Draft MSR and SOI Update
Municipal Service Review
1. MUNICIPAL SERVICE REVIEW
FRESNO LAFCO MSR POLICY
The Local Agency Formation Commission (“LAFCo”) is charged with determining and updating the spheres
of influence (“SOI”) for local agencies (special districts and cities) within the County of Fresno. SOIs are
planning tools used to provide guidance for individual boundary change proposals. They discourage
duplication of services by local agencies, identify the need for specific reorganization studies, and provide
the basis for recommendations to local agencies for potential government reorganizations. Every
determination made by LAFCo must be consistent with the SOI for that local agency.
This Municipal Service Review (“MSR”) has been prepared pursuant to the Commission’s MSR program
and presents data and analysis in support of the Commission’s determinations pursuant to Government
Code sections 56425 and 56430, to evaluate the District’s services, service policies, and financial practices
in place to provide services in its existing SOI.
An MSR is required to prepare or update a local agency’s sphere of influence. While the Commission is
not required by law to make any changes to SOI, the Commission may, at its discretion, opt to reaffirm,
expand, or shrink an SOI, or approve, deny, or approve with conditions any changes of organization or
reorganization impacting the governmental agency as a result of the information gathered during the MSR
update process.
In accordance with GC section 56066, Fresno County is the principal county for Del Rey CSD. Therefore,
Fresno LAFCo is responsible for updating the SOI for the District consistent with GC section 56425.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 (“CKH”) directs LAFCo to
comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). An MSR gathers data to present an
independent assessment of services provided within a defined geographic area in the County and provides
a foundation that may support future LAFCo actions. Therefore, an MSR is exempted under CEQA Statute
and Guidelines section 15306.

GROWTH AND POPULATION PROJECTIONS
Del Rey is one of several unincorporated communities within Fresno County, located midway between
the Cities of Sanger and Parlier. Land uses in the District are regulated by the County of Fresno for the
unincorporated land within the District and the Fresno County General Plan Land Use Element designates
majority of the District’s territory for urban density areas, commercial facilities, and agricultural use.
The District’s Community Plan was prepared in January 2008. The focus of the District’s Community Plan
is to provide community development designed to accommodate the growth of the twenty-year period
between 2007 and 2027. The Community Plan represents an agreement on the fundamental values and
a vision that is shared by the residents and the business community of Del Rey and the surrounding area
of interest. Its purpose is to provide decision makers and staff with direction for confronting present
issues, as an aid in coordinating planning issues with other governmental agencies, and for navigating
future growth.
The unincorporated community of Del Rey lies in the San Joaquin Valley’s east-side region. Located in
Fresno County, Del Rey is seven miles east of Highway 99 and five miles south of Highway 180. Del Rey
Avenue runs north and south through the District. Del Rey has experienced a population decline over the
last decade. According to the 2020 U.S. Census, the community’s population is 1,358, which was down
from 1,639 at the 2010 Census and up from 950 at the 2000 Census. The previous District’s Community
Plan projects that the area within the District’s planned SOI will accommodate approximately 4,254
residents by the year 2033.
According to the District’s Community Plan, the District’s planning area has a total area of 345 acres, and
contains a mixture of residential, agricultural, commercial, public and industrial land use. This size
corresponds to the proposed Sphere of Influence (SOI) limits. Of the 345 acres of planning area, the
existing District service area is 278 acres, and the existing SOI is 77 acres.
SPHERE OF INFLUENCE
Del Rey’s Sphere of Influence (SOI) was last updated by Fresno LAFCO in 2008. The current SOI is
coterminous with the District’s boundary. The District’s current SOI encompasses approximately 278
acres. Del Rey CSD depicts planned land uses within the 345 acres comprising its future SOI boundary. In
Del Rey CSD, land use is primarily centered around agriculture. The Residential zones feature single-family
homes, while commercial areas include local retail and service businesses. The industrial spaces support
agricultural processing and related activities. Public facilities encompass schools, parks, and community
centers, and transportation infrastructure ensures connectivity.
Del Rey CSD Land Use Distribution
Land Use Existing Total Acreage Proposed Total Acreage Total Acreage
Residential 84.4 acres 47 acres 131.4 acres
Commercial 5.50 acres 10 acres 15.50 acres
Industrial 140.70 acres 0 140.70 acres
Public Facilities 46.70 acres 20 acres 66.70 acres
Total 277.2 acres 77 acres 344.2 acres

