The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
City of Brentwood
Brentwood, California 94513
Dear Mayor Swisher and Members of the City Council:
I am pleased to submit the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report ( CAFR) for the City of Brentwood, California for the fiscal year ended June
30, 2003. This is the second year that the City’s Finance Department has prepared this report using the new reporting requirements as prescribed
by GASB Statement No. 34. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all
disclosures, rests with the City. To the best of City Staff’s knowledge and belief, the enclosed data are accurate in all material respects and are
reported in a manner designed to fairly present the financial position and results of operations of the various entities of the City of Brentwood. All
disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the City’s financial activities have been included.
In addition to fund- by- fund financial information currently presented in the City’s financial statements, we are now including government- wide
financial statements. The government- wide financial statements include a Statement of Net Assets that provides the total net assets of the City
including infrastructure and the Statement of Net Activities that shows the cost of providing government services. These statements have been
prepared using the accrual basis of accounting versus the modified accrual method used in the fund financial statements. A reconciliation report is
provided as a key to understanding the changes between the two reporting methods. In addition, the new reporting model includes an emphasis on
the City’s major funds as shown in the Governmental Fund Statements. These new statements combined with other information are further
analyzed in a new narrative section called Management’s Discussion and Analysis ( MD& A). The MD& A provides “ financial highlights” and
interprets the financial reports by analyzing trends and by explaining changes, fluctuations and variances in the financial data. In addition, the
MD& A is intended to disclose any known significant events or decisions that affect the financial condition of the City.

City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xi
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report ( CAFR) is prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America as promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board ( GASB).
This report is presented in three sections as follows:
1. INTRODUCTORY SECTION - Letter of Transmittal with comments on the operations of the City, the City’s organizational chart
and a list of principal public officials and administrative personnel;
2. FINANCIAL SECTION - Basic Financial Statements and Required Supplementary Information - The Basic Financial
Statements include Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Government- Wide Financial Statements, Fund Financial Statements,
Notes to the Financial Statements and Required Supplementary Information, as well as the Auditors’ Report on the financial
statements and schedules. The City of Brentwood also includes an additional Supplementary Section that contains the Combining
Fund Financial Statements and is not a required section of the report; and
3. STATISTICAL SECTION – Selected financial and demographic information, generally presented on a multi- year basis.
REPORTING ENTITY
In addition to reporting directly for the City operations, two component units, the Brentwood Redevelopment Agency and Brentwood Joint Powers
Financing Authority, have been included in the primary reporting entity and are treated as blended component units.
The Brentwood Redevelopment Agency ( the “ Agency”) was established pursuant to the State of California Health and Safety Code, Section
33000, entitled “ Community Redevelopment Law” and on August 20, 1981 the City Council became the governing board of the Brentwood
Redevelopment Agency. The Agency was formed for the purpose of preparing and carrying out plans for improvement, rehabilitation and
redevelopment of blighted areas within the territorial limits of the City of Brentwood. The funds of the Agency have been included in the
governmental activities in the financial statements.
The Brentwood Joint Powers Financing Authority ( the “ Authority”) is a joint powers authority organized under Section 6500 et seq. of the
California Government Code on March 14, 1995 between the City and the Agency for the purpose of acting as a vehicle for various financing
activities of the City and the Agency. The Authority’s Board of Directors is the Brentwood City Council. The primary purpose of the Authority is
to render financial assistance to the City and the Agency by issuing debt and financing the construction of public facilities.
Blended component units, although legally separate entities are, in substance, part of the government’s operations and so data from these units are
combined with data of the primary government. Each of the blended components has a June 30 year- end date for accounting purposes.

Letter of Transmittal
City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xii
Bay Area
Accounting for all of the City’s activities is centralized under the Finance Department. The department has been delegated the responsibility for
maintaining the integrity of the City’s recorded financial data. In fulfilling this responsibility, the Finance Department has prepared the
accompanying financial statements. In our professional judgment, these statements fairly and accurately reflect the financial position of the City
and the results of its operations.
This financial report includes all of the City’s funds and account groups. The City provides a full range of services. These services include police
services, public works, economic development, planning, building, engineering and inspection services, parks and recreation, and general
administrative services. The City also operates a public water and wastewater utility, as well as refuse collection, which includes disposal and a
recycling program.
BACKGROUND
The City of Brentwood was incorporated in 1948 as a general law city under the laws of the State of
California. Brentwood is located halfway between the cities of San Francisco and Sacramento at the
eastern portion of Contra Costa County. The City is governed by a five ( 5) member City Council, under the
Council – Manager form of government. As of June 30, 2003, the City has a current population of
approximately 33,364 and encompasses approximately 13.73 square miles.
FINANCIAL DATA
Providing reliable financial information requires the establishment of accounting records adequately supported by systems of internal control. The
City’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the City’s assets are
protected from loss, theft, or misuse. They must also ensure that adequate accounting data is compiled to allow for the preparation of financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The internal control structure is designed
to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met, while recognizing that this assurance is not absolute. The concept of reasonable
assurance recognizes that: ( 1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and ( 2) the valuation of costs and benefits
requires estimates and judgments by management. City administration believes the existing internal control systems are adequate to provide this
reasonable assurance that City assets are safeguarded against loss and that financial records are reliable for preparing financial statements and
maintaining accountability for assets. Furthermore, the City received the second “ Unqualified” Audit this past year.
The accompanying financial statements have been examined by Vavrinek, Trine, Day and Co., LLP, Certified Public Accountants. The firm was
engaged by the City Council to render an opinion on the City’s financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America.
City of Brentwood
Letter of Transmittal
City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xiii
The City Council is responsible for:
1. Assuring that City administration fulfills its responsibilities in the preparation of the financial statements; and
2. Engaging the certified public accountants with whom the City Council reviews the scope of the audits and the accounting principles to be
applied in financial reporting.
To ensure complete independence, Vavrinek, Trine, Day and Co., LLP has full and free access to meet with the City Council to discuss the results
of their assessment of the adequacy of internal accounting controls and the quality of financial reporting.
The City also maintains budgetary controls. The objective of these budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in
the annual appropriated budget approved by the City Council. Activities of the general fund, special revenue funds, debt service funds, enterprises
and capital projects funds are included in the annual appropriated budget, except the Bypass Authority, Mark Roos Drainage Credit, Street
Improvement Projects, Capital Improvement 2001, Capital Projects and the Capital Improvement Financing Programs. The level of budgetary
control is established at the fund level. The City also maintains an encumbrance accounting system as one technique for accomplishing budgetary
control.
These budgets reflect an organization whose top priorities continue to be:
• Provide and build public facilities
• Provide and maintain an adequate public infrastructure
• Plan and manage growth to maintain and enhance our small town character
• Enhance and promote Brentwood’s economic vitality
• Provide friendly customer service
The Operating Budget maintains a stable financial environment for the City of Brentwood. The decisions made in the budget process emphasize
the City Council’s goals and objectives. Staff will continue to pursue all means available to achieve the City’s Mission Statement:
The City of Brentwood is dedicated to creating, maintaining and enhancing a well- planned community
that is friendly, safe and healthy for everyone.
Mission Statement Adopted January 5, 2001.
The City’s accounting records are maintained on the Accrual Basis, or Modified Accrual Basis, as appropriate. Budgets are prepared and
expenditures recorded at the object of expenditure level. A thorough explanation of the City’s funds as of June 30, 2003, and the results of each
fund’s operation for the year, are presented in the financial section of this report.

ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK
Until recently, Brentwood was a small rural agricultural community and is one of the fastest growing cities in California. The need for housing in
the Bay Area in the early 1990’ s prompted Brentwood’s growth at a rate of 10% to 18% per year. The City’s population has increased steadily
over the last fiscal year as predicted, and the development of single- family homes, commercial sites and infrastructure reflects the increase in this
expanding population.
The City issued 1,400 building permits for single- family homes during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2003. To keep up with the growth demands,
infrastructure was also at a high level with several projects at various stages of design, construction or completion for the year.
There was significant progress in Brentwood’s economic development during Fiscal Year 2002/ 03. Prior planning efforts materialized in the
construction of several commercial projects that will provide our residents convenient goods and services and local jobs. This commercial growth
is fueled by the maturation of the socio- economic demographic of our far- east county sub- region, defined as lands in Contra Costa County to the
south and east of Somersville Road in Antioch. Approximately 180,700 people reside in the area with a median annual household income of
$ 70,000 in the City of Brentwood. This represents a critical mass of population and disposable income that will attract an estimated 1,200,000
square feet of retail space within the next year. A survey of Brentwood’s residents indicates that the far- east county population is highly trained
and educated providing an available workforce for business activities. The median value of housing in the sub- region is $ 271,430 providing an
affordable housing stock with certain areas providing executive homes in the $ 600,000 plus price range.
Sand Creek Crossing, a 260,000 square foot commercial center, is complete and will offer
the far- east county population shopping opportunities that have not been present in the
region. Lone Tree Plaza, a 454,000 square foot commercial center, Lone Tree Center, an
180,000 square foot commercial center and three neighborhood centers totaling 220,000
square feet are in various stages of construction and will be complete by the end of FY
2003. These six projects, totaling 1,114,000 square feet, will generate approximately
$ 3,000,000 in sales tax when complete.
Brentwood is blessed with a vital, thriving and charming historical Downtown. Recent
businesses that have located in the district have included restaurants, unique retail and
personal services. These types of business activity provide a tenant mix that cannot be
found in typical suburban shopping centers and anchor classic Downtown settings. The
vacancy rate is an enviable 0%. This atmosphere provides a pleasant backdrop to
successful concerts in the park and street festivals.
The Office / R& D / Flex- Tech Industrial sector increased significantly with the construction of four new projects totaling 135,000 square feet.
Leasing and sales of these projects has been very brisk with the latest real estate assessment indicating less than 3% vacancy in this sector.

The Sunset Industrial Complex, a 28- acre medium industrial project that will be sold to multiple end- users, is in its final stages of construction.
Interest in the complex is significant and it appears there are more businesses wanting to locate here than can be accommodated. Preliminary
estimates indicate that the complex will accommodate approximately 14 businesses.
The Economic Development Department also advanced two important capital improvement projects. A 17,000 square foot campus for Los
Medanos College was completed and occupied in September 2001 providing a full AA degree curriculum for our residents. Five hundred full time
equivalent students were served in the second year of operation at the Campus. The City also constructed an adjacent 17,000 square foot Business
and Technology Incubator to provide an affordable workplace for our resident entrepreneurs. Currently, the Incubator has twenty- four start- up
business tenants.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Far East County communities, located along the State Route 4 corridor, have all experienced significant residential growth over the last ten years.
Many Bay Area residents have sought more affordable housing options than were provided in the inner Bay Area. As the region has grown, the
Far East County has transformed from a primarily industrial and agricultural sub- region to a series of bedroom communities for employment
centers in the Bay Area, including San Francisco, the Silicon Valley, the Tri- Valley,
and Contra Costa County. For the City of Brentwood, the shift has, for the most
part, been from an agricultural community to a bedroom community.
Employment growth has occurred in conjunction with resident growth, though
primarily in resident- serving industry sectors, including retail and certain service
sectors. A few new firms have stepped in to replace the “ basic industry” role of
agriculture in exporting goods and services beyond the local area, catalyzing the
generation of new wealth in the City. Building to support this trend is expected to
continue with 150,000 square feet of new Office / R& D / Flex- Tech Industrial
construction anticipated to occur in the next year.
Professional services are also increasing the quality of life for Brentwood residents.
John Muir Medical, a fully entitled medical office project, will be constructing a
three- story 110,000 square foot medical facility and helicopter pad in Phase I of
their development in 2004.
The adoption of the Residential Growth Management Program ( RGMP) on July 6, 2001 aids in regulating Brentwood’s growth. The intent of
the RGMP is to limit new housing approvals to 650 units per year in order to align our residential growth to coincide with future infrastructure.
The RGMP also ensures compliance with our fair share of regional housing set by the Association of Bay Area Governments ( ABAG), and
ensures growth at a deliberate and well- planned pace.

The Affordable Housing Program was adopted September 9, 2003, and will provide the following future conditions:
• Creates affordable housing by constructing 10% of all new dwelling units as affordable housing for very- low and low income households.
• Will provide affordable housing options for workforce while reducing congestion on regional roadways by eliminating commutes.
• Units must remain affordable for 45 years for ownership units, 55 years for rentals.
• Units must be integrated into each neighborhood and must be built with the same quality, fit and finish as market rate units.
Alternatives to construction of affordable units include dedication of vacant land, conversion of market rate units to affordable units, dedication of
affordable units to the City and in- lieu fees ( fees sufficient to build the required units).

Department. The merger was effective July 1, 2003.
• The merger of last years nine Wednesday night with the four Friday night Concerts in the Park evolved this year into eleven total concerts
on Friday nights with two of the acts as headliners and the remaining as local Bay Area talent. This venture was accepted by the
community with great response and enjoyment of the musical arts.

