REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND
OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL AUDITING STANDARDS
Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
of the City of Encinitas
Encinitas, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental
activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the
City of Encinitas, California (the “City”) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015, and the related notes to
the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements, and have issued
our report thereon dated December 9, 2015.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control
over financial reporting (“internal control”) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express
an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management
or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct,
misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s
financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant
deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a
material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this
section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses
may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's financial statements are free from
material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the
determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those
provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The
results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be
reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance
and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal
control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this
communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR FEDERAL PROGRAM; ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER COMPLIANCE AND ON THE SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS
REQUIRED BY OMB CIRCULAR A-133
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
of the City of Encinitas
Encinitas, California
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
We have audited the City of Encinitas, California’s (the “City”) compliance with the types of compliance
requirements described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (“OMB”) Circular A-133 Compliance
Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year
ended June 30, 2015. The City’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor’s results
section of the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs.
Management’s Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants
applicable to its federal programs.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the City’s major federal programs
based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. 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 Auditing Standards, is-sued by the
Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments,
and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the City’s compliance with those
requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal
program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City’s compliance.
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements
referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the
year ended June 30, 2015.

Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over
compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our
audit of compliance, we considered the City’s internal control over compliance with the types of
requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program to determine the
auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
compliance for each major federal program and to test and report on internal control over compliance in
accordance with OMB Circular A-133, 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’s internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over
compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a
federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency,
or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not
be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over
compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type
of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal
control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over
compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However,
material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each
major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of and for the year ended June 30,
2015, and have issued our report thereon dated December 9, 2015 which contained an unmodified opinion
on those financial statements. Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming our opinions on the
financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. 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 financial statements. Such information is the
responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and
other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain other procedures, including
comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to
prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional
procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In
our opinion, the Schedule of Expenditure of Federal Awards is fairly stated in all material respects in relation
to the basic financial statements as a whole.

Notes to the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
For the Year Ended June 30, 2015

Note 1 – Reporting Entity
The City of Encinitas (the City) was incorporated on October 1, 1986, pursuant to an election approving the
San Dieguito Reorganization Plan, which consisted primarily of the detachment of territory from the Cardiff
area and the annexation of the same territory to the City of Solana Beach.
The reporting entity of the City includes the accounts of the City, as the primary government, and the
following blended component units: the Encinitas Housing Authority (the EHA), the Encinitas Public
Financing Authority (the EPFA), and the San Dieguito Water District (SDWD).
The EHA was formed on January 26, 1994, under the laws of the State of California to provide
housing assistance to citizens of the City.
The EPFA was formed on November 6, 1991, by the City and SDWD as a Joint Powers Authority
under the laws of the State of California to purchase, finance, and lease certain real property to the
members. The member agencies are the City and the SDWD.
SDWD was formed in 1922 under the laws of the State of California to supply water services to the
central western portion of San Diego County. Certain management, maintenance, and operating
functions are the responsibility of the City, which bills periodically for these services.
The criteria used in determining the scope of the reporting entity are based on the provisions of
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No 14, The Financial Reporting Entity, as
amended by GASB Statement No. 61, The Financial Reporting Entity - Omnibus –An Amendment of GASB
Statements No. 14 and No. 34. The City is the primary governmental unit. Component units are financially
accountable to the City. Financial accountability exists if the primary government appoints a voting majority
of the entity's governing body and (1) it is able to impose its will on that organization or (2) there is potential
for the organization to provide financial benefit, or impose financial burdens on the primary government. The
component units have been accounted for as "blended" component units of the City. Despite being legally
separate, these entities are so intertwined with the City that they are, in substance, part of the City's
operations. Accordingly, the balances and transactions of these component units are reported within the
funds of the City. SDWD is reported as an enterprise fund of the City.
The following specific criteria were used in determining the status of these component units:
Members of the City Council also act as the governing body of the EHA, the EPFA, and SDWD.
The City, the EHA, the EPFA, and SDWD are financially interdependent.
The EHA, the EPFA, and SDWD are managed, at least in part, by employees of the City, who
provide various support functions including financial reporting and investment decisions.
Separate financial statements for SDWD are available at the City's administrative office. Separate financial
statements are not required or prepared for the EHA and the EPFA.