Del Rey Community Services District
Draft MSR and SOI Update
Authorized District Services
To expand industrial and residential development within Del Rey, it is recommended that the 77 acres
around the existing District boundary be considered for inclusion in the SOI. This is consistent with the
Del Rey Community Plan prepared in January 2008.
The Del Rey Community Service District’s infrastructure is sufficient to provide the existing residents with
required services. There is the potential for growth in the District if Union Community is built and annexed
into the District. Future and planned development will incur the total costs for the establishment of
necessary infrastructure.
LAND USE ELEMENT
The Land Use Element describes future land use in the community and includes goals, objectives and
policies and standards that will guide such development. The Land Use Element is the heart of the
Community Plan Update. The proposed Land Use Map (Figure 2-1) shows the proposed location, extent
and intensity of land uses. The following land use categories are proposed: Public Lands and Open Space;
Medium Density Residential (2.8 – 5.8 dwelling units per net acre); Medium High Density Residential (5.8
to 14.5 dwelling units per net acre); Central Business Commercial and Service Commercial.
DISADVANTAGED UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITIES
The Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 (“CKH”) requires LAFCo to
make determinations regarding disadvantaged unincorporated communities (“DUCs”) when considering
a change of organization, reorganization, SOI expansion, and when conducting municipal service reviews.
For any updates to a SOI of a local agency (city or special district) that provides public facilities or services
related to sewer, municipal and industrial water, or fire protection, the Commission shall consider and
prepare written determinations regarding the present and planned capacity of public facilities and
adequacy of public services, and infrastructure needs or deficiencies for any DUC within or contiguous to
the SOI of a city or special district.
GC section 56033.5 defines a DUC as: i) all or a portion of a “disadvantaged community” as defined by
section 79505.5 of the Water Code (community with an annual median household income (“MHI”) that is
less than 80 percent of the statewide annual median household income); and a status of ii) “inhabited
territory” as defined by GC section 56046 (12 or more registered voters), or as determined by Commission
policy. Fresno LAFCo policy further refines the definition of a DUC as having at least 15 dwelling units at a
density not less than one unit per acre.
In 2015, the Fresno LAFCo adopted a DUC database management and implementation guidelines (“DUC
database”) to fulfill its responsibility to periodically identify DUCs pursuant to Senate Bill 244 (Wolk). The
DUC database established a system to identify, record, and track DUC locations within Fresno County
using Geographic Information Systems (“GIS”).
GIS files are derived from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (“ACS”) compiled for the
five-year period 2016-2020 to identify the demographic composition for the various census geographies.
Although the ACS provides single-year estimates, the five-year estimate between years 2018-2022 provide
more precise data and mapping information for analyzing small populations. The five-year reports are the
most reliable form of information generated by the U.S. Census Bureau.21
8
Del Rey Community Services District
Draft MSR and SOI Update
Authorized District Services
The statewide MHI reported for years 2018 through 2022 was $95,521. Hence, the calculated threshold
for a DUC is any geographic unit with a reported MHI that is less than $48,897. Del Rey’s Median
Household Income is approximately $48,857 as per 2022 American Community Survey 5- year estimates.
The census block group data was utilized to provide the economic and population backgrounds for this
section of the MSR.
A large portion of the District is located within census geographic units that exceeded the threshold for
Disadvantaged Communities as defined by California Water Code section 79505.5. Based Fresno LAFCo’s
updated DUC database, the District does not contain any DUCs.

3. DISTRICT INFRASTRUCTURE
WATER INFRASTRUCTURE
The community is located within the boundaries of the Consolidated Irrigation District (CID). Two branches
of the Garfield irrigation ditch run through Del Rey’s Community Plan boundaries. These ditches carry
water from the Kings River and provide irrigation to surrounding cropland. Del Rey is located in the Kings
sub-basin of the San Joaquin Valley groundwater basin in the Tulare Lake hydrologic region. The
groundwater is relatively free of contaminants and is used by residential, commercial, and industrial
customers. Groundwater provides all the potable water for the community. The Del Rey Community
Services District (District) owns and operates the water system that provides water service to residential,
commercial, and industrial customers in the District. The District operates four wells to supply water to
the community.

DISTRICT WELLS
The District's distribution system consists of water mains ranging in size from 6 to 10 inches. The District's
water system is supplied from four active wells. The District extracts groundwater from four (4) active
wells, Well Nos. 04, 05, 06, and 07. The District’s existing well capacities range from 700 to 1,400 gallons
per minute (gpm), with a total combined capacity of approximately 3,900 gpm. The typical life expectancy
of a groundwater well is around 50 to 80 years, depending on factors like water quality, construction,
maintenance, and the condition of the surrounding aquifer. Regular inspections, proper sealing, and
ensuring the well is not over-pumped can help extend its lifespan.
The locations of the District's active wells are shown in the figure below. All active wells are operated
automatically by pressure switches located on adjacent hydropneumatic tanks at the wells. The pressure
settings for "on" and "off' are varied on a seasonal basis to allow different wells to be lead or lag.
DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
The District’s water distribution system consists of a network of water lines located throughout the
community. Currently, there are approximately 349 connections in the District’s water system, which
includes single family and multi‐family residential, commercial, industrial, and landscape irrigation
connections. Water lines within the system range in diameter from 6 to 10‐inches. The water mains are
usually placed in a grid pattern with 10‐inch mains every half mile and 8‐inch mains at the quarter mile
locations. Depending on the number of units served, the intervening mains are either 6 or 8‐inches in

WASTEWATER INFRASTRUCTURE
The District’s sewer collection system consists of approximately 3.7 miles of 6- through 15-inch-diameter
sewers. The backbone of the system consists of trunk and interceptor sewers, generally 10 inches in
diameter and larger. The trunk and interceptor sewers convey the wastewater generated by the District’s
customers to the WWTP. The District currently serves a total of 320 sewer connections. Influent
wastewater is comprised mainly of domestic wastewater from residential and commercial properties. The
WWTP receives wastewater flows from industrial users. The breakdown of these connections by service
type is provided in Table 3-3.