• The City is working with Liberty Union High School District on four joint- use community projects: Renovation of the Liberty Union
High School football field into a year- round surface/ all weather track; construction of a 50- meter pool at Heritage High School;
construction of a joint- use gymnasium at Heritage High School; and provision of underground conduit for future sports lighting of athletic
fields at Heritage High School.
• Public works started construction of a 10,000+ square foot building at 325 Sunset Road that will house the
purchasing/ receiving/ warehouse and the mechanics shop. Completion date is August 2003. Public Works is moving their headquarters
from 161 Sycamore to Sunset Road with a move in date in August 2003.
• The City started the architectural design for 8,000+ square feet at 120 Oak Street which will be occupied by the City of Brentwood
Engineering Department. Construction will begin in October 2003 with a tentative move in date of February 2004.
• The Senior Club continues to strive towards becoming a non- profit organization and is awaiting approval from the federal agency.
• Brentwood Boulevard Widening from Marsh Creek to the north City limits – The focus of this project is public safety, traffic flow and
circulation and continues the widening of Brentwood Boulevard with two lanes in each direction. This project also consists of the bridge
widening over Marsh Creek.
• Lone Tree Way – Union Pacific Undercrossing – This project will construct a grade separation underpass consisting of six travel lanes
crossing under the Union Pacific Railroad. This project will drastically increase public safety by creating a grade separation crossing of
the railroad, instead of the present at- grade crossing.
• Lone Tree Way Widening from 400 feet west of O’Hara Avenue to Brentwood Boulevard– This project will improve traffic safety and
reduce congestion along Lone Tree Way by widening the roadway to two lanes in each direction and installing left- turn lanes.
• Sunset Industrial Complex - Construction began in the Summer of 2002 for the City’s first major redevelopment effort. It is intended to
relocate heavy industrial uses from Brentwood Boulevard to a more appropriate location. This includes annexing the area into the
Redevelopment Area and coordination with solid waste, a relocated corporation yard, the Wastewater Treatment Plant and a 37.8 acre
sports part. This project will increase available industrial land, upgrade the Brentwood Boulevard streetscape by removing industrial users
and increase the Redevelopment Agency’s tax increment flow.
• Sunset Road Realignment - Sunset Road will be realigned in a due east- west direction along the north side of the EBMUD Aqueduct to
intersect with Brentwood Boulevard at the Grant Street signal. The project includes the construction of a bridge over Marsh Creek, water

FINANCING FUTURE INFRASTRUCTURE
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FINANCING PROGRAMS: Capital Improvement Financing Programs ( CIFP) are a mechanism through which the City
and the Development Community cooperate to fund and construct major Master Planned and Sub- Master Planned infrastructure ( roads, water and
wastewater lines, regional drainage facilities, etc.). The City is able to obtain very low interest rates through its outstanding financial reputation
and bonds are sold using the participating Developer’s property as the collateral. There is no risk involved for the City as a 3 to 1 value to lien
ratio is used to determine the amount of bonds to be sold. As the properties develop, the bonds are repaid by the new property owner over a 30-
year period.
The most recent CIFP the City has funded was CIFP 2002- 1. Items to be constructed or funded through CIFP 2002- 1 are: Lone Tree Way
Segments 1 and 2, Fairview Avenue reconstruction and realignment, Master Planned storm drain facilities along the Lone Tree Way Corridor,
Sycamore Avenue extension, Minnesota Avenue improvement and the extension of Garin Parkway. The total amount of the bond sale was
$ 16,585,000.
DEPARTMENT REVIEW
In the CITY MANAGER’S office, the City’s Administrative functions are expanding to fill the ever- growing needs of the community. The
establishment of an Assistant City Manager is the result of the City recognizing the needs in these areas. The Assistant City Manager will
oversee the Human Resources Division, provide staff assistance to various City Council Subcommittees, oversight of the franchise agreements,
and work on special projects assigned by the City Manager and the City Council. The Assistant City Manager will also serve as a communications
liaison for the City and its citizens. The overriding goal of the department is to secure and strengthen the long- term economic vitality of the City,
while securing a small town atmosphere for our residents.
The CITY CLERK’S office completed the Laserfiche update for the Agenda Manager. Currently in progress is an update to the Website with the
addition of a Web Link to the City Council and RDA agendas. The City Clerk’s office is also spearheading a Workflow Suite implementation that
allows for the tracking of all projects on a global level. In addition, the City Clerk staff developed strategies for updating and converting the filing
system for the City’s permanent and vital records located in the vault. This allows for the safekeeping and easy retrieval of documents. The City
has also introduced new conveniences for its residents through establishing passport application and processing services at City Hall.
The CITY ATTORNEY has been consulted on numerous issues that could have results in claims, disputes, mediation, or litigation. In an attempt
to resolve issues before they reach the need for dispute resolution, the City has employed an in- house attorney to better respond to these possible
issues. As of June 30, 2003, the City has had ten cases filed against it and three claims. These cases are being vigorously defended by the City.
City of Brentwood
Letter of Transmittal
City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xxi
During the past year, the City Attorney has acted with other department heads to provide opinions concerning new development fees, respond to
claims, resolve challenges to various city projects, and daily operating issues. The City expects to continue to employ an in- house counsel to
better provide daily legal advice and opinion concerning on- going city projects, operations and compliance with statutory procedures.
The FINANCE DEPARTMENT compiled and developed the City’s second CAFR. The 2001/ 02 CAFR was a monumental task as it served two
purposes – an amplification of the understanding of the City’s financial status under the new reporting requirements as prescribed by GASB
Statement No. 34, and a savings in the preparation and publishing of the report for the second time. The 2001/ 02 CAFR received the California
Society of Municipal Finance Officer’s Certificate of Award for Outstanding Financial Reporting and the Government Finance Officers
Association Certificate of Award for Excellence in Financial Reporting. The CAFR has become a very useful document made available to
residents and interested parties.
Annual budgets and Capital Improvement Program budgets are prepared to enable the City to plan, comply with the legal limit that the City can
expend on funds, monitor the flow of resources, and to allow end of period evaluations for reporting to the legislative bodies. Through a concerted
effort of gathering and verifying facts, the Finance Department continues to compile reliable data for the Legislative body, for the City, and for its
residents. In addition, a Cost Allocation Plan is prepared annually to present an analysis of the
computation of overhead charges for City- wide and department programs. It also provides the
framework for computing specific user fees and charges such as Building, Electrical, Plumbing
and Mechanical Permit fees; Engineering, Police, Parks & Recreation, Utility Billing, Facilities,
Business Tax and Administration Fees; Water, Solid Waste, Wastewater and Solid Waste
Enterprise Rates to name a few.
In an effort to minimize the cost and the time required to produce annual Budgets and the
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, the Finance Department has created its own
publishing center – streamlining the gathering of data for the reports and utilizing current
manpower and equipment to produce these extensively detailed reports. The result of this
publishing center is a start to finish product created entirely in house, including the processing of
CDs on all adopted documents.
The City amended its fifty- four year old Business License Tax and Regulations, as set forth in Ordinance No. 707. Measure D was passed by
General Vote on November 5, 2002, and subsequent adoption by Council. The new tax ordinance allows the City’s business license fee and
regulations to be comparable to adjacent cities, provide for an equitable basis and rate, require all businesses to pay a business license fee, and
provide a consistent general fund revenue for such vital services as police services.
The City of Brentwood has contracted with an outside service to assist in the preparation of a 10 year fiscal model. The City will develop a
strategic plan for the next ten years that will enable us to continue our long run of fiscal health. The initial tasks have been to provide assistance to
representatives within all the departments to improve accuracy within the individual departmental projections. These projections will relate

alternative economic and marketing input scenarios so as to enable the core team and Council to consider the short term and the long term
implications of alternatively likely economic and growth futures.
Finance continues to be a facilitator in the formation and administration of all Lighting and Landscape Districts, Assessment Districts and the new
Community Facilities District. Bond documentation was completed on refunding CIFP 98- 1, 99- 1 ( a savings of over $ 1.9 million in new funds for
infrastructure) and on CIFP 2002- 1. Bond closing for RDA, Roadway & Tech Center was completed at $ 3.2 million. Annual bond disclosure was
completed on CIFP 2001, 2001 General Obligation Bond and Water and Sewer Bond.
The Information Systems Division of the Finance Department continues to keep the City’s technology up to date by providing regular software
updates such as PC upgrades to Windows 2000 and upgrading the server to Windows 2000 domain. Information Systems has also installed anti-spam
hardware and software and an internet monitoring appliance. Fiber optics are being installed throughout the City that connects City
buildings and increases the wireless speed five fold.
Information Systems continues to maintain a center that makes state of the art equipment available, which is the City’s Business Technology
Center that houses a Usability Lab to be used by businesses to test their products. The lab features a state- of- the- art technology system designed to
attract Bay Area companies and is available for collegiate courses.
The City makes available via the internet our City Budgets and CAFRs. An E- Commerce site has been added where people will be able to register
and pay for Parks & Recreation classes on line. In addition, anyone can now subscribe to the current agendas, watch live Council meetings on the
Web and access past and current Council agendas and meetings. The City of Brentwood website features City Council items, RDA, Boards and
Commissions, City Department and General Information. Very helpful items have been incorporated into the website, including Road Conditions,
Capital Improvement projects, Web page information translated into Spanish, Public Notices, Children’s Place, Municipal codes, a Map room
guided by our GIS system, the City temperature and helpful links to local, community, state and federal sites. The City has automated its way of
processing service requests by making them accessible on line.
Internally, computer service requests are transmitted instantly. More importantly, work service requests for residents for Parks and Maintenance,
Public Works and Utility Billing are now available over the Internet and transmitted to the intended department rather quickly. Work service
requests are tended to in the most efficient time possible. Further, the new hire process has now been automated through our intranet and e- mail
system, allowing for completion of all new hire information and workstation set up prior to the employee coming on board. An on- line office
supply ordering system is in progress. The Finance Department is also currently looking for a new computer accounting package.
The City Information Systems Communications Policy is currently under review, scheduled for council approval toward year end. This will be the
first comprehensive policy of this nature that will cover computers, e- mail, voice mail and all other aspects of City- related communications.

City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xxiii
The Utility Billing Division of the Finance Department accomplished two major goals in the
2002/ 03 Fiscal Year. The utility billing process was converted into four cycles per month
whereby billing is broken down by zone and payment is due 25 days following the billing date.
This new cycle has enhanced customer service levels, allowing for the timely generation of bills
and payment processing. In addition, Utility Billing has now implemented formal payment
arrangements for water/ sewer/ garbage bills in situations where water will be or has been
disconnected due to financial hardship. The customer is required to complete and sign specific
payment arrangements and is required to bring the account current within 6 months. Payment
arrangements can only occur once in a 12- month period. No further penalties will be incurred on
the past- due charges during the repayment period, but the customer is required to keep their
current charges up to date while re- paying the past- due amount.
The Grants Division of the Finance Department submitted 15 grant proposals in this fiscal year totaling $ 5,441,986. Ten grant proposals were
awarded, totaling $ 1,739,490, which were used for roadway landscaping, Parks & Recreation projects, Waste Management, Traffic Congestion
Relief and Safety. Future plans call for the expansion of the City’s grant writing efforts that will increase to citywide from what has been an
engineering effort for infrastructure. The challenge for this grant writing effort is not to lose the very successful infrastructure effort while
expanding the scope.
The BRENTWOOD POLICE DEPARTMENT continues its commitment to deliver high quality law enforcement services to a growing community.
Community programs include Neighborhood Watch, Red Ribbon Week, Vacation Watch, Tell- A- Cop, R. A. V. E., Operation Identification, and the
Community Identification Program.
Every other year the police department presents the “ Every Fifteen Minutes” program to 11th and 12th grade students. The two- day presentation
involves the “ staging” of a drunken driving fatal collision which takes students through the dramatized consequences of drinking and driving.
Program participants include students, parents, teachers, public safety personnel and medical service providers.
Responding to emergency calls for service remains a high priority. In addition to the typical police car, officers may also be assigned to either
foot, bicycle or off- road motorcycle patrol. Three motorcycle officers are assigned to traffic enforcement including commercial vehicles and
collision prevention. A SWAT team has been established to respond to critical incidents.
Implementing and keeping current on new technologies has allowed the Department to become more efficient in its operations and service to the
public. Detectives are using new technologies, such as “ computer forensics,” to investigate Internet and other computer- related crimes.
The Police Department actively collaborates and participates with outreach groups on a variety of issues including domestic violence, gang
involvement, hate crimes, substance abuse, victim assistance, mental illness and the homeless.

Youth activities focus on giving kids positive direction and mentoring. The Police Activities League ( PAL) continues to grow and expand their
program variety. The Brentwood Police Explorer Scouting program offers teenagers an opportunity to be involved in their community, work with
officers and explore a career in law enforcement.
The Police Department continues to grow and evolve to meet the needs of our community. Personnel have been added and trained to provide
faster service for Livescan, child safety seat installations and processing counter requests. The recruitment of top quality police applicants to our
City has been extremely effective through the use of innovative hiring incentives that encourage officers to work and live in Brentwood.
The Police Department is also active in county- wide emergency service groups including the Office of Emergency Services Operation Area Group
and the Homeland Security Grant law enforcement sub- committee.
The Police Department is open to the public on weekdays from 8: 30 AM to 8: 00 PM. Public information pamphlets and resource brochures are
available in the police station lobby.
The ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT continues its commitment to plan, engineer and ensure the highest quality infrastructure to the residents of
Brentwood. To meet the challenge of the growing demand for infrastructure, the Engineering Department pursued an aggressive approach to
expedite the construction of major roadways, water storage and distribution and sanitary sewer collection treatment facilities. With available
limited revenue sources of the City and grants through State and Federal programs, over $ 28 million was invested in the City’s roadway, sewer
and water systems.
The Engineering Department also works cooperatively with the development community to secure innovative financing for infrastructure ahead of
the developments. Final maps, grading plans, roadway, sewer and water improvement plans were approved for 1,332 residential lots over the past
year.
The Building Division of the COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT continued to bring a
number of major commercial projects online through plan check and construction inspection this
year, including the Sand Creek Crossing Shopping Center with TJ Maxx, Homegoods, Raley's,
Ross, Home Concepts Furniture, Starbucks, Hawaiian Barbeque, and many other stores in that
center. Construction continued on the Walnut Business Park and the Town Center Office Park,
bringing several new office buildings online. New commercial construction included a health club
on Guthrie Lane, new office buildings and mini- storage on Sand Creek Road, a new Safeway
shopping center on Balfour at Fairview, the Walgreen’s Center, and the Donahue & Shriber
Regional Shopping Center including Home Depot, Kohl’s, Michaels, SportMart, Petco and Linen
& Things. Three major church projects are also in the process of being constructed - Golden Hills,
Resurrection Ministry, and Immaculate Heart. Two golf club houses are also being constructed. Sand Creek Business Center

