The financial statements are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These financial statements have been audited by Maze and Associates, independent certified public accountants, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. The goal of the independent audit is to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the City are free of material misstatements. Maze and Associates, has issued an unmodified (“clean”) opinion on the City of Daly City’s financial statements. The auditor’s report is located at the front of the financial section of this report. Management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the information contained in this report, based on a comprehensive framework of internal controls that are established for this purpose. Because the cost of internal controls should not exceed anticipated benefits, the objective is to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements are free of any material misstatements. The CAFR is divided into three sections: (1) The Introductory Section includes the Letter of Transmittal, an organizational overview of the City government and prior awards received. (2) The Financial Section includes the Independent Auditor’s Report, Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Government-wide Financial Statements, Fund Financial Statements, Notes to the Financial Statements, Required Supplementary Information, Combining Financial Statements, and schedules. (3) The Statistical Section includes a number of tables of unaudited data depicting the financial, economic and demographic information of the City.

  • School Bond Citizens' Oversight Committees, Prop 39
    School Bond Citizens’ Oversight Committees, Prop 39 Issue | Background | Findings | Conclusions | Recommendations | Responses | Attachments Issue Are San Mateo County school district Proposition 39 Citizens’ Oversight Committees effective? • Can they make a difference by insuring that bond money is spent effectively? • Can cost overruns be avoided? • Can they ensure fraudulent practices or mismanagement of bond funds do not occur? Background On November 7, 2000, California voters approved Proposition 39, the Smaller Classes, Safer Schools and Financial Accountability Act. The measure required a 55% voter approval and specified accountability requirements for school construction bond measures, including requirements for certain types of audits. Proposition 39 requires school districts that pass Proposition 39 bonds to seat a Citizens’ Oversight Committee (COC) to assure the community that bond funds are expended in the fashion outlined in the district’s bond resolution. The COC must meet at least once a year and inform the public about the expenditure of bond revenues. The COC shall actively review and report on the proper expenditure of taxpayers’ money for school construction. The California Legislature passed and Governor Davis signed, Assembly Bill 1908 which provided additional requirements relative to school district general obligation bond elections. Those requirements included provisions for school districts conducting Proposition 39 elections to have a COC as required by Education Code Sections 15278, 15280, and 152821. The COC shall advise the public as to whether a school or community college district is in compliance with the requirements of California Constitution article XIIIA, section 1, subdivision (b), paragraph (3). The COC shall consist of at least seven members to serve for a term of two years without compensation and for no more than two consecutive terms.

  • Should Tire-Derived Products Be Used on Athletic Fields in San Mateo County Schools?
    SHOULD TIRE-DERIVED PRODUCTS BE USED ON ATHLETIC FIELDS IN SAN MATEO COUNTY SCHOOLS? Issue | Summary | Glossary | Background | Discussion | Findings | Recommendations Requests for Responses | Methodology | Bibliography | Appendixes | Responses ISSUE In recent years, the use of recycled rubber tires, or “tire-derived products” (TDP), in playground and athletic field surfaces nationwide has increased. The trend began as a way to dispose of the enormous amount of tire-related waste that is generated each year. The Grand Jury investigated the use of these tire-derived products in San Mateo County school athletic fields in light of the considerable health and safety concerns raised by other communities and expressed in the print and online media regarding such products, particularly its “crumb rubber” form. How many crumb rubber fields exist at San Mateo County schools, and what is the process used by school districts to consider the safety and desirability of such material before utilizing it to replace existing fields? SUMMARY Citizens in communities around the U.S. have expressed concern to school districts, legislators and public facilities administrators that children may be exposed to potentially toxic materials by using artificial turf (AT) fields surfaced with TDP, particularly crumb rubber. Aware of these types of concerns, the Grand Jury became interested in what local school districts are doing to address them. The Grand Jury investigated the use of crumb rubber in athletic fields maintained by local school districts, including the process and costs of installation and maintenance of such fields, and the monetary grants and subsidies offered as incentives to use TDP. The Grand Jury also examined arguments in favor of artificial turf fields made with crumb rubber, including how those fields compare with natural grass in terms of overall costs, maintenance costs, safety for the people who use them, and the potential impact on the environment.

  • School Construction Management in San Mateo County
    Issue | Background | Findings | Conclusions | Recommendations | Responses | Attachments School Construction Management in San Mateo County County Superintendent of Schools Should Act Issue What can the San Mateo County Superintendent of Schools do to help San Mateo County school districts adopt and follow best practices for fiscal and construction management of large capital improvement projects? Background The 2004-2005 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury (prior Grand Jury) reported1 on problems with school construction projects in San Mateo County (County), including cost overruns, defective construction, and construction-related legal problems, and recommended that the County Superintendent of Schools play a role in correcting these problems. The 2006-2007 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury (Grand Jury) revisited this issue to see what action the County Superintendent has taken. San Mateo County has 23 local school districts each governed by a publicly-elected school board that is responsible for hiring a district superintendent. Superintendents are responsible for implementing Board of Trustees educational policies, preparing annual budgets, overseeing the routine maintenance of facilities and, on occasion, are also responsible for school construction projects. Managing major construction or renovation projects, usually in conjunction with a bond issue or state mandate, requires a skill set not normally associated with educators. School districts are generally inexperienced in dealing with the complexities of construction management, so they depend on contractors and architects. This lack of experience can affect the cost, quality and timeliness of construction undertakings and the media routinely reports the resulting project cost overruns, delays, poor workmanship, and legal actions for remedies that can often be traced to the inadequate management 1 “School Construction Management in San Mateo County,” 2004-2005 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury report.