Total 320
The District’s existing sewer collection system consists of a network of 6 and 8-inch diameter “collection”
lines that connect to larger “mains” that range from 10 to 15-inches in diameter. Wastewater from most
of Del Rey flows into a 12-inch line that runs along S Del Rey to POM Wonderful and then to a 15-inch
trunk line that runs along POM Wonderful to the WWTP. Most of the sewer pipes of the 4.58-mile-long
collection system are made of Vitrified Clay, Polyvinyl Chloride, or Asbestos Cement. It is unknown when
the pipes were installed but the sewer system is believed to be 50 years old. The District’s sewer collection
system operates with two lift stations one is located at the intersection of Jefferson Ave and Autumn. This
facility currently receives flows from the areas to the south and east of the lift station and discharges into
the S Del Rey line. The other lift station is located at the WWTP. Table 4-1 provides a summary of the
existing sewer pipelines within the District’s collection system.

4. DISTRICT FINANCES
This section of the MSR analyzes financial information provided by the District to determine the District’s
revenue and financial systems in place to provide services to its constituents. The analysis is based on
available financial data, adopted budget for Fiscal Year ("FY") 2022-2023, the audited financial statement
for year ending June 30, 2023.
The District acquires revenue from non-enterprise services, receiving a substantial amount of its support
as property tax revenue. During the year ending June 30, 2023, property tax and assessments represent
94% of total revenue. However, property tax-based revenue is not sufficient to fund the District’s
operation and capital improvement costs. The District therefore relies on revenue from user fees, facility
rental fees and services, grants, contributions, impact fees, to minimize the difference between revenue
and expenditure. The District’s revenues come primarily from user charges for water and sewer services
provided. The District recently increased water and sewer rates to ensure the long-term feasibility of the
District’s infrastructure.
The District regularly monitors grant opportunities and engages potential stakeholders and organizations
to develop a strategic collaborative approach to pursue available grant funds. For the 2022-23 fiscal year,
the District secured allocations from Fresno County ARPA, Fresno County CDBG, Small Community
Drought Relief, and Clean Water Small Community Grant Program.
1996 SEWER REVENUE BONDS
In 1996 the District issued Sewer Bonds for $932,000 and these bonds combined with a government grant
of $1,222,600 were used to finance construction of a domestic wastewater treatment plant. The balance
remaining is approximately $494,900 as of June 30, 2023.
STATE WATER LOAN
In 2005 the District obtained a loan from the State of California under the safe drinking water program.
The balance remaining is approximately $71,825 as of June 30, 2023.
ADOPTED BUDGET
Consistent with policy, the District adopts a preliminary budget on or before July 1st which includes
anticipated revenue and expenditures for the forthcoming fiscal year (FY) from July 1st to June 30th of
each year. The final budget is adopted during a duly noticed public hearing on or before August 30th each
fiscal year after making any changes to the preliminary budget. The District accounts for various revenues
and expenditures in spreadsheet format.
This fiscal year, District staff intends to provide its board members with a mid-year report to monitor the
District’s financial trend throughout the year. The budget may be revised by District board members
during the year to consider unanticipated income deficits and/or expenditures. For the preparation of this
MSR, the District provided LAFCo with adopted budgets from FY 2019-20, FY 2020-21, FY 2021-22, FY
2022-23.