City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xxv
Commercial construction accounted for $ 18,442,953.20 in construction valuation.
All of the commercial Building Division activity is in addition to plan check and inspection of 1,400 new homes this past year. We also issued
permits for 228 new pools. That works out to one new pool per workday. For the fiscal year 2002/ 03 2,634 permits were issued with a
construction valuation of $ 294,446,335.
In addition, the Building Division has increased the level of neighborhood preservation activities through code enforcement and the City wide
trash drop off at the transfer station.
In fiscal year 2002/ 2003, the PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT ended up with 142.66
usable park acres built or in design with expected dedication of an additional 15.46 acres in fiscal
year 2003/ 04. The Parks and Recreation Department continues to work with both the Brentwood
Union School District and Liberty Union High School District on joint- use facilities and will be
modifying and updating the joint- use agreement in fiscal year 2003/ 2004. The year 2002 saw the
first annual “ Day in the Park” Art and Wine Festival hosted by the City of Brentwood Arts
Commission. Staff and members of the Arts Commission worked hard to put together this
successful event for the nearly 5,000 people that attended. It is anticipated that this event will
continue to grow each year. The Arts Commission hosted quarterly shows at the Brentwood
Education and Technology Center. Commissioners worked with local schools to enable students
to go to the site to see the Diego Rivera art exhibit, providing some art enrichment in the youth of
our community. The Youth Commission completed Phase I of the Youth Master Plan. A “ Teen
Crisis Referral” card was created and distributed to middle and high school students. The Senior
Citizens Club was formed with the assistance of the recreation staff to help provide input and direction to the department as to the issues and needs
of the growing senior population.
In 2002, the Parks and Recreation Department received two Awards of Excellence from the California Park and Recreation Society ( CPRS).
Awards received were for the “ Best Single Brochure” and “ Facility Design for the Skate Park”.
The DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS is comprised of six Divisions: Solid Waste, Water Production and Distribution, Street Maintenance,
Fleet Maintenance, Wastewater Treatment, which became its own division in 2002, and an Administration Division which provides support to
each of the other Divisions.
Originally established by the City of Brentwood nine years ago, the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund provides refuse collection for all residents within
the City limits. While the Solid Waste Division continues to operate within a healthy enterprise funding, needs assessments and rate studies have
not been conducted in the past. A study is currently underway to identify long- term needs in the Division. Also, a rate study will be implemented
Brentwood Family Aquatic Complex
City of Brentwood
Letter of Transmittal
City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xxvi
to ensure that the enterprise is appropriately funded. The projected rates will support the current and future costs of the Division including
expanding the capacity of the Transfer Station to accommodate residential drop off.
The City of Brentwood’s Municipal Water System supplies approximately 90 million gallons of potable water to the community per month.
Current and immediate future potable water needs are met through municipal wells and purchased water. There is a significant potential for
reducing water demand by utilizing the reclaimed water from the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Staff will be investigating new well sites along
with improving agreements with surface water purveyors to ensure future peak water demands are met. Staff is currently implementing a
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition ( SCADA) program to the water distribution section. This computer controlled program will ensure
reliable and consistent water supply by monitoring water use, remotely controlling pumping demands and providing reliable data for preventative
maintenance work.
The Street Maintenance Division is responsible for asphalt repair and replacement including emergency repairs, sidewalk repairs and curb and
gutter replacements. The Street Maintenance Division is also responsible for street sweeping, sign production and replacement, pavement marking
and storm drain maintenance. The costs associated with this division continue to see increases. These increases are primarily from preventative
maintenance costs associated with the growth of our City. To help offset the costs, staff is implementing programs that will reduce these costs.
Included in this is the new thermo plastic pavement marking equipment. This will increase the life span of legends and lines from eight months to
six years.
The Fleet Maintenance Division has been handles preventative maintenance and repairs for the majority of the City of Brentwood fleet. In FY
2003/ 04, regularly scheduled maintenance was performed on the 120 vehicles owned by the City. The current cost for the maintenance and repairs
is approximately $ 85 an hour. Staff recently relocated to a new maintenance facility that is improving operational efficiencies. The City is also
utilizing a number of electric vehicles to help reduce combustion engine emissions.
The Wastewater Division is operating the newly completed $ 40 million tertiary treatment
facility. Utilizing state- of- the- art process control, this facility has the capacity to process up to
4.5 mgd for beneficial reuse in irrigation throughout the City. Current average dry weather
daily flow is 2.3 mgd. Funded through user and development fees, this facility ensures
adequate treatment of the City of Brentwood’s wastewater. Staff has recently implemented a
Sewer Lateral Maintenance Program that assists residents with maintenance, repair and/ or
replacement of the property owner’s lateral from their property line to the main line. Each
resident is billed $ 1.00 per month for this service. It is anticipated that this new enterprise will
be self sufficient in two years.
Staff completed, and City Council adopted, a comprehensive rate study that ensures the
Treatment Plant is operating with sufficient funds to cover expenses. In Fiscal year 2003/ 04, a
review of this rate study will be conducted to ensure the rates are maintaining sufficient

City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xxvii
enterprise funding. Also associated with the Wastewater Enterprise Fund is collection system maintenance. The current plan calls for the entire
collection system to be cleaned once a year. Additionally, staff will be recommending the purchase of specialized video- based equipment to assist
in determining the condition of the sanitary system.
During the fiscal year 2002/ 03, the Brentwood REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY participated in several projects and programs in order to achieve the
goals and objectives outlined in the Redevelopment Plans and Implementation Plan. The accomplishments associated with these projects and
programs are described below.
• The Agency funded sewer line improvements for health and safety purposes along Brentwood Boulevard and Almond Street for the benefit of
eleven households and two commercial properties.
• The Agency funded the construction of 52 additional parking spaces on Second Street in the Downtown District to facilitate both the
expansion of existing businesses and the attraction of new businesses. The Agency also funded bike racks and additional security lighting for
the Second Street parking lot.
• Sand Creek and Gregory Ranch, a 40- acre commercial, residential, hotel and restaurant mixed- use development, was facilitated by the
Agency’s agreement to reimburse $ 1.5M to the developer for assistance towards the roadway improvement costs. The development will
provide 856 jobs, annual sales tax of $ 43,000 and transient occupancy tax of $ 130,300, as well as return the Agency’s investment of $ 1.5M in
less than eight years due to the increased tax increment generated by the project. As of August 2003, three of the nine office buildings are
complete and occupied, construction of the mini- storage component has
commenced, roadway improvements are nearly complete and the site improvements
for the 120 town home component have been started.
• The Agency completed a lot line adjustment of two parcels it owns on the corner of
Oak Street and Walnut Boulevard. The Agency is considering the development
potential of assembling its two parcels with one privately owned parcel to the south,
for a total assemblage of approximately 4.4 acres. The development could
potentially consist of retail and/ or restaurants and could serve as a gateway to the
downtown area.
• Staff completed a Downtown Parking Structure Study to assess the design
alternatives, construction costs and financial feasibility of a retail/ parking structure
in the downtown area. The parking structure would house approximately 30,000
square feet of retail and restaurant space on the first floor, with three levels of
parking above. A second phase study is currently underway to narrow and focus the
conclusions of the first study, facilitate site selection, fine tune construction and land assemblage costs and revise the design options. EIR and
Phase I site assessment studies will commence shortly.
• The Agency’s Project Area Committee has stayed active in reviewing redevelopment housing activities and staying advised of general
redevelopment projects.
City of Brentwood
Letter of Transmittal
City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xxviii
• In October 2002, the Agency adopted a Business Relocation Assistance Program for eligible businesses currently located within the Merged
Redevelopment Project Areas and interested in voluntary relocation to Sunset Industrial Complex. It is hoped that the program will act as a
catalyst in the removal of existing blighted conditions and to facilitate reuse and revitalization of the area.
• As part of the Business Relocation Assistance Program, staff completed negotiations with Brentwood Ready Mix to relocate from North
Brentwood Boulevard to the Sunset Industrial Complex. To facilitate the success and completion of the Sunset Industrial Complex, the
Agency partially funded its infrastructure in the amount of $ 3M.
• The Agency also continued its relationship with the Brentwood Chamber of Commerce by contributing $ 35,000 to the Chamber’s Marketing
Program. The mission of the marketing program is to increase the economic viability of Brentwood by investing in existing businesses,
attracting new businesses to Brentwood and emphasizing the quality of business and community life in Brentwood.
• The Agency has also developed a multi- year economic strategic plan for the Downtown Area. Interviews of stakeholders, analysis of sales
information and retail data collection is currently underway to help formulate an economic strategic plan for the
Brentwood Boulevard Corridor Area in North Brentwood.
• In January 2003, an analysis and study to determine the feasibility of adding territory along the Lone Tree Way
corridor to the North Brentwood Project Area was performed. The findings concluded that while the survey area
exhibited physical and economic blight factors necessary to create a new project area, the current development in
the area is alleviating blighting conditions by private enterprise acting alone.
• A disposition and development agreement was approved by the Agency in November 2002. The development of
nine high- density, single family residential units on the Agency- owned, one- acre lot at 159 Sycamore Avenue is
currently being negotiated. The developer of the Casitas Del Sol development is required to design a marketing
and resale program that gives preference to residents and workers of Brentwood. This high density project will
provide another housing product at a market price not currently available in the City of Brentwood’s
predominately single family housing stock.
• A disposition and development agreement was approved by the Agency in November 2002 for a $ 575,000
contribution from the Agency’s Housing Set Aside Fund for the development of Sycamore Place II, a 40- unit, very low income, senior
housing development that will mirror an existing and successful complex in Brentwood. The non- profit owner/ operator also secured
commitments from HUD and Contra Costa County HOME programs.
• The Agency conditioned Sycamore Square, a single- family housing development in the North Brentwood Project Area, to produce eight
inclusionary housing units. To comply with a portion of this condition, the developer and Agency staff are working together to rehab an
existing triplex in the Merged Redevelopment Project Area.
• In June 2003, the Agency approved a reimbursement agreement for the development of eight residential units in the Brentwood Project Area,
of which two units shall remain affordable to lower income households for no less than 55 years.
• Other ongoing affordable housing projects that are requesting Agency financial assistance include Habitat for Humanity’s Fairview Project,
Mercy Housing’s Villa Amador Apartments, Affordable Housing Development Corporation’s Arbor Ridge Apartments and Terra Nova’s
Brentwood Senior Commons.
City of Brentwood

City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xxix
• To further its mission in the upcoming 2003- 2004 year, the Agency will continue with its commercial, retail and industrial development
programs, business assistance programs, public improvement and facilities programs and the assistance and participation in the expansion and
improvement of the supply of very low, low and moderate income housing.
Risk Management
The City has initiated a limited risk management program for workers’ compensation and general liability. As part of this comprehensive plan,
resources are being accumulated in a fund balance reserve to meet potential losses. In addition, various risk control techniques, including
employee accident prevention training, have been implemented during the year to minimize accident- related losses. Effective with the renewal of
excess insurance policies on July 1, 2002, third- party coverage is currently maintained for workers’ compensation and risk liability claims up to
$ 350,000. Risk liability coverage is currently maintained and provides coverage in three tiers:
$ 1 million with 18 cities in primary insurance pool, with a $ 5,000 deductible;
$ 2 million excess $ 1 million in an excess self- insurance pool with 135 members;
Through the excess pool, CARMA , we have reinsurance to $ 15 million. This is with Am Re and would be $ 12 million plus $ 3 million.
Total liability coverage is $ 15 million, subject to a $ 10,000 deductible.
Independent Audit
The Government Code of the State of California requires general law cities, such as the City of Brentwood, to have its financial statements audited
by an independent certified public accountant. Accordingly, this year’s audit was completed by the accounting firm of Vavrinek, Trine, Day and
Co., LLP. In addition to meeting the requirements set forth in state statutes, the audit also was designed to meet the requirements of the Federal
Single Audit Act of 1984 and related OMB Circular A- 133. The auditor’s report on the general purpose financial statements is included in the
financial section hereof. The examination relating to the single audit was found to be under the limit and not needed for fiscal year 2002/ 03.
Certificate of Achievement
The Government Finance Officers Association ( GFOA) and California Society of Municipal Finance Officers ( CSMFO) both offer a recognition
program for public entities to determine whether the City conforms to the highest level of governmental accounting and financial reporting
standards. Its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management. If a city qualifies, a Certificate of
Achievement is awarded for a period of one year.
GFOA and CSMFO awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Brentwood for its Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, the City’s second CAFR. The Certificate of Achievement is a prestigious
national award recognizing conformance with the highest standards for preparation of state and local government financial reports.

Acknowledgements
I wish to thank the City Council for providing clear policy direction and goals that have been used to prepare this comprehensive annual financial
report. I would also like to express my appreciation to all City of Brentwood staff members who have taken the time to participate in the
development of the report. A great deal of effort and attention to detail has gone into the preparation of this document, representing many hours of
work by staff members throughout the organization. These dedicated members assisted and contributed to its preparation. Special recognition is
given to the Finance Department staff, and specifically Denise Davies, Gail Leech, Patti Bowden, Brian Kelleher, Pat Meyer and Liz Ybarra.
Their efforts made it possible to improve the quality of the information being reported to the citizens, the City Council, and other users on a much
timelier basis. Appreciation is also expressed to the Mayor, the City Council, and the City Manager for their interest and support in planning and
conducting the financial activities of the City in a responsible and responsive manner.
The City of Brentwood has a bright future ahead because of its committed elected leadership combined with the talents and ingenuity of the
individuals within this organization. One of the key components in securing this future is through a well- planned, long- term fiscal strategy, based
upon economic development that will generate high paying, long- term employment opportunities, new and stable sales tax revenue sources and
improved intergovernmental relations. City Council and staff have taken steps to plan and implement this long- term strategy.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Brentwood, California
We have audited the accompanying basic financial statements of the governmental activities, the business- type activities, each major fund, and the
aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Brentwood, California, ( City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2003, which collectively
comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These basic financial statements are the responsibility of the City's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these basic financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to
financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller 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 of material misstatements. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the basic financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the
governmental activities, the business- type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Brentwood,
California, as of June 30, 2003, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof for the year then ended
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR Page 2
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated October 30, 2003 on our consideration of the City’s
internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants. That
report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be read in conjunction with this
report in considering the results of our audit.
The Required Supplementary Information, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis and budgetary comparison information, as listed in
the table of contents, is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board. This Required Supplementary Information is the responsibility of the management of the City. We have applied
certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the
supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and accordingly, we do not express an opinion.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The combining and individual
fund financial statements and schedules listed in the table of contents are presented for purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of
the basic financial statements of the City. These financial statements and schedules are also the responsibility of the management of the City.
Such additional information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements, and in our opinion,
is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The scope of our audit did not
include the introductory section and statistical schedules listed in the table of contents and we do not express an opinion on them.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2003
City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR Page 3
This discussion and analysis of the City of Brentwood’s financial performance provides an overview of the City’s financial activities
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. Please read it in conjunction with the accompanying transmittal letter, the basic financial
statements and the accompanying notes to those financial statements.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The total assets of the City exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $ 363.9 million. Of this amount,
$ 43.6 million may be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
The City’s total net assets increased $ 74.1 million, primarily due to the completion of projects and acquisition of assets from
developers.
As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $ 70.4
million, a decrease of $ 1.4 million net in comparison to the prior year.
The City’s total long- term debt increased by $ 3.7 million. The increase is primarily the result of an increase in the State Water
Resources note payable.
The City’s Emergency Preparedness Fund has a balance of $ 5 million at year end, which is an increase of $ 3 million from the
prior year.
Overview of the Financial Statements
The financial statements presented herein include all of the activities of the City of Brentwood (“ the City”) and its component units
using the blended approach as prescribed by government accounting standards.
The Government- Wide Financial Statements present the financial picture of the City from the economic resources measurement
focus using the accrual basis of accounting. They present governmental activities and business type activities separately. These
statements include all assets of the City ( including infrastructure) as well as all liabilities ( including long- term debt). Additionally,
certain eliminations have occurred as prescribed by the statement in regards to interfund activity, payables and receivables.

Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2003
City of Brentwood - 2002/ 03 CAFR Page 4
The Fund Financial Statements include statements for each of the three categories of activities – governmental, business- type and
fiduciary. The governmental activities are prepared using the current financial resources measurement focus and modified accrual
basis of accounting. The business- type activities are prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis
of accounting. The fiduciary activities are agency funds, which only report a balance sheet and do not have a measurement focus.
Reconciliation of the Fund Financial Statements to the Government- Wide Financial Statements is provided to explain the differences
created by the integrated approach.
Government- Wide Financial Statements
The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets
The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets report information about the City as a whole
and about its activities. These statements include all assets and liabilities of the City using the accrual basis of accounting, which is
similar to the accounting used by most private- sector companies. All of the current year’s revenues and expenses are taken into
account regardless of when cash is received or paid.
These two statements report the City’s net assets and changes in them. Net assets are the difference between assets and liabilities,
which is one way to measure the City’s financial health, or financial position. Over time, increases or decreases in the City’s net
assets are one indicator of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating. Other factors to consider are changes in the
City’s property tax base and the condition of the City’s roads.
In the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets, we separate the City activities as follows:
Governmental Activities – Most of the City’s basic services are reported in this category including the General Government, Public
Safety, Community Development, Engineering, Public Works, Parks and Community Services. Property and sales taxes, user fees,
interest income, franchise fees and state and federal grants finance these activities.
City of Brentwood
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2003
City of Brentwood - 2002/ 03 CAFR Page 5
Business- Type Activities – The City charges a fee to customers to cover all or most of the cost of certain services it provides. The
City’s Wastewater, Solid Waste, Water, Parks and Recreation and City Rental activities are reported in this category.
Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements provide detailed information about the most significant funds – not the City as a whole. Some funds are
required to be established by State law and by bond covenants. However, management establishes many other funds to help it control
and manage money for particular purposes or to show that it is meeting legal responsibilities for using certain taxes, grants, and other
money.
Governmental Funds - Most of the City’s basic services are reported in governmental funds, which focus on how money flows into
and out of those funds and the balances left at year- end that are available for spending. These funds are reported using an accounting
method called modified accrual accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash.
The governmental fund statements provide a detailed short- term view of the City’s general government operations and the basic
services it provides. Governmental fund information helps determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be
spent in the near future to finance the City’s programs. The differences of results in the Governmental Fund financial statements to
those in the Government- Wide financial statements are explained in a reconciliation following each Governmental Fund financial
statement.
Proprietary Funds - When the City charges customers for the services it provides – whether outside customers or other units of the
City – these services are generally reported in proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are reported in the same way that all activities are
reported in the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets. In fact, the City’s
enterprise funds are the same as the business- type activities we report in the government- wide statements but provide more detail and
additional information, such as cash flows, for proprietary funds. We use internal service funds ( the other component of proprietary
funds) to report activities that provide supplies and services for the City’s other programs and activities – such as the City’s
Information Systems, Fleet Maintenance and Equipment Replacement Funds. The Internal Service funds are reported with
governmental activities in the Government- Wide financial statements.

Reporting the City’s Fiduciary Responsibilities
The City is the trustee, or fiduciary, for certain amounts held on behalf of developers, property owners, and others. The City’s
fiduciary activities are reported in separate Statements of Fiduciary Net Assets. We exclude these activities from the Government-
Wide financial statements because the City cannot use these assets to finance its operations. The City is responsible for ensuring that
the assets reported in these funds are used for their intended purposes.
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.
Other Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary
information concerning the City’s progress in funding its obligation to provide pension benefits to its employees, budgetary
comparison schedules for the general fund and each major special revenue fund.
GOVERNMENT- WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The net assets for the City as a whole increased 25.57% from $ 289.8 million at June 30, 2002 to $ 363.9 million at June 30, 2003. This
increase of $ 74.1 million comes from the change in net assets as recorded in the Statement of Activities and flows through the
Statement of Net Assets. Program expenses by function, general revenues by major source, excess and/ or deficiency of revenues over
expenses before contributions to fund principal, special, and extraordinary items, and total assets are presented in the Statement of
Activities and Changes in Net Assets.

Pro g ram Revenues
The cost of all Governmental activities this year was $ 36.8 million. However, as shown in the Statement of Activities, the amount that
the taxpayers ultimately financed for these activities was only $ 22.6 million because some of the cost was paid by those who directly
benefited from the programs ($ 13.9 million), or by other governments and organizations that subsidized certain programs with
operating grants and contributions ($. 2 million) and capital grants and contributions ($. 1 million). Community Development and
Engineering show net revenue of $ 3.2 and $ 2.8 million, respectively, which is the result of this aggressive growth. Overall, the City’s
governmental program revenues were $ 14.2 million. The City paid for the remaining “ public benefit” portion of governmental
activities with $ 13.3 million in taxes ( some of which could only be used for certain programs) and with other revenues, such as
interest and general entitlements.
Total resources available during the year to finance governmental operations were $ 262.2 million consisting of Net Assets at July 1,
2002 of $ 183.6 million, program revenues of $ 14.2 million and general revenues of $ 64.4 million. Total Governmental Activities
during the year were $ 36.8 million; thus Net Assets were increased by $ 41.8 million to $ 225.4 million.

and Engineering Funds moving to the General Fund.
The Capital Projects Funds decreased by $ 2,905,265 from the prior year, this is attributable to the aggressive building program the
City has adopted.
Internal Service Funds show an increase in Net Assets of $ 5,936,903. The City has been able to continue to fully fund all the

CASH MANAGEMENT
The City invests temporarily idle cash in accordance with the Government Code and a formal investment policy approved by the City
Council. This policy limits investments to certain types of instruments and requires that investments must meet established criteria for
safety, liquidity and yield. As of June 30, 2003, investments ( not including investments with fiscal agent) totaled $ 130.6 million of
which $ 56.4 was invested in the California State Local Agency Investment Fund ( LAIF) and $ 74.2 in other investments managed by
Public Financial Management ( PFM). The portfolio managed by Public Financial Management is in full compliance with California
Government Code Section 53601 and the City’s investment policy.
The City’s investment policy is to minimize credit and market risks while maintaining a competitive yield on its portfolio.
Accordingly, deposits were either insured by federal depository insurance or collateralized, with all collateral held either by the City,
its agent, or a financial institution’s trust department in the City’s name. All investments held by the government during the year and
at June 30, 2003, are classified in the category of lowest credit risk as defined by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
To obtain flexibility in cash management, the City employs a pooled cash system ( Reference Note 3 in the Notes to the Basic
Financial Statements). Under the pooled cash concept, the City invests the cash of all funds with maturities planned to coincide with
cash needs. Idle cash is invested in certain eligible securities as constrained by law and further limited by the City’s Investment
Policy. The goals of the City’s Investment Policy are safety, liquidity and yield.
CAPITAL ASSETS
The capital assets of the City are those assets which are used in the performance of the City’s functions including infrastructure assets.
At June 30, 2003, capital assets net of accumulated depreciation of the governmental activities totaled $ 184,849,115 and capital assets
net of accumulated depreciation of the business- type activities totaled $ 148,205,105. Depreciation on capital assets is recognized in
the Government- Wide financial statements. Detailed information regarding Capital Assets can be found in Notes to the Basic
Financials.

Beginning Balance + Supplemental Changes = Final Budget
$ 26,673,536 + 4,274,503 = $ 30,948,039
Supplemental General Fund budget changes include the following:
• $ 4,102,000 in General Obligation Bond monies transferred to the Police Station Project.
• $ 275,000 transfer to the Parks Enterprise Fund approved at mid- year budget review.
• ($ 102,497) in various budget adjustments approved at mid- year budget review.
ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGETS AND RATES
The key assumptions in the General Fund revenue forecast for fiscal year 2003/ 04 were:
1. The Property Tax revenue estimate of $ 3,664,727 for fiscal year 2003/ 04 is 20% above the 2002/ 03 budgeted amount.
2. Sales Tax revenues are expected to increase by 28%. This increase is forecasted because of an anticipated rise in local
economic activity and new businesses locating in Brentwood.
3. The 20% increase in Franchise Fees is due to population growth and commercial development.
4. Investment earnings will increase an estimated $ 600,000 due to Brentwood’s continued increase in consumer confidence and
exponential growth with new home construction and the addition of several large chain outlets on the frontier.
5. Approximately 1000 new housing units will be constructed.
6. Business License revenues are estimated to increase for fiscal year 2003/ 04 to $ 300,000, which is 182% above the 2002/ 03
budgeted amount. This projected increase is due to the new business license tax that was passed by the voters in November
2002, new businesses that are expected to come to Brentwood and continued code enforcement.
New items specifically addressed in the 2003/ 04 budget were:
Public Safety - The City Council has put Public Safety as one of its priorities and is committed to make Brentwood one of the safest
cities in California. Safe streets and low crime rates attract growth in both residential and business development. FY 2003/ 04
City of Brentwood

includes hiring four ( 4) sworn positions. This will bring sworn staffing levels in the Police Department to 56. Additionally, $ 432,000
was budgeted for Fire Department/ EMT service.
Recreational and Cultural - As the population of Brentwood continues to grow, the City is committed to expanding both the park
and recreational programs and facilities to meet the increased need for the constructive use of leisure time. For seniors, the City has
assisted the formation of a non- profit Senior Advisory Board to assist and advise the City in the expansion of senior programs. The
City of Brentwood Youth Commission is moving forward with a number of projects to better inform and serve the needs of the youth
in our community. Continued support for the PAL Program, Dimes- A- Ride, Woman’s Club and the Library were included in the
budget. The City is also committed to the expansion of family activities, which include an expansion of the free Summer Concerts
Under the Stars, held in the City Park on Friday nights, and a joint project with the Brentwood Police Activities League to sponsor two
after school enrichment programs for elementary and middle school students.
Levels of Service - In light of budget pressures stemming from the general economy and looming state takeaways, the City of
Brentwood strived to maintain or surpass its current levels of service. This goal was aided by increasing salaries which will allow the
City to hire and keep quality staff.
Community Development - A comprehensive review and update of the complete Zoning Ordinance is planned to bring it into
conformance with contemporary zoning standards, make it user friendly and to clear up any inconsistencies. A Downtown, Brentwood
Boulevard and Empire Triangle Specific Plan, as directed by the General Plan, was developed to maintain and enhance the vitality of
these areas by establishing comprehensive policies to guide long term use, urban design, parking, development standards and
economic development.
Business License - The City of Brentwood has developed additional revenue from business license tax by citizens passing Measure D,
which increased our tax by moving to gross receipts. This revenue is significant because it is not considered discretionary and
therefore is not subject to state take away.
Retail Expansion - Sand Creek Crossing, a 260,000 square foot community center, is complete and will offer the far- east county
population shopping opportunities that have not been present in the region. Lone Tree Plaza, a 454,000 square foot community center,
Lone Tree Center, an 180,000 square foot community center and three neighborhood centers totaling 220,000 square feet are in

various stages of construction will be complete in late 2003. These six projects, totaling 1,114,000 square feet, will generate
approximately $ 3,000,000 in sales tax when complete.
Economic Development/ Redevelopment - The budget focuses on the following items:
• Public infrastructure and improvement within the Redevelopment Project Areas
• Support of reinvestment projects in Downtown
• Downtown Parking Study
• Development of multi- level retail/ restaurant/ parking facility at Oak and Walnut
• Implementing the Manufacturing Attraction Program
• Redevelopment Agency housing programs
Facility Development - The current City Hall functions are overcrowded. Two projects are underway to alleviate this problem in the
short- term. The first project is the expansion and renovation of the City Hall facility at 120 Oak Street to accommodate the
Engineering department. The second project is the renovation of the existing City Hall to accommodate the remaining City functions.
In order to provide a permanent City Hall to house all appropriate City functions in an effective and productive environment, the City
is designing and constructing a new City Hall in the vicinity of the existing City Hall.
Emergency Preparedness Fund - FY 2002/ 03 represents the second year the City will have the Emergency Preparedness fund
totaling $ 5,000,000. Having this fund underscores City Council’s continued commitment to be prepared for a critical incident or
catastrophic event in the future.
Vehicle License Fees - This approximately $ 1.9 million revenue source is not safe from State takeaway due to continuing budget
uncertainty on the State level. We are concerned that the State may act further to lower the amount of the fee that local governments
receive. The State makes up the balance of the vehicle license fee from its general fund, thereby trading one of our rather constant
revenue sources for one subject to the impulse of the State legislature. This revenue has been reduced in anticipation of State budget
cuts.

This is the second year that the City’s Finance Department has prepared this report using the new reporting requirements as prescribed by GASB Statement No. 34. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the City. To the best of City Staff’s knowledge and belief, the enclosed data are accurate in all material respects and are reported in a manner designed to fairly present the financial position and results of operations of the various entities of the City of Brentwood. All disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the City’s financial activities have been included. In addition to fund- by- fund financial information currently presented in the City’s financial statements, we are now including government- wide financial statements. The government- wide financial statements include a Statement of Net Assets that provides the total net assets of the City including infrastructure and the Statement of Net Activities that shows the cost of providing government services. These statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting versus the modified accrual method used in the fund financial statements. A reconciliation report is provided as a key to understanding the changes between the two reporting methods. In addition, the new reporting model includes an emphasis on the City’s major funds as shown in the Governmental Fund Statements. These new statements combined with other information are further analyzed in a new narrative section called Management’s Discussion and Analysis ( MD& A). The MD& A provides “ financial highlights” and interprets the financial reports by analyzing trends and by explaining changes, fluctuations and variances in the financial data. In addition, the MD& A is intended to disclose any known significant events or decisions that affect the financial condition of the City.

