll (active plan members) $152,893
UAAL as a percentage of covered payroll 8.12%
92
NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as
understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time
of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the 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 value of assets,
consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.
In the County’s June 30, 2011 actuarial valuation the Entry Age Normal, Level Percent of Pay actuarial cost
method was used. The actuarial assumptions included a 7.61% investment rate of return, an inflation rate
of 3.25% per year, and assumed future medical inflation of 5% graded down to 4% beginning 2014. The
OPEB plan’s unfunded actuarial liability is being amortized by level percent of payroll contributions over 28
years.

1. BUDGETARY BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
A. BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING
In accordance with the provisions of Sections 29000 through 29144 inclusive of the California Government Code
and other statutory provisions, commonly known as the County Budget Act, the County prepares and legally
adopts a final budget on or before August 30th for each fiscal year. The County operation, commencing July 1st,
is governed by the proposed budget, adopted by the Board of Supervisors, in June of the prior year unless the
final budget is adopted before June 30.
After the budget is approved, the appropriations can be added to, subtracted from, or changed only by Board
resolution. All such changes must be within the revenues and reserves estimated as available in the final budget
or within revised revenue estimates as approved by the Board. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, the
Board of Supervisors approved all necessary supplemental appropriations. Generally, the effects of the
supplemental appropriations are to increase the budget for cost of living adjustments and new programs and
grants financed by other governmental agencies.
An operating budget is adopted each fiscal year for Governmental Funds on a basis consistent with generally
accepted accounting principles. Additionally, encumbrance accounting is utilized to assure effective budgetary
control. Encumbrances outstanding at year end represent the estimated amount of the expenditures ultimately
to result if the unperformed contracts in process at year end are completed or purchase commitments satisfied.
Such year end encumbrances are reported as reservations of fund balances and do not constitute expenditures
or liabilities because the commitments will be honored during the subsequent year and included in the
subsequent year's budget. Unencumbered appropriations lapse at year end.
All Governmental, Enterprise, and Internal Service Funds that are under the control of the Board of Supervisors,
have legally adopted annual budgets except for the Public Facilities Corporation debt service fund. Although the
Enterprise and Internal Service Funds have adopted budgets, there is no appropriation of expenditures and these
budgets only serve as spending plans for the year.
The legal level of budgetary control (the level on which expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations) is at
the department/budget unit and object level except for capital assets, which are controlled at the sub-object
level. Object levels of expenditures are as follows: salaries and benefits, services and supplies, other charges,
capital assets, and contingencies. Sub-object levels of expenditures for capital assets are land, structures and
improvements, and equipment.
BUDGETARY EXPENDITURES IN EXCESS OF APPROPRIATION
During the current fiscal year, no governmental funds had excess expenditures over the related appropriations at
the legal level of budgetary control.

FIDUCIARY FUNDS
AGENCY FUNDS:
These funds account for assets held by the County as an agent for various local governments.
The County has the following types of Agency Funds:
1915 Act
Accounts for temporary holding of funds for tax assessment areas created under the 1915
Improvement Act.
Clearing Funds
Serve as a temporary holding fund for subsequent disposition to an outside agency or taxing authority.
Other Funds
Account for temporary holding of funds that are not specifically classified in other agency categories.
INVESTMENT TRUST FUNDS
These funds are used by the County to account for the assets of legally separate entities who deposit
cash with the County Treasurer. These include school and community college districts, other special
districts governed by local boards, regional boards and authorities, courts and pass through funds for
tax collections for cities. These funds represent the assets, primarily cash and investments, and the
related liability of the County to disburse these monies on demand. The County combines Investment
Trust Funds into four reporting types because of their similar nature: School Districts (40 funds),
Special Districts (32 funds), Courts (6 funds), and Other Local Boards (19 funds).

Total Net Assessed Value Increase from Prior Year
Percentage Increase from Prior Year
for Fiscal Year Ended June 30
*Due to Article XIII‐A,added to the California Constitution by Proposition 13 in 1978, the County does
not track the estimated actual value of all county properties. Proposition 13 fixed the base for
valuation of real property at the full cash value which appeared on the Assessor's 1975‐76
assessment roll. Thereafter, full cash value can be increased to reflect: (1) annual inflation up to two
percent; (2) current market value at time of ownership change; and (3) market value for new
construction. As a result, similar properties can have substantially different assessed values based
on the date of purchase.