AUDITOR’S REPORT
The District provided LAFCo a copy of its independent auditor’s report for the FY ending June 30, 2022.
The District’s financial audit was reviewed to determine the District’s fiscal status, assess financial
practices, and review pertinent management findings. The District General Manager plans to follow up
with the auditor and Board of Directors to maintain transparency.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE DISTRICT'S FUNDS
The District utilizes fund accounting to maintain compliance with financial regulations. This analysis
focuses on General Funds, Capital Projects Funds, and Debt Service Funds.
1. General Funds: The General Funds provide essential insights into the District's operational
financing. As of June 30, 2022, the proprietary funds reported a combined ending fund balance of
$13,028,894, marking an increase of $432,388 from the previous year. Of this amount, $1,015,529
remains unrestricted and available for discretionary spending, which is vital for assessing the
District's short-term financial health and operational flexibility.
2. Capital Projects Funds: The District’s investment in capital assets for its business-type activities,
as of June 30, 2022, stands at $4,162,041, net of depreciation. This includes investments in land,
buildings, machinery, and vehicles, which are crucial for ongoing capital projects.
3. Debt Service Funds: Regarding debt administration, the District's long-term obligations totaled
$600,471 as of June 30, 2022. Out of this total, $33,476 is due within the current fiscal year, while
the remaining amount, classified as deferred liabilities, will be payable over the next 14 years.
4. Economic Factors and Next Year's Budgets and Rates: For the year ending June 30, 2022, the
budget anticipates a surplus of $59,038, despite a projected revenue decline of $78,274 compared
to the previous year. While expenses are expected to decrease by $25,830, charges for services
are projected to drop by $285,484. Conversely, non-operating revenue is expected to increase by
$25,000. Transfers from the water remediation fund are anticipated to decline by $140,000.
Salary and benefits are projected to decrease by $5,284, while services and supplies may rise by
$64,783.
User rates are not expected to increase during the year ending June 30, 2022.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR SHARED FACILITIES
The District does not share any facilities.
GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY
This section of the MSR considers various topics, such as compliance with state disclosure laws, the Ralph
M. Brown Act, public participation, i.e. open meetings, accessible staff, election processes, and the
agency’s governing structure. Additionally, this considers the agency’s level of participation with the
Commission's MSR program.
Accountability for community service needs, including governmental structure and operational
efficiencies is evaluated as part of the MSR Program to encourage the orderly formation of local
government agencies, create logical boundaries, and promote the efficient delivery of services. This MSR
is an informational document that will be used by LAFCo, other local agencies, and the public at large to
examine the government structure of the District.
The District is an independent special district with a separate board of directors, and functions
independently from the County of Fresno. The District is not governed by other legislative bodies, neither
a city council nor a county board of supervisors.
The District operates under the authority granted by the California Government Code Section 61000 et
seq. The existing structure of the District as a community service district is sufficient to allow the District
to continue service provision in the foreseeable future. There are no legal or administrative limitations on
the District that would affect the provision of service in the future. Therefore, a reorganization of the
current government structure is not likely to significantly improve services. The current government
structure can provide adequate service within district boundaries. The District is run by a five-member
Board of Directors. Each member has a four-year term. The County and the District have a good working
relationship.

Del Rey Community Services District
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the business-type activities and each major fund
of the Del Rey Community Services District (District) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the
related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District’s financial statements as
listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective
financial position of the business-type activities and each major fund of the District as of June 30, 2023, and
the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
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. Our responsibilities under those standards are further
described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.
We are required to be independent of Del Rey Community Services District and to meet our other ethical
responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that
the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management 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, and for 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.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or
events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Del Rey Community Services District’s
ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available
to be issued.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not
a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and
Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not
2
detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud
may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate,
they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing
Standards, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud
or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Del Rey Community Services District’s internal control. Accordingly, no such
opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that
raise substantial doubt about Del Rey Community Services District’s ability to continue as a going
concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters
that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management’s
Discussion and Analysis on pages 5-8, and the budgetary comparison schedule on pages 22-23, be presented
to supplement the financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the financial statements, is
required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of
financial reporting for placing the 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 financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained
during our audit of the 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 that collectively comprise the
District’s basic financial statements. The Assessed Valuation of District, Insurance Coverage, Water and
Sewer Capacity (Connection) Fees, and Annual Water & Sewer Capacity Fee Deposit Report, are presented
for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The Assessed
Valuation of District Insurance Coverage, Water and Sewer Capacity (Connection) Fees, and Annual Water
& Sewer Capacity Fee Deposit Report were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting
and other records used to prepare the financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the
3
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the 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 Assessed Valuation of District, Insurance Coverage, Water and Sewer Capacity
(Connection) Fees, and Annual Water & Sewer Capacity Fee Deposit Report are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated February 12, 2024,
on our consideration of Del Rey Community Services District’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 solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control
over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the
effectiveness of Del Rey Community Services District’s 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 Del Rey Community Services District’s internal control over financial reporting
and compliance.

DEL REY COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
JUNE 30, 2023
As management of Del Rey Community Services District, we offer readers of the District's financial statements
this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the District for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2023. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with information that is
included within the financial statements.
Financial Highlights
Total assets and deferred outflows of resources of the District exceeded its total liabilities and deferred
inflows of resources as of June 30, 2023, by $12,560,674. Of this amount, $11,818,277 is restricted and
reserved by external laws and regulations or debt covenants.
Total assets and deferred outflows of resources decreased by $86,152.
During the current year, the District's capital assets increased by a net of $68,146. This increase was
mostly attributable to ongoing TCP treatment construction.
Long-term liabilities decreased by $273,969 for the year ended June 30, 2023. This overall decrease is
due to a decrease in OPEB liability related adjustments.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to Del Rey Community Services District's
basic financial statements. The District's basic financial statements are comprised of three components: I)
government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements and 3) notes to the financial statements. 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 District's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the District's assets and liabilities, with the two
reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of
whether the financial position of the District is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the District's net position changed during the most
recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the
change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenue and expense are reported in this
statement for some items that will only result in cash flow in future fiscal periods.