This report is presented in three sections as follows: 1. INTRODUCTORY SECTION - Letter of Transmittal with comments on the operations of the City, the City’s organizational chart and a list of principal public officials and administrative personnel; 2. FINANCIAL SECTION - Basic Financial Statements and Required Supplementary Information - The Basic Financial Statements include Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Government- Wide Financial Statements, Fund Financial Statements, Notes to the Financial Statements and Required Supplementary Information, as well as the Auditors’ Report on the financial statements and schedules. The City of Brentwood also includes an additional Supplementary Section that contains the Combining Fund Financial Statements and is not a required section of the report; and 3. STATISTICAL SECTION – Selected financial and demographic information, generally presented on a multi- year basis. REPORTING ENTITY In addition to reporting directly for the City operations, two component units, the Brentwood Redevelopment Agency and Brentwood Joint Powers Financing Authority, have been included in the primary reporting entity and are treated as blended component units. The Brentwood Redevelopment Agency ( the “ Agency”) was established pursuant to the State of California Health and Safety Code, Section 33000, entitled “ Community Redevelopment Law” and on August 20, 1981 the City Council became the governing board of the Brentwood Redevelopment Agency. The Agency was formed for the purpose of preparing and carrying out plans for improvement, rehabilitation and redevelopment of blighted areas within the territorial limits of the City of Brentwood. The funds of the Agency have been included in the governmental activities in the financial statements. The Brentwood Joint Powers Financing Authority ( the “ Authority”) is a joint powers authority organized under Section 6500 et seq. of the California Government Code on March 14, 1995 between the City and the Agency for the purpose of acting as a vehicle for various financing activities of the City and the Agency. The Authority’s Board of Directors is the Brentwood City Council. The primary purpose of the Authority is to render financial assistance to the City and the Agency by issuing debt and financing the construction of public facilities. Blended component units, although legally separate entities are, in substance, part of the government’s operations and so data from these units are combined with data of the primary government. Each of the blended components has a June 30 year- end date for accounting purposes. City of Brentwood Letter of Transmittal City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xii Bay Area Accounting for all of the City’s activities is centralized under the Finance Department. The department has been delegated the responsibility for maintaining the integrity of the City’s recorded financial data. In fulfilling this responsibility, the Finance Department has prepared the accompanying financial statements. In our professional judgment, these statements fairly and accurately reflect the financial position of the City and the results of its operations. This financial report includes all of the City’s funds and account groups. The City provides a full range of services. These services include police services, public works, economic development, planning, building, engineering and inspection services, parks and recreation, and general administrative services. The City also operates a public water and wastewater utility, as well as refuse collection, which includes disposal and a recycling program. BACKGROUND The City of Brentwood was incorporated in 1948 as a general law city under the laws of the State of California. Brentwood is located halfway between the cities of San Francisco and Sacramento at the eastern portion of Contra Costa County. The City is governed by a five ( 5) member City Council, under the Council – Manager form of government. As of June 30, 2003, the City has a current population of approximately 33,364 and encompasses approximately 13.73 square miles. FINANCIAL DATA Providing reliable financial information requires the establishment of accounting records adequately supported by systems of internal control. The City’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the City’s assets are protected from loss, theft, or misuse. They must also ensure that adequate accounting data is compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met, while recognizing that this assurance is not absolute. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that: ( 1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and ( 2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. City administration believes the existing internal control systems are adequate to provide this reasonable assurance that City assets are safeguarded against loss and that financial records are reliable for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets. Furthermore, the City received the second “ Unqualified” Audit this past year. The accompanying financial statements have been examined by Vavrinek, Trine, Day and Co., LLP, Certified Public Accountants. The firm was engaged by the City Council to render an opinion on the City’s financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. City of Brentwood Letter of Transmittal City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xiii The City Council is responsible for: 1. Assuring that City administration fulfills its responsibilities in the preparation of the financial statements; and 2. Engaging the certified public accountants with whom the City Council reviews the scope of the audits and the accounting principles to be applied in financial reporting. To ensure complete independence, Vavrinek, Trine, Day and Co., LLP has full and free access to meet with the City Council to discuss the results of their assessment of the adequacy of internal accounting controls and the quality of financial reporting. The City also maintains budgetary controls. The objective of these budgetary controls is to ensure compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriated budget approved by the City Council. Activities of the general fund, special revenue funds, debt service funds, enterprises and capital projects funds are included in the annual appropriated budget, except the Bypass Authority, Mark Roos Drainage Credit, Street Improvement Projects, Capital Improvement 2001, Capital Projects and the Capital Improvement Financing Programs. The level of budgetary control is established at the fund level. The City also maintains an encumbrance accounting system as one technique for accomplishing budgetary control. These budgets reflect an organization whose top priorities continue to be: • Provide and build public facilities • Provide and maintain an adequate public infrastructure • Plan and manage growth to maintain and enhance our small town character • Enhance and promote Brentwood’s economic vitality • Provide friendly customer service The Operating Budget maintains a stable financial environment for the City of Brentwood. The decisions made in the budget process emphasize the City Council’s goals and objectives. Staff will continue to pursue all means available to achieve the City’s Mission Statement: The City of Brentwood is dedicated to creating, maintaining and enhancing a well- planned community that is friendly, safe and healthy for everyone. Mission Statement Adopted January 5, 2001. The City’s accounting records are maintained on the Accrual Basis, or Modified Accrual Basis, as appropriate. Budgets are prepared and expenditures recorded at the object of expenditure level. A thorough explanation of the City’s funds as of June 30, 2003, and the results of each fund’s operation for the year, are presented in the financial section of this report. City of Brentwood Letter of Transmittal City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xiv BRENTWOOD TODAY Fiscal Year 2002/ 03 saw positive economic news for the City of Brentwood with growth in population, residential construction, sales and median family home prices, and rapidly accelerating commercial/ industrial development as follows: Population increased over last year by 5.92% Single family home construction increased over last year by 20.69% ( 1,160 permits issued in 2001/ 02; 1,400 permits issued in 2002/ 03) New Home sales – 1,188 Existing home sales - 861 Median price for existing homes is $ 342,750, up 16.19% from FY 2001/ 02 Median price for new homes is $ 394,500, up 12.23% from FY 2001/ 02 462,000 square feet of retail shopping center space under construction Number of Single Family Units Built vs. Value of Construction 0 200 400 600 800 1,000 1,200 1,400 1,600 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 Fiscal Year Ending Units $- $ 50,000,000 $ 100,000,000 $ 150,000,000 $ 200,000,000 $ 250,000,000 $ 300,000,000 Value ( in Millions) Number of Units Valuation City of Brentwood Letter of Transmittal City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xv ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK Until recently, Brentwood was a small rural agricultural community and is one of the fastest growing cities in California. The need for housing in the Bay Area in the early 1990’ s prompted Brentwood’s growth at a rate of 10% to 18% per year. The City’s population has increased steadily over the last fiscal year as predicted, and the development of single- family homes, commercial sites and infrastructure reflects the increase in this expanding population. The City issued 1,400 building permits for single- family homes during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2003. To keep up with the growth demands, infrastructure was also at a high level with several projects at various stages of design, construction or completion for the year. There was significant progress in Brentwood’s economic development during Fiscal Year 2002/ 03. Prior planning efforts materialized in the construction of several commercial projects that will provide our residents convenient goods and services and local jobs. This commercial growth is fueled by the maturation of the socio- economic demographic of our far- east county sub- region, defined as lands in Contra Costa County to the south and east of Somersville Road in Antioch. Approximately 180,700 people reside in the area with a median annual household income of $ 70,000 in the City of Brentwood. This represents a critical mass of population and disposable income that will attract an estimated 1,200,000 square feet of retail space within the next year. A survey of Brentwood’s residents indicates that the far- east county population is highly trained and educated providing an available workforce for business activities. The median value of housing in the sub- region is $ 271,430 providing an affordable housing stock with certain areas providing executive homes in the $ 600,000 plus price range. Sand Creek Crossing, a 260,000 square foot commercial center, is complete and will offer the far- east county population shopping opportunities that have not been present in the region. Lone Tree Plaza, a 454,000 square foot commercial center, Lone Tree Center, an 180,000 square foot commercial center and three neighborhood centers totaling 220,000 square feet are in various stages of construction and will be complete by the end of FY 2003. These six projects, totaling 1,114,000 square feet, will generate approximately $ 3,000,000 in sales tax when complete. Brentwood is blessed with a vital, thriving and charming historical Downtown. Recent businesses that have located in the district have included restaurants, unique retail and personal services. These types of business activity provide a tenant mix that cannot be found in typical suburban shopping centers and anchor classic Downtown settings. The vacancy rate is an enviable 0%. This atmosphere provides a pleasant backdrop to successful concerts in the park and street festivals. The Office / R& D / Flex- Tech Industrial sector increased significantly with the construction of four new projects totaling 135,000 square feet. Leasing and sales of these projects has been very brisk with the latest real estate assessment indicating less than 3% vacancy in this sector. Sand Creek Crossing City of Brentwood Letter of Transmittal City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xvi The Sunset Industrial Complex, a 28- acre medium industrial project that will be sold to multiple end- users, is in its final stages of construction. Interest in the complex is significant and it appears there are more businesses wanting to locate here than can be accommodated. Preliminary estimates indicate that the complex will accommodate approximately 14 businesses. The Economic Development Department also advanced two important capital improvement projects. A 17,000 square foot campus for Los Medanos College was completed and occupied in September 2001 providing a full AA degree curriculum for our residents. Five hundred full time equivalent students were served in the second year of operation at the Campus. The City also constructed an adjacent 17,000 square foot Business and Technology Incubator to provide an affordable workplace for our resident entrepreneurs. Currently, the Incubator has twenty- four start- up business tenants. FUTURE OUTLOOK Far East County communities, located along the State Route 4 corridor, have all experienced significant residential growth over the last ten years. Many Bay Area residents have sought more affordable housing options than were provided in the inner Bay Area. As the region has grown, the Far East County has transformed from a primarily industrial and agricultural sub- region to a series of bedroom communities for employment centers in the Bay Area, including San Francisco, the Silicon Valley, the Tri- Valley, and Contra Costa County. For the City of Brentwood, the shift has, for the most part, been from an agricultural community to a bedroom community. Employment growth has occurred in conjunction with resident growth, though primarily in resident- serving industry sectors, including retail and certain service sectors. A few new firms have stepped in to replace the “ basic industry” role of agriculture in exporting goods and services beyond the local area, catalyzing the generation of new wealth in the City. Building to support this trend is expected to continue with 150,000 square feet of new Office / R& D / Flex- Tech Industrial construction anticipated to occur in the next year. Professional services are also increasing the quality of life for Brentwood residents. John Muir Medical, a fully entitled medical office project, will be constructing a three- story 110,000 square foot medical facility and helicopter pad in Phase I of their development in 2004. The adoption of the Residential Growth Management Program ( RGMP) on July 6, 2001 aids in regulating Brentwood’s growth. The intent of the RGMP is to limit new housing approvals to 650 units per year in order to align our residential growth to coincide with future infrastructure. The RGMP also ensures compliance with our fair share of regional housing set by the Association of Bay Area Governments ( ABAG), and ensures growth at a deliberate and well- planned pace. Artist Rendering – John Muir Medical City of Brentwood Letter of Transmittal City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xvii The Affordable Housing Program was adopted September 9, 2003, and will provide the following future conditions: • Creates affordable housing by constructing 10% of all new dwelling units as affordable housing for very- low and low income households. • Will provide affordable housing options for workforce while reducing congestion on regional roadways by eliminating commutes. • Units must remain affordable for 45 years for ownership units, 55 years for rentals. • Units must be integrated into each neighborhood and must be built with the same quality, fit and finish as market rate units. Alternatives to construction of affordable units include dedication of vacant land, conversion of market rate units to affordable units, dedication of affordable units to the City and in- lieu fees ( fees sufficient to build the required units). DEVELOPMENT COMPLETED PROJECTS: • The City completed and opened five ( 5) new neighborhood parks ( Balfour- Guthrie, Berkshire, Miwok, Rolling Hills and Walnut). • The Youth Commission completed Phase I of their Youth Master Plan – a Teen Crisis Referral card that was distributed to Edna Hill Middle School, Bristow Middle School and Liberty High School. • The Arts Commission hosted the first annual “ Day in the Park” Art and Wine Festival in October. This event attracted approximately 5,000 people. • The Arts Commission hosted quarterly art shows/ exhibits at the Brentwood Education & Technology Center. • The City’s tree nursery doubled in size with the addition of 500 new seedlings being planted. The City has planted the trees with the assistance of community volunteers and will raise the trees for future planting in public areas. • The City assisted a doctoral candidate that lives and works in the East Bay in the completion of his dissertation research that involved a study which surveyed staff and volunteers from the Parks and Recreation Department.

The merger was effective July 1, 2003. • The merger of last years nine Wednesday night with the four Friday night Concerts in the Park evolved this year into eleven total concerts on Friday nights with two of the acts as headliners and the remaining as local Bay Area talent. This venture was accepted by the community with great response and enjoyment of the musical arts. City of Brentwood Tree Nursery City of Brentwood Letter of Transmittal City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xviii Creekside Park • Greenleaf Mapping and Control Systems was hired to perform water audits on all landscaped areas that the City maintains. They also provided digitized maps of the same area. • City staff and MCE Corporation have developed a computerized landscape inspection form. This form, used on hand- held PDAs, is used on all landscaped areas maintained by our landscape contractor and City staff. • The Parks Services Manager and Recreation Services Manager have established regular monthly liaison meetings with Brentwood Union School District to coordinate joint use of City and School District Facilities. • The City of Brentwood hired West Coast Arborists to inventory all City maintained trees. This inventory is updated as any work is performed on any of these trees. • The Second Street parking lot was completed, adding a total of 52 parking spaces for downtown parking, reducing congestion for businesses, City employees and residents. • Completion of annual Pavement Management Program. This project consists of surveying roadways every three years and then reconstructing, overlaying, surface and crack sealing various roads each year. The City’s pavement management software selects those streets that are most cost effective to do preventive maintenance on for the year. • Sand Creek Road Central - Construction of the central section of Sand Creek Road from the Highway 4 Bypass to Minnesota Avenue is completed. Completion of this project will improve access to the commercial areas of the City from the Highway 4 Bypass by providing a major east- west connector. • Continued enhancement of the Geographic Information System ( GIS) program, providing more information to the City and to our residents. • Updated the Water, Wastewater and Non- Potable Water Master Plans. • Brentwood Boulevard and Almond Street sewer and water improvements completed. CURRENT PROJECTS / PROJECTS UNDER CONSTRUCTION • Several neighborhood parks are starting construction for opening in the 2003/ 2004 fiscal year. These parks include Oak Meadow, Heron Park, and Black Gold Park. In addition, various pocket parks will open throughout new developments in the Northwest Quadrant area. • Construction of the expansion of Sunset Park Athletic Complex is underway. The expansion will increase the current 10- acre site to 37.8 acres and will include a four-field softball complex, two baseball fields, three full- size soccer fields, and one competition soccer field. An equestrian staging area, children’s play area and two concession stands will provide for a wide range of multi- use opportunities. • Design has been completed and the Balfour Road Park is out to bid. This park will include a group picnic area, sand volleyball court, a children’s play area, and a restroom arrayed around a large plaza that has been designed to accommodate a wide range of public functions. This park will also have competition bocce ball courts with oyster shell surfacing and a large area of open turf. City of Brentwood Letter of Transmittal City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xix • The City is working with Liberty Union High School District on four joint- use community projects: Renovation of the Liberty Union High School football field into a year- round surface/ all weather track; construction of a 50- meter pool at Heritage High School; construction of a joint- use gymnasium at Heritage High School; and provision of underground conduit for future sports lighting of athletic fields at Heritage High School. • Public works started construction of a 10,000+ square foot building at 325 Sunset Road that will house the purchasing/ receiving/ warehouse and the mechanics shop.

