A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects City of Encinitas, California's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of City of Encinitas, California's financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by City of Encinitas, California's internal control. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected by City of Encinitas, California's internal control. Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. VVe did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether City of Encinitas, California's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests did not disclose any instance of noncompliance or other matter that is required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council and management of the City of Encinitas, California and federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. . p ! ~ ~ -2- DIEHL EVANS ~ ~~MPANY LLP ~ ~ CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS ~ CONSULTANTS A PARTNERSHIP INCLUDING ACCOUNTANCY CORPORATIONS *PHILIP H.

The City of Encinitas, California's maj or federal programs are identified in the summary of auditors' results section of the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to its maj or federal programs is the responsibility of the City of Encinitas, California's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the City of Encinitas, California's compliance based on our audit. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditin~ Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States' Local Governments, and Non-Profit Or~anizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-13 3 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred.

Internal Control Over Compliance The management of the City of Encinitas, California is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to federal programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City of Encinitas, California's internal control over compliance with the requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Encinitas, California's internal control over compliance. A control deficiency in an entity's internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the entity's ability to administer a federal program such that there is more than a remote likelihood that noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity's internal control. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented or detected by the entity's internal control. Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. -4- Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each maj or fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Encinitas, California as of and for the year ended June 30, 2008 and have issued our report thereon dated December 8, 2008.

The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by OMB Circular A-133 and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