DEL REY COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023
Financial Highlights (continued)
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the District that are principally
proprietary in nature (business-type activities) which are functions that are intended to recover all or a significant
portion of their costs through user fees and charges. The District has no governmental activities.
The government-wide financial statements include only the District itself. The District has no component units.
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 District, 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 District can be divided into two categories: governmental funds and
proprietary funds. The District has no governmental funds and four proprietary funds, the Water Fund, the Sewer
Fund, the Solid Waste Fund, and Nonmajor Enterprise Funds.
Proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as business-
type 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 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.
Notes to the 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.
Other information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also
presents certain other supplementary information.
Government-wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. As
of June 30, 2023, the District's assets exceeded liabilities by $12,560,674. Of that amount, $8,154,815,
representing 65% of the District's net position, is restricted for debt service or specific expenditures relating to
sewer repair, maintenance, service-life extension, park improvements, and the TCP project. Capital assets are
used to provide services to customers, and they are not available for future spending.
The following tables represent summaries of the District's net position and changes in net position for the current
and prior years:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023
Business-type activities. Business-type activities decreased the District's net position by $169,856, accounting
for 100 percent of the total decrease in net position.
Financial Analysis of the District's Funds
As noted earlier, the District uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance related
legal requirements.
Proprietary Funds. The purpose of the District's proprietary fund financial statements is to provide information
on near-term inflows, outflows and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the
District's financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a
government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of June 30, 2023, the District's proprietary funds reported a combined ending fund balance of $12,560,674 a
decrease of $169,856, in comparison to the prior year. Of the entire ending fund balance, $742,397 is unrestricted
and is available for spending at the District's discretion.
Capital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital assets. The District's investment in capital assets for its business-type activities as of June 30, 2023,
amounted to $4,230,187 (net of allowance for depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes land,
building, improvements, machinery & equipment, furniture & fixtures, vehicles, and construction in progress.
Additional information on the District's capital assets can be found in note four.
Debt administration. The District's long-term debt totaled $566,725 as of June 30, 2023. Of this total amount,
$34,746 is due and payable during the year ending June 30, 2024. The remainder, referred to as deferred
liabilities, is due and payable over the next 13 years.
Additional information on the District's long-term debt can be found in note five.
Economic Factors and Next Year's Budgets and Rates
The budget for the year ending June 30, 2024 projects a deficit of $167,712. Revenue is anticipated to decrease
by $446,225 compared to June 30, 2023, while expenses are expected to decrease by $448,369. Charges for
services are anticipated to decrease by $34,192, while non-operating revenue is expected to decrease by
$412,033. Salaries, wages and employee benefits are expected to decrease by $17,141 and services and supplies
are anticipated to decrease by $4,191 compared to June 30, 2023.
User rates are not expected to increase during the year ending June 30, 2024.
Requests for Information
This financial report is designed to provide a general overview of Del Rey Community Services District's
finances for all those with an interest in the District's finances. Questions concerning any of the information
provided in this report or request for additional financial information should be addressed to the General

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Del Rey Community Services District (the District) was organized in 1963 under the Municipal Water
District Act of 1911 (California Water Code 7100). A five-member board of directors, who are elected at
large, provide governance. The District was formed to secure a high quality, reliable source of water, sewer,
solid waste, street lighting, and recreation services to the public. Those services are provided on a continuing
basis and are financed through user charges. The Board of Directors has the authority to fix rates and charges
for the District's services. The District also may incur indebtedness, including issuing bonds, and is exempt
from federal and state income taxes.
The accounting and reporting policies of the District conform to generally accepted accounting principles
applicable to state and local governments. Generally accepted accounting principles for local governments
include those principles prescribed by the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants in the publication entitled Audits of State and Local Governmental
Units, and by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (when applicable).
Financial Reporting Entity
As required by generally accepted accounting principles, these general purpose financial statements present
the District in conformance with GASB Statement No. 14, "The Financial Reporting Entity." Under
Statement No. 14, component units are organizations that are included in the District's reporting entity
because of the significance of their operational or financial relationships with the District. The District has
no component units.
Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements, which are the statement of net position and the statement of
activities, report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government. Governmental
activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenue, are reported separately
from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. The District
has no governmental activities.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or
activity are offset by program revenue. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific
function or activity. Program revenue include charges to customers, grants and contributions that are
restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or activity. Separate
financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds, even
though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual
governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported in separate columns in the fund
financial statements.
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus
and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary funds financial statements. Revenues are recorded
when earned and expenses are recorded when liabilities are incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash
flow. Property taxes are recognized as revenue in the year in which they are levied. Grants and similar items
are recognized as revenue when all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.

YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation (continued)
The financial statements of the District are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. The District's reporting entity applies all relevant Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB) pronouncements and applicable Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements
and Accounting Principles Board (APB) opinions issued on or before November 30, 1989, unless they
conflict with the GASB pronouncements. The District's reporting entity does not apply FASB
pronouncements of APB opinions issued after November 30, 1989.
Proprietary fund financial statements are reported using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are
recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when liabilities are incurred, regardless of the timing of
related cash flow. Amounts reported as program revenue include charges to customers for goods and
services, operating grants and contributions and capital grants and contributions.
Assets, Liabilities and Net Position or Equity
1. Cash and Investments
GAAP allows a financial statement issuer to choose the focus of the statement of cash flows as either cash
or “cash and cash equivalents.” The District reports restricted and unrestricted cash, including bank deposits
and the District’s investment in the State of California Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), as well as
cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The District defines cash equivalents as certain highly liquid
investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
2. Property, Plant and Equipment
Capital assets, which include property, plant and equipment are reported in the applicable governmental
columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the District as assets
with an initial individual cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of three years. All
material fixed assets are valued at historical cost. Donated fixed assets are valued at their estimated fair value
on the date donated. When an asset is disposed of, cost and related accumulated depreciation is removed and
any gain or loss arising from its disposal is credited or charged to operations.
The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend
asset lives are not capitalized.
Depreciation is recorded by using the straight-line method. The book value of each asset is reduced by equal
amounts over its estimated useful life as follows:
Estimated ueseful
life in years
Buildings 30-40
Water System 20-40
Sewer System 5-40
Park Development 10-40
General Equipment 5-10
Statement Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications may have been made in the prior year’s amounts to conform with current year
financial statement presentation.

Assets, Liabilities and Net Position or Equity (continued)
3. Net Position
Net position comprise the various net earnings from operating income, nonoperating revenue and expense
and capital contributions. Net position is classified in the following three components:
Nonspendable – Amounts that are not in spendable form (such as inventory) or are required either legally or
contractually to be maintained intact. If there are significant unspent related debt proceeds at year-end, the
portion of the debt attributable to the unspent proceeds is not included in the calculation of invested capital
assets, net of related debt.
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt – This component of net position consists of capital assets, net
of accumulated depreciation and reduced by the outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes or
other borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or improvements of those assets.
Restricted – This component of net position consists of constraints imposed by creditors (such as through
debt covenants), grantors, contributors or laws or regulations of other governments or constraints imposed
by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Restrictions for the year ended June 30,
2023 were as follows:
Lighting 16,345 Restricted for lighting repairs, improvements
associated lighting expenses
Sewer 147,860 Restricted for repairs to the connections or
further connection improvements and area
extensions
Debt service 51,535 Restriction for current liability for the water
bonds, principal and interest included
TCP water well 7,939,075 Restricted towards construction of the TCP
water well project
Unrestricted net position – This component of net position consists of net position that do not meet the
definition of restricted or invested in capital assets, net of related debt.
Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The District established a budget for its enterprise fund for the year ended June 30, 2023. The budget is
adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements
and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Investment Policy
California statutes authorize districts to invest idle, surplus, or reserve funds in a variety of credit instruments
as provided for in the California Government Code, Section 53600, et seq., Chapter 4 – Financial Affairs.
The table below identifies the investment types that are authorized for the District by the California
Government Code (or the District’s investment policy, where more restrictive) that address interest rate risk,
credit risk, and concentration of credit risk. This table does not address investments of debt proceeds held by
a bond trustee that are governed by the provisions of debt agreements of the District rather than the general
provisions of the California Government Code or the District’s investment policy.

Total cash and investments $ 9,325,431
Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk: Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not
fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a
nationally recognized statistical organization. LAIF does not have a rating provided by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization.

The custodial risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a
transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that
are in the possession of another party. The California Government Code and the District’s investment policy
do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for
investments. With respect to investments, custodial credit risk generally applies only to direct investments
in marketable securities. Custodial credit risk does not apply to a local government’s indirect investment in
securities through the use of mutual funds or government investment pools.
As of June 30, 2023, the balances in financial institutions were $244,527. The balance in financial
institutions covered by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is $244,527. The excess
amount of $0 was collateralized as required under the California Government Code, by pledging financial

General Information About the Pension Plan
Plan Description
All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to participate in the District's cost-sharing
multiple employer defined benefit pension plan administered by the California Public Employees' Retirement
System (CalPERS).
CalPERS acts as a common investment and administrative agent for its participating member employers.
Benefit provisions under the Plan are established by State statute and District resolution. Cal PERS issues
publicly available reports that include a full description of the pension plans regarding benefit provisions,
assumptions, and membership information that can be found on the CalPERS website at www.calpers.ca.gov.
Benefits Provided
CalPERS provides service retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living adjustments, and death
benefits to plan members, who must be public employees and beneficiaries. Benefits are based on years of
credited service, equal to one full time employment. All members are eligible for non-duty disability benefits
after 5 years of service. The cost of living adjustments for each plan are applied as specified by the Public
Employees' Retirement Law.
The 1328 Classic Plan provisions and benefits in effect at June 30, 2023, are summarized as follows:

Contributions
Section 20814© of the California Public Employee' Retirement Law requires that the employer contribution
rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be effective on the
July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. The total plan contributions are determined through the
CalPERS annual actuarial valuation process. For public agency cost-sharing plans covered by either the
Miscellaneous or Safety risk pools, the Plan's actuarially determined rate is based on the estimated amount
necessary to pay the Plan's allocated share of the risk pool's costs of benefits earned by employees during the
year, and any unfunded accrued liability. The District is required to contribute the difference between the
actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of employees.