This project also consists of the bridge widening over Marsh Creek. • Lone Tree Way – Union Pacific Undercrossing – This project will construct a grade separation underpass consisting of six travel lanes crossing under the Union Pacific Railroad. This project will drastically increase public safety by creating a grade separation crossing of the railroad, instead of the present at- grade crossing. • Lone Tree Way Widening from 400 feet west of O’Hara Avenue to Brentwood Boulevard– This project will improve traffic safety and reduce congestion along Lone Tree Way by widening the roadway to two lanes in each direction and installing left- turn lanes. • Sunset Industrial Complex - Construction began in the Summer of 2002 for the City’s first major redevelopment effort. It is intended to relocate heavy industrial uses from Brentwood Boulevard to a more appropriate location. This includes annexing the area into the Redevelopment Area and coordination with solid waste, a relocated corporation yard, the Wastewater Treatment Plant and a 37.8 acre sports part. This project will increase available industrial land, upgrade the Brentwood Boulevard streetscape by removing industrial users and increase the Redevelopment Agency’s tax increment flow. • Sunset Road Realignment - Sunset Road will be realigned in a due east- west direction along the north side of the EBMUD Aqueduct to intersect with Brentwood Boulevard at the Grant Street signal. The project includes the construction of a bridge over Marsh Creek, water and non- potable water and fiber optic line improvements. • Sand Creek Road East - Construction of the eastern section of Sand Creek Road from Minnesota Avenue to Brentwood Boulevard. At its completion, it will provide another major east- west corridor for traffic circulation in the City. It will connect the Highway 4 Bypass to the existing Highway 4 ( Brentwood Boulevard). • The City is currently involved in providing a new police station that will accommodate the growth and needs of the City. • The City is currently involved in the design and construction planning of a new City Hall. City of Brentwood Letter of Transmittal City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xx FINANCING FUTURE INFRASTRUCTURE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FINANCING PROGRAMS: Capital Improvement Financing Programs ( CIFP) are a mechanism through which the City and the Development Community cooperate to fund and construct major Master Planned and Sub- Master Planned infrastructure ( roads, water and wastewater lines, regional drainage facilities, etc.). The City is able to obtain very low interest rates through its outstanding financial reputation and bonds are sold using the participating Developer’s property as the collateral. There is no risk involved for the City as a 3 to 1 value to lien ratio is used to determine the amount of bonds to be sold. As the properties develop, the bonds are repaid by the new property owner over a 30- year period. The most recent CIFP the City has funded was CIFP 2002- 1. Items to be constructed or funded through CIFP 2002- 1 are: Lone Tree Way Segments 1 and 2, Fairview Avenue reconstruction and realignment, Master Planned storm drain facilities along the Lone Tree Way Corridor, Sycamore Avenue extension, Minnesota Avenue improvement and the extension of Garin Parkway. The total amount of the bond sale was $ 16,585,000. DEPARTMENT REVIEW In the CITY MANAGER’S office, the City’s Administrative functions are expanding to fill the ever- growing needs of the community. The establishment of an Assistant City Manager is the result of the City recognizing the needs in these areas. The Assistant City Manager will oversee the Human Resources Division, provide staff assistance to various City Council Subcommittees, oversight of the franchise agreements, and work on special projects assigned by the City Manager and the City Council. The Assistant City Manager will also serve as a communications liaison for the City and its citizens. The overriding goal of the department is to secure and strengthen the long- term economic vitality of the City, while securing a small town atmosphere for our residents. The CITY CLERK’S office completed the Laserfiche update for the Agenda Manager. Currently in progress is an update to the Website with the addition of a Web Link to the City Council and RDA agendas. The City Clerk’s office is also spearheading a Workflow Suite implementation that allows for the tracking of all projects on a global level. In addition, the City Clerk staff developed strategies for updating and converting the filing system for the City’s permanent and vital records located in the vault. This allows for the safekeeping and easy retrieval of documents. The City has also introduced new conveniences for its residents through establishing passport application and processing services at City Hall. The CITY ATTORNEY has been consulted on numerous issues that could have results in claims, disputes, mediation, or litigation. In an attempt to resolve issues before they reach the need for dispute resolution, the City has employed an in- house attorney to better respond to these possible issues. As of June 30, 2003, the City has had ten cases filed against it and three claims. These cases are being vigorously defended by the City. City of Brentwood Letter of Transmittal City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xxi During the past year, the City Attorney has acted with other department heads to provide opinions concerning new development fees, respond to claims, resolve challenges to various city projects, and daily operating issues. The City expects to continue to employ an in- house counsel to better provide daily legal advice and opinion concerning on- going city projects, operations and compliance with statutory procedures. The FINANCE DEPARTMENT compiled and developed the City’s second CAFR. The 2001/ 02 CAFR was a monumental task as it served two purposes – an amplification of the understanding of the City’s financial status under the new reporting requirements as prescribed by GASB Statement No. 34, and a savings in the preparation and publishing of the report for the second time. The 2001/ 02 CAFR received the California Society of Municipal Finance Officer’s Certificate of Award for Outstanding Financial Reporting and the Government Finance Officers Association Certificate of Award for Excellence in Financial Reporting. The CAFR has become a very useful document made available to residents and interested parties. Annual budgets and Capital Improvement Program budgets are prepared to enable the City to plan, comply with the legal limit that the City can expend on funds, monitor the flow of resources, and to allow end of period evaluations for reporting to the legislative bodies. Through a concerted effort of gathering and verifying facts, the Finance Department continues to compile reliable data for the Legislative body, for the City, and for its residents. In addition, a Cost Allocation Plan is prepared annually to present an analysis of the computation of overhead charges for City- wide and department programs. It also provides the framework for computing specific user fees and charges such as Building, Electrical, Plumbing and Mechanical Permit fees; Engineering, Police, Parks & Recreation, Utility Billing, Facilities, Business Tax and Administration Fees; Water, Solid Waste, Wastewater and Solid Waste Enterprise Rates to name a few. In an effort to minimize the cost and the time required to produce annual Budgets and the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, the Finance Department has created its own publishing center – streamlining the gathering of data for the reports and utilizing current manpower and equipment to produce these extensively detailed reports. The result of this publishing center is a start to finish product created entirely in house, including the processing of CDs on all adopted documents. The City amended its fifty- four year old Business License Tax and Regulations, as set forth in Ordinance No. 707. Measure D was passed by General Vote on November 5, 2002, and subsequent adoption by Council. The new tax ordinance allows the City’s business license fee and regulations to be comparable to adjacent cities, provide for an equitable basis and rate, require all businesses to pay a business license fee, and provide a consistent general fund revenue for such vital services as police services. The City of Brentwood has contracted with an outside service to assist in the preparation of a 10 year fiscal model. The City will develop a strategic plan for the next ten years that will enable us to continue our long run of fiscal health. The initial tasks have been to provide assistance to representatives within all the departments to improve accuracy within the individual departmental projections. These projections will relate City of Brentwood Community Center City of Brentwood Letter of Transmittal City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xxii alternative economic and marketing input scenarios so as to enable the core team and Council to consider the short term and the long term implications of alternatively likely economic and growth futures. Finance continues to be a facilitator in the formation and administration of all Lighting and Landscape Districts, Assessment Districts and the new Community Facilities District. Bond documentation was completed on refunding CIFP 98- 1, 99- 1 ( a savings of over $ 1.9 million in new funds for infrastructure) and on CIFP 2002- 1. Bond closing for RDA, Roadway & Tech Center was completed at $ 3.2 million. Annual bond disclosure was completed on CIFP 2001, 2001 General Obligation Bond and Water and Sewer Bond. The Information Systems Division of the Finance Department continues to keep the City’s technology up to date by providing regular software updates such as PC upgrades to Windows 2000 and upgrading the server to Windows 2000 domain. Information Systems has also installed anti-spam hardware and software and an internet monitoring appliance. Fiber optics are being installed throughout the City that connects City buildings and increases the wireless speed five fold. Information Systems continues to maintain a center that makes state of the art equipment available, which is the City’s Business Technology Center that houses a Usability Lab to be used by businesses to test their products. The lab features a state- of- the- art technology system designed to attract Bay Area companies and is available for collegiate courses. The City makes available via the internet our City Budgets and CAFRs. An E- Commerce site has been added where people will be able to register and pay for Parks & Recreation classes on line. In addition, anyone can now subscribe to the current agendas, watch live Council meetings on the Web and access past and current Council agendas and meetings. The City of Brentwood website features City Council items, RDA, Boards and Commissions, City Department and General Information. Very helpful items have been incorporated into the website, including Road Conditions, Capital Improvement projects, Web page information translated into Spanish, Public Notices, Children’s Place, Municipal codes, a Map room guided by our GIS system, the City temperature and helpful links to local, community, state and federal sites. The City has automated its way of processing service requests by making them accessible on line. Internally, computer service requests are transmitted instantly. More importantly, work service requests for residents for Parks and Maintenance, Public Works and Utility Billing are now available over the Internet and transmitted to the intended department rather quickly. Work service requests are tended to in the most efficient time possible. Further, the new hire process has now been automated through our intranet and e- mail system, allowing for completion of all new hire information and workstation set up prior to the employee coming on board. An on- line office supply ordering system is in progress. The Finance Department is also currently looking for a new computer accounting package. The City Information Systems Communications Policy is currently under review, scheduled for council approval toward year end. This will be the first comprehensive policy of this nature that will cover computers, e- mail, voice mail and all other aspects of City- related communications. City of Brentwood Letter of Transmittal City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xxiii The Utility Billing Division of the Finance Department accomplished two major goals in the 2002/ 03 Fiscal Year. The utility billing process was converted into four cycles per month whereby billing is broken down by zone and payment is due 25 days following the billing date. This new cycle has enhanced customer service levels, allowing for the timely generation of bills and payment processing. In addition, Utility Billing has now implemented formal payment arrangements for water/ sewer/ garbage bills in situations where water will be or has been disconnected due to financial hardship. The customer is required to complete and sign specific payment arrangements and is required to bring the account current within 6 months. Payment arrangements can only occur once in a 12- month period. No further penalties will be incurred on the past- due charges during the repayment period, but the customer is required to keep their current charges up to date while re- paying the past- due amount. The Grants Division of the Finance Department submitted 15 grant proposals in this fiscal year totaling $ 5,441,986. Ten grant proposals were awarded, totaling $ 1,739,490, which were used for roadway landscaping, Parks & Recreation projects, Waste Management, Traffic Congestion Relief and Safety. Future plans call for the expansion of the City’s grant writing efforts that will increase to citywide from what has been an engineering effort for infrastructure. The challenge for this grant writing effort is not to lose the very successful infrastructure effort while expanding the scope. The BRENTWOOD POLICE DEPARTMENT continues its commitment to deliver high quality law enforcement services to a growing community. Community programs include Neighborhood Watch, Red Ribbon Week, Vacation Watch, Tell- A- Cop, R. A. V. E., Operation Identification, and the Community Identification Program. Every other year the police department presents the “ Every Fifteen Minutes” program to 11th and 12th grade students. The two- day presentation involves the “ staging” of a drunken driving fatal collision which takes students through the dramatized consequences of drinking and driving. Program participants include students, parents, teachers, public safety personnel and medical service providers. Responding to emergency calls for service remains a high priority. In addition to the typical police car, officers may also be assigned to either foot, bicycle or off- road motorcycle patrol. Three motorcycle officers are assigned to traffic enforcement including commercial vehicles and collision prevention. A SWAT team has been established to respond to critical incidents. Implementing and keeping current on new technologies has allowed the Department to become more efficient in its operations and service to the public. Detectives are using new technologies, such as “ computer forensics,” to investigate Internet and other computer- related crimes. The Police Department actively collaborates and participates with outreach groups on a variety of issues including domestic violence, gang involvement, hate crimes, substance abuse, victim assistance, mental illness and the homeless. City of Brentwood Letter of Transmittal City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xxiv Youth activities focus on giving kids positive direction and mentoring. The Police Activities League ( PAL) continues to grow and expand their program variety. The Brentwood Police Explorer Scouting program offers teenagers an opportunity to be involved in their community, work with officers and explore a career in law enforcement. The Police Department continues to grow and evolve to meet the needs of our community. Personnel have been added and trained to provide faster service for Livescan, child safety seat installations and processing counter requests. The recruitment of top quality police applicants to our City has been extremely effective through the use of innovative hiring incentives that encourage officers to work and live in Brentwood. The Police Department is also active in county- wide emergency service groups including the Office of Emergency Services Operation Area Group and the Homeland Security Grant law enforcement sub- committee. The Police Department is open to the public on weekdays from 8: 30 AM to 8: 00 PM. Public information pamphlets and resource brochures are available in the police station lobby. The ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT continues its commitment to plan, engineer and ensure the highest quality infrastructure to the residents of Brentwood. To meet the challenge of the growing demand for infrastructure, the Engineering Department pursued an aggressive approach to expedite the construction of major roadways, water storage and distribution and sanitary sewer collection treatment facilities. With available limited revenue sources of the City and grants through State and Federal programs, over $ 28 million was invested in the City’s roadway, sewer and water systems. The Engineering Department also works cooperatively with the development community to secure innovative financing for infrastructure ahead of the developments. Final maps, grading plans, roadway, sewer and water improvement plans were approved for 1,332 residential lots over the past year. The Building Division of the COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT continued to bring a number of major commercial projects online through plan check and construction inspection this year, including the Sand Creek Crossing Shopping Center with TJ Maxx, Homegoods, Raley's, Ross, Home Concepts Furniture, Starbucks, Hawaiian Barbeque, and many other stores in that center. Construction continued on the Walnut Business Park and the Town Center Office Park, bringing several new office buildings online. New commercial construction included a health club on Guthrie Lane, new office buildings and mini- storage on Sand Creek Road, a new Safeway shopping center on Balfour at Fairview, the Walgreen’s Center, and the Donahue & Shriber Regional Shopping Center including Home Depot, Kohl’s, Michaels, SportMart, Petco and Linen & Things. Three major church projects are also in the process of being constructed - Golden Hills, Resurrection Ministry, and Immaculate Heart. Two golf club houses are also being constructed. Sand Creek Business Center City of Brentwood Letter of Transmittal City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xxv Commercial construction accounted for $ 18,442,953.20 in construction valuation. All of the commercial Building Division activity is in addition to plan check and inspection of 1,400 new homes this past year. We also issued permits for 228 new pools. That works out to one new pool per workday. For the fiscal year 2002/ 03 2,634 permits were issued with a construction valuation of $ 294,446,335. In addition, the Building Division has increased the level of neighborhood preservation activities through code enforcement and the City wide trash drop off at the transfer station. In fiscal year 2002/ 2003, the PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT ended up with 142.66 usable park acres built or in design with expected dedication of an additional 15.46 acres in fiscal year 2003/ 04. The Parks and Recreation Department continues to work with both the Brentwood Union School District and Liberty Union High School District on joint- use facilities and will be modifying and updating the joint- use agreement in fiscal year 2003/ 2004. The year 2002 saw the first annual “ Day in the Park” Art and Wine Festival hosted by the City of Brentwood Arts Commission. Staff and members of the Arts Commission worked hard to put together this successful event for the nearly 5,000 people that attended. It is anticipated that this event will continue to grow each year. The Arts Commission hosted quarterly shows at the Brentwood Education and Technology Center. Commissioners worked with local schools to enable students to go to the site to see the Diego Rivera art exhibit, providing some art enrichment in the youth of our community. The Youth Commission completed Phase I of the Youth Master Plan. A “ Teen Crisis Referral” card was created and distributed to middle and high school students. The Senior Citizens Club was formed with the assistance of the recreation staff to help provide input and direction to the department as to the issues and needs of the growing senior population. In 2002, the Parks and Recreation Department received two Awards of Excellence from the California Park and Recreation Society ( CPRS). Awards received were for the “ Best Single Brochure” and “ Facility Design for the Skate Park”. The DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS is comprised of six Divisions: Solid Waste, Water Production and Distribution, Street Maintenance, Fleet Maintenance, Wastewater Treatment, which became its own division in 2002, and an Administration Division which provides support to each of the other Divisions. Originally established by the City of Brentwood nine years ago, the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund provides refuse collection for all residents within the City limits. While the Solid Waste Division continues to operate within a healthy enterprise funding, needs assessments and rate studies have not been conducted in the past. A study is currently underway to identify long- term needs in the Division. Also, a rate study will be implemented Brentwood Family Aquatic Complex City of Brentwood Letter of Transmittal City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xxvi to ensure that the enterprise is appropriately funded. The projected rates will support the current and future costs of the Division including expanding the capacity of the Transfer Station to accommodate residential drop off. The City of Brentwood’s Municipal Water System supplies approximately 90 million gallons of potable water to the community per month. Current and immediate future potable water needs are met through municipal wells and purchased water. There is a significant potential for reducing water demand by utilizing the reclaimed water from the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Staff will be investigating new well sites along with improving agreements with surface water purveyors to ensure future peak water demands are met. Staff is currently implementing a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition ( SCADA) program to the water distribution section. This computer controlled program will ensure reliable and consistent water supply by monitoring water use, remotely controlling pumping demands and providing reliable data for preventative maintenance work. The Street Maintenance Division is responsible for asphalt repair and replacement including emergency repairs, sidewalk repairs and curb and gutter replacements. The Street Maintenance Division is also responsible for street sweeping, sign production and replacement, pavement marking and storm drain maintenance. The costs associated with this division continue to see increases. These increases are primarily from preventative maintenance costs associated with the growth of our City. To help offset the costs, staff is implementing programs that will reduce these costs. Included in this is the new thermo plastic pavement marking equipment. This will increase the life span of legends and lines from eight months to six years. The Fleet Maintenance Division has been handles preventative maintenance and repairs for the majority of the City of Brentwood fleet. In FY 2003/ 04, regularly scheduled maintenance was performed on the 120 vehicles owned by the City. The current cost for the maintenance and repairs is approximately $ 85 an hour. Staff recently relocated to a new maintenance facility that is improving operational efficiencies. The City is also utilizing a number of electric vehicles to help reduce combustion engine emissions. The Wastewater Division is operating the newly completed $ 40 million tertiary treatment facility. Utilizing state- of- the- art process control, this facility has the capacity to process up to 4.5 mgd for beneficial reuse in irrigation throughout the City. Current average dry weather daily flow is 2.3 mgd. Funded through user and development fees, this facility ensures adequate treatment of the City of Brentwood’s wastewater. Staff has recently implemented a Sewer Lateral Maintenance Program that assists residents with maintenance, repair and/ or replacement of the property owner’s lateral from their property line to the main line. Each resident is billed $ 1.00 per month for this service. It is anticipated that this new enterprise will be self sufficient in two years. Staff completed, and City Council adopted, a comprehensive rate study that ensures the Treatment Plant is operating with sufficient funds to cover expenses. In Fiscal year 2003/ 04, a review of this rate study will be conducted to ensure the rates are maintaining sufficient City of Brentwood Letter of Transmittal City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xxvii enterprise funding. Also associated with the Wastewater Enterprise Fund is collection system maintenance. The current plan calls for the entire collection system to be cleaned once a year. Additionally, staff will be recommending the purchase of specialized video- based equipment to assist in determining the condition of the sanitary system. During the fiscal year 2002/ 03, the Brentwood REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY participated in several projects and programs in order to achieve the goals and objectives outlined in the Redevelopment Plans and Implementation Plan. The accomplishments associated with these projects and programs are described below. • The Agency funded sewer line improvements for health and safety purposes along Brentwood Boulevard and Almond Street for the benefit of eleven households and two commercial properties. • The Agency funded the construction of 52 additional parking spaces on Second Street in the Downtown District to facilitate both the expansion of existing businesses and the attraction of new businesses. The Agency also funded bike racks and additional security lighting for the Second Street parking lot. • Sand Creek and Gregory Ranch, a 40- acre commercial, residential, hotel and restaurant mixed- use development, was facilitated by the Agency’s agreement to reimburse $ 1.5M to the developer for assistance towards the roadway improvement costs. The development will provide 856 jobs, annual sales tax of $ 43,000 and transient occupancy tax of $ 130,300, as well as return the Agency’s investment of $ 1.5M in less than eight years due to the increased tax increment generated by the project. As of August 2003, three of the nine office buildings are complete and occupied, construction of the mini- storage component has commenced, roadway improvements are nearly complete and the site improvements for the 120 town home component have been started. • The Agency completed a lot line adjustment of two parcels it owns on the corner of Oak Street and Walnut Boulevard. The Agency is considering the development potential of assembling its two parcels with one privately owned parcel to the south, for a total assemblage of approximately 4.4 acres. The development could potentially consist of retail and/ or restaurants and could serve as a gateway to the downtown area. • Staff completed a Downtown Parking Structure Study to assess the design alternatives, construction costs and financial feasibility of a retail/ parking structure in the downtown area. The parking structure would house approximately 30,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space on the first floor, with three levels of parking above. A second phase study is currently underway to narrow and focus the conclusions of the first study, facilitate site selection, fine tune construction and land assemblage costs and revise the design options. EIR and Phase I site assessment studies will commence shortly. • The Agency’s Project Area Committee has stayed active in reviewing redevelopment housing activities and staying advised of general redevelopment projects. City of Brentwood Letter of Transmittal City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xxviii • In October 2002, the Agency adopted a Business Relocation Assistance Program for eligible businesses currently located within the Merged Redevelopment Project Areas and interested in voluntary relocation to Sunset Industrial Complex. It is hoped that the program will act as a catalyst in the removal of existing blighted conditions and to facilitate reuse and revitalization of the area. • As part of the Business Relocation Assistance Program, staff completed negotiations with Brentwood Ready Mix to relocate from North Brentwood Boulevard to the Sunset Industrial Complex. To facilitate the success and completion of the Sunset Industrial Complex, the Agency partially funded its infrastructure in the amount of $ 3M. • The Agency also continued its relationship with the Brentwood Chamber of Commerce by contributing $ 35,000 to the Chamber’s Marketing Program. The mission of the marketing program is to increase the economic viability of Brentwood by investing in existing businesses, attracting new businesses to Brentwood and emphasizing the quality of business and community life in Brentwood. • The Agency has also developed a multi- year economic strategic plan for the Downtown Area. Interviews of stakeholders, analysis of sales information and retail data collection is currently underway to help formulate an economic strategic plan for the Brentwood Boulevard Corridor Area in North Brentwood. • In January 2003, an analysis and study to determine the feasibility of adding territory along the Lone Tree Way corridor to the North Brentwood Project Area was performed. The findings concluded that while the survey area exhibited physical and economic blight factors necessary to create a new project area, the current development in the area is alleviating blighting conditions by private enterprise acting alone. • A disposition and development agreement was approved by the Agency in November 2002. The development of nine high- density, single family residential units on the Agency- owned, one- acre lot at 159 Sycamore Avenue is currently being negotiated. The developer of the Casitas Del Sol development is required to design a marketing and resale program that gives preference to residents and workers of Brentwood. This high density project will provide another housing product at a market price not currently available in the City of Brentwood’s predominately single family housing stock. • A disposition and development agreement was approved by the Agency in November 2002 for a $ 575,000 contribution from the Agency’s Housing Set Aside Fund for the development of Sycamore Place II, a 40- unit, very low income, senior housing development that will mirror an existing and successful complex in Brentwood. The non- profit owner/ operator also secured commitments from HUD and Contra Costa County HOME programs. • The Agency conditioned Sycamore Square, a single- family housing development in the North Brentwood Project Area, to produce eight inclusionary housing units. To comply with a portion of this condition, the developer and Agency staff are working together to rehab an existing triplex in the Merged Redevelopment Project Area. • In June 2003, the Agency approved a reimbursement agreement for the development of eight residential units in the Brentwood Project Area, of which two units shall remain affordable to lower income households for no less than 55 years. • Other ongoing affordable housing projects that are requesting Agency financial assistance include Habitat for Humanity’s Fairview Project, Mercy Housing’s Villa Amador Apartments, Affordable Housing Development Corporation’s Arbor Ridge Apartments and Terra Nova’s Brentwood Senior Commons. City of Brentwood Letter of Transmittal City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xxix • To further its mission in the upcoming 2003- 2004 year, the Agency will continue with its commercial, retail and industrial development programs, business assistance programs, public improvement and facilities programs and the assistance and participation in the expansion and improvement of the supply of very low, low and moderate income housing. Risk Management The City has initiated a limited risk management program for workers’ compensation and general liability. As part of this comprehensive plan, resources are being accumulated in a fund balance reserve to meet potential losses. In addition, various risk control techniques, including employee accident prevention training, have been implemented during the year to minimize accident- related losses. Effective with the renewal of excess insurance policies on July 1, 2002, third- party coverage is currently maintained for workers’ compensation and risk liability claims up to $ 350,000. Risk liability coverage is currently maintained and provides coverage in three tiers: $ 1 million with 18 cities in primary insurance pool, with a $ 5,000 deductible; $ 2 million excess $ 1 million in an excess self- insurance pool with 135 members; Through the excess pool, CARMA , we have reinsurance to $ 15 million. This is with Am Re and would be $ 12 million plus $ 3 million. Total liability coverage is $ 15 million, subject to a $ 10,000 deductible. Independent Audit The Government Code of the State of California requires general law cities, such as the City of Brentwood, to have its financial statements audited by an independent certified public accountant. Accordingly, this year’s audit was completed by the accounting firm of Vavrinek, Trine, Day and Co., LLP. In addition to meeting the requirements set forth in state statutes, the audit also was designed to meet the requirements of the Federal Single Audit Act of 1984 and related OMB Circular A- 133. The auditor’s report on the general purpose financial statements is included in the financial section hereof. The examination relating to the single audit was found to be under the limit and not needed for fiscal year 2002/ 03. Certificate of Achievement The Government Finance Officers Association ( GFOA) and California Society of Municipal Finance Officers ( CSMFO) both offer a recognition program for public entities to determine whether the City conforms to the highest level of governmental accounting and financial reporting standards. Its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management. If a city qualifies, a Certificate of Achievement is awarded for a period of one year. GFOA and CSMFO awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Brentwood for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, the City’s second CAFR. The Certificate of Achievement is a prestigious national award recognizing conformance with the highest standards for preparation of state and local government financial reports. City of Brentwood Letter of Transmittal City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR xxx Acknowledgements I wish to thank the City Council for providing clear policy direction and goals that have been used to prepare this comprehensive annual financial report. I would also like to express my appreciation to all City of Brentwood staff members who have taken the time to participate in the development of the report. A great deal of effort and attention to detail has gone into the preparation of this document, representing many hours of work by staff members throughout the organization. These dedicated members assisted and contributed to its preparation. Special recognition is given to the Finance Department staff, and specifically Denise Davies, Gail Leech, Patti Bowden, Brian Kelleher, Pat Meyer and Liz Ybarra. Their efforts made it possible to improve the quality of the information being reported to the citizens, the City Council, and other users on a much timelier basis. Appreciation is also expressed to the Mayor, the City Council, and the City Manager for their interest and support in planning and conducting the financial activities of the City in a responsible and responsive manner. The City of Brentwood has a bright future ahead because of its committed elected leadership combined with the talents and ingenuity of the individuals within this organization. One of the key components in securing this future is through a well- planned, long- term fiscal strategy, based upon economic development that will generate high paying, long- term employment opportunities, new and stable sales tax revenue sources and improved intergovernmental relations. City Council and staff have taken steps to plan and implement this long- term strategy. Though the challenges are great, the City is firmly committed to meeting each and every challenge that comes our way. This comprehensive annual financial report is the next step towards meeting those challenges. By continuing to follow the financial policy set forth by the City Council, the City of Brentwood will deliver the highest level of service permitted by the available resources.

These basic financial statements are the responsibility of the City's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these basic financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller 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 of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the basic financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business- type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Brentwood, California, as of June 30, 2003, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR Page 2 In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated October 30, 2003 on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit. The Required Supplementary Information, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis and budgetary comparison information, as listed in the table of contents, is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. This Required Supplementary Information is the responsibility of the management of the City. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and accordingly, we do not express an opinion. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules listed in the table of contents are presented for purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements of the City. These financial statements and schedules are also the responsibility of the management of the City. Such additional information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements, and in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The scope of our audit did not include the introductory section and statistical schedules listed in the table of contents and we do not express an opinion on them. Pleasanton, California October 30, 2003 City of Brentwood Management’s Discussion and Analysis Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2003 City of Brentwood – 2002/ 03 CAFR Page 3 This discussion and analysis of the City of Brentwood’s financial performance provides an overview of the City’s financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. Please read it in conjunction with the accompanying transmittal letter, the basic financial statements and the accompanying notes to those financial statements. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS The total assets of the City exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $ 363.9 million. Of this amount, $ 43.6 million may be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. The City’s total net assets increased $ 74.1 million, primarily due to the completion of projects and acquisition of assets from developers. As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $ 70.4 million, a decrease of $ 1.4 million net in comparison to the prior year. The City’s total long- term debt increased by $ 3.7 million. The increase is primarily the result of an increase in the State Water Resources note payable. The City’s Emergency Preparedness Fund has a balance of $ 5 million at year end, which is an increase of $ 3 million from the prior year. Overview of the Financial Statements The financial statements presented herein include all of the activities of the City of Brentwood (“ the City”) and its component units using the blended approach as prescribed by government accounting standards. The Government- Wide Financial Statements present the financial picture of the City from the economic resources measurement focus using the accrual basis of accounting. They present governmental activities and business type activities separately. These statements include all assets of the City ( including infrastructure) as well as all liabilities ( including long- term debt). Additionally, certain eliminations have occurred as prescribed by the statement in regards to interfund activity, payables and receivables. City of Brentwood Management’s Discussion and Analysis Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2003 City of Brentwood - 2002/ 03 CAFR Page 4 The Fund Financial Statements include statements for each of the three categories of activities – governmental, business- type and fiduciary. The governmental activities are prepared using the current financial resources measurement focus and modified accrual basis of accounting. The business- type activities are prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. The fiduciary activities are agency funds, which only report a balance sheet and do not have a measurement focus. Reconciliation of the Fund Financial Statements to the Government- Wide Financial Statements is provided to explain the differences created by the integrated approach. Government- Wide Financial Statements The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets report information about the City as a whole and about its activities. These statements include all assets and liabilities of the City using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the accounting used by most private- sector companies. All of the current year’s revenues and expenses are taken into account regardless of when cash is received or paid. These two statements report the City’s net assets and changes in them. Net assets are the difference between assets and liabilities, which is one way to measure the City’s financial health, or financial position. Over time, increases or decreases in the City’s net assets are one indicator of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating. Other factors to consider are changes in the City’s property tax base and the condition of the City’s roads. In the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets, we separate the City activities as follows: Governmental Activities – Most of the City’s basic services are reported in this category including the General Government, Public Safety, Community Development, Engineering, Public Works, Parks and Community Services. Property and sales taxes, user fees, interest income, franchise fees and state and federal grants finance these activities. City of Brentwood Management’s Discussion and Analysis Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2003 City of Brentwood - 2002/ 03 CAFR Page 5 Business- Type Activities – The City charges a fee to customers to cover all or most of the cost of certain services it provides. The City’s Wastewater, Solid Waste, Water, Parks and Recreation and City Rental activities are reported in this category. Fund Financial Statements The fund financial statements provide detailed information about the most significant funds – not the City as a whole. Some funds are required to be established by State law and by bond covenants. However, management establishes many other funds to help it control and manage money for particular purposes or to show that it is meeting legal responsibilities for using certain taxes, grants, and other money. Governmental Funds - Most of the City’s basic services are reported in governmental funds, which focus on how money flows into and out of those funds and the balances left at year- end that are available for spending. These funds are reported using an accounting method called modified accrual accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash. The governmental fund statements provide a detailed short- term view of the City’s general government operations and the basic services it provides. Governmental fund information helps determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the City’s programs. The differences of results in the Governmental Fund financial statements to those in the Government- Wide financial statements are explained in a reconciliation following each Governmental Fund financial statement. Proprietary Funds - When the City charges customers for the services it provides – whether outside customers or other units of the City – these services are generally reported in proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are reported in the same way that all activities are reported in the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets. In fact, the City’s enterprise funds are the same as the business- type activities we report in the government- wide statements but provide more detail and additional information, such as cash flows, for proprietary funds. We use internal service funds ( the other component of proprietary funds) to report activities that provide supplies and services for the City’s other programs and activities – such as the City’s Information Systems, Fleet Maintenance and Equipment Replacement Funds. The Internal Service funds are reported with governmental activities in the Government- Wide financial statements. City of Brentwood Management’s Discussion and Analysis Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2003 City of Brentwood - 2002/ 03 CAFR Page 6 Reporting the City’s Fiduciary Responsibilities The City is the trustee, or fiduciary, for certain amounts held on behalf of developers, property owners, and others. The City’s fiduciary activities are reported in separate Statements of Fiduciary Net Assets. We exclude these activities from the Government- Wide financial statements because the City cannot use these assets to finance its operations. The City is responsible for ensuring that the assets reported in these funds are used for their intended purposes. 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. Other Information In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information concerning the City’s progress in funding its obligation to provide pension benefits to its employees, budgetary comparison schedules for the general fund and each major special revenue fund. GOVERNMENT- WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS The net assets for the City as a whole increased 25.57% from $ 289.8 million at June 30, 2002 to $ 363.9 million at June 30, 2003. This increase of $ 74.1 million comes from the change in net assets as recorded in the Statement of Activities and flows through the Statement of Net Assets. Program expenses by function, general revenues by major source, excess and/ or deficiency of revenues over expenses before contributions to fund principal, special, and extraordinary items, and total assets are presented in the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Assets.