At June 30, 2023, the District reported a pension asset of $68,602 for its proportionate share of the net pension
liability.
The District is responsible for its proportionate share of the net pension liability of the Plans. The District's
net pension liability is measured as the proportionate share of the net pension liability. The net pension
liability of each of the Plans is measured as of June 30, 2023, and the total pension liability for each Plan
used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2022 rolled
forward to June 30, 2023 using standard update procedures. The District's proportion of the net pension
liability was based on a projection of the District's long-term share of contributions to the pension plans
relative to the projected contributions of all participating employers, actuarially determined.

Summary of Results
Background
The District maintains a program which pays part or all of monthly medical insurance premiums on behalf
of retired former employees, provided that the employee has satisfied certain requirements. As of June 30,
2022, the District continues to fund the benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis. GASB Statement No. 75,
“Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions”, often referred to
as GASB 75, requires governmental entities to (1) record annual expense for their OPEB and (2) disclose
certain information in their year-end financial statements.
The District has requested this actuarial valuation to determine what its OPEB obligations under the program
are, and what the impact of GASB 75 will be for the 2022-2023 year. This report also includes GASB 75
results that were accrued and disclosed by the District during the 2021-2022 year.
Actuarial Present Value of Projected Benefit Payments
The Actuarial Present Value of Projected Benefit Payments (APVPBP) for all current and former employees,
as of June 30, 2021, is $1,046,289. This is the amount the District would theoretically need to set aside at
this time to fully fund all those future benefits.
The total value of $1,046,289 is the sum of these amounts:
Future benefits of current employees $ 926,398
Future benefits of current retirees 119,891
APVPBP $ 1,046,289
This figure may be compared to the APVPBP of $1,086,399 that was shown in the 2019 valuation report.
We would have expected the APVPBP to be approximately $1,105,000 by 2021 as employees continue
working and benefits are paid to retirees. The difference between the 2019 figure of $1,086,399 and this
year’s figure of $1,046,289 is due to:
● Expected change in the APVPBP since 2019 $ 18,241
● Changes in assumptions 143,126
● Miscellaneous other experience gains and losses ( 201,477)
Total of changes $ (40,110)
The assumption changes are explained below under “Actuarial Assumptions”. The experience gain of
$201,477 is mostly from a new employee replacing a previous employee, and from 3 persons delaying their
retirement.

YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023
Note 2: Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) (continued)
These figures are computed by (1) estimating the OPEB benefits that will be paid to each current and former
employee and their beneficiaries (if applicable), upon the employee’s retirement from the District, (2)
estimating the likelihood that each payment will be made, taking into consideration the likelihood of
remaining employed until retirement age and the likelihood of survival after retirement, and (3) discounting
each expected future payment back to the present date at an assumed rate of investment return.
Net OPEB Liability
The Total OPEB Liability (TOL) is the portion of the APVPBP which has been “earned” by employees
based on past years of service (i.e. benefits allocated to past years of service).
The Plan Fiduciary Net Position (FNP) is equal to the value of assets that have been accumulated in an
irrevocable trust for these benefits.
The Net OPEB Liability or Asset (NOL) is the excess of the Total OPEB Liability over the Plan Fiduciary
Net Position. At the end of each fiscal year, the District must show a liability equal to the NOL.
At June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2022,
these amounts are: June 30, 2021 June 30, 2022
Total OPEB Liability $ 587,905 $ 462,879
Plan Fiduciary Net Position - -
Net OPEB Liability $ 587,905 $ 462,879
OPEB Expense under GASB 75
GASB 75 requires that the annual change in the TOL be recognized as OPEB expense, except for certain
specific changes which are to be recognized over different periods of time. Changes in actuarial assumptions,
and experience gains and losses, are to be recognized over the average of the expected remaining service
lives of all employees. This average for District employees is 5.5 years. The unrecognized remaining
amounts of assumption changes, experience gains/losses and investment earnings differences are called
“deferred outflows and inflows of resources relating to OPEB” (see Exhibit 5).
The OPEB Expense for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 was $46,186. For the year ending June 30,
2023, the OPEB Expense is $(2,663). Derivations of these amounts are shown in Exhibit 4.