However, as shown in the Statement of Activities, the amount that the taxpayers ultimately financed for these activities was only $ 22.6 million because some of the cost was paid by those who directly benefited from the programs ($ 13.9 million), or by other governments and organizations that subsidized certain programs with operating grants and contributions ($. 2 million) and capital grants and contributions ($. 1 million). Community Development and Engineering show net revenue of $ 3.2 and $ 2.8 million, respectively, which is the result of this aggressive growth. Overall, the City’s governmental program revenues were $ 14.2 million. The City paid for the remaining “ public benefit” portion of governmental activities with $ 13.3 million in taxes ( some of which could only be used for certain programs) and with other revenues, such as interest and general entitlements. Total resources available during the year to finance governmental operations were $ 262.2 million consisting of Net Assets at July 1, 2002 of $ 183.6 million, program revenues of $ 14.2 million and general revenues of $ 64.4 million. Total Governmental Activities during the year were $ 36.8 million; thus Net Assets were increased by $ 41.8 million to $ 225.4 million.

City of Brentwood Management’s Discussion and Analysis Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2003 City of Brentwood - 2002/ 03 CAFR Page 11 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY’S FUNDS The fund balance at year- end for the City’s General Fund of $ 19,302,492 is an overall increase of $ 10,341,946 over last year, primarily due to the Community Development and Engineering Funds moving to the General Fund. The Special Revenue Funds decreased by $ 9,057,600 from the prior year, this primarily attributable to the Community Development and Engineering Funds moving to the General Fund. The Capital Projects Funds decreased by $ 2,905,265 from the prior year, this is attributable to the aggressive building program the City has adopted. Internal Service Funds show an increase in Net Assets of $ 5,936,903. The City has been able to continue to fully fund all the replacement funds and increase the Emergency Preparedness Fund by $ 3,000,000.

City of Brentwood Management’s Discussion and Analysis Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2003 City of Brentwood - 2002/ 03 CAFR Page 13 CASH MANAGEMENT The City invests temporarily idle cash in accordance with the Government Code and a formal investment policy approved by the City Council. This policy limits investments to certain types of instruments and requires that investments must meet established criteria for safety, liquidity and yield. As of June 30, 2003, investments ( not including investments with fiscal agent) totaled $ 130.6 million of which $ 56.4 was invested in the California State Local Agency Investment Fund ( LAIF) and $ 74.2 in other investments managed by Public Financial Management ( PFM). The portfolio managed by Public Financial Management is in full compliance with California Government Code Section 53601 and the City’s investment policy. The City’s investment policy is to minimize credit and market risks while maintaining a competitive yield on its portfolio. Accordingly, deposits were either insured by federal depository insurance or collateralized, with all collateral held either by the City, its agent, or a financial institution’s trust department in the City’s name. All investments held by the government during the year and at June 30, 2003, are classified in the category of lowest credit risk as defined by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. To obtain flexibility in cash management, the City employs a pooled cash system ( Reference Note 3 in the Notes to the Basic Financial Statements). Under the pooled cash concept, the City invests the cash of all funds with maturities planned to coincide with cash needs. Idle cash is invested in certain eligible securities as constrained by law and further limited by the City’s Investment Policy. The goals of the City’s Investment Policy are safety, liquidity and yield. CAPITAL ASSETS The capital assets of the City are those assets which are used in the performance of the City’s functions including infrastructure assets. At June 30, 2003, capital assets net of accumulated depreciation of the governmental activities totaled $ 184,849,115 and capital assets net of accumulated depreciation of the business- type activities totaled $ 148,205,105.

City of Brentwood Management’s Discussion and Analysis Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2003 City of Brentwood - 2002/ 03 CAFR Page 15 Beginning Balance + Supplemental Changes = Final Budget $ 26,673,536 + 4,274,503 = $ 30,948,039 Supplemental General Fund budget changes include the following: • $ 4,102,000 in General Obligation Bond monies transferred to the Police Station Project. • $ 275,000 transfer to the Parks Enterprise Fund approved at mid- year budget review. • ($ 102,497) in various budget adjustments approved at mid- year budget review. ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGETS AND RATES The key assumptions in the General Fund revenue forecast for fiscal year 2003/ 04 were: 1. The Property Tax revenue estimate of $ 3,664,727 for fiscal year 2003/ 04 is 20% above the 2002/ 03 budgeted amount. 2. Sales Tax revenues are expected to increase by 28%. This increase is forecasted because of an anticipated rise in local economic activity and new businesses locating in Brentwood. 3. The 20% increase in Franchise Fees is due to population growth and commercial development. 4. Investment earnings will increase an estimated $ 600,000 due to Brentwood’s continued increase in consumer confidence and exponential growth with new home construction and the addition of several large chain outlets on the frontier. 5. Approximately 1000 new housing units will be constructed. 6. Business License revenues are estimated to increase for fiscal year 2003/ 04 to $ 300,000, which is 182% above the 2002/ 03 budgeted amount. This projected increase is due to the new business license tax that was passed by the voters in November 2002, new businesses that are expected to come to Brentwood and continued code enforcement. New items specifically addressed in the 2003/ 04 budget were: Public Safety - The City Council has put Public Safety as one of its priorities and is committed to make Brentwood one of the safest cities in California. Safe streets and low crime rates attract growth in both residential and business development. FY 2003/ 04 City of Brentwood Management’s Discussion and Analysis Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2003 City of Brentwood - 2002/ 03 CAFR Page 16 includes hiring four ( 4) sworn positions. This will bring sworn staffing levels in the Police Department to 56. Additionally, $ 432,000 was budgeted for Fire Department/ EMT service. Recreational and Cultural - As the population of Brentwood continues to grow, the City is committed to expanding both the park and recreational programs and facilities to meet the increased need for the constructive use of leisure time. For seniors, the City has assisted the formation of a non- profit Senior Advisory Board to assist and advise the City in the expansion of senior programs. The City of Brentwood Youth Commission is moving forward with a number of projects to better inform and serve the needs of the youth in our community. Continued support for the PAL Program, Dimes- A- Ride, Woman’s Club and the Library were included in the budget. The City is also committed to the expansion of family activities, which include an expansion of the free Summer Concerts Under the Stars, held in the City Park on Friday nights, and a joint project with the Brentwood Police Activities League to sponsor two after school enrichment programs for elementary and middle school students. Levels of Service - In light of budget pressures stemming from the general economy and looming state takeaways, the City of Brentwood strived to maintain or surpass its current levels of service. This goal was aided by increasing salaries which will allow the City to hire and keep quality staff. Community Development - A comprehensive review and update of the complete Zoning Ordinance is planned to bring it into conformance with contemporary zoning standards, make it user friendly and to clear up any inconsistencies. A Downtown, Brentwood Boulevard and Empire Triangle Specific Plan, as directed by the General Plan, was developed to maintain and enhance the vitality of these areas by establishing comprehensive policies to guide long term use, urban design, parking, development standards and economic development. Business License - The City of Brentwood has developed additional revenue from business license tax by citizens passing Measure D, which increased our tax by moving to gross receipts. This revenue is significant because it is not considered discretionary and therefore is not subject to state take away. Retail Expansion - Sand Creek Crossing, a 260,000 square foot community center, is complete and will offer the far- east county population shopping opportunities that have not been present in the region. Lone Tree Plaza, a 454,000 square foot community center, Lone Tree Center, an 180,000 square foot community center and three neighborhood centers totaling 220,000 square feet are in City of Brentwood Management’s Discussion and Analysis Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2003 City of Brentwood - 2002/ 03 CAFR Page 17 various stages of construction will be complete in late 2003. These six projects, totaling 1,114,000 square feet, will generate approximately $ 3,000,000 in sales tax when complete. Economic Development/ Redevelopment - The budget focuses on the following items: • Public infrastructure and improvement within the Redevelopment Project Areas • Support of reinvestment projects in Downtown • Downtown Parking Study • Development of multi- level retail/ restaurant/ parking facility at Oak and Walnut • Implementing the Manufacturing Attraction Program • Redevelopment Agency housing programs Facility Development - The current City Hall functions are overcrowded. Two projects are underway to alleviate this problem in the short- term. The first project is the expansion and renovation of the City Hall facility at 120 Oak Street to accommodate the Engineering department. The second project is the renovation of the existing City Hall to accommodate the remaining City functions. In order to provide a permanent City Hall to house all appropriate City functions in an effective and productive environment, the City is designing and constructing a new City Hall in the vicinity of the existing City Hall. Emergency Preparedness Fund - FY 2002/ 03 represents the second year the City will have the Emergency Preparedness fund totaling $ 5,000,000. Having this fund underscores City Council’s continued commitment to be prepared for a critical incident or catastrophic event in the future. Vehicle License Fees - This approximately $ 1.9 million revenue source is not safe from State takeaway due to continuing budget uncertainty on the State level. We are concerned that the State may act further to lower the amount of the fee that local governments receive. The State makes up the balance of the vehicle license fee from its general fund, thereby trading one of our rather constant revenue sources for one subject to the impulse of the State legislature. This revenue has been reduced in anticipation of State budget cuts.