dates.
Exhibit 7 shows estimated retiree benefits and OPEB expense for the 9 years after that.
Actuarial Assumptions
All actuarial assumptions are unchanged from the June 30, 2020 valuation, except as described below. The
assumptions are described in detail in Exhibit 9.
The discount rate has been changed from 2.18% to 4.09%. The discount rate for an unfunded plan is required
to be based on a 20-year index of high-quality bonds. The District has elected to use the S&P Municipal
Bond 20 Year High Grade Rate Index, which was 2.66% as of June 30, 2020; 2.18% as of June 30, 2021;
and 4.09% as of June 30, 2022. Changing the discount rate had the effect of decreasing the APVPBP by
$(146,584).
Exhibit 1 - Actuarial Values as of June 30, 2022
The Actuarial Present Value of Projected Benefit Payments (APVPBP) as of June 30, 2022 of all future
employer-paid benefits from the program, for all current and former employees, is:
Actuarial Present Values Number of Persons
Current Employees $ 926,398 5
Retired Employees 119,891 2
$ 1,046,289 7
As of June 30, 2022, the District has not accumulated any assets in an irrevocable trust toward this liability.
The Total OPEB Liability (TOL) as of June 30, 2021 is the portion of the APVPBP which has been “earned”
to date by current and former employees, based on the years of service already completed:
Current employees $ 468,014
Retired former employees 119,891

Shown below are estimates of (a) the benefits expected to be paid to retirees, and (b) the amounts the District
is expected to accrue as GASB 75 OPEB expense, for the next ten years. For these estimates, it is assumed

Note 2: Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) (continued)
Exhibit 8 - Summary of Benefit Provisions
The District contributes toward post-retirement benefits for employees who retire with a pension from
CalPERS and select medical coverage with CalPERS.
The District pays 100% of the CalPERS medical premiums for eligible retired employees. Payments are
made for as long as the retiree lives. The District makes no other payments to the retiree’s dependents or to
any other person. The District does not pay for dental or vision coverage, or any other benefits.
Exhibit 9 - Summary of Actuarial Assumptions
Actuarial Assumptions: The following assumptions as of June 30, 2022 were selected by the District in
accordance with the requirements of GASB 75. These assumptions, in my opinion, are reasonable and
appropriate for purposes of determining OPEB costs under GASB 75.
20-Year Bond Rate: The District has chosen to use the “S&P Municipal Bond 20 Year High Grade Rate
Index” as its 20-year bond rate. That Index was 2.66% at June 30, 2020; 2.18% at June 30, 2021; and 4.09%
at June 30, 2022.
Discount rate: 2.66% at June 30, 2020; 2.18% at June 30, 2021; and 4.09% at June 30, 2022. Since the
benefits are not funded, the discount rate is equal to the 20-Year Bond Rate.
Medical Cost Increases (Trend): Medical premium amounts are assumed to increase 5.5% per year.
Payroll Growth: Total payroll is assumed to increase 3% per year in the future.
Coverage Elections: 100% of future eligible retired employees are assumed to participate in this program.
Employees are assumed to keep the same medical plan after retirement that they have while employed.
Mortality: Mortality rates are taken from the 2017 CalPERS valuation.
Funding Method: The Entry Age actuarial cost method has been used, with normal costs calculated as a
level percentage of payroll, as required by GASB 75.
Disability: Incidence of disability is considered to be included in the termination and retirement rates here,
so no explicit recognition of disablement has been included.
Inflation: Long-term inflation is assumed to be 2.75% per year.

Note 2: Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) (continued)
Age-Specific Claims: The per person annual “true cost” of medical coverage for the 2019-2020 fiscal year
has been developed from the monthly insurance premiums, the demographics of the employee population
and industry norms. The annual “true cost” amounts used in this valuation were (sample rates only are
shown):
Age 50 14,501
Age 55 17,883
Age 60 20,844
Age 62 21,822
Age 64 22,362
These age-specific rates were developed so as to reproduce in the aggregate the same total premium that
would be paid to the carriers for all current employees and all current retirees.
Retirement: Retirement rates are taken from the 2017 CalPERS OPEB Assumptions Model (for classified
employees) and from the 2016 valuation of Cal STRS (for certificated employees). Sample rates are:
10 Years Service 20 Years Service 30 Years Service
Age 55 5.5% 11.3% 23.4%
Age 58 6.6% 12.4% 20.1%
Age 61 9.4% 15.3% 24.1%
Age 64 14.7% 22.1% 30.8%
Turnover (withdrawal): Likelihood of termination within the next year is taken from the 2017 CalPERS
OPEB Assumptions Model. Sample rates are:
5 Years Service 10 Years Service 15 Years Service
Age 20 6.54%
Age 30 6.15% 4.16% 2.62%
Age 40 5.19% 3.75% 2.43%
Age 50 4.41% 2.86% 1.88%

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER
MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Board of Directors
Del Rey Community Services District
We have audited, 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, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities and each major
fund of the Del Rey Community Services District (District), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and the related
notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements, and have issued
our report thereon dated February 12, 2024.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Del Rey Community Services
District's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion
on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or
employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements
on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that
there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented,
or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies,
in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged
with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and
was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant
deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we
consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were
not identified.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Del Rey Community Services District's financial statements
are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination
of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an
objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances
of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
40
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results
of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control or on compliance.
This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering
the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.
